Ep 44. The Seventh Shadow Rider

Jaden and his friends are excited to see the school's new attraction, the Spirit Gates. However, when they arrive, they find that the gates are guarded by a new Shadow Rider named Nightshroud. Nightshroud challenges Jaden to a duel, and Jaden eagerly accepts, hoping to defeat another Shadow Rider.

During the duel, Nightshroud reveals that he is the seventh Shadow Rider and that he intends to use the power of the Spirit World to bring about a new era of darkness. Jaden is determined to stop him, but Nightshroud's deck is filled with powerful Shadow monsters that seem almost unbeatable.

As the duel progresses, Jaden begins to feel a strange power building inside him. He realizes that he has awakened his own Shadow powers, and he uses them to turn the tide of the duel. With the help of his friends' support and his newfound abilities, Jaden manages to defeat Nightshroud and destroy the Spirit Gates.

After the duel, Nightshroud disappears, leaving behind a cryptic message about the ultimate power of darkness. Jaden and his friends are left wondering what his true intentions were, and whether he will return to threaten them again in the future. Despite the uncertainty, Jaden knows that he is one step closer to becoming a true Duelist and mastering his own Shadow powers.
