Chapter 1170: Riddle For The Ages
[Yusei, LP0]
Life Points reached Zero, which meant losing the Duel. Yusei had been prepared for this outcome, and before the fight, he had not really expected to win against the legendary boss in front of him.
However, he predicted the result, but not the process.
Until his life points reached zero, he was still digesting the last moment of the duel.
The Equip Spell "Junk Barrage" had a specific description on the card: "When the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK in the Graveyard."
Yusei had never noticed this detail, but until now he discovered that the last sentence of this card read "inflicts damage to your opponent equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK."
"Your opponent", not "the controller of the destroyed monster."
In other words, no matter which monster was destroyed, the one who would eventually bear the damage was the "opponent" from the perspective of the duelist who controlled this "Junk Barrage".
So Yuei Vu equipped "Junk Barrage" to Yusei's monster, and then continued to use his own monster to launch suicide attacks. Every time Yuei Vu's monster was destroyed, the effect of "Junk Barrage" would be triggered, and the opponent from Yuei Vu's perspective, Yusei, must receive half the damage of the destroyed monster's attack power.
