Kaiba calls off his attack so Mokuba, whom Noah is using as a shield, will not be harmed. Noah can easily regain large chunks of Life Points using "Shinato's Ark", giving him a huge advantage over Kaiba. Kaiba starts to realise how badly he had treated Mokuba in the past. Using advice from Yugi, Kaiba reminds Mokuba of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" card he made for Kaiba when they were younger. Kaiba claims that Mokuba saved him by giving him something to strive for - a real "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" card. When Kaiba Summons his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", Mokuba shakes free of Noah's control of his mind. Noah unleashes "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" from "Shinato's Ark" and merges with it. His monster is still standing when Kaiba's "Last Turn" card expires, so he wins the Duel by default. When Mokuba runs toward Kaiba, Noah uses his monster to turn them into stone. Yugi turns into Yami Yugi. He points out that Noah hypocritically cheated by shielding himself with Mokuba despite scolding The Big Five for the very same underhanded way of playing. He demands to take Kaiba's place and finish the Duel.
