Duel RecapEdit

• 3rd Duel of the Battle City Quarter-Finals.
• The two Duel a Shadow Game. When a monster is destroyed, its owner will lose pieces of their memory: Mai loses Joey; Marik loses Strings and Arkana. Marik however, doesn't care and says that they are not worth remembering.
• Mai gets hold of "The Winged Dragon of Ra", but can't use it because her blood is not part of the Royal Egyptians and therefore, can't read the ancient text on the card.

Featured Duel: Mai Valentine vs. Yami Marik, Part 2Edit

Duel continued from previous episode.

Turn 8: Yami Marik
Yami Marik draws. He then Sets a card. Next he Normal Summons "Makyura the Destructor" in Attack Position (1600/1200). He then Activates Equip Magic Card "Black Pendant", equipping it to "Makyura the Destructor" and increasing its ATK by 500 ("Makyura the Destructor": 1600 → 2100/1200). "Makyura the Destructor" attacks "The Unfriendly Amazon", but Mai activates Trap Card "Amazon Archers", decreasing "Makyura the Destructor's" ATK by 500 ("Makyura the Destructor": 2100 → 1600/1200) (NOTE: In the OCG/TCG, "The Unfriendly Amazon" would not be a valid target for "Amazoness Archers"). "The Unfriendly Amazon" destroys "Makyura the Destructor" (Yami Marik 2350 → 1950). Since "Black Pendant" was sent from the field to the Graveyard, its second effect activates, inflicting 500 damage to Mai (Mai 4000 → 3500). Since "Makyura the Destructor" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Yami Marik to activate Trap Cards from his hand this turn. Yami Marik activates Trap Card "Rope of Life" from his hand, Special Summoning "Makyura the Destructor" from the Graveyard in Attack Position with 800 more ATK ("Makyura the Destructor": 1600 → 2400/1200). "Makyura the Destructor" attacks and destroys "The Unfriendly Amazon" (Mai 3500 → 3100).

Turn 9: Mai
Mai draws. She then Normal Summons "Amazon Chain Master" in Attack Position (1500/1300). She then Sets a card.

Turn 10: Yami Marik
Yami Marik draws "Holding Arms" and subsequently Normal Summons it in Attack Position (500/?). "Holding Arms" attacks "Amazon Chain Master". Due to the former's effect, it is not destroyed and all Battle Damage from the attack is nullified. Due to the second effect of "Holding Arms", "Amazon Chain Master" can't attack for three turns. Also until Mai's third End Phase, "Holding Arms" can't attack or be destroyed. Mai activates her Set Magic Card "Grave Arm" to destroy "Amazon Chain Master". This activates the effect of "Amazon Chain Master" (NOTE: The real effect activates only when the monster is destroyed by battle), allowing Mai to pay 1000 Life Points (Mai 3100 → 2100) (NOTE: The real effect requires 1500 Life Points) and add a card from Marik's Deck to her hand. She takes "The Winged Dragon of Ra". Since "Amazon Chain Master" has been removed from the field, the effect of "Holding Arms" is no longer in effect.

Turn 11: Mai
Mai draws. She then Sets 2 cards. Next Mai Normal Summons "Amazon Fighter" in Attack Position (1500/1300).

Turn 12: Yami Marik
Yami Marik draws. "Makyura the Destructor" attacks "Amazon Fighter", but Mai activates Magic Card "Amazon Spellcaster" to switch "Makyura the Destructor's" and "Amazon Fighter's" ATK ("Makyura the Destructor": 2400 → 1500/1200) / ("Amazoness Fighter": 1500 → 2400/1300). "Amazon Fighter" destroys "Makyura the Destructor" (Yami Marik 1950 → 1050). Since a monster's ATK got decreased, Yami Marik activates Trap Card "Card of Last Will"; letting him draw until he has 5 cards in his hand. Since "Makyura the Destructor" got sent to the Graveyard, Yami Marik can activate Trap Cards from his hand this turn. Yami Marik activates Continuous Trap Card "Scratch Wheel", targeting "Amazon Fighter". Now for every turn "Amazon Fighter" is on the field, "Scratch Wheel" will inflict 500 damage to Mai. Mai activates Trap Card "Dramatic Rescue", returning "Amazon Fighter" to her hand and Special Summoning "Cyber Harpie Lady" in Attack Position (1800/1300). Mai's hand contains "Amazon Fighter" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra".

Turn 13: Mai
Mai draws Magic Card "Graceful Charity" and subsequently activates it, drawing 3 cards and discarding 2. Mai's hand now contains "The Winged Dragon of Ra", "Gravity Bind", and "Elegant Egotist". Mai then Activates Magic Card "Elegant Egotist" to transform "Cyber Harpie Lady" into the "Harpie Lady Sisters" (1800/1300 for each). Mai then Tributes all three "Harpie Lady Sisters" to Normal Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" in Attack Position. However, it gets locked in a sphere of light, and she cannot use it because she cannot read the ancient text on the card.

Duel concludes next episode.

ErrorsEdit
