Ep 44. Legendary Heroes, Part 2

The show Yu-Gi-Oh! season 1 episode 44 titled "Legendary Heroes, Part 2" continues the story of the previous episode where Joey and Mako fight for the honor of their ancestors and to win the legendary red-eyes black dragon card. The episode starts off with Joey on his turn to attack Mako, and he decides to attack with his baby dragon. Mako, on the other hand, is determined to defend his life points and using his Amphibian beast to block the attack. Joey tries his best to attack Mako, but his strategies seem to be failing.

Despite Joey's earlier determination to win, he begins to sense that Mako is becoming stronger in the battle. Therefore, he decides to surrender his monster because he doesn't want to risk losing more life points to make Mako's monsters more powerful. However, this move frustrates his friend Yugi, who is watching the battle in the stands, as he believes that Joey should have continued to fight.

The battle continues, with Mako taking advantage of Joey's earlier mistake and gaining life points. Joey tries to make a comeback by summoning his Garoozis, but Mako's newly summoned Amulet of Ambition card steals Garoozis' attack power.

In the meantime, Yugi and Mai, who had both lost and were eliminated from the tournament, begin investigating the mystery behind the ancient artifacts. While looking for clues, they stumble upon the hidden area of the tournament, where they witness Weevil and Rex stealing the remaining rare cards.

Back in the duel, Joey summons his last monster, the red-eyes black dragon, which lived up to its legendary status by overpowering Mako's amphibian beasts. Despite Joey's strong comeback, Mako's submarine robot is still on the field, and he manages to attack with a direct hit. The result is a tie, with both duellists winning a total of one game each.

The episode ends with Yami Yugi sensing that a dark force is approaching, and warns his friends that they will have to face a new and challenging test in the upcoming episodes.

Overall, this episode provides a thrilling continuation to the previous episode's story, with an intense and well-choreographed duel between Joey and Mako. The subplot revolving around Weevil and Rex's plan adds an element of mystery and suspense that keeps the show engaging, while Yami Yugi's intuition adds an intriguing sense of foreboding to the episode's conclusion.
