Ah, anime Winged Dragon of Ra. Its real effect was that its owner could invent new effects for it for every subsequent match.

I miss being a child and believing Gate Guardian was an Exodia tier card. Even though he essentially needed 7 tributes for a vanilla. Valkyrion? Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth? Flawless strategies tbh.

My favourite thing about Darkness Neosphere is because of how card names work, it technically counts as a NEOS card meaning you can use it as material to make Divine Neos, the card that Jaden used to beat it in the anime.

Supreme King Z-ARC is like Winged Dragón of Ra 2.0 when it comes the number of effects. One of the most unfun BOSS monsters.

Even with all the Ra stuff, you even forgot one of the missing effects. In the anime, Ra’s original ATK is the combined ATK of the monsters tributed to summon it. It was similar to the Maju Garzet cards in the way. It was such a shock to learn they left that out. That was like, the FIRST effect you ever see Ra using.

In the Anime, Divine Serpent Geh could only be beaten by a monster with more than Infinity attack. In the TCG, you only need something bigger than 2200 to clear it away entirely. We all know why.

I don't understand why they haven't erata'd the God cards to give them protections from targeting and destruction when so many other boss monsters have them. These are the gods!

You'd think the Egyptian God cards would have both targeting and destruction protection given their summoning requirements but nope.

i will never get over the fact 9 year old me was so hyped at the idea of getting ra in the actual game thinking im gonna be able to do all of that anime shit, then years later after actually getting into the game, we got poor man's ra

the dark synchro version of Hundred Eyes Dragon is probably more broken than Heraldry Crest, since it copies the effects of all dark monsters in your grave, so you dont even need to summon the monsters whose effects you want to stack or copy. it even floats into any card in the game.

you forgot cno88 disaster leo in anime it can remove overlay to deal 4000 damage(with anime hp being 4000 it's literally a otk every turn) and the win condition is just not having overlay in the end phase which is stupidly easy to cheese

You forgot the part of Anime Ra where it’s attack/defense is equal to the combined attack/defense of the monsters used to tribute summon it.

I would like to point out that the first effect of ra "requires 3 tributes, but only the chosen ones can control it" is reflected in sphere mod, since it can be summoend to either players field by tributing 3 monsters from their field, but only the original owner can use it, since it shifts control during the end phase

If these monsters had their original effects, they would be absolutely broken.

Little surprised to not see Gate Guardian on here. I know it got the retrain(s) but it still went from this impossibly high attack with destruction immunity (three times) in battle to just a beat stick with a summoning condition.

If they just allowed player to choose how many LP they give to Ra's attack so we can use it second effect. At least it is gonna become playable imo

Man... I would love an actual Dark Neosphere style archetype. Konami would have to bring it in line with the actual rules and current meta, but it would be interesting. I'm kinda curious what sort of effects the O/TCG versions would have if they did make them.

Happy to be on this list 😊 They did me, and the rest of Master Dartz’s deck, extremely dirty.

Can we get a part 2 this? Very interesting seeing the difference between anime cards and the tcg ones.

Im suprised you didnt mention Supreme king Z-ARC (Hao-keryu Z-ARC). Please, I love videos like these, do more.

Would be interesting to see if the opposite actually exists, boss/ace monsters that were kind of underwhelming or just average in the anime but then got buffed in the actual game, or perhaps had some kind of interaction that never came up in the anime, but made the monster really powerful. Though obviously you have to ignore support that was later added to an archetype and focus on what was possible at the time it was released. Only example I can think of right now (as someone who has only watched OG Yugioh and half of GX) is Jinzo, who was strong in the anime, but in the actual game was kind of game-warping since it made trap cards that much worse for such a long time.

should definitely do a part 2, this video was super enjoyable

Top 10 Cards to use with lair of darkness Top 10 cards that tribute your opponent's monsters(s) (kaijus count as one entry) Top 10 Equip Spells (no banned cards)

Idea for a future video, top five or 10 decks whose effects simulate or represent the deck's theme. Decks like F.A., Vaylantz, Suships, etc. I think it could be really neat taking a look at the decks that work the way they do as a representation of their archetype and utilize the game's mechanics in unique and interesting ways.

Have you thought about making a top ten anime exclusive spells and traps? You could include such greats as the pillager, the time machine, and defense paralysis.

I believe in ra text where it says where its talking about all shall be incinerated is a reference to its counterpart..The Immortal Phoenix. It died but it always rises and with its effect incinerates its opponent as its literally fire around its body and it uses it when attacking

meklord astro mekanikle's nerf was just tragic, it's barely even usable now because it requires ONLY cards from the hand and not the field rather than a generic tribute or special summon, which means it has no synergy with obbligato or meklord army of skiel for some baffling reason. the summoning condition defies the way the rest of the archtype plays

would a top 10 of duel logs’ favourite cards/archtypes be possible? curious about your yugioh story

Duel Links actually does allow you to use the whole "Ra gets the combined attack power of its three tributes" effect. It's not game-breaking in the least, but at least there's that.

Missed out on talking about Sephylon. Its anime version let it summon as many Timelords to the field as possible and gave them all 4000 atk, while also boosting its own atk by 4000 for each Timelord. Also, if it would be destroyed, it could destroy one of the other Timelords instead

forgot to put : - Number C88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo (anime) - Supreme King Z-arc (Anime) - Obelisk (Yu-Gi-Oh! R)

Wiraquocha Rasca might be an good addition to Floowandereeze If one doesn't have all the usual Boss Monsters they use on average

Meklords in the anime are so funny. The fact that they are 5 monsters makes them insanely bricky if the duels weren't written to give themselves the self-pop effect traps to proc the field swarming effect of the parts.

There's something kind of anime-nostalgic about the idea of a card or skill that effectively forces your opponent to OTK you by resetting your lifepoints to 4000 at the end of every turn. Kind of ironic as in modern Yugioh, I don't think that would be that broken even in Duel Links as most duels tend to end with you OTKing from 4000. but it may floodgate you from winning if all your bosses are in the grave and you're chipping each other's paint. Still aromages exist so it's not too rediculous to mathematically deal with at least 2 turns of damaging your opponent for at least 4K. Still I wouldn't be against a card like that existing. I don't even think the card would be all that good unless your deck revolves around spending your own life points constantly and even then, only on the end phase, but I could see it being used for fun.

Like pretty much anything made about anime Ra, I'm pretty sure an effect was forgotten here. Anime Ra gains the combined attack and defence of its tributes. Which was relevant in one duel, since no except Mai bothered tributing monsters to bring out Ra.

Arguable as to wheter or not it is a "BOSS" monster But Raidraptor Rise Falcon He went from gaining the ATK of ALL special summoned monster to just one target On a side note, Topologic Gumblar was nerfed Both his effects went from nuking both hands to discarding two His 3k nuke can now be negated He lost his Extra Link effect destruction Immunity (that he gives to all your Link Monsters) He got slapped by a hard 1/Turn for any of his effects Granted, there's no way anyone sane would ever have released him unerfed

You forgot Ancient Chant's graveyard effect gives Ra the ATK and DEF of the monsters used to summon it to give it the "Ra shall acquire the POWER of three tributes" part and Sun God Unification for "By offering the Ritual of Revival and his own life, one shall be united with God" part Aside from that another 10/10 video. Good stuff my guy

I think you're missing the anime version of Utopia Beyond, which had an effect where it just makes your whole field unaffected by card effects. Also with it having battle immunity against non Number XYZ monster this would be a nightmare to get rid of.

Number iC1000 would be a good pick for this list. The OCG/TCG pretty faithfully adapted its effects, giving it its nearly insurmountable ATK, Alt Win Con, and Draining Shield, but excluded all of its immunities, making it so much easier to remove from the field.

The Sacred Beasts themselves were nerfed pretty heavily in TCG compared to their anime versions

Another card that could have been on the list is Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord. In the anime, I think it had an effect where it was unaffected by your opponent’s card effects and couldn’t be destroyed by battle. It also gained 1000 ATK for each Exodia piece in your graveyard and if you got all 5 pieces in your graveyard, you won the duel.

What about the reverse? The top 10 cards from the anime that were _buffed_ in the TCG? I'd argue that Jinzo would fall into that category because negating trap cards and their activations instead of negating and destroying them means that those cards are clogging up the back row.

"I hope we hit a Tear." Seeing that written in made me realize how scary Geh would be if un-nerfed.

Was that cimoooo's face in chain burn during the earthbound immortal section?

3:00 - The 'Ancient Text' doesn't even cover everything Ra did in the Anime - here's a List of its Many Effects (I may have even Missed some!): • This Card Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon; • It Cannot be Destroyed by Spell/Trap Cards or Effects, and Spell/Trap Effects with lasting Effects cease to affect it at the End of the Turn they are Activated; • If Special Summoned from the Graveyard, send the Card to its Owner's Graveyard at the End of that Turn (All these first Effects apply to Every One of the Egyptian God Cards); • When Normal Summoned, Ra appears in its Sphere Mode, Reciting the Ancient Chant known mostly by the Pharaohs can Release Ra into its Original Mode; • After successfully Releasing it, Ra has Original ATK and DEF equal to the Total ATK of the Monsters Tributed; • Once per Turn you can pay 1000 LP to Destroy 1 Monster your Opponent Controls; • You can reduce your LP to 1 (would be 100 in OCG/TCG Rulings), and increase Ra's ATK by the amount of LP Lost (in the Anime, this also meant Fusing your Body and Soul with Ra's, and could thus be De-Fused to Reverse this effect - dropping Ra's ATK to 0 and adding that many LP to the Player); • When Special Summoned from your Graveyard, you can change Ra into its Phoenix Mode, giving it 4000 ATK and DEF for that Turn (as this wouldn't require a separate Card, the Turn-End Sacrifice still applies)... And that's only from the First few Duels it was actually used in - I haven't included anything past the Battle City Finals, so other Seasons might’ve included Additional Effects I haven't mentioned, but these were the Main ones (that were sometimes Ignored for Convenience, like the Sphere Mode).

Speaking of Wiracocharasqa (didn't check the spelling); if a player has 1 LP and he activates a card with a "Pay half your life points" cost, what happens ? Is the activation "free" (and he stays at 1LP) or does the player's LP reduce to 0; or more simply, a player cannot activate a card with such a condition if he has 1 LP left ?

Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord also got a huge nerf Official Effect: Can only be special summoned from your hand if you have 10 or more monsters in your gy. Once per turn you can special summon a level 8 or higher fairy type monster from your gy, but its effects are negated and its atk becomes 4000. Anime: Can only be special summoned by the effect of Infinite Light. Once per turn, you can special summon any number of Timelord monsters from your hand, deck or graveyard and their atk becomes 4000. This card gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of all other Timelord monsters on your field. Negate the effects of any monster that battles with this card. If this card would be destroyed by battle or card effect: you can remove from play one of your other Timelord monsters you control instead, and you take no battle damage if this effect was activated during the damage step.

Make a “failed cards, etc.” video on naturia please! Also, how about a “top 10 cards NEVER restricted in any way, but were widely considered to be hit on a banlist” (ex. Dante)

I thought that Ra had an effect where it gained the attack and defense of the cards that were tributed to summon it.

No matter how much support we get, i will never forgive the absolute slaughtered of Ra. And how all 3 didnt have obelisk protection.

Dark Master: Zorc was one that came to mind in the nerf topic.

Heraldry Crest is one of my favourite number monsters of all time and I prefer its anime counterpart because it was pretty good

The first hidden Ra effect made it to Duel Links at least as the skill "Power of the Tributed".

I'm not complaining, but damn daily videos? Color me surprised, and grateful

With Thor in the anime it also revives no matter who destroys it. You can destroy it yourself and it will revive so it's a good way to dodgy your opponents removal to self nuke it with a trap cars

If you haven't done it already, could you do the "Top 10 Level 8 Synchro Monsters?"

You should do top 10 numbers monsters that would be banned if they had their anime effects (can’t be destroyed by any except numbers)

I forgot the card was called winged dragon of ra. I've been calling it ultra mega Chicken for years

“Divine Serpent…why are you Geh?”

You missed a pretty good one. Exodia Necros. In the TCG is just a beat stick with no protection. In anime, however, it gains effects from cards in the graveyard that make it Unkillable.

I think a good list would be which character from the anime boss monster did the best in the actual TCG

I mean, even if you skip the battle phase, you can just do burn damage to them, like if it doesn't skip main phase 2 even sparks will work, if not, set secret barrel, summon the bird, skip battle phase, and then flip barrel on card draw

Apoq. Towers is basically what the god cards tried to be, barring the archtype lock

Dark rebellion xyz dragon also got a nerf from anime to tcg in the anime you can use 1 material steal half a monsters attack then you can do it again so you can use it twice but in the tcg you remove both materials to steal half a single monsters attack only allowing it to be used once

Cool video.

in my opinion Ra and Slifer should have more protection like Requires 3 tributes to be normal summoned, it's normal summoned cannot be negated . Cards and Affects cannot be activated the round when summoned. Unaffected by monster effects , cannot be target by traps and spells.......

12:02 there is a face in the chain strike art, probably a reference I don't get

Please do Top 10 archetypes with multiple summoning methods, they must have more than 2 methods because almost all of the archetypes in the game received a link monster !

Im baffled by Konami's reluctance to errata the EGs. Even with their anime effects, they wouldn't pose significant issues. Just look at the new Exodia; you don't even have to pay LP, and suddenly you've got a behemoth with 8000 ATK that can negate and directly set cards from the deck, capable of wiping out all your opponent's cards. Plus, it's incredibly easy to summon.

Correction: Thor’s effect in the anime didn’t let you steal a monster. It let Thor negate an opponent’s monster’s effect and copy the effects until the End Phase. I’ve wondered something about Divine Serpent. If you can’t lose while your LP are 0 while you control it and you have to send 10 cards from the top of your deck to attack with it, couldn’t you still lose when you aren’t able to draw any more cards?

A video about cards that are weaker on the anime than their tcg counterparts would be great

You should do a "Top 10 monsters with 0 original ATK and DEF" vid

Dark Sage should've been a fusion like Thousand Dragon. It may not have fit the lore 100% but at least the card would actually be useable.

If they ever bring the Darkness cards they can simply put all her effects on the field spell and be done with it.

I went up against a sacred beast/ yubel deck and they got out Armityle I just banished it immediately after it was summoned, no protection makes it nearly useless

Top 10 cards that prevent you from conducting a Battle Phase (on the turn they are used or simply skipping said phase)

Imagine saying Ra's effect in deep sentenCes while being kicked out of the venue for using the anime effect out of nowhere.

Mentioning Astro Mekanikle and not mentioning Astro Dragon Asterisk... That card would've been a beast in TCG.

it is quite interesting how the 3 god cards were powerful in the series with ra being by far the most powerful only to become weak cards with ra being by far the weakest. it really is interesting seeing just how much of a reversal it had from the show to the game

I thought dark sage could activate magic/trap cards from the deck as a quick play.

Winged Dragon of Ra, I’m lookin at you!

Take a sip of water or juice for how ever many times DuelLogs said Darkness this video

Why Konami put so much restrictions on Malefics during the combo era of Yugioh is beyond me.

This concept actually makes me mad when Konami drops the ball

BTW Dimension Fusion Destruction was made into a real card as well.

Top 10 cards for unlocking doors with

Dark sage would be better if it still counted as dark magician so you could add dark magic attack with its effect or something (itd be even better if it was a extra deck monster so you don’t brick)

Second place being my boi is one of my favorite things. We need more (better/playable) heraldic beast support.

I feel like the TCG don't even need boss monsters to be broken af

12:02 is that cimoo ?

Feels like during the gx era i got robbed from watching the whole series, because everything passed neos i know nothing about

Anime Winged Dragon of Ra is the ultimate OP card in Yugioh DM and I love Yami Marik 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Dinomorphia players will thank Goodwin for summoning wiraquocha rasca against them

Honestly. Geh should always have the highest attack on the field and be immune to something- destruction probably. It’s a lot like the wicked avatar but that’s fine imo

Anime Arrival + Gatchiri was the TRUE TCG nerfs.

Next video needs to include Topologic Gumblar Dragon as n.10

Retrain ideas Winged Dragon of Ra- Cannot be special summoned. Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). Your opponent cannot activate cards in response to the Normal Summon. This card cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. When Normal Summoned you pay until you have 1000 LP; this card gains ATK/DEF equal to the amount of LP paid. For every 1000 LP paid destroy that many cards and gain 500 LP depending on how many cards were destroyed. (quick effect) Pay 1000 LP to remove a card from the field. Slifer the Sky Dragon- Cannot be special summoned. Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). Your opponent cannot activate cards in response to the Normal Summon. This card cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. When Normal Summoned draw cards until you have as many in your hand and field as your opponent. Gain 1000 ATK/DEF for each card in your hand. Reduce the ATK/DEF of your opponents monsters by 1000 for each card and if 0/0 negate their effects while this card is on the field. Obelisk the Tormentor- Cannot be special summoned. Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). Your opponent cannot activate cards in response to the Normal Summon. When Normal Summoned draw three cards. This card is immune to each type of card (monster, spell, trap) drawn by this effect. If this card destroys a monster by battle, destroy one other card your opponent controls or in their hand. Not completely broken while making their effects worth it. Ra is able to use its destruction effect, Slifer manipulates hand size, Obelisk still torments your opponents monsters without having to tribute.

How do you know Malefic Rainbow Dragon can gain ATK and send cards to the deck if it didn't do it in the movie?

I think Supreme King Z-ARC should be here as well.

7:20 we need new supports for dark sage.
