Noroi sounds so cracked wtf
Symmetrical docking
Noroi is their go to Normal Summon now and giving you early hand knowledge is bs.
Jacks is decent for VSK9 builds.
Never thought I’d see the day when N uses profanity 😂
We running this in VS K9?
Jacks probably but Noroi is much more of a boon for pure K9 given that it takes up your normal summon
Probably just the Rank-5 if anything, double, even triple pop with the QP on the span of two turns is nice. Noroi is a NS for Pure or what, Crystron K9 since it’s an Earth Machine.
in the span of 3 turns, you can still use it only once even if it used a different triggering condition
The XYZ looks like a rejected Crystron tbh
uhm.. my only problem so far is that the xyz doesn’t look as hard as the other k9 xyzs
Yeah, it supplement to more beat stick for K9 boss monster looks likely
Will be interesting to see who the tcg deal with the satanic name lmao.
Actually, they left in that number completely untouched in the English flavor text of Qliphort Monolith.
So are Jokull and Lantern one entity or what’s going on with the xyz?
ok I don’t think the TCG has what it takes to leave Jacks’ unit number untouched in localization
Actually, they left in that number completely untouched in the English flavor text of Qliphort Monolith.
I know this game doesn’t care much the connection between a monster’s type & it’s design sometimes… But how is Noroi a machine? it’s just a person in a costume that doesn’t even have a machine like appearance on that part either. Side note, it looks more like a mega evolution Digimon. Haha~
Probably because Noroi’s power comes largely (or entirely) from his armor, so in the context of this card he is assigned the Machine type because that is what defines his/her thematic identity. Often the logic behind assigning types is based on more symbolic aspects or in relation to indirect characteristics
So K9 not just dealt with furries but also spiritual beings ? Wtf
Lopus and Hound had already established a precedent that the rival faction is inspired by mythic creatures (werewolf in their case). I also don’t know to what extent 666 is truly a spiritual being, considering that he seems to rely heavily on technology before and after transforming
I mean the new Level 5 design is based on onmyoji.
They probably won’t mess with the number
