—Chant when declaring Ultimate Stride

G-BT13-002EN-ZR

Zeroth Dragon of Distant Sea, Megiddo

"Ultimate Stride" (究極超越アルティメットストライド Arutimetto Sutoraido) is a keyword exclusive to G units, and introduced in G Booster Set 13: Ultimate Stride. It is indicated by "Gyze's Crest" with the name next to it; thump.

Characteristics

G units with the "Ultimate Stride" ability generally have the following characteristics:

  • Like G units with Stride, they have a red-colored frame with golden lines, and they are grade 4 cards with "Triple Drive!!!".
  • They have an original power of 25000 (instead of the 15000/16000 that standard G units with Stride have), in addition to a "+", reflecting the fact that they gain power from their heart card.
  • They have a nation listed instead of a clan.
  • They have the Zeroth Dragon race.
  • They have an AUTO ability that activates when they are placed on (VC) which includes a cost of Counter Blast (2).

How It Works

  • G units with "Ultimate Stride" have a nation rather than a clan listed on their card. During deck construction, you can include "Ultimate Stride" units in your G deck of the same nation as the clan of your main deck.
  • "Ultimate Stride" works the same as Stride, but with the following differences:
    • "Ultimate Stride" can only be performed if you have three or more face up cards in your G zone. It does not matter if you or your opponent do not have a grade 3 or greater vanguard.
    • The cost for "Ultimate Stride" is to choose a card from your hand with the same name as a card on your (VC), and discard it. The grade of the discarded card does not matter.
    • When a G unit that was brought into play with Ultimate Stride returns to the G zone (e.g. at end of turn), immediately put all cards from your G zone into your removal zone face up. This zone is located away from the main zones of the game, but close enough so that the cards in it are visible to both players. The number of cards in your G zone becomes 0 as a result, so Generation Break abilities become no longer usable.
  • Cards that allow you to pay a different cost for Stride do not apply to Ultimate Stride unless otherwise specified.
  • If a G unit is placed on the field due to an effect that is not Ultimate Stride, it does not follow the conditions listed above.

Trivia

  • The kanji of the name (究極超越 Kyūkyoku Chōetsu) means "Ultimate Transcendence".
  • According to the Japanese Vanguard Column #54, discarding a card with the same card name as the vanguard can be interpreted as the "devouring your own future".
