By day: Clown, by night: Animal Rights Activist
“Behold the Release Show of the Century!”
Clown Clan Whiteface
The troupe leader of the eccentric circus troupe “Clown Clan”. While mesmerizing audiences with the breathtaking combinations with his magical beast companions, he also frees magical beasts from cruel and vicious circus performers. Some magical beasts are so enamored by his charisma that they wish to join the “Clown Clan”.
Note: V Jump is conflating the mechanic “Release” (Tribute) with Whiteface rescuing beasts from bondage.
The Beast-Warriors are referred to as the “Four leading actors who color the stage”

Japan: “I release you from cruel captivity.”
US: “I will tribute you to my activist cause.”
Also, I guess this is more like if Newt Skamander from Fantastic Beasts was a clown.
I don’t mind if they change names, but I can’t stand artwork, are they trying to gaslight us that women with large breasts don’t exist?
The main purpose of this deck is to make your opponent salty by drawing infinite cards from your deck.
He’s just a chill guy
Years ago I was not happy about how we didn’t have any Circus-themed archetype.
Now we have Entermate, Entermage, Entermachine (still unreleased so far I think), Abyss Actor, Amazement, and now Clown Clan. We are good.
Abyss Actor are more generally about theatrical stuff and Amazement are about Amusement Park stuff. They are clown-adjacent but I would not call them Circus-themed.
What the heck is entermachine
the right term would be performing arts themed. abyss actor and (surprise!) despia are under theatre/stage play. amazement is immersive arts. clown clan and the enter-archetypes are circus ones
performapal?

I’ll never forgive them for retconning Tatsuya into deskbots.
The story was pretty self-evident from the cards we got
why are we still writing Clown Clan when we already know it’s Clown Crew
because Cu Clown Clan is funnier
“Oh, were you hoping to use those? Sorry, I’ve released all those fusion summoned monsters back into the extra deck.”
So that’s the reason for the second effect. Neat story telling
Ok but what is the flavor explanation for Dinomorphia halving HP?
Makes sense now why they are all Extra Deck from different methods and they cheat themselves out.
I hope Psycho Puppet will be related to the archtype in someway.
Release = Tribute
PETA if they finally accepted they are the entire circus
Why is yugioh lore so shallow?
