The reason why Rex Raptor used dragons even though most of his deck is dinosaurs is because sometimes in East Asia dinosaur bones are called “dragon bones”

[@HoveringAboveMyself]

When the word dinosaur entered the japanese and chinese languages they translated it as 恐竜 (Kyoryu in jp) or fearful dragon. That is way dinosaurs and dragons are so intercheangeable in their pop culture, they got dragon in their name, if Sir Richard Owen had decided to call them Dinodracon instead I'm sure we will be making the same mistake all the time.

@@Adoochi i mean, thats arguably false.. its not pure white.. but the blueish hue CLEARLY is more white then its blue and is more a "shine" from scales and light reflecting on it then actualy blue scales- but back to the original topic... the translators likely didnt actualy get to see the card themself and just got told ot translate the name out of context

[@weberman173]

ALSO no, they arent "unusable nowadays" The actual text on a card matters not for how it actualy acts. It is the offical "current Text" that matters, not what is actualy printed on any given card. And nowadays its even more so irellevant how the(non english) translators fuck up, as they fairly recently iirc, actualy finaly officaly made it a "rule" that the english version will be considerd offical in terms of potential rulling inconsistencys do to wordings. SOOOO even if the early versions say "red eys blue dragon"(which they do, and i love it) they aer still mechanicaly treated as red eyes Black dragon, as the only thing that matters is the Card code to identify(not the set number) which card it is and thus what mechanicaly it represents

[@MidoriNatsume]

@@weberman173 Back then translators didn't have the best job. When Pokémon Red/Blue were translated in Italian, the TWO PEOPLE on the job had a giant list of key words to translate... Without context. So we had the move Pound translated to the currency, and Counter to a the literal electronic instrument to measure voltage. Also, they were hired to translate from the German version to Italian, but they received the English version. And they were lucky that they actually knew English because the import company never sent them the intended version.

Also they can make Red-Eyes Parasite Paracide which can special summon itself from your hand if you control a Red-Eyes monster and turns all monsters into Red-Eyes monsters. Allowing any monster with 500 Attack to be used with Red-Eyes Graceful Cherub which multipies the Attack of a Red-Eyes monster with 500 Attack. Also Red-Eyes Skull Imp & Graceful Cherub are Level 3 tuners so Red-Eyes can ACTUALLY make their level 7 Synchro.

21:53 I think Red-Eyes Slash Dragon is meant to be a reference to Red-Eyes being equipped with Metalmorph (given its similar stats to Metal Dragon), and also in that episode he used it against Rex, he turned Red-Eyes Black Dragon into a sword which he equipped to Gearfried, a Warrior. Might be a bit of a stretch, but that's what I'm going with.

[@KyanbuXM]

leafbladie Yeah that's most likely what they were going for. Given everything else in the set was also based on how those decks were used in the anime/manga. Slash just being the most vague since Joey did that once and the duel isn't all that memorable.

[@SophiaLilithUwU]

Or maybe the most obvious is actually the case. Red-Eyes Slash Dragon is the fusion of Red-Eyes B. Dragon and the only warrior type monster in the archetype, Red-Eyes Gearfried? You know, considering that Slash dragon seems to use Gearfried's armour?

[@QuantemDeconstructor]

Lorewise it could be that red eyes got merged with Gearfried's armor when he unbound himself

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

@@SophiaLilithUwUY'all are wrong. It is a fusion of Red Eyes and a card Joey used, though! That card was Sword Hunter. That's why it gains 200 attack by equipping a Warrior.

[@SophiaLilithUwU]

@@TheShinyFeraligatri can see how the effect may be derived from sword hunter, but slash dragon is still a dragon equipped with red-eyes gearfrieds armor. As a matter of fact it lacks sword hunter's characteristic swords.

[@maxpower9247]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Red-Eyes. The deck is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the plays will go over a typical duelist's head. There's also Joey's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Brooklyn literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these tactics, to realize that they're not just geminis- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Red-Eyes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the strategy in Joey's existencial catchphrase "My sister is blind", which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Joey Wheeler's genius unfolds itself on their YGOPro screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Red-Eyes tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 win points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Red-Eyes has always been one of my favorite archetypes. While they may not be the most competatively viable, they're a lot of fun to play, and I love their visual aesthetic even more than Blue-Eyes'. I remember back in Summer of 2015, when I used YGOPro for the first time, I built my own 43 card Red-Eyes deck and it was pretty awesome, especially with the new support at the time.

[@theogsad-sempai8598]

Red eyes that one archetype with badass artwork, the power of nostalgia and overall who doesn't like edgy dragon's?. Why can't this archetype be at least rouge tier?, there's always has to be that one archetype you REALLY want to take to tournaments/locals but you know you'll most likely get stomped (perhaps even laughed at ) for even using it and Red eyes is that one archetype for me and many other YGO fans :'(.

[@gigafuq8751]

it would of been at least so much better if black stone was a tune and also had a twin burst type fusion like how blue eyes has both

I mean theres a rougue ftk deck using the fusion, i like it a lot actually and it is one of the more consistent ftk's too but its pretty degenerate and relies on your opponent not having any hand traps lmao

[@benlucas3151]

I think the idea behind black stone not being a tuner is that with flare metal it means red-eyes make the black cards (xyz), and blue-eyes make the white cards (synchros).
