Chapter 7. Blue-Eyes White Dragon Operations Walkthrough! The Whole World Is Baffled!
After the short video in the Duel Monsters world showed Blue-Eyes White Dragon performing a Rank 8 "Galaxy-Eyes" Xyz showcase, the Duel Monsters world fell silent.
Seto Kaiba drew a deep breath and could not calm the shock in his heart for a long time.
This so-called Xyz is a brand-new Summoning method.
It brought him a powerful enough jolt.
"So this is the power of Blue-Eyes White Dragon that surpasses Fusion in the Extra Deck?"
"So that's how it works?"
"Then, what exactly is Synchro?"
Seto Kaiba muttered to himself, yet in his mind he kept replaying the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons being overlaid in the short video.
Even though it was only a few dozen seconds, it had already given Seto Kaiba a certain understanding of Xyz.
"Hiss!"
"What a simple Summoning method and condition!"
"But to activate an effect you have to detach the materials attached beneath the card!"
"Looks like the number of activations is quite limited!"
"This, too, is a characteristic of Xyz!"
Yugi Muto and the Pharaoh within him quickly summed up one of Xyz's traits after watching.
Amid the words of Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto, the surrounding Joey Wheeler, Mai Valentine, and the others also gained a certain understanding of Xyz.
…
GX world.
The teachers and students who had planned to search Duel Academy's library for any description of Xyz all stopped what they were doing.
No need to search anymore.
The short video had already shown them.
This is Xyz.
This is the Summoning method that surpasses their Fusion-centric world.
"Hiss, what an interesting Summoning method!"
"Xyz Summon, huh?"
"Then if I use two Level 4 Elemental HERO monsters to overlay, can I also make a Rank 4 Xyz Monster?"
Jaden Yuki blinked.
In his heart he was already imagining his Elemental HEROes.
Do they also have HERO overlays and Xyz that he doesn't yet know about?
"If that's the case, then Cyber Dragon…"
"Heh heh heh."
"Perhaps it can struggle a bit more."
Zane Truesdale naturally also caught a glimmer of hope for Cyber Dragon from Xyz.
Likewise, he wanted to use Xyz to further elevate his own Cyber-style.
...
5D's world.
Yusei Fudo and the others, who were proficient in and understood Synchro, also learned a brand-new Summoning method through the ten-plus-second rapid overlay shown in the short video.
"Although, however, is it really good to add Xyz into Synchro?"
"My Synchro ace, Stardust, seems like it could also Xyz?"
Yusei Fudo's mutterings revealed his yearning for Xyz.
The pity was that he had not yet seen the so-called Xyz that belonged to his own system.
"Well."
"None of that matters."
"The short video has already entered the showcase segment for this Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck's system."
"Let's keep watching."
Akiza Izinski patted Yusei Fudo on the shoulder.
After speaking, everyone's gaze then shifted to the video on the screen.
...…
After finishing the part about what Xyz cards could be included, the next images played by the short video were demonstrations of several Blue-Eyes White Dragon combos.
The Bride Is Mine: "Come, come, come! Next up are a few standard Blue-Eyes White Dragon operations! Let's take a quick look!"
The Bride Is Mine: "Operation 1: Reveal Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Special Summon Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon. Normal Summon The White Stone of Ancients (Level 1 Tuner), then—"
"Next, use a Level 8 plus a Level 1 to Synchro Summon Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon to the field."
"The Bride Is Mine: If you have the in-archetype Fusion Spell Ultimate Fusion in hand, you can also bring out Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, since Dragon Shrine can load the Graveyard."
"The Bride Is Mine: Line 2—use Maiden with Eyes of Blue together with Sage with Eyes of Blue to bring out two Blue-Eyes White Dragons directly."
"The Bride Is Mine: That way, you can effortlessly make a Rank 8 board."
"The Bride Is Mine: Line 3—use The Melody of Awakening Dragon to discard a card and search 1 Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon and 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then pair it with Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon to set up the field."
"The Bride Is Mine: In short, first turn you make Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon for a safe board; going second, use Ultimate Fusion to break boards. Simple as that."
....
With those words, the quick operations shown in the short video play out.
Duelists of the Duel Monsters world, GX world, and 5D's world fall into silence.
The ZEXAL world, ARC-V world, and VRAINS world go wild.
The first three are stunned and silent by the display of Synchro Summoning.
Especially Seto Kaiba and the others in the Duel Monsters world.
After this string of plays, they are left speechless in shock.
"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—what are all these cards?"
Seto Kaiba clutches his head, staring dumbfounded at everything happening on screen.
But inside, he is thrilled.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon is so strong.
Yugi Muto—and Pharaoh Atem within him—are blindsided by this series of silky-smooth plays.
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon comes out this easily?"
"Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon's Summoning condition is that simple?"
"Didn't it require two Tributes?"
In the GX world, they are completely numb.
What they care about is not the powerful Blue-Eyes lineup.
It is Synchro Summoning, which they still do not quite understand.
"How do a Level 1 and a Level 8 just make it?"
"What is the difference between a Tuner monster and a non-Tuner?"
"Is Synchro really about adding Levels?"
"If you are going to play Synchro, do you have to be good at math?"
Dr. Vellian Crowler, Jaden Yuki, and the others gradually realize what Synchro actually is.
Meanwhile, the 5D's world is thrown for a loop by this build that can both Xyz Summon and Synchro Summon.
It is one thing to Synchro Summon with ease, but you can Xyz Summon just as easily?
Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas glance at each other, scratching their heads.
To them, this still stretches comprehension a bit.
They know what Synchro is and what Xyz is, but their minds just cannot quite keep up.
The latter three worlds fall silent, stunned that this Blue-Eyes engine brings out a Level 8, 3000 ATK ace monster so easily.
This Blue-Eyes White Dragon build has something.
