Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 130

"Unleashing the Dragon, Part 2", known as "The Awakening of the Rainbow Dragon" in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and thirtieth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on April 4, 2007 and in the US on November 27, 2007.

Summary
Jesse Anderson joins the Duel between Jaden Yuki and Marcel Bonaparte as Jaden's partner, while Marcel gains 4000 Life Points. Jesse's presence angers the Devil Arm and when Jesse says he'll protect Jaden because they are best friends, the demon asks when he gave permission for Jesse to be Jaden's best friend, stating that it's been Jaden's best friend for years. Jesse then plays "Rainbow Dragon" in order to protect Jaden from the Sacred Beast that were summoned to defeat him. During the Duel, Blair Flannigan attempts to stop an attack from hitting Jaden and Jesse. The demon leaves Marcel's body, stating it's gathered enough Duel Energy to completely restore it's own body.

The demon reveals itself as Yubel, the spirit of a card that Jaden had as a child. Several flashbacks occur as Jaden remembers a friend of his collapsing when he played the card. Jesse has Rainbow Dragon battle Yubel's "Armityle the Chaos Phantom", and both monsters are destroyed, with them both taking 10,000 damage, leaving Jaden the victor.

Duel Academy returns to Earth and everyone makes it back safely—with the exceptions of Yubel, Jesse and Adrian Gecko. The former two are seen disappearing in the energy of "Rainbow Dragon's" attack.

Featured Duel
Duel continues from the previous episode''.

Jesse's turn

 * Activates "Crystal Tree". As long as this card is face-up on the field, it will gain a Crystal Counter when Jesse places a "Crystal Beast" in his Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card. If Jesse sends "Crystal Tree" to the Graveyard he can place Crystal Beasts from his Deck into his Spell & Trap Card Zone as Continuous Spell Cards equal to the number of Crystal Counters on "Crystal Tree".
 * Summons "Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth" (1700/1600).
 * Attacks "Phantom of Chaos", but Marcel activates his face-down "Chaos Form", equipping it to his monster. This selects one random monster in his Graveyard, and the equipped monster gains its ATK and DEF. He selects "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms".
 * Activates "Crystal Flash", taking "Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle" from his hand and placing it in his Spell & Trap Card Zone to negate his own attack.
 * Since a "Crystal Beast" was placed in the Spell & Trap Card Zone, "Crystal Tree" gains a Crystal Counter.

Jaden's turn

 * Summons "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" (800/1200), activating it's effect to draw two cards.
 * Activates "Polymerization", fusing "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" with the "Elemental Hero Avian" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Mariner" (1400/1000) in Attack Position.
 * Sets a card.
 * With a card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone, "Mariner" is permitted to attack directly (Marcel 6600).

 * Activates "Dark Summoning Beast's" effect, Tributing it to Special Summon "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" (0/0), and "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" (4000/4000) in Attack Position and "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" (4000/4000) in Defense Position from his Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning Conditions.
 * "Uria's" effect increases its attack by 1000 due to the Continuous Trap Card ("Chaos Form") in Marcel's Graveyard (1000/0).

Jesse's turn

 * Switches "Amber Mammoth" to Defense Position.
 * Summons "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" (1800/1200) in Defense Position. This activates it's effect, so "Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle" is placed from his Deck in his Spell & Trap Card Zone, which also places another counter on "Crystal Tree".
 * "Raviel's" effect activates, allowing Marcel to Summon a "Phantasm Token" (1000/1000).
 * Activates "Rare Value", letting Jesse draw two cards by sending a "Crystal Beast" to the Graveyard. He chooses "Ruby Carbuncle".
 * Activates "Rainbow's Blessing". This lets him pay intervals of 1000 Life Points, and allows him to place on counter on "Crystal Tree" for every 1000 points paid. He pays 1000 points, thus placing one counter on "Crystal Tree" (Jesse 3000).
 * Sends "Crystal Tree" to the Graveyard using it's own effect, and allowing him to place a number of Crystal Beasts from his Deck into his Spell & Trap Card Zone equal to the amount of counters "Crystal Tree" accumulated. He places "Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat", "Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise" and "Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger".
 * Special Summons "Rainbow Dragon" (4000/0) from his hand, since he has all seven Crystal Beasts either on his field or in his Graveyard.
 * "Raviel's" effect activates, allowing Marcel to Summon a "Phantasm Token."
 * Attacks "Uria" with "Rainbow Dragon", but "Hamon's" effect redirects the attack to it. Neither monster is destroyed.
