Seito Kaiba and Minorin engage in an epic battle in this NicoNico video complete with laughably bad editing.
Cast members from both characters’ respective anime make cameo appearances as well. If you don’t have a clue what is going on, you can see the rise of the meme with Night of Command and Speed Command.
