Biography

Joey and Yugi Muto visited the player the day of the Battle City tournament. Having spent the night working on his own Deck and being satisfied with the result, Joey asked if the player had done the same. The trio then went to the Clock Tower Square for the commencement of the tournament. Shortly before it began, Joey declared the three friends to be rivals from that point and asked them not to lose until the finals.

Joey, controlled by Marik

Some time into the tournament, Joey and Tea Gardner were kidnapped by the Ghouls and brainwashed by Marik Ishtar. When Mai Valentine learned of the kidnapping she suggested that Yugi and the player go to Seto Kaiba, who should be able to locate Joey using the transponder built into his Duel Disk. Although Kaiba was not interested in helping Joey, he agreed to help due to his dislike of the Ghouls and located Joey at Domino Pier.

Under the influence of Marik's mind control, Joey challenged Yugi to a Duel at the pier, where the loser would be dragged into the ocean by an anchor. Tea's life was put in danger to force Yugi into accepting. Unable to bring himself to beat his friend like this, Yugi lost the Duel, but was saved from drowning to the player. Yugi then made a plea to Joey, reminding him of their promise to meet in the finals and managed to break him free from Marik's influence. Joey then apologized for his actions and vowed to face Marik in the finals.
