DESCRIPTION:~~..i'm so excited to write this review..E.HERO Absolute Zero is the coolest Hero monster i've ever seen..it's effect is good,and it's art..OMG,so damn cool~!!..and i do mean,COOL~!!..it's absolute zero degree celcius..of course it's COOL~!!..ahaha..
~~..this is the REAL ace card for Kouyou Hibiki,Judai's master(?) and the one who gave Judai his nature-based E.Hero deck..when i read the manga,i was overwhelmed by this card..i don't know japanese,so i only know the english words..
~~..the only english words in the chapter is "Zero" and "Freezing at Moment"..Freezing at Moment is this card's attack name..it was so cool..a full page with this card and the words "Freezing at Moment" by the side..
ART:~~..i'm not a fan of Hero monster..and most of the Hero monster is not that nice to me..my favourite before this was Elemental Hero Dark Neos,Destiny Hero Dogmaguy and Evil Hero Malicious Devil..
~~..but this card..is jsut AWESOME!!..it's BEAUTIFUL!!!..so COOL!!..i reallyreallyreally love it's art..a Hero in white with blue background..and the card's purple..making this card so cool~!!.
Rating:10/10STAT/REQUIREMENT:~~..this card is a water/warrior/LV8 fusion monster with 2500 atk and 2000 def..it is considered weak for a 2-tribute..but it does have a built in atk boost..this card can easily be fusion summon..
~~..Hero monster like Hell Brat,Diabolicguy,or even Ice Edge(for both hero n water deck) can help to summon this card..and what the best water monster to use for this card??..TREEBORN FROG!!!!..easy,right??..you can also use Super Fusion or Miracle Fusion to summon it faster..
Rating:7/10EFFECT:~~..this card hav 2 effects..the 1st effect is an atk boost..being a 2500 atk monster,any atk boost is good..with treeborn frog on the field,this card is a 3000atk beatstick..it's maximum atk is 5000..
~~..the 2nd effect is very powerful..when this card is REMOVE FROM THE FIELD,destroy all monster on opponent's field..even if Raiza or Gaius managed to return/remove this card,it's effect is still activated..
~~..and what's more..there's combo for this card..release this card to summon monster like Turret Warrior or Great Maju Garzett..you will have a high-atk monster against an empty monster zone of opponent..sweet,huh??
Rating:8/10OVERALL:~~..this card is simple..very simple..it's 2nd effect is deadly if used correctly..any hero or water deck can easily summon this dude..it's even better if combined with Prisma..but being a fusion thus slowing this card's effectiveness a bit..but the art..BEAUTIFUL..

「スターダスト・ドラゴン/バスター」
DB01-JP001 Stardust Dragon/Buster [Secret Rare]
WIND/Dragon - Effect/10/(3000?)/(2500?)
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effects of this card and "Buster Mode". When the effect of a Magic, Trap, or Effect Monster Card is activated, you can Release this card to negate that activation and destroy it. During the End Phase of the turn in which this effect is used, you can Special Summon this card in your Graveyard that was Released and sent there in order to activate this effect. Also, when this card on the field is destroyed, you can Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon" in your Graveyard.
DESCRIPTION:~~..this card will be release as a promo in the Duelist Box..it is used by Yusei in the Anime Tour special if i am correct..this card is a more powerful version of the ever so popular Stardust Dragon..being a /Buster(slash buster) monster,this card obviously needs Buster Mode..i'll talk about it later..
ART:~~..this card to me is basically a Stardust with armors..it's art is cool and nice,but i prefer the old Stardust as the card is white..if this card is white(synchro) i'll like it better..but the stance is just cool~!
Rating:7/10STAT/REQUIREMENT:~~..this card is a Dragon/Wind/LV10 with atk 3000 and def 2500..but being a /Buster monster means nothing matters as this card can only be summoned by Buster Mode.
~~..by sacrificing Stardust via Buster Mode,this card will be special summoned from the deck..from the DECK only..so if SDD/B is in the hand or graveyard,it can't be summon..but /Buster monster has a bunch on support..and i think that will make it quite competitive..
~~..Re-BUSTER will summon a /Buster from the graveyard..and Buster Beast is able to get a Buster Mode from the graveyard despite being a beatstick..even SD is not that hard to summon now..but then,summoning restriction still sucks to me..
Rating:6/10EFFECT:~~..this card has 3 effect..3 damn powerful effect..let me explain one by one..
~~..1st effect shuts your opponent's monster,spell or trap down by releasing itself..Stardust just negates destruction..but this baby negate everything..only cards like Solemn Judgment,D.D Crow or such can stop this babe..but the thing that i don't like is,opponent can just waste 1 effect to get this baby in the graveyard..
~~..although its effect is optional,but have to be careful when you want to use this card's effect..opponent may outsmart you with this card..but still,this card basically negates EVERYTHING..
~~..its 2nd effect activates if you release it via its 1st effect..yeah,same with SD..but still,when it negates once,it's down for a turn..it's a once per turn effect to me..
~~..this card effect is like just "this card can negates your opponent monster,spell OR trap effect and destroy it once per turn"..you will lose a 3000atk beatstick once this card's effect is activated..and if this is the only monster on your field,walla,empty field(same with SD)..
~~..the 3rd effect make sure no loss of anything to the user of this card..when this card is DESTROYED..i repeat,DESTROYED,you can special summon 1 SD from your graveyard..all /Buster have this effect..summoning their non /Buster counterpart..this effect is quite good..no field disadvantage for the user..
Rating:6/10OVERALL:~~..many people all over the internet said this card is broken..for me,it's not..although not much drawbacks of this card..this card is a useless card if you draw it..and getting a synchro monster with a trap sounds like it will slow down the game a bit..but the last effect is really cool to me..but i don't think /Buster will make a highly competitive deck..for casual play,YES!!..

「創世竜」
LE14-JP0?? Genesic Dragon [Ultra Rare]
LIGHT/Dragon - Effect/6/2200/1800
Once per turn, you can send 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to add 1 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard to your hand. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can return all Dragon-Type monsters in your Graveyard to the Deck.
DESCRIPTION:~~..Genesic Dragon..this card is going to be released end of this year(probably)..together with 3 other cards..this card is used by Manjyoume Jun in the GX manga..although it's name/attribute/atk n def are the same,but the effect is changed entirely..in the manga,this card's effect is just "When this card is summoned,decrease the atk and def of an opponent monster by 500"..
~~..it names probably derives from "Genesis" which means birth or creation..as it name suggests,this dragon holds the power of rebirth..i shall talk about it later..
ART:~~..the art is just a different angle of the boring manga card..a lot of force is coming from behind and this dragon looks fierce..i really like its colour,but to me,it looks pretty normal..
Rating:5/10STAT/REQUIREMENTS:~~..this card is a Dragon/Light monster with 2200 atk and 1800 def..being a dragon means this card can be abuse with the god-like Red-eyes Darkness Metal Dragon or any other dragon-type support,being light means Honest will honestly help..i would prefer if this card's dark,though..hehe..it's atk is considered weak for a 1-tribute lv6 monster..and it's def is decent..
Rating:6/10EFFECT:~~..now i'll explain why i love this card so damn much..the 1st thing is,THERE'S NO RESTRICTION!!!!..i just love monsters with no restriction..there's not even 1 monster in my deck with restriction like "This monster cannot be normal summon or set" or "This monster can only be special summoned by.."..the best non-restriction monster for me is REDMD..not only there's no restriction,there's not even drawbacks/costs..it's all advantages!!..REDMD is the most broken dragon monster ever!!..(if Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End is not counted..)
~~..this card's 1st effect for me can greatly help REDMD..the effect is basically a moster version of Monster Reincarnation for dragon..by dumping REDMD to the graveyard,usually i'll use Monster Reborn..but this card can also help to get REDMD in my hand faster..as REDMD's effect can special summon itself,i can have REDMD way faster with this card's help..
~~..i can also get back dragon-type tuners easily..this card can also help me get Vice Dragon back to my hand so i can use it again when my field's empty..how's that for a counter-measure tactic??..i will really love this card more if there's no cost..ahaha!!
~~..the 2nd effect is not going to be much use by me..as i'm more to dump-reborn,so an empty graveyard will just kill me..luckily the 2nd effect is OPTIONAL..although i'm not going to use it often,this effect can help me sometimes too..if there's TOO much monsters in the graveyard early in the game,this effect can help me to activate Future Fusion..
~~..one thing i'm confused about this 2nd effect is,when it said "When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can return all Dragon-Type monsters in your Graveyard to the Deck",does this includes itself,which is SENT to the graveyard so this effect can be activated??..Karl,help me..i don't know..
~~..if this card is not included for it's 2nd effect,then it's better because it will ensure there's at least ONE monster in the graveyard,which is itself..
~~..and being a lv6 monster means this card can tune with any lv2 tuner for a lv8 moster..being light makes this card available to summon Light End Dragon..i know it's not worth it..but it does gave me the option,right??
Rating:7/10OVERALL:~~..this card is not broken to begin with..not broken at all...but it does provides a lot of support for a dragon deck..this card is more to supporting than the old way of the dragons which is swarming and beatdown..this card for me is weak for beatdown,but it supports swarming..this card can proves to be very useful in a dragon deck..

DP08-JP016 Arms Aid [Ultra Rare]
LIGHT/Machine - Synchro/4/1800/1200
1 Tuner + 1 or more Non-Tuner monster
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can treat this card as an Equip Card and equip it to a monster OR unequip this card and Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. Only if this card is treated as Equip Card, the ATK of the equipped monster is increased by 1000 Points. When the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, deal damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.
DESCRIPTION:~..this card is the very 1st ever LV4 synchro monster..used by Yuusei against Bommer in the 5D's anime.this card equipped to Junk Warrior and won the match for Yuusei.
ART:~..when i first saw this card in the anime,it reminds me of the knightmare frame,Guren's right arm from one the best anime ever,Code Geass-Hangyaku no Lelouch..in CG,Guren's right arm is the main weapon that can "boil" other machines..let see if this card can "boil" other cards as well..one thing about this card's art..simple and cool..love it~!
Rating:8/10STAT/REQUIREMENTS:~..this card is a 1800 atk monster,quite high for a LV4 monster and a 1200 def..nothing much can be said about it's stats..being synchro monster,this card can't do be summoned in any way other than synchro summon at first..
Rating:no comment/10EFFECT:~..the first thing we need to know is this card is a LV4 synchro monster..for me,there's pros n cons for being a LV4 synchro..
~..1stly,this card is among the best card to be summoned using LV1 tuners such as Hanewata,White of Legend or basically any LV1 tuners as they can tune with LV3 monster such as Marshmallon n Spirit Reaper to form this piece of metal..other way of tuning are 2+2 or 3+1..by 2+2,Zombie Carrier is the best bet and for 3+1,Junk Synchron + Tuning Supporter seems good..
~..the cons of this card for me is it's LV..a weaker LV synchro monster does proof to be hard to summon..that's why LV6 synchro's are the best..Rescue Cat can bring this card quickly,but i'd rather synchro for Brionac or something better..
~..the 1st effect of this card is UNION effect..meaning that it can be a monster or an equip magic..when equipped,the equipped monster gain a huge 1000 atk points and E.Hero Flame Wingman's effect..
~..while this effect lacks the true union's "if the equipped monster is to be destroyed,destroy this card instead" effect,it does proves to be useful..but synchro summoning this card without a monster on the field seems rather wasting..therefore,for me this card is quite situational..having 2 monster to tune this one and needing another monster to equipped it too seems stupid sometimes..thus,making this card SITUATIONAL..it think this card as a 2-tribute LV4 monster that needs 1 more monster to work with..
~..if this card becomes a monster,then it's just a heavy LV4 hitter..but it's effect is still good as even if equipped to a low level monster it still can deal a lot of damge..this card is fun if used with Mental Sphere Demon(gaining life points while burning opponent and protection too..) and Black Rose Dragon,
since it calculates the destroyed monster's ATK in the graveyard, if you use Black Rose Dragon's effect, you will both deal a lot of battle damage to the opponent with Black Rose Dragon, and then Arms Aid's effect will inflict even more damage to the opponent(got off from wikia..)
RATING:5/10OVERALL:~..this card is a must for my Extra Deck..but not going to summon it intentionally though..i'll only summon it if i HAVE too..this card will slow me down if i summon it without thinking..this card can prove to be game winning if use in the right situation..and the atk boost is quite high..making even a low level monster equipped with this card to be very competitive..

「デブリ・ドラゴン」
CRMS-JP0?? Debris Dragon
WIND/Dragon - Tuner/4/1000/2000
When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 {monster with 500 ATK or less from your Graveyard in face-up Attack Position}. The effect(s) of the monster Special Summoned by this effect is negated. This card can only be used as Synchro Material for the Synchro Summon of a Dragon-Type monster. {The other Synchro Material monster(s) must be of a Level other than 4?}
~..i will also do a card review in response on Karl's blog..>.<..this card,the Debris Dragon is schedule to be released in the booster,Crimson Crisis(CRMS)..Crimson Crisis' card's is so damn cool..i'm so gonna buy 2 or 3 boxes~~..by the way,this card's effect is still unconfirmed..>.<
DESCRIPTION:~..this card is the 4th Dragon-type tuner after Magna Drago,Guard of Frembell and White of Legend..i'm a big fan of dragon-type and i've been waiting for a dragon like this for a long time..but something about the effect is just not right..i'll tell later..
ART;~..obviously this card is the "baby" version of the ever-so-popular Stardust Dragon..it's a "Debris" from some "Stardust"..the graphic is soooo Stardust-y..that makes it cool..with a cosmic background..i love this card's graphic!!
Rating:8.5/10STAT/REQUIREMENT;~..this card is a wind/dragon type monster with 1000 atk and 2000 def..decent def stat but weak atk stat..it is the weakest LV4 dragon type monster together with Spirit Dragon..at only 1000 atk..being a dragon means it can be searched via Masked Dragon and wind via dragonfly..
Rating:5/10EFFECT;~..this card's effect is quite long..and it hav so many restriction..the 1st effect means we cannot dump-reborn or special summon it with Masked Dragon/Dragonfly/Red-eyes Darkness Metal Dragon(REDMD) to gain it's effect..it also mean we have to summon it in atk position as flip summon is not considered normal summon(see wikia YGO)..being a 1000 atk weakling..that is a very bad choice..except if you are going to tune it right away..
~..the 1st effect is obviouly for synchro summoning and another version of Junk Synchron..but to special summon a 500 atk monster is not that good..not many monsters with decent level(for synchro) is at 500 atk and below..but this card will work wonder with any high def,low atk LV4 monster..but that is also not a good idea because..
~..THIS CARD CAN'T BE TUNED WITH A LV4 MONSTER!!!!..i really hate ths effect..it means that if we want to get a LV8 dragon-type synchro(all dragon-type synchros are LV8 except black rose and ancient fairy),we have to do the 4+2+2 or 4+3+1..and not the easiest way of 4+4..this card is easy to get black rose and ancient fairy in a dragon deck as masked dragon,bomber dragon and twin headed behemoth are all at LV3..but i prefer to get the LV8's!!!..
~..rescue cat can help this card as this face-up card on the field with rescue cat is equal to 4+2+2 or 4+3+1..but who on earth wanna put beasts in a dragon deck!!!..is there any rescue dragon??..waaa!!!..i would like it if they have rescue dragon!!!..
~..this card can only used to tune for dragon-type monsters.examples-stardust,red daemon's,black rose,ancient fairy,light end,dark end..although dragon-type synchros are good,but it still restrict it's usefulness..
Rating:4/10OVERALL;Rating:4.5/10~..this card is just not worth it..it restrict to many things..and it's very slow..to only summon dragon-type synchro is very bad..and the level restrict pissed me off sooo damn much!!!..for me,the level restrict makes this card from decent to bad..very bad..but this card's graphic is a must in my album..and i think i'll try this card out in my deck after it's released..>.<
