[@GatorRay]

closednick101 Yeah I find the monster spirit idea from GX to be a really interesting one. Also this reminds me that Regulus is getting a Palladion retrain which means that the World Legacy story arc now has some sort of "connection" to the anime since this probably means they're gonna bring back Ancient Fairy Dragon. But there's some other ideas that I have that they might do. Like bringing in a revived Zeman the ape king

[@sdsd1801]

'Regulus' is the brightest star in the constellation Leo, which is why both the Palladion and the effect monster are lions, so it's purely coincidence and they're not retrains. What does AFD and Zeman have to do with Regulus though?

CJ MilitaryMuscle Oh man... so its basically a second Monster Reborn in the deck at that point then. That is a nice power play. I didnt think it would work like that. I dont play much anymore besides replications of the old series like Eternal Duelist Soul on a GBA emulator or something here and there. Prolly gonna jump on and try it out now haha thanks

[@paulpierce1001]

CJ MilitaryMuscle I guess I just never seen Jinzo as a power house before. He was more annoying than anything if you relied heavily on traps (I did prefer traps myself). But there were plenty of effect monster/magic cards in the series that could deal with him easily, if I remember correctly (i.e. Raigeki, man-eater bug, Cyber Jar, Blast Sphere, etc)

[@CGoody564]

The sad part is I am much more familiar/comfortable with how the game was back then. Nowadays i look at yugioh and I'm hit with so many new mechanics all at once that I'm just overwhelmed

[@Basu117]

Fully agree. I think it's cool Konami is always innovating and manages to keep the game fresh with these new mechanics, but man is it frustrating to watch good players nowadays or even play YGOpro against a bot that will just vomit 20 cards on to the field in his first turn.

[@cosmicaler]

[@AnimeFreakX4]

I remember a toys r us yugioh tournament during the GX era. I was using a destiny hero deck. It was the finales this guy had been overly cocky because he won the last 3 toys r us tournaments. He got overly confidant on his last turn for playing Jinzo because I had 3 face down traps on the field. He then kills my destiny hero Dasher. I was down to 2000 LPs and on my turn my clock tower prison got it's final counter and I summed Dreadmaster and brought back Dasher and Diamond Dude. He got pissed saying I cheated. (It was the first time he went up against destiny hero Dreadmaster. ) He ended up getting band from that toys r us for how badly he was freaking out.

[@felynecomrade]

Only Yu-Gi-Oh I play is on an ancient game I have, where the AI can have multiples of restricted traps even though you, the player, cannot. 3 Mirror Forces, Ring Of Destructions, Magic Cylinders, Torrential Tributes, Trap Holes, Negate Attacks... I VERY quickly fell utterly in love with Royal Decree and Jinzo. I even remember once I had them both in play at once. Jinzo negated Royal Decree, but since it didn't destroy it, it remained on the field, and would become active again if anything happened to my Jinzo. THAT is how much I despise trap cards in that game...

Back in the days of Jinzo being the premiere one-tribute monster, I built my Gren Maju deck to take advantage of that by running Inferno Tempest and Rush Recklessly. Then when Jinzo attacked directly, I could trigger Inferno Tempest. Jinzo players didn't destroy my set cards because they had Jinzo, not expecting them to be quick-play spells.

[@MaxLoafin]

Man that's bad yugioh. I'm dying. What exactly is the follow up play to giving Jinzo a hand at smacking you in the face and banishing all monsters from your deck? Pot of Generosity?

3 Gren Majus, 2 Different Dimension Reincarnation, 3 Soul Absorption. One SA on the field meant I would lose 3100 LP and regain around 14000. Plus this was a time when both Dimension Fusion and Return from the Different Dimension were legal.

[@freman007]

My favorite monster of the Duel Monsters era. I got a playset of this, Lord, Jector, and Returner recently, but yes, it is hard to fit them into a deck. Even things like my Cyber Dragons only want Cyber Dragon and level 5 monsters. A lack of traps in the modern meta means he's basically just a level 6, 2400 beater, and in this world of Pendulum, XYZs, and Synchro there are just too many better options for deck space. Although it's a gimmick build, Jinzo could be used with Symphonics. They have a selection of pendulum and tuner effects that could work around Jinzo.

I remember being in my local collector store where we bought and played a lot of yugioh back in the day. One night just before they closed this kid came in with his dad and bought a pack then the guy behind the counter asked him to open it up to see what he got. The kid opened it and we all flipped out! ALL the cards in the pack were Jinzo. The few of us that were there rushed to see but as the rest of the store ran to see the kid's dad ushered him out quickly. lol gald I was there to see that.

[@EPTCG]

I remember pulling Jinzo and I was so happy. I played that card a lot. Played it in so many decks. It was one of the monsters I was sad to stop playing. Absolute classic. Not to mention it was a tin too. That was awesome. So many great memories.

[@yuginono]

I fucking love Jinzo dude! Very influential and pivotal card in the game's history for sure.

[@erichanson3369]

One additional reason that I do not believe was mentioned in MegaCapitalG's video for using Jinzo a lot is its special combination with Call of the Haunted. At least back when Jinzo was considered competitive, it was one of the only monsters around that could be summoned with the aforementioned trap card but not destroyed with it via spell/trap removal. That may well be a minor reason for appreciating Jinzo, but with everything else I think it certainly helped to originally make it EXTREMELY attractive to players.

[@TelvanniGuard]

I ran a Gravity Bind/Burn deck back in the day. Jinzo was my kryptonite. Even moreso than MST with the global backline lockdown. I remember putting Mask of Restrict in the deck for em. Wasn't until Messenger of Peace rolled around that I was able to restart the deck with any kind of meaningful impact.

Back in the day. They were these Yugioh Tins. A big tin container with 1 guaranteed iconic card plus 4-5 packs. And Jinzo became one of the collectable tins to get. Believe it or not this was controversial within our community. Many of us looked down on common reprints. Only the cards original rarity would be respected. If you were caught with a common Call of the Haunted. You'd be labed as a peasant. And while Jinzo was still secret rare from that tin. It still didn't have PSV. So from that day on we forever referred to it as... Tinzo

Our memories of encountering a wild jinzo for the first time were pretty similar all the way down to the tapping of the card and the uhuh Closely followed up with an thats so cool

[@theflyingdropbear2009]

My favorite build with Jinzo was with Horus control, I would sometimes use cards like Brain Control to use my opponents monster as tribute fodder to bring out Jinzo, but during that same turn, I would play premature burial to bring revive Horus Level 6, then follow up with Level up to bring out Horus Level 8. Now days it would be very difficult to win with the deck, due to how slow it is, as well as having cards like Crystal Wing or even Stardust Dragon, both of which could easily hurt both cards. But I did use the deck again, against Nekroz, it shocked my opponent when they saw Horus level 8 and Jinzo on the field at the same time, safe to say there wasn't much they could do about it since Horus stopped all his/her ritual spell cards, but the main difference was, I was using Monarch support to accomplish the same thing, only a little faster.

Don't forget the even more coveted Mechanicalchaser.

[@honestdave]

Learn Japanese From Some Guy and then came Gemini twins just to piss off the people who play that card LOL

[@felynecomrade]

Mechanicalchaser Gemini Elf Vorse Raider Spear Dragon I have an old Gameboy game from 2004 where I just load my deck with those guys. Onslaught of relentless power.

[@honestdave]

felynecomrade I think you forgot alexandrite dragon

[@felynecomrade]

Not in that game.

[@grantmessner7676]

Don't forget Goblin Attack Force.

[@GameAlicornLuna]

Back when I played Paper Magic, I had to use Messenger of Peace in the sidedeck as a counter to Jinzo because I ran a Gravity Bind deck. Soul Exchange + Cannon Soldier was one of the few ways I could handle Jinzo as well as the usual now banned staples like Change of Heart.

Ah, one of the most prized possessions of my childhood.

[@kaikai8702]

I remember back when I would chill out with the crew in the schoolyard and just all of a sudden pull this out and hear a wave of grumbles, it was always music to my ears

[@LordTyph]

Found trouble, huh?

[@catsopi]

My mom used to buy packs for me on her way home from Work back in high school. The week pharaohs servant came out she got me four packs. In those first four packs were Jinzo and Imperial Order. Those were the days 💜💚

[@Tykoon22]

Jinzo was my favorite card for the longest time (along side Vampire Lord), and not even for its stats or ability--I just loved his design and thought he had a cool name.

[@ShoXwavee]

Jinzo works perfectly in a Dark/machine deck with all the new support for it, plus Barrel Dragon.

[@Willpower360]

Me: summons Jinzo Opponent: *USES SPELL CARD*

[@092filmz]

I wish yuhioh stayed simple, I would still play to this day. Like someone said it just became to complicated and cards are coming with a whole essay you have to read to figure out what the card does.

[@nycnow811]

My favorite card of all time, that original artwork is crazy dope!

[@edgara3213]

I love how he threw shade at summoned skull by calling it just another skull servant 😂

[@ArcaneEntertainmentProductions]

jinzo will always be my 2nd favorite card joey used, 1st being of course, being red-eyes

[@erebuskaslana1583]

I remember going wild when I pulled this out of a pack. I had to hide my surprise and pull some of my old cards to hide this from my friends. This was an absolute powerhouse that time.

[@dirtydave1646]

Cool video. I still have Jinzo in my "main" deck (it's not my best deck but I love to play it). I have other decks too. Lightsworn and Zombie for example but my favorite's my main deck.

[@lilpotayto]

I remember my cousin and I used to play casual Yugioh with really awful decks until one summer he made friends with some serious players. The first time I faced off against Jinzo and that effect monster that would instantly kill face down monsters without flipping them it felt like I'd brought a wooden sword to a gun fight. Very scary card.

[@jessejive117]

I wish they’d bring tournaments with GOAT dec format. I want to play a chaos emperor deck again :(

[@XennHD]

Last time I saw my 3 Jinzo's was 12-13 years ago, damn I am 20 now. I still have them somewhere in a collection book. Have to finde it.

[@CraigIsSocial]

My favourite Yu-Gi-Oh card still to this day! I always played exclusively with machines and Jinzo is pretty much the only deck I've played for the last 5 years. Saying that, I haven't played in a year or two now because of all the silly new mechanics killing the enjoyment of the game.

[@JuwanBuchanan]

Even through Jinzo is pass his prime, he still has a place in my heart as a DM icon. I loved summoning him in Yata-lock. Jinzo was pretty scary to deal with if your opponent dropped one on you and equipped him with Axe of Despir. I always tried to save most of my monster destruction cards just in case a Jinzo was summoned.

[@Izaya-472]

Um April 2005 format (Pre GX format) meta was effect reliant and not a vanilla 1800 meta and Mobius and Zaborg saw play in the main/side in that format. Jinzo is our classes by Denko Senka I have not seen any recent meta decks side Jinzo.

[@TheSupermonty15]

Love this series cap. Please do more of these.

[@rubenramirez4071]

You can tell it's a good CapG video if he's not clickbaiting

[@mathunit1]

3 years later, but fuck you anyway.

[@mnorth1351]

Wow. I stopped playing just as the Monarchs were coming onto the scene. It is so strange to watch these histories now, when the only part I remember is the ancient history "caveman Yugioh" days. SOOOO many new types of monsters, ways to summon, new decks even (how is an extra deck different than a side deck? What happened to fusion decks? etc, etc.) Anyway, Jinzo was awesome. I still have one in a binder somewhere, Ultra rare I think.

[@Zachattaqr]

Still have my old jinzo deck. jinzo returner and jinzo jector. love this card

[@vparsa87]

My most recent find memory of Jinzo was summoning him versus Paleo and playing audio from the show.
