Yugi gets up and says that he is leaving for the final stage , where Kaiba is waiting . Mokuba calls him back , claiming to refuse to believe that he lost . All of his monsters were of higher level and were stronger than Yugi ' s , he says , so there was no way he could lose . Yugi ignores him and walks out . Once outside , Yugi sees Kaiba ' s face on the screens above the Battle Box . Kaiba laughs that he ' s been waiting for Yugi . He congratulates Yugi , saying that he had gotten bored of these amusements . He instructs Yugi to take the path to the elevator and rise to the final stage . Yugi replies that he intends to and orders Kaiba not to go anywhere . Kaiba looks down at Mokuba , who tries to explain . Kaiba says that he has felt Mokuba ' s loser gaze staring at his back for years . He had kept telling Mokuba over and over that if he plays with fire he will get burned . Mokuba tried to plea with Kaiba , but Kaiba continues and reminds him that only the winner is allowed out of the box and a Penalty Game awaits the loser , as that is the law of Death - T .

Mokuba grabs the hand and is pulled out of the box and finds he was saved by Yugi . Mokuba gasps and pulls his hand away . He asks Yugi why he saved him . Yugi replies that he wouldn ' t have won , if he didn ' t have friends who reach out to him . Mokuba thinks about what Yugi said about friends and then recalls his Seto saying that until Mokuba realizes that there is no such thing as brotherly love , he will always be a loser . He clasps his hands onto his head in frustration . As Yugi walks away , Mokuba pulls out a photo of him and Seto , when they were younger . He thinks to himself that his brother has changed and it all started that day . Its like Seto has been possessed by a demon of gaming , he thinks .
