Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 018

Arena of Lost Souls - Part 2, known as Shield in the Right Hand, Sword in the Left Hand, in the Japanese version, is the eighteenth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime.

Summary
The duel is not going very well for Joey. As long as Call of the Haunted is on the field, any Zombie-Type monster destroyed by battle is Special Summoned back to the field and has its ATK increased by 10% of its original ATK. He Normal Summons "Time Wizard", but fails using its effect, destroying all of his own monsters and taking away a huge chunk of his Life Points. Joey is continuously forced to defend, and Bonz raises his lead by summoning "Pumpking the King of Ghosts", which provides another 10% boost to all of Bonz's Zombies each turn. The carnage continues until Yugi and the gang arrive, having had to deal with a lot of traps to get there. However Zygor and Sid block them off, but Tristan quickly throws Serenity's picture to Joey and this reminds him who he is fighting for. However Bonz then sets "Stop Defense" and warns Joey on what his face-down card is and what its effect will do should it be activated. "Dragon Zombie" then destroys Joey's last defensive monster. Joey now begins to panic because as long as that "Stop Defense" card is still set, he can no longer defend anymore as it will switch his defending monsters into Attack Position. However Joey's friends encourage Joey to keep going as he shouldn't give up this duel with so much at stake. With this encouragement, Joey Normal Summons "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" and destroys "Pumpking the King of Ghosts", stopping the ATK increase of all of his opponent's monsters for good.

However, "Dragon Zombie" still destroys "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", taking out Joey's strongest card and leaving him with just 150 Life Points. Joey questions on what he can do now as the only monster he has left now is "Battle Warrior" which is too weak to destroy any of Bonz's monsters. However, Yugi figures out that the Zombie monsters have 0 DEF and tells Joey he has a card that can win the duel for him, though Keith disbelieves this to be true. Encouraged by this hint of a last chance, Joey draws, and he gets Shield & Sword, immediately recognizing it as the card Yugi was talking about. He figures out that if he activates this card, he can take out the zombies for good. He activates "Shield & Sword" right after Normal Summoning "Battle Warrior". This makes the ATK of all of Bonz's monsters 0 and makes "Battle Warrior's" ATK become 1000 which is enough to win Joey the duel. He attacks and destroys "Dragon Zombie" with "Battle Warrior", wiping out the rest of Bonz's Life Points. During the duel, they find out that Bandit Keith is the one who has been bossing Bonz around. Joey says he will one day face him. Joey now has eight star chips, meaning he only needs two more to become a finalist.

As the group approaches the cave's exit, Keith's gang blocks the entrance with a large boulder, too heavy for any of them to budge. Keith then beats up his minions and takes all of their star chips, getting a total of ten star chips. Though this was not what he originally planned, it's still fine by him, and he strides off alone, ready to enter Pegasus' castle.

Differences in adaptations

 * "Clown Zombie's" throwing knives are completely glowy in the US version.
 * Honda having fangs and veins coursing through his forehead when he is angry that the huge "boulder" was really a huge balloon is cut out of the US version.
 * In the original, when Keith took away his minions' Star Chips, punching can be heard in the background. In the US version, this is removed.
 * Like in the previous episode, Call of the Haunted is changed from a magic card to a trap card in the US version.
 * "Defense Paralysis" is changed from a trap card to a magic card and is referred to by its real-life counterpart's name, "Stop Defense", though it is still used as a Trap and retains "Defense Paralysis"' continual effect.

Errors

 * When Joey thinks about using "Time Wizard" to win previous duels, he says that it fossilized Rex Raptor's dinosaur, when it was actually "Red-Eyes B. Dragon".
