198
Yugi attempts to destroy the Golden Castle of Stromberg with Leon's assistance, but the fortress resists card effects and forces monster battles while discarding half of Yugi's Deck each turn. This mechanic becomes the castle's downfall when Yugi is left with only one card, preventing further discards and causing the structure to collapse. Leon engages in combat but is defeated by Yugi's Dark Magician. Despite Zigfried's anger over the loss, Leon pacifies him and offers forgiveness. With the threat neutralized, Yugi and his closest friends are finally able to return home safely.
