"'''Journey to the Duelist Kingdom'''", known as "'''Exodia Lost'''" in Japan, is the third episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' second series anime]]. It first aired in Japan on May 5, 2000 and in the United States on October 13, 2001.

[[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] attend the ferry to [[Duelist Kingdom]] with [[Téa Gardner|Téa]] and [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] who are sneaking onboard as well. Yugi and Joey meet some of Japan's top Duelists.

== Summary ==
[[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] is standing on the school rooftop, thinking about the events of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 002|the prior episode]]. He laments Pegasus' capture of [[Solomon Muto|his grandfather]]'s soul and wonders how he can win when Pegasus is able to see his strategies using his [[Mind Scan|strange power]]. He resolves to travel to [[Duelist Kingdom|Pegasus' island]] and win back his grandfather's soul. (In the dub, he instead wonders why Pegasus would have wanted to take Solomon's soul away, wondering if it has something to do with his [[Millennium Puzzle]].)

Meanwhile, [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] receives a videotape, which to his surprise is from his sister, [[Serenity Wheeler|Serenity]]. She tells him that she wants to see him "one last time", and that she does not want Joey to forget what she looks like. Joey flashes back to when they were separated six years ago. 

Upon returning to a now-empty [[game shop]], Yugi finds an envelope containing an invitation to a tournament at Duelist Kingdom. Yugi is informed that the boat for the Kingdom will leave in one week (two days in the dub) from [[Domino Pier]]. [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] notices the Glory of the King's Hand card, which refers to a huge cash prize, which intrigues Joey. (In the dub, the prize is explicitly listed as $3 million.) 

Afterwards, Yugi and Joey talk on the rooftop. Yugi recounts when he was first putting together the Millennium Puzzle and how he wished upon it for a best friend. Joey and Tristan were annoyed by Yugi's timidity, so Joey took a piece of the Puzzle and threw it into a pool. [[Tetsu Ushio|A bully]] offered to protect Yugi from Joey and Tristan, but after beating them up he attempted to extort a "bodyguard fee" from Yugi. He offered Yugi a chance to punch them, but Yugi refused, leading to his own beating. (In the dub, there is no fee, but the bully still beat Yugi up after he attempted to protect Joey and Tristan. The bully ended up expelled.) As thanks, Joey went back to the pool and retrieved the Puzzle piece he threw away, allowing Yugi to finish the Puzzle. Later on, Joey told Yugi about his new treasure - friendship. Yugi laments that Joey and the gang cannot come with him to Duelist Kingdom, but Joey tells him that their hearts will always be with him. (In the dub, Joey instead is determined to find a way to come with him, and gives a knowing grin.)

At Domino Pier, [[Kemo]] addresses the duelists chosen to participate in the tournament, who have been chosen through careful observation of their past Duels. Duelists attempting to board the boat must present their [[Star Chips]] to be granted entry; as a result, when Joey attempts to board without Star Chips, he is grabbed by two goons and escorted out. Yugi stops them and gives Joey one of his Star Chips, thus granting him entry into both the boat and the tournament. (In the dub, Joey was instead trying to sneak on board through the lower hatches.) Meanwhile, Tristan and [[Téa Gardner|Téa]] are able to sneak on board undetected by hiding behind some crates.

On board the boat, [[Mai Valentine]] notices Yugi and Joey standing by the ship's rail. Joey is attracted to her, but Mai ignores him and instead addresses Yugi, saying how it is impressive that a little boy defeated [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]]. She tells Yugi that no matter who her opponent is, she never shows any mercy. (In the dub, she instead tells Yugi to cut Joey loose, due to his lack of both fashion sense and dueling skill.) Téa comments on how they came because they were worried about Yugi and Joey, not to watch them flirt. (In the dub, she instead comments on Mai's arrogance.)

Later, Joey is upset at his sleeping accommodations, saying that a luxury ship should have nicer rooms. [[Weevil Underwood]] and [[Rex Raptor]] come in and explain that only duelists who placed high in the last tournament get private rooms. Weevil says that winning the [[Japanese National Duel Monsters Championship|last tournament]] did not feel like much of an accomplishment to him, and that he cannot call himself a champion until he defeats Yugi and Kaiba. Weevil tells Yugi a secret: there will be new special rules for the tournament that will require even more strategy than before. Rex says that he is not worried, as dueling is either "crush or be crushed". Weevil comments on the public room allowing for trading of cards and for duelists to figure out others' strategies. Joey starts trying to trade, to which Weevil says that anyone still trading cards on the way to the tournament has to be pretty desperate. 

Téa and Tristan are still hiding behind a crate. Téa says that she needs to relieve herself, but Tristan does not want them to be spotted and says that Téa should relieve herself over the side of the ship, to which Téa responds that she is not a boy. (In the dub, Téa is instead freezing, and Tristan offers solace by saying that in another few hours, the sun will rise.) Suddenly, they see [[Bakura Ryou|Bakura]] walk out onto the deck and wonder why he is there.

Meanwhile, Mai is upset at having to stay in a room without a shower. Rex offers Mai to come see his room, clearly attracted to her. Inside the room, Mai says she loves strong men, and challenges Rex to a duel. If Rex wins, Mai will do anything he wants. (In the dub, Mai will give him a kiss.)

Elsewhere on the boat, Joey shows Yugi the results of his trading. He traded for "[[Salamandra (anime)|Salamandra]]", "[[Kunai with Chain (anime)|Kunai with Chain]]", "[[Baby Dragon (anime)|Baby Dragon]]", and "[[Shield & Sword (anime)|Shield & Sword]]". Joey proclaims he is ready to win every duel he plays, to which Yugi responds it will not be that easy and gives him "[[Time Wizard (anime)|Time Wizard]]" to add to his Deck. 

Back in Rex's room, Mai claims that from a shuffled deck, she will be able to correctly guess which card is on top. To Rex's amazement, she successfully guesses the card four times in a row, claiming her "card skills" let her always know which cards she has and can pick the right one at any time. Despite this, Rex is still eager to duel Mai, with Mai adding the condition that should Rex lose, Mai gets the room all to herself. Mai wins the duel and kicks Rex out of the room rather forcefully, commenting on how easy the duel was.

Back on the deck, Weevil appears and asks Yugi if he traded for any good cards, to which Yugi says no, he will duel using the cards he brought. Weevil asks to see the legendary "[[Exodia]]" cards that Yugi used to defeat Kaiba. Weevil says that he had not been able to come up with a strategy to defeat them, until now, and throws all five cards overboard. He says that with them gone, no one can beat him. To Yugi's surprise, Joey jumps overboard in an attempt to get the cards back. Joey says that this is one thing he can do to help someone he cares about, flashing back to the video Serenity sent him. Joey manages to get two of the cards before being hit by a big wave, which prompts Yugi to jump into the water after him. Just as Yugi gets to him, Joey falls unconscious, and Yugi has to grab him, but they are saved by a rope ladder thrown down by Téa and Tristan. 

Yugi thanks Téa and Tristan for saving them, wondering why they snuck on board, to which Téa responds they were worried. Joey apologizes to Yugi for not being able to get more than two of the cards. Joey laments that he always fails to help others, and recounts how he was not even able to help Serenity, revealing that she was born with bad eyesight and is about to go blind - unless she gets an expensive surgery that Joey cannot pay for. Joey says that winning at the Kingdom and getting the prize money is the only way Joey can help her.

As the sun rises, the island comes into view of Yugi, Joey, Téa and Tristan, who are standing together at the helm. Yugi says that he and Joey will both do their best for their respective causes. [[Yami Yugi]] resolves to defeat Weevil first (this is removed in the dub).

== Differences in adaptations ==
* In the dub, when Yugi is on the [[Domino High School]] roof, he wonders why [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]] stole his [[Solomon Muto|Grandpa]]'s soul and what Pegasus wants with him, and vows to get Grandpa back.
* In the Japanese version, Yugi thinks Pegasus has the power to see into others' hearts. He wonders how he can beat this guy. But he has to do it. Pegasus has taken his Grandpa, and he must get back what is important.
* In the dub, when Yugi was on the Domino High School roof. Pegasus and Grandpa's faces were floating in the sky. In the Japanese version, it was just Pegasus.
* The writing on [[Tetsu Trudge|Ushio]]'s armband has been removed in the English version.
* Ushio is unnamed in the dub.
* In the dub, when Téa was on the ship, she was cold and Tristan says to her the sun will come up in a few hours.
* In the Japanese version, Anzu (Téa) needed to go to the bathroom so badly because there were no bathrooms on the ship. Honda (Tristan) tells her to pee over the side and Anzu replies "I'm not a boy!"
* A few shots of Téa needing to use the bathroom are cut from the dub.
* The background on "[[Shadow of Eyes (anime)|Shadow of Eyes]]" is changed in the dub.
* In the dub, "Shadow of Eyes" is a [[Trap Card]]. In the Japanese version, it's a [[Spell Card|Magic Card]].
* [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] sitting behind the table and a zoom in of her skirt is replaced in the dub with a shot of her cards.
* Cut from the end of the dub episode is a shot of Yami appearing in the sky telling Weevil that he's going down first.

== Errors ==
* When the guards are grabbing Joey inside the ship and Rex approaches, in the English dub Rex mouths something but doesn't speak. This is because in the Japanese version, Rex is asking what the noise is about.
* When Joey jumps in the sea to save the Exodia cards, and when Yugi saves him from drowning, he is briefly seen with his Domino High School uniform.
* Both versions show "[[Time Wizard (anime)|Time Wizard]]" as a Normal Monster when Yugi first presents the card to Joey, though the English dub fixes this error in the close-up shot.

== Trivia ==
* This marks the first episode to not feature dueling unless you count the snippet of Mai vs. Rex.
* This is the only episode that says "Last Time On Yu-Gi-Oh!" instead of "Previously On Yu-Gi-Oh!"
