Archetype Archive - Jinzo 

I swear my right wall isn't overrun with fungi. This place has a weird paint job that looks way worse on video than it does IRL. Don't worry, if I do eventually get a fungus infestation at my place I'll make sure to film a Naturia skit around it.

Jinzo is not what I expected to see next. At least we’ll be safe from those Houses of Adhesive Tape.

6:23 the gx Jinzo duels ending is hillarious to me cause instead of Jaiden having some situational Hero card to counter Jinzos Call of the Haunted he just fucking Solemn Judgements that shit

I think the weakest part of the Jinzo archetype is that the original Jinzo just does the job better than the rest of the archetype. Just shuts down all Trap. All the retrains just never recapture the simplicity and effectiveness

the jinzo snatch steal loop is my favorite one. the idea of jinzo walking back and forth endlessly is funnier than the numerous pole position loops

If Jinzo was released during 5Ds, he would undoubtedly be psychic type.

Rata remembered that he has a channel, time to binge archetype archive again

I'm so glad you went off about the "Grotto" names because that's a tangent I used to think about a lot as a child. I do think the Psychic Megacyber's effect to turn monsters into traps would be an interesting way to take future support; It incapacitates monsters, sets up face-up traps for the Jinzo variants that want those, and could eventually clog the backrow, thus preventing spell activations without needing a direct "spell hate" effect.

Hearing Lime has a degree in sociology finally connected all the pieces I needed to under him

Jinzo gives of the "working out in the library energy"

Ah Jinzo, one of my favorite cards ever printed……and one of the most awkward archetypes ever. Thank god they didn’t go down the “Jinzo, cyborg with Red-Eyes” route with this thing.

I fell into the trap card of watching every archetype archive … again

Knowing what's known about the localization team circa Jinzo's release, we should count ourselves lucky he didn't get named "Arty", short for "Artificial".

The fact that a factory error made Jinzo 6 stars instead of 7 made the card a fan favorite and is even referanced in The Machine Menace effect is so funny to me.

Jinzo having an identity crisis of not knowing where he belongs at 7:20 is definitely comedic genius. Bravo, Rata. Bravo

In the anime they had Jinzo crossing his arms for his standing position so I wondered why the original card art didn’t having Jinzo crossing his arms to reflect that.

Imagine if they gave this archetype a field spell that treats all face-up backrow as trap cards as long as you control a "Jinzo" monster.

The ending skit implies that Ojama Lime knows how to write. By Ojama standards, that indeed makes him a (self) certified genius.

I think it's time Konami gave the fans what they want and finally make "Ogre Grotto" into an official archetype

In the amplifier card art, Jinzo’s gloves are off and you can see his glowing veiny hands

Now it's time for Red-Eyes Jinzo You know, it's a thing Joey used 😅

4:40 agreed. Jinzo - Lord feels like Konami realizing that “burn your opponent based on X thing” could be abused, then forgetting that and printing Blaze Fenix a year later.

Nothing on youtube will ever beat the pure rush of dopamine when receiving the notification "Archetype Archive"

3:36 That list of reasons for why the changed Hope to Utopia feels like a fever dream.

18:51 - 19:03 Oh nice, the Skull Servant Archetype Archive.

When the world needed him most He wasn't there But when Jinzo calls He will slip on a Banana and make a great video Dude you are the legend of Yu-Gi-Oh youtubers And we love you for it

Thank you Jinzo for protectong the meta against the Banana Peel trap card

I always assumed that the point of Jinzo - Lord was to replace the Jinzo you brought back with Returner with one that wasn't going to blow up at the end of the turn.

I remember being scared af as a kid when this guy appeared anywhere. The fact he just looks you directly, while having this appearance, was too much for younger me Also man, I miss the early horror aspects of yugioh. Nowdays its just waifus, dragons, and the occasional gun.

Was not expecting an Archetype Archive to drop on my birthday, and no less one based on Jinzo. It was a pleasant surprise for sure

I love the amount of hype and support people give Rata whenever he uploads

I definitely see the a-peel in these introductory segments. Been going bananas without any archetype archives for about a month. Hvala puno :D

Jinzo is the kind of monster you can give it absolute heavy counters to the likes of Eldlich and Labrynth and he will go "Nah I'm good"

The Jinzo video absolutely needed that Spell Canceler naming face-off so thank you for including it.

Yeah, me too Rata, I still miss him dearly. Rest in peace Takahashi sensei, you absolute legend.

Wait, Jinzo has an Archetype? You learn something new everyday.

You know jinzo feels so much like a monster that just wants so bad to retire so they keep retraining him so he can but they keep fucking it up so he just keeps coming back like "YOU FUCKING DONKEYS JUST MAKE ME WITH MORE ATTACK"

This video is a roller coaster. We start out with very high praise of the monster as a whole, ends with shitting on the support for said monster, and take like 4 tangents along the way.

Jinzo: For a world without traps. Sponsored by Rank10YGO

Jinzo - Layered is a card I'd never seen before this video, but it looks like it has some decent stuff going for it. Overlay, detach a Jinzo to steal a monster, then Call of the Haunted to get the Jinzo back which gives you a face-up trap to use Layered second effect, tribute your opponent's monster to destroy another card. Seems alright to me tbh and as long as Call stays on the field, it goes from a 1 for 1 to being field advantage.

14:14 The reason why it is level seven is because you can overlay Red-Eyes black dragon and jinzo the machine menace to go into Red-Eyes flare metal dragon.

the jinzo infinite loop just proves we need a modern archetype dedicated to high chaining effects which achieve a smaller version of that

Honestly my most badass memory of Jinzo is not something really nostalgic but actually when it was used in the OCG Structures manga and won against Darklords.

The other thing about Everlasting Alloy, is that a name like "Everlasting" would make much more sense as a continuous spell like Rata suggested.

Was super excited when these guys came to Duel Links, but nothing they did really impressed me; excited to see what they can do at fulll power Rata really took one for the team in that opening; geez, what a brutal fall!

Rata has blessed us again. Thank you almighty Rata

all the deck really needs is a continuous spell "once per turn target a card on the field, that card is now treated as a trap."

The default Jinzo art is still one of my favorite things to come from the DM era, its a spitting image of the aesthetics that actually manages to look pretty eerie, and the sorta minimalist approach with both it and him *just* being titled "Jinzo" always left a nice impression personally. Even if his archetype isn't exactly peak deck material, I can appreciate there being some level of care put in.

I am just glad you actually mentioned the obscure spell canceller counterpart to Jinzo A lot of people forget he's a thing...

shoutout to duel links for having a skill that makes jinzo alot more playable by basically forcing a trap into the opponent's backrow

Funny enough I managed to get some consistent success with my Jinzo deck by basically combining the Esper Roba cards with cards from another classic villain: Bandit Keith. Heavy Metal Raiders and Desperado Barrel Dragon, for some swarming, protection, and destruction, since most of the Jinzo monsters are dark machines.

That cosmos channeling bit is one of the funniest joke he ever done. Rata is still got it.

A new Rata video instantly means a better day

This feels like a legacy of the Worthless episode all over again

The Grotto stuff could have probably been solved by just making them 'Grotto Ogre'. Since that'd just imply there's some grotto out there that all these spawn from.

For some reason I have obtained a lot of Jinzo cards from the legacy packs in master duel. I made a deck and played a few duels in the anti spell festival last year (the one were people were supposed to use a lot of traps). After some duels against people not running traps, I finally got into a duel against dinomorphia and won, mostly because the dinomorphia player didn't negate my call of the haunted thinking I wouldn't be able to summon Jinzo from the graveyard with it. Not only it works, but if the call of the haunted ever got destroyed, Jinzo stays on the field. Best duel ever.

I feel like with Machine menace, that having a trap that's a foolish burial goods target that searches Jinzo or a jinzo monster might help a lot with the idea they were going for.

i think that if they wanted to make jinzo support the theme of turning your opponents cards into traps as removal and to turn on your trap required effects would be a really cool one to see developed.

if they made a equip spell- "equip only to jinzo. this card cannot be affected by your oponent spells and monsters effects" it would be better support then 80% of the cards shown

The "exodia has infinite attack and rata hates it"-meme continues. Soon there will be an exodia with infinite attack be printed.

jinzo needs a boss monster that turns monsters into traps, prevents them from doing anything and locks your opponent out of spell/trap space. I think it would be kind of fitting to have this dark 80s cyberpunk cyborg slowly take over the field and convert it into their whim. also have a mechanic where you can steal and use your opponents traps, including monsters that you turned into traps, representing jinzo converting them into mind-controlled cyborgs. basically like aliens but throw in a fusion so we can power bond for the funnies

I’m glad he addressed the Grotto conspiracy. I always thought their proper name was ‘Grotto’ and it was just a common name among the Ogres

I absolutely have to respect just how good Rata's taste is with the choice of Breathlessly for the falling bit at the start, but at the same time, super cruel to just hit me with Breathlessly out of nowhere like that.

I think the reason Machine Menace is level 7 is to stop you from using Psychic Shockwave to get it out even easier. I guess?

When the world needs him most... he appears

The most interesting thing was in the last format Jinzo was in 2 of the side decks of some of the top decks in the game, SHS and Branded, as Superheavy could get him with qliphort genius before a pend summon, and Branded could summon it to their own or the opponents field with expulsion, against the Lab or locals traptrix matchup. The card never dies, and it never needed the support

Jinzo does right what so many full archetypes struggle with. Ally of Justice, early vampires, Buster Blader, none of them manage to have the same staying power as a guy who just says "no" to traps

Jinzo is probably one of my favorite cards in the game. It was the fist Yu-gi-oh card I ever learned about, even before I started playing the game/watching the anime, it will always hold a special place in my heart...not that I'll play it or anything, It'll just hold a place in my heart...not my deck though...sadly.

I always find it weird how lacking he and Summoned Skull are in retro support when they were the og meta

Fun fact: the original Japanese name of Jinzo was “Jinzōningen - Saiko Shokkā” or “Artificial Human-Pyscho Shocker” hence why he was used by Esper Roba. I will say shortening it to just Jinzo made the card feel more unique. It felt less like a title and more like a name.

I love how they look like System Shock cyborg monsters given the Cenobites style. Weird how the deck doesn't use the own and rnemy trap destruction mevhanic into it's favour, like how Jinzo Trap Cards have positive effects when destroyed to make the player nuke their traps to help them in the dual.

Jinzo is honestly one of my favourite archetypes, so I'm glad to see your take on the cards!

Isn't it incredible that the whole manga is about self sacrifice and that's also how Mr. Takahashi left this world?

Rata the fact that you released a Jinzo video (one of my personal favourite archetypes) on my birthday brings me no shortage of joy.

I swear, everytime I find myself randomly binging his content again, the king returns to grace us with another video.

Sick monster and i loved the ending skit. Dont worry bubbleman, you got this. Also, turning monsters into backrow would be great idea to do outside of this archetype.

Remember seeing Jinzo for the first time in GX, really freaked me out as a kid

Jinzo is my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card ever alongside Red-Eyes. Seeing a new Archetype Archive pop up on my RU-vid notifications gave me a burst of joy, and then when I saw it was on Jinzo I became even more excited. The Talking Heads joke in the comments is the cherry on top. I think Rata is better than ever. The Melodious Archetype Archive and this one are two of the funniest videos he's ever done, but I also admire Rata's insights into these archetypes. Melodious being an incomplete as opposed to bad archetype, and Jinzo's interesting-but-baffling adaptation into a full archetype make them two of the most fascinating videos in the series. I love how Rata is able to balance hilarious, absurd jokes alongside his analysis of Yu-Gi-Oh game design.

New support shouldve went all in on capturing enemy's monsters and treating them as traps

Servant of Catabolism isn't a snail, that's the guy's head. He's from the same pack as Shapesnatch because they're both Immortals from Duelists of the Roses, and like all Immortals, his art only shows off a small amount of the full creature.

Still waiting for them to make a Red-Eyes Jinzo card for the modern incarnation of Joey's deck. Actually it would be cool to see Red-Eyes versions of every card he won in the story... A Red-Eyes Insect Queen is another one I want to see happen!

18:50 Man, didn't expect the Wight family to make an appearance. Speaking of, can you make a video on that archetype? It's existence baffles me, as it's not based on an anime card and I can't tell why it got so much support.

i really wish we just got a stronger jinzo that shuts down traps anywhere as graveyard traps are quite prolific, maybe a crossover with spell canceler to see how denko sekka was created, idk

I'm impressed you went through the whole video without making any jokes about Astolfo or Bussy.

I'm a little surprised jinzo never got cards to do with his gx duel, like a burn control deck could be pretty cool. Mostly want to see a "jinzo doll of demise"

The fact that Jinzos are linked to the cosmos in some way seems to have implications on their lore. Like are they cosmic beings who have long since forgotten their origin but still have the cultural rituals from the era before it was forgotten.

I'm so upset there isn't a single effect like "if you control "Jinzo", treat all spell cards on your opponent's side of the field and/or in their hand as trap cards until your next Standby Phase." That would be so good, and as an added bonus, make Spell Canceller even more pathetic!

At this point I’m pretty sure the bad camera quality is an artistic decision

All jinzo needs is a field spell that treats opponents monsters and spells as trap cards while on field and while you control a jinzo monster or have a jinzo monster in the graveyard.

That joke with spell canceller in the boxing ring made me pog because it made me think about war of the worthless with that music.

3:36 I'm a bilingual and studying to become a linguist and this made my eyes bleed.

It's been less than 8 months! And he makes a new video!!!!

I wonder if rata will ever do a exodia archetype archive. Since it's the only archetype focused on and alt win condition instead of just having one like ghost trick or f.a.

A Jinzo deep dive was exactly what I needed this morning

Big fan of the Jinzo archetype in the same way I’m big fan of Dark Scorpions. As for the modern support cards themselves, I think their neat but kind of fail at playing to Jinzo’s strengths. Jinzo is a moderately sized beater monster that prevents trap cards and has one of the best beatdown types in the game. Rather than the strange control effects, Jinzo lends itself far better to an Ancient Gear Golem style beatdown deck that uses blanket disruption as a means to punch the opponent in the face. Alternatively, if they went all in on the monster stealing (Duel Links goes a bit in that direction with Espa Roba’s Jinzo skill) then the archetype could have been moderately good at disabling two of the three card categories in the game, which could be further shored up with generic spell destruction/disruption. Support that tries to make Jinzo even better at disabling traps is a fucking headscratcher given that’s the one thing the base card needed absolutely no help with.

He'll be a threat until the end. Respect to the creator the true king of games. And thanks Rata for another great vid

20:31 You're meant to use your psychic powers to know what exactly your opponent drew, come on man you said it yourself it's an anime reference.

This channel has a very weird way of making me sad and extremely happy at the same time 😂

I literally just finished the last episode of 5ds and got dropped a big fat Archetype Archive 2 minutes later. Ya can't make this up

It's such a remarkable experience every time Rata releases a new video. It's incredibly disorienting to see new content that I have not seen before.
