Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 037

Duel Distractions, Part 2, known as '''Human Bullet Duel! Death Ring of the Amazoness''' in the Japanese version, is the thirty-seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. Jaden Yuki duels the third of the Shadow Riders, Tania.

Summary
After Bastion Misawa's defeat by Tania, the rest of the group camps outside overnight. Eventually Bastion emerges, and states that he had dueled with Tania using each of his Decks, but had not won a single match. Unable to prove himself, she eventually kicked him out. The next day, Bastion is still depressed because he lost Tania. Jaden challenges him to duel to cheer him up, but he declines. That night, they enter the coliseum again, and Jaden challenges Tania, who tells him they'll be married if he loses. Jaden chooses her "Deck of Courage" and the duel begins. Tania's "Amazoness Arena" Field Spell Card allows both duelists to pay 100 Life Points after a battle to inflict 100 damage to the opponent. Both Tania and Jaden constantly do so, both being extremely headstrong. Jaden eventually wins by using said effect when he had 200 Life Points, and Tania had only 100. Tania takes her true form, that of a White Tiger, and departs with her own pet tiger, Bass. Bastion finally returns to normal as well.
