The teaser for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Chronicles episode 2, “Snake-Eyes Poplar,” is out, and it brings the Goblin Riders into Diabellstar’s hunt for the Sinful Spoils. The clip shows a strange creature joining Diabellstar on her journey, setting off a chain of events that puts her in a fight she didn’t plan.
The Teaser’s Setup
Diabellstar was meant to keep searching for the Sinful Spoils. Instead, a mysterious creature showed up beside her, and that change drew trouble toward her. In her irritable state, the Goblin Rider gang appeared in front of her and began their attack.
The Goblin Riders and Their Secret Weapon
Diabellstar finds herself in an unexpectedly difficult battle. The Goblin Riders wield a secret weapon: The Beast. Its strength and defenses make the fight harder than she expected.
The Voice Cast Behind the Fight
Three performers are tied to the episode:
- Misaki Kuno voices Snake-Eyes Poplar
- Shigeru Chiba voices Goblin Biker Big Gabonga
- Diabellstar, Poplar and Diabellze are credited in the description
Gabonga’s Full Performance
Gabonga’s lines are pure energy. He introduces himself as the boss of the Goblin Riders, the one who brings fear to the world. Then he delivers the kicker: “Name’s not Momonga! It’s GABONGA!”
He closes with a boast about being 10 billion light years ahead of anyone who might challenge him, followed by a warning that he will make anyone who doesn’t understand him regret it.
