It was later reprinted in volume 5 of Yu - Gi - Oh ! R . Summary . Honda stands by Anzu ' s body , still trapped in the machine , when the door opens , and Jonouchi runs in . Honda asks him if he won , and Jonouchi replies that of course he did . Notcing the black Duel Disk on Jonouchi ' s arm , he asks what it is , and Jonouchi explains that it means he ' s the number one Card Professor . Honda remarks that they ' re just giving those away these days , and Jonouchi defensively repleis that there ' s no need to get harsh . He tells Honda to forget about that ; Anzu ' s still trapped in the machine . So she really was too heavy for Honda to carry , was she ? As if , Honda replies . Jonouchi decides to get her out , and he begins to remove a pipe , much to Honda ' s horror . Mokuba rings in from the Duel Ring Server , explaining that Honda is right , and they can ' t take Anzu out of there yet ; she ' s still linked in to the Wicked God cards . Her spirit has become detached , and unless they cut the link to the Wicked Gods , her spirit will never return to her body . Jonouchi is furious that Anzu is right there but they can ' t save her . Mokuba explains that there ' s just one way ; they have to render the Wicked Gods powerless . Jonouchi and Honda are shocked that they have ot defeat the Wicked God card , and think of Yugi . At the Apex Arena of the KaibaCorp oration Building , Dark Yugi and Gekko have just arrived , stepping out of the elevator . Yugi yells Yako ' s name , and Yako , sitting on the stairs to the arena , looks up . Yugi walks over to Kaiba , who is still kneeling with Willa Mette standing over him , and he asks if Kaiba ' s all right . Sweating , Kaiba asks if Yugi ' s actually worried about him , he must be losing his touch . He gets to his feet , explaining that he was exposed to the poison of the so - called Wicked Gods , that ' s all . He observes that the fact that Yugi made it up here means that none of the Card Professors could stop him . He grins , commenting that he ' s not surprised , after all , only Kaiba can defeat Yugi . Dark Yugi smiles . Gekko , meanwhile , looks at his brother , who asks what Gekko is doing here . Gekko tells him that the Rebirth of Avatar Project has failed . Let ' s end this . Gekko is telling Yako to end it , Yako asks . Who does he think he ' s talking to ? He rises to his feet in fury , pointing out that of course it failed - because of those two ( Yugi and Kaiba ) . He tells Gekko that they did what Gekko couldn ' t , they stopped him . All Gekko did was what Yako ordered him to do , possesse dby the power of the Wicked Gods . Geko admits that Yako is right . He lost . He ' s powerless . Gekko can ' t fight Yako anymore , but Yugi can . Sneering , Yako observes that not only did Yugi beat Gekko , but Gekko ' s given up . How the " Perfect Duelist " has fallen . A Perfect Duelist , Gekko muses . Yes , he admits , Master Pegasus called him that . It made him so proud , but over the course of many Duels , he realised something - Master Pegasus never meant that he was " the " Perfect Duelist . Yako is shocked , and Gekko explains that when they were with Pegasus , he did win his Duels with Yako and the other Pegasus prodigies , by a small margin . But every time they Dueled , their difference in skill diminished . He couldn ' t help but realise his opponents were getting better . Gekko explains that he is " perfected , " and he will never grow . Yako is shocked , and Gekko continues , explaining that he thinks Pegasus must have seen with his Millennium Eye that Gekko ' s Duelist level was as high as it would be . Yako angrily asks Gekko what he ' s saying , grabbing him by the collar , and Gekko finishes that he thinks the one Pegasus saw potential in , the one he thought would become a first - rate Duelist , was Yako . Floored , Yako furiously yells at Gekko not to tell him that , not to dare say that to him . He shoves his brother back , asking hif Gekko knows how Yako feels when he says that . As Dark Yugi runs over , Yako yells that Gekko is just like his name , he ' s like the moon ( Gekko means " moonlight " in Japanese ) . Master Pegasus was a sun , and Gekko was a reflection of him . And Yako is left to crawl through the darkness , crawling blindly , searching for light . He vows to get his light ; the R . A . Project isn ' t over yet . He still has the vessel , Anzu Mazaki , and he has Yugi Mutou , the one he hates . He hounded Master Pegasus to death . When Yako crushes him , the way will be cleared for his ressurection . As Dark Yugi glares at Yako , Gekko tells Yako to wait . What Keith Howard told Yako about killing Pegasus was a lie . Yako replies that it wasn ' t . Yugi Mutou defeated Pegasus at Duelist Kingdom , and then Pegasus voluntarily accepted death . Gekko is shocked , but Yako claims that there ' s no way someone as powerful as Master Pegasus could have died unless he wanted to . It doesn ' t matter now who actually performed the deed . Dark Yugi replies that even so , his fight with Pegasus was a battle between two Duelists . He tells Yako to release Anzu . Their fight has nothing to do with her . Yako replies that that ' s no longer possible , to Dark Yugi ' s shock . He explains that she ' s become part of the Wicked Gods . She is built into the Duel Ring Server , drag her out , and she will die . He laughs , his right eye bulging , asking if Yugi likes the divine punishment of the Wicked Gods . Kaiba steps forwards , telling Yugi to Duel Yako . The only way to save Anzu Mazaki is to smash his Gods to pieces . Gekko points out that if Yugi loses , it will give Yako the energy he needs to revive Pegasus . Smirking , Kaiba asks who cares . He just has to use that energy to devour the Wicked Gods . He tells Yugi that he acknowledges him as a fellow Duelist , and he won ' t allow him to accept defeat at the hands of those false Gods . Smiling , Dark Yugi looks at Kaiba . Yako tells Yugi to come at him , and Dark Yugi readies his Duel Disk , replying that Yako asked for it . The Duel field rises , and Gekko , Kaiba , and Willa watch from below . Yako tells Yugi that this is it , the final showdown .
