Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 150

"The Ultimate Face-Off, Part 2", known as "Summon "Yubel"!" in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and fiftieth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on August 29, 2007 and in the US on June 26, 2008.

Summary
Jaden Yuki's small group continues towards Yubel's tower, as Yubel, still possessing Jesse Anderson, continues her Duel with Adrian Gecko. Having foiled Adrian's strategy to win using "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", Adrian attempts to gather the Exodia pieces back to his hand with "Fog King". He successfully destroys "Chaos Phantasm Armityle" and Jesse is forced to play a more defense-oriented strategy. Attempting to get in Adrian's head, Yubel remarks that there was no point in sacrificing Echo - Adrian seems to be just as powerful as Yubel even without Exodia.

Jaden's group reaches the tower and enters - but there is no path to go any further. Jaden yells to Yubel, stating he's ready for her. From the edge, rainbow-colored bubbles begin to fly up, showing Jaden memories of those he's met in this world. In addition, he again has a flashback to his Duel with Osamu. A bridge then appears, and they able to journey deeper into the tower. Back at the Duel, Yubel claims Adrian must not have loved Echo. In the English version, she claims this is because he sacrificed her and says that both herself and Echo were betrayed by their closest friends. In the Japanese version, she claims it was not love, as only Amon hurt Echo - Echo never hurt him in return, again referencing Yubel's definition of love being a form of sadomachoism.

Yubel is worried, as she entered this Duel to restore her strength by absorbing Adrian's darkness of heart, yet she is losing and simply taking more damage. Adrian claims he has no darkness - he wishes to build an ideal world when he becomes King - one free of poverty, suffering, envy, jealousy and pain. Yubel responds that she wouldn't want to live in a world like that - and wishes to build her own where she can rule over with "her beloved Judai". Yubel successfully foils Adrian's Exodia strategy again, with Adrian again having yet another backup prepared to revive it. When Adrian Sets "Backup Soldier", Yubel finally senses darkness in the heart - that of Echo's spirit, still trying to protect Adrian. With one Exodia piece in his hand, and one on top of his Deck, Adrian will win after activating it, as "Backup Soldier" would place three Exodia pieces from the Graveyard into his hand.

Yubel Summons herself and is able to exploit the darkness in Echo's heart and win the Duel by attacking the "Torch Golem" she had Summoned to Adrian's field. Her own effect makes Adrian take the damage. Yubel, her energy restored, sits back in her throne and awaits Jaden's arrival.

Jesse's turn

 * Activates "Akashic Record", drawing two cards. Neither have been played during the Duel, so he keeps them.

During his next Standby Phase he can send the card picked that turn to the Graveyard and Set another card. Also, if he activates that card and if the requirements are not met, he has to discard his hand and destroy all cards on his field.
 * Summons "Grave Squirmer" (0/0) in Attack Position.
 * Attacks "Fog King" (Jesse 100), activating "Grave Squirmer's" effect, destroying "Royal Sword" (The effect isn't negated by Fog King since Grave Squirmer's effect did not activate while it was on the field).
 * Adrian activates "Crest Burn" to place Beacon Counters on "Fog Castle" equal to the number of Crest Counters "Royal Sword" had when it was destroyed, so "Fog Castle" now has five Beacon Counters.
