Battle Spirits JPN Set 13: CONSTELLATION SAGA, Chapter IV ~Monarch of the Starry Skies~ [COMPLETE!!]

Just as promised, I am now working on both older cards as well as the latest sets released (see the Shining Charge/Dark Rush thread for a preview into the new saga starting this weekend!). This post will cover the final leg in our trek through the stars...

The Showdown at the Skyscraper reaches its climax, with an ending neither side expected! With everything going to extremes (and the world practically crumbling around her), Astral Scholar Lyria decides enough is enough; for the sake of the future, she takes matters into her own hands by forming an army of her own...! Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo—the final Zodiac Trinity of Fire—enter the scene, but why do two of the three look so suspiciously familiar...? Their origin story will surprise you! The gathered powers of the Zodiac Twelve (or should that be "Thirteen"...?) summon the ultimate Galactic Guardian, and Sieg-Apollodragon's evolutionary line is completely unveiled. And speaking of unveiling, just who or what is Rolo the Wanderer? Just what is his connection with Otherrealm besides being a mere observer? The final entry in his Observation Records reveal an astonishing secret you have to read to believe!!

All of this is featured in the thirteenth Japanese expansion set, CONSTELLATION SAGA, Chapter IV ~Monarch of the Starry Skies~ (星座編第四章「星空の王者」 SEIZAHEN, Daiyonshou: Hoshizora no Ouja), released 22 July 2011 [46 Commons/18 Uncommons/12 Rares/8 Master Rares/6 X-Rares + 7 Special X-Rares + 1 Promo X-Rare Extra!]. Here, we are introduced to the first ever Double Brave Spirit and possibly the most expensive Spirit in existence to date!

<<Translator's Note: As Ophiuchus can be found along the elliptical line with the twelve constellations of the Zodiac (wedged between Scorpio and Sagittarius), there are many followers of astrology who believe that Ophiuchus should be accepted as a 13th zodiac sign; likewise many Battle Spirits fans consider Asclepioz "the Zodiac Twelve's Number Thirteen." The fact that Asclepioz is a "Galaxian" like the Zodiac Twelve instead of just another "Astral Soul" further validates this claim.>>

Lastly as a bonus at the trading card vending machines, what happens when the powers of the Zodiac Twelve—or "Thirteen," as it were—combine? The ultimate Zodiac Guardian of the Galaxy is born! Just be careful of its Core Cost, because it's a doozie...

[X-011] ZODIAC APOLLO CRIMSON, DRAGONKNIGHT OF THE MILKY WAY GALAXY {12} -1R, -1A, -1E, -1D, -1T, -1S
The GalacticDragonRider Zodiacapollocrimson (光導神龍ゾディアックアポロクリムゾン Koudou-Shinryuu Zodiakku-Aporo-Kurimuzon)
Promo X-Rare Ruby Spirit [R] Astral Deity/Dragon Knight
Level 1 <1>: 12,000BP, Level 2 <5>: 24,000BP
<Debut Campaign Appearance: "Apollodragon's Zodiac Evolution Campaign" (22 July 2011)>

When Summoned (Lv. 1-2): Reveal the top twelve cards in your deck. From among these cards, summon as many "Galaxian" and "Astral Deity" Attribute Spirits as you wish, completely ignoring any Core Cost or Tribute Summoning requirements. Any "When Summoned" effects your new Spirit(s) may have do not activate when using this ability. Discard any remaining cards afterwards.
[BRAVE FUSION] During Your Attack Phase (Lv. 2): Treat all of your "Galaxian" Attribute Spirits as having 12,000 Battle Points each for Battle Levels 1, 2, and 3.
"All the powers of the Galaxians are now united as one!!" —A memo from Mixx the Negotiator—

...Sheesh... This may arguably be the most colorful post I have ever written...

thanks for completing BS13

It's been a while coming, but finally, Set 13 is complete!! And what a revealing trip it was!

We come to the obvious realization that Japan loves their dragons; you need look no further than Sieg-Apollodragon's many evolutionary forms! {Evolutionary Path: Sieg-Apollodragon the Solarwyrm —> Sieg-Apollodragon, Astral Wyrm of the Big Dipper —> Seventh Apollodragon the Ultimate Solarwyrm —> Rising Apollodragon, Dragonlord of the Sun —> (destroyed in battle against Strikewurm Leo, then resurrected by Prof. Lyria as a Zodiac Deity) Sagitto Apollodragon, Divine Centaur Dragonknight} ...To be honest, I'm inclined to believe that Zodiac Apollo Crimson could be Sieg-Apollodragon's true ultimate form... Then again, that could also be dragon-loving wishful thinking on my part!

Bolmeteus pretty much hit it square on the nose! The last entry in the Observation Records (see [BS13-083] Galaxy Eternal Requiem) unveils that Rolo in essence became Otherrealm itself...! This was the "grand rebirth" he alluded to at the Lighthouse of Guidance. Perhaps this is the reason the realm is called "Grand Rolo" throughout all of "Battle Spirits: Shounen Gekiha Dan"...??

In any case, with the Blade's Edge Saga releasing in only a couple of weeks, I now find myself with a new challenge: DOUBLE DUTY!! Yes, that means I'll be working on two different sets over the coming months, but for those of you anxious to find out the latest on Battle Spirits, don't worry! I'll put the main portion of my focus on Sword Generation (Set 19). I just hope I don't "crash" too often in the process... We're still in the middle of card previews for the new set, so keep an eye on the "These Cards are Amazing" posts for (near) daily updates, and in due time, we shall all enter into a new skirmish between Light and Darkness, where Spirits and Swords are your keys to victory! Until then, may your Battle Spirits forever burn bright!

Now Split-Warp Advancing to Two New Stages:...>> 14. "Legend of the Dragon Hero" & 19. "Sword Generation: Age of the Sacred Blades"

Awesome, as usual! I never really read the untranslated flavor text, so I didn't know that Rolo actually became Otherrealm. That's pretty crazy.

Asklepiooze is definitely intended to be the 13th Zodiac X-rare. It's outright stated in the Battle Spirits Brave anime.

thnx, really great to get so quickly full set, finnaly i can use also this set for my decks:-)
keep up good work!

[BS13-023] MOUNTAIN SEIKAI {5} -2E
Mountain-Seikai (マウンテン・セイカイ Maunten-Seikai)
Rare Emerald Spirit [E] Imp
Level 1 <1>: 4000BP, Level 2 <3>: 6000BP, Level 3 <7>: 12,000BP

During Your End Phase (Lv. 1-2-3): Refresh all of your Level-2-and-higher Spirits.
[BRAVE FUSION] When in Battle: When the Battle Phase ends, you can refresh this Spirit by returning this Spirit's Brave to your hand.
"As if responding to each other's presence, the twelve Star Cores flashed brilliantly as they started to revolve, maintaining equal distance from each other. The Cores rapidly gained speed until they seemed to merge into one continuous halo of light... The legendary Mother Core has appeared! Then, as if falling into an entranced sleep, Prof. Lyria closed her eyes and began to whisper..." —A memo from Mixx the Negotiator—
<<Name Origin (Fusion): "Mountain Gorilla" + 三好清海入道 "Miyoshi Seikai Nyuudou" (yet another of Sanada's Ten Brave Ninja)>>

this part of the file might miss something data?

i mean at the other web wiki source translation writes about "WHEN BRAVED LV 3" ? or not???

next question:

BS13-026 Kigna-Swan Mk-II: Machine Beast/Astral Soul
- Flash Timing: During Your Attack Phase (Lv. 1-2-3)

but at database:

Lv1-Lv2-Lv3:Flash (Each Player's Attack Step)...

which is correct/official now?

I most sincerely apologize for those mistakes, and I thank you and your sharp eyes, Bolmeteus, for finding them. Both cards have been updated with the correct information.

***EDIT (09 October 2012): [BS13-023]: Added a missing "Level 3" to Mountain Seikai's "When Brave Fused" ability; [BS13-026]: Should have been "During Each Attack Phase," not just your Attack Phase***

oh please just don't, you do all this work, hehe

next question small:

[BS13-043] IKAROSH THE BIRDMAN {3} -2S
The Birdman Ikarosh (鳥人イカロッシュ Choujin Ikarosshu)
Common Sapphire Spirit [S] Beast Head
Level 1 <1>: 3000BP, Level 2 <3>: 5000BP

During Each Attack Phase (Lv. 1-2): When any 3-Core-Cost Spirit attacks, its owner must send one Core from his/her Reserve to his/her Trash, or else they cannot attack.

at the database is written "3 or less" corecost, so which is official/correct?

and another question:

"BS13-048 The AncientBattleship Argo-Golem: Artificial Soldier/Astral Soul
- When summoned (Lv. 1-2): When you have four Nexus with "Ancient Battleship" in their names on your Field, destroy all of your opponent's Spirits and Nexus."

in this case databse written "four different", so which wording is to be used? because i see as collector to hard get all battleship cards and four "DIFFERENT" is other gameplay than let's say "2 same name x2 copies each", you see:-)
