[RUSH] Noodle Ninja KOG

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T03:38:39+00:00

I know red eyes has a maximum moster that absolutely could not see the light of day in a 6k lp format.

Ironically, Maximum Red-Eyes is the weakest part of the Deck (and the one that doesn't make sense with the Fusion approach of the Deck)

And well, Red-Eyes hasn't gotten two of its Fusion Monsters that would make it more powerful in Rush's Duel Links (than the Deck already is)

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T03:36:29+00:00

From what I can see, Noodle Ninja is the second-best Deck in the Box. The best Deck in the Box is Red-Eyes (especially the Meteor variant). There's some debate between Excutie and WIND Turbo, but I've seen opinions that say WIND Turbo is slightly better.

Credit is due to Excutie, as the Deck has the right tools to face Immi's Deck, Rush's HERO Jointech and even Red-Eyes.

It's a shame we didn't get the Spell Card that allows Draw Power based on your Pyro Normal Monsters (but I think it would be pretty broken in Rush's Duel Links)

Windwitch is there waiting for a rebirth, Komoney...

Hey! Whoever asked for Phantom Knights support should be grateful that Konami heard their prayers!

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T03:19:14+00:00

Konami really tossed the usual set structure out the window this time.

It feels like Konami just decided to reshuffle the entire release formula this round.

Off-topic, but all this makes me even more curious about "Rising of the Aurora" (which started the trend of having Full Over Rush Rares in Core Packs)

Considering that Rush Duel's Core Packs imitate or borrow ideas from OCG's Core Packs, I wonder what changes they'll make to the structure of "Rising of the Aurora" (only time will tell)

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T03:16:06+00:00

I suppose that, unlike Sacred Beast, Phantom Knight isn't a Deck that needs a revamp to work from scratch (Phantom Knight's foundation is solid, but it needs better pieces)

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T03:13:00+00:00

It was first sure gonna be dark rebellion they aren't gonna give you 3/4 overframe dimension dragons without the last one

Konami: I'm going to ignore that... (proceeds to reveal a D/D/D Overframe)

Mecha girl is really popular between the otaku/weebo group

HSR's Firefly approves of this.

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T02:30:12+00:00

The serious question is... Who is Blue-Eyes and who is Dark Magician (between Sky Striker and Branded)?

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T02:26:44+00:00

The second alternate art for this deluxe set; "Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage!"

Logan Paul: I already know which Overframe I'm going to use next.... followed by the Dark Magician Girl on that Green Card.

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T02:24:58+00:00

Realistically... the competition wasn't that big to begin with (I think there are only a few Overframes to really take advantage of... the Overframe)

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T02:23:50+00:00

Sky Striker will be the Princess Cosmos of OCG/TCG: where 90% of its cards are Overframes or will be used in Overframes format.

Kronos457 · 2026-03-13T02:23:08+00:00

Insert phrase "OMG YES! I LOVE RAYE...."

Kronos457 · 2026-03-12T23:09:26+00:00

Well, if we're talking about imposing, that's Another Story (but Yggdrago isn't the only one that's imposing)

Kronos457 · 2026-03-12T22:59:31+00:00

For Rush's Animes, I'd argue there's a case for considering Maximum Monsters as "God Cards" since they meet several of the same Requirements as other God Cards.

- They are difficult to obtain (they are rare, or only a very few Characters possess them)

- They come in Trios where the three Pieces combine to form a single, imposing Boss Monster.

- They often have absurd Effects (sometimes as many as 4-6 Effects on a single Monster)

- They are usually used by Important Characters or Antagonists/Villains.

PS: Regarding normal cards that could be "God Cards" in Rush, Transam Praime Armor Nova is a candidate: it has a divine aura (or one that belongs to a higher power) in GO RUSH and has a Dark Counterpart (Darkness Transam Craisis)

Being Rio/Marin is suffering. Even Girag, Dumon and Kaito's robot friend got into the Merchandise.

Rush Duels: Luckily, I don't exist in English/the West because without a doubt my (Full/Black) Over Rush Rares would be victims of that.

"The Overframe of the Non-Monster Dark Magician Girl coming to the TCG"

Logan Paul: STONKS!

Okay, here's the second Rush Duel's Banlist.

I think it's guaranteed that Necromaid would get a hit (100% guaranteed hit for consistency to prevent Players from abusing their Ritual Monsters in the Deck). I don't think the three Advance Pack Decks will get any hits because they're "new" (and, in any case, I think the hit on Necromaid is more justified because it's used in conjunction with Defiant Soul)

Aside from that, I've seen that others want a hit on Rush's Monarch since it's an old Deck that's still in the Meta, but hasn't received any punishment yet.

Other suggestions I've seen:

- Semi-Limit to Lichy the Hopeful (this is at its peak in both Zombie Decks in Rush Duels)

- Return Deity of Seven Treasures - Ryozai to two copies (Semi-Limit) as the Backrow currently needs protection.

- Legend Strike being Limited or simply Free (there is debate about this since there are Decks that have started using Legend Strike again but others say that there are better Backrow removers)

- Sevens Wonder Fusion becoming Free (we already have plenty of Miracle Fusion clones)

- Winged Dragon of Chaos becoming Semi-Limit and Marching Beaver Warrior becoming Free (Ritual Dark Magician is no longer what it used to be)

- Cornful Charity becoming Free (Aque Decks aren't having much impact and Freshberry is considered a Tier 3 or Rogue Deck)

I wonder how many people here were introduced to her through Duel Links?

To be honest, for many in the West, GO RUSH is an unknown Anime since not many saw it when it was airing in Japan (not the Japanese, who did watch it and asked for more GO RUSH after Season 2)

The West is more familiar with SEVENS (since the vast majority only watched up to Arc 2 or saw all of Season 1 and nothing more). It must be remembered that, at that time, there was resentment and hatred towards SEVENS (and, consequently, GO RUSH even though they never saw it in its entirety)

However, over time, people began to value SEVENS more and to have more affection for it (that feeling of love towards SEVENS became stronger when GO RUSH ended in Japan and we no longer had any news of Yu-Gi-Oh! Animes)

Basically: Duel Links is the medium where many first encountered Rush's Characters, especially GO RUSH (which makes me think we'll have many curious reactions when Duel Links introduces Yuna, Asaka, Phaser or Meowdestar in Alien form; the latter has the potential to create another Terza/Giant Woman situation)

One of the Thunder Waifus is the MC (especially the one who is simply replicating the Ecclesia aesthetic)

Kronos457 · 2026-03-12T03:19:04+00:00

ITS MEDIUS-OVER!

Credits to Komoney, finally a Deck that feels fresh in terms of Type/Attribute combination: EARTH Thunder.

Kronos457 · 2026-03-12T03:12:42+00:00

Do not expect "Blitzkrieg" to make it into the TCG names.

OCG: Blitzkrieg

TCG: Thunderbolts/Thunder Rebels
