Why Was Yugioh SO AWESOME?! And... What Happened to it? 

Best anime in history

That's how I like my men and women 😈

Your move Act Man 🃏

😫

Oh god yes

fantastic!

I thought it was the actual one lol

Yeah, I couldn't stop watching it, especially the ending with the monetization.

The Quantum bit was golden

I know you’re born after 9/11 but try not to use words you don’t understand or would say out loud in public 😂

very much so, it literally made me go "Jessy wtf are you talking about?"

Right? I mean, whats te problem with having weird or cute archetypes now? Its not like the good old wizards, fiends and dragons have gone away, there are very much still there. Theres just more stuff

“Yugiboomer” joke is so old

Was he wrong? lol.

With skylanders profile picture you have my respect

I'm 28 and I fell out of playing it when pendulum was introduced, my favourite era was the 5ds era 😭 I've still got my beloved Blackwing deck

I wish the time wizard format got more traction I have decks from 2003-2004 before they banned all the cards and things got weird

@@HollywoodHoganWCW Me too, I dipped after me and my brother couldn't wrap our heads around Pendulums. Also 5Ds and Synchros were, are, and forever will be the best extra monsters they ever made. ♥

Konami should just officially create categories of competition by types of summoning and/or deck building, almost like the development of the anime. That would be a lot better to see what's more popular and would open the game for any type of player. Mixing it all as the only option is a mistake.

3 minutes at most for the most combo heavy decks but yeah. It’s really agitating not waiting all that time but the fact it introduces so many cards that you need I know the effects of or risk triggering an effect that will counter you. And repeatable negates and a saturation of negates in general without a heavy cost was the worst design decision in all of yugioh. Because they are what truly make unwinnable games

Blue-Eyes synergizes extremely well with a lot of the Galaxy Exceeds monsters. They provide the archetype with some much needed interruption effects. If you haven't already, I highly recommend adding a few of them to your deck, especially Number 38. I would suggest Dark Matter too, but that card has been banned for a few years xD

I'm impressed you found a 20 min combo. What deck was it?

That’s fascinating to know, it’s always nice to see instances of mutual crossover appreciation 👍

If you don't believe in the heart of the cards, ngmi in any card game.

Im just a duel links players, and the original anime kid back in the days Ya ,the heart of the cards is Missing with modern decks like u said

MTG got trap cards in the original Zendikar block, I can't tell you how many people I pissed off by saying "you've activated my trap card" and dropping two archive traps on turn 1.

@@anannoyedpanda The version of the heart of cards in runeterra or hearthstone is translated directly to the "heart of rng."

Wholesome af, your dad seems rad for this

@@triplefried ha the old man ain’t too bad, thanks man

That's awesome dude! My dad tried playing it with me once without learning any of the rules, used the magic cylinder card a good three rounds after I attacked him, got mad at me when I said it didn't count, then quit playing and refused to talk to me the rest of the day. No wonder mom left lol.

@@triplefried His dad's favourite card was Bat. What a chad too.

My dad killed himself...

2014 card Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon: If this card battles, during damage calculation (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card once per battle; this card gains ATK equal to the combined Ranks of all Xyz Monsters currently on the field x 200, during that damage calculation only. If this card in its owner's control is destroyed by an opponent's card effect while it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as Xyz Material: You can Special Summon this card during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation and double its ATK. Any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is halved unless it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as Xyz Material.

Chain mst

Favorite Deck was Endymion til they got rid of electrumite 😢

I love yugioh but to this day I think pendulum is a mistake. I lose to them not cuz they outskilled me or anything, I just refuse to read that much text cuz while normal might have big texts, they have waaaay too much

its too long for the act man to read

CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES

5Ds was definitely the best one storywise.

I love how the "card games on motorcycles" anime is actually really good. Like actually really really good. 5ds is a goat.

@@mysteryperson1958 It was one of the reasons why people say not to judge a book by it's cover. I watched it because of the meme and it got me hooked a lot earlier than GX did.

Synchro summoning to this day is still the best extra deck gimmick ever brought forth in my honest opinion.

I dunno. That kinda seems like a merciful end compared to perpetual agony.

@@Darkeep12 depends if he actually FELT like he was on fire or if he just THOUGHT he was on fire.

That's fucking awesome

@@CowKirbo Whats the difference?

@@TheActMan Also, there are some games that were left out of or censored in the anime. The first game in episode 1 was very tame because in the manga, they literally used the knife and a stack of money (for both players) on top of their own hand. The game was simple, you STAB the stack of money on top of your hand without letting the knife reaching your flesh. The one with more money win. Another censorship in the manga was when Joey (or Jounouchi) fought a Bruce Lee wannabe guy. On top of standing on the pipe, each player has a FREAKING KNIFE BETWEEN THEIR TEETH and you are allowed to punch that knife to kill your opponents. LOL

Digimon & pokemonZ too

I started rewatching it recently and battle city honestly holds up to this day

Could Yu-Gi-Oh be considered early woke with all the censorships?

Yoo same! Yu-Gi-Oh! was the first anime I'd ever seen. Saw it on TV when I was 7 while I was getting ready for Sunday Church. It was this, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Digimon, and Sonic X that shaped my childhood. Shit changed my life. 🙏🏽

@@smorior709 digimon does not hold up xD

Thank God, couldn’t play it before.

Counterpoint: Weiss-Schwartz has Dragon Maids. The ACTUAL Dragon Maids.

The cards were deemed weak enough to be given insane amounts of support, and much of that support still doesn't see play, only time it did was when they wanted to promote blue eyes so they specifically made blues eyes able to target the best deck at worlds, and then it became woefully insignificant No, you're not playing the deck for the monster, at best the monster is a garnet to facilitate the other effects they weighed down Even blue eyes isn't a good beatstick anymore, a pot of desires and a gren maju draws you 2 and gets a 4000/4000 3 star for literally no effort No, you're playing the archetype because alternative is a free summon and pop as long as you have blue eyes in hand

@@DeitySkullKid if the blue eyes needs to be in hand, it won't be a garnet will it. PLUS gren manju doesnt have destruction or anything, it's just a massive beat stick, and if you don't draw into it the deck has nothing. what I'm trying to say is that yes, blue eyes isn't a good beatstick anymore, that's why it having an archetype is so good, it's gameplan is no longer "BIG ATTACK WIN" it's an actual competent strategy

Nerrrrrrrrrrrrddddddd

@@TheActMan Despite how absurd the premise is, 5D's is surprisingly good and after it ended is when everything started to fall apart with new game mechanics and power-creep. Essay's worth of text, pendulums, invincible boss monsters, omni-negates, idiotic naming and increasingly kawaii'fied/waifu archtypes... Classic ygo died when Zexal started.

Not to mention they bring forth actual variety in Yu-Gi-Oh. Gonna be honest I don't get how people are okay with GOAT format and playing chaos and only chaos

Archetype locking cards is a design aid. By locking a card to an archetype is simplifies the number of interactions that it needs to check for when designing a card.

I dont think kids play yugioh because its so complex. the only people that plays yugioh are grown men.

It's dumb stuff like that that makes the show enjoyable. Kaiba even has a blue eyes jet. That he jumps out of for dramatic effect as it lands itself.

Kaiba being based as always.

Yami Yugi: "Behold! Literal magic to make the cards summon actual monsters!" Kaiba: "Hmmm... I could make so much money replicating this..."

So, did Kaiba invent it or did Pegasus? Or, I'm assuming Pegusus was an investor?

@@notsocomplex9458 Pegasus made the cards Kaiba came out with the arenas and the duel disc (arm thing). He later bought out Pegasus' company.

Hear hear!!

He went out a hero

Tbf it’s genuinely the most complicated extra deck function, not to mention it’s practically the only one that still has to pay attention to the extra monster zones other than links after MR5. Just about every other extra deck monster is conceptually just a fusion with different specific requirements to bring it out. Pendulums start as main deck, have multiple functions as both spells and monsters, have scales to pendulum summon, don’t go to the GY when destroyed or taken off the field, go face up in the extra deck, and can THEN in turn be themselves pendulum summoned. There is no single other monster card type in ygo with that many rules that make it feel so different from how like any other card type plays. I’m not knocking pendulums, I appreciate the place they hold in the tcg, but you can’t act like they aren’t the most weirdly contrarian summoning mechanic/card type in the game.

As someone who knows how to read.. I understood them the second the reveals broke loose. People CHOOSE to not understand Pendulum.

Your j9king, it’s really been 9 years hasn’t it…. Dang i feel old as fuck

It breaks a lot of rules that have been followed by every other summoning type. You can pendulum summon without actually summoning any pendulum monsters, you can just do that with normal monsters. I can't Synchro summon a random card from my hand, there are special cards for that. When pendulum cards are destroyed they're sent face up to the extra deck? That's 2 entirely new things. One is face up extra deck, and two is not going to the graveyard naturally. This isn't like cards with an extra effect that say, "If this card is destroyed it is banished instead." They just go to your extra deck for whatever reason and if your opponent doesn't have any backrow destruction they can keep coming back over and over. It's just so opposite of literally every other monster type in the entire game.

Pretty simple actually, if you aren’t interested, then you have no desire to learn.

I was very proud of it 😁

It was pretty cool

It never was a win condition, the incomplete version of the game you where playing as a kid with a singular structure deck never reflected the actual game. You probably didn't understand the game either, if you actually wanted to play you would have picked up some structure decks and played something real. Even some of the first structure decks like dragons where better than that. Don't talk about yugioh like you ever knew what it was, you probably played it before you had object permanence.

@@raybun4003 having the bigger number was the win con for the first year and a half. With almost no effect monsters. It's was busted traps and who has the best lvl 4 creature. Summoning the 1850 first turn was a 100% win if they did not have an answer next turn

​@@raybun4003I actually played the mobile game and thought I was hot shit and played one of the tournaments I had one of the best starting hands I've ever had then proceeded to watch a guy play solitaire for 10 minutes straight and completely overkilled the shit out of me 😂 He could have beat me in 5 minutes but destroyed every card I had on my side including the field card and all traps including the anti spell trap card had my two monsters destroyed and summoned a whole field of manager all over 4000 attack. The guy was actually ranked in the top 200

​@@raybun4003It was? Monsters used to have little to no effects so having a bunch of powerful monsters and sneaky traps was the win condition. But even if it wasn't the case on higher level play (that barely existed at the time because the game was very new) their point still stands, casual opinion matters just as much as the hardcore comp. players.

@@notsogreatjagras4314 Jesus christ you really know nothing don't you, from the printing of wall of illusion, man eater bug, cards in the first ever decks ever, starter deck yugi and kaiba, just attacking with big tribute monsters wasn't the best strategy, why waste two monsters and two turns to tribute summon a blue eyes when it'll die to a three of man eater bug, or hane hane, then early decks like clown control also invalidated big bungus beatsown decks.

Side note, he was actually pressured by his editors to move it towards the card game. He himself was always hesitant on it. Takahashi loves games of all kind. Just whatever wacky game ideas he could come up with. That was his passion. That's why the rules of Duel Monsters were so weird in the first season. He tried to imbue the card game with mechanics from other types of board games. That's why he included Dungeon Dice Monsters for a few episodes as well. And it's also why the last arc of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime/manga had nothing to do with the card game, and was a 1v1 Dungeons and Dragons style tabletop game recounting the events of Atem's life between Bakura and Atem. I think there's also a bit of sad parallels between Kaiba, Yugi, and Takahashi. In the Dark Side of Dimensions film, Duel Monsters has gotten so big that it's all anyone cares about anymore. Kaiba continues to push it further onto people with new marketing campaigns designed around more and more high tech ways of playing (Similar to all the new game mechanics Konami started introducing). Yugi (Takahashi) meanwhile, while Atem (the Yu-Gi-Oh manga) and Duel Monsters (The card game) will always be in his heart, he's graduating soon, and dreams of developing new exciting games of all kinds for people to play. He leaves Joey the future of "King of Games" because that was never his goal. He never cared about the title, and only dueled because he had to, or just to have fun with his friends. But, with Duel Monsters being so popular, it's all but guaranteed that Yugi's games will never be more than something people play once and then forget about. Just as we saw with Duke Devlin's Dungeon Dice Monsters game.

Yeah, almost every card has a wall of text on them now! I have a friend who plays at a local card shop and I go with her from time to time; it's so hard for me to keep up with any of the duels I watch there. lmao

@Andrew Tate WTF man!? The hell is your problem posting fake shit like that and calling it funny?!

I’m pretty sure it was also because he hadn’t yet figured out the rules for Duel Monsters as a game, since at the time the manga was in that arc, the OCG was being played with the rules in the manga. By the Battle City arc, Takahashi figured out the standardized rules we know today, and a revised ruleset was released for the OCG, which is the basis for how we play this game to this day

Monster Collection was released in 1997, at that time Takahashi was 36-37 years old

It was actually based off of Magic the Gathering.

@@izaiahsundquist6877 Yu-Gi-Oh! has roots in both MtG & Monster Collection to be fair. It just went down a different path as the card game evolved over time into something completely different. The funny thing is that MonColle is more or less a dead TCG now while MtG is pretty much on life support due to Hasbro/WotC's incompetence over the years. I can't believe that I'll live long enough probably to see MtG die off soon as for a lot of people I knew growing up, it was a game they loved and to see it fade like this is a tragedy.

@@Ziko577 One point of contention- It's a little absurd to say MtG is on life support. It's so absurdly huge, that even with the vocal opposition to WotC practices, it's still the biggest and most ubiquitous card game there is. Not to mention the sheer compliance of the long-term players who refuse to quit, despite vocally loathing both the game and the company. (Though on an, arguably, happier note- I do know a local player of like 20+ years selling all of their MtG to come and play Flesh and Blood, instead.)

Yeah, I can’t imagine playing this in paper format. All that stuff being done by master duel helps a lot

I only play in paper what I learned by heart in MD, which works perfectly fine Only problem is the price... I play Darklord and bought it irl but couldn't include forbidden droplet (which is part of that Archetype) cause it's meta and costs like 60$ a piece?!

Have you heard of the Speed Duel format, based on the Duel Links game? For those of us who want the nostalgia but can't be bothered with all the complicated new mechanics and combo-heavy meta it's really ideal. It feels a lot like playing back in the day with the iconic anime decks. They've only released cards up to the GX era so far, so none of the new summoning methods or meta archetypes.

master duel is a lot balanced than halqidon format last season, that format was horror

My favorite thing of YuGiOh videogames I can be sure of what works and what DOES NOT XD And of course getting all the cards without becoming DHALSIM XD

I got back in the game by watching Rata's series on archetypes.

Kaiba is a 17 year old CEO who was still attending high school about 2 months before he was promoted.

@@jacobwoodman4488 very true, 5ds was based 💊

@King of The Zinger I never considered that for the vylons before, it's a really good point! Makes the archetype look very interesting even though its not the most strong.

If by "exotic art" you mean they look like elaborate doodles from a Hot Topic employee still tweaking on LSD, sure.

@@thewarner2139 Well I am not going to write an essay, but the Cubic archetype's artworks are extremely well made. They mix an otherworldly design with features of various divinities from Hinduism - alongside a constant motif of having the Cubic Seed show up in different body parts of the other Cubic monsters (What is both a nod on how they play and the god the Cubic Seed is based of). Trust me, there are a handful of archetypes in yugioh that have unmemorable or not-as-deeply-designed artworks, but if you ever break down what the Cubic card designs you'll see a lot of little details and it may genuinely help you in doing artworks.

Sucks that it's full of outdated memes and misrepresents the game though

problem with fixing it in the modern game is you either have to A) print new copies of every card with revised text and ban all previous copies which has obvious flaws or B) slowly dispense reprints with the revised texts aswell as printing new cards in this format while leaving all old copies legal which is a decent solution but it will take a long time to truly take effect due to its 'trickling' nature.

@@Edgelordfosho they've been doing the 2nd one for a couple years now. albeit it needs to be quicker in that reprint errata and honestly make it easier to read.

@@muckdriver I mean I know that as I still play I just assume the OP meant something still a bit more concise as we still end up with things like Endimyon. I dont mind all the text personally but I can see why people dont like it

@@Edgelordfosho They do erratas all the time you just treat the old text as the new text. It's why print one of sangan is still legal even though its written effect is technically inocorrect

I have heard a suggestion that effects be simplified like Magic The Gathering (which I don’t know much about). Things like “Toon”, “Spirit”, “Gemini” etc. can remove much of their similar text and have you refer to a rulebook. Same thing with “once per turn, this card can…” to “SOPT” or something else for a soft once per turn. “Spell/trap immune”, “Non-targetable”, etc.

At one point, the dueling academy will be a reality just to understand all the special rulings and erratas. Hell, that's why I absolutely LOVED Fairy Tail Snow. Monsters activate ridiculous effects when you attack them, destroy them, target them, send them to the graveyard... But when you flip them upside-down?? They are useless! That's just absolutely hilarious. Fairy Tail Snow + Crossout Nobleman. Killer combo.

yea, another thing about word text is what words they use, for example, "when" & "if" can mean the difference between a card working & a card not working, or "sent" & "discard", similar but work differently

@@TheRamblemanWhoSings True. And honestly that is very stupid. Why should if and when be different for complicated gameplay's sakes?

@@f1r3hunt3rz5 it sucks, maybe it's a way to balance cards, but that's probably not it

@@TheRamblemanWhoSings its a way to balance, and yugioh is much easier to read out of the gate, like if i told you the effect of a card is. "Discard 1 card; Send 1 monster your opponent controls to the GY." You know it discards as cost which would make dangers go off but not dark worlds, then it sends as effect but does not target or destroy meaning your opponent does not have a chance to reposition a monster or something to avoid it outside of making it leave the field, and it gets past destruction protection. Lets compare it to something like magic, if something has banding, afterlife, menace, or reach. Without looking up what those do, you would have no clue even if you know alot about magic, and know all the rules. Also magic has some of the same problems, like does a random removal card effect a hexproof monster? what about a nuke? sacrifice? your opponents choice?

Six sams have their own synchro and literally still didn't stop being good when synchros came out. Also, Magic is just as bad at balancing. The fact that a fanmade format is the most popular over the regular formats shows that.

@Benoit Brown Y'all really be putting words in my mouth, but not surprising considering y'all apparently can't read. I stopped playing a month after Stardust Dragon came out in 2008. The first "Six Sam" lists with synchros started showing up in 2011. Can y'all count or do I have to explain that too? I had no interest in synchros at all, that was the first of apparently multiple times now it became a whole different game. Hence why I put "Six Sams" in quotes because it became apparent to me that they just used a collection of the best synchros in their ED to win. Like every other deck. And not a single one had that Six Samurai synchro. To me, that isn't a Six Samurai deck, it's just another synchro deck. Considering the amount of text in modern YGO cards y'all YGO players should be considerably more literate.

@Benoit Brown You should probably get your vision checked. Because all you're doing is absolutely not reading what I wrote. Is English not your first language? I also don't appreciate you purposely misinterpreting what I'm saying to better suit your impression of me. So far everything I've said can be backed by fact, whether you like it or not, not my problem.
