"Let's settle this!"
Having summoned Polar God Emperor Thor, Dragan's presence visibly surged, and his confidence seemed to rise with it. He carried himself as though no one else mattered.
The Three Polar Gods of the Astral Realm were Odin, Thor, and Loki. In the anime, they were Gods certified by race and attribute. But unlike the Egyptian God Cards and Evil Gods, the Three Sacred Beasts had no universal resistances such as trap immunity or spells lasting for one turn. In terms of resistance, the Three Sacred Beasts were practically blank. Only Loki possessed a partial trap resistance: the ability to negate one Trap Card during battle.
In exchange, the Three Sacred Beasts possessed a universal immortality ability.
The Three Polar Gods of the Astral Realm in the anime were all immortal. So long as they were in the Graveyard during each End Phase, they could automatically revive themselves, and each gained a beneficial effect when revived this way. Although the physical cards retained this ability, they added the restriction of needing to Banish one Polar Star Monster from the Graveyard, making the number of revivals limited and drastically reducing their practicality.
Beyond that shared ability, each Polar God also had its own individual effects.
For example, Kira remembered that Polar God Emperor Thor's effect was "effect absorption." Once Per Turn, Thor could negate the effects of one Monster on the opponent's Field until the End Turn, and During this Turn, Thor could gain that Monster's effects. It was the same type of ability as Yusei's Savior Star Dragon.
This effect had also been weakened in the physical card version. The physical-card Thor could only negate effects, not steal them.
But Kira only had Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest on his Field. Its effect let it revive itself
