-Commentary from the voice actors of the I:P Masquerena & Chiyomaru animation:

I:P Masquerena/EM:P Meowmine: Kaede Hondo

“I’m Kaede Hondo, in charge of the role of I:P Masquerena!
She’s elusive as a cat, easy going and charming.
Nevertheless, she still manages to complete her job.
In order to bring the versatile I:P Masquerena to life, I’ll take on this challenge with the utmost love and care.
Thank you for this opportunity!”

S-Force Rappa Chiyomaru/S-Force Nightchaser/S:P Little Knight: Konomi Kohara

“I’m Konomi Kohara, who played as Chiyomaru.
I would have never thought I would take a role in Yu-Gi-Oh! in the form of Chiyomaru, so I’m extremely happy about this!
Tomboyish and energetic, I, too, was drawn into her charms. For those that already love her, I hope that you end up loving her even more.
Thank you for this opportunity!”

-4th Anniversary Legacy
Konami has compiled data until December 31st, 2025 about various statistics from the game:

–Total Duel Time
The total Duel Time for PVP Duels was:
2,913,649,805,474 seconds

This length equals roughly 92000 years: A boundless enough passage of time to go back to the era when mammoths ruled the land.

*Solo Mode is not counted. This is the total time for each player (e.g. if a Duel took 100 seconds, 200 seconds are counted due to the 2 players)

–Number of Cards Obtained
The total number of cards obtained was:
162,550,859,581 cards!
Lining them up vertically, that’s about 162,550,859,581 kilometers!
That distance is long enough to go around Earth about 350 times.

*Calculating 1 loop around the Earth as 40,000km, and the length of each card as 86mm.

–Number of Monsters Summoned
The total number of monsters Summoned was:
26,582,011,934 monsters!
This number is roughly 3.2 times the population of Earth!
Compared to the population of Japan, that’s 221.5 larger.

*Calculating the population of Earth as 8,300,000,000 people. Counting Normal and Special Summons.

–Total Damage Dealt to Opponents
The total damage dealt to opponents was:
11,070,141,830,467 damage!
This is equal to about 3,690,000,000 direct attacks from a 3000 ATK “Blue-Eyes White Dragon”!
For a 4500 ATK “Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon”, it would still take about 2,460,000,000 attacks.

*Counting battle damage as well as effect damage.
