Below each player were small boxes containing the key to the shackles that strapped their legs beneath them, which opens only below the victor; Pandora compared this situation to [[Wikipedia:Pandora's box|Pandora's box]], citing that the boxes as the only hope for one of them (and a reference to his own name). Furthermore, Pandora used the [[stripper technique]], and cruelly sacrificed his monsters to win, all the while treating his monsters as dispensable slaves and claiming that ruthlessness to even one's own "slaves" is necessary to victory. He had no knowledge of the existence of "[[Dark Magician Girl (manga)|Dark Magician Girl]]" until Yugi played it against him. Eventually, because Pandora betrayed his cards, Yugi managed to defeat him (due to the fact that Dark Magician Girl gets a power-up for each Dark Magician in the Graveyard, and since Pandora sacrificed his own, it gave her a necessary power-up to defeat him).
As the buzzsaw approached Pandora, he, at first, put up the dramatics by screaming in feigned horror, then planned to use a spare key he hid in his sleeve, but Marik used his [[Millennium Rod (manga)|Millennium Rod]] to erase the key from his mind as penalty for his failure, ignoring Pandora's pleas for mercy.
Yugi, freeing himself, rushed forward to free Pandora as well, stating that no game should involve death. Marik then spoke to Yugi through Pandora about the [[Tomb Keeper|Tomb Guardians]] and his ultimate goal is to free himself of the duty that he never wanted.
