Aster quotes from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

You can't hide from destiny!

This is why you're a beginner and I'm a pro!

I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you, so wipe off that frown!

So what's your name, freshman?

You can call me A. P.

Alright Ap, let's throw down!!

Syrus

I can swear I've seen that guy before.

Alexis

You're right.

Chazz

Yeah, he does look familiar.

Hey Chazz, maybe he graduated from that snooty prep school of yours.

Syrus

Good call. He certainly looks rich enough... and stuck up enough.

Chazz

Look, shrimp, he's nothing like me!

[Off-screen] Ojama Yellow! Defense mode!!

Wow, so I guess it's true. You are good as they say!

Thanks for the props. But when you play cards like Ojama Yellow, you don't exactly make it too tough.

Chazz

[Smirks and leans next to Syrus] He's right.

What'd ya do? Take lessons from Chazz or something?

Jaden?

Hey bro. Grandpa, this is my good friend, Aster Phoenix.

I know. I follow professional dueling. I'm a big fan.

Who knew I had such old fans.

Like who?

Thanks, Aster!

For what? Get it straight, I'm going to Kaibaland for me, not you.

Well, believe it or not, I actually enjoy your company, bro!

Not this place!

What is it, Gramps?

Try reading the sign dude.

Ok... now what is it in English?

Before we get our game on, who's your partner?

She's been right here. Would you boys like to meet her? Surprise. [her reflection twin appears]

Give me a break. And I thought one was bad.

GAME ON!

Since we're in my world, I'll start! [draws] Now I summon, Sprit Ukyo! Then I'll lay a card facedown and play this! It's a spell card called, Full Moon Mirror.

He doesn't want revenge. I've been talking trash for the past ten minutes, and he still won't take the bait.

Syrus

Then what do you want, Zane?

Zane

Meet the new me. Thanks to duels like this, your brother was reborn.

Syrus

Uh, happy birthday?

Hold on! If that's true, then why did you adopt me?!

It's simple. The police would never suspect a generous man like me. And it worked! Thank you, "son".

GAME ON!

Sartorius

The first move is mine! [draws] I call Arcana Force III - The Empress!

Yikes! Be careful!

Sartorius

The special abilities of my Empress are determined by the position of the card once it stops.

Then stop!

Sartorius

Foolish boy. Destiny has already played this duel, and every move has been determined. Therefore, the card will stop right-side up.

How?

Sartorius

[cackles sinisterly] Haven't you learned by now? You're not in control. Destiny is! And since the Empress is right-side up, when you play a monster, I can summon another Arcana Force card! I'll conclude with this… one card facedown.

All right, it's all you. So get your game on!

Sounds good! [draws] I'll start with this… a Destiny Hero! [summons Diamond Dude in defense mode] Diamond Dude, you're on!

Sartorius

And thanks to my Empress card, I can play Arcana Force IV - The Emperor. Come forth in attack mode! Now let's see, what will his special ability be?

Let me guess… right-side up.

Sartorius

Well, of course, Aster. Therefore all my monsters receive a bonus. Now they're stronger by 500 points!

Sartorius

[as he sacrifices his Empress and Aster's Diamond Dude to summon Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon] How convenient. Another card lands right-side up. So I get a little gift during my stand-by phase. Looks like destiny has my back this time!

All right, Sartorius. Your monsters may outnumber mine, but you're forgetting one important detail!

Sartorius

Really? And what would that be?

That it's still my turn! So I send a card to the graveyard to activate Dunker's effect: the 500-point strike!

There ya go!

Syrus

He may have a shot at this after all.

Told ya.

Sartorius

Ready to lose and suffer? First, I activate Necro Sacrifice! So that means two monsters appear on your side, but don't get too excited because there's a downside. Once I remove these two monsters from my graveyard, I can summon one that's even more powerful to my side of the field! So I think I'll give you my Empress and Emperor. [the Empress and Emperor both now appear on Aster's side] And because I'm nice, you can choose their mode.

Fine. Defense mode!

Sartorius

How boring, but I'm not surprised.

If they're heads up, I get their abilities, but what if they're upside down?

Sartorius

You're about to find out!

Come on!

Sartorius

Can't you see? It's your destiny to fail, Aster! Since the Empress is upside down, each time a monster is summoned to my side, one of your cards goes to the graveyard! But there's more. Just look. The Emperor is upside down as well. Therefore both of your new monsters become 500 attack points weaker.

He can't catch a break! This is just plum ridiculous!

Syrus

Talk about bad luck.

Sartorius

And now, it's time you met the newest addition to my arsenal, for I can finally summon this card, my Arcana Force XV!

The Fiend!
