[[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] and the [[Eliminator|Player Killer]] enter the [[Battle Box]] to start their Duel. [[Mai ValentineKujaku (manga)|Mai]] warns Dark Yugi that his opponent is a Player Killer, who roams [[Duelist Kingdom (island)|the island]] taking [[Star Chips]] from the [[Duelist Kingdom(manga)|tournament]] Duelists. Dark Yugi's opponent asserts that Mai is correct. He says that [[Industrial Illusions]] sent him, but he is not just any Player Killer, he is the [[PaniKPlayer Killer of Darkness (manga)|Player Killer of Darkness]]. Since the tournament rules require Duelists to win Star Chips from each other, Dark Yugi wonders why [[Maximillion J. Pegasus(manga)|Pegasus]] would hire someone to interfere with the game. The Player Killer of Darkness explains that Duelists who collect ten Star Chips can advance to [[Pegasus Castle]] for the final rounds, but there can only be four finalists. Dark Yugi recalls that there are forty participants, each of whom were given two Star Chips. This is a total of eighty Star Chips, only forty of which are needed for the finals, so Dark Yugi theorizes deduces that it is the Player Killers' mission to take the other forty Star Chips.

[[File:D-022 Dark Yugi VS Player Killer of Darkness.jpg|thumb|left|[[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]], with the wire around his neck.]]Dark Yugi says that he will bet all six of his Star Chips and the Player Killer will bet the eight he took from Mai. To make up for the difference, he says that he will bet his life. The Player Killer likes the offer but is skeptical, so in lieu of a guarantee, he shoots a wire out of his [[Duel DiskGlove]], which wraps around Dark Yugi's neck. He laughs that some Duelists try to run out of fear, but that wire is used to make sure they cannot get away. He says that if he wins, he will choke Dark Yugi to death and maybe twice to get his two Star Chips worth. This worries [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu]] and Mai asks how low the Player Killers can be. Dark Yugi is fine with the conditions, but adds that the Player Killer will have to face a [[Penalty Game]] if he loses.

[[File:D-022 Darkness spreading.jpg|thumb|right|"[[Castle of Dark Illusions (manga)|Castle of Dark Illusions]]" engulfs the field in darkness.]]The Player Killer of Darkness goes first and [[Summon]]s "[[Castle of Dark Illusions (manga)|Castle of Dark Illusions]]". The castle hovers over the field and causes the Player Killer's side of the field to become engulfed in [[darkness]], preventing Dark Yugi from seeing any of the Player Killer's cards and makes it difficult to even see the Player Killer. Mai warns Dark Yugi to watch out as the Darkness is what defeated her "[[Harpie]]s". The Player Killer laughs that Dark Yugi's monsters do not get their [[Field Power Bonus|Field Power Source]] at night, but his dark cards get infinite strength. He urges Dark Yugi to play any card and says that the darkness will bury him. Not knowing what the Player Killer is planning, Dark Yugi decides to be cautious and Summons "[[Celtic Guardian (manga)|Celtic Guardian]]" in [[Defense Position|Defense Mode]]. The Player Killer Summons a card, which hides in the darkness. It [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "Celtic Guardian" with its "[[Attack name|Dark Absolute]]" attack.

He urges Dark Yugi thinks that there has to be a way to play any card defeat it and says that plays "[[Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress (manga)|Winged Dragon, Guardian of the darkness will bury himFortress]]" in Defense Mode.
