Jinzo

Jinzo is an archetype of DARK Machine-Type Monster Cards in HCCG. All of its members were made by Hippocampus and are included in Light Beginnings and Signal from the Depths.

The "Jinzos" are currently a very small archetype, but it has been hinted that more members will be released in future booster sets. Currently, it is comprised of two monsters that have very different abilities. Jinzo #5, released in Light Beginnings, is a Ritual monster with no effect, while Jinzo #3, released years later in Signal from the Depths, is an Effect monster that can negate the activations of Trap Cards. As such, it is impossible to make a pure "Jinzo" deck, although the monsters mentioned above are very useful in pure Machine decks, especially when played in combination with Upgraded Terrorbot, a Fusion monster that requires 1 "Jinzo" monster as Fusion Material.

Trivia

 * This archetype was inspired by the TCG monsters Jinzo and Jinzo #7, which are part of their own TCG archetype, "Jinzo". The "Jinzo" monsters in HCCG bear similar likeness in artwork and effect to these monsters.
