Talk:Mirror Force Dragon (anime)

Is the damage "Mirror Force Dragon" inflicts due to its effect treated as Battle Damage?

YES.

• During Episode 180, Seto's turn, Seto uses "Mirror Force Dragon" to attack "Mirror Knight Pegasus", it reflects the attack back at "Mirror Force Dragon", which in turn absorbs its power and reflects it back again at every one of Dartz's monsters, destroying them. "Orichalcos Kyutora" is shown to absorb any damage to Dartz before it is destroyed.

Due to the particular way "Mirror Force" is handled during the entire course of the anime, the damage dealt by "Mirror Force Dragon" in this case is considered by the animators as Battle Damage.

• Think of "Mirror Force Dragon" as "reflecting" the attack back to all of Dartz's monsters. Therefore its 2800 ATK is subtracted from the ATK of each of Dartz's monsters: Dartz is dealt 2800-500=2300 damage for each of his "Mirror Knight Tokens" (excluding "Mirror Knight Pegasus" who has 2800 ATK due to its own effect) + 2300 damage for Kyutora. This is the only way in which a perfect total of 19500 is achieved (then add +500 ATK due to "The Seal of Orichalcos" and you have Shunoros's final ATK power of 20000).
