During the Pegasus Duel Monster Tournament held on the island called Duelist Kingdom in Yu-Gi-Oh! Episode 7, Yugi is challenged by a gladiator named Mako, who specializes in strategies based on the marine environment, using mainly water monsters.
When dueling near the sea, Mako receives a bonus of increased strength due to environmental factors. And what makes Mako’s deck even more terrifying is that the monsters he summons are hidden underwater, making them invisible to opponents. As such, Yugi was confronted by Mako and his lurking beasts in a duel.
In this confrontation with Mako, Yugi has faced tough challenges from the very beginning of the match. Yugi doesn’t know which monsters Mako used to fight, as they are all hidden underwater as soon as they hit the field. Even using a strong defense card, Mako’s summoned monster quickly defeated it when it was time to attack, greatly reducing Yugi’s life. This puts Yugi at a disadvantage. But thanks to his quick wits and skills that made him the greatest duelist, Yugi gradually turned the tide throughout the match.
However, it must be admitted that Mako used an extremely effective strategy in her match against Yugi in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Although Yugi managed to come out victorious, it is remarkable that Mako developed a tactic that even Yugi could barely overcome.
