Handsome Fight! Mitsusada vs. Gouki!
Key Events
Kenji from Team Caesar visits Card Capital looking for Aichi.
Aichi and Kamui face off in the Card Shop Handsome’s shop tournament final. Kamui loses.
Kenji visits Card Shop Handsome and doesn’t want to disturb Aichi’s match. But Gouki asks him to stay and play him in a match.
Seems that Kenji was down, but because of some encouragement from Gouki he’s in high spirits again.
He breaks the news to everyone that he’s going to study at SIT and won’t enter any tournaments until he graduates.
Thoughts
I think we saw some new Granblue cards, from the series point of view that is as I’ve seen all these Granblue before from some recent real life vanguard matches. As you all may know, or may not, pack 6 was released quite a while ago and it gave Granblue a needed boost. But I’m unsure if these cards were shown already in the series. I think I remember doing a review on Cocytus but the other cards I don’t remember. Which means they’re giving Granblue another look at again, promoting their pack.
Oh and speaking of promoting packs, I find it interesting how they had Misaki going back to Coco from the 2nd pack to combo with cards just released in the 7th pack, i.e. the witch archetype that involves having no soul. I think they wanted another way to play Oracles and then remember they had Coco which they never showed in the series and thought let’s make an archetype out of that. They haven’t shown the other Oracles in pack 7 that don’t depend on soul which I find surprising as if Oracles have no soul then because they they’ll become useful cos they don’t depend on soul. Shisa and Swallow will obviously play well together, Souffle is pretty much a beatstick and Eclair may replace Magus. I’m very interested in seeing how Misaki will make use of them and how she’ll mix in the old ones too.
Now back to this episode, Kenji leaving was half surprising. After beating Ren, I expected a confidence boost and he’d do a few more circuits. Though then again, his team was beaten which is why it wasn’t that much of a surprise. Probably wants to regroup and get stronger and return later in the series. Shame, I’m gonna miss Great Daiyusha, he was fun.

Nice to see the OTTs, but I am not keen on the Coco “soulless” style; prefer soul charging.
I am a little confused about which Magus you are talking about, Lozenge Magus, Sphere Magus (Grd 0 Heals) or Circle Magus (Grd 1)? However, if its the grd 0s then Battle Sister, Eclair is ok for the soul but not a brilliant card, especially if you have Godhawk, Ichibyoshi and the Tsukuyomis in your deck. (Full names could be helpful)
Also for the Western readers of the blog, here is the Booster Packs available to date:
VG-BT01 Descent of the King of Knights
VG-BT02 Onslaught of Dragon Souls
VG-BT03 Demonic Lord Invasion
VG-BT06 Breaker of Limits
VG-BT07 Rampage of the Beast King (September Release)
VG-BT04 Eclipse of Illusionary Shadows (December Release)
Extra Booster:
VG-EB03 Cavalry of Black Steel
Finally, I might of been a bit dozy or not observant enough but I haven’t seen either the Great Nature or Angel Feather being used. More usage please.
Also….there is a Grade 4….

Lozenge and Sphere, i.e. the only two it can replace because it’s obvious you wouldn’t use that for a Tsukuyomi deck. Oh and Circle Magus’ effect is completely different to Eclair, I don’t see how it can replace it ever. I think it’s better than the heal triggers, they can be recycled when you draw them anyway and Eclair can help you search for a grade 3, searchers are always good, use it if you have none, or use it if you have 1 or 2 to spam out beatsticks, don’t use it if you have 3 or more, for obvious reasons.
But yeah, that’s my take on Eclair, I think I’d use it, not with Tsukuyomi.

Fair enough. Oh didn’t I mention that there is a grade 4?
Oh I did. Worth mentioning…again!

Yeah, about the grade 4, sounds just like a cross ride, I don’t think they’ll ‘open’ up the game more by making more of them, I don’t see how they can, but it is indeed interesting. Think it’s nothikng more than just promotion stuff, it’ll be difficult to integrate it into a balanced deck, well, it would change the game.
