since when did duke have a father and why is he a clown. why havent they mentioned his duel against joey using random booster packs. or when he forced him to wear a dog costume. and wheres the part about him challenging yugi to a game of ddm and if he loses he has to give up duel monsters forever. this story is trash and makes no sense. first they bring antinomy back to life for no reason and now this. get your sh1t together konami and get the fvcking story right
The one not getting the story right is you, I´m afraid. Duel Links bases the background story of DM characters on the manga, in which Duke´s father being a clown and wanting the Puzzle is what happens.
The whole Joey´s dog costume story happened only in the anime, and thus hasn´t been adapted here. At least be thankful some nods from the anime have been kept, like Duke idolizing Pegasus.
