Events
- Valon and Joey are both being pushed to their physical limits, but both are determined to see this through to the end. Valon has no monsters on his field, and Joey armor combo from the previous turns has been broken into its components.
- Joey prepares a few extra cards and ends his turn. Both players know that, if his armor is destroyed, Joey will lose.
- Valon summons his favorite Armor monsters back from the grave for one final attack. He acknowledges that he's never gotten to face anyone quite so persistent as Joey, but because of that, he must duel with all he has.
- Joey agrees, but he insists that it will be Valon who loses in this. With his last combo, he prepares to make an addition to his armor, but completion of the weapon depends on returning a random card from the Graveyard. He draws, and to Valon's bewilderment, he has gotten back The Claw of Hermos. The result is two duelists bearing their hearts on their sleeves -- and on their fists, too.
- Valon welcomes this as the true duel he's been looking for, with an unmatchable opponent. The collision of their final attack causes an explosion that knocks Mai off her feet and signals to Yami, Tea and Tristan (who are still many blocks away) where the duel is happening.
- Mai sees the two of them struggling for ground and calls out Joey's name. The surprise to Valon becomes complete when the full effect of Joey's combo is explained.
Featured Duel #1: Joey Wheeler vs. Valon - Part 4
Duel continues from previous episode.
Joey Wheeler's Turn
- Since Aura Armor's "Player Token" was Special Summoned to the field, Joey must pay half his LP (Joey Wheeler: 200 → 100 Life Points).
- Joey sets two cards.
Valon's Turn
- Activates "Psychic Armor Head's" second special ability, Special Summoning it (0 → 500 ATK / 500 DEF) back from the Graveyard.
- Activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Phoenix Gravitation": Valon Special Summons "Burning Knuckle" (0 → 500 ATK / 1000 DEF), "Jet Gauntlet" (0 → 500 ATK / 1500 DEF), "Over Boost" (0 → 500 ATK / 1000 DEF), and "Active Guard" (0 → 500 ATK / 2500 DEF) back from his Graveyard.
- Thanks to its special ability, "Burning Knuckle" gains +200 ATK for each face-up Armor Monster Valon controls: with 5 such monsters this totals to a +1000 ATK bonus ("Burning Knuckle": 500 → 1500 ATK / 1000 DEF).
- Joey activates Trap Card "Graverobber", activating "Big Bang Blow" in Valon's Graveyard and Special Summoning to his side of the field (0 ATK / 0 DEF) (NOTE: in the real game, only Spell Cards can be targeted with "Graverobber" and the activation of the robbed spell has a 2000 LP cost).
- Joey activates Trap Card "Take One Chance": the card randomly selected from his Graveyard is "The Claw of Hermos". It is immediately activated.
- Joey fuses "Big Bang Blow" with "The Claw of Hermos" to form "Big Bang Dragon Blow", equipping it to his "Player Token".
- Valon uses "Burning Knuckle" to attack Joey's "Player Token", but Joey activates "Big Bang Dragon Blow's" special ability: he Tributes "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" to destroy Valon's monsters and inflict him damage equal to their combined ATK values (Valon's Active Guard is thereby destroyed before damage is dealt, and thus can't be used as damage prevention). (Valon: 900 → 0 Life Points). Joey wins.
Epilogue
- "The Seal of Orichalcos" claims Valon's soul.
- In order to save her from the dark influence of the Orichalcos, Joey immediately challenges Mai to another Duel.

Mai Valentine's Turn
- Summons "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800 ATK / 1300 DEF) in Attack Position.
Joey Wheeler's Turn
- Summons "Blue Flame Swordsman" (1800 ATK / 1600 DEF) in Attack Position.
Mai Valentine's Turn
- Summons another "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800 ATK / 1300 DEF) in Attack Position and equips it with Equip Spell Card "Aero Nail", increasing its ATK by 300 ("Cyber Harpie Lady": 1800 → 2100 ATK / 1300 DEF).
- Uses the "Cyber Harpie Lady" equipped with "Aero Nail" to attack & destroy Joey's "Blue Flame Swordsman" (Joey: 4000 → 3700 Life Points). "Blue Flame Swordsman's" second special ability activates: Joey can Special Summon "Flame Swordsman" (1800 ATK / 1600 DEF) in Attack Position (NOTE: in the anime, "Flame Swordsman" is not a Fusion Monster).
- Sets a card.
Joey Wheeler's Turn
- Tributes "Flame Swordsman" to Summon "Cyber-Tech Alligator" (2500 ATK / 1600 DEF), and uses it to attack & destroy Mai's "Cyber Harpie Lady" equipped with "Aero Nail" (Mai: 4000 → 3600 Life Points).
- Thanks to its special ability, "Aero Nail" can re-equip itself to Mai's other "Cyber Harpie Lady" ("Cyber Harpie Lady": 1800 → 2100 ATK / 1300 DEF).
- Sets a card.
Mai Valentine's Turn
- Activates Field Spell Card "The Seal of Orichalcos". From now on, all of Mai's monsters will receive a +500 ATK boost and the loser of this Duel will lose his soul ("Cyber Harpie Lady": 2100 → 2600 ATK / 1300 DEF).
- Summons another "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800 → 2300 ATK / 1300 DEF).
- Uses the "Cyber Harpie Lady" equipped with "Aero Nail" to attack & destroy Joey's "Cyber-Tech Alligator" (Joey: 3700 → 3600 Life Points).
- Uses the second "Cyber Harpie Lady" to attack Joey directly, but Joey activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Scapegoat", Special Summoning 4 "Sheep Tokens" (0 ATK / 0 each DEF) in Defense Position.
- Activates Trap Card "Nightmare Tri-Mirror", selecting "Cyber Harpie Lady" and Special Summoning 4 more copies of it to her side of the field (1800 → 2300 ATK / 1300 DEF). These monsters cannot attack.
- Uses the second "Cyber Harpie Lady" to attack & destroy one of Joey's "Sheep Tokens".
