Blair , Hassleberry and several other students have been assigned to take pictures of each student who will soon graduate for the class yearbook . They also begin to plan a graduation party for the third - year students , as well as a Tag Dueling tournament . Hassleberry asks Alexis to find Jaden and invite him , as they have been unable to locate him or get his picture . After graduation , Alexis plans to stay at Duel Academy as a research student . However , Chancellor Sheppard wrote to the headmaster of an American Duel College , and they have agreed to accept Alexis as a transfer student should she be interested . Looking through pictures on her computer from her first year at the Academy , she comments that she ' s not seen Jaden smile as he does in such pictures in a long time . Jaden is sitting on a rock , fishing , Pharaoh at his side . The spirit of Professor Banner emerges and questions whether Jaden should be relaxing that much . He responds that both Maximillion Pegasus and Kagemaru are cooperating with him , but he cannot take any further action until Axel discovers something more in his investigation . Alexis and Blair finally locate him , and force him to take some pictures for the graduation album . After this , Jaden walks away , not eager to spend any more time than he has to among others . Alexis tries to convince him to be more cooperative , but he ignores her altogether . Blair reveals the Tag Dueling tournament they are planning and urges him to participate . Jaden responds that he will , if " he feels like it . " On the day of the tournament , Jaden contemplates attending as he wanders the halls , looking through his Deck and commenting on " the friends he has fought with " , not referring to his human friends , but to his cards , such as " Winged Kuriboh " and " Elemental Hero Flame Wingman " . Hassleberry reveals the rules for the tournament . Teams of two , consisting of one boy and one girl will be formed . Senior students must pair together , and junior students must pair together . Each team shares one field between the two partners , and each partner may attack with one another ' s monsters and utilize any Spell and Trap Card s their partner has Set as if they were their own . Chazz and Syrus begin fighting over which of them Alexis will partner with , and she ultimately decides to leave . Chazz tells Syrus to pair up with Jaden since he has always been for him . Syrus still holding Chazz angrily questions why should he pair up with a guy . As she nears the door , Jaden enters , having finally decided to come . Assuming Alexis has chosen Jaden as her partner , Hassleberry announces the pairing as official . This leaves both Chazz and Syrus without partners , so they do not participate . Jaden and Alexis ' first Duel is against Chancellor Sheppard and Ms . Dorothy , who reveal that they were allowed to participate in the junior student block specifically to Duel them . Sheppard Summons his " Cyber Ogre 2 " on the first turn . Alexis Summons a monster in Defense Position and Sets " De - Fusion " , thinking Jaden can use it on his turn . Ms . Dorothy appears not to know how to Duel , and Summons " Marshmallon " in Attack Position and does not attack with Sheppard ' s " Cyber Ogre 2 " . Jaden defeats them on his first turn , using " Elemental Hero Darkbright " and his own " De - Fusion " , as he does not bother to check what Alexis had Set , even after she asks him to do so . Hassleberry and Blair are partners , and defeat both Mindy and Jasmine along with their unnamed partners back - to - back . As his " Dark Tyranno " finishes off the opponent , they watch Jaden and Alexis ' next Duel . Alexis equip s " Cyber Angel Benten " with " Ritual Weapon " , while their opponent Summons " Stone Statue of the Aztecs " and equips it with " Mist Body " , preventing it from being destroyed in battle . She has " Mystical Space Typhoon " Set . Once again , Jaden does not check the Set card , and instead uses " Gift of the Martyr " to Tribute " Cyber Angel Benten " in order to power - up " Elemental Hero Flare Neos " after playing " Neo Space " and " H - Heated Heart " . He then uses " Flare Neos " to attack " Stone Statue of the Aztecs " . Although it was not destroyed due to " Mist Body " , their opponents still took Battle Damage as " Flare Neos " was affected by " H - Heated Heart " . The male opponent is then knocked down as his team ' s Life Points drop to 0 . His teammate asks if he is okay . Jaden then apologizes to the group if he did any harm to them before returning to Alexis ' s side . When Jaden heads back to Alexis , he is shocked that Alexis is upset with him . Jaden questions why is she angry . Alexis explains that even though her " Benten " was powered up by " Ritual Weapon " , Jaden Tributed it like it was nothing . Jaden notes they still won . Alexis tells him it isn ' t all right . Though they are consistently winning , they are not functioning as a team , which is the whole point . Alexis tells him to trust her as a partner . Jaden tells her to trust him as he is trying to win 100 % . Alexis gets even more angry at this , which leaves Jaden shocked and confused by what Alexis told him . Featured Duels .
