Top 10 Monsters With Evil Counterparts in YuGiOh

[@joshuaolsoncook]

If Yu-Gi-Oh has taught us anything is that dark doesn’t necessarily mean “evil.” Light, however, that’s something you’ve got to watch out for, especially if it has a notebook.

Everyone so far is wrong. It's Nizzahon Magic. Why? Nizzahon does Top 10 lists for Magic: The Gathering that are based primarily on the competitive performance of the cards on the "Best _____ Cards" lists and a mix of feels and how little they see play in the super casual Commander Format for the "Worst _____ Cards" lists. This is in stark comparison to Duel Logs who's "Best _______ Cards" lists seem to take flavour and feels into account half the time, and the "Worst ______ Cards" lists seem to be based primarily on how objectively terrible and unplayable a card is. Then again, saying a card in a TCG is objectively good or objectively bad is nigh on impossible, since there's sometimes gonna be this one weird meta that springs into existence where a card that, say, makes you discard your entire hand can be a good sideboard choice. (Yes, that really happened in MtG once. The card was called One with Nothing and no. It didn't do anything other than make you discard your hand, and yes, there was a deck that made it a viable sideboard tech choice.)

ACTUALLY Evilswam Exciton Knight was actually "evil in name only" and was actually an heroic version of Steelswarm Roach according to Duel Terminal Lore and the artwork of "Sacred Serpent's Wake". It even has an "even more heroic" counterpart in "Stellarknight Zefraxcition"

[@jakeblancaster8498]

Roach obviously didn't share the ideals that Tierra and the Steelswarms had for some reason, which is why Zefrath chose him to have 1 of the Zefra Gems.

[@MaestroAlvis]

As a fan of dual terminal, this is surprising me a lot. At what point would the corruption have happened? I dont think they were alive at the same time so that checks out. Didn't the infernoids only appear until after the shadolls appeared? Wasn't el shadoll construct made with shadoll core? EDIT apparently the lapis connection is made in master guide 5. And yugipedia doesn't actually say whats happening with Shadoll Construct in her artwork.

[@davidjimenez3822]

@@MaestroAlvis p sure Lapis became corrupted just because Master Diamond got corrupted (Cairngorgon is, indeed, Master Diamond) because Tierra was partially sealed within the Gem-Knights. Master Diamond even got a second corrupted form, El Shaddoll Grysta

[@jinezawa7089]

Lore-wise, Exciton Knight is actually a good guy that switched sides, as seen in Sacred Serpent's Wake. I think he's just an evilswarm bc the evilswarm monsters are the evolution of steelswarms. He ends up ascending later on and becomes Satellarknight Zefraxciton. It all goes a lot further than that, but if I start reading out all of the duel terminal lore, we'll be here all day Just know that steelswarms, evilswarms, cairngorgon, and shaddolls are all part of the same storyline and basically keep evoloving from each other in one way or another, hence why the good guy that betrayed the steelswarm is an "evilswarm"

Fun fact Log, Exicton Knight is the counterpart to that Steelswarm Knight because Exicton was a purified revival of the latter, along side others for the... Zefra archetype? I think? The Duel Terminal lore was that it was a combined effort of all in the Zefra to put a stop to the world from burning into nothing by another archetype that continued to use Lapis’ soul. I can’t remember that last archetype’s name, but after they were defeated, so finally ended the Duel Terminal’s history.

[@agitpolat1061]

Yes to Zefra, but that happened later, Exciton Knight was already a thing for a while in-universe at that point. As for the Archetype you can't remember, that was the Infernoids, under order (essentially) of "Tierra, Source of Destruction" as part of its plan to revive itself.

Cheating because of number 1. According to the card lore it is the ascended version of steelswarm roach just like gagagigo the risen. Still, good video.

[@L1nk2002]

Cairngorgon requires 82 lvl 4 monsters? Must be really good then.

[@mavenYGO]

Could you change the title to “Top 10 Evil counterparts to existing monsters” then do a “Top 10 monsters with evil counter parts.” That way you could explore cards like Honest, or a lightsworn; you know good cards that have evil counterparts

[@djblue056]

Do a top ten on most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh cards!

[@ReallyCooIName]

The newest one: Dis Honest(Dark Honest)

[@yubelious5584]

Here too? Insert obligatory "Disarmed Dragon" reply here.

[@lucasleiva8215]

Man, i love you. You revived my interest in ygo even if i don't play anymore.

[@wyomingptt]

"i"-swarm monsters???? Really? Are they part of the Evii-swarm and Steei-swarm archetypes lol?

Nice video mate. If you would do a part 2 that would be insanely good !

I would love to see the yugioh cards as characters in their own stories and their own multiuniverse

A mention to High Priestess of Prophecy! I play spellbook in Duel Links and she's one of my favourite cards ever

As an mtg player, the history of yugioh's meta is a unique and interesting topic to learn about. It's interesting to see the end results of small design decision differences between the two games. Yugioh is an amazing game

[@quatelquandor4803]

I got so bored of seeing everyone play construct from 2015-17😭

[@strawberrycollector]

I had a few funny Yugioh shower thoughts even though I haven't played since early GX era. I blame your videos, so I'm gonna share them here. Funny things to do at a Yugioh tournament: 1. Play vanilla monsters like their flavor text is actually an effect. For example, Flying Fish can instantly win the duel if you summon it because it grants three wishes and you can just wish to win the duel. 2. Dress up as Yugi, Kaiba, etc. and play an appropriate deck. 3. Use miniatures to represent your monsters and throw them at your opponent when you attack directly. 4. While looking for examples for 3, I discovered a rather sizable Exodia toy that has a spring loaded fireball launcher. So like, play an Exodia deck and shoot the fireball at your opponent when you get all five pieces. Also, you have to shout "EXODIA! OBLITERATE!" 5. When you sit down for your first match, just pull out a totally different card game. 6. Dye your hair green, carry a stack of $20s, and blatantly break rules. When called out, say "Screw the rules! I have money!" and show off your $20s or say "Screw the rules! I have green hair!"

Eh, Exciton Knight is actually the good version of Steelswarm Roach - he was evil but he switched the side during the world war. He's even a part of the Zefra gang which are the main heroes of the war against Tierra. About Evilswarm, there are 2 "good" characters so the archetype are not entirely evil. One is Exciton Knight, another one is Evilswarm Keyrkeion.

[@theaverageDon]

Surprisingly, I learned quite a bit from this video. Who knew El Shaddoll Construct has a counterpart?

Not supposed to be in a video about dark/evil counterparts.

Unrelated but I always wondered the music used for TheDuelLogs videos. It's always so calming and catchy lol

Dude now I'm hooked looking for counterparts to all the Evilswarm monsters

[@agitpolat1061]

I believe the Wiki-Entry for Evilswarms on a whole should have a list of which ESwarm corresponds to which Monster.

[@Gaiadarko]

@@agitpolat1061 It does, thank you
