It's neat to see a soft reprint of Rescue Stretcher, just with a different alt effect. The ability to instantly retrieve a pokemon is extremely handy.
Kingdra ex, Horsea Illustration Rare, Dangerous Laser ACE SPEC, and More Revealed from “Night Wanderer!”

That Horsea is a god damn treasure. Can't wait to get it!
Janine with dark path will be insane. People are so gonna abuse that card.. 
The marketing still buffles me. Greninja is clearly more of a fude-ink inspired art style (a la okami) than woodblock. Kinggambit has way too many details for woodblock to.
If the SARs are Pecharunt and the loyal 3 with a black background and the gaudy chains running across each card, this set will fall flat on its face.
I think they maybe they should have gone with "inspired" rather than "art-style," but I don't know if they put too much thought into the specific term being used. I could see "Ukiyo-E" being used as a term, by them, as a way of saying "Ancient Japanese" inspired/style, and that they didn't assume discussion about specific ancient Japanese art styles would occur amongst their consumers
Considering Hypnotoxic was better than nearly every Ace Spec of that era, it's deserved.
This could be great for klawf decks tho ever since spicy curry rotated
This is worth absolutely nothing but felt like mentioning it.
DANGEROUS laser? Like Hyonotoxic lazer is a bit silly but at least cool, (arguably a better card and isn't even a spec.) But dangerous? What about... Brain Melting, bit dark but it gets the theme of Confusion and Burn across.
If people have any other ideas respond but dangerous lazer is soooo. Ehh?

There’s also no space for Seadra AR so if for some reason they just decided to reveal it separately, which I doubt, you can’t have the entire line now anyways
That IR Horsea is really cute, but too bad that has 60 HP. And Kingdra's first attacks looks amazing, will allow you to put different Stage 1 and 2 in play but is losing a turn. Still I believe it has advantage with Irida among others Stages 2 to setup quickly.
I also was wondering if a Cassiopeia Boss's Orders could be possible, but now that has their own card, I doubt it.

"Brain Melting Laser" sounds a little violent for a children's game, doesn't it? The name of the card doesn't need to explain the whole function of the card, that's what the effect text is for.
As Maltrab mentioned, it's important to put it into perspective. Dangerous Laser is an ACE SPEC card because they don't want the next three blocks to feature an item card that effectively reads "inflict 20 damage, plus maybe some extra effects that could amount to up to 70 damage" at anywhere from one to four copies in most decks in the game. The card doesn't need to have its own built-in recursion engine to "justify itself" because the purpose of a new ACE SPEC card is not to become the only ACE SPEC card anyone wants to be using in any deck, but to create a series of niche options that appeal to certain strategies or playstyles, some of which might not even exist until people get their hands on it.
Dragapult is going to keep on getting smashed by big basics next set anyway.
Ogerbolt is destroying it atm and loyal three dark deck can do it aswell. Seems the fad was exaggerated and short lived.
That is an upgrade, but the crucial distinction is that it doesn't draw you any cards. The reason why Welder and Sada are so broken, is that they both accelerate and provide card advantage at the same time. Janine only does one of those. It's good - it's probably a bit too good - but it's nowhere near that level.
