  • Narm: "Check his pulse, Yugi!"
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Joey. Sure, Kaiba is a jerk most of the time and this episode is no exception. However, Joey instigated the whole situation by being a hothead. Initially, Kaiba gave the group a few serious (and not even rude!) words and went on his way. Not only did even Joey's friends tell him to let Kaiba be, but Kaiba himself was taking the higher road and ignoring Joey. Only because Joey refused to back off, continually provoking and challenging Kaiba entirely of his own accord, and even blocking his path at one point, did Kaiba finally retaliate. In short, this is one instance where Joey really did deserve what Kaiba gave him since the whole situation could've been avoided if Joey just shut his mouth. The dub tones this down by having Joey get ticked at Kaiba's rudeness instead of getting mad at Kaiba not gathering the Star Chips to get into Pegasus's castle.
