Dark Yugi and Pandora's Duel (manga)

Dark Yugi and Pandora had a Duel in the preliminary rounds of the Battle City tournament.

Prior
As Dark Yugi wondered how the Rare Hunters had known Jonouchi had "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", Yugi remembered that the clerk at the RPG Hobby Trading Cards shop had seen data on their cards before he gave them the Duel Disks, leading them to suspect the shop was a front for Rare Hunters.

Inside the shop, Dark Yugi saw his Duelist profile on the clerk's computer. A projection of a "Dark Magician" then came out of the screen and introduced his master, Pandora, as the true user of the "Dark Magician", who was about to Duel Dark Yugi. Dark Yugi explained that cards and Duelists choose each other based on trust and when the two hearts are bound by trust, the card's true power will display. He accepted the challenge to determine who was the true master of the "Dark Magician".

Pandora led Dark Yugi to his room in the basement, which was filled with magician equipment and occult paraphernalia. They stood inside a round stage, which Pandora believed to be fitting for a match between two "Dark Magicians". As they shuffled their Decks, Dark Yugi warned Pandora that shotgun shuffling could damage his cards. They then cut each other's Decks.

Pandora commented that he would like to show Dark Yugi something to prove that they are blood brothers and pulled a chain hanging from the ceiling. This caused shackles to appear around their legs and clamp them to the arena and exposed two large slaw blades that would draw closer to their corresponding Duelists as they lost Life Points. When a Duelist's Life Points reached 0, they would have their feet cut off and a box would open at their opponent's feet, allowing the opponent to free himself.
