CK

There is no effect from this Special during the Battle in which it is played. However when the Special is played, the player must choose a hero that is KO'd at that time that will be returned to play for the next Battle. The KO'd character returns before the Draw Phase. During that Battle's discard phase, any cards playable by that character do not have to be discarded. If the player already has three front-line Characters, then he will play this Battle with four front line Characters. The "resurrected" Character can act just as if he had no hits on his "permanent record", but may still be KO'd during the Battle by a Spectrum KO or Cumulative KO. Any Specials which were in play on the Character that would affect the Character for the game (such as an EK Special), would no longer be in effect. At the end of the Battle, regardless of what damage the resurrected Character has or has not taken, the Character is automatically KO'd, and placed in the defeated Character pile. If the case arises that the Character playing the Special is the last Character on your team and this Special is played and later in that same battle, the Character is KO'd, then the current Battle would end and the winner of the Battle would be resolved. The selected resurrected Character would come into play next Battle. If this resurrected Character can manage to knock out all the opponent's existing Characters or win the battle through Venture, then you would win. A CK Special cannot be used to resurrect the Character who used the Special.
