This chapter was originally printed in the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in Japanese . Its first English release was in the Shonen Jump magazine . It has been reprinted in volume 6 of the tankōbon and volume 4 of the bunkoban . Summary . First fight . For trying to strangle Yugi with his own Millennium Puzzle , Jonouchi warns Hirutani that he has made him mad . Hirutani laughs that Jonouchi should look at where he is now , before making big talk . With a number of gangsters swinging yo - yos at Yugi and Jonouchi , Hirutani says that even Jonouchi should be able to see that he is in a no win situation . One of the gangsters laughs that they are going to " walk the dog " on their dead bodies . With too many thugs and nowhere to run , Jonouchi thinks that this is bad . Hirutani gives Jonouchi one more chance to join the gang if he wants to live . Yugi objects that Jonouchi will never join the gang , regardless of how much Hirutani threatens him . Jonouchi agrees and says that that is what a real friend would say . Hirutani gives his gang the order to kill Jonouchi and Yugi . Jonouchi tells Yugi to stay back and gets an idea from looking at the Millennium Puzzle . He asks for a loan of the Puzzle and Yugi hands it over , curious as to what he is about to do . Jonouchi asks the thugs to bring it on and starts swinging the Puzzle around by holding the far end of the rope . This causes all the yo - yos to get caught in the rope . Jonouchi grabs onto the yo - yos and removes the Puzzle . With that , he ties them to the hook hanging from the ceiling and raises it up , leaving the thugs dangling by their fingers . The five gangsters wail in pain , while Jonouchi laughs that that is " Human hanging yo - yo tech " . Second fight . Start . Jonouchi returns the Puzzle to Yugi , who switches to Dark Yugi . Jonouchi is slightly surprised , not being used to seeing Yugi change . Dark Yugi says that it ' s payback time and that Jonouchi should take Hirutani , while he handles the rest of the gang . Hirutani orders his minions not to let Yugi and Jonouchi leave here alive . Hirutani and the five of them chase Yugi and Jonouchi upstairs , where they find they ' ve disappeared . One of them spots Yugi out on the galvanized roof through the broken windows . The gang come out and corner him , teasing him for letting himself get surrounded . However Yugi pulls out a yo - yo and spins it around quickly , impressing them . He catches the yo - yo back in his hand and says " Let ' s start the game " . The rules are simple , he explains , last one standing on the roof wins . The thugs start to close in on Yugi , but Jonouchi who is standing behind them calls Hirutani over and suggests that they end this for once and for all . Hirutani laughs that he has heard Jonouchi say that before back in middle school at the start of their friendship . He reminds Jonouchi how they used to fight , until both of them were on the ground and neither of them won . Jonouchi says that that was before Hirutani was screwed - up in the head and today he won ' t be holding back . The two run at each other and Hirutani swings a punch at Jonouchi . However he dodges it and gets ready to hit Hirutani back . Yugi facing four minions . The remainder of the gang are swinging their yo - yos at Yugi . Yugi starts to swing his yo - yo at the roof below him , smashing holes in it . He runs around in a circle making these holes and stops at the corner of the roof , where the gangsters close in on him . They menacingly laugh that he has fallen into their trap and say he has a choice ; Either let them hit him in the face with their yo - yos or jump off the edge . However Yugi grins and claims that they are the ones who have fallen into the trap . He explains that the rusty old roof that they ' re standing on was weak enough to be easily broken by a yo - yo . With the thugs now standing inside the circle of holes he made , he asks how long they think it will hold their weight . The roof begins to warp and the gangsters panic . Yugi announces that you don ' t aim yo - yos at people , you aim them at the ground and suggests that they think about that in the hospital . The gangsters portion of the roof gives away and they fall through . Jonouchi facing Hirutani . Jonouchi and Hirutani continue their fight . Jonouchi manages to punch Hirutani in the face , knocking out a tooth . Jonouchi asks Hirutani what ' s the matter and guesses he ' s gone flabby . He jokes that it must be easy on top of " Monkey Mountain " . As Hirutani steps back to recover he gets an idea from looking at the broken window . He takes a shard of the broken glass and hits it , causing it to break into pieces . He then tosses the pieces of glass into Jonouchi ' s face . With glass in his eyes , Jonouchi is unable to see . Hirutani laughs that unlike Jonouchi , he has gotten smarter . He punches Jonouchi , who is still trying to get the glass out of his eyes . Hirutani collects another shard of glass and prepares to plant it into Jonouchi ' s neck as a victory flag . Jonouchi wonders where Hirutani went and starts to listen . He hears crunching noises as Hirutani steps on broken glass . From this , Jonouchi is able to figure out his location . As Hirutani sneaks up , Jonouchi quickly turns around and punches him in the face . Hirutani is knocked back is slides off the edge of the roof , leaving him hanging over the edge by one hand . Jonouchi ' s eyes start to recover and he walks over to Hirutani . He takes out his yo - yo and asks if Hirutani wants to see his yo - yo tech . He rolls the yo - yo on the ground , demonstrating his " parade the pooch " or " walk the dog " . The yo - yo hits Hirutani in the hand , causing him to lose his grip and fall . Jonouchi rolls the yo - yo back up to his hand . he confesses that that is the only trick he knows ; He ' s still practicing the others . Aftermath . Dark Yugi comes over , relieved that Jonouchi is okay . They wonder where Nezumi went and Jonouchi vows to kick his butt , when he finds him .
