Sheppard Vs. Hell Zane

9.0

By opticlust, Dec 14, 2006

This episode was good, but I didn't find it all that interesting, it was way too serious, unlike all the episodes. We finally see Hell Zanes outfit, which is just all black.

Later on, while in a limo, Hell Zane fires Mr. Shroud. Zane then pays a visit to his former Chancellor, Sheppard. He is searching for another card that's linked to the Cyber-style.

Sheppard loses the duel and Zane finds the deck that he is looking for. In the end, the former chancellor gives Zane a medal, which is a ticket to enter a duel tournament that Sheppard has created.moreless

I liked this episode a lot more than last weeks, Bastion vs Chazz. I like the cards that were used and personally like Zane's cyber deck. Last weeks episode really had me thinking about still watching this show, but this week has destroyed that thought. The duel was great. The cards were great. Everything about it was great! We are introduced to a new tournament as well which was exciting. Hopefully more episodes will continue to stay like this and not like Magnetic Personality. Overall, I think it was a great episode that really showed the emotion of each duelist. Great!moreless

Wow, I never expected that Chancellor Sheppard is such a good duelist. But of cource Zane is always the best. I wonder what cards are in that sealed deck. Maybe ... Cyber End Dragon of Darkness or maybe a another Cyber End Dragon, but of course the word "End" will mean the end of the world =D. But unfortunately, I don't know japanese, so I can't understand completely what happened it this episode, I also wonder what does that Cyber Ogre do? Well, I hope the dubbed or subbed version of this episode will appear soon. And I want to say this one more time- Zane is the best!moreless

At the beginning of this episode, Syrus, is still worrying about how his brother, Zane, has become into a "monster". Soon enough we cut to Zane's duel in the Kaiba Dome, witnessing his obvious victory against some loser duelist (Actually, we get a nostalgia feeling when we see some old cards, like SwordStalker, Vorse Raider, et cetera). Anyway, Zane wins the duel with his Cyber End Dragon attacking his opponent's LP directly with Eternal Evolution Burst (Super Strident Blaze in the dub). Moments after his victory, Zane abandons his promoter, the same one who offers him to regain his glory. Later that night, apparently "Hell Kaiser" travels to some mountains by plane (Almost similar to Batman Begins style), and confronts his old master of the "Cyber-Style" duel, who is none other than Chancellor Sheppard, the former principal of the Duel Academy. After removing his mountain climbing uniform, he prepares for a duel... (Note: He wear his Kaiba-style black duster underneath his mountain climbing clothing, yet doesn\'t appear to be sweating?)Both the two student and teacher immediately battle(Shockingly, Zane doesn't use Chimeratech Over Dragon in this duel, weird...). Despite Sheppard's efforts to counter Zane's attacks and dueling prowess, the teacher is ultimately beaten by the student in a surprising defeat, as "Hell Kaiser" Zane disrespects his own Cyber End Dragon by destroying it with Sheppard\'s very own monster, Cyber Ogre 2. After defeating his former teacher, Zane takes his prize, the sealed powerful deck, "Cyber Dragon Under Deck", the opposite of his own deck. The episode ends with Sheppard giving his student a medal, which is gonna be used to allow him entry in Sheppard\'s Duel World Cup, and when Syrus, back at the Academy, says "Honorable Older Brother".moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (8)
ADD TRIVIA
- When Zane plays Limiter Removal on Cyber Ogre 2, its attack points are shown as 8200, not 9200, like it is supposed to be.
  EDIT SHARE
- When sacrificing Cyber Barrier Dragon to activate Ruthless Denial, Zane says he sacrifices Cyber Laser Dragon, but his Laser Dragon was destroyed and the only monster on Zane's field was his Barrier Dragon. Plus when his monster was being sacrificed the monster shown was clearly Cyber Barrier Dragon.
  EDIT SHARE
- Chancellor Sheppard runs a deck based on the card, Cyber Ogre.
  EDIT SHARE
- If you look closely at Zane's trap card, Lost Pride, the person depicted in the image of the card somewhat resembles Zane. This represents Zane's rebirth and his lost sense of pride.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the first time we see Sheppard duel.
  EDIT SHARE
- In this episode, Mr. Shroud, Zane's sponsor, has been fired.
  EDIT SHARE
- According to Sheppard, Zane is the heir to the Cyber Legacy.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Zane used Cyber Laser Dragon's effect he says he can destroy a monster with an attack equal to or less than his Cyber Laser Dragon's attack. If this were true, Zane couldn't have destroyed Sheppard's Cyber Ogre which had 4000 attack points at the time and if this was true, then in the episode where Zane dueled Camilla, Zane couldn't have destroyed her Vampire Genisis because her Vampire Genisis had 3000 attack points.

- Shroud: Didn't I tell you, Zane? Stick with me, and you'll have it all.
  Zane: That's true. But now that I have evrything that I want, we're done. So I won't be needing you anymore.
  Shroud: What are you saying?
  Zane: That this is your stop! (throwing him from the limo) You're fired, Shroud!
  EDIT SHARE
- (when Zane and Sheppard start the duel)
  Sheppard: Get your game on! You kids do still use that phrase, right?
  EDIT SHARE
- (After Zane uses Cyber Ogre 2 to attack Cyber End Dragon)
  Sheppard: What've you done? You and that dragon shared a special bond.
  Zane: We still do, I can hear its spirit right now, screaming for mercy, and guess what? I don't really care.
  EDIT SHARE
- Syrus: What's happened to you Zane? I mean sure, you were never Mr. Personality, but anything's better than this. Poor guy.
  EDIT SHARE
- Zane: This is sounding like a lecture, and I told you I don't have the time! I'm here for one reason, and one reason only, to get what is coming to me!
