There is way too much memeposting going on in this episode’s cards.

スイングバイ・アタック Swing-by Attack
Normal Spell Card
【REQUIREMENT】 None
【EFFECT】 Choose face-up 1 monster on each side with the same Level. During this turn, your monster chosen by this effect can attack directly.

Note: This card is referencing the concept of a Gravity Assist Maneuver, i.e. a Swing-by maneuver.

ダークネス・ジョインテック・タイラント Darkness Jointech Tyrant
Level 7 DARK Machine Effect Monster
ATK 2500
DEF 0
【REQUIREMENT】 During the turn this card is Normal Summoned, if you do not control a face-up “Jointech Nestrider Tank”.
【EFFECT】 Choose up to 2 Level 7 or higher monsters in your GY and add it to the hand, then, until the end of the turn, this card’s name becomes “Jointech Nestrider Tank”.

フェイクネッツゾーン Fake Net Zone
Normal Spell Card
【REQUIREMENT】 If there is a Level 4 or lower monster(s) in either GY, send all 4 or more cards from your hand to the GY.
【EFFECT】 Return all Level 4 or lower monsters in the GYs to their owner’s Decks, then, you can draw cards [equal to the number of Level 7 or higher monsters sent to the GY for this effect’s requirement].

Note: This card is a play on Shinjitsu Netsuzo’s name (“Net Zo” sound close to his name). Netsuzo means “To fabricate/fake”.

メチャンコ・フュージョン Mechanko Fusion (Xztreme Fusion)
Normal Spell Card
【REQUIREMENT】 If your opponent controls a face-up Level 7 or higher monster.
【EFFECT】 Fusion Summon by sending face-up monsters you control to the GY as material, also, during this turn, the monster Special Summoned by this effect gains 700 ATK.

Note: Mechanko is basically slang for something extreme/big/great/amazing/terrible. Basically hyperbole. So I’d suggest going for Xtremely Kool Letterz.

7のツキ Nana no Tsuki (The Seventh Month)
Normal Spell Card
【REQUIREMENT】 Send 1 to 2 Level 7 monsters from the hand to the GY.
【EFFECT】 Choose up Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls up to [The number of monsters sent to the GY for this effect’s requirement] and destroy them. If you sent 2 monsters to the GY for this effect’s requirement, then, you can draw 1 card.

Note: This is a reference to Nostradamus’ famous King of Terror prophecy which claims the King will appear in the 7th month of the Year 1999. Considering it’s Nomurandamas’s soul card of sorts, uuuuuh. I think this is self explanatory. “But why isn’t it Moon”. Moon is how Japan writes Month. Month is just warped from an older word for Moon.

バクハンスド・アセンション Bakuhanced Ascension (Blasthanced Ascension)
Field Spell Card
【REQUIREMENT】 If your opponent controls a Level 7 or higher monster(s).
【EFFECT】 While this card is face-up in a Field Zone, players can Normal Summon Level 7 or higher monsters while there are no Level 4 or lower monsters in their GY.

アビスカイト・レイ・モノクローム Abysskite Ray Monochrome
Normal Trap Card
【REQUIREMENT】 When an opponent’s monster declares an attack.
【EFFECT】 Choose a total of 3 Level 4 or lower monsters among the GYs and shuffle them back into the Deck, then, the attacking monster loses 200 ATK x [The total Levels of the monsters returned by this effect] until the end of the turn.

Note: I’m pretty sure the card is a play on Tremolo’s name. (Te Ra Mo Ro)

トランザム・プライム・アーマーノヴァ Transamu Praime Armornova
Level 8 LIGHT Galaxy Effect Monster
ATK 2500
DEF 1600
You can also Tribute Summon this card in Attack Position using either 1 or 3 monsters as Tributes. If you Tribute 1 monster this way, this card’s original ATK becomes 1800.
【REQUIREMENT】 None
【CONTINUOUS EFFECT】 This card Normal Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters gains 100 ATK x [The total original Levels of the monsters Tributed for this card’s Normal Summmoned].
