"Oh, Black Luster Soldier. No one must ever know about our forbidden love"
What
Its from the abridged series
@@user-nx2qw2hh4q yugi's grandpa from Yugioh The abridged series
@@user-nx2qw2hh4qAbridged Series reference.
What episode?
Fun facts:
1) Morphing Jar #2 is Chaos Pod in the ocg, so it's a Chaos monster
2) Phantom Beasts, Chaos & Archfiends are the only archetypes left in Yugi's Deck to cover
3) if you're sick of Dark Magician fusing with Yugi's big monsters, i have bad news for you
watch it fuse with the Egyptian Gods
I wish jest to see how broke it be to help cope

One of the biggest crime of the Yu-Gi-Oh western adaptation is losing the "Chaos Soldier" archetype name!
Agreed, after getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh as an adult, and BLS being my favorite monster as a kid, I learned while making a deck around it that it is originally called "Chaos Soldier" and falls into a whole Chaos archetype. And ever since I refer to it as Chaos Soldier and not BLS
Well yah but from it's we got two types and a lot of reprints if konami ever decided to change and update the cards text.
The way they debuted this card in the anime was awesome and very reminiscent of when Yugi summoned Exodia. Yugi was losing and had to depend on specific cards in order to win. The way Pegasus was shook when Yugi summoned it helped portray BLS as a serious boss monster.
I might be misremembering but I'm pretty sure against Pegasus Yugi summons Magician of Black Chaos not BLS. He summoned BLS against Mai
@@adhamwashere5320 yeah but Pegasus was surprised when Yugi summoned it against Mai
Still, Yami went neg 3 for a vanilla ritual. That is bad value and a major tempo loss
@@VindicatorsPledgedoesn’t matter, he still won
@@VindicatorsPledge When your opponent's only removal effect is a 2900 ATK dragon, I think that's plenty good enough
Black luster soldier is (in my opinion) one of Yugi's most badass monsters. next to dark paladin
Gandora?
This is Atem's Monster Spirit
@@simon6157That's regular Yugi's deck.
Dark paladin aka dragun
And Buster Blader
BLS being Gaia makes perfect sense considering each of Yugi's signature boss monsters are either alternate dimention versions of the Dark magician or upgrades forms of one. This goes even a step further as the dark magician has a Chaos upgrade as well who is a direct warrior reflection. Dark Magician is a level 7 spellcaster who has a level 8 spellcaster ritual upgrade in Magician of Black Choas. Gaia the Fierce Knight is a level 7 Warrior with a level 8 warrior ritual upgrade in Black Luster Soldier. Both would further get effect monster counterparta in Magician of Black Chaos and Black Luster Soldier:Envoy of the Beginning. Both have support spells including DMoC having Dedication Through Light and Darkness provide another summoning condition that hammers in the transformation of the focused monster into a higher form through a mix of light and dark spellcasting. Whats more about BLS:EotB is its connection to being on the level of Blue Eyes through ANOTHER card. Chaos Emperor Dragon: Envoy of the End is a destructive dragon type monster that IS BLS:EotB. If you pay attention to the hair, amormored scales, and overall design of the dreagon, you will realize it is just BLS transformed into one as his final form at the end of everything. This is fitting since it was not weirlded by Yugi but rather KAIBA. It was the version of BLS that he would naturally keep in his deck. The early sig/boss monsters had A LOT of hints to being alternate reality/themed versions of others that were fairly subltle in some caes but less in others.
🤯 genuine reaction ngl
@@DavidAKJohnson Same! I always thought they were different! This makes me love the archetype even more!
The other dimension dark magician theory seems interesting, I’d like to hear more about it
I had no idea BLS and Gaia had a lore connection. This is why I wish yugioh would make some sort of comic book or video game about the history of the monster world, there’s so many lore connections
Such as Wynn and Winds being connected by family despite Wynn moves away.
Plus many more. Also duel terminal
I mean just with the World Chalice lore you could make at least an entire anime season and a movie, what a wasted opportunity. At least they took a step in the right direction with the Sky Striker manga
@@dbomba if you like the World Chalice lore, play Xenoblade Chronicles. I swear Konami was looking at XC when making WC.
I love it how konami made BLS younger version because :
1. It represents Yugi as the younger form and Atem as the adult form because in the anime Atem can turn himself into the adult form chaos soldier a.k.a BLS
2. Just like his Silent magician and swordman, It really describes the figure of Yugi Muto who wants to become more mature
I never knew black luster soldier was basically gaia the fierce knight. Though looking at the face and the hair now I can definitely see that it is one and the other. It's things like that that make me interested in the yugioh universe even if I don't play the card game anymore or watch the anime. The Archetype itself sounds like it's pretty fun to use and why I'm not surprised that it would have a dark magician fusion lol. Regardless fantastic look into the guy who was probably yugi's Grandpa's secret lover TGS!
That just made me love more Gaia😍
@@kinologan5074the horse is used in dark cavalry
I’ll never forget the time as a kid, maybe I was 7, my brother who was 10 bought these for me at the card shop and gave them to me. He then sat and played the only game we ever played. Thanks for the memory. ❤
I can't say for other TCGs, but growing up on YuGiOh, I absolutely love the card arts and the story they tell. Taking the "picture worth a thousand words" serious with whole episodes told through a couple cards either directly related or loosely related.
Probably my favorite monster deck of the entire franchise. Just from the design, lore & just how good it is.
When I was a kid, the Black Luster Soldier was one of my all-time favorite Yu-Gi-Oh monsters. I loved the design of the card artwork, I loved how it had the same stats of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and I especially loved how Yugi summoned the Black Luster Solider in his debut episode. Just seeing Gaia and Kuriboh being sacrificed and then seeing Gaia running towards the Gateway of Chaos to become a brand-new monster, while at the same time Yugi creating a powerful speech involing the creation of this new monster sent chills down my spine. It was such a great moment.
Hell, I even loved the scene when Yugi and Kaiba fused their Black Luster Soldier and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to create the monster Dragon Master Knight and destroy the Five-Headed Dragon/Mystic Dragon. Needless to say, I was obsessed with that card. Hell, I even remembered when me and my fellow classmates were discussing their favorite Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and I told them that Black Luster Soldier was my favorite.
With that said, I don't remember if you already did this or not, but I think the next Archetype video should focus on the Chaos Archetype. Since you've already done the Gaia the Fierce Knight and Curse of Dragon Archetypes in the previous video and the Black Luster Soldier Archetype in this video, then it only makes sense to complete the trifecta by talking about the Chaos Cards.
i'd always get black luster soldier and buster blader confused as a child. Didn't help that Dragon Master Knight basically had Buster Blader's effect
That's cause it's all based on the lure of wizards and warriors battling dragons. So hence they both are designed to do that since seto is Yugi's biggest rival and the only one he clearly views. As a threat since his deck is catered to combatting his deck and yet seto isn't given shit to do that against Yugi's deck is a crime in punishment
I have a theory that Black Luster Soldier and Dark Magician might actually be related in some way but went their separate ways as brothers because Dark Magician engaged in the forbidden arts of sorcery while Black Luster was trained in combat and learned to be respectful of the Earth instead of using dark powers to overcome evil threats.
There is also a difference in respecting dark powers and abusing it but those who are mentally weak will never actually accept this
@pstcKC Not really, the biggest flaw of practitioners of "dark arts" is their inherent arrogance to think they're more special than others and won't be corrupted by it despite literally no one has ever avoided corruption.
The only way to "respect" it is to reject it.
I think you'd have more of a case with Magician of Black Chaos rather than Dark Magician
I love this monster's lore so much. It is epic.
y'all be forgetting about Chaos End Ruler - Ruler Of The Beginning And The End . An anime exclusive card that references both black luster soldier and chaos emperor dragon as a summoning condition .
Was that in duel monsters??? I don't remember that
@@stilllkissi4027 it appeared briefly in zexal anime
I wish to see a retrain of master of dragon soldier with black luster soldier wearing the blue-eyes as armor. As well as fusion with buster blade a dragon tamer and dragon slayer.
Did you guys know that all this time after watching capsule monsters i thought Black Luster Soldier was the evolved form of Obnoxious Celtic Guardian/Vanilla Celtic Guardian man was a foolish but still glad to see that Gaia the Fierce Knight still stayed relevant as both himself and Black Luster Soldier
I’m the Celtic Guardian, stronger than titanium. Here I am, going to blow your cranium.
Lol I made the connection that buster and luster where bothers. And dm was their wizard that helped them on their quest to hunt dragons hence why he's fused with both of them.
"Now, Black Luster Soldier, Chaos Blade attack!!!" -Atem, Duelist Kingdom Semifinals 1
11:50 actually if you look closely the dark side of evening twilight is not envoy of the beginning, I used to think it was too, but the armour is slightly darker and it has a different design, I realised this when the kid versions came out and have been waiting on them to release a full dark version of sacred soldier ever since.
Actually the dark half might be Chaos end ruler from zexal
@@stilllkissi4027 Too bad it will never be printed
Today on another: "Archertypes forever stuck in meme tier that I love".
Yugi hand Envoy of the Beginning ane Kaiba had Envoy of the End. They really were destined to be rivals.
I hope if they ever do another master anime, if they don’t introduce any new mechanic I think it would be cool to have the protagonist be a ritual user that kind of dips into other summon mechanics
"if they don’t introduce any new mechanic" - hahahahahahahahah, good one
I really enjoy these little dives into archetypes. I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh anymore, but it's always nice to look at whats happening
Grandpas BF is an amazing archetype. Even if their love is forbidden.
If it's "forbidden" because one is a card and the other isn't, someone needs to tell Yubel.
@@christopherb501 Or get Yubel to teach Black Luster Soldier how to spirit merge..
@@nemesisofedenI'm not so sure about THAT...
XD
After the Gaia Archetype video, I was hoping for a Black Luster Soldier video and man, was it everything I hoped it’d be. As one of my favorite monsters from the series, it’s awesome how far BLS has come as its own archetype, one that I’d say is also the poster child for Ritual Summoning.
One of my favorite archetypes of all time. It’ll never be one of the strongest/more competitive decks, but I’m glad it still gets support!
it is in Duel Links
Black Luster Solider has always been my favorite card. Idk what it was, the cool armor, it being a ritual just the presentation of it being summoned. It just blew me away when I first met it and I love that continued to support it so it can be its own archetype of just boss monsters. I’m happy to be able to play a deck of just my favorite card
To further the connection with Gaia, in Yugioh and the Falsebound Kingdom to unlock Black Luster Solider you have to use Black Luster Ritual on Gaia the Fierce Knight
This just came to me, but Sam forgot 2 cards:
1) Toon Black Luster Soldier (who is part of this archetype), it's summoning condition is the same as the og ritual spell, and has a double attack like bls-eotb (even though it's a toonified version of the og ritual monster)
2) Elemental Hero Neos Knight, visually its Neos with BLS' armor, but if BLS is the other fusion material monster, Neos Knight's atk goes up to 4000 (and has a double attack)
I firmly believe that if you were to make a poll over what's cooler Black Luster Soldier or Buster Blader, it would be split perfectly at 50/50
Blader haha bladder
@@kinkykink5235 lol fixed, autocorrect
You could tell mai had never ever heard of this bull before. Old yugioh was crazy. To be fair every game has new cards.. but effects were wild
I'd love to see a video on the chaos archetype as a whole
3:28 - This is contradicted later in the manga, where it is revealed that Atem is Black Luster Soldier.
Imagine a fusion between black luster soldier and dark magician of black chaos?
I'm all for new Dark Magician fusion monsters, but as long as we don't have a searcher for the deck's best Fusion Spell (The Eye of Timaeus), every fusion boss monster we get will be a niche tech if anything else.
Master of Chaos the cover card for Battle Chaos is closest thing we have to that kind of Fusion.
I just want a BLS Chaos dragon fusion.
Would not even make sense nor work. Master of Chaos is basically that Fusion.
@@fxljawdym if branded can have like every card be a searcher or a branded fusion with attack points then so can the eye of timeaus... wait...
Yes!! Thank you for taking your time to do this video 🙏
I've been waiting for this video ty cx
Thank you for doing this archetype it's one of my favorite yugioh archetypes.
Love how shocked Pegasus was when yugi summoned it vs Mai
But wait! There's more!
There's another monster card that is not a BLS, but it share parts of it including Chaos Emperor Dragon- Envoy of The End. And that's
Chaos End Ruler - Ruler of the Beginning and The End
Thank you for covering this one. Love this archetype
Dude you’re literally talking about my Chaos-Dark Magician deck right now 😂 Its actually helping me understand the heart of the cards more Great video bro
This was really entertaining and interesting to see. Thank you
Black luster soldier is my favorite monster. Second to Gaia the fierce knight. Thank you for the video
About time someone makes a video on the black luster soilder archetype 😂🎉🎉🎉
Frfr
Fun fact: I use Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos in my Super Quant deck. It is convenient when I can't summon out Great Magnus right away, it can gain its protections from using Super Quantum White Layer, and thematically, it matches up with a few of the Super Quant's aesthetics. In particular, since the Super Quant's have a RGB light theme, since the combination of color light is white light, the absence of color is black. It is also a subtle reference to Super Sentai/Power Rangers, as occasionally, the team will have an additional member of the team that isn't a ranger themself, called an Extra Hero.
I like how Black Luster Soldier is the first ritual monster to be released in the OCG and TCG.
I love these archetype videos, I hope to see a visas starfrost lore video soon.
Hi TGS, u forgot the "Toon Black Luster Soldier": it need 8 or more combined Lv of toon monster, so its like a ritual summon but with toons (or monsters stealed by comic hand) , can banish one card per turn and the BLS Shield countertrap card works also well with it on the field.
Great video talking about my favorite archetype
One lore theory I've had for a little while about the links between the Gaia Knight monsters and the Black Luster Soldiers: 'Gaia the Fierce Knight' isn't really a single knight, but rather represents an ORDER of Knights, with the numerous forms of the Gaia Knights representing various members or positions/ranks within the order. And the Black Luster Soldiers represent a select few members of the 'Gaia Knights' who have undergone the 'Black Luster Ritual' and passed through a 'Gate of Chaos', as we saw in Yugi's duel with Mai, to become one of these 'Super Soldiers' imbued with the power of Chaos.
That’s actually pretty good
That actually makes sense their are multiple versions of Gaia Knights and also the BLS/Chaos Soldiers are enhanced Knights empowered by Light and Darkness in order to combat Supernatural Forces also it connects Gaia Knights to Dark Magician Buster Blader & even Summoned Skull
You know ive been watching your videos many times but today I subscribed just because I love your videos
4:14 So… we’re not gonna discuss BLS(J)(Black Luster Soljersey)?😂😂😂
Dear GODS do I want more from the Jerseys.
BLS was always a pretty cool looking monster and still is cool to this day with the new ones.
I even played the BLS deck in the rental duels that one event he was in it and had a 7-0 w/l with the mentioned rental deck. Not a single opponent also played the BLS deck either.
The fact we don’t have BLS related Griffore retrain is such a shame
In the counter trap it can be seen that he is reflecting or at least holding the blast from Blue-eyes demonstrating the match he is for that monsters power. BTW is there any deck list of BLS that actually dose not brick that much with all those Boss monsters?
In duel links even if you make a 30 card deck (maximum deck limit), you will NOT brick all the time
BLS was always one of my favorite boss monsters. It was the pride of my elementary school Yugioh deck since my BLS ritual spell was foil.
Quick tip:
YGO Dueling Nexus actually HAS the Normal BLS (plus it’s legal), and it’s pretty good in a Pendulum or Normal deck!
Black Luster Soldier is so cool 🔥🔥🔥
I love these videos. They make me want to build these decks and go ham on master duel.
Man, that sound effect of the Black Luster Ritual card being slapped on the field 👌🏾👌🏾
Love seeing a new video from you :3
You gotta love black luster soldjersey from rush duel!
I like the Black Luster Soldier Archetype. And I would say that Black Luster Soldier is the Ka of Atemu.
there actually is an OCG legal version of the normal BLS released in September 2023
Watching this video made me want to go back and watch a few of the first episodes and when I did, I saw a few things that I didn't notice before.
1. On episode 2, there is a poster of Black Luster Solider fighting agains Harpies Pet Dragon.
2. When Pegasus first challenges Yugi to a duel, it shows a glimpse of the final round with Yugi's Magician of Black Chaos attacking Pegasus's Thousand Eyes Restrict, winning the duel.
3. On the ship when Yugi and Joey first meet Weevil and he starts explaining how other duelists are trading cards, there is a short scene that shows a set of cards in their hand, that not only has Kunai with Chai, but also an Exodia piece, so that means that a kid planned on using Exodia in the tournament as well, but since he had it in his hand, he was probably trying to trade it and since Weevil has a habit of tossing cards off boats, perhaps Weevil did to him, what he did to Yugi.
Great vid 😊 love black luster soldier
I just realized the link monster looks like the other 3 combined. And needing 3 different names? It’s perfect
These videos always make me want to get a deck with that archetype.
As someone who barely played Yu-Gi-Oh, I entered a play by post campaign that revolved around it (Duels included). I was the only person to use a Chaos deck, and honestly I lost almost every duel, but the other players said it was the scariest deck they played against. And I can confirm, BLS Envoy of the Beginning was one of my favorites in there.
It wasn't y'know, perfect chaos. We randomly drafted cards, I just got hella lucky, but still. Felt very anime to just be on the back burner the entire time then just "Oh ok well guess we're scaring the hell out of them first huh?"
They put so much detail into the lore and art of the archetypes and I feel it's goes mostly unappreciated
Dark Magician, Buster Blader, Black Luster Solder are the true trinity of Yugi's deck. It would be cool to get a Chaos Fusion of all 3 😁 😁 😁
Finally! I’VE BEEN WAITING 4 THIS!!!
Coming back to this after the most recent anniversary event for Duel Links, they gave us a normal monster version of Black Luster Soldier like that one that was only in the OCG. What luck.
Hmmm…
If _I_ were to make a Support card for the archetype…
_Black Luster Might_
Quick-Play Spell
((\This card is always treated as an "Chaos" card.)
_This card’s activation and effects cannot be negated or responded to if you control a face-up “Black Luster Soldier” monster. Shuffle 8 cards of yours that are Banished, in the GY, on the field and/or from your hand into your deck: Apply any of the following effects in any order you wish:_
⚪️Normal or Special Summon up to 3 monsters that mention “Black Luster Soldier” in their names or effects from your hand, deck or GY, ignoring their summoning conditions, and if you do, they cannot be destroyed or banished by card effects while this card that was first activated and resolved is in your GY. This is treated as a Ritual Summon for any Ritual Monsters summoned.
⚪️Add to your hand, set or Activate up to 3 Spells/Traps that mention “Black Luster” or “Chaos” in their names or effects from your hand, deck or GY, except “Black Luster Might”.
This is a well timed video for me cause I'm thinking about making a bls themed deck
Ngl this one of the coolest looking arcgetype. Time to build my bls deck.
Was definitely waiting for this one, are we ever gonna get a vid on the cards like Horus, nephyths, and the creator? Is there even a name for that archetype? I always called them pseudo Egyptian god cards
Fun fact. It is not only version of ocg vanila BLS, this year it is printed again on regular cardboard and it is massprinted, still around 1k $
I wonder what a fusion of BLS and Red-eyes Black Dragon would be like?
Any chance of updated videos on the Yubel and Gate Guardian archetypes
Amazing content as always
This is a minor detail. I'm not sure if it was done on purpose or a mere coincidence. In the Yugi vs. Mai duel, Yugi offered Gaia the Fierce Knight (level 7 EARTH) and Kuriboh (level 1 DARK) as tributes to summon the original ritual Black Luster Soldier (also EARTH).
In 2004, Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of the Beginning (LIGHT) was released in Invasion of Chaos, which is around the time that Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight and Watapon were released. Swift Gaia is a DARK attribute version of Gaia with the same stats. Meanwhile, Watapon seems like a LIGHT Fairy-type counterpart of Kuriboh just with the ATK and DEF inverted.
Both LIGHT and DARK are what need to be removed from play in order to special BLS:EotB. Anybody else notice that?
Sidenote: also, included in the same booster set is Chaos Sorcerer. Same summoning conditions as BLS:EotB. To me, he looks a lot like like Gaia, same level and ATK but just 100 less DEF
Summoning legendary soldier with advanced ritual art to wipe out your opponent's entire board is so satisfying.
I'd be down to see a video on the Gradius and B.E.S. archetypes
I like it in super soldier shield it looks like he's blocking a burst stream of destruction from blue eyes
chaos dragon and bls envoy of beginning really really fit kaiba and yugi well.
Such a badass art when i first seen it when i was a wee lil boy.
Here we go my favorite card been waiting for you to cover it
Have you done a video yet on the chaos archetype? If not, can you please do one? Thanks! Love your awesome videos and I appreciate the hard work that goes into them!
Man I love when subtitles are so absolutely clearly wrong.
Subtitle: "Black luster ritual"
Audio: "chaos gishki"
Hmmmm I wonder what the name is
The "or Black Luster Soldier"" part of Magician of Chaos's effect, is because of BLS's Japanese name being Chaos Soldier.
It's a constant problem caused by the early localization changes and an instance where they can't just rename the set because BLS is too iconic.
Unlike Black Dragon's Hatchling which could escape being "Red-eyes B. Chick" because nobody actually played it
Except frog the jam
And yet i like "Black Luster Soldier" compared to just "Chaos Soldier" so much more
I think the issue would be solved if the BLS cards have a problem solving text like summoned skull that says:
(This card is always treated as a "Chaos" card)
It feels like it would be better to just bite the bullet and change the names back to the originals in order to streamline everything
He is a pretty sick monster.
I feel if he is Gaia, that the horse should be incorporated in some way. Same for curse of dragon
Doesn’t even have to ride them, maybe just have their auras around him as part of an attack
I was today years old when I found out BLS is Gaia
Its also a cool chaos theming that Super Soldier Synthesis has Envoy of Chaos holding a ball of dark energy, while Beginning of Heaven and Earth has him holding a ball of light energy!
BLS is one of my favorite monsters. I was so happy that bandai made a model kit of it.
Nice archetype, hoping you can do Jaden VS Alexis for the record TGS anime, keep it up
Soldier of Chaos is one of my all time favorite cards to use, hands down.
EYYYY. MY FAVORITE ARCHETYPE FINALLY GOT A VIDEO!
Man i love your videos
