Can You Beat Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories Using An Insect Only Deck?

This video shows what it takes to beat Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories only using Insects for monsters with no cheats or use of the PocketStation. Most people who have beaten the game have used the iconic Thunder + Dragon fusion to make Twin-headed Thunder Dragon - I have many times as well. But my love for this game needed revigoration and so I no longer use the fusion. Come with me on this journey to not only beat the game with only Insects but every other type of monster as well!

Please, if you enjoyed the video and would like to see more leave suggestions not just for more videos but to improve the editing of my videos. I did some different things throughout the video to see what people enjoyed most. How did you like the way I edited the duels together? Was I talking too fast? Did you enjoy the visuals? I'm dedicated to making this better. Also, I know @Jon_Oh has made a video of this exact topic already. But I've been sitting on this footage for almost a year and had some ideas of my own of how I wanted the video to be. I have to thank him because seeing him make videos of the exact same idea has given me the motivation to go through with what I had planned. So thanks man, I hope people who watch your videos and mine can enjoy both and don't choose one or the other. Anyways, I'm extremely proud of what I came up with in this video and I'm theorycrafting the next one as soon as I finish this comment. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

[@LeiraVeil-Challenge]

i really dont mind that someone else has done the video in fact i welcome anyone doing challenge runs of this gem of a game. but please change up your thumbnails. i legit thought i was clicking a Jon_Oh vid...

[@babysquash6135]

I honestly feel like it's the same concept as Fallout, Skyrim and Pokémon challenge runs. No one person owns the genre, and if it gets us more KZbinrs creating amazing Yu-Gi-Oh content than I feel like the majority of us are all here for it.

[@redeyeskuriboh2839]

@@LeiraVeil-Challenge You thought you were clicking that because the titles and content are so similar. What different thumbnail was he possibly supposed to use? it has the game title, and a card on it. Other dude doesn't own the genre. There just doesn't happen to be many people running the archetype gauntlet for this game and this is the first time it's really been done. With the content being so similar, there is genuinely no other way to present the information differently. If you exclusively want videos from the other channel, sub to them and turn notifications on. There's nothing wrong with the thumbnails 😂 Do you click other links and think you're clicking something else? might be a you problem..

[@LeiraVeil-Challenge]

@@redeyeskuriboh2839 it's not just a me problem I assure you. Yes the titles and content are similar....but that doesn't mean the thumbnail has to be an exact carbon copy down to placement, font ect.

@@LeiraVeil-Challenge Just checked, they're nothing similar. The font is slightly different (it's font anyway they're going to look similar). Jon_oh's has no forbidden memories graphic in it. Jon_oh's has a different card. Jon_oh's doesn't have weevil in it. How much different would you like a literal 400px image to be?

[@sorma007]

Lol the boots XD

[@B-Raven]

Monotype challenges for this game are always fun to watch, so I'm glad you uploaded this, despite Jon-Oh doing it already. Just cuz two people have the same idea, at different points in time, doesn't mean it's a "rip-off", and it's cool to see somewhat different approaches! As a future challenge run for this game, maybe you could try one of the more "obscure" types. Like maybe Rock? I don't remember all the cards for each type, but if memory serves, rock and pyro might be the toughest, with very few exceptions. Great video btw, I really enjoyed it!

[@FunBox.]

Thanks! I appreciate the support. Rock and Pyro would definitely be difficult especially Pyro because the card pool is so small for that type that I'm unsure how to deal with it. Rock is a great type because the playstyle to progress would not be the typical way of playing, so it will make for an interesting journey.

[@Metalhammer1993]

with this fgame especially it just means two people are insane^^ I just played it for the first time in a good chunk over 20 years. HOW TF did I play this as a kid without Fusion guides etc? It's not a good feeling to be 30 and be humbled by your 6 year old self that couldn't even read^^

[@B-Raven]

Old school games are just built different. I swear, if it wasn't for that one Megamorph I won AT RANDOM, against Pegasus in the story, I would've never beaten the game as a kid. And even then... How tf did I get past the Blue Eyes Hydra is a mystery

[@Metalhammer1993]

@@B-Raven Yeah, amen brother. we should have never listened to our parents and stopped playing games, those games tauht us endurance as kids. not the modern instant gratification shit, but let's dgrind ouur teeth out^^ I swear old school games are built different and they build us differently as kids. Like back in early 2000s nothing was more stubborn than a 6 year old that couldn't beat a boss, I swear.

[@B-Raven]

Oh yeah, I remember those days. Those were the days, for sure! And yeah, old school games ARE built different. Heck, lately I'm more drawn to PS1, PS2 and Nintendo DS games a LOT more than newer ones. I feel retro gaming is that one pleasure any gamer can enjoy once they find their niche

[@RarutoUchiha2]

I'm so happy to see more people doing challenge runs of this game. I'd love to see if it's possible to beat Forbidden Memories with only indirect damage like defense monsters and/or burn cards. Or even if it's possible to beat it by just Exodia's effect.

[@FunBox.]

I've theorycrafted what a burn deck might look like and unfortunately it would have to rely on the Trap Cards Goblin Fan and Bad Reaction to Simochi in order to get to 8000 damage, so it's purely reliant on the actions of the opponents and not viable. However, I have an idea to incorporate burn cards into a monster type that has cohesion in terms of fusions and already have the deck list for that video.

[@MuteKaizer]

sounds very interesting but theres so little in terms of actual ways to deal indirect damage in this game. you can manipulate the ai to an extent but once you get to the final 6 your unlikely to be able to get them to attack you enough for game through that before you deck out. theres only a handfull of burn cards too so it would be a RNG nightmare...but still one i would like to see attempted.

[@FunBox.]

@MuteKaizer I've planned it out, it would be a brutally long process to make a video out of, and still may not be possible, but I do have an idea of how to pull it off.

[@0slygoose0]

Mate this was such an amazingly put together video! I loved every minute of it! The pacing was amazing and the editing was superb. I have seen other creators put together similar videos but yours are way above those in my opinion. For me, the nostalgic element of this game is the grinding. Other creators just start with an OP deck with all the early equips. Yours felt so much more authentic. I'd love to see more videos from you!!!! Please keep up this content 🔥🔥🔥

And I loved the train of thought when making and explaining the deck and the changes you made a long the way. The way the duels were edited, I didn't feel like I missed anything important but they didn't show every second of every duel. It also felt like a real challenge, you didn't give yourself any unfair advantages. Seriously good :) Thanks for the effort.

T.h.t.d the game. I've beaten the game for the first time earlier this year. And I i remember one round while grinding A/S Tec for Pegasus, I had a board of 5 T.H.T.D because the game just did not want to give me the trap card I still needed to use.

it would be interesting an only ritual challenge. i like the edit of this video is very good and i checked out your channel i liked that fact that you came back after so long. subscribed.

[@SHADOMEGA7569]

In order to do that within his rules he'd have to fuse Cosmo queen prayer until he can obtain a drop/pass version meaning his deck will consist of princess of tsurugi, queens double, queen of autumn leaves, power ups for tsurugi and queens double as well as farming widespread, ATH, and Invisible Wire. It's a pain in the ass and the actual ritual monsters that can be summoned from hand are locked behind the pocket station witch is a JP exclusive

[@theblekedet6467]

Great video and editing! That Seto 3rd duel was exhilarating! A bit of suggestion, some of the music you used drowned your voice a bit in my experience. I'm looking forward for more challenge runs!

[@FunBox.]

Thanks for the kind words! In actuality, it was that very video and the shortcuts he used that motivated me to finally finish my own because I felt his video wasn't really a challenge. He started off with 3 Kuwagata Alphas and like 15 Equip Cards and I'm thinking... where's the challenge in that? I do still have to thank him, though. If he didn't make that I may have never been motivated to finish this video. P.S. I'm already at Seto 2nd with another monster type ;) new vid is coming

Doing this in vanilla is nuts. 15 card mod really spoiled me. Kudos!

[@FunBox.]

Thanks alot! I feel you can only really answer the question "Can You Beat The Game Using Only *insert monster type*?" by doing it legit - no mods, no starting out with good cards, etc. Anything short of that I don't think makes it a challenge and isn't genuine.

[@Raheel_Ishaq]

@@FunBox. It certainly is a challenge with those type of restrictions. Personally,I only use the drop mod due to time constraints. Still, doing this in vanilla is all the more impressive. 😀

[@FunBox.]

@@Raheel_Ishaq Oh, I wasn't saying you shouldn't use the mods you do to play how you wanna play. I was only talking about specifically making videos for the challenges. I don't want to cheat my way through because it feels disingenuous to the viewer.

[@BuenDude]

52:46 that was smooth

[@kenelt]

absolute madlad doing it the legit way. all those "can you beat the game with x build" proceed to cheat in every way posible. like no shit. you can win when you clone all the best cards.

[@FunBox.]

That's what I'm saying! I thought a lot more people would appreciate that I did not simply give myself cards and say, "Durrr I wonder if I can beat Villager 1 with Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth in my deck," I had to set up a plan on how I was going to do this 100% legit, but because a person who cheated his way to get cards uploaded first I'm now suddenly a copycat. I'm honestly surprised at these group of people's way of thinking.

[@FunBox.]

@IndexInvestingWithCole it's not hard to see it in his videos. He doesn't hide it. His latest zombie one has snapshots of him "winning" cards but he has a cheat on that wins him the duel before it starts. His spoils screen shows his opponents didn't even draw a card. Is that not cheating? Calling me a baby for telling the truth is hilarious

[@kenelt]

@@FunBox. to be fair he is very honest from the begining and says he use the card duplications and RNG manipulation he doesnt hide it at all. that been say i belive there is a lot of value on doing it the legit way. and thats why while i do prefer your video i dont want to shit on to the other guy because he is honest on his methods and is not trying to cheat a speedrun or nothing alike. there are different audiences like people who enjoy eny% exploit filled speedruns vs a 100% no exploit runs which i do prefer.

[@FunBox.]

@kenelt I hear what you're saying, and I didn't even have this opinion until fanboys started flocking and commenting nonsense, so I grew a resentment to how he made his videos. I had this footage for a long time. My first ever community tab post referred to this video, and that was over a year ago. When I saw his videos in my recommended, I was interested to see what someone else came up with, and I became very disappointed. That's why I'm making my own. In my eyes, there should be a standard for this kind of challenge that he isn't meeting. I think I'm doing a good job excluding ignoring the hate. I need to stop reacting to it. I'm just going to make what I think is great from now on and block the few people who leave nasty comments like this previous one. Also, card duplication and RNG manipulation is one thing, I wouldn't have a problem with that. In fact, I used RNG manip to get a 3rd Jirai Gumo, but he has a cheat on in the DuckStation emulator called "P2 No LP," where you win before the duel even begins. He also gives himself a lot of equip cards and stronger monsters to start the game off, which takes away the challenge. I don't know, this isn't me hating the guy, he seems like a nice dude in his videos, but I just have this idea of what these challenge runs should be and it feels like he takes the easy path. It's frustrating to me.

[@MuteKaizer]

honestly i dont think card cloning is an issue so long as people are clear and honest about it. now getting end game cards via it early on that is a bit of a problem. but most people dont have access to the pocketstation cards so it rarely comes up.

[@shadowfang1034]

7:00 Can you maybe share the gameover kuriboh gif? I cant find it online, did you like use the ripped sprites to make it yourself? Also I like how you dont start the challenge with duplicating all useful spell cards with multiple memory cards, kinda feels more genuine to just play the game and take what you get, normally you barely any magic cards. Showing your current deck on the side of the screen is also a great visual.

[@FunBox.]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I did make the Kuriboh entirely on my own, ripped from the game and that's why he's so hazy. I want to sharpen the images with an updated look but that's going to take some time. I'm happy that you like how I start the challenge, I feel the way I do it is actually challenging and takes a lot more time and thought to work my way up the game. Even the deck being shown at the side took a lot of time to pull off. Just getting the card images took a long time but it was definitely worth it.

So, download that emulator, download Forbidden Memories, go into the cheat manager and give yourself all cards on one memory card.

have you considered using ×5 cards or more for your challenges? i know youre doing them in the unmodded yugioh fm and i respect that a lot, but farming in the original yugioh fm can become miserable sometimes due to drop rates (especially with how long it takes to do tec); i speak from a place of empathy, because as a viewer it doesnt change much, just a suggestion thats all

[@FunBox.]

Thanks for the concern. I made it easier on myself for the next video, which should be up soon.

@@alanpro1006 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@spectralsheep]

Have you tried the 15 card mod? May make the game a bit more bearable for grinding.

[@FunBox.]

Oh yeah, popular with speedrunning. But I want to keep the Challenge Runs completely legit, which is why I don't stuff the starting deck with a bunch of equips or just give myself the strongest cards in an archetype because I feel grinding should be a big part of how these challenge runs play out. I want there to be a possibility that I have to work around not being able to get cards to drop - to me, it adds authenticity. I could be wrong, though. Maybe people don't care that I try to keep these challenges as legit as possible.

[@ELcabo555]

Keep it up bro

Next video already being edited!

[@ELcabo555]

@FunBox. would love to see a yugi deck run only. Using only yugi cards 😅 I tried but I could not do it.

[@kintsuki99]

To be fair your challenge is harder thab Jon_Oh, without the duplicate thing. How do you do to have access to all start drcks?

[@mauer1]

yeah seto definitly not losing on purpose with that last attack *cough cough*

Can you do a warrior run next. Thats my favorite type

[@FunBox.]

Warriors is definitely on my list.

[@Carlet_S]

doesn't jirai gumo have boots because they just took the model for another monster (kumootoko I think) and recolored it?

[@FunBox.]

Kumootoko actually shares its model with Hunter Spider. They just messed up with Jirai Gumo lol

[@diogostratega6002]

Very cool, its sad that the game doesn't drop the stronger insect and give the players more chose for their decks For me makes no sense meadow mage is the only one that drops a 3500 card in a high rate and nobody that drops a weaker card like great moth

[@FunBox.]

Yeah, it sucks not to be able to get Great Moth or even have a Petit/Larvae Moth fusion with Cocoon of Evolution to make one. However, the game being designed the way it is makes videos like this one more interesting.

[@leawright588]

Like this one Question though, you skipped the battlenwhen you first run into Seto after he beats Joey, why?

[@FunBox.]

Are you referring to 8:36 where I choose 'Pass' over 'Duel'? Whenever this game gives you an option, it doesn't affect anything besides a couple lines of dialogue. You're never meant to Duel Seto in the Town Plaza, so just choosing 'Pass' is merely to get him to say something different.

[@leawright588]

Ooooh, i see So even if you had chosen duel, Seto would have declined your challenge?

[@FunBox.]

@leawright588 he gets called away by a Messenger who tells him Heishin wants him. In other runs I've done, you can see it happen.

[@leawright588]

Saw this and though 'oh, a Jon-Oh clone' Boy was I wrong, same concept but wildly different execution. Thoroughly enjoyed and looking forward to the next one. One minor gripe, when showing how you swapped cards out of your deck with the sliding animation, the deck on the left didn't update at the same time. Counter point, Joey punching the Mountain Mage out of existence got a chuckle out of me :)

[@FunBox.]

I appreciate you giving the video a chance! It's been getting dislikes and people calling me a copycat or a clone because they think Jon_oh is the only one who could have come up with this idea.

[@diojoestar9646]

No perfectly ultimate great moth makes me sad

More please

You got it.

[@NeidischAkaNV]

I wonder if someone actually tried character themed decks 🤔 thinking about it, kinda make it seem impossible for some characters. Probs everything below Pegasus couldn't beat the game.

[@FunBox.]

I don't think Ishizu or Kaiba could even do it. The real problem with attempting it is so many duelists lack Equip Cards to attack over the big boss monsters. But maybe I'll look into it down the road... it's a good idea.

[@NeidischAkaNV]

@@FunBox. Huh didn't think about equip cards. I barely know their decks.😅Only know some of their usual Summons like blue eyes or that thousand year old turtle.

Because you can't get them normally, and honestly, it would have been too easy.

[@AlpacaLaca88]

I’m genuinely don’t want to sound like I’m trying to take any accomplishments from you because this a great video but I’d at least try to make your thumbnail unique from Jon ohs videos because I thought it was one his his when I clicked on it and could see how some would call you a copy cat. But like I said very nice video and I hope to see more from you

[@coreyhall5065]

I agree as I had a similar thought process as you when I first saw it in my recommendations. The dude obviously put a lot of effort into the video and it is really well done. And while it is just a picture from the box art, I think the overall composition does it no favors and inevitably leads to unfair comparisons. Which sucks cause I don't want either of their content to get overshadowed by one another or lead to constant comparisons because of thumbnails. I've seen it hapoen in other communities for more trivial stuff than this. I hope for future videos the thumbnail is changed slightly to make it more distinct for his channel and to help differentiation them

[@FunBox.]

To be real for a bit, I put much more work into my thumbnail. If you see the actual card from the game as well as Atem's thumb then that should be indication enough that it's my video. I also ripped the image for the Forest Shrine to fit with the Insect theme as the background and used the game's logo within the question. People can't seem to get over the fact that we both used Atem from the cover of the game, which is such an obvious use for a thumbnail that to think I stole the idea is ludicrous. There is only so much space in a thumbnail image to use and having Atem on the right side makes the most sense as that is where the timestamp resides, I don't want the question being blocked by it so it has to be on the left. This is an extremely frustrating experience getting fanboys from a dude who - let's be honest - cheats his cards into his runs. I thought people would appreciate that this run is 100% legit but apparently all that matters is who did it first. I appreciate you not just simply calling me a copycat, mimic, or the worst one yet is bandwagoner. Thanks for recognizing the work I put in, I will look to see what I can add to make it more noticeable that you are clicking on a legit challenge run for the next video and I may change this one as well because I'm just so tired of this opinion.

[@AlpacaLaca88]

@@FunBox. I simply made a suggestion about the thumbnail so you can stand out from others. My comments main point was to give you praise on a well made video. So I was a little surprised to receive an insecure message in return focusing on the one piece of constructive criticism ignoring everything else that you didn’t even make public. My bad for giving an honest opinion

[@FunBox.]

Sorry you thought I was replying to you. My reply was to someone who got deleted from this comment section because they started writing some pretty mean, outlandish things trying to discredit me. I did make slight tweaks to the thumbnail per your and others' suggestion. I'm still trying out new ideas so there is absolutely no way the thumbnails could be confused.
