Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

The roar of the engine echoed along the deep tunnel.

What lay before them was no longer darkness, but a dim, yellowish light.

"It's just ahead!"

Larry's excited voice lingered in my ears.

Kanpaku had already spotted the abandoned platform with its lights on.

It looks like the light was reserved specifically for Larry.

"Then I'll leave you here."

Slow down, brake.

"Thanks!"

Larry jumped out of the car and ran towards the base.

Originally, Guan Bai planned to drop off the person and leave.

But Guan Bai saw that there was no one else there and felt that it was wrong to leave a child alone there.

So he decided to stay at the outpost with Larry until his companions returned.

Let's just call him Crab Squat Bro.

"Oh, you've come to visit this place?"

Larry excitedly turned to look at Guan Bai.

"Um."

I can't exactly say I'm waiting for your parents, can I? That would be such a disappointment.

Then again, this is Yusei's base from the first episode...

Watching it a thousand times in an animation is not as dreamlike as actually stepping onto this place.

"Duel Killer, let me tell you, I have a really powerful friend!"

"His dueling skills are top-notch, and he can do all sorts of mechanical tasks!"

"This place is his stronghold!"

Larry started his teenage chatter.

When talking about "that friend," his face lit up and his chest stood straight.

Although he was trying to keep it a secret, who else could "that friend" be?

Of course it's Crab Bro.

Guan Bai listened very attentively.

He was piecing together a true profile of Yusei in his mind based on what he heard from Larry.

Time passed...

Until the sound of another engine rang out.

The red D-wheel, like a shooting star in the night, came to a stop in front of the abandoned platform, leaving a trail behind it.

"Ah, Yusei's back!"

Guan Bai also saw the man's return.

It's Crab Bro!

Guan Bai felt his breathing become rapid.

Although I've met Crow before, I should be used to seeing the main characters from the anime.

However, whenever Kanpaku sees the characters from the anime in person, he gets a strange feeling that reality and fantasy are intertwined.

The fantasy world that I've had for so many years has finally become reality.

No, it's not a fantasy turning into reality.

It should be that I've stepped into a world of fantasy!

Yusei Fudo takes off his helmet, revealing his signature crab head.

He saw Larry, who had already returned to the base.

"Yusei!!"

Larry called out Yusei's name.

He jogged over to Yusei in just a few steps.

Seeing that Larry was alright, Yusei seemed relieved, letting out a faint smile.

"It's good that you're back."

Although the voice is overly rational, it contains a wealth of emotions—this is Guan Bai's reading comprehension.

After all, Crab Brother's personality was too aloof in the early stages.

He truly deserves to be the second most aloof protagonist in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! series.

Unlike the elegant and easygoing King, Jaden is lively and passionate.

Crab Bro is a rational and calm tech geek.

As Kanpaku was reminiscing, Larry had already brought Yusei to him.

"Yusei, this guy is the Duel Killer, he's the one who saved me!"

"Uncle, this is the friend I was talking about, my number one idol, Yusei Fudo!"

middle-aged man?

Kanpaku has been working for several years, but he feels he is far from being old enough to be called an "uncle".

He knew, of course, that this was the impression the duelist assassin gave off.

But being called "uncle" by a child still makes me feel uncomfortable.

While inwardly complaining, Kanpaku had already extended his hand to Yusei.

"Hello, I am Duel Killer."

When faced with Kanpaku's offer of help, Fudo Yusei paused for a moment, but quickly responded with goodwill.

"Yusei Fudo. Thank you for saving Larry."

He didn't shake hands with much force, but you could feel a very firm strength in his grip.

Yusei Fudo is genuinely grateful to the Reincarnation.

If Kanpaku hadn't rescued Larry in time tonight, who knows where we would have found him.

Given the chaos in the satellite region, I really can't imagine what it would be like for Fudo Yusei!

"No need to thank me. Since this matter is within my capabilities, there's no reason for me to ignore it."

This is the true thought of the regent.

He couldn't possibly just stand by and watch a child be killed in front of him, could he?

Guan Bai was about to subtly inquire about the current situation of Yuxing.

He wanted to know how much time was left before the story began.

Just then, Larry approached Yusei as if presenting a treasure.

"By the way, Yusei, look!"

He took a chip out of his pocket and handed it to Youxing with both hands.

"Yusei, this is a chip I found. Use it on your D-Wheel, and it'll definitely make it run incredibly fast!!"

"Then you can go to town and settle things with Jack!"

Larry's eyes sparkled as he looked at Yusei's D-Wheel, unable to contain his excitement.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Yusei looked at the chip in Larry's hand.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the boy's help.

As Yusei turned to the D-Wheel to begin modifications, Kanpaku watched from the side, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

Larry delivers a chip to Yusei; isn't that the plot of the first episode of the 5DS?

Did I just happen to be there when I rescued Larry today?

Now there are subtle differences from the original plot!

In the original story, Larry wasn't kidnapped at this point!

Could it be the butterfly effect of my own time travel?

Does this mean I've turned the gears of fate around?

No, that's not all!

There is no Gear Gang or Omega Sun in the original work!

How many hidden differences are there in this 5ds timeline, and where will it ultimately lead?

While Kanpaku's thoughts were racing, Yusei had already completed the improvements to the D-Wheel.

He truly deserves to be called the all-around king of all duel champions.

He can save the world and modify perpetual motion machines, and he can also be a hacker, a fighter, and a home appliance repairman.

The red D-wheel emitted a roar as if reborn, and the engine sound, like that of a cheetah, echoed and reverberated in the empty tunnel.

"alright."

Even someone as composed as Yusei had a noticeable smile on his face at this moment.

"Great! Now Yusei, you can go find Jack and get your ace back!"

"Um!"

His voice rarely carried such excitement.

Yusei has been chasing after Jack's footsteps, and today he finally sees a glimmer of hope!

Larry was celebrating loudly when suddenly a bright spotlight pierced down from the crack above.

A stern announcement rang out.

"Identification number AWX86007, Larry Dawson!"

"You are suspected of theft. Surrender immediately!"

The blaring lights were like a tsunami, instantly extinguishing all of Larry's courage.

"I'm sorry, Yusei. I stole this chip from the factory, but I just wanted to help you. I'm sorry..."

Larry's eyes welled up with tears, filled with frustration.

Yusei didn't blame him, but instead pressed the button on the D-Wheel.

A strong signal wave spread out, creating powerful white noise in the police system!

"What's going on?!"

"I have already jammed the signal."

Yusei got into the D-Wheel and pointed to the other end of the tunnel.

"I'll distract the guards. Larry, Duel Killer, you two split up and retreat."

Larry looked at Yusei with concern, but made a decision in an instant.

He can't continue to be a burden to Yusei!

Turning around, the boy disappeared into the dark tunnel.

The boy left, and Kanpaku got into the D-Wheel and addressed Yusei in a serious tone.

"I'll help you lure the police away!"

"!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Yusei's eyes, but he immediately nodded firmly.

The two D-wheeled vehicles emitted a sound like the roar of dragons.

Instant acceleration!
