Shikigami


Appears in (anime)

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

Shikigami are a small archetype used by Sarina in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. They are identified by having "Silver Spirit -" or Magical Mirror Spirit - in their card names. By now, the only Monster Cards in this archetype are Silver Spirit - Ukyo, Silver Spirit - Sakyo, whose names refer respectively to the right and to the left direction also Magic Mirror Spirit - Asogi and Magic Mirror Spirit - Nayuta apear to represent the spirits of yin and yang.

Shikigami monsters all summon their 'partner' monster from the Graveyard when summoned; this is mostly used to place counters on Full Moon Mirror to activate Infinite Fiend Summoning Mirrors and then Tribute to Summon God of Darkness - Dark God, and also to summon Token Monsters to the field.

The monsters in this archetype are related to mirrors. Their ATK and DEF points are the inverse of their 'partner' (i.e. the mirror opposite). They also summon each other (as soon as one appears its 'reflection' also appeares or you can't have one without the other).

This archetype has a small collection of support cards comprised mostly of Trap Cards. They can only be activated if Silver Spirit - Sakyo and Silver Spirit - Ukyo are on the Field. They generally protect your monsters and destroy your opponent's, which also works towards placing counters on Full Moon Mirror.
