There is no effect from this Special during the Battle in which it is played. Upon playing this Special, the player must declare which KO'd Character's Specials the Character playing the Special will be able to use in the next Battle. During the discard phase of the next Battle, Special Cards for the selected KO'd Character do not have to be discarded as unusable cards. The Character that played this Special may use the Specials of the selected KO'd Character for this Battle only. Those Specials may be placed on the Character, or played by the Character. If a KO'd Character's Special is placed to the Character that played this Special, it remains there. If the placed Special is not played during the battle, it remains there for the remainder of the game or until the Character is KO'd. It is not discarded. If the Special allows for a permanent modification of the Character that played this Special, then the effect of that modification remains only for the Battle, not for the game. For example, if this Special allowed the Character to use a Special coded CG, then the effects of the CG Special would only last for the current Battle, not for the remainder of the game. (In this case, the Character would be unable to be knocked out by a Spectrum KO for the remainder of the Battle, not the game. If the character were Spectrum KO'd during the Battle, he would continue to fight until the Battle was over. At the end of the Battle, the effects of the CG Special would wear off, and the Character would then be Spectrum KO'd.)
Exceptions/Errata
The wording for all versions of this Special should be "X may play any 1 K.O.'d teammate's Special in next battle."
Meta Rules
Meta #94 Specials which require a selection to be made for the next battle require that the selection be made immediately - at the time the Special is played. One may not hold off on a decision until the next battle.
Meta #108 When a Special indicates a K.O.'d Character, it refers to any Character on the player's team which is K.O.'d at that moment. It does not include any Characters which are currently on the Front Line or in Reserve (even if that Character will definitely be K.O.'d at the end of the battle).
Meta #153 Specials which can make other cards (Specials, Power cards, etc.) usable allow you to keep those unusable cards in hand during the discard phase. The Special to make them usable must be available (e.g., Placed, in Hand, available through a specific draw - not through a random draw).
Meta #155 Cards which are placed to one Character cannot be used by another unless a Special explicitly says so. Being able to "use" any teammate's Special does not allow the Character to use a Special Placed to that teammate.
