Karasuma Yasushi is hard to tame, unconventional in everything he does, and so proud of his talent that he looks down on others.
With his calamity-class ability, [Real Game], he is practically unstoppable!
And yet, in three locations and three games, he loses to the same person in the field where he excels, three times in a row!
And they only competed three times!!!
First: Blurred Boundaries × Bungo Stray Dogs
The boundary between the living and the dead grows infinitely hazy, and souls from the past quietly return. The line between emotion and reason slowly fades, and the invisible scales gradually tip. The sun and moon hang together high in the sky, while the stars turn into shooting stars at dusk...
The young man who was found strolls beneath the gaze of everyone present, smiling as he takes out a deck of cards.
"We'll each compare cards. The winner gets to fulfill a cherished wish."
Karasuma Yasushi: Who was that? I'll remember him.
Second: Yin and Yang Reversed × Detective Conan
The noble and the lowborn switch places, bringing chaos or perhaps a chance for change. The forces of justice and evil trade sides, and the truth has only one chance to emerge. Death, long asleep, awakens here, bathed in life, and unspoken words can finally be voiced. The mice are chasing cats, and dogs are climbing trees...
The young man who throws the situation into turmoil steps forward amid wariness, hatred, and gratitude, smiling.
"We'll take turns telling the truth. The winner gets a wish."
Karasuma Yasushi: Interesting. I look forward to next time.
Third: Mechanical Frenzy × Touken Ranbu
The swordsmen of a corrupted citadel welcome their new Saniwa, a graceful, seemingly frail young man who walks at an unhurried pace. Yet he is surrounded by enthusiastic machines, and they exchange smiles with the swordsmen, who wield cold steel.
Faced with the swordsmen's excessive attempts to set things right, the Time Government looks at the young man, who remains unmoved, with both hope and worry. In a hurry, they go to the modern world to fetch a familiar helper.
Meeting the gaze of a black cat with a mischievous smile, the young man extends his hand without expression.
"Rock, paper, scissors to decide the winner. If you win, I'll be yours."
Karasuma Yasushi: Not bad? I'm never playing again!
