Katsuya Jonouchi and Rishid ' s Duel ( manga ) Katsuya Jonouchi and Rishid faced each other in a game of " Duel Monsters " in the second Battle City quarterfinal , in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " manga . Rishid posed as Marik Ishtar for the majority of this Duel , but his sense of honor and fair play , caused Jonouchi to cop the masquerade . The real Marik pushed Rishid into using a counterfeit copy of " The Sun Dragon Ra " , in order to maintain their deception . This angered Ra into attacking both players , leaving them unconscious . Jonouchi was declared the winner , after he stood up and was deemed to have the stronger will to continue . Events . Prior . On joining the eight quarterfinalists , Rishid posed as Marik Ishtar , an enemy of Yugi Mutou , whom Yugi had not met in person . The real Marik operated under the guise " Namu " , to get close to Yugi and his friends . Without Rishid ' s knowledge , Marik added a counterfeit copy of his Egyptian God card , " The Sun Dragon Ra " to Rishid ' s Deck , so he could better play the part of Marik . Jonouchi grew a strong dislike to Marik , having been brainwashed by him , using the Millennium Rod , and was eager to defeat him in a Duel . The Ultimate Bingo machine , selected Duelists 4 and 2 , Katsuya Jonouchi and Rishid , officially named " Marik Ishtar " , for the second quarterfinal . Seeing how frantic Jonouchi was before the Duel , Marik thought he was like a rat in a trap , which was just how Rishid liked his opponents . Kaiba , wanting to witness the powers of " The Sun Dragon Ra " , thought Jonouchi would make a perfect lab rat and hoped he would not lose before Rishid got to play it . Jonouchi declared that he would defeat Marik on the eleventh turn , a prediction that embarrassed Yugi , Mai Kujaku and Hiroto Honda , who felt he was talking nonsense . Duel . 1st turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi ' s opening hand consisted of " Gearfried the Iron Knight " and " Giant Trunade " among others . They were all caught in a gust of wind and released from his grip , but he managed to quickly grab them all , before they blew away . Jonouchi Summoned " Gearfried the Iron Knight " and ended his turn . 2nd turn : Rishid Rishid ' s opening hand consisted of " Judgment of Anubis " , three more Trap Card s , " Royal Temple " and another card . He activate d " Royal Temple " , turning his side of the field into an Egyptian temple . He explained that it was not just a temple , but a sanctuary for the king ' s treasures , filled with traps that pass judgment on thieves and robbers . With it in play , he was able to play up to two Trap Cards per turn , rather than just one . He then Set two Trap Cards and ended his turn , wondering if Jonouchi had the courage to step into his domain . Yugi drew attention to the fact that Rishid had not played any Monster Card s and how it would be unwise for Jonouchi to attack with the Trap Cards waiting . He also noted the ark on the altar in the temple and figured that whatever was inside it was important . 3rd turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi pretended to be scared , but had a plan . He predicted that Rishid was waiting for him to attack , so he could activate a Trap Card . Jonouchi intended to Summon more monsters and refrain from attacking , while allowing Rishid to Set more Trap Cards . He would then activate " Giant Trunade " to clear the Spell and Trap Cards , leaving Rishid open for his monsters to attack directly . Jonouchi Summoned " Panther Warrior " and ended his turn . 4th turn : Rishid Rishid Set two more Trap Cards and ended his turn . With four face - down cards on Rishid ' s side of the field , Yugi suspected he might have some kind of Trap Deck , with no monsters . 5th turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi Summoned " Swordsman of Landstar " , giving his Summoned monsters a combined ATK of 4300 , enough to take out Rishid ' s 4000 Life Points . Jonouchi declared that Rishid had fallen into his trap , as he activated " Giant Trunade " . Yugi got excited and thought that this should result in Jonouchi ' s victory . However Rishid differed and claimed to have been the one to trap Jonouchi . He correctly inferred that Jonouchi thought his Traps were triggered by an attack . He knew that Jonouchi had " Giant Trunade " , judging by how he had not Set any Spell or Trap Cards of his own , which would also have been blown away by " Giant Trunade " . Having waited for Jonouchi to play a Spell Card , he activated " Judgment of Anubis " , negating its effect , destroy ing all monsters on the field and inflicting damage to their owners ' equal to half their ATK ( Jonouchi : 4000 → 1850 Life Points ) . Yugi commented on the frightening nature of Trap Cards , which he accredited to to how they can turn the situation around in an instant and also the mental damage they can inflict on a player . Mai suspected that making an opponent too nervous to attack may be part of Rishid ' s strategy , but Yugi remained confident that no Trap Card could break Jonouchi ' s fighting spirit . Jonouchi claimed to have purposely walked into the trap in order to measure Rishid ' s skills . He admitted to underestimating Rishid and that he was now going to raise his Duelist level to the max , with Rishid being only the twenty - first Duelist to make him play for real . Honda was again abashed by Jonouchi ' s nonsensical self - composure . Kaiba surmised that one cannot dampen the enthusiasm of a moron . 6th turn : Rishid Rishid Set another card and ended his turn . Jonouchi yelled that it was cheap to keep Setting traps and called him cowardly for not attacking . 7th turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi Summoned " Alligator Sword " . With four face - down cards on Rishid ' s side , he deemed it too dangerous to carelessly attack , so he Set " Fairy Box " and ended his turn . Yugi was happy with that move and thought Jonouchi needed to be patient and wait for an opportunity to attack . 8th turn : Rishid Rishid passed and Jonouchi grew anxious over the fact that he was waiting for him to attack . Yugi worried that Jonouchi might lose his cool , which was what Rishid wanted . 9th turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi Summoned " Rocket Warrior " and too prideful to continue holding back , switched it to its invincible rocket mode and attacked Rishid . Rishid responded with " Will of the Wadjet " , changing the course of its attack , redirecting it to " Alligator Sword " . However Jonouchi activated " Fairy Box " , hiding " Alligator Sword " in a box . " Rocket Warrior " flew into one of the box ' s holes , but missed " Alligator Sword " . With his monsters unscathed , Jonouchi said that Rishid had wasted a Trap Card and that he had found a weakness to his strategy . As his Deck was filled with mostly Spell and Trap Cards , Rishid would have no monsters to shield himself . Jonouchi felt that if he got rid of the traps , he could easily defeat Rishid ; a tactic Honda remarked was easier said than done . Rishid asked if Jonouchi was sure , reminding him how he fell for a trap last turn . While Jonouchi was correct in surmising that his Deck contained mostly Spell and Trap Cards , if there were a Trap Card that could take the place of a Monster Card , then his Deck would lack the weakness Jonouchi described . Jonouchi ' s attack declaration allowed him to activate three such Trap Monster s ; three copies of " Embodiment of Apophis " . Rishid stated that like a rat in a trap , Jonouchi had set foot into his trapdoor into Hell and that he should now prepare himself to fall to its very depths . Jonouchi Set " Scapegoat " and the effect of " Fairy Box " disappeared at the end of his turn . He began to accept that he was falling deeper and deeper into Rishid ' s strategy . He calmed himself down with the reassurance that " Scapegoat " could protect him from " Embodiment of Apophis " , but worried about what he would do on the next turn , as he had no cards in his hand that could help him . 10th turn : Rishid Rishid declared an attack with " Embodiment of Apophis " and Jonouchi activated " Scapegoat " , putting four " Sheep " on the field to buffer the attacks . Jonouchi ' s friends celebrated that this should let Jonouchi survive another turn . However Rishid deemed it not good enough , as he activated " De - Spell " , nullifying its effect . Two embodiments attacked and destroyed " Rocket Warrior " and " Alligator Sword " and the the third attacked Jonouchi directly Jonouchi ( Jonouchi : 1850 → 1750 → 1650 → 50 Life Points ) . With Jonouchi having no monsters and only 50 Life Points , Marik believed Rishid to have succeeded and Jonouchi to have no option but to surrender . Kaiba was disappointed , but believed this was the best Jonouchi could have done with his skill level . Jonouchi considered surrendering , but his sister , Shizuka Kawai , pleaded with him to not give up and reminded him how he had given her light when she was wandering in darkness . The mention of " light in the darkness " intrigued Rishid and he asked since he had won if Jonouchi would answer one question for him ; what did he seek by joining the tournament ? Jonouchi replied that there was somebody he had to beat and to get to that point he has had to go a long way , meeting and fighting all kinds of people on the way . Having answered the question , he declared that he now had something to say to Rishid and demanded that he take back the words " since I won " . Having faced opponents who fought him to the end without giving up , he believed it to be disrespectful to them if he were to give up now . Rishid could see no options for Jonouchi to win and asked if it was not also honorable for a Duelist to gracefully turn his back . 11th turn : Jonouchi Although he saw his odds as close to 0 , Jonouchi refused to give up . Dark Yugi asked Yugi for permission to speak and reminded Jonouchi of their " something you can show , but can ' t see " riddle . This time Jonouchi interpreted the answer as being that one can see their Deck , but not the card they are about to draw and that the courage to draw and believe in the power of the unseen card is the strength of a true Duelist . Jonouchi drew " Graverobber " and Set it along with " Foolish Burial " . 12th turn : Rishid Rishid declared another attack with " Embodiment of Apophis " . Jonouchi activated " Foolish Burial " , sending " Jinzo " from his Deck to Rishid ' s Graveyard and " Graverobber " to take " Jinzo " from Rishid ' s Graveyard to his side of the field . The Trap Card - destroying effect of " Jinzo " then destroyed Rishid ' s three Trap Monsters . Jonouchi was thankful to have fought Esper Roba , knowing he would have lost had Roba not given " Jinzo " , a card he called " poison " for Rishid ' s Trap Deck . 13th turn : Jonouchi " Jinzo " attacked Rishid directly ( Rishid : 4000 → 1600 Life Points ) . Jonouchi celebrated and hoped to do that attack one more time . Rishid complimented Jonouchi on his comeback and the pride he displayed in standing up to him against the odds . Still believing Rishid to be Marik , the one who brainwashed him into fighting Yugi in a deathmatch , Jonouchi was unconvinced that Rishid was sincere in his applause . 14th turn : Rishid Marik asked if his eyes deceived him or if Rishid really took a wound from someone like Jonouchi . He told Rishid not to disappoint him too much . Rishid told him not to worry , as he did not fear " Jinzo " and had come up with a plan to dispose of him . Rishid activated " Swords of Revealing Light " to withhold Jonouchi ' s attacks for three turns . 15th turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi Summoned " Legendary Fisherman " , the card he won from Ryota Kajiki , in Defense Mode . 16th turn : Rishid Rishid drew the counterfeit " The Sun Dragon Ra " , but was surprised to see that it was in his Deck . Rishid Set " Cup of Sealed Soul " Marik instructed Rishid to enshrine " Ra " in the ark of his " Royal Temple " . Rishid worried that if the temple were to fall and the card were to lose , then he would be destroyed . However Marik remained convinced that no force on Earth could stop that card . Dark Yugi noted how Rishid had been acting strange since he drew that card . He and Yugi were both concerned about the ark in the temple . The temple allowed Rishid to play more Trap Cards than usual , in order to protect something . They worried that the ark held some kind of secret . With Rishid having been quiet for a while , Jonouchi asked if his turn was over . Rishid replied that it was not and played " The Sun Dragon Ra " face - down in the ark . 17th turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi Summoned " Baby Dragon " in Defense Mode and ended his turn . 18th turn : Rishid Rishid Set " Seal of Selket " and another card . 19th turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi ended his turn , saying that " Swords of Revealing Light " will have worn off by his next turn , allowing him to attack , after which Rishid will be finished . 20th turn : Rishid Rishid explained that it was too late for Jonouchi ' s all - out attack . He had only played " Swords of Revealing Light " to buy time to prepare for a ritual . Rishid activated " Cup of Sealed Soul " and " Seal of Selket " . Having those two cards together with " Royal Temple " and a card sealed in the ark , allowed him to conduct the sacred rite to Summon the temple ' s guardian , " Mystical Beast Selket " , the scorpion god . Jonouchi was intimidated by the size of " Selket " , commenting that it was nearly as big as " Fortress Whale " , and asked what it was . Rishid replied that it exists to guard the card he placed inside the ark . Mai asked Dark Yugi if he thought the card placed inside the ark was Marik ' s Egyptian God . Dark Yugi had suspected the same thing , but had a hunch , which if correct meant Rishid should not have that card . Mentally communicating with Marik , Rishid asked why he had put the counterfeit " Ra " in his Deck . Marik replied that he needed it to pretend to be him . He knew Rishid was concerned about the misfortune that had fallen upon all the Ghouls who had attempted to use counterfeit God cards . But Marik felt that none of the Ghouls in the experimental group possessed the strength of heart necessary to control a God card . With the strong heart Rishid gained living as a Tomb Guardian , Marik thought he would be able to control the fake God card . Rishid apologized and said he did not need God ' s help to win . 21st turn : Jonouchi With no cards capable of defeating " Selket " , Jonouchi switched his monsters to Defense Mode and ended his turn . 22nd turn : Rishid " Selket " attacked " Jinzo " and proceeded to eat it . Jonouchi , Honda , Dark Yugi , Mai and Shizuka were all disturbed by the sight of this . Rishid explained that while unpleasant to behold , this was the ability of " Selket " . By taking enemies inside it , " Selket " adds half of their ATK to its own . Having eaten " Jinzo " , " Selket " got even bigger and gained more ATK ( " Selket " : 2500 → 3700 ATK ) . 23rd turn : Jonouchi Jonouchi panicked , unable to do anything of use this turn and ended . 24th turn : Rishid " Selket " attacked and consumed " Legendary Fisherman " ( " Selket " : 3700 → 4625 ATK ) . Jonouchi apologized to Ryota and Esper , having lost the cards they gave to him . Shizuka grew unable to watch and covered her eyes , but Jonouchi requested that she watch the Duel through to the end , even if he loses . Having found a light called " courage " in the darkness , she no longer needed to hide in the dark , he added . The mention of " light in the darkness " again invoked feeling within Rishid , as he drew parallels to the story to his life . He reflected on his life , growing up with the Ishtar family , who found him abandoned as a baby , and how he scarred his face in a pledge of allegiance to the family . 25th turn : Jonouchi With " Polymerization " , " Giltia the D . Knight " , " Kunai with Chain " and two other cards in his hand , Jonouchi still saw no way of stopping " Selket " and ended his turn . Rishid was still bemused by Jonouchi ' s insistence on continuing , despite his seemingly inevitable defeat . Even if it was useless , Jonouchi vowed to continue fighting until his life hits 0 . Rishid responded that he respected Jonouchi ' s spirit . This sparked a sudden realization for Jonouchi . Mai acknowledged that no matter how much friendship or perseverance a Duelist has in their heart , there are instances where they just cannot win and resigned that this seemed to be one such case . Dark Yugi drew her attention to Jonouchi ' s eyes , which she was surprised to see still carried an intact fighting spirit . But Dark Yugi understood them to be sustaining more than just spirit , but also recognition of a worthy opponent . Jonouchi invited Rishid to bring it on . 27th turn : Rishid " Mystical Beast Selket " attacked and consumed " Baby Dragon " ( " Selket " : 4625 → 5225 ATK ) . 28th turn : Jonouchi Rishid informed Jonouchi that this was to be his last turn . Jonouchi again said that there was nothing he could do and ended . Mai and Honda hung their heads , thinking that this was the end for Jonouchi and Marik complimented Rishid on a job well done . 29th turn : Rishid Jonouchi repeated the " something you can show , but can ' t see " question . He said that had a funny feeling that he found difficult to explain . When he reached the point where he resigned to losing , he saw something he had not seen before . Reiterating how manipulative and unsavory Marik had been , Jonouchi asserted to never forgiving him . Rishid invited Jonouchi to curse him , but apprised that it would not alter the reality of his victory being unachievable . Jonouchi continued , stating that he had hated Rishid ' s guts at the beginning of the Duel , but found it hard to maintain that hatred and bad memories as the Duel went on , because Rishid had been a true Duelist , who fought fairly . He declared that this was because Rishid was not Marik . Dark Yugi agreed that there was a difference in strategy between Rishid and the Duelists controlled by Marik . As Yugi wondered where the real Marik was , Dark Yugi suspected it could be the quarterfinalist that they had not yet seen or " Namu " . Rishid said that nobody listens to the last words of the loser in a Duel and announced that everything was to end this turn . He declared a direct attack with " Selket " , but Marik stopped him and insisted that Jonouchi die at the hands of " Ra " . In order to maintain his deception , he must demonstrate the ability to control " Ra " . As Rishid possessed a will too strong for the Millennium Rod to brainwash , Marik believed him to be capable of controlling the counterfeit and being a member of the Tomb Guardian clan . Rishid argued that he did not possess the blood of the clan , but Marik insisted that if Rishid could do this , his late father would accept Rishid as a son . Rishid announced that for the last turn , he shall prove he is the chosen one of " Ra " . He confirmed that " The Sun Dragon Ra " was the card resting in the ark , before Sacrificing " Selket " and paying half of his Life Points to Summon it ( Rishid : 1600 → 800 Life Points ) . Ordinarily it requires three Sacrifices to Summon an Egyptian God , but since " Mystical God Selket " had absorbed three of Jonouchi ' s monsters , Rishid was able to Summon it with one sacrifice . The ATK and DEF or " Ra " are equal to the total ATK and DEF of the sacrificial monsters , giving it 5225 ATK in this instance . Marik complimented Rishid on Summoning " Ra " and affirmed that this proved he had the blood of a true Ishtar . Kaiba smiled and said that Jonouchi should be proud , since not everyone has the privilege of being crushed by God . Rishid attempted to attack with " Ra " , but the real " Ra " in Marik ' s Deck started emitting an aura of anger . Rather than attacking , " Ra " turned into a black mist and in anger of a counterfeit being used , struck the field with blasts of light . Rishid asked " Ra " if it did not accept him as a successor of the clan and if it was casting judgment on him . Rishid and Jonouchi were each struck by blasts and fell face down onto the ground . Shizuka , Mai , Dark Yugi , Honda and Ryuji all rushed to help Jonouchi , but were stopped by Isono , who pointed out that the Duel was still in progress . Although the last attack injured both players , their Life Points were unharmed . Isono deemed the next player to stand to be one displaying greater willingness to continue and therefore the winner . If neither player could stand up within the turn ' s time limit , they would both be disqualified . In his last moment of consciousness , Rishid looked at Marik , who was suffering an inner turmoil and pleaded with him to not awaken Dark Marik . When Rishid fell unconscious he saw an apparition of Marik ' s father holding the hand of Marik , when he was a child . Marik ' s father looked over his shoulder at Rishid . He commented on Rishid ' s failure to command " Ra " and how he never had the blood of their clan , before walking away , taking Marik with him . Marik nervously looked back at Rishid , before disappearing . Jonouchi dreamed he was at school , being woken up by Anzu , Bakura , Ryuji , Honda and Yugi . As they hurried him into getting ready for a tournament at Domino Toysaurus , he was mocked by Kaiba and dropped his cards in his fluster . His friends helped him pick up his cards and as he walked out of the classroom , he found woke up and found himself standing up , facing Rishid . Jonouchi was disorientated at first , but then remembered being attacked by " Ra " . Isono declared Jonouchi the winner , having been the first to stand up . Aftermath . Kaiba considered it a disgrace that Jonouchi won and wondered why " The Sun Dragon Ra " struck down both players rather than materializing . He then began to suspect that the card could have been a fake . Jonouchi woke Rishid up and the two admitted to being proud to have fought each other . When Jonouchi questioned him about his identity , he simply replied that he was a shadow . Rishid then called to Dark Yugi and tried to plead with him to stop Marik ' s other persona , but fell unconscious again , before he could finish . Jonouchi looked around and asked where the real Marik was . Marik , now completely under Dark Marik ' s control spoke up . He said that Rishid was Marik or at least his shadow and identified himself as the one casting the shadow . He explained that he was a distinct personality from Marik , hidden while Rishid was around . Rishid was taken to the medical room . The doctor was unsure of the exact cause of Rishid ' s problems , but believed he had fallen into a coma , caused by extreme mental shock . Jonouchi wondered why only Rishid was in this condition , when both of them had suffered the same attack . He was disappointed to have not learned Rishid ' s name and further annoyed at Marik for making Rishid act as his " shadow " and then just abandoning him . Mai also felt bad for Rishid , seeing him left all alone by Marik , when things got bad . Jonouchi then realized why he had managed to stand up and not Rishid . He told his friends about the dream he had and how he was able to stand up , knowing he had friends waiting for him , while Rishid must have been all alone . Mai was pleased at the thought of being considered a friend . However when she asked Jonouchi if she was in the dream , he explained that it took place in the classroom and she , being too old for high school , was not there . He joked that she could play the teacher in the next one , before walking away . Anzu noticed the interaction , pulled Jonouchi aside afterwards and yelled at him . Mai was disheartened , but reminded herself that she had always fought by herself before , without needing anyone ' s help . She reserved that she fought alone and when she was drawn as a participant in the next quarterfinal , instructed Jonouchi not to come after he offered to cheer for her . Dark Marik attacked the doctor , who was looking after Rishid . He prepared to kill Rishid , but decided to wait until later , after it was announced that he was to participate in the next quarterfinal . Cards used . The following cards appeared in this Duel :
