Photon Circler (vs Reverse Buster)


Recommended Posts

Can't believe this is getting produced over Reverse Buster.

Effect: Halve any Battle Damage you take from battles involving this card.

Yep, you read that right. That's it.

Complete waste of space in Order of Chaos, that has only be included due to its name (not that it offers any support for the archtype). It's like your wimpy, nerdy, snot nosed cousin you only see seldomly and your parents have to make you be nice to and play with.

Further discussion/rage/scoffs of derision at my rage/whatever.

What is this I don't even.
Seriously, what is the point of this card?

This basically. Although Reverse Buster kinda was to as it broke Astral's early defensive mindset, but at least it had the decency to be... you know... good.

I naturally assumed at first this would have another effect that it hadn't had chance to use in its anime appearance. It might not (?) be too late for it to gain one now. But it probably won't.

As for Reverse Buster making ORCS, well we know the set number order is Yuma's monsters, then Shark's, Kaito's, the archtypes, singles, and then the same for Spells and Traps. With this in mind...

([b]Bold[/b] are confirmed, [i]italics[/i] are assumptions)

[i]001 Vanilla monster or another new monster for Yuma. Kuribolt probably.[/i]
[i]002 Same as above, probably Dododo Warrior[/i]
[b]003 Gagaga Girl[/b]
[b]004 Gogogo Giant[/b]
[b]005 ZEXAL Weapon Unicorn Spear[/b]
[i]006 Sharktopus, the only new monster that appeared in Shark's duel with Kaito and is garunteed to be produced, either here or 007 depending on above, meaning...[/i]
[i]007 Reverse Buster??? Given the established order, it can only go here.[/i]
[b]008 Photon Lizard[/b]
[b]009 Photon Slasher[/b]
[b]010 Photon Crusher[/b]
[b]011 Photon Leo[/b]
[b]012 Photon Circler[/b]
[b]013 - Armoured Ninja Flame... and so on down[/b]

That's my logic, it depends on which monsters of Yuma's will make it and if they want to do vanillas.

Now Konami, think carefully about this. Do you think we want a) Vanilla? B) Kuribolt? or c) Reverse Buster?

Photon Circler is just a plot device. It served 2 purposes.

1) Reducing Astral to <1000 after Galaxy-Eyes banished Number 39
2) Halved the damage so Chaos Number 39 didn't take out all of Kaito's LP (although Kaito's expression was hilarious when Chaos Number 39's effect was used)

It's a Photon, so it's being released alongside the other Photons.

But Reverse Buster was cooler.

Yeah, and I totally understood that purpose in that duel at the time, as it would have all the little kids going 'yay, Astral's going to win (especially with Kaito's acting :D).

And initially I had no problem with it being released, as I was expecting it would have another effect added to it (like Gagaga Girl say) that would support the archtype in the OCG (like Photon Lizard does... sort of).

But they haven't done anything with it at all, and its only been released because of its name. Which is pointless when its gives no support to the team.

Only reason I'm bothered is because I actually have Reverse Buster pencilled in for one of the main characters of my next fic (non-archtype deck) and I reallllllllllllllllllllly don't want to use Anime exclusive cards this time. Because some of the ones I had to pull out where just really situational and bizarre (which does break the monotony of Mirror Force, Dimensional Prison, etc, but you can see what I mean). And I would definately run Reverse Buster in a deck for casual play.
