 * Killing Pegasus when Paradox did so would not end up in Duel Monsters getting destroyed. At most, it would prevent Rainbow Dragon from being created, which would result in Judai still being stuck in the other dimension in Season 3 of GX, thus preventing him from protecting the world from Darkness.
 ** Maybe he assumed that without Pegasus, Industrial Illusions would collapse and Duel Monsters cards and paraphernalia would stop being manufactured- that, in essence, Industrial Illusions had [[No Ontological Inertia]]? If he was the last man on Earth, its not like anybody would have been around to give him an economics and business management course explaining how that wouldn't happen.
-*** One problem with that. Pegasus isn't the only proprietor when it comes to Duel Monsters. It is just as likely that even with his death, (the fact that an entire company doesn't just immediately fall on its ass with the death of one man notwithstanding) Duel Monsters would still thrive under [[Kaiba Corp]] and other smaller lesser-known companies. If he knew enough to realize that Pegasus was the creator of the godawful game that supposedly turned his world into a wasteland, he had to have had the common sense to do away with the man in a time period before he created the card game. Or better yet, he could've even taken himself all the way back to Ancient Egypt and destroyed the whole concept of the game where it started. If that seems like overkill, let's remember that this is a guy that blames destruction of the world on card games. And then guess what? If the man had gone all the way back to the roots of the game, all the drama from then on wouldn't have happened, whether or not any or all of the three protagonists who kicked his ass would even be born/exist would be questionable, and he would have succeeded in his supposed mission. Even if it affects his whole existence, he'd still do it to achieve his goals, as he has clearly shown no problem with fucking up reality to meet his ends.

 * Does Paradox not realize that killing Pegasus would mean Duel Monsters wouldn't become a worldwide phenomenon, so he wouldn't have to go back and kill Pegasus, which in the end would result in [[Grandfather Paradox|the obvious?]]
