If Rex' time in the Spirit World is just some real Jurassic Park shit because Dinos don't care about symbolism and pride and are all about that toothy carnage then do you think people would be more accepting of it? But yeah Rex has just zero reason to interact with spirits overall, he does work better as a guy that believes in his deck but doesn't have magic running through his veins, like Jonouchi
 
At most, I see him recognising the presence of something, but never really getting into the blatant magic of it.

Just a really strong bond with his cards or something.

There's no spirit world, that's a simple fact of this world, but remember that even the normal guys like Jonouchi and Honda canonically end up romping their way through the time-altered dream world of a dead Pharaoh's memories as they assist him in remembering his name while watching him have sick magical monster fights with a previous incarnation of a fragment of true darkness, and then literally summon spirit monsters to help fight the full might of said true darkness.

So I guess the answer is no to spirit world stuff because that outright is not a thing in the manga, but maybe expect weird Just Ancient Egyptian Things to happen if you stick around with the gang semi-regularly.
 
[X] You're just so moved! This transcends a card game, this is true Duelist Spirit! Change the wager, you'll go five against one chip, on one condition. Next time you and Jou cross paths again, you'll duel him again for the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and you'll see who's progressed further as a skilled player and a real, honourable duelist!

[X] You can't just take Red-Eyes back, as much as you desperately want to. Jonouchi won it fair and square, and it's a super valuable card. Fair is fair. Five chips wagered against one chip, and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon goes to you if you can overcome the odds and beat Yugi.

[X] Argh, goddamn it! Saving grandpas and sisters, offering treasured cards back to you just for the chance of a duel, these people are just too goddamn goodhearted! There's no way you morally accept what Jou is offering. And let's be honest, you're not going to find anybody else out here to duel for even one chip at this time of day. Fine, five chips against his one, no strings attached.

[X] Go with the flow of fortune, and prepare for Three Spheres Imperial Lord. Set Gale Lizard and both traps. That way you can use your Threatening Roar to prevent Yugi from attacking your lizard next turn, then you can bring out your Emperor next turn, and if you really need to you can flip your Gale Lizard to bounce a troublesome monster back to Yugi's hand.

I want the dragon
 
I'm curious. Why do so many people seem to want Red Eyes back? I mean yeah it's a powerful card, but we've created as or even more powerful monsters so far. As far as I'm concerned letting Joey keep Red Eyes is a sign of the major personal growth that Ryuzaki has gone through.

We've created more powerful monsters, but we had to spend a bunch of cards over multiple turns to create them. Under this ruleset, Red-Eyes can just be Normal Summoned instantly.

LIES, and SLANDER!! The reason we are doing this is because of our PRIDE as a Duelist. Joey giving us our card back when he won it fair, and square when we underestimated him? Why it is only either of the two gravest insult, PITY to US, or DISRESPECT to the CARD!!!!

We will only take it back after we REPENT!! We will only take that card back after we prove ourself worthy to wield it again! Never Before!!

VICTORY OR DEATH!!!

Did I overdid it?
 
It's funny to me because REBD will be neither shiny nor remotely optimal the moment the quest moves to the Battle City ruleset and tributes become a thing, but it's still a fair take that Ryu might want it back even with his growth, because Ryuzaki has indeed been grumping about missing his REBD a lot, and the card is definitely an auto-shoe-in for the remainder of Duelist Kingdom if you can get it back. For however many duels you still have left in this tournament, anyway.

So, eh, either way works for me. Play Yugi for it, promise to play Jou for it in the future, move on past your loss and accept that REBD is no longer part of your world, whatever you guys want. I'll just be amused by the inevitable deckbuilding wars that are sure to happen between the dino purists and the REBD fans trying to effectively incorporate it into the deck somehow if you do manage to win it back at any point.

Just letting you know, this card's text should probably include a "must first be" if you don't want it to break Super Polymerization. I know, not a DM era card, but neither is Linkerbell.

Good catch, I've corrected this.

Eh It not that I want Red eyes so much, rather is that I agree what Ryuzaki said that betting 5 of our star chips for 1 of Yuig isn't fair for us. There needs something else to balance the scores so to say. It can be Red eyes, it could be Yugi that he gives us a rare card from his deck or something like that. But yeah I'm not okay with just betting our 5 to his 1 just like that.

I doubt Rex'd be quiiite moved enough by all the shonen nonsense for a blown out reaction like so many folks want, but he obviously sees there are some bigger stakes and emotional stuff going on in the background. Let Joey keep the damn card, and we can challenge him for it properly later if we really want it back instead of making it some stipulation. A duel like this doesn't need such things.

Going big or going home.
 
Well, at least the duel votes are pretty clearcut, so I can start writing that part of the update while dodging relatives today :V
Vagrant threw 3 6-faced dice. Reason: Mend Bridges? Total: 6
2 2 3 3 1 1
 
Whether it's bad or not entirely depends on how much you want the two characters I rolled for to make amends and trust each other again, I suppose :whistle:

Oh, I get it now.

So, we're in the clock now. Atem and Yugi are trying to become buddies again. Dunno what's the threshold, but if we really wanna beat them, we need to end this fast.

...though is debatable if winning is the right thing to do here, considering that is Pegasus we're talking about.
 
Yeah, I think there's very little chance we win here, and if we do Pegasus wipes the floor with us. Best we can hope to do is impress them enough with our duel and generally being a nice guy that we're let in with the rest of the scooby gang, and we can do a bit of corporate espionage on the side. Still, that's no reason to sandbag.
