"Ken-chan!!" is the seventeenth chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga.
This chapter was first printed in the 6/2012 issue of V Jump, released on April 21, 2012.
Yuma continues his Duel against Cologne. Yet, she Summons her "Number", putting Yuma in a corner! In the middle of that desperate situation, Yuma learns about Cologne's past.
Summary
Yuma Summons "Number 50: Black Corn", but at that time, Cologne says that she will show the power of "Ken-chan". She activates "Quick Xyz", overlaying her monsters to Xyz Summon "Number 22: Fran Ken". Surprised with its 4500 ATK, Yuma activates the effect of "Black Corn" in order to destroy it, but the effect of "Fran Ken" negates the effect of "Black Corn", and makes itself attack "Black Corn" during Yuma's turn. Besides this fearful combination of ATK power and effect negating of "Fran Ken", Cologne also plays Spell Cards to break into Yuma's defenses. Astral recognizes Cologne as a strong Duelist, and gets fired up. Yuma and Astral then try to first the Overlay Units to 0, but even that fails, with Cologne using a Trap Card, "Xyz Boxed Lunch", to recover them. Seeing Cologne's resolve for winning, while shocked at her strength, Yuma comments to her about her desire of winning to follow Mr. Heartland's request, and she reveals about her past.
Cologne was once a doll, who was bought by a rich girl. However, that rich girl soon was given a new doll, making her forget about Cologne, and abandoning her. She was then sent to the disposal plant of Heartland. There, Dr. Faker picked her up and made her a "human". Cologne then explains that if she loses, her soul will leave her, making her return to what she was. She then yells crying that she doesn't want to be a miserable doll anymore. This feeling strike Yuma and the others, making Yuma hesitate about the Duel. At that time Cathy notes she was the girl who abandoned Cologne. She gets awkward and confused about what to do, but when she decides telling the truth, Kotori says that she was the one who abandoned her, and apologizes. She did this so that Cologne soothed her anger, and that Yuma could concentrate in the Duel, but Cologne knows she is lying, and gets even angrier, throwing oil in the fire surrounding them so that it gets higher, almost hitting them.
Yuma and Astral continue the Duel. Against the power of "Fran Ken", they play defensively, and as a last attempt, Astral comes up with the idea of using an effect which activates from the Graveyard - by that way, "Fran Ken" cannot negate it. However, smashing any strategies Yuma and Astral may use, Cologne overcomes the play and puts Yuma in a critical situation.
Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Cologne
Duel continues from the previous Rank.
Turn 4: Yuma
Cologne activates "Quick Xyz" and overlays "Doll Monster - Bear-chi Updated-Update" and "Doll Monster - Girl-chan Updated-Update" to Xyz Summon "Number 22: Fran Ken" (4500/1000) in Attack Position. Yuma activates the effect of "Number 50: Black Corn", detaching an Overlay Unit to destroy "Fran Ken", but Cologne chains with the effect of "Fran Ken", detaching an Overlay Unit and discarding a card to negate the effect of "Black Corn". Also, due to its effect, "Fran Ken" is forced to battle, so it attacks "Black Corn", destroying it (Yuma 4000 → 1600). Yuma activates the effect of "Three-Stage Belly Knight", who was used as an Overlay Unit for "Black Corn", Special Summoning a Level 3 or lower monster from his hand in face-down Defense Position. He switches "Zubaba Knight" to Defense Position.
Turn 5: Cologne
Cologne attacks Yuma's face-down monster with "Fran Ken". It was "Peropero Cerperus" (???/1800), who is destroyed. She also activates the Spell Card "Doll's Curse", destroying Yuma's "Zubaba Knight" as she has 5 or more "Doll" monsters in her Graveyard. She Sets 1 card.
Turn 6: Yuma
Yuma Sets a monster and a card.
Turn 7: Cologne
Cologne Normal Summons "Rotten Dog" (1000/???). She attacks Yuma's face-down monster with "Fran Ken". It was "Poppopo Knight" (800/2000), who is destroyed. Yuma activates his face-down "Reverse Wall", which, as a monster with 2000 or more DEF he controls was destroyed, destroys all monsters the opponent controls. However, Cologne chains the effect of "Fran Ken", detaching an Overlay Unit and discarding a card to negate the effect of "Reverse Wall". She activates her face-down "Xyz Boxed Lunch", which attaches "Poppopo Knight" to "Fran Ken" as an Overlay Unit. Cologne attacks directly with "Rotten Dog", who gains 500 ATK due to its own effect (Yuma 1600 → 100). Yuma activates the effect of "Peropero Cerperus" from his Graveyard, banishing it to destroy "Rotten Dog", as it inflicted damage to Yuma's Life Points.
Turn 8: Yuma
Yuma Sets 1 monster.
Turn 9: Cologne
Cologne attacks Yuma's face-down monster with "Fran Ken". It was "Chameleleleon" (1000/1400), who is destroyed. Yuma activates its effect, Special Summoning "Gagaga Girl" (1000/800) from his Deck in face-up Attack Position. Cologne chains the Quick-Play Spell Card "Oni-Gami Pursuit", detaching all Overlay Units from "Fran Ken" and allowing it to attack twice during this turn. "Fran Ken" attacks "Gagaga Girl".
Duel continues in the next Rank.
