==Summary==
The first Duel of the [[Duelist Kingdom]] finals has concluded. [[Yugi Muto]] has defeated [[Mai Valentine]] and will be dueling the winner of the next duel, [[Joey Wheeler]] vs. [[Keith Howard|Bandit Keith]]. When Croquet asks both contestants to show their tournament entry cards, Keith shows the one he took from Joey. When Joey reaches for his, he can't find it. He has five minutes to find that card or he will be disqualified. Joey searches all over his room for it, but to no avail. He is just about to give up when Mai comes in and gives him her card. He arrives at the Dueling Arena just in the nick of time.

The first [[Duel]] of the [[Duelist Kingdom]] finals has concluded. [[Yugi Muto]] has defeated [[Mai Valentine]] and will be Dueling the winner of the next Duel, [[Joey Wheeler]] vs. [[Bandit Keith]]. When [[Croquet]] asks both contestants to show their tournament entry cards, Keith shows the one he took from Joey. So naturally, when Joey reaches for his, he can't find it. He has five minutes to find that card or he will be disqualified. Joey searches all over his room for it, but to no avail. He is just about to give up when Mai comes in and gives him her card. He arrives at the [[Dueling Arena]] just in the nick of time and presents Mai's card, to Keith's shock.
   
The Duel between Joey and Bandit Keith begins, and Keith is revealed to be using a [[Machine]]-[[Type]] Deck. Unknown to Joey, Keith's Machine monsters are immune to non-physical attacks, and when Joey's first attack fails due to this, he is left exposed and takes damage. Keith lures him into opening his defenses again by moving to Set a monster and "accidentally" dropping it. Joey recognizes it as a non-Machine and seizes the opportunity for a powerful magical attack, but [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and [[Ryo Bakura|Bakura]] realize that "[[Zoa]]" has [[ATK]] that is not only higher than its [[DEF]], but also higher than the [[ATK]] of any other monster in play. The only reason to [[Set]] a monster like that in [[Defense Position]] is as a lure.

The Duel between Joey and Bandit Keith begins, and Keith is revealed to be using a [[Machine]]-[[Type]] [[Main Deck|Deck]]. Unknown to Joey, Keith's Machine monsters are immune to non-physical attacks, and when Joey's first attack fails due to this, he is left exposed and takes damage. Keith lures him into opening his defenses again by moving to [[Set]] a monster and "accidentally" dropping it.

The only reason to Set a monster like that in [[Defense Position]] is as a lure.
   
But it is too late to warn Joey, who falls into the trap and takes heavy damage. Just as Keith prepares to deliver the final blow, his attack gets stopped, and everyone is thunderstruck to see that Joey also had a trap and just knocked out the strongest monster on Keith's field. On his next turn, Joey sets another card and announces that it is a Trap. He also begins a counterattack and taunts Keith in his inimitably grating fashion. Enraged at Joey's mockery and presumption, Keith attacks, but it wasn't a bluff, and it costs him the last monster on his field. With a handful of low-level monsters and his own dueling style, Joey has turned the duel into a neck-to-neck battle, but Keith knows that this duel is far from over. Will Joey defeat Keith and his mighty Machine monsters, or will he be eliminated and lose his chance to save his sister, [[Serenity Wheeler]]?

Revision as of 20:36, 14 December 2019

"Keith's Machinations, Part 1", known as "Cruel - Heavy Metal Deck" in the Japanese version, is the thirty-first episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime. It first aired in Japan on November 21, 2000 and in the United States on September 7, 2002.

The second Duel of the Duelist Kingdom Finals begins, with Joey Wheeler facing off against Bandit Keith and his near-invincible Machine Deck.

Summary

The first Duel of the Duelist Kingdom finals has concluded. Yugi Muto has defeated Mai Valentine and will be Dueling the winner of the next Duel, Joey Wheeler vs. Bandit Keith. When Croquet asks both contestants to show their tournament entry cards, Keith shows the one he took from Joey. So naturally, when Joey reaches for his, he can't find it. He has five minutes to find that card or he will be disqualified. Joey searches all over his room for it, but to no avail. He is just about to give up when Mai comes in and gives him her card. He arrives at the Dueling Arena just in the nick of time and presents Mai's card, to Keith's shock.

The Duel between Joey and Bandit Keith begins, and Keith is revealed to be using a Machine-Type Deck. Unknown to Joey, Keith's Machine monsters are immune to non-physical attacks, and when Joey's first attack fails due to this, he is left exposed and takes damage. Keith lures him into opening his defenses again by moving to Set a monster and "accidentally" dropping it. Joey recognizes it as a non-Machine and seizes the opportunity for a powerful magical attack, but Yugi and Bakura realize that the monster, "Zoa", has ATK that is not only higher than its DEF, but also higher than the ATK of any other monster on the field. The only reason to Set a monster like that in Defense Position is as a lure.

But it is too late to warn Joey, who falls into the trap and takes heavy damage. Just as Keith prepares to deliver the final blow, his attack gets stopped, and everyone is thunderstruck to see that Joey also had a trap and just knocked out the strongest monster on Keith's field. On his next turn, Joey sets another card and announces that it is a Trap Card. He also begins a counterattack and taunts Keith in his inimitably grating fashion. Enraged at Joey's mockery and presumption, Keith attacks, but it wasn't a bluff, and it costs him the last monster on his field. With a handful of low-Level monsters and his own Dueling style, Joey has turned the Duel into a neck-to-neck battle, but Keith knows that this Duel is far from over. Will Joey defeat Keith and his mighty Machine monsters, or will he be eliminated and lose his chance to save his sister, Serenity Wheeler?

Joey then activates "Salamandra" and equips it to "Flame Swordsman", increasing its ATK by 700 ("Flame Swordsman": 1800 → 2500/1600). "Flame Swordsman" attacks Keith's Set "Zoa", but Keith activates his face-down "Magic Metal Force" to transform "Zoa" into "Metalzoa" (3000/2300) in Attack Position.
