The Shadow Game
The convict's situation.
Yugi brings out the drink and smokes and plops himself into the seat across from the convict. The convict gets enraged at his nerve, bellowing back at him "Who said you could sit down?" Yugi replies that he thought he'd help him pass the time and suggests they play a game, if he has the guts. The convict is surprised, by Yugi's sudden change in attitude, wondering if this could be the same guy. Anzu too is surprised. It sounds like Yugi to her, but is too confident to be him. Whoever it is, she thinks, is crazy to talk to someone with a gun like that.
The convict accepts, and the game's rules are that each player must choose one finger, and can only move that one. Other than that, the players are free to do whatever they want. The convict chooses his index finger, planning to use it to shoot Yugi, and Yugi uses chooses his thumb. The prisoner about to shoot Yugi, until he shows him a lighter. Then he convict realizes that he didn't light his cigarette yet, and then orders Yugi to light it for him. When he was lighting it, the prisoner starts to pour his drink. But then Yugi, 'drops' it on the prisoner's arm. The prisoner now can't move because if the lighter hits the 90% alcohol (180 proof) russian vodka, his body will be burn. Then Yugi grabs Anzu and starts to walk away. The prisoner starts to say something, but the cigarette falls into the drink.
Yugi escorts Anzu away after the game. Yami Yugi changes back to regular Yugi, just before Anzu takes off her blindfold. Yugi, oblivious to the game that just occured, is glad to see Anzu okay. Jonouchi and Yugi, rush to each other. Jonouchi also didn't see the game and only knows the prisoner set himself on fire. While they reunite Anzu looks around for her saviour. She puts on her hands on her chest, thinking to herself, that she'll never forget that voice, after all she's fallen in love with its owner.
