Fun Fact: Effect damage is often called as "burn damage" and Oracle King d'Arc can turn them in Life Points, wich is ironic since Joan was... Burned alive
Some additional trivia: Beowulf letting you pop backrow is a reference to how he would destroy every weapon that he wielded due to his immense strength. The intent of the effect in gameplay was to give a means of popping Dark Contracts if the burn damage they'd inflict was too significant which is similar to Beowulf's style of "use a weapon then it breaks." Pendragon might be more based on Uther Pendragon, Arthur's father, who is associated with the red dragon of Wales which while the monster is black it does have red in its palette and the overall shape is kinda similar to the Welsh dragon. The summoning requirement being sacrificing monsters seems more like a reference to Uther's rise to power as well. It might just be named after Arthur because he's more famous but the name is vague enough to make its art and effect seem more fitting for the darker story of Uther. D'arc also has the same summoning type, statline and level as St. Joan as an additional reference. And haircut. And choosing Jeanne d'Arc might be loosely referencing the interpretation of her as a witch that many English (including Shakespeare) largely supported. Darius' battle protection is a reference to the Persian Immortals. Caesar's WATER type and his recovery effects might also be a slight reference to the time he was captured by pirates, and while he was under their capture he promised he'd crucify them when he was let out. He did. Also something neat is that even though Japanese uses the accurate hard-C "Kaiser" pronunciation when referring to Julius Caesar, the Xyz monster in D/D/D uses the English "See-sar" pronunciation which might also be a reference to him being a WATER.
Also D'Arc healing you instead of buring you for damage has to be a reference to being the protector of France, and she protects you from your own burn effects
@@palsprinting I always also had this idea that since D'Arc's an "oracle king" the reason for why you don't take the contract damage while she's on the field is to allude to the idea of her "councilling" you, similar to how an actual Oracle would work
One thing that you may have missed: most of the "minor" D/D monsters are either harbingers of death/disaster, or in other ways connected to horrific historical or mythological events. Several of them are also servants/children of gods that would stand no chance against the world enders at the top, implying that the D/D/D top ranks already defeated the higher deities and took over their servants, possibly through the Dark Contracts. This would fit both into the mythological side, as well as the company motif in the OCG, portraying them as shrewd business leaders who destroy their "rival companies" (in this case, pantheons) and adopt the remaining servants as slaves. They basically attempt to control history, and forcefully tie characters to their fates - for example, Jeanne D'arc was burned at the stake as a witch, she was "demonized" by the church, but held onto her faith until the end. It's surprisingly deep.
@@manuelfromgarlick3337that’s just the DDDs hiring spies to capture an enemy they take interest in and maybe even convert them into an employee if valuable enough. D.Ds are probably akin to outsourced contractors. In the same league of business, but not the same company
I think Machinex's alternative summoning condition is also a reference to the Deus Ex Machina, as you can conveniently summon machinex on top of any D/D/D monster and therby cercumvent the xyz summoning requirements
One extra thing worth mentioning about Oracle King D'arc is that it's a dark counterpart to the old fusion monster St. Joan. Both are fusion monsters, they have the same ATK and DEF stats, and even the armor and sword is really similar. But D'arc is the DARK and corrupted version of the LIGHT and pure St. Joan.
Noble Knight Joan -> Pennant of Revolution -> Liberty at Last -> For Our Dreams (where she dies) -> Darklord Marie Here the timeline branches off. Either she gets redeemed by The Forgiving Maiden and becomes St Joan to Guardian Angel Joan, or she falls even further and becomes D/D/D Oracle King d’Arc.
@@nedrostram2360 ddd are basically dark world but as a company and wandering in dimension. Dark world lore wise are more gentler than lightsworn themselves.
@@timothyskidmore1554 That's also how other languages call him. Germans, for example, call him Dschingis Khan, where the dsch sounds like the soft g in English.
There's also the manga D/D/D monsters: Zero Laplace and Zero Maxwell are named after Pierre-Simon Laplace and James Clerk Maxwell, Zero Paradox is based on the concept of a paradox, and Divine Zero King Rage is the Yugioh-lore-based one as its name and appearance is based on Reiji (Declan's Japanese name)
Zero Maxwell and Zero Laplace are probably not referring to the scientists, but the two Demon in physics: Laplace's Demon and Maxwell's Demon. It is more obvious with Zero Laplace, with its title being given as "Destiny King", as Laplace's Demon refers to the idea of causality and determinism in physics. By knowing all properties of all particles in this instance, you can know all future and past properties of all things, as in their "destiny". I am not quite sure about Zero Maxwell title "Supersight", or why it looks like a rip-off Barrel Dragon. Maxwell's Demon is about a Demon having perfect knowledge of the two room at equilibrium state can reverse the entropy by closing and opening a gate between them, violating the second law of thermodynamics. I guess that somewhat relates to super sight, but that's all I get from it.
Firstly, awesome video. Secondly something that I would like to note about Deus Machinex that you didn't mention is that he can be summoned using any D/D/D monster, even if they're not XYZ. This lines up with a Deus ex Machina since he can come out of nowhere at any time when you need him. Edit: also what I just realised is that D'arc turns every effect damage into LP gain instead, showing the divine knowledge she has. This way every supposed defeat is transformed into a win through her abilities.
One more thing to note about Oracle King D’arc. She shares her level, ATK, and DEF values with two other monsters based on Joan of Arc: St. Joan and Guardian Angel Joan. All three are level 7 monsters with 2800 ATK and 2000 DEF. Also, all three are able to gain you LP in some way. Saint Joan requires Darklord Marie as fusion material, and Marie restores LP while in the GY. Guardian Angel Joan restores your LP each time she destroys a monster in battle. And Oracle King D’arc makes effects that would damage your LP heal you for that amount instead.
@@scourgemeltfaceI think he didn't meant combo creativity, but he instead referenced the design decisions that go behind each archetype. Nowadays, Yugioh covers a lot of different design concepts for specific decks,while in the early years most monsters seemed too restricted to their own type stereotypes in the design aspect.
@@scourgemeltface The reason why archetype exist is to differ Yugioh from MGT. I disagree that Archetypes doesn't allow or limit creativity, old days decks are bunch of staples mashed up together. You can see it on goat format tournament, most uses the same cards and type of plays (mostly control) unlike archetypes. Modern decks allow greater creativity like 60 card zefra pile deck that consist of 3+ more archetype (Zefra, Pend Magician, Symphonic, D/D/D) or even Fusion pile deck (Tearlament + Invoke + Branded + Shaddol)
@@scourgemeltface Except it didn't because all people would do is use the same cards because the vast majority of normal monsters were terrible outside of an handful, same thing for magic and trap cards. So there was a ton of overlap between decks.
I love how the D/Ds reference science and history. If they weren't so excessively complex, I would so play them! And to be fair, in mythology, Gilgamesh was also known for carrying an unusually large amount of weapons when he went to kill the monster Humbaba, including a sword and axe that each weighed 120 lbs. (Which is insane when you realize that on average swords rarely weigh more than 10 lbs.)
DDDs are easy to play, but hard to master. the fact that they have so many plays means that, ignoring the opponent, you can just do whatever and still end up with some sort of board. Repetition is really the only real way to master them, outside of watching youtube vids of their strong "meta" plays

I NEVER LOOKED AT THE COPERNICUS AND KEPLER ART THAT CLOSELY THAT'S SO COOL! Holy shit these designs have way more thought behind them than I thought, especially the savants, I thought they were just weird big rock creatures with no meaning lol!
As a fellow D/D/D enjoyer, I really want to thank you for making this video. Loved how you explained each D/D/D card and their origins. Truly a feast to watch! I Love D/D/D. Keep up the good content.
Two more things about Machinex. His summoning condition of being able to be overlayed on to any D/D/D is most likely a reference to his name, considering he can just hit the field out of nowhere. And his steal effect can also be activated by destroying contracts, this can either be seen as him being the head of a company, cutting contacts to make ends meet. Or the author disregarding his script to make this god out of the machine pull off some amazing feats.
Hear me out: Yuya is all about egao and shit but is also a dragon user, and his rival is Reiji (Declan, in the dub), who is the D/D user in Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V. That is to say, some of Reiji's extra deck monsters being based on dragon slayers might actualy be related with Yuya's rivalry towards Reiji (which I dare to say, was not reciprocrated by Reiji, since Yuya saw him as "the one to be bested" but Reiji himself didn't seem to think of Yuya that way, and was more interested in leading Yuya and the others to defeat Leo and the Academia, as well as he pushed Yuya and the others to be stronger)
@@mfznal-hafidz8592 yes, because in this specific case his deck motif was more business/kingdom-centered, and he was not actually a rival in the same exact manner Kaiba/Chazz/Jack/Kaito/Revolver(Varis) were. He didn't see Yuya as his rival, he saw Yuya more like his "secret weapon/ace" against Academia and was willing to make Yuya grow up. In some aspects, he reminds me more of Aster Phoenix, being the one who taught the protagonist something through defeat.
To be more specific about the Multiple Gilgamesh in Fate. Is not really that there are multiple Gilgameshes in that universe. But it's the same Gilgamesh in different stages of his life being summoned. Eg: The Gilgamesh with turban hat thing is an older more mature version of the one in the golden armor. Which version shows up depends on the manga/anime/game.
6:58 There's yet *another* card that references Schrodinger's cat theory; the Trap Monster Quantum Cat, which has the ability to take on the type and attribute of any monster in the game. It's not a great card by any means, but if you ever wanted a Divine Fish or Fire Illusion, there you go.
Was an absolute blast playing Swamp Thing/Quantum Cat in Duel Links in Trap Monster Odion decks, calling DARK Machine when your opponent tries to destroy your Spell/Trap cards to summon a sudden Desperado Barrel Dragon out of your hand - which also worked well with Ally of Justice Quarantine being included as an anti-LIGHT floodgate in a deck that doesn't really use its Normal Summon or have Spell/Trap Zone space for a floodgate.
Super doom king purple Armageddon also looks like it fuses 5Ds villains and zexals villains with duel monsters and gx villains. The white and yellow color scheme and circular shape in the middle matches the mekklords archetype from 5Ds and the wings on the bottom seem to be similar to the wings on the black ray lancer/levia dragon (something name escapes me) that shark/barian emperor used in the beginning and end of zexal. I'm glad you pointed out the duel monsters and gx references. I never would have seen that on my own. Thank you. Your videos are always so cool and interesting.
To add to what you said towards the end about Caesar: Not only the German word Kaiser stems from Caesar, also the word "Tzar" does, the Russian rulers before the 20th century. The Russian pronunciation "Czar" is just Caesar without the initial diphthong.
Interesting. I had heard that the Russian Tzar was actually the Russian version of the name Karl, Frankish ruler who became famous as Charlemagne in the west. Apparently that's the etymology of most terms for kings around the area as the Frankish monarch left a really big mark on history (Like everyone starting to call themselves the new Rome even though the Eastern Romans were like a few regions South, although that wasn't his fault). I really want a DDD inspired by Emperor Nero though, mostly because I want to see the Fate fans appear and start playing Yu-Gi-Oh because half their favorites are in the archetype.
What's funny about Gilgamesh depction in Final Fantasy is that he is Gilgamesh only in name. His design takes inspiration from Musashibou Benkei, a monk who challenged any warrior at a bridge I forgot the name for a duel and claimed the loser's weapon as his own, and after winning 99 battles, he was defeated by Ushiwakamaru, a.k.a. young Minamoto no Yoshitsune and after a rematch and losing again, Benkei became a follower of Yoshitsune.
That's the YuGiOh card that is based on Benkei, Final Fantasy version of Gilgamesh is based on him as well, that's why his gimmick in the games he appear is hunting legendary swords.
You are right that is how your supposed to say Double D for D/D and triple D for the D/D/D ones (I have no idea how to say the new D/D/D/D monster) and the D.D. are for the monsters that travel the different dimension
He says Double D and Triple D in English dub, while in the original (Japanese dub) he says DD and DDD. They also don't have slash / in their name in original and OCG. I guess TCG added it for the archetype to not be confused with D.D., since they are not related
A couple thoughts I had while watching; Gilgamesh's Pendulum Scale Setting Effect on Summon and his floating effect may also be references to the hoards of weapons and tools he has. While being a fiend Joan of Arc's less fiendish nature is reflected in the fact that she goes against the decks self inflicted burn effects by having them heal you instead. Stone King Darius being a more bureaucratic figure could be a reference to the fact that in the anime, Reiji summoned it when he was dueling against his little brother as a means to resolve the conflict between them. This one might be a stretch, but Deus Machinex's effect to absorb monsters could be based on his President title where he would oversee the absorption of rival companies.
as an extra detail, Rebel King Leonidas' shield is specifically a Hoplon, the standard shield in ancient greek infantry warfare, which the Spartans were notoriously excelent at. Additonally, Alexader (both gust king and gust high king) have the same ability to special from grave on the summon of another D/D/D as Genghis, which is reminiscent of him corralling his huge army (another thing he's known for in the Fate franchise as his representation has the power to call on an nfinite army). With Genghis having the same effect, likely equating these two leaders who conquered immense swathes of land within their lifetime with enormous armies, also mirrored in both Genghis and Alexander being Executives in their OCG names. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to notice any mechanical representation of the fact that both Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great's empires shattered upon their deaths, the Mongol empire being split among Genghis' many sons and Alexander's empire being split among his generals.
Fun Fact: Doom King Armageddon's name comes from "Death King" or "Shi-i-Oh". Oddly enough, Shi-i-Oh sounds exactly like CEO and thus, the office hierarchy present in the D/D/D archetype was born. Unrelated but, it's just so funny to me, thinking about these unholy creatures of darkness, sitting in an office, drinking coffee and having a chat.
Gotta love how complex and gorgeous this deck is. I was kinda expecting you to also mention D/D/D Destiny King Zero Laplace and its peculiar effects, but I understand there’s so many more cards to the archetype, especially now with the D/D/D/D as well
Don't forget super doom king dark armageddon is actually coming out of the gate itself. Similar to how when number 1 attacks, the gates of 1 open to reveal a Monsterus beast that will attack.
Mr. Logs never misses when delivering this kind of videos of him talking about the lore of the cards. Kinda wish he was my history teacher. Anyway, how about we see the Generaider and Runick lore next? I wanna see how you tackle the 9 worlds of Norse mythology as well as the boss monsters representing some of the most well-known divinities of said mythology.
D/D/D is by far my favorite deck, not just because i love the playstyle, but also because its always fun to see the countless mythical, historical and scientifical references weaving together to form the combos. It somewhat appeals to my inner history nerd. P.S: Another good idea for an episode of The Unknown Side would be Chronomaly since the archetype is rife with historical monuments and theories as it's main theme, would make a good deck to analyze through this kind of viewpoint!
You did miss one in the scientist section, though this isn't entirely your fault: D/D/D Supersight King Zero Maxwell is a reference to James Clerk Maxwell, the inventor of electromagnetic radiation. Only Konami knows why he's not a D/D Savant.
I know it wasn't a historical reference or anything but I wish you touched on Go-DDD Divine Zero King Zero God Reiji. While all the other DDDs are based on scientific minds, great leaders, and even past Yugioh final villains it was interesting there was one that's just based on the deck user Reiji himself. It could have lead into a segment about how it has the ability to manipulate space to contrast with God-Eyes Phantom Dragon's ability to manipulate time. While this isn't really on topic with the video, I think it still would have been an interesting little tangent.
They missed a good chance to have an additional reference on Newton; the balls are already various colors on the card anyway, so they could have been in correct spectrum order and been a reference to his discovery of the spectrum.
How about "Top 10 Cards that would be broken in other Archetypes, ie. cards like Ojama Red (Summons 4 archetype monsters with no restrictions) or Snake Rain (Discard to foolish 4 cards from deck also with no restrictions).
Bloom Harmonist the Melodious Composer, a Link 2 that summons two in archetype monsters from deck and only type locks, not even archetypes locks It also doesn't meaningfully restrict the summons (Two different levels, but no cap or minimum)
Thank you so much for making this video. I love the D/D/D and D/D archetype. It's one of my absolute favorite decks in the entire game because of how fun it is to play, all of the summoning methods it has, and how consistent it is as a whole.
Siegfried also gained a similar kind of invulnerability to Achillies after bathing in the blood of a lindwurm. All skin the blood touches became impenetrable, but a leaf fell on his shoulder blade leaving that spot unprotected.
The element of Gilgamesh being depicted with weapons goes back to part of the epic of Gilgamesh where the local warlords and kings basically laid down their weapons at Gilgamesh's throne to show their loyalty to him
I would absolutely love a link 3 High King Gligamesh, wether or not he has a strong effect of boss monster and just another extender, it would really matter cause you are still gonna leave him on the field
Historical figures working in a highly byzantine and capitalist company while making and destroying contracts with demons is the slice of life comedy anime we need.
Would love to hear you cover Ancient Warriors too! I’ve been playing this deck since I discovered it, and love all the references to Romance of Three Kingdoms. It really makes it really special!
pleaseeeeeee, make a similar video, but about shinobirds, japanese mythology spirit-inspired monsters in general... Kushitama is on its way, to complete the mitama quartet with ara, niki and sakitama. I just love that eastern lore. Your channel is amazing!
I think you missed the manga D/D/Ds Zero King Laplace based on Pierre-Simon Laplace, Zero Maxwell based on James Clerk Maxwell, and Go D/D/D Divine Zero King Rage, based on Declan himself (his jp name is Reiji which is how Rage is written in katakana) Rage being a 0 scale allows for a majority of his monsters to be pendulum summon, and its monster effect is a game-winning direct attack, making it essentially the most powerful ddd monster
It's getting to the point of being easier to write a list of who hasn't been in the Fate series. Tons of yet to be summonable people have still been name dropped, or possessed similar servant bodies, or just appeared with generic character art/ghost form
11:28 As a fan of the Fate series I feel the need to explain just how much of an understatement “Fate Gilgamesh has a lot of weapons” is. His main Noble Phantasm (something closely tied with his legend) is a key to “Gate of Babylon” and gives him access to everything in his treasury… which is almost literally everything. From the Elixir of Youth he lost in life to the prototypes of all but the most secret of legendary artifacts to the ship Ra uses on the Du’at turned into a *freaking plane.* And because things in the series gain power the older they are that means these things are superior to the ones in legend. From Durandal to Gram he has a stronger version of pretty much *every* legendary weapon. Oh yeah, he fights by using the key to make several portals to his treasury that shoot these weapons like common bullets. Because to him these weapons are easier to find than it’d be for you to find a single bullet. This is absolutely as broken as it sounds. There’s a reason he’s one of the strongest characters in the series. Even though Gil debuted in Fate/Stay Night (the first work in the series) and most of the cast (including KING ARTHUR) has been powercreeped since its January 2004 release he’s still completely broken. Because the more stuff shows up in the series the more Gilgamesh has in his treasury.
It's too bad they didn't know what edison was when making the card (mainly stealing other people's ideas and passing them off as his own) and found someone worthy of being referenced in a card. The drawing they used should have had a hidden back stab image to properly capture him as a person.
Top 10 non-union archetypes that put their monsters in the back row (not counting pendulum scales). Artifacts, Crystal Beasts, V-HEROs, Icejade, and Felgrand. Bonus points for "union but better" type effects like Dragunity, Magistus, Superheavy Samurai, Cyberdark, Destruction Sword, Inzektors, Infernoble Knights, Marincess, the Claw of Hermos fusions, Therion, Plunder Patroll, Vylon, and ZW's
I also want to point out that machinex's summoning condition is a deus ex machina. It comes out of nowhere and fixes everything forthr ddd player once it hits the field
A lot of the deck made sense thematically if a bit wide in scope. The Armageddon shield like ones were the most out there. I was much more impressed by the ones named after a historical figure.
D/D/D is the archetype that changed my mind about pendulum summoning. The deck didn’t NEED to us PS to be good, but doing so could enhance its combos. Also, Declan was awesome.
First of, cool video. The D/D/D Archetype quickly became one of my favorites after watching the anime and getting to play around with it in Master Duel. That may be due to the fact I enjoy watching the Fate series. Secondly, I'm not sure where this one would fit in but it's a shame you didn't get to talk about this bad boy, the newcomer in the Archetype, D/D/D/D Super-Dimensional Sovereign Emperor Zero Paradox.
The servants in Fate/Stay night are all the same person. They are an amalgamation of a certain legend or great historical feat. (For the most part) And each incarnation is essentially a magic ghost clone of said person. With knowledge of both their original life and relevant modern day knowledge magically implanted into their brains during summoning. (With exceptions.)
@@charziz6693 Considering how Napeoleon turned out as a servant. Then yes. The exception i know of are Artoria and the EMIYA's who sold their souls to the world. Voyager, who is the actual space probe Voyager that somehow turned into a Shota boy. The Ishtar and Eresgikal who take their forms and personality traits from Rin. Muramasa, Kama, and Pravti also fall here. Paul Bunyan which was a joke made canon. Erica Utsumi who is the demigoddess child of a mage and Izanami. Shiki, Walter, and the other girl were just dragged along for the ride. The Prisma Illya girls are servant clones of the originals. Did i forget anyone else?
@@balmung7599 Hey I read comics so I can empathize with that. I didn't know about the chart but, frankly, that you need a chart is exactly what I was getting at lol. Most of the time even with comics you usually get a "start at this issue, read till this issue" even if surrounding lore is absurdly complex.
@@TwoToneShoes And that's without getting into Tsukihime, Angel Notes, The fact that every timeline and ship is canon in some way or another. The gag manga considering that Okita, Nobunaga, and Bunyan all originally came from that and became canon to the lore. And how each series is connected in some way or form. Even in EXTRA the world where everyone is a Netnavi has lore bits that become important later down the line.
I would absolutely love to hear you cover the Noble Knights cards (especially if you can find someone who can tell you how to pronounce all the Welsh names).
11:37 the two versions of Gilgamesh is just him at 2 different points of his life. One worked through a traumatic event and became a good king, the other one hasn't gotten any trauma
Some D/D cards are also references to other yugioh cards, like Oracle King to St. Joan, Berformet or the Dark Contracts with the Swamp King and Yamimakai. Reiji got a D/D card of itself in Go D/D/D Divine Zero King Rage. In general, that was only like half of the archtype, I would really like a part 2. There are definitely enough other references for cards like Lamia, Lilith or Laplace. Or what about Proud Ogre and Proud Chevalier? And the anime got even more cards....
Yu-Gi-Oh teaches you history with the whole egyptian thing and the D/D archetype, math, reading, creativity, and art. it taught me more than school ever did which is funny.
Awesome video, I love this archetype and to make it 25 minutes must have taken some work. Thank You and looking forward to seeing a little more love for these monsters.
You skipped/forgot D/D/D something something King LaPlace. It pertains to a concept in mathematics that I don't know much about, but it should have had an honorable mention at the very least. Not to mention other D/D cards of probably minor interest that also have quite a bit of lore behind, if not interactions with each other. Soooo, D/D follow up video sometime later? Eventually? Maybe? Hopefully? Also, Dark Contracts and other backrow for good measure? Possibly? D/D/D is my favorite archetype, by the way. 😅 Would love to watch more!🥰
One other info of note about Oracle King d'Arc: that "d'Arc" is pronounced like "Dark", matching its attribute. It's also worth noting that it's the only Saint Joan monster without that title and it's the only non-light Saint Joan monster.
thats actually so cool and now i want to learn D/D/D and even try it as a deck. despite its a pend deck and have almost no interests in pends. i dont find them fun/interesting in general, but this has increase my intrest in some form of a pend deck haha that being said, i wouldnt mind more pend decks as this form of content, maybe Vaylantz?
Its a hard deck to learn, the mega flowchart is real and you must treat it as a bible or adapt it to make your own combos or fit with your variant of the deck. D/D/D aren't really a pend deck in the same way others are. Theyre more of a "use every damn summoning mechanic in the game to our advantage" sorta deck. The occasional pend summon is a means to an end in D/D as you make xyz, synchro, fusion, links, etc. Theyre very fun if you get satisfaction from comboing because all the unique summoning mechanics all coming together in one turn feels great
The only D/D/D I accept is the fat penguin king who fights a pink puffball on a star-shaped planet. And D/D is the silly older sister who wrecks her scientist younger brother's lab all the time.
I take D/D/D as that show with Guy Fieri where he visits restaurants. And D/D is the smarty fellow with a sock on his head who’s also one of the Eds. The silly older sister has more in common with a much older theme focused around the banish zone.
First very good video and second you explain everything for the D/D/D monsters except two monsters. The first one is D/D/D Divine Zero King Rage which is a clear reference to the owner of the deck Reji Akaba and the second one is D/D/D/D Super-Dimensional Sovereign Emperor Zero Paradox. I dont know the reference for him but i think the forth D (which he is the only monster with four Ds ) maybe it means Deity and maybe he is in higher position than the D/D/D Doom King Armagedoon but this is just my toughts. P. S. Sorry if i write anythying wrong just my english is not very good. P. S. My bad, you missed and D/D/D Destiny King Zero Laplace.
