One thing I would like to note about the Welsh Dragon connection that you mentioned: Albion (The form that Albaz was locked into for the longest time) was Red, while the new Byssted Lubellion is White...
If i remember correctly, Albion was the white dragon, also known as Y Ddraig Wen, symbolizing the Anglo-saxons. Meanwhile, Y Ddraig Goch, the red dragon symbolized the Welsh people.
So going with the Welsh Dragon myth at the end, wouldn't that mean Albaz's next form is going to be a red dragon? Given that Lubellion's newest form turns them into a White Human Dragon Hybrid.
Albaz: GET DOWN HERE ALUBER, I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE. YOU BIG FUCKING NERD, WHERE'S MY GODDAMN GIRLFRIEND Ecclesia may have been turned into Aluber's side, but i do believe there is still hope to return her back to normal. The fact that she can special summon herself if Albaz is in the field or GY, imo i think implies that she still remember Albaz and her journey with him. GO GET YOUR GF BACK ALBAZ, AVRAM IS CHEERING YOU ON FROM THE GREAT BEYOND MAN
This is such a lovely series. I started getting interested in the YGO tcg recently due to one of the new Archetypes (tearlaments) and I was recommended to start with the Albaz Strike structure deck, to which I found this channel. These videos have gotten me way more attached to this group of characters than I thought I would be, if it all! Defintely going to be thinking about all this lore when I get my decks today lol, and keep up the great content!
Honestly, it feels incredibly sad to see Ecclesia turn to the darkness. When Alba Renatus first appeared, I'd hoped it would of been Ecclesia to free Albaz from the darkness enveloping them within the depths of Aluber's wicked draconic form. Seeing now that Albaz is the one who'll have to free Ecclesia is just saddening. I truly hope he can free her and they can face Aluber together and avert the fate of the two dragons of old with Red arising triumphant. The predecessors to this struggle in Yugioh, Stardust Dragon and Red Dragon Archfiend, usually end in Stardust (The White Dragon) or one of his evolutions winning over Red Dragon Archfiend (The Red Dragon obviously) or his evolutions. So let's hope Albaz can follow in the footsteps of Stardust Dragon. Also good touch having this come out a week after the RDA video released.
I think there's a different meaning of "turned to" and "take control of". Ecclesia was taken controlled by the Despia, but there's still a hope to get her back. The 3 Byssted monsters seemed to be Albaz's form and power originally, so in the future let's hope that there's a way for him to take it back, also a way for him to fuse all his forms together to make a new form. Until now, Albaz himself had 4 form of fusion monster, so there's a chance we can get another Byssted monster in the future.
I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but splight sprind has the despia purple diamond chain thing under it. I think it suggests that somehow aluber was behind the trouble inside discolosseum.
Funnily enough, through looking up names of some of these Albaz Dragons, I’ve found that Albion is the old Brythonic name of Great Britain. While Alba is the Scottish Gaelic name of Scotland and Lenatus(Renatus) is a Latin First Name meaning Born again. I kind of find it all fascinating since most of the names in the Dogmatika/Albaz portion of the lore seem to be Ancient European in inspiration. Example, the direct translation of Fallen of Albaz is actually Fallen Child of Albus, with the name Albus meaning White in Latin.
Oh yeah the red dragon you speak of in that tale is the same red dragon that sits on Merlin's shoulder in the noble knight card, which is a cool reference to how Merlin soothed both the beasts. The white dragon was the one that was invading, and the red one was the one who was defending their land. I see parallels 👀
Am I the only one hoping for a card to be a thematic repeat of 'Dogmatika Encounter' to help un-Despia Ecclesia? Because I think narrative symmetry is neat.
You're not the only one. Since she is Red Cartesia (which I would consider as 'Branded in Red'), perhaps Albaz could fuse with her, or take in the power of the Red Brand from her to fight back against Alba Los.
Perhaps Albaz defends Despia Ecclesia from the Tri-Brigade much like Ecclesia defended Albaz from Dogmatika and because the Brigade goes along with it and because she recognizes her friends, she ultimately joins them?
@@rinuko1222 I don’t think it will be that easy for her to just switch sides of her own free will, as I suspect the Despia has some control over her body. What you say could certainly happen but it would be good if there was a Despia version of Dogmaticacism where the Despia makes her resist going back or just punishes her for doing so. If Ad Libitum is the one who executes this punishment, mwa, perfect.
@@sebastienbusque2312 well Albaz seemingly lost the power to fuse after losing his brand. But instead I would perhaps say Cartesia would be the one to enact the fuse and perhaps somehow Albaz could take on that despia power, idk.
I love that Double Cross art and name is probably also a throwback to Therion Cross, where Sargas and Regulus are punching each other in the face, but instead, on Double Cross, they're bodying a Splight (Gigantic?) together. Probably one my favorite related art in the series.
Looks like we're nearing the final act twist, cause as tradition with these stories there's always one last twist that ends up revealing an even bigger threat that was working behind the scenes. Also calling it right now Albaz's final form is gonna be the God monster that has the reset effect, similar to previous characters.
we already (kinda) have a star god in dogmatika nexus/despian proskenion being level 11, while byssted alba los has the 7000 total stats of a star god. so really, we kinda already have one.
@@alphanbuster9292 It's lacking the reset effect that the other ones have had. They hit the field and either banish or Shuffle everything except themselves back into the deck, with the spell speed for caveat.
I think Therions are actually good guys as well, considering how willing Leo was once freed from Splight’s control, to work with the Spriggans to stop the Splights, and its likely we’ll see them join the tribrigade in the fight.
"Because albaz does not stand alone" the BM with the art that goes extremely hard, I literally got goosebumps. Man them tri-brigade standing unfazed goes way too hard.
I think Cartesia might be the result from that last 666 saint requirement and the amalgamation from Fleur,Ecclesia,and the Dogmatika saintess(forgot her name)
Quem is the name of the Dogmatika Saintess. She previously possessed the girl who was known as the White Relic of Dogmatika before presumably possessing Ecclesia, corrupting her into Cartesia.
About Cartesia you forget something much more funny in regards of Ecclesia. One thing I noticed about any Ecclessia form...they "carry" over improvements (not only type, attribute and stats). The Dogmatika Ecclesia more or less decides to help Albaz. The Swordsoul Ecclesia can summon Albaz which resembles her will to help him, also she turned into a tuner as a Swordsoul. Red Cartesia now, also has an Albaz related Skill (the will to help) and she is a tuner. I bring this up, because some players at my locals did not believe me Cartesia is a tuner, and I said "she is, because she is the next form of ecclesia, why would she lose that?" then they looked up and where shocked, that I was right 🤣
I had gotten the albaz deck and some of the despia cards for my deck. But recently Ive dove head first into the lore and this have made me really liking the deck buying some more cards to flesh it out. It doesnt stop there though. Now I need everything albaz relatated. It is such a cool story and love seeing all the different archtypes interact with each other. Only hope this have a happy ending but how things are going I could see this go wrong. Very wrong.
Now I've got a theory about the lore splight sprind is showing Kitt capturing splight red and splight blue which are the colors of the pendulum scales the one summoning mechanic that counters alba los is pendulum the one summoning mechanic that's never been shown in the lore is pendulum and splights are obsessed with the number 2 the number of cards needed for a pendulum summon the power Kitt was looking for in the splights is pendulum
Just caught up on this whole series in a day , as a branded despia player I loved every bit of this! & I can’t wait to see what new fusion were going to get from albaz next 👽 also I hope we get a monster version of the new aluber form! Imagine if he had a super busted super poly like quick effect from the hand if you control a fusion monster on your field? Lmao that would be crazy 😂
Hmm. I think a certain gacha game, among possible others, had interpreted the Welsh dragon myth as part of its take on Arthurian lore and assigned names to the dragon. One of those names being ...Albion.
The welsh (and white dragon of the saxons) dragons of myth being part of Arthurian Lore has been around since the early 12th century in the Historia Regum Britanniae.
Considering how pendulum cards have been received since their inception along with Konami very blatant attempts to keep the method buried I'm gonna say no. Would be interesting to see though
@@douglasnewdell I mean at least the cards don’t prevent you from doing shit like a full infi-negate board or an exodia deck (then again they’re biased towards it).
Interesting you brought up the tale of the Red Dragon vs The White. Because, at least from what I saw in the Sam Neil Merlin movie, he saw a vision of two dragons fighting. One Red and One White, where the Red conquered the White. And the Red Dragon was the Symbol/Crest..of none other than Uther Pendragon, who was the Father of Arthur Pendragon, aka King Arthur's DAD.
Here before the TCG release of Darkwing Blast, at this point Photon Hypernova has not released any new cards for this storyline, instead putting all the pre-release hype on the Visas Starfrost Story, but hopefully Hypernova has cards that push toward the end of the the Albaz story. Also would like to note, that even though Cartesia supports fusion monsters, she's still a tuner. Albaz's new form after snapping her from the Despia's control could be a Synchro monster, which in itself is a different variety of combining monsters.
The Dragon fight you are taking about is the Red Welsh Dragon vs the White Britanian Dragon. Albaz is based off Welsh Dragon while Aluber is the Christian Britanian church from what I have seen so far. Can not wait to see how the battle ends. They just reversed the "Branded In".
it's satisfying to see everytime monster's effect fits perfectly with the lore. alba los seems the last enemy standing in front of albaz's alliance, which they are focus on link monsters (tri-brigade), ritual (ritual), synchro (swordsouls), xyz (spriggans) and fusion (albaz himself). it's just like vfd aganinst the 4 dimensions
One weird thing I've noticed. Albaz's left eye is from the very beginning until now closed. I don't know if it means anything or not, but it's small detail that might matter, who knows.
I think that Sprind is a fused Mercourier with the scraps from Golgonda. The face seems too similar. Also, after Sprind's first appearance, we've never saw little Mercourier again (the one Albaz and Ecclesia had at least). Maybe Albaz used his power to fuse Mercourier with the scraps.
Okaaaay sooo Albaz is gonna die but the good guys are gonna win cuz of his sacrifice. It makes sense, considering how much has gone bad so fast the plot twist is gonna kick in when Kitt comes back. It's gonna be like some anime plot, where Albaz is gonna talk-no-jutsu his girl back to normal, get a temporary super boost, fight Aluber to seemingly a stalemate, get surprise attack but successfully stabs mr baddy, and the good guys win with a flank. Theeen there's gonna be a romantic thing before Albaz and Aluber dies infinity war style(Aluber throwing a tantrum on the way out) and there's gonna be a sadish epilogue
Ok This was fire as always. Shouts to G-Nova! Damn RIP sister Fleur :( Pour one for Fleur The 666 motif is definitely there. With the Bysted and with the number of saints. But we still don’t know who saint 666 is. This shit is getting scary and doesn’t seem like there will be a happy ending to this story. EvilClesia looks amazing 😻 I see kit pulling up to Albaz with all the iron homies and creating a level 12 Dragon MegaZord kind of monster Tying in the name sprind. Can’t wait for the Madness to begin. I’m cheering for the evil 😈 theatre 🎭 church ⛪️ 🤷🏿♂️
If I'm not mistaken the Welsh legend of the red and white dragon was the following. Long ago a Welsh king wanted to build a new castle to guard against the English, but every night everything they build on the hill would come crumbling down. He summoned a druid to discern the cause and the druid claimed that there are 2 dragons fighting under the hill. The red dragon of Wales and the white dragon of England, the land would never be stable so long as the dragons fight. The red dragon was then added to the flag of wales
Surprised you didn't also mention that the dragons look like monsters from past yugioh archtypes. Lubellion looks like Master pendulum; Saronir looks like Unchained Abomination; Magnumut looks like a dragon form of Unchained sould of anguish/ Aruha or a beefed up harpies pet dragon; And Alba Los looks like Chimeratech Overload dragon.
I think that's more because of Konami just like to recycle arts, it's like that kind of monsters is the Konami's "art style", rather than having any lore significance
all the albaz cards in this set are so god damn shadowbringers and I love it all we need is a warrior version of albaz as a dark knight because aluber is basically Emmet Selch/hades already
This is just my theory, but I think Ecclesia is being possessed like how the saint that replaced her got possessed by the first saint. Why do I think this? Well mostly because Ecclesia's hair turns white just like White Relic of Dogmatika and it explains why she isn't wielding her signature weapon, the hammer. So my ultimate hail mary of a hope is that Fleur is going to purify her from beyond the grave with an heirloom or something. Spell card tribute a monster, destroy a monster on your opponents field then special summon a monster of equal or lower level from your graveyard. XD
I just recently known that the ocg name of incredible ecclesia is ecclesia, the white saint. So it is just makes sense that cartesia is the corrupted(?) version of ecclesia.
The thing I'm most personally excited for with Byssted is how MBT is going to pronounce it. On a separate note, I wonder if these cards will be impactful enough to just make Effect Veiler completely disappear from decks.
I honestly can not wait for the finale of this storyline because Albaz is sure to get one heck of a final boss fusion monster and fusion spell for his final fight against Despia.
Yo yo yo, I am already playing Albaz in my Dragon Link deck as you can summon him with Spheres. Byssted is an archetype that synergizes very well with Branded, which is Albaz's archetype and Dragon link. This engine is definitely the future of the deck imo
You think Kitt will learn to seal Stigmata? The Springguns, Therions, and Sprites are battle machines, gladiators, or beings of an entirely different energy form. Argyro might stem from the Hole but looks unlike everything we've seen so far from Dogmatika or Albaz (except for Sprind but that may just be the extent of Albaz' powers allowing him to fuse with any thing). So far the only thing we've seen seal stigmata are the Icejades. It seems more likely that Kitt will return with more, and perhaps decisive, battle prowess (which might be foretold in Final Battle at Golgonda summoning Springguns).
I am certainly interested though a little unsure of if I want to main Final Battle in my albaz deck, typing this I may side it. The card is great, summon’s Kitt at the end to get you a branded card later, protects your cards from destruction, and can send Albion to the grave which gets you branded card. Only part I’m not sure about is that these days lots of cards don’t destroy but rather, everything else, send to grave, banish, tribute, so yeah.
That story at the end may not seem as bleak as it first looks. The white dragon may lose, but Albaz isn't the white dragon anymore; he already lost and Aluber took his white stigmata. So that story probably had bearing on what we've already seen, but maybe not on future events.
Wait so, if Fleurdelis (spelling?) was killed when she went to Dogmatika to try to end Maximus, how is Ecclesia mourning her loss? Did Quaeritis and Quem bring her body all the way to Swordsoul peak just to inflict despair to her allies? If so, that's even darker. I realize this pertains to the drops before this one but it is curious.
So......does anyone anyone have any idea when the next set comes out because the anticipation on how this ends for my boy albaz and ecclesia is killing me 🤣
I've been playing a thunder dragon bystial deck in omega and, while it's not legal since colossus is only at 1 at most in all formats, it is seriously a lot of fun and has some insane capabilities
did you know that there is yet another story of a duel between a red and white dragon however that one birthed one of the most meme worthy herem animes of all time kidding aside now I understand why draig is known as the "Welsh dragon red dragon emperor" makes more sense now
Huh. The point you bring up about the level 6s being called the Beast-ed and there being 3 of them makes me lean into my personal theory of Lubellion being VFD/True King of All Calamities even more. They both have near identical horn structure, both have lesser creatures under them who are each blue, red, and a more dull colour. They all seem to reference the devil with their name/lore. VFD has the ability of dimension-hopping just like Aluber with the Holes. Heck, (not including the blue one tho) the purple byssted looks like lithosagym with his animal attributes and the red one has more metallic/robot parts like Agnimazud. I'll be so gassed if he ends up being VFD but I can see how that can't happen lmao.
Hey nova , so you know the red and white dragon are used in as a prophecy in the story of king Author, Author is the red dragon that why his last name is pendragon.
Can someone please point to me which tri-brigade is each in the art of "Tri-brigade Last Stand"? I see Ferrijit, but I simply cannot understand the ones on the right side. It looks like Rugal carrying Nervall, or someting like that...
I kinda thought that the Byssted dragons we’re just other dragons from the other side of the Abyss(where Albaz came form. My personal head canon being that they were Alba(proto Albaz and Aluber)’s friends, and they’re following Aluber in an attempt to get their friend back,kinda drawing a parallel to Ecclesia in that sense!
Theory, they have the chains/ binding on the dark byssted because part of ablazes memories are still in them, meaning the need Eclisia to control them otherwise
Imagine Master peace just looking down from heaven on albaz all like: Yeeaaahh. That's my boy right there! (Even tho it isn't Cannon i can't help but think of it as a connected universe with The dracoslayer being an ancestor to albaz like the Avatars or like indra and azura in naruto)
Slightly unrelated to byssted, has anyone else thought that the Splights are just the Springan’s soot form once ignited? Cuz the rockets in Merrymaker haven’t been shown as Springans other than rocky and the blue one in brothers, which leaves 4 more (Jet, Pixies, Carrot and Elf, with gigantic splight being the animated form of the Therion’s Ship’s core). I didn’t mention blue or red as I’m not 100% sure on this theory and we see the blue Springans rocket in Spright smashers. Lemme know what you think and any fixes to this theory please? :)

Should be noted that Cartesia is still a Light Attribute.
She's going to turn into a dragon
I think there's a different meaning of "turned to" and "take control of". Ecclesia was taken controlled by the Despia, but there's still a hope to get her back. The 3 Byssted monsters seemed to be Albaz's form and power originally, so in the future let's hope that there's a way for him to take it back, also a way for him to fuse all his forms together to make a new form. Until now, Albaz himself had 4 form of fusion monster, so there's a chance we can get another Byssted monster in the future.
@@binhanh296 Ecclesia will be that Byssted monster.
@@justice8718 I don't think so personally. If anything, I think She'll wear/be worn by Quaeritis as a form of symbiosis
I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but splight sprind has the despia purple diamond chain thing under it. I think it suggests that somehow aluber was behind the trouble inside discolosseum.
I took it as kitt using all 3 energy
That was always there on Springans Kitt. The Splight just possessed the armor
We noticed, it's mentioned in the video
Funnily enough, through looking up names of some of these Albaz Dragons, I’ve found that Albion is the old Brythonic name of Great Britain. While Alba is the Scottish Gaelic name of Scotland and Lenatus(Renatus) is a Latin First Name meaning Born again.
I kind of find it all fascinating since most of the names in the Dogmatika/Albaz portion of the lore seem to be Ancient European in inspiration.
Example, the direct translation of Fallen of Albaz is actually Fallen Child of Albus, with the name Albus meaning White in Latin.
That’s so cool.
Are you telling me that Aluber is the good guy in the story and we have lived deceived?
If they're tying in Arthurian Mythology now, then is Albaz secretly Artorigus of the Noble Knights?
Oh yeah the red dragon you speak of in that tale is the same red dragon that sits on Merlin's shoulder in the noble knight card, which is a cool reference to how Merlin soothed both the beasts.
The white dragon was the one that was invading, and the red one was the one who was defending their land. I see parallels 👀
And that story ended with both the dragon flying off and fighting sooooo more dimension hopping??
Albaz is one of my favorite decks!! Keep it up!!
Am I the only one hoping for a card to be a thematic repeat of 'Dogmatika Encounter' to help un-Despia Ecclesia? Because I think narrative symmetry is neat.
You're not the only one. Since she is Red Cartesia (which I would consider as 'Branded in Red'), perhaps Albaz could fuse with her, or take in the power of the Red Brand from her to fight back against Alba Los.
Perhaps Albaz defends Despia Ecclesia from the Tri-Brigade much like Ecclesia defended Albaz from Dogmatika and because the Brigade goes along with it and because she recognizes her friends, she ultimately joins them?
That would be so good if there was.
@@rinuko1222 I don’t think it will be that easy for her to just switch sides of her own free will, as I suspect the Despia has some control over her body. What you say could certainly happen but it would be good if there was a Despia version of Dogmaticacism where the Despia makes her resist going back or just punishes her for doing so. If Ad Libitum is the one who executes this punishment, mwa, perfect.
@@sebastienbusque2312 well Albaz seemingly lost the power to fuse after losing his brand. But instead I would perhaps say Cartesia would be the one to enact the fuse and perhaps somehow Albaz could take on that despia power, idk.
imagine making this big lore to a yu-gi-oh Series !!! How cool will that be?! I wish this will happen
Just dont name it Yu-Gi-Oh otherwise you lost a potential viewers
I love that Double Cross art and name is probably also a throwback to Therion Cross, where Sargas and Regulus are punching each other in the face, but instead, on Double Cross, they're bodying a Splight (Gigantic?) together. Probably one my favorite related art in the series.
Looks like we're nearing the final act twist, cause as tradition with these stories there's always one last twist that ends up revealing an even bigger threat that was working behind the scenes. Also calling it right now Albaz's final form is gonna be the God monster that has the reset effect, similar to previous characters.
we already (kinda) have a star god in dogmatika nexus/despian proskenion being level 11, while byssted alba los has the 7000 total stats of a star god. so really, we kinda already have one.
@@alphanbuster9292 It's lacking the reset effect that the other ones have had. They hit the field and either banish or Shuffle everything except themselves back into the deck, with the spell speed for caveat.
@Gacha Fan you mean avida, right?
they even shared the diamons pattern
I think Therions are actually good guys as well, considering how willing Leo was once freed from Splight’s control, to work with the Spriggans to stop the Splights, and its likely we’ll see them join the tribrigade in the fight.
I always saw them as just warriors that loved to fight in there coliseum for the show of it
"Because albaz does not stand alone" the BM with the art that goes extremely hard, I literally got goosebumps. Man them tri-brigade standing unfazed goes way too hard.
I think Cartesia might be the result from that last 666 saint requirement and the amalgamation from Fleur,Ecclesia,and the Dogmatika saintess(forgot her name)
Quem is the name of the Dogmatika Saintess. She previously possessed the girl who was known as the White Relic of Dogmatika before presumably possessing Ecclesia, corrupting her into Cartesia.
About Cartesia you forget something much more funny in regards of Ecclesia.
One thing I noticed about any Ecclessia form...they "carry" over improvements (not only type, attribute and stats).
The Dogmatika Ecclesia more or less decides to help Albaz.
The Swordsoul Ecclesia can summon Albaz which resembles her will to help him, also she turned into a tuner as a Swordsoul.
Red Cartesia now, also has an Albaz related Skill (the will to help) and she is a tuner.
I bring this up, because some players at my locals did not believe me Cartesia is a tuner, and I said "she is, because she is the next form of ecclesia, why would she lose that?" then they looked up and where shocked, that I was right 🤣
Who else thought of High School DxD when Nova mentioned the welsh dragons
I had gotten the albaz deck and some of the despia cards for my deck.
But recently Ive dove head first into the lore and this have made me really liking the deck buying some more cards to flesh it out.
It doesnt stop there though. Now I need everything albaz relatated. It is such a cool story and love seeing all the different archtypes interact with each other.
Only hope this have a happy ending but how things are going I could see this go wrong. Very wrong.
Now I've got a theory about the lore splight sprind is showing Kitt capturing splight red and splight blue which are the colors of the pendulum scales the one summoning mechanic that counters alba los is pendulum the one summoning mechanic that's never been shown in the lore is pendulum and splights are obsessed with the number 2 the number of cards needed for a pendulum summon the power Kitt was looking for in the splights is pendulum
Might be. Would be cool if this lore accommodate every summoning mechanic
ORRRRRRR it's just Kitt having secured Blue and Red :/
Would love for this to happen and get more Pendulum support
Solfachord would appreciate anything at this point
Just caught up on this whole series in a day , as a branded despia player I loved every bit of this! & I can’t wait to see what new fusion were going to get from albaz next 👽 also I hope we get a monster version of the new aluber form! Imagine if he had a super busted super poly like quick effect from the hand if you control a fusion monster on your field? Lmao that would be crazy 😂
Hmm. I think a certain gacha game, among possible others, had interpreted the Welsh dragon myth as part of its take on Arthurian lore and assigned names to the dragon. One of those names being ...Albion.
The welsh (and white dragon of the saxons) dragons of myth being part of Arthurian Lore has been around since the early 12th century in the Historia Regum Britanniae.
We talking about the gacha game that has a character that Accel Synchro Summons herself into a full-on dragon?
@@espurrseyes42 Oh god did MBT predicted the true ace of Branded?
Since these Lore cards have almost every type of summoning method, I wonder if Pendulums would somehow be added as a part of it.
Considering how pendulum cards have been received since their inception along with Konami very blatant attempts to keep the method buried I'm gonna say no. Would be interesting to see though
@@douglasnewdell I don’t get what’s wrong with summoning 3-5 monsters at once.
@@douglasnewdell I mean at least the cards don’t prevent you from doing shit like a full infi-negate board or an exodia deck (then again they’re biased towards it).
Interesting you brought up the tale of the Red Dragon vs The White. Because, at least from what I saw in the Sam Neil Merlin movie, he saw a vision of two dragons fighting. One Red and One White, where the Red conquered the White.
And the Red Dragon was the Symbol/Crest..of none other than Uther Pendragon, who was the Father of Arthur Pendragon, aka King Arthur's DAD.
Dark Armed Dragon retrain confirmed
love how kitt is the han solo of the lore, just off completing side quests that mean so much to the main plot
I would love for this to become a full show. Why is it that card game lore is always so freaking good?
That could be 100h+ rpg man
@@Jrpg_guy I ain't got the free time for that. But it does sound epic
Here before the TCG release of Darkwing Blast, at this point Photon Hypernova has not released any new cards for this storyline, instead putting all the pre-release hype on the Visas Starfrost Story, but hopefully Hypernova has cards that push toward the end of the the Albaz story. Also would like to note, that even though Cartesia supports fusion monsters, she's still a tuner. Albaz's new form after snapping her from the Despia's control could be a Synchro monster, which in itself is a different variety of combining monsters.
The Dragon fight you are taking about is the Red Welsh Dragon vs the White Britanian Dragon. Albaz is based off Welsh Dragon while Aluber is the Christian Britanian church from what I have seen so far. Can not wait to see how the battle ends. They just reversed the "Branded In".
it's satisfying to see everytime monster's effect fits perfectly with the lore. alba los seems the last enemy standing in front of albaz's alliance, which they are focus on link monsters (tri-brigade), ritual (ritual), synchro (swordsouls), xyz (spriggans) and fusion (albaz himself). it's just like vfd aganinst the 4 dimensions
Next time on albaz lore sh!t gets more edgier and cooler as well as a corrupted female Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist gee who could seen this coming
One weird thing I've noticed. Albaz's left eye is from the very beginning until now closed. I don't know if it means anything or not, but it's small detail that might matter, who knows.
Always appreciate the Forbidden Memories/Dark Cloud 1 music in the background man.Not alot of people know about those games
Titaniklad is the counterpart of Lubellion, Albaz appeared from the hole in the form of Titaniklad, he didn't fuse after.
I think that Sprind is a fused Mercourier with the scraps from Golgonda. The face seems too similar. Also, after Sprind's first appearance, we've never saw little Mercourier again (the one Albaz and Ecclesia had at least). Maybe Albaz used his power to fuse Mercourier with the scraps.
New dragon support AND lore for my favourite yugioh story?🤯 sO SwEeEeEeEeEeT!🥰
These new beast sound perfect for my branded/albaz dragon deck I have been trying to build.
Okaaaay sooo Albaz is gonna die but the good guys are gonna win cuz of his sacrifice. It makes sense, considering how much has gone bad so fast the plot twist is gonna kick in when Kitt comes back. It's gonna be like some anime plot, where Albaz is gonna talk-no-jutsu his girl back to normal, get a temporary super boost, fight Aluber to seemingly a stalemate, get surprise attack but successfully stabs mr baddy, and the good guys win with a flank. Theeen there's gonna be a romantic thing before Albaz and Aluber dies infinity war style(Aluber throwing a tantrum on the way out) and there's gonna be a sadish epilogue
Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing more vids like this. Going over YuGiOh lore.
Ok
This was fire as always. Shouts to G-Nova!
Damn RIP sister Fleur :(
Pour one for Fleur
The 666 motif is definitely there. With the Bysted and with the number of saints. But we still don’t know who saint 666 is.
This shit is getting scary and doesn’t seem like there will be a happy ending to this story. EvilClesia looks amazing 😻
I see kit pulling up to Albaz with all the iron homies and creating a level 12 Dragon MegaZord kind of monster Tying in the name sprind.
Can’t wait for the Madness to begin.
I’m cheering for the
evil 😈 theatre 🎭 church ⛪️
🤷🏿♂️
Holy damn, dude, you blowed my mind. I always assumed that Splind was Albaz as a cool rocket glider, but I just saw him and ecclesia riding it.
If I'm not mistaken the Welsh legend of the red and white dragon was the following. Long ago a Welsh king wanted to build a new castle to guard against the English, but every night everything they build on the hill would come crumbling down. He summoned a druid to discern the cause and the druid claimed that there are 2 dragons fighting under the hill. The red dragon of Wales and the white dragon of England, the land would never be stable so long as the dragons fight. The red dragon was then added to the flag of wales
Surprised you didn't also mention that the dragons look like monsters from past yugioh archtypes. Lubellion looks like Master pendulum; Saronir looks like Unchained Abomination; Magnumut looks like a dragon form of Unchained sould of anguish/ Aruha or a beefed up harpies pet dragon; And Alba Los looks like Chimeratech Overload dragon.
I think that's more because of Konami just like to recycle arts, it's like that kind of monsters is the Konami's "art style", rather than having any lore significance
all the albaz cards in this set are so god damn shadowbringers and I love it all we need is a warrior version of albaz as a dark knight because aluber is basically Emmet Selch/hades already
Something that I noticed on Splight Sprind is that it actually has the void ribbons at the bottom, just like Springans Kitt at the end of her claw
This is just my theory, but I think Ecclesia is being possessed like how the saint that replaced her got possessed by the first saint. Why do I think this? Well mostly because Ecclesia's hair turns white just like White Relic of Dogmatika and it explains why she isn't wielding her signature weapon, the hammer. So my ultimate hail mary of a hope is that Fleur is going to purify her from beyond the grave with an heirloom or something. Spell card tribute a monster, destroy a monster on your opponents field then special summon a monster of equal or lower level from your graveyard. XD
Ecclesia lost her hammer. It's in Albaz the Ashens art
@@KesslerVTuber I know. But the hammer is her weapon of choice. She had one for 2 separate artworks. Why would she change now?
@@killingzero Because the story dictates it. We also don't see her second weapon in Branded Central Dogmatika
22:53 fingers crossed that the next "Albaz" card will be part of the "Tri-brigade" archetype...
"Tri-brigade Albaz"?
I just recently known that the ocg name of incredible ecclesia is ecclesia, the white saint. So it is just makes sense that cartesia is the corrupted(?) version of ecclesia.
The thing I'm most personally excited for with Byssted is how MBT is going to pronounce it.
On a separate note, I wonder if these cards will be impactful enough to just make Effect Veiler completely disappear from decks.
Also, is Shuraig dead?
Effect Veiler won't disappear. Monster negates are too good.
@@orga7777 That's true but unlike Ghost Ogre for example you can replace Effect Veiler for Imperm in your Handtrap lineup
@@ashikjaman1940 Many decks are maxing out on both Veiler and Imperm. Again, monster negates are just too good in the modern game.
@@ashikjaman1940 No, if you look to the right of Tri-Brigade Last Stand you can see him fainting on Rugal's shoulder. Dude is THAT exhausted.
Also sad that Iris and the Swordsouls are left for dead...
14:25 I'm just now noticing angry kitt in the background just now
This lore needs a show of its own.
I honestly can not wait for the finale of this storyline because Albaz is sure to get one heck of a final boss fusion monster and fusion spell for his final fight against Despia.
Yo yo yo, I am already playing Albaz in my Dragon Link deck as you can summon him with Spheres. Byssted is an archetype that synergizes very well with Branded, which is Albaz's archetype and Dragon link. This engine is definitely the future of the deck imo
Does it work with despia as well
Aluber be like: haha i took yo home, took yo power, and now i took yo girl
what u gonna do now LMAO
You think Kitt will learn to seal Stigmata?
The Springguns, Therions, and Sprites are battle machines, gladiators, or beings of an entirely different energy form. Argyro might stem from the Hole but looks unlike everything we've seen so far from Dogmatika or Albaz (except for Sprind but that may just be the extent of Albaz' powers allowing him to fuse with any thing).
So far the only thing we've seen seal stigmata are the Icejades.
It seems more likely that Kitt will return with more, and perhaps decisive, battle prowess (which might be foretold in Final Battle at Golgonda summoning Springguns).
this archetype with swordsoul and dogmatika together with mixed lore might be bigger tha world legacy lore
WE NeED THE COVERAGE FOR THE PHOTON HYPERNOVA STUFF. (The New kashtira cards would be nice to cover too)
I am certainly interested though a little unsure of if I want to main Final Battle in my albaz deck, typing this I may side it. The card is great, summon’s Kitt at the end to get you a branded card later, protects your cards from destruction, and can send Albion to the grave which gets you branded card. Only part I’m not sure about is that these days lots of cards don’t destroy but rather, everything else, send to grave, banish, tribute, so yeah.
Damn i gotta admit. Final battle and last stand have some bad ass Artwork
There's gonna be a part 10 from PHHY and I'm so excited!!!
That story at the end may not seem as bleak as it first looks. The white dragon may lose, but Albaz isn't the white dragon anymore; he already lost and Aluber took his white stigmata. So that story probably had bearing on what we've already seen, but maybe not on future events.
24:15
For additional context, when translated to English, the white dragon's name is Albion.
*Albaz standing alone at golgonda*
Shuraig : hey albaz.... on your left...
Wait so, if Fleurdelis (spelling?) was killed when she went to Dogmatika to try to end Maximus, how is Ecclesia mourning her loss? Did Quaeritis and Quem bring her body all the way to Swordsoul peak just to inflict despair to her allies? If so, that's even darker. I realize this pertains to the drops before this one but it is curious.
They just use portal to bring Fleur body to lure Ecclesia to come with them, And then kill Fleur anyway to make Ecclesia despair.
Hell yeah the lore shit is my favorite part of this channel.
So......does anyone anyone have any idea when the next set comes out because the anticipation on how this ends for my boy albaz and ecclesia is killing me 🤣
It releases next year
Now let's just hope they actually finish this story and not leave us on a cliffhanger
I can’t wait for Red Cartesia to be released. It’s finally the perfect light monster the deck could use for Albion
I've been playing a thunder dragon bystial deck in omega and, while it's not legal since colossus is only at 1 at most in all formats, it is seriously a lot of fun and has some insane capabilities
did you know that there is yet another story of a duel between a red and white dragon however that one birthed one of the most meme worthy herem animes of all time kidding aside now I understand why draig is known as the "Welsh dragon red dragon emperor" makes more sense now
Huh. The point you bring up about the level 6s being called the Beast-ed and there being 3 of them makes me lean into my personal theory of Lubellion being VFD/True King of All Calamities even more.
They both have near identical horn structure, both have lesser creatures under them who are each blue, red, and a more dull colour. They all seem to reference the devil with their name/lore. VFD has the ability of dimension-hopping just like Aluber with the Holes. Heck, (not including the blue one tho) the purple byssted looks like lithosagym with his animal attributes and the red one has more metallic/robot parts like Agnimazud. I'll be so gassed if he ends up being VFD but I can see how that can't happen lmao.
Omhhhh I am beyond excited for this
Can’t fucking wait!!!
Got my blunt ready
Ayo, pass me some brother!

@@ligardy you mean the cartesia pack now
Hey nova , so you know the red and white dragon are used in as a prophecy in the story of king Author, Author is the red dragon that why his last name is pendragon.
Noble Knight confirmed for Albaz lore? Lol
Author?! 😂😂😂
Can someone please point to me which tri-brigade is each in the art of "Tri-brigade Last Stand"? I see Ferrijit, but I simply cannot understand the ones on the right side. It looks like Rugal carrying Nervall, or someting like that...
Yep same maybe there is new tribrigade to come?
The lesson that Welsh story was trying to teach us is that dragons are fucking rad
Congrats on 60k!😊
The Byssted Lubellion looks like the Byssted version of Titaniklad the Ash Dragon.
Similar head shape.
I kinda thought that the Byssted dragons we’re just other dragons from the other side of the Abyss(where Albaz came form. My personal head canon being that they were Alba(proto Albaz and Aluber)’s friends, and they’re following Aluber in an attempt to get their friend back,kinda drawing a parallel to Ecclesia in that sense!
the red dragon is the dragon of Wales and the white dragon was that of the invading Saxons.
Theory, they have the chains/ binding on the dark byssted because part of ablazes memories are still in them, meaning the need Eclisia to control them otherwise
Fantastic as always my man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The Bystials remind me a lot of the Black Star Dragons from Dragonball GT
1:05 insert *CARRY ON WAYWARD SON* song
Imagine Master peace just looking down from heaven on albaz all like: Yeeaaahh. That's my boy right there!
(Even tho it isn't Cannon i can't help but think of it as a connected universe with The dracoslayer being an ancestor to albaz like the Avatars or like indra and azura in naruto)
Heck, high school dxd also has the red vs white dragon
Hope to see more dragon forms from albaz
Taking into consideration the new Dogmatika cards revealed recently, I am very afraid of what's to come
I guess Photon Hypernova will be the end of albaz narrative and Photon Hypernova has 4 slots available for fusions that haven't been presented yet...
ARE YOU STINKING KIDDING ME WITH THE CLIFFHANGER THIS TIME
we're getting choas space as a continuous spell card hell yeah
Wish fusion Lubellion was a despia card instead of a albaz card since its aluber and mirror jade is albaz and that alba renatus was stronger
Slightly unrelated to byssted, has anyone else thought that the Splights are just the Springan’s soot form once ignited? Cuz the rockets in Merrymaker haven’t been shown as Springans other than rocky and the blue one in brothers, which leaves 4 more (Jet, Pixies, Carrot and Elf, with gigantic splight being the animated form of the Therion’s Ship’s core). I didn’t mention blue or red as I’m not 100% sure on this theory and we see the blue Springans rocket in Spright smashers. Lemme know what you think and any fixes to this theory please? :)
