Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

On the other hand, unlike Daichi Misawa who went astray, a certain man during this period could be said to have captured everyone's attention.

That man was—the vengeful demon god who had risen from the depths of darkness! Hell's Caesar Ryou!

Having survived the underworld and returned to the professional league, Caesar has shed the naivety of his Duel Academy days.

After shedding his blue and white uniform and donning a black trench coat that suited his dark side, Caesar not only gained a huge boost in style, but his combat power also increased exponentially at a visible speed!

Fusion and Xyz constantly transformed in his hands, and Caesar, whose strength had greatly increased, slaughtered his opponents with a bloodthirsty smile, sending them to the hospital time and time again...

Even after regaining his former status, Caesar still had no intention of stopping his advance.

Forward, forward, ever forward!

After struggling desperately and witnessing the scenes of hell, Caesar Ryo, stimulated by the sights, finally realized what he had always truly longed for.

That's exactly...

An endless thirst for power, for victory!

He was Julius Caesar, the Emperor! He wanted to win, to win against everyone! He never wanted to feel that sense of powerlessness again!

Therefore, what he has now is far from enough; he must find a way to obtain entirely new power!

The electronic dragon possesses endless possibilities.

Just as there is "infinity" ahead of "Nova", there must be a whole new path of evolution for the Cyber ​​Dragon!

"...I'll be waiting for you in that place of destiny. If you want to grasp the true essence of electron flow, then come here and have a final duel with me!"

Just as Caesar was having this thought, a letter from Principal Samejima arrived in his hands across the ocean, as if it had been foreseen.

In short, the text written on the letter was a challenge from Caesar's mentor, Principal Samejima.

Before studying at Duel Academy, Caesar was also a student of Principal Samejima, and Caesar's Cyber ​​Dragon deck was inherited from him.

After witnessing his once most prized disciple stray into evil ways and treat his dueling opponents as mere toys, Principal Samejima, unable to contain himself any longer, finally decided to personally teach Caesar a lesson!

He handed over all his work to Tengu Yu, who was temporarily serving as the principal, and then began to make ample preparations for his plan.

Seizing the opportunity presented by Caesar's glorious ten-game winning streak in the professional league, Principal Samejima, realizing that the time was ripe, immediately sent the challenge letter to his disciple.

As Caesar had predicted, upon receiving the letter, a smirk played on his lips before he unhesitatingly shunned the man who had led him into the underground duel, and proceeded with his invitation.

With a determined look on his face, Caesar also set his top priority on the Electronic Flow Dojo where he had once trained.

That is the famous dueling dojo called "Cyber ​​Stream," founded by Samejima, the current principal of the Duel Academy.

At the time, Samejima, who was not yet the principal but a teacher at a normal school, once handed over the dojo's treasure—the Cyber ​​Dragon deck—to his prized student, Ryo Marufuji.

Light and darkness coexist and depend on each other.

Since there is a Cyber ​​Dragon deck that represents the "outer" aspect, there is naturally another Cyber ​​deck that represents the "inner" aspect.

Now, in order to further enhance his strength and obtain the new power mentioned by Samejima... Caesar, returning to his old home, intends to take away the hidden [Reverse Cyber ​​Flow] deck.

"It's been a long time, the dojo of electron flow..."

"Electronic Terminator Dragon, my old friend... let's climb to the next peak together!"

Holding a handwritten letter from Principal Samejima, Caesar traveled by bus, plane, cable car, and other means of transportation to reach his hometown. After hiking over snow-capped mountains, he finally arrived at the Electronic Flow Dojo located at the summit.

Caesar, having removed his mountaineering gear, pushed open the door and entered, immediately saw Principal Samejima waiting there, dressed in a teacher's uniform.

This is the current principal of the Duel Academy, a bald man who always gives off an unreliable impression, and a bald uncle who has an ambiguous relationship with Aunt Domi from the convenience store...

What they were displaying at this moment was a serious demeanor that Yusei and the others had never seen before.

As his most prized student walked in through the door, Principal Samejima raised an eyebrow with a look of emotion: "I've been waiting for you, Marufuji Ryo!"

"It's been a long time, Principal Samejima... no, it should be Samejima Normal School."

The master and apprentice, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, started with the most common greetings.

Just like any ordinary master and disciple, the two walked towards each other without revealing the tense atmosphere one might expect.

"I've already heard about your active performance in the professional league..."

"Since you've heard about it, then you must know that I'm not here for idle chatter, right?"

Caesar, wearing the Duel Disk on his arm, said this, then unfolded the Duel Disk, ready for a duel: "...Duel!"

"Ah, enough said, let the duel begin."

Nodding slightly, Samejima realized that words alone would be ineffective, and decided to convey his thoughts to his disciple during the duel: "...Duel!"

568 is truly devoted to his master.

"—Duel!" ×2

(Principal Samejima's LP: 4000)

(Hell Caesar LP: 4000)

The fateful duel between Principal Samejima and Hell Caesar, a battle wagered on electronic flow, officially began at the dojo atop the snow-capped mountain, just as the two sides had met.

Caesar, who has returned from hell, wants to gain greater power through victory in this duel, while Samejima wants to bring his students, who have gone astray due to their excessive thirst for power, back to the right path.

Both sides have their own firm beliefs and are unwilling to compromise or back down.

Therefore... this duel is unavoidable in any case.

Even if it's just to put their ideas into practice, they must defeat their opponents in a duel and win the final victory!

"My turn, draw a card!"

"...I've placed two cards in ambush. Turn over."

With a wave of his arm, Principal Samejima seized the initiative and drew a brand new card from his deck.

Knowing the effects of the [Cyber ​​Dragon], he did not summon any monsters.

After burying his two cards in the back row, he simply waved his hand and quickly ended his turn.

"Not summoning any monsters, just face-down cards?"

"However, this tactic won't work on me right now!"

Watching Principal Samejima's actions, Caesar frowned, then placed his palm above the deck: "My turn, draw a card!"

The card traced a semi-circular arc in mid-air.

Caesar, having added the card to his hand, wore an expression of unwavering determination.

No matter what, he was determined to defeat the man before him and surpass his master!

In order to obtain another deck for Electronic Flow, to achieve his goal, and to climb to a higher peak, he must win today at all costs!

"I activate the Equip Spell Card from my hand—[Future Fusion]! According to this card's effect, I can send Fusion Material Monsters from my Deck to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!"

Samejima: "What?! It's... Future Fusion?!"

With a smirk, Caesar of Hell revealed his signature cold smile.

Right from the start, he planned to summon his trump card monster to give his master a taste of his own medicine!

The spell card he activated at this moment—[Future Fusion]—was not the nerfed and weakened Continuous Spell Card that required several turns to fully activate after the OCG adaptation. Instead, it was the Equip Spell Card that appeared in the anime, which could activate its effect immediately upon activation and pull out a Fusion Monster from the deck!

Using the effect of [Future Fusion], he can use monsters from his own deck as Fusion Materials to perform Fusion Summoning, and equip this card to the Fusion Summoned monster, thus effectively solving the problem of not having enough materials in his hand.

"Go! I'm sending three Cyber ​​Dragons from my deck to the Graveyard for a Fusion Summon!"

"Hahahaha!!! Come out! My old friend—[Electronic Terminator Dragon]!!!"

Termination, end, conclusion.

Termination, end, destruction.

Silver-white steel wings, accompanied by a fierce storm, unfurled behind Caesar.

The sky roared, and the earth trembled.

In a dazzling white light, accompanied by Caesar's maniacal laughter, three mechanical dragons, each with a different destructive nature, appeared behind Hell Caesar with overwhelming power.

------

【Electronic Terminator Dragon】

(Mechanical/Light/10-star/Attack: 4000/Defense: 2800)

Blending/Effects:

"Electronic Dragon" + "Electronic Dragon" + "Electronic Dragon"

This card cannot be Fusion Summoned without the cards mentioned above.

If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict battle damage equal to the difference between its ATK and its DEF.

------

"Monsters Special Summoned by Future Fusion cannot attack during the turn they are summoned."

Noticing the surprised expression on Principal Samejima's face, Caesar smiled faintly and began to explain the negative effects of the magic cards.

There are currently no monsters on Principal Samejima's field.

The attack power of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] is exactly equal to its health points, both being 4000.

If an attack were possible, then theoretically, the duel would end in Caesar's victory, concluding at the speed of light.

Unfortunately, the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] cannot attack at this moment, and Principal Samejima's field is not completely empty.

Behind him were two cards with unknown details.

Following conventional thinking, among these face-down cards, there must be a card that counters Caesar's trump card—[Cyber ​​Ender Dragon].

"【Electronic Terminator Dragon】...This monster is a testament to our Electron Flow Channel's mastery of all techniques, passed down through generations!"

Looking up at the magnificent body of the Electronic Terminator Dragon, Principal Samejima narrowed his eyes and sighed, "This card... will only be given to those who have reached the pinnacle of mind, skill, and physique."

“However, Ryo... you are only nine years old and you have already qualified to inherit [Cyber ​​End Dragon]. After this card was given to you, Cyber ​​Stream is just a name now.”
