Ojama Secret Art: Ojama Delta Hurricane!
This move could be called the ultimate secret art of the Ojama Brothers. The three brothers once again met butt-to-butt in their classic comical pose, then spun like fire wheels as they stood up. An irresistible three-colored storm immediately swept across the opponent's half of the field, destroying everything with overwhelming force.
"Tch, these small fry won't break through my Machina defense line!" Kak also responded quickly.
"Open face-down card, Trap Card 'Rider Union'! Select 1 Union monster in your Graveyard and equip it to an equipable monster face-up on your field!"
A card popped out from the Graveyard zone of his Duel Disk.
"I equip 'Machina Peacekeeper' from my Graveyard to 'Machina Fortress' on the field!"
A small, transforming Machina immediately appeared from the Graveyard, like a layer of red armor covering the exterior of the heavy Fortress.
"If 'Machina Fortress' equipped with a Union monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, the 'Machina Peacekeeper' equipped to it can be destroyed instead!"
The three-colored storm swept across the Machina's field, and the equipped Union armor shattered with a crash. But with this protection, the teetering Machina Fortress finally held firm through the storm.
"Heh, it seems small fry are small fry after all," Kak adjusted his glasses. "It seems my countermeasure was superior."
You Xuan didn't speak, only playing another card: "Then I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Avarice,' send monsters other than Effect Monsters from the field to the Graveyard, and draw two cards.
I send 'Ojama Green' to the Graveyard, and draw cards from my Deck."
Following that, he picked up a handful of four cards from his hand.
"I Set four cards on the field. My turn ends."
Kak: "!"
Setting four cards?
Mokuba, knowing that this was a Duelist his brother cared about, was actually quite curious about what You Xuan's Dueling style would be like. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a sudden thought, involuntarily recalling two old acquaintances.
One was Six-Eyes, the sunny boy who always had a smile on his face during the Battle City arc. His image and voice were still vivid, but he had already destroyed himself.
The other, needless to say, was the legend who had long since sealed his cards and retired, a man of the living world who used tactics from the underworld to send people from the underworld back to the underworld, despite them playing cards from the living world.
Mokuba looked at You Xuan again, somewhat strangely.
Could this guy be a Duelist of the same type as Yugi?
That would truly be rare…
"My turn, Draw!" Kak snorted. "No matter what strategy you have, the power of Machina can easily crush it!
I Summon…"
"Don't rush, the Standby Phase isn't over yet," You Xuan snapped his fingers. "Flip face-down card, Trap Card 'Crossbow Unit'!
Tribute 1 monster from your field to destroy 1 card on your opponent's field.
I Tribute 'Ojama Black' to destroy 'Machina Fortress'!"
A giant crossbow appeared on You Xuan's field. Ojama Black grunted as it leaped onto the crossbow. The bow was drawn and fired, and Ojama Black transformed into a human cannonball, comically flipping in mid-air, butt-first, and bursting through Machina Fortress's impenetrable shell with a "thump."
A gaping hole was ripped through the Fortress, and electricity crackled and sparked. In just a moment, the giant Fortress collapsed with a rumble, exploding into a pile of scrap metal.
The animated performance of Ojama Black's effort inexplicably filled Kak with a surge of anger.
"Tch, my Fortress actually went down with that small fry?!"
But it didn't matter. His invincible Machina Fortress could revive from the Graveyard any number of times. As long as he discarded Machine-Type monsters with a total Level of 8 or more from his hand, it could immediately revive.
"Next, I activate another face-down card." You Xuan flipped open another back-row card.
"Trap Card 'Ojama Trio'. Special Summon three 'Ojama Tokens' to your opponent's field, and these Tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon.
Go, Ojama Trio Tokens!"
The yellow, black, and green tokens leaped onto Kak's field. After each taking their positions skillfully, they began to snore, drink tea, and read newspapers, respectively.
Kak frowned again as he watched these three things appear on the field, but still grumbled, "You actually give your opponent free monsters. Is this how Duel Academy teaches you Dueling tactics?"
"Haha, I'm a newcomer, so my Dueling is naturally not very refined." You Xuan smiled. "However, I do have a little idea of my own, I wonder if it's correct. If you, Senior, are willing to instruct me, I'd be incredibly grateful.
Next, I'll activate this face-down card."
He raised his hand and flipped open his last back-row card.
"Continuous Trap - Rivalry of Warlords!"
Kak narrowed his eyes, examining the trap card.
Rivalry of Warlords, what the heck?
"Both players send monsters from their field to the Graveyard until they each control only one monster Type." You Xuan explained with a chuckle. "And as long as this card remains on the field, both players can only have monsters of one Type on the field."
Kak: "?"
He didn't seem to immediately grasp what this meant. He stared at the Continuous Trap, then looked at the three tokens on his field, drinking tea, reading newspapers, and snoring...
Kak: "!!!!!!!!!!"
Na... Nani!?
He could only have monsters of one Type on the field, and now he had the Ojama Brothers occupying his field, and all three Brothers were Beast-Type.
Did that mean he could only Summon Beast-Type monsters from now on?
But he was playing a Machina Deck! What Beast-Type monsters would he even have in his Deck?!
Instantly realizing the outrageousness of this combo, Kak's eyes widened, and his glasses almost fell off his nose.
Mokuba, witnessing You Xuan's Duel firsthand for the first time, also opened his mouth, as if a mouthful of old complaints was stuck in his throat, unable to be spit out.
Ah, this…
Actually, the two cards, "Ojama Trio" and "Rivalry of Warlords," were originally the core of the early Ojama lockdown, the central combo of this archetype. It's just that last time against the Paradox Brothers, You Xuan didn't draw them.
"Rivalry of Warlords" was also an ancient card from that era. Although it is now considered a representative of oppressive underworld tactics with strong lockdown capabilities from a modern Yu-Gi-Oh! perspective, and is still a Limited card, it wasn't immediately popular with players in its early days.
"Only able to control monsters of one Type" is undoubtedly a devastating blow to many modern Decks that mix various Types. Such a single trap card can directly shut down their ability to expand on the field.
But it's important to remember that early Yu-Gi-Oh! was a slow environment. It was normal for both sides to exchange a few turns with only a single monster on the field. In such an environment, "Rivalry of Warlords" was actually considered average even by real-life players for a long time and didn't make much of a splash in the meta.
However, the "Ojama Reactor" build discovered this card and unearthed its potential. The oppressive lockdown of just one such card might not be enough on its own, but what if you also gave the opponent three useless tokens?
"Senior, do you think my strategy is alright?" You Xuan was as polite as ever.
Kak: "…"
He wanted to say, Is this how Duel Academy teaches you to Duel?
But he was momentarily speechless.
"I Set one monster on the field." He said almost through gritted teeth.
"Then I Set one card on the field. My turn ends."
Clearly, his entire Deck consisted of Machine-Type monsters, so his monster summons were essentially sealed. All he could do was Set monsters face-down. But if a face-down monster was flipped, as long as its Type was different from the monsters already on the field, it still had to be sent to the Graveyard due to the effect of "Rivalry of Warlords."
"Then, during the End Phase, I'll activate another face-down card," You Xuan said. "Trap Card 'Bad Reaction to Simochi'! Inflict 500 points of damage to your opponent for each monster on their field!"
This was also one of the main output methods of the early "Ojama Reactor" Deck. "Ojama Trio" leaping onto the opponent's field immediately meant three monsters, guaranteeing 1500 damage.
"You currently have a total of four monsters on your field," You Xuan said. "Therefore, Senior, please accept 2000 points of damage."
The three Ojama Tokens and the Set monster on Kak's field radiated flames, which swept towards Kak. He swayed, his data-rendered body glitching, and streams of data flowed out.
[Kak, LP 4000 → LP 2000]
"Ugh… Rookie," Kak gritted his teeth.
Just at this moment of anger, the Ojama Trio had another animated performance.
Ojama Green: "Oh dear, I feel like we're causing trouble for someone, I'm really sorry."
Ojama Yellow: "But for some reason, I just feel more comfortable here."
Ojama Black: "Zzzzzz… Zzzzzz…"
The animated performance made Kak feel as if he'd taken another heavy blow to the chest, and his vision momentarily blurred.
You fckers!*
"My turn, Draw." You Xuan drew a card, and couldn't help but glance again at the three Ojamas on the opposite side.
He mused that the three Ojama Black, Green, and Yellow cards he bought in the Structure Deck looked unremarkable, but every time they were summoned, these three tokens that jumped onto the opponent's field were incredibly dramatic.
Could it be that the tokens have spirits?
"Then, back to my turn, Draw." You Xuan glanced at his hand, then directly revealed a Spell Card. "Spell Card 'Pot of Greed', I draw two more cards."
After drawing, he immediately played one of them.
"I Normal Summon 'Inaba White Rabbit'!"
[Inaba White Rabbit, ATK 700]
"'Inaba White Rabbit' and 'Ojama Yellow' on my field are both Beast-Type, so 'Inaba White Rabbit' can be Summoned without being restricted by 'Rivalry of Warlords'.
Furthermore, this card can attack your opponent directly."
You Xuan waved his hand.
"'Inaba White Rabbit' attacks directly!"
The red-eyed white rabbit swung its hammer and leaped forward, striking Kak directly on the forehead, making stars appear before Kak's eyes.
[Kak, LP 2000 → LP 1300]
And now, those three tokens actually started to show concern.
Ojama Yellow: "Oh dear, that looks like quite a hard hit. Are you alright?" It then calmly took another bite of snack and sipped its tea.
Ojama Green: The newspaper rustled loudly as it flipped pages. "That sounds painful."
Ojama Black: "Zzzzzz… Zzzzzz…"
Kak's back molars were practically grinding to dust: "You… cough cough… you…"
You Xuan rested his chin on his hand.
Hmm, the effect is even better than I imagined.
After all, in real-life card games, being subjected to this would at most just be disgusted by the opponent's lockdown tactics. But here, not only do you get disgusted by the tactics, but you also get mocked directly by these three in-your-face.
Just by looking at the expression of this fellow, which has already devolved into "face-art," you can feel how outstanding the effect is.
"I Set one card." You Xuan Set another back-row card.
"'Inaba White Rabbit' returns to the owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn it was Summoned."
The white rabbit transformed into a beam of light, turning back into a card and flying back into his hand.
"My turn ends."
