Episode Synopsis[]
In this episode, Kaiba's new duel tournament officially begins. Joey runs into the Rare Hunter who "stole" his Red Eyes, but before he can rechallenge the Rare Hunter to a duel, Yugi steps in to duel for him. Yami soundly defeats the Rare Hunter, causing Marik, who was controlling the Rare Hunter, to talk to Yami through the Rare Hunter, revealing who he is and what he wants, which is Yugi's screen time.
