Later, [[Seto Kaiba]] is working extra hours in his office when the light goes out and Yami Bakura shows up on the computer's monitor. Yami Bakura lifts an unconscious [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] off the ground by his neck and then throws him to the ground. Yami Bakura then challenges Seto to a Duel before the monitor shuts off. Kaiba changes into his [[Battle City]] clothing and goes out into the roof, where he finds Mokuba's unconscious body. He sets him apart and the Duel begins.
Yami Bakura displays an intriguing Deck which seems to be themed around the ancient Egypt era's rituals. He uses a Monster named "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" to steal the [[attack name|Burst Stream of Destruction]] attack of a "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", which he claims is the only thing which can stand up to the Gods. Seto then experiences a vision similar to the ones he had during the [[Battle City Finals]].
When dawn begins to emerge, Yami Bakura announces that he must be going: he hands Kaiba the [[Millennium Eye]] and asks him if he wants to learn more about the bond he shares with "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". He then departs the scene.
<u>'''Turn 1: Yami Bakura'''</u><br />
Yami Bakura draws "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" and subsequently activates it to fuse "[[The Earl of Demise (anime)|The Earl of Demise]]" with "[[Headless Knight (anime)|Headless Knight]]" in order to Fusion Summon "[[The Duke of Demise]]" (2000/1700) in [[Attack Position]].
<u>'''Turn 2: Seto Kaiba'''</u><br />
<u>'''Turn 3: Yami Bakura'''</u><br />
Yami Bakura draws. On Yami Bakura's Standby Phase, he pays 500 Life Points to keep "The Duke of Demise" in play ([[Yami Bakura|Bakura]] 3100 → 2600). Yami Bakura then Tributes "The Duke of Demise" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" (1800/1200) in [[Attack Position]]. He then activates "[[Spirit Illusion]]", equipping it to "Diabound Kernel" and [[Special Summon]]ing a "[[Doppelganger Token]]" with the same ATK, DEF, Level, Attribute, Type and effects as "Diabound Kernel" ("[[Doppelganger Token]]": ? → 1800/? → 1200).
Yami Bakura then activates the effect of "Doppelganger Token", equipping him to Seto's "Vorse Raider" and reducing its ATK by the original ATK of the Doppelganger Token ("Vorse Raider": 1900 → 100/1200). "Diabound Kernel" then attacks & destroys Seto's "Vorse Raider" ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] 4000 → 2300). Since the monster that the Doppelganger Token was equipped to was destroyed in battle, the Token's second effect activates, allowing Yami Bakura to Special the "Doppelganger Token" to his side of the Field (1800/1200) in [[Attack Position]]. Yami Bakura then Sets a Card.
<u>'''Turn 4: Seto Kaiba'''</u><br />
Seto draws. He then Normal Summons "[[Lord of D. (anime)|Lord of D.Dragons]]" (1200/1100) in [[Attack Position]]. Due to this card's effect, none of Seto's face-up Dragon-type monsters can be targeted by the effects of Yami Bakura's Spell Cards, Trap Cards, and Effect Monster effects. Seto then activates "[[The Flute of Summoning Dragon (anime)|The Flute of Summoning Dragon]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" (3000/2500) from his [[Hand]] in [[Attack Position]].
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon" attacks Bakura's "Diabound Kernel", but Yami Bakura activates his face-down "[[Spirit Shield]]". Now when a monster Seto controls declares an attack, Yami Bakura can remove from play a Fiend or Zombie-Type Monster from his Graveyard to end the Battle Phase. If there are no Fiend or Zombie-type monsters in Bakura's Graveyard, "Spirit Shield" will be destroyed. Yami Bakura then activates the effect of "Spirit Shield" by removing the "[[Headless Knight (anime)|Headless Knight]]" in his [[Graveyard]] from play. Kaiba then Sets a Card.
<u>'''Turn 5: Yami Bakura'''</u><br />
Yami Bakura draws "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards (one of which is "Grief Tablet"). Yami Bakura then activates "[[Grief Tablet]]" and equips it to Seto's "Lord of D.Dragons". Now the equipped monster cannot Attack or change its [[Battle Position]] and its Effects are Negated. In addition, if "Grief Tablet" is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Seto will receive 500 Damage.
Yami Bakura then activates the first effect of "[[Doppelganger Token]]", equipping him to Seto's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and reducing its ATK by the original ATK of the Doppelganger Token ("Blue-Eyes White Dragon": 3000 → 1200/2500). "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" attacks Seto's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", but Seto activates his face-down "[[Attack Guidance Armor]]" to redirect the attack to his "[[Lord of D.]]Dragons". "Diabound Kernel" destroys "[[Lord of D. (anime)|Lord of D.]]Dragons" ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] 2300 → 1700). The second effect of Yami Bakura's "[[Grief Tablet]]" activates ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] 1700 → 1200). Yami Bakura Sets two Cards.
<u>'''Turn 6: Seto Kaiba'''</u><br />
Seto draws "[[Card of Demise (anime)|Card of Demise]]" and subsequently activates it to draw until he has five Cards in his Hand (since he had one card, he draws four cards). Five turns after the activation of "[[Card of Demise (anime)|Card of Demise]]", Seto must discard his entire hand during his Standby Phase. Seto then activates "[[Soul Release (anime)|Soul Release]]" to remove from play "[[The Earl of Demise (anime)|The Earl of Demise]]" and "[[The Duke of Demise]]" from Bakura's Graveyard. Since there are no more Fiend or Zombie-type monsters in Bakura's [[Graveyard]], "[[Spirit Shield]]" is destroyed. Seto then activates "[[Silent Doom (anime)|Silent Doom]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Vorse Raider]]" (1900/1200) from his [[Graveyard]] in [[Defense Position]]. He then Tributes "[[Vorse Raider]]" and his weakened "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" in order to Tribute Summon another "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" (3000/2500) in [[Attack Position]].
"[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" attacks & destroys "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" ([[Yami Bakura|Bakura]] 2600 → 1400). Yami Bakura then activates his face-down "[[Rebirth Tablet]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" (1800/1200) from his [[Graveyard]] in [[Attack Position]]. Yami Bakura then activates his face-down "[[Mirror Tablet]]" to increase the ATK of "Diabound Kernel" by half the [[Original ATK and DEF|Original ATK]] of Seto's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" (the one that destroyed "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" this Turn and is currently on the Field) ("[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]": 1800 → 3300/1200) (NOTE: in the English Dub, the Effect of "[[Mirror Tablet]]" is wrongly translated to target the Monster Seto [[Tribute]]d earlier this Turn; in the original Japanese, the correct target is identified as Seto's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" currently on the Field) and force "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" to battle. "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" then destroys Seto's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] 1200 → 900) (NOTE: by destroying Seto's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", Bakura's "[[Diabound Kernel (anime)|Diabound Kernel]]" is able to gain Blue-Eyes's [[Burst Stream of Destruction]] Attack, said to rival that of the Gods. Bakura would later transfer that ability to his [[Diabound]] and use the attack against [[Pharaoh Atem|the Nameless Pharaoh]]'s Mystical Beasts Monsters during the ''Ultimate Dark Game'' (''Yami No Game'' in Japanese)). Seto then activates "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" to [[Special Summon]] one of his "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]sDragons" (3000/2500) from the [[Graveyard]] in [[Attack Position]].
At this point, Yami Bakura leaves, ending the Duel with no result.
