Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mai is the forty-third episode of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series and the twenty-first episode of Season 2.

The episode was first shown at Youmacon, before LittleKuriboh made it available on YouTube.

Description[]

Melvin goes bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Trivia[]

  • From this episode on, LittleKuriboh uses footage from the Japanese version as a base for the series. This change apparently takes place for technical reasons and to add scenes which were cut from the English version of the anime.
  • Mai errornously refers to "Makyura the Destructor" as "Makyura the Destroyer".
