Oriannis Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Homunculus The Alchemic Being Lore: Once per turn. you can change the attribute of this monster. Well if this isn't a reference to Full Metal Alchemist then I'm not sure what is. Are there any other "reference" cards? I know this may not even be playable but even the flavor gives it away.

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well, Homunculi and the concept of alchemy have existed for much longer than Full Metal Alchemist. I will say that the design is similar, though, to the theme of the anime/manga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suibon Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's got a metallic arm and leg. It's probably changing in bodily form. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's probably changing in bodily form. Probably. He was saying it has one in regards to it being a reference to FMA. Probably is, given how Konami makes references all the time. Hell, Spellbooks are Persona 3 acted out, sooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

玄魔の王 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 He does vaguely remind me of Greed with his carbon trick, but being a Plant is just weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 [quote name="Zeppeli Gyro Supreme" post="6369296" timestamp="1394922925"] Uh, what?[/quote] What did I say that's unclear? The Fool grabs a random Spellbook (Master) while fighting against a sneak attack by Endymion and his forces. Upon opening the book, its dark arts consumed him and he unlocked the power of the Death arcana, becoming Reaper. In the fight against Endymion's forces, he repelled Endymion and his forces in his transformed and darkened state, at the cost of his life (Judgment). So his allies pulled the power of every other Spellbook and Member of Prophecy together in order to revive him with the power of his bonds with them and each other (Miracles). Upon revival, he is transformed into The World, his ultimate and true final form. I forget the exact Lore, though I read it on NAC before, but that's the gist of it. It's not 100% Persona 3 because it is a Yu-Gi-Oh! lore story, but it's close enough that it's not a coincidence. [spoiler=Found It] The boy magician “Fool” spends his time carefree. … Despite becoming a member of the highly prestigious “The Grand Spellbook Tower”, the boy known as The Fool spends all his time there without even having a Magical Terminal. However, one day, the king of the Magical Citadel of Endymion (Endymion, the Master Magician), who also sought to unify all knowledge of Magic but feared the growing power of “The Grand Spellbook Tower”, led an complete invasion on the Tower. [Fool of Prophecy] A carefree boy, but “Hierophant of Prophecy” directly approved his joining the facility. Corrupted by Black Magic While many of the staff sacrificed themselves midst the invasion, “The Fool” grabbed a random magical terminal seeking power, and ended up accessing “Spellbook of the Master”, a high level Spellbook that bring out anything in a Magician, ranging from their best to their worst. However, he unleashed and was consumed by extremely wicked magic inside “Spellbook of the Master”, corrupting and transforming him into “Reaper of Prophecy”. As a result, he went on a rampage. [Spellbook of the Master] The magic inside the “Spellbook of the Master” is powerful enough to overtake its user, even if they are gifted, which is why “The Fool” ended up consumed and corrupted by its power. [Reaper of Prophecy] He was changed into a wicked sorcerer who rains death upon everyone, regardless if they are friend or foe. The Boy who became “The World” Due to the huge damages inflicted on them by “Reaper of Prophecy”, Endymion and his forces withdrew, but Reaper was on the verge of death due to the out-of-control magic he was using. “Hierophant” and “Empress”, unwilling to stand aside any more, were determined to try and save his life by exorcising the black magic inside him by amplifying the Light Magic that existed inside him all along. At the end of the intense conflict between Holy and Wicked magic, he ended up being revived in a miracle. [Spellbook of Judgment] [Spellbook of Miracles] [World of Prophecy] Through the ritual “Judgment”, Fool was able to overcome the Dark Magic that turned him to Reaper, and became “The World”. [/spoiler] But between World, Judgment, and Miracles' artworks, you caa clearly see it involves all of the members in some form or another.

OmegaWave Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 HEY LOOK! He used alchemy to turn himself into Giant Soldier of Gold. DID ANYONE IN FMA DO THAT? HUH?! No seriously, did they? Haven't watched much of it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Honestly, I don't think it's anymore a reference to FMA then someone yelling "Friendship!" is a reference to MLP. That could just be me though. It's got a metallic arm and leg. On the same side of it's body. Edward had them on different sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignis avis Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Homunculi are artificial life created by Alchemy. Generally from plants altered to act like wombs. This card being a plant type is a reference to that. And saying this card is a reference to FMA is like saying Alchemist of Black Spells, Dimensional Alchemist, Golden Homunculus and any other card that references alchemy is a reference to it. Alchemy is an ancient magical science that dates back thousands of years. It's not just something from FMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
