Watching Yu-Gi-Oh! short videos is making the veteran players lose...

After the demonstration of the Blue-Eyes Rank 8 Galaxy-Eyes Xyz combo in the first-generation world...

DM World

Seto Kaiba took a deep breath, unable to calm the shock in his heart for a long time. The so-called Xyz, a brand-new summoning method, had shaken him to his core!

"So this is the power of Blue-Eyes' Extra Deck beyond Fusion?"

"So that's how it is?"

"Then, what exactly is Synchro?"

Kaiba muttered to himself, his mind replaying the image of two Blue-Eyes White Dragons being overlaid. Even those few short seconds had given him a basic understanding of Xyz.

"Hiss!"

"What a simple summoning method and condition!" Yugi and the Pharaoh within him quickly summarized one of the key features of Xyz after watching. "But to activate an effect, you have to detach a material from under the card. It seems the number of times you can activate its effects is very limited! That must be a characteristic of Xyz!"

Following the words of Kaiba and Yugi, the surrounding Joey, Mai, and others also gained a certain understanding of Xyz!

...

GX World

The teachers and students who had been about to search the Duel Academy library for information on Xyz all stopped what they were doing.

Well, then.

There was no need to search anymore. The short video had already shown them everything. This was Xyz! This was the summoning method that surpassed their world of Fusion!

"Whoa, what an interesting summoning method!" Jaden's eyes blinked rapidly. "Xyz Summoning? Does that mean if I use two Level 4 Elemental HEROes to overlay, I can summon a Rank 4 Xyz Monster?!"

His mind was already fantasizing about his own Elemental HEROes. Could it be that there were unknown HERO Xyz monsters he didn't know about?!

"If that's the case," Zane mused, "then Cyber Dragon... hehehe... perhaps it can struggle even more."

Zane naturally saw a glimmer of hope for Cyber Dragon in Xyz Summoning. Similarly, he wanted to use Xyz to further enhance his own Cyber Style!

...

5DS World

Yusei Fudo and the others, who were masters of Synchro, had now also learned a new summoning method through the quick, ten-second Xyz demonstration.

"But still," Yusei murmured to himself, already showing a longing for Xyz, "is adding Xyz to a Synchro deck really effective? My Stardust Dragon... could it also be used for an Xyz Summon?"

Unfortunately, he had never seen an Xyz monster for his own archetype.

"Well," Akiza patted Yusei's shoulder, "that's not important right now. The short video is moving on to the demonstration phase for this Blue-Eyes deck. Let's keep watching!"

After she spoke, everyone's gaze shifted back to the video on the screen.

...

After showing the Xyz cards that could be included, the next part of the short video was a demonstration of several Blue-Eyes combos!

My Bride is Mine: "Alright, alright! Next up are a few standard Blue-Eyes plays! Let's take a quick look!"

My Bride is Mine: "Play 1: Special Summon Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon by revealing a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Normal Summon The White Stone of Ancients, which is a Level 1 Tuner. Then, 8 + 1, Synchro Summon Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon to control the board."

My Bride is Mine: "If you have the powerful in-archetype fusion spell, Ultimate Fusion, in your hand, it's not a bad idea to go for Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, since you can use Dragon Shrine to dump materials into the Graveyard."

My Bride is Mine: "Of course, Play 2: You can use Maiden with Eyes of Blue along with Sage with Eyes of Blue to directly summon two Blue-Eyes White Dragons! With that, you can easily make a Rank 8 play."

My Bride is Mine: "Play 3: You can use The Melody of Awakening Dragon, discard a card to search for one Alternative Dragon and one White Dragon, and then use that to set up your board with Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon."

My Bride is Mine: "In short, a first-turn Spirit Dragon is a safe play, and a second-turn Ultimate Fusion is for breaking boards. It's that simple."

...

This speech, combined with the fast-paced gameplay on screen, left the duelists from the DM, GX, and 5DS worlds in silence. It drove the ZEXAL, ARC-V, and VRAINS worlds into a frenzy.

The first three were shocked silent by the Synchro demonstration, especially Seto Kaiba and the others in the DM world! They were left utterly speechless after watching these plays!

What is The White Stone of Ancients?

What is Ultimate Fusion?

What are Maiden with Eyes of Blue and Sage with Eyes of Blue?

No, seriously, what are all these cards?

Kaiba clutched his head, staring dumbfounded at everything happening on screen. But deep down, he was thrilled. Blue-Eyes White Dragon... is this damn strong!

Yugi and Atem, on the other hand, were stunned by the series of smooth plays. Blue-Eyes White Dragon... could be summoned that easily? And Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon's summoning condition was that simple? Didn't it need two tributes?

The GX world was completely numb. What they cared about wasn't the powerful Blue-Eyes engine, but Synchro! They still didn't quite understand it! How did a Level 1 and a Level 8 monster come together? What was the difference between a Tuner and a non-Tuner?

Could it be... that Synchro Summoning was about addition? To play Synchro... you had to be good at math?!

Professor Crowler, Jaden Yuki, and the others were gradually beginning to understand what Synchro was.

In contrast, the 5DS world was thrown for a loop by this engine that could both Synchro and Xyz. Synchro Summoning with ease was one thing, but you could also Xyz Summon just as easily? Yusei and Jack looked at each other, scratching their heads in confusion. For them, this was still a bit beyond their comprehension. They understood what Synchro and Xyz were, but their brains couldn't quite process how they could work together so seamlessly.

The latter three worlds were silenced by how easily this Blue-Eyes engine could summon a Level 8 monster with 3000 ATK. This Blue-Eyes deck... it was something else!
