Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 106

Major Events

 * Nezbitt appears and plans to Duel Serenity. Knowing of her inexperience at Dueling, Duke and Tristan negotiate and get Nezbitt to agree to a 3 vs 1 Duel.
 * Each player starts with a five-card hand, 4000 Life Points, and a Deck Master. The sequence of turns is: Serenity, Tristan, Duke, Nezbitt, repeat.
 * Duke, Tristan, and Serenity are forbidden from discussing strategies with each other. Any player(s) breaking this rule falls into a sea of radioactive waste and is automatically disqualified.
 * This is Serenity's first and only Duel in the series.
 * Tristan opens himself to attack so that Nezbitt will focus on him instead of Serenity. This does not work, and he resorts to sending his own monsters to intercept Nezbitt's attacks. When he sends his Deck Master ("Super Roboyarou") into such an attack, it is destroyed, and he is taken.

Deck Masters

 * Serenity Wheeler: "Goddess with the Third Eye"
 * Duke Devlin: "Strike Ninja"
 * Tristan Taylor: "Super Roboyarou"
 * Nezbitt: "Robotic Knight"

Featured Duel: Tristan Taylor, Duke Devlin & Serenity Wheeler vs. Nezbitt, Part 1
Turn 1: Serenity

Serenity draws "Shadow Tamer". Serenity's hand contains "Scroll of Bewitchment", "Bad Reaction to Simochi", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Fire Princess", "The Forgiving Maiden", and "Shadow Tamer". Serenity Normal Summons "Shadow Tamer" (800/700) in Attack Position.

Turn 2: Tristan

Tristan draws "Cyber Commander". Tristan's hand contains "The A. Forces", "Double Snare", "Garma Sword Oath", "Launcher Spider", "Sengenjin", and "Cyber Commander". Tristan Normal Summons "Cyber Commander" (750/700) in Attack Position.

Turn 3: Duke

Duke draws "The 13th Grave" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/900) in Defense Position.

Turn 4: Nezbitt

Nezbitt draws "Giga-Tech Wolf" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/1400) in Attack Position. "Giga-Tech Wolf" attacks and destroys "Shadow Tamer" (Serenity 4000 → 3600). Nezbitt activates his Deck Master's ability, discarding 3 Machine-Type monsters ("Ground Attacker Bugroth", "Cyber Falcon" and "Oni Tank T-34") to inflict 500 damage to each of his opponents (Serenity 3600 → 3100) (Tristan 4000 → 3500) (Duke 4000 → 3500). Nezbitt Sets a card("Riryoku Field").

Turn 5: Serenity

Serenity draws. She then Normal Summons "The Forgiving Maiden" (850/2000) in Attack Position accidentally, intending to place her in Defense Position.

Turn 6: Tristan

Tristan draws "Block Attack" and subsequently activates it to switch "The Forgiving Maiden" to Defense Position, but Nezbitt activates "Riryoku Field" to negate "Block Attack and destroy it.

Turn 7: Duke

Duke draws "Yaranzo" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1300/1500) in Defense Position. Duke Sets a card.

Turn 8: Nezbitt

Nezbitt draws. He then Tributes "Giga-Tech Wolf" to Tribute Summon "Machine King" (2200/2000) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Machine King", it gains 100 ATK for every Machine-Type monster on the field. There are two Machines on the field, so "Machine King" gains 200 ATK ("Machine King": 2200 → 2400/2000). "Machine King" attacks "The Forgiving Maiden", but Tristan orders "Cyber Commander" to intercept the attack. "Cyber Commander" is destroyed (Tristan 3500 → 1850). With one less Machine on the field, the ATK of "Machine King decreases ("Machine King": 2400 → 2300/2000). Nezbitt activates "Card of Sanctity", allowing all duelists to draw until they have 6 cards in their hand. Nezbitt activates his Deck Master's ability, discarding 3 Machine-Type monsters ("Cannon Soldier", "Gradius' Option" and one unseen monster) to once again inflict 500 damage to each of his opponents (Serenity 3100 → 2600) (Tristan 1850 → 1350) (Duke 3500 → 3000). Nezbitt Sets a card.

Turn 9: Serenity

Serenity draws "Lady Panther" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1400/1300) in Defense Position. She then switches "The Forgiving Maiden" to Defense Position.

Turn 10: Tristan

Tristan draws "Command Angel" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/1900) in Defense Position (1200/1900).

Turn 11: Duke

Duke draws. He then Normal Summons "Dark Assailant" (1200/1200) in Defense Position. Nezbitt activates "Backup Soldier", returning "Giga-Tech Wolf", "Cyber Falcon" and "Ground Attacker Bugroth" from his Graveyard to his hand. Nezbitt then activates his Deck Master's ability, discarding the three Machines he just added to his hand to inflict 500 damage to each of his opponents (Serenity 2600 → 2100) (Tristan 1350 → 850) (Duke 3000 → 2500).

Turn 12: Nezbitt

Nezbitt draws "Clockwork Night" and subsequently activates it. Now all monsters that Duke, Tristan, and Serenity currently have on their side of the field become Machine-Type monsters and each of those monsters have their ATK decreased by 500 ("Lady Panther": 1400 → 900/1300) ("The Forgiving Maiden": 850 → 350/2000) ("Command Angel": 1200 → 700/1900) ("Dark Assailant": 1200 → 700/1200) ("Yaranzo": 1300 → 800/1500) ("The 13th Grave": 1200 → 700/900) while all Machines controlled by Nezbitt gain 500 ATK ("Machine King": 2300 → 2800/2000). Because Nezbitt's opponents now control 6 Machine-Type monsters, "Machine King" gains 600 more ATK ("Machine King": 2800 → 3400/2000). Nezbitt then activates "Short Circuit", switching all monsters on his opponents' side of the field into Attack Position. "Machine King" attacks "The Forgiving Maiden", but Tristan orders his Deck Master, "Super Roboyarou", to intercept the attack. This activates its Deck Master ability, allowing Tristan to Set 1 card("Rare Metal Soul") and increase the ATK of his Deck Master" by 1000 ("Super Roboyarou": 1200 → 2200/1200). Despite the increase, "Super Roboyarou" is still not powerful enough to beat "Machine King", so "Super Roboyarou" is destroyed. With his Deck Master destroyed, Tristan loses and his digital body falls into the radioactive pit below (NOTE: The difference in ATK would have caused Tristan to lose the Duel anyway.).

Duel concludes next episode.

Differences In Adaptations

 * As usual, there's a shiny light added to the US version where "Giga-Tech Wolf" bites "Shadow Tamer's" shoulder.
 * In the Japanese, Shizuka is shown being hit by the attack. This sequence is cut in the US version and replaced by the fall from later in the episode.
 * "The Forgiving Maiden" was redesigned in the US version to make her less nun-like.
 * Just like with Gansley and Crump, in the US version Nezbitt's face is added over his Deck Master.
