[@svoidsofinfinitechaos9367]

I love that this game has some monsters who are out there creating and collapsing entire universes, like Chaos End Ruler, Envoy of the Beginning and the End, while other monsters like Skull Servant are content just having barbecues and going on family vacations.

[@defender2222]

Considering that we now know that Verre, Endymion, and Aleister were once friends I think that they all fought because they couldn't decide the proper way to use magic to create life. Endymion prefers to enhance existing life (Mythical Beasts), Aleister uses sacrifices to summon new life, and Verre crafts new life.

[@andresmarrero8666]

I don't know where the whole "creating new life" thing is coming from. Crafting a golem is not crafting new life and the golem was probably named after Ninaruru and based off the figure on the painting. Do people want Verre to be nefarious or something?

[@jakeblancaster8498]

Theres a few flaws in that statement, Kevin. The Magistuses first came to form the society that would eventually be known as the "Citidel of Endymion", working like a united government for their part of the Duel Terminal World with Endymion as the leader, perfecting the forms of law alongside Artimus, Rilliona worked to perfect the flow of currency and the creation of sustainability jobs, Aleister was tasked with researching and perfecting magic in all forms with Aleister managing to perfect "Invokation" using some old pieces of scrap taken from the Vylons and Gustos, Zoroa was tasked with large-scale stoneworks, metalworks and building construction along with some of his Laval cohorts. At the height of the Magistus's political power, the team had to disband due to conflict amongst the members and so all members voted on dissolving the Magistus government with only Aleister being the only one to vote against the idea and stormed off taking the "Book of the Law" with him, Aleister was never seen or heard till year later.

[@kevinstarr6022]

That actually kind of cool Genni became a witchcrafter because she got restricted to one on the banlist. With not much work under the Endymion Citadel why not take a little stroll down Bystreet.

Fun Fact : Gishki is literally "Gishiki" without the "i" between H and K, also Japanese for "Ritual"

[@adhamwashere5320]

The Japanese name for gishkis was the english word for ritual (ritua monsters) so the English name for them became the Japanese word for ritual (gishki monsters) So it goes both ways

[@KinjiroTheThunder]

@@adhamwashere5320 which explains very well why the Gishki archetype is so reliant on Ritual cards

[@alexs5814]

Another fun fact! "Gischt" in german is translated to Sea Spray, the white foamy mixture of seawater and air that appears naturally everywhere the sea meets the shore. I love this, likely unintended, wordplay.

[@LeAndre_McCoy]

Oh, wow. I just realized Tornado is Tornado Dragon's lower body. 3 evenly spaced tornados from a single funnel. The tornados are legs and tail, while the funnel is the body.

[@lennyface8195]

No one: Skull Servant players: *[SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS]*

[@joshuakim5240]

Skull Servants went from a singular joke cannon fodder card to a beatdown deck that emulates anime powerups from fallen loved ones to a weirdly wholesome vacationing family who even adopts a skeleton dog. Because only a skeleton is a robe can somehow go from literal 0 to 5000 and punch dragons with calcium kung fu.

The interesting part about the hidden lore is that every card is draw by a different artist each time but somehow they do indeed end up telling some history. And yes it would be nice if they ever release Yugioh anime with the histories of the cards and not the game itself. Looking forward to more lore, like the Chaos Goddess synchro for instance.

Reza Raygha I still don’t know why Konami didn’t even try something like this. They even (kinda) tried to make this in the anime spin off, where the main cast gets teleported into the card game world. My guess is that they just don’t like my money or something.

[@Observe-h1t]

@@frankwest5388 more like because the main game A.K.A the trading card game is hot selling even until now so they want to make more by creating anime about it they don't want to take risk by exploring different option like using lore as selling point because the games it self make so much money for them. Konami does want to take another approach like creating different rule to sell their cards like Speed Dueling and Rush Duel, but look at them they didn't sell well compared to their predecessor and instead stick to Master Rule. I doubt we will have anime involving card lores but it doesn't mean there's no hope though.....i think?

[@Rhino-n-Chips]

The figure in Witchcrafter Patronus is likely Magistus Verre Cendrillon, since she already looks related to Madame Verre, they might even be the same person with anti-aging magic tomfoolery. Magistus ties into 3-4 different storylines in Yugioh cards so they're a prime candidate for the next video and to avoid spending 20 minutes summarising World Legacy!

[@aroperdope]

You like 🌎 Legacy? Also you might be right. She does look like Magistus Verre Cendrillon. The same funny hats...

[@Ariaofeffect]

15:33 Actually, if you look closely at memory of an adversary, the head is still fully wood where woodborg has metal (note the ear-branch on memory being a metal antenna in woodborg), thus woodborg would be a rebuild after memory, not before

Unfortunately you're wrong about one thing. Not everyone who was corrupted by the evilswarm virus recovered. The gem knights merged into master diamond became unstable and mutated into illumonesent knight carygorgon and eventually fell apart. This "death" didn't last long and the empty head of carigorgon is seen spawning shadows that devour light. In either a selfish act to corrupt everything like the evil swarm before or a warped view of saving those who lost their lives in war reanimated multiple dead beings including winda, falco, and flamevel hedgehog. These shadows run rampant and are ultimately stopped by the infernoids and zefra with winda and falco being brought fully back to life. However perhaps has a last act of heroism or a cruel twist of fate, the gem knights aren't revived. The ones who were there the entire way and never strayed from their ideals of justice and sacrificed everything simply faded away as monsters

The Lswarm virus was eradicated with the arrival of Sophia, goddess of rebirth. Cairngorgon was born from Gem-knight Crystal ( who was core for Gem-knights Zirconia, Prismaura and Master Diamond) excessive fusing during the war + damage when fighting Sophia that made him into essentially a vampire absorbing everything into himself. Evilswarm Kerykeion went to fight Cairngorgon but was also absorbed, and the power of destruction that Kerykeion was carrying fused with Crystal’s broken core was what made the shaddoll core. Only 2 gem-knights are confirmed dead: Lapis who was revived as El Shaddoll Construct and Crystal himself, also revived as Shaddoll Zefracore. All others fused into Master Diamond’s sword, which he gave to Lazuli when he was injured, and then was used by Lazuli( now known as Constellar Sombre after fusing with all the Constellars) as the cores to bring forth the yang zing.

****EDIT SUBTERROR LORE****INCORRECT INFORMATION**** The gang gets overwhelmed in the cave clash, so guru steps in and goes Full Behemoth mode and transforms into Subterror Behemoth Speleogiest... thus, joining them for the Final Battle!!! That is why Speleogiest is in the background, because he is on their side. (You can see that guru IS speleo by the horns and the gold trim, which can be seen on guru's tail, sucession, and the purple wings) *ALSO INCORRECT:* Subterror Sucession comes AFTER the Final Battle. You are insinuating that Warrior is mentored by guru because guru gave him his coat, thats incorrect, Warrior is not wearing Guru's Coat yet, the fat double-ropes that hang from Guru's coat are not seen on Warrior, also guru's coat has golden circles (which hold the ropes) on each side of the red crest, Warrior's coat does not have the golden circles near the crest. Guru passes his overcoat/mantle to nemesis warrior AFTER the battle, they were not mentored by Guru at the beginning because they never knew him at the beginning. Sucession's post-war card effect makes sense, as this card allows you to discard nemesis warrior and search for Guru. So this could be interpreted as Guru saying "Take this, you can find me if you need me" essentially giving Warrior the power to search for him. The End. This lore ended on a cliffhanger, leaving room for more support. because the next time we see Warrior... he will finally be wearing Guru's iconic coat. *im sorry, but if your going to do a lore vid, it must be correct, no falacies*
