Fusion lock—lifted!
"Jaden’s not the kind of duelist you can just shut down," Misawa chuckled. "He found a way out."
"Yeah, that’s Jaden for you," Chumley agreed. "If he could be suppressed so easily, he wouldn’t be him."
"Alright!" Jaden declared. "From my hand, I activate another Polymerization!"
"My HEROes are only just getting started. Now the real battle begins..."
"I activate a set card," Kira said calmly, flipping a card face-up.
"Continuous Trap—Narukami Waterfall. As long as this card is on the field, neither player can send monsters from their hand to the graveyard!" (Manga card)
Jaden stared at the card, thinking hard for a couple of seconds.
Then his eyes widened, mouth falling open:
"Nani!? No sending from hand—so..."
"That’s right," Kira smiled. "Sorry, Jaden, but looks like you still can’t use hand Fusion."
The previously impressed crowd fell silent.
After several seconds, Chumley finally said, "Well, Jaden is Jaden, but Kira is Kira."
"Indeed," Misawa nodded. "If he could be broken so easily, he wouldn’t be Kira."
Another Polymerization wasted. Jaden scratched his head: "Wow, you really came prepared. So now I have to get my Fusion materials on the field, huh..."
But right now, the field was under Kira’s control—he had a powerful Chaos Sorcerer, and it wouldn’t be easy to get Fusion materials on board.
Still...
Jaden glanced at his hand, a barely contained excitement on his face.
He still had a way to break through!
"I activate the Spell Card ’Soul Return’!" Jaden declared. "Return two Warrior monsters from my graveyard to the top of my deck in any order!" (Manga card)
Two cards slid out of his graveyard, which Jaden flashed for all to see.
"I return ’Elemental HERO Avian’ and ’Elemental HERO Burstinatrix’ to the top of my deck."
He placed the two cards on top of his deck.
"Now back to the top!"
"Oh?" Kira said with interest. "Putting them on top of the deck—what for?"
"Heh, you’ll see soon enough."
Jaden waved his hand, playing another Spell Card face-down.
"Spell Card—Fusion Birth! Send the top five cards of your deck to the grave, and if you send the required Fusion materials, you can Fusion Summon that monster!" (Manga card)
Crowd: "What!?"
Even the audience was shocked.
You could fuse directly from the deck like this?
"Whoa," Kira narrowed his eyes. "As expected of Fusion Dimension’s ace, Jaden—so many fancy Fusion tricks..."
"Sending five from the deck to the graveyard!"
Jaden quickly drew five cards. The top two, of course, were Avian and Burstinatrix, which he had just returned.
