Waitaminute… Strong female character who looks like a witch? Equips demonic looking weapons? Has a rival wearing white? Summons a kaiju-looking beast for support?
Is this a Bayonetta reference?
JEANNE!
I mean the whole White Woods archetype is just 1 to 1 Bayonetta Origins
It's Bayonetta mixed with Blazblue.
Diabellstar is Ragna The Bloodedge as a girl, the Goblin Bikers are a Taokaka/Team Rocket type that wants to make money off her bounty like Ragna and they now added a Bayonetta rival charcter in Diablleze and both have the Cereza backstory from the Switch side game.
way better design though
Yes, yes I fact it is lol
That intro was Wicked.
I never noticed that Diabell's eyes match with Asteria's and Risette's. I didn't expect the idea of a yet unknown enemy to the story, but it does *kinda* work with how much Bayonetta blood is in this story so far.
Though I do think that Diabellze isn't just being controlled, but was lured and is, on some level, acting of her own accord. She's actively hiding her true nature from everyone, and that doesn't feel like something a character that's being controlled would do. Plus her being the only other Illusion monster in the story so far feels like an indication that she's less than trustworthy.
First minute and 15 seconds, literal goosebumps... Production has clearly improved 10-fold, congrats bro
Diabellze proving Konami just doesn't want Pendulums to exist anymore.
Let me play pure Igknights and Vaylantz in peace😭
@@Noxarayou're cool
The supreme king will rise with even more support
Except for the single Pendulum archetypes, like the one with a bed.
@@Bezaliel13 Numeralia
White Woods is such a cool archetype. I really hope that they add enough cards to make it possible to play a fully archetypal White Woods deck.
It might be a reach, but while we are on the topic of abrahamic religion. The name Diabellze reminds me of Beelzebub, a bastardization of the god Baal ze Bul taken from a different religion and turnt into a demon. Meanwhile Diabellstar reminds me of the Morning Star, which was Lucifers nickname before becoming a demon. So you have Diabellstar who has the name of a well known demon BEFORE turning into one, and Diabellze who has the name of a well known demon AFTER turning into one
"Zebul" is one word ("Ba'al Zevul", Hebrew: "Lord of the Flies")
That's super interesting and I didn't pick up on that. I love that theming so much too
It's not a reach. BelleStarmon is the Digimon predecessor to this card, and the female version of Beelzemon, of course named after Beelzebub.
@@yusheitslv100 funny enough, this was based on his title of "ba'al zephon", or lord of mount Zephon
As for different religion, kinda? It's from the caanites, who are the ancestors of the later jews. The abrahamic God is the later form of a storm God, even keeping his name of Yaweh
Been waiting for this, thanks for the vid. Side note, notice how Diabell has horns on her head that is very similar to Diabellstar omen mask.
Flamberge might just be a poplar that ate a dragon
Yeah
Flameberge is Poplars normal big form without Diabellstar as a master/controller.
@@RavenCloak13 that also works. So snakeye diabellestar is more "flamberge plus crazybeast" then "poplar plus crazy beast"
Honestly my take on sinful spoils struggle is that crazy beast is in some way a sinful spoils itself, which is why Poplar can eat it like that, it eats Diabellstar's magic so much it turned pink, so it absorbing all of crazy beast and taking parts of it when it evolved must mean (to me) that crazy beast is part sinful spoils
as for the white woods, I just think that Diabell is the evil one lol, i always saw it as she was the shadow, because she has the shadow in her artwork, and it seemingly infecting the other spellcasters, enough that it turn them into sinful spoils and gave asteria and risette they're powers (maybe because of the apple? or something else? unsure of that for now)
I really am curious how this story will go with diabellstar and the goblins, I'm a little bit coping but i could see them, seeing that diabellstar was struggling and was working hard, that the posters were wrong about her and they decide to help her out from now one, they're just too silly to be removed now
From the valuable book ex4:
"Goblin’s Crazy Beast
For one reason or another, swallowed the “Sinful Spoils Aitone” that Gobonga acquired as a result of a great adventure was swallowed…."
So the crazy beast swallowed some sinful spoil, which was why poplar reacted to it.
For diabell, the thing that stands out to me is that the rune symbol in the green/purple rune thing she has in her hand is also like the source of the shadows on the spell/trap cards, implying she's a villain.
We also see the symbol on the ground in rcia's art so maybe it just stands for the power of the woods as a whole though?
Diabellze just staring at Diabellstar when they have the forbidden fruit is such a nice touch
after Nova mention about the evil within the apple, You can see that the staff holding on of diabellze has the apple in it. Maybe that's how she is being manipulated and trying to hunt diabellstar
Like Bayonetta mixed with Wicked in the eyes of Dr. Seuss who ate the Forbidden Fruit of Knowledge.
A bone-chilling intro. 😎
And with a pet krby
I LOVED this video!! Thank you for all the hard work you put in these videos!
I feel like Diabell is the great evil of the story. You pointed it out on Whispers that the White Woods are now black. And while the coloration in the artwork is important, the black vines coming off Diabell looks to similar to Whispers background. It also doesn't help that in Woes, Diabell's insignia is in the darkness of the forest.
What I imagine happened is that the two students, whether in youthful rebellion or blind innocents, both ate of the same apple. These two gave Diabell her form. The mentors battled to release their students at the cost of turning themselves into Sinful Spoils. The power of Diabell was split in two, and where Asteria mourned the loss of her mentor, Risette was addicted to the power and sought to bring them back as one. Cut to the Snake Eyes events. Asteria hoped for a way to end Diabell, but all she got was Poplar. She wasn't sure what to do until the conflict with the goblins happened, and now she realized that she now has a Kirby. But before Asteria can use this new discovery, Risette has to come in and ruin everything. Which ends this theory session for now.
Worth noting is that we can see diabell's insignia watching asteria and rizette, and on the ground near rcia and silve.
That might mean diabell "had her eyes" on the two of them as like a way to free herself
The intro is so good and the story is so deep❤❤❤
The crazy thing is that this is all somehow a Wicked reference!
The intro was so good I forgot I was mad abt this video not being out yet lololol
Bro it's the behelit all over again 😭
That was one sick wicked good opening right there
The Intro is a 15 of 10 Stars. You are the best
This came from Germany. Golden Nova can reach everyone in every Country in this world
I can't wait to see what comes next.
26 minutes in and i swear this man is doing everything to not name the CENTUR-ION'S
For the sake of context:
you make the level 8 diabell synchro,
bag a spell/trap from the gy and then
you return the level 6 synchro tuner from the gy to SS one of your level4 tuner's going into CENTUR-ION AUXILIA
whom can search the field spell and gets you srarted on the centurion combo withiut needing a nirmal summon
Also asteria can SS Centur-ion Primera geting you srarted.
Or like runicks, an archtype consisting of spells that don't mind being discarded as well as hugin which can trigger all your white woods stuff.
But naaah let's use creature swap to turn this into a bad OTK deck.
Like yeah double piercing damage is pretty good but the archtype is strong enough without it, it's far from the strongest effect on these cards
The younger versions of diabellze and diabellastar might give hints to motives
Diabellze has the chains present on her art and a smile, she might be one of those characters that is out for power but she remains pretty to make people trust her more
For diabellastar, she has the studious good student vibe in younger art but the older art, she gives off slacker with some pictures but its kind of a "good student gave it up after events in life situation
I like this idea. Diabellze being the "friendly" one hiding ulterior motives, and Diabelle, being the studious one who after everything went wrong, plays the "bad girl" because she doesn't want to get burned again.
The opening poem was fire.
Love the aesthetics of this archetype, hope the lore keeps continuing in its current quality.
Aaaah! I was hoping that maybe i could find some synergy between these and Witchcrafters, but I think that difference between DISCARDING 1 spell card and SENDING 1 spell/trap is gonna cause issue!
Such an amazing intro!
Your intro game is on point
30:35 not the only person here who has said it but is this archetype based on Bayonetta? You also have each of the main witches having a differently coloured magic shown in one eye, a hint of a time skip, angels and demons, I haven’t even PLAYED the Bayonetta games and have only seen plot summaries
So I know they don’t have a ton of synergies, but I like the idea of white woods/chaos synchro, using cards like chaos witch, and chaos mirage dragon to make big and powerful light/dark synchro boss monsters. While it’s not amazing, I still wanna build it because I think it’ll be fun
Cant wait to see the next archetype in this story
2:59 Konami just hates pendulums 14:04 i thought it was more a case of "the heated rivals meet in the present", and we suddenly jump to see their past to fill in the gaps for the audience
As powerful as Snake-Eyes is currently, it’s exciting to see the White Woods lore get tied into Diabellstar’s story.
The Synchro based strategy of White Woods is also pretty interesting.
Subbed to the channel a while back and I really like all of the lore explanations and also the archetype gameplay and techs that can be used! Also, the other video series like progression polls are also fun to watch!
I love these lore videos keep them up when I first saw the card art what does archetype it had me thinking more of a German fairy tail or a folklore story warning children about a forbidden Forest
Immediately noticed that Forest Temple. OoT goated.
Diabellstar, Platinum Games' Bayonetta, and Digimon's BelleStarmon. Japan really seems to like connections between American outlaw Belle Star and the devil, huh?
I was sticking Revue Girl (i think she's a performapal) to go into Fortune Lady Every as spellcaster DPE with fundamental differences
Oh boy, cant wait for another archetype named Black Woods
8:32 Whispers of the Sinful Spoils, alongside the other White Woods spells, only resets itself if it was sent to activate an effect, which means it only resets itself with Diabellstar's effect to revive on the opponent's turn. If you send it to special summon Diabellstar from the hand, you cannot reset it, since Diabellstar doesn't activate.
But her second effect does, right?
@@sopanhaleng8644 Yeah, I said as much in my comment. The effect to revive on the opponent's turn activates, so you can send Whispers (or any other White Woods S/T) as cost in that instance, and then reset them.
@@JamesNintendoTurd oh sorry, I didn't read properly
@@JamesNintendoTurdthat effects sends for effect not cost so actually none of star's effects let you reset it
@@tcoren1 huh, guess I misremembered Diabellstar's effect. You are right, none of her effects reset the cards.
lore! lore! lore!
Wow, that is much more enticing than originally thought.
Does the aesthetic of white woods remind anyone else of the Bayonetta prequel "Cereza and the lost Demon"?
Either way, if Poplar "evolves" after absorbing another creature via its snake-like unhinged undertow-jaw, then what had it consumed to become Flamberge Dragon?
The black roots corrupting the temple perhaps?
Or something else entirely?
(Assuming of course, that Flamberge Dragon is indeed Poplar in vicious evolved form.)
It is also true, that colors being an important reference point here.
Diabellstar having inherited the lime green and Diabellze having taken on the blue-violet.
This is very visible in either of their hair's highlights.
Though I am not so sure, if Ms. Diabellstar hasn't received/taken on anything else, seeing as she sports red highlights as well.
Finally, I find it somewhat odd that Rcia's background art is the only one of the main deck monsters, that does not show any of the red fruits.
Thank you Nova, now I am way more interested in white woods than before.
I think the monster is what Diabelke has in her left hand. It reminds me of a cage
Sad that you didn’t mention that Runick is a great engine for White Woods since Hugin is a level 2 that can trigger the spell/traps effects to set themselves once they go to the GY and with Geri + any level 6 you can make full power chaos angel
I see no one had noticed the eyes everywhere. Snake eye (all monsters with one eye), goblin bikers have an eye like symbol on their bikes, White woods/forest have the entity the background with an eye watching them on every card.
Meaning that Diabell is possessed by something and possibly sent her power to the children
So watch for the next theme to have creepy eyes on it.
Also soooooo many Bayonetta references. Witch children from centuries ago, left eye and right eye with special powers. Just saying, I love it.
Diabell has that same symbol on her rune and on her tentacle hand so maybe she's the one watching?
@@tcoren1 she was watching herself as a child? Or watching the goblins and yet they took poplar?
@@PendBestDeck151 diabell. Not star
@@tcoren1 it's 4 am lol I completely misread that. Yeah I think Diabell. Or some entity that's possessing Diabell, that could be it's signature.
I just figured out where Rciela gets her name. It’s from murciélago, the Spanish word for “bat”.
Ulquiorra Schiffer: ...of course
I wasn't expecting Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh! to both have Belle Star cards.
For the record, going by the kana, diabellze is pronounced (at least in japanese) as diabell-ze, not diabell-z.
A cute nod to her human name being rizette.
Similar to how asteria is like greek for star
Im pretty sure the snake eye is the white woods and the original sin. Child diabelleze messed with it which cases the white woods to set ablaze and what are white tree monsters we know? The snake eye monsters. Pretty sure there was just a time skip instead of just unnatural aging especially when you consider that diabelstar is a wanter criminal.
After all the only 2 cards with "original sin" are diabelleze and original sinful spoils which shows a snake-eye surronded by white branches
Is there a reason you don't reference the valuable book EX4?
Translation already existed when you uploaded your video and it covers the diabellstar lore up to the star/ze clash.
Like you asked if the goblin bikers also used sinful spoils, the answer is right in the book!
Not enough is mentioned about the doggos being good boys here.
I think the cane/interior coat details for Diabellze are a hint as to whatever the big bad of this story is
Diablo + Belle, Demon (Demonic) Beauty 🤯
The Iris Swordsoul is *right there*
Also Diabestella has an apple from the forest on her belt and she is holding one that is on her staff
I forgot Illusion monsters were a thing.
This whole archetype give me Resident Evil Village vibes.
The White Wood spell/traps really remind me of the art style of Madoka Magica witches
All the gold in this world shall be mine, I don’t care if those apples are cursed, I shall have all of them, and not only that, I will collect all the sinful spoils myself, those diabell twins won’t stop me for completing my mission of getting those sinful spoils!!!!
These are witches we're talking about: the events at the white forest probably happened centuries ago
Struggle's art is more like Crazy Beast and Poplar having a beam struggle, not Poplar trying to eat Crazy Beast
….maybe we get Snake Eyes Flamberge Beast Level 8 fiend, or something
also dont forget about Asteria's official konami title
the curse defying witch
but what is the curse she is defying?
They should add this to dyel links adn master duel
all this is totally inspired by Madoka Magica, right? i mean, they literally have soul gems and they corrupt into witches
New Witches in the woods.
Archetyepe: *Exists*
GoldenNova: You can add Branded to this
In all seriousness, I am loving this storyline, and your storytelling remains as phenomenal as ever.
See, what I like about this is that you're right.
8:49 irony incoming 😂
Morrian is probably Diabelle
This archetype looks really really cool. Shame it's gonna be like $300 when it comes to the TCG
So poplar is kirby
To have the name the original sin keeper I don’t think that was a title passed down from there mentor in the card beware the white woods it one of the kids & I put my money on that person being Risetite because in the character art she gets upset when no one wants to play with her & go off into the woods & let something free. & I been waiting on you to tell this story love your lore work💪🏾💪🏾
That's kind of what I think when ya look at the artwork between each of the cards.
in the OCG, Diabellze name is "Diabellze of the Original Sin". TCG just added the keeper part because thier localization team is retarded
@@6210classick First off, classy use of a slur there.
Secondly adding a title like keeper to that name for language purposes is fine on it's own, it's the implied changing of meaning that's the issue.
Am I the only one that gets Madoka Magica witch labyrinth vibes from the White Woods spells?
Getting lots of Bayonetta vibes.
maybe mix them with witch crafter somehow?
those are better than every Witchcrafter card combined
I’m ngl, and maybe this is because I’m so just exhausted with Yugioh with how disappointing trickstars support was, how I’ve only been hyped for the melodious, memento and ritual beast support this year, and just the year of fire in general, but I don’t really care for the diabel storyline. Albaz started out interesting from the very beginning and I was hooked on it from that point even if I thought the decks themselves where hella boring but this was just doesn’t have the same thrill. Maybe it’s because diabel and snake eye are so broken from the start or maybe its because none of the current decks feel unique in any form but the story line itself feels so so slow which I’m usually good at handling, I play a lot of slow starting vns, but nothing has actually enticed me to want to see what diabel is up to compared to albaz
That's fair, Albaz dropped archetypes like no tomorrow, so it felt way faster, and Visas gave us multiple top-tier decks, while they have gone slower in release for Diabell, but I really can't wait to see what the storylines link and Fusion archetypes will be 😄
fish
I saw these cards can combine well with Shaddoll... I really hope they don't become another horribly built and obnoxious deck like Snake Eye is
No mention of centur-ion in tech pick....
32:55 That reminds me of the legend of Adam and Eve. In that story, Eve was tempted to take a bite from the forbidden fruit (the apple of Eden) by a snake that hid himself somewhere around the tree.
I can’t believe he forgot to mention that key card that thrusted the deck into tier zero status smh
Wait is this story just like Adam and eve from bible.
Or in this case: Adanne and Eve
The 2 kids are lilith and eve diabel is the devil,
So,... ... yuri?
