Duelist " manga in the English version and the seventy - fifth chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " in the Japanese version . Its name is a reference to the earlier chapters " " and " " . It was first printed in Japanese in the " Weekly Shōnen Jump " magazine . It was reprinted in volume 2 of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist " and volume 6 of the bunkoban . Summary . Much to Dark Yugi ' s surprise the ventriloquist has just Summoned " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , a card which is only owned by the real Seto Kaiba . Mokuba warns Dark Yugi to be careful ; Industrial Illusions sent a spy to steal Kaiba ' s Deck . Saruwatari thinks to himself that this is just the beginning ; even if Dark Yugi defeats the ventriloquist , there are plenty of other Player Killers mixed in with the Duelists brought to the island . The ventriloquist silently laughs and thinks that Dark Yugi cannot win , as his guilt and Kaiba ' s cards will smother him . He gets the Kaiba puppet to claim that he is really Kaiba borrowing the body of a doll , so that he can get his revenge on Dark Yugi . Dark Yugi starts to wonder if part of Kaiba ' s soul , which contains his undying grudge and thirst for vengeance , really is part of the doll . He wonders if Kaiba will always be his arch - rival . Jonouchi tells Dark Yugi to calm down and Honda insists that the it is just the ventriloquist throwing his voice . As the Duel continues , the ventriloquist has the puppet forfeit his attack to play a card face - down instead and laugh that soon Dark Yugi ' s monsters will have nowhere to run . Dark Yugi begins his turn and wonders if the face - down is a Spell or Trap Card . Since his " Dark Magician " isn ' t powerful enough to compete with the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " in battle , he switches it to Defense Mode . He also Summons " Curse of Dragon " in Defense Mode . The puppet laughs that he knew Dark Yugi would do that and says that it won ' t save him , as he activates his face - down Trap Card , " Stop Defense " . This switches Dark Yugi ' s monsters to Attack Mode , meaning that he can take damage to his Life Points if they ' re destroyed in battle . On the ventriloquist ' s turn , " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " uses its " Burst Stream " attack to destroy " Curse of Dragon " , dropping Dark Yugi ' s Life Points to 1000 . Dark Yugi starts to panic and wonders how he can win now . Saruwatari laughs and comments that he bets Kaiba is happy if he ' s watching from Heaven . Mokuba ' s eyes began to tear and he angrily says that his brother isn ' t dead . Dark Yugi had told him before that Kaiba would come back and he had believed him , Mokuba says and asks Dark Yugi where he is , as he has been waiting a long time . Dark Yugi thinks that Mokuba is right and he too has faith in Kaiba . He thinks to himself that he won ' t lose and begins his next turn . Dark Yugi activates " Magical Hats " , hiding " Dark Magician " under one of four hats . " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " can only attack once per turn , so Dark Yugi hopes it attacks an empty hat . The ventriloquist begins his turn and has the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " attack a hat , which turns out to be empty . On his next turn , Dark Yugi plays another card . The ventriloquist can ' t see the card and wonders if it went under one of the hats . Dark Yugi explains that there are three top hats remaining ; if the ventriloquist attacks the right one , he ' ll destroy " Dark Magician " , but if he chooses the wrong hat , he ' ll activate the Trap Card that was just Set . The ventriloquist attacked the middle hat . However this contained the Trap Card , " Spellbinding Circle " , which ensnared the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " within a hexagram and reduced its ATK from 3000 to 2300 . With the dragon weakened , Dark Yugi got " Dark Magician " to emerge from its hat and attack and destroy " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " with its " Black Magic " attack . The ventriloquist ' s Life Points drop to 700 and Dark Yugi ' s friends celebrate him beating what they believe to be the world ' s rarest card . Much to Dark Yugi ' s surprise the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " reappears and destroys " Dark Magician " , dropping him to 500 Life Points . The ventriloquist has the puppet ask what the matter is and remind Dark Yugi that Kaiba has three " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " cards and he just after playing the second one . Thinking that there are no cards in his Deck that can defeat a " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , Dark Yugi thinks he has lost . He Summons " Feral Imp " and ends his turn . The ventriloquist laughs that this is the end and declares an attack on " Feral Imp " . However the dragon refuses to attack . Standing up and disregarding the puppet , he demands to know what was happening . The dragon then begins to disappear . He wonders what ' s going and drops the puppet . Dark Yugi suspects that this is to do with the real Kaiba . Meanwhile in Kaiba Manor , Kaiba awakes from his coma and steps out of his wheelchair . His maid was just about to enter the room as this happened and she dropped her tray in surprise to see him awake . Kaiba looks out the window and thinks " Yugi . . . " . Featured Duels .
