Q: What are these?   A: These are cards from the Case Closed TCG!

---

Promotional cards are only distinct from their base counterparts by the white-colored icon in the top right corner. Promos are just alt art versions of existing cards, but are exceptionally rare as they could not be obtained in booster packs or starter boxes, instead only being available as tournament prizes or coupled with other media.

Two sets of CC TCG promo cards exist, one for each booster release. Every Premier starter box comes with a small poster which includes these alt art cards in its set count, however no such list exists for Crime and Punishment that was released to the public (there is only an equally rare promotional poster).

This card is from the Premier release and was obtained via a first-edition print copy of Viz's release of Case Closed Vol. 7 in 2005. A sticker on the front of the volume claims this version was limited to 8000 copies; the card was contained in a sleeve behind the back cover and is the alt-art release of Premier #120 (rare rarity). Interestingly, the wrong art is used on the sleeve the alt-art version is packaged in, instead depicting the standard release.

Early sale sheets for the Premier set show that Score Entertainment intended to print foil cards for this TCG (1 per booster pack). I imagine this was also the plan for promo cards but have heard from other collectors that they ultimately didn't bother as the TCG had already been written off prior to production (however, info about this game being so scarce... I cannot confirm with a source).

The story of Funimation’s rescue of One Piece from 4kids.

[transsonicfan2006]

Here's a hot take. I unironically think the 4kids One Piece theme song is better than the Funimation theme song. I will not be elaborating.

SHATTERED HERO ~ Origins of the Ink Demon : Episode Maka Finale (1/11) ~

"After manty time traveling events to put a stop on their common foes...We formed an alliance with the Sailor Senshi scouts who were the supposed to the targets for Dark Nebula's conquest, that failed. the men that he dealt with have been very greedy for a one-eyed star of eerie darkness and has committed their sins."

"But thanks to Homura Akemi's efforts, 2006 will might clear the events and all evidence of the Solaris Incident will never make it happen."

[Separation - Masamichi Amano]

Minako : Hey, Usagi. Now that the big bads are gone, what's gonna happen to our old foes when true archnemesis is planning on retiring as a villain soon? Should we the Sailor Scouts planning on keeping the dangers out of us?

Usagi : Hmmm...You know what, Minako? I suggested bad things in the 90s has ever happened to us, Men like them are such disgusting pigs that has ever wanted to ruin our reputation same goes to my brother. Although he did try to battle with us before Dark Nebula killed him. But it's all good now that he's gone and I was the one who ended his life. But I didn't mean that and me Usagi is the only one left that is ever in the Tuskino name as Serenity. So, umm, yep.

Minako : That's gladly to hear. Anyways there's seems to be a black hole that Daroach or Dark Nebula went off. So we gotta prepare our training for the final battle. This could be our final effort on saving the galaxy before everything gets easily be in the palms of Demon Vibe's hands.

Usagi : I know. At least we have dessert in the freezer s storage. Who knows about that Shingo heartless actually a doppelganger.

Minako : So that Shingo that tried to corrupt us was another heartless doppelganger? So then...Where's the real Shingo?

Usagi : About that.

Minako : Usagi? Where is your brother?

Usagi : He was supposed to be dead. And I never that a doppelganger of him was just a heartless.

Minako : Then what happened to your brother?

(cuts to Shingo in a freeze room, where had been frozen inside of a big block of ice)

Minako : You mean he's been frozen for what?!

Ikuko : About 15 years since our debut. He wasn't killed by the Toguro brothers and that heartless that was killed was actually his doppelganger.

Minako : How the heck did that happened? Who would freeze him by accident?

Ikuko : Well...

*flashback*

Yukina : So, you're Usagi's younger brother. How funny than you can be thirteen years old and I'm older you. So you want to be nasty little Shota boy so that you can make your humiliated, am I correct?

Shingo : Not really? People make fun of me saying that I harass my sister and then I had make a harem out of this to be myself. I just realize that I called Peter Griffin a dorky fat numb nuts!

Yukina : Hey, that's not cool!

Shingo : My friends just called that Kuwabara is a poop nose!

Ikuko :Shingo! Where are your manners! Sorry about that. You see he gets into the thirteen year-old stuff about that of making on his thirteenth birthday. But I'm glad that you officially did the babysitting thing.

Yukina : My pleasures.

Ikuko : So, will there be extra charges on how do you plan to give us the heat of this feeling before Usagi comes home?

Yukina : I got this weird cold feeling about my brother and all...to think about that. It's this allergy season that I...Ah...Ahh...ACHOOO!

*DBZ SFX : Explosion*

Yukina : Oops.

*flashback ends*

Usagi : Wait, so my brother isn't dead.

Ikuko : Nope. It was a non canon move. So that's why Yukina had to baby sit your brother and I even have to come back before she literally froze us over a year by sneezing to making it about "2000 years later."

(siren wailing)

Usagi : That idiotic snow cone! She frozed my house on purpose! I'm sorry! But I believe to be having some insurance for all of that amnesia crap! This sucks![hears door opens]

[Moonlit Army - Konami Music Center]

Ami : Usagi! Usagi! Terrible news!

Usagi : Ami! What happened?! What is it?

Ami : It's Chibiusa and Mamoru. They've been captured by a recolored Shadow!

Usagi : A what?

Ami : I thought Luna told us that Shingo the heartless has been coming to HQ. But turns out that heartless that came to attack us was a diversion. And also he gave this to you!

Usagi : What's this? (A hologram of Mephiles appears)

Mephiles : Superheroes! I've been waiting for you!

[Mephiles' Whisper - Hideaki Kobayashi]

Usagi : You! You used the Darkside heartless as a distraction! You took Chibiusa and Tuxedo Man didn't you! He had been in suspended animation for 15 years! What couldn't you be more happy? Hope you die or something!

Mephiles : I have captured in the palm of hands and I've got them hostage. You'll do something cool if you want to find out.

Usagi : Alright, dweeb. What do you want from us, superheroes?

Mephiles : The Time Eater's relative. It came on the hunt to seek me down and when I do, I will destroy it in my awakening for the final curtain call. If you would save these four hostages that are needed to be saved, then come to the Dusty Desert Zone through the gate. Come, you will know the pain and suffering to these loved ones if you will not give in my demands.

Usagi : What happens if our demands are not met within the next 24 hours?

Mephiles : They'll drown in Darkness forever and enjoy the pain and suffering. They are the best teachers they've ever known to succumb.

Usagi : Okay! I'll be there soon! *CRUSH!* You'll pay for that, Sega. That is I promise.

"meanwhile back in Flame Core..."

[Mephiles Phase 1 - Hideaki Kobayashi]

Homura Akemi : So, finally we meet.

Mephiles : You there. You must be the Time Eater's relative.

Homura Akemi : Listen up, recolor. You better talking to me face-to-face when I see you dropped dead and never talk alot of sh** about you blowing the worlds away. Whether it's Real World or Sonic's.

Mephiles : Indeed. But can you tell me that you are sent from the future to fix this year's greatest mistake that has been ever made?

Homura Akemi : That's right. I am Homura Akemi. You are the second of son of Amaterasu. I knew everything about this incident caused by the Duke of Soleanna. There was something going on when the Time Stone from Miracle Planet had something to do with time and space. Father Time knew exactly what are your plans was. These conspiracies and theories of the death of Elise were only a stage. A setup caused by your manipulation! That's called deception! In Mortal Kombat, they say that "Damashi" is japanese for "Deceive" and "Deception".

Mephiles : Rhetorical question, girl. But I have been deceiving Silver into killing the one in the past just to let you know that I am receiving the opportunity of making three hedgehogs fight each other. And then my plan is to target the one to kill.

Homura Akemi : That's your plan. Making someone to die and then make someone consume the despair. You got that Sephiroth? Sephiroth told you that!?

Mephiles : It's true. Sephiroth is the giver to humanity's despair, how it happened in the old world of Shinra Kusakabe before Soul World's existence. Whether Real World dies or the universe of it will cease to exist.

Homura Akemi : And I believe that the Ohkuboverse's core was none other than Demon Vibe. And hope was actually the gift of light from Angel Vibe.

Mephiles : True that! Their research on the Kusakabe Legacy is worth every hero's life that something that needed to be lost and thrown all of it away!

Homura Akemi : No way! I will never loose to the likes of you! The Real World is for everyone and not the Ohkuboverse! the Mashimaverse is truly the universe of all fantasies that they will never wake up to real life!

Mephiles : And guess what. That so called Kishin that threatens to corrupt the entire planet was nothing more than a heartless decoy, a puppet controlled by Demon Vibe.

Homura Akemi : The Kishin that Shinigami caused was a heartless, and the original Asura was part of the Kusakabe, Necrodeus killed him. Demon Vibe wanted the power so badly, the galaxy will be in the palm of his hands!

Mephiles : Kids these days! I am running out of time! I don't have time for this! (Creates time barrier to teleport away)

"later..."

Homura Akemi : Hey, get back here! (goes into the Time Barrier)

Liz Thompson : Man! 2006 is always like this. Ever since the 2006 winter olympics, I still don't get what happened to Nevada. It's like the state that was never really means home to us. But I thought we the Mabuki were created by Shotaro to defend these the inhabitants of earth. We're not even that kind. It feels like that the Mabuki were a tool to the devil's legacy and the will of it's own.

Patty Thompson : I'm glad this Soul Eater thing is way out of our league, It's just the two of us being together after what really happened on that terrible night.

Liz Thompson : Glad that every culture is diverse and we the people are not the ones who wanted a fair fight. Believe it or not, we humans are tools to defend humanity from the forces of what, Evil? Yeah that is what Mermaid Man would want to say that. Every Villain Is Lemons.

Patty Thompson : I guess your right. Every Villain is Lemons. Superheroes are the true defenders of humanity and not us. We tools of Shinra's kind is totally stupid and that's why Ashley's kind was the victim of their confusion and of course, deception.

Liz Thompson : Which why needed things to avoid ourselves from getting into that dangerous situation!

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Excuse me, but are you two the Thompsons?

Liz Thompson : Yeah that's us. And you are...

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : I'm Tsubaki Nakatsukasa of the Nakatsukasa Family. I am an agent of the Japanese government.

Liz Thompson : Hold up. You're Tsubaki Nakatsukasa? You must be a friend of Maka or something.

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Friends to Maka? We were never friends to Maka or the Maka Albarn that we were never friends in the past.

Liz Thompson : ....Say what?
