Card Appearances:Meteor of Destruction

"Meteor of Destruction":

Anime

In Yu-Gi-Oh! episode 07777: "Friends 'Til the End, Part 3", Joey Wheeler draws this card during his Duel against Yugi Muto while the former was possessed by Marik Ishtar. Upon drawing this card, Marik intends to use this card to win the Duel. In the next episode, Marik ordered Joey to play this card, but Joey starts to remember his past and begins to resist Marik's control. When Marik uses force, Joey still refuses to place this card. Yugi then goads Marik into facing him himself as he was being a coward to use Joey to Duel him. Marik angrily then uses the full extent of his Rod to take complete control of Joey. Marik then had Joey activate this card, paying 500 Life Points to inflict 1000 damage to Yugi, but Joey's last fragment of free will and hope is strong enough to break free of the Rod's control and force Marik out of the Duel for good. Yugi then activates "Mystical Refpanel", but since he did not want to see Joey die, he used the effect of "Mystical Refpanel" to negate this card's effect and activate its effect as Joey's card, depleting his Life Points to 0. Joey then realizes the side effect of this card, so he uses the side effect to force "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" to attack directly, ending the Duel in a DRAW. With the help of Serenity Wheeler, Yugi and Joey were able to free themselves from their restraints before the anchor plunged them down completely into the water.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! episode 143143: "One for the Road", this card appears in a flashback Yugi has when he remembers winning Joey back from Marik's mind control and telling him they defeated Marik together.
