Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 162

Judai VS Asuka: face-down card of Hidden Emotions is the one hundred and sixty-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. The tag dueling tournament reaches his final match, as Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes against Tyranno Hassleberry and Blair Flannigan. Jaden and Alexis still are not working well together, and Blair activates a card allowing them to switch partners. Alexis struggles with her decision on what to do when after graduating and with her feelings for Jaden, which the latter seems oblivious to.

Summary
The final duel of the tag dueling tournament will be Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes from the senior block against Tyranno Hassleberry and Blair Flannigan from the junior block. Alexis comments that Jaden isn't enjoying dueling as he used. Jaden acts as if he hadn't noticed this Blair makes a last second adjustment to her Deck before the duel begins. Alexis plans to Summon "Cyber Prima" but misses the timing to activate "Prima Light" during her opponent's turn. When Jaden's turn comes, he Tributes "Cyber Tutu" once again not checking Alexis' Set card, unraveling her plans further. Jaden realizes that Alexis was right - he doesn't really enjoy dueling anymore, as his recent duels have all been life-or-death.

Alexis is finally fed up with Jaden's actions and tells him go on without her, as he obviously doesn't need her win, since he took control of all the previous duels without utilizing Alexis' cards or strategies. Blair activates her face-down "Partner Change", which allows her to switch sides with an opponent if they agree. Blair and Alexis switch partners. Hassleberry is disappointed that the concept of senior students against junior students is ruined, and Alexis angrily tells him they'll beat Jaden and Blair down until they can't get back up. Jaden seems to work much better with Blair, checking and using her face-down cards rather than ignoring them. Jaden comments it's been a long time since he and Alexis last dueled.

When Alexis activates "Doble Passé", Jaden comments that she used the same card during their first duel, and that it was his first real impression of her. Alexis responds that she thought that he was an interesting guy. Jaden states he's glad he was able to meet her. Satisfied that Jaden now realizes how he's been acting, Alexis activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy Blair's "Partner Change", causing them to switch back. However, they seem to be in a hopeless situation after Hassleberry Summons "Super Conductor Tyranno" and Alexis' turn comes. Jaden tells her to check his Set cards. Using them, Alexis and Jaden win the duel and the tournament. That night, as Jaden was about to return to his dormitory, he sees Alexis waiting for him. She tells Jaden she was glad to have met him, but it's heavily implied she wanted to confess that she had feelings for him. Jaden, oblivious to Alexis' emotions, thanks her for the duel and smiles at her the way he used to. A tear fell down Alexis' cheek as she watched Jaden go back to the dormitory.
