Can you beat YuGiOh Forbidden Memories as Shadi? 

Apologies for the voice levels going a bit quiet mid-video. Recorded this when sleep was about #3 on my priority list.

All roads truly lead back to twin headed thunder dragon

Jon_Oh: "Shadi is a terrible duelist. If you lose to him, you suck at this game." Shadi in this run beats Heishin. Shadi: "So, you're saying there's a chance..."

future shadi: "i am a shadow, the true self" our shadi: "nah, you suck at dueling im actually good at it"

Admit it! You fear the reptiles!

Guard: "welcome to the salty spitoon, how though are you?" Jon_Oh: "once i beat yu-gi-oh forbidden memories." Guard: "so what, me too!" Jon_Oh: "using Shadi's cards only." Guard: "right this way sir... please dont hurt me."

it's as they say... Shadi is like a melody in my head that I can't keep out, got me singing like, na na na na, every day, like my eyeballs stuck on replay, replay,eyayeyay

"Turtle sub-type." Man I love this silly-ass game. I would say 'clearly we need a Turtle-Only run,' but I feel like this deck is already like, 80% of what that would be anyways, along with more equips and traps.

So this is what parenthood does to a man's sanity...

Welp. No point doing any other runs. Every duelist in the game threw their hands up and resigned from ever playing again thanks to Shadi. That explains why the game in the anime was forgotten about for thousands of years.

"Mesmerized by the figure in front of us, we decide to touch ourselves." What a sentence 🥴🥴

Congrts on fatherhood. In honor of this achivement, i want to cast a vote for the 'angel' type, or as we call them, fairys. In honor of your own little angel

Cant wait for can you beat the game as Simon muran 😂

AS SHADI?! i did NOT see that one coming, good stuff.

Shadi’s like a melody in my head

♫ Go, go, Go Shadi It's your birhtday We gonna party like it's your birthday Sometimes I feel bad for you subjecting yourself to this kind of thing lol

Shadi: A loser can always win at least once.

yknow man, i swear old school ygo cards have a level of charm that the modern era hasnt hit in a long time. Idk, somethin about Great White, or Neo the mystic swordsman, or queens double. They just feel more iconic than say a new constellar monster.

17:44 Honestly, I feel like the devs made Shadi weak so that you don't have to sit through that cutscene for every loss. As a kid who didn't know fusions, this was much appreciated after finally beating Bandit Keith.

Nobody better throw shade on my boi little Shadi fr.

Shadi has decided that he will no longer help the main charactwr and instead, become the main character

Modern Yu-Gi-Oh needs to slow down otherwise I won't be able to play it anymore. I'll just be collecting the cards. That's why it's so refreshing watching this man at work.

They do say that "every dog has its day" so I guess Shadi can get one moment of glory. Also, I'm amazed at how good Chakra's model looks, a lot of the models in Forbidden Memories are hilariously janky looking but this one is very accurate.

You, my man, prefer us to be greatly entertained than keeping your sanity. Thank you for yet another awesome run, and congrats on your child! I'm expecting mine for August :)

Our savior Shad-di, always carrying the game as always

Guess you could say, Shadis like a melody in my head

Man. This deck was pretty shoddy.

Can you beat yugioh forbidden memories with season 1 yugi deck

I really appreciate your effort. And commentary in the videos. It gives me that type of satisfaction. That you get talking to someone who has the same interest as you. It almost feels like we're having a discussion about Yu-Gi-Oh. Even though I'm not exchanging words with you. It the closest. Your lore an or trivia gives that same satisfaction.

My condolences for dealing with this run. I think a run with machines may help out.

serpent night dragon is actually one of my favourite early yugioh monsters as well as baby dragon and harpie's pet dragon n i guess the sheep/ goat tokens if those count (if they do those might be my favourites. the filler episode where the ai uses dna surgery on scapegoat to poly into FHD is one of my favourites, i just thought that idea and animation was really cool)

This is either the most confidence shattering, or confidence building run possible. If Shadi can beat Forbidden Memories, why can't/so can you.

I dont think you understand just how much better this video made my day.

That was absolutely amazing. Congrats, Jon_Oh!! A few things I thought when watching the video: - It's possible and painful to use Swords of Revealing Light by fusing Shadow Spell + Dark Piercing Light. Unfortunately Shadow Spell is locked on Pocketstation as well, but can be fused from Spellbinding Circle + Spellbinding Circle. - On these tough runs you should standardize using Magic Lock. Magic Lock works by having a card on your side whose basic ATK is lower than the opponent, but higher due to equip cards (field magic DO count, though). The opponent does not consider the equip cards for this check and that's why the suicide glitch works. Magic lock will prevent any magics such as Raigeki to be used while you fulfill this magic lock condition (the AI does not think its worth Raigeking you because your monster is "weaker", although it won't attack as you as well, unless in suicide glitch conditions). - Sometimes it's scary going for a fake out with low LP (maybe preparing for suicide glitch) against opponents that have Final Flame or other direct damage magic cards. You can prevent them to use it by having a back row magic or trap card (any one works). Looking forward to the next one! I'll love to see Simon getting his revenge.

Another jon oh vid just dropped

I think you deserve to have a fun/easy run after this. Maybe a Seto run or something. But like you are stuck using seto 1 until you beat seto 1, seto 2 until you beat seto 2. Ect ect.

Dude seriously now...seeing you beating the game I couldn't even finish is absolutely hilarious! Also you are quite the storytelling genius, didn't think I could watch an hour long video about this...but now I have watched them all, multiple times... Keep up the freakin' good work!

"Clearing away his last pathetic monster" getting Exodia'd after insulting Mage Solider like that would've been poetic

If you wanna know why shadi other alias is Hassan, its a manga only where they go inside the Pharaoh memory. After Zorc revive, Hassan (he calls himself the shadow of millenium item, he also goes inside as Bobasa) comes out and when he defend the group from Zorc attack, the mask crack and turns out its Shadi inside

It would be great to see more of these, beating the game with a card pool of one of the NPCs is such a cool concept. I think Seto would be cool, he's the earliest enemy that has any way to answer a BEUD in the form of dark hole, you get spellbinding circle and swords of revealing light, you get all the field spells but no equip spells, you can't fuse THTD, and you get a 2300 built into the deck. I think 2800 is the best you can do including fusions and field spells.

Wasn’t expecting a Shadi deck so soon and can’t wait for the next series.

Thanks for the fun video, im excited for the eventual character rankings after the current series

Another great video. I have a video suggestion that I think you'll like: A run showing off surprising or surprisingly useful fusions! I feel like most of us end up seeing the same old same old Twin Headed, Magical Sand, etcetera, and it could be really fun to show off some of the less seen fusions in the game.

without a shadi of a doubt, yet another masterpiece, Jon! and congrats on being a dad! with your guidance, your kid will never lose to shadi

Couldn't hold my laughter when I saw the Shadi portrait in Pegasus' home

Shadi was actually a ghost all along? What is this, Ace Attorney?

oh good lord. I havent even started the video and I already... ALREADY, pray for you Jon-oh lol. but I eagerly watch with excitement!

Congrats on your updates in life; condolences to your previous one. Thanks for the vid during the chaotic transition!

I dont think ive stopped watching these for almost a week, why cant I stop?

I am sorry for the pain you had to endure in the making of this video

Definitely love the idea of doing runs with character decks and Shadi was a heck of way to start. The commentary and trivia, as always, were great. There was a lot about Shadi I didn't even know about. I still hope to see the Aqua type run, but if you are also taking suggestions for character runs, I would love to see you try using the Labyrinth Mage's deck at some point.

I've almost "watched" all of your runs till the end. Tbh, I turn em on when I go to bed and mostly fall asleep after the "Shadi sucks at this game" part. To this day, I don't even know if you've ever finished a challenge. 🤔 But thanks for putting me asleep over the last couple weeks 👌😎

Thank you for another amazing video Jon_Oh can't wait to see the next forbidden memories video in 2 months

I was just thinking about earlier today when you were to upload a new video and here it is!

Can’t wait for this channel to pop off, love the videos

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I hope this comment gives a small boost and keeps your video in the algorithm where it belongs. First, amazing run. Wow, can't believe anyone pulled this off. Second, congratulations on being a father! Special thanks to Mrs. Jon_Oh for encouraging you to work on the videos, I know you mentioned that in the Master K video. Lastly, another congratulations on 20K subscribers! Every single one is well deserved and I look forward to watching you shatter more goals, pull off insane challenges, and enjoy more fulfilling moments with your family. Straight up, couldn't have happened to a better guy.

been following you for ages and wanna say congratulations on nearly 20k.

the video i've been waiting for

I just wanted to say, I greatly appreciate the moonlight greatsword reference from bloodborne lol

With all those cool Shadi facts , you reminded me to try and invest into the Yugioh Mangas at some point~~ Loved reading'em in my Shonen jump's I used to collect~~

Now, I have the image of Trustan and Duke being shaved by Shadi in my head. I can't stop giggling to myself.

The first Shonen Jump I owned was one that was going over the Shadi arc in the manga. I remember it vividly because it was one that involved Joey telling the possessed professor to eat his ass and I was scared that my teachers would confiscate the book because it had a swear word. I was a very weird little kid.

Hell yes I was looking forward to this

Congratulations on your life update! This channel is such a great bastion of quality content in today's world. Cheers

WOOOO HES BACK BABY

Amazing video Jon-Oh! You're the best

I really liked the character lore as you play as them thing, that was fun!

Honestly, I never thought shadi as a good guy as more so as a force of nature, with his greatest goal to watch over the millienum items and to make sure they Don't fall into unworthy hands. He probably kept an eye on yugi simply for the sake that he is the wielder of the puzzle and wanted to make sure that yugi was on the correct path to fix what is necessary and put the pieces to rest.

27:14 I'd love to see a "Can You Beat YuGiOh Forbidden Memories As Unruly Pet Birds" Just as many interrupts, traps, 'no u' cards, and frankly obnoxious monsters as you can have.

I definitely saw one of the earlier opponents pull off a ritual summon once and I had no idea what was happening. I never made it passed Rex as a kid so it had to be one of the early past people.

Glad to see an video on Easter here in the USA

As someone who plays modern yugioh and just stumbled onto this channel holy heck this channel is great.

Really love your Forbidden Memories content, please continue your good work 😊 Greetings from Europe and best wishes for you and your family ❤

This is a really cool idea for a challenge, thanks for the great YFM content!

I like these videos a lot. It hits the Forbidden Memories nostalgia and the story telling is similar to Summoning Salt.

One April fools to another, you have my sympathy, Shadi.

I always wondered why Shadi never duels in the anime considering that he was one of yugi's earliest rivals in the manga. In some of the video games, Shadi would copy another duelist's deck randomly. As a result, you wouldnt know what you were up against until you were a few turns in

Oh now I see why Shadi is considered a joke due to looking at the game code. While he has a decent deck (including being able to access at least 1 Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon), in reality, the deck really struggles during the mid to late game by having small engines mixed in with no real cohesion. The good cards he does have are okay, but they need heavy support like the few equip cards he has. You really make these challenges entertaining and I learn something new every video about Forbidden Memories. 56:52 Sick Alt art for the card.

I think for the next character challenge you should try a pegasus deck challenge. Then you can go "any ohhhhhh, kaiba boy" when you fight him

I really enjoy these videos. Thanks for the entertainment!

Never thought a meme you made would have comeback to bite you in the arse man! BUT! You were victorious!!! That's the important thing! Still I had no idea each duelist had different cards they can use against you... Wish younger me knew that! Also when you do the Machine deck run... How bout making it Mad Max theme? Death Machines... Wasteland... seems like a good recipe for a run!

> Being Australian and realizing it's April first... > Tell the boys to watch the fuck out tomorrow when everyone else drop the memes. > Secretly rub hands together waiting for the dirty LockPickingLawyer meme :)

Had an idea for a challenge run: Defeating Forbidden Memories with reflection damage. Aka the Fiend Reflection Run. FM has a glitch where the CPU will check whether or not it will attack based on an algorithm. This algorithm will check for if an attack will win them the game, and will immediately attack if so. The glitch is that this check applies BEFORE the game checks differences in original attacks. The result is that if you control monster A and they have monster B, and the original attacks mean that B against A would be lethal, the CPU will attack even if you load equips onto A to raise it above B. E.g. If you have 500LP, and summon the 0 ATK Millennium Shield with 2 megamorphs to make it 2000 ATK, then the game will willingly send a 1400 Bean Soldier into the Shield and take 600 damage, because if it applied the original 0 ATK of Shield, the attack would be lethal. Rules of the run: Any damage done to the opponent must be due to their own attacks. You can run weak monsters into the opponent to lower your LP enough for the glitch to apply. Duplicating cards and starting deck equip looping is fine.

HYPE HYPE 🎉🎉 and congratulations man

Jon_Oh dropping the banger vids like usual.

Shadi dropped his crown king. Goodshit Jon! Cheers buddy. Here’s to the next video enjoy some rest

Wa wa wee wa. Didn't see this run coming. Love your videos on this game! Only ever played it once and that was during 2011, knee-deep in the synchro era. Couldn't believe a guy could drop a Perfect Great moth 1st turn! Glad to see it can actually be beaten. Lol

Good ol' Bloodborne reference! "My guiding moonlight!"

Wait, it's already april first where you live? I expected to watch this video tomorrow xDDDDDDD Either way, I'll start watching now, you dropped this right in time for dinner. Love your content, you really manage to make your replays of this game stand out

Jagshamesh! My name is Shadi. I'm here to bamboozle you with my cryptic nonsense that won't pay off for about five seasons. ...I am a ghost! High Five!

I love the anime/manga lore you go over

In this moment, Shadi was both happy and disappointed after playing with himself 🤦‍♂️

Hey, I just discovered those text effects in DaVinci Resolve, a few days ago. 😁 Also, you made my day by making the first shoop da whoop reference anyone has made in a bit over a decade. 🤣

Great as usual Mate! Cheers!

At least you practice a little for the quantity of losses when comes the reptile deck, great video :P

I haven’t seen the swords of revealing light effect before. It’s cool that is stays on the field

Holy I am curious how this run will go😅. Thank you as always. Now I will enjoy the video

Jesus Christ, that was quite the roller coaster! I’m impressed how far you were able to take Shadi’s deck 😃

Love these videos, I have a huge amount of nostalgia for forbidden memories! Did you ever play the original Digimon World?

"Jagshamesh, my name is Shadi. It seems this Jon_Oh boy isn't as jewish as I first thought." This is a reference to the abridged series for context.
