Let’s countdown to the big celebration!
ROTA-JP021 地下牢[タルタロス]の徊神 Tartarus no Kaijin (Transient Titan of Tartarus)
Level 9 EARTH Zombie Effect Monster
ATK 2600
DEF 0
You can only use 1 of the (1)st or the (2)nd effect of this card’s name per turn, and only once that turn.
(1) If this card is sent from the Deck to the GY: Send as many cards you control as possible to the GY, and if you do, Special Summon this card, then send cards your opponent controls to the GY up to the number of your cards sent to the GY by this effect. Neither player can activate monster effects in response to this effect’s activation.
(2) If this card is sent to the GY, except from the Deck: You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; send 1 card on the field to the GY.
ROTA-JP026 回猫 Kaineko (Purrfect Lander)
Level 2 EARTH Beast Flip Effect Monster

(2) If a monster(s) is sent from the hand and/or Deck to your GY while you control this monster that was flipped face-up: You can target 1 of them; Special Summon it in face-down Defense Position.
Note: This is a play on 飼い猫 (pet cat). I’m pretty sure this is referencing “Cats land on their feet” as it’s “Turning/Revolving Cat” literally.
ROTA-JP029 ニュービー！ Newbee!

ATK 0

You can only Special Summon with the (1)st effect of this card’s name once per turn, also you can only use its (2)nd effect once per turn.

● Add 1 LIGHT Insect monster from your GY to your hand, except “Newbee!”.
● Place 1 Trap from your GY or banishment on the top or bottom of the Deck.
ROTA-JP044 至鋼の玉 ルーベサフィルス Shikou no Gyoku Rubisapphirus (Rubisapphirus the Jewel of Maximum Mohs)
Rank 9 EARTH Rock Xyz Effect Monster
ATK 2700
DEF 1600
Materials: 2+ Level 9 monsters
(1) Gains these effects based on the Attributes among its materials.
● FIRE: When this card declares an attack on a monster with higher ATK: You can make this card’s ATK become doubled until the end of the Damage Step.
● WATER: Once per opponent’s turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 card you control; negate any card or effect your opponent activates this turn that targets that card.
(2) If this card would be destroyed, you can detach 1 material from it instead.
Note: Shikou here is a play on 至高 , i..e. supreme/supremacy, but replaces the second part with ‘steel’, i.e. ‘this stuff is really tough’, and the Mohs scale is the measurement of toughness in rocks and minerals.
Sapphirus is Latin for Sapphire.
ROTA-JP067 共闘闘君 Kyoutou Toukun (Token Alliance)
Continuous Spell Card
You can only use the (1)st effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) You can Tribute any number of Tokens, then target 1 monster you control with 0 ATK; it gains 1000 ATK for each Token Tributed (until the end of this turn), also it can make attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase this turn up the number of Tokens Tributed.
(2) At the end of your opponent’s Battle Phase: You can Special Summon “Alliance Tokens” (Beast/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) up to the number of Tokens destroyed during this Battle Phase.
ROTA-JP080 火器の祝台 Kaki no Shukudai (Slapdash Summer Schoolwork Success)
Continuous Trap Card
Activate this card by placing 5 Success Counters on it.
(1) If a monster(s) is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, and/or a card(s) is sent from the Deck to the GY, by a Spell/Trap effect: Remove 1 Success Counter from this card, then, if there are no Success Counters on it, destroy it, and if you do, gain 4000 LP, then Set 1 “Schoolwork Success” Trap from your Deck or GY, then, if you have 1 or less cards in your Deck, you win the Duel.
Note: This is the only card with Shukudai in this spelling so it’s the only Trap of itself that can be searched so far.
Note: This card is both ‘Fireworks Celebration’ but also more critically is referencing 夏期の宿題 (Summer Homework), as Japan loads students with schoolwork to complete through August.

interesting new win con
What happens if Tartarus is one of multiple mandatory monster effects, and you activate Tartarus first? Does it prevent their activation?
yes
but if you have multiple mandatory effect triggers off the mill that sent Tartarus to the GY there’s literally no reason not to have Tartatus go last and chainblock all of them from a potential ash, belle, etc
Why wouldn’t it?
Is firework celebration a reference to july 4th? If it is that pretty cool 🌞.
Yea they’re referencing the famous Japanese festival 4th of July, the only celebration to have fireworks
It’s most likely a reference to Obon, they do those from time to time. It would be a lot more fitting given that’s a holiday that’s actually happening soon.
I like my theory better, so are you going to buy something or what?
Justin Jones is a known troll. Goes by Stardust Dragon, Centurion Legatia, etc. Best not to interact.
Shenanigans is a known crybaby. Always deflects because he knows no one loves him. Best to just leave him alone.
The comments section was a mistake
Very funny. But, @Justin Jones is not me. Besides, I don’t post on every articles. Like that guy claims. I don’t troll people on here. Since it is not fun. Plus, idgaf anymore. So… People like shenanigans, Shhh! Justin and I are not the same person 🤦🏻
Typical troll-crybaby. I don’t wanna babysit you. So… I’ll ignore you for good 😉
LETS GOOOO ZOMBIES EATING SOOO GOOD MAN
Lol, both Justin Jones and legatia have the same IP. U ain’t fooling anyone.
There is no Flip Effect listed for Kaineko?
funnily enough, not all Flip monsters have Flip Effects. The ones that don’t are very rare, but they do exist and this is one to add to the list
Subterror monsters mostly lack flip effects, but play the flip summoning gimmick. They don’t need it anyway.
Am I missing something or does purrfect not have a flip effect?
Flip monsters don’t need flip effects, Aroma Jar and deus-x krawler are examples of flip monsters without them
Guardian Sphnix would like a word with you.
It has an effect that works off of it having BEEN flipped face-up, like Aroma Jar does; in this case, the (2) effect of Kaineko is a Trigger Effect that goes off only after it was flipped face-up prior, again much like Aroma Jar’s own second effect (Jar’s goes off in each End Phase, Kaineko’s goes off if something gets pitched from hand or Deck).
Core set can afford to have 6 fusion monsters but not a single Ritual.
No one play Rituals lol.
Only relevant ritual is drytron lol, even then, they are rogue at best now. Died easilly if you disrupt their boards, during their turn. Weak to stun decks.
@justin Jones say hello toy little friend I ritual summon skull guardian of the voiceless voice!
I’d hope these aren’t all the remaining cards, otherwise we’d have quite the letdown
All cards from ROTA-JP are revealed.
Oh i dont know, it did say the remaining cards but they (big yugioh news site) might be wrong, never know
New Zombie be frighting
Also Called it on FIRE + Water Support
That Xyz is a nice boss for True Kings.
That Tartarus guy is scary.
Could that zombie lvl 9 have a place in new zombie lightsworn?
Ah, yes, the pack filler
No Clear cards womp womp. Surprised frost & flame not dragon is not rank 7 to go along with the fire king/atlantean hybrid enjoyers. After all these years Konami had the kahunas to release the milll yourself win condition though not as flashy as “if you cannot draw a card you win the game.” Still waiting on win conditions for having an obscene amount of life or deck size.
? I was referring to Clear World.
The amount of cards in your deck should be like a trap card with a lingering effect that says something like if from the activation until the end of the end phase if you have precisely 60 cards in your main deck you win the game. Then you need a way to shuffle all your stuff back. I do not know if it’s manageable. For the life points how much were you thinking? Like 100k?
@Ciccio Localized Tornado can shuffle the cards in your grave and hand into the deck, so you only need a way to destroy it before it resolve and not have any main deck card on the field or banished and you can have your deck at full size again…
“You can target 1 card you control; negate any card or effect your opponent activates this turn that targets that card.”
A lot of older cards would’ve liked this wording. No, forget older cards, Maiden of the Millennium Moon should’ve had this wording! Along with no choosing a specific card(s) on the field arbitrarily not targeting and less hexproof in general.
“At the end of your opponent’s Battle Phase: You can Special Summon “Alliance Tokens” (Beast/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) up to the number of Tokens destroyed during this Battle Phase.”
This is better flavor for Multiply than ocg Multiply.
a flip monster without a flip effect?????????/
Pretty decent cards, according to Master Duel Meta players. Not great, but not terrible either. The xyz one is a generic water/fire support… Although it suports fire more than water, mostly due to slightly better fire effect, and fire types prefers higher ranked xyz monsters.
Water monsters mostly prefers rank 4 or 5 xyz monsters. Most water xyz builds run mainly rank 4 or 5 [xyz monsters] only. Although the xyz’s effect pretty decent for water types, not great, but not terrible either.
why would anyone ever care what a Master Duel meta player thinks?
These cards will come to MD, so of course it is important😅. Don’t be a crybaby. They are rogue cards you know. Newbee! might see play in spright, since they focus on rank 2 or higher xyz monsters, and of course links 😅. So, I don’t want to spoil this detail, best go there yourself.
Great place to get deck recipes lol. Even made Watts deck recipe based on the MD Meta articles… Only for funsies, as Tea would say… Anyways, go check it out! 🙂
i dont think you know what a “rogue card” is, so no, i will not be “checking it out”…..
Already enough?
What kinda bs are we going to see with that schoolwork trap card on LukeVonKarma’s channel when it hits Master Duel?
Only one way to find out, play it on your deck. I’m serious! It is not joking at all. That is the only way to see it first hand. Better than see videos of others doing it imo
Its a SUCCESS for NEKO, NEWBEE was emprisoned to TARTARUS by RUBISSAPHIRUS but with the help of TOKEN’S ALLIANCE, NEKO saved her.
LONG LIVE TO NEKO
The Xyz is amazing looking. A card for Generaiders also.
God! now they want Rebarian Shark and RUM Astral Force in Merlantian cuz of that xyz
oh it’s earth and rock, nevermind
Huh. Just these ?
