Major Events
- Yugi duels Rafael, 1 of Dartz's henchmen. He seeks to eliminate the Pharaoh.
- Rafael reveals a deck of Guardian monsters, which were his sole companions when he was shipwrecked on an island for years as a child, losing his parents, brother, and sister.
- He always kept his cards safe, and his current strategy reflects that bond -- he will pay any cost to keep his monsters out of the Graveyard.
- One of them, Guardian Eatos, was his birthday present just before the wreck.
- During the duel, Yami activates "The Seal of Orichalcos" (after Rafael had placed it in Yami's hand with "Exchange" and despite protests by Yugi), forcing him to put their souls at stake. What Yami realizes too late is that he sealed his own fate by playing that card.
- Yami loses the duel, but Yugi offers his soul in Yami's place.
Featured Duel: Rafael vs. Yami Yugi - Part 1

- Sets a monster.
- Sets a card.
Yami Yugi's Turn
- Activates Spell Card "Polymerization", sending "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "Berfomet" from his Hand to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast" from his Extra Deck in Attack Position (2100 ATK / 1800 DEF).
- Attacks Rafael's face-down monster with "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast": it's revealed to be "Backup Gardna" (500 ATK / 2200 DEF) (Yugi: 4000 → 3900 Life Points).
Rafael's Turn
- Thanks to the effect of his "Guardian Treasure", draws one extra card.
- Activates Equip Spell Card "Gravity Axe - Grarl", increasing the ATK of "Backup Gardna" by 500 ("Backup Gardna": 500 → 1000 ATK / 2200 DEF).
- Since "Gravity Axe - Grarl" is on the field and since "Guardian Grarl" is the only card left in his Hand, Rafael activates its effect and Special Summons (2500 ATK / 1000 DEF) it to the field from his hand in Attack Position.
- Activates "Backup Gardna's" effect, unequipping its "Gravity Axe - Grarl" and equipping it to "Guardian Grarl" instead ("Backup Gardna": 1000 → 500 ATK / 2200 DEF) ("Guardian Grarl": 2500 → 3000 ATK / 1000 DEF).
- Uses "Guardian Grarl" to attack & destroy Yugi's "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast" (Yugi: 3900 → 3000 Life Points).
- Upon its destruction, Yugi activates "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast's" effect, choosing to Special Summon "Berfomet" back to the field (1400 ATK / 1800 DEF) in Attack Position.
Yami Yugi's Turn
- Activates Spell Card "Five Star Twilight": since "Berfomet" is a Level 5 monster, Yugi can tribute it to Special Summon the 5 Kuriboh Brothers from his Deck: "Kuriboh", "Kuriba", "Kuribi", "Kuribe" and "Kuribu" in Attack Position (300 ATK / 200 DEF).
- Removes from play "Kuriboh", "Kuriba", "Kuribi", "Kuribe" and "Kuribu" to Special Summon "Kuribabylon" (? ATK / 200 DEF) from his Deck in Attack Position.
- "Kuribabylon's" ATK is the sum of the ATK of all 5 Kuriboh Brothers, i.e. 300 × 5 = 1500 ("Kuribabylon": ? → 1500 ATK / 200 DEF).
- Activates Spell Card "Pump Up", doubling "Kuribabylon's" ATK for 1 turn ("Kuribabylon": 1500 → 3000 ATK / 200 DEF).
- Uses "Kuribabylon" to attack Rafael's "Guardian Grarl"
- Rafael activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Rescuer from the Grave" directly from his Graveyard: he removes 5 cards from his Graveyard to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase.
- Activates "Kuribabylon's" effect, removing it from play to Special Summon the 5 Kuriboh Brothers from the removed from play zone: "Kuriboh", "Kuriba", "Kuribi", "Kuribe" and "Kuribu" in Attack Position (300 ATK / 200 DEF).
