In the world of duel monsters, the world is built around the cards. With all the cars and bikes made to be able to duel while on the road, even the police cards can only shut off the vehicles they’re chasing only if they’re able to beat the person in a duel. And then all the people driving while dueling suddenly end up crashing. The roads didn’t just keep on going in a straight line, the roads weren’t all empty of other vehicles.

All across the many worlds from the classic to the latest version of the duel monsters worlds, everything was falling apart around anything to do with duel monsters. People just treated it as a fad which hit its peak and is now dying out. People who spent just about everything they had in building up decks found fewer and fewer people to play against and even then people weren't into it anymore. The schools that were made to teach people to play cards soon found their schools running out of students as younger kids got into things like videogames then card games. Soon the entire culture of duel monsters became nothing more then just another subculture like D&D or Warhammer players. It has fans and people who play time to time but it was no longer serious business anymore. With some places and companies that were built all around the card game no longer brought in the money it once was. (1)

"So it all just fell apart once the bullshit reason why a card game could become a way of life," Sunset said.

"Yup," Trixie said remembering how she went and dominated many game centered worlds. 

"And here's one where Rick hit it earlier before that rich jerk took over the other rich jerk's company. The fad for the game died down to the point where it's just another game for people. Like how the beanie babies fad died," Twilight said.

"And the whole plot line of duel monsters being the way of life just becoming another game. Ends with with Yugi still going on an adventure but no longer centered around duel monsters but those rare times the action takes place in one of those places that still have those duel holograms machines," Kasumi said. 

"Like those places that still have laser tag," Naruto said. 

"Yup you really have to look for it," Sunset said. 

"Rick also hit many horror movie worlds and unless the action takes place somewhere isolated. Many of the stuff that happens in horror movies that allows things to happen like the cellphone not working doesn't work. As by law all phone companies must pick up any 911 calls even if the person calling isn't covered," Twilight said. (2)

"And people aren't too dumb to live," Naruto adds. 

"Yup," Twilight said switching to show some western cartoon worlds. 

"And people keep on believing the one who keeps coming up with plans that end up with them trying to ruin someone's life. Suddenly find that people aren't just going to forget about it and fall for the same trick in a week. Or that people will just forget all the destruction and deaths," Sunset said watching as Peter Griffin was lynch by an angry mob. 

"So how is our old world doing?" Trixie ask. 

"We already seen my world," Naruto said. He enjoyed seeing the entire culture built around ninjas fall apart. And the ruins of the Leaf village after people discovered why chakra disappeared and who to blame. 

"My world is pretty much the same," Kasumi said. 

"Here we go," Twilight said showing what's been happening in her old world. 

"Wow I didn't think it be that bad," Sunset said watching as the royal guards are actually doing some fighting against an army of ponies all wearing evil looking helmets. 

"Who's the evil pony with the crystals?" Trixie ask. 

"It's King Sombra," Twilight said. 

"So we go save them?" Naruto ask. 

"Might as well," Sunset said wondering how much has change since they left that world behind.
