As Yugi and friends make their way to the castle, Tea reflects on how Yugi seems so different when he duels, as if there are two Yugis. Suddenly, she remembers Yami Bakura's duel in the Shadow Realm, and realizes maybe there are two Yugis! Tea reflects on how she became friends with Yugi and Joey, working at a burger joint so she could save up to become a dancer. To her shock, they encouraged her dreams, and when she was later assaulted by a mugger, Yugi saved her with a Mind Crush.
As they reach the castle, everyone's shocked to see Seto Kaiba blocking their way. Determined to duel Yugi, but refusing to say why, he forces everyone onto the castle rooftop. Seto and Yugi wager five chips each, so only the winner will face Pegasus. Bandit Keith also watches the duel with interest. At first both duelists are evenly matched, but Kaiba has a plan to change that—he'll summon the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, with 4500 Attack Points!
This episode contains examples of:
- Finger Wag: Dark Magician gives this to Kaiba after he and La Jinn trade places with Mystic Box.
- Poor Communication Kills: Kaiba refuses to tell Yugi why he's so determined to beat him, causing much confusion and anguish later on.
- Pragmatic Adaptation: The flashback to Tea and Yugi becoming friends is the most different from the manga compared to the other flashbacks. Rather than Yugi saving Tea from an armed robber that attacks the Burger shop, he saves her from a gym teacher trying to blackmail her with a game of “draw the highest attack card”.
