He is described as being in respiratory distress , following an angina secondary to psychogenic shock . His heart and blood rate have elevated . Overall he is in an extremely critical condition . On the stretcher , he pants and repeats Yugi ' s name . Arrival at Death T - 3 . In Kaiba Land , Yugi feels Sugoroku ' s heartbeat in his cards , which he realizes is getting faster . He tells his grandfather to hang in there . In order to save him , Yugi thinks that he must defeat Kaiba with the Heart of the Cards . Honda points the the entrance to the next stage up ahead and says that they are getting closer to Kaiba , one step at a time . In his control room , Kaiba observes that Yugi and his friends have made it to Death T - 3 . He does not believe this is outside the realm of chance , but realizes that he has underestimated a number of factors . They are a good team and have been winning the games due to their friendship , so Kaiba decides that he must break this union . He smiles and comments that friendship is just an illusion and everybody cares most about themself . Once Yugi and his friends find themselves in real trouble , they will betray their friends to save themself , which is where Death T - 3 comes in , he smiles . The gang arrive at the entrance to Death T - 3 . Johji has now fallen asleep . Wondering what could come after the Horror Zone , they think that this could be even more cheap and sadistic , since Kaiba designed it . However they find themselves in an empty room and the door slams shut behind them . They look around for an exit and do not find anything at first . Honda notices the ceiling is very high up . It is too dark up there to tell , but there could be an open at the top , he thinks . He sees a hole in the wall about 10 meters up , but there is no way they can climb up to it . Yugi starts to wonder if this was Kaiba ' s plan all along , to get them trapped , but Jonouchi advises him not to give up and suggests that they just wait and see what happens . The group sit on the floor and wait , but after waiting a long time nothing happens . Reminiscing . Yugi thumps his fists on the floor , weeps and apologizes for getting everyone into this mess , saying that it is all his fault ; if he wasn ' t here none of this would have happened . Jonouchi seizes him by the jacket , says that that ' s enough and orders him not to say that again . Honda tries to calm him down , but Jonouchi continues . He asks Yugi not to say stuff like that and if he understands why they came with him . It ' s because they ' re friends , Jonouchi tells him . Honda gets Jonouchi to let go , reminding him that he ' s not the same Jonouchi who used to beat Yugi up . Jonouchi addresses Honda and says that hey have been stupid punks . Honda agrees that they were . Jonouchi claims to have lived in a stupid society , with stupid parents and his stupid self . He never learned to like himself , until he met Yugi . Yugi was an innocent kid that everyone took advantage of , Jonouchi explains , at first he couldn ' t stand to watch him and thought Yugi was an idiot . However , Jonouchi now says that it wasn ' t Yugi he was really mad at . He was mad at himself . Honda says that he knows how Jonouchi feels , he was the same ; he would get so wound up that he needed to pick a fight . It didn ' t matter who with ; some local punks or even a telephone pole . He would hit them with everything he had , he says , but then realized that the person he wanted to hit was himself . Anzu looks at him surprised . He tells Yugi that he can laugh , at what he ' s about to say , but back when he stole part of the Millennium Puzzle , giving it back took him more courage than anything . Ii was at that point that he started to like himself a bit for the first time in his life . He seizes Yugi again , demanding him to he listen . Friends are people who you like and because of them you learn to like yourself , he says and that is why he hangs out with Yugi . So if something is hurting Yugi , Jonouchi wants to share it , because that ' s what friends are for . Yugi wipes the tears from his eyes , as Jonouchi convinces him to not give up . Anzu says that no one learns to like themselves on their own ; it is a game you play throughout life . She gets her friends to look at the room and asks if the white walls remind them of a canvas . She says that she always thought that if she went somewhere special with her friends , she would leave her name there to remember it by . Jonouchi asks if she is a tagger . Anzu laughs and winks as she takes out a marker . She gets Honda , Jonouchi and Yugi to put their right hands out next to hers and draws a symbol of friendship , in the form of a smiley face , across the four of them . The others are confused at first , but she explains that after they graduate and go their separate ways , if they are ever alone , all that they have to do is think of the smiley face and remember being there and being friends . Even when she is studying dance in New York , she plans to always remember the time she spent with them . Although the ink will wear off , the ring will still be there in their hearts , she explains . The game . A giant cube drops from the ceiling just above the four , who leap out of the way . Yugi realizes that this is the game . Anzu picks up Johji , who is still asleep . The next cube falls , just missing Yugi . In his control room , Kaiba smiles and wonders how many of them will make it out without being flattened . Yugi damns that there is no way of telling where the blocks are about to fall ; all they can do is run and dodge . Kaiba smirks that their numbers are a liability in this game ; if one stops to worry about someone else , they get squashed . He doesn ' t believe that they can win without sacrificing their friends . Jonouchi comments that this is like dancing with death and that there is nowhere left to run . Yugi tells them to climb up on the cubes and that the idea of the game is to get out of the room through the hole in the wall . The others follow suit . Yugi advises them to keep away from the edges , because if they get boxed in , they will die . At this rate , Jonouchi believes they will get flattened . They continue to climb up as the blocks fall and pass around Johji , who to Jonouchi ' s surprise can sleep through this . Anzu suddenly notices a rhythm to the timing of when the blocks fall . She wonders if there is a rule to where they fall as well . Yugi understands that since Anzu is a trained dancer , she has talent for reading rhythms . Anzu concentrates , starts to count and on " three " correctly points to where the next cube would fall . Anzu explains that the timing of the cubes is the rhythm and where the cubes will fall are like the steps of a simple dance . The mechanism of the game must be too complicated for the computer program controlling the game , Yugi says , so it has to use a simple dance , rather than a complex one . Jonouchi gets close to the exit , holds Johji and helps Anzu up . Honda is down a bit lower and urges Yugi to hurry up . Anzu notices the rhythm suddenly change and shouts at Honda to look out . The block lands at Honda ' s back , barely missing him . Johji , Jonouchi and Anzu make it out and tell Honda and Yugi to get up there . Honda asks Yugi to take his hand , but Yugi tells Honda to save himself first . Honda refuses and orders Yugi to take his hand , before the exit gets blocked . Honda grabs Yugi ' s hand and lifts him up to Jonouchi , who helps him out . Jonouchi and Anzu shout at Honda to come on and ask what he is waiting for . Honda says that this is as far as he goes and shows them that his jacket is caught between two cubes . He gives a thumbs up and says goodbye , before a cubs falls and blocks the exit .
