Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1212

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: The Future Deck

"Well done."

Z-ONE looked at Kira, who had just returned to his domain, and spoke with a calm air.

At this moment, Kira was checking through the cards he’d just received from Z-ONE—or, more precisely, from a research institute under Z-ONE’s control.

Z-ONE was the secret mastermind behind the Iliaster Organization. Iliaster themselves had travelled through multiple eras of human civilization, establishing deep foundations and leaving hidden forces and organizations in every age. Unsurprisingly, among these were institutions dedicated to card printing and dueling research.

This time, Kira had received some new cards from one such institution, generously sponsored by Iliaster—cards that happened to pique his interest.

For example, an incomplete set of T.G. (Tech Genus) cards.

As the first deck in anime history to showcase the concept of "Accel Synchro" as an ace, Kira was naturally somewhat interested in T.G. And thanks to Antinomy’s pivotal role and popularity in the anime, the archetype even received decent support in the future.

Kira didn’t know whether T.G. was considered an ultra-rare deck in the future, or if, like HEROes in the GX era, it would be fairly common. At least, Z-ONE’s stockpile had some, though apart from the set once held by Antinomy, the rest weren’t exactly complete.

Notably, heavy-hitters like T.G. Blade Blaster and the ultimate ace T.G. Halberd Cannon were missing.

Kira felt a little regretful about that.

He was interested in the anime-exclusive version of Halberd Cannon, but unfortunately, it wasn’t included.

It was a shame, because Kira felt that the anime Halberd Cannon would have suited him perfectly. Being able to lock out up to three summons of any kind per turn—even shutting down monster card effects that perform summoning—was an insanely powerful form of suppression.

How fun would it be to summon something like that? After all, isn’t enjoyment the most important part of dueling? Was there anything in dueling more enjoyable than this?

Sadly, it simply wasn’t an option.

In the anime, "Accel Synchro" was presented as an ace of a unique nature, on a transcendent level of power.

According to lore, one needed to achieve a state of "Clear Mind" to control Accel Synchro monsters. Even after Yusei obtained Shooting Star Dragon, he’d always draw a completely blank card when synchronizing for it—only for Shooting Star Dragon’s artwork to appear as the Accel Synchro process completed.

So Kira boldly speculated: these Accel Synchro monsters only materialize during duels, appearing through the process of awakening to this mindset and accelerating within the duel.

As for this "Clear Mind" state, Kira wasn’t very clear himself. The anime didn’t give much to latch onto in terms of character growth or inner state.

Besides T.G. cards, Kira also got another unexpected haul.

"There’s actually this many of these cards?"

Kira counted a fistful of Meklord Emperor cards and all sorts of their pieces, looking surprised.

He used to think that decks belonging to top Iliaster Organization executives like the Three Pure Nobles might be rare cards too. Turned out, not only were they not rare, Z-ONE’s stockroom seemed to be mass-producing them—there was a whole pile. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Thinking about it, it made sense. In the ruined future, "Meklord Emperors" were just mass-produced machines, swarming the world like locusts.
