Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Hida Yakamo 3F/3C 0HR 8G 2PH Crab Clan Hero. Samurai. Unique. No Items. Crab Hero is considered a distinct card from the Crab Oni for Uniqueness. Battle: Bow Yakamo to destroy any one Item card in the opposing army." [MRP, Obsidian Edition] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 100
- Erratum: Reads, "Hida Yakamo 4F/4C -HR 7G 0PH Crab Clan Oni. Shadowlands. Nonhuman. No Followers. May not Focus. Oni gains a 1F/1C bonus for each Crab Personlity you control. Crab Oni cannot be committed to an Attacking or Defending Army that has other units. No other unit may be committed to the Oni's Army." [MRP, Obsidian Edition] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 100
- May join other units by moving into battle. Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 100
- Cannot join other units by effects that "assign" or "commit" units during the Maneuvers Segment, before battle actions start. [Extension from Dark Oracle of Water, DW, 9/10/96] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 100
- Cannot assign with the Experienced Crab Clan Oni, because both cards' restrictions must be obeyed. [DW, 12/9/96] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 100
- Is considered an allied unit after using his ability to enter a battle, even if he wasn't invited. [DW, email, 12/9/97] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 30
- May enter a battle on the side of a The Shadowlands Horde player. [ibid.] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 30
- Counts himself as both a Crab and a Naga unit in his army, so his Battle action will always give him at least +2F. Is Nonhuman. [rulebook & card text] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 30
- Clarified: counts as a separate card from the Crab Clan Oni. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 15
- May enter a battle on the side of a Junzo's Army player. [ibid.] Accumulated Rulings, April 22, 1998, p. 17
- Q: What's up with Hida Yakamo? A: The Crab Clan Oni swiped his name. "Hida Yakamo" is the Crab Clan Hero, the guy with the claw where his left hand used to be. The Crab Clan Oni has been misidentified as Yakamo; that's not his real name. He's an Oni – he may not have one. At any rate, for game purposes these are distinct cards.
