Later Mai equips this monster with "Cyber Shield", increasing its ATK by 500. Later, Mai activates "De-Spell" to destroy Téa's "Silver Bow and Arrow".

In the next episode, Mai explains to Yugi that a Duelist can learn more from a loss than a win and this is enough to convince Yugi to let Yami Yugi Duel without any problems. Mai later activates "Elegant Egotist" to transform this card into "Harpie Lady Sisters". Later Mai draws another copy of this card, but she chooses not to summon it yet. This proves to be a mistake for Mai as Yugi then Ritual Summons "Black Luster Soldier" and uses it to attack and destroy "Harpie's Pet Dragon". Mai notes in her mind that if she had summoned this card earlier then her "Harpie's Pet Dragon" would have been able to destroy "Black Luster Soldier". Unwilling to see her Harpies be destroyed, Mai forfeits the Duel.
