Dude, as a seasoned dad, please don't feel the need to apologize! When it's a new thing, it can feel absolutely draining, and it can be hard to find ways to catch up on sleep.

People take sleep for granted. As someone who suffers from insomnia, I can tell you straight out, sleep is a god-damn blessing and those of you who do not suffer from it have no idea how good they have it. As such, welcome to the insomnia club, regardless of how you got there, hope your stay won't be chronic like mine.

Jon_Oh: "Shadi is a terrible duelist. If you lose to him, you suck at this game." Shadi in this run beats Heishin. Shadi: "So, you're saying there's a chance..."

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

The fact that the Pyro deck was the only other one able to beat Heishin's first encounter kind of shows that, while head Shadi's deck doesn't scale well into the Final Six, he's still good enough to beat the guy.

[@hungerxhunger2548]

​@@caiusdrakegaming8087 No this run is not realistic at all.

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

@@hungerxhunger2548 What are you talking about? Jon_Oh has no reason to lie about Shadi's deck beating Heishin's first encounter, especially when he flat out recorded him actually beating Heishin in the video. If you mean in general, he was limited to the cards AI Shadi could pull from, and the card pool Shadi has is limited to basically the one equip card Jon_Oh used. This is about as realistic as it could get when just using Shadi's cards in this game.

It would be great to see more of these, beating the game with a card pool of one of the NPCs is such a cool concept. I think Seto would be cool, he's the earliest enemy that has any way to answer a BEUD in the form of dark hole, you get spellbinding circle and swords of revealing light, you get all the field spells but no equip spells, you can't fuse THTD, and you get a 2300 built into the deck.

Modern yugioh has more of a problem with over centralization than with it being too fast. Most archetypes have a card that searches, one that special summons itself and/or constantly recur with little variation. Even the funny trap deck, Labyrinth, became a combo deck albiet on a much smaller scale. When your end game still tends to either end a board of generic negates, one big unaffected by all cards monster or a combination of the above, it gets really boring playing after a while unless you play under different restrictions with friends or something. Pokemon has the same issue where the deck lists have 80% of the same consistency cards and pokemon with a small smattering of your unique deck core due to how powercreep and the generic "goodstuff" cards tend to stay relevant for a while. tldr card games bad

Aww thanks! glad you enjoyed it Seb, hope the next one dropping soon is just as good :)

[@rangerfantasma]

That was absolutely amazing. Congrats, Jon_Oh!! A few things I thought when watching the video: - It's possible and painful to use Swords of Revealing Light by fusing Shadow Spell + Dark Piercing Light. Unfortunately Shadow Spell is locked on Pocketstation as well, but can be fused from Spellbinding Circle + Spellbinding Circle. - On these tough runs you should standardize using Magic Lock. Magic Lock works by having a card on your side whose basic ATK is lower than the opponent, but higher due to equip cards (field magic DO count, though). The opponent does not consider the equip cards for this check and that's why the suicide glitch works. Magic lock will prevent any magics such as Raigeki to be used while you fulfill this magic lock condition (the AI does not think its worth Raigeking you because your monster is "weaker", although it won't attack as you as well, unless in suicide glitch conditions). - Sometimes it's scary going for a fake out with low LP (maybe preparing for suicide glitch) against opponents that have Final Flame or other direct damage magic cards. You can prevent them to use it by having a back row magic or trap card (any one works). Looking forward to the next one! I'll love to see Simon getting his revenge.

[@Jon_Oh]

Thank you! I do sometimes dip into the above strats but not consciously as my main win condition. Swords is gonna be useful for a much later run where I'm basically locked to certain monsters

Oh now I see why Shadi is considered a joke due to looking at the game code. While he has a decent deck (including being able to access at least 1 Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon), in reality, the deck really struggles during the mid to late game by having small engines mixed in with no real cohesion. The good cards he does have are okay, but they need heavy support like the few equip cards he has. You really make these challenges entertaining and I learn something new every video about Forbidden Memories. 56:52 Sick Alt art for the card.

[@Chimeratech_O.D.]

Had an idea for a challenge run: Defeating Forbidden Memories with reflection damage. Aka the Fiend Reflection Run. FM has a glitch where the CPU will check whether or not it will attack based on an algorithm. This algorithm will check for if an attack will win them the game, and will immediately attack if so. The glitch is that this check applies BEFORE the game checks differences in original attacks. The result is that if you control monster A and they have monster B, and the original attacks mean that B against A would be lethal, the CPU will attack even if you load equips onto A to raise it above B. E.g. If you have 500LP, and summon the 0 ATK Millennium Shield with 2 megamorphs to make it 2000 ATK, then the game will willingly send a 1400 Bean Soldier into the Shield and take 600 damage, because if it applied the original 0 ATK of Shield, the attack would be lethal. Rules of the run: Any damage done to the opponent must be due to their own attacks. You can run weak monsters into the opponent to lower your LP enough for the glitch to apply. Duplicating cards and starting deck equip looping is fine.

[@Jon_Oh]

That us doable but so massively tedious. Heishin2 will be our biggest roadblock with his burn damage

If I was to do a type for each holiday it would be as follows Valentines Day: female St. Patrick's Day: jar or exodia (cuz only the power of booze could make THAT deck work) Independence Day (or national equivalent): warrior or thunder Easter: beast Thanksgiving: wingedbeast Halloween: fiend or spellcaster Christmas: fairy

[@Jon_Oh]

Gosh it's going to be a busy year!

[@GAMMAGOMA]

@Jon_Oh for St.Patric's day, I'd take a shot of something each time I lose. That something would have consumable alcohol in it, but only an amount that I could handle taking repeated shots from. Just because my Irish, Welsh, and Hispanic blood can handle being 50% booze doesn't mean everyone else can😏🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@vanya91-89]

I really enjoy these videos. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@Jon_Oh]

Glad you like them!

[@chaosryans]

Finally getting to use all the fusions is a huge bonus. No equipment is difficult in its own way though since some endgame monsters can overpower everything.

[@Jon_Oh]

Half the time its just retry-ing till you get a duel where they don't draw into their heavy hitters

[@BlazingLee0610]

Wa wa wee wa. Didn't see this run coming. Love your videos on this game! Only ever played it once and that was during 2011, knee-deep in the synchro era. Couldn't believe a guy could drop a Perfect Great moth 1st turn! Glad to see it can actually be beaten. Lol

[@Jon_Oh]

Thank you! Because of this video and the comments i've been talking to my wife in a borat accent for close to a month lol

[@Omega_12_Maxim]

Loved the bloodborne reference!

[@richardtaggart4750]

Honestly, I never thought shadi as a good guy as more so as a force of nature, with his greatest goal to watch over the millienum items and to make sure they Don't fall into unworthy hands. He probably kept an eye on yugi simply for the sake that he is the wielder of the puzzle and wanted to make sure that yugi was on the correct path to fix what is necessary and put the pieces to rest.

[@Jon_Oh]

Pretty much this lol I think its metal how each item needed 99 human sacrifices to be made

[@kanedavis8832]

My condolences for dealing with this run. I think a run with machines may help out.

[@mythicallymimic]

I second this

[@Jon_Oh]

Coming very soon i promise

[@Paul-eg8pt]

the video i've been waiting for

[@SquatchHammer]

I dont think ive stopped watching these for almost a week, why cant I stop?

[@Jon_Oh]

Not gonna help your cause when i drop my next one in 1.5 weeks

[@thehippiekuma8823]

This is a really cool idea for a challenge, thanks for the great YFM content!

[@Jon_Oh]

My pleasure!

[@OkMakuTree]

Jesus Christ, that was quite the roller coaster! I’m impressed how far you were able to take Shadi’s deck 😃

[@Jon_Oh]

You and me both!

[@Forever-yc3tp]

I don't know how often you read comments on stuff a few days after you post, but a terrible idea would be a clown monster deck. 3 Available in the starting deck and a 4th from duel master K while the hardest hitter period is 1500. And there's actually a decent amount of equips available early on pre-tournament.

[@Jon_Oh]

You are the 2nd person to request this surprisingly, i'll get on to subtypes/gimmicks after the main types are done. Also thoughts on having Souls Hunter in the clown list?

[@Forever-yc3tp]

@@Jon_Oh Well I suppose the game itself does call it a clown, seems fair game to me. Also best of luck on whatever your next main type run will be, I look forward to it.

[@theparticularist5373]

Shadi was actually a ghost all along? What is this, Ace Attorney?

[@rsp2264]

Dueling as Shadi, I did not see that coming. Even if I did all the research, would never come to that conclusion since all characters fuse in some way, shape and form. Great video Jon_Oh well worth the wait especially since I saw the gaia glitch in your shorts. I feel for you with the struggle, especially with the mages. Will go back to previous vids to figure out how you inadvertently spoiled this run. Still looking forward to spellcasters for the types run. As for a character run for forbidden memories I think that you should play as Jono next as you share his name, pronunciation wise. That begs the question, will you continue your quip, with Shadi being an absolute pushover of a duelist that if you lose to him you suck and that you should restart your run? You know since it is possible to beat this game as Shadi.

[@Jon_Oh]

+1 to spellcasters. Shadi run was spoiled in a prior vid having his name pop up while yugi was on the throne, teased in the Duel Master K video & i guess inferred from the glitch short

[@rsp2264]

@@Jon_Oh Thanks for the like and response, I really like all the runs you put out especially this one with shadi. I feel your pain when it came to fighting the mages though, for younger me it was just shoveling through with twin-headed thunder dragon and without equips, sad to say young me didn't even make it to the final 6 heck it would have been final 7 because I finished the mages before rescuing teana.

[@mattgeorgeson2468]

Hell yes I was looking forward to this

[@endeav0r_49]

Still waiting for the women run, but i guess it can take a backseat for the obvious 4/20 plant run

[@Jon_Oh]

Lol guess im a bit late to both, women run will be later when wifey isn't busy dealing with baby to voice it

[@nert4285]

Congrats on the baby.

[@Jon_Oh]

Thanks nert!

[@calebcounts7600]

I haven’t seen the swords of revealing light effect before. It’s cool that is stays on the field

[@Jon_Oh]

I almost had an entire run where it was dropped by every opponent who had one

[@BloodRedSandman613]

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I hope this comment gives a small boost and keeps your video in the algorithm where it belongs. First, amazing run. Wow, can't believe anyone pulled this off. Second, congratulations on being a father! Special thanks to Mrs. Jon_Oh for encouraging you to work on the videos, I know you mentioned that in the Master K video. Lastly, another congratulations on 20K subscribers! Every single one is well deserved and I look forward to watching you shatter more goals, pull off insane challenges, and enjoy more fulfilling moments with your family. Straight up, couldn't have happened to a better guy.

[@Jon_Oh]

Aww thank you blood red sandman! So much has happened this year i haven't trully taken a moment to let it all soak in! All i can say is that i'm going keep doing my best and hope the next video (dropping in 1-2weeks) keeps things fresh :)

[@redictor]

30:42 wait what? but i have 3 of those! how the hell... must've been cloned through the password by friend then or maybe it's something to do with the pal version of it?

[@Jon_Oh]

likely a friend unless you did a disk swap glitch on the US version of the game

[@redictor]

@@Jon_Oh i mean, we frequently used the 3 memorycard trick but still
