Event 26

While browsing at a Japanese bookstore in Tokyo last year, I stumbled upon

V Jump's official guide for the Yu-Gi-Oh GX Gameboy Advance game (which

wasn't even out in the U.S. at the time). "Free E-Hero Mudball Man!!" it

screamed on the cover. The following thoughts immediately crossed my mind:

* "Engrish" is alive and well in Japan

* I wonder if someone at Konami was inspired by the Beavis and Butthead

golf ball episode where Butthead noticed Beavis' muddy golf balls and said:

"Beavis, go wash your balls, they're filthy ".

* Why does this tiny book with only one free card cost 952 yen (about $9)

while V Jump's heftier Variable Book 8, which comes with two cards -- Bakura'

s Death Cavalier Knight and Yugi's Dragon of Destruction Gandora -- cost

only 857 yen?

Anyway, I figured this horribly named card might make a good collector's

item and more than pay for the price of the book someday so I decided to

get it.

And now that I just got the American version of the game, I finally started

reading the book and noticed it has a section about the game's 33 "Special

Events." I figured I might as well translate it so I can enjoy this game

a bit more.

I warn you, though: My Japanese isn't exactly great and I have barely started

the game, plus I have a Japanese guide but am playing the American version,

so the potential for mistakes is a bit high. I have yet to verify the majority

of these events to make sure I translated them right; I will go ahead and

indicate which events I've verified so far and, hopefully, update this guide

as I (or some of you) verify the others.

***Also, stuff and cards with names in [brackets] are those whose English

names I'm not sure about yet.

Comments, verifications and corrections may be sent to [ishingun@hotmail.com]

and I'll try to answer them when I have time (Don't expect a lightning fast

response since I'm quite busy. Put Yugi GX FAQ in the subject line to speed

up the process.)

For those who are interested in the book for some reason or -- gasp -- long

to get their dirty, little hands on E Hero Mudball Man (6-star fusion of

E Hero Bubbleman and E Hero Clayman, ATK 1900, DEF 3000, no effect except

making you snicker), the book is:

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Mezase Dueru Kingu!

(Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX: Awaken Duel King!)

Publisher: V-Jump Books

ISBN: 4-08-779342-7

If you're interested in the Variable Book 8 that I also mentioned, the ISBN

is 4-08-782099-8 (It's basically a catalogue of cards from Ancient Sanctuary

to Elemental Energy).

If you live in the U.S. and don't know anyone in Japan, just copy and paste

the info above via e-mail to one of the U.S. Kinokuniya branches and ask

them to special order the book/s for you.

Now on to the guide...

YU-GI-OH GX DUEL ACADEMY EVENTS

Event 6 UPDATE: Here's an e-mail I got from Dan

"I have just completed event 6: Pride Of The Elite, where you unlock cards

and chazz's (manjome's) e-mail. Unlike how your book might (have) mentioned,

when I did it, the event was basically the same as event 13 where you get

alexis's e-mail. You do get the rewards that were in your book, but you

have to duel chazz's 2 lackies before you can take him on, and you don't

get a choice to duel him or not. Also, for both events 6 and 13, you have

to duel 2 lackies before you take on alexis/chazz."

[1 in 3 chance event will trigger if you duel Sho (Syrus) in the morning]

Beat Sho (Syrus) in a duel after he summons his fusion monster Steam Gyroid.

This is actually like a timed duel where you must find out how to beat him

within 1 turn. You'll notice that you're actually using Jaden's deck. Summon

E Hero Thunder Giant, use his special ability to destroy Steam Gyroid, then

attack directly for the win. Sho will run away and Asuka (Alexis) will arrive

and talk to you about Sho and his brother Ryo (Zane). She will then ask

you to go to the Ocean at night. (You can still do whatever during the
