“Here it is.” Duke led them over to another door in the room. This one has a key lock on it. “That’s the door. It’s the only one I couldn’t open. Now, we just have to figure out how to open it. All we have is a duel monster card.”

Yami steps over to the door. He examined the duel monster card in his hand before he tried to use the duel monster card as if it were a keycard.

To anyone’s surprise, the door opens. Yami opened the door, and they looked inside.

“It’s pretty dark in there. Anyone who wants to go in first?” Tristan said. He could see something was inside, but it was too dark to tell what it was.

“With our luck, it’s probably another trap.” Joey said, “Anyone who wants to draw straws to-” Kaiba walked past all of them with a small huff, with Mokuba after him. Joey glared after him, but he said completely seriously, “Let’s close the door and run.”

“Joey.” Téa chastised him lightly.

Yami was the second to go inside the room. The rest follow him.

Suddenly, the light turns on.

“What is this place?” “No way!” “Wow.” “This is weird.” “Uh yeah…”

“It’s like we stepped into a toy box. ” Duke said flabbergasted.

At the far end of the room, they saw a sculpture of a Toon World book with a graveyard sticking out of its pages and stairs leading up to what looked like a tea table. Hanging from the ceiling, on the ground, and even stuck to the walls were various versions of toon monsters grinning at them.

“I hate these toons. Let’s make this visit quick. ” Kaiba said with a glare at the grinning Parrot Dragon and Toon Alligator.

The lights turn off, and Pegasus appears in front of the Toon book.

“Yugi-boy. Welcome to my private room. It’s my little dreamland that heals my poor soul. ” Hologram Pegasus greets them. He gestured to the room they stood in. “By the way, if you couldn’t tell, I did all the decoration myself. Pretty impressive, isn’t it?”

“This is why people don’t like him, ” Tristan said under his breath.

“Keep it down, ” Téa whispered to him and pushed him in the chest with an elbow.

Pegasus’ silly demeanor turned more serious. “If you’re hearing this. That can only mean the gentleman who is after me was finally able to capture me. So please, listen closely.”

“This is it, ” Yami said.

Yugi watched Yami play his shadow game. Part of him knew he should stop it, but he didn’t. Because really, the man was still alive and was going to be fine.

Yami was ruthless but not evil. So Yugi said nothing. He did nothing. He just watched,

“You think he will learn anything from that?” he asked.

“Who knows.” Yami said while he climbed down the roof. “is Téa okay?”

“Téa!” Yugi gasped. He was so caught up in the punishment that he forgot about her. He took control the moment Yami touched solid ground, and he ran over to Téa, who was beginning to regain consciousness, “are you okay?”

“Ugh…” Téa said while she rubbed the back of her head. She looked up and saw him, “Yugi!” Yugi got a surprise hug from her, “that was so scary! I couldn’t fight him. he-”

“It’s okay, you’re safe now,” Yugi said, holding her closer. He felt a considerable glee. She hugged him and did not beg for Yami at that moment. Speaking of Yami, he looked towards the Pharaoh, who watched them from the shadows, “You saved her. You did something I couldn’t do.”

“You gave me time to assert the danger,” Yami said dismissively.

“I see,” Yugi said. Something felt off between the two of them. He couldn’t figure out what it was. He decided to ignore Yami and turn his attention back to Téa. “Can you walk? You did bump your head pretty hard.”

“Might need an icepack for that one.” she tried to joke.

“I follow you home.”

“Thanks, Yugi.”

Yami watched them leave. His and Yugi’s eyes met for a second.

And for a second, they were not partners.

 They were each other’s worst enemy.

The stone inside Yugi’s pocket still glowed but not as strong as before.

“Who would do such a thing?” Ryou said, upset.

Before Yugi could answer, they heard glass shatter, Solomon yelling in distress, and things getting thrown to the ground.

They were all up and running out of the living room the moment they heard Solomon yell. Joey and Yugi were the first to get into the shop. It looked like an earthquake had hit the shop, with most of the stuff lying on the floor, but what was distressing the teenager the most was seeing Solomon lying on the floor.

“Grandpa!” Yugi cried and ran over to him with Joey. “are you alright?”

“Hey, what happened, gramps?” Joey crouched down to help Solomon up.

“Yugi… I’m sorry.” Solomon said while he was helped up in a sitting position. Joey brushed the glass away to ensure he didn’t get more hurt. He did note the older man had white gloves on. He only had those on when he handled rare cards, “they’re gone…”

“Solomon!” Rina cried when the commotion also got her attention. She looked shocked around. “What happened here? You kids stay with him, I’ll go for the first aid.”

“He’s alright, Miss Mutou. It’s just the shock of the attack that shook him up.” Joey called after her. He couldn’t see any bruises or cuts on the older man. The attack did happen so fast that not even Joey or the others could react before it was already over.

“I’ll call the police then,” Rina said and left the room.

Yugi turned his attention to his grandfather once again. “Who’s gone, Grandpa? What happened?”

“Your cards, your God cards…” Solomon said and looked guilty down. Joey knew he had begged Yugi to borrow them so he could clean them up , and Yugi only agreed to it because the begging got pretty embarrassing. So that is why he has the gloves on.

“No way!” Yugi gasped in shock.

“They were stolen? who did this?” Joey demanded angrily. Solomon looks down apologetically, and Joey gets up on his feet. “I’ll find ’em!”

“Joey! Wait!” Yugi called after him, but Joey was already out of the shop.

“You won’t get away-!” Joey yelled in pain when a flash of sharp light hit him right in the head. Not one but three motorbikes did it by the sound of it. Joey couldn’t see the bikers because of the sharp light.

“You blokes want those cards back?” one of the bikers said to the far left. He spoke English, but not any English Joey had ever heard before.  

“Yeah.” Joey glared at the punks while the rest of the gang joined him. He was still seeing black spots on his inner eye, but he was more pissed off the thieves were so cheeky to wait on him outside the shop.

“They’re mine!” Yugi yelled while he covered his eyes with his arms. Those bikers must have put their bike’s lights on a high beam, which shows how bright it was.

The punk with the funny English accent laughed at them.

“Well, you need to get past us!” the one to the far right said. They, too, have an accent. “the omen is here. The great beast has arrived.”

“And the light of the Orichalcos will judge the tainted world.” the one in the middle said. He has a deep voice and seems to be the leader of the three. “it’s only fair to warn you. Your lot will be judged for your sins, too.”

“That’s right! We’re Doma’s three Musketeers. And we fight people like you, so what’s it gonna be, mates?!” the one to the left said.

“You don’t scare us!” Joey yelled at them.

“Those Egyptian God cards don’t belong to you!” Yugi retorted, too.  

“Sorry to disappoint you, but they serve a new master now… Nameless Pharaoh,” the guy in the middle said with a threatening tone.

Yugi glares but try not to look too shocked. The rest of the gang couldn’t hide their shock.

He knows about the Pharaoh? How? Who are these guys? Joey thought, shocked. Maybe these idiots have seen the stone tablet and have been stalking Yugi or something? As far as he knows, only the Ishtars, the Shadi people, the gang, and Solomon knew about Yami’s existence.

How could anyone else know about him?!

“We’re offering you a challenge to win back your God cards. Come to the Ombre tower.” the guy in the middle said. He turned his bike, and the person to the right followed him.

The one with the funny accent added cheeky. “The ones which are under construction if ya didn’t know.” before, he, too, turned his bike and flew after the two others, leaving the gang behind.

“Doma’s three Musketeers...” Ryou whispered curiously.

“I guess we have no choice,” Yugi said sternly and ran inside, surely to grab his duel disk.

How Atem’s return in DSOD really went

[fableworld]

what are htwoo's relations with the monsters in the underground and the humans who fall

Been a while since someone took an interest in my (unfinished) Undertale AU. anyway. Htwoo has no direct relation to most of the monsters and humans who are in the Underground. with Htwoo being a human/monster hybrid, it means that their soul can technically be used as a replacement for a full-blood human soul, which is the reason why the Htwoos monster family is hiding them away. only a handful of monsters have seen their face, but that is mainly because these monsters are either family or have more jello than brains.

Htwoo only has some relations with the soul of integrity because she(in my AU) is nice to them, and they evolve some sort of interest with each other. It doesn't end well. But like with the monsters, Htwoo does not interact much with the humans because they are still seen as monsters and, in some human's eyes, a threat.

Htwoo are neutral to monsters and humans(being the boat person and coming with some kinda funny hints); they will help both but will not risk their own necks to save them. The only person Htwoo will rick their own neck for is Wingdi Gaster and their family member(aunt and mother); why Htwoo is helping Wingdi is kinda strange since they do not agree on many things. Htwoo only helps Wingdi because they see him as a kindred spirit, while Wingdi tolerates Htwoo because the boatperson is the eyes and ears of the Underground.

[fableworld]

the three protagonists of the same dimension.

[fableworld]

This is one of the ship names I personally do not think fit to the relationship itself. Personally, I believe hostshipping or tenantshipping would have been better, but that's just me.

There is nothing gentle or affectionate with how Yami Bakura treats Ryou Bakura. he would only treat him 'nice' to get what he wants, nothing else. he would hurt his host to get to his goal. The only reason why he would even bother to save his life/soul is because he likes his little host body for one reason or another. Like tender meat, he easily cut his way through his host's skin and flesh to keep him in place for as long as he needs.

[fableworld]

Depending if you see Dark Magician Girl as sentient or not in the manga/Anime, Téa does like this card because it is Yugi's card and because she is pretty when she is on the stage, but if Dark Magician Girl is sentiant, I do also think she cares for Téa because she is close to her two masters.

(this ship has two names. Either Stageshipping or crystalshipping. I choose the stage for this one. Might make another one with Mana and Téa)

[fableworld]

IF Thief King Bakura came back and he and Ryou could handle being in the same room, this is how I see that going.

I have always seen Bakura as being rude as all heck. he is the guy who will sit on counters or the hood of the car, put his feet on the table, or throw dirty clothing after you just to be rude and get a reaction. With his harsh life, he doesn't give a crap what you think about him. With the Thief King back, Ryou would either help him or be traumatized for life. Personally, I do think he would somehow nurse Bakura back to health but still show him that he is in control from now on. He would either kill Thief King with kindness or play his game against him(being rude back or refusing to let him do anything until he shows some manners). I do like to think like Yugi, Ryou grows stronger. I don't care that much if people ship them. I can see why, but it would be funny if those two get somehow a sibling rivalry going on between them. You know, with a lot of petty revenge, minor insults, or even telling anyone else how insufferable the other is, yet they will help each other if they are in trouble. Thief king is still a Thief, so he would surely steal gemstones or money right in front of Ryou, just to spite him, but with older Ryou having more experience and confidence, he would be able to bring it back to the right over or least to the police, with minor complains from Bakura.

Once again. This is just how I see them.

[fableworld]

I headcanon hard that it was Joey who dragged Duke into the friend group after he tried to snare the friend group into his family's rivalry with Yugi's family. If a former bully and gang member, Joey, gets a second chance, then Duke could also get a second chance.

I do think Duke and Joey turned out to be very good friends; they have a lot of the same personality and mischievous behavior. I love to think about those two pulling those stupid prank wars on each other, and it would differ who is winning. Duke is known to have a sharp/silver tongue, and Joey is known to be a bit of a class clown. He is stronger than Duke, so he can drag him around. I think they are pretty equal in their games against each other.

[fableworld]

So this one is a bit harder to explain since Yami and Serenity/Shizuka have never interacted with each other other than her watching him

Their relationship with each other all depends on whether you headcanon that Serenity is aware of Yami or not. After all, he is always hiding in Yugi's shadows and watching her from a distance in the manga and anime. It is up to comic/story writers if those ever get the chance to get to know each other.

He took his school bag and waved to his small family.

“Mom. Grandpa, I’m going. See you later.” he ran out of the shop door as he usually did and was just about to think about if he was going to take the bus or run to school when he, by accident, bumped into someone’s back. “I’m sorry,” he quickly apologized since he really hadn’t seen them before it was too late.

“No, I…” the other teenager said and turned around and stared at Yugi. He seemed to be around the same age as Yugi, maybe a bit older. He has two shades of brown in his short, messy hair and kind brown eyes. Like Yugi, he wore a school uniform, but it was red with white and black embroidery on it. “You’re Yugi!”

Yugi blinked, surprised. “You know me?” he kept forgetting he was famous now.

The other teenager nodded wide-eyed. “The ultimate duelist, waiting for me…” Yugi made a confused noise when the other teenager mumbled, “Can it be?” he checked his pocket fis, hung up a card, and looked at it. “I got this card from you. It led me to you,” he showed Yugi the card.

Yugi looked at it and frowned, confused. “I gave that card to you? Winged Kuriboh?” Yugi tried to recall if he ever owed a Winged Kuriboh. Still, he had only owned a Kuriboh without wings and was a dark attribute monster. The other teenager wasn’t recognizable to him either. This was the first time he had ever seen him. Yugi pulls out his own Kuriboh card. “It looks a lot like Kuriboh. But I don’t remember giving it to you.”

 The other teenager didn’t seem to mind that fact. Apparently, he knew something Yugi didn’t. Yugi suddenly remembered his odd dream, and he couldn’t help but smile at the coincidence. “Have you come here to duel me?” the other teenager looked surprised at him, and Yugi explained, “Last night, I had a dream. Kuriboh spoke to me during my dream. He normally doesn’t do that, but this time, he said a duelist would come to me and that I had to fight that duelist. Are you that duelist?”

The other teenager blinked once, and then his whole face cracked into an excited grin. “Absolutely, Yugi!” He bowed, which Yugi was a little surprised about, but said nothing about it.

“Come with me, I know a perfect place for us to duel.” Yugi smiled and waved the other teenager with him. “I don’t think I ever got your name.”

“Oh, right! I forgot to introduce myself.” he grinned, embarrassed, with his arm behind the back of his neck, “My name is Jaiden Yuki.”

“Nice to meet you, Jaiden.”

Téa walked quietly beside Yugi. The silence was deafening between them, but every time she tried to think about something to say, it disappeared before she could voice it.

She didn’t know what to say, really. It seems like Yugi was in the same boat as her.

They quietly followed Gekko Tenma, who was leading them through the building.

“Yako and I were orphans. Master Pegasus was kind enough to adopt us unofficially. He found us here in Japan during one of his travels. He trained us to be brilliant duelists and card designers. Now that I look back, I wonder if Master Pegasus was training us to be his successor since he had no children of his own. “he led them over to some excavators, and he stepped on the only one working. Yugi followed him with Téa slightly floating beside him “before Master Pegasus was… almost killed, Yako was gently and quiet. People tended to see him as weak. But when Master Pegasus was found more dead than alive, he shut himself up in his room and threw himself into a… disturbing area of research.”

“A disturbing area of research?” Yugi asked. It was the first word he had said for over 15 minutes.

Gekko looks back at him over his shoulder. “The mystic science system. Powers that have no purpose being forgotten by mankind.” he looks away. “in the course of his research, Yako created cards from data master Pegasus had left behind. Cards of immeasurable strength were granted power equal to that of the Egyptian god cards and cursed as a result. Cards of ill omen, filled with evil intent… Master Pegasus had misgivings about them. The cards had no names. Yako named them the ¨Jashin¨… the Evil Gods. “

Tèa and Yugi freeze, which Gekko might not have felt since he had continued.

“The curse of the evil gods damaged my brother’s already fragile psyche… and now he’s devoted himself to this wicked project. A project to produce master Pegasus’s avatar using Téa Gardner’s soul as a trade for his soul. The ¨rebirth of Avatar¨ project. He was giving an object with Master Pegasu’s soul inside, but with no way of reversing the transfer; he meant it was possible to use another soul as a trade. The body will be used as a repair tool for any internal damage his body has gotten over the trauma we found him with… it is not a pretty sight...” Téa suddenly felt sick and cold, so she hugged her arms. Yugi looked concerned at her. Gekko stepped up the excavator and looks back at them “still, as long as Miss Gardner soul still exists, we should be able to return her back to normal, but we don’t have much time to spare.”

Téa and Yugi take a sigh of relief simultaneously.

“Wait a minute! Why does Téa have to be the trade?” Yugi asked,

Gekko hesitated uncomfortably long. He turns his face away from them. “According to Yako, the tribute must fulfill three conditions. First, they must be physically and mentally healthy. Second, they must not be a warrior at heart. Or duelist in your case.” Both Téa slightly protested, and Gekko stopped with a gently raised hand and explained, “High-ranking duelists have a fighting instinct. They are too strong as a tribute because they will fight the procedure. I do not say Miss Gardner is not a fighter, but if you got the choice, would you pick a sword up instead of using your words?” Téa bit her lips. They all knew she would rather speak her way out of trouble. She has power through her words, and it has worked a lot of the time. So no, she wouldn’t pick up a sword if she could avoid it.

Gekko nodded and said, “And finally...it must be someone whose death will inflict pain on Yugi Mutou.” Téa and Yugi looked shocked at him and then at each other. Gekko was looking at her. “and that, Miss Gardner, is why you were chosen. There were others in your friend group who fit the first two points, but we both know why you will inflict the most pain.”

Téa lowers her head. She felt sick that Yako was using her to hurt Yugi. It’s because I’ve known him the longest… it’s because I love him… “But why…” she raised her head. She grew angry just by thinking about it. “Why does your brother want revenge on Yugi? It isn’t Yugi’s fault that Pegasus’ soul was taken from him, and you know it!”

Gekko hesitated again. “Someone came to Yako… he informed him that he had witnessed a certain incident in the castle at the Duelist Kingdom. ” he looked hard at them. Téa would call it accurately: “he said he had seen Yugi Mutou take master Pegasus’s Millennium eye and kill him.”

“Th-that can’t be… ” Téa said, shocked. There was no way that was true. Yugi was with the rest of the gang all the time.

“Who… who said that?! ” Yugi demanded to know.

“One of the finalists in the duelist Kingdom tournament… Keith Howard. ” Gekko said.

“What’s up with that?” Téa asked, curious. It was after school, and students were walking out of the school grounds to either go home or spend time with their friends. She noted there was a lot more running and loud talking about something than usual. She didn’t catch what it was about.

“What? People running out of school? Pretty normal if you ask me. ” Joey said. He was leaning up against some lockers while waiting for the rest of them to get their shoes on. They were going to Yugi’s place to do some homework together. Maybe also playing that video game Yugi has talked about lately with Joey.

Tristan looked at yet another runner with narrowed eyes and crossed arms. “No, something is up. I can feel it.”

“The only feeling you’re feeling is the change of seasons. ” Duke piped up while he closed his locker.

“It is getting kinda chilly. ” Ryou hummed and looked outside, where they all could see the leaves had begun to change color. It wouldn’t be long before they fell off the trees.

With all of them having their shoes on, they left the school. Before they could speak about something else, three more runners came past them. Téa and Yugi stop up, which makes the rest of the gang stop, too. They looked after the people and saw a large group blocking the gate out of the school grounds.

“Hm. wonder what all the commotion is about, ” Téa asked while she looked at the groub. She wondered why they just didn’t leave.

“Don’t know. But I haven’t seen this many people running from school since they served meatloaf surprise last year. ” Joey joked, and he began walking towards the group.

“Ugh, don’t remind me. ” Téa nearly gagged.

“Hey, don’t dis an American dish, you guys, ” Duke said in an almost offended tone.

“It originates from German, ” Ryou said. Duke groaned at the white-haired teenager’s correction, which Ryou ignored, and he pouted, “And I like meatloaf...”

“Not when they are made at school, you don’t, ” Joey said.

“Why are people not moving? ” Duke asked when they came over to the group. He walked around them to see if he could see what was going on.

Joey, Tristan, Ryou, and Téa looked over the group to see what was going on.

“What in the…?” Joey said

“Huh? ” Ryou said.

Téa blinked, confused. There was a bunch of people of all ages on the other side of the school's entrance. The Domino students didn’t move away because some of those people didn’t look like a nice bunch.

“Let me see, ” Yugi said behind her. He was jumping up and down to see over the other’s shoulders.

“Wonder who these guys are all waiting for? ” Joey asked

Téa shrugged, and Ryou made an “I don’t know ” noise.

Yugi grew tired of not seeing what the others did and pushed past Joey and Ryou. Téa stepped away to give him space. Yugi managed to push himself in front of the crowd to look around.

“It’s him! ” the biggest and meanest-looking of the other group yelled and pointed at Yugi. He also seemed to be one of the oldest, with a black jacket over his muscular body and sunglasses to hide his eyes. Yugi froze when he realized the buff man was pointing at him.

“Told you he’s a lot smaller than on TV!”

Then, all hell broke loose. The waiting group ran over to Domino students and barreled into them like two oceans meeting each other.

“Me first. Let me at him!” “Hey! Stop pushing!” “Please just give me one shot at those God Cards!” “Get them away; they are crushing me!” “Get out of my way! If anyone gets the God Cards, it’s me!” “Go away. You are stepping on my foot!” Yelling on both sides was deafening, and Téa felt like a sardine in a can. Students and people from outside the school are piling on each other. Yelling, pushing, and more people coming to see what was going on on both sides made it impossible to move or even breathe.

“What is all of this?!” Duke yelled from somewhere to the left.

“Guys, get out of there!” Ryou yelled. Téa heard him yelp in pain, and she hoped he didn’t get too hurt in this mindless scuffle.

“Help me!” Yugi yelled while people from both sides crushed him. Joey and Tristan are trying to push people away from Yugi, but it is a losing battle with all the pushing and shoving.

Téa grabbed Yugi and pulled him down to the ground where there was more breathing room. They still have to be careful of not being stepped on or getting a knee in the jaw. “What's going on with these guys?!” Téa yelled over the yelling.

“Life on the top, Téa. Everyone knows Yugi is the best duelist around. So they all want a piece of him and those God Cards.” Tristan told her stained while he kept pushing people away from Yugi. It was like a tidal wave of bodies.

“Téa, try to sneak Yugi around the back while we hold them off,” Joey tells her over his shoulder. He seems ready to deck someone.

“You're sure?” Téa asked.

“Yeah, Tristan and I will handle things here.” Joey smirk

“Thanks, Joey.” Yugi smiled, relieved.

“You can thank him later. Let's go, Yugi.” Téa said sternly and grabbed him by his school back and dragged him out of the crowd backways. It was the easier route. She gets up and pulls Yugi with her until he is able to turn around and run beside her. They quickly ran past Duke, who kept an opening for them so they could leave the school grounds and hide nearby.

Does anyone know if these monsters have an actual name? I know Exodia(who doesn't?), Magician of Illusion, and Spiria. The rest, I don't, and I don't know how to find out if they are based on Yugioh cards or not. I am trying to make a fic about the Millennium world arch, but I would like to know if they have official names before I give them some names.

Seto and Yugi are cousins headcanon

I have seen this headcanon flowing around, and I wanted to share my thoughts about it. I do think this headcanon is possible, and I like it since it reflects/mirrors what happened in the past. I just find it interesting what you could play around with if Seto ever realizes he is related to his rival. Some interesting concepts can be pulled out of it. I have made some bullet points with what I could think of to make this headcanon possible. Forgive me if it is a bit rambling, or the Gramma is all over the place. Mama Mutou is the biological daughter of Sugoroku/Solomon. - This will create some family drama already. That means that Grandpa was aware of Seto and Mokuba, OR he had a fallout with another daughter of his(have to be another daughter due to the last name change. can't make it too easy for Seto and Mokuba, now can we?). But how did this fallout happen? Married the wrong guy? Did she run away with said guy? or is Grandpa not a good father? Something to think about.

Mama Mutou has a sister. - This means that she is the one married into the Mutou family. It also means that the Mutou family will not interact a lot with her side of the family if she has beef with her family. Mama Mutou's family is unknown. It is possible for her to have a sister or a brother who married Seto and Mokuba's mother/father. With Mama Mutou changing her name when she married Father Mutou, there is already a change there, which makes it a bit harder to realize that Yugi and Seto are cousins. It would be easy to make Mama Mutou have a bad relationship with her family, and she has possibly never met Seto when he was young, so that is the reason why it was never mentioned.

However, it has been mentioned multiple times that Seto and Mokuba's relatives were nasty. They took everything away from them and threw them into an orphanage. That could make Mama Mutou one of those nasty people, or, as I mentioned before, she stayed far away from her family because they were not good people. She might not even have known her sister/brother had kids because she had no contact with them. No contact would happen if Mama Mutou is either younger or older than one of Seto's parents. Most likely, Mama Mutou was the baby and simply didn't know how to contact her older sibling when she also bailed from her parent's house. When the age difference is too great, it is harder for siblings to connect with each other, so this is also a possibility. Mama Mutou does need to stay in very low contact with her sibling to ensure she is not aware of what happened to Seto and Mokuba. If she did have a great relationship with her (older?) siblings, she would have tried to take Seto and Mokuba with her or at least visited them. The contact with her family has to be limited to make this happen.

Father Mutou himself. - He is going to be his category for reasons. If he was biologically related to Grandpa, that meant pretty much the same drama as I mentioned in Mama Mutou being related to the Mutou family. That Grandpa had a bad relationship with his daughter for one reason or another. With Father Mutou never being seen, it is possible that he died(or he is just an absent father?) in the same accident as his sister since it was never mentioned how the Kaiba brother's mom died, just that she died first. But then again, Grandpa should be aware of Seto and Mokuba. Either way, it makes Grandpa not shine in the best light.

Making Father Mutou not related to Grandpa is a whole other can of worms because Yugi and Sugoroku/Solomon share a last name. This could be done out of laziness, but I highly doubt that(look at Joey/Katsuya Jonouchi and Serenity/Shizuka Kawai; they do not share last names in the Japanese version). So Father Mutou pretty much has to be related to Grandpa in my eyes to ensure Yugi and Grandpa share the last name.

Sugoroku/Solomon have a secret child. - This one will not surprise me either. We see that Grandpa was pretty smooth, confident, and nicely dressed in his younger years. He can have a child(gender doesn't matter in this case), which he didn't know about. The child will not have his last name, and this is the time before the DNA kit so that they wouldn't have found each other either. This does make Yugi and Seto Half-cousin, but they will still be related, and being a child from a summer fling/one-night stand will be the reason why Grandpa is not a way of his second child exciting, and Seto and Mokuba are related to him. Grandpa could also have been cheating, but that is more how much you want Grandpa to be a scumbag in his younger years.

Unknown grandma had a second child. - This one is more out there. We only know very little of her besides how Grandpa asked her out(with a puzzle with words written on it. mentioned in the manga), so it might be possible she had a child from a former marriage, but here come some problems again. Grandpa should be aware of this child and potential grandchildren. The only way this could work is if the son/daughter of his wife hated Sugoroku/Solomon with a passion and didn't want anything to do with him. This could explain why Grandpa didn't reach out to them after his wife's death and the nasty family Seto and Mokuba had to deal with. The problem with this is that Seto and Yugi will once again be half-cousins, but I don't think that matters in the long run.

Feel free to tell me more ideas in the comments.
