Episode 153: My Freaky Valentine (2)

At the duel, the gang note Joey's situation but Yami tells Yugi of the Seal's weakness in which it can't capture a soul if there's no loser and while Yugi doesn't understand, they hope that Joey does. Joey studies his hand, then summons The Fiend Megacyber (2200) in Attack Mode, a Level 6 monster but with an effect that lets Joey play it without tributes if Mai has more monsters (specifically 2 or more because Joey makes it seem like your opponent could have 1 more monster than you do and you could play TFM by its effect). Joey's attack destroys a Harpie Lady and brings Mai's LPs down to 3600. Tea` doesn't understand what Joey is doing and isn't helped by Yami's explanation. Raphael maintains that Joey isn't going to win. Joey sets 1 card to end his turn. Mai hopes that Joey is done stating that the two of them are friends with her old self long gone, recalling another piece of how she joined Dartz's group. Mai draws, announcing that her victory is here.  Meanwhile, Duke arrives by car, eager to find out why Industrial Illusions is closed, leaving Weevil and Rex in a tangled mess (and I don't see any seatbelts there, Rex so your statement is moot). The trio arrive at the front gate and learn what's going on before Duke heads off to crack the security system.

Mai tributes 2 of her Harpie Ladies for Harpie's Pet Dragon (2000) in Attack Mode, getting 500 ATK from the Seal and 300 more ATK per Harpie Lady in play, putting its ATK up to 3400. She attacks but Joey activates Compensation Mediation, shuffling it with 2 cards in Mai's Graveyard and Mai sets them. Joey then picks one and if it's CM, he's still in the duel but if not, he loses the duel and his soul. Joey picks the middle card, which is CM so Mai's attack is stopped but Mai places the two cards she picked at the top of her deck. Mai then sets 2 cards and moves one of her Harpie Ladies to her back row. Joey draws and sets 1 card and 1 monster, then switches his TFM to Defense Mode to end his turn. Meanwhile, Duke is having no luck finding entry into the security room. Back at the duel, Mai draws and Joey activates Drop Off, forcing Mai to drop her card but Mai activates Trap Jammer (with slightly unedited artwork as shown at 12:58 into the US episode) to discard 1 card and negate DO's effect and destroy it. (The real Trap Jammer can only be activated against a Trap Card used during the Battle Phase and has no cost to use it.)

Mai draws, then sets 1 card (and if you have any brains, you'll know she didn't draw Harpie Phoenix Formation). Her attacks destroy Joey's TFM and reveal his face down Fiber Jar (500) in Defense Mode and destroy it but she counters its effect with Harpie's Feather Storm to negate its effect. (A card called Chivalry in the CG has most of this effect but different artwork.) Fortunately for Joey Mai has to end her turn. All Joey can do is draw, then set 1 monster to end his turn. Mai draws and uses Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation to destroy Joey's hidden Neko Mane King (0000) in Defense Mode, which has 0 ATK so Joey's LPs are unchanged and its effect makes Mai's turn end since it was destroyed with a Spell Card. Suddenly, as Joey gazes at his Duel Disk, his deck glows and he, Yami and Kaiba are transported to where Yami and Kaiba got their Dragon cards (though you don't see Kaiba).

Joey learns of what goes on here and he releases Hermos. Back in reality, Raphael's Orichalcos Stone reacts to an unknown source and Valon concludes Yami is behind it. Joey raises his card into the air, declaring that Mai is about to meet him.
