Yu - Gi - Oh ! - Episode 026 " Champion vs . Creator , Part 1 " , known as " Save Mokuba ! Kaiba vs . Pegasus " in the Japanese version , is the twenty - sixth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " second series anime . It first aired in Japan on October 17 , 2000 and in the United States on May 18 , 2002 . Summary . Yugi , Mai and Joey each have enough Star Chip s to enter Pegasus ' s castle . But Kemo will not allow Téa , Tristan or Bakura in because not only do they not have Dueling Gauntlet s , they are not even Duelists . However , when Mai distracts him using her feminine wiles , they are able to sneak in . They head onto the main balcony , where they meet up with Bandit Keith . Croquet comes in and greets the Duelists telling them there will be an exhibition match for them between Seto Kaiba and Maximillion Pegasus . Kaiba wants Pegasus to Duel with his Duel Disk s but Pegasus says if they use them , Mokuba will operate his for him . Kaiba , not wanting to Duel his own little brother , decides to Duel in a normal Dueling Arena instead . The Duel starts with Pegasus toying with Seto by playing predictable moves and allowing Kaiba to destroy his first few monster s . Right when Kaiba tries to Summon his " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , Pegasus activates " Prophecy " in response , and , thanks to his Millennium Eye , Pegasus is able to correctly guess the card Kaiba was about to Summon . Kaiba is forced to give Pegasus his " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " . Kaiba wonders how Pegasus knew what card he was going to play before he could play it . Without that card in his hand , Kaiba is forced to switch his " Rude Kaiser " into Defense Position . Noticing Kaiba looking anxious , Pegasus goes into his mind and sees that Kaiba plans to use " Crush Card " to destroy almost all monsters in his Deck , so Pegasus prepares a counter strategy . Kaiba then tries to use his " Crush Card " and " Saggi the Dark Clown " combo on Pegasus to destroy all monsters in Pegasus ' Deck that have at least 1500 ATK . Bakura and Tea note that this is the same combo Kaiba used in his previous Duel against Yugi on Pegasus ' s castle , but this time , Joey says , Pegasus will get it . However , Yugi replies that Pegasus knows it ' s coming . And indeed , during his next turn , Pegasus activates " Negative Energy " to double the ATK of " Saggi the Dark Clown " , which stops Kaiba from using his " Crush Card " . Pegasus then uses his " Dark Rabbit " ( whose ATK is also boosted by " Negative Energy " ) to attack and destroy " Saggi the Dark Clown " , pushing Kaiba into a corner .

He then tries to Normal Summon " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , but Pegasus activates his face - down " Prophecy " to let him predict if the ATK of Kaiba ' s card is more , equal to , or less than 2000 . If he is correct , the card will be added to his hand . Pegasus guesses that the card Kaiba is trying to play has over 2000 ATK .
