The Worst of Both Worlds is the thirty-second episode of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series and the tenth episode of Season 2.

DescriptionEdit

Card games: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Kuriboh. Its five year mission: To abridge strange and confusing duels. To seek out new gags and pop culture references. To boldly go where no limey has gone before. In this episode, Yami seduces another greenskinned alien chick. Or maybe he just duels a mime. It's hard to say.
