I remember someone saying earlier that they don't know the effect of the Living Arrow card... or...maybe I just read it wrong...IDK....

But anywayz....I wish they'd make up their minds what that card does.....cuz my bf said that it's the only card Yugi owns that not in print.....cuz it has WAY too many different effects in the show...

[B]Another mistake made throughout the entire show is that the amount of life points each player has when the duel begins is different from in the card game. In the show, the duelists start out with 2000LP (Duelist Kingdom) or 4000LP (Battle City). In the actual card game (and in the other games, including WWE) each player starts out with 8000LP. [/B][/QUOTE]



The duels in the episodes these days go for about two to three episodes, or more. If they did start at 8000 LP, they'd take a week to finish, and that'd probably be frustrating for us to watch. Not that watching duels isn't fun, but it's nice to have a plot going; if all it was were duels, then the show wouldn't be as interesting as it is.

Well, I looked up what LA does, on Edo's website. It's a Quick-play magic card that, once activated, destroys all opposing magic cards on the field, and does 500 points damage per card to your oponent.

So, when yugi used it against Pegasus to destroy toon World, that was the correct use of the card. When he used it against Kiaba....ack, that made no sense at all.

That's part of the thread's point, WolfofDarkstar. I don't know what you're trying to say exactly, but discussion should be free here.

It's mostly in the description of the cards' effects that makes the 'errors' in card rulings anyway- The Living Arrow has had three different effects so far- to merge a monster with one of your opponent's (and do some very strange things as in Yugi's match against Kaiba), to destroy magic and trap cards (against Pegasus), and to reflect an attack back against your opponent, (if I remember rightly, in the Duel against Bandit Keith). If the dialogue was written to make each card's effect clearer there probably wouldn't be so much of a problem.
