I feel you've thought about this more than Konami.
I mean.. That's a very low bar to clear.
I don't think that falls under their jurisdiction since this focuses on the show and they only focus on releasing the cards
I use vendread deck on duel links and i think its good
Konami sucks & never had the Yugioh Series best interests in mind & Yugioh isn't the only series they treat badly remember Metal Gear? Refusing to give us Vrains while requiring us to follow its rules was the last straw for me.
Konami just think "this is an advertising show, why are people thinking this hard?" Lol
I went into this video expecting a rant about why ritual summoning is an outdated and slow mechanic, left with a PHD in Yu-Gi-Oh lore.
lol
Same, lol
Makes me wanna watch the show lmao
Lmao I can’t help but laugh because it’s so true.
Seven words: Preparation of Rites, and Advanced Ritual Art.
Those cards make ritual summoning a whole lot easier, and they're pretty inexpensive all things considered.
I don’t care how viable rituals are, eating a monster with Relinquished is always cool.
AMINA
@@Fallen-Saint harder to do it with amina than with regular relinquished or restrict but point made
Try the fusion versions then :p
OBLITERATING defense monsters with B. Eyes MAX Chaos Dragon is also cool af
give the Relinquished archetype more support!!! it's so neat but it just lacks fire power. They need a beater that DOESN'T rely on your opponent's field.
I like it how everything in the YuGiOh series can be summed up to "Screw the Rules, I am Seto F***ing Kaiba"
Seto Kaiba is both the utmost blessing and the greatest curse of the Yugioh series

Well, he CAN!
Dude literally ripped open a space bridge to the Egyptian afterlife just so he could have a grudge match with a dead man.
Is there anything his ego can't do if pushed far enough? Besides beating a protagonist fairly that is
God damnit kaiba!!
I love how you go into the lore of the world instead of focusing on game mechanics.
@ULGROTHA
Well some other channels would talk about stuff like Ritual summoing isn't useful in most decks because it's too slow or clunky the method is.
It's far more interesting to me to hear the possible in universe reasons of why it isn't used anymore.
Screw the rules... I have Chaos!!!!
@@PsyQoBoy
You pretty much summarized Zexal with that joke.
The game mechanics are a joke currently so its no surprise he doesnt want to talk about that lol
@@ShadowEclipex Late but both sides of the 4th Wall (as it goes) DOES give some reason to WHY so few Ritual users exist as is despite Drytrons and Megaliths' debut (in recent stuff) as well as some upcoming sets due to also promoting Rush Duels.
Rituals don't exist in the new format because of Yuga's insistance at a particular pace, rapid fire, although opens some room for him (or those he deems worthy... or for that matter Otes deems worthy) to keep the pace up, and since Yuga's tired of Master Duels, it does mean Ritual Monsters at base may need to be retrained/reimagined, however Master Duels still exist in Go Rush (so he's half-right about the whole rigid and control thing, but there should be rooms for other formats)
'Why is no one using Ritual Summoning'
GODS! ENERGY!
CHAOOOS!!!

I call upon the powers of chaos to summon my great and terrible monster,... behold my sacrificial offerings oh great deities of darkness and grace my presence with my servant the Lord of Shadows Zera the Mant!
I offer up my wing of bat and tongue of frog, eye of newt and tail from dog,.... hmm,... needs something,.... ah! Fish scales! Never can do without the fish scales!

Hmm,... nothing's happening,... doh!

I'm trying to ritual summon an 8 star monster with only 5 one star ingredients!

Now! Come forth my great and terrible servant,... and vanquish my enemies!

Oh dear,... that was rather disappointing!
METAL AS FUCK
@@FunBunChuck Now this, this is the best comment
Ritual Summon is one of the more "unique" summoning methods which makes them more interesting as you need to build a Deck around them and not just use them as an engine or toolbox
"You need to build a deck around them and not just make a deck around them"
Wat
Nekroz was a good toolbox lol they were hand traps that hated heavily on the extra deck. Gishki hand loops were fun before the restriction lol
@@MrVariant I'm really not sure a stale format like this one would be improved with hand-looping being one of the top meta contenders. Remember how fast everyone wanted gumblar gone? Yeah.
@@scoutbane1651 gimme an equalizer if they got red-eyes dark dragoon next month lol I hated when they rewrote on pendulums. Performapal Skullcrobat Joker should be restricted; monkeyboard was the real culprit anyway to make that a pot of greed basically, let alone you'll use up the normal summon.
Not to mention if you had a hard time tribute summoning a monster, ritual summoning is your best bet.
I feel like rituel monsters were flawed prototypes of Synchro monsters.
And according to another theory XYZ are just a better (safer) way of getting energy than synchros
No, the flawed prototypes of synchro monsters are called Neo-Spacians
@@Alb410 Contact Fusion feels more like a prototype Link Summon. Just have the specific materials on the field and summon away. No Spell, Tuner, or Spell card required.
@@Alb410 Neo-Spacians are the flawed prototypes of Contact Fusion used in other better decks like Glad-Beasts
Dont u dare said flawed prototypes of synchro!!
Ritual seems flawed because komoney wont milk the ritual...heck even they wont think the balance or advancement of it. Because its fucking scary for younger audience. What?? Ritual? Are they teaching a pact or selling a soul to the devil. Is that occultism in children show?? Komoney wont do that. Its safer to give kids a rainbow gate of summoning...a milky way full of cosmic star summoning...a futuristic tech summoning.
We all know its really because nekroz started a war so large nobody ever wanted to speak of rituals again
i was thinking on that
Kite used ritual summoning. He was the Ritual Summoning prodigy of Zexal. He ritual summoned an insane 1 time. That's more than most people who can't count can count to.

@ULGROTHA ah I see thank you. Also I have seen the theory video it's probably one of my favourites since it actually tries to connect all the pieces of the timeline which is super cool. Maybe one day we'll get a canonical answer to stuff like that which is actually close to what was predicted
"That's more than most people who can't count can count to."
It is pretty funny to imagine. Kaiba making the nessesary technology and drafting first concepts and then pegasus just comes along and says "aight, let's do that. I have nothing better to do anyways"
Plus it's basically just Kaiba rejecting mysticism again in a hilariously overblown way. "I don't have time for your archaic mystic rituals, I've already replaced them with math."
when you think about it, it could add another difference between Kaiba and Yugi, Kaiba uses Machinery in a Very Orderly fashion. meanwhile Yugi relies on Magic, which is literally powered by chaos
I think if ritual monsters were in the extra deck instead of the main deck and we just need the spells cards in the main deck to summon them everyone would use rituals a lot more. And perhaps ritual becomes the best summons in the game xD
not a bad concept but konami would need to expand the capacity from 15 extra deck monsters to at least 20
It's to late
Still wouldn't be better than Xyz summoning and Link summoning as much as I'm not a fan of Links. Basically in irl Yu-Gi-Oh, the more generic and less work needed for the summon, the better
Idea sucks, would fuck every ritual deck to unusable
@@oskarasplund7960 You literaly would need one Card less for every Ritual summoning. Sure the Hundred Hands Maju and some other searcher would bei dead, but Overall OT would bei easyer and better.
"Why nobody uses Ritual Summoning"
*Impcantations have entered the chat*
Watch the video
Draitons have entered the chat
The actual reason: Its the Red-Headed Step Child of Fusion and Tribute Summoning.
I'm sure there are cards now that have a work around. But, the key part of Ritual Summoning was, "Must have Monster in Hand, Must have the Ritual Spell to play, need to Tribute/Offer-up cards from your Hand and Field."
Card in Hand - Core mechanic of "most" Tribute Summoning
Ritual Card - Essentially a Named Polymerization Card that is restrictive in what it creates.
With these two qualities in hand... you have a really shit method of playing :/
Herald of Perfection has entered the chat
fuck "Impa" but yay/ya to "Draitons"
The next series after 7s should focus on Rituals. Imagine the characters tapping into the ritual magic and finding out about the apparent multiverse Yu-Gi-Oh! has? Rituals being the new mechanic would do wonders for a long forgotten play style. I use a ritual deck in Duel Links but I thinks I could use one in real life or even Link Evolution. But yes, rituals should come back. If Konami can make support for Gia and Buster Blader, they can make one for rituals.
it never will though they'll just keep focusing on new bs summoning types
I agree, even if it's not gonna be the "Big" summoning way of the new series, it should return in a strong manner.
And I for one would love to see a character in the new series use a Summoned Skull deck that has all of the different Summoned Skull's in it. Synchro: Archfiend's Call Xyz: Archfiend Ascent Fusion: Archfiend's Manifestation Ritual: Archfiend's Awakening
Nekroz: hey
But no srsly play nekroz if you want to play competitive rituals. But srsly its a archetype around rituals which can be used competitivly
Nitrocat Meower I think rituals should be the new Neo Space types. Like, give a ritual monster a Contact Fusion type card and ritual summon from the deck, instead of milking for the right monsters
Sounds cool to me, unlikely as it is, though personally if they do I hope at some point they focus on the original shadow games and magical duels at some point. I always thought that they were the coolest part of the story and was disappointed how little we got to see of them.
Using Ba to summon monsters: Hand crank power
Performing a Ritual summon: steam powered
fusions: coal-powered
synchros: gas-powered
xyz: electric motor
Pendulum: solar power before solar panels got over-regulated for being too awesome
Link: low battery warning
Wouldn't it be cool though? Links being the current new energy source because the planet is running dry.
And then ritual would need to be forcefully used to prevent destruction from happening.
You really don't know how power is generated do you? Coal is used to power steam generators. By gas I assume you mean an internal combustion engine which acts nothing like Synchro and isn't an upgrade over steam, etc.
@@ghosty918 Chill out, Brenda. It's a RUclips comment, not a peer reviewed scientific journal. Have fun cringposting your google search replies like you're owning anyone.
Fusion is gas power while Synchro is nuclear power
From now on everyone has to call oil DINOSAUR BLOOD
you could even call it dino DNA
Well yes, but actually no
Gaia's blood?
Dinosaur waste

i still remembered when i first summoned Thousand eyes restrict, it feels like an achievement, only to be immediately Skull Laired
Yay I was waiting for this for a while, your channel has really amazing content and you have a special character
Thank you so much! I'm gonna try to get content out a bit faster going forward, so hopefully you won't be waiting as long for the next one!
Blue Eyes Chaos Maxx Dragon- am I joke to you.
Buster Blader- Yes
Relinquished - relax big boi this one's mine!.
@@kelvinsantiago7061 ikr
I wonder if Kaiba just wakes up and thinks "Yeah, let's make a another blue eyes."
Also, you got me into watching Arc-V thanks to your last video, and it's great so far!
We are speaking about the man who wanted to resurrect the Pharaoh because he wanted to duel. Do you really think he will not create a completely new summoning method just for his precious Blue Eyes?
He probably thought that when thinking about Chaos MAX and Deep eyes.
@Galaspark I doubt that he owns the whole game.... but probably enough stock of Industrial Illusions that he was allowed to do this.
Its a win win solution. He's made a " private " Solid vision system machine for Pegasus so he can have fun with his dead wife by Resurecting him via Kaiba tech in order to have an authority to create a new card.
( note : this is just my head canon, not an actual canon )
Okay let me clear this up
In DSOD aka the MANGA
PEGASUS IS DEAD
Lil noob: Sir you mean DEAD....
DEAD
Yes morons DEAD
So seto kaiba took over the duel monster market
Now why is pegasus soo special
HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CREATE
"S"(DIVINE) CLASS CREATURES
ASIDE OF THE PHARAOH/YUGI AND
GUESS WHO
lil noob;Sir von rich .... ehh 🍦
Dartz?
NO U FOOL
Its the master of OBELISK
Himself
SETO KAIBA
Seto kaiba in both adaptation
Whether in the anime or the manga
He refuse to believe and to recognize his magic power
Until in DSOD
He was forced to use it
He relies on his pride and his technology
But when he faced Aigami
He was forced to "divine draw"
Obelisk
Seto kaiba isn't just anybody
He is the reincarnation of the great priests seto
Just like pegasus is the reincarnation of
Agnadine's brother
Which is ancient Egypt seto's father
Now for the anime
Pegasus is still alive till
5ds around
When yusei was a baby
Domino city was halfly destroyed pegasus was killed or disappeared
It is not official but
Its proved that a monument is on his homage
I feel like I need to go back to school to learn the history, lore and gameplay of Duel Monsters up to this day. Duel Academy.... Here I come!
When I clicked on this vid I thought he was just going to talk about Ritual Summoning in the card game , I had no clue there was lore behind it .
I think Rituals would be better if they were moved to the extra deck and given more support
I think you’re forgetting that nekroz is one of the best decks of all time. Although they’ve been power crept from the meta, negating all extra deck effects with unicore can shut down a majority of decks, trishula can be an absolute threat. They have incredible consistency with brionac and clausolus, also the jin lock was just stupid too. Saying rituals are under represented may be true, but with nekroz making an almost tier 0 format makes rituals have an amazing history in this game just with a single archetype!
Yes, but then Ritual decks being excellent is still something rare, and even if some ritual decks were excellent no one played them as stapple or engine in their other decks (unlike Fusion, Synchro, XYZ and so on).
Dinosaur_Ryusaki very true and I ageee rituals are under represented, but they have had a few great moments in the long life span of this game.
He was talking about just in terms on the anime... where Nekroz were never seen and Great Moth was the Ace of a Regional champion. He isn't forgetting about it, it just doesn't factor in.
This is anime video
VI James he's talking about the anime idiot
That mention of What The Numeron Code is just gave me a realization
It appeared in 5Ds, during the Ylliaster arc, the Sages regularly refer to The Will of the Gods and there's a mysterious giant card shaped stone monolith that produces blank cards that can change their appearance that seems to be the will they refer to
Back in the old days of yugioh, I think ritual summoning is a bit easier than fusion summoning. Because fusion monsters, especially generic ones with no effects and a terrible ATK/DEF, requires a list of specific fusion material and a spell card call polymerization.
With ritual summoning you'll only need a ritual monster and a ritual spell card that is specific to that monster.
If ritual cards are extra deck and have generic spell cards, then it would make them better, but isn't that just a more Generic Fusion?
To be fair you still need the ritual monster amd the spell AND the monsters you need to sacrifice. That's a lot more than poly and like 2 monsters.
If Rituals were in the Extra Deck, then cards like "Advanced Ritual Art", and "Contract with the Abyss" would see a lot of play. With 3x Manju of the Tenthousand Hands & 3x Sonic Birds you'd be able to bring a Ritual Spell to your hand almost every turn, and would be likely to be able to Ritual Summon on your first turn pretty often.
@@FizzyMcSoda If that should happen, then konami will give a little bit of restriction. Like ritual summoning once per turn, summoning them into the extra deck zone first or ritual material(s) must be present on the field to activate the ritual spell card.
But it is just my personal opinion and theory.
@@FizzyMcSoda well I remember a time when I was in the game where Paliden of White Dragon made those cards you named Manju of ten thousands hands and sonic bird really useful for running a blue eyes deck.
I like how you correlate Ritual as precursor to Synchro. Both are my favorites, I have to say the similarity is what drove me to both types of summoning, and your explaining does make some sense.

I have to admit I almost didn't click on this video because I thought it would just be a meta analysis of the physical tcg. But man am I glad I did because I love lore theories! You should consider putting a lore tag in the title like to make it more obvious. A video this good deserves more attention!
Man this channel is underrated im going to subscribe for sure thanks for bringing love to my favorite series.
I’ve always had a soft spot for ritual monsters as they always fit the mystical aspects of Yugioh to me.
I just love Relinquished so much! He's the OG absorbing monster.
HisShadow and unlike meklords its not tied to one monster type ...... Relinquished can absorb any monster regardless of what they are
Takahashi is like
"Yeah I thought of that"
Dunno about that, but even if he is, he's still better about it than certain British Boomer fantasy authors I could name...
Ritual Monsters should be moved to the extra deck, and someone had to say it.
These days.... yes an they'll still be considered slow
Otherwise make them way more powerful like new tribute monsters
Or they should be able tor tribute from extra deck
Still hoping for that from Rush Duels in the least.
Ritual spells should be able to summon any ritual monster like polymerization for fusion
Ritual Spells SHOULD be able to Ritual Summon by using materials in the GY or by shuffling them back into the Deck. I know it doesn't make sense but if Fusions can do that, why can't Rituals?
It was cool in the first incarnation of the game because you can summon an amazing monster in one turn if you have the proper cards in your hand. Nowadays the game is too fast paced and it's not worth bothering with because there is usually a more powerful card with a better effect that could be summoned with less hassle. Back in the day it was a bit more convenient circumstantially than Fusion since you could tribute anything, which was cool. You DID however need the specific magic/spell AND monster card in your hand per ritual summon you wanted to do. Meanwhile polymerization works with any Fusion and summons the fused monster immediately from the Fusion deck, so running multiple Ritual monsters was a huge headache while Fusion actually rewarded you more the more you built the deck around getting out Fusion monsters.
Me: People don't ritual summon
*Laughs in Megaliths*
And Vendread!
for real tho megaliths are fun
JAJAJA true!
I'm workimg on a megalith deck with a cyber angel engine.
So glad uncle phul is a common in the next set
um excuse me weavile was a Regional champ not world champ
He was a national champion in the original japanese, it was regional only in the dub.
Weavile is a pokémon, didn't you mean Weevil?
Sorry I do play a lot of Pokémon
@@NeoNightmares Aren't both basically the same anyway
National Champion & Regional Champion are roughly the same thing, merely champion in the Nation/State you live in. The important thing is that he wasn't "World Champion" & let's face it he supposedly only got as far as he did through cheating. "Say Goodbye to Exodia" & his deck parasite trick during Battle City probably aren't his only cheats.
Honestly some of the best yugioh content I've seen in forever. Keep up these videos, your perspective is exciting.
I got nothing to add, but let me drop a comment for the algorithm. Good luck growing your channel! You seem like you're a good creator
This just made my whole day. Thank you!
I want that GX soundtrack at the beginning so bad! Also youv got some kick ass editing
I'm excited to see more Yu-Gi-Oh! deep dives like this! I'm hooked!
Love Ritual summon plus the idea of seeing a world where Egypt remind in power and made it to the modern (yugioh) era sound interesting.
This was far deeper lore than I was expecting for a 3yr old video. Every time I think I knew Yugioh, there is more to learn.
Good video, you should make a video about all summon styles, because when you talk about "energy" and various related topics, it makes the video more interesting and curious.
Only if you knew that several months after this video ritual monsters would dominate the Yu-gi-oh meta
Facts!
So true
Someone had to make a video to bring out the Ritual users... The master plan was initiated on that day, and the world today is better for it.
What I think of ritual summoning is:
I don't care, but I have a friend who only uses a Blue Eyes Chaos Max Dragon deck and I'm so bored unless I have epidemic virus on the field and a monster with 2500or more ATK to kill almost his entire hand
theres and xyz monster named dingirsu that forces chaos max to be sent to the graveyard. just-food
for thought
I think that ritual summoning would see a whole lot more play if the ritual mosters were part of the extra deck instead of being in the main deck
I usually find this the opinion of one that does not know ritual monsters very well. There are many of them that would be absurdly broken in the extra deck.
I've come across this sentiment a lot, and I understand it, but unfortunately it's pretty much impossible for them to do that given how Ritual support is made. Since the mechanic is based entirely around needing to have the ritual monster and ritual spell in hand, the support for the mechanic focuses on searching both from the deck, and a vast majority of Ritual support would be rendered inoperable if the monsters moved to the ED. To be honest, and I think Konami have started to recognize this as well, one of the better directions you can take ritual summoning is to make Ritual spells which can Ritual summon from the deck itself, downplaying the necessity of having 2.5 specific cards in hand to perform the summon.
For better or worse the mechanic has to stay in the main deck, outside of a complete overhaul of all existing ritual support cards, which despite the summoning type being undersupported, is still a titanic effort.
I legit just got done watching ur synchro vid checked ur channel and saw this
It should also be noted that power creep was a thing and because of certain issues (like cards not magically appearing), certain cards in the anime could be considered way more powerful than possible in a game where things can't fully fuse.
The thing is that not only you need the ritual spell, but you ALSO need a monster with the same level AND the monster itself. Sometimes it's not worth it.
Ritual summoning costs you 2 cards (Tribute monster and spell) and the many Ritual monsters are bad, not mentioned they are unsearchable
Notable good Ritual deck is Nekroz and the new one that I rarely see that is Megalith that can ritual summon by discarding itself and tribute it to summon another Megalith
Also that Herald needs to mentioned because it can negate so much time
Well I know for at least a time I know there was at least 1 ritual card that became usefull for a while using white dragon ritual, paladin of white dragon, and I think manju of thousands hands, sonic bird, and I think there may have been 1 other usefull monster card for searching but I have been out of the game for about 14 years at this point so I can't be sure.😆.
THAT CLIFFHANGER THO!
I am officially a subscriber. Great job on this video. 11/10 👏
I have always loved ritual monsters, from the very beginning. Even though they’re not competitive, and usually take a minimum of a minus-3 in card advantage to summon, they’re just......BLUE. They are the best looking cards in the game (in my opinion of course). They do the color blue justice.
Oh, and Link monsters? Get your own color, you ugly red-arrowed _pointy boys_
Came here for a mechanic of ygo, end up learning the mechanic of thermodynamic. I love this channel.
and now a ritual archetype is top tier
But in some episode they use ritual, in zexal, in arc-V and in the first series

There wouldn't be a ritual dimension. Rituals are in the standard dimension as well as in the fusion dimension, therefore we can assume ritual summoning is considered "standard" at least in the sense that since it resides in the main deck, it is no different than the other monsters that reside with them. Plus, each dimension formed themselves around each of the four parts of Zarc, who used the four main types of summoning (standard, fusion, synchro, and xyz) and never used a ritual monster.
(keep in mind, I actually love ritual monsters)
Never looked at yugioh this deep very interesting well done video .
Bro your narrative is one of the most enjoyable I've had the pleasure to watch and listened to. Thank tou for sharing your work 😊
Rituals are my favorite. I hate that they get NO play.
UNBAN GISHKI!
Whit a the current stuff, ublimited Gustkraken would be an FTK nightmare lol
All those 40 minute hand loops are definitely needed in Yu-Gi-Oh
Gishki would just need a few better/updated cards. Their consistency is already very good and it went through the roof with the addition of Impcantations. The recycling abilty of Gishki cheats the game mechanics of rituals and you make pluses so you often end up with more than you invested.
This is the reason why I play Zielgigas OTK instead of Chaos Max OTK. The cards are cheaper, the deck is MUCH more consistent and has almost no bricks, it can recycle its resources better and shuffling cards from the field back into the deck without targeting is one of the best removal effects, even to this day. My friend is always pissed, when I shuffle his Chaos Max back into his deck lol
I play them still
Yes kindred spirit! Unban gishki and make new support for rituals
You've earned my subscription with that opening poem.

Day 91 of waiting for vendread support.
As a Vendread user the only support i'd like is to make Battlelord a QE, or the ritual fodder to not be a hard OPT.
Luci Cred How about a ritual spell searcher, cos they need it?
@@cringebutyee1326 Pre-preparation of rites searches origin and Slayer, and saviour recovorers it from the grave
I always wondered why the Ritual monsters were not stored with the fusions or by latter revisions, moved there once Sinchro turned it into the generic "Extra deck"... Having to pull the Ritual spell while only needing the tributes would've simplified the whole affair greatly.
I feel like if you could summon ritual monsters from the extra deck, the archetype/playing style would probably be more popular
When your only way to special summon was either ritual, or fusion, ritual summoning makes sense. Both methods require a spell card to work, but ritual summoning basically only requires one other specific card, while fusion required at least two. Now, with a great deal of effect monsters that can be special summoned, and extra deck cards that can be special summoned with non-specific components... Ritual monsters just aren't a very good proposition.
At least, that's the context for why ritual monsters fell out of favor in the TCG.
Oh yes:
The xyz dimension
The synchro dimension
The fusion dimension
And finally, who could forget? The -ritual- normal dimension...
Sorry ritual, even Konami gave up on you ;(
Damn censored and media bullshit
"Konami gave up on you"
Cyber Angel Benten: "THEN WHY THEY LIMITED ME?"
@makoto3212Gishki 4 Life!.
It's interesting to note that, in the Manga, the only people to ever use Ritual Monsters were people who possessed Millenium Items - Yami Yugi and Pegasus. Bandit Keith never summoned "Zera The Mant" and Noah never existed, so he could never summon "Shinato".
Okay, that's not entirely true. Umbra and Lumis summoned "The Masked Beast", another Ritual Monster. However, I believe it's entirely plausible, that Marik simply channeled his own Chaos Energy (or that stored in the Millenium Rod) to Umbra and Lumis, granting them the Choas Energy needed to perform a Ritual Summon. Especially when you consider that the Millenium Rod is the only Millenium Item we know of, which is confirmed to have the power to manipulate other people's minds.
If this is the case, it would also lend some credence to my head-canon that Chaos Energy is required in order to summon Exodia. Think of it. Yami Yugi is the first person to ever summon Exodia, and he has the Millenium Puzzle. And then, all of a sudden, not even months later, one of Marik's Rare Hunters successfully summons Exodia as well? Seems a little too coincidental for a card that's supposedly impossible to summon, doesn't it?
certenly interesting, when i was junger i allways loved the ritual cards, they used to be the big deal of the show, later on rewatching these shows it allways saddend me a bit that they got allmost completely droped
Thankfully cards like Relinquished, Blue-Eyes, and other smaller, but more effective Level 4 Rituals were what kept the Ritual cards alive.
And thanks to the Evolution and Experimentation with Djinns and Ritual Spell effects. We got some of the Best Ritual Decks now.
Giski-fish, Nekroz, Monoliths, Herald of Perfection, Cyber Angels, Zombie Vendread, and BLS got extremely good support. Not to mention we got the Best Ritual cards In the form of the Implantations.
So its not all bad 😂
I like this idea that divided manga Kaiba and Anime Kaiba is that closure by watching Yugi beat Atem, he was able to develop a new method of summoning, one that forced evolution and propelled forward. But Manga Kaiba, bound to the past and still bent on being willing to sacrifice anyone to get what he wants, he was bound to the ancient ways, stuck in the past, and embraced the Chaos form Ritual to enhance his dragon.
You put more effort into that opening than Konami does with their goddamm card game.
"Nobody ritual summons"
(SEVERAL MONTHS LATER)
Drytron: Bonjour
Um actually, mahad used Illusion Magician. He became the dark magician once he fused himself with the illusion magician
I also believe that Kaiba was the one that made Synchro summoning... both because of Kaiba corps involvement in the creation of Duel Runners, and the fact that some of the earliest Synchro cards were Blue-eyes support or at least Blue-eyes themed.
Hmm, well, it seems like you are going somewhere with the next one. Though I would like to say right here that I highly doubt that there is an actual Ritual Dimension, as it seems like Ray split the dimensions in a way to keep Zarc's dragons separated (The first real sign of Zarc re-awakening in his reincarnations were when the dragons met up), with each Dragon getting held in it's own dimension. Since Zarc never used a Ritual dragon, no Ritual Dragon was needed to contain it.
That having been said, I am still curious to see what you have to say on how it may be connected to VRAINS.
This video: *exists*
Draitrons already with an ftk strategy: Hello boys, why dont you buy me a booster box and deal me in?
I really love this ish. It's such a captivating look into lore basic solely in the dm shadow games and synchro summon energy use (mainly this). This is my canon cause it makes so much sense with the series logic
I feel like the ritual dimension would just be the Nekroz dimension, it's so odd that there are so few ritual cards yet they have one of the most dominant decks of all time. I wish Konami would make some more
I gotta admit I do realize now with Obelisk, only 2 characters have used him, Yugi and Kaiba, and they are the only ones to have sort of Chaos ritual support cards, yugi has used magician of black chaos and bls, and later on in the Dimension movie, Kaiba has Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon.
I felt that I always asked myself this
As someone who likes Ritual monsters, I did try to use them a lot before Nekros was a thing. Also, I loved Nekros.
But they were very difficult to pull off and the most consistent in the old ages where the End of the World monsters, Demise and Queen of Ruin. And I think it was mostly Demise plus Normal support that pulled it off.
They should make a series of ritual summoning like the other shows. Cuz in yugioh the first show no one really did use them.
This video is hecking awesome. :)
You deserve way more subs.
I really wished there was a Ritual Dimension that debut in Arc-V and if it had to be set in the time of the ancient egyptians and kings of the ancient years it would've been interesting to see that Ritual Yuya was a prince of that dimension with a ritual monster looking like a miniature version of Zarc
For his Deck I would've gave him the Gishki archetype while the Ritual Yuzu uses the Nekroz
Thematically fitting since the nekroz are remnants of the gishki
@@DarkSymphony777 Hell it showed in ZeXaL that duelists of the ancient past can duel with modern Yugioh rules thanks to Nasch and Vector
When I first played Yu-gi-oh! I fell in love with ritual monsters especially Relinquished then I saw the show.
I just love how thematic ritual, tribute and fusion summon are.
Tribute Summon: A Monster which is so powerful that it requires a sacrifice from you to do your biding.
Ritual Summon: There monsters which can only be brought forth by a magical ritual and the proper offerings.
Fusion Summon: Two Monsters combine their Powers become a new Monster which still has features of the fused Monsters.
Its just such a shame that every viable Special summoning Method lacks that thematic fantasy.
Synchro: Hedgehog + Sword Dude = Dragon
Its not that i don't like the synchro mechanic. I just wish they had put more thought into it and made it more thematic. Synchro is just a contact fusion which creates weird results.
Synchro: a monster tunes his soul and the other monster passes through it combining with speed to bring forth a monster
Xyz: two monsters build the overlay network to bring a monster through it with a rank
@@SpartanChief2277 Maybe im not imaginative enough but i don't know what tuning your soul would mean. When i hear tuning i think of music or cars. Not of souls and monsters.
Tuning would be a cool idea if it only brought out mechanical and cybernetic monsters. Because i think that the synchro summon mechanic made sense fore yuseis junk warrios but not for blue eyes or black wings.
And I don't know that the overlay network is. Maybe it would makes more sense if i had watched the corresponding anime.
@@Trashloot gaia sits on dragon, fusion monster
And yes that's what tuning would mean, synchro is about speed and that's how they come through
@@SpartanChief2277 There are some stupid fusions. But Gaia is still a combination of two monsters. There are way worse examples.
You haven't sold me on synchro summoning yet. I doesn't make sense to me that a Bird can tune another bird in to an ice dragon. ^^
@@Trashloot or how two different types and attributes fuses to make a mudragon
Ritual and Fusion monsters weren't originally designed as the "inherent mechanics" of the game, but more like card (originally spell) effects that summon powerful monsters. Konami had to introduce some really overpowered stuff to even make them viable in the TCG/OCG. As for Ritual Dimension, rituals are a part of the long gone history of the original world, so they exist in every dimension equally, even though they are a rare relic of the past there.
You know, this is a very interesting way of looking at Yugioh. And your view on how Rituals actually work out is interesting... it's not a good mechanic because it's not supposed to be. An interesting view. Based upon the past and Synchro is the improvement over times.
Kaiba truly is a madlad.
PS: Thanks for the entertaining Video, it brought several perspectives i've never thought about before.
The fact that I just realized 99 villagers were sacrificed scares me since I believe Yami bakura would have made 100 signifying the chaos even more since that would represent the original 100 number monsters.
There was only 99 original number monsters
Numbers 100-107 were the cards or the Barian emperors
@@SpartanChief2277 numeron dragon was a barian card
@@junkyardbronze3531 ok? There were only 99 original number cards
Dude. Making a damn Yugioh Timeline video already.
We NEED this.
Your Theories by far make so much more sense than any other "official" Timelines done by other people.
Anyone here after Drytron was invented?
also add that ritual summoning needs monsters that add up to AT LEAST the level of the to be summoned monster. syncro needs exact because it doesnt allow for excess energy.
Still my favorite summoning method, less thought needed
Ironically, ritual does need a bit more thought for it to rise to higher prominence. Maybe make the ritual cards do more than just allow for the monster to be summoned.
More sacrifice. More abilities,!
Have you considered playing drytron?
Dude I love your theory videos this shit is just feeding me rn. I love yugioh and have been pretty deep in it since I was little, but your giving me a new (and quite fresh) perspective on it and I can't thank you enough for that.
Aura's school wasn't founded by Leo
I always wondered if ritual monsters should have been in the extra deck. I mean, using a spell card and sacrificing monsters from your hand to ritual summon a monster from your extra deck sounds so much better than having both spell and monster in your hand ro summon.
Make it so they can be ritual summoned from the deck as well as the hand.
Dude This was amazing. Really reaching but that's how theories work. I think rituals are good they just need a quick effect summon type of thing to disrupt your opponents plays or something. Nekroz should not be the only thing close to a good ritual archetype. Megalith flopped hard. It was a good gimmick but they just weren't there. Gimmick that was inconsistent.
the only reason there is parallel dimension in Arc-V is because they are created to imprison Z-ARC and the reason why there is no ritual dimension is because Z-ARC doesnt use ritual monster, if I'm not mistaken.
so I'm think the only reason ritual monster exist in Arc-V is because of Leo Akaba since is from the dimension before it was spited, so he just reintroduce ritual monster in his school and reintroduce solid vision to standard and later all other parallel dimension.
so that is probably why you only see ritual monster user from student of Duel Academy in fusion dimension.
I love ritual summons. It’s a shame it didn’t take off like xyz,fusion and Synchro summoning
