The screen that once displayed Johan and Yuuichi's epic psychological duel now stood dark for a moment, allowing the multiverse to digest the weight of what had just occurred. But silence was not peace. Instead, the storm of reactions burst forth like a damn cracking open—chaotic, raw, and overwhelming.
In the Tomodachi Game Universe
Yuuichi's home world was the first to erupt. Tenji Mikasa stared at the screen in a mixture of awe and terror. "He... really won," he whispered, his voice trembling.
Shibe's jaw was clenched. "I always knew he was dangerous, but this... this is on a whole different level."
Yutori's hands trembled as she clutched her shirt. "He didn't just win. He broke someone like Johan without lifting a finger. He made the devil question himself."
Even Manabu, the mascot-like face of the Tomodachi Game, seemed to smirk on the screens across their reality. "Perfect. Absolutely perfect."
In the Monster Universe
Silence reigned for minutes.
Dr. Kenzo Tenma stood motionless. He was watching the same boy—Johan Liebert—whom he had once failed to kill, now spiritually stripped by someone younger and arguably more terrifying. Not through violence. But logic. Empathy. Calculation.
"What Yuuichi did..." Tenma muttered, "was both salvation and execution."
Anna, Johan's twin sister, sat frozen on a bench, her breath shallow. "Johan... what will you be now?"
In the criminal underworld of that universe, silence turned to fear. Many who once worshipped Johan as a myth began burning files and severing old alliances. His downfall, symbolic though it was, had become an omen.
In the Death Note Universe
L was pacing. Not in anxiety, but in fervent calculation. He had seen many minds—Light Yagami, Mello, Near—but Yuuichi Katagiri's performance had rattled him.
"He didn't just win the game," L whispered, tapping a finger against his lip. "He reshaped Johan's very identity. And now he can read the intentions of any being?"
L collapsed into his chair. "I want to face him... but not now. I'm not ready."
Light Yagami, however, sat in rage.
"That should've been me," he spat. "He stole the kind of victory that would've immortalized me. And he didn't need a Death Note to do it."
Ryuk hovered nearby, grinning. "You're not the most dangerous genius anymore, huh, Light?"
In the Chainsaw Man Universe
Denji didn't get it. "So... he just talked the scary guy into being... what? Normal?"
Power snorted. "BORING! Let's kill things instead!"
But Kishibe, watching silently, muttered, "You don't understand, kids. That boy didn't win by strength. He won by making Johan want to change. That's a power no devil can touch."
Makima watched with interest, her curiosity piqued. A manipulator of emotions herself, she respected what she saw—perhaps even feared it.
The Punishment and Redemption of Johan Liebert
In a secluded part of the Multiversal space, Johan sat alone.
Gone was his smug aura, his haunting smile, the ghostly confidence that carried him through lifetimes of manipulation. Now, he looked like a hollow man—still beautiful, still composed—but burdened.
He could not lie. Not anymore. The system Yuuichi had imposed on him was total.
People walked past him, seeing through him. Some laughed. Others pitied him. None feared him anymore.
And in Johan's mind, every memory he buried rose again—every life he ruined, every family destroyed, every innocent broken.
He couldn't look away. That was the punishment: eternal clarity.
The Reward of Yuuichi Katagiri
Yuuichi stood alone in the Winner's Platform. The moment his new power activated, he staggered slightly.
The multiverse's noise.
Emotions, intentions, secrets—they surged into his mind in fragmented waves. But then, he smiled. Controlled it. Used it.
His eyes shimmered, no longer just eyes. They were lenses of emotional perception. Everyone he saw unfolded before him like an open diary.
He looked into the camera.
"I'll enjoy this next phase," he said.
Somewhere in the system's core, a soft voice responded:
"Next battle scheduled. Participants: Lelouch vi Britannia vs Light Yagami."

Fan Reactions Across the Multiverse
"Yuuichi is the new God of Logic!" – shouted a viewer from the Cyber Soul Dimension.
"That was better than any war. He destroyed Johan without a weapon!" – said King Enzo from Warbound Planets.
"I want him banned. He's too dangerous. What if he starts controlling us next?" – posted an anonymous viewer from the World of Whispers.
"More battles like this!" – demanded the Chaos Markets, who made trillions in emotional currency betting on the match.
The Broadcast Resumes
Just before the screen shifted to preview the next battle, a final message was displayed:
"Not all monsters have claws. Some wear smiles."
Yuuichi's face appeared one last time, expression unreadable to most—yet to those with deep perception, it carried a subtle warning:
He wasn't done.
Not by a long shot.
