The Ultimate Great Moth is the fifth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 16, 2000 and in USA on October 20, 2001, but its original USA airing on Kids' WB! was fused with "Into the Hornet's Nest" and the episode was entitled "The Ultimate Great Moth". 4Kids TV will air the separate episode December 2, 2006.
Yugi has squashed all but one of Weevil's monsters, but unfortunately, Weevil has saved his best for last: his "Cocoon of Evolution", that grows stronger every turn until it hatches into an unstoppable "Great Moth".
Episode Summary
Joey, Tristan, and Téa congratulate Yugi on wiping out all of Weevil's monsters. Then Mai Valentine shows up to tell them that Yugi doesn't have a chance against the Regional Champion.
Weevil attempts to Summon his "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth" by playing "Larvae Moth" equipped with "Cocoon of Evolution" saying that in five turns, his "Larvae Moth" will undergo a startling transformation, becoming the Ultimate Great Moth.
Yugi falls behind and the gang encourage him to not give up. Mai mocks them telling them that their friendship speechs won't work. Teá retorts, telling Mai that she doesn't know about friendship.
Yugi appears to destroy to Cocoon, but only stops its evolution one turn early, causiong "Great Moth" to be summoned. Mai thinks the gang's not cheering now, Weevil's creature is unbeatable. They can chatter from the sidelines all they want, but it won't help Yugi one bit. (Japanese, Mai thinks, "So this is Haga's trump card." She's never seen it before. Haga's practically won already. Yugi's in a tight spot now.)
Yugi thinks Weevil turned the duel around one more time, but Yugi's not giving up yet. He tells Weevil he'll find a way to squash that oversized bug.
Yugi manages to dampen the Moth with "Makiu the Magical Mist", which in turn powers up his "Summoned Skull", who attacks with electricity. Yugi attacks, and destroys "Great Moth", wiping out the rest of Weevil's Life Points.
The gang cheer Yugi's win, while Mai stands with her mouth open. Impressive, she says. She didn't think Yugi could ever beat Weevil. (Japanese, Mai says now she sees how Yugi beat Kaiba.)
Yugi stands over a sniveling Weevil, telling him he won his duels by lying and cheating, but a true champion plays with honor. (Japanese, Yugi says, who would have thought that the first one to be sent home would be the all-Japan champion?) He takes Weevil's Star Chips, and Joey relieves him of his dueling glove. (The word "Retire" is written across Haga's "card" in the Japanese version, and his name, "Insector Haga," is written on the top.)
Yugi has three Star Chips now. But he still needs seven more to gain entry into the castle, where his grandfather is being held prisoner, and he'll battle Pegasus once and for all!

Weevil gets "Great Moth" to attack Gaia and Yugi plays a Magic Card. Weevil attacks and destroys Yugi's face-down "Beaver Warrior". The Great Moth's attack continues, enveloping Gaia the Fierce Knight in its vapors. (Japanese, Haga explains that the "Great Moth" destroys all land-based monsters at once.) Yugi shows that he has played "Polymerization", and fuses "Curse of Dragon" with "Gaia the Fierce Knight" to create "Gaia the Dragon Champion". Its ATK is 2600, the same as "Great Moth". But "Great Moth's" effect decreases "Gaia the Dragon's ATK.
Yugi draws "Makiu the Magical Mist" and uses it to wash the poison away.

Yugi Summons "Summoned Skull". "Makiu the Magical Mist" has dampened the field, while "Summoned Skull" attacks with electricity. The water boosts "Summoned Skull's" ATK by 1000. Yugi attacks, and destroys "Great Moth", reducing Weevil's Life Points to 0. Yugi wins.
