Cyber Jar was indeed the card Kaiba drew last turn, a card with the potential to instantly turn around the extremely unfavorable situation on the field.
By using the Trap Card "Threatening Roar" to prevent Youyu from attacking, by next Kaiba's turn, he would be able to flip Cyber Jar face-up, using its flip effect to destroy Youyu's luxurious Hero lineup in one fell swoop, regaining the initiative in the duel.
Unfortunately, it was obvious that this ultimate move was also dismantled by Youyu.
But Kaiba didn't back down, not even a hint of retreat could be seen in his eyes.
One turn? Then another one. If one move doesn't work, then keep searching for the next reversal move.
As long as there are Life Points remaining, he will forge ahead, never looking back. In duels or in life, Seto Kaiba has always gone forward like this.
"My... turn!"
Kaiba drew a card, his eyes moved, then he waved his arm.
"Magic Card - Card of Demise, draw until five cards in hand from the Deck!"
It appeared! Kaiba's signature turnaround Divine Card!
Watching Kaiba quickly refilling his hand with cards after drawing in a desperate situation, Youyu was not surprised at all.
If anything, he had always been curious when Kaiba would draw this card.
"But at this moment, the effect of 'Masked Hero Dark Claw' is also activated."
As Youyu spoke, the dark Hero on the field erupted with a thick darkness once more, like black flames exploding centered on him, shaking the ground under his feet.
Kaiba was slightly surprised: "It still has effects!?"
"The second effect of 'Masked Hero Dark Claw': once per turn, if the opponent adds a card from the Deck to their hand outside of the draw phase, banish one card from the opponent's hand randomly!"
Youyu raised his hand to point at Kaiba's hand.
"From right to left, the second card, banish that card."
The card selected from Kaiba's hand immediately flew out, spinning into the air.
It turned out to be a Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
The white phantom beast in the card seemed to roar in discontent, but having no chance to appear on the stage, it was powerless against Dark Claw's dark force - no, Dark Hero, and it disappeared with a burst of golden light.
Mokuba was tense: "Ah! Brother's second Blue-Eyes White Dragon was banished too..."
This Masked Hero called Dark Claw is absurdly strong!
"Hmph! Just a minor trick!"
Kaiba shouted, drawing another card from his hand and showing it to Youyu.
It was yet another Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
Even Youyu had to admire Kaiba's ability to consistently draw three Blue-Eyes Dragons. Nevertheless, he still didn't quite understand—
—So why show me this card?
Could it be just to boast, saying it doesn't matter if you banished one, because I have three?
No way, President shouldn't be that way...
Indeed, President then raised his hand and slapped down the next card.
"This card can be Special Summoned by revealing a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your hand to the opponent!" Kaiba shouted aloud, "With the dragon's soul as the guide, come forth my new servant—
—Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!!!"
Blue light rippled like waves on the water, and the silhouette of the White Dragon soared out! Its exoskeleton-like body was angular and radiant, the bone wings gleaming like they were forged from metal. As it took flight, it was surrounded by waves of blue energy, and its roaring mouth was filled with sharp teeth!
[Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, ATK 3000]
"President has indeed printed quite a lot of good stuff recently..." Youyu muttered to himself as he looked at the formidable White Dragon.
"Go ahead!" Kaiba shouted, "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, crush 'Masked Hero Blast'!"
The White Dragon opened its mouth, spewing blue cannon bursts from its dark maw! The impact that turned the world dim seemed like an endless river rushing out of the dragon's mouth!
Though powerful, Blast was not particularly adept at direct combat. The White Dragon's blast breached his defenses, sending him flying into the air as armor shattered with crackling noises.
[Youyu, LP 2400 → LP 1600]
"Next, activate Set Card!" Kaiba seemed to have found his counterattack rhythm, waving his arm, "Trap Card - Parasitic Heart! This card can target a face-up Continuous Trap Card on the opponent's field and gain its effect for this turn!" (Anime card)
Kaiba pointed straight at a card on Youyu's field.
"I want to gain the effect of your Continuous Trap 'Mirror Force Initiation' on your field!"
Youyu: "!"
Only to see a vine-like tendril extending from the card, suddenly entangling the Continuous Trap on Youyu's field, whisking it into the air and replacing it with Kaiba's card, Parasitic Heart.
"According to the effect gained by 'Parasitic Heart' from Continuous Trap 'Mirror Force Initiation'!" Kaiba announced, "Once per turn, discard a Monster Card from your hand to add a 'Mirror Force' from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand!
I discard a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand to add a 'Mirror Force' from my Deck to my hand!"
Youyu: "!?"
I didn't expect that Kaiba, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, also carried Mirror Forces?
Kaiba discarded the third 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from his hand—though due to the invincible 'Masked Hero Dark Claw', this White Dragon was also banished from the game.
Then his Prototype New Duel Disc began executing the search protocol, ejecting a 'Mirror Force' card from the Deck.
"Awesome, brother!" Mokuba exclaimed in delight, "This way, Brother Youyu can't attack recklessly!"
"Set two cards face down, end turn!"
Kaiba waved his hand, two Set Cards appeared in front of him.
He then folded his arms, almost wanting his nose pointed to the sky: "If you have the guts, then boldly come at me! You↑Yu↓!"
Looking at the two Set Cards in his backfield, Youyu lightly raised his eyebrows.
No doubt, one of them was 'Mirror Force'.
Previously, he used a Mirror Force to trap Kaiba, leaving him helpless, and he didn't expect the tables would turn so quickly, highlighting the give-and-take spirit, truly a taste of karma...
"My turn, draw." Youyu drew two cards, "I'll set two cards on the field first, then activate Magic Card - Card of Sanctity. Both players draw until they have six cards in hand from their Decks.
Similarly, the ability of Dark Claw will trigger at this moment, and one card in your hand must be randomly banished."
Another card was banished from the game, and the President snorted, expressionless.
After drawing cards, Youyu closed his eyes, pondering for a moment, then proclaimed, "Battle! Attack 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' with Elemental Hero Absolute Zero!"
Mokuba: "Eh!?"
