Yu - Gi - Oh ! R - Duel Round 026 " Pegasus ' s Prodigies ! ! " , known as " Pegasus ' Minion ! ! " in the Japanese version , is the twenty - fifth chapter of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! R " manga . It was first printed in Japan on June 21 , 2006 in V Jump magazine . It was later reprinted in volume 4 of Yu - Gi - Oh ! R . Summary . Richie reiterates that only the highest ranked Card Professor gets to use a black Duel Disk . He calls black the sum of all colours , and like a black belt in karate , the Duel Disk is proof that he ' s mastered all the training a Duelist can have . Gekko and Yugi just stare ack at him , and Richie declares that the Duel Disk ' s black gleam will blot out their white , shining hope of victory . Gekko simply murmurs Richie ' s name . The score stands with Gekko on 2400 Life Points , and Richie still on his full 4000 . Yugi thinks that Gekko is fighting to rescue Anzu , to stop this insane plan of summoning Pegasus , and most of all , to get his old brother back . He thinks that Gekko has to win this as Gekko declares his turn . Drawing his card , he Sets a card face - down , and then tells Richie to prepare to face " Wonderbeat Elf , " explaining that it can deliver an extra attack for each other " Elf " present . Yugi thinks that this is good - Gekko has " Learning Elf " on his field , so " Wonderbeat Elf " can take down " Twin Gunfighter " with its first attack , and make a direct attack on Richie with the second . Gekko orders his Elf to attack , and Richie activates a Trap Card , " Theft Whip , " allowing him to gain control of Gekko ' s Equip Card , taking " Shield Reflector " from " Learning Elf , " and then equipping it to " Twin Gunfighter . " The shields effect means that " Twin Gunfighter " will only have half the damage applied to it , while the other half is directed at Gekko . " Twin Gunifghter survives , will Gekko takes half of " Wonderbeat Elf ' s " ATK as damage , 850 , reducing him to 1550 Life Points . And , as Richie points out , " Wonderbeat Elf ' s " special ability will force it to attack again , and Gekko is reduced to 700 Life Points . Yugi is horrified - " Wonderbeat Elf ' s " special power backfired . Chuckling , Richie comments that it looks like the gap is getting wider . From what he ' s seeing , Gekko ' s Deck is made up of Effect Monster s with lower ATK , but powerful abilities . Richie ' s Deck is built along the same lines , but only a few turns in , and look at the gap in their Life Points . He wonders if his draw was lucky , or there ' s a difference in skill here . Gekko admits that Richie may be right about that . After they lost Master Pegasus , he stepped in to rebuild Industrial Illusions in his place , while Richie became a Card Professor and devoted himself to fighting in order to defeat Yugi . Richie asks if Gekko ' s losing because he didn ' t have time to practice , and comments that it sounds like somebody ' s making excuses . Gekko asks Richie , doesn ' t he see ? His growth is a direct result of losing Master Pegasus . Richie is shocked , and Gekko continues , explaining that Pegasus raised them , but now they ' ve learned to stand on their own two feet . And now Richie wants to bring him back at the cost of someone else ' s life ? So they can depend on him for everything the way they did before . Richie yells at him to shut his mouth , asking if Gekko is telling him it ' s good that Pegasus died . Gekko states that of course not , he ' s only saying they can ' t stay Pegasus ' s children for ever . Richie screams that he ' s wrong . A world without Master Pegasus isn ' t worth living in . They lost someone important to them , and they ' re taking him back . That ' s all there is to it . Gekko angrily says Richie ' s name , and Richie states that Gekko has changed . He ' s not like the rest of them . And if that ' s the case , he has to defeat him . He draws , beginning his turn , and Summons " Pierce Musketeer , " telling Gekko to take this . Both of his monsters attack , and Yugi yells his name . Gekko counters with his Trap , " Holy Sacrifice , " using " Learning Elf " to absorb all the damage and destroying it . Richie calls Gekko a wise guy , as Gekko draws a card with " Learning Elf ' s " effect . Relieved , Yugi observes that Gekko managed to get through the turn without taking any damage . Richie Sets a card face - down , and ends his turn . Gekko begins his turn , and activates " Owner ' s Seal , " returning control of " Shield Reflector " to him . Richie realizes that he won ' t be able to inflict any damage with the Shield up , and then Gekko tells Richie that they had no relatives . Their lord , Master Pegasus , was their only family . They both know how much it hurts to lose someone that special . They mustn ' t let it happen to anyone else . Declaring that this is it , he activates a face - down card , " Sacrifice of Grave Goods , " which allows him to count a Tributed monster ' s Equip Card as an additional sacrifice . He Tributes both " Wonderbeat Elf " and the equipped " Shield Reflector " as two Tributes , and Richie lookson in shock as Gekko Summons " Angel O7 , " a Level 7 monster . Richie notes on horror that " Angel O7 ' s " effect will neutralize the effects of his own monsters . Gekko orders " Angel O7 " to attack with Angel Beam Buster , destroying " Twin Gunfighter " and reducing Richie to 3100 Life Points , as Richie angrily reflects that the effect of " Mirage " doesn ' t prevent Battle Damage from when monsters battle . Yugi thinks that Gekko ' s making a comeback as Gekko Sets a card to end his turn . He tells Richie it ' s his move . A frustrated Richie draws , thinking that " Angel O7 " is the worst kind of enemy he could face due to his Deck being , as he ' d said , mainly being made up of Effect Monsters . Setting a card , he also Summons " Grenadier " in Defense Position , switches " Pierce Musketeer " to Defense Position , and ends his turn , causing the effect of " Mirage " to expire . Gekko draws , Summoning " Boomerang Elf " and ordering his monsters to attack . Richie ' s monsters are destroyed , and Yugi thinks that while Gekko didn ' t inflict any damage , he wiped out all of Gekko ' s monsters and he has the upper hand . Gekko tells Richie that it ' s his turn . But Richie states that on this turn , he won ' t do a thing , and ends his turn without making a move . Yugi is shocked , but Gekko tells him it ' s over . Declaring his turn , he attacks , thinking that Richie will let them pass . Richie smirks , activating both his Set card , and blotting out the area with a blaze of light . A horrified Gekko can only gasp , asking Richie how he . . . Gekko ' s Life Points have been reduced to zero , much to Yugi ' s horror . Featured Duel : Gekko Tenma vs . Richie Merced .
