the karakuri archetype


Recommended Posts

In this set, they're reprinting Mechanical Spider as Karakuri Spider.

At first I though this archetype was dildoes. But then I realized that they had their own Stratos that can search for Spells and Traps as well and their Geartown as well.

The Showdown Castle is pretty lulzy since it turns all Karakuris into GK Assailants and (lol) makes Mechanical Spider useful.

They didn't remove anything.

Since Mechanical Spider isn't in the TCG yet, it doesn't have an official name there. Thus, there's no need to put Mechanical Spider on all the cards, when there isn't a Mechanical Spider card to begin with. If they were to print it, at this point they'd just name it Karakuri Spider and be done.

What the Wikia puts in it's translations to cover the names it gives cards that aren't in the TGC means nothing to Konami.

when cards that aren't in the TCG have appeared in games, but that may mean nothing to konami either
(my arguement over before we start.........)

I figured it was probably in a game somewhere, but that doesn't change the fact that it's not in the TGC. Even if Konami cared about what name it had in a video game, they're not going to print the semi-official name of a non-existent card on all the new stuff. If they release it now it'll be called Karakuri Spider, and the Mechanical Spider part will be redundant, otherwise we will continue to not have it. Either way it won't be an issue.

I only like 339, 236 and 00 in terms of their monsters. The rest don't seem too good.

Interesting naming scheme they picked for the English versions. Not translating "Karakuri", translating the second word just fine, adding "mdl" (obviously short for "model") before the number and putting Romaji for all of the numbers in quotations... If you really think about it, all they really did is add "mdl" and repeat the number a second time. However, unlike Gyakutenno Megami ("Goddess of the Turnabout" if translated the way Ace Attorney does it) and Koa'ki Meirus ("Core Chimail", or something like that), this wasn't just laziness be the translation staff and was done stylistically.

i just looked on the wikia and it seems that mechanical spider is confirmed for the set but it's name is karakuri spider just as everyone thought

It is listed as Karakuri Spider in Tag Force 5 as well. Oscillo Hero #2 wasn't changed to some kind of "Watt Hero" thing though.

that's because oscillo hero #2 is already released in TCG or something like that, and i didn't know that about karakuri spider, it's because i don't have tag force 5

I would just hope they'd be a little proactive. Regardless of it already having a release in the TCG, if they know it should be renamed, they should just do it regardless o.x

They did this for Amazon Archer eventually, the point here is that we have to wait for an Oscillo Hero #2 reprint for that to be corrected.

i doubt oscillo hero #2 will get a reprint with a different name

Amazoness Archer/Amazon Archer did. All they have to do in this case is add "Watt" somewhere. "Watt Hero" could work, along with a ruling that they are both the same card like what was done with After Genocide/After the Struggle.

The point is, it has been done.

i can understand the amazoness archer thing, because the old amazoness support listed "amazon archer" in the effect, so i can understand they added "ess" at the end. with karakuri spider, i thought when stbl that it would be in the set over here, but with OH #2 if we ever see a reprint, it won't be for a few years or so
