The "Fallen of Albaz" Cinematic Lore in 15 Minutes

[@swdfulord]

Did you forget the part when Gimmick Puppet Nightmare emerged out of the dreadful alba lenatus and saved the day by not allowing the despian forces to special summon monsters during the turn it was summoned, except "Gimmick Puppet" monsters? Really good summary still, though.

[@daviddaritan]

Ok now this is canon in my head.

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

Historical records aren't clear on that. Some say it was actually a decipel of the Winged Dragon of Ra and others still claim it was actually the legendary Ido, a Supremem Magical Force. The most interesting accounts are those that say Ido was actually destroyed by the Despia and tied it's magic to the heros' forces, crippling them and allowing the Despia to crush them once and for all. Perhaps they're all true and glimpses into alternate realities?

[@Jonesingaroundtown]

how is this archetypical story not an anime? This would be an epic show.

[@squishyking129]

I really do hope so, if they make a new anime they could give this deck to someone important...that way the person can tell the story to someone else and we could actually see it in the anime

They couldve cut spright.. in general.. such a lame archetype

It really is though. Branded has left a lasting impression on the community overall. Still competes in meta too.

im a very superficial yugioh player but i play branded/despia and it will forever have a special place in my heart

[@asuraphreak]

@@blueblooddragons6986 Agreed. The deck just has a nostalgia feel to it due to being a fusion heavy deck.

[@ArloHodges]

This video was sick! I'm currently a noob trying who didn't know at all what to pick, but after this and some more looking at card art, I reaaaally want to make some sort of albaz deck with the current available stuff in master duels. I've gotten everything in the alba secret pack except albaz the ashen and a couple of UR dragons - and don't really know where to go from here, since every website says different things. Any suggestions? It looks super fun and scratches my "need lore" itch (and I now want every card shown in this awesome video).

[@hyped9621]

Fuck he got me too 😂! Now I have to build every single archetype mentioned in the video haha

[@DarkryeXII]

It's amazing how much lore can be told from the art alone. I was eager to get new support everytime just to get more of the lore. Hope we'll get to see them again someday! The art, the story, the cards, branded evolved each time and it was so fun. Probably the best thing konami has ever done.

[@GunnerDuels]

This was really well narrated over and really nice transitions all while the artwork was amazing!

[@NexusSpacey]

This is now the shortest, most concise way to explain to someone what the Albaz lore is. It must've taken you a while to draft the best script for this. Well done :D

[@SHOOTEgy]

Great video mate. really enjoyed the narration, sound & graphical effects, I also really appreciate the captions, just a few notes though: @2:20 Sprind is not an Albaz transformation, instead it is a mechanical vechile created by Kitt & the springans, it's used to test Albaz & Ecclesia (who you can see inside the vechile), on their ability to join the Springans on their missions & salvages, eventually succeeding in finding lost treasures & what would be Ecclesia's new weapon in the art of Springans Booty @4:05 Albaz's Transformation is not voluntary, instead it's a result of Maximus's actions in Dogmatika, which activates his brand along with the ushering of the Thespians/Despians, also this dragon is an untamed beast, who is not in control, and casts a hazard, not only to the serpent, but also to his fellow allies, that's why he's struck by Iris/Fleur along with the serpent, he is finally tamed when he hears Ecclesia call out the name she gave him, Albaz, thus finally he is calmed, and transforms into his shrouded form

[@yugoyugo3271]

This was a masterpiece but even that doesn't do it enough justice

[@r3zaful]

There are a few problems with this one tho : Quem is the first saint of dragon dogma/dogmatika, the girl in red hair are sacrificial children for her to be possessed, because quem was already dead before the start of the story, she then sacrificed for bystial creations, while quem possessed the defeated ecclesia. her effect specifically use other monster to buff herself, mirroring her power of control others and her sacrificial status since you can't kill the high level dogmatika without killing her first while she is on the field.

[@r3zaful]

dogmatika/dragon dogma believe that become a a dragon is the ultimate form of enlightenment, maximus and quem sadly met aluber instead albaz prior to the beginning of the story, aluber is actually a demon not a dragon as you can see from his real form masquerade and his name in Japanese basically means false son of God while albaz is legitimate son of God, we can see that maximus is actually a decent man in the dogmatika token artwork.

[@Maruhodo]

@@r3zaful what dogmatika token? also what card that shows maximus met aluber first? the rest i agree. as the name implies ; he is masquerading a dragon, but in fact, his type is fiend. aluber original type is also fairy, not dragon. I purely believe aluber does this just out of boredom, as his token flavortext said : he mocked the light while deceiving the dark. He's his own alignment.

[@JiryStark]

@@Maruhodo "He's his own alignment" indeed a fairy

[@onkel_dodo7079]

Great Video! I saw a video where the story was expanded to over an hour. And I still think that the story is so awesome, Konami should do an animated series or a videogame from it. Riot does the same with their characters from League, so why shouldn't Konami do that?

[@larrytherustyboii7442]

Idk if a movie would be enough to cover the lore, I can see a two part maybe

[@zumbie]

konami needs to step up their game. Main series anime has been in decline since forever and the way netflix series are done nowadays they could make the amazing lore of some of the game archetypes like branded or world legacy into something like Arcane, Vox Machina, Castlevania, DOTA, etc... They could even go for an episodic take for the smaller arquetypes like one week Spyrals, the next Blackwings, the next Necroz, etc.. It has so much potential besides what they have been doing for the last 25 years, besides a hit series or movie on netflix would amp the momentum the franchise got with master duel the last couple of years introducing new people to the game also.

[@gamersreactions9267]

World Legacy better trust bro

[@thecolonel5700]

This lore could legit be a top tier quality anime. Just amazing to see how all the different factions intertwine with each other and how the boss monsters actually came to be.

[@lyndellduality1169]

This is top tier content! So many Yugitubers focus on the Master Duel and TCG meta aspect of the game that the lore behind the cards is usually not appreciated enough until somebody comes along and puts it all together. Great video!

As someone who only recently got back into yugioh after not playing since 2003 and only recently playing again since master duel released on playstation, i have to say branded despia is by far my favorite deck to play, this was by far a awesone video, even wat hed a video a few months ago that basically explains the albaz lore also, its insane how the game has progressed to what it is now, hipe the branded archtype only gets stronger as the years go on.
