Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Kenzan: "...The White Knights? It's that Monster series that beat the pros!"

"Next, I'll lay a trap, and then the turn ends."

The monster Manjoume has been summoned, but it cannot attack in the first turn.

Therefore, after setting up a hidden card, he simply ended his turn.

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

Taking over the initiative for the turn, Jaden Yuki reached into his deck and drew a new card.

He then placed one of his cards directly onto the Duel Disk: "I summon Elemental HERO Neos in Attack Position (ATK: 1900)."

The new Universe, now a size smaller, appeared on Jaden Yuki's field with a fist clenched, accompanied by a burst of white light from a new universe.

As a 4-star dual monster, the Neo-Ultraman, although it is just a non-functional ordinary monster when it is summoned, has a high attack power of 1900 points, which far exceeds the monster stats of Manjoume!

Manjoume: "A new-generation space warrior? Attack power 1900... Hmph!"

Jaden Yuki: "Next, I activate the Equip Spell Card 'Good Hero' from my hand. According to this card's effect, I can Special Summon one monster with 1000 or less DEF from my Deck and equip this card to it. For each Elemental HERO monster on the field, the equipped monster gains 300 ATK!"

Above the card art of the magic card is the mark of an Elemental Hero shining with golden light.

Using this card's effect, Jaden Yuki can precisely pull a monster with 1000 or less DEF from his deck onto his field.

"Special Summon, appear! [Disruptor Yellow] (ATK: 0)!"

"...Here comes the tenth young master!"

Disruptive Yellow, dressed in a Superman-style bodysuit and cape, shamelessly exposing his underwear, received a boost from the equipment magic card and temporarily became a hero, with his attack power increasing by 300 points.

[Disrupt Yellow] (Attack Power: 0→300)

"...Disrupt the monster?"

"Why does the eldest brother's deck have a card with the Manjoume skill?"

As people watched the monsters summoned by Jaden Yuki, some curious voices arose from the crowd.

Upon hearing these voices, Judai Yuki smiled faintly and explained, "Manjoume, I have found those cards you discarded!"

"Yes! Brother Manjoume, look at how majestic I look now!" Wiggling his hips, the vulgar Disruptor Huang began to show off his hero equipment to Manjoume.

"...Ugh! Disturbing Huang...you are..."

"No! Whenever I try to remember, my head..."

Disturbing Huang's words echoed in his ears, and memories began to surface. Wan Zhangmu, whose head was throbbing with pain, couldn't help but press his head down.

Whenever he tried to recall the relevant details, he could always feel that something was preventing him from doing so.

588. A combined attack disrupts the triangular hurricane! (Bonus chapter of 4000 words)

"...Attack! Manjoume! I'll use [Elemental Hero - Neo-Ultraman] (Attack Power: 1900) to attack [White Knight Swordsman] (Attack Power: 1200)!"

"Take this! The Wrath of the New Universe!"

Unlike other Ultraman who likes to throw projectiles, Neo-Ultraman, also a cosmic superman, is not best at energy-based attacks, but rather at head-on confrontations similar to those in Fist of the North Star.

The new Yuuki, who transformed his palm into a hand blade, immediately rose up and leaped into the air upon hearing Judai Yuki's command, cleaving the White Knight's swordsman in two with a mid-air dash.

"……Well!"

Affected by the monster battle, Manjoume, who was in a state of confusion, subconsciously let out a muffled groan and took a few steps back.

(Manjoume LP: 4000→3300)

"Next... is the direct attack of [Disruption Yellow] (Attack Power: 300)!" Immediately after the Neo-Universe, Jaden Yuki gave the attack command to the second monster in front of him, namely Manjoume's underling - Disruption Yellow.

"...I need to make up my mind to bring my older brother to his senses!"

"Brother Manjoume, take this! Disruptive Flying Kick!!!"

With his hands raised in front of his body, Huang, whose mind had transformed into a chaotic demon, charged like a superhero to the unsuspecting Manjoume and delivered a friendly flying kick to his face!

"Grumble! You rascal!"

(Manjoume LP: 3300→3000)

"Hidden card, turn ends!"

After finishing his attack, Jaden Yuki placed one of his cards face down in the back row and then waved his hand to end his turn.

"...Judai! You actually used those weak cards with 0 attack power, are you looking down on me?"

"No, I'm fighting you very seriously, Manjoume!" With a piercing gaze fixed on Manjoume, Jaden Yuki said in a deep voice, "I also bear an undeniable responsibility for how you ended up like this!"

Manjoume: "...Responsibility?"

Jaden Yuki: "Ah! Although I don't know what you're thinking, I really didn't notice how my friend felt when he lost to me... It wasn't until I lost to Edward's Hero of Destiny that I truly realized that..."

"Lost? You're saying I lost to you?"

Having joined the Society of Light, Manjoume had lost his past memories. Therefore, upon hearing Jaden Yuki's words, he instinctively paused, revealing a puzzled expression.

“Yes, no matter what kind of duel it is, if you lose, you will definitely feel very unwilling and upset!” Nodding to Manjoume, Jaden Yuki continued, “My friend feels this way, but I didn’t notice it at all… I’m very angry at myself for this!”

"I've lost before... How... How is this possible?!"

"Why? Why can't I remember anything? What... what happened?!"

As he felt the true meaning contained in Yujou Judai's words, a fine layer of sweat began to appear on Manjou's forehead.

Suddenly, the image of the monster with the power of the Mystic Ritual began to vaguely appear in his mind. It seemed to be... a memory from his distant past that did not belong to him now.

Disruption Huang: "Brother Wan Zhangmu..."

"My turn, draw a card!"

Suppressing his inner turmoil once again, Manjoume, whose turn it was, drew a new card.

He then placed a new card from his hand onto the Duel Disk deck: "I summon [White Knights Lancer] in Attack Position (ATK: 1500). This monster has the ability to inflict piercing damage on the opponent!"

His signature red hair and double-edged spear reappeared, and the silver knight in white armor appeared before him with a gesture that drew all eyes.

That was the monster that had defeated the professional duelist before.

"...At this moment, I activate the effect of 'Swordsman of the White Knights' in my Graveyard. While this card is in my Graveyard, all 'White Knights' monsters on my field gain 300 ATK!"

[White Knights Spearmen] (Attack Power: 1500→1800)

"...Judai, now it's my turn to fight back!"

Clenching his right fist tightly, his face contorted with a distorted expression, he swung his fist fiercely towards Jaden Yuki: "[White Knights Lancer] Attack [Disruptive Yellow]! Crush that bastard!"

"……Why?"

Upon hearing Wan Zhangmu's command, the white-armored knight immediately brandished his lance and charged straight at Luanluan Huang. Luanluan Huang, who was locked on, subconsciously took a half step back, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

With an attack power of 1800 against an attack power of 300, Manjoume undoubtedly holds an almost overwhelming advantage.

With a loud explosion, Disruption Yellow's body immediately vanished from the field, and Jaden Yuki suffered a battle damage equal to 1500 from the difference in attack power between the two monsters.

"Well……"

(Yujo Judai LP: 4000 → 2500)

"At this moment, I open the face-down card in my back row!" Jaden Yuki, having just destroyed his monster, reached out to disperse the smoke and dust from the explosion around him and flipped over the Ambush Card in his back row in the next instant: "Continuous Trap Card - [Beyond Limit] activated! Pay 500 LP, and I can revive as many monsters with 1000 or less ATK that were destroyed this turn as possible to my field."

"...Come back, Disruptor Huang!"

(Yujo Judai LP: 2500 → 2000)

As the Trap Card's effect was activated, Jaden Yuki's body was also covered by the ensuing purple devouring energy.

As a price of losing 500 LP, Jaden Yuki revived the [Disruptive Yellow] that had been destroyed and sent to the Graveyard back to his field.

This time, the posture is one of defensive readiness.

[Disrupt Yellow] (Defense: 1000)

"Hahahaha!!! Judai, I never thought you'd be willing to waste so many life points to revive this worthless monster..."

"This has truly broadened my horizons!"

With a mocking laugh, Manjoume shook his head and waved his arm: "I'll just set up a card... and end my turn like this."

"My turn, draw!" (Draw a new card)

"The tenth young master..."

Hearing Manjou's mocking voice, the yellow-faced man looked at Yuki Judai behind him with worry.

Indeed, being a mere mortal, he did hold Jaden Yuki back, causing him to lose half of his life points in one fell swoop...

"Well, don't worry about it."

Wiping his nose, Yukichi Judai smiled, indicating that there was no need to worry about disturbing Huang.

He then immediately entered his combat phase: "Battle begins! I'm using [Elemental Hero - Neo-Ultraman] (Attack Power: 1900) to attack [White Knight's Lancer] (Attack Power: 1800)!"

Upon hearing Judai's command, Subaru immediately raised his hand and charged towards the White Knights' lancers.

The two monsters' attack power differed by exactly 100, and even with the boost from his ally, the Lancer was still no match for the Neo-Universe Warrior.

Clearly, following the swordsman, the spearman will also follow in his footsteps, becoming a victim of the new cosmic warriors.

"Ha...naive!"

Seeing the Neo-Universe charging towards his monster, Manjoume chuckled disdainfully before activating his face-down card in the back row: "...Ambush Card open! At the very moment you attack, I activate the Trap Card [Lightning Strike]!"

"Based on this card's effect, I can discard one card from my hand to destroy a card on the field!"

"Varied……?!"

"Hmph! Vanish, you eyesore monster! Jaden... what I'm going to destroy is your [Elemental HERO Neos]!"

Sending the second card in his hand, "Swordsman of the White Knights," to the graveyard, Manjoume narrowed his eyes and pointed to the location of the new Universe Knight.

As he moved, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky in the next instant, hitting the new Yu Xia and shattering him into golden particles of light...

"...I summon [Disruptive Green] in Defense position. End of turn."
