A holy warrior so beautiful she brings nations to their knees.
VJMP-JP277 熒焅聖 アレクゥス Keikokusei Alekus (Alekus the Shining Stunner Saint)
Level 5 LIGHT … Effect Monster
Supports your strategies with its varied effects
Synergizes with the newest pack releasing this June
Reveals July 7th, 2025
Note: This card uses two extremely rare Kanji that are basically more Chinese characters than they are Japanese. The first means Dazzling or Shining among other uses (basically of a display of crossed torches), while the other refers to simmering, boiling or stir-frying something (Though I’ve been told the second Kanji is apparently an ancient way of saying “Mars” as in the planet).
The card’s Kanji Furigana vaguely sounds similar to 傾国傾城, i.e. a woman so glamorous as to bring ruin to a country (castle) as its king (lord) is captivated by her beauty.

Well at least it’s not a Waifu monster.
Wait til we get the alt art and its another Sky Striker girl
Venom, genuinely please grow up
Now it a hubby deck for female players now thy get there own thirst traps 😆🤣😂
Have Chronicles support cards been confirmed for DOOD? It’s very Tri-Brigade/Dogmatika coded.
Insert the Lorax “that’s a woman?!” meme. XD
Alekus gonna bring the king to his knees with her stir fry recipe.
With this card, that’s 6 monster promos in a row that are either DARK or LIGHT with only Drawbread in between. Feels like the other 4 Attributes are only an afterthought sometimes.
*VJump monthly promos.
Also forgot the Amulet Trap after Drawbread. But that’s 8 months: 1 Spell, 1 Trap, 4 LIGHT monsters 2 DARK monsters. You get the point.
Alexander the Great ygo card?
I wonder the if the designers intented Alekus to be “so pretty it hurts” others due that resin/lava around.
It appears he/she/they might be covered in lava or resin.
“I’m too sexy my shirt, so sexy it hurts.”
Gonna go with the name for the western release will be something like: Alekus the “Scalding / Scorching/ Scathing” Hot Swordsman
We’ve already got two unless you don’t count the D/D/D cards
TrapTrix = The Catfished Archtype.
Dogmatika-like clothes, horse pauldron
Fraktall, is this your ancestor?
This VJUMP promo could’ve been a Dark Magician combo starter.
I hope so
More masculine then anything, even their name – alexus – could be alexis (masculine version), could be a man so beautiful he has to hide his own face so twitter cant find him
MTG art strikes back
Why Konami create unwanted random archetypes that waste time. Focus on the Dark Magicians FFS! This is why nobody likes Konami because it takes them 20 years to print out new good support for Dark Magician! It’ll take another 7 years to catch up to Blue Eyes because they’re so pathetic.
Red-eyes players: first time?
Valkyrie players: did you get a “first time”?
Ah yes, Konami should focus on the underrepresented archetypes like Dark Magician…not like they get support literally every year, sometimes multiple times a year. Like if you were gonna be one of those who cry every time there is a new archetype (which this one card isn’t btw), at least pick an archetype that doesn’t constantly get support to compare it to.
Konami clearly has no idea what they’re doing. They’ve had six anime series (not counting the Rush Duel stuff), yet consistently treat the anime archetypes like trash. What was the point of building those stories, characters, and decks if they’re going to release support once a decade—and when they do, it’s weak, outdated, and completely non-competitive?
Meanwhile, they endlessly push meta junk like Sky Striker, Kashtira, and whatever flavor-of-the-month deck breaks the game next. It’s frustrating. The anime decks deserve real support—not just nostalgia scraps.
Dark magician literally just got support with dark magician of destruction and those cards
pack releasing in June? there is only Tactical Try Pack releasing in June…which give us new DM, Hero and Mikanko…
Yeah, I got nothing. Not sure what this will support
Card looks too cool imo. Watch it be Medius the Innocent support lmao
How does this card work with DM Mikanko and HERO?
Is this… a country-ruining beauty? But instead of an hot evil fox lady like Daji, its a saint? Huh.
I hope it supports spellcasters generally.
