| + | "'''Sinister Secrets, Part 2'''" is the one-hundred and ninety-seventh episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime. It first aired in Japan on March 24, 2004 and in the United States on October 8, 2005. | ||

Leon activates "[[Golden Castle of Stromberg (anime)|Golden Castle of Stromberg]]", which unbeknownst to him was reprogrammed by his brother [[Zigfried von Schroeder|Zigfried]] with a virus that infects [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba's]] computer databases. In order to save Kaiba's company, Yami must find a way to destroy the seemingly indestructible card and win the Duel.}} | |
| − | + | == Summary == | |
| − | + | [[Leon von Schroeder|Leon]] explains that he found consolation in fairy tales when no-one would mind him, and was fascinated by them. He wrote a letter to [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]] and asked him to produce "Fairy-tale-themed" cards. | |
| − | + | [[Leon von Schroeder|Leon]] manages to gain the upper-hand in the [[Duel]]. [[Yami Yugi]] makes a comeback by using "[[Mirror Force (later anime)|Mirror Force]]", but Leon quickly [[Special Summon]]s two of the destroyed monsters. Rebecca remarks that Leon's strategy is strong, and that she is unable to see any flaws on it. Yami Yugi then uses a combo to quickly [[Summon]] "[[Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]]", which is one of Leon's favorite monsters. | |
| − | + | Leon [[Draw a card|draws]] and activates the [[Field Spell Card]] given to him by Ziegfried, "[[Golden Castle of Stromberg (anime)|Golden Castle of Stromberg]]". When he does, his [[Duel Disk]] frizzles, which catches the attention of [[Seto Kaiba]], [[Arthur Hawkins|Professor Hawkins]] and [[Solomon Moto]]. Solomon and the Professor admit knowing about the card, but weren't expecting it to show up in such a place. [[Duke Devlin|Duke]] has a hunch, which is confirmed: "Golden Castle of Stromberg" was a single-print rare card made by [[Maximillion J. Pegasus|Pegasus]] for test purposes and prestige only. It was the reward in a tournament (named "[[Fall Cup Duel Project]]" in the Japanese version) several years ago, and was never meant to be released or played in tournaments. Seto notes that getting it must have been easy with the influence of the Schroeder family. [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] adds that, since the card holds such a status, the "Solid Vision System" should have never accepted it. However, he realizes something, which Seto confirms: the Duel Computer's Limiter has been tampered with so that the card is recognized as legal. Kaiba demands to know if that was Zigfried's true goal, which Zigfried responds to by shrugging. Zigfried smugly thinks to himself that Kaiba cannot escape his trap. | |
| − | + | After finding out his card is illegal, Leon looks unsure. Zigfried tries to assure him by claiming that, since the card is on the field, it's now legal and winning is what matters for their family. Yami Yugi accuses Zigfried of staining both the Duel and the "souls of us Duelists", saying he doesn't have the qualification to be a Duelist. Zigfried disregards the accusation, seeing Duel Monsters as being a mere game. Yami Yugi claims that he's stained the sanctity of the entire tournament: the Duelists who took part in this tournament and everyone who came to cheer, the fans of Duels scattered around the world and the heart of Leon, who was fighting for his sake. Zigfried sees it as "playing the hero" and tells Yami Yugi that he's "not mature enough". | |
| − | + | Leon tells Zigfried that it would seem that he doesn't believe in him after all, and that's why he's doing this. Leon refuses to play foul, so he activates "[[Mystical Space Typhoon (anime)|Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to destroy it. However, since "Golden Castle of Stromberg" cannot be destroyed by Spell and Trap Cards, it fails. Solomon and the Professor catch on: the card's text data has been rewritten. Suddenly, a nearby TV screen frizzles. Zigfried asks Kaiba to remove the limiter if he thinks it really bothers him so much, as the card itself is a switch. Upon its activation, a virus program is engaged. | |
| − | + | Kaiba orders from the anti-virus program to be engaged, but Zigfried deems it to be too late: all programs will be erased at a great speed, and all of the Duel monsters data will be gone. Leon, taken aback, tries to surrender the Duel, but Zigfried claims that it won't halt the virus. There's only one way to stop it: destroy the Golden Castle! Yami Yugi encourages Leon to keep on, and he promises to find a way to destroy it. He rallies for him to show Zigfried "the glory of Duelists" and claims that they'll get rid of this infamous trap. | |

"Sinister Secrets, Part 2" is the one-hundred and ninety-seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. It first aired in Japan on March 24, 2004 and in the United States on October 8, 2005.
The Duel between Yami Yugi and Leon von Schroeder continues. Leon activates "Golden Castle of Stromberg", which unbeknownst to him was reprogrammed by his brother Zigfried with a virus that infects Kaiba's computer databases. In order to save Kaiba's company, Yami must find a way to destroy the seemingly indestructible card and win the Duel.

Summary[edit]
Leon explains that he found consolation in fairy tales when no-one would mind him, and was fascinated by them. He wrote a letter to Pegasus and asked him to produce "Fairy-tale-themed" cards.
Leon manages to gain the upper-hand in the Duel. Yami Yugi makes a comeback by using "Mirror Force", but Leon quickly Special Summons two of the destroyed monsters. Rebecca remarks that Leon's strategy is strong, and that she is unable to see any flaws on it. Yami Yugi then uses a combo to quickly Summon "Dark Magician Girl", which is one of Leon's favorite monsters.
Leon draws and activates the Field Spell Card given to him by Ziegfried, "Golden Castle of Stromberg". When he does, his Duel Disk frizzles, which catches the attention of Seto Kaiba, Professor Hawkins and Solomon Moto. Solomon and the Professor admit knowing about the card, but weren't expecting it to show up in such a place. Duke has a hunch, which is confirmed: "Golden Castle of Stromberg" was a single-print rare card made by Pegasus for test purposes and prestige only. It was the reward in a tournament (named "Fall Cup Duel Project" in the Japanese version) several years ago, and was never meant to be released or played in tournaments. Seto notes that getting it must have been easy with the influence of the Schroeder family. Mokuba adds that, since the card holds such a status, the "Solid Vision System" should have never accepted it. However, he realizes something, which Seto confirms: the Duel Computer's Limiter has been tampered with so that the card is recognized as legal. Kaiba demands to know if that was Zigfried's true goal, which Zigfried responds to by shrugging. Zigfried smugly thinks to himself that Kaiba cannot escape his trap.

Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. Leon von Schroeder[edit]
Duel continues from previous episode.
Yami Yugi has 4000 Life Points remaining and controls "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian" (1400/1200) in Attack Position.
Leon has 3700 Life Points remaining and controls "Forest Hunter" (1200/800), "Iron Hans" (1200/800), and "Iron Knight" (700/700) in Attack Position.
Turn 5: Leon von Schroeder
Leon activates "Iron Cage" to destroy "Iron Hans" ("Iron Knight": 700 → 1700/700). "Iron Knight" attacks and destroys "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian" (Yami Yugi 4000 → 3700). "Forest Hunter" attacks directly (Yami Yugi 3700 → 2500).
Turn 6: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws "Mirror Force" (Yugi's Deck: 33 → 32). He Normal Summons "Queen's Knight" (1500/1600) in Attack Position. "Queen's Knight" attacks and destroys "Forest Hunter" (Leon 3700 → 3400). Yami Yugi Sets one card.
Turn 7: Leon von Schroeder
Leon draws. On Leon's Standby Phase, the second effect of "Iron Cage" Special Summons the destroyed "Iron Hans" from his Graveyard (1200/800) in Attack Position and destroys itself ("Iron Knight": 1700 → 700/700). The effect of "Iron Hans" activates, Special Summoning one "Iron Knight" from Leon's Deck (1700 → 700/700) in Attack Position. Leon activates "Spinning Wheel Spindle" to destroy "Queen's Knight". Three turns after the activation of "Spinning Wheel Spindle", "Queen's Knight" will be returned to Yami Yugi's side of the field.
"Iron Hans" attacks directly, but Yami Yugi activates his face-down "Mirror Force" to destroy all of Leon's Attack Position monsters. Leon then activates "Water of Life" to revive "Iron Hans" (1200/800) in Attack Position. The effect of "Iron Hans" then activates, Special Summoning one "Iron Knight" from Leon's Deck (1700 → 700/700) in Attack Position.
Turn 8: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws "Pot of Greed" (Yugi's Deck: 32 → 31) and subsequently activates it to draw two cards (Yugi's Deck: 31 → 29). One of the cards he draws is "Watapon", so Yami Yugi Special Summon "Watapon" from his hand (200/300) in Attack Position. Yami Yugi then Tributes "Watapon" to Tribute Summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000/1700) in Attack Position. "Dark Magician Girl" attacks and destroys "Iron Knight" (Leon 3400 → 2100).
Turn 9: Leon von Schroeder
Leon draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards. He then switches "Iron Hans" to Defense Position. Leon then activates "Golden Castle of Stromberg". Leon then activates the first effect of "Golden Castle of Stromberg" to Special Summon "Cinderella" from his Deck (300/600) in Attack Position. Since "Cinderella" was summoned, its effect activates, Special Summoning one "Pumpkin Carriage" (0/800) from Leon's Deck in Defense Position. The second effect of "Cinderella" then activates, allowing Leon to activate one "Glass Slippers" from his Deck and equip "Glass Slippers" to "Cinderella".
"Cinderella" attacks directly via the effect of "Pumpkin Carriage" (Yami 2500 → 2200). Since "Cinderella" inflicted Battle Damage through a direct attack, the first effect of "Glass Slippers" activates, equipping itself to Yami Yugi's "Dark Magician Girl" and decreasing its ATK by 1000 ("Dark Magician Girl": 2000 → 1000/1700). Upon discovering that "Golden Castle of Stromberg" is an illegal card that his brother made legal through hacking, Leon activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy it.
