Legendary Geisha

The Legendary Geisha cards are a series of exclusively female Warrior-Type monsters without a specific shared Attribute. They are used by Keiko Shirayuri in Saiba Aisu's upcoming writing project, Yu-Gi-Oh! End of Days. They were personally designed for use in this writing project by Saiba Aisu.

Design
They are identified by having the words "Legendary Geisha" (Japanese: 伝説の芸者 Densetsu no Geisha) in their names. In the Japanese versions, the names of the Legendary Geisha are hyphenated. Although they are exclusively Warrior-Type monsters, their conceptual design resembles that of the "Fortune Ladies", as both are archetypes composed of monsters with fairly low ATK that center around Special Summoning. In addition, the monsters draw naming inspiration from the "Spiritual Art" Trap Cards. In regards to appearance, each of the four Legendary Geisha is an obvious reference to traditional Japanese culture and is clad in an elegant two-color kimono with an exquisite design that corresponds to her elemental affinity.

Playing Style
All four of the Legendary Geisha are noted for having identical stats, with only 500 ATK and DEF apiece. However, when attacking the opponent directly, their ATK increases by 1000 until the end of the Damage Step. Moreover, they must first be Special Summoned in some manner before they activate their devastating effects, which incorporate a wide variety of tactics, ranging from destroying the opponent's cards, reviving additional "Legendary Geisha" monsters from the Graveyard, or inflicting direct damage. Using cards like Sakura Curtain, the player can quickly facilitate the Special Summoning process and reduce the Battle Damage they receive from an opponent's attacking monster, while the Enchanted Instrument Equip Spell series provides further support.
