Changes

Go is shown to have a big ego and pride for being a popular [[Charisma Duelist]] and was angered when Playmaker was stealing his spotlight. He seems to have a soft for children as he often volunteers and donates to them at the orphanage where he grew up. He repeatedly makes it clear that he doesn't Duel for money, as he donates most of it and lives in a rather small [[Go Onizuka's warehouse|warehouse]]. According to his manager, Go priotizes prioritizes the audience's entertainment over winning Duels immediately.

When Go visited [[Den City's orphanage|his old orphanage]], the children was were engrossed in videos of Playmaker, paying no attention that Go visited. Shocked by this, Go accepted Akira's offer and drew Playmaker out with a Knight of Hanoi disguise. After revealing who he really arewas, Go challenged Playmaker to a Duel, declaring that the true hero of LINK VRAINS, would unmask Playmaker. When [[SOL Technology]] used a program to trap them and prevent Playmaker from logging out, Go then announced that Playmaker could only leave by defeating him. Upon being questioned of who hired him, Go replied that he wasn't telling that to a hacker and said his purpose here is to show that he is the stronger Duelist. The two began their Duel, with Go [[Normal Summon]]ing "[[Gouki Suprex (anime)|Gouki Suprex]]" and with its effect, [[Special Summon]] "[[Gouki Twistcobra (anime)|Gouki Twistcobra]]", ending his turn. As Playmaker brought out two monsters of his own, Go was amused and compared the current situation to a pro-wrestling tag match, declaring that he would win by the count of 3. He then lost half his [[LP]] by "[[Linkslayer (anime)|Linkslayer]]", helped by "[[Cyberse Wizard (anime)|Cyberse Wizard]]'s" effect, and is was brought to his knees. Go got up before the count of three, staying true to his [[Charisma Duelist|charisma style]] of deliberating putting himself in danger to heighten his audience's emotions. He then adds "[[Gouki Riscorpio (anime)|Gouki Riscorpio]]" with "Suprex's" effect. He then activate activated his [[Skill]], "Fighting Spirit" to bring back "Suprex" and [[Link Summon]] "[[Gouki The Great Ogre (anime)|Gouki The Great Ogre]]". After increasing "Great Ogre's" [[ATK]], Go was confident it was enough to defeat Playmaker, declaring that it would be his finisher.<ref name="ep4">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|4|ref}}</ref>

As Go moved in for the final blow, Playmaker activated a trap that leaves left him with 100 life points left. He then smiled when Playmaker stayed to finish the duel despite having an escape route available. When Playmaker Link Summons Summoned [[Link Spider (anime)|Link Spider]], he Go called it a weakling due to its low attack, however, he became annoyed when he realised realized that Playmaker took his attacks deliberately to satisfy the condition for Playmaker's Skill, calling Playmaker a copycat of his charisma style. He was then shocked when Playmaker performs performed multiple Link Summons to bring out 3 [[Link Monster|Link monsters]]. When Playmaker asked his [[Decode Talker (anime)|Decode Talker]] to attack, Go questioned the use of attacking with a monster with lower attack, but when both his Great Ogre and Decode Talker are were tied in attack, he tried to save Great Ogre with its effect. However, by the third attack, Great Ogre ran out of linked monsters for its effect and is destroyed by Decode Talker, costing Go the duel. As he gets got up, he laughed, having enjoyed the duel with Playmaker. When he logged out, he stumbled, feeling the fatigue from the duel. He was surprised and moved to see the children waiting and clapping for him despite his loss. He then held up his champion belt and roared, and had fun with the children, with a big grin on his face.<ref name="ep5">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|5|ref}}</ref>
