Monsters Episode 2 — Yu-gi-oh! Duel

Yugi is forced into a "Shadow Game" against a pre-recorded VHS tape from Pegasus. If Yugi loses, Pegasus claims the soul of Yugi’s grandfather, Solomon Muto. Plot Synopsis The episode is divided into three key sequences:

Yugi receives a package from Pegasus containing a gauntlet, star chips, and a VHS tape. When the tape is played, Pegasus uses his Millennium Eye to pull Yugi into a Shadow Realm duel. Pegasus reads Yugi’s mind to counter every move. Due to a 15-minute time limit, Yugi loses by default when the timer runs out, and Pegasus captures Solomon Muto's soul as "punishment".
