" second series anime . It is the first episode of the Dungeon Dice Monsters arc . It first aired in Japan on March 13 , 2001 , and in the US on November 2 , 2002 . Summary . Grandpa Muto is disgusted because his game shop has new competition . Yugi decides to sneak over and check out the competition with Téa . Outside the building , folks are giving out publicity posters about the shop ' s new game , Dungeon Dice Monsters . Meanwhile , the store ' s owner , Duke Devlin discusses getting revenge against Yugi . He claims that Yugi only defeated Pegasus in Duelist Kingdom by cheating , and plans to expose him to the world . While Yugi discusses these developments with his friends , Joey notices that a new student is attracting all the girls with dice tricks . The student , named Duke Devlin , gets Joey involved with one of the tricks , and by playing off of Joey ' s gullibility , the trick works . Joey gets angry at that , and he challenges Duke to a Duel Monsters game . Duke agrees , but on the condition that they will only use cards from new Booster Packs . They also make a bet : if Duke wins , Joey will be his servant for one week , but if Joey wins , Duke has to close his shop . Yugi protests that Joey shouldn ' t be made to use cards he ' s not used to using , but Joey agrees to the deal . After school , they all go the game shop , which belongs to Duke and has a Duel arena . Joey picks out several packs of cards with some nervousness , but when he opens them , he becomes confident again . Duke announces that he will broadcast the duel on TV , and some of the girls from school have even shown up as cheerleaders for Duke , which gets Joey even more angry . Then the duel begins . Joey takes a big lead early on , summoning a high - level monster with a power - up effect to top it off . Duke goes into a simple defense , and Joey pounces by summoning " Mad Sword Beast " - - the first monster with piercing damage ever seen in the anime . Duke recovers quickly by using a trap to destroy Joey ' s high - level monster . Yugi worries about this , seeing that Joey isn ' t looking very far ahead with his moves . Duke then makes a counterattack , which clears Joey ' s field . With the pressure on him , Joey topdecks " Goblin Attack Force " , and he summons this latest beatdown card for his third attack in as many turns . After this , his monster drops into Defense Position by its own effect , which is something Joey had forgotten about , but he ' s not too worried . Duke only has 50 life points left , so Joey knows he ' ll win , and he even imagines the cheerleaders cheering for him . However , Yugi notices that Duke is completely calm , and sure enough , Duke takes his next turn , " Gradius " for an attack . Joey mocks such a weak monster , but Duke activates his face - down " Limiter Removal " to double its ATK . This stops Joey ' s taunts right away , but at least his monster is in Defense Position , so his life points are safe . Duke then plays his last card , " Fairy Meteor Crush " , which Duke describes as being a spell version of " Mad Sword Beast " . This takes a second to sink in , but when it does , Joey goes into a panic . Helplessly , he watches as Duke attacks , blasting straight through all his goblins and wiping out his life points in one attack . Defeated and dejected , Joey gets down from the arena . Yugi tells Joey that he did well . Duke snaps his fingers , and a cheerleader brings Joey a dog suit . Duke orders Joey to put it on . He flicks a die at Joey ' s head , who complains , but Duke tells him to bark . Seeing his friend not only ordered but humiliated , Yugi gets angry , and the Millenium Puzzle activates . Yami Yugi tells Duke to stop the cruelties and challenge him . If he defeats Duke , Joey is released from the deal and he gets his freedom back . Duke agrees , but he says that they will play Dungeon Dice Monsters . He also states that if he wins , Yugi will swear on his Grandfather´s life that he will never play Duel Monsters again and he will also give up his title of " King of Games " to Duke . Tristan , Tea and Joey protest to Yugi that he shouldn ' t risk all of that just to get Joey his freedom back . Duke angrily flicks another die at Joey for being rebellious against him , but this time Yami Yugi catches the die and he agrees to these terms regardless of the risks because he will not stand there and let him destroy Joey ' s dignity like that . Yami Yugi knows his friends are worth more than any title or game in the world and he will stick by them no matter what . Those are things Duke will never understand and he will battle him for Joey ' s sake . The episode comes to an end with both of them squared off for the confrontation .
