Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Card Backstories (Vol. 2)

Konami has finally given official word on the transition from Lightsworn to Twilightsworn. Twilightsworn are the Lightsworn cards, but for when they need to specifically destroy evil, rather than protect good.

[@nick0197]

I also like the name Twilight, meaning that they are still bound to the light, but using dark elements.

[@TMXFroZeN]

The most epic shit is when two seperate backstories that you thought had nothing to do with each other suddenly collide in one single card artwork. It’s mind blowing and makes you rethink over a ton of things. Truely epic.

I’m sure Konami doesn’t even think of a Female Character, or a Character that isn’t Hetero, but you know what else we sadly Never get?! A Non-Human Protagonist would actually be possible! I wish someone would Create a Completly New Kind of Yugioh Anime: About the Multiverse that seems to be the Realm of Shadows, or i don’t know what. My point is, that the over 10000 Cards that Exist tell Entire Stories and show Entire Species and/or Contain Entire World-Buildings! I refrain from Listing Things, just think something up yourself, there are Hundreds - mostly it’s the Arche-Types! I actually wish even Effect-Monsters had these Card Texts that Normal Monsters Have - surely not on the Card (not enough Space there) but on an Official Internet Site! I want to know more about so many Monsters, and from what i can just see about some Arche-Types, i really want to see their Story Animated!! I really want to know if anyone agrees to this, and also if I’m the First to have this Idea of a Non-Human Protagonist (maybe Performapal?) who travels an Extremly Diverse Multiverse. I would love to see an Anime basically about the Backstorys of Monsters.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

what a shame. they could even feature things similar to that filler arc in yugioh when the characters first went into the digital world (not that one) against the five headed dragon. also they could feature monsters who are "normal citizens" seeing how the clans of the dark and blue eye magicians fight, the HEROES saving people, or other things

[@timoyr2954]

Ian R. Nava Huber GX actually has quite a lot of that. The "worlds" they visit include Gravekeepers and Dark Worlds. They duel and interract with the monsters there. There's also a duel against Jinzo and probably a lot I've forgotten. A series just one the lore would be cool though. I remember how pumped I was when Joey told the backstory of Gearfreed in DM.

[@regretgames5580]

AGREED

[@Slayerthecrow]

Yugioh always had Pokemon level potential for spin off games, remember pokemon mystery dungeon or pokemon conquest. Yeah, I think they could make several kind of games under the licence of yugioh, like JRPG, fighting games or even race games (after all, they released an archetype based on cars)

[@Next-xm2dh]

[@keeperofthetriforce7]

false bound kingdom there's your spinoff

[@darkdeitybrandon3127]

I'm surprised they hadn't try that yet, might be because the original Yugioh game spinoffs didn't sell that well. Dual links does count as a spin off tho, and that did just reach over 65 million downloads very recently.

[@TheKpa11]

I do agree probably because Yugioh does take from just about everything Including RPG characters themselves

[@MrCJBubba]

King of the skull servant's family is probably my favorite group of monsters and I am glad that he was able to give marron a loving home... even if he gets humiliated. I love the idea that out of almost every king in the lore he seems to be the strongest and the most benevolent. Due to the fact that he is obviously a family man and has the complete loyalty of his subjects also he literally gets power from the love for his family and a sizeable chunk of power at that. I kinda want to see a skull marron retrain that renames him to "Wight Dog Marron" giving him the usual skull servant effect of being treated as one in the grave with the ability to special summon a wightprincess from the hand or deck which would synergize well with the archetype and further the Marron lore

[@YGOrochi]

Yes, Buster Blader DOES have to kill his own dragon, as the Whelp grew and fought more and more in battle it became more of a game to the little dragon who then began to enjoy the hunt and slaughter (thus allowing the darkness in his heart to prosper) eventually the little Whelp grew too dark and began attacking ANYTHING it wanted without reason which is why, unfortunately Buster Blader had to destroy him (seen in the Destruction Sword Fusion artwork) and through his grief and absorbing the soul of his pet dragon, becomes Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman. I love that lore so damn much.

I always thought Zera the Mant was just the corrupted soul of Tri Horned Dragon. -They were released around the same time -appear to be striking roughly the same pose -they have the same color -although the card art is vague, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say they’re close in size - same level -basically the same stats -Tri Horner Dragon is considered an “unworthy” dragon, so maybe it sold its soul to become a fiend. Could be that Warrior of Zera and THD combined their souls to become Zera the Mant, or maybe the dragon was just a husk for the Mant to inhabit, but it’s something I always considered.

[@Hung_Nguyen_90]

Ah Tri Horned Dragon. The perfect dragon I used when I didn't got Blue eye yet in Yugioh Power of Chaos. But I don't think they related. The pose look diffirent enough.

[@Toby-Wan_Kenobi]

Six samurai deserves it's own full video. It's a surprisingly deep story

[@romkin1197]

I'd like to think that Warrior of Zera sat on the chair to over see the ritual that would bring forth Zera the Mant. From there he slain the beast turning his head into a sword somehow. Then seeks out Sanctuary in the Sky slaying demons along the way becoming an Archlord. Then "God" sent him onto a mission to Pandemonium where he was corrupted eventually into his Darklord version returning to Sanctuary in the Sky destroying it.

[@YugiohMaster1987]

Rom Kin Warrior of Zera had 1 of 3 paths to choose from. Either follow the path of the Archlords, or allow the fiends that torment him to finally consume him, or preform a forbidden ritual. His sword his a possessed sword, btw. *Choosing the path of the fiends path with Pandemonium he becomes Mezra (zera spelling is introverted) Da Ville (Devil). *Choosing the ritual, he sacrifices allies from along the way to fulfill the ritual and becomes one with the spirit forged in his weapon (mirror image of the Lych King from Warcraft) *Follows the path of the Archlords and is turned into Zeradias, once saving The Sanctuary in the Sky he is promoted to "Archlord" Zerato, Along with Archlord Krystia as being the 2 highest ranking angels if the sanctuary and heaven. Darklord Zerato, is the Archlords fallen angrl form. As you see the sanctuary in the sky destroyed and in ruins in the background. His reasons for "falling" are unknown, but still holds his "Lord" title, fairy/angel type and is reasonably more powerful.

Who is God in that universe ? Divine beasts ? Master Hyperion ?

Shien was considered a fire demon as he did not age which explains why tenkabito shien is a Pyro type and Fire attribute

[@MrMarinus18]

Oda Nobunaga was trapped in a castle though and died. It was one of his generals Hidoyoshi toyotomi who would carry on his legacy and eventually unify Japan. When he died his heir was still only 4 years old and so the adult Togokawa Hideyasu who had served alongside Hidoyoshi under Oda took the throne for himself. Unlike Hidoyoshi though when Togokawa abdicated the throne after securing it and gave it to his son. He died 10 years after abdicating and since his son had been ruling for a decade his rule was not contested. The Togokawa dynasty would rule Japan for the next 300 years until Japan was rocked to the core by the Americans forcing them to open up to the outside world.

@@Wiseman108 Yeah I actually think so. We know there's several dimensions in the cards. I also figure they might be various afterlifes and stuff. Burning Abyss is more a Christian Hell. I think Pandemonium is more of a "higher hell", specifically for the archfiends. Or just another type of hell. Zombie world is probably more just a diseased land where everyone who dies becomes a zombie. Dark World's not really hell, just more like Detroit. Not a place you want to be.

I don’t know if you’re going to do a third video, but the story of El Shaddoll Winda is my favorite. In the Naturia world, Winda got her start as a priestess of the Gusto, peaceful monsters that were partners of the Ritual Beast tamers. After the death of Sophia, Goddess of Creation, and the subsequent defeat of the Evilswarm invasion, something sinister began to emerge from the shadows in the Naturia. Monsters of all kinds began disappearing, including Pulao, a Yang Zing dragon Winda was attempting to tame. After a battle with his shadow double, Pulao was corrupted and turned into a Shaddoll Squamata. Winda, unaware of his transformation, sought him out, but was captured by the Shaddolls and brought to El Shaddoll Construct, the source of this terrible power. As the first non-animal being captured by the Shaddolls, Construct bathed Winda with her powers, turning her into a puppet and making her essentially into a herald. She was reunited with Pulao and set off to find other suitable beings for Construct to turn into puppets. Now as the second most powerful Shaddoll, Winda made contact with a veteran of the Evilswarm war, Cairngorgon, the Antiluminescent Knight. After his corruption from the Gem Knights fusing over and over, Winda easily brought him back to Construct, who then corrupted him further into El Shaddoll Grysta. However, Winda wound up making a terrible mistake as she then sought out Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree. In her fight with Leo, she unwittingly damaged the Naturia Sacred Tree and woke the Qliphorts. With them waking, she failed to capture Leo and fled back to Construct, where she became a big part of the war against the Qli. At some point, Grysta was slain and the Qli acquired the Gem Knight powers, which allowed them to summon the Infernoids to purge the Shaddoll infestation (the Qliphorts were losing pretty bad). One Infernoid, Decatron, captured Winda as he fought his way to Construct, where she was placed in a glowing tube on his body. After the climactic battle, Decatron’s head broke off and escaped as his body was assimilated into Construct, where he returned to the Sacred Tree. Broken and dying, what remained of Decatron stayed out of the Zefra war with his master, Tierra, and finally crashed and died at the base of the Sacred Tree. The Zefra came to Decatron’s head to search for survivors, and were surprised to find that within the tube atop his head, Winda, purged of the Shaddoll corruption, was in there. Now back to normal, Winda set herself to becoming a Spiritual Beast Tamer, but her art on that card hints that perhaps she isn’t fully back, as she wears similar clothes to her El Shaddoll counterpart and seems to be a little less sure of herself. I know it’s long, but Winda was a key figure in the Duel Terminal and has my favorite story in the whole game (second to Decatron or Qliphort Genius). Thank you for the awesome video!

the story in the Hidden Arsenal / Duel Terminal series is my personal favorite. Shame it didn't appear in either video. There are basically 3 world wars and some matrix shenanigans at play there. Winda is a part of that. Heck, the World Legacy may just be a 4th generation in the same Duel Terminal world for all we know so far.

World Legacy should only be tackled after the whole story is told and as far as we know there are 3 more World Legacies to be revealed in the sets after Flames of Destruction

We've got the Crawlers, the "Legacy" monsters, spells, and traps, and we've got the Mekk-Knights. Are you saying there's gonna be three more Sub-Archetypes being added to it?

[@ethanredding9977]

Maybe....so far each Set had exactly 1 "World Legacy"-monster with an appropriate archetype. Chalice and its heroes Armor and the Krawlers Shield and the Mekk-Knights Spear and the Troymares (even though the Troymares are just corrupted Mekk-Knights) What the future will bring is pretty uncertain, as only 2 support cards for older archetypes (1 for Mekk-Knights and 1 for Krawlers) for the theme are revealed so far for Cybernetic Horizon.

[@vidmanandrew09]

Haven't heard of the Troymares. World Legacy Bubble Shield... the mages seen in the top corner of that card; are those the Troymares? It seems like to me that if these Troymares are corrupted Mekk-Knights, then the other three archetypes are gonna team up to fight them, if one of the Krawler trap cards is any indication. That's gonna be one hell of a deck to build if one is trying to go for a "World Legacy" deck, combining all of these interlacing archetypes...

[@ethanredding9977]

[@SlashManEXE]

According to the early video games, Ryu-Kishin Powered was the monster that was transformed into Zera the Mant while Warrior of Zera simply presided over the ritual. Ryu-Kishin has his own arc, and Zera the Mant might be the spirit of darkness that possessed the Ryu-Kishin cards.

World Legacy's storyline is basically Bravely Default

[@digitalice6791]

WE NEED MORE!! Omg this is so good

[@HeartAino193]

Yeah MrTopTenList. The 6 Samurai sure do have the coolest backstory. Plus speaking of which, can you please do Top Ten Samurai in Fighting Games as mentioned in your Top Ten Ninjas in Fighting Games video?

[@HeartAino193]

And also since it's both Easter and April Fool's Day at the same time, what do you think of this joke I'm making up? "What's oval-shaped and can be found hidden in a video game? An Easter egg!"

[@jessesaysthebword5513]

You should absolutely make a whole video of the World Legacy cards onec the story is complete, but I'd also love to see a video talking about Spirit cards. I know they dont really have any in card game lore but I love how almost all of theme is based off of old time Gods and Goddesses.

[@heathledgersjoker6262]

Do a series of Yugioh card backstories

[@vampiredarkdragon]

The condemned maiden has a few more cards in the story. She has 1 or 2 more monster cards, as well as another card depicting her defeating the old guy in the solemn cards.

[@neighborhood_sama4965]

What about the Monarchs??? Looking through their artwork, you can see a really badass story of them conquering some other dimensions and archetypes

[@MrSamthefan]

Here's a funny little detail i just noticed. If you look closely at Wizard Busted Destruction Sword's artwork, you can see two Pitch Black Power Stones (or at least the triangular pattern of it on two similarly round stones) on the daggers that the whelp wields. This further proves that Buster Blader somehow got access to the power of that stone, and used it to his benefit!

[@meganpayette5181]

Top Ten Cutest Yu-Gi-Oh Cards. (Or at least the cards that make you go 'daww".)

[@byefeliciamemez9594]

I agreeeee!! OwO

[@Cameytoe]

Cat Shark

[@majelalover8837]

Cloudian - Smoke Ball

[@lorekeeper685]

Rescue kittin/rabit

[@lorekeeper685]

And the forest beasts

[@Cody-tk9nw]

Okay the Marron happy ending was really nice haha

[@doki-doki_danman3567]

What about Endymion and his Citadel?

[@buddyzilla4557]

Archlards most Certianly did exist as an archetype when this vid came out. There are not many but you showed one already Archlord Zerato. Archlord Kristia also existed at the time. Darklords are inferned to be fallen relations to the Archlords themselves and the Archfiend are the inverted counterparts/enemies of the Archlords. This is why Zerato can also become an Archfiend. All of these archtypes have existed for quite some time, over a decade at least. At this point in time now, the woman from the solemn series has had more added and is linked to the Darklords. It makes sense that so many links would exist as they're all suppose to be from the same reality and locations. The solemn monsters, Zera light path and agent monsters along with many other fairies revolve around the Sanctuary in the sky.

[@eldartaghiyev8422]

Kagemusha is one of the new core six samural.

[@ordalieduvoyageur]

Wu lord is maybe Three kingdom reference from the dark world monster

[@Buzterer]

A theory says that the old man in the solemn cards is actually Odin, lord of aesir without all the jewells

[@MrTopTenList]

That makes sense and I wouldn't doubt it based on how unexpected cards have made connections in the past!

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

is there a way you can make a story of the trickstars? or what other stories in yugioh cards seem interesting to you'

[@denzeltaylor9336]

Really cool video! I would definitely like to see more of the six samurai story!

[@MrTopTenList]

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll do a solo video for monsters, but maybe!

[@PlayDANMAKU]

Wheres the Black luster soldier/Dark ruler hades/BLUE eyes and Red eyes Story?

[@digiing1992]

Hades was in previous, no? Where he dethrones the other ruler (I forgot that vanilla monster name) and acts as the new ruler.

[@PlayDANMAKU]

Digiking1992 no, i say It because all of then are connected

[@digiing1992]

Hades is connected with BLS, BE and RE with me being oblivious to that?!? 😳 Where did they start to connect? I just know that BE and RE have an enemy position since Jonouichi and Seto are not fond of each other, but aside from that...

[@PlayDANMAKU]

Digiking1992 Hades conection its because of Bakura actually

[@PlayDANMAKU]

Digiking1992 this also includes Black luster soldier from yugi

[@itsjustme-_-9621]

The storys behind the cards are really good

[@VinxPlanilla]

How about that knight from the "Raregold armor"? I've seen him in a lot of cards. And I'm guessing a parallel with Dark Blade

[@Fredcat11]

As following: Kishido Spirit, White Dragon Ritual, Paladin of White Dragon, and Paladin of Cursed Dragon?

[@isaacwood4763]

The six samurais where my favorite of this thanks for doing the samurais back story I was confused a bit by how they kept changing

[@skybattler2624]

HA! Where is duel terminal story arc which includes Worms, Draguinity, Gem-knights, Flamevells, Naturia, Genex, Ally of Justice, and many more archetypes that are more epic than those stories you stated? Also... That story is so epic that it included 3 physical generations, 3 world wars, 2 lulls, and summoned 2 Deities to join the mix

[@danielsnyder9200]

I always like seeing how a story can be weaved together through these cards. So far, the most extensive storyline that I have seen is the recent WolrdLegacy Archetype, mainly because it spans multiple Archetypes instead of typically one. I didn't really think about it too much until the other day when I was looking through my collection and read ChosenByTheWorldChalice's card text. When it mentions the "Seven World Legacies" the lightbulb went off and I realized that all 7Legacy Cards have been made; what other Links, cards and/or stories can be made from them I know not, but I look forward to hearing it if/when you can piece it all together. I'm just surprised that so many sub-archetypes are connected to this one (WorldChalice, Krawler, Mekk-night, Knightmare, GuardDragon, Crusadia, even the Orcust; I'm not even sure I've named them all!)

[@GamingVest]

Your lore about the Six Samurai is actually wrong, doesn’t cover all the lore or the dark story about Shien’s Corruption

[@oldfox0015]

This is the best thing I've watched all year. I'm talking movies, anime etc. Couldn't stop laughing

[@elnombredelarosa3167]

Just realized Buster Blader looks like a mexican wrestler

[@hoodinisoar]

I'm pretty sure Zera isn't the vanilla monster, but it's actually a land, or even king. The three outcomes happen from 3 separate Warriors of Zera
