Infernity had naturally been the highest-priority project Kira had planned to inspect on this return to the Synchro Dimension, but it was far from his only gain.
Another Deck archetype, likewise born in the 5DS dimension yet plagued by practical issues until now, had also made progress in its research.
It was the Earthbound Immortals, the archetype that had appeared in the Dark Signer Arc of 5DS. When they first descended, they had made an overwhelming impression and contributed Crab Bro's legendary Pulling the Screw moment.
However, despite also having "God" in their name, the Earthbound Immortals seemed inherently a tier less impressive than the Egyptian God Cards or Evil Gods from the moment they debuted.
That was not only because some Earthbound Immortals had rather underwhelming individual effects dragging the archetype down, but also because their shared "no Field Spell, no work" condition was quite the deduction.
It was meant to reflect the "earthbound" aspect of their design, but being bound to Field Spells gave the archetype an enormous inherent weakness.
Still, even if their grandeur had taken a hit, their practical value—especially in the Anime Environment—remained quite good.
Everyone in the Anime Environment had four thousand Life Points, while Earthbound Immortals could Direct Attack through Monsters. One slap could wipe out most of one's Life Points, making that ability incredibly powerful. Even Crab Bro had been forced into Pulling the Screw upon first encountering them; otherwise, 5DS might have ended early with the Earthbound Immortals slapping the series into its closing credits.
Though Kira thought highly of the archetype, its actual use still posed problems.
After the Dark Signer Arc ended, especially after the God of the Underworld who had personally entered the fray was defeated, Kira had essentially collected every Earthbound Immortal card. But the issue in
