"Catapult Turtle" is an ancient card that appeared during the GAME King DM period, exists in the deck of the Dark Game, and has a very bright performance in several appearances in the anime. Although the catapult turtle is not a forbidden card in OCG, it has been powerful on the field a long time ago, and even a lot of big guys have been locked up in a small black house, and even they have been castrated by the K Society.
There are three versions of the effect of catapulting turtles. The effect of the anime version is to eject your own monsters with a catapult and die with the enemy. It is described by dark games as having the "ability to destroy walls and fortresses". In the anime, when the Dark Game is dueling against the Dark Dueling Killer, it uses the "Catapult Turtle" to launch the "Dragon Knight Gaia" to attack the enemy's "Obscure City", and the "Obscure City" falls and kills all the monsters below it, resulting in the defeat of the Dark Dueling Killer. In response to this plot, the K Society HIA later produced a new vest for it called "Shelled Catapult Turtle".
The effect after the initial OCG is that 1 monster existing on the field is sacrificed, and the opponent is damaged by half the attack power of this monster. This effect was once paired with the "Magic Guide Scientist" to build a blood-cutting FTK play. The effect of "Magic Scientist" is to pay 1000 HP to summon 1 fusion monster with less than 6 stars from the extra deck, and there is no limit to the number of times. The OCG rule player's HP is 8000 points, which is enough for the Magic Scientist to use the effect 7 times. The Magic Scientist special summon can be used as a sacrifice for the Catapult Turtle, and 7 monsters are enough to deal 8000 HP damage to opponents.
In addition, although the "Catapult Turtle" is a 5-star monster, it has only 1,000 attack points, and can be directly summoned from the deck by the effects of "Mother Grizzly Bear" and "Last Word". In addition, although the Catapult Turtle is a steel-made appearance on the katu, the race is not a mechanical race, but a water attribute water monster. In the unfortunate case, you can also summon your level down by 1 star directly from the hand card through the field magic card "Legendary Capital Atlantis". However, the K Society's treatment of this FTK construction is to ban the "magic guide scientist", and the "catapult turtle" thus escaped the disaster.
The reason why the K Society decided to process the source number of "catapult turtles" was the appearance of the Spirit Pendulum Summoning later. In the Spirit Pendulum Era, the star limit of monsters basically ceased to exist, and a large number of high-attack monsters could be pulled out in an instant through the Spirit Pendulum Summoning. Letting go of the "Catapult Turtle" card with a face full of I want FTK is not a small hidden danger in the environment.
This time, however, the K Society did not put the "Catapult Turtle" into the Small Black House as usual, but instead copied it in the "15th Anniversary Commemorative Merchandise Shootout King Memories - Decisive Speaker Kingdom Compilation - (15AY)", and imposed a limit of "1 round and 1 time" on the basis of the original effect.
