" Katsuya Jōnouchi: If I take that card [the Red-Eyes Black Dragon]...I feel like I'll just get farther from being the true duelist I'm trying to become. That Red-Eyes Black Dragon means more to me than any card in the world. It's been my fighting partner for ages! But I've leaned on it for too long! If I accept that card, I won't grow as a fighter! Not just that...The way I am right now...the card won't want me to have it! "
