Top 10 Saddest Yu-Gi-Oh Card Deaths

@@sebarsht12 It wouldn't, even if it was something like a Lv3 that searched a ritual spell when summoned and could special itself from GY by foolishing a Vendread for cost on top of a Djinn effect the rest of the deck is so mid and has enough random minor downsides it wouldn't even be rogue. Nekroz literally has a Djinn as a handtrap that also searches when their turn starts and it's not only legal but nekroz isn't even rogue.

Outstanding Dog Marron waiting for its owners for an insanely long time might be a sort of reference to the story of Hachiko, a dog who would run off to sit and wait for its owner outside Shibuya Station day after day. One day, the owner died from a heart attack while at work, but Hachiko had no way of knowing its owner would never come home from work, so it just went to sit there, with random people passing by giving it food and water, so it would survive. Eventually, Hachiko passed away, while waiting for its owner to come home, and a statue was erected outside Shibuya Station, in the spot where Hachiko would sit day after day.

I have a soft spot for Destruction Sword since it was my second Duel Links deck, and the first deck I made with full understanding of how Yugioh deck-building worked.

Love to see Buster Blader's story so high. Would love to see more support for him in the future.

[@StrawHatNick56]

The numbers Ichi and Hachi which are 1 and 8 respectively in Japanese, is a form of goroawase, which is basically a pun involving numbers, since 1-8 can be read as i-hachi. This is very likely why Inpachi has those numbers on his chest. Furthermore the Katakana for the word imp is インプ which is pronounced "Inpu", which makes sense since Inpachi is possessed by an Imp. So his name is a play on the word imp, and the numbers ichi and hachi.

[@enlongjones2394]

What’s the pun’s meaning?

[@StrawHatNick56]

@@enlongjones2394 His name is Inpachi. 1 8 can be read as i-hachi, which sounds a lot like Inpachi.

That it can fit itself to Joey cards like Gearfried and Baby Dragon, take on metallic properties, undead properties, and so on sets it apart from DM and BEWD with their breadcrumb legacies, much like Felgrand in this video. Red-Eyes can very well be an adaptive and widespread being that suits Joey using cards from previous foes including Red-Eyes. He’s been mind-controlled and even worn armor like Red-Eyes. The Hermos stuff too is highly flexible weaponry, just kinda fully cementing Joey as a wildcard bag of tricks guy compared to other power players with a more linear or focused narrative and support lineup.

Ultimately put down by fellow Aces Raye and Roze, who do genuinely feel that their deaths are tragedies simply because they were all born in wartime and had no choice.

I'd argue that if you want to include a death from the DT world, Natalia is a better candidate than Trishula. While yes, Trishula is a horrendous thing to be corrupted for the Terminal World at large, on a story scale Natalia's is bigger.

Seeing a lot of zombie monsters I use on this list. The Mayakashi and Golden Land monsters might also be worth a look in the future. The Mayakashi were woodland spirits who became enraged when humans chopped down their forest to build their village, the Mayakashi would take their revenge during the night by attacking the villagers. In response, the Shiranui monsters would step forward to defeat countless Mayakashi during the night with their special techniques, in the end leaving only Yoko and Yuki-Onna as the last standing Mayakashi. The Golden Land monsters were formerly alchemists in the search for the greatest artifact of all alchemy, the philosopher's stone. The had managed to develop a ritual that in theory could create the philosopher's stone, but as seen during the Eldlixer cards, the ritual was flawed. The newly formed philosopher's stone had its power run rampant through the Eldlands, everything the light touched began turning into gold while the people would lose their minds and souls, becoming zombified golden husks, later to be enslaved by Eldlich the Golden Lord into his immortal army once he marched into the Cursed Eldlands and claimed their philosopher stone for himself.

@@Deathmare235 She is, but read hers and Dragon Horn Hunter's card text. There are some lore about her on youtube too.

[@7renovato]

Really love watching some good YGO lore

[@loxul2239]

The World Legacy story is so cool! Reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles. I'd play an RPG game of that Yugioh Lore Story.

[@greenlink445]

you should have put ojama blue on this list, not because his death in battle is sad, far from it actually, but he brings out 2 more ojama cards which is infinitely worse

Didn't expect the intro of a top 10 cards in a children's card game video to hit so hard

[@toekneemart5597]

Might be because I cry easier when I'm sick but buster whelp absolutely got me and I couldn't stop the tears for the rest of the video This was a very good video I'm going to go cry in a corner now

[@TheaArtsFox]

i always have been loving the storytelling of some cards, even taken by different artists collectively. is amazing and interesting because most of the lore is implicit in the card art, and is often up to viewer to know what is happening.

[@Laguzrick]

A new lore related video? Yes please!

[@TheGachaGourmand]

I recall at one point that Avram's fate was left uncertain following the depiction of a certain card, so I assumed that Avram may have died at the time? Although whether its true that Avram died has yet to be determined, at least for me.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

8:32 I am pretty sure it is worse the whole "his family survived, but forgot about him / moved on from him". 13:43 Marron has an alternate route. one where it becomes a demon dog 18:23 YES! it made it into the list 19:35 Probably, what could made this tragic, is the implication that, Buster Dragon's effect still try to benefit Buster Blader (by spreading a dragon virus unto others and turn them into dragons). Which could mean that Whelp went insane, and yet, in its twister mind, still tries to follows its master's commands (which would mean Blader still raised it into a monster) 22:59 Funny enough, Ib's resurrection leads to the, arguably more tragic, deaths of Orcust Galatea (who gave everything, for the sake of Ningirsu), and well, Ningirsu himself . Funny enough, both would be resurrected as guardians of the new world Avram and Ib helped create

[@enlongjones2394]

It’s happy to see that Galatea got to live on, as the fairy accompanying Girsu.

[@r3zaful]

Galatea is essentially just an infant when she died lmao

[@bigbadmrwolfey]

There’s also Mecha-Dog Marron too. But it’s hard to say if that’s a path for the actual dog or just something like a robot made in in his likeness

Worthless world

[@adamcartrette4037]

Now you have to do one for tragic Magic the Gathering deaths.

13:47 Alexa, play 'The Furious 7 soundtrack'

[@CB-L]

This is an unexpected and welcome topic to watch through

[@kaisim980]

I saw that vin diesel, well played

[@BlwnX29]

World legacy and its continuation can become its own movie

[@Orthane]

I would love to see some of these stories make it into a mini-story anime that delves into the lore of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

[@Napsta_13]

It'd be neat to see a "storyteller" or "lore" format with cards that have expanded lore outside of the card game, giving people themed decks, with them being tales of sorrow, or of stories of glee no idea how it would work but it'd be neat

[@BDT17]

No shot you excluded Iris Swordsoul from this list.

[@crookedandre98]

the one who sliced Inpachi was Marauder Captain, not Freed

[@nolan4960]

i had no idea yugioh cards had lore like this, that’s soooooo cool
