Gotta be honest here Nova. I find the sheer lack of plants in this plant duelists deck very disconcerting.

[@kbrxion5620]

My absolute favorite archetype that deserves actually support the deck needs. For how popular Akiza is among the female yugioh cast, its crazy how little support the deck has gotten.

[@SuperShadowKinTwitch]

The archetype just needs some consistency. I wish Ruddy Rose Princess searched a rose dragon. I was so disappointed in it's effect of needing to play 2 garnets just to summon a level 7 synchro.

[@chrisgonzalez5883]

It's doing a lot better than an ancient fairy dragon. She has no support or up grade forms

[@captainsunshine64]

The rose dragons were huge for the deck, I'd say it's had quite a lot of support tbh, it just wasn't very good

[@eball_editz333]

Yeah my favorite archetype too

[@wbrodie55]

Literally, all it needs is a "rose"searcher and a boss that allows them to interact with on the opps turn. Yeah, there's flora and cross rose, but they require so much setup that it's not really worth it.

[@Advent3546]

Yes I love Akiza! One of the best female Yugi characters and her Rose Dragons are so damn fun to play!

[@blackchibisan8116]

Me every time Nova does an archetype breakdown: Huzzah! Me when I hear him somehow still able to make puns about every card: He can’t keep getting away with this!

[@gamerule18]

He can and he will I'll make sure of that

[@RickKouwen]

43:18 can confirm Aromaseraphy rosemaery is a rose synchro in the ocg

[@23gameoverlord]

Akiza was certainly one of the best main cast characters that Yu-Gi-Oh has ever had, a very capable duelist, a very complex character with a great growth arc, and an awesome deck.

[@symantares9171]

I think part of what made this my favorite season of yugioh was that it was relatable: I was always an outsider, and so were my friends; we just didn't fit in so we found a family with each other, and even if we've drifted apart or had some bad blood, we're all still family

[@DMDracoMoondragon]

Thank you for showing off why Akiza is best YGO girl! Also, Black Rose Dragon is best Synchro Monster, period! I should also point out that Rose Dragons have a special place in my heart, as I do have an IRL Rose Dragon deck that my fiancee bought for me for Christmas 2021, and the archetype as a whole represents the bond I shared with my late mother. I need to improve the deck to make it more consistent, but the point is that carrying that deck makes me feel like I have a piece of my mom there with me when I play it.

I absolutely do ship Aki and Yusei, and see Ruddy Rose Dragon as the wonderful child of Black Rose and Stardust. Though I do wish they could've picked a better TCG name; I understand they couldn't exactly import it as "Bloody Rose Dragon", but there had to have been better English words to go into, like Crimson or Scarlet.

[@TheWcasey]

Loved seeing how Akiza's story played.

[@Lyricaon]

With the new support for Stardust and Red Dragon Archfiend and the overall focus on Synchros that we are getting this year (and the support for Blackwings in DWB) I hope for new Black Rose Support soon. And I think there is a real chance we get it.

[@Nephalem2002]

The Dragon that went “WTF BOOM!” Anytime you casted it.

[@netter11]

Biggest tragedy of this video was not playing the greatest OST in 5D. Aki Izayoi Battle. Shame on you! Also really good video! I do like that you left the best for last to show everything else leading up for Black Rose Dragon. Keep up the good work!

[@ivanbluecool]

I remember getting black rose from a friend when he asked which one I wanted as red dragon was the other card. Glad I picked black rose as only me and two other people had it at the time. Got a second one in college just so I could play one and store the other one

[@VamYGO]

The opening of this video was absolutely amazing. Congratulations on 50k, I am so glad to be on the ride, even if I joined way later than most others.

[@IyoMaestro]

A little correction: Dragon Link wasn't the deck that got Red Rose limited. B.A.S.E.D. and in general all these Adventure Pile decks were the reason. The D. in B.A.S.E.D. even refers to the Rose Dragons.

[@Aoi_Ryuu]

fun fact about blue rose dragon since its a when effect if you chain wrong it can miss timing with black rose, in duel links this is a big issue since ou cant choose chain order

[@LeChampionPodcast]

From the rose garden to black wings nest really enjoying these specials

[@KnowPein14]

I'm just glad I got to see this. With Akiza being my favorite yugioh character ever and usually not much fanfare for her as a whole, I'm just so happy that the rose witch gets her moment in the sun

[@LarkManEXE]

Black Rose Dragon and Moonlight Dragon have always been in my decks! Akiza is my fave gal!

[@MaxBlankenship]

keep up the great work! i love all your videos and jokes. im hype to see your video on crow! hes always been my favorite character in 5'ds. i've always felt like he always got hated on for some reason. his deck in the show was debatably the most consistent and one of the strongest. yet, people love to hate on him as a character, and on his cards. not to mention, his back story always hit home for me.

[@Gridiron992]

Ah yes one of the best ygo girls with one of the coolest archetypes

[@Someone-lg6di]

Rip rose girl missed but not forgotten

[@danieltodoran8021]

Is Rose Girl meant to be a support directed towards Akiza? Or is just a generic Plant support? I always wondered🤔

[@CelerisXIV]

Combination of lonefire blossom and Black Rose Dragon made me love plant decks.

[@anthonythomas305]

Akiza, my favorite waifu in 5Ds ❤️❤️❤️

[@chromathekitsune8193]

I once got a black rose dragon from a random booster pack and I immediately fell in love with it I'm still yet to have a physical deck that can use it to it's fullest potential but I am so happy to see someone covering it

[@HeavenPrinceofChaos]

In my fanfiction, Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V: The White Flower Emperor, Satoshi Fudo(beter known as Ash Ketchum; I'll explain that sometime later) uses an archetype I created for him: the White Flower Dragons. This archetype/deck is a Dragon and Plant-type archetype that focuses heavily on facilitating Extra Deck summoning(Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum, and Link) and benefitting from said summons. They're also used to support the Stardust and Rose archetypes, and really help out the Deck's two boss monsters: Stardust Dragon and Black Rose Dragon, who, later in the story, get "killed off" by Silver and reincrnate into their much stronger forms: Nebulathorn Stardust Dragon and Starbloom Black Rose Dragon.

[@CrimsonReapress]

Akiza is my favorite Yugioh character, and Rose Dragons are my favorite archetype. I've been super excited waiting for this episode ❤️💗❤️💗

Thank you nova for these videos really have helped my days a lot easier

[@tensai_kodai]

Black Rose Dragon - a card that had an undeniable effect on the meta for a very long time and got no meaningful or playable support for 13 years... What great way to celebrate a fan favorite character and card... meanwhile we get new mega Stardust Synchros every other pack and Blood Rose Dragon counters its own strategy -.-

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

49:01 In my case, i wish Ruddy Rose's design had more variety. I don't know. Maybe give it more "Stardust" colors, considering this card has a "stardust dragon" like effect. 49:49 I am so sad we haven't gotten a "Rose Synchron" monster up to this day. Or maybe a "Rose" version of, I don't know, Junk Warrior

[@ryanwalters1682]

Of all the female duelists in the yugioh anime as a whole, none hold a special place in my heart quite like Akiza. I like Alexis Rhodes but I love Akiza Izinski.

[@matthewriddle2698]

I absolutely loved your thoughts and review of Akiza's cards, but I have a complaint I must bring up. Command Knight is a WOMAN! You can find this out easily when playing Duelist of the Roses on PS2 and is my favorite Deck Master, plus in her attack animation she has a feminine tone of voice, not a masculine one. Not to mention it's clear her chest armor is meant to cover her gifted breasts, not the biggest yes, but it's clear she has a build of a woman in armor. It never disappoints me, sometimes even annoys like now, to see people think Command Knight is a guy. Like seriously? Did no one see what SHE looks like as a whole monster?

[@pershingdoughboy]

Brotherhood of the fire fist next please

[@h3llg3ar]

Actually the deck that got Red Rose Dragon limited was Swordsoul. And we all know about the level 10 action that deck can go through. Nice assortment of "badum tsss" moments here. The saddest part about Moonlight Dragon is that she isn't a Rose Dragon by effect in the TCG., still a nice eight option. To answer on query you had, Dark Rose Fairy in the Rose Dragon deck is a stepping stone--specifically, Red and White Rose Dragon + Dark Rose Fairy = Trishula.

[@IyoMaestro]

Ehm B.A.S.E.D. was the deck the got it limited?

[@EthanKironus8067]

Considering that the ink on newspapers can be enough to outweigh their biodegradable potential (depending on the ink's ingredients), I'd say Yugioh cards are going to be resoundingly awful compost under any circumstances. P.S. Inferno Reckless Summon goes pretty well with Black Garden--not only can Black Garden's ATK-halving let you summon up to two monsters with a maximum of 3000 original ATK each, but if Rose Tokens are already set up for your opponent then you don't even have to worry about giving them anything in return.

[@tomcurl8034]

They should make a yellow rose dragon

[@willthomas4516]

I forgot how she used a decent amount of broken cards in real life.

[@windmirror7083]

Still weird to me that card's based off the artwork of Akiza such as Black witch of the Rose and Ruddy Witch are not Psychics instead. Akiza is a psychic so only makes sense that these cards would be too, especially when 5D's were heavily introducing the Psychic typing

Anyone have a good rose dragon list that doesn’t use Halq? I’ve been trying to build it in MD but I’m not a good enough combo deck-builder to do much lol. I’m hoping to eventually build a version where, going blind 2nd, you can summon BRD multiple times a turn to clear boards through 1-2 negates or even if they can recover from 1 wipe. From what I can tell, the available support just isn’t conducive to that
