Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 057

Yugi vs. The Rare Hunter - Part 2, known as Reversal - Chain Destruction in the Japanese version, is the fifty-seventh episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!. It aired in Japan on May 29, 2001, and in the US on January 18, 2003.

=Major Events=
 * Yami Yugi discovers Seeker's strategy to summon "Exodia", and then devises a strategy of his own to counter it.
 * After winning the Duel, Yami Yugi takes "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" from Seeker's Deck, and then destroys Seeker's Deck after realizing all the cards within are counterfeit (In the English dub, Yugi destroys the cards for a different reason: the cards in Seeker's Deck are all marked.)
 * Yami Yugi is later greeted by a man named Marik, who uses his Millennium Rod to possess Seeker and vows revenge against the Pharaoh who he believes killed his father (In the English dub, the revenge scheme is different: he resents serving the Pharaoh all his life and plans to become Pharaoh by taking the Millennium Puzzle and the 3 Egyptian God Cards).
