The spirit residing within the Millennium Puzzle recognizes that his recollections of ancient Egypt have significantly diminished over time. Anzu decides to assist him in investigating the secrets of his forgotten past. Their efforts to uncover these mysteries are abruptly halted by the arrival of Step Johnny, a duelist known for his dancing abilities. He issues a direct challenge to Anzu, proposing a match in the rhythm-based video game Dance Dance Revolution. This unexpected interruption shifts the focus from their historical investigation to a competitive gaming session, forcing the pair to pause their search while engaging with the new opponent's unique style of duel.
