Even though neither of them wanted to duel, for Duelists, once they decide to Duel, no one can stop them.
"Kaiba hasn't been this fired up in a long time." Not far off, Yugi Muto muttered, peering through a telescope and noticing the upward curl of Seto Kaiba's lips.
"Mr. Yugi, is this really okay? Master..." Chazz sounded somewhat panicked.
"Chazz, President Kaiba is a legendary Duelist. There's no way he'd ever back down from a challenge." Jaden said casually, hands behind his head.
On the other side, Hikaru sighed as he watched Seto Kaiba striding toward the track and mounting a motorcycle modeled after Blue-Eyes White Dragon that he had apparently prepared in secret.
Seto Kaiba, despite appearances, wasn't all that serious. Or rather, deep down, he was a total chuunibyou who loved dunking on weaker players.
In the original GX, Jaden had a period of doubt, haunted by the fear of losing and the guilt of letting his friends die to the Shadow Riders. During that time, a mysterious "Kaibaman" appeared and Dueled him, using the overwhelming power of a Blue-Eyes deck to momentarily make Jaden forget defeat.
Though the students assumed Kaibaman was a Duel Monster Spirit, there was one thing about him that no real Duel Monster would ever have cards hanging from his neck like a necklace.
Yes, that was Seto Kaiba: a high-tech genius who was equal parts chuunibyou, show-off, and smurf stomper.
On the other side, Jack Atlas had a trait in the original story too. He never lost a Duel while standing.
But once he got on a D-Wheel? He was a crash-prone disaster.
VROOOM!
The two accelerated their D-Wheels and burst onto the track.
It was the same track as before. Although Kaiba was a genius in everything, he was still far behind Jack when it came to blazing down a D-Wheel.
As such, Jack once again took the first turn.
"My turn!"
Jack drew a card.
He felt a bit of pressure.
Just seeing Seto Kaiba, he could already sense the difference between them: an intense, volatile Duelist's spirit. For someone who hadn't grown in a long time, it lit a fire deep inside him.
"I Normal Summon Level 3 Tuner Monster Phantom King Hydride!"
He slapped the card onto his D-Wheel and followed up by raising another card. "If I control a Tuner Monster, I can Special Summon this. Special Summon Level 3 Magical King Moonstar!"
With his shout, a mounted demon and a lunar demon burst forth from the cards. Next came the tuning.
"Tune Level 3 Phantom King with Level 3 Magical King!"
The moon demon became a glowing halo, and the mounted demon split into three stars.
"O, Sirius that burns the sky! Lone wolf with emerald eyes! Rip apart the toothless mongrel shackled to the earth!
Synchro Summon! Celestial Wolf Lord, Blue Sirius!"
A three-headed demon hound rose from the ground and began to sprint wildly alongside Jack's D-Wheel.

"I set two cards and end my turn!"
"Hmph. Not bad, I guess." Kaiba glanced at Jack's play, tapped the accelerator, and with a beep, gained 1 Speed Counter.
"My turn. Draw!
I activate the Spell Card, Bingo Machine, Go!"
"Bingo Machine?" Jack looked surprised.
"I select three cards from my Deck whose names contain 'Blue-Eyes' or that list Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in their text. My opponent randomly selects one. The rest go back into the Deck."
As he acted, a giant lottery machine appeared mid-racetrack and floated alongside them.
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Jack gasped.
He wasn't the only one. Nearly everyone watching the Duel cried out in shock.
"That's the legendary monster, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" the MC shouted, hoarse. "This isn't a dream, is it? That mythical beast has returned to this world?!"
Even in a world without KaibaCorp, Blue-Eyes was still a legendary card.
In truth, no matter the dimension, as long as you Duel, you know Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Any monster with 3000 Attack makes people shout, "What?! It has the same Attack as Blue-Eyes?!"
Its meme-tier fame was so strong, even people in this world were stunned to see it.
"Heh, I'll pick these three," Kaiba revealed: Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon, and Burst Stream of Destruction.
The cards turned into glowing orbs and entered the lottery machine, which began to spin violently.
"Come on, shout 'Stop!'"
"Ugh..." Jack felt a sudden pressure.
Just that gesture from Kaiba made him feel an immense weight.
Regardless, there was no turning back. "Stop!"
Click!
The machine halted, and a small orb slowly rolled out of the chute. As S-Dimension spectators and Jack watched with bated breath, a card began to materialize.
Many instinctively gulped.
Even Jack barely dared breathe.
"Lucky me, I add Burst Stream of Destruction to my hand!"
'Whew, at least it wasn't one of the high-ATK monsters.'
"You thought that was it? Naive!" As the audience sighed with relief, Kaiba played another card. "I activate the Spell Card, Cards of Consonance! Discard a Dragon-Type Tuner with 1000 or less ATK to draw two cards!"
"A Dragon-Type Tuner Monster?!" Jack froze. 'Where has an interdimensional guy gotten, wait, no…'
In an instant, he realized something. "You...you wouldn't have..."
"Exactly. I discard The White Stone of Legend to draw two. Then activate its effect. When sent to the Graveyard, it adds 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Deck to my hand."
"!!!"
"Normal Summon: Ally of Justice, Kaibaman! Then activate his effect! I Tribute this card to Special Summon... my loyal servant!
Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"RAAAAWR!!"
The ultimate dragon revealed itself.
Glossy white scales, radiant azure eyes, divine brilliance like pure light.
This was a card etched into the hearts of countless Duelists.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
