Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The sudden attack by the Land of Light is nothing new.

But each time, it manages to redefine people's understanding of the word "suddenly".

Everyone thought that the release of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" would take at least another week or even longer.

When it came time to build up momentum, the Land of Light demonstrated what the speed of light truly meant.

Starlight Video Animation Zone.

A brand-new cover with card embossed effects has been prominently featured at the very top of the homepage.

In the center of the cover, Yugi Muto holds the Millennium Puzzle.

The background faintly reveals the majestic silhouette of Yami Yugi and the roaring silhouette of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The large title lettering is ablaze with a virtual flame:

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel of Monsters

The official showdown begins today at 18:00!

There was no lengthy preview, no overwhelming GG (Gap) announcements, and not even an official announcement a day in advance.

And just like that, it came directly, brutally, and unreasonably!

The comment section exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! When did the Land of Light start updating so fast?! This isn't like the style of the developers at Light!"

"I was thinking that, given the Land of Light's usual pace, it might take a month or two to see it, but I didn't expect it to happen today?! Is today a surprise day for the Land of Light?"

"Guangda, I'll never say you're both long and short again! You're my god!"

"This efficiency... it must be the pressure from Tencent's 'Bakugan!'! Thanks to Tencent for the strong encouragement!"

"I'm not saying anything more, I've already soaked my pants... oh no, I've already made the instant noodles! Let's make some!"

At 6:00 PM sharp, the first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! was released.

Episode 1: The Stolen Blue-Eyes White Dragon

During a break between high school classes, Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi were sitting at their desks, each holding a stack of cards.

The game they were playing was a card battle game called Duel Monsters.

Kyoko Masaki stood to the side, explaining the rules to the audience.

"This is a game called Duel Monsters."

"Use the monster cards or spell cards in your hand strategically to fight."

"Cards have attack and defense capabilities. The first side to reduce the opponent's life points to 0 wins."

The rules are explained simply and clearly.

"Game, it's your turn!" Jonouchi played a card.

The game player glanced at his hand and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Then I'll use this one."

A card was slapped on the table.

Dark Dragon, attack power 1500.

The monsters inside the city were instantly killed, their health points dropping to zero in an instant.

"We won the game again!"

Apricot cheered.

A simple, everyday duel quickly outlines the basic framework and fun of card battles.

After school, the group followed the game to a card shop.

The shop is small, but the window is filled with all kinds of cards.

An old sign hangs at the entrance of the shop: Turtle Game Shop.

"Grandpa, we want to see that!"

Jonouchi and the others pestered Grandpa Sugoroku, wanting to see the legendary, extremely rare, and powerful cards he had collected.

"I just can't do anything with you guys..."

With a kind smile, Muto Sugoroku took out an exquisite card box from the deepest part of the counter.

He carefully took out a card from inside and showed it to everyone.

A card lay quietly on a velvet lining.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Attack 3000, Defense 2500.

Everyone gasped.

"Three thousand attack power?! That's incredibly strong!"

Grandpa Shuangliu said with a hint of pride, "There are only four of these cards in the world; they're practically priceless."

As everyone marveled at the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, an arrogant voice came from the shop entrance.

"Ugh, what a boring party."

A boy wearing a dark blue school uniform walked in.

Seto Kaiba, the champion of the National Duel Monster Tournament.

His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on the card in Muto Sugoroku's hand.

The pupils contracted slightly.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon..."

He originally intended to show off his superiority.

But when he saw the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in Grandpa Shuangliu's hand.

The arrogant expression cracked for the first time, then was replaced by a strong possessiveness.

"I want this Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

Seahorse got straight to the point, proposing to exchange for other rare cards, and even offering to pay a high price to buy them.

But Grandpa Shuangliu shook his head and refused: "Cards are not commodities; they carry memories and emotions. This card is not for sale."

After returning home.

Enraged, Kaiba invited Sugoroku Muto to a card battle, with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon as the wager.

Sugoroku Muto sighed, "Fine, I'll use this duel to show you that cards have minds!"

The chat instantly erupted in excitement:

"Oh ho! Here it comes! The old man is about to show his true skills! The hidden boss has arrived!"

"Grandpa must have been a legend in his youth! Seahorse is in big trouble!"

However, the reality is cruel.

Grandpa Shuangliu is skilled.

However, compared to Kaiba's meticulously constructed deck, which is full of powerful monsters and synergy cards, the strength of his deck is inferior.

The gap is too big.

Despite his best efforts, Grandpa was ultimately defeated.

Bullet comments:

"I originally thought Grandpa Muto was just pretending, but it turns out he really is..."

Muto: Grandson, your grandfather lost the family heirloom. Can you forgive me?

"Game: Old Deng, if you're not going to play cards, don't play! You're just causing trouble!"

The seahorse that won against the Blue-Eyes White Dragon became even more arrogant.

"There are only three monster cards that can be included in the deck. An extra fourth card... will only become a potential threat."

"So, I want to get it, and then..."

He did something that sent the blood pressure of everyone in the audience soaring.

—Tear the priceless Blue-Eyes White Dragon card, which he had just won and which was one of only four in the world, in half right in front of the game!

"Holy shit! Seahorse, you son of a bitch...!"

The live chat exploded.

"What a spendthrift! A priceless treasure!"

"Beat him up in the game! No, beat him in cards!"

Kaiba coldly explained, "I collected the Blue-Eyes White Dragon so that I could have three unique copies in the world; the fourth must disappear!"

"Now, the goal has been achieved."

Looking at Grandpa's disappointed and pained expression, and at the torn-up cards.

The usually gentle and timid Yugi Muto's eyes blazed with unprecedented fury!

"Seto Kaiba... I challenge you! I'll stake my grandfather's soul deck on it!"

The game's voice was resolute.

"You think you can take me?" the seahorse scoffed.

"duel!!"

The duel has officially begun!

[Duel System Activated! Life Points (LP): 2000! The player whose Life Points reach zero is the loser!]

Accompanied by ceremonial system sound effects and dazzling lights.

The game and Kaiba's consciousness seemed to be pulled into a virtual duel space.

The image of the monster appeared in three dimensions, and the scene instantly became grand and impactful!

At the same time, driven by a strong fighting spirit and anger, the Millennium Puzzle on Yugi's chest suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light!

Another soul awakens within him.

—Dark Game, here we come!

"Kaiba, I'll bet my grandfather's soul deck that I'll beat you."

The seahorse was slightly startled, but quickly regained its arrogance: "Playing tricks!"

"My turn, summon Cyclops, attack power 1200! Attack!"

Dark Game: "Hmph, city-defending pterosaur, attack power 1400! Counterattack!"

The two sides exchanged blows, summoning monsters and activating magical traps in a fast-paced and spectacular display of special effects.

Haima demonstrated its champion strength.

Summon Dark Jester Zagi and combine it with the spell card Dark Generator to instantly triple its attack power.

After several rounds of probing and exchanges, the seahorse played his trump card.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack Power 3000!
