I mean people seem to forget sometimes that the sub heading to Yu-Gi-Oh is ‘King of GAMES’. Multiple games. Not just the card game.

[@low-fatmilklove1187]

I’m sure that was the original idea before the series started to focus on the card game, but after the Konami Card game came out, it seemed to change from “This Kid, Yugi, is the King of Games,” to “This game, Yu-Gi-Oh, is king and all other games are lesser to it.” I’m sure Konami marketing had a blast with that.

If the original manga version of Capsule Monsters was made in real life I would be totally into it, that's sure.

[@26th_Primarch]

Yeah except that it would rely on Gashopan (probably misspelled that) EXPENSIVE machines heavily and that isn't a big seller in the U.S.

[@WaterKirby1994]

You have to wonder why Gashopan never became a thing in the US, I mean we have claw machines here & candy dispenser machines. I feel like I've actually encountered a toy capsule machine a couple of times as a child though. 2-3 inch Capsule figures for DC, Marvel, Pokemon, etc. would probably be really popular as an alternative to claw machines here if given a chance. Also how much do Gashopan cost anyway? If they are everywhere in Japan, why couldn't they be used in places that have Claw Machines here? If I had the option of paying $1 for a capsule with toys from a series I enjoy & 1/4th of that for a claw machine, I would choose the capsule easily.

[@26th_Primarch]

@@WaterKirby1994 Well there is the costs for licensing the toys, making the toys, making the capsules for the toys, printing the little paper showing the rest of that toy's series "YOU NEED TO GET ALSO". And then there's the costs of manufacturing (and probably importing) the machines themselves, printing the flashy posters or advertising on the machines. And most companies in the U.S. that has those machines rent them.

[@kompuglobalhypermega]

@@26th_Primarch That's funny. I live in a small town (around 10 000 citizens) in Czech Republic in Central Europe and every drugstore has the gashapon machines, so I don't really get that whole "it's too expensive" thing.

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

@@Mailed-Knight Yeah, but after Duelist Kingdom they're just kind of "there". The only time either of them did anything of relevance after Tristan's suit of armor thing was Tristan finding Joey once and both of them getting possessed in different arcs by said arcs' big bads. They went from characters that *sometimes* did something to possession fodder halfway through the manga (and the anime, of course, skips the first quarter). I suppose that's why Capsule Monsters and the Virtual World Round 2 fillers tried to give them more to do - because otherwise they'd be useless most of the time, instead of half of the time.

[@tomforge614]

The PS2 game was pretty nice. Good gameplay and wonderful graphics/level design. At the same time, there's no denying that the story is nonexistent, and the collections both require about 5+ playthroughs (which can grow dull without serious breaks) and end up feeling a bit empty compared to the already 1000+ strong selection of monsters to choose from in the card game at the time.

[@AndrewJasonQuan]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters Collesium was actually pretty fun, assuming you turned off battle animations. I primarily used an army of Skelengel due to their unique attack pattern and a Blue Eyes Ultimate just to obliterate everything else. It was actually kind of like playing Fire Emblem with Yu-gi-oh monsters. Aside from the card game eclipsing the other two games. Dungeon Dice Monsters and Capsule Monsters also never had a chance to take off because making plastic figures is much more expensive than printing paper cards.

Sad how the only Yugioh Anime to be shown fully (other than the Original if you don't count Season 0) in the States is the worst Yugioh series Zexal. GX Season 4 never aired, 5Ds had tons of episodes missing from WRGP Saga & Ark Cradle Saga shared the same fate as GX's final season to be skipped entirely in favor of a newer series. Arc V Season 2 never aired for unknown reasons, & I don't think VRains will ever air seeing as Nicktoons has completely stopped showing Yugioh Animes. Curse the United States & it's extremely poor treatment of anime series aimed at kids that aren't Pokemon. Your FCC & Channels that don't like Japanese series getting dubbed. That can't stand Japanese intro & end themes. Actually the Channel thing is probably more "I want 7 full minutes of commercials at least!" which is why they would rather not show Japanese series.

A lot of people actually prefer Dragon Knight to Ryuuki. In Japan, it even got an official novelized sequel. It's just that the show didn't do too well here in America due to a variety of factors (poor marketing, bad time slot, being compared to Power Rangers, Bandai America making godawful merchandise that was somehow worse than what was available 7 years prior, the show being highly serialized resulting in people jumping in partway through being completely lost, 4Kids' arbitrary rules about shows ending in December preventing the final two episodes from being shown, etc.)

I can tell you right now that Capsule Monsters PS2 is THE BOMB. I played it all the time as a kid and recently revived the game to jam out with my flatmates. I recognized the map from the physical game as one of the many maps from the PS2 game too. It’s surprisingly deep, with each monster having different move & attack ranges, and specials they can earn as they level up. Unfortunately there’s no hard mode, the game just has you replay the story when you finish it. So once you have a sufficiently powerful deck, the only way you’re going to have any challenge at all is if you play against another player. On a PS2 game. That never had any online functionality. That depends on collecting and leveling a bunch of monsters. Needless to say; that’s probably a reason the game died.

Capsule Monsters wasn't a spin off. if anything the card game is the spin off. it was just the more successful of the two, and due to popular demand thats the game the series followed after season 0.

[@Burger_pants]

yup, gotta love content creators who can't spend 30 minutes to research before making a video, anyone who would know WTF this is knows it's from season 0

[@kyoyameganebereznoff]

FuturePants He mentions in the video that it’s originally from season zero. I think he’s referring the 4Kids commissioned episodes as the spin-off.

[@darrienjones8917]

I'll admit I actually liked the capsule monster episode and dungeon dice monsters. They were unique and not all about the card game. I thought the armored forms were cool. I may be in the minority but still. I think just thinking of the entire series as just the card game is why most people seemed to hate it when they deviated from the card game.

[@villekuronen2171]

I would LOVE for you to look at Duelists of the roses. It might be closer to normal yugioh than caosule monsters and not have an anime to go with it but its still so wierd

[@DynamicHaze]

Where are the Brothers of the Bell? Let's represent, we are here early.

[@Kwjehehebebb]

1:19 from my understanding the objective is to capture the king. You never actually take the piece.

[@Mailed-Knight]

You are correct.

[@VSDeluxe]

Capaule Monsters was the first Time I saw yugioh as a Kid on TV. (Joe in the Labyrinth) Here in Germany its a own Season.

[@Rigermonster]

Your videos keep bringing back latent childhood memories. I only remember this because I had some of the toys from this.

Long live the Yo-Kai masterace

Capsule monsters sounds like Pokemon

[@NameName2.0]

Pokemon sounds like duel monsters. Or belt monsters.

[@shreym03]

I loved the original Manga series. Shame it wasn't that popular and the whole series completely shifted to cards

[@blackopsmajorr5]

To Me the video games weren't a failed spin off. In fact I want sooo much more of it! Me and my brother couldn't get enough of it. Especially capsule monster coliseum. I wish they would have gone further. I think they didn't take enough opportunity to advertise it better. Pokemon xd gale of darkness is the same to me. Such an amazing concept and game but never fully used to its full potential. Instead it's just left alone to slowly be forgotten. Yes I also know he's mainly talking about the anime, but it includes the games as well.

[@renaxakai3]

I liked Capsule Monsters.. Mostly I enjoyed how stupid it was.

[@gamerath5331]

Who is best girl in yugioh and why is it akiza

[@kobecharles]

Yoooo this was my favourite Yu-Gi-Oh! Thing 😂 I had these on DVD and watched them all the time

[@nerdgoodness7656]

Such a great video. Now if only we got some Bushiroad focused videos over here!

[@mrmysterious8124]

Can you look at Godzilla Planet of the Monsters??????????

[@EndGameEnt]

I love the original series so much that I watched the Japanese seasons as well but this Capsule monsters series looks awful.

[@steakcrust558]

This channel is like unlocking deep hidden memories

[@gillysummerss]

I remember reading the manga once and yugi wasn’t playing duel monsters he would just play some random game with his opponents and it confused tf outta me

[@billiam]

First!

[@AdaptiveReasoning]

Nice work man!

[@donuttheturtle2.070]

Billiam not even first on his own vid

[@renaxakai3]

Was going to down vote because of that kind of comment, but I'll give you a pass.

[@dragonmaster613]

The only good thing that came from Capsule Monsters is: that one ritual monster based on the Joey/Red-Eyes hybrid. It is a Broken card.

[@MitchieDBBC]

Dude, you're shaking loose SO many memories from me.

[@LadyIcee]

You got me at DNA Digivolve lol good one!

[@saberx2321]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster on the video game on ps2 was super fun! And I like the tv show, it was my guilty pleasure. I still go back and watch that season. But the manga and game did it justice.

[@yadsewnde8699]

The episodes and video game looks gas tho' lol. Love joey's accent and the shows style

[@feanaro2712]

I remember trying to watch this when I was younger and obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't think I ever made it past the first episode.

[@SiRenfield]

Oh my god I cannot wait for the Capsule Monsters Abridged series to get to Tristan’s weird melon obsession 😂
