<u>'''Turn 9: Ghost Fake Kaiba'''</u><br/>
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon" attacks and destroys a "Hat".

When Ghost Fake Kaiba orders "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to attack, the real Seto Kaiba calls out to Yami Yugi, which he detects. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" hears it too, and it stops its attack and destroys itself because of the "[[Heart of the Cards]]", and because the person using it was not its real owner. At this point, Ghost Fake Kaiba reveals his true form, Mimic the Impersonator of DoomDeath.

==Differences in adaptations==
* Most of the text in the control room are erased or replaced with some kind of symbol.
* The flashback of Yugi Mind Crushing Kaiba from their first Duel is added to the dub.
* When Pegasus's goons storm Kaiba's computer room, the guns they are holding are removed in the dub.
* In the original, the Impersonator of Death suddenly appears as Pegasus and tells Yugi he's going to get it now. This sequence is removed from the dub.
* The Impersonator of Death's "Negate Attack" is changed to a Trap Card in the dub. In the original, it is a Magic Card.
* When Pegasus' wine glass shatters, he has wine on his hand, the wine on Pegasus' hand is erased from the dub.
==Errors==
* When Kaiba hacks into the dueling system to view Yugi's duel, the computer indicates that Yugi is just beginning his turn and has no cards on the field. However, the visual display shows that Yugi controls "Feral Imp" and "Magical Hats" on his field. At this point in the duel, the effect of "Magical Hats" should already have expired, and Yugi has yet to summon the "Feral Imp".
==Trivia==
* This is the last episode to feature [[Sam Riegel]] as [[Tristan Taylor]]. [[Greg Abbey]] replaces him for all episodes beyond this one.
* Despite "Mystic Horseman" being played in the Duel, it doesn't make an appearance at all.
* "Give up the ghost" is an idiom that basically means "to accept death". The use of this idiom as the episode's dub title is a reflection (in the dub) of how the Impersonator of Death, a shadow of Kaiba's dark side that was still able to Duel, was ultimately sent back to the Shadow Realm by Yugi.
* In the dub, after "[[Grappler (anime)|Grappler]]" is destroyed, the Impersonator of Death said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow", which is a reference to ''Romeo and Juliet''. This is also a pun, as "Grappler" had literally been parted in two.
