A red…motorcycle?
Or more accurately, it should be a D-Wheel.
Two people jumped out of the car one after the other, one with a crab head and the other with a jellyfish head – the identity of the person was basically confirmed based on the hairstyle alone.
A real Yu-Gi-Oh fan would be able to recognize the protagonist's identity at a glance just by the outline of his hairstyle.
These two were the protagonists of the second and third generations in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh, Yuki Judai from GX and Yusei Fudo from 5DS!
Sure enough, just like in the movie, before returning to this era, Paradox first went to the era of 5DS to take away the Stardust Dragon from Yusei. Because of his wanton tampering with history, the time and space where Yusei lived began to collapse, and the whole world began to disappear.
The god-level monster spirit "Crimson Dragon" who resided on Yusei and his little friends lent power to Yusei and briefly gave his D-Wheel the ability to travel through time and space.
So Yusei rode his own D-Wheel and ran after Paradox to the present era… When passing through the GX era, by the way, he happened to meet the senior Yuki Judai.
The only problem was...
…According to the normal plot, shouldn't the first one the two of them encounter when they return to this era be Yugi Muto?
This gave Yuei Vu the illusion of stealing the protagonist's script…
The two real protagonists both jumped out of the car. Yusei threw off the safety helmet, revealing his iconic crab hairstyle – Yuei Vu was still wondering how this hairstyle kept its shape when stuffed into the helmet – and then quickly ran in front of Yuei Vu.
"Are you okay!?" he asked with concern.
Judai also jumped out of the car, but couldn't help being stunned when he saw Yuei Vu clearly.
"Yuei… Yuei Vu- sensei!?"
Yuei Vu: "?"
Sensei?
So my future self really went to the Duel Academy to become a teacher?
Breaking into the duel halfway, Judai thought he had seen the situation clearly. He turned around, clenched his fists, and looked angrily at the opposite Paradox: "You bastard! You actually went back in time to attack Yuei Vu- sensei…"
Yusei also took a step forward and blocked Yuei Vu with his body: "I won't let you do anything reckless again!"
Yuei Vu: Wait a minute, you seem to have misunderstood something, if you don't come, he is already cold…
But even if the blow just passed, it would not be directly fatal.
According to the explanation of Paradox in the animation, he said that when they dueled in his "Malefic World", those who fail will be directly eliminated. But now that the Field Spell Card was blown back to his hand, that power naturally disappeared.
Although that force field simulated a Shadow Game, it was not enough to kill a person without the assistance of the "Malefic World".
And Yuei Vu didn't want him to die like that.
After all, he had to ask Paradox why he was bothering him, and what the other party said about his spirit.
…By the way, talk to him about the reason, and see if he could persuade him to give up the D-Wheel and Duel Disk…
However, he didn't expect that the duel was interrupted before the end of the game – by his teammates, no less!
Yuei Vu looked at the back of a certain crab head in front of him with concern, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought…
Could this be the legendary "will of the universe"?
After all, "pulling the screw in a duel" is an invention of Yusei.
However, I didn't expect that this guy is not only satisfied with pulling out his own screws, but now he even pulls out other people's screws…
However, if Yuei Vu wanted to blame them… it seemed a little unreasonable.
After all, the two of them traveled thousands of miles and came back from the future without fear of danger, with the intention of saving him. It's just that they probably didn't expect that this year's boss was not very good, and Yuei Vu almost settled it all by himself…
The two protagonists from the future stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, with momentum like a rainbow, and seemed to have embraced the consciousness of a decisive battle.
As the BOSS, Paradox, he…
…He took advantage of the moment when the two of them jumped out to talk, he had already stepped on the heavy and large D-Wheel, turned his head, and ran away…
Originally, in the force field he activated, he couldn't get out until the duel was decided. However, that force field was obviously torn apart by the powerful force attached to it when Yusei's D-Wheel broke in.
So now it was convenient for him to escape…
Before others could open their mouths, Paradox activated his D-Wheel, and a certain black technology device was started. With a series of high-pitched engine sounds, it disappeared with a snap.
Judai X Yusei who was posing: "…"
This villain doesn't even play cards, does he just want to run away?
It seems that they are not quite the same as the opponents they have encountered so far…
The two protagonists turned around.
Yusei let out a long sigh of relief: "Great, it looks like you're fine…"
Yusei couldn't help swallowing the latter half of the words. Because he instinctively felt that the senior Duel King in front of him seemed to be looking at him unkindly…
Maybe it was an illusion, but Yusei felt that the Duel King seemed to be staring at his D-Wheel and Duel Disk…
Yuei Vu sighed lightly.
Calm down, calm down.
He consoled himself.
Anyway, Paradox can run now but can't run forever. Let's consider it as D-Wheel and Duel Disk were temporarily deposited with him.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Yuei Vu has already regarded those two pieces of equipment as his own…
"Although you may find it unbelievable to say this, we came from the future. So did that person just now." Yusei introduced himself, "My name is Fudo Yusei."
He looked at Judai as if signaling for him to introduce himself.
However, Judai…
…He was staring at Yuei Vu's face in a daze…
At this time, a female spirit with wings and a demon-like image floated out from behind Judai, folded her arms, and hummed: "Idiot, why are you so dumb?"
Of course, Yuei Vu recognized her. Yubel, known as "Sister Yub", Yuki Judai's spirit partner… Suspected to be a lover from a previous life.
She appeared for the first time in the Different Dimension World arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. A Yandere character, due to her mind being corrupted by "The Light of Destruction". However, after being whitewashed, she merged with Judai and became a partner of one mind.
He had to say that the ending of Judai and Yubel was also very Yu-Gi-Oh, just like the saying "lovers will eventually become spirit partners"… (1)
Only then did Judai come back to his senses: "Huh? Hello, sensei…ah no, it should be Yuei Vu-san now…"
"Stupid! Is there any point in changing your way of addressing now?" Yubel continued to mock.
It looked like an old married couple.
Although Yuei Vu probably already knew what was going on, it stood to reason that he was a "person from the past" who was suddenly involved in the incident. Now he should be in a daze.
So the two protagonists from the future also enthusiastically introduced the ins and outs of the matter to him and told him about Paradox traveling through time and space, going to various timelines to snatch the powerful monster spirits, intending to tamper with history.
And because of his wanton tampering with history, the future that Yusei lived in was on the verge of disappearing.
So whatever the reason, he must be stopped in this day and age!
Yuei Vu thought for a while and asked a question: "But if according to what you said, the other party's machine can travel through time and space at will, then there is no way to track it. As we are talking, we don't even know that he may have run away Which time and space…"
"No, he should still be in this era."
Yusei shook his head and rolled up his right sleeve.
"Because of this."
He pointed to a red pattern on his forearm, which was drawn in the shape of a dragon's head.
Yuei Vu knows that this mark was called the "Mark of the Dragon", which was the proof of being a "Signer". Only those chosen by the Crimson Dragon who was regarded as a god by the People of the Stars in ancient times would have this mark.
"I also have some special powers. If the other party tries to activate the space-time device again and escape from this timeline, this mark will immediately respond." Yusei explained as concisely as possible.
"I see."
Although he explained it very simply, Yuei Vu probably guessed it.
This showed that the machine used by Paradox to travel through time was probably related to the "Planetary Particles".
Planetary Particle, also known as Yusei Particle, was a particle discovered by Fudo Yusei's father in the era of 5DS, and Yusei himself got his name from it.
The Planetary Particle was the key to the development of the perpetual motion machine called "Momentum", which lead the entire human civilization into a new stage. It was widely used in various scientific fields, and it seemed that the space-time travel device used by Paradox was also related to this particle.
And because of the close connection between Planetary Particle and dueling monsters, in that era, dueling became the fundamental element of technological progress to promote the development of civilization…
