BUY ZEBRAS! (Can you guess the card's name?)


Recommended Posts

Hey, fellow duelists, it seems Konami is trying something new for today's card reveal:

They posted this card pic on their Twitter this morning, but covered up its name and lore. Apparently, they want us to guess its name, but I don't know whether the "winner" will get a prize or not. You can bet your asses is some ridiculous Japanese pun, but since I'm far from being expert on the topic, I'll leave that to my fellow forum members versed on JP. Make your bets!

Japanese for zebra is "shimauma"; I suppose one could make an island reference or something [because shima can translate to such], but picture suggests that's not the case.

 

The first name that sprung to my mind was Harmonic Zebra for some reason, dunno why though.

 

Probably because it's playing a harmonica in its artwork (though there's a triangle on its tail).

Maybe it's something related to music, but I have no idea.

 

If its effects were shown, maybe we could have a better guess at it.

As for the Majespecter thing, it doesn't even look like one, least of all, it can't be P-Summoned with them or use their supports.

Wonder what made them think of that idea.

 

@Voltex: Probably it might, but it's a wild guess at this point, since we know nothing besides its Attribute and stats.

New Age Retro Zebra?

I don't understand how something can be retro and new age at the same time XD

But I hadn't noticed before that it was playing instruments. Could it be related to Synchros, given the current packs have been centered around that mechanic and Synchros' frequent music motif?

Whatever it is, I think it has to do with the fact it is playing badly.

The rest of the effect box might even be a reference to that.

 

I'm gonna give it a wild guess and say it might be a Pendulum Tuner because Tuners sometimes have something to do with music or at least sound waves, but the Level pretty much sucks for generic use because as far as I've seen, only the Magicians I've seen with Scale 1 cards that could Summon this back.

Yokoshimauma
Dark Beast / Pendulum / Effect
PS7 LV2 0/2000
Pendulum Effect:
(1) Once, during the Main Phase of the turn this card was activated: You can select 1 unused Monster Zone or Spell & Trap Zone; that Zone cannot be used while this card is in the Pendulum Zone.
Monster Effect:
(1) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can select 1 unused Monster Zone or Spell & Trap Zone; that Zone cannot be used while this card is face-up.

*Notes:

1. Yokoshima means wicked, shimauma means zebra.

2. The Pendulum Effect doesn’t say once per turn, but I went ahead and added it because I really don’t think even Konmai is crazy enough to create something that says your opponent literally cannot play YGO just by virtue of activating it right there. Let’s pretend this is bad text and hope for the best.

 

Oh fun, an indirect Ojama support, being a Beast-Type, it works very well with them

 

Didn't want to make another topic since this one exists.
