The 4th OCG Story: Gagagigo's Journey into Adulthood[edit]
In his youth, he grew up healthy and strong under the watchful eyes of his father and mother. But one day, he lost his sense of reason, and turned into a savage monster that did nothing but destroy one thing after another. What happened to Gagagigo? Let us look back on his life as he grew into a man.
Childhood: The days of Gigobyte[edit]
Immediately after being born, Gigobyte started to walk. "This kid'll surely be a big shot some day!"... As if in response to the affection and expectations that his parents and grandparents poured upon him, he spent his childhood living carefree. Also, his beady eyes are really cute.
A naughty boy[edit]
As a kid, he was probably a bit too naughty, as well as being a bit too spoiled. He played every day until it was dark, and came home covered in cuts. You could definitely say he was a mischievous kid who was a bit too much for his parents to handle.
 |
| "Triangle Power" |
He grew up with a reputation for being the neighborhood bad-boy. But with other kids, he was pretty popular as the "boss."
(A bratty bully!!) |
Can you make 100 friends?[edit]
The school decided to have a play as a parts of its School Arts Festival. Though he auditioned for a leading role, unfortunately for "Gigobyte", he ended up up with a role as a crowd member. In the end, his only line of dialogue was "Over there."
 |
| "The Law of the Normal" |
Although he was just an extra, he stepped forward showing off to everyone. He ended up being scolded by the teacher.
(With everyone.) |
As "Gagagigo", he became a hot-tempered rebellious youth[edit]
By gaining a burly physique, he became "Gagagigo". These are his teenage years. Because of the agonies of love, he ends up in one fight after another. But who is the certain person he worked so hard and seriously to meet...!?
 |
| "Gagagigo" |
| (That "certain person" is...?) |
The light and darkness of his youth[edit]
He took the plunge and "assaulted" the girl he liked! ...But the results were a failure. The girl never even read the letter he spent all night writing. Gagagigo fell on his knees, shocked. His first love vanished with the dew.
Fighting every day from dawn to dusk[edit]
To cover the pain of being rejected, Gagagigo ended up fighting again and again. In that neighborhood, there is none who doesn't know his name. The endless days of new wounds that wouldn't close continued.
His day-to-day life is one fight after another[edit]
|
|
 |
| "Des Counterblow" | | However, he did lose a few times. But that didn't stop him from fighting. |
|
Powering himself up with snazzy-looking armor!![edit]
As those rough days went on and on, people started calling him by the nickname "Giga Gagagigo". He finally equipped himself with armor, but he could no longer feel alive in battle. What has he become...?
(It's rust-proof!!) |
Fights with his rival, Freed[edit]
When men talk, they don't use silly things like words. They understand each other by punching each other. The fights with his rival, Freed, might have been therapeutic for Gagagigo.
They talk with their fists![edit]
 |
| "D.D. Borderline" | | They become each other's good rival. A strange friendship ends up forming between them. |
|
|
Even if you read it backwards, it's still "Gogiga Gagagigo"[edit]
(Wiki editor's note: This applies to the syllables of this monster's name, read in reverse order.)
In the end, his soul finally collapsed, and he was never able to return to being just Gagagigo. His body is now out of control and thirsts for destruction. Is it possible, that maybe, just one day, he'll return to being just plain ol' Gagagigo? If it is, maybe, one day, his smiling face will be seen once again.
Gagagigo from Freed's perspective[edit]
"In the old days, we were rivals with one another, and enjoyed fighting each other. Although, I've heard rumors that he's completely changed these days. What? Someone who could reawaken that guy's 'Heart of Justice'? ...Sorry, I don't have any idea myself."
The 5th OCG Story: Go!! Our Marauding Captain[edit]
He has the most dangerous assignment on the battlefield. This is the work of "Marauding Captain". In order to raise the morale of his men, he'll gladly charge forth on the frontlines into enemy territory. For the sake of his side's victory, he has both the courage and determination to sacrifice his own life if his duty calls for it.
Captain, we need your help![edit]
"Marauding Captain" has many subordinates. Since he's the captain, even if he's standing before a powerful enemy, he refuses to flinch or falter. Instead, he'll slice the enemy apart with his two beloved swords.
A close call for Marauding Captain!?[edit]
In order to break a continuing stalemate, "Captain" decided to charge deep into enemy territory! Along the way, Captain took a direct attack that was meant for one of his men. Afterwards, with his whereabouts on the battlefield became unknown... His men became worried about their Captain's safety.
 |
| "Reinforcement of the Army" | Yelling "Let's Go!", the Captain's squad charged the enemy camp. This is the strongest squad which many an adversary fears.
("CHARGE!") |
|
 |
| "My Body as a Shield" | He discovered one of his men had been brainwashed by the enemy. Even though his former man was now his enemy, his burning sense of chivalry compelled him to take the blow, saving his subordinate from a terrible fate, even at the cost of his own body.
("Keep going without me!") |
|
The 6th OCG Story: The Days of Freed, the Career Soldier[edit]
"Freed the Matchless General". As his name suggests, the military unit he commands has never once been defeated. Is the secret of his strength as a war hero really what the rumors say? "That the goddess of victory is in love with him?" I'll thoroughly investigate the unbeatable Freed.
"I am Freed, the Undefeated"[edit]
He is said to be a military genius who, if forced to fight a thousand battles, will win a thousand times. In fact, he fights by considering the weather and terrain to the smallest detail, to the point where it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has made it into an art.
He was once a wanderer[edit]
While Freed is now revered as a god of war these days, he was not always as strong as he is now. He wandered from country to country, and it is because of this time, where he travelled to become more and more skilled in combat, he became the man he is today.
 |
| "Freed the Brave Wanderer |
In order to learn his own limits, Freed travelled all over. Through many encounters and goodbyes, he grew as a man.
(Travelling to fight better!?) |
Freed is the kind of man who is as good at his desk as he is on the battlefield[edit]
By grasping the terrain of the battlefield, he can hammer out a strategy based on his men's strengths. He also jumps to the front lines in order to give his allies exact instructions. This is the secret of Freed's army and how he is known as "Matchless"!!
 |
| "A Feint Plan" | After returning from the Graveyard, he plans his next strategy. If it means he'll win, sleeping is a luxury he can go without.
(An able man!!) |
|
 |
| "Order to Charge" | By giving support on the front line, the General also increases the morale of his friends and allies at the same time.
(He's a control tower!!) |
|
How Freed's men see him[edit]
| The General? Oh, the General. O'course we like the dignified air he's got on 'im. After all, facial hair gives ya a refined look. We, being the General's men, always win, so we're pretty famous with our comrade mercs. ... Are we like the General? No way, the bloke's skills ain't even human, and he's way out of our league. |
The 7th OCG Story: The Underworld Diary of "Ha Des"[edit]
There is a great king who rules over the Underworld. His name is "Ha Des". He is quite skilled, having been able to bring the rabble of the Underworld together. We've decided to try and approach "Ha Des" today. But, the work of a king is very time-consuming and difficult.
If he gets angry, fear Des![edit]
(Wiki editor's note: This title is a pun based on the name of "Dark Ruler Ha Des" and the fact that Konami often censors the word "Death" to "Des" in card names.)
 |
| "Bark of Dark Ruler" | He barks at his minions if they continue to mess up! The echo of his thundering howls shake the entire Underworld to its core!
(Scream!) |
|
 |
| "The Puppet Magic of Dark Ruler" | Those that incur the wrath of Ha Des become his puppets, and are forced to serve as his slaves for eternity.
(Pulling the strings!) |
|
Des forgives not those who defy him!![edit]
In order for the majesty of the King to be maintained, those who dare defy him are severely punished. In the Underworld, which is a strictly vertical and hierarchical society, none who break its laws are forgiven. There are many terrible punishments that await the ones who do.
 |
| "Soul Demolition" | When he gets really angry, he tends to crush the souls of his minions! Sometimes, they need to be taught a lesson.
(He shatters the soul to pieces) |
|
 |
| "Demotion" | He demotes the lazy mercilessly and gets rid of them. Ha Des has incredible Human Resources managing skills!
(He's using his HR skills!!) |
|
An interview with his predecessor[edit]
 |
| "Dark King of the Abyss" |
What, is there something you want? Huh? HA DES!? Keh, he disgusts me. That jerk fires whoever annoys him. How did I, the great and glorious former King, end up like this... destitute!?
("If only he didn't exist...") |
The 8th OCG Story: We are the Ojamas?[edit]
In the OCG World, amongst the tons of cute and stylish mascot characters, there's us, the "Ojama Trio"! Our dazzling smiles have captivated every Duelist in the game. You should cheer if you see us in a Duel♪
A splendid three-man band[edit]
The three of them with their stunning personalities and striking appearances straight out of a dream are quite unforgettable. They, the "Ojamas", also hold a one-sided rivalry with the "Harpie Lady" trio.
Our looks are envied[edit]
I wonder if it's a crime to be too good-looking? These days, we're harassed by those who envy our charming good looks. But we never lose. This is because it's our fate to be just that handsome.
 |
| "Man-Thro' Tro'" |
An enthusiastic fan shows us how much he loves us; we're glad, but he's overdoooooing iiiiit~!
(NO MORE~) |
The King that keeps an eye on the three-man band[edit]
No~, they really are a trio of hip and happenin' guys. I'd like you to become my servant. Eh? You're wondering if there's a monster that the three "Ojamas" merge and fuse together to form? ......Yes, there's something like that if I remember correctly...
The 9th OCG Story: A Famous Coach!? Second Goblin[edit]
There was once a man called "the strongest man alive." While he was thought for certain to get the Belt, he had a sudden breakdown, causing him to leave the Ring, and disappeared to who knows where. It's been twenty years since then. In order to fulfill his dream, he now raises the curtain for a new Goblin challenge.
I want to train the future champ!![edit]
"I gotta say, kid, that punch! That's the punch that'll win ya the Belt and the title!" is what the Goblin shouts in his lowly gym these days. Is the day that the future Champ will be born here almost nigh...!?
The dream I couldn't achieve...[edit]
The glorious Championship Belt. To earn it has been the Goblin's life. He entrusts the young boxers with his former dream, working hard every day to train these young fighters.
 |
| "Second Goblin" |
The road to being the Champion is a long and rugged one. The Goblin puts his students through the wringer and doesn't pull any punches.
(Get up! GET UP!!) |
Members of the Goblin Gym[edit]
The Goblin bought his Gym just as it was about to be destroyed, and made a fresh start. The old gym was home to a great Champ who went undefeated his entire career. The Goblin dreams of raising a Champ like him some day.
 |
| "Des Kangaroo" | He feints his opponent by using his quick footwork. While he earns points using his jabs, he makes sure to finish them off by paying them a visit with his knockout punch.
(The Star Player.) |
|
 |
| "Continuous Destruction Punch" | This is his treasured trump card: the "Continuous Destruction Punch"!! This frightening rush hits so fast that it blurs before your very eyes.
("K.O." by knockout punch.) |
|
The 10th OCG Story: ...Mokey Mokey? Mokey Mokey! Mokey Mokey!![edit]
A mascot of the world of angels!? It's "Mokey Mokey", a mysterious angel whose thoughts are a complete mystery to everyone. They spend their days in the higher planes of existence just spacing out. What are they really like? Find out in this biography of "Mokey Mokey".
An outcast? The mysterious angel: "Mokey Mokey"[edit]
"Mokey Mokey", who spends all his days ditzing about, is an outcast in the angelic realm. His fellow angels have made a fool of him or generally treat him like an outcast. But "Mokey Mokey" just spaces out, never noticing.
But every once in a while, "Mokey Mokey" gets angry!![edit]
However, even "Mokey Mokey" will occasionally lose his patience and flip out!! If you interrupt him during nap time or eat his favorite snacks, his entire body turns a bright shade of red as he trembles with fury.
 |
| "Mokey Mokey Smackdown" |
On the verge of exploding!? Their bubbling, swollen forms show the terror of their anger.
(He's really, really mad!) |
An outbreak of "Mokey Mokey"!![edit]
A giant outbreak that shakes the heavens! "Mokey Mokey" suddenly appeared in unprecedented numbers! As a result, the heavens themselves were in turmoil. But the "Mokey Mokeys" just spaced out as usual.
 |
| "Human-Wave Tactics" | The heavens are packed with all sorts of "Mokey Mokey". What caused this out-of-this-world anomaly?
(It's a swarm.) |
|
 |
| "Mokey Mokey King" | The "Mokey Mokeys" fuse together into the King. But it doesn't give off a very dignified air.
(Look, there's the King!) |
|
They were made at the factory!?[edit]
Because it lives in the realm of angels, others were convinced that "Mokey Mokey" was just another of the Almighty's creations. But look at the picture we got from a scoop. It's now clear that the "Mokey Mokeys" were actually mass-produced inside a factory!
(The shocking truth!!) |
The 12th OCG Story: A Huge Revolution is Stirring[edit]
The exploiters and the exploited. In many eras, only the powerful have sipped the sweet juices of success, while the commoners have been forced to lick the drops of hardship. But such a dictatorship cannot last forever. The resistance movement, which had been working behind the scenes, finally burst forth, igniting a revolution.
Stand up, my countrymen!! Seize freedom with your own hands![edit]
By order of the fickle king, the taxes rose again. As a result, people find themselves incapable of even living. Many curse their misfortune of having been born in this era.
 |
| "Royal Oppression" |
Whenever a new decree is announced, the people are forced to pay their tribute in terms of taxes. And every time new taxes are added, the burden on the populace increases.
(Such a cruel government...) |
The struggling people suffer[edit]
The king's servants begin their heartless collection. They seize what they can take from the peasantry without mercy. No decent human being would commit such acts of unspeakable cruelty.
 |
| "Toll" | The people were able to come and go until yesterday, when a new travelling tax was added. The world became even worse.
(Life doesn't always go as we want it to...) |
|
 |
| "Confiscation" | "I'll starve to death if you take that!" the peasant frantically cried, though her words fell on deaf ears.
(High taxes...) |
|
The resistance begins to make its move[edit]
Such a government can't last forever. The people finally react, slowly gathering allies and gradually building their power. The day of revolution is quickly coming.
Finally, the Revolution happened!![edit]
The Revolution finally came! Many people joined in the uprising that the Resistance lead. The power of the people grew and grew. Having ousted the king, the people were overjoyed at the beginning of a new era.
