[ Translating ]

The duel between Yugi VS Leon continues. Leon activates a magic card Stromburg Castle of Gold following his brother's direction in order to destroy Kaiba Corporation. Virus is released into KC's main computer system without stopping. One way to stop it is to destroy Stromburg Castle of Gold. However, any trap or magic cards have no effect to this field magic card. This card combines power of magic and trap together. Although Leon surrenders in this game, the virus is still spreading. People are very worried what they should do.

Siegfried is amazed when Yugi announced that he would destroy Stromburg Castle of Gold. Yugi strongly shows his confidence to his words. People are all worried about this current and wonder how Yugi will do. Although Leon surrenders or stops the game, Stromburg Castle of Gold is still activated. Also, any magic or trap cards have no effect to it. Then Kaiba decides to leave the game, walking out off the game. Siegfried asks whether Kaiba is running away from the situation. So, Kaiba claims that this duel is Yugi's battle. However, he has his own battle waiting for him. Mokuba and Isona starts following Kaiba to the controller room. Siegfried thinks that whatever Kaiba is going to do is useless and too late.

On the other side, Yugi tells Leon, who has been very depressed, to go on the duel with full capacity. He will not give up, no matter what, and needs Leon's help to let this game end. Leon believes in Yugi, so he stands up and keeps on the duel. Turn comes to Yugi. While Yugi is drawing a card in his stand-by phase, Siegfried declares another effect of Stromburg Castle of Gold. Black Magician Girl is suddenly forced to attack Leon's Horse Carriage of Pumpkin and then the attack is reflected to itself. As a result, Black Magician Girl is destroyed. Siegfried explains that by the effect of Stromburg Caslte of Gold, both players must engage all of their monsters to battle in their battle phases. In addition, when the opponent's monster attacks the player, a half of the monster's attack points is dealed to the opponent. Then the attacking monster is destroyed. Accordingly, Black Magician Girl was destroyed that lets Yugi's LP go down to 1700 (2200+1000-500). When Black Magician Girl is destroyed, its Glass Slipper is equipped back to Cinderella and increases its power by 1000. So Cinderella has 1300 points in total (300+1000).

Note: Black Magician Girl's attack points are 1000 because it is equipped by Glass Slipper of Leon, which reduces the attack power of the opponent's equipped monster by 1000. Therefore, a half of Black Magician Girl's current attack points, 500 (1000/2) is dealed to Yugi following the effect of Stromburg Caslte of Gold.

On the other side, Kaiba, Mokuba and Isona has reached the main controller room. Kaiba makes a command to his officers while Mokuba offers his help to his brother. So Kaiba lets Mokuba handle E-Level security (I have no idea what kind of E-Level means *_*). Everbody starts doing his work to withstand the current crisis.

Back to the duel. Yugi is in a big trouble now, thinking that the various effects of Stromburg Caslte of Gold. Any trap or magic cards can't affect Stromburg Caslte of Gold. Also, the summoned monster is forced to attack and destroyed. Then a half of its attack points is dealed back to him. Anyway, Leon looks more worried than does Yugi. Seeing that, Yugi onces tells him not to give up easily. What kind of the situation is, Yugi won't definitely give up the game. Setting a card, Yugi ends his turn.

Revenge of Black Evil Magic Kuro Mashutsu No Houfuku Trap Card

Turn comes back to Leon who seems to get confused about the situation. Seeing Yugi's play as a true duelist, Leon decides to go on the duel with his strong belief in Yugi. While Leon draws a card, Seigfried declares another effect of Stromburg Caslte of Gold. As long as this card remains on the field, in the stand-by phase of Leon, Yugi has to pay for cost of maintaining Castle of Gold by putting a half of cards in his deck into graveyard. Everybody is again very shocked by that dreadful effect. Leon really doesn't understand and asks his brother what is going on. Anyway, Siegfried doesn't care, telling Yugi to discard a half of cards in his deck into the graveyard and telling Leon to summon a monster with level 4 or less from his deck. It seems that Siegfried becomes the leader who conducts this duel now. Everything has run as he planned. He just waits until main computer of Kaiba Corporation is totally time. The KC system is mulfunctioned and affacts all duel disks currently used in the entire world. Simulation doesn't work smoothly as usual. Seeing Leon's act, Yugi has to tell him to keep on the duel again. So Leon summons Landlady of the Wood (3/1800/300) from his deck following the effect of Stromburg Caslte of Gold. Then Leon moves into his battle phase. People are very worried because Yugi has no monster left on his field but a reversed card. Cinderella starts an attack first. Its Glass Slipper deals direct damage of Cinderella's attack points (1300) to Yugi following the effect of Horse Carriage of Pumpkin. As a result, Yugi's LP highly goes down to 400 (1700-1300). Siegfried is very glad that this is gonna be the end of Yugi. Then Land Lady of the Wood (1800) starts the second attack. Suddenly, Yugi opens his trap card, Revenge of Black Evil Magic (Kuro Mashutsu No Houfuku). This card can be played only if the opponent attacks. It allows Yugi to summon a magician from his graveyard onto the field. Accordingly, Yugi chooses to resummon Black Magician Girl. Black Magician Girl counterattacks Land Lady of the Wood, so Leon's LP goes down to 1900 (2100+1800-2000). As a result of Revenge of Black Evil Magic's effect, Black Magician Girl must be disappeared at the end of the opponent's battle phase. Doing nothing else, Leon declares to end his turn.

Royal Straight Slasher Monster Card

Turn is back to Yugi. Drawing a card, he declares that three turns has already passed. So Queens Knight that is temporarily sent to the graveyard following the effect Needle of Pongee Thread (in episode 197) is resummoned back onto the field. Setting two cards on the field, Yugi plays a magic cards, Card of Sanctity (Ten Yori No Housatsu), which allows both Leon and Yugi to draw cards until they get six cards on hand. After that, Yugi summons Kings Knight (1900) in an attack mode. When Kings Kinght and Queens Knight are together on the field, Yugi can summon specially Jacks Knight (1900) from his deck. After that, Yugi plays a magic card, Royal Straight. By its effect, sacrificing King Knight, Queen Knight and Jack Knight, Yugi can summon specially Royal Straight Slasher (6/2400/1350) from his deck, hand or graveyard. Following a special effect of Royal Straight Slasher, Yugi can destroy all of the opponent's cards on the field by discarding 5 monsters with level one to five respectively from deck. Jyonouchi gets it at once. By this effect, Yugi can destroy Leon's monsters without direct attack and Stromburg Caslte of Gold can't deal any damage from Royal Straight Slasher back to Yugi. Stromburg Caslte of Gold will be also destroyed. Accordingly, Yugi discards Kuribo (Level 1), Old Vindictive Magician (Level 2), Giant Stone Soldier (Level 3), Big Shield Guardna (Level 4), and Chaos of Dragon (Level 5). Yugi hopes that this combo can even destroy Stromburg Castle of Gold. All of Leon's monsters are all destroyed as he hoped;however, only Stromburg Castle of Gold remains. All people are surprised and Leon also doesn't understand...

Worm Slip Magic Card

People are amazed by that Stromburg Caslte of Gold wasn't destroyed following the effect of Yugi's Royal Straight Slasher. Jyonouchi is getting mad with stupid effect of Stromburg Caslte of Gold again. There are too many effects to be acceptable. Rebecca thinks that even magic effect can't affect Stromburg Caslte of Gold. After that, Yugi plays a magic card, Worm Slip. The selected monster, Royal Straight Slasher, on the field, is disappeared until the stand-by phase of the opponent. So Yugi doesn't have to follow Stromburg Caslte of Gold's direction to force his monster to attack in the battle phase. After that, Yugi ends his turn. Siegfried sees how good to avoid being attacked Yugi is,forcing Leon to keep on the duel.

Next turn comes to Leon. When Leon draws a card, Siegfried tells Yugi to follow the effect of Stromburg Caslte of Gold, discarding a half of cards in the deck into graveyard, at once. However, this time, Yugi can't do that because he has only one card left in his deck. When Yugi can't satisfy this condition, Stromburg Caslte of Gold is automatically destroyed. Siegfried is very shocked by that. Stromburg Caslte of Gold is disappeared while people are glad with Yugi's great play. Meanwhile, Kaiba and Mokuba see that they can finally stop the virus and the system is returned to be normal. Kaiba notices that Yugi finally destroyed Stromburg Caslte of Gold, so the the virus was stopped. Mokuba is also glad with Yugi. Then Kaiba makes an order to run back-up system of the main computer. Back to the duel, Siegfried is getting furious while Jyonouchi claims that Siegfried's attempt has ended here. Yet Siegfried still believes that his victory hasn't been changed. Yugi has only a card in his deck. That means Yugi has only one turn to go and to win in that turn. Otherwise, Yugi will be aumatically defeated. When there is no Stromburg Caslte of Gold, Leon looks worried about this duel and feels depressed again. Seeing that, Yugi tells him that he will go on the duel as long as there is a card left. From this point on, it will be the real battle between both of them. Then Yugi actively challenges Leon to keep on the duel. As a result, Leon looks happy and enjoys the duel again. By the effect of Worm Slip in Yugi's previous turn, Royal Straight Slasher is returned onto Yugi's field in the Leon's stand-by phase. After that, Leon continues his turn, playing a magic card Raise Dead (Shisha Sosei) to regenerate Cinderella from his graveyard. When summoned, Cinderella can specially summon Horse Carriage of Pumpkin in a defense mode. Sacrificing Cinderella and Horse Carriage of Pumpkin, Leon summons Hexac Rudy (2600) in an attack mode. Then he lets it destroy Royal Straight Slasher. Therefore, Yugi's LP goes down to 200 (400+2400+2600). By Hexac Rudy's special effect, its attack points can be increased by 400 for each of the opponent's monster destroyed. As a result, its attack power becomes 3000 (2600+400) in total. After that, Leon ends his turn. People are worried about Yugi again. Yugi has only one card left in his deck and he has to beat the monster with 3,000 attack points in a turn.

Necro March Magic Card

Final turn of Yugi has come. He believes in all of his cards until the end, so he draws his last card with confidence. Setting a reversed card, Yugi plays a magic card, Emergency Meal, to gain 1000 LP for each a magic or trap card sent to his graveyard. So Yugi sent one of his reversed card into cemetry and his LP becomes 1200 (200+1000). Continuously, he plays Raise Dead to summon Black Magician (2500) from his cemetry. Leon looks very happy to see Black Magician, claiming that Black Magician still has lower attack points than does Hexac Rudy. Anyway, Yugi opens one of his magic card, Necromancy, which allows him to resummon randomly the opponents'monsters with level 4 from the graveyard in a defense position on the opponent's field. However, if a monster summoned by Necromancy is destroyed, Yugi can reduce the attack strength of Hexac Rudy by 600. Therefore, Little Red Riding Hood, Hunter of Forest, Iron Hans and Iron Knight are selected and regenerated onto Leon's field. After that, Yugi plays Scatter Wave (Kakusan Suru Hadou), which allows him to pay 1000 LP in order to let a monster with more than level 7 use its magic to attack all monsters of the opponent in a strike. (Yugi used to use this technique with Black Paladin against Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon of Kaiba at Atlcatraz Duel Tower.) So Yugi's LP goes down to 200 (1200-1000). He first lets Black Magician destroy all defending monsters, Little Red Riding Hood, Hunter of Forest, Iron Hans and Iron Knight. When the four defending monsters are destroyed, Hexac Rudy's attack points decrease to 600 (3000-600*4) following the effect of Necromancy. Continuously, Black Magician destroys Hexac Rudy that eventually lets Leon's LP becomes 0 (1900+600-2500).

Everybody is glad by Yugi's great victory and accepts this wonderful duel. Yugi walking straight to Leon, telling him that Leon is a true duelist who didn't give up in the game until the end. Then Leon starts crying with Yugi's chest. After that, Siegfried is very shocked, walking into the duel stage. He hardly believes that Leon will lose. Anyway, Kaiba reappears there and claims his victory. KC's main computer has already been restored, so Siegfried's plan is ended. Hearing that, Siegfried seems not to accept the truth and tries to claim something else. So Leonhard has to come out and asks his brother stop such the act. He hopes his brother understands that nothing is changed no matter how much both of them try. Seigfried feels very upset at this point and starts falling on his knees. Although he tried very hard, he couldn't even beat Kaiba. Kaiba laughs loudly with his pride and claims that no one can beat him. Then Leon walks into his brother, trying to console him. He has learned and understood everything from this duel. Whatever happens, he shouldn't give up and leave attempt. Also, he doesn't want his brother to leave his wish. Leon would like to become a good support and power of his brother from now on. After hearing what Leon said, Siegfried starts crying and hugging him. Siegfried seems to understand and change his bad attitude. Meanwhile, both Yugi is glad to see the happy ending.

Then Kaiba tells Isona to go on the process. Isona declares formally to public that the winner of KC Grand Prix and the duel king is Mutou Yugi. Yugi's news is broadcasted on television through all over the world. Even Amelda and Varon in Europe or Mai are seeing the news. Most people are glad with Yugi's victory. At the airport, everybodyeverybody is ready to return to Japan. Otogi tells his friends that he will go to Japan again when he finishes his work in USA. Of course, he will go back because he would like to see Shizuka. Hearing that, Jyonouchi and Honda get furious and start attacking Otogi. Professor Hopskins also tells his old friend, Sugoroku, not to push himself too much. Sugoroku says back not to be worried because he has already recovered. However, while moving, he hurts his back again. Lastly, Rebecca says good bye to Yugi. Although she missed to duel against Yugi in this game, she hope she will get this chance again in one day. Yugi hopes so. Then Rebecca jumps over Yugi to hug him. She tells Anzu that she will have fun with people again in Japan later. So, Anzu answers with her bad mood to Rebecca's act that she's been waiting for that day. After that, Mokuba runs towards them, saying that it is time to leave. Therefore, all people hurry to get onto the plane. They are returning to Japan by KC Kaiba Airways. At the same time, Kaiba is standing and looking into the sky from his office room at Kaiba Corporation...
