Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 071

Duel Fellas, known as '''VS Game Champ! Giant Battleship Tetran Takes Off''' in the Japanse version, is the seventy-first episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. Jaden Yuki is set up to duel Lorenzo, a Society of Light member and champion of the "shooting game".

Summary
Chazz Princeton speaks to Vice-Chancellor Bonaparte via cell phone. The latter says he can make The Society of Light's white dorm an official Duel Academy dorm, if someone from the Society can defeat Jaden Yuki, with the Slifer Red dorm's destruction at stake.

Chazz chooses Lorenzo, the former world champion of the "Shooting Game" to duel Jaden. Alexis Rhodes lures Jaden to a planetarium in the white dorm, where the duel takes place. Lorenzo plays a Boss Rush deck, and overpowers Jaden in the early stages of the duel. He later reveals that Sartorius offered to make Lorenzo a Pro League duelist if he could defeat Jaden. Ultimately, however, he loses.

As punishment, Sartorius suppresses Lorenzo's personality and dyes his hair white, giving him no autonomy of his own and putting him under complete Society control.
