| + | =Summary= |
| − | | |
| − | {{Episode summary|Before the [[Battle City]] semi-finals can commence, [[Seto Kaiba]]'s blimp is suddenly commandeered by a mysterious boy named [[Noah Kaiba|Noah]], who seems to know Kaiba personally and reveals that he has forged an alliance with Kaiba's old foes, [[The Big Five]].}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Summary==
| |
| − | The [[KaibaCorp]] blimp is en route to [[KaibaCorp Island]] when the autopilot is hacked and it suddenly changes course. A mysterious boy calling himself [[Noah Kaiba|Noah]] communicates through a video message, claiming to be in control and appearing to know a lot about [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] despite Kaiba never having met him. The blimp docks in a fortress emerging from the ocean and is locked down by magnetic anchors.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Noah forces the gang (Kaiba, [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]], [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]], [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]], [[Téa Gardner|Téa]], [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]], [[Duke Devlin|Duke]] and [[Serenity Wheeler|Serenity]]) into the [[giant moving fortress]]. There they encounter some old foes — KaibaCorp's former board of directors, The Big Five, who inform them that after they were defeated in ''[[Duel Monsters]]'' by Kaiba and Yugi, their bodies had been destroyed and their minds trapped in cyberspace, at the end of the ''[[Legendary Heroes]]'' quest. Noah had later hacked into KaibaCorp's mainframe and uploaded The Big Five's minds into his own [[Noah's Virtual World|virtual world]] so they could team up and take revenge on Kaiba.
| + | The [[KaibaCorp]] blimp is en route to [[KaibaCorp]] Island (Alcatraz in the Japanese Version) when it suddenly changes course to a fortress that is run by a mysterious boy named [[Noah]]. The blimp docks inside the fortress and is locked down by magnetic anchors. |
| | | | |
| − | The Big Five propose a challenge to Yugi, Kaiba and the rest of the group: a ''Duel Monsters'' tournament within the virtual world. If any of the gang loses a Duel to one of The Big Five, the winner will gain control of their body and escape to the real world while the loser's mind will be trapped in the virtual world.
| + | While inside the fortress, [[Seto Kaiba]], [[Yugi Muto]] and the rest of the group encounter some old foes— [[KaibaCorp]]'s former Board of Directors, [[The Big Five]], who inform them that they are now part of [[Noah]]'s [[Virtual World]] after their last battle with [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] and [[Yugi]] had destroyed their bodies when [[Five-Headed Dragon]] was also destroyed (at the end of the [[Legendary Heroes]] mini-arc). |
| | | | |
| − | For the tournament, The Big Five introduce a new set of rules where each duelist has a [[Deck Master]]. The group are briefly sent to a preview of the virtual world so they can watch a virtual Duel between a virtual duplicate of Kaiba and "[[Total Defense Shogun (anime)|Total Defense Shogun]]" using the Deck Master system. The Big Five explain the rule of an automatic loss if a Duelist's Deck Master is destroyed. To put the odds further in their favor, The Big Five declare that they will be Dueling everyone currently present before them; this includes the non-Duelists; Tristan, Téa, and Serenity.
| + | Now, they propose a challenge to [[Yugi]], [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] and the rest of the group: In order to escape from [[Noah]]'s [[Virtual World]], [[The Big Five]] each need to be in possession of a body and offer each of them a challenge to [[Duel]]. If any of them lose a [[Duel]] to one of [[The Big Five]], that person will gain control of their body. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Featured Duel: Simulated Seto Kaiba vs. Total Defense Shogun==
| + | They explain the new [[Deck Master]] system to the group by having them watch a virtual duel between [[Seto]] and [[Total Defense Shogun]], finishing with the rule of an automatic loss if the [[Deck Master]] you choose is destroyed. And, to even the odds in their favor, [[The Big Five]] declare that they will be [[duel]]ing everyone currently present before them. |
| − | ===Deck Masters===
| |
| − | * Simulated [[Seto Kaiba]]: "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]"
| |
| − | * [[Total Defense Shogun (anime)|Total Defense Shogun]]: Itself
| |
| | | | |
| − | <u>'''Turn 1: Simulated Kaiba'''</u><br />
| + | And thus, the [[Virtual World]] arc begins... |
| − | Simulated Kaiba [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Lord of D. (anime)|Lord of Dragons]]" (1200/1100) in Attack Position. He then [[activate]]s "[[The Flute of Summoning Dragon (anime)|The Flute of Summoning Dragon]]" to [[Special Summon]] two "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" from his hand (3000/2500 for both) in Attack Position. Next Simulated Kaiba moves his [[Deck Master]], "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to the field (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Simulated Kaiba then activates "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" to fuse his three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" together and [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" (4500/3800) in Attack Position. The latter monster now becomes Simulated Kaiba's new Deck Master. Due to the [[Deck Master Abilities|Deck Master ability]] of Simulated Kaiba's Deck Master, it can [[attack]] in the [[turn]] it is [[Fusion Summon|summoned]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" attacks [[directly]], but "Total Defense Shogun" activates its own Deck Master ability, [[pay]]ing 1000 [[Life Points]] (Total Defense Shogun 4000 → 3000) to [[negate]] the attack and [[destroy]] "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". (The mention of paying Life Points is removed from the English dub.) Since his Deck Master was destroyed, Simulated Kaiba automatically loses the [[Duel]].

| |
| − | *A scene removed from the dub shows Yugi wondering about how much Kaiba hates his father.

| |
