Hunter was present at the D1 Grand Prix opening ceremonies where he watched Rex Goodwin ' s introduction to the tournament and greedily smiled when Rex mentioned the prize money . When it was announced the first Duel of the tournament was to be Yusei vs . Greiger , Hunter showed great disappointment at having to wait . During Yusei and Greiger ' s Duel , he was shocked when Greiger almost performed a One Turn Kill . He also commented that Yusei ' s reason for Dueling Jack in order to reclaim his pride was nonsensical . Hunter laughed to himself when he thought " Blaze Fenix , the Burning Bombardment Bird " had defeated Yusei . The impact of Yusei ' s Sense shocked Hunter when it destroyed Greiger ' s Duel Runner which made him laugh . When Tetsuo Trudge won his Duel , Hunter showed annoyance at a Sector Security member being in the tournament . Prior to his Duel with Yusei , Hunter and his gang snuck in and took out the accelerator from Yusei ' s Duel Runner , preventing it from speeding up . In his Duel with Yusei , Hunter used his monsters to stop Yusei from attacking him and using his Sense , calling it his " 100 % Defense Mod " . He also revealed to Yusei that he paid a large amount of money to someone high up in order to be placed against Yusei and that he formulated his Deck to counter Yusei ' s Cross Sense .

As Hunter lays down on the floor after his embarrassing loss , he looked up to see Yusei glaring at him . Hunter told him that if he had something to say he should just say it and asked if Yusei has a problem with him . Yusei just smiled at Hunter and thanked him for the Duel , infuriating Hunter even more . Deck . Hunter uses a Stall Deck , primarily through high DEF monsters that negate attack s such as " Signal Vehicle " . His Deck was formulated to counter Yusei Fudo ' s Cross Sense and focuses more on the speed aspect of Turbo Duel s rather than Life Points reduction .
