Top Ten Weirdest Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Retrains

[@Creepy___]

One funny thing about Tardy Orc lore is that the set before GAOV was called Order of Chaos or ORCS for short, despite that name there wasnt a single Orc card in it, so one set later we got the Tardy Orc as the "punchline" to that Konami meta joke

[@emanuelmartinez7267]

I swear for all the shit Konami gets you gotta love that they constantly make meta jokes and puns sometimes at their own expense. So many card games take themselves way too serious so its a nice change if pace

Someone in the Yu-Gi-Oh! creative department has a weird fascination with Gyakutenno Megami and made Daigyakutenno Megami an extremely awkward signature card of Yuo Goha in Yu-Gi-Oh SEVENS that he literally just tosses onto the field so it can get blown up and then immediately switch to his Fusion cards. The card is so random in Yuo's deck standing with his creepy circus-themed monsters that it looks visibly confused every time he summons it.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

the weirdest part was that it is featured in the 2° opening almost to the point of making her look like Yuou's ace monster.... even though it isn't even needed for his fusion summons. and as far as we know, is only in his deck because, he considers her his favorite card

[@nehuenmutiozabal6339]

Dude Goddess of sweet revenge looks like a card someone would put on his salad of a deck just to use it in the last minute to win the game And I wouldn't even be mad at it, that's amazing

The biggest thing that bugs me with the Mystical Elf retrain is that: You can't give Attack Points! The cancel effect is okay and the summon effect during the battle phase is good with a large beat stick Normal Monster but why not allow her to transfer or buff the monster that she summons?!

[@petertilton7004]

The worse thing about her is her rebirth in Rush Duels. You have her normal self which is now classified as Legend, so you can only have 1 copy of this card and then there's her weird Japanese disco self which is reclassed as Aqua-type and has 0 defense. What was they thinking man?

[@alexryu2632]

@@petertilton7004 The disco ones are Aqua-types because they're a big reference to the "Bubble Era" of the Japanese economy in the 80's (The character who plays them is older than she looks, so her deck is themed around a sort of "Lost glory days of youth" for the first go-around), with the 0 defense being a joke about the eventual collapse of that bubble, and the partying lifestyles of people at the time, particularly the life and troubles of a Japanese office lady at the time Notably, these themes are kept even when she switches to Dark instead of Light (Commentary on crime/prison conditions at the time), and when she switches to Fire/Water (Focused on the types of cooking that were popular at the time, particularly new foods from abroad especially), all focused on 0 defense Aqua versions of older cards in general to keep up the "Bursting of the Bubble Era" theming

"Yugi's deck" It was Solomon Muto's deck originally that was handed to Yugi. That, and even the statement at the end of that duel. Also, Duelist Kingdom in on Netflix. Seiyaryu was also in the old McD's happy meals that had a couple sets of Yugioh cards in it. As well as Gyakutenno Magami.

8:12 I mean the card art storyline that Tardy Orc's art is a part of is one big meta joke. They even added onto it when Sangan got unbanned (with Mistake (which also explains why Tardy Orc was late to Tour Bus to the Underworld, he was at the wrong stop while Sangan got on the wrong bus), Shared Ride, Mistaken Arrest and Mistaken Accusation) as Sangan getting banned was part of the story (Tour Bus To Forbidden Realms).

[@giboit.]

Hey, this is kinda unrelated and I recently found your channel so I wanted to ask. Would you consider making a list about the most interesting "locations" in yugi-oh cards? There are many places that are referenced in the backstories of multiple cards due to the events that happen in them and things like that, so I think that may be a fun video. Also, I don´t know if the alien archetype has some kind of backstory (but I think they do) it would be cool to see it in one video if it does have one.

I had a pleasure watching this, MrTopTenList. :) I find it awesome that Megami got a retrain just to reference one of Kaiba’s most iconic (and censored) moments and she happens to be the card that he used and it has nothing to do with dueling.

Another bit of trivia on Gyakuteno Megami, she is featured in the Trap "Aegis of Gaia".

[@thugsfunny7594]

"Dark Blade" Is actually the alternate form of "Dragon Manipulator" Who was as his name states a manipulator of dragons, but in the end he became an underated and totally forgotten ally to the very famous and overrated "Warrior Dai Grepher"

[@thugsfunny7594]

Last I heard "Warrior Dai Grepher" sacrifices himself just to beat "Despair From The Dark" that's depicted on the card "Expendable Dai" which was all in vain because "Despair From The Dark" being a zombie respawns right back for "Freed The Brave Wanderer" & "Marauding Captain" to finally kill.

I don't know why I always remember Seiaryu.

Probably wouldn't be, but I had it on DVD as a kid and so I watched it a lot. Same with the Kaiba Corp Grand Championship arc.

Its weird how close they were to mentioning the reference in "Giltia the D. Knight - Soul Spear" first effect. The effect is "If you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. ." This effect references how Joey tried to summon the original without tributes during the Espa Roba duel and was told he couldn't summon the original. So, with the refrain's first effect, Joey can now summon it with tributes. Suck it, Espa Roba and Rex. LIke they mentioned the scene in question as one of the hosts' favorite scene with the original but they didnt mentioned that the first effect of the refrain literally references that scene.

[@DarkhalfBreed]

I also think Megami was also a favorite of Takahashi, which is why she was part of the anniversary pack with dmg, Red eyes, Buster blader, Blue eyes, and Jinzo

[@gooblaka]

Since some cards get retrains that would be versions of themselves prior to their original, such as with Legacy Hunter, maybe we should call them pretrains
