A few months ago, I wondered if Tyler was still alive, and i am so happy that he is alive

I cannot believe this. So excited to see what happens.

This is genuinely amazing. At first I was kind of sad that he was considering selling it but hearing Tyler talk about his aspirations and future with what he would do with the money from the card. I realized thats what the real gift of the card was. It was a memory of him beating his illness and having the ability to turn it into a future that he could give to those he cares about. Absolutely brilliant and heartwarming. Tyler truly is a great warrior.

They really did bring back the auction series! This video was heartwarming. Thank you everyone who worked on this.

It's really heartwarming to think about Kazuki Takahashi just taking time out of his day to just make a kids day like this. Rest in Peace King of Games, it's moments like this that keeps his legendary legacy alive that much more.

As someone who has a 4 year old daughter going through chemotherapy treatment for leukemia, this story truly warms my heart with tears in my eyes. May 17, 2023, is her last treatment, and she gets to ring the bell. Oddly enough, her name is Akiza, so to me, it goes well with this story. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤ May Tyler get everything he wants and more from his card and continue living his life cancer free. 🙌

This is so fucking cool. Like I’ve seen the card and heard the gist of the story but getting to know it more in-depth, this is one of the best things to happen in the games history. Congratulations Tyler and rip to the GOAT Takahashi.

Honestly a little sad to see him selling it, but I can't fault him for his decision. Thank you for helping to share the story ❤

this makes me a bit sad knowing that Kazuki is not with us anymore. his art was so unique and iconic

Honestly despite not really being involved in yugioh as much as I was back then, the just legendary status of this card never left my mind. It’s so great seeing Tyler looking forward in life to more, and the fact that he’s willing to part with the card to bring someone else joy is just such a beautiful full circle. Regardless of if he’s in possession of the card or not, he will always be Tyler THE Great Warrior.

This was an amazing video...damn, I almost cried. I've only heard about the story of Tyler the Great Warrior and its link to Make a Wish, but hearing about it from the person himself and how he beat his disease is inspiring. God bless him in his future endeavors, and whoever ends up buying that card, you better take care of it. That card is a piece of history, a piece of someone's life, and its a memory of Takahashi himself.

...Alright, MBT selling this as hard as he did during his stream Monday makes WAY more sense now.

Very fun project to be a part of. Thanks for sharing this experience with us ! See you at the auction :)

It really touches my heart to know that Takahashi-sensei drew the artwork. I'm sure he must have been happy to see a boy from across the globe love his work so much that he wanted to become part of it. And he probably got a little chuckle out of seeing the obvious Dragonball influence, since I'm sure he knew Toriyama-sensei in person. Now that we know what became of Takahashi-sensei, that he died trying to save a child from drowning, all I can think is that he must have loved kids and wanted them to be happy and healthy. He must have been so happy to Tyler beat the cancer! RIP Takahashi-sensei, and to Tyler, thanks for doing the interview and I hope you have a long and healthy life like Takahashi-sensei would have wanted for you! And I hope the card sells for a lot so you can enjoy a nice vacation and have a good nest egg for starting a family!

Man. Not only is Tyler an absolute warrior, but also such a kind heart to part with such a valuable piece of history to continue on its legacy for others to enjoy. What a total legend, and hope Tyler lives a long and happy life.

RIP Kazuki Takahashi

You know, when you posted a couple of days ago that you would be reporting on one of the most significant events in Yugiohs history today, I kinda thought you were memeing and was doing something silly with MBT. But this delivered. Thanks for telling this story the way it deserves to be told. Best of luck to Tyler in his future endeavors, and may the heart of the cards be with you, just as you are in our hearts.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!! KNOWING IT WAS COMING AND SOME OF THE DETAILS LIKE THE UNIQUE ARTS HAS HAD ME SO EXCITED! GREAT STUFF!

I would never want to detract from the uniqueness of the original Tyler, but it would be such a treasure for the community to get Takahashi's alternate Tyler art printed.

As a lifelong Yu-Gi-Oh fan, I have always respected and prized this card. If there was any way I could afford it, I would be all over this thing. Bless him for letting it go, I understand the idea of releasing yourself to pursue your future. And it's so awesome you guys are giving him and his story this voice now. I had a ton of fun watching this, please keep us updated with what goes on

I'm a Make a Wish kid and my wish was to become a Chef. And to this day I get to live my wish everyday for the rest of my life. I still cook in restaurants to this day. I constantly remember this wish when I tell my story. Because just like Tyler this is a wish that will last a lifetime. Make A Wish is amazing in so many ways. I'm grateful to them!

I've always wondered if Tyler was okay and this is a real heartwarming reminder that he survived and kept going

Well frankly it looks like the real Tyler is more immune to destruction than his card. What a fantastic video, story, everything. Also had no idea there was only 1 copy, I thought one was for Tyler and the other was for storage or something. It's absolutely heartwarming that he's using it as a springboard to starting a business and family.

Not gonna lie, hearing he was selling the card upset me at first. I thought "this was his wish and he should cherish it". But after hearing his reasoning behind parting ways with it, I couldn't have been more wrong! He wants to start a family, own a business, and most importantly live his life! There's no greater miracle that Make A Wish could've given him than the ability to live his life! I hope Tyler gets everything he could ever want from this ❤

Alex this was an incredible video, loved learning about the history behind the card and that Tyler's now able to use it to elevate his life!

This was a very amazing and very emotional documentary. Well done, Alex.

We need a live stream Q&A and discussion with MBT and Gage to talk about everything that went into this

Happy to see Tyler alive and well and moving on with his life. Also excited to see the card move forward into a new life, hopefully to give it all the respect it deserves!

well covered story, thank you cimo and thank you tyler and may he have much strength for his life. beautiful story and strong individual!

If Tyler puts up the draft artworks for auction, they may bring in a good amount of $, too. Especially since we will absolutely NEVER get anymore artwork from the legendary Kaz. 😭😭😭

It still tickles me that Tyler was a Junior Journey staple. Great video

I remember hearing about this legendary card back when I was still playing the game in the 2000's. I've always been fascinated by the history of it. While it is bittersweet to see Tyler part with his one of a kind card, the reasons are understandable. I wish luck to him and the person who will carry the legacy on.

Truly, my heart is flowing with inspiration, joy, and love. Tyler, I feel so privileged to have worked all those days with you at HB serving family and children inn the spectrum. I count myself so blessed to call you friend. I love you and am so proud of you! You are an inspiration, a light and make my life better for knowing you! May the Lord contribute flourishing through you touching lives and hearts one day at a time. I pray favor upon your Warrior journey encouraging other folks along the way. Blessings upon blessings, all my love🙏🏻🎚♥️

This is such an awesome documentary on how this card came to be and about the people who were involved in it! I wish Tyler nothing but the best for his future and I really hope the card ends up it good hands. This moment will forever go down in Yugioh history and I am overjoyed that we got to witness it with this video!! Thank you Cimo and everyone who made it happen!

凄い！ このカードが本当に実在し、こんなに綺麗な状態で保管されているとは思いませんでした

I can't believe this happened. You never cease to surprise me Cimoooooooo. Props to you for putting this together and actually giving us an in-depth look into the history of this legendary card.

Love this! This also seems to dispell the rumor that there is a second copy that Konami owns.

insane, great video. his quote about wanting more worldly experiences resonates so hard, you only have one life to live and as much joy that card and the process brought him i am so glad he is still here today with us wanting to use that card to allow him to explore life. i hope tyler gets to see everything he wants to and then some

Cimo this video could not have been any better. Thank you for this amazing documentation of this story that we have longed for. I hope Tyler gets at least one million dollars for this.

What an insanely well-produced documentation of one of the most iconic moments in Yu-Gi-Oh history. It was so cool to see Tyler and hear his story. He seems like a really chill dude. You knocked this video out of the park Alex. You and everyone involved with the project should be very proud.

Congratulations Tyler on beating the cancer and and on just getting to have a card printed and having it be such a big part of the games history! I hope whoever gets this card does cherish it because the significance it holds is just truly amazing!

This is absolutely insane and I never thought I would see the day. Thank you so much Cimo for truly doing justice for this legendary story.

So a couple of corrections, 2 of this card actually exist, Konami Japan has a copy also. There is also the Millennium Thousand-Eyes Virus owned by Kevin Tewart.

Surprised nobody mentions Tyler wearing the Supreme Snow white long sleeve; classic piece

Card was just sold on ebay for over 300,000$ Insane

This is so awesome. Great content Cimo! It's awesome to see Tyler today and hear his perspective

Couldnt be the only one wondering if he was even still alive, glad to hear hes doing okay, really hope the card goes to the right person

HELL YEAH CIMMOOOO!

Nice work Cimo, this is fantastic for the community and great to hear the story from Tyler

I only just recently learned about the existence of Tyler the Great Warrior and just said wow that's amazing. But now, to actually hear the full story behind it from Tyler himself and to see it become what it is today. This is just incredible and so heartwarming. I can't express how much this has moved me, so I love the game even more now. Thank you Cimo for making this amazing video, truly thank you!!

The quality and production of this video was crazy good. I've been playing since the beginning and truly thought it was a rumor or just a story. Its really cool to see this card surface.

This is one of the most important videos for Yugioh, thank you for taking us on this incredible journey

NGL, the Gage comment on cracking it to re-grade was top tier.

Damn that hurts that it got a "near mint" rating. I was hoping for that 10 too hahaha. Even gage's 9.5 was overly optimistic I guess.

Card Grader: You're Tyler the Great Warrior. Tyler: You're goddamn right.

WHOA! IT'S THE TYLER THE GREAT! Tyler's card is 10/10 Grade. It's a legend like A God Card.

What an amazing video! The beginning monologue in the video really captures Tyler’s wish to move on from the card and enjoy his life. Make-a-wish truly did something special!

That was fantastic. Didn’t catch on until the end that the song is a lofi version of the OG YGO theme. You & your team really knocked it out of the park!

Bro it got a 7!!!!! The seven dragon balls!!!! Fuck yeah Grandpa Gohan would be proud

Wow. This is amazing. Spectacular story and spectacular documentary YOOOOO! GAGE IS HERE TOO! THE DYNAMIC DUO!

I love that Cimooos wife just stands there in the background while boys talk about a trading card. Its just funny to me for no reason.

Puuuh as always top notch! I really like how Alex and Gage collaborate outside of their series!

What a monumental moment in the history of the game that we love. So good to witness this with you all. Cheers, Alex.

This man really took Tyler The Great Warrior out of the pressure case with no gloves. Been touched by human hands now that’s for sure.

He... he talked to him face-to-face. The mad lad talked with Tyler... Praise the Cimoooooooo !!

Holy shirtballs. This story absolutely had me fascinated as a kid, and even kinda started my interest in custom cards. This whole vid is amazing!

Speechless. This whole emotion is why I firmly believe my love for Yu-Gi-Oh! is going to die after me or together with. Thank you Cimo for this documented historical moment and unbelievable viewing experience.

Much love to everyone involved in this documentary. This was a piece of YGO history I never knew before today.

Wow. Big props to Cimo and assumingly Gage for putting this together. I've always wondered about Tyler and where he is today. Very cool to see this documentary.

I really hope the auction is getting Tyler the money for a good foundation of a good life. And i really hope whoever buys it values it as high as this card deserves it. Man i would really wish it would be accessible to the public in the yugioh museum in tokyo but it is okay if it is not.

You guys won’t believe this but Tyler The Great Warrior was bought by a TCG store here in Colombia South America!

This is dope. It’s like seeing the lore come to life and knowing this happen. Glad Tyler is here

He can also sell the artwork he was given too. Probably get a lot for those as well.

This video clearly answered a question I had in my head: is a 10 grade the best version of the card in existence or the best possible version of the card that could theoretically exist. It’s clearly the latter, because otherwise this card would need to have been a 10 regardless of grading.

I knew a little of this story, it is amazing. I hope you guys can come up with some decks that would really use this card. Not even Junior Journey could use the card effectively.

Wow, this was an incredible video for an incredible story.

Thank you Alex and Gage for helping bring the entire history of this card to light. Amazing quality documentary. I was holding my breath when he pulled the card off the black surface. I wish Tyler the best in life, and hope that someone does right with this card.

This auction will undoubtedly go down in YuGiOh history

I'm not sure I really understand the point of grading Tyler the Great Warrior. It's not like a higher quality version exists.

Tyler, the Great Warrior even has an alt art. Wow This is such a great video.

This was a great video and I loved seeing Tyler talk about the card, I’m just confused why anyone felt the need to take it out of the original slab in the first place

This video was so awesome! Just pure joy and excitement! Can't wait to hear how much the card sold for. Good for Tyler!

Cimo wasn't lying, that historical event can significant

Let me put it this way card sold for half the value of a perfect graded black lotus as a 7 if that card had been a ten it likely would have been the single highest selling card of all time. There is no other peice of cardboard with the history rarity and humanity tied to it.

Future Trunks the Yugioh Card

Amazing. I remember reading about this in high school and thinking... man... this card will never see the light of day. I truly hope this hits record numbers and shatters all expectations! Good luck Tyler!

11:15 strong Nathan Fielder influence

This is so sick. History in the making, cannot wait to see what comes of this auction. Thank you everyone for an amazing documentary!!

The Kotaku article quoted Tyler as saying, "As far as I know, nobody’s touched it with their bare hands" but this video clearly shows it being touched with bare hands 😂😂😂

That was lit. I really don't get what's the point of grading a one of a kind piece like this. "Oh look at this Mona Lisa, it was kept outside of its sleeve for sure, 7/10. Hopefully I'd find a better copy on eBay".

I always loved the story behind this card so lovely, how cimo even managed to track Tyler down I don’t know but it’s great

This brought a tear to my eye. Tyler's story is heartwarming. Thanks for doing this Cimo, you bring the true spirit of Yugioh through your videos!

What a phenomenal story. Thanks so much for making this. I feel like so many of us grew up knowing of this card and wondering if Tyler was still around or his own fate. I'm happy to see he's doing well, and while a bit of the magic will seemingly be gone when it changes hands, it's at least his decision and that's the way it ultimately should be.

What a fantastic video. Cimo and Gage were the perfect content creators to curate this because they truly understood the magnitude of this moment in the games history. One of the best you've ever made Alex, thank you for sharing

So much love and respect went into this video! I'm glad to see Tyler is doing well and see another great contribution from Takahasi. RIP you amazing King of Games!

Why did this make me so emotional??? Great video!

Wow just started watching and I can't believe we've never had more docu style videos about yugioh on youtube. Love it.

I’m sorry but the fact that the grader took the card out of the case first without sterile gloves and then put it into a penny sleeve, he should be responsible for any damage below a 10. That was disgusting and I’m ashamed to know that Beckett would have this card be graded without basic standard precautions

This is the biggest video ever uploaded to KZfaq about Yugioh. Congratulations Cimoooo, Gage and everyone associated to this! 🎉

Truly a heartwarming experience. I like that Cimo took this opportunity to make this a short documentary. I think that they did a really good job. Though on a funny side, I can't help but think that someone would want to buy it and then make the Kaiba move like with the Blue-eyes. I truly hope that the people that end up possessing this card will truly cherish it.
