THE CHAZZ

[@darknesswave100]

One thing that wasn't mentioned that is a cool homage to the duel monsters series with the Ma'at card is that it has the Millennium items in the card art. It has every one of them in it. The Eye is on the forehead, the necklace is where you'd think it would be, the ring is on the chest, the puzzle is almost like a belt, the scales are in their left hand and then the rod and key are both part of the staff they're holding with the rod being on the top and the key on the bottom respectfully

The dark end dragon synchro monster was like my favourite/boss monster in my irl deck as a kid I still have it loved the design and it was one I never lost or let anyone steal

[@teamfmreborn7045]

There's also ways to make these dragons exceptionally OP Power of the guardians basically gives you unlimited usage of light end and dark end And reverse trap is great for light and darkness Dragon once its attack and defence is too low

[@AznYunHou]

I believe they ruled Reverse Trap does not work that way anymore since they need to actually lose attack to be able to negate.

[@roninwarriorsfan]

​@@AznYunHou Reverse Trap can still boost their power though

[@captainmunchlax4808]

Just a reminder though, you could only activate power of the guardians(for either of the light and darkness dragon)when they have 0 attack already so they don’t just negate the activation of power of the guardians😂😂

[@tarikkash4282]

[@cis22]

I like how Knight Armed Dragon is level 3 so it actually works with Armed Dragon Flash. So there's a little bit of connection between manga Chazz and anime Chazz. Though, I think combining Light and Darkness Dragon with Armed Dragon wouldn't work that well. Also, I don't like how Knight Armed Dragon and Dragon's Light and Darkness only boost the ATK of your dragon monsters. The idea behind them is that they restore the ATK of your monster to compensate for the cost of decreasing its ATK and DEF to use its effects. But since you can't restore DEF, you can't add more effect activations on your monster.

[@johnny2199]

14:09 If Yuma had this, it would be more broken. In anime, Shining Draw allows Yuma to draw any card, even from outside his deck.

[@archangel5526]

I love these Archetype series, please NEVER stop doing these!

[@SamSepiol1909]

The ending was rushed but the GX manga was incredible.

[@rpsyco]

I liked how Aster wasn't just a massive jobber like he was in the anime. He was just a straight up boss.

[@roninwarriorsfan]

so i learned about an interesting interaction between these cards & Reverse Trap. if you use the effect of Reverse Trap, then for that turn any & all atk & def increases & decreases (excluding multiplication & division) are altered. in laymans terms: the 3 dragons will gain power when they use their effects instead of losing power...for that turn, then next turn their scores will be calculated to how they normally should be

[@dely9999]

so basically if you fuse Dragonlord with SuperPoly during the turn you activated Reverse trap... you have an infinite omninegate

[@roninwarriorsfan]

​@@dely9999yeah, pretty much for that turn, when the turn ends though, Light & Darkness Dragonlord's power will fall to 0 (since you negated way more than 3 cards at that point)

[@lordofthered1257]

​@@roninwarriorsfanThat is sick.

[@babrad]

@@roninwarriorsfan Sorry to pop your bubble, but there has been an explicit ruling about LADD and Reverse Trap preventing this combo. During a turn were Reverse Trap is applying, LADD will activate only once and gain the stat boost (until the end phase where it becomes a decrease) then for the rest of that turn LADD cannot be activated again.

[@roninwarriorsfan]

@@babrad aw really, that sucks :(

[@jowatt2309]

I remember being so confused reading the manga after watching the anime. He used so many different cards and even the outcome of the duel was different. They also go more in to jaden's backstory if I remember correctly.

[@Billy_Wyatt]

Chazz is the man because his preference for dragons is pretty sick. Although that wasn't prominent in the anime.

[@emred4653]

Love how you can feel the age of the other cards due their effect

[@balistikscaarz1959]

Ive looked at Wish dragon for months and thought what is the purpose. Putting it in the context of Chazz i now understand they want you to tribute it, make 2 tokens, then use tactics to summon one from deck like a light or dark end.

[@thatnerdyouseeeverywhere7536]

Funny because the manga version of Dragonic Tactics is a Quick Play that can only be activated after you destroy a monster during the Battle Phase (good luck doing that with your 0 ATK Wish Token). Manga Wish Dragon literally only exists for Chazz to bring it out during his opponent’s turn using something like a Trap card (because he’s so lacking in ways to Special Summon it during his own turn), protecting it until his turn, and using the Tokens to tribute summon a big Dragon. I could go on an entire rant about how dumb the card design for GX manga cards is and how the TCG had to step in to rectify them.

[@JennyBlaze253]

Honestly the idea of a Fire End, Water End, Earth End, and Wind End would be pretty cool. I would say remove the plasma to gas and vice versa names to give some consistency. Even then, you'd have Water End Freezing, Fire End Melting, Wind End Condensation, and Earth End Deposition as names, and all four of those kick ass.

[@amateraceon5202]

Of course Manjoume Thunder would be the one to wield the Kingdom Hearts deck

[@HoennAngel]

2:31: And that's how Academia from ARC-V was born.

[@TheKpa11]

You know I’d imagine animating these dragons would have been much cheaper than with everything they did with the Ojamas in the anime. You’d think that would be the deciding factor, but they went the extra mile for those three little snots. I’m kinda impressed

[@SeniorTortuga-Maxy]

The manga was started after the anime did. It was actually the manga author's decision to make the story vastly different than the Anime.

[@TheKpa11]

@@SeniorTortuga-Maxy I see. Well that’s pretty cool in its own right…….mostly cause it was told fairly well

[@rpsyco]

The manga was made after the anime. If you read the little comics at the end about how Kageyama got roped into writing the manga (which are hilarious), he basically says Takahashi told him the manga has to have its own original story, and he can't use cards from the anime besides Winged Kuriboh. If you read the manga, but skipped those, please go back and read them. They're worth it.

[@CreaturesOfTheMarsh]

I just finished reading the GX manga yesterday, so this is super timely! I feel obliged to mention that Manga Ma’at had (some of?) the Millennium Items’ effects as well, and it wasn’t limited to three draws; it was one at a time. Whether or not the Puzzle willed Jaden’s draws is unclear, but it’s very clear that the Millennium Eye allowed Jaden to see his next cards and thus keep guessing and drawing them until he had all his pieces in place. Super neat to see a callback like that in the GX manga

[@Darkexxod]

3:08 dark end doesn't target tho

[@shinyknighttt]

I had no idea Chazz used all those random dragons in the manga. I own several of them and never knew their origins, very interesting.

[@Natsunalia]

[@barneypurple3435]

I would like to make a really weird deck to combine Manga Chazz and Anime Chazz deck where both Ojama and Light and Darkness have some wacky plays just need to figure it out how.

[@CelestialDeathscythe]

Also for people out there, note that you can chain cards to LADD effect negation and the chained card will not be affected by it. So for example bait it with mst then LADD will chain to it then u can chain karma cut. Mst will be negated but karma cut will go through. Pairing this card with splendid venus back in the day allows you to activate your cards freely since venus prevents your spells & traps from being negate. To get more uses out of LADD you can use forbidden chalice once its 4 negates are used up. My favorite trick is to equip them via dragunity arma leyvateinn or paladin of felgrand or guardian of felgrand effect to create a nice recurring meat shield body loop

[@luischamba1526]

Hey could Konami retrained Void ogre dragon from yugioh 5ds Manga. It should because it forgot other effect, it gain 500 ATK, when it negate on opponents traps and spell and destroy it.

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

I never liked the Light and Darkness Dragon. I personally hate card effects that have don't give you the option to activate their effects or not, and I especially hate cards that permanently lower the monster's stats in order to use their effects.

[@michaelkarimian7538]

Agreed! IMO The Light and Darkness Dragon archetype is a mixed bag. The reason is because of its double edged sword effect. Zane Truesdale even used the effect of Light and Darkness Dragon against it in his duel against Chazz. If it could return all of its stats back to normal after the end phase, it would be amazing, although that might make it too OP.

Duality has been one of my staples in my dragon decks it's such a good card... you can special summon from the extra deck either fusion or synchro monster by tributing a monster with the same type and star lvl but the opposite of their element but only works for light and dark monsters and after the usage you can shuffle a light and dark monster back into the deck and draw a card.

Small but neat detail I just noticed These dragons and their effects give me vibes of the idea of "equivalent exchange" which is where you give something to recieve something Which I always associate with Alchemy cause of Fullmetal Alchemist And much like the Elric Brothers learning to make a life you need to give your own Yugioh players learn to use a strong monster like Light and Darkness Dragon you have to have the effect be mandatory Again its neat especially cause GX did tap into Alchemy and all that How these dragons did that idea better then the actual alchemy deck in the show is anyones guess

[@filipvadas7602]

I'm honestly really split on Anime and Manga Chazz. One one hand, the former is histerical and his character developement is great with him falling from grace, then proving himself a good duelist by rising back to the top with just a deck filled with otherwise discarded cards. And him having to still earn back his status once he got back i to the academy, plus having to deal being Jaden's neighbour was pretty entertaining. But I really didn't like how in later seasons Chazz became unimportant compared to Jaiden, like almost every other character in GX tbf. Manga Chazz however is treated MUCH more seriously, a proper rival character. He is just as stoic as Zane and isn't just some rich kid who got into Obelisk Blue because he had all the rarest/most expensive cards, in fact he actively *resents* it because it flares up rumors of that being the ONLY reason he's so high up in the Academy. It got so bad that despite him actually being considered a runner up to Zane himself in terms of skill, he didn't enjoy the game anymore; the joy he once felt had rotted away. The main problem I have with manga Chazz is that his character is relatively static. Hell, just when it seems that we're about to get the payoff for said arc and Chazz reigniting his love for the game by dueling Jaden a 3rd time, the manga ends lol

[@D-Havoc]

Becoming a comedic relief character and the butt of jokes nonstop is far worse than a character who doesn't have a drastic shift but is generally good if not great already.

[@juancarlosparejaosorio5342]

I've been thinking that yugioh should add the chaos attribute for monsters like this that are obviously a mix of light and darkness not to mention the ones that directly have the word "chaos" in the name and the C xyz; Also since Konami firmly refuses to give the divine attribute to monsters other than the Egyptian gods, they could replace it with this attribute. Since I mentioned the Egyptian gods, I have been thinking for a long time that they should give the divine beast type to more monsters, but only to those of Level/Rank 10,11 and 12 (and Link rating 6) as for the creator god type it would be for monsters of Level/Rank 13 and 0

[@ryuuronin9852]
