History

The Unbridled God of the Underworld, Anubis, was intended to be included with the Ni-Ki-Oh! Season 4 DVD, where Anubis was expected to appear in the original season finale. However, since the season was later divided multiple seasons and never completed principle photography, this card was only revealed to the world as part of Card of the Day. The original effect was:
This card can only be Special Summoned by offering monsters whose total Level Stars equal 12 or more from your side of the field or your hand. When this card is summoned, you can equip up to 2 "Axe of Despair" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard, or that were removed from play to this card. While this card is face-up on the field, you can activate Trap Cards from your Deck. Shuffle your Deck afterward. This card is not affected by the effects of Magic, Trap, or Monster cards.
The latter part of the effect quickly led to confusion among players, because it was unclear what the purpose of the equipped Axe of Despair cards would be unless they could affect Anubis.

The card was finally printed beginning August 6, 2007, in the DMT2 Tournament Pack, a promotional expansion pack legal during the Cracked Egg Studios-sanctioned Duel Monsters Tournament II, with the updated effect shown here.

5/10

Stats: Divine/Divine-Divine Beast/Zombie is some handy typing. It has 5000/1400 making it super violent.

8.1/10

Effect: Wow. That's like, really unfair.

9.9/10

Ease of Use: As great as it is to just special summon it, there's nothing against a normal summon by tribute of two monsters. Tributes may be hard, but his trap calling effect is brilliant.

7.2/10

Stupid Combo:

Play this card = Gay-muh End-uh.
