Fun trivia about Tyr. The gods were able to trap Fenrir by tricking him. They bet he wasn't strong enough to break some chains, if they bound him with them. He did so easily the first time. When they forged even stronger chains, he broke those too. But when they had Gleipnir forged, it appeared fine as a ribbon. Fenrir suspected something was off, and made them promise to release him if he couldn't break it. In order to make sure they held up their end of the bargain, Tyr offered to place his hand in Fenrir's mouth in an act of faith. When Fenrir couldn't break gleipnir, and the gods refused to release him, he bit off Tyr's hand. Nordic Champion Tyr's right hand appears to be missing in the cards artwork.
Red Dragon Archfiend is just like it’s owner, it can’t stand admitting when it’s pride has been nailed, let alone being Hammered straight into the ground (If not Literally).
can't think of any for GX but 5ds: the nordic gods zexal: the numerons arc V: Z-arc vrains: idk the arrival cyberse maybe? edit: the sacred beast for GX duh
@@typeouetco1626 yeahhh but there's a lot of numerons, all of those are basically archetypes I'm pretty sure, but I'll look into them, also yes definitely sacred beasts for gx lmao
To elevate the fact that the Egyptian Gods are true gods, with seemingly extremely overpowered effects in the Anime, and together they summon Horakty (sorry if I spelled it wrong), winning the whole duel. While it’s cool that GX and 5D’s have their own resemblances of the 3 Gods, they are just resemblances and aren’t meant to copy the originals, and even the Gods themselves (Divine-Attribute/Divine Beast-Type) were made for the purpose of the lore. So yeah, it just fits what Konami wants to do, treating all cards are monsters for the purpose of the game. Also, if there would be a Type higher than all normal types but still below Divine, like ‘Supreme’ for example, the ‘Gods’ would definitely be in that Type or it could be a Category kind of thing, where it goes like [Supreme/Thunder/Synchro/Effect] then Supreme would just becomes a collection of powerful cards that all collectors want to have for themselves, not that ‘Supreme’ matters in actual gameplay, but it somewhat elevate the importance of these cards in the anime and be a weird kind of Rarity system, like ‘Supreme-Rare’.
@@MatthewCJoy mostly nobody can bc old norse language is completely lost to time even icelandic is just the oldest still spoken dialect and thats modernised too so yeah ur argument is none
Little fact about 5D's is that it's got the most amount of God cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh series with a total of 22: •The Crimson Dragon •7 Earthbound Immortals •3 Aesir Gods •11 Timelords And if we include the manga its 25: •Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon •Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin •Timelord Progenitor Vorpgate (Arc-V manga)
First Series has more . Ra Exodia Zorc Wicked Gods Leviathan Apep Exodius Exodia necross Obelisk Dragon of Ra Dragon of Osiris Sacred Beasts Unlike timelords they are real god and god cards(except sacred beasts) and dont forget that horakhty and exodia was only real gods in yugioh. Almost all gods are created by Horakhty.
@@FujoshiRaperNecross isnt technically a god card in context of the anime. Also did you mean to include Ra twice? The Timelords had their names changed in the dub, they were originally called "Time Machine Gods" Also who is Apep? Did you mean Atem, cuz if so he's not a god Another thing is that Yugioh is very loose on the concept of deities
@@chasgalaxy6721 Apep god of Orichalcos .enemy of horakhty .And necross is not a god card he is god but weaker version of exodia .yeah Timelords are same as Egyptian gods but still weaker .there are only three real gods .Zorc Exodia Horakhty .these gods can surpass infinity easily .apep is real god too but he is different than others .
@@FujoshiRaper didn't know that about Apep, honestly S4 was kinda bad. Also tbf even in the anime I'm pretty sure the Timelords are stronger than the Egyptian Gods considering their effects both in the anime and irl
@@chasgalaxy6721 no timelords are weaker than egyptian gods .Egyptian gods are immune to all effects and they have actually infinite power .their atk always can uprage .and strongest god(except exodia and horakhty) was exodius .immune to all trap monster and spell card effects cannot be destroyed by battle. Obelisk can defeat all beings with his infinite power .Immortal phoenix can defeat all timelords at same time he has true unaffacted by card effect ability .
@Gucci Crimson nor so. even in anime. the eygyption gods couldn't be destroyed or banished or sent off the field for any reason including tribute but negating efts is on table
Thor's and Loki's designs in Yugioh surprise me, I definitely didn't expect Thor to look like he does with the midriff, tights, and bent handle Hammer, and Loki looks like he's cosplaying as a cowboy (With a Yu yu Hakusho Spirit gun attack to go with it) Odin looks pretty much what I'd expect from his position (Though him being that huge and without a horse does distract me since I'm so used to Final Fantasy Odin)
@@Doktor_Jones That and the clouds acting like, I don't know the exact word for it, but like, tufts, like you see those puffy scarves around people's necks, he's got them around his waist, and his shoulders, I do kinda like them, but still
Shout out to Loki who took one for the team in the story of his horse child. The story goes that one day a man turned up in Asgard and said to the gods that he could build them an amazing wall that would hold back the invasion of the giants. Considering this the gods asked what the catch was and he asked for Freya's hand in marriage once complete. This was naturally not okay seeing as Freya was the most beautiful of all and a god so one of the gods seeing and opportunity said that if he could build the entire wall that circled the realm Asgard in a single season them he can have Freya, a feat definitely not possible for the man to complete in a lifetime let alone a season and surprisingly the man reluctantly agrees and the next day he turns up with this magnificent stallion and starts moving enormous amounts of stone not possible for any mortal even the mightiest and the horse pulled even larger stone to where the man ponder the wall. Freya is pretty pissed at this point as she was often used in bartering. As the season went on he picked up his pace until the day before his completion where the gods demand to know how this was possible when he reveals his true form as a giant who was willing to betray his kind for Freya's hand. She is megapissed now and goes to the only person she knows who could salvage this and reluctantly Loki who as usual was off doing his own thing said he will think of something. The next morning before the midday deadline the giant needed only to drop the last stone into place and he whistled for his horse to bring the last block. He waits and waits but he never comes, furious he heads down to the block to find it abandoned, in desperation using his giant strength he pushed the block up to the wall but as the timer struck zero, he was unable to lift the block into place without his trusty steed. Furious beyond belief he accuses the gods of killing his horse only for the sound of hooves echo up the hill until his stallion was galloping with a spring in his step. He turned to the gods and said he will be taking Freya; big mistake. Having only been held back due to Odin giving his word which he would never break, all it took was a nod to Thor and in an instant the giant was gone, splattered into giblets and staining the pure white wall with the Giants own blood. The gods put the block in place and celebrated their victory and their own genius by implementing the time limit. Freya however knew better than it being luck that they had won but Loki does not return. 9 months later, he remerges and returns to Asgard and he doesn't look happy, a small foal happily trotting after him. Freya kept her request of him quiet as to not reveal his part in the deception as she knew that if anyone were to as mention where he had been or been doing they would surely meet their end no matter who they were. Tldr: to win the wager Loki had to let a giant magical horse fuck him, giving birth his horse baby himself. Top lad.
I like it when you read the effects out, I feel it helps people that need confirmation of card effects along with knowing a card effect is very beneficial
This Archtype deserves more support cards based on the gods and other beings from Norse Mythology. Also, can you imagine the Nordic Archtype with the Valkyrie Archtype from Yugioh Duel Monsters?
Perfect timing. Just finished my rewatch of 5ds and wow was it better than i remember. The 3 gods were very fun in series to see in battle how hard it was to battle them Also wow how much vrian used from 5ds is insane now realizing it
Never liked them myself they’re annoying and difficult to kill in said anime. It doesn’t help that they’re all hideous. I really liked team taiyo and to a lesser extent team unicorn these guys just felt like a disappointment
@@triforceofcourage100 Hmm so you dislike them because they're difficult to kill in the anime like most boss monsters in Yugioh, and assuming that by hideous you mean their looks you also dislike them basically because they're ugly like a lot of monsters in yugioh. You must not like Yugioh very much then.
@@ninjah773 Yes, I dislike them because they’re hideous and don’t go away not unlike cockroaches. I was also not a fan of the guys using them. They lacked the charisma of team taiyo and the plotting of team unicorn. I don’t play the card game I just watch the shows
Gleipnir was a ribbon made of six things that are believed to have never existed, and don't exist because of Gleipnir's creation. The roots of a mountain/rock, sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, the spittle of a bird, a woman's beard and a cat's footfall. The first two chains, Leyding and Dromi, were easily broken by Fenrir, however upon seeing the ribbon he was suspicious. A commenter below explained what happened next. Its believed that's the origin of the name 'wolf joint' in the wrist There's also two sayings regarding Fenrir's chains 'Loose from Leyding' and 'Strike out of Dromi' which is a way of saying that you've achieved something through great effort Sorry for the info dump, I adore mythology and Norse is one of me favorites. I learnt a lot from this video, and you reminded me of Thor's constantly eaten goats (fine by me, I love goat)
You missed a fact or 2. Thor's hammer handle is in the shape of the rune associated with Thor & the shaft of Odin's spear is shaped in a similar manner. I really love these archetype & trivia vids. Keep it up. Are you planning to do an archetype &/or trivia vid on the pendulum magicians?
Here is a fun fact about Odin he once hung himself from a branch of the world tree and stabbed himself with his own spear Gungir and hung for nine days just to learn more magic
Fun facts about Mara (i use fun loosly, as one of the facts are..you'll know in a bit): in Buddist mythos, Mara is the polar opposite of Buddah, and tried to tempt him with sexual pleasures, and in the Persona series..it's a penis riding a spike chariot...yeah
will you ever do more archetype with stories behind them, seeing the prophesy and invoke archetype was really nice to imagine it in a D&D like campaign, I actually made some good NPCs thanks to you
Random fact #1. In the sequel movie son of the mask, it was Loki (played by Alan Cumming) who made the mask #2. In the Marvel comics, Santa Clause is real & also Asgadian. He lives in Elfheim
The funny thing if you translate the name of the Thor's goats. They translated to toothnasher and toothgrinder. And you thought this butchering his goats was werid
One forgotten Card in the Video is Gjallerhorn this is in the Nordic Myths the Horn of the God Heimdall with this he will Alert the gods that Ragnarök Begins and the effect this Card can only be activatet from the Gravejard equip it too an Aesir Monster and after 3 rounds after the playing of this Card deal burndamage equal to all your Monsters on the Field atk then banish this Card and all your Monsters
Me: *has read all the bone books and got to the Serpent that wraps it's whole body around the world to bite it's tail.* OMG THAT'S FROM NORSE MYTHOLOGY!!!
The Solemn Trap card archetype is also connected to the Aesir, as the card Solemn Authority can only targets Aesir Monsters and makes them unable to be targeted by other card effects while it's on the field.
Fun fact in Norse legend the Aesir were born of a great horned oxen. Loki was born from the jotuns, who were born from the great Jotun Ymir. Fenrir, yyormungundor, and Hella were born from Loki when Loki had a one night stand with a magic horse named Slauguvir (I am deeply sorry for the spelling, was just going off my memory,) Also part of why Loki is sometimes included with the Aesir, is due to a vague tale mentioning that Odin had made a blood pact with the Jotun Loki
Fun little bit of trivia with fenrir. Odin is told throigh like a fortune teller that fenrir will kill him amd the gods and ragnarok. So out kf fear he does this to him and tricks him in order for him to get chained up. But if he just been a friend of fenrir all of that probably wouldnt have happened and odin is sorta makin ragnarok happen instead of preventing it bc it cements fenrirs hatred for him
Fun fact: its possible Yggdrasil was named after the myth were Odin scarifices himself to himself to gain more knowledge and power. He did this my impaling himself onto Yggdrasil, Ygg is a name for Odin and drasil mean tree
Great review of the nordic related cards... it just could be great that includes a card that relates to Borr (Odin's Father) as some ultimate aesir god card (xyz, link ?? )
Konami usually don't print new cards for an archtype that has a background established in the anime, in the case of Aesir/nordic they gave us new nordic support but they probably won't print a new Aesir monster since in the anime there were only 3 (one for each member of team ragnarok)
One thing a lot of people don't get is that Norse gods are gods of more then just 1 thing, good example is the fact that we got like 3 war gods or something, if not more. Ones i remember anyway are Odin, Thor and Tyr.
0:16 We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde and sing and cry Valhalla, I am coming So glad I picked up this deck today! It was part of the Legendary Hero Deck box!
Come on... Where is Ratatoskr. I want my Messenger Squirrel. Me: I summon Ratatoskr Messenger of the Aiser! The Messages he brings is DEATH! (I mean Final!)
Okay, but what was that voice near the end? XD And, yeah, not reading every effect is a nice format. These videos are better suited to get to know the themes and aesthetic of an archetype, rather than how to deckbuild. Plus, it'd make things easier on you.
I know that this channel is more based on Yu-Gi-Oh but I think that it could be fun seeing you play and talk about other card games. Example: Cardfight Vanguard, Future card Buddyfight, ect...
Can't wait for these to get erratas. We got robbed with the Aesir cards and their crummy effects. I love mythological cards and I want these as a deck.
One day I hope we get a “Vider, Avenger of the Aesir” (not THAT type of avenger) where if one of the other gods are banished or maybe graveyard Vider gains there effects or some facsimile of them.
Just a fun little fact, when pronouncing Nordic words, when the is a J after another consonant, such as in the name Njord, the J is pronounced as a Y, so Njord, would be pronounced as Nyord. Actually, now that I think about it, most of the time in Nordic words a J is pronounced as a Y, as in Jotun(Yotun)
