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.
Featured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. Solomon Muto - Part 2
Duel continues from previous episode.
Joey Wheeler's Turn
- 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 while 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.
- 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 sets a card.
Solomon Muto's Turn
- 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).
Joey Wheeler's Turn
- Summons "Goblin Attack Force" (2300 ATK / 0 DEF) in Attack Position.
Solomon Muto's Turn
- Pays "Ancient Tome's upkeep cost, discarding "Sinister Serpent" from his hand.
- Activates "Sinister Serpent's" special ability: Solomon returns it from its Graveyard to its Hand.
- Switches his two "Stone Giants" to Attack Position.
- Activates "Ancient Key's" special ability, tributing it along with his two "Stone Giants" to activate Continuous Spell Card "Ancient Gate".
- Activates "Ancient City's" special effect: he Tributes "Ancient Gate", "Ancient Giant" and "Ancient Tome" to Special Summon "Ancient Dragon" (2800 ATK / 2100 DEF) in Attack Position.
- Uses "Ancient Dragon" to attack & destroy Joey's "Goblin Attack Force" (Joey: 2200 → 1700 Life Points).
- Due to "Ancient Dragon's" special effect, all of Joey's Defense Position monsters are destroyed (in this case, his 3 "Sheep Tokens").
Joey Wheeler's Turn
- Activates Spell Card "Roll of Fate": Joey must roll a dice and draw the same number of cards as the result of the roll, then send that same number of cards from the top of his Deck to his Graveyard.
- 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.
Solomon Muto's Turn
- Uses "Ancient Dragon" to attack Joey's "Gilford the Lightning": both monsters are destroyed.
- Activates "Ancient City's" second special ability, Special Summoning "Ancient Dragon" (2800 ATK / 2100 DEF) from his Graveyard back to the field.
Joey Wheeler's Turn
- Activates Spell Card "Pot of Greed" to draw 2 cards.
- Activates Equip Spell Card "Premature Burial": Joey pays 800 LP (Joey: 1700 → 900 Life Points) to Special Summon "Goblin Attack Force" (2300 ATK / 0 DEF) in Attack Position.
- Activates Spell Card "Giant Trunade", returning all Spell and Trap Cards to their owner's hands
- "Legendary Gambler", "Ordeal of a Traveler", and "Ancient City" are returned to Solomon's hand.
- "Premature Burial" is returned to Joey's hand (and because "Premature Burial" was not 'destroyed', "Goblin Attack Force" remains on the field).
- Activates Equip Spell Card "Premature Burial" again: Joey pays 800 LP (Joey: 900 → 100 Life Points) to Special Summon "Gilford the Lightning" (2800 ATK / 1400 DEF) in Attack Position.
- Uses "Gilford the Lightning" to attack Solomon's "Ancient Dragon": both monsters are destroyed.
- Uses "Goblin Attack Force" to attack Solomon directly (Solomon: 1200 → 0 Life Points). Joey wins.
- (NOTE: Joey didn't really need to activate "Premature Burial" to summon "Goblin Attack Force", for at that point, it was shown that he had "Alligator's Sword" in his hand and he hadn't Normal Summoned that turn. Since a direct attack by "Alligator's Sword" would have defeated Solomon after "Gilford the Lightning" destroyed "Ancient Dragon", that move wasn't critical; Joey possibly did this to show viewers a neat combo, to win the duel with 100 Life Points left (which seems to happen a lot in the anime), also for what seems like dramatic effect followed by comedic effect).
