Number C88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo

[Toffee.]

Anime effect: 4 Level 9 monsters
Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. This card is unaffected by other monster effects. If this card is Xyz Summoned by Ranking Up "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo", it gains this effect.
● Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 4000 damage to your opponent. During the end of each turn, if this card has no Xyz Materials, you win the Duel.

Guys. I'm scared.
I mean, Destiny Leo, by itself, was pretty crazy with it's IRL version- I'm shuddering at the fact it's IRL effect will only be an improvement of that. Or at least, what I'm thinking it will be.

I swear if the mega burn effect is a non-Rank-Up effect...

[Azuh]

Wow, the real life card seems to have a massive slab of text. Obviously full of restrictions

[Delibirb]

And with one card, Gimmick Puppets may become three times more relevant.

 

Number 88 was already the best alternate win condition there was, because it was a legitmate option that could be achieved, but wasnt at all sacky and could be stopped. But this man, this might be insane.

 

I mean, you may not even need the alternate win, just that 4000 burn is gonna do it for you having only to fear Spell and Trap cards, and any numbers stronger than itself.

 

But yah, as stated above, that wall of text might as well be a complete remodel of the original effect. Almost certainly wont have 4000 burn if any, and will be significantly harder to get off its win.

Since the anime effect inflicts 4000, I feel like it would be reasonable to guess that the mega-burn effect will be nerfed quite a bit. Rather than 4000, I think that a burn of 2000 might be reasonable, since, if it were directly ranked up from Destiny Leo, it'll have 4 Xyz Material, so it'll have the option to just kill the opponent off with burn damage (2000 four times...8000). That said, I think it'll probably come along with a lot of the restrictions Destiny Leo had; probably it won't allow you to attack with it or whatnot, and that you won't be allowed to control any Spell/Traps. If it has the immunity to monster effects like it did in the anime that would be quite scary.

So it's getting released? Cool. Hmm...I have no idea what the RL effect would be. After all, No.88 did the Destiny Counters thing for the win condition, and had a bunch of restrictions on when you could use that (no S/Ts on Field, no BP that turn). I think they might keep the megaburn effect to some degree. Maybe burn 1000 x the number of Overlay Units or something.

As someone else speculated, it might inflict 2000 damage instead of 4000, it might have the "no backrow" + "no BP" restrictions, and it might need 4 "Disaster Counters" on it to win the Duel.

Course it is. No way a Number C wasn't, especially one that almost did in the Emperors. 

 

I'm not sure what they'll do either, but I hope it keeps monster immunity and does at least some of what the anime did. Obviously "run out of Material to win" doesn't work with how Number Cs normally do, but maybe they'll do something different like C101. Who knows.

[goddamnit names are a pain]

Guys, guys.....

 

Remember what happened when big ol Number 92 got his C form released? Same thing here. Nothing to see, move along.

[evilfusion]

That'd be conflicting, though.

 

The Chaos Numbers in the anime didn't require the original form to be an Overlay Unit. It just needed to have been Ranked-Up with it. As such, C88 could detach its Overlay Units to trigger the instant win. This would not work with the RL version, because if you have to detach 1 to gain a Destiny Counter, and you need No.88 to use that effect, you will probably have to detach 88 itself at one point, which means it'll lose that part of the effect.

 

Of course, that's assuming its effect says "If you have 88 as Material, it gains this effect: Detach 1 to add 1 Destiny Counter. When you have 4 Destiny Counters, you win".

 

But also, the anime version just needed Overlays to 0 by any means. It only detached to burn for 4000. Destiny Leo's anime effect was "detach 1 for the hell of it. When you have 0, you win".

Big ol Number 92's anime Chaos form sucked, too. In fact, the RL version is almost identical to the anime version. C88 was actually GOOD in the anime.

if this card is going to get released, and is going to be keeping the when 0 you win, then it stands to reason that it being a once per turn effect to remove, and it's going to burn in exchange for your turn's BP, and if you go to bp first, you can't, by wording, use the effect. which would be fair.

and with the number having so many materials, it's once again a legitimate way to win still, you pop one off with leo ( hopefully) then rank up into this and pop another off, so your still on the same turn limitation, just have an easier time winning with it by allowing backrow or having some sort of self protection

I doubt it'll literally require you to have 0 Overlays. Anime Destiny Leo and C88 both went that route, but the TCG Leo had the Destiny Counters shtick specifically so you couldn't abuse it with revival or effects that detach Materials (Xyz Gift/etc). And because they need an effect to be worthwhile to Rank Up 88 instead of just using 88 itself, I'm not sure they can do the Destiny Counter route.

This thing can OTK against an empty field using Oni-Gami Combo, and if your opponent somehow survives you sack them anyway.

N88 is now playable whatthefuck

Oh, I didn't even notice that. Disregard my prior statement.

[evilfusion]

WTF?

 

You must use Rank-Up Magic on No.88, and can't Summon it by anything else. Okay. It detaches 1 to burn by 1000. It can't be targeted by card effects. And if your opponent has 2000 LP or less and this has no Materials, you win. During the End Phase.

 

Actually, that's kind of cool. Except for No.88 sucks...

[Maeriberii Haan]

I guess using 88 for this is quite worth it though.

The show's animation did not do it justice...

I really like it.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

To be fair, unlike most burn monsters, you can still attack with this card.

Xyz Territory actually works really well with this guy. Seriously.

How does an Awesome-looking-machine-with-a-sword-but-crappy-card turn into this lion-decent-unrelated-card?
I get the Leo. But that's about it.

It's shed its humanoid form in favour of a stronger, more beastial form.
