Forum:Why did Yugi play the Orichalcos card?

This time I'm gonna post something completely unrelated to the Big Five.

In Season 4, when Yugi is dueling Rafael, Yugi is forced to play the Orichalcos card to win the duel. Not only does he still lose the duel, but why was it absolutely necessary to win the duel? Correct me if I'm wrong but there wasn't really anything at stake in this duel as long as the Orichalcos card wasn't in play. Rafael had already released the professor, and he was only dueling Yugi to take the Pharaoh's soul. He said if he loses now two worlds will be destroyed, but how? Only if the Seal of the Orichalcos was in play would Yami lose his soul, and Yugi only lost his soul because Yami played the Orichalcos card. KillRoy231 (talk • contribs) 00:22, March 29, 2016 (UTC)
