Tamer Card Oikawa Preview for Booster Set 8

[MarcFBR]

The Digimon Card Game Twitter has updated with a card preview from Booster Set 8 New Hero. This time it's tamer card Oikawa.

Oikawa gets some crisp and clean new artwork in an anime-like style. This isn't the only piece of merchandise Oikawa has, but he's certainly one of the more rare characters for merchandise. The new art looks very nice for an Adventure 02 villain who doesn't tend to show up that often outside of the show itself.

Wow Oikawa. I was expecting the Digimon Kaiser for purple (and I'll still wait for his appearence), but Oikawa is a welcome surprise. Quite menacing as usual

 

[Tarama]

I hope Akira, Atsushi, and many others someday will get their chance like Oikawa.

 

[Yamato-san]

Anyone wanna bet they'll release a Kurata card while STILL never featuring Gizmon?

 

[Bancho]

Oikawa being a "tamer" is pretty ironic

Yukio Oikawa
[All Turns] When your Digimon with [Myotismon] in its name is deleted, you may suspend this Tamer to gain 1 memory.
[End of Opponent's Turn] If this Tamer is suspended, you may trash this Tamer to play 1 [MaloMyotismon] from your trash without paying its memory cost.

Anyone wanna bet they'll release a Kurata card while STILL never featuring Gizmon?

You kidding? They'll release a Kurata card and his only effects will work on Gizmon and Belphemon.

 

[Muur]

Didn't think he'd ever come. He can now achieve his dream and be a tamer/digidestined and even spirit digivolve! (When dark comes)

shame his partner is a first stage baby... maybe have insert Digimon here as a purple baby and have Datirimon on the card with it too so that he can have it that way. Guess he instead acts as Myotismon's partner (which isn't 100% inaccurate I guess)

 

[robiu013]

I just hope they do Taichi's mom one day.

 

[Rohan]

Wow, was certainly not expecting Oikawa though he certainly fits the 02 theme. He's a little specific for my tastes, especially as the Vamdemon line isn't exactly spread out across levels so he's worthless until you get to at least LV5. Instead of protection, I would have preferred if you could reduce the cost to Evolve into a Vamdemon or soemthing.

Makes me wonder what they plan to do with Hikari now as given the presence of Ofanimon: FM, I had assumed she would be the Purple Tamer.

I just hope they do Taichi's mom one day.

To quote Archer: "Phrasing!"

 

[e105zeta]

I wonder if we’ll get the internationals someday? Having Michael to support the Betamons and Seadramons would be nice.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Oh hahaha. Didn't see that coming. Oh wish his partner gets evo already for this current booster series...

 

[Nagatem]

Honestly I think Oikawa should come back in a season 2 reboot if they ever do it, and just have his partners be mummymon and arukenimon, but they could actually be good guys, they weren’t even all that evil

 

[Yamato-san]

You know, I used to have a headcanon that Pipimon was actually Vamdemon's Baby form, only appearing after being killed and finally starting from square one. We did, after all, have other Partner Digimon going berserk from not having their Chosen Child around (ex. Millenniumon, Chocomon), and while Vamdemon is widely viewed as being an evolution of Devimon, there doesn't seem to be any "canon" Baby form (PicoDevimon seems to fluctuate between evolving from PetitMeramon, Tsumemon, Pagumon, and maybe some others not off the top of my head). Though I guess I more or less abandoned this idea after seeing Pipimon's Reference Book profile, which suggests that its appearance was entirely symbolic of Oikawa's regained hope and nothing else.
