Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 197: Denying responsibility is a characteristic of A5.

Chapter 197: Denying responsibility is a characteristic of A5.

"Why!?"

Commander Edward stared at all of this in disbelief.

Then, the faint sound of Kagura could be heard.

He said unhurriedly, "Oh dear, I forgot to tell you."

"【Black Hole Dragon】cannot be destroyed by effects while it is on the field."

He smiled and said, "After all, it's a dragon that lives in a black hole. How could it withstand such high pressure without a strong physique?"

Ed: —.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

This is one of the great secrets of Yu-Gi-Oh! in the anime; only half of its effect has been revealed.

The other half? You'll have to guess.

See, this easily tricked General Edward.

At this moment, Edward was seething with hatred.

This is the power of information asymmetry, and a tactic that can only be devised within the context of anime.

Since both players can freely see the effects of each other's cards in physical cards, the tactic of concealing effects is naturally no longer viable.

"The battle continues!"

Kagura commanded, "[Black Hole Dragon], attack [Destiny Hero. Anti-Utopia]!"

"Destruction Ray!"

[Black Hole Dragon] Energy continuously gathers at its core chest area, and intense dark power transforms into light, carrying a world-destroying force.

Shoot it at the other side.

Ed's expression showed a hint of panic, but just as the Black Hole Dragon's destructive ray was about to strike, a cunning, triumphant smile appeared on his face:

"Hehehe, they finally fell for the trap!"

"Let me show you my final tactic!"

He revealed his last card and sneered:

"I activate the effect of [Destiny Hero. Dynamite] in my hand."

"When a monster battles, discard this card from your hand, and any battle damage I took from that monster becomes 0!"

"Furthermore, both players will take 1000 damage!"

【Kagura Kiryu, LP800】

[Chief Commander of AIDE, LP600]

"All of them have less than 1000 health points!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Is it going to be a draw?"

"Ha! I would never compromise like that!"

A card pops out of Edward's graveyard: "I activate the final effect of [Destiny HERO - Determinist] in my graveyard!"

"Activate this effect when this card is in your Graveyard and a spell, trap, or monster effect that inflicts damage on you is activated!"

"This card returns to your hand, and its effect reduces the damage you receive to 0!"

He pulled out the card and sneered, "So you can bear that 1000 points of damage alone, Duel King!"

A hero who looked like he was about to explode stood on the field, and exploded because he took one more look.

With a loud "bang," thick smoke billowed up from the arena, and everyone stared in disbelief at the dueling ground.

The Duel King lost?

Kyoko called out anxiously, "Kagura!"

Everyone stared intently at the thick smoke on the field. After a short while, the smoke dissipated, and Kagura's figure was revealed.

【Kagura Kiryu, LP300】

There was a card in his graveyard that was in a pop-up state. He casually pulled out the card and showed it to Edward:

"That was close, that was close, we almost got killed."

"Luckily, I activated the trap card 'Damage Slimming' from my graveyard."

He explained with a smile, "By banishing this card from the graveyard, I take half the effect damage this turn."

"Pfft, so there was a backup plan set up in the cemetery?"

Ed was momentarily stunned by this hidden insurance, feeling as if all his tactics had been seen through.

"Heh, but your [Black Hole Dragon] has already attacked this round, which means you can't defeat me this round."

"Wait until the next round"

"You don't have a next round."

Kagura smiled, yet gave off an undeniable air of seriousness.

"Battle phase over, proceeding to main phase two."

Kagura first inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "First, I activate the Equip Spell, [Explosive Blaze]!"

"The equipped monster gains 400 ATK. When attacking a Defense Position monster, if its ATK exceeds its DEF, inflict battle damage equal to that amount!"

"I'm equipping the [Black Hole Dragon]!"

[Black Hole Dragon, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 3400]

He drew a card from his hand: "Your analysis was indeed correct, provided I hadn't drawn this card!"

"I activate the Spell Card 'Ambush from Darkness' (Original Card)!"

He laughed and said, "Based on this card's effect, I can go through another Battle Phase this turn!"

"Another attack phase!?"

Ed's eyes widened. "Dude, isn't this card a bit too fake?"

Kagura Kiryu nodded: "That's right, isn't it amazing? It was a gift from a friend of mine who loves to laugh."

But Edward no longer cared who this cheerful friend was; he only knew one thing.

Ruined.

"Battle phase resumes!"

Kagura pointed at Commander-in-Chief Edward: "[Black Hole Dragon], attack [Destiny Hero. Dashman]!"

"Destruction Ray!"

The core of the black dragon, with its hollowed-out body, once again gathered astonishing power, and with a roar, a ray containing terrifying power shot towards the roller skating hero.

"Of course, due to the effect of [Explosive Piercing Strike], this card will deal piercing damage to you."

Edward:

[Chief Commander Edward, LP600→LP0]

The terrifying physical damage impacted Edward's body, sending him flying twenty or thirty meters away. He even slid along the ground for a while, and it looked painful.

Just as several of his subordinates were about to go over to check on him, they saw their commander-in-chief suddenly stand up nimbly. His skin was thick and tough, and it seemed that the impact had not affected his movements.

Then, the commander-in-chief of the Fusion Army, who was very much a man of tradition and had mastered his family’s skills, turned around and ran away as if his life depended on it.

Kagura Kiryu: !?

Wang Yang: !?

Jonouchi, Kyoko, Honda:! ?

The entire school faculty and students: !?

Under the Integration Military Headquarters: —

They suddenly realized what was happening and immediately took off running.

That's right, this is the legacy of their Fusion Army: if they can't win, they run away.

I refuse to admit defeat. A duel? So what if you win? I'll just kill you. Whether I win or lose doesn't matter.

Just have a group of people fight together, a physical duel. Playing cards is just a formality.

This is one of the reasons why the A5 is so terrible and criticized.

It turned the previously established worldview that everything was determined by playing cards into a joke.

Why the hell are you playing cards? Just grab a gun and fight a real war!

If the people still don't understand by now, they're really fools; this guy lost the game and is refusing to admit defeat.

For a Tongshi savage, this behavior was incomprehensible; it felt as if a door to a new world had been opened.

But the next second, Jonouchi and Honda leaped into the air and knocked down two of the closest, physically excellent, and systematically trained Fusion Army soldiers with a few punches.

A physical duel? That would be wonderful.

You might have trouble letting them play cards, but they're really good at beating people.

Two superheroes in a physical duel! They've arrived!
