Duryodhana was a good friend of Matsya Kingdom's commander-in-chief Kichaka. When Bhima killed him for humiliating Draupadi, Duryodhana blamed Matsya's King Virata for his friend Kichaka's death. Virata got angry and ordered Duryodhana to get out of his Kingdom after insulting him.
Afterward, Duryodhana creates hurdles for the Pandavas Yaga by resorting to Ghosha Yatra, staying nearby, and mocking them. However, when he faces defeat by Gandharva king Chitrasena, Dharmaja sends Bhima & Arjuna for his rescue, which ignites his self-esteem, and he decides to take self-immolation, but Karna & Shakuni comfort him.
Draupadi (Sanskrit: द्रौपदी, romanized: draupadī, lit. 'Daughter of Drupada'), also referred to as Krishnā, Panchali, and Yajnaseni, is the main female protagonist of the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, and the wife of the five Pandava brothers—Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva.

Thereupon, Kitchaka hails and badly humiliates her in between the court. Due to the stipulation, Pandavas persevered with patience. After that, they tactically plot by alluring Kichaka through Draupadi and invite him to the dancing hall, where Bhima backstabs him. Being conscious of it, Duryodhana unearths the Pandavas concealed in Matsya.
Mahaprasthanika parva describes the journey of Draupadi and Pandava brothers through India, then in the Himalayas towards Mount Sumeru. Draupadi is the first one to die on the way (shown).
Gandhara prince Shakuni was the root of all the conspiracies of Duryodhana against the Pandavas, which finally resulted in the Kurukshetra War.

e: Duryodhana and his siblings were born at the same time, and they were of the same generation as their Pandava cousins. f : Although the succession after the Pandavas was through the descendants of Arjuna and Subhadra, it was Yudhishthira and Draupadi who occupied the throne of Hastinapura after the great battle.
Duryodhana, with his maternal uncle, Shakuni, managed to gratify the sage. Durvasa was pleased enough to grant him a boon. Duryodhana, secretly wanting Durvasa to curse the Pandavas in anger, asked the sage to visit his cousins in the forest after Draupadi had eaten her meal, knowing that the Pandavas would then have nothing to feed him.
