The Frightfur series, or more precisely the series combining Frightfur, Edge Imp, and Fluffal, is part of the "Yu-Gi-Oh! A5" original work, belonging to the elite Fusion Army infiltrator Shiunin Sora's deck from the "Basic Dimension".
The series typically maintains the image of "seemingly cute little animals, but in reality, they are all demons".
Aside from the extra appearance, this deck also contains a classic "Polymerization" support suite.
It's not an auxiliary suite for Fusion Summon, but rather refers solely to the support of the card "Polymerization".
In fact, it is the card currently activated by Fukami Subaru.
"Activating the effect of Frightfur Patchwork, add an [Edge Imp] monster and a [Polymerization] from the deck to the hand!"
Fukami Subaru's deck automatically ejects a Polymerization and a monster, which he takes into his hand, holds up, and shows, saying, "I add Edge Imp Sabres and Polymerization from my deck to my hand."
"Wow, such a powerful card."
"Isn't this much stronger than Fusion Sage?!"
Scissors?
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the opponent's card, and at this moment, Tierra anxiously asked Tenjo Hikari, "Tenjo Hikari, what is the effect of that monster!"
As a beginner, although she had seen many times before, her actual dueling experience was indeed limited, so Tierra was nervous about everything.
"No worries, he'll reveal the effect in a moment."
Tenjo Hikari was not particularly surprised by the opponent using Frightfur.
It's not because, since in the original work Shiunin Sora used this deck, Tenjo Hikari assumed someone in the Fusion Army would use it.
Tenjo Hikari expected someone in the Fusion Army to use this deck because he often saw Fusion Army members giving out "dolls" at various events.
Not just in this recruiting event where dolls were given out.
In fact, last year, at the celebration when Tenjo Hikari first met Serena, Fusion Army members made giving out plush dolls an event, and at that time, Tenjo Hikari expected Fusion Army to bring out Frightfur for a duel.
Unfortunately, until today, Tenjo Hikari had never seen any Fusion Army member use this deck.
So Tenjo Hikari speculated that maybe this was neither a sub-card deck like "Ancient Gear" nor an elite deck like "Gladiator Beast", but rather a mascot-type card.
After all, they really made a lot of Frightfur dolls.
"Next, I activate a Spell Card, Polymerization!"
Fukami Subaru did not stop his action but immediately activated the card he just added to his hand: "Fusion of Edge Imp Sabres and Fluffal Cat from the hand!"
"Fusion Conditions are Sabres and one or more Fluffal!"
Following his action, a large, fluffy little cat with small white wings appeared on the field, causing some newly enrolled female students to squeal softly as they saw the cute kitty.
Cute things always attract people's affection.
Even more so since it's a cat. Naturally more popular.
But what happened next was a bit brutal.
Suddenly, the fluffy cat split open entirely, accompanied by "crack crack" sounds, a sharp pair of scissors emerged from its blue fluffy belly, then "crack crack" as it tore itself apart, transformed into a similarly fluffy but fiercely sinister and sharper Demon Wolf.
The style switched directly from Teletubbies to Five Nights at Freddy's.
"Ah!"
"Ugh—"
"Eek!"
Some girls who originally embraced the dolls given by the Integration Department, and liked cute things, immediately threw away the dolls they were holding, and even Asuka close by couldn't help but take a deep breath.
She actually had secretly asked other good friends to get a doll from the Integration Department for her, but she never thought that the doll would end up like this!
"Fusion Summon, Frightfur Wolf!"
Frightfur Wolf, LV 6, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2000.
At this moment, Fukami Subaru paid no attention to the outside voices; in his mind, the duel with Tenjo Hikari was the most important.
Moreover, as a duelist, one should never be fixated on the image of a monster!
Tenjo Hikari had dealt with lots of abstract monster cards!
They're just somewhat childhood-ruining monster cards, that's all, nothing much!
"Activate the monster effect of Fluffal Cat; when this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Fusion Material, it returns a Polymerization from the Graveyard to the hand."
He retrieves the Polymerization from the Graveyard.
Some students seriously watching the duel started nodding nonstop: "Facing [Fusion], he responded with pure, original [Fusion]; this Integration Department still has some backbone."
"This new Integration Department Minister seems to have some skills."
Fukami Subaru couldn't help but straighten his posture.
That's right!
That's the way!
He also wants to showcase Fusion Masters and Fusion Duelists to all the new students as their new Integration Department Minister!
"Activate the monster effect of Edge Imp Sabres from the Graveyard!" He takes a deep breath and holds up a card from his hand. "This card, when it's in the Graveyard, allows you to return a card from your hand to the top of the deck and then Special Summon it in Defense Position!"
"Come on out, my Sabres!"
A demon composed entirely of several pairs of scissors, with scarlet eyes glowing, resurrects from the graveyard.
Edge Imp Sabres, LV 3, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, DEF 800.
"Wow, such an effect!"
"So, does that mean it can be used for another Fusion now?"
"Continuous Fusion! Awesome!"
Fukami Subaru takes a deep breath: "Indeed—I activate the Spell Card, Polymerization, once more!"
He raises a card from his hand and inserts it directly into the Spell Zone: "Fusion of Fluffal Bear from the hand and Edge Imp Sabres from the field!"
A cute pink bear with wings appears on the field, and then the Scissors Demon proceeds to open up the fluffy bear; a few sentimental people are somewhat reluctant to watch, and shortly after, a bear demon almost identical to Midnight Bear Freddy appears on the field.
Frightfur Bear, LV 6, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2200.
Tenjo Hikari took a glance at Frightfur Bear.
Surprisingly, he fused directly without using the bear's effect to search for Toy Vendor? Seems like he doesn't have such cards.
"Wow, summoned two Fusion Monsters both having more than 2000 Attack Power at once!"
"Quite impressive!"
"But—" someone also chimed in with their thoughts, "isn't it said that the Ancient Gear Howitzer, when destroyed in battle, allows the Special Summon of Ancient Gear Golem without fulfilling any conditions?
That monster possesses 3000 attack points, a strong monster comparable to Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Even summoning a Fusion Monster won't work against it, right?"
"Thinking too simply!" Fukami Subaru shouted, "As a Fusion Duelist, you should understand your opponent's cards and think of countermeasures in advance!
So—I just need to bypass the effect of Ancient Gear Howitzer!"
"How is that possible? Isn't it unaffected by any card effects?"
"Heh heh heh—simple, just need to Tribute it!" He smirked, "This card allows you to Tribute a card on your opponent's field and Special Summon it to their field!
I Tribute Ancient Gear Howitzer, Special Summon—Santa Claws!"
A demon resembling Santa Claus, carrying gifts, pushes the original Ancient Gear Howitzer's spot out with a sack of gifts, forcibly pushing it away.
"In this way, it indeed bypassed the god's effect." Tenjo Hikari glanced sideways at Santa Claus, not surprised, "However, its DEF is 2500."
Santa Claws, LV 6, Light Attribute, Fiend-Type, DEF 2500.
"Not only that, if you don't destroy that monster belonging to you this turn, I can use its effect to draw an additional card from the deck." Tenjo Hikari casually said, "That's also the cost of its ability to devour others."
"Indeed, powerful cards always come with risks—but, just eliminate the risk, and it's fine!" Fukami Subaru shouted confidently, "Activate Normal Spell Card! 'Defense Seal'!"
"This card can change one face-up Defense Position monster on your opponent's field to Attack Position!" He pointed at the Santa Demon on Tenjo Hikari's field.
"A bit dangerous—" Tierra exclaimed in a low voice.
Santa Claws DEF→ATK, ATK: 1200
"Huh…"
Noticing Tierra's nervous expression.
Tenjo Hikari chuckled softly.
He had fully figured out the opponent's strategy and thoughts.
To resolve swiftly, relying on the multiple attack capabilities of Frightfur Wolf for a one-turn kill, right?
He couldn't help but genuinely laugh.
The opponent indeed conducted thorough research on him, and more importantly, the opponent's enthusiasm for fusion and his exploration of duels were entirely different from the previous Integration Department members!
This made him quite pleased, too.
