Episode Synopsis[]
This episode covers the Duelist Kingdom finals, in which Mai and Yugi duel, and Joey and Bandit Keith duel. Mai surrenders, and Joey annoys Bandit Keith into being eliminated. Joey and Yugi then duel, even though no cards are played, because Yugi insults Joey and mind-crushes him into defeat. That makes Yugi the victor of the tournament and the money, but he gives the money to Joey anyway. The ending scenes of this episode shows Mako Tsunami marrying the Ocean.
