Summary

The final battle between Yugi and Tenma Yakou has finall begun on the top of KC building. For Yugi, he fights to get back Anzu caught by Yakou. For Yakou, he fights to get back Pegasus-Sama. Both sides draw their starting cards. The first turn is with Yugi. He declares his moving as Yakou smiles as a challenge.

Drawing a card, Yugi summons [Alpha the Magnet Warrior - 4/1400/1700] onto the field in defense position. He sets up a face-down card and ends his turn.

Next turn comes to Yakou. He draws a card, sets up a face-down card, and summons [Barbaros the King of Sacred Beasts ~ Shinjyuuoh Barbaros - 8/3000/1200: This card can be Normal Summoned without sacrifices. If it is, its attack power will become 1900] onto the field in attack position. Yugi is very shocked by seeing 8-star monster normal summoned without any tribute.

Yakou explains the special effect of his monster that it can be normal summoned without tribute, but the attack power must decrease to 1900 points. Anyway, he thinks that this level is high enough to beat Yugi's monster. Barbaros the King of Sacred Beasts attacks and destroys Alpha the Magnet Warrior of Yugi. Because Yugi's monster is in defense position, he doesn't receive any damage.

At this moment, Yugi opens his face-down trap card, [Soul Line ~ Tamashii No Tsuna - Trap: You may activate this card when a monster on your field is destroyed and placed in the graveyard. Pay 1000 Life Points and special summon a level 4 monster from your deck]. By its effect, he can pay 1000 LP to special summon a monster with level 4 or less from his deck.

Therefore, [King's Knight - 4/1600/1400: When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned while you have a face-up Queen's Knight on your side of the Field, you can Special Summon 1 Jack's Knight from your Deck to the Field] is special onto the field in attack position. Yugi's LP decreases to 3000 (4000-1000). Yakou's turn seems to end here.

The turn quickly switches to Yugi. Drawing a card, he summons [Queen's Knight - 4/1500/1600] onto the field in attack position. When King's Knight and Queen's Knight are together on the field, Yugi activates the special effect of King's Knight to special summon [Jack's Knight - 4/1800/1200] from his deck onto the field in attack position.

Gekkou is very amazed by such a quick play of Yugi who is able to gather and summon three tributes for gods first. However, those three knights are still unable to defeat Barbaros the King of Sacred Beasts. Thus, Yugi sets up a face-down card and ends his turn without attacking.

The turn comes to Yakou. He realizes well that King's, Queen's, and Jack's Knights are three warriors for the tributes of gods. However, if those warriors are attacked by Barbaros the King of Sacred Beasts, Yakou asks Yugi whether they can still remain. Yugi doesn't answer but looks at Yakou calmly. Yakou says that if one of the three knights is destroyed, Yugi's plan to summon a god by three of them is turned down.

Yakou declares the attack of Barbaros the King of Sacred Beasts immediately. Yugi tells him not to be frightened by gods. At this moment, he opens his face-down spell card, Polymerization, to fuse the three knights into [Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker ~ Tei No Kishi Arcana Knight Joker - 9/3800/5200: This fusion monster can be played only with the above mentioned cards. When this card becomes a target as a result of the effect of a monster, spell, or trap card controlled by your opponent, discard a card with the same type as opponent's card from your hand to negate that effect. This effect can only be used once per turn].

Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker appears on the field, faces attacking Barbaros the King of Sacred Beasts, and cuts it in two pieces. This strike reduces Yakou's LP to 2100 (4000+1900-3800), and here seems to be the end of Yugi's turn. Seeing Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker with 3800 attack points, Gekkou thinks that Yugi dominates the game suddenly.

Kaiba sees that Yugi has given up summoning gods buy played with the fusion monster. Anyway, he knows well that Yakou's deck can specially change by quick summon of devil gods, so Kaiba doubts for how many turns Yugi can bear it.

In Yakou's turn, he reminds him of what Yugi told me not to be frightened by gods. Thus, he tells Yugi back to be better be frightened by the beating of gods approaching. At this moment, he opens his face-down trap card, [Level-Resist Wall - Trap: Activate when one of your monsters is destroyed. Special Summons 2 or more monsters equal to the same number as the star level of the destroyed monster in defense position].

According to its effect, Yakou can special summon two or more monsters until they have a combined level equal to the level of the destroyed monster. Barbaros the King of Sacred Beasts has 8 stars, so [Angel01 - 1/200/300], [Caacrinolas - 3/1000/1200], and [Leraje the Lord of Archery ~ Kyuushin Leraje 4/1800/1600] with total combined number of 8 are special summoned onto the field in defense position.

Yugi is very amazed by that Yakou can suddenly gather three monsters onto the field. Yakou tells Yugi that he hasn't normal summoned a monster in his turn yet. Yugi again looks surprised. Yakou declares to summon the 4th monster, [Botis - 4/1700/1900] onto the field in defense position. Because his monsters all have lower attack points than Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker, Yakou ends his turn at this point.

Kaiba analyzes the game that Yakou summoned 4 monsters in his turn. By this, if he has a god card on his hand, it may be coming next. The turn now comes to Yugi. Drawing a card, he declares the attack of Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker to destroy Botis. Anyway, Yakou smiles and tells Yugi that there are other three monsters left. Yugi looks at him seriously before setting up a face-down card and ending his turn.

Yakou laughs loudly. Gekkou sees that Yakou now has 3 monsters and the turn is with him. It's a good condition for advent of gods. In Yakou's turn, he declares that he will let Yugi taste his devil god. He offers his three monsters as tributes, summoning the first devil god, [The Devils Eraser ~ Jyashin Eraser - 10/0/0: A god who erases another god. When Eraser is sent to the graveyard, all cards on the field go with it. Attack and Defense points are 1000 times the cards on the opponent's field] onto the field in attack position.

Everyone looks very surprised by the appearance of The Devils Eraser. Yakou declares that the attack and defense points of this god are equal to 1000 for each card on Yugi's field. Yugi has Queen's, Jack's, King's Knights, and a face-down card, so there are 4 cards on his field totally. These cards boost up the attack points of The Devils Eraser to 4000 (4*1000). Yakou declares the attack of The Devils Eraser to destroy Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker of Yugi. He plans to blow away Yugi's hope.

Note: By some reason, manga doesn't send the material fusion monsters, Queen's, Jack's, and King's Knights, into the cemetery. It takes three of them to remain on the field and doesn't consider their fusion monster, Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker, as a monster on the field to enhance the power of The Devils Eraser. In real game, Yugi should have only two cards, Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker and a face-down card, on his field and The Devils Eraser should have only 2000 (1000*2) attack points. Manga just presets differently so that The Devils Eraser can destroy Heavenly War Arcana Knight Joker. Thus, we note this as a difference in manga game play.
