Yu-Gi-Oh! Zero - Duel 001

Important notes

 * The Yu-Gi-Oh! Zero series uses the original method of Hybrid Summoning, however, Splice Cards were added to be requirements to initiate the Hybrid Summoning.

A Tragic Beginning
The story begins with a narration of events that occurred following the events of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V with a brief mention of VRAINS' events. He cuts to Jamie at age 6 duelling against his father using an Elemental HERO deck. Jamie activates Elemental HERO Union as his father Dante Yutori is about to attack with Sacred Birth Dragon; thanks to his trap card is able to fuse &  that are on his field into Elemental HERO Dark Angel.

Thanks to Dark Angel effect - it gains 300 ATK for each Trap/Spell Card in the graveyard. However, Dante counters with Extinguishing Flames - when a monster is Special Summoned during the Battle Phase - his trap can negate the summoning and destroy the monster. After destroying Dark Angel - he attacks directly with Sacred Birth Dragon. Dante lectures Jamie on using only Power-based strategies.

At age of 8; Jamie duels against his father again using a Yugi replica deck and uses to fuse  with  to fusion summon  and thanks Dark Paladin's effect its ATK becomes 5900. He proceeds to attack, however, Dante discards Extinguishing Flames to activate his trap Dragon Synthesis allowing him to banish two cards from his graveyard to add their ATK to Alexandrite Dragon. Dante banishes two other Alexandrite Dragons from his graveyard and raises the ATK of the one on his field to 6000 and than follows up with another Trap - The Terrifying Roar of the Dragons - increase Alexandrite Dragon's ATK by 1000. Jamie's Life Points drop from 1100 to 0 as Dante lectures him on surveying the field and tells that power may not be everything, but at times it can help.

At age of 11; Jamie duels his father again using a Yusei replica deck with his own additions added to it. He controls, , and on his field while Dante controls Sacred Birth Dragon on his field.

Jamie tunes Junk Synchron with Speed Warrior to Synchro Summon and follows up by tuning Junk Warrior with Hyper Synchron to synchro summon Hyper Warrior thanks to its effect - it gains Junk Warrior's ATK until the end of the turn. Both of them only have 200 Life Points as Jamie calls Hyper Warrior to attack Sacred Birth Dragon, however, Dante counters with Banana Peel negating the attack and halving Hyper Warrior's ATK. Jamie activates Mystical Space Typhoon destroying Dante's face-down card.

However, it is revealed to be Splice Card called DNA Splicing which enables him to send 2 cards Splice Cards to the Biohazard Zone increase the Value to 3 as the Splice Card enables him to add 1 Splice Card to his hand. He adds the Normal Splice Card Molecular Splicing to his hand and upon his turn beginning he activates it - sending Sacred Molecule Connection to the graveyard to splicing his Sacred Birth Dragon with allowing him to Hybrid Summon Sacred Birth Reinforced Dragon. He attacks Hyper Warrior while using Sacred Birth Reinforced Dragon's effect to increase its attack by 500. Jamie is defeated.

Later that night Dante talks with the Mayor of Cairns City about an unknown project arguing that it would be beneficial to the Fusion Dimension. However, the Mayor calls it too dangerous and refuses to give Dante permission to continue his project. A few hours; Dante is in his office as he is trying to use his powers as the Deputy Mayor to override the Mayor's decision, however, an orb of energy covers the office of the Deputy Mayor along with City Hall's Eastern Wing is engulfed only to be replaced by a large crater.

The following morning; Mitch Yutori - Jamie's 9 year older brother - is met with Cairns Police and they inform Mitch that Dante has been killed in explosion devastating the brothers as Jamie drops his deck in shock of the revelation.

At shock of the news Jamie is unable to bring himself to pick up a deck again and joins a non-duel monsters related school and the local Army Cadets as part of the non-duelist division.

Present-day
Jamie is informed that the Final March of the year is scheduled for Monday and his Graduation will be hosted as a mere farewell party. Jamie thanks his fellow cadet for letting him know as he is glad that he was able to get an Extra-year despite still only being a Warrant Officer 2.

Jamie travels to South Academy where he watches duel between Choji Gunma and a random student using Celestial Swordsman as his monster. Choji defeats the random student by using to destroy the student's monster and dealing damage to both them. Choji's Life Points go from 1700 to 300 and the student's goes from 500 to 0.

He looks over to another duel field and notices Karin Gunma dueling and defeats her opponent with an direct attack from Love Queen. Karin notices Jamie and runs over to him. She tells him that asks him about his day while Choji boasts that he has won 76 times this year.

Jamie and his friends cross paths with Samson Wild - he greets everyone except Jamie cheerfully but gives Jamie the cold shoulder and calls him a "quitter".

The following afternoon at Jamie's house - Karin asks if Jamie has reconsidered in his decision to never duel again only for Jamie to quickly change the subject, however, as soon as he does Mitch bursts in the house revealing that Samson has stolen his deck and will agree to give it back if Jamie agrees to duel him tomorrow at sunrise.

Jamie is extremely hesitate and tries to refuse, but Karin brings up the times he enjoyed himself while playing the game and manages to eventually convince him enough to make Jamie begin to reconsider.

Jamie meets Samson at Woodleigh Road at sunrise like he was told and tells him he agrees to duel him only for Samson to point out the fact that he doesn't have a deck. Just then a box flings out of an old Drawer in Dante's room and lands in Jamie's hand revealing them to be his father's cards - he proceeds to tell Samson to get ready to "feel the dragon's heat" as his eyes glow and Duel Disk in the shape of Dragon's wing appears on his arm.
