>>282308298That's what makes him the greatest, he will use strategies that you will never expect, even if they break the rules.
if he is the greatest how come he lost to some loser from 20th century?
>>282308298Yeah, special summoned monsters can be summoned in face-up defense position.
my show my rules
>>282311008It's not even about him breaking the rules (with normal summoning in defense). It's the fact it's almost always inferior to setting unless the monster has an effect you want to use asap.
>>282308298>Greatest duelist
>>282311447The whole "normal summoning in defense position" is in the anime because the is no such thing as setting a monster in the manga. It was their attempt to adapt the manga duels while putting in mechanics from the TCG they were advertising so, in the anime, they can do both (set and summon in defense).
