I can guarantee that the knowledge of one thing being fiction somewhere else is not how you would or would have made things weird.
Anyway.
Basically about 18ish years ago, a new form of energy called Momentum was developed.
Suffice to say, KaibaCorp got their mitts ALL over that, which is probably why D-wheels and associated vehicles became such a hot commodity for people who don't even play the game. It's REALLY cheap energy. Pretty much everything in Neo-Domino- heck most of Japan at this point- runs off it.
The usage fades out a bunch once you go international- the d-wheels used by pro-competitors obviously run on it but a lot of countries are still pretty particular about gas and electric.
Anyway back to the point, the generator works with perpetual motion. Also I'm pretty sure it's cutting dimensions, I'd have to go over what I got while living next to the thing again. Turn one way, it's fine.
Turn the other way and...well.
Boom.
Domino was cut right in two- the epicenter became an island known as Satellite. The remaining on the mainland was rebuilt and built overtop of itself as 'Neo Domino'. Not exactly the first time a project ended in ~rebranding~ a city but I guess it made sense here at least.
