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
- Clarified: may not Focus at all. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 15
- Q: Is it true that I can't copy the Crab Oni's ability to gain +1/+1 per Crab Personality I control? A: That isn't an "ability", it's a "trait". The NSS can't copy it. The Imperial Herald, Vol. 2, No. 1 (Issue 5), p. 15
- 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. The Imperial Herald, Vol. 1, Issue 1, p. 11
