Yu-Gi-Oh!: Hero Fusion Smashes Through Duel Academy

In the offline finals, You Xing used a HERO Deck packed with back-row traps to take down Sky Striker Ace. Right after winning the championship, he mocked his opponent and got mobbed by the whole crowd in the name of justice.

When he woke up again, he had arrived in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX era, with nothing but his HERO Deck in his pocket and not a cent to his name.

To get something to eat, You Xing had no choice but to enter Sugoroku Muto's card shop tournament. Along the way, he ran into Jaden Yuki, who was rushing to take his entrance exam.

The heroes in other people's decks attack head-on. His heroes hide behind five face-down cards.

Draw spells get negated, special summons get hit by Maxx "C," sending cards to the graveyard gets hit by Called by the Grave, and his trump card turns into a blank card the moment it activates its effect, courtesy of Infinite Impermanence.

From the HERO that locks down the graveyard, to Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer hopping back and forth, to Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon and Rainbow Neos taking over the battlefield, Kaiser, Saiou, Yubel, and Darkness all get to experience the joy of playing a HERO Deck packed with back-row traps.

By the time You Xing finishes his final duel and marries Asuka, he is still using a row of face-down cards to tell everyone: Heroes don't just save the day. They can also leave their opponents with no field to save.
