I draw three cards from my deck, then discard two from my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swapping his hand, he immediately pulled out two other cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he slapped one of them directly onto his Duel Disk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I Special Summon this card, Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, ATK 1400]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Player Ryuzaki starts with a Special Summon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commentator Watanabe timely explained it for the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo is a monster card with the ability to be Special Summoned directly from the hand. However, when using this ability to summon, there is a side effect allowing the opponent to Special Summon one monster from their Graveyard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, the decision to activate this effect lies with the opponent. And since this is only the first turn, Player You Xuan has not a single monster in his Graveyard. So naturally, this effect cannot be used,\" Commentator Sasaki added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryuzaki continued revealing his second card: \"Then comes the second one, Special Summon number two of 'Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, ATK 1400]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryuzaki had not been idle during his days out of the public eye. Although he was now called a \"Legendary Duelist,\" it was merely basking in the glory of having faced people like Wang Wuteng and Katsuya Jonouchi back in the day. Especially Jonouchi; back when they met, he had looked down on that ordinary bone, but now times had changed, and he had actually fallen to the point of relying on the resume of \"having been beaten by Jonouchi\" to make a living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To return to his peak, he had specifically improved his tactics, seeking a strategy most suitable for him involving dragons and dinosaurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he settled on a Yazhi -type tactic represented by rapid offense, exemplified by the world's most famous dragon tamer, Seto Kaiba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragons are the strongest creatures; a dragon tamer must exert total suppression with ultimate power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryuzaki shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And swift rapid offense is perfectly suited to the rhythm of dragons. Feel the power of dragons! Battle! First, attack that face-down monster with 'Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo' number one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first dinosaur charged forward. You Xuan's face-down monster in the back row flipped up, revealing a small red Machine-type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Armor Unit Peacekeeper, DEF 400]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Armor Unit, an old archetype born in the DM era, made its debut in the DM spin-off manga \"Yu-Gi-Oh! R.\" However, although it appeared early in this world, it still possessed considerable combat strength in the current meta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Armor Unit, with a mere four hundred defense, was naturally shattered with ease. You Xuan calmly sent it to the Graveyard and said, \"The effect of 'Armor Unit Peacekeeper' activates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can add one Union monster from my deck to my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a card from his deck and showed it to Ryuzaki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I add the Union monster 'Armor Unit - Mechanical Frame' to my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Armor Unit?\" Ryuzaki frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an archetype You Xuan had not used at all in previous matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deliberately holding it back until the finals to use? Does that mean the decks he's used in the tournament so far weren't his main deck? Is he that confident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryuzaki was somewhat surprised. There were duelists who deliberately hid their strength with non-main decks, but it was rare for someone to reach the finals without revealing their true capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a duel is decided in a single match; there is no opportunity to switch decks midway. If someone held back their main deck only to have their substitute deck stolen by the opponent, leading to immediate elimination, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger would turn them into a real pig, truly becoming a laughingstock in the circle for ten thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it doesn't matter; under the absolute power of my dinosaurs, there is no difference,\" Ryuzaki shouted. \"Battle continues! Attack directly with 'Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo' number two!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flip face-down card.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trap card sprang up before You Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trap Card - Magic Cylinder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryuzaki was startled: \"It's actually Magic Cylinder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commentator Sasaki also exclaimed excitedly, \"Oh oh, it really is Magic Cylinder, the signature trap once used in the deck of the former Duel King, Wang Wuteng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can negate the attack of an attacking monster and inflict damage to the opponent equal to that monster's attack points!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current environment of four thousand Life Points, a card as obviously dominant as Magic Cylinder naturally commanded a high market price, but by the GX era, it was no longer rare. Although it didn't have many formal appearances in the anime, it made several cameo appearances; one could see it in Judai's deck when building cards in the dorm, Marufuji Sho had used it against random duelists, and it even appeared in some other random duelists' decks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also one of the few cards You Xuan's predecessor had grinded out that he felt were actually decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryuzaki took the counterattack damage head-on, his body swaying slightly as he clicked his tongue softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ryuzaki, LP 4000 → LP 2600]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first blood of the finals goes to Player Fujiki You Xuan!\" Commentator Watanabe said. \"Who would have thought he'd deal such massive damage to Dinosaur Ryuzaki in the very first turn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking at this, even Ryuzaki must get a bit serious now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryuzaki snorted, not minding it much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of damage was still within expectations. He had long known the opponent was the type who loved various traps; jumping out two low-star dinosaurs to attack immediately was partly intended to step on such traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although traps were annoying, one couldn't avoid stepping on them entirely. After all, if you never step on them, they just stay there; you can't just stare blankly waiting for the wind until the end of time, can you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a mere 1400 low-level monster to trigger a powerful trap like Magic Cylinder was an acceptable result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the Battle Phase ends,\" Ryuzaki continued. \"Next, I tribute my two 'Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo' to perform a Tribute Summon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emerging from the endless darkness, breaking forth from the cocoon, appear here at my summon—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—Level Seven, Tri-Horned Dragon, Summon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo vanished together in a whirlwind of air; golden claws and fangs protruded, and the giant demonic dragon's foot stepped down, making the entire stadium floor seem to tremble under the realistic visual imagery and haptic effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tri-Horned Dragon, ATK 2850]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tri-Horned Dragon!\" Commentator Watanabe said. \"Not only did he launch a fierce double attack in the first turn, but he has now further summoned such a powerful high-level monster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems this is also Ryuzaki's acknowledgment of the challenger's strength, representing his determination to fight with full effort!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the demonic dragon appearing, Ryuzaki stood within the storm of the summon, feeling his momentum surge like a rainbow, even his height seeming to increase by a notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you see it? This is my new dragon, Tri-Horned Dragon! Stronger than my Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Evil Knight Dragon that were taken from me back then; it is precisely the symbol of my rebirth from the ashes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan originally wanted to say that this thing was just a Level Seven ordinary bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, in that era before various Red-Eyes series derivative cards existed, both Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Evil Knight Dragon seemed to require two tributes and were also ordinary bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, he truly couldn't refute that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flip face-down card.
