Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

In Jaden Yuki's current mindset, Fusion Summoning is an operation that requires consuming at least three cards from your hand. Because the cost is too high, there are often situations where a duel can only involve one or two Fusion Summonings.

Yusei's ability to unleash a "Rampage Magic Circle" card, use materials from the graveyard for Fusion Summoning, and then recycle the card for the next turn is, in his view, practically cheating.

(Yusei's hand size at this moment: 3)

At this moment, Jaden Yuki had a complex expression on his face.

Shock? Contemplation? Sudden realization? Or all of the above?

In short, it is certain that Yusei's development has opened the door to a new world for Jaden Yuki.

His dueling mindset has been influenced by Yusei.

"Has your older brother always been this frank?" Asuka asked Sho Marufuji, looking at Judai Yuki, who seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

“Judai isn’t my real older brother,” Marufuji Sho said, glancing at Yuki Judai before turning away.

"Huh?" Asuka was somewhat surprised to receive such an unexpected answer from Marufuji Sho.

"How should I put it..."

"He should be the older brother in my heart..."

Marufuji Sho pondered for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly.

"..." Asuka frowned slightly.

She looked at Marufuji Sho's words with a half-understanding expression.

065 You fucking fouled, do you know that?

Not a real older brother, but an older brother in one's heart.

Asuka pondered Marufuji Sho's words.

Sho Marufuji...Marufuji...

This surname seems familiar...

This strangely familiar feeling...

and many more!

That man who uses the Cyber ​​Dragon deck, a third-year student at Duel Academy Obelisk Blue, the true No. 1, known as "Kaiser".

Isn't his name Marufu Ryo?

Could it be that this seemingly unremarkable Marufuji Sho is that man's younger brother?

Thinking of this, Asuka's face showed a look of surprise.

-

Let's shift our perspective back to the dueling arena.

Yusei has completed his deployment and issued an attack command to the monster.

"Fight!"

"Elemental Hero Grandmaster, attack the regenerating zombies!"

"Take this! Lightning Wings Shatter!"

(Flame Winged Man: You bastard, you stole my skills???)

Upon hearing Yusei's command, the magnificent hero, floating in mid-air, stretched out his right hand in the direction of Wan Zhangmu.

A blue lightning ball began to gradually condense on the muzzle of the gun in his right hand.

The lightning ball absorbs elements drawn from the air and slowly grows larger.

At the same time, a golden beam of energy shot out from the barrel of the gun in Hongweixia's hand.

The golden beam of light propelled the cyan lightning ball, instantly piercing through the regenerating zombie and slamming it to the ground.

The moment the lightning ball touched the ground, it burst into a lightning net covering half of the dueling arena.

The regenerating zombie, located at the center of the lightning net and with its chest pierced by a bullet, was completely annihilated into dark dust and vanished from the field.

Although its name contains the word "regeneration," it does not mean that it is immortal.

The effect of 【Regenerated Zombie】 is that it cannot be destroyed by battle when you have 0 cards in your hand.

Wan Zhangmu has 4 cards in his hand, which clearly does not meet this condition.

"Your monster's attack effect is quite good, but my monster is in defense position. Even if it's destroyed by battle, I won't take any damage!"

Manjoume waved his hand away the smoke generated by the monster's destruction, a calm expression on his face.

The panic, worry, and helplessness I felt just now... seemed like an act.

Yusei: "?"

What's wrong with Manjoume? Why does he seem like a completely different person all of a sudden? Yusei wondered.

"What's wrong with Manjoume-san?"

"Could it really be as he just said, that everything is under control?"

When Wan Zhangmu's two henchmen saw his current state, they began to have some doubts.

"I understand! Manjoume has resigned himself to his fate!"

"Seeing that Yusei had summoned such a powerful monster, he felt powerless to deal with it and was already planning to give up."

Noticing the calm expression on Manjoume's face, Marufuji Sho considered this possibility.

"Is that so? There's something strange about Manjoume's attitude!" Judai Yuki stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

"...Could it be?" Asuka seemed to have thought of something.

"Yusei! There's something strange about Manjoume's hand!" Asuka put her hands to her lips and called out to Yusei, who was looking puzzled on the stage.

"!" Wan Zhangmu's face stiffened for a moment.

"?!" Upon hearing Asuka's words, Yusei also realized a certain possibility.

He looked into Wan Zhangmu's hand and saw his cards...

It seems there's an extra one!

It should be the second round now, or Yusei's turn.

After taking the initiative, Manjoume has 6 cards in his hand.

Aside from the [Regenerating Zombie] in the graveyard and the [Hell Aggregator] that is being suppressed on the field, he should have 4 cards left in his hand.

But Yusei clearly saw that Manjoume currently had 5 cards in his hand!

Even though Manjoume overlapped the two cards in his hand, pretending they were one card.

However, as a former veteran of the Yin Coin, Yusei had seen too many despicable methods and naturally could not mistake this tactic.

That guy, Manjōme, is clearly planning to cheat!

In the smoke created by the destruction of the monster, he secretly added a card to his hand when no one was looking.

It doesn't necessarily come from the deck; it could also be taken out of one's pocket.

Judging from Manjoume's calm expression, this card is very likely a card specifically designed for the current situation.

To commit such an insulting act in a duel!

Does such a guy deserve to be called a lone duelist?

"Was it really necessary to do something like this?" Yusei didn't rush to activate the Grand Sage's effect, but instead crossed his arms and asked Manjoume a question.

"Hehe... I don't know what you're talking about?" Wan Zhangmu's face showed a stiff smile. He hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to stick to his guns.

“…Alright then.” Yusei didn’t expose Manjoume’s little trick.

Because, in Yusei's opinion, it doesn't matter what the extra card is.

Manjoume was unaware that his Merkaba on the field could negate and banish card effects once per turn.

"What's wrong! Hurry up and use your Merkaba to attack me directly!" At this moment, Manjoume still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that his clever methods had not yet been exposed.

However, what he didn't know was that his opponent, Yusei, didn't care about that at all.

As an elite of Obelisk Blue, he can't even beat Yusei of Osiris Red by fouling. I really want to see what kind of expression Manjoume will make then!

"Don't rush, Hongwei Xia has a second effect that hasn't been activated yet!"

Yusei waved to Wan Zhangmu, indicating that there was no need to rush.

"When Elemental HERO Grandmaster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, it can Tribute itself to Special Summon 1 Elemental HERO Fusion Monster from its Extra Deck to the field, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

"However, the monsters summoned by this effect cannot attack monsters of a level lower than the summoner's own..."

"However, your field is empty, so this requirement for self-restraint does not apply."

(Self-restriction: As the name suggests, it simply means an effect that is detrimental to oneself and has limitations. For example, after [Red-Eyes Fusion] is activated, one cannot perform any more Summoning or Special Summoning this turn.)

"what!"

"Ignoring the limitations of Fusion Summoning?"

"How could such an outrageous effect occur!"

"We're still in the combat phase, which means..."

Besides Jaden Yuki and Sho Marufuji, who had previously witnessed the magnificent effects of the hero, and Yusei, who was involved in the incident.

Along with Asuka and Manjoume, the others were genuinely surprised by the monster's effects.

During the battle phase, ignore the summoning conditions and Special Summon a Fusion Monster.

What is this concept?

Yusei can freely choose which Elemental HERO Fusion Monster to summon based on the current situation on the field, thus escaping the predicament and allowing him to launch another attack.
