Chapter 27: Understanding the Construction of Animation Features

【Genichiro Onitsuka, LP 0】

The final attack took away all his remaining health, and in this dark duel he had initiated, it also represented the end of the duelist's true life.

At this moment he couldn't even feel the pain from the impact of the dark duel.

Because he had begun to lose all consciousness of his body.

In the duel just now, he made a lot of bold statements, saying that being caught by him would be the other party's lifelong misfortune.

Now let's see whose misfortune it is.
This young man is very strong, but he gives a different feeling from the strong men he has met before.

How to say it, it's like
It seemed that the duel in his eyes was completely different from what the rest of them understood.

This was also the first time in Xuanyilang's history that he had such a thought after playing cards with someone -

——Duel is so difficult
After being defeated, Xuanyilang fell to the ground, and then his body was covered by a layer of golden light, and then he dispersed into light spots and disappeared.

Just like the person who lost the game and died in the GX Another Dimension arc.

You Xuan took a breath of cold air.

My goodness, the dark duel is really dangerous. If you lose, even your ashes will be scattered. It's too scary
Fortunately, he is more skilled.

However, in his opinion, this person's language level is not even at the entry level. How can he be a dark duelist with such a low level? It's a miracle that he can survive until now after betting on the fate card.
wrong.

You Xuan realized that he still had the thinking habits from his previous life.

You can't think like that. In this world, duelists' strength and lucky draws are more important. As for the K language that interprets the card text, it may just be a decoration.
Well, it turns out that this is still a dangerous world. We can’t relax at all.

The key is to collect more powerful cards and improve your strength.

For example, start from what is in front of you.

You Xuan walked forward, bent down and picked up the duel disk that Xuan Yilang, who had died, had dropped on the ground.

Since the people are gone, the deck naturally becomes ownerless.

So You Xuan said solemnly: "It's a good duel. Just go with peace of mind, buddy. Your deck and your will will be inherited by me."

As he said this, he put the deck of cards in his pocket.

When I was leaving, I seemed to feel a chill on my back, as if a gust of cold wind was blowing.

The next morning.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor of the room. You Xuan opened his heavy eyelids drowsily, trying to focus his blurry vision.

I think I saw a girl?
With his silver hair flying, one hand holding a staff and the other hand covering his mouth, half of his body in spirit form had penetrated into the body of him lying on the bed. He was peeking secretly with bright eyes, as if looking at him.

However, just as he opened his eyes, a "!" seemed to appear above the girl's head. She suddenly turned around and went back into the deck on the duel disk leaning against the table, without making any movement.

You Xuan: “.”

After last night's ordeal and the master and servant's first cooperation, You Xuan realized that the silent girl was not intentionally targeting or denying him as her master, she was simply "silent".

In other words, autism.

Well, as the saying goes, like master, like servant. It seems reasonable that the elf, an autistic player, is also an autistic.

Anyway, she did help in the encounter last night. It is indeed too dangerous to go out in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh without a magic weapon or a Pokémon.

And he wasn't sure if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that when he was betting on the life card yesterday, there was a Silent Magician in the deck, and it seemed that something was indeed different from the previous duel.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe clearly. But it was like touching one's own deck, and every time a card was drawn, one could vaguely feel a certain rhythm.

It was as if before this, his deck was just like the duel disk, just a tool for dueling.

But in that game, he had the illusion for the first time that "the deck seemed to come alive".

Of course, this feels very metaphysical, and we cannot rule out the possibility that we are just overthinking it.

"No matter what, we still have to become stronger."

The sudden encounter with the life-gambling cards made You Xuan once again realize the importance of playing cards well in this world. This is more reliable than carrying an arsenal on his back when going out.

And as he reviewed the recent series of battles, he also gained some new understandings.

When looking at the card decks of many anime characters from the perspective of a card player, one is often amazed. How do they make such a system work?
But if we build on the strength of some seafood players who "never get stuck in any system", and then look at their decks, we will find a similar feature. That is, they are filled with things that are meaningless (crossed out)
That is, they have a solution in their deck for almost any situation.

Real-life card decks generally pursue stability and efficiency, but even the most mainstream ones will occasionally encounter a situation where "the entire deck can't get through."

When facing a certain field or a certain situation, you know clearly that all the cards in your deck, no matter which one you pick, will not be able to pass that field.

This situation may be very rare, and even if it happens occasionally, you can just surrender and forget it, which will not affect the status of a mainstream deck. But it is different in this world.

There is only one round of the Dark Duel. If you win, you live, and if you lose, you die. There is no chance to surrender and try again.

Therefore, some decks that seem to be filled with meaningless things actually achieve the idea of ​​"there is almost no field that cannot be passed".

Similarly, in reality, deck building generally aims to have 40 cards as the top limit, and being as concise as possible can minimize the chance of getting stuck and improve operational efficiency. But in this world, 60 cards is the norm. No, it even seems that the upper limit of deck building in this world may be more than 60 cards.

Because the more cards there are, the more possibilities there are.

But all of this is based on the premise that "it will never get stuck".

Therefore, only top duelists are capable of mastering such a system, and even mixing four or five completely different axes into a deck like Yugi and Kaiba, and yet they play without any lag, giving people the feeling that they are dueling with others with four or five independent decks at the same time.

It is possible to draw a card that is not in the deck when you really have no tricks.
However, ordinary people who don't have the ability to blindly imitate the construction and tactics of these top guys, everyone starts with a deck of 60 cards, and naturally they will become worse and worse as they learn more, thus forming a strange environment where the polarization between masters and the bottom is becoming more and more serious.

So You Xuan felt that he had realized something again.

Although the underworld is very powerful, it can't go far in this world by relying on the underworld alone. At this stage, the opponents can be dealt with by just building, but in the future, we still have to expand more diverse styles and tactics on this basis.

Deck construction is also very important, and the God Draw bond is also very important. You have to grasp both and both hands must be strong.

In addition to making Youxuan realize that the deck environment in the anime is different, the recent card playing has also made him discover that there are many other aspects that are different from what he is familiar with.

I didn't realize it when I watched the anime before, but now that I'm playing cards myself, I realize that, just like in the anime, the duelists here will never actively give you a chance to chain after activating a certain effect.

If you follow the rules that You Xuan was familiar with in his previous life, you often need to give your opponent some time after you activate an effect, asking if they have a chain. After all the cards in a chain are activated, the effects will be settled in order.

Unless the other party says "quick move without pitfall" or "GKD", you can tell stories happily without restraint.

But that didn't happen here. Whether it was in the anime or the duelists Yugen encountered in person, they would immediately start calculating their own effects after activating them, without any awareness of this.

But he soon discovered that this didn't really matter, because the rules for chain timing in a duel weren't that strict. Even if the opponent had already started to resolve the effect of the current card, it wouldn't block the timing of your chain activation, and you could still interrupt the opponent's operation and follow up with your own effect.

This is only natural. Otherwise, wouldn't it be that whoever moves his mouth fast enough can block the time point and prevent the opponent from playing a card?

And this is not because the rules of anime were imperfect in the early days. Even in the later animations that have already followed the real card rules, it is still the same.

From the perspective of animation production, we can only speculate that the production team may have decided that the dramatic effect of the animation performance is more important than strictly following the rules. Because if everyone strictly follows the rules to activate all cards and then settle them one by one, it may affect the performance effect of some reversal designs.

Although such an operation is not legal from a practical point of view, generally speaking, even in animations it is just a performance effect and generally does not have any impact on the situation.

Last night, You Xuan discovered that playing cards is indeed a physical activity. The physical education teacher of the Duel Academy emphasized that you can't play cards well without a good body. You Xuan thought it was a bit funny at the time, but now he has begun to understand the meaning.

Especially last night's game of cards was really tiring. I didn't feel it while playing the game, but after I came back I felt my body was drained. I didn't want to think about anything and just wanted to fall asleep.

I felt refreshed when I woke up, and my brain was back online and working again.

The victory yesterday was quite rewarding. After all, Xuan Yilang was a dark duelist who fought on the tip of a knife, and the deck looked quite valuable. You Xuan estimated that some cards could be sold at a good price in the market even if he didn't use them, so he could just sell them and exchange them for what he wanted.

The most important thing is undoubtedly the animated version of the "Life-threatening Treasure Note".

The artifact that can draw five cards instantly has the funny side effect of "discarding cards after five turns", which seems to be taunting the opponent. The Greedy Angel and the like are instantly reduced to scum.

It's a pity that there's only one. You Xuan even thought it would be a wonderful thing if this thing could also be full of three.
He was also fascinated by the other two treasures from the DM period, which were known as the three great treasures together with the life-destroying treasure, the "Treasure of Destiny" and the "Treasure of Heaven".

The Fate Treasure Card belongs to Jonouchi. Basically, you roll a dice, draw a number of cards according to the number you roll, and then remove the number of cards you drew from the top of the deck from the game. It is also a god-like card, but no one in the anime has used it except Jonouchi, and it has become extinct in the GX era.

The Treasure Cards from Heaven are from the game. Both parties draw six cards in their hands, which is a super-killing weapon. This card has been used by many people in DM besides games. It is considered a general-purpose card and has also appeared in the GX era. However, Youxuan has not yet been seen on the market.

DM Baozha three artifacts, I want them all.
And now the biggest hope is the prosperous road called "Duel Academy".

It is rumored that once you enter the academy, you will experience a completely different world. There are a large number of rare cards that ordinary duelists can't even imagine. It is rumored that this is an in-app purchase method that has everything.
It's already here.

Just three days later, the annual Duel Academy admissions examination will be held at Seahorse Park.

It must be won.
