The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It spans over 3,000 km from the Sea of Okhotsk in the northeast to the East China and Philippine seas in the southwest along the Pacific coast of the Eurasian continent, and consists of three island arcs from north to south: the Northeastern Japan Arc, the Southwestern Japan Arc, and the Ryukyu Island Arc.
- The Daitō Islands, the Izu–Bonin–Mariana Arc, and the Kuril Islands neighbor the archipelago.
- Japan is the largest island country in East Asia and the fourth-largest island country in the world with 377,975.24 km2.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Japanese archipelago article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
