Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist - Duel 005 " Fate on the High Seas ! ! " known as " Fate of the Ocean ! ! " in the Japanese version , is the fifth chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist " and the sixty - fourth chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " . This chapter was originally printed in the " Weekly Shōnen Jump " magazine in Japanese . It has been reprinted in in volume 1 of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duelist " and volume 5 of the bunkoban . Summary . At 9 : 00 pm , Yugi , Jonouchi , Anzu Mazaki and Bakura arrived at Domino Pier . They thought the place seemed quiet at first , but then spotted a group of people with " Duel Monsters " cards near a ship . Among them were Insector Haga and Dinosaur Ryuzaki ; the winner and runner - up of the Japanese National Duel Monsters Championship . Yugi and Jonouchi realized that they were going to have some tough opposition . Yugi recalled how he and Jonouchi had trained hard for the Duelist Kingdom tournament the past week and put together the strongest Decks that they could . He reminded himself that he and Jonouchi had to win and everything rested on the Decks that they had made . Saruwatari appeared on the ship and welcomed the Duelists to the tournament on behalf of Industrial Illusions . He explained that they had researched their tournament records and unofficial Duels and hand picked the best Duelists in Japan . As the Duelist began to cheer , an older female Duelist , Mai Kujaku , laughed and remarked that this is a pep rally for little kids . Yugi , Jonouchi and Honda ' s jaws all dropped in awe of Mai ' s physical appeal . Mai noted that she hadn ' t seen any real competition yet , but then spotted Yugi . She asked if he was Yugi and was surprised that a little boy like him had beaten Kaiba . She told him he was famous and teasingly put her finger on his nose . Beside them , Anzu became enraged by Mai ' s attitude . Honda and Jonouchi tried introducing themselves to Mai as friends of the famous Yugi , but Mai took no interest . As she left , she said that it didn ' t matter if her opponent was a little kid , any man who stands in her way will get crushed . She then told them her name before leaving . Yugi , Jonouchi and Honda inhaled her trail of perfume and sighed , causing Anzu to tell them off . At 9 : 30 pm , the group were on the ship and it left the pier . Silently , Yugi promised to defeat Pegasus and free his grandpa and Jonouchi promised to put his life on the line to save Shizuka ' s eyes . Saruwatari gets everyone ' s attention and escorts them to where they will be sleeping . It being a big ship , Jonouchi was expecting some luxurious rooms . On the way , Yugi bumps into Haga and Ryuzaki . He compliments Haga on winning the national championship . Haga insists it was nothing and Ryuzaki says Haga only one because he went easy on him . Haga tells Yugi that he is looking forward to Dueling him in the kingdom and admits that the last tournament didn ' t mean much to him as he doesn ' t think he could be considered a champion until he defeats Yugi and Kaiba . Haga then asks Yugi if he heard that there would be new rules in the tournament . Although , he doesn ' t know the details , he knows that they ' ll incorporate more strategy . Ryuzaki on the other hand insists that the new rules are all just hype and that it will be either " kill or be killed " in the tournament . Eventually the group are led to a common area and Jonouchi gets angry over having to sleep there . He complains to one of the officials over not getting rooms or even beds . He ' s told that only finalists of the last tournament have been given private rooms . Ryuzaki says " tough luck " , as he and Haga are about to leave for their rooms . Haga stays back for a minute and tells Yugi that in one way sleeping in the common room is better than a private room . He directs Yugi ' s attention to a group of Duelists trading cards and explains that people staying in the common room get a chance to strengthen their Decks and get a peek at their opponents ' cards . Yugi is impressed that Haga saw all that with one look . Haga nods to Jonouchi , who is rushing around for trades , and remarks that Yugi ' s friend is fitting in . Ryuzaki didn ' t think it mattered and explained that if your Deck wasn ' t already perfect you weren ' t going to win . Elsewhere Mai complains about having to share a room with everyone else and not even having a shower . Ryuzaki tells her to chill out or she ' d be thrown off the ship . Mai recognizes Ryuzaki as the runner - up of the last tournament and developed a plan . Ryuzaki offers to let her crash in his room . Mai accepted and started acting all flirtatious towards him . Honda and Jonouchi glared on in jealously as they left to the room . Yugi , Jonouchi , Anzu , Honda and Bakura all down in a corner of the common room . Bakura says it will be fun like a sleepover and Yugi and Jonouchi continue to train at " Duel Monsters " . As Ryuzaki shows Mai around his room , Mai says that she heard he is a strong player and that she likes strong guys , as long as they are stronger than her . Mai suggests that they have a Duel and if Ryuzaki wins , she ' ll do whatever he wants all night long . Mai gets Ryuzaki to shuffle her cards , but before they begin the Duel , she gets Ryuzaki to hold her Deck as she calls out what cards she has in order from the top , while she has her eyes closed . She correctly calls out the cards , " The Alluring Shadow " , " Harpy Lady " , " Blonde Wave " and " Cyber Bondage " . Ryuzaki thinks this is impossible , but Mai claims that she always knows her cards and can draw whatever she wants . She asks if Ryuzaki still wants to Duel her and adds that if he loses she gets to have the room . Ryuzaki still accepts . Yugi and his friends go out onto the deck of the ship for some fresh air . Grandpa , still in the video in Yugi ' s camcorder , tells Yugi he ' s suspicious of this tournament and asks why Pegasus would be gathering all these Duelists . Yugi agrees it ' s suspicious , but he still has to go through with it , as it ' s the only way to free Grandpa . Haga comes out on to the deck and starts to talk with Yugi . He asks if Yugi made any trades in the common area , but as he expected , Yugi was sticking with the deck he had already made . Haga believes they are the cards Yugi used to defeat Kaiba and asks if the deck contains " Exodia " . Yugi is impressed that Haga already knows his moves . Haga asks if he can see the " Exodia " cards , but Yugi is a bit unsure . Haga explains that the cards are so rare , he ' s never seen them . Yugi decides that Haga already knows he has the cards , he won ' t be giving anything away to Haga , so he lets him see them . As he looks at the cards , Haga talks about how he had spent a lot of time trying to work out a strategy to defeat " Exodia " , but couldn ' t come up with anything . However he claims to have now figured out a strategy and tosses the cards overboard into the sea . Seeing what just happened , Jonouchi dives into the water to retrieve the cards . His friends quickly get the rescue equipment and throw it down to Jonouchi , who has only managed to retrieve two of the cards . Angered Yugi switches to Dark Yugi , who vows to take out Haga first when they get to the kingdom . Haga just smirks and says that he ' d like to see him try . Elsewhere , Ryuzaki gets kicked out of his room , after losing the room to Mai . The next morning the ship arrived at the Duelist Kingdom island . Featured cards .
