Yu-Gi-Oh: The Sacred Cards

Part 2: The Fifth Locator Card

Part 3: The Fifth Locator Card

Welcome back folks! Last time we got our fourth locator card after embarrassing Rex Raptor, so now let's explore a little bit around Clock Town to see if anyone has any information (or locator cards we can acquire).



I mentioned before, but Tristan is always hanging out in front of your house. You can duel him, he's easy as hell and you'll just get money and raise your Duel Capacity. And get a shitty card.



Damn straight, woman!

Again, like I said before, Tea is in the Card Shop. Just wanted to show that she is here. You can challenge her to a duel, but she won't duel you, she'll just say the same shit as if you talked to her.



Alright cool I have 4.



So yeah it turns out you can (and apparently are supposed to?) duel Joey here. He's easy, but the damn elemental weaknesses have started rearing their ugly heads during this battle. He had a Light monster, I attacked with a Fiend, my Fiend was destroyed.





I still won. I don't remember if this card was ever actually made into a real card, but Joey used it a lot in Duelist Kingdom. Except back then it was a trap card. Yeah, if a trap card had a beneficial effect it was probably changed to an equip spell card. See also; Metalmorph.



Joey then runs away while Tea cowers behind the counter at the amazing dueling prowess I have displayed.

Don't worry baby, it's all over now, I won once again so you can now swoon over me



After beating the Ghoul (or Rex, I did them both at the end of the last update so it's one or the other), we unlock the Park area. Let's explore shall we?



Oh god this place is so boring I miss civilization.



However, there is a mime here. The other guy in the area says he's been standing like that for three days now. Talking to him or challenging him to a duel results in the same message.

 I already know why he's here and it will be explained in the next update, so don't bother telling me. 



Ugh, Weevil Underwood. Plus he has bodyguards I will no-doubt have to stomp all over to get to him.



Oh dear, I'll have to clear out my entire schedule to make it through all four of these guys





Dueling these guys has the Forest field condition, which raises the attack of several of my monsters, my Jirai Gumo is bumped up handsomely, as well as any of my Beast-Warriors (Panther Warrior and the boar whose name I forget).



Also I screenshotted an elemental weakness working for me. Notice that instead of the attack/defense points showing up on the cards, it's the elements. Forest beats Wind which doesn't really make sense but whatever.

For beating this guy I got Turtle Raccoon which is terrible.

In the next duel, this happens;


For like 4 turns. Nothing but Summoned Skull and spell cards. On turn two or three I got Swords of Revealing Light, but still.

I got this;


Which looks like something out of Dead Space or Half-Life, but is unfortunately completely useless.



And I'll show you to respect the grab bag of strong shit that is my deck.



Again, I got a cool looking/sounding card that is unfortunately useless.



Yeah sure keep telling yourself that boss





I beat him so fast that to the naked eye it looks like he simply handed me his locator card.

He also handed me this;


In an insect deck this is good, and in my deck it would be pretty good paired with my Jirai Gumos. It's still not going in the deck though.

Now I'll explain where Weevil comes from in the context of the anime! We're first introduced to him at the very beginning of the anime series. Yugi and company are watching him duel Rex Raptor on TV for some national title or whatever, this broadcast was interrupted when Yugi got invited to Duelist Kingdom (and played a Shadow Game against Pegasus through the TV). We see him again on the boat to Duelist Kingdom, where he coerced Yugi into letting him look at the Exodia cards, which he proceeded to throw off the boat. Joey jumped in the water and tried saving them but only got like two. He was then dueled by Yami Yugi who curbstomped him so hard he had to leave Duelist Kingdom. We don't hear from him again until Battle City, when he is Joey's second opponent, using bugs (specifically, Insect Queen and this other card that I actually ran in my deck that I don't remember what it's called Parasite Paracide, he cheated by getting a kid to put it in Joey's deck). Joey eventually beat him using Gearfried the Iron Knight, a level 4 monster with 1800 attack points whose effect says nothing can be equipped to him (the bug thing would turn Joey's monsters into bugs which couldn't move because of some shit or another that Weevil did). After winning Joey got Insect Queen and some locator cards. Weevil was never seen again, it was rumored that he committed suicide after getting his ass whooped so badly by so many people.

At this point I ran around trying to remember what the fuck I was supposed to do, so I dueled Tristan and the guy standing in front of KaibaCorp. I got nothing good out of it (naturally). However, I was able to go inside KaibaCorp to find Mokuba (Seto Kaiba's little brother) and a really easy Duel Machine.



This is Mokuba. In the original manga series he was introduced after Yugi first dueled Seto. After winning that duel, Yami Yugi made Seto play a Shadow Game where he would "experience death" (which was a bunch of monsters attacking him). Mokuba decided to get revenge on Yugi by forcing him to play a game called Capsule Monster Chess, and by rigging the monster dispenser he got all level 4/5 monsters while Yugi was stuck with a bunch of level 1s and 2s. The stipulation was if Yugi lost Mokuba would cut off his pinkies, but if Yami Yugi won there would be some Shadow Game shit that was typical of the manga back then (Yami Yugi was fucking insane back then, it was pretty awesome). Naturally Yami Yugi wins and Mokuba is sealed inside a capsule (IN HIS MIND!! WoOoOoOoOo!!!) as the Shadow Game. He later meets Joey and Yugi at the door when they are going to the Death T, and ends up almost killing Joey with poison and forces Yugi to play a retarded game involving food on a spinny table thing. Yugi manages to win by some fucking ridiculous thought pattern and ends up poisoning Mokuba, getting the antidote, and healing Joey in time for Joey to get locked in a room full of oil with an insane convicted murderer with a chainsaw. Oh yeah and they were handcuffed to each other. Thanks for saving me Yugi! Mokuba comes back in Death T-4 where he plays another game of Capsule Monster Chess against Yugi who again whips his ass, but saves him from "experiencing death" (during the final two rounds the loser would experience the same thing Yami put Kaiba through, only simulated). Mokuba then becomes a total pussy as soon as the Duelist Kingdom story arc starts up and gets his soul stolen by Pegasus to get Kaiba to go duel him (and Kaiba manages to lose and loses his soul too, luckily Yugi saves all of the souls back!).



The machine is really easy but that may just be my godly deck talking.



Fuck you Mokuba


Alright I forgot to screenshot this, but what I was supposed to do was talk to Weevil again. He'll challenge you to a rematch because he can't believe he lost.



I got this thing for winning.



You just don't know when to quit do you?



I think you exhausted all of your good cards when you gave me Insect Queen, just quit now while you're ahead.



Fucking finally. I probably only could have beat your ass seven or eight more times before I started to feel tired.



This is why Kaiba set up the tournament, and why the Ghouls are picking on the people I've already picked on. Well, looks like I'll just have to get those cards first then.







Notice something strange here? This happens in this game a lot. I have like 4 different screenshots like this.

There is a guy one area north of here who when challenged to a duel says he will only duel you if you tell him where Yugi is. Well, Yugi literally lives at his grandpa's card shop, so that's a safe bet on his location.

I beat him and get this:


If his effect kills every monster on the field that's pretty cool but somehow I doubt it's that easy.





Woah, thanks weird afro guy! Have fun attempting to duel Yugi!



Alright, later!


Oh wait shit WHAT BUILDING IS MAI IN FRONT OF OH GOD



Oh god dammit, now he's too depressed to help me. Way to go Yugi

Note: She's not in front of any currently accessible building. I checked.



Join me next time when I actually won't fight Mai! We'll be meeting some more members of the Ghouls and learning more of their secrets (which I already know because god dammit this card game was my life for like 2.5 - 3 years)!

See you guys in Part 4: The plot thickens! (now it's about as viscous as water)
