I took History of Latin America this year in university and it is startling just how much of 5Ds tracks back to different mythologies, even the names of the immortals were chosen from Indigenous languages. I don't know how much was KT specifically but you can tell that he had a major influence on it. As one example: the Crimson Dragon was named as Quetzalcoatl during Jack's mini-arc where he got Red Nova Dragon, but did you know that the King of the Netherworld actually tracks pretty closely with some of the myths (because all mythologies are messy) of Tezcatlipoca, "god of the invisible and darkness, lord of the Night" (Wikipedia), and who was commonly depicted in opposition to Quetzalcoatl. Tezcatlipoca, who was associated with human sacrifice 🤔 I had to be talked out of doing my essay on this for the final assignment.

[@Pikashockdragon]

Fun Fact: Jack's Red Nova Dragon is based off of the 8th Earthbound Immortal Red Nova/Scar-Red Nova, who used the Serpent Nazca line, which at the time of 5d's airing, was undiscovered.

That final part is literally misinformation. There is no evidence of such an idea ever created. The concept art was an old troll post someone fabricated. The director of 5Ds even admitted he has no idea where that even came from (Note: Katsumi Ono has a huge liking to Crow). The actual thing about crow is he was just going to be friend character that would occasionally make appearances.

I used to run an earthbound immortal deck with the bird. Used hardened armed dragon for one of the tributes which made it immune to destruction effects including its own, so even if they popped the field card it would stick around. It was fun, since you couldnt be attackes unless the opponent had a monster that could attack directly and back then nom destruction removal wasnt as widespread or popluar.

Correction: Sergey didn't work for the Fusion Dimension but rather he worked for a man named Roger who IS from the Fusion Dimension serving as the Chief of Sector Security in the Synchro Dimension in Arc-V. As Roger's muscle he gave Sergey the Earthbound deck along with the Harmonic Synchro Fusion spell card. Fun fact Sergey's previous Thorn archetype deck also had synchros and fusions too. The Earthbound Prisoners and Servants also have a theme of being in shackles and restraints which ties to another fun fact about Sergey where he is a slave who answers to Roger with no question and he enjoys being in pain. Most of the time Roger is in full control until he gets triggered by the words and feelings of certain duelists. In both of his actual on-screen duels Yuzu not wishing to harm Sergey made him go insane and going against orders to beat and capture Yuzu. He not only brutally beats Yuzu he nearly kills her. Then as for his Duel with Jack, Roger was in total control of his actions until Jack's spirit resonated with Sergey's will and Roger lost all control over him.

In the anime, its materials doesn't even require a Fiend monster.

[@LucianDevine]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I genuinely think that they thought up the Earthbound Immortals cards first and thought of the turbo duals second. They are utter garbage without a permanent field spell, but with the permanent field spell that comes from turbo duals, their biggest weakness is negated, not to mention that's 3 effective cards in the deck that it frees up, or 1 in the anime, because anime 1 of's.

[@melvinshine9841]

While none of the Earthbound Gods are particularly good, Aslla Piscu is actually part of the reason Union Carrier is banned, since there was a pretty consistent FTK you could do with it. Kind of surprised he didn't mention how Wiraqocha Rasca has a very different effect in the anime. It could just drop an opponent's life points to 1, I think at the cost of it not attacking that turn. Ironically enough, the Earthbound Prisoners are really good in a Red Demon's Dragon deck, especially Stone Sweeper since it can search all the Resonator monsters.

So thanks for making such fun videos.

[@thegamedanalyst2169]

The OG immortals themselves need retrains. Most of their unique effects are mid at best, but Cusillu, the monkey, is the worst because you can’t even use its effect. It requires Cusilla to be attacked into, but the immortals can’t be attacked. And there’s no card that cherry picks which effects can and can’t be used; it’s all or none. Meaning, if you tried to negate its battle protection effect, you also negate its battle effect, making it essentially just a 2800 beat stick with nothing else to it

[@nickxx.]

Actually, you can use Cussila's effect. Just attack a monster with more attack points and then use it's eff to prevent it's own destruction by battle. Still bad tho

[@furionmax7824]

Ya know what if they created an archetype for the Earthbound immortals thats a sort of UnBound state? A simple field spell card called Earthbound Ascension. When an earthbound immortal is on the field it is able to release its chains and evolve into a higher and more benevolent form called Ascended Inmortal. And heres its effects. 1: it can equip any card to itself including cards that can only be equipped to specific monsters. 2: they cannot be destroyed by card effects. 3: all monsters on the field must attack this monster if they are able to. Its the opposite of their own effects such as being untargetable for attacks. But the spell card has another effect. As long as theres an Ascended Immortal on the field and ONLY an Ascended Immortal neither can be destroyed by card effects or battle. Last parts important. Bc if you have another spell, trap or monster on your side of the field the Field Spell can be destroyed. If not. It cant. So it balances it all out bc if the monster is stronger it forces you to risk playing more cards to enhance the Ascended Immortal.

I feel the Immortals could go rouge-level, with a bit of dedicated Support. Maybe something called "Earthbound Tributes", which would be 3 or 4 MainDeck Monsters for each Immortal, who overlap with their respectives Immortal´s Type, and have effects that help with Field Setup and fascillitating the unique Effects.

Every living person that is not a signer. Also, ironic how you showed the dud xD; when they didn’t die in that version

[@homunculus7]

FYI IF YOU use the synchro Muddy dragon you can make a ton of powerful level 10 fusions that are negaters and or destroyers and flood gaters aswell as synchro summoning level 9 or 10 with harmonic fusion. I like to use any level 5 thaT can be special summoned with the level 1 who i used to also summon the level 3 who adds harmonic to my hand and i make muddy dragon then use harmonic for any level 9 red dragons monster i like nova master since its a negater and then i fusion summon any of the earth bound fusions if the situation needs them but if not I summon Grapha who is also a negater. Another combo is using the field spell that lets you summon twice and i use line walker to special summon then add the whale to my hand and summon the whale making line walker set my opponents lifepoints to 3k then i use the whale to make them take 1200 damage and by turn one my opponent only had 1800 life points left

By far my favorite villain archetype from 5Ds! Aslla Piscu is my favorite!

[@Pookiebear]

I miss old YuGiOh

[@nourelden887]

Fun fact about the earthbound prisoner There levels are one 5 and two tuners level 3 and 1 They are like level 5 "oracle of the sun" and the two tuners level 3 "fire aunt ascator" and level 1 "supay" Also for sun and moon dragon that are level 8 and 6 the synchro earthbound are 8 and 6 Even the fusions have the same levels Except the big fusion is level 10 as the earthbound immortal

[@tyronmilward-bridges7100]

Great archetype vid Sam. Do you still intend to do boss monster cards for all the Master duel Yu-Gi-Oh series?

[@TheUnknownGhost.9907]

8:00 Whether this was intentional or not, but if you take Earthbound Greater Line Walker and Earthbound Immortal WR then combined they have 3K Atk and Def to align if Greater Line Walker’s effect goes off. This could be a nod to Earthbound Immortal WR being the Immortal Roman used in the anime.

Id love to play Earthbounds myself, you did a fantastic job with this video

[@michaelmulligan-nufer186]

I personally love to splash 3 copies each of HSF, the level 1 Earthbound tuner & the level 5 Earthbound effect monster, and Kraken into my Resonator/RDA deck, so I can get out Red Rising Dragon super quick. Imho, they pair SUPER WELL together.

[@mr.thekid3827]

I can't believe you forgot my favorite Earthbound monster, "Earthbound Spirit"! It's a level 4 Earth Fiend monster with 500 ATK and 2000 DEF. (And no effects.) I did have a funny thought though, since some Superheavy Samurai decks can get to the point of having a Synchro monster or Two without using their normal summon, and there's an Earthbound Field Spell that lets Synchro monsters count as two tributes, it's not a GOOD version of the deck, but is there a world where you could make Superheavy Samurai Earthbound Immortal Blind Second OTK work-? Obviously if the field spell goes the whole deck goes with it, because there's a spell in grave and no field spell on board- but I've gotta wonder if it could do anything at all XD

UPDATE: I MADE IT WORK IT'S BAD, BUT I MADE IT WORK

[@dmoney8963]

I like how the card based on Rex lets you special summon him if you get to the game state he had for most of the final duel of the dark signer arc Sun dragon inti and moon dragon quills his two synchros which swapped between the field and graveyard

[@TheDark4light]

I know theyre practically dead draws but I just love niche cards. Just filling your backrow, never activating them to the point where your opponent goes "okay theyre bluffing" or "what useless cards they must have." And then you finally draw your earthbound immortal and its like, "okay this monster effect lets me summon it, this trap effect let's me sacrifice it, this effect lets me bring it back and damage your life points, this effect lets me power up my monster." Then you have one card left on the field that can either negate their spells/traps or force them to attack your earthbound immortal. Of course since backrow build up is useless and every card has an effect thats either "negate your opponents card effects" or "ruin the game by not letting them play" Im well aware of how impossible it would be to pull this off. What can I say, the anime's better.

[@BigPapaShane]

I've been playing this deck recently, and it's so much fun. Whether it's using what I have to clear the field in Battle Phase, then using Gremlin and Gremlina/Kraken to bring out Grasha, or using Gremlina to grab Greater Linewalker, and then using him to grab Chacu Challhua to get the opponent to 1800 LP without even attacking. It's a ton of fun.

[@grand_admiral_henrich4416]

Gotta love the 6 OG EBI monster names, super complicated... Then there is Uru

[@Oyasumi-punpun938]

Can't wait to see Perfomapal/Performage and D/D archetypes. They are my favorites.
