The Four-way free duel continues. The first two duelists to lose will face each other in the semi-finals and so will the victors. Kaiba follows his plans to duel Yugi in the semi-finals to get his "Slifer the Sky Dragon. But then realizes that the first two people to lose will duel. Not able to let himself lose the duel on purpose, he decides on defeating Marik and Joey Wheeler. Yugi also realizes that he would also need more power to stand against Marik's Egyptian God Card. Therefore, he goes after Kaiba, as not wanting to Joey. Joey is determined to duel Yami Marik in the next round, as he had made a promise to Mai to bring her back (revealed later). So he wants to make sure that he and Marik lose this duel. Marik is not too keen to duel anyone and only attacks them who are vulnerable, as he is sure that sooner or later, he will have his revenge against the Pharaoh. Meanwhile, Serenity gets worried about Mai's Condition and Joey's Duel.
