Who Let Him Play Yugioh? (Re-Upload)

”Shining New Star!”

With Kaiba’s shout, the Dragon of Light blazed like the sun, its radiance sweeping across Kira’s field, wiping it clean.

Even the invincible Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman was powerless—he was unbeatable against Dragons, but only Dragons.

But the opponent’s Dragon had donned a Divine-Beast’s skin. With that, he was rendered powerless, vanishing in the white light.

Watching the mighty swordsman leave the field, Jaden murmured, ”Even such a powerful Swordmaster is...”

”Of course,” Mokuba said, rubbing his nose with pride. ”Because that’s my brother... the legendary Seto Kaiba.”

Yeah, there’s nothing to worry about.

His brother’s dueling... is the strongest.

”Even Dragon Destroyer Swordsman can’t do it... Kaiba really is incredible,” Kira admitted.

”In just half a year, you’ve grown this much,” Kaiba said calmly. ”Fujiki Kira, even I have to admit, you’ve exceeded my expectations.”

He paused, then smiled slightly.

”Maybe you’re the duelist I’ve been waiting for... Hmph, but not today. Not just yet.”

Yes, he’d waited long enough.

This time, as he returned to the top, the Duel King’s throne would be his, no matter who stood in his way.

”Although all my cards were destroyed by Shining Dragon, my Battle Phase isn’t over yet,” Kira said calmly.

Kaiba frowned.

”Oh? But you don’t have a single card left on the field,” he said. ”No monsters to attack with. In this situation, you’re saying your attack isn’t over?”

”That’s right.”

”Heh, interesting.” Kaiba chuckled. ”Let’s see it then. In this situation, how do you plan to counterattack?”

”As you wish.”

A transparent apparition appeared behind Kira.

Makyura the Destructor!

”That guy...” Kaiba instantly realized.

”That’s right. When I Fusion Summoned earlier, I sent not just two Fusion materials, but three more cards to the graveyard. One of them was ’Makyura the Destructor’,” Kira explained.

”When Makyura the Destructor is sent to the graveyard this turn, I can activate Trap Cards from my hand this turn. First up...”

Kira waved his hand, and a Trap Card materialized in front of him.

”Trap Card—’High Speed Aria’! Discard a Spell from my hand, and this Trap can activate as that Spell’s effect! As a cost, I can’t activate any Spell Cards next turn!” (Anime card)

Kira sent a card from hand to the graveyard.

”I discard the Spell Card ’Super Soldier Synthesis’ from my hand and gain its effect!” Kira declared. ”I tribute the Level 4 LIGHT ’Beginning Knight’ from my hand and the Level 4 DARK ’Evening Twilight Knight’ from my deck as Ritual materials!

I Ritual Summon ’Black Luster Soldier’ from my graveyard!”

”Here he comes—the strongest form of Black Luster Soldier,” Kaiba remarked.

Super Soldier Synthesis lets you Ritual Summon Black Luster Soldier from hand or grave, using a LIGHT and DARK Level 4 from hand/deck if the total is 8.

”One soul guides the light, one soul guides the darkness. The gate of chaos opens—”

The two knights became beams of light and darkness, spiraling to the ground. The vortex of chaos soared, then was cleaved open by blades of light and dark.

Black Luster Soldier descends!

[Black Luster Soldier, ATK 3000]

Zane: ”To summon a legendary warrior at such a moment...”

”So strong, so strong, Kira!” Jaden exclaimed.

Although still in the Battle Phase and Black Luster Soldier can’t use its banishing effect, it still has its double-attack effect.

Kaiba has only Dragon Spirit of White left, now in Defense due to Buster Blader’s effect. Black Luster Soldier’s first attack will destroy it, triggering its second attack for a direct shot—ending the duel.

”No way...”

Zane muttered, unconsciously glancing at Kira.

Could this guy actually defeat the legendary Seto Kaiba...?

”Black Luster Soldier’s first attack—on ’Dragon Spirit of White’!” Kira declared.

Black Luster Soldier soared, spinning through the air, unleashing a storm of sword strikes!

Kaiba gazed up at the endless blades, momentarily lost in thought.

Black Luster Soldier.

What a nostalgic monster.

In fact, this duel had been full of such moments. The Buster Blader just now, the Electromagnetic Turtle, and of course his lifelong nemesis, Kuriboh, and so on...

Now, under Black Luster Soldier’s sword, he seemed to see a faint glow from the pendant on Kira’s chest.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell if he was facing Kira or his old rival.

Despite all his progress, his upgraded Blue-Eyes—even the mighty Shining Dragon—could he still not win against that guy...?

”Brother!” Mokuba called out worriedly.

Kaiba: ”...”

No.

Even if that guy stood before him, he’d never lose again.

He’d already resolved that long ago.

Next time, they’d meet as Duel King...

”I activate the Quick-Play Spell ’Dark Spell Regeneration!’” Kaiba shouted.

(Anime-only card, later made into a Trap and limited to use with the Winged Dragon of Ra, but in the anime, it’s generic.)

”Dark Spell Regeneration can only be activated when your opponent declares an attack,” Kaiba stated. ”It lets you gain the effect of a Spell Card in your opponent’s graveyard!” (Anime effect)

Kira frowned. ”A Spell Card in my graveyard...”

Instantly, all the Spells in Kira’s graveyard appeared as projections, floating in the air.

”Looks like your ’Fusion Birth’ sent some good stuff to the graveyard. Let me borrow one.

I’ll use this card from your graveyard—

—Spell Card ’Monster Reborn’! I revive any monster in either graveyard to my field!”

Kira frowned.

As expected of Kaiba—even at the very end he could pull out a trick like this.

And if it’s Kaiba, the monster he’s determined to revive is obviously...

”Return once more—Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!!!”
