− | [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] continues to Duel [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]]. Just as she's about to inflict the final blow and seal Joey's soul away forever, she suddenly hesitates and stops her attack. Mai can't understand at first why she is hesitating, as she thinks winning will mean she has finally stepped out of the shadow of Joey's success and keep him out of her way for good. Joey, exhausted by the previous Duel, collapses and declares Mai the winner. Mai rushes to him, memories of their friendship washing over her, and declares that she will not let his soul be taken.

Just as she's about to inflict the final blow and seal Joey's soul away forever, she suddenly hesitates and stops her attack. Mai can't understand at first why she is hesitating, as she thinks winning will mean she has finally stepped out of the shadow of Joey's success and keep him out of her way for good. Joey, exhausted by the previous Duel, collapses and declares Mai the winner. Mai rushes to him, memories of their friendship washing over her, and declares that she will not let his soul be taken. But Joey says its too late and, still protecting her, pushes her out of the ever shrinking circle. In the process, his hand catches on Mai's Orichalcos fragment and it gets removed, crumbling as the seal passes over it on its way to claim Joey. |
The scene changes to Dartz as Mai's fragment shatters, and he exclaims that Mai is now free. However, he senses a powerful soul has been captured for the Orichalcos, and is glad to have finally seized the soul of one of the "Chosen Duelists." | The scene changes to Dartz as Mai's fragment shatters, and he exclaims that Mai is now free.

She truly regrets what she's done. She realizes that blaming Joey for the loneliness she felt was wrong; she acknowledges Joey as the best friend that she ever had, and how did she repay him for all of his kindness? By leaving him for a madman who promised her power. Now free from Dartz's spell, Mai decides to go challenge him directly, determined to set things right and set Joey free. As she leaves, she picks up Joey's "[[The Claw of Hermos|Hermos]]" card from the ground where it fell before hopping on her motorcycle and racing toward Paradius Inc. Home Office. Once inside, she's confronted by a mysterious figure whom she seems to know. |
− | Meanwhile, "[[Eye of Timaeus|Timaeus]]" materializes from the Pharaoh's card and "[[Fang of Critias|Critias]]" leaves Kaiba's battle. The duo appear over the city, keening in lament and mourning the fall of their companion. Kaiba is surprised at Critias's behavior, brushing it off as a hologram malfunction and continuing to stubbornly ignore the truth he knows in his heart. | + | Meanwhile, "[[The Eye of Timaeus|Timaeus]]" materializes from the Pharaoh's card and "[[Fang of Critias|Critias]]" leaves Kaiba's battle.

One "[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]" attacks "Swordsman of Landstar", but Joey Activates "[[Double Magical Arm Bind]]" to Tribute two "[[Sheep Token]]s" and take control of two of Mai's "[[Cyber Harpie Lady|Cyber Harpie Ladies]]" (Two Cyber Harpie Ladies: 2300 → 1800/1300). Joey then activates "[[Vow of Tribe]]", which prevents any monsters that exist on both sides of the Field from attacking this turn. Because of that, "Cyber Harpie Lady's" attack on "Swordsman of Landstar" is negated. |

Since "[[Gilford the Lightning]]" was Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters, its effect activates, destroying all monsters on Mai's side of the Field. "[[Gilford the Lightning]]" attacks Mai directly ([[Mai Valentine|Mai]] 3600 → 800). |

The four cards Joey drew were "Gearfried the Iron Knight", "Magical Arm Shield", "Kunai with Chain", and "Knight of Dark Dragons". Mai then activates "[[Monster Reborn]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]" (1800 → 2300/1300) from her [[Graveyard]] in [[Attack Position]]. She then activates "[[Elegant Egotist]]" to transform "[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]" into the "[[Harpie Lady Sisters]]" (1800 → 2300/1300) in Attack Position. Mai then activates "[[Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation]]" to destroy Joey's "[[Gilford the Lightning]]" and last remaining Sheep Token and inflict damage to Joey equal to the total ATK of his destroyed monsters ([[Joey]] 3600 → 800), however no Harpie monsters can attack this turn. |

Joey then Normal Summons "Blue Flame Swordsman" (1800/1600) in [[Attack Position]]. He then activates "[[Dark Dragon Ritual]]" to Tribute "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" from his [[Hand]] and [[Ritual Summon]] "[[Knight of Dark Dragon|Knight of Dark Dragons]]" (1900/1200) in Attack Position. Joey then activates the effect of "[[Knight of Dark Dragon]]" to Tribute the latter and [[Special Summon]] "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" (2400/2000) from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] in Attack Position. Due to the secondary effect of "[[Knight of Dark DragonKnight of Dark Dragons]]", "[[Red-Eyes B.

Joey then equips "[[Blue Flame Swordsman]]" with "Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword", which increases the [[ATK]] of "Blue Flame Swordsman" by 1000 ("[[Blue Flame Swordsman]]": 1800 → 2800/1600). "[[Blue Flame Swordsman]]" attacks and destroys Mai's first "Harpie Lady Sister" ([[Mai Valentine|Mai]] 800 → 300). Joey then Sets two cards ("[[Kunai with Chain]]" and "[[Magical Arm Shield]]"). |

Since "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword]]" has been removed from the field, the ATK of "Blue Flame Swordsman" goes back to its original value ("Blue Flame Swordsman": 2800 → 1800/1600). Mai then activates "[[Spell Reproduction]]" to discard two [[Spell Card]]s and add "[[Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation]]" from her [[Graveyard]] to her Hand. |

"Blue Flame Swordsman" is destroyed, but Joey does not take any damage. Since "[[Blue Flame Swordsman]]" was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Joey activates its effect to Special Summon the original "[[Flame Swordsman]]" (1800/1600) from his Graveyard in [[Attack Position]] (NOTE: in the anime, "[[Flame Swordsman]]" is not a [[Fusion Monster]]). Since Mai activated "Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation", none of her Harpies can attack this turn, so she ends her turn. |

The boosted "Harpie Lady Sister" attacks Joey's "[[Flame Swordsman]]", but Joey activates "[[Skull Dice]]" to roll a die and divide the ATK of the boosted "Harpie Lady Sister" by the result. Joey gets a two, so "Harpie Lady Sister's" [[ATK]] is halved ("[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]": 4100 → 2050/1300). "Harpie Lady Sister" destroys Joey's "[[Flame Swordsman]]" ([[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] 800 → 550). Mai is about to order her second "Harpie Lady Sister" to attack Joey directly, which would lead to her victory, but she decides not to. However, Joey is unable to continue the Duel as he is too exhausted to continue. |

+ | ==Trivia== | ||
+ | * This is the only time a Duel fully shown on screen was won by the player who activated "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]". | ||
+ | ** Even then, it was only won through the other player essentially [[surrender]]ing, rather than having their Life Points reduced to 0. | ||
