** CurbStompCushion: The only one of Kaiba's monsters that Joey successfully destroys is Rabid Horseman, thanks to Red-Eyes. And then Blue-Eyes comes out...

* AttackAttackAttack: Joey's entire "strategy" during the duel. It works as well as can be expected when up against stronger monsters.

* CurbStompBattle: Joey loses to Kaiba so badly he has a nightmare about it in the following episode.

Yugi calls Kaiba out on using Joey as a guinea pig right when he'd been building his confidence, but Kaiba tells Yugi that he ''has'' to be ruthless to save Mokuba, as Pegasus is also ruthless--if he wants any chance of beating him and saving Mokuba, he'll have to play by his own rules.

The Duel Disk is a highly-realistic holographic simulator, which throws Joey off his game severely. He loses almost all of his Life Points while Kaiba is untouched. When Joey gets a good draw and summons the Red-Eyes Blakc Dragon, Kaiba draws his Blue-Eyes and defeats him.

Besides that, Kaiba's seen firsthand that Pegasus uses a magic stronger than any card. At the intercontinental tournament in new York City, a duelist called Bandit Keith had made it to the final match against Pegasus. As Kaiba watched, Pegasus suddenly stood up and called a kid from the audience to duel Keith, giving him a list of instructions to follow. The kid won, and when Keith grabbed the note he saw that ''every'' strategy he'd planned and how to beat it was on the paper. Keith was humiliated, and Kaiba was stunned at the display of Pegasus's power. Joey, Kaiba claims, was a casualty of war, though he does wish Yugi luck in his travels. He sets off for the castle on his own.
