Yu-Gi-Oh! - Monarch Archetype

[@dragonflier289]

SOOOOO.... I hope everyone liked my scripting. It was my first time doing something like this. Of course I have to thank Sam for doing this video using my script. AND apologize for forgetting the Japanese names of the cards. If you haven't watched the video, ENJOY!

[@TheKpa11]

I'm surprised you wrote something out and that TGS accepted it, but that's pretty cool

[@dragonflier289]

I'm still in shock about the whole thing myself. It all began when he said he would like some help on script writing during a stream. I asked if he would accept it, and he said he would. So later that week, or the week after the stream (horrible memory) I sent him what I had done and he liked it, which gave me the drive to finish it (and stay up to 12:30am my time to do it!)

[@PhoenixNovaX]

I hope he uses my script, thought I feel like it will be some time until that gets used

[@dragonflier289]

Oh, did finish the D/D/D script? Awesome if you did.

[@PhoenixNovaX]

It was for a new archetype that was released in Code Of The Duellist and gained support later in the Circuit Breaker packs.

[@MidnightKingL]

Shout out to Caius and Mobius for busting me out of countless bad spots.

Shawn Williams The OGs. Literally threw them in almost every deck. Would also like to wish death on all those people who thought they could use Gravity Bind or Level Limit Area B on me.

[@AlphaC0re]

[@RAINIBEAR]

@@MidnightKingL It's funny coz I have a digital monarch deck and I hate cards like Gravity Bind and Level Limit Area B.

[@cypherdastro8105]

Glad to see Mah Boi Mobius getting respect. Him and Daedalus were my aces in Tag Force and still are 😁

[@cozasful]

Here's a fact you missed during the video which I find extremely interesting. Edea can possibly come from the Greek word Ιδέα. Which means Idea. And Edea special summons Eidos from the deck basically describing the creation process. Literally turning an idea into SOMETHING real and physical. I just love all those little things sprinkled in into yugioh and it's the reason I'm watching this channel. I hope you found that little tidbit interesting.

[@Pilgrym52]

Konami has recently given us some lore on the Monarchs, and it turns out they are not kings of the spirit world, but a collection of titans that wander the world destroying everything in their paths, under Erebus. The exception is Ether who appears in the destroyed lands and revitalize them. No word on the vassals though

[@andresmarrero8666]

I frankly don't buy that explanation. If they were just destroyers then why would you call them Monarchs, give them kingly atire, literal thrones, and vassals? Everything about them suggests king or ruler not destroyer.

[@gamedominatorxennongdm7956]

Yes they are kings, but they are also a walking calamity, destroying everything in their wake.

[@bananaman8669]

Destroyer could be the ruler of what’s left behind, i guess 💀

[@robertmcnear8345]

So I guess the destruction depicted in March of the Monarchs and The Monarchs Storm Forth is kind of accurate.

[@neovoltron25]

Then they're like the Celestials from the Marvel Universe.

[@ScionStorm1]

I want Monarchs to each get a knight monster, an equip spell Throne, a Castle continuous spell and a field spell representing their kingdom.

[@ultimateblazek8164]

I had to click this sssooo fast. Monarch's first appearance in GX was kinda dope but the archetype has grown stronger ever since.

[@keeganguyer5237]

The Monarchs are my favorite Archetype Design-wise, with the monsters being perfect Duel Spirits to be the last antagonists / final boss of a Yugioh Anime Series.

[@aozorahaou2643]

I like to see the Supreme King of GX being the King of the Duel Monsters Spirit World since he has a deep connection to Duel Monster Spirits and he's meant to rule Neo Space so I'd like to say that when he died and was reincarnating as Jaden/Judai he left the Monarchs in charge to watch over the spirit world well that's my headcanon

[@heroeus8173]

Actually Jaden is only a heir to the throne of a certain kingdom of the spirit world(There are also many other kingdoms)he is the heir of the king of darkness The monarch is more like the sovereign of the factions of each type and element of the spirit world in general

[@ryugaknight]

Monarch Decks have always been my bane, in the past when they were ran in banishing decks and now with their disrupting of the extra deck...

[@IntrovertedCanine]

As with an actual Monarch they’re all about control

[@Strike-hopper]

I know your logo it's ryukas from kamen rider ryuki movie and dragon Knight well there was called onix I love tokusatsu more then anime do you watch it do you revice I watch revice can we fan boy out at tokusatsu wo sorry I get exited when I meet another rider fan

[@iBenjamin1000]

I always thought the little guys in domain of the true monarch's artwork were minions of Erebus, but now I can see that they're the original monarchs. Does that mean Eerebus is just that much bigger than the rest of the monarchs?

[@heroeus8173]

Erebus also appear in the artwork of "The first monarch" This implies that he is the first monarch Thus he is stronger that the original Six As we can see the 6 bow to him as he is on his throne

[@lolosh99]

Yes. He is a big boi

[@milesandrews6711]

Yes he's the bigman of the monarchs

[@PhotonKingShark77]

Well I guess if you want something done you do it yourself.

[@theluckygamer10]

STAR Anime why did you do that when the dude that hates XYZ is the comment you posted this on

[@mercenarygundam1487]

I want an anime centred around these guys. The shenanigans they get caught up in the duel spirit world would be hilarious. Erebus: Team Dad Ehther: Team Mom Monarchs: Senior members Vassals: Junior members Eidos and Edea (Squires): Lovebirds. Fun fact: Garum is a fish sauce in ancient Rome.

[@Carlitonsp1]

"Jesus the light Monarch" has a nice ring to it.

[@macaulaybeehler6220]

I disagree

[@admiralhipster9583]

You can special summon him 3 turns after being sent to graveyard

If one monster you control switches control to your opponent, send him to the graveyard in the End Phase.

I love that a video about one of my favorite archetypes was realized on my birthday

I really thought that the fact that angmarl is the only level5 monarch would have been brought up, since the others are all level 6 or 8 (not counting vassals and squires ofcourse)

Take a shot for each “vessel,” “Monarch,” “Squire,” and “Mega Monarch”

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

I've always loved the monarchs. I hope we get a little Vassal mate in Master Duel, maybe even a full-blown monarch like Mobius. Imagine seeing its glistening crystalline armor, clicking on it causing it to look around as an aurora borealis appears in a mist above it before dissipating, or mashing the ground to create a circle of spiky ice stalagmites, or even conjuring a snowball to throw at the opponent. (It'd be cool (pun unintended) if it could hit the opponent's mate with it too but it would be way too much work to make sure it impacts correctly for every mate). P.S. Monarch =/= King. While kings are what they're most commonly associated with. it's basically the ruler of any land that operates based on heirs. So Queens, Emperors, and Empresses are also in the mix.

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

That’s a really good idea. Imagine hitting Mobius with a snowball and seeing his strong, perfectly chiseled body glistening and wet from the melting snow. He looks angry at first, but then he turns back to you and softly smiles before bending over and presenting you with his quivering hole, already lubricated from the melted snow and waiting on you to make your next move. Seriously though your comment sounds super gay.

[@huntermyers3551]

If there's one Yu-Gi-Oh monster archetype I love its monarch

[@rexevans100]

I love this archetype, and Frognarchs were my main deck during synchro plant format. Love them.

[@derkaiser16]

17:23 once again sam, since Gladiator Beast Nerokius appeared, hope you can make a trivia on the GB archetype some time later

So these cards are like Yugioh version of the Spirts from Digimon

My best friend plays monarchs. This archetype is disgusting to play against. I actually had to go out of my way and buy mask of restrict just to have a fighting chance.

I am using this archetype (mostly its spells and traps) as a support for my gravekeeper deck, and it's pretty fun tho, you're pretty active during your opponent turn with escalation of monarch + arrival rival.

[@kyleoliver637]

I’m curious how you incorporated them into Gravekeepers. Can you give some tips?

Also Delg The Dark Monarch is the only card from the three archetypes which is currently available in Yu-gi-oh Duel Links. Also still waiting for the Elemental Heroe archetype, The Fluffal & Fightfur archetypes, the Ice Barrier archetype, The Machine King archetype, The Magnet Warrior archetype, Grinder Golem, Volcanic Queen, The Insect archetype, The Warrior archetype, Jerry Beans Man, Alligator's Sword, Baby Dragon, Thousand Dragon, Dark Jeroid, Castle Of Dark Illusions, the Harpie archetype, Quilbolt Hedgehog, Sonic Chick, Parasite Paracide, & Curse Of Dragon to name a ton.

[@GameCyborgCh]

Not sure where the author of the script got the idea that mobius strips are impossible 3d objects. That's not true they are possible, you can make one at home very easily, take a strip of paper and tape it ends together but give one end a twist before doing so. Congrats you made a mobius strip. Fun fact: the recycling logo is a mobius strip 3 twists instead of one. One thing that is impossible in 3d is a klein bottle which is kind of the 4d equivalent of the mobius strip, in fact you'd get a klein bottle if you glued a left and a right handed mobius strip along the edge.

[@Dar2Jee]

> you can not summon monsters from the extra deck .. Monarch player : the what?

[@sunilpermaul7876]

I really like the videos, however I have noticed some redundancies in the things you're saying. Repeating certain things (like mentioning the mega monarchs multiple times), could be cut down and shorten the amount of information given.
