Notes

When Joey attacks Zigfried's "Valkyrie Erste" with his "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" (second-to-last turn of the episode), the English Dub is poorly translated.
- In the Dub, Joey says "Fine. Alright Red-Eyes, you get rid of her! With Inferno Fire Blast", clearly referring to "Valkyrie Brünnhilde" (which had been previously attacked by Joey's "Maximum Six", but had avoided destruction thanks to its special effect).
- In the original Japanese, the attack target is correctly referred to as "the other Valkyrie" (i.e. Erste).
The screen displaying the Duel results in the Japanese version reads 'Jyounouchi' instead of 'Jounouchi'.

Results from other Quarter-Final Duels are displayed in this episode:

Featured Duel: Joey Wheeler vs. Zigfried Lloyd

Duel continues from previous episode.

Turn 6: Zigfried

Zigfried has just activated Spell Card "Ride of The Valkyries", Special Summoning as many Valkyrie monsters as possible from his hand. He Special Summons 4 Valkyrie monsters from his hand: three "Valkyrie Zwei" (1600/1600) and one "Valkyrie Erste" (1600/1800) are summoned in Attack Position.
- Since the first "Valkyrie Zwei" was summoned, its effect activates, destroying Joey's "Jinzo".
Zigfried activates "Valkyrie Erste's" effect, removing the "Jinzo" in Joey's Graveyard from play to increase the ATK of "Valkyrie Erste" by the ATK of "Jinzo" until the End Phase ("Valkyrie Erste": 1600 → 2400/1800).
The three "Valkyrie Zwei" and "Valkyrie Erste" attack Joey directly, but Joey activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Hyper Refresh", doubling his Life Points before Damage Calculation since the combined ATK of all Attack Position monsters Zigfried controls is higher than his Life Points (Joey 4000 → 8000). The attacks continue, but Joey survives the attacks made by Zigfried's monsters (Joey 8000 → 5600 → 4000 → 2400 → 800).
Sets a card.
On Zigfried's End Phase, all Valkyrie monsters that Zigfried summoned via "Ride of the Valkyries" return to his Deck.

Turn 7: Joey

Joey draws.
Normal Summons "Swordsman of Landstar" (500/1200) in Attack Position.
"Swordsman of Landstar" attacks Zigfried directly, but Zigfried activates his Trap Card "Fricka's Mediation", removing the "Wotan's Judgment" in his Graveyard from play to reduce the Battle Damage he takes this turn to 0.
Sets a card("Graceful Dice").

Turn 8: Zigfried

Zigfried draws the Spell Card "Nibelung's Treasure" and subsequently activates it, choosing one Spell Card from his Deck and activating it on his opponent's side of the field. Zigfried uses the effect of "Nibelung's Treasure" to activate Equip Spell Card "Nibelung's Ring" from his Deck onto Joey's side of the field, equipping "Nibelung's Ring" onto Joey's "Swordsman of Landstar". Now the equipped monster can't attack or be Tributed and any effects it has will be negated. Also Joey will draw two cards during each of his Draw Phases instead of conducting a normal Draw during his Draw Phase. If Joey has drawn any monsters through the effect of "Nibelung's Ring", then he must send one of the drawn monsters to the Graveyard.
- "Nibelung's Treasure's" secondary effect activates, allowing Zigfried to draw 5 cards.
Activates three Continuous Spell Card's "Goddess Urd's Verdict", "Goddess Verdandi's Guidance", and "Goddess Skuld's Oracle". Now once a turn, Zigfried can use "Goddess Skuld's Oracle" to look at the top three cards of Joey's Deck and rearrange them to however he wishes. Also once a turn, Zigfried can use "Goddess Verdandi's Guidance" to guess the card type of the top card of Joey's Deck. If he is correct, Joey must set the top card of his Deck face-down on his side of the field. In addition, Zigfried can use the effect of "Goddess Urd's Verdict" once a turn to select one of Joey's set cards and guess what that card is. If he is correct, then the set card will be removed from play.
Activates "Goddess Skuld's Oracle's" effect, looking at the top three cards of Joey's deck("Knight of Dark Dragons", "Panther Warrior" and "Dangerous Machine Type-6") and rearranging them. "Panther Warrior" is placed on top.
- Activates "Goddess Verdandi's Guidance's" effect, guessing "Monster Card". It is correct, so Joey Special Summons "Panther Warrior" in face-down Defense Position.
  - Activates "Goddess Urd's Verdict's" effect, targeting Joey's face-down card and guessing "Panther Warrior". It is correct, so "Panther Warrior" is removed from play.

Turn 9: Joey

Instead of a normal Draw Phase, "Nibelung's Ring" forces Joey to draw two cards ("Knight of Dark Dragon" and "Dangerous Machine Type-6"). If any monsters are drawn, one must be discarded to the Graveyard. Joey discards "Knight of Dark Dragons".
Activates Continuous Spell Card "Dangerous Machine Type-6". Now during each of Joey's Standby Phases, Joey can roll a die and then he can activate an appropriate effect of "Dangerous Machine Type-6", depending on the result. If it's a one, Joey must discard one card. If it's a two, Zigfried must discard one card. If it's a three, Joey can draw one card. If it's a four, Zigfried can draw one card. If it's a five, Joey can destroy one monster Zigfried controls. If it's a six, Joey must destroy "Dangerous Machine Type-6".

Turn 10: Zigfried

Zigfried draws.
Activates "Goddess Skuld's Oracle's" effect, looking at the top three cards of Joey's deck("Grappler of Landstar", "Goblin Attack Force", and "Sasuke Samurai") and rearranging them. "Goblin Attack Force" is placed on top.
- Activates "Goddess Verdandi's Guidance's" effect, guessing "Monster Card". It is correct, so Joey Special Summons "Goblin Attack Force" in face-down Defense Position.
  - Activates "Goddess Urd's Verdict's" effect, targeting Joey's face-down card and guessing "Goblin Attack Force". It is correct, so "Goblin Attack Force" is removed from play.
Sets a card.

Turn 11: Joey

Instead of a normal Draw Phase, "Nibelung's Ring" forces Joey to draw two cards ("Grappler of Landstar" and "Sasuke Samurai"): if any monsters are drawn, one must be discarded to the Graveyard. Joey discards "Grappler of Landstar".
Activates "Dangerous Machine Type-6's" effect on the Standby Phase, rolling a die. Joey rolls a 3, which enables him to draw 1 card.
Summons "Sasuke Samurai" (500/800) in Attack Position.
Zigfried activates Trap Card "Loge's Flame". Now any monsters with 2000 ATK or less can't attack. When "Loge's Flame" is removed from the field, Zigfried can Special Summon "Valkyrie Brünnhilde" from his hand or Deck.
Joey activates Quick-Play Spell Card "Graceful Dice", rolling a die. Joey gets a 3, so the ATK of "Sasuke Samurai" is tripled until the End Phase ("Sasuke Samurai": 500 → 1500/800). It is still not sufficient to overcome "Loge's Flame's" effect however.
Sets a card ("Silver Dollar").
On Joey's End Phase, the effect of "Graceful Dice" wears off ("Sasuke Samurai": 1500 → 500/800).

Turn 12: Zigfried

Zigfried draws.
Activates "Goddess Skuld's Oracle's" effect, looking at the top three cards of Joey's deck and rearranging them ("Blue Flame Swordsman", "Gearfried the Iron Knight", and "Release Restraint"). "Gearfried the Iron Knight" is placed on top.
- Activates "Goddess Verdandi's Guidance's" effect, guessing "Monster Card". It is correct, so Joey Special Summons "Gearfried the Iron Knight" in face-down Defense Position.
  - Activates "Goddess Urd's Verdict's" effect, targeting Joey's face-down card and guessing "Gearfried the Iron Knight". It is correct, so "Gearfried the Iron Knight" is removed from play.
Activates Spell Card "Swan Maiden", Special Summoning "Valkyrie Erste" (1600/1800) in Attack Position from his hand.
"Valkyrie Erste" attacks Joey's "Sasuke Samurai", but Joey activates Trap Card "Silver Dollar", which reduces the Battle Damage inflicted to Joey to 0 and prevents his monster from being destroyed.
Sets a card.

Turn 13: Joey

Instead of a normal Draw Phase, "Nibelung's Ring" forces Joey to draw two cards ("Release Restraint" and "Blue Flame Swordsman"): if any monsters are drawn, one must be discarded to the Graveyard. Joey discards "Blue Flame Swordsman".
Activates "Dangerous Machine Type-6's" effect, rolling a die. Joey rolls a 3, which enables him to draw 1 card(It's "Roll of Fate").
Activates Spell Card "Roll of Fate", rolling a die and depending on the result, Joey can draw cards equal to the die result and then send the same number of cards from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard. Joey rolls a 6. He draws 6 cards and sends the top 6 cards from his Deck to his Graveyard.
Activates Spell Card "Giant Trunade", returning all Spell and Trap Cards on the field to their owners' hands.
- Joey's "Dangerous Machine Type-6" is returned to his hand.
- Zigfried's "Nibelung's Ring", "Goddess Urd's Verdict", "Goddess Verdandi's Guidance", and "Goddess Skuld's Oracle" are returned to his hand.
- Zigfried's face-down Trap Card "Apple of Enlightenment" is returned to his hand. This activates its effect, allowing Zigfried to draw a card.
- Since Zigfried's "Loge's Flame" is removed from the field, its second special effect activates, allowing Zigfried to Special Summon "Valkyrie Brünnhilde" (1800/2000) in Attack Position.
- "Valkyrie Brünnhilde" gains 300 ATK for every Dragon and Warrior-Type monster on the field: since Joey controls 2 Warriors, it gains 600 ATK ("Valkyrie Brünnhilde": 1800 → 2400/2000).
Tributes "Swordsman of Landstar" to Summon "Maximum Six" (1900/1600) in Attack Position.
- Since both the monster Joey tributed and his new monster are Warrior-Type, "Valkyrie Brünnhilde's" ATK does not change.
- Because "Maximum Six" was Tribute Summoned", Joey can roll a die and increase the ATK of "Maximum Six" by the die roll times 200. Maximum Six's" roll is a 6, so "Maximum Six" gains 1200 ATK ("Maximum Six": 1900 → 3100/1600).
Activates Spell Card "Star Blaster" to target "Sasuke Samurai" and roll a die. The die result will be added to the Level of "Sasuke Samurai" and after that happens Joey can Tribute "Sasuke Samurai" to summon a monster from his hand whose Level is the same as the Level of "Sasuke Samurai". Joey gets a 5, so Joey increases the Level of "Sasuke Samurai" by 5, making it a Level 7 monster ("Sasuke Samurai": Level 2 → 7). Joey then Tributes "Sasuke Samurai" to Special Summon "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" (2400/2000) in Attack Position.
- Since the monster Joey tributed is a Warrior and his new monster is a Dragon-Type, "Valkyrie Brünnhilde's" ATK does not change.
"Maximum Six" attacks Zigfried's "Valkyrie Brünnhilde", but Zigfried activates "Valkyrie Brünnhilde's" second effect, reducing its DEF by 1000 to prevent its destruction, however Zigfried still takes Battle Damage (Zigfried 1600 → 900).
"Red-Eyes B. Dragon" attacks & destroys Zigfried's "Valkyrie Erste" (Zigfried 900 → 100)
Activates "Dangerous Machine Type-6".
Sets a card.

Turn 14: Zigfried

Zigfried draws.
Activates Equip Spell Card "Enchanted Sword Nothung", equipping it onto "Valkyrie Brünnhilde" and increasing its ATK by 400 ATK ("Valkyrie Brünnhilde": 2400 → 2800/1000). Now when the equipped monster battles a Dragon-type monster, that monster will be destroyed at the start of the Damage Step without applying Damage Calculation.
- Since "Enchanted Sword Nothung" was equipped, its second effect activates, destroying Joey's "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" and removing from play as it's a Dragon-type monster ("Valkyrie Brünnhilde": 2800 → 2500/1000).
Activates Spell Card "Rainbow Bridge Bifröst", targeting "Valkyrie Brünnhilde" and increasing its ATK by 500 for each of Joey's monsters that are currently removed from play until the End Phase. With 5 monsters removed, Brünnhilde gains 2500 ATK ("Valkyrie Brünnhilde": 2500 → 5000/1000).
"Valkyrie Brünnhilde" attacks "Maximum Six", but Joey activates Trap Card "Compensation Mediation", forcing Zigfried to pick two cards from his Graveyard and put them along with "Compensation Mediation" face-down on the field. Joey picks one card. It is revealed to be "Swan Maiden". Because the card that Joey chose was not "Compensation Mediation", its effect is negated. The attack continues, destroying Joey's "Maximum Six" (Joey 800 → 0).
Zigfried wins.
