Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. Strings, Part 3Edit

Duel continued from previous episode.

Yami's turn
Yami's hand contains "Berfomet", "Big Shield Gardna", and "Alpha the Magnet Warrior". Yami draws "Monster Reborn" and subsequently Sets it. He then Normal Summons "Big Shield Gardna" in Defense Position (100 ATK / 2600 DEF). Since "Big Shield Gardna" was summoned in Defense Positon, "Slifer the Sky Dragon's" effect activates, decreasing the DEF of "Big Shield Gardna" by 2000 ("Big Shield Gardna": 100 ATK / 2600 → 600 DEF).

Strings' turn
Strings draws ("Slifer the Sky Dragon": 9000 → 10000 ATK / 9000 → 10000 DEF). On Strings' Standby Phase, the effect of "Lightforce Sword" deactivates; letting Strings return the card that "Lightforce Sword" removed from play back to his hand ("Slifer the Sky Dragon": 10000 → 11000 ATK / 10000 → 11000 DEF). "Slifer the Sky Dragon" attacks and destroys "Big Shield Gardna".

Yami's turn
Yami draws "Brain Control". He then activates Set Magic Card "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Buster Blader" from the Graveyard in Attack Position (2600 → 3100 ATK / 2300 DEF). The effect of "Card of Safe Return" activates, letting Strings draw 3 cards "Slifer the Sky Dragon": 11000 → 14000 ATK / 11000 → 14000 DEF). Since "Buster Blader" was Summoned in Attack Position, "Slifer the Sky Dragon's" effect activates, decreases the ATK of "Buster Blader" by 2000 ("Buster Blader": 3100 → 1100 ATK / 2300 DEF). "Buster Blader" attacks "Slifer the Sky Dragon", but "Jam Defender's" effect redirects the attack to "Revival Jam", destroying it. "Revival Jam" then automatically revives itself due to its effect. The effect of "Card of Safe Return" activates, allowing Strings to draw 3 more cards ("Slifer the Sky Dragon": 14000 → 17000 ATK / 14000 → 17000 DEF). Yami activates "Brain Control" to take control of the newly Special Summoned "Revival Jam". Since a new monster has been placed onto Yami's side of the field, the effect of "Slifer the Sky Dragon" activates, destroying "Revival Jam". "Revival Jam" Special Summons itself to the field again due to its effect. The effect of "Card of Safe Return" activates, forcing Strings to draw 3 new cards ("Slifer the Sky Dragon": 17000 → 20000 ATK / 17000 → 20000 DEF). Then, the loop continues (every time "Revival Jam" regenerates, it is destroyed by "Slifer the Sky Dragon's" special ability, and this causes Strings to draw another 3 cards due to "Card of Safe Return") until Strings eventually Decks Out ("Slifer the Sky Dragon": 20000 → 23000 → 26000 → 29000 → 32000 → ... ATK / 20000 → 23000 → 26000 → 29000 → 32000 → ... DEF).

EpilogueEdit

Yami obtains "Slifer the Sky Dragon" and a Locator Card from Strings. Kaiba then demands a Duel to see who gets to keep "Slifer the Sky Dragon", but Marik briefly regains control of Strings to tell Yami that he is on his way to Battle City and that he is now going to target Yugi's own friends to turn them into his mind slaves and to get what he wants. Yami Yugi calls off his Duel with Kaiba for the moment, so he can find his friends before Marik finds them first and turns them into his mind slaves.

Changes to the English VersionEdit

• The final shot of Marik riding away up the street is overlaid with a shot of Marik and Yugi facing each other in the US version.
