AN: Hey everyone, I have the next chapter here. Between playing FFVII: Remake, I sat down to do more of this series. This one is an awesome duel I couldn't wait to write. As one reviewer put it, it's the clashing between the Moon and the Thunder. It was honestly hard to pick the winner in the end, but I think this was an appropriate result. Hope you enjoy this chapter, leave a review with your comments and questions, and have a nice day.

Chapter 25 – The Next Year: Blue Pt. 1

In the girl's restroom, Blake splashed faucet water onto her face. After drying off with a paper towel, she looked at herself in the mirror, "This is it." She said before exhaling. As she walked out to the hallway, she saw a person walking out of the boy's bathroom. He wore a long coat that was as black as his hair, "Chazz," Blake said as their eyes locked, a slight glare at each other.

"Blake," Chazz responded, "You're the only thing standing in my way from regaining my place in Obelisk Blue."

"I made it my goal to enter Obelisk Blue on my own merit," Blake retorted, "I won't hold back."

"Neither will I," Chazz said before crossing his arms, "We may be friends now, but I still haven't forgotten how you hurt Alexis."

Blake's scowl slightly grew in anger, but Chazz remained unflinching. However, she sighed and closed her eyes, "I haven't forgotten my time as a Shadow Rider either." She said before opening her eyes, "But that is not who I am anymore."

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard, "I would hope so," The two turned around to see two female Obelisk Blue students. One had long dirty blonde hair, the other with white and tied in a side ponytail. The first had the sleeveless white vest and blue mini skirt. While the other had a white long sleeve cutoff jacket with a blue interior, as well as a more maneuverable light blue skirt, "Otherwise you would have to answer to us." The heiress Obelisk Blue said with a smirk.

"Hey Weiss," Blake said with a slight giggle.

"H-hey Alexis," Chazz said as he blushed.

"Chazz, I don't need you to fight my battles for me." Alexis responded before looking to Blake with a smile, "And I don't hold grudges with my friends."

"Thank you," Blake said with a nod, "That means a lot." However, the shadowy Ra Yellow pulled her head back as Weiss pointed at her.

"But don't you think that winning will automatically make you the strongest Obelisk Blue Student." Weiss said before pointing to herself, "That title will belong to me."

"Hey!" Chazz interjected, "Why do you assume I'll lose?"

"You play Ojama cards," Weiss responded with half-open eyes.

Suddenly, the brotherly duel spirts in red speedos emerged, "Hey, we take offense to that!" The Ojama brothers said with the heiress Obelisk Blue, giving them a cold stare, reducing them to a block of ice.

"I was still able to beat you, the same as Blake." Chazz countered, "No matter what's in my deck, I play to win, and make any card a winner." With his encouragement, the Ojama brothers broke free with a cheer.

Alexis sighed, "Regardless, none of you beat Zane before he graduated." She said, "He took the title with him when he went to the pro-leagues."

"True, but I know a loophole," Weiss responded, "If I beat the headteacher of the Obelisk Blue dorm, that should be enough to earn me the title."

"Oh, Dr. Crowler is back from his vacation?" Chazz inquired.

"Yes, he also brought a new transfer student for the Obelisk Blue dorm." Alexis responded, "Atticus is showing him around right now."

"After your match, the victor can watch me become the Strongest Obelisk Blue at Duel Academy," Weiss said with her head held high and smirk on her face.

"Yikes, you're extra egotistical today," Chazz commented before his pocket buzzed. In taking out his scroll, he saw a message before looking to Blake, "We have to get going, Chancellor Sheppard is expecting us in the arena." He said with her nodding back.

"See you from the stands," Alexis said with a smile and way. Blake responded in kind, as did Chazz, but he blushed with his palms slightly sweaty.

A few minutes later.

The arena seats were packed with only Obelisk Blue Students. Weiss and Alexis were in the front row, watching as Chazz entered the right side of the arena. While Blake entered the left. At the center, a large bald man in deep red stood with a smile and hands behind his back, "Another year to expand our knowledge of duel monsters." He said before shifting between looking at Chazz and Blake, "However, these two are in a duel to decide who has learned the most in the last year. And as a reward, the winner will advance to Obelisk Blue." Chancellor Sheppard said before closing his eyes, his smile slightly growing, "For the loser, I will expect a ten-page report on the duel. So, a lot is at stake." He said before turning around and walking off the arena, "You may begin whenever you're ready."

At the same moment, both students loaded their duel disks before drawing their starting hand, "Duel!" The two stated, causing the battle for blue to begin.

Blake: 4000 Life Points

Chazz: 4000 Life Points

"The Chazz goes first." Chazz said as he drew, "I summon Ojama Black in defense mode." He said as the pudgy brother appeared in a kneeling stance, (0 ATK / 1000 DEF).

"Hey lady," Ojama Black said with a grin at Blake, "How you doin?" He said with Wiess groaning from the audience.

Chazz then took out over half of his remaining hand, "I set three cards and end my turn."

"My move," Blake said as she drew, activating the spell immediately, "I play Polymerization, fusing my Lunalight Emerald Bird and Yellow Marten," She said as the vortex appeared behind her, "To summon Lunalight Cat Dancer." She said as the elegantly masked feline entered the battlefield with daggers in hand and a seductive meow, (2400 ATK / 2000 DEF).

"Heh, just what I was hoping for." Chazz said with a grin, "I activate Chthonian Polymer. With it, I can tribute my monster to take control of your fusion." He said as Ojama Black faded away, causing Cat Dancer to be engulfed in flames. Blake gasped as her monster walked to the other side of the field. In turning around, Cat Dancer hissed with sharper fangs and jagged mask with red eyes.

"I see, Chazz was prepared for her fusion summon," Alexis commented.

"Without your Cat Dancer, it locks you out of most of your other fusion." Chazz taunted his opponent, "You can now defend with your normal summon. Or, better yet, just give up and run back to the Ra Yellow dorm to get writing."

Blake scowled as she tightened her right first, "I am not running away," She declared, "I use Yellow Marten's effect. Since she was sent to the graveyard, I can add a Lunalight spell or trap to my hand." She said as the card ejected, then was instantly play, "I pick Lunalight Fusion!" Blake said before looking to Cat Dancer, "Since my opponent has a monster that was special summoned from the extra deck, I can use one Lunalight monster from my extra deck as material." She said as she took two cards out of her hand and one fusion monster, "So, I fuse Lunalight Panther Dancer, Crimson Fox, and Purple Butterfly." Once again, the vortex appeared behind the shadowy Ra Yellow, "To summon Lunalight Leo Dancer!" Emerging out was the prideful Lunalight, her mask shattering before reforming as a hair accessory, (3500 ATK /3000 DEF).

"Two fusions in one turn." Weiss commented, "That's Blake for you."

"Crimson Fox's effect now activates," Blake commented, "Since the card was sent to the graveyard by a card effect, one of your monster's attack points becomes zero." She said as Chazz gasped with Cat Dancer losing the fiery aura, (2400 – 2400 = 0 ATK). "Leo Dancer, attack Cat Dancer with Semilunar Slasher!" Blake declared as her monster went to attack its once ally. Cat Dancer attempted a stab with her daggers, but Leo Dancer ducked, running her cold blade running through the monster's heart.

Chazz: 4000 – 3500 = 500 Life Points

"Cat Dancer cannot be destroyed by battle," Blake stated, a small amount of regret in her voice, "But Leo Dancer allows me to destroy all special summoned monster on your field." She said as the prideful Lunalight pulled out her sword, causing Cat Dancer to fall to her knees before laying to the side, motionless. Leo Dancer looked down in sorrow as Cat Dancer's body faded away, "As well, she can make a second attack." Blake stated as the prideful Lunalight glared at Chazz, "It's over." She said as her monster charged into battle.

"I don't think so," Chazz said as he revealed his facedown "I play Ojamatching. By sending Ojama Green from my hand the graveyard, I can add Armed Dragon LV5 and Ojama Yellow to my hand." He said before searching his deck and picking the two cards, "What's more, I can immediately normal summon Ojama Yellow in defense mode." He said as noodle-eyes Ojama was summoned, now with boxing shorts and gloves, (0 ATK / 1000 DEF).

"Alright Boss, let me at em!" Ojama Yellow said as he shadowboxed, then looked up at Leo Dancer glaring at him, "Uhh…" He said as his whole body was sweating, "…Meow?" At that moment, Leo Dancer cut Ojama Yellow in half, creating a massive explosion.

"Tsk." Blake scoffed before looking at the last card in her hand, "I'll set this and end my turn."

Alexis and Weiss continued to watch from the stands, "One turn and she already took him down to 500 life points." Alexis commented, "Chazz has a lot cut out for him."

"If anyone knows what it's like to be down at the bottom, it's him." Weiss said before Chazz drew, "But, while others see that as a negative," She said before seeing him smile, "It motivates him to climb even higher and faster."

"I play Ojamodification," Chazz said before showing a fusion monster from his extra deck, "I can reveal a light machine fusion monster, then banish my three Ojama's. In doing so, I can special summon all three materials. Meet X-Head Cannon," He said as a purple humanoid machine with blasters on his shoulders appeared, (1800 ATK / 1500 DEF). "Y-Dragon Head," Next to it was a red metal dragon, (1500 ATK / 1000 DEF). "And Z-Metal Tank." Next to them were a set of mobile treads with a single eye at the center, (1500 ATK / 1300 DEF). "And now, I banish them all to fusion summon," He said as the monster began to disassemble, the dragon head's wings flew off as the head cannon locked on top while the metal tank was below, "XYZ-Dragon Cannon," Chazz said as his monster radiated blue electricity, (2800 ATK / 2600 DEF).

"Your monster does not have enough attack points," Blake commented, "Nor can it's effect target Leo Dancer."

"I'm nowhere near done yet." Chazz responded, taking a card out of his graveyard before putting it away, then taking out three cards, "I remove Ojamodification to add all three Ojama brothers back to my deck." He said before doing so, the deck auto shuffling, "Then, I draw a card." Chazz said before taking another card out of his hand, "I play Graceful Charity, letting me draw three and discard two."

Blake saw that one of the cards was the Armed Dragon LV5, "Why did he add it to his hand if he was going to discard it?"

"Look at that, I drew Pot of Greed. Meaning more cards for me." Chazz said before drawing two, them playing one, "Now, I summon V-Tiger Jet." Chazz said before a green and yellow aircraft rocketed into battle, (1600 ATK / 1800 DEF). "Next, I play Frontline Base, allowing me to special summon the union monster, W-Catapult Wing." He said as blue flattop drone sowed in, (1300 ATK / 1500 DEF). "Now, I banish them both," He said as the tiger jet mounted the catapult wing, "To fusion summon VW-Tiger Catapult." He said as the monster roared with a metallic screech, (2000 ATK / 2100 DEF).

"Both of those monsters," Weiss commented, "Is he-"

"Any chump can do two fusions in a single turn," Chazz said before grinning, "But I'm no chump." He said as Blake gritted her teeth, "I banish both VW-Tiger Catapult and XYZ-Dragon Cannon." Chazz said as his monster disassembled and reformed into a massive mechanical titan towering almost to the height of the arena ceiling, "To make VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!" He said as mechanical titan pulsated with a wave of power, (3000 ATK / 2800 DEF).

"It's big," Blake commented, "But it doesn't scare me."

"Heh, we'll see about that." Chazz said as Blake had a look of confusion, "I activate Call of Haunted on my Armed Dragon LV5." He said as the black and red boxer dragon was brought back from the graveyard, (2400 ATK / 1700 DEF). "Next, I play my last card, Level Up!" Chazz said as his armored dragon grew, going into his next form, "Say hello to Armed Dragon LV7!" He said with the dragon at almost the same height as the mechanical titan, (2800 ATK / 1000 DEF).

"What is he-" Blake said before seeing Chazz pointing up, his eyes closed.

"You see, most would stop at three fusion summons in one turn." Chazz said as Blake gasped, "But I'm always ready to Chazz It Up!"

The crowd began to cheer, "Chazz It Up! Chazz It Up! Chazz It Up! Chazz It Up!"

"Here goes, I banish VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon and Armed Dragon LV7," Chazz said as the mechanical titan dissembled, its body parts attaching to the armed dragon. The trends combining with his arms, the wings mounted on the back. The armed dragon was armored with every weapon imaginable, "Meet Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon!" He said with the unstoppable fighter dragon robot roaring a monstrous battle cry, (3500 ATK / 3000 DEF).

Blake slight gritted her teeth before letting out a breath, "It's okay," She thought before looking at her face down, "He plans to crash into my monster, destroying us both, and hoping I will not draw a monster next turn. However, my Call of the Haunted will let me summon back a Lunalight to win me this duel."

"I end my turn," Chazz said with his arms crossed, "Your move."

"Huh?" Blake said, "He didn't do it?" She thought before drawing, "No matter, I can still-"

"I activate my monster's effect." Chazz said as a card ejected from his deck, "I banish Armed Dragon LV10 from my deck." He said before pointing, "In order to banish every card you control and in your graveyard."

"WHAT!?" Blake responded before seeing both cards on her field vanish. As well, her two other fusions monster, fusion spells, and some off her Lunalight monster. All were removed from play in an instant. "I…I…" Blake said as she looked at the lone card in her hand, knowing it was one she could not play, "I…end my turn."

Chazz grinned as he saw victory in grasp. While his main monster could not finish the job, all he needed was something with a few attack points…However, "Hey Boss!" Ojama Yellow said as he looked back from his card, "How's it going?"

Chazz's right eye twitched before sighing, "I attack you directly with Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon." He said before the mechanical dragon titan reeled back for a right hook, "Go, Rocket Crusher!" Chazz declared before jets in the tread arms went off, launching the punch at near-instantaneous speeds. Blake braced herself as the impact let out a massive shockwave over the area.

Blake: 4000 – 3500 = 500 Life Points

"He actually tied it up," Alexis commented.

"Yeah," Weiss said before looking over, seeing Chazz fuming with anger as Ojama Yellow hovered over his head.

Blake's breathing was heavy as she looked up at the mechanical dragon titan, "I draw!" She said before seeing it as a card she could play, "I activate Swords of Counseling Light!" the shadowy Ra Yellow said as Chazz saw black swords fall from the sky, "Thanks to it, all your monsters are switched to facedown defense position and cannot change battle positions." She said as Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon transformed into a set card, "However, my card is destroyed at my second standby phase."

"She slowed down that monster," Alexis commented, "But she is still defenseless."

"I draw!" Chazz said before doing do so, hoping for a better monster than before.

…However, "Brother, it's me!" Ojama Green said from his card, causing Chazz to grind his teeth.

"I end my turn." Chazz regretfully said as Weiss sighed.

"I draw," Blake said before glancing at the card, "I'll set this and end my turn."

Chazz drew, knowing the odds would be near impossible that it would be- "Bros! Boss! How's it going!" Ojama Black said from his card, "Did we win yet?"

"Nope, not quite." Ojama Green answered.

"Boss has her on the ropes," Ojama Yellow added on, "He just needs to draw the right card." He then looked up to see Chazz's face red with rage, "Uh, Boss? Please breathe."

"I…end my turn," Chazz said with a deep exhale.

Blake readied for her draw, her eyes closed as she put her fingers on her deck, "I cannot keep hoping he doesn't get a playable card, I need to act now." She thought before drawing, causing the black swords to vanish. In opening her eyes, a slight smile formed, "Perfect." Blake said before playing the card, "I summon Lunalight Blue Cat in attack mode." She said as the feline ballerina pirouette onto the battlefield, (1600 ATK / 1200 DEF). "Next, I play Wild Nature's Release. This gives my monster an attack increases equal to her current defense points." The shadowy Ra Yellow said as Blue Cat clenched her fists, her body pulsating with a lunar aura, (1600 + 1200 = 2800 ATK).

"It's impressive, but not enough." Weiss commented, "His set monster has 3000 defense points."

"I activate my trap card, Kunai with Chain." Blake said as her monster was equipped with a three-edged blade connected to a steel chain, "With it, Blue Cat gains 500 attack points." She said as Chazz gasped, (2800 + 500 = 3300 ATK). "Go!" Blake ordered as her Blue Cat leaped into battle. The set monster revealed itself to be Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon, who tried to reel before for a punch. However, Blue Cat swiftly slashed the mechanical dragon titan across the neck, causing its body to go limp before exploding. The feline ballerina landed back to Blake's side, but then dropped her weapon as she fell to one knee, "Because of my spell card, Blue Cat is destroyed at the end phase." She said before her monster looked back, giving a small grin before fading away, "However, her effect now allows me to special summon a Lunalight from my deck." The shadowy Ra Yellow said before a card ejected, "I pick Lunalight Wolf." She said as a purple canine entered the field, its right leg raised for battle, (2000 ATK / 1800 DEF).

"You took out my strongest card," Chazz said before drawing.

"You still have us." The Ojama brothers said at the same time, each with a smile.

"…I play Card Destruction, discarding my hand to draw three new cards," Chazz said as he heard the screams of the monsters going to the graveyard, then took a moment to appreciate the silence. He smiled with a sigh before looking at his hand, "Next I play Tri-Wight. This lets me special summon three level two normal monsters from my graveyard."

A headstone appeared with three oddly shaped stone skulls. Suddenly, the three Ojama brothers busted out before landing on the ground in a kneeling stance, each with the same status, (0 ATK / 1000 DEF).

"They will not be able to save you," Blake responded, "Wolf can inflict piercing damage."

"You shouldn't underestimate these guys," Chazz countered before taking a card out of his hand, "I play Ojama Delta Hurricane. With all three brothers on the field, all your cards are destroyed."

"Alright bros, let's do this." Ojama Black said with the other two nodding. The three monsters jumped high in the air, touching butts in a triangular fashion, "Ojama,"

"Delta," Ojama Green said as they all began to spin.

"Hurricane!" Ojama Yellow said before the spinning went to blinding speed, forming a ring. The ring descended over Wolf before the Lunalight exploded. Blake shielded herself from the shockwave. As the smoke cleared, she gritted her teeth as all three Ojama brothers pointed and laughed at her empty field.

"Now, one more fusion." Chazz said as he took the last card out his hand, "I play Polymerization, fusing the three Ojama brothers." He said before all three of his monsters began to bounce around the whole arena, then headbutting each other at the same time, causing a plume of pink smoke, "To form Ojama King!" He said a massive, egg-shaped white Ojama was seen. He wore one more speedo on his head, as well as a crown and green cape. He stood in a praising stance with his hands pointing up, (0 ATK / 3000 DEF).

"Thank you," Ojama King spoke, then put his knuckles on his hips, "Thank you very much"

"3000 defense," Blakes said before looking down at her duel disk, seeing three Ojama stamps on her monster zones.

"When he out on the field, three of your monster zones are unable." Chazz responded, "I end my turn."

Blake drew, slightly gasping at the result. Her mind then flashed back to a short time ago, her walking back to her dorm room, discovering an envelope taped to her door. In taking it off and flipping it over, she saw the name of the Strongest Obelisk Blue in his handwriting. In opening the envelope, she found a short message and a single card:

Dear Blake,

While I should have done more to help, I hope this card leads to a brighter future. I'm terrible with goodbyes, but I wish you the best of luck. Take care.

- Zane.

Back in the duel, Blake had a small smile, then focused on her opponent, "I play Future Fusion. With it, I can send fusion material for a monster to the graveyard." Blake said as she took her Lunalight Black Sheep, White Rabbit, and Kaleido Chick out of her deck and into the graveyard.

"She's going for Sabre Dancer," Weiss commented as Blake ended her turn, leading the Chazz drawing. He set a card and then passed, "If Chazz gets a monster, or blocks those last two zones, it's over." The heiress Obelisk Blue said before Blake started her turn. She drew, set the card, then ended. As Chazz drew, he looked at the card and then set it as well, "I guess his luck ran out." Weiss commented before looking back to Blake.

"My turn," Blake said as she drew, causing her spell to activate again. "Enough time has passed, I fusion summon Lunalight Sabre Dancer!" She said as the spell card on the field glowed in a bright light. Emerging out the light was the vicious Lunalight with two swords, (3000 ATK / 2600 DEF). "She also gains 200 attack points for each Lunalight in my graveyard." Weiss watched at the new monster's swords glowed with the light of the monster in the graveyard, (3000 + 1000 = 4000 ATK). "Next, I summon Lunalight Tiger in attack mode." The shadowy Ra Yellow said as the black and yellow feline entered the battlefield, (1200 ATK / 800 DEF). "Chazz, I have used every Lunalight against you." She said before having a smile on her face, "No matter the outcome, you pushed me to limit."

"Same here," Chazz responded, a smile on his face, but one that was slightly more confident, "But this duel is not over just yet."

"Right," Blake said before pointing, "Sabre Dancer, attack Ojama King with Curved Blade Cross Cut!"

However, Chazz grinned, "I activate my facedown card, Ring of Destruction." He revealed as the collar with red grenades locked around Sabre Dancer's neck, "With it, your monster is destroyed, and we both take damage equal to its attack."

Weiss gasped, remembering this combo from her duel against Chazz. She looked at his field, seeing another face down, but knew what it was. Ring of Defense, with it, Chazz would be safe and win the duel. However, Blake saw this play coming, "I reveal my face down, Trap Jammer." The shadowy Ra Yellow said as Sabre Dancer broke free from the ring, tossing it aside before it exploded, "No matter what, I will keep moving forward!" She thought before the vicious Lunalight slashed through Ojama King, creating a massive explosion.

"Wow, you got me," Chazz said as the smoke cleared around his body. Blake focused on him as Lunalight Tiger readied her claws, "However, The Chazz always has a backup." He said before Blake saw the other facedown card revealed, causing her to gasp, "I activate Chthonian Blast! When my monster is destroyed, the weakest monster is destroyed as well, and we both take half its attack points as damage."

"But that means-" Blake said before Tiger looked down at the ground, seeing it erupted before getting destroyed. The shadowy Ra Yellow looked up to see flaming rocked raining down over both duelists. After the smoke cleared, she finished her comment, "It's a tie." She said as Sabre Dancer faded away.

Blake: 500 – 600 = 0 Life Points

Chazz: 500 – 600 = 0 Life Points

The crowd grumbled among themselves, "What does this mean for them?" Alexis asked Weiss, who did not have the answer.

Suddenly, Chancellor Sheppard walked back into the center of the arena, "Well, that was a fine duel from both students with an unexpected outcome." He said with his eyes closed, "I didn't plan on what to do in case of a draw. I suppose I could have both students remain in their respective grade levels." The Headmaster of Duel Academy said with a Blake and Chazz slightly disappointing, "However, that would not reward the hard work we have just witnessed from two amazing examples of what Duel Academy can produce. So, I will promote both Chazz Princeton and Blake Belladonna to Obelisk Blue!" Chancellor Sheppard declared as the crowd cheered in passion. Blake went from shock to happiness as everyone applauded her. Chazz waved as others cheered his catchphrase again. "Yes, but I would also like a twelve-page report from both students about this duel." He said before walking off, "You can give it to Dr. Crowler in the morning."

"Wait what?" Blake and Chazz said at the same time, a look of panic in both their eyes. Chancellor Sheppard had a jubilant laugh as he walked out of the arena, causing the two new Obelisk Blues to sigh. However, they turned towards Alexis and Weiss, both of which were still applauding their new dorm members. Chazz and Blake then smiled before looking at each other, giving a slight nod to their friend.

AN: There you go, two new students to added to the rank of Obelisk Blue. Blake and Chazz both put everything they had into that duel, using every ace I could think of. Only Chazz can bust out four fusions in a single turn. Then right after, Ojama brick. Blake also got to put her Lunalight cards to the test, with also a little help from an old friend. I knew I wanted both to advance to this grade level, but I flipped between who would win in planning. Even though one happened not too long ago, I felt a tie was in order. Yu-Gi-Oh has had a tradition of showing that, while winning results are important, effort and determination speak more about one's character growth and deserve recognition. Next up, Weiss is on the path to become the Strongest Obelisk Blue. However, she must get past the OG ancient gear duelist back from vacation. As well, the long-awaited ARC-V characters shows up, and he has something planned for his introduction. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.

Now for some answering some questions. One was what the RWBY Manga does better than the original series. Best way to simply put it, I look at the official manga version of RWBY as the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood of the original series. It's the condensed aspects I liked of the original without the filler. It has more focus on Team RWBY and makes the characters feel more confident in who they are. For example, Ruby is more defined as a character from the start as says why she wants to be a huntress in the first chapter in a cool way. While I didn't like it at first, the manga art style grew on me as something unique and allows for the characters to be more bendable in action, (But because of the black and white nature, it is actually hard some times to tell Wiess apart from Yang). The action is condensed and shorted, but I like that Grimm are not pushovers and Roman is seen as an actual threating villain. The manga references the Tekken animated movie, which is a bigger plus as I died laughing at that panel. Overall, I liked what the manga set out to be, rather than just copy and paste from the series. If it doesn't do V3, that doesn't matter for me. If it does, I have more confidence in liking it than the other version I saw. As well, I hope this gets adapted into an anime outside of RT (Despite how inspection sounding that is. Just call it RWBY: Sisterhood and I will watch it). When it prints, I am buying the paperback of the them.

Another one was about Syrus not being here. Like I said, characters have to get cut, and he is more a side character anyway. He is comparable to Jaune in terms of massive character development, but I would either have to redo that development with his character or have him somewhere in the middle of his path. While I am a big fan of character development, that does not apply to all kinds, and it usual depends on where a character starts and how they grow. For me, it is not fun to redo character arcs with almost the same context, which is what I would have to do with Syrus, and I do not care for him enough to do that. Its why I don't redo cannon GX duels, I will just say they happened in the background with similar result, despite this altered context. I started in the middle of GX so I wouldn't have to have Chazz's arc explained in the background here. I also wanted to clarify a couple cards. Ring of Destruction does its original effect where it was free to destroy anything in a non-targeting way. As well, Ring of Defense plays like in the anime as a combo for Destruction, not as a counter like in the TCG.

Rapid fire ones. If I had to pick an anime deck to make real, I would go with Earthbound Servants. They look amazing and honestly should have been in the Immortal Destinies set instead of what support we did get for Earthbound cards. Regarding that charmer structure deck, I will buy a few copies when that comes out for sure. While all dorms have a cafeteria, Jaden would defiantly sneak in for Endless Pancake Day. DMG will have her magical girl archetype to play with, it seems fitting now. Blair still has Maiden in Love, but I doubt I will use it more than in that flashback. FFVII is great and I am playing it at my own pace. I had one mention if RWBY would be adapted into a card archetype like with Dragon maids, (Speaking of, I do want to put in this series somehow, but am working on it). Honestly, I would be down for it and think I know how they should play. The spells and traps summon different Grimm Tokens to your opponent's side of the field, while the monster are hunters/huntresses who gain effects if they battle or destroyed a Grimm token. For example, if Weiss destroyed a Grimm Token, she allows you to special summon a white Grimm Token onto your side of the field to attack as well. They could also make the weapons union monsters that could special summon themselves to the appropriate character for an attack boost and some protection. I think it could be fun, and I would get a play set of the secret rare Neopolitan. Those are all the questions for now, comment with more, and I will try to answer them in the next sections.
