Q. What is a G Zone, G Deck?
A. The G zone is the area where you place your G deck at the start of the game. The G deck is a deck consisting of 0 to 16 G units, which are cards that cannot be put in the main deck or ride deck.

Q10977 ·
Q. What is [Stride]?
A. "[Stride]" is an action that allows you to become a G unit during the "Stride Step" in the "Ride Phase" by paying a cost. Specifically, if both players' vanguards are grade 3 or greater, or if your vanguard's grade is 3 or greater at the beginning of your turn, you can choose one or more cards from your hand with a total grade of 3 or greater, discard them, and place a face-down "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah (DZ-BT06/009EN)" from your G zone onto the vanguard circle ([Stride]). Also, the G unit is placed face-up in the G zone at the end of that turn's "End Phase."
Q10975 ·
Q. If a G unit [Stride]s, what happens to the originally placed vanguard?
A. The originally placed vanguard becomes a heart card and is placed on the vanguard circle. However, a heart card is not a unit. Abilities that are effective for units cannot be played. Also, it is not in the soul. The vanguard that became a heart card becomes the vanguard again after the G unit is placed in the G zone.
Q10974 ·
Q. Can you [Stride] a face-up G unit from your G zone?
A. No, you cannot. You can place ([Stride]) a face-down G unit from the G zone onto the vanguard circle.
Q10973 ·
Q. When both players' vanguards are grade 2, if I ride to grade 3 in my ride phase, can I [Stride] in the "Stride Step" of that same turn?
A. No, you cannot. In your described situation, both players' vanguards are not grade 3 or greater, and your own vanguard's grade is not grade 3 or greater at the beginning of your turn, so you cannot [Stride].
Q10972 ·
Q. When your vanguard is grade 2, and your opponent's vanguard is grade 3, if you ride to grade 3 in your ride phase, can you [Stride] in the "Stride Step" of that same turn?

Q. When a unit in the vanguard circle with the "Alter Ego Messiah" crest rides to "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah (DZ-BT06/009EN)," what happens to the power of that "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah (DZ-BT06/009EN)"?
A. The card name has two names: "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah" and "Alter Ego Messiah." The card name of the heart card is added to the G unit.
Q10970 ·
Q. This is a situation where a fighter who has the "Alter Ego Messiah" crest, [Stride] from "Alter Ego Messiah (D-SS04/001EN)" to "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah (DZ-BT06/009EN)." What is the power of that "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah (DZ-BT06/009EN)"?
A. If no other modifications are applied, the power is 28000. The power of the heart card is added to the G unit. In your described situation, due to the crest's CONT ability "The original Power of your grade 3 including 'Messiah' becomes 13000," the power of the heart card "Alter Ego Messiah (D-SS04/001EN)" becomes 13000 and is added to the 15000 power of "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah (DZ-BT06/009EN)."

Q. How should you lock a token unit?
A. You lock it in the same way as a normal unit. After that, even if you are in the middle of resolving an ability, you immediately remove that token from the game.
Q10963 ·
Q. If the effect "choose up to the same number of your opponent's rear-guards as the number of face up cards in your G zone, and lock them" of this card's AUTO ability cannot be executed because there are no opponent's rear-guards, can this AUTO ability still be resolved by paying the cost?
A. Yes, you can. Also, the effects of an ability are executed as much as possible. Therefore, even if the effect "choose up to the same number of your opponent's rear-guards as the number of face up cards in your G zone, and lock them" cannot be executed, you can still execute the effect "unlock all of your locked cards" or the effect "Choose the same number of your rear-guards as the number of face up "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah" in your G zone, and they get [Power] +5000 until end of turn" regardless. This is also the case even if the effect "unlock all of your locked cards" cannot be executed. You can still execute the effect "choose up to the same number of your opponent's rear-guards as the number of face up cards in your G zone, and lock them" or the effect "Choose the same number of your rear-guards as the number of face up "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah" in your G zone, and they get [Power] +5000 until end of turn."
Q10962 ·
Q. When resolving this card's AUTO ability, I did not pay the cost. While the effect "unlock all of your locked cards, choose up to the same number of your opponent's rear-guards as the number of face up cards in your G zone, and lock them" is not executed, is the effect "Choose the same number of your rear-guards as the number of face up "Genesis Dragon, Trans-else Messiah" in your G zone, and they get [Power] +5000 until end of turn" executed?
A. No, that effect is not executed either. AUTO abilities that include a cost do not proceed with subsequent processes if the specified cost is not paid.
