Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Synchro Engine Introduction! Spirit Dragon and Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon!



While Seto Kaiba was deep in self-doubt, the video blogger "My Bride is Mine" had already begun discussing the two Fusion cards.

My Bride is Mine: "That's about it for the Fusion cards you need to run, because the one you'll use most often is Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!"

My Bride is Mine: "As for cards like the original Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Twin Burst Dragon, or even Dragon Master Knight, they're mostly just fodder to be discarded for Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's multi-attack effect."

My Bride is mine: "Of course, for Blue-Eyes Fusion, you can also include Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, another great card for aggressive plays. Next, let's look at what Synchro cards we'll be running."

[Card Name: Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon (Level 9)]

[Attribute: LIGHT]

[Type: Dragon]

[ATK/DEF: 2500/3000]

[Effect: 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner Normal Monsters]

[①: When this card is Special Summoned: Dragon monsters you currently control cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects until the end of the next turn.]

[②: During your Standby Phase: You can target 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.]

In the next few seconds of the video, the Blue-Eyes Synchro cards appeared. The shimmering, silvery-white card immediately caught the attention of the duelists from the older generations.

So this is it! The white-bordered Duel Monster cards they had never seen before?

And what is "Synchro"?

"Tuner" monster, and "non-Tuner" monster?

...

DM World

Seto Kaiba's deep thoughts were shattered the moment this card appeared. The 2500 ATK was irrelevant to him. The key was the card's effect! It could grant all of his Dragon monsters protection from effect destruction! This was protection! A rare form of protection that his entire Dragon army could benefit from!

And the Standby Phase effect was even more absurd! It could revive a Normal Monster from the Graveyard unconditionally! There was no doubt about it—this was the perfect tool to support Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

"No way! Is this another ace card for Blue-Eyes?"

"Kaiba! Do you know what 'Tuner' and 'non-Tuner' mean? Do you understand how to summon it?"

Pharaoh Atem, dwelling within Yugi's soul, couldn't hold back any longer and took control of Yugi's body. His questions left the nearby Kaiba speechless. He wanted to say something but didn't know how.

That's right. What exactly is a Tuner monster?

"Yugi! This white card is probably a brand-new summoning method, right?" Téa Gardner analyzed calmly. "Just like Fusion and Ritual! 'Tuner' is probably one of the conditions!"

Joey, who was about to complain, also calmed down. On the other side, Bakura, Ishizu, and Marik all frowned. A Tuner monster?

...

GX World

Jaden Yuki scratched the back of his head. Seeing the white card already felt like a brain-burner. As someone who only loved fusions and HEROes, he naturally couldn't comprehend what a Synchro was.

"Mamma Mia!" Professor Crowler clutched his head and cried out. "This card looks like a fake card made by a street vendor! When did Duel Monsters get white cards? How come I never knew?"

Though he said that, in his heart, he knew this white card was definitely real.

"He's right," Alexis Rhodes covered her mouth, her voice filled with confusion and bewilderment. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon is President Kaiba's ace. He's never used anything like this!"

"Hehehe," Zane Truesdale just gave a cold laugh. "Interesting, an alternative type of card and dueling rule. I'm curious to see what kind of combos a Blue-Eyes deck that includes these white cards can pull off." He didn't seem too surprised by the cards appearing before him.

...

5DS World

Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas exchanged a glance. Unlike the duelists from the previous two eras, they knew exactly how powerful this Synchro card was.

"The power level is decent. Adding it to a Dragon deck would be a huge boost," Yusei muttered, still analyzing things in his head. "But it specifically requires Normal Monsters, and its Level is quite high."

"Don't worry, Yusei," Akiza said, pointing to the data screen on her Duel Runner. "This person is introducing another card. The next one seems to be... Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon!"

And just as she said, another Synchro card, an ace monster for the Blue-Eyes archetype, appeared!

[Card Name: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon (Level 9)]

[Attribute: LIGHT]

[Type: Dragon]

[ATK/DEF: 2500/3000]

And the power this Blue-Eyes Synchro brought to the table left many duelists completely dumbfounded!

Effect 1: Neither player can Special Summon 2 or more monsters at the same time.

Effect 2: Once per turn, when an effect is activated in the Graveyard (Quick Effect): You can negate the activation.

Effect 3: (Quick Effect): You can Tribute this Synchro Summoned card; Special Summon 1 LIGHT Dragon Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck in Defense Position, but destroy it during the End Phase of this turn.

Three effects! The moment he saw them, the Blue-Eyes master Seto Kaiba immediately thought of the previous card, Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon!

"Could it be!"

"During the opponent's turn, Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon tags out into Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon!"

"By using Azure-Eyes' effect, it bypasses its own self-destruction!"

"Then, on my turn, I can even use its effect to revive a Normal Monster from the Graveyard, which means another Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

His words sent a jolt through Yugi, Mai, and Joey! What a terrifying combo! You could play like that?! It even counters the Graveyard! How could you play against this without it being nerfed?

The other duelists also slowly began to realize the implications!

In an instant, this single scene from the short video plunged the duelists of six different worlds into a stunned, profound silence.
