"'''Fate of the Pharaoh - Part 1'''", known as "'''Yugi vs. Rafael - The Impregnable Guardian Deck'''" in the Japanese version, is the one-hundredth fifty-sixth episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime. It first aired in Japan on May 20, 2003 and in the United States on November 6, 2004.
+
=Summary.=
 +
*[[Yami Yugi|Yami]] [[Duel]]s [[Rafael]], 1 of the 3 Swordsmen of [[Doma]]. He seeks to eliminate the [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]]. He traps him in a sole patch of rock by cutting off the rope bridge and ensuring no-one can come in or out of the Duel Field.
 +
* Rafael demonstrates a calm composure and being a good speaker: upon being accused of being 'evil' by Yami, he calmly questions what he understands for 'justice' instead. He claims that History itself decides if the road Doma walks upon is evil or not.  
 +
*Rafael reveals a Deck of [[Guardian]] Monsters, which were his sole companions when he was shipwrecked on an island for 3 years as a child, losing his parents, brother, and sister. He signals how some of his Cards are slightly blurry, revealing they got wet time before. He's replaced the backside so as not to be recognizable this way, but it doesn't change the fact that they've supported him.
 +
**He always kept his Cards safe, and his current strategy reflects that bond -- he will pay any cost to keep his Monsters out of the Graveyard. He doesn't want to lose anyone else. One day he was shown a vision of a mysterious island and a voice --- Dartz's --- told him that, when he would understand everything, he would be allowed to come to his side.
 +
**When he was finally rescued from the island, he found the normal world depressing. That was when he was approached by [[Dartz]] and joined [[Doma]], hoping to find the answer to 'Fate' itself.
 +
**One of the Monsters, [[Guardian Eatos]], was his birthday present just before the wreck.
 +
*** On a side note, [[Weevil]] and [[Rex]] arrive in the midst of the Duel and look on.
 +
*** Also, Yugi's friends realize that he's gone off alone: [[Joey]], [[Tristan]] and [[Duke Devlin]] will go look for him. [[Téa]] and [[Rebecca Hawkins|Rebecca]] stay in the trailer to take care of [[Arthur Hawkins|Professor Hawkins]].

==Summary==

==Rafael's Turn==
{{Cleanup}}
+
*Activates [[Continuous Spell Card]] "[[Guardian Treasure]]": Rafael [[Discard]]s 5 Cards and [[Draw a card|Draw]]s 2 Cards. Also while "Guardian Treasure" is face-up, Rafael may Draw 1 extra Card from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] during each of his [[Draw Phase]]s.
{{Incomplete}}
+
*[[Set]]s a [[Monster Cards|Monster]].
[[Rafael]] traps [[Yami Yugi]] on the [[wikipedia:butte|butte]] by cutting off the rope bridge that connects it to the surrounding area, thus ensuring no-one can leave or interfere with their [[Duel]]. Denying Yami Yugi's accusations of being "evil", Rafael questions what he understands for "justice" instead. He claims that history itself decides if the road [[Doma]] walks upon is evil or not.  
+
*Sets a Card.
  
Rafael reveals a Deck of "[[Guardian]]" monsters, which were his sole companions when he was shipwrecked on an island for three years as a child, losing his parents, brother, and sister. He signals how some of his Cards are slightly blurry, revealing they got wet time before. He's replaced the backside so as not to be recognizable this way, but it doesn't change the fact that they've supported him. He always kept his cards safe, and his current strategy reflects that bond; he will pay any cost to keep his monsters out of the Graveyard, as he doesn't want to lose anyone else.
+
==Yami Yugi's Turn==
 +
*Draws "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts".
 +
*Activates [[Spell Card]] "[[Polymerization]]", sending "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" and "[[Berfomet]]" from his [[Hand]] to the [[Graveyard]] to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast]]" from his [[Extra Deck|Fusion Deck]] in [[Attack Position]] (2100 [[ATK]] / 1800 [[DEF]]).
 +
*[[Attack]]s Rafael's [[Face-Down]] Monster with "[[Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast]]": it's revealed to be "[[Backup Gardna]]" (500 [[ATK]] / 2200 [[DEF]]) who is then flipped into face-up Defense Position. Since the latter monster's DEF is higher than "Chimera's" ATK, the attack fails ([[Yami Yugi|Yami]]: 4000 → 3900 [[Life Points]]).
  
One day he was shown a vision of a mysterious island and a voice, [[Dartz]]'s, told him that when he would understand everything, he would be allowed to come to his side. When he was finally rescued from the island, he found the normal world depressing. That was when he was approached by Dartz and joined Doma, hoping to find the answer to "fate" itself.
+
==Rafael's Turn==
 +
*Thanks to the [[Effect]] of his "[[Guardian Treasure]]", Draws one extra Card.
 +
*Activates [[Equip Spell Card]] "[[Gravity Axe - Grarl]]", equipping it to "Backup Gardna" and increasing the [[ATK]] of "[[Backup Gardna]]" by 500 ("[[Backup Gardna]]": 500 → 1000 [[ATK]] / 2200 [[DEF]]).
 +
*Since "[[Gravity Axe - Grarl]]" is on the [[Playing Field|Field]] and since "[[Guardian Grarl]]" is the only Card left in his [[Hand]], Rafael Activates its Effect and [[Special Summon]]s "Grarl" (2500 [[ATK]] / 1000 [[DEF]]) to the Field from his Hand in [[Attack Position]].
 +
*Activates "[[Backup Gardna]]'s" Effect, unequipping its "[[Gravity Axe - Grarl]]" and Equipping it to "[[Guardian Grarl]]" instead ("[[Backup Gardna]]": 1000 → 500 [[ATK]] / 2200 [[DEF]]) ("[[Guardian Grarl]]": 2500 → 3000 [[ATK]] / 1000 [[DEF]]).
 +
*Uses "[[Guardian Grarl]]" to attack & [[destroy]] Yami's "[[Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast]]" ([[Yami Yugi|Yami]]: 3900 → 3000 [[Life Points]]).  
 +
*Upon its destruction, Yami activates "[[Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast]]'s" effect, choosing to [[Special Summon]] "[[Berfomet]]" back to the field (1400 [[ATK]] / 1800 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]].
  
One of the Monsters, "[[Guardian Eatos (anime)|Guardian Eatos]]", was his birthday present just before the wreck.
+
==Yami Yugi's Turn==
 +
*Draws and Activates [[Spell Card]] "[[Five Star Twilight]]": since "[[Berfomet]]" is a [[Level]] 5 monster, Yami can [[Tribute]] it to [[Special Summon]] the 5 Kuriboh Brothers from his [[Main Deck|Deck]]: "[[Kuriboh]]", "[[Kuriba]]", "[[Kuribi]]", "[[Kuribe]]" and "[[Kuribu]]" in [[Attack Position]] (300 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]).
 +
*[[Banish|Removes]] "[[Kuriboh]]", "[[Kuriba]]", "[[Kuribi]]", "[[Kuribe]]" and "[[Kuribu]]" from play to [[Special Summon]] "[[Kuribabylon]]" (? [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]) from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] in [[Attack Position]].
 +
*"[[Kuribabylon]]'s" [[ATK]] is the sum of the [[ATK]] of all 5 Kuriboh Brothers, i.e. 300 × 5 = 1500 ("[[Kuribabylon]]": ? → 1500 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]).
 +
*Activates [[Spell Card]] "[[Pump Up]]", doubling "[[Kuribabylon]]'s" [[ATK]] for 1 [[turn]] ("[[Kuribabylon]]": 1500 → 3000 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]).
 +
*Uses "[[Kuribabylon]]" to Attack Rafael's "[[Guardian Grarl]]".
 +
*Rafael Activates [[Spell Card]] "[[Rescuer from the Grave]]" directly from his [[Graveyard]]: he removes from play 5 Cards from his [[Graveyard]] to Negate the Attack and end the [[Battle Phase]].
 +
*Activates "[[Kuribabylon]]'s" Effect, Removing it from the play to [[Special Summon]] the 5 Kuriboh Brothers: "[[Kuriboh]]", "[[Kuriba]]", "[[Kuribi]]", "[[Kuribe]]" and "[[Kuribu]]" from the Removed from Play Zone to the field in [[Attack Position]] (300 [[ATK]] / 200 [[DEF]]).
  
On a side note, [[Weevil Underwood|Weevil]] and [[Rex Raptor|Rex]] arrive in the midst of the Duel and look on.
+
==Rafael's Turn==
 
+
*Thanks to the Effect of his "[[Guardian Treasure]]", Draws one extra Card.
Also, Yugi's friends realize that he's gone off alone: [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]], [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] and [[Duke Devlin]] will go look for him. [[Téa Gardner|Téa]] and [[Rebecca Hawkins|Rebecca]] stay in the trailer to take care of [[Arthur Hawkins|Professor Hawkins]].
+
*Sets two Cards("Exchange" and "Self Tribute".
 
+
*Activates his Set [[Continuous Spell Card]] "[[Purity of the Cemetery]]": during each of Yami's [[Standby Phases]], Yami will receive 100 [[Effect Damage|Damage]] for each Monster present in his [[Graveyard]]. If there is a Monster in Rafael's Graveyard, "[[Purity of the Cemetery]]" will be Destroyed.

He fuses "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and "[[Berfomet (anime)|Berfomet]]" in his hand in order to Fusion Summon "[[Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast (anime)|Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast]]" (2100/1800) in [[Attack Position]]. "Chimera" [[attack]]s Rafael's [[face-down]] monster, "[[Backup Gardna (anime)|Backup Gardna]]" (500/2200). The attack fails ([[Yami Yugi]] 4000 → 3900).
 
 
 
<u>'''Turn 3: Rafael'''</u><br />
 
Due to the effect of his "Guardian Treasure", Rafael draws two cards during his Draw Phase. Rafael activates the [[Equip Spell Card|Equip Magic Card]] "[[Gravity Axe - Grarl (anime)|Gravity Axe - Grarl]]", equipping it to "Backup Gardna" and increasing the [[ATK]] of "Backup Gardna" by 500 ("Backup Gardna": 500 → 1000/2200). As "Gravity Axe - Grarl" is on the [[field]] and "[[Guardian Grarl (anime)|Guardian Grarl]]" is the only card in Rafael's hand, he [[Special Summon]]s "Guardian Grarl" (2500/1000) from his hand in [[Attack Position]] via its own effect. Rafael activates the effect of "Backup Gardna", selecting a face-up [[Equip Card]] on the field and equipping it to another appropriate target. He selects the "Gravity Axe - Grarl" equipped to "Backup Gardna" and equips it to "Guardian Grarl" ("Backup Gardna": 1000 → 500/2200; "Guardian Grarl": 2500 → 3000/1000). "Guardian Grarl" attacks and [[destroy]]s "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast" ([[Yami Yugi]] 3900 → 3000).

Yami Yugi activates the Magic Card "[[Pump Up]]", doubling the ATK of a monster he controls until the end of the [[turn]]. He chooses ("Kuribabylon": 1500 → 3000/200). "Kuribabylon" attacks "Guardian Grarl", but as Rafael's opponent's monster declared an attack while "[[Rescuer from the Grave]]" was in his [[Graveyard]], Rafael activates its effect, removing five cards in his Graveyard from play to negate the attack and end the [[Battle Phase]]. Yami Yugi activates the effect of "Kuribabylon", removing it from play to Special Summon one "Kuriboh", "Kuribah", "Kuribee", "Kuribeh" and "Kuriboo" that were removed from play.

==Differences between adaptions==
 
* In the Japanese version, Rafael's parents were either presumed to be dead or confirmed to be dead as he visited their graves. His remaining relatives took his parents' inheritance and threw him out. In the dub, that scene of him visiting their graves were cut and he believed his family had forsaken him- since they were said to have been alive since they acquired lifeboats and never bothered to look for him even after he gained recognition as being a "miracle boy".
 
 
* When Rebecca was doing research in the original, apart from mentioning Rafael's shipwreck, she also mentioned she wasn't the first national Duel Monsters champion of the United States, but Rafael was. In the dub, she only mentioned the shipwreck.
