Chapter 191: Hope VS Dragunity
"Next, when 'Dragon Ravine', a Field Spell, is present on the Field, 'Dragunity Commander' in my Hand can be Special Summoned!"
"I tune the Level 3 'Dragunity - Hookblade Dragon' with the Level 4 'Dragunity Commander'!"
[3+4=7]
"With a swift wind as your spear, pierce the heavens! Synchro Summon! Level 7! 'Dragunity Knight - Jade Lance'!"
'Dragunity Knight - Jade Lance' ATK: 2600
"The effect of 'Dragunity Knight - Jade Lance' activates! When this card is Synchro Summoned, I can target one 'Dragunity' Tuner monster in my Graveyard and equip it to this card."
"I will equip 'Dragunity - Greatsword Dragon' from my Graveyard to this card!"
"I set one card and end my turn."
"My turn! Draw!" Yūga Hōzumi sighed, looking at the Revolutionary Army warriors around him who were gradually being pushed back. "It seems I'll have to end this quickly."
"I summon, in Attack Position, 'Onomatopia Hope-Emperor'!"
"The effect of 'Zubababa Banchou - Gagaga Coat' in my hand activates! If there is another 'Gagaga' monster on the field, this card can be Special Summoned!"
"The effect of 'Onomatopia Hope-Emperor' activates! Once per turn, I can Special Summon up to one 'Gagaga,' 'Zubababa,' 'Gogogo,' and 'Dododo' monster from my hand!"
"I Special Summon 'Dododo Dwarf - Gogogo Glove' and 'Gagaga Magician' from my hand!"
"Next, 'Gogogo Golem - Golden Form' from my hand can be Special Summoned by Tributing one monster on the field whose name contains 'Gogogo'!"
"I Tribute 'Onomatopia Hope-Emperor' on the field, which is also treated as a 'Gogogo' monster, to Special Summon this card! The ATK of a 'Gogogo Golem - Golden Form' Special Summoned by this effect becomes double the ATK of the Tributed monster!"
'Gogogo Golem - Golden Form' ATK: ? → 3000
"The effect of 'Zubababa Banchou - Gagaga Coat' activates!"
"I target one 'Gogogo' monster or 'Dododo' monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it."
"Revive! 'Onomatopia Hope-Emperor'!"
Just then, Noah, who had been indifferent all along, raised his hand. "At this moment, the effect of 'Dragunity Knight - Jade Lance' activates!"
"By sending one Equip Card equipped to this card to the Graveyard, I can target up to two cards in my opponent's Graveyard and banish them."
Beside Noah, the knight atop the jade-green dragon raised the lance in its hand and shot a dimensional wave toward Yūga Hōzumi.
In the blink of an eye, 'Onomatopia Hope-Emperor' in the Graveyard was sent to a different dimension. Simultaneously, because it lost its target, 'Zubababa Banchou's' effect was also negated.
"That's not enough to stop me," Yūga Hōzumi said with a cold laugh.
"I overlay the on-field 'Dododo Dwarf - Gogogo Glove' and 'Zubababa Banchou - Gagaga Coat'!"
"Great sage, draped in light, descend now and open the path for the light of hope! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! 'ZS - Utopic Sage'!"
A radiant, shimmering vortex of starlight lit up above Yūga Hōzumi's head. After the two monsters leaped into it, a dazzling golden light erupted!
A magician holding a golden staff, bathed in this light, slowly descended in front of Yūga Hōzumi.
'ZS - Utopic Sage' DEF: 2500
"Xyz Summon?" Noah frowned, angrily reprimanding, "Are you one of those people who recently came to Neo Domino City? Why are you getting involved? These rebellious elements should have nothing to do with you!"
"From a dimensional standpoint, you're correct," Yūga Hōzumi said unhurriedly, facing Noah's reprimand. "However, personally, it is my responsibility as a successor to overthrow reactionaries like you who oppress and lord over the working people."
At that moment, Kiryu's speech on the large screen not far away reached its climax.
"I have a dream, that one day..."
"The effect of 'ZS - Utopic Sage' activates!"
"By detaching two materials from this card, I can Special Summon one 'ZW -' monster or 'ZS -' monster from my Deck."
"What a joke! That's just a slogan for you rebels! The effect of 'Dragunity Knight - Venom Lance' activates!"
"When my opponent activates a monster's effect, I can banish one 'Dragunity' monster from my Graveyard to negate that activation and banish the monster."
"How could someone like you, who willingly acts as an oppressor's thug, possibly understand what we're thinking! The effect of 'Gogogo Golem - Golden Form' activates!"
"Once per turn, when an opponent's monster effect is activated, this card's ATK decreases by 1500, and that effect is negated."
'Gogogo Golem - Golden Form' ATK: 3000 → 1500
The clash of monsters ultimately ended with the light blooming from the radiant golden golem extinguishing the ray shot by 'Dragunity Knight - Venom Lance', and the effect of 'ZS - Utopic Sage' resolved normally.
"Appear! 'ZS - Ascended Sage'!"
"The effect of 'Dododo Dwarf - Gogogo Glove' in the Graveyard activates!"
"If there is another 'Dododo' or 'Gogogo' monster on the field, this card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard!"
"I overlay the Level 4 'ZS - Utopic Sage' and the Level 4 'Dododo Dwarf - Gogogo Glove'!"
"Descend, Warrior of Hope! Xyz Summon! 'Number 39: Hope Emperor Hope Double'!"
'Number 39: Hope Emperor Hope Double' DEF: 2500
"The effect of a 'Hope' monster Xyz Summoned using 'ZS - Ascended Sage' as material activates!"
"When this Xyz Summon is successful, I can add one 'Rank-Up-Magic' Spell Card from my Deck to my hand!"
"I add 'Rank-Up-Magic Zexal Force' to my hand!"
"I activate 'Rank-Up-Magic Zexal Force'!"
"I target one Xyz Monster on my field! I Special Summon from my Extra Deck, by using that monster as material, one 'Hope Emperor Hope' monster or 'ZW -' monster that is one Rank higher! Then, I can choose one 'ZW -' monster or 'ZS -' monster from my Deck and place it on top of my Deck."
"At this moment, the Counter Trap 'Dragunity's Illusory Prison' activates!"
"If I control a 'Dragunity' Synchro Monster when my opponent activates a Spell or Trap Card, I can negate the activation and banish it. Also, if I control a Level 10 'Dragunity' monster, I can then target one 'Dragunity' monster on my field, and it gains 100 ATK for each of my face-up banished cards."
