writchcodex: Still Running (pic#13024934)
Wanna know a secret? I've never seen a Bruce Lee movie. It's a fact I've deliberately kept from my Wing Chun teacher, because he's constantly referring to martial arts movies, and I've been pretending to know what I'm laughing about too long to out myself as a phony now. So, when I saw this chapter's title, the thing that immediately jumped into my mind was Thumbelina pricking people with needles and jumping out at people from music boxes. You know, being a one-inch terror.

The bottom of the title page tells me about the pun that my Wing Chun teacher would already have been laughing at, beneath a picture of Jonouchi inviting Yuugi to the arcade after school. To be honest, I'm still not even in the right ballpark, because now all I can think of is One Punch Man. Don't ask me how my mind works.

Jonouchi is determined to beat the record-holder in the arcade today. Yuugi asks if there's someone in the arcade who's really good, and Jonouchi says not only is he good, but he's become a legend. Jonouchi points at a racing game and tells Yuugi to look at the rankings there, where "KAI" is listed at the top. Yuugi repeats the name in confusion while Jonouchi describes "KAI" as a jerk who has the record on almost all the games in the arcade. In fact, since the games in this arcade are connected to others in the country, it can be extrapolated that "KAI" is the best gamer in Japan. Yuugi ponders what kind of person he must be, but Jonouchi hasn't seen him and doesn't care to. All he cares about is beating "KAI"'s record and taking the title of top gamer in all Japan.
