Card Appearances:Power Bond


 * Power Bond was given to Syrus Truesdale by Zane Truesdale. Syrus attempted to use it to summon Steam Gyroid in a flashback, but Zane interrupted the duel knowing Syrus' attack would be canceled by Spellbinding Circle and he would lose due to the damage Power Bond inflicts. As such Zane quickly gave a rare card to the bully to insure that he will not tell anyone about this Duel. Seeing how rare the card is, the bully accepts the deal. Since then Syrus has felt unworthy of playing it.


 * This card first appeared during Syrus's practice with Jaden. Syrus could have used Power Bond to summon Steam Gyroid while dueling Jaden, but felt unworthy to play the card, as Zane had so told him, and instead used Polymerization. This choice caused him to be defeated by Jaden. After the Duel, Jaden checked Syrus' hand and stated that if he had played this card, he would have won the Duel. Syrus states he couldn't do so due to Zane scolding him previously for foolishly trying to play this card in a duel.


 * Later Syrus in his room continues to look at this card and he continuously believes that this card will make him lose the Tag Duel for him and Jaden in many ways possible. Syrus as such decides to leave the academy but he is stopped by Jaden and Chumley before he can leave on a raft.


 * Disgusted by Syrus' attitude, Jaden dueled Zane, who used Power Bond during the duel. It was removed from play by the effect of "Different Dimension Capsule" and was later returned to Zane's hand on the last turn of the duel. Zane then used this card to fuse the two "Cyber Dragons" on the field with the one in his hand to Fusion Summon Cyber End Dragon. The latter then had its original ATK doubled as per this card's other effect. Zane then used "Cyber End Dragon" to destroy "Elemental HERO Mudballman" and defeat Jaden.


 * While dueling the Paradox Brothers Syrus gained the confidence to play Power Bond. He used it to fuse Jaden's Elemental Hero Tempest with his UFOroid so that he could Fusion Summon UFOroid Fighter. "UFOroid Fighter"'s effect then made its ATK 4000 (the combined original ATK of the Fusion Material Monsters used to summon it). This card's other effect then doubled this card's original ATK, making this card's ATK 8000. Syrus then has "UFOroid Fighter" attack "Dark Guardian". "Dark Guardian" was not destroyed because of its effect, but the brothers still took Battle Damage from the attack, causing Jaden and Syrus to win the duel.


 * Syrus tried to get Jaden to include Power Bond in his deck for Jaden's school duel against the at that point unknown North Academy representative.


 * Zane used Power Bond in his Duel against against Camula to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" into Cyber End Dragon. The latter's ATK is then doubled as per this card's other effect. When she activated Red Ghost Moon he was compelled to use De-Fusion to stop both Power Bond's last effect and Red Ghost Moon's effect from being activated.


 * Zane used Power Bond while dueling Jaden for the second time. He used it to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" into "Cyber End Dragon". "Cyber End Dragon" then had its ATK doubled as per the other effect of this card. A bit later Zane Tributed Cyber Kirin to avoid the damage that Power Bond would have inflicted to him. Zane later uses another copy to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" into "Cyber End Dragon" while also using "Cybernetic Fusion Support" to remove his three "Cyber Dragons" from play. "Cyber End Dragon" then had its ATK doubled as per the second effect of this card.


 * Before dueling Missy Syrus realized he was afraid of being left behind by others and that his unconfidence was crippling him, and gave Power Bond to Chazz to give to Jaden, in order to prove to himself and others that he didn't need to rely on others to win his duels for him. After Syrus defeated Missy, Jaden returned the card to Syrus.


 * Zane used this card during his duel with Aster Phoenix to fuse the two "Cyber Dragons" in his hand to summon Cyber Twin Dragon. This card then doubled "Cyber Twin Dragon"'s ATK. On Zane's End Phase, he took damage equal to the ATK of "Cyber Twin Dragon".


 * Zane used this card in his duel against Mad Dog. Zane uses this card to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon" while also using "Cybernetic Fusion Support" to remove his three "Cyber Dragons" from play. "Cyber End Dragon"'s ATK was then doubled as per this card's effect.


 * Zane used this card in a flashback during episode 83.


 * Syrus uses Power Bond during his duel with Zane. He uses this card to fuse his two "Cycroids" into "Pair Cycroid". This card's effect then doubled "Pair Cycroid"'s ATK. Before Syrus ends his turn, he activates "Mirror Damage" and equips it to "Pair Cycroid". On Syrus' End Phase this card inflicts damage to Syrus equal to the ATK of "Pair Cycroid", however "Mirror Damage"'s effect then activates redirecting the damage to Zane. Zane then uses "Fusion Guard" to nullify the damage.


 * When trying to save Syrus from a Doom Dozer, Zane uses Power Bond to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" to Fusion Summon Cyber End Dragon.


 * Zane uses this card in his duel against a Goblin Elite Attack Force soldier. He uses this card to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" to Fusion "Cyber End Dragon". Since this card did not inflict damage to Zane after his three "Cyber Dragons" attacked and after he uses this card, he mostly likely had already activated a card effect that would prevent him from taking the damage caused by this card's effect before he ended his turn.


 * Zane uses this card in his third duel against Jaden Yuki. He uses this card to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon". This card's effect then doubled "Cyber End Dragon"'s ATK.


 * Zane uses this card in his duel against the Yubel-possessed Jesse Anderson. He uses this card to fuse his three "Cyber Dragons" to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon". This card's effect then doubled "Cyber End Dragon"'s ATK. On the End Phase, this card's last effect inflicted damage to Zane equal to the original ATK of this card, defeating him.


 * Syrus used this card in his duel against Makoto Inotsume. He uses it to fuse his three Cyberdark monsters to Fusion Summon "Cyberdark Dragon". This card's effect then doubled "Cyberdark Dragon"'s ATK.


 * This card represents Syrus' dark future within the World of Darkness as shown by Yusuke.


 * When Jaden reaches out to the people trapped in the World of Darkness, Syrus hears his voice while in his dark future and then flips the top card of his Deck which is this card. Syrus realizes that what Jaden says is true as he hasn't carried anything out yet and therefore he should not be afraid of the future. When Syrus' unnamed opponent attempts to leave due to the Cyber Style Pro League not being very popular, Syrus tells his opponent to stop as he will make it even if the situation becomes very difficult for him. Syrus then promises his opponent that he will make this the best duel for both of them and that no matter what he will try his hardest to make his Cyber Style Pro League popular.


 * The damage inflicting effect of "Power Bond" apparently targets the Fusion Monster in the anime, allowing the damage to be avoided by playing cards such as "De-Fusion", which wouldn't work in the real game.
