[SOFU] New Link monster name guessing


Recommended Posts

If you plan to survive, you gotta take YGO less seriously.

I'll survive as I am sure there won't be that many outliers like this... I just don't get this design in particular. It seems wayyy out of place, but I guess we gotta make room for some fat, sun-kissed thunder god rocking some pink flippers and a snorkel... Yeah because that is what the general demographic of Yugioh really wants!!!

You say this as if Yugioh hasn't had goofy-ass designs since pretty much the beginning. I'm pretty sure you might just be out of touch for what the general audience is and what they consider cool. Because hey, a lot of people can enjoy and like silly designs like this.

Well perhaps I do have a bias as to what general audience is like... But, I mean come on this looks like something SexuaLobster (aka Greasy Tales) from Youtube would make on his spare time. Zany is okay, but I think there is such thing as a design being too zany for the likes of this game.

 

At the end of the day... I do understand I have no choice, but to accept it for what it is. Personally, I don't care for it design wise.

 

P.S. Watch it is going to be an exclusive Link for Thunder-Types... And all Hunder, Batterymen, Thunder Dragon, and possibly Watt players are going to have to settle with that whether they like it or not.

And I think you're wrong. I think taking a break from the 3edgy5me designs to make something fun and silly like this, or doing a name like Toadally Awesome, or an archetype gimmick like Fur Hire is essential for keeping a game like this interesting and fun. I have a ton of respect for a designer that can just have fun with their designs, and this card is no exception.

SOFU-JP049 常夏のカミナリサマー Tokonatsu no Kaminari Summer (Kaminari Summer Vacation)
Link 2 LIGHT Thunder Link Effect Monster
ATK 1600
Links: Bottom Left, Bottom Right
Materials: 2 Thunder monsters
(1) Once during each of your opponent’s turns (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card, then target 1 non-Link Thunder monster in your GY; Special Summon it to your zone this card points to.

 

Note: This card’s name is a play on カミナリサマ (Kaminari-sama), another name for one of the Kami of Thunder in Japan, Raijin, and the word サマー, which is naturally, Summer. Tokonatsu refers to the seemingly endless days of Summer (especially vacation in August) for Japanese folks.

 

So basically it’s Raijin/Kaminari-sama on Summer Vacation.

 

Also his pink flippers are because Tokonatsu is an old word used to refer to Pink, apparently.

 

Above is from the Org.

 

Well, that's a lot of things at once, Japan really loves their puns. Anyway, the card itself is probably to support Thunder Dragon, but seems rather slow in a Deck that already difficult to play, not sure that it's worth it for them, though perhaps Batteryman or Hunders can use it, I don't know, but regardless, more Thunder support, hurray!

Solar Batteryman can totes make this on its own using itself and a Token it generated, plus this can trigger Solar's effect, too, if you so choose.

 

>Summon this using Solar and its Token as Link Material

>Use its effect to revive any "Thunder Dragon" monster that hasn't used either of its effects that turn from the GY
>Use this + the revived "Thunder Dragon" to Link Summon "Summon Sorceress", and triggering the "Thunder Dragon"'s effect

>while Sorceress is pointing to a Thunder-Type, SS another "Thunder Dragon" whose effect to wanna use.

>Banish the SS'd Thunder Monster for Superbolt (assuming you used a "Thunder Dragon"'s hand effect earlier

>anything else????

>profit(?)

 

EDIT: Welp, I didn't see the "during your opponent's turn" bit, so I guess that dampens this thing's effectiveness....

Being Thunder exclusive... Called it. Great now I get to disdainfully use this eye sore in a few thunder decks in mind being that it is decent effect wise. It has an easy make option being "Photon Sanctuary" since the Tokens are Thunder.
