Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Yusei, dressed in a brand new outfit, has his inner chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) relapse once again.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, he unconsciously placed his bandaged right hand in front of his eyes, then, with a serious expression, uttered some inexplicably melodramatic words: "The power of the king residing in my right hand! Now heed my call and awaken! DARK DRAGON..."

Everyone: "..."

"The current me... cough cough! The current me is the incarnation of the King of Darkness! I have long ago made a pact with the Creator God of Light that as long as I am not controlled by anger and do not take any lives in the next hundred years... then I will return my stars and the people I love!"

With the help of the costume, Yusei fearlessly finished explaining his current setup.

"...The King of Darkness? A promise? A beloved one?"

Scratching his head in confusion, Jaden Yuki asked curiously, "...What are all those things?"

"Um... if you're not feeling well, it would be best to go to the infirmary and see Ms. Emi, okay?" Asuka kindly offered her suggestion.

Youxing: “…”

"Okay, I'm not acting anymore..." Feeling a little embarrassed by the concerned looks from everyone, You quickly snapped out of his chuunibyou state.

My actions just now were merely a spur-of-the-moment decision.

After the initial enthusiasm and excitement subsided, his thoughts began to change.

"Yo! Ten Thousand Eyes Lightning!"

"Number one in Japan!"

"No! It should be number one in the world!"

Just as Yusei was at a loss, the phantom that had disturbed the three brothers appeared before Yusei, along with the figure of Manjoume. Having also changed his clothes, he arrived at the place where everyone had gathered.

"...XYZ-Dragon Cannon? Is this Manjoume's choice?" Looking at Manjoume standing before her like a Gundam, Jaden Yuki's eyes lit up with amazement: "Amazing! This isn't an outfit that just anyone can easily pull off!"

The X-shaped cannons on the shoulders, the Y-shaped red dragon head at the waist, and the Z-shaped metal tracks under the feet...

Wearing this outfit, Manjōme basically looked like he was carrying a huge metal box, perfectly embodying the meaning of flashy but impractical...

Perhaps only a brave soul like Manjoume, who cares so much about his reputation, would dare to dress like this.

"...It's Mr. Manjoume!" Habitually correcting Judai's statement, Manjoume turned his head with a haughty air: "I'm the kind of man who does things properly...completely different from you!"

"Enough of that! Everyone... let's get started on the Osiris Red cosplay duel!"

With some difficulty, Manjoume moved his XYZ-Shinryu Cannon cosplay outfit and stepped onto the open space in front of the dormitory.

"Huh? A cosplay duel? That sounds pretty interesting!"

"Oh! It seems like something interesting is about to begin!"

"That XYZ-Divine Dragon Cannon... isn't it supposed to be Manjoume? It's amazing that that guy can move around dressed like that... doesn't he get tired?"

As Manjoume stepped into the arena, the crowd gradually began to gather.

Everyone is looking forward to the exciting performance that will follow.

"Hmm? Manjoume, are you planning to act as the referee instead of participating yourself?"

Seeing Manjou's actions, Yusei asked with some curiosity.

"Of course... Dressed like this, it's difficult for me to move around, how could I possibly go down to the arena to duel! I can only be a referee."

Glancing at the crowd that had followed, Manjoume then shouted to the onlookers, "Hey! Is there any fearless monster who dares to challenge our Osiris Red Demon King?"

Pointing to Yusei beside him, Manjoume gestured with his neck: "Let me see how many brave fellows are here."

Manjoume is in charge of being the referee, while Hayato and Sho are responsible for the work behind the scenes, so they cannot participate in the match.

Besides them, the only remaining candidates are Jaden Yuki and Asuka...

"Asuka...look over here~ cheese!"

——Crack!

"……elder brother?!"

Holding the camera in one hand, Tenjōin Fubuki, who had just captured Asuka's cosplay pose on film, shrugged happily and teased, "Oh my~ really, in the blink of an eye, my little sister has grown into such a beauty. It's truly amazing!"

"My brother is really happy!"

"Brother, that photo... delete it!" Asuka, blushing and angry, stared at Tenjouin Fubuki, who was putting on a nonchalant attitude, and subtly raised the eagle claw of her cosplay costume.

"Huh? No way... I was planning to share it with the members of the Asuka Fan Club~!"

"FAN Club? I've never heard of such a thing! Brother, explain this to me!"

“Hey~!”

Tenjōin Fubuki playfully stuck out her tongue, then blinked and decisively made her escape.

As long as I run fast enough, fate will always be one step behind me!

Hehe! I'm outta here~~~

"Brother, stop right there!"

Asuka, who had been slightly stunned for a moment, watched Tenjōin Fubuki run away at lightning speed before immediately taking off after her...

"Fubuki... is this really her personality?"

After watching the entire sibling comedy routine, Yuki Judai and Yusei looked at each other with astonished expressions and asked the same question.

Where did Darkness Fubuki, who was determined to fight to the death and would drag others down with her even in defeat, go?

Is this person really not possessed?

403 Black Magician Girl: I've Become a Stand?

As the sounds of chasing and playing gradually faded into the distance, Asuka Tenjouin and Fubuki Tenjouin also left the place one after the other.

Those who remained watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, their faces showing a bewildered and speechless expression.

However, the mess quickly dissipated.

Although Tenjouin Fubuki's true personality has many aspects that are worthy of criticism, the focus right now is on the grand finale cosplay event.

After Manjoume, acting as the referee, announced Yusei's name, the onlookers all wore expressions of disbelief...

"Damn it... the opponent is that Yusei!"

"What?! Yusei? You're not talking about that ruthless guy who almost single-handedly defeated the Seven Star King, are you?"

"Holy crap! Really?... If we let him go, what's the point of fighting?!"

"That bastard Manjoume..."

"I'm outta here... This isn't a place for me..."

Upon hearing Manjou's provocative shout, some of the people who had initially been eager to try their luck immediately began to rub their hands together, ready to give him a taste of his own medicine and slap him in the face on the spot.

However, after seeing Yusei dressed as Albus in his villainous cosplay, these "heroes" immediately had the idea of ​​retreating.

His appearance exuded an ominous aura, and his attire resembled that of the Grim Reaper…

No matter how you look at it, there's a bad feeling about it.

Do you think we're just wasting our time being to become someone else's experience point?

They were not interested in duels whose outcome was already certain.

Whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going!

Many people shared this view, so after Manjoume shouted, the crowd didn't rush to move, but instead showed subtle expressions and gathered around the dueling arena.

Everyone was waiting for the one who dared to stick his neck out to be killed by Yusei; no one wanted to be the first to step up.

"What's wrong? Is nobody willing to go up?"

Glancing at the crowd, Yusei walked to the arena and asked calmly, "As a duelist, how can you not dare to face a duel?"

The people here are not only the students of Osiris Red, but also the elites of Sun God Yellow and Obelisk Blue.

It's understandable that the bottom-ranked players in Osiris Red don't dare to take the lead.

But the elite class, such as the Yellow Sun God and even the Blue Obelisk, also seemed hesitant. Isn't that a bit too much?

You guys are the face of Duel Academy!

Don't you have any self-respect?!

Yusei spotted many familiar faces in the crowd.

The familiarity here refers to those entities he had repeatedly farmed as experience points...

Those past victims, upon seeing Yusei, this demon, seemed to have their PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) triggered, trembling with fear. They even struggled to stand, let alone fight... No chance!

"Haha... Is this really the result?" After glancing at the crowd around him, Yuki Judai sighed slightly and then decided to volunteer.

Although he has never won a match against Yusei, that doesn't stop him from challenging the Wailing Wall of Despair time and time again.

Every failure and setback he experienced led to his growth.

In his constant battles with Yusei, Jaden Yuki's personal strength has also been greatly enhanced.

If he were to face Caesar now, the outcome would be very uncertain.

Last time, we were unilaterally crushed by Cyber ​​Dragon. Now, we should be able to tie the game, right?

Of course, this is all predicated on Caesar's side not using [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity]...

If the initial move is blocked, then there's no chance at all.

A man like Caesar won't give you a second chance.

"...Um, I want to duel too!"

Just as Judai Yuki raised his right hand, intending to suggest that he go up, a clear and melodious voice echoed in the temporary dueling arena before he could.

Judging from that voice, it seems to be a cute girl?

"Oh? There's a challenger... and she's a girl?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned their gaze toward the direction from which it came.

Then, they saw the figure of the [Black Magic Girl] who had appeared there at some unknown time.
