Kendochourai
Normal Trap Card
You can only use the (2) effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) Activate this card by targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; treat this card as an Equip Card that makes that target gain 500 ATK/DEF, and if you do, equip this card to that target.
(2) If this card is sent to the GY because the equipped monster leaves the field: Draw 1 card if this card was not activated this turn, but if this card was activated this turn, apply the following effect instead.
● Draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card.

NOTE: The name of the card is a pun on the expression 捲土重来 (kendojuurai or kendochourai) which means attempting again with redoubled efforts. The etymology of the word is basically “shroud”, “dirt”, “again” and “coming”, resembling a defeated army attempting once again while arising from a cloud of dust from their previous failure. Except instead of dirt, this card is using 怒 (anger). So instead of simply being covered in dirt, this new attempt is being made while shrouded in anger.
