"Child's Play", known as "Fierce Fighting! Rebecca vs. Vivian" in the Japanese version, is the one-hundred eighty-ninth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime. It first aired in Japan on January 28, 2004 and in the United States on September 10, 2005.

Rebecca Hawkins and Vivian Wong engage in their KC Grand Prix Duel. Meanwhile, Seto Kaiba continues to search for the hacker, whom he begins to suspect may be one of the competitors in the tournament. Zigfried is ambushed by Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor, and decides to face them both at the same time in a Duel.

Summary

The group come out of the Jungle Zone and Mokuba spots Rebecca Hawkins and Vivian Wong getting ready for their B Block Duel in the "Blue-Eyes Train Station". Solomon is thrilled and suggests going to cheer. Tristan jokingly asks who he's gonna cheer for, so he quickly announces he'll cheer Rebecca to please Professor Hawkins. Suddenly, his spine creaks and he collapses: he's thrown out his back. Mokuba quickly calls for a medic while Solomon tells Yugi and his friends to go on ahead.

Meanwhile, Fortune Salim is heading towards the restrooms and Weevil Underwood along with Rex Raptor decide to intercept him: they rush inside, knock him out, take off his tunic, and lock him in the closet after tying up and gagging him.

Rebecca and Vivian begin their Duel after some initial tension. Yugi and his friends come to cheer and Vivian goes crazy upon spotting him. Téa encourages Rebecca to beat Vivian.

From the control center inside of "Blue-Eyes Dome", Kaiba monitors all Duels; all's too quiet for his taste. He was expecting the hacker to make some more noise or signal its presence in a more open manner. He suddenly realizes that he could be among the Duelists, so he orders a checking of all of the Duelists' backgrounds: he's sure to catch the "mouse" like this.

The two girls' Duel continues: the lead switches in a quick manner, but Rebecca's combo of Life Points recovery and burn damage manages to wear her down. Duke Devlin comments upon Vivian being called the "Duel Queen" for her all-out victory in the Asia Tournament. Obviously, Kaiba wouldn't choose just anyone to participate in the KC Grand Prix. However, Rebecca manages to win in the end thanks to her combo skills.

In the meanwhile, Paul McGregor defeats another of the contestants, Shane Jordan, in the A Block Round 1 Duel. Another Duel in the A Block is about to start: Zigfried Lloyd VS Fortune Salim. On the way to the Duel spot, Weevil and Rex (who have assumed his identity) trip down a flight of stairs and are exposed. Mokuba demands to know what happened to the real Salim and Weevil improvises that he's not feeling well and asked of them to replace him. Mokuba obviously doesn't buy it and announces that, since they're not registered, this Duel will be invalidated and Zigfried will automatically win. At that moment, Zigfried announces that he doesn't mind having a Duel with them: they'll be just an entertainment but far more worth than winning in an automatic manner. This made the two mad, and they agree to a tag team against him. Zigfrieg glances at a nearby CCTV camera and thinks that he'll show Kaiba a bit of my "true power".

Both Rex and Weevil managed to Summon high-Level Effect Monsters in just 1 turn. Zigfried draws and activates a Spell Card: "Ride of the Valkyries". Due to its effect, he Summons 4 "Valkyrie" monsters and, in just 1 turn, defeats both enemy monsters and wipes out Weevil and Rex's Life Points. Even Kaiba is taken aback by it. Yugi suspects that he'll be a very difficult opponent indeed.

Featured Duel #2: Weevil Underwood & Rex Raptor vs. Zigfried Lloyd

Turn 1: Weevil

  • Weevil draws "Pinch Hopper" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1000/1200) in Attack Position.
  • Activates Spell Card "Insecticide" to Destroy "Pinch Hopper".
    • The effect of "Pinch Hopper" activates upon being sent from the field to the Graveyard, allowing Weevil to Special Summon an Insect-type monster from his hand. He chooses to Special Summon "Insect Queen" (2200/2400) from his Hand in Attack Position.
    • Insect Queen's effect increase its ATK by 200 for each Insect-type monster on the field. Since Insect Queen is an Insect-type monster, its ATK increases by 200 ("Insect Queen": 2200 → 2400/2400)

Turn 2: Rex

Turn 3: Zigfried

  • Zigfried draws Spell Card "Ride of The Valkyries" and subsequently activates it, Special Summoning as many Valkyries Monsters as he can from his Hand. He Specials Summon two "Valkyrie Zwei" (1600/1600) and two "Valkyrie Erste" (1600/1800) in Attack Position.
  • The first "Valkyrie Zwei's" effect activates, destroying Rex's "Black Tyranno".
  • The second "Valkyrie Zwei's" effect activates, destroying Weevil's "Insect Queen".
  • The first "Valkyrie Erste's" Special Ability Activates, removing "Black Tyranno" in Rex's Graveyard from play and increasing the ATK of "Valkyrie Erste" by the ATK of "Black Tyranno" until the End Phase ("Valkyrie Erste": 1600 → 2600/1800).
  • The second "Valkyrie Erste's" Special Ability Activates, removing "Insect Queen" in Weevil's Graveyard from play and increasing the ATK of "Valkyrie Erste" by the ATK of "Insect Queen" until the End Phase ("Valkyrie Erste": 1600 → 2200/1800).
  • The two "Valkyrie Zweis" and the two "Valkyrie Erstes" attack Weevil and Rex directly (Weevil Underwood 4000 → 1600 → 0) (Rex Raptor 4000 → 1400 → 0).
  • Zigfried wins.
    • (NOTE #1: Since Weevil and Rex had separate LP counts, the only way Zigfried could have Attacked is 1600 + 2600 = 4200 and 1600 + 2400 = 4000. In either case in the anime, Zigfried is shown to execute all his movements at once, surrounding both Opponents' Monsters in one big cloud of dust and dropping their LP to zero when the dust clears, for great dramatic, brevity, and surprise effect).
    • (NOTE #2: for even greater dramatic effect, in the Japanese version of the anime "Ride of The Valkyries's" activation is musically accompanied by Richard Wagner's very own Walkürenritt).
    • (NOTE #3: According to the established rules regarding Duels with more than two participants, none of them are able to attack on their first turn, so Zigfried should not have been able to win like this. However, because his original opponent, Fortune Salim, was intercepted and gagged, this was supposed to be a 1-on-1 and the rules unofficially changed, so Zigfried could've attacked on his first turn.)

Differences In Adaptations

  • The hypodermic needle belonging to "Injection Fairy Lily" is changed to a rocket in the US version.
  • Cut from the US version is a shot of Rebecca making rude gestures at Vivian after she wins.
  • The kanji is removed from the veil of "Master Kyonshee" in the US version. It means "spell" or "curse".
  • Vivian is given shorts to wear under her slit skirt in the US version.
  • Cut from the US version is where Grandpa Muto blows steam from his nose and his eyes turning into pink hearts over how beautiful Vivian Wong is.
  • Cut from the US version are shots of Vivian saying she wishes her rival were Yugi or Kaiba. She could use her beautiful skills to make them her captives of love, and together they'd be the strongest dueling couple in the world.
  • "Ultra Evolution Pill" has been altered to remove the pill.

Errors

  • When Rebecca hands over Vivian's shuffled deck, the latter takes it with her right hand in a swift motion. Vivian then holds out Rebecca's shuffled deck in the same hand immediately afterward. However, Rebecca's deck was in her left hand just before she took back her own deck. Unless she quickly swapped the decks between her hands within that one motion, that would mean Vivian was handing over her own deck to Rebecca, and not Rebecca's deck.
