INFO-JP052 影法師トップハットヘア Kagehoushi Top Hat Hare (Top Hat Hare the Silhouette Magician)
LINK-2 LIGHT Illusion Link Effect Monster
ATK 1500
Links: Bottom-Left; Bottom-Right
Materials: 2 Effect Monsters
You can only use the (1)st and (3)rd effects of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) If this card is Link Summoned: You can Set 1 Continuous Trap directly from your Deck that has an effect that Special Summons itself as a monster, also this card cannot be used as Link Material this turn.
(2) If this card battles a monster, neither can be destroyed by that battle.
(3) If a card(s) in the Spell & Trap Zone is Special Summoned to the Monster Zone: You can target 1 Spell/Trap your opponent controls; destroy it.

Note: 影法師 means literally Silhouette or Shadow Figure, and is usually read as Kageboushi. We think it’s also alluding to 方士 (An ancient Chinese sorcerer) or 法師 (A Buddhist Priest), but considering it’s literally a stage magician, Magician works better.

INFO-JP079 影帽子 Kageboushi (Silhouhatte)
Continuous Trap Card
You can only activate a card with this card’s name once per turn.
(1) Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Illusion/DARK/Level 4/ATK 1500/DEF 600) with these effects (it is also still a Trap).
● If it is Special Summoned: You can target face-up cards your opponent controls up to the number of Illusion monsters you control; negate their effects until the end of this turn.
● If this card battles a monster, neither can be destroyed by that battle.

Note: Silhouette like above but the Boushi here is 帽子 (hat).
