Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Chapter 014

The Deck is Passed On! is the fourteenth 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 2 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX graphic novels afterwards.

Plot
Jaden Yuki is confident that his defense-piercing Meteor Strike card has enabled him to defeat Koyo Hibiki, but Winged Kuriboh's ability prtoects him from damage, and Midori Hibiki reminds him that seemingly weak cards can potentially defeat stronger ones with their abilities. Koyo's heart reaches nearly critical condition as he draws one last card, but manages to summon Terra Firma and defeat Jaden.

Despite losing, Jaden enjoyed the duel, and decides to become a pro duelist. Koyo gives him his deck, saying that he is retiring, and tells him to always have fun when he duels. In the hospital room, Koyo confesses that he had hoped to defeat Midori in a duel, as he had never done so before, but that he is glad Jaden was his last opponent. As Midori leaves to get water for the flowers, Koyo suddenly feels weak, and remembers the shadow telling him that as he draws cards in real duels, his life energy will run out, but does not understand what he means because his memory was erased. As he slips into unconsciousness, he hopes he will have another fun duel with Jaden when he becomes a duelist.

Duel

 * Jaden (1000 LP) attacks Winged Kuriboh with the Meteor Strike-equipped Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2400 ATK). Winged Kuriboh's effect, however, negates the damage to Koyo.


 * Koyo (900 LP) draws a card. He activates A Hero Arrives, and pays half his life points to summon Stratos (1800 ATK). He uses Parallel World Fusion to fuse Woodman and Ocean to summon Terra Firma (2800 ATK). He sacrifices Stratos to activate Terra Firma's special ability and increase its attack to 4300. He uses its ability to destroy Thunder Giant and defeat Jaden.
