Yugi vs. Pegasus: Match of the Millennium, Part 5, known as Fusion of Light and Dark - Black Chaos Descends in the Japanese version, is the thirty-ninth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!. It aired in Japan on January 23, 2001, and in the US on October 5, 2002.

SummaryEdit

Yami is in major trouble. He only has two turns to defeat Pegasus before his "Jigen Bakudan" explodes and takes the rest of his Life Points with him, but with Yugi gone, what can he do against Pegasus' Millennium Eye? He then gets a vision of Solomon Muto, who tells that Yugi may not physically be with him, but his spirit still is. When Pegasus tries to read Yugi's mind, the card he drew is blocked because of Tea, Tristan, and Joey spiritually bonding together to support Yami.

Yugi manages to regain control of "Dark Magician" with "Mystic Box". He then takes control of "Relinquished" equipped with "Jigen Bakudan" with "Brain Control". Pegasus says by taking control of it, it will destroy his monsters and Life Points, but in a suicidal move, Yami activates the face-down card Yugi placed, "Black Magic Ritual". He Tributes "Jigen Bakudan" and "Dark Magician" to Ritual Summon "Magician of Black Chaos". When "Relinquished" is returned to Pegasus, he fuses it with "Thousand-Eyes Idol" to Fusion Summon "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", preventing all other monsters from attacking. When he tries to take control of "Magician of Black Chaos", Yugi activates "Multiply" on his Set "Kuriboh". This forces "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" to absorb the "Kuribohs" instead, and when they come in contact with an opposing monster, they self-destruct.

This blinds "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" which frees "Magician of Black Chaos" from "Thousand-Eyes Restrict"'s paralyzing effect, allowing "Magician of Black Chaos" to destroy it, winning the Duel for Yami. They escape from the Shadow Realm and Yugi returns. All of his friends congratulate him, but Tea quickly reminds everyone that this is not over yet until Pegasus returns Kaiba, Mokuba, and Yugi's grandfather's souls like he promised. Yugi then turns around and is shocked that Pegasus has disappeared. Bakura at this point wakes up and calls out to the group. He then tells the group he'll keep an eye on Mokuba while the others search for Pegasus. After they leave, the Millennium Ring reappears around his neck and Yami Bakura returns. With Pegasus weakened, it is the perfect time to take his Millennium Eye.

Featured Duels: Yami Yugi vs. Maximillion Pegasus, Part 5Edit

Duel continued from previous episode.

Yami's turn
Yami is encouraged to win by Yugi's grandfather and his friends. Yami Yugi draws "Mystic Box". Pegasus tries to read his mind in order to see what card Yami drew, but due to Yugi's friends supporting Yami, Pegasus' Millennium Eye is blocked, therefore he can't see what card Yami drew. Yami activates "Mystic Box" to make his "Dark Magician" and Pegasus's "Jigen Bakudan" swap places. This frees Yami's "Dark Magician" and places "Jigen Bakudan" as the Equip Card for "Relinquished".

Pegasus's turn
Pegasus draws. He passes his turn.

Yami's turn
Yami draws "Brain Control" and subsequently activates it to take control of "Relinquished" until the End Phase. He then activates his set "Black Magic Ritual". Yami tributes "Dark Magician" and "Jigen Bakudan" to Ritual Summon "Magician of Black Chaos" in Attack Position (2800 ATK / 2600 DEF). He Sets a card and Sets a monster. On Yami's End Phase, "Relinquished" returns to Pegasus' control.

Pegasus's turn
Pegasus Normal Summons "Thousand-Eyes Idol" in Attack Position (0 ATK / 0 DEF). He then activates Polymerization, fusing "Relinquished" and "Thousand-Eyes Idol" to form "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" in Attack Position (0 ATK / 0 DEF). Due to the effect of "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", none of Yami Yugi's monsters can attack or change their battle position. Pegasus then tries to use the effect of "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" to equip "Magician of Black Chaos" onto "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", but Yami reveals his set "Kuriboh", and then he activates "Multiply" to make Thousand-Eyes Restrict target "Kuriboh" instead. Kuriboh's effect activates, destroying itself to negate Thousand-Eyes Restrict's effect and dealing 300 damage to Yugi ("Thousand-Eyes Restrict": 0 → 300 ATK / 0 → 200 DEF) (Yami 400 → 100 Life Points). (In the anime the "Kuribohs" "blind" "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" by self-destructing on him.)

Yami's turn
"Magician of Black Chaos" attacks and destroys "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" (Pegasus 600 → 0 Life Points).

Yami wins.
