Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX - Episode 145 " The Forbidden Ritual , Part 2 " , known as " Summon - Ultimate Sealed God , Exodius ! " in the Japanese version , is the one hundred and forty - fifth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " anime . It first aired in Japan on July 18 , 2007 and in the US on May 24 , 2008 . Summary . Echo willingly steps forward to be sacrificed by Adrian in order to release Exodia ' s seal during the latter ' s Duel with Aster . Aster questions how Adrian can claim to love Echo but still be wiling to sacrifice her . Adrian refuses to respond , and Exodia ' s hand appears and grabs Echo . Aster states he won ' t continue the Duel , but Adrian responds that they can ' t stop now - neither can leave until one of them loses . Adrian Summons " Exodios the Ultimate Forbidden Lord " and Aster comments that it ' s " a different Exodia " . This card actually makes it " beneficial " to send Exodia pieces to the Graveyard - if all five are sent there via it ' s effect , Adrian can declare an automatic win . Jaden comments that Adrian is just like him - they are both willing to risk everything to gain power . In the Japanese version , Aster specifically says that this isn ' t a sacrifice - it ' s murder . Adrian freely agrees with him - it is murder . Aster attempts to counter Adrian ' s strategy by playing cards that skip Adrian ' s Battle Phase , which would prevent him from sending Exodia pieces to the Graveyard . However , Adrian ultimately wins by playing " Rage of the Forbidden One " , negating Aster ' s " Plasma Discharger " . This allows him sacrifice Echo , win the Duel , and release Exodia - who becomes his servant . With Exodia ' s power , Adrian is free from Yubel ' s , and thus the Devil Arm fades away and is replaced with his own . With Aster about to lose , he urges the rest of the group to flee before Exodius attacks . The attack hits , and Aster fades away as Jaden , Syrus , Dr . Crowler , Zane and Ojama Yellow barely make it out in time . Outside , Exodia slowly lumbers away , with Adrian perched on it ' s shoulder . Adrian taunts Jaden as they pass calling him " The Supreme King ' s cast - off shell " and " not worth Dueling " . Adrian then vows to dedicate his future victory over Yubel to Echo .

Now if there are two or more Plasma Counter s placed on " Plasma Roar " , Aster can send " Plasma Roar " to the Graveyard , destroy one monster on the field , and inflict half of that monster ' s ATK as damage to Adrian . Adrian then Sets a card . Turn 10 : Aster Aster draws . During Aster ' s Standby Phase , the first effect of " Destiny Hero - Departed " activates , Special Summoning itself from Aster ' s Graveyard to Adrian ' s side of the field ( 1000 / 0 ) in Attack Position . " Plasma " attacks " Departed " , but Adrian activates his face - down " Defense Seal Wall " to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase as he controls " Exodios the Ultimate Forbidden Lord " .

Adrian then activates the third effect of " Exodios " to send " Exodia the Forbidden One " from his hand to the Graveyard ( " Exodios " : 4000 → 5000 / 0 ) . Since there are five differently named " Forbidden One " monsters in Adrian ' s Graveyard and " Exodios the Ultimate Forbidden Lord " is present on Adrian ' s side of the field , Adrian automatically wins the Duel ( this is visualized by " Exodia " , and not " Exodios " appearing to attack " Plasma " ) .
