Battle 134: New Game
NOTE: This begins the "Dragon, Dice and Dungeons" Story Arc
Anzu stops by Yugi's house to walk to school with him. There,
she finds out that Yugi's grandfather is depressed: a game shop,
"The Black Clown" is opening soon across the street. A short
clown is handing out balloons in front of the store. It offers
Anzu one, but she is so creeped out that she doesn't accept.
Here, Otogi is introduced, realizing that the kid he saw was
Yugi.
At school, Otogi is showing off to the girls with a trick using
cup and dice. Jounouchi is being loud-mouthed when Otogi
challenges him to a game with the dice. Otogi throws a die into
the cup and inverts it on the table. If Jounouchi loses, he
isn't to saying anything for a week. Yugi realizes that there's
no way that Jounouchi can lose, but with a bit of mind games,
Otogi wins.
Battle 135: Planned Trap
Jounouchi challenges Otogi to another game, one of cards. Four
Aces are used, and two are chosen. To win, Jounouchi must choose
two of the same color. Jounouchi loses twice, and Otogi shoots a
die at him, knocking him to the floor. Yugi changes, and
challenges Otogi to a game, using the same cards. However,
Yugi's stipulation is that a Joker is used. The player that
draws the Joker loses. Otogi loses twice. Even though Otogi has
won the other games through a "Bar Bet" (a game in which the odds
of winning get progressively lower and lower), Yugi has beaten
Otogi through a "fair" game.
Otogi says to himself that the next game will be D-D-D.
Battle 136: D-D-D!!
There are lots of people in front of the Black Clown store,
waiting for it to open, including Yugi's group.
Inside the store, Otogi and his father (the clown), are preparing
a trap for Yugi. It is explained here that Otogi's father's face
was horribly burned because of Sugoroku. Otogi's father is going
to take his revenge out on Yugi.
The store finally opens, and along with the huge crowd, Yugi's
group buys some D-D-D packs (including Yugi's grandfather).
However, two security cards put some packs into Yugi's pocket,
then take him away for shoplifting. The Millennium Puzzle is
taken away from him, then he is placed in a back room where Otogi
is waiting for him. It is time to play D-D-D.
Otogi explains the basic rules to Yugi: each player rolls three
dice during his or her turn. Monster are summoned and effects
are used with the dice. Dice that are not used for summoning
become Crests in the player's Crest Pool. Each player has a
Dungeon Master, and when a Dungeon Master has been attacked three
times, that player loses.
They both choose their dice from Otogi's collection, placing them
into the dice shooter. Otogi rolls his three dice, places one of
them onto the field, and it opens. When it does, it summons a
Wizard Dragon.
Battle 137: The Path Of Darkness
The "Wizard Dragon" (2/300/200) has been summoned.
Yugi rolls but can't summon. In order to summon, two of the dice
rolled must have the summon symbol on them. The more summon
symbols on the dice, the weaker the monster that can be summoned.
Yugi's dice only have one summon symbol on them each.
Otogi rolls and summons another monster. Yugi rolls, but can't
summon.
Jounouchi and company try to find out where Yugi is, but they
can't find him. Bakura takes one last look at hte Black Clown
shop as they walk away.
Otogi has just summoned another monster. Yugi rolls again, but
cannot summon. Otogi rolls and summons another monster, this
time it's right in front of Yugi's Dungeon Master, "Twin-Headed
Griffin" (2/300/250).
Yugi rolls and is finally able to summon "Little Wizard"
(4/500/600), close to the Griffin. Yugi uses its ability to
attack the monster two spaces away, and destroys it.
Battle 138: Dungeon Crisis
Otogi rolls and summon "Grenadier" (2/300/250). Yugi rolls and
is able to summon "Crocozaurus" (4/600/500). Otogi rolls, and
uses his Grenadier's ability to destroy the Crocozaurus.
Yugi rolls but can't do anything. Otogi rolls and summons yet
another monster, "Girafoosu" (2/200/150).
Here, Otogi reveals that the Millennium Puzzle should have been
his, but that his father lost the puzzle to Yugi's grandfather in
a game. In that game, Sugoroku and Otogi's father played a board
game. The loser would be burned.
Yugi rolls and is able to summon. He places his die on the
field, but does not open it. Otogi rolls enough to move and
attack, so he moves two of his monsters up, and attacks Yugi's
Dungeon Master (Y's LP: 2). Yugi then opens up his die, "Iron
Demon Gorugon" (3/450/400). He uses its effect, and it rolls
across the field, destroying Otogi's Griffin and Grenadier.
Battle 139: Rare vs. Rare!
Yugi rolls, and is able to summon "Duker Twin Swords"
(3/360/200).
Otogi rolls and summons "Flame Armor Dragon" (3/400/380). It
attacks Yugi's Twin Swords, but he uses its effect to double its
Attack and defeats the Dragon instead.
Yugi is doing well, but Otogi tells him to look at the field.
All of the sides of Yugi's placed dice are blocked off, so he
cannot summon any more creatures. Otogi rolls, and one of his
dice is a Rare Black die. He summons "Dark Eye Stalker"
(2/200/250). The die also has a "Warp Point" on it. It can warp
to another Rare Black die that has a Warp Point on it.
However, Yugi also has a Rare Black die, and he summons a monster
that jumps through the warp and destroys the Stalker.
Battle 140: Broken Puzzle
The monster was the "Black Ninja" (3/350/220).
Otogi rolls but can't summon. Yugi rolls, and is enough to move
and attack. The Ninja's high amount of movement allows it to
move in front of Otogi's DM and attack it (O's LP: 2).
Otogi rolls another Rare Black, and summons "God Ogre"
(4/500/420). However, he has enough Crests to use its ability to
increase its attack to 2000 (2000/420). It attacks the Ninja,
but Yugi uses its ability to become transparent for one turn, and
avoid the attack. Yugi rolls again and attacks Otogi's DM (O's
LP: 1).
Otogi's father sees that he is losing, enters the room and pulls
the Millennium Puzzle apart. Yugi screams.
Outside of the Black Clown, the changed Bakura's Millennium Ring
homes in on the building for the source of a Millennium Item:
Yugi's Puzzle.
Battle 141: The Power To Call
Bakura enters the Black Clown, and promptly disposes of the
security guards that had caught Yugi.
Otogi takes the puzzle from his father, and helps Yugi pick up
the puzzles. The winner of the game will get the puzzle. Otogi
rolls and is enough to attack and destroy the Black Ninja.
Yugi rolls and moves the Twin Swords near his DM. Otogi rolls
and moves his Ogre through the Warp Point. Yugi rolls and moves
his monsters to protect his DM. Otogi rolls and destroys the
Gorugon.
Yugi roll and attacks with his Wizard and is enough to destroy
the Ogre, but Otogi uses the Ogre's ability to deflect the attack
for 1 turn. Otogi's turn comes, and he destroys the Little
Wizard. Otogi's father gloats when Bakura comes in, telling him
that his son can't handle the Millennium Puzzle.
Yugi is shocked to find that Bakura has been possessed by the
Millennium Ring. Bakura takes a short look at the field and sees
that Yugi will win.
Battle 142: Solving the Puzzle
Yugi uses enough to multiply his Twin Sword's attack by 6 (2160)
to defeat the Ogre, but one of Otogi's monsters jumps on the way.
Otogi rolls and destroys the Twin Swords. Yugi rolls and moves
his DM. Otogi rolls and moves his Ogre attacking Yugi's DM (Y's
LP: 1). Otogi starts to put together the puzzle, but Bakura
still says that Yugi will win.
Yugi's group wonders where he is, and they rush to the Black
Clown after hearing that Bakura went in.
Yugi has a few dice left. Otogi tries to put the puzzle
together, but something is stopping him. Bakura says that the
puzzle has chosen Yugi, and there is no way for someone else to
put it together.
Yugi gets a burst of inspiration, and places a die on the field
to summon. Otogi has that Yugi's crazy, but the die opens
correctly onto the field, and a monster is summoned. However,
the monster is weak (Attack 0).
