Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Card Backstories (Vol. 2)

It’s storytime again with Yu-Gi-Oh cards! With the reception of my previous video, I decided to visit this topic once more. However, instead of choosing monsters that were simply my favorites when looking into backstories, I’m using viewer suggestions to make each entry in this list, so think of this as the Top Ten backstories that I “forgot” to cover.

Konami has finally given official word on the transition from Lightsworn to Twilightsworn. Twilightsworn are the Lightsworn cards, but for when they need to specifically destroy evil, rather than protect good.

[@nick0197]

I also like the name Twilight, meaning that they are still bound to the light, but using dark elements.

[@TMXFroZeN]

The most epic shit is when two seperate backstories that you thought had nothing to do with each other suddenly collide in one single card artwork. It’s mind blowing and makes you rethink over a ton of things. Truely epic.

[@slevinchannel7589]

I’m sure Konami doesn’t even think of a Female Character, or a Character that isn’t Hetero, but you know what else we sadly Never get?! A Non-Human Protagonist would actually be possible! I wish someone would Create a Completly New Kind of Yugioh Anime: About the Multiverse that seems to be the Realm of Shadows, or i don’t know what. My point is, that the over 10000 Cards that Exist tell Entire Stories and show Entire Species and/or Contain Entire World-Buildings! I refrain from Listing Things, just think something up yourself, there are Hundreds - mostly it’s the Arche-Types! I actually wish even Effect-Monsters had these Card Texts that Normal Monsters Have - surely not on the Card (not enough Space there) but on an Official Internet Site! I want to know more about so many Monsters, and from what i can just see about some Arche-Types, i really want to see their Story Animated!! I really want to know if anyone agrees to this, and also if I’m the First to have this Idea of a Non-Human Protagonist (maybe Performapal?) who travels an Extremly Diverse Multiverse. I would love to see an Anime basically about the Backstorys of Monsters.

[@MrCJBubba]

King of the skull servant's family is probably my favorite group of monsters and I am glad that he was able to give marron a loving home... even if he gets humiliated. I love the idea that out of almost every king in the lore he seems to be the strongest and the most benevolent. Due to the fact that he is obviously a family man and has the complete loyalty of his subjects also he literally gets power from the love for his family and a sizeable chunk of power at that. I kinda want to see a skull marron retrain that renames him to "Wight Dog Marron" giving him the usual skull servant effect of being treated as one in the grave with the ability to special summon a wightprincess from the hand or deck which would synergize well with the archetype and further the Marron lore

[@trueblueryu5713]

I always thought Zera the Mant was just the corrupted soul of Tri Horned Dragon. -They were released around the same time -appear to be striking roughly the same pose -they have the same color -although the card art is vague, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say they’re close in size - same level -basically the same stats -Tri Horner Dragon is considered an “unworthy” dragon, so maybe it sold its soul to become a fiend. Could be that Warrior of Zera and THD combined their souls to become Zera the Mant, or maybe the dragon was just a husk for the Mant to inhabit, but it’s something I always considered.

[@Hung_Nguyen_90]

Ah Tri Horned Dragon. The perfect dragon I used when I didn't got Blue eye yet in Yugioh Power of Chaos. But I don't think they related. The pose look diffirent enough.

[@Slayerthecrow]

Yugioh always had Pokemon level potential for spin off games, remember pokemon mystery dungeon or pokemon conquest. Yeah, I think they could make several kind of games under the licence of yugioh, like JRPG, fighting games or even race games (after all, they released an archetype based on cars)

[@Next-xm2dh]

[@keeperofthetriforce7]

[@darkdeitybrandon3127]

I'm surprised they hadn't try that yet, might be because the original Yugioh game spinoffs didn't sell that well. Dual links does count as a spin off tho, and that did just reach over 65 million downloads very recently.

[@TheKpa11]

I do agree probably because Yugioh does take from just about everything Including RPG characters themselves

[@YGOrochi]

Yes, Buster Blader DOES have to kill his own dragon, as the Whelp grew and fought more and more in battle it became more of a game to the little dragon who then began to enjoy the hunt and slaughter (thus allowing the darkness in his heart to prosper) eventually the little Whelp grew too dark and began attacking ANYTHING it wanted without reason which is why, unfortunately Buster Blader had to destroy him (seen in the Destruction Sword Fusion artwork) and through his grief and absorbing the soul of his pet dragon, becomes Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman. I love that lore so damn much.

what a shame. they could even feature things similar to that filler arc in yugioh when the characters first went into the digital world (not that one) against the five headed dragon. also they could feature monsters who are "normal citizens" seeing how the clans of the dark and blue eye magicians fight, the HEROES saving people, or other things

[@timoyr2954]

Ian R. Nava Huber GX actually has quite a lot of that. The "worlds" they visit include Gravekeepers and Dark Worlds. They duel and interract with the monsters there. There's also a duel against Jinzo and probably a lot I've forgotten. A series just one the lore would be cool though. I remember how pumped I was when Joey told the backstory of Gearfreed in DM.

I'd like to think that Warrior of Zera sat on the chair to over see the ritual that would bring forth Zera the Mant. From there he slain the beast turning his head into a sword somehow. Then seeks out Sanctuary in the Sky slaying demons along the way becoming an Archlord. Then "God" sent him onto a mission to Pandemonium where he was corrupted eventually into his Darklord version returning to Sanctuary in the Sky destroying it.

[@YugiohMaster1987]

Rom Kin Warrior of Zera had 1 of 3 paths to choose from. Either follow the path of the Archlords, or allow the fiends that torment him to finally consume him, or preform a forbidden ritual. His sword his a possessed sword, btw. *Choosing the path of the fiends path with Pandemonium he becomes Mezra (zera spelling is introverted) Da Ville (Devil). *Choosing the ritual, he sacrifices allies from along the way to fulfill the ritual and becomes one with the spirit forged in his weapon (mirror image of the Lych King from Warcraft) *Follows the path of the Archlords and is turned into Zeradias, once saving The Sanctuary in the Sky he is promoted to "Archlord" Zerato, Along with Archlord Krystia as being the 2 highest ranking angels if the sanctuary and heaven. Darklord Zerato, is the Archlords fallen angrl form. As you see the sanctuary in the sky destroyed and in ruins in the background. His reasons for "falling" are unknown, but still holds his "Lord" title, fairy/angel type and is reasonably more powerful.

Shien was considered a fire demon as he did not age which explains why tenkabito shien is a Pyro type and Fire attribute

[@MrMarinus18]

Oda Nobunaga was trapped in a castle though and died. It was one of his generals Hidoyoshi toyotomi who would carry on his legacy and eventually unify Japan. When he died his heir was still only 4 years old and so the adult Togokawa Hideyasu who had served alongside Hidoyoshi under Oda took the throne for himself. Unlike Hidoyoshi though when Togokawa abdicated the throne after securing it and gave it to his son. He died 10 years after abdicating and since his son had been ruling for a decade his rule was not contested. The Togokawa dynasty would rule Japan for the next 300 years until Japan was rocked to the core by the Americans forcing them to open up to the outside world.

I don’t know if you’re going to do a third video, but the story of El Shaddoll Winda is my favorite. In the Naturia world, Winda got her start as a priestess of the Gusto, peaceful monsters that were partners of the Ritual Beast tamers. After the death of Sophia, Goddess of Creation, and the subsequent defeat of the Evilswarm invasion, something sinister began to emerge from the shadows in the Naturia. Monsters of all kinds began disappearing, including Pulao, a Yang Zing dragon Winda was attempting to tame. After a battle with his shadow double, Pulao was corrupted and turned into a Shaddoll Squamata. Winda, unaware of his transformation, sought him out, but was captured by the Shaddolls and brought to El Shaddoll Construct, the source of this terrible power. As the first non-animal being captured by the Shaddolls, Construct bathed Winda with her powers, turning her into a puppet and making her essentially into a herald. She was reunited with Pulao and set off to find other suitable beings for Construct to turn into puppets. Now as the second most powerful Shaddoll, Winda made contact with a veteran of the Evilswarm war, Cairngorgon, the Antiluminescent Knight. After his corruption from the Gem Knights fusing over and over, Winda easily brought him back to Construct, who then corrupted him further into El Shaddoll Grysta. However, Winda wound up making a terrible mistake as she then sought out Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree. In her fight with Leo, she unwittingly damaged the Naturia Sacred Tree and woke the Qliphorts. With them waking, she failed to capture Leo and fled back to Construct, where she became a big part of the war against the Qli. At some point, Grysta was slain and the Qli acquired the Gem Knight powers, which allowed them to summon the Infernoids to purge the Shaddoll infestation (the Qliphorts were losing pretty bad). One Infernoid, Decatron, captured Winda as he fought his way to Construct, where she was placed in a glowing tube on his body. After the climactic battle, Decatron’s head broke off and escaped as his body was assimilated into Construct, where he returned to the Sacred Tree. Broken and dying, what remained of Decatron stayed out of the Zefra war with his master, Tierra, and finally crashed and died at the base of the Sacred Tree. The Zefra came to Decatron’s head to search for survivors, and were surprised to find that within the tube atop his head, Winda, purged of the Shaddoll corruption, was in there. Now back to normal, Winda set herself to becoming a Spiritual Beast Tamer, but her art on that card hints that perhaps she isn’t fully back, as she wears similar clothes to her El Shaddoll counterpart and seems to be a little less sure of herself. I know it’s long, but Winda was a key figure in the Duel Terminal and has my favorite story in the whole game (second to Decatron or Qliphort Genius). Thank you for the awesome video!

the story in the Hidden Arsenal / Duel Terminal series is my personal favorite. Shame it didn't appear in either video. There are basically 3 world wars and some matrix shenanigans at play there.

Maybe....so far each Set had exactly 1 "World Legacy"-monster with an appropriate archetype. Chalice and its heroes Armor and the Krawlers Shield and the Mekk-Knights Spear and the Troymares (even though the Troymares are just corrupted Mekk-Knights) What the future will bring is pretty uncertain, as only 2 support cards for older archetypes (1 for Mekk-Knights and 1 for Krawlers) for the theme are revealed so far for Cybernetic Horizon.

[@vidmanandrew09]

Haven't heard of the Troymares. World Legacy Bubble Shield... the mages seen in the top corner of that card; are those the Troymares? It seems like to me that if these Troymares are corrupted Mekk-Knights, then the other three archetypes are gonna team up to fight them, if one of the Krawler trap cards is any indication. That's gonna be one hell of a deck to build if one is trying to go for a "World Legacy" deck, combining all of these interlacing archetypes...

[@ethanredding9977]

The Troymares (or at least their creator) are stopped in the "Flames of Destruction"-arc. The creator is btw "Destroymare Iblee" (Ib posessed by the evil fairy Lee)

Heyyy, it’s me again. Super-fun video again, and I love that you’re clearly using the Master Guides as references uwu. I’ll just be listing some info here as a supplement to some things you mention: • Things you mention that we’re not entirely sure of (but which are valid theories): Risebell’s book causing monsters to emerge, Dark World causing the Lightsworn to become Twilightsworn, and Akashic Magician’s rivalry with Alchemic (rather than just Alchemic’s pleading) being the thing to spark Slacker’s passions again. • The Lightsworn are heroes from all across time, whose spirits have been collected by Michael to fight for justice. Ryko is Jain’s pet dog, and his role in their ranks is as a member of the Advance Guard, “the ones who sally forth into the real world. Their main mission is understanding the nature of the enemy, but each is a highly trained warrior, so oftentimes only they are needed to deal with the situation.” (Master Guide 3) • Goldd is one of the two army leaders in Dark World. (Master Guide 2) “Wǔ" is the pinyin transcription of the Han character "武" as in "武神" or “war god". (Yugipedia) • Zera the Mant’s Japanese name makes clear that it’s the actual Zera - its name is literally just that: “Zera”. This ofc seems to imply that Warrior of Zera is beholden to the Mant, as its warrior, and that’s probably why he’s got it as his sword / got a sword that looks like it. • Most card artworks that feature the Goblin Attack Force and the Ojamas are meant less as concrete, traceable storyline elements, and more as just jokes like you mention. Both groups just kinda wander around the world, doing dumb shit and getting owned. It was probably a good idea not to tackle World Legacy lore just yet, as it’s still ongoing, and as you say it’s very detailed. It’s the third-biggest storyline in yugioh, and it’ll probably become the second-biggest soon. Really happy to see more from you about yugioh card lore! 🙆🏻

[@k0ngbuster]

The fye reference is god-tier.

[@MrTopTenList]

Glad someone caught that!

[@k0ngbuster]

@@MrTopTenList I used to go to one, maybe some of them still exist. Also, I recently found this channel and I really like it, I subscribed, amigo.

[@neighborhood_sama4965]

What about the Monarchs??? Looking through their artwork, you can see a really badass story of them conquering some other dimensions and archetypes

[@chrismercedes4]

OOOhhh I didn't know the Buster Blader story... I really liked it, I might play his deck now

[@DigitalAshTCG]

This is a great video!

[@loganfrandrup6590]

Out of all of them in this video?...It a pears that I am going to have to get the Buster Blader cards. His friend will always be with him.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

i wish Buster blader got some XYZ, Pendulum or Link support. Buster blader has good synergy with dragoncaller magician (who looks similar to dark magician)

[@loganfrandrup6590]

Googled it, Jager, the First Buster Blader(XYZ)

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

sad news: Jäger is a fanmade card. WHICH SUCKS because it has a nice searcher effect

[@loganfrandrup6590]

Really, dam it.

[@doki-doki_danman3567]

What about Endymion and his Citadel?

[@Bumbastar]

I love watching these! Thanks for the shoutout. Keep up the awesome content! Now part of the #notificationsquad boys!

[@Kocktail1]

this was pretty enjoyable

[@ExSpectre]

I think the Darklord Zerato is the ending of the Archlord line, given the Japanese name “Fallen Angel Zerato”

[@heathledgersjoker6262]

Do a series of Yugioh card backstories

[@johanstenfelt1206]

How very interesting, these are just getting more interesting.

[@danielsnyder9200]

I always like seeing how a story can be weaved together through these cards. So far, the most extensive storyline that I have seen is the recent WolrdLegacy Archetype, mainly because it spans multiple Archetypes instead of typically one. I didn't really think about it too much until the other day when I was looking through my collection and read ChosenByTheWorldChalice's card text. When it mentions the "Seven World Legacies" the lightbulb went off and I realized that all 7Legacy Cards have been made; what other Links, cards and/or stories can be made from them I know not, but I look forward to hearing it if/when you can piece it all together. I'm just surprised that so many sub-archetypes are connected to this one (WorldChalice, Krawler, Mekk-night, Knightmare, GuardDragon, Crusadia, even the Orcust; I'm not even sure I've named them all!)

[@skybattler2624]

HA! Where is duel terminal story arc which includes Worms, Draguinity, Gem-knights, Flamevells, Naturia, Genex, Ally of Justice, and many more archetypes that are more epic than those stories you stated? Also... That story is so epic that it included 3 physical generations, 3 world wars, 2 lulls, and summoned 2 Deities to join the mix

The six samurais where my favorite of this thanks for doing the samurais back story I was confused a bit by how they kept changing

[@ThePeblo]

“Goblin Calligrapher, He writes ‘False’ on Fake Trap” Emmy award winning backstory

[@Evnyofdeath]

World Legacy's storyline is basically Bravely Default

[@chucktuck93]

I thought Zera was the name of the sword. The monster is the warrior. That's why Zera the Mant is after Zera the sword finally takes over tributing the warrior.

[@alexace2647]

I was hoping we'd get the story of the charmers, but learning the six sam lore was pretty cool too.

[@kaibaCorpHQ]

Omg, I literally never realized these cards illustrations told a story, that's really cool to realize that with solemn judgement.

[@VinxPlanilla]

How about that knight from the "Raregold armor"? I've seen him in a lot of cards. And I'm guessing a parallel with Dark Blade

[@Fredcat11]

As following: Kishido Spirit, White Dragon Ritual, Paladin of White Dragon, and Paladin of Cursed Dragon?

[@VtuberGodai]

you should do one for darklords, hidden arsenal, nekroz and kozmo

[@TheEel228]

I LOVE THIS!

[@guillermocalle2184]

Heh, Condemned maiden finally got the last laugh with Witch's Strike and Condemned Darklord.

[@MrTopTenList]

In my third backstory video, I made a note in the honorable mentions segment about Condemned Darklord adding to the story, so when I get around to making a fourth backstory video, I've got to give Witch's Strike a shoutout since it's a cool card and an ever-changing backstory.

[@eldartaghiyev8422]

Kagemusha is one of the new core six samural.

[@Darkkefka]

wow. I had no idea these cards had back stories. Also, slacker magician is hot..

[@Antares796]

This video is awesome!!! Make one more pleeease

[@MrTopTenList]

Perhaps! There are definitely enough comments to support making a third edition. I'll still make some other Yugioh-themed videos in the future that cover the series story and artwork, so there will be more Yugioh content!

[@ChueKhang001]

Now you have more things for world legacy cards. Looking forward to seeing the world leagacy plus others.

[@GamingVest]

Your lore about the Six Samurai is actually wrong, doesn’t cover all the lore or the dark story about Shien’s Corruption

[@superlol178]

Hey, MrTopTenList are going to do a list for wanted characters for Smash Bros Switch?

[@MrTopTenList]

Yes, but I'm waiting for more information on if it's a port or a new game since that might change how I choose for the list.

[@itsjustme-_-9621]

The storys behind the cards are really good

[@Cody-tk9nw]

Okay the Marron happy ending was really nice haha
