"Dominate" (支し配はい Shihai) is a keyword exclusive to the Nubatama clan, and introduced in G Trial Deck 13: Evil Eye Sovereign.

How it Works

A "Dominate" ability allows you to change the state of the specified unit to a dominated state, which temporarily changes the control of the dominated unit from its original master to the dominating player. The dominating player would gain access to the dominated unit's abilities, and can make that unit perform certain actions against the original master.

If the ability makes the unit peform an attack, it is done in the following form:

• The affected unit changes to [Stand] state if possible, and it becomes dominated.
• Choose one unit that is not dominated, as stated in the card text, and the dominated unit goes to attack that unit immediately, then perform a battle between them.
• After attacking, if there are no longer units that can be attacked, or if the dominated unit becomes unable to attack more, the unit stops being dominated. The turn continues in the phase where the unit was originally dominated.

Details

On Dominated Unit

• When a unit is being affected by any Dominate effect, it becomes a "dominated unit".
• When dominating multiple units, all units becomes dominated simultaneously.
  • If they attack, their attacks are performed one at a time, until there are no longer units that can be attacked or that are able to attack.
  • After finishing the last attack, or specified otherwise, all units stops being dominated simultaneously.
• If a Legion Leader or Mate becomes dominated, so does the other unit in Legion.
• A dominated unit can attack from the back row.
• A dominated unit cannot boost, cannot be boosted, cannot intercept.

On Players

• The new master who dominated is referred to as the "dominating player", and his or her opponent is referred to as "original master".
• As long as an opponent's unit is dominated, the player who dominates it will be regarded as the master of that unit, not his or her opponent.
• The dominating player may use the abilities of dominated unit, given the conditions are correct and the cost are paid.
  • Any cost is paid by using the dominating player's cards, including dominated units.
  • Any effect is played by using the dominating player's cards, including dominated units.
  • Conditions are checked by using the dominating player's cards as reference, including dominated units.
  • Abilities with "at the beginning/end of (step)" can be used, but not "at the beginning/end of (phase)".
• The dominating player cannot call or ride on top of a dominated unit.
• During the battle in which a dominated Vanguard is attacking, the dominating player perform drive check with their deck.

On Zones with Dominated Unit

• The circle where the dominated unit is in is now referred to from the dominating player's point of view.
  • If it is in the left column of the master, it is now on the right column of the dominating player.
  • When a circle changes its point of view, it is not considered to be in the player's front row nor back row.
  • The circle itself is not dominated. While it does change its point of view, it does not change masters.
  • Imaginary Gift do not provide any modification to dominated unit, even those that do so unconditionally such as Force II or Protect II.
• If the dominated unit moves for an effect or cost, the following happens:
  • If it moves to a non-circle zone, it moves to its owner's zone.
  • If it moves to a circle, the move cannot be performed, since the master of that circle and the owner of that card are different.

Trivia

• In the anime, the ability is depicted by the opponent unit's eyes turning red, and taking on a frenzied disposition.
  • When the Dominate ability was first used in the anime, a blood-curdling scream was also heard in the background.
• In lores, this ability's origin comes as a portion of Evil God Bishop, Gastille. It is based on the fact that the living dead in Relics are bound to fight between them forever.
