Move an opposing Cost 6 Spirit to your Field in the same state it is in. You can use the Spirit you moved during this turn as your Spirit.

Rulings

1) The Spirit that this Spirit's effect borrows can be used to attack the opponent, and is affected by effects that target your Spirits. However, you can't put more cores onto it, nor can you remove cores from it.

2) When the borrowed Spirit is destroyed, it's sent to the original owner's Trash, and cores on it go to the original owner's Reserve.

3) When the borrowed Spirit is returned to the hand/deck, it's sent to the original owner's hand/deck, and cores on it go to the original owner's Reserve.

4) If the borrowed Spirit is removed from the Field, it doesn't return to the opposing Field at the end of the turn, and stays at where it's sent to.

5) As cores on the borrowed Spirit can't be removed, it can't be a Tribute target.

6) The borrowed Spirit can't brave with your Braves.

7) The Brave on the borrowed Spirit can't be separated, nor can you exchange it with other Braves.

8) You can't Advent onto the borrowed Spirit, nor can you summon/deploy/use the pre-advent cards under that Spirit.

9) If the borrowed Spirit is a Rebirth Spirit, you can't flip it; similarly if the borrowed Spirit is a Reborn Spirit, you can't flip it back through any effects.

10) When you use "Glacial Breath" and you have to return your own Spirits to the deckbottom, you can choose the borrowed Spirit. In this case, the borrowed Spirit returns to the owner's deckbottom.

Extra Information

This card is banned.
Cerberus is a three-headed hellhound from Greek and Roman mythology.
The only card in the history of Battle Spirits that directly "gain control" of opposing Spirits. While Grandwalker Aphrodite can force opposing Spirit to attack, the effects of that Spirit can't be activated, and you can't do other things with that Spirit, so it is far from this Spirit's effect. Introduced at the early, experimental stage of the game, it once provided interesting gaming experience to players. But as time proceeds, it started to produce more and more complicated ruling issues as various new effects and gimmicks are introduced. Rulings related to this card have to be updated whenever new interactions are discovered and new gimmick are introduced. Despite being a meme card in general, it could bring confusion to players and complicate the development of the game. It was eventually banned in 2020 to prevent further complication of rulings in the future.
