Joey has 1200 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining and controls one set card ("[[Bottomless Trap Hole (anime)|Bottomless Trap Hole]]").
  
<u>'''Joey's turn'''</u><br />

Johnson has 1000 Life Points remaining and controls "Kamionwizard" (1300/1100) in Attack Position and "Sinister Justice".
[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Panther Warrior]]" in [[Attack Position]] (2000 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]) [[Set]]s 1 card.
 
  
<u>'''Johnson's turn'''</u><br />

<u>'''Turn 8: Joey'''</u><br />
[[Johnson]] [[activate]]s his [[set]] [[Continuous Spell Cards|Continuous Magic Card]] "[[Leading Question]]": when a [[Level 4 Monster Cards|Level 4]] or lower [[Fusion Monsters|Fusion Monster]] [[attack]]s, its [[Card effect|effect]] increases that [[Monster Cards|monster]]'s [[ATK]] by 800 during the [[Damage Step]]. Joey activates "[[Skull Dice]]" to decrease the [[ATK]] of "[[Kamionwizard]]" by dividing its [[ATK]] by the die roll result. [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] rolls a six, but Johnson cheats and changes it to a 1; leaving "[[Kamionwizard]]" with the same [[ATK]]. "[[Kamionwizard]]" [[attack]]s "[[Panther Warrior]]". After gaining 800 [[ATK]] via "[[Leading Question]]'s" [[Card effect|effect]] ([[Kamionwizard]]: 1300 → 2100 [[ATK]]), "[[Kamionwizard]]" [[destroy]]s "[[Panther Warrior]]" ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]]: 1200 → 1100 [[Life Points]]). [[Sinister Justice|Sinister Justice's]] [[Card effect|effect]] increases [[Johnson]]'s [[Life Points]] ([[Johnson]]: 1000 → 1800 [[Life Points]]).
+
[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[draw a card|draws]] "[[Skull Dice (anime)|Skull Dice]]", while his [[hand]] contains "[[Panther Warrior (anime)|Panther Warrior]]", "[[Swordsman of Landstar (anime)|Swordsman of Landstar]]", "[[Gamble (anime)|Gamble]]" and "[[Scapegoat (later anime)|Scapegoat]]". Joey [[Normal Summon]]s "Panther Warrior" (2000/1600) in [[Attack Position]] and [[Set]]s a card.
  
<u>'''Joey's turn'''</u><br />
+
<u>'''Turn 9: Johnson'''</u><br />
[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]" in [[Attack Position]] (500 [[ATK]] / 1200 [[DEF]]) then [[activate]]s "[[Graceful Dice]]" to multiply "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]'s" [[ATK]] by the roll of the die. [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] rolls a 6, but, once again, [[Johnson]] cheats and changes the roll to a one. "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]'s" [[ATK]] remains the same. [[Johnson]] [[activate]]s [[Judge Man]]'s [[Deck Master Abilities|deck master's ability]]. He [[Cost|pays]] 1000 [[Life Points]] ([[Johnson]]: 1800 800 [[Life Points]]) to [[destroy]] every [[Monster Cards|monster]] [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[control]]s. Then, it inflicts 500 points of damage to [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]]'s [[Life Points]] for each [[destroy]]ed [[Monster Cards|monster]] ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]]: 1100 → 600 [[Life Points]]). [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[Set]]s 2 cards.
+
[[Johnson]] draws "Reinforcement of the Army", while his hand contains "[[Quick Attack]]", "[[De-Fusion (anime)|De-Fusion]]" and "[[Painful Choice (anime)|Painful Choice]]". He [[activate]]s his face-down "[[Leading Question]]", which will increase the [[ATK]] of [[attack]]ing [[Level]] 4 or lower [[Fusion Monster]]s by 800 during the [[Damage Step]] only. "[[Kamionwizard (anime)|Kamionwizard]]" attacks "Panther Warrior". The effect of "Leading Question" activates ("Kamionwizard": 1300 2100/1100). Joey activates his [[face-down]] "Skull Dice" to roll a die and divide the ATK of "Kamionwizard" by the die result. Joey gets a six, but Johnson cheats and changes it to a one. "Kamionwizard" then [[destroy]]s "Panther Warrior" (Joey 1200 → 1100). The effect of "[[Sinister Justice]]" activates (Johnson 1000 → 1800). At the end of the Damage Step, the effect of "Leading Question" expires ("Kamionwizard": 2100 → 1300/1100).
  
<u>'''Johnson's turn'''</u><br />
+
<u>'''Turn 10: Joey'''</u><br />
[[Johnson]] [[activate]]s "[[Pot of Greed]]" to [[Draw a card|draw]] 2 cards. Since [[Johnson]] has 6 cards in his [[hand]] while [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] has none in his [[hand]], [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[activate]]s "[[Gamble]]". [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] declares heads or tails. If he calls right, he can [[Draw a card|draw]] 5 cards. If he calls wrong, he has to skip his next [[turn]]. [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] guesses the correct result, but [[Johnson]] changes the result; resulting with [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] skipping his next [[turn]]. [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[activate]]s "[[Scapegoat]]" to [[Special Summon]] 4 [[Sheep Token]]s in [[Defense Position]] (0 [[ATK]] / 0 [[DEF]]). [[Johnson]] [[activate]]s "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" to put 1 [[Level 4 Monster Cards|Level 4]] or lower [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Cards|monster]] from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to his [[hand]]. [[Johnson]] [[select]]s "[[Armaill]]". After putting "[[Armaill]]" from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] into his hand, he [[activate]]s "[[Polymerization]]"; sending "[[Armaill]]" and "[[One-Eyed Shield Dragon]]" from his [[hand]] to his [[Graveyard]] to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]" in [[Attack Position]] (1200 [[ATK]] / 900 [[DEF]]). "[[Kamionwizard]]" [[attack]]s a "[[Sheep Token]]".  After gaining 800 [[ATK]] via "[[Leading Question]]'s" [[Card effect|effect]] ("[[Kamionwizard]]": 1300 → 2100 [[ATK]]), "[[Kamionwizard]]" [[destroy]]s that [[Sheep Token]]. "[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]" [[attack]]s another "[[Sheep Token]]". After gaining 800 [[ATK]] via "[[Leading Question]]'s" [[Card effect|effect]] ("[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]": 1200 2000 [[ATK]]), "[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]" [[destroy]]s that [[Sheep Token]].
+
Joey draws "[[Graceful Dice (anime)|Graceful Dice]]". He Normal Summons "Swordsman of Landstar" (500/1200) in Attack Position. He then activates "Graceful Dice" to roll a die and multiply the ATK of "Swordsman of Landstar by the die result. Joey gets a six, but once again, Johnson cheats and changes the result to a one. Johnson activates the [[Deck Master ability]] of "[[Judge Man (anime)|Judge Man]]" to [[pay]] 1000 Life Points (Johnson 1800 → 800) and destroy all monsters Joey controls as well as inflict 500 damage to Joey for each destroyed monster (Joey 1100 600). Joey Sets two cards.
  
<u>'''Johnson's turn'''</u><br />
+
<u>'''Turn 11: Johnson'''</u><br />
''(Due to "[[Gamble]]'s" effect, [[Joey Wheeler|Joey's]] [[turn]] is skipped.)'' "[[Kamionwizard]]" [[attack]]s another "[[Sheep Token]]".  After gaining 800 [[ATK]] via [[Leading Question]]'s [[Card effect|effect]] ("[[Kamionwizard]]": 1300 → 2100 [[ATK]]), "[[Kamionwizard]]" [[destroy]]s the third [[Sheep Token]]. "[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]" [[attack]]s the last "[[Sheep Token]]". After gaining 800 [[ATK]] via "[[Leading Question]]'s" [[Card effect|effect]] ("[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]": 1200 → 2000 [[ATK]]), "[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]" [[destroy]]s the final [[Sheep Token]]. At this point [[Noah Kaiba|Noah]] arrives to stop the [[duel]] because [[Johnson]] has been cheating, but [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] agrees to continue as long as [[Johnson]] promises to stop cheating.
+
Johnson draws "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]" and subsequently activates it to [[Draw a card|draw]] two cards. As Johnson has at least six cards in his hand, while Joey has two or fewer, Joey activates his face-down "Gamble" to let himself flip a coin. If he calls it right, he can draw until he has five cards in his hand, but if he calls it wrong his next turn will be skipped. Joey calls heads. He is correct, but Johnson cheats and changes the result to tails.  
  
<u>'''Joey's turn'''</u><br />
+
Joey activates his face-down "Scapegoat" to [[Special Summon]] four "[[Sheep Token (anime)|Sheep Tokens]]" (0/0 each) in [[Defense Position]]. Johnson activates "[[Reinforcement of the Army (anime)|Reinforcement of the Army]]" to add "[[Armaill (anime)|Armaill]]" from his Deck to his hand. He then activates "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" to [[Fusion Material Monster|fuse]] "Armaill" with "[[One-Eyed Shield Dragon (anime)|One-Eyed Shield Dragon]]" in order to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight (anime)|Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]" (1200/900) in Attack Position.  
[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[activate]]s "[[Pot of Greed]]" to [[Draw a card|draw]] 2 cards. Then, he [[Special Summon]]s his [[Deck Master]], "[[Flame Swordsman]]", in [[Attack Position]] (1000 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]) and [[equip]]s "[[Burning Soul Sword]]" to "[[Flame Swordsman]]". Next, he [[activate]]s "[[Arduous Decision]]", allowing him to [[Draw a card|draw]] 2 cards and asking his opponent to pick one face-down (if he [[select]]s a [[Monster Cards|monster]], it is [[Special Summon]]ed to the [[Playing Field|field]]; if he [[select]]s a [[Spell Cards|Magic]] or [[Trap Cards|Trap]], both cards are [[Send|sent]] to the [[Graveyard]]). The cards [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] drew are "[[Shield & Sword]]" and "[[Goblin Attack Force]]", and [[Johnson]] is about to [[select]] "[[Shield & Sword]]", but he changes his mind and selects "[[Goblin Attack Force]]" letting [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] [[Special Summon]] it to the [[Playing Field|field]] in [[Attack Position]] (2300 [[ATK]] / 0 [[DEF]]). [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] then [[activate]]s "[[Burning Soul Sword]]'s" [[Card effect|effect]]: he [[tribute]]s "[[Goblin Attack Force]]" to increase "[[Flame Swordsman]]'s" [[ATK]] by the [[ATK]] of the [[tribute]]d [[Monster Cards|monster]] ("[[Flame Swordsman]]": 1000 → 3300 [[ATK]]). "[[Flame Swordsman]]" [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "[[Dragoness the Wicked Knight]]" ([[Johnson]]: 800 → 0 [[Life Points]]).
 
  
==Differences In Adaptations==

"Kamionwizard" attacks a Sheep Token. The effect of "Leading Question" activates ("Kamionwizard": 1300 → 2100/1100) and "Kamionwizard" destroys the "Sheep Token". "Dragoness the Wicked Knight" then attacks another "Sheep Token". The effect of "Leading Question" activates ("Dragoness": 1200 → 2000/900) and "Dragoness" destroys the "Sheep Token". At the end of the Damage Step, the effect of "Leading Question" expires ("Kamionwizard": 2100 → 1300/1100; "Dragoness": 2000 → 1200/900).
* Cut from the US version is a brief sequence where Jounouchi thinks that because of the monster's low attack, he still can't use his trap card, Bottomless Trap Hole, which has been sitting useless on the field during the whole duel. It's replaced in the US version by a pan down Dragoness' helmet from later in the episode.
 
* In the US, the violence against the [[Sheep Token]]s is obscured.

<u>'''Turn 12: Joey'''</u><br />

Joey draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards ("Burning Soul Sword" and "Arduous Decision"). Joey then moves his [[Deck Master]], "[[Flame Swordsman (anime)|Flame Swordsman]]", (1000/1600) to the [[field]] in Attack Position. Joey then activates "[[Burning Soul Sword]]" and equips it to "Flame Swordsman". Now, Joey can [[Tribute]] a monster and increase the ATK of the monster equipped with "Burning Soul Sword" by the ATK of the Tributed monster until the [[End Phase]].

Joey activates "[[Arduous Decision]]" to draw two cards and have Johnson pick one of them at random. If Johnson picks a monster, it will be Special Summoned, but if he picks a [[Spell Card|Magic]] or [[Trap Card]], both cards will be [[sent]] to the [[Graveyard]]. Joey draws "[[Shield & Sword (anime)|Shield & Sword]]" and "[[Goblin Attack Force (anime)|Goblin Attack Force]]". Johnson selects "Shield & Sword", but changes his mind and selects "Goblin Attack Force", so Joey Special Summons the latter monster (2300/0) in Attack Position. Joey activates the effect of "Burning Soul Sword" by Tributing "Goblin Attack Force" ("Flame Swordsman": 1000 → 3300/1600). "Flame Swordsman" attacks and destroys "Dragoness" (Johnson 800 → 0).

SummaryEdit

  • In his Duel, Joey plays luck-based cards. Johnson cheats by manipulating the die rolls and coin flips.
  • After a while, Noah appears and tries to stop the Duel because of Johnson's cheating, but Joey convinces him to let the Duel continue as long as Johnson plays fairly.
  • Kaiba and Mokuba, who have been transported to a beach, watch the confrontation on a television set lying in the sand. They hear Noah talk about proving himself to Gozaburo, which confuses them since they never met Noah while living with him.
  • Joey's final "gamble" comes from the effect of "Arduous Decision". Johnson has to pick one of Joey's cards, one resulting in his victory and the other in his defeat. When Johnson confidently chooses one, Joey's reactions trick him into second-guessing himself and picking the wrong card. Joey wins the Duel and is reunited with Yugi and Téa.

Featured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. JohnsonEdit

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Joey has 1200 Life Points remaining and controls one set card ("Bottomless Trap Hole").

Johnson has 1000 Life Points remaining and controls "Kamionwizard" (1300/1100) in Attack Position and "Sinister Justice".

Turn 8: Joey
Joey draws "Skull Dice", while his hand contains "Panther Warrior", "Swordsman of Landstar", "Gamble" and "Scapegoat". Joey Normal Summons "Panther Warrior" (2000/1600) in Attack Position and Sets a card.

Turn 9: Johnson
Johnson draws "Reinforcement of the Army", while his hand contains "Quick Attack", "De-Fusion" and "Painful Choice". He activates his face-down "Leading Question", which will increase the ATK of attacking Level 4 or lower Fusion Monsters by 800 during the Damage Step only. "Kamionwizard" attacks "Panther Warrior". The effect of "Leading Question" activates ("Kamionwizard": 1300 → 2100/1100). Joey activates his face-down "Skull Dice" to roll a die and divide the ATK of "Kamionwizard" by the die result. Joey gets a six, but Johnson cheats and changes it to a one. "Kamionwizard" then destroys "Panther Warrior" (Joey 1200 → 1100). The effect of "Sinister Justice" activates (Johnson 1000 → 1800). At the end of the Damage Step, the effect of "Leading Question" expires ("Kamionwizard": 2100 → 1300/1100).

Turn 10: Joey
Joey draws "Graceful Dice". He Normal Summons "Swordsman of Landstar" (500/1200) in Attack Position. He then activates "Graceful Dice" to roll a die and multiply the ATK of "Swordsman of Landstar by the die result. Joey gets a six, but once again, Johnson cheats and changes the result to a one. Johnson activates the Deck Master ability of "Judge Man" to pay 1000 Life Points (Johnson 1800 → 800) and destroy all monsters Joey controls as well as inflict 500 damage to Joey for each destroyed monster (Joey 1100 → 600). Joey Sets two cards.

Turn 11: Johnson
Johnson draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards. As Johnson has at least six cards in his hand, while Joey has two or fewer, Joey activates his face-down "Gamble" to let himself flip a coin. If he calls it right, he can draw until he has five cards in his hand, but if he calls it wrong his next turn will be skipped. Joey calls heads. He is correct, but Johnson cheats and changes the result to tails.

Joey activates his face-down "Scapegoat" to Special Summon four "Sheep Tokens" (0/0 each) in Defense Position. Johnson activates "Reinforcement of the Army" to add "Armaill" from his Deck to his hand. He then activates "Polymerization" to fuse "Armaill" with "One-Eyed Shield Dragon" in order to Fusion Summon "Dragoness the Wicked Knight" (1200/900) in Attack Position.

"Kamionwizard" attacks a Sheep Token. The effect of "Leading Question" activates ("Kamionwizard": 1300 → 2100/1100) and "Kamionwizard" destroys the "Sheep Token". "Dragoness the Wicked Knight" then attacks another "Sheep Token". The effect of "Leading Question" activates ("Dragoness": 1200 → 2000/900) and "Dragoness" destroys the "Sheep Token". At the end of the Damage Step, the effect of "Leading Question" expires ("Kamionwizard": 2100 → 1300/1100; "Dragoness": 2000 → 1200/900).

At this point, Noah arrives to stop the Duel because Johnson has been cheating, but Joey convinces Noah to let the Duel continue as long as Johnson promises to stop cheating.

Turn 12: Joey
Joey draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards ("Burning Soul Sword" and "Arduous Decision"). Joey then moves his Deck Master, "Flame Swordsman", (1000/1600) to the field in Attack Position. Joey then activates "Burning Soul Sword" and equips it to "Flame Swordsman". Now, Joey can Tribute a monster and increase the ATK of the monster equipped with "Burning Soul Sword" by the ATK of the Tributed monster until the End Phase.

Joey activates "Arduous Decision" to draw two cards and have Johnson pick one of them at random. If Johnson picks a monster, it will be Special Summoned, but if he picks a Magic or Trap Card, both cards will be sent to the Graveyard. Joey draws "Shield & Sword" and "Goblin Attack Force". Johnson selects "Shield & Sword", but changes his mind and selects "Goblin Attack Force", so Joey Special Summons the latter monster (2300/0) in Attack Position. Joey activates the effect of "Burning Soul Sword" by Tributing "Goblin Attack Force" ("Flame Swordsman": 1000 → 3300/1600). "Flame Swordsman" attacks and destroys "Dragoness" (Johnson 800 → 0).

Differences in adaptationsEdit

  • Cut from the dub is Joey musing that he cannot play his Set "Bottomless Trap Hole" as Johnson's monsters have too few ATK. It is replaced by a panning shot of the helmet of "Dragoness the Wicked Knight" from later in the episode.
  • In the dub, the violence against the "Sheep Tokens" is obscured.
  • In the Japanese version, a close-up of Yugi wondering why Noah would care that Johnson is cheating as they're on the same side is partially removed. Due to sloppy editing, a frame of this scene can be spotted as the scene changes from Yugi to Judge Man/Johnson.

NotesEdit

  1. This is Magic Card in the Japanese version, but a Trap Card in the English dub.
