SS4 Gogeta, the Ultimate Fusion is literally THE most powerful card in the game. He’s the first and, so far, the only card with 100,000 power. He has Deflect, which guarantees he’ll come into play, and since this is a Z-Awaken leader, this card can be played as soon as you’re at 4 life or less and you have 3 Z-Energy. Since it only lasts for one turn, you need to plan accordingly so that it doesn’t get Counterattack Negated, but once you do, his attack will be almost unbeatable.

All 10 of these cards are an excellent choice to add to your collection. They have fantastic art and are super attractive in their foil versions. And depending on how many colors and leaders you play, these cards deserve slots in your deck designs. The Zenkai series brings plenty of change to DBSCG and takes the game to the next level.
