The Collapse of Chaotic

[@lssjvegeta7103]

The fact there's still some people that still remember chaotic is absolutely mindblowing

[@inserttaken_name1762]

man i loved the show when it was still ongoing and it did feel bad when suddenly no new episodes aired anymore, i hope to see it returning someday now that i have given up on yugioh id be up to give it a try

[@TheMasterBlaze]

I remember going through a Walmart trading card endcap and seeing Chaotic on the shelf and I was dumbfounded. I was like "wait... I thought it was just a show!"

[@PrettierNPastel]

I remember

[@potatoplunderer]

I loved this show as a kid. I had no idea there was a card game associated with it!

[@rishabhanand4973]

yeah i assumed that me, my brother, and 2 of my cousins were like 50 percent of the show's viewership cuz we knew no one else who had even heard of chaotic

[@bumblesmcfumbles]

I am so thankfully finally someone brought up the lawsuit being total BS. It is mystifying to see big channels talk about Chaotic, and recite a fan rumor without a basis in reality. Thank you for doing any amount of research.

[@truegamerking]

I had no idea how big chaotic was. I only ever thought it was a niche game with a small player base. The game was also overly complex. I couldn't figure it out, but maybe that was just 11 year old me not having the reading comprehension to understand the rule book.

[@danielmokobia106]

Same

[@arthropod-doctor]

I thought so too when I was around 11. But I actually tried to learn the game recently, and it's incredibly intuitive

[@ChaoticRud]

Great vid! Anyone reminiscing about Chaotic is always a good thing.

[@Chuey_TV]

Appreciate the support! I’m a fan of your channel, keep up the great content!

[@RollieMcFly27]

I didn't realize Chaotic was so big, it tailed right behind the two major names in TCGs. I always thought it was small and easily forgotten which was why no one seemed to notice that it was gone. I started rewatching the series and collecting the cards this year, I'm ready for a revival.

[@Mailed-Knight]

Yu-Gi-Oh started off as a comic, then a TV show, the card game after that.

[@MomirViggwilv]

God I want this to come back. The game was legit so much fun. The lore was pretty dope too.

[@dylanobrey7104]

I’d actually be ecstatic if they brought this back! I loved the show and was bummed when I found out I couldn’t play it because the game had disappeared

[@gameboys0311]

Not sure why KZbin recommended me this, but here's a comment for the algorithm

[@ballpython3310]

Still love the game. Have every m'arrillian, love the lovecraftian elements they have.

[@richardwalker2881]

The fact the rival would later have an Expy in Yu-Gi-Oh gx is very interesting

[@AmariieMaerthos]

I used to rock the hell out of a Danian deck

[@burntisk2996]

The artwork of chaotic was unmatched and still is imo. Its what got me hooked to begin with

[@Boomboy53]

It’s always awesome seeing more people talk about Chaotic

[@aggronassociate4074]

Chaotic was great. Looking forward to its return.

[@elin111]

Now a days there are so many card games coming out that a Chaotic revival likely wouldn't go particularly well. Just ask Battle Spirits how they're doing.

[@cillasasha8157]

Yeah, how Is Battle spirits doing? I Discovered It through the anime, and got mildly into It. I see the cards are still being printed, how is the game doing?

[@elin111]

@@cillasasha8157 It crashed and burned horrifically very quickly when it first came out. Last year they tried to do a reboot but it's not doing much better than last time because people are busy playing other card games.

[@Jasesaster]

Or ask Metazoo.

[@AstralPhnx]

​@@Jasesastermore like deadzoo

[@LowTier4Life]

Battle Spirits was handled horribly by bandai, same with metazoo and their company. I think Chaotic could do well should it come back, Flesh and Blood is relatively new and its doing great, Digimon is doing well enough, Grand Archive is growing, Lorcana and One Peice's tcg are also doing well. I think the game would do fine

[@darkreuchiha1842]

Holy shit, thanks for the nostalgia I almost forgot about this. It was a fun series

[@jamesbeattie8800]

2024 and I still love, play and collect Chaotic Cards and watch the show.

[@IronAceZero]

I really hope Chaotic comes back one day. I been waiting since forever when it was first announced the game could come back in the future. I think in the really saturated market of card games they want to get things right as they got one shot to hit the ground running. Take Battle Spirits Saga for instance another game I really like that was hyped up with huge cash prizes where a couple months later your first two sets booster boxes are worth $20 and stores probably don’t want to carry your product anymore cause it probably won’t sell. I skimmed a lot of details surrounding the game but you can learn more about Battle Spirit Saga from Kohdok video covering it.

[@brewskimckilgore6796]

the original story for chaotic: now or never reminds me a lot of mtg's brothers war which was novelized in 98. 2 brothers gain access to alternate plane & seek power via artifacts and spellcraft

[@GOLDABDI]

Hope they bring back Chaotic one day 🤞🏾

[@elin111]

Looking at how Battle Spirits' revival went like, that might not be a good idea for Chaotic to comeback when there's 6 card games coming out per year

[@logandelaharpe6362]

Seeing as at its peak it was bigger then magic it would likely push those tcgs down

[@multiagustin2]

I want the digital game, and a new TV series too! Maybe redo the original with a more mature tone to appeal to all of us, children who grew up with it, that are now adults.

[@restmydudes8778]

I always wondered what happened to Chaotic, I just thought it people got tired of it rather than it just being recession related. But that thought also always seemed invalid because when chaotic went down we got Redakai which always felt like a diluted chaotic to me, and that did well for a bit

[@ImEpialos]

Funny enough the online game was one of the first fully fleshed out online card games. I played a lot as a kid and still have my collection of the cards it was such an interesting and very simple and enjoyable card game that gave more value to the cards due to the codes you could enter into the online client. It is sad the game failed truly was ahead of its time in my opinion.

[@danielmokobia106]

If the game does return the best market for this game would be an online client with the tcg it will bring in a lot of new players or people never heard of the game.

[@GR1MMow]

nice content dude, keep it up!

[@Ariamaki]

Missing a timestamp around 7:28 for the transition to the actual Collapse segment.

[@DragoLucifer260]

I love chaotic, I actually tried getting into it back then but it was already almost over by the time I convinced my mom

[@brandonsparkman8438]

Chaotic live it. play it. Chaotic.

[@romulusnuma116]

You got me feeling nostalgic

[@Elite-Milly]

Tell me more about Medabots and Zatch Bell. I think you did an amazing job with chaotic.

[@balrogdemorgoth4741]

La série était sympa.

[@bungeegum4177]

FORTISSIMO!!!!!

[@diabolos5382]

also 4kids was going thru a lawsuit with Konomi , witch is were i believe the chaotic lawsuit came from.

[@SgvSth]

4Kids was not going through a lawsuit with Konami. The lawsuit 4Kids was going though was the one brought by TV Tokyo, Nihon Ad Systems and Asatsu-DK. Nihon Ad Systems produced the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, TV Tokyo aired the anime in Japan, Asatsu-DK licensed the anime outside of Japan, and all three jointly held the rights to Yu-Gi-Oh with other companies like Konami. Since the issue did not involve the actual trading cards, Konami didn't participate in the lawsuit as a Plaintiff. There are no details about any Chaotic lawsuit online. The only thing I can find is that 4Kids shut down TC Digital in the third quarter of 2010 to save some money, which caused the Chaotic products that they were creating/managing to come to a halt. 4Kids held the licensing for parts of Chaotic and kept it post-bankruptcy, with it not returning to the original creators until somewhere in the mid-2010s.

[@SporkSlayer]

Hopefully you do not scream in terror But I have found an animation error 5:37

[@grigori9061]

Clears throat: f@*k 4kids tv

[@WildDancer101]

While it is nice to see Chaotic announcing it's return, I don't think it should do so the way things are now, what with the cancel pigs making everything an echo chamber on how things should be gay, lame, diverse, etc. If Chaotic returned during that time, it would be hijacked by extreme activists that want to use the new reboot show as a tool to 'send a message'. You wouldn't want all that shoved down your throat every five minutes when you just want to enjoy a story, would you? Maybe Chaotic is developing it's reboot, its just staying quiet until this current era of social engineering kicks the bucket.

[@Emotless]

Wow. What triggered you?

[@TRENCHESandTREADS]

@@Emotless He told you what triggered him, extreme activists hijacking properties to prioritize sending a message instead of making a good story. Now that that's out of the way, what triggered you to make a snide remark?

[@TheFatalcrest]

Hm. *looks back at the Men vs Women battle episode* If the writer's are tough and stick to havong fun and a good story, they might poke fun at the crazies that are nipping at their ankles. Buuuut i understand your reservations, the last thing this franchise needs is to step out and immediately turn off the base by bringing human issues to Perim in a way that isn't Players interacting with a different world and society.

[@TemporalDelusion]

Chaotic looks a lot lamer than I remember. It did not age well at all compared to Yugioh. Maybe I just grew to be averse to "western" feeling products and IPs.

[@ballpython3310]

Didn't get the chance to develop a ton either. It had 8 sets which is what something like yugioh does every year or two, granted a lot are reprints.

[@TheFatalcrest]

Hm what makes it look lame? The first seasons designs?

[@Chidon0]

tldr the card game was bad

[@logandelaharpe6362]

Which is why it beat out magic for third at its uh huh it’s not bad it’s great you just don’t like it
