Unleash Justice with “Centurion”! [DBVS]

No magical girls? No mechs? Let’s fix that! TOGETHER.

Note: Centurion is the term for a commander of a century, a military unit consisting of 100 legionaires.

DBVS-JP016 重騎士(センチュリオン)プリメラ  Centurion Primera
Level 4 LIGHT Spellcaster Tuner Effect
ATK 1600
DEF 1600
You can only use the (1)st and (3)rd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 “Centurion” card from your Deck to your hand, except “Centurion Primera”, but you cannot Special Summon “Centurion Primera” for the rest of this turn.
(2) Your Level 5 or higher “Centurion” monsters cannot be destroyed by card effects while this card is treated as a Continuous Trap.
(3) During the Main Phase, while this card is treated as a Continuous Trap: You can Special Summon it.

Note: The Kanji 重騎士 reads reads as Heavy Cavalry/Heavily-Armed Knight. Primera probably derives from Primarius, Latin for “first”, “chief ranked”, “excellence”. She’s probably a reference to the term ‘Primus Pilus’, the term for a senior Centurion.

DBVS-JP017 従騎士(センチュリオン)トゥルーデア Centurion Trudea
Level 4 DARK Pyro/Effect
ATK 1000 DEF 2000
You can only use the (1)st and (2)nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) During your Main Phase: You can place this card you control and 1 “Centurion” monster from your hand or Deck, except “Centurion Trudea”, face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as Continuous Traps, but you cannot Special Summon “Centurion Trudea” for the rest of this turn.
(2) During the Main Phase, while this card is treated as a Continuous Trap: You can Special Summon it, then you can increase its Level by 4.

Note: 従騎士 reads as Junior or Lesser Knight. Trudea probably derives from trũdъ, a proto-slavic word meaning “Labor”/”Effort”. Either that or it’s “Trudis”, a metal pole in Latin. Though it might be for some screwy reason, a reference to Mother Trudy, i.e. Frau Trude, a Grimm Fairy Tale. Trude itself is a German name meaning “Strength”.

DBVS-JP018 重騎兵(センチュリオン)エメトＶＩ Centurion Emet VI
Level 8 EARTH Machine Effect Monster
ATK 2000
DEF 3000
You can only use the (1)st and (2)nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) During your opponent’s turn, if this card is in your hand or GY (Quick Effect): You can target 1 “Centurion” monster you control, except “Centurion Emet VI”; place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Trap, and if you do, Special Summon this card.
(2) During the Main Phase, if this card is treated as a Continuous Trap: You can Special Summon it.

Note: The Kanji (重騎兵) reads as Heavy Cavalry. Emet probably comes from ēmeritus, Latin for “Earned”, thought it likely comes from Emeterius, one of two Roman legionnaires who were ordained as catholic saints and martyrs. Emeth is also the word “Truth” used to give life to a Golem.

Note: The Kanji (騎士魔防陣) on this card reads “Knight’s Magical Defense Formation”. Phalanx is Latin for “Battle Order/Array”, but specifically referred to an interlocking formation in which heavy infantry used polearms and shields, usually forming a solid wall of shields behind which they could poke. (‘Hoplite Phalanx’).

DBVS-JP024 騎士皇爆誕(トゥルース・センチュリオン) Truth Centurion
