"'''Winning Through Intimidation'''", known as "'''Cut through the Dark! Sealing Swords of Light'''" or "'''Rend the Darkness! Sealing Swords of Light'''" in the Japanese version, is the fifteenth episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime]].
 
When this episode first aired in the United States on ''Kids WB!'', it was merged with the previous episode, so the Duel took place in just one episode titled "'''PaniK Attack'''". In 2007, this episode was aired as two parts on ''4Kids TV'', like shown on the DVD.
 
==Summary==
Back at the [[Duel]], [[Yami Yugi]] and [[PaniK]] continue to exchange words. PaniK, trembling in fear, [[Summon]]s "[[King of Yamimakai]]" and [[attack]]s, but the attack is redirected to "[[Reaper of the Cards]]" and takes a huge chunk of PaniK's own [[Life Points]].
 
Yami Yugi [[activate]]s "[[Swords of Revealing Light (anime)|Swords of Revealing Light]]", revealing all of PaniK's [[Monster Card|monster]]s and preventing them from attacking for 3 [[turn]]s. PaniK counters with "[[Card Appearances:Yellow Luster Shield|Chaos Shield]]", [[Battle Position|switching]] all of his monsters to [[Defense Position]] and raising their [[DEF]].
 
Knowing that most of Yami Yugi's monsters are too weak to [[destroy]] his shield, PaniK demands he gives up, but Yami Yugi is not intimidated, claiming he knew PaniK's strategies the second he met him and that he walked right into his trap.
 
Yami Yugi summons "[[Catapult Turtle]]", launching "[[Gaia the Dragon Champion]]" at "[[Castle of Dark Illusions]]", destroying the flotation ring. However, the castle is still standing.
 
Still unintimidated, Yami Yugi says the only reason why his castle is still standing is because the "Swords of Revealing Light" are holding it up. Once they disappear, the castle comes crashing down.
 
Since PaniK has trapped his monsters inside the "Chaos Shield", all of them are destroyed and PaniK loses the duel. PaniK tries to kill Yami Yugi by firing flames towards him, but his [[Millennium Puzzle]] protects him.
 
PaniK is then destroyed by Yami's [[Mind Crush (Penalty Game)|magical powers]]. After the duel, Yugi offers [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] her [[Star Chip]]s back, but Mai refuses to take them; she believes she does not deserve them. After [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] plays around and tries to steal the chips, Mai demands that he give them back, and he does. As Yugi and the group leave, Mai thanks Yugi for his effort, saying that when they meet again, she will repay him and face him in an honorable duel.
 
==Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. PaniK==
{{ambox|text=This Duel uses [[Duelist_Kingdom#Rules|Duelist Kingdom]] gameplay. Rules and [[card effect]]s may differ from that of the ''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''. See the individual card articles for more information.}}
{{duelprev|Yami Yugi vs. PaniK}}
 
[[Yami Yugi|Yugi]] has 1606 {{LP}} remaining, and [[control]]s {{Monster|Curse of Dragon}} in [[Defense Position]], "[[Spellbinding Circle (anime)|Spellbinding Circle]]" and 2 [[Set]] cards.<br />
[[PaniK]] has 2000 LP remaining, and [[control]]s {{Monster|Castle of Dark Illusions|atk=ATK*1.3|def=DEF*1.3}} in Defense Position, {{Monster|Barox|atk=ATK*1.3|def=DEF*1.3}}, {{Monster|Dark Chimera|atk=ATK*1.3|def=DEF*1.3}} and {{Monster|Reaper of the Cards|atk=ATK*1.3-700|def=DEF*1.3}} all in [[Attack Position]], and no Set cards.
 
<u>'''Turn 11: PaniK'''</u><br />
PaniK has four [[turn]]s remaining. PaniK [[draw a card|draws]] "[[King of Yamimakai (anime)|King of Yamimakai]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it {{Monster|King of Yamimakai|atk=ATK*1.3|def=DEF*1.3}} in Attack Position. "King of Yamimakai" [[attack]]s "Curse of Dragon", but the light from "Spellbinding Circle" redirects the attack to "Reaper of the Cards", [[destroy]]ing the latter (PaniK: 2000 → 494 LP). Yugi then [[activate]]s his [[face-down]] "[[Swords of Revealing Light (anime)|Swords of Revealing Light]]", revealing all of PaniK's [[Monster Card|monsters]] and forbidding PaniK from attacking for 3 turns.
 
<u>'''Turn 12: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
Yugi passes his turn.
 
<u>'''Turn 13: PaniK'''</u><br />
PaniK has three turns remaining. Due to the [[Card effect|effect]] of "Swords of Revealing Light", PaniK cannot attack for two more turns. PaniK draws "[[Yellow Luster Shield|Chaos Shield]]" and subsequently activates it to increase the [[DEF]] of all his monsters ("Castle of Dark Illusions": 1196/2509 → 3200, "Barox": 1794/1998 → 2600, "Dark Chimera": 2093/1898 → 2600, "King of Yamimakai": 2600/1989 → 2600) and [[Battle Position|switch]] them to Defense Position.
 
<u>'''Turn 14: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
Yugi draws "[[Gaia the Fierce Knight (anime)|Gaia the Fierce Knight]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it {{Monster|Gaia the Fierce Knight|noname=true}} in Attack Position. He then activates "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" to [[Fusion Material Monster|fuse]] "Curse of Dragon" with "Gaia the Fierce Knight" in order to [[Fusion Summon]] {{Monster|Gaia the Dragon Champion}} in Attack Position.
 
<u>'''Turn 15: PaniK'''</u><br />
PaniK has two turns remaining. Due to "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]"'s effect, PaniK cannot attack for one more turn. PaniK draws "[[Metal Guardian (anime)|Metal Guardian]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it {{Monster|Metal Guardian|noname=true|atk=ATK*1.3|def=DEF * 1.3}} in Defense Position. Since "Metal Guardian" is in Defense Position, it will now guard all of PaniK's monsters.
 
<u>'''Turn 16: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
Yugi draws. He then Normal Summons {{Monster|Catapult Turtle}} in [[Defense Position]]". Yugi then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle", increasing the [[ATK]] of "Gaia the Dragon Champion" by 600 ("Gaia the Dragon Champion": 2600 → 3200/2100) and [[Tribute|Tributing]] it to destroy the floatation ring of "Castle of Dark Illusions". Shortly after doing this, Yami Yugi takes damage (Yugi: 1606 → 300 LP). However, "Castle of Dark Illusions" remains floating. Yugi explains that the only reason "Castle of Dark Illusions" is still floating is because of the effect of "Swords of Revealing Light". On Yugi's [[End Phase]], the effect of "Swords of Revealing Light" vanishes.
 
<u>'''Turn 17: PaniK'''</u><br />
PaniK has one turn remaining. On PaniK's turn, "Castle of Dark Illusions" falls and crashes down down on PaniK's monsters, who are unable to escape because of "Chaos Shield". This wipes out the rest of PaniK's Life Points (PaniK: 494 → 0 LP).
 
===Aftermath===
PaniK, angry that he lost, attempts to kill Yugi with fire, but he gets killed instead (in the dub, Yugi sends him to the [[Shadow Realm]]).
 
==Differences in adaptations==
* The countdown is cut out from the Dub.
* "[[Yellow Luster Shield]]" (known in this episode as "Chaos Shield") is given a slight redesign in the US Version.
* The Japanese Player Killer has the kanji for "yami" or "darkness" on his cap, which is removed in the US Version.
* Before [[Yami Yugi]] sends PaniK to the [[Shadow Realm]], the letters P and K can be seen on either side of PaniK's jacket, presumably a reference to his Japanese nickname, Player Killer.
* As before, "Barox" has the purple background of a Fusion Monster in the US version, but it's a [[Normal Monster]] in the Japanese version.
* After Yami Yugi sacrifices Gaia the Dragon Champion he has a concerned look in his face in the English version, but in the Japanese version he doesn't have one.
 
==Errors==
*When PaniK is becoming nervous after playing "Yellow Luster Shield", "Metal Guardian" can be seen on the field, even though PaniK hasn't played it yet.
*Yugi's Life Point total is briefly shown as 1606 on the side of his podium before it is actually reduced to that number.
*When Joey is holding Mai's Star Chips it looks like there are seven instead of eight.
*The "Swords of Revealing Light" disappeared after two of PaniK's turns, even though Yugi said that it lasts for three of his turns.
 
==Trivia==
*Yugi wins through what some fans have come to call the "''Catapult Turtle Flying Castle Gambit''", which is impossible in a Duel mainly because it disregards "Catapult Turtle's" actual effect and relies on a mechanic probability that would be incalculable in the real card game.
**However, if "Catapult Turtle's" [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]] effect applies, then Yugi's victory can be considered legitimate, as PaniK actually lost because of that particular anime-only effect of "Catapult Turtle" which states that a player could increase the ATK of a monster by 600, then Tribute it, to inflict damage equal to half of its ATK to their opponent. Since "Gaia the Dragon Champion" had 3200 ATK, PaniK would have lost 1600 LP going down to 0.
*In this episode, many of the changes to ATK, DEF and Life Points are obviously intended to round to the nearest 100, in stark contrast to the previous episode, where all of PaniK's monsters ended up having uneven numbers of ATK and DEF.
