Shioriha Ruri Reaches 12th Floor of Duel Masters Play’s Tower a Day After Starting
The Nijisanji liver beat the game’s light, fire, nature and water guardians with rental decks ahead of a collaboration featuring her own skin and deck.
NIJISANJI — Shioriha Ruri of Nijisanji fought her way past four guardian bosses in the main story of the digital card game Duel Masters Play’s on Sunday, reaching the 12th floor of the story’s 30-floor tower during a 161-minute stream. She told viewers she had started the game only about 24 hours earlier.
Using only rental decks, she defeated Elena, the guardian of light, then switched to a fire deck built around fast, cost-cutting creatures for the guardian Glen. After one of its cards stayed on the board through an effect that blocks destruction, she said, “Then that’s cheating. I don’t allow cheating.” Later, playing a crab-themed water deck that chat urged her to pick over a dragon, she beat the water guardian Kaito when a cat card untapped and struck a second time. “Why are you able to attack twice?” she asked, before conceding she had probably just won a lottery of the draw.
“After weighing the data, I found that the stronger one is stronger.” — Shioriha Ruri, announcing herself as a “data character”
Between duels she talked about the coming collaboration between the game and Nijisanji, which she said includes skins and decks for several Nijisanji livers, including herself and her senior Ishigami Nozomi. She also confessed a fear of tall buildings when told the tower has 30 floors, and briefly declared herself a data character, the analytical archetype of card-game anime.
Chat logged 20,761 messages and no Super Chats. Viewers turned “cheating” into a running joke whenever a combo went off, posting “Cheating again” as she first read the card chat identified as Gogogo Gangan Galaxy. The busiest minute, 455 messages, came as she chose between decks, and the cat’s double attack drew “What is this broken card!?”
She said she would practice off stream with online guides, and that her next session may be a gacha stream to collect the collaboration skins once they arrive, alongside her ongoing Elden Ring series. She added that her own collaboration skin, deck and cards would likely be revealed the following day.
