Synopsis
Joey is gloating over his victory, when his stomach begins to groan. He and Tristan are so hungry that they sniff out some fish cooking on a camp fire. They devour them, and a guy who has been swimming near by jumps onto the scene and accuses them of stealing his meal. He introduces himself as Mako, the sea duelist. He lures them into a false sense of security by telling them of how when he was little, his father disappeared on a ship during a storm at sea. He noticed that the lifebaot was gone too, so he thinks his father is still alive. He challenges Yugi to a duel.
Yugi accepts, and Mako shows him the arena which is 1/2 land and 1/2 water. Yugi and Mako wager 2 starchips and it begins. Mako summons a giant yellow squid, Fiend Kraken, but it's underwater and Yugi can't see it. Yugi plays Horn Imp in attack mode, but Fiend Kraken destorys it. Then Yugi uses Feral Imp with Horm Of Unicorn, believing that the electricity will beat it. Mako uses his Jellyfish card to absorb the electricity, and Feral Imp is destroyed by Fiend Kraken too. Nent, Yugi unwisely plays Silver Fang powring it up with Full Moon. Tihs is a mistake. The moon contorls the tides, so the high tide is used to his advantage when Mako summons Kairu-Shin. Silver Fang is gone along with all the land except a teensy bit. Yugi plays Giant Rock Soldier in defense mode, but it hardly fits on the little piece. Mako summons Great White to lead the other monsters, who will kill Yugi's monster next turn. Yugi has a brilliant plan. He uses his Rock Soldier and destroys the moon. This makes the tide recede and the entire field is land. Yugi sends out Curse Of Dragon, who destroys all of Mako's sea creatures. Mako gives up his starchips to Yugi, and Yugi wishes Mako good luck on finding his father.

Goofs and Nitpicks
  • Although the duelling field was 50% land, there seems to be no way of gaining a field power bonus from that half of the field.
  • After Yami got his horned imp destroyed,it shows him talking and the horned imp is still on the card pannel on the bottom left.
  • The Mystical Moon powers up Beast-Warrior monsters, and Silver Fang is a normal Beast.
  • On the Mystical Moon card it says it boosts the power of beasts, but in the Forbidden Memories game it can be used for Beasts and Beast-Warriors.
  • The thing about not being able to get a FPB on the land portion of the field is untrue. Yugi's Giant Soldier of Stone got a FPB when it was played.
  • Mako's Jellyfish card disappears after it absorbed the Feral Imp's attack even though it is clear that it wasn't destroyed.
  • CORRECTION: Even though Horned Imp was destroyed, it still makes sense that the card remained on the panel. Remember, Pegasus set up the hologram projectors. Therefore, only the hologram of Horned Imp was destroyed. Yugi still had to remove the card from the panel but he talked first and then he removed the destroyed card.
