Kaiba: Well then, that was quite the last duel. Now up next before our main event is THE Duel I have been waiting for

Joey: Oh stop gushing Seto! 

Jack: AK v. Cobalt

Kaiba: Of course, Obelisk against the Blue Eyes White Dragon. It's not as if we're seeing the Winged Dragon of Ra burn Red Eyes for the nth time

Joey: Now hey!

Jack: Announcer, if yo may?

Announcer: Our next duel is about to begin, first...

https://youtu.be/gNrNwrVn0xQ

Announcer: First competitor, AK (Rank 9, 2-2)

Kaiba: The pride of Kaiba corporation. The successor!

Jack: We get it, but he is middling

Joey: Not for long because Kaiba did mention he has reinforcements added in that deck of his

Kaiba: An update so to speak

https://youtu.be/kMxTT__-wd4

Announcer: And his opopnent, Cobalt!

Jack: Tonight has not been a good night for this Triad of Terror. Losses from Crimson and even Vade, now will the same hold for Cobalt?

Kaiba: Cobalt holds himself as the more capable of the three but Vade just had a bad hand. He needs this win, hard to say due to who he's against for momentum because tomorrow at the memorial show, he will be in a tag duel 1st rounder with Crimson.
