Pegasus Moonwalker, Nightwalker's twin brother. In the side story, he was mistaken by Yugen and others for Nightwalker when he appeared, but at that time, he was actually being mentally controlled by Nightwalker.
At the same time, he was also called "The Perfect Duelist" by Beckas.
Mitsuzawa and Asuka held their breath.
Suddenly there's going to be a duel, and the opponent is a legend...
If this were before they started school, they might have instinctively thought that facing these legendary figures was completely unwinnable.
But now it's different.
Thinking back, it seems like Yugen has hammered quite a few legends. The most representative victims are the Maze Brothers, who probably didn't want to touch cards for a while...
In their eyes, Yugen has somehow upgraded from a "unique honor student" to an image of "it's not surprising if he beats legends".
Mitsuzawa is also very curious about where that guy's limits lie.
"Duel!" x2
[Moonwalker, LP 4000]
[Yugen, LP 4000]
"Then I'll go first. Draw." Moonwalker played two cards from his hand.
"Set a monster in defense position face down, and then set a card in the backfield. End my turn."
"My turn, draw," Yugen said.
Upon drawing, he respectfully played a Pot of Greed card, showing respect to Professor Chronos.
"Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two cards from the deck."
After drawing, he immediately summoned his first monster.
"Summon 'Blade Knight'!"
[Blade Knight, Attack Power 1600]
Current players might find it hard to imagine, but this unassuming Blade Knight was once a strong card that was popular in the metagame at the time it was released.
With a base Attack Power of 1600, as a lower-level attacker, it was barely qualified. Its first effect is that when the player's hand is less than 1 card, this card's Attack Power on the field increases by 400 points.
The environment Blade Knight thrived in was exactly the period when "Hand Destruction" was rampant, and losing hand card resources was commonplace for duelists. So many times, when Blade Knight was summoned, it already had an attack point of 2000, making it a quality attacker.
In addition, it has a second effect that can negate the effect of reversed monsters destroyed by battle.
It's important to know that in the early days of Yu-Gi-Oh!, reversed monsters were a very important component. The old perennial Forbidden Cards like Transformation Pot, Fiber Pot, and Divine Mage were all one-card overturning reversed monsters in the past, and slightly lesser ones included various reversed explosive cards and those that bounce monsters back to the hand, serving as board-clearing reversed monsters.
In such an environment, Blade Knight's second effect was also very practical.
Another important point, it has a Light Attribute. With several advantages combined, Blade Knight was definitely able to secure a spot in the light and dark-themed Chaos Deck.
Yugen: "Blade Knight, attack the face-down monster."
Moonwalker's set monster flipped up, revealing a bespectacled, pointy-eared elf girl wearing a short skirt and stockings, holding a magic book in her arms.
[Scholar Spirit, Defense Power 1500] (Original Card)
The monster used by Moonwalker in the original story. Unlike his brother Nightwalker, most of Pegasus Moonwalker's deck hasn't been made into real cards.
On Pegasus Nightwalker's side, whether it is the Three Evil Gods or his original Barbaros series, they were made into real cards quite early, and were treated quite well.
"Scholar Spirit's effect, when this card is sent to the graveyard, I draw a card from the deck," Moonwalker said. "Since she's not a reversed monster, she won't be negated by Blade Warrior's effect."
The short-lived bespectacled elf left the field under the ruthless blade, and Moonwalker drew a card.
Yugen looked a little longer at the bespectacled elf that turned into light and dissipated.
Scholar Spirit...
It's said, "When this card is sent to the graveyard, draw a card," without specifying that it must be sent from the field.
This card seems kind of nice...
Yugen drew four more cards in one go.
"Set four cards face down, turn end."
"Four face-down cards..."
Moonwalker slightly frowned.
"Then, during the End Phase, I'll activate a set card," Moonwalker said, "Trap Card - Sixth Sense!
Declare any two numbers between 1~6, and the opponent rolls the dice.
If the number I declare is rolled, draw that many cards.
If not, send cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard equal to the dice roll."
Yugen nodded: "Then declare the numbers."
"Of course, five and six," said Moonwalker.
The dice was rolled, landing on the number 4 after two turns.
"A one-third chance, but it seems like it didn't land," Moonwalker wasn't surprised, "Then, I'll send four cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard."
He drew four cards and sent them to the graveyard in the Duel Disc.
"Now to my turn, draw," Moonwalker said, "Activate the Magic Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards, then discard two cards from the hand."
Moonwalker drew cards from the deck. Even in an original card series where Strong Desire Angels were commonplace, Pegasus Moonwalker was especially fond of "Angel's Charity", and was also one of the few characters in the original series who used two Angel's Charities in one duel.
"Then, normal summon 'Wise Centaur Chiron'."
[Wise Centaur Chiron, Attack Power 1800]
"Wise Centaur Chiron can destroy a Magic or Trap card on the opponent's field by discarding a Magic Card from the hand," Moonwalker said, "I'll destroy the second face-down card from the left."
He discarded a card from his hand to the graveyard, and Chiron's magic staff glowed red, targeting one of Yugen's face-down cards in the backfield.
"Then open the face-down card," said Yugen, "Trap Card 'Breakthrough Skill', negates the effect of a monster on the opponent's field until the end of the turn.
Negate Wise Centaur Chiron's effect!"
The trap flipped, and the red glow on Centaur Sage's staff dimmed, failing to activate.
"Dodged it... but the Magic Card I discarded is 'Card of Compensation', drawing two more cards according to its effect," Moonwalker drew his cards, "then activate the Magic Card 'Revive the Dead'!
With this effect, revive 'Light Divine Machine - Roaring Dragon' from the graveyard!"
"The monster sent to the graveyard due to Sixth Sense's effect?" Gold medal commentator Mitsuzawa continued his duty, "The duel isn't even well underway, yet he wants to summon such a high-level monster..."
The Light Divine Machine - Roaring Dragon is a Level 8 Angel-type with an Attack Power of 2900, which is only 100 points lower than the noble Blue-Eyes White Dragon, extremely formidable.
"Then Counterattack Trap - Divine Warning!"
Yugen, without any hesitation, immediately summoned the invincible The Old Sage.
"Pay 2000 Life Points, negate the activation of a monster's summon, or an effect that includes 'Special Summon Monster', and destroy it!" Yugen said, "Negate 'Revive the Dead'!"
[Yugen, LP 4000→LP 2000]
The God said, "It's not allowed!"
The invincible Old Sage extended his hand solemnly, gesturing that it's not allowed. Celestial Thunder came crashing down and instantly shattered the revive symbol. The angel, whose presence had failed, dissolved back into a phantom and disappeared.
"Negated the Light Divine Machine's appearance, truly decisive..."
Moonwalker pondered.
As the rumors say, he values disrupting the opponent's duel, a type of duelist that sets up resistance.
"Then I'll activate this card next..."
Moonwalker held up a card and shouted.
"Magic Card 'Armed Rebirth'! Turn all Equipment Magic and Trap Cards in my graveyard into monsters with 500 points of Attack and Defense for a special summon!" (Original Card)
Mitsuzawa: "?"
Asuka: "?"
What the heck?
Turning equipment Magic and Traps... into summoned monsters?
This is also a card from Moonwalker in the original story, and it was one of his key tactical cards. However, with such an abstract effect, it's easy to understand why it wasn't made into a real card.
"According to this effect..."
He brought out four cards from the graveyard.
"I'll special summon the Equipment Magic Cards 'Power of Unity', 'Demon's Axe', 'Jade Sword' (Original Card), and 'Power of the Mage' from the graveyard as monsters!"
