Deck Masters

• Yami Yugi: "Kaiser Sea Horse"
• Noah Kaiba: "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane"

Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. Noah Kaiba

Duel continues from previous episode.

Turn 32: Noah

• Yugi's "Kuriboh" has just been attacked by Noah's "Yamata Dragon", but Yugi activates Trap Card "Nutrient Z" to gain 4000 LP before Damage calculation (Yugi: 100 → 4100 → 1800). "Kuriboh" is destroyed.
• Thanks to Noah's second Deck Master ability the Battle Damage inflicted to Yugi is added to Noah's LP, but Noah also plays Magic Card "Sebek's Blessing" to gain Life Points equal to the Damage Yugi just took. This in turn doubles the LP gain effect for this turn only (Noah: 5900 → 8200 → 10500).
• "Yamata Dragon" returns to Noah's hand at the End Phase. Thanks to "Spring of Rebirth's" effect, Noah gains 500 LP (Noah: 10500 → 11000).

Turn 33: Yami Yugi

• Draws and Summons "Alpha The Magnet Warrior" (1400/1700) in Attack Position.
• Attacks Noah directly with "Alpha the Magnet Warrior" (Noah: 11000 → 9600).

Turn 34: Noah

• Angered that he failed to defeat to Yugi, he decides to turn one of Yugi's friends to stone for every turn he takes, starting with Tristan.
• Draws and Summons "Inaba White Rabbit" (700/500) in Attack Position, and uses its special effect to allow it to attack Yugi directly (Yugi: 1800 → 1100). Thanks to Noah's second Deck Master ability, the Battle Damage inflicted to Yugi is added to Noah's LP (Noah: 9600 → 10300).
• "Inaba White Rabbit" returns to Noah's hand on the End Phase. Thanks to "Spring of Rebirth's" effect, Noah gains 500 LP (Noah: 10300 → 10800).

Turn 35: Yami Yugi

• Draws "Dark Renewal".
• Sets a card ("Dark Renewal").
• Tributes "Alpha The Magnet Warrior" to summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000/1700) in Attack Position.
• Since there is one "Dark Magician" in Yugi's Graveyard, "Dark Magician Girl" gains +300 ATK (2000 → 2300/1700).
• He uses "Dark Magician Girl" to attack Noah directly (Noah: 10800 → 8500).

Turn 36: Noah

• Turns Serenity to stone.
• Summons "Inaba White Rabbit" (700/500) in Attack Position.
• Yugi activates Trap Card "Dark Renewal", Tributing "Big Shield Gardna" and Noah's "Inaba White Rabbit" to Special Summon "Dark Magician" from his Graveyard (2500/2100) in Attack Position.
• Since "Dark Magician" is no longer in Yugi's Graveyard, "Dark Magician Girl" loses its special ability boost (2300 → 2000/1700).
• He sets a card.

Turn 37: Yami Yugi

• Draws "Magician of Black Chaos".
• Activates "Dark Magic Ritual", Tributing "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior" from his hand to Ritual Summon "Magician of Black Chaos" (2800/2600) in Attack Position.
• Attacks directly with his three monsters: "Dark Magician", "Dark Magician Girl", and "Magician of Black Chaos".
• Noah activates Trap Card "Chaos Barrier Field", taking control of "Dark Magician Girl" and forcing "Magician of Black Chaos" to attack and destroy "Dark Magician Girl". All Battle Damage Noah would take is inflicted to Yugi instead (Yugi: 1100 → 300). The last effect of "Chaos Barrier Field" then ends the Battle Phase. Thanks to Noah's second Deck Master ability the Battle Damage inflicted to Yugi is added to Noah's LP (Noah: 8500 → 9300).

Turn 38: Noah

• At this point, he offers Yugi to forfeit the Duel. If he does so, he'll free everyone except Seto and Mokuba. However, Joey interferes and says that Seto would want him to win even though they're rivals. Not wanting any interferences, Noah turns Joey to stone. Yami Yugi then refuses the offer and the Duel continues.
• Sets a monster.
• Sets two cards (One of the set cards was "Groundbreaking").

Turn 39: Yami Yugi

• Draws "Card Destruction".
• Noah activates Trap Card "Groundbreaking", adding a Spirit monster from his Graveyard to his hand. He chooses to add "Inaba White Rabbit" to his hand.
• He activates Magic Card "Card Destruction", forcing both players to discard their hands and draw the same amount of cards they discarded. (NOTE: at this point, Yami's Hand was 0, so he didn't need to discard Cards.)
• He attacks and destroys Noah's set monster with "Magician of Black Chaos". It is revealed to be "Otohime". The effect of "Otohime" then activates, switching "Dark Magician" to Defense Position.
• Noah activates Trap Card "Vessel of Illusions". Since one of his Spirit monsters ("Otohime") was destroyed, Noah can Special Summon a "Spirit Token" with the same Level, Type, Attribute, ATK and DEF as the destroyed monster (0/100). The Summoned Token is Summoned in Defense Position.

Turn 40: Noah

• He almost turns Téa to stone, but she still shows confidence and cheers for Yugi. He then lets her stay until the end of his turn.
• Activates "Change of Heart", taking control of Yugi's "Dark Magician" until the end of the turn.
• Tributes "Dark Magician" and his "Spirit Token" to summon "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi" (2800/2900) in Attack Position.
• Activates Magic Card "Flaming Fist", increasing "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi's" ATK by +200 (2800 → 3000/2900) until the end of the turn. Also if "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi" inflicts Battle Damage this turn, "Flaming Fist" will increase Noah's Life Points by 500.
• Attacks and destroys Yugi's "Magician of Black Chaos" with "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi" (Yugi: 300 → 100). Thanks to Noah's second Deck Master ability the Battle Damage inflicted to Yugi is added to Noah's LP, and thanks to the effect of "Flaming Fist", Noah gains a further 500 LP (Noah: 9300 → 9500 → 10000).
• Activates Continuous Magic Card "Spiritual Energy Settle Machine". While this card is face-up, any and all of his Spirit monsters like "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi" will remain face-up on the field and they don't return to his hand on the End Phase even if they were Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. Also during each of his End Phases, he must discard a card to keep "Spiritual Energy Settle Machine" on the field or else it will be destroyed.
• On Noah's End Phase, he discards a card to keep "Spiritual Energy Settle Machine" in play. Also the effect of "Flaming Fist" wears off at this point, so the ATK of "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi" goes back to normal (3000 → 2800/2900).
• He keeps his word and turns Téa to stone.
• At this point, Yami is about to give up, but Yugi shows him that his friends are always with him and are still counting on him. This is enough to encourage Yami to continue the Duel.

Turn 41: Yami Yugi

• Draws and Activates Magic Card "Card of Sanctity". Both players draw until they're holding six cards (NOTE: In the real game, "Card of Sanctity" lets you remove every card from your Field and your Hand then you draw until you have 2 cards in your Hand).
• Activates Magic Card "Monster Reborn", Special Summoning Seto's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (3000/2500) from his Graveyard in Attack Position (as this Duel is a continuation of the Duel between Seto and Noah).
• Activates Magic Card "Polymerization", fusing his field "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" with two other "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" from his hand to form "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" (4500/3800) in Attack Position.
• Activates Magic Card "Quick Attack", allowing "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" to attack the turn it came into play (NOTE: Not necessary in the real game, but this Duel uses Battle City Rules).
• Attacks and destroys Noah's "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi" with "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" (Noah: 10000 → 8300).
• Activates Magic Card "De-Fusion", returning "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" to the Fusion Deck and Special Summoning three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" (3000/2500) in Attack Position.
• Attacks Noah directly with his three monsters (Noah: 8300 → 5300 → 2300 → 0).

Duel concludes next episode.

Differences in adaptations

• "Inaba White Rabbit's" attack is obscured in the dub.
• A shot of Anzu being shocked when Shizuka turns to stone is removed in the English version.
• "Dark Renewal's" coffin is changed from a 5 to a 10 pointed star in the dub as well.
• When Yugi revive "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", Noah have a flashback about Kaiba using "Blue-Eyes" while in the International anime, Yugi remind Noah that "Blue-Eyes" was destroyed from the previous Duel, so he can bring "Blue-Eyes" back from the Graveyard.

Errors

• In the English Dub, among the final shots when Yami's 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" attack Noah, Noah is shown to have 8700 Life Points when he actually has 8300.
