Number S39: Utopia the Lightning


Recommended Posts

I could see the 2-detach being the actual translation just to piss me off.

The Xyz Change condition doesn't make sense though. The manga had it go up from Utopia Prime to this, and Prime is Rank 4. I know prints aren't going to follow exactly how it was done but usually cards like these fit those aesthic purpose.

 

Yeah, it's really weird flavour-wise, but gameplay-wise, it makes some sense; with this Summoning Condition, it doesn't outright outclass Ray V and Victory, and you can't just plop this behemoth on top of standard Utopia or Utopia Roots without any drawbacks, but it unfortunately makes the card much less playable than before.

 

I'm not sure which one I should go with; this one or the Org one (that is, the one in the OP).

If it's Rank 5 Utopia then it's garbage
If it's a Rank 4 Utopia then it's purely okay because it's going to be used for an Armades in certain match-ups. Has no built-in immunity and you can't bring it out vs something like Midrash so it's like oki.

Put both.

It might need a Utopia of a specific Rank?!

 

If it's 4, then it's still great and makes sense. Otherwise, it's terrible and illogical. I see it requiring a 4 because then it's a Rank-Up of either Utopia, Utopia Prime, or C39, while barring V, Victory, itself, and Beyond from becoming this.

 

I'm worried it's 5, though, because that would explain why it prevents itself from being used as Xyz Material. Take note that No.95, which used Galaxy-Eyes Xyz, also cannot be used as Xyz Material (and Full Armor can't use itself).

You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a {Rank 5} “Utopia” monster you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) This card cannot be used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon. (1) If this card attacks or is attacked, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage step. (2) If this card has a “Utopia” monster as an Xyz Material, when this card battles a monster, during damage calculations: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card’s ATK becomes 5000 during that damage calculation only.

 

The Org Page currently has this as the effect. So the Rank 5 part is probably accurate.

So it probably needs a Rank 5, and only detaches 1.

 

Hmm...so to use this AT ALL, you need to run a Rank-Up Magic for Victory or V.

 

Which actually wouldn't be that terrible, since Hope Dragon can be Summoned by using any Utopia and ditching a RUM, plus it can Summon Numbers from the Graveyard. But it would drastically hurt this card's usability.

It's possible Konami is keeping their options open in case they choose to release Shining Force as a Utopia RUM.
