Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 076

Taken by Storm, Part 2, known as '''Ultimate Alliance! Rex Union!' in the Japanese version, is the seventy-sixth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' anime.

Summary
Jaden Yuki locates Solomon Muto and also meets up with Aster Phoenix. Seeing the hologram of Tyranno Hassleberry's "Dark Tyranno" on top of a building, they determine that he and Syrus Truesdale must be there. At the Duel, Frost and Thunder begin to argue, while Syrus and Hassleberry begin to function more as a team. They play off each other's card's quite well, as they were able to see each other's hand via the reflections of their opponent's "Reflector Bits". Hassleberry puts the Duel at a standstill by playing "Jurassic Impact", and Syrus restores their Life Points with "Ring of Life". Combiniing Hassleberry's "Super Conductor Tyranno" with his "Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union", Syrus seems to have the Duel won. However, Frost activates "Mirror of Duality", taking out Syrus, Hassleberry and his own partner in order to win. He then finds Jaden, and wishes to take him to see Sarina, who Aster recognizes as Sartorius' younger sister.

Hassleberry's turn

 * Activates "Card of Reversal", drawing cards equal to the number of face-up cards Frost controls as he himself controls no other cards and has no cards in his hand. Thus, he draws four cards.
 * Summons "Element Saurus" (1000/700) in Defense Position. Frost activates his face-down "Mobius Glacier" All Attack Position Dinosaur, Plant, Winged Beast, Beast-Warrior and Beast-type monsters must be Summoned in Attack Position and may not declare an attack.

Syrus' turn

 * Summons "Stealthroid" (1200/0) in Attack Position.

 * Attacks "Element Saurus" with "Stealthroid" (Syrus 1100 → 600, Hassleberry 800 → 600). The latter gains 300 attack and its effect destroys "Mobius Glacier". Hassleberry activates his face-down "Counterattack!" and attacks "Stealthroid" with "Element Saurus" (Hassleberry 600 → 100). "Stealthroid's" effect destroys "Rampage Condenser".

Featured cards
The following cards appeared in this episode. Cards in italics debuted here.

Errors

 * In the dub, when "Element Saurus" is switched to Attack Position via "Mobius Glacier" and has 500 ATK shaved off via "Mobius Castle," "DEF" was incorrectly displayed, albeit the actual ATK number was shown correctly.
 * In the dub, after "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch" attacked Syrus directly, we see a shot of Hassleberry's Duel Disk. It incorrectly shows the anime artwork of "Black Tyranno" as it had been destroyed on Frost's previous turn by "Mobius the Frost Monarch," moreover, as Hassleberry had a different monster on his field ("Element Saurus,") that monster should have been seen instead.
