DISCLAIMER: I had a few issues with trying to import more than once into one Anki profile from JPDB. I strongly recommend backing your profile up AND what I did for another level of protection was hit the button in the syncing settings so that it did a one way sync on next sync so that I could restore from AnkiWeb easily in case I messed up

Before you start - if you ever abandoned cards, open your JPDB review history in Notepad++ or something and switch abandoned to nothing or something. (I removed any abandoned reviews on the end of their list, but that's a little trickier)

The basic idea I had here was to:

  1. Import one of the BIG core decks
  2. Import JPDB cards into the core deck note
  3. Use "Find Duplicates" to match JPDB cards to their filled out core deck cards
  4. Tag the duplicates, then merge the JPDB and Core cards that were dupes
  5. I used the tag to split these (now filled out) JPDB cards into a JPDB (Core) deck
  6. Now I deleted the core deck, and changed note type for the JPDB cards to whatever note I actually wanted
  7. I used Migaku to fill the dictionary entries for the JPDB cards that didn't match a core card. There are other extensions that do this but Migaku lets you use basically whatever Yomichan dictionary you want which is super nice. If you go this way I strongly recommend adding multiple definitions to each card since it gets them wrong sometimes if two words have the same spelling. (Also this let me remove the furi/pitch markup from sentences which didn't work on my Anki mining note)

The extensions I used:
