Already!?

Holy Crow! The next set already??

ShiroRyu - 9. Apr, 12:12

Why am I not surprised. Another dragon.
Sorry just had to quote abridged lol. Actually I'm glad there's more dragons coming out, though I think they could use more low-level monsters or support spell/traps rather than more high-level monsters XD

supreme_slayer - 9. Apr, 22:50

Well, they have to release all of the Dragons for 5D's.

Apparently there are quite a few Synchro dragons that are used.

Johnsea - 10. Apr, 16:02

i like dragon very much....
this time my deck will be more powerful

Diehard_Guy - 9. Apr, 13:03

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Black Rose Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's Aki's Dragon

cybergx - 9. Apr, 13:14

Starnge name...

Tat is one strange name for a Yugioh set... Crossroads of Chaos. Anyways, Black Rose Dragon? Another weird name. I have a felig that this set is going to have more weird cards in it. lol

Forrenz - 9. Apr, 15:30

Yeah

'Black Rose Dragon' must be the 3rd of the 5 Dragons...

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 9. Apr, 17:18

All-Powerful Dragon cards

Until now the known All-Powerful Dragon cards are Stardust Dragon, Red Daemon's Dragon and Black Rose Dragon. Personally, the 5 All-Powerful Dragon cards looked like their existence is inspired by F.G.D. Five God Dragon.

Forrenz - 9. Apr, 19:58

It isn't announced that 'Black Rose Dragon' IS one of the 5, but I've been thinking something else - What if the 5 people with the dragon birthmarks are the "5Ds" and there aren't really 5 "all-powerful' dragons!

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 11. Apr, 09:25

Wait a sec!!!

"5D's" stand for "Five Duel Scoop" not "5 All-Powerful Dragons",that's why Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is rumored to have the genre of sentai. If you are asking, sentai is originated from Japanese language word for a military unit and may be literally translated as "task force" or "group". "Black Rose Dragon" sounded like 1 of the 5 Dragons Yusei and his companions seeking for though.

cybergx - 12. Apr, 01:37

Dragonguy, 5D's DOES NOT stand for "Five Duel Scoop". And Forrenz did not say that 5D's stood for "All powerful dragons" either. Forrenz was stating the PLOT of the series. I could be mistaken, but "Five Duel Scoop" was the name of the conference that introduced Yugioh 5D's in Japan.

The Legendary Underdog Joey - 10. Apr, 02:28

or

That the 5D's represent the 5 people with Dragon birthmarks and that they all have a very powerful dragon

Red-Eyes Darkness Girl - 21. Apr, 04:31

Simple

5D's = Five Dragon's.

scorchingwolf - 10. Apr, 16:08

wtf

these cards are getting to much attention for real some of them are even like to....
there retarted man some of them really suck sooo what's the point i know it is time for a change but still it is pretty much pointness.

Forrenz - 10. Apr, 17:23

...

What?

scorchingwolf - 10. Apr, 16:12

just to let you know

i'm mad about that to the light of destruction i have not seen sneak preview information yet either btw the other thing i posted i was talking about these new 5d cards they are really complicated.

cybergx - 10. Apr, 22:26

How are they complicated? I don't see any coplicated cards in The Duekist Genesis. If you're confused about something, you can ask me what it means and I'll be happy to help you.

cyberzane19 - 11. Apr, 03:46

this sounds like a cool name Crossroads to Chaos ( CTC) im guessing it abbreviation is gunna be so does black rose dragon and can someone explain to me who summons stardust dragon in the yuesi(sp) and jack duel cause the summary sounds confusing i know it hasnt been announced yet ( i kno it may not be right to talk about here if it is someone tell me to edit it)

YukiJudai123 - 12. Apr, 00:44

Reply to Destiny Hero - Dragonguy about 5D's

5D's dont stand for "Five Duel Scoop" thats the us version name..

The original is 5 Dragon's or something like that..

Also, i think its gonna be something element like,

Stardust represents heaven

Red Demon Dragon represents hell

Black Rose Dragon could represent darkness (maybe)

Blah Blah Blah Dragon could represent light (maybe)

And a last blah blah Dragon represents harmony... Light and heaven mix while darness and hell mix...It is only a theory....

And we'll maybe get a lot of support cards... Maybe something to the lower level monsters to boost Syncros and Tuners....

cybergx - 12. Apr, 01:34

Actually, I'm pretty sure "Five Duel Scoop" was the name of the conference that they had to introduce Yugioh 5D's, although I could be mistaken. But Five Duel Scoop DOES NOT stand for 5D's.

Manjyome Thunder - 12. Apr, 09:02

As far as I recall, they used "Five Duel Scoop" as article headline in the V-Jump when they introduced the new Synchro mechanic, while it was visual and abbreviation-wise a pun to "5D's", which became the new logo at the same time.

cybergx - 12. Apr, 18:26

Oh, so it was an article headline? Thanks Manjyome. See, I told you that I could be mistaken and Manjyome comes and corrects me. But ya, Five Duel Scoop does not stand for 5D's.

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 12. Apr, 19:12

"5D's" is not stand for "Five Duel Scoop"

I apologize for my awkward mistake and thanks for the correct info

cybergx - 13. Apr, 02:04

I'm glad that you actually admitted you were wrong. I know SO MUCH people who keep at what they are saying, even though they are wrong. I salute you!

RedEyesFan - 13. Apr, 08:13

lol...

the best thing to do is just refer it as 5D's...
no need to worry about what the "D" means...
everythings needed to have a name to be distinguish....
the Black Rose Dragon should be very cool looking since black looks odd in yellow background.

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 18. May, 06:11

Thanks

thx for the salute, cybergx

cyberzane19 - 13. Apr, 23:01

i see black rose dragon being a black dragon (duh) with thorns like things coming out of its body i think its gunna be the coolest dragon of the 3 that would be out and is it to crazy to say that they can completely flip the old story dealing with 5GD and the good guys summoning it i see that happening against the evil force during one of the seasons

RedEyesFan - 4. May, 02:59

Roses...

they r beautiful yet deadly/dangerous...
they suit that Aki girl or thats u call her.
maybe the effect is like a built in ring of magnetism(attracts)... and some deadly effect.(destroy)

Great Shogun Shine - 18. Apr, 02:03

Existing theme cards

Will there be any new Phantom Beast and Machiners cards in it? And the Machiners im talking about is Commander Covington, Machiners Soldier, Machiners Sniper, Machiners Defender, and Machiners Force. Plus I wonder if they will make more Fusion Gladiator Beast cards in it too?

cybergx - 19. Apr, 16:07

I would doubt the Machiners. I can see them bringing back the G-Beasts, Lightlords, Gravekeepers, etc. Like how Force of the Breaker supported all of those other themes. Crossroads of Chaos will probably do something similar.

Forrenz - 20. Apr, 20:00

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!

I'm really hoping they don't toss the unreleased GX cards aside, especially some basic cards they should make, like the rest of the NEX monsters and their fusions, as well as the Cyber Angels, N-Signal, Miracle Contact (Especially this one! Come on, Konami!!), maybe even Darkness' cards and Yusuke's Clear cards!!!
And Assault Gundog and Wiretap at least.
But I'll quit whining now - maybe UDE will be so kind?

RedEyesFan - 22. Apr, 13:23

let make this sound dumb...

crossroad of caos is yellow right???
and what happen in Cyberdark Impact???

scorchingwolf - 6. May, 15:31

ok

synchro monsters are really sweet i changed my mind after watching how good yusei
and his sweet monsters and stardust but what is black rose dragon i have not seen any informatoin on it yet stupied card uhhhhh ummm i really hope their is like at least 3 or 4 new gladiator cards seeing as how my gladiator beast deck rules btw jugdement dragon is like the best dragon next to envoy of the end it rules that's kinda way i need new gladiators anywho who thinks this pack will be good???????????

Forrenz - 9. May, 22:10

Why "crossroads"?

Does the fact that this set has "crossroads" in its title mean it may have 'Speed World'? I'd understand an SD made for 'Speed World' instead, but still... if it's effect is as Janime has it listed, it would have stopped the huge draw engine of DAR itself!

InPassing - 17. May, 23:20

...Yes. Yes! YES! YES!! FINALLY, KONAMI DID SOMETHING RIGHT!!!

Seriously, Plants really needed a boost. Titanial's just PERFECT. And that Fertilizer's just powerful on so many accounts. (YAY SAFE RETURN)

RedEyesFan - 18. May, 02:36

ya,

before this booster, plants r just for insect and water supports.
now, we can make the duel field more beautiful with all this plants devouring the opps monster.

cybergx - 18. May, 05:51

Don't be surprised when you see them winning tourneys now...

RedEyesFan - 18. May, 18:01

Hell Bramble+Revival Gift=

epic burn pwnage...
and use tons of Misrevive(s) on ur opponent
Undead r gonna get killed(infinite times since they can revive) when against this deck.

but this plant cards cant photosynthesis...
*sigh

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 18. May, 06:57

Plant-Psychic-Reptile

So the major types this time are Plant, Psychic and Reptile. I'm really glad that KONAMI is gonna release more plant monsters this time, at long last, there is more "auxin" from KONAMI to plant monsters since their last "auxin" distribution in Phantom Darkness. Psychic-type Monsters still need some expansion in the matter of number of released monster whereas for Reptile, they are gonna be released in the new archtype of Chain Monster, I think the most formidable reptile monster so far are Venominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes from Venom Monster and the strongest reptile is Gogiga Gagagigo so no big deal even if there is no more release of Reptile Monsters. By the way, Alien Monsters seem to be extinct from the Earth surface this time somehow.

arapokemaster - 18. May, 16:45

This comment is to help galladon.The Black Rose Dragon is the dragon with the four horns next to Stardust Dragon.As for the Crimson Dragon it has a long body and it looks more like a shadow than a dragon with long wings.So I think that dragon in the back is different.Just trying to help.

Golladan - 19. May, 05:29

There is no dragon with four horns next to stardust.

arapokemaster - 19. May, 23:53

Galladon you are right. The thing next to Stardust is actually his legs.I guess 5D's does stand for 5 Duel Scoop or they don't show the other 3 dragon's because they are not as important.

Golladan - 20. May, 04:58

As far as I know, 5 Duel Scoop was just a pun they used for the name of the article that introduced 5Ds. 5Ds most likely stand either for 5 Dragons or 5 Duelists.

Remember that for Yu-Gi-Oh! they like to change the opening and endings after certain points. They haven't shown the other dragons simply because they have nothing to do with the current plot.

At the moment, the current opening just shows Yusei's journey from Satellite to Neo Domino, his duel with Jack, and his time at the detention center. And maybe something else we don't know about yet.

cybergx - 19. May, 06:19

Once Crossroads of Chaos comes out, the new format will be Plants, Zombies, and the current popular decks there are today. Plants are seriously going to be an awesome deck to use now.

RedEyesFan - 19. May, 10:58

nah,

once CSOC comes out,
cookie cutters will be more active than last time and ppl will use the same deck like u said.

RFG and Normal Skill Drain deck r the onli decks that seems challenging.
the rest just look like textbooks for ppl.

scorchingwolf - 19. May, 14:22

this set is sweet

hope they have more galdiators mmm i wish i had heraklinos wahhhh!!!.
anyway looks like plants will be happy little basterds getting allthis support i bet batterys will get some to there getting better.

its2much - 20. May, 09:35

These new Plant-type monsters and support so far is just simply amazing.
Not to mention that the Artwork is Sexy.

I've been trying to get good plant type monsters but they're all Limited(Dandi, Bota-Lio)
So, I've just been Gigaplant-Dual-ing things down with the help of blazewing-butterfly and other insects.

But when this pack comes out, I can truly get at it to make a Plant-type Deck.
I'll enjoy how they just keep growing at ya XD

Forrenz - 20. May, 11:09

'Grass Fertilizer'

This effect is hurting my head... :(P
Okay, so, can you actually bring out more than one Monster monster with it? Because the self-destruct says "When THE monster Special Summoned by this effect is removed from the field" instead of "A monster"... Or does it mean when all monsters it brought out are gone????

InPassing - 20. May, 11:23

1. Sure you can, if it's not during the same turn. (It DOES say once per turn)
2. From the text, I can only assume if ANY of the special summoned monster leaves field, then the Fertilizer gets canned. (I'm just glad this doesn't work the other way)

Forrenz - 20. May, 11:41

Yeah

That's how I see it, but you see how it's worded all funky right?
This would be great to use with 'Gigaplant', huh? Makes bringing out 'Hell Bramble" a one-turn-trick like 'Junk Synchron'.

its2much - 20. May, 16:58

not quite, since using this effect to special summon from the graveyard
uses up your normal summon or set for that turn.

Once again, Dual-monster's best friend "ultimate offering" is another key-card that would go great with this.

Botanity Girl, Dandelion, Gigaplant, Lonefire Blossom... so many good cards you could special summon with this card.
Just think of it as a Plant-type Monster Reborn, since I don't think it'll last on the field for long.

InPassing - 21. May, 01:53

Forry: Gigaplant won't work, but the almighty ARMS HOLE+Premature Burial's definitely friends with Fertilizer. Fertilizer -> Titanial, Premature another Plant. You're pretty much guaranteed at least 1 more Fertilizer use at mid~late game. (Then you use Giant Trunade and bring back 2 more Plants >_>)

I2M: Yeah, it'd probably last 2~3 turns at best (even with Titanial), but by then it's done way more than it needs to do. Not to mention with Card of Safe Return, this turns into a free draw (for possibly more than one turn)

Oh, and I agree with someone above - THOSE PLANT ARTS LOOK HAWT.

InPassing - 21. May, 08:05

Oh, and just a note, Hell Bramble says [Normal Summon or Special Summon "from hand"]. (It's kinda blurry, but recognizable) I guess Konami *gasp* knew what they were doing and didn't want "Oh, you want to play that Scapegoat? Take 4000 damage" or "I play Ojama Trio and deal 3000 damage to you" on their head.

Of course, this makes the card practically useless against Dimension Fusion. *sigh* Such a shame, too.

arapokemaster - 21. May, 17:48

Looks like whoever uses the new plant cards will have this Dragon.We know Aki doesn't use it because it looks like it totally goes with the plants.It has to be the twins dragon.Maybe Rua has it in his deck and Ruka has Hell Bramble in her deck.Besides maybe they tag duel because they are twins like the Paradox Brother's.Anyway Black Rose Dragon look so cool

VolcanoLord - 21. May, 18:39

BRD

Wow I was on the fence whether to make a plant deck or not, but after seeing what Black Rose Dragon looks like i definitely am...

MUST KNOW EFFECT NOW!! :)

Iro_the_legend - 21. May, 19:59

Spellcaster =)

In the future i hope they make new and better spellcasters after they re vamp some of the other things

cyberzane19 - 21. May, 23:01

shouldnt this be called rose dragon cause it dont look really black it would have been better if the wings were black so it would have made sense but this looks awesome non the less the coolest dragon released so far

InPassing - 22. May, 00:18

It has black neck, black tail, and black thorns around him. I think that qualifies it as "Black".

cybergx - 22. May, 02:42

Black Rose Dragon

Am I the only person here that thinks that Black Rose Dragon looks smewhat like Sacred Pheonix od Nephtys? I'm not talking about the pedals though, I'm talking about the body shape.

Now I'm doubting that Black Rose will even be Aki's card. If she's supposed to have Pyschics, then why would she have a Plant? Or maybe she has a Plant deck now. Then that would be an unexpected shock! lol

cyberzane19 - 22. May, 04:57

yea it did remind me of nephtys and i just imaged that it would have been completely black ( i noticed after the tail, the outline of the wings and neck were black)

its2much - 22. May, 02:57

BLACKROSE DRAGON IS THE SEXIEST MONSTER YET!!!

goddamn, I want that Card No matter how great or bad the effect may be!

RedEyesFan - 22. May, 10:23

Black Rose Dragon...

one thing i like to say about the image,
its head,
looks small in propotion to its body.
when appeared in anime,
it will cover the whole wide screen TV!

Forrenz - 22. May, 18:19

I know! They should really have designed it a bit better. I mean, it's head is almost impossible to see!

InPassing - 22. May, 16:13

*looks at Deathkaiser for a few seconds*
*looks at Undead World*
*little part of myself dies*

....Let's see, now. Zombiecarrier practically comes out at no cost with Safe Return, not to mention it's in a monster type where multiple summoning's not an issue. Level 4 Zombie's not exactly hard to come by. (Understatement) Deathkaiser with Undead World says "I bring back anything from your grave". ...God. THIS. IS. SO. WRONG.

Forrenz - 22. May, 17:39

The plague!!

Zombies will soon be BRUTAL! At least 'Deathkaiser Dragon' is very specific in how it's brought out, though it would still be easy to pull off... Um, is he an Undead 'Hell Kaiser Dragon'?
There's finally a decent "Mammoth" monster, and it turns out to be very unpleasant in the end, hitting you for 1900LP if it's destroyed, even including 'Bottomless Trap Hole'. I guess it's good 'Creature Swap' bait when it's in face-up Defence, then your opponent will take the hit... Possibly a 'Red-Eyes Undead Dragon' combo?

Hopefully, there'll be some kind of anti-Zombie cards soon, besides 'Getsu Fuhma', who I'm sure will at least make SOME play, especially if given 'Mist Body'.

Hey!, Could this usher back 'Tribe-Infecting Virus'?

its2much - 22. May, 17:55

This is totally wrong, I really do have to agree.
Their pushing undeadtypes way too much.
too many "annoying" cards. Overpowered...

They're already annoying enough as it is! and with the release of UndeadWorld.
they'd better bring out an anti-card for these undeads,
or I'll really get owned by this other guy.

RedEyesFan - 23. May, 03:06

all of this...

is so bloody wrong...
not fair...
now,
i wanna make a Divine Bird-Dragon RFG deck...
undead also gonna pwn the Emperors cards.

Forrenz - 22. May, 18:40

'Chain' monsters

So that lard-o guard is the one that uses those 'Chain' monsters huh? (For the preview of episode 9, it shows Himuro and Old Man Yanagi getting tossed to the ground, then that huge guard attacks Yusei with 'Chain Repairer'. But that raises another question...)
But what deck is Yusei using to battle him with? Himuro's? hmmm...

cybergx - 23. May, 00:55

Doesn't say in one of the previews that Yusei uses all of the cards if his freinds or something like that? If he doesn't, then I don't know what he would use. Maybe he get his old deck back?

cyberzane19 - 23. May, 04:01

the hell kaiser dragon is basically monster reborn(misread effect i thought it was every turn u could do that special summon a zombie from ur opponents graveyard)the graveyard) with the field spell from the zombie deck ( i think he should have been in the zombie deck instead of the knight thing) it would have made more sense and i thought they were done making cards with 1900 attack or more with having negative effects like all of the first monsters with 2000 attack( dark elf, panther warrior, garadora, and the other cards like that. is Zombie carrier supposed to be an old monster just like mammoth zombie and deathkaiser( is like mammoth graveyard with 700 more attack and an effect) he should really be like red eyes darkness were u have to tribute mammoth graveyard in order to summon it

InPassing - 23. May, 04:07

If you're not facing a Zombie deck and Undead World's not in play, Mammoth+Creature Swap=Steal your opponent's creature without giving up yours+1900 damage. Not nice.

cyberzane19 - 23. May, 21:38

it would have made sense if deathkaiser dragon needed card was hell kaiser + a zombie (these sychron monsters remind me of the forbidden memories fusions when u can fuse almost any card together if its a specific type of monster ) i don't remember any of the fusions but i remember there were multiple fusion combinations for monsters

cybergx - 24. May, 15:26

Turbo Warior...

Hm... Not the best Synchro, but defintely a good tech card against Syncrho Decks. Notice the irony in that.

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 24. May, 17:48

Coolest Synchro Monster Ever!!!

Personally, Turbo Warrior is the coolest Synchro Monster ever for me, I'm going for it under any circumstances, Turbo Warrior, you are mine, XD by the way, I wonder how Turbo Synchron might looks like, looking forward to see Turbo Synchron in the coming 5D's episode.^^ After all, the same words I gotta say, just can't wait much longer! Nineteenth of July is way too far from me T-T

Forrenz - 24. May, 21:54

Well, well

I thought he needed 'Tune Warrior' from the Starter Deck to be the Tuner, since they look insanely similar...
You can't deny his sweet effect though - No 'Night Assailant', no 'Penguin Soldier', no 'Raiza', no 'Zaborg', no 'Caius'... Could he BE any better?

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 25. May, 07:05

Sentai not Hentai

Junk Warrior, Nitro Warrior and Turbo Warrior are making 5D's have the theme of Sentai somehow, I still remember about Turbo Ranger, there are no Junk Ranger and Nitro Ranger though. By the way, so Forrenz, you are a girl, wow, that's great, I thought there no more girl duels for real, all the girls that duel that I know had forfeited dueling already, I bet you must be a competitive duelist to catch up the game. If I can really Synchro Summon Turbo Warrior with Tune Warrior, that will be nice indeed, indeed, Turbo Warrior's first effect is not likely a good effect that make it inappropriate for any Deck since it can only work on Synchro Monsters.

Forrenz - 25. May, 16:43

Yup!

Me and my Yubel deck rule the roost here!
And I agree his first effect is a little limited, but his sweet 2500ATK is nothing to laugh at, like 'Gaia Knight'.

And what's with the "Sentai not Hentai" part?? There's QUITE a bit of a difference between them!

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 26. May, 16:21

Reply & Clarify

Forrenz, you use Yubel!? Yubel, one of most formidable monsters, kinda wanna duel you to kill the hermaphrodite. Anyway, nice and fit you as a girl if consider the dubbed version. Personally, the ATK points of Turbo Warrior is just moderate, it is better than Junk Warrior's though, for now, I'm just looking forward to Turbo Synchron's effect, anticipating it has effect that is likely to Junk Synchron then bringing out Turbo Warrior won't a feat. I think I need to clarify about the "Sentai not Hentai" part, it is just to insist that I was taking about "Sentai" theme and to get some attention, nothing else, don't misconstrue me.

Forrenz - 26. May, 17:26

Yubel is wicked

Hehehehe Yeah that's clever all right!
That 'Destruction God' Trap would be sweet with Yubel's final form! Your opponent takes all the damage from 2 attacks! But it may work well with the monster in the card's art - 'Vennominon'! It wouldn't work with 'Vennominaga', thanks to her own effect, but a 3000+ATK 'Vennominon', or maybe also 'Rainbow Dragon', would be devastating. Although, obviously people would use this with 'DAD' to have it or 'DMoC' attack twice :P.

and yeah, I hope 'Turbo Synchron' has a decent effect too. But I just remembered 'Nitro Synchron's' effect, and that suggests that 'Nitro Warrior' won't be the only 'Nitro' Synchro Monster...
And only 2 days until we see those 'Chain' monsters in action. Hmm.

RedEyesFan - 26. May, 17:35

letz hope...

that Turbo Synchro is a Lvl 3 warrior monster...
so that be can abuse Maruading Captain...
read the Synchro Summon combo from the Master Guide on summoning Gaia.

cybergx - 27. May, 01:27

Sorry to burst your bubble Forrenz, but that "Destruction God" trap only works for Level 8 monsters. Those combos you mentioned with the non-Level 8 monsters (Yubel final form) would be awesome though.

Forrenz - 27. May, 09:11

Aw, SNAP!

I keep thinking it says "Level 8 or higher" :P
But I've also thought of other Lv8 monsters it would be sweet with:
'Antique Gear Golem'
'Horus LV8'
'Android - Psycho Lord' (A lot of people are playing him now)
'Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi' (especially if it lets you attack directly so his effect kicks in - Can be devastating to DAR decks)
'E.HERO Shining Flare Wingman' (can you imagine him with 4000ATK and attacking the second when its in Attack Position?! Especially if the Defence-Position Monster was DAD or something that you hit with 'Enemy Controller' or 'Book of Moon'!)

VolcanoLord - 30. May, 02:27

Chain Dragon?

In the preview to the 10th episode there is some kind of dragon that is there. I believe its the big guard's and it seems to be from the chain series. That monster has to be in this set right?

Forrenz - 30. May, 18:16

We'll see...

I guess we will see next week; something to look forward too!
I'm sure they'll give us a couple more cards by then.

Great Shogun Shine - 1. Jun, 02:43

?

I wonder if their are 2 new charters that one uses a Plant Deck and one uses a Zombie Deck?

its2much - 2. Jun, 08:05

I wouldn't say so necessarily..
Its not like every new card they release is used in the anime

Diehard_Guy - 6. Jun, 09:02

Aki probably will use a Plant Deck because of her signature card - Black ROSE Dragon.

its2much - 7. Jun, 02:20

Clearly she's going to use some psychic types,
"she uses speical psychic powers" etc...
but I believe 5D's is more like the original yu-gi-oh series, where every character's deck doesn't have a theme to it. (e.g. kaiba = blue-eyes, vorse raider, giant virus[forgot eng name]; yugi = blackmagician, gaia, curseofdragon)

the reason for being Black ROSE dragon, is most probably because she is a female character.
like for Jack, he uses Red Demons Dragon, but barely uses any fiend-type monsters.

and I say this everytime, but Black Rose Dragon is very very sexy. XD

Diehard_Guy - 7. Jun, 17:13

Rose is not only for female characters!

What's about Kurama from YYH?
He uses roses and other plants.

Rose is the symbol of love. Most of the guys think it's only for girls just bcz of this reason. But it's not!

its2much - 9. Jun, 01:33

okay, sorry for that sexist-sounding part of my comment,
but I still believe plants won't be a major part of Aki's deck.

InPassing - 10. Jun, 17:44

>>Aki probably will use a Plant Deck because of her signature card - Black ROSE Dragon.
Hey, Yusei uses Stardust Dragon and most of his cards in his deck is about mechanics and warriors. I've already said what I wanted to about Aki's deck so I'm not gonna go much into that.

>>but I believe 5D's is more like the original yu-gi-oh series, where every character's deck doesn't have a theme to it.
GO APOLOGIZE TO GRANDPA AND HIS OOPARTS DECK RIGHT NOW. You don't have to apologize to the prison keeper and his Chain deck since he's a (censored).

arapokemaster - 6. Jun, 22:02

Sice Aki uses Black Rose Dragon she probably dos not use the psychic cards,besides it says her powers are derived from grief and pain or some stuff like that and that in term it makes her have more grief etc. which fuels her power.Psychics are not like that.I also noticed in the 8th episode Yanagi tells Yusei their are 5 dragons and 5 Singers so instead of 5 Duel scoop it will probably be called Yugioh 5 Dragons and Singers when it dubs in the Us and Europe,again these are just suggestions.And spaeking of does anyone think that Death Kaiser Dragon might be one of the Sacred Dragons? And last but not least some cards that should be in this set.The King of Rubber,Great Ushi-Oni,Spider Web Castle,,Skull Conductor,Chain Shooter,Chain Dragon,Chain Coil,Poison Chain,Paralyze Chain,and Soul Anchor.

InPassing - 10. Jun, 17:58

>>besides it says her powers are derived from grief and pain or some stuff like that and that in term it makes her have more grief etc. which fuels her power.

Aki believes her power comes from her dragon mark, which she consequentially hates because she hates her power. I don't remember seeing anything about her power coming from grief or pain in her description.

>>And spaeking of does anyone think that Death Kaiser Dragon might be one of the Sacred Dragons?

No way. 1. All of the dragons (2, so not much) so far had no specific condition as to tuner and non-tuner monsters. 2. All of the dragons were level 8.

D-Hero fan - 10. Jun, 03:38

theme cards

By theme cards does it mean archetypes? If so, what are the odds they would include archetypes like venoms or D-Heros? I would like that.

InPassing - 11. Jun, 03:00

Well, looking at the digest for the next 5 episodes, Ru twins apparently have their own theme deck (D-Former, or something), which narrows our choice down to:
A. Aki's still using a psychic deck and the plants are just a coincidence (or for another character).
B. I eat my word and Aki uses a plant deck, and the psychics are for another character not yet shown. (There's no way Konami's making a whole new monster type and not showing it in anime)
Right now, my choice is still in A (because, well, I'm in denial), but I guess we'll find out in July.

ABOUT BLACK ROSE DRAGON

The card details of black rose dragon is introduced. This one is surely a powerful card. It can destroy ALL cards on the field! and by removing 1 plant monster in the graveyard from play you can change the position of one defense position of opponent's to atk position and also lower it's atk to 0!

Dragon King - 18. Jun, 16:26

DRAGONS RULE!!!!......AGAIN!

I see some good Dragons in this set. White Of Legend,will be a great card for a Blue-Eyes Deck. And it's A turner type which is cool too. In fact,I see a lot of good cards for a lot of decks.Too bad some of the dragons are not good for my deck. Black Rose Dragon is for a Plant Deck,DeathKaiser Dragon is for a Zombie Deck and Chain Dragon is for monsters with Chain in it's name. Hopefully more good dragon will come out in the furture. TigerDragon looks cool.

Destiny Hero - Dragonguy - 18. Jun, 16:58

IMO

This booster is intensifying my passion in dueling, the cards are just too decent to be missed. Personally, Black Rose Dragon is currently the most powerful dragon among the others as it wipes out all cards on the field likely to Phoenix Goddess of Nepthys to clear away the Spell and Trap and acquires the terrifying forceful effect to change monsters' Battle Position and turn their ATK to 0 . Black Rose Dragon is such a beautiful and nice cards after all. And now I call that balanced, finally there are Hane Wata, counterpart of Watapon(Contrast of Kuriboh) belongs to Yugi similar to Hane Kuriboh of Judai, and Fencer of United Landstar, the counterpart of one of the cute companion of Jonouchi. There is something related to Kaiba too, Legend of White. Anyhow, all of them shares the potential as Tuner. The Deformers are quite conspicuous for me, their effect depends on Battle Position. As for Turbo Warrior, I was hoping that there is a card that "bleach" Monster Cards. By the way, isn't that World Tree is better known as Yggdrasil?

InPassing - 18. Jun, 22:55

This booster would intensify my passion for dueling too if that bastard of a card Undead World didn't exist in the card pool. *sighs*

InPassing - 18. Jun, 18:21

Thanks, Manjyome.
Hades: ...You can't be serious. As if Undead now needed a freaking Hades effect. (Since he IS Hades, I assume he's 2450 Atk)
Black Rose: Well, Konami, way to break the trend and everything I knew. Lv7, huh? I guess this also proves Aki IS using a plant deck and I have to eat my words.
White of Legend: BLUUUUUE EEEEEEEYES!!!
Deformers: Oh, Mobaphon, why can't you let me arrange those cards?
Feudal Lord Contest: Oh, right, as if most, if not everyone's NOT playing Dark decks.
Worldtree: WHY AREN'T YOU A FIELD SPELL, DAMMIT!? HOW AM I GOING TO FIGHT THE UNDEAD WORLD!?

arapokemaster - 18. Jun, 20:36

Awosme set.

This set seems more worthy than The Duelist Genesis,2 types will be reborn.Plants have always had little support and now they can actually make it into the metagame with all these awesome cards.The tradition of the main characters monsters stats continues since Black Rose Dragon has the same 2400 atk as almost all secondary antagonists ace cards.It's effect is the best out of all the Dragons so far, the first effect is awesome as it is like a monster version of Raigeki, and the second is jsut saying inflict 2400 damge on 1 turn.The Zombies are awesome too.Aki will make it strong as a secondary antagonists if she does use the plants,I mean look at her cloths it just screams Black Rose Dragon.And since Black Rose Dragon will be in the 2008 tins,if konami only slightly changes the rarity's when this set hits the us and europe plant decks will be easy to make,as the ace card will be easy to get.

InPassing - 18. Jun, 22:48

Chain Coil - Earth/Machine - Tuner/3/1100/1600
Activate by choosing a "Chain" monster on your side of the field. Increase its Atk and Def by 300. You may use this ability only once per turn.
(Rough read, probably needs some text polishing)

Edit: I think the psychic should be Psycho Health Trancer, since Hell's would usually be ヘルズ. Fits the LP healing effect, too.

scorchingwolf - 19. Jun, 13:57

black rose dragon so cool

i love the effect but i won't be making a plant deck i like those machines deformers are kinda cool aside from i just really want to make a deck other then everyone else nobody even cared about plants until now i knew mad support would come out for these fairy king truesdale was the idea why would they make him if there are barley support for them mmmm well look at all this support just like batterys.So i wonder well the put crystal beast secret rare cards in any pcaks there are alot of cards on the show that has not come out.

cybergx - 19. Jun, 20:42

Black Rose Dragon=Shweet!

Wow. this set just amazes me. Its just filled with pure awesomeness. I don't know what was up before with the website where it wouldn't let me add a comment, but now I can. I origannly said thanks to Manjyome, and all of these other comments.

Black Rose Dragon- Did I just read what I thought I read? Although you can't use all of its effects (he or she?? I don't know...) in a standard Synchro deck, it still is powerful. Destroying everything on the field is awesome! And I love the fact that its Level 7. The game has too many Level 6 and 8 monsters, and you still have a lot of chances of summoning a Level 7, but there's really only 1 you can use (unless you ran Nitro Synchron)

Spellcaster, Plants, and Zombies have all gotten major support. I LOVE that new field spell the Spellcasters have that stops Spells. Plus, in a Spellcaster deck, all you have to do is summon a Spellcaster to offset the drawback. Oh, and Dandelion <3 that new Plant draw card.

I love it too that they decided to make cards that relate to the original Yugioh series. And since they're all Tuners, we might see Synchro versions of Dark Magician, Blue Eyes White Dragon, and Red Eyes Black Dragon.

All I have to say is that this set is the best one evarz! It has something for everyone as well. Oh, and Urgent Tuning isn't that good. Why Ultra? It doesn't even deserve the common status... (Its isn't useless, but it is a horrible card)

InPassing - 20. Jun, 07:13

>>you still have a lot of chances of summoning a Level 7, but there's really only 1 you can use
Go apologize to X-Sa... okay, fine, it's not that great.

>>Oh, and Dandelion <3 that new Plant draw card.
Add in Worldtree, and you're set. (Now all we need to avoid is that bastard Undead World. A couple of Dust Tornadoes should do)

>>Oh, and Urgent Tuning isn't that good.
Kill a monster with Chaos End Master, bring in Sphere. Urgent a Stardust and direct attack. Or summon Cyber Dragon, summon Tuner, Vortex. direct attack with the two, Urgent and attack again. Or Angel Lift on your opponent's battle, then Urgent.
I disagree about it being a horrible card, but I agree that it could have been better, like it being a quick spell so I don't have to wait a whole turn.

cybergx - 20. Jun, 19:56

Woops...

I thought the card said "Activate only during your opponent's Battle Phase. Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster". Now, if that card had that effect, then you would have to agree with me (well, at least a bit...) Heh, I apologize about that, just misinterpretation.

InPassing - 21. Jun, 11:09

No apology, it usually happens with translating. Well, if it was "your opponent's battle phase", then yeah, I'd probably not use it either.

arapokemaster - 20. Jun, 02:50

Since Aki uses Black Rose dragon she has to use a plant Deck maybe with all the plant cards from this set.And I'm guessing Ruka uses the Psychic monstersbecuase not only can she cummumicate with card spirits but in 1 of the upcoming episode I think it is episode 13 Ruka sences that Yusie gets stuuned by the Polices tazzer.the wird thing is they live in Neo Domino City but Yusei comes from satellite.I'm wondering if the Deformers will have a dragon wicth is Rua main deck type.It might be called Deformer m
Magnum Dragon and it might have an effect that is god on both sides.the Psychics might also have a Dragon because Mental Sphere Archfiend was not a dragon,it might be called Telekinetic Dragon,or Psycho Sphere Dragon something in the line of Mental Sphere Archfiends name and a reference to psychic abilities

RedEyesFan - 20. Jun, 12:41

Finally,

a LV6 Dragon...
it should be easier now to summon Dragon-Type Synchro.

InPassing - 22. Jun, 11:27

植物連鎖 should probably be "Plant Chain", as in pun to "food chain" (食物連鎖). ..Really, this set should be "Chains of Chaos" instead of "Crossroads of Chaos".

Forrenz - 24. Jun, 23:50

Aki uses Plants? (my views on the set)

I wouldn't be surprised if she did; you have to remember how powerful they are now thanks to PTDN - They have an OTK! They could be devastating once this set is out, and we still don't know 12 cards (although they're apparently Trap cards)...Plants will own everyone!!

I love how this set has such a wide variety of new monsters, and those support monsters are cool too: 'White of Legend' is way better a choice than 'Summoner's Art' in my opinion (and why is 'Paladin of White Dragon' never in the video games anymore??). "Winged Watapon" is a great addition to a deck using 'Power Bond', as would be 'Rainbow Life'.

The Deformers are... unique. A little on the light side, aren't they? I guess we'll see tomorrow. Maybe Ryuka uses the Psychics?
We still don't know about the Frembells, A.O.J.s, Wurms, Ice Boundary, and Valley of Wind cards are still unknowns... I especially wanna know if the X-Sabers will be in the show; they`re not too shabby, though all of those archetypes could use some actual support...

The most interesting card to me is `Village of the Magic-Type`(like `Gear Village`), which actually shuts down many decks if you control only Spellcasters, which isn't too hard, even if it's just 'Apprentice Magician'. Zombies won't even be allowed to USE 'Undead World' or their big guns 'Call of the Mummy' or 'Book of Life'. Bang. Only natural that magic would destroy zombies, right?

And about 'Urgent Tuning' - if it was an Instant Spell, it would be broken, don'tcha think? What I like about it is using it on your oppnent's turn to turn your weaker monsters into a bulky Synchro monster, and activate 'Battlemania' during the same turn. You just might clear the opponent's entire monster line-up, and if you tuned 'Goyou Guardian' and you can add up to 4 of your opponent's monsters to your side :)

cybergx - 26. Jun, 01:32

Yeah, this set is great! Plants get a much deserved boost, after being neglected for SO long. Village of the Magic Type is really good too, putting Horus to shame. (My poor Horus! No! I will not forget you!) Actually, any deck using the Apprentice Engine can effectively use Village for a semi-lock.

i don't think Urgent Tuning is no where close to being broken though, even if it was a Quickplay. It heavily relies on the fact that you need 2 monsters, one of them being Tuners, and having 2 monsters on the field is a bit harder said then done with all of this monster removal around. Only good for something like attacking with the Tuners, then Synchroing for another attack. The Battlemania combo you mentioned isn't that bad, but think of 1 thing: Why would I attack you if you had 2 face downs? And if you used Battlemania on my Standby Phase, then I won't attack and end my turn!

I really can't wait for this set to come out! It's just so awesome. Too many good cards!

Oh, and 1 thing, notice how the pack description tells us that Crossroads of Chaos introduces cards that support old themes (like Six Samurai and so on), but yet we know 68 cards, and we gaven't got a single card like that? Most likely it'll be one card (like in Force of the Breaker) that supports the theme. *takes a breath* Whew, I type so much that I should make my own blog! (sarcasm)

InPassing - 26. Jun, 06:49

Oh, Forrenz, if only plants can deal with Undead World. *sighs*

>> Actually, any deck using the Apprentice Engine can effectively use Village for a semi-lock.

I'll throw in a Sorcerer of Dark Magic to lock your traps, too. YAY.

>> It heavily relies on the fact that you need 2 monsters, one of them being Tuners, and having 2 monsters on the field is a bit harder said then done with all of this monster removal around.

Trust me. In a dedicated synchro deck, it's hard NOT making that setup. (I agree it's really not for defensive purpose, though)

>> The Battlemania combo you mentioned isn't that bad, but think of 1 thing: Why would I attack you if you had 2 face downs? And if you used Battlemania on my Standby Phase, then I won't attack and end my turn!

Actually, you're FORCED TO TAKE THE BATTLE PHASE AND ATTACK with Battlemania, same as All-Out Attacks. (I'd rather use it with Yubel, though. EPIC DAMAGE)

>> Oh, and 1 thing, notice how the pack description tells us that Crossroads of Chaos introduces cards that support old themes (like Six Samurai and so on), but yet we know 68 cards, and we gaven't got a single card like that?

I swear, if I see another OMGWTFBBQ Gladial Beast card, Konami's gonna get a box of angry letters for Christmas. And Thanksgiving.

Forrenz - 26. Jun, 18:39

Awesome play with 'Battlemania'!

'Battlemania' plus 'Cybernetic Zone'! Especially if you pull of 'Cyber End Dragon' or 'Antique Gear Ultimate Golem'!
Could you imagine forcing your opponent to attack it with 'Treeborn Frog' (just chain 'Battlemania' to your opponent declaring that they activate its special effect)!
Then there's 'Rainbow Life' to give you as much more LP to at least survive another turn, not including THAT turn.

And yeah, I especially want it for my dear Yubel! Burn, baby, burn!

cybergx - 26. Jun, 19:52

Battlemania makes your opponent attack? I didn't know that. What is All-out Attacks? Is it that continuous trap that forces everything to attack mode? If it is, it doesn't force tyou to attack. lol at the Gladiator Beast comment. We don't need another G-Beast, but it woukld be nice to get another Alien monster, or Gravekeepers, etc.

InPassing - 27. Jun, 02:03

>> What is All-out Attacks? Is it that continuous trap that forces everything to attack mode?

No, it's the continuous spell that forces special summoned monster to attack that turn.

Edit: The new undead trap's ridiculous, and the Garden. OH, THE GARDEN, HOW I LOVE YOU SO. PLANTS HAVE ANSWER TO UNDEAD WORLD. YAY.

Edit: Oop, my bad. You're right, it is continuous trap.

Forrenz - 28. Jun, 17:13

Deformers: Gadgets in Disguise!

The only one I can't see what it's "Defence Mode Form" is is 'Radion'; Is it an MP3 player? The green glowing part is the main part throwing me off...

Also, yeah, those pics are mixed up, aren't they?

Manjyome Thunder - 28. Jun, 19:35

They should be right now. Small slipup =)

As for Radion, leave the 'n' out, than you will know what it is ;)
It's the same for any other Deformer, gadget/device + 'n'

Troublesome is just Chakkan, chakka is basically a lighter. But to avoid possible later trouble with Katakana, we'll leave it as chakka, but maybe put the meaning in brackets after the name in the final list.

cybergx - 28. Jun, 20:58

Thanks for everything Manjyome! Sorry, just had to get that out of my system.

Forrenz - 29. Jun, 16:35

OOOoooohhhhh!

I see now! I should've noticed that "+n" thing earlier! >smacks self in forehead<

I wonder, since we only saw 4 of the Deformers when Ryua dueled against Yusei, if we'll get to see the others used soon. Maybe Ryua VS Ryuka? I'm kinda doubtful that she's the one that uses the Psychic monsters, since there's enough of them to suggest that they're more of a Main Character, often-seen deck archetype than "once every 12 episodes"...

cybergx - 29. Jun, 17:00

Forrenz, I've got suspicions that Aki uses the Plants, because of Black Rose Dragon. It gets a boost from Plants from its effect. Most likely we'll se the other deforemers. Rua duels again in episode 15. the episode is named something like Giant Bomber Air Raid, so it makes you think what wil happen in the episode.

Ruka might use the Pyschics, you never know. She does have the power to sense duel spirits. Or, she uses something entirely random.

Forrenz - 5. Jul, 18:11

Ep. 15

Yep, looks like Rua may actually take Ryuka's place in the Fortune Cup, and that "Giant Bomber Air Raid" seems to refer to his/her opponent's deck (preview shows a giant airship dropping bombs on them from way up).

kirabosco - 3. Jul, 08:25

coz i wan know some new friends that play cards and share the experience of cardgames ;-)

Forrenz - 5. Jul, 18:02

Aki is evil?!

Wha? Why would she have 'Black Rose Dragon' tear up the middle of the Diamond District? Is it that creepy red star, or is this her "super power" - to make cards become real?
HHMMMMMmmmm....
Man, 'Black Rose Dragon's card art does NOT do it justice... especially the invisibly-tiny head :)P

Crossroads of Chaos Commercial

Ho. Ly. Cow.
The commercial for Crossroads of Chaos is easily one of the coolest comercials for anything that Iève ever seen. It may sound like a hyperbole, but keep in mind there's very little on Canadian commercials that I would actually want to buy.

Anyways, it's pretty cool; it starts out with a scene of a graveyard (which I think represents the awesome Zombies in this set), then Aki calls out 'Black Rose Dragon', and it looks way cooler than its card art!

Diehard_Guy - 10. Jul, 17:58

Wrong Number

The number of cards known is 69.....

Forrenz - 11. Jul, 19:23

cybergx - 13. Jul, 03:12

Now Plants get their own Snatch Steal sorta thing? Plants just get better and better. I'm glad Plants finally get the support they needed, and I hope TCG doesn't screw up the rarities.

(Japan is lucky that they can still use Dimension Fusion. Now Plants can use Dimension Fusion because of that Carved Rose card. PLUS, you can use multiples!)

Forrenz - 15. Jul, 15:17

If I had to guess...

Just guessing from the Ep. 16 preview, the guy with the gold armour that is dueling against Aki has his own monster turned against him. If I had to guess, he uses Warrior-types, and Aki may have used 'Puppet Plant' or 'Rafflesia Seduction' to turn it on him. Of course, it seems nobody plays Monsters in face-down Defence Mode :P
Just saying.

Oh! And I can't wait to see what 'Cursed Fig' looks like... Is it cute? An ugly little blob?

And Turbo Warrior seems pretty tuff to Synchro Summon still... Unless you use, like, Cyber Dragon or something, it'll need 2 (or more!) other weaker monsters to bring out, just like Yusei had to... I guess his own effect is your best shot to get the required monsters out, but it sure is worth it!

Forrenz - 15. Jul, 22:55

Trap of Royal Tomb!!!

FINALLY! This is the closest thing to anti-Zombies we've been given! Just need 'Monster Reborn' to snag one of your opponent's dead Zombies and then use this card to take out any two threats, and you can use more than one copy in the same chain to take out tons of cards!

InPassing - 16. Jul, 03:40

I don't believe it's anti-Zombie. In fact, most Zombie decks can probably fit in 2~3 of this evil, EVIL trap. *Points to Undead World, Zombie Masters, and Deathkaiser*

cybergx - 16. Jul, 16:53

Trap of Royal Tomb is a good option in a Zombie deck, but I do believe if you decided to use it (unless Zombies get popular again like how Il Blud made them popular), its best at 1, and you're pushing it with 2 copies. I've been testing the new Zombie deck out, and its CRAZY! (I draw like 4 to 5 cards per turn, and then Synchro, just to draw 2 or 3 more cards!Thanks Disk Commander!)

It does Special Summon your opponent's monsters, but not as much as some people might want to think... Ah, maybe it's the lack of Terraforming in my build to search out Undead World.

Bottomless Trap Hole/and card that RFG's monsters are the anti-Zombie cards. I'm starting to think Lyla, Lightsworn Sorcress might be a viable option for Zombies to counter these threats.

Forrenz - 23. Jul, 11:11

Chain reaping

My friend has made an insanely wicked proto-deck using Warden Takasu's cards and a few others to make a deck that can throw away up to 30 cards by the end of his third turn. My Yubel deck never stood a chance, but my Rainbow Dragon deck was able to stand up a little better, before eventually losing as well (my Rainbow Dragon deck thins out pretty fast by itself, pulling out all the Crystal Beasts and whatnot).

I've been trying to think of a good Plant deck, including older cards like 'Puppet Plant', 'Rafflesia Seduction', and the PTDN Plants (Sinister Seeds' is very cool, and nets you either some defence or some Advance Summon fodder). But then I get to noticing that there is a little Insect support in the mix too, so I can't get a true focus on what I'm building for yet, aside from 'Black Rose Dragon'...

cybergx - 24. Jul, 00:16

Interesting

I can help you with that Plant deck of yours. I've been trying to build one myself, and I do have some experience with the deck. For the Plant deck, focus on the Plants, not on the Insect/Plant support. It's much better to focus on 1 theme rather than 2 or more main themes. You're going to want 3 Lonefire Blossom and at LEAST 2 Gigaplant. If you're also using OCG cards (I know some people who do mix TCG and OCG together), then throw in Dandylion in the mix. He slows the game down a lot because of Grass Fertilizer. I'll be more than happy to help.

But that Chain deck is intriguing. Couldyou tell me more about it? I've been also trying to make a Chain deck based on destroying the deck, but alas, I've been unfortunate (can't find the right cards...)

Forrenz - 26. Jul, 20:28

Chain Deck stuff

Well, it does use 2x of all the "Chain" monsters, and mostly Spells, including all the 'Nightmare Steelcages' as possible and a couple of 'Dark Room of Nightmare' for 'Chain Repairer's effect, and 2x of 'Paralyzing Chain' and 'Poison Chain'. And then 'Chain Dragon' can go after a monster equipped with 'Chain Snake' to take out quite a few cards. Oh, and a couple of 'Needle Worms' for good measure. Then some of the more obvious stuff.
He didn't even have to attack my Yubel to dump my deck.
Aw, but can you imagine using it against Lightlords? That'd be, like, two turns!

Forrenz - 26. Jul, 22:45

Only good 'Turbo Warrior' syncs I can think of...

The only ones I've got are:
'Turbo Synchron' + 'Cyber Dragon'
and
'Marauding Captain' -> 'Turbo Synchron' -> 'Bolt Hedgehog'
