Katsuya Jonouchi and Ryota Kajiki's Duel (manga)

Katsuya Jonouchi and Ryota Kajiki faced each other in a game of Duel Monsters, during the Battle City tournament.

Prior
While the Battle City preliminaries typically took place in the Domino City streets, Ryota went into the Domino City Aquarium, having a keen interest in fish and never been to an aquarium before.

While searching for an opponent, Jonouchi used the Duelist search sensor in his Duel Disk to find other active Duel Disks within 50 m. This led, him and his companions Anzu Mazaki and Sugoroku Mutou to Ryota at the aquarium.

Jonouchi approached Ryota at the killer whale pool and challenged him to a Duel. The audience who were there to see a killer whale show were confused as to what was going on and some assumed that the two Duelists must be an opening act. Jonouchi was happy to have an audience to show off to. As they each had four Puzzle Cards, Ryota suggested that they bet two each, so that the winner would qualify for the finals. Jonouchi agreed and proposed that also bet two rare cards each. Jonouchi wagered "Jinzo" and "Insect Queen", while Ryota gambled "Leviathan" and "Fortress Whale".

Ryota had heard a rumor that Jonouchi got far in Duelist Kingdom by pure luck and hoped to find out how good he really was.

Duel
1st turn: Jonouchi

Jonouchi Set "Chasm of Spikes" and Summoned "Swordsman of Landstar" in Defense Mode. He planed on using "Chasm of Spikes" on any monster Ryota tried attacking with and then Sacrificing "Swordsman of Landstar" for "Giltia the D. Knight" next turn.

2nd turn: Ryota

Cautious of Jonouchi's face-down card, Ryota decided not to rush things and played "Flying Fish" in Defense Mode and Set "Torrential Tribute".

3rd turn: Jonouchi

Jonouchi drew "Parasite Paracide", having forgot to take it out of his Deck, following his Duel with Insector Haga.

Without looking at the card he drew, Jonouchi Sacrificed "Swordsman of Landstar" for "Giltia". He then noticed "Parasite Paracide" which had Summoned itself onto his side of the field and infected "Giltia". Ryota remarked that he did not know Jonouchi liked such gross cards. As the audience laughed, Anzu and Sugoroku were embarrassed by Jonouchi's mistake. Finally Ryota activated "Torrential Tribute", destroying both "Giltia" and the parasite.
