As the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
Jaden Yuki's deck, the "HERO" deck, has always been popular in the Dueling world.
Jaden himself, before his time travel, did like HERO decks a lot.
Though their strength had always been a problem.
But as a second-year middle school student, who wouldn't want to be a hero?
Leaving home, Jaden Yuki arrived at a card shop near his house.
After so many years of development.
Card Duel Monsters have become a household name.
Kaiba Corporation's prestige has also spread worldwide.
Now, it's almost a nationwide card game.
Walking into the card shop.
There are all sorts of cards, with prices varying greatly.
As for the cheaper packs.
Although the price is much more affordable than buying individual cards.
But it's like opening blind boxes.
Most people lose money.
Similarly, there are also pre-made decks that can be used directly.
As for strength...that remains to be seen.
Jaden Yuki was a bit conflicted.
Although the system had a way to exchange for cards.
But if you want to exchange for cards, you need Duel Points.
You need to duel to get Duel Points.
But if you want to duel, you need a deck.
So.
I want Duel Points—then just go duel—but I don't have a deck—then use points to exchange for cards—but I don't have Duel Points—then go duel.
It fell into such a vicious cycle.
There was no way.
The first deck could only be assembled by himself.
......
Soon.
Jaden found a pre-made HERO deck in the corner of the store.
Although HERO decks are generally weak.
The cards in the pre-made deck are quite complete.
Plus, the price is affordable.
A 40-card pre-made deck costs only two thousand yen.
At the first glance of the HERO deck.
It seemed like the heroic soul deep within him was burning.
Jaden fell in love with the pre-made Element HERO deck at first sight.
Without hesitation, after buying the pre-made deck.
Jaden sat down at the card table by the door and began to open the box to inspect the goods.
As expected, there's a reason why the deck is cheap.
This 40-card pre-made deck.
It's basically filled with Element HERO blanks like Elemental HERO Stratos.
It also comes with some Element HERO's own magic and traps.
It's called a deck, but it's basically no different from a pile of cards.
The only thing worth the price.
Must be this fusion card that almost everyone had in the GX era, right?
"Without many other HERO additions, Element HERO's would be a bit inadequate for dueling."
"Although I have a burning heroic soul, I'm a card player after all. Winning comes first."
"Hmm..."
Looking at the few bills he had left.
Jaden thought for a moment.
He continued to search the card shop.
Soon.
Jaden found.
The single card price of trap cards in the card shop was actually cheaper.
Especially some of the cards that were extremely "dark" in his era.
In this world, they were cheap to the point of being dirt cheap.
"That's right..."
"If the HERO's strength isn't enough."
"Then you can play 'dark HERO,' can't you!"
Thinking about this.
Jaden immediately invested the rest of his money in this.
After an hour of deck building.
The first generation dark HERO deck, makes its glorious debut!
Jaden drastically improved the original Element HERO structure.
Making the original Element HERO's, which were full of justice, hmm... instantly have a dark HERO vibe.
"It's time to pick a duel opponent and earn some Duel Points."
Jaden turned his attention to the card players around him.
In the duel zone, most were adults.
In the children's zone outside, there were children who looked about Jaden's age.
But Jaden had no intention of bullying kids.
"Hey, you guys over there, want to duel me?"
Jaden Yuki smiled and squeezed into a group of people who were playing cards.
"You?"
Seeing this kid who squeezed in, the few adults looked at each other.
"Hahahaha, kid, are you kidding me?"
"How old are you, wanting to play cards with us? Do you even know the rules?"
"Go home and drink your milk, kid, you're not even fully grown, and you're already in the duel zone?"
"Don't cry to your mommy if you get beaten up later, hahaha."
Suddenly, the sound of laughter rose.
When people gather, there will naturally be more unfriendly card players.
Looking at these adults who were laughing at him.
Jaden Yuki's face looked a bit unpleasant.
He originally wanted to duel with a friendly attitude to test out his deck.
But it seems like he'll have to make them cry.
Without saying a word, he walked past them.
Jaden Yuki sat down in front of the balding man who had laughed the hardest.
Looking at the duel mat already laid out on the table.
Jaden placed his deck on top.
In his pupils, a faint orange light rose.
"So, are you guys brave enough to duel me?"
"Let's duel for cards, how about that?"
