**Since "[[Guardian Grarl (anime)|Guardian Grarl]]" is seen no further in this [[Duel]], some might doubt the utility of Rafael's move. It actually serves another purpose: It keeps Rafael's [[Graveyard]] [[Monster Card|monster]]-free so that he can later use the effect of "[[Guardian Eatos (anime)|Guardian Eatos]]" to [[Special Summon]] itself to the [[field]].

*Towards the end of the Duel, before the Monsters in [[Yami Yugi]]'s [[Graveyard]] go into "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos (anime)|Celestial Sword - Eatos]]", they are angry, hurt, and resentful towards [[Yami Yugi]] for using the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" for power.

*Rafael's plan hinged on defeating the Pharaoh and having him lose his soul via "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]"; had the Seal not been played, Yugi would still lose, but his and [[Yami Yugi]]'s souls would've been safe and Rafael's efforts would be ultimately futile.

''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 157|Duel continues from previous episode.]]''
  
==Yami Yugi's Turn==
+
Yami Yugi has 600 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining and controls "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" (2600/1700) in Attack Position and "The Seal of Orichalcos".
*[[Yami Yugi]] has just [[Activate]]d "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]".  
 
  
*From now on, all of Yami Yugi's [[monster]]s will receive a + 500 [[ATK]] boost and the loser of this [[Duel]] will lose his/her soul ("[[Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight]]": 2600 > 3100 [[ATK]] / 1700 [[DEF]]).
+
Rafael has 3000 Life Points remaining and controls "Guardian Grarl" (3000/1000) in Attack Position, "Backup Gardna" (500/2700) in Defense Position, "Guardian Kay'est" (1000/1800) in Attack Position, "Gravity Axe - Grarl" (equipped to "Guardian Grarl"),"Rod Of Silence - Kay'est (equipped to "Backup Gardna") "Guardian Treasure", "Purity of the Cemetery", and "Crystal Seal".
  
*Since "[[Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight]]'s" [[ATK]] was changed by a Card [[effect]], "[[Crystal Seal]]" is [[Destroy]]ed, but because "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" is now on the same side of the [[Field]] as a Card which was [[Summon]]ed by "[[The Eye of Timaeus]]", "[[Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight]]" is Destroyed and "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" is returned to the field (2000 > 2500 [[ATK]] / 1700 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]]. (Yami goes into a fit of rage, further deepening his Dark, but thinks that he still can Summon up to 10 Monsters.)
+
<u>'''Turn 10: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
 +
[[Yami Yugi]] has just [[activate]]d "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]". From now on, all of Yami Yugi's [[Monster Card|monster]]s will gain 500 [[ATK]] and the loser of this [[Duel]] will lose his/her soul ("[[Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight (anime)|Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight]]": 2600 → 3100/1700).  
  
*Activates "[[Hand Control]]": Yami Yugi [[Declare]]s "[[Necromancy]]" and guesses right, forcing [[Rafael]] to activate it immediately. (Rafael had already guessed which Card he wanted to use, so he simply says: "Use it, Yugi".) Rafael's hand is shown to contain "[[Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou]]", "[[Kishido Spirit]]", "[[Aid to the Doomed]]", "[[Rod of the Mind's Eye]]", "Necromancy", and "Monster Rebirth".
+
Since the ATK of "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" was changed by a card [[effect]], "[[Crystal Seal]]" is destroyed, but because "The Seal of Orichalcos" was activated and "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" was [[Summon]]ed by "[[The Eye of Timaeus (anime)|Eye of Timaeus]]", "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" is destroyed and "[[Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]]" is returned to the field (2000 → 2500/1700) in [[Attack Position]].
  
*"[[Big Shield Gardna]]" (100 > 600 [[ATK]] / 2600 [[DEF]]), "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" (1500 > 2000 [[ATK]] / 1200 [[DEF]]), "[[Berfomet]]" (1400 > 1900 [[ATK]] / 1800 [[DEF]]) and "[[Kuribabylon]]" (? [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]) are [[Special Summon]]ed on Yami Yugi's side of the Field in [[Defense Position]].  
+
Yami Yugi then activates "[[Hand Control]]" and declares "[[Necromancy]]". Since Yami Yugi guessed right, [[Rafael]] is forced to activate "Necromancy" immediately; "[[Big Shield Gardna (anime)|Big Shield Gardna]]" (100 600/2600), "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (anime)|Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" (1500 2000/1200), "[[Berfomet (anime)|Berfomet]]" (1400 1900/1800) and "[[Kuribabylon (anime)|Kuribabylon]]" (?/200) are [[Special Summon]]ed to Yami Yugi's side of the Field in [[Defense Position]]. With the effect of "The Seal of Orichalcos", Yami Yugi places his newly Summoned monsters in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]].
  
*Yami Yugi places them in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]], (thanks to "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]", Yami Yugi can use his [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] as an added [[Monster Card Zone]]) meaning they can't be [[attack]]ed until Yami Yugi's first-row monsters are Destroyed first. If a Monster [[Special Summon]]ed by "[[Necromancy]]" is Destroyed, all of Yami's Monsters will lose 600 [[ATK]].
+
Rafael's hand is shown to contain "[[Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou (anime)|Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou]]", "[[Kishido Spirit (anime)|Kishido Spirit]]", "[[Aid to the Doomed]]", "[[Rod of the Mind's Eye (anime)|Rod of the Mind's Eye]]", and "Monster Rebirth". Yami Yugi [[Tribute]]s "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "Berfomet" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]" (2500 → 3000/2100) in [[Attack Position]]. Yami Yugi places "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl" in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]].
  
*"[[Kuribabylon]]'s" [[ATK]] is the sum of the [[ATK]] of all 5 [[Kuriboh (series)|Kuriboh Brothers]]. Since Yami [[Summon]]ed "[[Kuribabylon]]" without [[banish|removing from play]] the 5 Kuriboh Brothers, the ATK of "Kuribabylon" is 0 ("Kuribabylon": ? > 0 > 500 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]).
+
Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Kuribabylon" to [[Banish|remove it from play]] and [[Special Summon]] the five Kuriboh Brothers, "[[Kuriboh (anime)|Kuriboh]]", "[[Kuribah (anime)|Kuribah]]", "[[Kuribee (anime)|Kuribee]]", "[[Kuribeh (anime)|Kuribeh]]" and "[[Kuriboo (anime)|Kuriboo]]" (300 → 800/200 for all) that are removed from play to the field in [[Attack Position]]. Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Kuribah" to remove from play "Kuriboh", "Kuribah", "Kuribee", "Kuribeh" and "Kuriboo" and [[Special Summon]] "Kuribabylon", whose [[ATK]] becomes the combined ATK of the five monsters (? → 4000 → 4500/200).  
  
*[[Tribute]]s "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" and "[[Berfomet]]" to [[summon]] "[[Dark Magician]]" (2500 > 3000 [[ATK]] / 2100 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]]. Yami places it in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]].
+
"Kuribabylon" attacks and destroys "[[Guardian Grarl (anime)|Guardian Grarl]]" ([[Rafael]] 3000 → 1500). "[[Purity of the Cemetery]]" is destroyed due to its last effect. "Dark Magician" attacks "[[Backup Gardna (anime)|Backup Gardna]]", but Rafael activates the effect of "[[Aid to the Doomed]]" from his [[hand]], [[discard]]ing two Cards from his hand ("Kishido Spirit" and "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou") to end the current turn immediately since one of his monsters has been destroyed in battle this [[turn]].
  
*[[Battle Position|Switches]] "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" from the [[Monster Card Zone]] to the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]].
+
<u>'''Turn 11: Rafael'''</u><br />
 +
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael activates "[[Monster Reincarnation (anime)|Monster Reincarnation]]" to take "Guardian Grarl" from his [[Graveyard]] and return it to his [[Main Deck|Deck]]. Rafael then [[Set]]s a Card. He then activates "[[Swords of Revealing Light (anime)|Swords of Revealing Light]]" to prevent [[Yami Yugi]] from attacking for three [[turn]]s and forcing all of Yami Yugi's monsters to be face-up while "Swords of Revealing Light" is active.
  
*Activates "[[Kuribabylon]]'s" [[effect]], Removing it from the Game to [[Special Summon]] the 5 [[Kuriboh (series)|Kuriboh Brothers]]: "[[Kuriboh]]", "[[Kuriba]]", "[[Kuribi]]", "[[Kuribe]]" and "[[Kuribu]]" (300 > 800 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]) from the Removed from Play Zone to the field in [[Attack Position]].
+
<u>'''Turn 12: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
 +
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", [[Yami Yugi]] cannot attack (3 more [[turn]]s). Yami Yugi draws "[[Catapult Turtle (later anime)|Catapult Turtle]]". He then [[Tribute]]s "Big Shield Gardna" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "Catapult Turtle" (1000 → 1500/2000) in [[Attack Position]]. Yami places it in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]]. Yami Yugi plans to activate the effect of "Catapult Turtle", but [[Rafael]] activates his face-down "[[Limit Tribute]]". While "Limit Tribute" is face-up, both players can only Tribute one [[Monster Card|monster]] per turn.
  
*Activates "Kuriba's" effect, Removing from play "[[Kuriboh]]", "[[Kuriba]]", "[[Kuribi]]", "[[Kuribe]]" and "[[Kuribu]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Kuribabylon]]" (? [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]]:
+
<u>'''Turn 13: Rafael'''</u><br />
 +
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael's hand contains "Rod of Mind's Eye", "[[Morale Boost (anime)|Morale Boost]]", and "[[Nightmare Binding]]". Rafael activates "Nightmare Binding" to decrease the [[ATK]] of Yami Yugi's "Kuribabylon" by 800 ("Kuribabylon": 4500 → 3700/200) and increase Rafael's Life Points by 800 ([[Rafael]] 1500 → 2300). Due to the effect of "Nightmare Binding", "Kuribabylon" cannot activate its effects or be Tributed while it is on the field.
  
*The ATK of "Kuribabylon" is the sum of the [[ATK]] of all 5 Kuriboh Brothers, i.e. 800 × 5 = 4000 ("Kuribabylon": ? > 4000 > 4500 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]).
+
<u>'''Turn 14: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
 +
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", [[Yami Yugi]] cannot [[attack]] (2 more [[turn]]s). Yami Yugi draws "[[Beast of Gilfer (anime)|Beast of Gilfer]]". Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to Tribute "Dark Magician" and inflict half its [[ATK]] as [[damage]] to [[Rafael]] ([[Rafael]] 2300 → 800). Since "Dark Magician" is now in the [[Graveyard]], the ATK of "Dark Magician Girl" increases by 300 due to its own effect ("Dark Magician Girl": 2500 → 2800/1700).
  
*Uses "Kuribabylon" to Attack & Destroy "[[Guardian Grarl]]" ([[Rafael]]: 3000 > 1500 [[Life Points]]).  
+
<u>'''Turn 15: Rafael'''</u><br />
 +
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael [[Set]]s a Card.  
  
*Since there is a Monster in Rafael's [[Graveyard]], "[[Purity of the Cemetery]]" is Destroyed.
+
<u>'''Turn 16: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
 +
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", [[Yami Yugi]] cannot attack (1 more [[turn]]). Yami Yugi draws. Yami Yugi then [[activate]]s the effect of "Catapult Turtle" by Tributing "Dark Magician Girl", but Rafael activates his face-down "[[Shrink (later anime)|Shrink]]" to halve the [[ATK]] of "Dark Magician Girl" for one turn ("Dark Magician Girl": 2800 → 1400/1700). The effect of "Catapult Turtle" continues ([[Rafael]] 800 → 100). Yami Yugi intends to Summon another monster next turn, so he can use the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to deplete the remainder of Rafael's Life Points.
  
*Uses "[[Dark Magician]]" to attack "[[Backup Gardna]]".
+
<u>'''Turn 17: Rafael'''</u><br />
 +
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card ("Celestial Sword - Eatos" and "[[Guardian Eatos (anime)|Guardian Eatos]]"). Rafael then activates "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos (anime)|Celestial Sword - Eatos]]", equipping it to "Backup Gardna" and increasing the [[ATK]] of "Backup Gardna" by 300 ("Backup Gardna": 500 → 800/2700). Since "Celestial Sword - Eatos" is on the [[field]] and there are no [[Monster Card|monster]]s in his [[Graveyard]], [[Rafael]] [[Special Summon]]s "Guardian Eatos" (2500/2000) from his hand in [[Attack Position]] via its own effect. Rafael then activates the effect of "Backup Gardna", unequipping its "Celestial Sword - Eatos" and equipping it to "Guardian Eatos" instead ("Backup Gardna": 800 → 500/2700; "Guardian Eatos": 2500 → 2800/2000).  
  
*Rafael Activates "[[Aid to the Doomed]]": Since 1 of his Monsters has been [[Destroyed by Battle]] this [[Turn]], he can Activate "[[Aid to the Doomed]]" from his [[Hand]], [[Discard]]ing 2 Cards from his [[Hand]]("[[Kishido Spirit]]" and "[[Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou]]") to end the current turn immediately.
+
Rafael then activates the second effect of "Guardian Eatos" to [[send]] "Celestial Sword Eatos" to his [[Graveyard]] ("Guardian Eatos": 2800 → 2500/2000) and [[Banish|remove from play]] monsters from Yami Yugi's Graveyard until he reaches a Magic or Trap Card. After that, the second effect of "Guardian Eatos" will increase its ATK by the ATK of the removed monsters. Through the second effect of "Guardian Eatos", Rafael removes from play "Dark Magician Girl", "Dark Magician", "Big Shield Gardna", "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "Berfomet" ("Guardian Eatos": 2500 → 10000/2000). "Guardian Eatos" [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "Kuribabylon" (for dramatic effect, "Catapult Turtle" is also shown being destroyed by the attack) ([[Yami Yugi]] 600 → 0).
  
==Rafael's Turn==
+
==Epilogue==
*Rafael draws.
+
"[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" claims the loser's soul. As its energy is about to engulf [[Yami Yugi]], [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] uses the [[Millennium Puzzle]] to break the "The Seal of Orichalcos" and subsequently pushes Yami Yugi out of the way at the last second, sacrificing his soul to save Yami Yugi's.
**Thanks to the Effect of his "[[Guardian Treasure]]", Rafael Draws one extra Card.
 
  
*[[Activate]]s "[[Monster Reincarnation|Monster Rebirth]]": [[Rafael]] takes "[[Guardian Grarl]]" from his [[Graveyard]] and [[Shuffle]]s it back into his [[Deck]]
+
==Trivia==
 
+
* When Yami Yugi splits "Kuribabylon" into the five Kuriboh brothers, he has 8 monsters on the field; the most amount of monsters that are on the field at the same time in any series so far. (He would have had 9 if he'd summoned "Dark Magician" after "Kuribabylon" instead of before.)
*[[Set]]s a Card.
 
 
 
*Activates "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]", preventing [[Yami Yugi|Yami]] from attacking for 3 [[Turn]]s and forcing all of Yami's monster to be face-up while "Swords of Revealing Light" is active.
 
 
 
==Yami Yugi's Turn==
 
*Due to "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]", [[Yami Yugi|Yami]] cannot attack (3 more [[Turn]]s).
 
 
 
*Draws "Catapult Turtle".
 
 
 
*[[Tribute]]s "[[Big Shield Gardna]]" to [[Summon]] "[[Catapult Turtle]]" (1000 > 1500 [[ATK]] / 2000 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]]. Yami places it in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]].
 
 
 
*[[Rafael]] [[Activate]]s "[[Limit Tribute]]". While this card is face-up, both Players can only Tribute 1 [[Monster]] per Turn, which prevents Yami from using "Catapult Turtle"'s effect this turn.
 
 
 
==Rafael's Turn==
 
*Rafael draws.
 
**Thanks to the Effect of his "[[Guardian Treasure]]", Rafael Draws one extra Card.
 
 
 
*Rafael's hand contains "[[Rod of the Mind's Eye]]", "[[Morale Boost]]", and "[[Nightmare Binding]]".
 
 
 
*[[Activate]]s "[[Nightmare Binding]]": The [[ATK]] of Yugi's "[[Kuribabylon]]" is decreased by 800 ("[[Kuribabylon]]": 4500 > 3700 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]), it cannot be [[tribute]]d and [[Rafael]] gains 800 LP ([[Rafael]]: 1500 > 2300 [[Life Points]]).
 
 
 
==Yami Yugi's Turn==
 
*Due to "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]", [[Yami Yugi|Yami]] cannot [[Attack]] (2 more [[Turn]]s).
 
 
 
*Draws "[[Archfiend of Gilfer]]".
 
 
 
*[[Activate]]s "[[Catapult Turtle]]'s" [[Effect]]: Yami [[Tribute]]s "[[Dark Magician]]" to inflict half its [[ATK]] as [[Damage]] to [[Rafael]], i.e. 3000/2 = 1500 ([[Rafael]]: 2300 > 800 [[Life Points]]).
 
 
 
*Since "[[Dark Magician]]" is now in the [[Graveyard]], "[[Dark Magician Girl]]'s" [[ATK]] increases by 300 ("[[Dark Magician Girl]]": 2500 > 2800 [[ATK]] / 1700 [[DEF]]).
 
 
 
==Rafael's Turn==
 
*Rafael draws.
 
**Thanks to the Effect of his "[[Guardian Treasure]]", Rafael Draws one extra Card.
 
 
 
*[[Set]]s a Card.
 
 
 
==Yami Yugi's Turn==
 
*Due to "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]", [[Yami Yugi|Yami]] cannot [[Attack]] (1 more [[Turn]]).
 
 
 
*Yami draws.
 
 
 
*[[Activate]]s "[[Catapult Turtle]]'s" [[Effect]]: Yami [[Tribute]]s "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" to inflict half its [[ATK]] as [[Damage]] to [[Rafael]], i.e. 2800/2 = 1400.
 
 
 
*Rafael activates "[[Shrink]]", reducing "[[Dark Magician Girl]]'s" [[ATK]] in half ("[[Dark Magician Girl]]": 2800 > 1400 [[ATK]] / 1700 [[DEF]]).  
 
 
 
*The [[Damage]] Rafael takes is  1400/2 = 700 ([[Rafael]]: 800 > 100 [[Life Points]]).
 
 
 
*(NOTE: In the real game, the timing of [[Rafael]]'s move would be wrong: Due to "[[Catapult Turtle]]'s" [[effect]], "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" would already be in [[Yami Yugi|Yami]]'s [[Graveyard]] at this point. Rafael could have [[Activate]]d "[[Shrink]]" before [[Yami Yugi]] [[Tribute]]d "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" for "[[Catapult Turtle]]'s" effect).
 
  
==Rafael's Turn==
+
* Later on [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 159|in the next episode]], [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] was shocked to find out that Yugi lost his championship title to Rafael, but this episode's Duel shouldn't have counted because it didn't take place in a tournament.
*Rafael draws.
 
**Thanks to the Effect of his "[[Guardian Treasure]]", Rafael Draws one extra Card (The two cards he just drew were "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]" and "[[Guardian Eatos]]").
 
  
*[[Activate]]s "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]", equipping it to "Backup Gardna" and increasing the [[ATK]] of "[[Backup Gardna]]" by 300 ("[[Backup Gardna]]": 500 > 800 [[ATK]] / 2700 [[DEF]]).
+
* It's interesting to note that when Yami Yugi is under the influence of "The Seal of Orichalcos", he heartlessly sacrifices his own monsters to inflict direct damage to his opponent - the exact same strategy he criticized [[Arkana]] for using in their Duel in Battle City. Also like Arkana, Yami Yugi loses when the presence of monsters in his Graveyard allows an opposing monster to increase its own ATK.
  
*Since "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]" is on the [[Field]] and since there are no [[Monster]]s in his [[Graveyard]], [[Rafael]] Activates "[[Guardian Eatos]]'s" [[Effect]] and [[Special Summon]]s it to the Field from his [[Hand]] in [[Attack Position]] (2500 [[ATK]] / 2000 [[DEF]]).
+
==Differences in adaptations==
 
+
* In the Japanese version, when Weevil and Rex grab hold of the helicopter ladder, Rafael looks down and pulls out a knife that was concealed in his boot. He was about to cut the section of the ladder below him to kill Weevil and Rex from falling, but they plead him not to and frantically ask him to let them join Doma. He thinks for a minute, and then puts the knife back in his boot. Weevil and Rex breathe a sigh of relief. In the dub, Rafael looks down and says "Oh, great" in obvious annoyance, then the episode immediately cuts to Weevil and Rex sighing for relief, omitting Weevil and Rex's pleading not to kill them and let them join.
*Activates "[[Backup Gardna]]'s" Effect, unequipping "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]" and equipping it to "[[Guardian Eatos]]" instead ("[[Backup Gardna]]": 800 > 500 [[ATK]] / 2700 [[DEF]]) ("[[Guardian Eatos]]": 2500 > 2800 [[ATK]] / 2000 [[DEF]]).
 
 
 
*Activates "[[Guardian Eatos]]'" Second Effect, [[Send]]ing "[[Celestial Sword - Eatos]]" to his [[Graveyard]] ("[[Guardian Eatos]]": 2800 > 2500 [[ATK]] / 2000 [[DEF]]) in order to [[Target]] [[Yami Yugi|Yami]]'s [[Graveyard]] and Remove "[[Dark Magician Girl]]", "[[Dark Magician]]", "[[Big Shield Gardna]]", "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" and "[[Berfomet]]" from play.
 
 
 
*"[[Guardian Eatos]]'" [[ATK]] increases by the combined [[ATK]] of the removed [[monster]]s (2000 + 2500 + 100 + 1500 + 1400 = 7500) ("[[Guardian Eatos]]": 2500 > 10000 [[ATK]] / 2000 [[DEF]]).
 
 
 
*(NOTE: In the real game, "[[Guardian Eatos]]"'s [[effect]] only allows 3 [[monster]]s to be removed this way, with a gain of only + 500 [[ATK]] for each one of them).
 
 
 
*Uses "[[Guardian Eatos]]" to [[attack]] and [[destroy]] "[[Kuribabylon]]" ([[Yami Yugi|Yami]]: 600 > 0 [[Life Points]]).
 
 
 
*Rafael wins.
 
 
 
*[[Yugi Muto|Yugi]], at this point, uses all the power of his [[Millennium Puzzle]] and breaks the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos|Seal]]".
 
 
 
==Epilogue==
 
"[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" claims the loser's soul. As its energy is about to engulf [[Yami Yugi|the Pharaoh]], [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] uses the [[Millennium Puzzle]] to break the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" and pushes Yami Yugi out of the way, sacrificing his soul to save Yami Yugi's. Due to this loss, Yugi also loses his title as "King of Duelists" prompting [[Seto Kaiba]] to refuse to aid him until [[KaibaCorp|his company]] is stolen by [[Doma]].
 
 
 
==Trivia==
 
* When Yami splits "Kuribabylon" into the five Kuriboh brothers, he has 8 monsters on the field; the most amount of monsters that are on the field at the same time in any series so far. (He would have had 9 if he'd summoned "Dark Magician" after "Kuribabylon" instead of before.)

Rafael's Ultimate Trap[edit]

  • Rafael's plan hinged on defeating the Pharaoh and having him lose his soul via "The Seal of Orichalcos"; had the Seal not been played, Yugi would still lose, but his and Yami Yugi's souls would've been safe and Rafael's efforts would be ultimately futile.

Engulfed by the Dark[edit]

  • When Yami Yugi's friends arrive, Joey demands Weevil Underwood to know why Yami has the 'crest' on his forehead and Rex Raptor says that big muscle man, referring to Rafael gave him the card and Yami activated the seal.
  • When Yami Yugi uses "Catapult Turtle" to tribute his monsters in a selfish attempt to win, Joey claims he can't recognize him anymore: that's not the Yugi he knew.
  • Yami Yugi loses the Duel, but before the seal can take his soul, Yugi breaks out of his imprisonment via the Millennium Puzzle and pushes Yami Yugi out of the way at the last second in order to let the seal take his soul instead (as the seal can only take one soul at a time).
  • Rafael, unaware of what actually happened, and Alister depart the area in a chopper but not before returning Yami Yugi to the others. Rafael announces that he'll soon come after Joey.
  • After Rafael and Alister leave, Yami Yugi wakes up and cries in regret and frustration upon the loss of Yugi.

Featured Duel: Rafael vs. Yami Yugi - Part 3[edit]

Duel continues from previous episode.

Yami Yugi has 600 Life Points remaining and controls "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" (2600/1700) in Attack Position and "The Seal of Orichalcos".

Rafael has 3000 Life Points remaining and controls "Guardian Grarl" (3000/1000) in Attack Position, "Backup Gardna" (500/2700) in Defense Position, "Guardian Kay'est" (1000/1800) in Attack Position, "Gravity Axe - Grarl" (equipped to "Guardian Grarl"),"Rod Of Silence - Kay'est (equipped to "Backup Gardna") "Guardian Treasure", "Purity of the Cemetery", and "Crystal Seal".

Turn 10: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi has just activated "The Seal of Orichalcos". From now on, all of Yami Yugi's monsters will gain 500 ATK and the loser of this Duel will lose his/her soul ("Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight": 2600 → 3100/1700).

Since the ATK of "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" was changed by a card effect, "Crystal Seal" is destroyed, but because "The Seal of Orichalcos" was activated and "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" was Summoned by "Eye of Timaeus", "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" is destroyed and "Dark Magician Girl" is returned to the field (2000 → 2500/1700) in Attack Position.

Yami Yugi then activates "Hand Control" and declares "Necromancy". Since Yami Yugi guessed right, Rafael is forced to activate "Necromancy" immediately; "Big Shield Gardna" (100 → 600/2600), "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" (1500 → 2000/1200), "Berfomet" (1400 → 1900/1800) and "Kuribabylon" (?/200) are Special Summoned to Yami Yugi's side of the Field in Defense Position. With the effect of "The Seal of Orichalcos", Yami Yugi places his newly Summoned monsters in the Spell & Trap Card Zone.

Rafael's hand is shown to contain "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou", "Kishido Spirit", "Aid to the Doomed", "Rod of the Mind's Eye", and "Monster Rebirth". Yami Yugi Tributes "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "Berfomet" in order to Tribute Summon "Dark Magician" (2500 → 3000/2100) in Attack Position. Yami Yugi places "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl" in the Spell & Trap Card Zone.

Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Kuribabylon" to remove it from play and Special Summon the five Kuriboh Brothers, "Kuriboh", "Kuribah", "Kuribee", "Kuribeh" and "Kuriboo" (300 → 800/200 for all) that are removed from play to the field in Attack Position. Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Kuribah" to remove from play "Kuriboh", "Kuribah", "Kuribee", "Kuribeh" and "Kuriboo" and Special Summon "Kuribabylon", whose ATK becomes the combined ATK of the five monsters (? → 4000 → 4500/200).

"Kuribabylon" attacks and destroys "Guardian Grarl" (Rafael 3000 → 1500). "Purity of the Cemetery" is destroyed due to its last effect. "Dark Magician" attacks "Backup Gardna", but Rafael activates the effect of "Aid to the Doomed" from his hand, discarding two Cards from his hand ("Kishido Spirit" and "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou") to end the current turn immediately since one of his monsters has been destroyed in battle this turn.

Turn 11: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael activates "Monster Reincarnation" to take "Guardian Grarl" from his Graveyard and return it to his Deck. Rafael then Sets a Card. He then activates "Swords of Revealing Light" to prevent Yami Yugi from attacking for three turns and forcing all of Yami Yugi's monsters to be face-up while "Swords of Revealing Light" is active.

Turn 12: Yami Yugi
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", Yami Yugi cannot attack (3 more turns). Yami Yugi draws "Catapult Turtle". He then Tributes "Big Shield Gardna" in order to Tribute Summon "Catapult Turtle" (1000 → 1500/2000) in Attack Position. Yami places it in the Spell & Trap Card Zone. Yami Yugi plans to activate the effect of "Catapult Turtle", but Rafael activates his face-down "Limit Tribute". While "Limit Tribute" is face-up, both players can only Tribute one monster per turn.

Turn 13: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael's hand contains "Rod of Mind's Eye", "Morale Boost", and "Nightmare Binding". Rafael activates "Nightmare Binding" to decrease the ATK of Yami Yugi's "Kuribabylon" by 800 ("Kuribabylon": 4500 → 3700/200) and increase Rafael's Life Points by 800 (Rafael 1500 → 2300). Due to the effect of "Nightmare Binding", "Kuribabylon" cannot activate its effects or be Tributed while it is on the field.

Turn 14: Yami Yugi
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", Yami Yugi cannot attack (2 more turns). Yami Yugi draws "Beast of Gilfer". Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to Tribute "Dark Magician" and inflict half its ATK as damage to Rafael (Rafael 2300 → 800). Since "Dark Magician" is now in the Graveyard, the ATK of "Dark Magician Girl" increases by 300 due to its own effect ("Dark Magician Girl": 2500 → 2800/1700).

Turn 15: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael Sets a Card.

Turn 16: Yami Yugi
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", Yami Yugi cannot attack (1 more turn). Yami Yugi draws. Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" by Tributing "Dark Magician Girl", but Rafael activates his face-down "Shrink" to halve the ATK of "Dark Magician Girl" for one turn ("Dark Magician Girl": 2800 → 1400/1700). The effect of "Catapult Turtle" continues (Rafael 800 → 100). Yami Yugi intends to Summon another monster next turn, so he can use the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to deplete the remainder of Rafael's Life Points.

Turn 17: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card ("Celestial Sword - Eatos" and "Guardian Eatos"). Rafael then activates "Celestial Sword - Eatos", equipping it to "Backup Gardna" and increasing the ATK of "Backup Gardna" by 300 ("Backup Gardna": 500 → 800/2700). Since "Celestial Sword - Eatos" is on the field and there are no monsters in his Graveyard, Rafael Special Summons "Guardian Eatos" (2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. Rafael then activates the effect of "Backup Gardna", unequipping its "Celestial Sword - Eatos" and equipping it to "Guardian Eatos" instead ("Backup Gardna": 800 → 500/2700; "Guardian Eatos": 2500 → 2800/2000).

Rafael then activates the second effect of "Guardian Eatos" to send "Celestial Sword Eatos" to his Graveyard ("Guardian Eatos": 2800 → 2500/2000) and remove from play monsters from Yami Yugi's Graveyard until he reaches a Magic or Trap Card. After that, the second effect of "Guardian Eatos" will increase its ATK by the ATK of the removed monsters. Through the second effect of "Guardian Eatos", Rafael removes from play "Dark Magician Girl", "Dark Magician", "Big Shield Gardna", "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "Berfomet" ("Guardian Eatos": 2500 → 10000/2000). "Guardian Eatos" attacks and destroys "Kuribabylon" (for dramatic effect, "Catapult Turtle" is also shown being destroyed by the attack) (Yami Yugi 600 → 0).

Epilogue[edit]

"The Seal of Orichalcos" claims the loser's soul. As its energy is about to engulf Yami Yugi, Yugi uses the Millennium Puzzle to break the "The Seal of Orichalcos" and subsequently pushes Yami Yugi out of the way at the last second, sacrificing his soul to save Yami Yugi's.

Trivia[edit]

  • When Yami Yugi splits "Kuribabylon" into the five Kuriboh brothers, he has 8 monsters on the field; the most amount of monsters that are on the field at the same time in any series so far. (He would have had 9 if he'd summoned "Dark Magician" after "Kuribabylon" instead of before.)
  • Later on in the next episode, Kaiba was shocked to find out that Yugi lost his championship title to Rafael, but this episode's Duel shouldn't have counted because it didn't take place in a tournament.
  • It's interesting to note that when Yami Yugi is under the influence of "The Seal of Orichalcos", he heartlessly sacrifices his own monsters to inflict direct damage to his opponent - the exact same strategy he criticized Arkana for using in their Duel in Battle City. Also like Arkana, Yami Yugi loses when the presence of monsters in his Graveyard allows an opposing monster to increase its own ATK.

Differences in adaptations[edit]

  • In the Japanese version, when Weevil and Rex grab hold of the helicopter ladder, Rafael looks down and pulls out a knife that was concealed in his boot. He was about to cut the section of the ladder below him to kill Weevil and Rex from falling, but they plead him not to and frantically ask him to let them join Doma. He thinks for a minute, and then puts the knife back in his boot. Weevil and Rex breathe a sigh of relief. In the dub, Rafael looks down and says "Oh, great" in obvious annoyance, then the episode immediately cuts to Weevil and Rex sighing for relief, omitting Weevil and Rex's pleading not to kill them and let them join.
