• This card can be searched by "Battle Shogun of the Six Samurai", "Rogue of Endymion", "Watch Cat", "Watch Dog", "The Despair Uranus", and other generic searchers.

• You can remove Bushido Counters from other cards like "Six Samurai United", "Shien's Dojo" or "Temple of the Six" to activate the effects of this card.
• Because you can use this card's second effect multiple times per turn, it can potentially lead to loops by tributing monsters, then returning them to your hand again:

OTK's

"Hand of the Six Samurai" + 2 "Six Samurai United" and/or "Shien's Dojo"/1 "United"/"Dojo" + "Temple of the Six"

1. Activate this card and the two other cards that can hold Bushido Counters.
2. Normal summon Hand of the Six Samurai (Gateway gains two Bushido Counters and the two other cards each gain 1 Bushido Counter).
3. Remove all four Bushido Counters from your field with this card to search "Legendary Six Samurai - Kizan".
4. Special Summon "Kizan", gaining four Bushido Counters again.
5. Remove all four counters again to search a second "Kizan".
6. Special summon the second "Kizan", gaining four Bushido Counters again.
7. Remove all four counters again to search a third "Kizan", and special summon him, gaining four Bushido Counters again.
8. Overlay all three Kizans to Xyz summon "Evilswarm Ouroboros" or "Number 104: Masquerade", or overlay two of them to Xyz summon "Gagaga Cowboy" in defense position.
9. Use the effect of "Ouroboros", "Masquerade", or "Cowboy" to either send one card from your opponent's hand to the graveyard, send the top card from your opponent's deck to the graveyard, or inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
10. Use the effect of this card to remove the four Bushido Counters to return the detached "Kizan" to your hand (or search "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" if you summoned "Masquerade"), and special summon him, gaining four Bushido Counters again.
11. Use the effect of "Hand of the Six Samurai" to tribute the "Kizan"/"Grandmaster" you special summoned in step 10 to destroy "Ouroboros", "Masquerade", or "Cowboy", sending it and the other Kizans to your graveyard.
12. Repeat steps 3-11, but return the copies of "Kizan" from your graveyard to your hand and special summon them, then Xyz summon a second (and later third) copy of "Ouroboros", "Masquerade", or "Cowboy".
13. After you have destroyed all three copies of "Ouroboros", "Masquerade", or "Cowboy", Xyz summon "Daigusto Emeral" with two copies of "Kizan", and use his effect to return them to your extra deck and draw 1 card.
14. Return "Kizan" from your graveyard to your hand again with this card, and special summon him.
15. Tribute "Kizan" with "Hand of the Six Samurai" to destroy "Emeral".
16. Repeat the above steps (with a second copy of "Emeral" in your extra deck to recycle the first copy) until you send your opponent's entire hand to their graveyard with "Ouroboros", send your opponent's entire deck to their graveyard with "Masquerade", or inflict 8000 points of damage with "Cowboy".
    • NOTE: The above loop is no longer possible in the TCG with the forbidding of "Daigusto Emeral" in the September 2017 Lists.
