Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1425 VS Fica
A small hillside.

A crimson crack, like a wound torn open by invisible claws, suddenly appeared on the grass of the hillside. Lava-like red light dripped from the edge of the crack, scorching the surrounding dandelions to ashes. Then, the blond man suddenly emerged from the crack, his granite-like pectoral muscles still covered with otherworldly dust, and the bulging veins on his neck resembling tangled cables.

This is Dr. Fika, from another dimension.

However, when he peeked out from the opposite dimension, his movements froze somewhat stiffly.

Because the scene that descended was different from what he had imagined. There seemed to be quite a few people on the other side of the vortex, a large group of operatives in uniforms with the word "Seahorse" printed on their bodies surrounding the portal from which he had emerged. The one who appeared to be leading the group was a boy with a sunny smile, arms crossed and wearing a Duel Disk, looking like he had been "waiting for a long time."

Fikaka hesitated for a moment in the middle of the portal.

This wasn't his original plan. He intended to hide after teleporting to this dimension, observe the situation, and try to find his companions who had come here before if the opportunity arose.
But the scene before him was completely unexpected; he had barely squeezed half his body in when a group of people surrounded him like they were watching a monkey show.

It's like a seasoned john who, after placing his order, excitedly goes to a hotel room, only to find a team of fully armed police officers inside, scaring his penis into a complete loss of energy.
Looking at Fika, who was half-stuck inside, You Xuan laughed and said, "Dr. Fika, it's finally time to meet. Since you're here, why don't you come and have a chat?"

Fika hesitated for a few seconds, but finally squeezed out of the portal and came to stand in front of You Xuan.

“This is truly unexpected,” Fica said. “You knew I would come? And you even knew my exact location?”

As he spoke, he narrowed his distinctive large eyes and said, "So, you've cracked the 'pathway'."

"Yes, thanks to the help of your old friend, Jade Throne," You Xuan said with a smile.

Fica's eyes flickered: "Byron. I see, so he discovered the existence of the passage."

Byron was the name the throne originally had before it shrank, and it was also the name Fika was more familiar with.

"That's why you were able to detect my arrival in advance and lie in ambush here."

Fica shook his head and said.

"It's different from what was planned, but that doesn't matter."

"Cards? Come on?"

You Xuan gestured to the duel board.

"A duel, huh? That's exactly what I'm looking for," Fica sneered. "But let me make this clear: I'm quite strong."

But for some reason, Fica felt that as soon as he said that, the onlookers around him seemed to burst into laughter.

"Really? Then I'll have to be very careful."

You Xuan smiled and also unfolded his duel disk.

"Duel!" x2
[Yu Xuan, LP4000]

[Fica, LP4000]

“Since you’re so strong, I won’t hold back and will go first,” You Xuan said. “My turn, draw a card.”

I usually summon 'Apple Magic Girl'!

Summoning circles with magical runes spun and bloomed on the battlefield, pink light particles swirling like cherry blossom rain. With a crisp snap of her fingers, the Apple Magic Girl leaped gracefully from the light. Her bright red skirt fluttered like apple petals in the wind, and her thigh-high boots sparkled with candy-colored flecks as they touched the ground. Her long, snow-white legs shone brightly against the red backdrop, and her pure white wings scattered gold dust with each flap. She twirled her staff, inlaid with heart-shaped gems, blinked her sequined eyes, and radiated youthful energy.

This is another deck that only a tough guy should play.

[Apple Magic Girl, Attack Power 1200]

"Then set a card face down, and the turn ends."

You Xuan knew that Fika's boasting about his superior strength was not just empty talk; he probably truly had full confidence in his own abilities.

It seems that almost every generation of Yu-Gi-Oh! features a classic battle of three heroes fighting Lu Bu, and the "Lu Bu" who can be ganged up on by the main characters is often a great figure who is worthy of being remembered in history.

Dr. Fika plays this role in ZEXAL.

At the same time, Fica was ganged up on by a super team including Yuma Tsukumo, the first person in Yu-Gi-Oh! history to print and modify cards, and Astral, along with Ryoga Kamishiro, the future leader of the Varia Seven Emperors, and Kaito, the legendary second male lead who has never been defeated by the protagonist in the entire series. Under such a super team, Fica even suppressed the three opponents for a time.

If it weren't for the fact that one of the opponents suddenly transformed into a Super Saiyan and the other fused into a Saint Seiya halfway through the game, shouting about friendship and bonds while flashing cards, Fica might actually have been able to defeat all three of them. The value of his cards goes without saying. So his confidence wasn't unfounded.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Fica immediately put a card from his hand into the graveyard, followed by a monster card popping out of his deck.

“The effect of ‘Trash Ogre’ in your hand,” Fica said. “During the Main Phase, ‘Trash Ogre’ can be discarded from your hand and once per turn, you can add one ‘Trash King’ from your deck to your hand.”

He drew the monster card that popped out of his deck.

"Add 'Trash King' to your hand from your deck."

"Then, although 'Garbage King' is a Level 5 monster, it can be Special Summoned directly from your hand by paying 1000 Life Points!" (Animation effect)

The two cards used in the Fica animation, Trash Ogre and Trash King, have also been made into real cards. However, the real card of Trash King has been changed to require paying 2000 life points.

That's reasonable. In the anime, a card with 4000 health points in the meta would have 1000 health points paid out, so in the physical card meta, a card with 8000 health points should have 2000 health points paid out. In fact, many anime cards have followed this principle in their physical card releases over the years.

"Therefore, I pay 1000 HP to Special Summon 'Trash King'!"

[Fica, LP4000 → LP3000]

Despite being called the "King of Trash," the monster did indeed possess a regal air. It wore a golden crown, held a scepter that symbolized royalty, and its eyes flashed with red light.

[Trash King, Attack Power 0]

"Then, since the Garbage King's attack power is 0, you can activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Hellish Rampage Summon' from your hand!" Fica shouted. "This card can be activated when a monster with 1500 or less attack power is successfully Special Summoned from your field."

Special Summon as many cards of the same name as possible from your hand, deck, and graveyard.

Therefore, I Special Summon two more 'Trash King' cards from my deck!

The Trash King on the field was enveloped in golden light, as if it had split into two more clones. At the same time, two cards automatically popped out of Fica's deck and were placed on the Duel Disk, and two golden lights stood on the field, transforming into two more Trash Kings.
