Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist - Duel 148 One - Turn Kill , known as One Turn Struggle To The Death ! in the Japanese version , is the 148th chapter of the Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist manga and the 207 chapter of Yu - Gi - Oh ! in the Japanese version . Dark Yugi and Dark Bakura continue their duel in the first round of Battle City ' s Finals . With a special Spell Card , Bakura turns the Duel to his side , with one draw and one turn left before the Destiny Board finishes spelling its message , how can Yugi win in the last round ? . Summary . Dark Bakura reminds Yugi that on the End Phase of his turn , the Ouija Board points to the letter " T " . He comments that Yugi only has one turn left . On his next turn , all five letters of " DEATH " will be completed , and for him , the word will come true . Smiling , Dark Yugi apologizes , claiming that he ' s going to smash Bakura ' s Occult combo on this turn . Dark Bakura is shocked that Yugi claims that he can destroy his Occult combo in a single turn , and he wonders if it ' s a bluff , wondering how he could do so . The score stands with Yugi on 750 Life Points , and Bakura on 3700 . Dark Bakura thinks that Yugi has one face - down card on the field , but no monsters . He only has 750 Life Points left , so if a monster with higher ATK lands a solid blow on him , Dark Bakura will win . His " Earthbound Spirit " has 500 ATK , so he looks at his hand , seeing the 2000 ATK " The Earl of Demise . " If that card ' s attack goes through , the game is his , the only problem being Yugi ' s face - down card . There ' s a chance he could fall into a trap . Marik suddenly contacts him , commenting that " Bakura " isn ' t so brave after all . Dark Bakura furiously retorts that he ' ll kill Marik for that , but Marik tells him to hear him out ; Yugi figured out the weak point in Dark Bakura ' s Ouija Board combo . Marik knows what Yugi ' s face - down card is , but can Bakura guess ? He admits that Bakura ' s Occult combo is an interesting concept , putting an Ouija Board on the field and defeating the enemy in five turns , calling it true ruthlessness , Marik admires him . But remember , the Ouija Board can only be activated under certain circumstances . " Dark Necrofear , " who moves the planchette , must be buried in the Graveyard . In other words , if " Dark Necrofear " is brought back to life , the Ouija Board loses its powers . " Monster Reborn " Dark Bakura gasps . That ' s right , Marik comments . Yugi ' s face - down card is " Monster Reborn . " And sure enough , that is exactly what ' s on Dark Yugi ' s field . Marik points out that even if Bakura attacks Yugi with a monster , he ' ll activate " Monster Reborn " defensively and use " Dark Necrofear " as a shield . Dark Bakura growls , knowing that he doesn ' t have " De - Spell " or any similar cards in his hand . Like Yugi said , his combo will be broken on this turn . Marik smirks , telling him to hold on , there may be a way around it . But Dark Bakura ' s had enough , telling Marik to shut up , claiming that he doesn ' t need his advice any more . He declares his turn , thinking that he ' ll just have to draw a card that will turn this situation around . He draws , and he looks at the card . Then he bursts out laughing , thinking that it ' s over . Now his Occult combo can ' t be stopped . He sacrifices his " Earthbound Spirit " to Summon " The Earl of Demise . " Dark Yugi thinks that here it comes , and Dark Bakura decides to step into Yugi ' s trap . He attacks Yugi with his " Earl , " and the Fiend charges with its sword extended . Yugi immediately activates his Spell Card , " Monster Reborn , " to bring back " Dark Necrofear " from the dead . " Dark Necrofear " emerges from the card , and Dark Bakura gasps , knowing that the Ouija Board will go back to the void . " Dark Necrofear " intercepts " The Earl of Demise , " blasting the monster away with its " Pray for Death " Gaze , it ' s eyes widening . Bakura is reduced to 3500 Life Points , and Dark Yugi tells him that his combo ' s as dead as the corpses he plays with . But Dark Bakura simply laughs , playing a card and asking Yugi if he ' s sure . The Ouija Board appears on his field , and Bakura confirms it , pointing out that the four letters are still there . Despite all his efforts , Yugi couldn ' t escape his death curse that will defeat him on the next turn . Though there is a change on his field , he points out . Dark Yugi realizes that " Dark Necrofear " is gone , and " Dark Magician Girl , " " Gamma the Magnet Warrior , " and " Kuriboh , " are back ( with all but " Gamma " looking very surprised . ) Anzu asks in confusion if she missed something . Jonouchi points out that the monsters that got sacrificed or killed last turn are back on the field . Kaiba wonders in shock what Spell Card Bakura played . Dark Bakura asks if he should reveal the trick . The card he played was this , a Spell Card , " Deja Vu . " Thanks to this card , the nightmare from a turn ago returned . But the " Monster Recovery , " " Chain Destruction " and " Monster Reborn " cards that Yugi used to break the Occult combo do not return to his hand . He grins , claiming that there ' s no way to climb out of the grave he ' s dug for Yugi , on the next turn , he will die with the declaration of " DEATH . " Featured Duels : Dark Yugi vs Dark Bakura . Turn 15 : Dark Bakura < br > Dark Bakura draws ( later revealed as " Deja Vu " ) and then Tribute s " Earthbound Spirit " to Summon " The Earl of Demise " in Attack Position ( 2000 / 700 ) and attacks Dark Yugi directly . Yugi activates his face - down Spell Card , " Monster Reborn " to Special Summon " Dark Necrofear " from the Graveyard in Attack Position ( 2200 / 2800 ) . Because " Dark Necrofear " isn ' t in the Graveyard , " Destiny Board " and the spirit of the marionette ' s effects are negated . As Dark Yugi Summoned a monster , " The Earl of Demise " is forced to attack " Dark Necrofear " resulting in it destroying itself ( Bakura : 3500 ) . Bakura activates " Deja Vu " which returns all monsters on the field to their previous locations in the last turn . After that , each player must Special Summon all of their Monster Cards that were present on their side of the field during the previous turn from their Hand , Deck and / or Graveyard .
