Notes

For the sake of brevity and dramatic effect, not every action/turn of the Duel is actually shown on screen in this episode.

Dartz's Sorcery & Visions.

• Yami is still frustrated with himself even after his meeting with Yuugi.
• Just then, Rafael reaches a nearby ledge and takes off his sunglasses to have a better look: Yami is there.
• Dartz enters the corporate building room from inside of a full-body mirror. Curiously enough, he switches from his usual tunic-like dress to business attire as soon as he steps through it. He calmly sits down on his chair and boots the LCD screen. The scenery Rafael is currently seeing is displayed over it. He smiles.

Dartz: "So. You are in there, then?"

Rafael: "This time, I shall capture the Nameless Pharaoh's soul!"

• He begins to slide down towards the valley but a ghostly fog rises up and coils around his right leg, stopping him.

Rafael: "W-what the hell is this!?"

Dartz: "Stop it, Rafael. That is the nest of the Grim Reaper. It is not a place for someone like you to set their feet into. Throw the fragment of Oreichalcos into that ground."

Rafael: "Yes, my lord! Hah!"

• Rafael throws the fragment and it mysteriously vanishes. Dartz closes his eyes and begins chanting one of his spells in Ancient Greek. A purplish aura surrounds him and the Oreichalcos fragment seems to energize.

• • Soon enough, the ground shakes and some kind of thunderbolts begin falling down. Yami stands up, startled. A crevice opens in the ground and a tall Monster emerges. It rather looks like some kind of warrior.

Yami: "W-what the hell is this thing!?"

Rafael: "That's Dartz - sama's...!"

Dartz: "Oreichalcos Soldier, bring down the Nameless Pharaoh!"

• • Some spirits circle around Yami, who begins seeing a strange vision displaying thousands of these same Monsters. The Oreichalcos Soldier looms over Yami.

Dartz: "Heh, heh... Oreichalcos."

• Dartz magically Engages a "Seal of Oreichalcos", trapping Yami and the Soldier. The Soldier deploys something akin to a Duel Disk and Activates one slot, summoning a Duel Monster.

Dartz: "Oreichalcos Gigas, bury the Nameless Pharaoh!"

• A Duel between Yami and the Soldier begins.

• Summons "Orichalcos Gigas" (400 → 900 ATK / 1500 DEF) in Attack Position.
• Uses "Orichalcos Gigas" to attack Yami directly, but the lost spirits of Atlantis circle around Yami to protect him (NOTE: In the real game, this would be considered an illegal move, since the Oreichalcos Soldier went first).

• Oreichalcos Soldier Activates "Orichalcos Gigas'" Special Effect, skipping his next Draw Phase to Special Summon his Monster back with a +500 ATK boost ("Orichalcos Gigas": 900 → 1400 ATK / 1500 DEF).

• Activates Spell Card "Fissure", Destroying "Orichalcos Gigas".
• Oreichalcos Soldier Activates "Orichalcos Gigas's" Special Effect, skipping his next Draw Phase to Special Summon his Monster back with a further +500 ATK boost ("Orichalcos Gigas": 1900 → 2400 ATK / 1500 DEF).

Oreichalcos Soldier's Turn

• Uses "Orichalcos Gigas" to Attack & Destroy Yami's "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast" (Yami: 4000 → 3700 Life Points). This allows Yami to Activate "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast's" Special Effect, choosing to Special Summon "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" (1500 ATK / 1200 DEF) in Attack Position.

Yami's Turn

• Yami passes, and is shown another vision of the ancient battle of the Stone Wastelands and how Timaeus got that scar on his eye due to Dartz throwing a sword there.

Oreichalcos Soldier's Turn

• Uses "Orichalcos Gigas" to Attack Yami's "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian": Yami's Monster cannot be destroyed in battle when battling monsters with 1900 ATK or more, and Yami discards "Kuriboh" from his Hand to negate Battle Damage.

Yami's Turn

• Ironheart, Chris, and Skye sacrifice themselves (struck down by Dartz's thunder, who'd named them "bothersome ghosts of the past") to give "The Eye of Timaeus" back to Yami.
• Tributes "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian" to Summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000 ATK / 1700 DEF) in Attack Position.
