Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Golden Duo

Black Garden, Field Spell.

In short, under this field, all monsters summoned by either player have their ATK halved. And every time someone summons a monster, a Rose Token with 800 ATK is created on the opponent’s field.

Its second effect: destroy all Plant monsters you control; then special summon Plant monsters from your GY whose total ATK equals the combined ATK of the destroyed monsters.

Because the card was used by 5D’s heroine Akiza Izinski, Kira figured it belonged to the next generation.

But then again, 5D’s shares the same world as GX, and many older cards stick around into the future.

And while 5D’s is said to take place decades after GX, the series features Tetsu Trudge, a character spanning the franchise. Tetsu Trudge was an early DM-era hall monitor at Yugi’s school—he once beat up Joey and extorted Yugi—then suffered a Penalty Game from the Pharaoh.

In 5D’s, that former upperclassman had become a security officer, arresting criminals via Turbo Duels.

From DM to GX is already a 10-year jump; if 5D’s were truly decades more, Tetsu Trudge would be a frail old man—hardly active in the plot. Using him as an anchor, the gap between Gen 2 and Gen 3 can’t be that long.

Besides that, Kira unexpectedly found a few "Ice Barrier" cards.

Ice Barrier used to be a popular archetype—full Water, focused on locking the opponent’s actions. Their Synchro aces like Brionac and Trishula were infamous on banlists for ruining fun.

Of course, Synchro doesn’t exist yet. And calling it an "archetype" here is generous—just a handful of cards, nowhere near playable.

Still, it made Kira think: when the Synchro era arrives, Ice Barrier would suit him.

Not just for power—because it tilts people.

Recently, Kira’s haul had been great—his stock saw a bumper crop, which was rare for him at this stage. Over the past half-year his inventory had expanded a lot; even through Duel Academy’s channels, truly valuable cards had grown scarce.

Lately, he completed Volcanic—well, mainly grabbed the last pieces from KaibaCorp; the build had been in progress for a while.

Then the big prize: Gladiator Beasts from Mello—a world champion-tier archetype dominating the Fusion era.

Beating the Supreme King, although the Supreme King’s Evil HERO suite along with the King himself had been absorbed by Jaden, Kira still made gains. He confiscated many decks from the King’s subordinates.

The most valuable among them was a fan-favorite archetype that served as a major arm of the Supreme King’s army in the anime:

Dark World.

Dark World once had a huge player base. Dark-Attribute Fiends with effects that trigger when discarded by card effects, and even stronger effects if discarded by the opponent’s effects.

They were strong back then—but still a pain to assemble for Kira. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As shown in the anime, each Dark World monster appeared separately, scattered across the Supreme King’s domains and different squads.

So Kira had spent a long time—months trekking through the King’s dimensions, picking them up one by one—only completing a rough build after clearing the Supreme King’s castle.

The upside: almost every Dark World card he collected corresponded to a spirit. They didn’t directly inhabit the cards, staying in Dark World, but they had all been subdued by Kira in duels. With their previous master toppled, they were now loyal to their new one.

Well, if you lose at cards, loyalty’s not exactly optional.

"Thank you for your patronage~"

Kira was spending big these days. Grandpa Solomon took the money, then smilingly handed over a boxed stack of cards.

"Good stuff, young man," Grandpa said. "I’ve seen some of your duels—lots of potential. When Yugi gets back, you two should talk. I’ve got a feeling you’ll hit it off."

"Thank you, Grandpa," Kira said, putting the box away.
