Recap / Yu Gi Oh GXS 1 E 8 For The Sake Of Syrus

• Graceful Loser:
  • First time Jaden loses, but is happy he was able to duel Zane, got a compliment from the big man on campus and simultaneously, some advice about playing your cards right.
  • Likewise, Zane is a good sport despite practically curb stomping Jaden.
• Idiot Ball: Syrus tries to escape Duel Academy in hopes Jaden will be assigned a new teammate for the tag duel. He does so with a raft despite not knowing how to swim.
• There's No Kill like Overkill: Downplayed, but Zane didn't need to summon a Power Bond summoned Cyber End Dragon to defeat Jaden. He could've just defused his Cyber Twin Dragon back to two Cyber Dragons, fuse them again with Power Bond to double its attack to 5600. With Cyber Twin Dragon's ability to attack twice in the same battle phase, the first attack could destroy Jaden's Mudballman (Defense 3000) leaving Jaden open to a direct attack from Cyber Twin Dragon's. Of course, Zane probably wanted to show off Cyber End Dragon and decided Jaden deserved to see it.
