Yu Gi Oh Duel Monster GX by Janime

It's about night time after the duel between Kaiser and Inotsume. At the hospital center, Sho is sitting on a sofa, holding his hands together, and praying for Ryo in the operation room. As Judai is looking at Sho, Teacher Ayukawa is stepping near him. Judai asks Teacher Ayukawa how Kaiser is. Teacher Ayukawa tells Judai not to be worried. Kaiser is now trying his best, so she wants Judai to stay close to Sho.

Judai responds Teacher Ayukawa that he will do so, turning to look at Sho still praying. He just sits behind Sho, looks at him, and doesn't go anywhere. Both of them spend the whole night at the hospital center until the next morning. The light at the operation room then is turned off. Sho smiles before quickly turning to the operation room where Ryo has been.

In the morning, after the operation, Ryo is moved to stay in a patient room. Sho is sitting near his bed and facing down. Ryo asks Sho directly why Sho stopped him in the duel. Sho gives a clear reason that it's because they are brothers. He understands that there is a duel that his dear brother wants to chase after but he doesn't want to see him die. Ryo corrects Sho that he no longer searches for any duel. At that time when he dueled Johan possessed by Yubel, he already got to what he wanted.

In that battle (episode 148), Kaiser already used up everything he had, so he thinks that he can't go beyond that extreme duel. He takes up his deck and explains that he got up that high because of the deck full of thirst of duel. Sho looks surprised after hearing that the deck wants to duel. Ryo says that the deck didn't care about his limit and needed only a duel. Sho eventually stands up and says that this is very stupid. It's just selfish thought made to his dear brother. Sho quickly steals the deck from Ryo's hand. He says that he will release him from his deck before running out.

Kaiser	Why did you stop?
Sho	Isn't it clear? We are brothers, aren't we? Dear brother...although there is a duel that Dear Brother is chasing after, I don't wanna see my Dear Brother die.
Kaiser	No, I no longer search for any duel. At that time, I already got to it.
Sho	Dear Brother~
Kaiser	At the different dimension, in the duel with Johan...no with Yubel, I already used up everything I had. I couldn't go beyond that duel. But, the thing that could pull me up that high is this deck...and this deck still want to duel.
Sho	That is...
Kaiser	It didn't care about my limit, just needed to fight, what I was before...
Sho	It is stupid. That selfish thought made to Dear Brother! So, I will show that I can release Dear Brother from this deck.

Sho is now standing in front of the ocean. Standing by his duel disk with Cyber Dark Dragon deck, he begins the practice. He summons the first monster, Cyber Dark Horn, following by drawing and getting Photon Generator Unit. At this point, Sho has realized that the deck doesn't move as he wants (Perhaps, he can't draw what he wants or what can be used). Suddenly, he receives such a painful impact to his heart, falling onto his knees and holding his breast.

Sho understands that whenever he draws or turns over a card, this impact always runs into his body. He decides to remove the deck from his duel disk. At this point, he has realized that the pain has gone. It's very clear to Sho that the impact to his dear brother's health doesn't come from the electric shock he received in the underground duel as they have concluded (episode 146). The impact actually comes from this deck.

Sho reminds himself of when his dear brother used this deck fight Darkness Fubuki (episode 89) and himself (episode 95). Apparently, abnormally emotional strength is necessary for a person to use this deck no matter what it means to shave one's body. In other words, this deck can't be run by a normal will. After Sho has realized the truth, he gets up again to continue the practice. Once he inserts the deck into the duel disk, shocking impact again runs through his body. Although his hand is shaking, he pushes himself to draw and continue.

At the same time, Inotsume is training his Psycho deck in the forest. Three Android - Psycho Returneres are summoned onto the field while Inotsume is kneeing in front of them. Each time he draws a card, a shadow of an ultimate monster appears behind Android - Psycho Returner. It's the unrevealed ultimate Psycho monster. Inotsume plans to show Sho the terror beyond recognition of his Psycho deck that he hadn't played yet in the duel against Kaiser.

Time has passed. Sho is currently laying on the ground and breathing heavily. It doesn't seem to work for him since he seems unable to use Cyber Dark Dragon deck at all. Then, Judai stops by and carries some food bag. He sits near Sho and sends him a Draw Pan. Judai tells Sho to have a meal and his body shouldn't bear hunger. Sho is afraid that this isn't time to eat. Quickly, his stomach cries loudly, making Sho's face red. He really seems hungry although he tries to refuse to eat.

Judai smiles before tearing Draw Pan's pack and eating it. Sho decides to take a rest and eats it with Judai. Judai asks whether Sho intends to fight with Kaiser's deck. That's what Sho wants but he is afraid that nobody rather than his dear brother can use this deck. Judai convinces him that it's normal because Sho is Sho not Kaiser. Sho understands it well as facing down and looking sad. He doesn't have any better idea what to do.

Sho looks very uncertain and confused. Judai asks whether Sho really thinks that the deck will respond to him if he tries to disguise himself as a Kaiser to use it. Judai explains this deck has fought with Kaiser for long, so it can tell whether the owner is fake or not. Thus, it's no use for Sho to copy Kaiser. Sho asks Judai directly what he should do. Judai tells Sho not to ask him but ask the deck directly. He suggests Sho ask the deck what is its true desire.

Note: Judai wants to say that Sho shouldn't use the whole Kaiser's deck. On the other hand, Sho should look inside the deck and see what the deck's desire is and work with it in his original play. To say, he should create his own deck based on Kaiser's deck so that he can use it effectively in his own way.

Listening to Judai's comments, Sho begins to think again and looks at the deck. He then opens another Draw Pan's pack and gets it, Golden Pan (see the story about Golden Pan in episode 17). At this moment, he has already got an idea, taking the deck out and looking at the cards seriously. Judai smiles as looking at Sho. He realizes that Sho may have already figured out what to do in his own way not Kaiser's way.

Three days have passed and the battle date has come. At the third night, Inotsume is sitting and waiting for Sho at the shore. Sho finally comes and confronts Inotsume bravely. His look appears that he has passed a lot of training. Inotsume greets Sho that, in order to pay brother's debt, Sho seems to work hard in his sight. He hopes that Sho as a little brother of Marufuji Ryo should have some value. Sho responds that besides taking over this battle, he won't forgive himself for any defeat. He challenges bravely Inotsume to come in before taking the deck out from his belt bag and setting it up into his duel disk. When both sides stand by their duel disks, a duel starts.

Note: Inotsume calls Sho "Boku-Chan" because Sho usually calls himself "Boku", which is a polite that kids commonly use to call themselves.

The first turn is with Sho. He draws a card and gets Dimension Fusion. The cards on another hand are Power Wall, Samsara Dogma, Fusion Guard, Cyber Phoenix, and Remove Bomb. He decides to summon [Cyber Phoenix - 4/1200/1600: While this card is in face-up Attack Position on your side of the field, negate the effects of any Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 Machine-Type monster on your side of the field. When this face-up card on the field attacks or is attacked, and it is destroyed as a result of battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can draw 1 card from your Deck] onto the field in attack position. Setting up three face-down cards, he ends his turn.

The turn moves to Inotsume. Drawing a card, he summons [Android - Psycho Returner ~ Jinzou Ningen - Psycho Returner - 3/600/1400: This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Android - Psycho Shocker from your Graveyard] onto the field in attack position.

Inotsume activates the special effect of Android - Psycho Returner to inflict direct damage to Sho. Cyber Energy Shock is then fired by Android - Psycho Returner towards Sho. At this moment, Sho opens his first face-down card [Power Wall - Trap: This can only be activated when you would receive Battle Damage from a Monster. Send any number of cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard. Reduce the amount of Battle Damage you receive by the number of cards sent to the Graveyard x 100 points].

According to its effect, Sho discards 6 top cards (Cyber Dark Keel, Kiteroid, Cyber Dark Edge, Steamroid, Cyber Dark Horn, and Drillroid) on his deck into the cemetery to reduce damage to 0 (600-6*100). Thus, Cyber Energy Shock passes through Sho without any damage.

Inotsume doesn't give up to inflict damage to Sho easily. He next plays [Psychic Wave - Quick Play Spell: You can only activate this card when an Android - Psycho Returner is face-up on the field in attack mode. By sending 1 Android - Psycho Shocker from your deck or hand to the Cemetery, you can inflict 600 points of damage to the opponent], which can be played on when Android - Psycho Returner is on the field. This spell card allows him to send Android - Psycho Shocker from his deck into the cemetery to inflict 600 damage points to Sho again.

Repeatedly, Sho opens another face-down trap card, [Fusion Guard - Counter Trap: At random place 1 Fusion Monster in your Fusion Deck in your Graveyard to negate damage by a card's effect], to counter. According to its effect, he randomly selects one of his fusion monsters (Cyber Twin Dragon, Cyber Dark Dragon, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, Chimeratech Over Dragon, and Cyber End Dragon) from his fusion deck and sends it to the graveyard in order to negate the damage from Psychic Wave's effect. The selected monster is Cyber End Dragon, and Sho is again saved by the second trap card.

Although Inotsume misses again, he hasn't done yet. He plays spell card [DNA-Erasure Sorcery ~ DNA Massatsu Jyujyuttsu - Permanent Spell: When activated, declare a type. If the declared type is sent to the field or your hand to the Cemetery, it is removed from the game]. Inotsume hopes Sho understand its effect very well. Due to its effect, any dragon-type monster can't be sent to the graveyard but removed from play. Setting up a face-down card, Inotsume ends his turn.

Sho understands that the situation now is the same as what his dear brother confronted. Even the face-down card is the same Samsara Dogma. Kaiser just didn't have power left to continue the duel at that time. The turn comes back to Sho. After he draws a card, he believes that his dear brother aimed to use Samsara Dogma as a key card to reverse the game. If dragon-type monsters can't be sent to the cemetery, this problem can be solved by changing all cards in the cemetery to be a dragon type. This is what Samsara Dogma is for.

Sho quickly opens the third trap card [Samsara Dogma ~ Rinnedokudan - Continuous Trap: When this card is activated, declare 1 kind of Type. As long as this card is face-up on the field, all monsters in both player's Graveyard become the Type you declared], declaring to change all cards in both graveyards into a dragon type.

Sho next plays spell card [Cyber Dark Impact - Quick Play Spell: Return 1 Cyber Dark Edge, Cyber Dark Keel, and Cyber Dark Horn from your side of the field, hand, or Graveyard to your Deck. Special Summon 1 Cyber Dark Dragon from your Fusion Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon)] from his hand. This card allows him to return Cyber Dark Horn, Cyber Dark Edge, and Cyber Dark Keel (These 3 monsters were previously sent to the graveyard when Sho played Power Wall to reduce battle damage to 0) from his cemetery onto his deck to special summon [Cyber Dark Dragon - 8/1000/1000: This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned successfully, select 1 Dragon-Type Monster in either player's Graveyard, treat this card as an Equip Card and Equip it. Increase this card's ATK by an amount equal to the Equipped Monster's ATK. Increase this Monster's ATK for each monster card in your Graveyard x100 points. If this card would be destroyed as a result of battle, destroy the Equipped Dragon-Type Monster instead] onto the field in attack position.

Sho declares the special effect of Cyber Dark Dragon, increasing its attack points by the attack points of a dragon-type monster in his graveyard. All cards in Sho's cemetery are now a dragon-type monster due to the effect of Samsara Dogma. Thus, Sho selects Cyber End Dragon, whose original type is machine, from the cemetery and equips it with Cyber Dark Dragon. The attack points Cyber Dark Dragon go up to 5000 (1000+4000).

At this moment, Inotsume sends Android - Psychic Returner into the cemetery to activate his face-down trap card [Deck Destruction Virus ~ Shi No Deck Hakai Virus - Trap: Tribute 1 DARK monster with an ATK of 1000 or less. Check all Monster Cards on your opponent's field, your opponent's hand, and all cards they draw (until the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card's activation), and destroy all monsters with the ATK of 1500 or more].


Cyber Dark Impact Spell Card	Deck Destruction Virus Trap Card

According to its effect, all cards with higher attack points than 1500 on Sho's field must be destroyed. This effect also applies to any card that Sho will draw in the next 3 turns and cards on his hand. Therefore, Cyber Dark Dragon with 5000 attack points are destroyed easily. Inotsume tells Sho to reveal the cards on his hand to check whether there is any card that falls under Deck Destruction Virus' condition. Sho reveals the two cards on his hand, and they are Dimension Fusion and Power Bomb. He claims that there is no monster.

Inotsume chuckles before activating another special effect of Android - Psycho Returner in the cemetery. When this monster is sent to the graveyard, he can special summon [Android - Psycho Shocker ~ Jinzou Ningen - Psycho Shocker - 6/2400/1500: As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all Trap Cards cannot be activated. The effects of all face-up Trap Cards are also negated] from the graveyard onto the field in attack position. Sho has just realized that this is the same play as Inotsume planed when he played against Kaiser. Inotsume had already prepared to summon Android - Psycho Shocker at that time (refer to episode 163).

Inotsume then activates the special effect of Android - Psycho Shocker. In front of this monster, any trap effect on the field is negated. Therefore, Samsara Dogma's effect can no longer be activated, and Sho can't treat any monster in the cemetery as a dragon-type monster. Sho changes Cyber Phoenix into defense position and ends his turn.

Note: At this point when Sho ends his turn, there are 2 end phases left for the effect of Deck Destruction Card to be effective. In addition, the effect of Android - Psycho Shocker doesn't have any impact to Deck Destruction Virus. First, Deck Destruction Virus had been activated before Android - Psycho Shocker was summoned. Second, Deck Destruction Virus is a normal not permanent trap. The card just states that its effect can remain for 3 turns of Sho's end phase, so it is very similar to permanent effect. However, the main point is that when Android - Psycho Shocker was summoned, Deck Destruction Virus as a normal trap has already been sent to the cemetery once after activation. There is no Deck Destruction Virus card to be negated. As a result, the effect of Deck Destruction Virus can be effective regardless of Android - Psycho Shocker's special effect.
