Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist - Duel 038 " The Final Card " in the thirty - eighth chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist " and the ninety - seventh chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " . Summary . With " Polymerization " , Dark Yugi has just combined " Red - Eyes Black Dragon " and " Summoned Skull " to form " Black Skull Dragon " . The Meikyû Brothers are worried at first , but Meikyû the Younger erupts into laughter and points out once again that the Labyrinth can only be passed using ground units . With its wings the dragon cannot fit through the narrow corridors , while the brothers ' " Gate Guardian " , on the other hand , can attack the entire maze . Jonouchi starts to panic , but then thinks about it ; Dark Yugi knew flying monsters could not pass through the maze , but fused their monsters anyway and deduces that Dark Yugi must have a plan . Dark Yugi assures Jonouchi that he did fine and Jonouchi ends his turn . Kyû starts his turn . He draws " Ryoku " , a card which he says even scares him , and plays it . Dark Yugi is surprised to see such a legendary rare card . " Ryoku " steals half of Dark Yugi and Jonouchi ' s Life Points and adds them to the ATK to the two - piece " Gate Guardian " . The individual ATK of " Sanga of the Thunder " and " Kazejin " rise to 3250 and 3000 , respectively . Together , their ATK is 3500 , enough to beat " Black Skull Dragon " , but Meikyû the Younger cannot attack the turn he plays " Ryoku " . Jonouchi , Anzu , Honda and Ryo Bakura become anxious , but Dark Yugi draws the card " Shift " and comes up with a plan . He moves " Dark Magician " out of its " Magical Hat " and 7 spaces onward , leaving it to stand 1 step from the exit . Meikyû the Elder smirks and thinks to himself that this is foolish as he will have to face " Gate Guardian " if he wishes to get out . Before ending his turn , Dark Yugi plays " Monster Reborn " , but the brothers pay no attention to what he brings back , thinking it will not matter . Meikyû the Elder begins his turn and has " Gate Guardian " attack " Dark Magician " , but Dark Yugi reveals the monster he revived was " Suijin " . " Suijin " reconnected with the rest of " Gate Guardian " , but remained under Dark Yugi ' s control . As the rest of " Gate Guardian " attacked " Dark Magician " , " Suijin " used its " Reflection Wall of Water " to block the attack . Dark Yugi ' s friends are relieved that he and Jonouchi managed to survive another turn , but wonder if they have what it takes to beat the brothers ' boss character . Dark Yugi is certain the brothers will destroy " Suijin " on their turn , leaving them with nothing to block their attacks , so everything rests on Jonouchi ' s next card . Jonouchi begins his turn and draws " Copycat " and gets an idea . He activates " Copycat " , using its effect to copy " Ryoku " . Meikyû the Elder and Younger ' s Life Points drop to 450 and 390 and the ATK of " Black Skull Dragon " is upped to 4040 . The brothers start to worry and Dark Yugi compliments Jonouchi ; with the dragon that strong , they can beat " Gate Guardian " . Meikyû the Younger insists that they are morons and once again points out that the dragon cannot cross the Labyrinth . Kyû begins his turn and has " Kazejin " take out " Suijin " . Having taken care of Dark Yugi ' s shield , he laughs that they will win next turn . As Dark Yugi begins his turn , he says that now is the time he laughs . He reveals the reason for moving " Dark Magician " through the maze , as he plays " Shift " , causing " Dark Magician " and " Black Skull Dragon " to switch places . Using its " Meteor Flare " attack , " Black Skull Dragon " attacks " Gate Guardian " , taking out both " Sanga " and " Kazejin " , and dropping both brothers ' Life Points to 0 . Featured cards .
