[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] and [[Valon]]'s Duel continues after Valon counters Joey's finishing blow, while [[Yami Yugi]] and the others continue to search for him. Joey and Valon congratulate each other as worthy opponents as the Duel of Armor reaches its conclusion.
 
  
 
==Summary==
 
==Summary==
−
[[Yami Yugi]], [[Téa]] and [[Tristan]] are still trying to navigate the city, and the map says [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] should be nearby. Yami is lost in thought, remembering that his "[[The Eye of Timaeus (anime)|Timaeus]]" card had glowed when Joey used "[[Claw of Hermos|Hermos]]", but it stopped reacting some time ago. They consider what that might mean about his condition, and he insists that they must find him soon.  
+
* [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and his friends are having a small holiday to rest after the intense few days of the Doma Arc.  
  
−
At that moment, Joey and [[Valon]] are both bruised and gasping for breath, down to only a handful of Life Points each. Joey remarks that he thought he'd had Valon beat with his most recent attack. Valon replies by complimenting Joey as the most tenacious opponent he's ever faced. [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] listens to this, wondering how such a fierce Duel could still have both of them insistent to keep going. Her desire to fight returns, and the Seal appears on her forehead before she winces, suppressing it.
+
* Yami Yugi has finally recovered the God Cards and is eager to open up his World of Memories.  
  
−
Joey pays half his Life Points to maintain the "Aura Armor", and he places two face-down cards to finish his turn. With Valon's turn, he draws "[[Phoenix Gravitation]]", which lets him Summon a new suit of Armor monsters from his [[Graveyard]]. All at once, he is armed with his strongest weapons. He compliments Joey on getting so far, but it's because of this strength that he must fight back with all his power. Joey agrees, but clarifies that Valon will be the one defeated. He uses both his Face-Downs to put into play a chosen card from Valon's Graveyard and a random one from his own. The one he chooses from Valon is "[[Big Bang Blow (anime)|Big Bang Blow]]", and for his own, he closes his eyes in preparation to Draw. Both Duelists have one card in mind, and after a silent wish, Joey picks and holds the card high.
+
* Rebecca continues to make her affections for Yugi evident, making [[Téa Gardner|Téa]] mad.
  
−
This card is "[[Claw of Hermos|the Claw of Hermos]]", to Joey's elation and Valon's amazement. Joey immediately fuses his two new cards to create "[[Big Bang Dragon Blow]]", commenting that this time, he will be the one using Valon's weapon. Valon laughs, affirming that this is the Duel he's wanted, one to push him to the limits. The time has come for the last attack, which Joey confirms. Both Duelists lunge at each other, fists colliding precisely in an explosion so strong the shockwave knocks Mai off her feet.  
+
* During breakfast, [[Arthur Hawkins|Professor Hawkins]] receives a phone call and attends to it. The contents of it will be revealed [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 187|two episodes later]].
  
−
From several blocks away, Téa stops running, signaling the others to look. A spiraling white column of light is blasting up to the sky, and Yami sees Timaeus glow once again.
+
* Duke Devlin asks the group when they're going back to Japan and if they have the plane tickets. The group realizes something: they don't have the plane tickets nor the money to buy them since [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]] invited them and provided transport without any payment during Season 4.
  
−
At the very center of the energy storm, Joey and Valon struggle for for the upper hand. Both are happy even as they fight, and outside, Mai gets back to her feet and says the duel it look a draw. All of a sudden, Joey gets the advantage by activating the effect of "[[Big Bang Dragon Blow]]": by sacrificing his "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon (later anime)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]", he is able to Destroy all of Valon's monsters and then inflict damage to Valon equal to the total ATK of those Monsters. The power of Joey's Attack gathers, and with one final yell, Joey sends Valon flying back, all of Valon's armor breaking apart even as he brakes himself to a standing stop. The rest of his Life Points drop to zero, and he admits defeat, dropping to one knee. He turns to Mai, who is very shaken by the outcome, and he tells her not to look like that. No matter who she's thinking of, he believes they'll come back together in the end. Even though she saw the awful side of him and he still lost, he has no regrets. She moves closer to him, stepping within inches of the border. Valon then turns to Jounouchi and leaves Mai in his care. Just after Joey nods to this, Valon slumps to his side, and Mai calls out his name. But he's already unconscious, and the Seal closes in on him, beaming to the sky before leaving his body.  
+
* At that moment, [[Mokuba Kaiba]] arrives by helicopter, and agrees to take them back to Japan if they participate in the KC Grand Prix. After Doma's attack on [[Seto Kaiba]]'s [[KaibaCorp]], Kaiba is throwing a tournament, inviting the top world duelists to hype the opening of [[Kaiba Land|Kaiba Land America]]. [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]], [[Joey]] and [[Rebecca Hawkins]] sign up. Mokuba informs them that Kaiba, too busy with work, will not be in the tournament: he has a lot of work to do regarding recovering the public's trust.
  
−
Within [[Dartz]]'s temple, a new tablet appears with the image of Valon, crouching and quiescent. He announces that Mai is next, sounding sure of it so he can revive the [[The Great Leviathan|Great Leviathan]]. He challenges her to show him her heart's darkness.
+
* Somewhere in Europe, a man lives a luxurious lifestyle inside of a German-style castle. He is notified of an important mail and referred to as "Zigfried." He attends to his PC, which has a logo on its screen: Schroeder.  
  
−
Mai bends down and hugs Valon's body, crying and whispering his name. She remembers him telling her how he was like her, unable to live without winning. But then he found someone he could share his victories with - her. Her eyes clear up, and she regains her breath, setting him down as Joey calls her name.  
+
* The man reads the KC Grand Prix website and smugly questions Kaiba's photo if the thinks this event will help to revive Kaiba Corporation from its near-dead status. He hits Kaiba's photo with a rose, making its petals fly out while he chuckles: he obviously aims to sabotage the KC Grand Prix.  
  
−
She calls him stupid for talking about Duels like they can be shared, when they're really for oneself. But when she grins and adds that that's why Valon lost, Joey insists that Valon gave his best for that fight. Mai notes his emotion and turns to him, the Seal glowing briefly on her forehead as she asks, "Isn't Valon an enemy?" Joey confirms it, but says he respects people who fight with all they have. She only smirks at him, and he challenges her to a Duel. He realizes that's the only way to reach her feelings, and he encourages her to Duel with no holding back from either of them. With Valon's body set aside, the two prepare their Duel.  
+
*[[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] takes [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and his friends on a tour of [[Kaiba Land]].  
  
−
Yami and the others continue in Joey's direction, guided by Yami's intuition from "Timaeus". [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] and [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] remark that there's no one around them, and Kaiba's hunch that Doma is responsible is confirmed when ranks of Orichalcos Soldiers appear before them.  
+
* During the visit, Joey asks if [[Mai Valentine]] has been invited to the tournament: Mokuba admits that they'd considered doing so, but have been unable to contact her or find out her current whereabouts. Joey looks down, but the others cheer him up.
  
−
Mai begins the Duel, and Joey struggles in his response, still feeling the injuries from the previous Duel. His turn is a simple one, which Mai thinks about and realizes is unlike him. But he assures her he's not holding back. He now understands that, in his Duel with Valon, they talked a lot, and not just with words.  
+
* They visit the "Blue-Eyes Dome" for the [[Grand Championship]] tournament, coming across the new [[KaibaCorp]] Duel Computer (unnamed in the Japanese anime).  
  
−
In doing so, Joey sensed Valon's heart, and that's why he also wants a serious Duel with her. He hopes that she'll understand him by the end of it, and he wants to understand her, too. Speechless for a moment, she laughs at the idea he could understand her, who keeps Dueling just to win. He answers that he doesn't understand that at first, but even so, he's doesn't want to give up.
+
*The first [[Duel]] features the Duel Machine vs. a child (unnamed in the Japanese anime). It proceeds without any glitches and the machine wins by using a combo to Summon none other than the "[[Five-Headed Dragon|Five God Dragon]]"! Its tactics are indeed very high-level! Mokuba explains that it includes data from several Duelists, Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey included.
  
−
Her response is to keep going, and their Duel becomes a fight to keep a monster in play. Joey gains the upper hand with a high-level monster "[[Cyber-Tech Alligator (anime)|Cyber-Tech Alligator]]", but when Mai plays "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]", it affirms the drive to win in her heart and puts her monsters back in the lead. As a final defense, Joey uses "[[Scapegoat (later anime)|Scapegoat]]", but Mai is fully prepared for this move with her "[[Nightmare Tri-Mirror]]" trap, flooding her field with high-powered "Harpies". Joey is still hardly closer to reaching through the feelings in her heart, and he has only one turn to prepare for the attack she is still eager to unleash.
+
* Tristan makes a joke about the computer relying on luck and Joey struggles with him, clearly mad.  
  
−
==Featured Duels==
+
* The children gathered there notice and recognize both Yugi and Rebecca. They start to surround them, awed. Joey asks if they know him and they reply that they don't. Joey lets out a string of curses towards Kaiba: yet again he tried to make it look like Joey is a no-one even though he was one of the Top 4 from the [[Battle City Finals]]!
−
===Featured Duel #1: Joey Wheeler vs. Valon - Part 4===
 
  
−
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 171|Duel continues from previous episode.]]''
+
* One boy, [[Rick]], approaches Yugi and Rebecca and asks them if they can find out what's wrong with his [[Main Deck|Deck]]: he's always losing. Both champions see that it's almost practically filled with [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Normal Monster]]s with only one or two [[Effect Monster]]s and virtually no magic or trap cards. The balance is bad, Rebecca argues. Yugi gives the boy a Card (revealed in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 186|the next episode]]) which will help him.
  
−
Joey has 200 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining and controls "Player Token" (200/200) and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" (2400/2000) in Attack Position.
+
*The second Duel is about to start, featuring Rick, but [[Zigfried von Schroeder|the mystery man]] remotely uses his computer system to hack into the Duel Computer and lock everyone inside the Blue-Eyes Dome: it's his way of "alternating real greetings".  
  
−
Valon has 900 Life Points remaining and controls "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]".
+
*Rebecca uses her laptop to check and determines that the only way to get out is by defeating the computer, which has been changed from the Level 2 [[Rick]] had set it at all the way to its maximum setting, Level 5. Since he is only a beginner, he lets [[Yami Yugi]] take over for him, but since [[Rick|Rick's]] [[Main Deck|Deck]] was already set, [[Yami Yugi]] has to use it.

<u>'''Turn 15: Joey'''</u><br />

==Featured Duels==
−
[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]]'s "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon (later anime)|Red-Eyes B. Dragon]]" and "[[Player Token]]" have been summoned from the Graveyard to his side of the field via [[Valon]]'s "[[Extinction Fist]]". Since "[[Player Token]]" of "[[Aura Armor]]" was [[Special Summon]]ed, Joey must pay half his Life Points (Joey 200 → 100). Joey Sets two Cards.

Valon draws "Phoenix Gravitation". On Valon's Standby Phase, he activates the second effect of "[[Psychic Armor Head (anime)|Psychic Armor Head]]" to [[Special Summon]] the latter (0 → 500/500) from the [[Graveyard]] in Attack Position. Valon then activates "[[Phoenix Gravitation]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Burning Knuckle (anime)|Burning Knuckle]]" (0 → 500/1000), "[[Jet Gauntlet (anime)|Jet Gauntlet]]" (0 → 500/1500), "[[Over Boost (anime)|Over Boost]]" (0 → 500/1000), and "[[Active Guard (anime)|Active Guard]]" (0 → 500/2500) from his [[Graveyard]] in Attack Position.

Joey activates his face-down "[[Graverobber (anime)|Graverobber]]" to steal "[[Big Bang Blow (anime)|Big Bang Blow]]" from Valon's [[Graveyard]] and [[Special Summon]] it to his side of the field (0/0) in Attack Position. Joey then activates his face-down "[[Take One Chance]]" to select one random card from his Graveyard and Special Summon/Activate that card immediately. The card randomly selected from his [[Graveyard]] is "[[Claw of Hermos|The Claw of Hermos]]". As per the effect of "Take One Chance", Joey activates "Claw of Hermos" to merge the latter card with "Big Bang Blow" and form "[[Big Bang Dragon Blow]]", which Joey equips to "Player Token".  
+
<u>'''Turn ?: Luke'''</u><br />
 +
"[[Gagagigo (anime)|Gagagigo]]" (1850/1000) [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "[[Blade Knight (anime)|Blade Knight]]" (1600/1000). (NOTE: Since KC DuelTek 760's [[Life Points]] do not decrease, it's presumed "[[Blade Knight (anime)|Blade Knight]]" was in [[Defense Position]]). The KC DuelTek 760 then [[activate]]s its face-down "[[Scapegoat (later anime)|Scapegoat]]" to [[Special Summon]] four "[[Sheep Token (anime)|Sheep Tokens]]" (0/0 for all) in [[Defense Position]].
  
−
"Burning Knuckle" attacks Joey's "Player Token", but Joey activates the effect of "Big Bang Dragon Blow" to destroy Valon's Monsters and inflict damage to Valon equal to the combined [[ATK]] of his destroyed monsters (Valon's "Active Guard" is thereby destroyed ''before'' damage is dealt, and thus can't be used as Damage prevention) by sacrificing his "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", ([[Valon]] 900 → 0).
+
<u>'''Turn ?: KC DuelTek 760'''</u><br />
 +
KC DuelTek 760 draws. It then [[activate]]s its face-down "[[DNA Surgery (anime)|DNA Surgery]]" and declares [[Dragon]] for its effect. Now all face-up [[Monster]]s on the [[field]] will become the declared type as long as "DNA Surgery" is face-up. The KC DuelTek then [[activate]]s "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" to fuse its four "Sheep Tokens" and "Battle Ox" together and Fusion Summon "[[Five-Headed Dragon (later anime)|Five-Headed Dragon]]" (5000/5000) in [[Attack Position]]. "Five-Headed Dragon" attacks and destroys "Gagagigo" (Luke 2800 → 0).

+
KC DuelTek 760 draws. It then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Berserk Gorilla (anime)|Berserk Gorilla]]" (2000/1000) in [[Attack Position]]. Due to this card's effect, it will be destroyed if it's in face-up Defense Position and it must attack if possible. The KC DuelTek then [[Set]]s a Card. At this point, [[Yami Yugi|Yugi]] steps in for [[Rick]]. The [[Main Deck|Deck]] remains [[Rick]]'s however.
  
−
<u>'''Turn 2: Joey'''</u><br />
+
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 186|Duel concludes next episode.]]''
−
Joey draws "[[Gilford the Lightning (anime)|Gilford the Lightning]]". Aside from "Gilford the Lightning", Joey's hand contains "Blue Flame Swordsman", "[[Scapegoat (later anime)|Scapegoat]]", "[[Swordsman of Landstar (anime)|Swordsman of Landstar]]", "[[Vow of Tribe]]", and "[[Dark Dragon Ritual (anime)|Dark Dragon Ritual]]". Joey then Normal Summons "[[Blue Flame Swordsman (anime)|Blue Flame Swordsman]]" (1800/1600) in [[Attack Position]].
 
  
−
<u>'''Turn 3: Mai'''</u><br />
+
==Differences in adaptations==
−
Mai draws another "Cyber Harpie" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1800/1300) in [[Attack Position]]. Mai's hand contains "Cyber Harpie Lady", "Aero Nail", "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]", "[[Amazoness Spellcaster (anime)|Amazoness Spellcaster]]", and "[[Nighmare Tri-Mirror]]". Mai then activates "[[Aero Nail]]", equipping it to one of her "Cyber Harpie Ladies" and increasing its [[ATK]] by 300 ("[[Cyber Harpie (anime)|Cyber Harpie]]": 1800 → 2100/1300).  
+
* At the beginning of the episode, cut from the dub is a shot of a fish jumping in a lake.
  
−
The "Cyber Harpie" equipped with "Aero Nail" attacks & destroys Joey's "Blue Flame Swordsman" ([[Joey]] 4000 → 3700). Since "Blue Flame Swordsman" was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Joey activates its second effect to Special Summon "[[Flame Swordsman (anime)|Flame Swordsman]]" (1800/1600) in [[Attack Position]] (NOTE: in the anime, "Flame Swordsman" is not a [[Fusion Monster]]). Mai Sets a Card.
+
* In the dub, [[Kaiba]]'s computer screen is changed to a screen showing duel Monster Cards and their stats rather than graphs and charts as it shows in the Japanese.
  
−
<u>'''Turn 4: Joey'''</u><br />
+
* When the computer summons "[[Five-Headed Dragon (later anime)|Five-Headed Dragon]], cut is a shot of the unidentified boy's friends watching.
−
Joey draws "Cyber-Tech Alligator". He then Tributes "Flame Swordsman" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Cyber-Tech Alligator (anime)|Cyber-Tech Alligator]]" (2500/1600) in Attack Position. "Cyber-Tech Alligator" attacks & destroys the "Cyber Harpie" equipped with "[[Aero Nail]]" ([[Mai Valentine|Mai]] 4000 → 3600). Since "Aero Nail" is about to be sent from the field to the Graveyard, Mai activates the second effect of "Aero Nail" to equip the latter card to her other "Cyber Harpie" instead of sending it to the Graveyard ("Cyber Harpie": 1800 → 2100/1300). Joey then Sets a Card.
 
  
−
<u>'''Turn 5: Mai'''</u><br />
+
* Cut from the English Version are interior shots of the castle, where a woman plays a harp while Zigfried lounges in his bath. A servant, addressing the bathing Zigfried as "Sieg-sama," comes to tell him he's received new mail. Zigfried gets up from his bath, puts on a robe, and walking toward the edge of the bath.
−
Mai draws "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" and subsequently activates it. From now on, all of Mai's Monsters will receive a 500 [[ATK]] boost and the loser of this Duel will lose his/her soul ("Cyber Harpie": 2100 → 2600/1300). Mai then Normal Summons another "Cyber Harpie" (1800 → 2300/1300) in Attack Position.  
 
  
−
The "Cyber Harpie" equipped with "Aero Nail" attacks & destroys Joey's "Cyber-Tech Alligator" ([[Joey]] 3700 → 3600). The second "Cyber Harpie" attacks directly, but Joey activates his face-down "Scapegoat" to [[Special Summon]] four "[[Sheep Token (anime)|Sheep Tokens]]" (0/0 for each) in [[Defense Position]]. Mai then activates her face-down "[[Nighmare Tri-Mirror]]" to select "Cyber Harpie" and [[Special Summon]] four "[[Copy Token]]s" (as Joey Special Summoned four monsters) that have the same stats and effects as "Cyber Harpie" to her side of the Field (1800 → 2300/1300 for all) in Attack Position. These Tokens cannot attack this turn. A replay occurs and Mai uses her second "Cyber Harpie" to attack & destroy one of Joey's "Sheep Tokens".
+
* On the screen where it shows the Duel status, the word 'COM' is replaced by a picture of the dueling computer in the English version.
  
−
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 173|Duel concludes next episode.]]''
+
* Cut from the English version, is a brief scene in which Tea is jealous of the attention Rebecca is giving to Yugi with her wanting to spend time with him, thus she imagines an image of herself and Yami Yugi being happy together. Shortly after this, Tea blushes in embarrassment at that thought.
  
−
==Errors==
+
==Mistakes==
−
Even though Joey's "Cyber-Tech Alligator" destroyed one of Mai's Cyber Harpie Ladies, after Joey tells Mai to give him her best shot, her duel disk still has the destroyed "Cyber Harpie ".
+
When [[Yugi]] looks at [[Rick]]'s Deck, the last two Cards shown are "[[Gil Garth]]" and "[[Newdoria]]". Then, in the next scenes of them, it shows "[[The Dragon Dwelling in the Cave (anime)|Cave Dwelling Dragon]]" and "[[Petit Dragon (anime)|Petit Dragon]]" instead of those two, which is what the Cards should be. Also, "Newdoria" is shown to be a [[Normal Monster]], when it is actually an [[Effect Monster]].
 +
(Dub mistake.)
  
−
When Mai activates "Nightmare Tri-Mirror", her belly button disappears.
+
==Trivia==
 +
*Zigfried makes a reference to the Poison song "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".
 +
*Joey notes that the problem with Rick's deck is that it contains only monster cards.  Ironically, this was the same problem Joey's original deck had at the start of the series.
 +
*When Joey had said "I get no respect I tell ya" this was a reference to the former comedian rodney dangerfield

Summary

  • Yugi and his friends are having a small holiday to rest after the intense few days of the Doma Arc.
  • Yami Yugi has finally recovered the God Cards and is eager to open up his World of Memories.
  • Rebecca continues to make her affections for Yugi evident, making Téa mad.
  • Duke Devlin asks the group when they're going back to Japan and if they have the plane tickets. The group realizes something: they don't have the plane tickets nor the money to buy them since Pegasus invited them and provided transport without any payment during Season 4.
  • At that moment, Mokuba Kaiba arrives by helicopter, and agrees to take them back to Japan if they participate in the KC Grand Prix. After Doma's attack on Seto Kaiba's KaibaCorp, Kaiba is throwing a tournament, inviting the top world duelists to hype the opening of Kaiba Land America. Yugi, Joey and Rebecca Hawkins sign up. Mokuba informs them that Kaiba, too busy with work, will not be in the tournament: he has a lot of work to do regarding recovering the public's trust.
  • Somewhere in Europe, a man lives a luxurious lifestyle inside of a German-style castle. He is notified of an important mail and referred to as "Zigfried." He attends to his PC, which has a logo on its screen: Schroeder.
  • The man reads the KC Grand Prix website and smugly questions Kaiba's photo if the thinks this event will help to revive Kaiba Corporation from its near-dead status. He hits Kaiba's photo with a rose, making its petals fly out while he chuckles: he obviously aims to sabotage the KC Grand Prix.
  • During the visit, Joey asks if Mai Valentine has been invited to the tournament: Mokuba admits that they'd considered doing so, but have been unable to contact her or find out her current whereabouts. Joey looks down, but the others cheer him up.
  • They visit the "Blue-Eyes Dome" for the Grand Championship tournament, coming across the new KaibaCorp Duel Computer (unnamed in the Japanese anime).
  • The first Duel features the Duel Machine vs. a child (unnamed in the Japanese anime). It proceeds without any glitches and the machine wins by using a combo to Summon none other than the "Five God Dragon"! Its tactics are indeed very high-level! Mokuba explains that it includes data from several Duelists, Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey included.
  • Tristan makes a joke about the computer relying on luck and Joey struggles with him, clearly mad.
  • The children gathered there notice and recognize both Yugi and Rebecca. They start to surround them, awed. Joey asks if they know him and they reply that they don't. Joey lets out a string of curses towards Kaiba: yet again he tried to make it look like Joey is a no-one even though he was one of the Top 4 from the Battle City Finals!
  • One boy, Rick, approaches Yugi and Rebecca and asks them if they can find out what's wrong with his Deck: he's always losing. Both champions see that it's almost practically filled with Dragon-Type Normal Monsters with only one or two Effect Monsters and virtually no magic or trap cards. The balance is bad, Rebecca argues. Yugi gives the boy a Card (revealed in the next episode) which will help him.
  • The second Duel is about to start, featuring Rick, but the mystery man remotely uses his computer system to hack into the Duel Computer and lock everyone inside the Blue-Eyes Dome: it's his way of "alternating real greetings".
  • Rebecca uses her laptop to check and determines that the only way to get out is by defeating the computer, which has been changed from the Level 2 Rick had set it at all the way to its maximum setting, Level 5. Since he is only a beginner, he lets Yami Yugi take over for him, but since Rick's Deck was already set, Yami Yugi has to use it.

Featured Duels

Featured Duel #1: KC DuelTek 760 VS. Luke

(Duel already in progress) KC DuelTek 760 Luke
3150 LP 2800 LP
"Blade Knight", "Battle Ox" "Gagagigo"
Two face-down cards no face-down cards

Turn ?: Luke
"Gagagigo" (1850/1000) attacks and destroys "Blade Knight" (1600/1000). (NOTE: Since KC DuelTek 760's Life Points do not decrease, it's presumed "Blade Knight" was in Defense Position). The KC DuelTek 760 then activates its face-down "Scapegoat" to Special Summon four "Sheep Tokens" (0/0 for all) in Defense Position.

Turn ?: KC DuelTek 760
KC DuelTek 760 draws. It then activates its face-down "DNA Surgery" and declares Dragon for its effect. Now all face-up Monsters on the field will become the declared type as long as "DNA Surgery" is face-up. The KC DuelTek then activates "Polymerization" to fuse its four "Sheep Tokens" and "Battle Ox" together and Fusion Summon "Five-Headed Dragon" (5000/5000) in Attack Position. "Five-Headed Dragon" attacks and destroys "Gagagigo" (Luke 2800 → 0).

Featured Duel #2: Rick/Yami Yugi vs. KC DuelTek 760

Turn 1: KC DuelTek 760
KC DuelTek 760 draws. It then Normal Summons "Berserk Gorilla" (2000/1000) in Attack Position. Due to this card's effect, it will be destroyed if it's in face-up Defense Position and it must attack if possible. The KC DuelTek then Sets a Card. At this point, Yugi steps in for Rick. The Deck remains Rick's however.

Duel concludes next episode.

Differences in adaptations

  • At the beginning of the episode, cut from the dub is a shot of a fish jumping in a lake.
  • In the dub, Kaiba's computer screen is changed to a screen showing duel Monster Cards and their stats rather than graphs and charts as it shows in the Japanese.
  • When the computer summons "Five-Headed Dragon, cut is a shot of the unidentified boy's friends watching.
  • Cut from the English Version are interior shots of the castle, where a woman plays a harp while Zigfried lounges in his bath. A servant, addressing the bathing Zigfried as "Sieg-sama," comes to tell him he's received new mail. Zigfried gets up from his bath, puts on a robe, and walking toward the edge of the bath.
  • On the screen where it shows the Duel status, the word 'COM' is replaced by a picture of the dueling computer in the English version.
  • Cut from the English version, is a brief scene in which Tea is jealous of the attention Rebecca is giving to Yugi with her wanting to spend time with him, thus she imagines an image of herself and Yami Yugi being happy together. Shortly after this, Tea blushes in embarrassment at that thought.

Mistakes

When Yugi looks at Rick's Deck, the last two Cards shown are "Gil Garth" and "Newdoria". Then, in the next scenes of them, it shows "Cave Dwelling Dragon" and "Petit Dragon" instead of those two, which is what the Cards should be. Also, "Newdoria" is shown to be a Normal Monster, when it is actually an Effect Monster. (Dub mistake.)

Trivia

  • Zigfried makes a reference to the Poison song "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".
  • Joey notes that the problem with Rick's deck is that it contains only monster cards. Ironically, this was the same problem Joey's original deck had at the start of the series.
  • When Joey had said "I get no respect I tell ya" this was a reference to the former comedian rodney dangerfield
