Silent Swordsman (YuGiOh!)

Biography
Silent Swordsman is a Duel Monster that never speaks, but has a dubious sense of Honour..

IT'S TIME TO DUEL!

THE LEGACY OF SILENT SWORDSMAN
 * Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (?)


 * Yu-Gi-Oh! TAG FORCE (?)

Opening
"3000 B.C... As the Pyramids were in its youth, Egyptian Kings played Terrifying Games of immense power that erupted into a war that nearly destroyed the entire World. Generations later, many heroes threw in their Gauntlets, to duel in competition...  This is the story of a monster who went on a quest for redemption, as he is about to embark on an adventure that will bring opponents from far and wide.  But will this story end in Triumph?  or will it end in utter Defeat?  Only time will tell..."

Rival
Name: Blaster Blade

Reason: As Silent Swordsman looked around, a master swordsman jumped and striked Silent Swordsman. He then got his sword deflected, and pushed back. Blaster Blade then realized Silent Swordsman might actually be a member of the Royal Paladins, and asked if he wishes to come nicely. Silent Swordsman pointed his blade at him, believing the clan is a threat without a word. Blaster Blade then made a suggestion that Silent Swordsman would be quite a successful soldier if he joined with honor, which he believed he has lots. Giving a serious face, Silent Swordsman charged at Blaster Blade, who now realized words won't affect a mute warrior, and the two are forced to fight...

Connection: While both of them are swordsmen, and come from Card Games, another connection is more obscure; Akira Itō was responsible for a certain measure for both franchises (He did the art for Yu-Gi-Oh! R, which is similar to Kazuki Takahashi's, who did the story. Itō even was a major player in developing the CARDFIGHT Vanguard concept of media.  Both TCGs are also Highly Successful, and have only gotten better with age...

Ending
"As a famed swordsman returns home, his fellow allies knew it was a tough fight... But his battles are only just beginning... As the draw of a card can mean victory or defeat, a strategy that is successful or a failure, one thing needs to be known: As a Duelist tries all they can to win, the duel is meant to be part of the memories, not the emotion.  And while nobody knows about The Heart of the Cards, it knows our potential as duelists.  Never give up, and follow your dreams!"
