Yugi Couldn’t Match Mako’s Ocean-Based Strategy in Yu-Gi-Oh!
InYu - Gi - Oh!episode 7 ( write by Junki Takegami , Masashi Sogo , and Shin Yoshida , and directed by Kunihisa Sugishima ) , Yugi is challenge by a fellow dueler , Mako , while in Pegasus ’ Duel Monsters Tournament on the island jazz as Duelist Kingdom . Mako is a master dueler when it comes to ocean - ground scheme , as most of his cards are piddle monsters , so duel near the ocean gives him a field magnate incentive . However , what ’s more noteworthy is that when dueling on the ocean , the monsters Mako bidding happen under the water system , so Mako ’s antagonist ca n’t see what they ’re up against – and in this pillow slip , that adversary was Yugi .
After Mako made his first move , Yugi had no idea what was wait him under the waves , which meant that he did n’t fuck how to counter . While he wager a satisfying defence card , Mako ’s fiend quick defeated it when it was his turning to round . In the opening move , Mako drained Yugi of a fair amount of his life points , which determine Yugi off to a trembling start right at the beginning . While Yugi was able-bodied to bounce back – given all the previously stated reasons for why he ’s the best – he really struggled at the start of the affaire d’honneur . This is because there was no room for Yugi to know what monster Mako played initially , so Yugi had no way to pit it .
Even though Yugi bounced back , the fact that Mako had a scheme that left him entirely vulnerable and unable to counter in any meaningful way without losing life point is a somewhat significant feat on Mako ’s part . Mako used the sea for its field power bonus as well as for its visibility advantage , and in doing so , thisYu - Gi - Oh!duelist implement a strategy even Yugi could n’t play off .
