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
- Yami Bakura and Bonz begin a Duel in the Shadow Realm.
- 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 Japanese anime).
Featured Duel: Yami Bakura vs. Bonz
Turn 1: Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura Normal Summons "Headless Knight" in Attack Position (1450/1700). He then Sets a card.
Turn 2: Bonz
Bonz Normal Summons "Snake Hair" in Attack Position (1500/1200). It attacks and destroys "Headless Knight" (Yami Bakura 4000 → 3950).
Turn 3: Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura activates his Set Magic Card, "Shallow Grave", which allows both players to Special Summon 1 monster from each Graveyard in Defense Position. He Special Summons "Headless Knight" (1450/1700), but Bonz's Graveyard is currently empty.[Notes 1]
Yami Bakura Tributes "Headless Knight" to Tribute Summon his "The Earl of Demise" in Attack Position (2000/700). It attacks and destroys "Snake Hair" (Bonz 4000 → 3500).
Turn 4: Bonz
Bonz Normal Summons "Dragon Zombie" in Attack Position (1600/0). He then activates "Magic Burial", paying 800 Life Points (Bonz 3500 → 2700) to Special Summon "Snake Hair" from his Graveyard in Attack Position, equipping "Magic Burial" to it. Next, he activates "Polymerization", fusing "Dragon Zombie" and "Snake Hair into "Great Mammoth of Goldfine" (2200/1800). Under Battle City Rules, Fusion Monsters cannot attack during the same turn they are Fusion Summoned.[Notes 2]Bonz Sets a card.
Turn 5: Yami Bakura
Bonz activates his Set card, "Skull Invitation": Now, whenever a card goes to the Graveyard, the owner of that card will automatically take 300 damage per card. Yami Bakura activates his Magic Card, "Spiritualistic Medium", discarding his entire hand in order to increase the ATK of one of his monsters by 500 for each card discarded. With 4 cards discarded, Bakura's "Earl of Demise" gains 2000 ATK ("Earl of Demise": 2000 → 4000/700). The effect of "Skull Invitation" activates, inflicting 1200 damage to Yami Bakura (Yami Bakura 3950 → 2750). "The Earl of Demise" attacks and destroys "Great Mammoth of Goldfine" (Bonz 2700 → 900). Bonz also takes 300 damage by the effect of "Skull Invitation", since his "Mammoth" was sent to the Graveyard (Bonz 900 → 600).
Turn 6: Bonz
Bonz activates "Nightmare's Steelcage", which prevents all monsters from attacking for 2 of his opponent's turns. He then Sets a card.
Turn 7: Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura activates "Ectoplasmer"[Notes 3] and Tributes his "Earl of Demise" to inflict damage to Bonz's Life Points equal to half of his monster's original ATK, since the original ATK of "The Earl of Demise" is 2000, Bonz takes 1000 damage (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 a doll) before Bakura speaks with Marik for the first time.
