"Total Defense Shogun" Rating Score by 戦士族大好き

Defense Position The originator of attacking monsters.
At that time, DEF2500 had a certain value as a line that could withstand 《Summoned Skull》attacks. Another strength is that 《Mirror Force》does not work.
This card first appeared in the V-Jump appendix, and at that time, it was normal to buy a pack and get all normal cards, so one of the big attractions was that you could always get an ultra rare for 500 to 600 yen.
The text at the time was
[This card can attack while in Defense Position. (Damage calculation is normal)]
And although it says "as usual", even that "normal" was meaningless in the Yu-Gi-Oh rules of the time, and there was a dispute as to whether the attack value referred to ATK or DEF. And in my area, I was referring to DEF. So it was super strong. Perhaps I wrote which one to refer to in the V jump at the time.
Inevitably, old cards become stories of memories like this, but in today's Yu-Gi-Oh, it's quite difficult to let them play an active role.
Also, since it is one of the few monsters that can actively activate 《Broken Blocker》with a suicide attack, I would like to make a difference there.
It's not a strong card by any means, but it has a clear characterization, so I'll give it 3 points.
