Summary[edit]
The duel between Espa Roba and Joey Wheeler continues and things do not look good for Joey because Espa's "Jinzo" has 2400 ATK and prevents Joey from using Trap Cards. All of Joey's attempts to destroy "Jinzo" fail and he is on the brink of giving up. Back in the hospital, Tristan lies to Serenity about the Duel, saying that Joey is winning when in fact, he is not. When a nurse comes in to examine Serenity, Tristan leaves the room and decides to call Tea, who is at the park with Solomon Muto. Tristan returns to Serenity's room, who now knows the real status of the duel. She asked the nurse to look at the laptop and tell her what was going on while Tristan was out. Tristan apologizes for lying to Serenity and the two start cheering for Joey.
Back at the Duel, Espa's "Jinzo" and "Reflect Bounder" destroy two of Joey's "Sheep Tokens", leaving him with just two more before he becomes wide open for a direct attack. Joey doesn't look too good, but Tea and Solomon arrive and tell him that Tristan called from the hospital to say that he and Serenity are watching the duel on the Internet. Tea says they all believe in him, encouraging Joey to fight on.
Joey activates "Roulette Spider" and with sheer luck, he ends up winning the Duel. Everyone cheers, except for Espa, who falls down in defeat. Joey tells him that was a good Duel and tells him to hand over his Locator Card and his "Jinzo" as that's the rules.

Featured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. Espa Roba - Part 2[edit]
Duel continued from previous episode.
Joey has 2600 LP remaining and controls "Alligator's Sword" (1500/1200) in Attack Position.
Espa Roba has 1440 LP remaining and controls "Jinzo" (2400/1500) in Attack Position.
Turn 6: Espa
Espa has just managed to summon "Jinzo". He then activates "Amplifier", equipping it to "Jinzo" and increasing its ATK by 500 ("Jinzo": 2400 → 2900/1500). Also "Amplifier" will increase the ATK of "Jinzo" by 300 during each of Espa's Standby Phases. "Jinzo" attacks and destroys "Alligator's Sword" (Joey 2600 LP → 1200 LP).
Turn 7: Joey
Joey draws "Baby Dragon" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/700) in Attack Position. Joey then activates "Time Wizard" as a Magic Card. He then activates the effect of "Time Wizard". Joey succeeds in the effect, so "Baby Dragon" transforms into "Thousand Dragon" (2400/2000), but "Jinzo" is unaffected by the effect of "Time Wizard". Espa explains that is because the armor of "Jinzo" is made of a special alloy that can't age or corrode. "Thousand Dragon" attacks "Jinzo" before Joey realizes this. "Jinzo" destroys "Thousand Dragon" (Joey 1200 LP → 700 LP). Joey activates "Scapegoat" to Special Summon four "Sheep Tokens" (0/0 for all four) in Defense Position.
Turn 8: Espa
Espa draws. On Espa's Standby Phase, the second effect of "Amplifier" activates ("Jinzo": 2900 → 3200/1500). Espa then Normal Summons "Reflect Bounder" (1700/1000) in Attack Position. When this monster is attacked, both "Reflect Bounder" and the attacking monster will be destroyed after damage calculation. After that is done, the controller of the attacking monster will take all Battle Damage that Espa would have taken from the battle. "Jinzo" and "Reflect Bounder" then attack and destroy two "Sheep Tokens".
Turn 9: Joey
Joey draws "Roulette Spider" and subsequently activates it to pay half of his Life Points (Joey 700 LP → 350 LP)[Note 1] and target "Jinzo" (as it is the strongest monster Espa has out on the field). "Roulette Spider" then forcibly spins "Jinzo" until it randomly chooses a player or monster for "Jinzo" to attack and whatever is chosen will be attacked by "Jinzo". The effect of "Roulette Spider" chooses "Reflect Bounder" as the target for "Jinzo". "Jinzo" attacks and destroys "Reflect Bounder". Since "Reflect Bounder" was attacked by a monster, its effect activates, reflecting the attack back to "Jinzo" as well and destroying it. Espa then takes the 1500 Battle Damage from the battle as the attack target was on his side of the field (Espa 1440 LP → 0 LP).
Epilogue[edit]
Joey obtains "Jinzo" and one Locator Card from Espa as per the Battle City rules.

Errors[edit]
- At the start of the episode, Espa Roba is shown with one more card in his hand than he should have possibly had.

- The "Battle Warrior" and "Flame Swordsman" that should have been in Joey's hand from the previous episode are inexplicably replaced with "Time Wizard" and "Scapegoat" in this episode.
