"1"Surprise Attack - Black Blade Presses At 4:00 a.m., alarms blare across the southern training grounds of Tōun Academy.
The area is torn like paper in a storm. Steel beams fly, buildings collapse, and a shadowy figure cuts through the line of defense. Wherever he goes, the ground is scorched.
It's him-Black Blade.
No warning. No explanation. Just a single, chilling message delivered by action:
"The war begins now."
Standing on the burning earth, his long blade erupts with otherworldly runes. The sheer pressure distorts space itself. Like a lone king, he stands and challenges all who would guard the gates.
[2]First Front Falls - Combat Division Annihilated Led by Gōzanjirō Retsu, the Combat Division rushes to intercept.
"Everyone, go! Don't let him enter the inner ring!"
But... Even their fists, powerful enough to shatter steel, are no match for the soul-cutting blade.
Only five blows. That's all it took for Black Blade to send thirty fighters to the ground.
Even Gōzanjirō was knocked back with a single blow, coughing up blood as he fell to his knees.
"This guy... doesn't even move like a human..."
[3]Magic Division Mobilized × Yoru Mikado Enters the Fray The Magic Division springs into action. Hakuran and Midō Karuma rush to evacuate the wounded.
From the far end of the Ryūgasha grounds, a lone figure approaches - Yoru Mikado.
His cloak ripples. Beneath it, a new battle uniform, carved with the sigil of Black Jack. His gaze is colder, more distant than ever.
Kōdō Saya tries to run to him - but is stopped by Kyōichi Tendō.
"Let him go. He has already made his decision."
Yoru walks forward.
Towards the battlefield.
Towards Black Blade.
"Supernatural Power - First Form Unleashed," Black Blade stares at him with a faint grin.
"So... you finally decided to show yourself, Demon Joker of Tōun."
Yoru holds up a single card. A black jack. It glows.
"Black Jack - Ability: [Realm of Chaos - First Form]."
Space fractures. Light distorts. Reality shatters like glass.
Illusion. Gravity. Perception. All collapse into disorder.
You vanish.
Black Blade swings - but hits nothing.
At that moment, Yoru appears behind him. Blade drawn!
The first real clash of blades explodes - enough power to level an entire neighborhood.
[5]Brief Clash - Terrifying Truth Black Blade no longer holds back.
He spins - delivers a palm strike - ignores the illusions - blows Yoru back a dozen meters in one blow.
"Impressive... but your 'Chaos' is still unstable."
"You haven't mastered the price that comes with the deck."
Yoru rises from the rubble, blood on his lips - but something glows in his eyes.
Not normal light.
Something far more dangerous - a heterochromatic glow.
The sign that Black Jack's alternate personality is awakening.
Saya screams:
"No-his consciousness is being consumed!"
[6]Prelude to the Final Duel As Yoru prepares to attack again - A blue figure steps in front of him.
Kyōichi Tendō.
A sentence:
"Stop. This is not the time to lose control."
He turns to Black Blade.
"This battle... is mine now."
Black Blade chuckles, blade at his side.
"So, the legend of Tōun... wants to test my edge?"
Kyōichi replies coldly, "I'm not testing you - I'm testing the world behind you."
[7]The storm is coming. All the division leaders converge.
Hakuran closes in on the runaway experimental weapon Midō Karuma searches for the Ice General's tracks Gōzanjirō is rushed to the emergency room Onimaru Setsura clenches his fury and demands action Meanwhile, Yoru Mikado lies unconscious in Saya's arms.
She holds him tightly, tears running down her face:
"...Come back. Don't let the deck take you..."
He whispers weakly:
"...I just wanted... to protect you all..."
