Do not eat the bugs.

The TCG premiere theme, Beetroopers, will be arriving at the OCG via the World Premiere Pack 2022. The forced reading is still “Beetrooper”, but its written in Kanji as 騎甲虫. Individually, these read as “knight” + “armor” + “insect”. The first two seem to be a pun on 騎行 (kikou) which means “horseback riding”, and the last two for the word for “Beetle”, similar to the Inzektor theme (roughly “beetle-themed machines”).
