Battle Spirits JPN Set 15: SUPREME HEROES SAGA, Chapter II ~The Golden Earth~ [COMPLETE!!]

The Six Shield Nations are about to face their greatest crisis yet, as legendary creatures of ancient times rise up from the depths of Oblivion to wreak havoc across the lands...!!

This is the main backdrop story for the fifteenth set of Battle Spirits: SUPREME HEROES SAGA, Chapter II ~The Golden Earth~ (覇王編第二章「黄金の大地」HAOUHEN, Dainishou: "Ougon no Daichi"), released on 16 December 2011. This 90-card set [46 Commons/18 Uncommons/12 Rares/8 Master Rares/6 X-Rares + 1 Extra Promo X-Rare] will feature a brand new requirement and strategy for Burst Triggers, and as always, historic heroes and remake appearances galore, including among them Sieg-Yamato-Fried's next enhanced stage!

And if you thought the Special Sapphire Abilities CRUSH and ASSAULT were enough trouble for your decks, just wait until you see what the newest Sapphire keyword COLLAPSE (Original Japanese: 大粉砕 Daifunsai, "Grand Crush") has in store for you...!

By the way, you may notice that my translation format is slightly different this set than usual. That's because this set's translations will be based mostly off of Bolmeteus' own translations for this set, which he submitted some six months ago. Shout outs to you, Bolmeteus! Enjoy.

WHAT?!
YOU USE SOMETHING FROM ME?! OMG BUT I JUST REWORKED THE WIKI MATERIAL...

There's no need to worry, Bolmeteus. I just figured that since you were the first to take a crack at translating this set, I should give credit where it is due.

AT LAST!! Set 15 is complete! ...Funny, it probably shouldn't have taken this long, considering I had Bolmeteus' help (Curse me for being so easily distracted with sports...!) Anywho, I'll have to cut this brief because I have an errand to run for Mom.

Coming up in the sixteenth set, Hajime Hinobori's ace spirit gets a new powerful form, Supreme Hero Spirits get even more support, and we finally get to see what the heck this "MACH SPEED" is all about! See you next set!

Now Advancing to the Next Stage...>>: [BS16] "Bursting Path of Champions"
