Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Chapter 019

The First Round Ends is the nineteenth 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
Alexis Rhodes continues her duel with Reggie MacKenzie, but is unable to overcome her Splendid Venus monster. The two respect each other, though, and Alexis promises to make it to the finals. Reggie asks her if she knows about any spirit cards, and Alexis says she does not, but that Jaden Yuki might.

Jaden encounters David Rabb in the forest, but David refuses to duel with him, saying that he intends to gather as many duel points as he can, and that defeating a Slifer Red is not worth very much for points or challenge. He tells Jaden that if he wants to duel him, he should make it to the finals. Jaden, infuriated by David's dismissing him and disrespect for the color red, decides to make it to the finals. After some time, the preliminaries come to their conclusion.

 * Alexis (2200 LP) uses Soul Infusing Sculptor to turn her Pillar of Ice into a Frost Tiger (1900 ATK), then tributes both of them to summon Ice Queen (2900 ATK). Venus' effect reduces Ice Queen's Attack to 2400. Alexis equips Crown of Command on the Ice Queen, reducing Venus' attack to 2300. She attacks Venus with Ice Queen, but Reggie responds by using Light of the Master. Alexis tries to negate the card with Instant Freeze, but Venus' ability negates the card, and Light of the Master increases its ATK to 2600. Venus destroys Ice Queen and reduces Alexis' LP to 2000. As Alexis has no monsters on the field or any spell cards available, she is forced to concede defeat, as Venus could directly attack her in Reggie's turn.
