"We all face challenges we're not prepared for. The challenges themselves are not important. What matters is how we face them." -Codemaster Krellan Honestly one of my favorite phrases to ever hear when you play games in general.
Just wish it applied to actual games. Most will prefer copying the perfect set up and game style than try and use what they have to win. Competition is just about winning these days, sportsmanship and fair chance is long gone.
I like how Crelin went out of his way to help Tom. Many probably ask why, but I think it's because at one point he was like Tom. Either relying too much on a single creature or strategy or both.
Maybe he Saw himself on Tom and wanted to help him or he took an interest in him and wanted him to be better so when the fight for real, It would be a challenge.
I feel there's an unseen irony to this battle. Tom gets frustrated quickly and starts complaining about Ursis being too strong. I feel like it would've helped Tom if someone told him that's how a lot of his opponents felt when facing Maxxor.
there's another irony, though i guess more visible. When they first meet, crellan says "it's not the card, it's the player". But at the start of their match, when tom was annoyed that he only brought one creature, his response was "but can you handle ursus?"

I liked this, shows Codemasters are like you and me, they may be very skilled Chaotic players but they're still people who can go around Perim just like anyone
Fun stories from Tom's friends on Codemasters. Quite the battles and lessons. One being not to give up, no matter the odds, and especially after a losing streak. And being open to learn. Nice twist near the end. Good ep!
The first scene where code masters are brought up, they said code master seven times before finally explaining. I thought that was funny since you need seven wins to play one.
I find it really weird it was just 7 wins in a drome equals code master match. Would have made more sense for it to be 7 consecutive wins in a drome to challenge that code master.
@@michaeldaniels642 that's how it works in the game. Imagine being new to Chaotic and for no apparent reason, after your seventh win, you're invited to challenge the Codemaster.
@Jaybok its true though. The cards are not what make you a great player, but rather how you use them is what makes you great. Tom did a beautiful example in his fight with him when he used modulation. When he first used it, he lost the battle and rather then be sad and angry, he learned and knew how to use it right. It was something even krellan didnt see and was happy he beat him.
This is my favorite cartoon of all time its awesome. Hope someday a video game comes out where its actually like the show. You have to go to perim to get scans and you can fight other players online
I wish that there was more interactions with the codemasters even with Codemaster Crellan. Like I wish he would pop up once in a while too meet with Tom too just talk about shit or have him join in journeys idk. This just seems like a solid character but they don't want to do anything about it. Yes there are are like, 7 codemasters and they have their own shit to do but at least this one cares about the damn MC.
My understanding was that the codemasters would have had been more integral in the story if Chaotic was allowed to have its fourth season per an interview with the creator. Its a shame too I wanted to see that female codemaster that is said to use uber level battle gears
Yeah I wish that too, I wish we got more Crellan and less Hotech, I hate Hotech he’s supposed to be a Codemaster and yet he’s such an ass about it, and when he loses he acts like a child and insults his opponent after a hard fought battle where Tom was frankly a genius with his strategy
Melody of Mirage I believe was shown as Generic as well early on yet is also a Mipedian Mugic in the TCG and sadly a Similar but Better Mugic Song of Reversal was shown but Never Released. As it would just be Melody of Mirage but throwing the attack back in the opponents face. If it did the full damage including Elements and Other Effects it would probably be the most Broken Mugic at 2 Copies Paired with Droskin IRL. Pretty sure it was generic at 1 Counter Cost in the show as well to boot. So you would Negate and Entire Attack and Deal all the Damage Back all for 1 Counter.
Ursis was my favorite creature. When i first saw it i just had to have it, shame things ended up not going as i wanted. The show stopped and so did the cards
3:28 You know I kinda feel bad for Tom. I know exactly how he feels I know that Maxxor was his favorite card to use he was like....the leader of his team. If I lost a card I really liked I'd be bummed too....weather it's a Pokemon Card or Yu-Gi-Oh! Card or...whatever.
@@ytw101 Yeah I know that. He did win a few matches without Maxxor later on right? Didn't he win a match with a Mipedian he used in an episode. I forget the name of the mipedian...oh!...Tiaane...he's the guy that Tom scanned when he was with Payton.
@@foxboxarchives2059 yeah. But after all that he quit because he didnt have a maxxor scan. This and tianne episode takes place before he was gonna quit
4:15 I think that Code Master must have somehow had access to M'arrillian creatures given those tentacles we saw if they planned ahead that is nice foreshadowing.
I love Chaotic, this is one of my favourite anime series that's based on a card game. I'd just wished they made more episodes in this series, and I wish they show this series on Boomerang. Kids of all ages should watch and know this series, so they must show this series and others I know on Boomerang agree.
CodeMaster: “Can you handle Ursus?” Tom: “Where did you scan him?🤯” US: “Good Question. Where did you scan him??? 😤😢 oh right we’ll never find out won’t we”
My surprise with this episode is until Tom was down to his last creature he didn't realize something was off despite being in the Krellin drome and no code master announcer.
I was hoping they'd do a code master per season after season 3 so that the show would last a while and every season would have a new boss slash location to explore
The Codemasters' outfits leave me thinking they're some form of human diplomats for Perim or some kind of royalty. But after reading their bio on the Chaotic Wiki, they look more like the personifications of online admins
Amzen is the one codemaster I really wanted to see, due to that she seems to be the only female codemaster, and that means she could use flirting with her opponents as a way to throw them off their game. Seeing as each codemaster seems to try and get an emotional response from them.
What do you mean? In Tom and Crellan’s official match he didn’t try to throw him off his game via emotions. When he battles Hottek there isn’t an emotional reaction. Sure Hotteck was a jerk, but they kind of played it as that was just his personality. I see where your thought process is going, but I think the Codemasters wouldn’t try to mess with the emotions just because that’s an immature and cheap tactic
I know transferring a code of you into an alternative universe is cool and all but for the code masters to be able to simulate the song of future sight may as well be their most impressive feat yet. Like you have to be able to see into the future using tech not magic which is beyond genius! Makes you wonder about the origins of chaotic and who the technical genius behind it is!
oh wow an actual channel that uploads full length episodes? has the copyright worn off or something? nice. Anyways, this is by far my favorite Chaotic episode, I loved this as a kid and enjoy it even more now. Seeing the difference made by technical skill, the main character actually losing, the importance to both character arcs and story arcs and the twist. It's what cements it as one of the best episodes for me. Sure, some other episodes may be more action-packed like when Maxxor and Chaor fought A'aune, or more emotional like Hoton's backstory, but none quite have the same blend as this one. The best part about this is Ursis is a pretty mid-tier creature on his own apparently. Ursis is only a beast on the battlefield when he has other support creatures with him. The idea that a creature who's bad at solo can win a 1v6 with the right tools and strategy really helps sell how skilled the Codemasters are. Lastly, Tom already had a way to defeat Droskin, but his choice of cards were so poor he lost the 1v6. In episode 8, Tom disabled Klay's Flux Bauble spamming Magmon with Mezzmar by taking the battle to Iron Pillar. If Tom had just thought rationally and included such an important location, he wouldn't had struggled so much against Ursis.
so i've always wondered, is that what he normally looks like? Do code masters just walk around normally? how does no one recognise them outside there armor?
I admit I was playing the game when I was a young adult and I blew a lot of my pay on Ultra rare cards. Because of this some people straight up refused to play me but man did I have fun. One person even asked me if I was a code master and I said "No, but sometimes I feel like one." However, even I started as a guppy. I once beat an Ultra Rare creature with Rellim (my Strengthening Bond attack took away his energy boosting battlegear)
It's funny you say that I have a Non Elemental Attack Deck with Stacked Locations for Past Creatures with 2 Ursis since it's not Unique Legendary Etc, 1 Cromaxx, 1 Smildon all Past Creatures, 1 Wrenges a Generic Overworld Healer with a 1 Cost 15 Point Heal with 2 Mugic Counters and Base Najarin in the back. Mugic Deck is Stacked Too with the Most Digusting Generic Mugic. And the Star of the Deck is both Ursis have Bodel's Dagger which makes all Non Elemental Non Stat Check Attacks do an Extra 10 Damage which practically all my attacking deck is and the few that aren't are good in their own right for other reason which is like 5 of the 20 that still do damage and effects. And the Good Attacks are Stupid Xenocentric Wrath is a Garunteed 30 with Dagger do to "Tribelessness" on a 2 Cost Non Elemental Attack. Primal Smash is a 1 Cost Unique doing 30 with Dagger as well. Retalliatory Strike is a 3 Cost 5 Damage Dagger Boosted to 15 that also adds on the damage of the last attack. And you get the Idea this shit is nuts. Doesn't hit as hard as Slashclaw Khorror or the Highest Elemental Stack Builds. But requires way less Setup and Forthought and is Way More Consistent.
The reason why Chaotic was one of my favorite TCG shows was because the main cast have equal amounts of wins & loses. And they actually struggle during matches & their game plans.
I’m surprised Tom Never Considered adding Interess to his team. He could’ve Asked peyton to give him a Scan of Interess. Also Why Use Staluk? His stats aren’t impressive, mezzmar’s stats aren’t so great either but he has more wisdom than Staluk. I mean Tangath is a good creature to use with his sword and all but, Interess is fast, Wise and couragous and she can do Water and Earth attacks. I know he mentioned it when he was watching Peyton and Krystella’s match but we don’t see him add interess until the final episode of season 1 (i think.)
Eh prob only got it later after becoming more friendly with Maxxor, Intress, and Najarin. I imagine he didn't have a copy of her at first, and Peyton might just have the one
Does any else think its weird that these episodes got there own channel on here Maybe this means its getting a reboot Plus what exactly are code masters another mystery we need solved
Headcanon time! At 4:18, the creature Imthor uses looks like it has a tentacle. This is a HUGE reach, but I like to imagine that he uses M'arillians, and since the Doors of the Deep haven't opened yet, he's currently the only one who uses M'arillians.
One thing I feel I should point out to everyone commenting how excited they are to see Tom and everyone else when the series' restart comes out? It's been over a decade, they'll most likely want to introduce a new cast. I can't say I'd mind, as awesome as everyone was and I would love to see them again too, seeing new MCs would still be just as awesome! So while I don't prefer one or the other, new characters feels like it'd make more sense.
@@Aluhcav I see your train of thought, but as I told someone else, messing with another player's emotions during a match is an immature and cheap tactic, so I cannot imagine any Code Master doing that.
@@jamesburton7756 Well here's the thing about that. Code Masters are meant to help you get ready for any kind of new challenges, and there would be plenty of other players that might do that. So in truth it's just a new challenge to over come.
Greatest issue with the tcg is that it took so long for Prexxor Chasm creatures to come out, and they were Tribeless! Ursis didn't have his three mugician counters as well, a total nerf of his potential as a tank/muge to an overworld deck
Man can you imagine if Tom had scanned the maxxor that had the fear sickness before this fight? Lol he would’ve probably tossed his scanner in the trash for keeps this time knowing the it’s not the cards but the player bs lol
I get that the guy was trying to teach Tom that defeat begets victory, but he could have at least given some more pointers. Like told him what he would have done in his position. Because if I didn't know anything about his battlegear and didn't plan around it, I'd be toast too, can't really see a good strategy around it
It's precisely BECAUSE Codemasters have seriously rare and powerful cards that players have to be at the top of their game to win, as they won't have the type of rare cards that Codemasters do.
97 gang 🤟🏽 This show was my top 3 no 🧢. Im a anime head, so watching this as a kid was mad sick to me bc this literally the only CARTOON to have good fighting content and just a overall good show😭 definitely can hang wit da big boys 🔝💯
im mad chaotic didn't do more code master battles with the other code masters and peyton,kaz and sarah and i wish we got to see what the other codes masters looked like without the suits on like we did with Crellan
Indeed the player and not the cards. Codemaster Crellan won that in a landslide because he knew and utilized strategy. Knowing Tom wouldn't have much of a strategy since he's never seen these cards before. With all these people saying "it's just the rare cards, this is a bad example", I say not really. It is a truly massive handicap going 6-on-1. Tom could've brought a flux bauble to switch locations anytime they were in Prexxor Chasm, or after Crellan used Song of Translocation. He also could've used Refrain of Denial to cancel out the Mugic. He could've put Iron Pillar in his location deck to negate the Droskin and hammer away at Ursis while there. Tom also could've reeeeeally used Intress here. Like he said about needing to scan her and get her in his deck last episode... Yes, yes you really truly did. As we see in her scene of lore in Battledrome of the Sexes, Intress was very nimble and able to climb and perch herself on the side of a cliff while fighting off the Underworld invaders at The Passage. That nimbleness and superb agility of hers would've been key to have at Prexxor Chasm. She would've saved Toms butt from plummeting into the chasm, both with her natural skills and her Vine Snare attack. Of course Tom would've really had to have gotten used to battling as her, so perhaps if he had "just" scanned her it wouldn't have mattered too much. That's all what if's though I suppose. It "seemed" like Tom was winning in a non-Prexxor Chasm location when he got rid of Droskin, but we won't 100% know if that would've gotten him the win since we didn't get to see it through completely.
I'm rewatching the series and I noticed something. It's the same thing that DBZ had to do. A handful of VAs are voicing the entire cast. My proof? Code master Krellen sounds a bit like Kaz. Speaking of DBZ Imagine my surprise when I found out THE Sean Schemmel voiced Maxxor.

Tom did a beautiful example in his fight with him when he used modulation. When he first used it, he lost the battle and rather then be sad and angry, he learned and knew how to use it right. It was something even krellan didnt see and was happy he beat him.
This is my favorite cartoon of all time its awesome. Hope someday a video game comes out where its actually like the show. You have to go to perim to get scans and you can fight other players online
It should be like a kind of mmo
I know right like everything there for a awesome mmo story game
Code master krellen is like a good mentor to tom
I wish that there was more interactions with the codemasters even with Codemaster Crellan. Like I wish he would pop up once in a while too meet with Tom too just talk about shit or have him join in journeys idk. This just seems like a solid character but they don't want to do anything about it. Yes there are are like, 7 codemasters and they have their own shit to do but at least this one cares about the damn MC.
My understanding was that the codemasters would have had been more integral in the story if Chaotic was allowed to have its fourth season per an interview with the creator. Its a shame too I wanted to see that female codemaster that is said to use uber level battle gears
Yeah I wish that too, I wish we got more Crellan and less Hotech, I hate Hotech he’s supposed to be a Codemaster and yet he’s such an ass about it, and when he loses he acts like a child and insults his opponent after a hard fought battle where Tom was frankly a genius with his strategy
My theory says they had used drones with built in code scanner tech for scanning everything in perim.
A hot female kind of a code master?
3:48 I would also yell after this.
Love the man he helps! He looks so interested.
Ya know what's weird? In the show, the Song of Translocation is a Generic Mugic. But in the tcg, it's a Mipedian Mugic with a different effect.
It is probably just an animation error. This show was made on a shoestring budget.
I think it's a show only card like it only exists in the show and when it was made in real life they decided to make it different.
Melody of Mirage I believe was shown as Generic as well early on yet is also a Mipedian Mugic in the TCG and sadly a Similar but Better Mugic Song of Reversal was shown but Never Released. As it would just be Melody of Mirage but throwing the attack back in the opponents face.
If it did the full damage including Elements and Other Effects it would probably be the most Broken Mugic at 2 Copies Paired with Droskin IRL. Pretty sure it was generic at 1 Counter Cost in the show as well to boot. So you would Negate and Entire Attack and Deal all the Damage Back all for 1 Counter.
Without failure, there's no growth.
The more grow from them, the more we learn.
Crellan: You attack first.
Tom: I have the advantage! You go first.
Tom has honor when it comes to outnumbering his opponent
Ursis was my favorite creature. When i first saw it i just had to have it, shame things ended up not going as i wanted. The show stopped and so did the cards
You shouldn't lose hope entirely. Remember, there is a reboot on the way. It's just a matter of waiting for another announcement.
Ursis did get printed though. Perhaps you can buy a copy from someone who is willing to sell it online.
3:28 You know I kinda feel bad for Tom. I know exactly how he feels I know that Maxxor was his favorite card to use he was like....the leader of his team. If I lost a card I really liked I'd be bummed too....weather it's a Pokemon Card or Yu-Gi-Oh! Card or...whatever.
Me too, but i wouldnt use that as a excuse to stop playing the game as tom did later on.
@@ytw101 Yeah I know that. He did win a few matches without Maxxor later on right? Didn't he win a match with a Mipedian he used in an episode. I forget the name of the mipedian...oh!...Tiaane...he's the guy that Tom scanned when he was with Payton.
@@foxboxarchives2059 yeah. But after all that he quit because he didnt have a maxxor scan.
This and tianne episode takes place before he was gonna quit
4:15 I think that Code Master must have somehow had access to M'arrillian creatures given those tentacles we saw if they planned ahead that is nice foreshadowing.
5:12:
Owis: "Hold my beer."
Man I can’t believe I still remember watching this with my dad as a kid . It was pretty 🔥 ngl
I love Chaotic, this is one of my favourite anime series that's based on a card game. I'd just wished they made more episodes in this series, and I wish they show this series on Boomerang. Kids of all ages should watch and know this series, so they must show this series and others I know on Boomerang agree.
Man I can REALLY relate to this episode when I play fighting games
Codemaster Crellan is also Zoro from the 4Kids One Piece, Kalin Kessler from yugioh 5ds and Riley from Pokemon!
Not to mention Akihiko Kayaba from Sword Art Online
Let's not forgot one and only black swordsman himself!
And Helia from Winx Club!
CodeMaster: “Can you handle Ursus?”
Tom: “Where did you scan him?🤯”
US: “Good Question. Where did you scan him??? 😤😢 oh right we’ll never find out won’t we”
Prexor chasm :3
My surprise with this episode is until Tom was down to his last creature he didn't realize something was off despite being in the Krellin drome and no code master announcer.
They weren’t in the Krellin Drome they were in the Beta Drome.
I wish we saw more Codemasters in this show
Hopefully in the revival.
I hope we saw all of them in season 4
Yeah...season 4...
*cries in the corner as we never gotten season 4* TAT
@@JoKoBod it coming back so new season is seon 4
I was hoping they'd do a code master per season after season 3 so that the show would last a while and every season would have a new boss slash location to explore

Yeah, but this wasn't an official Codemaster Match. The Codemaster Chronicles is.
@Michael Taylor yeah, just sucks the kitchen ran out of food before we got to see the rest of the menu, 2 dishes and reviews of 3 more.
OH MY GOD I NEVER REALIZED IT WAS KALLIN OH MY GOD. AAAAAAAAAAH
I really hope Jason comes back for the revival. Fingers crossed!
The lessons this episode taught me have stayed with me for a long time
The Codemasters' outfits leave me thinking they're some form of human diplomats for Perim or some kind of royalty.
But after reading their bio on the Chaotic Wiki, they look more like the personifications of online admins
I feel like I also learned something from the code master too
Amzen is the one codemaster I really wanted to see, due to that she seems to be the only female codemaster, and that means she could use flirting with her opponents as a way to throw them off their game. Seeing as each codemaster seems to try and get an emotional response from them.
What do you mean? In Tom and Crellan’s official match he didn’t try to throw him off his game via emotions. When he battles Hottek there isn’t an emotional reaction. Sure Hotteck was a jerk, but they kind of played it as that was just his personality. I see where your thought process is going, but I think the Codemasters wouldn’t try to mess with the emotions just because that’s an immature and cheap tactic
@Michael Taylor I believe Hotek represents the aggression in the game like how Crellin represents wisdom in the game
Ursis looked the best in this season scary but bad ass
It’s a shame we never saw crellins creatures in the second seasons style
@@vexxama we saw Smildon
@@brostarx oh yeah, I remembered that being season 1 for some reason
Tom: Turkey's don't fly!
Sees wild turkeys.
Tom: I stand corrected.😑
I know transferring a code of you into an alternative universe is cool and all but for the code masters to be able to simulate the song of future sight may as well be their most impressive feat yet. Like you have to be able to see into the future using tech not magic which is beyond genius! Makes you wonder about the origins of chaotic and who the technical genius behind it is!
Tom Pouting Without His Maxxor Card!
the “gym battle” episode
That’s a reason to panic
Codemaster Crellan: "We all face challenges we're not prepared for. The challenges themselves are not important; what matters is how we face them."

14:19 I am having PTSD from that move....
9:32: CASTLE BODRAN IS THE MOST RECENT LOCATION YOU GOT AND IT IS ONE OF THE LOCATIONS YOU KNOW MORE????!!!!!
He was probably looking for Maxxor there.
oh wow an actual channel that uploads full length episodes? has the copyright worn off or something? nice.
Anyways, this is by far my favorite Chaotic episode, I loved this as a kid and enjoy it even more now. Seeing the difference made by technical skill, the main character actually losing, the importance to both character arcs and story arcs and the twist. It's what cements it as one of the best episodes for me. Sure, some other episodes may be more action-packed like when Maxxor and Chaor fought A'aune, or more emotional like Hoton's backstory, but none quite have the same blend as this one.
The best part about this is Ursis is a pretty mid-tier creature on his own apparently. Ursis is only a beast on the battlefield when he has other support creatures with him. The idea that a creature who's bad at solo can win a 1v6 with the right tools and strategy really helps sell how skilled the Codemasters are.
Lastly, Tom already had a way to defeat Droskin, but his choice of cards were so poor he lost the 1v6. In episode 8, Tom disabled Klay's Flux Bauble spamming Magmon with Mezzmar by taking the battle to Iron Pillar. If Tom had just thought rationally and included such an important location, he wouldn't had struggled so much against Ursis.
Wouldnt Song of Translocation nix that
It's the owner of chaotic
If he have that gear to cromaxx not even an army of war beasts could stop him.
The only code master we know what he looks like
so i've always wondered, is that what he normally looks like? Do code masters just walk around normally? how does no one recognise them outside there armor?
as a first impression being tied by ur own vines and dropped in a chasm
I admit I was playing the game when I was a young adult and I blew a lot of my pay on Ultra rare cards. Because of this some people straight up refused to play me but man did I have fun. One person even asked me if I was a code master and I said "No, but sometimes I feel like one."
However, even I started as a guppy. I once beat an Ultra Rare creature with Rellim (my Strengthening Bond attack took away his energy boosting battlegear)
It's funny you say that I have a Non Elemental Attack Deck with Stacked Locations for Past Creatures with 2 Ursis since it's not Unique Legendary Etc, 1 Cromaxx, 1 Smildon all Past Creatures, 1 Wrenges a Generic Overworld Healer with a 1 Cost 15 Point Heal with 2 Mugic Counters and Base Najarin in the back.
Mugic Deck is Stacked Too with the Most Digusting Generic Mugic. And the Star of the Deck is both Ursis have Bodel's Dagger which makes all Non Elemental Non Stat Check Attacks do an Extra 10 Damage which practically all my attacking deck is and the few that aren't are good in their own right for other reason which is like 5 of the 20 that still do damage and effects.
And the Good Attacks are Stupid Xenocentric Wrath is a Garunteed 30 with Dagger do to "Tribelessness" on a 2 Cost Non Elemental Attack. Primal Smash is a 1 Cost Unique doing 30 with Dagger as well. Retalliatory Strike is a 3 Cost 5 Damage Dagger Boosted to 15 that also adds on the damage of the last attack.
And you get the Idea this shit is nuts. Doesn't hit as hard as Slashclaw Khorror or the Highest Elemental Stack Builds. But requires way less Setup and Forthought and is Way More Consistent.
The reason why Chaotic was one of my favorite TCG shows was because the main cast have equal amounts of wins & loses. And they actually struggle during matches & their game plans.
The last pack of Chaotic cards I opened had an Ursis in it.
Tom Majors Sulking
I’m surprised Tom Never Considered adding Interess to his team. He could’ve Asked peyton to give him a Scan of Interess.
Also Why Use Staluk? His stats aren’t impressive, mezzmar’s stats aren’t so great either but he has more wisdom than Staluk. I mean Tangath is a good creature to use with his sword and all but, Interess is fast, Wise and couragous and she can do Water and Earth attacks.
I know he mentioned it when he was watching Peyton and Krystella’s match but we don’t see him add interess until the final episode of season 1 (i think.)
Eh prob only got it later after becoming more friendly with Maxxor, Intress, and Najarin. I imagine he didn't have a copy of her at first, and Peyton might just have the one
@@ProtossTempest ok
they say you challenge a codemaster but they challenge you
Well. A codemaster can challenge anyone when they feel like it
watching this again make me want to see the Codemasters real selves, they kid behind the mask.
Does any else think its weird that these episodes got there own channel on here
Maybe this means its getting a reboot
Plus what exactly are code masters another mystery we need solved
To answer you’re first question the creator of chaotic is uploading all the episodes to get more hype for people to want a reboot
There is a reboot of the card game and the series in the works. It was supposed to be announced in 2020, but covid messed up everything.
So what ARE the Codemasters? Are they just players in costumes or are they living programs like in the matrix?
Sadly never explained.
Why do we see Tom go to earth when he only has to
I wonder which attack Ursis used on Tangath after using the mugic, song of transmutation on him?
Too bad Tom didn't use any scans of Iron Pillar for this match, that would have countered the droskin.
Headcanon time!
At 4:18, the creature Imthor uses looks like it has a tentacle. This is a HUGE reach, but I like to imagine that he uses M'arillians, and since the Doors of the Deep haven't opened yet, he's currently the only one who uses M'arillians.
Codemaster Crellen is awesome and very wise.
I keep wondering do you need to win seven matches in a row or just win 7 like win some then lose a few then win the rest later

One thing I feel I should point out to everyone commenting how excited they are to see Tom and everyone else when the series' restart comes out? It's been over a decade, they'll most likely want to introduce a new cast. I can't say I'd mind, as awesome as everyone was and I would love to see them again too, seeing new MCs would still be just as awesome! So while I don't prefer one or the other, new characters feels like it'd make more sense.
It’s been stated he wants to pick up where he left off not start again
16:20 Why the hell is Tom playing Underworld City in an overworld deck?
I hope we see Tom battle Amzen
God, that would be interesting, seeing as you could have her flirt with her opponents to throw them off their game.
@Michael Taylor Same thoughts! I'd love to see something like that put in, plus it wouldn't hurt to show that the players are human.
@@Aluhcav I see your train of thought, but as I told someone else, messing with another player's emotions during a match is an immature and cheap tactic, so I cannot imagine any Code Master doing that.
@@jamesburton7756 Well here's the thing about that. Code Masters are meant to help you get ready for any kind of new challenges, and there would be plenty of other players that might do that. So in truth it's just a new challenge to over come.
I would prefer if that was Kaz, a remach would had been awesome.
Greatest issue with the tcg is that it took so long for Prexxor Chasm creatures to come out, and they were Tribeless! Ursis didn't have his three mugician counters as well, a total nerf of his potential as a tank/muge to an overworld deck
Man can you imagine if Tom had scanned the maxxor that had the fear sickness before this fight? Lol he would’ve probably tossed his scanner in the trash for keeps this time knowing the it’s not the cards but the player bs lol
Here is a lesson when you’re playing trading card games, “it’s the player not the cards”
Codemaster Crelin teaches people the way I do the good ol school of hard knocks the best way to teach a stubborn person
I get that the guy was trying to teach Tom that defeat begets victory, but he could have at least given some more pointers. Like told him what he would have done in his position. Because if I didn't know anything about his battlegear and didn't plan around it, I'd be toast too, can't really see a good strategy around it
Can we get this in a higher res?
i get the lesson he was trying to teach but i'm sorry he kept on having his cards do all the talking
It's precisely BECAUSE Codemasters have seriously rare and powerful cards that players have to be at the top of their game to win, as they won't have the type of rare cards that Codemasters do.
I mean his lessons are true. Look at Tom's match with Hotekk

Indeed the player and not the cards. Codemaster Crellan won that in a landslide because he knew and utilized strategy. Knowing Tom wouldn't have much of a strategy since he's never seen these cards before.
With all these people saying "it's just the rare cards, this is a bad example", I say not really. It is a truly massive handicap going 6-on-1. Tom could've brought a flux bauble to switch locations anytime they were in Prexxor Chasm, or after Crellan used Song of Translocation. He also could've used Refrain of Denial to cancel out the Mugic. He could've put Iron Pillar in his location deck to negate the Droskin and hammer away at Ursis while there.
Tom also could've reeeeeally used Intress here. Like he said about needing to scan her and get her in his deck last episode... Yes, yes you really truly did. As we see in her scene of lore in Battledrome of the Sexes, Intress was very nimble and able to climb and perch herself on the side of a cliff while fighting off the Underworld invaders at The Passage. That nimbleness and superb agility of hers would've been key to have at Prexxor Chasm. She would've saved Toms butt from plummeting into the chasm, both with her natural skills and her Vine Snare attack. Of course Tom would've really had to have gotten used to battling as her, so perhaps if he had "just" scanned her it wouldn't have mattered too much.
That's all what if's though I suppose. It "seemed" like Tom was winning in a non-Prexxor Chasm location when he got rid of Droskin, but we won't 100% know if that would've gotten him the win since we didn't get to see it through completely.
The Mean Tribeless Creature Wins! :(
I'm rewatching the series and I noticed something. It's the same thing that DBZ had to do.
A handful of VAs are voicing the entire cast.
My proof? Code master Krellen sounds a bit like Kaz.
Speaking of DBZ Imagine my surprise when I found out THE Sean Schemmel voiced Maxxor.
I know Tom was voiced by Jason Griffith (aka the famous Sonic the Hedgehog).
