He tempted Jonouchi to try attack his monster and make him feel pain. Jonouchi noted the identical ATK values of "Helpoemer" and "Panther Warrior", meaning an attack would result in a stalemate. Jonouchi recognized this monster from when it had caused Mai pain.

As the screws in the "Viser Des" torture device bore into Jonouchi's monster's head, Jonouchi felt the same sensation. He dropped to his knees in pain and clasped onto the sides of his head. Dark Marik laughed and stated that Jonouchi could not avoid the pain and the more his hatred grows, the more he will suffer. Understanding the pain Mai endured, Jonouchi refused to forgive Dark Marik and swore to help her get revenge. To Dark Marik's surprise, Jonouchi managed to overcome the pain and stand up.

Jonouchi threatened to open a hole in Dark Marik's stomach and used the effect of "Rocket Warrior". Dark Mari recoiled in pain. However Dark Marik stood up straight again and laughed, since the battle was going as planned. The effect of "Helpoemer", caused it to be placed in Jonouchi's Graveyard, where Jonouchi could hear it reciting poems of Hell. An arm extended out of his Graveyard, grabbed a card from Jonouchi's hand and pulled it into the Graveyard.

Dark Marik explained that this would happen during each of Jonouchi's Battle Phases. Dark Marik reviewed Jonouchi's monsters and saw no major threat. When he ended his turn without attacking, Jonouchi became cautious that he had a trap lined up. Jonouchi drew " Jinzo ". The effect of "Helpoemer" also activated, taking "Jinzo" from Jonouchi's hand. From Jonouchi's reaction, Dark Marik could tell he had just lost an important card.

Since "Malevolent Catastrophe" destroys all cards on the field and Jonouchi had five cards, he planned on using it with "Coffin Seller" to take out Jonouchi's remaining Life Points. Dark Marik Sacrificed "Gil Garth" for " Legend Devil ", warning Jonouchi that he would need to defeat it straight away or it would get stronger each turn.

Jonouchi smiled and said that it was Dark Marik who had played into his hands. He activated " Question " and explained that each player was to guess the top monster in their opponents' Graveyard and if an opponent guessed wrong, the player got to Summon their monster. Dark Marik did not get to revive his monster, but Jonouchi got " Jinzo ", whose effect destroyed "Coffin Seller" and "Malevolent Catastrophe". Mokuba asked Kaiba if Jonouchi could win, but Kaiba told him not to insult the holder of a God card.

Jonouchi clasped his head and pain and had his card discarded. Dark Marik said that it would not end there; he was now considering how to repay Jonouchi for the pain he made him suffer that turn. Dark Marik drew and Summoned " Lava Golem ". Dark Marik clarified that the monster was being Summoned to Jonouchi's field, with two of his monsters, "Jinzo" and "Baby Dragon", as Sacrifices. Jonouchi found himself imprisoned in the steel cage that hung from the monster's neck.

Dark Marik said he should be grateful to gain control of a ATK monster, but it would scorch the earth each turn, causing its controller great pain. Dark Yugi was certain that Dark Marik would not simply hand such a powerful monster to Jonouchi and knew he had some hidden strategy.

He and Jonouchi were both hopeful, that Jonouchi's next draw would be " Giant Trunade " to clear the path for a safe attack, but he got " Foolish Burial ". Jonouchi knew that Dark Marik had a trap prepared, but with by taking no action, his Life Points would wither away, so he opted to attack.

He accompanies Yugi throughout his adventures. Linework of Joey in his Duelist Kingdom attire. Joey's character design was overseen by Kazuki Takahashi. In the first seven volumes of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Originally featuring two large fringes in front of his ears, the hairstyle changes to a sporadically arranged taper-like and unrealistic hairstyle. Joey's first color appearance depicts him with medium brown hair and black eyes.

Subsequent appearances lighten the hair color to dirty blond and blond. His eyes are portrayed as brown or hazel. In the first series anime, Joey's hairstyle does not change, and the sporadic hairstyle colored in a bright blond style is used.

His eyes are brown. In the second series anime, he has dirty blond hair in the sporadic hairstyle and dark brown eyes. His usual outfit from the second series anime consists of a long green open jacket with a raised collar, a white T-shirt underneath and blue jeans. Later in the series, his green jacket is replaced with a blue denim one. He often carries a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm. In Yu-Gi-Oh!

GX , Joey is seen in a flashback wearing a red version of his battle city shirt. Joey started out as a bully, but becoming friends with Yugi Muto changes this.

Joey can seem gullible, sarcastic, impulsive, and occasionally cocky; but he is also heroic, loyal, bold, kind-hearted, caring, good-natured, funny, brave, selfless and loving. Though portrayed as comic relief, he is essential to the plot and the series' overall theme. He is an enthusiastic Duelist, who firmly believes that Dueling is about fighting to help people you love.

Like Seto Kaiba , Joey deeply cares for his younger sister, Serenity Wheeler and will do anything to make her happy. He is extremely protective of her, which he shows once by sacrificing his own life in order to ensure her safety. He also gets protective of her when boys like Tristian or Duke want to take her out on a date.

He often gets freaked out or offended easily; he responds rather impulsively to insults, especially remarks about his outward appearance, such as his hair or his outfit, or his Dueling skills. In the dub, he also gets upset when people compare him to an animal, such as a monkey or a dog. He can get hasty once mad as evidenced with him attacking Odion as the latter had 4 Trap Cards.

In the Japanese version, Joey does not use honorifics, which means he has a "rude" speech pattern. When talking to people he doesn't like, Joey uses the word "teme" a rude form of "you" in Japanese, often translated as "you bastard" instead of his normal "omae" a form of "you" that in context is used between friends, but can imply that the person being spoken to has a lower status than the speaker does if used incorrectly , especially to Seto Kaiba , who does not think highly of Joey.

The speech pattern translates into the dub, in which it is represented by Joey voiced by Wayne Grayson speaking with a Brooklyn accent. He refers to himself as "The Godfather of Games" in the movie. His contempt for Kaiba in the dub is symbolized by calling him 'rich boy'.

In the Southeast Asian dub, Joey voiced by Dwayne Tan in this dub noticeably lacks the Brooklyn accent he has in the dub.

Time roulette" He called the Big Five " ejecutivillos " " businessman-erinos " in a Ned Flanders-esque style. In the Swedish dub of the anime his name is Katsuya Jonouchi , like in the original Japanese, but to fit 4Kids' edited script, he was given the nickname Jono.

His name is sometimes spelled Katsuya Jyonouchi in the Japanese anime. His dub name could be based on the character of Wheeler from Captain Planet who also has a Brooklyn accent and a voice actor named Joey. Bandit Keith also nicknamed Jonouchi "Joey" as an insult. Joey and his sister, Serenity Wheeler , were separated when their parents divorced when he was Serenity was brought up by her mother while Joey lived with his father.

Joey never said a word to his mother after that. At some point in the past, Tristan heard Joey was getting into a fight with some gang members while standing up for a kid and rushed to his aid.

Although they defeated them, Joey thought Tristan only did it because he saw Joey as a child who couldn't stand up for himself. Years later, Joey realized Tristan did this because he was a true friend who would never abandon Joey. Joey and Tristan Taylor used to bully Yugi Muto at school. At one point Joey took a piece of Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and threw it into a swimming pool from a window outside of their classroom.

However, when Ushio started beating up Joey and Tristan, Yugi stood up for them, saying they were his friends. Joey was inspired by how Yugi had tried to help him and came to care for Yugi. He retrieved the piece of the puzzle in the pool and gave it to Yugi. Yami Yugi then punished Ushio with a Penalty Game. After taking up Duel Monsters, it becomes clear that Joey isn't very good at the game initially as his Deck was full of Monster Cards and no Spells or Traps , so Yugi suggests that Joey take lessons from Solomon.

The training proves rigorous, yet Joey copes and becomes a stronger Duelist. He makes the top eight in the regional tournament nationals in the Japanese version. Joey accompanies Yugi in the Duelist Kingdom tournament, to help Yugi rescue Solomon and so he can use the prize money, to pay for Serenity's eye operation.

Here Joey meets Mai Valentine for the first time. At this point she claims he is not worth her time. After Weevil tosses Yugi's " Exodia " cards overboard, Joey dives in to the water to rescue them, he manages to retrieve two of the cards, before Yugi dives in to rescue Joey. Once safely back on board, Joey tells his friends of his sister and her condition. He later beats Rex Raptor in a Duel, where he is not allowed to accept help from Yugi. Joey as the " Flame Swordsman ".

Joey is trapped in the " Flame Swordsman " card, but appears on the field, when Yami Yugi Summons him. Yami then uses it to revive Joey. Afterwards Joey believes the events of the Duel to have been a dream. In attempt to get revenge, he has a Duel outside of the tournament, against Seto Kaiba, where he is brutally defeated. Joey loses confidence after this defeat and briefly leaves his friends before being forced into a Duel against Bonz.

Joey then qualified to the semi-finals. Pegasus then mentioned that each Duelist must hold one of two entry cards or face disqualification. In order to keep Joey in the competition, Yugi gave him one of his entry cards. Although Bandit Keith steals Joey's card, Joey proceeds to defeat Keith in the semi-finals, because Mai gave Joey one of her entry cards after she loses to Yugi. In the final round Joey uses everything he learned from Yugi, throughout the tournament.

Despite their friendship, neither of them hold back and Yugi wins after a close Duel. Joey remains on the sideline cheering for Yugi in the final. After Yugi defeats Pegasus, he gives Joey the prize money for Serenity's operation.

The gang went to KaibaCorp to help Seto. Mai reluctantly admitted it was her trying to avoid them thinking she was their friend. While Joey is helpful in saving Kaiba, Kaiba says he wouldn't ever consider Joey a teammate. After Duke Devlin transfers to Domino High, Joey becomes jealous of his popularity and challenges him to a Duel, where if Joey wins, Duke must shut down the game shop he'd just opened, since Solomon had been complaining about the loss of business his own game shop was getting as a result in the original however, Joey would win over Duke's adoring fans and make them his own groupies.

Duke sets the stakes so that if he wins Joey must do as he says. Keith left without the others noticing he had taken the card and Jonouchi assumed he had just stumbled into the wrong room.

Jonouchi pointed out that he had asked Mai when they Dueled and asked if she even knew the answer herself. Mai replied that she came up with her own answer and Jonouchi offered to answer on Dark Yugi's behalf, saying that the answer is "friendship".

She thought to herself that Jonouchi was the one who taught her the answer, so he should know. As Mai proceeded to overpower Dark Yugi, Jonouchi started to thing that he had been lucky when he beat Mai before. Mai disagreed and asked Jonouchi if he knew why he had gotten so for in the tournament. Jonouchi credited it to his friends, saying there was no other way a bad player like himself could have gotten that far. Mai said he was right; he knew and accepted his weakness and worked to overcome it.

As she elaborated, Dark Yugi realized how he had been fighting wrong [97] and was able to defeat Mai. Keith annoyed Jonouchi by putting his feet on the table before their Duel and asked if Jonouchi would lick the bottom of his boot in exchange for him forfeiting. Jonouchi was unable to find his "The Honor of the King's Right" and was given five minutes to produce it before he would be disqualified. Jonouchi ran around to look for the card and dropped to his knees in defeat after four minutes.

Mai spotted him weeping and told him to save his tears for if he loses. She handed him her qualification card, which she no longer needed and said that Jonouchi shouldn't give up on his wishes. Jonouchi tried asking why she did this for him, but she reminded him he had no time. As he ran back to the Duel room, Mai thought to herself "You idiot.. Jonouchi Duels Keith.

Keith's Machine - Type monsters immunity to magical attacks was an obstacle for Jonouchi. He thought he had an opening when Keith played " Zoa ", but Keith transformed it into a Machine with " Metalmorph " when Jonouchi attacked it. Jonouchi tried fighting a gamble with a gamble and used the "Time Roulette" effect of " Time Wizard ". Anzu thought that Jonouchi and Dark Yugi would have to Duel in the final. However Dark Yugi said it was unnecessary and they would only end up exposing more of their tactics to Pegasus.

Jonouchi was alright with skipping the Duel and letting Dark Yugi face Pegasus as Dark Yugi was the only person he knew capable of defeating Pegasus.

Although he was still unsure if it was okay for him to weigh Dark Yugi down with his baggage, by leaving Dark Yugi Duel for him. On the contrary, Dark Yugi claimed that he would win because he was fighting for Jonouchi, like how Jonouchi won because he was fighting for Shizuka. Pegasus also deemed a Duel between the two of them pointless. They were surprised to hear that Yugi would have his soul sealed in a card if he lost and that he accepted the Duel knowing that.

Anzu explained to Jonouchi that Yugi's soul hadn't died as Yugi had told her before that one Yugi cannot live without the other. Jonouchi feared that this could mean Dark Yugi is on the verge of dying. Jonouchi tried describing how he felt during the Duel, but his friends spoke before he got the chance and said everything he was about to say. Dark Yugi then got Pegasus to tell them the story of how he received the Millennium Eye. Anzu suspected it was because he would only be proving what Pegasus said about the Millennium Items possessing an evil intelligence was true if he did so.

Mokuba woke up shortly after Pegasus returned his soul to his body. He, Jonouchi and Jonouchi's friends went outside the castle, to find Kaiba. While they waited, Jonouchi suggested that Kaiba's soul might have been summoned to Heaven, causing Anzu to snap at him. Jonouchi got a bit teary-eyed when he saw the Kaiba's reunited and thought he just couldn't hate them.

Jonouchi received the prize money from Dark Yugi and asked if it was really okay if he took it. Dark Yugi replied that it was as he thought Jonouchi was the real champion of the kingdom. Jonouchi still insisted that he owed Dark Yugi big time.

Dark Yugi said that he can owe him until the day he beats him, prompting Anzu to ask what Jonouchi's record against the Yugis' was, to which he replied that he had 0 wins and loses starting from the one week earlier. With no boats leaving the island, Kaiba gave Jonouchi and his friends a lift back to Japan in his helicopter as payment for saving him and Mokuba.

With the money from Duelist Kingdom, Jonouchi was able to pay for Shizuka's operation and the doctors predicted that her vision would be fully restored. Jonouchi and Ryuji Otogi playing four aces. At school, Jonouchi got jealous of the new student, Ryuji Otogi , as he impressing some girls with dice tricks. He boasted to Ryuji about his success in Duelist Kingdom. Ryuji acted impressed and offered to play a game with Jonouchi. Ryuji placed a die under a cup and bet Jonouchi that he could move the dice without touching the cup.

The loser of the bet was to do whatever the winner told them to do for the next week. Ryuji claimed that the die had moved, causing Jonouchi to lift the cup to check, allowing Ryuji to grab the die from under it. Ryuji imposed a game of four aces. Ryuji ordered Jonouchi to be his dog and fired dice at his face when he was disobedient. Dark Yugi won both games, granting Jonouchi his freedom. The next day, [] Jonouchi met up with his friends at the grand opening of the Black Clown.

Clown were inside. Yugi refused to leave Dark Yugi behind. Unable to get Yugi to let go of the puzzle, Jonouchi used the Devil's Board Game as a lever to remove the pin and then carried Yugi out. Jonouchi heard of the Battle City tournament from Yugi and was annoyed that Kaiba had not invited him.

He worried about losing his " Red-Eyes Black Dragon " when Yugi told him about the ante rule , but also saw it as an opportunity to get more rare cards. Shizuka's operation had been a success, but she was reluctant to remove the bandage from here eyes. One of the reasons Jonouchi decided to enter the tournament was to show his courage in order to give Shizuka the courage to remove her bandages.

Jonouchi loses to the Rare Hunter. Kaiba assigned Jonouchi a weak Duelist rating of two out of eight stars, making him ineligible for a free Duel Disk. After Jonouchi left, the salesman phoned the Rare Hunters to notify them of Jonouchi's rare card. Jonouchi went over to Kame Game for a while to get Yugi's opinion on his new Deck. As he went home, he was approached by three Rare Hunter Ghouls. Disliking the organization he accepted a Duel with one of them hoping to take them down.

Jonouchi seemed to be winning for the first few turns. However his opponent had three copies of each " Exodia " component in his Deck [] , which were marked with invisible ink [] and managed to gather the five pieces, granting him automatic victory.

Dark Yugi spotted Jonouchi confronting him and challenged the Rare Hunter to a Duel when he heard about what happened. Dark Yugi won back "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" through the ante rule, but Jonouchi refused to take it back without earning it first. With a Puzzle Card , a 40 card Deck and " Time Wizard " as his rare card, he was still able to participate in the tournament.

He vowed to become a true Duelist and asked Dark Yugi if he would Duel him if he did well in the tournament. Jonouchi spotted Dinosaur Ryuzaki being defeated by Esper Roba.

As Roba looked his next opponent, Ryuzaki warned Jonouchi that he would not be able to defeat Roba as he was said to have ESP and was capable of predicting opponents' strategies.

However Jonouchi refused to pass up on any opponent and challenged Roba to a Duel. Ryuzaki demanded to know what happened to the " Red-Eyes Black Dragon ". Jonouchi replied that someone stole it because he screwed-up and although he got it back, his "rival" was holding onto it for him.

Knight " before realizing he had forgotten about the Super Expert Rules and a sacrifice had been required to play that card. Jonouchi was able to use this error to his advantage in the Duel. He also figured that Roba had someone spying on him, because to an onlooker the portion of "Skull Dice" that was visible made it look like "Graceful Dice". However he made it attack his own " Reflect Bounder ", causing both monsters to be destroyed. This left Roba open for a direct attack , allowing Jonouchi to defeat him with " Baby Dragon ".

Roba broke down after the Duel and asked if everyone else enjoyed looking down on him. Jonouchi told him that nobody there thought he was a loser and that he shouldn't be so hard on himself. After his brothers appeared, Roba admitted Jonouchi was right and handed him "Jinzo" and a Puzzle Card. Jonouchi catches the thief. Jonouchi went to the Beef Buster for lunch, where his Duel Disk kept hitting off the customer next to him as he ate.

He refused to take it off when the customer complained, but the staff who had given him complimentary pickles told him not to bother the other customers. When he took it off, a boy working for Insector Haga swiped it and inserted the card " Parasite Paracide " into his Deck as he ran away with it. Jonouchi managed to catch the boy and met up with Anzu, Bakura and Sugoroku as he did so.

The boy lied that he had only tried to steal the Duel Disk temporarily so he could win his own Duel Disk back from someone who had stolen it. Jonouchi offered to help the boy, who left to get the person who stole his Duel Disk. While the others asked Jonouchi if he could trust this boy, he said to have faith and told them about how he was fighting to give Shizuka courage.

Haga, who wanted to beat Jonouchi to coax Yugi into a Duel appeared as Jonouchi's opponent. Jonouchi and Haga 's Duel. Jonouchi drew the "Parasite Paracide" during the Duel , which infected his monsters making them Insect -Type [] and ineligible as Sacrifices. As other consequences, he couldn't attack when Haga had " Insect Barrier " in play and his monsters strengthened Haga's " Insect Queen ". Jonouchi was able to get at Haga's Life Points by using " Magic Arm Shield " to make "Insect Queen" attack her own egg [] and attacking another egg with " Gearfried the Iron Knight " who was immune to the parasite.

The rare card that Jonouchi took was "Insect Queen". Jonouchi thought he was being insulted at first, but Bakura said he loved grotesque cards and wished he had them in his Deck. Jonouchi was surprised Bakura had a Deck and was afraid on hearing it was an Occult Deck.

Bakura got separated from the group as Jonouchi, Anzu and Sugoroku ran there. Unbeknownst to the others Marik Ishtar had a Rare Hunter watching them. Ryota Kajiki turned out to be the Duelist. He laughed at Jonouchi thinking he stood a chance against his Sea Deck, but accepted the challenge.

The others at the aquarium were waiting to see a killer whale show and thought the Duel must be an opening act. Jonouchi Duels Kajiki.

Jonouchi forget to take the " Parasite Paracide " out of his Deck and it infected his monsters again, until Kajiki destroyed it with " Torrential Tribute ".

Jonouchi began to put up a better fight from then on. Kajiki used " Tornado Wall " to block further attacks. Kajiki used his Sea Stealth strategy to hide his monsters in the water and also Summoned "Fortress Whale". He equipped "Panther Warrior" with " Lightning Blade ", striking his sword embedded in "Fortress Whale" with lightning, killing it and causing it to fall into the water, electrocuting Kajiki's other monsters.

Kajiki used " Return of the Doomed " to bring back a monster which hid in the water. Jonouchi used " Giant Trunade " to remove "Umi" and was surprised to see that he brought back "Legendary Fisherman" rather than "Fortress Whale".

Jonouchi questioned Kajiki's decision to revive "Legendary Fisherman" rather than the stronger "Fortress Whale". Kajiki insisted it didn't matter, but Jonouchi refused to accept a victory when his opponent threw the game.

Kajiki explained that "Legendary Fisherman" was his trump card, which he always fights alongside because of its resemblance to his father and he couldn't leave it in his Graveyard.

Kajiki thought he was being silly, but Jonouchi said he would have done the same thing. Kajiki tried giving Jonouchi "Legendary Fisherman" instead of "Leviathan" as it was his most valuable card. At first Jonouchi couldn't accept because of its sentimental value, but Kajiki assured him that if his father would think he was putting too much faith in a card and that his father will always fight by his side even without the card.

Marik befriends Jonouchi and Anzu, through his alter ego, "Namu". Jonouchi was about to use his Puzzle Cards to find the location of the finals, but he, Anzu and Sugoroku were interrupted by the sight of Bakura wounded and being helped walk by Marik.

Marik lied that his name was "Namu" and he had found Bakura lying on the street. Two guys tried picking a fight with Bakura over him stealing a Duel Disk and hit Marik as he tried defending Bakura, but Jonouchi proceeded to beat up the two attackers. Sugoroku took Bakura to the hospital afterwards and Jonouchi thanked Marik for his help.

Marik was also a contestant in Battle City. Pretending to not be very good, he said he hoped he wouldn't Duel Jonouchi [] and asked him for Dueling advice. He gave Jonouchi the incentive to kill Yugi and had Ghouls fill Jonouchi's Deck with direct damage Spell Cards , which were Forbidden in the tournament. Dark Yugi and Jonouchi each had a hand chained onto an anchor set to drop 15 seconds after one of them lost the Duel or forty minutes after the beginning of the Duel.

When a player won, they were given access to a key and could use the fifteen seconds to uncuff themselves from the anchor. Jonouchi quickly gained the upperhand with his new Spell Cards. Yugi took over from Dark Yugi, believing he could get through to Jonouchi. Although Marik told Jonouchi to take "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", the will of Jonouchi's regular self who had promised not to take that card back until he proved himself a duelist, caused him take " Card Destruction " instead.

Yugi then Summoned and attacked with "Red-Eyes". Yugi admitted that he couldn't bring himself to win the Duel, so he gave Jonouchi the Millennium Puzzle to stop it being dragged into the ocean. In the last eight minutes of the Duel, Marik ordered Jonouchi to do nothing and wait for both players to be dragged into the water.

However Yugi reminded Jonouchi of his promises to owe the Yugis one and Duel them after proving himself. Jonouchi continued the Duel and eventually drew " Meteor of Destruction " [] He resisted Marik's command to use it to kill Yugi for a while, but was eventually forced to use it. Fearing to see Yugi die, he managed to break Marik's hold over him.

Yugi used " Mystical Rift Panel " to allow him to choose the meteor's target. He used this time to explain to what had happened and how Jonouchi overcame Marik's mind control before choosing himself as the meteor's target.

Yugi told Jonouchi to take his key and save himself. Jonouchi took off his Duel Disk and the Millennium Puzzle and then used his chain to swing over and grab Yugi's key. Both of them were dragged into the water as the anchor fell, but Jonouchi was able to uncuff Yugi. He was unable to free himself with Yugi's key, but Kaiba dropped the other key into the water to let Jonouchi save himself. Kaiba claimed that he only helped because he admired Jonouchi's stupidity in taking time to remove his Duel Disk rather than grab his own key, but secretly thought to himself that Jonouchi was finally a decent Duelist.

Annoyed Jonouchi said he owed Kaiba one. Jonouchi returned the Millennium Puzzle to Yugi and was glad to see Anzu return to normal. Just then Mai , Honda and Ryuji arrived with Shizuka. However Mai slapped him, telling him to stop being a baby.

His friends reminded him of how he had fought for Shizuka. Shizuka said Jonouchi had given her more than enough courage and removed the bandages from her eyes. Kaiba was already at the stadium as a finalist. Jonouchi, Yugi and Mai were accepted too and were surprised to see Bakura who was meant to be at the hospital arrive as another finalist. Jonouchi asked how he had managed to get a Duel Disk, but Bakura said it was a secret.

Marik, still claiming to be Namu, arrived as another finalist. Jonouchi grew suspicious of him, remembering that he was possessed by Marik not too long after meeting Namu. However Bakura thanked Marik for saving him earlier and Anzu insisted that he was their friend. Not knowing Marik had controlled them as they said that, Jonouchi thought he must have been over thinking things.

Rishid arrived as another finalist pretending to be Marik. The Millennium Ring pointing to him. The group was notified that the finals were going to take place in the sky as the Battle Ship blimp arrived. When they boarded the blimp, much to Jonouchi's dismay, Anzu, Honda, Shizuka and Ryuji all went into his room. He unsuccessfully tried to tell all of them bar Shizuka to leave. He got mad at Honda for respecting that Yugi needed time to prepare, but not him and saying that Yugi was the favorite to win rather than him.

However he thanked Honda for bringing Shizuka to him. Jonouchi watched Yugi and Bakura's Duel. After learning that Bakura had been possessed by Dark Bakura again, Jonouchi gave a brief explanation of what the Millennium Items are and how they sometimes possess evil minds to Marik, who was still in the guise of Namu.

Jonouchi saw " Slifer the Sky Dragon " for the first time during the Duel and witnessed Marik's plan to have Dark Yugi lose by endangering Bakura's life. However Dark Bakura intervened and Dark Yugi won. In the second quarter final, Jonouchi was matched up against Rishid, who claimed to be Marik. As the Duel took place on top of the blimp , Jonouchi's cards almost blew away, but he managed to catch them.

Jonouchi held off from attacking for a few turns and used " Giant Trunade ", hoping to clear the Traps and attack and defeat Rishid with the monsters he'd gathered.

However Rishid played his " Embodiment of Apophis " cards, which doubled up as monsters [] and attacked, leaving Jonouchi with 50 Life Points. Jonouchi replied that there is someone he had to beat and that surrendering now would be disrespectful to his earlier opponents, who all fought him till the end.

Shizuka became afraid to look, but Jonouchi insisted she be courageous to watch until the end. Jonouchi left himself open for defeat when he passed a turn. Before Rishid could use this chance, Jonouchi accused him of not being Marik, as he wasn't feeling his hatred towards Marik against Rishid, who had fought fairly.

Isono ruled that the first to stand up would be the winner and if neither stood up within the time limit, both would be disqualified.

While unconscious, Jonouchi dreamt he was in a classroom with his friends. After gesturing at Kaiba for insulting him, Jonouchi dropped his cards and his friends helped him pick them up. As he left the room in the dream, he regained consciousness and awoke standing up, making him the winner.

When asked who he was, Rishid said he was Marik's shadow and pleaded with Dark Yugi to stop Marik's other self. With Rishid unable to fight, Dark Marik took control of Marik and revealed himself to everyone. Jonouchi theorized that the reason he could stand up in the last Duel while Rishid couldn't, was because he had the dream where his friends supported him, while Rishid was alone. Afterwards Mai asked Jonouchi if she was in the dream. He replied that the dream took place in the classroom, whereas Mai was too old for school and joked that she could be the teacher next time.

Anzu pulled Jonouchi aside after this and told him that he was "the worst". Feeling excluded, Mai reverted to her self-reliant persona. She told Jonouchi that she wasn't a soft Duelist like him and didn't need anyone cheering for her in her quarter-final against Dark Marik.

Dark Marik turned the Duel into a Shadow Game. Jonouchi realized he couldn't talk Mai out of accepting and encouraged her to win. He was about to be hit by the blast from by "Ra", but Dark Yugi stood between them and took the attack on his back.

In the advent of their high school graduation, Jonouchi and his friends, Yugi , Anzu , Honda and Bakura discussed their plans for the future. Jonouchi wished to become a professional Duelist, but needed to repair his Duel Disk first. The friends then noticed the new student, Aigami , but failed to struggled to remember who he was at first.

After school, Jonouchi noticed Yugi was thinking of Atem and said that it was impossible to forget him. Jonouchi intervened when he spotted Aigami, being harassed by Scud and his gang. Knowing of Jonouchi's past in Hirutani's gang , Scud dropped the matter for the time being.

Aigami thanked Jonouchi and left, insisting he was okay. Jonouchi had a job at Otogi's cafe , where he had to wear a dog costume and hand balloons out to customers. Jonouchi groaned that he would not be able to afford it, prompting Honda to suggest he get another part-time job.
