Summary

After Marik's attempt to defeat Yugi and the Pharaoh by using his Millennium Rod to control his friends backfired, he sets his sights on defeating the Pharaoh at the Battle City Finals. Within Bakura's mind, Marik convinces Yami Bakura to also enter the Battle City Finals.

Yami Bakura takes over the "good" Bakura's body, steals a Duel Disk and Locator Card from a random duelist and heads to a graveyard, following a rumor there are Duels being held there.

He finds Bonz, Sid and Zygor dressed in Halloween costumes, terrorizing random duelists in order to obtain Locator Cards without even dueling.

Even though they'd already obtained 5 Locator Cards this way, Yami Bakura is not impressed and challenges Bonz to a duel in the Shadow Realm. Not knowing any better, Bonz accepts.

Meanwhile, Yugi and Joey Wheeler have both qualified for entry into the Battle City Finals. By putting the Locator Cards on the Duel Disk (5 in the Monster Card Zones and the last in the Field Spell Zone) they receive instructions to go to an old stadium which would be the location of the Finals... but is it really?

Major Events

  • Whoever wins goes directly to the Finals and the loser would be trapped in the Shadow Realm for all eternity (or Hell in the original).

Featured Duel: Yami Bakura vs. Bonz

Turn 1: Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura draws "Headless Knight" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1450/1700) in Attack Position. He then Sets a card.

Turn 2: Bonz
Bonz draws "Snake Hair" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/1200) in Attack Position. "Snake Hair" attacks and destroys "Headless Knight" (Yami Bakura 4000 → 3950).

Turn 3: Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura draws. He then activates "Shallow Grave" to allow both players to Special Summon 1 monster from each Graveyard in Defense Position. Yami Bakura Special Summons "Headless Knight" (1450/1700) in Defense Position, but Bonz summons nothing as his Graveyard is currently empty.[Notes 1]

The Earl of Demise is summoned.

Yami Bakura then Tributes "Headless Knight" to Tribute Summon "The Earl of Demise" (2000/700) in Attack Position. "The Earl of Demise" attacks and destroys "Snake Hair" (Bonz 4000 → 3500).

Turn 4: Bonz
Bonz draws "Dragon Zombie" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1600/0) in Attack Position. He then activates "Magic Burial" to pay 800 Life Points (Bonz 3500 → 2700) and Special Summon "Snake Hair" from his Graveyard (1500/1200) in Attack Position and equip it with "Magic Burial". Bonz's hand, at this point, contains "Armored Zombie", "Polymerization", "Skull Invitation", and "Crass Clown". Bonz then activates "Polymerization" to fuse "Dragon Zombie" with "Snake Hair and Fusion Summon "Great Mammoth of Goldfine" (2200/1800) in Attack Position. Under Battle City Rules, Fusion Monsters cannot attack during the same turn they are Fusion Summoned.[Notes 2]Bonz Sets a card. He intends to use his set card once "Great Mammoth of Goldfine" attacks and destroys "The Earl of Demise".

Turn 5: Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura draws. Bonz activates "Skull Invitation". Now whenever a card(s) goes to the Graveyard, the owner of that card(s) will automatically take 300 damage per card. Yami Bakura then activates "Spiritualistic Medium" to discard his entire hand and increase the ATK of "The Earl of Demise" by 500 for each card discarded until the End Phase. With 4 cards discarded, Bakura's "Earl of Demise" gains 2000 ATK ("Earl of Demise": 2000 → 4000/700). The effect of "Skull Invitation" then activates, inflicting 1200 damage to Yami Bakura since four cards went to the Graveyard (Yami Bakura 3950 → 2750). "The Earl of Demise" attacks and destroys "Great Mammoth of Goldfine" (Bonz 2700 → 900). The effect of "Skull Invitation" then activates, inflicting 300 damage to Bonz since one card went to the Graveyard (Bonz 900 → 600). At the End Phase, the effect of "Spiritualistic Medium" expires ("The Earl of Demise": 4000 → 2000/700).

Turn 6: Bonz
Bonz draws "Nightmare's Steelcage" and subsequently activates it. Now no monsters can attack for two turns. Bonz then Sets a card.

Turn 7: Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura draws "Ectoplasmer" and subsequently activates it[Notes 3]. Now both players can Tribute a face-up monster they control to inflict damage to their opponent equal to half of the Tributed monster's ATK. Yami Bakura uses the effect of "Ectoplasmer" to Tribute "The Earl of Demise" (Bonz 600 → 0). Yami Bakura wins.

Epilogue

  • By losing the duel, Bonz, Sid and Zygor are banished to the Shadow Realm.
  • Yami Bakura obtains his sixth Locator Card, qualifying for the Battle City Finals.

Differences in Adaptations

  • Cut from the dub are the following:
    • The blood on Bakura's arm wound.
    • Two I-Spy-esque scenes (the first depicting a space environment with planets and spaceships and the other showcasing things like people, land vehicles and doll) before Bakura speaks with Marik for the first time.
  • "The Earl of Demise" slicing "The Snake Hair" in half is obscured in the dub.

Featured cards

The following cards appeared in this episode. Cards in italics debuted here.

Notes

  1. In the OCG/TCG, both players must have at least 1 monster in their Graveyard if "The Shallow Grave" is activated.
  2. In the OCG/TCG, the rule of not being able to attack with a Fusion Monster as soon as it's on the field is not necessary.
  3. This card was played like a Field Spell Card, but the real OCG/TCG card is a Continuous Spell Card.
  4. a b This card can be seen in Bonz's hand.
