I love kaiba. He's probably the most relatable person in Duel Monsters. He's depressed. He had a horrible childhood-- mentally and physically abused by his stepfather. Abandoned by his biological family. Had to essentially raise a baby brother from the time he was 7 years old. He makes his own path, not relying on others because he can't trust others. And my favorite quote is (funny enough) "Leave me alone and have a nice life!" He just wants to win card games and go home. I always hated that Pharoah and Joey thought that EVERYONE just HAD to be their friend.

Darklords fan here! They SERIOUSLY NEED new cards/new support that can help them playthrough hand traps like Ash without dying to them! I even came up with some Darklord card ideas of my own. Darklord Herald Zeranoir Dark Lv:4 ATK:2100/DEF:800 Fairy/Effect If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 "Darklord" card from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Darklord Herald Zeranoir" once per turn. You can discard this card to the GY; Set 1 "Darklord" Spell/Trap card from your Deck to your side of the field. Darklord Maiden Reficule Dark Lv:4 ATK:1400/DEF:600 Fairy/Effect If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 "Darklord" card from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Darklord Maiden Reficule" once per turn. During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Fusion Summon 1 DARK Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using this card in your hand or on the field and monsters from your hand and/or field. You can only use this effect of "Darklord Maiden Reficule" once per turn. Arch-Darklord Kristya Dark Lv:8 ATK:2800/DEF:2300 Fairy/Effect If you have exactly 4 "Darklord" monsters in your GY, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If Summoned this way: Target 1 "Darklord" monster in your GY; add that target to your hand. Neither player can Special Summon monsters except "Darklord" monsters. If this face-up card would be sent from the field to the GY, banish it, instead. (Quick Effect): You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 "Darklord" Spell/Trap in your GY; Apply that target's effect, then shuffle that target into the Deck. You can only use each effect of "Arch-Darklord Kristya" once per turn. You can only Special Summon "Arch-Darklord Kristya(s)" once per turn.

Yubel Almost gave her life to destroy him and reclaim her throne. She knew he was planning to betray her and he didn't think to perhaps add Diffusion-Wave Motion to his deck, which gave her the move she needed to vanquish Exodius. His Fog King strategy was effective and he mentions his goal to revive Echo as his co-ruler in a world safe of darkness during said strategy which Yubel mocks him for with the fact he wasn't able to make such a world with his "false emperor" status. She banishes him to the stars using Echo against him and he suffers a karmic demise with screaming the way he caused others to, vanishing in remorse for his failure.

I am unclear as to how the Ditto transformed into a non-existent Pokemon, did the electrical currents scramble the genetic information while it was attempting to transform into Arcanine? Furthermore, the question at the beginning, the reason there is just ONE place where Pokemon are known to breed was never answered but rather seems to focus on how Ditto breeding was discovered. This entire premise somewhat implies that Pokemon were incapable of breeding with each other in the wild until that mysterious release of the abused Ditto, which makes no sense and since when do Ditto sing? Regardless this just made one of my favorite Pokemon, Houndoom, even more awesome.

Yeah, I knew the Twinkling Star Ribbon was a thing (by which I mean I found out about it about the same time as I looked up the Shining Star Ribbon requirements, haha), but I'm not 100% sure that I'm gonna go for that. Obviously it's something I could do with the same Absol since that's an available 'Mon in BDSP, and also the Contest Star Ribbon is literally required to even be able to grab it, but I wasn't a big fan of how they did Contests in BDSP? At least the one time I tried it in my Brilliant Diamond LP. Maybe I'll give it another go at some point down the line, but I'm not promising anything!

I imagine his parents would've eventually tried to get rid of the Yubel card themselves, given the adverse effect it was clearly having on Jaden's social life (even if they didn't actually know Yubel was actively cursing people, his attachment to the card could probably somehow be connected to all the weird stuff happening to everyone Jaden played with). That said, at that point, I almost feel like Yubel would try and take matters into their own hands to make sure she could stay with Jaden and try to curse his parents in the same way, given her devotion to her duty to protect him no matter what, and that might've caused a whole different kind of rift between Jaden and a still-pre-Light-Of-Destruction Yubel.

This was such an entertaining video to watch I really wish that people would go more into side games in Pokemon like this. Your characteristic of being the prick made this all the more entertaining and honestly I would totally love to see your character in contest as not only someone who was entertaining and sort of lovable to hate but also the idea that you lost to lisia where I thought it would humble you, no it just strengthened you more. 😂😂 Pretty good first introduction video if there's ever a chance for you to try something like this again I'd love to see it and who knows if you ever consider doing tabletop adventure for Pokemon maybe you can continue this and be a Pokemon coordinator.

11:16 yes and no. The way to slide a boss fight with chara is to hypothetically have frisk (you) see chara as the same way you saw everyone else. So IMHO, any boss fight wouldnt be done by chara for frisks soul, it would be initiated by the player to take back control and "see what happens" when they kill chara.
