Season 3 during the Clash of the Worthless Gods arc, specifically episode 83. It's not really explicit at first, but by episode 102, they have become at least mutually accepting their hate toward one another. Seemed likely to be an OTP tbh.

[@lvl5Vaporeon]

I owe these guys so much honestly. When I started playing yugioh, I was too broke to afford anything worthwhile and was mocked for it. People gave me so much shit for using these guys because they were not meta. I slowly built a deck from scratch; pulling some cards and made my first meta deck from the scraps of people: Batteryman Artifacts. I loved the deck and built it with my heart. The little guys who had come from nothing helped me win my locals against the tellas, burning abyss and shadolls. My torn call of the haunteds, my worn batteryman Fuel cells, and bent artifact cards I bought because I couldn't afford nicer ones came together into a truly strong force. Still have the deck on my desk. Even with the artifact engine spiking a bit in price, I refuse to give them up.

[@thecreatorofthedark]

[@lvl5Vaporeon]

Konami: "Rata gave us a great idea with his BES Field Spell brainchild - let's see what else he's got!" *6 months later* Konami: "Announcing support for a great, underrepresented archetype! It gives you a new and interesting way to play a formerly simple deck! BEHOLD! Satellarknight Pollen!"

[@GLitchesHaxandBadAudio]

The new support for Battery Men will probably read "If you control 3 Battery Men monsters with different names, Banish all cards in your opponent's hand, deck, field, graveyard, and extra deck, Inflict 100000 damage to your opponent, also, you win the duel. You can only activate this card once per turn." Something ridiculous like that.

Why not do an Archetype Archive on Superheavy Samurai's? They're an interesting archetype given that they can attack in defense position, also, it would be nice to review an Arc-V archetype because YOU STILL TAKE THE DAMAGE.

Also, their equip cards are monster cards. Take a look at Soul Arbitrator.

Link Summoning didn't kill Pendulums . . . but the loss of the Pendulum Zones, and the ability to actually be Yuya, hurt everyone's soul.

[@thaddeusgenhelm8979]

Though who it REALLY killed was Crystal Beasts. Sorry guys, your two support cards that you never got to use in the TCG now completely destroy your ability to do anything. You're welcome. Also it probably killed the hell out of Igknights and Dracos. Especially Igknights. Can't constantly be sac'ing 3+ of your monsters if getting them back is suddenly like pulling teeth.

[@Lunanemm]

Hey thanks for showing off my Brilliant Batteryman build. Feel free to ask me questions about the build if you have them!

[@dgd3071]

Lunanite What's that left next to bottomless ?

[@Lunanemm]

Floodgate Trap Hole. The ideal T1 field involves opening Brilliant Fusion + 9-Volt, BriFu send Trick Clown and summon it back, NS 9-Volt and search Charger, tribute 9-Volt for Charger, summon another 9-Volt, overlay into Durendal and Rafflesia, hopefully set a D-Barrier/Strike. Instant Fusion can get Norden for more R4, or Theseus for Tzolkin with Seraphinite or Charger.

[@dgd3071]

Lunanite No left not right

[@Lunanemm]

Oh my bad. Mischief of the Gnomes. Makes all monsters levels in hand because -1 for the turn, same effect by banishing from grave. You use it to make Charger a L4 to summon without Tribute, and to disrupt your opponent's monster's levels. It also turns Fuel Cell in hand into a L5, so you can actually make Pleiades.

[@dgd3071]

Lunanite Pretty nice Smart little built you got there

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I still remember what a joke Batteryman was back when I played Yugioh. Now that I'm back into it, it's honestly wholesome to find out they came together.

[@Shimpter]

Thank you so much for making this video!!!! Batteryman is my all-time favorite archetype and I've ran it for years (I have this cycle where every few years ill get back into the game, get completely obliterated by the meta, and then proceed to try my best to augment/update the deck to the best of my ability so that it can manage to hold its own...... and then I inevitably drop it after a couple of months due to not having anybody to play with/getting too salty about the meta and how much i suck at children's card games) I actually just so happen to have picked up the game again earlier this week for the first time in like 5 years, only to find that i was getting my ass handed to me. Batteryman is not a super popular archetype, and most of the "batteryman" decks i see people run these days have deviated so far from batterymen that it's barely recognizable. It used to be such that my deck could hold its own against my friend's fucking broken-ass hero gate deck (you know, when THAT was big), but with my outdated staples and lack of an extra deck, I'm pretty fucked nowadays. Luckily this video was able to steer me in the right direction and showed me the glory of 9-Volt (already ordered 3). Anyway, this video was helpful, entertaining, and it was a little bit of representation for a really obscure archetype that I love, but never see anything on, so it really means a lot. .....but I'm still not taking out my AA's and inferno reckless summons fuck you

[@chifueenowak2875]

How about covering Dragunity next? Never a top tier deck, but quite a lot of plays availible for its time, with a somewhat original gimmick (back then). Moreover, a good example for how a field spell can make an archetype work (which is also an example of a support card being too broad, getting itself limited due to other decks and making the mother archetype unplayable).

I absolutely loved Batteryman. A low cost (the Boss monster was only a Rare iirc) but really fun deck with multiple OTK options that actually felt like it had so much potential to be built into a tournament deck. I really need to rummage around in my YGO cards box and see how far I actually had come in building.

I honestly always found this video particularly... _quaint?_ Like - even around the time of this video's release, many of the mentioned upsides in ATK or during the Battle Phase just didn't really _matter_ anymore in the face of all the Special Summon and negation spam... but I guess it speaks to a sort of "innocent" enthusiasm for this kind of deck, which I totally get. Makes this video quite charming in a sort of odd way.
