Neil-sama, it's about time to start.
Right.
My name is Neil, years old.
The person who controls providence.
It began when I was years old.
My parents, scared of how I entertained myself,
gave me something else to play with.
And those were...
Duels.
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
Ultimate Rush!
Here we go, it's my turn! And then it's yours!
Even if I'm interrupted,
I'll cut on through, give it to me!
Who is this turn for? Of course it's for us!
We'll say a lot of things but in the end, it's the best duel!
That's why this dashing rush won't stop
Super fast every day
Because rigid theories are boring
An irregular and unprecedented game
In short, watch out! Don't be so rigid
You, too, watch out! Don't be tied down
That's why - Draw! Draw! Draw! Come on!
Just have some fun!
"It's my road!"
Yeahhhhhhh!!! It's far from enough
I'll create an era with new rules!!
We can't let it end like this
So laugh, cry, take a counterattack, and do a one-sh*t reversal, baby!
Run run run run run run run run
Rush! GO! Rush! (Rush Duel!)
Run run run run run run run run
Rush! GO! Rush! (Rush Duel!)
Let's keep moving!! On our road
Even if we fall seven times, we'll get up seven more
I'll break through my road!
Nanananananana... Rush! GO! Rush!
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
Nanananananana... Rush! GO! Rush!
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
Rush! Rush! GO! Rush!
Title: The Cat in the Garden of Providence
Winning at tournaments of this level was of no surprise to me.
The year old won!
Amazing!
Goha came to scout me.
And...
They gave me this garden.
A vast underground space that encompassed the entire city
the center of it being my haven.
As well as the complete control and regulation of duels around the world.
That was the beginning of my "providence".
What?
Yo.
How are you, Neil-kun?
That's a well done hologram.
As expected from the genius programmer and duelist.
Duels as you know will change.
Huh?
A new King of Duels will be born soon.
King of Duels?
And that "change" he spoke about
were your Rush Duels.
I tried over and over again to completely erase them,
but utterly failed.
My confidence was shattered...
But then I finally found him.
The person who held the key to everything, Otis.
And Oudou Yuuga.
Your honored guests have arrived.
Leave everything to providence.
It won't open.
Looks like we've been shut in.
What's going on?
It's nice to meet you, everyone.
Welcome to the Garden of Providence.
I am Goha Corporation's Saionji Neil.
Eh?!
The person who guided you here was me.
Then, you also led us to Maguro's ship.
Look here.
The original data of the drone you call "Kaizo".
It seems you're not lying.
If you want it back, win against the duelists lurking here in the Garden of Providence.
Only then can you reach me in the central control room, my haven.
Aren't you rather self-important.
However, if you lose times, then I will regard it as a complete and utter defeat,
and delete your duel accounts.
And you will never get them back ever again.
What did you say?!
That can't be!
This bastard...!
I get what you're trying do, as a member of Goha.
But if you really want to erase Rush Duels,
can't you just erase the accounts of anyone who's ever played?
No.
That is not my providence.
Guess that means there won't be any cheating.
You're exactly how I imagined you.
As expected of someone picked by Otis.
Otis?!
You know him?
Well then, have fun in the Garden.
How interesting.
No, it isn't!
That rumored genius programmer at Goha is really just a child?
Don't tell me he's more important than I am?
I didn't agree to this!!
Atachi-san.
Wait up!!
What did he mean when he said our accounts would get deleted?
What an unexpected development...
Meow~
A duelist?!
Meow!
A kitty!
What the...
That's not a cat.
It's just a headpiece.
Nice to meet you, I am Nekoyama Schrödinger, meow.
You're the first duelist?
Who will be dueling against me?
Oh, I will—
I'll do it.
That guy who wants to do a ridiculous thing like permanent account deletion—
I'll pound some manners into him!
Go ahead.
Then, please come this way.
I bid you welco-meow.
Thank nya.
RUSH DUEL: RUSH DUEL!!
My turn, draw.
I summon Blye Eyes White Cat and Red Eyes Black Cat, meow.
Kitty!
A kitty cat deck, huh?
I set three cards face down and end my turn, meow.
You can't b*at dragons with a cat.
My turn, draw!
Here we go!
I summon {\c&HFB&}Palm-Sized Drago, Dragon Bat, and Dragon's Upsetter.
I sacrifice {\c&HFB&}Palm-Sized Drago to tribute summon.
Come, Dark Dragon Knight!
I sacrifice Dragon Bat and Dragon's Upsetter,
to tribute summon!
Chuu Luke: Now,
Chuu Luke: within my galaxy,
Chuu Luke: the seven supernovas
Chuu Luke: gamma-ray burst!
Chuu Luke: Now come on out,
Chuu Luke: Rush Dragon
Chuu Luke: Dragears!
It's here!
I send the top card of my deck to the graveyard
to activate Dragears' effect.
att*ck that Black Kitty!
Trap activate, Lost Cat, meow.
You have to choose your favorite from monsters, spells, and traps, meow.
What?
You send one card from the top of your deck to the graveyard,
and if you guess the type correctly, the att*ck goes through.
If you're wrong, the att*ck is negated,
and you take damage, meow!
Now, what will you pick?
Pick, pick!
I'm worried.
It'll be fine.
Yes, Luke-kun isn't the type to worry.
I... I...
Ehh?!
I'm VERY worried!!
Oho? What's wrong, meow?
Right... I just remembered...
That thing I've been worried about.
When Yuuga becomes the King of Duels,
will he really hand the throne over to me?
Agh, I remembered!!
What am I doing?!
Why am I dueling a cat?!
Where the hell did the old me go?!
What's wrong?
That's not the usual Luke!
What is he worried about?
Meooow.
Not pawsitive yet?
I need to focus on the duel!
I choose monster!
Come!
Too bad, it was a spell card, meow!
Dragears' att*ck is nyagated, and you'll also take damage.
Luke!
Please endure it!
That was quite a hit.
You're pretty good, for a cat.
But, the duel has just begun!
Dark Dragon Knight att*cks Black Kitty!
Once again I activate my trap!
Monster, spell, or trap—what will it be this time?
I should have had the advantage when Dragears att*cked earlier,
but somehow I'm back at square one again.
That's right, meow.
It's said that there are many possibilities that can coexist within this world, meow.
What are you talking about?
You and I,
at the same time,
have the possibility that we can both win and lose this duel.
That's Schrödinger's Cat.
Huh?
Don't be fooled, Luke.
What the hell do you mean by both win and lose?
Unfortunately for you,
I always think about winning!
I knew I couldn't become King after all!!
Bye-bye!
There's no way that'll happen!
I choose monster again!
Nya-ope!
Dark Dragon Knight's att*ck is nyagated and you take points of damage.
I end my turn... meow.
His att*cks were completely blocked!
The kitty's meowssing around with him!
Look!
Luke is so weird and wobbly!
It's my turn, meow! Draw.
I sacrifice both White Kitty and Black Kitty
to tribute summon Odd Eyes Twin-Tail Cat, meow!
I also summon Blye Eyes White Cat and Red Eyes Black Cat.
Luke-kun is still wobbling around...!
I activate the spell card, Cat's Eyes.
You have to guess whether the top card of your deck is a monster, spell, or trap,
and if you're wrong, then all my monsters can direct att*ck.
Huh?!
What?
How dirty!
Luke!
Ugh, why did I...
No, wait, why am I so worried in the first place?!
If this keeps up, then the title King of Duels...
Sayonara~!
This is the first time I've seen Luke-kun so worried about something.
Me too.
Look!
Luke-kun is in danger!
Meooow.
Not yet?
S... Spe—
Spell card?
No, wait! Hang on!
T-Tra—
Trap card?
No!
No, no, no.
Monster!!
Wrong! It's a trap card, meow~
Again!
What is he doing?
Odd Eyes Twin-Tail Cat's effect, Nyanderful Trap, activates!
If I have both Black Cat and White Cat on my field,
I can pick one trap card from my graveyard and add it to my hand.
I set two cards.
Battle!
Thanks to Cat's Eyes,
Red Eyes Black Cat direct att*cks!
Cat punch!
He really put power into that!
Then Blye Eyes White Cat!
Cat kick!
How painful!
Odd Eyes Twin-Tail Cat att*cks!
Yuuga: Paradox Stamp!
It's so one-sided!
His remaining life is just !
There are countless possibilities in this world.
It seems one of them is about to be revealed, meow.
That is, meowr utter defeat!
Turn ennya~
Draw...
I... can't...
Don't tell me, the thing he's worrying about is what happened earlier today?
Luke-kun!
By Luke, do you mean me?
Is the thing you're worrying about the King's Throne?
Wh-What are you talking about?!
I totally wasn't worrying about whether or not I would get the King's Throne!
No way, no way!
I knew it.
Then, just listen to what Yuuga-kun here has to say!
Huh?
About what?
Nngh! I get it.
Yuuga, if you become the K-King of Duels...
Then?
Will...
Will you hand over the King's Throne to me?!
Luke is my friend.
If a friend asks, then of course!!
Of course?!
No way.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
But, anyone can become King.
Countless possibilities exist, you know.
There is a possibility that Luke will become the King!
I could... become King...?
Are you ready yet, meow?
Shut up, cat!
I can see it now, my daor! The vision where I become King!
(TL Note: "daor" is just "road" backwards)
The future King's monster, Dragolite!
I send the top card of my deck to the graveyard
to activate Dragears' effect!
This turn, if this card destroys another monster in battle, it can att*ck twice!
But if he uses that Lost Cat card again...!
The effect damage will be , and then he'll lose the duel!
It won't be the same as last time!
Because now, I have decided that I can become King!
I sacrifice Dragolite and Dark Dragon Knight to tribute summon!
Chuu Luke: Now, within my universe,
Chuu Luke: a hollow opens!
Chuu Luke: Delving through time and space until I reach the daor ahead!
Chuu Luke: Appear before us,
Chuu Luke: Thrust Dragon Bunker Strike!
Thrust Dragon?!
I send the top card of my deck to the graveyard
to activate Bunker Strike's effect.
I draw cards equal to the number of monsters on your field.
Then, I can choose the same amount of cards to return to the top of my deck in any order.
I nyan't believe it!!
This is Bunker Strike's
Chuu Luke: Future Mining!
I first draw cards.
With an observer's future sight, results will be born!
And now, I know exactly what's in my deck.
Up until now, all I did was rely on luck.
But now, I'll grasp my destiny with my own hands!
What did mew say?!
Amazing! Luke-kun's using such intricate strategies!
I don't think he really gets it, though.
That's Luke for you!
Battle! Dragears att*cks the Black Cat!
My daor to becoming King is a one-way street!
When Rush Dragon Dragears destroys a monster in battle,
it can att*ck a second time!
What?!
Dragears, att*ck White Cat!
Thrust Dragon Bunker Strike, att*ck Twin-Tail Cat!
I'll bet on the last possibility, meow!
Lost Cat activate!
It's useless! I'm deciding my own destiny!
Then, pick your card, meow!
Foolish!
I returned my cards to the top of the deck earlier, so the top card is—
The card... uh, the card is...?
The card is...
Don't tell me—
—that he forgot—
—the cards he returned?
That's Luke for you!
The one on top was Dragon's Tenacity, and bottom was Dragonic Slayer?
Wait, no, that's not it... the middle was...?
Nyahaha! How the tables have turned!
No, I won't hesitate anymore! I'll jump headfirst!
It's a monster!!
How about that!
I don't mewlieve it!!
I don't want this kind of destiny, meow!
Bunker Strike,
Chuu Luke: Extermination Rush Charge!
How's that, you cat!
He did it after all.
What a stunning victory!
Luke's daor was a bit different.
Neil-sama, I'm so sorry, meow...!
The kitty!
How could he?!
I don't like this.
Let the future King come up and b*at you already! Duel me!
That's all for today, unfortunately.
Too bad.
Wah, what's going on?!
What's happening?!
Huh?!
Hang on, I—
What's the meaning of this?!
What, no waaay—!
It's getting late. Dueling is all well and good, but go home and do your homework.
He can do this sort of thing?
But, that really was a scary situation.
Don't worry, we'll definitely come out on top.
Luke found his own daor after all.
Of course.
Look!
This is my daor! The star for the King of Duels.
How pretty!
Aaah, don't fall already!!
That's Luke for you!
A towering school building (ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong)
The six Pleiades raining down
If going through tough times or if you lose your way
(Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong)
If you come here, then it'll be alright — your future will shine
And so we keep that light in our chests
It's always
! It's !
If it's learning, then it's !
It's ! It's !
No matter what, we'll always meet at that place
Every day at Goha th Elementary
Double Talk: tip: ko-fi.com/sakaki
It's Yuuga's
and Luke's
monster study corner!
Thrust Dragon Bunker Strike.
It's the card I used to grasp my own destiny.
It lets you return the cards you drew to the top of your deck in any order; a very convenient effect.
But you should also strive to remember your card order.
Take Luke's situation earlier as a word of warning.
That's right, that's right.
Next time:
Sorry, Getta-chan(ce)!
In other words—
Sorry, Getta-chan, Get a Chance!
