Card Slash

From Wikimon
Lee Jianliang Slashing a Blue Card.

Card Slash (カードスラッシュ Kādosurasshu; Dub: Digi-Modify) is a technique in Digimon Tamers, in which Tamers swipe ("Slash") trading cards from the Digital Monster Card Game, or certain other special cards, into their D-Ark Digivice to generate temporary power-ups, equipment and other modifications for their partner Digimon.

Overview[edit]

Basis[edit]

Digimon Tamers depicts Digital Monster Card Game cards as having a metallic stripe along their side, containing code pertaining to that card's gameplay effects. This code is meant to be read by Card Fighter Ex devices that are used to play the game, by Slashing cards through a long slot in the device,[1] but the D-Ark Digivice is able to use the code from the cards to generate augmentations for partner Digimon. (Card reading functionality of a sort would later be added to the real Digital Monster Card Game, but it used barcodes along the base of some sets of cards instead, and was exclusively used with the D-Scanner toy line rather than to play the card game itself.)

Card Slashing works similarly to how it does with D-Arks in an American Digimon computer game that Lee Jianliang once played, where he met Terriermon. This game uses a card reader peripheral that is plugged into the computer; Jianliang's card reader became his D-Ark when he Slashed a Blue Card.[2]

Mechanics[edit]

The Card Slash sequence.

The effect that a card has when Slashed is based on its own properties, and what type of card it is:

  • Digimon Cards: Basic cards depicting individual Digimon, which are used in the card game to fight against other Digimon cards. When Slashed in a D-Ark, they instead allow the partner Digimon to use one of the featured Digimon's attack techniques.
  • Option Cards: Support cards which invoke additional effects. In the Digital Monster Card Game, these come in three main types that are denoted by an icon in the top left of the card. Two of these types are used in Tamers for Card Slashing:
    • Item Cards: Cards which add to some aspect of the Digimon's strength and abilities. They serve this function both in the card game and when Slashed. For the purposes of Slashing, Item Cards can be divided into three further categories:
      • Equipment Cards: Cards which equip the partner Digimon with a physical item that has abilities that the Digimon did not previously have.
      • Plug-In Cards: Cards which boost the attributes of Digimon. They can be used to increase a Digimon's offensive, defensive or speed stats, can recover a Digimon's energy and stamina, or can induce evolution to the Adult level. Each is named with a single-letter suffix.
      • Device Cards: A type of item card that Akiyama Ryo describes as a "wild card" that is usable only by "truly strong Tamers".[3]
    • Program Cards: Cards which execute a more complex procedure involving the partner Digimon.

D-Arks are also able to read and execute effects from certain other cards which are not from the Digital Monster Card game, but do carry particular algorithms that are in some way intended for use with Digimon, such as Blue Cards.[4]

Jianliang observes that the only reason Card Slashing has any effect at all is because the Tamers believe that it will, and that the D-Arks transfer the power of that faith into their Digimon. He claims that if they did not believe the cards would do anything, the cards would just be cards with no effect at all.[5]

Multiple cards can be Slashed one after another to create combos, where a Digimon can use the powers of all of those cards together at once. However, the cards that a Tamer uses for a combo must be chosen carefully to avoid the cards' effects undermining each other. For example, when Takato tries to combo with the "White Wings" and "High Speed Plug-In B" cards, the increase to Guilmon's speed makes it harder for him to control his flight.[6]

In Digimon ReCollection, Nozomi Mayu is shown Card Slashing a card from the modern Digimon Card Game rather than one from the Digital Monster Card Game, though one based on the original card game in the first place (EX2-070 Super Evolution Plug-In S). Despite the difference, it worked the same way as it did in Digimon Tamers.

Production[edit]

The mechanic of Card Slashing came about in Digimon Tamers due to a directive from Bandai to incorporate the Digital Monster Card Game into the series, as part of their larger directive to depict Digimon as an in-universe media franchise. According to Chiaki J. Konaka, he, at least, had difficulty with this directive, both due to it clashing with his own worldbuilding style and due to difficulties coming up with on-screen functions for the cards beyond the obvious application in evolution. As far as he can remember, Kaizawa Yukio may have been responsible for the concept of the D-Arks being created by Slashing Blue Cards through card readers.[7]

The cards that were used for Card Slashing in Tamers have since been reprinted and sold in several special-edition anniversary collections. They include cards which had only been identified by name and not by ID number (i.e. by having its face shown on-screen) in the series, in which case they select one pre-existing card that has that name. However, different collections do not always select the same card of the same name.

During the Colosseum 40th floor Free Battle: "Digimon Tamer?", Matsuda Takato performs a Card Slash with the Matrix Evolution card to evolve Guilmon into Megalo Growmon.

  1. ↑ In this episode, the card is called "High-Speed Plug-In D", and the card graphic is edited accordingly. However, only the name was changed, and the card shares all other details with both the real-world St-51 and its appearances in other episodes, including citing the same card ID number. The D-Ark ver.15th Edition later included a real "High-Speed Plug-In D" card, Re-83, in reference to this.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 This face of this card, and by extension its card ID number, is not shown on-screen. The card number listed here is inferred based on there only being one real card by this name, and the inclusion of that card in the D-Ark ver.15th Edition.
  3. ↑ The real-life "Alias!" card, Bo-22t, was not released until two months after the aired of its debut anime episode, "Culu Culun! Playing with Culumon!". The version of the card seen in the anime has identical art and activation rules to the real-world card, but lacks an ID number and has radically different effect text. The card graphic was not updated at all for "The Name's Dukemon! The True Ultimate Evolution".
  4. ↑ The real-world "Inflating Space!!" card, Bo-23t, was released in the same month that this episode aired. The art is identical between the episode and the real card, but none of the errata or details match, and the card in the episode has no ID number.
  5. ↑ This face of this card, and by extension its card ID number, is not shown on-screen. Five different "Offense Plug-In A" cards were published in the card game's lifetime, so this card could be any of those. Bo-19t was the "Offense Plug-In A" card chosen for the D-Ark ver.15th Edition set.
  6. ↑ The real-life "Reload Plug-In Q" card, St-814, was not released until over a year after this episode aired. The version of the card seen in the episode has identical art to the real-life card, but lacks an ID number and has radically different errata.
  7. ↑ In the real-life card game, card Bo-609 is actually a Keramon card. The real-life "King Device" card is Bo-642, which was released two months after this episode aired.
  8. ↑ The face of this card is not shown on-screen. Both of Yukidarumon's real-life cards feature the Zettai Reido Punch technique, so it could be either. Subsequent merchandise sets that include the cards seen on Tamers chose to include different Yukidarumon cards from each other: the D-Ark ver.15th Edition set includes Bo-633, and the Lee Jianliang edition of the Super Complete Selection Animation D-Ark set includes Bo-7.
  9. ↑ The face of this card is not shown on-screen. It is likely intended to be St-582 "Knight Device", which launched in the same month that this episode first aired. This is supported by how St-582 was later included in the D-Ark ver.15th Edition set.
  10. ↑ In the real-life card game, card Bo-888 is actually a Yanmamon card that was released nine months after Tamers ended. The real-life "Queen Device" card is Bo-693, which was released in the same month that this episode aired. The errata on the real card are very different, and even includes a clause saying that only Ultimates can use it, meaning Andiramon actually cannot in the real card game.
