He was hired by Crowler to try and eliminate Jaden. In the end, the real shadow game took control of Titan, and after Jaden won, Titan was sucked into the shadows. Now, Titan is back, and he is the sixth Assassin. Crowler feared that Titan was actually back because Crowler never paid him, but breathed a little sigh of relief when it is revealed that he is an Assassin. Titan does still play the demon deck. However, most of his monsters do not have the rolling stat ability anymore, and simply relies on their abilities and strength. Alexis took the challenge this time, and after some encouragement from her brother Fubuki, won the duel. |

Everybody she knew, including her family and friends, were hunted and destroyed by the people during Medieval Times, so she is back for revenge. She was put in a coffin and put into a deep sleep, for her own safety, and was awakened by the leader of the seven Assassins. Camilla defeats Crowler and Zane Truesdale. She uses a similar tactic as what Noah used against Kaiba: she had Syrus's soul in a monster that Zane was about to attack, thus forcing Kaiser to end his turn, and Camilla proceeds to win the duel. Both Crowler and Zane were put into miniature doll versions of themselves. Camilla tries to use the same tactic against Jaden, but it didn't work. Jaden got half an amulet in Episode 28, and the other half of it from Fubuki. It caused Camilla's magic to redirect back to herself, and Jaden proceeds to win. Zane and Crowler were released from the dolls. |

She fell in love with Bastion, and after sweet talking as well as amazing skill, defeats Bastion and makes him her bridegroom. In fact, if she lost, she would be Bastion's wife, so there really was no reason Bastion should have accepted in the first place. Taniya is very joyful, and like Jaden, enjoys dueling very much. She frequently erupts into fits of giggles and laughter, but she just does that because it is her. After Bastion becomes her bridegroom, Jaden challenges Taniya, and this time, they played a shadow game. Taniya still retains a joyful mood, much more joyful than Jaden was. Jaden manages to win, and free Bastion from being Taniya's bridegroom. |

He does steal from the rich, never hurt or kill anybody, and help the poor, but he does not help anybody when it comes to dueling. He masquerades himself as a detective set to help hide the actual keys. As it turns out, he was assigned the task of acquiring the physical keys two years ago, and sent a few people into the school and infiltrated it. No sooner had the seven keys been put somewhere that they were taken. Chazz takes a very long approach to solving the mystery, even though it was quite obvious from the start. Now that the physical keys are taken, it only needs the guardians to be defeated in a duel to have part of the door opened. Chazz takes the challenge, and using both the Armed Dragons he got from the North School, and the Ojama cards, he defeats the Black Scorpion Grave Robber group. They were playing a shadow game, though Chazz did not realize it, and the Black Scorpion Grave Robber group's souls gets sucked into a card. |

However, he realized that he kept winning because his opponents always lose on purpose, simply because Abidos the Third is the pharoah. Abidos joined the seven Assassins simply because he wanted to be part of a duel where the opponent actually tries to win. Abidos plays a Pharoah's servant deck, where the cards all relate to the pharoah, and they support a single monster, like Fubuki's deck did with Red Eyes Black Dragon. Using a few combos, Jaden wins the duel. Abidos enjoyed the duel immensely, and returns to heaven feeling at peace. Jaden promises that if Abidos waits 100 years, Jaden will go back to Abidos, and together, they will have an eternity to duel. |

Revision as of 13:26, 7 September 2005
Yu-Gi-Oh!, known in Japan as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX (遊☆戯☆王デュエル モンスターズGX Yūgiō Dyueru Monsutāzu GX) is an anime spinoff of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. In North America, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX will be distributed by Warner Bros. Television Animation and 4Kids Entertainment. GX stands for Generation neXt. Once again, the dubbed version of GX has inspired many fans' ire, this time by the apparently inappropriate naming of the characters.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX starts out with the lead character Jaden Yuki getting a card, Winged Kuriboh (Hane Kuribo), from Yugi Muto (Yugi Mutou in the English manga), the renowned Duel Monsters champion. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX follows the exploits of Jaden and another female character named Alexis Rhodes as Jaden goes to a duelist academy, named Duel Academy. The academy was created by Seto Kaiba on a remote island, with its dormitories named after the three Egyptian God Cards.
The most elaborate dorm, Obelisk Blue (オベリスク・ブルー Oberisuku Burū), is named after the God Card Obelisk the Tormentor a.k.a. The God of the Obelisk (Obelisk no Kyoshinhei (オベリスクの巨神兵), Kaiba's card. The dorm in the middle, Ra Yellow (ラー・イエロー Rā Ierō), is named after The Winged Dragon of Ra a.k.a. Sun Dragon Ra (Rā no Yoku Shin Ryū (ラーの翼神竜). The lowest quality dorm, Slifer Red (Osiris Red, オシリス・レッド Oshirisu Reddo in the Japanese version), is named after Slifer the Sky Dragon (Osiris no Tenkūryū (オシリスの天空竜 in the Japanese version), Yugi's card. The naming choices reflect Kaiba's grudge against Yugi for losing to him.
Produced by Nihon Ad Systems, Inc., or NAS for short, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX starts airing on TV Tokyo in Japan on October 6, 2004. The anime has been licensed by 4Kids Entertainment and is set to air in 2005 in North America.
The Three Demons
In the second season after episode 28 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, new 'god monsters' appear similar to the 'Egyptian God cards'. According to the legend, these three cards were sealed under Duel Academy (Duel Academia in the Japanese versions) for along time. They are sealed behind the Seven Star Gate which require seven keys to open. If the Demons are released to the ground, chaos will cover the world, destroying everything. Jaden and other students must protect the seven keys from 'Assassins', which are trying to open the seal.
