- With one attack by Blue-Eyes, Zorc falls to the ground. Blue-Eyes's attack rips out Zorc's left-arm; however it regenerates and the obscurity is lifted! The Moon moves away from the Sun and the solar eclipse ends. The sunlight now gives "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" more power!
- With one swift "underground" attack however, Zorc grabs Blue-Eyes by the neck and turns into stone like the Egyptian Gods.
- The moon returns to block the Sun.

- Seto Kaiba: "Shaddup! I don't know a thing about you lowlife or this world! But I won't... I won't ever accept it! See someone play a game with people's lives! And neither the defeat of the Blue - Eyes! After having surpasses 3,000 years, assume your ultimate evolution! My superb servant! "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"

- Joey Summons "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and "Flame Swordsman".
- (NOTE: at this point in the episode, for some weird reason the monsters Summoned by Joey & Tristan disappear as if a scene was skipped, and Yuugi & his friends are then surrounded by 4 Riders)
Enter "Master of Dragon Knight"
- Meanwhile, Mokuba Kaiba has made the trip to Egypt in search for his brother. While trying to reach him on the radio inside the plane cockpit, he sees a vision in the sky: it's Kaiba battling against Zorc!! But it turns out the vision is actually a "hole" between dimensions, and just like Mokuba can see inside the Dark RPG Game Zorc and Kaiba can see the outside world!
- Seto Kaiba: "That's...!"
- Zorc Necrophades: "Ha, ha, ha! Thanks to you lowlife, a new road has been opened. However! Kaiba! There is only one path for you lowlife to trek upon, and that is death!"
- Meanwhile at the Royal Palace, Mana is healing Pharaoh.
- The Pharaoh realizes what is going on: only one person is able to Summon "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", and that is Seto Kaiba!
- The Pharaoh takes the Millennium Scale from Mana's bag. He claims that he will stake all of his BA and his life in this one blow. He requests of Karim to lend him his strength. With that, his Millennium Puzzle, Millennium Scale, and DiaDhank start to glow. Could the Pharaoh be preparing a Fusion?
- Just then, the Pharaoh literally jumps off the balcony of his palace and "glides" towards "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". He scream to Kaiba "Kaiba!"

- Kaiba seems to react: he concentrates harder and a beam of light emanates from him.
- Kaiba, the Pharaoh, and "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" fuse all together to form "Dragon Master Knight". It immediately attacks using Galaxy Crusher.
- The blast is so great that its light radiates through space, literally also destroying "Master of Dragon Soldier" itself. The Pharaoh and Kaiba "de-Fuse" from the beast, however Kaiba is nowhere to be seen and Zorc still stands!
Enter Shadi/Hassan
- Back inside the Millennium Puzzle (the inverted pyramid on the Dark RPG board, sticking out of the sky), Shadi decides to take action.
- Shadi: "Pharaoh... The one who protects the soul of the Pharaoh is me! Please show me the path!"
- Shadi wields the Millennium Key and Millennium Scale and transfers his spirit inside Hassan, reviving him.
- Zorc Necrophades: (to the Pharaoh) "At the beginning, the world was covered in Dark... And, given a moment, the 'Light' was created... Dark & Light. After all, the Dark is always ahead of the Light. That is the truth of this world! However! Some foolish humans, who quickly began to be afraid of the Dark, held into the so-called 'hope' named Light. But they did not know how feeble and how powerless it truly was. And that Light, Nameless Pharaoh, is you. You cannot defeat me with your minuscule soul!"
- Pharaoh "Zorc! Even if my body is destroyed, someone will inherit the Light of my soul. And it won't vanish... Until you lowlife are defeated!"
- Zorc Necrophades: "Then, let it be as you wish! Vanish!"
- Zorc attacks the Pharaoh, but Hassan steps into the way one more time. His golden mask breaks under the pressure and Shadi's face is revealed.
- Pharaoh: "You're... Shadi!"
- Shadi: "Pharaoh! Thou cannot give up! The Light of the hope which thee believe in is heading towards here!"
- Pharaoh: "The Light of hope...!"

Trivia

- Tristan is freed of Bakura's control in this episode, as the piece of the villain's soul was destroyed by the rules of the Shadow Game.
