In 2024, Bushiroad announced a new version of the trading card game Weiss Schwarz which was finally released around the end of April 2025 called Weiss Schwarz Rose. However, within the span of just 4 months, they have managed to cause the game to dwindle to the point that it can barely manage to reach even a moderately sized community in even the biggest city in Japan.

Today we explore what they've been doing the past few months and the state of the game now as WGP, the biggest competitive tournament of the year draws close.
