#ocg #yugioh #japan
What I didnt even show in the video is that there was Showcases which have been Yugioh for ever, where NOW replaced with other TCGs for the first time.
I really hope Konami will step up and start giving us better products. Its really time!
Was it One Piece? I heard One Piece TCG is getting big.
I'm honestly not sure what it was
Usa ..socal a lot of shops are dropping yugioh altogether. 40% of shops are not selling yugioh at all they can't hold the price up because there are so many reprints the box prices can't sell for what the shops want.
@@SmoknDemGrits Yeah, I’m here in Socal too. I honestly never thought it would come to this. Konami of America gotta reevaluate the products they are releasing.
@@BilingualJP I'm hoping Yu-Gi-Oh! goes back to magic roots soon.
My best friend lives abroad in Japan and has been saying what you have said and shown in this video. He switched to Digimon as have many others.
Konami has made a lot of mistakes in both the OCG and TCG. The game is collapsing in on itself because of 25 years of power creep. Look at Tear and Kashtira - huge mistake. They can no longer push the power level any higher without making things more complicated and less interactive.
TCG is essentially their cash cow and the community has had enough. Never thought I’d see the day. Mostly just competitive players at larger events and the rest who are interested play the master duel app.
Yeah I feel like they should have capped the power level some time during the xyz era. It's so bullshit and unhealthy at this point.
I've known that many stores here in the TCG have massive problems with newer yugioh sets and thats why some of them dont sell them anymore. But that shouldnt affect selling single and graded cards. Especially because OCG does have plenty of better sets than we do, that are great products. SO I've got no clue why there are barely any in those shops you visited or why they cant restock them
They dont want to restock is my only explanation..
There is a Surugaya shop in Kokura (Fukuoka) that removed all their Yugioh cards about 2 months ago. Also a Card Lab shop in Fukuoka/Tenjin that actually closed back in September.
Damn.... I'm going to Fukuoka in 3 weeks. Is there still yugioh cardshops?
@@BilingualJP there are about 5~6 in the Fukuoka/Tenjin area, three near Kokura Station, and 5~6 shops in between. I’m not familiar with all the shops in the area.
If you need addresses, let me know, there are a few in Tenjin still. Was there two weeks ago
One Piece, Pokemon and Digimon are strong.....Konami needs to step up.
Soon with Rush duels
@@roman1305sadly nobody likes rush duel
@@kira516uh…there are people who like rush duels, there are also people who like it more than the main game.
@@Unwisergull well it's not like "nobody likes rush duel" More like "nobody cares about rush duel" And why it has to exists in the first place, we have speed duel = master duel rules with 3 zone only, and rush duel is basically the same except you can summon as much as you want and draw 5 cards at once. And the controversial sevens anime made it even worse than it should be. I know the purpose of rush duel and sevens is to gain new fans but sevens doesn't really capture what yugioh really is since it's so different from the rest of the yugioh anime with different art style, light hearted story, and 60% slice of life which doesn't appeal to old fans
Oh also, kids..........
I kinda agree about the 25th anniversary being a letdown.
The booster box reprints in the tcg have modern card stock. That on its own ruined it. Also the fact that even the legendary collection 01 reprint also just has modern card stock...
Im glad that i still have some original legendary collection 01 sealed. At least they have simulated vintage card stock. Aside from that well....
My all time favourite card which is red eyes got a very nice 25th anniversary reprint with the original art work. I will probably fully stick to OCG collecting after this year tho. And also just safe some money to buy some holy grails. :)
I think that's the way 👍
YuGiOh needs a new anime asap !
YuGiOh Sevens is exclusive to Japan and isn't popular outside of it. We need a more Dark and mature anime similar to 5Ds and Duel Monsters.
The moment that they stop making anime for the main format. I already knew it's going down hill. The reason why yugioh is so popular before is because of the anime. They should slow down making new archetypes and focus on making more support for older archetypes. They should also introduce a alter format for modern yugioh.
Exactly, anime is like an absolute necessity..
The story of yugioh and the ideas of kazuki is what drove the brand. Unfortunately this was bound to happen. No one can replace him even if they make new anime series. This is what happens when a brand continues without its original creators input and vision.
The coins in the store are from official tournaments, you get them for signing up and for certain placements. So like, from a YCS for example
The Yugioh TCG has already completely disappeared from my game shops in Singapore for many years, now its entirely OCG...for some reason, even though we speak English
Interesting. Do you have Instagram i would love to follow you!
Well yeah man the younger generations don't know what Yu-Gi-Oh! is. Our generation will probably have one more great wave of collecting when we're all in our 50's and 60's, but that's it imo
It's pretty much like magic right..
Out of the big 3 only pokemon will survive.
What ?? Are u forgetting about rush duel i think??
This is the exact reason why konami reboot yugioh with rush duel to attract todays kids ...
And its doing well in japan among younger audience
@@Shin5214 also dont forgot about duel masters its quite big in japan .
They are still producing the anime over there ..
Konami is making quite a lot of stupid decisions as of late but I don't think that means yugioh is going to die, it's a bit too big of an IP to go down because of slower sales, Pokemon had something like this going in 2017 and other times as well, no worries.
I think this is a chance to get cards at lower prices actually haha.
Yugioh isn't going to die anytime soon, but if they keep this up it *might* die in like 10 years. If the last few years have taught us anything it's that "Too Big To Fail" is a myth in business. It's just a question of how long you can afford to keep hemorrhaging money before you go bankrupt.
I disagree, I think Yugi is very capable of dying sooner than later. Pokemon as you used in your example didn't have to deal with One Piece being in the market.
Konami has been continuously making terrible business decisions. Not only that but Yugi has the worst prize support out of all the major card games and is treated the worse by it's parent company out of the big 3.
Konami can no longer depend on blind loyalty when prize support for almost every card game is better, better coverage and quality of coverage for the big 3 and better product even if just barely for the big 3.
And honestly Konami deserves to go down hill, it's the only way they'll do better.
The coins are pre registration coins from the YCS events here in the TCG. There are like 20(ish) different ones, and they all can come in gold variants instead of silver
Another problem with Yugioh is that they keep reprinting the same old cards over and over again Pokemon reprints old cards too but not as much as Yugioh
What ever it will be, I am still a fan of yugioh, actually, my binder collection is already accomplished🥰
As a fellow yugituber, can I say that this content is some of the best I have seen in a while. I love that we are getting vlogs from not just Japan but Akihabara and being able to see all this is great.
I can speak for America(NA) at least for why yugioh is dropping. Sets have been awful lately, too many sets that are not good instead of a few good ones. Because so many sets are dropping, prices are lower and stores getting these boxes are not selling product. If card shops are losing money constantly and quickly from yugioh it will be cut, since they can't take a break from yugioh. Reason being is that if they skip a bad set, distributors will give them less product of a more in demand set later on. With constant L's on sets coming out its hard to put as much money for yugioh.
Konami has also strained their relationship with collectors, reprinting starlights as quarter centuries, reprinting higher rarity etc. As a long time collector, I can't trust starlights much, it feels like less high rarity is safe to grab since it won't retain a good portion of what its worth. These are two big reasons for North America YGO product is not doing hot, we have had stores stop yugioh and see success in every other card game, with one piece and lorcana stepping to the plate did not help either. I can confidently say the YGO to one piece pipeline is real lol.
Well i want to start vanguard, even thought nobody plays it, because yu gi oh makes me just sometime sick. Still like the game, and play with friends but man....
They need to bring back the version 2 layout and add gen 1 cards as Ultimate rare “ex-000” secrets. Celtic guardian or kuriboh ultimate rares in the original style would be insane.
stupidly high rarities is how we got into this mess
Love your videos
Recent failed products could be a potential cause, as this is the case for plenty of stores here in the states.
I think so too.. they can recover if they did listen to the community and make more interesting sets. Lets hope they realise!
@@BilingualJP As someone who only collects, I’m usually already happy when Konami is able to keep up with their release schedule. But I am certain Konami is aware of this issue. Just wondering, how is Rush Duel doing?
@@tavisource52 Pretty decent I would say. They are doing everything right in their sets.
i will never understand the obsession with doomongering from youtubers, for anyone actually interested in the situation, yugioh is still the second most popular card game in japan, konami had its most profitable years last year and this one, honestly if people are this dissatisfied with a product why not just play something else, this whole waiting for it to die seems like a waste of time
A huge percentage of card shops are discontinuing carrying the product later this year because they are losing money per box sold.
The market is oversaturated with sets that have negative profit margin, lose value only a week after release, not good enough odds to pull the good cards out of the pack, and new sets cycling in and out faster than the budget of its playerbase can sustain, thus making its players not investing.
Over the last 7 years, even the shops near me have reduced Yugioh product (their primary market) and increased Pokemon product to pivot into.
Yugioh is the second most popular card game currently because the gap was pretty wide. But if no one is carrying the product anymore then how much longer until it drops from that spot?
The 25th Anniversary set is the last set a lot of places are going to carry due to its projected sales and interest levels being relatively high. But after that point, the game loses its distributors in mass.
Revisit this post in Q1 2024 and we'll see where it stands. If it grew, stayed roughly the same, or if it dropped rapidly.
@@kenja0685 first, all you just told me was in America, a minute part of Konamis market, second quarter 1 2023 the time period you claim to be nothing but flops, reported record revenue ,again, listen man if you aren’t feeling the game is good anymore you ought to do like those card shops and just go with pokemon, not like it makes any difference you will find the same type of “OMG Pokemon is dying” “gamefreak sucks” videos pretty easily
It's doomed to happen. Finally I can say goodbye to this freaking game.
It seems like you missed the AA off kai that happened so everybody was at the event sponsored by the main card shops. Also for the coins, those are the ones they give away as YCS pre-registration gifts.
" AA off kai" what is this? Can you tell me more?
konami super greedy pushing out so many products that screw the end customer and stores. All the reprints and so many sets most people cant keep up, most don't like the game now.
Aside from the meta, this is also the reason I move to Vanguard now. At least with Vanguard, you are actually allowed to play, rather than facing multiple negates or block fields 😂
The coins are from this years YCS London event
Rush duel are more popular there I think
Edit : yugioh master duel format needs anime asap , anime sells yugioh.. Its not magic the gathering
The lack of cards has to be pretty recent, I was there for WCS and it was pretty stacked up on cards atleast of what I found 🤔 I didn't really have much problem finding what I wanted outside of some English cards that is
I would go to Germany just for that lol
kek
Recent ygo event in Japan had a record attendance rate, so i assume it was just a little drought phase at the time this video was shot at.
yes In Japan not in the west
Bro no one collects this anymore; it’s been at a constant decline for years now lol
A lot of people in my bubble collect yugioh and all this decline is not really harming vintage collectors. It's just not very sustainable what konami is doing this and last year.
The TCG community has been tackling the issue the game has no future. OCG wise I wouldnt be surprised if it comes down to:
--People trying One Piece and other games and switching to them. (i switched to magic)
--The horrible management of the events**
**there is little incentive to try and sign up for anything since every big event has first a lottery. Why try to be good at the game or buy good cards if you cant rven sign up for the big events?. As for day to day there is no price pool whatsoever or events are just overall managed horribly in comparisson to other TCGs. For instance, magic has judges in several daily events while most of OCG are judge-less.
Lastly, the game in OCG is focused completely on NOT interacting with the opponent. One Piece, Magic, Digimon ,etc all are interactive games which I assume also makes people switch to them.
No offense, but no one's looking at Magic the Gathering right now and saying "Yes. That's a fun and balanced card game that's likely to be around in five years." MTG is currently standing on the precipice of oblivion trying everything and the kitchen sink to keep what's left of its player base from leaving, whether it be implementing EOMM on Arena, extending Standard to three years, or excessive crossover sets (which, side note, is *always* the last-ditch attempt of a dying card game to maintain relevance).
Let's be honest, Yugi/Atem build the whole tcg series, the game was really good back in the day (not talking about goat format which still there was a variety of strategies) despite the fact i got older the game is unrecognisable according to my opinion, Gx and other series were ok, but Konami what does is to reprint childhood cards and create a variety of formats.. which for me is a desperate move to keep the audience... i stopped playing advanced format not because i can't or I don't understand the Link, pendulum etc. But because the game lost the whole interest for me .. another major problem is that the community hasn't any new players... and despite the variety of decks it's sad to not see new people come to play, not to mention scam prices from vendors (that's something typical in all tcgs), now I'm a collector, and i play Digimon, and it works for me perfectly
Didnt yu-gi-oh cards went down in price? Maybe people are buying more now to profit later.
We need Master Rule 6
From this moment I ask my JAPAN Hunter to find Yo gi oh cards there are some areas that have stocks bout need time to search more .. I HOPE it will not affect all the areas..
Sehr komisch das Ganze. Na, hoffen wir, dass sich die Situation wieder ändert und die Regale wieder voller werden. Vllt liegt es tatsächlich nur an der 25th Anniversary Zeit. Mal sehen wie sich das entwickelt.
They need to continue or reboot the original story with new cards some how...
interesting and kinda shocking video. I hope konami and yugioh card market will recover soon
Crazy prices for a card game lets play other card games.
Konami should start a US branch and just make yugioh for north and south america if the asia/european scene is dying out
4:23 They did do something similar with LDS1
SET ROTATION. Many people disagree but set rotation will allow a fresh start for new players to jump in and enjoy yugioh. The breakneck speed of modern makes it almost impossible for young people to get into the game. Without the youth playing, the game will fizzle out eventually
Was there 6 months ago and ran into quit a few shops
Das ist tatsächlich ziemlich traurig mit anzusehen. Hoffentlich erholt sich das bald wieder.
Mal gut, dass wir über die mädchen erst gesprochen haben
To many cards that can negate your attack destroy your monsters if you declare an attack and steals your opponent monsters its almost impossible to win.
If u your opponent use too much negate u use negate too .. 😅
Thats yugioh is now days ..
Reason why Konami reboot the game with rush duel
those coins were handed out during last years ycs there's a whole bunch of other coins to
Damn..
Die Coins bekommt man wenn man an einer YCS z.B. teilnimmt👍🏻
dankeschön :) !!
Which magazine is that at 0:58 ?
It's the jump ryu featuring yugioh 👍
It's a singles world my friends 😁
Pokémon has way more valuable cards than Yugioh does and Pokémon have more attractive looking cards than Yugioh does too for example modern Pokemon has cards like Umbreon Vmax alt art,shiny Charizard vmax,rainbow Pikachu Vmax,rainbow Charizard Vstar and Giratina V alt art sure yugioh has beautiful cards like Baron de fleur,ghost rare Blue eyes white dragon,ghost rare Stardust dragon and ghost rare Black rose dragon but those cards aren’t as beautiful looking as those Pokemon cards I just mentioned
I mean real ease all of Rafaels cards from the oricalchos saga people would like the gardna and stuff bring the cards that were anime exclusive irl
DISAPPERAING? REALLY?
Yugioh isnt really beginner friendly unlike pokemon. 😅
And non legacy cards are all worthless
As a returning player , learning how to build a proper deck took me over 5 months .. still doesn't understand 50 % of the thing , so many things going on 😅..
So i ended up dropping again
