This leaves Kaiba with just a couple of cards in his deck, while Ishizu gets back every card that Kaiba made her discard. | 1100 - 1900 | Deck/graveyard: 5/14 (Kaiba) 18/7 (Ishizu) |
| Player 1 | Ishizu draws and summons Kelbek in ATK (1500 ATK), she sets a card and passes. | ||
| Player 2 | Kaiba draws Magic Removal Virus Cannon and activates it, but Ishizu activates her face-down "Invalid" to negate the effect and destroy it. He decides not to attack and passes. | ||
| Player 1 | Ishizu draws and summons Zolga in ATK (1700), she sets a card. Zolga (1700) attacks and destroys Death Gremlin (1600). 100 LP damage. | 1100 - 1800 | |
| Player 2 | Kaiba draws Deck Destruction Virus of Death, but Ishizu activates another copy of "Invalid" and makes him discard it. Kaiba then sets a card and passes. Idle Warning. | ||
| Player 1 | Ishizu draws. She sets a trap card (Bomb Held by a Sacrifice) in the same column as Zolga, so that when Kaiba uses his Cross Sacrifice the bomb will be activated by Obelisk. | ||
| Player 1 | She summons Agido in ATK (1500) and passes, as she does not have valid targets to attack. | ||
| Player 2 | Kaiba draws and activates his set Cross Sacrifice, tributing all three of Ishizu monsters to Ritual Summon Obelisk in ATK (4000). | ||
| Player 2 | Due to the effect of Agido, Ishizu special summons it again in face-up ATK. | ||
| Player 2 | He prepares to use Obelisk to attack and win but the Millennium Rod activates and gives Kaiba a vision of the past. He sees himself as an ancient priest carrying a woman while standing in front of a stone tablet showing the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". This convinces him to change his strategy. | ||
| Player 2 | Kaiba activates Silent Dead and tributes Obelisk to special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from his graveyard in ATK (3000 → 3900). (By doing this he negated the secret Bomb Held by a Sacrifice) | ||
| Player 2 | Ishizu is shocked but also hopeful, seeing that the future can be changed. Blue-Eyes (3900) attacks Agido (1500). 2400 LP damage. | 0 - 1800 | |
| Player 2 | Kaiba wins. | Kaiba now is the true owner of the Ritual of the God of Obelisk without a doubt. |

EP 84 - Bakura vs Marik


| EP 84 | Bakura vs Marik | LP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Duel in Aerial Dueling Arena (Sky 100%). The normal side of Marik has joined forces with Bakura to reclaim his body. It's a Yami no Game from the start. | 2000 - 2000 | As the player's Life Points decrease, they lose a portion of their body. |
| Player 1 | Bakura draws. He activates Pot of Greed. He activates Summoning Spirit Technique, discarding Robbin Goblin and using it to summon Goblin Zombie in ATK (1100). He sets a card. | ||
| Player 2 | Marik draws. He sets Remove Trap. He then summons Drillago in ATK (1600). | ||
| Player 2 | Drillago attacks Goblin Zombie. Bakura activates his Horrible Earthbound that will inflict damage to Marik each time he attacks, but Marik activates his set Remove Trap to destroy Horrible Earthbound. 500 LP of damage due to the battle damage. | 1500 - 2000 | As he lost LP, a part of Bakura's left arm vanishes. |
| Player 1 | Bakura draws. He sets two cards and summons Gernia in face-up DEF (1200 DEF). | ||
| Player 2 | Marik draws and activates Treasure Cards from Heaven, each of them draw until they have 6 cards in hand. | ||
| Player 2 | Bakura activates his set "Dying Together" to force each of them to discard their entire hand and draw 5 new cards. Bakura loses 100 LP for each card discarded by this effect (600 LP lost). Marik then sets a card. | 900 - 2000 | As he lost LP, a part of Bakura's body vanishes. |
| Player 2 | Marik activates Vengeful Bog Spirit so monsters cannot attack the turn they are summoned. | ||
| Player 1 | Bakura draws and plays Puppet Master in face-up DEF (0 DEF). He then tributes Gernia to activate Puppet Master effect and special summon Headless Knight, Goblin Zombie and Ghost Earl from his Graveyard. However, they cannot attack. | ||
| Player 1 | Bakura plays Dark Designator and declares Ritual of the Sun of God Dragon to have Marik add that card to his hand from his deck. Bakura then activates his set Exchange and takes that card, while Marik takes Resurrection of the Dead from his hand. | ||
| Player 1 | Bakura activates Ritual of the Sun of God Dragon, tributing his three monsters to Ritual Summon Ra in ATK (?), and thanks to Marik he can enact the chant and summon it properly. But Marik activates his set Joyful Death Agony so all the tributed monsters have their ATK become 0 when they are tributed. He also gains 400 LP for each, so he gains 1200 LP. By doing this, Ra's ATK is now 0. Due to the secondary effect of Joyful Death Agony, Bakura changes Ra to DEF position (1050 + 1700 + 700 = 3450 DEF) | 900 - 3200 | |
| Player 2 | Marik draws. Drillago (1600) attacks and destroys Puppet Master (0 DEF) | ||
| Player 1 | Bakura draws. He activates Underworld-Style Puppet Technique to tribute Ra and summon "Hades, Demon King of the Underworld" in ATK (2450). He does this as he sees no use in Ra anymore. | ||
| Player 1 | He also uses his Necroear Ritual by eroding Headless Knight, Ghost Earl and Earthbound Spirit to Ritual Summon Dark Necrofear in ATK (2200). | ||
| Player 1 | His monsters cannot attack Drillago due to the Vengeful Bog Spirit so he passes. | ||
| Player 2 | Marik draws. He activates Resurrection of the Dead to revive Ra in ATK (0). He then activates the Instant Attack and Point-to-Point Transfer effects of Ra, to allow it to attack this turn, pay all but 1 of his Life Points to increase its stats by that amount (0 → 3199). In doing this, he summons the Incarnation version of Ra, merging with it. The normal version of Marik had no idea about this special effects of Ra. | 900 - 1 | Almost the entire body of Marik's vanishes, leaving only his hand and eye, while the rest is merged with Ra |
| Player 2 | Marik-Ra (3199) attacks (is not affected by Vengeful Bog Spirit due to its own effect) and destroys Dark Necrofear (2200 ATK). 999 LP total damage | 0 - 1 | |
| Player 2 | Marik wins. | As it was a Yami no Game, Bakura's body disappears, but he smiles saying that he is the darkness and he will return. |

| EP 86 | Marik vs Jonouchi | LP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | First Semifinal. Duel in Duel Tower (3 arena + 2 sea). | 2000 - 2000 | |
| Setup | Ante Rule Setup. Marik bets Ritual of the Sun of God Dragon. Jonouchi bets Psychic Ritual. | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He summons Gil Garth in ATK (1800). He sets a card. He uses Tribute Burial, which makes him and Jonouchi discard 1 and draw 1. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. He summons Wyvern Warrior in DEF (1200). | ||
| Player 2 | At this point a Yami no Game begins. | They are tethered to their own monsters. As a monster is destroyed or weakened, a corresponding amount of "damage" is dealt to the monster's owner. | |
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He summons Drillago in ATK (1600). Drillago attacks and destroys Wyvern Warrior. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. He summons Panther Warrior in ATK (2000). He activates Scapegoat and summon 4 Sheep Tokens in DEF. Panther Warrior attacks by tributing a Token and destroys Gil Garth (1800). 200 LP damage. | 1800 - 2000 | |
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He summons Hell Poet Helpoemer in ATK (2000) and sets a card. Drillago destroys a Sheep Token. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. He summons Rocket Warrior in ATK (1500). Rocket Warrior uses its strike effect in Helpoemer, reducing its ATK (2000 → 1500). In response, Marik uses his Card of Last Will to draw 2 cards. | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws, but passes without doing anything. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. He tributes a Sheep Token to make Panther Warrior (2000) attack Helpoemer (1500). 500 LP damage. | 1300 - 2000 | |
| Player 2 | As Helpoemer was destroyed, Marik activates his trap Hidden Soldiers, allowing him to special summon Plasma Eel from his hand in ATK (500), activating its effect and equipping itself to Panther Warrior on Jonouchi's side of the field. | ||
| Player 2 | Since Helpoemer was destroyed in battle while in ATK position, it is sent to the opponent's graveyard. Jonouchi has to discard a card from his hand on each Battle Phase. During the end of the Battle Phase, Helpoemer's effect forces Jonouchi to discard 1 card. | ||
| Player 2 | At the End Phase, Plasma Eel effect activates decreasing the ATK of Panther Warrior (2000 → 1500). | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He doesn't attack, he is enjoying damaging Jonouchi's monsters to torture him. He sets two cards and passes. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. He summons Baby Dragon in face-up DEF (700 DEF). Rocket Warrior uses its Strike effect to weaken Drillago (1600 → 1100). | ||
| Player 2 | At the end of the Battle Phase, Helpoemer activates and Jonouchi discards a random card (Insectorum Ritual). At the end phase Plasma Eel effect activates, weakening Panther Warrior (1500 → 1000). | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He sets a card and then activates his Dark Ritual of Legend, eroding Gil Garth from his graveyard (due to Tribute Burial lingering effect) to summon Legend Devil in ATK (1500). | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. Marik activates his set Torture Wheel and targets Rocket Warrior. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi summons Little Winguard in face-up DEF and changes Panther Warrior to DEF too. At the end phase Plasma Eel activates and Panther Warrior's ATK decreases (1000 → 500). | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws. The effect of Torture Wheel activates, inflicting 250 of direct damage to Jonouchi. Then Legend Devil gains 600 ATK due to its own effect. | 1300 - 1750 | |
| Player 1 | Legend Devil (2100) attacks and destroys Little Winguard (1800 DEF). Marik activates his Coffin Seller, inflicting damage every time a monster is destroyed. Jonouchi loses 50 LP due to Coffin Seller. Marik then sets a card. | 1300 - 1700 | |
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. He activates Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. He activates Quiz: Marik has to guess which card is the one at the bottom on the graveyard. He cannot guess correctly, and Jonouchi adds Psycho Shocker to his hand, which was discarded due to Tribute Burial. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi summons Tiger Axe (1300) and activates Psychic Ritual to Ritual summon Psycho Shocker (2400). Jonouchi loses 50 LP due to Coffin Seller when tributing Tiger Axe. On its summon, Marik activates his trap Wicked God's Catastrophe but Psycho Shocker negates it and destroys it. | 1300 - 1650 | |
| Player 2 | Psycho Shocker (2400) attacks and destroys Legend Devil (2100). It would be 300 LP of Damage, but Marik activates his set Protective Seal Wall of Darkness to prevent taking the damage and draws 1 card instead. He loses 50 LP due to Coffin Seller. | 1250 - 1650 | |
| Player 2 | At the end of the battle phase Helpoemer activates and forces him to discard a random card (Fusion). At the end phase Plasma Eel activates and Panther Warrior's ATK decreases (500 → 0). | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws. Torture Wheel activates but Psycho Shocker negates it and destroys it, freeing Rocket Warrior. | ||
| Player 1 | He then uses Lava Devil Ritual to tribute Psycho Shocker and Baby Dragon to Ritual Summon Lava Golem in ATK (3000) in Jonouchi's side of the field. Jonouchi loses 100 LP by Coffin Seller due to their monsters being destroyed. | 1250 - 1550 | |
| Player 1 | Marik sets a card. He didn't play a monster to his side of the field so he gets an Idle Warning (Plasma Eel is on jonouchi's side of the field). | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. Marik has no monsters for him to attack so he passes. | ||
| Player 2 | In the end of the battle phase Helpoemer makes Jonouchi discard a random card (Swordsman of Landstar). Plasma Eel can't reduce the ATK of Panther Warrior anymore. At the End Phase Lava Golem inflicts 400 LP of damage to Jonouchi. | 1250 - 1150 | |
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He activates his set Monster Relief to return Plasma Eel to his hand and then summons it on the field on face-up DEF, but he does not activate its equip effect. | ||
| Player 1 | Instead, he activates Machine Duplication Technique targeting the Eel to special summon 2 Clone Tokens targeting Plasma Eel. Marik equips one Plasma Eel Token to Rocket Warrior, and another to Lava Golem. He then sets a card. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi draws. He activates Angel's Dice to roll a die and multiply the ATK of Plasma Eel by that result. He gets a four (500 → 2000). Since the ATK now exceeds 500, Machine Duplication and the two tokens are destroyed, allowing him to tribute his monsters once again. Coffin Seller does not trigger because the tokens are not sent to the graveyard. | ||
| Player 2 | Jonouchi activates Lightning Sword Ritual and tributes all three of his monsters (Rocket Warrior, Lava Golem and Panther Warrior) to ritual summon Gilford the Lightning. He loses 150 LP due to Coffin Seller. By tributing three monsters, Gilford allows Jonouchi to battle lock Plasma Eel into ATK. | 1250 - 1000 | |
| Player 2 | Gilford (2800) attacks Plasma Eel (2000), but Marik activates his set Nightmare's Demon Mirror to negate the attack by discarding a card, he discards the Ritual to summon Ra. | ||
| Player 2 | Helpoemer activates but Jonouchi has no more cards in hand. | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He erodes Ra's Ritual from his graveyard to send Ra to the graveyard from the Extra Deck. He then activates Resurrection of the Dead to revive Ra in ATK (0). He then transforms it into God Phoenix, it attacks and destroys Gilford the Lightning . | ||
| Player 1 | Due to this being a Yami no Game, Jonouchi takes a lot of real damage, but somehow he is still standing due to tremendous willpower. Marik is surprised by this, as he was counting on Ra's attack to completely destroy his mind. Marik feels he is in actual danger of losing now, he has no more useful cards in hand or field, and only controls Plasma Eel (500) in ATK battle locked due to Gilford. | ||
| Player 1 | At the End Phase Ra is destroyed due to being special summoned from the graveyard. Marik loses 50 LP due to Coffin Seller. | 1200 - 1000 | |
| Player 2 | Jonouchi, barely standing, draws Gearfried the Iron Knight. He summons it in ATK (1800, which would be enough to win as Plasma Eel has only 500 ATK) but at that moment and due to his condition, he collapses. | ||
| Player 2 | As Jonouchi can't continue the duel, Marik wins. | 1200 - 0 | Marik decides not to take any card from him. The penalty game for the Shadow Game is death, and Jonouchi stops breathing for a moment but he fights and ends up in a coma. |

In response the Kid uses Mooyan Curry to remove that negative stat reduction (1500 DEF → 1700 DEF). | 1800 - 350 | |
| Player 1 | Jonouchi thinks that there is still enough of a difference to win that fight. Flame Swordsman (1800) attacks Metal Dragon (1700) but the Kid uses Castle Walls to increase its DEF (so its ATK this turn) by 500 (1700 → 2200).

| Player 2 | Yugi draws. He then activates his Ritual of the God of Osiris, tributing all three of his monsters to Ritual Summon Osiris in ATK (X000 → 3000). Osiris attacks XYZ-Dragon Cannon but Kaiba activates his set Interdimensional Matter Transporter to erode XYZ-Dragon Cannon until the End Phase, dodging the attack. | ||
| Player 2 | Yugi sets a card, Osiris (3000 → 2000). In the End Phase XYZ-Dragon Cannon returns to the field. Third turn of the sword. | ||
| Player 1 | Kaiba draws. The persist effect of Light Sword of Card Sealing has ended, so he recovers his Ritual of the God of Obelisk. He then tributes XYZ-Dragon Cannon which counts as three tributes due to "Fusion Tributing" Rule to Ritual Summon Obelisk in ATK (4000). Then, Osiris effect activates and it attacks Obelisk, reducing its ATK (4000 → 2000). | ||
| Player 1 | Kaiba sets 2 cards (one of them Life Shaver). On the end phase the effect of Osiris expires because its affecting an Egyptian God, so Obelisk ATK goes up (2000 → 4000). | ||

| Player 1 | Kaiba then activates Obelisk effect, tributing both monsters so it gains infinite attack. Obelisk (INFINITE) attacks Osiris, but Yugi discards Kuriboh Barrier from his hand to protect Osiris from being destroyed this turn. Osiris (6000 → 5000). Obelisk (4000) choose to not attack Osiris again on his normal attack. Kaiba sets a card. | ||
| Player 2 | Yugi draws. Osiris (5000 → 6000). Osiris attacks Obelisk but Kaiba activates his set Power Balance to force Yugi to discard 3 cards and him to draw 3. Osiris (6000 → 3000). | ||
| Player 2 | Yugi activates Necromancy (Osiris 3000 → 2000) to randomly special summon Blade Knight, Sword of Soul, Kaiser Sea Horse and X-Head Cannon from Kaiba's graveyard to Kaiba's field in DEF. Osiris strike effect activates, and destroys them all one by one. Due to Necromancy's effect, all of Kaiba's monsters lose 600 ATK for each monster destroyed this way. Obelisk (4000 → 1600). Osiris attacks Obelisk once again. Since Sword of Soul was destroyed in battle, its effect activates, allowing Kaiba to increase Obelisk's ATK by 1000 (1600 → 2600). Yugi then activates the effect of Electromagnetic Turtle he sent to his graveyard due to Power Balance to end the Battle Phase. | ||
| Player 2 | Yugi sets a card, Osiris (2000 → 1000). In the end Phase, both Necromancy and Sword of Soul's effect end so Obelisk (2600 → 4000). | ||
| Player 1 | Kaiba draws. Obelisk (4000) attacks Osiris (1000), but Yugi activates his set Spell Textbook to discard all cards in his hand (Osiris 1000 → 0) and draw a card, if that card is a spell Yugi can activate it. Yugi draws Treasure Cards from Heaven and activates it, allowing both to draw until they have 6 cards. Osiris (0 → 6000). Kaiba activates his set Life Shaver to force Yugi to discard 2 cards as it was hidden 2 turns (Osiris 6000 → 4000). Osiris and Obelisk have the same attack and are destroyed together. | ||
| Player 1 | Both Yugi and Kaiba have a vision of the past. After that, Kaiba sets a card and passes. | ||

The attack is redirected to Obelisk due to the Egyptian God Rule card. 1500 LP selfdamage. | 1400 - 500 | |
| Player 2 | Yugi sets a card. On his end phase, Obelisk returns to the graveyard due to its own effect. | ||
| Player 1 | Kaiba draws. He activates The Flute of Summoning Dragon to special summon two more Blue-Eyes White Dragon from his hand in ATK. Yugi seems defeated after this, but a vision of jonouchi reminds him of the possibilities of the cards, and he uses this effect to special summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from his hand in ATK. | ||
| Player 1 | Blue-Eyes attacks Dark Magician, but Yugi uses his set Magician's Selection to negate the attack and destroy Lord of Dragons. | ||
| Player 1 | Kaiba activates Quick Attack. His Blue-Eyes attacks Red-Eyes but Yugi uses his set Curse of the Hexagram to reduce the attack. Red-Eyes (2400) destroys Blue-Eyes (3000 → 2300). 100 LP selfdamage. He sets two cards. | 1300 - 500 | |

| Player 2 | Yugi draws. He sets a card. | ||
| Player 1 | Kaiba draws. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attacks Red-Eyes but Yugi activates his set Magic Formula, equipping it to Dark Paladin and increasing its ATK by 500. Kaiba uses his Magic Absorption to give the buff of Magic Formula to Blue-Eyes (4500 → 5000). | ||

| Player 1 | Bowganian inflicts 100 LP due to its Strike effect. At this point the normal Marik takes control of Anzu's body and tells Yugi to don't hold back as he is prepared to die, he tells him to forget about him and defeat his evil self. | 99 - 200 | |
| Player 2 | Yugi draws. He sets two cards. | ||
| Player 1 | Marik draws. He gains 500 LP due to Granadora (99 → 599 LP). He then activates Resurrection of the Dead to revive The Winged Dragon of Ra in ATK (0). | 599 - 200 | |
| Player 1 | Marik then transforms Ra into Egyptian God Phoenix and uses its effect to attack all opponent monsters that existed at the beginning of the battle phase, but Yugi activates his own set Resurrection of the Dead to revive Osiris in DEF (2000 DEF) and redirect the attack to it due to the Egyptian God rule effect as it was special summoned in battle, protecting Obelisk. | ||
| Player 1 | Marik activates Surprise Attack From the Darkness to allow himself to get a second Battle Phase. He then pays all but 1 of his LP (599 → 1) to activate the second effect of Ra (no longer in phoenix mode) and merge with it to play its integration form (0 → 598). | 1 - 200 | |
| Player 1 | Yugi activates his Soul Taker to tribute Egyptian God Slime, and it counts as two tributes due to Fusion Tribute Rule so he uses it to activate Obelisk ATK infinite and allowing him to attack during Marik's battle phase. Due to Soul Taker cost, Marik gains 3000 LP. | 3001 - 200 | |
| Player 1 | Marik in response tributes Bowganian (1300 ATK) and Granadora (1900 ATK) and pays all but 1 of his LP to increase Ra's ATK/DEF (598 + 1300 + 1900 + 3000 → 6798). He then activates his set Class System to prevent Ra's destruction in that battle between divine monsters. | 1 - 200 | |

| Player 1 | At this point Rishid arrives and helps the real Marik to partly regain control. Yugi activates Ragnarok, and since Marik was fused with Ra, a large part of him is also eroded (he cant transfer his ATK back to LP due to Ragnarok being an unstopable effect), allowing the real Marik to regain control of his body. | ||
| Player 1 | Marik surrenders the duel (Surrender Card rule), banishing his evil self once and for all. | 0 - 200 | |
| Player 1 | Yugi wins and is crowned champion. | Yugi obtains Ritual of the Sun of God Dragon. |
