Changes

The duel between Espa Roba and Joey Wheeler continues and things do not look good for Joey because Espa's "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]" has 2400 [[ATK]] and prevents Joey from using [[Trap Card]]s. 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 (anime)|Reflect Bounder]]" destroy two of Joey's "[[Sheep Token(anime)|Sheep Tokens]]s", 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 and tells him to hand over his Locator Card and his "Jinzo" as that's the rules. Espa however acts like a sore loser and pleads him to not to make him do so as his brothers are counting him constantly to protect them. Espa reveals that if the public knows he is a loser, they will be picked on by bullies and he won't be able to help them. Joey tries to help him, but Espa slaps Joey away, revealing the earpiece that he was using to communicate with his brothers.

Joey tries to help him, but Espa slaps Joey away, revealing the earpiece that he was using to communicate with his brothers.  Just then, the other Roba brothers arrive and they reveal to Espa that they are proud of him for doing his best and almost winning, even without cheating. Espa stands up and gives his brothers a hug. Later Espa hands over his "[[Jinzo]]" and [[Locator Card]] to Joey and promises 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.

[[Espa Roba|Espa]] has just managed to summon "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]". He then [[activate]]s "[[Amplifier (anime)|Amplifier]]", [[equip]]ping it to "[[Jinzo]]" and increasing its [[ATK]] by 500 ("[[Jinzo]]": 2400 → 2900/1500). Also "Amplifier" will increase the ATK of "Jinzo" by 300 during each of Espa's Standby Phases. "[[Jinzo]]" [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "[[Alligator's Sword (anime)|Alligator's Sword]] " ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] 2600 LP → 1200 LP).

[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] draws "[[Baby Dragon (anime)|Baby Dragon]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/700) in [[Attack Position]]. Joey then [[activate]]s "[[Time Wizard (anime)|Time Wizard]]" as a Magic Card. He then activates the effect of "Time Wizard". Joey succeeds in the effect, so "[[Baby Dragon]]" transforms into "[[Thousand Dragon (anime)|Thousand Dragon]]" (2400/2000), but "[[Jinzo]]" is unaffected by [[the effect of "Time Wizard]]'s [[Card effect|effect]]". Espa explains that is because the armor of "Jinzo" can't age or corrode. "[[Thousand Dragon]]" attacks "[[Jinzo]]" before Joey realizes this. "Jinzo" destroys "Thousand Dragon" ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] 1200 LP → 700 LP). [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[activate]]s "[[Scapegoat (anime)|Scapegoat]]" to [[Special Summon]] 4 four "[[Sheep Token(anime)|Sheep Tokens]]s" in [[Defense Position]] (0/0 for all four)in [[Defense Position]].

Espa draws. On Espa's Standby Phase, the second effect of "[[Amplifier]]'s second [[Card effect|effect]] " activates ("[[Jinzo]]": 2900 → 3200/1500). [[Espa Roba|Espa]] then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Reflect Bounder (anime)|Reflect Bounder]]" (1700/1000) in [[Attack Position]]. When this monster is attacked, both "Reflect Bounder" and the attacking monster will be destroyed after damage calculation. After that is done, the controller of the attacking monster will take all Battle Damage that Espa would have taken from the battle. "[[Jinzo]]" and "[[Reflect Bounder]]" then [[attack]] and [[destroy]] two [["Sheep Token]]sTokens".

[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] draws "[[Roulette Spider (anime)|Roulette Spider]]" and subsequently activates it to pay half of his Life Points (Joey 700 LP → 350 LP)<ref group="Notes" name="Roulette Spider">The written anime lore of "Roulette Spider" does not say that the player needs to pay half of his/her Life Points to activate it.</ref> and target "[[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". The effect of "[[Roulette Spider]]" chooses "[[Reflect Bounder]]" as the target for "Jinzo". "Jinzo" attacks and destroys "Reflect Bounder". Since "[[Reflect Bounder]]" was attacked by a monster, its [[Card effect|effect]] activates, [[destroy]]ing "[[Jinzo]]" and inflicting the Battle Damage between the two battling monsters to Espa as "Jinzo" was his monster ([[Espa Roba|Espa]] 1440 LP → 0 LP). Joey wins. (NOTE: In the real game, if "[[Reflect Bounder]]" is attacked by another [[Monster Card|monster]], the opponent would have lost [[Life Points]] equal to the [[ATK]] points of the attacking [[Monster Card|monster]]. Either way, Joey would have still won).

[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] obtains "[[Jinzo]]" and one [[Locator Card]] from [[Espa Roba|Espa]] as per the Battle City rules.
