    Summary

    When Mahad’s attempts at teaching him magic are unsuccessful, Seto concludes the issue is not aptitude, but motivation. The obvious solution: train magic like he trained for Aaru.

    Simple, right?

    Mahad disagrees.

    Summary

    "Only four copies of the Blue Eyes White Dragon are known to exist. Of course, they were in the hands of fanatic collectors around the world. I searched them out. One in America, one in Hong Kong, one in Germany. None of them agreed when I told them to hand it over… so I used a bit of force. I used my wealth to force them to bankruptcy, made deals with the mafia... one of them even committed suicide!"
    - Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel 027
    __

    Shortly after Gozaburo’s death, Seto Kaiba travels to New York to sell off KaibaCorp’s arms cache to a reluctant mafiosa holding one of the four Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

    Summary

    “All right, all right.” His mother didn’t sound particularly convinced. “So, who is this new girl that’s caught your attention? What’s her name?”

    Yugi took a deep breath. “His name is Atem.”

    The line went silent for an inordinate amount of time.

    Yugi brings Atem home for the Christmas holiday to meet his mother.
