...Okay, look.

I'm the first to admit I've been out of the game for uh.

Five years? Five years.

Are duels just fights now.

I'm confused.

No. They're not supposed to be.

The whole current gimmick is you run around a giant Field Spell for the entertainment of the audience to make Duels more high contract/exciting and not golf.

The problem is a bunch of jerks from Russia and some School from Maiami are taking "Run around and try and deflect your opponent from getting cards means snapping their legs."

Not usually.

Just there's some very specific people who treat it like that.

If you're good at it, yeah.

...

Do you want a training menu?

....It's allowed?

Oh.

So thugs.

It's... complicated.

You can attack the other person to disrupt them, but there's limits to it. Thing is, recently, those limits have been pushed a lot.

Which really just makes me dislike Action Duels more, but I wasn't really keen on them in the first place, anyway.

A what?

A plan.

So you don't get your spine broken.

....

That doesn't seem very smart.

So people are defaulting to assault to disrupt the opponent?

Meh.

I'm just gonna wing it.

People like Marias, those... I think it's called "Ryozanpaku"? Wherever that guy who was really calling out about monsters and all during the Action Duel tournament is from, and this new Duelist Crusher guy, yeah.

They're the main ones defaulting to assault for the most part. Marias really likes that knee-to-the-face thing from what I watched.

I'm pretty sure the point is that you're supposed to be using your monsters, the Action Field environment, and your own agility with your own Action Cards to interfere but. People like contact sports, I guess.

I'm thinking it's more like. Chess boxing.

With street fight rules on. And you can't completely knock out your opponent until you finish them in the duel.

When Action Dueling started up in America, there was always some crossover. When people figured out physical contact to gain an advantage was allowed, it started becoming the standard pretty quick. Plus, y'know. Combat sports are a 4 billion dollar industry, so. The audience was into it too.

But in America, there's always an inherent respect for your opponent involved. Nobody wants to put anybody else in the hospital because we're all colleagues.

Vesik and his advocate clearly don't care about that.
