Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

coming!

This is the card I wanted!

"Hahaha... Yusei, if you think I have no other way and intend to end my turn like this, you are sorely mistaken!"

Having drawn the card he wanted, Ayanokouji's eyes lit up with joy. He pointed his finger at Yusei and made a strange declaration.

Yusei: "?"

"Next, I'll show you my invincible combination!"

With a hint of satisfaction in his eyes and a flame seemingly about to reignite around him, Ayanokouji thrust the Continuous Spell Card he had just drawn from his deck using the effect of [Pot of Greed] into his Duel Disk: "I activate the Continuous Spell Card [Dark Door] from my hand, and activate its effect: As long as this card is on the field, each player can only send one monster to attack during the Battle Phase!"

A new card projection appeared in front of Ayanokouji, the image of which depicted a black figure slowly emerging from a green dimensional vortex.

An invisible pressure began to appear on the duel field. With the activation of this magic card, a barrier of airflow with restrictive force gradually formed between Yusei and Ayanokouji.

"Hmm...this trend...is it the 'reclusive' style?"

Feeling this familiar sensation, as if his hands and feet were being restrained by an invisible hand, Yusei couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression on his face.

In situations like this, spell cards with the "wind" element can really come in handy...

The characters in the anime, despite having cards like [Whirlwind], [Tornado], and [Great Storm] in their decks that could easily disrupt the opponent's field, deliberately hold back, letting the opponent complete their combo...

Yusei, who planned to defeat Ayanokouji instantly, wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

If he draws the wind in the next round, then Ayanokouji will have a hard time!

When the opponent is at their most triumphant, unleash a barrage of attacks to clear out their backline, then take them down in one fell swoop while they're still completely bewildered...

Basically, this is Yusei's current line of thinking.

"With the existence of the [Dark Gate], even if you summon a bunch of monsters, only one monster can attack..."

"...Furthermore, even if you try to attack the [legendary super server], it will be blocked by the [tennis racket]!"

Pulling a small comb from his underwear pocket, Ayanokouji smugly combed his bangs, his face regaining its confident expression. He then boasted to Yusei, "How about that? It's both offensive and defensive! This is my invincible [Tennis] deck!"

A life-or-death game, coupled with exceptionally good luck in the cards.

It's absolutely unbeatable, isn't it?

Although he didn't voice these inner thoughts, Ayanokouji's expression at that moment clearly showed Yusei what he was thinking.

"Huh?! This combination... could it be..."

Upon hearing Ayanokouji's words and realizing his intentions, Judai Yuki couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

This arrogant guy seems to have something going for him...

The combination of the "Dark Gate" effect, which restricts attacks to only a single monster, and the "Tennis Racket" effect, which nullifies one attack, makes the "Legendary Super Server" an indestructible monster.

In addition, there's the direct attacking ability of the [legendary super server]...

If this problem isn't solved, Yusei will have to endure a one-sided attack from Ayanokouji!

"Hidden card, turn ends!"

Having buried his last card on the field, Ayanokouji, mimicking Yusei's posture, crossed his arms over his chest and struck a crooked-mouthed dragon king pose: "How about it? Yusei... were you scared by my agile tactics?"

"Even I was surprised by my good luck today!"

"Hahaha... Judging by this, even the heavens are on my side to rescue Asuka from your clutches!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Ayanokouji's words, which even got the premise wrong, Yusei couldn't help but let out a mocking sneer.

Yusei lowered his arms from his chest, ignoring Ayanokouji's smug expression, and drew a new card directly from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

After sending [Scrap Kuriboh] to the graveyard in the previous turn, Yusei's hand is replenished to 5 cards this turn.

"...[Fusion]?...That's fine too."

Yusei, who hadn't been hit by any sudden change in the weather, frowned slightly and then began to think about new tactics again.

If it can move, it can play; a single card can drive the entire deck's operation.

When it comes to deck flexibility and burst damage, the [Hero] deck is definitely among the top!

"Let me see... a face-down card, a continuous spell card, and then a low-level monster equipped with an Equip Spell Card..."

"Only one monster can attack at a time, and the first attack will be blocked..."

"This situation is perfect for bringing out that monster!"

Yusei, having carefully counted Ayanokouji's trump cards, smiled slightly at the smug-looking Ayanokouji, and then without hesitation, inserted the [Fusion] card he had just drawn into the back row of his Duel Disk and activated it: "Spell Card - [Fusion] Activated!"

"I'm sending these three HERO monsters from my hand—[Elemental HERO Sky Knight], [Elemental HERO Hot Lady], and [Elemental HERO Clay Knight]—to the Graveyard as materials!"

Faced with someone like Ayanokouji...

That's it, soul!

Victory is certain; now the question is how to achieve it in a stylish way!

Yusei, who intended to show Ayanokouji what despair was, did not choose to first Normal Summon Sky Knight from his hand, search for other HERO monsters in his deck, and then perform a Fusion Summon. Instead, he copied Jaden Yuki's classic move and directly performed a four-for-one exchange!

However, unlike the useless monster that Jaden Yuki summoned at great cost—[Elemental HERO Storm Hero]—Yusei is planning to summon a new Fusion Hero that can take down the self-proclaimed invincible Ayanokouji in one fell swoop!

"What?! Trisolaran fusion? You... what are you planning to do...?"

As a third-year student in Obelisk Blue, Ayanokouji did not witness firsthand the duel in which Yusei used "Genmei-ryu" to defeat Marufuji Sho during the first-year monthly exam.

Therefore, he was not entirely clear about Yusei's strength, but only made a rough assessment based on his own intuition.

Ayanokouji, who had been confident that he was invincible today, was stunned when he saw Yusei stuff all his cards into the graveyard, leaving only one card.

What the hell is this?!

Shouldn't you have slowly unfolded your hand, card by card, only to have it blocked by my invincible combination, and then, amidst my maniacal laughter, regret and sigh?

Where's the promised development?

Why did you just throw away the card?

"Hey you……"

Just as Ayanokouji was about to ask Yusei about his plans due to the doubts that had surfaced in his mind, Yusei, who had already seen the outcome of the duel, stretched out his right arm directly upwards.

Justice may be delayed, but it will never be denied!

"Transcend all sorrow, and transform the darkness within into the driving force to move forward..."

The intense light from the fusion summon appeared on the duel arena along with Yusei's call, also putting Ayanokouji's questions back into his mind.

Unable to look directly at the light, he instinctively turned his head to avoid the blinding glare.

"Could it be... that Yusei is really strong?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yusei standing tall in the light, his arm raised, like an unmoving hero. Ayanokouji couldn't help but think of this.

This idea, which seemed somewhat absurd to him, gradually became a reality with the emergence of a new hero.

"...Fusion Summoning!"

Come on!

"—【Phantom Hero - Thirty-One】(Warrior/Dark/8-Star/Attack 2500/Defense 2000)!"

Yusei proclaimed the hero's name from his mouth.

With that shout, a strong wind pressure began to form in front of Yusei, and it seemed that even the restrictions brought by the Continuous Magic Card [Dark Gate] disappeared without a trace at this moment.

The red super armor completely covered his body, with red beads with white edges inlaid at the joints and chest. Thick shoulder armor covered the left and right shoulders, and there were four silver iron wings in the form of a cloak behind him.

With a wave of his arm, he broke through the dazzling light, and the dark-attribute hero who appeared on the field—Sanichi—placed his hands on his hips, using his giant-like body to protect Yusei.

"Phantom Hero... Trinity Force!!!"

"...It's a new hero monster!"

"Yusei, as expected of you!"

Since summoning the three-body fusion hero, [Elemental Hero: Core Warrior], during the previous duel with Asuka, this three-body fusion hero, with new attributes, has revealed its form with overwhelming power to everyone's astonished gaze.

"I've won this duel!"

"Hmph! [Phantom Hero - Trinity]'s attack power is only 2500 points... What nonsense are you talking about! Even without the equipped magic card [Tennis Racket], you couldn't possibly kill me instantly!"

Ayanokouji, arms crossed, let out a disdainful snort at Yusei's declaration of victory.

Although I was initially quite startled by the appearance of the three people, and almost decided to run away on the spot...

However, upon seeing that Sanji only had a mere 2500 attack power, a confident smile returned to Ayanokouji's face.

Thunder, little rain.

A piece of trash with only 2500 attack power, who can't even break through my invincible defense, makes a grand entrance that's more dazzling than the three legendary gods. What's he up to?

You're pretending to be something you're not!

253 There's nothing a basic attack can't solve! (5K)

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

"You just said you're going to win this duel, right?"

"They made those bold statements, but this is the result they achieved."

"Yusei... do you think you can break through my invincible defense with a monster that only has 2500 attack power?"

With her arms crossed and a mocking expression on her face, Ayanokouji subtly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead before launching into another unwarranted taunt at Yusei.

Judging from his appearance, it seems he intends to cover up his embarrassing behavior just now through this action.

"……what?"

Yusei glanced at the "legendary super server" on Ayanokouji's field with an attack power of only 300 points and couldn't help but feel speechless.

no……
