So even though this was filler, this arc made Rex and Weevil into utterly irredeemable people. They were willing to sign up to an apocalypse cult and basically kill people because they were jealous of the champion of a recreational activity they enjoyed.

[@josemolinanavarro5741]

Let's say they were traumatized by their hefty fall from grace and the mistreatment from their former fans... oh, and the beating they received from the big brother of a little (former) fan they extorted a rare card from... oh, and the friends of said brother. Not just jealousy.

[@devo342]

Dogs were peeing on them ffs

[@angelmacias1293]

For Weevil to do it, it's not surprising since he was an irredeemable blood-sucking leech from the start and proved it once more when he dueled Joey. But in Rex's case, it was pretty much out of character for him and honestly the filler really did him dirty. Rex was never Weevil's friend or partner, they were simply introduced together as regional champions before they each went their own separate ways and Rex certainly wasn't nearly as bad as Weevil. Yeah he was arrogant and cocky, but he most definitely played fair, was pretty much a man of his word, and had honor as a duelist. And also, he never held any grudge against Joey for beating him and even went as far as to try and warn him about Espa Roba's "psychic powers" when dueling him. Kinda feel bad for him, but then again Rex wasn't the only character who was ruined in this season.

[@neilyoungboy]

I actually wish they brought back that bully Kaiba OTK with Obelisk the Tormentor, so he could duel Kaiba at the same time.

[@jaohonaxa]

And yet at least during Rex's duel it seemed like they were trying to make Rex sound sympathetic, I actually appreciate that the 4kids dub of Joey in that scene had him reply to Rex's sob story with: "Get a life". The two of them ultimately have themselves to blame for how their lives turned to crap.

@@DownhillTabletop Or, alternatively, it just inverts the target for Poison Butterfly's effect and possibly increases the burn damage a bit (such as bumping it up from 500 LP per turn to something like 750 LP per turn), so that the burn damage stops hitting Atem and instead begins hitting Weevil, which would then force Weevil into a position of now having to become far more aggressive about winning, as a way to force Weevil out of his relatively "passive" dueling style where he relies more on burn damage and screwing with his opponent's monsters without outright destroying them, and by locking down his opponent's monsters via his DNA Surgery/Insect Barrier combo.

On Weevils turn he activates his Infestation and wins the game.

[@TGSAnime]

This is true, weevil definitely got too cocky

[@Random1567]

Eh, Weevil couldn’t have known that. Weevil doesn’t know what Yugi might do with his monsters after summoning Breaker, he may end up with only 1 or no monsters for all he knows, so although that play could have won it for him, from Weevil’s pov there’s no easy way to tell when it’s best to activate it depending on Yugi’s play, so may as well do it as soon as he can when it’s enough for poison butterfly to do fatal damage So all in all, that play mainly works if he knows what Yugi’s cards are. “But it’s the safe play” but not if Yugi ends up with less monsters before he can play the trap, so that might be why he did it. Just wanted to ensure he could do 200 damage then and there before it was too late.

@@GDExodus He had no way to know Yugi had that card on his hand tho.

[@NevarKanzaki]

@@VixYW It doesn't really matter. Basic good card game theory is that the strongest time to play a card is at the last possible optimal moment. This is why you generally play shrink and other atk modifying cards in the damage step, not before your opponent declares attackers. This is especially so in the case of traps because if your opponent doesn't know what it is, it could be anything. In this case, if it doesn't get played, Yugi can do his breaker effect into two attacks. It isn't enough to kill so Weevil doesn't need to use it to reduce damage. Yugi is free to think that he still has a turn left to live. Then Weevil activates it at the end of turn and it is game over. Technically, Weevil actually saves himself the 100 life points he lost from using it before his own creature was destroyed but takes 200 more from the two attacks. Either way, holding this till end of turn lets the opponent believe they have another turn to live so waiting till the end of turn to play it is smart. So there's no way to know what card the opponent had but there's enough reason to make the correct play for other reasons.

[@gamester512]

I actually had someone rage-quit on me in Master Duel too....while I was using a variation of the infamously brick-prone Blue-Eyes deck. I played Maiden with Eyes of Blue in face-up attack, and then I set Mirror Force as a backup in case of an emergency, and then I ended my turn. My opponent summons and attacks into my Maiden (basically, they didn't read her effect and simply saw me with a monster in face-up attack with 0 ATK), so I respond by activating her effect to negate the attack, switch her to defense position, and then special summon a BEWD to my side of the field in face-up attack position. As soon as my BEWD hit the field, my opponent rage-quit. Apparently they didn't have an answer for even a single BEWD. I also had another duel where my opponent essentially defeated *THEMSELVES* for me due to a single massive misplay. I go second, and my starting hand consists of Speed Warrior, Monster Reborn, Mirror Force, Bottomless Trap Hole, Destruction Jammer, & Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. I set all of the traps and I set Speed Warrior face-down and end my turn. My opponent's second turn starts and they play Red-Eyes Insight, sending Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning to the graveyard to activate it and add Red-Eyes Fusion to their hand. They then activate Red-Eyes Fusion, sending Gearfriend the Red-Eyes Iron Knight & Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the graveyard to summon Red-Eyes Slash Dragon, and I immediately hit Slash Dragon with Bottomless Trap Hole to remove it from play. They immediately end their turn. My second turn comes around and I draw Cynet Optimization (leaving me with just Cynet Optimization & Monster Reborn in my hand). I play Monster Reborn and snatch my opponent's Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning, and then I set Cynet Optimization (as a bluff to hopefully bait any trap removal towards the spell card rather than my actual traps), and I then attack directly with Red-Eyes Archfiend for 2500 direct damage (I keep Speed Warrior face-down as a bit of extra protection and to keep them guessing as to what my face-down monster actually is) and I end my turn. My opponent then plays Black Dragon Chick and uses it's effect to special summon a Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the field, and then they activate Black Metal Dragon from their hand to equip it to their Red-Eyes Black Dragon, boosting it up to 3000 ATK (making it strong enough to just defeat my Red-Eyes Archfiend straight up....if not for my Mirror Force & Scrap-Iron Scarecrow traps). ....And then they make their misplay that costs them the entire duel. They play the Claw of Hermos, targeting their Red-Eyes Black Dragon with it to fusion summon the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword (sending the Black Metal Dragon to the graveyard in the process). The problem? They have no monsters face-up on the field anymore except their sword, and it must be equipped to a face-up monster on the field....and I'm the only one with a face-up monster on the field, the Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning, so they are forced to equip MY Archfiend with the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword, boosting it up to 5500 ATK (the exact amount needed to end the duel with one more direct attack). They have no other options available and they end their turn. My turn comes around and I draw Enemy Controller (this becomes important very soon!). I immediately declare an attack with my Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning for game, and they activate Mirror Force, so I respond by discarding Enemy Controller to activate Destruction Jammer to negate and destroy their Mirror Force, and my direct attack goes through and deals the exact amount of damage needed to reduce them to 0 LP, ending the duel on the spot. I legitimately felt bad for my opponent in that duel. One misplay and they essentially defeated themselves. If they had just been a bit less gung-ho about playing Claw of Hermos, they might have actually found an answer to the lock-down I had them in. Sure, I still had Mirror Force & Scrap-Iron Scarecrow face-down, but they very easily could have had an answer to one or both traps in their hand or deck somewhere.

I looked at the field for a second and then summoned my treeborn frog in attack instead of defense like normal. He drew a card (mandatory) from Maxx C, and his Slifer triggered, and blew it up.

[@KnightofFunnyJunk]

Yugi's deck is fascinating. During the Pegasus arc, Yugi's deck was based around DnD concepts, fantasy and medieval aesthetics hence why it was filled with so many different sword wielders, elves, and magicians. During Battle City, Yugi keeps this aesthetic but optimizes it a little better so he doesnt brick his hand as often as he did during Duelist Kingdom. The only real slight changes we see namely come from what support cards he seems to have in his deck. I can totally buy that a lot of Yugi's more frequently used magic cards like Magical Hats, Mystic Box, Spellbinding Circle and Magic Cylinder were all to lean into the "Dark Magician" support deck that slowly optimizes itself near the end of the series. But then Yugi just seems to have shit in his deck that he just magically has that doesnt aesthetically fit his play style. I get that Yugi has contingency plans for everything and there isnt exactly scenes of Yugi in silent contemplation tweaking his deck between duels but you'd think Yugi was walking around with a deck filled with 5000 cards. It reminds me how during the Semi Final match up between Yugi and Kaiba, when Kaiba played Final Attack orders, Yugi looked like he still had a full deck full of shit he hadnt even begun to play yet until Kaiba told him to brick his deck. So no, I dont think Weevil had a chance in hell to defeat Yugi because him pulling "Berserker Soul" out of the endless card abyss that is Yugi's deck of situational cards is nothing short of an act of god.

I know realize the word "Moth" exists in "Behemoth". ---- Poisoned Butterfly had 2700 attack points... most monster cards get 400-600 attack points as a bonus from The Eye of Timaeus.

6:02 The reason why Weevil has another Insect Queen card is because before they set off to duel their targets, Dartz/Doma gang gave them access to a huge room with nearly EVERY card ever printed in the game ( aside from god cards & 3 BEWD) of course. Hence why Rex & Weevil have turbo powered decks now.

[@Jotari]

I legit think this is one of the best duels in the series. Weavil, who's been made a joke of a character up until this point, just runs rings around Yugi up until the end, really ramping up the tension. Everything Yugi tries just fails outright until he manages to take it back at the end with one magnificent play (sure it's a pair of cards he has literally never used before but that's a pretty recurring issue with the series) that really shows off his emotions, because Weavil has been the perfect annoying little shit the entire time. The top of a runaway train is also a suitably dynamic and dramatic location for the duel. I wonder how the Seal of Orichalcos would have reacted had Yugi not warned Weavil and one of the duelists had been brained against a rock mid duel.

I also figured the one that deals damage would be weaker in terms of attack points as balance.

LOL best ending to a “Was character about to defeat someone” EVER! I’m over dying that was too much

[@dudebladeX]

The problem with the Eye of Tamias is that the real world version is explicitly Dark Magician/Dark Magician Girl support. In order for it to be a real world card, there would have to be a specific ruling or some alternate summoning condition to bring out what I would presume to be Poison-Winged Tamias, a monster that I would assume would just deal a flat 1000 damage to the opponent during each end phase and maybe have 3000 ATK baseline. Hard to say, the rules of the legendary dragons and what they bring out (as well as how they bring them out) are weird.

[@ryuudraco592]

They would either have to remake tamias or make poison butterfly "this card is treated as dark magician" which while funny cuz that means weevil literally put that card in for Yugi it really wouldn't make sense

[@dudebladeX]

@@ryuudraco592 The explicit card text on Tamias reads "(This card is also always treated as "Legendary Dragon Timaeus".) Target 1 "Dark Magician" monster you control; Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monsterfrom your Extra Deck that lists that monster on the field as Fusion Material, using it as the Fusion Material. You can only activate 1 "The Eye of Timaeus" per turn." So that means that it would need to have a similar text for it to work.

@@dudebladeX Basically Atem misplayed ;)

[@mystery8820]

It’s spelled Timaeus.

[@wolfgod6443]

5:41 As cool as the explanation is, before this duel Rex and Weevil were given access to nearly every card in the game by Dartz once they joined his cult. Weevil probably just got a new one there. That's also most likely where Rex got Tyrant Dragon.

[@chdest4550]

Timaeus Butterfly fusion idea: Poison Moth Dragon WIND, Level 8, Insect/Fusion/Effect, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2000 Effect: Eye of Timaeus + Insect monster "This card gains 500 ATK for each insect monster on the field. During the end phase, if this card did not attack: inflict damage to your opponent equal to half this card's ATK." I really wanted to make it so that this card fits the situation and its Weevil's fault he loses, it gains a bunch of ATK because all the monsters on the field are insects and it deals a ton of damage because it can't attack. It seems like one of those anime bs cards but that's what most of the dragon fusions are anyway.

[@supervegito8340]

I see two ways weevil could have won. He leaves legal on the field. He attacks every turn. Then by the time it’s time for yugi to take that 200 damage from infestation it’s all yugi has. Also if he didn’t activate infestation or waited a bit yugi couldn’t have used berserker soul and he could have won that way too.

[@MistaShadowman]

So Timaeus only works with a 'Dark Magician' monster, so maybe something like this: Dark Poison Sage DARK/Spellcaster 3000 ATK/2600 DEF 1 'Dark Magician' monster + 1 Insect-type monster Must first be Fusion Summoned. During each of your End Phases, inflict 500 damage to your opponent, and if you do, all monsters your opponent currently controls lose 500 ATK/DEF. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; place 1 Poison Counter on it. Monsters with Poison Counters have their effects negated and, during the Battle Phase, lose 1000 ATK/DEF. If this card is sent to the GY by your opponent's card: You can Special Summon 1 'Dark Magician' monster in your GY in Defense Position. Edit: wanted to make sure the effect negation part works all the time and not just in the Battle Phase

Hey Konami printed Cosmic Blazar Dragon a card that was never seen but mentioned in 5ds. So yeah Konami can definitely print out a poison butterfly Timaeus fusion card.

The fact knowing that the puzzles power is to will whatever card you desperately want/need to the top of the deck and Yami Yugi just went crazy with monster cards says alot

[@trevorburke8660]

Poison Dragonfly: 2800 Atk 2500 Def During each of your opponents standby phases: Your opponent loses 500 life points. When this card destroys a monster your opponent controls by battle, your opponent loses life points equal to 1/2 of the destroyed monsters attack in the graveyard. (This would obviously be either a butterfly with dragon wings or a dragon with butterfly wings.) Also, I love that the only reason berserker soul can work in this sense is because the in-anime breaker is weaker than the irl breaker. Its rare that the in-anime card is weaker than the irl card, but irl breaker has 1600 base and gains +300 with his spell counter, giving him 1900 when initially summoned. They had to actually nerf the anime version to make it work out this way.

[@masonhunt5887]

I love the Dub version of Berserker Barrage from Yugi. "This just isn't your day" as he attacks again! Lol

[@mlpfanboy1701]

11:04 Poison butterfly wings Insect/fusion/effect This card must be special summoned by the effects of “eye of Tobias” sacrificing “poison butterfly”. This card gains 500 attack and defense for each insect monster on the field and in both players graveyard. Your opponent must pay 500 life points to activate a card effect or declare an attack. Once per turn; if you receive a direct attack while this card is face up on the field: gain life points equal to double the damage you take. While this card is face up on the field: you take no effect damage.

[@roninwarriorsfan]

The Eye of Timeaus can only target cards with Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl in their card names though. Timaeus the United Dragon however could merge with Poison Butterfly

[@Zakharon]

Technically if he waited to flip over infestation in the end phase Yugi would not have been able to use Berserker soul and Weevil would have won.

[@lookw]

see i dont actually think so since there is a card that we never really see in yugis hand that he never plays (or rather never needed to play more likely). Now he likely did plan to use berserkers soul but i think his original intention was likely to draw and play queens knight (the first card he draws to berserkers soul) who has exactly 1500 attack points. Im not sure if his deck has any draw then play effects like that but in either case it could have been something that he could have used to get a 1500 atk power monster out to use berserkers rage on.. or it could have been something that allowed yugi to get rid of poison butterfly (maybe even swap monster?) Either way Weevil made things simple by reducing breakers attack to 1500

[@JayceCH.]

@@lookw Yea, his unrevealed card could have just been something to enable Berserker's Soul too. The good old Yugioh asspull.

[@randolphrosenberg2994]

Ok I'll give it a whack: Butterfly of the Dragon's Eye 1000 ATK 2700 DEF You can only activate each effect of "Butterfly of the Dragon's Eye" once per turn: •You can target one insect type monster on the field, attach it to this card. This card gains ATK points equal to the DEF of that monster until the end of your opponents next turn. •Target one monster that is attached to this card: Special summon it to your side of the field, but return it to the deck during the end phase. Then, inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's level x100. This sort of parallels bug-eyes' continuous spell obsession during this duel, as well as his "your monsters/deck are infested with bugs now!" thing.

[@uncleweirdbeard86]

Tamias, The Poison Swarm. Level 9 Insect. Atk 2700, Def 1800. Effect. During each end phase, your opponent looses 100 life and their monsters loose 100 Atk for as long as the remain on the field. As many times as you like, you may discard a card from your hand to create a copy of Tamias, the Poison Swarm, but destroy it during your opponents end phase and take 500 damage. Once during either players turn, you can sacrifice 2 insects from your field to destroy 1 card on the field, but you cannot attack the turn you use this effect

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

Legendary Dragonfly Timaeus Effect: This card is also treated as an Insect monster while it is face-up on the field. Once per turn you can destroy up to as many spell and trap cards on the field equal to the number of Dragon or Insect monsters on the field then deal 500 points of damage to each player for each insect type monster they control.
