Summary
With Yami Marik having destroyed the central computer that powers the Virtual World, Noah, still in possession of Mokuba's body, attempts to help the gang escape, one by one, but asks Yugi to find Seto for him before the missiles fire from the KaibaCorp satellite. As Yugi heads through a shortcut portal to the virtual KaibaCorp stadium, Seto continues his Duel with Gozaburo, who tries to possess his stepson when he discovers that his virtual universe is about to be deleted, but Seto convinces him to continue the Duel, and the winner will escape, in possession of his body.
Kaiba ultimately discovers the weak link in Gozaburo's strategy: he is depending on the power of a single monster, like he had in his first Duel with Yugi, so he manages to make a comeback by negating Exodia Necross's abilities with "Soul Demolition", and then destroying Exodia Necross with his signature Blue-Eyes White Dragon, winning the Duel.
But then, the satellite's missiles fire and descend toward the Virtual Fortress island. Can Yugi and Kaiba escape the Virtual World before it's too late?
Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba vs. Gozaburo Kaiba - Part 2
Duel continues from previous episode.
Turn 5: Gozaburo
- Gozaburo draws.
- "Exodia Necross" attacks "Vorse Raider", but Seto activates Trap Card "Negate Attack", which negates the attack and ends Gozaburo's Battle Phase.
Turn 6: Kaiba
- Kaiba draws.
- Activates "Shrink", halving "Exodia Necross's" ATK until the End Phase ("Exodia Necross": 2800 → 1400/0).
- Tributes "Vorse Raider" to summon "Luster Dragon #2" (2400/1400) in Attack Position.
- "Luster Dragon #2" attacks "Exodia Necross". (Gozaburo 1900 → 900). "Exodia Necross" is not destroyed thanks to its special ability.
- Thanks to its other special ability, "Exodia Necross" gains another +1000 ATK for battling with a monster ("Exodia Necross": 1400 → 2400/0).
- The effect of "Shrink" wears off on the End Phase, so "Exodia Necross" regains the ATK it lost from "Shrink" ("Exodia Necross": 2400 → 3800/0]).
Turn 7: Gozaburo
- Gozaburo draws.
- "Exodia Necross" attacks & destroys "Luster Dragon #2" (Seto 4000 → 2600).
- Thanks to its special ability, "Exodia Necross" gains another +1000 ATK for battling with a monster ("Exodia Necross": 3800 → 4800/0).
Turn 8: Kaiba
- Kaiba draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it, drawing two cards.
- Sets a monster ("Ancient Lamp").
- Sets a card.
Turn 9: Gozaburo
- Gozaburo draws.
- "Exodia Necross" attacks and destroys Seto's set monster. It is revealed to be "Ancient Lamp" (900/1400).
- Thanks to its special ability, "Exodia Necross" gains another +1000 ATK for battling with a monster ("Exodia Necross": 4800 → 5800/0).
Turn 10: Kaiba
- Kaiba draws "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
- Activates Spell Card "Monster Reborn", Special Summoning "Ancient Lamp" (900/1400) from his Graveyard in Attack Position.
- Activates "Ancient Lamp's" effect, Special Summoning "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" (1800/1000) in Attack Position.
- Activates Trap Card "Soul Demolition". Now both players, during their respective turns, can pay 500 Life Points to remove from play one monster from their opponent's Graveyard, but they can only activate the effect if they have a Fiend-type monster on their field.
- Seto pays 2500 LP (Seto 2600 → 2100 → 1600 → 1100 → 600 → 100) to activate the effect of "Soul Demolition" five times in order to remove all five Exodia pieces in Gozaburo's Graveyard from play, thereby negating "Exodia Necross's" special effects and most importantly, its boosted ATK ("Exodia Necross": 5800 → 1800/0) (NOTE: In the real game, removing any of the Exodia pieces from its controller's graveyard results in "Exodia Necross's" immediate destruction).
- Tributes "Ancient Lamp" and "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" to summon "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position.
- "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" attacks and destroys Gozaburo's "Exodia Necross" (Gozaburo 900 → 0). Seto wins. (Seto did not need to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon to win as attacking Exodia Necross with La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp and then attacking directly with Ancient Lamp would also let him win)
Epilogue
- Despite losing the duel, Gozaburo in his monster form, attempts to steal Seto's body. Fortunately Yugi arrives in time to save him.
- With the help of Noah, Yugi and Seto return to the real world. Noah frees Mokuba's body, but returns to the Virtual World to prevent Gozaburo from escaping.
- Kaiba Corp's satellite missiles attack and destroy Noah's naval base and central computer network. Yugi and his friends escape on Seto's blimp.
- The Battle City tournament can resume.
Differences In Adaptations
- Noah clinging on to Gozaburo's neck is removed when Gozaburo is breaking up.
- The sign saying Alert is changed to a column of red lines in the dub.
- At the end of the episode, cut is a shot of a lily floating on a river and Mokuba hearing Noah saying 'I am a human, not a machine.'
- In the dub, Yugi believes that Noah has uploaded his mind to a back-up file, and Mokuba agrees with Yugi that he and his friends will see Noah again. However in the original, Mokuba merely throws the lily into the river, signifying that Noah is dead.
Trivia
- This Duel is the only one in the Virtual World involving no Deck Masters.
