Top Ten Weirdest Yu-Gi-Oh Ritual Monsters

Early Yu-Gi-Oh designs are fun. Some are cool and some of goofy, and we love them all here. However, we enjoy to see how absurd they could get when the card game was starting out. One type of Monster Card that raises some eyebrows nowadays are the classic ritual monsters. They’ve improved ritual cards today with all the support and just making the spells and monsters more viable, but the original rituals were standard beatsticks that just had extra steps to summon, essentially. We’ll judge the weirdest of those classic rituals based on the design, spell cards, and anime appearances if applicable. I’m joined by Judgment Meter and NegetiveX in this video. The “why would you wish for that” clip is from friend of the channel Corgian’s Twtich stream.

Funny thing abour fortress whale, Mako said it was his most powerful card, but during the duel he played amphibian beast which is stronger in stats and requires no ritual

[@Merilirem]

ACTUALLY the total stats of Fortress Whale are higher. So Mako was clearly just talking about total stats.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

Merilirem The thing about Yugioh, especially early Yugioh, is that a lot of emphasis is placed on total stats. But this isn't Pokemon, and usually only one stat even matters at a time. So I never got why total stats were what some cards were balanced around. An 1800 beatstick with 1500 DEF points is worse than a 1900 beatstick with 200 DEF points 99% of the time.

Weird? Yes, without a doubt. But it's also one of those quirky monsters that sticks in your memory for just how bizarre it is; and while it was mentioned that there are other food related cards, there weren't that many in the game back when Hungry Burger was first released.

[@leojamesquiambao1047]

ok, actually admittedly three of the cards here have pretty interesting explanations. - Hungry Burger being a warrior seems to be a bit of a joke. See, warriors are classified since they can fight, and our burger here "fights hunger" - Skull Guardian being summoned by "Novox's Prayer" make sense since its lore is that it's a guardian that prevents cheating. The blue-haired girl in the ritual isn't the Guardian, she's a girl praying for him - Chakra and its ritual doesnt make sense at first glance, until you realize the ritual spell shows a woman being offered to summon Chakra

[@DisneyWizardYensid]

Actually what happened, and the dub kind of flubbed this: Fortress Whale is actually Mako’s rarest monster. So Mako gave him THAT per the rules of the tournament, but then gave him The Legendary Fisherman, because it was an honorable duel. That’s why he didn’t hand over the ritual spell.

[@antg2183]

@@MrTopTenList If you want, here's, what I think would be 10 good choices. 10. Impachi. A Machine Type Monster that looks like it would better fit the Plant Type Monsters. 9. The Magnet Warriors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and their combined form. All of them are Rock Types, but considering that they're based on magnets, wouldn't it make more sense if they were either Machine, or Thunder Type? 8. Pyramid Turtle. While I do understand why it's a Zombie Type, as it's effect is tie in with any Zombie with 2000 DEF or less, the thing is, is that more Turtle-Themed monsters are typically Reptile or Aqua. Obviously, since it's a turtle with a pyramid for a shell, it can't be Aqua Type. 7. Dark Witch and Dunames Dark Witch. I pitted both of them together, primarily because they're Fairy Types, when understand normal circumstances, witches commonly fall under the Spellcaster category. 6. Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress #2. It looks like a Dragon, has a blue various that is a Dragon, and has the word Dragon in its name, but for some reason is a Winged Beast monster. 5. Crawling Dragon #2. It looks like a Dragon, has a counterpart that is a Dragon, and had the word Dragon in its name, but instead it's a Dinosaur. (I feel like I repeated myself.) 4. The Occult/Undead Fiend monsters, the ones that Bakura uses, Headless Knight, Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams, Portrait's Secret, and a few others. All these monsters clearly should be Zombie Types, but all of them are Fiend Types. 3. Hungry Burger. A sentient hamburger that's a Warrior Type, for some reason. Personally, it think it's best suited as a Fiend Type. 2. Skull Knight. A Spellcaster, that looks nothing like a Spellcaster, and is a Fusion Monster that requires 2 Fiend Types, IE Ancient Brain and Tainted Wisdom, so why isn't it a Fiend Type? But if it couldn't be a Fiend Type, then I could also see him as a Warrior Type, or, maybe a Zombie Type. 1. A three-way tie between Oppressed People, People Running About and United Resistance. Oppressed People Is an Aqua Type, for some reason. People Running About is Pyro Type, for some reason. And United Resistance is a Thunder Type for some reason. And unlike the previous 9 where I could at think of an alternate type for, these three I can't think of anything.

Gate Guardian should've just been a ritual summon. Wouldve given a lot more flexibility

[@LegitMan335]

Only in Yugioh Duelist of the Roses. The Gate Guardian Ritual

[@Aloyus_Knight]

Tack on a few basic effects like "this card can't be targeted or destroyed by card effects" or battle piercing damage or whatever & it would of been viable.

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

@@Aloyus_Knight I miss this game a lot but it's just like... maybe they would have more interest if cards didn't read like literal and figurative fine print. Keywords. Duel Links. The game may be fun if they could condense. My comment here is the length of a card text. Here goes: I think the way they set up card text is what is driving people away from the game. I grew up with YGO and loved the game. Maybe 2005-2010, then I tried MTG. I eventually settled on Duel Links but found it to be way too pricey for a game made by a company known for making some surprising decisions. Imagine Duel Links 2 and Konami's executives decide it's fine to instantly make Duel Links an obsolete service with realized losses. If a Duel Links deck costs hundreds of dollars, there's an issue with them creating a paywall meta. There were always viable cheap options you could buy a set to get some kind of competitive list together. I ran Desperado for a while, Ancient Gears, Triamids, that one f2p control archetype uhh... Garden Fairy deck? Getting a little financial about it but they make really fun digital CCG it's just that they are very hesitant to change. The entire concept Konami had for a condensed version of the game was not sound because the unintended side effect is that you have to learn to read paragraphs as long as this comment to understand a card, but then you forget about a conditional modifier to the effect or something and you mess up your turn order or blunder the game. That's just stressful. Is it a casual game or are we metadecking like Konami is steering the player base with their incremental power creep (not bad by itself) but then the whole casual aspect starts to disappear yet KoG is pretty easy compared to the top ranks of the competitors. Like the ladder alone is not great, and Konami is basically resting their marketing team and letting DKayed (mainly him but also content creators) run like unofficially official tournaments? It's one way to get the community involved but as a business, they're putting their trust in the life decisions of one person - maybe his priorities change. As I understand they have a relationship but it's just so unusual and risky for a company that is also very slow to change. Why is their app so poorly programmed? Their website is... yeah. It's like a time machine back to 2003 internet. I think keywords + re-release of "remastered" old sets. Maybe it would bring back the nostalgic fans to the TCG shops to play the game. I miss it a lot. Hope the rant about the state of the franchise as a whole is well taken. I don't have nostalgia goggles but I think they're just running their businesses in ways that don't make sense. ^Now read that every time a new card hits the table. And remember it and all its conditions. This game reminds me of law school prep. for that one simple but critical flaw. Not with the game but the way they present the information. Konami pls fix

[@TheaArtsFox]

yes, mostly the reason why they have "alt versions/counterparts" is to fill space and add extra character and variety recycling models... XD just like in Digimon videogames and or Yokai Watch, mario bros clouds, castlevania, Final Fantasy and so... A classic videogame thing, they had to be resourceful wih limited memory.

Hungry Burger is simply a mimic. Mimics are kind of odd in general, but in that context it makes complete sense. Same class of fantasy beings that have provided us with living Pokeball Voltorb/Electrode

[@ErgoZenkage]

Oh wow never expected number 1 but i love it since i really like Elemental Mistress Doriado i made a deck to turbo her out and use Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan and it wasnt bad it failed to apply much pressure so even when i used Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan sometimes multiple times it was hard to close out games so they had a good chance of coming back. Anyways loved the video, in the beginning when negetive x says im still here the way he said it was so good every time i play it i cant help but laugh, just wanted to mention that.

[@lordrabbit7713]

Well time to watch toradora after this.

[@pedroachinelli5431]

I will search for Google all about Doraido. Fu-Ri-ka-zen was literally made for her. And ironically is the second best ritual for five God dragon ritual version.

[@logans.7932]

This video is inspiring me to make a theoretical archetype called "Ritual Revenge" or something similar. Like the monsters are all super buffed versions of these old school ones, and the spells and traps reference the ritual performers. My personal favorite one I came up with would be "Dokurorider Forever", that or "Hungry Burger Deluxe". Support Monsters would be the beings behind the ritual spells like "Garma Knights" and "Super War Hound". Spells would have to do with accelerating ritual monsters out onto the field with cards like "Nightmare Kitchen", or "Novox's Anguish". Traps could be stalling-based, like "Mant Mantle" having Swords of Revealing-Light type of ability and "Mirror On The Wall" having search power. Also, for that #1, Duel Links taught me this jank ass strat back in the day: There's a trap card called "Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan" or something, that when activated can activate one of many busted effects. Draw 2 cards, halve your opponents life points, you got to pick. The catch is that it can't be activated unless you have a Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind monster on the field at the same time.

16:28 Years later, Skull Guardian would get a new Ritual Monster, a new Ritual Spell, and new titles that read "The Voiceless Voice". The new monster would be called "Skull Guardian, Protector of the Voiceless Voice", and the Ritual Spell would be called "Prayers of the Voiceless Voice", as well as the girl in the artwork getting her own card, called "Lo, the Prayers of the Voiceless Voice". It seems also that it has ties with Saffira and Sauravis, who previously had Ritual Monsters of their Dragon form, and with the Voiceless Voice cards, they are in their Human Form. The plot certainly thickens, but it's still unclear as to who the enemy is and why Skull Guardian is being summoned by Lo, nor the role Saffira and Sauravis play

[@boundzy4614]

2 years later and hungry burger gets support lol

[@shadowhydramk2175]

Probably already been told this but "skull guardian" is mistranslated his name in japan is "law guardian". the wiki also says he is an enforcer for justice. Im going to guess that the guy who translated the name thought he looked like a villian to duel spirit police officer Apologizes for wasting your time

[@Mike_Ka-Chowski]

I kinda wished that Hungry Burger was released later in the Gx era or got a retrained called Lucious Grilled Cheese as a nod to Chumley working for Pegasus.

[@carlallen6073]

Turtle oath contains a Dragonball nod. The Turtle school practices wearing a large turtle shell to increase physical strength

[@carlallen6073]

The card art features a turtle shell prepared to be worn

[@LegitMan335]

I can just watch these over and over . I get sucked in the “lore”

[@IamJerf]

As a fan of Doriado it always makes me think if she ever has any relations to the Charmer archetype, my most favorite archetype of all, and we could possibly see another retrain of her, maybe a link form, that connects her to them with this type of effect since she works around every element minus Dark.

[@f1r3hunt3rz5]

Doriado is said to be the mentor of the Charmer girls, and she herself wields the Dark (and presumably also Light in the lore) attributes

[@josephlopez132]

For Novax’s prayer maybe they r showing what the ritual looked like to summon skull guardian

Maybe the guardian is for the prayer so she can make her work.

It is my current headcanon that Mako probably intended to WREAK Joey in the finals using a Monster stealing card and just summoning the whale himself.

Zera in the italian version of the card is named “Zera la Manta” where Manta means “manta Ray” the fish... but it still makes no sense. I guess it has a color scheme similar to a manta ray...
