"Todoroki the Earthbolt Star" Rating Score by 戦士族大好き

In a word, it's "unsatisfactory".
Rather than saying that this card is weak, I was once again reminded of the excellence of 《Kaiki the Unity Star》.
It's a stat/effect that can be paired with 《Kaiki the Unity Star》.
Start with the good points.
・Unlike 《Kaiki the Unity Star》, it can now be used as a hand SS.
As a result, if you have 3 monsters in your hand, including this card, you can perform a fusion summon without any special effort.
This SS does not make a chain block Good.
・It is now possible to fuse twice with only monsters, including Kaiki.
Because of the name Turn 1, it was not possible to go from 《Idaten the Conqueror Star》to 《Shura the Combat Star》with only Kaiki, but with the introduction of this card, it is now possible without 《Polymerization》.
・ The point that it is an EARTH Lv6 monster warrior with a built-in fusion
I'm honestly happy that I'm in a double-sided waiting state where Kaiki is strengthened with the LIGHT support card and Todoroki is strengthened with the EARTH support card. At the moment, Warrior is better at Lv5, but there is a possibility that being Lv6 itself will become a status.
Disappointing point.
・Inconsistent timing of self-SS and fusion effect
This is the worst. I declare that this card will be fused during battle, but I can't get a simple scarecrow in the main phase.
Even though it is a visible mast counter, all kinds of interference work. The cost of the SS effect cannot be said to be light, so it really hurts to be stopped.
Since Kaiki is a trigger, the effect can be activated when you SS, and your opponent will be forced to respond at that point. Sacrifice escape is also possible even if the opponent interferes with something.
I can't help but wish this SS effect was a triggered immediate effect that could be triggered during the battle phases of you and your opponent.
・Incomplete status
The charm of this card is that it can be fusion summoned after attacking, but if you SS, the ATK will be 1600 and it will be a dangerous status even if it is exposed. Considering the cost, I think +500 would have been better instead of -500.
And the odd status of ATK2100. It's really a shame that the fusion effect itself isn't compatible with Recruiters, even though it's an immediate trigger effect. Like Kaiki, if it had a low ATK, there would have been a surprise attack of fusion via Recruiter. (Kaiki is Recruiter compatible, but the fusion effect cannot be damaged, so he misses the timing.)
・ Basic single-use effect
I think it would have been better if there was at least some self-salvage.
Far from being mutually compatible with Kaiki the Unity Star, which appeared 4 years ago, it was somewhat inconvenient to use.
I would like to say that it would have been nice to have a little more.
If you use 《Supermagic Sword of Raptinus》to Tribute Summon in the battle phase, you can avoid triggers that can only be used in the main phase, and you can participate in battle with ATK 2100, so I think it's a good matchup.
