The world as we know it isn’t the world around us. There are awesome creatures living in five mysterious civilizations, realms of Nature, Fire, Water, Light, and Darkness. They can be brought into our world through an incredible card game – Duel Masters! Though many kids and adults play this game, only the best can call forth these creatures. They are known asKaijudo Masters. This is the story of one junior duelist, or Senpai, unique among all others. His name is Shobu Kirafuda. During the final match of the tournament, Shobu’s luck seemed at an end. He had easily beaten all his previous opponents. However, the current champion, Joe Saiongi, blocked all of his attacks. He had even destroyed two of Shobu’s shields. Shobu ran a hand through his spiky hair. He could see why this guy was the champ. Joe seemed to have the perfect deck for this battle and he knew how to use it.

Shobu glanced at the front row of the arena. As always, his friends were there to root for him – Rekuta Kadoko and Sayuki Manaka. He could hear their cheers over the rest of the crowd.

Rekuta jumped to his feet, almost losing his glasses. “Go Shobu!” he yelled.

“You can beat him!” Sayuki cheered, her hands tightly clasped together.

Shobu smiled and turned his attention back to the game.

“This is Gran Gure with 9000 power!,” Joe announced, as he drew a card from his deck. “It’s capable of blocking any attack.” He tossed the card onto the battle zone. “See how you like it, slinger.”

“It’s not over yet,” Shobu said confidently.

Near the back row of the large arena, a man in dark sunglasses watched the match with great interest. “Let’s see if Shori’s son has the gift,” he muttered to himself.

Back on the main floor, things seemed to be going worse for Shobu. He was now down to two shields. Shobu didn’t seem nervous, though.

Joe reaches for a card on the battle zone.”Say Hello to Hanusa, Radiance Elemental!” Joe turned the card sideways, called tapping. When tapped, the card attacked one of Shobu’s remaining shields. “Ike! Attack!” Shobu simply smiled. “Oh Joe?” He turned over the shield card.

“What?” Joe growled.

“I activate a shield trigger!” Shobu replied. “Tornado Flame!” As Shobu placed the card onto the battle zone, a gust of wind blew Joe’s card off the table. It was almost as if Shobu had summoned a real tornado. “Ah, you’re just wasting time, slinger,” said Joe. “You’ll be finished on my next turn!”

Joe attacked with two of his creatures, sending two of Shobu’s cards into the graveyard. Shobu wasn’t fazed. Instead, he raised his hand, ready to draw another card.

From the back of the arena, the man in dark sunglasses noticed something interesting – Shobu’s hand glowed fiery red. The man was very surprised. Usually, only Kaijudo Masters could do something like that.

Shobu surprised everyone again when he whipped his glowing hand over his deck of cards. “Ya!” cried Shobu The top card flew into the air, and then tumbled down to land in his open hand. Without looking, Shobu knew which card he’d drawn. “I summon Bolshack Dragon!”

“No!” yelled Joe.

“I cant believe it,” Rekuta told Sayuki. “He may actually win the tournament!”

“This Bolshack Dragon is a double-breaker with a power of 6000-plus!” said Shobu. He placed the card into the battle zone. “And on top of that, I’m going to use Burning Power to power up Nomad Hero Gigio.” He placed a card onto another one. “This will not only destroy the rest of your shields, it will destroy the creature you were thinking of summoning!”

Sweat poured down Joe’s face as he drew another card. “Shoot,” he said in disgust. “This card won’t do anything!”

“This is it!” yelled Rekuta. “This is the final play!”

“Come on Shobu,” Sayuki cheered. “You can do it!”

Joe selected another card from his hand and placed it into the battle zone. “This one is capable of blocking any attack,” he said with a cackle.

“I summon the power of Scarlet Skyterror,” Shobu said as he tapped one of the cards in the battle zone. “This will send all your blockers to the graveyard. Ike!” “What?” Joe asked.

Shobu reached down and tapped the last card of the match. “Bolshack Dragon!” he yelled. “Finish it! Todome da!” Joe beat the table with his fists. “Aaaaah!” he screamed.

“Shobu won the tournament!” shouted Sayuki. “He’s the new champion!” Rekuta thrust his fist in the air. “Own it! Own it! Own it!”
