Turn 7: Magnum
Magnum draws "Great Kite of Ninja" and subsequently activates it to equip the latter to "Ninja Master Shogun". Now "Ninja Master Shogun" is protected from attacks and Magic Cards. Also "Ninja Master Shogun" can attack directly if Magnum Tributes one of his monsters. Magnum then Tributes "Ninja Soldier Katana" to allow "Ninja Master Shogun" to attack directly this turn. "Ninja Master Shogun" attacks directly (Mai 1800 → 200). Magnum then changes "Kunoichi Ayame the Ninja Girl", "Ninja Commando Kabuki", and "Ninja Commander Ikusa" to Defense Position.

Turn 10: Mai
Mai draws. She then points out that "Great Kite of Ninja" prevents "Ninja Master Shogun" from defending Magnum's Life Points. All three "Harpie Lady Sisters" attack directly (Magnum 2100 → 0 → 0 → 0).

Differences in adaptations[]

  • The dub cuts a shot of Yugi and his friends walking down the street.
  • The dub cuts a shot of Mai being attacked by "Ninja Commander Ikusa", "Ninja Commando Kabuki", "Ninja Soldier Katana" and "Kunoichi Ayame the Ninja Girl" and her screaming is muted.
  • The dub cuts a scene showing Joey telling Mai Valentine to stop wasting time and to think about the finals. She says she knows! Then he tells her to keep fighting with their support.
  • The dub cuts a scene showing Serenity reminding her brother that he just said he was a big fan of Magnum's, and he says that was five minutes ago.
  • In the American version, Jean Claude talks more during the duel.

Errors[]

  • When Yugi mentions "Harpie's Feather Duster" in the dub, he says that it cancels out the effects of all Magic Cards. The card does not negate, but destroys, all Spell and Trap Cards the opponent controls.
  • When Magnum was explaining the effect of "Ninja Smoke Ball", he had three cards in his hand when he should only have two.
  • After Joey saves Mai by catching her and Magnum offers to help her up, causing her to slap away his hand, her detached sleeve is missing upon slapping him, but returns in the next scene.
