Plot
After summoning Light and Darkness Dragon, Chazz Princeton declares that no matter how strong Bastion Misawa gets, he will still be stronger. Chazz defeats Bastion, who promises to defeat him and Jaden in the finals.

David Rabb searches the island for a card with a spirit, certain someone in the academy has one.
