Chapter 953: The Darkness That Comes Again

Fujiki You Xuan learned about the development status of each project while he was away, and soon learned that the "Yugi Yugi Wu Teng Research Project," which he had high hopes for, had made some progress during this time.

As mentioned before, the Yugi Yugi Wu Teng research project is focused on the development of the card series used by Yugi Yugi Wu Teng's surface personality.

As everyone knows, in the DM original work, 99% of the duels of the first generation Duel King were basically fought by Atem, and the situations where Yugi himself took action were not many, so the card series used by Atem naturally had more popularity than those used by Yugi himself, and then Yugi retired soon after he became famous, so the cards used by Atem naturally had higher popularity.

Plus, the card-printing leader Seto Kaiba is Atem's number one fan, and has invested more in the development of the Pharaoh-series decks led by Dark Magician over the years, so compared to that, the development of Yugi's own deck has been relatively niche.

However, Fujiki You Xuan feels that this is a quite good entry point, and has led the joint efforts of Kaiba Corporation and Pegasus's Industrial Illusions to conduct in-depth development of the decks used by Yugi himself.

And the latest achievement obtained this time is the series called "Magician Girl."

This is a new deck that hadn't been born in the DM original work, and was first used by Yugi in the "The Dark Side of Dimensions" theatrical version.

Strictly speaking, the Magician Girl series should be a derivative deck of the Yu-Gi-Oh famous wife "Dark Magician Girl," and is in the same column as Dark Magician Girl. Dark Magician Girl can also be considered the earliest monster in this deck in the true sense.

In the theatrical version of The Dark Side of Dimensions, Yugi summoned "Apple Magician Girl" and "Lemon Magician Girl" in his duel with Kaiba. And after this period of development and improvement, the project team on Fujiki You Xuan's side has now completed the design of five Magician Girls, including Apple and Lemon.

The five cards are Berry Magician Girl, Lemon Magician Girl, Apple Magician Girl, Chocolate Magician Girl, and Kiwi Magician Girl.

The five monsters are from one star to five stars in order, all with a fruit theme. And the first letters of the names of all the monsters are extracted, which are b, l, a, c, k, which is black, symbolizing that the five Magician Girls can just connect to the six-star "Dark Magician Girl."

Of course, you can tell from the names that most of the monsters in this deck are girls with cool and white and big clothes, which is a deck that tough guys should play at first glance.

And as a deck that debuted in Yugi's hands in the movie, this deck also continues Yugi's consistent style. The girls look weak, and their white and slender arms and legs look like they can't even open a bottle cap, but in fact, when they fight, one staff can blow people's skulls off.

They are not good at active attacks, but are defensive trap-type effects. Most of the Magician Girls have the ability to "halve the opponent's monster's ATK when attacked, Special Summon a new Magician Girl, and transfer the attack target of that monster to the new girl."

When the opponent attacks, there will probably be an illusion of being pushed by four taels, and the more they attack, the deeper they fall. In the movie, even Kaiba's powerful "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon" was teased and counter-killed by the Magician Girls, which made the president very angry at the time.

After collecting the deck, Fujiki You Xuan also went to Duel Academy.

At Duel Academy, the research project team left by Fujiki You Xuan himself was not idle during this time, and there were quite a few outputs. Seeing the leader return, the heads of each group also reported the results to him immediately.

Although Fujiki You Xuan traveled through dimensions this time, he didn't tell anyone in the academy, and it only took a month in total.

A month is long, but for Fujiki You Xuan, he often left the academy to handle his own affairs before, and generally, no one would ask. What's more, the academy was on vacation when he left, so no one would find it strange.

Fujiki You Xuan counted the gains of his research department at the academy; there were quite a few outputs, but overall, each department had a few scattered cards, most of which could not bring a decisive improvement to the entire theme deck series. So although they had potential, they could not be put into use immediately.

It is worth mentioning that with the voluntary cooperation of Judai and his Neo-Spacian partners, the "Neo-Spacian" deck was successfully replicated from the only one in the world that Judai had.

This is an important progress not only for Fujiki You Xuan but also for Judai himself. After all, anyone who plays cards knows that there is a difference between a powerful card being limited to one in the Forbidden and Limited list and being able to be invested in three without limit.

All the cards in Judai's Neo-Spacian deck are physically limited to one—because there is only one in the world, so even if he wants to invest more, he can't.

But just imagine if more copies of the Neo-Spacians could be replicated; being able to include multiple copies of powerful Neo-Spacians like the invincible Grand Mole or the Dolphin that can discard cards from the hand during the first turn would be a nice boost for Judai as well.

If you look at the Neo-Spacian deck from the perspective of physical card construction, it is naturally relatively salty, but it doesn't mean it has no merit. If nothing else, the invincible Grand Mole is an all-purpose hitter in the early slow environment, and has a place in any deck. Otherwise, Mole Brother wouldn't have been limited for a while.

Fujiki You Xuan doesn't have the idea of getting a whole set of Neo-Spacians or Hero decks to play for the time being; that is Judai's personal characteristic. However, it is possible to get one or two powerful accessories to play interesting combinations in specific decks.

Of course, the re-printed Neo-Spacians are just ordinary cards, unlike Judai's, which are all the spirits themselves, are genuine aliens, and don't have such strong destiny power amplification.

But it doesn't matter, Fujiki You Xuan didn't want these anyway. As long as they can be used for playing cards.

Just right, not long after arriving at Duel Academy, Fujiki You Xuan smelled a dark aura.

He followed the aura all the way to the volcano deep in the academy island, and then found Judai Yuki, and Mr. T who was confronting Judai.

"It's you again." Judai said, "You guys are really endless."

Mr. T snorted: "This time it won't be like before, Judai Yuki."

He said, a dark aura condensed on his hand, turning into a pitch-black Duel Disk. More dark mist condensed into countless flying cards in mid-air, flying into the card slot of his Duel Disk in order, turning into a deck surging with demonic energy.

"This time," Mr. T said in a deep voice, "I will ensure you can't get up again!"
