creative Yu-Gi-Oh! Veteran Kazuki Takahashi passed away in early July, and it was reported that his body was found off the coast of Nago City in Okinawa wearing diving gear, a mask and fins, although the cause of death has not yet been revealed.

Several months later, we now have the full story of the Stars and Stripes. According to multiple eyewitnesses, Takahashi died while trying to rescue three people who were trapped in a river wave at a famous shipwreck spot in Okinawa.

The accident occurred on July 4, when diving instructor Robert Borgo entered a cave with several students when the group spotted three people who were trapped in a whirlpool. Another American soldier was caught in the whirlpool.

I grabbed my mom and grabbed the girl and kicked her the whole time.

His actions earned him a nomination for the Soldier's Medal, which recognizes heroism outside of a military conflict, and the third man was able to return to shore with some guidance from Borgo and his students. At one point, Takahashi attempted to assist in the rescue by donning scuba gear. Purgo said he had never seen Takahashi enter the water, but his students said Takahashi was also trying to help, putting himself at great risk in doing so.

He is a hero, he died trying to save someone else.

In addition to the statements made by eyewitnesses under oath, local authorities also found Takahashi's rental car near the diving site, and after all, the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh lived! He inspires us with his works that will remain immortal in the hearts of his fans, and he died, as “Borgo” said, a hero.
