Featured Duel: Yami Marik vs. Yami Yugi - Part 2

Duel continues from previous episode.

Turn 6: Yami Yugi
Yami Marik has just managed to Special Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" in Phoenix Mode. Since a monster was summoned on Yami Marik's side of the field, "Slifer the Sky Dragon"'s second-mouth effect activates, lowering the ATK/DEF of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" by 2000 and destroying it if its ATK/DEF becomes 0. But it fails, as "The Winged Dragon of Ra" is immune to "Slifer the Sky Dragon's" effect ("The Winged Dragon of Ra" also already had 0 ATK, so it could haven't been reduced to 0 by the effect of "Slifer"). Yami Marik then activates "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" effect to pay 1000 Life Points (Marik 4000 → 3000) and destroy "Slifer the Sky Dragon". Because it was Special Summoned, "The Winged Dragon of Ra" returns to Marik's Graveyard. Yami Marik activates "Zombie's Jewel" to add "Monster Reborn" from Yugi's Graveyard to Marik's hand and allow Yami Yugi to draw a card (Aside from "Monster Reborn", Yami Marik's hand is shown to contain "Bait Doll" and "The Mask of Remnants".). Without looking at it, Yami Yugi sets the card he drew (NOTE: Ishizu reveals the card is "Fiend's Sanctuary", the card Seto gave Yugi before the Duel started).

Turn 7: Yami Marik
Yami Marik draws. He then activates "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (0/0) in Attack Position. Yami Marik then pays all but 1 of his Life Points (Yami Marik 3000 → 1), in order to activate "The Winged Dragon of Ra"'s second effect, increasing its ATK and DEF by the total amount of Life Points paid ("The Winged Dragon of Ra": 0 → 2999/0 → 2999). This effectively "fuses" Yami Marik with Ra. Yami Marik then Tributes "Juragedo" in order to activate another of "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" effects, transferring the tributed monster's ATK and DEF to itself, i.e. increasing "Ra's" ATK/DEF by the total amount of ATK/DEF tributed ("The Winged Dragon of Ra": 2999 → 4699/2999 → 4299).

"The Winged Dragon of Ra" attacks Yugi directly, but Yugi activates the Spell Card he set in the previous turn: "Fiend's Sanctuary", allowing Yami Yugi to Special Summon a "Metal Fiend Token" (0/0) to the field in Attack Position. Yami Yugi explains to Yami Marik that this token will block Yami Marik's attack and when it does, any Battle Damage inflicted to Yami Yugi will be redirected to Yami Marik instead. Yami Marik activates "De-Fusion" in order to separate himself from "The Winged Dragon of Ra" and stop the attack. By doing so, Ra's ATK is added back to Yami Marik's Life Points (Yami Marik 1 → 4700). "The Winged Dragon of Ra" returns to Yami Marik's Graveyard since it was Special Summoned. Yami Marik then Sets a card.

Turn 8: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws. On Yami Yugi's Standby Phase, he pays 1000 Life Points (Yugi 3300 → 2300) to keep his "Metal Fiend Token" on the field. Yami Yugi activates "Multiply" to Special Summon 2 more "Metal Fiend Tokens" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then Tributes his 3 "Metal Fiend Tokens" to Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. "Obelisk the Tormentor" attacks Yami Marik directly.

Duel continues next episode.

Differences in adaptations

• A close-up pan of Yami Yugi and Yugi screaming in flames from Ra's attack is cut from the dub.
• Fiend's Sanctuary's star is given more points in the dub.
• After Yami Marik used De-Fusion to separate himself from Ra, cut is a pan of his side of the field.
• When Yami Marik wonders if Yami Yugi drew the card that Kaiba gave him from Zombie's Jewel's second effect, Kaiba throwing the card to Yami is added in the dub.
• Cut from the English version is a scene where Kaiba wonders if Yugi will summon a miracle. Then, Isono attempts to stop the game, telling Yami Yugi it's against the rules to set a card without knowing what it is—if it's a monster card, it's in the wrong slot. But Kaiba thinks it's interesting, and tells Isono to let them duel.
• After summoning Obelisk The Tormentor, Yami Yugi says in his mind that it was "Summoned with the help of two of his friends" and the image of Yugi and Kaiba were added. In the Japanese version, neither of this happens.

Mistakes

• In a close up of Yami Marik's hand, it is seen that he has the magic card Fiend's Sanctuary even though Kaiba said that only he has that card (in Episode 137).
