[YGO] Can someone translate this (Chinese) card?

    I was just looking through my Yu-Gi-Oh! card collection last night and I found something odd.

    Spoiler:


    It's obviously fake, since the back doesn't have the logos, the attribute symbol doesn't have "ruby text", all the points of the level stars are visable, the illustration is low-quality, and it lacks copyright information (though, unlike many of my fakes, this one actually has the hologram square in the bottom right corner as well as same foil pattern as the hologram on official cards). I had seen it before, but there was something I had overlooked. This is what interested me the most: the attribute is the symbol for DIVINE and the type starts with the same symbol, so I'm assuming that translates into Divine-Beast (that is, if it's using an official type).

    Unlike the real God Cards, this card is level 9 and has relatively low ATK and DEF (2900/2500). Also, the background is the same color as Normal Monsters.

    I haven't done a thorough translation of the card (since I don't know hardly any Chinese), but I can tell that the first character in its name is "Light" and the flavour text mentions "Divine" once.

    I was wondering if this card was based on an official one, so I tried to look it up, but it wasn't on the list of female monsters. I just posted an almost-identical message on a YGO forum hoping someone could help me figure out what it was. However, in the middle of typing that very message, it struck me that she looked sort of like a Digimon: Angewomon. It wasn't Angewomon, though; it was too detailed, so I looked at her Digivolution.

    I don't know why, but whoever made this counterfeit card decided to use a pic of Ophanimon. It makes me wonder if any of my other fakes use images from other sources...

    Anyway, do any of you know Chinese enough to translate this card? I'm really curious to know what it says.
     
    Dude, that's Ophanimon rofl.
    edit Truth be told, I posted this in hopes of claiming a placeholder so I could post something of use later. However, my sleuthing has gotten me no results whatsoever since I can't read Chinese at all. There's something about light in the first two characters, though rofl, and then something about dirt. Though, knowing Chinese, they probably idiomize to something more useful.

    I know. I thought that was pretty hillarious myself. XD

    I tried doing some more translating, this time with better results. The name of the card is Light Warrior - Aofa (I assume the latter part comes from OPHAnimon), the type is God Warrior Tribe, and the flavour text has something about a god of justice, sonic sword, strong sense, and relentless attack. However, I won't know what it says for sure until I find someone who can actually read Chinese.

    Since it is a Divine monster, I wonder if it has any "hidden effects". :P

    Welp, this is what it says.

    (I can read Chinese etc. - I actually speak it fluently as well but that's a given if I know how to read it : I)

    Warrior of Light - Aofa

    Level 9 - DIVINE - Divine-Warrior Type - 2900 ATK/2500 DEF
    A brave and righteous divine warrior, the speed of [her] sword movement is as fast as the speed of sound; because of the strong sense of justice in her heart, she shows no mercy regarding all attacks against evil.

    (technically replace "divine" with "god" as you see fit, but that's how TCG is translated so...)

    Yeah it reads very closely to that; there are some nuances that can't be translated properly, but I feel that this should convey what you wanted to know.

    Unfortunately there are no hidden effects even though Chinese Normal Monsters really do like those : p.

    Hey, my translation was pretty close! Thank you so much! :D

    Aww... lol
