Ah yeah, these guys.
Most forgettable YGO! Villains ever.
On the other hand tho, this card is scary. There’s a lot of WATER monsters with low ATK that can be abused with this card and the destruction clause means nothing if you use special summoned monster as material for any extra deck shenanigans or just tribute.
This will definitively be played somewhere, potentially even breaking quite a few decks.
The penguin guy was pretty memorable tbh
The big 5 were arguably some of the most memorable villains in the series, what are you on about?
Don’t know what you mean; the Big Five were pretty memorable, particularly given how eccentric they were, individually and as a group.
bro did u actually watch ygo? out of the 5 elders, this one is the most memorable by far
Virtual World arc is the most underrated arc in the DM series.
This is one of the more memorable Big 5 duelists as he was the comic relief of the group and dueled Tea.
DM virtual world arc sure was like a foreshadow to Vrains in a way
true out of the penguin guy who was memed by LittleKuriboh, the rest of them suck major a–, i wouldve much preferred if they animated YGO-R prior to battle city thus giving them the time to finish battle city and not have done that horrendous virtual word saga, the only good thing that came out of it was that the gang finally dueled instead of just Yugi and Joey, seeing Tristan and Serenity finally duel was cool
I hope we get more of the Big Five’s cards, like Eingana and Defender Iceberg.
I want Ruklamba the Spirit King but as an Illusion monster as it has the Dreams alignment in one of the earlier games.
Oh yeah, that would be cool.
Exactly what I wanted. An unsearchable monster reborn clone with restrictions.
Penguins, PENGUINS!!!
it doesnt help the penguin archetype. its not searchable and monster reborn is way better.
It’s literally a card Crump uses to loop Penguin Torpedo during his Duel with Tea, good lord.
Commenting “Good lord” in response to someone saying that it’s not good at supporting penguins in the TCG seems pretty unprofessional.

monster reborn with a continuous effect
can be used every turn, but also can be “negated” by MST :joy
One you may use every turn!
Get rid of sorching. Embrace the variance of a card game.
Reusable MR that currently is at 3. And you don’t need a lot to make it alive – small Frog engine or something like that funny Maxx “C” clone that was announced few weeks ago in OCG makes this card already alive. And getting free body on the field and not being locked into any specific type, attribute or mechanic is absolutely really good. Free extender like this can turn meh board into actually unbreakable setup or just outright OTK.

That card is banned lol. Thanks to Tackyon
As one of two dedicated Penguin players, I will gladly take whatever we can get. 🙂
I’m the other lol
#WhenGraydleSupport?
No
Yes!
I mean, this certainly feels like an accidental good one. Free mat for Synchros, brings back Cobra so you can Split it without wasting a Normal Summon or part of Jr.’s effect, and if you bring back ‘gator you can just let it lie ’til it dies and you get a free, no-further-input-needed steal.
For actual dedicated Graydle support I’d honestly not say no to an in-house Mother Grizzly of sorts (floats on getting popped) and/or some new Synchros that cover bases that Dragon doesn’t (a Lv5 one for Jr. would be nice), but as support in general goes I definitely don’t dislike this Ocean (though I wish it was a bit sturdier).
Still surprised we haven’t gotten Recycling Plant from the Nezbitt duel. It’s pretty much a Dragon Mirror fusion card for Machines.
Perfect Machine King is not a Fusion in real life and Konami likely understands the implications of a Miracle Fusion for Machines.
I mean, Overload Fusion exists.
But that’s only for Dark Machknes.
@Justin Jones Excuse me, the reply was to “N”, forgot to tag. I mean that a Dragon Mirror for Machines doesn’t look so much better than Overload Fusion to not be made.
Great way to abuse Deep see diva, I guess
deep sea diva only triggers on normal summon
I know that, Mr Smartypants. I mean, this card can revive diva, after you did your first synchro summon, and you can recycle her with this card for synchro summon even bigger monster, lvl 12 Blackwing monster accepts any tuner and non tuner monster, so you can run it, in non blackwing decks.
Unless you are mainly synchro decks. This card is pretty bad. You can run Monster Reborn Reborn at 3x. Great for banishers imo.
so you don’t understand and are talking about a bad combo that will happen once every 54 blue moons, not really abusing it when you can’t search it but yugioh players don’t know how to think well
Not everything in YGO needs to be meta, so stfu on my comments
@Hella stfu and stop replying me
Imagine telling a YGO nerd what to do, I read card effects, unlike you, Mr Smartypants. So gtfo of my comments
Great way to abuse Deep see diva, I guess. Since it has less than 1000 atk
I mean… With this card, you can revive Diva, then if you have 2 synchros on the field, you can burn your normal summon, then synchro Crimson Dragon, using the cards on the field, including the rivived diva as material. So, @Hella, are you think I am too dumb to know this? Pathetic troll
GHOTIIIIIIII
A worse Monster Reborn
For people making a big deal about how awful this card is, it was actually buffed from the anime. Ocean could only summon Aqua monsters from the GY and locked you out of your Normal Summon/Set that turn. Also not every card in here is meant to be good especially as this is a common.
Also it was printed due to both Shark and Ren support over the past year, much like how Mr. 2’s Penguin cards in 2021 tied to Penguin support around that time.
Speaking of which, I wonder when we’ll get the last two Penguin monsters that were teased in the artwork of Penguin Brave. The archetype really could do with a way to search Penguin Garden to add some major consistency. 🙁
Unless you are synchro focused, this card is basically Monster Reborn Reborn, but worser. Pretty decent in water decks, even in Dinomist. Just run diva at 3x and 3x lvl 3 monsters, as engine for dinos. I love pendulum decks, they are fun chessy decks. Not every decks has to be meta anyway
Gishki ayy 🙂
I always wondered why this wasn’t weaved into penguin torpedo instead of the weird homage to revenge sacrifice.
If Ruklamba the Spirit King ever get printed I’m curious if it will be Reptile or Illusion. It was a dream type in Reshef of Destruction.
What the hell. They screwed over the effect. This was supposed to be Aqua support. Konami can’t get anything right.
95% of Aqua monsters are Water Attribute so it’s an irrelevant difference in any Aqua decks, unless you were genuinely waiting for this card to boost your Gunkan deck…which I somehow doubt. :p
But this boosts Ursarctic which desperately needed more extension
They pulled this same stunt with Ice Knight and yes, I did want to run it in Gunkan!
Somehow my Laundry Dragonmaid is happy
Another AC for the history books. You could’ve filled 29 slots on cross-promotion cards alone. The number of themes eligible for the few anime exclusive slots in ROTA is absurd.
filler alert
I’m weirdly happy with this. The card is terrible but I’ve been enjoying all of these Big Five cards showing up in Animation Chronicle. I continue to hope that it eventually leads to the ritual alt of FGD being printed.
We still need WIND Nightmare Penguin for lore purposes. Wait, ROD Nightmare Penguin buffs reptiles too? How deep does the lore go!??
