Dude, as a seasoned dad, please don't feel the need to apologize! When it's a new thing, it can feel absolutely draining, and it can be hard to find ways to catch up on sleep. We are here for the playthrough and the dry, top notch shitpost plots, the great facts and research you genuinely put in on the game and all surrounding lore, and especially the birds!
I have a 17 month old who now sleeps through the night! I totally remember the early days lack of sleep! It gets easier! In the meantime thanks for a great video!!
People take sleep for granted. As someone who suffers from insomnia, I can tell you straight out, sleep is a god-damn blessing and those of you who do not suffer from it have no idea how good they have it. As such, welcome to the insomnia club, regardless of how you got there, hope your stay won't be chronic like mine.
Jon_Oh: "Shadi is a terrible duelist. If you lose to him, you suck at this game." Shadi in this run beats Heishin. Shadi: "So, you're saying there's a chance..."
The fact that the Pyro deck was the only other one able to beat Heishin's first encounter kind of shows that, while head Shadi's deck doesn't scale well into the Final Six, he's still good enough to beat the guy.
@@hungerxhunger2548 What are you talking about? Jon_Oh has no reason to lie about Shadi's deck beating Heishin's first encounter, especially when he flat out recorded him actually beating Heishin in the video. If you mean in general, he was limited to the cards AI Shadi could pull from, and the card pool Shadi has is limited to basically the one equip card Jon_Oh used. This is about as realistic as it could get when just using Shadi's cards in this game.
@@antonitocotter447 Funny enough it kinda came back a bit in Duel Links. For whatever reason one of the best free to play decks during the GX and maybe 5D's part of the game to build was a Gem Knights/Thunder Dragon deck with Twin Head in it. Also there was a good Alien deck for free to play grinding too.
Im currently in my 2nd run and I'm ofc rocking twin headed . But my carry monster for the 1nd run for the 6 was b Skull Dragon . I just liked this fusion in fusion
Congrts on fatherhood. In honor of this achivement, i want to cast a vote for the 'angel' type, or as we call them, fairys. In honor of your own little angel
17:44 Honestly, I feel like the devs made Shadi weak so that you don't have to sit through that cutscene for every loss. As a kid who didn't know fusions, this was much appreciated after finally beating Bandit Keith.
Guard: "welcome to the salty spitoon, how though are you?" Jon_Oh: "once i beat yu-gi-oh forbidden memories." Guard: "so what, me too!" Jon_Oh: "using Shadi's cards only." Guard: "right this way sir... please dont hurt me."
it's as they say... Shadi is like a melody in my head that I can't keep out, got me singing like, na na na na, every day, like my eyeballs stuck on replay, replay,eyayeyay
"Turtle sub-type." Man I love this silly-ass game. I would say 'clearly we need a Turtle-Only run,' but I feel like this deck is already like, 80% of what that would be anyways, along with more equips and traps.
Welp. No point doing any other runs. Every duelist in the game threw their hands up and resigned from ever playing again thanks to Shadi. That explains why the game in the anime was forgotten about for thousands of years.
If you wanna know why shadi other alias is Hassan, its a manga only where they go inside the Pharaoh memory. After Zorc revive, Hassan (he calls himself the shadow of millenium item, he also goes inside as Bobasa) comes out and when he defend the group from Zorc attack, the mask crack and turns out its Shadi inside
It would be great to see more of these, beating the game with a card pool of one of the NPCs is such a cool concept. I think Seto would be cool, he's the earliest enemy that has any way to answer a BEUD in the form of dark hole, you get spellbinding circle and swords of revealing light, you get all the field spells but no equip spells, you can't fuse THTD, and you get a 2300 built into the deck. I think 2800 is the best you can do including fusions and field spells.
Jagshamesh! My name is Shadi. I'm here to bamboozle you with my cryptic nonsense that won't pay off for about five seasons. ...I am a ghost! High Five!
yknow man, i swear old school ygo cards have a level of charm that the modern era hasnt hit in a long time. Idk, somethin about Great White, or Neo the mystic swordsman, or queens double. They just feel more iconic than say a new constellar monster.
@@Robuu between that, and i feel like theyve kinda just left the fantasy vibe behind. There arent dragons or warriors, theres "dragon but made out of stars" or its an overdesigned alternate version of the old stuff.
Like the only ones i remember beside Sky Striker cuz I like that is Gem Knight and Shadolls but Shadolls is like double dipping. Also way too many cute things.
Bro I remember pulling a celtic guardian holo as a 10 year old and thought it was beautiful. Also a holo rigeki from a booster pack I slipped inside of a deck my mum bought me (crime never pays), I kept that card till it was stolen by builders in my uni halls (was in a box of other stuff) In my head they were clearly evil duelists who were jealous, probably salty rigeki break owners masquerading as builders.
♫ Go, go, Go Shadi It's your birhtday We gonna party like it's your birthday Sometimes I feel bad for you subjecting yourself to this kind of thing lol
I really appreciate your effort. And commentary in the videos. It gives me that type of satisfaction. That you get talking to someone who has the same interest as you. It almost feels like we're having a discussion about Yu-Gi-Oh. Even though I'm not exchanging words with you. It the closest. Your lore an or trivia gives that same satisfaction.
Aww thank you! Im glad that the trivia and lore isn't boring anyone - it's really in there to fill in the duels otherwise you'd just hear me complaining about things taking too long
You, my man, prefer us to be greatly entertained than keeping your sanity. Thank you for yet another awesome run, and congrats on your child! I'm expecting mine for August :)
They do say that "every dog has its day" so I guess Shadi can get one moment of glory. Also, I'm amazed at how good Chakra's model looks, a lot of the models in Forbidden Memories are hilariously janky looking but this one is very accurate.
Modern Yu-Gi-Oh needs to slow down otherwise I won't be able to play it anymore. I'll just be collecting the cards. That's why it's so refreshing watching this man at work.
I wanted to do the joke of showing Niravana high paladin to my friend and watch him wig out but he like blocked it or didnt even try reading it. But ya, like I get what the cards do but it too much crap with each deck being ablw to pull out this or that or like a evenly match just melting you for the sin of "literally only way to stomp average turn 1 plays"
I mean hell I love blue eyes as a deck despite being bricky in not speed I have a problem more WTF on power creap plus alest it not as bad 2017 to 2019 ftks ftks ftks everywhere in that format
Modern yugioh has more of a problem with over centralization than with it being too fast. Most archetypes have a card that searches, one that special summons itself and/or constantly recur with little variation. Even the funny trap deck, Labyrinth, became a combo deck albiet on a much smaller scale. When your end game still tends to either end a board of generic negates, one big unaffected by all cards monster or a combination of the above, it gets really boring playing after a while unless you play under different restrictions with friends or something. Pokemon has the same issue where the deck lists have 80% of the same consistency cards and pokemon with a small smattering of your unique deck core due to how powercreep and the generic "goodstuff" cards tend to stay relevant for a while. tldr card games bad

Dude seriously now...seeing you beating the game I couldn't even finish is absolutely hilarious! Also you are quite the storytelling genius, didn't think I could watch an hour long video about this...but now I have watched them all, multiple times... Keep up the freakin' good work!
serpent night dragon is actually one of my favourite early yugioh monsters as well as baby dragon and harpie's pet dragon n i guess the sheep/ goat tokens if those count (if they do those might be my favourites. the filler episode where the ai uses dna surgery on scapegoat to poly into FHD is one of my favourites, i just thought that idea and animation was really cool)
I loved the part where Shadi said "It's Shading Time" and banged his head against the wall that is the Final 6 50+ time until he scored a win. Truly, the most Shadi moment possible.
So first off: ouch for the 25 Seto 3rd and 23 Heishin 2 duels. And 60 final 6 attempts? That’s just miserable. But is it just me or does Sea King Turtle look like it’s wearing a party hat? Also congrats once again on fatherhood, hope you’re not suffering too badly with the lack of sleep. Looking forward to more runs as and when you get time.
Lillylazer_666 you are seriously too kind, thank you! You've unlocked some sort of core memory with sea king dragon, my brain vaguely remembers a pic of it with a party hat in the past from somewhere And thank you! the lack of sleep has it's own challenges but it's worth it in the end. Runs may be a bit slower, but they are definitely still in progress :)
I've almost "watched" all of your runs till the end. Tbh, I turn em on when I go to bed and mostly fall asleep after the "Shadi sucks at this game" part. To this day, I don't even know if you've ever finished a challenge. 🤔 But thanks for putting me asleep over the last couple weeks 👌😎
That was absolutely amazing. Congrats, Jon_Oh!! A few things I thought when watching the video: - It's possible and painful to use Swords of Revealing Light by fusing Shadow Spell + Dark Piercing Light. Unfortunately Shadow Spell is locked on Pocketstation as well, but can be fused from Spellbinding Circle + Spellbinding Circle. - On these tough runs you should standardize using Magic Lock. Magic Lock works by having a card on your side whose basic ATK is lower than the opponent, but higher due to equip cards (field magic DO count, though). The opponent does not consider the equip cards for this check and that's why the suicide glitch works. Magic lock will prevent any magics such as Raigeki to be used while you fulfill this magic lock condition (the AI does not think its worth Raigeking you because your monster is "weaker", although it won't attack as you as well, unless in suicide glitch conditions). - Sometimes it's scary going for a fake out with low LP (maybe preparing for suicide glitch) against opponents that have Final Flame or other direct damage magic cards. You can prevent them to use it by having a back row magic or trap card (any one works). Looking forward to the next one! I'll love to see Simon getting his revenge.
Thank you! I do sometimes dip into the above strats but not consciously as my main win condition. Swords is gonna be useful for a much later run where I'm basically locked to certain monsters
Definitely love the idea of doing runs with character decks and Shadi was a heck of way to start. The commentary and trivia, as always, were great. There was a lot about Shadi I didn't even know about. I still hope to see the Aqua type run, but if you are also taking suggestions for character runs, I would love to see you try using the Labyrinth Mage's deck at some point.
Much appreciated! Not taking character suggestions yet till i get through the main monster runs. Gives me a chance to analyse the monster types / trivia before i get to their users. +1 to aqua, its definitely going to be an interesting type (thank poseidon for UMI)
Run Suggestion: Smash or Pass AKA if the monster you would not smash then the card you must pass Regular Rules Except Any Monster Card you Use you have to be willing to smash Spell and Trap Cards are free to use as you please Yes this run would be a meme But i want to see it regardless of that
Bold of you to assume my kinks. Slap an electro-whip on mommy hitotsu-me giant (calling it female as the card is actually compatible with it funnily enough)
17:10 Yugi and Joey excited about being in finals…. “Guys calm down, Shadi is in the freaking tourney.” OOOOOOOOOF ALSO edit 1:10:00 I thought it was super cool seeing some of the models go fighting at it. :D
Oh now I see why Shadi is considered a joke due to looking at the game code. While he has a decent deck (including being able to access at least 1 Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon), in reality, the deck really struggles during the mid to late game by having small engines mixed in with no real cohesion. The good cards he does have are okay, but they need heavy support like the few equip cards he has. You really make these challenges entertaining and I learn something new every video about Forbidden Memories. 56:52 Sick Alt art for the card.
Another great video. I have a video suggestion that I think you'll like: A run showing off surprising or surprisingly useful fusions! I feel like most of us end up seeing the same old same old Twin Headed, Magical Sand, etcetera, and it could be really fun to show off some of the less seen fusions in the game.
Alright everyone, say it with me now: “Shadi is an absolute pushover of a duelist. If you lose to him, you suck at this game, and you should immediately stop playing.”
27:14 I'd love to see a "Can You Beat YuGiOh Forbidden Memories As Unruly Pet Birds" Just as many interrupts, traps, 'no u' cards, and frankly obnoxious monsters as you can have.
If I was to do a type for each holiday it would be as follows Valentines Day: female St. Patrick's Day: jar or exodia (cuz only the power of booze could make THAT deck work) Independence Day (or national equivalent): warrior or thunder Easter: beast Thanksgiving: wingedbeast Halloween: fiend or spellcaster Christmas: fairy
@Jon_Oh for St.Patric's day, I'd take a shot of something each time I lose. That something would have consumable alcohol in it, but only an amount that I could handle taking repeated shots from. Just because my Irish, Welsh, and Hispanic blood can handle being 50% booze doesn't mean everyone else can😏🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I think you deserve to have a fun/easy run after this. Maybe a Seto run or something. But like you are stuck using seto 1 until you beat seto 1, seto 2 until you beat seto 2. Ect ect.
In addition, Shadi is the Guardian of the Tomb, and that's where his other name comes from. He's a ghost from ancient Egypt that has waited for the Pharoah for 3000 years.
Jamesc... it's like you have access to my private raw footage or something. I'm actually VERY SLOWLY chipping away at another Digimon World 1 randomizer that i can upload to youtube. I can say thus far im at prosperity 25, got my ass kicked by greymon and still haven't unlocked a shop
I don't know how often you read comments on stuff a few days after you post, but a terrible idea would be a clown monster deck. 3 Available in the starting deck and a 4th from duel master K while the hardest hitter period is 1500. And there's actually a decent amount of equips available early on pre-tournament.
You are the 2nd person to request this surprisingly, i'll get on to subtypes/gimmicks after the main types are done. Also thoughts on having Souls Hunter in the clown list?
@@Jon_Oh Well I suppose the game itself does call it a clown, seems fair game to me. Also best of luck on whatever your next main type run will be, I look forward to it.
Never thought a meme you made would have comeback to bite you in the arse man! BUT! You were victorious!!! That's the important thing! Still I had no idea each duelist had different cards they can use against you... Wish younger me knew that! Also when you do the Machine deck run... How bout making it Mad Max theme? Death Machines... Wasteland... seems like a good recipe for a run!
Honestly, I never thought shadi as a good guy as more so as a force of nature, with his greatest goal to watch over the millienum items and to make sure they Don't fall into unworthy hands. He probably kept an eye on yugi simply for the sake that he is the wielder of the puzzle and wanted to make sure that yugi was on the correct path to fix what is necessary and put the pieces to rest.
Wait, it's already april first where you live? I expected to watch this video tomorrow xDDDDDDD Either way, I'll start watching now, you dropped this right in time for dinner. Love your content, you really manage to make your replays of this game stand out
I definitely saw one of the earlier opponents pull off a ritual summon once and I had no idea what was happening. I never made it passed Rex as a kid so it had to be one of the early past people.
you know i think i like this type of video better than the ones based on card type. you actually get to interact with the game's main mechanic of fusing here, and it feels more like a challenge working around the fusions you have access to
Shadi isn’t a good or bad guy, he's more an amoral problem creator. He doesn’t have any distinct goals positive or negative, but everything he does creates problems.
WOW! I had the feeling that Shadi run would have happened as the April Fools run, but holy moly you went TOO FAR for a joke!!! Gotta say, I'm actually impressed that it ended up working out, and yeah, Shadi will SAVOUR that top spot 'cause he'll go down the sh!tter FAST. Also congrats on becoming a dad. You win *victory music intensifies* sleep deprivation... and a Fairy run deck (with a side of Teana 2 since she's struggling with her fairy run)
Thank you LKG! you and me both, i was genuinely expecting to lose to the mages. The sleep deprivation is real and a teana/fairy deck is probably the best way to pass the time waiting for the little one to sleep lol
Apologies for the voice levels going a bit quiet mid-video. Recorded this when sleep was about #3 on my priority list.
Dude, as a seasoned dad, please don't feel the need to apologize! When it's a new thing, it can feel absolutely draining, and it can be hard to find ways to catch up on sleep.

Shadi has decided that he will no longer help the main charactwr and instead, become the main character
Shadi has main character syndrome
With all the shenanigans he pulls in the manga, he figgin acts like one
Our savior Shad-di, always carrying the game as always
He technically lore wise kicked off most of the characters in the series. Bakura, marik, Pegasus, d'va etc.

And thank you! the lack of sleep has it's own challenges but it's worth it in the end. Runs may be a bit slower, but they are definitely still in progress :)
I've almost "watched" all of your runs till the end. Tbh, I turn em on when I go to bed and mostly fall asleep after the "Shadi sucks at this game" part. To this day, I don't even know if you've ever finished a challenge. 🤔 But thanks for putting me asleep over the last couple weeks 👌😎
haha no problem!
That was absolutely amazing. Congrats, Jon_Oh!!
A few things I thought when watching the video:
- It's possible and painful to use Swords of Revealing Light by fusing Shadow Spell + Dark Piercing Light. Unfortunately Shadow Spell is locked on Pocketstation as well, but can be fused from Spellbinding Circle + Spellbinding Circle.
- On these tough runs you should standardize using Magic Lock. Magic Lock works by having a card on your side whose basic ATK is lower than the opponent, but higher due to equip cards (field magic DO count, though). The opponent does not consider the equip cards for this check and that's why the suicide glitch works. Magic lock will prevent any magics such as Raigeki to be used while you fulfill this magic lock condition (the AI does not think its worth Raigeking you because your monster is "weaker", although it won't attack as you as well, unless in suicide glitch conditions).
- Sometimes it's scary going for a fake out with low LP (maybe preparing for suicide glitch) against opponents that have Final Flame or other direct damage magic cards. You can prevent them to use it by having a back row magic or trap card (any one works).
Looking forward to the next one! I'll love to see Simon getting his revenge.
Thank you! I do sometimes dip into the above strats but not consciously as my main win condition. Swords is gonna be useful for a much later run where I'm basically locked to certain monsters
Congrats on your updates in life; condolences to your previous one. Thanks for the vid during the chaotic transition!
The accuracy, thank you!
I just wanted to say, I greatly appreciate the moonlight greatsword reference from bloodborne lol
That boss was a friggin 2v1 with the camera being on NG+4
This and Jrose11 have been like a drug for me
Definitely love the idea of doing runs with character decks and Shadi was a heck of way to start. The commentary and trivia, as always, were great. There was a lot about Shadi I didn't even know about. I still hope to see the Aqua type run, but if you are also taking suggestions for character runs, I would love to see you try using the Labyrinth Mage's deck at some point.
Much appreciated! Not taking character suggestions yet till i get through the main monster runs. Gives me a chance to analyse the monster types / trivia before i get to their users. +1 to aqua, its definitely going to be an interesting type (thank poseidon for UMI)
This is either the most confidence shattering, or confidence building run possible.
If Shadi can beat Forbidden Memories, why can't/so can you.
I wouldn't go as far to say confidence boosting when the clown still took 60 friggin tries at the final 6
Shadi is a melody in my head..
oh good lord. I havent even started the video and I already... ALREADY, pray for you Jon-oh lol. but I eagerly watch with excitement!
Haha enjoy
I was just thinking about earlier today when you were to upload a new video and here it is!
🫡
Can’t wait for this channel to pop off, love the videos
Aww thanks my dude!
I really liked the character lore as you play as them thing, that was fun!
it was fun researching , i never really read the mangas so it was interesting to learn
1:12:00 No Duel Master K duel?
Already did it in the Duel Master K video before this one :P
Run Suggestion:
Smash or Pass
AKA if the monster you would not smash then the card you must pass
Regular Rules Except Any Monster Card you Use you have to be willing to smash
Spell and Trap Cards are free to use as you please
Yes this run would be a meme
But i want to see it regardless of that
Bold of you to assume my kinks. Slap an electro-whip on mommy hitotsu-me giant (calling it female as the card is actually compatible with it funnily enough)
@@Jon_Oh i mean the hard part would probably be to explain those kinks to your wife (and child once they are old enaugh and find the video)
17:10
Yugi and Joey excited about being in finals….
“Guys calm down, Shadi is in the freaking tourney.”
OOOOOOOOOF
ALSO edit 1:10:00
I thought it was super cool seeing some of the models go fighting at it. :D
Hopefully i remember to include more 3D fights in these videos!
I like these videos a lot. It hits the Forbidden Memories nostalgia and the story telling is similar to Summoning Salt.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.I aim to please
Oh now I see why Shadi is considered a joke due to looking at the game code.
While he has a decent deck (including being able to access at least 1 Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon), in reality, the deck really struggles during the mid to late game by having small engines mixed in with no real cohesion. The good cards he does have are okay, but they need heavy support like the few equip cards he has.
You really make these challenges entertaining and I learn something new every video about Forbidden Memories.
56:52 Sick Alt art for the card.
I think half the battle is knowing what to focus on with his deck. Thankfully we didn't have any bad guardian star matchups
Another jon oh vid just dropped
Another great video. I have a video suggestion that I think you'll like: A run showing off surprising or surprisingly useful fusions!
I feel like most of us end up seeing the same old same old Twin Headed, Magical Sand, etcetera, and it could be really fun to show off some of the less seen fusions in the game.
Basically a different fusion has to be showcased for every duel? Hmmmmmm interesting
Loved the bloodborne reference!
Alright everyone, say it with me now:
“Shadi is an absolute pushover of a duelist. If you lose to him, you suck at this game, and you should immediately stop playing.”
27:14 I'd love to see a "Can You Beat YuGiOh Forbidden Memories As Unruly Pet Birds" Just as many interrupts, traps, 'no u' cards, and frankly obnoxious monsters as you can have.
More than likely they'll run off with the keyboard buttons. Every duel I'm banned from a button press
If I was to do a type for each holiday it would be as follows
Valentines Day: female
St. Patrick's Day: jar or exodia (cuz only the power of booze could make THAT deck work)
Independence Day (or national equivalent): warrior or thunder
Easter: beast
Thanksgiving: wingedbeast
Halloween: fiend or spellcaster
Christmas: fairy
Gosh it's going to be a busy year!
@Jon_Oh for St.Patric's day, I'd take a shot of something each time I lose. That something would have consumable alcohol in it, but only an amount that I could handle taking repeated shots from. Just because my Irish, Welsh, and Hispanic blood can handle being 50% booze doesn't mean everyone else can😏🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
As someone who plays modern yugioh and just stumbled onto this channel holy heck this channel is great.
Really love your Forbidden Memories content, please continue your good work 😊
Greetings from Europe and best wishes for you and your family ❤
Thank you! Next video should be out in 1-2 weeks if all goes well :)
I think you deserve to have a fun/easy run after this. Maybe a Seto run or something. But like you are stuck using seto 1 until you beat seto 1, seto 2 until you beat seto 2. Ect ect.
Forbidden Memories Progression series :P
In the manga, Shadi literally gouges out Pegasus' eye before putting the millennium eye in. Pegasus did not get a choice in this.
In addition, Shadi is the Guardian of the Tomb, and that's where his other name comes from. He's a ghost from ancient Egypt that has waited for the Pharoah for 3000 years.
Thanks for the fun video, im excited for the eventual character rankings after the current series
You and me both! Thank you
CAn you?
Maybe.
But should you?
Definitely not, but what do I know, I'm not a masochist.
"Jagshamesh, my name is Shadi. It seems this Jon_Oh boy isn't as jewish as I first thought."
This is a reference to the abridged series for context.
Wah wah wee wah. It appears I have found another who cannot think about the abridged Shadi whenever he appears. High five!
Gosh I miss those
@@Jon_Oh would you believe a new episode just dropped today?
i literally came into your video because of the glitched sea turtle fusion reel lol love your themed runs man
Thank you for another amazing video Jon_Oh can't wait to see the next forbidden memories video in 2 months
Should be out within the next 2 weeks!
@@Jon_Oh holy! I will be waiting with notifs on
Shadi was actually a ghost all along? What is this, Ace Attorney?
the video i've been waiting for
In this moment, Shadi was both happy and disappointed after playing with himself 🤦♂️
Now, I have the image of Trustan and Duke being shaved by Shadi in my head. I can't stop giggling to myself.
Love these videos, I have a huge amount of nostalgia for forbidden memories! Did you ever play the original Digimon World?
Jamesc... it's like you have access to my private raw footage or something. I'm actually VERY SLOWLY chipping away at another Digimon World 1 randomizer that i can upload to youtube. I can say thus far im at prosperity 25, got my ass kicked by greymon and still haven't unlocked a shop
without a shadi of a doubt, yet another masterpiece, Jon!
and congrats on being a dad! with your guidance, your kid will never lose to shadi
Aww thank you Degnique! knowing my luck they'll grow up and be a into sports or something (polar opposite of me)
Now beat the game with Teana's deck.
Lol +1 to teana
One April fools to another, you have my sympathy, Shadi.
I don't know how often you read comments on stuff a few days after you post, but a terrible idea would be a clown monster deck. 3 Available in the starting deck and a 4th from duel master K while the hardest hitter period is 1500. And there's actually a decent amount of equips available early on pre-tournament.
You are the 2nd person to request this surprisingly, i'll get on to subtypes/gimmicks after the main types are done. Also thoughts on having Souls Hunter in the clown list?
@@Jon_Oh Well I suppose the game itself does call it a clown, seems fair game to me. Also best of luck on whatever your next main type run will be, I look forward to it.
"Clearing away his last pathetic monster" getting Exodia'd after insulting Mage Solider like that would've been poetic
🤣
Never thought a meme you made would have comeback to bite you in the arse man!
BUT!
You were victorious!!! That's the important thing!
Still I had no idea each duelist had different cards they can use against you... Wish younger me knew that!
Also when you do the Machine deck run... How bout making it Mad Max theme? Death Machines... Wasteland... seems like a good recipe for a run!
+1 to machines (coming sooner than you think) and i honestly shocked myself with the victory. Thank you my dude!
Honestly, I never thought shadi as a good guy as more so as a force of nature, with his greatest goal to watch over the millienum items and to make sure they Don't fall into unworthy hands. He probably kept an eye on yugi simply for the sake that he is the wielder of the puzzle and wanted to make sure that yugi was on the correct path to fix what is necessary and put the pieces to rest.
Pretty much this lol I think its metal how each item needed 99 human sacrifices to be made
I am sorry for the pain you had to endure in the making of this video
Hence why i started this all the way back in February 😅
Jon_Oh dropping the banger vids like usual.
My condolences for dealing with this run. I think a run with machines may help out.
I second this
Coming very soon i promise
Amazing video Jon-Oh! You're the best
No u :) thanks again adair!
This is a really cool idea for a challenge, thanks for the great YFM content!
My pleasure!
Wait, it's already april first where you live?
I expected to watch this video tomorrow xDDDDDDD
Either way, I'll start watching now, you dropped this right in time for dinner.
Love your content, you really manage to make your replays of this game stand out
Hope you enjoyed dinner and thank you!
I definitely saw one of the earlier opponents pull off a ritual summon once and I had no idea what was happening. I never made it passed Rex as a kid so it had to be one of the early past people.
Only one i can think of is seto 1 with black luster ritual and i think his AI is smart enough to pull it off
Jesus Christ, that was quite the roller coaster! I’m impressed how far you were able to take Shadi’s deck 😃
You and me both!
Still waiting for the women run, but i guess it can take a backseat for the obvious 4/20 plant run
Lol guess im a bit late to both, women run will be later when wifey isn't busy dealing with baby to voice it
I dont think ive stopped watching these for almost a week, why cant I stop?
Not gonna help your cause when i drop my next one in 1.5 weeks
WOOOO HES BACK BABY
Glad to see an video on Easter here in the USA
you know i think i like this type of video better than the ones based on card type. you actually get to interact with the game's main mechanic of fusing here, and it feels more like a challenge working around the fusions you have access to
I genuinely have more fun with it and consider it an actual puzzle rather than blind attack point slamming
@@Jon_Oh cant wait for the teana video then :)
Shadi isn’t a good or bad guy, he's more an amoral problem creator. He doesn’t have any distinct goals positive or negative, but everything he does creates problems.
It was quite nice of Shadi to shave Yugi’s friends after trying to kill them
WOW! I had the feeling that Shadi run would have happened as the April Fools run, but holy moly you went TOO FAR for a joke!!! Gotta say, I'm actually impressed that it ended up working out, and yeah, Shadi will SAVOUR that top spot 'cause he'll go down the sh!tter FAST. Also congrats on becoming a dad. You win *victory music intensifies* sleep deprivation... and a Fairy run deck (with a side of Teana 2 since she's struggling with her fairy run)
Thank you LKG! you and me both, i was genuinely expecting to lose to the mages. The sleep deprivation is real and a teana/fairy deck is probably the best way to pass the time waiting for the little one to sleep lol
Congrats on the baby.
Thanks nert!
