Yeah, I will be trying to spend as much time as I can to finish this project as soon as I can movember_40x40.gif
while trying to create my own job worry_40x40.gif, because the money I have save up won't last forever 😒... so it's more or less jungle around with these.
But what matters is that now I have more time to focus on this...
The episodic arcs will still remain focused for awhile before Shadi's Arc, because I noticed that there is still a lot to work on, this post is about around chapter 5-7.

Plot Summary:

Chapter 5 - False Prophet
It starts with Jounouchi and Yugi going to school together talking about the start of the day and discussing regarding their luck, Jounouchi comments that he has been unlucky recently.
They arrive to their class, there is a lot of buzz about a "psychic" named Kokurano who can predict the future at school from class A of the same year grade, Jounouchi wants to have his fortune told since he believes he has been unlucky...dragging Yugi and Anzu to come along, however when they arrive to his class, there is even more buzz with lots of girls from other classes and year grades to get their fortune told and and small seismic happens and...Jounouchi feeling embarrassed being mostly girls asking for their fortune, Jounouchi bluffs by putting on Anzu who wants her fortune told, Kokurano attempts to "show" he knew Jounouchi was the one who wanted to get his fortune told (Jounouchi is pretty loud, they are class B, so Kokurano it's next door class, anyone could listen very well) and takes a paper from his jacket saying there would be an earthquake based on the small seimic happened a awhile ago he predicted, so Kokurano offers himself to read Anzu's future, through fondling Anzu's hand,Kokurano gives his "love related prediction" while Kokurano is with a plan in his head, then Jounouchi comes, Kokurano quickly discards him saying Jounouchi's bad luck is written all over his face, then Kokurano asks Yugi if he wants his fortune told, Yugi reveals his own suspicions on Kokurano about his "future reading", Kokurano feels "triggered" and makes "calamity prediction" to Yugi. Jounouchi and Anzu are concerned about Yugi, Yugi eases them that he doesn't believe in Kokurano but sees more as a puzzle and hears some strange rumours about Kokurano prediction.
Kokurano sets up a "trap" to harm Yugi in the library, Yugi realizes on time and dodges a grave injury with Dark Yugi taking over, Kokurano enters to Yugi's class with Anzu alone waiting for Yugi, Kourano makes another "love prediction" and uses chloroform to make her unconscious..., Dark Yugi challenges Kokurano to a game, Anzu recognizes the confident man voice and tries to stay awake but to no avail, the game starts, Dark Yugi wins and recovers Anzu.

Key Points:

Chapter 5 - False Prophet

This exchange between Yugi and Jounouchi is very interesting and funny, because they have different perception of what being lucky is and their standards when comes to luck, it does reveal a bit about themselves and life regarding luck and maybe self-esteem...for example how Jounouchi explains how he got the injury in his face from a fight with some delinquents, they were 4 and he got one punch from one of them, which I have to say is very impressive, this more or less shows Jounouchi is very skilled and talented in fighting, but here is the thing, Jounouchi thinks he has been having very bad luck lately for getting hit once in this fight, while Yugi thinks inside inner monologue that "against four guys and getting hit once is lucky", this means for Jounouchi usually doesn't get hit once, while Yugi seems to really have bad luck from what kind of trouble he attracts...Ushio, Director tv, Sozouji, the criminal fugitive picked Yugi to hand him vodka and cigarettes, when we look at it, Yugi has really bad luck in daily life wise, if it weren't for the millennium pendant/puzzle with Dark Yugi taking over with some shadow powers to solve the problems of his bad luck...which is to show where Yugi succeeds is more or less pure raw natural skill and talent...
Then comes something very heavy that almost hits Jounouchi, Jounouchi yells "more bad luck" while Yugi thinks in inner monologue "that was close...", it's very funny 😂.
