Gladiator is a race of creature in the Light Civilization.

Nomenclature[]

OCG[]

Each Gladiator class has a name in katakana, preceded by the word 宣凶師せんきょうし (Senkyoushi) such as in Telitol, the Explorer (宣凶師エリオット).

  • 宣凶師 is a pun on 宣教師, which means missionary, with the middle kanji swapped out to mean "doom" or "disaster" instead, indicating their roles as heralds of coming destruction.

Evolution creatures use the prefix 聖皇せいこう (Seikou) instead, and always contain a "first name" of エール (Ail) before the rest of their name. 聖皇 is an honorific way to refer to the 天皇てんのう (Tennou), or the Japanese emperor.

Multicolored cards featuring Gladiator as a race use the identifier 賢者けんじゃ (Kenja), meaning "sage", including multicolored evolution cards.

TCG[]

Each Gladiator creature has "the Explorer" after their name. This is possibly a result of Wizards of the Coast not wanting to include any sort of reference to Christianity in their card names.

Evolution cards use "Warlord" for the prefix, and combine the エール (Ail) with the rest of the name, such as in Warlord Ailzonius.

Multicolored cards featuring Gladiator as a race use the identifier "Explorer", such as in Electro Explorer Syrion. Multicolored evolution creatures use "Warlord", such as in Agira, the Warlord Crawler.

Gameplay[]

A commonly used Gladiator creature is Sol Habaki, Apocalyptic Sage used to return cards in your mana zone back into your hand later in the duel.

The race consists of many blockers, especially those that have high power given certain conditions.

Story[]

Gladiators serve as transports that procure resources for inhabitants of the Light world. To accomplish this, some emit laser beams to lift the objects up into the ship. Some have tentacles to move objects and others use energy fields to decompose material for easy gathering. Like Berserkers, they are made of alloy parts. The shape of the Gladiator is determined by its function. Sizes vary from that of small tank cars to large tanker ships.

Evolution Creatures resemble the Dogū Wikipedia style of Japanese pottery.
