Yu-Gi-Oh!: A Hero Deck from the Start, the Ultimate Sneaky Player

The boy's name was You Xing. That's right, You Xing, pronounced the same as Yusei Fudo, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, but spelled differently.

Even so, he became famous at school, with people coming to challenge him to card games every other day.

Although their names were very similar, that didn't mean he had Crabhead's skill.

The protagonists in the anime all had more or less absurd plot armor and incredible luck.

They could draw any card they wanted through the power of bonds.

They could even print cards on the spot to pull off a spectacular comeback from certain defeat.

The real-life You Xing had no godlike drawing skills, and when he was losing, he couldn't print cards either. So he lost far more often than he won, and sometimes even got utterly crushed by veteran players...

But for that very reason, his card-playing skills improved immensely through constant practice. He went from an inexperienced beginner to the ultimate sneaky player...
