 Welcome to the battle city shadow lock the rules of this shadow game tournament are simple over the course of the next coming weeks Me and my friend rhyme style will be dueling each other with 12 pre-built decks inspired by the iconic anime characters featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh battle city art each duel will be a best of three format and will be deciding what text we're going to use in each video by Spinning a wheel with all of the characters listed on it the only catch being if you lose the duel with that character They're deleted from your wheel once you're out of characters You've officially lost the shadow lock so who will be left standing at the end of this series I guess we'll just have to find out now And we are back last time as shizu successfully called out Merrick's future and was able to send him into the shadow realm Meaning as shizu gets to stay on my wheel while Merrick finally fades away The evil has finally been defeated on rhyme's wheel rhyme who you got left over there I There's one character. I don't want to spin and I believe that I spent the entirety of this series not getting them yet Honestly, it's a chance is well if you get the guy we both know we're talking about enjoy Wheeler I actually think you're the protagonist. I think you'll just sweep and that would be the most protagonist thing ever anyway Let's go ahead and spin the wheel Joey's deck looks more consistent than you Absolutely I'm loving this I'm loving this one. Yeah, I'm not loving this we we're an powerful foot no way I'm not loving this one, but you are the protagonist. Well, we'll see you in the duel Here we are the duel of fates is here. Oh, I like your card background. Oh, I like my hand Oh, I wish I had other things to play I'll just go ahead and set to face down and do I want to do this. Ah, I don't know if I want to reveal who I am yet I mean, you know why I am so I'll in my turn. I don't want to reveal anything too crazy You know, I don't I don't want you to know I don't want to know I have to play around the bet. Honestly, I have fallen in love with this format I think as you guys are watching these videos You're realizing that I'm just becoming more and more of a fan. What MST? Oh, was it? Oh You're a spiroba And I'll tell you right now you wasting that MST is gonna cost this entire duel Or is it because I too am a spiroba. Yeah, you didn't think that nice nice Espiroba, bro. See the district me and you dotto is Insanely correct. Yeah, I it's pretty bad Me too, bro. I should have known that we were doing the same thing. Thank you for the monster. Thank you for the monster And then I'm gonna go ahead and tribute this. That's me. Yeah, I And I'm gonna go ahead and amplify myself so I can make sure I can work here. Oh brother What just to make sure this is the one time Correct because I know you have change of heart and stuff like that So I'm gonna make sure I kill you as soon as possible. I can't believe it for I can't believe this You and me were literally thinking the exact same thing Only you are dumb enough to go first knowing that you have a spot now makes me I like to make a change of heart and take Jinzo. That means you're tributing it I am for none other than my Jinzo I can't attack but I'll go ahead and end my turn leaving nothing but my Jinzo on the field sadly I don't have an amplifier though This thumbnail is gonna be so funny. I just imagine two asperobus cheating off each other, right? I don't think you're reading that correctly Bro does not know how roof like powder works I mean it doesn't even work like that either to be odd it only does the damage. I don't think it destroys the monster doesn't I know you have Jinzo in a field before embarrassing for me Sucks. I just threw I held up through just now. I'll play reflect down or an attack mode because I know those swords are coming out To be fair though It's not like Jinzo is super important in either matchup because trap cards aren't really big in this matchup except for trap hole I just saw I just saw what you're drawing. I lost. What am I drawing? Am I about to get high? What is this? Oh Yes, I'm quite enjoying this I'm quite enjoying this mesmeric control. That's in case it was a flip monster I don't think we have one of those but just don't have with monsters here I'll end my turn again as I wait for the Light to leave that bad. I can't out to Jinzo's the problem. I think it's up to the GG go next day Oh, man, I open soul crack too, but I was ready for the same I know none of us are ever truly ready for it I'll go ahead and set a monster. We have shadow of eyes. I'm trying to think of everything we have We do have a mirror for us, but again, there's really no reason to be afraid of that. So I guess I will play a little slow I'm not gonna bring out the double Jinzo strat just yet But something to be wary of something to be wary of reflect bounder. Go ahead with yourself. Yes, sir Why why why did you swim? I don't know to be honest. You're right. I guess I should have I had game but bro I'm not a mathematician. I'm a duelist. I don't math. I do bro. Just take my Jinzo I know I'm pretty stupid. Oh, this is I mean you do kill him by reflect bounder. Yeah, no, I Cannot play around that one. That's that's gonna be a you game right there. All right I killed your Jinzo you would just monster before in the back anyways very very true I but I will bring out the double Jinzo strat just cuz it's cool to have two Jinzos one of my favorite monsters in the entire game face up Looking good Jinzo looking good I'm not even gonna lie. Yes, I did. We both have the same strat. I was like, why is he sloping? I'm waiting for him to do this. I like I have to win here But it's just I wish you didn't have Esparova man. I know it's Esparova versus Esparova This is the match and then the worst part is even if you get the amplifier Jinzo combo in a field doesn't matter because it Yes, no, it doesn't trap cars are not that big of a deal. Honestly. I it's just a bad It's honestly. This might be Esparova's works towards matchup ironically. Yeah, Esparova counters Esparova Depending on who it's just literally who draws better and then after that it's pretty hard to beat Let's draw see what we got I'll take it I can work with this too. I have to be pot of greed first and foremost because that's always a good That's it's always a good time. I'm gonna set to nice trap. Well, you got there and shadow and I'm gonna reflect founder the question is Bro is coming up to all sorts of conclusions I think it's smart to do this first and I must set two of these okay, what okay? Well now I'm now it's curious because I think it's big eye It could not be big eye. Oh, wait a minute. I have a this is kind of crazy, isn't it? I'm gonna get crazy. I'm gonna get crazy. Let me change the heart real quick You're a shadow scout. All right. Go ahead bro draw That's fine. I'll take that. Oh, damn. That's what I didn't want to happen. Okay, okay And then I'll just tribute hero shadow scout. He's not it's not like I need that and I don't need the special summon. I guess Why did I forget that you could do that? All right, I am literally I'm literally just a guy bro. I'm just a guy Yeah, I was trying to take that from you but I missed we could actually just build a deck just let's do that reasoning I do have to go six obviously Okay Okay, and of course that was that was a crazy one. So all we did was get rid of ryekeke ref like bounder Don't do this. I'm gonna go ahead and just deal some damage. Yeah Rose is gonna beat me down with an inch of my life. Let's take some damage a little bit of damage We gotta even it out a little bit first Rose just beat me up and then pass. Okay, unfortunately the second Jinzo gets in your hand it might be GG's it could be and I'm going to push for that So let's let's play my reasoning because I definitely drew it as well I've been thinking on it though Well, you don't have Jinzo in your hand so I can save a pick six. Oh that sucks that does suck But I got rid of a trap hole, which is nice. Hey man curiosity. You know how cyber radar works, right? You know why you're supposed to use it for right? No amplifier No, like the board car fire a profile works, too But you pretty much a bear works as well technically actually no Pretty much your barrier will just keep the monster alive this you wouldn't do you switch in targets? I don't think we'll destroy the card. It's it's for snatch deal. I'll tell you right now. It's for snap That's a pretty good one. Yeah, I didn't think of that I'm gonna go ahead and set this your reason why I just know no no, I'm just down. I'm stupid. That was done with me I'm playing pretty bad right now. I don't know why my brain is not working work brain work I'm going to set one and then I'll just reflect down or attack face down. Yeah, I big eye That's scary. That's scary Like I have to go for the kill okay Your face down is going to likely be either big guy or a hero shadow scout ah We're just cheating actually that just went this way change your heart. I'm gonna do this the same strategy did on me flip it Nice marriage control a hero shadow scouts reflect Bounder I'll take it two out of three and then I'm gonna go ahead and borrow your card brain control Oh brother a game Pens can you stop this? Oh, you have a trap. I can trap all I can trap all that okay So one's gone, but I am gonna tackle everything. Oh man. I did not just just barely alive Damn, I did not think really alive in a pass. I draw. I'll change of heart. Oh my god Reflect Vowder. I need a little more damage on board. So please don't be trouble. Anyway If you wouldn't draw a ginger right now to throw it up, I'll change the defense position I change mine. I'll hear a shadow scout a reflect Bounder I'll main phase two and then play mesmeric control that way you want your opponent your opponent. Yeah Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Are you a genius? Are you a little genius? Oh, yeah, that does count. Okay Hello defense mode I just realized all your brain controls are dead now and change your heart That would 100% be game for me trap hole was brutal, man Drop hole was brutal. I just did what you did to me I'll say one card face down and then I'll set another card face down and then I have to end my turn. I We're kind of a weird standstill right now We are in a weird state of the game that Swords of Revealing Light is really weird right now You're kind of weird, bro. I'll go ahead and activate shadow of eyes Oh, that is big I was wondering I could I could really use a Swords of Revealing Light right now like that would really change my world This I hope that you do not draw into Jinzo here. Oh, it doesn't work like that. It's only only if it's in attack mode. Yeah, I did not know that Okay, well still Jinzo. I'll take 1200 damage that way. Oh wait. I have Swords. I sell Swords. You could have waited Um, I will go ahead and use Snatch steel on reflect bounder. I'll just end my turn there and in defense mode as well Interesting the rule. Anyways, my next draw is kind of crazy. What is it? Of course. You're gonna heal me, which is great Yeah, what about second reflect founder? Okay? That's a little annoying. Yeah, and I'm gonna set this to defense mode. Oh, you're playing smart You're playing a little smart here. This is an interesting tool. That's dead. All right I mean, I'm still one Jinzo away But the thing is if you kill my right founder you're kind of screwed and you can't afford brain control anymore I know the brain control thing is pretty brutal Um, let's see here. I know your face now. They're just big eyes and hero shadow scouts wrong That's actually where you miscalculated and lost the duel because you forgot about the most powerful flip monster in the game Giving me change of heart back Oh, I will hero shadow scout though. I have no skills. It's almost I know I know but I have to I This is something I have to do then I played big guy. Yep game here. I don't Which is the I think I've rushed this I was only thinking in one turn though And I think I rushed that extra thousand you gave me was clutch Damn, I shouldn't play it snatch and steal. Oh, maybe I could have drawn a better card. I don't know. I don't know I don't know Surely that's all bait, right? Surely you've been sitting on like mirror for some for that past couple Well, let's let's go for it to what happens. No, I just genuinely okay. I was about to stay out of the probe I was just genuinely impatient. It's one way to play so godlike and then the last couple cents You were like bro because toss it all out my plan was so like Masterfully crafted and then I kind of was too focused on making sure that I'd be able to flip magician of faith without having to attack I was hoping you'd attack into it. No, no, there's no reason I was no reason to it was really smart. It's one one. Oh, there's a thinker one There's a thinker, especially when nobody draws ginzo Thing is ginzo would have gotten you cooked still because you were taking 2400 damage I just I think I just had to be more patient and hope for better defenses But I don't know it looks like you just had the upper hand in that one I think you had it what it's I also another thing I didn't I didn't think about before it was too late for me His brain control life-pointage is huge. If you get under 800 that is worth it. That's almost game It really is bad. Okay Um Yikes, dude, this is uh, no same actually. I have nothing in my hand except for this not even kitty This is uh, if you're gonna witness duel, this is the one for you I I mean, you know, I would say the same to you if not for the fact that you said the same to me So I'm hoping that I actually have like a decent bit here. I'll hero shadow scouting I'll even go ahead and just pop a reason. Honestly, why don't you tell why don't you tell me what it is? I always forget man. I I get too comfortable with us knowing what we have Uh, so I'll just play this in face of defense might be I do that a lot for some reason Damn bro, bro. It's because I'm used to just commentating single player yugioh videos, man That works. I will set one card. I gotta start you. I gotta start doing that But like as a bluff like I gotta start saying that without me. All right Just in case you lied to me that actually is something I draw um I think I don't know what the best move is here. I'm just gonna keep it I'm just gonna keep it simple until sword is gone. There's no reason for me to outplay myself Yeah, same here. I will I will set okay This is I think this is going to be a dual deciding moment by the way Hate I hate to say it. This isn't about to be a dual deciding turn for me So I'll set another monster and then I'm gonna flip hero shadow scout. Let's see if we can get some hits miss That's a miss That's fine. That's I mean, okay. I'll take it And that's a definite. That's a definite miss. Uh, let's try again. Let's try to that's I this is what I'm saying When I got it. Oh, that's awful. What are you doing? Why are you giving me all these balls? Okay, I I you know my reason was just I thought it was the move It's you don't have to do that. That's a thing of swords, bro I forgot about swords the thing is I just felt I felt so comfortable doing that right so I want to go ahead and regeki your field that's Terrible, I forgot we had regeki and I'm going to flip my hero shadow scout. Okay. Can I get some all brother? Great hard to hit Oh Holy crap, they have to hurt. Damn. That was the complete opposite of my hero shadow scouts cyber trap hole But damn day. Also, I'm surprised that counts. Wasn't that a special summon? Oh, you tribute them any summon, but damn God damn it Well, I'm gonna go ahead and punch you 1200. Damn. I'm gonna pass. Damn, man Let's set all of these thoughts not all damn that was I feel like that was a deciding moment of the series I will activate control. Can we talk about the fact that you're That sucks and I do have to just summon my ginger now, which obviously is not good. Oh, that's it. Oh, I have game game That's game. That's game. No, you don't got game, bro. You don't got game I have game my next three cards. My next two draw cards. I hate us, by the way Oh my god That was the worst hero shadow scout I've ever seen. You know what? Let's just do this first. Let's let's take this I was worried about that. Yep. And then I'm going to go ahead and monster reborn my fiend mega cyber back I you have zero chance, by the way. My next two draws will change your heart back to back I'm gonna set this to and I'm gonna just attack and win So even if you if you set a monster, I'm just stealing what changed your heart because it can be face down Oh my god This was literally a decision from god right here. I hate it. Oh, that's heinous heinous Uh, I know you have trap hole, but let's see It's uh, jenzo's on the field doesn't matter. Oh, cool But that actually was crazy. Um, and then I guess we just attack out. I know you have change of heart But we'll see what happens. Not just change of heart, but I have two. All right. Give me give me some monsters I'll take it. It doesn't matter jenzo's in the field. Uh, and change your heart I'm changing heart in both of your cards. Oh my god Yeah, yeah That's crazy. Oh that was nuts. By the way, I wish I didn't tell you about cyber. I guess you would have done it anyways Oh brother give me that give me that Oh brother Jinzo metal reflect and lightning robot cyber attack whatever the brother I played too bad in dual two Oh Can we just talk about the double scouted steal into pot of greed Into right that is that is the craziest set up. That was literally just that was literally just god telling me to hang it up That was just telling me to just leave bro Esparroba has been my goat of the series since day one and unfortunately he's cooked. It's it's over for a little esparroba He's let me know. I never I never bring up the wheel when I do this because I assume we're gonna have a better We're gonna have better graphics, but He's gone. He's dead. That's it for esparroba horrible horrible day in the sun for esparroba
