==Episode Summary==

==Featured Duels==<b><big>The fake ghost of [[Seto Kaiba]] has just attacked with his "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", targeting one of [[Yami Yugi vs|Yugi]]'s "[[Magical Hats (anime)|Magical Hats]]". If the attack hits the "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]" contained within the "Hats", Yugi will have no monsters left. Mimic However, the attack of Doom</big></b>"Blue-Eyes" destroys the rightmost "Hat", which is revealed to be empty, and "Dark Magician" survives. On Yugi's turn, he Sets a card face-down, which conceals itself within one of the remaining "Hats". Yugi reveals that the card he played is a [[Trap Card]], and if Ghost Seto attacks the wrong "Hat", then there will be a surprise waiting for him.

:'Ghost Seto orders "Blue-Eyes" to attack the middle "Hat". Yugi calls it a nice choice, and reveals that under the "Hat" that Ghost Seto attacked was Yugi's Trap, "[[YuSpellbinding Circle (anime)|Spellbinding Circle]]". It activates, reducing the ATK of "Blue-GiEyes" by 700 and making it unable to change its battle position. Yugi orders his "Dark Magician" to attack "Blue-Oh! Eyes". It emerges from the right hat and destroys "Blue- Episode 009 - Duel Eyes" with a Ghoul#Featured Duels|continued from last episodemagic attack. Ghost Seto's [[Life Points]]''fall to 500.

Before [[Mimic of DoomMokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] [[attack]]s one can even finish celebrating, another "Blue-Eyes" appears on the field, which attacks and destroys "Dark Magician" with an energy blast. Ghost Seto asks if Yugi forgot that his Deck contains three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons", and says that being afraid of Ghost Seto is causing Yugi to make careless mistakes. (In the Hatsdub, generated from he reiterates that there's no way Yugi could beat three "Blue-Eyes" without the power of his lost "[[Magical HatsExodia]]", but it turns out empty.

Meanwhile, the real [[Yugi Muto|YugiSeto Kaiba]] is still back at his hideout alongside his virtual computer. Despite a warning being given that detects Seto's intrusion, he is still able to access [[SetDuel Arena]]#146, where Yugi is Dueling. He accesses the data of the active Duel, which to his shock has the Duelists listed as Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba. Seto is disgusted that someone else is using his Deck. The computer informs Seto of the Duel's status, and although he is impressed that Yugi took down a card in one of "Blue-Eyes" without "Exodia", he sees that Yugi is backed into a corner with no more cards that can defeat a "Blue-Eyes", let alone two. Seto tells the computer to upload a virus into the "Blue-Eyes" on the remaining hatsfield, which will decrease its ATK points.

Mimic of Doom attacks Back at the Duel Arena, Yugi thinks that hat and reveals nothing in his hand can defeat a "Blue-Eyes". Furthermore, with Ghost Seto having "[[Spellbinding CircleDefense Paralysis]]"on the field, Yugi isn't able to Summon monsters in Defense Position to stall for time, either. Resigned, which targets Yugi Summons his "[[Feral Imp (anime)|Feral Imp]]" in Attack Position - but with only 1300 ATK, it will have no hope of surviving an attack from a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]". Back in the hideout, Seto's virus is taking a long time to upload, reducing its [[ATK]] by 700and he yells at his computer to hurry up. (In the dub, he wishes that Yugi took a little longer to make his move.)

Yugi has Ghost Seto orders "[[Dark Magician]]Blue-Eyes" to attack "Feral Imp", which would win him the Duel. Suddenly, light beams start emerging from "Blue-Eyes" and destroy its body begins glitching. Back at the hideout, Seto sees that the ATK of "Blue-Eyes" is finally starting to drop. Ghost Seto calls to "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", dropping the Mimicasking what's wrong, as its body begins melting away. In the dining room of [[Life PointsPegasus Castle]], [[Maximillion J. Pegasus|Pegasus]] tells [[Croquet]] to 500contact the central control room, and adds that there's only one possible explanation for this - the real Seto Kaiba is alive.

Mimic In the hideout, Seto sees that his virus implant was successful - the ATK of Doom [[Summon]]s another "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" is at 2300 and attacksstill falling. He tells his computer to begin work on injecting a virus into the third "Blue-Eyes", destroying when suddenly the computer freezes up and informs him that the ATK of "Blue-Eyes"has stopped decreasing. Several pictures of [[Dark MagicianFunny Bunny]]"fill up the frozen screen and Seto curses Pegasus, who laughs and sips his wine. At the same time, dropping Yugiseveral goons burst into Seto's Life Points to 500mansion.

The computer unfreezes and informs Seto that the ATK of "Blue-Eyes" is still at 2000 and is no longer dropping - and it's launching its "Burst Stream" attack. With both Yugi Summons and Seto out of options, Seto slams his fists on the table in despair and calls out Yugi's name. Back at the Duel Arena, Yugi hears Seto's cry in his head just before the "Burst Stream" hits him. As it's about to engulf Yugi, the attack suddenly fizzles out. The last of the body of the "Blue-Eyes" melts away, and then it is destroyed. Ghost Seto is stunned, while Mokuba and the gang cheer. Seto asks the computer to analyze why "Blue-Eyes" was destroyed, but the computer says it cannot. Seto says that there can only be one explanation - the [[Feral ImpHeart of the Cards]]". Suddenly, he hears beeping from the security system behind him.

Mimic of Doom attacksBack at the Arena, but Yugi tells an enraged Ghost Seto that the only explanation for this is that the real Seto is still alive. Mokuba celebrates and tells a confused [[Seto KaibaTéa Gardner|Téa]] uploads a virus on that the only person who could have destroyed "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]"is Seto, steadily dropping its ATKmeaning that Seto is still alive. He Yugi implores the fake to reveal his real identity now that his charade is over. The fake's disguise bursts off of his body and he is about revealed to work on be the third Blueclown-Eyes when Pegasus intervenes, destroying the virus. With an ATK of 2000, one attack from like [[Blue-Eyes White DragonImpersonator of Death]] will wipe out . He tells Yugi's that he was sent by [[Life PointsIndustrial Illusions]]and it's time for them to have some fun. When Doom orders an attack(In the dub, he keeps up the real Kaiba calls out Yugicharade, claiming that he is Seto's name and he detects it. Blue-Eyes hears it too and decides to destroy itself because of the "Heart of evil side brought back from the Cards". Mimic of Doom eveals his true form and Summons "[[Grappler]]" in [[Defense PositionShadow Realm]]by Pegasus.)

Yugi Sets Meanwhile, five goons burst into Seto's hideout, but they see nothing but a card couple of static-filled screens. Croquet tells Pegasus of this news, but Pegasus tells him to leave Seto alone and Summons "watch how the rest of this Duel plays out. (In the dub, Pegasus radios [[Celtic GuardianKemo]]" at the Duel Arena and destroys "[[Grappler]]"tells him to not let Mokuba get away, no matter what.)

Kemo thinks that despite the Impersonator still being found out, his Deck still contains one more "Blue-Eyes". The Mimic Impersonator thinks this too, and that if he draws it, there's no way Yugi will be able to pull off another miracle. He Summons his "[[Grappler (anime)|Grappler]]" in Defense Position. Yugi thinks that the Impersonator is just stalling until he can draw his final "Blue-Eyes", and that if that happens, Yugi will lose. Yugi Sets a card and Summons his "[[Celtic Guardian (anime)|Celtic Guardian]]" in Attack Position, which attacks and destroys "Grappler". The Impersonator keeps stalling, Setting a card and Summoning "[[Mystic Horseman (anime)|Mystic Horseman]]" and in Defense Position. Yugi next Sets another card, then Summons "[[Mystical Elf (anime)|Mystical Elf]]" and comboes it with "[[Book of Secret Arts (anime)|Book of Secret Arts]]" to increase its ATK to 1100 before ending his turn. The Impersonator thinks that he strengthened "Mystical Elf" to survive the attack of "Mystic Horseman", but thinks it'll all be pointless if he can draw his final "Blue-Eyes".

Yugi Sets a The Impersonator triumphantly reveals that his next card and is the third "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". He Summons it in Attack Position. Mokuba thinks that it's fine, because Seto can help Yugi again, but Kemo says that since "[[Mystical Elf]]Blue-Eyes"isn't deteriorating this time, Yugi has no help left. He The Impersonator orders "Blue-Eyes" to attack with "Burst Stream of Destruction", but Yugi activates his Set "[[equippedMirror Force (anime)|equipsMirror Force]] ", which would destroy "Blue-Eyes" and win Yugi the Duel, but the Impersonator activates "[[Book of Secret ArtsNegate Attack (anime)|Negate Attack]]" to it, raising its ATK and DEF by 300cancel the attack of "Blue-Eyes".

Doom Summons Now on Yugi's turn, he declares that he still has his last trump card left. He activates "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" to bring back "Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and attacks, but with Yugi declaring that it isn't the Impersonator's card that he's bringing back, it's Seto's. The Impersonator says that Yugi activates "'s move is futile and that he's aiming for [[Mirror ForceDouble KO|mutual destruction]], but Yugi says that isn't the case - his " Mystical Elf" has been chanting a magic spell ever since it appeared on the field which allows it to transfer its ATK to reflect another monster. Yugi says that this move was inspired by Seto - who showed him that you can alter the attackpower of a "Blue-Eyes". Doom counters with Yugi's "[[Negate Attack]]Blue-Eyes" powers up to save 4100 ATK, and Yugi attacks the Impersonator's "Blue-Eyes" with "Holy Burst Stream", destroying it and reducing the Impersonator's Life Points to 0.

Yugi activates "[[Monster Reborn]]" to [[Special Summon]] one of declares that he will never forgive the destroyed "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]Impersonator for disrespecting Seto's deck and playing with people's"hearts. A glowing eye appears on Yugi transfers "'s forehead, and he [[Mystical ElfMind Crush (Penalty Game)|Mystical Elf'sMind Crush]]" ATK onto Blue-Eyeses the Impersonator. Still glowing, he tells Pegasus that he knows that he's listening, that his disrespect towards Seto will not be tolerated, and that Pegasus had better be ready. Its ATK rises Pegasus' wine glass shatters in his hands, and he says that Yugi has developed strong shadow powers in a very short time - and that makes Pegasus even more excited to 4100 and attacksdefeat Yugi with his own hands. (In the dub, destroying the Doomhe says that Yugi's Blue-Eyes and wiping out [[Millennium Puzzle]] will be his Life Points.)

Back at the Duel Arena, Yugi winstakes Seto's deck. However, Téa soon realizes that Mokuba is gone again, and Kemo must have taken him away.

This sequence is removed from the dub. * The Impersonator of Death's "Negate Attack" is changed to a Trap Card in the dub. In the original, it is a Magic Card. * When Pegasus' wine glass shatters, he has wine on his hand, the wine on Pegasus' hand is erased from the dub. ==Errors==* When Kaiba hacks into the dueling system to view Yugi's duel, the computer indicates that Yugi is just beginning his turn and has no cards on the field. However, the visual display shows that Yugi controls "Feral Imp" and "Magical Hats" on his field. At this point in the duel, the effect of "Magical Hats" should already have expired, and Yugi has yet to summon the "Feral Imp". ==Trivia==* This is the last episode to feature [[Sam Riegel]] as [[Tristan Taylor]]. [[Greg Abbey]] replaces him for all episodes beyond this one. * Despite "Mystic Horseman" being played in the Duel, it doesn't make an appearance at all. * "Give up the ghost" is an idiom that basically means "to accept death". The use of this idiom as the episode's dub title is a reflection (in the dub) of how the Impersonator of Death, a shadow of Kaiba's dark side that was still able to Duel, was ultimately sent back to the Shadow Realm by Yugi. * In the dub, after "[[Grappler (anime)|Grappler]]" is destroyed, the Impersonator of Death said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow", which is a reference to ''Romeo and Juliet''. This is also a pun, as "Grappler" had literally been parted in two. ==Notes==<references group="Notes" /> {{Yu-Gi-Oh! Episodes]]episodes/season 1}}
