Secret Technique: Disrupting Triangle Hurricane!
This move is said to be the ultimate secret of the Ojama Brothers. The three brothers once again assume their classic comedic posture, with their butts touching, and start spinning like a blazing wheel. An unstoppable three-colored storm immediately swept across the opponent's half of the field, destroying everything with incredible momentum.
"Tch, these small fry would never break through my mecha defenses!"
Kak hurriedly responded.
"Activate the cover card, Trap Card 'Riding'!
Select an Alliance Monster from my graveyard and equip a monster on my field that can be equipped!"
A card popped out from the graveyard area of his Duel Disc.
"I equip 'Mecha Team - Peacekeeper' from the graveyard to 'Mecha Team - Fortress' on the field!"
An agile transforming mecha immediately appeared from the graveyard, fitting over the heavy fortress like a layer of red armor.
"A mecha fortress equipped with an alliance equip can have 'Mecha Team - Peacekeeper' take the destruction in its place in case of battle or effect destruction!"
The three-colored storm swept across the mecha's field, and the equipped alliance armor collapsed with a bang. But with this protective layer, the staggering Mecha Fortress managed to withstand the storm.
"Heh, small fry will always be small fry." Kak adjusted his glasses, "It seems like my strategy is still a step ahead."
Yugen remained silent, only playing another card: "Then I activate the Magic Card 'Horse Bone's Price', sending non-effect monsters on the field to the graveyard, and drawing two cards.
I send 'Ojama Green' to the graveyard and draw from the deck."
He then grabbed a handful of four cards in his hand.
"Set four cards face-down on the field, and end my turn."
Kak: "!"
Set... four cards?
Keihei was also curious about Yugen's duel style since he knew his brother cared about this duelist.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think of two old friends.
One was the sunny boy Six-year-old, from the Duel City era, whose smiling face remained vivid but was long gone.
The other, needless to say, was a legend who retired early, using Underworld tactics even though he was from the Mortal World, sending Underworld people playing Mortal cards back to the Underworld...
Keihei glanced at Yugen curiously.
Could this guy be a duelist like in the Yu-Gi-Oh! game?
That's really rare...
"My turn, draw!" Kak snorted, "No matter what strategy you have, the power of mecha can easily crush it!
I summon..."
"Hold on, the preparation phase isn't over yet." Yugen snapped his fingers, "Flip the cover card, Trap Card 'Crossbow Team'!
Sacrifice a monster on my field to destroy a card on the opponent's field.
I sacrifice 'Ojama Black', to destroy 'Mecha Team - Fortress'!"
A giant crossbow appeared on Yugen's field, and Ojama Black leaped onto the crossbow. Drawing the bowstring, Ojama Black became a human cannonball, humorously spinning in mid-air and smashing through the indestructible shell of the Mecha Fortress with a boom, butt-first.
The fortress was breached, crackling and sparking, and within moments, the massive fortress collapsed with a rumbling crash, reduced to a heap of scrap metal.
The animated performance by Ojama Black just made Kak inexplicably angry.
"Tch, my fortress had to go down with trash like that...?"
But it didn't matter.
His invincible Mecha Fortress could regenerate from the graveyard no matter how many times, as long as he discarded mechanical Race cards from his hand totaling eight stars or more, it could immediately resurrect...
"Next, activate the cover card."
At Yugen's side, he flipped open another card in the back row.
"Trap Card 'Ojama Trio'. Special summon three 'Ojama Derivatives' to the opponent's field, and these derivatives cannot be used as a tribute for an upper-level summon.
Go, Ojama Trio Derivatives!"
The yellow, black, and green derivatives jumped onto Kak's field, each taking their position and skillfully starting to snore, drink tea, and read newspapers...
Kak frowned as he watched these three things jump onto the field, but still snorted, "Giving monsters to the opponent for free, is this how the Academy teaches you dueling tactics?"
"Haha, I'm a rookie, so my dueling is naturally not very mature."
Yugen laughed.
"But I do have a few personal insights, and if you're willing to teach me, I'd certainly be grateful.
Next, I'm going to activate this set card..."
He raised his hand and flipped open the last card in the back row.
"Continuous Trap - Heroic Warlords!"
Kak squinted his eyes as he examined this Trap.
Heroic... Warlords, what the hell is that?
"Each player sends monsters on their field to the graveyard until only monsters of one race remain on their respective field."
Yugen explained with a smile.
"And as long as this card remains on the field, both players can only summon monsters of one race."
Kak: "?"
He didn't seem to immediately understand what this means.
Staring at the Continuous Trap, then at the three derivatives snoozing, sipping tea, and reading newspapers on his field...
Kak: "!!!!!!!!"
What... what is this!?
Only one race of monster can appear on the field, and currently, his field is occupied by the three Ojama Brothers, who are all of the Beast Race.
This means that going forward, he can only summon Beast Race monsters?
However, he's a mecha player, and his deck doesn't have any Beast Race at all!
Realizing the brilliance of this combo instantly, Kak's eyes widened, and his glasses almost slid off his nose.
It was the first time Keihei had witnessed Yugen duel live, and he opened his mouth wide, as if a torrent of words was stuck in his throat.
Ah, this...
In fact, [Ojama Trio] and [Heroic Warlords] have been the core cards of disruption strategy since early on, serving as the central combo of this deck. It's just that Yugen didn't draw them in his last duel with the Maze Brothers.
Heroic Warlords is an ancient card from that era. Although it has a formidable lockdown ability from the underworld perspective by today's Yu-Gi-Oh! standards—it remains a limited card—it wasn't immediately favored by players in the early days.
[Can only control one monster type] is undeniably devastating to decks with diverse monster types today. Such a trap directly crushes strategies unable to unfold.
But we must remember, early Yu-Gi-Oh! was a slow-paced environment, where each side might go several turns with only a single lonely monster on the field. In such a setting, even in the eyes of players, Heroic Warlords was considered mediocre for a long time, unable to make a splash in the meta.
But the construction around [Disruption Canceller] discovered this card and unearthed its potential.
The suppression and lockdown of just this card may not seem substantial, but what if you give the opponent three useless derivatives?
"Senior, do you think my tactics are okay?" Yugen asked, as polite as always.
Kak: "......"
He wanted to ask if it's normal for Duel Academy to teach card play like this?
But he couldn't quite find the words.
"I... cover a monster on the field."
He said through gritted teeth.
"Then cover a card on the field, turn over."
Obviously, his entire deck is Mechanical Race, meaning monster summoning is essentially sealed, leaving him only to cover monsters face down.
However, as long as a facedown monster is flipped up, if its type differs from monsters already on the field, it must still be sent to the graveyard per 'Heroic Warlords's' effect.
"In the end phase, I'll activate the cover card." Yugen said, "Trap Card 'Collateral Damage'!
500 points of damage for each monster on the opponent's field!"
This is also an early primary output method for the [Disruption Canceller] deck. The 'Ojama Trio' jumping onto the opponent's field directly means three monsters, guaranteeing at least 1500 points of damage.
"You currently have a total of four monsters on your field." Yugen continued, "So, please accept 2000 points of damage, senior."
The radiance from each of the Ojama Derivative trio and covered monster rushed toward Kak, making his figure tremble, and his digital body flickered with misalignment, with streams of data leaking out.
[Kak, LP 4000→LP 2000]
"Ugh... novice..." Kak gritted his teeth.
And just when his anger was at its peak, the Ojama Trio had an animation.
Derivative Green: "Oh dear, I kind of feel bad for screwing someone over. So sorry."
Derivative Yellow: "But for some reason, it just feels much better on this side."
Derivative Black: "Wheee~ wheee~"
The animation left Kak feeling as if he had taken a solid hit to the chest, and his vision went dark.
Damn you guys...
"My turn, draw."
Yugen drew a card, glancing more than once at the trio opposite him.
Speaking of which, the trio cards he bought seemed completely ordinary, though every time he summoned these three onto the opponent's field, their antics would always steal the show.
Could there be elves in these derivatives...
"Then to my turn, draw." Yugen glanced, showing a card from his hand, "Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two more cards."
After drawing, he immediately slammed down one of them.
"Normal Summon 'Inaba's White Rabbit'!"
[Inaba's White Rabbit, Attack Power 700]
"'Inaba's White Rabbit' and my 'Ojama Yellow' on the field are both Beast Race, so they aren't restricted by 'Heroic Warlords' and can be summoned.
And this card can directly attack the opponent."
Yugen gestured forward.
"'Inaba's White Rabbit', direct attack!"
The red-eyed white rabbit swung its hammer as it leapt forward, striking Kak's forehead directly, causing stars to flash before his eyes.
[Kak, LP 2000→LP 1300]
Then, astonishingly, those three derivatives even showed concern.
Derivative Yellow: "Oh my, seems like that hit hard. Are you okay?"
It said calmly, munching its snack and sipping tea.
Derivative Green rustled the newspaper: "Sounds painful."
Derivative Black: "Wheee~ wheee~"
Kak's molars were on the verge of shattering: "You guys... cough... you guys..."
Yugen stroked his chin.
Hmm, the effect is even better than I imagined.
After all, in reality, being plagued by a strategy like this would at most be upset by the opponent's stalling tactics, but here, you're not only vexed by strategy but also taunted in your face by these three.
Looking at his doodle-faced expression, you can sense how overwhelming the effect is...
"Cover a card."
Yugen set another card on the backfield.
"'Inaba's White Rabbit' will return to its owner's hand at the end of the turn it was summoned."
The rabbit transformed into a beam of light, reverted to a card, and flew back into his hand.
"My turn ends."
