Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Chapter 017

Chazz vs. Bastion is the seventeenth chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. It was first printed in Japanese in the V Jump magazine and in English in the Shonen Jump magazine. Both of which were printed in volume 2 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX graphic novels afterwards.

Plot
After defeating Syrus Truesdale, David Rabb derides how weak he is, and asks Zane Truesdale, who is watching nearby, if he agrees. He proposes dueling Zane, but Syrus stands up to defend him, and reminds Rabb that only the champion can duel Zane. Rabb leaves confident in his ability to win. Syrus tells Zane that he will win the tournament and faces him as a duelist, and Zane thinks that he will wait to face him as a duelist.

Meanwhile, Chazz and Bastion are dueling. Chazz gains the upper hand with stronger draws, but worries about what he is planning with his face-down cards. He then remembers his desire to prove that he is strong as a duelist, and tries to attack Chazz. Bastion, however, puts reverse cards to good use, and manages to destroy Chazz's monsters and summon the powerful Nine-Tailed Fox. Bastion then recalls that having competed in tournaments with Chazz, but never being able to win against him, knows how strong he is, and vows to defeat him and advance himself as a duelist. Chazz becomes desperate, but knows that he cannot lose until he faces Jaden again, and calling upon his partner to fight alongside him again, summons Light and Darkness Dragon.
