My apologies for not replying. I had to focus on other things for a while.

I honestly don't think Marik and Ishizu were there when all that happened. The part of the series when the Big 5 trap Kaiba in the virtual world happened right after Duelist Kindom. It wasn't until Battle City that Marik and Ishizu were introduced. I suppose they may have been briefly shown as forshadowing of sorts but they clearly didn't have any idea about what was going on with the Big 5.

"Gong deck", what is that?

A lot of places in the US are facing rising numbers right now. It is unfortunate but no one can really predict when things will be able to reopen. As for the parades, that is interesting. Though I suppose the New Year's parade may invove more money and preparation. In that case, I could undserstand why they would be more conservative about it compared to the Thanksgiving Day parade.

That is very regrettable news about your grandpa. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with the situation.
