Dual Post
[It seems like that, with all the controversy with action dueling and the high levels of assault therein, the press was looking for someone appropriate to interview.
Instead, they found Jinn.
Or well. His introduction is very good, showing highlights of his boxing career and clips from the WRPG and Real Genex, from dueling Yusei in RGX, to Stardust Buster vs. Shian's team to summoning Quantum String Dragon. There was even, god knows how they got it, footage of his duels against both Thor and Loki's users, one of which wasn't even an official or exhibition duel.]
On the rash of violence in Action Duels in general.
Honestly, I think it's unsportsmanlike and shows a lack of faith in the participants dueling abilities. If Action Dueling wasn't fairly new I'm sure it'd be called 'unnecessary roughness' like it is in any other sport, or even a foul in something like boxing. You know.. even in boxing, you can shoulder check and bully your opponent to get them to move how you like, but this is way beyond that. This is more like headbutting or stepping on feet.
On differences between it and combat sports.
It's not even remotely the same, in my opinion. In combat sports everyone involved extensively trains not only to be able to throw a punch, but avoid or take one too. That's not even counting all the safety exams and the fact there's a referee watching carefully to enforce all the contact rules. They aren't even on the same plane of existence.
On the 'Duelist Crusher' and Ryozanpaku specifically.
The Duelist Crusher is a violent thug. There's really not any way to phrase it other than that. He's got a decent deck and way too much muscle. If he couldn't resort to disruptions and violence he wouldn't even be a blip on anyone's radar, but I guess new dueling formats will always get guys like that, huh?
Ryozanpaku....they're kids, y'know? But I can't agree with that they're doing. But it's not even on them, they're just doing as they've been taught, y'know. They seem like talented kids, but I dunno if their talent is being properly nurtured where they are.
Asked to elaborate further
Well.. y'know. Ryozanpaku...their headmaster called LDS and Duel Academy 'vanity projects by billionaires', but those vanity projects, especially Duel Academy, consistently produce high-quality professional duelists. Look over any tournament in recent history, RGX, WRPG...where was Ryozanpaku? All the other major duel schools had representatives in these tournaments, but Ryozanpaku didn't become noteworthy until physical interference became an aspect of the sport.
So I'm forced to wonder how much success they're experiencing now is cause of their students dueling ability, or cause their school teaches them how to throw a kick.
[There's a few other middling answers, like who he thinks is gonna win (Isabel) and any plans for coming out of retirement (Not at this time) to asking about proteges (N...n..o?)]
Journal Post.
...Whew.
I hope I did okay, there. I didn't expect to get a call like that out of nowhere.

I think they were actually hoping I was gonna go after that big guy.
no subject
Which I'm glad you're not because that would set the worst precedent, huh.
no subject
It'd be kinda pointless if I came as a ringer to beat him down physically, wouldn't it?
If I even could.
no subject
Overwhelming force, isn't he.
no subject
Plus he's monstrous on top of it.
Plus who knows what he'd do if there was someone on the same physical level as him.
I'm more worried about the kids from that school.
no subject
The ultimate prize is a Pro contract if you succeed in the Junior Leagues.
If that Duelist Crusher guy's still around by then...
I dunno, I think even kids like that don't deserve that fate.

no subject
Not gonna have much future if they reach the Pros and then get crushed by that guy immediately.
no subject
Seriously though, if someone doesn't beat him it might turn into a PR problem.
no subject
Who would have a chance against him right now, without specifically teching against his deck, or being able to handle what he tries to do?
no subject
Probably.
