Changes

Joey was invited to Seto Kaiba's Grand Championship tournament. He served as mainly a comic relief character in this arc. After Yugi said the card "[[Heart of the Underdog]]" reminded him of a friend, calling Joey an underdog became a running gag that day. In the first round, he defeated Solomon Muto, who entered under the identity [[Grand Championship Contestants|Apdnarg Otum]], to test how well he had trained Joey. Only Joey was fooled by his disguise. After putting up a good fight he was defeated by [[Zigfried von Schroeder]] in the next round.When Yugi's grandpa was missing, Joey joined Yugi and the gang on a search to find Yugi's grandpa.
