Notes

This episode features the second part of the Joey Wheeler vs. Solomon Muto Duel, the first Duel from Round 1 Block A.
- For some strange reason, the Japanese and English versions of the anime differ as to which type of card Joey guesses due to "Ordeal of a Traveler's" first-time activation: in the English dub, Joey guesses Trap, in the Japanese version he guesses Magic card. Regardless, the answer is still wrong in both cases.
This episode also features the result of the Dr. Richard Goat vs. Leon Wilson Duel, the first duel from Round 1 Block B: Leon wins.

Summons "Goblin Attack Force" (2300 ATK / 0 DEF) and uses it to attack Solomon's "Ancient Giant".
- Solomon activates Continuous Trap Card "Ordeal of a Traveler": he selects a card from his hand and Joey has to guess whether it's a Spell, Trap, or Monster Card. If Joey guesses wrong, his attacking monster is returned to his hand.
  - Joey guesses Trap in the Japanese Version Joey guesses Magic Card, but Solomon's card a monster ("Sinister Serpent"): "Goblin Attack Force" is returned to Joey's hand.
Joey sets a card.

Uses "Ancient Giant" to attack Joey directly.
- Joey activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Scapegoat", Special Summoning 4 "Sheep Tokens" (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in Defense Position.
- "Ancient Giant" attack & destroys one "Sheep Token".
Solomon activates Continuous Spell Card "Ancient Tome": he replaces a card from his Hand with the top card from his Deck.
Switches his two "Stone Giants" to Defense Position.
- Due to "Stone Giant's" special effect, Solomon loses 500 LP for each Stone Giant" that did not attack (Solomon: 5000 → 4000 Life Points) (NOTE: why Solomon switched the Battle Position of his monsters choosing to take the damage, will become obvious later in the Duel).

Activates "Sinister Serpent's" special ability: Solomon returns it from its Graveyard to its Hand.

- Joey's "Roll of Fate" roll is a 4, Solomon's "Legendary Gambler" roll is a 3: Joey's "Roll of Fate" succeds. He draws four cards and sends the top 4 cards from his Deck to the Graveyard.
Activates Spell Card "Landstar Forces", allowing Joey to Special Summon all the "Landstar" monsters he holds in his hand: "Brigadier of Landstar" (900 ATK / 1200), "Knight of Landstar" (1000 ATK / 900) and "Grappler of Landstar" (1000 ATK / 500).
Tributes "Brigadier of Landstar", "Knight of Landstar" and "Grappler of Landstar" to Summon "Gilford the Lightning" (2800 ATK / 1400 DEF): thanks to its special effect, it destroys all monsters on Solomon's side of the field.
Uses "Gilford the Lightning" to attack Solomon directly.
- Solomon's "Ordeal of a Traveler" activates: Joey guesses monster (it was the "Sinister Serpent" that returned to Solomon's hand previously) correctly, meaning his attack succeeds (Solomon: 4000 → 1200 Life Points).
Solomon activates "Ancient City's" second special ability, Special Summoning "Ancient Dragon" (2800 ATK / 2100 DEF) from his Graveyard back to the field.
