Here the translation:
Dan and I were doing one of our live Yu-Gi-Oh duels and we were told that sensei wanted to meet with us. It was exciting that he was there to see the event. I asked what the protocol would be. Would we shake hands, bow, could we talk? I mean, he’s the creator of the show! Anyway, we were told to play by ear and follow his example.
After taking the formalities and awkward photos out of the way, I asked him, ‘Hey, do you want to do an anime pose with us like we do with fans?’ The translator’s eyes widened and he said to Sensei in a low voice. He smiled and said yes. Here is the photo. Not only the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh, but like all of us, a fan. R.I.P. With love Kaiba.
Without a doubt, it will be painful to bear this loss, after all Takahashi It created one of the most famous anime in the world, making a friendly competition for Pokémon in its time. In addition, the card game has not lost relevance since it arrived in our lands. And surely the company that owns it, Konamiwill continue to expand the legacy.
