My theory is since he looked rather happy in my memories of Skyscraper, Gerard actually had a HERO deck himself, but since it was responsible for him quitting dueling, the field spell backfired on him somehow, by something like the opponent playing something that destroyed Spell cards and burning him, like Spell Shattering Arrow or Fairy Wind.

Bubbleman's effect in the anime is more op than the real thing, in the anime when you summon Bubbleman, if its the only card in the field you get 2 cards. The card in real life only lets you draw 2 cards if its the only card in your field and hand. Also, Skyscraper in the anime gives all elementals 1000 attack if their attack is fewer than the opposing monsters, Skyscraper from the real card game only gives 1000 attack point boost to elementals with fewer attack points than opposing monster,and that boost only works in your battle phase.

Yeah bubbleman being destroyed by water looked a little weird

[@dendion711]

15:40 he missplayed. If he had destroyed the Field Spell first and then attack Clayman, he would have won.

[@remini255]

Last magnet would’ve also returned to the hand making his monsters atk 0. However had he used Last magnet on clayman it would only have 1000 atk when it battles.

I remember watching this back in the day when id watch anime being going to school. When the previous episode aired and saw Jaiden lose his Polymerization card to his trap, I was so blown away because id have to wait till the next day to find out what happened. This series seriously got dark from season three onwards.

Yo the soundtrack is so damn funky 💯

In the GX I really love how everyone is sided with always Jaden like Bastion is from another academy or their one of the worst enemy or something... chill lol he is also your friend...

[@darkerdaemon7794]

I've been playing a lot of GX academy lately on rom, and I never really got into yugioh when I was younger, but it's crazy how closely this anime follows the game, or vice versa. The game centers around these characters and the duel academy, their actual decks are used in the game, and for me, the most annoying duelist has to be the headmaster. He uses flip effect cards like maneater bug, penguin soldier, and hane hane. Which for my ritual deck is annoying. There's nothing worst than tributing 8 level monsters to summon one 8 star that then gets returned to my hand, or ob!iterated, after an monsters flip effect. I guess it's good I use several rituals and ritual monsters, but none of these guys are that hard to fight. Jaden for example, just use a decent amount of spell destroying spells and traps and he's a piece of cake. Zane is pretty tough but it's essentially the same strategy as jaden, only, zane his powerbond limiter removal combo is deadly if he uses it on cyberend dragon. However, only one trap, like an sakuretsu armor, can change that too.

Imagine creating a deck specifically to counter someone, and you still lose

"But he can handle the pressure, in fact, he thrives on it" i dunno why but that sounded bad@$$

15:25 if he just attacked Clayman during this turn, Jaden would lose right there.

It was also brought up in the manga. Though I think the card was torn up by the original owner.

[@aros0018]

I feel like there's some irony in the difference between Jaden and Bastion's duel in the anime vs. their duel in the manga spin-off that came years later. In both Bastion came up with a strategy to keep Jaden from using fusions, but in the anime Bastion only keeps Jaden from using specifically Polymerization. Jaden could still have used Fusion Gate or other fusion cards. In the manga, Bastion used cards that prevented Jaden from sending cards from the hand and/or field to the graveyard by methods other than battle, effectively locking down the majority of ways to fuse monsters. So, in the anime, Jaden has many ways he can still fusion summon but wins without it, while in the manga Jaden has almost no ways of fusion summoning but still wins by fusion summoning, just not with monsters in his hand or field.

[@mitchellreynolds1277]

If Bastion played ‘A wing beat of giant dragon’ before attacking, he would have destroyed skyscraper, and therefore removed the attack point bonus it gives (which in the anime, is a constant effect) he would have won. He could have attacked clayman with litmus swordsman and that would have reduced Jaden’s life points to 0. But hey, the main character can’t lose, right 😂

[@Zeradias090]

He cant, if he did that is Litmus swordsman would have 0 atk points, because it gains 3000 as long as a trap card is on the field, if he did activate wingbeat he would have destroyed the trap card that he equipped to blade edge,so is swordsman would have gone back to 0
