We Interrupt This Broadcast is the seventeenth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. It summarizes 6 episodes of the original series, more than any other episode of The Abridged Series so far.
Description[]
Ah, the Card Game Channel. The only station you'd be more ashamed to watch than the pay-per-view Porn channels.
Everyone's battling for a spot in the final round of Duelist Kingdom, but who will make it through? Surely it would NEVER be Yugi, that would be way too obvious...
Trivia[]
- The "last time on Yu-Gi-Oh!" in the opening is from the actual 4Kids dub, spoken by the real Dan Green.
- The announcer's list of Mai's duels is incomplete: she has apparently won at least two card games, though offscreen: Once against Rex Raptor, and once against a man in a bee costume, right before her on-screen duel.
- This remains the only episode (besides the clip show episodes) to cover more than one duel that was originally a multi-parter.
Cultural References[]
