Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

……

"Judai, so you think the same way I do? You also believe that Manjoume's card is still somewhere on the island."

“Well, since Manjoume said he threw the three brothers into the sea, then we should search in that direction. I believe those cards that house the spirits are not too far from the Duel Academy.”

"Big brother... you don't actually want those weird disruptive monsters, do you? To be honest, those things don't fit into your Hero Deck at all!"

"That's not it, Kenzan! I just think it's wrong for Manjoume to throw away cards like trash."

After saying goodbye to Edward, Yusei and his group decided to go and find the card that Manjoume had discarded.

Around the Duel Academy, there are whirlpools and currents of varying sizes. As a result, many things left on the beach will eventually return to some dark cave or rock cave on the island after going around in circles, thus completing a cycle.

Instead, it didn't sink directly to the bottom of the sea as Manjoume said.

Like the dry well where everyone picked up the cards earlier, it's a place where the ocean current flows back.

The card that was discarded by Manjoume most likely circled in the sea and eventually returned to a remote place like this.

"It's been so long, who knows where it drifted off to? Is it really possible to find it?" Following behind Yusei and Jaden Yuki, Kenzan, scratching his face, couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

"Don't worry about that, I have a reliable guide."

Giving Kenzan a reassuring look, Jaden Yuki glanced at the aibo beside him out of the corner of his eye—[Winged Kuriboh].

As a spirit, Kuriboh possesses perception far exceeding that of ordinary people, so there's absolutely no need to worry about everyone wandering around aimlessly like headless flies...

587 Moon Resurrection

Using Kuriboh's senses as a Pokémon, Yusei and his friends quickly found the Disruption Brothers, who had drifted here with the ocean current, in the dry well where they had previously searched for cards.

Incidentally, when Yusei and Jaden Yuki discovered these clowns, they were being held in the hands of a group of crabs, just one step away from their tragic fate of being split in two by the crab claws.

Enduring the wailing and howling of the three brothers who were in danger, Jaden Yuki, with his ears covered, painedly rescued them from the crab's grasp and then took them back to Osiris Red's dormitory.

As Yusei and his group returned to their dormitory, Daitokuji-sensei, who had lost his body in the Seven Stars Incident and whose soul now resided in the Pharaoh's belly as a ball of light, also appeared in spirit form with great interest. Together with Yusei and his group, he engaged in an inhumane act of watching the three brothers who were causing trouble.

Naturally, the sudden appearance of Master Daitokuji also brought quite a shock to everyone. The timid Marufuji Sho immediately hid under the bed with lightning speed, trembling and sticking his buttocks out...

As for the fact that he himself had not perished, the answer that Master Daitokuji gave to everyone was—

"Originally, I should have disappeared, but just as I was about to become a Buddha, the Pharaoh swallowed me whole. So now, the Pharaoh's belly is where I reside, meow~"

Jaden Yuki: "Is...that's how it is?"

&^【)}

Yusei: "So... he's dead, but not completely dead. Daitokuji-sensei is in such a strange state right now, right?"

Master Daitokuji: "That's how it is, meow~"

Waving his fingers, Master Daitokuji gave an affirmative answer to Yusei's question.

Now in his spirit form, he cannot stay in the outside world for long, and his activities are limited to the area around the Pharaoh. Therefore, he cannot move freely as he used to.

However, even in this incomplete state, it is enough for Master Daitokuji, who has already died once.

"Ahhh~~~ Thank you so much, Judai-sama! Thanks to you for saving us brothers from the crab's clutches, we were able to get back to the dorm unharmed!"

"No need to thank me. I'm having a duel with Manjoume tomorrow, so I'll just return you to him then."

While everyone was chatting idly, Huang, who was causing trouble, opened his sausage-like mouth, vulgarly wiggled his buttocks, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the ten representatives of Youcheng.

Hearing Disruption Yellow's words, Jaden Yuki, sitting at the table, smiled faintly, gave the Disruption brothers a reassuring look, and told them about his plans for tomorrow.

Yusei was in charge of Asuka's side, while he was in charge of Manjoume's side.

Yuki Judai intended to use this duel to completely awaken Manjoume, who had been bewitched by Saiō.

Disruptive Yellow: "Huh? Young Master Judai and Brother Manjoume are going to have a duel?"

Disruptive Black: "But... judging by his current state, we'll be abandoned by him again very soon!"

Disrupting Green: "Ahhh~~ Brother Manjoume, ever since his duel with Saiou, his entire personality has completely changed..."

"Is that so? In that case..."

Stroking his chin, Jaden Yuki thought for a moment and then suggested to his brothers who were causing trouble, "In that case, you should also participate in tomorrow's duel!"

"Hey???"

"If it were you guys, you might be able to bring Manjoume back to his senses!" Jaden Yuki said with a bright smile as he moved closer to the three brothers who were disturbing the peace.

"That's true... but we're all just ordinary people with zero attack power. Even if we summon them, they'll be killed instantly..."

"Yes, I'm most afraid of pain..."

Disruption Black and Disruption Green shrank back, revealing a timid expression.

As they said, being mere mortals, they could at most serve as meat shields, blocking one attack from the opponent for Jaden Yuki.

"Brothers, what are you talking about!"

Seeing his two older brothers backing down, Huang, who was feeling frustrated and disappointed, had a rare serious expression on his usually comical face: "Young Master Judai's deck is a Hero deck! That means we can fight alongside the heroes, right? Why refuse such an opportunity?"

"Hero...?"

"So...maybe we can become heroes too?"

Upon hearing their younger brother's words, Disruptive Black and Disruptive Green were immediately stunned, and then uncontrollably began to imagine what it would be like for them to become heroes.

Yellow, green, and black!

We are... the "Great Hero" who disrupted the Three Brothers!

"Hehehe~~~"

"Hehehe...we're heroes too~~"

Imagining themselves as heroes saving the world, the brothers couldn't help but reveal villainous, wicked smiles on their faces.

Combined with their crude appearance, the scene was undeniably somewhat eerie no matter how you looked at it...

"No, that's not how it is!"

"Hey???"

Seeing the smug looks on the faces of the Disruption Brothers, Jaden Yuki, with a bead of sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but wave his hand. Yusei, who was watching the Disruption Brothers' performance, shrugged and then showed a rather speechless expression.

……

"Well then, it's time to set off!"

"Ah! Judai... Let us each achieve our goals!"

The next morning, having made preparations, Jaden Yuki went to Manjoume's room in Osiris Red and retrieved the black uniform he had left there.

After adding the Disruptors to his deck and casually draping his black uniform over his arm, Jaden Yuki walked towards the Duel Academy, intending to prepare for his duel with Manjoume.

At the same time, Yusei also put on his Duel Disk and turned his gaze toward the Society of Light.

This is the moment to reclaim what has been lost.

While Jaden Yuki is dealing with Manjou's goal, Yusei will also go to save his girl, Tenjouin Asuka, and rescue her from the false light of destruction!

After exchanging a fist bump to express their determination, the two heroes embarked on their journey to rescue their comrades without hesitation...

……

"Too slow, Judai! And what is that black uniform you're wearing?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry~ Before coming here, I took a slightly detour and found your uniform that you left in the red dormitory~"

At the entrance of the Duel Academy, Manjoume, who had been waiting there, couldn't help but complain when he saw Jaden Yuki arriving late.

Behind Jaden Yuki were his two henchmen, Kenzan Delano and Sho Marufuji, who were hiding in a trash can.

In response to Manjoume's complaints, Judai Yuki raised his arm and spread out the black uniform that Manjoume used to wear in front of him, waving it around and saying, "Manjoume, compared to the white trench coat you're wearing now, I still think this black one suits you better, so I brought it with me!"

"Judai...you brat, what nonsense are you spouting! This white uniform is my symbol of loyalty to the Society of Light! How could I possibly take it off!"

Waving his arms, he stared intently at the black-uniformed Manjoume in Jaden Yuki's hand, expressing a strong sense of rejection.

However, as he shouted this, a strong sense of incongruity suddenly and uncontrollably rose from the depths of his heart.

"...Ugh!!!"

"What's going on? This intense psychological shock, and this familiar aura..."

From the black uniform in Judai's hand, Manjoume sensed an aura that felt incredibly familiar and nostalgic.

Sensing this strange aura, Manjōme gritted his teeth uncontrollably and clutched his chest tightly.

An indescribable sorrow was welling up from Wan Zhangmu's heart.

Driven by this emotion, Manjoume's expression began to twist slightly.

It was as if a huge hole had opened up in his heart, desperately needing something crucial to fill it...

"...Is that so? If you change your mind, then come and change anytime!"

"Stop with the nonsense! Let's get down to business! Today, I'm going to settle our score right here and now!"

Shaking his head violently, forcibly suppressing the rage surging within him, Manjoume irritably raised his arm and unfolded the Duel Disk in his hand: "Come on, Judai!...Duel!"

"Ah! Let's begin!"

Jaden Yuki casually draped Manjoume's black uniform over a stone monument by the roadside, then raised his arm, pointing his card deck at his face: "Disruption, brothers, I'm counting on you. If we win this duel, Manjoume might come to his senses... Your actions will change the outcome of this duel!"

The three brothers, disturbed by the noise, exclaimed: "...Ohhhhh!!! Just leave it to us!"

After exchanging words, Jaden Yuki immediately put his deck into the Duel Disk and unfolded it in front of him: "Duel!"

(Manjoume LP: 4000)

(Yujo Judai LP: 4000)

"I'll attack first, draw a card!"

Narrowing his eyes, Manjou forcefully drew a card from his deck and slammed it onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Swordsman of the White Knights] in Attack Position (ATK: 1200)!"

A white cloak fluttered in the wind, and the swordsman holding a crescent blade appeared in front of Manjoume as soon as Manjoume's voice fell.
