After carding all of Judai's friends....Judai finally confronts Yuri....Driven to a corner will he be able to win?

## Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Yuri

**Turn 1: Yuri**

Yuri draws. Yuri Normal Summons "Predaplant Cephalotusnail" (1300/1200).

**Turn 2: Jaden**

Jaden draws. Jaden then uses the effect of "Double Fusion" to fuse "Elemental Hero Avian" with "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" in order to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. Jaden uses the effect of "Double Fusion" to fuse "Flame Wingman" with "Sparkman" in order to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman" (2500/2100) in Attack Position. Due to the first effect of "Shining Flare Wingman", it gains 300 ATK for each Elemental Hero in Jaden's Graveyard. There are four, so "Shining Flare Wingman" gains 1200 ATK ("Shining Flare Wingman": 2500 → 3700/2100).

"Shining Flare Wingman" attacks "Cephalotusnail", but the effect of "Cephalotusnail" prevents its destruction by battle and halves the damage Yuri takes (Yuri: 4000 → 2800 LP). Jaden Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Yuri**

Yuri draws. Yuri Normal Summons "Predaplant Lilizard" (1200/1200). Yuri then activates "Polymerization", fusing "Cephalotusnail" and "Lilizard" to Fusion Summon "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon" in Attack Position (2800/2000). Since "Starving Venom" was Fusion Summoned by only using monsters on the field as Fusion Materials, Yuri activates its effect, increasing the ATK of "Starving Venom" by the ATK of all Special Summoned monsters his opponents control (2800 → 6500). Yuri activates the other effect of "Starving Venom", which lets him negate the effects of an opponent's monster and have "Starving Venom" gain the same effects. He negates the effects of "Shining Flare Wingman" (3700 → 2500). "Starving Venom" attacks "Shining Flare Wingman", but Jaden activates his face-down "Hero Barrier" to negate the attack as he controls an "Elemental HERO" monster. Yuri Sets a card.

**Turn 4:****Jaden**

Jaden draws. Jaden activates "Mirage of Nightmare". Now during each of Titan's Standby Phases, Jaden can draw until he has four cards in his hand, but during each of his own Standby Phases, he must randomly discard the same number of cards he drew through this effect. "Shining Flare Wingman" attacks "Starving Venom", but Yuri activates "Predaprouting", preventing the destruction of "Starving Venom" and destroying "Shining Flare Wingman". Jaden Sets a card.

**Turn 5: Yuri**

Yuri draws. During Yuri's Standby Phase, Jaden draws four cards via the effect of "Mirage of Nightmare". Yuri activates "Ivy Bind Castle". While Yuri controls "Ivy Bind Castle", the effects of all cards Jaden controls will be negated and his monsters cannot attack. Yuri activates "Predapruning", which lets him Special Summon a "Predaplant" monster from his Graveyard and equip itself to the Summoned monster. He Special Summons "Lilizard" (1200/1200). The effect of "Lilyzard" activates as it was Special Summoned from the Graveyard, letting Yuri draw a card. "Lilizard" attacks Jaden directly (Jaden: 3500 → 2300 LP). Jaden activates his face-down "Emergency Provisions" to send "Mirage of Nightmare" to the Graveyard and gain 1000 LP (Jaden: 2300 → 3300 LP). "Starving Venom" attacks Jaden directly (Jaden: 3300 → 500 LP). Yuri Sets a card.

**Turn 6: Jaden**

Jaden draws "Take Over Five" and subsequently activates it by sending the top five cards of his Deck ("Elemental Hero Necroshade", "Elemental Hero Neos", "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird", "Necro Gardna" and "Hero Signal") to the Graveyard. While "Take Over Five" is in Jaden's Graveyard, he is immune to effects that send cards from his Deck to the Graveyard. Jaden then activates "Miracle Contact" to return "Elemental Hero Neos" and "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab" from his Graveyard to his Deck and Special Summon "Elemental Hero Air Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. Since Yuri has more Life Points than Jaden, "Air Neos" gains ATK equal to the difference due to its first effect ("Air Neos": 2500 → 4800/2000). "Air Neos" attacks "Starving Venom". Jaden then activates his face-down "Battle Fusion" to increase the ATK of "Air Neos" by the ATK of "Starving Venom" (4800 → 7600). Yuri activates his face-down "Ridiculing World", which increases the ATK of all monsters Yuya controls by 100, but prevents all monsters whose ATK is higher than their original ATK from attacking this turn ("Air Neos": 4800 → 4900). He then activates his face-down "Arms Hole" to send the top card of his Deck ("Necro Gardna") to the Graveyard and add "Instant Neo Space" from his Deck to his hand, however he won't be allowed to Normal Summon or Set any monsters this turn. Jaden then activates "Instant Neo Space" and equips the latter to "Air Neos". Now while "Air Neos" is equipped with "Instant Neo Space", "Storm Neos" does not have to activate its effect that would return it to Jaden's Fusion Deck during the End Phase. Jaden then activates "Damage Off Zone". Now all Battle Damage both players take will be halved.

**Turn 7: Yuri**

Yuri draws. He activates his face-down "Super Polymerization", which lets him discard a card to Fusion Summon a monster using Fusion Materials from either player's field. Yuri discards "Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra" and fuses "Starving Venom" and "Lilizard" on his field to Fusion Summon "Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon" (3300/2500) in Attack Position. Yuri activates the effect of "Greedy Venom" to reduce the ATK of an opponent's monster to 0 and negate its effects until the End Phase. He targets "Air Neos" ("Air Neos": 4800 → 0). "Greedy Venom" attacks and destroys "Air Neos", but Jaden activates the second effect of "Damage Off Zone" to halve his Life Points (Jaden 500 → 250) and reduce the Battle Damage he takes to 0 by sending "Damage Off Zone" to the Graveyard. Since "Air Neos" was removed from the field, the final effect of "Instant Neo Space" activates, allowing Jaden to Special Summon "Elemental Hero Neos" (2500/2000) from his Deck in Attack Position.

**Turn 8: Jaden**

Jaden draws. During Jaden's Standby Phase, he removes from play "Take Over Five" from his Graveyard in order to draw a card. Jaden then activates "Silent Doom" to revive "Sparkman" (1600/1400) in Defense Position. Jaden then switches "Neos" to Defense Position. Jaden Sets a card.

**Turn 9: Yuri**

Yuri draws. Yuri Normal Summons "Predaplant Moray Nepenthes" (1600/1000). Jaden activates his face-down "Alchemy Cycle" to reduce the ATK of all "Elemental Hero" monsters he controls to 0 ("Neos": 2500 → 0/3000; "Sparkman": 1600 → 0/1400) and prevent "Neos" from being destroyed by battle. "Moray Nepenthes" attacks and destroys "Sparkman". After damage calculation, "Alchemy Cycle" removes "Rainbow Neos" from play and allows Jaden to draw one card. Since "Moray Nepenthes" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, equipping itself with "Sparkman". "Greedy Venom" attacks and destroys "Neos". The second effect of "Alchemy Cycle" activates, allowing Jaden to draw another card. Yuri then activates the second effect of "Moray Nepenthes" to destroy the "Sparkman" equipped to itself and increase his LP by its ATK (Yuri: 2800 → 4400 LP).

**Turn 10: Jaden**

Jaden draws. Jaden then Normal Summons "Elemental Hero Clayman" (800/2000) in Defense Position. Jaden then Sets a card.

**Turn 11: Yuri**

Yuri draws. "Greedy Venom" attacks and destroys "Clayman". Jaden then activates his face-down "Hero Signal" to Special Summon "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" (800/1200) in Attack Position. Since Jaden summoned "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" while he had no other cards on his side of the field, its effect activates, letting Jaden draw two cards. "Moray Nepenthes" attacks and destroys "Bubbleman". Since "Moray Nepenthes" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, equipping itself with "Sparkman". Yuri then activates the second effect of "Moray Nepenthes" to destroy the "Bubbleman" equipped to itself and increase his LP by its ATK (Yuri: 4400 → 5200 LP). Yuri Sets a card.

**Turn 12: Jaden**

Jaden draws. Jaden then activates "The Warrior Returning Alive" to return "Neos" from his Graveyard to his hand. He then uses the effect of "Elemental HERO Necroshade" from his Graveyard in order to Normal Summon "Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position without Tributing. Jaden then equips "Neos" with "Neos Force", increasing its ATK by 800 ("Neos": 2500 → 3300/2000). Now if "Neos" destroys a monster in battle and sends it to the Graveyard, Lucien will take damage equal to the ATK of his destroyed monster. "Neos" attacks and destroys "Moray Nepenthes" (Yuri 5200 → 3500 LP). The effect of "Neos Force" activates (Yuri: 3500 → 1900 LP). "Neos" attacks "Greedy Venom". Both monsters are then destroyed in a Double KO. As a "Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon" was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Yuri activates the effect of "Predaplant Sarraceniant" granted by "Greedy Venom". He can banish that "Sarraceniant" from his Graveyard to Special Summon "Greedy Venom" from there. He does so and Special Summons it (3300/2500) in Attack Position. As a monster Special Summoned from his Extra Deck was destroyed Yuri activates his face-down "Extra Shave Reborn" to Special Summon an Extra Deck monster with a lower Level than the destroyed monster. He Special Summons "Starving Venom" (2800/2000) in Attack Position. Jaden Sets a card.

**Turn 13: Yuri**

Yuri draws. "Starving Venom" attacks Jaden directly, but Jaden activates his face-down "The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh" to Special Summon "Winged Kuriboh" (300/200) from his Deck in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Starving Venom" attacks and destroys "Winged Kuriboh". Since "Winged Kuriboh" was destroyed, the effect of "Sabatiel - The Philsopher's Stone" activates, allowing Jaden to add "Sabatiel - The Philsopher's Stone" from his Deck to his hand. Yuri Sets a card.

**Turn 14: Jaden**

Jaden draws. Jaden then activates "Sabatiel - The Philosopher's Stone" to pay half his Life Points (Jaden 250 → 125) and swap "Sabatiel" with the "O - Oversoul" in his Deck. Jaden then activates "O - Oversoul" to revive "Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. "Sabatiel" is added to Jaden's hand via its own effect after "O - Oversoul" resolves. Jaden then activates "Sabatiel - The Philosopher's Stone" to pay half his Life Points (Jaden 125 → 63) and swap "Sabatiel" with the "Contact Soul" in his Deck. Jaden activates "Contact Soul" to Special Summon "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" (900/300) from his Deck in Attack Position. "Sabatiel" is added to Jaden's hand via its own effect after "Contact Soul" resolves. Jaden then activates "Sabatiel - The Philosopher's Stone" to pay half his Life Points (Jaden 63 → 32) and swap "Sabatiel" with the "Monster Reborn" in his Deck. Jaden then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab" (500/500) in Attack Position. Jaden then Contact Fuses "Elemental Hero Neos" with "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" and "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab" in order to Special Summon "Elemental Hero Magma Neos" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Magma Neos", it gains 400 ATK for each card on the field. There are four ("Magma Neos": 3000 → 4600/2500). Yuri activates his face-down "Predaplant Reborn", which lets him Special Summon a "Predaplant" monster from his Graveyard. Yuri Special Summons "Predaplant Stapeliaworm" (100/2000). Since Jaden used the first effect of "Sabatiel" three times, Jaden activates the final effect of "Sabatiel - The Philosopher's Stone" to multiply the ATK of "Magma Neos" by the number of monsters Yuri controls. Yuri controls three ("Magma Neos": 4600 → 13800/2500). "Magma Neos" attacks and destroys "Starving Venom" (Yuri: 1900 → 0 LP).
