Yu - Gi - Oh ! - Duel 038 The Terror of Blue - Eyes ! ! is the thirty eighth chapter of the Yu - Gi - Oh ! manga . This chapter was originally printed in the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in Japanese . Its first English release was in the Shonen Jump magazine . It has been reprinted in volume 5 of the tankōbon . Summary . The crowd start cheering that the Duel is over as no card can beat the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " . Kaiba tells Yugi to draw ; no matter what card he gets , the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " will blow it away . Yugi sweats and draws " Imp " . " No good " , he thinks , " the card won ' t last more than an instant " . He plays it in Defense Mode , and watches it get destroy ed by the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " . Kaiba says that it is painful to watch ; As long as Yugi keeps playing his monsters in Defense Mode , it doesn ' t matter how many get slaughtered , his Life Points will stay the same , but all he is doing is prolonging his inevitable demise . Yugi thinks that Kaiba is right , if he plays a monster in Attack Mode , he will lose . Kaiba tells Yugi to play his next monster . Eventually , he ' ll run out of cards , then lose . Yugi looks at his hand . That ATK scores just aren ' t high enough . He plays " Beaver Warrior " in Defense Mode . Kaiba yells " Attack ! " then pauses and asks if that is what Yugi expects hi to do . Kaiba opts to draw another card and increase his army , rather than put " Beaver Warrior " out of its misery . Yugi worries . He knew that this was bound to happen . Each of his monsters can only defend the attack of one enemy monster , but if Kaiba brings out more monsters , he won ' t have enough defenders to block all of them and will lose next turn . Kaiba draws and says that it looks like the Goddess of Victory is on his side . He has drawn another " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , which he Summons . On his next turn , Kaiba plans to attack with the two of them and end Yugi ' s life . Yugi gulps . He can play another monster he thinks , but on the turn after that , he ' d be defenseless , since the dragons can kill two of his monsters , while he can only play 1 per turn . Yugi thinks that he ' s lost . Kaiba smiles that he has won . The audience also yell that Kaiba has won and there is nothing Yugi can do to stop it . Jonouchi mentally urges Yugi not to give up until the end . Yugi closes his eyes and suddenly sees his grandfather . Yugi decides not to give up and believes that he is not fighting this Duel alone . Yugi draws his next card , thinking everything rides on what it is . He gets the Spell Card , " Swords of Revealing Light " . He plays it causing the swords to bind the dragons and prevent them attacking for three turns . Kaiba gets annoyed over Yugi ' s persistence . Jonouchi and Anzu compliment Yugi ' s move . Kaiba remarks that Yugi has used up the last of his luck . He has only bound the dragons for three turns . What can he do in that short amount of time , Kaiba asks . Yugi thinks Kaiba is right . All he has done is extended his life , there ' s nothing more he can do . Kaiba begins his turn and draws an unnamed kappa monster . Kaiba plays it in Defense Mode , sparing the pleasure of finishing Yugi off for the " Blue - Eyes White Dragons " . Kaiba begins the countdown to Yugi ' s death and says that he has three turns . Yugi looks at his hand . He has 4 cards . One is an unnamed wolf monster . He thinks that can use that one in battle , but the other three ; " Right Leg of the Forbidden One " , " Left Arm of the Forbidden One " and " Left Leg of the Forbidden One " are useless . He doesn ' t know they mean and thinks that there is no way that they can beat Kaiba . " Swords of Revealing Light " , was only a ploy for time , he tells himself and believes that he is really going to lose . " Regular " Yugi drifts away from Dark Yugi and sees his grandfather , who asks if he ' s giving up and comments that it ' s not like Yugi . Yugi asks what else can he do . Grandpa reminds Yugi that he was suffering once before and asks how he overcame that . Yugi replies that it was because of the Millennium Puzzle . Grandpa nods and continues that Yugi put each piece of the Puzzle in its place . He didn ' t give up , believed in himself and competed the Puzzle , even though it took eight years . Grandpa says that there is nothing meaningless in the world , like pieces of a puzzle and the cards . Grandpa walks away , leaving Yugi wonder what he meant . Dark Yugi gasps and suddenly realizes something . He wonders if the Deck could contain " Exodia " . A vision of Grandpa appears next to him , reminding him that there are no meaningless cards . Yugi looks at his cards and remembers something that Grandpa once told him : In Duel Monsters , cards usually work alone . One card Summons one monster . However there is one monster that is different . It is an experiment made by the makers of Duel Monsters , where you have to collect five cards in order to Summon it . A flashback shows Grandpa telling Yugi this and saying that the odds are against it . Very few people know what the cards are for and no one has ever collected all five and use them in a game , so nobody has ever seen the Summoned God Exodia . Yugi looks at his hand again , he has the legs and the left arm . He now understands that he must collect all the sealed parts of the body . Kaiba accuses Yugi of stalling and tells him to draw his card . Yugi draws and gets " Right Arm of the Forbidden One " . Kaiba notices that Yugi ' s expression has changed . But regardless there are no cards better than " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , he thinks , so Yugi ' s last hope is like the flicker of a candle before it is blown out . Kaiba begins his turn and draws " Judgeman " . Kaiba finds it dull just sitting there , so he Summons " Judgman " to destroy Yugi ' s monster , saying the stress will do Yugi good . " Judgeman " attacks and destroys " Beaver Warrior " . Kaiba smirks and says that there are only two turns left . Yugi draws " Dark Magician " . He could play it in Defense Mode , he thinks , but that won ' t be much use against two " Blue - Eyes White Dragons " . Yugi Summons " Dark Magician " to kill the " Judgeman " . Kaiba comments that this is just the futile struggle of the condemned . " Dark Magician " uses its " Black Magic " attack to destroy " Judgeman " . Yugi insists that he won ' t give up until the Duel ends and he will take every chance he gets to chip away at Kaiba ' s Life Points . That move took away 300 , lowering Kaiba ' s Life Points to 1000 . Kaiba says that it is the last turn , Yugi has no chances left . He draws and Summons the third " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " . Its uses its " Burst Stream of Destruction " attack to destroy " Dark Magician " . Yugi gulps , as he is left with 200 Life Points . Kaiba roars with laughter and tells Yugi to draw his last card . No matter what he gets , he shall die . " Swords of Revealing Light " wears off at the end of Kaiba ' s turn , freeing the other two " Blue - Eyes White Dragons " . The next turn , the three shall attack together and give Yugi a negative 8800 Life Points , he laughs . Yugi sweats and begins his last turn , with his life depending on what card he draws .
