Summary

The duel between Jyonouchi (LP500) and the card professor, Mendo Cino (LP 3000), is continued. Although Jyonouchi has Psycho Shocker (2400/1500) on his field while Mendo has Deathscythe Killer (2300/1600) on his field, he seemingly doesn't have advantage. According to the effect of Mendo's magic card, Labor Pain, when a monster is summoned onto the field, each player must get direct 1000 damage points. Also, Deathscythe Killer has a special effect to increase its attack points by the attack points of a sacrificed monster. Moreover, by the effect of the field magic, Kamakiri Egg, a Baby Kamakiri with 500 attack points can be summoned onto the field in each turn. By this combo, Deathscythe Killer's attack points, therefore, can now become 2800 (2300 + 500) when Baby Kamakiri is sacrificed. Honda is now getting worried about Jyonouchi since his monster can't stand that kind of higher attack points at all. Mendo asks what Jyonouchi intends to do. Jyonouchi has no choice but ends his turn calmly. His desperate act really pleases Mendo who feels very confident by his victory in the next turn.

Mendo then changes his attitude a bit toward Jyonouchi. He admires him that Jyonouchi has done his best as a cheap duelist. Although he gets surprise a bit by the appearance of Psycho Shocker, he feels that the fun time is enough. He tells Jyonouchi to be prepared for the defeat. Now, turn is with Mendo. New Baby Kamikiri is summoned onto the field by the effect of Kamakiri Egg. Thus, there are now two Baby Kamikiri on the field. Mendo sacrifices two Baby Kamikiri, with 500 attack points each, to increase the attack points of Deathscythe Killer to 3300 (2300 + 500 + 500). Honda is getting more worried. If Jyonouchi is attacked by this great hit, he will be defeated immediately. Mendo then declares the attack of Deathscythe Killer, Deathscythe Hell, against Psycho Shocker. At this moment, Jyonouchi opens his reversed magic card, Right Hand Shield Left Hand Sword [ Right Hand Shield Left Hand Sword~ Migiteni Tate O Hitarite Ni Ken O - Magic: Change the points between attack and defense points of all monsters on the field]. According to this effect, Deathscythe Killer's attack and defense (3300/1600) points become 1600/3300 while Psycho Shocker's attack and defense points (2400/1500) become 1500/2400 respectively. Anyway, Psycho Shocker still has fewer attack points, so it is finally destroyed. Jyonouchi's LP decreases to 400 (500+1500-1600).

Mendo becomes more annoyed. He still says that Jyonouchi hasn't enough LP left to summon a new monster. Because the permanent effect of Labor Pain remains, the new summon requires 1000 LP as a tribute. Mendo tells Jyonouchi not to play for time. At this moment, Mendo notices a big machine appearing behind Jyonouchi. Jyonouchi tells Mendo not to be worried because the duel is gonna end shortly by his defeat. He suddenly opens his reversed trap card, Time Machine, to summon a monster with the attack points from the previous turn back onto the field [Time Machine ~ Toki No Kikai Time Machine - Trap: Special summon a monster with the attack points from the previous turn onto the field]. In other words, Psycho Shocker with full 2400 attack points is summoned specially back by this Time Machine. Since Deathscythe Killer's power is reduced by the effect of Right Hand Shield Left Hand Sword, it can't stand Psycho Shocker at all. Certainly, Mendo is getting surprise and doesn't expect Jyonouchi's great play in such a situation. Thus, Psycho Shocker destroys Deathscythe Killer by Cyber Energy Shock. Mendo's LP significantly decreases to 2200 (3000 + 1600 - 2400). Mendo hardly believes that he gets the damages from the cheap duelist while Jyonouchi and Honda become delightful.

Mendo's turn hasn't been finished yet. He then normally summons Guard Mantis in a defense position [Guard Mantis - 3/1000/2400]. Due to this summon, Mendo's LP reduces to 1200 (2200-1000) following the effect of Labor Pain. Jyonouchi returns the previous words back to Mendo; he is now also playing for time. Next turn comes to Jyonouchi. Drawing a card, he plays the magic card, Stop Defense, to change the mode of Guard Mantis into an attack mode [Stop Defense ~ Defense Shubi Fuuji - Magic: Select one of your opponent's monster and switch it to attack position. If the card is face-down, flip it face up. If the card has a flip effect, it is activated immediately]. Meanwhile, Mendo hardly believes again that Jyonouchi is merely a $500 duelist. Jyonouchi declares the last attack of Psycho Shocker against Guard Mantis at once. Therefore, Mendo's LP finally becomes 0 (1200 + 1000 - 2400), and Jyonouchi becomes the winner. At this point, Mendo has just realized that Jyonouchi is actually pretty strong. His tactics mean nothing to him at all.

Suddenly, loud and strange sound comes around. Honda points Jyonouchi to look outside. People are getting amazed by big Blue Eyes Jet of Kaiba. They understand that Kaiba has eventually returned from America. On the other side, Mokuba tells his brother that the radar can catch something coming after their jet quickly. Kaiba suddenly increases the jet's speed and changes its position so that he can see closer what that thing is. Apparently, it appears as a dragon. It is trying to protect the building and doesn't let them in. Kaiba then opens his jet and moves out. He claims loudly that this he and Mokuma create this Kaiba Corporation. It is the monument for the beginning of their dream. Thus, he won't forgive Tenma who uses the stupid dragon dirty his valuable thing. Kaiba draws his card and claims that he is going to show the real guardian dragon. Undoubtedly, Blue Eyes White Dragon is summoned and destroys the protecting dragon. After that, Kaiba lands his jet on the top of Kaiba Corporation. A card professor steps out and greets him. He is glad to see a famous rare card, Blue Eyes White Dragon and would like to test it with his [White Horns Dragon Deck]. Kaiba becomes more furious, saything that he has no time for any farce. Also, he tells the card professor to get out off his way. The card professor explains that this building is now totally controlled by Tenma Yakou. Kaiba can't definitely break through it. His option is either to win for the next step or to lose for the down step. Briefly, if Kaiba would like to go on, he has to draw a conclusion in a duel...
