In the KC control room, Mokuba can tell that something is wrong. Honda and Jonouchi are with Anzu, who is strapped into the RA machine, which has begun to activate. She moans in pain, but as Jonouchi tries to touch her, he is repelled by a stinging electrical force.

Meanwhile, Atem is facing down the cause of the disturbance, The Devils Avatar on Tenma's side of the field. Feeding off Anzu's power, the Avatar takes shape---as Anzu herself. The Devils Anzu looks surprised for a second, before reforming as Goes, with 2701 Attack Points. Tenma attacks Atem's Cayenne with his Devil's Avatar Goes, and chops her in half. He sets a card and ends his turn.

After some discussion, it's Atem's turn and he summons The Tricky. Fortunately, he has worked out a way to take out The Devils Avatar, which always has 1 more Attack Point than the strongest monster on the field: Union Attack. With Union Attack, Tricky and Goes can attack the Avatar at the same time, overpowering it. The Devils Avatar explodes, but its severed torso makes a slash at Goes, killing it.

Atem wonder what has happened, but Tenma reveals his Trap card which has reduced the Attack Points of Atem's monsters to zero. The Avatar is unharmed. Since all Atem has is The Tricky with Attack Points of zero, The Devils Avatar has 1 Attack Point. It is notable that at the moment Atem's Life Points are 98.

But then Tenma activates a very unexpected Magic card: Devils Sanctuary! The Metal Devil Token appears, with Atem's face reflected in it just as Atem once did to Malik. And then, The Devils Avatar takes on the appearance of Yugi...

Duels like these are the reason the original Yugioh is/was amazing. I want an anime adaption to Yugioh R.

Sounds like yet another great chapter. I'm really wondering how Yugi vs. Tenma is going to end - hopefully the grand finale will be as epic as the rest of this duel has been. And this duel has been...well, this duel has been just plain epic.

Reappearances of Tels and the Messengers of Hades? Devil's Sanctuary? TWO Anti-Gods? Pretty epic if you ask me.

Avatar can now mimic people as well as monsters - interesting.

It was definitely the best chapter since the end of Jonouchi vs. Keith. It would seem that Anzu and the Avatar are now sort-of one, so it's possible that she will be its downfall, somewhat like the numerous times this has happened with Blue Eyes. Either way, as Hai Priesty pointed out on Janime, even if Atem manages to get three sacrifices to summon Ra (the only God equal to Avatar in the God hierarchy triangle), he'll be able to do very little with it. He can't pay 1000 LPs for God Phoenix, paying all his LPs but one for One Turn Kill would only give Ra 97 ATK, and if he manages to summon Ra in the first place it's unlikely he'll have more monsters to sacrifice to increase Ra's ATK. Yup, he's in a bit of a pickle.
great review as usual, and i wanted to ask what are the chances the seraph cards would be released? yeah i know they are trash in comparison to some cards but still i wanted to know.It's not looking good, since Tenma hasn't used the Seraphim monsters since about thirty chapters ago. They haven't been mentioned.

Maybe Atem will pull out some sort of LP replenishing magic card?

Maybe Atem will pull out some sort of LP replenishing magic card?Possible, but it just doesn't seem very manga-y...

Whatever he does, it can't be worse than Legend of Heart. This is the manga we're talking about. We expect a certain quality of win.

But as always,what will save Atem is his two face down cards or at least one of them,at moment he didn't summon Dark Magician as he did so many time to win his opponents like Kaiba and Marik,and he even did not summon any of the three Egyptian Gods,what I don't think he will...I like Atem's deck and I think he will find a way to defeat Tenma,what seemed to be a very good duelist so far!

The duel was confusing because it took me a couple reads to figure out what happened, but it is definetly one of the best chapters yet.
