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 4 of the and volume 3 of the bunkoban . Summary . Introduction . Yugi , Jonouchi and Honda brace themselves for the shootout . Johnny Gayle , Bob McGuire and " name unknown " , stand at the other side of the battlefield , confident that they will win . The floor tiles light up as screens . An image of a woman welcoming them to Kaiba information appears . The screen then switches to Kaiba , who greets Yugi and informs him , Jonouchi and Honda that the enemies they will be facing are mercenaries , who he has hired especially for this game . If Yugi and his friends are lucky , Kaiba says that they shall die in a blaze of glory , like a shooting star across the sky . Jonouchi yells at Kaiba that his games suck and they are going to make it right to the top . Yugi vows to challenge Kaiba again , with his grandfather ' s cards when they get there . Kaiba smirks and in his head recollects that Yugi has been given toy guns , while the mercenaries have real lasers , which can cause a one million volt shock , should they hit a sensor in a life vest . Kaiba says to enjoy their last game and the screen goes blank . Jonouchi tells everyone to concentrate . Kaiba will do anything to win , so the enemy will be tough , Yugi warns . Honda isn ' t too worried . He is an ace with model guns , he tells them and claims to have been able to hit a ¥100 coin with a BB gun from 50 feet , when he was a kid . The game starts and Yugi , Jonouchi and Honda hide behind one wall . First round . Name unknown asks how they should deal with these kids . Being the expert in guerrilla warfare , Gayle suggests that they leave it to him . He plans to pursue a surprise attack and finish them in an instant . With the opposition being amateurs , he predicts that they will be scared stiff when he jumps out in front of them . This game is nothing to someone with real combat experience he comments , before moving in . Gayle makes his way through the battlefield , while back at their starting post , McGuire accuses him of showing off and wanting the bounty all to himself . At the other team ' s post , Jonouchi cannot understand why they are waiting around , but Honda insists that they should stay still and wait for the mercenaries to make the first move . Honda thinks to himself ; in tight quarters like these you only move forward when you have a secure good position ; that is a basic survival technique . In his head , Yugi agrees with Honda , believing they should stay put and wait for the enemy to come to them . Jonouchi cannot stand sneaking around like this . A real man faces his enemy head on , he thinks . Unable to take it anymore , he hops up on top of the wall much to his teammates ' disgust . With a clear view of the battlefield , Jonouchi races across the tops of the walls , until he spots Gayle crawling below him . Jonouchi shouts that he has found one and Gayle looks up in shock , astonished that Jonouchi thought up an attack even more surprising than his . Jonouchi readies his gun , but Gayle being the one with weapon training is able to aim his gun much quicker . However Jonouchi decides not to use the gun and leaps down , kicking Gayle in the face . Gayle calls him " Kamikaze boy " and Jonouchi smiles , saying that his way is much faster . Yugi is thrilled that Jonouchi managed to take one out , while Honda is totally stunned . The other mercenaries are surprised and start shooting at Jonouchi . Jonouchi runs for cover . Now that the mercenaries have shown themselves and Jonouchi is acting as decoy , Honda takes the chance to finish them off . He sees McGuire and hits him dead on in the sensor . However , it has no effect . Jonouchi makes it back to the Yugi and hides behind a wall . Yugi starts shooting back at the mercenaries too . A laser goes past Honda , skimming his shoulder . He feels a shock , although the guns are supposed to be non - lethal . Name unknown and McGuire move in closer to Yugi and Jonouchi . Honda calls over to his team mates , telling them that they have to pull back , as there is something wrong with the game . Jonouchi is not happy with the idea of running . Time out . Back in the station , Anzu is watching them on a monitor , impressed that they have beaten one of the enemies . Johji calls her " Anzu baby " and suggests that they ditch the others and go on a date in the park . Anzu is flabbergasted and comments that Johji is mature for a baby and asks what his name was again . He tells her that it is Johji and that there is a pretty good milk stand in the park . Yugi , Honda and Jonouchi arrive back at the station . Jonouchi is annoyed about running , saying that it is not cool to show your back to the enemy . Anzu is surprised and tells them that they cannot leave in the middle of a game . Johji frowns , annoyed that the boys have interrupted his time with Anzu . Yugi asks Honda what is wrong . He replies that the game is rigged and hops his gun off the ground , calling the guns useless and says that there is no way that they can win . He curses Kaiba for playing such a dirty trick Enraged Johji takes Anzu ' s gun and aims it at the boys . He calls Honda a bully for interrupting his time with Anzu and talking bad about Kaiba . Not willing to let Honda get away with it , he starts firing lasers at the boys . The trio run for cover , while the blasts hit the extra vests on a rack behind them . One of the vests ' sensors is hit , causing it to get electrocuted . Everyone is surprised at the effect . Yugi realizes that they could have been hit with that same shock . Honda takes Anzu ' s gun from Johji and compares it to his . While the two guns look the same , they are built completely different . The mercenaries have guns just like Anzu ' s , Honda says . Jonouchi continues that Kaiba did not know Anzu was their friend when she was hired , which is why she was given one of the lethal guns . Seeing how Kaiba has set her friends up , Anzu announces that she is quitting her job . Yugi curses Kaiba and calls the game cowardly . With one working gun , Honda thinks they should be able to take out the remaining two opponents , as Kaiba hadn ' t predicted this . With their opponent ' s being two professional shooters , Yugi asks what they can do with one gun . Jonouchi suggests that he do another surprise attack , but Honda quickly shoots down the idea , calling Jonouchi an idiot and saying that it was a miracle it worked the first time . Johji tells the boys to shut up . Kaiba is the greatest player and they should stop saying bad things about him , he warns them , and says that he would like to shoot Honda with the gun . Honda looks at the sulking baby and gets an idea . Second round . Honda goes into the battlefield alone . Name unknown sees him and asks if is going to keep playing . Honda remains silent and the mercenaries aim their guns . McGuire laughs that he doesn ' t stand a chance , because it is two against one . Honda approaches them , drops his gun and raises his arms in surrender . The mercenaries start laughing , and name unknown says that Honda ' s surrender is no use . McGuire explains that that is because Kaiba has paid them to kill him . The mercenaries prepare to shoot . Johji , who is hidden on Honda ' s back tosses a gun to Honda , which he uses to take out both enemies , before they can get him . The two fall to the ground as they are hit with an electric shock , while Honda smirks , asking if they ever watch westerns ; the hero is always the one who says the least . Before leaving , he tells them not to worry , he turned down the voltage , so the shock won ' t kill them . Aftermath . Yugi , Jonouchi and Anzu congratulate Honda . Johji reminds him that he helped out , so Honda ' s not to forget his promise . Honda begs Anzu to take a bath with Johji , much to her disgust . She refuses and runs away from him . Kaiba sees that they have cleared the first stage and wonders how they will fare in the next one . Anime adaption . Episode 22 of the Toei anime , " " is partly based on this chapter .
