More monsters with effects that activate when
they're destroyed by a card effect have been released since this card's
appearance in the anime but you may find this not helpful when you draw
it. |

Ally of Justice Tractor
DARK / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
If your opponent controls a face-up LIGHT monster, you can Tribute
this card to add 2 "Ally of Justice" monsters from your Deck to your
hand.

Even if you'd use it for the same combo the Duel
Bot did to get the Ally of Justice Gateways, that's still a pretty
mediocre combo and you have a 5 in 6 chance of not seeing a LIGHT
monster. Plus those stats aren't going to help you in any other
situation, except when you desperately need a monster to defend your LP
or use for a Summon. |

Synchro Prominence
Anime Normal Trap
Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each face-up Synchro
Monster on the field.

Whether you bring them out normally or use an
effect to bypass the requirements, you're still putting in effort and
probably won't be dealing more than 2000 damage in most cases. |
 |
Battle Eater
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 10 / ATK 2500 / DEF 0
When an opponent's monster with less ATK than this card's declares a
direct attack, you can send this card from your hand to the
Graveyard to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. Then, take
damage equal to this card's ATK.

As a Level 10 monster, you'd expect some pretty
decent and/or powerful effects, especially with such low stats to
accompany it but no, they only hurt you in the end. Plus you're not even
Special Summoning it when you use its effect either. |

Doom Ray
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when an opponent's monster declares a direct attack.
Inflict 800 damage to both players for each card in your hand.

It's pretty risky to have to wait for a direct
attack to activate a card like this because if it's negated, you're the
only one to take damage unless you have another card. Plus, this
probably won't deal more than 2400 damage and affects both players. |

Revival Knight
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only during the End Phase of the turn a Fiend-Type "Knight"
monster you control was destroyed. Special Summon that monster in
face-up Defense Position.

Of all the Knights monsters we have, there are
very few of them that meet this card's activation requirements and of
the ones I know are in it, none of them are any good but that doesn't
mean we can't get better ones later. |

Shadow Concealing Darkness
Anime Continuous Trap
Defense Position monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle.
If your opponent controls a face-up LIGHT monster, destroy this
card.

While it can be used to protect the feeble
Hidden Knights mentioned below, it's better suited for other monsters
that have DEF but against a LIGHT monster Deck, this card will prove
useless. |
 |
Dark the Hidden Knight
DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 0
This card can attack your opponent directly. When a Defense Position
monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can Tribute
this card to change that monster's battle position.

An even more feeble monster than Hook the Hidden
Knight as it's ATK is half Hook's and its effects are even worse, as it
can attack directly or be Tributed to force an opponent's monster into
Defense Mode. |

Episode 104: Knight Takes Pawn |

Hook the Hidden Knight
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 0
When this Attack Position card is selected as an attack target,
change this card and the attacking monster to Defense Position. When
this card is changed from Attack Position to Defense Position,
inflict 800 damage to your opponent.

Though the monster's shadow form proved to be
ruthless against unsuspecting duelists on their Duel Runners, the actual
card is pretty poor, lacking DEF and forcing itself to Defense Mode
whenever it's attacked while in Attack Mode. The damage it deals isn't
even enough to be feared either. |

Speed Spell - Tyrant Force
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Activate only while you have 10 or more Speed Counters. Cards you
control cannot be destroyed this turn. Each time a card(s) your
opponent controls is destroyed this turn, inflict 300 damage to your
opponent.

You're forced to first accumulate 10 Speed
Counters and then afterwards, the only plus this gives you that is
worthwhile is preventing the destruction of your cards, which is much
better done with Stardust Dragon, whom also returns to the field. You're
also not going to likely deal much damage with the last effect anyway. |

Summon Tax
Anime Continuous Trap
A player that Normal or Special Summons a monster takes damage equal
to half the ATK of the Summoned monster. This card is destroyed
during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation.

Even real life taxes aren't this harsh. The only
way to get around the effect is to play a weak monster or Summon Prime
Material Dragon but then you wouldn't need this then would you? |

Speed Spell - Overspeed
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Activate only while you have 4 or more Speed Counters. Reduce your
Speed Counters to 0 to add 1 Level 3 or lower Monster Card and 1
Spell/Trap Card from your Graveyard to your hand. You cannot gain
Speed Counters for the next 3 turns after this card's activation.

It may look like a good card at first glance but
it costs you all your Speed Counters just to get 2 cards back from your
Graveyard that will be no surprise to your opponent and then you're
forced to be without Speed Counters for 3 turns more. |

Return Damage
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only if you would take Battle Damage. You take no Battle
Damage. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the Battle Damage
you would have taken.

Though Dimension Wall already exists, Magic
Cylinder is better still since it negates the attack and deals the full
ATK to your opponent. |

Superficial Peace
Anime Normal Trap
Until the End Phase, Spell and Trap Cards cannot be activated, and
monsters cannot be destroyed by battle. Also, when your opponent
takes damage this turn, you can destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card your
opponent controls, and draw 1 card.

Thanks to this card's effect, you can't make any
adjustments to either player's monsters or LP using Spell/Trap Cards and
thus must rely on what you already have out. If you end up dealing
damage though, the other effect isn't too bad. |

Cosmic Blast
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster you control is
removed from the field. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to its
ATK. This turn, you cannot Special Summon.

Even though Light End Dragon is in the artwork,
this card was clearly made to go with Stardust Dragon, whom can easily
leave the field by its effect, though even that isn't going to do you
much good if Stardust doesn't return. |

Thousand Crisscross
Anime Continuous Trap
When your Life Points change, they become 1000. After this effect is
used 3 times, destroy this card.

This can keep you in the game just as it did for
Jean but you're still not very far away from defeat and activating this
early will cost you LP. |

Harmony Crystal
Anime Normal Trap
Remove from play 2 monsters from your Graveyard, including 1 Synchro
Monster that was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard this turn.
Select 1 Synchro Monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it.
Then, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of that
monster's ATK.

You'll basically need 3 monsters to make this
card work because one you banish from your Graveyard, and only if that
monster was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, the other you revive
and this won't be useful early on. |

Damage Lance
Anime Normal Trap

declares a direct attack. Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. The
attacking monster loses 1000 ATK during damage calculation only.

There are more monsters with 2000 ATK than there
were when this debuted in the anime but it still has kind of strict
activation requirements, even if the benefits aren't all that bad. |

Tricolor Illusion
Anime Continuous Trap
Monsters your opponent controls cannot attack. Your opponent can
send the top card of their Deck to the Graveyard to destroy this
face-up card. Once during each of their turns, your opponent must
reveal the top card of their Deck:
● Spell Card: Your opponent adds
that card to their hand. ● Trap Card: Your opponent discards that
card and 1 card from their hand. ● Monster Card: Your opponent adds
that card to their hand, then returns 1 other card from their hand
to the top of their Deck.

It may only be risky to the opponent but there's
an easy way out that'll only cost your opponent their Deck's top card so
unless they're down to 1 card in their Deck, they can easily bypass any
harm that could come from this card's effects. |

Tuning Collapse
Anime Normal Trap

battle. Send cards from the top of your opponent's Deck to the
Graveyard equal to the Level of the destroyed Synchro Monster.

Having to take out an opponent's Synchro Monster
in battle to get the effect is kinda strict but you may send handful of
cards of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard. |
