Top Ten Cutest Yu-Gi-Oh Archetypes

- One of the funniest thing about Yugioh is the cutest little archetypes can take down the daunting amount of dragons, demons, forces of natures, and many more kinds of monsters, just by having good effects. We want to find the archetypes the embody the cute aesthetic the best, while still being viable options to take down the meta. Judgment Meter and KuBunnie join me for this one.

Solfachord definitely need to be on this list. Every one of their monsters has a chibi version in their artwork and it's all so cute. Especially cutia's expression in Solfachord Harmonia.
They were even featured in Konami’s Animation for Yugioh and they played the main theme.
I know I began learning the archetype just because I loved Fancia's artwork and her chibi!
Definitely deserved at least an honorable mention they are one of if not the cutest in my eyes. To me they're tied with ghostrick and rikka for cuteness. Cutia has cute in the name it fits 😅.
Fun fact the director of dragon maid started playing the dragon maid archetype. Also yes they go by rank laundry is the lowest.
Support someday!
@waiyon1951 I've had a lot of success with bystials. Plus with the right cards set up you can go from zero to 100 the same turn they knocked you down.
Plus its a very strong and easy to get deck in MD.
personally I love the fanart that pairs Eldlich and Laundry
it's just so funny to me to imagine a giant gold zombie dude hanging out as a father figure to the clumsy dragon girl
I looked this up, and they give Doom Dad energy. The Doom Guy teaching various cute characters proper fire arm training.
Well hey, they've gotta be SOMEONE's maids. Though I've always imagined them as maids for the Dragon Rulers
Fun fact, there was some experimentation between mixing Maldolche and Ghostrick in deckbuilding where the combo was called Trick or Treat.
Does it work?
@@TheDragonfriday Nowhere as well as people wanted it to even back then pre-Link and I really feel it was experimented with just for the pun and lols.
@@TheDragonfriday No, but we do it anyways because it's fun XD.
All cute and fun before melffy rabbi piloting zeus
Melfy Rabby, my favorite Eva pilot
the fact that Purrelys aren't here is a crime and I am going to riot
Justice for Purrelys
But how? Its a deck centered around rescuing, befriending and raising a cute little dog-cat creature.
@rockstickcomics EXACTLY! you adopt a cat dog thing, feed him, play with him, give him a bath, and he grows up depending what you do
You can see I made my mark on this video since there are a lot of bunnies! More bunnies, more! Also I need my Toons on the next list.
Bun-Ment Meter rebrand is inevitable
Bunny meter. The more bunnies, the more the meter fills and the happier judgment gets
You made your mark on all the top ten vids ^~^
who is the character in your icon? I've been wondering
@@MommyViper I am Bun-Bun Meter
34:21 If someone truly loved Judgement Meter, they'd propose with that deck.
Reminder that Frightfurs are Edge Imps wearing the mutilated husks of Fluffals
This why I love batteryman , desk bots , appliancsors , or anything small but hit hard .
No mention of Aquaactress, not even honorables. I'm in shambles 😭
Granted, literally only three monsters, but still!
I have a soft spot for Baby Tiragon
Fluffals/frightfurs are one of my favorite archetypes. And I totally agree, they're totally cute. Gives off mimikyu vibes 😅
Also, I had no idea about the Li-La Ash Blossom cosplay on Live Twin Channel... whenever I play I'm too focused on what the cards are doing to look at the art. Thank you cute expert 😮😂
Good comparison! I go into more detail about each monster or costume on the background in my "Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Card Backstories (Vol. 7)" so check that out if you want a deeper dive into everything going on in these cards. It's amazing how much detail they packed in!
@@MrTopTenList what about purrley and aquaactress archetypes
Some of the Japanese art is actually pretty creepy, the censored blades made them weirdly cuter.
This was a good list. Madolche and Melffy are super cute. One archetype I would like for you guys to definitely consider though is Performapals/Performages. Even since they came out I have been obsessed with them. It’s actually quite funny being beat by circus animals.
Funny thing for me is I just got done with my first OTS with my Mikanko deck.
Didn't win but it segways into this topic. Even when you splash in other big and scary or cool looking monsters with more cute ones it ends up making cute or fun ideas for them.
Example for me was my Mikanko and Flame Swordsmen deck. It synergises with the equip aspect to the Mikanko's, especially Ha-Re and you can think of it as if the Mikanko girls can't do it alone because your opponent is countering you by not having a monster to run into, you have a back up of warriors who protect the girls during their training. That or have Kaiju's supporting them as summons to fight and contain or have the girls transform into mecha when you use them to turn into the XYZ Armored series of cards, with Dark Lancer even working with Mikanko's equip gameplay style since his effect activates based on your monsters getting an equip of some kind.
Then you have stuff like Mellfy's into Zeus, which is even referenced in the Chronicel's shorts. Going from Melffy's short into Zeus like in the card game, with peopoe drawing them or memeing the Melffy's are piloting Zeus or he's Melffy Daddy to contrast Melffy Mommy whose backing up his kids when they need to beat up the bad guys.
Even the current meta deck of the Fire Kings/Snake Eyes or Snake Eyes/Rescue Ace has cute concepts like art of Diabellstar with a firefighter hat or Promethean Princess holding Ponix in her hands with a happy smile. Or some meme images of the Dragon Maid girls given guns, Laundry looking really cute holding her gun or the Japanese memes with her and Eldlitch.
Dragon Maid with Buster Bladers whole arc with what he goes through with Welp where in the end he takes in other dragons and have them work at a house for a home as the mastwr of the places as he goes of galavanting could even be a cute story.
Can I also say it is insane that Konami has been sitting on a literal goldmine of marketable merch/media with all these different archetypes and such that they just... DIDN'T USE till recently? We only just started getting Archetype focused manga with Sky Strikers and now Magistus. Kitchen Dragon Maid is getting a figure along with Ash, they are starting to make more plushies removed from the original anime archetypes.
Even Rush Duels have completely different archetypes original to it like the Dice Key archetype where the name is a pun on the Japanese word Daisuki for "I love you". With a similar art style to Panty and Stocking.
The art notes and sketches that provide lore that get shown really show just how much stuff Konami could make and in turn make mad money in return. Even in the more serious archetypes they also have marketable characters with in for cute or cool. Gold Pride with Captain Carrie and Rollerballer, Carrie having a easy love story with Leon you could do. Vanquish Soul having Mad Love and Pluton being fun and wacky with Pluton being the show art for "Continue?" as his more.defeated goop form while Mad Love is the decks weird and funny setup charcter with stuff like Pantera having her little hair twirl in Stake Your Soul shows the little character details they add to characters. Albaz and Ecclessia having their little moments and so on. Charmers as well is an OG cute girls doing magic (plus Dharc) who took years to get there own true deck to call there own or playstyle and staple of counter or monotype decks with the Links.
It is insane it took this long for Konami to even think to market stuff like this in general honestly. This is just scratching the surface to.
You forgot the cuddliest of archetypes
Cubics
If I did this list with the cohosts from my other videos, they would have definitely been pitched. That and Earth Machines.
@@MrTopTenList wheres purrley archetypes
I love the Ghostricks! They are my favorite.
Cute list!❤❤ Also that back drop artist work is so beautiful! Look forward to see more!❤
I know that you said you will very likely to make a second video but I still feel disappointed that Weather Painters aren't on the list. When I first saw their art when I played their solo mode on MD I absolutely fell in love with them.
Cuz it's below the cut, everyone follow Ku on twitter twitter.com/KuBunnie and twitch: www.twitch.tv/kubunnie
love this! All your guest bring good insight and call out good things on the art :D
Glad to hear it! Ku is a talented artist and I'm glad we could talk in more depth about the designs.
Purrely, i imagine the happyness OTK is them sharing their big meal with the opponent before playing with them until their exhausted.
I'm a casual player who made a Melffy Ojama deck and I headcanon the Ojama's trying their best to look cool and defend the Melffy in a big brother kinda way but always bumbling through it. But the Melffy just really value and look up to them and think they're cool no matter what they do. Which in turn for me have made both decks even more adorable.
I love how creative yugioh can be with the cards.
the background was so wholesome thank you ku for it
If this franchise and Pokemon has taught me anything is that having a balance of
cute and cool monsters is a great way to appeal to different audiences. So never
underestimate the power of cute monster designs.
It's kind of fitting honestly that Laundry isn't actually all that useful in dragonmaid decks themselves. Functionally she's just kind of redundant and worse than parlor or kitchen who let you actively pick what you want to send to the graveyard. However flavor wise that shows how she's more clumsy and inexperienced than the others, since she'll potentially dump your staples
At least is consistent with her design, instead of doing her work properly as parlor and kitchen, she's so clumsy that she accidentally "drops" 3 of your cards into the gy, as she does with the laundry in her artwork, then, trying to fix her mistake, uses all her power (transforms into her dragon form) and returns a card to the deck.
The cutest card is Melffy Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder
19:31 Oh wow, I have not heard this theme song for ages, thank you for that little call back! I personally feel that the OG Tom and Jerry was a better cartoon, but I have a soft spot for this too.
I love when J.M. is high off cuteness. So much manic! Much silly! Many happiness!💛
Thanks!
Alright yeah, i can't wait for the second video since for some reason I like the gunkan cards as well. Looking at food that looks like war ships somehow makes me happy, i would love to see more cards like that since we probably won't get a gunkan support
Bruh god damn PLEASE equalize the audio. Ur audio level is good and then the other two start talking and blow my speakers out
Don't feel bad for Frightfurs. With all the cards that bring the Fluffals and Edge Imps back after their fusion is destroyed, its pretty clear that they live through a cycle and probably dont feel any pain or discomfort.
A cute deck I love play since years now is Melffy, with some low level beast and the spell that special 3 from deck is really strong, could be mix with Tri brigade at the time but even pure is pretty good
Top 10 weirdest plants in Yu-Gi-Oh
Bean soldier and Jerry Beans Man
Traptrix Sera (cheeky little mf)
I still love how Melffy to Zeus was referenced by the animation reel.
There’s so many cute little guys in Yugioh, you could make a second channel’s worth of videos about cute cards
Thank you for doing Melfy archetype as #1 in this video. THEY ARE THE CUTEST EVER I'M PLANNING ON BUYING A DECK ALSO OF THEM❤❤❤
Vernusylph makes me think of peter rabbit. That background art is also really nice, it manages to be vibrant with lots of colors, but is also soft and controlled to prevent it from being messy. I would be willing to attend a lecture on color theory and art from kubunnie. They are definitely an experienced artist
Now that you mention it, I totally see it! And Ku has a great art mind. They do stream art on Twitch on weekends usually, so if you're ever interested, you can see them talk/write about art live: www.twitch.tv/kubunnie
Man, I really need to subscribe to judgment meter
Yes, please!
I volunteer to be added to the Live Twins archetype!
Live Triplets
Ghostricks are still my favorite for the theme and for their play style. Plus you can win the game through different methods depending on how you setup your deck.
Top 10 weirdest Tuner monsters
The writer of Miss K Dragon maid has built a dragon maid deck.
Madolche Cruffsant's head seems so empty and I love that
What do you mean Tindangle didn't make it to the list? Had you seen how cute their artwork is? Man, beauty is a subjective term for sure
Fluffals are amazing.
Is it funny I still think of the Frightfur ones as cute?
Dragon maid archetype is obviously based on Miss Kobayashi’s dragon maid
Just started the video. Currently on Traptrix watch.
6:20 Live Twins is a good inclusion that never crossed my mind, but Traptrix still clears. It’s probably gonna be a little later in the video.
10:30 Ghostrick is another obvious pick. Nekomusume is a top 10 cutest card art’s imo, but still no Traptrix.
13:43 Rikka has its own fair share of cute (and funny) cards, but i would classify it as a beautifully graceful rather than explicitly cute. But man, it’s taking a minute to get to Traptrix.
16:14 Love Prank Kids. They are “Just some little guys” incarnate.
19:40 Ah so Traptrix is gonna be in the top 5? They deserve nothing less…
22:48 Traptrix is top 3, for sure! Right?
26:29 Alright so we have all the thumbnail picks out of the way. This leaves Traptrix as a possibility. I mustn’t lose hope.
29:16 Oh God. I almost threw up in my mouth. M-Maybe Traptrix is number 1? Yea… Yes that has to be it. They wouldn’t just toss Traptrix into the honorable mentions.
33:13 …Next video.
Feel ya
I get it
I think traptrix wasn't included because they are more of pretty and scary since they have monstrous parts within them. Like rikka being beautiful and elegant traptrix was the negative being beautiful and dangerous not really a cute thing
@@Wenzan3pm I personally think they are more cute than “beautiful” but we’re just getting semantical at that point xd
@@Wenzan3pm idk what you're on have you seen mantis? She's so cute
Why does the fluffal archetype remind me of the bear from imaginary
J.M. knows about ostriches and poptarts! That adorably mischievous giggle says it all, and I love it soooo much! Keep giggling J.M., WE get it!😏😂
Thanks!
This was a very nice Topic, has Vol. 2 come out yet? If not, I will look forward to it.
I want an harem anime of fallen of albaz with the dragon maids archtype
That would be comedy gold I'm imagining Laundry calling Albaz Papa and Ecclesia keeps trying to get Laundry to call her Mama
Gunkan suships are definitely cute and should’ve been on this list
As a Purrely and Weather Painter player I'm disappointed.
It would be funny if this wasn’t a Judgement Meter episode.
I would be devastated
Don't know how you didn't include purrely but besides that. Need part 2 asap!
I just really love how Live/Evil Twins have the ⭐🌟 in the titles. Makes you feel like the cards can almost come to life.
I like Ghostrick and Rikka!
As a Dragonmaid player on Master Duel, yes, everything about this, yes.
I find the Crystal Beasts to be heliodorable, myself; especially Ruby Carbuncle. They may still be realistic anime-fied animals; with the exception of Carbuncle, Pegasus, and Dragon obviously being mythical creatures and not "real" animals; but I still love them all. I love animals in gemerald, and being a huge mythology nerd, of quartz that includes mythical animals. They're just all lovely and majestic in their own ways. And I couldn't resist making some gem puns in the writing of this comment to fit the archetype, lol.
As for the Fluffals, of course one could have totally made a "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my," joke in that entry since they also have a tiger in their lineup, but I suppose it is overdone, lol.
If there's a second video, I hope to see Nemleria. The deck basically aims to put a little girl to sleep and then she dreams of sweets.
22:53 I think the Snake Eyes cards are intended to be the next spotlight cards, with Poplar as the cute one. The archetype is very meta popular right now (at least in Master Duel), and Diabellstar and Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon have Dark Magician and Blue Eyes stats (and "eyes dragon" naming scheme, in the case of the latter).
Purrely will top the next list in calling it now
I love staring contest. It's so cute and funny xD
Floow really is one of the cutest stories and artworks
SO Happy to see 2 of my main Archetypes: Dragonmaids & Melffy being so high up on the list! I'll only play them as pure builds, unless I'm using Cat Shark with Joyous Melffy to OTK someone. BUT I would definitely love to see them get more support like a Melffy Link monster and Field Spell as well as Chamber's Dragon form since I've been waiting since 2020. KONAMI PLEASE MAKE THEM!!!
My favorite cute archetype of this game is Purrely. They're so cute, that I had to make deck(s) of them.
Amazing video 😊❤
Thank you!
Awww... kawaii... and how would you feel about making any of these Irish-themed topics since your next project's gonna be planned for near St. Patrick's Day?
What if Irish Folklore was a Fighting Game
Top Ten Irish Fighting Game Characters
Top Ten Irish Anime Characters
Top Ten Fairies From Irish Folklore
Also KuBunnie, thanks for mentioning a Dullahan in this video which may or may not foreshadow any future St. Patrick's Day-themed video because the Dullahan is a well known type of Irish folklore fairy that's commonly depicted without a head on the rest of its body.
Evil Twin Lil-La alternate art is my nominee for best GTS perspective on a card, competing only against classics like Guarded Treasure and Transcendent Wings.
I made several of these decks because they were cute. The first time i saw Madloche Cruffsant, i built the deck before i even knew what the deck did. Fluffals were my first deck, but it was less because of the fluffals and more because of what they turn into.
When I built my beast deck (before Melffys) it was because I saw Baby Racoon Ponpoko. I built Ghostricks to, but it was because I liked their "Peek-a-boo" gimmick. And Prank-kids reminded me of a cross between Steven Universe, Powerpuff Girls, and Cuphead
I have lost to Melfies once. It was my most embarassing defeat ever.
I wonder if that was my sister. She's a Melffy main, and even though she doesn't use hand traps or AA-Zeus, she seems to always win with them lol
You probably lost to me then because I've never met another human being that actually plays Melffys pure.
Easily the most underrated deck ever no one respects it till the cuteness kicks their butts.
As someone who plays strictly mono beast Melffy, YEEEEEES~
I admit, when I got close to the end of this video, I kinda gave up hope that Vernusylph would be in the video, so imagine how happy I was to see them at #2
Thank god I’m not the only person who picks decks based on cuteness alone. Prob why I’ve mained Toons for 5+ years :)
My mind immediately went to Naturias and Melffys.
Live twins are actually my deck I use all the time live twin spright is such a good deck when I go to my local tournament ms
I hesitated to nominate rikka because I considered them more "beautiful" and "elegant" than "cute", but I'm glad they made it to the list, I love the archetype. I enjoy to flex my royal rare konkon and teardrop on md from time to time, lol.
Mokey Mokey is still #1 when it comes to cuteness. Kuribohs are a close second.
Rikka on Artwork: *Elegant women in dresses inspired by flowers*
Rikkas in game: "welcome to the rice field, mother f-"
Madolches in artwork: *magical dolls dedicated to sweets and friendship*
Madolches in game: *Blood curling screams as Queen Tiraramasu detaches materials*
Melffies in artwork: *cute animals playing and living life*
Melffies in game: *Morphs into a towering mech*
Prank-Kids in artwork: *kids banning together to cause mayhem*
Prank-Kids in game: *...Accurate representation*
Dragon Maid in Artwork: *anime dragon girls cleaning a mansion*
Dragon Maid in game: *girls fumble on the battle field trying to get their boss out*
25:47 I second this request, where is it Konami? You have one to house and then made chamber without one, what the heck man?
if the weather is not no. 1 we gon throw hands
Madolche 3rd is fine for me, good list.
For the prank kids, they also remind me of Codename: Kids Next Door
I don't disagree with you
@JudgmentMeter my favorite is the maids. Played that ever since it came out. And the video was right that the archetype is based a bit on Miss Kobayashi.
Well, if Dragon Maids are on the table, I'm sure the Magician Girls based on fruit pies could be nominated for a follow-up. I guess depending on how you look at it, Dustons could be considered "ugly-cute" - it's how some people describe things like pugs, for example. Also, the Dustons were used as a pattern for a bedsheet or blanket or something in Ojama Pajama. I'm sure that counts for... something.
The Frog archetype is pretty cutesy, I guess. Ronintoadin and Mochi Frog (I refuse to call it "Toadally Awesome") seem to fit, even if D3S frog is kind of a miss, and Flip Flop Frog is... horrifying.
Also, how did this list get made without the Penguin archetype? Just look at Penguin Brave. It's a bunch of silly penguins in costumes. I guess they probably have the skills that go with the costumes, but they look like a bunch of penguins playing dress-up.
we need a chamer lore anime and twins anime KONAMI DO YOU HATE MONEY THIS WILL PRINT IT
"top ten yu gi oh archetypes"
oh boy, we're gonna see crazy shit...
"by cuteness"
nevermind, there's gonna be blood. them's fightin' words.
So fitting judgement meter is here. Plus I just knew she had to appear
Happy to be here
Look at these little guys
Poor Thawing Glaciers....he is such a mood.
Came for the live twins, stayed for the live twins, and loved the melffies, damm they are so cute 😔😔
Completely unrelated, but an aesthetic I think you guys and Judgement specifically is Valkyrie with it's old 80's/90's anime aesthetic. Time Goddess alone looks like an alt design for a teenage looking Sasami.
Ohhh! Agreed
i sarted playing a madolche deck in legacy of the duelist because i wanted a deck that focused on keeping monsters out of the graveyard and man i just feel in love with them so hard. it makes me wanrt to like buy the cards and take the to tournaments irl.
I just noticed something the dragon version of the dragon maids' last part of their name is their task scrambled.
Nurse=Ernus
Laundry=Nudyarl
Parlor=Lopar
Edit: he mentioned it in the video. I wrote this before I heard him say it.

19:28 I’m reminded of the loony toons as kids show whose name escapes me.
Tiny Toon Adventures?
@@enlongjones2394No, the one literally called “Baby Looney Tunes”.
Chucky would definitely play frightfur 😂
listen, you don't understand, a reason i QUIT paper Yugioh (no joke) "Hero kid" was not a HERO card, I won't be able to play my favorite card darn it.
For those who prefer the kid sidekick, I'm not weird :(
