How this card works

Think of Modded Kusanagi as a 6-Eddie strike. Adrenaline lets it attack the turn it lands, so it can take a Gig right away with 8 power, and at the end of your turn it goes back to its owner's hand. Your rival never gets a turn where it sits on the field to be attacked.

Eight power steals one Gig; ten would steal two. Saul Bright: Stormrider closes that gap, since your other Units get +2 power while attacking. Be careful about attaching Gear such as Gorilla Arms: when the Unit returns to hand, the Gear no longer stays equipped to it, so you would pay for it again.

The return is not optional, and the FAQ confirms the effect does nothing from the trash. Budget for it: every time you replay it, the full 6 Eddies come out of your pocket again.
