TL note: Some of the notes are related to the legend of the youkai Amabie itself. The summary is that a youkai foretold of good harvest for the following years, but also the arrival of a disease. Therefore, a replica of the youkai’s appearance should be shown to people with haste. It is believed that those that have fallen ill would recover after seeing the replica of the youkai’s image. During the 2020 pandemic, there was a viral trend to create art based on this youkai, inspired by the legend. This card was released following that trend.

TL note: This is a similar design to the first depiction of the youkai, printed in a wooden block. It’s instructing those that have seen it to “replicate” its appearance.

TL note: The JP name of the card uses the suffix “-san” for Amabie in its name. “San” is one of the readings for the number “3”, so “3” Amabies are being included.
