It's Kaiba, telling Yugi to come and pick up his Grandpa, who's not feeling well. The gang hurry to Kaiba Corp, where they find Grandpa lying on the floor, barely conscious. He tells Yugi that he failed—he wanted to teach Kaiba a lesson about the heart of the cards, but he lost. Kaiba appears in the doorway, asking how the old man's feeling. (Japanese Kaiba says they're late.) Joey angrily calls Kaiba a sleaze, and asks what he did to Yugi's Grandpa. They had a duel, that's all, Kaiba says, each putting up their most valuable card as the prize. But he guesses that playing against a champion like himself was too much stimulation for the old fool. (Japanese Kaiba says he guesses the Virtual Simulation system he invented was too much for Yugi's Grandpa.) Téa tells Kaiba he should be ashamed of himself, but Kaiba says it was fair. (Japanese Anzu says Kaiba must have cheated. Kaiba laughs, saying "Mazaka!" which means no way, never, impossible.)
He holds up the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card, then tears it in half. Grandpa and the others gasp in shock, and Yugi protests that was his Grandpa's most treasured card. It is a rare and powerful card, Kaiba agrees, and this one will never be used against him. (Japanese Kaiba says that since a deck can only hold three of each card, the fourth one could become an enemy.)
Grandpa reaches helplessly for his torn-up card, calling out for his treasure. Angrily, Yugi turns on Kaiba, asking how he could do such a thing. Shakily, Grandpa holds out his deck to Yugi, saying that he put his soul in these cards, and taught Yugi everything he knows. He tells Yugi to take them and teach Kaiba respect for the heart of the cards. Yugi doesn't want to leave Grandpa, but Kaiba says it sounds like an excuse. The others can take care of Yugi's grandfather while he and Yugi duel—unless Yugi's afraid. (Japanese Kaiba says, interesting. Does Yugi want to avenge his grandfather? He'll take that challenge.)
Joey tells Yugi to take him! They can take care of his Grandpa while Yugi takes care of Kaiba. Teach that rich spoiled brat what a real duel's all about! Téa agrees, but Yugi's not sure. Then Joey says Yugi's the best duelist he's ever seen, and Yugi has the Millennium Puzzle. He knows Yugi can do it. (Japanese Jounouchi tells Yugi, "I used to love fighting, but it was you who changed me, Yugi. You can do it." This refers to history from the manga which is never really shown in the anime. Jounouchi used to be in a gang and get into fights all the time before he met Yugi.)
Finally, Yugi takes Grandpa's deck and agrees to the duel. Then Téa tells everyone to put their hands together, and draws a Happy Face on the back of their hands with a marker, as a symbol of their friendship. Now when Yugi's dueling, he'll know he's not alone. They'll all be right there with him. (Japanese Anzu says the ink will wash away, but they'll always remember the circle of their friendship.)
Téa and Tristan take Grandpa to the hospital, while Joey stays to encourage Yugi.
Yugi and Kaiba prepare to duel in a virtual stadium Kaiba designed himself. He says it will add a bit of life to the game. As the dueling stations rise into position, Kaiba says that they'll each start with 2000 life points, and the first player to hit zero loses. He asks Yugi if he's ready to play. (Japanese Kaiba says they'll play by the Kaiba Special Rules.)
Playtime is over, Yugi says. The Millennium Puzzle activates, and Yami, the spirit of the puzzle, comes out. Kaiba's a bit startled by Yugi's new intensity, as Yami tells him it's time to duel!
Kaiba recovers quickly, activating his virtual systems and opening with the Hitotsu-Me Giant (Japanese name "Cyclops"—Hitotsume means "One Eye" in Japanese) (1200 ATK). Yugi is startled to see the holographic monster come to life on the field, and realizes that this is how Kaiba beat his grandfather. He counters with Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress (1400 ATK). Joey arrives back at the duel, exclaiming about seeing real monsters, as the Winged Dragon's Fireball Attack destroys Kaiba's Hitotsu-Me Giant.
Kaiba's little brother, Mokuba, also arrives to watch the duel, calling out to his brother and asking him if he's all right, as Kaiba's life points go down to 1800. Joey cheers, and Kaiba tells him his move was well-played—for a beginner. (Japanese Kaiba says he should have started out with a handicap this size anyway.)
Then Kaiba plays Saggi the Dark Clown (600 ATK). Yugi's surprised—Saggi has hardly any attack strength. But Kaiba powers him up with the Negative Energy Generator (Darkness Generator), which multiplies Saggi's attack by three, to 1800 points. (In the US version, the card was originally redesigned with an electric "E" instead of an eye.)
(Later, it was redesigned again to show the eye, but with different colors from the Japanese card.)
The powered-up Saggi destroys Yugi's Winged Dragon, reducing his life points to 1600.
Yugi thinks Kaiba's good—he knows every aspect of this game. But his Grandpa put all his gaming knowledge, and his heart, into this deck. He has to believe it holds some secret strategy. He draws the Right Leg of the Forbidden One (200 ATK), but thinks it's useless. (The background of the card is changed in the US version from the point of a star to a round swirly design.)
He can't defeat the Dark Clown with this. He'll have to play a different monster, in defense mode. The monster will be sacrificed, but his life points will be protected. He sets a monster face-down in defense, and Saggi the Dark Clown destroys it.
Joey calls out to Yugi to hang in there, as Yugi continues to play monsters in defense, while Kaiba destroys them one by one. Kaiba tells Yugi he's not doing any better than the old man did. His deck is just as weak and feeble as his grandfather. (Japanese Kaiba says he can practically hear Yugi's Grandpa's dying breath coming from those cards.) Yugi protests that his grandfather is a great man, and a better duelist than Kaiba will ever be. He can feel his grandfather's heart in this deck. (Yugi says he can still hear the passion of his spirit in them. He believes in his grandfather's cards.)
Yugi draws, saying his faith has been rewarded, and plays Gaia the Fierce Knight (Dark Knight Gaia) (2300 ATK). With it, he destroys Saggi, bringing Kaiba's life points down to 1300. But Yugi's advantage doesn't last for long—Kaiba plays the Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000 ATK). Joey can't believe it—they saw Kaiba tear that card in half! Kaiba says Yugi's grandfather wasn't the only one to possess a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and destroys Gaia the Fierce Knight, bringing Yugi's score to 900. Faith or no faith, he says, Yugi will fall before his superior monsters. Power is what this game is all about. Faith is for losers. There's not a card in Yugi's deck that can stand up to the Blue-Eyes. (Japanese Kaiba says he believes in taking what you want by any means necessary. He has two more Blue-Eyes White Dragons in his deck. There's no way Yugi can win. Does he plan to keep defending until he's out of cards?) Two of Yugi's cards flash across the screen—Horned Imp (Imp) and Beaver Warrior (Ruiz). Then Kaiba plays a second Blue-Eyes White Dragon. (And some steps must have been skipped here. He can't normal summon two monsters in the same turn.)
Meanwhile, Grandpa is rushed down the hall of the hospital on a gurney, with Téa and Tristan on either side. Through his oxygen mask, Grandpa urges Yugi not to give up.
Yugi says he won't give up. His Grandpa is counting on him. He counters with the magic card, Swords of Revealing Light (Sealing Swords of Light), which stops all monsters on the field from attacking for three turns. (The real card stops all attacks by your opponent for three turns, including cards summoned after Swords of Revealing Light is played. It also causes any face-down monsters on the field to be flipped face up.) Kaiba asks Yugi what good a three-turn delay will do him, and Yugi studies his cards, thinking that Kaiba's right. He can't figure out what to do with these cards—they're just a bunch of pieces. He now has the Left Leg and Left Arm of the Forbidden One, in addition to the Right Leg. How can he use them to battle an expert like Kaiba? (The Left Arm of the Forbidden one is accidentally switched to a Right Arm in the US version. It should be the Left Arm, because he's shown drawing the Right Arm later.)
Yugi's Grandpa appears to him, telling him he's giving up too easily. Sometimes the cards are like a puzzle—you have to put all the pieces in their proper place[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
