The crowd was cheering their hearts out, it was the Tokyo dueling arena and the final duel in the Japanese National Tournament was underway. The winner would be crowned Champion of Japan and also get to represent Japan in the Asian World Tournament qualifiers, if they win that and they would earn the chance of a life time. To represent their country in the World Tournament. On the right, with 6600 Life Points remaining was the three time Japanese Champion, three time Asian champion and three time World Champion, Hitachi Katakana. On the left with just 1200 of his Life Points left was a rookie duelist who had shocked the audience by even making it to the final, Kazuki Nakamura.
Things looked bad for the rookie however, he had no monsters on the field, he was behind in terms of Life Points and he was up against an Ancient Gear Golum. On top of everything, it was Katakana's turn. "This looks like the end for Nakamura," came the commentator's voice, and it looked like he was right. "It is time to end this Kazuki, I am about to become a four time Japanese Champion," said Katakana. "Ancient Gear Golum, destroy his remaining life points!" The Ancient Gear Golum had 3000 attack points while Kazuki had no monsters on the field.
But attack points aren't everything. "I activate the trap card, Magic Cylinder therefore you lose 3000 Life Points and your turn ends right now, reducing your remaining Life Points to 3600. My turn!" Kazuki then drew a card and put it on the Spell and Trap card zone instead of Magic Cylinder, he had two cards left in his hand. "Perfect," he said. "I summon Toon Alligator in attack mode. But I'm not done, I activate my spell card Change of Heart to take control of your Golum.
But since you have a face down defense monster I will not take a chance and attack it, I activate a second spell card Toon World then activate this trap card, Ultimate Offering which allows me to sacrifice 500 of my Life Points, bringing them to 700 so I can tribute my Toon Alligator and your Golum to summon Blue Eyes Toon Dragon in attack mode.
Being a Toon monster, Blue Eyes is allowed to attack your Life Points directly since you have no Toon monsters on the field, it needs 600 more attack points so that I can beat you and I have just the thing. I activate my third spell card the Equip Magic card Malevolent Nuzzler giving the Toon Dragon 700 more attack points, just enough to finish you. Toon Dragon, attack his Life Points!"
"Not so fast, I have a Trap card of my own, Ironically it is the same one you just used last turn, Magic Cylinder! You are the one who is going to lose my friend!"
"I knew you would do something like that so I activate my final card on the Magic and Trap card zone, the Trap Card Trap Jammer. With your Magic Cylinder destroyed my attack goes as planned!"
"No!" yelled Katakana as he watched his Life Point meter drop to zero. He had lost, Kazuki Nakamura was the new Japanese Champion!
"Mr. Nakamura, do you have a comment?" came the voice of a reporter holding a microphone. "Yes, I would like to thank my parents, my family and everyone who believed in me for I made it this far because of them and I hope to do well and rank among the top four in the Asian qualifiers and maybe represent Japan in the World Tournament. I would also like to say hard luck to my opponent Hitachi Katakana who showed excellent duel skills." Kazuki then went and shook Katakana's hand and smiled while making the V sign to the TV cameras. He then walked out of the arena.
