Previews for the eleventh Japanese booster set of the
Cardfight!! Vanguard trading card game, VG-BT11:
Seal Dragons Unleashed
have been unveiled, lighting a storm of speculation in the community.
The advertisement touts the return of Kagerou, promising that complete
decks for this clan along with Angel Feather and Tachikaze can be built
using only cards from the upcoming set. In addition to these, Narukami,
Genesis and Aqua Force will be supported by BT11. Also promised is
breakride support and a crossride for Seal Dragon, Blockade, now
believed to be the titular Seal Dragon that the set will unleash.
BT11:
Seal Dragons Unleashed will contain 102 cards with two
reprints in them, one of which is currently believed to be Dragonic
Overlord because of the previous
press conference, the second of which is unknown. Like Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark, this reprint will also be packaged with
Ride to Victory.
Because
it is claimed that complete decks for Kagerou, Angel Feather and
Tachikaze can be built using BT11 alone, and that the last time this
claim was circulated was for EB04 and EB05 which reprinted their clans'
respective perfect defense cards, there is speculation that the second
reprint will be Barri, Archbird or Requiel, with the remaining two units
being reimagined as subgroup perfect defense units in the style of
Jewel Knight, Iseult. Note that BT01:
Descent of the King of Knights is out of print in Japan, setting precedent for a Barri reprint.
Additional news has emerged surrounding EB06:
Dazzling Divas, the
second Bermuda Triangle extra booster. The set has been confirmed to
introduce both crossrides and breakrides to the clan, with its cover
card,
Eternal Idol Pacifica,
at the center of attention as the most likely candidate for the former.
The new Pacifica's skills are unknown, although images of what many
have called out as a forgery have been circulated repeatedly in fan
circles. Said image has an R foil instead of RRR/SP, limit break placed
at the bottom of the text box when it is universally placed at the top
elsewhere, and Lord situated close to the top of the box instead of at
the bottom. The production of such falsified images is not
unprecedented, as the thriving OriCa community and
fake magazine scans that have taken life on the net have shown.
Moreover, EB06 is drawing attention for having Tanihara Natsuki, a
celebrated artist who has previously done work for one of Bushiroad's
other properties
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes,
on board as an illustrator. Tanihara seems to be illustrating Bermuda
Triangle's breakride unit, although the name of the card and what kind
of skill it will have is not known.
EB06:
Dazzling Divas is due for a March 23rd Japanese release and June 26th English release.
2/6/2013 Update: A new image has since surfaced of
Kai on the cover of BT11, along with the Blockade crossride. Parallels are being drawn to BT02:
Onslaught of Dragon Souls, much as they were to BT01:
Descent of the King of Knights and BT10:
Triumphant Return of the King of Knights.
Current speculation is that, because of his being featured on a
Kagerou-focused set alongside the Blockade cover card, and because of
Dragonic Overlord's reprint within the set, Kai may be converting back
to the Kagerou clan.
