Gotenks

Description

As a core component of the Dragon Ball Super Card Game, this card is designated with a Rarity of L, marking it as a significant piece for any dedicated collector building their roster. The card identifies Gotenks as both a Saiyan and an Earthling, traits that define his unique gameplay interactions within the tournament environment. This card functions primarily as a Leader, establishing the foundation for a player's strategy. Its base Power is listed at 15000, providing a solid starting point for early-game aggression. The card's rules text offers a consistent advantage: whenever Gotenks attacks, the controller draws one card. This card-draw effect helps maintain resource advantage, a critical factor in long matches where hand management determines success. The card's most distinctive feature is its awakened state. When a player's Life is at 4 or less, they can activate an awakening effect. This triggers a card draw followed by flipping the card over to its back side. The awakened Gotenks boasts a significantly higher Power of 20000, transforming the board presence dramatically during clutch moments. Additionally, the back side includes an activate main effect usable once per turn. If the player uses an Extra with an original cost of 3 and includes both Saiyan and Earthling special traits, Gotenks gains +15000 power for that turn. This synergy rewards players who build decks around these specific character lineages. Collectors value this card not just for its mechanics but for its representation of Gotenks in the modern Dragon Ball Super Card Game landscape. The MANGA BOOSTER 02 set captures the essence of the series' latest iterations, making SB02-017 a sought-after item for those tracking the evolution of the game. Whether you are interested in the strategic depth of the awakening mechanic or the character's legacy, this card offers a compelling addition to any library.
