Once everyone is gone, the kid smirks and sneaks off to an alley. Weevil is waiting there, and when the kid reports that he did everything as planned, Weevil rewards him with a card. It turns out to not be a rare or valuable card (merely a "[[Gokibore (anime)|Gokibore]]"), but the kid's protests are cut off by a shot from a slime gun Weevil is carrying. Weevil then walks away smiling.

Still searching, Joey catches sight of Weevil and challenges him. Both of them have two locator cards, and each they wager both of them on the Duel. It becomes clear right away that Weevil hasn't lost his taste for Insect-swarming strategies, but Joey brings out his latest prize, "Jinzo". Unfazed, Weevil uses multiple defensive cards to increase his Life Points, and his score rises to 5700 before Joey breaks the combo. It is only now that Weevil announces that his plan goes beyond his cards so far; a parasite is already waiting to ruin Joey's monsters. After getting out "[[Larvae Moth (anime)|Larvae Moth]]" and equipping it with "[[Cocoon of Evolution (anime)|Cocoon of Evolution]]", Weevil activates "[[Reckless Parasite]]" to Special Summon "[[Parasite Paracide (anime)|Parasite Paracide]]" from Joey's Deck, and this is met with disgust and consternation from Joey and the others, as Joey doesn't keep any Insect-Type monsters in his deck. They quickly realize that the kid from earlier put the parasite card in Joey's Deck under Weevil's orders when he briefly took Joey's Duel Disk.

The situation gets worse when Weevil makes it clear that he is planning to Summon an ace monster to surpass the "Great Moth" he Summoned in Duelist Kingdom. He soon follows up his combo with "[[Insect Barrier (anime)|Insect Barrier]]" to seal off all of Joey's attacks and "[[Leghul (anime)|Leghul]]" to inflict Battle Damage to Joey directly through direct attacks whenever he wants. Joey can do nothing but buckle down in preparation, and all too soon, the cocoon opens, and Weevil Summons the "[[Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth (anime)|Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth]]". With nothing but low-level monsters and no ability to attack, Joey is in a tight spot, and Weevil only plans to make it worse.

[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] draws "[[Swordsman of Landstar (anime)|Swordsman of Landstar]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (500/1200) in [[Attack Position]]. He then [[Set]]s a card.

[[Weevil Underwood|Weevil]] draws. He then Normal Summons "[[Flying Kamakiri 1(anime)|Flying Kamakiri #1]]" (1400/900) in Attack Position. "Flying Kamakiri #1" [[attack]]s "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]", but Joey [[activate]]s his face-down "[[Shield & Sword (anime)|Shield & Sword]]" to switch the ATK and DEF of every [[Monster Card|monster]] on the [[Playing Field|field]] ("Flying Kamakiri #1": 1400 → 900/900 → 1400) ("Swordsman of Landstar": 500 → 1200/1200 → 500). "Swordsman of Landstar" [[destroy]]s "Flying Kamakiri #1" (Weevil 4000 → 3700).

Since "Flying Kamakiri #1 was [[destroyed by battle]] and [[Send|sent]] to the [[Graveyard]], its [[Card effect|effect]] allows Weevil to [[Special Summon]] "[[Flying Kamakiri 2(anime)|Flying Kamakiri #2]]" (1500/800) in Attack Position. On Weevil's End Phase, the effect of "Shield & Sword" expires ("Swordsman of Landstar": 1200 → 500/500 → 1200).

Joey draws "Jinzo". Joey then [[Tribute]]s "Swordsman of Landstar" to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]" (2400/1500) in Attack Position. "Jinzo" attacks and destroys "Flying Kamakiri #2" (Weevil 3700 → 2800).

"Jinzo" attacks and destroys Weevil's Set monster. It's revealed to be "[[Kiseitai (anime)|Kiseitai]]" (300/800). Since "Kiseitai" was [[attack]]ed while it was Set, its effect activates, skipping [[Damage calculation]] and [[equip]]ping itself onto the attacking monster, "Jinzo", as an [[Equip Spell Card|Equip Magic Card]]. During each of Joey's Standby Phases, Weevil will gain Life Points equal to half the ATK of the equipped monster.

Joey draws. During Joey's [[Standby Phase]], the effect of "Kiseitai" activates (Weevil 2800 → 4000). "Jinzo" attacks and destroys Weevil's Set monster. It's revealed to be "[[Skull-Mark Ladybug (anime)|Skull-Mark Ladybug]]" (500/1500). Since "Skull-Mark Ladybug" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, increasing Weevil's Life Points by 500 (Weevil 4000 → 4500).

Joey draws. During Joey's Standby Phase, the effect of "Kiseitai" activates (Weevil 4500 → 5700). Joey Normal Summons "[[Panther Warrior (anime)|Panther Warrior]]" (2000/1600) in Attack Position. He then Tributes "Jinzo" to allow "Panther Warrior" to attack this turn. "Panther Warrior" attacks and destroys Weevil's Set monster. It's revealed to be "[[Pinch Hopper (anime)|Pinch Hopper]]" (1000/1200). Since "Pinch Hopper" was sent from Weevil's side of the field to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Weevil to Special Summon "[[Larvae Moth (anime)|Larvae Moth]]" (500/400) in Attack Position.

Weevil draws. He then activates "[[Cocoon of Evolution (anime)|Cocoon of Evolution]]", equipping it onto "Larvae Moth" and making the ATK and DEF of "Larvae Moth" the same as the ATK and DEF of "Cocoon of Evolution" ("Larvae Moth": 500/400 → 0/2000).

Weevil then activates "[[Reckless Parasite]]" to Special Summon "[[Parasite Paracide (anime)|Parasite Paracide]]" from Joey's Deck to his side of the field (500/300) in [[Attack Position]]. Due to the effect of "Reckless Parasite", all monsters Joey controls are treated as Insect-Type, and it also prevents Joey from Tributing any Insect-Type monsters he controls. Joey figures out the kid from earlier must have slipped "Parasite Paracide" into his Deck when he stole his Duel Disk. Weevil Sets a card.

Joey draws. He then Normal Summons "[[Little-WinguardTiny Guardian]]" (1400/1800) in Attack Position. "Little-WinguardTiny Guardian" attacks "Cocoon of Evolution", but Weevil activates his face-down "[[Insect Barrier (anime)|Insect Barrier]]" to prevent Insect-Type monsters that Joey controls from attacking. The attack made by "Little-Winguard" is negated as it's currently an Insect-type monster.

Weevil draws "[[Leghul (anime)|Leghul]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (300/350) in Attack Position. "Leghul" attacks [[Direct Attack|directly]] via its own effect (Joey 4000 → 3700).

Joey switches "Panther Warrior", "Parasite Paracide", and "Little-WinguardTiny Guardian" to Defense Position.

Joey draws "[[Alligator's Sword (anime)|Alligator's Sword]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/1200) in Defense Position. Joey then Sets a card.

Weevil draws. During Weevil's Standby Phase, Weevil Tributes "Larvae Moth" in order to Special Summon "[[Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth (anime)|Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth]]" (3500/3000) in Attack Position.
