Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy


Recommended Posts

2 Level 8 monsters
Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a Spell effect on the field is activated: You can negate that effect, and if you do, attach that card on the field to this card as an Xyz Material. When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; change the attack target to this card and perform damage calculation. If a face-up Xyz Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 Xyz Monster you control; that target gains ATK equal to 1 of those destroyed monsters' original ATK.

So the rank 4 we need to stop boardbreaks, it'll likely replace Felgrand and make the Ariadne build not as sheet like it did in OCG. 

 

Multiple Dinoster be a thing too, also I really think that Luster isn't gonna stay at 1 after this set, esp if you wanna push Gold and Harbinger

 

This set though....jeez, it's BoSH all over

lolDN has this as being able to negate any Spell Card for some reason.

 

Probably because it can.

 

It can negate normal spells, pendulums that don't have an effect on activation (zzzz fu konami for ruling that it can eat monkeyboard before even attempting to activate its effect), quick-plays, effects of spells already face-up. It's a monster.

Maybe cause that's how it works in LolLife?

Then why did I hear that it doesn't, and why doesn't it just say 'Spell cards and Spell effects'?

Black said so once, and you must have missed him admitting he was wrong in the latter pages after the thread devolved

 

I love your choice of the word 'devolved' in that sentence.  But yeah, I don't pay attention to threads after they hit like the 2nd page or so.  Couldn't be bothered to look into them.

I mean that's if they have the wavering eyes

 

You'd probably only have the chance to eat a Pend scale if they activate only 1, if they activate 2 scales there's a possibility of gettig blown out by Wavering Cl 3

 

it's a lot more complicated but it definitely shouldn't encourage you to leave 2 scales up since saving Number 38 for Wavering will still open up a catch 22 where they will be allowed to Pend summon and out 38

He's the thing you often want to overlay your Level 8 Dracoslayers into.

 

It's a Rank 8, it's a Galaxy monster, and it's a Number.

 

Plus it's good. Definitely want this thing.

 

I don't remember if you were one of them, but I remember a number of people hating on this guy and Spider Shark when they were first revealed in the manga.  Nice to see they've come a long way from then.

It's a monster.

Yes. Yes it is.

 

Fortunately (or unfortunately?), no one has yet played this against me (which means I haven't seen it in action). However, considering it's a spell-heavy format, I assume this thing puts in work.

 

Funnily enough, Twin Twisters is what seems to be the biggest trap suppressor right now. I can definitely see a trap heavy XYZ deck springing up sometime with this card as the deck's vanguard to protect from TwTw.

I hated the concept behind them because it contradicted the entire lore of the Numbers.

 

There repeatedly had been said to be 100 Number cards. Until they had found a holder, they were blank, and were molded into their forms based on the desires of their wielder and there often was a lot of symbolism behind the form the Number took, and hidden meanings or puns in its name or Number.

 

In the manga, several of the Numbers remained blank even with a holder, because what's-his-name had no desires of his own, and therefore could mold his blank Numbers at will. Many of them ended up being Spiders due to his spider motif, and based on Sin or Justice-like themes.

 

No.37 and 38 are not like that. They are NEW Numbers created by RE-MOLDING those same Number cards. They took on a new form and a new number, and that's what I dislike about them. No.70 disappeared and became No.37. What I feel should have happened is that the numeral of the Number could have remained the same, and just took on a new form. By changing the numeral, it is effectively saying that there AREN'T actually 100 individual Number cards, because even if Astral gained possession of No.37, he's missing No.70, because No.70 was turned blank and then remolded into No.37.

 

Combined with the anime giving us No.1 - 4, each with a unique design and effect, and then revealing them as "Fakes" and that the REAL No. 1-4 were...uh...Rank 1s with identical stats and effects that only could realistically function with Numeron Network. Cool...except no wait, that's stupid. Earlier, they showed the Fake Number 10 as being 100% identical to Real No.10, but art and attribute change. No idea why they didn't just say No. 1-4 were Fakes, but they were the real cards' effects and such. Actually, the writing in the anime plummeted for sure around that time, so let's not get into that.

 

tl; dr, I only hated the idea of remolding Numbers with a completely different numeral because it made no sense from a lore perspective. (Same can be said for No.100 apparently being a literal fusion of No.46, 62, and 107...uh...for some reason).

Oh right; I understand, and I agree that it was dumb on their part.  It's why I have my doubts that Number 70 and 28 will show up in the forms they had in the manga.

 

In my headcanon, the "numbers" for the blank Numbers in the manga aren't predetermined, but are instead determined by the owner's will and what Numbers already exist.  So you can take a blank Number, and make it into a Number 67 if there isn't one already, and then (if you have the kind of control Yagumo had) re-mold it into Number 89 if there isn't one already.  If they gave an explanation like that in the manga (I didn't read it, so I don't know, but I doubt they did), I guess it would have been easier to swallow.
