Buster Blader: I'm going to take this infant creature with me on my mass slaughter quests and train it to wield weapons made from the carcasses of others. What could possibly go wrong? Buster Dragon: *becomes a bloodthirsty monster* Buster Blader: *surprised Pikachu face*
I always wanted this to happen. As a i kid i always had my own head canon for the cards and imagined how a yugioh world only with the monsters would be like.
There is actually a continuation to this story, a new link monster came out called Companion Whelp of Destruction Swordsman and it shows the welp glowing on Buster Blader's shoulder. The japanese name is Guardian Bonded Dragon of the Destruction Swordsman, meaning it could be the spirit of the Whelp after Buster Blader fused with it. Its back to being a light type and the Buster Blader in the picture with it looks distinctly like the Fusion Dragon Destroyer Swordsman
@@mambanuggets3039 It's not the fusion buster blader monster, because his collar is white not black. Take a look at the card on google, find a large resolution and you'll see he's not clad in black and gold but in white, blue and gold frame. So it's not a continuation of the story in my opinion
@@omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom3831 Looking at the card that doesn't seem right, as Buster has white along with his purple and gold trim, akin to that of Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman.
Yes the dragons soul lived on within him. You can also tell it's fused buster blader because the red gems on his sword when his regular form they are green blue. It's actually kinda crazy how much lore they add into these card arts and the put so many hidden details as he looks normal from that obscure angle but the red gem stones give it away which is something they put there on purpose for people to notice.
Gaia The Fierce Knight is most likely Atem's own Ka from his own Ba. BLS is the fusion of Ka with Atem, as how Dark Magician is when Maahad fuse completely with his Ka, the Illusion Magician. This is hinted at throughout the anime and recent archetypes support released for the 20th franchise campaign
That’s very sad, he only realised his mistake when it was too late, after this, I doubt he’d recover instantly, he’ll see dragons not as pests but as creatures that can still be saved if nurtured properly & it would be better to have a dragon as a friend then as an enemy. Dragons in the west are believed to be evil & must be slain but in the east, they are beloved, friends & teachers, it all depends on how you approach them 🐉
Very nice Story! I often ask myself what the connection between Buster Blader and Dark Magician is. They have a fusion and if you look at their clothes it looks very similar in my opinion. When you look at their necks.😁
I've actually been looking for a video like this for months, someone who tries to make sense of the story that is being told in the buster blader cards. Thank you alot, I really love the way you interpreted this story. It makes sense and you picked up on some things that I completly missed when I tried to make sense out of it on my own.
I think one of the reasons that caused whelp's transformation was probably the very essence of the souls and remains of the dead beings used to make the weapons
His story parallels how I felt about monster Hunter when I first got into the series. Day one: boy I love killing monsters Day 10: I'm starting to feel bad about killing... Day 30: dude have you seen this armor tho? I got it from wiping out entire species!! Look at these stats! I am totally one-hundred-percent chamelos!
Yes I’m that guy that reply’s to old comments but in MH there used to be a monster known as Monoblos that was hunted for the glory of slaying it. Seeing as it no longer shows up in games as the other older monsters the theory is that it was hunted to extinction by those who wanted glory over balance of nature.
Dark Magician, Dark Paladin, and Buster Blader were the cards that got me into Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm surprised that their relationship wasn't touched on. I know a lot of cards have multiple paths or alternate storylines. But I always felt that the dark Paladin route was special.
Wowww. Okay, this was a good story. Buster Blader's intentions were good, but in pursuit of finding his own fighting companion in the dragon, he failed to see how the process would affect the dragon itself. He eventually had to fight it to quell its destructive spirit. As a remorseful sign of mercy, he obtained the essence of his friend to stay with him forever. What a noble story, I like the buster blader.
To be honest Whelp is probably corrupted by a sad mix of wanting more power to make Buster blader proud. Whelp probably had a destructive nature by default but with Buster Blader killing their mom he became their friend/mentor and maybe even a father figure. Whelp wanted to gain power to help Buster Blader, more power made better able to protect Buster Blader. The problem was all Whelp knew was slaying monsters, a desire for gaining power, a undiluted destructive nature, possibly thinking Whelp was next on the chopping block with all the other dragons they destroyed and nativity sowed the seeds of Whelp's tragic downfall. Whelp gave up too much and was overwhelmed by the darkness being used more like a weapon, they had taken their lessons to their natural conclusion. They had become strong but lost their way. During the fight I think thanks to Buster Blader trying to save them they finally able to get through to Whelp probably had a moment of clarity from the corruption during the fight and had to save their friend Buster Blader. Even from themselves so probably threw the fight at the end by not dodging the last blow. They slay monsters and Whelp had become one not wanting destroy the closest thing Whelp had to family they broke free of the corruption it was too late. Whelp just wanted to make Buster Blader proud and messed everything up instead. Despite all that Whelp did love Buster Blader forgiving him and binding themselves to their new weapon so Whelp can help protect Buster Blader. One last time. Whelp was pretty much had no chance because of a lack of guidance to become something other than a weapon and a instinct they didn't have another way to channel other than fighting. A dark mirror of how Buster Blader's path could have ended. One part atonement, guilt and forgiveness and love. Probably Whelp's sacrifice or tragedy probably saved Buster Blader from such a path.
I imagine his merger with Dark Magician was a temporary one, probably all taking place before this. They merged to take on a powerful dragon then separated once the task was complete with Dark Magician training his students and protecting his master while Buster Blader went on to kill his creation.
7:41 he did mention that BB crafted 3 swords, one that stood out is the sword to slay wizards, could it be there was a point where BB ended up battling DM??
Great stuff here. I think the most satisfying part of these videos is finding out that the cards we have known about and having been using for so long have so much meaning behind them It's something only a series like this can accomplish
Buster Blader was always my favorite card growing up, when I was little it was my signature card in all the decks I had (my Dark Magician if you will) and it was just SUPER RAD learning all this new stuff about him. I'd love to see one on the lore of Summoned Skull. Keep up the awesome work!
Hey man I just wanted to let you know that these lore videos are brilliant, unique, and something that I as an OG Yugioh fan have ALWAYS wanted. I know that these aren't the main focus of your channel but I definitely hope to see more because you are the ONLY PERSON I have seen tackle this with competence, style and consistency. There are tonnes of strategy/deck building channels, and while that doesn't discredit the relevance and quality of your content, these lore videos are what really made you stand out to me. You're the only person who does this and that's remarkable. Just wanted to give you the credit you deserve. Love the videos and would love to see more. Thanks for the content 🙏.
I know this card didn't exist when the video was uploaded, so I just wanted to talk about Protector Whelp of the Destruction Sword, (The Buster Blader/Destruction Sword link monster.) This just shows that Buster Whelp's spirit does live on with Buster Blader not as a memory or a feeling but as a being that helps and still keeps Buster Blader compony. This is just my interpretation of the card art and card effect and while it's still a sad story this addition makes the bitter sweet ending of the story just a little sweeter.
I've always liked to imagine that Buster Blader and Dark Magician are close friends even though I don't think there's any card art that supports this. But that would explain Dark Paladin cuz I guess you could say that's DM after Buster taught him how to make armor to fight dragons so that he could beat Blue-Eyes. The Skilled Magicians also might be relevant, but I don't really know why.
I just came across your channel from the recommendation tab and I’m very pleased. First, I haven’t been able to find many good Yu-Gi-Oh channels and I just love this video. Buster Blader is one of my favorite monsters, I used to have a Warrior Deck back in the day and I’m so happy they gave him more cards and a small lore.
@@Bingo440 It's Seven Archetypes, one for each part of the world legacy. An some neutral cards like World Regalia Edit: And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we don't even know the ending yet
#001 My guess based on certain cards that B. Blader and Dark Magician became friends or acquaintances somewhere and Dark Magician introduced B. Blader to Eyndimion (It could also indicate that B. Blader influenced Dark Magician to want to learn how to fight with a sword. Hence the card "Knight's Title")
Great video again, always happy to see you upload a new Yu-Gi-Oh! card story part. Though I was thinking: Maybe the materials used to craft the weapons were tainted and cursed/influenced the whelp? I think that this might also be very likely.
For some marvelous reason I just had this very brilliant realization that blue eyes white dragon perhaps was a thicc badly closed woman with white hair and blue eyes
I have a headcanon that after he regret killing his whelp, he retired from killing dragons and instead decide to nurture dragons instead, so he adopted 6 additional dragons and stay in mansion to become owner of the inn, and the 6 adopted dragons become caretaker for said mansion now turned inn and now they are called dragon maid.
Buster Blader and Dark Magician were "skilled" wizards who, along Gaia and some guy in red, learned how to Dragon Ball fusion, but the guy in red didn't like to "blend" with them (too much), he was a hell of a guy.
There's a special irony with the Buster Fusion monster, as he now literally makes all dragons utterly defenseless when fighting them. Taking this story into account, he now is an even greater threat to dragons
Do I love how you make these videos. I don’t think anyone else does anything like this. Haven’t played yugioh in years but it’s nice to know the lure of my childhood
These are awesome man, I'd love to see a Duel Terminal Lore video or a Black Luster Soldier video, both of those have a ton of cards so I feel like you could put together a pretty amazing video with them. So glad you still make videos and stuff man, always will be one of my favorite content creators no matter what that content is!
