During the Yusei Duel, the participant that Kyu will face: Ryu Banjo starts working on his Deck in anticipation of his Duel against Kyu when a security guard enters the room.

"Excuse me sir, someone to ask that you receive this before your Duel." Explained the security guard, giving him an envelope.

"I see, thanks." Ryu said grabbing the envelope.

The security guard left the room and Ryu opened the envelope to see two cards surrounded by a dark aura that seemed to fascinate him. And once the security guard came out of the room a spider fell off his jacket and slightly lost his balance.

"What am I doing here? I'm supposed to be watching the entrance to Dome." He said to himself as he went to the area assigned to him.

Several tens of minutes later, Kyu runs in the corridors as fast as he can towards the platform while his name was called a little earlier indicating that it is his turn.

"Why was there such a long line at the hot dog stand?!" He said before he reached the platform before she started climbing.

"Now here is our dragon hunter! He says he fought the Dragon Mage and defeated him! The Hero of the victims of this monster! Ryu Banjo!" Says the commentator as Ryu enters the arena through a platform.

"Like the Dragon Mage, I will make my opponents taste the taste of defeat." Ryu said as his eyes darken.

"Our survivor has already announced his victory! And here is his opponent for this Duel! Says the commentator while a second platform several put in front of Ryu. "Student of the Duel Academy as talented in his studies as to take risks! Will we all be witnessing a stroke of genius from him?! Kyu Yamai!" Says the commentator as silence begins to reign in the dome.

"We'll see if your victory against the Dragon Mage is truth where lies." Kyu said as if the answer was obvious.

"I will prove to you that it is the case." Ryu said as his Duel Disk and his opponent's are activated.


"Duel!" Say the two opponents ready to defeat the other.

Kyu : 4000 Life point

Ryu : 4000 Life point

" I'm going to start." Ryu said, drawing a card. "I will first play the Red Medicine magic card that allows me to gain 500 life." Ryu said as his life point counter goes up.

Ryu : 4500 Life point

"Then I summon the Alexandrite Dragon in attack mode." Ryu said placing a monster card on his Duel Disk while a dragon standing on two legs and whose scales look like jewels appear before him. The Alexandrite Dragon (LV4, Type: Dragon, Attribute: Light, Atk: 2000, Def: 100). "I then place a face-down card and play the card magic card changer, this card will allow me at the beginning of my turn if I wish after digging to put a card of my hand in my game, to mix and to draw a new card. And that's how I finish my turn." Kyu said as he performed the actions he explained.

"So it's up to me to play. And I see that my cards have decided to show that you never really face the Dragon Mage." Kyu said picking up her sixth card, surprising the crowd with her statements.

"Of course I've already faced him, I even defeated him." Ryu said.

"I'll remember if it was." Kyu retorted.

"What do you mean?" Ryu asked.

"For starters, I summon Sangan in attack mode." Kyu said as a monster looking like a hairball with three eyes, a mouth and arms and legs appears on the ground. Sangan (LV03, Type: Demon/Effect, Attributes: Dark, Atk: 1000 Def: 600). "Then I play the double invocation allowing me to perform a new invocation. And I summon the magician's dress in attack mode." Kyu said as a monster resembling the outfit worn by Yugi Muto's legendary Dark Magician but with no one inside. The Magician's Dress (LV02, Type: Spellcaster/Effect, Attributes: Dark, Atk: 700 Def: 2000).

"There is not enough power to destroy my Dragon so what importance." Ryu said.

"Because they will not stay long in the field thanks to the magic card, Polymerization." Kyu said as his two monsters rush into a spiral. "With the power of Polymerization, I bring out the most toxic monster ever seen with which you've learned to fear me! I summon Fusion the Fusion Monster Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Kyu said as a monster emerges from the spiral.

This Dragon looks like a snake with purple wings, arms and legs and red or yellow rounds on almost round the body.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (LV8, Type: Dragon/Fusion/Effect, Attributes: Dark, Atk: 2800 Def: 2000)

"This dragon! This is the one of the Dragon Mage, I saw it with my eyes played this card! he put me in the hospital and destroyed my old Duel Disk." Shouted a spectator in shock.


In the room where her meets the participant Akiza looks at the Kyu Duel and was surprised to see that he is even more booed than it was during his Duel. But she also understood what he meant by saying that he became something as well known as herself.


The crowd began to insult Kyu, but he did not pay attention until he pointed to Ryu.

"Unbelievable! After learning that Akiza Izinski is the Witch of the Black Rose, we learn that Kyu Yamai is the Dragon Mage. But will this tournament have another turnaround?" Says the commentator.

"Thanks to Sangan's ability, I can pass monster with a maximum of 1500 points of attack from my Deck to my hand, and I choose the Magician of Faith." Kyu said taking the monster he pointed out from his Deck before mixing it again. "Now it's time for you to reap the fruit of your lies! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, attack his monster!" Kyu said as his Dragon starts attacking Ryu's.

"Not so fast I activate my trap card, Gravity Bind. Time this card is on the field, no level 4 or higher monster will be able to attack." Ryu said, preventing the attack from taking place on his monster.

"I'm finishing my turn." Kyu said.

"I will finally be able to earn my reputation." Ryu said, drawing a card. "I summon, Heraldic Beast Aberconway." Ryu said while a dragon with what appears to be white armor on his arms, legs and skull. This is Heraldic Beast Aberconway (LV4, Type: Dragon/Effect, Attributes: Wind, Atk: 1800 Def: 900). "I'm finishing my turn." Ryu said.

Kyu drew a card and thought for a second to think of a new strategy.

"I place a face-back monster and finish my turn." Kyu said placing a monster card on his Duel Disk.

"You must be disappointed that this dragon is useless, dirty monster." Ryu said arrogantly in drawing a card. "I summon the Dragon Dowser in attack mode. And I finish my turn." He said, citing a dragon like a pendulum. Dragon Dowser (LV4, Type: Wyrm / Effect, Attributes: Earth, Atk: 1500 Def: 1500).

"He is preparing something else, otherwise he would not play so many monsters. I'm going to let him play his strategy, once he's happy with his strategy, I'll ruin his satisfaction." Kyu thought pulling a card. "I'm finishing my turn." He says he can not play anything.

Ryu draws a card and a smile appears on his face.

"I sacrifice my Heraldic Beast Aberconway and my Heraldic Beast Aberconway, to summon Lightray Daedalus!" Ryu said as the two monsters mention disappear to give way to a monster reminiscent of a Sea Serpent. Lightray Daedalus (LV7, Type: Sea Serpent/Effect, Attribute: Light, Atk: 2600 Def: 1500). "I leave you your hand." He said.

"They are trapped now! Because of the Gravity Bindle, no one can attack each other's monsters despite the powerful monster summon." Says the commentator.

Kyu draws a card and smiles a smile on his face.

"I play the magic card Ancient Rules, this card allows me to specifically summon a level 5 or higher normal monster in my hand. And thanks to this card I summon Dark Magician in attack mode." Kyu said invoking a version of Yugi Muto's best-known monster, but he has greenish skin, blond hair and red-colored patterns.

Dark Magician (LV7, Type: Spellcaster, Attributes: Dark, Atk: 2500 Def: 2100)

"Impossible! The Dragon Mage has earned his nickname because he owns the legendary Yugi Muto's fetish card!" Shouted the commentator with shock.

"I'm finishing my turn." Kyu said smiling with a certain joy at being able to show one of his most valuable cards.

"Having this card will not guarantee you victory." Ryu said, drawing a card. "I summon Dragon Influence in attack mode." He said, placing on the ground the map of a humanoid dragon with a pterodactyl-like head. Influence Dragon (LV3, Type: Dragon/Tuner/Effect, Attributes: Wind, Atk: 300 Def: 900).

"Then I associate the Influence Dragon with the Alexandrite Dragon to Summon the Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon." Ryu said, performing a synchronous invocation to summon an awesome red dragon with a blue sphere in the body and a red eye and a blue one. The Odd-Eyes Dragon Influence Meteorburst (LV7, Type: Dragon/Synchro/Effect, Attributes: Fire, Atk: 2500 Def: 2000). "Then I use the Silent Judgment card to bring the Alexandria Dragon back into defense mode." He said as the Dragon he was about to mention reappeared in defense mode. "I'm finishing my turn. He said, leaving his hand to Kyu.

Kyu drew a card and decided to use it later.

"I place a card face-down and finish my turn." Kyu said placing a card in his magic and trap area.

"You seem to be running out of strategy." Ryu said, drawing a card. "I summon a second Dragon Alexandria." And I finish my turn. Ryu said.

"Glad to see that your trap is blocking both of us." Kyu said picking a card. "I sacrifice my monster back to summon the apprentice Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl." Kyu said while instead of her face-down monster is a girl whose outfit is similar to that of the Dark Magician, except that she is mostly blue and pink with some touches of yellow. She has blond hair, green eyes and a wand that matches her outfit.

Dark Magician Girl (LV6, Type: Spellcaster/Effect, Attributes: Darkness, Atk: 2000 Def: 1700)

"It's amazing you must believe that the Dragon Mage has more rare map in his game than we can think. Not only does he have the Dark Magician but also the Dark Magician Girl. I think he'll have to better watch his cards now." Says the commentator.

"I finish my turn and let you run to your loss." Kyu said.

"We'll see if your Spellcasters and this dragon will stand up to this monster. Ryu said, drawing a card. "I sacrifice my two Alexandrite Dragons to summon the Metaphys Armed Dragon." Ryu said as his two Alexandrite Dragons disappear to make room for a greyish blue-skinned dragon that seemed to have armor on almost all of his body.

Metaphys Armed Dragon (LV7, Type: Wyrm, Attributes: Light, Atk: 2800 Def: 1000)

"Then I stack it with Daedalus to summon the XYZ monster of Rank 7 Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon." Ryu said surprising everyone except Kyu as his new monster and the one to mention turns into energy entering what appears to be a galaxy appearing on the ground smoothing up a dragon similar to Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon but the eyes are reversed and the red of the body gives way to a blue ice. Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon (Rank 7, Type: Dragon/Synchro/Effect, Attribute: Water, Atk: 2800 Def: 2500).

" But what is this ! He has just summoned a kind of monster never seen before! If you have information about this kind of card I'm interested!" Says the commentator.

"And now, since my monster has no rank, he can attack one of your monsters despite my trap. So, Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon, destroys his Dark Magician Girl." Ryu ordered as his Dragon destroyed the Dark Magician Girl, causing Kyu to lose some points.

Kyu : 3200 Life point

"I'm finishing my turn." Ryu said.

"This duel is over." Kyu said picking a card as he looks angrily at Ryu.

"Why are you giving up?" Ryu asked.

"No, because I play the magic card, Dark Magic Attack, it allows me if I have a Dark Magician on the ground to destroy all my opponent's magic and trap cards." Kyu explained as the two cards in Ryu's magic and trap area disappear. "Then I play Lightning Vortex. Which means that by discarding a card all your monsters are destroyed." He said, sending a card into his graveyard while everyone in Ryu was destroyed.

"Oh, no!" Ryu shouted realizing what that meant.

"Now Dark Magician, Starving Dragon Fusion Venom, attack his life points and avenge the Dark Magician Girl!" Kyu shouted as his two monsters violently attack Ryu who ends up on the ground with a lot of bruising and unconsciousness as the cards of his dragons disappear from his Duel Disk.

Ryu : 0 Life point


"What do you see beyond the monster?" Kyu said before turning around and leaving the arena.

The crowd was even more frightened than by Akiza when she beat Gill, she began to insult Kyu who paid no attention to it and continued to walk.

Once in the corridors he finds himself facing Akiza who looks at him with a certain coldness.

"That's what you meant when you said I'm not the monster to be feared?" Akiza asked.

"Yes, we may both have Duel Disks, but when I deem it necessary, my opponents are lucky to just finish in the hospital." Kyu said pulling the Dark Magician Girl card from his Deck. "He took one of the cards I care about most, so he paid." He said.

"Why are you so much for this card?" Akiza asked.

"This card has more for me than anyone else for a year." Kyu replied.

"You never think that this will not be your Duel Disk, but you causing this kind of damage?" Akiza asked.

"No, I do not think we can do that kind of thing. But if I have evidence to the contrary, I am ready to consider it." Kyu replied.

"I see." Akiza said as she walks away from Kyu who returns to the room where the attendees gather until she meets a man with brown hair and green eyes wearing a raincoat and gloves.

"A friend of yours?" The man asked.

"No, just an acquaintance." Akiza replied.

"I advise you not to attach too much to him, he could be your next opponent." The man said.

"I know, but I find it strange. He is like us but prefer to think it's his Duel Disk that causes the damage." Akiza said.

"So if you confront yourself, show him that he is wrong." The man said.

Later, as he looks at his Dark Magician Girl's card, Kyu begins yawning as the commentator speaks to the audience again.

"Everybody ! Yes we have a hot news! The sponsor of this event, Goodwin, has just made us a surprising proposal! Hey, you losers who unfortunately were beaten in the first round, do you hear that !? It was decided that a catch-up match would take place! Yeah! We will now do the draw for the catch-up match! This match will randomly pit two players! And the lucky person has unfortunately lost to the Grieger player, but at just eleven, his talents have been approved by sponsor Goodwin! She has a future and will rise to the sky! The Angel of Duel come from Heaven! Miss Luna!" Says the commentator.

"It gives me some time to pawn before returning home, I thank Goodwin that the semifinal is happening tomorrow." Kyu said before putting his card on top of her Deck before placing her arms on the table to sleep as a female voice begins to call him.
