Syrus briefly states some of Yugi ' s exploits , and several flashbacks to the second series anime are shown . Syrus explains that the Deck will not have the Egyptian Gods , but the rest of Yugi ' s signature cards will be included . This doesn ' t explain why they ' re Dueling , and Ms . Dorothy reveals that they were selling tickets to attend the event , and only one remains , so they are settling it in a Duel . Syrus states he ' s already bought his ticket , and he ' s Dueling to get the last ticket for Jaden . The Duel resumes , and Dimitri plays " Heavy Storm " . Bastion Misawa explains that Dimitri copies the Decks of other Duelists , and in this case , he is using Dr . Crowler ' s Deck . " Heavy Storm " destroys his two face - down " Statue of the Wicked " , Special Summon ing two " Wicked Tokens " . He Tribute s them to Summon " Ancient Gear Golem " . He attacks Syrus ' " Jetroid " , but Syrus activates it ' s effect , which lets him activate a Trap Card from his hand . He plays " Magic Cylinder " , negating the attack and inflicting damage to Dimtri equal to the damage he would have taken , winning him the Duel . The Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue students talk amongst themselves as they leave , commenting that they can ' t believe that Dimitri lost to a Slifer Red student , and speculate he could be demoted . Bastion attempts to make him feel better , telling him they all have off - days , but he runs off . At his dorm room that night , Dimtri is enraged that he can ' t win , despite copying the Decks of great Duelists such as Zane Truesdale , Seto Kaiba and Dr . Crowler . He sees the flier advertising Yugi ' s Deck , and formulates a plan . At the Slifer Red dorm , Jaden stares at his " Winged Kuriboh " card . The exhibition opens tomorrow morning , but Jaden suggests they go sneak a peek now . At the exhibition hall , the men that set up the case hand the key to the display case and hall to Dr . Crowler , and he decides he ' ll also take a peek at the Deck early . He enters the hall to find the display case broken into and the Deck gone . Jaden , Syrus and Chumley Huffington arrive at the hall , and meet with Bastion , who also wanted to check the Deck out early . They find Crowler by the broken display case and accuse him of stealing the Deck . He denies it , and they all split up to search for the real thief . Dimitri stands outside , looking through Yugi ' s Deck , and amazed at the power of the cards . Syrus finds him , and Dimtri throws him a Duel Disk , as he wishes to test the power of Yugi ' s Deck . Syrus loses , and the others catch up with him . Jaden challenges Dimitri , with the latter agreeing to return the Deck if he loses . The Duel begins , with Jaden Summoning " Elemental HERO Burstinatrix " in Defense Position . Dimtri plays " Polymerization " , fusing " Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts " and " Berfomet " to Fusion Summon " Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast " in Attack Position , who attacks and destroys " Burstinatrix " . Chumley asks if Syrus has any advice for Jaden , since he just Dueled Dimitri , but Syrus responds that he lost very quickly , just to " Chimera " . Bastion comments that Dimtiri may just be invincible at this point as the weaknesses of Yugi ' s Deck , if there are even any at all , are not known . This wouldn ' t be a problem against just anyone , and Bastion states that Dimtri has a very good memory , and he is able to reproduce the tactics and even the personality of the person he is copying . Jaden plays " Polymerization " , fusing " Elemental HERO Sparkman " and " Elemental HERO Clayman " to Fusion Summon " Elemental HERO Thunder Giant " , who destroys " Chimera " with its effect , but this lets Dimitri Special Summon " Berformet " from his Graveyard in Defense Position . " Thunder Giant " attacks and destroys it . Dimtri Set s a card , and then plays " Monster Reincarnation " , discard ing a card to add " Gazelle " back to his hand . He Summons it in Defense Position before activating " Swords of Revealing Light " , meaning Jaden cannot attack for three turns . Jaden Summons " Dark Catapulter " , planning to use its effect to remove a Spell Counter from it during his next turn in order to destroy " Swords of Revealing Light " . However , Dimtri states he ' s been waiting for Jaden to Summon a new monster and activates his face - down " Dark Renewal " , Tributing his own " Gazelle " and Jaden ' s " Dark Catapulter " to Special Summon a Spellcaster - type monster from his Graveyard . Jaden objects that Dimttri has no such monsters in his Graveyard , but Dimtiri reveals he discarded " Dark Magician " to pay for " Monster Reincarnation " , so he now Special Summons it in Attack Position . Jaden switches " Thunder Giant " to Defense Position before ending his turn . Dimitri activates " Thousand Knives " , destroying " Thunder Giant " since " Dark Magician " is on the Field . He then attacks directly with " Dark Magician " . Jaden Summons " Wroughtweiler " in Defense Position , and Dimtiri destroys it with " Dark Magician " , activating its effect , letting Jaden add " Burstinatrix " and " Polymerization " from his Graveyard to to his hand . He Summons the former in Defense Position and Sets a card . Jaden thinks to himself that the only card in his hand that could beat " Dark Magician " is " Elemental HERO Bladedge " and he needs a plan to Summon him . Dimtri attacks with " Dark Magician " , and Jaden activates his face - down " A Hero Emerges " . Dimitri chooses the far left card , which is " Bladedge " , who is Summoned in Attack Position . Bastion comments that with no Egyptian Gods present , " Dark Magician " is the strongest card in Yugi ' s Deck , so Jaden may have a chance if he can defeat it . Dimitri laughs at this comment , and plays the Quick - Play Spell Card " Dedication through Light and Darkness " , letting him Tribute " Dark Magician " to Special Summon " Dark Magician of Chaos " , who has 2800 ATK . Its effect lets him add " Monster Reincarnation " from his Graveyard to his hand , and he then attacks and destroys " Bladedge " .
