Can Kato the Arm give himself his own Might and keywords?
“Friendly unit” does properly include Kato himself, but that wasn’t the intent behind this card—Kato can’t throw himself, after all. It was a simple goof that Kato made it out the door without the word “another,” and the gameplay is so divergent from the design intent that we’re changing it to fix this error.
