the after-school duel part 4

T/N: I tried toning down on Kouga's speech quirks a little. He was starting to sound a little too country, aha. I'm very thankful for all the Yu-Gi-Oh I watched. Really helps with translating this story.


Tetora: U-Urr~mmmm...........?
 
Tetora: So if I don't summon a monster, I'll take direct damage?
 
Tetora: Then I'll bring out this "Red Rusted Soldier"!
 
Tetora: Fufun. The final stretch......... as long as my life points remain, I can't lose, so if I stay alive, I'll have a chance of winning!
 
Kouga: Ah, stupid, that's wrong~! The opponent's deck is combo-focused and his monsters have low attack, plus ya can't attack with a monster you just summoned, yeah?
 
Kouga: Even though their monster has zero attack, thanks to the magic card "Duel"*, the next fight with them will result in a tie.

*T/N: If you're like me, you're going to laugh at this. I swear it's a reference for the "Knights" version of duel.
Kouga: So you'll be sacrificing your allied monster for nothin'! Think ahead!
 
Kouga: Even if you're unarmed, they can't give ya a fatal attack, so first ya gotta do somethin' about that magic card!
 
Kouga: They're tryin' to make time until they gather up all the cards needed for a combo. If you keep going on this battle of attrition, then you'll eventually lose!
 
Kouga: If you send your "Red Rusted Soldier" to the graveyard, ya can check your deck!
 
Kouga: You should focus on that rather than defense first, then revise your strategy and demolish the enemy's combo! Aaahhh damn it, you're so irritating!
 
Tetora: Urgh~. Oogami-senpai, I'm thankful for the advice, but...... please don't shout in my ear, my head's throbbing.
 
Kouga: I can't help it~, I can't stand watching how slow you are. Well, Red Streak's a beginner, so it makes sense~ but........
 
Tetora: You mean me?
 
Tetora: More like, Oogami-senpai, if you're going to talk that boldly, then I'd like for you to show me your skills. Let's switch~?
 
Tetora: Besides, it kind of seems like you've played a lot of "idobato"..........?
 
Kouga: Oh, ya wanna switch? Okay, good......... I'm at a disadvantage because of Red Streak, but, well, this much should make a good handicap ♪
 
Tsukasa: Fufu. Oogami-senpai, was it, you look like you have quite a lot of confidence in your skills.
 
Tsukasa: However. I can already see the path to success, so would you like to stop and start over again?
 
Tsukasa: If this battle becomes anymore lopsided, it wouldn't be a battle anymore, just an execution.
 
Kouga: Well, just wait and see......... I'll play with ya, you brat ♪ 
 
Tsukasa: Scary, scary. Then I'll take you up on your offer ♪
 
Tsukasa: However, I was holding back against Nagumo-kun since he was a beginner.......
 
Tsukasa: So I purposefully threw away a few useful cards and haven't made adequate preparations. So first, let's rearrange my hand.
 
Tsukasa: Draw........ hmmm~, this time wasn't good.
 
Tsukasa: I'll end my turn without doing anything. It's your turn, Oogami-senpai ♪
 
Kouga: Haha ♪  That's a bluff, right, I realized your strategy just by watching from the sidelines.
 
Kouga: Ya ain't holdin' back at all~, you plan on striking after making me lose my guard, right?
 
Tsukasa: .............hm, I wonder ♪
 
Kouga: Fufun. Then it's my turn yeah? Draw!
 
Kouga: Oh, this is still being used........... though the art's different from the past?
 
Tsukasa: (Hm? If it's a card in the beginner deck and its art is different from the past, then.......)
 
Tsukasa: (No, it must be a plan to confuse me into assuming that?)
 
Tsukasa: (It's rude to say this, but I didn't expect for him to know so much, but........?)
 
Kouga: I throw my "Red Rusted Soldier" into the graveyard and check my deck. Using "Future Sight", I draw three cards.
 
Kouga: Good, good, I can make do with these. Turn end ♪
 
Tsukasa: Hmm........ Unfortunately, I won't give you the time to turn things around. I finished my preparations. I'll stop your breathing with this deadly combo!
 
Tsukasa: First, to special summon the "Corrupted Knight"..........
 
Kouga: Ha-ha, stop!
 
Kouga: I thought you'd do that~, before that, I'll use "Bloody Scheme" to cut in and destroy "Round Table"!
 
Tsukasa: Huh.........? Wait, "Bloody Scheme"? Was there such a card in your deck?
 
Tsukasa: D-Did you "cheat"?
 
Tsukasa: When I wasn't paying attention, probably when you were checking your deck....... you secretly added "Bloody Scheme" to your hand, no?
 
Kouga: Haaaaaaahn? Ya tryin' to accuse me, you brat!
 
Kouga: Since this beginner's deck was borrowed from ya..... it means that you built it, right?
 
Kouga: From what cards make up this deck to how exactly you can defend against it, you should already know it all!
 
Kouga: Were ya proud of consecutively winning under such unfair conditions?
 
Kouga: Listen well! The real thrill of card games is exposing your opponent's hand while using all your power to force them into surrendering!
 
Kouga: What you're doing isn't war, but just a game! Nothin' more than drills!
 
Kouga: This is a true card battle, ya should be grateful I'm being so kind to tell ya!
 
Kouga: Look, that combo fell apart, yeah? Now I can summon a monster!
 
Kouga: If ya can't fight back in the next turn, then I'll win! Gyahahaha ☆
 
Tsukasa: I-I won't accept this! Foul play, it's foul play, you should follow the rules and play fair and square!
 
Kouga: Haaaaahn? All I gotta do is win, ya know, even if you follow those rules, it means nothin' if ya lose~!
 
Kouga: Winners are the elites, everyone who loses is trash!
 
Tsukasa: I-I can't accept that! This match doesn't count!
 
Kouga: Haha. If ya have a problem with that, I'll take you on any time?
 
Kouga: I'll bring my own deck next time, so prepare the best deck you can think of!
 
Kouga: You're a rich kid, ain't ya? From what I see, you used a lotta cash to collect those rare cards?
 
Kouga: You can create any deck ya want, I'm jealous~ ♪
 
Kouga: But ya know, that deck that's shinin' from all that cash.........
 
Kouga: It'll feel great smashing it into pieces with my deck, gyahaha ☆
 
Tsukasa: Urrrrrgh........ I'll accept your challenge, Oogami-senpai.
 
Tsukasa: No, Kou-chan the "Wolf Tamer That Howls On A Full Moon"! Let us battle once again on a different day!
 
Tsukasa: I'm burning with excitement, I'll tear you apart in a fair battle!
 
Tsukasa: To be able to meet such a good opponent, perhaps I'm a lucky man after all......... ☆
