Summary
In her apartment in Tokyo, Japan, a young woman is looking for her younger brother, only to discover that he's already left for the card shop. She's not surprised, as the latest set in the Official Card Game is being released today. Indeed, the young Shoma has already made his way to the Satellite Shop, a specialty store for all things Yu-Gi-Oh!. Today is the day that the newest set Rising Rampage is being released, and the store is holding a "Deck Construction" event. He enters, nervous about being around so many people, but starstruck by the holograms projected by the Duel Disks.
At a nearby table, a young Duelist called Strong Jukyu complains to the nearby guide that he doesn't have an opponent. The "guide", whose name tag reads Des, reminds him that she's only a part-timer here, but does concede that there aren't an even number of participants today, so he's been left out. However, Jukyu notices the just-arrived Shoma, and invites him to be his opponent today. Shoma is thrilled to have an opponent, and excitedly accepts. Des tells Shoma that anyone can join the event with the purchase of a Rising Rampage box. Jukyu asks if Shoma even brought any of his own materials to the event today, and Shoma reveals from his backpack not only his own Duel Disk, but multiple Deck boxes worth of cards, leaving Jukyu and Des stunned. Before continuing, Des informs Shoma that he must fill out a form and receive a "Duelist ID" to participate in official events.
Shoma eagerly fills in the form and is given his Duelist ID, calling it the rarest card he's ever had. Jukyu is doubtful, saying that an ID card is hardly that impressive. Shoma explains that he's from out in the countryside, where he usually had to wait a week to get the newest sets, and where there were never many opponents. In fact, it was always just him and his older sister Ageha, until she left for Tokyo three years ago for work. Since then, he's built a number of Decks on his own, but with only himself to play against. However, his sister recently invited him to move in with her in her apartment, located near the Satellite Shop, and he jumped at the opportunity.
With that, the Deck Construction event can begin. Des explains the rules: using the cards found within their Rising Rampage box, participants have 30 minutes to construct a 40-card Deck, using at least 20 Rising Rampage cards. After that, each participant will compete in three single-elimination Duels against other participants. With that, she officially declares the start of the event. Everyone struggles in their own way, whether trying to remember all the new effects, or not finding the cards they want, or just being unsure of what cards to use in general. Des thinks to herself that this is the charm of the "Deck Construction" event: nobody's guaranteed to find the cards they want, so how can they build the best Deck with what they have?
Meanwhile, Shoma is studying the cards he has. He knows the three biggest Deck themes in Rising Rampage are "Marincess", "Simorgh", and "Tenyi". He chooses to build a "Tenyi" Deck with what he has. He visualizes his Deck building process as a conversation he's having with the monsters in the theme. He asks "Warrior Monk of Tenyi" and "Fierce Ogre of Tenyi" their advice on how many of the "Tenyi" Dragons he should include, and they naturally say three of each one. However, Shoma replies that he didn't find three copies of all the monsters. The three are unsure how to proceed, but "Dragon Immortal of Tenyi" points out the obvious solution of finding other cards to support the theme in place of what he's missing. Shoma thinks for a moment, and seems to think of the right cards for the situation. Outside of his fantasies, Des announces that there are only five minutes of Deck construction left. Shoma's Deck is ready, and he rushes to put the cards in sleeves to prevent damaging them.
In a short time, Shoma begins his Duel against Jukyu in the Duel arena. Jukyu takes the first move, and immediately uses his "Simorgh" Deck he built to perform his "God Strong Wind" combo, filling his field with three powerful monsters: "Simorgh, Lord of the Storm", "Darkness Simorgh", and "Mist Valley Apex Avian", using his entire starting hand to do so. Jukyu declares that his victory's in the bag. Shoma rises to the challenge, and Summons the 2500 ATK "Tenyi Dragon Vishudda" by its effect, before using it as Link Material to Summon the 1000 ATK "Warrior Monk of Tenyi". Jukyu is shocked that Shoma would use a high-ATK monster to Summon a low-ATK monster, but Shoma declares that during this turn, he will bring down all of Jukyu's monsters.
Featured Duel: Shoma vs Strong Jukyu
Turn 1: Strong Jukyu
Jukyu's starting hand contains "Simorgh Arrival", "Simorgh, Bird of Endings" and 3 unknown cards.
Note: Jukyu's first turn is not depicted in full during the chapter itself. The following summary is based on official information about his turn presented on the back page of the chapter. In cases where details are unclear, possible explanations are marked in parentheses.
Jukyu activates "Simorgh Arrival", discarding "Simorgh, Bird of Endings" to add two "Simorgh" monsters with different Attributes from his Deck to his hand ("Darkness Simorgh" and either "Simorgh, Lord of the Storm" or "Simorgh, Bird of Beginnings"). He then activates the Field Spell "Elborz, Sacred Peak of Simorgh", then Normal Summons "Simorgh, Bird of Beginnings" (0/1600). Since it was Normal Summoned, Jukyu activates its effect. During this turn, he can conduct an additional Normal Summon of a "Simorgh" monster. He then activates the first effect of "Elborz, Sacred Peak of Simorgh". By revealing a Level 5 or higher WIND Winged Beast monster in his hand, he can Tribute Summon Winged Beast monster for one less Tribute for the rest of the turn. He reveals a monster (either "Simorgh, Lord of the Storm" or "Mist Valley Apex Avian").
Jukyu uses his second Normal Summon to Tribute "Simorgh, Bird of Beginnings" and Tribute Summon "Simorgh, Lord of the Storm" (2900/2000). Since he Tribute Summoned a WIND monster, Jukyu activates the effect of "Darkness Simorgh" in his hand, Special Summoning it (2900/2000) in Attack Position. Since Shoma controls no Spells/Traps, Jukyu activates the effects of both "Simorgh, Bird of Beginnings" and "Simorgh, Bird of Endings" in his GY, Special Summoning both to his field in Defense Position. However, they will both be banished when they leave the field. Jukyu activates the second effect of "Elborz, Sacred Peak of Simorgh". As he controls a WIND Winged Beast monster, he can immediately conduct a Tribute Summon. He Tributes "Simorgh, Bird of Beginnings" to Tribute Summon "Mist Valley Apex Avian" (2700/2000) in Attack Position.
Turn 2: Shoma
Shoma's starting hand contains "Tenyi Wubeng Stance", "Tenyi Dragon Adhara", "Hollow of Dragon Chakra", "Waterfall of Dragon Souls" and "Tenyi Dragon Sthana". He draws "Tenyi Dragon Vishudda". Shoma activates the 1st effect of "Tenyi Dragon Vishudda": If he controls no Effect Monsters, he can Special Summon this card from his hand (1500/2500). Shoma sets "Vishudda" (1 non-Link "Tenyi" monster) in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Warrior Monk of Tenyi" (1000/↓).
Duel continues in the next chapter.

The following cards appeared in this chapter. Cards in italics debuted here.
