Sartorius' Tarot cards reveal a third presence that could determine the outcome of his plans, that being Tyranno Hassleberry.
- The Comically Serious: Sartorius doesn't know how to use his duel disk and asks Hassleberry to show him.
- Downer Ending: Averted. Hassleberry loses to Sartorius, but unlike Chazz and Alexis he manages to not get brainwashed.
- Innocuously Important Episode: Sartorius learning Hassleberry would have a role in his grand scheme and Hassleberry's immunity to Sartorius' brainwashing would become important in the season 2 finale when Hassleberry helps Neos destroy Sartorius' satellite.
- No-Sell: Hassleberry is the first person ever to lose a duel to Sartorius or one of his minions and walk away with his mind completely unscathed. Even Jaden was affected despite managing to escape full-blown mind control.
- Your Door Was Open: Sartorius simply walks into the boys' dorm room and makes himself at home.
