Episode 175: Grappling with a Guardian (2)

Yami takes in the fact that Raphael is now corrupted by the Field Spell before using a Trap Card to revive 1 of his monsters. Next, he brings back the Kuriboh brothers using it before bringing out a new monster. Next he uses a Spell Card to bring out his faithful Spellcaster for half his LP. Yami decides to attack but Raphael saves his monster with a Trap Card of his own. Next, he brings out the monstrer that beat Yami last time, only it's not as strong. However, this time Yami also has a countermeasure from his Graveyard. Yami strengthens his defenses before Raphael brings out another blast from Yami's past Duel. Yami then uses a Spell Card to draw extra cards before summoning his legendary dragon and making a new Fusion Monster with it. Raphael too has a new monster to bring out, one that is based on Raphael's dark side and cannot be defeated so easily. Yami helps both players out with a Spell Card before bringing out an iconic monster, then bringing the field into a greater darkness with a Field Spell of his own.
