Hahahaha! Everyone thinks he cheats. No, I've got a perfect setup for the rest of this Duel for him that's going to surprise the pants right off of you. All with reasonable explanation behind why he's suddenly playing defensive: He gets assigned to the most vile place in New Domino, familiar with the way people act around there, and simply acts on what he knows: people give crap for the law there, and therefore, people will use illegal cards. For that reason, Valin came up with EVERYTHING he had to counter that kind of bull crap on his ride out there.

He may be taking a beating now, but you'll see what happens, and you won't believe it. It looks like he's about to lose this turn; he won't. It looks like his loss is inevitable; it isn't. He's the King of Games for a purpose, and that, he will flaunt before everyone's faces given a couple of turns down the road. I'll be editing the last bit of that Duel and jumping to Madison for my next post, whenever I decide to do that.

That, and Valin's a lot more naturally precautionary than you'd think. More like Kite than Jack or Zane or Kaiba. Basically he can stop everything, warp everything, and/or destroy everything.
