Keith's Machinations - Part 2, known as Travel Through Time! Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon in the Japanese version, is the thirty-second episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!. It aired in Japan on November 28, 2000, and in the US on September 7, 2002.

Summary

The second Duel of the Duelist Kingdom finals continues between Joey Wheeler and Bandit Keith. The Duel remains close until Keith Summons Barrel Dragon, a 2600 ATK monstrosity with the effect of being able to destroy up to three monsters in one attack. Not even Joey's Time Wizard/Baby Dragon combo can defeat it.

However, Joey turns the Duel around by using Copycat as Metalmorph, transforming his Red-Eyes Black Dragon into a Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon. It destroys Keith's Barrel Dragon, leaving just it and Keith's Slot Machine on the field. The Duel goes back and forth with each Duelist powering up his own monster while trying to destroy his opponent's. Keith uses The Pillager to take Joey's Shield & Sword, which makes Slot Machine's ATK greater than Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon. However, Joey activates Graverobber to take Time Machine from Keith's Graveyard, Special Summoning his Red-Eyes Metal Dragon back to the field with its ATK now higher than that of Slot Machine. Joey attacks and wins the Duel.

Keith demands the Duel be declared void since Joey used Mai's card. Joey admits this is true and asks how he could have known that. Pegasus, at this point declares that Keith stole Joey's card. Joey calls him a snake and Pegasus also says that Keith cheated by hiding two of his 7 Completed cards beneath his wrist band. Pegasus orders his guards to take Keith away, but Keith knocks them out cold, jumps towards Pegasus, and points a gun to his head (the gun is removed in the U.S. version), demanding the prize money. Pegasus activates a trap door, sending Keith through a tunnel and out into the ocean. With Joey the winner, he now has to face Yugi in the next Duel before the final match against Pegasus.

"Bandit" Keith's turn
Keith Sets 1 card then Normal Summons "Barrel Dragon" in Attack Position (2600 ATK / 2200 DEF). Each of its 3 revolvers have a 50% chance of attacking. If it succeeds, it will destroy 1 of Joey's monsters. Since 2 succeed; "Axe Raider" and "Garoozis" are destroyed (NOTE: In the real game 'Barrel Dragon' lets you toss a coin 3 times, if 2 of them are heads, 1 of your opponent's monsters will be destroyed). (Joey: 1150 → 850 Life Points).

Joey's turn
Joey Normal Summons "Baby Dragon" in Attack Position (1200 ATK / 700 DEF) then treats "Time Wizard" as a Magic Card instead of a Monster Card. He activates Time Wizard's effect. Since it is successful, it transforms "Baby Dragon" into "Thousand Dragon" (2400 ATK / 2000 DEF) and decreasing "Barrel Dragon's" ATK to 1800 (instead of destroying it). "Thousand Dragon" attacks then destroys "Barrel Dragon", but Keith activates "Time Machine" to negate the Battle Damage then Special Summons "Barrel Dragon" in Attack Position.

He then Normal Summons "Blast Sphere" (2900 ATK / 1400 DEF) then equips it to "Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon". At the end of the turn, it will self-destruct; destroying "Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon" then inflicting damage equal to its ATK to Joey's Life Points. Keith ends his turn, but Joey equips "Dragon Nails" to "Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon" ("Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon" 2800 → 3400 ATK); making it stronger than "Blast Sphere" (Keith 900 → 400 Life Points).

Differences In Adaptations

• A shot of Bandit Keith spitting is cut from the US version.
• The Pillager has been given a slight redesign in the US version.
• When Keith demands Pegasus for the prize money, in the Japanese Bandit Keith has a gun and threatens to kill Pegasus, while in the US version, the gun is removed, leaving Keith pointing menacingly at Pegasus.
• Barrel Dragon is redesigned in the US version to turn its revolver-like gun barrels into a "laser discharge system.
• Cut from the US version is a shot from inside one of the Barrel Dragon's gun barrels of a round settling into place.

Errors

• When Baby Dragon evolves into Thousand Dragon, its defense points are shown increasing to 2500 instead of the usual 2000.
• In the Dub, when Joey uses Time Machine, he says that his Red-Eyes' ATK is higher than Keith's defense. This is probably because of Shield & Sword being played.
