IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS CHAOTIC!?

Literally didn’t know there was a card game but the show was the shit back in the day. This show as a big part of my childhood

Chaotic is a gem. The artwork, lore and show were all done so well. My card collection is worth around 5k usd as well.

Some random channel 20 years from now: ‘Billiam Was Weird’

never knew Chaotic was an actual card game, I just watched the show for the lols as a kid😂😂

I never played Chaotic, but I have to say the series was one of the best card-based shows I've ever seen. They actually took the card-playing aspect seriously & knew how to balance it out with world-saving/adventure aspects of Perim. Plus, half of the time their trips to Perim was to scan a creature, item, or mugic for their decks, which could be seen as a more action-packed equivalent to players going to game shops or flea markets to find that one card they REALLY needed

To me Chaotic was a “family friendly” version of Magic the Gathering. Especially when monsters were split up in Tribes. I got to admit, some of the monster look pretty cool.

Well, guess who is back from the great beyond. I repeat, Chaotic has been announced to make a comeback. Spread the word!

I liked the show more than the game. The show had the characters fighting and looking at the card game and video game, it doesn't look that interesting. The show was good and I liked the animation!

I actually forgot about Chaotic. I remember I really liked the show, but I had no clue what happened to it. I just assumed it was canceled. I knew there was a card game, but most of my friends either played Pokémon or Yu-gi-oh. It’s kinda sad how such a good series ended the way it did. Maybe I’ll watch it again someday just for nostalgia. I’m still kinda surprised that I forgot about and even more surprised that I randomly found a video talking about the show and game years after it died out.

I COMPLETELY forgot this ever existed. You unlocked a memory in my head I never knew existed. Thank you.

".. An incredibly dedicated fanbase.." ".. All 9 of them." Oof.

I remember pulling Maxor out of a dollar store pack and flipped shit, yelling “I REMEMBER HIM FROM THE SHOW” and not realizing how rare he was till I was older and now since I’ve moved, I can’t seem to find it, sadness. Poor little matador

I fucking knew someone was going to bring this up. I knew I couldn't be the only one who remembers this show!

I always thought Chaotic was a weird dream I had or something 😂

This just unlocked some hidden memories! Damn I just remembered watching this when I was a kid and I completely forgot about it

Anyone Remember *Tak And The Power of Juju* !!??

Series had a lot of potential. I liked the strategic elements in the TCG and the politics between the tribes in the cartoon.

I have vaguely positive memories of Chaotic the cartoon. In particular, the weird hybrid of portal fantasy and virtual reality involved in the running-around-scanning-stuff plots stood out as Interesting and Unique. I remember wishing the show focused more on that and less on the card game stuff, but now I have isekai video game anime to fill that hole. Things I didn't realize it had include seasons with a radically different artstyle, a physical TCG, and several cast/crew members in common with Sonic X.

Jokes on you, Chaotic: Shadow Warriors was also on DS!

I was on the American team that beat canada for the worlds championship. Such a great community of people. I still have the worlds best Mipedian collection just sitting in storage. Shame the game never got through its legal issues.

why does every video on this channel hit my exact nostalgia itch it's great

"The Mordicai card goes for up to $100 on E-bay" *Cries in Black Lotus*

I used to love the show, it was the best part of coming back home from school.

I won't lie I watched this show... Was a nice way to kill time... Anime community should thank Chaotic for Bankrupting 4kids with that law suit

This was huge in my country. I remember when the Yu-Gi-Oh magazine had a monthly monster design contest and somebody just drew the purple and green guy and won the main prize...lil shit

LOL HOW DO I REMEMBER THIS SHOW!? It had such a weird premise but enjoyable at the same time

I literally stole the concept of this show, threw it into D&D (dungeons and dragons) and called it “the game of the gods” it was pretty lit for a bit.

Hey, that’s me. I still adore this game. This was a great video.

Chaotic was a solid effort as a show, and had a lot of interesting lore and some entertaining plots, especially in regards to giving Creatures backstories. The few video games made based on the show were also fairly decent efforts. A shame it never went further than that because I'd have loved to see more.

OMGGG I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS SHOW!! My entire childhood was watching Sonic x and chaotic on Saturdays

I watched most shows that 4Kids put on tv! Sonic X, Cubix, Medabots, Yugioh, Winx, One Piece, Mew Mew Power, Chaotic 😂 luv all of em though!!! I actually have Chaotic for PS3 😂

8:48 He defend He attack But most importantly He scan

I really loved this show It's probably the first story driven cartoon I really got into Yeah, first season makes it look like a light hearted comedic action cartoon(and it is) but in seasons 2 and 3 things got pretty serious and the comedy kinda took a backseat to the drama.

I loved the artwork and scanning to collect creatures concept, it was such an engaging show I wish they just dropped the card game aspect and made it a full blown show. I still vividly remember the locations and creatures a decade later and I wish there was something new since I last visited it.

0:09 Billiam predicted the card opening craze by about two years

This brings tears to my eyes. This was my absolute favourite show, I've rewatched it 3 times and I still love it. If the show could ever come back in my lifetime that would be a dream come true for me. I never thought people even remembered this show and card game.

I still remember the sort of creepy part with Tom (and I'm not one to poke at show logic on kid's shows) being part of the gaming card world and his real version of himself still being able to live life normally while his other self keeps playing in the world of Chaotic. Just recall as a kid being creeped out legit about how the game Tom might never be able to log off Chaotic and the other one never goes back to sync up and game Tom gets lost and forgotten forever. Know its silly, but even today I still found it weird. ^O^

Chaotic was the game I always loved for one reason: the mechanics. Gameplay overall was iffy and a little hard. But the mechanics are absolutely amazing. Land cards with actual effects, weapon cards, magic cards with impressive setups, attack cards that can be used for any monster, and the four monster categories with such unique mythos and mechanics. It’s just so cool overall

Loved this show and the game so much I was sad and pissed when I found out that there weren't gonna be more episodes. It for me was like a combo of Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh and, Digimon in small ways

You want to get a 2000's kids nostalgia boner going, talk about bakugan, they'll never stop.

Chaotic just had so much potential that it just wasted. The card art was super cool, the ideas around the strategic monster movement was cool, the musical magic was a really nifty idea. The problem is that nothing great really came from it. It had a ton of potential for video games that just never came to fuition. Imagine a game where you have a full open world with all the tribes constantly fighting for dominance. Scanning monsters at different times and place could get you better versions of them, depending on the circumstances. Like if a monster is geared up for war, he'd have different stats, strengths and weakness than if they were just sitting at home, or if they defect to another tribe. But you dont get the battle gear if you scan them while wearing it, so sneakily going to the greatest warriors villages would still be useful since they arent wearing their armor and weapons. Imagine being able to covertly effect the tribes politics to cause a war and get to scan geared up monsters, or to get a certain monster killed making any scans you have of that monster more valuable. Imagine being able to actually take pictures of the monsters and apply effects to it and essentially create the art for the cards your scans get you.

When this was localized to latin america, we only got the series post the first season. idk how much I missed about that? but? I loved the idea so much? Taht it just threw me into the fray without a single word of backstory. just throw me into a cohesive story without need of Backstory heck ye

I watched this as a kid, and never noticed the change in animation style. Wild

THERE ARE EIGHT MORE FANS LEFT!? Here I thought I was all alone.

CHOATIC WAS NOT FORGOTTEN! It lives on in all our hearts

this is a weird find on a youtube recommended feed. Chaotic was definitely a show that I watched when I was... 10-11 years old but I somehow forgot about it. I clicked because it looked familiar and now that I'm reminded of it, I'll watch it.

As a kid I freaking loved Chaotic

Unfortunately, I doubt any card game would be able to survive a 3 year hiatus. No official events, no official releases, nothing spoken about whats going on. Just one day you're announcing a new set, and the next.. POOF, nothing. And then 3-4 years later, they come out and like "4KIDS WAS SUING FOR FULL RIGHTS AND LOST AFTER 3 YEARS!" - but the damage was already done... It losts its platform... I wholeheartedly believe that Chaotic could have been the next MtG or YuGiOh if it was given the chance... Sad to see things die...

Ah, I loved Chaotic, I remember rushing home from school to jump online to play some games. Never played in real life, but the online gameplay always kept me interested.

I really loved this show back when I was younger. I even recently rewatched the show as an adult and I, to my surprise, I didn't hate it like I do with a lot of stuff I loved as a kid.

These were some of the most obscure memories in the furthest corners of my brain and you managed to find them

Oh shit. I thought those were two completely different Chaotic themed shows. I had no idea that it was just one show.

I haven't forgotten it, I just enjoy rewatching their anime again recently, and it just further solidified the difference between itself and others, especially Yu-Gi-Oh, because unlike Yu-Gi-Oh, Chaotic sticks to its own IRL game rules, mind you that's because chaotic set up it's actual gaming rules prior to creating its show, which differs from the Yu-Gi-Oh TV series which was created originally from a manga, and we all know how Lawless those can get, regardless chaotic sticks to its rules always, and even more importantly it never cops out or Straight hands them a victory because they're the MCs, especially like how in YU Gi Oh almost every single episode just either creates a card out of freaking nowhere that just happens to save Yami's butt and then conveniently forgetting its purpose only one episode later or put a card in that does exist, except change its effect or its power " i mean seriously, Yu-Gi-Oh invented cards on the spot for plot convenience way too often and that is just bad storytelling" Plus chaotic does have its charm, and I actually quite prefer the anime-esk style in the later seasons but to each their own that's more of a opinion-based thing

i finished the entire 360 version in one day when i was kid, and it got me into the show, then i bought one tin of cards and never played or seen chaotic until today

I just saw your winx one and I'm so glad you have one on chaotic too!

*all nine of them are like super into it* _destruction 100_

That sucks Imagine if it still alive now VR could expand the experience

Chaotic still has a pretty active community, chaotic recode is a way to still play the game online, and somehow there’s still new people who stop in occasionally. If you want, you should definitely check it out.

Thank you recommendations, i lowkey was trying to remember the name of this series for the longest time oml

I completely forgot about Chaotic until RU-vid recommended this video to me lol! I was never really into it but I remember watching the show a few times and I think I bought a few packs of cards. Thanks for bringing back a few memories!

i still have my chaotic cards but i never knew anyone to battle 😔

I arrived here after watching NegativeLegends video on a Chaotic playlist. I still dont have a clue how I found that playlist. Lol I had just about forgotten this TV show.

I loved this show as a kid! After watching your video about Duel Masters I started reading a bit on Chaotic and what had been of it... and then I found this video! Love your channel, keep doing what you do.

Bro, I have been fucking wondering what the hell the name of this series was! Thank you for reminding me, this is like some half remembered fever dream man.

Oh Jesus! Childhood memories are coming back to me!

You’ve covered most of the little shards of memory’s that I can’t ever remember from 4kids but you brought the good memories back

I remember watching the first season as it aired on tv when I could, and I was getting into it. I really wish it kicked off and kept going, seeing as though I'm really into tcgs now that the era is over (poor me] and the lore was probably something that could have kept me interested for quite a few years with some nostalgic reminiscing, kinda like how I started collecting the new beyblades for that reason.

Chaotic was great, i still occasionally revisit the show.

I miss Chaotic. The card game we really wasn't the best but it was actually my first and the anime was amazing. I still have almost all of my original cards.

It was a really interesting show I absolutely loved it It was a combination of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon But you are your ace monster/Pokemon I always love concepts of monsters adapting with their own abilities, and also upgrading them I remember going to the 4kids site and collecting a bunch of stickers and playing this protect the castle type game from Chaotic online lol

This RU-vid channel is literally a nostalgic trip to childhood

The chaotic discord is in fact a crazy dedicated group

In high school the game store near my school couldn't get rid of their chaotic stock that had long been gathering dust. My friends and I all pitched in for a total of $100 to get all of their booster boxes and singles. Being able to build decks freely made me realize how broken it was.

I had remembered Cubix vaguely so i looked it up and found your video, but when I saw this in the recommended this also jogged my memory about this

DUDE, I LOVED THIS SHOW!!! I had forgotten about it, and now I'm glad I came by your video. I did buy some cards in those mix packs, but never found anyone to play with. Most kids just wanted to play Yu-Gi-Oh and Digimon. I think the show died out and I never used the cards for more than hoarding, a shame really. It seems interesting. Nice video man!

well pokemon was actually more about selling the video games than the cards

Oh fuck, i remember Chaotic from here Brazil, it was so big, just like Bakugan, The show was so cool, but i was just a kid so you know. And just like bagukan, it just died over time.

It's actually making a return! They're working on a relaunch and I'm one of the many fans!

Omg I was looking for this show for so long, thanks

Damn, I loved chaotic. I think I'm gonna go rewatch it all now. And play with the cards... And maybe sell them

I remember watching this and strangely liking it...

CHAOTIC IS COMING BACK WOO!!

omg wow you brought back memories of this show!

Man I remember this show. And also remembered how much it really kind of fit my kind of preferences. It was a real “throw shit on the wall and go from there” with some of their stuff, like having a kind of mixture of science and magic with the gear and Mugic, how the designs for these separate tribes went and where they could fit in a category and the show really made it an adventure. I think one episode I remembered a lot was one where Tom was kind of forced to try out a different tribe being the lizards and kind of learned how different each monster were and eventually used them in his battle to win. It was honestly a very fond memory of the show. Maybe we could see something of a return but it doesn’t look like it anytime soon. Someday maybe.

Damn this video gave me like a mini nostalgia trip. I remembered watching tons of 4kids! When I was a child because at the time my family didn't have Satellite TV. The cartoon I watched the most from that was definitely the 2003 TMNT cartoon but I also remember watching TMNT Fast Forward, Sonic X, Yugioh, and the Chaotic cartoon. I definitely do remember the Chaotic card game comercials, and I had the same Wii game lol. I don't think I got very far in it though.

Seeing the green guy unlocked some kind of primal, long forgotten childhood memory in me and I suddenly remembered I watched this show all the time

I loved the show as a kid. The idea of becoming the monsters and obtaining their powers was soooo cool. I was actually looking back for old shows I watched, and I couldn't remember the name of this one till I watched this video! So thank you!!

This show awakened a few things in me

I honestly loved this show. Can you do Gormitti next? It's similar to chaotic but was made to sell small blind pack figures

You just opened up a memory I didn't even know I had I liked this show as a kid

This video brought back some... deep memories. Some deep, deep memories.

I actually kind of miss this show. It was weirdly interesting at a time when a lot of other shows were just reruns and recycled plot

I loved the tv show. Mostly around Season 2. I hope it comes back! Nice video

Omg thank you for these videos I had forgotten all about this show 🔥🔥🔥

I actually started watching this show because of you I was very hesitant at first but I finished the series and loved it so thank you Billiam !

I used to watch this show as a kid on 4kids! Now I wanna go back and rewatch it!

I _swear_ it was called Chaotix...

Why is his content just so watchable this is like the third time I've watched this video and like I can't not rewatch his content like 5 times his voice is just hypnotic
