Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Both are duelists using Hero decks, yet Yusei could completely dominate Jaden Yuki.

……

...

Yusei: "My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei added the cards he drew to his hand and quickly devised a strategy.

"I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand! I use [Elemental HERO Wingman] and [Elemental HERO Burst Girl] from my hand as materials to perform a Fusion Summon!"

"Masaka? (Could it be?)"

Both Marufuji Sho and Misawa Daichi showed expressions of surprise.

"Is this guy also using a Hero deck?"

"This scene seems familiar..."

"I know! I know! The next one to appear is the Flame Winged Man, right!"

The onlookers discussed amongst themselves, seemingly believing that Yusei's tactics had been completely figured out.

"...Come forth! [Elemental Hero Phoenix] (Warrior/Fire Attribute/6-Star/Attack 2100/Defense 1200)."

Ignoring the discussions around him, Yusei summoned a completely different Hero Fusion Monster using the same materials.

A humanoid monster with green wings, a sharp claw on its right hand, and a pointed tail on its back appeared on the field.

"So you're a duelist who uses a Hero deck too! That's amazing!" Jaden Yuki exclaimed excitedly when he saw the Phoenix Man.

The monster before him was also a fusion of [Elemental Hero Wingman] and [Elemental Hero Burst Girl], and seemed to bear some resemblance to his own [Flame Wingman].

This new possibility of fusion summoning made him even more excited.

"Elemental HERO Phoenix Man, attack Nendoroid!" Yusei gave the attack order to Phoenix Man.

Instead of telling stories and spending a lot of time performing the three fusion summons as before, he chose to slow down and enjoy the duel.

The Phoenix Man spread his wings and leaped into the air, beginning to flap his enormous wings. As his wings flapped, a storm began to rise on the ground, and the Clayman was right at the center of the storm.

Clayman's defense is 2000, while Phoenix Man's attack is 2100.

Under the Phoenix's storm attack, Clayman was quickly destroyed and sent to the graveyard.

Because Nendoroid was in Defense Position, Jaden Yuki was not damaged, and his LP remained at 4000.

"Identify the hidden card [Hero Mark]! When a monster on your field is destroyed! I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower [Elemental HERO] monster from my hand or Deck! I choose to Summon [Elemental HERO Wingman] in Attack Position!"

The instant Nendoroid was destroyed, Jaden Yuki activated his backrow face-down card.

According to Jaden Yuki, Yusei has already entered the battle phase, and the only monster on the field, Phoenix Man, has already launched an attack.

Even if the traveler enters the main phase 2 and summons a new monster, it will no longer be able to attack, so he can confidently summon the monster in attack position.

Yusei noticed Jaden Yuki's little scheme. He smiled and then activated a spell card from his hand: "I activate Quick-Play Spell Card [Form Change]! I transform [Elemental HERO Phoenix] on the field into a Masked Form!"

[Form Change] (Quick Attack Magic)

Effect: You can target 1 Elemental HERO Fusion Monster you control; return that monster to your Extra Deck, and Special Summon 1 Masked HERO Monster with the same Level but a different Name from that monster from your Extra Deck as the effect of Mask Change.

Yusei: "Hear my call and appear! My friend, you hero!"

Everyone: "Friendly Hero?"

"...Masked Hero Dark Claw".

As the [Form Change] was activated, the Phoenix Man's body was enveloped in light and began to turn golden. Then, fragments of black werewolf-shaped armor appeared from the void. As if attracted, these fragments automatically assembled on the Phoenix Man's body, which had turned into light.

After a dazzling assembly, a werewolf-like hero monster replaced the Phoenix Man and remained on the field.

It's none other than our friend Xia, who previously displayed incredible power in the dream world! [Masked Hero - Dark Claw]!

044 Yuki Jaden: I'll show you a divine draw.

"Let's be friends!" Dark Claw pointed at Jaden Yuki with his right hand and said that classic line.

"???" Yuki Judai pointed to himself with a puzzled expression. After seeing his friend Kamen Rider nod slightly, he finally realized that the other person was talking to him.

"What? This monster can talk?" Marufuji Sho's face showed a shocked expression.

"Hmm... I've heard before that some cards contain Duel Spirits, and the monsters in these special cards seem to have their own consciousness..."

"However, this is the first time I've actually seen something like this."

Daichi Misawa stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Gurgle gurgle~"

Just as Jaden was about to talk to his friend Kamen Rider, a voice came from his card, seemingly reminding him not to let his guard down.

"Oh?" Yusei looked enlightened.

"That voice...who is calling me?" Jaden Yuki looked at the [Winged Kuriboh] card in his hand that had made the sound. It was the card that a starfish-haired youth had given him in the park.

"No way……"

Looking at the card in his hand, Yuki Judai began to recall his experiences from the past few days.

Because I was in a hurry to get to the exam, after bumping into Yusei, I accidentally bumped into a second person, a young man with a starfish-shaped hairstyle.

The starfish-haired youth who was bumped into didn't blame him; instead, he gave him this [Winged Kuriboh] card.

"This guy seems to be thinking of going to your place."

"This is a lucky card, good luck!"

The young man handed the card to Jaden Yuki, then waved and left.

……

Jaden Yuki watched as the Winged Kuriboh was drawn to it.

It seemed to be his imagination, just like when Yusei got the [Spherical Kuriboh] from Tengu Yui before, he felt that the monster in the card seemed to wink at him.

I believe in you, my partner!

Winged Kuriboh warned Jaden Yuki to be careful of the [Masked Hero Dark Claw] in front of him. Jaden Yuki believed Winged Kuriboh's warning and began to be on high alert for this monster.

"Yusei, is this your ace monster?"

"Masked Heroes and my Elemental Heroes are different types of heroes..."

"My partner was just reminding me not to underestimate the monsters on your field!"

After being reminded by Winged Kuriboh, Jaden Yuki abandoned the idea of ​​greeting his friend Kamen Rider.

It's still Yusei's battle phase, and Yusei's friends on the field haven't made any attacks yet.

"Well, just watch."

"【Masked Hero Dark Claw】attacks 【Elemental Hero Winged Warrior】! Take this! Heroic Flash (Physical)!"

Friend Hero leaped into the air, performing a spinning attack in mid-air, and then Winged Hero's body was kicked into the air and shattered into pieces by the impact.

Jaden Yuki held the Duel Disk horizontally in front of him, directly absorbing the wind pressure generated by the battle. He took 1400 points of battle damage from the difference in attack power between the two monsters.

(Jaden Yuki's LP: 4000 → 2600)

Just as Jaden Yuki was about to put the destroyed Winged Warrior from the Duel Disk into the Graveyard, Yusei reminded him, "Wait, when Masked Hero Dark Claw is on the field, cards that your opponent sends to the Graveyard cannot be sent to the Graveyard; instead, they are banished directly from the game."

"what?"

"Holy crap, they've completely sealed off the cemetery..."

"What kind of weird effect is this?!"

"Masked Hero is so strong!"

"This effect... I love it!"

Upon hearing about the effects of Friend Hero, everyone present showed expressions of shock, because the monster's effects were simply too outrageous.

If certain decks that rely on the graveyard encounter this card, they'll be utterly crushed.

"Hehehe...I'm so touched, Yusei!"

"To be able to fight such a powerful monster!"

Having taken the direct hit of the Dark Claw attack and having Winged Warrior removed by its effect, Jaden Yuki's face showed no negative emotions; instead, his enthusiasm soared even higher.

Yusei looked at Yuki Jaden like this and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't dislike his hot-blooded and silly personality.

"End of round."

Instead of entering the main phase to develop his deck or setting cards, Yusei chose to end his turn.

(Yusei's hand size: 6 → 2)

……

"From now on, it's time to test my true strength!" Jaden Yuki smiled confidently, placing his index and middle fingers on the deck, maintaining a card-drawing posture.

At this moment, Jaden Yuki closed his eyes, as if he was preparing something.

"What is number 110 doing?" Marufuji Sho asked Misawa Daichi beside him.

"This... seems to be a gamble on drawing cards."

"Praying for the card you want to draw seems to increase your chances of getting it..." Daichi Misawa said somewhat uncertainly.

Youxing: “…”

Yusei also saw Jaden Yuki's actions, and he couldn't help but start imagining things in his mind.

Is Jaden Yuki about to unleash a cheat code and draw a godlike card on the spot?

"My turn! Draw a card!"

Seemingly having already prepared his emotions, Jaden Yuki decisively drew a card from his deck.

"It's here!" Jaden Yuki looked at the magic card [Fusion] he had drawn, his face showing excitement.
