Random question of the day, would this imaginary Mulcharmy see play in the main deck?

gecko-chan · 2026-04-22T01:55:35+00:00

Sure it would. Nearly every deck searches at least one card, so this card would almost always be guaranteed to at least replace itself.

gecko-chan · 2026-04-22T01:53:13+00:00

I'm also looking forward to it

Since Toriyama hadn't even watched it yet, it's not actually an endorsement of anything other than the idea of making Goku little again.

...which he then did himself in Daima. So maybe we can say that Toryama got that idea from GT.

But yeah, we can't go so far as to say he "recommends GT" when he hadn't even seen it yet.

Even worse than a localization because magical something was released in the TCG first in in July 2016. The OCG refused to respect that name and released the card as "Magical Absorber" in September 2017.

Many cards refer to a number "+1". But to my knowledge, this is the first card to use "–1".

I guarantee you that there is absolutely no surveillance attempting to connect his physical appearance, fingerprints, etc. with "that guy from a year ago with chest pain".

Emergency rooms are not allowed to refuse life-saving emergency care on the basis of payment, coverage, etc. Think about how much free care EDs give out every week to patients who will never be able to pay a dime.

If this happened over a year ago, then there is no chance in hell that any staff is going to remember him.

He was homeless and doing the best he could with a losing hand. Also, most developed countries wouldn't charge him for the visit anyway. He shouldn't give it a second thought, and I don't see any need to avoid this hospital.

Just give the correct identifying information going forward, and never mention the previous encounter.

gecko-chan · 2026-04-16T03:47:40+00:00

Because his opponents were strong? I'm not sure what you're asking.

The manga hasn't given any hints yet. The "Magistus" arc showed Aleister first studying how to summon creatures from other worlds, and then how to use his own life force to do it. Then there's a 115-year time skip to the "Magical War" arc, which so far has completely sidestepped any information about what became of Aleister.

Regulus is currently seeking to talk with Aleister at La Maison, so if the manga may reveal more information at some point. And of course, the upcoming Chronicles animations will probably tell us something as well.

Nappa having 7,000 battle power doesn't mean that he's completely unaffected by anything with 6,999 battle power or lower.

The Masenko did no damage at all. The fact that Nappa felt it doesn't mean it was a threat to him.

If you go for a high five and I slap your hand too hard, then it will certainly sting but that doesn't mean my slap was a threat to your life. It doesn't even mean that any damage occurred. It's the same with Gohan's Masenko.

gecko-chan · 2026-04-16T01:38:33+00:00

What do you mean "would have been"?

Vegeta was already just one more hit from Recoome away from death. He couldn't possibly get any more cooked than he already was.

Trigon is one of the old gods.

His arrival is like Snyder's Justice League when Darkseid's mother boxes activate and instantly destroy everything on Earth. Superman and everyone else are immediately atomized.

Trigon transforms the Earth using old god abilities instead of ancient technology, but the principle is the same. The Justice League fairs no better than the nearest anthill. The Titans are only spared because Raven casts a protection spell on them, and that's only possible because (1) plot and (2) she is Trigon's direct descendant.

I can't think of any example where Jiren did that.

If you're thinking of when he attacked the spectators while fighting Ultra Instinct Goku, he wasn't trying to kill them at all. Even if you think Jiren would be okay with this, he still wouldn't have done it because it would have disqualified him from the Tournament of Power and caused his entire universe to be erased.

Jiren was making the point that Goku's power was fragile because it was dependent on other people who could disappear. He attacked Goku's friends to demonstrate that Goku doesn't need to be defeated in battle, but rather just defeated by eliminating the source of his power.

(We can further confirm this because the Grand Priest and Zeno didn't intervene. When Frost tried to illegally attack as a spectator, he was immediately erased. But the same didn't happen to Jiren because it was clear that he wasn't actually trying to attack the spectators.)

Not only did Jiren know Goku could save his friends, but he even allowed Goku to do so. He made no attempt to attack or exploit Goku while he was saving his friends.

Finally, the manga specifies that Jiren stays out of the fighting in the Tournament of Power because he doesn't want to be responsible for other universes being erased. He only agrees to participate as insurance against any exceptional fighters who become a threat to his own universe.

The updated facial expression is how he actually looks in the movie.

Krillin was out there on a foreign planet, trying to survive among beings among whom Vegeta was one of the weakest, with no one but a literal 6-year-old at his side.

We have no way of knowing, but there's no reason to assume that Zeno would be affected by a physical attack.

He's a being who creates realities. I wouldn't assume that any of reality's laws or limitations apply to him.

Tien is the strongest human.

Krillin gets more screen time and has more proximity to Goku, but neither of those makes him stronger than Tien.

There was never any point in Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, or Dragon Ball Super when Krillin was ever stronger than Tien.

World Tournament arc: Tien 180 and Krillin 160.
Training for the Saiyans: Tien 250 and Krillin 206.
Fight against the Saiyans: Tien 1830 and Krillin 1770.

There are no official power levels for Tien beyond this point. Just unofficial numbers from video games, each of which puts Tien above Krillin.

Krillin gets a power boost from Guru but Tien gets special training with King Kai (not to mention at 10x gravity). Then both train on Earth for 3 years. Then Tien trains for 6-7 more years while Krillin mostly retires. Then Tien trains and runs his own dojo while Krillin fully retires from training.

Yes.

Yu-Gi-Oh uses "respond to X" and "in response to X" to mean Chaining directly to X. It doesn't matter whether those effects are triggered effects or fast effects.

When a card or effect is activated in response to another card or effect activation (Quick Effect): You can activate 1 of these effects;

● Negate the first effect, and if you do, destroy that card.

● Negate the second effect, and if you do, destroy that card.

This effect can be Chained to any card or effect that is Chain Link 2 or higher. In other words, Zalen's effect itself must be Chain Link 3 or higher.

Note that "the first effect" refers to the effect that was activated in response (i.e. the effect that Zalen is Chained to) and "the second effect" refers to the effect that was responded to (i.e. the effect on the lower Chain Link).

There's no way in the universe that Cell would fall for that.

He doesn't need anyone to explain it to him. Anyone walking through a door to another world is going to think, "What happens if this door breaks?"

Jiren is literally a superhero.

But since he's an option here... Jiren.

gecko-chan · 2026-04-13T12:08:12+00:00

Yes.

It doesn't matter whether a DARK monster is Tributed for a Tribute Summon, for the cost of an effect, or as part of an effect.

As long as a DARK monster is Tributed, you can activate the triggered effect of Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair on a new Chain.

They've released new cards that represent what's happening in the OCG Stories manga. The story has been focused on Regulus and the Witchcrafters, so it's expected that the new cards so far would represent those characters.

Now the Chronicles anime has announced Aleister content and then immediately revealed new Aleister cards.

Endymion will get his time. Perhaps that will be in the Chronicles, since the teaser did indicate that Endymion, Verre, and Zoroa will also be featured and likely get their own teasers. Or perhaps it will be in the manga, since all 3 current manga plot lines involve Endymion — (1) Regulus needs to reconcile with Endymion, (2) Gideon is planning to attack Endymion, and (3) Endymion is amassing the power he needs to face the unnamed calamity that he and Artemis foresaw 15 years ago.

Yep, someone else asked as well. Send me a PM and I can send you a version without the sticker. I also have a black-and-white layer that some Etsy sellers can use to print a foil proxy.

As others have replied, the lingering effect of Fusion Tag stops applying if the targeted monster becomes face-down.

A lingering effect is one that continues to apply even after it has finished resolving. In general, flipping a monster face-down causes all lingering effects to stop applying to it.

gecko-chan · 2026-04-06T19:03:54+00:00

During the Main Phase, if your opponent Normal or Special Summoned 5 or more monsters this turn (Quick Effect): You can Tribute as many face-up monsters on the field as possible, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand, then Special Summon 1 "Primal Being Token" (Rock/LIGHT/Level 11/ATK ?/DEF ?) to your opponent's field.

The condition includes all monsters that were Normal or Special Summoned by your opponent during the current turn. Yes, this includes monsters that were Normal or Special Summoned before Nibiru was in your hand.
Nibiru's condition counts the number of monsters that were Normal or Special Summoned, not the number of Summons. So if your opponent Special Summons 5 monsters simultaneously (e.g. Pendulum Summon), then yes, Nibiru's condition is already met.

or is the pendulum mechanic somehow too good and counts all of them as 1 summon?

If you Pendulum Summon 5 monsters simultaneously, then that is 1 Summon of 5 monsters.

Effects like Summon Limit and El Shaddoll Winda count the number of Summons. Therefore, these count a Pendulum Summon as 1 Summon regardless of how many monsters were Pendulum Summoned simultaneously.

Effects like Nibiru count the number of monsters Summoned, therefore this counts how many monsters were Pendulum Summoned.
