In episode four, Yuugi meets up with his most formidable opponent Seto Kaiba. Everyone at Yuugi's school is hooked on the new dueling card game Duel Monsters, including Seto, the son of an extremely rich businessman whose company makes the Duel Monsters card game. Seto Kaiba is a master of Duel Monsters, he was won championships all over the country and will go to any lengths to obtain the rarest Duel Monster cards, including having his security guards beat up other kids for these treasures.
Yuugi eager to make friends with everyone immediately befriends Seto, who becomes extremely happy when he finds out that Yuugi's grandfather posses the rarest of all Duel Monster cards, the Blue Eyes Dragon, which he received as a gift from a dear friend when he visited America.
When Yuugi's grandfather declines Seto's offer to buy the card, Seto devises a scheme, and switches the real Blue Eyes Dragon card with a counterfeit one. Jounouchi and Honda realize this and confront Seto who has them beat up by his security guards. Once Yuugi realizes what he has done he becomes the Yuugioh, and takes a daring chance that might end up destroying the Blue Eyes Dragon Card.
Yuugioh challenges Seto to a Duel Monsters game, house rules of course. Yuugioh makes the monsters on the card turn into phantoms that can fight one another. As he and Seto sit at the table, their phantom monsters battle, whoever looses, that card and monster burn up into nothing. Seto, scared but intrigued agrees, and in one of the most intense and daring moves in animation, the creators of this anime actually managed to make a card game exciting. Never in all my years of watching animation, has anyone managed to pull of such a daring feat and succeed. The points were set up behind each character and as their monsters dueled their points decreased.
Yuugioh manages to beat Seto destroying the Blue Eyes Dragon, but he is able to 'resurrect' the card by using an Ankh (Egyptian symbol placed on the dead and will resurrect one in the after world) card and returns the Blue Eyes Dragon to his grandfather. But not without creating a nearly mortal enemy with Seto who thought he was the ultimate Duel Monsters champion. However, Seto rather than being sad, is enthralled because Yuugioh's power to manipulate reality has made the Duel Monsters game more exciting and life threatening.
Yes, friends this is Yuugioh. I only hope that 4 Kids Entertainment allows those of us who are die hard fans not to have to endure the US/Canadian Government's rules which regulate children's programming and sell an unedited version of the series. I hope they do not make the same mistake Viz did with Dragonball Manga and end up basically apologizing to older fans and end up ANYWAY, producing an uncut series for us. I strongly encourage those who are already fans from seeing the fansubs or the original series, and those interested in becoming involved in this phenomenon to sign this petition to have a subtitled, uncut version of Yuugioh released in the States and Canada. Petition for an Uncut English Dub and Subtitled Version of Yuugioh!
