[@juksleo6257]

@@darkcrow125 well, I believe that the scenarios end up clashing cause the anime cares both about the characters themselves rather than the plot cause at the end of the day it's just some guys playing card games regardless of reason. Now with card lore they have more room to experiment with different concepts and ideias. I'd prefer if the anime went for the OCG structures route where it shows the game being played as it should by a cast that just wants to have some fun without the fate of the world or some other BS.

I love how Kitt just goes off onto her own Tengen Toppa Guren Lagan tournent arc by herself. Definitively the best part of this lore.

[@desthstride587]

If you look closely at Fallen of Albaz and Albaz the Ashen, Fallen has pointed ears with spiked scales/horns (easier to see on the token), but Ashen's are round and bare. Probably more evidence that even though he's still a dragon in the game, the character is devoid of power and nothing more than a human boy. That Icejade shard is probably where his current powers come from, gaining power from the memories of his dragon forms even though he can't transform anymore. Also, with the skull in the background of Ashen, I'd wager that Albaz breaking free is Ecclesia's handiwork, maybe throwing the hammer in a last-ditch effort. It seems odd Aluber would eject Albaz in a way that damages himself, especially shattering one of the crystals he presumably draws power from, so in my mind outside interference makes more sense. Great vid as always, I've been playing an Albaz deck a lot lately and hearing the lore makes the cards even more fun to use.

[@rashanmcrae9166]

Maybe Albaz was able to break free before he was fully consumed.

[@shaser3684]

I've noticed Albaz ears too and I'm wondering about that, it also seems that Albaz has his left eyes gone and NO ONE talk about this, on Aluber's token you can see that his right eye his totally white without pupil. It renforce the duality between the two. But also tjose details tends to show that they have a past and maybe a back story would come soon.

Well the main thing I’m waiting for is the big god monster that we usually get with these main set episodic sorry archetypes, and that’s the big god monster with the field nuke effect (things like Sophia in duel terminal, Tierra in the second duel terminal arc, and I think it was called Avida in the world legacy arc). It seems we’re reaching the climax of the story here, and that’s usually when that type of monster shows up

Albaz Lore Part 8: AKA The Darkest Hour at the Abyss 1) So while Kitt and Sargas managed to win the tournament arc against the therion, this only enraged the sore loser that is the Argyro System, which caused it to create the Splight as a sudden extra challenge to pummel Kitt and Sargas, causing a 2 VS 1 scenario with the Springans going against the Therions AND the newly formed Splights.... 2) Icejade Aegirine, filled with rage, grief and pain in her heart at seeing her mother die, created Icejade Creation Aegirocassis in revenge towards those who killed her mom, the despia 3) Albaz got spit out of Alba-Lenatus, and is still willing to put a fight despite seemingly no longer having any power, and only having an icicle as weapon from his Mirrorjade form 4) Fleur De Lis seemingly dies in Ecclesia's arms, all while the Despia and the White Relic of Dogmatika omninously gather around them, seemingly to capture them

[@mohwe1007]

Albaz might yet have another gear of power that might yet be unlocked, and Ecclesia might be the Key It could be a Synchro Evolution of Ecclesia using that power Or a Fusion Albaz Dragon, merging their wishes and hopes together to bring out “the flame” that was mentioned in the Structure Deck I’m leaning more towards the 2nd, but making Ecclesia as a Tuner…..kinda does make that 1st one possible

I dont think Aluber ejected Albaz. Remember from the Book, it mentioned a cold flame within the new dragon. I believe this is Albaz weilding the Icejade spike. He damaged the core of the beast in one last ditch effort to stop Aluber. Albaz the Ashen shows him standing weakened against what is likely an extremely enraged Aluber, who still has the power of both brands.

[@MrMysteryreviewer]

[@garystricker4023]

After watching all 8 videos on this, I am providing thoughts on what is probably more side line over the main story. The first is Mo Ye is not a true swordsoul and is an icejade that Longyaun used. When you look at the swordsouls: Taia, Longyaun, Chixiao and Chengying they share a very distinct body/tail design that Mo Ye does not have. The tail is connected to the body from the crotch area, similar like if a Chinese style dragon was to just grow legs. Mo Ye's tail is connect like a tail bone similar to mammals. Second is her skin color and outfit. Her skin is this dark black/purple which is the similar color of the corrupted parts of an Icejade. She also has a mask that gives her the appearance of a swordsoul monster over her own face having those traits. Another clue to point to her being an icejade is she has those "crystal butterflies" in her image. My thought is that she was naturally corrupted by her environment and was being prepared to be given to the swordsoul to be forged into a new weapon. This is when Longyaun was able to split his "evil side" and in doing so, cleansed Mo Ye of this corruption and created the weapon that way. Further proof of Mo Ye is an Icejade can be seen in Icejade Creation Aegirocassis. There is a figure of a woman being fused to the creature at the waste on the "head area." A close look at this woman, show clothing that is similar to that of Mo Ye. Aegirocassis also showing this fusion of the natural corruption the Icejade absorb could lead back on the theory she was full corrupted and was not ready to end her life to become a sword. Mo Ye followed Longyaun because he saved her life, but was then punished to become this new beast of the Icejade to be used against their enemies. Dogmatika Nexus and Despian Proskenion are both idols that depict a pair of dragons. Through this story both Albaz and Aluber both have the ability to become dragons. This seems more than a coincidence. The Dogmatika religion may be based on these two beings that in the past where once on the same side. Over time in their realm, there could have been a falling out or one became jealous of the other leading to this expelling of Albaz from his realm to Dogmatika Nation. The scriptures of the Dogmatika may have also been part of Aluber's plan. That is this religion was partially based on his dragon form, he may have set his plan in motion back then. He shared the power of the "Hole" with the highest members of the church. That all the saints being taken until 666 is reached is his final play. That he steals Albaz's power, he has tricked the Dogmatika to corrupt themselves in order to carry out a ritual that in the end may cement Aluber's power as that greater than a God. Per the token Aluber may have been playing the long game by controlling the "light" by making the religion of the Dogmatika and fooling the "darkness" as he made them give up their human forms to become the despia and believe this great ritual will give then great power only to be double crossed at the end by the Jester. The standard plot line will be if Albaz is able to show another power from within that no one knew he had and/or Kitt and the Springans come through with reinforcements to the rescue.

[@mechanizedMytha]

...not gonna lie, that spriggan on albaz the ashen's shoulder is a checkov's gun, watch him "fusing" with it, or perhaps the opposite, as a cinematic parallel to his previous fusion powers and a show that despite aluber's theft, he has still got it in him

I think i know who the last saint is. But that's a big theory and only if this story wants to go really dark. You see from what we see about the saints being sacrificed. They seem to be characters who are very innocent but right before their sacrifice they are drowned in despair. In which there is only one other character the last saint could be: Kitt. Throughout the entire journey Kitt has remained optimistic and driven. Having a level of innocent and drive that could only be matched by the other heroines. However nothing can cause more instant and great despair then the loss of a family. And we haven't seen the tri-brigades since they parted ways with albaz and aclessia. Something tells me just like fleur they went back to put a fight against Dogmatika, and it didn't go well. And just like fleur their bodies are going to be strung up somewhere in Dogmatika, and once Kitt sees it she will filled with so much despair she won't even need a brand. She will be the perfect final saint for Despia's plans. But that's just a a Theory..... A DUEL THEORY!!!!

Aegirocassis actually looks like swordsoul mo ye if you look close. The mask and costume are recognizable. Not sure if she was absorbed into it or if she was an icejade to begin with though. If she was an icejade to begin with, it would make sense why her effect requires her to reveal a swordsoul or wyrm, it's because she didn't start out with her power and gained it from longyuan. Longyuan's effect also works with this, discarding a swordsoul card just like he chopped off a piece of his soul for the sword he gave mo ye.

[@dagobertobobadillajr7670]

I have never gotten this hooked into lore since Dragunity's and Naturias. Such sadness and drama that I need more to find out what will happen.

[@satorugojo6229]

Why Xyz? Albaz is a fusion centered monster. The only Xyx centered are the Springans and the Splights who are semi-centered to the Xyz summoning. Now if you suggest that he's Xyz summoning using the Springan that's hidden behind him then I can see that happening.

The only way I can see Albaz and Ecclesia winning is if Kitt, the Springans and the Tri Barigade come to their aid. Being all alone makes their chances of survival slim, winning is out of the question. But I guess both fronts don't look so good currently. In the next set we'll probably get more of the Kitt part because the scales of victory lean towards Aluber and the Despia. For the main story to progress, the side story must be concluded. So I see the Kitt story finishing before any big changes happen in the main battlefield. Also I guess that debunks the theory that Aluber is Albaz's brother. What I want is for both Albaz and Ecclesia to live all the way to the end and have a happy ending. They both deserve it.

This Albaz and Aluber lore reminds me of Breath of Fire 4. Fou-lu and Ryu were originally one entity, an immortal deity called Dragon by humans. They were splitted into 2 persons and separated by thousand of years when humans summoned them to the human world to harness divine power for their own selfish goals. They both are able to transform into dragon form albeit incomplete. As their fate is to reunited as one being again in the end, if Fou-Lu is the one who win against Ryu, they will merge and transform into true Dragon form and wipe out the humans for their atrocious actions towards deities. While if Ryu win, they will merge and return all deities which have been summoned to human world back to their own realm and let human decides their own fate without being dependent on any deity again.

[@Rael199327]

Some really cool details I caught while watching this video: The body in the top of Aegirocassis is eerily similar to Mo Ye. This could mean two things: Either Aegirine is retaliating with the Swordsouls and using them as conduit for the Icejade powers instead of the other way around as it was before. It’ll explain why all of the sudden they got a tuner, since originally all Swordsoul monsters were the non-tuners used for the synchro summons while the tokens were the tuners. Or it either be because Mo Ye became more crystal (Icejade) that Swordsoul, thus becoming a tuner. And the other option is that Aegirine is acting in good faith but being inexperienced and trying to replicate her dead mother’s last creation (Mirrorjade) it backfired horribly. In any case I feel really bad for Mo Ye since, as far as we know, she wasn’t even aware of Longyhuan deceit and now has become a meat core for a crystaline harbinger of death. I never really thought of Therions and Springans as full on parallels until now and it’s such a cool idea. Therions using their dead enemies or even their own allies body parts to become stronger, clearly reflected on their use of generic and in archetypal equip effect. While Springans attaching themselves to their own xyz and powering themselves up, you know, as a team. Another thing I’m really curious is… Could Icejades be related to Splights/Therions as well? They also care about equiping their own monsters. Obviously the relation wouldn’t be in a literal sense, but more so in a general sense. Like, could splights and icejade fuse? Would that be like a nuke? Also, where are the Tri-Brigade in all of this? It’s really funny to imagine Shuraig being like “kinda weird that neither Ecclesia and Kitt have answered my Courier calls… Nah, I’m pretty sure they’re fine”. One thing that I don’t have any evidence it’ll happen but considering the fate of almost every woman in this storyline, I’m starting to think that the 666 maiden will be Ferjit since she’s is the only one who hasn’t being affected by the Dogmatika plan. Either that, or a dark Ecclesia will drop out of nowhere like Aluber/Albaz and claim the title. And my biggest question is: will the visas starfrost storyline converge with Albaz? After all, the parallels with the Dracoslayer storyline are there and Zefra Metaltron happened so…

[@thesilentedge2123]

Ah, I see Ecclesia is now our Ib...repeated getting kicked down

[@daviddent5662]

To think my discovering a new clan and researching them would lead me to feel so much bitter sweetness. A wonderful, if tragic story, great characters and lore but climax that looks to see the bad guys win for once in Yugioh lore as far as I'm aware.

[@JackWolf1]

Wow… despite all the guesswork that goes into this, the story presented here is so much more interesting than anything in the Xexal, Arc-V, or Sevens anime. I reiterate: “Why the hell can’t we have a full anime or manga series dedicated to this?”

[@satorugojo6229]

Konami creates such interesting lores and yet the only thing they release in anime form is the card game itself. Some very interesting lores they can make into anime and have a huge success are: 1. Albaz lore (includes all archetypes and cards we've seen so far) 2. The World Legacy lore 3. Sky Striker lore 4. The Duel Terminal lore 5. The Spyral lore 6. Aleister universe lore (also includes Spellbook, Prophecy and others) 7. The Time Thief lore (includes S-Force archetype and more)

@@satorugojo6229 The charmer lore (which includes the Gagagigo saga, DD Warrior Lady, Impachi, and a lot of other monsters for side stories within the same universe)

[@satorugojo6229]

@@josea.ruizquinones9262 ​ @José A. Ruiz Quiñones The wind Charmer is from the Gusto tribe, so the Charmer lore is a side story of the Duel Terminal. And then the Gagagigo, Impachi, DD Warrior Lady etc are side stories to the charmers themselves, lol. The proof to that is that Winda is the older sister of Wynn the wind charmer. The Duel Terminal universe is massive, it contains the most archetypes and cards in it's lore, more than any other lore.

An anime on this story would be amazing. Thanks for the interpretation...enjoying the series.

Ah hell nah they NTRd the main girl, can't have shit in yugioh 😭

[@DonaldAction]

Great video! I can't wait to see what happens next in Albaz's story :)

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

Damn Quem was referenced all the way back in power of the elements. I remember when this card was announced for the pack it was released in and it always felt such like a random card but this makes way more sense now.

[@christopherbogner9332]

This story has been amazing from start to finish...and we're not done yet. I feel like the next set will show Ecclesia find some hidden power of her own. She has to. After the death of Fleur (T_T), Ecclesia is going to be FURIOUS. Hidden power: unlock!

[@raffymartinez5824]

I NEED MORE LORE . WHEN IS THE NEXT SET COMING I CANT HECKING WAIT

[@andrewcovell9692]

Going back through for the new vid and holy crap this one gives some interesting implications for that new dark aclesia card that hasn't been released yet

[@aavagourlay8098]

Oh dear, a terribly bleak place to stop. I hope the next release has some good vibes! I’d love to see something more directly involving Ecclisia, maybe her using her original dogmatika powers to shut down Aluber’s fusing, or fusing with Albaz to take Aluber on. Can’t wait!

[@kevand2898]

Love this storyline I hope our heroes pull through in the next installment

[@minivenom0109]

i just had an idea that in the new blackwing set, if the story continues there, that the new princess of the IceJade finds Fleur's body and uses Aegirocassis to try merge them bring Fleur back for 1 last fight against Despia as "Fleurdelis The IceJade Knight" this time not holding anything back with her power and the IceJade's to bring the whole kingdom down.

[@halfrohp]

Yooo I hear that Custom Robo music. That game goes hard. Props

[@williamspaulding8129]

guess what, more archetypes tied to the albaz lore have been announced for darkwing blast, the byssted, which i probably spelled wrong, and what seems to be a corrupted ecclesia that will give a few people some iblee flashbacks

[@safeandsound712]

I can't stop hearing "Ass dragon" when he mentions Titanaklad lol. I ain't mad though it's funny every time.

[@diogomontesso6970]

Been waiting a while for this one. I really hope they give us an interesting ending to this, it's my new favourite archetype.

[@Noxara]

Going off the idea that Albaz's story is in line with Souls games and Kitt's story referencing the zodiacs. This means that Albaz has officially entered Dark Souls 3. And I'm hoping that things take a very METAL route. *Please give Ablaz a pendulum archetype. It fits the theme of him encountering all the card types*

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

not even D/D/D or odd-eyes have all main mechanic card types. D/D/D lack ritual and odd-eyes lack link (for now). So I doubt albaz will get them all. for the time being, he doesn't even have a synchro or an xyz unless he and the springan in his shoulder become one. unless you count the xyz and synchro of the other archetypes as part of albaz deck. And i mean "all main mechanic card types" because by defeault all of the above would lack the types of toon, gemini, spirit, and also tuner and a tribute monster if you don't count all albaz related cards / archetypes as part of 1 deck

[@pedroconstantino1364]

something funny i noticed is that this last part of the albaz lore fits near perfectly with the only thing i know for real from MGR

[@Tokumastu1]

Calling it right now Aluber is gonna lose control of all the power he now has after stealing it from Albaz. Similar to how Lee lost control of her ultimate form after Ib was resurrected. Aluber's next fusion could probably be some horrific dragon with power distortions. Albaz's next fusion could potentially be something smaller in scale while being more grandiose in power, similar to the power boost Avram got when he became Avramax. Also why do I get the feeling there's more going on with Quem, especially given the unmentioned 666 Saint.

[@josea.ruizquinones9262]

Aluber could be saint 666

[@Tokumastu1]

@@josea.ruizquinones9262 A strong possibility, but as it has been shown Aluber just showed up out of nowhere as Maximus embraced the stigmatika powers and transformed the city and the citizens into the depians. I feel like we're missing one more key player in this story.

[@GenesisOfEva]

It’s the worst that iris is gone bro I hate it so much

[@idanbeg]

Yesssssss 🥳🥳 Is that the “final” lore of the albaz related cards?

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

I don't think so, it's got a pretty big cliffhanger! Since POTE is the first of the new 4 Core Set Cycle, I believe we'll see at least 3 more installments, though if the Structure deck counted as one of them, we may only see 2.

[@idanbeg]

@@GoldenNovaYugioh ohh got it thanks!

[@NawrasEpicDuel]

The new card that was released today indicates that Fleurdellis is not dead but rather consumed into Despia and becoming one of them. We need a new lore video on this now.

[@jasperjavillo686]

Here’s another silly tech pick for Sprights: Junk Synchron and Warrior. As long as you’re not in a Level/Rank/Link 2 lock, you use your normal summon for Synchron and go into Warrior, using the archetype’s quick effect summon and attack boost to boost your level 2 monster count and ATK before Junk Warrior’s effect resolves for Zexal levels ATK.

[@creeeamy7133]

I might be entirely wrong here, but, I think Alba-Renatus is actually a god, at least to some degree. First, the name; Alba, the fallen of Albaz implies wherever he came from, and thus wherever Aluber came from, is called Albaz, potentially named after Alba. Renatus doesn't seem to actually be the name, rather a suffix, Renatus, which translates to "Reborn" or "Born anew". So Alba-Renatus is Alba Reborn. Then there's the title "The Abyss dragon". There's nothing particularly abyssal about him, and I don't think it's just some edgy title, the continent of the Albaz story is simply called Abyss. "The Abyss Dragon" to me at least, implies that Alba is on some level, deeply connected to Abyss itself, not simply that he exists on it. Aluber was "Split by the Abyss", Alba forms when the 2 halves are united. I might be entirely wrong, but I believe the Dogmatika church accidentally seperated Albaz from Aluber when bringing them into the Abyss. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Alba is Dogmatika/Despia's god, the Dragon of Abyss.

[@jojodudeman4291]

Very confusing when you say, "they" for singular charters.

[@In.New.York.I.Milly.Rock.]

The fact that Albaz has the icejade shiv on hand and there's an explosion blowing him away could very well mean that he punctured someting inside the chest brand which caused the explosion. I don't mean to say that the explosion wasn't unexpected, but I believe it's fair to say it's a result of Albaz's actions while absorbed (it also fits way better as a story beat).

[@Vam246]

21:21 if I find out that Duel terminal and Albaz are in the same STINKING universe I am going to scream at the top of my lungs in catastrophically confused pain. Makes my Albaz Dragonmaid theory a little less insane though...

[@haridziran114]

Any chance of having Tri-Brigade suddenly swoops in with newfound power and saves the day? At least saving that main couple, retreating back before organizing a final strike?

[@justice8718]

I have investigating their cards lately. I have a feeling there was a bribe involving necromancy and unborn children. Kitt’s sister specifically has the title of “Barren blossom”. In their last appearance, Aluber is about to hold Shurag’s gun with one overly extended hand. It looks less like Shurag is struggling and more like Aluber is enticing him with an offering he cannot refuse.

[@gabrielsalinas1019]

I think aluber didn’t have the power but imitate it with the despias efforts meaning why the “dragon” was made of silk rather than scales and meat, and also why its a fiend and not a dragon
