Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1475 You're not going to summon Hope?

"You Xuan!" You Ma was a little worried when he saw You Xuan taking damage.

But You Xuan casually brushed the dust off his clothes: "It's nothing."

It was only 100 points of damage, so he really barely felt anything.

The black mist opposite him frowned slightly. Although 100 points of damage was insignificant, with the power of his black mist, any opponent tainted and oppressed by this power should feel suffocated, or at least tense and uneasy.

Don't underestimate such emotions. In a battle between masters, every move can be fatal, and each card draw can potentially rewrite the course of the game. In a standoff between experts, even the slightest wavering of mentality or influence on momentum can disrupt performance. Even the impact of a single card draw can determine defeat.

But the person in front of him gave off a very relaxing feeling to the black mist.

There was no sense of tension, nor did he deliberately exude any aura of strength. Yet, the more he acted this way, the more he made people feel that they could not afford to be careless.

but
Black Mist glanced at his hand, snorted, and then face down two more cards: "Face down two cards, turn over."

There's nothing to panic about. Having summoned the black mist first, he already has the advantage. Even if he can't force Yuma to surrender with an outside move, he'll still have a significant advantage if the fight continues.

Anyway, the opponent was using the same Yuma deck, and Kurogiri believed she had a pretty good understanding of Yuma Tsukumo's tactics. There was nothing to be afraid of.

You Xuan: "My turn, draw a card."

You Xuan drew a card, then held several cards in his hand, comparing them one by one, while muttering to himself, "Let me see, 'Angry, angry, angry, rumble, rumble.' Such abstract names. Is this the legendary 'onomatopoeia' deck?"

Onomatopoeia, as the name suggests, is a deck whose name uses onomatopoeic words. Generally, these onomatopoeic names also match the image of the corresponding monster series. For example, most of the monsters with the name "Rumble" are Rock-type, which imitates the rumbling sound of rocks rolling down.

However, Yu Xuan's words left both the opposing team and Yu Ma somewhat dumbfounded.

Black Mist narrowed his eyes: "Hey, you...you don't actually know anything about this deck, do you?"

“Yeah, we don’t have this kind of deck in our world, how would I know?” Youxuan made a stop gesture. “Sorry, let me take a look at the effects of these cards first.”

Okay, like this. And then like this.

Yuma was also stunned.

He was unaware of the specific differences between the decks in the two worlds; in his world, mimicry wasn't a particularly rare card. So even though Yu Xuan said he would replace him, he genuinely hadn't expected that he hadn't even seen this particular deck before.

This is the end of the world!

The horse was startled.

Who would gamble on a horoscope and then need to read the results?

Even if this person is said to be the world's dueling king, even if others say that his dueling ability is godlike, he is still, after all, still a god.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I roughly understand the situation," You Xuan said. "Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

First up is the 'Rage Rage Rage Destroyer' in my hand!

You Xuan immediately revealed a monster card in his hand.

"If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Come forth, Rage Rage Rage Destroyer!"

The first to appear was a heavily armored warrior, wielding a spiked ball-shaped iron hammer that dragged across the ground, leaving trails of fire in its wake. His heavy footsteps pounded deep into the earth, his boots crunching through the rocks with a crisp click, and his armor clattered and sparked as he landed.

[Rage Rage Rage Destroyer, Attack Power 1900]

"Although Rage Rage Destroyer is a Level 6 monster, when it is Special Summoned by its own effect, its Level must be reduced by two stars to Level 4."

[Rage Rage Rage Destroyer, LV6→ LV4] Black Mist: "We already have a four-star monster, and we haven't even had a Normal Summon yet."

Yu Xuan revealed another card: "Next, I will Normal Summon 'Rumble Giant'!"

With a rumbling sound, a gigantic hand emerged from the cracked ground, its five fingers digging deep into the rock, churning up debris and mud between them. The thick arm supported a massive body rising from the earth, the heavy rock sculpted into a muscular, rocky armor.

[Rumbling Giant, Attack Power 2000]

Black Mist: "Two now, are they coming?"

The off-site guest, Vector, shared this sentiment, noting that this was the rhythm of Yuma's deck that they were most familiar with. Even Yuma, the deck's creator, was thinking the same thing.

"Alright, we've got two four-star characters!" Yuma said. "Now we can look forward to summoning Hope."

But Yu Xuan continued, "The effect of Rumble Giant is that when this card is successfully summoned, you can Special Summon monsters whose names contain 'Rumble' from your Graveyard."

You Xuan revealed the rumbling sound in the graveyard that had been knocked down by the black mist in the previous round.

Special Summon 'Rumble Ghost' from the face-up Defense Position of the Graveyard.

The giant's right hand shot out with a thunderous roar, the ground beside him seemingly cleaved open by an invisible giant axe. Fragments of armor spewed out from the cracks in the graveyard, piecing themselves back together to form a humanoid shape. The translucent ghost, like a flowing shadow, swayed and flickered within the armor, landing and assuming a defensive stance to block the field.

[The Rumbling Ghost, Defense 0]

Yu Xuan: "Of course, the Rumble Giant, whose effect has been activated, also changes from attack mode to defense mode."

The rumbling giant also crouched down, crossing his arms.

[Rumble Giant, Attack 2000 → Defense 0]

"Then, I'll stack the Level 4 monsters on the field: 'Giant Rumble,' 'Ghost Rumble,' and 'Rage Rage Destroyer'!" Yu Xuan shouted. "These three monsters will form a Light Network!"

Yuma: "Okay! Please, Hope?"

Yuma only realized something was wrong after he had already shouted it out.

Wait, three?
Vector and the black mist also had their pupils contract at that moment.

Three four-star monsters stacked together? Why not release Hope?

Everyone knows that Yuma Tsukumo's signature ace is "No. 39 Hope the Emperor," which is always present in any high-stakes game. Especially in the ZEXAL dimension, where ace attacks are crucial, almost everyone automatically associates Yuma and Astral with Hope whenever they see them.

That's why there's something most people have forgotten (maybe even the screenwriters have forgotten).

Yuma Tsukumo and Astral have fought their way through countless battles, facing numerous No. holders. And after each victory, they reclaimed the No. holder's title.

If we calculate based on the anime, Yuma and the Astral faction should have the most NO.s among all factions, but they are always fixated on Hope.

Show yourself! Number 16!

You Xuan raised his hand.

"The NO.! Ruler of Color in the Absolute Imprisonment Domain!!!"
