SummeryEdit

The start of the next Duel of the Battle City Finals is about to begin. Joey Wheeler is selected to face against Odion Ishtar, who has tricked everyone into thinking that he is in fact Marik Ishtar. For the purposes of the duel, Marik has placed a copy of the "Winged Dragon of Ra" card into Odion's Deck.

Featured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. Odion Ishtar, Part 1Edit

Turn 1: Joey
Joey draws. He then Normal Summons "Gearfried the Iron Knight" in Attack Position (1800/1600).

Turn 2: Odion
Odion draws. He then activates Field Magic Card "Temple of the Kings". Now Odion can activate Trap Cards the same turn they are set and Joey will only be allowed to activate 2 Magic/Trap Cards per turn. Odion then Sets 2 cards.

Turn 3: Joey
Joey's hand contains "Giant Trunade", "Swordsman of Landstar", "Scapegoat", "Graverobber", and "Hayabusa Knight". Joey plans to get three monsters onto his side of the field by the next turn. Once Odion gets two more set Magic and Trap Cards out onto his field, Joey would then activate "Giant Trunade" to get rid of all of Odion's Magic and Trap Cards. This would allow Joey's monsters to attack Odion directly and win him the Duel. Joey draws "Tiny Guardian" and subsequently Normal Summons it in Attack Position (1400/1800).

(NOTE: In the real game "Tiny Guardian" is called "Little-Winguard").

Turn 4: Odion
Odion draws. He then Sets 2 cards.

Turn 5: Joey
Joey draws. He then Normal Summons "Hayabusa Knight" in Attack Position (1000/700). Activates Magic Card "Giant Trunade" which will return all Magic/Trap Cards on the field to their owners' hands, but Odion activates Counter Trap Card "Judgment of Anubis" to negate the effect of "Giant Trunade" and destroy it. After that happens the second effect of "Judgment of Anubis" activates, destroying every monster Joey controls and inflicting damage to Joey equal to half the total ATK of his destroyed monsters (Joey 4000 → 1900).

Turn 6: Odion
Odion draws. He then Sets 2 cards.

Turn 7: Joey
Joey draws "Alligator's Sword" and subsequently Normal Summons it in Attack Position (1500/1200). Joey then Sets 1 card.

Turn 8: Odion
Odion draws. He then passes.

Turn 9: Joey
Joey draws. He then passes.

Turn 10: Odion
Odion draws. He then passes.

Turn 11: Joey
Joey draws "Rocket Warrior" and subsequently Normal Summons it in Attack Position (1500/1300). "Rocket Warrior" attacks Odion directly, but Odion activates Trap Card "Eye of Wdjat" to redirect the attack to "Alligator's Sword". However Joey activates his set Quick-Play Magic Card "Fairy Box" which hides "Alligator's Sword within a whack-a-mole box before the attack strikes. "Rocket Warrior's" attack strikes, but the attack misses, so "Alligator's Sword" is safe. The whack-a-mole box then disappears. Odion activates 3 Continuous Trap Cards "Embodiment of Apophis" to Special Summon them in Attack Position (1600/1800 for each).

Duel continues next episode.

Changes to the English Version Edit

• In the US version, "Giant Trunade" is shown traveling across the screen in front of Odion's face as he explains what happened.

• Right after Mai's close-up, a shot of Odion looking fierce in the US version replaces a shot of Yugi, Mai and Tea's backs. Note that the shot of Odion is reversed—his tattoo's on the wrong side of his face.

• A shot of Joey getting all wound up is cut from the US version.

• A shot of the gang reacting to Jounouchi's boasts is cut from the US version.

• The words "To Be Continued" are added at the end of the dub episode.

Errors

• After Judgement of Anubis is played when the camera zooms out, Yugi's head looks smaller.
