Now as Bhima who had sworn to kill all the Dhritarashtra’s 100 son calls Vikarna a man of Dharma and advise him to step aside. But Vikarna replies that even knowing that Kauravas would not win a war against a side with Sri Krishna on it, he cannot forsake Duryodhana.Vikarna reminds Bhima the Dice game and said-
“That was my duty then
And this is my duty now
Fight me o son of Vayu.”
Thus, when Bhima kills Vikarna after a mace fight. And his death brought tears to the eyes of Bhima.

Day 5
The Pandava Army suffers from Bhishma's attacks. Satyaki is being beaten by Drona, but Bhima drives by and rescues him. Arjuna kills thousands of soldiers sent by Duryodhana to attack him. Bhima engages Bhishma in a duel with no clear winner. Drupada and his son Shikhandi go to help Bhima, but they are stopped by Vikarna, one of Duryodhana's brothers, who attacks and injures them badly.
Day 14
While searching for Jayadratha on the battlefield, Arjuna kills seven akshauhinis of Kaurava soldiers. By Shakuni's plot, Duryodhana hides Jayadratha in their camp. Arjuna uses divyastra to carry Jayadratha's head to his father leading to his own father's death. Many maharathis including Drona and Karna try to protect Jayadratha but fail to do so. Arjuna warns that everyone who supported adharma would be killed.
While Arjuna destroys the rest of the Shakatavyuha, Vikarna, the third eldest Kaurava, challenges Arjuna to an archery fight. Arjuna asks Bhima to kill Vikarna, but Bhima refuses because Vikarna had defended the Pandavas during the Draupadi Vastrapaharanam. Bhima and Vikarna shoot arrows at each other, before Bhima kills Vikarna with his mace.
