Rulings

  • The ATK/DEF of Gradius’ Option is the same as the current ATK/DEF of the selected Gradius, not the original ATK/DEF. So if you equip Axe of Despair to Gradius, the ATK of Gradius’ Option will also increase by 1000 points.
  • Equipping Axe of Despair to Gradius’ Option has no purpose. Activating Reinforcements targeting Gradius’ Option serves no purpose. Luminous Spark on the field will not change the ATK/DEF of Gradius’ Option. It always has the same ATK/DEF of the selected Gradius.
  • If the selected Gradius is Set, Gradius’ Option is destroyed.
  • If the selected Gradius is temporarily removed from play by the effect of Interdimensional Matter Transporter or Dimensionhole, Gradius’ Option is destroyed.
  • If you pick up Gradius’ Option by the effect of Cyber Jar you cannot Special Summon it, even if Gradius is also in the 5 cards you picked up. It is placed in your hand instead.
  • If you pick up Gradius’ Option by the effect of Morphing Jar #2 you cannot Special Summon it, and it is sent to the GY.
  • Q: "Gradius’s Option" vs. "Limiter Removal." Would "Gradius’s Option"’s ATK double twice? A: No, "Gradius’s Option's" base ATK is always whatever "Gradius's" is ATK is at the same time. 12/11/03
  • Q: Can "Gradius’s Option" be the target for the effects of "Witch of the Black Forest", "Sangan", "Shining Angel", or "Last Will"? A: You cannot search for a Gradius' Option with the effect of Sangan or Witch of the Black Forest. Gradius' Option cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of Shining Angel or Last Will.
