Croquet: THIS FINAL PLAYOFF MATCH BETWEEN YUGI MOTO

AND JOEY WHEELER WILL NOT ONLY DETERMINE

WHO WINS THE TOURNAMENT,

BUT ALSO, WHO WINS A MATCH

WITH MR. MAXIMILLION PEGASUS.

[THINKING] I HAVE TO WIN THAT MATCH WITH PEGASUS.

I HAVE TO STOP HIM AND SAVE MY GRANDPA!

GRANDPA!

Grandpa: YUGI!

WHATEVER IT TAKES, PEGASUS MUST BE DEFEATED!

[THINKING] I HAVE TO WIN THIS FOR SERENITY.

I WAS HOPING TO SEE YOU ONCE MORE.

[CRYING]Mai: HERE.

NOW GO AND WIN FOR YOUR SISTER.

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT OUT OF ALL THE DUELISTS

WHO STARTED IN THIS TOURNAMENT,

2 BEST FRIENDS WOULD WIND UP

IN THE FINAL MATCH.

YEAH! THIS IS DEFINITELY HARSH,

BUT AT LEAST ONE OF 'EM'S

GONNA GET A CHANCE TO TAKE ON PEGASUS.

I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

BUT DON'T YOU THINK IT'D BE EASIER

IF THEY JUST FLIPPED A COIN OR SOMETHING?

THEN WE COULD GET OUR MATCH WITH PEGASUS NOW.

I DON'T THINK THAT IT WORKS THAT WAY, TéA.

WELL, WHY DOESN'T IT?

YUGI AND JOEY ARE LIKE BROTHERS.

THEY SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO FIGHT EACH OTHER LIKE THIS!

I TOTALLY HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,

BUT IT'S JUST HOW THIS TOURNAMENT WORKS.

Téa: WELL, I DON'T LIKE IT.

JOEY, WAIT A SEC.

LISTEN, YUGE,

I HOPE THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU HAVING

ANY SECOND THOUGHTS DUELIN' ME.

HUH? COME ON, PAL.

I'M SORRY, JOEY,

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS.

AW, SUCK IT UP, YUGI.HUH?

YOU SAID IT YOURSELF. IF IT CAME DOWN TO US,

WE'D BOTH JUST PLAY OUR BEST AND MOST HONORABLE DUEL.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA REALLY KNOW

WHICH ONE OF US IS BEST PREPARED

TO TAKE ON PEGASUS IN THE FINAL MATCH.

SO, LET'S DUEL!

[THINKING] OK, MAYBE JOEY IS RIGHT.

I MAY NOT WANT TO DO THIS,

BUT STILL, IT HAS TO BE DONE

IF WE WANT TO BEAT PEGASUS.

WHADAYA SAY, YUGE?

LET'S DO THIS THING!

Yami Yugi: YU-GI-OH!

ALL RIGHT, JOEY.

TIME TO DUEL.

Croquet: YOUR GRACIOUS HOST WILL NOW MAKE A FEW OPENING REMARKS.

OH, BOY.

[CLEARS THROAT]

CONGRATULATIONS, DUELISTS,

YOU'RE THE FINEST IN THE WORLD.

AND FOR THAT REASON, I LOOK FORWARD TO A MATCH

THAT'S SURE TO CONSIST OF YOUR DUELING BEST.

AFTER ALL, SHOULD YOU GIVE ME ANYTHING LESS,

I WILL KNOW.

[PEGASUS CHUCKLES]

YUGI, BEFORE WE START,

I JUST WANNA SAY THANKS, MAN.

HUH?

JUST LOOK AT ME. I'M IN THE FINAL MATCH

OF THE BIGGEST DUEL MONSTERS TOURNAMENT

THAT'S EVER BEEN THROWN.

AND IT'S ALL 'CAUSE OF YOU, BUD.

YOU GOT ME HERE. YOU LOOKED OUT FOR ME.

YOU'RE WRONG, JOEY.

YOU EARNED YOUR PLACE HERE.

Joey: THANKS, PAL.

JUST KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS HERE,

YOU'RE MY FRIEND.

AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE, YUGE.

BUT, UH, DON'T THINK THAT MEANS I'M GONNA GO

EASY ON YOU IN THIS MATCH.

OR THAT I EXPECT YOU TO GO EASY ON ME.

I'M READY FOR YOUR BEST!

HA! SO LET'S DO THIS!

HMM.

[THINKING] HMM. I DON'T THINK PEGASUS

HAS TO WORRY MUCH ABOUT THESE TWO

NOT DUELING THEIR VERY HARDEST.

WITH WHAT'S ON THE LINE HERE

THEY'RE BOTH SURE TO GO ALL OUT!

[CHUCKLES]

[THINKING] HOW AMUSING.

THE SAME BEST FRIENDS WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HELP EACH OTHER

HAVE NOW BECOME ARCH RIVALS,

PITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER IN A DESPERATE MATCH

THAT CAN BOAST BUT A SINGLE WINNER.

WHAT A SPLENDID SHOW THIS SHOULD MAKE.

[THINKING] ALL RIGHT, JOEY.

YOU ASKED FOR MY BEST

AND I INTEND TO GIVE IT.

[THINKING] YUGI, I WON'T INSULT YOU

BY GIVING YA ANYTHING LESS THAN MY ALL.

I'M GONNA COME AT YA HARD RIGHT FROM THE START.

♪ HOW'D IT COME TO THIS

♪ AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH? ♪

♪ TWO OF A PAIR NOW ON OPPOSITE SIDES ♪

♪ FROM THE VERY START

♪ WE THOUGHT ONLY OF TWO

♪ WATCHED EACH OTHER'S BACK AND WE BATTLED WITH PRIDE ♪

♪ WE ARE CLOSER THAN BROTHERS ♪

♪ NOW WE HAVE TO FIGHT EACH OTHER ♪

♪ NO MATTER WHAT

Together: LET'S DUEL!

I'LL THROW THIS IN ATTACK MODE.

BRING IT!

Yami Yugi: GO, CELTIC GUARDIAN!

HMM.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS ONE THING

WHEN JOEY AND YUGI HAD DUELS BACK HOME

AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING BIG ON THE LINE.

BUT HERE...

Tristan: EVERYTHING IS AT STAKE.

HUH?

THE MONEY FOR SERENITY'S OPERATION,

THE MATCH THAT COULD SAVE YUGI'S GRANDPA.

TALK ABOUT PRESSURE.

I WISH THEY COULD BOTH WIN.

THE STAKES ARE HIGH,

BUT HOPEFULLY AFTER EVERYTHING'S SAID AND DONE

THERE'LL BE A WAY FOR BOTH OF THEM

TO GET WHAT THEY'VE FOUGHT SO HARD FOR.

[CHUCKLES]

[THINKING] WISHFUL THINKING, BAKURA.

BUT AFTER EVERYTHING'S "SAID AND DONE",

I'LL BE THE ONLY ONE TO GET WHAT I WANT.

INCLUDING WHAT I WANT FROM YOU!

ALL RIGHT, JOEY. IT'S YOUR TURN NOW.

OK, YOU ASKED FOR IT!

UHH!

I'M THROWIN' GILTIA THE KNIGHT!

IN ATTACK MODE!

[HOWLS]

Tristan: HOW'S THAT FOR STARTERS?

HMM.

GILTIA, ATTACK!

SOUL SPEAR ASSAULT!

[HOWLING]

UHH!

YOUR CELTIC GUARDIAN'S BEEN CREAMED.

HMM.

I WARNED YA, YUGI.

I'M NOT GONNA PULL ANY PUNCHES

IN THIS HERE DUEL!

JOEY'S REALLY NOT KIDDING.

CHECK OUT THE SCORE. HE'S IN THE LEAD.

DON'T FORGET THOUGH, TRISTAN,

THERE'S A LONG WAY TO GO.

ANYONE CAN SCORE AN EARLY LEAD IN A DUEL,

BUT ONLY A FEW CAN PLAY WELL FOR THE ENTIRE MATCH.

ONLY THE BEST.

EXACTLY RIGHT, TéA.

YOU SEE, TRISTAN,

EVEN THOUGH YUGI'S BEHIND IN LIFE POINTS NOW,

HE'S PROVEN HIMSELF ABLE TO STAY FOCUSED

AND MAKE THE BIG PLAYS WHEN THEY COUNT.

NOT THAT JOEY HASN'T SHOWN THE SAME PROMISE,

IT'S JUST THAT YUGI'S HAD MORE EXPERIENCE.

AND THAT MAY BE WHAT GIVES HIM THE EDGE HERE.

[THINKING] JOEY LEFT HIS KNIGHT ON THE FIELD

COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED.

JUST ONE OF THOSE AMATEUR MISTAKES

COULD COST HIM THE MATCH

IF HE WERE DUELING PEGASUS.

WHAT IS HE THINKING?

[SPEAKING] TIME OUT, JOEY!

TIME OUT?

EVER SINCE WE ARRIVED ON THIS ISLAND,

I'VE DONE MY VERY BEST TO TEACH YOU

EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW.

NOW YOU MUST PUT EVERYTHING YOU'VE LEARNED INTO PLAY.

THINK STRATEGICALLY,

YOU CANNOT AFFORD ANY MISTAKES.

MISTAKES? I DON'T GET IT.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYIN', YUGE,

THAT I DID SOMETHING WRONG ALREADY?

IT'S ONLY BEEN ONE TURN SO FAR.

WHAT I'M SAYING, JOEY,

IS THAT IN A DUEL OF THIS MAGNITUDE,

EVERY SINGLE MOVE YOU MAKE IS CRUCIAL.

ONE FALSE CARD AND IT CAN COST YOU

EVERYTHING YOU'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR.

I GOT IT. EVERY MOVE I MAKE HERE

HAS GOTTA BE RIGHT ON THE DOT.

THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE HERE NO ONE

LETS A MISTAKE GO UNPUNISHED.

NOT PEGASUS, AND NOT ME.

OK! TIME IN!

NOW GIMME YOUR BEST SHOT, PAL!

I INTEND TO.

GO, GAIA, THE FIERCE KNIGHT!

[WHINNIES]

ATTACK!

[HORSE WHINNIES]

[HOWLING]

GILTIA THE KNIGHT IS NO MORE!

YOU SURE TOOK IT TO ME THERE, YUGE. GOOD MOVE.

NOW LET'S SEE WHAT OL' JOEY CAN COME UP WITH!

THERE. ARMORED LIZARD.

IN DEFENSE MODE!

[GROWLS]

[THINKING] I KNOW JOEY HAS A BETTER MONSTER THAN THAT.

HMM, I WONDER WHAT HE'S PLANNING HERE?

Tristan: WHAT'S HE PLAYING THAT THROWAWAY MONSTER FOR?

WHO KNOWS? PERHAPS JOEY HASN'T LEARNED

AS MUCH AS WE THOUGHT.

OH!

[CHUCKLES]

[THINKING] I SEE, JOEY.

COME ON, YUGE. IT'S YOUR TURN NOW.

AND I'LL PLAY THIS:

THE SUMMONED SKULL IN ATTACK MODE!

THAT'S IT.

[ROARS]

LIGHTNING STRIKE!

ATTACK!

ARMORED LIZARD IS VANQUISHED.

HMM.

LOOK AT JOEY.

HE ALMOST LOOKS GLAD HIS CREATURE WAS STRUCK.

MAN, THAT'S SAD. HE'S IN DENIAL ALREADY.

NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.

I THINK THAT JOEY PLAYED THAT MEDIOCRE MONSTER OF HIS

SO YUGI WOULD BE LULLED INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AND ATTACK IT.

AFTER ALL, JOEY KNOWS FULL WELL

THAT YUGI HAS MONSTERS IN HIS DECK THAT COULD

EASILY BEAT HIS ARMORED LIZARD.

NO. I THINK THAT JOEY WAS JUST TRYING TO DRAW YUGI'S MONSTER OUT.

SORRY, BUD,

BUT I WAS HOPIN' YOU WERE GONNA THROW DOWN THAT SUMMONED SKULL CARD.

I NEEDED HIM OUT FOR MY STRATEGY TO WORK--

A STRATEGY THAT HAS ZERO MISTAKES, I MIGHT ADD.

BUT HERE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF!

GET READY, BUD, 'CAUSE NOW IT'S MY TURN TO TEACH YOU A LESSON!

GRR...

Téa: JOEY SURE SEEMS CONFIDENT

THAT WHATEVER HE HAS PLANNED WILL TAKE DOWN YUGI'S SUMMONED SKULL.

OK, YUGE.

I'LL PLAY THIS FIRST IN ATTACK MODE.

THE FLAME SWORDSMAN? WHY PLAY HIM? HEH HEH!

THE SWORDSMAN WON'T STAND A CHANCE.

THE SUMMONED SKULL'S ATTACK POWER IS TOO HIGH.

NOT ONCE JOEY PLAYS THAT.HUH?

I HATE DOIN' THIS TO YOU,

BUT I'M PLAYING THE MAGICAL SHIELD AND SWORD CARD.

OH, NO!

NOW YOU'RE IN FOR IT, YUGI BOY.

THE MAGIC OF THE SHIELD AND SWORD CARD

FLIPS EACH MONSTER'S ATTACK POINTS WITH THEIR DEFENSE POINTS.

I GET IT NOW.

JOEY'S SWORDSMAN'LL HAVE MORE ATTACK POINTS

THAN YUGI'S SUMMONED SKULL.

CLEVER MOVE.

SO, HOW'S THAT FOR PUTTIN' EVERY SLICK MOVE

THAT I'VE LEARNED HERE INTO PLAY, YUGE?

BET YOU WISH YOU DIDN'T SHOW ME THE ROPES QUITE SO WELL NOW, HUH, BUD?

ATTACK!

FLAMING SWORD OF BATTLE!

SUMMONED SKULL'S BEEN REDUCED TO ASH.

WELL PLAYED, JOEY.

YOU NOT ONLY REDUCED MY LIFE POINTS,

BUT YOU TOOK OUT ONE OF MY BEST MONSTERS, TOO.

THANKS, PAL, BUT THAT'S NOTHING

COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER MOVES

I GOT READY TO BUST OUT IN THIS DUEL.

HEH HEH HEH!

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THEM, JOEY,

BUT REMEMBER...

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH POWERFUL MOVES READY TO PLAY.

WELL, THEN, BRING 'EM ON, PAL.

THIS DUEL IS REALLY HEATING UP.

YES. AND WITH THE LEVEL OF SKILL THOSE TWO POSSESS,

I HAVE A STRONG FEELING

THAT THINGS ARE ONLY GOING TO GET HOTTER DOWN THERE.

UHH! OH, GREAT.

[CHUCKLES, THINKING] HOW SPLENDID!

THE PASSION, THE DRAMA, THE FEROCITY!

FRIENDS MAKE SUCH WONDERFUL ADVERSARIES.

SO, LET'S SEE ONE OF THEM MOVES, YUGE.

VERY WELL, JOEY. SUMMONED SKULL WILL NOW BE AVENGED.

OH, YEAH? WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET THROUGH MY FLAME SWORDSMAN FIRST.

PRECISELY.

CURSE OF DRAGON. ATTACK MODE!

[ROARING]

[GROANS]

AND NEXT I'LL USE THIS POLYMERIZATION CARD

TO FUSE MY DRAGON WITH GAIA THE FIERCE KNIGHT!

WHAT?!BEHOLD...

GAIA THE DRAGON CHAMPION!

[CRIES] [ROARS]

GRR!

NOW, MY DRAGON CHAMPION, ATTACK!

[CRIES]

[GROWLS]

YOUR SWORDSMAN'S BEEN TROUNCED.

[GROANS]

OH, MY.

SEE? THIS IS WHAT I MEANT.

HUH? NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,

YUGI KEEPS A LASER-LIKE FOCUS

AND MAKES THE BIG PLAYS WHEN THEY REALLY COUNT.

AND NOW I GUESS WE'LL SEE IF JOEY CAN DO THE SAME.

HOW CAN JOEY MAKE A BIG PLAY

WITH THAT DRAGON CHAMPION OUT THERE?

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT'S OUT.

YOU SEE, JUST AS YUGI WAS ABLE TO KEEP HIS COOL

WHILE FACING THAT FLAME SWORDSMAN,

NOW JOEY NEEDS TO MAINTAIN HIS FOCUS

EVEN WHILE HE'S BEING ATTACKED BY HIS BEST FRIEND.

HE'S BEING FORCED TO THINK ON HIS FEET.

YOU KNOW, IT'S AS IF YUGI AND JOEY

ARE PUSHING EACH OTHER TO DUEL THEIR VERY BEST.

Bakura: I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

THEY'RE PUSHING EACH OTHER AS HARD AS THEY CAN NOW

SO NO MATTER WHICH ONE OF THEM WINS THIS DUEL,

HE'LL BE AT HIS BEST WHEN HE FACES PEGASUS.

OH.

[THINKING, CHUCKLES] IT SEEMS I'M THE ONLY ONE

WHO APPRECIATES WATCHING 2 FRIENDS PUSH EACH OTHER

TO THE BRINK OF THEIR ABILITIES.

I GUESS IT'S SOMETHING OF AN ACQUIRED TASTE.

SO EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE BEING FORCED TO FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER,

THEY'VE ACTUALLY FOUND A WAY TO HELP EACH OTHER.

IT'S AMAZING.

WHOA.

[THINKING] OK. COME ON, DECK. DON'T FAIL ME NOW.

HMM. COPYCAT.

OH!

[THINKING] ALL RIGHT. I GOT THE GRAVEROBBER, TOO!

I THINK I COULD USE THESE TWO

IN A WAY THAT'D BE ABLE TO TAKE OUT YUGI'S DRAGON CHAMPION,

MAYBE EVEN CLINCH THE MATCH! HA HA!

ALL RIGHT, YUGI. READY OR NOT, HERE I COME.

[THINKING] I THINK THIS COMBO OF MINE MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK.

HEH.

[THINKING] HMM?

WHAT COULD JOEY BE SMILING ABOUT?

GAIA THE DRAGON CHAMPION IS ONE OF MY TOUGHEST MONSTERS.

YUGI, YOUR DRAGON CHAMP'S DONE FOR.

WATCH THIS!

HE'S DONE FOR?

JOEY MUST HAVE SOMETHING BIG PLANNED.

HUH? HUH?

FIRST I'M SUMMONING THE RED EYES BLACK DRAGON IN ATTACK MODE!

YAHH!

[ROARS]

HUH.

AND I'LL ADD GRAVEROBBER TO STEAL A MONSTER FROM YOUR GRAVEYARD.

MY SKULL?

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT, YUGI.

NOW HE'S MINE.

NO! HEH HEH!

AND NEXT, I THINK I'LL THROW DOWN THIS LITTLE CRITTER RIGHT HERE.

GRR.

CHECK OUT THE COPYCAT CARD!

NOW I CAN COPY ANY CARD YOU HAVE ON THE FIELD.

GRR.

AND I KNOW JUST WHICH ONE I WANT, TOO.

THE POWERFUL, MYSTICAL, MAGICAL...

POLYMERIZATION!

MY FUSION CARD!

BINGO! I MAY HAVE NEVER PLAYED IT BEFORE,

BUT I'VE SEEN YOU USE IT PLENTY OF TIMES.

HUH? WHA--

RED EYES BLACK DRAGON

AND SUMMONED SKULL,

COMBINE YOURSELVES INTO ONE!

[ROARS]

Joey: CHECK IT OUT. THE BLACK SKULL DRAGON!

OH, NO!

[GASPS] [GASPS]

SUPERB! TWO FUSED DUEL MONSTERS SET FOR BATTLE. GREAT!

Joey: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING NEXT,

SO YOU'D BETTER BRACE YOURSELF. GRR.

GO BLACK SKULL DRAGON!

ATTACK THE DRAGON CHAMPION NOW!

MOLTEN FIREBALLS!

[ROARING]

UHH!

I DID IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY DID IT!

I JUST TOOK DOWN ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL MONSTERS IN YOUR WHOLE DECK!

I JUST BEAT YOUR DRAGON CHAMPION!

HMM.YOU GOTTA ADMIT, YUGE.

THAT WAS A PRETTY SWEET MOVE I PLAYED...

WITH THE WHOLE POLYMERIZATION THING AND ALL.

[THUNDERING]

I GET IT. YOU GOT YOUR GAME FACE ON

TO TRY AND KEEP ME IN SUSPENSE, HUH, YUGI?

NO, JOEY. I'M JUST LETTING YOU ENJOY YOUR TRIUMPH.

YOU PLAYED A FINE MOVE...

AND NOW ALLOW ME TO PLAY MINE.

UH-OH, GUYS. I THINK THIS DUEL'S HEATING UP AGAIN.

YEAH. DID YOU SEE THAT LOOK IN YUGI'S EYES?

THAT STARE'S MEANT DOOM FOR MANY A DUELIST!

BUT AT THE SAME TIME...WHAT?

JOEY SEEMS TO BE ALMOST UNSTOPPABLE RIGHT NOW.

IT'S TRULY ANYONE'S DUEL.

YUGI...JOEY...

[CHUCKLES] BRAVO!

I SO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THIS WILL TURN OUT.

[CHUCKLES]

READY, PAL?

'CAUSE MY BLACK SKULL DRAGON'S ABOUT TO END THIS MATCH.

WRONG. THIS DUEL'S JUST GETTING STARTED.

[THUNDERING]
