In the dub, Yanagi says he (Hunter) sure talks a lot, while [[Bolt Tanner]] replies in this case he can put his money where his mouth is. *In the dub, [[Zigzix]] wanted to see what Yusei was made of. He did not say this in the original. ==Card creation contest==At the end of the episode's original broadcast, there was an announcement asking viewers to send their own card creations to an address.
