Alpakha Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120911215707/yugioh/images/thumb/3/3c/Imairuka-REDU-EN-R-1E.png/300px-Imairuka-REDU-EN-R-1E.png[/img] Off topic but fun fact: It's name is a play on Umiiruka (the lesser used water field spell) and Iruka means Dolphin in Japanese (although it looks like a shark to me). Honest, i love Water monsters, i don't know why i just do and an umi deck was the first one i used. Now finally the art, to me it looks like she/he is taking a picture (using his/her fins as a frame then snapping the shot). This pic to me is one of the cutest known to yugioh. Now for ur opinions, interpretations, etc. p.s. i was gonna do Little Penguin, but i guess that will be another time (< lol, spoiler). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKPLANT RISING Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Fun fact: TC doesn't know Japanese "Umiiruka" literally means "Sea Dolphin". "Umi" is "Sea" (as you could probably guess from the Field Spell chain), and "Iruka" is "Dolphin". It makes no grammatical sense, however. "Imairuka" can be interpreted in two ways: One as in "Now Dolphin", as "Ima" means "Now", and another as in "Are you here right now?" as "Iruka" also means "Are you here?" Its name is in no way a pun of Umiiruka. It's just a random rhyme-sorta thing that makes no sense in English. OT: I'd rather use...dunno, anything, really.

Lonk Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 It's definitely a half-baked card. Maybe it should have spent a bit more time in the oven for ABYR, you know to give it a better effect. Then, it wouldn't have looked like this.

[/quote] >.< I copied that from wikia and you're lecturing me on it.... (anyone here says it's plagiarism, then i'll take it off). Anyway, the card effect isn't great but that is not important (as this thread is about the art). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 The card is amazingly underwhelming. It doesn't even deserve playtesting to prove that. Scalangel and Dekoichi are superior in the sense that they are guaranteed to pull their effects. Any Lightsworn is supperior in the milling aspect, on top of having actually useful stats or effect (like Lyla) This is a lame 1 card mill, with a 50/50 chance you might draw a card in a dedicated WATER Deck. Also, you get no real chances to play with it's effect to your advantage. The FLIP-Draw cards can at least make a casual attempt abuse of the effect by flipping again with other effects, but this cannot possibly do that unless you get a stupidly easy way to recycle it, which would probably have better targets to pick anyways, and wouldn't really be something good for the game. It's picture looks like a mentally challenged creature rather than "cute" to be honest. I have nothing against weak-ish cards as long as they have a place, but you are not really likely to use it with Diva. I'll give it to them that it doesn't care how it gets destroyed (just like many cards lately have been doing this because card removal effects just have become that common).

Alpakha Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well, i see the maturity the audience and will choose a more 'deeper' art topic next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
