Chapter 619 Duel Auto Chess (Please Subscribe)

As we all know, the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters" is the DM version, which can be divided into different chapters according to the plot development.

So there are chapters such as Duel Kingdom, Duel City... Kaiba Group Competition, Memory of the King, etc.

The Wanbao Edition continues this tradition.

And during production, Gu Miao chose to separate each plot chapter and divide it into several seasons of animation to broadcast separately.

So nominally "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Castle" is the second season of the TV animation, but in fact it is just the "second chapter" of the original first season.

There is an advantage to this.

That is, you don’t have to finish two to three hundred episodes of "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM" before broadcasting it. Instead, you can do a part of it and broadcast a part of it.

In fact.

Including the current "Prince of Tennis", "Detective Conan" and "Dragon Ball", Wanbao Animation has adopted this segmentation method for all "long-form" animation projects.

So here comes the question...

Since it is based on the original animation, the plot that was originally broadcast together is divided into different parts. In which episode is the "dividing line" located?

Let’s take “Yu-Gi-Oh” as an example.

In the original DM animation, there are several obvious plot dividing lines, and the more suitable ones are episodes 46 and 52.

As the animation director of the first season, the chief screenwriter of the second season animation, and the chief producer of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" project, Gu Miao's arrangement for the second season is to start from the 46th episode of the original version.

There is a reason for this.

The reason why "Ryuuji" was chosen to transfer to another school and provoke Yugi and others to start splitting up was mainly to create a big surprise for the audience at the beginning of the second season of the anime!

What surprise?

New game, new way to play!

The original Yuga Ryuuji came to Yugi's class as a mysterious transfer student and started provoking Jonouchi.

There is also a reckless man in the city.

He didn't think about the consequences at all, so he tried to fight Long Er in a duel, but was killed by the other party, and was forced to play like a dog and imitate the barking of Long Er.

After a good friend was bullied in this way, the soul of the Pharaoh who resided in the Millennium Brick resolutely stood up and decided to stand up for Jonouchi.

The duel is about to begin!

But this time, it's not the card duel that everyone imagined. Ryuuji, whose goal has only been the game from beginning to end, proposes a new game method to determine the outcome.

DDM! Duel Dragon Gate Dice!

This is a brand new game with a completely different rule system from the previous "Duel Monsters". If I have to say it, it's a bit like a complicated version of Ludo?

"Duel Dragon Gate Dice..."

Thinking of this name, Gu Miao's expression seemed a little melancholy and regretful.

Say something from your heart.

He actually liked the original Duel Dragon Dice and found it quite interesting. When I was a kid, I copied this game with my friends.

But it's a pity.

The threshold and cost of playing "Dueling Dragon Dice" are too high. When I was a kid, I was very poor. How could I have the spare money to play with so many tricks?

This is not the same as Duel Monsters.

Duel Monsters, you can play happily by buying a few cards. It is not restricted by the venue or props. As long as you have a deck, you can play it anytime and anywhere.

The custom-made dice required for Duel Gantry, including the location and too much luck, have all limited the popularity of this game.

It's okay for rich guys to build a collection for fun, but it's really daunting for poor guys...

Ever since.

When the animation planning was still in the writing stage, Gu Miao thought of modifying and adjusting the gameplay rules to make it more popular and popular.

The question is, how to change it?

The original "Duel Dragon Gate Dice" gameplay is very creative, but to be honest, it is still too restrictive.

Gu Miao had an idea at that time.

Since the gameplay is too restrictive, we should simplify it as much as possible and move closer to social party board games such as Monopoly and Ludo.

This was indeed a train of thought. After all, his definition of "Duel Dragon Gate Dice" at that time was still a social board game, and he didn't think about it in other directions at all.

Until Huang Kun woke him up.

Huang Kun's original words at the time were: "All animations use virtual projection systems and duel boards. Isn't it too wasteful to only use such a high-end technological product to play Ludo and Monopoly?"

Yes!

The virtual projection duel system has come out, and there is also a portable duel disk at the back. This kind of black technology product is really too awkward to use to play Ludo and Monopoly.

Why not take a bigger step?

After Huang Kun's reminder, combined with the wonderful use of "virtual projection" in the animation plot, Gu Miao came up with an idea.

Just change it to auto-chess!

It just so happens that monsters also have a 1-12 star rating, so set the purchase cost of the monster according to the star rating.

As for the problem that auto-chess is generally a multiplayer game and is not suitable for 1v1 duels, Gu Miao also thought of a solution.

There are also supporting characters such as Kyoko, Jonouchi, and the cheerleaders! Just bring them together to play the game, which will make it less monotonous.

Since the open beta of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Frontline", some players have generally complained that the gameplay is too simple and they lose interest after playing a few games.

If an auto-chess mode is added, this game will definitely attract more players and create higher turnover...

The animation is still being broadcast.

Long Er on the screen waved his hand, and four duel platforms suddenly rose around him. The venue was also divided into different square areas according to the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

"Come on, Yugi!"

Ryuuji invited Yugi to fight, and now he had transformed into the form of a pharaoh. Yugi was determined to stand up for his friends and nodded in agreement.

Four dueling stages.

Except for Yugi and Ryuuji, the remaining two duel stages were occupied by Kyoko and a female fan of Ryuuji.

As the duel platform rises, the game officially begins.

"Um?"

As the duel platform slowly rose, a huge screen appeared in front of Yugi and others.

As the owner of the venue, Long Er chuckled and introduced: "This is the screen used in the game. Eight random equipment magic cards will be displayed on it."

"Before starting the game, players can choose one of the equipment magic cards...make your choice, game!"

Not sure why!

Looking at the eight equipment magic cards that appeared on the screen, the game felt tricky and stressful for the first time.

"What? You don't even explain the rules clearly and you just let us choose? This is too shameless..."

"I've chosen!"

Before Kyoko finished speaking, she saw that Yugi had already made her own choice from the eight equipment magic cards, a staff that shone with light.

"Then, let the duel begin!"

When the game made a choice, the remaining seven equipment magic cards on the screen disappeared instantly, and a list of one-star monsters appeared.

"The middle number is the number of gold coins that players can use. By spending gold coins, you can purchase the monsters in the bottom card pool so that they can fight for you."

"Of course, gold coins can also be used to refresh the card pool and buy your favorite monsters. You can also spend gold coins to upgrade to increase the probability of high-star monsters appearing..."

"Please note that gold coins are not unlimited. A small amount of gold coins will be awarded only if you win each round. Players who save 10 gold coins in each round will receive 1 gold coin in interest."

After Longer explained the rules, he bought a monster named [Exchange Frog] from the card pool at the bottom.

Swap Frog appears!

As soon as the exchange frog with 100 attack points and 2000 defense points appeared on the stage, Long Er placed it in the middle of the first row of the field.

"It's my turn, I..."

Just as he was halfway through talking about the game, Long Er saw the [Swap Frog] on the field suddenly light up, and two silver stars appeared above his head. Both his attack power and defense power were greatly increased.

"You cheated!"

"This is not cheating! I just refreshed the card pool and happened to get two identical monster cards, which raised the Swap Frog to two stars..."

Unlike the emotional Kyoko, Yugi saw some clues.

It turns out... buying the same three monster cards can upgrade the monsters to two stars, will their strength be greatly improved?

"Come out, chestnut ball!"

The monster Wang Xiang purchased and summoned was none other than the one-star Chestnut Ball.

Under normal circumstances, Chestnut Ball couldn't beat the rough-skinned and fleshy Swap Frog, let alone Long'er who upgraded the Swap Frog to two stars.

There is no doubt that the game is drained.

After discovering that defeated monsters would not be destroyed and still existed on their own field, and that the previously selected equipment magic cards could also be used by monsters, Yugi had an idea.

But he still doesn't understand the rules.

I originally wanted to do more about Liziqiu, but Longer directly went to the winning streak speed level. He quickly reached level seven and bought [True Red Eyes Black Dragon].

The game is only level five at this time.

As for Kyoko and Ryuuji's female fan, they have only reached level six.

Everyone was unfamiliar with the rules, so Long Er easily gathered the bonds of the "Seven Dragon Clan", and with [True Red Eyes Black Dragon] as the core output position, he severely inundated a wave of Yugi and others' health.

"The power of bondage..."

At this time, his blood volume plummeted, and he was about to lose this duel game. He finally understood a truth.

It's useless to just make a monster powerful. You have to gather the bonds around it and unlock more bonds before this monster can exert its powerful strength.

Unfortunately, he woke up too late.

I didn't know the rules of bonds before, so the monsters on the game field were completely "Pinduoduo" motley crew, and were beaten violently by Long Er's Seven Dragons lineup.

When he suddenly came to his senses, and when he reached level seven and wanted to use the [Black Magician] and unlock the bonds of the five magician clans, he was shocked to find that Long Er already had a "two-star" black magician on the field.

"It's over, game!"

"The black magician you want seems to be here with me? Take your four magicians and go to hell together!"

Long Er smiled wildly, as if he had already won.

Seeing this look of needing a beating, Kyoko, Jonouchi and others gritted their teeth and shouted loudly for Yugi, hoping that he would not give up.

"I can feel it……"

"I will not let down my partner's expectations! Long'er, do you think you have won?"

Wang Xiang regained his composure and then said, "You seem to have forgotten that I haven't purchased any high-cost monsters in the past few rounds."

"What?!"

Long Er glanced at the lineup of the game, and immediately came back to his senses. He was shocked and said: "The number of gold coins you have..."

"It's time to end, Ryuuji!"

The game instantly rose from level seven to level nine. Looking at Long Er, he said in a deep voice: "The last of the five magicians may not be a black magician."

"Could it be... No! This is impossible! With such a low probability, how could you draw this card?"

"Come out, Exodia!"

Wang Xiang's shout shattered Long Er's last fantasy. The twelve-cost [Exodia] appears and activates the "Five Mage" bond and the exclusive "Dark Mage" bond.

The game's lineup takes shape instantly.

Originally, Long Er was hit by two waves of blood, and the game only had 10 LP points left. The blood was locked in an instant, and the hysterical Long Er was taken away in two rounds.

The duel is over and the game is won!
