*Suddenly, [[Seto Kaiba]] arrives.
+
*Suddenly, [[Seto Kaiba]] arrives and declares a "dueling foul": [[Zigfried von Schroeder|Zigfried]] entered the tournament under a false name (in breach of KC Championship contract rules), and must therefore be disqualified. Seto exposes Zigfried as [[Zigfried von Schroeder]] and immediately orders him to leave.
 +
*Zigfried calls Kaiba a coward, saying this is just a "technicality" excuse to prevent him from reaching the Championship crown. However, Kaiba tells him that "no one is going to kick you out" and challenges him to try to stand up to him in a Duel, to which Ziegfried quickly agrees. The featured Duel becomes '''Seto Kaiba vs. Zigfried von Schroeder'''.
 +
*Kaiba already has knowledge of Zigfried unleashing a virus all over KaibaCorp's computer banks, giving him an advantage. To remedy this, Kaiba instead uses his Duel Disk connected to the Duel Stage with a USB cable, ensuring that they both play on fair terms.
 +
 
 +
==Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba vs. Zigfried von Schroeder==
  
−
:'''[[Seto Kaiba]]:''' "''This is as far as it comes! As the organizer of this tournament, I announce a cancellation! And, also, Leon Wilson is declared automatic winner and will compete against the current King!''"
+
<u>'''Turn 1: Kaiba'''</u><br />
 +
[[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] draws "[[X-Head Cannon (anime)|X-Head Cannon]]" and subsequently [[Normal Summon]]s it (1800/1500) in [[Attack Position]]. He then [[Set]]s two cards.
  
−
* The public moans in disappointment and Yugi & co. wonder what's going on. Leon is nevertheless glad that he'll be able to have a Duel with "Yuugi - san".
+
<u>'''Turn 2: Zigfried'''</u><br />
 +
[[Zigfried von Schroeder|Zigfried]] draws "[[Ride of the Valkyries (anime)|Ride of the Valkyries]]" and subsequently [[activate]]s it to [[Special Summon]] "[[Valkyrie Erste (anime)|Valkyrie Erste]]" (1600/1800), "[[Valkyrie Zweite (anime)|Valkyrie Zweite]]" (1600/1600) and "[[Valkyrie Dritte (anime)|Valkyrie Dritte]]" (1000/1600) from his hand all in Attack Position. Since "Valkyrie Zweite" was summoned, its [[effect]] activates, [[destroy]]ing "X-Head Cannon".  
  
−
:'''[[Zigfried von Schroeder|Sieg Lloyd]]:''' "''Would you mind giving us an explanation? Mr. Kaiba.''"  
+
Zigfried then activates the effect of "Valkyrie Erste", [[banish|removing from play]] "X-Head Cannon" from Seto's [[Graveyard]] and increasing the [[ATK]] of "Valkyrie Erste" to the ATK of "X-Head Cannon"  ("Valkyrie Erste": 1600 → 1800/1800). Due to the effect of "Valkyrie Dritte", it gains 100 ATK for each monster that is removed from play ("Valkyrie Dritte": 1000 → 1100/1600).  
−
:'''[[Seto Kaiba]]:''' "''There's no need for explanations. You lowlife are the one who clearly understands what's going on. Sieg Lloy... No! Siegfried von Schroider!''"
 
  
−
* Kaiba then goes on listing the incidents organized by him and finds it laughable that Siegfried entered the KC Grand Prix with a fake name, him being the Schroider Inc. president, the main European rival of Kaiba Corporation.
+
"Valkyrie Zweite" [[attack]]s [[direct attack|directly]], but Seto activates his face-down "[[Negate Attack (later DM anime)|Negate Attack]]" to [[Negate|negate]] the attack and end the [[Battle Phase]]. Zigfried then activates "[[Mischief of the Time Goddess (anime)|Mischief of the Time Goddess]]"<ref group=Notes name=timegoddess>Zigfried activates "[[Mischief of the Time Goddess (anime)|Mischief of the Time Goddess]]" as if it was a [[Quick-Play Spell Card]], but the card itself as depicted in the anime lacks the Quick-Play Spell Card symbol.</ref> to skip the current turn and proceed directly to his next Battle Phase. The effect of "Valkyrie Erste" expires ("Valkyrie Erste": 1800 → 1600/1800).
  
−
* Siegfried calmly exposes that they're being filmed in live, so it's not like Kaiba's announcing that he fears Siegfried's company and thus is kicking him out.
+
<u>'''Turn 3: Zigfried'''</u><br />
 +
"Valkyrie Zweite" attacks directly, but Seto activates his face-down "[[Magical Trick Mirror (anime)|Magical Trick Mirror]]" to activate "Mischief of the Time Goddess" from Zigfried's Graveyard as his card, allowing Seto to skip the current turn and proceed directly to Seto's next Battle Phase. Since the end of Zigfried's turn was never reached, the effect of "Ride of the Valkyries" does not return his "Valkyrie" monsters to his [[Main Deck|Deck]].
  
−
* However, Kaiba tells him that "no one is going to kick you out" and challenges him to try to stand up to him in a Duel, to which Ziegfried quickly agrees. The featured Duel becomes '''Seto Kaiba vs. Siegfried von Schroider'''.
+
<u>'''Turn 4: Kaiba'''</u><br />
 +
Seto Normal Summons "[[Z-Metal Tank (anime)|Z-Metal Tank]]" (1500/1300) in [[Defense Position]]. Since he Summoned a monster, Seto activates the first effect of "[[Clone Dragon]]" to Special Summon the latter (?/?) from his hand in Defense Position. The second effect of "Clone Dragon" activates, making its ATK and DEF the same as the original ATK and DEF of "Z-Metal Tank" ("Clone Dragon": ? → 1500/? → 1300).
  
−
=Notes=
+
<u>'''Turn 5: Zigfried'''</u><br />
−
'''"[[Mischief of the Time Goddess]]"''':
+
Zigfried draws. He then activates "[[Valkyrie's Embrace (anime)|Valkyrie's Embrace]]" to change his "Valkyrie Dritte" to Defense Position and remove from play "Z-Metal Tank" ("Valkyrie Dritte": 1100 → 1200/1600). "Valkyrie Erste" attacks and destroys "Clone Dragon". "Valkyrie Zweite" attacks directly (Seto 4000 → 2400).
−
*During this episode and during his first Turn of the Duel, Siegfried declares an Attack on a defenseless Seto. Seto uses [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] "[[Negate Attack]]" to Negate it, but Siegfried then plays [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] "[[Mischief of the Time Goddess]]": the Duel seems to skip towards another [[Battle Phase]] for Siegfried, who then Attacks again. (Also, Siegfried names it a [[Quick-Play Spell Card]] in the Japanese version although the Card itself is missing its symbol: possibly an animation error.)
 
  
−
*Seto however, counters Zigfried's second Attack by Activating [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] "[[Magical Trick Mirror]]": he selects "[[Mischief of the Time Goddess]]" in Siegfried's [[Graveyard]] and activates it. It somehow permits Seto to stop Siegfried's current Attack dead in its tracks, and go directly to his next Turn (which [[Phase]] is unclear, at least initially).
+
<u>'''Turn 6: Kaiba'''</u><br />
 +
Seto draws "[[Pitch-Dark Dragon (anime)|Pitch-Dark Dragon]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (900/600) in Defense Position. He then Sets a card.
  
−
*The exact effects of "[[Mischief of the Time Goddess]]", as well as the subtleties of its application, aren't fully explained:
+
<u>'''Turn 7: Zigfried'''</u><br />
−
** Siegfried reads the exact text of the Card: ''"Skip 1 Turn. My Turn to [[Battle Phase]]''".
+
Zigfried draws. He then changes his "Valkyrie Dritte" to Attack Position. "Valkyrie Zweite" attacks and destroys "Pitch-Dark Dragon". Since a monster he controlled was destroyed, Seto activates his face-down "[[Flat Lv 4]]" to allow both players to Special Summon one [[Level]] 4 monster from their Decks. Seto Special Summons "[[Y-Dragon Head (anime)|Y-Dragon Head]]" (1500/1600) in Defense Position while Zigfried Special Summons another "Valkyrie Dritte" (1000 → 1200/1600) in [[Attack Position]].
−
**It is believed the Card's text should be something along the lines of: "''Immediately end current Turn: its remaining [[Phase]]s, including the [[End Phase]], are Skipped. Go directly to the [[Battle Phase]] of your next Turn''". A full discussion on how this conclusion was reached can be found in the [[Talk:Mischief of the Time Goddess|"Mischief of the Time Goddess" DISCUSSION Page]].

=Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba vs. Siegfried von Schroider - Part 1=
+
<u>'''Turn 8: Kaiba'''</u><br />
 +
Seto draws "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards. He then activates "[[Dimension Fusion (anime)|Dimension Fusion]]" to pay 2000 [[Life Points]] (Seto 2400 → 400) and [[Special Summon]] "X-Head Cannon" (1800/1500) and "Z-Metal Tank" (1500/1300) from his Removed from Play Zone in Attack Position (both "Valkyrie Dritte": 1200 → 1000/1600). Seto activates "[[Soul Absorption (anime)|Soul Absorption]]". Now whenever one or more cards is removed from play, Seto will gain 500 Life Points for each of those cards.
  
−
==Seto Kaiba's Turn==
+
Seto then removes from play his "X-Head Cannon", "Y-Dragon Head", and "Z-Metal Tank" to Special Summon "[[XYZ-Dragon Cannon (anime)|XYZ-Dragon Cannon]]" (2800/2600) in Attack Position (Seto 400 → 1900) (both "Valkyrie Dritte": 1000 → 1300/1600). "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" attacks and destroys a "Valkyrie Dritte" (Zigfried 4000 → 2500).
−
*Summons "[[X-Head Cannon]]" (1800 [[ATK]] / 1500 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]].
 
−
*Sets two Cards.
 
  
−
==Siegfried von Schroider's Turn #1==
+
<u>'''Turn 9: Zigfried'''</u><br />
−
*Activates [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] "[[Ride of the Valkyries]]": he can [[Special Summon]] 3 [[Valkyries|Valkyrie]] Monsters from his Hand: one "[[Valkyrie Erste]]" (1600 [[ATK]] / 1800 [[DEF]]), one "[[Valkyrie Zwei]]" (1600 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]), and one "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" (1000 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]].
+
Zigfried draws "[[Nibelung's Treasure]]" and subsequently activates it to activate "[[Nibelung's Ring]]" from his Deck to Kaiba's side of the field, equipping "Nibelung's Ring" onto Kaiba's "XYZ-Dragon Cannon". Now the equipped monster can't attack, be [[Tribute]]d, change its [[battle position]] or activate any effects it has. Due to the secondary effect of "Nibelung's Treasure", Zigfried draws five cards. He then Tributes "Valkyrie Dritte" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Fortune Chariot (anime)|Fortune Chariot]]" (0/0) in Attack Position.
−
**The first "[[Valkyrie Zwei|Valkyrie Zwei's]]" Special Ability Activates: Seto's "[[X-Head Cannon]]" is Destroyed.
 
−
*Siegfried Activates "[[Valkyrie Erste|Valkyrie Erste's]]" Special Ability: he targets "[[X-Head Cannon]]" in Seto's [[Graveyard]] and Removes it from the Game so that his Monster's [[ATK]] becomes equal to that of Seto's Monster ("[[Valkyrie Erste]]": 1600 → 1800 [[ATK]] / 1800 [[DEF]]).
 
−
*Thanks to its Special Ability, since a Monster is now Removed from the Duel "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" gains 100 [[ATK]] ("[[Valkyrie Dritte]]": 1000 → 1100 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]).
 
−
*Uses his "[[Valkyrie Zwei]]" to Attack Seto Directly.
 
−
**Seto Activates [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] "[[Negate Attack]]": it Negates Siegfried's Attack and Ends the [[Battle Phase]]. ("[[Negate Attack]]" is a [[Quick-Play Spell Card]] in the anime.)
 
−
*During his [[Main Phase 2]], Siegfried Activates [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] "[[Mischief of the Time Goddess]]": it allows him to Skip the rest of his current Turn and obtain a second Turn immediately after, going directly to his [[Battle Phase]].
 
  
−
==Siegfried von Schroider's Turn #2 - Battle Phase==
+
Zigfried then activates the first effect of "Fortune Chariot" to equip it to "Valkyrie Zweite". Zigfried activates the second effect of "Fortune Chariot" to halve the [[ATK]] of the equipped "Valkyrie Zweite" ("Valkyrie Zweite": 1600 → 800/1600) and allow it to attack directly this turn. "Valkyrie Zweite" attacks directly (Seto 1900 → 1100). Zigfried then activates "[[Mystical Space Typhoon (anime)|Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to destroy "Soul Absorption". Zigfried then Sets a card. On Zigfried's End Phase, the effect of "Fortune Chariot" expires ("Valkyrie Zweite": 800 → 1600/1600).
−
*Uses his "[[Valkyrie Zwei]]" to Attack Seto Directly again.
 
−
**Seto Activates [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] "[[Magical Trick Mirror]]": he selects "[[Mischief of the Time Goddess]]" in Siegfried's [[Graveyard]] and Activates it. It permits Seto to Skip the rest of Siegfried's current turn and go directly to the [[Battle Phase]] of his next Turn.
 
  
−
==Seto Kaiba's Turn - Battle Phase==
+
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 195|Duel concludes next episode.]]''
−
*Since Seto has no Monsters on the Field, he cannot Attack. He goes directly to his [[Main Phase 2]] (This step is explained by Seto in the original Japanese anime).
 
−
*During his [[Main Phase 2]], Summons "[[Z-Metal Tank]]" (1500 [[ATK]] / 1300 [[DEF]]) in [[Defense Position]].
 
−
**Activates "[[Clone Dragon|Clone Dragon's]]" Special Aability, [[Special Summon]]ing from his hand (? [[ATK]] / ? [[DEF]]) in [[Defense Position]]. "[[Clone Dragon]]" becomes an exact duplicate of Seto's "[[Z-Metal Tank]]", with all the same stats as the original Monster ("[[Clone Dragon]]": ? → 1500 [[ATK]] / ? → 1300 [[DEF]]).
 
  
−
==Siegfried von Schroider's Turn==
+
==Differences in adaptations==
−
*Since the end of Siegfried's previous Turn was skipped, the second Effect of "[[Ride of the Valkyries]]" could never activate. Thus, his "[[Valkyrie Erste]]", "[[Valkyrie Zwei]]", and "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" are not returned to his [[Deck]] and are allowed to remain on the Field (NOTE: again, the explanation of this step is exclusively in the original Japanese anime; it is skipped in the English dub).
+
*Cut from the dub is a sequence of children rushing home and many other people around the world getting together to watch the duel on TV at the beginning of the episode.
−
*Activates [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] "[[Valkyrie's Embrace]]": by Switching the [[Battle Position]] of one of his [[Valkyries]], he can Remove a Monster his opponent Controls from the Duel. Zigfried switches his "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" from [[Attack Position|Attack]] to [[Defense Position]], Removing Seto's "[[Z-Metal Tank]]" from the Game.
 
−
*Thanks to its Special Ability, since an extra Monster was Removed from the Game "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" gains another 100 [[ATK]] ("[[Valkyrie Dritte]]": 1100 → 1200 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]).
 
−
*Uses "[[Valkyrie Erste]]" to Attack & Destroy Seto's "[[Clone Dragon]]".
 
−
*Uses "[[Valkyrie Zwei]]" to Attack Seto Directly ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]]: 4000 → 2400 [[Life Points]]).
 
  
−
==Seto Kaiba's Turn==
+
*Cut from the dub are long shots of Kaiba's helicopter flying above the stadium, and the gang wondering what's happening.
−
*Summons "[[Pitch-Dark Dragon]]" (900 [[ATK]] / 600 [[DEF]]) in [[Defense Position]].
 
−
*Sets a Card.
 
  
−
==Siegfried von Schroider's Turn==
+
*At the beginning of the duel, Zigfried draws his cards first, then Kaiba draws his cards in the dub. In the original, Kaiba draws his cards first.  
−
*Switches his "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" to [[Attack Position]], and uses it to Attack & Destroy Seto's "[[Pitch-Dark Dragon]]".
 
−
**Since a Monster he controlled was Destroyed, Seto can Activate [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] "[[Flat Level 4]]": both Players may [[Special Summon]] a [[Level]] 4 Monster from their [[Hand]] or [[Deck]]. Seto [[Special Summon]]s "[[Y-Dragon Head]]" (1500 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]) in [[Defense Position]]; Zigfried [[Special Summon]]s another "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" (1000 → 1200 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack Position]].
 
  
−
==Seto Kaiba's Turn==
+
* In the Japanese dub, after [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] cheers for his brother, Yugi notices that Zigfried's expression has changed. In the US version he doesn't notice this, and instead he says that Kaiba is still in trouble.
−
*Activates [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] "[[Pot of Greed]]" to Draw 2 Cards.
 
−
*Activates [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] "[[Dimension Fusion]]": Seto Pays 2000 LP ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]]: 2400 → 400 [[Life Points]]) so that both Players may [[Special Summon]] all their Monsters Removed from the Game. Seto [[Special Summon]]s "[[X-Head Cannon]]" (1800 [[ATK]] / 1500 [[DEF]]) and "[[Z-Metal Tank]]" (1500 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]) back to the Field in [[Attack Position]].
 
−
**Since no Monsters are "removed from the Duel" now, Sigfried's two "[[Valkyrie Dritte|Valkyrie Drittes]]" lose their power boost ("[[Valkyrie Dritte]]": 1200 → 1000 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]).
 
−
*Activates [[Continuous Spell Cards|Continuous Spell Cards]] "[[Soul Absorption]]": whenever a Card is Removed from the Game, Seto's LP will increase by 500 per Card.
 
−
*Activates "[[XYZ-Dragon Cannon|XYZ-Dragon Cannon's]]" Special Ability: Seto removes his "[[X-Head Cannon]]", "[[Y-Dragon Head|Dragon Head]]", and "[[Z-Metal Tank]]" from the Game to [[Special Summon]] "[[XYZ-Dragon Cannon]]" (2800 [[ATK]] / 2600 [[DEF]]) from his [[Fusion Deck]] in [[Attack Position]].
 
−
**"[[Soul Absorption|Soul Absorption's]]" Effect Activates: with 3 Cards Removed from the Game, Seto's LP increase by 1500 ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]]: 400 → 1900 [[Life Points]]).
 
−
**Thanks to its Special Ability, since 3 Monsters are now Removed from the Game Siegfried's two "[[Valkyrie Dritte|Valkyrie Drittes]]" gain 300 [[ATK]] ("[[Valkyrie Dritte]]": 1000 → 1300 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]).
 
−
*Uses "[[XYZ-Dragon Cannon]]" to Attack & Destroy one of Siegfried's "[[Valkyrie Dritte|Valkyrie Drittes]]" ([[Zigfried von Schroeder|Siegfried]]: 4000 → 2500 [[Life Points]]).
 
  
−
==Siegfried von Schroider's Turn==
+
==Mistakes==
−
*Activates [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] "[[Nibelung's Treasure]]".
+
*In the dub, the card lore of "[[Valkyrie Dritte (anime)|Valkyrie Dritte]]" is replaced with the card lore of "[[Valkyrie Zweite (anime)|Valkyrie Zweite]]". "Valkyrie Dritte" is shown being Level 5 and having 1600 ATK even though she is Level 4 and has only 1000 ATK.
−
**Siegfried Equips [[Equip Spell Cards|Equip Spell Card]] "[[Nibelung's Ring]]" from his [[Deck]] to Seto's "[[XYZ-Dragon Cannon]]". It cannot Attack or be [[Tribute]]d.
 
−
***"[[Nibelung's Ring]]" resolves and its Control switches to Seto.
 
−
**Thanks to "[[Nibelung's Treasure|Nibelung's Treasure's]]" secondary Effect, Siegfried Draws 5 Cards.
 
−
*Tributes "[[Valkyrie Dritte]]" to Summon "[[Fortune Chariot]]" (0 [[ATK]] / 0 [[DEF]]).
 
−
*Equips his "[[Fortune Chariot]]" to "[[Valkyrie Zwei]]": now, by cutting its [[ATK]] in half ("[[Valkyrie Zwei]]": 1600 → 800 [[ATK]] / 1600 [[DEF]]) "[[Valkyrie Zwei]]" can Attack Seto directly ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]]: 1900 → 1100 [[Life Points]]).
 
−
*Activates [[Quick-Play Spell Cards|Quick-Play Spell Card]] "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to Destroy Seto's "[[Soul Absorption]]".
 
−
*Sets a Card.
 
  
−
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 195|Duel concludes next episode.]]''
+
*In both versions, when Kaiba Summoned "[[Pitch-Dark Dragon (anime)|Pitch-Dark Dragon]]" and Set "[[Flat Lv 4]]", he had no cards in his hand anymore, but at the beginning of his next turn he is shown with one card in his hand before he draws "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]", draws two more, and then he only has two cards in his hand instead of three, with the formerly added card removed.

"One Step Ahead - Part 1", entitled "Kaiba's Intrusion! The Grand Prix Final" in the Japanese version, is the 194th episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

The Grand Championship is almost at its end, narrowed down to 2 contestants: Leon Wilson and Zigfried Lloyd—but before their Duel can begin, Seto Kaiba suddenly intervenes and replaces Leon as Zigfried's opponent.

Major Events[edit]


FINAL Duel
Zigfried Lloyd vs. Leon Wilson


  • The Duel is set in Kaiba Dome, the big audience stadium of Kaiba's theme park Kaibaland. The winner will have the honour of playing against Yugi Muto.
  • Suddenly, Seto Kaiba arrives and declares a "dueling foul": Zigfried entered the tournament under a false name (in breach of KC Championship contract rules), and must therefore be disqualified. Seto exposes Zigfried as Zigfried von Schroeder and immediately orders him to leave.
  • Zigfried calls Kaiba a coward, saying this is just a "technicality" excuse to prevent him from reaching the Championship crown. However, Kaiba tells him that "no one is going to kick you out" and challenges him to try to stand up to him in a Duel, to which Ziegfried quickly agrees. The featured Duel becomes Seto Kaiba vs. Zigfried von Schroeder.
  • Kaiba already has knowledge of Zigfried unleashing a virus all over KaibaCorp's computer banks, giving him an advantage. To remedy this, Kaiba instead uses his Duel Disk connected to the Duel Stage with a USB cable, ensuring that they both play on fair terms.

Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba vs. Zigfried von Schroeder[edit]

Turn 1: Kaiba
Seto draws "X-Head Cannon" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1800/1500) in Attack Position. He then Sets two cards.

Turn 2: Zigfried
Zigfried draws "Ride of the Valkyries" and subsequently activates it to Special Summon "Valkyrie Erste" (1600/1800), "Valkyrie Zweite" (1600/1600) and "Valkyrie Dritte" (1000/1600) from his hand all in Attack Position. Since "Valkyrie Zweite" was summoned, its effect activates, destroying "X-Head Cannon".

Zigfried then activates the effect of "Valkyrie Erste", removing from play "X-Head Cannon" from Seto's Graveyard and increasing the ATK of "Valkyrie Erste" to the ATK of "X-Head Cannon" ("Valkyrie Erste": 1600 → 1800/1800). Due to the effect of "Valkyrie Dritte", it gains 100 ATK for each monster that is removed from play ("Valkyrie Dritte": 1000 → 1100/1600).

"Valkyrie Zweite" attacks directly, but Seto activates his face-down "Negate Attack" to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. Zigfried then activates "Mischief of the Time Goddess"[Notes 1] to skip the current turn and proceed directly to his next Battle Phase. The effect of "Valkyrie Erste" expires ("Valkyrie Erste": 1800 → 1600/1800).

Turn 3: Zigfried
"Valkyrie Zweite" attacks directly, but Seto activates his face-down "Magical Trick Mirror" to activate "Mischief of the Time Goddess" from Zigfried's Graveyard as his card, allowing Seto to skip the current turn and proceed directly to Seto's next Battle Phase. Since the end of Zigfried's turn was never reached, the effect of "Ride of the Valkyries" does not return his "Valkyrie" monsters to his Deck.

Turn 4: Kaiba
Seto Normal Summons "Z-Metal Tank" (1500/1300) in Defense Position. Since he Summoned a monster, Seto activates the first effect of "Clone Dragon" to Special Summon the latter (?/?) from his hand in Defense Position. The second effect of "Clone Dragon" activates, making its ATK and DEF the same as the original ATK and DEF of "Z-Metal Tank" ("Clone Dragon": ? → 1500/? → 1300).

Turn 5: Zigfried
Zigfried draws. He then activates "Valkyrie's Embrace" to change his "Valkyrie Dritte" to Defense Position and remove from play "Z-Metal Tank" ("Valkyrie Dritte": 1100 → 1200/1600). "Valkyrie Erste" attacks and destroys "Clone Dragon". "Valkyrie Zweite" attacks directly (Seto 4000 → 2400).

Turn 6: Kaiba
Seto draws "Pitch-Dark Dragon" and subsequently Normal Summons it (900/600) in Defense Position. He then Sets a card.

Turn 7: Zigfried
Zigfried draws. He then changes his "Valkyrie Dritte" to Attack Position. "Valkyrie Zweite" attacks and destroys "Pitch-Dark Dragon". Since a monster he controlled was destroyed, Seto activates his face-down "Flat Lv 4" to allow both players to Special Summon one Level 4 monster from their Decks. Seto Special Summons "Y-Dragon Head" (1500/1600) in Defense Position while Zigfried Special Summons another "Valkyrie Dritte" (1000 → 1200/1600) in Attack Position.

Turn 8: Kaiba
Seto draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards. He then activates "Dimension Fusion" to pay 2000 Life Points (Seto 2400 → 400) and Special Summon "X-Head Cannon" (1800/1500) and "Z-Metal Tank" (1500/1300) from his Removed from Play Zone in Attack Position (both "Valkyrie Dritte": 1200 → 1000/1600). Seto activates "Soul Absorption". Now whenever one or more cards is removed from play, Seto will gain 500 Life Points for each of those cards.

Seto then removes from play his "X-Head Cannon", "Y-Dragon Head", and "Z-Metal Tank" to Special Summon "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" (2800/2600) in Attack Position (Seto 400 → 1900) (both "Valkyrie Dritte": 1000 → 1300/1600). "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" attacks and destroys a "Valkyrie Dritte" (Zigfried 4000 → 2500).

Turn 9: Zigfried
Zigfried draws "Nibelung's Treasure" and subsequently activates it to activate "Nibelung's Ring" from his Deck to Kaiba's side of the field, equipping "Nibelung's Ring" onto Kaiba's "XYZ-Dragon Cannon". Now the equipped monster can't attack, be Tributed, change its battle position or activate any effects it has. Due to the secondary effect of "Nibelung's Treasure", Zigfried draws five cards. He then Tributes "Valkyrie Dritte" in order to Tribute Summon "Fortune Chariot" (0/0) in Attack Position.

Zigfried then activates the first effect of "Fortune Chariot" to equip it to "Valkyrie Zweite". Zigfried activates the second effect of "Fortune Chariot" to halve the ATK of the equipped "Valkyrie Zweite" ("Valkyrie Zweite": 1600 → 800/1600) and allow it to attack directly this turn. "Valkyrie Zweite" attacks directly (Seto 1900 → 1100). Zigfried then activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy "Soul Absorption". Zigfried then Sets a card. On Zigfried's End Phase, the effect of "Fortune Chariot" expires ("Valkyrie Zweite": 800 → 1600/1600).

Duel concludes next episode.

Differences in adaptations[edit]

  • Cut from the dub is a sequence of children rushing home and many other people around the world getting together to watch the duel on TV at the beginning of the episode.
  • Cut from the dub are long shots of Kaiba's helicopter flying above the stadium, and the gang wondering what's happening.
  • At the beginning of the duel, Zigfried draws his cards first, then Kaiba draws his cards in the dub. In the original, Kaiba draws his cards first.
  • In the Japanese dub, after Mokuba cheers for his brother, Yugi notices that Zigfried's expression has changed. In the US version he doesn't notice this, and instead he says that Kaiba is still in trouble.

Mistakes[edit]

  • In the dub, the card lore of "Valkyrie Dritte" is replaced with the card lore of "Valkyrie Zweite". "Valkyrie Dritte" is shown being Level 5 and having 1600 ATK even though she is Level 4 and has only 1000 ATK.
  • In both versions, when Kaiba Summoned "Pitch-Dark Dragon" and Set "Flat Lv 4", he had no cards in his hand anymore, but at the beginning of his next turn he is shown with one card in his hand before he draws "Pot of Greed", draws two more, and then he only has two cards in his hand instead of three, with the formerly added card removed.

Featured cards[edit]

The following cards appeared in this episode. Cards in italics debuted here.

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ Zigfried activates "Mischief of the Time Goddess" as if it was a Quick-Play Spell Card, but the card itself as depicted in the anime lacks the Quick-Play Spell Card symbol.
