"The End of the Battle" is the forty-fourth and final chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga. It was first printed in the 2/2007 issue of V Jump on December 21, 2007.

With both Duelists pushed to their limits after a long and harrowing Duel, Yugi is set to finish his battle with Yako. Summoning one monster after another, Yugi is put into a tight spot.

Featured Duel: Dark Yugi vs. Yako TenmaEdit

Duel continues from the previous chapter.

Turn 15: Yugi
Yugi activates "Card of Sanctity", letting both players draw until they have six cards in their hands. He Sets a card and Normal Summons "Beta The Magnet Warrior" (1700/1600) in Defense Position.

Turn 16: Yako
Yako attacks "Beta" with "Beast King Barbaros", but Yugi activates his face-down "Soul Barter", sending "Beta" to the Graveyard to Special Summon a monster of the same Level from his Graveyard in the same battle position as the sent monster and negate the attack. He Special Summons "Alpha The Magnet Warrior" (1400/1700) from his in Defense Position. Yako Sets a card.

Turn 17: Yugi
Yugi Sets a card and Normal Summons "Blockman" (1000/1500) in Defense Position.

Turn 18: Yako
Yako Normal Summons "Machine Lord Ür" (1600/1500) in Attack Position. He activates "Polymerization", fusing "Barbaros" with "Ür" to Fusion Summon "Beast Machine King Barbaros Ür" (3800/1200) in Attack Position. He then plays "Quick Attack", letting "Barbaros Ür" attack in the turn it was Summoned despite being a Fusion Monster. Via its effect, it may attack multiple monsters as long as their total Levels are lower than the Level of this card. As its Level is 9, it can attack "Alpha" and "Blockman" - both Level 4 monsters. Yugi activates his face-down "Negate Attack", negating the attack and ending the Battle Phase.

Turn 19: Yugi
Yugi Tributes "Alpha" to Normal Summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000/1700) in Attack Position. He then activates "Magical Dimension", Tributing "Blockman" to Special Summon "Dark Magician" (2500/2100) in Attack Position and destroy "Barbaros Ür". "Dark Magician Girl" attacks directly (Yako 900 → 0).
