Long ago the four elements and darkness lived together in harmony. But then everything changed when the blue eyes white dragon attacked

I would love an archetype based on 5 headed. Each head could be a main deck monster add some spells and traps that generally work with dragons and get cumulative effects for different attributes.

Considering that the link version of five headed dragon is unaffected by other card effects and is a massive beat stick that can ONLY die in battle to a light attribute monster, makes it worth the maintenance cost in my opinion

Five Headed Dragon also made an appearance in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters mini-series but was defeated by Yugi who used the power of blue eyes white dragon.

Man, i can't believe that Kazuki takahashi loved heads so much that he made an entire archetype out of it, truly one of his main passions

Honestly the more I've gotten into DnD, the more I'm noticing all the references and inspirations in YGO, especially in the earlier years. Kind of surprised no one has made a TTRPG based on Duelist Kingdom or the game talked about here yet.

In our childhood, we used to believe that you must use Darkfire Dragon, Metal Dragon, Serpent Night Dragon/Red-Eyes and two other dragons like Curse of Dragon, Tri-Horned, Seiyaryu, Hyozanryu, Tyrant Dragon, Luster Dragon, Thousand Dragon etc. in order to summon it. We argued why a certain dragon can or can't be used lol

Ideally, the Link Monster would be used as a final push to deal with all the opponent’s remaining cards on the field. It could work in something like Dragonmaids or Dragon Link, assuming the latter has enough dragons of various Attributes. Ideally, the maintenance cost wouldn’t come into play as the duel would end the same turn it is summoned.

For a semi iconic boss monster from the DM Era, I’m suprised it doesn’t have an archetype yet. It could be seeing the individual dragons each with different effects. And hell, shove Red-Eyes in there since the dark head looks like it anyways

Five-Headed Link Dragon's summoning condition is very easy to meet, since it just requires any five monsters at minimum, so you can abuse token strats with him. He's the main monster on my kuriboh deck and I've had the chance to play two on the same turn on Master Duel. It's crazy seeing opponents try to remove it by any means and failing due to being unnafected.

I would love a fusion or ritual version that gained different effects for each element you use as material. Fire - added damage when destroying a monster Water - attack again after destroying something Dark - if target isn't destroyed by battle, banish it Wind - Piercing battle damage Earth - Can switch battle position at end of turn Something like that.

“Five …….Headed ……..Dragon”

Looking at a video on Five Headed Dragon, it makes me think there’s potential for a “Was The Big Five about to defeat Yugi and Joey?”. One instance is when Nezbitt takes over from Johnson; had Johnson got another turn, used his deck master’s effect to banish all of their monster’s, destroy Mirror Force with Heavy Storm and attack Joey directly with Machine King defeating him. Yugi would be at a huge disadvantage at this point and would likely loss.

I realized something, if Arc-V had a ritual dimension we could have had a new version of the 5-headed Dragon using the 5 dimensional dragons (Pendulum, Syncro, Xyz, Fusion and Ritual) as material, in fact, the Dragon of the Supreme King Z-Arc could have been a 5-headed dimensional dragon. Actually, even without the 5th, the Z-Arc Supreme King's Dragon could have been a 4-headed dimensional dragon and it would still be very interesting.

Watch out! It’s the FIVE FILLER DRAGON!!!

Just a fun fact I thought was worth mentioning, I always felt like FGDs design was based specifically on Tiamat's depiction in the anime Record of Lodoss war, if you look up the anime's OP it appears towards the end.

I remember five headed dragon also appearing in the animated version of capsule monster colloseum and yugi fusing together with blue eyes white dragon to defeat it :O

Five Headed Dragon is a cool monster and it’s Link retrain is good too. Could you please do the Nekroz archetype lore next?

Honestly... I prefer to use Greater Polymerization when fusion summoning FHD. Giving it immunity to Edit (card effects) as well as inflicting piercing damage makes it extra deadly.

You mentioned the Future Fusion/Dragon's Mirror combo, but you forgot to bring up another hilarious thing you could do with this: dump a bunch of fodder you could revive with Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, use for synchros and stuff, *then* Dragon's Mirror them once your combos were done.

*The Headed/God Dragon Archetype* Make it like the A to Z series, Give it all 5 dragons and let it fuse with different combinations of said dragons. I think the sound of Hot Headed Dragon would be cool.

I’ve loved this series for a while now, but this is Egyptian God level of Divine timing. Yesterday my D&D group had our 4th to last session of what’s been a four-year long campaign where Tiamat was revealed as the final boss. Edit / Update: We defeated her!!! And fittingly enough, one of the contributing factors to our win was the arrival of a sorcerer / paladin of Bahamut NPC we’d befriended halfway through the campaign who happened to be a young platinum dragon in disguise!!!

5 Headed Dragon was my overkill card back in 2014 with Hieratic Dragons. Hehe

Five-Headed Dragon: Only a Light Knight can kill me. Magical Musketeers: Hold my beer.

5-Headed Dragon was an incredibly strong monster when it first came out, but as the years followed, monsters evolved with crazy skills and other cards and archetypes also evolved. Some players can special summon 20 monsters on just 1 turn with no problem. Certainly, 5-Headed Dragon can’t compete with that.

This was a DOPE episode and I love that you tied it into D&D and Tiamat/Bahamut!! Excellent!!! 😃😊

The monster world and 5 headed dragon's arc is a shining example of who Yu-Gi-Oh needs an open world RPG full of lore

Back in the day I used to include FHD and Dragon’s Mirror in basically all of my Dragon decks as a sort of emergency ace. As time has gone on I use it less and less, even in decks where I could conceivably use it with ease. I should make a deck for it, if for nothing else than for casual nostalgia.

When you see Toons being played and wanna see this dragon have a Toon version of itself and be the first ever Toon fusion card or be a toon version of the Link-summoned counterpart! That would be AWESOME AF!

I'd argue the virtual arc is one of the most well remembered.

I wonder why Kaiba never had a Five Headed Dragon in his deck....he had so many dragon cards

if only we had that grass looks greener I'm sure the link retrain could be a really fun tech for dragon links and to be honest I kind of wanna see it now xD Still it really feels like the dragon rulers were kind of made for that card, idk it kind of fits the theme because we already had a lot of dark monster. Anyway to anyone that sees this comment, have a nice day

This brings back so many memories of me as a kid binge watching the original Yu-Gi-Oh series seeing this card on the TV screen I miss young version of me ,my childhood and so many things I really want to go back and fix

During my high school days in 2006/2007, this was my alt win con. Thanks to it's massive attack and semi generic materials. It can act both as Graveyard setup and close out a game if the field is open at the drop of a Dragon's Mirror. And I loved it so.

The following text is from the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki page, "Card Storylines" Petit Dragon began his journey becoming the familiar of Wynn, gaining more power as they both grew stronger. One day he decided he wanted to be able to breath fire, so he sought out a plant to give him this power. However, once he ate the plant his body ignited, and he was turned into a vicious dragon. Bent on becoming a more threatening force, he combined powers with four other dragons, making them all become nearly invincible, until the day when they were defeated by a powerful foe. The knight sealed Darkfire Dragon's soul inside a sword. This sword was then wielded by the Flame Swordsman.

One of my favorite cards to this day I never thought about it maybe getting an archetype but now that you've put that idea in my head I want it so bad

Oh god, its back. This thing showed up in damn near every filler arc of Duel Monsters era.

Once years ago when I was playing one of the old GX Tag Force games I set Magical Cylinders on turn one and on turn two my opponent summoned Cyber-stein, payed the 5000 life points to summon FHD, and used it to attack into the trap for game.

Fun fact, for those that don't know, the dragons that were used in Duel Monster Quest are: -Red Eyes Black Dragon -Curse of Dragon -Harpie's Pet Dragon .....and of course, the Big 5s Mythic Dragon. (Yes, Blue Eyes was also used, but it was later tributed for the fusion summon of Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon) Making these 8 dragons the perfect power boost for Dragon Master Knight, since it has base 5000 attack point, each of those dragons gave 500 additional attack points to the ultimate beast. 4000 points worth, giving Dragon Master Knight 9000 attack. Yes, Mythic Dragon is a combination of different types of dragons, each with their attributes, however their individual head forms had their power sucked into DMK, 500 points for each. Finally, its worth noting that although Curse of Dragon, along with Gaia the Fierece Knight, was used to Ritual Summon the OG Black Luster Soldier, it also had its power added to DMK.

More fusion monsters that require 5 monsters of the same type, with a conditions on the fusion materials Five Headed Dragon for DRAGONS Quintet Magician for SPELLCASTERS (5 spellcasters with different names). for WARRIORS it would probably specify that the 5 materials have to be warriors with different attributes.

I wish there was a supporting archetype for five headed dragon, that would be "dragon of elements" like Singe, dragon of elements, Noir, dragon of elements, or other dragon of elements which if you use them for a monster that mentions at least two attributes on it with at least one being their attribute and the other being any other attribute besides light or devine, they give an additional effect to that monster with there being baby and adult versions of the "dragon of elements" and there wouldn't be a light one or a devine one to prevent unnecessary chaos support, and their spell and traps are similar to the Charmers but only can be used on cards that mention at least two non light or devine attributes, and they give the pseudo archetype element a boost as well as desert twister. That would be a fun deck to experiment with in my opinion

That’s really weird, I use Future Fusion-Five Headed Dragon combo but I didn’t know Trueman did too. But I’ve never used Dragon’s Mirror with it too. 🤔 have to give that a try

this makes me think back to Paradox in Bonds Beyond Time. Paradox went getting the most powerful dragons possible and yet FGD was completely skipped over when Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes were taken. Especially when the computer had FGD so it was completely accessible to Paradox.

“Can only be destroyed in battle by a LIGHT monster…” Or a DIVINE monster. Or, you know, Raigeki.

yeah, for me, and most likely a lot of other people, 5 headed dragon was and still is a cool fusion monster. yes it has its downsides and the link dragon has a high maintenance cost, but at he end of the day, both are still really powerful cards that were at the pinnacle of power at their respective times of release given that a majority of the deck is dedicated to getting them out, helping them stay out, and protecting them from the many forms of destruction like Raigeki, banish effects, negate of their summon, etc. Overall, a great card to have for nostalgia's sake, but not much else considering how easy it is to get rid of it. Great video overall. By the way, can you please do archetype videos for the Nekroz and D/D/D's as well please. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would love to see those videos and get a ton of views. anyways keep up the great work and stay safe.

Funny thing about Blue eyes and Bahamut is that Bahamut is the father the metallic dragons of dnd which are typically order aligned and benevolent monsters as opposed to their chromatic brethren that are varying degrees of chaos/evil. Blue eyes often gets joked about looking more and more metallic/robotic over the years in new artworks but really it just cause that’s how the metal dragons of DnD are like with the platinum white dragon, Bahumut standing above all others; gold silver, bronze and copper (amongst many others)

The Mythic Dragon

3:50 the possible inspiration of blue-eyes white dragon

A DnD archetype styled around chromatic dragon's and dragon cultists focused on summoning Tiamat, the five-headed queen of evil dragons. Lots of dice rolling effects and cards that grand protection and extra effects to to five-headed dragon.

Five God Dragon!

What if the reason Joey has such good luck especially with time wizard is because time wizard was given to him by Yugi who has the power of the millennium puzzle for extra luck and also Joey had possession of some of the pieces at some points in the shows history.

Five-Headed Dragon: AKA "You're watching filler when you see this boy!" Back in the day, this monster was decent for big stats, but it's not good at all due to power creep, but it's still memorable.

That 2006 card was couterfeited so much back then

4kids could absolutely not get enough of this five headed annoyance lol! the big five twice, and again in grand championship , then AGAIN in capsule monsters!

I wish they made each Dragonhead their own monster like they have a entire body to themselves

0:08 Utopia the Lightning: Nice joke… Wait, you’re serious…?

this video transported me to the past...it's official, nostalgia sells...

This has actually been of my most favorite monsters from when I first played, simply because I thought it looked really cool, LOL.

So FHD was a reference to Tiamat while Blue Eyes may be a reference to Bahamut. That sounds really cool but now I am imaging what would happened if Kaiba met Bahamut and HE became his ace or Taimat. What am I talking about Kaiba's soul would never allow any other dragon to steal his heart other then Kisara I mean Blue Eyes lol. Still very interesting trivia TGS!

Ah Elemental HERO Neos. He just loves charging in to punch his enemies, even if they are a sky scraper in size comparison to him.

It’s appearance in Capsule Monsters was a little strange from what I remember since it had a rocky earth head instead of the metal one

YES!! MORE VIDEOS FROM THIS CREATOR!! My dopamine levels are now through the roof.

FGD also appeared during the Capsule Monsters arc, which was literally invincible except against the "White Dragon" i.e Blue-Eyes. It was also part of the Underworld Deck's Fusion Deck but it was never summoned.

Five Headed Dragon is such an awesome Dragon Fusion monster and it's so OP It makes its 1st debut in Duel Monsters Quest arc, then reappears in the Virtual World arc, Kaiba Land WC arc and later on Capsule Monsters arc in DM. And finally it makes its final appearance in Season 4 of GX

There were actually 3 warriors that defeated the 5 Headed Dragon in the Virtual World Arc between Yugi and Joey: -Dark Flare Knight -Mirage Knight -Dark Magician Knight

I think it would have been cool if in Battle City Joey could have taken possession of the Five Headed Dragon and used it as his "god card" in the finals.

Behemoth.. bee-hee-muth lmao thought my man was sneezing! Never heard it pronounced that way 😍

It's important to mention that each head of FHD are: - Serpent Night Dragon (Dark) - Aqua Dragon (Water) - Luster Dragon 2/Metal Dragon (Wind) - Meteor Dragon (Earth) - Darkfire Dragon / Tyrant Dragon (Fire)

with its full effect, it may be worth it as a game closer, but not a sustained duel once summoned.

3:48 if anyone is curious as to the movie from where this Bahamut comes from It's Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Complete One of my favourite films (visually! Story isn't super great)

This is the old yugioh lore the vets crave.

i experimented with the link retrain a bit in Master Duel in a Dragonmaids deck as an emergency boardwipe, since the Dragonmaids themselves fulfill the attributes required of it, and can still be handy in the GY. Never really found myself in a situation where i needed it, though.

"Duel Monsters Quest" is a mix of DnD and Duel Monsters. Now if only there was a more specific inspiration for Duel Monsters Quest. Duel Monsters... Quest. With Dragons. A DnD-like game famous in Japan with... Dragons and Quest. Hmmmm. If only there was a game with Dragon... Quest.

I love using the FHD and Future Fusion mixed with Red Eyes Wyvern to summon Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon. Toss in Pot of Avarice and you get a nice set up.

Ah, Bahamut and Tiamat... that takes me back. Now if only there was an Io equivalent because Io was the dragon creator deity.

I would like an archetype explained on the despia, branded, tri brigade, springan and swordsoul as I think it is rather interesting but I can't get an explanation anywhere else. Thanks for all the work you put in I'm every thing you produce and I will always support your work

I had no idea It was inspired by anything related to Dungeons & Dragons as well as Blue Eyes White Dragon. Insane!

i know it would a hell of long video, but i would love to see one about the blackwing archetype, it's my main archetype

Honestly, I have the Link version in my current Super Quant deck basically as a last resort, where the idea is to use Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus's graveyard trigger effect to summon back to the field three Super Quantal Mech Beast monsters from the graveyard, and the quick play spell card Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal to summon one Super Quantal Mech Beast from the Extra Deck and a corresponding Super Quantum monsters from the Main Deck on the field in the event of Great Magnus's destruction. That gives me the 5 material necessary to summon Five-Headed Link Dragon, although it doesn't get the bonus field clearing effect through this method, since it pretty much guarantees that it would only get the Fire, Water, and Wind attribute out of the five necessary, as there would basically always be a Light attribute in the mix.

I feel like 5 headed link dragon is like a "I need something to be stronger than there boss monster" and probably for late game plays

"nice dragon you have there, would be a shame if it were to turn into a giant turtle"

Man F.G.D. was my jam on the GBA game "Yu-Gi-Oh GX duel academy" Surprisingly easy to bring out after a few turns (games were often longer back then) through masked dragon recruiting more on death and a few 2k defense dragons...

While the rest of the heads are made of fire, water, earth, wind, and darkness, I think the body itself is made of light.

Five headed dragon is one of the strongest dragons, but sadly it’s not safe from card effects that can either destroy it or any effect that can at least stop it from attacking.

Hey, been bouncing this custom card idea around for a while on KZfaq, you think this would be good in the actual game?: _Seven-Headed Pendulum Dragon_ (DARK) Level 12 Pendulum effect: _During either turn, You may banish any number of Dragon or Wyrm monsters with different attributes from your hand, field or GY; activate the following effect(s) depending on the attribute(s) of the monster banished, you can then special summon this card from your pendulum zone, ignoring its summoning conditions, after this effect resolves (You may only use each of these effects once per turn, and you cannot attack this turn):_ ⚫️: FIRE Destroy 1 card on the field⚫️: WATER return 1 card from either GY to its owners hand, OR gain 4000 LP⚫️: WIND shuffle 1 card in either players hand into their deck⚫️ EARTH: Target 1 facedown card on the field; It cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect until the end of this turn⚫️ DARK: Negate the effects of 1 card on the field until the end of this turn⚫️ LIGHT: 1 card on the field gains original ATK and/or DEF equal to the ATK or DEF of the monster banished (your choice) ⚫️ DIVINE: Flip all other cards on the field facedown; immediately afterwards special summon 1 Divine-Beast monster from your hand, deck or GY, ignoring its summoning conditions. Pendulum Scale: *0* [Dragon/Pendulum/Fusion/Effect] 7+ Dragon or Wyrm Monsters _Must either be fusion summoned with the above cards or pendulum summoned. This card cannot be destroyed, except by DIVINE monsters and battle by LIGHT monsters. Once per turn (quick effect), you may place this card in your pendulum zone. Once per turn (quick effect), you can change the type and/or attribute of 1 or more monsters on the field or in your hand. You may banish up to 9 cards from your extra deck (quick effect); choose one of the following effects for every 3 cards you banish (until the beginning of the second turn after you activate this effect, cards placed/summoned/set onto the field by this effect have their effects negated and cannot attack):_ ⚫️Place any number of pendulum monsters from your hand or extra deck into your pendulum zone(s). You can only use this effect once per turn. ⚫️Special summon up to 3 pendulum monsters to your main monster zones from your hand or extra deck. You can only use this effect twice per turn _This card cannot attack the turn you use this effect._ ATK/5000 DEF/5000

When I was playing around with a Charmer's deck and had some pendulum mechanics in it, Link Dragon was it's finisher and actually got the 5 element effect to go off a few times. By no means a completive deck, but was still fun.

First, you forgot to mention that Tiamat and Bahamet are ancient mesopotamian god's. But back to the point at hand, this monster was never really designed to work. It is essentially a sort of final boss for the anime characters to struggle against before being triumphant. That being said, it does need more love, of the "easier to summon and maintain" support card variety.

one of the coolest monsters I feel back in the most early days.

I think an overpowered combo that’s definitely already been done is in the deck, have a continuous spell/trap card that makes all monsters on the field one attribute that isn’t light, and then hope and pray your opponent doesn’t have a card that can touch your spell/trap zone

These are amazing. Love your yugioh trivia so much. Very informative. I wonder if at some point the gusto archetype would come though. One of my favorites

Some seriously though, I was expecting the 5 head God Dragon to has related to a Pendulum mechanic or maybe even having an Exceed Counterpart.

The dragon original series loved using in filler arcs. Virtual world arcs, Grand Championship and even Capsule Monsters

can you do a yugioh trivia for supreme king? its my second favorite archetype and i love your videos

I like using it with Borreload savage because I can either send it to the grave for an even bigger beatstick, or keep it there if I have the cost. Bit slow, but it's fun to pull off.

To answer your question about FHLD, yes, it is worth it. The only way to destroy it is to use a stronger light monster, or to empty your opponent's graveyard. It can easily turn the tide of a duel when you play it and your opponent doesn't know what to do about it. I've won several duels using FHLD in my Armed Dragon deck

Closest thing to the Senju's Several Hundred Hands wood style avatar 🔥🌊🌎🌪🌑

Hey sam, I have been loving your archetype series and I have been binging it for 3 weeks now. I would love to see Chronomaly and D/D/D archetypes as they refer to history

I have a (i think) bootlegged version of FHD, got it from along with the majority of my collection from a flea market for like 1 dollar....love it, which reminds me that I need to finish making/improving my FHD deck.

Tiamat and Bahamut are my favorite DnD deities. I actually JUST used an avatar of Bahamut to punish my party of murder hobo players. They indiscriminately attacked and robbed traveling NPCs so I send an old man with 7 yellow canaries(polymorphed gold dragons) their way and wrecked shop lol

the sacred cards hit me with nostalgia there
