He explained that they were about to take part on a ride, where they must not scream or they would be electrocuted. He too took part in the game, running the risk of being electrocuted.

Impressed that they managed to avoid screaming, he moved onto the next phase. Mechanical hands came out of the chairs and started to feel and grope the players. Johji worried that Anzu was going to scream, so he got down from her lap and went back to the butler, where he defecated on his lap. Once the butler realized what happened, he screamed out loud and was electrocuted.<ref name="d 30" /> {{clear}} ==First series anime biography==[[File:Daimon.jpg|thumb|left|First series]]Daimon was one of [[Seto Kaiba (first series anime)|Kaiba]]'s [[The Four Game Masters|Game Masters]].
