The listing here is meant to more accurately convey the way this card is actually ruled to work.

Note: This isn't a mistranslation. This is a case where the official rulings for the card differ from the card text, both in English and in Japanese, and so an official errata is needed in both languages. An email ruling, as well as the card's official Q&A, both state that trashing your [DeadlyAxemon]'s digivolution cards isn't actually meant to be part of the effect, and the [DeadlyAxemon] doesn't actually need to have digivolution cards to be chosen. The "trash all of the digivolution cards" clause is meant to be treated as reminder text. As a result, the printed effect text is misleading. Source
