(漆黒のデュエル!闇晦ましの城)
Aired Japan: July 25, 2000
Aired USA: Feb 02, 2002
NOTE: The American version was combined into one episode called “Panik Attack”. All other countries received the episode in its two-part form, which was also released on the second volume of the VHS/DVD collection, “Evil Spirit of the Ring” in the US, but it eventually aired on 4Kids TV on January 6, 2007.
As Yugi steps up to the dueling arena, his feet are clasped into place to prevent him from moving and then bursts of flame shoot out, barely missing him. As Mai and the others doubt that Yugi can win, he still seems confident in his chances. However as Panik plays his first card, the Castle of Dark Illusions, things don’t seem to be going in Yugi’s favor. As the Castle appears on the field, it smothers Panik’s half of the arena in darkness, preventing Yugi from seeing which cards Panik has played. Panik explains that on this arena the only source of a field power bonus is the night.
An uneasy Yugi plays the Celtic Guardian in defense mode, but as Panik plays a monster onto the field he attacks Yugi’s Guardian, destroying it. Realizing that he can’t attack monsters he can’t see, Yugi looks for a way to destroy the Castle of Dark Illusions, but with the field power bonus it is nearly impenetrable. Yugi plays the Winged Dragon in defense mode, Panik senses that his opponent is beginning to fret as he plays a second monster into the darkness. However as Yugi’s turn begins, he uses the Winged Dragon to attack the darkness, temporarily revealing the monsters that Panik has on the field. Even so, Panik attacks the Dragon, destroying it and reducing Yugi’s life points to 1606.
With the Reaper of the Cards caught within Yugi’s trap he is free to play his Revealing Light whenever he wants. As Mai looks on, amazed at Yugi’s strength in such tough conditions, Yugi decides the time has come to play the Swords of Revealing Light. Playing one card face down, Yugi activates the Swords, flooding Panik’s side of the field in a bright light which not only reveals his monsters but prevents them from attacking. However while Yugi seems confident that he can keep his promise to defeat Panik within the next four turns, Panik also seems sure that victory will be his.
