'''Dark Yugi and the Ventriloquist of the Dead's Duel''' was a Duel in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga]] between [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] and the [[Ventriloquist of the Dead]], during the [[Duelist Kingdom (manga)|Duelist Kingdom]] tournament. The ventriloquist used a puppet of [[Seto Kaiba (manga)|Seto Kaiba]] to make his moves.
In the anime, it is replaced with [[Yami Yugi and Ghost Kaiba's Duel|a similar Duel]] between [[Yami Yugi|Dark Yugi]] and [[Ghost Kaiba]].
[[Kemo|Saruwatari]] worked for [[KaibaCorp]], but was secretly a spy for [[Industrial Illusions]]. After Seto Kaiba fell into a coma, Saruwatari managed to steal his Deck. He gave this to the [[Eliminator|Player Killer]], the [[Ventriloquist of the Dead]], who used it with a puppet to impersonate Kaiba.
[[Mokuba Kaiba]] attempted to steal Dark Yugi's Star Chips, hoping to disqualify him from [[Duelist Kingdom (manga)|Duelist Kingdom]], which he believed would ruin [[Maximillion Pegasus]]' attempt [[Pegasus' KaibaCorp takeover attempt|to take over]] [[KaibaCorp]]. However he only managed to grab two of Dark Yugi's three Star Chips and Dark Yugi grabbed him by the arm before he could run away. Dark Yugi and [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu Mazaki]] managed to convince Mokuba that they would help him stop Pegasus.
As Mokuba tried returning the Star Chips to Dark Yugi, he was stopped by [[Kemo|Saruwatari]], who told them that Star Chips could only be earned through Dueling. Dark Yugi challenged Saruwatari to a Duel for the Star Chips, but since Saruwatari didn't play, he arranged an opponent for Dark Yugi, the Ventriloquist of the Dead.

[[File:D-015 Puppet playing.jpg|thumb|righ|100px|The [[Ventriloquist of the Dead|ventriloquist]] gets [[Kaiba puppet|the puppet]] to hold his cards.]]
The ventriloquist [[Normal Summon|Summoned]] "[[Battle Ox (manga)|Battle Ox]]" ([[ATK]]: 1700), which Dark Yugi recognized as a card also used by the real Kaiba.
| turn2 = Dark Yugi's turn
| summary2 = Dark Yugi Summoned "[[Dark Magician (manga)|Dark Magician]]" (ATK: 2500) and got it to [[attack]] and [[destroy]] "[[Battle Ox]]" (Ventriloquist: 2000 → 1200 [[Life Points]]).
The ventriloquist had the puppet wail about how Dark Yugi got him. This disturbed Dark Yugi and he wondered how far the ventriloquist planned on taking his act. Dark Yugi's friends began to notice how the puppet was putting him off at this point.
| turn3 = Ventriloquist's turn
| summary3 = As the puppet drew the next card, the ventriloquist had it say "The d-d-dragon of r-r-revenge has risen from Hell!!" and ask if Dark Yugi is ready. He then Summoned "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (manga)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]". Mokuba, Dark Yugi and his friends were all surprised by this, as only the real Seto Kaiba owned copies of that card.
The ventriloquist had the puppet claim to be Kaiba's soul borrowing the doll as a body in order to exact revenge on Dark Yugi. This had Dark Yugi wonder if the part of Kaiba's soul containing his undying grudge and thirst for vengeance were actually part of the doll.
By forfeiting his attack, the ventriloquist played "[[Stop Defense (original manga)|Stop Defense]]" [[face-down]] and laughed to himself that Dark Yugi's monsters would soon have nowhere to run.
| turn4 = Dark Yugi's turn
| summary4 = With the "Dark Magician" not powerful enough to compete with "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", Dark Yugi switched it to [[Defense Position|Defense Mode]] (DEF: 2100) and then played "[[Curse of Dragon (manga)|Curse of Dragon]]" in Defense Mode (DEF: 1500). Having expected that, the ventriloquist revealed his "Stop Defense" as he activated it forcing Dark Yugi's current and future monsters into [[Attack Position|Attack Mode]] ("Dark Magician": 2500 ATK, "Curse of Dragon": 2000 ATK).
| turn5 = Ventriloquist's turn
| summary6 =
[[File:D-016 Hats.jpg|thumb|left|"[[Magical Hats]]" conceals [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]]'s monsters.]]
Dark Yugi activated "[[Magical Hats(manga)|Magical hats]]", concealing "Dark Magician" under one hat and shuffling it with three others.
| turn7 = Ventriloquist's turn
| turn8 = Dark Yugi's turn
| summary8 = Dark Yugi played "[[Spellbinding Circle (manga)|Spellbinding Circle]]" face-down under one of the hats. He explained that out of the three remaining hats, the "Dark Magician" is under one and the ventriloquist hits it, it'll be destroyed, but if he hits the wrong one, he may activate the Trap Card that was just [[Set]].
| turn9 = Ventriloquist's turn
| turn2 = Dark Yugi's turn
| summary2 = Thinking that there are no cards left in his Deck that can defeat a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", Dark Yugi thought he had lost. With limited options, he played "[[Feral Imp (manga)|Feral Imp]]" in Attack Mode (ATK: 1300) and expected defeat next turn.
| turn3 = Ventriloquist's turn
Dark Yugi's friends celebrated the dragon's self-destruction. [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu]] wondered why it happened and thought it was like Kaiba's card refused to attack, but [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Jonouchi]] said that was stupid, since cards can't think like people do. [[Kemo|Saruwatari]] suspected some sort of malfunction in the [[Battle Box]], but [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] said that KaibaCorp technology does not break that easily and that not just anybody was capable of using his brother's cards.
With no monsters left in play, Dark Yugi urged the ventriloquist to hurry-up and play one. The ventriloquist played "[[Grappler (manga)|Grappler]]" in [[Defense Position|Defense Mode]] ([[DEF]]: 1200), hoping to play defensive until he drew the last "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
| turn4 = Dark Yugi's turn
| summary4 = Dark Yugi played either "[[Mirror Force (manga)|Mirror Force]]" or "[[Monster Reborn (manga)|Monster Reborn]]" [[face-down]] in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] and Summoned "[[Celtic Guardian (manga)|Celtic Guardian]]" (ATK: 1400), which he used to attack and destroy "Grappler".
| turn5 = Ventriloquist's turn
| summary5 = The ventriloquist played an unnamed monster in Defense Mode and a "[[Negate Attack (manga)|Negate Attack]]" face-down in the Spell & Trap Card Zone.
| turn6 = Dark Yugi's turn
| summary6 = Dark Yugi played the other of "Mirror Force" or "Monster Reborn" face-down in the Spell & Trap Card Zone and Summoned "[[Mystical Elf (manga)|Mystical Elf]]" in Attack Mode (ATK: 800).
Looking at Dark Yugi's field, the ventriloquist thought the amount of monsters he had didn't matter, since Dark Yugi would lose if "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" destroyed just one of them. Jonouchi noted how he was getting a bad vibe off the Duel, which was hard to watch with the intensity. With face-down cards on both sides, Bakura bet that one of them was the trump card that would decide the Duel.
| turn8 = Dark Yugi's turn
| summary8 =
[[File:D-017 Holy Burst Stream.jpg|thumb|right|"[[Mystical Elf (manga)|Mystical Elf]]" and "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" combine attacks.]]
Dark Yugi activated his face-down "Monster Reborn", causing the ventriloquist to worry that one of his monsters could be revived onto Dark Yugi's side of the field. Dark Yugi corrected him saying it was not one of his cards he was bringing back, but Kaiba's and revived one of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cards.
