01x18 - The King of the Copycats (Part 1 of 2)

[bunniefuu]

Hey, what's up?

Is it egg-wich day?!

Ahh!

No, jaden,

Just a little lunchtime tussle.

A duel?

Oh...

Well who's throwing down?

Well, on the left is dimitri.

I never heard of him.

And who's the other--

Huh?!

Syrus?!

Hey there, jay!

What's going on, sy?

A high stakes duel!

Check it out!

Whoa!

Syrus: yugi's deck is going on tour!

And the first stop is duel academy!

Isn't that the coolest?!

Yeah, it is!

The original king of games deck?!

To see it with my very own eyes?!

Yeah, so if I win this,

I get--uh...

Hello?

Aw, man, I was afraid this would happen.

Jaden: yugi's deck here?!

I can't believe it!

It's a piece of history!

All it's been through!

Yeah, just think about it!

Syrus: it's the deck he took with him

To duelist kingdom

Where he defeated pegasus--

The guy who invented duel monsters!

Jaden: and don't forget battle city

Where he used it to beat seto kaiba and marik!

I know!

The way he used those egyptian god cards!

Aw, man! So amazing!

Wow!

Of course, the deck's not going on tour

With the egyptian gods...

But it will have...

All the other classics!

I can't wait!

It's going to be the neatest thing ever!

We have to go!

We gotta go!

I'm with ya, sy!

So, what are you doing dueling?!

Let's go get tickets!

Jaden...

That's why syrus is dueling--

Because there's only one ticket left!

And whoever wins gets it!

Can you imagine a duel

With a better prize than that?

Uh...

Yeah, one with two tickets?

Two tickets?

Why, jay?

Did you want to bring a third person?

I mean, after all...

I got my ticket already.

See? [Gasp]

You're dueling for me?!

Of course, jaden!

And I'm gonna win!

Let's finish this!

Jaden: you're a pal, sy!

Good luck!

My turn!

And I play heavy storm!

And that, young scholar, will destroy

All the spell and trap cards on the field!

Huh?

That sounds familiar.

It should.

Dr. Crowler played the same move on you.

Oh, yeah...

What a coincidence.

[Gasps]

And now, I'll sacrifice the two wicked tokens

That were created...

And summon forth...

The legendary ancient gear golemn!

Whoa!

Jaden, thinking: this is total deja vu!

[Crowd gasps]

Attack, mechanized melee!

No so fast!

'Cause...

When jetroid's att*cked,

His ability activates--

An ability that let's me play a trap!

Like this!

Magic cylinder!

It takes mechanized melee...

And puts it in reverse!

Time-out!

[Gasps]

Yeah!

That's how you duel!

Sweet moves!

You sent that golemn to the junkyard!

Way to go!

It was easy,

I'd already seen how you beat dr. Crowler's.

And since dimitri copied his deck,

I knew exactly what to do.

[Laughter]

Oh!

I almost forgot!

Here's your ticket, jaden!

Sy, you're the best!

All right, everyone!

The show's over.

So, get back to class!

Boy: another stunning performance by dimitri!

Second boy: as a ra yellow,

He should have destroyed that slifer loser.

Third boy: guess copying great duelists and being one

Are two very different things.

What a joke.

Really.

It's a wonder he's still here.

Well, then...

I think that's about the worst of it.

Sure! Huh?!

Until the next time I lose.

Well, I've had it!

Hmm.

Dimitri: I don't get it!

It doesn't make sense!

I watch, and I study...

And still, I lose!

[Grunts]

Crowler's deck.

It was just as useless as all the rest!

Kaiba's or zane's...

It doesn't matter who I copy!

I always just lose!

What is there left to do?!

After all, if copying

The greatest duelists in the world

Won't help me win, what can?

Hmm?

Of course, it's so obvious...

Becoming the greatest duelist!

[Sigh]

Syrus: and then I said, "no you don't, dimitri,

'Cause I'm putting your mechanized melee in reverse,"

Like that, but cooler.

Right, jay? What?

Jaden, you've been staring

At your cards all night.

What's up?

Yugi's deck,

I just can't get it out of my head!

Huh?

Why?

Why?!

Why do you like grilled cheese?!

Look, I can't wait another second

To check out those legendary cards.

So, who's up for going with me

To the exhibit right now?

While they're setting up?

Hey, that's an idea.

I mean, then we'll avoid the rush!

Wait, so I dueled to get that ticket for you,

And you aren't going to even use it?

Syrus!

We'll be the first in line tomorrow, too!

Hmm.

Come on!

Man: all right, mr. Crowler--

Doctor!

Dr. Crowler.

We're finished setting up.

Here's the key to the display case

And the exhibit hall.

Thanks again for letting us off early.

We'll see you bright and early

Tomorrow morning for the big opening!

Have a good one, mister--doctor, er...

Night, sir.

Yes, good night, good night.

[Giggle]

Quite a good night!

After all,

How many evenings can one say

That they are in the presence of greatness...

Of the world's most famous dueling deck!

[Humming]

That's not there?!

Guard: you know, I didn't know he was a doctor.

Second guard: I didn't know he was a dude.

Hurry up, chumley!

Oh! Bastion?

Jaden?

[Chuckles]

Fancy meeting you here.

Taking a sneak peak of the deck,?

I guess great minds think alike!

[Distant scream]

Huh?! Huh?

You hear that?

Sure did!

Someone's in trouble!

Let's go help her!

[Screams]

Crowler?

The display case!

Chumley: he stole yugi's deck.

Syrus: why'd you do it, dr. Crowler?

No, wait, i--

Let's get chancellor sheppard!

No!

[Grunts]

Hey, what gives?

I know this looks bad....

But believe me,

I didn't steal the deck.

Then who did?

You were the only one here, dr. Crowler.

Standing right next to the case.

Then search me!

Please!

Go ahead! Go ahead!

You know, it could be 'cause

I don't want to search him...

But I think that I actually believe

What dr. Crowler is saying.

[Gasp]

Yes, yes, you're not so dim after all!

Which would mean

The real thief's still out there!

Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

Let's split up!

Yes, good call!

We must find this wrong-doer!

This pillager!

And when I say "we," I mean you.

And it's done...

Now, that I have the greatest deck,

I'll be the greatest duelist!

[Chuckles]

[Gasps]

Hey!

Someone just stole yugi's deck!

Know anything?

Stole?

What do you mean?

This is my deck!

If you don't believe me,

Why don't you go ahead and let me show you--

Right here, right now!

Aw, man...

[Groans]

Dorms are clear.

So are the classrooms.

[Syrus screams]

All: huh?!

That was syrus!

[Groaning]

Ha!

Ah, yes!

It's good to be the king of games!

[Laughs]

Syrus, what happened?

He has it.

Yugi's dueling deck...

Jaden: huh?!

Oh!

And he beat me with it...

Jaden: all right, you thief...

You've had your fun,

But now it's over!

Hand over the deck right now, dimitri!

Ha!

Dimitri?

Yeah!

I'm afraid that you're mistaken.

I'm yugi!

Dimitri's just some child

Who would study other people's decks

Then copy them.

You see...

With these cards,

I'm not copying the king of games...

I truly am the king of games!

And if you want this deck back,

You'll have to prove I'm not!

You've really gone off the deep end.

Still, I never back down from a challenge!

Good.

So, let's go.

Jaden

Ha!

[Screams]

Get your game on!

It's time to duel!

All right, here I come.

First off...

I play elemental hero burstinatrix

In defense mode!

[Screeches]

And that'll do.

Will it?

[Grunts]

I fuse gazelle, the king of mythical beasts

And berfomet...

To create chimera,

The flying mythical beast!

[Roaring]

Uh-oh.

This isn't gonna be pretty.

[Gasping]

Attack!

Pulverizing pounce!

[Grunts]

Syrus, you just dueled this guy.

Got any advice to beat him?

None!

I tried everything, but nothing worked!

[Groans]

So, then what are you saying, syrus?

That jaden doesn't have a chance here?!

I'm saying against yugi's deck,

That's a possibility.

It's more than that.

Both: huh?

You see, dimitri's a copycat duelist,

So in order to defeat him...

You must exploit the failings

Of whoever he's copying--

As you did when you first dueled dimitri, syrus.

You knew he was copying crowler's deck,

And you knew what its weaknesses were.

That's how you won.

But the problem is now he's copying yugi--

A duelist whose weaknesses

Are not so well known--

That is, if he has any at all.

You see, there is no set formula

On how to beat the king of games,

So therefore there is no set formula

On how to beat dimitri now.

Oh.

All right...

So, you like fusing monsters, do you?

Well, then...

You'll love this!

Elemental heroes sparkman

And clayman combine to create...

Elemental hero thunder giant!

[Roar]

And now I'm gonna use his special ability!

Ha!

It let's me destroy a monster

Whose original attack points

Are less than his own!

[Grunts]

Nice ability...

Now, let me show you mine!

When chimera's destroyed,

I'm allowed to summon back berfomet

From the graveyard.

[Roar]

Yeah, well he won't be back for very long!

Thunder giant, attack!

Voltic thunder!

[Grunts]

[Thinking] that ability saved his life points

From taking a big hit.

That deck's living up to the hype!

All right.

For my turn, I place one card facedown...

And play this--

Monster reincarnation.

Now, by discarding one card...

I get back one monster from my graveyard...

Gazelle, the king of mythical beasts,

Return!

[Roar]

And now...

I activate the magic card,

Swords of revealing light!

[Growls]

Hey, what's happening?

Not your att*cks, that's what!

For turns, your monsters are useless.

Turns?!

I gotta find a way to break that spell!

[Growls]

Go, dark catapulter!

What a liciuos move!

Dark catapulter has a special ability

That will let jaden destroy

Dimitri's swords spell card!

Yes, but not until next round,

And catapulter won't be around that long!

[Growls]

Because I have a trap card out--

Dark renewal--

It activates when you make a summoning.

Now, by sacrificing one of your monsters

As well as one of my own...

I can bring back a spell-caster monster

From the graveyard!

It's too bad you don't have any there then.

By my count, the only two monsters

In your grave are chimera and berfomet.

Then you may want to double-check your work--

Remember when I played monster reincarnation?

[Gasps]

Now, by discarding one card...

I get back one monster from my graveyard.

Oh, yeah.

Hmm.

Now, to bring back that spell-caster...

All right, gazelle and catapulter...

Make some room for the one, the only...

My friend...

Dark magician!

I am star-struck!

The dark magician is like the headliner

Of yugi's entire deck!

Think he'll give an autograph?

Boy, I wish I'd brought my camera.

[Thinking] well-played.

I doubt yugi could have done it better himself.

Dimitri's copying him perfectly...

And that's not good for jaden.

Well, thunder giant,

You may not be able to attack yet,

But you can still defend!

And that's exactly what

I'm going to have you do, buddy!

You're go, dimitri.

That's yugi.

And I'm choose to play...

The magic card thousand knives!

And when I activate it

With dark magician on the field,

They can be used to destroy

Any one of your monsters!

[Growls]

[Grunts]

Syrus: aw...

Jaden's thunder giant just got cut down to size!

Size zero maybe 'cause he's gone!

Still star-struck?

Well, here, let's see how you like getting struck...

By your star!

Dark magician,

Dark magic attack!

[Screams]

Oh, no!

Jaden!

That hurt.

Give up?

Never!

That's the spirit!

Never give up,

Always believe in the heart of the cards!

That's what I say...

Yeah, yeah...

The heart of the cards, sure...

[Thinking] it's his cards I'm worried about.

Either I beat 'em, or we lose 'em!

[Thinking] all right, jaden,

Time to get your game on.

Here goes something!

I hope.

Wroughtweiler in defensive mode.

And that's it.

Well, well...

There may be no known blueprint

To defeat yugi, but...

Jaden's still trying to design one.

And if my hunch is right,

What he's planning might work.

Don't forget,

With swords of light out,

You still can't attack!

But I can!

Dark magician, dark magic attack!

Hey, congrats!

You've just activated

Wroughtweiler's special ability!

You see, once he's sent to the graveyard,

I get to bring back

An elemental hero and polymerization.

Way to play!

You really show promise!

This guy is really

Starting to bug me!

Rise, burstinatrix!

[Shrieks]

Then I'm gonna throw down

A facedown and call it a turn.

[Thinking] burstinatrix is tough,

But she's still no match for dark magician.

There's only one monster in my deck right now

That has more attack points than him...

Elemental hero bladedge with ,.

Either I summon him or I lose this duel.

Well, it's been turns now.

Then that means no more sword of revealing light!

Jaden, do you hear that?!

The spell's over!

You can attack next turn!

Ha!

That's assuming that jaden even has a next turn!

Dark magician,

Attack, hero burstinatrix!

Not so fast, dimitri!

I played a trap--

A hero emerges!

And it activates

As soon as you declare an attack!

Now, you have to pick a card at random

From my hand, and if it's a monster,

I get to summon it to the field!

Now, choose!

So be it...

I choose...

The far left...

Good choice...

For me, that is!

Come on out, bladedge!

All right!

Now jay's got a monster

That can stand up to the dark magician!

And every other monster in yugi's deck,

After all...

With no egyptian god cards...

That dark magician

Is the strongest card dimitri has.

[Dimitri chuckles]

Huh?

Sorry.

But I couldn't help but overhear your friends.

They're quite wrong. What?!

It's true that dark magician

Is the strongest monster card in my deck...

But as a duelist, you must know

That it's rarely just about the card...

It's what you do with it.

And what I'm going to do is play this:

Dedication through light and darkness.

It takes dark magician and turns him into

Something even more powerful!

The legendary...

Dark magician of chaos!

Syrus: of chaos?!

Chumley: boy, that doesn't sound good.

Yes, well, it's not.

It's one of the mightiest creatures you'll ever see.

That's right.

And I'm about to unleash him on you, jaden!

Chaos magician, rise!

Now, just by successfully summoning him...

I'm allowed to bring one magic card

From my graveyard to my hand.

Oh, and in case you haven't done the math yet,

Bladedge doesn't have the most attack points anymore.

Chaos magician does!

[Gasps]

,?!

Yes!

Now, watch them all in action!

Scepter strike!

[Grunting]

Just face it...

This deck and I fit perfectly.

Always have, always will.

Not if I can help it!

[Thinking] of course, to be honest,

I don't know if I can...
