The True Power of the "Seal of Oreichalcos".

• Althoguth Grimo has managed to Summon Obelisk, he seems to experience headaches and bad vision. The 3 Swordsmen,looking at it, wonder if they can really control the Gods even with this power: it's obvious that Obelisk's mere presence is putting a lot of strain on Grimo.
  • With his "Brave Attack" Spell Card, Yami manages to beat Obelisk.
    • However, things quickly change as Grimo pulls a combo which quickly fills his Field with no less than 7 Monsters.
      • Jounouchi protests that this ought to be illegal, since there are only 5 Monster Card Zone slots. One of the 3 Swordsmen claims that the "Seal" allows the user to employ their Spell & Trap Card Zone as an extra row, meaning that you can play up to 10 Monsters! What's more: unless the first-row Monsters aren't Destroyed, you can't Attack the back row Monsters.

Comeback: "Diffusion Wave-Motion".

• Grimo announces that soon enough Yami's soul shall be sacrificed for the resurrection of the 'ancient God'. His soul shall become food for the new world, since the current world shall be destroyed. Jounouchi realizes that it sounds similar to the stuff Haga and Ryuuzaki were muttering about. Yami questions if they did something to them.
  • The 3 Swordsmen admit having imprisoned the "souls" of Haga and Ryuuzaki in two "Seal of Oreichalcos" Cards. Yami is reminded of what Pegasus J. Crawford used to do with his Millennium Eye back when the Duelist Kingdom (arc).
    • After realizing that the "Seal" is indeed real and that it cannot be Destroyed, Yami stakes everything in 1 Card and Draws "Diffusion Wave-Motion" to win the Duel. Shockingly, Grimo loses his "soul": it's sealed inside of his Field Spell Card but not before he returns "Obelisk"'s Card to the blond man, "Rafael - sama".
      • Yami demands for Rafael and the others to return the stolen God Cards, but Rafael claims that they will need to defeat the three of them. Jounouchi challenges them, and another of the Swordsmen, who identifies himself as Valon tells Jounouchi not to rush so much: he'll soon deal with him. Rafael frees both Haga and Ryuuzaki before the 3 Swordsmen flee. Yami picks up the shining stone Grimo carried on him. This is just getting deeper.

The Next Day.

• After the institute, Yuugi & co. stumble upon Rebecca, who's grown somewhat since their meeting after Duelist Kingdom Tournament. She tells them to come to the Domino City Museum: her grandfather wants to talk with them. Once they get in there, they're greeted by both Professor Hopkins and Sugoroku. The Professor immediately identifies Yuugi as the "Nameless Pharaoh.

• • Elsewhere, the 3 Swordsmen are piloting a plane and heading for an unidentified island somewhere.

Featured Duel: Yami Yuugi vs. Grimo - Part 2

Duel continues from previous episode.

Grimo's Turn

• Grimo has just managed to Summon "Giant God Soldier of Obelisk" and uses it to Attack & Destroy Yami's "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior" (Yami: 3000 → 2000 Life Points).

Yami Yuugi's Turn

• Activates Spell Card "Graceful Charity", allowing him to Draw 3 Cards and Discard 2.
• Normal Summons "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" (1500 ATK / 1200 DEF) in Defense Position.
• Sets a Card.

Grimo's Turn

• Sets a Card.
• Attacks & destroys Yami's "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" with "Giant God Soldier of Obelisk".

Yami Yuugi's Turn

• Activates Spell Card "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior" (3500 ATK / 3850 DEF) back from his Graveyard in Attack Position.
• Tributes "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior" to Special Summon "Alpha The Magnet Warrior" (1400 ATK / 1700 DEF), "Beta The Magnet Warrior" (1700 ATK / 1600 DEF) and "Gamma The Magnet Warrior" (1500 ATK / 1800 DEF) back to the field in Attack Position.
• Activates Spell Card "Brave Attack", Tributing "Alpha The Magnet Warrior" and "Beta The Magnet Warrior" to add their ATK to the ATK of "Gamma The Magnet Warrior" ("Gamma The Magnet Warrior": 1500 → 2900 → 4600 ATK / 1800 DEF).
• Attacks & destroys Grimo's "Giant God Soldier of Obelisk" with "Gamma The Magnet Warrior" (Grimo: 2200 → 2100 Life Points).
• Since "Gamma The Magnet Warrior" Battled this Turn, it is Destroyed at the end of the Damage Step due to the Effect of "Brave Attack".

Grimo's Turn

• Activates Spell Card "Card of Sanctity" to make him and Yami draw until both have 6 cards in their hand (NOTE: In the real game, to Activate "Card of Sanctity" you must Remove every Card from your Hand and your Field, then you Draw until you have 2 Cards in your hand). Yami draws "Watapon", which allows him to Special Summon it immediately to the Field (200 ATK / 300 DEF) in Defense Position because of its own effect.
• Normal Summons "Warrior Dai Grepher" (1700 → 2200 ATK / 1600 DEF) in Attack Position.
• Yami activates Trap Card "Dark Renewal", Tributing "Warrior Dai Grepher" and "Watapon" in order to Special Summon "Dark Magician" (2500 ATK / 2100 DEF) from the Graveyard in Attack Position (It was one of the cards Yami discarded earlier thanks to "Graceful Charity").
• Grimo Sets a Card.

Yami Yuugi's Turn

• Attacks Grerimo directly with "Dark Magician".
• Grimo Activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Shield Wall" to Special Summon 4 "Shield Tokens" (0 → 500 ATK / 1000 DEF) in Defense Position. "Dark Magician" Attacks & Destroys the first "Shield Token".
• Grimo activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Bronze Knight", Discarding 3 Cards to Special Summon 3 "Bronze Knight Tokens" (500 → 1000 ATK / 500 DEF) in Attack Position. Grimo places them in the Spell & Trap Card Zone, (thanks to "The Seal of Orichalcos", Grimo can use his Spell & Trap Card Zone as an added Monster Card Zone) meaning they can't be attacked until Grimo's first-row monsters are destroyed first.
• Yami sets 2 cards.
• Normal Summons "Queen's Knight" (1500 ATK / 1600 DEF) in Defense Position.

Grimo's Turn

• Yami activates Trap Card "Dust Tornado" to destroy Grimo's "The Seal of Orichalcos". However, since the Seal cannot be Destroyed by Card Effects, it fails.
• Grimo activates Spell Card "The Warrior Returning Alive" to return "Warrior Dai Grepher" to his Hand.
• Normal Summons "Warrior Dai Grepher" (1700 → 2200 ATK / 1600 DEF) in Attack Position. Grimo places it in the Spell & Trap Card Zone.
• Activates Continuous Spell Card "Allied Forces", increasing the ATK of his Warrior-Type Monsters by 200 × the number of Warrior-Type and Spellcaster-Type on his side of the Field: since Grerimo controls 4 Warrior-Type Monsters (3 "Bronze Knight Tokens" and "Warrior Dai Grepher"), his Warrior-Type Monsters get a +800 ATK boost ("Bronze Knight Tokens": 1000 → 1800 ATK / 500 DEF) ("Warrior Dai Grepher": 2200 → 3000 ATK / 1600 DEF) (NOTE: In the real game, "Allied Forces" is called "The A. Forces").
• Attacks & Destroys Yami's "Dark Magician" with "Warrior Dai Grepher" (Yami: 2000 → 1500 Life Points).
• Attacks Yami's "Queen's Knight" with 1 "Bronze Knight Token".
• Yami Activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Magical Academy", tributing "Queen's Knight" to Special Summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000 ATK / 1700 DEF) from his Hand in Attack Position. Due to "Magical Academy", "Dark Magician Girl" gains +500 ATK ("Dark Magician Girl": 2000 → 2500 ATK / 1700 DEF) and 2 more Level stars ("Dark Magician Girl": Level 6 → 8). Since there is a "Dark Magician" in Yami's Graveyard, "Dark Magician Girl" gets a further +300 ATK boost due to its own Effect ("Dark Magician Girl": 2500 → 2800 ATK / 1700 DEF).

Yami Yuugi's Turn

• Activates Spell Card "Diffusion Wave-Motion", Paying 1000 Life Points (Yami: 1500 → 500 Life Points) to allow a Level 7 or higher Spellcaster-Type on his side of the Field to attack all of Grimo's monsters once each. He selects "Dark Magician Girl". (Dark Magician Girl is normally Level 6, but can be targeted by this Card due to the Effect of Magical Academy)
• Due to "Diffusion Wave-Motion's" Effect, "Dark Magician Girl" Attacks & Destroys the second "Shield Token".
• Due to "Diffusion Wave-Motion's" Effect, "Dark Magician Girl" Attacks & Destroys the third "Shield Token".
• Due to "Diffusion Wave-Motion's" Effect, "Dark Magician Girl" Attacks & Destroys the fourth "Shield Token".
• Due to "Diffusion Wave-Motion's" Effect, "Dark Magician Girl" attacks & destroys the first "Bronze Knight Token" (Grimo: 2100 → 1100 Life Points).
• Since Grimo controls 1 less Warrior-Type Monster, his Warrior-Type monsters lose 200 ATK (second and third "Bronze Knight Tokens": 1800 → 1600 ATK / 500 DEF) ("Warrior Dai Grepher": 3000 → 2800 ATK / 1600 DEF).
• Due to "Diffusion Wave-Motion's" Effect, "Dark Magician Girl" Attacks & Destroys the second "Bronze Knight Token" (Grerimo: 1100 → 0 Life Points).
• Since Grimo controls 1 less Warrior-Type Monster, his Warrior-Type Monsters lose 200 ATK (third "Bronze Knight Token": 1600 → 1400 ATK / 500 DEF) ("Warrior Dai Grepher": 2800 → 2600 ATK / 1600 DEF).
• Due to "Diffusion Wave-Motion's" Effect, "Dark Magician Girl" Attacks & Destroys the third "Bronze Knight Token" (Grimo can't take any more Damage, because his Life Points don't get any lower than 0.)
• Since Grimo controls one less Warrior-Type Monster, his Warrior-Type Monsters lose 200 ATK ("Warrior Dai Grepher": 2600 → 2400 ATK / 1600 DEF).
• Due to "Diffusion Wave-Motion's" Effect, "Dark Magician Girl" Attacks & Destroys Grimo's last Monster, "Warrior Dai Grepher" (Grimo still can't lose any more Life Points, because he is already fresh out). Yami wins.

Differences in adaptations

• Cut from the English version is a sequence of where Jounouchi, apparently trying to find a way up to the three swordsmen (Rafael, Valon and Allister), then runs to the edge of the building that he is standing on, and Honda following, bumping into Jounouchi and knocking him over the edge. Honda catches him just in time, and Jounouchi yelling at him, asking if Honda's trying to kill him.
• Cut from the English version is this scene showing Yami Yugi and Dark Magician surrounded by Grerimo's monsters, while Yami thinks that even the Dark Magician is unable to hurt Grerimo while the monsters in back are guarded by the monsters in front.
• Dark Magician Girl's attack against Warrior Dai Grepher is obscured in the dub.

Mistakes

• For some reason, Grerimo's eyes don't glow red in certain parts of the Duel when they should be glowing.
