Feel free to send us questions.

TL note: putting the “no-damage-step” clause after the words “this turn” would create an implication that the damage you took must not have been taken during the Damage Step, creating a problematic contradiction for readers who know how battle damage works, and a misunderstanding about the “no-damage-step” clause for other readers.

BIG TL NOTE:
Our first chosen tentative term for these next two [ダイノルフィア] cards – “Dinoruffia” – has been replaced with the term *”Dinorphia”*. This should more closely align with intent, given the nature of how dynorphins work in chemistry.

TL note: Gullinbursti (Golden Haired) is the artifical golden boar forged by the Sons of Ivaldi as a gift to the God Freyr, as part of a dare by Loki to one of the dwarves.

TL note: The Sons of Ivaldi are a group of dwarves who were commissioned (and partially tricked) by Loki into making magical relics for the Norse gods, such as the spear Gungnir, the boar Gullinbursti, the malformed hammer Mjolnir, et cetera.

TL note: Kuriboh is a chestnut pun. So is this.

TL note: It’s based on Leedsicthys. (Thanks to Sanokal)

TL note: Li Hua takes its name from a recently established breed of domesticated cat in China.

TL note: her Kanji reads as 凶導の白聖骸 “The White Holy Corpse of the Heretical Path”

TL note: Qixing Longyuan is the full name of the sword 龍泉劍, a famous sword in Chinese folklore and legend.

TL note: Its name means something like “Leaves changing color” potentially, but there’s probably a scissor reference in here somewhere we haven’t yet figured out.

TL note: Its title “Shachi-Oh” sounds like “Sachou”, i.e. the term for a company’s president or CEO.

TL note: Kamikakushi refers to Spiriting Away, as in with the Miyazaki movie. Onibimaru is its given name, which is basically like Willwispington or something similar in English. Basically a Yokai who is a Will o’ the Wisp who spirits you away from the world of man. … Though visually it seems to be more of a Tengu

Note: The Kanji in its name reads “Heretical Funeral”

TL note: Hlidskjalf is the high throne of Odin sitting at the top of the hall Valhalla that allows Odin to peer out into the Nine Realms and see all of creation.

TL note: The first half sounds like “Tokyo Prefecture”. So, we’re gonna evoke a city like the art and name imply.

TL note: Trick shot.

TL note: This seems to be a play on Nuclear. Also due to idiosyncracies with English and Japanese, this is not Clear Support for Fujiwara’s Deck.

TL note: We’re going with something close to Prohibition, so Proscription. We had wanted Forbidden since Forbidden List, but sadly, Forbidden belongs to a certain group of Quick-Play Spells.

TL note: Database explicitly states “during the start step” in a bullet point, despite the raw card text specifying “at the start of the battle phase”. Most cards treat “at the start of the battle phase” as meaning “during the start step”, but most players do NOT know that, and commonly assume “at the start of the battle phase” to be far more strict. I (Atem) would like to push this clearer wording to the masses as often as I can, so that people don’t think it has to be the first thing someone does in the battle phase: it just has to be used within the Start Step.

TL note: Svalinn is the shield that sits before the sun, preventing it from burning all of creation to the ground from its intense heat.

TL note: Trick or Treat

TL note: The card’s name is a play on an idiom for being extremely reckless, but part of it’s been replaced with “Punishment/Costs of One’s Actions”, so we’re aiming for something referencing “Crime and Punishment”.

TL note: The name’s a play on a Revolving Lantern, so more literally it might be Revolving Locomotive. It might also reference something referring to “Life flashing before your eyes” (soumatou no you ni), hence the dramatic circumstance to draw. Last Stop or Last Call might also work.
