The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

At this moment, Jonouchi showed an expression of dissatisfaction.

"Just as I thought, Jonouchi-kun, you have a [Magic Arm Shield] in your deck, am I right!?"

Yugi looked at the two face-down cards in Jonouchi and said.

"Tsk!"

Jonouchi clicked his tongue in amazement and glanced at one of his face-down cards.

——【Magic Arm Shield】.

If your opponent controls two or more face-up monsters and you control a monster, you can activate this effect when your opponent declares an attack, targeting one face-up monster on your opponent's field other than the attacking monster. You gain control of that face-up monster until the end of the Battle Phase, and the attack target is transferred to that monster for damage calculation.

Since both [Silent Magician LV4] and [Magic Valkyrie] on the field are in defense position, they cannot be targeted by the opponent's effect under the influence of [Parallel Power], so [Magic Arm Shield] is rendered useless.

"Go, [Swordsman of Destruction], Destruction Sword Flash!"

At this point, the game commands the Destroyer Swordsman to launch an attack, and the Destroyer Swordsman immediately rushes forward and cuts down the Iron Knight.

[Jouchi Katsuya: LP4000→600]

Another objective of the game is not to reduce the city's health to zero right now; he wants to wait for the right opportunity.

"Since my current HP is higher than Jonouchi's, the effect of the equipment magic [Gigantification] is reversed."

[Destruction Swordsman: Attack Power 5200 → 1300]

The game then places the last card in the hand into the duel disk.

"Finally, set one card face down. My turn is over."

The game ended its turn just like that.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 0→1]

Jonouchi immediately activated the card he had drawn.

"Spell Card [Pot of Greed]: Draw two cards from your deck."

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 1→2]

Jonouchi glanced at the cards he had drawn.

"Ah...so red-eyed..."

Looking at the card, Jonouchi was somewhat lost in thought.

"Did Jonouchi-kun draw the Soul Card [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]!?"

The game immediately realized this was a good opportunity.

"Jounouchi-kun, quickly recall the bond between [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and us!"

He immediately shouted to the city's residents.

......

"It's useless, game. Jonouchi can't escape my brainwashing... What!?"

Just as Malik was about to say something, he saw something unexpected.

......

“Ahhhh——!!”

At that moment, Jonouchi covered his head and shouted, as if he were recalling the scene in Duel Kingdom where he fought alongside Yugi and Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

They were already finding it difficult to bring themselves to do it.

Malik can only strengthen control.

"Damn it, I'm activating the spell card [Fireball]!"

The fireball reappeared and shot towards the game.

【Muto Games: LP1500→1000】

"Conditions met!"

Wang Yang exclaimed as he looked at a face-down card in the game, "The key now is to awaken Jonouchi-kun's heart."

At this moment, Jonouchi opened his last card.

"It's not over yet, activate the trap card [Level Transformation Laboratory]!"

Reveal 1 monster card from your hand to your opponent and roll the dice once. If the result is 1, send the chosen monster to the Graveyard. If the result is 2 to 6, the monster's Level becomes the number rolled until the End Phase of this turn.

Then a die rolled and quickly came to a stop.

- 4.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Level 7 → 4

"I summon [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from my hand in attack position."

A jet-black dragon appeared on the field within the city.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Attack Power 2400

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

"Red-Eyes... Black Dragon..."

Looking at that familiar figure, Jōneki was once again lost in thought.

Malik had no choice but to further tighten control.

"Damn it, die! [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] Attack, Black Flame Bullet!"

The black dragon spewed black flames from its mouth and shot them toward the Destroyer Swordsman.

"Oh no, if the monster gets through this time, we'll lose the game..."

"Itsuki said worriedly."

At this moment, the game quickly opened a face-down card.

"Don't even think about it, Jonouchi-kun! I won't die until you wake up! Activate the Trap Card [A Mighty Enemy Blocking the Way]! Select [Silent Magician LV4]. This turn you can only attack this card. Also, because of the presence of [Magic Valkyrie], you cannot attack other Spellcaster monsters. Therefore, your attacks are sealed."

The black flame bullets vanished instantly.

"Please, please wake up! Jonouchi-kun, I believe you can do it!"

The game player shouted with a determined look in his eyes.

"Roar--!!"

As if responding to the game's words, the black dragon roared.

"Game...Red-Eyes...Ughhh!!"

The city was becoming increasingly troubled.

Malik's control over him is weakening.

"Wake up, Jonouchi-kun! Overcome Malik's will, and then we'll duel again in Duel City!"

The game constantly motivates the city.

Despite Malik's continued pressure, Jonouchi eventually regained his senses.

"game!!"

Upon regaining consciousness, Jonouchi immediately looked at the game.

"Yes, leave the rest to me, Jonouchi-kun."

The game player breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he spoke to him.

......

At the same time, an autopilot helicopter suddenly appeared and flew towards Kyoko. The president then pulled out a card and threw it at the extra holding the remote control, knocking the remote control away. Before the extra could react, the president rushed up and knocked him unconscious.

The helicopter then snagged the crane and plunged it into the sea, saving Kyoko.

......

"Now it's our turn to escape safely. I activate the trap card [Destroy Ring]."

Destroy 1 face-up monster on your field; both players take 1000 damage.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

"I will destroy the [Swordsman of Destruction]."

A ring embedded with a bomb was placed on the Destroyer's hand, and then the ring exploded.

【Muto Games: LP1000→0】

[Jouchi Katsuya: LP600→0]

After both players' health points reach zero, the two counting boxes open and reveal their respective keys.

"Now! Jonouchi-kun, the key in the box can unlock our shackles!"

As he spoke, the game quickly took out the key, and Jonouchi followed suit, and soon the two of them were freed from their shackles.

Afterwards, the timer on the bomb reached zero, and the anchor was blown into the seabed.

At this point, everyone was saved.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Location of the Finals

At dusk, on the shore.

"Game...I...I'm so sorry!"

Jonouchi shamelessly apologized.

"Stop talking, Mr. Jonouchi."

The game shook its head.

"But I actually have a thing for games..."

Jōnei clenched his fist.

"We're all safe and sound, that's enough."

The game gently comforted me.

"But......"

It seemed that there was something else he wanted to say.

"Didn't we just agree to duel again in Duel City?! I'm not going to let you get away with this!"

At this point, the game's tone became somewhat forceful.

"Game, you...you're truly unbeatable..."

Seeing the game's serious expression, Jonouchi gave a wry smile.

"Okay, I'll pull myself together, game."

The city staff perked up slightly.

......

"Brother, I'm so glad you're alright."

Shizuka, his younger sister, hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry, Shizuka, I made you worry."

"I'll say this with an apologetic look on my face," Jonouchi said.

"That's right, I've already brought Shizuka here to find you, you can't afford to be sluggish!"

Honda said with a look of disappointment.

"Thank you, Honda."

With the support of friends and family, Jonouchi finally recovered.
