Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Looking at the cards that Marufuji Sho was showing, not only Kenzan, who was his opponent, but also the others watching from the sidelines were stunned and subconsciously repeated the name of the trap card.

Just as Marufuji Sho said, Kenzan's actions were completely superfluous...

If he doesn't choose to destroy Marufuji Sho's face-down card, then this "Troublemaker" card will never be activated.

Once this card is activated, Marufuji Sho will gain an effect that allows him to unconditionally Special Summon a monster from his Deck or Extra Deck... It's practically free!

"Damn it! I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve... Senior Marufuji Sho, you're really despicable!" Kenzan gritted his teeth in resentment, realizing he had miscalculated, and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

He then realized that Marufuji Sho's earlier show of weakness was a deliberate attempt to lead him to destroy the card.

"Hehehe...Thanks for the compliment!"

Marufuji Sho managed to turn the tide, his brows slightly relaxed, and he forced Kenzan's negative comments to be taken as compliments.

While unexpectedly dealing with the troublesome and uncertain factor of [Dinosaur Wrestler Pankrasin Ceratops], Marufuji Sho also gained a special summon opportunity.

The outcome of this duel could very well change as a result.

"...Based on the effect of 'Troublesome Snake,' I choose to Special Summon this card from my Extra Deck!"

Opening the external card pack containing his deck from his waist, Marufuji Sho slammed one of the cards onto his Duel Disk: "Appear! The ultimate, doomed robot fortress—[Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base]!!!"

-

[Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base]

(Mechanical/Earth/10-star/Attack: 0/Defense: 5000)

Blending/Effects:

"Machine" Fusion Monster + "Machine" Monster

The effect of this card's name ① can only be used once per turn.

①: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Special Summon 1 "Machine" monster from your Deck or Extra Deck with ATK equal to or less than that monster's ATK.

②: During your or your opponent's End Phase, you can target 1 "Machine" monster in your Main Monster Zone other than this card; return that monster to its owner's hand, and move this card's position to that monster's Zone.

-

The earth roared with a deafening sound, and amidst Marufuji Sho's shouts, a colossal mecha city, brimming with technological sophistication, appeared behind him.

The towering giant tower began to transform, eventually becoming the Optimus Prime, a super transportation robot.

"It's a card I've never seen before... Sho! Was he hiding his strength?"

With her head held high, Tenjouin Fubuki, who was acting as the referee, couldn't help but exclaim this as she looked at the monster.

Naturally, the monster is in a defensive stance.

Although its attack power is 0, its defense power reaches an astonishing 5000 points!

Even if Obelisk the Blue Colossus were here, it would not be able to easily penetrate its solid defenses under normal circumstances.

This monster truly lives up to its name of being utterly annihilated.

"Defense power... 5000?! Tsk... I'll set up two cards to ambush you. End of turn!"

Also surprised by the monster summoned by Marufuji Sho, Kenzan clicked his tongue and then decisively covered up two cards, ending his turn.

"My turn, draw a card!" Seizing the initiative of the turn, as if he had the entire world in his grasp, Marufuji Sho's eyes narrowed, and he raised his arm to point at the massive fortress on his field: "...Sword Mountain, targeting your [Dark Tyrannosaurus Rex] (ATK: 2600), I activate the first effect of [Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base]!"

"...At this point, I can Special Summon 'Machine' monsters with 2600 or less ATK from my Deck and Extra Deck!"

"...What?! Skipping Fusion again, pulling monsters directly from the Extra Deck?"

"Debut from the Extra Deck! [Double Bicycle Robot] (ATK: 1600)!!!"

A tandem bicycle, capable of direct attacks and even capable of killing its opponent in special circumstances, jumped out of the launch port of the [Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base].

The monster that appeared on Marufuji Sho's field had a sleepy, hazy look in its eyes.

"Mechs also have their own battlegrounds! I'm going in! Field Spell Card - [Giant Mech City] activated!"

As Yuki Judai's number one underling, Marufuji Sho was naturally influenced by what he saw and heard.

Following Kenzan's tone and sentence structure, he simultaneously shouted out the corresponding words and placed the Field Spell Card in his hand into the Extra Field area of ​​the Duel Disk.

Amidst the gray and white steel and concrete that filled everyone's eyes, the futuristic city that rose from the ground was revealed to them.

Small flying machines drifting around, transparent displays floating in mid-air, and trams occasionally passing by on the aerial maglev track overhead...

Faintly, one could still hear broadcasting from afar.

In the blink of an eye, the scene transformed from the simple Osiris Red Dormitory to a futuristic city overrun by robots and monsters.

【Giant Robot City】

(Field Spell Card)

You can only use each of the card's ① and ② effects once per turn. During the turn these effects are activated, you cannot Special Summon a monster from the Extra Deck unless it is a Fusion Monster.

①: You can target 1 card on your field other than this card; destroy that card and add 1 "Machine" card from your Deck to your hand.

②: When your "Machine" monster battles, you can send 1 "Machine" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect. That battling monster's original ATK and DEF are swapped only during that damage calculation.

"I set a trap card, and activate the first effect of [Giant Machine City] to destroy the trap card. I then select one [Machine] monster from my Deck and add it to my hand! I choose to search for [Dragon Machine] (Machine/WIND/Level 8/ATK: 2900/DEF: 1000)!"

"At that very moment, I activated the effect of the face-down card that was just destroyed and sent to the Graveyard—[Magic Garage]. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Machine-Type monster with [Machine] in its name from my hand! I choose to Special Summon the Level 4 WIND Machine-Type monster in my hand—[Blender] (DEF: 2200)!"

By making full use of the chain effects between cards, Marufuji Sho not only Special Summoned the anthropomorphic green cement mixer, but also precisely retrieved a brand new "Machine" monster from his deck.

"Goodness... are you planning to hog the exhibition?"

"That's right! I'll decide the outcome this turn!" Giving a definite answer to Kenzan's question, Marufuji Sho immediately grasped the [Dragon Machine] he had previously searched for and activated its effect: "Discard this card from your hand. I can choose one of two effects to activate: either... search for one [Machine] monster in my Deck other than WIND, or... grant me a Fusion Resistance, so that my Fusion Summon this turn won't be negated, and my opponent can't activate any card effects when I successfully Fusion Summon!"

Kenzan: "So, what's your choice?"

Marufuji Sho: "Of course—we should decisively choose to search!"

As he said this, Marufuji Sho reached out and flipped open his deck, accurately retrieving a [Machine] monster and holding it in his hand: "Using the effect of [Dragon Machine], I retrieved [Express Machine] from my deck and summoned it directly!"

With its phoenix-shaped eyes and a purple-white exterior, the train-shaped robot monster, carrying two carriages behind it, departed from the aerial tracks of the giant robot city and descended in front of Marufuji Sho at high speed.

479 Ultimate Six-for-One Exchange

Through repeated searches and Special Summoning, Marufuji Sho has now gathered a total of four robot monsters on his field, including [Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base] (DEF: 5000), [Dual Bicycle Robot] (ATK: 1600), [Blender Robot] (DEF: 2200), and [Express Robot] (DEF: 1600)!

Using the fortress, which could be described as an impenetrable wall, as a base, Marufuji Sho erected a solid defense in front of him.

"If the effect of [Express Machine] is activated, and this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, I can add two [Machine] monsters other than [Express Machine] from my Graveyard to my hand. I choose [First Aid Machine] which was previously destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, and [Dragon Machine] which I just discarded, and recycle these two cards from the Graveyard!"

As he said this, Marufuji Sho reached into the graveyard of the Duel Disk and took the two cards that had been sent to the graveyard earlier.

"...Next, I activate the effect of [Blender Man] in my hand, Tribute it, and Special Summon [Police Car Man] (ATK: 1200) from my Deck!"

"A police car robot? If I remember correctly, this monster seems to have...?" Asuka's face showed a look of realization as she looked at the card that Marufuji Sho had added to his hand.

This card does indeed have an effect that is very suitable for activation at this time.

"That's right, the [Police Car Robot] has the ability to confirm the opponent's backcourt card!"

In response to Asuka's question, Marufuji Sho immediately waved his arm and placed the card on the Duel Disk to summon it, activating the monster's effect: "[Police Car Robot] effect activated! Once per turn, check a hidden card on your opponent's field, and after checking, return it to its original form."

"...Kenzan, let me see your backcourt!"

After saying this, the police car robot, following Marufuji Sho's instructions, shone its searchlights toward Kenzan's back area.

With this action, a card hidden in the back row of the Sword Mountain was also flipped over.

"Let me see, the face-down card is—the trap card [Jurassic Impact]?!"

"...This card's effect can be activated when your LP is lower than your opponent's, destroying all monsters on the field. For each monster destroyed by this effect, the controller of that monster takes 1000 damage. Neither player can Normal or Special Summon monsters until the end of their next turn."

Kenzan only has one Dark Tyrannosaurus Rex in Attack Position on his field, while Marufuji Sho has several times more monsters on his field.

In other words, as long as Kenzan's life points are lower than Marufuji Sho's life points, he can activate this card directly during the battle phase to summon a meteorite that falls from the sky and smashes Marufuji Sho into an abyss of no return.

Both players will not only suffer effect damage based on the number of monsters on their field, but will also be affected by a series of negative effects from Meteor Shower. They cannot perform Summon or Special Summon until the end of each other's turn...

You could say this card is specifically designed to surprise the recipient!

"How about it? Senior Marufuji Sho, do you still dare to attack now? After summoning so many monsters, you've become quite hesitant!"

Seeing that the carefully concealed card information had been exposed by his opponent, Kenzan stopped trying to hide it any longer.

Facing Marufuji Sho, who was staring at the card in silence, he smirked smugly and unleashed a wide-range taunt.

Hehehe... I'm standing right here and not moving! Come on over if you dare!

"...As long as you keep your life points above 1400, right? That way, your trap cards won't be able to activate, right?"

"Hmm? Well... that's right..."

After carefully reviewing the effects of the trap cards and repeatedly confirming the information, Marufuji Sho then voiced his question to Kenzan.

After a moment of surprise, Kenzan on the other side also subconsciously gave an affirmative answer.

"Then, things are simple!"

Having received Kenzan's approval, Marufuji Sho, eager for victory, began to think at an unprecedentedly high speed.

For him, this may be one of the few times in his life when he has given it his all!

"...Activate the Magic Card [Transportation Robot Connection Zone]!"

"Send the Fusion Material Monsters listed on the 'Transporter' Fusion Monster Card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, then Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from your Extra Deck. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by card effects, nor can their effects be negated!"

Holding the two "Machine" monsters, Dragon Machine and Ambulance, which he had previously retrieved from the Graveyard, along with three other "Machine" monster cards from his Duel Disk, including Bicycle, Police Car, and Express Train, Marufuji Sho, who had a vague grasp of the essence of Jaden Yuki's card-loss strategy and whose eyes were filled with determination and will, sent all six cards, including the Fusion Spell Card "Transportation Machine Link Zone," to the Graveyard in one go!

"I will send my hand and the five [Machine] monsters on the field to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials to perform the Ultimate Fusion Summon!" In front of Marufuji Sho, a series of huge viaducts appeared, and in the center of these viaducts was a connecting area used to change the direction of the train.

The five robot monsters, which served as the fusion material, rushed towards the connecting area from various locations, and finally merged into one in a burst of light after a loud bang!

"Look! Kenzan! This is my final trump card!" With a sudden wave of his hand, Marufuji Sho pulled out a Level 12 ultimate card from his Extra Deck: "Descend! The ultimate god who brings fear and destruction to the world—[Extreme Fighter King War God Machine]!!!"
