Summary
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. He then draws Baby Dragon and summon him in attack mode. 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. He then tells him to him hand over his Locator Card and his "Jinzo" as that's the rules. Espa however acts like a sore loser and becomes jealous at Joey, revealing the earpiece that he was using to communicate with his brothers.
Just then, the other Roba brothers arrive, saying they are proud of Espa for doing his best and almost winning, even without cheating. Espa stands up and gives his brothers a hug. Later, he hands over his "Jinzo" and Locator Card to Joey, promising he will not cheat again. Joey accepts it, says "Smell you later" to the Roba brothers, and walks off with Tea and Solomon, knowing that he has won his first duel, but there are plenty more challenges ahead of him. However, he knows he will not be alone.
Featured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. Espa Roba - Part 2
Duel continued from previous episode.
Espa's turn
Espa has just managed to summon "Jinzo". He then activates Equip Magic Card "Amplifier", equipping it onto "Jinzo" and increasing its ATK by 500 ("Jinzo": 2400 → 2900 ATK / 1500 DEF). Also "Amplifier" will increase the ATK of "Jinzo" during each of Espa's Standby Phases. (NOTE: The real-life effect of Amplifier allows you to activate any Trap Cards that you have on the Field. Also if Amplifier is destroyed, "Jinzo" is destroyed as well. It doesn't increase Jinzo's ATK points). "Jinzo" attacks and destroys Alligator's Sword (Joey Wheeler 2600 → 1200 Life Points).
Joey's turn
Joey draws "Baby Dragon" and subsequently Normal Summons it in Attack Position (1200 ATK / 700 DEF). Joey then activates "Time Wizard" as a Magic Card. He then activates the effect of "Time Wizard". Since it is successful, Baby Dragon transforms into "Thousand Dragon" (2400 ATK / 2000 DEF). However, "Jinzo" is unaffected by Time Wizard's effect (instead of being destroyed). Espa explains that is because the armor of "Jinzo" can't age or corrode. "Thousand Dragon" attacks "Jinzo" before Joey realizes this. Since "Jinzo" was stronger than "Thousand Dragon" when the latter attacked, "Thousand Dragon" is destroyed (Joey 1200 → 700 Life Points). Joey activates Quick-Play Magic Card "Scapegoat" to Special Summon 4 "Sheep Tokens" in Defense Position (0 ATK / 0 DEF for all four).
Espa's turn
Espa draws. On Espa's Standby Phase, "Amplifier's effect increases "Jinzo's" ATK by 300 ("Jinzo" 2900 → 3200 ATK / 1500 DEF). Espa Normal Summons "Reflect Bounder" in Attack Position (1700 ATK / 1000 DEF). "Jinzo" attacks and destroys a Sheep Token. "Reflect Bounder" attacks and destroys another Sheep Token.
Joey's turn
Joey draws Magic Card "Roulette Spider" and subsequently activates it, paying half of his Life Points (Joey 700 → 350 Life Points)[Notes 1] to select "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". "Roulette Spider's" effect 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, destroying "Jinzo" and inflicting the Battle Damage between the two battling monsters to Espa as "Jinzo" was his monster (Espa 1440 → 0 Life Points). Joey wins. (NOTE: In the real game, if "Reflect Bounder" is attacked by another monster, the opponent would have lost Life Points equal to the ATK points of the attacking monster. Either way, Joey would have still won).
Epilogue
Joey obtains "Jinzo" and one Locator Card from Espa as per the Battle City rules.
