Anthemusa is an ability exclusive to the Sirenoid species.
Effect[]
The exact effect of this ability was never actually revealed, with Klaus simply claiming that "once opponents hear its beautiful but deadly song, it's over". However, as the ability was successfully used against multiple opponents with a power-level equal or inferior to Sirenoid's in The Story of Vestroia, it's speculated to attract all adjacent weaker opponents to Sirenoid's card, and possibly prevent the opponent from activating a counter-ability.
In the original Japanese dub of Doom Dimension or Bust, Klaus states during his battle against Masquerade that Sirenoid's exclusive ability was not going to work on Laserman once its power-level was higher than Sirenoid's, confirming that the opponent has to have a lower power-level in order to be affected by Anthemusa.
Appearances[]
The ability was first used in The Story of Vestroia during a short battle-royale against Chan Lee, Julio Santana, Komba O'Charlie and Billy Gilbert, paralyzing and slowly dragging all of their Bakugan towards Sirenoid.
It was then used once again, this time officially, in BFF Best Friends Forever. Klaus activated the ability in order to force Marucho Marukura's Preyas into the card Sirenoid was standing on. As Preyas had a lower power-level than Sirenoid, and Marucho was out of ability cards, this ensured Preyas' defeat and subsequent trip to the Doom Dimension.
It was later used to battle Druman and Hairadee in Ground Control to Major Dan.
Trivia[]
- The ability is named after the small group of islands where Roman poets thought the Sirens might lurk.
