Yu-Gi-Oh: Black Times

40 year old Yugi Mouto is out for a walk with his girlfriend Anzu.

Over the years, Yugi has grown into a real macho man. He's much taller than he was as a teen and he's in perfect physical shape with muscle-arms and a a six pack. His hair style is less spiky now and he's got a beard.

These days he owns his grandfather's game-store.

"Do you miss dueling?" says Anzu.

"In a way I do, but I'm 40 years old now. The game of Duel Monsters is better left in the hands of younger men." says Yugi.

"So that's why you gave your deck and duel disk to the Academy for display?" says Anzu.

"Yeah." says Yugi.

"Aren't you worried someone might steal your cards?" says Anzu.

"No, cause Kaiba told me that they'll have security guards on sight 24 / 7 to make sure that nothing can happen." says Yugi.

"Well, that sounds good. I'm sure there's a lot of duelists who'd love to get their hands on the rare cards in your deck?" says Anzu.

"I know. Still I don't really care much anymore. It's just a game." says Yugi.

"Perhaps..." says Anzu. "That game was once a huge part of your life though."

"Yeah, it was. Now other things are more important." says Yugi.

"Oh, such as...?" says Anzu.

"Such as you for example." says Yugi.

"Awww, thanks." says Anzu.

25 minutes later when they get back to the game-store, Yugi finds a note on the door.

It says: "Yugi, I know you're retired from Duel Monsters, but I don't know anyone else to ask for help. Me and you need to talk, it's important. I can't tell you more in this note. It's not safe. I need to see you in person. See ya soon, blessings from your friend Jonouchi."

4 days later, Yugi get his deck and duel disk back and then he get into his black car and after a 7 hours long drive he reach Jonouchi's home.

"Yugi, it's been too long. Nice to you." says Jonouchi.

"I'm pleased to meet you as well. Sorry that I've not kept in touch the past few years. I've been busy." says Yugi.

"I understand. Come in and have a seat, we've got much to talk about. The world needs you again." says Jonouchi.
