Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Zero, didn't you always deny that you were doing any kind of action duel?" Yuya Sakaki asked, looking at the man chasing closely behind him.

"Ha...that's a completely different matter from winning or losing!"

Even while running, Ling'er did not forget to maintain his elegance. He unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, finding a very reasonable excuse for his behavior.

"Well, I'm very happy that you're enjoying action duels!"

"I didn't enjoy it at all, okay?!"

"Don't say that~~ We came from the same world and have been fighting together ever since!"

"Yuya..."

"Yosh! Got it! I'm activating my Action Spell Card [Little Bomb], dealing 100 points of damage to Zero!"

"...Gu!"

……

"So... after winning the final duel, you obtained the [Creation End Dragon], which possesses the power to change fate?"

Upon hearing this, Yusei asked Sakaki Yuya, who was opposite him.

"Well... I guess so. I did get that card, and as the winner, I have the right to do with it as I please... But after thinking about it, I still plan to tear it up because... and we don't need this kind of card. The future is something we have to create ourselves!"

He had acquired a treasure beyond the imagination of others, but he didn't want that power...

With a casual tone, Yuya Sakaki uttered words that greatly surprised the two of them.

"...So, you really tore it up?"

After working hard for a long time, you end up with nothing. Even as a listener, it's hard not to feel speechless about this.

Yusei raised an eyebrow and asked.

"That's the problem..."

With his right index finger and thumb supporting his chin, Yuya Sakaki continued, "Just as I was about to do that, a person named Yoshida suddenly appeared before us. Claiming to be the creator, he showed me some scenes that were about to happen in the future."

"Yoshida...does he still have a future? Could it be..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, Yusei couldn't help but repeat the keywords.

Could this Yoshida be that Yoshida Shin?

It's that A5 Manga writer who forced a surprise at the end, turning the female lead, Yuzu, into the male lead's mother...

If that's the case, then Yusei can probably understand Sakaki Yuya's feelings.

My girlfriend turned out to be my mom, my dad secretly made a fool of himself, my mom isn't Yoko Sakaki but Yuzu Sakaki, actually my three Yu brothers and I are all Yuzu's biological sons, and my current girlfriend is actually my mom who traveled from the future to the present, Tyrannosaurus Rex Zack and Yuzu Four don't exist, I, Yuya Sakaki, am just a pitiful wretch who did all the work for someone else...

Hahahahahahahahaha...

What kind of insane plot is this?

Is this something a carbon-based organism could come up with?

"I had a dream in which my childhood sweetheart, Yuzu, went to a faraway place, and I could never see her again..."

"I had promised to be a lecturer at her father's private school, and after making a promise to meet her again, what awaited me was a future that I could not accept!"

As if he had thought of something bad, Yuya Sakaki's forehead suddenly appeared covered in black lines, and even the smile on his face seemed to solidify into a mask of pain.

"...Unacceptable? Just how unacceptable is it?"

Curious, Yuki Jaden casually asked a question.

Although he didn't know much about matters of the heart, seeing Yuya in such pain must be something very difficult to accept.

"Um... to put it simply..." After a moment of hesitation and a conflicted expression on his face, Yuya Sakaki slowly began to speak: "When you find out that your girlfriend is your mother... what will you think? Will you want to destroy this messed-up world?"

Jaden Yuki: "???"

Youxing: “…”

Is that really the case?

"You can't understand it, can you? I can't understand it either..."

Seeing the string of question marks above Jaden Yuki's head, Yuya Sakaki chuckled self-deprecatingly, then pulled a card from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of him.

Then, Yuya Sakaki pointed his finger towards the card: "After learning about my future, I thought about using the power of this card to change my impending fate and get everything back on track. Therefore, I gave up the idea of ​​tearing it up... Thinking about it, I should thank that guy for letting me know about my future!"

Yusei: "Uh..."

Not knowing what to say, Yusei could only shrug helplessly.

"...At that time, I had two paths before me. One was to deal with the creator behind GOD, such as Yoshida. The other was to use this power to guide the world in the right direction, so that my father, Yusuke Sakaki, and my mother, Yoko Ryusei, could meet, and then I, who was born from them, could reunite with Yuzu. In this way, we could usher in the best future."

"【Genesis End Dragon】, this is the card that can determine the future of this world... and my last hope to change my fate!"

Yusei and Jaden Yuki were both drawn to the card that Yuya Sakaki took out.

Just from the card's artwork, they could feel a powerful aura that surpassed most other cards.

"So the person you're chasing is that Yoshida, right? And the deck he uses is the Fusion Parasite deck that you intend to destroy..."

Analyzing the preceding and following statements, Yusei revealed his guess.

"Hmm...that's about it."

Nodding in affirmation to Yusei's words, Yuya Sakaki, having filled his stomach, stood up and said, "That guy has already been injured by me. He can't have gone far. Duelists are attracted to each other... I can sense that he's hiding nearby!"

"After eliminating that guy and removing the last threat, I will return to my world and use this power to rewrite the world to steer my future in the right direction!"

"Anyway... you're looking for that guy, right? In that case, let's help!"

Extending his arm, the enthusiastic and quick-witted Jaden Yuki immediately suggested to Yuya Sakaki, "Perfect timing! I also want to see the power of that guy who calls himself the Creator!"

"Well, I'll help too. Duel Academy's island isn't that big, and he can't go too far in a short time." Feeling sympathy for Yuya Sakaki's plight, Yusei decided to do what he could.

"Oh! It would be great if you could help me!"

He pulled out a sword-like duel disk from his robes, placed it on his left arm, and, wielding his cloak, charged straight towards the direction he vaguely sensed: "Well then, let's get going!"

Following behind Yuya Sakaki, Yusei and Jaden Yuki also stepped into the depths of the jungle.

As if guided by a built-in navigator, Yuya Sakaki, with a clear goal in mind, rushed straight ahead in a certain direction.

Although Yuya Sakaki said before setting off that he needed Yusei and the others to help him find people, judging from this situation, it seems that Yusei and the others won't need to do anything; they can just follow behind and watch the show.

"Sure enough, my hunch was right, it's going in this direction!"

Yuya Sakaki, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped and looked at a place hidden by the dense forest: "Come out, stop hiding, I can see you."

"..."

There was no response, as if no one was there.

"Hmm? Is there some mistake? There doesn't seem to be a reply." Not noticing any change, Jaden Yuki said, "Should I... go and take a look?"

"……Need not."

With his right arm blocking Jaden Yuki's advance, Yuya Sakaki slowly shook his head: "That guy is a bit too dangerous for ordinary people. It's better if you just watch from the sidelines."

"Oh oh oh oh..."

Seeing that Yuya Sakaki said this, Jaden Yuki couldn't say anything more.

After scratching his head in confusion, he returned to Yusei's side and stood with him not far behind Sakaki Yuya.

"...Reverse Scale Mode, activated!"

He muttered a somewhat cryptic phrase, and the aura surrounding Yuya Sakaki underwent a dramatic change.

His hair stood on end, his pupils turned a blood-red color, and faint black mist began to rise around his body.

If before this, Yuya Sakaki could be considered a chuunibyou (delusional) teenager with an innocent heart, then now he has completely transformed into a rebellious fang that has struggled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Just by standing here, one can feel an irresistible pressure emanating from him.

"I'll count to three. If you don't come out by then, I won't be polite."

Raising his arm, Yuya Sakaki made this announcement with a blank expression.

In his outstretched palm, a ball of destructive energy, carrying the power of a tyrant's rebellion, began to gather.

"Hmm... If I hadn't witnessed the Dark Duel, I would have thought I was dreaming..."

Seeing the changes in Yuya Sakaki and the powerful pressure emanating from him, Judai Yuki was surprised and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Is this... a move to skip the card-playing phase and jump straight into beating mode?" Yusei held his right arm in front of him to shield himself from the gusts of wind blowing in their direction, a look of interest on his face.

Having inherited the soul of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Yuya Sakaki gained the power to rewrite the world after winning the final battle.

If that's the case, and he makes a move here...

"Gu...Sakaki Yuya..."

"You're really troublesome!"

Finally, it seemed that they sensed the life-threatening crisis they were facing.

Accompanied by a voice filled with anger and incomprehension, a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe, wearing square-framed glasses, and with a futuristic appearance, slowly emerged from the dense forest and came before the crowd.

On the corners of his mouth and the sides of his stomach, Yusei and the others could faintly seep out red blood.

Clearly, this is the damage that Yuya Sakaki mentioned earlier, and the man in front of him is the one Yuya Sakaki has been searching for, who calls himself Yoshida, gave Yuya Sakaki the Apocalypse, and controls the Parasite deck.

"Hmph! You're quite good at running away... Even now, you don't really think you still have a chance, do you?"

Putting away the energy ball that emanated a terrifying pressure, Yuya Sakaki then raised his Duel Disk: "Since you obediently came out, how about this... I'll give you a chance to duel with me!"

"If you win, I'll let you go. As for if you lose... heh, I won't need to do anything. You'll be eliminated anyway, right?"

"Tsk...a duel?"

Yoshida smacked his lips, but did not give an immediate reply. At that moment, he had a rather annoyed expression on his face.

The reason he, as a member of the Creator Group, ended up in such a sorry state is ultimately because he underestimated Sakaki Yuya's strength and determination.
