*When [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] attacks [[Zigfried von Schroeder|Zigfried]]'s "[[Valkyrie Erste]]" with his "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon(later anime)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" (second-to-last turn of the episode), the English Dub is poorly translated.**In the Dub, Joey says "''Fine. Alright Red-Eyes, you get rid of her! With Inferno Fire Blast''", clearly referring to "[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]" (which had been previously attacked by Joey's "[[Maximum Six (anime)|Maximum Six]]", but had avoided destruction thanks to its special effect).

Zigfried has just activated "[[Ride of The Valkyries]]" to Special Summon three "[[Valkyrie Zweite]]" (1600/1600) and one "[[Valkyrie Erste]]" (1600/1800) in Attack Position. Since the first "[[Valkyrie Zweite]]" was summoned, its effect activates, destroying Joey's "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]". Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Valkyrie Erste]]", removing the "[[Jinzo]]" in Joey's [[Graveyard]] from play and increasing the ATK of "Valkyrie Erste" by the ATK of "Jinzo" until the End Phase ("[[Valkyrie Erste]]": 1600 → 2400/1800).

The three "[[Valkyrie Zweite]]" and "[[Valkyrie Erste]]" attack directly, but Joey activates his face-down "[[Hyper Refresh]]" to double his Life Points before [[damage calculation]] since the combined ATK of all Attack Position monsters Zigfried controls is higher than his Life Points ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] 4000 → 8000). The attacks continue ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] 8000 → 5600 → 4000 → 2400 → 800). Zigfried then Sets a card. On Zigfried's End Phase, all [[Valkyries|Valkyrie]] monsters that Zigfried summoned via "Ride of the Valkyries" return to his [[Main Deck|Deck]].

Joey draws. He then Normal Summons "[[Swordsman of Landstar (anime)|Swordsman of Landstar]]" (500/1200) in Attack Position. "Swordsman of Landstar" attacks directly, but Zigfried activates his face-down "[[Fricka's Mediation]]" to remove the "[[Wotan's Judgment]]" in his Graveyard from play and reduce the Battle Damage he takes this turn to 0. Joey then Sets a card ("[[Graceful Dice (anime)|Graceful Dice]]").

Zigfried draws "[[Nibelung's Treasure]]" and subsequently activates it to activate "[[Nibelung's Ring]]" from his [[Deck]] to Joey's side of the field, equipping "Nibelung's Ring" onto Joey's "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]". Now the equipped monster can't attack, be [[Tribute]]d, change its [[battle position]] or activate any effects it has. Also, Joey will draw two cards during each of his Draw Phases instead of conducting a normal Draw during his Draw Phase. If Joey has drawn any monsters through the effect of "Nibelung's Ring", then he must discard one of the drawn monsters. Due to the secondary effect of "[[Nibelung's Treasure]]", Zigfried draws five cards.

Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Skuld's Oracle]]" to look at the top three cards of Joey's Deck ("[[Knight of Dark Dragon (anime)|Knight of Dark Dragon]]", "[[Panther Warrior (anime)|Panther Warrior]]" and "[[Dangerous Machine Type-6]]"). Zigfried tells Joey to place "[[Panther Warrior]]" on top and he does so. Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Verdande's Guidance]]" and guesses that Joey's top card is a "[[Monster Card]]". He is correct, so Joey [[Special Summon]]s "[[Panther Warrior]]" in face-down [[Defense Position]]. Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Urd's Verdict]]" effect to target Joey's face-down card and guess that the card is "[[Panther Warrior]]". He is correct, so "[[Panther Warrior]]" is removed from play.

Due to the effect of "[[Nibelung's Ring]]", Joey draws two cards ("Knight of Dark Dragon" and "Dangerous Machine Type-6") instead of conducting a normal draw. He discards "Knight of Dark Dragon". Joey then activates "[[Dangerous Machine Type-6]]". Now during each of Joey's Standby Phases, Joey can roll a die and then he can activate an appropriate effect of "Dangerous Machine Type-6", depending on the result.

Zigfried draws. He then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Skuld's Oracle]]" to look at the top three cards of Joey's deck ("[[Grappler of Landstar]]", "[[Goblin Attack Force (anime)|Goblin Attack Force]]", and "[[Sasuke Samurai]]"). Zigfried tells Joey to place "[[Goblin Attack Force]]" on top and he does so. Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Verdande's Guidance]]" and guesses Joey's top card is a "[[Monster Card]]". He is correct, so Joey [[Special Summon]]s "[[Goblin Attack Force]]" in face-down [[Defense Position]]. Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Urd's Verdict]]" to target Joey's face-down card and guess that the set card is "[[Goblin Attack Force]]". He is correct, so "[[Goblin Attack Force]]" is removed from play. Zigfried then Sets a card.

Due to the effect of "[[Nibelung's Ring]]", Joey draws two cards ("[[Grappler of Landstar]]" and "[[Sasuke Samurai]]") instead of conducting a normal draw. Joey discards "[[Grappler of Landstar]]". On Joey's Standby Phase, he activates the effect of "[[Dangerous Machine Type-6]]" to roll a die. Joey gets a 3, so he draws 1 a card. Joey then Normal Summons "[[Sasuke Samurai (anime)|Sasuke Samurai]]" (500/800) in [[Attack Position]]. Zigfried then activates his face-down "[[Loge's Flame]]". Now any monsters with 2000 [[ATK]] or less can't attack.

Joey then activates his face-down "[[Graceful Dice]]" to roll a die and multiply the ATK of "Sasuke Samurai" by the die result. Joey gets a three ("[[Sasuke Samurai]]": 500 → 1500/800). Joey then sets a card ("[[Silver Dollar]]"). On Joey's End Phase, the effect of "Graceful Dice" expires ("[[Sasuke Samurai]]": 1500 → 500/800).

Zigfried draws. He then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Skuld's Oracle]]" to look at the top three cards of Joey's deck ("[[Blue Flame Swordsman (anime)|Blue Flame Swordsman]]", "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight (anime)|Gearfried the Iron Knight]]", and "[[Release Restraint (anime)|Release Restraint]]"). Zigfried tells Joey to place "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" on top and he does so. Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Verdande's Guidance]]" and guesses that Joey's top card is a "[[Monster Card]]". He is correct, so Joey [[Special Summon]]s "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" in face-down [[Defense Position]]. Zigfried then activates the effect of "[[Goddess Urd's Verdict]]" to target Joey's face-down card and guess that the set card is "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight]]". He is correct, so "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" is removed from play.

Zigfried then activates "[[Swan Maiden]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Valkyrie Erste]]" (1600/1800) from his hand in Attack Position. "Valkyrie Erste" attacks Joey's "[[Sasuke Samurai]]", but Joey activates his face-down "[[Silver Dollar]]" to reduce the Battle Damage he would take to 0 and prevent his monster from being destroyed. Zigfried then Sets a card.

Due to the effect of "[[Nibelung's Ring]]", Joey draws two cards ("[[Release Restraint]]" and "[[Blue Flame Swordsman]]") instead of conducting a normal draw. Joey discards "[[Blue Flame Swordsman]]". On Joey's Standby Phase, he activates the effect of "[[Dangerous Machine Type-6]]" to roll a die. Joey gets a 3, so he draws one a card ("[[Roll of Fate]]"). Joey then activates "[[Roll of Fate]]" to roll a die. Depending on the result, Joey can draw cards equal to the die result and then send the same number of cards from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Joey gets a 6, so he draws six cards and sends the top six cards from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to his [[Graveyard]].

Joey then activates "[[Giant Trunade (anime)|Giant Trunade]]" to return all [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Cards]] on the field to their owners' hands; "[[Dangerous Machine Type-6]]" returns to Joey's hand while "[[Nibelung's Ring]]", "[[Goddess Urd's Verdict]]", "[[Goddess Verdande's Guidance]]", "[[Goddess Skuld's Oracle]]", and Zigfried's set card are returned to Zigfried's hand. Zigfried's set card is revealed to be "[[Apple of Enlightenment]]". Since the latter was removed from the field, its effect activates, allowing Zigfried to draw a card.

Since Zigfried's "[[Loge's Flame]]" was removed from the field, its second effect activates, allowing Zigfried to [[Special Summon]] "[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]" (1800/2000) in [[Attack Position]]. Due to the effect of "[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]", it gains 300 [[ATK]] for every [[Dragon]] and [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] monster on the field. Joey currently controls two Wariror-type monsters ("[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]": 1800 → 2400/2000).

Joey then Tributes "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]" in order to Tribute Summon "[[Maximum Six (anime)|Maximum Six]]" (1900/1600) in Attack Position. Since "Maximum Six" was Tribute Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Joey to roll a die and increase the ATK of "Maximum Six" by the die result times 200. Joey gets a 6 ("[[Maximum Six]]": 1900 → 3100/1600).

Joey then activates "[[Star Blaster]]" to target "[[Sasuke Samurai]]" and roll a die. The die result will be added to the Level of "Sasuke Samurai" and after that happens Joey can Tribute "Sasuke Samurai" to summon a monster from his hand whose Level is the same as the Level of "Sasuke Samurai". Joey gets a 5 ("Sasuke Samurai": Level 2 → 7). Joey then Tributes "Sasuke Samurai" in order to [[Special Summon]] "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon (later anime)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" (2400/2000) in [[Attack Position]].

"[[Maximum Six]]" attacks Zigfried's "[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]", but Zigfried activates the second effect of "[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]" to reduce its [[DEF]] by 1000 ("[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]": 2400/2000 → 1000) and prevent its destruction ([[Zigfried von Schroeder|Zigfried]] 1600 → 900). "[[Red-Eyes B. Black Dragon]]" attacks & destroys Zigfried's "[[Valkyrie Erste]]" ([[Zigfried von Schroeder|Zigfried]] 900 → 100). Joey then re-activates "Dangerous Machine Type-6" and Sets a card.

Zigfried draws. He then activates "[[Enchanted Sword Nothung]]", equipping it to "Valkyrie Brunhilde" and increasing its ATK by 400 [[ATK]] ("[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]": 2400 → 2800/1000). Now when the equipped monster battles a Dragon-type monster, that monster will be destroyed at the start of the Damage Step without applying Damage Calculation. Since "Enchanted Sword Nothung" was equipped, its second effect activates, destroying Joey's "[[Red-Eyes B. Black Dragon]]" and removing it from play ("[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]": 2800 → 2500/1000).

Zigfried then activates "[[Rainbow Bridge Bifrost]]" to target "[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]" and increase its ATK by 500 for each of Joey's monsters that are currently removed from play until the End Phase. There are currently five monsters in Joey's Removed from Play Zone ("[[Valkyrie Brunhilde]]": 2500 → 5000/1000).

"Valkyrie Brunhilde" attacks "[[Maximum Six]]", but Joey activates his face-down "[[Compensation Mediation]]" to force Zigfried to pick two cards from his [[Graveyard]] and put them along with "[[Compensation Mediation]]" face-down on the field. Joey picks one card. It is revealed to be "[[Swan Maiden]]". Because the card that Joey chose was not "[[Compensation Mediation]]", its effect is negated. "Valkyrie Brunhilde" then destroys "[[Maximum Six]]" ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] 800 → 0).

*In the dub, after [[Zigfried Lloydvon Schroeder|Zigfried]] removed [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]]'s "[[Panther Warrior (anime)|Panther Warrior]]" from play, Zigfried said "Parting is such sweet sorrow" which is a reference to Romeo and Juliet.
