"Duel Distractions, Part 2", known as "Human-Bullet Duel! Amazoness Death Ring" in the Japanese version, is the thirty-seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime.

Jaden Yuki Duels the third of the Shadow Riders, Tania.

Summary

After Bastion Misawa's defeat by Tania, the rest of the group camps outside overnight. Eventually Bastion emerges, and states that he had Dueled with Tania using each of his Decks, but had not won a single match. Unable to prove himself, she eventually kicked him out. The next day, Bastion is still depressed because he lost Tania. Jaden challenges him to Duel to cheer him up, but he declines. That night, they enter the coliseum again, and Jaden challenges Tania, who tells him they'll be married if he loses. Jaden chooses her "Deck of Courage" and the Duel begins. Tania's "Amazoness Arena" Field Spell Card allows both Duelists to pay 100 Life Points after a battle to inflict 100 damage to the opponent. Both Tania and Jaden constantly do so, both being extremely headstrong. Jaden eventually wins by using said effect when he had 200 Life Points, and Tania had only 100. Tania takes her true form, that of a White Tiger, and departs with her own pet tiger, Bass. Bastion finally returns to normal as well.

Jaden's turn

• Jaden draws "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/800) in Attack Position.

Tania's turn

• Tania draws "Amazoness Tiger" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1100/1500) in Attack Position.
  • Due to the effect of "Amazoness Tiger", it gains 400 ATK for every "Amazoness" monster Tania controls. She has two, so "Amazoness Tiger" gains 800 ATK ("Amazoness Tiger": 1100 → 1900/1500).
• "Amazoness Swords Woman" attacks Jaden directly, but Jaden activates "A Hero Emerges", forcing Tania to choose a random card in Jaden's hand. If it's a monster, Jaden can Special Summon it. Because "Elemental Hero Clayman" is the only card in his hand, Tania has no choice but to pick that card. Jaden then subsequently Special Summons "Clayman (800/2000) in Defense Position.
  • A replay occurs, and Tania uses "Amazoness Swords Woman" to attack "Clayman". The attack fails, but due to the effect of "Amazoness Swords Woman", Jaden takes all Battle Damage that Tania would have taken from the attack (Jaden 1100 → 600).

• Since "Amazoness Tiger" attacked a monster and it didn't destroy it, Tania activates "Amazoness Trainer", increasing "Amazoness Tiger's" ATK by 400 ("Amazoness Tiger": 1900 → 2300/1500) and allowing it to attack again.
• "Amazoness Tiger" attacks "Clayman", but Jaden activates his face-down "Clay Charge", destroying "Clayman" and "Amazoness Tiger" and inflicting 800 damage to Tania (Tania 900 → 100).
