Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 034

The Fear Factor, known as '''The Excessive Heart of Traveler at Hot Spring! Blue Eyes White Dragon' in the Japanese version is the thirty-fourth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' anime.

Summary
Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, Chumley Huffington and Chazz Princeton were relaxing in a hot spring. It was a good time to just take a break, considering they've been busy watching out for Shadow Riders. As Chazz was relaxing, Ojama Yellow started talking to him and mentioned something about getting ready for a spirit festival. As for Jaden, he was thinking about his past Duels and his conclusion for the nightmare was because he was afraid of losing his friends, if he were to lose a Duel. All of a sudden, all four of the students were pulled into this bright piercing light, near the bottom of the spring. They woke up in a weird cavern that appeared to be underwater. They had their normal clothes back on and there were Duel Spirits all over the place. One of them approached the guys and told them to leave. Ojama Yellow recognized the spirit as Kaibaman, a monster that Seto Kaiba was rumored to have had made to be based on himself. Kaibaman challenged Jaden to a Duel, and if he loses, all of his friends have to stay in the spirit world forever. Believing Kaibaman to be a Shadow Rider, Jaden accepts.

Ultimately, Kaibaman defeats Jaden, but reveals that he was not a Shadow Rider, but Dueled Jaden in order to ease the latter's fears of losing.
