Episode 41: The Wrath of Rebecca

Still in the room, the group ask Bakura of Mokuba's status and head up, discovering that Kaiba's brother is fine. However, Kaiba has no idea whether or not Mokuba is safe like Yugi claims but is determined to find him. Croquet enters, stating that Pegasus' illness prevents him from attending but hands over a one-of-a-kind card called The Ties of Friendship and the check for the prize money. Tea` wonders if the other two souls were freed and sure enough, they are as Mokuba is reunited with Kaiba and Yugi's grandpa awakens. Yugi and Yu-Gi-Oh did it together but Yugi doesn't know his other half's name, which is given as "Yami" (and I'll use that until his actual name is revealed in Season 5's second half).

They hitch the only ride home with the boats already gone and discover a girl and her teddy bear standing before them, demanding the return of her Blue-Eyes White Dragon card. The gang haven't a clue who she is but she knows Yugi's grandpa's real name. She boasts being a true champion and Joey doubts it but Yugi puts some evidence to back up her claim (even then I wouldn't quite believe it until I dueled here, just to be 100% sure). She remains convinced that Yugi's grandpa is a thief and demands a duel. They arrive in Kaiba Land where duels are booked solid for months yet they manage to squeeze in a duel. Yugi decides to take up on the duel instead, stating of his grandpa's current condition to not be dueling.

Rebecca begins with Witch of the Black Forest (1100) in Attack Mode, a move Solomon has seen before. Yugi plays Celtic Guardian (1400) in Attack Mode and takes out WotBF, leaving Rebecca down to 1700 and consulting her teddy to find out her own card's effect (surely a champion doesn't need help to learn her OWN card's effects, Rebecca). She joyfully brings out Sangan (1000) in Attack Mode but is again distraught as her score drops to 1300 from Yugi's attack but it's short-lived after consulting her stuffed animal again and getting a brief argument from Yugi. At last, she gets serious, using Tribute to the Doomed on CG, destroying it by discarding 1 card from her hand (a stupid move, given that direct attacks for this season are forbidden).She ends her turn by setting 1 monster in Defense Mode.

Yugi brings out Summoned Skull and attacks, revealing Rebecca's face down Millennium Shield (3000) in Defense Mode. Oops! We can see at 15:45 that it's an Effect Monster but not so at this point in the Japanese version or the real card. It's also a WIND monster, which makes it hard to say whether that's an error too or simply a change on the card for the anime. Since SS' ATK is less than MS' DEF, Yugi takes the 500 point difference, bringing his score down to 1500. Solomon remembers playing this exact duel with Arthur Hawkins a long while back with nearly identical card plays.

Rebecca uses Ring of Magnetism on MS, lowering its DEF by 500 to 2500. (The real card also lowers ATK, in which case it couldn't be equipped to Millennium Shield unless it had 500 ATK to lose.) Yugi can't do anything during his next turn so she summons Cannon Soldier (1400) in Attack Mode (and for whatever reason, its ATK is shown at 400 at 17:23 into both versions of the episode despite having 1400 ATK on the card itself like the real card). Yugi attacks Cannon Soldier but is redirected to MS thanks to RoM's effect. Rebecca plays another Witch of the Black Forest, then tributes it for CS' effect, leaving Yugi down to 1100 (which must make CS' attack a direct attack but the real card just inflicts 500 damage to your opponent in exchange for your tributed monster). Rebecca reveals herself as daughter to Arthur Hawkins, a former friend to Solomon. She's convinced that Solomon stole her BEWD and Yugi is going to pay!
