Major Events

• Alister has ambushed Seto and Mokuba on their KaibaCorp private plane, forcing Seto into a Duel.
• Mokuba calls for a KaibaCorp helicopter to bail them out, and when it arrives, it instantly reminds Alister of the war helicopters that attacked his town and killed his brother. His resulting rage, powered by his Seal of Orichalcos, creates a shockwave that causes the plane to malfunction.
• Hearing Alister's vow to break apart the world and rebuild a world without wars, Seto mutters, "You really are a lost little dog," and asks his opponent if that means he would also be willing to destroy all the families in the world to reach the image he wants.
• Seto summons his Blue-Eyes White Dragon and combines it with a Trap to counter the attack of Alister's ace monster, "Air Fortress Ziggurat." Even though Alister still has multiple defense monsters, he sees that Seto stands a chance of escaping his revenge yet again, and he toys with the idea of not ending his turn until the plane crashes, killing them together.
• Mokuba returns from the cockpit to the duel site, and both opponents realize that more is on the line than their own lives. Seto declares to Alister that, if their roles were switched, he would not let his brother die. Alister sees Seto's devotion and ends his turn, challenging Seto to end this in one turn.
• Seto answers this by drawing The Fang of Critias, fusing it with all of his remaining cards to summon a dragon that destroys all of Alister's monsters and Life Points at once.

Notes

• During this episode, Seto activates "Junk Dealer" in Alister's Graveyard thanks to the effect of "Magical Trick Mirror", and Special Summons "Judge Man" back from his own Graveyard. In the English anime, probably due to a mistake in translation, Seto declares "Judge Man" comes back in Defense Position to protect [Seto's] Life Points. However this is clearly not the case, as when Alister's "Air Fortress Ziggurat" attacks "Judge Man" Seto is shown to lose 1900 LP in Battle Damage, bringing his total to 100 Life Points.

Duel continues from previous episode.

• Activates Spell Card "Junk Dealer" to Special Summon "Science Soldier" and "Cyber Soldier of Darkworld" with half their original ATK but still getting the +500 ATK boost from "The Seal of Orichalcos" ("Science Soldier": 800 → 400 → 900 ATK / 800 DEF) ("Cyber Soldier of Darkworld": 1400 → 700 → 1200 ATK / 1400 DEF).
• Summons "Kinetic Soldier" (1350 → 1850 ATK / 1800 DEF) in Attack Position.
• Activates Trap Card "Soldier Revolt", sending every card in Seto's hand & side of the field to the Graveyard.
• Activates Spell Card "Sky Union", tributing "Science Soldier", "Cyber Soldier of Darkworld", and "Kinetic Soldier" to Special Summon "Air Fortress Ziggurat" (2500 → 3000 ATK / 2000 DEF).
• Activates "Air Fortress Ziggurat's" special ability to Special Summon a "Robot Token" (0 → 500 ATK / 0 DEF) in Defense Position.
• Due to "Soldier Revolt's" effect Alister cannot conduct a Battle Phase this turn, so he ends his turn.

• "Air Fortress Ziggurat" attacks & destroys Seto's "Judge Man" (Seto: 2000 → 100 Life Points).

• Tributes a "Robot Token" to Summon "Spell Canceller" (1800 → 2300 ATK / 1600 DEF) in Attack Position.
• Uses "Air Fortress Ziggurat" to attack "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", but Seto activates Trap Card "Tyrant Wing", boosting his monster's attack by +400 ("Blue-Eyes White Dragon": 3000 → 3400 ATK / 2500 DEF). "Air Fortress Ziggurat" is destroyed (Alister: 1400 → 1000 Life Points).

Seto Kaiba's Turn

• Activates "The Fang of Critias", fusing it with "Tyrant Wing" to Summon "Tyrant Burst Dragon" (3200 ATK / 3000 DEF). Seto then fuses "Tyrant Burst Dragon" with "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to form "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon" (3400 ATK / 2500 DEF).
• Uses "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon's special ability to attack all of Alister's monsters at once (Alister: 1000 → 0 Life Points). Seto wins.

Epilogue

• "The Seal of Orichalcos" claims Alister's soul. Moments before falling, he smiles to look at Mokuba, seeing instead the brother that he protected so long ago.
• Kaiba rushes to the cockpit, determined to keep his promise to Alister of protecting his own brother. The three Legendary Dragons Timaeus, Hermos, and Critias appear and bear the plane's weight into a safe landing. Tristan, Joey, Tea, and Yami see this happen from not far away and rush to the scene.
