They should retrain Frog the Jam as Frog anti support. Give him the most annoying, busted ability, but make it work only if a Frog is summoned. Something like: If a Frog monster is summoned to the field, you can special summon this card from the hand, and if you do banish all Frog monsters from the field, both hands and graveyards and place a counter on this card for every card banished this way. You can only control one Frog the Jam. If this card would leave the field by one of your opponent's cards effect or tribute, you can remove one counter from this card, and if you do destroy that card and this card cannot leave the field for the rest of the phase you activated this effect. As long as this card is face up on the field, Frog monsters cannot be summoned. If you control Frog the Jam and draw a card, reveal it to your opponent, if it's a Frog monster, you have to banish it face down. This card gains 200 atk and def for each banished Frog monster. The effects of this card cannot be negated.

For the Shark dude, "Hopu", which is the Japanise pronunciation of the English word "Hope" doesn't appear, but instead just the Japanese word for hope/wish. As of why they decides to translate "King of Wishes, Hope" as "Utopia", well, that word can also be used to indicate a wish that is impossible to come true, which is appropriate, and another one, is that it is shorter and sounds more like an actual name.

You know what is more fugged up? The Death Toys archetype are called Frightful in English instead of Des Toys.

That card can't search Toy Parade because Toy Parade is not treated as a Death Toy card in Japanese.

[@MrTopTenList]

[@ExplodingOdin]

though this would be the case looking at the transliterated names, a potential Frightfur searcher would not be able to search Toy Parade; in Japanese, the name of the archetype is デストーイ (de-su to-o-i) and Toy Parade is called トイ・パレード (to-i pa-re-e-do) it's only a one character difference, but it's enough to exclude it from a search, so its status is the same as in English

Some potential uses for Frog the Jam: Use Rescue Otter in conjunction with Traffic Ghost to special summon 3 Frog the Jams, and then you can go into either a Link Summon or Xyz Summon, or special summon a creature that can be special summoned with three tributes. You can use a similar tactic with Rescue Rabbit. You can also do something similar with Unexpected Dai or Double Summon. Alternatively, you can run exactly one copy of Frog the Jam just to throw your opponent off by why you would be running such a card.

Nice vid. A few thoughts: • What's really baffling is they somehow mistransliterated tornado into trunade when the card's Japanese name wasn't even torunedo, it was harikēn (hurricane) • What I always found the weirdest (besides Trunade) is that English cards often used Japanese words in their names when the original Japanese cards had English words in their names, as if the fact that the card used a foreign language was something they needed to preserve in translation. E.g. Hitotsu-Me Giant (jp for "one-eye") had as its original Japanese name "Saikuropusu" (cyclops, an English word). And Dokuroyaiba (jp for "skull blade") had Būmeran (boomerang) in its Japanese name. • Non-English western translations can get bad translations as a result of translating twice, first from jp, then from English. E.g. in both jp and English, Treeborn frog's name is a pun on a frog being revived. But, in all the other western languages, they took the wrong part of the English name and just called it tree frog, completely missing that the point is it being revived. • Picture of Toadally Awesome in real life: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%9F%BE%E8%9C%8D#/media/File:Bufo_bufo_couple_during_migration(2005).jpg And a few "well actually"s... 10:42 Why pronounce daemon as daimon? They probably ditched "demon" for archfiend because of it being satanic 17:17 Frog the jam had frog (kaeru) is in its name, but frog support only applies to "gaeru" cards. Both kaeru and gaeru mean frog, the k just sometimes becomes a g when there's another word in front of it. The jp word for toad is hikigaeru (the jp name of poison-draw frog). English yugioh just uses toad for kaeru cards to keep frog support from applying to them. 20:07 Okay I'm not falling for that bait

What's a talwar? - it's a type of sword. The RL version looks a lot like the swords our friend Beast of Talwar is holding

for frog the Jam,best i can think of is unexpected dai and maybe something something frogs

Rancher sounds like it was intended to be launcher but got mistranslated due to the Japanese R and L sounding identical.

Fun fact in italian axe of despaire is called "ascia di distruzione" that in english means "axe of destruction" i dont know what Konami did but they sure successfully failed translating that card. Also in the italian versione "hey! Turnade" was called "ritorno totale" that means "total return" after the change its now called "Ehi! ritorno" that CAN mean "ehi! i come back". I did not misspelled that wrong "hey" is written "ehi" and "ritorno" means "i come back" or "he/she/it come back" in the italian version. So our last versione is grammatically wrong.

[@GaussianEntity]

14:05 Oh my god, Konami did the whole desu meme first. Desu Also, Konami played the long con with Giant Trunade. They really wanted to make that Beatles reference with "Hey Tru(nade)."

14:36 I think Des Volstgalph is a name that came about due to Engrish because what the hell is a "Volstgalph"? XD Bad name aside, he's one of my favorite cards 0n0

Krebons is just “Clairvoyance” in japanese. It’s like saying clairvoyance while holding your tongue

I always thought "Des" was a foreign language translation of "The"; "The Koala", "The Kangaroo", "The Frog", etc.

[@BrandedRamses]

You're saying Daemon wrong. It's pronounced the same way demon is and is an older spelling of the word.

[@enigmaticnasser9335]

correct it's an English word derived from Latin

[@anonymousoff-brand7538]

and even when not said like demon, day-mon would still be better than die-mon.

[@hollowphobia]

It also explains why they used the term 'archfiend' a fiend is another term for a demonic or devilish creature, an archfiend is essentially a more powerful demon. So it basically saying it's the demon/daemon archtype without using the daemon word.

13:43 fun fact in French their name doesn't make sense because "des" in French means "the" or "of the" but in plural so for example Des Koala is named Koala Des but in French you can ask yourself "Koala des quoi?"(Koala of the what ?)

Next Yu-Gi-Oh countdown has to be the Top 10 Yu-Gi-Oh with weird Types. And I'm hoping that the number 1 will be a Three-Way Tie between Oppressed People, People Running About and United Resistance.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

In a weird way, I think their types actually DO make some sense. Oppressed People is aqua type, likely in reference to their blood, sweat and tears that they are being forced to endure in their current state. People Running About is pyro type because the chaos is spreading like a wildfire. As for United Resistance, it's a thunder type because that type is associated with electricity, and there is now a metaphorical friction occurring between the people who are fighting back against their oppressive ruler and the government that is trying to keep them under their heel (honestly, it's probably the weakest reasoning I have for that type, but it was the best I could come up with)

I ended up doing the Q&A answers in a few KZbin livestreams in 2019 since the original video announcement wasn't seen by many viewers, so we didn't get many questions. People found the livestreams to be a better way of me answering questions and getting their questions submitted live. If there is interest in a formal video, we could do something for it
