Fujiwara Yusuke cast aside all distractions—especially that endlessly foul mouth across from him—and focused on this draw.
And that mouth was actually quite disruptive. As everyone knew, what duelists played with was momentum, and momentum could shift in real time according to the atmosphere in the Duel Arena.
For example, when those rainbow-haired Seafood Heads were on the verge of defeat, like a candle in the wind, all they had to do was shout about friendship, bonds, or whatever, and their Destiny Power would skyrocket. A God Draw was practically guaranteed.

The card was even face-up. Becta had probably thought his victory was absolutely secure, impossible to overturn. But who could have expected that after the guy delivered a heartfelt speech about friendship and bonds, his Destiny Power would rise to cheat-code levels, and without even trying to hide it, he openly changed the card art and effect text of the final card in his hand. Becta had been utterly dumbfounded and nearly cursed out loud.

Otherwise, his faith in Darkness might really waver, and if his faith wavered at a moment like this, even a God Draw would be finished.
"Draw a Card!"
