Monarch

Monarch's

The Monarchs, known as Emperors in the OCG, are a series of the eight Monster Cards with "Monarch" in their card names, each of which possess an attribute reflective of the element they control.

These cards may be a reference to the seven kings of Ancient Rome, but with the addition of "Delg the Dark Monarch", this is somewhat doubted, though "Delg the Dark Monarch" may be a reference to the eighth king of Rome in the book of Revelations. (Rev 17,9-11 : "Here is a clue for one who has wisdom. The seven heads represent seven hills upon which the woman sits. They also represent seven kings: five have already fallen, one still lives, and the last has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only for a short while. The beast that existed once but exists no longer is an eighth king, but really belongs to the seven and is headed for destruction.")

Each has a unique ability that activates upon their Tribute Summoning, dealing with the removal of cards, although Kuraz the Light Monarch and Delg the Dark Monarch do not require to be tribute summoned or even normal summoned to trigger his ability. Another similarity that these cards share is that they all have 2400 ATK and 1000 DEF and are Level 6, with the exception of "Zaborg", who is Level 5.
