@@VictorHernandez-nj2lo You might wanna look up Noble Knights. They're the closest thing I can think of to an archetype that might fit Celtic Guard in well enough to try.
Injection Fairy Lily: Iconic card. Highly coveted for a few years, was high up in the meta for a few years Counselor Lily: Who? but at least she's a Tuner.
"you only liked me for my syringe!" But I guess you gotta keep in mind that this was during the times where they had to either limit or ban the original IFL (which is still hilarious), so I guess this retrain was a purposeful nerf.
@@raze2012_ Injection Fairy Lily wasn't even banned or on the Limited list let alone played outside some rouge deck at the time Counselor Lily was released. Her getting banned when she did was also still ridiculous.
Mimicking Man-Eater Bug might ALSO be a reference to how Man-Eater Bug once got a reprint in Japan that accidentally listed it as a Warrior-Type monster. That, plus the leaf insect design, is probably why they chose to retrain Man-Eater Bug like this.
I think Gene-warped Warwolf is actually supposed to be the endpoint of Assault mercenary story, as it got genetically modified, giving it two new arms and making it stronger
@@franknova987 one from the red-eyes... And then the retrain... Then ritual,fusion(s) (?), Syncrhos (?), and Xyz... So, 7 or 8, or 9? Idk... (We'll have to wait for the Link one)
Celtic Guardian will always have a special place in my heart, even if 9 times out of 10 he was just cannon fodder in the anime. #JusticeForCelticGuardian
Really wish Konami would make a full blown archetype of Celtic monsters like they did with the magnet warriors. There is a vast array of figures from Celtic mythology they can take inspiration from. Hell, Celtic icons are already prevalent in other Japanese media such as the Shin Megami Tensei and Fate series. I'd love to see Yugioh's take on them.
It’s not a *monster* retrain, but one of my favorite unexpected retrains is Crossout Designator. The original form of this card was a classic old spell card called Nobleman of Crossout, which featured a blond knight with a thin sword. It would destroy and banish a face-down monster card. And if it was a flip monster, it would banish all copies of it from the opponent’s deck. So a decade or two later, they made Crossout Designator. A quick-play spell that features the exact same Knight (but with a more action-oriented pose), and a *completely* different effect. At the risk of elaborating on something everyone knows about now, Crossout Designator lets you banish a card from your own deck, to negate the effects of any other copies of that card for the rest of the turn. It basically lets any deck selectively deny the opponent certain cards by including a copy of that card. The funny thing to me is that Nobleman of Crossout had a counterpart; Nobleman of Extermination. That one had an enormous Knight with a sword the size of an entire person. It would destroy and banish a face-down *spell/trap*, and banish all copies of it if it was a Trap. So I’m kinda just wonder if and when we’ll see *Extermination* Designator, and what the heck that could be. Also, fun fact: Nobleman of Crossout has changed its status on the ban-list 8 times. More than any other card (even D-Hero Malicious)
"How many times can a card get retrained before it gets stale?" "The record is six" It's ok, Summoned Skull. You and your Archfiend brothers and sisters will be good one of these days
Tbf, Summoned Skull might have a Gemini, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Toon, and Ritual retrain - but it doesn't have a Union, Spirit, Pendulum, or Link retrain yet! Let's let Summoned Skull be the first archetype to use all the summoning mechanics, he deserves it.
@@HistoryandReviews summoned skull has a bunch of upgraded versions that use a bunch of different mechanics. It doesn't have versions of itself for ALL mechanics though, so might as well finish off that list.
I don't think gene warp counts as retrain, looks more like art related story, as pointed out, the assault one was that character before getting gene warped. Like the art stories of servant skull ou gagagigo ou luster soldier that many different card highlights some of their charaters backstory, not necessarily related to the card effect they are illustrating.
Got to wonder what goes through the developers heads sometimes. Some of these retrains just seem so random. Would love to be a fly on the wall during the meetings. Another great video guys!
You should do a list for cards with cameos of yugioh characters in the card art, some of the cool ones include Kaibaman, Absolute King Back Jack, and the Bujin archetype
I think the Assault Mercenary became the Warwolf or its just his little brothe, Non-Gene-Warped Warwolf. I think Sonic Bird sacrified someone while testing his new flying device which would excuse it being a ritual spell which means he became EVIL thus the Dark Attribute. It's my headcanon at least. He wasn't looking angry for no reason. He was currupt since the beginning. Gora is a very good movie. I highly suggest watching it. But not as funny as the Saban comedy movies. I am personally not a fan of retrains. Maybe we can get a video on weirdest upgrades? Like how Petit Moth becomes Larvea Moth after being tributed with Cocoon of Evolution after a few turns.
I think its more likely Transonic Bird got the DARK Attribute because there could be some stealth tech in his new jetpack. Also, I think you misspelled "corrupt". Another video idea could be a list of manga variants of Yugioh monsters, because there are quite a few examples of those cards.
20:24 - Loads of Level-3 monster combos for Synchro Level 6 & 9 exist that heavily play into having her 1-turn attack boost. *In Duel Links... (4000 LP) Combo Cards: Counselor Lily (Pay 500LP gain TEMP 1000 Attack boost) Psychic Wheeler (Tuner+Destruction Selection targetinh Card weaker than Synchro Monster summoned) Psychic Tracker (+600 Attack PERM) Special Skills: "Knowing how to Special Summon!" Synchros: Barkion (Trap Negation) Psychic Riser (less so...) (Fun Effect...) Goyo (most of Goyo Series) Psychic Nightmare (possible 4400 Attack just 2 cards+luck/skill) Lots of great combo choices especially if you roll with "3s"! Level 9s: Vermillion Dragonmech (Each turn Targeted Destruction) Crystron Quariongandrex (Banishes 1 of each - Hand, Field, and Graveyard) Mist Wurm (Returns 3 cards to hand)
I think Assault mercenary is supposed to be a prequel character to Gene-Warped Warwolf. My headcanon is that he got genetic modification to try and regrow arms he lost a long time ago (hence them being cybernetic in Mercenary). BUT the procedure went wrong/overboard and gave him four arms instead of two.
The whole Mako Tsunami cards, Joey Cards, and more, have also retrains ❤️👏🏻 For a 3er video You can also do the Royal trap cards + theTyrant + the catapult throw unit, all of them are as one 🙂
I didn't know "Counselor Fairy" was an actual monster. I just thought she was the lady gatekeeping the city from "Goblin Attack Force" in "Attraffic Control".
fun fact every monster that gets even a moment in the dm anime will get a retrain or full on archetype. it's only a matter of time for the full swordsman of landstar archetype :)
Technically, "Landstar" is already an archetype with additional monsters and even a spell card with a swarm effect.... It's just that none of those cards have been printed, so they are stuck in "Anime Card" limbo like the remaining Harpie Lady and Orichalcos support.
I dont know why I loved Gora Turtle as a kid. Maybe because it looked like the Gorons from Zelda, and i loved Majoras Mask. So seeing something that (maybe) pay homage to the game was crazy.
14:45 Just use Heritage of the Chalice. No, I'm serious, *he can be searched by that card because of "Noble Arms" in his name.* The link version of Dharc is actually a meta card. Or, at least it was when Verte was unbanned.
well at least you mentioned Mimicking Man Eater Bug and why did it have to wait another video to mention Obnoxious celtic Guardian who the retrained aryctype is literllany named after?

How come when the guys are talking it's just normal commentary/editing/whatever, but when Meter is talking there *has* to be a cute anime girl on screen? Not complaining, it's just...odd? Anyway, great video. Going in-depth with Japanese translations was a step beyond what I would have expected of this type of content, and it was all surprisingly insightful. Very cool!
Glad you enjoy the translation elements of the videos! I feel the original context of the cards is important to consider looking at how many of them got name changes. As for Judgment Meter, it's a running gag that goes back to 2016. She started off as the voice of a meter that used various reaction images from 2013 to 2015. When people started just referring to her as "the anime girl" and thought she sounded like a dubbed anime character, we just said "why not" and just had her be a random anime character every video to commit to the bit, including when she's not the only cohost. Then when we took away the anime character when she was talking, people asked for it to be brought back, so we kept it. The origin of the joke gets lost based on how long its been, so maybe we'll replace it with something else some day.
I always imagined that Assault Mercenary was the past form of Gene-Warped Warwolf, because is more probable that he gained two extra arms than lost two do to genetic tests.
Gene Warped Warwolf saw some serious competitive play in 2011 -2013. It was the biggest normal summonable Beast Warrior and a rescue rabbit target. Which made it very good in early Fire Fist decks as either a beater or material for their xyz Tiger King
Is there gonna be a part 3 that focuses more on Spells and Traps because those got alot for example Raigeki with Lightning vortex and co plus Pot of Greed with it's lot retrained... POT OF GENEROSITY oh also Morphing Jar
For me, one of my most disappointing retrains would be Glacier Aqua Madoor whose a retrain of Neo Aqua Madoor, the evolving form of Aqua Madoor, for what seems to be the ultimate water magician it's effect is very lackluster, I can understand the protection but the fact that only protect normal monsters and only for battle makes me think the Ice Barrier he conjures (also miss opportunity to not tie him up with the Ice Barriers) is not really that big of a deal, not to mention the battle effect who I think is based on the line of the original Aqua Madoor is also as useless as the first effect, kind of sad because he honestly has a cool design Like Vega(Balrog) from Street Fighter combines with Dr. Strange. Ps: I love Yorishiro of the Aqua, that' a 10/10 retrain in my book.
The fact counselor lily has an effect but it doesn't say effect monster and its on a vanilla card threw me off lol I thought someone was trying to rip me off .
10:24 here’s an idea to summon Noble Man Eater Bug! Play Cost Down first , with it you can downgrade him by 2 levels , then set him in defense mode face down , easy peasy . Or use Shallow Grave, it brings back from the graveyard face down defense , more easy
Judgment meter makes these videos for me when it auto plays, she is a loveable bimbo that makes me laugh. That archfiend eater charmer pet is indeed a mouthful.
Gosh!!! this censored names from the 90's affects the game until today , I get so confused some times. It's the "Fairy" arctype supposed to be "Angel" ???
Once again RU-vid has deleted comments without informing me. If you ever see your comment gone, leave it again (potentially with a minor change to avoid alerting RU-vid's spam bots) since I never delete comments that aren't legit spam (or at least without warning the person commenting). I was wondering where the SF6 comments were since I usually get a few for a new fighting game when its announced. What was your original comment?
My favorite thing about counselor lily is that while yes technically she’s garbage. The fact that she’s a level 3 tuner with some type of floating effect when used for a synchro summon and since Halq is still alive she’s instantly useable at the minimum for that😂
Parasite paracide was never any good,especially when u sleeve ur cards. Plus once it special summons to ur opponent's field,they can basically tribute it
Transonic Bird looks surprisingly similar to Simorgh of Darkness or Dark Simorgh, with the giant rings on the back and the jet wing being black. Could this be reason he became a Dark type, much like how most Simorgh are Wind and Dark? Maybe he finally get an upgrade that makes him part of the Simorgh family now, at least apperance-wise
As far as I can tell, the name of Gora turtle is derived from the japanese word koura which means shell. The other half of its name is a little harder to track down. Potentially it's from an obscure reading of the kanji 顔 (kao) meaning face since it's a turtle with a face on its back. The face itself reminds me of something Olmec or Polynesian.
Diabound Kernal doesn't so much need a retrain as much as they need to print all of its upgraded forms shown in Ancient Egypt as actual cards IMO. They could easily make him a proper archetype just by doing that.
I like the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, because it is so cool and both Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon are my childhood. These two anime shows were the first anime shows I have watched. Sabrina Griffin
*Nefariouset Archfiend Neferiouser Archfiend Eater of Neferiousness & Knuckles Featuring Bayonetta from the Bayonetta Series (Bayonetta was in SMT: Liberation Dx2, it works).
If that Maha Vailo one had its effects apply at ALL times, it would likely STILL not be anywhere near competitively viable because of how trash equip cards are. Any monster removal would get rid of it and cause such a massive swing in tempo and card advantage that it wouldn't be worth using a normal summon on, even if it DIDN'T require a tribute.
I'm just waiting for when you do part 3 and mention Deep of Blue Eyes because DAMN that thigh gap! To quote Rata: I think someone wanted to be Deep INSIDE Blue Eyes.
In the intro, some of those are not Retrains. Harpy Lady 1 is the RT, not Cyber Harpy; Gem-Knight Crystal doesn't have a RT, the XYZ shown is it's Evolution in the Storyline.
12:01 Kamen Rider has a lot of bug motifs but I think that might be one Kamen Rider OOO (Gatakiriba) did. One of the three motifs of Gatakiriba is a preying mantis (kamakiri), which I think Man-Eater Bug was mean to be based on (orchid mantises even have the camo thing going on so that checks out, I think) 12:08 Speaking of Kamen Rider lol
