### Episode 70

Yugi and his friends struggle to qualify for the Battle City tournament hosted by Seto Kaiba. A mysterious boy who calls himself Namu also enters the qualification. In truth he is Malik Ishtar, the heir of the Egyptian Tomb Keepers, who wants revenge on the Pharaoh. While contacting Joey/Jyounouchi and Téa/Anzu as Namu, he is using the Rare Hunters to attack and capture them and force Yami and Seto Kaiba into a tag team duel with Lumis and Umbra.

Prior to the assault, Malik alias Namu is helping an injured Ryu Bakura. Joey and his friends are calling a taxi to bring Bakura into a hospital. After Namu befriends Joey and Téa, telling them that he is also a duelist wanting to qualify for the tournament, he is asking them for a few dueling tips. In the meanwhile, a group of three Rare Hunters approach the group and suddenly starts assaulting them. Joey gets punched and falls to the ground. Malik pretends to be surprised. One of the Hunters grabs him by the shoulders, while another one gives him a punch to the gut and the face.

As the assailants continue to kick Malik lying on the ground, Joey charges in and beats up two of them, but the third Hunter takes Téa as a hostage. The two beaten guys stand up again, and as a payback, one punches Joey in the face, while the other one knees him to the stomach. Joey falls to the ground again, unconscious.
