Mokuba sniggers that the machine is rigged to give him powerful monsters and leave Yugi with weak ones . Mokuba ' s monsters are : Yugi ' s monsters are : Yugi suspects the machine is rigged , judging by the difference in levels . The battlefield they are using is Garnaster ' s Border . As they choose the formation for their monsters , Yugi takes note of the two paths leading across the board . They can ' t be passed if there is an enemy waiting , he thinks and comes up with a plan to get around that . Mokuba places his monsters in a checkered line , while Yugi groups his all together . Mokuba laughs at Yugi ' s weaklings all clumped together . However , Yugi knows he cannot beat Mokuba ' s high level monsters if they fights them all one by one , so he feels that this is the only way to face them . The game . The game starts and the holograms of the monsters appear in the field below Yugi and Mokuba . Jonouchi and Anzu , who is holding the sleeping Johji are held at gunpoint , by KaibaCorp ' s guards . Jonouchi cheers for Yugi and thinks to himself that there is no flip side to friendship , so they will stick by Yugi , no matter what . Mokuba goes first and moves " Armorsaurus " . " Armorsaurus " movement pattern is highlighted below him , as Mokuba does so . He tells Yugi its his turn . Yugi sits still and Mokuba yells at him , reminding him that it ' s his turn . Yugi calmly says that he ' ll pass . Mokuba is a bit surprised . He suspects Yugi is up to something , but says he doesn ' t care . Since Yugi won ' t move , Mokuba decides to come to his monsters . He decides to split his monsters in two and attack Yugi from two sides . Mokuba proceeds to move his pieces , while Yugi keeps passing . Eventually Mokuba has Yugi ' s monsters surrounded . Yugi makes his first move , getting " Beeton " to move forward 1 space . Mokuba has " Armorsaurus " , who is facing Yugi ' s back row attack " Brain Slime " , incinerating it . " Armorsaurus " then uses its ability , " Armor Attack " . It curls into a ball and attacks the nearest monster in a straight line , Yugi ' s other back row monster , " Toppo " . Mokuba laughs that ' s he has already destroyed two of Yugi ' s monsters and says that he will have some fun with " Armorsaurus " and get it to destroy all of Yugi ' s monsters . " Armorsaurus " is now behind Yugi ' s " Mogley " . Mokuba gets " Armorsaurus " to use its " Armor Attack " again . However , Yugi uses " Mogley ' s " " Dig " ability . Mogley digs itself a hole to hide in , dodging the attack . " Armorsaurus " continues to roll and smashes into Mokuba ' s " Megaton " , destroying it . Yugi comments that high level monsters have unrivaled power , but Mokuba needs to learn how to control it . Yugi moves " Ninja Squid " up beside " Zoid " M " " to attack it . Being Level 2 , it can ' t hope to match " Zoid " M " " , but there is one way it can defeat a Level 5 enemy , Yugi thinks . He asks " Ninja Squid " to forgive him and gets it to use its " Self - Destruct " ability , taking both itself and " Zoid " M " " out . With " Megaton " and " Zoid " M " " destroyed , Mokuba has no monsters left guarding one of the two pathways . Yugi starts to move " Beeton " through the path towards the Evolution Square at the other end . Mokuba ' s remaining monsters are too far back to catch up to it before it evolves . Yugi moves " Beeton " to the Evolution Square " . It evolves and goes up 3 Levels , becoming the Level 5 " Hyper Beetle " . Yugi comments that no matter how weak , if you believe in each step it takes , it will become strong . " Regular " Yugi is seen at is side , as he says this . Yugi uses " Hyper Beetle " to attack and destroy " Nama Hargen " from a distance with its ability " Horn Attack " . The crowd start cheering that Yugi has got Mokuba down to just one monster . " Hyper Beetle " and Mokuba ' s last monster , " Big Foot " face each other . Mokuba announces that this battle will decide the game . " Hyper Beetle ' s " long range attacks are powerful , Mokuba thinks , but in close quarters , " Big Foot " is stronger . The two monsters collide and " Hyper Beetle " falls over . Mokuba laughs that " Hyper Beetle " is dead and Yugi is done for . Yugi gasps in surprise . Mokuba points out that Yugi has another monster hiding on the board ; " Mogley " , who stayed underground after dodging " Armorsaurus ' " attack . He proceeds to have " Big Foot " stomp on " Mogley " . However , after " Big Foot " raises its foot , he starts to fall apart . Mokuba is mortified and realizes that " Hyper Beetle ' s " attack must have been a critical hit . Yugi asks Mokuba if he knows the saying " It ' s not over , ' till it ' s over " and says that it is now over ; Yugi has won . Anime adaption .
