Your Fusions are all Rituals<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Konami’s Yugioh-card website has a news article up that confirms the name “Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio” for the Secret Forces Booster set. <\/p>\n
For those who haven’t been following the Ritual Beasts, their Japanese names creates a complex naming structure, where the ritual beast theme is technically comprised of several sub-themes. To summarize:<\/p>\n
Ritual Beast -> the shared name of an Ainu-themed “Contact Fusion” archtype.
\nRitual Beast Tamer -> The Psychics who commune with nature and command the ->
\nSpiritual Beasts -> The Main-deck creatures of various types. They combine together to form
\nRitual Beast Ulti-[Apelio etc] -> “ultimate” forms of the Spiritual Beasts.<\/p>\n
Due to this naming scheme you are not allowed to use “Ritual Beast Ulti-” monsters [the Fusion bosses] as fusion material for other “Ritual Beast Ulti-” monsters (Except with the tentatively named “Bond with the Ritual Beast” Spell Card).<\/p>\n
This doesn’t change how they’ve been used up to this point in online simulators. We just finally have an English name to call the fusion monsters. <\/p>\n
They be Rituals.<\/p>\n
