Inside a classroom, Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler are in the midst of a practice Duel with Tea` Gardener looking on. Life Points are unknown but Joey's turn has come and while he tries his best, he comes up short and loses, learning how Yugi has gotten so good. They visit the Game Shop where Yugi hopes his grandpa will unveil the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card. They're in luck as they get a peek at a rare card that Yugi's grandpa has treasured but they aren't alone as champion Seto Kaiba also gets a look. Kaiba makes multiple offers but ends up empty handed and vows to get it one day. Kaiba asks his henchmen to visit the Game Shop before Yugi and the gamg  arrive and learn of an impending situation with Yugi's grandpa.

They arrive to see Yugi's grandpa on the ground and learn that he'd lost a duel to Kaiba, thus also losing his Blue-Eyes card. Kaiba insults them further by tearing up the Blue-Eyes card to prevent it ever turning against him in a Duel. Yugi turns into Yami Yugi and challenges Kaiba to a Duel to re-obtain the card and to punish Kaiba for his actions. Yami gets an early lead in the Duel but finds himself struggling against Kaiba's powered up Saggi the Dark Clown. Yami overcomes this, only to face the Blue-Eyes White Dragon itself. Just when Yami gets on the ropes, he draws all 5 pieces of Exodia and wins the Duel, sending part of Kaiba's mind to the Shadow Realm using his Millenium Puzzle.
