Ep. 46: Banner reveals his past and Jaden proves his strength to save his friends
Aired on August 17, 2005
Banner explains that he discovered Sacred Beast Cards long ago and inhaled a poison that crippled his body. He created a Homunculus to house his soul but requires the cards to survive. During the duel, Banner claims Jaden’s past matches were fixed, using Cosmo monsters to dominate. Jaden refuses to believe this and fuses four Hero monsters into Electrum to secure victory. As Banner disintegrates, he admits the duels were tests to prepare Jaden for the final battle against the Shadow riders leader. Before vanishing, Banner gives Jaden an ancient tome to assist him. His spirit is consumed by his cat, Pharaoh. Chazz, Alexis, and Atticus are released and return to their world.
