"'''Earthbound Immortal'''", known as "'''Earthbound God'''" ({{Ruby|地|じ}}{{Ruby|縛|ばく}}{{Ruby|神|しん}} ''Jibakushin'') in Japan, is an [[archetype]] of [[Level 10]] [[DARK]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. They were used by the [[Dark Signer]]s in the anime.

"'''Earthbound Immortal'''", known as "'''Earthbound God'''" ({{Ruby|地|じ}}{{Ruby|縛|ばく}}{{Ruby|神|しん}} ''Jibakushin'') in Japan, is an [[archetype]] of [[Level 10]] [[DARK]] monsters. They were used by the [[Dark Signer]]s in the anime.
  
"[[Earthbound Revival]]" and "[[Roar of the Earthbound]]" are also "Earthbound Immortal" cards because they have 「{{Ruby|地|じ}}{{Ruby|縛|ばく}}{{Ruby|神|しん}}」 in their Japanese names.
+
"Earthbound Immortal" are based on the [[wikipedia:Nazca Lines|Nazca Lines]]. Each of them is pictured rising from its corresponding Line and their form matches the being they represent and their Type.
  
They all have [[Card effect|effect]]s that allow them to [[attack]] the opponent [[Direct attack|directly]] and make them unable to be selected as an attack target. (In the anime, a player can attack the opponent directly if the only monster a controls is an Earthbound Immortal;<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|46|ref}}</ref> this is not the case in the ''TCG''/''OCG''. Also, in the anime only they are unaffected by Spell and Trap effects.)
 
 
Because all but one of them have high original ATK, they are often able to easily crush opponents. However, this power comes with two drawbacks:
 
* There can only be 1 "Earthbound Immortal" on the field at a time.
 
* An "Earthbound Immortal" will immediately [[destroy]] itself when no [[Field Spell Card]] is in play.
 
 
"Earthbound Immortals" also have a small but very potent series of support cards that allow them to further oppress the opponent. Their artworks all feature them emerging from a hole in the ground from which blue flames are emerging.
 
 
"Earthbound Immortal" refers to the [[Nazca Lines]] they were imprisoned in. Each "Earthbound Immortal" is pictured rising from the ground, and each has a different ground texture on their artwork.
 
 
==Anime==
 
The Earthbound Immortals are incarnations of evil entities that were sealed in the [[Nazca Lines]] by the [[Dragon Star]] and its servants 5000 years before the events of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. The Dark Signers and Signers have repeated their battles every 5000 years.<ref name="ep30">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|30|ref}}</ref><ref name=ep57">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|57|ref}}</ref>
 
 
They are each in the shape of a Nazca Line. Each member of the [[Dark Signer]]s wears striped robes bearing the color of their corresponding "Earthbound Immortal".
 
 
Their colors come from [[wikipedia:Wiphala|Wiphala]], the banner of the Inca Empire, with only white missing from the range of colors. In addition, each color of the "Earthbound Immortals" is also a color of the rainbow.
 
 
The "Earthbound Immortals" serve as to the antithesis to the [[Crimson Dragon]] and the [[Signer Dragon]]s, serving the [[King of the Netherworld]] instead. [[Roman Goodwin]] intentionally caused the [[Zero Reverse]] accident to set the Earthbound Immortals free, killing himself in the process. The [[Three Pure Nobles]] manipulated this incident. The accident created infinite negative energy and ultimately opened a hole to the underworld, allowing the "Earthbound Immortals" to escape.
 
 
The original Ener-D Reactor used the names of the Earthbound Immortals as codenames. [[Earthbound Immortal Uru]] refers to the Ener-D Reactor itself, while the other four original Earthbound Immortal's names each refer to one of the reactor's control units. [[Chacu Challhua]] and [[Wiraqocha Rasca]] do not have control units.
 
 
In episode 111, [[Greiger]] told [[Yusei]] and [[Jack]] that the "Earthbound Immortals" "could be used again by another evil." Whether this is really foreshadowing or not remains unknown.
 
 
In the anime, if there is no face-up [[Field Spell Card]], their effects are [[negate]]d and they are destroyed during the [[End Phase]]. This is not an issue in [[Turbo Duel]]s since [[Speed World]] cannot be destroyed. In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 050|episode 050]], [[Luna]] and [[Leo]] used "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]" to destroy the Field Spell, destroying [[Devack]]'s "Earthbound Immortal". [[Akiza Izinski]] tried to do this in her duel with [[Misty Tredwell]], but "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" couldn't destroy the Field Spell due to "[[Field Barrier]]".
 
 
===Sacrifices===
 
In the anime, whenever an "Earthbound Immortal" is [[Summon]]ed, the bodies and souls of anyone trapped inside of a geoglyph are sacrificed. The sacrificed individuals turn into energy of the same purple color as a [[dark mark]], which is then absorbed into a floating stone of characteristic shape.
 
 
A beam of purple light then descends from the geoglyph in the sky, destroys the stone (that resembles a heart) and strikes the ground, causing the "Earthbound Immortal" to rise from the "Netherworld". This has occurred in both [[Satellite]] and [[New Domino City]].
 
 
An "Earthbound Immortal" will continue to harvest the souls of anyone not protected by a [[Signer]] as long as it stays on the [[field]]; this occurred in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 046|episode 046]], when [[Martha]] was sacrificed to "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru|Uru]]" when she fell into the geoglyph, even though "Uru" had already been Summoned.
 
 
However, there are several cases in which a person will not be absorbed into an "Earthbound Immortal":
 
* That person is Dueling (stated by Devack when he dueled Leo).
 
* That person is a [[Signer]] or proximate to a Signer (which Misty explained in episode 39).
 
* The "Earthbound Immortal" does not use nearby human sacrifices, as in the following cases:
 
** "[[Earthbound Immortal Cusillu|Cusillu]]" used the souls of the [[Duel Monsters]] spirits.
 
** "[[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]]" used the souls of the people from [[Greiger]]'s village.
 
 
After Greiger's defeat, the people sacrificed for "Chacu Challhua" were returned to life; when [[Devack]] lost, the souls of the Duel Monster spirits were returned to the [[Duel Monsters Spirit World|Spirit World]]. The spirits of the villagers were shown to be suffering inside of the "Chacu Challhua" during the [[Duel]] between Greiger and [[Crow]].
 
 
The Earthbound Immortals are fueled by the anger and lust for vengeance of their owner. The Earthbound Immortal disappears when its owner no longer carries on this hatred.
 
 
They can interfere by taking possession of the Dark Signers body. This occurred during Greiger's duel with Crow, in which "Chacu Challhua" took over Greiger's body when he wanted to stop the duel after he learned that the Dark Signers are actually the ones that were behind his village's destruction. This also happens in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 059|the Duel between Jack and Carly]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 061|the Duel between Akiza and Misty]].
 
 
However, if the Dark Signer is strong enough, they can maintain contact with other people (Greiger breaks the control for a few seconds, [[Carly]] connected through "[[Majestic Dragon]]" and [[Misty]] used card [[attack]]s as means of communication).
 
 
Each Dark Signer except Misty had at least one "Earthbound Immortal" support card.
 
 
===Members===
 
Each [[Dark Signer]] possesses 1 of the "Earthbound Immortals", with it being their [[signature card]]. In the episode where the ancient battle was seen, the 5 "original" "Earthbound Immortals" were seen battling against the [[Crimson Dragon]], its servants and a condor geoglyph was seen foreshadowing the appearance of [[Rex Goodwin]]'s [[Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca|Wiraqocha Rasca]].
 
 
Two additional "Earthbound Immortals" were introduced throughout the course of the story; after [[Greiger]] was transformed into a Dark Signer, a sixth "Earthbound Immortal", [[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]], was given to him.
 
 
The Crimson Devil [[Red Nova]] is the strongest Earthbound Immortal, being defeated prior to the ancient battle by the [[Crimson Dragon]] itself in a one-on-one contest.<ref name=ep112">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|112|ref}}</ref> The Dark Signers did not attempt to harness its power out of fear. Red Nova's [[Familiar of Red Nova|servant]] planned on using Jack Atlas as a sacrifice to resurrect his sleeping master. [[Jack Atlas]] obtains the power of Red Nova and combines it with [[Red Dragon Archfiend]], creating [[Red Nova Dragon]].

All of them have been released in OCG and TCG, except [[Red Nova]], who exists not in his original form, but as [[Red Nova Dragon]].
 
 
Additionally, each Earthbound Immortal has a unique effect, usually ideal to counter or match the strategy of the [[Signer]] that card's [[own]]er faced.
 
  
 
==Playing style==
 
==Playing style==
"Earthbound Immortal" based [[Deck]]s focus on [[Summon]]ing 1 of the many different "Earthbound Immortal" [[monster]]s, and quickly finishing a [[Duel]].
 
  
The main weakness of this Deck is keeping a [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] in play. This can be overcome with cards like "[[Field Barrier]]", "[[Hardened Armed Dragon]]" and "[[Magic Reflector]]" (or "[[Magical Citadel of Endymion]]" or "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" even on their own).  
+
The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters are very powerful and have effects that range from inflincting Damage to your opponent and locking their Battle Phase ("[[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]]"), to taking control of an opposing monter, as in the case of "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru|Uru]]". Also, all of them can attack their opponent directly and cannot be targeted for attacks.
  
Since the "Earthbound Immortals" are all [[DARK]] monsters, they can easily be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with cards like "[[Double Coston]]", "[[Fires of Doomsday]]" and "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]".
+
Such a powerful set of effects comes with the some drawbacks: there cannot be more than 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster on the field at the same time and they are destroyed once there is no Field Spell Card active.
 
 
Their high [[ATK]] and the ability to [[attack directly]], while not being able to be [[select]]ed as an [[attack target]], makes them powerful attackers, but they are still vulnerable to "[[Magic Cylinder]]" and "[[Draining Shield]]". An attack lock-down can be made using their effects.
 
 
 
"[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]" prevents all Level 10 or higher monsters from being targeted or destroyed, making it a good card to run in Earthbound Immortal decks. "Hardened Armed Dragon" can be used in combination to prevent the Earthbound Immortal from being destroyed if the field is.
 
 
 
An "Earthbound Immortal" can be used in most Decks that rely on a Field Spell Card.

<!-- This is not an exact Decklist. Do not add multiples or staples.-->
 
  
{{Decklist|Typical cards

Their strategy basically relies on attacking directly and dealing a huge damage every turn; once your opponent cannot attack them, and if they are protected by cards like "[[Safe Zone]]", "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]", etc, there are few ways of stopping them.

; OTK
 
# [[Activate]] [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]].
 
# Pay 2000 Life Points (or [[tribute]] 2 [[monster]]s) to [[summon]] [[Earthbound Immortal Uru]].
 
# Activate [[Mage Power]] [[target]]ing [[Earthbound Immortal Uru]].
 
# [[Flip]] [[Whirlwind Weasel]] and activate [[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]] targeting [[Earthbound Immortal Uru]].
 
# [[Attack directly]] twice. ((3000+1000*)+(3000+1000*))=8000*
 
 
This * means that the value can be bigger.
 
 
You must have [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]] on the [[field]] even if you tribute 2 monsters to summon [[Uru]]; or at least 1 more [[Spell]] or [[Trap]] [[face-down]] to use this [[OTK]].
 
 
[[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]] takes off 500 [[ATK]] points. If you have [[Mage Power]] and [[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]] on [[Uru]] and no other [[Spell]]s or [[Trap]]s, [[Uru]] will have 3000 + 1000 - 500 attack, or 3500, which is not enough for an [[OTK]] even if you attack twice.
 
 
Cards that [[Special Summon]] powerful [[monsters]] on your opponent's side of the [[field]] are useful when used with "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru]]".
 
 
You can tribute weak monsters on your side of the field to [[control]] powerful monsters, such as "[[Lava Golem]]" or "[[Volcanic Queen]]", both of which inflict detrimental [[effect]]s to your opponent during their [[turn]].
 
 
[[Uru]] also works reasonably well with [[Swarm]] [[Deck]]s; swarming weak monsters can be sacrificed to [[summon]] [[Uru]] and then again to control your opponent's monsters.

"Earthbound Immortals" are very strong, but cards like "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" could destroy an active Field Spell necessary to keep one around and take the Earthbound Immortal with it. You can use cards like "[[Field Barrier]]" to protect your Field Spell from being destroyed.  Be careful though, cards like "[[Murmur of the Forest]]," "[[Giant Trunade]]," and "[[Codarus]]" can simply remove the Field Spell without destroying it, effectively not only bypassing "Field Barrier," but also disallowing you to play another Field Spell until "Field Barrier" itself is removed somehow. "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" also works well in this Deck, as one of it's effects helps prevent destruction, as well as boosts your monsters by 500 ATK. If you don't want to have this worry at all, you can use either "[[Hardened Armed Dragon]]" as a Tribute so that your "Earthbound Immortal" cannot be destroyed by card effects (including its own) or Summon an "[[Earthbound Linewalker]]" for the same protection. "[[March of the Monarchs]]" will also stop them being destroyed by their own effect. In an emergency situation, "[[Skill Drain]]" might also help to protect them. Also the Majestic Dragons are also a major threat to the Earthbound Immortals because they can negate the Immortals effects and (depending on the Dragon) can either use them or gain their attack points, giving the two dragons a superb advantage.

Lists

"Earthbound Immortal", known as "Earthbound God" (ばくしん Jibakushin) in Japan, is an archetype of Level 10 DARK monsters. They were used by the Dark Signers in the anime.

"Earthbound Immortal" are based on the Nazca Lines. Each of them is pictured rising from its corresponding Line and their form matches the being they represent and their Type.

Monster Nazca Line Type
Uru Spider Insect
Aslla piscu Hummingbird Winged Beast
Cusillu Monkey Beast
Ccarayhua Lizard Reptile
Ccapac Apu Giant Fiend
Chacu Challhua Orca Fish
Wiraqocha Rasca Condor Winged Beast


Playing style

The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters are very powerful and have effects that range from inflincting Damage to your opponent and locking their Battle Phase ("Chacu Challhua"), to taking control of an opposing monter, as in the case of "Uru". Also, all of them can attack their opponent directly and cannot be targeted for attacks.

Such a powerful set of effects comes with the some drawbacks: there cannot be more than 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster on the field at the same time and they are destroyed once there is no Field Spell Card active.

Their strategy basically relies on attacking directly and dealing a huge damage every turn; once your opponent cannot attack them, and if they are protected by cards like "Safe Zone", "Mound of the Bound Creator", etc, there are few ways of stopping them.


Weaknesses

"Earthbound Immortals" are very strong, but since they depend on Field Spell Cards to exist on the field, cards like "Ancient Fairy Dragon", "Black Rose Dragon" and even "Mystical Space Typhoon" would destroy them. One can use cards like "Field Barrier" or "Malefic Stardust Dragon" to protect a Field Spell Card from being destroyed; "The Seal of Orichalcos" also works well in this Deck, as one of its effects helps prevent destruction, as well as boosts your monsters by 500 ATK. It is also important to be aware of cards that can simply remove the Field Spell without destroying it, such as "Shaddoll Dragon", "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer", etc, effectively not only bypassing "Field Barrier", but also disallowing you to play another Field Spell until "Field Barrier" itself is removed somehow. If you don't want to have this worry at all, you can use either "Hardened Armed Dragon" as a Tribute so that your "Earthbound Immortal" cannot be destroyed by card effects (including its own) or Summon an "Earthbound Linewalker" for the same protection. "March of the Monarchs" will also stop them being destroyed by their own effect. In an emergency situation, "Skill Drain" might also help to protect them.
