Yu - Gi - Oh ! R - Duel Round 038 " Clash of the Gods ! ! " , known as " Battle of God Summoning " in the Japanese version , is the thirty - eighth chapter of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! R " manga . It was first printed in Japan on June 21 , 2007 in V Jump magazine . It was later reprinted in volume 5 of Yu - Gi - Oh ! R . Summary . Yako and Dark Yugi face off at the Apex Arena , while down below , Jonouchi and Honda watch over Anzu , who is still trapped in Yako ' s machine . Gekko , Kaiba and Willa Mette watch Yako and Dark Yugi , who ready their Duel Disk s for their Duel , drawing their starting hands . Dark Yugi thinks that he ' ll free Anzu with his own two hands ; and these cards . Yako thinks that Yugi stole Master Pegasus , and inwardly orders Yugi to return Pegasus to Yako . Dark Yugi tells Yako that he coming , and Yako thinks for him to bring it , as Dark Yugi takes the first turn , drawing and then Summoning " Alpha the Magnet Warrior " in Defense Position . He Sets a card and ends his turn . Yako draws , and Sets a card of his own , before Summoing " Beast King Barbaros " - a Level 8 monster . Dark Yugi asks himself if Yako just Summoned an eight - star monster without sacrificing , and Yako explains that " Barbaros " is the greatest of the demigods , the heveanly servants of the Gods , an eight - star monster that can be Summoned without sacrifices . However , without sacrifices , its attack power is lowered to 1900 . He declares " Barbaros ' s " " Tornado Shaper " attack , destroying " Alpha , " remarking that even at 1900 ATK , he ' s still strong enough to defeat Yugi ' s monster . Dark Yugi responds with his Trap Card , " Soul Rope , " paying 1000 Life Points , bringing him down to 3000 , but allowing him to Summon " King ' s Knight " from his Deck . Now it ' s Dark Yugi ' s turn , and he Summons " Queen ' s Knight , " activating the effect of " King ' s Knight " to call forth " Jack ' s Knight " from his Deck . Gekko is impressed at the speed with which Yugi has gathered three sacrifices to Summon a God , but Kaiba remains silent . Dark Yugi knows that his monsters can ' t defeat " Barbaros , " so he Sets a card face - down to end his turn . Yako begins his turn , musing on the three face card swordsmen to call a God - but not if his " Beast King " kills them first . He points out that if even one of Yugi ' s three swordsmen is lost , Yugi can ' t Summon a God during the next turn . Declaring his Battle Phase , he attacks with " Beast King Barbaros . " Dark Yugi laughs , telling Yako not to fear the Gods . He reveals his face - down card ; " Polymerization , " to Yako ' s shock , and fuses his three face card swordsmen into one . A single sword strike bisects " Barbaros , " shield and all , revealing the imperial knight , " Arcana Knight Joker . " The counterattack takes Yako down to 2100 Life Points with one strike . Gekko observes the 3800 ATK " Knight Joker " observing that that move just put Yugi in the lead . Kaiba muses that Yugi gave up on Summoning a God and left the field to a Fusion Monster , but Yako ' s Deck is specifically designed for Summoning the Wicked God s at high speed . Just how many turns will Yugi be able to last with that monster ? His hair shielding his eyes , Yako asks if Yugi said " don ' t far the Gods " . He gives a shark - like grin , telling Yugi that it ' s him that should be afraid . He tells him to tremble at the pulse of the Wicked God . He reveals his own face - down Trap Card , " Level Resist Wall , " allowing him to Special Summon monsters until their combined star Level equal that of the destroyed " Beast King Barbaros . " He Special Summons the Level 1 " Angel O1 , " the Level 3 " Cassimolar , " and the Level 4 " Leraje the God of Archery . " Dark Yugi thinks that Yako Summoned three monsters in an instant , but Yako reminds him that he isn ' t done yet ; he also gets to Normal Summon on this turn . Dark Yugi is shocked ( likely wary of a Wicked God ) as Yako Summons " Votis " in Defense Position , ending his turn . Kaiba admits that Yako ' s impressive ; he can ' t believe Yako managed to Summon four monsters in just one turn . And now , if he has a God card in his hand . . . Dark Yugi draws , and he attacks and destroys " Votis " with " Arcana Knight Joker . " Yako laughs , asking if that ' s all Yugi ' s got . He still has three monsters . Dark Yugi isn ' t happy , but Sets a card and he ends his turn . Yako begins to laugh , first giggling , and then laughing madly . Gekko notes that Yako still has three monsters on the field , and now it ' s his turn . Yako tells Yugi to prepare to feel the terror of the Wicked Gods , and he draws , declaring that it ' s his turn . Grimly , Dark Yugi wonders if this is it . Yako sacrifices his three monsters , chanting " Accept the blood of the demigods ! Consume the sacrifice and become flesh ! " before placing the card in his Duel Disk - " The Wicked Eraser . " It ' s Yugi ' s first face - to - face meeting with the third Wicked God , and he repeats its name in a slow daze . Gekko states that there it is ; the dark God brought forth by Yako ' s spirit . Kaiba observes that this is the third Wicked God , the " Eraser . " Yako explains that the " Eraser ' s " attack points are equal to the number of cards on his opponent ' s field times 1000 . On Yugi ' s field , right now he has the " Jack , " " King , " and " Queen " cards making up his Fusion Monster , plus his single face - down card ; four cards in all . That means the " Eraser ' s " attack power is 4000 . Laughing , he observes that all he needs to do is breathe to kill Yugi , as " The Wicked Eraser " attacks " Arcana Knight Joker " with " Digestive Breath . " Yako smiles , thinking that Yugi ' s hopes are melting away . Featured Duel : Dark Yugi vs . Yako Tenma .
