Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1073

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: Three Down

Boom!

Another deafening explosion. A tornado whipped up outside the window, sending rebar and debris flying.

Kira got out and walked to the edge of the flyover, looking down from above.

"That area...The Daimon Area?" he mused.

After some time as chief, he’d learned a bit about the city. That section beneath the bridge was the so-called "Daimon Area," inhabited mainly by expelled ex-convicts marked as "scum," unable to live in the city but unwilling to return to the Satellite Zone. Over time, such people had settled in the liminal area between city and Satellite, forming the Daimon Area.

Now, a black whirlwind gouged the ground, the wind filled with rebar and brick like a cutting weapon. Ruined buildings crumbled, old brickwork turning to dust, concrete chunks forming a vortex.

In the midst of the storm, huge tendrils lashed out like monstrous stitches, piercing through buildings.

"Tendrils?" Kira instantly guessed who was behind the chaos.

Down in the square, people screamed and ran. "A witch! It’s the witch!"

"Black Rose Witch has appeared!"

The swirling tentacles slashed through the haze. They weren’t projection holograms from a Duel Disk—they had real substance. Every swing brought fierce squalls. The square soon emptied, leaving just one figure.

It was a graceful woman’s silhouette, wrapped in a billowy black cloak and hood, with pink hair spilling from beneath and a white mask hiding her face—almost entirely concealed.

"She’s here—Number Two," Kira chuckled quietly.

He knew this was another Signer he needed: the heroine of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s—if you can call it a story with a heroine—Akiza Izinski.

Unlike the classic duelists of DM and GX who could manifest spirits, Akiza had no dark powers—just "psychic dueling": a kind of superpower akin to a genetic mutation. She’d been born able to project card monsters into reality.

The trouble was, she couldn’t control her powers—they triggered whenever she used cards, like in the GX "spirit world."

Because she’d hurt people without meaning to, she lived amid hatred and fear, branded as a "witch." Even her own parents were scared of her, causing a rift and leading to her running away. (Later, with Yusei’s help, she reconciles with her family.)

Of course, she was also a Signer. Her psychic powers were innate and seemingly unrelated to the Crimson Dragon, but since her dragon mark and psychic powers coexisted, she blamed the dragon mark, loathing her own power and calling it "the cursed seal."

Kira watched from the bridge as Akiza rampaged and then vanished from the square. He didn’t intervene, nor did he immediately invite her to the tournament. If he gave her an invite now, she might accept—or not.

It didn’t matter. Kira had a better plan to ensure her participation.

A proper villain needs a strategy.

For now, it was better to approach someone easier first.
