Description[]

Our tale begins. Yugi and Kaiba face-off in a duel.

Redux description: Witness the awesomeness of high-definition card games.

Summary[]

At school, Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler are playing Duel Monsters. Yugi mentions that his grandpa has a rare card, which Seto Kaiba is interested in and says that he has nothing better to do than check it out. After school, the group goes to Solomon Muto's game shop, where he shows his rare card, the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Kaiba comes in and demands the card, but Solomon refuses. Before leaving, Kaiba says that he will send some thugs to kidnap Solomon, and Solomon comments that Kaiba needs to get laid, to which Tristan Taylor agrees.

Later, Yugi gets a call from Kaiba, who says that he dueled Solomon into submission and wants Yugi to call an ambulance for him, as he has far too much money to be expected to do it himself. Yugi and his friends arrive at Kaiba's duel arena and see him ripping the Blue Eyes card in half so that it cannot be used against him. Yugi comments on Kaiba's stupidity and why not just tear up every other card in the world, to which Kaiba tells Yugi to shut up and duel him. Tea Gardner pulls out a marker and draws a smiley face on her, Yugi, Joey, and Tristan's hands. The marker turns out to be permanent, with Tea saying tat she took it because she is a kleptomaniac. Tristan notes that his wallet is missing, and Tea quickly accuses Kaiba of taking it.

Yugi transforms into Yami Yugi and starts dueling Kaiba, who wonders whether Yami's testicles dropped in the last five seconds and asks what happened to his voice. Yami is amazed by the holograms that Kaiba's duel arena produces, to which he also adds that it was another dumb idea to waste a lot of money on holograms for children's card games. When Kaiba corners Yami with three Blue Eyes White Dragons, Yami questions the legality of the move, to which Kaiba replies, "Screw the rules, I have money!" Yami then summons all five pieces of Exodia the Forbidden One, which wins him the duel. Mokuba Kaiba makes a short cameo and then Yami mind-crushes Kaiba. At the hospital, Solomon awakens and says he wet himself.

Meanwhile, at a castle, a henchman of Maximillion Pegasus tells him that Kaiba has been defeated by Yugi and also that it is time for Pegasus' sponge bath.
