Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 076

Major Events

 * Joey is under Marik's control. (Téa was also under Marik's control but she was released once the rules were explained and she unknowingly trapped herself.)
 * Both players are chained to an anchor above the Dueling site. When a player's Life Points reach 0, his opponent's key will be unlocked, allowing him to remove the chains. The loser is dragged into the sea forever.
 * If anyone attempts to stop the Duel, the crate above Téa will be released (it would most likely kill her, however, this is omitted in the dubbed English version, but the fact that this would happen was obvious).
 * Joey uses cards given by Marik.
 * Yugi takes over during the Duel.

=Featured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. Yugi Muto - Part 1=

Duel continued from previous episode.

Yugi's turn

Yugi convinces Yami to let him take over. He activates Magic Card "Exchange". Joey sees "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", which helps him fight Marik's control. Marik tells him to take "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", but he takes Magic Card "Card Destruction" instead. Yugi takes Trap Card "Magical Arm Shield". Yugi tributes "Big Shield Gardna" and "Kuriboh" to Tribute Summon "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" in Attack Position (2400 ATK / 2000 DEF). "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" attacks then destroys "Alligator's Sword" (Joey: 4000 → 2400 Life Points).

Joey's turn

Joey activates his last "Hinotama" (Yugi: 1500 → 1000 Life Points). Next, he Normal Summons "Rocket Warrior" in Attack Position (1500 ATK / 1300 DEF) then activates Magic Card Attrition. "Rocket Warrior" attacks "Red-Eyes B. Dragon". Because of its Card effect, its attacks decreases "Red-Eyes B. Dragon's" ATK by 500 ("Red-Eyes B. Dragon": 2400 → 1900 ATK) instead of being destroyed while reducing the damage to 0. "Attrition's" effect then decreases "Red-Eyes B. Dragon's" ATK by the amount equal to "Rocket Warrior's" ATK ("Red-Eyes B. Dragon": 1900 → 400 ATK).

Duel continues next episode.
