The first move is made by Rin.
She uses a Synchro Deck called "Windwitches." Seeing the Windwitches appear and proceed to tune, Kurosaki Shun's last bit of wishful thinking is completely shattered.
No more fantasies; this is definitely not Ruri. The Ruri he remembers would never use such large monsters. Though Windwitches are also cute monsters, ultimately Ruri would stay as she was, unlike Rin who tunes and summons huge monsters.
What is surprising is.
The style of Windwitches bears some resemblance to Ruri's deck.
Windwitches are a special deck that uses Monster Effects to reduce Life Points.
In the first turn, Rin uses the effect of a card to directly shave off 1300 Life Points from her opponent, then ends her turn.
Hmm, this all seems quite normal.
As for her opponent…
The girl from the Marvelous Lightning Team couldn't help but laugh out loud after drawing a card, even self-mockingly saying, "We seem to be the same kind of people, huh."
Rin slightly frowned.
The opponent looked like a Gothic-style gloomy girl, but unexpectedly had quite a fiery personality. When subjected to the Life Point reduction, she didn't act like other duelists Rin had met by saying "How despicable!" "Just want to inflict damage, not fight!"
Then, Rin understood why—
The deck used by the Marvelous Lightning Team is…
Electric!
If Windwitches are characterized by reducing Life Points, then the characteristic of Electric is—direct attacks!
"It truly feels like worthy opponents meeting their match." Watching the duel's progression, Crow couldn't help muttering.
Though he had only taken care of Rin and Yugo for a few months, it was enough time for the two kids to sincerely call him their big brother. Naturally, a person like him who loves kids took some time while caring for them to study their decks as well.
Yugo, although smart and learned, is essentially still an immature kid. His duels are filled with whimsy and relatively absurd tactics; he prefers decks that use "toys." Rin, on the other hand, is like her deck—a person who seems calm and quiet most days, but when taking action, can fight even more fiercely than Yugo. Any time Yugo speaks a little irrationally, dumbly, or too childishly, she would let him know her prowess like a Witch.
The two grew up together, supporting each other, and even shared their learning with Yusei, becoming inseparable.
However, as children who grew up in the Satellite Area, they inevitably developed their own "protective colors." Like Rin, who used to only trust Yugo and a few big brothers, never thought to connect with others through duels; her tactics were focused on reducing Life Points.
Unexpectedly, today, she encountered someone similar, a duelist who doesn't want interaction but prefers direct attacks to the face.
This sparked his concern.
Two withdrawn kids battling, could this… could this work? Wouldn't they become more withdrawn after the duel?
He cares more about the growth of the two girls than the outcome of the duel.
Then, he suddenly thought of another point.
Summarizing experiences and recalling the past, Crow formed a hypothesis.
Is the duel arrangement really random?
Why did Rin precisely encounter just the right opponent?
Not only that—
The more he watched the duel, the stranger it became.
As the duel progressed, Rin and her opponent exchanged dialogues.
The girl using Electric spoke about being bullied in a poor country, how dueling gave her and her companions a way to survive, so they trust no one but their companions and cards.
She also saw the similarity in Rin's duel.
"But, you actually hesitated—"
The girl seemed puzzled: "Why, when you just needed to continue reducing Life Points, why did you hesitate?"
Why indeed?
Ever since Tenjo Hikari appeared in their world, since Serena and Ruri burst into her life, since she had two genuine "sisters" without blood ties, she no longer held that belief.
Perhaps the past experiences bring pain, but they don't mean that no one in the world can be trusted.
As long as you can distinguish them, that's enough.
Although…
Up until now, she only trusts those two girls identical to her and the Tenjo Hikari who once saved her and Yugo's life, but this does indeed change what she always believed.
"If you're unwilling, then it means you don't want to be one of us. In that case, I'll…"
The Lightning girl was a bit angry, and stomped the pedal twice.
"Electric Yellowfin Tuna's effect can only be activated upon delivering battle damage with a direct attack. Release this card and one or more Lv monster cards besides a tuner from your hand or field with face-up representation, then Special Summon one Electric Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck with the same total level."
"I tune Electric Woodpecker with Electric Yellowfin Tuna from my hand!"
"Is it a hand Synchro during battle phase?"
"Wow… being able to tune with direct attacks, this is intriguing…"
"This WRGP is truly fascinating, one sees a new type of Synchro every day."
Before the words had even landed, a brand new dragon with seven heads had already flown out onto the field.
Electric Seven-Headed Dragon, LV 7, Light Attribute, Thunder-Type, ATK 1500.
On the field of the Electric girl, there was initially a Cobra, now the Cobra wraps around the car, while beside the car, the seven-headed dragon roars.
