I was out in Maiami City running a few errands for mom when I came across a newspaper with this headline.

*[Attached is a photo of a newspaper: The headline reads 'Yushou Sakaki: A Washed Up Duelist']*

It's some kind of smear article on dad, claiming crazy things like how he knew he was 'washed up', how his dueling hadn't been up to par in his recent duels before the accident and claiming his leg injury wasn't as bad as it was, even claiming the accident was on 'purpose' to go out with some kind of 'blaze of glory' because he 'knew' he was going to lose to his opponent!
They even go on to claim it's the end of 'Entertainment Dueling'! Not even mentioning me, or Yuzu or You Show Duel School who can keep it going!

It's ridiculous! Who even writes this stuff?!
And why do people always assume the worst of dad when something happens?

This comes only a day after dad had a check up on his leg. It's healing, but not as fast as they'd hoped, so he still has to rest it for at least another month before they consider it safe for him to start physiotherapy on it and even then it's still up in the air if he'll be able to go back to doing Action Dueling or not.

I dunno, I guess I just had to vent about this somewhere. I really thought the media had left us alone like we asked and then someone just writes... this!

Newspaper writers.

Because it generates clicks and ad revenue and makes money.

Or the newspaper owner doesn't like your Dad.

Uggh... People like to write stuff like this all the time, but it doesn't change the facts of anything, does it?

I mean, I'm mad too, but them believing all of that doesn't make it true, bro.

You should just ignore it, Yuya.

Serena is right. It's just something they've written simply to make people buy the paper.
It doesn't mean anything.

Talk about frustrating! I'd go and give whoever wrote that stuff a piece of my mind, but that's probably what they want so they have more to try and "spin a story" about!
