Overlay Connect [ANIME]


Recommended Posts

Target 1 Xyz Monster you control that has no Xyz Material; attach this card to that target as an Xyz Material. During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard because it was sent there to activate that target effect: You can pay 1000 Life Points; attach this card to that target as an Xyz Material.

 

Certainly an interesting card, but I don't think it'll see much play if it gets released.

 

discuss?

If they changed this in the OCG to work like Breakthrough Skill and/or Skill Successor, I'd run it in decks like Constellar or Evilswarm. Short of that, it's better than Instant Overlay at least.

Also, yet ANOTHER card with a previously non-existent monster on its art.

 

Justified only if we assume that the Barians created it. Unlike Yuma, who exists in the human world and therefore all his cards should be coming from human resources, the Barians seem quite capable of literally creating their own cards.

Which would be fine, except he set Overlay Connect long before the Rank-Up, and it's implied Chaos Numbers don't exist until the original gets Chaos-ified.


Shark was a Barian before his current life. He started out as a human, died and became a Barian, Vector killed him and he reincarnated as a human again. I'm pretty sure he already had 101 in his previous life.

The entire concept of where Xyz/Chaos Xyz come from is extremely vague. They really ARE produced out of nowhere, but the player Summoning them always seems aware of the effect before Summoning it.

 

Although seriously, it'd be hilarious if a character did the huge dramatic Summon, only to read their new Xyz's text. "Oh...that doesn't help at all".

 

I suspect that the Barians know what Chaos Numbers they have, the same way they know what Over-Hundred Numbers they have. After all, they already HAVE Rank-Up Magic - Barian's Force in their Decks.

 

Characters like Yuma, who get his upgraded Xyz due to plot cards/events, have less of an excuse. Although...C39 - V is an interesting case. It used Limited Barian's Force, and Shingetsu knew C39- V's effect.

 

But here's another angle. The Astral World condemned Chaos power, isolating it in the Barian World. Whenever Barian's Force is used to make a Chaos Number, including Chaos Over-Hundred Numbers, there is a shot of a chained door with the Barian emblem on it, which then breaks and opens, even if the Chaos Number has been Summoned in previous Duels. The Numbers come from the Astral World, being fragments of Astral's memory, and they had also seemingly been sealed behind the door seen in episode 1 that Yuma opened with the Emperor's Key.

 

Barian's Force seems to be the key to opening the Barian's version of the door, and behind it are the sealed Chaos Numbers. Chaos Numbers, being representatives of Chaos power within the Numbers, would have been exiled from the Astral World and into the Barian World. Therefore, the Barians probably do know about the Chaos Numbers, and they're not so much "created" at the time of Rank-Up, they already exist, but are sealed. 

 

C39 - Victory is unique, in that it's still a Chaos Number, but it used Numeron Force, which is a purified version of Limited Barian's Force. This Chaos Number didn't come from the Barian door, evidenced by the lack of Chaos Overlay Units and Barian energy within its body. C39 - Ray, and C32 - Veiss also weren't Summoned via Rank-Up. Where they came from is not fully known. But their creators were Astral (Astral World power) and Shark (...Barian power)

I mean, all you need is some paper. Not that hard. Aren't we all on YCM as well, creating digital cards? XD

 

Well, I think this card is actually pretty decent. I would run it to keep cards like Acid Golem and Utopia up and running. 1000 LP is a little steep though, but better than 2000.(Acid Golem)

IV's new Chaos Numbers only confuse the issue further. They appear to be made of Varian energy, but use regular Overlay Units and do not use the door. Chaos Field produced Varian-Style Chaos Numbers, down to the Chaos Overlay Units, but also do not use the door.

 

Good point. Well, I did note that Barian's Force/Limited Barian's Force specifically opens the door. Chaos Field and Argent Chaos Force doesn't open the door, but...hmm...tsk. Confusing and a touch annoying.

"Continuity? What's that?"

 

The show's actually decent with continuity much of the time. They just rarely explain things fully, which is why I "annoy" people with walls of text analyzing aspects that are never really explained. It's funny when I'm actually right, or close to being right.

 

For example, I theorized that Number 96 was a rogue Number that eventually became Don Thousand. I was REALLY close.
