Character storylines[]

Jaden's (Fused with Yubel or Neo Jaden) Story

  • First Heart: Jaden has a flashback of him being the Supreme King and you are in Axel's place to defeat him. Jaden won't help you since he's the Supreme King.
  • Second Heart: In a flashback you duel with Jaden against Adrian Gecko and Yubel.
  • Third Heart: Sheppard tells you to meet someone at the Volcano. Once there you discover Sartorius, but Trueman interrupts, demanding a duel with you and Jaden.
  • Fourth Heart: After a conversation with Jesse at the Harbor, you go to the main gate with him and Jaden. Unfortunately Atticus loses to Fujiwara in a duel, meaning you and Jaden have to team up and take on both Fujiwara and Atticus as Nightshroud.

Jaden's (Normal) Story

  • First Heart: Syrus plans to have a special class with the Slifer Red students and Bastion Misawa from Ra Yellow being their teacher. Syrus thinks he's going to repeat a year so he duels you and Jaden along with KENYoU with you and Jaden's graduation on the line.
  • Second Heart: The professors don't want all the 3rd year students to graduate, so you and Jaden duel Wade and Dean with your graduation on the line.

  • Fourth Heart: The professors are still against the graduation, especially Dr. Crowler. You and Jaden must duel Blair and Hassleberry with all of the students' graduation on the line.

Syrus' Story (Obelisk Blue) Syrus in this adventure focuses more upon dueling other students than his friends, reminding everyone about the need to respect the opponent, as Zane taught him.

  • Fourth Heart: At the Duel Field you and Syrus tag duel against Jaden and Dark Zane in the exam duel.

Syrus' Story (Ra Yellow and Slifer Red) This Syrus, in contrast to the one above, is one that never grew as a duelist or as a person; he lacks confidence, and has no respect either for himself or for others as duelists, childishly demanding the other party buying sandwiches for him and hiding behind the player character like a shield.

  • Second Heart: You and Syrus tag-duel against Seydina and Pablo.
  • Third Heart: You and Syrus tag-duel against Hassleberry and Chumley.

Chazz' Story (Obelisk Blue) This Chazz is who he was at the beginning of the first season—even more arrogant and elitist than usual. His goal throughout this adventure is to take over the school's administration and force out all underperforming students to make it an elite academy. It concludes with him successful, standing at the side of his two older brothers, while the rest of the campus despairs.

  • Second Heart: Zane has a flashback again about Atticus causing him trouble when he wants Zane to accept the fact that Blair has feelings for him, so Atticus and Blair duels you and Zane in a tag duel.

  • Fourth Heart: Atticus and Jaden duel against you and Blair at the Harbour's lighthouse after Blair invites Jaden there to tell him something, but is interrupted by Atticus.

Blair's Story (Obelisk Blue)

  • First Heart: At the Obelisk Blue Boys Dorm Blair is after a yearbook photo from Alexis and Tyranno, but first she agrees to duel them in a Tag-Duel with your assistance, because of nostalgia.

  • Third Heart: You have to duel Professor Wade to give her time to hide her girlish things.

  • Third Heart: There is a Graduation Test at the Duel Field and Atticus and Jaden are your opponents.
  • Fourth Heart: Alexis will ask you to come to the lighthouse at the Harbor and then challenge you to a duel. After the duel she will tell you something important.

Alexis' Story (Angry) -- This Alexis is much more hostile in general, and never fails to mention how she thinks the player character is a slacker at every opportunity, even when complimenting him. Her Deck is based around her Society of Light version's Ice Deck, and her goal is to shape up the player character and get rid of all the "slackers" at the school.

  • First Heart: Atticus is at the root of the "slacker problem" in Duel Academy, and Alexis plans to shape him up. First, you have to beat his right wing: Jasmine and Mindy.
  • Second Heart: Now it's time for his left wing: You duel Fonda Fontaine and passer-by Blair.
  • Third Heart: The root is the Slifer Red dorm! So you duel Jaden and Tyranno to make Jaden leave.
  • Fourth Heart: The final fight: You duel Atticus and Chazz, with Atticus's future on the line.

Bastion's Story

  • First Heart: You and Bastion tag-duel against Jim and Tyranno.
  • Second Heart: You and Bastion tag-duel against two Jinzos from the different dimension.
  • Third Heart: You and Bastion tag-duel against Trueman.
  • Fourth Heart: You and Bastion tag-duel against Rune and Ray in the exam duel.

Bastion concludes the adventure with the statement that although he is often forgotten by others, he will continue to fight for what is right, and be an "invisible protector" of the world.

Bastion's Story (Excited) This adventure is a parody of Neo-Jaden's story arc above, with Bastion proclaiming himself to be a defender of truth and justice, hounded by fans at all times (in contrast to how things usually are, where most people keep forgetting he's there). In fact, at one point he expresses a wish that some people would forget him. The closing illustration for this adventure is identical to Jaden's, and Bastion's Deck happens to be classic Elemental Hero Fusion Monster-based, just like Jaden.

  • First Heart: Bastion has a flashback to his final duel against Kagemaru at the Special Finals Arena (parody of the same event in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force). You and Bastion tag-duel against Kagemaru and Titan.
  • Second Heart: Bastion has a flashback where the two of you encountered Sartorius and Sarina (parody of Aster Phoenix's eighth event in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2 You and Bastion tag-duel against Sartorius and Sarina.
  • Third Heart: You and Bastion tag-duel against Professor Viper and Axel.
  • Fourth Heart: The last storypart is the same like Jaden's: You and Bastion tag-duel against Fujiwara and Nightshroud.

Booster Packs[]

Bugs[]

  • A minor lag seldom occurs during your opponent's turn. This could be due to the revisions that have been made with regards to the decision-making processes of the AI, coupled with the fact that the amount of memory stored on the game's UMD is a colossal amount due to the large card pool. However, this lag is enough to really disrupt the flow of the game to the point of almost irritating, like when there is a large number of cards on the field. Despite all the lags, the game can be played normally.
  • "F.G.D" seems to have a different effect in-game (although it is not written in its effect text). While your opponent controls it, all Dragon-Type monsters on its side of the field can pierce through Defense Position monsters, and Spell or Trap Cards cannot be activated when it attacks. This does not apply to Tokens.
  • Dragon's Rage will make all your dragons do piercing damage just by being set on the field, you don't even need to activate it.
  • Selecting Jaden's alter ego The Supreme King in Story Mode is not possible because the developers never got around to complete the game data to make him accessible.
  • "Plant Food Chain's" second effect (Special Summon a Plant-Type monster from the Graveyard if the card is destroyed by a card effect when equipped) can be activated whether or not the Trap has been activated and equipped to an appropriate monster.
  • In events involving The Supreme King, he is often accidentally referred to as "the The Supreme King".
  • "No Entry!!" misspells the word "monsters" to "montsers".
  • if Lava Golem is the only monster in your GY, and your opponent has monsters in their GY, you're erroneously able to special-summon Lava Golem with The Shallow Grave, ignoring Lava Golem's special summoning requirements.

Availability[]

  • The game does not currently have a release date in the US, the game is region-free and therefore any of the imports can be played on any PSP. It is for that reason that many people in the US have ordered the UK version.
  • However, according to GameFAQs, the game was scheduled to be released in America in 2010, but it still has not been released.
