Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist - Duel 020 " The Ticking Clock ! " , known as " Time Ticking ! ! " in the Japanese version , is the twentieth chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist " in the English version and the seventy ninth chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " in the Japanese version . It was first printed in the " Weekly Shōnen Jump " magazine . It has been reprinted in volume 2 of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist " and volume 6 of the bunkoban . Summary . " Flame Swordsman " slices " Megasaurus " in half , dropping Ryuzaki ' s Life Points to 1460 . Jonouchi invites Ryuzaki to say hello to his strongest monster , who is going to take out his lizards one at a time . Ryuzaki growls , says that Dinosaurs are not lizards and gets mad at Jonouchi for harming his Deck . While Jonouchi ' s friends celebrate and think he might have a chance after all , Mai calls it a lucky shot and claims that Jonouchi does not stand a chance against her slave . Anzu tosses Mai a look and reminds her that Jonouchi had beaten her a few hours ago . Mai writes it off as luck , and says that Jonouchi had cheated anyway , since he won because he had gotten help from Yugi ; a feat which a kindergartner could accomplish . The girls exchange glares before Anzu and Yugi go back to cheering for Jonouchi . Ryuzaki worries about the high ATK of " Flame Swordsman " and its advantage over Dinosaur s , but knows his Deck has a powerful card , that can defeat it . He draws in the hopes of hitting this ultimate power , but instead gets something else . He starts to mildly panic and Summon s " Uraby " , before ending his turn . Jonouchi has " Flame Swordsman " attack " Two - Headed King Rex " . Using its " Tôki Enzan Ken " attack , it slices off one of the heads of " King Rex " , destroying it and dropping Ryuzaki ' s Life Points to 720 . Mai starts to scold Ryuzaki over how poorly he ' s doing . Annoyed at her arrogance he looks forward to beating her after he takes out Jonouchi . Yugi is anxious that Jonouchi may be letting his advantage get to him . Jonouchi has not won yet and Yugi is sure that Ryuzaki will pull something stronger than " Flame Swordsman " . Ryuzaki begins his turn and frowns over not drawing the powerful card again . He Summons " Crawling Dragon # 2 " in Defense Mode , calling it " The Carrion Dragon " . " Flame Swordsman " easily beheads " Crawling Dragon # 2 " . Jonouchi ' s friends cheer and Mai yells at Ryuzaki again . Jonouchi mocks Ryuzaki , asking if his cards are going extinct . Ryuzaki tells them to shut up and concentrates as he draws his next card . He smirks , as he is after getting his ultimate card . He Summons " Red - Eyes Black Dragon " , which stands proudly at 2400 ATK . Jonouchi is surprised by its power and Yugi recognizes it as a legendary rare card , which collectors pay hundreds of thousands of yen for . Ryuzaki notes that it is not as powerful as the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , but he spent everything he had to get it . Being Dark , " Red - Eyes " does not get a Field Power Bonus , but is still strong enough to take out Jonouchi ' s " Flame Swordsman " . " Red - Eyes " launches its " Black Fire Bullet " attack , taking out " Flame Swordsman " and dropping Jonouchi ' s Life Points to a mere 65 . Jonouchi and his friends begin to worry , unsure if Jonouchi can turn this Duel around , while Mai is impressed with Ryuzaki . Anzu asks Yugi if there is any way Jonouchi can win . Yugi knows that Jonouchi can win with " Time Wizard " , since it has a second effect that can be used without " Baby Dragon " . It would spin its roulette , stopping at a random section , which would dictate the fate of the monsters . If it backfires , Jonouchi ' s monsters would get sucked into a time vortex . It only has a one - in - three chance of going right , but there ' s no other way he can win . However Yugi had promised Jonouchi that he would not help , so he keeps quite . Jonouchi draws and begins to worry . Ryuzaki is conscious that Jonouchi has " Time Wizard " face - down , but is certain that he neither knows how to use the card nor is brave enough to play it . Thinking of " Time Wizard " , he remembers that Jonouchi had used it to defeat Mai , so if he could get this card himself , he should have no problem beating Mai . Ryuzaki imposes a gamble ; if he wins , he gets to take the " Time Wizard " card , but if Jonouchi wins , he gets the " Red - Eyes Black Dragon " , which is worth a few hundred thousand yen . Jonouchi had forgotten he Set " Time Wizard " until Ryuzaki mentioned that . He was also tempted by the thought of the few hundred thousand yen . Mai becomes furious and bangs on the window to the arena , telling Ryuzaki that she will not allow that trade and as her slave he should obey . Ryuzaki yells back that he is not her slave . While the two bicker , Jonouchi ponders on how the few hundred thousand yen could help him and accepts the bet . While Ryuzaki and Mai continue to argue , Jonouchi wonders if " Time Wizard " could be a really powerful card , since they are making such a fuss over it . He assures himself the card is good and with no other options , he decides to play it , even though he doesn ' t know what it does . Jonouchi Summons an unnamed monster in Defense Mode and flip s the " Time Wizard " . Ryuzaki and Mai look back in surprise . Yugi is excited that Jonouci figured out how to use the card . " Time Wizard " spins its " Roulette of Time " . If Jonouchi is successful , it will use its " Time Magic " and if he is unsuccessful , it will " self - destruct " . The arrow stops on a win , aging Ryuzaki ’ s monsters thousands of years , turning them into fossils and dropping Ryuzaki ' s Life Points to 0 . Jonouchi ' s friends and Mai all let out a loud cheer for Jonouchi . Anzu looks over at Mai , who embarrassingly lets out an " oops " . Ryuzaki relinquishes his " Red - Eyes Black Dragon " and 2 of his Star Chips to Jonouchi , who now has 4 Star Chips . Featured Duels . Katsuya Jonouchi vs . Dinosaur Ryuzaki .
