Then Backup Guardian pushed Babylon Kuriboh back.
Only then did Rafael stagger forward as if all his strength had left him. He said in surprise, "My monster, [Backup Guardian], is still completely unharmed..."
Although Rafael had not activated Who Uses Dies Barrier, because both sides possessed Dark Power, he had still suffered tangible mental damage.
Yugi's brow furrowed slightly. Something about his opponent's dueling style felt off.
"You noticed it too, didn't you, AIBO? He actually used a Set card to protect a Defense Position monster. What a strange guy."
Hearing the King's words, Yugi nodded. He had been thinking the same thing.
Normally, a card that protected monsters should have been saved for a more crucial monster later on, so both of them found it strange.

Kuriboh instantly vanished from the field,
