He then [[activate]]s his face-down "[[The Shallow Grave(anime)|The Shallow Grave]]" to allow both players to [[Special Summon]] a [[Monster Card|monster]] from each [[Graveyard]] in [[Defense Position]]. Yami Bakura Special Summons "Headless Knight" (1450/1700) in Defense Position, but Bonz summons Special Summons nothing as his Graveyard is currently empty.<ref group=Notes name=Shallorave>In the [[OCG]]/[[TCG]], both players must have at least 1 [[monster]] in their Graveyard if "[[The Shallow Grave]]" is activated.</ref>[[File:TheEarlofDemise-JP-Anime-DM-NC.png|right|thumb|[[The Earl of Demise]] is summoned.]] Yami Bakura then [[Tribute]]s "Headless Knight" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[The Earl of Demise (anime)|The Earl of Demise]]" (2000/700) in Attack Position. "The Earl of Demise" attacks and destroys "Snake Hair" (Bonz 4000 → 3500).

Under [[Battle City Rules]], [[Fusion Monsters]] cannot attack during the same turn they are Fusion Summoned.<ref group=Notes name=FusionMnstr>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.</ref>Bonz Sets a card. He intends to use his set card once "Great Mammoth of Goldfine" attacks and destroys "The Earl of Demise".

Yami Bakura draws. Bonz activates his face-down "[[Skull Invitation (anime)|Skull Invitation]]". Now whenever a card(s) goes to the Graveyard, the owner of that card(s) will automatically take 300 [[effect damage|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. There were four discarded ("Earl of Demise": 2000 → 4000/700). The effect of "Skull Invitation" then activates (Yami Bakura 3950 → 2750).

Bonz draws "[[Nightmare's Steelcage (anime)|Nightmare's Steelcage]]" and subsequently activates it. Now no monsters can attack for two turns. Bonz then Sets a card.

Yami Bakura draws "[[Ectoplasmer (anime)|Ectoplasmer]]" and subsequently activates it<ref group=Notes name=Ectoplasmr>This card was played like a [[Field Spell Card]], but the OCG/TCG version is a [[Continuous Spell Card]].</ref>. Now both players, during each of their turns, can choose up to two types of monsters to be converted into ectoplasm, with half of the turn player's Tributed monsters' ATK being inflicted as damage to their opponents. Yami Bakura activates the effect of "Ectoplasmer" and selects "Fiend" for its effect, which causes "The Earl of Demise" to be Tributed (Bonz 600 → 0). ==Epilogue==* By losing the duel, Bonz, Sid and Zygor are banished to the Shadow Realm (Hell in the original). * Yami Bakura obtains his sixth Locator Card, qualifying for the Battle City Finals. ==Differences in Adaptations==* Cut from the dub are two [[wikipedia:I Spy (Scholastic)|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 blood on Bakura's arm wound is removed from the dub.* Cut from the dub is a scene of Yami Bakura ripping the IV needle out of his arm after he knocks out Solomon. * "The Earl of Demise" slicing "The Snake Hair" in half is obscured in the dub.* In the dub, Bakura identifies the dark creatures in the cemetery as lost souls who were sent to the Shadow Realm. In the original version, they are "death gods" (the Japanese equivalent of the Grim Reaper).* The shadows that consume Bonz, Sid and Zygor are made glowy in the dub* Cut from the dub is the last scene in the episode where Yugi and the group are traveling to the location of the finals in Mai's car, and Kaiba flies overhead in his helicopter. The dubbed episode ends with Yami Bakura monologing his plans.* In the original broadcast of the episode, after they learn of what their fate will be, Sid tells Bonz "Don't you bloody lose!". Future airings of the episode and the DVD versions change the line to "Don't you dare lose!", as the word bloody is a minor obscenity in the UK.
