Thinking about what a crossover YGO-MP100 would be and it occurs to me that the entire canon of Yu-Gi-Oh! and all its offshoots could be happening in the background of Seasoning City and Shigeo is just like “oh it seems they’re having fun, how nice” while incidentally witnessing a Originally-From-A-Horror-Series-That-Turned-Into-Something-Else Death Game™, and then continuing on with whatever he was doing.
Reigen spots the card weirdoes sometimes but his impressions are “kids and their card games” “kids and their card games” “huh I could clean up at thi- nope it requires a heavy initial cash investment” “kids and their card games” “NOPE NOT GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS ONE” “kids and their... death games?” “does that toddler have a gun”
He’d only get involved if 1) he saw one of the players at actual risk of Death/Horror Manga Repercussions or 2) got called in for it as a job.
He has no idea why this old lady is so hopped up about Kids And Their Card Games but old people are just Like That so he figures he’ll make them clear out for a few weeks or to a new location and that’ll be the end of it. He brings Mob solely for moral support and some insight into What The Youths Are Into These days. Unfortunately it’s probably mid-series Shigeo so his impressions are “haha other people having fun club activities” and doesn’t realize the severity of it. He pops an entire Shadow Dimension Duel Bubble without a thought. Reigen writes it off as hologram special effects and they get ramen (after he levies a self-righteous but completely ignorant lecture at the duelists of course).
Both unknowingly pick up a cult following for their involvement BUT it’s 2 different cults, one for Reigen and one for Mob. The Mob cult hates the Bowl Cut Cult or w/e and refuses to believe their Anti-Dimensional Savior is the smile annihilator, while the former Dimple cult can’t believe that their best lead is THESE bozos. Hysterically, the Reigen cult actually accidentally becomes a community service group but one that talks like used car salesmen. They do end up doing a lot of communal good, though.
