Episode 62: The Master of Magicians (3)

Arkana still believes that not only will he win the Duel but his girlfriend Catherine, whom had been with him pretty much up until he unwittingly drove her away. Yami says otherwise but finds himself defenseless after triggering Arkana's Trap Card. Making matters worse, Arkana plays a powerful Spell Card that brings out his treasured Level 7 Normal Monster, then prevents Yami from intervening with anything on his field with another Spell Card. However, there's a 2nd catch to Arkana's strategy as Yami gets to use the 1st Spell Card's effect too and brings out a Spellcaster of his own.

Once Yami proves that his Spellcaster beats Arkana's Yami takes it down and wins the Duel. Despite all that Arkana put him through, Arkana is spared from the initial trip to the Shadow Realm and sobs over his lost love, whom has proven to be a fake, until Mark steps in. Yugi wants to see Marik's face but Marik refuses and warns of a future danger ahead for Yami.
