Last Time’s Egao Count: 221

Asuka: In order to stop Academia’s ambition,
My teacher, Sakaki Yusho, crossed the dimensions.
He decided to persuade the Professor in person.

Asuka: I will make sure that he is able to meet the Professor.
When I boarded the ship with that goal in mind,
The Academia’s pursuer, Dennis, showed up and stood in our way.

Kaito: I’ll take on this Duel.

Yusho: Kaito!

Dennis: Who the heck are you? Don’t just show up out of nowhere.

Kaito: Go! Neo Galaxy-Eyes!
Cipher Stream of Terror!

Asuka: With the help of Kaito, a Duelist from the Xyz Dimension, Dennis was defeated.
We were also able to learn about Ruri and Rin’s locations, and successfully arrived in Academia.

Reiji: We finally met again, Sakaki-san.
I won’t let you steal a march on me again like three years ago.

Yusho: And I’m not planning to cause you any trouble this time around, either.

Reiji: Academia has already become too strong.
In order to destroy it, our power…

Yuri: Destroy, you say?
I wonder about that.

Narrator: The world is divided into four dimensions.
Across these dimensions, there are four boys, who all have the same face,
And the dragons they possess call out to one another,
As if seeking out one another…

Yuri: Ahahaha!
I’ll turn all five of you into cards.

Yusho: Yuya!?

Asuka: I won’t allow that!

Yusho: Asuka-kun!

Sora: I see…Let’s use that!

Sora: Quickly! Go!

Sora: Hurry!

Reira: Ah!

Reiji: Reira!

Yuri: How unfortunate for you, Shiun’in Sora.
Those fences can disable the functionalities of your Duel Disk.
So you can only watch from there.

Yuri: I was planning to take on all five of you,
But I guess I can start with you.

Yuri: After I met you some time ago,
I did some research on you.

Yuri: You were an upstanding honor student when you were still a member of Academia, right?
You defeated all the boys who tried to woo you.
To think that I’ll be able to Duel an honor student like you and turn you into a card…
I’m so going to enjoy this.
Ahahahaha!

Yusho: Who is that boy?

Reiji: He looks like your son,
But he’s probably Yuri.

Yusho: Yuri?

Asuka: Instructor, go on ahead!

Asuka: I’ll hold Yuri off!
So, please hurry up!
You’re the only one who can persuade the Professor!

Yusho: All right.
I’ll go on ahead!

Yuri: Aw~
They’re gone!
But no matter.
I’ll just have to take you down quickly, and chase after them.

Asuka: I won’t let you get in their way!

Yuri: Oh, how scary.
By the way, do you know what this is?
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Asuka: T-That is…

Yuri: That’s right.
This is a special deck that is given to honor students like you.
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: You know all the cards, too, right?

Yuri: By the way, this is the deck that I always use.
Say…
Which deck do you want me to use to defeat you?

Asuka: Are you mocking me!?
Just use the deck you’re accustomed to, and have a fair and square fight with me!

Yuri: I thought you’d say that.
Then…
I’ll use the honor student deck instead of my own deck!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: Let’s get started, shall we?
Ahahaha!

(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)
DUEL!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Asuka: I’ll take the first move!
I activate the Ritual Magic, Machine Angel Absolute Ritual!

Asuka: Then, from my hand, I release the Level-5 Cyber Tutubon, and Ritual Summon!
Angel of light who hides healing powers!
With your elegant appearance, heal those who are wounded!
Descend!
Level-5! Cyber Angel Nasatya!

Asuka: On the turn that Cyber Tutubon is released as a material for a Ritual Summon…
I can add one Ritual Magic from the Graveyard to my hand!
I’m adding Machine Angel Absolute Ritual to my hand!
This card has another effect.
I’ll activate it!
By returning the Level-5 Cyber Tutubon from the Graveyard to my deck,
I can perform another Ritual Summon!
I summon another Nasatya!

Asuka: Once per turn,
Nasatya can target a monster on my Field,
And increase my Life Points by half of that monster’s ATK!

Yuri: Really?
You’re just going to increase your Life a tiny bit and summon two monsters with 1000 DEF, and end your turn?

Asuka: When there is a Cyber monster besides itself on my Field, Nasatya can negate an attack that is directed toward it.

Sora: Since there are two monsters with that effect,
The opponent’s attacks will be completely sealed off!

Asuka: Exactly.
I end my turn.

Yuri: I see.
You set up a pretty strong defense…
I’d better do my best, then.

Yuri: All right, it’s my turn!
I shall draw my first card from the honor student deck!

Yuri: Hmm…Hang on a sec.

Asuka: Heh? Wait…
You don’t really know this deck?

Yuri: Hmm… I see.
It’s probably this one.
I activate the Continuous Magic, Antique Gear Fortress!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: Next up is…
I activate the Magic Card, Antique Gear Catapult!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: Let’s see…When I have no monster on my Field,
Antique Gear Catapult can destroy one of my face-up cards?
Then, I shall destroy Antique Gear Fortress!

Sora: He destroyed his Continuous Magic right away!?

Asuka: It’s because he’s using a deck he’s unfamiliar with…

Yuri: No. I’m sure I’m not making any mistake.
By destroying a card with Antique Gear Catapult,
I can Special Summon Antique Gear Gadget from my deck!
And when Antique Gear Fortress is destroyed,
I can Special Summon Antique Gear Wyvern from my hand!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: Oh?
When Antique Gear Wyvern is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned,
I can add an Antique Gear card besides itself from the deck to my hand!
Well, then…
Which one shall I choose?
Oh?
Oh my…
Does this mean that I can bring out the trump card!?

Sora: Trump card?

Asuka: Here it comes…

Yuri: All right, here I go…
Once per turn, I can treat Antique Gear Gadget as a Gadget monster.
I treat Antique Gear Gadget as Red Gadget, and release it along with Antique Gear Wyvern in order to Advance Summon!

Yuri: Come on out!
Level-9! Antique Gear Reactor Dragon!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: Look! I brought it out!
I guess I didn’t make any mistake at all, huh?

Sora: There’s no way that the trump card of a special deck used by honor students would be Advance Summoned!
That bastard…

Yuri: Battle!
I attack Nasatya with Reactor Dragon!

Asuka: Nasatya’s effect!
When there is a Cyber monster besides itself, it can negate an attack that is directed toward it!

Yuri: Whoops! That’s right!
Ah, but it says that when Reactor Dragon attacks,
Until the end of Damage Step,
The opponent cannot activate Monster Effects, Magic, or Trap Cards.
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: Oh, it also has a few more effects as well, it seems.
When this dragon is Advance Summoned by releasing an Antique Gear,
It can inflict piercing damage when it attacks a Defense Position monster!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: I was able to master a deck I’m using for the first time!
I sure am a genius!

Yuri: Oh.
My turn is not over yet!
When Reactor Dragon is Advance Summoned by releasing a Gadget,
I can attack a second time!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: Oh. I’m sure an honor student like Asuka-san would know.
About its effects and all…

Yuri: Well then, I attack Nasatya with Reactor Dragon!
And inflict piercing damage!

Asuka: AAAHHH!

Sora: Ah!

Yuri: Hmm~ This is so frustrating!
If I can attack one more time, this would be over by now!
Guess it can’t be helped.
Delayed gratification is a thing, I guess.
I set one card facedown and end my turn.
All right, it’s your turn.
I want to go next as soon as possible,
So be quick about it.

Yuri: Hurry up~!
Hurry up~!
Hurry up~!
Hurry up~!

Yugo: Hurry…Hurry…

Yuya: Hurry…Hurry!
Hey!

Obelisk Student: Eh?

Yuya: A girl named Yuzu should be somewhere in here!
Do you know where she is?

(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)
(Commercial Break: BUY ANCIENT GEARS KIDS na no ne)
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids):cm:

Yuri: Hurry up~!
Hurry up~!
Hurry up~!

Asuka: You think I’ll let it end like this!?
It’s my turn!
I activate the effect of Nasatya from my Graveyard!
By banishing a Cyber Angel besides itself from the Graveyard,
I can Special Summon one Nasatya!

Asuka: With that effect, I can take control of one monster on my opponent’s Field!

Yuri: What!?

Sora: She did it!
She took control of the 3000 ATK dragon!

Yuri: How evil!
Not only do you steal students from Academia,
But you also steal even my monster!

Asuka: Right back at you!
You robbed many important friends from us!
Now you know how painful it is to have the things you treasure robbed from you!

Yuri: The things I treasure?

Asuka: I activate Nasatya’s Monster Effect!
Once per turn, I can increase my Life Points by half the ATK of a monster on my Field!
I choose Antique Gear Reactor Dragon!

Sora: Reactor Dragon can attack two times!
If she inflicts 3000 damage twice…

Asuka: Battle!
With Antique Gear Reactor Dragon, I conduct a direct att--

Yuri: At this moment, I activate the Trap Card, Unfinished Antique Gear!
With it, I can Special Summon Antique Gear Golem from my hand in Defense Position, ignoring its summoning conditions!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: However, the ATK and DEF of a monster Special Summoned through this effect will be halved.

Asuka: Your struggle is pointless, then!
Then, I attack Antique Gear Golem with Reactor Dragon!

Yuri: A monster Special Summoned through Unfinished Antique Gear’s effect cannot be destroyed in battle during this turn!

Asuka: But you’ll still receive piercing damage!

Asuka: Then, I attack a second time!
Go, Reactor Dragon!

Yuri: Ah!

Yuri: You’re pretty harsh.
But I still have a trump card!

Asuka: If it’s Polymerization, you won’t be able to use it.

Yuri: Hah!?

Asuka: Back then, I believed that Academia was right.
But now that I know the truth…
I won’t let anyone else be turned into card!

Asuka: Academia has to be erased.
I’ve made up my mind.
I won’t use this anymore!
I won’t let you use it, either.

Asuka: I send the Magic Card, Polymerization, from my hand to the Graveyard,
And activate the Continuous Magic, Fusion Destruction!

Yuri: Fusion Destruction!?

Asuka: I can check my opponent’s deck,
And banish up to three Magic or Trap Cards that have “Polymerization” or “Fusion” in their names,
Inflicting 300 damage for each one!

Yuri: Up to three cards!?

Asuka: You haven’t activated even one Polymerization during this Duel.
There should be three of them in your deck!
All right! Banish them!

Asuka: And then, you’ll receive a total of 900 damage!

Asuka: I end my turn with this.

Yuri: You’ve done so many horrible deeds…
You took my monster from me,
And even Polymerization as well…

Asuka: That’s how it’s always been for us.
Our friends were taken away, and turned into cards.
It was painful for all of us.
There are many people like that in the world!

Asuka: The pain of losing those you treasure…
Well? Do you understand how it feels now?

Yuri: Those…I treasure…

Asuka: Seems like you finally understood it.

Yuri: Yeah…
I didn’t think it’d be so painful.

Asuka: Now that you understand that pain,
You and I can probably become friends as well.

Asuka: If you can be brave,
You can escape from Academia!

Yuri: Escape…from Academia…

Yuri: As far as I know, I’m just an Academia student.
I don’t know any relatives, nor did I have any friends.
The only time I can connect with someone is when I Duel them.
It was fun defeating my opponents through Dueling…
However…
I was so strong that people resented me…
Eventually, nobody even bothers approaching me.
That time…
A man known as the Professor called out to me.
The Professor told me that when the Arc Area Project begins,
I can Duel as much as I like, and I can turn the people I defeated into cards.

Yuri: I had a lot of fun since then.
As I turned people into cards,
The Professor was pleased as well…

Yuri: But you know what,
None of it matters now.
I want to have fun, so I will continue to turn people into cards!

Leo: Huh!?

Yuri: Now, and forevermore!

Asuka: Hold on!
If you keep doing that,
There’s no way you’ll be able to gain a single friend!
If you turn everyone into cards, there’ll be no one left.
You’ll be all alone in the world!

Yuri: I’ll be all alone in this world?

Asuka: Eh?

Yuri: Sounds good…
That means that I am the strongest!

Yuri: All right, let’s continue where we left off.
It’s my turn!
I activate the Magic Card, Antique Gear Garage!
I return one Antique Gear from my Graveyard to my hand!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Yuri: I return Antique Gear Wyvern to my hand, and summon it!

Yuri: When Antique Gear Wyvern is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned,
I can add an Antique Gear card besides itself from the deck to my hand!
I add Antique Gear Box to my hand.
Then, by sending it to the Graveyard,
I can activate the Quick-Play Magic, Super Polymerization!

Sora: Super Polymerization!?

Asuka: Why is that card…!?
Why is that card in that deck…!?

Yuri: Ahahahaha!
Why, you asked?
Because I put it into the deck, obviously!
Or did you think that I’ll use it as it is without knowing the deck recipe?

Yuri: By the way, this card was in my hand from the beginning,
So you wouldn’t be able to banish it from the deck.

Asuka: From the beginning…
You tricked me!

Yuri: You’re an honor student, all right.
You really are honest to the point of stupidity!
Ahahahaha!

Yuri: With Super Polymerization, I can use monsters on both my and the opponent’s Fields as Fusion Materials!

Asuka: Wha…!?

Yuri: I’ll offer the monster that betrayed me as a sacrifice.

Asuka: B-But due to the Continuous Magic, Fusion Destruction, the activation of a Polymerization card will…

Yuri: It won’t work!
No effect can be activated in response to Super Polymerization’s activation!

Yuri: I’m fusing my Antique Gear Golem and Antique Gear Wyvern, as well as the Antique Gear Reactor Dragon on your Field!
Ancient giant!
Soaring dragon!
Dragon that shines in the depths!
Become one now,
And demonstrate your tremendous power!
Fusion Summon!
Come forth!
Level-10! Antique Gear Ultimate Golem!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Asuka: 4400 ATK!

Yuri: Hahahaha!

Yuri: Unfortunately,
It looks like we’re not going to become friends after all!

Asuka: You didn’t care about that all along!

Yuri: Haha!
Battle!
Antique Gear Ultimate Golem attacks Cyber Angel Nasatya!
Antique Gear Ultimate Golem can inflict piercing damage!
This is the end!
(Buy Ancient Gears, kids)

Asuka: AAAHHHHHH!

Yuri: I can’t live without turning people into cards.
It’s like breathing to me.
Thanks to you,
I was able to have a dream.
A dream where I turn all people in the world…No, in all dimensions, into cards!
Hahahaha!

Asuka: You…

Yuri: AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Asuka: NOOOOO!

Yuri: Thank you.
Honor student, Asuka-san.
Well then, next up is…

Sora: How!?

Yuri: Oh, that’s right.
As a matter of fact, I can use the system of this place as well.
I had you play the role of a trapped mouse.

Yuri: After all…where’s the fun in it if there’s no spectators?
Ahahaha!

Sora: You…

Yuri: Well then, it’s time for your execution, Shiun’in Sora.

Obelisk Student: If you’re looking for that Yuzu girl,
She should be in the laboratory up ahead…

Yuya: Thank you!

Yuya: YUZUUUUUU!

Yuto: Ruri! You’re safe!

Yuya: Ruri…Kurosaki’s sister.

Ruri: Let’s Duel, Sakaki Yuya!
I shall turn you into a card!

Yuto: Turning us into cards!?
She’s totally not herself!

Yuya: Yeah! This must be Academia’s doing!

Yuto: Remember! Dueling is supposed to bring smiles! (Egao Count: 221+1 = 222)
