Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

For him, it doesn't matter whether he attacks first or later.

The rule that Cyber ​​Dragon has an advantage when attacking from behind does not apply to Ryo Marufuji at all.

For him, the three Cyber ​​Dragons in his deck are always intertwined with Fusion; whenever he wants, he can summon the ace in his deck—Cyber ​​Ender Dragon.

"is it?"

"Then I'll attack from behind."

Upon hearing what Marufuji Ryo said, Yusei decisively chose to attack from behind.

Although Yusei has cards like Magic Cylinder in his hand that have a counterattack effect, Ryo Marufuji's deck also has Cyclone that can destroy face-down cards!

If he just goes straight for the first attack and covers the backcourt to end the round, he'll probably get one-shotted by Marufuji Ryo in the next round...

The explosive power of the Cyber ​​Dragon deck is no joke!

"I understand, then I'll make the first move."

"My turn, draw a card!"

After hearing Yusei's answer, Marufuji Ryo nodded slightly and then drew a card from his deck.

"I summon [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] (Machine/Light/Level 2/ATK 400/DEF 1500) from my hand in Attack Position".

A small white snake, about the size of an arm, with a silver-white mechanical body and red threads connecting its core in its chest, appeared in front of Marufuji Ryo.

Unlike the [Electronic Dragon] that appeared before, the [Electronic Dragon Core] in front of us is just like its name suggests; it is only the core part of the Electronic Dragon, and its size is relatively small compared to the Electronic Dragon.

However, Ryo Marufuji must have had his reasons for choosing to summon this monster.

"When this card is successfully summoned, I can add one [Cyber] or [Cyber ​​Tech] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand."

"Because of the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], I added the trap card [Cyber ​​Revolution] to my hand from my deck."

The Duel Disk indicator light flashed, and a card popped out of the deck, which Marufuji Ryo drew and added to his hand. 【Cyber ​​Dragon】Can only be Special Summoned from the hand if the opponent controls a monster and the player controls no monsters.

Because Yusei chose to go second, he had no cards on his field at that moment. As a result, Ryo Marufuji's Cyber ​​Dragon could not be Special Summoned.

Even if Ryo Marufuji fuses and summons [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon] in this turn, he cannot declare an attack in the first turn.

This is why Yusei chose to attack second.

Without [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity], Ryo Marufuji's threat level dropped by more than half.

The Cyber ​​Dragon that attacked first dealt a devastating blow, leaving the opponent with a broken bone!

155 The bicycle... fell over (sad)

After adding the Trap Card "Cyber ​​Revolution" to his hand, Ryo Marufuji placed another monster from his hand onto the Duel Disk.

"Then I activate the monster effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon Type IV] (Machine/Light/Level 4/ATK 1100/DEF 1600) in my hand. When I successfully Normal or Special Summon [Cyber ​​Dragon], this card can be Special Summoned from my hand."

A serpentine monster connected by purple orbs twisted its silvery-white body and coiled around the electronic dragon core.

As a clone of the [Cyber ​​Dragon], the [Cyber ​​Dragon Type IV] is almost identical in size to the real Cyber ​​Dragon.

"Huh... does the [Electronic Dragon Core] even count as an [Electronic Dragon]?"

Seeing Ryo Marufuji's actions, Hayato, who was watching, couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

"This is the monster effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon Core]. While it's on the field and in the Graveyard, its card name can also be used as Cyber ​​Dragon..."

Marufuji Sho answered Hayato's question. Having spent many years with his older brother, he naturally knew just how powerful the Cyber ​​Dragon deck was.

【Cyber ​​Dragon Core】Although it is only a low-attack 2-star monster, it has three effects.

In Ryo Marufuji's deck, besides [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], other low-level monsters with similar secondary effects include [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] and [Cyber ​​Dragon: Next Generation Star]...

Although these monsters do not have strong attack power, they can make the Cyber ​​Dragon deck run smoothly.

This is also why Marufuji Sho has always firmly believed that he cannot defeat Marufuji Ryo.

Whether looking at the strength of their decks or the skill and awareness of their duelists, the two are worlds apart.

Even a powerful duelist like Yusei, with his own [Machine] deck, shouldn't be able to defeat his brother...

"Summoning these two monsters... could it be..."

Seeing Ryo Marufuji's actions, Yusei seemed to realize something.

Just as Marufuji Sho was extremely familiar with his older brother's deck, Marufuji Ryo was equally knowledgeable about his younger brother's deck.

He had already guessed Yusei's plan when Yusei was building his deck.

"Ambush two cards, end of turn."

After placing two cards face down in the back row, Marufuji Ryo ended his turn.

(Ryo Marufuji's hand size: 6 → 3)

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei, having drawn a card from his deck, looked at his hand.

[Blender Man], [Magic Cylinder], [Mechanical Replication], [Power Combination], [Red Man Call], [Submarine Man].

Two monster cards, two spell cards, and two trap cards.

A very well-balanced combination...

Caesar's actions just now made him think of a possible astral projection, but instead of rushing to elaborate, he began to consider his next move.

In his original plan, he should have fused two Submarine Robots to Special Summon a Double Bike Robot with 1600 ATK that could directly attack the opponent, and then Normal Summon another Submarine Robot that could also directly attack the opponent.

After the "Double Bike Robot" deals damage to the opponent through a direct attack, activate the Quick-Play Spell Card "Fusion Deactivation" during the Battle Phase to send the "Double Bike Robot" back to the Extra Deck, Special Summon two "Submarine Robots" from the Graveyard, and finally have all three "Submarine Robots" on the field launch a direct attack together.

The attack power of the [Dual-person Bicycle Robot] is 1600, and the attack power of the [Submarine Robot] is 800. The three together have an attack power of 2400... which is exactly 4000 points of damage.

If there is a [Power Combination], the attack power of the [Dual-person Single-vehicle Robot] can be doubled to 3200 points, which would make it even simpler. You only need one [Submarine Robot] to achieve the same effect.

of course……

The above assumes that Marufuji Ryo stands there and lets you hit him without making any effective response.

This tactic relies on surprise; once it's figured out, its effectiveness is greatly reduced.

"Let's play it safe..."

After a moment's thought, Yusei finally chose the safer option.

The submarine and bicycle tactic is indeed brilliant, but if any link in the chain is blocked, it will become very awkward...

These two monsters weren't very strong to begin with, and they were facing a deck like Cyber ​​Dragon with extremely high burst damage. If they couldn't KO their opponent in one turn with a blitzkrieg, they would be in a very passive situation.

Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead is not the situation that Youxing wants to see.

"I summon [Blender] (Machine/Wind/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 2200) from my hand in Defense Position!"

A cement mixer truck, painted entirely in green with two large "eyes" on its front, appeared in front of Yusei, its tire-like limbs swaying.

As a vehicle of considerable size, this monster is nearly identical in size to the [Electronic Dragon Type IV].

"Uh... you actually used it..."

"Huh? Isn't Yusei's deck a [Hero] deck?"

"【Machine】...This looks like Sho's deck, doesn't it?"

"Attack power 0, but possesses a defense power of up to 2200..."

"I remember Cyber ​​Dragon's attack power was around 2100... This monster's defense is exactly 100 points higher than its attack power..."

"Using his one-time-per-turn Special Summon opportunity on this monster, is Yusei planning to stall for time this turn? But what if Kaiser summons Cyber ​​End Dragon next turn? Wouldn't Yusei repeat Jaden's mistake?"

Upon seeing the monster appear on the planet Yusei, everyone couldn't help but start discussing it amongst themselves, with Marufuji Sho, the person involved, becoming the focus of attention.

"As expected, Xiang lent you his deck."

Ryo Marufuji, who was watching the situation on the field with his arms crossed, gave Yusei a confident look.

There was no surprise on Marufuji Ryo's face.

"Let me guess... You're planning to fuse into a [two-person bicycle robot] and then launch a direct attack on me, right?"

"The Fusion Material for 【Double Bicycle Robot】 is two Machine-Type monsters of the same name, while the Effect of 【Blender Robot】 requires one Machine-Type monster on the field to be Tributed before it can be activated."

"If you don't intend to summon a new monster, then it can only free itself."

"The fusion material requirement for the 【Double Bicycle Robot】 is two Machine-type monsters with the same name. The best choice would probably be the 【Submarine Robot】, since it can directly attack the opponent..."

Legends Duelist of Duel City

156 I think there's still a chance to salvage it...

As Yusei listened to Ryo Marufuji's eloquent evaluation of the [Machine] deck, his expression gradually stiffened.

The original plan was to launch a surprise attack on the opponent, but it seems things have gone wrong...

Think about it carefully.

The only [Power Bond] card in Marufuji Sho's deck was given to him by Marufuji Ryo.

The fact that Ryo Marufuji would give this card to his younger brother shows that he already has a good understanding of Sho Marufuji's deck and knows its needs and weaknesses.

Yusei, who only just realized this, covered his head in annoyance.

If the opponent were someone else, Yusei's plan might have already succeeded.

However, his opponent at this moment happens to be Marufuji Ryo...

They were so focused on pulling off a flashy stunt, staging a hit-and-run accident on a bicycle for everyone, that they forgot about this other detail...

However, the current situation is far from being beyond redemption.

If we change our perspective, it's not that we can't win.

After finishing his thought, Yusei inserted a magic card from his hand into the back row.

"I target my [Blender Man] on my field and activate the Spell Card [Machine Copy] from my hand!"
