Description

Mako Tsunami participates in many tournaments so that he can use the prize money to buy a fishing boat and sail the mighty waves. He masterfully used his Sea Deck to give Yugi and Joey some of the toughest Duels ever. His signature monster "The Legendary Fisherman" unleashes its true strength when it swims out into his "Umi" field.

Biography

Immediately after the player claims the reward for Mako Tsunami's appropriate Character Unlock Mission, they will encounter Mako for the first time. He will give an exclamation of surprise upon seeing his surroundings, before declaring that this is splendid since he can see a whole school of prey. He briefly laughs, predicting that he'll bring in "a haul of a lifetime," but then turns serious, saying that Duelists should now prepare to feel the full fury of the open waters.

Until the player defeats Mako for the first time, whenever they challenge Mako to a Duel, he will be surprised and incredulously ask the player if they are actually serious in wanting to Duel him. He then laughs, before remarking that it seems a big fish has wandered into his waters. Mako then accepts the player's challenge, saying that he never turns down a Duel, but further warns the player that they've made a huge mistake by "swimming into [his] net." He concludes his dialogue by telling the player, "Prepare to sleep with the fishes!"

Upon Mako's first defeat, he gives a brief exclamation of frustration and admits the player won. He goes on to compliment the player, saying that they're as impressive as a shark among guppies. However, he also declares that this defeat won't stop him from owning his own boat and sailing the ocean, and promises that until he "casts off" again, he will never give up.

After the player redeems their final unclaimed reward for Mako Tsunami's Character Unlock Missions, they will encounter Mako again, who explains that since he can't head out into the sea until he has his own fishing boat, this is the reason why he'll become the number one Duelist, as the prestige from that position will allow him to acquire his ship. He goes on to declare that he and the ocean await each other, and that he is looking forward to facing everything that the waters have in store for him. However, he also declares he won't be traveling alone - he'll be sailing with his "The Legendary Fisherman" card, which he has won countless Duels together with, and will continue to keep winning with.
