Changes

Although the emergence of "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" interfered with his plan, Kaiba remained confident he would win.<ref name="d d 201" /> He suspected Dark Yugi would try to outlast him by playing in Defense Mode and in preparation Set "[[Final Attack Orders (manga)|Final Attack Orders]]" and "[[Polymerization (manga)|Polymerization]]".<ref name="d d 202">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|202|ref}}</ref> Upon familiarizing himself with the recent happenings, Jonouchi insisted that he and his friends go to the Duel Tower to support Dark Yugi.<ref name="d d 202" /> '''Turn 19: Dark Yugi''' Dark Yugi drew "[[Double Spell (manga)|Double Spell]]" and Set it along with another card.<ref name="d d 202" /> Dark Yugi switched "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" to Defense Mode, but Kaiba activated "Final Attack Orders", forcing all monsters into [[Attack Position|Attack Mode]]. Its other effect caused each player to send all but three cards of their choosing to their Graveyards. Kaiba affirmed that he did not need three turns to win, but Dark Yugi could place his futile hope in the cards he choose. "Monster Reborn" was among the cards chosen by Kaiba. Wondering what cards Kaiba choose, Dark Yugi noted that he had not played "Monster Reborn" yet and worried that he could have it and "Polymerization".<ref name="d d 202" /> '''Turn 20: Kaiba''' Kaiba confirmed Dark Yugi's suspicions and used "Monster Reborn" to revive the destroyed "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and used his face-down "Polymerization" to fuse it with the other two, forming "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (manga)|Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]". Dark Marik believed that this to meant Kaiba would win. He had not expected that outcome before, but resigned that it did not matter, since he planned on killing both players, regardless of who won.<ref name="d d 202" /> Kaiba claimed that he was about to defeat Dark Yugi and achieve something great, which was not something as simple as revenge. He said that had fought through Battle City to find out why he was fixated on defeating Dark Yugi and had finally found the answer. Unlike Dark Yugi, who was in pursuit of the past, Kaiba's stated that his past was filled with hatred and anger. In order to pave his future future, he planned on stamping out the past, including Dark Yugi, whom he considered to be a creature of the past. [[Mokuba Kaiba (manga)|Mokuba]] worried that if Kaiba forgot about the past, he might forget the smile he showed him long ago.<ref name="d d 202" /> Dark Yugi replied that Kaiba was one of the few people he recognized as a Duelist, but he was a bit disappointed in him. Regardless of how much hatred or anger Kaiba had, he claimed that those things are not enough to beat him. He explained that like the Duel Tower standing on the rubble, Kaiba could pile hate on top of hate to reach the top, but will never find true victory this way; he will only wander forever seeking the next thing to hate.<ref name="d d 202" /> '''Turn 21: Dark Yugi''' Dark Yugi activated "[[Double Spell (manga)|Double Spell]]", allowing him to use the [[Spell Card]]s used by Kaiba this turn. He used "Monster Reborn" to revive "[[Buster Blader (manga)|Buster Blader]]" and "Polymerization" to fuse it with "Dark Magican", forming "[[Dark Paladin (manga)|Dark Paladin]]".<ref name="d d 202" />
