Bypass (verb):

go past or round.

Synonyms: go round, go past, make a detour round, pass round.

In a situation, where there is a Dragon Kid Ricky and a Size 3 Raging Spirit, normally you would go "I have to attack the Size 3 because of the redirect effect". With Beflyen, you can now go "Sweet, I can kill Ricky before the Size 3 easily now. Thanks Beflyen".

So now, if you link attack with Belfyen against a Ricky, you can kill Ricky via Beflyen's effect, deal 1 damage via Ricky's Lifelink, then continue the actual attack to kill the Size 3. That;s the option or "Bypass" Beflyen gives to you. You can now "BYPASS" or "circumevent" the defence granted by Redirect effects.

I know the redirect still happens. I KNOW the opponent can either have a Billion Knuckle or cast a Dragoenergy clone to use Counterattack to kill a sole Beflyen on it's own. The bread and butter of Raging Spirits is "Ricky + Size 3 + Weapon = Go to town"

BUT Ricky is so valuble a target that attacking it with a sole Beflyen is worth it in alot of cases!!! AND THIS ALLOWS YOU TO GET AROUND OR "BYPASS" THE REDIRECT TO KILL RICKY!!!

Did I really have to give an indepth explanation to that when everyone else here got what I said?!?!?!?!!!
