Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 022

Face Off - Part 1, known as '''The Duel of Destiny! Yuugi vs. Kaiba''' in the Japanese version is the twenty-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime.

Summary
In the dungeon, Pegasus gives Seto five star chips and makes a deal with him. If he can beat Yugi, then he may duel Pegasus for Mokuba's soul. Meanwhile, Yugi and the group emerge from the tunnel and arrive outside Pegasus' castle. Tea has many flashbacks, including of when she first met Yami and of when she was working at a fast-food restaurant. When she remembers times when Yugi switches from a gentle nature to a forceful one, she concludes there are two Yugis after all. As they approach the castle door, it is blocked by Seto, who challenges Yugi to a duel. After some words are exchanged, Yugi accepts.

They duel on an open area atop the castle using Seto's Duel Disks. (The Japanese version specifies that, having seen Pegasus duel, Kaiba suspects that Pegasus has a way to reading the identities of his opponent's cards. The Duel Disk transforms cards in the players' hands into hologram forms, and Kaiba hopes that this technology will prevent Pegasus from reading his cards.) Bandit Keith arrives at the castle in time to watch, but he stays out of view of the others. The Duel is pretty close. Each player is down to 1500 Life Points, but Seto has a plan to fuse all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons to form the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
