It was later reprinted in volume 3 of Yu - Gi - Oh ! R . Summary . Gekko repeats that he has no Monster Card s in his hand . Ted laughs , commenting that Gekko ' s kidding , and wondering if it ' s hand trouble . Yugi and Anzu are shocked , while Bandit Keith just smirks . Ted snickers , calling it unbelievable . Gekko drew new cards so many times , and still got no monsters . Either he ' s got terrible luck , or his deck balance is awful . He adds that Gekko ' s side of the field is deserted , and if he can ' t summon a monster by the next turn , his powered - up " Assault Lion " will attack , and it ' ll be game over . Bandit Keith interrupts , calling Gekko ' s hand trouble a joke . He gets what Gekko ' s planning ; he has to have and excuse for Yugi when he loses . If Gekko loses on purpose , Yugi would get kicked out of the building , and the R . A Project would suceed . He calls Gekko a " great brother . " Worried , Anzu whispers Yugi ' s name , but he merely replies that he thinks that Gekko and Yako are a little like him and " the other him . " " The other him " has always been with him , while Gekko ' s other self has been warped by the Wicked Gods . Gekko ' s fighting this battle to get back a part of himself , and that ' s why he can ' t lose . Ted snorts , suggesting that they say that ' s true . How ' s Gekko supposed to fight like this ? He ' s got no monsters in his hand , nor a guard monster on his field , and on Ted ' s next turn , his " Assault Lion " will rip his Life Points to pieces . He asks if Gekko wants to surrender and get it over with . Gekko agrees ; he ' ll get it over with . Ted begins to laugh , but Gekko cuts him off - that ' s because Ted is about to lose . Gekko activates " Armament Reincarnation , " allowing him to summon all the Equip Card s in his Graveyard as monsters , each with 500 ATK and DEF , plus the bonuses applied to them if they were monsters equipped with their own Spell card forms . Five figures of white flame appear in front of Gekko . Ted protests that Gekko didn ' t use all those Equip cards and must have miscounted , but Keith knows what ' s happened - Gekko ' s been using his " Graceful Charity " to put his Equip cards into his Graveyard . He thinks that this is bad . Ted tells Gekko that all his monsters are just small fry , and they can ' t take down his " Assault Lion . " Then he realizes that Gekko must be planning to use them as a defense to survive another turn . But it won ' t work : Ted ' s face - down card is " Stop Defense . " If he puts even one of the monsters into Attack Position , Gekko ' s dead , and it ' s all over on the next turn . Gekko warns Ted that there is no " next turn . " He told him - the Duel ends now . He asks Ted to let him show him " his " face - down card , and Keith realizes what the card is as Gekko activates " Power Connection . " All of his monsters will gain 500 ATK for each other monster of the same type , 2000 points each . Both " Spirit Slayer " and " Neon Laser Blaster " rise to 3000 ATK , while all the others rise to 2500 . Ted screams in horror as " Spirit Slayer " attacks " Assault Lion , " using its effect to lower " Assault Lion ' s " ATK by 500 , to 2600 , allowing " Spirit Slayer " to destroy it and reduce Bainas to 3600 Life Points . He stutters that this is the strategy of a " Perfect Duelist " as the rest of Gekko ' s monsters wipe out his remaining Life Points . Gekko tells Ted that he loses . Yugi and Anzu rush over to him , and Yugi congratulates Gekko . Gekko thanks Yugi for believing in him until the end . He couldn ' t have fought if Yugi hadn ' t . Yugi suggests that they fight together from now on , and Gekko agrees , smiling . Still down on his knees , Ted mutters that Gekko wiped the floor with him . Keith suddenly kicks him under the chin , furiously asking what kind of Duelist he is . Ted crashes through a glass wall , and Keith yells that Ted was supposed to thrash Gekko , asking him how he could lose that match . He yells that this is why Ted owes him so much money , and Ted calls himself a Card Professor . He picks Ted up by his collar , telling him that his debt just doubled . Ted , however , has passed out . Keith looks sideways at Yugi and Gekko before dropping Ted . Yugi tells him to give them the key card so that they can get to the next block , or is he going to fight them next ? Bandit Keith tells them to hold their horses - he doesn ' t have a key card . Yugi and Gekko blanch , but Keith explains that he doesn ' t need one . He ' ll take them right to Yako Tenma . Meanwhile , Jonouchi and Honda scale another flight of stairs , running into a girl in a schoolgirl outfit buying a drink from a vending machine . Jonouchi yells that he finally found her , asking if she ' s the Card Professor for the block . The girl swallows nervously , and Honda notes that she seems kinda shy , as Jonouchi readies his Duel Disk . The girl turns and flees , much to their shock . Jonouchi wonders what she ' s doing , and Honda rushes after the girl , telling " Katsuya " ( he normally calls him by his last name , Jonouchi ) to go after her . The panicked girl reaches an elevator , but the button doesn ' t work , and Jonouchi and Honda catch up with her . Honda asks her why she ' s running , and the girl admits that she doesn ' t know . She apologizes , explaining that she ' s a little scared of Duelists . Jonouchi asks if she ' s really the Duelist that is in charge of this block . The girl admits that she is . She told everyone in the Guild that she wasn ' t good enough , but they said that she had to , so here she is . Honda and Jonouchi note that she doesn ' t have any fighting spirit , even as the girl states that since she ' s here she ' ll do her best . Honda speaks up , asking because he thinks she looks like she ' ll say yes , will she just give them the key card ? The girl admits that she doesn ' t know why they ' re here , but she refuses . She made a promise . Jonouchi figures that she doesn ' t look so tough , so he can hurry up and beat her . The girl smiles , and Jonouchi gets flustered . He then states that they ' ll do this proper , introducing himself as Katsuya Jonouchi . The girl introduces herself as Reiko Kitamori , and bows politely , asking him to go easy on her . Jonouchi tells himself to stay focused , and the Duel begins . Featured Duel : Gekko Tenma vs . Ted Banias .
