ok, actually admittedly three of the cards here have pretty interesting explanations. - Hungry Burger being a warrior seems to be a bit of a joke. See, warriors are classified since they can fight, and our burger here "fights hunger" - Skull Guardian being summoned by "Novox's Prayer" make sense since its lore is that it's a guardian that prevents cheating. The blue-haired girl in the ritual isn't the Guardian, she's a girl praying for him - Chakra and its ritual doesnt make sense at first glance, until you realize the ritual spell shows a woman being offered to summon Chakra
Ritual summon mechanic back then was actually great for the game. Yeah they were glorified beatsticks outside of relinquished. But they offered a means of special summoning back when it was actually rare. It added a bit of speed to the game and allowed one to comeback in a duel. By being able to drop a big monster without having to only tribute from the field.
@@scantyer But what if you're in a position where u need a big monster now. And have no tributes on field for summoned skull? You can ritual summon a big monster.
@@scantyer Tribute from hand. And you can use 1 monster if you have a high level one that meets the level requirement. The main flaw with ritual summon was the lack of search cards for them to make it consistent.
Just recently discovered your channel and I will say I really enjoy your Yu-Gi-Oh videos, as it's pretty rare to youtubers who make Yu-Gi-Oh content that isn't about the competitive play.
Glad you enjoyed it! We love to take a look at all the aspects of the game and we're always happy to hear that people like our aesthetic looks rather than competitive looks (both are good of course)
I actually used Fortress Whale in my Neo Daedalus + Mermail/Atlantean's deck once Pre-Preparation of Rights came out. Being able to +1 with a Water Monster and overlay with another Level 7 Water for Abyssgaios was great.
In lore doriado is said to be the teacher of the 4 original charmers hiita wynn eria and aussa given that she is also fire wind water and earth, I always found that backstory interesting
same, thats why I got so interested in Charmers so much. Idk why Konami didnt try to put Doriado in the Charmer structure deck and make her as a boss monster for them with a new retrain
I remember back in high school I always had Carb Turtle in my deck trying to make it some op card that would win all my duels since it was the best ritual card I had than, I don’t think I every manage to summon it once though that could’ve been because of bad deck building
I always used to put a ritual in my deck once I got the spell and monster card since I thought it was cool too. I remember I had Performance of Sword in there at some point until I realized that they weren't viable at all
In a dark time where only 3 type of booster packs where available, the few ritual summons could be a good thing. Special summons where rare at that time and placing 2 instead of 1 monster was a good thing, even if their stats mostly sucked.
New card, Demonic Chef, Effect: When this card is on the field along with Bistro Butcher you may Special summon Hungry Burger in Face up attack mode. If Hungry Burger is destroyed you may special summon it again at the start of your standby phase if Demonic Chef and Bistro Butcher are still on the field.
I found a use for Doriado, In historical Skull Servant decks predating Phantom Darkness but after Strike of Neos. You Summon her with advanced Ritual art in order to dump all three skull servants into the graveyard, Witch would give King of Skull Servants 3000 attack points right off the bat.. It’s dumb, but it kinda works.
Speaking of Weird Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh, how about a list of the Top 10 Yu-Gi-Oh Monsters with Weird Types. Cards like Headless Knight, who's a Fiend Type, but should've been a Zombie Type. Hungry Burger, which is a Warrior Type, but seem to fit the Fiend Type monsters. Skull Knight, a Spellcaster Type, but should've been either a Warrior, Fiend or maybe Zombie Type.
This is a series that could go on forever it feels, with how inconsistent Konami is with types. Like how gor some reason like 3 of the Genex monsters are not machines but.... Spellcasters???
@@MrTopTenList If you want, here's, what I think would be 10 good choices. 10. Impachi. A Machine Type Monster that looks like it would better fit the Plant Type Monsters. 9. The Magnet Warriors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and their combined form. All of them are Rock Types, but considering that they're based on magnets, wouldn't it make more sense if they were either Machine, or Thunder Type? 8. Pyramid Turtle. While I do understand why it's a Zombie Type, as it's effect is tie in with any Zombie with 2000 DEF or less, the thing is, is that more Turtle-Themed monsters are typically Reptile or Aqua. Obviously, since it's a turtle with a pyramid for a shell, it can't be Aqua Type. 7. Dark Witch and Dunames Dark Witch. I pitted both of them together, primarily because they're Fairy Types, when understand normal circumstances, witches commonly fall under the Spellcaster category. 6. Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #2. It looks like a Dragon, has a blue various that is a Dragon, and has the word Dragon in its name, but for some reason is a Winged Beast monster. 5. Crawling Dragon #2. It looks like a Dragon, has a counterpart that is a Dragon, and had the word Dragon in its name, but instead it's a Dinosaur. (I feel like I repeated myself.) 4. The Occult/Undead Fiend monsters, the ones that Bakura uses, Headless Knight, Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams, Portrait's Secret, and a few others. All these monsters clearly should be Zombie Types, but all of them are Fiend Types. 3. Hungry Burger. A sentient hamburger that's a Warrior Type, for some reason. Personally, it think it's best suited as a Fiend Type. 2. Skull Knight. A Spellcaster, that looks nothing like a Spellcaster, and is a Fusion Monster that requires 2 Fiend Types, IE Ancient Brain and Tainted Wisdom, so why isn't it a Fiend Type? But if it couldn't be a Fiend Type, then I could also see him as a Warrior Type, or, maybe a Zombie Type. 1. A three-way tie between Oppressed People, People Running About and United Resistance. Oppressed People Is an Aqua Type, for some reason. People Running About is Pyro Type, for some reason. And United Resistance is a Thunder Type for some reason. And unlike the previous 9 where I could at think of an alternate type for, these three I can't think of anything.
We even recorded something for Masked Beast, but since he was in a major battle in the anime, we put him in Black Luster Soldier tier where we didn't overtly mention him
Dark Doriado is actually the teacher of the Charmer's in the Lore is if remember correctly ( i think it was mentioned in duel terminal lore connected to Wynn/Winda the "Shaddol" saga )
Doriado, the Elemental Mistress was the teacher of the Charmers and took Aussa, Hiita, Wynn, and Eria under her wing so they could learn the four elements, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. After achieving her dark and light forms, Doriado took in two orphans, Lyna and Dharc, and it seems they're connected to one another, because the artworks on both Familiar Possessed Cards has a blue link between their wrist shackles and their backgrounds mirror one another perfectly
Ok, follow me on this. Maybe the chef in Hamburger Recipe IS The Bistro Butcher but before he lost his hand! He made this burger that bit off his hand and he got it replace with a hook and went dark and evil to become The Bistro Butcher! Makes sense in a weird way, right???
Id like to point out that Mako calls fortress whale his strongest card which is false cause earlier in the duel he summons amphibian beast which is 2400 attack and way easier to get out
17:59 tho no one ever rlly trivia skull guardians but he’s basically a protector of justice who comes to insert justice by brutal means he sacrificed his humanity to become a spirit a justice to be called upon for times of great need. The women is praying for him to be summoned into her world to protect it against the dark forces of evil
I’m glad you mentioned that Rituals are becoming more viable. It proves that you actually pay attention to the current meta and aren’t just an anime fan 😅 Love your content as always! Keep up the great work
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I follow the modern meta since I do like to see what's being introduced and which old archetypes are getting support and I'm an avid Duel Links player, so I technically still play actively, just not the physical game
Top Ten Yugioh Cards from the Anime and Manga that were never made into real life cards Top Ten Yu gi Oh cards based on Food like hungry Burger, Mystic tomato, Inmato, Doom donuts.
Relinquished is still kinda usable. Between it and Thousand-Eyes Restrict it's the easier of the two to actually bring out if you want to use it as intended (as opposed to just easy removal), and its effect is pretty solid, with replenishable limited battle protection and a damage reflection effect. A good Relinquished Turbo deck can take games off of unprepared netdeckers quite often.
Novax's prayer is probably someone praying for a warrior to fight evil and skull guardian is the result. since it's a light attribute it kind of makes sense.
I had hungry burger, but not the spell card to summon it. I thought if I had it, along with other ritual cards that I had, I would be the best plaster lmao
Probably already been told this but "skull guardian" is mistranslated his name in japan is "law guardian". the wiki also says he is an enforcer for justice. Im going to guess that the guy who translated the name thought he looked like a villian to duel spirit police officer Apologizes for wasting your time
Tack on a few basic effects like "this card can't be targeted or destroyed by card effects" or battle piercing damage or whatever & it would of been viable.
@@Aloyus_Knight I miss this game a lot but it's just like... maybe they would have more interest if cards didn't read like literal and figurative fine print. Keywords. Duel Links. The game may be fun if they could condense. My comment here is the length of a card text. Here goes: I think the way they set up card text is what is driving people away from the game. I grew up with YGO and loved the game. Maybe 2005-2010, then I tried MTG. I eventually settled on Duel Links but found it to be way too pricey for a game made by a company known for making some surprising decisions. Imagine Duel Links 2 and Konami's executives decide it's fine to instantly make Duel Links an obsolete service with realized losses. If a Duel Links deck costs hundreds of dollars, there's an issue with them creating a paywall meta. There were always viable cheap options you could buy a set to get some kind of competitive list together. I ran Desperado for a while, Ancient Gears, Triamids, that one f2p control archetype uhh... Garden Fairy deck? Getting a little financial about it but they make really fun digital CCG it's just that they are very hesitant to change. The entire concept Konami had for a condensed version of the game was not sound because the unintended side effect is that you have to learn to read paragraphs as long as this comment to understand a card, but then you forget about a conditional modifier to the effect or something and you mess up your turn order or blunder the game. That's just stressful. Is it a casual game or are we metadecking like Konami is steering the player base with their incremental power creep (not bad by itself) but then the whole casual aspect starts to disappear yet KoG is pretty easy compared to the top ranks of the competitors. Like the ladder alone is not great, and Konami is basically resting their marketing team and letting DKayed (mainly him but also content creators) run like unofficially official tournaments? It's one way to get the community involved but as a business, they're putting their trust in the life decisions of one person - maybe his priorities change. As I understand they have a relationship but it's just so unusual and risky for a company that is also very slow to change. Why is their app so poorly programmed? Their website is... yeah. It's like a time machine back to 2003 internet. I think keywords + re-release of "remastered" old sets. Maybe it would bring back the nostalgic fans to the TCG shops to play the game. I miss it a lot. Hope the rant about the state of the franchise as a whole is well taken. I don't have nostalgia goggles but I think they're just running their businesses in ways that don't make sense. ^Now read that every time a new card hits the table. And remember it and all its conditions. This game reminds me of law school prep. for that one simple but critical flaw. Not with the game but the way they present the information. Konami pls fix
I will search for Google all about Doraido. Fu-Ri-ka-zen was literally made for her. And ironically is the second best ritual for five God dragon ritual version.
So, since this video came out, Konami made an archetype of chefs and demon foodstuffs to reference and support Hungry Burger. It even has a card with a guy doing the Hamburger Recipe pose, and it can wipe your opponent’s field if you make the original Hungry Burger. They also retrained Skull Guardian (alongside 2 other ritual monsters) into an archetype, and made Novox an actual monster card.
@@MrTopTenList technically its said she has connections to the Charmer archetype as she is their mentor in the lore. So its possible in the future we will see another retrain of Doriado (hopefully as a link monster) and she could be the boss monster for the archetype.............maybe
Zera in the italian version of the card is named “Zera la Manta” where Manta means “manta Ray” the fish... but it still makes no sense. I guess it has a color scheme similar to a manta ray...
Oh wow never expected number 1 but i love it since i really like Elemental Mistress Doriado i made a deck to turbo her out and use Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan and it wasnt bad it failed to apply much pressure so even when i used Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan sometimes multiple times it was hard to close out games so they had a good chance of coming back. Anyways loved the video, in the beginning when negetive x says im still here the way he said it was so good every time i play it i cant help but laugh, just wanted to mention that.
This video is inspiring me to make a theoretical archetype called "Ritual Revenge" or something similar. Like the monsters are all super buffed versions of these old school ones, and the spells and traps reference the ritual performers. My personal favorite one I came up with would be "Dokurorider Forever", that or "Hungry Burger Deluxe". Support Monsters would be the beings behind the ritual spells like "Garma Knights" and "Super War Hound". Spells would have to do with accelerating ritual monsters out onto the field with cards like "Nightmare Kitchen", or "Novox's Anguish". Traps could be stalling-based, like "Mant Mantle" having Swords of Revealing-Light type of ability and "Mirror On The Wall" having search power. Also, for that #1, Duel Links taught me this jank ass strat back in the day: There's a trap card called "Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan" or something, that when activated can activate one of many busted effects. Draw 2 cards, halve your opponents life points, you got to pick. The catch is that it can't be activated unless you have a Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind monster on the field at the same time.
As a fan of Doriado it always makes me think if she ever has any relations to the Charmer archetype, my most favorite archetype of all, and we could possibly see another retrain of her, maybe a link form, that connects her to them with this type of effect since she works around every element minus Dark.
16:28 Years later, Skull Guardian would get a new Ritual Monster, a new Ritual Spell, and new titles that read "The Voiceless Voice". The new monster would be called "Skull Guardian, Protector of the Voiceless Voice", and the Ritual Spell would be called "Prayers of the Voiceless Voice", as well as the girl in the artwork getting her own card, called "Lo, the Prayers of the Voiceless Voice". It seems also that it has ties with Saffira and Sauravis, who previously had Ritual Monsters of their Dragon form, and with the Voiceless Voice cards, they are in their Human Form. The plot certainly thickens, but it's still unclear as to who the enemy is and why Skull Guardian is being summoned by Lo, nor the role Saffira and Sauravis play
Hungry Burger is simply a mimic. Mimics are kind of odd in general, but in that context it makes complete sense. Same class of fantasy beings that have provided us with living Pokeball Voltorb/Electrode
yes, mostly the reason why they have "alt versions/counterparts" is to fill space and add extra character and variety recycling models... XD just like in Digimon videogames and or Yokai Watch, mario bros clouds, castlevania, Final Fantasy and so... A classic videogame thing, they had to be resourceful wih limited memory.
Loved the video overall; as y'all not only discussed my favorite yu-gi-oh summoning mechanic (ritual), but also discussed my favorite yu-gi-oh monster's backstory (Doriado). (By the way, still hoping she gets a link monster card version of herself someday (and it's viable in the game.))
For Novox’s Prayer, I believe that she is praying for a person to protect her and the god sent down the skull guardian.
And also, his Japanese name is "Law Guardian", further implying that he was sent to protect her.

It added a bit of speed to the game and allowed one to comeback in a duel. By being able to drop a big monster without having to only tribute from the field.
no it wasn't. they were always trash when stuff like summoning skull existed.
@@scantyer But what if you're in a position where u need a big monster now. And have no tributes on field for summoned skull? You can ritual summon a big monster.
@@bronxishomenomatterwhereig3149 if you dont have a tribute on the field how tf are you gonna find 2 tributes for ritual monsters?
@@scantyer Tribute from hand. And you can use 1 monster if you have a high level one that meets the level requirement. The main flaw with ritual summon was the lack of search cards for them to make it consistent.
@@sirgarde2293 Use rituals as a means of getting back in the fight. Don't over extend with them unless going for the win that turn.
Just recently discovered your channel and I will say I really enjoy your Yu-Gi-Oh videos, as it's pretty rare to youtubers who make Yu-Gi-Oh content that isn't about the competitive play.
Glad you enjoyed it! We love to take a look at all the aspects of the game and we're always happy to hear that people like our aesthetic looks rather than competitive looks (both are good of course)
I actually used Fortress Whale in my Neo Daedalus + Mermail/Atlantean's deck once Pre-Preparation of Rights came out. Being able to +1 with a Water Monster and overlay with another Level 7 Water for Abyssgaios was great.

In lore doriado is said to be the teacher of the 4 original charmers hiita wynn eria and aussa given that she is also fire wind water and earth, I always found that backstory interesting
same, thats why I got so interested in Charmers so much. Idk why Konami didnt try to put Doriado in the Charmer structure deck and make her as a boss monster for them with a new retrain
@@IamJerf They do put Dark Doriado now, I have the structure deck
Fun fact about Zera Ritual: The Warrior of Zera was depicted on that card (and thus, as his evil final form) before his card was printed.
I'm Glad Fortress whale got a retrained version in Citadel Whale
I love just looking at old yugioh cards. Each one is like a painting you would see in an art gallery.
I remember back in high school I always had Carb Turtle in my deck trying to make it some op card that would win all my duels since it was the best ritual card I had than, I don’t think I every manage to summon it once though that could’ve been because of bad deck building
I always used to put a ritual in my deck once I got the spell and monster card since I thought it was cool too. I remember I had Performance of Sword in there at some point until I realized that they weren't viable at all
"Maybe it's a girl beetle" JudgmentMeter's onto something
In a dark time where only 3 type of booster packs where available, the few ritual summons could be a good thing. Special summons where rare at that time and placing 2 instead of 1 monster was a good thing, even if their stats mostly sucked.
Good times
Ah, the good ol' days where whoever gets the highest attack monster that's protected with either one or two trap cards win
8:24 Giant Pogo Stick of Doom sounds like a legitimate Yugioh card
New card, Demonic Chef, Effect: When this card is on the field along with Bistro Butcher you may Special summon Hungry Burger in Face up attack mode. If Hungry Burger is destroyed you may special summon it again at the start of your standby phase if Demonic Chef and Bistro Butcher are still on the field.
No once per turn effect, no activating, no restrictions on the monster, no specification where the monster is summoned from
Genuinely insane card
"Kids WB"

Fiend's Mirror looks more like a Ritual Spell than a Monster.
Imagining a Mirror's Fiend as the counterpart card would be clever and silly.
When i first started i got like a billion “hungry burgers” and not a single “burger recipe”. Seems like a scam.
For a general vanilla ritual monster, Fortress Whale is a $200 card IRL...
Used to be way more expensive than that, it only had one print as a tournament pack Super Rare for about 13 years
@@lokephoenix1039 I know. I was lucky enough to get one through a trade a few years ago.
I found a use for Doriado, In historical Skull Servant decks predating Phantom Darkness but after Strike of Neos. You Summon her with advanced Ritual art in order to dump all three skull servants into the graveyard, Witch would give King of Skull Servants 3000 attack points right off the bat.. It’s dumb, but it kinda works.
Speaking of Weird Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh, how about a list of the Top 10 Yu-Gi-Oh Monsters with Weird Types.
Cards like Headless Knight, who's a Fiend Type, but should've been a Zombie Type.
Hungry Burger, which is a Warrior Type, but seem to fit the Fiend Type monsters.
Skull Knight, a Spellcaster Type, but should've been either a Warrior, Fiend or maybe Zombie Type.
This is a series that could go on forever it feels, with how inconsistent Konami is with types. Like how gor some reason like 3 of the Genex monsters are not machines but.... Spellcasters???
That's a good topic!
The entirety of the Wyrm monster type
A lot of cards in yugioh with spider in its name are insect type. Spiders aren't insects.
@@MrTopTenList If you want, here's, what I think would be 10 good choices.
10. Impachi. A Machine Type Monster that looks like it would better fit the Plant Type Monsters.
9. The Magnet Warriors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and their combined form. All of them are Rock Types, but considering that they're based on magnets, wouldn't it make more sense if they were either Machine, or Thunder Type?
8. Pyramid Turtle. While I do understand why it's a Zombie Type, as it's effect is tie in with any Zombie with 2000 DEF or less, the thing is, is that more Turtle-Themed monsters are typically Reptile or Aqua. Obviously, since it's a turtle with a pyramid for a shell, it can't be Aqua Type.
7. Dark Witch and Dunames Dark Witch. I pitted both of them together, primarily because they're Fairy Types, when understand normal circumstances, witches commonly fall under the Spellcaster category.
6. Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #2. It looks like a Dragon, has a blue various that is a Dragon, and has the word Dragon in its name, but for some reason is a Winged Beast monster.
5. Crawling Dragon #2. It looks like a Dragon, has a counterpart that is a Dragon, and had the word Dragon in its name, but instead it's a Dinosaur. (I feel like I repeated myself.)
4. The Occult/Undead Fiend monsters, the ones that Bakura uses, Headless Knight, Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams, Portrait's Secret, and a few others. All these monsters clearly should be Zombie Types, but all of them are Fiend Types.
3. Hungry Burger. A sentient hamburger that's a Warrior Type, for some reason. Personally, it think it's best suited as a Fiend Type.
2. Skull Knight. A Spellcaster, that looks nothing like a Spellcaster, and is a Fusion Monster that requires 2 Fiend Types, IE Ancient Brain and Tainted Wisdom, so why isn't it a Fiend Type? But if it couldn't be a Fiend Type, then I could also see him as a Warrior Type, or, maybe a Zombie Type.
1. A three-way tie between Oppressed People, People Running About and United Resistance. Oppressed People Is an Aqua Type, for some reason. People Running About is Pyro Type, for some reason. And United Resistance is a Thunder Type for some reason. And unlike the previous 9 where I could at think of an alternate type for, these three I can't think of anything.
That Hungry Burger is making me hungry for burger
Don't eat eat it! It will consume you from the inside!
Hungry burger was used by a chef duelist in gx
He was the headmaster of Ra Yellow but never used this. His deck included veggy monsters and spices. Mokuba has used this in Duel Links.

F in the chat for the masked beast whom could attack over black luster soldier for 200 damage ☕
We even recorded something for Masked Beast, but since he was in a major battle in the anime, we put him in Black Luster Soldier tier where we didn't overtly mention him
I have a good idea about why the chef in hamburger recipe doesn’t have a card: it’s because the burger ate him.
He died.
Sometimes you eat the burger, sometimes the burger eats you
Dark Doriado is actually the teacher of the Charmer's in the Lore is if remember correctly ( i think it was mentioned in duel terminal lore connected to Wynn/Winda the "Shaddol" saga )
You are correct. Partially it's just Doriado that is the mentor to the elemental Charmers.
We need a Doriado link retrain to act as the official boss monster for Charmer supports.
who's with my idea
Doriado, the Elemental Mistress was the teacher of the Charmers and took Aussa, Hiita, Wynn, and Eria under her wing so they could learn the four elements, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. After achieving her dark and light forms, Doriado took in two orphans, Lyna and Dharc, and it seems they're connected to one another, because the artworks on both Familiar Possessed Cards has a blue link between their wrist shackles and their backgrounds mirror one another perfectly
Ok, follow me on this. Maybe the chef in Hamburger Recipe IS The Bistro Butcher but before he lost his hand! He made this burger that bit off his hand and he got it replace with a hook and went dark and evil to become The Bistro Butcher! Makes sense in a weird way, right???
Id like to point out that Mako calls fortress whale his strongest card which is false cause earlier in the duel he summons amphibian beast which is 2400 attack and way easier to get out
It’s his rarest card
@@brianaguilar8283 wasnt that legendary fisherman
@@dorkhour no, he gave that card to Joey because he felt he earned it. Fortress Whale is his rarest
17:59 tho no one ever rlly trivia skull guardians but he’s basically a protector of justice who comes to insert justice by brutal means he sacrificed his humanity to become a spirit a justice to be called upon for times of great need. The women is praying for him to be summoned into her world to protect it against the dark forces of evil
Love the content 🤘 especially all the different fighting game characters I'm learning about. Keep it up!
Thank you! Always more fighting game stuff on the way!
I used to arm my Hungry Burger with the Ritual Weapon back in the day
Gave it a 1500 attack point boost
12:11 It all started with Bio-Plant.
Bioplant is the lettuce , so is Griggle .
You also need Mystic Tomato and Battle Steer ground beef .
And voila, one Hungry Burger

Top Ten Yugioh Cards from the Anime and Manga that were never made into real life cards
Top Ten Yu gi Oh cards based on Food like hungry Burger, Mystic tomato, Inmato, Doom donuts.
Relinquished is still kinda usable. Between it and Thousand-Eyes Restrict it's the easier of the two to actually bring out if you want to use it as intended (as opposed to just easy removal), and its effect is pretty solid, with replenishable limited battle protection and a damage reflection effect. A good Relinquished Turbo deck can take games off of unprepared netdeckers quite often.

Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Monsters that could be in Marvel/DC Comics
Novax's prayer is probably someone praying for a warrior to fight evil and skull guardian is the result. since it's a light attribute it kind of makes sense.
I run hungry burger in my drytron deck, just in case
I had hungry burger, but not the spell card to summon it. I thought if I had it, along with other ritual cards that I had, I would be the best plaster lmao
BOCA BURGER MEANS MOUTH BURGER IN SPANISH OMGGG IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSEEE
It is amazing how the game evolved from Rituals being the worst thing to summon to decks that really hold their weight the the current game !
Probably already been told this but "skull guardian" is mistranslated his name in japan is "law guardian". the wiki also says he is an enforcer for justice. Im going to guess that the guy who translated the name thought he looked like a villian to duel spirit police officer
Apologizes for wasting your time
You guys should do weirdest early Yu-Gi-Oh card designs
Oh man, there is a lot fuel for that.
A lot of the earlier cards were also reskins
Gate Guardian should've just been a ritual summon. Wouldve given a lot more flexibility
Only in Yugioh Duelist of the Roses.
The Gate Guardian Ritual
Tack on a few basic effects like "this card can't be targeted or destroyed by card effects" or battle piercing damage or whatever & it would of been viable.
@@Aloyus_Knight I miss this game a lot but it's just like... maybe they would have more interest if cards didn't read like literal and figurative fine print. Keywords. Duel Links. The game may be fun if they could condense. My comment here is the length of a card text. Here goes:
I think the way they set up card text is what is driving people away from the game. I grew up with YGO and loved the game. Maybe 2005-2010, then I tried MTG. I eventually settled on Duel Links but found it to be way too pricey for a game made by a company known for making some surprising decisions. Imagine Duel Links 2 and Konami's executives decide it's fine to instantly make Duel Links an obsolete service with realized losses. If a Duel Links deck costs hundreds of dollars, there's an issue with them creating a paywall meta. There were always viable cheap options you could buy a set to get some kind of competitive list together. I ran Desperado for a while, Ancient Gears, Triamids, that one f2p control archetype uhh... Garden Fairy deck? Getting a little financial about it but they make really fun digital CCG it's just that they are very hesitant to change. The entire concept Konami had for a condensed version of the game was not sound because the unintended side effect is that you have to learn to read paragraphs as long as this comment to understand a card, but then you forget about a conditional modifier to the effect or something and you mess up your turn order or blunder the game. That's just stressful. Is it a casual game or are we metadecking like Konami is steering the player base with their incremental power creep (not bad by itself) but then the whole casual aspect starts to disappear yet KoG is pretty easy compared to the top ranks of the competitors. Like the ladder alone is not great, and Konami is basically resting their marketing team and letting DKayed (mainly him but also content creators) run like unofficially official tournaments? It's one way to get the community involved but as a business, they're putting their trust in the life decisions of one person - maybe his priorities change. As I understand they have a relationship but it's just so unusual and risky for a company that is also very slow to change. Why is their app so poorly programmed? Their website is... yeah. It's like a time machine back to 2003 internet.
I think keywords + re-release of "remastered" old sets. Maybe it would bring back the nostalgic fans to the TCG shops to play the game. I miss it a lot. Hope the rant about the state of the franchise as a whole is well taken. I don't have nostalgia goggles but I think they're just running their businesses in ways that don't make sense.
^Now read that every time a new card hits the table. And remember it and all its conditions. This game reminds me of law school prep. for that one simple but critical flaw. Not with the game but the way they present the information. Konami pls fix
If Fiend's Mirror was designed with silver foil to make the card a literal mirror then maybe it would've been cool
Well time to watch toradora after this.
I will search for Google all about Doraido. Fu-Ri-ka-zen was literally made for her. And ironically is the second best ritual for five God dragon ritual version.
Older rituals were weird and that's what made them interesting.
I love performance of sword. Very beautiful and clean design. 👌
So, since this video came out, Konami made an archetype of chefs and demon foodstuffs to reference and support Hungry Burger. It even has a card with a guy doing the Hamburger Recipe pose, and it can wipe your opponent’s field if you make the original Hungry Burger.
They also retrained Skull Guardian (alongside 2 other ritual monsters) into an archetype, and made Novox an actual monster card.
Obviously someone never played against a Hungry Hamburger beatdown deck in duel links
Doraido... I did not realize how beautiful the artwork on her card is.
I'd like to see her archetype get some more support since they always do a great job designing her cards!
@@MrTopTenList technically its said she has connections to the Charmer archetype as she is their mentor in the lore. So its possible in the future we will see another retrain of Doriado (hopefully as a link monster) and she could be the boss monster for the archetype.............maybe
The legs on the shell of crab turtle are for intimidation.
This episode is a lot of fun!!
I can just watch these over and over . I get sucked in the “lore”
Zera in the italian version of the card is named “Zera la Manta” where Manta means “manta Ray” the fish... but it still makes no sense. I guess it has a color scheme similar to a manta ray...
Crab Turtle is not turtley enough for the Turtle Club 🐢🐢
*TURTLE!!!*
*Tongue noises*
Oh wow never expected number 1 but i love it since i really like Elemental Mistress Doriado i made a deck to turbo her out and use Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan and it wasnt bad it failed to apply much pressure so even when i used Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan sometimes multiple times it was hard to close out games so they had a good chance of coming back.
Anyways loved the video, in the beginning when negetive x says im still here the way he said it was so good every time i play it i cant help but laugh, just wanted to mention that.
For Novax’s prayer maybe they r showing what the ritual looked like to summon skull guardian
Maybe the guardian is for the prayer so she can make her work.
I'm back just in time for 50k! Congratulations man
Thank you! Thanks for sticking around!
I love this, a lot of avatar references makes it even better
I just now realized after all these years
The chef in Hamburger Recipe is holding his pinky out.
Oui oui
This video is inspiring me to make a theoretical archetype called "Ritual Revenge" or something similar.
Like the monsters are all super buffed versions of these old school ones, and the spells and traps reference the ritual performers.
My personal favorite one I came up with would be "Dokurorider Forever", that or "Hungry Burger Deluxe". Support Monsters would be the beings behind the ritual spells like "Garma Knights" and "Super War Hound". Spells would have to do with accelerating ritual monsters out onto the field with cards like "Nightmare Kitchen", or "Novox's Anguish". Traps could be stalling-based, like "Mant Mantle" having Swords of Revealing-Light type of ability and "Mirror On The Wall" having search power.
Also, for that #1, Duel Links taught me this jank ass strat back in the day: There's a trap card called "Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan" or something, that when activated can activate one of many busted effects. Draw 2 cards, halve your opponents life points, you got to pick. The catch is that it can't be activated unless you have a Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind monster on the field at the same time.
I’m bugged that he didn’t mention that Chakara was the deck master of the main bad guy in Yugioh Duelist of the Roses.
As a fan of Doriado it always makes me think if she ever has any relations to the Charmer archetype, my most favorite archetype of all, and we could possibly see another retrain of her, maybe a link form, that connects her to them with this type of effect since she works around every element minus Dark.
Doriado is said to be the mentor of the Charmer girls, and she herself wields the Dark (and presumably also Light in the lore) attributes
one of my favorite youtubers!!! Keep this up!
Thank you!
Agreed
16:28 Years later, Skull Guardian would get a new Ritual Monster, a new Ritual Spell, and new titles that read "The Voiceless Voice". The new monster would be called "Skull Guardian, Protector of the Voiceless Voice", and the Ritual Spell would be called "Prayers of the Voiceless Voice", as well as the girl in the artwork getting her own card, called "Lo, the Prayers of the Voiceless Voice". It seems also that it has ties with Saffira and Sauravis, who previously had Ritual Monsters of their Dragon form, and with the Voiceless Voice cards, they are in their Human Form. The plot certainly thickens, but it's still unclear as to who the enemy is and why Skull Guardian is being summoned by Lo, nor the role Saffira and Sauravis play
meanwhile two years later and we have support for hungry burger...
Hungry Burger is simply a mimic. Mimics are kind of odd in general, but in that context it makes complete sense. Same class of fantasy beings that have provided us with living Pokeball Voltorb/Electrode
yes, mostly the reason why they have "alt versions/counterparts" is to fill space and add extra character and variety recycling models... XD just like in Digimon videogames and or Yokai Watch, mario bros clouds, castlevania, Final Fantasy and so... A classic videogame thing, they had to be resourceful wih limited memory.
I would have put burger as number one.
plot twist the bistro butcher is the chef from hamburger recipe and got his arm bit off by the burger
It is my current headcanon that Mako probably intended to WREAK Joey in the finals using a Monster stealing card and just summoning the whale himself.
later on in the Yu-Gi-Oh Anime, they should have a Joke character that uses food based Monsters, and his ace monster is Hungry Burger
