R " manga . It was first printed in Japan on November 21 , 2007 in V Jump magazine . It was later reprinted in volume 5 of Yu - Gi - Oh ! R . Summary . Hands clasped together and energy blasting from them , both " Obelisk The Progenitor " and " The Wicked Avatar " unleash a " God Hand Impact " at each other . Gekko yells that they ' re going to . . . , while Kaiba grits his teeth . Up on the Duel field , both Yako and Dark Yugi shield themselves from the explosion of light , as Gekko , Kaiba and Willa look on . The two God monsters clash , causing a massive shockwave of light to erupt over the KaibaCorp building , and both Dark Yugi and Yako scowl as they struggle to withstand it . As the Gods continue to battle , Mokuba has noticed the energy increase as well , and he calls the energy insane . It crackles over the Duel Ring Server , and Mokuba wonders if the Server will hold up . Jonouchi and Honda are also blinded by the light , and Jonouchi yells out Anzu ' s name as light erupt from the machine , electricity still covering her silently screaming body . At the top of the roof , cracks begin to appear in " Obelisk ' s " hands , and then " Avatar ' s " forearms begins to shatter . Dark Yugi thinks that " Obelisk is . . . " as the God ' s forearms completely shatter . Yako screams inwardly that " Avatar " is crumbling as the Wicked God s arms are fullly removed . The two God monsters explode , and Yako , gritting his teeth , shields himself from the backlash . Then he sees someone in the light - Master Pegasus . Pegasus turns and he walks away from Yako who desperately begs him to wait , asking his Master why he is leaving him . He clamps his hand over his right eye as the light fades . Yugi , meanwhile , sees Anzu standing before him . She tells him that it ' s okay , and smiles , reassuring him that she ' ll be back before he knows it . Dark Yugi smiles , telling her that he knows as the light fades around him as well . The explosion of energy sends a beam of light into the sky , and dissipates , leaving nothing but smoke as the sun rises . Dark Yugi , with no card on his field , is hunched over , while Yako has fallen to his knees , head in his hand , still controlling the " Metal Devil " and a single face - down card . Gekko whispers that the God and the Wicked God are both gone , with Kaiba and Willa looking on . Anzu ' s spirit returns to her body , and she opens her eyes . Jonouchi immediately asks if she ' s awake , and she blinks , murmuring her friends names . Jonouchi and Honda cheer that she ' s alive , and Jonouchi tells her to hold on ; they ' ll get her out of this machine right away . Honda tears up , he ' s so happy . Anzu thanks them , but Jonouchi tells her not to that them yet : Yugi ' s still fighting up top . They ' ve got to get up there as soon as possible and let him know she ' s okay . Anzu agrees , and the boys help her up , asking her if she can stand . Anzu replies that she thinks so . With Anzu back on her feet , Honda declares that they should go and find Yugi . Mokuba radios in to Kaiba , explaining that the Duel Ring Server has returned to normal . Kaiba switches off his radio , commenting " very good . " He thought so ; explaining to Gekko that since " The Wicked Avatar " was destroyed along with Yugi ' s God , it lost its control of the Duel Ring Server . And Kaiba bets that its influence over Gekko ' s brother is gone as well . Sadly , Gekko thinks his brother ' s name as he looks up at him . Dark Yugi addresses Yako , telling him that they ' ve been fighting all night . The light of a new day has swallowed the Wicked God just like it swallowed the darkness . As tears leak from Yako ' s eyes , Dark Yugi tells him that it ' s time he let go . Yako replies that he ' s gone , Master Pegasus is gone . It ' s all over . Dark Yugi tells him that the two Gods struck at each other with maximum power . Both of them were destroyed , but the two of them are still alive . Yako is on 900 Life Points , Dark Yugi on 98 . Yako states that Master Pegasus went into the light . He just went away , he never looked back . He lowers his hand , claiming that there ' s no point to this fight , not anymore . He lowers his hand over his Duel Disk , and everyone realizes that he ' s going to surrender . Gekko yells at Yako that he mustn ' t end it yet . Yako is shocked , lowering his hand and looking at his brother . Gekko stammers sadly that before he started this battle , he told Gekko that he was like the moon , a reflection of Pegasus . Yako is right , without that light , without Master Pegasus , Gekko is worthless . But Yako is different . Even on the darkest night , he can still keep going . Master Pegasus didn ' t complete the Wicked God cards becuase Yako was already strong enough without them . Gekko admits that Pegasus didn ' t come back to them , he wasn ' t waiting for them at the end of the battle . But someday , when Yako has fought enough and grown enough , he ' ll find his true form , the one that Pegasus saw with his Millennium Eye . And then he won ' t need the Wicked gods or anything like them . Clenching his fist , Yako rises to his feet . He address Yugi , telling him that he ' s not going to give up . Dark Yugi grins ; fine , he says . Then fight him . Yako points out that even though the Wicked God was defeated , his turn isn ' t over yet . He activates the Spell Card , " Level Award " from his hand , raising the Level of his " Metal Fiend Token " to Level 8 . Yako wonders why it is that he can hear Gekko ' s voice so clearly , remembering the statement about his true form . He wonders what his true form could be , and thinks to Yugi that to find out if Gekko really meant what he siad , then Yako has to beat him . He plays his Set card , " Star Level Shuffle . " He replaces the new eight - star " Metal Fiend " with an eight - star monster from his Graveyard , and from the grave he calls forth the eight - star " Beast King Barbaros . " The Beast - Warrior rises up behind Yako , and Dark Yugi muses on the monster . Yako explains that since he Special Summon ed " Barbaros " from the Graveyard , he isn ' t weak like he was last time . This is " Barbaros ' s " true form , his ATK is 3000 . Kaiba muses that so this is Yako . He comments on Yako ' s Level trick tactics , remarking that he might not be possessed by the Wicked Gods anymore , but it looks like he ' s still a strong Duelist . Gekko says his brother ' s name as Yako ends his turn . Dark Yugi tells him that this Duel isn ' t the same as before . Now that he ' s lost the Wicked Gods , this isn ' t a grudge match anymore . It isn ' t about wrath or revenge . This is a battle between Duelists . Yako is surprised by the praise , and Gekko thinks that Yako should show him how he really fights . Dark Yugi begins his next turn , preparing to draw . Featured Duel : Dark Yugi vs . Yako Tenma . " Duel continues from the previous chapter .
