Yu-Gi-Oh!: Fake Hanno, missing arms and legs at the beginning

At the finals, the audience who had been waiting at the venue early were cheering enthusiastically for the arrival of the finals.

At the dueling arena, two duelists, both obviously elderly, stood facing each other.

"So before the duel officially begins, do you two have anything to say to each other?" The Blue Angel, as the host, was full of energy.

According to the usual routine, it's time to make some harsh remarks.

As a veteran of many battles, Jiraiya knew a lot and gave an example to Gin on the opposite side: "I am the hero Jiraiya. Although I am very sorry, with the help of the intelligence and tactics obtained by the combined strength of all the ninja villages in Konoha, [Earth Angel's Tears] is the most powerful force at present. The chance to make a wish must be mine!"

"Make a wish? I have already thought about what I want this world to be like. Just be good and get the right to change the name of this company."

"Okay, both players seem to be very confident in winning the championship. Then let me reiterate here that the format of this competition is a best-of-three format. The decks of both sides have been evaluated by the organizer of this competition, the International Illusion Society, and the Kaiba Group. They are in full compliance with the current banned card list and duel rules. This duel will be explained by me, Kaiba's special dispatch specialist, chief technical consultant, and Ms. Kisara, who also used the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] deck to squeeze into the top eight."

"I am the commentator for this event, 'Kisara'. All duelists gathered in the computer world, the duel history accumulated by many duelists, the wonderful music and the influence of virtual reality are woven together, breaking the boundaries of space, and turning this peerless evolution into an entertainment activity that all duelists can enjoy. This victory celebration built through virtual technology, cheer! This is the Desire Grand Prix!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The smile that was reminiscent of Uncle Jin's, the kind that you would never forget, resounded throughout the entire venue. Although it felt a bit awkward, it successfully ignited the enthusiasm of all the audience present.

"Come on! Draw out the sword called the card, use the duel disk as a shield, the card in your right hand holds your dignity, the duel disk in your left hand holds your soul, let's fight, duelists!"

"Then the duel officially begins."

"DUEL!" x2

Jiraiya LP8000 VS Akita's Gin LP8000

"Oh my! What luck! I get the first attack in this match." Gin took out his reading glasses shyly, and then drew his starting hand. "I'm going to summon [New Universe Connector]. Based on the effect of this guy, I'll call out [New Spaceman·Water Dolphin] from the deck."

Silver Hand Card: 5 → 4

[New Universe Connector] Warrior / Light Attribute / 4* / ATK800 / DEF1800

[New Spaceman·Water Dolphin] Warrior/Water attribute/3*/ATK600/DEF800

"Use the effect of the [Dolphin] Warrior, discard a card, I want to see what good stuff you have in your hand!"

Silver Hand Card: 4 → 3

The system automatically displayed Jiraiya's five initial hand cards.

They are [Mothman of the Unbounded Realm], [Nessie of the Unbounded Realm], [Shadow Lizard], [Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke] and [One World - Pearl World].

"I am the master of intelligence, but I leaked the information like this. It's really disgraceful!" Jiraiya cried in a pretentious tone, pretending to cover his face and shed tears.

The bean-sized tears hit the ground, as if telling a story about a toad that could hardly hide its tears.

Ah Yin couldn't believe that this guy in front of him, who looked only a few years younger than him, had such developed tear glands, and he was a little hesitant for a moment.

This side was given a chance to speak, and the commentary desk over there also started to work hard.

"I didn't expect Gin to try to see the opponent's deck right from the start. So, Ms. Kisara, what do you think will be the consequences of Gin's action of revealing Jiraiya's hand cards?"

Kisara analyzed seriously: "In fact, according to the analysis of big data, Jiraiya's start was not ideal."

"Why do you say that?"

"From the cards in this hand, the only card that can be effective in this round is [Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke], and the conditions must be met. In other words, this round, the obstacles faced by player Gin will not be too severe."

"That's right!"

"【New Spaceman: Water Dolphin】This card was used by the player 'Flame Wingman' in the previous 16-strong competition, and the effect of this card will become the key to that duel."

The Blue Angel continued, "Yes, in that duel, Flame Wingman used the effect of [Water Dolphin] to accurately hit [Gray Flowing Beauty] in the hands of Galaxy Eyes, and learned the information about [Primitive Life Form Nibiru], so he summoned the monster from the deck without interference."

"According to incomplete information, [New Cosmic Connector] and [New Spaceman: Dolphin] can be considered as variants of the old deck series [Hero]. It is a powerful deck that attacks with continuous fusion. However, I cannot fully confirm Gin's tactics based on these two cards alone."

"After all, according to Gin's previous tactics, it's not surprising that there are many different styles of monsters mixed in the deck."

"Just like in the video that went viral, when Gin faced the legendary duelist, Jonouchi Katsuya, he completely reversed the situation and defeated him with just one [Time Magician]. But if we apply that to this match, I don't think it would be applicable."

"Why do you say that?"

"According to the cards in my hand, as the only magic card [One Life Bad - Pearl World]..."

……

Since the commentator's voice could not be transmitted and there was no think tank analysis, Yin stared with his presbyopic eyes for a long time before he finally understood the basic information of the opponent's cards.

"The attack power of these monsters in your hand is so high! That's really a pity. If you have a monster with an attack power lower than 800, it can cause you 500 points of damage. Now I have to bear the damage. Oh, it's really a headache!"

Ayin LP8000→7500

Hearing this, Jiraiya removed his hand that was covering his face and laughed wildly, "You've reaped what you sowed!"

Looking closely, there were no traces of tears on Jiraiya's face at all. The lifelike sobbing and tears before were simply simulated using techniques to deceive people.

"Oh my, I was completely fooled just now! Then let's continue the duel. I will use Link Summon to summon two beautiful ladies named [Holy Knight's Regret Isolde] with two Warrior monsters."

[Recollection of the Paladin Isolde] Warrior/Light attribute/↙↘/ATK1600/Link 2

"According to the effects of these two ladies, I can take this [Ignition Knight Dragunov] from the deck. Then, according to the effects of the two ladies, I can send [Flame Holy Sword - Durandal] from the deck to the discard pile and call [Flame Holy Knight - Roland] to the field. However, this effect can only be used once per turn."

Silver Hand Card: 3 → 4

[Flame Paladin - Rinaldo] Warrior / Fire attribute / 1 star / ATK500 / DEF200

"According to the effect of this [Rinaldo] brother, I will take the sword sent to the discard pile back to my hand."

"Then at this moment, because a card has been sent to your graveyard, you can activate the effect of [Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke]." Jiraiya seemed extremely excited, and he swung his arms in circles for several times before he put the card into the duel disk.

Jiraiya hand card: 5 → 4

C1 [Flame Paladin - Rinaldo] C2 [Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke], chain reverse settlement.

Jiraiya wiped his forehead and laughed wildly: "Make the two beautiful ladies on your field the targets of the effect of this Ancient Vanguard in my hand. Ancient Vanguard can be Special Summoned. Not only that, the two ladies targeted will return to your Extra Deck."

[Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke] Angel / Earth Attribute / 4* / ATK1500 / DEF1800

"Oh! What a beautiful chain."

"What should Gin do now that he has lost two connection points?"

“Oh my! This is such a headache! Durandal will return to my hand, and I will equip this sword to Rinaldo, and add Dragon Swordsman: Ignite Phoenix to my hand. After that, this sword will be destroyed!”

Silver Hand Card: 4→5→4→5

"Then I activate the Spell Card [Simple Contact], paying 1000 Life Points to Special Summon [Elemental Hero Mizuha Shinyu-chan] ignoring the summoning conditions, and then this [Simple Fusion], paying 1000 Life Points to activate it. Special Summon [Flame Swordsman]."

Ayin LP7500→6500→5500

Silver Hand Card: 5 → 3

[Elemental Hero Shuibo Xinyuxia] Warrior / Water Attribute / 7 Stars / ATK2500 / DEF2000

[Flame Swordsman] Warrior / Fire attribute / 5 stars / ATK1800 / DEF1600

"Then I will use two Warrior-type Fusion monsters as materials to return the two beautiful ladies to my field."

[Recollection of the Paladin Isolde] Warrior/Light attribute/↙↘/ATK1600/Link 2

"Even if you can't use the effect again, you still summoned two beautiful ladies again? It seems that this is still very important to you!"

"You could say that! I set the 7-level [Ignition Knight Dragunov] and the 7-level [Dragon Swordsman Ignition Phoenix] to the pendulum scale."

Silver Hand Card: 3 → 1

Gin's move caused a sensation, and even Jiraiya was even more proud after hearing it: "What? If you use a monster with the same pendulum scale on both sides, there is no way to perform a pendulum summon!"

"All I have to do is activate the Pendulum effect of [Ignition Knight], destroy this card and the other card, and add [Ignition Knight·Desert Eagle] at scale 2 from the deck to my hand."

Silver Hand Card: 1 → 2

"Next, the destroyed [Dragon Swordsman Ignite·Phoenix] can activate its effect to Special Summon [Ignite Knight·50] from the Deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect can be used as a Tuner Monster."

[Ignition Knight 6] Warrior / Fire attribute / 2100 stars / ATK2200 / DEF

"Adjusting the monster? Could it be that..."

"Six plus one equals seven, which means I can now Special Summon a Level 7 monster from the Extra Deck. I will use the Ignition Knight and Rinaldo on the field as materials to Synchro Summon Sound Warrior Rock Band."

[Sound Warrior Rock Band] Mechanical / Wind Attribute / 7* / ATK2500 / DEF1500

"Use the effect of [Rock Band] to take the face-up [Ignition Knight Dragunov] from the Extra Deck to my hand."

Silver Hand Card: 2 → 3

"That's amazing, A-Yin, that's amazing!"

"With this smooth operation and this set of coherent effects, he can use the monsters at scale 2 and scale 7 in his hand to Special Summon the face-up Level 3 to 6 monsters in his hand and the Extra Deck to the field at the same time. This is the charm of Pendulum Summoning!"

"The conditions for the appearance of this next lady are a bit harsh, but it just so happens that my field already meets these conditions. I will use the Pendulum Monster [Rock Band] and the two ladies as link materials to Link Summon [Trails Magician]!"
