IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING?!

Konami brought me and ‪@SeeReax‬ to Japan for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters The Legend of Duelist QUARTER CENTURY event! This animation was revealed there along with many other amazing things!

[@taphy4873]

I like how zues doesn’t even have any lore, he just *detached two material*

[@rhymestyle]

LMFAO that’s what deion said. Bro pulled up and cleared the board

[@youtubeenjoyer7279]

maybe they will change and rectify it so that zeus, drytron, ursartic and kozmo have combined lore.

[@Gamer_Lizard_68]

Love the transition from “Aww melffy so cute” to “ROBOT GOD FIGHTING ROBOT SATAN” with absolutely no transition.

[@Billy_Wyatt]

Zeus was fighting Starslayer Ty Phon in the animation so there's something to be explored there. The rivalry between those two.

[@jmctrd]

Ain’t no way they’re actually making an anime about the lore, I’m going to scream

[@gamester512]

I really want to see Albaz's lore made into an anime, as I personally consider him my "Ace" monster, as I use him in a lot of the decks I most enjoy using in Master Duel, my favorite being my Blue-Eyes/Albaz hybrid deck.

[@dave_the_slick8584]

I can think of two that would require their own anime due to how much goes down in them.

I'm reminded of the days when Joey told Rex Raptor the story of Gearfried during their second duel together, in the Orichalcos arc. Man, I WISH this made me feel half as unexpectedly hyped as that moment... Then again, I also wish this had more concrete info of "Where and what time can I watch this?"

[@LittleAl016]

​@@smartboy201 I was even using that moment to explain to my dad about this. Given the card game lore is different from the anime universe (or is it multiverse?) lore.

[@smartboy201]

@@LittleAl016It's this weird situation where you have individual card-lore, different from anime-card-lore, different from set-lore/anime-set lore, different from _deck-set-lore/anime-deck-set-lore..._ And that's not even taking into account stuff like the actual _STORIES_ like "Goblin of Greed" has, where you learn everything in the span of 30 or so cards about this _one goblin._ And now, if this IS AN ANIME, we'll have "card-anime-card-lore" in the rotation. As in, Anime of the YuGiOh franchise (made of cards), specifically about those individual cards, rather than the characters that play them... It's some real Super-Saiyan-God-Super-Saiyan vibes, I'm getting from this!

Imagine the Adventurers taking on Eldlich, or Visas piloting ZEUS. Hell, we know Albaz's world has dimensional portals, and we have the whole D.D. archetype that could potentially link all the worlds together into one giant pot. It'd be like a Duel Monsters Cinematic Universe lol.

yeah, i mean, they did a sky striker manga series, the next one should be fallen of albaz, or in case that archetype don't manage to have a manga, at least they make an anime with those card's lore

[@patrickdoss25]

Konami has always been sitting on a gold mine if they made TV series/movies based off the card lore. I’m keeping my hype in check until I get an actual trailer. Was this really a teaser of what’s to come? Test footage by Konami for audience reaction/reception? My heart wants to believe that this is the direction Konami wants to go in because you can’t just show animation of all of favorite card archetypes and not deliver.

Ever since I first saw _“with the eyes of Blue”_ monsters in Duel Links while playing as DSOD Kaiba I was always curious wondering what it would be like to explore the Blue Eyes world. All the other monsters are interesting as well. Now it all makes sense why Konami has invested so much time in polishing Duel Links and also creating Master Duel's Solo Mode. It's all connected in a way, most likely with the upcoming VR project they are working on (which I hope people don't end up severely addicted to it, that doesn't sound healthy for society).
