I mean people seem to forget sometimes that the sub heading to Yu-Gi-Oh is ‘King of GAMES’. Multiple games. Not just the card game.

Hot take: There needs to be a Yugioh spinoff series where Atem lives up to his title as "King of Games", and what better way than to start a career in streaming, getting into esports, and punish his rival by having them swatted?

YuGiOh Capsule Monsters Colosseum was amazing though

So Yugi and Joey had to fight in cosplay in order to survive

Come to think of it, Yugioh was a visionary. In recent years, there has been a surge of board games that are comparable to Capsule Monster. Yugioh was just ahead of its time.

Its cool to think theres a universe where Yugioh continued to be about evil spirit killing people with games and trading card games would be different

Little kuriboh... That's a name I never thought I'd hear again

1:10- Pharaoh: I swear this bizarre land situation plays almost like that time I faced Mokuba.....who was oddly more like Weevil....except cute and cuddly. Joey/Jounouchi: Silly Yuge! Season Zero doesn’t count.

The animation in this filler looks like a really well made fanfic.

I grew up watching the Arabic dub for the show And I just noticed something WHY DOES JOEY SOUNDS LIKE JOEY FROM FRIENDS

"Mellon Lover's Club" you cant get one over on me, 4kids. Animaniacs trained me for this.

Pokemon Game: "Would you like to activate your Yu-Gi-Oh! skin?" NO *> YES* Pokemon Game: "Welcome to Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters!"

yo as a kid though I liked to imagine this because it felt like a fantasy rpg with yugioh monsters.

0:52 It was called Magic and Wizards and the board was a map. It was pretty clearly based more on D&D than MTG...

If the original manga version of Capsule Monsters was made in real life I would be totally into it, that's sure.

You should review Digimon V-Tamer, The Mega Man Battle Network games, or Kirby Right Back At Ya. There’s a translation online for the former.

I have Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monster Colosseum for the PS2. It's one of my favorite yu-gi-oh games.

Whenever I hear YuGiOh Capsule Monsters I just think of that Team Four Star Cell Games series where cell meets Yugi and Ash Ketchum

Can't be king of games if you don't cover every genre right? 😁🤷‍♂️

1:05 - 1:24 Manga Mokuba never ceases to be unsettling

0:33 "Ugh! It's not like Yu-Gi-Oh at all!" -Duke Devlin

*Season 0 Yami has entered the chat* *Season 0 Yami has mindcrushed the chat*

When I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh! last year in japanese, I was so confused why I couldn't find Capsule Monsters in japanese dub lol But when I watched it, I must say it is indeed boring and passable. But the concept is so freaking cool! I really love the dumb armors and arm launcher of bullets that spawn yugioh monsters.

Yugi DNA digiovles I started laughing😂😂

I like that Tristan and Tea have battles in the show, thats something the mangá doesnt do.. only one time for nothing progressivelly great

Capsule monster? PLAY A CHILDREN'S CARD GAME INSTEAD :D

''Yugioh and his monster DNA digivolve to create an ironman-type suit'' LMFAO xd

I would love if you checked out Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (aka the motorcycle one). It doesn't get nearly enough attention because the premise is so out there, but it's amazing because of it.

Capsule monster: good idea Dungeon dice: good idea Speed duels: wasted money

Only cool part of the Capsule monsters part of the anime was the armoured forms Yugi took when fusing with a monster. But looking back on it Joey and Yugi managed to find capsules that contained monsters from their respective Decks.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters Collesium was actually pretty fun, assuming you turned off battle animations. I primarily used an army of Skelengel due to their unique attack pattern and a Blue Eyes Ultimate just to obliterate everything else. It was actually kind of like playing Fire Emblem with Yu-gi-oh monsters. Aside from the card game eclipsing the other two games. Dungeon Dice Monsters and Capsule Monsters also never had a chance to take off because making plastic figures is much more expensive than printing paper cards.

It didn't really fail though. Konami and the series both tried something new. It worked better as a video game and part of the series than it did the actual game.

in the manga there wasn't a "king", the players had to kill all the opponent's monsters.

Highly recommend playing through the rest of the ps2 game. Ive beaten it twice. So good.

The PS2 game was pretty nice. Good gameplay and wonderful graphics/level design. At the same time, there's no denying that the story is nonexistent, and the collections both require about 5+ playthroughs (which can grow dull without serious breaks) and end up feeling a bit empty compared to the already 1000+ strong selection of monsters to choose from in the card game at the time.

"Capsule Monsters" was pretty weird, I'll give you that. The only positive things I can say about it is that A) Yugi's grandfather actually got to be part of an adventure this time around and B) the monster armor looked pretty cool. Otherwise, I'm sticking with the Abridged version of this arc.

Great content as always! Any chance you’ll cover non-cartoon/anime topics like maybe the AWFUL USA Kamen Rider Dragon Knight series? That terrible show would make for an not-terrible video ;)

I remember when this was first introduced in the Manga. It was so awesome, I really wanted the toys 1:02

The PS2 one was actually one of my favorite childhood games! I finished the game years ago and I have to say it was pretty hard to finish. Especially getting all pieces of Exodia, but overall the game was alot of fun just like Duelist of the Roses.

Yugi with Wings looks amazing though. I'd love to just watch him fly around. And he/the wings fold up afterwards so they're not sticking out like most other winged characters seem to do.

"Wouldn't it be cool if we all had cosplay- I mean battle suits like you Yugi?" "No, i'm the main protagonist, therefore only I can have the cool gimmics"

Huh interesting. Seems similar to the Duelist of the Roses game (Still my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh video game to this day)

Your Yu-Gi-Oh videos are why I subbed and I'd love more from you I now have watched all your videos and I love your humor and editing style is wonderful!

Personally, I liked the Capsule Monsters arc. (Mind you I watched it not knowing where in the show it happened, just watching the episodes themselves) I especially liked the concept of the Dual Armor. Something about combining your strength with that of your monster just intrigued me.

I still feel like Dungeon Dice was a hugely underappreciated, and capsule monster was... fine i guess(?)

I wonder what the next video will be. Maybe it should be SD gundam was weird or Boboboboo was weird.

"I can't wait for the sequel when the gang faces off against Attila the Hun." Ahahaha...hahahaha...f-funny idea, right? Yeah. That's so ridiculous. I mean, fighting a random historical figure like that. Yeah. Fighting Attila the Hun like that. My Switch: Fate/Extella Link has finished pre-installing.

I honestly would like to see a reimagining of Capsule Monsters, yu-gi-oh related or not. It seems very intriguing.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters Collesium was the best game on ps2

Capsule Monsters was being demoed at GenCon Indy around 2007. It was interesting to play but it clearly never took off.

I liked capsule monsters in the anime more than the duel monsters part of it

@3:54 distancing yourself from everything you liked as a kid..?? The hell did you start doing instead!? Lol

I thought the stakes were pretty the same as the 01 digimon. In fact, this was pretty much the og digimon.

It's about damn time. Season 0 is my favourite.

I'll admit I actually liked the capsule monster episode and dungeon dice monsters. They were unique and not all about the card game. I thought the armored forms were cool. I may be in the minority but still. I think just thinking of the entire series as just the card game is why most people seemed to hate it when they deviated from the card game.

PLEASE do Oban Star Racers and watch the whole thing (26 episodes), quite possibly the most underrated cartoon/anime of all time

Capsule Monster for PS2 its probably my favorite yu-gi-oh video game

Thank you for being you, sir! 🙏🏼🤗

I can tell you right now that Capsule Monsters PS2 is THE BOMB. I played it all the time as a kid and recently revived the game to jam out with my flatmates. I recognized the map from the physical game as one of the many maps from the PS2 game too. It’s surprisingly deep, with each monster having different move & attack ranges, and specials they can earn as they level up. Unfortunately there’s no hard mode, the game just has you replay the story when you finish it. So once you have a sufficiently powerful deck, the only way you’re going to have any challenge at all is if you play against another player. On a PS2 game. That never had any online functionality. That depends on collecting and leveling a bunch of monsters. Needless to say; that’s probably a reason the game died.

"dungeon dice monsters, the failed spin off that took Yu-Gi-Oh and gave it dice." I'm getting flashbacks to ygotas lol. Oh, I see that you are a man of culture and watched that too. That's how I discovered capsule monsters too.

billiam u literally went to where they make bakugan and neither you or the yugitubers said anything about them combining bakugan tech with dungeon dice monsters

The term is "Biomerge Digivolution" Billaim, get it right man ;P

I remember watching this on hulu and I thought it was werid, bit I kept watching it to the end

4Kids was definitely hoping the Capsule Monsters anime would work as an ad for the physical game. After all, they went as far as to produce that 12-episode mini-series. It was an oddly, mostly American, Yu-Gi-Oh production.

Capsule monsters is a Digimon clone!

Capsule Monsters wasn't a spin off. if anything the card game is the spin off. it was just the more successful of the two, and due to popular demand thats the game the series followed after season 0.

I would LOVE for you to look at Duelists of the roses. It might be closer to normal yugioh than caosule monsters and not have an anime to go with it but its still so wierd

The only good thing that came from Capsule Monsters is: that one ritual monster based on the Joey/Red-Eyes hybrid. It is a Broken card.

Lol wut, capsule monster was internationnal only? Well, the more you know I guess. I never tried to look for it after watching on tv.

Watch 'huntik' next please. They even made a card game around it. Seriously give it a try. It's very standard

Capaule Monsters was the first Time I saw yugioh as a Kid on TV. (Joe in the Labyrinth) Here in Germany its a own Season.

I got interested in this and managed to snag an unopened copy of the starter set from eBay after looking for months years ago, if I knew you were doing this I would have sent it to you 😭. Thanks for still doing your research on the topic, love the video as always.

New Billiam video? _clicking intensifies_

1:19 from my understanding the objective is to capture the king. You never actually take the piece.

To Me the video games weren't a failed spin off. In fact I want sooo much more of it! Me and my brother couldn't get enough of it. Especially capsule monster coliseum. I wish they would have gone further. I think they didn't take enough opportunity to advertise it better. Pokemon xd gale of darkness is the same to me. Such an amazing concept and game but never fully used to its full potential. Instead it's just left alone to slowly be forgotten. Yes I also know he's mainly talking about the anime, but it includes the games as well.

I loved the original Manga series. Shame it wasn't that popular and the whole series completely shifted to cards

Long live the Yo-Kai masterace

Where are the Brothers of the Bell? Let's represent, we are here early.

I heard that rumor during pre capsule monster thing was exactly hard to game freak or konami made exactly same name so in order to avoid it the gave konami that idea so yeah.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster on the video game on ps2 was super fun! And I like the tv show, it was my guilty pleasure. I still go back and watch that season. But the manga and game did it justice.

Capsule monsters sounds like Pokemon

Can you look at Godzilla Planet of the Monsters??????????

Thank you for confirming this wasn’t an aggressive fever dream I had once and in fact was a real thing! 😆👍

01:45 favorite childhood dream come true type video games almost never got bored of

First!

I liked Capsule Monsters.. Mostly I enjoyed how stupid it was.

I actually have a pretty big soft spot for Capsule Monsters! Obviously it's completely non-canon and 4Kids is garbage, but it had some legitimately interesting ideas. It fleshed out personalities and lore of some of the monsters in a way stop the show by its nature as a card game with card spirits that weren't constant companions couldn't, and the whole thing with some characters being able to fuse with monsters is SO cool - the Dark Magician family of monsters has always been my favorite, so watching Atem fuse with Dark Magician and Magician of Black Chaos were crowning moments of awesome. They still got me super hyped on rewatch a couple years ago. I actually just cleaned out some of my screenshots folder a month ago and found the whole sequence of Tristan with the melon painstakingly capped!! The fact that was so out of the blue made that moment even funnier!

I remember as a kid getting the two dvds and watching it with my brothers. We loved every minute of it and the concept though done poorly was fun and interesting to us. Though we did see the series through a filter by having a lot of the main series on dvd allowing us to enjoy capsule monsters with out it getting in the way of the canon series. We even watched it recently and still found joy out of it. But maybe me and my brothers are anomalies in this sect.

I love the original series so much that I watched the Japanese seasons as well but this Capsule monsters series looks awful.

If you want to try it, check it on Tabletop Simulator (in the Steam Workshop)

Oh my god I cannot wait for the Capsule Monsters Abridged series to get to Tristan’s weird melon obsession 😂

6:29 "Now I am an orange!" 🤣

Glad someone besides me loves the abridged series.

Read the origional manga run that occurs BEFORE the duel monster stuff. This "season zero" run (like you said) focuses on more than duel monsters and also gives us more characterization. They are all aweful except Tristin. Granted he gets the least focus buy when he is shown, he is pretty altruistic. Joey and Tristin were previously in a cutthroat gang. This causes Joey to get wrangled in by the old gang members several times. He tries to deal with the drama himself. Tristan not only helps Joey despite Joey's objections but fills in his other worried friends on what is happening when Joey disappears for a few days. Yep, this kid just goes missing. It's revealed that Tristin is the only one aware of Joey's abusive father by this point and nearly gets a face full of bottle visiting him. He goes to see if Joey is there but when his dad chucks a beer bottle at him thinking its Joey and demanding to know where he has been, Tristin pieces together for Yugi that Joey must have been abducted by their old gang if his father said Joey hasn't been at home for days. Despite keeping Yugi in the know about his friends situation, he refuses that Yugi physically confront the gang himself and charges into the hideout alone to save Joey. He even insteucts Yugi to run away if he and Joey do not come out in a certian amount of time and forget them for his and Te'as own good. Yugi does ignore him to save the day but Tristin ultimately was a lot more altruistic and understanding to his friends emotions than Joey ever was. The rare moments he was focused on tended to also show his softer side. At one point he crushed on a girl so he got grandpa's advice on the best way to write her a love note. Grampa sold him (of course, gotta run a buisness) a blank puzzle to write a love note on. As she completes the puzzle she gets to see his note and it's how Grandpa asked out Yugi's Grandma. Tristin is very sincere and not pervey at all in this arch but the joke ending is that she still turns him down. He is also shown to be a relictant but good babysitter in the Death T arch. He is only involved because he was taking his nephew to Kaibaland serendipitously at the same time to bump into Yugi. Kaiba is a enemy at this point and Tristin's nephew is a gebuine pervey brat who is mean to his uncle beyond belief but he idolizes Kiaba so Tristin agrees to tkae him to the thene park on opening day. He does everything he can to protect his nephew and his friends when Kaiba puts them in real danger and even has an awesome cowboy moment. His nephew gets to help him in a safe way and he takes takes out professional hitmen in an epic quickdraw standoff.later on they wind up in a small room with heavy tetris blocks falling on them. They must climb up whie avoiding the falling blocks to reach the door up top. Tristin's jacket is caught by a block and his fate sealed but he stays silent knowing there was nothing his friends could do and them being aware would only put them at more risk trying to help him. They reach the top (his nephew incuded) before they realize what happened and Tristen explains. He tells them just to move on and keep his nephew safe. The area he is pinned miraculously hasn't had a block fall on it yet but it seems only a matter of time since the entire room will be filled before it stops. We later learn that Mokuba saved Tristin to ask him for a favor but none of the group knew this would happen at the time. Several baddies had been killed by this point with he crew being the intended targets and so it was gebuinly believed by them that Tristin was striat up murdered. He knew he would die but chose to keep quite for his firneds sake in his last moments. Te'a is a step worse than Joey. Joey DID steal Bandit Keith's time machine card blatantly during duelist Island as reveled in Yugioh R but had given up most his ture criminal behavior before the series started. He is a bit of a stubborn airhead like in the anime, who just has a level of social ineptitude (likley due ot his tragic family life) but Te'a is one of the main cast to have done some really questionable stuff intentionally for personal gain. The other is Yugi (No, not Yami. Everyone knows how messed up HE was in that season) but we'll get to him in a minute. Te'a developes a crush on Yami. At this point, he has only appeared a couple times and it isn't clear what he is. Te'a hypothesises that innocent little Yugi has been so represed that he has developed an alter ego. Since Yami only comes out when his friends are in crisis and he hasn't had many for so long, she thinks the more agressive Yami is Yugi's self defense to prevent losing his desperatly wanted friends. She is kind of half right as his wish to the puzzle upon completing it was for friends. Yami had saved her from some creepy dudes a couple of times and she developed a sort of addicted thrill to being the rescued damsel. She agress to go on a date to a theme park with Yugi but there is just not the same spark as when the heroic deep voiced version is stopping an implied rapist from getting her through a game of chance and black magic. A serial bomber however threatens the park and everyone is told to evacuate..so of course Te'a sees this as the perfect opportunity to lure out her man. She runs off, jumps onto the ferris wheel instead and reveals herself only after her car has stopped at the top. A panic occurs and she realizes her mistake as the ride turns out to be where the bomb is planted. Of course Yami stops the bomb, apprehend the bomber who he reveals never ACTUALLY intended to hurt anyone but just caused the public destruction for attention (this is why he always put out a warning with ample time for evacuation and why Te'a's selfish, horney act of manipulating Yugi by putting herself in danger..was the only reason Te'a was ever in any danger) and saved the day. Te'a appears shaken at the end having learned her lesson..but yeah..no..she still just leads poor Yugi on the rest of the series and finds safer ways to bring the Pharoah out to force herself on him. It's a really messed up love triangle that likely caused Yugi some real trauma later on..and speaking of love between Yugi and Te'a! Ho boy is Yugi just AWEFUL! So at the very beginning we learn he is not popular at all. He is small for his age and not athletic. He is bullied by Joey and Tristin. He also stays in the class at recess to do puzzles alone. Te'a's family was good friends with Yugi's so as younger kids they were best friends. As they got a little older, Tea went to an all girl school and got into "girly" things so they saw very little of each other. This year, they are again in the same class and Yugi is looking on the newly "developed" Te'a with fresh, thirsty eyes. He mostly just fantasizes from afar like a perv but Te'a finally takes some pity on the outcast and they talk. She asks about the puzzle he is doing at his desk and he reveals it is the Millennium Puzzle, a memento of his grandfather. This implies Grandpa died and Te'a feels bad for Yugi. Yugi is VERY aware of this misunderstanding but sees it as an opportunity to get more attention from Te'a, who offers to walk him home. Once they get there she learns Grandpa isn't dead. We also see Yugi takes after him as the old man much more bluntly recognizes Tea's "changes" since he saw her last. Confronting a ghost who sexually harasses her, Te'a is not too amused with Yugi. Yugi tries to say that he meant the puzzle was GOING TO BE a memento of his grandfather but that opens another can of worms. Since this draws attention to the puzzle in front of Grandpa, we learn he did NOT give it to Yugi as Yugi claimed. It was on his workbench and Yugi took it without permission. Grandpa reveals he had been looking for it and demands it back as they could sell it for some real money for the family. Yugi refuses, insisting it has to be his as a memento of the old man when he dies. This also all occurs right in front of a confused and angry Te'a. Pretty uncomfortable and dark of the innocent protagonist child we here were lead to belive the Yugi counterpart was. Obviously Yami is the absolute worst of them all once he rears his shadow lined face but regular Yugi still occasionally shows some real pervy and tactless behavior around his friends at points in the series. He can be a real selfish creep at times and the main difference between him and some of the other minor antagonists in this era of the series is really that the puzzle gave him friends. This is what ultimately changed his life for the better and ensured Yugi grew into a better overall human being. It is even kind of recognized as the lesson of the Archie on how important friends are as yugi could have been any of these guys had he kept on the same desperate and lonely path. Even Kaiba is a vision of Yugi as the successful buisness nerd who got to wrapped up in his success and gaming reputation. Pretty much every character became better as a human being (in the end at least) for the puzzle having brought them into a circle of friendship. They all also some serious character flaws to overcome in the beginning. It was surprising years after first watching the anime to read this and learn how unlikable of triats so many of the main cast really had early on. I do find the melon thing pretty funny. Capsul monsters was a western filler only so it is odd they would insert this innuendo when they went so hard in removing anything suggestive form thevorigional story. It's also weird they would make Tristin say this as he was the least pervy of the crew. His nephew..an actual baby was a real creep who wanted to grab Te'a's boobs (everyone in the series did young and old except tristin apparently) but Tristin actually took a shamed embarrassment to his nephews behavior. Objectifing women was just something that made Tristi more incomfortable than anything in most cases early on.

Ironically I just found my Capsule Monsters movie DVD then I get this recommended

Why was Tristan the captain of the Melon Lovers Fan Club for four years when he was the captain of the Beautification Club for all four years in highschool?

I thought these were more popular, I had a decent amount of these growing up and loved them

Capsule Monster Coliseum is one if the best Yugioh spin off games ever I highly recommend finishing it 😄

I remember reading the manga once and yugi wasn’t playing duel monsters he would just play some random game with his opponents and it confused tf outta me

I absolutely love playing capsule monster coliseum. I used to stay up all night playing that game. I even tried to recreate it using paper cut-outs and a large board that had many dividers. Still one of my favorite games to date.
