Yu-gi-oh- Gx Episode 60

For collectors, this episode is famous for featuring the first playable appearance of the "Bonding" trap cards, which would later define the "Water Dragon" meme deck in the TCG.

In that moment of weakness, Bastion’s body rejects the Society of Light's control. He collapses, unconscious, but no longer brainwashed. He falls into the harbor below the duel arena. Jaden dives in to save him.
