Yu - Gi - Oh ! R - Duel Round 011 " The Showdown , And Then . . . ? ! " is the eleventh chapter of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! R " manga . It was first printed in Japan on February 20 , 2005 in V Jump magazine . It was later reprinted in Volume 2 of Yu - Gi - Oh ! R . Summary . Dark Yugi tells the Three Musketeers of Face Cards to join together , and tells his new monster to come forth . " He who holds the imperial title , the ultimate fusion warrior , " Arcana Knight Joker " . Tenma can ' t believe that Yugi has fused his three monsters into one without the cost of a sacrifice , thinking that he ' s face - to - face with the Wicked God , and still has the will to fight . He acknowledges it as impressive , but points out that " The Wicked Dreadroot " has 5000 ATK , and his fear power will cut " Knight Joker ' s " ATK in half . His Life Points stand at 2300 , while Yugi ' s are at 1550 , and " Arcana Knight Joker " falls from 3800 to 1900 ATK . Tenma claims that Yugi will never defeat him with a puny swordsman like that . Dark Yugi admits that that ' s true , and a Fusion monster can ' t attack on the turn it is Summoned , so he ' ll end his turn . Tenma laughs , observing that Yugi ' s given up on Summoning his own God , and now he ' s relying on a Fusion monster . He asks if this is the best he can do , now that his God won ' t help him . Dark Yugi replies that he suspects that Tenma will do anything to prevent him from Summoning a God . He asks if his Egyptian God cards frighten Tenma that much , telling Tenma that " he ' s " the one who ' s afraid . Tenma is quiet for a moment , but tells Yugi he can say what he likes ; he ' s about to feel the terror of the Gods . He asks Yugi if he ' s ready , and tells him to shudder before his Wicked God . He orders " Dreadroot " to attack " Knight Joker " with Fear ' s Knockdown , and " Dreadroot " lunges , throwing a massive punch . Dark Yugi plays his Set card , " Spellbinding Illusion " , causing the Wicked God ' s ATK to fall by 500 , to 4500 , and negating its fear power . " Arcana Knight Joker ' s " attack points are restored to 3800 , but Tenma ' s unfazed , pointing out that it ' s a nice try , but the trap won ' t stop the God ' s attack , and he yells at " Knight Joker " to die as " Dreadroot ' s " fist crashes into " Knight Joker " , who blocks the blow with his sword and bladed shield . Tenma is shocked , and Dark Yugi claims " Arcana Knight Joker " to be the embodiement of his fighting spirit , and states that Tenma can ' t defeat them with the power of terror . He activates his Set card , " Weapon Regeneration " , allowing him to reuse an Equip Spell Card from his Graveyard , and he chooses " Lightning Blade " . " Joker Knight ' s " ATK increases by 800 , to 4600 , and Dark Yugi declares " slash through the terror " with " Lightning Thunder Blade " . " Joker Knight " drags his blade across " Dreadroot " , leaving a massive scar on it before it shatters . Tenma appears to emerge from his body , thinking that he doesn ' t believe it - to think a non - God could defeat a " Wicked God " . No matter though ; he ' s already achived his objective . His image fades away , as he thinks " see you later , big brother . " Tenma ' s body falls to his knees , and Dark Yugi begins his next turn , attacking directly with " Knight Joker " . Croquet orders Yugi to stop , and Dark Yugi asks him what ' s the meaning of this . Croquet rushes up to Tenma , and shakes his shoulders . He tells Yugi that Tenma is no longer in any condition to fight , and tells Yugi that they victory is his . Suddenly , Yako Tenma ' s voice sounds out , and he appears on a videoscreen , congratulating Yugi , and admitting that he should have known that Yugi would defeat " The Wicked Dreadroot . " Dark Yugi asks if he ' s speaking to a recording , but Yako tells him that it ' s live - he ' s been on the top floor of the building the entire time , though the person who Yugi has defeated is also him . Dark Yugi asks him what he means , and Yako explains that he hacked Tenma ' s body , took over and controlled him . Tenma is his twin brother , Gekko Tenma . Dark Yugi is floored by the fact that Yako has a twin . Gekko destroys his " Wicked Dreadroot " card , and Yako chuckles , seeing that he ' s broken free of his curse . Croquet helps Gekko stand up , and Gekko groans , muttering Yako ' s name . Yako thanks him , commenting that he ' s managed to advance the R . A . Project another phase . Gekko begs Yako to stop , but Yako ignores him , telling Yugi that he ' ll let him see the results of what happened . He shows Yugi Anzu ' s body , and Dark Yugi is horrified to see that Anzu ' s eyes are blank . Yako caresses her head , telling Yugi that this is the former Anzu Mazaki ; thanks to the energy emitted by " The Wicked Dreadroot " , her body and soul have been seperated . Just as he thought , the " Wicked God " released its full power in the heat of battle , and he used that power . Dark Yugi furiously tells Yako to keep his hands off Anzu , and begs her to answer him . Yako points out that its no use . She ' s already a soulless soul , a living mass of meat , a vessel for the next soul . Dark Yugi is horrified , and Yako explains that her soul floats free from her body , which has become a vessel to receive " his " soul - the soul of Maximillion J . Pegasus . His right eye bulges as he explains that the purpose of the " R " ebirth of " A " vatar Project is to summon Pegasus to him once again . In a few hours , he will begin the procedure to transfer Pegasus ' s soul into a new body . He wonders if Yugi can stop him , and cuts the feed with a laugh . Gekko tells Yugi that Pegasus sold his soul to see his beloved Miss Cyndia one more time , and Yako is the same way ; he ' d do anything to see Master Pegasus again . He wants to see him too . Dark Yugi grabs Gekko ' s coat lapels , and Gekko states that he doesn ' t want it so badly that he ' d sacrifice someone for it . He tried everything that he could think of to dissuade Yako from this folly , but he ' s overflowing with power from the Wicked Gods . He used that power to supress Gekko ' s consciousness and control his body . Dark Yugi lets Gekko go , and Gekko explains that their Duel was all part of Yako ' s plan . He needed to Summon " Dreadroot " to produce enough mystic energy to seperate Anzu ' s soul from her body . He states that he shouldn ' t have Summoned " The Wicked Dreadroot " and he asks Yugi to forgive him . Then he reminds Yugi that he said he ' d let Yugi see Anzu if he won , and explains that her spirit is trapped in the Duel Ring Server . If he puts her card in his Duel Disk , he ' ll see . Holding up Anzu ' s Soul Prison card , he puts the card in his Duel Disk . Anzu appears in front of him as a hologram , gasping in surprise , and sees Yugi . They call out each other ' s names , and she dives forwards , her image passing right through him . She looks saddened , but turns around and thanks Dark Yugi for coming to save her . Gekko explains that she was likely watching everything through the Duel Disk , and Dark Yugi desperately vows to save her . Anzu calms him down , asking why he ' s all freaked out . She points out that he ' s a man , isn ' t he ? She tells him to keep it together , patting his shoulder , but her hand passes through him once again . She yanks her hand back , remarking sadly that they ' re so close , but they can ' t touch . It feels lonely . Meanwhile , Kaiba ' s fighter plane has entered Japanese airspace , as stated by Mokuba . Kaiba chuckles , declaring full speed to Domino City . Featured Duel : Dark Yugi vs . Yako Tenma .
