Spirits have a hard time keeping a consistent and strong field presence, even with the new support they recently received. This card is meant to remedy that by being a decent beatstick, having Armades qualities with piercing, and being able to recycle the tributed Nikitama.

• Warrior-type to reflect worship by samurai.
• Effect requires battle, true to the war aspect of its identity.
• Effect recycles for the fertility aspect and Buddhist influence of the God.
