Kaiju Explained in 29 Minutes [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetype Analysis] (feat.  

The archetype that's just "That's a neat boss monster you got there, it'd be a shame if I got rid of it"

Ironic that the archetype that have a tower in its field spell is the perfect counter to towers

Can confirm, using Kaijus in a Relinquished deck is real nice. It's my main deck in Master Duel and is pretty effective.

Gadarla is another great flavor win because of the fact that it can beat pretty much any other kaiju in a fight as long as it has help from humans (removing counters from the field spell and such), mirroring its role in the series as usually being on the side of humanity called in to help reign in other rampaging kaiju.

Let's not forget about Cyber Dragon! Cyber Repair Plant can search the machine kaijus, and the Dragons can fuse with your opponent's machine Kaijus to make Chimeratech Fortress.

I kind of wish there was a way to safely run a pure Kaiju deck, simply because I love these beeg monster bois.

Okay now the Kaihus are one of my favorite, yet also most infuriating archetypes I've ever tried to play. Mostly because whatever I did with them my opponent would always find a way to screw me over. I also feel that the lack of support cards to help the Kaijus also makes it a very niche deck to try and use in a pure deck.

Speaking of Kaiju i remember there's this one guy who really persistent, that Supreme King Z-Arc (anime) CANNOT be tributed for Kaiju It was in the comment section of one ygo video, but i forgot what it is

The best part of Thunder King is his element/attribute. Him+Leaching the Light is a potential OTK; players in my group dread the phrase "wanna see something cool?"

if these guys get support( they really should) then there is so much to work with pacific rim for damgae over time (eg a trespasser based kaiju)and quick effect(jaegers) ideas not to mention the amount of less well known toho monsters they could used if they wanted to make swarming peices for the deck( or just make a god teir monster for varan)

There is a funny interaction with remove brainwashing and skill drain, skill drain negates their "you can only control one kaiju" effect and remove brainwashing returns control of any kaiju you summon to yourself, this lets you clear an opponants entire board while putting over 8000 attack on your board for a silly(though inconsistent) otk option.

If you feel lucky enough, Kaiju and Unchained are a good combination. It is just a 3-card; Field spell, Kaiju Slumber, and any small Unchained combo to get Omni Gamiciel and steal 1 monster with Unchained link-2. But in more-normal build, I still use Unchained Kaiju for easy OTK access. Any small Unchained and Kaiju Slumber are enough for OTK because you can clear the board and summon lv. 8 Unchained & Kaiju, then you know what happened. If the strategy doesn't work because some negate or disruption, just play regular Unchained.

The continuous Trap, Remove Brainwashing, is pretty funny to use for Kaijus as well since u Tribute your opponents monster and they get nothing for it.

As another fun fact about Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju, it can even negate cards that target cards in the GY like Branded in Red.

would be cool if konami printed a card like malefic territory for kajus that allows you to control multiple kaijus at once.

10:52 I had an opponent use this on me while playing a Kaiju deck on Master Duel once. I can only imagine the look on their face when I used the omni-negate on them and they promptly surrendered.

I honestly wish Gamaciel summoned itself in defense, both to make immediate use of its stats as a wall, and to discourage its use as the "lol easy run over"

Ursarctic Kaiju is the deck im building and its a doozy of a deck. You might get some fat bricks but those are balanced by having on summon Floo effect type card with innate on special summon effects and big bosses to remove your opponent's monsters. Its a really fun time Also its your Pacific Rim dream. You'll see

Oh yay! I love this Archetype. It was really funny using it on Legacy of the Duelist.

My favorite Kaiju is Varan, the glorious gliding lizard of doom. I do wonder what he would do if he was brought into the game.

"hecking huge, the beefiest chungus"

You could add Remove Brainwashing in a pure Kaiju Deck to get your Kaiju back. It takes a turn, but locks your opponent out of a Card....

Radian is my favorite Kaiju, it has a cool design, neat effect, decent stats and as a Fiend can be used as a going second tool in Labrynth, and is easier to bring out with their field spell than Lava Golem if you want to push for game. Gameciel is easily the most busted one whether or not you use Kaiju Counters, but setting it up for negates can be tricky outside of Icejade shenanigans. Thunder King has the most meme potential out of all of them, and is probably my second favorite because it's usable for Leeching the Light shenanigans even if you have Kaiju Counters on the field(that targets so Jizukiru can negate it), and on your side is nutty for board wiping. Also I just realized the Mecha-Dogoran can be searched with Cyber Emergency which is hilarious, but you're probably better off using that to search a Cyber Dragon to fuse off Jizukiru with after tributing some other bungus.

I love Kumongus the spider kaiju for atk/def stats , earth and it fits quite well in my subterror control deck to deal with obnoxious bossmonsters.

another fun thing to do with Kaiju is to give them to your opponent, then use your normal summon on a KA-2 Des Scissors or Masked Chopper. hook up ya boi with a Moon Mirror Shield then smash face and burninate the countryside. as for Kaiju i'd like to see adapted into the archetype, Space Godzilla, Destroyah, Mogera, and Hedorah.

Love the “destroy all kaijus” callback to destroy all monsters!

I think it would be funny to have a space godzilla with a Neo-Spacian Dogoran. It likely wouldn't fit well in either archetype, but it would be really funny to see.

Kaijus is one of my favourite deck if you've never tried to play it it can be so fun

In the Dino FTK, Dogoran would be used as a DEP target, and with Geomathmech Magma to make Ultimul Bishbalkin. Also, Kumongous looking sus. (Ku-among-ous.)

Another funny fact about juzukiru effect It can also negate cards that target a card in the grave like a bystial

I have found that pairing kaijus with unchained can be pretty effective to solve the going first issues and removing the kaiju you give your opponent with their destruction effect or using the unchained soul effects I also slide in the mentioned alpha master of beasts.

I'm surprised kaiju colis- I mean Kaiser coliseum didn't get a mention for tech picks. it's like the most fair of any floodgates and totally fits flavor.

ive been using a Kaiju Albaz Deck in MD for a while now, and while I brick on a regular basis, when I don't, I pop off

Kaijus can be easily summed up to: no, we'll play with MY monsters. You get the bug, and I get the dinosaur

Crusadia really could use then well to buff equimax

Lmao that’s funny I was trying to remember the name of your guest ironic how these things play out

Kaiju Relinquished is one of my favourite pet decks. It's just so funny.

I have also recently realized the fun and irony of using super quant with kaiju

Another thing that it could be biulded around kaiju is mixing them with shaddolls. With shaddolls you actually have a use for the mecha tunder king, in order to make El shaddoll construct, and talking about her, she can instatle destroy any kaiju you gave to your opponent by battle with he effect, making it a really good form of removal, also by using kaijus and shaddoll you can convert any kaiju in your opponent field and your graveyard into the attribute needed for the fisions with shaddoll squism and super polymerization. Also, in this type of biuld, El shadddoll wendigo get's a use, since it can make gamecial be unable to be destroyed by battle by special summoned monsters, meaning any kaiju that's not dogoran will not be able to just destroy it by battle. Another funny thing i discovered with experience is that slumber together with Mecha-Thunder-King can soft-counter kashtira, since by giving it to your opponent via the spell, it cannot be destroyed by battle via a kaiju, it's level 9 (no Xyz), cannot change the battle position and need to declare an attack, they can't special summon one of the searchers that requires an empty field to do the plays.

I like to use cards like Fog King and Metamorphortress, so I can increse my field presence if am playing Kaijus.

To the "theres no on theme way to revive kaijus from the grave", remember Mecha Thunder King can revive itself from the grave if its sent to the grave .... that's about it though

I actually kinda like playing the pure Kaiju deck. I guess the real monster… was me.

The Kaiju deck mirror match is hopefully quite a spectacle.

I find it funny that Kaijus are meant to invoke 1v1 fights only to end up being monster removal. If I had a chance to redo it, there'll be penalties for not going 1v1.

I find it ironic that the kaiju based on mothra (who is kind of a supporter from what I’ve seen) is the one with the double edged sword

I’ve tried combining Kaiju’s with Malefic’s for the last couple years. The results are mixed

Been playing pure kaijus for a little bit now, and its doing surprisingly well against certain match ups. Using your opponents board is thrilling. But the downsides really are potent, as while you can sort of control a flow of battle on your own terms, if your opponent can some how rebuild after kaiju-ing their most important pieces, youre out of luck due to no board presence. The tech options listed are going to be invaluable for rebuilding.

I've been waiting for this video thank you

Could you imagine these monsters in the anime? Theyd be so huge! It would have been epic to see!

I would love it if they make a 4 or lower level set of kaiju support cards that are union monsters that give kaiju bonuses and set up turn one play. Like an airplane that could have an effect like "reveal this card and one kaiju in your hand: special summon this card to your opponent side of the field, and immediately after, summon the kaiju to your opponents side of the field by tributing this card." And you could have ones that can negate effects so the opponent can't use them, have ways of recycling, and etc so players can turn it into this fun little unga boonga archtype, but still have the core kaiju's as a way of removal outside of the deck. Like, imagine a reporter that a psychic type that special summons itself if both players control a kaiju, and when equipped, the monster has an honest like effect only when attacking kaiju's. The fun and enjoyment of that would be awesome!

I love how he used kaiju as a verb in “kaijuing”

Found your channel recently,love Ur work , suggestion for a video DDD and cyber dragon:)

So fun fact, I just picked up 3 of (most) of all the cards for Kaijus from a Friend a few weeks back (he only had 1 turtle Kaiju unfortunately) Our main thing we plan on doing is setting up role play decks using real decks for the story Right now it's Kaiju vs Dangers, with me taking Kaiju and him taking Dangers

Moai of Knowledge would fit in Chronomaly video

Wait why wasnt moaio in chronomaly explained he seems a litle of brand here

Hey with the new dino cards coming out and similar to the trains explained vid, Dino's Explained?

Great video!

im trying out using kaiju mons, so far its fun and here is what i find 1 way to get arround the summoning issue is to have skill drain and remove brain was or owners seal, that way you can tribute as much as you can and theyll bounce over to your side

Hey are we getting the final Albaz Story ep soon!? Really keen to see it! Love the lore vids

Walked up to dual a man the realize we're both playing Kaiju decks took 10 turns to finally get something on the field besides spell and traps

Can you talk about cloudians?

I run a pure Kaiju deck in Master Duel, using them as Xyz material for high rank Xyz, using Gagaga Magician, Psi-Reflector, and Night Express Knight as the pairs for overlays. Jizukiru and Night Express make Gustav Max and Juggernaut Liebe, while Dogaran clears the board so I can attack for game.

I wonder when we’ll get a Kaiju based on King Kong.

An Archetype works well with Kaijus is Crusadia

If we really want an actual anti-kaiju monster, we need one that can more easily summon itself. Maybe Mecha Gamaciel could summon itself by discarding a Kaiju. The name alone would act as anti-kaiju protection.

nice boss monster you've got there it is now tortl

Shout out to gadarla being the best answer to Barrier statue of the stormwinds

"K-UMONG-O-US" *Sus music plays in background*

Technically Neos is also a reference to classic ultraman, while its different combination forms are reference to modern ultraman

Btw Gamera is not a Godzilla-related monster; it's its own separate franchise from Godzilla, not just Ultraman/Radian.

GiGANG, RISE!!! 🐔

The clip at 10:47 has me in tears 🤣

i play a kaiju deck and has gotten me to diamond a few times. really fun when you go second and they just surrender when you set sangan and drop kaiju rising on em

"That hurt" 10:50

Its not a kaiju card but theres a trap that returns cards to their owners as a continuous effect. Free renoval if your willing to add it in(or maybe it was a spell but i believe owners seal was a different card).

Kaiju is oops all boss monsters

I just realized Base Thunder King is just Number C107

5:05 Sus spider 🕷

Kaijus is a good standalone deck... except in mirror matchs.

Still waiting on the King Kong, Anguirus, Rodan and Destoroyah Kaijus.

Really wish they'd add more cards, Rodan, King Kong, Destroyah and more spell and trap cards.

I love gamaciel in UMI control. It’s just hilarious to hit my opponent with that card or better yet giving them mothra then locking them out of non waters is infinitely funny

Godzilla based cards are always amazing.

Mecha-Thunder-King's weird, at first glance it reads pretty good but then every part of it starts falling apart on closer inspection. It's "Anti-Kaiju" so it's immune to "Kaiju" cards and is basically a handtrap that summons ~something~, maybe itself, in response to your opponent playing a kaiju. But that effect only works if the opponent is actually playing "Kaiju" monsters of their own, which is far from reliable beyond format predictions, and you actually need it in hand at the same time your opponent's using "Kaiju" monsters. The Battle & effect protection seems good until considering it's still vulnerable to everything that doesn't have "Kaiju" in the name, and the reduced ATK actually matters here because while it cannot be destroyed by battle with a "Kaiju" it also doesn't have the ATK to beat any of them either except for the weakest one, and unlike Mecha-Dogoran it doesn't even have a way to gain ATK to compensate for this. It doesn't have an actual removal effect either or even one that forces a monster to change battle position, so it can only stalemate enemy Kaijus but it can't beat them until you start using other cards like equip spells to support it. The effect to only allow control of 1 "Kaiju" does at least provide a form of protection since it prevents itself & anything else you control from being tributed to summon another "Kaiju" by your opponent, though it also allows them to summon a "Kaiju" to their own field for free. It's also not "cannot be tributed" which means it can still be used for Ball and such; This actually matters somewhat considering the benefit is keeping your other monsters from being tributed for "Kaiju", since it's also providing the second body needed for a Lava Golem. So it's good for is stalling against Kaijus, but it can't actually beat them w/out support, and also it'll die without resistance to any moderately beefy non-"Kaiju" monsters or removal effects. It's functionally protection from being kaiju'd for you field, but only after something on it was already kaiju'd, and it can still be tributed meaning it can be outed by other kaiju-like monsters, and those typically require more than 1 tribute, so summoning this might protect your Towers from "Kaiju" but it also makes it vulnerable to Golem; Hilariously it's also a Machine-Type so even Chimeratech Fortess can out it.

The history lesson on how Yugioh turned into rocket tag such that it became, "if you don't win on turn two you're doing it wrong," is depressing. And I remember how it used to be. I was there for the OG generation of the game.

I still love darkest diabolos a card in a deck focused on tributing the oppenents card, is Kaiju immune

Kaiju + albaz is good. Kaiju + crusadia is also good. They are my favorite cute pet.

My mans didn't mention the Remove Brainwashing + Skill Drain combo. it saddens me to see how little people respect the funny techs.

YES! FINALLY

Radian's cloning ability makes me think it's based off of Alien Baltan from Ultraman, though its design just gives me general "Alien from Ultraman" vibes.

To make this a proper archetype we could give it some main deck level 4s couple new field spells and continuous spells and traps all about gathering and distributing Kaiju counters to summon kaijus from the main deck and maybe extra deck.

They got me to gold with graydles.

You know I lowkey want an Attack on Titans reference for this deck

I honestly wouldn’t even mind the whole “you can only control 1 Kaiju” restriction Yes it’s dumb, and yes there’s a mile long list of things other decks can do that are more busted than that, but fine, whatever My problem with Kaiju’s comes when your opponent gets rewarded for not being prepared for the matchup I took the time to build the Kaiju deck and plan out synergy with the cards, yet *both of us* get to benefit by being able to use the field spell and access effects by removing counters? Nah that’s just garbage, straight up bullshit Deleted my entire Kaiju deck after my opponent negated Dogoran using Gamaciel

I believe Jizukiru is actually based off of Legion from Gamera. If it was based off of Gigan it'd have similar designs to Gigan, and he wouldn't have stronger stats than King Ghidorah, who is canonically the strongest monster Godzilla has ever faced in most showings.

One of the most awesome archetypes

I can't wait to play Kaiju/Mikanko!

cumamongus the sticky kaiju

I'd like to think that if these cards got to be in the anime the monsters would make the same noises as the kaiju they're based on.

4:13 Minor wording complaint: "1) You can be gifted to _your Opponent_ by Tributing one of their Monsters." It isn't the Kaiju's Opponent though.
