All of the interviews were supposed to be humorous, but sadly, Anzu turned out to be really angsty. I'd apologize, but y'know. Each interview is supposed to be an examination of a character, and Anzu…was herself. I guess. I could be very wrong. In fact, if I am, please do not hesitate to tell me! Really, I like constructive criticism.

Ummm…Enjoy?

Re: Yuugi Mutou Interviews Enclosed

Further investigation into Yuugi Mutou's character revealed a number of things. Admiral Stansworth, who reviewed the transcripts, claimed he was a 'martyr'. (We have since added that to Yuugi Mutou's profile.)

Re:
Anzu Mazaki, Age 17

Q. How long have you known Yuugi Mutou?

I-I can speak English, ummm…sirs. And to answer your question, I've known Yuugi for about ten years. If it's all right, may I ask you why it matters?

Q. We are conducting an investigation to determine your – and your friends – involvement in the recent events surrounding the group called 'Doma'.

Oh.

Q. You don't sound surprised.

Well, I kind of figured that when you detained us. But my friends and I did nothing wrong! We were invited to come to America by Pegasus J. Crawford, the owner of Industrial Illusions. He can attest to that!

Q. Perhaps, but we have evidence that 'Doma' specially targeted Mr. Crawford, using his card game, plus the use of Kaiba Corporation's holographic technology, to commit acts of cyber terrorism all over the globe.

We had nothing to do with that!

Q. Maybe you didn't, Miss Mazaki, but the evidence suggests 'Doma' also targeted a young man named Yuugi Mutou. Now, we can understand the reason 'Doma' targeted the two companies, but why Yuugi Mutou?

/Silence/

Q. Miss Mazaki?

God cards.

Q. Repeat that?

God cards! 'Doma' was after Yuugi's god cards.

Q. What are those?

They are rare cards in the game Duel Monsters. The game is based around a game played in Ancient Egypt and the most powerful cards are called the 'Egyptian God cards'. T-That's…that's what 'Doma' was after.

Q. 'Doma' was after these cards.

Yes.

Q. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds, Miss Mazaki?

Of course I do! And, yes, it is ridiculous, because I've almost lost all of my friends to a card game! I almost lost Yuugi because of a card game! I almost lost Yuugi because of –

Q. Because of?

N-Nothing. Never mind. Look, I know it's kind of hard to believe 'Doma' did all these awful things because…b-because of a card game, but it's true. And they went after Yuugi, because he's the best at the game. He's…I mean, Y-Yuugi…has never lost a game. And because of that, everyone goes after him. I mean…Yuugi.

Q. Are you all right?

I'm fine. S-Sorry, it's been a rough few days. But, please, believe me when I say, Yuugi is innocent in all of this. The only thing he's guilty of is being really good at a card game. In truth, he's actually a really normal teenager, like all of us!

He likes to play games, eat hamburgers, and just be…normal! And he's always tries to be there when you need him, and sometimes even when you don't realize you need him! But…because of that, everyone kind of…kind of thinks he'll always be there. And you never realize how lost you are when he's gone…

Q. Our investigation has revealed Yuugi Mutou was the one who put a stop to the threat 'Doma' posed.

Heh. Like I said, Yuugi's there when you need him. Even if it's the world that needs him, Yuugi's there.

Q. And you're there for him?

I used to think so.

Q. What do you mean?

N-Nothing. Yes, I'm there for him. Even…Even if he needs me there or not.
