REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE: Goku is a Saiyan originally sent to destroy Earth as an infant. However, a head injury at an early age alters his memory, ridding him of his initial destructive nature and allowing him to grow up to become one of Earth's greatest defenders. Goku constantly strives and trains to be the greatest warrior possible, a habit which has kept the Earth and the universe safe from destruction many times.

Updates

• 4/20/2024 - Saiyan Transformation wording updated.

[Arch-vile]

Changes from 1.0:

- Saiyan Transformation now works with Event Hero Gokus too, so that base Goku can transform into Gogeta along with future designs for Super Saiyan Blue, Ultra Instinct, etc.

- Saiyan Transformation also moves OMs over upon death to mirror the Great Ape transformation and to just make more sense in gameplay.

I don't think you need "this Goku" when italics or not is already distinguishing them.

I might say "use a normal move action" rather than "move normally" for clarity

I'd probably say "After Goku defends" rather than "When Goku defends" in the last ability, just to get sharper on timing.

Edits.

For pasteability.

Thanks guys. I'll have to remember to update the wording on Super Saiyan Goku's Kamehameha as well.

[IAmBatman]

The italicized version just refers to any figure named Goku, right, whereas the non-italicized refers specifically to this card? So I'd keep the "other" stuff in there before the italicized references to clarify you don't mean this Goku.

[Arch-vile]

Yeah, that makes sense. Wording that power made my brain hurt which is why I had all the extra "other Goku / this Goku" stuff in there.

[Arch-vile]

I propose for Final Editing
