[@DBellBoi]

I'm a "PURE" archetype player. Time Thief, U.A.'s, F.A.'s, Exosisters, Sky Striker, Shiranui, Karakuri, Fur-Hire, etc. IF and that's a big if Komoney gives this more support with the theme, then I'll be down to play it. Gimme a Link, XYZ, and more Synchros just like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan and it'll be my most played deck since Sky Strikers in TCG/MasterDuel

[@dlarenceparks2211]

You to huh

[@TsukuneD]

I know it's Gurren Lagann, but the painted bunny symbol on the mecha reminds me of Oban Star Racer way more. And if it wasn't for Centurion being Red Hot Calamity turbo right now, I'd love the whole theme.

[@Zetact_]

It's pretty much just the typical internet response of "all robots are either Gundam or Gurren Lagann."

[@RavenCloak13]

​@@Zetact_ When the main damn pose is Gunbuster, the main girl uses a smaller head/helmet shaped robot to combine to make a bigger one it isn't just a kneejerk reaction. Even the Japanese were.saying "GURREN!" but it also has multiple other inspirations like VS's had Blazblue as the main theme.but references fighting games in general.

[@someguyyoukno]

​@@Zetact_pretty sure Konami literally confirmed its inspired by it lol, not sure what you're on about

[@Zeroized]

If Sorairo Days didn't start roaring in your head after looking at the "Stand-Up Centurion!" art, then please go watch Gurren Lagann until it does.

[@Zetact_]

@@Zeroized The crossed arms pose was prominently used in Gunbuster which was homaging Getter Robo. Gurren Lagann is literally just following through with that since it takes so much from Getter Robo. Shocking, crossed arms existed before Gurren Lagann. The archetype's tagline is even "We'll shoot for the peak!" which I'm choosing to translate like that just because it's an obvious reference to "Aim for the Top" (the literal name for the Gunbuster OVA) except using synonyms for "top" and "aim." Even Trudea being a Pyro type is a Gunbuster reference since one of the big dramatic scenes to emphasize the teamwork in the series is using the metaphor of two fires combining to become an inferno. The obvious blatant on its face reference is Gunbuster.

[@ownagemester]

The boss monsters are Earth Machines. I am absolutely splashing Machina Trains into this archetype and there isnt a drill big enough to stop me.

[@goldensimp7729]

I do love how while having esthetic similarities to Gurren Lagann, Centurion lore focuses more on the bond between the 2 girls. Basicaly this means we shouldn't get a Trudea death scene since she can't be replaced like the big brother in Gurren Lagann

[@crusiver8453]

Just wait till they introduce a third girl that can also be piloted. {THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE}

[@aliastheabnormal]

NIKOPOL starts playing.

[@goldensimp7729]

@@crusiver8453 I'm pretty sure that will be the second magical girl and probably a dark magical girl. Since the main theme of Centurion is how Team Rabbit has a bond between all 3 members. Trudea and Emet are both beloved partners of Primea, and we saw how she is willing to risk her own life for them in Faith Centurion, so I imagine the next team we get will have the pilot destroy cards in backrow( sacrificing her tools) as a way to mirror Primea's character arc

[@crusiver8453]

@@goldensimp7729 I'd love to see that honestly. Nothing better than tyong lore into gameplay

[@TheGoodOne1998]

So it should be more like Gunbuster.

[@yusheitslv100]

Something I just noticed: Emet means "truth" in Hebrew. (אמת) it's funny because it's one of 3 cards whose names have "truth" in it. The other 2 are Trudea and Truth (the counter trap).

I had no idea this archetype existed, looks very fun to play. Might toss in a Uria for that nostalgic crystal beast/hamon feel xD

[@casualtheeduelist]

it's coming up this november in the Valiant Smashers theme pack

[@aaa1e2r3]

Some other techs you didn't include there would be Imperial Customs, Apophis the Swamp Deity and Statue of Anguish Pattern. Customs protects your Centurion from destruction via card eff when you try to bring them out (Ghost Ogre is a hard counter to this deck). Apophis is a multi negate based on the number of continuous traps you have and is a level 6 that lets you go into level 10 plays like Baronne. Anguish Pattern is a free pop with each summon from the s/t zone for some extra field removal, while also being another level 7 to go into level 11 sync plays or rank 7 with that machina fortress.

It's more Gunbuster, the predecessor of Gurren Lagann.

[@arey256]

Never heard of gunbuster? It’s an anime

[@tobiasdoesthings9546]

“OUR DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!” - Kamina or/and Simon (depending on which episode you are watching)

[@ShiningDestinyKai]

I'm so hyped for this archetype! The aesthetics and designs paying homage to so many iconic mecha series fills my heart with joy!

[@drgonserpent]

And now having a second video with him talking about the Nova scale it's actually not a bad idea

[@AzureDrive]

I really like the designs of the monsters, especially Legatia. The pink energy is also pretty striking. I might see about getting some of the cards, but who knows if I'll play it before their next wave of support.

[@Phanto5692]

(Wo)man and machine, power extreme! If you get this reference, you had an awesome childhood.

[@Del_1022]

And this just single handedly want me to play Yu-Gi-Oh again

[@BrolySayian]

I see the GURREN LAGANN and this archetype but to me the archetype that fits GURREN LAGANN more is the JUNK archetype because of JUNK BERSERKER especially JUNK DESTROYED and DRILL WARRIOR i know it not a JUNK card but I'm counted anyways lol but this new archetype is still awesome because you can see the GURREN LAGANN in the spell cards a lot

[@Meme-pg5tw]

This is a really fun deck that can play a slower game and plays on both turns letting there be a back and forth Unless you calamity lock them then its just not fun

[@deonjoyner960]

[@neogotham2k395]

PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!

3:27 When I saw for the first time Primera, I instantly thought about Squeaknight, instead o f Kitt

[@jeroenbok7892]

The Emblema of Oath card is so cute!

[@ronnindraco9052]

Another possible tech pick could be Uria, lord of searing flames. Since in the spell and trap zone as traps you could sacrifice them for the cost then bounce them out of the grave back to zone

[@Secr3tYT]

But wouldn't it lose the ATK boost?

[@Aides1128]

Now I’m wondering if we would get a beast-warrior monster as support to reference viral

[@kokkorohime9525]

a good excuse to blast sorairo days on the phone when you play this on your locals XD

[@grip3939]

I will equip Jumbo Drillroid to my mech And activate the Spell card, Drill that will pierce the Heaven

[@RusianSpy]

On the one hand, a Gurren Lagann archetype makes me excited and could get me back into Master Duel if they ever added it. But on the other hand, it's still pretty small as an archetype, and it isn't as strong as a connection to TGGL as I'd like. More mechs, more characters, maybe find ways to make them combine like how Lagann does with other mechs? Definitely need more cards though, otherwise I can't play a pure Centurion deck. Nevertheless, major points for referencing the Stab the Sky and Gainax Pose.

[@AdHocWholius]

It's referencing Gunbuster/Diebuster in the pose.

[@RusianSpy]

@@AdHocWholius How do you know?

[@autobotstarscream765]

A week later, "I'm Arise-Heart, buy my merchandise to remember me" hits different. Gone, but not forgotten. I'm guessing he's sore at VS since his MVP Fenrir already jumped ship. 😂

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

Apparently, someone said he Deck is Half reference to TTGL and Half reference to Star Driver

[@TokenCast]

Is that merch licensed?

[@andybobandysings]

I cannot wait for this archetype. This plus Horus and some Vision Resonators will create a powerhouse. Or you just cut that Jack Atlas stuff for more consistency

[@Netherwolf6100]

I would say they need to have a way to protect them from card effects while in the backrow. They also need at least 2 more monsters and a Level 8 Synchro. Otherwise I might get this when its released. Certainly feels incomplete for now

[@renaiya1666]

Primera gave me heavy Ecclesia vibes at a quick glance lol

[@TheWcasey]

This archetype looks pretty interesting.

[@tahoe7485]

its to bad that they already put "Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity" in the structure deck already. so that means the banlist wont hit it for along time. :( Get ready to use books for crimson dragon lol

What does this have to do with Gurren Lagann? These are magical mecha/knights.

[@wolfboy414_lac]

Pretty much half of the card arts are Gainax-era Mecha references (Stand-Up literally being the Gainax Pose). It's just that Gurren Lagaan is the most well known Gainax mecha anime in the west.

[@streetgamer3452]

Ye I don’t see it either. Mechas don’t instantly mean Gurren Lagann and the girls don’t give me the idea they’re following the story of it like gold pride did with redline

[@streetgamer3452]

@@wolfboy414_lacehh that feels very surface level. It’s like people saying good pride was a steel ball Tun reference just because there was a horse, before we got the guy literally running on a steel ball. It’s such a small inconsequential thing that doesn’t really show that it’s referencing it

[@hafizyb]

Because of the poses they make, the references here and there, the theme itself. Of course, I don't think it's sorely just Gurren either since Konami also likes to combine references from different things (in this case mecha and magical girls). In fact, I find it way harder to see how gold pride is redline instead of Centurion being gurren Langann.

[@streetgamer3452]

@@hafizyb I mean gold pride is an intergalactic race with a cool anime guy who faces a crazy looking ferocious villain and ends up saving a girl near the end of the race. It’s all redline with psychic boy being a reference to steel ball run .

I'm currently testing centurions splashed with: -bystial engine -continuous trap engine (you're finished/anguish/apophis) -pure, lots of handtraps/non engine And to be honest I can't find a single build that feels good to play, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the archetype can't compete with the current meta (testing vs my playgroup that plays labrynth, branded, dlink, infernoble)

[@Csthh]
