## Watching Yu-Gi-Oh!
Shorts, the Old-school Duelists Have a Meltdown!
# Chapter 19: A Brand New App Feature!
Bullet Comments Connecting the DM World?
Yuuki Hoshi rubbed his chin, staring at the newly revealed feature.
He fell into deep thought.
It was true that he could earn money by scrolling through videos, but since he was using this app, shouldn’t he experience all its functions?
Besides, the 2,000 yuan he was about to spend had come from the app itself.
Unlocking it wouldn’t actually cost him anything out of his own pocket.
He was just using the money the app gave him to unlock its own features.
Looking at it that way, it was definitely worth a shot.
“Alright, fine,” he muttered.
“Two thousand yuan it is. I want to see exactly what this brand-new feature does!”
Yuuki Hoshi tapped the confirmation button.
Immediately, 2,000 yuan was deducted from his linked bank account.
But that didn’t matter.
What mattered was what happened next.
After the successful unlock, a new button appeared on the app’s interface: [DM World].
The moment he clicked it, Yuuki Hoshi froze.
He was utterly dumbfounded.
…
Seto Kaiba: [What’s going on? Why did the screen go black? Is there nothing left after showing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the HEROes?]
Yugi Muto: [Kaiba, don’t be so impatient! Perhaps it just needs a moment between segments.]
Joey Wheeler: [Forget it, forget it. Looks like there’s no more video content. I think we should just get back to the KC Cup.]
Mai Valentine: [Mmhmm, I really want to know who exactly is controlling the content from that higher world.]
…
Yuuki Hoshi swallowed hard.
He watched as the interface filled with messages, scrolling across like a chat group or a live stream’s danmaku.
He was beyond stunned.
How could he not be familiar with these names?
How could he not know who these people were?
was this for real?
No!
It had to be fake!
These must be other users of the app pretending to be characters!
“That’s hilarious,” he whispered.
“These guys really know how to stay in character.”
Yuuki Hoshi typed into the interface: [Hey, hey, hey! I said, what’s with the act, guys? Can you show yourselves with your real names?]
Yuuki Hoshi: [Using anime character names is a bit too much chuunibyou, don’t you think?]
Yuuki Hoshi: [If you’re so brave, why don’t you change your profile pictures to those Shamat starfish heads and let me see?]
As soon as Yuuki Hoshi sent his messages, the DM World went silent.
Within the DM World, the black screen that had lingered after the HERO video suddenly displayed Yuuki Hoshi’s two sentences.
Because of those words, every duelist in the entire DM World felt a physical jolt.
Seto Kaiba’s pupils dilated!
He stared at the black screen in shock.
That voice?
It didn’t come from anyone on their side!
It was the voice of the person controlling the video broadcasts!
It was really…
him?
Yugi Muto couldn’t help but tremble.
The voice echoed through the sky like the word of a deity, reverberating with an ethereal quality.
This was the voice of the operator from the higher world!
Joey Wheeler twitched, his voice cautious as he began to reply.
Joey Wheeler: [Who… who are you? My real name IS Katsuya Jonouchi. And what on earth is an ‘anime’?]
…
In the primary world, Yuuki Hoshi almost doubled over laughing at Joey’s reply.
“This guy! He’s really leaning into the role, isn’t he?”
Yuuki Hoshi: [Yo, yo! You’re actually making me laugh.]
Yuuki Hoshi: [You say your real name is Katsuya Jonouchi? You got any proof?]
…
In the DM World, Joey Wheeler felt like he was about to cough up blood.
Proof?
What kind of proof did he need?
What kind of weirdo was this person controlling the videos?
Yugi Muto: [We have no reason to lie to you. These are our real names.]
Mai Valentine: [Indeed. Judging by your voice, you sounds like a rather green little brother, don’t you? I’m Mai Valentine, but I suppose you already knew that?]
Weevil Underwood: [Hehehe! Hey, you over there! Hurry up and show me some Insect-type content! I want to see how my Insect Queen is doing!]
Solomon Muto: [Young man from the other world, we have no reason to deceive you. This is truly who we are.]
Odion: [It’s true. Were you not just watching a video about the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, followed by the HEROes?]
Ishizu Ishtar: [Perhaps everything has been orchestrated by the hands of fate.]
…
In the primary world, Yuuki Hoshi’s brow furrowed.
He couldn’t stay calm anymore.
If it were just one or two people pretending to be anime characters, he could write it off.
But now, they were popping up one after another.
It was impossible for an entire group of users to perfectly coordinate a roleplay like this.
Furthermore, Odion had accurately identified the two short videos he had just watched!
That was the smoking gun.
It proved these weren’t just AI bots or random trolls.
Could it be?
Did this app actually open a gateway to the world of the Duel Monsters anime?
Through this software, could he actually chat with these legendary characters?
If that were true, then the feature description about “unlocking duels with characters from the dueling world” was also real?
Could he actually duel against Yugi Muto or Seto Kaiba?
The more Yuuki Hoshi thought about it, the more absurd and fantastical it seemed.
What kind of app was this?
Yuuki Hoshi: [Alright. If you guys are really the people of the DM World…]
Yuuki Hoshi: [Then let me ask you this: what is the title of the next video I’m about to watch?]
After asking, Yuuki Hoshi searched for a video titled “Toxic Eldlich Breakdown! Have You Learned This Disgusting Playstyle?” and entered full-screen mode.
A minute later…
Yugi Muto: [“Toxic Eldlich Breakdown! Have You Learned This Disgusting Playstyle?”]
Yugi Muto: [Is that the one?]
