Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist - Duel 154

The Unexpected Card! is the 154th chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist manga and the 213th chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh! in the Japanese version.

Jonouchi gains the upper hand against Rishid (still impersonating Marik) in the second quater-final match of Battle City, when he Summmons the Trap-destroying "Jinzo!" Rishid, however, faces an even more dangerous challenge than Jonouchi's "Jinzo" when he draws the card that Marik put in his Deck.

Summary
Jonouchi Summons his "Jinzo" with "Graverobber," telling it that they're going to win this one together. The "Psycho Shocker" blasts several laser beams from his eyes, destroying all three of "Marik's" Trap Monsters. Rishid flinches, thinking that so this is "Jinzo," a high-Level monster with the ability to destroy Traps. To think Jonouchi had such a good card in reserve. Jonouchi laughs, pointing out that "Jinzo" is poison for Rishid's Trap Deck. Honda cheers, and Mai congratulates Jonouchi. Dark Yugi thinks to himself in satisfaction that it looks like Jonouchi's Deck's been strengthened quite a bit from all the Duels in Battle City. Jonouchi muses on this too, knowing that he would have lost had he not gotten "Jinzo" from Esper Roba. He's gotten stronger thanks to the guys he's fought.

He points out that it's his turn, attacking "Marik" directly with "Jinzo." "Jinzo" launches a blast of lightning at "Marik" with its "Brain Wave Energy Shock," reducing his Life Points to 1600, compared to Jonouchi's own 50. Jonouchi cheers, telling "Jinzo" that they need to do that just one more time. But "Marik" just chuckles, and he tells Jonouchi that that was an impressive comeback. He's very brave. Jonouchi is floored by the praise as "Marik" continues: Despite being almost out of Life Points, Jonouchi showed his pride as a Duelist by standing up to him. Jonouchi tells him to shut up; he knows "Marik" doesn't mean that. He reminds "Marik" that his brainwashing almost destroyed Jonouchi's friendship with Yugi. Jonouchi's going to beat him so bad he'll think a pyramid fell on his head. In spirit form beside Dark Yugi, Yugi tells Jonouchi that he can do it. Jonouchi ends his turn.

Rishid thinks that it's his turn and he draws. Marik asks Rishid if his eyes decieve him, or did he just take a wound from someone like Jonouchi?
