Summary
The Big Bad Guy
It's 7:55AM and everyone is getting ready for school. Suddenly, a big student tells the people in front of him to not walk in front of him. One of the girls says it's Kujirada, someone who used to be quiet and shy. The other girl says his attitude has changed. He now has a lot of money, so things have gotten worse. Kujirada shoves a student into the school's trash. Noticing the student got dirty, he takes a few dollars out his pocket and tosses them to the ground laughing at him. Little does Kujirada know that there's someone nearby taking pictures of him.
Digital Pet´s Fever
At class, Honda is sad that Miho didn't show up for school while he slumps down into his seat. The teacher walks through the aisles and reads a passage from a textbook. Suddenly, he hears a beeping noise. Jonouchi frantically grabs a toy. On the toy's screen is a small creature, Jounouchi says he has to clean it. He pushes a few buttons to fix the problem. The teacher stands in front of Jounouchi's desk and asks what he's doing. Jounouchi explains about the new Digital Pet product. He's taking care of his pet! One takes care of their pet by feeding it and cleaning it. How the pet turns out in the end all depends on how well the person cared for it. A new feature is that two Digital Pets can be linked together and date. Jounouchi says it's really popular. The teacher hits Jounouchi and tells him to not do it during class.
After class Anzu asks Jounouchi why he didn't turn it off. Jounouchi says his pet won't grow if it's off, he wants to hurry and make his pet grow fast. Anzu says it takes time. She and Yugi take out their Digital Pet toys and play with it. Yugi says there will be a good outcome if one takes care of it properly. It's almost like raising a child! Jounouchi agrees. However, Honda has a different opinion, he thinks the Digital Pets are a complete waste of time. Anzu scolds Honda for saying that. Yugi insists the Digital Pets are fun, but Honda still disagrees. Jounouchi thinks Honda is mad because he couldn't get one. After all they are sold out everywhere. Honda firmly says he doesn't want to clean up after Digital Pets. Instead he wants to remain in reality and clean up actual trash.
Suddenly, Miho walks through the door and greets everyone. Honda's face turns red as he greets Miho. Anzu tells her second period is already over. Miho takes out her Digital Pet and says it's hard to take care of her while Honda goes crazy over it. Yugi is excited that Miho also has Digital Pet, she says she wants to go to Australia. Miho holds up a poster and says there's a pet competition this Sunday. The winner gets to go to Australia! Anzu thinks that's the reason why Jounouchi is so desperate. However, Miho is tired, she wonders if there's anyone who could help take care of her pet and win the Australian trip for a pair. Honda instantly grabs Miho's hands and pledges he will make her win. Miho is really happy now and Jounouchi asks Honda about what he said earlier. Honda says there's no difference between reality and the Digital world. Miho wishes Honda the best of luck.
Yugi runs over to Haiyama, another student, and asks if he's going to play with Digital Pets. Haiyama says he doesn't have one. Suddenly, Kujirada appears and tells Haiyama to come over. Haiyama, with a sad expression on his face, follows him into the bathroom. Yugi's heard bad things about Kujirada. He walks to the bathroom and slightly opens the door and sees Kujirada and Haiyama exchanging money with each other. Yugi is shocked to see this. He wonders if Haiyama is involved in a kickback! The bathroom door opens and Kujirada walks out, followed by Haiyama. Yugi calls out for Haiyama. He tries to ask Haiyama about what he saw. Haiyama tells Yugi to not tell anyone and he nods his head. Yugi then tells Haiyama to come and talk to him anytime, they are classmates after all. Haiyama thanks Yugi for his support. Then Yugi runs over to Haiyama and gives him something and tells him they should enter the contest together. Haiyama looks in his hand, it's a Digital Pet.
The Golden Pet, Devil Master
Homeroom soon begins. The teacher notices Honda missing and asks where he's at. One of the students gives the teacher a note from Honda. It says he's taking the day off to raise a child. The teacher gets angry, Jounouchi and Anzu can't believe it.
Honda is at his house working with Miho's Digital Pet. He plans to not take his eyes off the pet for a second until he wins Miho the prize. Honda thinks about the trip to Australia with Miho and accidentally drops the Digital Pet while imagining. He immediately picks it up, then he imagines Miho at the beach with her swimsuit on. Honda goes crazy over himself. Suddenly, the Digital Pet beeps and Honda gets back to work. Later Honda's mother scolds him for being up in the middle of the night. Honda tells her to leave him alone. His entire youth is at stake!
The next day after school, Yugi and the gang begin their way home. Jounouchi wonders what Honda is thinking, he hasn't been at school ever since. Miho is looking forward to the contest. Suddenly, they see a group of kids crowding around a store where there is a gold Digital Pet on display. Anzu asks what it is, Yugi says it's a limited edition Digital Pet; only one hundred copies were sold. An amazing pet can be raised with it. Jounouchi asks if there's no way you can lose the contest with it. Miho wants it. Yugi says it's 50,000 yen (the equivalent to $546 USD)! Jounouchi is shocked at the price. Suddenly, Kujirada appears and pushes the kids out of his way, he wants the gold pet for himself. He smashes the store window and takes the item. The store owner walks out with an angry face, Kujirada throws a bunch of money into the air and the store owner catches it all. Yugi thinks that's the money he took from Haiyama, Kujirada laughs and walks away. Jounouchi mentions Kujirada used to not even have lunch money. Anzu says Kujirada used to be a good kid, then he went wild. Miho wonders what happened.
Meanwhile, Haiyama is at his house uploading pictures of Kujirada from his camera into his computer. He prints out a colored photo of Kujirada and smiles.
The next day of school, Anzu states Honda has been absent for three days. Miho thinks he´s been watching over the Digital Pet this entire time. She's confident she will win the contest. The two girls then walk over to Yugi, who is feeding his pet some food. Yugi says he calls his pet U2. Anzu holds out her Digital Pet, Sumomo. Jounouchi then takes out his pet. He thinks the contest is going to his pet, Joe. Then he asks Yugi if they can do a data exchange, it will make both their pets grow. Yugi likes that idea, U2 is timid so having Joe's wild characteristic would be nice. Yugi and Jounouchi link their Digital Pets together. Both pets appear on the screen. They see Joe beating up U2. But once that's done, the data exchange is complete. Yugi hopes there's more growth to their pets. Jounouchi is excited for the Australia trip.
Suddenly, Kujirada appears. He thinks he's going to be the contest winner and he holds up his gold pet. Jounouchi doesn't think Kujirada will win just because he has a gold pet. There's no way someone like Kujirada could even raise one! Kujirada introduces his ultimate pet, Devil Master. Anzu doesn't think it has a good personality. Jounouchi is creeped out by the look of the pet. Kujirada swipes Anzu's Digital Pet from her hands and links the two pets together. Devil Master destroys Anzu's pet. Kujirada says Devil Master grows by eating other pets.
