The new Photon cards are hella interesting to me so I'm gonna be talking about them for a little bit!

Here's the photon cards if you haven't seen them ^

So, I rambled. Here's the word count: 515 words.

The first few aspects of these cards that people notice is that they're similar to the Imprisoned Marionette cards from Project Sekai. I honestly can't blame this comparison at all because of Sato Hinata (also look at the cards from that prosekai event and compare) but I think there's a reason for this. The name for this gacha is 'REVERSE Gacha', so it's supposed to be the opposite to Photon Maiden's image. Then what is Photon's 'image' right now?

Photon Maiden's image at this point in time is a unit with a cyber or modern theme that wants to explore different colors for themselves to grow. Now, what is that in reverse? Photon Maiden's reverse image is a unit with an analog or vintage theme that wants to stay the same because of their managers/producers or even themselves. This is supported by the fact that Photon, in the cards, are doing poses as they're tied up in a bunch of puppet strings. They are forced to make these poses, it isn't done out of love or out of passion; they're like dolls.

One thing I haven't seen people notice is that the poses they make in the cards are similar to their initial 3*s. Here are the cards side by side:

If you compare each of them, Saki and Ibuki's poses in their cards are similar to their initial 3*s while Towa and Noa's poses are like a flipped (reversed) version of their poses.

Putting these cards side by side show that the newer cards are supposed to be the opposite to what Photon's image is. Look at the newer cards, the light (passion) in their eyes is gone. They aren't smiling, they look as though they're going through the motions. The colors in the card are super desaturated, even for D4DJ. Usually there's at least some sort of saturation, giving the lively feel of the usual event cards. But there isn't. There's no 'life' at all. Then look at their initial cards. Yes, it's old -- ignore the glowup in the art style -- but look at them. They're smiling, they're happy and there's so much light around them. That's the reason why they're called 'Photon' Maiden in the first place. Ibuki isn't smiling in her card but she has this determined look in her eyes that isn't present in the newer card.

These cards are what Photon would be if they continued following what Shano laid out for them. They never explored, they stayed stagnant, like a photo in a frame. They're forever stuck in that moment, never to change. Hell, even the fact that the cards' main color isn't even Photon's unit color supports this. It's purple. That's Shano's character color and also her unit's, Lynx Eyes, color. Yes, the dominant color in the initial cards the background is green and green isn't their unit color. However, the inverted color for green is purple; another way to say that is that purple is the reverse to green.

That's all I wanted to say about the new Photon Maiden cards, bye. I'm excited for the other units.
