Kohara: "..."
Looking at the opponent's formation: Nightmare Wheel, Bowganian, Submarineroid. Then looking at the Ojama nuisances stuck on his field.
Suddenly, a deep sense of powerlessness washed over him.
In just one turn, he had lost 1900 Life Points, and his Monster Zone remained blocked, unable to move. He didn't see any chance of a comeback among his remaining hand.
He was powerless to turn the tide.
"Don't give up!"
Ohara suddenly spoke.
Kohara behind him was startled. "Ohara..."
But then he shook his head, gritting his teeth. "What can I do? That's 'that person' from Ra Yellow Dorm, someone we could never hope to beat.
And with this kind of formation, I don't see any hope of breaking through. After all, we haven't even touched his Life Points yet.
In this situation, are you saying we can turn the tables with just one draw?"
Ohara fell silent for a moment.
Then he slowly said, "Kohara. About dueling... I know I'm far inferior to you, and I don't understand much.
But, I only know that no one ever cared about me before. Until I came to the academy and was assigned to the same dorm as you. When you got angry about my troubles as if they were your own, I was really happy.
I'm doing all this, not because I'm genuinely angry at those arrogant elite students. I'm doing this simply because I want to do something for you too."
"Ohara..." Kohara was touched and speechless for a moment.
"So..."
Ohara stepped forward, his aura soaring.
"Every duel has relied on you, on your strategies, to get us this far. But now, it's my turn... to do something for you!"
Yusaku Fujiki: "..."
Wait, are you two perhaps mistaken about something? You two are the villains illegally hunting for Rare Cards, so why are you delivering lines as if I'm the great demon king...?
"My turn, Draw!"
Ohara roared, drawing a card with an arc of his arm through the air.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Allure of Darkness'! I draw two cards from my Deck, then banish one DARK monster from my hand from the game!"
Ohara's morale was high as he drew two more cards.
Seeing the cards he drew, Kohara's expression couldn't help but be stunned.
"That card..." he said blankly, "To think you'd draw that card at this crucial moment. Ohara, you really did it for me..."
He quickly snapped back to reality and cheered up again.
"Summon it, Ohara! This is the proof of our bonds, our one move for a comeback!"
"Okay!"
Ohara first chose a card from his hand.
"First, according to 'Allure of Darkness''s effect, I banish the DARK 'Goblin Attack Force' from my hand from the game."
After banishing one card, he directly played one of the cards he drew.
"I Tribute 'Gilasaurus' to Tribute Summon!
Appear now, break through this desperate blockade, this card that connects the bonds between Kohara and me—
—Level 6, Prime Material Dragon, Summon!!!"
Gilasaurus disappeared into the sacrificial vortex, and a golden Dragon-Type monster with an abstract body appeared from the light!
[Prime Material Dragon, ATK 2400]
"At this final moment, he just happened to draw a Level 6 Tribute Monster, and it's even Prime Material Dragon, a bane to burn effects," Bastion Misawa said.
"Indeed," Alexis Rhodes nodded. "While Prime Material Dragon is on the field, any effect that inflicts Life Point damage will be reversed into Life Point recovery. It's perfectly suited to counter the effect damage power of a stun deck."
"In that case, the bound monster leaves the field, and 'Nightmare Wheel' is destroyed too!" Kohara gave instructions. "Then use an Equip Spell!"
Ohara followed suit and played another card from his hand.
"Equip Spell 'Megamorph'! I equip it to 'Prime Material Dragon'! If my Life Points are lower than my opponent's, the equipped monster's ATK becomes its original ATK doubled!"
[Prime Material Dragon, ATK 2400 → ATK 4800]
"4800 ATK!" Bastion Misawa said. "Indeed, I've always said it. If Kohara can overcome his weak will, he's actually excellent in real combat."
"All three of the opponent's monsters are in Defense Position, so let's start by destroying the most troublesome one." Kohara said.
Ohara nodded, "I attack 'Ojama King' with 'Prime Material Dragon'!"
Prime Material Dragon spewed a light-flame-like冲击. Ojama King was pierced through the chest, vaguely muttered "Ojama Ojama" a couple of times, and then exploded into pieces.
"But of course, I won't take damage from destroying a monster in Defense Position."
Yusaku Fujiki calmly closed his eyes, accepting the transparent shockwave that swept across his field, and said calmly.
"Tch, I know that, of course." Kohara said, "We Set the other card we drew!"
Ohara complied. "I Set one card, and end my turn."
"Then it's my turn, Draw." Yusaku Fujiki said.
"In the Standby Phase, your 'Bowganian' will activate its effect, inflicting 600 damage to me." Ohara said. "But because 'Prime Material Dragon' is on the field, the damage will turn into an equal amount of LP recovery!"
[Ohara, LP 2100 → LP 2700]
"Hoh, I accidentally healed my opponent. This is troublesome, it seems all my burn lock strategies are backfiring." Yusaku Fujiki said.
"That's right," Kohara said, somewhat smugly. "Our bonds have completely turned the situation around in one fell swoop!"
"Impressive, impressive... Then I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed'. I return five monsters from my Graveyard to my Deck and shuffle, then draw two cards."
Five cards popped out of the Graveyard at once.
"I return 'Magical Merchant', three Ojama Yellow, Green, and Black, and 'Ojama King' from my Graveyard to my Deck."
The cards returned to the Deck one by one, and the Deck automatically shuffled.
"...Then I draw two cards."
After drawing his cards, he subtly raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, I think I drew pretty well too."
Both Ohara and Kohara felt a tightening in their hearts.
What would appear this time?
But it doesn't matter.
Kohara suppressed his unease.
Ohara's "Allure of Darkness" had led to two miracle draws last turn; besides drawing a "Prime Material Dragon" for a comeback, the other was also a very powerful Trap Card, "Bottomless Trap Hole".
As long as the opponent summoned a monster with 1500 or more ATK, it would be immediately destroyed and banished.
This way, even if the opponent managed to bring out a powerful monster, it could be immediately removed—
"I Tribute 'Bowganian' to Tribute Summon."
The moment the Monster Card was slammed down, a red glow seemed to flash briefly in Yusaku Fujiki's eyes.
As if the extraordinary power from that card briefly merged into the duelist's body at the moment of the Summon.
"The bane of traps, the Psychic-wielding artificial king—
—Jinzo, Summon!"
Ohara x Kohara: "Nani!?"
