As the card projection of "Destiny Travel" disappeared from the field, the previously face-down banished monster returned to the center Monster Zone in front of You Ye, in the same position as before.
After glancing at the cards he drew this turn, You Ye reached out to the monster card that had just returned from the banished zone.
"Flip Summon — Elemental HERO Clayman."
"Clayman? What a trash monster!"
Seeing the monster's true form revealed through the flip summon, Manjoume sneered in disdain. Although his earlier prediction had been wrong, that didn't stop him from insulting Clayman as a trash monster. And even if he hadn't said it aloud, it was what he truly believed deep down — as long as he didn't say it, who could prove otherwise?
"Clayman is not some trash monster!"
Before the player in question could even respond, Judai — watching the duel from the sidelines — stood up from his seat and shouted in defense of You Ye, who used the same Clayman card as him.
"Hmph!"
With a dismissive snort, Manjoume ignored him completely. Meanwhile, You Ye simply declared the end of his turn.
"Huh? This guy isn't playing any more cards? Then why'd he even flip the monster?"
"Clayman might be considered one of the so-called 'Four Useless Heroes,' but in Defense Position, he still has 2000 DEF — enough that Manjoume's 'Catapult Tiger' can't destroy him. But now, because of the flip summon, he's been switched to face-up Attack Position instead of face-down Defense… I seriously don't get what this red-capped guy is thinking!"
Everyone watching was baffled by You Ye's move — returning a banished monster, flipping it face-up… and then doing nothing else? That was it?
"My turn! Draw!"
Drawing his next card, Manjoume glanced at the illustration, then looked directly at You Ye, whose face was still obscured.
"I don't know what kind of guy you are, but your duel ends here!"
"I activate the Spell Card Pot of Greed to draw two more cards from my Deck… Then I Normal Summon X-Head Cannon in Attack Position!"
After replenishing his hand, Manjoume once again summoned a monster whose name began with a letter — a machine from the "Union" series, just like his earlier V-Tiger Jet. Though X-Head Cannon was technically a Normal Monster, it was still part of the same fusion set.
"Next, I target X-Head Cannon and activate the Spell Card — Fusion Tag!"
The artwork of this card included a military commemorative silver medal, along with Elemental HERO Electrum, showing its link to the Fusion Deck.
"Using Fusion Tag's effect, I reveal the Fusion Monster XYZ-Dragon Cannon from my Extra Deck."
As he spoke, Manjoume took out the Fusion Monster "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" from the Special Card Slot — a section of the Duel Disk opposite the main Deck, which included the Extra Deck and banished zone — and showed it to You Ye.
On the field, after confirming with a nod from You Ye, the targeted X-Head Cannon was slowly enveloped in magical energy and began to transform into the appearance of the revealed Fusion Monster.
"Until the end of this turn, the monster targeted by Fusion Tag — in this case, X-Head Cannon — will have its name treated as XYZ-Dragon Cannon, so long as it's used as Fusion Material."
Glancing at the fully transformed X-Head Cannon, Manjoume continued his turn:
"Now, I banish from the field both the Fusion Monster VW-Tiger Catapult and the renamed X-Head Cannon, which can be treated as XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
The mechanical monsters, all named with English letters and part of the same archetype, rose into the air and began to disassemble themselves.
"Special Summon — VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!"
