Kaiba : The development of events began six months ago—

Kaiba: The Kaiba Corporation have made advancements in a certain project!

SFX: DOOM

Scientist: Kaiba-sama—It's time for your observation of the R&D Department!

Kaiba: Operation Neurons!!

Kaiba: Hmph...

Kaiba: I'm on the way.

Kaiba: That's the development code for the new Duel Disk boasted by our company!

Kaiba: We've tried countless numbers of test versions up to this point—

Kaiba: But no more than a select few have safely reached the point to be declared our new product...


PAGE 9

Kaiba: This test version of the Neurons VR System is right now scrap in a garbage pile!

Kaiba: But—

Kaiba: It's a failure with an overabundance of unlocked potential!!

Sign: DUEL DISK R&D DEPARTMENT

Professor: To collect data on the test versions, we have turned towards the entire world and are eliciting the help of test monitor applicants. We have over 1,000,000 applicants.

Professor: Out of them, we have produced approx. 200,000 duelists under the age of fifteen regardless of race or creed—with the network of every branch in the country sending us around the clock data!

Mokuba: Duelists around the country are absolutely pining to see the world you've created, offering their help free of charge...That's quite the statement!

Kaiba: Pay close attention medically to the test version's subjects!

Scientist: Yes, sir!


PAGE 11

Scientist: This way, sir.

Scientist: Please take a look...This is Neurons.


PAGE 12

Kaiba: Truly...

Kaiba: charming little eggs...Heh heh heh.

Kaiba: The electromagnetic coils of the Neurons Gear attached to them detect brainwave activity and change those into electromagnetic signals—

Kaiba: and then they link up the image from the player's imagination with our company's Crystal Cloud Network and complete the VR Solid Vision!

Child: Draw!

Mokuba: Neuron systems around the world interacting with each other's frequencies—and at this moment, there are people who have never seen one another dueling in VR space!

Mokuba: That is what you've created, Brother—


PAGE 13

Mokuba: The world of Duel Links!

Mokuba: Duelists are sent card data from the Cloud Server and can create decks in response to several different Attributes!


PAGE 14

Mokuba: These visions are the evolved version of the duel world that we've chased after! Transcending creed, national borders, languages, children are uniting towards this world!!


PAGE 15

Mokuba: Players can even band together based on the level of their brain wave frequency--their Duel Pulse!

Mokuba: Certain people can form a guild of Dragon-users—

Mokuba: Others a pirate guild with sea attributes—!

Mokuba: And a relative duel universe will expand into infinity!!


PAGE 16

Player: It's the Airborne Dragon Knight Guild's turn!!

GIANT FORTRESS BEAST GAIRON ATK 2400 PULSE

Player: I summon Space Mineral Dragon, Stone Head Dragon!!

SPACE MINERAL DRAGON STONE HEAD DRAGON ATK 3600 PULSE

Player: ...What!?

Player: An attack power of 3600 Pulse!?

Player: Attack!!


PAGE 17

SFX: DOGOOOOO

Player: Giant Fortress Beast, Gairon, is destroyed!!

Player: We did it! Our Airborne Guild won—!!

Kaiba: The attack power of the monster data summoned from the Crystal Cloud Server is determined by the value of their brainwaves and thought signals. The power of their consciousness is the key to making monsters even stronger!!

Kaiba: The hardest thing to modify in any game is maintaining "order"...

Kaiba: But...one could also say that order being destroyed is the way of the world...


PAGE 18

SFX: DOOM

???: I challenge you all...

Guild: Gwaaahh....

Kaiba: And wipe them out!!

PAGE 21

???: The Airborne Dragon Knight Guild...

???: Not all they were cracked up to be, I see.

SFX: WHOOOOSH

Kaiba:  The appearance of a dangerous element is extremely delightful to me, but...

Kaiba: ...from a business perspective, it's a presence I can't let go unchecked...

Kaiba: They've called themselves "Plana"...


PAGE 22

Scientist: Incredible...! A Solid Vision unlike any other--simply groundbreaking!!

Scientist: It's as if we too exist in this world...!!

Scientist: In this Duel Links world...!!

Scientist: Seto-sama!! The new Duel Disk's trial version development is without a doubt a success!!

Kaiba: ......The system is still only at 50%...

Kaiba: There are some unexpected distortions in the VR images...

Kaiba: Scan the brainwave data of a portion of the subjects and report to me before day's end!

Scientist: Yes, sir!

Kaiba: ...!

Kaiba: That was when...

WHO IS THE GIRL KAIBA IS LOOKING AT--!?

Kaiba: When I saw that young girl...
