Summary:

Dinosaur Ryuzaki's rule was supposed to be fair play, fair Duel.


Ryuzaki didn't place second in th' nationals ta stand by an' never beat his greatest rivals.

He didn't trade his way up th' chain ta get his hands on th' legendary super rare rarest a' rare cards, only to watch his prized Red-Eyes Black Dragon win th' Duels that he'd have won.

He may have been down on his luck, but his megaton power had just gotten lost in th' shuffle.

His strategies were Time Magic-tested. Th' problem was th' field was always full a' cheats like that freak Haga, Kujaku Mai, an' Esper Roba!

Haga even dragged him along with him into his farce.

Ryuzaki was a dinosaur, not a snake!

A t-rex may bite twice per meal – a king may be a tyrant – but fer Ryuzaki, th' rule was fair play, fair Duel.

In that respect, Ryuzaki guesses he an' Jonouchi are th' same. They wont ta win with thur own power. It wounded him Red-Eyes betrayed him fer Jonouchi (though Jonouchi won fair an' square). It was a tough pill ta swallow, but if his monster was gunna be anyun's servant, Ryuzaki had ta admit, that fool used Red-Eyes all right.

He was an idiot ta beg fer that Field Magic. He could continue on his useless streak. Through his wasteland o' barbaric upsets. Stepped on an' pissed on. Ryuzaki wouldn't be relyin' on anyun else's power again!

He'd kneeled, evil knight summonin' th' evil serpent's night.

Ya, defeat saved him.

Bring an axe to th' Duel, and he'd bring a sword!

Nuttin' but th' metal nails!

As he had in th' beginning, he'd start naked. Fleet-foot ashore an' evolve into th' best!
