Heart of Clear Water: I think that what is happening in the art is that your monster gets turned into water, kinda like the card Mist Body, and when it gets attacked it explodes, since you still take battle damage, but then its body gets reconstructed with the water drops, kinda like a Revival Jam, and the face in the water drop represents the spirit of the monster, or something. Falling Down: Since it only works with an Archfiend on your field, I think that what is happening there is that you infect your opponent monster with like darkness or something and it transforms into an Archfiend, turning "evil" against its master. Just like what happened to Dai Grepher in one of his many lores.
Hi, Mathmech player here: So yeah, Billionblade reads like garbage on its own, and it is not involved in the main Mathmech gameplan. BUT there's more to it. Three monsters Billionblade can send have pertinent effects as to why you would do so: Multiplication: Doubles the attack of a Cyberse in the EMZ Division: Halves an opponent's monster's attack, (just worse than Multiplication in most situations) Nabla: Gives a Cyberse in the EMZ 2 attacks on monsters. This is meant to go with Geomathmech Final Sigma, which is a towers in the EMZ, and does double battle damage. Again, this is not a build Mathmech really used, as other options were better, but it is an entirely functional otk package. (It would be nice if it gave piercing, but whatever.) It just so happens Cyberse has Accesscode, new Firewall Terahertz, and even Rasterliger, with Update Jammer, so it IS suboptimal, though not in relation to generic equips. In various Master Duel Festivals where those better options aren't available, it works out just fine.
Thanks for the insight! I always felt the card came up short soley due to its effects being baked into more modern Cyberse effects, but it was hard to visualize when it could actually be useful since Cyberse has come pretty far in the past few years. Since it made it on the list more for the name and design, I didn't do as much digging into its effect applications compared to other entries, so good to see players can still cook with it in limited formats or special gimmicks!
Germ Infection's non-machine targeting flavor is even weirder when you think out it. Robots can't get sick, but apparently the embodiment of various elements like Thunders, Pyros, and FREAKING ROCKS CAN (I excluded Aqua because that's the amphibian type). Then we have Zombies, which are ALREADY DEAD. And the less said about Ra and Slifer, ACTUAL GODS, the better.
I equipped it to a zombie in one of my duels and I was thinking the same thing. It's also funny that Plants have the equip spell "Vile Germs," but I guess those germs are good and these germs are bad since they're, uh, not nice looking?
@@cyberdarkturtle6971 What about monsters like Skull Knight, Hungry Burger, Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #2, and the trio of Oppressed People, People Running About, and United Resistance?
Double Tool C&D just means Cutter and Drill, not that there's supposed to be an A and a B. Yu-Gi-Oh! has always been weird about randomly abbreviating things.
21:44 -In ceramics it is very important to spray and wrap your projects between working on them to prevent them from drying out. And yes. You use platic sheets or serane wrap. Lol keeping the clay in the proper balance of moisturize to work on for the stage you are in is key. Despite his high defence, dried clay before firing is actually very brittle. It crumbles very easily into dust when struck. Leather hard is the point between really wet and dry clay where you can't really shape it must but cab carve and attach pieces more easily. Wet clay is obviously the point where you can shape and work with it most malably. By spraying and covering clay intervals yoy can also revive clay back to more wet stages. Even bone dry can become wet again if given enough treatments but it's hard without sustaining structural damage. Usually you just put it in the slop bucket at that point, let it become raw oversaturated clay and dry it on a plaster wedging surface to start from scratch. I'm guessing with cayman he is at a leather hard stage since he had that high defence but would be heavy and clumsy to move..thus low attack. By covering him, they are reverting more to the wet stage which would allow things to sink into him and get stuck easily. Thus if he gets sent to the graveyard, your opponent is losing a spell or trap that got imbedded in his wet body during whatever interaction sent him there. It feels like it may be too much of a deep cut to actual ceramicswork but yugioh will sometimes strongly do that.
Yugioh language is super delicate since when I listened back to that, I was like "oh, wow, one word changes the whole meaning." I'm glad I clarified a bit later in the segment, but yeah, it exemplifies how bad Germ Infection is that you have 2 wait a full 2 turns for any results.
I love equipping my "Different Dimension Dragon" with "Heart of Clear Water". Their two effects combined make my dragon almost indestructible, and have me some victories on Master Duel. (Also, Kayest is beautiful. Good choice of Guardian.)
So I think Falling Down is suppose to be in reference to losing oneself, because that spell is suppose to be the point between when warrior diagrapher becomes Dark Lucius. So the spell is suppose to be you're equipping a monster with the concept of losing touch with itself.
It's kinda sad that we give a monster an identity crisis with that card, but I do like the Dai Grapher adventures, so it's part of a cool side of Yugioh storytelling. If we ever cover Dark Counterparts or something like that, I'll give Falling Down a more serious look since I'm sure one of the various Dark Grepher forms would be on that list.
I always thought Heart of Clear Water was a reference to the Red Orbs of Devil May Cry. The first time you pick it up, they send you a close up and info on that item. Similar looks for sure
Thank you. I feel a lot of the older Pokémon art gets forgotten since people tend to use the default modern art when making a quick reference, which makes sense, but the older art is more nostalgic to me. Plus, OG Magikarp art looks a lot weaker which helped my point about it being a partial joke.
Since Falling Down is Archfiend support, I've always interpreted it as "falling into darkness," as the spell takes the creature and gives it the life loss trait that the chessboard Archfiends possessed. The image shows a being in pain as he is warped by evil.
Kahyoreigetsu is really underrated, I use it in my lunalight deck- a free special summon, bounce any opponents dragons, and a free fusion card at end phase
In the latin american spanish dub of DBZ (which is globally known to be much more well translated than most dubs) its called "agua ultra sagrada". The literal translation would be "ultra sacred water"
29:37 I always thought the implication was “double tool A & B” were the original tools on the artwork of power tool dragon, you know, one arm being a shovel and the other arm being a screwdriver. Hypothetically, speaking, “Double Tool E&F” could be a jackhammer and nail gun

You are correct! I figured that out when the video was uploading since I was looking at monsters to put on the thumbnail. One of the options was Command Knight and I immediately noticed the feathers.
The thing with Double Tool is that the original Japanese name was "Double Toll D&C" with the "D" standing for Drill, and the "C" standing for Circular Saw.
16:25 -I always thought this was a reflection of a drowning person in the drop. Like the clearwater is falling and pooling around this thing suddenly so it's drowning and making this terrified face that is reflected in the drops itself. No idea what that has to do with not being destroyed by battle..if you drown first no one can stab you to death?
That was a late notice by me. When I was looking for monsters for the thumbnail, I looked at warriors since they fit the equip aesthetic and I immediately noticed the feathers when looking at a render of Command Knight. The video was uploading at that point, so there was no going back, but she was one of my favorite cards from the DM era, so I would've loved to give her a mention.
@@MrTopTenList fair. I only noticed it was Command Knight one the card because she's a favourite of mine as well, though can't top Hiita the Fire Charmer for me overall.
@@WolfFenrirHelix In terms of absolute favorite of the classic monsters based on design, it'd probably be Mystical and Dark Elf. In terms of design plus effect, maybe Command Knight since I was a Warrior toolbox kid in 2004.
@@MrTopTenList certainly fair. I was a big "Machines > Everything else" for ages, especially in the GX Era, but I'm more on the "Spellcasters and waifu-y Fiends" side these days, with a leaning towards redheads thanks to Hiita and the more recent Witchcrafter Schimetta. Still have a bit of a soft spot for some of the old classics, like Magician of Faith and Mystical Elf, or Kanan the Swordmistress, as well.
Considering how small is the Lone Wolf Deck so to speak, would it be cool if they remade it for Rush Duel considering how small archetypes like Summoned Skull and Magnet Warriors are finally getting the love they deserve.
25:24 Nothing arbitrary about it. Machines don't have living cells or tissues so would not be affected by biological pathogens like germs, bacteria, and viruses.
@@MrTopTenList Once someone explains that Japanese only really has 5 vowel sounds and they always sound the same way it's way less confusing. Your pronunciation has always been pretty much on point! ✌️
I feel it would be the spiritual successor to this topic since there are at least 10 sword equip spells and we barely mentioned any swords on the 2 equip lists. Then when we get into monsters already holding swords, that a whole different topic, so we could get 2 videos out of the idea!
I would of expected you guys to mention the better versions of the heart of clear water i.e. mist body & mage power, since they're generic & mage power has better protection.
Great video but I wanted to ask, are you ever gonna continue your series talking about extra deck monsters like when are we getting the Top 10 weirdest Pendulum and Link monsters?
We really should complete the collection of weird extra deck monsters. I'll talk to Sam about it since he plays Abyss Actors and all the Pendulum decks. Link monsters, though, I'm ready to talk about them!
It's funny that I figured that out when the video was uploading. I was looking at monsters to put on the thumbnail, one of the options was Command Knight and I immediately noticed the feathers.
@@MrTopTenList I've always loved her card design, so it was interesting to see her used on some completely absurd equip spell (Which seemed to have 0 connection to the card itself).
Ekibyo drakmord used to me one of my favorite cars to use. Mostly cause I played it wrong. I don't remember what I did wrong cause it was a long time ago. But regardless it was a staple of my deck. Until my friend told me I was using it wrong.
Germ Infection and Paralyzing Potion were always weird to me that they excluded machine monsters. Aside from the idea that machines have no functions that can make them get sick or afflicted with toxins, how does that work on Fire & Rock monsters? Unless that potion is magic, how do you paralyze fire?
15:54 Ah, the german localisation is better. Translated: "By the power of my position as Sauce Devil i order this one sauce drop to be extra hellish and spicy!"
Is it just me or looks falling down a bit like Doomsday from dc comics. Plus in the comic it's also used like an injected virus to turn into it, which would explain the equip card
The Kahyoreigetsu card makes me suffer because along it's múltiple referentes to the bracelet girls from arc-v it also included the fusión parasite stuff which dislike a Lot, and it's one of the many things that changed My feeling for Arc-v from liking it to disliking it later on
Was there anything yet about the equip spell that transforms gearfried when you can't equip him with anything? Also bamboo sword archetype is absolutely broken now. XD Bubble Blaster was the draw where all the hero playing OGs would become a literal finding Nemo reference. Just buubbbles!
33:13 Sorry man, the only thing I can remember about escaflowne, is the ridiculously long _and_ sharp noses that made the kiss scenes biologically unfeasible...
Eventually! Sam and I have spoken about doing that one for awhile. While I play modern Yugioh, Pendulum decks are not my strong suit, but he plays Abyss Actors and the like, so he's helping me with some of the oddities (besides Ghost Beef. Love Ghost Beef).
So weird cyberse player here there is a deck I play for fun based on giving cyberse clock dragon the most amount of attack possible and because of nayuta combined with mathmech multiplication I have managed to make a fairly consistent combo that gives him 20000+ attack it’s very silly

Not a fan of top ten lists video without timestamps. With time stamps you can go "I don't agree with that item on the list, but I respect your opinion" and skip to the next item. Now I do agree Broken Bamboo Sword is weird, but if I didn't, I'd have to sit through it just to get to a part of the video I care about.
If I put broken bamboo sword in my deck it would be to just to use the effects of my Seven swords warrior. Vengeful servant can also work if your opponent takes a powerful monster from you and you use armory call. BTW Command Knight is a woman.
