Yu-Gi-Oh! Verse Headcanons/Ideas (Battle City Arc)

During Battle City, I imagine the Buddy Police are all over the city for two main reasons. The first is due to intelligence they've gathered regarding that the 'Ghouls' / 'Rare Hunters', notorious card criminals they've been trying to apprehend for a while now, have infiltrated the tournament. The second is because specifically that Seto Kaiba is running the tournament. Considering the Death-T incident, they've had their eye on his activity, especially Tasuku due to being Mokuba's friend. They want to make sure that the tournament is going to be safe and would be prepared to shut it down if needed.

Ghouls / Rare Hunters would probably go after him because even though it's not Duel Monsters, Jack is a one-of-a-kind Buddy Rare card that would fetch a high price. Not to mention I imagine the Buddy Police (since they've become a more international organization by this point), is a thorn in the sides of them they'd want to get rid of.

I imagine right after the Yugi v Jonouchi duel, if Tasuku was a witness, he'd try to shut down the tournament right then and there. In his eyes, the tournament would be too unsafe to continue until the criminals are arrested properly, which we know Seto would not like due to the fact if Marik / Malik was arrested, then he would never get his hands on Ra.

I like to think Ishizu / Isis or Yugi & Atem would be the only ones to get Tausku to let the tournament continue, since he is unaware of the true context of what needs to happen (For the plot and personal character-wise). He'd be hesitant to allow it, but I could see Jack, while in agreement with Tasuku, would say in his ancient wisdom that there are some things that just need to happen.

Tasuku would check up on Mokuba throughout the tournament (So would Gao too for that matter), and I could see them getting into a confrontation with the Ghouls / Rare Hunters (perhaps when Mokuba is sent to find Jonouchi, since in the manga he was not kidnapped like in the anime) where Tasuku perhaps reveals his Future Force to both Gao and Mokuba for the first time. I could also see it being revealed if he got to the Yugi V Jonouchi duel and was involved in stopping it (whether it's by him freeing Mokuba instead of Seto throwing his Blue Eyes or by helping to rescue Yugi or Jonouchi following being drowned).

He'd probably be a witness to the tournament finals, whether it's by being allowed to stay and watch (Perhaps Mokuba asks his brother if he can) or he follows them in secret using Jack's Buddy Skill and tracking Mokuba's Cell Phone.

He'd scold Seto for blowing up Alcatraz, not only because of the risk involved, but also because it was, in his mind, not necessary.

Following the tournament, he would make sure the Ghouls / Rare Hunters are disbanded for good and use any information from Marik / Malik to stop any other crime organizations they may be associated with.
