ColumnAugust 27, 2026Only 4 Cards Mention the Trash — All of Them EX Characters. They Place 6 Cards There, but Only 2 Say They Can Take Anything BackSearching all 38 entries in our card database (24 of which have readable effect text) for "trash" turns up exactly 4 cards — and those 4 are precisely the 4 confirmed EX Characters. They place a combined 6 Characters in the trash as payment, while only 2 cards say they summon anything back out of it. No revealed card touches the opponent's trash, and not one card says a K.O.'d card goes to the trash.
ColumnAugust 26, 2026Five Revealed Cards Say "Rest" — Two of Them K.O. Rested Characters, Yet Nothing Revealed So Far Actually Rests a CharacterSearching all 38 entries in our card database (24 of which have readable effect text) for the word "rest" returns five cards. Three of them rest something (the [Recovery] on both Leaders, plus the Summon card S-001); two of them care about rested Characters (Jiraiya N-006 and Orochimaru). Not one card rests an opponent's card. And "rest" never once overlaps with "face-up / face-down" — the game tracks two separate kinds of used-up state.
ColumnAugust 25, 2026Exactly One Revealed Card Says "Draw" — and It Doesn't Grow Your Hand. Only 2 of 38 Entries Mention the Hand at AllSearching all 38 entries in our card database (24 of which have readable effect text) for the word "hand" returns just two cards: Sasuke Uchiha's Leader card (N-012) and Sakura Haruno. Only N-012 says "draw" — and it puts a card from your hand back on top of your deck, so your hand size never changes. Not one revealed card adds cards to your hand. So where does the board come from? Here is what the revealed cards actually say, with confirmed facts kept apart from open questions.
