Yugi and the others wonder how Kaiba could be on the island. With no other choice Yugi faces down Kaiba in a rematch. However, something about Kaiba doesn't seem right to Yugi and he wants to know why. Yugi quickly gains a slight lead, but is put in a bad situation when Kaiba summons his Blue Eyes White Dragon. To make matters worse Kaiba uses Defense Paralysis, which blocks Yugi's defenses. Yugi uses the Magical Hats to conceal his Dark Magician, and Kaiba commands his Blue Eyes to attack. But will Kaiba's attack be successful and cost Yugi the duel?moreless

Sooooo....the episode before this was a to be continued. In this episode Yugi/Yami starts dueling the so-called Kaiba. Meanwhile the real Kaiba who jumped out of the window in the previous episode never died. He hung on to something. Kaiba like walked and found a passage to his secret office and walked inside.He used his computer(which talked) to hack into Duelist Kingdom's security. He found out that Yugi's files were encrypted but he didn't give up. He also found out that Yugi lost his Exodia cards (Cuz of stupid Weevil). Oh yeah and somewhere over here it shows Yugi dueling the fake Kaiba. And mokuba keeps saying that that guy is not his big brother (which is totally true!) Yugi believes him. The real Kaiba hacked into the Duelist kingdom satellite but it had extra security on Yugi's files. He found out where yugi was dueling but his computer couldn't get in. Kaiba says something like "There isn't a computer in the world that I can't get(or hack) into. anywayz he inputted a virus and destroyed the door. Then he guessed the passward which was PEGASUS.(Seriously Pegasus. Making ur name ur passward is a very stupid thing to do). Meanwhile, Yugi confuses the fake Kaiba with Magical Hats. Yugi said that if he guessed the wronghat something bad would happen to him. Oh yeah and then a few minutes after that is TO BE CONTINUED....again...Anyway...this was another great episode, with "I'm Back" playing for a bit and one of my favourites too!!!!moreless

The guard says that Yugi does have a ghost of chance...because he is playing a ghost. The ghost of Seto Kaiba. Mokuba argues with this, saying that this wasn't a ghost, and it wasn't the real Kaiba. The guard claims that there were two witnesses that saw (and to them, proved) that Kaiba was dead. He jumped over a plateau, high above rushing water. No one could survive a fall like that.

However, what no one knew except Kaiba himself, was that while he had jumped, Kaiba had managed to cling onto a rock, and soon, climb himself up the cliff, still alive. Kaiba was now lurking about trees and fences. He was in front of his mansion, but Pegasus' guards were surrounding it. Kaiba jumped over the fence and sneaked in. He knew his house inside out and kept a secret trapdoor leading to a basement. Kaiba opened it, and found his secret office. He scanned himself several times so the computer would let him in. He found his chair and computer (who could "talk" like Pegasus' computer). He asked why Kaiba had to break into his own house. Kaiba ignores this and wants to crash the Duelist Kingdom electricity. Kaiba is planning on a computer crash, one of the largest in history.

Kaiba, while going onto the Duelist Kingdom files, finds that a file titled Yugi Mutou is on the computer. Kaiba wants to crack it and enter it (he knows if Yugi can beat Pegasus, his company will be safe). Kaiba says that Yugi's best chance of winning was the card Exodia, a card with infinite power and defense, which could only be summoned by collecting all 5 cards needed. He remembers how Yugi had been the first person to combine all 5 Exodia cards and create a monster more powerful than ever. Then, the computer spoils Kaiba's mood instantly.

Kaiba's computer says that Yugi lost Exodia, somehow. Kaiba gets mad (he doesn't know that Weevil Underwood threw the cards in the ocean), because Exodia seemed like Yugi's best chance of beating a duelist like Pegasus.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the "Kaiba" bets with Yugi. They stake 3 star chips. If Yugi loses, not only will he lose all of his star chips, he won't be able to rescue his grandfather and Kaiba's company could go bust. Mokuba keeps saying that the imposter isn't Kaiba, but the guard shuts him up. "Kaiba" begins by saying he will summon a monster that has been wanting to see him for a while. "Kaiba" summons the Hitosu Me Giant (1200/1000). Yugi remembers, this was the card Kaiba started their first duel together. Joey yells that just because it's the same card doesn't mean it's the same person. Yugi summons Dark Magician (2500/1200). With an attack power 1300 points higher than "Kaiba's" monster, Yugi should have no problem with this and attacks ("Kaiba's" LP: 700).

He is at 700 on only his second turn, but "Kaiba" laughs and Joey is confused. "Kaiba" says that the next card he plays was a blast from the past... There is slow motion as "Kaiba" reveals the card. It is the Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)! "Kaiba" summons it. Joey is shocked, and says only one duelist has that card in their deck. "Kaiba" asks if this proves that he is the real Kaiba. Mokuba still doesn't believe him. "Kaiba" decides not to attack, saying that if he could destroy Yugi, why not draw it out?

Meanwhile, Kaiba is hacking into the mainframe of the Duelist Kingdom Computer, he made the course so it would attack Duelist Kingdom. The computer continued to protect the mainframe, but by doing so, the computer lost its extra security over Yugi's encrypted files. Kaiba now can enter, but he couldn't get in. He uploaded a password, and managed to get pass. Then, there was a password involved. Kaiba guesses the password correctly and now, he has access to Yugi's files.

Back to the duel. "Kaiba" passes on attacking, saying he wants to wait it out. "Kaiba" sets one card face down and it's Yugi's turn. Yugi switches his Dark Magician to defensive mode and he summons his Curse of Dragon (2000/1500) in defensive mode. However, "Kabia" says that Yugi has activated his trap card, Defense Paralysis! Now, Yugi's monsters are forced into attack mode, and all the rest of Yugi's monsters have to be in attack mode if they are summoned to the field. Yugi's monsters can't defend themselves now. "Kaiba" says that now's the time, and he attacked the Curse of Dragon (Yugi's LP: 1000). Yugi says that he is far from over. Yugi plays the magic card Magicial Hats to conceal his Dark Magician. There are four hats on the field, and Yugi's Dark Magician is in one of them. Yugi also says that there is something ELSE hiding in the hats. Joey congratulates Yugi on making a good move. "Kaiba" says he knows where the Dark Magician is. Yugi says that there is a 25 percent chance "Kaiba" will guess the correct hat right. "Kaiba" attacks, and if he guesses the right hat, Yugi will not only lose the duel...he'll lose much more!moreless

Okay cool real kiaba is back hacking into super computers cashing satilites evading guys in black with cool shades all for the sake of a card game. in fact million dollor corporations are clashing over the game. Man this is rich really I mean all for pieces of paper and such. GEEz really all the writers should smack themselves for this.

This episode finally starts on how real duels are like.

9.2

By Yugiohdmoc, Aug 26, 2005

Well, here we are into the series. In my opinion, this episode starts off the dueling action. There are actually a number of magic and trap cards being played, which is how it should be unlike most other episodes. The only thing bad about the duel is that it starts off like almost all other duels in Duelist Kingdom, the first player summoning a weak monster in attack mode and the other player finishes it off. In this duel, magic and trap cards like Defense Paralysis, Magical Hats, Mirror Force, Negate Attack, Monster Reborn are actually played. That's what makes duels good. What's good about the ending is that it makes you want to find out more.moreless
