Recap / Yu Gi Oh Anime S 1 E 9 Duel With A Ghoul

Go To

Yugi's duel with Kaiba's ghost commences, though everyone except Kemo is doubtful of his claim. (In one of the dub's sillier moments, it claims Ghost Kaiba is Kaiba—specifically, his evil side that was expelled with Yugi's Mind Crush.) To prove his claim, the impostor uses Kaiba's actual deck, summoning the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

Without Exodia, Yugi is unsure how to take out the titanic beast. He uses Magical Hats to hide his Dark Magician, but knows that it won't hide it forever. Meanwhile, the real Seto Kaiba, who hadn't died, hacks into Pegasus's computer network to give him a helping hand...

This episode contains examples of:

  • Canon Foreigner: While the duel is also in the manga, the enemy duelist is changed from a ventriloquist using a Kaiba puppet that claims to contain Kaiba's soul to a Kaiba impersonator.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: The "Defense Paralysis" Trap Card. Later episodes show it as the real-life Stop Defense, a Spell Card that only affects one monster.
  • Enemy Without: The dub says Kaiba's Ghost is this.
  • The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Or, in this case, "Pegasus". Kaiba figures it out because Pegasus is such an egotist who didn't think anybody could reach the most restricted info.note
