Yu-Gi-Oh!/PaniK Attack

PaniK Attack is an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Numerous listings refer to this episode as Panik Attack, however the official Yu-Gi-Oh! website spells the titular character's name as "PaniK", therefore the episode will be referred to as such on this wiki.
This episode is a merger of two episodes, the Yugi vs. PaniK duel. The individual episodes are titled The Light at the End of the Tunnel and Winning Through Intimidation. However, this merged version aired on Kids' WB!, Cartoon Network, and The CW's Toonzai and Vortexx blocks, with the two individual episodes airing in other countries that received the dub from 4Kids Entertainment, as well as the DVD release and streaming releases. The individual episodes made their debuts on the 4Kids TV block on Fox in 2007, and later also aired on Nicktoons.
To merge the two episodes together, a lot of the moves during the duel were sped up, with the song "PaniK" playing over it. Unlike "Your Move" from the similar Weevil merger, this song is not on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Music to Duel By CD, but it did get a commercial release as part of a promotional CD given away with a McDonald's Mighty Kids Meal.
It is unknown currently why this happened, but it is speculated that it was due to the original premiere of Yu-Gi-Oh! on Kids' WB! being delayed by two weeks due to 9/11 to keep the schedule on track, or possibly Kids' WB!'s Standards and Practices due to the theme of this duel involving trying to get into someone's head and manipulate them.
