My dad once bought me some Yu-Gi-Oh cards, he didn't know they were fake but I'll never forget one card telling me to "shake the elbows three times and deal damage times 300"

wait wait What? Shake the Elbow? 😆😆😆 I think it means Shake the Dice in your Hand since some Cards also use Dice to Roll!

[@bongerman42069]

For a company to be more shady than Konami is kinda hilarious considering the Kojima incident and making literal gambling machines to name just 2 things is wild

[@ilyafoskin]

It sounds like Upper Deck were basically just a criminal organisation using their official connection with Yugioh to produce convincing counterfeits.

[@LordTyph]

I'm pretty sure they were involved with Pokemon TCG too and caused problems there, though I might be getting things confused.

​@@LordTyphpokemon was WoTC and then they had deals with Topps for non tcg trading cards iirc.

Konami is an evil company, upper deck was merely stupid. Konami has one of the most hostile workplaces on earth, they micromanage and humiliate their employees.

The jokes Little Kuriboh said when this was going on was pretty hilarious too "Kaiba we may hate each other as much as Konami hates Upper Deck now, but we have to focus and WORK together"

[@robb4606]

He also wasn't wrong when he said "yugioh: the only card game endorsed by Satan"

[@ManofSteel4889]

I remember this going on. I quit Yugioh in 2005 when they banned the most expensive cards in my deck. Which, being in 10th grade at the time, was a huge deal for me. When I was in college I tried it again and i learned about “Hobby League” Cards and I still own a few of them. Little did I know that was one of the reasons they were shit canned.

[@VanFactor]

I attended upper deck day. It was awesome. So much stuff was given out. It was quite obvious they just wanted to cash out and get rid of their product before they had to burn it.

[@SeelieFhey]

I remember upper deck day. That was actually a scam. The one I went to in New Jersey had an address and there was no event there. Like 10 people drove out there and stood around for an hour before leaving

I had always wondered why Upper Deck got the boot off Konami. And I was a legal judge for Upper Deck YGO and then all of a sudden my contact person here in Sweden just wrote a mail "there are some problems, there wont be any sanctioned tournaments for a while".

[@CaptainMarvel4Ever]

"Or if you're Irish, communion money" lol yup, that line made my day. It's funny there was a time when the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG cared about the reputation of its card quality that much. I know the OCG has always had better everything, but these days the card quality control over here has declined to comical levels. I'm not saying Konami of America/Europe is Wizards of the Coast bad, but it's a real shame that with the rise of popularity of TCGs in the west the quality seems to be on an inverse trajectory, especially since all of Bandai's games have released the same standard of quality control for their cards as they do in Japan. Least we don't need to deal with the bozos from upper Deck anymore. Crazy story though, this was a great video highlighting some juicy history of the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG. Really hope this one gets some traction, it was very well done. I'm curious who edits these, because I think Carl's the main editor (could be wrong) and I don't see him being able to do such deep dive references while editing for a game he doesn't play.

[@CardmarketYGO]

Thanks, hopefully this becomes one of those evergreen hallmark videos for anyone who ever searches for it! Carl is our creative director focusing mostly on Magic content, while editing and animation for all Yu-Gi-Oh produced media is done by our wonderful editor/animator Carolina, and occasionally myself. - Adam

"The poorer quality of these cards could cause irreparable damage too Konami's brand identity and have public perception of their product quality drop" *Cut to modern YGO cards*

[@valrex]

I really don't get how Upper Deck thought counterfeiting the 3 promos would go unnoticed. Of course Konami would end up noticing. Like these arts/or rarity were not suppose to exist yet. They greed for some extra cash in the moment and that cost them their compagny. It's sad but they deserved to fall with what they did.

[@wakkaseta8351]

Komoney's comment about how the low quality of the counterfeits could hurt the brand is hilarious considering how flimsy and low quality the TCG cards have become over the past decade, especially when you compare them to OCG cards.

[@zandrazoo2112]

This is the same for most card games, even mtg.

[@Hdjdhdhhdhh]

I heart that they aren’t more flimsy/thin. What’s the truth now?

[@paulolucero9864]

​@@Hdjdhdhhdhh nah I tell you they're NOTORIOUSLY worse. Last weekend I was going thru my friends cards and got 2 cards (one from latest packs and one from a couple years ago) and it SHOWS.

[@Hdjdhdhhdhh]

@@paulolucero9864 don’t get me wrong they are definitely completely worse in every aspect. I have many old cards because I collect old holos and I have obviously many new cards and the differents is night and day. But I think the only thing they kept is the thickness of the cards but I could be wrong about it.

[@wakkaseta8351]

@@Hdjdhdhhdhh Nope, I still have a bunch of old cards, and the difference in feel between something like a Starter Deck Yugi common and a modern day common out of the pack is like night and day. Modern holos meanwhile will curl in just a day if you don't keep them double-sleeved because of the thinner cardstock. And OCG cards have been about twice as thick as TCG cards from the very beginning.

[@dante9284]

The best summary of the situation I've watched to date

[@CardmarketYGO]

Thanks! It took hours of legal paper digging to find everything!

[@novalaxia]

Konami were well-known for lawsuits throughout the 2000s, they certainly didn't mess around during this time... (how fitting that this video comes up while Konami is suing Cygames) Unlike a lot of other legal pursuits around this time (anyone remember In the Groove?) Konami definitely had much more fair ground here, though they really went around it in a wild way here LOL. pretty funny to see how little things have changed...

[@Riptor25]

Upperdeck killed the goose that layed the golden egg

[@chimmyinfernape9189]

This whole situation reminds me of what happened to the card game chaotic. It was huge for a very short time then one company sued another and it was ent allowed to make cards. Which is a shame cos it was a super fun game I preferred it to yugioh. And it was a juggernaut sales wise where I could have seen it being up there with yugioh,mtg and Pokémon as a 4th game

[@demonic_myst4503]

Not the same nor had that ended chaotic stoped because they rented rights for the game iff a asian comoony that owned the game then made a show and the western producers tried claim ownwrship of the entire thing that legal battle hone on for over a decade and last time i check it was finishing uo back before oandemic and planed a return but went silent after that

So I was a YuGiOh judge and hobby store co-owner at the time all this went down. I remember general confusion around the Upper Deck day from my regulars as well as an increase in counterfeit cards coming into the store, generally from a local fair. One thing I will note as well to add to the story that I clearly recall was receiving a package from Upper Deck around the time I heard Konami would be taking over. It was full of booster boxes and swag as a 'thank you' for all the years blah blah. I cannot recall if it was sent to me for being a judge or the store, but I think it was to long-time judges (had been one since 2003).

I remember I got one of those blisters, similar to Duel King 2, at a Toys R Us in the LA area in 2008 when I culminated from 5th grade but the promos my blister had were the Aqua Neos, Electrum, and Flute of Summoning Kuriboh and they came in standard sized Ultra Pro sleeves(with Larry Elmore art on it) that I still have. Also, back during the sneak peek days of the GX era they used to have promo shirts based on the sets that were releasing and for Hobby League as well, I think those were also an Upper Deck idea since those shirts stopped releasing after early 5Ds era (2008).

[@mageside]

Could you discuss the conspiracy theory behind The Anime Art of Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon? The Conspiracy being they made the Millennium Tablet art in conjunction to the UDE lawsuit and lost the rights to the anime artwork. So Konami limits the usage of the anime artwork and often just (LAZILY IMO) use the Millennium Tablet Artwork when it comes to importing those three iconic cards instead of using the obviously more popular artwork from the anime that made the card game itself a cultural phenomena the world over. I haven't found concrete evidence for this theory, it's just wild speculation for trying to quell the nerves whenever DM, BEWD or REBD get reprinted with probably some of their least favorited artwork (Which is just my speculation)

[@autobotstarscream765]

Does Upper Deck own Air Neos in the TCG?

[@Kylora2112]

My man really called baseball cards a trading card game ;) I was big into football and baseball cards in the 90s, and Upper Deck were one of the REALLY big names (along with Topps, Donruss, and Fleer), and always had incredibly high quality products.

[@residentgrey]

Talking about 4Kids as a whole would also be worth the time too. They changed the shows SO MUCH, they essentially became another entity.

[@Azeria]

2:10 honestly I’m not sure it does, like I get why a) you’ve said that from a storytelling pov and b) why Konami may have thought that at the time but… This situation, as well as the pain in the arse WOTC was continuously while running Pokemon, compared to Duel Masters, a game developed entirely in English in America by Wizards for an exclusively Japanese audience, which is, fine. Just translate the cards, run one ban list, release the cards at the same time.

[@HomeCookinMTG]

>4kids had proven themselves very capable of adapting Japanese media Did they? Did they really? They purchased a whole bunch of licenses for shows without actually looking at what they were purchasing, that’s why we ended up with a really janky and weird one piece back in the day. They also tried to market card captor sakura young boys. I don’t know that I’d really call them capable at adapting Japanese media.

[@Pen_Slinger]

So that's where my fake cards came from. When I was told by a judge that I had some fake cards in my deck, I was very confused as to where they came from since I always bought from card packs.

[@Maelael]

I was looking for yugioh cards at my local comic store and helped the owner figure out how to spot fakes

[@GetShwiftyInHere]

I was in middle school when that change happened and I loved the brighter text box and borders, but do miss the classic look. Kinda reminds me of the Magic to Spell card title suit. Yugioh cards have changed a lot, but for the better, I suppose

[@BobbyCorwen42]

Too bad Konami doesn't properly reprint the popular cards at lower rarity outside of the OCG.

[@Kylora2112]

Umm...Upper Deck was still in charge when we had $200 cards in mono-deck formats (like DAD). And rarer cards are easier to pull, too (just that the chase cards are way more valuable). I'd rather have core set ultimate rares again, and multi-rarities, but the modern ratios are WAY better than they used to be.

[@Zanji1234]

oh yeah that time was interesting. First we had the "Uperdeck takes over and suddenly all cards from America are playable in the EU" making suddenly several sets here playable which were not available a short time before the German nationals. (In germany we had PSV while US had already IOC) Before that time every country in the EU had a different distributor (in Germany it was Amigo Spiele) and you were only allowed to play YOUR language cards in official events and then "BOOM" the BIG Upperdeck scandal a few years later. We didn't had "official" Tournament support, nobody knew if there will be any larger tournaments at all (Regionals, Nationals or Worlds) and everyone was like "ok that COULD be interesting" (i was 16 when i started playing the game and me and my friends (one of them was 20 already) were able to host official tournaments with the store (basically the store just let us use the name but everything else like ordering the TP Cards and stuff was in our hands)

[@darkcardking]

What UDE did was called something called sixth shift or something like that. Basically (allegedly) what UDE did was after the factories shut down for the night, they would start back up the machines and just start printing these cards on whatever stock they had on hand (which is why it was close, but not perfect. It was paper stock or extra material that they had left over).

[@CD-Gaming]

So, wait, is that what happened to the "Yu-Gi-Oh! Sized" sleeves then? I used to love them! They were bigger than Small and smaller than Standard (used by all the others,, Digimon, Magic, Pokémon) and the cards weren't as snug or as much of a pain to get in! Plus, Bandai originally printed Yu-Gi-Oh! cards...

There was more of a mixed transition than you mentioned. Ie a bunch of European nationals were still ran by ude despite having already lost the court case.

[@CardmarketYGO]

UDE Europe is actually quite a sad story, with them never being involved in the shenanigans of UDE America. Sins of the father kind of thing. This is potentially why they still ran events, as a part of an easing out for UDE Europe, as opposed to the American branch just getting completely removed immediately. - Adam

[@Arcanua]

I remember this mess XD I actually did an in depth essay about it for high school forever ago.

[@joeyvernon9216]

I find the quality of wording in Yu-Gi-Oh, and the ability of dancing around the wording by the players impressive, and consider this; if the players study law standards the same way they study their Yu-Gi-Oh cards, they would be amazing lawyers in a court situation. Also, I'm no lawyer in any way, I have collected Yu-Gi-Oh cards since they came out, and played the game before there was an official rule book. However, I see the connection between two lawyer(dullest) and their arguments( the cards they play) and how what they say, and when they say it matters most of all( timing and activation effects) And because of Yu-Gi-Oh, I took a liking to math and gained a better understanding of how "what you say" matters, but "how you say it, and when" matters too. I would take a Yu-Gi-Oh understanding lawyer with knowledge of the law over a lawyer with only knowledge of the law any day. Too bad they don't exist yet😢

[@SketchingHands]

They did Upper Deck day because after a certain date they legally couldn’t sell the product. Having it the same day as a Shonen Jump Championship was then being petty.

Pokemon TCG had a similar dispute and split around 2003/2004

[@GoyBenius_0901]

2003 yeah, but WOTC weren't producing bootleg cards behind TCPI's back, unless you count releasing Dark Raichu "early" or changing the artwork on a Snorlax promo card.

[@NitroNEXT]

@@GoyBenius_0901 Sure, that's why it's only similar. The dispute didn't get to this level but they still wanted to sever ties with them which resulted in petty actions being taken once they knew they would lose the license. In both cases I believe they tried offloading product as quickly as possible to lower the value.

[@Shadowrulzalways]

You are aware that only the 4Kids dub of Yugioh was marketed as a children’s show. The original Japanese version was not. The Japanese version is a Shonen. Shonen is a demographic term for both manga and anime that primarily targets early to late teen boys between ages 12 and 18. And even former chief-editor of Weekly Shonen Jump Hiroyuki Nakano himself confirmed this in his interviews and even articles written before his position confirms this. Also the Yugioh OCG (Official Card Game) is advertised for ages 12 and up in Japan. And even the back of every pack all say; “対象年齢12才以上” (Translation: “Target age 12 years and older”) Which is a teen rating by their standards. And keep in mind, this was since 1999 when the game was officially released. So understand, Yugioh was never a “children’s show” in Japan. And still isn’t. The only version of Yugioh that was actually intended for children is Rush Duels and the two anime that promote it. Such as Sevens and Go Rush. I suggest you research more on the Japanese version and less on the English dub because you’ve all been lied to by 4Kids. 😂
