Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Chapter 028

Fusion Summon is the twenty-eighth chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. It was first printed in Japanese in the V Jump magazine and in English in the Shonen Jump magazine. Both of which were printed in volume 3 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX graphic novels afterwards.

Plot
Jaden Yuki notices that Bastion Misawa's traps prevent him from sending monsters from the graveyard unless he destroys them and from fusing them, and that while Bastion is bound by those effects, Gozuki can send monsters to the graveyard, and Mezuki can be removed to special summon monsters, whcih enables Bastion's yokai to become more powerful. Despite this, he realizes that the solution is to summon from his deck, and with a card combo, summosn Terra Firma and destroys Gozuki.

Bastion is frustrated by this turn of events, but realizes he must have faith in his deck, and remembers his resolve to be better than anyone, and to no longer lose and watch from the sidelines. He manages to seize the advantage with Fire Wagon, but Jaden counters with Gaia, defeating him and leaving him frustrated. As Jaden and Bastion exchange friendly banter, Zane Truesdale remarks on how skilled the freshmen duelists are, and wonders if Atticus Rhodes would agree.
