Differences in adaptations
In the Japanese version, Kenzan's quest to collect 100 Duel Disks is meant to draw parallels to the legend of Benkei, who would collect the weapons of those he defeated at a bridge. He is defeated by his one-thousandth opponent, Minamoto Yoshitsune. Similarly, Kenzan is defeated by his one-hundredth opponent, Judai.
