My god Duel Logs, this video is nuts. I mean, every one of them are, but this went over the top because of the manga illustrations, and the research behind every spot. I'm a huge fan of your content, and truly waiting for it every week. Thanks a lot!
Noir and Ex Happiness are actually the opposite ends of what Purrely could become if raised well. According to the story in Sleepy memory, Lyly is a show pet, designed to be shown off and bedazzle the audience. But in turn it's grown cold and apathetic, only caring about its own appearance and ignoring anything else (hence the unaffected status). Ex Happiness on the other hand, is the epitome of a loyal friend, having the strength to protect its owner, and defeating any foe it comes across. It also makes a lot of sense, since Purrely is a stray, that was raised with love and care.
The "Utopia" being a desperate hope makes sense since the name of the "Utopia" monsters in Japanese is Hope. Number 39 Utopia is named in japanese Kibō'ō Hope which literally means King of Wishes, Hope.
When I learned of VFD I was told it meant "Very Fun Dragon" because of how "fun" the meta became with that card... I thought it was true until not too long ago lol
I love that the lists are going into the lore a bit, even if you only care about gameplay, knowing the card's place in a story explains its design philosophy. Like how Qixing Longyuan draws a card because he killed Mo Ye. Or how Kashtira represent anger, which is why so many people get pissed when they realize they're facing them.
According to the wiki, VFD stands for Vicarius Filii Dei, or Vicar of the Son of God. Which sounds pretty badass, you are literally summoning The Beast from Revelations.
I had no clue that was the origin of the VFD acronym, when I looked it up a while ago all the results I found implied it was something different and didn’t even mention those monsters. But being a combination of the 3 original monsters makes way more sense than some crap like “Very Fucking Dragon” which, no joke, is one of the results I had found 😂
@@formerctgovernordannelmall1452 “very fun dragon” is the inside joke name it got. It’s said with sarcasm because playing against VFD doesn’t make the game very fun to play.
@@soukenmarufwt5224 Ok so where was he wrong when he said how the card was created in the maga then? The card itself changed from one to the other, while it's definitely a Galaxy card and not at all related to moth, the card itself literally changed into it
I really like how you cover not just the mechanical effects but how they interact with the flavour of the designs. That sort of interlink is one of my favorite things for games to have.
Honorable mention to Digital Bugs. If you play with them or at least read their cards, you'll notice their common themes and how it runs around card evolution and adaptation.
We need more duelogs bringing up the yugioh manga, that should have an top 10, specially with the different decks used like jaden with masked heroes and other mcs This was really good, going out the way to explain the card background, what they relate too, etc
@@justsightseeing1 true, probably because we played the game in regular basis. Other yugioh manga felt like normal fantasy story to me, but OCG structure felt like recipe book for cooking.
About the destruction effects of the three main deck true kings it is they fight the 3 archetypes related to their attribute and destroy them in the lore. (lythosagym against zoodiac, agnimahuzd against metalfoes and bahrastos against the crystrons) it is also the case that all 3 are evil counterparts to 3 true dracos (lyth to dreiath, agni to ignis heat and bahra to dinomight)
i still remember playing a deck with 2 skull dread and 2 dark matter dragon in mr4 when the guardragons came out. any 2 8s made the first dark matter to send guardragon garmides, promineses and eclipse wyvern FOR COST, which gave you full guardragon combo cycling through double skull dread, perfecting the hand, linking the entire field while making archfiend abyss and a 2nd dark matter to send arkbrave and goliath to also lock the opponents extra deck. it was crazy and all you needed were the 2 8s, even played beast king barbaros as normal summon lmao
I really enjoyed how DuelLogs went over the lore of the cards on this list, especially the Purrelly archetype. Also, I remember when Exciton Knight first came out and it warped the tournament scene around it for a while.
Dingirsu is made up from Orcust Babel and all the remaining Orcust monsters lol. Totally different from all since its a composite of too many different monsters and its main 'monster' isnt a monster but a Field Spell.
Interesting concept of checking lore reason of the evolution, and how it change their effects. And for the request of the week, how about "Top 10 fairy type monsters" 🇲🇽😎👍🇲🇽
It just dawned on me that the three monsters you send to the GY with Dark Matter Dragon are actually referenced in the artwork with those three wailing souls. Top 10 Link-1 Monsters Top 10 Cards That Can Set/Activate Spells or Traps Directly From The Deck Top 10 Worst Continuous Spell Cards Top 10 Worst Warrior Effect Monsters Top 10 Synchro Tuners Top 10 Pendulum Extra Deck Monsters
Exciton Knight's effect isn't even all that removed from Sentinel and Roach when you think about it as Sentinel and Roach are only able to stop big monsters but Knight has evolved enough to defeat them instead, turning a stop gap to dealing with them into the ability to just do it himself. I like that story and evolution.
Titanic Moth and Hope Harbinger do have one other similarity: Their overall body plan. A humanoid torso with a bug-like abdomen alongside two feather-like protrusions where the legs would be. Wings sprouting from their shoulders with humanoid arms. Harbinger even has some antenna on its head.
I need the Purelly cards. They are too adorable for me not to have. And as a casual Pokémon fan too, it makes sense that Purelly itself is the Eevee of Yugioh.
20:00 There is also a interesting connection between them and Dragon Rulers, their effects and play style are similar, the Dragon Rulers where also "calamity"s that symbolized natural structures/formations like Volcanos, Waterfalls, Tornados and Earthquakes
I had one. The most shocking cards to get archetypes. Because there is no one on earth that ever-thought Skull Servant would get one, much less become a game-winning beat stick.
28:17 You'd have to use the Level 8 Amorphage Goliath, not Sloth, since Sloth is Level 6 and Arkbrave only revives Level 7 and 8 Dragons. It's funny that all the Amorphage monsters have the same effect (except that the effect of the Level 2 and 4 ones is only active, if they have been Pendulum summoned or flipped face-up).
Oh, that's what VFD stands for. Never knew that. I knew that it meant something, and that what it meant wasn't actually "Very Fun Dragon", but I didn't think it had anything to do with any other cards. That's interesting since it's pretty unique in that way, not many cards have acronyms/shortened names based on other cards, and even less them in a similar way to how VFD got it's.
I love your explanation of the lore and theming behind the effects of each of the cards! Hope you start incorporating that into more videos since it's really interesting how they relate to the card effects.
One thing to notice is the wording in sargas, as it has the therion template and is a reference to his struggle on the therion ring, gigantic from his fight with spright, champion for his success on the therion ring and lastly his name, as well that in the artwork he has the belt that was originally from regulus, now passed to him as he is the champion
Hey, I have an idea for an "Unknown side of Yugioh" video! You already mentioned in Pharaoh and Kaiba's duel against Darts both Pharoah and Darts pulled out cards that prevented them from losing when they ran out of lifepoints. But there's more times where cards like this were made for the anime and manga series! For example, Kalin Kessler from 5Ds, in both the anime and the manga, had cards that prevented him from losing when he ran out of lifepoints, both tied to his Infernity deck. There was also a time in the GX manga where Aster Phoenix dueled Jaden and used a card that gave him an extra 100 lifepoints when Jaden hit him for lethal damage. I just think it's interesting that the anime and manga series is willing to reuse this effect when I'm not sure if an effect like this even exists in the real game.
5:28. In the zexal manga, i thought the explained better the numbers power then the anime. In the manga, they reflected the heart of the user, and they are evil, because his host are evil. That´s explain why shark was possed. he was consumed by his anger.

ATK/2450 DEF/1700
@@dudono1744 THERE made it either or. You have a point, but there ARE niche uses for equipping monsters in itself, and it keeps with Sword Hunters identity.
What's something I find interesting about Titanic moth and Titanic Galaxy is that they both have a similar Silhouette. If you look towards the bottom of Galaxy, you can see a thorax, and the arms Galaxy has is similar in design to Moth's. I also see it as a Moth that gained draconic power, gaining a hybrid body. A Moth with somewhat dragon like features (sharper body parts, head is more dragon like)
25:46 Mentions that you have to attack with Galaxy-Eyes to use it's effect, but the effect can be triggered when it is targeted for battle during the opponents turn.
I am fully appalled that Cyber Dragon Nova/infinity is not on this list! It's an omninegate, can obsorb an opponent's Atk position monster, and pairs well with light decks like Galaxy Photon with the new galaxy Photon dragon for even more damage
whatt about supreme kings ? like supreme king odd eyes and supreme king rebilion and etc of supreme kings . they have an unbelievable evolution pls do part 2 and add them and thank you
The Titanic Moth -> Titanic Hope thing reminded me of those archetype cards that seem to have some kind of crossover with other archetypes. Like the World Legacy ones have like a billion crossovers with other archetypes in their shared setting (Orcus, Krawler, Mekk-Knight). There is also Tearlaments Kashtira, and the other Tearlaments cards that mentions Visas... and the Scareclaw cards that mentions Visas. I vaguely remember seeing other ones like this around. Have you ever done a video on all these 'crossover cards' or even just the archetype lore crossovers in general?
When did they do this Purrley is definitely Eevee Give me a real Tamogatchi archetype (Cyberse, machine, something like that) Extra points if it turns into a beast and has the effect "This card is also treated as 'Cyberse'"
@@randomcatname7792 Tamagotchi have a bunch of things they change into depending on how you treat them, for most Eevee evolutions it's just giving them a stone or evolving them at certain times of day
Just to note no 95 wasn’t really much in dragon ruler as it came out when the babies were banned and the dragon rulers themselves were limited. I don’t doubt that there might have been druler decks with it but definitely wasn’t in dragon ruler format unless it happened post Duelist Alliance with full power qliphort and secrets of eternity. As it came out initially in japan after secrets of eternity
Have you ever considered making a list of top 10 cards introduced in the manga? I didn't know Number 38 was from the manga, and now I'm curious to see what other competitive staples were introduced via manga

There is also Tearlaments Kashtira, and the other Tearlaments cards that mentions Visas... and the Scareclaw cards that mentions Visas. I vaguely remember seeing other ones like this around. Have you ever done a video on all these 'crossover cards' or even just the archetype lore crossovers in general?
Almost shocked it took so long for them to make a Tamagotchi archetype
When did they do this
Purrley is definitely Eevee
Give me a real Tamogatchi archetype (Cyberse, machine, something like that)
Extra points if it turns into a beast and has the effect "This card is also treated as 'Cyberse'"
@@randomcatname7792 Tamagotchi have a bunch of things they change into depending on how you treat them, for most Eevee evolutions it's just giving them a stone or evolving them at certain times of day
Har-Binge-Er. Just a polite FYI, love the videos man.
Just to note no 95 wasn’t really much in dragon ruler as it came out when the babies were banned and the dragon rulers themselves were limited. I don’t doubt that there might have been druler decks with it but definitely wasn’t in dragon ruler format unless it happened post Duelist Alliance with full power qliphort and secrets of eternity. As it came out initially in japan after secrets of eternity
I love this channel, man, it feels like im listening to a college class on Yu Gi Oh lol
8:20 When we get "Top 10 The Most Compatible Purrely for Human Breeding" ?
The pronunciation of harbinger in #9 is killing me
I’ll always have a soft spot for utopias since it’s the first deck that I played after coming back to ygo from a 20 yr break…fuck I’m old
Titanic Moth can be used in a gimmick combo against Maxx "C", right?
Idk when Loggy will finally realize how to pronounce the word "Harbinger"
My man managed to say harbinger 4 different ways in like 2 minutes, neither of which were correct 💀
Love your videos, dude 😂🤝
How is Cyber Dragon Infinity not on this list?
The counterfeit proofing on Lavalval Chain is great, cause if you look closely, it's not a Sea Serpent
Have you ever considered making a list of top 10 cards introduced in the manga? I didn't know Number 38 was from the manga, and now I'm curious to see what other competitive staples were introduced via manga
I had absolutely no idea abyss dweller was a dragon. I always looked at it and saw like some ghostly apparition. It only hit me when I watched this video that I was looking at it wrong this whole time! The part I thought was the face wasn't! I'm an idiot.
"Harbinger" is pronounced har-been-jer. I love your videos. Single-handedly getting me back into YGO
