Blake Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Pics link to cards.Well, I realized there's a level theme here.8: Ptolemaios is a Rank 4 with extended summonability. 4 + 4 = 8, in theory. This is a bit weak, but makes sense with the others. It also appears to be made from Capella + Sombres, ironically.9: The last El-Shaddoll is all but blatantly Trishula/Shurit. But what if it's good!Trishula, where Shurit (TCG name) merged with Core/Naga? Not much more to the theory here.10: Ulti-Gaiapelio11: Nekroz of Sophia12: ????But that's not all.We have Qiuniu and Fuxi. These are purified versions of Taotie and Jiaotu, respectively. The names Qiuniu and Fuxi are the modern versions of Taotie and Jiaotu, so they're the same name but updated.I originally thought it would either be Qiuniu + Fuxi (9) or 11 (Baxia + Fuxi), but I realized... the latter can't be.First off, Baxia no longer exists. He was Chiwen + Bi'an + Suanni. Suanni was corrupted alongside Pulao, and they became Taotie.Even if that wasn't the case, Chiwen is implied to have become Aethatellarknight/Aesatellarknight Zefrathuban, and Chiwen is the tuner 'required' for Baxia.So, let's go over the Yang Zing:Chiwen -> ZefrathubanSuanni -> Taotie (w/Pulao) -> Qiuniu (w/Zefra Power?)Bi'an -> nothingBixi -> Jiaotu (w/Shaddoll Squamata) -> Fuxi (w/Zefra Power?)Pulao -> Taotie (w/Suanni) -> Qiuniu (w/Zefra Power?)Baxia = Chiwen + Bi'an + SuanniYazi = Jiaotu + TaotieSo... Bi'an is really high and dry. He's the least relevant to the story, even now. We've yet to see anything from him, other than his Creation and Baxia. Well, there's something interesting here. We have 2 new Yang Zing... both of which are purified and Zefra-fied versions of the once Shaddoll-infected Suanni/Pulao and Bixi. We've seen Pilica had a hand in saving her friend Wen(dy)... So maybe Bi'an did something for his corrupted allies. Maybe he, say... Became a tuner thanks to some outside power, which could be what Fuxi simulates, and took the charge to stop and save Yazi. Which, between the level theme that appears to exist with the final bosses + why Bi'an is apparently the only YZ unimportant to the story... He had a major hand in saving/purifying his 3 allies, brought them back as his fellow EARTH spirits, then became one with Suanni/Pulao and Bixi, the original 4 non-tuners (now independent of Chiwen/the evil tuner to bind together due to Bi'an evolving somehow, either by Fuxi's new strength or Fuxi showing what led to his salvation) to make a level 12. This would be originally 10 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4), but the purification gave them +1 level each, so it becomes 3 + 3 + 6 = 12. So, let's take the level chart from earlier and fill it out.8: (Plane)Tellarknight Ptolemaios9: El-Shaddoll [Trishula]10: Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio11: Nekroz of Sophia12: [Bian-based Yang Zing Synchro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expelsword Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Don't forget Infernoid Lilith. It's pretty clear what everyone expects her to do, but she is supposed to be in CROS, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Don't forget Infernoid Lilith.It's pretty clear what everyone expects her to do, but she is supposed to be in CROS, right?She is, but she doesn't really apply here.Nehemoth is still the (intended) boss. Lilith is a technical step down. She's a boss for sure, but more akin to an Apoqliphort than what I'm going over here.Which is the hero groups' final installments (and dolls, but Ohr/Naga are good guys so we COULD see a good El-Shaddoll).

Darj Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just a minor nitpick, but I would say Ptelomaios has more elements from Sacred Omega than Capella, although they all share a similar cape/cloak. Anyways, the theory of getting a boss for each archetype, all of them with different levels, makes sense, but I doubt Konami would dare to make this El Shaddoll Trishula non-WATER and conflict with the flavor around the rest of the El-Shaddolls. I think it is more probable to get a Level12 El Shaddoll, perhaps that rumored El Shaddoll Tierra, leaving the Level9 spot to the Yang Zing boss, who could be a Synchro of Quiniu + Fuxi: 3 + 6 = 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pchi Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I hope we DO get Tierra in this set. It'd be pretty anti-climatic to finish this installment of Duel Terminal's storyline without a whole new Big Bad Boss. And speaking of endings, what do you think comes next after CROS? Are they going to introduce a new chapter in DT's saga, or are they going back to the old scheme of only releasing unrelated themes in the main sets? Or maybe they will give more focus to anime cards while keeping a healthy amount of support to preexisting themes, types and attributes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Also, I still expect that Level 12, they could make it a 9, say Bi'an gave its life for the other two (hence EARTH), and then make Evil!Trish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Or we could get: The Level9 WATER El Shaddoll Trishula The Level12 LIGHT El Shaddoll Zefra'd boss Plus yet another El Shaddoll for some reason, the Level11, to fill in the blanks. But 3 more El Shaddolls may be pushing it too far. Unless the make the Level9 the Zefra'd boss, and the Level11 WATER, but I don't think there are any Level11 WATERs in DT to "hijack". Anyways, researching on the Counter Trap artwork, it depicts the Dragunity Lance, and through the Yugioh wikia I learned it appears on an Infernoid Trap as well. I wonder what's exactly its role in the storyline, and if or how it is tied to these CROS bosses. Pointing this out because it could be related to the discussion.

Darj Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Well, they don't have to release 2+ El Shaddolls in the same set, don't they? They could very well release the rest in the following set(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
