Assemble

Assemble (；shuugetsu) is a keyword introduced in CB19, possessed exclusively by "Showa" family Spirits of the Kamen Rider franchise. The effect is worded as follows:
*Assemble: X - (When Summoned)You can reveal X cards from your decktop. Among them, summon any number of "Showa" family cards without paying the cost. Return any remaining cards to the deckbottom. Assemble can only be used once per turn.
Later, as a promo card for the Battle Spirits Kamen Rider Perfect Guide Book 2, a X-Rare Kamen Rider Ichigou is introduced with a new variant of Assemble. The effect is worded as follows:
* Assemble: X (Kamen) - (When Summoned/Attacks)(Once per Turn: Assemble) You can reveal two cards from your decktop. Summon any number of "Kamen" family cards among them, without paying the cost. Return the remaining cards to the deckbottom.
The scope of the cards can be summoned via the effect is extended to any "Kamen" family cards, and it is also the first time the timing of the effect covers (When Attacks). 
Similar to many keywords in the past, Assemble is another one that can summon cards from the top of the deck. However, with the lesson learnt from the meta dominated by Mealtiply, Assemble is designed to be only once per turn, regardless of the number of copies of the card. Furthermore, the Spirit with Assemble with the lowest cost is four, avoiding the player to build up a board in the first turn, even when starting second.
The name "Assemble" most likely references a trend in the Kamen Rider series back in the Showa era, where each Kamen Rider would often be gaining assistance from older or newer Kamen Riders in their own series, acting like a kind of collaboration among each other.
