The Paratis Corporation, Headquarters.
When Youyu led a large group of silly players and several top duelists to the headquarters of Paratis Corporation, it was no surprise to find that Doma was already on high alert.
Of course, with such a big commotion coming towards the company, unless Dartz was completely blind, it would be hard for him to ignore them.
However, Youyu had no intention of hiding this operation.
Basically, as long as something happens on this Earth, it's almost impossible to escape Doma's attention. Even the smallest movements in the world are under Dartz's watch, making it impossible to launch a surprise attack.
So Youyu decided to give up on any unnecessary thoughts, face it head-on, and just attack!
After all, we're here with a massive crowd to kick the door down and play cards. Even if Dartz is impressive, could he refuse to duel?
You can see in the animation that even though Dartz controls the global military, he ultimately prefers to solve problems through dueling. Therefore, Youyu directly led the main cast to the front door, and Doma certainly had no reason not to engage.
No need for any tricks; a large group of them directly walked into the lobby and kicked open the door.
Upon entering, what a sight, Doma's formation was not lacking in the slightest.
The large group of devotees clad in wide black robes goes without saying, their mass-produced outfit with brainwashed expressions almost had "I'm a minion, attack me first" written on their faces.
And then it got interesting. It's worth saying that Paratis Corporation deserves to be the headquarters of the world's number one card-playing terrorist organization; everyone from top to bottom appeared to be hidden masters.
Board members, finance department, HR department, legal department attorneys, security department in black suits, all revealed their card decks and put on the uniformly designed Doma Duel Disc...
...even the janitor casually tossed aside their broom, pulled out a Duel Disc, and was ready to fight, believe it or not?
Literally, everyone fights with cards.
However, in terms of quirky style, Youyu claimed that they were in no way inferior.
He casually gestured (while secretly issuing tasks on the panel), and then a group of oddballs wearing rabbit, hippo headgear or dressed in unicorn and panda suits, charged forward like frolicking huskies, each quickly finding an opponent to duel.
A great battle erupted in an instant.
The minions were naturally dealt with by the cannon fodder, and duelists from both sides quickly picked opponents to fight against.
Tenma Yako volunteered to stay behind, directing and supervising the battle here while also responsible for clearing some of the tough characters Doma sent that others couldn't handle.
Meanwhile, Youyu and the rest of the main cast took this opportunity to push deeper inside.
At this moment, a shout came from above: "Jonouchi!"
Everyone looked up toward the sound, only to see Valon, one of the Doma Three Musketeers, standing on the edge of the third-floor railing, staring excitedly at Jonouchi among the crowd below.
He snickered, pushed off with his foot, and leaped down from the third floor, landing steadily.
Jonouchi stepped forward: "Valon!"
"Come on, Jonouchi!" Valon shouted, "It's time for us to settle this!"
Sister Kujaku Mai stepped forward to block him: "Wait, Valon! This time, I'll be your opponent!"
"Mai..." Valon closed his eyes slightly and said, "You are an excellent woman and a top-tier duelist..."
Then he suddenly opened his eyes, with what seemed like an invisible flame flickering in his pupils.
"...but! Today is a battle between Jonouchi and me, and I must settle it with him here!"
Jonouchi also stepped forward: "That's right, this is between him and me, Mai. Just watch by the side, our ultimate duel!"
Kujaku Mai: "I..."
At this moment, it seemed they had completely forgotten why they started fighting in the first place...
Youyu even felt a bit like commenting on how calm they all were when faced with someone jumping down from the third floor without even rolling...
Since Jonouchi himself said so, the others naturally would not interrupt their personal duel.
"I'll leave this to you, Jonouchi," Dark Yugi patted Jonouchi's shoulder, "Defeat him, and make sure you catch up!"
"Alright, leave it to me, Yugi!" Jonouchi nodded, "You also have to rescue the other Yugi! I'll catch up as soon as I'm done here!"
So everyone left Jonouchi behind and kept going, while Jonouchi and Valon each opened their Duel Discs, ready to start the final showdown between men.
For some reason, Youyu suddenly got a strange sense of déjà vu. He felt like they were like Konoha's team from next door, the one that went to rescue Sasuke, leaving a teammate for every mini-boss they encountered on the way...
Then, not long after they continued forward, there was a sudden swish in the air, like a hidden weapon breaking through, accurately targeting Dark Yugi!
However, our Pharaoh was clearly not one to mess with. His reaction was swift, and he turned, raising his hand to catch the card thrown in mid-air, only to see it was "The Seal of Orichalcos".
Dark Yugi was taken aback and looked up to find Rafael, the leader of the Doma Three Musketeers, the blond giant, standing expressionlessly on the high-floor corridor not far away.
"Nameless Pharaoh." He said, "If you want to reclaim your lost dignity, come with me."
The primary goal of Dark Yugi on this trip was to rescue AIBO, and secondarily, to regain ground with Rafael, only then followed by defeating Dartz and saving the world.
Now AIBO hadn't been found, but Rafael had come forth. So of course, the Pharaoh wouldn't back down and immediately chased after Rafael.
President Haima certainly couldn't miss this duel. After all, he heard that the Doma giant won against Yugi once before, and given the President's concern for Yugi, there's no way he would miss this revenge duel.
Thus, the three of them pursued Rafael first.
Actually, ever since Haima found out Yugi had lost a duel, and it wasn't to him, he was troubled for quite a while.
He diligently studied strategies, practiced with machines whenever he could, and refined his skills and card printing, yet time and again he went in with confidence only to be crushed by Yugi, leaving him questioning life.
Now you're telling the President that someone got Yugi's first defeat before him?
How could anyone tolerate this?
The President is now getting more fumed with each thought, feeling more cheated with each step back. His stifled mood had nowhere to vent, to the point he almost wanted to drag someone to duel...
As he pondered, President Haima's intense gaze fell on Youyu beside him.
Yugi's first defeat was gone, but Haima was determined to claim Youyu's first!
Youyu inexplicably felt a chill behind him, as if a subtle killing intent loomed around...
Luckily, they quickly followed Rafael to the top floor of the building. Up next was the revenge match between Yugi and Rafael.
At least before this duel ended, Youyu figured he didn't need to worry about President Haima suddenly dragging him to play cards...
