* '''[[Yami Yugi]]''': "{{[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician}}]]", "{{[[Dark Flare Knight (anime)|Dark Flare Knight}}]]", "{{[[Mirage Knight (anime)|Mirage Knight}}]]" and "{{[[Dark Magician Knight (anime)|Dark Magician Knight}}]]"* '''[[Joey Wheeler]]''': "{{[[Flame Swordsman (anime)|Flame Swordsman}}]]"* '''[[The Big Five]]''': "{{[[Deepsea Warrior (anime)|Deepsea Warrior}}]]", "{{[[Nightmare Penguin (anime)|Nightmare Penguin}}]]", "{{[[Judge Man (anime)|Judge Man}}]]", "{{[[Robotic Knight (anime)|Robotic Knight}}]]", "{{[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo}}]]", "{{anime|[[Mythic Dragon(anime)|Five-Headed Dragon}}]]" and "{{[[Berserk Dragon (anime)|Berserk Dragon}}]]"

On Leichter's Standby Phase, the effect of "[[Altar of Mist]]" [[activate]]s, letting [[Leichter]] add "[[Dragon Revival Ritual]]" from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to his [[hand]] by sending "Altar of Mist" to the Graveyard. Leichter's hand contains "Five-Headed Dragon", "Dragon Revival Ritual", and "A Deal with Dark Ruler". Leichter then activates "Dragon Revival Ritual" to Tribute all of the Big Five's Deck Masters and [[Ritual Summon]] "{{anime|[[Mythic Dragon(anime)|Five-Headed Dragon}}]]" (5000/5000) in Attack Position and make it the Big Five's new Deck Master. Since "Five-Headed Dragon" was Ritual Summoned, its first effect activates, destroying all cards on Yami Yugi and Joey's side of the field. Leichter explains that due to the last two effects of "Five-Headed Dragon", it can't [[attack]] on the turn it's Ritual Summoned and it cannot be destroyed in battle by any [[Monster Card|monster]]s except [[LIGHT]] monsters. Leichter then [[Set]]s a card.

Joey draws "Silver Dollar". He then Sets three cards and moves his Deck Master, "{{[[Flame Swordsman (anime)|Flame Swordsman}}]]", to the field in [[Attack Position]] (800/1600).

Yami Yugi draws "Magical Hats". He then moves his Deck Master, "{{[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician}}]]", to the field in Attack Position (2500/2100). Yami Yugi then activates "{{[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization}}]]" to fuse "Dark Magician" with "Flame Swordsman" and [[Fusion Summon]] "{{[[Dark Flare Knight (anime)|Dark Flare Knight}}]]" (2200/800) in Attack Position and make it Yami Yugi and Joey's new Deck Master.

"Dark Flare Knight" attacks "Five-Headed Dragon". "Five-Headed Dragon" destroys "Dark Flare Knight", but due to the latter's first effect, all Battle Damage that Yami Yugi would have taken is nullified. Since "Dark Flare Knight" was destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, its second effect activates, allowing Yami Yugi and Joey to [[Special Summon]] "{{[[Mirage Knight (anime)|Mirage Knight}}]]" (2800/2000) in Attack Position and make it the new Deck Master for both Yami Yugi and Joey.

"Mirage Knight" attacks "Five-Headed Dragon". Due to the effect of "Mirage Knight", it gains [[ATK]] equal to that of the opposing [[Monster Card|monster]] ("Mirage Knight": 2800 → 7800/2000) during damage calculation only. "Mirage Knight" destroys "Five-Headed Dragon". Since a Level 8 or above monster was destroyed in battle, Leichter activates his face-down "{{[[A Deal with Dark Ruler (anime)|A Deal with Dark Ruler}}]]" to [[pay]] half his [[Life Points]] (The Big Five 1200 → 600) and [[negate]] the [[Battle Damage]] he would take as well as Special Summon "{{[[Berserk Dragon (anime)|Berserk Dragon}}]]" (3500/0) in Attack Position. "Berserk Dragon" then becomes Leichter's new Deck Master. After damage calculation, the effect of "Mirage Knight" expires ("Mirage Knight": 7800 → 2800/2000).

Yami Yugi then activates "{{[[Magical Hats (anime)|Magical Hats}}]]" to hide "Dark Magician" within one of four hats. He then activates the [[Deck Master Abilities| Deck Master Ability]] of "Dark Magician" to pay 1000 Life Points (Yugi 2000 → 1000) and copy the effect of "Magical Hats", allowing Yami Yugi to hide Joey's "Flame Swordsman" within one of four hats.

Leichter draws "{{[[Spring of Rebirth (anime)|Spring of Rebirth}}]]". "Berserk Dragon" attacks every "Hat" on Yami Yugi's side of the field via its own effect. The three empty hats are destroyed. "Berserk Dragon" then attacks the hat that "Dark Magician" is under, but Joey orders "Flame Swordsman" to intercept the attack. Joey then activates his face-down "[[Silver Dollar]]" to prevent "Flame Swordsman" from being destroyed and nullify the Battle Damage he would take. At the End Phase, "Berserk Dragon" loses 500 ATK due to its second effect ("Berserk Dragon": 3500 → 3000/0).

Joey draws. He then activates his face-down "{{[[Knight's Title (anime)|Knight's Title}}]]" to Tribute "Dark Magician", Special Summon "{{[[Dark Magician Knight (anime)|Dark Magician Knight}}]]" (2500/2100) in Attack Position and, make it Yami Yugi's new Deck Master. Joey then activates "Flame Swordsman's" Deck Master's ability to decrease its ATK by 700 ("Flame Swordsman": 800 → 100/1600) and increase the ATK of "Dark Magician Knight" by the same amount ("Dark Magician Knight": 2500 → 3200/2000).

1. Water - [[Crump]]'s {{[[Nightmare Penguin (anime)|Nightmare Penguin}} ]] & [[Gansley]]'s {{[[Deepsea Warrior (anime)|Deepsea Warrior}}]]

2. Fire - [[Nezbitt]]'s {{[[Robotic Knight (anime)|Robotic Knight}}]]

3. Dark - [[Leichter]]'s {{[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo}}]]

4. Earth - [[Johnson]]'{{[[Judge Man (anime)|Judge Man}}]]

* This is not the only time that a Fusion Monster attacked too early. It happened in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 107|episode 107]] with Nezbitt's "{{[[Perfect Machine King (anime)|Perfect Machine King}}]]" and [[Serenity]]'s "{{[[St. Joan (anime)|St. Joan}}]]". This indicates that [[Battle City]] rules do not apply in this arc. This makes sense, as they are not actually in the tournament at this time.

* Joey is seen to lay 3 cards face down, however, he only uses 2 of them ({{[[Knight's Title (anime)|Knight's Title}} ]] and [[Silver Dollar]]) The 3rd card is {{[[Gamble (anime)|Gamble}}]], based on his hand in the previous episode. Why he chooses to set it is never revealed, as its effect could not have been activated.
