Watching Yu-Gi-Oh! short videos is making the veteran players lose...

While Alexis and Atticus were lost in their own thoughts, quietly waiting for the explanation of the Red-Eyes combo, the duelists in the ZEXAL World were getting restless. Yuma Tsukumo and Astral weren't concerned with the in-archetype cards at all; they were focused on the Xyz cards included in the Red-Eyes deck!

"They don't seem to be Number cards!" Yuma gritted his teeth, staring at the Xyz cards in the decklist. "Astral, can you tell what those Xyz monsters are?" There weren't a dazzling number of them, but they held an extraordinary attraction for him, an attraction he couldn't quite describe.

"Yuma, I'm not sure either," Astral replied, waving his hand helplessly. "It seems they are not Xyz powers that our world possesses. Let's just wait and see." If he knew, he would have spoken up long ago. As for the others, like Tori and Shark, they were even more clueless. Yuma could only sigh heavily and wait for the subsequent Xyz explanation.

...

VRAINS World

Similarly uninterested in the Red-Eyes main deck but fascinated by the Link monsters, the duelists were discussing the Link inclusions in the Red-Eyes deck. It was certain that there were no in-archetype Red-Eyes Link monsters. So the question was, whose Link monsters was Red-Eyes using?

"Hahaha! I know that Link-1! It looks like it's Revolver's!"

"Huh? You're right! It's Striker Dragon, isn't it? But what's the point of a Red-Eyes deck running that?"

"I don't get it, so I'm not asking. Who knows? The main engine clearly has Red-Eyes Fusion, but it doesn't look like a Fusion deck!"

"Isn't that obvious? The decklist doesn't even have that many Red-Eyes Fusion monsters! It's clearly focused on Link and Xyz!"

The sharp-eyed duelists quickly spotted the Link-1 Striker Dragon in the Red-Eyes Extra Deck. Revolver frowned slightly. What was his status? And what was the status of the person using this Red-Eyes deck? This guy... actually dared to put his Striker Dragon in his deck? Hehehe. I want to see how this 'Red-Daddy YYDS' uses Striker Dragon!

...

ARC-V World, Xyz Dimension

Yuto slowly opened his deep eyes, his gaze fixed on the Phantom Knights cards in the Red-Eyes decklist. After confirming it was them, Yuto's expression grew more solemn. This higher world... also had Phantom Knights? No! Even more than that... it had Phantom Knights cards that were even stronger than his! That Link monster? What was that Phantom Knights-related Link monster?

"Yuto, it seems we underestimated it," Shay Obsidian said with a strange smile, as if filled with disdain for the Red-Eyes archetype. "My Raidraptors... this Red-Eyes deck is running them too. I'm at a loss for words. Does he even know how Raidraptors work?"

Yuto didn't say anything more, just silently watching the Red-Eyes build. Because the explanation of the Fusion monsters had already begun.

...

Main World, the short video plays.

Red-Daddy YYDS: "Hahaha! That's about it for the main deck. Through the duel demonstration later, everyone will get a deep understanding of the role these cards play. Next up are the Fusion cards. To be honest, you don't really use the Red-Eyes Fusions that much. But I still have to mention them, since the three cards each have their own merits. We have to take a look, right? First is this one! Meteor Black Comet Dragon!"

[Card Name: Meteor Black Comet Dragon (Level 8)]

[Attribute: DARK]

[Type: Dragon]

[ATK/DEF: 3500/2000]

"This card's usage rate is pretty decent. Because when it's summoned, it can burn the opponent for half the original ATK of a 'Red-Eyes' Normal monster sent to the Graveyard! Its final word effect can also revive a Normal monster. How should I put it? It's used relatively often, at least more so than the next card! Which is Red-Eyes Slash Dragon!"

[Card Name: Red-Eyes Slash Dragon (Level 7)]

[Attribute: DARK]

[Type: Dragon]

[ATK/DEF: 2800/2400]

"Why do I say that? This card, one, its ATK is weak. Two, it needs to be equipped to gain targeting immunity. Three, it has to attack to equip a card from the Graveyard! In summary, it's too slow. If you summon this on your first turn, what's the use?"

The video blogger's question left many of the old-school duelists completely dumbfounded! Wait? A monster with 2800 ATK... is useless on summon now? Is this for real? Is our worldview about to collapse again?

Red-Daddy YYDS: "Meteor Black Comet Dragon can at least burn on summon, helping to deal with the opponent. As for Slash Dragon, forget it, it's not good enough in this meta! There's one more. Its name is Archfiend Black Skull Dragon!"

[Card Name: Archfiend Black Skull Dragon (Level 9)]

[Attribute: DARK]

[Type: Dragon]

[ATK/DEF: 3200/2500]

"How should I put this one? The battle phase lockdown is decent. But having to attack before it can burn is just too slow! So it's also not recommended. In summary, all three are usable, but if you want the deck to be strong, I don't recommend running all three Fusion monsters. I only recommend running Meteor Black Comet Dragon! As for the other two, unless you're playing for 'soul,' then you can run three of each, I have nothing to say."

"...."

With the final summary of the Fusions complete, the old-school duelists of the first few worlds fell into silence. Three Fusion monsters! And they were all not very useful? Wait! How was this completely different from what they initially thought!

DM World

After hearing the explanation of the Fusion monsters, Joey was petrified. What happened to the Fusion from the deck being amazing? How come it seems to be useless in this Red-Eyes build? And what was absurd was that these three Fusion monsters were being described as worthless! And Meteor Black Comet Dragon was only considered 'a little useful'?

"Yugi? He's... he's not talking nonsense, right?" Joey asked, his soul being questioned. "These three Fusions, which one of them isn't a ridiculously strong card? But he said... they're only 'usable'? Huh? Have I failed to keep up with the dueling world? Are 3500, 2800, and 3200 ATK not good enough anymore?"

The nearby Yugi gave a bitter smile. He had also thought these three Fusion monsters would be the main force. But after hearing the explanation, it seemed their usage rate wasn't particularly high. He was also helpless.

"Joey, you have to trust the short video Mr. Yusei found," Yugi said, comforting him. "Since the Fusions aren't used much, then it must be the Xyz monsters, right? We'll understand if we keep watching." After calming Joey down, Yugi and the Pharaoh continued their discussion.
