Jonouchi and Valon’s battle rages to its roaring climax as Jonouchi attempts to turn the duel around by augmenting the very same armor that Valon used against him! But is Jonouchi’s strategy just a pale imitation that’s never as good as the original? And there’s also no rest for the weary – after their duel is over, a new duelist is ready to pick up the pieces and battle the winner!
