Ancient Warriors + Lore Explained In 50 Minutes (feat ArtistWithAfro) [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetype Analysis]

[@jasperism27]

Lu Bu betraying you even in card form is hilarious

[@Kardz6]

And then betraying the opponent if he activates his effect since it locks you to Ancient warrior :)

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

@@Kardz6 And then switching sides _AGAIN_ if you use Deception and Betrayal's effect the turn after _THAT._

[@dracojensei1141]

And Lu Feng

[@vincesims8839]

I'm having dynasty warriors 4 PTSD

[@vincesims8839]

​@dracojensei1141 he's using the source material name from the literary work the cards were modeled after. In The Romance of The Three Kingdoms his name is Lu Bu.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

And I think you every day for think so highly of me! xD

[@pn2294]

Who?

[@jksanrio]

Adding another fun fact, the “new” names of the YGO cards are actually just taken from the other name of the person. Back then, and I’m not sure why, people had two given names, one name with one word and the other with two words. While in the novels and dynasty warriors people usually refer to only family name plus their main one-word given name (even though when they introduce themselves to people, they introduce both names), the yugioh cards take the family name plus the first word of other name, so it is their real name but not at the same time. Really enjoyed the discussion in the end. This is one of my recent fav videos!

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

I'm glad you enjoyed! So glad I could bring ArtistWithAfro in to help!

[@MansMan42069]

You're talking about "courtesy names", also referred to as "style names". It's a cultural practice where a person receives another name upon reaching adulthood. It replaces the person's given name. For example, Cao Cao (styled Mengde). When spoken to, he would be called Cao Mengde. So Ancient Warrior card names combine the two into a new name, Cao Cao and Mengde become Cao De.

[@artistwithafro909]

Thank you Soooo much for collaborating with me on this video. Sorry my audio sounds so bad >_< this is getting me pumped to make even more AW videos

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Hey, no worries! I think the quality of what you brought to the table far outshined any of that. And thank you so much for your help! Can wait to see more of your outstanding AW vids!

[@MansMan42069]

Correction on the point you made @27:38 about Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan is actually a reference to Zhang Liao (styled Wenyuan). Notice he also has black armour that has a similar design to Lu Feng, alluding to the fact that Zhang Liao was formerly a subordinate of Lu Bu.

[@nigelnguyen9844]

Love me some ancient warriors. Just a fun archetype. Wish KONAMI stop releasing random archetypes with no good support or already too tier deck support and just focus on existing ones so every deck can be good 😌

[@jaykun182]

This is one of my favorite rogue decks. Once you get going ancient warriors flood flood field and can stop your opponent in their tracks and attack over almost anything.

[@7Kingsmen]

There are only a few ancient warrior monster cards I have not used. Sun Mo is the MVP even when Rebellious effect where he betrays you Sun Mo steps in to return him to the hand. Double Dragon is the playoff MVP! This deck breaks boards and FTK and OTKS EASILY AND A LOT! I use every spell and trap that is for this archetype and the trap path has saved my behind numerous of times while the other trap I summon Ambitious out to protect other AW monsters and his 3000 scares off the opponent! VERY UNDERRATED DECK!

[@juniorrng7950]

Fun fact (late though), the name of each Ancient warrior monster is based on their name given from birth and their styled name (name given when reaching maturity) For example: Ancient warrior Rebllious Lu Feng -> Lu Bu is his birth name while Feng is part of his style name (his full style name is FengXian) Another one is Ancient warrior Ambitious Cao De -> Cao Cao (birth name) and De (Mengde is his style name) If hypothetically, they were to add a new Ancient warrior for example, Yuan shao, it would be something like: Ancient Warrior Noble Yuan Chu -> (Yuan Shao First Name) and (Ben Chu is his styled name).

[@Athem2293]

This is EVERYTHING! Thanks a lot, to both of you, this is my favorite archetype ever, I just love the details, the mechanics, the history behind and u both nailed it. Again, just thanks for this quiality content.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Always glad to deliver! Wouldn't have been able to do it without my wonderful co-host!

Cao De is hilarious. I watched my girlfriend steal a Dragoon with him once. The salt was glorious. XD

You always play my favorite anime and video game soundtracks. Part of the fun is remembering what property the track is from.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Glad you enjoy them! I love getting to use all these old games music since they brought me such joy.

[@darylmendoza5650]

Having cards and history combine together... you'll have a playing deck with a History... I can say that aspect of Konami creating cards from the past history and other genre from the around the world...

[@SwiftJustice]

There's a History Channel card game called Anachronism.

[@krossofages]

I was already subscribed to him to thank you for getting somehow two goated yugitubers in one video now all we need is mbt and it'd be perfevt

[@epicriku9162]

Very underrated this is my main master duel deck rn lol

[@JurassicMajin]

Absolutely loved this video and absolutly love what Konami done with the archtype. Would love to see the meng huo faction or any other faction to be honest. Knowing how many love and care Konami put in this archtype already. Makes me more excited for any other cards that will arrive one day.

[@Cwronaga216]

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

I wonder if Konami will make a solo mode gate for Ancient Warriors, and if so, will they add to it if more cards are introduced like Savage Don Ying and Deception and Betrayal was recently, to continue the story.

[@mr.mimikyu2342]

I'm still waiting for Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai to become Ancient Warriors

[@fabianbeteta5795]

Waiting for the six samurai archetype video.

[@nemo0036]

Dunno if you'll ever see this comment, but another thing: The Ancient Warrior names are a mixture of the Three Kingdom Characters' NAMES and STYLE NAMES. e.g. LIU Bei (Style Name: XUANde) = Liu Xuan With Lu Bu being introduced, I almost think IF they introduce more Ancient Warriors, it would be the Tyrant Dong Zhuo and the fictional Enchantress Diao Chan. Calling it now: Dong Zhuo (Style Name Zhongying) = Tyrannical Dong Ying (or Dong Zhong)

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

I'll keep this in mind if it happens!

[@MansMan42069]

Ancient Warrior Sima Da Ancient Warrior Zhao Long

[@MansMan42069]

Lmao you called it with Ancient Warriors Don Ying

[@nemo0036]

@@MansMan42069 Thanks! I just KNEW, if they did Lu Bu (style name Fengxian) (Lu Feng), they would do Dong Zhuo (style name Zhongying) (Don Ying) next! Historically (Records of the Three Kingdoms) and fictionally (Romance of the Three Kingdoms), the 2 of them were that intertwined with each other.

[@Rooibos_Marvelous]

Mtg sagas making an appeaeance XD

[@jacobmoorman6323]

Cool things to note is that the Attributes these monsters have also have to do with the factions they represent. The Kingdom of Wu is Water (Sun Mou, Lu Jing, Zhou Gong) Started along a River and excelled in Naval Combat. The Kingdom of Wei (Jia Wen, Zhang Yuan, Cao De) Is most likely Fire due to the fact their Emblem was discovered by tracking down a fallen star, where they found a Small brass statue of a bird, hence they adopted this Good Omen as Their symbol into being a Pheonix. The Kingdom of Shu is Wind (Liu Xuan, Zhang De, Guan Yun, and Zhuge Kong) this is based on the story that when Shu and Wu took on Wei in a great Naval Battle at Chi Bi, Zhuge Kong allegedly Used magic to get wind blowing the right way for a Fire Attack to work and Decimate the Wei Navy. The Dark Attribute is for Lu Feng, who Served Numerous Warlords and Eventually became a power in his own right for a little bit. While he was undoubtedly the Greatest Warrior China had, He was Very Treacherous, and Always betrayed whoever he served. When he betrayed Liu Xuan, who took him in, He fought against Wei, Liu Xuan, Zhang De, and Guan Yun and was eventually captured and Executed.

Anyone Else wondering why they’re all beast-warriors?

[@wyrmshogun5245]

Their armor has some animal traits

[@GatsbyCioffi]

The Wiki says it's due to their armor representing different animals. I believe the Chinese literature often compared the attitudes of the different Three Kingdoms leaders to animals, so hence, we get Beast-Warriors. Sucks we can't use ROTA, but we CAN use Tenki! 😎
