Many changes are made to Joey's Deck during the
Battle City tournament. With the rules changed to be closer to the
OCG, Joey's Deck includes fewer high
Level monsters as they must now be
Tribute Summoned.
Joey's original Battle City Deck featured his "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", however he lost it in an
Ante Duel, and remakes a new Deck in time for the tournament - now with "
Time Wizard" as his rare card. Additionally, he wins more rare cards from the duels he wins in the preliminaries.
The number of tough
Warriors and
Beast-Warrior-
Type monsters decreases and he includes a few cartoon-like warriors, while many more luck based cards are added, a trait that leads
Esper Roba to dub it a
Gamble Deck. Also his deck is fortified with the monsters he won per ante at the tournament; again there's no major archetype.
Although Yugi manages to win back Joey's "Red-Eyes", Joey refuses to take it back and says he'll earn it when he becomes a better Duelist (in the English dub, he lends it to Yugi to help defeat
Marik). In later arcs of the anime, he is shown to have it again, which means one of three things. The first being Yugi/Atem beat Joey and gave Red Eyes back to Joey because he deserved it. The second is both Yugi and Joey had a draw and neither of them won or lost but Joey earned back his Red Eyes, or lastly he defeated Yugi in the Duel following the tournament, earning back his Red Eyes. The true result is left for the viewer to decide. In the manga Jonouchi does not use it again, except in
Millennium World, where he wouldn't necessarily need the actual card, but it is eventually confirmed that he has re-obtained it when he shows the card to Aigami in
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions.
