Still can’t get over how this random Italian dude created a self insert Bible fanfic where he met his favourite author and that led to not only a reinvention of catholic worship but also one of the most powerful archetypes in all of Yugioh: what a legend
It also led to the revolution in the Italian language as he wrote it using the dialect, phrases, and syntax of his hometown which lead to it being spread across Italy and overtaking the more traditional Latin-based languages in the country. To put it in the perspective, imagine a book that came out of Texas was so influential, that all of the English speakers you met and all the English taught was spoke in a Texan Southern accent.
@@TDShadow079 And among other things, Dante's Inferno is studied in the third year of high school during Italian literature lessons in practically all of Italy. I can assure you that any Italian person who attended a high school would recognize many of the references of the archetype, even knowing nothing about yugioh, especially Dante, Virgil and Beatrice. Dante in particular is dressed in the same way as he was depicted in his most famous image.
2:07 Dante putting himself into defense position each time he attacks may be a reference to how he faints at the end of each chapter (Canto) of his journey into Inferno, overwhelmed by the dark, unwelcoming and disturbing places and things he faces.
Sure. Dante's Divine Comedy was so powerful and influential it made the Florentine dialect of Latin the eventual Italian grammar But it wasn't complete until YGO made an archetype about it
Me too, especially 3yrs ago I made a good invoked witchcrafter deck and want to merge endimions in a total 54 card deck where almost every card has a play that's effective.......

Wow, this is a surprise. I came for Yu-Gi-Oh trivia, and got the origins for the names of the Four Archfiends (Scarmiglione, Barbaricia, Cagnazio, and Rubicante) from Final Fantasy IV. The more you know ^^
@@morthozst-n-rusalye BA would probably would be tier 0 in 2012 format Not many decks had the ability of having never ending floating effects, basically excelent resource management and also the speed to spam a board with ease with multiple boss monsters. If I remember correctly 2012 format was pretty slow, it wasn't until Dragon Rulers was released where the game spiked in speed. There was still a heavy influence of set 5 backrow decks and +0 or +1 mini combo decks in 2012
I honestly just love how they have taken inspiration from so many sources to create archetypes and cards in Yu-Gi-Oh, up to and including an Epic Poem that's just considered one of the most important text of Italian literature.
It's been 9 years since i'd played this deck in all it's variants. When I knew this deck came as an exclusive for TCG i was reading the Divine Comedy at the same time and i was hyped. I've own the 3 decks representing the 3 paths that Dante must cross: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso; Burning Abyss, Infernoid and Darklords.
I find it kinda amusing that Pegasus used this deck during a YCS character duel... largely because it's Pegasus, though he was giving nice details of the story while using the deck to mop the Floor with Joey.
I love this episode. I especially like the explanation not just of the story, but how story informed game mechanics. Games or whatever that can do that within a pre-established format are amazing to me.
Awesome video!! It’s also cool because I had no idea that the 4 elemental fiends from Final Fantasy 4 had their roots in Dante’s Inferno!! Also the video game Dante’s Inferno!!!
These lore videos in which you expllain not only the story of the archetype and references to other things, but how the lore is actually reflected onto the archetype's effects and mechanics are so good. They're like a drug, in a good sense. I need moar.
Another very interesting archetype could be the infernobles, which are based on Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso", basically a fanfiction of a fanfiction of the Chanson de Roland, which I doubt is just as known as King Arthur's story.
@@Ramsey276one It is a satirical retelling for the most part (May be mixing it with Orlando Innamorato) as the Paladins and most characters are made caricatures for the sake of comedy and social commentary (Look what they did to my boy Roland...) it features insane tales like Astolfo cross dressing to convince his cousin he wasn't actually in love with the Chinese princess who flew to France so that a German King could marry her with an Egyptian knight in Spain (Angelica Cathay is the most bonkers character to ever de made in chivalry tales) but that he was actually just horny. It also features Astolfo bedding every married woman on Europe to prove a point, a danish knight bedding Morgan le Fay from Arthurian Legends (The crossovers here are weird man) and much more. Orlando Innamorato and Orlando Furioso have done so much damage to the reputation of Roland that it isn't even funny...
@@CrnaStrela Probably, Infernoble Knights are based on the satirical accounts instead of a legend that was believed at some point like the regular Noble Knights who are mostly based on early Welsh versions with adaptations from later retellings. People believed for some time that there was a King Arthur with some cool sword and then people started making shit up, the regular NK follow the Welsh names to show them as the real deal, as that's where most early Arthurian legend was written before the French made their fanfiction (No offense to them, that fanfiction is honestly cool as hell and back). Infernoble follow the Italian names which were only used in satirical contexts, if the Italians wanted to talk about Charlemagne seriously they often used the Latin names of his paladins. It's also why they have so many later characters as depicted in those later tales, Angelica has a Chinese dress, Bradamante is a Paladin, Astolfo is a crossdresser, and so on. I actually like most of the introductions BTW, I just hate they made Roland a laughing matter without giving him more depth, guy didn't have the most epic song just to be called a simp by a later Italian dude.
As other people in the comments suggested, an in depht analysis of the Noble Kights and Infernoble Knights and their original references (King Arthur and Orlando Furioso) would be really cool.
I'll not get tired of saying this is my favorites topics, instead than learning of the game, learning the lore behind the card is just another level of entertainment.
You should do a similar episode on the mathmech cards. Each of them relates to a mathematical operation. For some like addition and multiplication it's pretty self explanatory but some like magma or laplacian are more obscure
I love the Divine Comedy, Dante made a self insert story and shoved so many people from the past and the then present into hell, including his own teacher (coz he's gay), and inserted his crush Beatrice in his work (again). I appreciate The Terminus of the Burning Abyss a lot because it's not only accurate to the poem, but also the poet Dante is such a simp for Beatrice, his love is so pure, he idealized Beatrice and I imagine he would probably faint from just the hand-holding lol.
BA to this day is still my favorite deck so i really liked this lore video if possible please make this a serie, there are lot of cards and arch-type filled with lore. Suggestion for the next arch-type to cover: dark world and purley i know they have lore , i even hear a bit of the lore from other youtubers so i think they would be a easy choise, another easy choise would be kashtira and tearlaments. Now one that i dont know if there is any lore is despia / bystial so those may come as a pleasant surprise
I also want to point out the similarities between Dante's Divine Comedy and Vergilius' Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus travelling to the underworld to find his loved one.
BA is still my fav archtype because of its lore and creative gameplay, I really wish Konami would go back and add more, there's so much more they can add from Divine comedy, I think they could of used a ferry from the story like Charon, Phlegyas, Nessus or Geryon plus Geryon would of been so cool reimagined as a Yugioh dragon and Dante's mount, especially since the archtype utilizes medieval types like warrior, fiend, spellcaster and fairy.
I love how Cherubini is a Angel (XYZ-Monster) in disguise (2× Level 3 Monsters); dragging One of Paradiso (Deck) to Inferno (GY) and uses his power to increase the power of a BA in Purgatorio (Field).
A little nitpick I have with the archetype is everyone saying Beatrice as "Beatris" pronounciation. When you see the OCG card and is clearly the italian pronounciation "Beatriche"
This give me an idea for a Book of Revelations tie in card: _The Red Dragon of the Burning Abyss_ (DARK) Level 12 Dragon/Fusion/Effect “Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss” + 5+ Fiend monsters _Must be fusion summoned, or special summoned (From your hand or GY) by Banishing the above cards from your hand, field and/or GY (This is treated as a fusion summon.)

Can only be destroyed, banished or negated by battle with or the effects of a LIGHT or DIVINE monster. If a card is sent to the GY (Quick effect): You can (From your hand or GY) special summon 1 “Burning Abyss” monster OR set 1 burning abyss spell trap card, to either players field. Thrice per turn (Quick effect), you can shuffle 1 “Burning Abyss” card from your hand, field or GY into your deck to activate 1 of the following effects: ⚪️Activate 1 field spell card directly from your hand, deck or GY. ⚪️Increase your LP and/or this card’s ATK/DEF by the combined ATK/DEF of the shuffled monster. ⚪️Destroy 1 card on the field or in either players hands. ⚪️Set 1 spell/trap card from your hand, deck or GY. ⚪️Special summon 1 level 4 or lower non-LIGHT Fairy, Fiend, Dragon or Wyrm monster from your hand, deck or GY. ⚪️Draw 1 card._ ATK/0 DEF/0
Generic effects to activate field / set traps doesn't end good, specially since can be done by shuffling from gy one of their resources Not bad anyways
@@Jyxero By “doesn’t end good”, do you mean it to be the effects are “too weak” or “too strong”? Because I could see deck setups that make the case for either or.

There's also the fact that they played with the relevance of the numbers 3, 6 and 9 with the levels of the monsters, with 3 being Dante at the start of his voyage as well as the lesser demons, 6 being his guides in Virgil first and Beatrice second (as well as the most important authority of hell in the deck) and 9 being Dante finally at the end of his journey. 3 and its multiples were (and are) very important numbers in Christianity, for the fact that God would be 3 entities at the same time. For this reason in the divine comedy you have things like the macro-arcs being 3, the total number of poems being 33 and such. Nice touches!
12:01 I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but, giving Barbar the highest attack of the non-Malacoda Main Deck monsters could be in reference to him being the second highest in rank. Pretty neat if so!
Virgil's ability allowing you to draw a card when he goes to the graveyard is likely a reference to the blessing he gave to Dante so he could survive the cleansing fire that barred the way to Paradiso.
y'know, you could make an entire series summarizing various lore bits related to the Master Guides, maybe even go so far as to draw attention to those books to begin with
You could talk about Magikey. It’s officially inspired by the Ars Goetia, or Key of Solomon. Unofficially, it’s also probably inspired by Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts series.
fun archetype, interesting video. I just want to go a little deeper into beatrice just because the ygo counterpart is a very romanzed and idealistic idea and might aswell talk about it. Keeping it short, we don't know a thing about Beatrice in real life, not even her name to be precise: Logs talked about a certain Portinari as being the real life counterpart and love child of dante, reality is that Portinari is someone some historics think was the subject of dante's works (because there's more than one) while other (like me personally) think that Beatrice was just an Alias, a way of not addressing the woman he actually loved for maybe political/social/civil reasons, since dante was Married with Gemma di manetto donati (thanks google) with which he had some child (some because we don't know how many, and with who sometimes, in the last 8 years we found out a new child) and it wouldn't be great to have this married politic speak love songs about another woman. In italian Beatrice derives from Beato-Beata which means blessed or blissful in a religious sense therefore a common theory is that beatrice is a pure christian woman or the idea of the pure woman. foot notes as an italian, hearing logs pronunciations was something else, I am okay most of the time because I understand that italian it's neither an easy language nor a commonly studied one, but where da heel did the "E" came out of in PARADISO, *PARADISEO???*
Yeah on the Beatrice part I made sure to call it "apocryphal" because there's no for sure historic proof of it being true. Like with Rubicante, it could've been a secret name situation, or it could've been entirely allegorical. We don't know, but for the sake of the video it's nice to have Beatrice line up with Virgil and Dante as "real" people and that is one of the more popular interpretations.
@@TwoToneShoesdont worry i get it, it's short form video about yu gi oh cards, you shouldn't make it a history lesson and the script was flowing as usual, I wanted to Add upon it since I know about it, not to correct it 😊

I noticed you didn't mention how the demons pop themselves when there is a non-BA monster on the field. This might be for balancing, but we do have one monster that is related to BA but isn't BA herself: Beatrice. I think that Beatrice's very presence can remove sins and demons, thus clearing them out when she arrives on the field.
Something simple to be a part of the next one: how about the Nouvellez archetype? What they're about, what their names mean, etc. I think their names are supposed to be a combination of a demon mixed with a dish from "nouvelle" French cooking that is depicted in their artwork.
Maybe Konami can make an archetype with themes of Buddhism where the Banished pile is the ultimate end goal, aka "escaping the samsara", but it MUST be achieved with their own effects.
Still can’t get over how this random

Rreally loved this video. Thank you!
There's also the fact that they played with the relevance of the numbers 3, 6 and 9 with the levels of the monsters, with 3 being Dante at the start of his voyage as well as the lesser demons, 6 being his guides in Virgil first and Beatrice second (as well as the most important authority of hell in the deck) and 9 being Dante finally at the end of his journey. 3 and its multiples were (and are) very important numbers in Christianity, for the fact that God would be 3 entities at the same time. For this reason in the divine comedy you have things like the macro-arcs being 3, the total number of poems being 33 and such. Nice touches!
3:16 I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING
12:38 I was expecting this joke and I loved it.
I feel like doing noble knights and infernoble knights next for one of these would be so cool
12:01
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but, giving Barbar the highest attack of the non-Malacoda Main Deck monsters could be in reference to him being the second highest in rank. Pretty neat if so!
Did Farfa forced you to make this video?
I expected/hoped you used a picture of Farfa alongside the card.
I was not disappointed.
Virgil's ability allowing you to draw a card when he goes to the graveyard is likely a reference to the blessing he gave to Dante so he could survive the cleansing fire that barred the way to Paradiso.
At this point, you might as well do the lore of other archetypes
This video is informative and also makes me feel silly because I am just now realizing how much Spawn has in common with Dantes Inferno.
beatiful video my dude
"This party's gettin crazy!"
I knew there was gonna be a Farfa jump scare at some point, but it still got me
You should do a video about the Ancient Warriors. It's criminal how many people don't know the origins of these cards.
I got into The Divine Comedy because of the Dante's Inferno game. I figured that's where the concept started and developed from
y'know, you could make an entire series summarizing various lore bits related to the Master Guides, maybe even go so far as to draw attention to those books to begin with
You could talk about Magikey. It’s officially inspired by the Ars Goetia, or Key of Solomon. Unofficially, it’s also probably inspired by Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts series.
Ok Farfa, how many snorlaxs products you give to the spider for this?
fun archetype, interesting video. I just want to go a little deeper into beatrice just because the ygo counterpart is a very romanzed and idealistic idea and might aswell talk about it.
Keeping it short, we don't know a thing about Beatrice in real life, not even her name to be precise: Logs talked about a certain Portinari as being the real life counterpart and love child of dante, reality is that Portinari is someone some historics think was the subject of dante's works (because there's more than one) while other (like me personally) think that Beatrice was just an Alias, a way of not addressing the woman he actually loved for maybe political/social/civil reasons, since dante was Married with Gemma di manetto donati (thanks google) with which he had some child (some because we don't know how many, and with who sometimes, in the last 8 years we found out a new child) and it wouldn't be great to have this married politic speak love songs about another woman. In italian Beatrice derives from Beato-Beata which means blessed or blissful in a religious sense therefore a common theory is that beatrice is a pure christian woman or the idea of the pure woman.
foot notes
as an italian, hearing logs pronunciations was something else, I am okay most of the time because I understand that italian it's neither an easy language nor a commonly studied one, but where da heel did the "E" came out of in PARADISO, *PARADISEO???*
Yeah on the Beatrice part I made sure to call it "apocryphal" because there's no for sure historic proof of it being true. Like with Rubicante, it could've been a secret name situation, or it could've been entirely allegorical. We don't know, but for the sake of the video it's nice to have Beatrice line up with Virgil and Dante as "real" people and that is one of the more popular interpretations.
@@TwoToneShoesdont worry i get it, it's short form video about yu gi oh cards, you shouldn't make it a history lesson and the script was flowing as usual, I wanted to Add upon it since I know about it, not to correct it 😊
Awesome video. Please do noble/ignoble/infernoble knights!
Stay tuned :)
When you overlay Beatrice over Dante is that her topping Dante 😳😳
I liked this video a lot!!
0:44 having known this, the 2014 format meta is lore-ly sane, "the life-death" format
Qli vs Shaddol vs BA
Qli; abnormality of souls shall be terminated
Shaddol: out of the loop from life-death cycle of DT world
BA: afterlife's fate of a soul
I noticed you didn't mention how the demons pop themselves when there is a non-BA monster on the field. This might be for balancing, but we do have one monster that is related to BA but isn't BA herself: Beatrice. I think that Beatrice's very presence can remove sins and demons, thus clearing them out when she arrives on the field.
I thought about that but Malacoda unfortunately doesn't have that weakness so it doesn't quite line up.
I just realized that you can make beatrice with virgil, showing how they are both guides of dante
Enjoyed this content
You can hear him trying hard to pronounce the names of stuff in italian
That was pretty interesting.
I would still like to see an episode with random cards such as masked beast des gardius or tri horned dragon/seiyaryu
This was always one of my wishes to go through
Burning Abyss is a Divine Comedy of an archetype.
Thanks to this video i now know the 4 fiends from FF4 are named after Divine Comedy demons
Barbar’s beard is as phenomenal as the one TheDuelLogs has.
Why the BA -no die- unknown side?
This is the best archetype
Something simple to be a part of the next one: how about the Nouvellez archetype? What they're about, what their names mean, etc. I think their names are supposed to be a combination of a demon mixed with a dish from "nouvelle" French cooking that is depicted in their artwork.
Can we get a Kozmos lore vid?
These lore vids are cool.
We need a top 10 true 1 card combos video 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Maybe Konami can make an archetype with themes of Buddhism where the Banished pile is the ultimate end goal, aka "escaping the samsara", but it MUST be achieved with their own effects.
The new Visas cards have samsara theme in them, maybe the next archetype will fully explore that theme
Shoutouts to wendigoon's videos on the divine comedy

"Tax evasion is a CRIME Virgil!!"
"It's an OBLIGATION!!"
The Visas lore would be an interesting one to cover
When it's finished
Soon, I hope!
Crazy how good the deck was when it was only scarm cir and graff
Please let me know what background music is played in this video
9 years 💀
Maybe one day we will get a continuation of Dante's journey through Paradise
So when are we going to BA burning abyss
Yes Burning Abyss, my favorite deck
