When the user of the deck himself didn't know these cards existed, it already proved that this higher world had too many unknowns! These unknowns created a dueling environment far beyond their comprehension!
"Alright, Shay," Yuto said, taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling. "It seems we were too arrogant before. We need to think more and prepare more. This world... is too crazy." Just the short video of the deck was already like this. They couldn't even imagine what other strange and varied short video content would appear later!
...
ZEXAL World
The Rank 13 Rising Rebellion Falcon had also silenced Yuma, Astral, Shark, and the other Xyz duelists. Rank 13? There was actually a Rank 13 Xyz monster?! Huh? This wasn't a joke, right! Yuma frantically rubbed his eyes, afraid he had seen something wrong! In his world, Rank 12 was already the limit! But now, a Rank 13 Xyz monster had appeared! Wasn't this just rubbing his worldview into the ground?
"Rank 13... it's not impossible," Astral said with a thoughtful expression. "Yuma, don't be surprised. I only know that in my memory, Rank 13 does exist. It's just that I don't know what other cards there are." His words also proved the existence of Rank 13!
"Rank 13? Hahaha!" Kite Tenjo laughed. "Interesting, interesting! It seems I, the Number Hunter, have to change my prey? The Number cards... they don't seem to be as strong as this Rank 13!" Kite narrowed his eyes, looking at Rising Rebellion Falcon, also contemplating something.
...
The explanation of a few Xyz cards had already sent shockwaves through the six duel worlds! And this... was just the beginning! Soon, the video blogger Red-Daddy YYDS's voice rang out again!
Red-Daddy YYDS: "You think that's it? No, no, no! Actually, the non-archetypal cards are much more useful than the in-archetype ones. For example, in the Link department, we basically use other archetypes' cards to make our plays. For example, this card! It uses the Dragunity archetype's Link monster! Its name is Dragunity Knight - Romulus!"
[Card Name: Dragunity Knight - Romulus (Link-2)]
[Attribute: WIND]
[Type: Dragon]
[ATK: 1200]
[Link Arrows: [↙][↘]]
[Effect: 2 Dragon and/or Winged Beast monsters (but not Tokens)]
[You can only use the ① and ② effects of this card's name once per turn.]
[①: If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 "Dragunity" Spell/Trap or 1 "Dragon Ravine" from your Deck to your hand.]
[②: If a Dragon monster(s) is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck to a zone this card points to: You can Special Summon 1 Dragon or Winged Beast monster from your hand in Defense Position, but its effects are negated, also it cannot be used as Link Material.]
Dragunity? What archetype was that? The non-archetypal inclusions in Red-Eyes were really all over the place! First Raidraptors! Now Dragunity! And after reading the effect, they more or less understood this card's main purpose. A powerful effect that searched for the in-archetype Field Spell, Dragon Ravine. That is to say, the role of this card in a Red-Eyes deck was probably just as a searcher!
Red-Daddy YYDS: "After seeing this card, I think everyone understands. We run it mainly for the Dragon Ravine search. Of course, this card is a key card in the Dragunity archetype. So it's not hard to see that some things are more interesting when used as a small engine! The combo of these two cards can be used as a small engine. So, besides this card, what else? This involves another Link-1 monster! Striker Dragon!!!"
[Card Name: Striker Dragon (Link-1)]
[Attribute: DARK]
[Type: Dragon]
[ATK: 1000]
[Link Arrow: [←]]
After seeing this Link-1 monster, some of the old-school duelists were once again confused! This card's effect had nothing to do with Red-Eyes! One effect searched for Boot Sector Launch! The other effect involved Rokkets! And in the entire build, they were sure they hadn't seen any Boot Sector Launch or Rokkets! This made them even more perplexed! Running these two Link monsters... could it really bring a significant boost to the Red-Eyes deck? Weren't they making a mistake?
...
VRAINS World
After seeing this card, Revolver, the Rokket user, fell into deep thought. He had originally thought that there must be a purpose for running Striker Dragon in Red-Eyes. But now it seemed that it couldn't play much of a role at all! What was going on?
"Strange, the inclusion of these two Link monsters makes me even more confused," even the usually smart and calm Yusaku frowned at this point. "If it was the previous Raidraptors, I might still be able to understand. After all, Red-Eyes is Rank 7, so it can make Raidraptors! And if it's destroyed, it can bring out a Rank 13 ace! The Dragunity one I can also understand, it searches for a Field Spell. But this Striker Dragon is?" The previous archetypes, he could more or less see the connection, or know the combo. But when it came to these Link cards, why did it seem more and more abstract?
"Perhaps they just added it in for fun," Revolver sneered, attributing the inclusion to a matter of preference. "After all, my Rokkets are always popular among players." Otherwise, he really didn't know the purpose of running Striker Dragon.
