'''"Merger of the Big Five, Part 2"''', known as '''"The Targeted Jonouchi - Teamwork Play toward Victory"''' in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and twelfth episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']] anime. It first aired in Japan on June 25, 2002 and in the United States on January 24, 2004.
* [[Yami Yugi]] and [[Joey]] are Dueling [[The Big Five]], who are taking turns using [[Tristan]]'s body and bringing out their respective Deck Masters. The stakes are Tristan's body against everyone else's, and no Life Points damage had been dealt yet.
+
 
* [[Johnson]] takes his turn, wrecking his enemies' lead. He then focused on Joey, dealing a massive amount of damage. He even answered Joey's next attack by disposing of Joey's Deck-Master-fueled beatstick to summon a high-level monster of his own, "[[Machine King]]".
+
==Summary==
* Yami Yugi used his next turn to summon a monster in [[Attack Position]]. However, his monster was weaker, so he ended his turn by setting a card.
+
* [[Yami Yugi]] and [[Joey]] continue to duel [[The Big Five]], who are taking turns using [[Tristan]]'s body and bringing out their respective [[Deck Master|Deck Masters]].
** This got Johnson's attention, and even Joey could sense the fact that Yami Yugi just set a Trap Card.
+
* Yami Yugi lures [[Nezbitt]] into a trap to save Joey from losing all his [[LP|life points]]. Joey also fell for the trick, but everyone thought he was acting.
* [[Nezbitt]] on the other hand, was elated, and he called out his attack to strike down Yami Yugi's now-exposed monster. Too late, [[Leichter]] tries to warn his associate, but it was from Yami Yugi that Nezbitt learned that the true trap was in his monster's effect. "Machine King" was destroyed, leaving Nezbitt with no monsters and a chunk of Life Points gone.
+
* In the virtual [[Kaiba Land]], [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] finds an old projector containing videos of [[Noah Kaiba|Noah]] as a young child and of what appears to be Noah's funeral. Kaiba wonders if Noah was in an accident shortly before he and [[Mokuba]] were adopted.
** [[Duke]] realized that Yami Yugi did more than lure Nezbitt into an ill-fated attack -- he also got him to forget about Joey, who had no monsters and almost no Life Points. Everyone, even Yami Yugi, commended Joey for being such a good actor as to make the lure perfect. Joey pretended it was no big deal, barely concealing the fact that he hadn't been acting.
+
* Had Yugi Summoned his Deck Master Dark Magician who holds 2500 ATK, and attacked The Big Five who had 1200 LP, him and Joey would've won.
* Joey got his game together, and he and Yami Yugi began evening the score.
 
* Leichter took over for the reminder of the Duel, and his next combo stopped his enemies' offense cold.
 
** However, Joey broke apart Leichter's combo on his next turn, and Yami Yugi dealt even more damage.
 
* As Leichter prepared his last turn, he knew he'll gain access to a Ritual Spell this turn. After he drew, he laughed, announcing that he had drawn the ultimate monster of The Big Five. The episode ended with him towering over his opponents, the silhouette of the "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" appearing behind him.

"Merger of the Big Five, Part 2", known as "The Targeted Jonouchi - Teamwork Play toward Victory" in the Japanese version, is the one hundred and twelfth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. It first aired in Japan on June 25, 2002 and in the United States on January 24, 2004.

Summary[edit]

  • Yami Yugi and Joey continue to duel The Big Five, who are taking turns using Tristan's body and bringing out their respective Deck Masters.
  • Yami Yugi lures Nezbitt into a trap to save Joey from losing all his life points. Joey also fell for the trick, but everyone thought he was acting.
  • In the virtual Kaiba Land, Kaiba finds an old projector containing videos of Noah as a young child and of what appears to be Noah's funeral. Kaiba wonders if Noah was in an accident shortly before he and Mokuba were adopted.
  • Had Yugi Summoned his Deck Master Dark Magician who holds 2500 ATK, and attacked The Big Five who had 1200 LP, him and Joey would've won.

Deck Masters[edit]

Featured Duel: Yami Yugi + Joey Wheeler vs. The Big Five, Part 2[edit]

Duel continued from previous episode.

Yami Yugi and Joey still have 4000 Life Points remaining.

Yami Yugi controls "Kuriboh" (300/200) and "Mystical Elf" in Defense Position.

Joey controls "Alligator's Sword" (2000/1200) and "Cyber Harpie" (1800/1300) in Attack Position and "Kunai with Chain" (equipped to "Alligator's Sword").

The Big Five have 8000 Life Points remaining and control "Catapult Turtle" (1200/2000) in Defense Position.

Turn 10: The Big Five (Johnson)
Johnson has just taken over for Crump. As The Big Five switched their Deck Master, the ATK of "Catapult Turtle" decreases ("Catapult Turtle": 1200 → 1000/2000). Johnson draws. He then activates the Deck Master ability of "Judge Man" to pay 1000 Life Points (The Big Five 8000 → 7000), destroy all monsters that Yami Yugi and Joey control, and inflict 500 damage to them for each of their destroyed monsters (Yami Yugi 4000 → 3000; Joey 4000 → 3000).

Johnson then Normal Summons "Hysteric Angel" (1800/600) in Attack Position. "Hysteric Angel" attacks Joey directly (Joey 3000 → 1200). Johnson then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to Tribute "Hysteric Angel" and inflict damage to Joey equal to half of the ATK of "Hysteric Angel" (Joey 1200 → 300). Johnson then Sets a card and activates "Altar of Mist". This card can't be destroyed by card effects. Also on Johnson's 3rd Standby Phase after the activation of "Altar of Mist", he can add a Ritual Magic Card or Ritual Monster from his Deck to his hand.

Turn 11: Joey
Joey draws "Rocket Warrior" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/1300) in Attack Position. He then activates the Deck Master ability of "Flame Swordsman" to decrease the latter's ATK by 1000 and increase the ATK of "Rocket Warrior" by the same amount amount ("Flame Swordsman": 1800 → 800/1600; "Rocket Warrior": 1500 → 2500/1300). "Rocket Warrior" then attacks and destroys "Catapult Turtle". Johnson then activates his face-down "Revenge Sacrifice" to Tribute "Rocket Warrior" and Special Summon "Machine King" (2200/2000) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Machine King", it gains 100 ATK for each Machine-Type monster on the field. There is currently one ("Machine King": 2200 → 2300/2000)

Turn 12: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi's hand contains "Black Luster Ritual", "Mirror Force", "Polymerization", and "Des Volstgalph". Yami Yugi draws "The Rock Spirit". He then removes from play "Buster Blader" from his Graveyard in order to Special Summon "The Rock Spirit" (1700/1000) in Attack Position via its own effect. Yami Yugi then Tributes "The Rock Spirit" to Tribute Summon "Des Volstgalph" (2200/1700) in Attack Position. Yami Yugi then sets a card.

Turn 13: The Big Five (Nezbitt)
At this point, Nezbitt takes over for Johnson. Nezbitt draws. He then activates "Heavy Storm" to destroy all Magic and Trap Cards on the field which includes Yami Yugi's face-down card, "Mirror Force" ("Altar of Mist" is not destroyed by "Heavy Storm" as mentioned above). Since Nezbitt activated a Magic Card, the second effect of "Des Volstgalph" activates, increasing its ATK by 200 until the end of the turn ("Des Volstgalph": 2200 → 2400/1700), however Nezbitt doesn't notice this yet.

"Machine King" attacks "Des Volstgalph", but Yami Yugi reveals at this point that "Des Volstgalph" gained 200 more ATK when Nezbitt activated "Heavy Storm". "Des Volstgalph" destroys "Machine King" (The Big Five 7000 → 6900). Since "Des Volstgalph" destroyed a monster in battle and sent it to the Graveyard, its effect activates; inflicting 500 damage to The Big Five (The Big Five 6900 → 6400). During the End Phase, the second effect of "Des Volstgalph" expires ("Des Volstgalph": 2400 → 2200/1700).

Turn 14: Joey
Joey draws "Panther Warrior" and subsequently Normal Summons it (2000/1600) in Defense Position. He then sets a card ("Drop Off").

Turn 15: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws. "Des Volstgalph" attacks Nezbitt directly (The Big Five 6400 → 4200) Yami Yugi then Normal Summons "Big Shield Gardna" (100/2600) in Defense Position.

Turn 16: The Big Five (Leichter)
At this point, Leichter takes over for Nezbitt, and for the rest of the duel. Leichter draws "Pot of Greed", but Joey activates his face-down "Drop Off" to make Leichter discard the card he just drew, however the Deck Master ability of Leichter's Deck Master "Jinzo" immediately negates Joey's Trap Card and destroys it. Leichter then activates "Pot of Greed" to draw two cards ("Gravity Bind" and "Sebek's Blessing"). The second effect of "Des Volstgalph" activates ("Des Volstgalph": 2200 → 2400/1700).

Leichter then Normal Summons "Injection Fairy Lily" (400/1500) in Attack Position. "Injection Fairy Lily" attacks "Des Volstgalph". Leichter then activates the effect of "Injection Fairy Lily" to pay 2000 Life Points (The Big Five 4200 → 2200) and increase the ATK of "Injection Fairy Lily" by 3000 during damage calculation only ("Injection Fairy Lily": 400 → 3400/1500). "Injection Fairy Lily" destroys "Des Volstgalph" (Yami Yugi 3000 → 2000). After damage calculation, the effect of "Injection Fairy Lily" expires ("Injection Fairy Lily": 3400 → 400/1500). Leichter then activates "Sebek's Blessing" to increase his Life Points by the Battle Damage that Yami Yugi took from this battle (The Big Five 2200 → 3200). Leichter then sets a card.

Turn 17: Joey
Joey's hand contains "Block Attack", "Knight's Title", and "Gamble". Joey draws "Jinzo". Leichter then activates his face-down "Gravity Bind". Now Level 4 or higher monsters can't attack. Joey then Tributes "Panther Warrior" to Tribute Summon his own copy of "Jinzo" (2400/1500) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of Joey's "Jinzo", "Gravity Bind" is destroyed. Joey then activates "Block Attack" to switch "Injection Fairy Lily" to Defense Position. Joey's "Jinzo" then attacks and destroys "Injection Fairy Lily".

Turn 18: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws "Dark Magician Girl". He then Tributes "Big Shield Gardna" to Tribute Summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000/1700) in Attack Position. "Dark Magician Girl" attacks Leichter directly (The Big Five 3200 → 1200).

Turn 19: The Big Five (Leichter)
Leichter draws "Five-Headed Dragon".

Duel concludes next episode.

Differences in adaptions[edit]

  • A shot of the eye beam of "Hysteric Angel" hitting Joey is removed from the dub.
    • Also, when "Hysteric Angel" is Tributed for the effect of "Catapult Turtle" in the original, she kicks Joey. This is removed from the dub.
  • When Kaiba switched the projector on, the countdown of the film is removed.
  • Again, the giant hypodermic needle that "Injection Fairy Lily" uses is changed into a rocket in the dub, and a shot of her needle filling up is removed. The background of the card when "Injection Fairy Lily" is summoned is altered to remove the needles with angel wings.
  • "Injection Fairy Lily's" weapon stabbing "Des Volstgalph" is obscured from the dub.
  • When "Dark Magician Girl" attacked Leichter directly, it went past him rather than through him.
  • The scene where Leichter calls Joey a foolish kid and Joey being angered by the response is removed from dub.
  • In the Japanese version, the woman carrying a picture of Noah in the movie projection wore a veil. This is removed from the dub.

Mistakes[edit]

  • In the dub, "Hysteric Fairy" was named "Hysteric Angel," which was the Japanese name of that card.
    • Additionally to the above mistake, "Hysteric Fairy" still has her angel halo, which, normally, was to be edited out.
  • Yami Yugi used "Card Destruction" in the previous episode to discard his entire hand, which contained "Black Luster Ritual". However, he is shown to have "Black Luster Ritual" in his hand still.
    • It could be that he simply drew another "Black Luster Ritual" card, but it is unlikely for Yami Yugi to carry more than one of those cards in his deck.
  • When Yami Yugi Tributed "Big Shield Gardna" in order to Tribute Summon "Dark Magician Girl," the former monster remained on the field.
  • When "Machine King" is attacking, it is displayed as Life Points instead of ATK.
