Featured Duel: Marik Ishtar vs. Yugi Muto - Part 2

Duel continues from previous episode.

Turn 6: Yami Yugi

• Marik has just managed to Special Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" in Phoenix Mode.
  • Since a monster was summoned on 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"'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").
• Marik activates "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" effect, paying 1000 Life Points (Marik 4000 → 3000 Life Points) to destroy "Slifer the Sky Dragon".
• Because it was Special Summoned, "The Winged Dragon of Ra" returns to Marik's Graveyard.
• Marik activates "Zombie's Jewel", adding "Monster Reborn" from Yugi's Graveyard to Marik's hand, but in exchange Yugi draws 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, 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.
• Activates "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in Attack Position.

(NOTE: This time after its activation, "Monster Reborn" goes where it should, i.e. Marik's Graveyard).

• Pays all but 1 of his Life Points (Marik 3000 → 1 Life Points), in order to activate "The Winged Dragon of Ra"'s second effect, increasing its ATK by the total amount of Life Points paid ("The Winged Dragon of Ra": 0 → 2999 ATK / 0 → 2999 DEF). This effectively "fuses" Marik with Ra.
• Tributes "Juragedo", in order to activate another of "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" effects, transferring the tributed monster's ATK to itself, i.e. increasing "Ra's" ATK/DEF by the total amount of ATK/DEF tributed ("The Winged Dragon of Ra": 2999 → 4699 ATK / 2999 → 4299 DEF).
• "The Winged Dragon of Ra" attacks Yugi directly, but Yugi activates the Spell Card he set in the previous turn: "Fiend's Sanctuary", allowing Yugi to Special Summon a "Metal Fiend Token" (0 ATK / 0 DEF) to the field in Attack Position. Yugi explains to Marik that this token will block Marik's attack and when it does, any Battle Damage inflicted to Yugi will be redirected to Marik instead.
• Marik activates his set "De-Fusion" in order to separate himself from "The Winged Dragon of Ra", stopping the attack. By doing so, Ra's ATK is added back to Marik's Life Points (Marik 1 → 4700 Life Points).
• "The Winged Dragon of Ra" returns to Marik's Graveyard since it was Special Summoned.
• Sets a card.

Turn 8: Yami Yugi

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

Duel continues next episode.

Differences in adaptations

• A close-up pan of Yami 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 Marik used De-Fusion to separate himself from Ra, cut is a pan of his side of the field.
• When Marik wonders if Yami drew the card that Kaiba gave him from Zombie's Jewel's second effect, Kaiba throwing the card to Yami is added of Marik 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 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.

Mistakes

• In a close up of 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).
