The result couldn't be said to be unexpected. The audience knew that Kaiba must not be able to beat the Yugi. This kind of thing was as obvious as "the president wants to summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
But in the end, the way Yugi won still re-enacted the classic scene in the anime, which was unexpected to Yuei Vu. Even if the process was very different, in the end, the Yugi still printed a "Dark Paladin" to defeat Kaiba seconds.
The only theory was that the world timeline has fixed points.
Dark Paladin, the fusion of the Dark Magician and the Buster Blader. This monster was no stranger to today's Yu-Gi-Oh players, but the monster's first appearance in history was in the Battle City semi-finals between Yugi and Kaiba.
This card has never appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! animations before this. So it may be okay to say that Yugi printed this card on-site.
In fact, something like this hasn't happened before. In one of the original chapters of Yu-Gi-Oh Animation, Yugi suddenly wanted to use his "Black Luster Soldier" to fuse with Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", and summoned "Dragon Master Knight" with an attack power of 5,000 to OTK the opponent.
Later, Kaiba expressed curiosity and asked the Yugi: Did you already know the existence of "Dragon Master Knight"? Why didn't we have any information in the database of Kaiba Corp?
Then Yugi said righteously: Kaiba, did you believe in your card? If you firmly believed that this card exist, it certainly existed.
The implication of this…
...Nonsense, didn't you see that it was printed on the spot?
How could you make a comeback if I didn't print cards?
Besides, as the pharaoh… could that be called printing cards?
So for similar things, it's good that everyone understood in their hearts, there was no need to say too clearly…
...
The semi-finals were over, and finally the final began.
After the players on both sides adjusted, they stepped onto the stage of the final battle.
Yuei Vu and Yami Yugi faced each other, exchanged decks, and had the final conversation while shuffling the cards.
"I don't know what you think," Yami Yugi suddenly said in the middle of the shuffle, and smiled slightly, "but I think it's really good that you are the opponent in the final battle."
"…Me too." Yuei Vu also smiled.
This was not a greeting, this was what Yuei Vu thought from his heart.
Among all the players in the quarter-finals, from the very beginning, he regarded the Yugi as the final BOSS that truly guards the cup.
Yuei Vu has overcome all obstacles, collected two god cards and rose to nearly Rank 7, and finally played the Yugi in the final. He felt that he was lucky enough.
To be honest, it didn't matter what the final result was, Yuei Vu just needs to do his best now. He has already gained enough benefits in this Battle City, but to be honest, he really didn't have much confidence in playing against the Duel King in the final.
If he was able to win, that's the best. Else, he has already made a profit.
It's just that President Kaiba, who was the organizer of the competition, was suffering.
President Kaiba spent so much power and invested so much money to hold this competition, and in the end, not only he lost the God card and didn't get the Duel King title, but the final match also had nothing to do with him!
Then the two on stage were still "the only two men recognized by President Kaiba". However, these two have now left the president aside and went to the stage to play cards by themselves.
Now the president's mood was very complicated, the president didn't want to talk, the president just wanted to be quiet…
After the shuffling was complete, both players went back to their places. The referee Isono swung his arm down and shouted: "The final battle of the Battle City, Player Yuei Vu VS Player Yugi Muto, start!"
"Duel!" x2
[Yuei Vu, LP 4000]
[Yugi, LP4000]
"Yugi, come on!" Jonouchi and his friends cheered for the Yugi.
"Yuei…Yugi, come on…"
Sister Shizuka said in a low voice, and at the same time secretly wanted to cheer on Yuei Vu, but in that case, her brother would definitely be very angry…
"I go first, draw!" The first move was Yugi's.
He has no self-confidence in going first, but Yuei Vu said that he was quite confident in going second. He has played many duels, but only got the first turn a few times in total, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with Lucky 20…
"Activate Spell Card – Graceful Charity!" Yugi first played a Thousands of Years Banned card, "Draw three cards from the deck and then discard two cards.
Then the effect of the 'Watapon' in the hand! If this card is added to the hand from the deck by a card effect, it can be Special Summoned directly from the hand! "
Yugi drew two cards, one of which was placed directly on the Duel Disk. A very cute and Q-shaped white cotton ball appeared on the field with the light effect, blinking big cute blue eyes.
"Then use the 'Watapon' as a Tribute," the Yugi took the Watapon from the Duel Disk and replaced it with another card in his hand, "Come on, the demon with the highest attack power——
– Summoned Skull! "
Watapon disappeared, and what appeared immediately was a demon in a white skeleton that descended with golden lightning. He folded his arms and emerged from the chaotic vortex, overflowing with electricity, like a king's landing.
[Summoned Skull, ATK 2500]
Although it only needed one Tribute to summon, the attack power was equivalent to that of the Dark Magician with 2500 points. It was also a very powerful and practical monster in the early stage of DM.
"Set three cards, I end my turn." Yugi smiled, "Okay, it's your turn to play."
"Very good, the first turn is a powerful monster with 2500 ATK!" Jonouchi clenched his fist, "This way, it will not be so easy to defeat!"
"My turn, draw!"
Yuei Vu turned out a card in his hand and showed the opponent the "Magicians' Souls" in his hand.
"I activate the effect of Magicians' Souls by sending 1 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster monster from your Deck to the GY!"
This was not the first time this card has appeared, and everyone presented was familiar to it.
Yugi slightly frowned.
Are you coming? Dark Magician?
But he didn't expect Yuei Vu's operation to be different this time: "I send Dark Magician Girl from the deck to the graveyard to activate the effect of 'Magicians' Souls'!"
Yugi was a little surprised.
Not Dark Magician?
"Then I send the Magicians' Souls from the hand to the graveyard, and then special summon from the graveyard…" Yuei Vu put the cards in his hand into the graveyard, and the magician girl's card popped up, "Come on! Dark Magician Girl!"
With a burst of gorgeous light effects, the magician girl flew out of the vortex of the graveyard with youthful vigor. Her round-toed little boots lightly stepped on the transparent magic circle in mid-air, and the little staff swept away, leaving visible lines in the air.
[Dark Magician Girl, ATK 2000]
Although it's not a Shadow Game, thus there was no danger, but the girl was still full of energy today.
Because she knew that the opposite Muto Yugi… was also a user of Dark Magician teacher and apprentice duo!
The girl took a deep breath and raised her proud chest.
I mustn't embarrass my master!
"You didn't choose a Dark Magician, but Dark Magician Girl?" Yugi said, "If it is a Dark Magician, the attack power can be comparable to 'Summoned Skull'…"
"I know," Yuei Vu smiled slightly, "but if it's Dark Magician, I wouldn't be able to use this move. Activate Spell Card – Dark Burning Attack!
Activate only when there is a 'Dark Magician Girl' on my side of the field, destroy all face-up monsters on the opponent's side of the field! "
Yuei Vu pointed at the demon ahead: "Go, Dark Magician Girl! Smash the demon with your magic!"
Come, come, it's time for me to play!
The girl who felt that she was being valued held her breath, flew up, and let out a coquettish cry, bursting magic power waves from the staff.
The magical impact hit the demon's body head-on, shattering his skeletal armor and piercing him back and forth from his chest. The demon roared in a low voice, and his body shattered into pieces under the raging magic power.
"Summoned Skull…" Yugi raised his arm to block the impact of the overflowing magic power, and smiled, "It's quite capable."
The Dark Magician Girl was a little proud.
Did the master hear? The other side also praised me for being capable!
"Battle!" Yuei Vu said, "Dark Magician Girl, attack directly!"
The Dark Magician Girl jumped high, her feet floating in the air on the transparent magic circle, she flicked the small magic wand, and the magic power tossed, ready to hit Yugi.
"Don't worry, Yuei Vu." Dark Yugi smiled, "The duel has just begun. Open the set card! Trap Card – Mirror Force!"
The trap flipped, the light and shadow effect formed a hemispherical shield around Yugi, and the divine light protected his entire field in the middle.
Yuei Vu's pupils narrowed.
Damn! You just come up, yet directly used Hanoi's holy power? Where is the process?
"Mirror Force is a card that destroys all the opponent's attack monsters when the opponent declares an attack!" the Yugi shouted, "Return the attack of Dark Magician Girl!"
The magical impact slammed on the indestructible barrier, and the light of the spherical barrier soared. The reflected magic power turned back towards the Dark Magician Girl like an overwhelming force, so frightened that the girl's face turned pale, she held her head in place and squatted in defense.
"It's not that easy!" Yuei Vu quickly played out the next card, "Quick-Play Spell – My Body as a Shield! When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card or monster effect that would destroy a monster(s) on the field: Pay 1500 LP; negate the activation and destroy that card! "
[Yuei Vu, LP 4000 → LP 2500]
With the reduction of LP, the sacred shield in front of Yugi suddenly shattered like broken glass, and countless fragments were scattered everywhere.
In fact, it was equivalent to the owner blocking the sword for his monster.
Yugi was surprised: "Mirror Force was…"
"The battle continues!" Yuei Vu ordered again, "Dark Magician Girl, continue to attack!"
Dark Magician Girl who had just hugged her head in fright raised her head.
Ah? The master called me? I haven't died yet?
The magical girl who reacted hurriedly jumped up, waved her small staff backhand, and another wave of magic power blasted out. This time there was no block, and it hit Yugi's body straight.
The actual touch of Kaiba's black-tech images made the Yugi slip half a step and gritted his teeth lightly.
[Yugi, LP 4000 → LP 2000]
"Set a card, I end my turn." Yuei Vu smiled, "You're right, Yugi. The duel has just begun."
