Featured Duel: Yami Marik vs. Yugi Muto - Part 4

Duel continues from previous episode.

Turn 13: Yami Marik

• Marik has just managed to take "Monster Reborn" card back from his Graveyard via "Mining for Magical Stones".
• Sets two cards.
• Summons "Swallowtail Spike Lizard" (1900/700) in Defense Position. As long as it remains in Defense Position, Marik will receive 1000 Life Points during each of his Standby Phases (NOTE: in the real game, "Swallowtail Spike Lizard" is called "Granadora" and it increases your life points by 1000 when you summon it to your side of the field and decreases your life points by 2000 when it is sent to the graveyard from the field).

Turn 14: Yami Yugi

• Yami Yugi draws.
• Summons "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" (1500/1200) in Defense Position.
• Sets two cards.
• On the End Phase, "Bowganian's" effect activates (Yugi 1000 → 700). (NOTE: Bowganian's effect inflicts 600 damage to the opponent, and its effect also only works during the controller's standby phase.)

Turn 15: Yami Marik

• Yami Marik Draws "Surprise Attack from Beyond".
• On Yami Marik's Standby Phase, the effect of "Swallowtail Spike Lizard" activates (Marik 700 → 1700).
• Activates Spell Card "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (0/0) in Attack Position.
• Marik transforms "The Winged Dragon of Ra" into Egyptian God Phoenix.
• Activates "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" first special effect, paying 1000 Life Points (Marik 1700 → 700) to destroy "Obelisk the Tormentor", but Yami Yugi activates his own "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (X000 → 2000/X000 → 2000) in Attack Position and use it to intercept Ra's effect; "Ra's" effect then destroys "Slifer the Sky Dragon".
• Because Ra was Special Summoned, "The Winged Dragon of Ra" returns to Marik's Graveyard.
• Marik activates Spell Card "Surprise Attack from Beyond", allowing him to repeat his Battle Phase and Special Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" back to the field (0/0) in Attack Position. "The Winged Dragon of Ra" is now in its normal form.
• Pays all but 1 of his Life Points (Marik 700 → 1), in order to activate "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" second effect, increasing its ATK and DEF by the total amount of Life Points payed ("The Winged Dragon of Ra": 0 → 699/0 → 699). This effectively "fuses" Marik with Ra.
  • Yami activates Spell Card "Soul Taker", allowing Marik to gain 1000 Life Points (Marik 1 → 1001) but also allowing Yugi to use one of Marik's monsters as a Tribute immediately. He chooses "Egyptian God Slime" and, according to Battle City Rules, a Fusion Monster is treated as a number of Tribute Monsters equal to its number of Fusion Material Monsters.
• Yugi then Tributes Egyptian God Slime (since it is treated as a double Tribute) to activate "Obelisk the Tormentor's" effect, destroying all of Marik's monsters and inflicting 4000 damage to his Life Points ("The Winged Dragon of Ra's" effect makes it immune, but Marik will still lose 4000 Life Points). (NOTE: To represent how destructive the effect is, Obelisk's ATK is shown to increase to ∞ while it activates it).
  • Marik tributes "Bowganian" and "Swallowtail Spike Lizard" and pays all but 1 of his Life Points (Marik 1001 → 1), in order to activate "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" second effect, increasing its ATK and DEF by the total amount of ATK/DEF and Life Points tributed/payed ("The Winged Dragon of Ra": 699 → 3899 → 4899/699 → 2399 → 3399).
  • Marik activates Set Quick-Play Spell Card "Class System", negating the effect of "Obelisk" since its Level isn't higher than the Level of "The Winged Dragon of Ra".
• "The Winged Dragon of Ra" attacks "Obelisk the Tormentor", but Yugi activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Magical Dimension", Tributing "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" to Special Summon "Dark Magician" (2500/2100) in Attack Position. Since "Obelisk" has left the field, the attack made by "The Winged Dragon of Ra" is negated as it has lost its original target.
• Yami activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Ragnarok", and is about to remove all monsters in his Hand, Deck and Graveyard from play in order to negate the effects of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" and remove it from play.

Duel concludes next episode.

Differences in adaptations

• In the dub, whilst Marik is possessing Téa, yellow light has been added to Téa's eyes.
• When Marik is thinking how Yami could be so forgiving after all he has done to him, Marik's flashback is changed in the English version to show Marik on his ship, then Lumis and Umbra and various Rare Hunters, before showing mind-controlled Téa and Joey. In the Japanese version, the flashback shows Pandora, then the Silent Puppet.
• As in previous episodes, cut is a shot of Marik wagging his tongue.
