A shot of Joey getting all wound up is cut from the US version.
Note that the shot of Odion is reversed-his tattoo's on the wrong side of his face. 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.In the US version, " Giant Trunade" is shown traveling across the screen in front of Odion's face as he explains what happened.
Odion then activates his three face-down " Embodiments of Apophis" to Special Summon the three Trap Cards as monsters (1600/1800 for each) in Attack Position.ĭuel continues next episode. The attack made by "Rocket Warrior" strikes, but it misses. However Joey activates " Fairy Box" which hides "Alligator's Sword within a whack-a-mole box before the attack strikes. "Rocket Warrior" attacks directly, but Odion activates his face-down " Eye of Ujat" to redirect the attack to "Alligator's Sword". Joey draws " Rocket Warrior" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/1300) in Attack Position. Joey draws " Alligator's Sword" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/1200) in Attack Position. 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). Joey then activates "Giant Trunade" to return all Magic/Trap Cards on the field to their owners' hands, but Odion activates his face-down " Judgment of Anubis" to negate the effect of "Giant Trunade" and destroy it. He then Normal Summons " Hayabusa Knight" (1000/700) in Attack Position.
Joey draws " Tiny Guardian" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1400/1800) in Attack Position. Joey's hand contains " Giant Trunade", " Swordsman of Landstar", " Scapegoat", " Graverobber", and "Hayabusa Knight". Now Odion can activate Trap Cards the same turn they are set and Joey will only be allowed to activate two Magic/Trap Cards per turn. He then activates " Temple of the Kings". He then Normal Summons " Gearfried the Iron Knight" (1800/1600) in Attack Position. Like everyone else, Kaiba is convinced that Odion is Marik, and is determined to see Odion play The Winged Dragon Of Ra against Joey, in order for him to identify it's strengths and weaknesses to work out a strategy to defeat it so he can add it to his deck.įeatured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. However, while Joey does not have his Red Eyes in his deck, he does have other rare powerful cards to use against Odion such as Jinzo, Insect Queen and The Legendary Fisherman all of which he won from his Battle City opponents Espa Roba, Weevil Underwood and Mako Tsunami. Duke too is worried about Joey and questions Yugi if Joey took back his Red Eyes Black Dragon for the duel. Serenity is worried about her brother, but at the same time very excited to see him duel for the very first time in person. Joey realizes that the item in Odion's hand must be what Marik used to brainwash him. Before the duel, Odion shows off his fake Millennium Rod in order to keep up his disguise so that everyone is still convinced that he is Marik. Joey is extremely determined and eager to win the duel to get back at Marik for recently brainwashing him with his Millennium Rod and turning him against his best friend, Yugi, and to fulfil his promise he made to Yugi when he gave him his Red Eyes Black Dragon that he would help him defeat Marik. Joey is randomly selected to duel against Odion (whom everybody still believes is Marik) in the Battle City finals.
