Yugi Mutou and Aigami faced each other in a game of Duel Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions.

Events

Prior

Aigami interfered with KaibaCorp's excavation of the Shrine of the Underworld and managed to steal two pieces of the Millennium Puzzle. He gave one of the pieces to his sister, Sera, who in turn gave it to Yugi.

Aigami displayed an interest becoming friends with Yugi. However, he sent Yugi's friends Katsuya Jonouchi and Ryo Bakura to other dimensions. Yugi learned of this and managed to reunite with Jonouchi, but continued to search for Bakura.

Seto Kaiba announced that there would be an exhibition Duel at Kaiba Land to showcase his new Duel Disk. He had a group of men abduct Aigami and bring him to Kaiba Land. Kaiba learned that Aigami did not have both pieces of the puzzle and suspected Yugi had the other one. Kaiba personally met up with Yugi and showed him that he had all of the Millennium Puzzle assembled, minus the two pieces and demanded that Yugi take part in the exhibition Duel.

When Yugi arrived at Kaiba Land, Kaiba announced that he would be Dueling Aigami and then Yugi, in order to obtain their pieces of the Millennium Puzzle. However Yugi was annoyed with what Aigami had done to his friends and intent on finding Bakura, so he insisted that he be the one to Duel Aigami.

Duel

This Duel uses Dimension Summoning. Both Normal Summons and Special Summons may be conducted as Dimension Summons instead, allowing players to Summon any monster without Tribute, by using their own Spirit to determine its ATK and DEF values, though their maximum original values will be the printed values. Neither player receives battle damage from battles involving Dimension Summoned monsters, but will take damage equal to their ATK or DEF when they are destroyed, depending on their battle position.

As every monster Dimension Summoned by both players was Summoned with its maximum values, that will be not be noted below.

The attack continues (Yugi: 2000 → 1900).

Turn 3: Yugi
Yugi Dimension Summons "Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight" (2300/2100) in Attack Position. "Lord Gaia" attacks and destroys "Indiora Doom Volt" (Aigami: 8000 → 7900). Since "Indiora Doom Volt" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, letting him return it to his hand and Special Summon the three "Vijam" (0/0 each) underneath it. As he Special Summoned a "Cubic Seed" monster during his opponent's turn via the effect of a "Cubic" monster, Aigami activates the effect of "Cubic Karma", sending to the Graveyard to halve his opponent's LP (Yugi: 1900 → 950). Yugi Sets three cards.

Turn 4: Aigami
Aigami stacks his three "Vijam" to Dimension Summon "Indiora Doom Volt" (0/0) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. As it was Special Summoned, its effect activates, inflicting 800 damage to the opponent (Yugi: 950 → 150). "Indiora Doom Volt" gains 800 original ATK for each monster stacked underneath it (0 → 2400). As Aigami Special Summoned a monster with ATK greater than the ATK of "Lord Gaia", the effect of "Lord Gaia" increases its ATK by 700 (2300 → 3000) until the End Phase. Aigami then activates "Cublic Wave", letting him target a "Cubic" monster he controls and a monster his opponent controls, increase the ATK of his monster by its original ATK and halve the ATK of his opponent's monster as long as "Cubic Karma" remains on the field ("Indiora Doom Volt": 2400 → 4800, "Lord Gaia": 3000 → 1500).Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Anime Complete Guide: Millennium MemoryIndiora Doom Volt" attacks "Lord Gaia", but Yugi activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Dimension Sphinx", letting him target a face-up Attack Position monster he controls. When it is attacked by an opponent's monster with higher ATK, the difference in ATKs will be inflicted to the opponent as damage. Yugi then activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Dimension Guardian", letting him target an Attack Position monster he controls and prevent its destruction by battle as long as it is in Attack Position. Finally, Yugi activates his face-down "Dimension Mirage", letting him target an Attack Position monster his opponent controls. When that monster fails to destroy an Attack Position monster Yugi controls by battle, he may banish a monster from his Graveyard to force that target to attack again in a row. The attack continues, "Lord Gaia" is not destroyed and Aigami takes damage (Aigami: 7900 → 4600).

Since "Indiora Doom Volt" failed to destroy "Lord Gaia" by battle, Yugi banishes a monster from his Graveyard with "Dimension Mirage", the effect of "Dimension Mirage" forces "Indiora Doom Volt" to attack "Lord Gaia" again, with the effect of "Dimension Guardian" preventing "Lord Gaia" from being destroyed and the effect of "Dimension Sphinx" inflicting damage to Aigami (Aigami: 4600 → 1300). Thus, Aigami is forced into an controlled loop and this repeats one more time, with Yugi banishing the last monster in his Graveyard (Aigami: 1300 → 0).
