History
Seto Kaiba created this game for the first stage of Death-T, which was designed to kill Yugi Mutou. He hired three professional hitmen to face Yugi, including former green beret commander Johnny Gayle, former swat team leader Bob McGuire and an assassin, whose identity was unknown. The three of them offered a bounty of ¥10,000, for each opponent they killed. A KaibaCorp employee hired Anzu Mazaki as the guide for the game, unaware that she was a friend of Yugi Mutou.[2]
Kaiba armed the hitmen with laser guns capable of shocking their opponents with one million volts, while Yugi was to be given toy guns, which had no effect on the sensors.[1]
When Yugi along with Katsuya Jonouchi, Hiroto Honda and Johji entered the Space Zone of Death-T, they met Anzu to their surprise who explained the rules of the game. Although they were all unaware that Kaiba had rigged it.[2]
Yugi, Jonouchi and Honda went out to play the game. Honda who has some experience with guns takes command and insists that they wait for their opponents to make the first move. Jonouchi cannot bare this kind of sneaky fighting and leaps up on one of the walls. He races along the tops of more walls, until he finds Gayle and kicks him in the face taking him out.[1]
While McGuire and name unknown shoot at Jonouchi, Honda takes advantage of them being distracted and shoots McGuire dead on in his sensor, finding it has no effect. He is also skimmed on the shoulder by an enemy laser, which he notices is more painful than it should be. Honda then pulls his teammates back for a time out.[1]
Honda explains that their guns are useless, while the mercenaries have been given deadly ones and curses Kaiba. Johji, who is a fan of Kaiba doesn't take that well and grabs Anzu's gun to start firing at Honda, Jonouchi and Yugi. In his rage, he accidentally hits a spare vest in the sensor. Honda then realizes that Anzu has been given the same type gun as the mercenaries.[1]
Honda turns down the voltage on Anzu's gun. Promising Johji a bath with Anzu in exchange for his assistance, Honda gets Johji to hide on his back with Anzu's gun. Honda goes back onto the battlefield and fakes a surrender. Johji tosses him the gun and Honda quickly shoots out the two remaining mercenaries. Since the voltage was turned down, the shock didn't kill them.[1]
After the victory, Honda tells Anzu of the promise he made with Johji and begs her to comply, but she refuses.[1]
