Rafael's Ultimate Trap

  • There was no reason for Yami Yugi to activate "The Seal of Orichalcos" because, as long as the seal wasn't activated, his soul wouldn't have been taken if he lost.
  • Rafael's plan hinged on defeating the Pharaoh and having him lose his soul via "The Seal of Orichalcos"; had the Seal not been played, Yugi would still lose, but his and Yami's souls would've been safe and Rafael's efforts would be ultimately futile.

Engulfed by the Dark

  • When Yami's friends arrive, Joey demands of Weevil and Rex Raptor why Yami has the 'crest' of Orichalcos on his forehead, and both report that Yami decided to use the Card.
  • When Yami uses Catapult Turtle to tribute his monsters in a selfish attempt to win, Joey claims he can't recognize him anymore: that's not the Yugi he knew.
  • Rafael and Alister depart the area in a chopper but not before returning Yami to the others. Rafael announces that he'll soon come after Joey.
  • Yami cries in regret and frustration upon the loss of Yugi.

Featured Duel: Rafael vs. Yami Yugi - Part 3

Duel continues from previous episode.

Turn 10: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi has just activated "The Seal of Orichalcos". From now on, all of Yami Yugi's monsters will receive a 500 ATK boost and the loser of this Duel will lose his/her soul ("Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight": 2600 → 3100/1700).

Since "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight's" ATK was changed by a card effect, "Crystal Seal" is destroyed, but because "The Seal of Orichalcos" is now on the same side of the Field as a Card which was Summoned by "The Eye of Timaeus", "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" is destroyed and "Dark Magician Girl" is returned to the field (2000 → 2500/1700) in Attack Position (Yami goes into a fit of rage, further deepening his Dark, but thinks that he still can Summon up to 10 Monsters.).

Yami Yugi then activates "Hand Control" and declares "Necromancy". Since Yami Yugi guessed right, Rafael is forced to activate "Necromancy" immediately (Rafael had already guessed which Card he wanted to use, so he simply says: "Use it, Yugi".); "Big Shield Gardna" (100 → 600/2600), "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" (1500 → 2000/1200), "Berfomet" (1400 → 1900/1800) and "Kuribabylon" (?/200) are Special Summoned to Yami Yugi's side of the Field in Defense Position. Yami Yugi places his newly summoned monsters in the Spell & Trap Card Zone, (due to "The Seal of Orichalcos", Yami Yugi can use his Spell & Trap Card Zone as an added Monster Card Zone) meaning they can't be attacked until Yami Yugi's first-row monsters are Destroyed first.

Rafael's hand is shown to contain "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou", "Kishido Spirit", "Aid to the Doomed", "Rod of the Mind's Eye", "Necromancy", and "Monster Rebirth". Yami Yugi then Tributes "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "Berfomet" in order to Tribute Summon "Dark Magician" (2500 → 3000/2100) in Attack Position. Yami places "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl" in the Spell & Trap Card Zone.

Yami Yugi Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Kuribabylon" to remove it from play and Special Summon the 5 Kuriboh Brothers, "Kuriboh", "Kuribah", "Kuribee", "Kuribeh" and "Kuriboo" (300 → 800/200 for all) from the Removed from Play Zone to the field in Attack Position. Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Kuribah" to remove from play "Kuriboh", "Kuribah", "Kuribee", "Kuribeh" and "Kuriboo" and Special Summon "Kuribabylon" (? → 4000 → 4500/200).

"Kuribabylon" attacks & destroys "Guardian Grarl" (Rafael 3000 → 1500). Since there is a Monster in Rafael's Graveyard, "Purity of the Cemetery" is destroyed. "Dark Magician" attacks "Backup Gardna", but Rafael activates the effect of "Aid to the Doomed" from his Hand, discarding 2 Cards from his Hand ("Kishido Spirit" and "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou") in order to end the current turn immediately since 1 of his Monsters has been destroyed in battle this Turn.

Turn 11: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael then activates "Monster Rebirth" to take "Guardian Grarl" from his Graveyard and return it to his Deck. Rafael then Sets a Card. He then activates "Swords of Revealing Light" to prevent Yami from attacking for 3 Turns and forcing all of Yami's monster to be face-up while "Swords of Revealing Light" is active.

Turn 12: Yami Yugi
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", Yami cannot attack (3 more Turns). Yami Yugi draws "Catapult Turtle". He then Tributes "Big Shield Gardna" to Summon "Catapult Turtle" (1000 → 1500/2000) in Attack Position. Yami places it in the Spell & Trap Card Zone. Yami Yugi plans to activate the effect of "Catapult Turtle", but Rafael activates "Limit Tribute". Now while this card is face-up, both Players can only Tribute 1 Monster per Turn.

Turn 13: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael's hand contains "Rod of the Mind's Eye", "Morale Boost", and "Nightmare Binding". Rafael activates "Nightmare Binding" to decrease the ATK of Yami Yugi's "Kuribabylon" by 800 ("Kuribabylon": 4500 → 3700/200) and increase Rafael's Life Points by 800 (Rafael 1500 → 2300). Now while "Kuribabylon" is on the field, it can't activate its effects or be Tributed.

Turn 14: Yami Yugi
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", Yami cannot Attack (2 more Turns). Yami Yugi draws "Beast of Gilfer". Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to Tribute "Dark Magician" and inflict half its ATK as Damage to Rafael (Rafael 2300 → 800). Since "Dark Magician" is now in the Graveyard, the ATK of "Dark Magician Girl" increases by 300 ("Dark Magician Girl": 2500 → 2800/1700).

Turn 15: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card. Rafael Sets a Card.

Turn 16: Yami Yugi
Due to "Swords of Revealing Light", Yami cannot Attack (1 more Turn). Yami draws. Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" by Tributing "Dark Magician Girl", but Rafael activates "Shrink" to halve "Dark Magician Girl's" ATK for one turn ("Dark Magician Girl": 2800 → 1400/1700). The effect of "Catapult Turtle continues (Rafael 800 → 100). Yami Yugi intends to summon another monster next turn, so he can use the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to deplete the remainder of Rafael's Life Points.

Turn 17: Rafael
Rafael draws. Due to the effect of "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws one extra card ("Celestial Sword - Eatos" and "Guardian Eatos"). Rafael then activates "Celestial Sword - Eatos", equipping it to "Backup Gardna" and increasing the ATK of "Backup Gardna" by 300 ("Backup Gardna": 500 → 800/2700). Since "Celestial Sword - Eatos" is on the Field and there are no Monsters in his Graveyard, Rafael Special Summons "Guardian Eatos" (2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. Rafael then activates the effect of "Backup Gardna", unequipping its "Celestial Sword - Eatos" and equipping it to "Guardian Eatos" instead ("Backup Gardna": 800 → 500/2700; "Guardian Eatos": 2500 → 2800/2000).

Rafael then activates the second effect of "Guardian Eatos" to send "Celestial Sword - Eatos" to his Graveyard ("Guardian Eatos": 2800 → 2500/2000), target Yami Yugi's Graveyard, remove "Dark Magician Girl", "Dark Magician", "Big Shield Gardna", "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "Berfomet" from play, and increase the ATK of "Guardian Eatos" by the combined ATK of the removed monsters ("Guardian Eatos": 2500 → 10000/2000). "Guardian Eatos" attacks and destroys "Kuribabylon" (Yami 600 → 0).

Rafael wins.

Epilogue

"The Seal of Orichalcos" claims the loser's soul. As its energy is about to engulf the Pharaoh, Yugi uses the Millennium Puzzle to break the "The Seal of Orichalcos" and pushes Yami Yugi out of the way at the last second, sacrificing his soul to save Yami Yugi's.

Trivia

  • When Yami splits "Kuribabylon" into the five Kuriboh brothers, he has 8 monsters on the field; the most amount of monsters that are on the field at the same time in any series so far. (He would have had 9 if he'd summoned "Dark Magician" after "Kuribabylon" instead of before.)
  • Later on in the next episode Kaiba was shocked to find out that Yugi lost his championship title to Rafael, but that didn't count because the duel didn't took place in a tournament.
  • It's interesting to note that when Yami Yugi is under the influence of the Seal of Orichalcos, he heartlessly sacrifices his own monsters to inflict direct damage to his opponent - the exact same strategy Yami Yugi criticized Arkana for using in their duel in Battle City. Much like Arkana, Yami also loses when an opponent's monster uses the presence of monsters in his Graveyard to strengthen itself.

Differences in adaptations

  • In the Japanese version, when Weevil and Rex grab hold of the helicopter ladder, Rafael looks down and pulls out a knife that was concealed in his boot. He was about to cut the section of the ladder below him to kill Weevil and Rex from falling, but they plead him not to and frantically ask him to let them join Doma. He thinks for a minute, and then puts the knife back in his boot. Weevil and Rex breathe a sigh of relief. In the dub, Rafael looks down and says "Oh, great" in obvious annoyance, then the episode immediately cuts to Weevil and Rex sighing for relief, omitting Weevil and Rex's pleading not to kill them and let them join.
