Duel Identity, Part 2, known as The Superb Legendary Warrior - Chaos Soldier Descends in the Japanese version, is the thirtieth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime. It aired in Japan on November 14, 2000, and in the US on August 31, 2002.
Summary
The Duel between Mai Valentine and Yugi Muto continues. Yugi is down to 300 Life Points while Mai still has all of hers. Yugi and Yami continue to struggle internally. Mai then explains that after losing her Duel with Joey, it made her realize that the reason why she cheated in her Duels was because she was afraid of losing and of trusting herself. She also says a Duelist can learn more from a defeat than from a victory. After the conversation with both Mai and Yami, Yugi realizes he has to face his fear as well, and finally lets Yami Duel without holding him back. Yugi uses Brain Control to take control of "Harpie's Pet Dragon". He then Tributes "Harpie's Pet Dragon" for the effect of "Catapult Turtle". This not only subtracts half of the Dragon's ATK from Mai's Life Points, but it also destroys Mai's "Mirror Wall". Yugi also realizes that "Shadow of Eyes" cannot affect female monsters, so he Summons "Mystical Elf" in Defense Position.
"Harpie Lady Sisters" alongside "Harpie's Pet Dragon".
However, Mai uses "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Harpie's Pet Dragon" back from the Graveyard and uses her "Harpie Lady Sisters" to destroy "Mystical Elf", wiping out his defense. Yugi draws "Swords of Revealing Light" and activates it, preventing Mai from attacking for three turns. During those turns, Yugi Summons "Kuriboh" and "Gaia The Fierce Knight". On the final turn, Yami draws "Black Luster Ritual"(Pegasus senses a sudden surge of power when this happens) and uses it to Tribute his monsters and Ritual Summon "Black Luster Soldier", which destroys "Harpie's Pet Dragon". Losing her most powerful monster and not willing to watch her "Harpie Lady Sisters" be destroyed, Mai surrenders. Because of that, Yami Yugi wins by default.
Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. Mai Valentine
Duel continues from previous episode.
Turn 12: Yugi → Yami
After a conversation with Mai, Yugi is finally convinced to let Yami duel. Yami Yugi draws "Brain Control" and subsequently activates it to take control of "Harpie's Pet Dragon". Yami Yugi then Sets 1 card and Normal Summons "Catapult Turtle" (1000/2000) in Attack Position. Yami Yugi then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to Tribute "Harpie's Pet Dragon", destroy "Mirror Wall", and inflict damage to Mai equal to half the total ATK of "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (Mai 2000 → 850).
Turn 13: Mai
Mai draws. She then activates "Elegant Egotist" to turn 1 "Harpie Lady" into 3 "Harpie Ladies" in Attack Position (2450/2100 for newly summoned "Harpies"). Mai decides not to attack as she believes Yami's Set card is a Trap Card.
Turn 14: Yami Yugi
Yami reveals his bluff by activating his set "Monster Recovery" which returns "Catapult Turtle" and his hand to his deck and allow Yami Yugi to draw five new cards. Yami's hand contains "Celtic Guardian", "Monster Reborn", "Griffore", "Kuriboh", and "Mystical Elf". Yami Yugi Normal Summons "Mystical Elf" (800/2000) in Defense Position. This monster is unaffected by the effect of "Shadow of Eyes" since it is a female monster.
Turn 15: Mai
Mai activates "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (2000/2500) from her Graveyard in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Harpie's Pet Dragon", it gains 300 ATK and DEF for every "Harpie Lady" on the field. There are currently three ("Harpie's Pet Dragon":2000 → 2900/2500 → 3400). "Harpie Lady Sisters" attack and destroy "Mystical Elf".
Turn 16: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws "Swords of Revealing Light" and subsequently activates it. Mai's monsters can not attack for three turns and all of her monsters must be face-up. Yami Yugi then Normal Summons "Kuriboh" (300/200) in Attack Position and talks about how to win the duel, which requires "Black Luster Soldier".
Turn 17: Mai
Mai draws. She then passes her turn. One turn has passed since "Swords of Revealing Light" was activated.
Turn 18: Yami Yugi
Yami's hand contains "Celtic Guardian", "Monster Reborn", and "Griffore". Yami draws "Polymerization". He then activates "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Gaia The Fierce Knight" (2300/2100) from his Graveyard in Attack Position.
Turn 19: Mai
Mai draws. She then passes her turn. Two turns have passed since "Swords of Revealing Light" was activated.
Turn 20: Yami Yugi
Yami draws "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress". He then passes his turn.
Turn 21: Mai
Mai draws "Harpie Lady". She then passes her turn. Three turns have passed since "Swords of Revealing Light" was activated. The effect of "Swords of Revealing Light" expires. This means that Mai is no longer forbidden from attacking.
Turn 22: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws "Black Luster Ritual" and subsequently activates it to Tribute "Gaia The Fierce Knight" and "Kuriboh" and Ritual Summon "Black Luster Soldier" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. "Black Luster Soldier" attacks and destroys "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (Mai 850 → 750).
Turn 23: Mai
Mai forfeits the Duel as she realized that she has nothing left that can destroy "Black Luster Soldier" and she doesn't want to see her "Harpies" be destroyed.
Yami Yugi wins.
Differences In Adaptations
- "Monster Recovery" and "Brain Control" are redesigned in the English version.
- When Yugi summons "Black Luster Soldier", Mai's cleavage is erased in the dub, however though, that is the only scene her cleavage is removed.
- In the original version it is Yami, not Yugi who is afraid to duel. Yami is afraid of losing the duel in the original version, whereas Yugi is afraid to let Yami duel in the dub.
- In the original, there is no conversation between Yami and Yugi about doing things in Yugi's way.
- The artwork of "Harpie Lady" was edited so it was less revealing.
- The spikes on the breastplate of "Cyber Shield" are removed.
- There is a small sequence in the original episode that is removed in the dub. In the Japanese, after Joey asks Yami Yugi what's going on and Tea calls out encouragement to Yami Yugi, Tristan notes that Mai's "pheromone cards" are very strong. Tea then makes an angry protest on "pheromone cards".
- The flashback of Yami and Kaiba's Duel was slightly changed in the dub to put more emphasis on Yami and Yugi's conflict.
Errors
- When Mai starts explaining why she lost to Joey, she has two copies of "Shadow of Eyes" and "Harpie Lady" on the field despite having only played one of each. Later on, it is shown that the second "Shadow of Eyes" was actually in the place of "Elegant Egotist".
- "Celtic Guardian", which is in Yugi's hand, is shown on his field (and Mai's readout of his field) just before, just after, and while he draws "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress" instead of "Gaia The Fierce Knight". Also, "Harpie's Pet Dragon" is shown as a normal monster.
- During the transition from the commercial break, Yami's score is indicated to be 1350 on his side of the arena, when we saw earlier that he was down to 300.
- Yugi states during this episode that with no monsters on his side of the field, Mai is free to attack his Life Points directly. However, this rule was not instituted in the anime until the start of the Battle City tournament.
- Mai was unable to summon her fourth Harpie Lady due to the effect of Swords of Revealing Light preventing it. In the first duel between Yugi and Kaiba, Kaiba was able to play Judge Man after Swords of Revealing Light was used against him.
