Exodia's only weakness The ocean

"So, how did you win the tournament?" "I... drew cards"

Imagine exodia appearing in the modern yu-gi-ho! anime, imagine the villan plays all these crazy monster: syncro, fusion, xyz, pendulum and link and then the protagonist just goes: *no* and draws exodia

"...there are no pathetic cards..." *laughs in 1st generation normal monster*

An anecdote of my childhood, regarding Exodia Necross. When the episode was released (where he was summoned and explained in the anime), i was baffled at how strong he was. Can't be destroyed in ANY WAY! No monster effects, no battle, no spells, no traps. IT WAS CRAZY! I was watching the episode with my mom. MY MOM. During that part of the episode where all seems doomed, my mom calmly told me: Why doesn't Kaiba use that card that banishes 5 cards from the graveyard? (She was thinking of Soul Release). To this day I'm still in utter disbelief that MY MOM figured out one of the easiest ways to deal with what seemed an invincible monster when it was introduced xD

Aside from dark magician or blue eyes exodia is one of the most iconic monsters in yugioh history. it is said when someone summons exodia you can still hear kaibas screams of terror

I love Exodia, these were the cards every kid wanted to hopefully get. I got all 5 pieces a few years back, dueled a tiny home tourney against my friend who had a super decked out Blue - Eyes deck. I drew the last piece, literally wiped the board clean of cards, handed him his lines to say and recited the famous "My grandpa's deck had no pathetic cards, Kaiba." it was magical.

It seems the cards follow Exxod's life. Exxod is the original, hence why it's so different, he's just a Guard, a Protector. Exodius is him after first gaining power, perhaps when he first became a "Forbidden Lord", but before he gained his massive power. This is why he has so little armor. Exodia The Forbidden One is his full power self while sealed away. Exodia Incarnate is him after he breaks free, at full power and glory. Exodia Necross would him being killed and ressurected after he managed to break free. There's also a joke-ish card called True Exodia, which seems to be a tiny mechanical robot version of Exodia, whose effect is the same as the original Forbidden One, BUT YOU LOSE IF YOU HAVE THE PIECES. Instead of an instant win, it's an instant loss.

I always assumed that Exxod is a statue of Exodia that people may have prayed to and that it came to life. That would explain why it's a rock monster

Exodia: *saves egypt* Exodia: you guys like me now? People you’re too op we hate you. Exodia: wait but- Exodia: *gets sealed*

"If you have the right leg..." W-what is the wrong leg?

Exxod is like the cousin no one talks about at family reunions.

"I have an army" "We have an Exodia" *"EXODIA SMASH"*

exodia, the limited one

I remember back in the day there was a rumor that Dark Magician and four other spellcasters were responsible for sealing him away

Pot of greed part killed me 😂

Im still convinced hes just obelisk wearing gold armor lol

Yo that 100 BC limited list gag was funny asf 😂

Exod: Is last exodia card Exodia the Legendary Defender: Well I'ma stop you right there

Exodia: exists Weevle: I’m about to end this mans whole career.

“Man-Eater Bug, Hane Hane, Armed Ninja” Good lord I haven’t heard those card names for YEARS!!!

You forgot the left and right nut of the forbidden one

"The Legendary Exodia Incarnate" is literally the classic Exodia but in one full card Remembering the fakes Exodia full cards before this official one... xP

In the God Card arc I so badly wanted to see Yugi get another Exodia and beat the god cards with him.

People can hate on the dub but when yugi beat kaiba and said oblierate, it was really powerful

I always wished Yugi or yami used exodia at least once again.

Atem: “Forbidden” eh? More like “Exodia the Limited One”! Am I right?! 😏👍

Kaiba so desperate to beat Atem that he released Malefic Blue-Eyes in Duel Links.

3:47- Exodia being closer to the Osiris Mythos than the card actually named after him is irony at its finest.

year 2368 people have discovered everything exept what pot of greed does

Spell binding circle actually kinda makes sense lore wise

Exodia holds a special place in my heart, he's the reason why I started playing Yugioh all those years ago. I had never even seen Yugioh, I didn't even know what it was. One day while flipping through the TV channels I landed on yugioh and started watching it. The episode was when Kaiba duels his father and right then he summoned Exodia Necros. I was in awe, never had a seen a monster who looked so badass and cool. I picked up the phone and called my friend and asked him is he played a card game called "You Guy Oh" I didn't even know how to pronounce it haha. He told me yes and gave me my first starter deck and the rest is history. But I had been playing for a while at this point but never bought any packs of cards. I was just using ebay and card stores to buy what I wanted. A virgin to opening packs, my very first pack I opened I pulled Exodia Necros from it. As a kid, this was the highlight of my life. It's wasn't until later on I realized just how bad the card was in comparison to the win now strategy. But it sealed into my brain forever just how much I loved this game. All of that is gone now, I'm in my mid 30's and my cards are gone. But I have two little kids and one day I hope to show them the magic that is playing children's card games... And maybe then I'll discover what Pot of Greed actually does.

Exxod is the final peaceful version of it. Exodia is the normal darker version, with ultamite win conditions and a grin that shows a lust for death, while Exxod is the pure version. It has made peace with the Sphinx's who have purified him from his dark side

I started teaching my mom Yugioh the other day (she used to watch me and my brother play it and always wanted to learn) by only teaching her stuff from the duel monsters era, which she understood pretty well, so I'm gonna slowly introduce her the new summoning mechanics one at a time ^^ As you said, I think teaching new players slowly every summoning mechanic one at a time is best :)

I remember playing Eternal Duelist Soul on the GBA and in a fight against Rare Hunter he was able to summon Exodia on his first turn. That’s like a 1 in 625,000 chance. I should have been in Vegas

3:21- Jojo Reference, when Jonathan Joestar breaks Tarkus’ chains

I swear it’s just obelisk with gold armor

Tbh I always thought Exodia was the unofficial 4th God monster

Exodius: Living Form Legendary Exodia: Mummified Form Forbidden One: Sealed Mummy Form Necros: Decaying Mummy Form Exxod: Enlightened Form

Here's how to honor the anime when you have all give pieces of exodia tell you opponent "my deck has no pathetic cards(insert name of opponent here) but it does contain the unstoppable exodia".

"1000 B.C banlist" *WHEEZES*

Yugi has the magic of pulling out any card he wants from a deck

I've been an Exodia fan for 19 years. This video was excellent, man. It made my day.

0:30 I’d have the same reaction to duelling an Exodia deck. The guy probably didn’t even get to play, just watched as his opponent milled his entire deck

"WOA, IMPOSSIBLE! NO ONE HAS EVER SUMMONED HIM!!!!"

*left leg is limited because its too op among the archetype*

*I recently came across your channel* I haven’t played Yu-Gi-Oh in nearly 12years but seeing the Blue Eyes pack at 04:32 definitely brought a lot of nostalgia when I was 6yo. A bunch of good memories form lunch break at school, my neighbors house, the mall that has been long shutdown since Walmart left it in 2009, etc… flooded in. You have earned my subscribe and will be listening to your videos even if I don’t play anymore. Thank you

Dystopia the Despondent: “Am I a joke to you?”

To add my part to it, I have an own theory about Exodd. I believe Exodd may be the fossilized physical body of Exodia, which was left behind by sealing away Exodia´s soul, which actually made him that overwhelmingly powerful. Could explain why Exodd has 0 Atk, and is an Earth/Rock type monster. Also could explain why he has nothing to do with Exodia´s actual plays, as the body just has vague memories left, from the time it was once flesh.

Sam you forgot about Explodia Ahhh Explodia!!!!! Is not possible, nobody has been able to escape from him!!!!!!

8:17 I saw a secret monster card

It shows how dumb the mechanics have become where at one point Jinzo was on the banned list, now if your monsters could even be destroyed by a mirror force or targeted by evacuation notice everyone would tell you that you deserved to lose

Atem: Ooh no!!! The "heart of the cards" is allowing me to gather All Five Pieces of Exodia!!!! Kaiba: HEY!!! You Cheated!! You pulled all of those cards out of your pocket!!! Atem: you can't prove that!!! (Kaiba brings up the camera footage of him pulling the cards at his pocket...) Atem: Weeeellllllll....... Uuuuhhhhh...... EXODIA KICK HIS ASS!!!!! Kaiba: And that kids, is how I met the Pharaoh.......

The way he says “Cannot be summoned or set” is strangely relaxing

If you know the Osiris myth, you know why Little D. isn't part of this Archetype. I'm sorry for going this low

The banlist mockumentary was grand I love it

Exodd sounds a bit like the converted of the powerful "evil" Exodia into a benevolent guardian that accepted a doctrine of passivity similar to some Buddhist monks.

I still remember being super excited back in the day when I opened up a pack of Dark Crisis and found an Exodia Necros in there. I damn near shit my pants. Unfortunately, no matter how many more DC packs I bought I never found Contract with Exodia. I ended up buying that one online years later.

I love how all of these have nutty effects but most of them have instawin.

5:26 someone lost his car and decided to become a gambler

8:17 lol, if you pause it just right you wont be disappointed. *X,D*

Atem: “Exodia... OBLITERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

EXODIA THATS IMPOSSIBLE NO ONE WAS ABLE TO SUMMON HIM

The time you take entertain us while giving us information about exodia in my opinion is spot on good job😎👍

I missed the time when you could just stall and wait for exodia

6:08 Slow down my man that speed is rapping.

these videos are so well done i'm dead at the ban list skit

Kaiba:Hah How can you summon Exodia. Atem:Kaiba if you really wish to know,then talk to the hand.

Good job! I had no idea what you were talking about most of the time (having only watched the original anime back when it was airing). Im mostly an mtg player but was interested in what you had to say; you have a good way of explaining clearly, good job 👌🏼

The funny thing about the Duelist Kingdom rules is that without the threat of direct attacks, you don't have to actually play anything. You can just keep passing your turn until you draw your best beat sticks. Also, the anime actually showed the weakness of having three copies of each Exodia piece. Your chance of drawing an individual piece goes up, but the chance of drawing the five you actually need goes down.

Can't do an Exodia video without that iconic scene Also anyone else notice how in the anime is was stated that the 3 Egyptian God Cards can defeat Exodia but they never state how.

Exodia was always my favorite Yugioh archetype, but any time I would use it or other alternative winning strategies in ANY GAME, people would say things like “you have no skill” or would just shout profanities. Well guess what, I have an opinion. An opinion that I think is right cause that’s how opinions work. And here it is *takes breath* here goes; The skill in ANY TCG comes from deckbuilding, and the skills in actually playing the game are at the very MOST secondary. BRING ON THE HATE! whatever it is, I’VE! HEARD! WORSE! (Sorry for the rage, this has built up for a while)

Who wins: A monster even stronger than the god cards combined, beating them without even breaking a sweat Or *O N E O C E A N B O I*

I like the way he always says “youuu win the dooool”

Exodia exists in the Dungeon Dice Monsters game as well. The limbs are all level 3 & the head is level 4. You have to get all 5 pieces on the board with the head being the last piece inorder to get the auto win

I like to think of Exodia Incarnate as having the same unstoppable power as the insta-win version, but since he's not sealed, he's playing with his food so to speak. Think about it: when you assemble all the pieces, he gets freed from being split into pieces and sealed away, so I would think he'd be PISSED and want to immediately obliterate the first thing he sees. But as Incarnate, he's a lot more chill, he's taking it easy and slowly building up to his full power at his own pace

Even at the big bang not even the darkness knew what pot of greed does.

0:59 *Yugi proved that there are no pathetic cards* Me: *atem voice* Say hello to Mushroom Man!

Yami Yugi: There are no pathetic cards Level 1 no effect monsters: am I serious to you?

Loved this video!!

Damn, I actually have Exodiua the Ultimate Forbidden Lord and have no idea how it works

8:02 The Zero-Turn Kill, otherwise known as the... PFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I like to look at Exxod as proto-Exodia, head of the guard for all the divine/pharaoh stuff way before even Atem was born. Eventually gifted power that made him as strong as he was, prompting the panic sealing.

I feel like Exxod might be a statue made to resemble Exodia, and functions as a symbol of bravery and honor to the people of the guard (whoever they may be) seeing as how Exxod is an Earth/Rock monster instead of a Dark/Spellcaster monster.

ExBROdia, the ForBROden One BROliterate

*_Sooo he's unimaginably powerful... Aha! I got it... let's split him in half and chain him, that'll teach his unimaginable power a lesson, shame on him..._*

I'm so glad I found this video because I been wondering about exodia and his friends

SETO KAIBA: AHH! impassible!

Exodia has always been my favorite part of y-gi-oh, I love that design so much.

You know i found this account by accident, but? All your content is absolutely amazing && I'm so glad I found it.

LOVED the little excavation sketch

I remember a few years ago I had an Exodius beatdown deck. It focused on level 4 normal monsters, including some of the normal pendulum monsters, and generic rank 4 xyz monsters and level 8 synchro monsters.

"WHAT DOES POT OF GREED DO?!!!"

I’d see Necross as the neutral ironically enough- due to it being an undead parody of Exodia who gains power from its dead self and gets stronger with each turn and is as typically seen as invincible as a card. Then there’s Exodus- the neutral, who power isn’t inherently bad because it gains power from others in addition to its self and gets the bonus of instant win as a final flip off to your opponent and Exodia the Legendary is good, sacrificing its power in order to help its player win.

What's interesting to me is that in the *German* dub of the Anime and in the general jargon used by players "Exodia" is actually perceived as female, with the anime making it canon, when she is summoned as an "ancient protectress of Egypt" in the Battle against Zorc. In part this is due to the name having a female ring to it (like Claudia, Rebecca, Christina) but I really like the idea of her being a sort of motherly figure to all other monsters, almost having a "Divine Hierarchy level" of her own - technically being able to defeat even the Divine Beasts, by outright winning the duel directly.

Gotta still love Exodia even today in Master Duel which I used in the Xyz Synchro Festival for a little bit and I did come across a mad synchro Exodia deck that was pretty cool too.

2:30 "The only thing intricate about this game is its banlist" ~ Magnus the Red, 41st Millennium

AAHHHHHH EXODIA!!! ITS NOT POSSIBLE,NO ONE'S EVER BEEN ABLE TO SUMMON HIM!!!

The pot of greed on the ban list bit had me dying 2:24

I had a certain yugioh DVD that was a more faithful dub of the Japanese versions episodes 1,2 and 3. In this he says in English "Hellfires rage, exodo flame". Also more importantly tristin had his later voice! I'll have go find that DVD
