The Duel begins, with Jaden Summoning "[[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (anime)|Elemental HERO Burstinatrix]]" in [[Defense Position]]. Dimtri plays "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]", [[Fusion Material|fusing]] "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (anime)|Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" and "[[Berfomet (anime)|Berfomet]]" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast (anime)|Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast]]" in [[Attack Position]], who attacks and destroys "Burstinatrix". Chumley asks if Syrus has any advice for Jaden, since he just Dueled Dimitri, but Syrus responds that he lost very quickly, just to "Chimera". Bastion comments that Dimtiri may just be invincible at this point as the weaknesses of Yugi's Deck, if there are even any at all, are not known. This wouldn't be a problem against just anyone, and Bastion states that Dimtri has a very good memory, and he is able to reproduce the tactics and even the personality of the person he is copying. Jaden plays "Polymerization", fusing "[[Elemental Hero Sparkman (anime)|Elemental HERO Sparkman]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Clayman (anime)|Elemental HERO Clayman]]" to Fusion Summon "[[Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (anime)|Elemental HERO Thunder Giant]]", who destroys "Chimera" with its effect, but this lets Dimitri Special Summon "Berformet" from his [[Graveyard]] in Defense Position. "Thunder Giant" attacks and destroys it. Dimtri [[Set]]s a card, and then plays "[[Monster Reincarnation (later anime)|Monster Reincarnation]]", [[discard]]ing a card to add "Gazelle" back to his hand. He Summons it in Defense Position before activating "[[Swords of Revealing Light (anime)|Swords of Revealing Light]]", meaning Jaden cannot attack for three turns. Jaden Summons "[[Dark Catapulter (anime)|Dark Catapulter]]", planning to use its effect to remove a [[Spell Counter]] from it during his next turn in order to destroy "Swords of Revealing Light". However, Dimtri states he's been waiting for Jaden to Summon a new monster and activates his face-down "[[Dark Renewal (anime)|Dark Renewal]]", Tributing his own "Gazelle" and Jaden's "Dark Catapulter" to Special Summon a [[Spellcaster]]-[[type]] monster from his Graveyard. Jaden objects that Dimttri has no such monsters in his Graveyard, but Dimtiri reveals he discarded "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]" to pay for "Monster Reincarnation", so he now Special Summons it in Attack Position. Jaden switches "Thunder Giant" to Defense Position before ending his turn.
Dimitri activates "[[Thousand Knives (anime)|Thousand Knives]]", destroying "Thunder Giant" since "Dark Magician" is on the [[Playing Field|Fieldfield]]. He then attacks [[Direct attack|directly]] with "Dark Magician". Jaden Summons "[[Wroughtweiler (anime)|Wroughtweiler]]" in Defense Position, and Dimtiri destroys it with "Dark Magician", activating its effect, letting Jaden add "Burstinatrix" and "Polymerization" from his Graveyard to to his hand. He Summons the former in Defense Position and Sets a card. Jaden thinks to himself that the only card in his hand that could beat "Dark Magician" is "[[Elemental Hero Bladedge (anime)|Elemental HERO Bladedge]]" and he needs a plan to Summon him. Dimtri attacks with "Dark Magician", and Jaden activates his face-down "[[A Hero Emerges (anime)|A Hero Emerges]]". Dimitri chooses the far left card, which is "Bladedge", who is Summoned in Attack Position. Bastion comments that with no Egyptian Gods present, "Dark Magician" is the strongest card in Yugi's Deck, so Jaden may have a chance if he can defeat it. Dimitri laughs at this comment, and plays the [[Quick-Play Spell Card]] "[[Dedication through Light and Darkness (anime)|Dedication through Light and Darkness]]", letting him Tribute "Dark Magician" to Special Summon "[[Dark Magician of Chaos (anime)|Dark Magician of Chaos]]", who has 2800 [[ATK]]. Its effect lets him add "Monster Reincarnation" from his Graveyard to his hand, and he then attacks and destroys "Bladedge". Jaden begins to question whether he's Dueling Dimitri, or Yugi himself.

Jaden then switches "Thunder Giant" to Defense Position.
