" Relinquished " attacks and destroys " Winged Dragon " . Pegasus then Normal Summons " Jigen Bakudan " ( 200 / 1000 ) in Attack Position . Due to its effect , " Jigen Bakudan " cannot be selected as an attack target , and it will self - destruct and destroy every monster on Pegasus ' s side of the field during Yami Yugi ' s second End Phase after " Jigen Bakudan " was Summon ed . After that , both players will take damage equal to the original ATK of the monsters they owned . This would be 0 damage to Pegasus and 2500 damage to Yami .

When the Duel continues in the Shadow Realm , Pegasus ' s Trap Card " Gorgon ' s Eye " disappears , presumably destroyed by " Magical Neutralizing Force " . If it had still been active , Pegasus would have won the Duel many times since Yugi defends numerous times once " Relinquished " is Summoned . Featured cards .
