Come to think of it, Yugioh was a visionary. In recent years, there has been a surge of board games that are comparable to Capsule Monster. Yugioh was just ahead of its time.

You have to wonder why Gashopan never became a thing in the US, I mean we have claw machines here & candy dispenser machines. I feel like I've actually encountered a toy capsule machine a couple of times as a child though. 2-3 inch Capsule figures for DC, Marvel, Pokemon, etc. would probably be really popular as an alternative to claw machines here if given a chance. Also how much do Gashopan cost anyway? If they are everywhere in Japan, why couldn't they be used in places that have Claw Machines here? If I had the option of paying $1 for a capsule with toys from a series I enjoy & 1/4th of that for a claw machine, I would choose the capsule easily.
@@WaterKirby1994 Well there is the costs for licensing the toys, making the toys, making the capsules for the toys, printing the little paper showing the rest of that toy's series "YOU NEED TO GET ALSO". And then there's the costs of manufacturing (and probably importing) the machines themselves, printing the flashy posters or advertising on the machines. And most companies in the U.S. that has those machines rent them.
@@26th_Primarch That's funny. I live in a small town (around 10 000 citizens) in Czech Republic in Central Europe and every drugstore has the gashapon machines, so I don't really get that whole "it's too expensive" thing.
@@kompuglobalhypermega The machines aren't necessarily expensive but to keep the licensing on the trademarked and copyrighted materials is and most store chains in America don't want to spend that kind of extra money.
1:10- Pharaoh: I swear this bizarre land situation plays almost like that time I faced Mokuba.....who was oddly more like Weevil....except cute and cuddly. Joey/Jounouchi: Silly Yuge! Season Zero doesn’t count.
@@Buddergolem2525 onebadterran and Underlordtico are my favorites. I have watched their playthroughs a few times each. onebadterran is my personal favorite though as he showcases fusions and evolutions in his playthrough. It got me to buy a new Ps2 and redo the game myself
V-Tamer was amazing. I totally had a crush on Neo Saiba. Unfortunately my library only had the first two volumes, I should totally try and find the rest of it.
When I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh! last year in japanese, I was so confused why I couldn't find Capsule Monsters in japanese dub lol But when I watched it, I must say it is indeed boring and passable. But the concept is so freaking cool! I really love the dumb armors and arm launcher of bullets that spawn yugioh monsters.
it's not actually anime, it's entirely western but I love the concept of the monsters being real even if its been done before by pokemon digimon etc it's a fun idea I'm surprised they didn't push it further than this
I liked the show's concept of players being connected to their monsters meta-physically and through fusion. It was executed OK, the rest was confusing and not Yu-Gi-Oh.
Right. As this guy said the original concept of Yu-Gi-Oh was about a supernatural serial killer with a gaming fetish who possessed 15 year old boy. And it was indeed metal!
That’s what I liked about YGO, pre-card game craze. I wish they kept on with that spirit in some form or another. The show translates to King of Games, not Card Game King. It’s a little sad that a majority of the fanbase is relatively close-minded to other iterations using YGO.
@@holyordersol2668 They did for awhile. I really loved the original manga. My favorite game parody is where they parodied the Digimon Digivices and Yugi's little keychain "Digimon" looked like him. And Anzo's/Tea's looked like a peach.
@@princesspikachu3915 That was one of weirdest, though I do like the bitter-sweet ending... I almost cried. As for me I just like when Yami kills or injures someone while laughing.
Only cool part of the Capsule monsters part of the anime was the armoured forms Yugi took when fusing with a monster. But looking back on it Joey and Yugi managed to find capsules that contained monsters from their respective Decks.
@@Mailed-Knight Yeah, but after Duelist Kingdom they're just kind of "there". The only time either of them did anything of relevance after Tristan's suit of armor thing was Tristan finding Joey once and both of them getting possessed in different arcs by said arcs' big bads. They went from characters that *sometimes* did something to possession fodder halfway through the manga (and the anime, of course, skips the first quarter). I suppose that's why Capsule Monsters and the Virtual World Round 2 fillers tried to give them more to do - because otherwise they'd be useless most of the time, instead of half of the time.
I disagree, speed duels are fun to play when you're drunk with friends. Since my friends and I don't go to locals and have very little exp haha. Meta gameplay would turn us off with every monster being an effect monster.
It didn't really fail though. Konami and the series both tried something new. It worked better as a video game and part of the series than it did the actual game.
The PS2 game was pretty nice. Good gameplay and wonderful graphics/level design. At the same time, there's no denying that the story is nonexistent, and the collections both require about 5+ playthroughs (which can grow dull without serious breaks) and end up feeling a bit empty compared to the already 1000+ strong selection of monsters to choose from in the card game at the time.
@@MrRoanRocks same here, started playing it again for the first time in years and it's really delightful although a bit too short. It's miles better than that lame spin-off anime.
"Wouldn't it be cool if we all had cosplay- I mean battle suits like you Yugi?" "No, i'm the main protagonist, therefore only I can have the cool gimmics"
The PS2 one was actually one of my favorite childhood games! I finished the game years ago and I have to say it was pretty hard to finish. Especially getting all pieces of Exodia, but overall the game was alot of fun just like Duelist of the Roses.
I would love if you checked out Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (aka the motorcycle one). It doesn't get nearly enough attention because the premise is so out there, but it's amazing because of it.
It got cut short an entire season here in the states too which made it feel nonsensical and anticlimactic BUT if you catch the last season subbed it's arguably one of the best seasons!
Sad how the only Yugioh Anime to be shown fully (other than the Original if you don't count Season 0) in the States is the worst Yugioh series Zexal. GX Season 4 never aired, 5Ds had tons of episodes missing from WRGP Saga & Ark Cradle Saga shared the same fate as GX's final season to be skipped entirely in favor of a newer series. Arc V Season 2 never aired for unknown reasons, & I don't think VRains will ever air seeing as Nicktoons has completely stopped showing Yugioh Animes. Curse the United States & it's extremely poor treatment of anime series aimed at kids that aren't Pokemon. Your FCC & Channels that don't like Japanese series getting dubbed. That can't stand Japanese intro & end themes. Actually the Channel thing is probably more "I want 7 full minutes of commercials at least!" which is why they would rather not show Japanese series.
Great content as always! Any chance you’ll cover non-cartoon/anime topics like maybe the AWFUL USA Kamen Rider Dragon Knight series? That terrible show would make for an not-terrible video ;)
It's really not awful. As a fan of the mainline series of Kamen Rider, I can appreciate it for what it is. Sure, it's not faithful to the original source material, but it was a damn good show!
A lot of people actually prefer Dragon Knight to Ryuuki. In Japan, it even got an official novelized sequel. It's just that the show didn't do too well here in America due to a variety of factors (poor marketing, bad time slot, being compared to Power Rangers, Bandai America making godawful merchandise that was somehow worse than what was available 7 years prior, the show being highly serialized resulting in people jumping in partway through being completely lost, 4Kids' arbitrary rules about shows ending in December preventing the final two episodes from being shown, etc.)
Your Yu-Gi-Oh videos are why I subbed and I'd love more from you I now have watched all your videos and I love your humor and editing style is wonderful!
"Capsule Monsters" was pretty weird, I'll give you that. The only positive things I can say about it is that A) Yugi's grandfather actually got to be part of an adventure this time around and B) the monster armor looked pretty cool. Otherwise, I'm sticking with the Abridged version of this arc.
Yugi with Wings looks amazing though. I'd love to just watch him fly around. And he/the wings fold up afterwards so they're not sticking out like most other winged characters seem to do.
I remember as a kid getting the two dvds and watching it with my brothers. We loved every minute of it and the concept though done poorly was fun and interesting to us. Though we did see the series through a filter by having a lot of the main series on dvd allowing us to enjoy capsule monsters with out it getting in the way of the canon series. We even watched it recently and still found joy out of it. But maybe me and my brothers are anomalies in this sect.
Why was Tristan the captain of the Melon Lovers Fan Club for four years when he was the captain of the Beautification Club for all four years in highschool?
Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters Collesium was actually pretty fun, assuming you turned off battle animations. I primarily used an army of Skelengel due to their unique attack pattern and a Blue Eyes Ultimate just to obliterate everything else. It was actually kind of like playing Fire Emblem with Yu-gi-oh monsters. Aside from the card game eclipsing the other two games. Dungeon Dice Monsters and Capsule Monsters also never had a chance to take off because making plastic figures is much more expensive than printing paper cards.
"dungeon dice monsters, the failed spin off that took Yu-Gi-Oh and gave it dice." I'm getting flashbacks to ygotas lol. Oh, I see that you are a man of culture and watched that too. That's how I discovered capsule monsters too.
@@tuyet2bdead193 yay SD gundam was made for kids to get them into gundam. But they did a better job with build fighters. Alot of anime will have bad numbers & still have fans & get cult status. But that won't happen to SD gundam. It has happened for shows like Big O, FLCL, Deadman wonderland & many more. Were they do better here then in japan. Toonami first aired SD gundam during a time slot when alot of kids weren't watching it. Some people haven't watched it ether & say it's the worst just by its looks. I'm not saying it's good just weird & could be a nice comfert anime when you just want back round noise.
To Me the video games weren't a failed spin off. In fact I want sooo much more of it! Me and my brother couldn't get enough of it. Especially capsule monster coliseum. I wish they would have gone further. I think they didn't take enough opportunity to advertise it better. Pokemon xd gale of darkness is the same to me. Such an amazing concept and game but never fully used to its full potential. Instead it's just left alone to slowly be forgotten. Yes I also know he's mainly talking about the anime, but it includes the games as well.
It is, Capsule Monster Coliseum plays in an extremely similar fashion the main differences are that there are no spells/traps, no leaders, and the amount of monsters allowed. In CMC you can have 2 massive monsters or an army of small monsters. You would definitely enjoy it 😄
Read the origional manga run that occurs BEFORE the duel monster stuff. This "season zero" run (like you said) focuses on more than duel monsters and also gives us more characterization. They are all aweful except Tristin. Granted he gets the least focus buy when he is shown, he is pretty altruistic. Joey and Tristin were previously in a cutthroat gang. This causes Joey to get wrangled in by the old gang members several times. He tries to deal with the drama himself. Tristan not only helps Joey despite Joey's objections but fills in his other worried friends on what is happening when Joey disappears for a few days. Yep, this kid just goes missing. It's revealed that Tristin is the only one aware of Joey's abusive father by this point and nearly gets a face full of bottle visiting him. He goes to see if Joey is there but when his dad chucks a beer bottle at him thinking its Joey and demanding to know where he has been, Tristin pieces together for Yugi that Joey must have been abducted by their old gang if his father said Joey hasn't been at home for days. Despite keeping Yugi in the know about his friends situation, he refuses that Yugi physically confront the gang himself and charges into the hideout alone to save Joey. He even insteucts Yugi to run away if he and Joey do not come out in a certian amount of time and forget them for his and Te'as own good. Yugi does ignore him to save the day but Tristin ultimately was a lot more altruistic and understanding to his friends emotions than Joey ever was. The rare moments he was focused on tended to also show his softer side. At one point he crushed on a girl so he got grandpa's advice on the best way to write her a love note. Grampa sold him (of course, gotta run a buisness) a blank puzzle to write a love note on. As she completes the puzzle she gets to see his note and it's how Grandpa asked out Yugi's Grandma. Tristin is very sincere and not pervey at all in this arch but the joke ending is that she still turns him down. He is also shown to be a relictant but good babysitter in the Death T arch. He is only involved because he was taking his nephew to Kaibaland serendipitously at the same time to bump into Yugi. Kaiba is a enemy at this point and Tristin's nephew is a gebuine pervey brat who is mean to his uncle beyond belief but he idolizes Kiaba so Tristin agrees to tkae him to the thene park on opening day. He does everything he can to protect his nephew and his friends when Kaiba puts them in real danger and even has an awesome cowboy moment. His nephew gets to help him in a safe way and he takes takes out professional hitmen in an epic quickdraw standoff.later on they wind up in a small room with heavy tetris blocks falling on them. They must climb up whie avoiding the falling blocks to reach the door up top. Tristin's jacket is caught by a block and his fate sealed but he stays silent knowing there was nothing his friends could do and them being aware would only put them at more risk trying to help him. They reach the top (his nephew incuded) before they realize what happened and Tristen explains. He tells them just to move on and keep his nephew safe. The area he is pinned miraculously hasn't had a block fall on it yet but it seems only a matter of time since the entire room will be filled before it stops. We later learn that Mokuba saved Tristin to ask him for a favor but none of the group knew this would happen at the time. Several baddies had been killed by this point with he crew being the intended targets and so it was gebuinly believed by them that Tristin was striat up murdered. He knew he would die but chose to keep quite for his firneds sake in his last moments. Te'a is a step worse than Joey. Joey DID steal Bandit Keith's time machine card blatantly during duelist Island as reveled in Yugioh R but had given up most his ture criminal behavior before the series started. He is a bit of a stubborn airhead like in the anime, who just has a level of social ineptitude (likley due ot his tragic family life) but Te'a is one of the main cast to have done some really questionable stuff intentionally for personal gain. The other is Yugi (No, not Yami. Everyone knows how messed up HE was in that season) but we'll get to him in a minute. Te'a developes a crush on Yami. At this point, he has only appeared a couple times and it isn't clear what he is. Te'a hypothesises that innocent little Yugi has been so represed that he has developed an alter ego. Since Yami only comes out when his friends are in crisis and he hasn't had many for so long, she thinks the more agressive Yami is Yugi's self defense to prevent losing his desperatly wanted friends. She is kind of half right as his wish to the puzzle upon completing it was for friends. Yami had saved her from some creepy dudes a couple of times and she developed a sort of addicted thrill to being the rescued damsel. She agress to go on a date to a theme park with Yugi but there is just not the same spark as when the heroic deep voiced version is stopping an implied rapist from getting her through a game of chance and black magic. A serial bomber however threatens the park and everyone is told to evacuate..so of course Te'a sees this as the perfect opportunity to lure out her man. She runs off, jumps onto the ferris wheel instead and reveals herself only after her car has stopped at the top. A panic occurs and she realizes her mistake as the ride turns out to be where the bomb is planted. Of course Yami stops the bomb, apprehend the bomber who he reveals never ACTUALLY intended to hurt anyone but just caused the public destruction for attention (this is why he always put out a warning with ample time for evacuation and why Te'a's selfish, horney act of manipulating Yugi by putting herself in danger..was the only reason Te'a was ever in any danger) and saved the day. Te'a appears shaken at the end having learned her lesson..but yeah..no..she still just leads poor Yugi on the rest of the series and finds safer ways to bring the Pharoah out to force herself on him. It's a really messed up love triangle that likely caused Yugi some real trauma later on..and speaking of love between Yugi and Te'a! Ho boy is Yugi just AWEFUL! So at the very beginning we learn he is not popular at all. He is small for his age and not athletic. He is bullied by Joey and Tristin. He also stays in the class at recess to do puzzles alone. Te'a's family was good friends with Yugi's so as younger kids they were best friends. As they got a little older, Tea went to an all girl school and got into "girly" things so they saw very little of each other. This year, they are again in the same class and Yugi is looking on the newly "developed" Te'a with fresh, thirsty eyes. He mostly just fantasizes from afar like a perv but Te'a finally takes some pity on the outcast and they talk. She asks about the puzzle he is doing at his desk and he reveals it is the Millennium Puzzle, a memento of his grandfather. This implies Grandpa died and Te'a feels bad for Yugi. Yugi is VERY aware of this misunderstanding but sees it as an opportunity to get more attention from Te'a, who offers to walk him home. Once they get there she learns Grandpa isn't dead. We also see Yugi takes after him as the old man much more bluntly recognizes Tea's "changes" since he saw her last. Confronting a ghost who sexually harasses her, Te'a is not too amused with Yugi. Yugi tries to say that he meant the puzzle was GOING TO BE a memento of his grandfather but that opens another can of worms. Since this draws attention to the puzzle in front of Grandpa, we learn he did NOT give it to Yugi as Yugi claimed. It was on his workbench and Yugi took it without permission. Grandpa reveals he had been looking for it and demands it back as they could sell it for some real money for the family. Yugi refuses, insisting it has to be his as a memento of the old man when he dies. This also all occurs right in front of a confused and angry Te'a. Pretty uncomfortable and dark of the innocent protagonist child we here were lead to belive the Yugi counterpart was. Obviously Yami is the absolute worst of them all once he rears his shadow lined face but regular Yugi still occasionally shows some real pervy and tactless behavior around his friends at points in the series. He can be a real selfish creep at times and the main difference between him and some of the other minor antagonists in this era of the series is really that the puzzle gave him friends. This is what ultimately changed his life for the better and ensured Yugi grew into a better overall human being. It is even kind of recognized as the lesson of the Archie on how important friends are as yugi could have been any of these guys had he kept on the same desperate and lonely path. Even Kaiba is a vision of Yugi as the successful buisness nerd who got to wrapped up in his success and gaming reputation. Pretty much every character became better as a human being (in the end at least) for the puzzle having brought them into a circle of friendship. They all also some serious character flaws to overcome in the beginning. It was surprising years after first watching the anime to read this and learn how unlikable of triats so many of the main cast really had early on. I do find the melon thing pretty funny. Capsul monsters was a western filler only so it is odd they would insert this innuendo when they went so hard in removing anything suggestive form thevorigional story. It's also weird they would make Tristin say this as he was the least pervy of the crew. His nephew..an actual baby was a real creep who wanted to grab Te'a's boobs (everyone in the series did young and old except tristin apparently) but Tristin actually took a shamed embarrassment to his nephews behavior. Objectifing women was just something that made Tristi more incomfortable than anything in most cases early on.
Personally, I liked the Capsule Monsters arc. (Mind you I watched it not knowing where in the show it happened, just watching the episodes themselves) I especially liked the concept of the Dual Armor. Something about combining your strength with that of your monster just intrigued me.
From what I recall even as a kid I felt this evil guy's plot and reason for being evil was stupid. I remember he had to get pieces of some key to open a door, but when they assemble all the pieces and the door doesn't open he gets pissed and turns evil. Except he never put the key in the door.
"I can't wait for the sequel when the gang faces off against Attila the Hun." Ahahaha...hahahaha...f-funny idea, right? Yeah. That's so ridiculous. I mean, fighting a random historical figure like that. Yeah. Fighting Attila the Hun like that. My Switch: Fate/Extella Link has finished pre-installing.
the reason why cardgames work out better, especially in the modern era is that you can just pick up a few packs throw andeck together and ask a buddy, or someone online how to play.
I actually have a pretty big soft spot for Capsule Monsters! Obviously it's completely non-canon and 4Kids is garbage, but it had some legitimately interesting ideas. It fleshed out personalities and lore of some of the monsters in a way stop the show by its nature as a card game with card spirits that weren't constant companions couldn't, and the whole thing with some characters being able to fuse with monsters is SO cool - the Dark Magician family of monsters has always been my favorite, so watching Atem fuse with Dark Magician and Magician of Black Chaos were crowning moments of awesome. They still got me super hyped on rewatch a couple years ago. I actually just cleaned out some of my screenshots folder a month ago and found the whole sequence of Tristan with the melon painstakingly capped!! The fact that was so out of the blue made that moment even funnier!
Capsule Monsters wasn't a spin off. if anything the card game is the spin off. it was just the more successful of the two, and due to popular demand thats the game the series followed after season 0.
4Kids was definitely hoping the Capsule Monsters anime would work as an ad for the physical game. After all, they went as far as to produce that 12-episode mini-series. It was an oddly, mostly American, Yu-Gi-Oh production.
I absolutely love playing capsule monster coliseum. I used to stay up all night playing that game. I even tried to recreate it using paper cut-outs and a large board that had many dividers. Still one of my favorite games to date.
I got interested in this and managed to snag an unopened copy of the starter set from eBay after looking for months years ago, if I knew you were doing this I would have sent it to you 😭. Thanks for still doing your research on the topic, love the video as always.

But when I watched it, I must say it is indeed boring and passable. But the concept is so freaking cool! I really love the dumb armors and arm launcher of bullets that spawn yugioh monsters.
I remember looking EVERYWHERE for japanese capsule monsters and was like damn the Japanese did pyramid of light but not this-
@@KingOfGaymes that because there is no Japanese dub of this.
Well, Capsule Monsters should have a Korean dub.
it's not actually anime, it's entirely western
but I love the concept of the monsters being real even if its been done before by pokemon digimon etc it's a fun idea I'm surprised they didn't push it further than this
@@Fang_Tooth It was probably trying to capture the Pokemon hype for sure with the capsules, monster capturing, etc.
But the armors tho
Capsule monster? PLAY A CHILDREN'S CARD GAME INSTEAD :D
Hey Billiam! Do Sonic X!
I liked the show's concept of players being connected to their monsters meta-physically and through fusion. It was executed OK, the rest was confusing and not Yu-Gi-Oh.

Manga Mokuba never ceases to be unsettling
For real. Super creepy kid. Such a different character from the anime haha
Wished he stayed that way.
@@Mailed-Knight ...What the hell is wrong with you?!
@John Benko What kid?
@@hiromamoru9144 Mokuba, he was pimp in the original YuGiOh with a gang of 11yo. It was indeed a very metal series.
Can't be king of games if you don't cover every genre right? 😁🤷♂️
Right. As this guy said the original concept of Yu-Gi-Oh was about a supernatural serial killer with a gaming fetish who possessed 15 year old boy. And it was indeed metal!
That’s what I liked about YGO, pre-card game craze.
I wish they kept on with that spirit in some form or another.
The show translates to King of Games, not Card Game King.
It’s a little sad that a majority of the fanbase is relatively close-minded to other iterations using YGO.
@@holyordersol2668 Translation is Game King and for story purposes in the manga, which is why Takahashi is a genius.
@@holyordersol2668 They did for awhile. I really loved the original manga. My favorite game parody is where they parodied the Digimon Digivices and Yugi's little keychain "Digimon" looked like him. And Anzo's/Tea's looked like a peach.
@@princesspikachu3915 That was one of weirdest, though I do like the bitter-sweet ending... I almost cried. As for me I just like when Yami kills or injures someone while laughing.
Only cool part of the Capsule monsters part of the anime was the armoured forms Yugi took when fusing with a monster.
But looking back on it Joey and Yugi managed to find capsules that contained monsters from their respective Decks.

Suuuuuuuuure...
@@skippernolen5644 ....My game uses dice.
Abysse Splash “I activate my trap card, Skull Dice. A card that very specifically requires a dice to play it.”
Blame the anime.
Duke you BAKA!
I like that Tristan and Tea have battles in the show, thats something the mangá doesnt do.. only one time for nothing progressivelly great
Tristan and Tea kill Zork in his first appearance remember when the Spirit of the Millennium Ring turned them into not-D&D minis.
@@Mailed-Knight Yeah, but after Duelist Kingdom they're just kind of "there". The only time either of them did anything of relevance after Tristan's suit of armor thing was Tristan finding Joey once and both of them getting possessed in different arcs by said arcs' big bads. They went from characters that *sometimes* did something to possession fodder halfway through the manga (and the anime, of course, skips the first quarter).
I suppose that's why Capsule Monsters and the Virtual World Round 2 fillers tried to give them more to do - because otherwise they'd be useless most of the time, instead of half of the time.
3:35
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: they need to make Katsuyaman a card.
in the manga there wasn't a "king", the players had to kill all the opponent's monsters.
You made no sense
Capsule monster: good idea
Dungeon dice: good idea
Speed duels: wasted money
Zerato Lizardra pendulums: BROKE
@Nill Null just go to the dunes/abandon area with walkie talkies.
@@zafool4997 links: [REDACTED]
@Casswury You see the problem with that idea is it is super metal. Except only in video games and the anime could we experience the motorcycle part.
I disagree, speed duels are fun to play when you're drunk with friends. Since my friends and I don't go to locals and have very little exp haha. Meta gameplay would turn us off with every monster being an effect monster.
It didn't really fail though. Konami and the series both tried something new. It worked better as a video game and part of the series than it did the actual game.
The PS2 game was pretty nice. Good gameplay and wonderful graphics/level design.
At the same time, there's no denying that the story is nonexistent, and the collections both require about 5+ playthroughs (which can grow dull without serious breaks) and end up feeling a bit empty compared to the already 1000+ strong selection of monsters to choose from in the card game at the time.
Highly recommend playing through the rest of the ps2 game. Ive beaten it twice. So good.
One of my favourite games, just replayed it again recently. It’s great.
Yeah, I love it, but my ps2 is quite old by this point.
Duuuuude I remember that game! That was like my first PS2 game! Had almost nothing to do with this saga of the anime but it was still fun.
@@MrRoanRocks same here, started playing it again for the first time in years and it's really delightful although a bit too short.
It's miles better than that lame spin-off anime.
Yes I 100%ed the game myself and I've always loved it. Especially the vs mode as well.
"Wouldn't it be cool if we all had cosplay- I mean battle suits like you Yugi?"
"No, i'm the main protagonist, therefore only I can have the cool gimmics"
The PS2 one was actually one of my favorite childhood games! I finished the game years ago and I have to say it was pretty hard to finish. Especially getting all pieces of Exodia, but overall the game was alot of fun just like Duelist of the Roses.
*Season 0 Yami has entered the chat*
*Season 0 Yami has mindcrushed the chat*
I would love if you checked out Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (aka the motorcycle one). It doesn't get nearly enough attention because the premise is so out there, but it's amazing because of it.
It got cut short an entire season here in the states too which made it feel nonsensical and anticlimactic BUT if you catch the last season subbed it's arguably one of the best seasons!
Sad how the only Yugioh Anime to be shown fully (other than the Original if you don't count Season 0) in the States is the worst Yugioh series Zexal. GX Season 4 never aired, 5Ds had tons of episodes missing from WRGP Saga & Ark Cradle Saga shared the same fate as GX's final season to be skipped entirely in favor of a newer series. Arc V Season 2 never aired for unknown reasons, & I don't think VRains will ever air seeing as Nicktoons has completely stopped showing Yugioh Animes.
Curse the United States & it's extremely poor treatment of anime series aimed at kids that aren't Pokemon. Your FCC & Channels that don't like Japanese series getting dubbed. That can't stand Japanese intro & end themes. Actually the Channel thing is probably more "I want 7 full minutes of commercials at least!" which is why they would rather not show Japanese series.
In the future, card games will be played on motorbikes!
@@Crlarl Card games on motorcycles!
I remember when this was first introduced in the Manga. It was so awesome, I really wanted the toys
1:02
Great content as always! Any chance you’ll cover non-cartoon/anime topics like maybe the AWFUL USA Kamen Rider Dragon Knight series? That terrible show would make for an not-terrible video ;)
ilinnuc it won an award
Dragon Knight was Awesome.
It says "dragon" in it, so it can't be THAT bad.
It's really not awful.
As a fan of the mainline series of Kamen Rider, I can appreciate it for what it is.
Sure, it's not faithful to the original source material, but it was a damn good show!
A lot of people actually prefer Dragon Knight to Ryuuki. In Japan, it even got an official novelized sequel. It's just that the show didn't do too well here in America due to a variety of factors (poor marketing, bad time slot, being compared to Power Rangers, Bandai America making godawful merchandise that was somehow worse than what was available 7 years prior, the show being highly serialized resulting in people jumping in partway through being completely lost, 4Kids' arbitrary rules about shows ending in December preventing the final two episodes from being shown, etc.)
Your Yu-Gi-Oh videos are why I subbed and I'd love more from you I now have watched all your videos and I love your humor and editing style is wonderful!
"Capsule Monsters" was pretty weird, I'll give you that. The only positive things I can say about it is that A) Yugi's grandfather actually got to be part of an adventure this time around and B) the monster armor looked pretty cool. Otherwise, I'm sticking with the Abridged version of this arc.
Yugi with Wings looks amazing though. I'd love to just watch him fly around. And he/the wings fold up afterwards so they're not sticking out like most other winged characters seem to do.
I honestly would like to see a reimagining of Capsule Monsters, yu-gi-oh related or not. It seems very intriguing.
I remember as a kid getting the two dvds and watching it with my brothers. We loved every minute of it and the concept though done poorly was fun and interesting to us. Though we did see the series through a filter by having a lot of the main series on dvd allowing us to enjoy capsule monsters with out it getting in the way of the canon series. We even watched it recently and still found joy out of it. But maybe me and my brothers are anomalies in this sect.
Thank you for being you, sir! 🙏🏼🤗
Why was Tristan the captain of the Melon Lovers Fan Club for four years when he was the captain of the Beautification Club for all four years in highschool?
Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters Collesium was actually pretty fun, assuming you turned off battle animations. I primarily used an army of Skelengel due to their unique attack pattern and a Blue Eyes Ultimate just to obliterate everything else. It was actually kind of like playing Fire Emblem with Yu-gi-oh monsters.
Aside from the card game eclipsing the other two games. Dungeon Dice Monsters and Capsule Monsters also never had a chance to take off because making plastic figures is much more expensive than printing paper cards.
"dungeon dice monsters, the failed spin off that took Yu-Gi-Oh and gave it dice."
I'm getting flashbacks to ygotas lol.
Oh, I see that you are a man of culture and watched that too. That's how I discovered capsule monsters too.
I still feel like Dungeon Dice was a hugely underappreciated, and capsule monster was... fine i guess(?)
The only good thing that came from Capsule Monsters is: that one ritual monster based on the Joey/Red-Eyes hybrid.
It is a Broken card.
It's about damn time. Season 0 is my favourite.
Capaule Monsters was the first Time I saw yugioh as a Kid on TV. (Joe in the Labyrinth) Here in Germany its a own Season.
I wonder what the next video will be. Maybe it should be SD gundam was weird or Boboboboo was weird.
I hate to admit rewatched the show with my sister and we enjoyed it especially the last season
@@tuyet2bdead193 which one? Becuase both can be good just really weird
@@AnimeFreakX4 SD Gundam, its apparently one of the lowest rated shows. I love how weird bobobo is too even tho i havent watched all of it^^
@@tuyet2bdead193 yay SD gundam was made for kids to get them into gundam. But they did a better job with build fighters. Alot of anime will have bad numbers & still have fans & get cult status. But that won't happen to SD gundam.
It has happened for shows like Big O, FLCL, Deadman wonderland & many more. Were they do better here then in japan. Toonami first aired SD gundam during a time slot when alot of kids weren't watching it. Some people haven't watched it ether & say it's the worst just by its looks.
I'm not saying it's good just weird & could be a nice comfert anime when you just want back round noise.
@@AnimeFreakX4 yeah, altho it did give one of my favorite songs at least in jp the Kokoro Odoru by nobodyknows+
To Me the video games weren't a failed spin off. In fact I want sooo much more of it! Me and my brother couldn't get enough of it. Especially capsule monster coliseum. I wish they would have gone further. I think they didn't take enough opportunity to advertise it better. Pokemon xd gale of darkness is the same to me. Such an amazing concept and game but never fully used to its full potential. Instead it's just left alone to slowly be forgotten. Yes I also know he's mainly talking about the anime, but it includes the games as well.
Huh interesting. Seems similar to the Duelist of the Roses game (Still my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh video game to this day)
It is, Capsule Monster Coliseum plays in an extremely similar fashion the main differences are that there are no spells/traps, no leaders, and the amount of monsters allowed. In CMC you can have 2 massive monsters or an army of small monsters. You would definitely enjoy it 😄
Read the origional manga run that occurs BEFORE the duel monster stuff. This "season zero" run (like you said) focuses on more than duel monsters and also gives us more characterization. They are all aweful except Tristin. Granted he gets the least focus buy when he is shown, he is pretty altruistic. Joey and Tristin were previously in a cutthroat gang. This causes Joey to get wrangled in by the old gang members several times. He tries to deal with the drama himself. Tristan not only helps Joey despite Joey's objections but fills in his other worried friends on what is happening when Joey disappears for a few days. Yep, this kid just goes missing. It's revealed that Tristin is the only one aware of Joey's abusive father by this point and nearly gets a face full of bottle visiting him. He goes to see if Joey is there but when his dad chucks a beer bottle at him thinking its Joey and demanding to know where he has been, Tristin pieces together for Yugi that Joey must have been abducted by their old gang if his father said Joey hasn't been at home for days. Despite keeping Yugi in the know about his friends situation, he refuses that Yugi physically confront the gang himself and charges into the hideout alone to save Joey. He even insteucts Yugi to run away if he and Joey do not come out in a certian amount of time and forget them for his and Te'as own good. Yugi does ignore him to save the day but Tristin ultimately was a lot more altruistic and understanding to his friends emotions than Joey ever was. The rare moments he was focused on tended to also show his softer side. At one point he crushed on a girl so he got grandpa's advice on the best way to write her a love note. Grampa sold him (of course, gotta run a buisness) a blank puzzle to write a love note on. As she completes the puzzle she gets to see his note and it's how Grandpa asked out Yugi's Grandma. Tristin is very sincere and not pervey at all in this arch but the joke ending is that she still turns him down. He is also shown to be a relictant but good babysitter in the Death T arch. He is only involved because he was taking his nephew to Kaibaland serendipitously at the same time to bump into Yugi. Kaiba is a enemy at this point and Tristin's nephew is a gebuine pervey brat who is mean to his uncle beyond belief but he idolizes Kiaba so Tristin agrees to tkae him to the thene park on opening day. He does everything he can to protect his nephew and his friends when Kaiba puts them in real danger and even has an awesome cowboy moment. His nephew gets to help him in a safe way and he takes takes out professional hitmen in an epic quickdraw standoff.later on they wind up in a small room with heavy tetris blocks falling on them. They must climb up whie avoiding the falling blocks to reach the door up top. Tristin's jacket is caught by a block and his fate sealed but he stays silent knowing there was nothing his friends could do and them being aware would only put them at more risk trying to help him. They reach the top (his nephew incuded) before they realize what happened and Tristen explains. He tells them just to move on and keep his nephew safe. The area he is pinned miraculously hasn't had a block fall on it yet but it seems only a matter of time since the entire room will be filled before it stops. We later learn that Mokuba saved Tristin to ask him for a favor but none of the group knew this would happen at the time. Several baddies had been killed by this point with he crew being the intended targets and so it was gebuinly believed by them that Tristin was striat up murdered. He knew he would die but chose to keep quite for his firneds sake in his last moments. Te'a is a step worse than Joey. Joey DID steal Bandit Keith's time machine card blatantly during duelist Island as reveled in Yugioh R but had given up most his ture criminal behavior before the series started. He is a bit of a stubborn airhead like in the anime, who just has a level of social ineptitude (likley due ot his tragic family life) but Te'a is one of the main cast to have done some really questionable stuff intentionally for personal gain. The other is Yugi (No, not Yami. Everyone knows how messed up HE was in that season) but we'll get to him in a minute. Te'a developes a crush on Yami. At this point, he has only appeared a couple times and it isn't clear what he is. Te'a hypothesises that innocent little Yugi has been so represed that he has developed an alter ego. Since Yami only comes out when his friends are in crisis and he hasn't had many for so long, she thinks the more agressive Yami is Yugi's self defense to prevent losing his desperatly wanted friends. She is kind of half right as his wish to the puzzle upon completing it was for friends. Yami had saved her from some creepy dudes a couple of times and she developed a sort of addicted thrill to being the rescued damsel. She agress to go on a date to a theme park with Yugi but there is just not the same spark as when the heroic deep voiced version is stopping an implied rapist from getting her through a game of chance and black magic. A serial bomber however threatens the park and everyone is told to evacuate..so of course Te'a sees this as the perfect opportunity to lure out her man. She runs off, jumps onto the ferris wheel instead and reveals herself only after her car has stopped at the top. A panic occurs and she realizes her mistake as the ride turns out to be where the bomb is planted. Of course Yami stops the bomb, apprehend the bomber who he reveals never ACTUALLY intended to hurt anyone but just caused the public destruction for attention (this is why he always put out a warning with ample time for evacuation and why Te'a's selfish, horney act of manipulating Yugi by putting herself in danger..was the only reason Te'a was ever in any danger) and saved the day. Te'a appears shaken at the end having learned her lesson..but yeah..no..she still just leads poor Yugi on the rest of the series and finds safer ways to bring the Pharoah out to force herself on him. It's a really messed up love triangle that likely caused Yugi some real trauma later on..and speaking of love between Yugi and Te'a! Ho boy is Yugi just AWEFUL! So at the very beginning we learn he is not popular at all. He is small for his age and not athletic. He is bullied by Joey and Tristin. He also stays in the class at recess to do puzzles alone. Te'a's family was good friends with Yugi's so as younger kids they were best friends. As they got a little older, Tea went to an all girl school and got into "girly" things so they saw very little of each other. This year, they are again in the same class and Yugi is looking on the newly "developed" Te'a with fresh, thirsty eyes. He mostly just fantasizes from afar like a perv but Te'a finally takes some pity on the outcast and they talk. She asks about the puzzle he is doing at his desk and he reveals it is the Millennium Puzzle, a memento of his grandfather. This implies Grandpa died and Te'a feels bad for Yugi. Yugi is VERY aware of this misunderstanding but sees it as an opportunity to get more attention from Te'a, who offers to walk him home. Once they get there she learns Grandpa isn't dead. We also see Yugi takes after him as the old man much more bluntly recognizes Tea's "changes" since he saw her last. Confronting a ghost who sexually harasses her, Te'a is not too amused with Yugi. Yugi tries to say that he meant the puzzle was GOING TO BE a memento of his grandfather but that opens another can of worms. Since this draws attention to the puzzle in front of Grandpa, we learn he did NOT give it to Yugi as Yugi claimed. It was on his workbench and Yugi took it without permission. Grandpa reveals he had been looking for it and demands it back as they could sell it for some real money for the family. Yugi refuses, insisting it has to be his as a memento of the old man when he dies. This also all occurs right in front of a confused and angry Te'a. Pretty uncomfortable and dark of the innocent protagonist child we here were lead to belive the Yugi counterpart was. Obviously Yami is the absolute worst of them all once he rears his shadow lined face but regular Yugi still occasionally shows some real pervy and tactless behavior around his friends at points in the series. He can be a real selfish creep at times and the main difference between him and some of the other minor antagonists in this era of the series is really that the puzzle gave him friends. This is what ultimately changed his life for the better and ensured Yugi grew into a better overall human being. It is even kind of recognized as the lesson of the Archie on how important friends are as yugi could have been any of these guys had he kept on the same desperate and lonely path. Even Kaiba is a vision of Yugi as the successful buisness nerd who got to wrapped up in his success and gaming reputation. Pretty much every character became better as a human being (in the end at least) for the puzzle having brought them into a circle of friendship. They all also some serious character flaws to overcome in the beginning. It was surprising years after first watching the anime to read this and learn how unlikable of triats so many of the main cast really had early on. I do find the melon thing pretty funny. Capsul monsters was a western filler only so it is odd they would insert this innuendo when they went so hard in removing anything suggestive form thevorigional story. It's also weird they would make Tristin say this as he was the least pervy of the crew. His nephew..an actual baby was a real creep who wanted to grab Te'a's boobs (everyone in the series did young and old except tristin apparently) but Tristin actually took a shamed embarrassment to his nephews behavior. Objectifing women was just something that made Tristi more incomfortable than anything in most cases early on.
Personally, I liked the Capsule Monsters arc. (Mind you I watched it not knowing where in the show it happened, just watching the episodes themselves) I especially liked the concept of the Dual Armor. Something about combining your strength with that of your monster just intrigued me.
Facts
@David Baptiste which part?
@@digifreak90 i guess the whole part of capsule arc
Same with me as well
Can we actualy all agree that this isn't real? Capsule Monsters is weird is an understatment. XD
Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters Collesium was the best game on ps2
Indeed
Wasnt duelist of the roses also in ps2? Or is that on something else?
Abysse Splash I had both.
I loved this honestly. Getting up in the morning and watching this on Jetix was a highlight of my childhood
Capsule Monsters was being demoed at GenCon Indy around 2007. It was interesting to play but it clearly never took off.
I thought these were more popular, I had a decent amount of these growing up and loved them
Capsule Monster for PS2 its probably my favorite yu-gi-oh video game
From what I recall even as a kid I felt this evil guy's plot and reason for being evil was stupid. I remember he had to get pieces of some key to open a door, but when they assemble all the pieces and the door doesn't open he gets pissed and turns evil. Except he never put the key in the door.
"I can't wait for the sequel when the gang faces off against Attila the Hun."
Ahahaha...hahahaha...f-funny idea, right?
Yeah. That's so ridiculous. I mean, fighting a random historical figure like that. Yeah. Fighting Attila the Hun like that.
My Switch: Fate/Extella Link has finished pre-installing.
the reason why cardgames work out better, especially in the modern era is that you can just pick up a few packs throw andeck together and ask a buddy, or someone online how to play.
I thought the stakes were pretty the same as the 01 digimon. In fact, this was pretty much the og digimon.
I still think dungeon dice monsters would be fun if they brought it back
PLEASE do Oban Star Racers and watch the whole thing (26 episodes), quite possibly the most underrated cartoon/anime of all time
I remember watching this on hulu and I thought it was werid, bit I kept watching it to the end
@3:54 distancing yourself from everything you liked as a kid..?? The hell did you start doing instead!? Lol
I actually have a pretty big soft spot for Capsule Monsters! Obviously it's completely non-canon and 4Kids is garbage, but it had some legitimately interesting ideas. It fleshed out personalities and lore of some of the monsters in a way stop the show by its nature as a card game with card spirits that weren't constant companions couldn't, and the whole thing with some characters being able to fuse with monsters is SO cool - the Dark Magician family of monsters has always been my favorite, so watching Atem fuse with Dark Magician and Magician of Black Chaos were crowning moments of awesome. They still got me super hyped on rewatch a couple years ago. I actually just cleaned out some of my screenshots folder a month ago and found the whole sequence of Tristan with the melon painstakingly capped!! The fact that was so out of the blue made that moment even funnier!
New Billiam video?
_clicking intensifies_
Thank you for confirming this wasn’t an aggressive fever dream I had once and in fact was a real thing! 😆👍
Capsule Monsters wasn't a spin off. if anything the card game is the spin off. it was just the more successful of the two, and due to popular demand thats the game the series followed after season 0.
FuturePants He mentions in the video that it’s originally from season zero. I think he’s referring the 4Kids commissioned episodes as the spin-off.
4Kids was definitely hoping the Capsule Monsters anime would work as an ad for the physical game. After all, they went as far as to produce that 12-episode mini-series. It was an oddly, mostly American, Yu-Gi-Oh production.
The term is "Biomerge Digivolution" Billaim, get it right man ;P
Unfortunately the physical board game is so rare and expensive:(
Long live the Yo-Kai masterace
I always had a weird, ancient memory of binging this entire capsule monsters mini-series on a rented DVD as a kid. I'm so glad that was a real thing.
Capsule monsters is a Digimon clone!
I absolutely love playing capsule monster coliseum. I used to stay up all night playing that game. I even tried to recreate it using paper cut-outs and a large board that had many dividers. Still one of my favorite games to date.
Where are the Brothers of the Bell? Let's represent, we are here early.
I got interested in this and managed to snag an unopened copy of the starter set from eBay after looking for months years ago, if I knew you were doing this I would have sent it to you 😭. Thanks for still doing your research on the topic, love the video as always.
billiam u literally went to where they make bakugan and neither you or the yugitubers said anything about them combining bakugan tech with dungeon dice monsters
That’s because bakugan was created way after yugioh, digimon, etc.
Oh my god I cannot wait for the Capsule Monsters Abridged series to get to Tristan’s weird melon obsession 😂
Lol wut, capsule monster was internationnal only?
Well, the more you know I guess.
I never tried to look for it after watching on tv.
Glad someone besides me loves the abridged series.
1:19 from my understanding the objective is to capture the king. You never actually take the piece.
You are correct.
This channel is like unlocking deep hidden memories
Watch 'huntik' next please. They even made a card game around it. Seriously give it a try. It's very standard
I remember reading the manga once and yugi wasn’t playing duel monsters he would just play some random game with his opponents and it confused tf outta me
Capsule monsters sounds like Pokemon
Pokemon sounds like duel monsters. Or belt monsters.
Can we just go back to the fact that Yugi fed Kibah's little brother to a giant Capsule for a second.
I liked Capsule Monsters.. Mostly I enjoyed how stupid it was.
Yoooo this was my favourite Yu-Gi-Oh! Thing 😂 I had these on DVD and watched them all the time
First!
Nice work man!
Billiam not even first on his own vid
Was going to down vote because of that kind of comment, but I'll give you a pass.
Ironically I just found my Capsule Monsters movie DVD then I get this recommended
Can you look at Godzilla Planet of the Monsters??????????
I remember trying to watch this when I was younger and obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't think I ever made it past the first episode.
