Duelist Kingdom
Téa defeats Joey in Dual Monsters five times at school, with four of the Duels being offscreen.

Téa draws symbols on her, Yugi, Joey and Tristan's hands to symbolize their friendship before Yugi faces Kaiba, after Kaiba tears up Solomon Muto's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

Téa and Tristan sneak onto the boat to Duelist Kingdom to support Yugi and Joey in the tournament. Téa mostly stands on the sidelines giving the boys encouraging speeches.

Yugi and his friends faced Yami Bakura in a Shadow Game of Duel Monsters, where the players are trapped in cards similar to their Monster World pieces. Téa becomes the card "Magician of Faith" in the Duel. As she is upset over Joey's sacrifice, she uses her effect to return "Monster Reborn" to Yami Yugi's hand, which allows him to revive Joey. As they approached Pegasus Castle, Tea wonders if there really are two Yugi's. She thinks back to when she first meets Yugi and Joey at Burgerpalooza. She then wonders what they are doing there and thinks they could get her in trouble since she had to be 18 to work at the restaurant and if they let it slip while she is still in school, she'll get fired and won't have enough money to pay for her dance lessons. As she serves Joey and Yugi their food, she gives a sinister glare and pours ketchup all over their food. She reveals she wants to study dance in New York but instead of laughing, Yugi and Joey support Téa. The next day Tea gets a letter from Yugi saying they found a warehouse in Spring St. for Téa to use as a dance studio. When she arrives, a mugger holds her hostage and Yami Yugi saves her when she blacked out.

Kaiba defeats Yugi in the tournament by standing on the edge of the castle, so Yugi's last attack would knock him off. Yugi relinquishes the Duel to Kaiba. Téa then argues with Kaiba over his strategy. Kaiba explains how Duelists are given one chip and must use it in whatever way allows them to win. Téa argues back that Kaiba only won because he couldn't live without the chip and insists that Yugi won the Duel.

After losing to Kaiba, Yugi no longer has enough Star Chips to enter the tournament finals. Mai offers Yugi her excessive Star Chips. Yugi initially refuses, feeling unworthy. Téa Duels Mai for the Star Chips. Using a combination of Magic Cards, Téa makes her "Shining Friendship" card defeat Mai's "Harpie Lady". Although Mai is able to turn the Duel around, using "Harpie's Feather Duster", she is impressed by Téa's performance and wants to give Yugi the Chips, so she surrenders saying "Harpie Lady" was her best monster and Téa defeated it.

Kemo doesn't allow Téa, Tristan or Bakura to enter the castle, where the finals are held, as they are not finalists, but Mai distracts him long enough for them to sneak in.

Inside they witness Kaiba and Pegasus Dueling. Pegasus was able to predict Kaiba's moves and easily win. Tristan suspects that Pegasus cheated, so that night he talks with Téa and Bakura on the subject. The three inspect the Dual arena and find a hole that shines moonlight directly at the Dual arena. Tristan spots a tower and the three head towards it. In the tower, they are confronted by Pegasus, who uses his Millennium Eye to transport them to another dimension. They wake up and enter a room, where a Shadow Game between two robed men is taking place while others are chanting. The winning man, Pegasus confronts the three and tries to take Bakura's Millennium Ring. Yami Bakura takes over Bakura's body and sends Téa and Tristan back to their rooms and erases their memories.

During the final rounds, Téa cheers on Yugi and Joey in their Duels. She is unable to watch the end of Yugi's Duel with Pegasus, as Pegasus takes the Duel to the Shadow Realm. Despite this Yugi feels his friends are with him in spirit and manages to defeat Pegasus.

Pegasus disappears after the Duel. The gang proceed to a tower, where they find Pegasus' diary, which Téa reads. She learns that Pegasus had a wife Cecelia who died and Pegasus was trying to revive her using the Millennium Items and Kaiba Corporation's technology.

Téa and her friends are taken home by Seto Kaiba in his helicopter.

Virtual World
While on their way to the final phase of the Battle City Tournament, Téa and her friends are abducted by Noah Kaiba. After bringing to his headquarters, Noah separates his captives, sending them to different parts of the Virtual World with different environments. Téa is sent to a large barren canyon in the middle of a desert, alone and with no idea where she is. Worried about her friends and with nothing else to do, she desires to walk down the canyon’s path, hoping to find someone. As she makes her way down the path, with the hot sun shining down on her, Téa calls out for anyone to answer her. No one answers, her words merely echoing off the canyon walls and rock formations. Stopping for a moment to study the canyon’s formations, Téa starts pondering herself out-loud; she ponders where she is, noting how the canyon is something of a virtual Grand Canyon. She then starts walking again, remarking how the eerie surroundings are creeping her and out and continues pondering where her friends might be. Unknown to her however, as she continues her walk, a strange muscular creature is creeping behind one of the rocks watching her. In its hand is a large stone axe, held tightly as it spies on the unsuspecting girl. Téa continues strolling down the canyon, oblivious to stalking creature and complaining about the hot heat. Suddenly, she stops upon hearing the noise of small rocks falling off the right cliff of the canyon. Startled, Téa looks up to finally see the spying monster watching her. Now that she has seen it, the creature makes a quick retreat back behind the rocks leaving Téa scared and confused as to what she just saw. Soon after however, Téa finds herself, to her horror, surrounded by four cyclops monsters wearing animal skin clothing and wielding clubs and axes like cavemen. The creatures are live versions of the dual monster Hitotsu-Me Giants. The frightened Téa attempts to stay calm, hoping to not provoke the beasts into attacking her. She tries to make a quiet escape by calmly back slowly, but her attempt ends in failure with her first step. Accidentally, the back bottom-end of her platform sandal steps on a small pebble causing it to be loudly kicked up. The noise provokes the giants, causing them to roar in fury and begin their assault. The leader of the pack, the giant she spotted earlier, begins the assault by ferociously jumping into the air from the cliff and through in its axe at Téa with lethal intent. Fortunately for her, the spinning axe does not strike her body but lands behind her feet away. Unfortunately for her however, the axe strikes the ground with such force, that its force causes several small rocks with sharp tips to shoot up into the air. One of these rocks heads right towards Téa, striking her as she looks back, hitting her left cheek and giving her a small cut under her left eye which causes her to reel/groan in real pain from the attack while covering her wound with her left hand (In the U.S.A. dub,. Tea's cut was censored due to brutal violence). Téa has no time to worry about her injury despite its pain. The giants move in closer to her position, causing her to flee. The terrified Téa yells with all her voice, begging someone, anyone, to help her. Her pleas go unheard with no one coming to her rescue as her cyclops pursuers chase after her. She tries her best to run away but her attempts to flee prove all for naught as she has fallen into the Hitotsu-Me Giants’ trap. The whole time, the leader with only two only two other pack members have been chasing Téa towards the rock formations of the canyon. Hiding behind the rocks, is the fourth member of the pack, waiting silently for her to come to his position so that he may ambush her. The monsters’ plan works perfectly, the leader and his two pack-mates force Téa towards the rocks where their fourth member is hiding where he soon reveals himself just as she attempts to run by. The monster looms over her its claws ready to strike her down as it stares down at her with murderous intent. Cornered and nowhere to run, all Téa is able to do is stare up at the beast with a look of pure and utter horror. With the girl at his mercy the fourth Hitotsu-Me Giant slashes down at her with his claws, forcing her down hard onto the rock floor of the canyon, painfully knocked into a state of unconscious (This scene was censored in all versions of this episode around the world for its graphic content). Soon after being incapacitated, Téa’s unconscious body is soon surrounded by her Hitotsu-Me Giant hunters. The giant who gave Téa her cut, the pack’s leader, then grabs the unconscious girl and throws her over his right shoulder, his large muscular arm pressing her socking covered legs onto his chest to carry her steady. He then orders his pack to move out as they begin their journey back to their lair. The leader is the one in front with the others walking behind, all following as he continues to carry the insensate Téa down through the canyon, her thick beautiful hair falling upside down as she dangles down the leader’s back. Eventually the giants climb a large hill containing a big whole in its center which leads to the cave where they have made their den. The leader then brings Téa to the center of the cave where there is a huge stone shelf with a flat surface. Without sympathy for his lovely prey, the leader hurls Téa off his shoulder down onto the stone surface of the shelf. Landing right on her side first, Téa strikes the stone surface releasing a loud groan as she hits. She then starts groaning in visible pain as her body squirms from the impact. Just as she stops moving, the leader and two other pack members loom above her, visibly amused by her agony as their eyes glow and eerie red. Hours later, drops of water from an above stalagmite fall onto Téa’s scratch, causing her to awaken. Coming to, she ponders where she is having not remembered how she arrived. Soon though, she hears the sounds of the Hitotsu-Me Giants in their den below in the bottom of the cave. The leader of the pack notices her awakening and gives her a vicious snarl causing her to briefly jump in fright, now fully remembering how the beasts attacked and carried her off to their cave. Téa’s cut continues to sting which causes her to wince in real pain. Trapped on the stone shelf with her cyclops captors below with no way of escape, Téa's situation continues to worsen. Eventually the giants start boiling a huge cauldron filled with hot water. Téa correctly deduces that the giants brought her back into order to feast on her flesh as their dinner. Using a loose vine, she manages to climb on the walls of the cave towards the hole in the ceiling. However, the giants hear her escape because their meal knocked down some small rocks by accident and soon follow after her. She manages to reach the top first and though she is nearly out of breath, she has no time to rest as the giants are halfway out of the cave. She makes a desperate run for it and manages to get very far ahead by the time they reach the top. The giant who knocked her unconscious attempts to stop her from escaping by throwing his axe at her. Fortunately like before, the axe misses instead landing right before Téa’s feet. This close call causes her to run even faster as the giants charge after her. While she does manage to outrun them, her second escape attempt is soon halted when she runs to a large ravine overlooking a running river. The giants continue running and though they are very far behind her, with no where to go, Téa will soon be back in their clutches. However, she notices an old wooden bridge not far away and runs towards it. When she makes it, she hesitates in crossing, fearing the bridge will give out due to how obviously rigidly it is. Through the memories of her friends however, Téa builds the courage to cross and make her way to other side. But she is not even halfway across when the Hitotsu-Me Giants arrive and start crossing after her. Téa barely manages to keep ahead of them as she cries out in fear for someone to help her. Then, just as the giants are about to reach her, the bridge gives out from their combined weight and collapses. While the creaming Téa holds onto the half of the bridge that manages to hang off the cliff, her former captors are not so lucky as they fall to their deaths in the raging river below. With the giants now dead, Téa climbs up the bridge to safety, complaining the whole way about the day and ordeals she has had.
