Actually their FIRST first duel was with both of them playing Elemental HERO, although Aster used alternate artwork. Aster used the same Elemental cards against Zane a few episodes later, and then finally cracks out the Destiny HERO cards against Jaden the episode after; that's the clock tower duel. I think the way that gets confusing in the modern lens is that when Aster used the Elementals it was mostly to build to Phoenix Enforcer and Shining Phoenix Enforcer, which in the actual TCG were terrible garbage that weren't played, but were later retrained into a Destiny HERO that you ABSOLUTELY remember far better.
@@EinDose The first time Aster Dueled Jaden, he used a mishmash pile from packs. Then he Dueled Zane with Phoenix Enforcer Turbo, then Dueled Jaden and started using his Destiny HEROes, which he wins, then he faces Jaden again with Jaden using Neos, and Aster took an L
There's actually 2 sub-archetypes for E-Heroes: first is the the E-Heroes we know from the anime (that Jaden briefly used in the manga) like Avian that're based on American superheroes. The second is the "Omni-Heroes", used by Jaden in the manga after inheriting them from his mentor, Koyo. They have Fusions that didn't require specific Hero cards (except for Terra Firma/The Earth), but required 1 E-Hero + 1 Monster of any Attribute, making them easier to summon out (e.g. 2 E-Heroes with different Attributes can fuse into at least 2 possible E-Hero Fusions) and even abuse Super Polymerization.
A bit of cool trivia: Elemental heroes are based in american comic heroes Destiny heroes are based in european comic heroes Masked heroes are based in the heroes from tokusatsu and Neos is probably based on Ultraman
I'm a little saddened that he didn't highlight Destiny Hero as being an anomaly for the HERO macrotype, on account of them mainly being built around God-Card-esque "tribute 3 monsters to summon me from hand" cards, with Fusion summoning being an anomaly in the archetype (until Arc V came along)
I actually created an Anti-Hero archetype myself. The deck relies on fusion summoning in response to different actions. Their boss monster is Anti-Hero Antithesis.
long time ago i wanted to make a hero archetype called HERO-ic knights were they were based on the weapons they used but I didn’t know how they should work, so I scratched the idea
I wish E☆HERO Pit Boss had its own Entertainment archetype. It sounds like it would've been used by Yuya in Arc-V. Like an alternate universe version of Performapals
True heros looking op already that avengers asymbole spell going be real but ill wait for the superman archetype then hopefully the hulk archetype comes out to
Vision hero and mask hero and some destiny heroes and stratos are the best cards for a hero deck. Also evil hero is good too but it needs only dark gaia and the materials and dark fusion and dark calling. And a good electro magnet deck.
It recently occurred to me that there isn't a Burstinatrix x Sparkman Fusion, reply with what you think their fusion would have been named and its effect/super power. As for mine.... Elemental Hero Blaze Blaster. ATK: 2200 DEF: 1800. When summoned she burns opponents life points for half of her attack point points or defence points based on which position she's summoned in.
Ngl i love gx better than any other yugioh sure jaden isn't some millenium alter ego, dueling with bikes, or goes through a vr surfing or whatnots, he's just a student, fk he's even the lowest who rise through the ranks. Sure he met some neo space deck but that's the best part, but of course jaden still uses the elemental hero because fusion monsters is cool asf especially if jaden does it. I just hope there's a cool fusion between neo spacians, elemental heroes, crystal beast, etc.
