Duelist Kingdom arc only
During your Main Phase, you can activate this card from your hand. After activation, you can Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (100 ATK/200 DEF). While this card is face-up on the field, all Dragon-Type monsters disappear. This card gains the total DEF of all monsters that disappeared by this card's effect while it is treated as an Effect Monster.

FLIP: Destroy all face-up "Dragon Capture Jar"(s) on the field. If you destroy any, change all face-up Dragon-Type monsters on the field to Attack Position.

 

 

Duelist Kingdom arc only

When this card is Flip Summoned or changed from Defense to Attack Position: Select 1 Dragon-Type monster that disappeared due to the effect of "Dragon Capture Jar"; Special Summon that monster and destroy the "Dragon Capture Jar".

 

 

Discuss if the anime versions are any more useful than the TCG versions.

What is "disappear"?

Considering this is Season 1 we're talking about, they disappear and moments later they re-appear inside the jar (with a puff of smoke ofc).

 

I assume it means banished. Though I got no idea, as I don't know the episode it's from.

Episodes 2 and 27, the dragons got sealed in that jar.

For the time of it's creation, dissapear could have meant "banish".

Banishing wasn't abundant enough for developers to really have a term thought out for it.

 

Nowadays, because there are lots of cards that can recover those "dissapeared" dragons, I'd say it's no longer the most accurate way of translating it.

I'd say "attach to this card" is the closest thing.

 

 

I think it at the very least would be more flavorful. Also, lol at an 7500 DEF Jar.

I'd have fun doing that effect. It'd probably be borderline deck killing

 

Dragon Piper would be a bit useless. "flipped face-up" would have to be the phrase used there.

Season 1 had no rules, because Kaiba.

Ironically, Kaiba is the one that made the specifics in the rules later in Battle City.

Also, kudos for him that he actually was impartial and honorable enough to not make the rules easier for him to Summon his Blue-Eyes.
