There is one mistake in the video in that it is Constellar Castor that stops Psychelone, not his brother Constellar Pollux. Outside of this, there are three details in Noellia's story that I had omitted to condense the story, but that are worth mentioning: [1] Part of the reason why Noellia is transformed into Psychelone at 7:34 is because she tried reviving Natalia AGAIN, likely out of desperation when the DT gestapo showed up at Gishki headquarters. The ritual failed (what is it with Gishki rituals and failing?) and the Steelswarm took advantage of the aftermath. [2] Noellia is actually the person responsible for the corruption of the Vylons mentioned at 8:27. At one point, she infiltrates the anti-Steelswarm alliance and is able to transform into Evigishki Tetrogre using Vylon Tetra. With the machine fused to her mind, she lets the Steelswarm infiltrate its programming. Given the Vylons have a connected consciousness, the demons spread their influence to all of them.

@@YukiFubuki. Honestly that what makes it great, I can see the story having many protagonists like in Arcane. Like DT part 1 protagonists: 1. "Commander Gottoms, Swordmaster" as he takes the lead of the X-sabers with the disappearance of their previous leader (While also taking the lead of the allies of justice alliance), how his story ends is unknown which makes him perfect as a protagonist. 2. "Genex Controller" (maybe) if you know you know. 3. Noellia, her story does build up for the events of Part 2. Part 2 protagonists: 1. "Gem Knight Crystal" for being the leader of the Gem Knights, how all of them will be important for the plot from this point forward. 2. "Gishki Avance" (important role in the story). 3. Noillia (maybe?) 4. "Kamui Hope Of Gusto". (also the Charmers and Gagagigo's stories happens in the time between part2 and part 3) Part 3 Protagonists: 1. "Ritual Beast Tamer Lara" or "Ritual Beast Tamer Elder"(Kamui) or both. 2. "Shurit Strategist Of The Nekroz" or his father (Avance) or both. That's kinda it for part 3 since there weren't as many groups as part 2 and part 1.
For anyone wondering what became of Avance and Emilia, they would go on to becoming the founders of the Nekroz tribe; Emila would become the Dance Princess of Nekroz while Avance would become Sorcerer of the Nekroz. Emila and Avance would also have a son named Shurit however, their story continues the tragedy of the Duel Terminal Wars as the next threat they would face would be the Qliphorts, the Shaddolls, and the Infernoids, all three bringing about a great beast of destruction that would force Emillia to invoke a new ritual to grant her the power of Sophia, the goddess of Rebirth from Duel Terminal 1 there is however a happy ending as after the final battle when all of the remaining enemies were defeated, in the artwork of Zefra Providence, you see in said artwork Noellia and the other duel terminal monsters who died in the previous battle against the steelswarms and worms, is greeting Avance and Emilia as they watch Gem Knight Crystal and Lapis joining Noellia and the others in the afterlife. With all traces of the evil that plagued the duel terminal world now eradicated, the souls of those who were enslaved by this evil, now at peace or have been freed and have rejoined their tribes. so while much suffering occurred and as tragic as the Ice Barrier and Gishki lines have endured, there is a happy ending for them.

Most of the time, Z-ARC would win since the deck has multiple supports compared to Qliphort, which only had 2-3 boosters. Even their boss cards will simply die to Z-ARC's on-summon effect. However, once you step outside of their dedicated cards, it's anyone's guess.
Agreed! I will say, though, that Galzo (another Yugi-tuber) did a pretty solid job of making a cinematic edit of Albaz's story. Worth checking out if you haven't already!
Me personally, i kinda want to see an animated short story of Eldlich the golden lord. it would be mad tragic but seeing a fully animated eldlich would be absolutely godlike.
I don't own or play Gishki, but making this video is pushing me to try them out. It's surprising how deep of a story some archetypes have in this children's card game.
I appreciate this simple breakdown of the events and steps of each, trying to puzzle the story together without translations is a pain. Keep at it bro, this is awesome
There are actually some translations of the DT Master Guide on YGOrganization and Yugipedia that I referenced. I then condensed the story and made it a little cinematic (though not completely as to offer a few tidbits of how the actual cards reflect their story). Nonetheless, appreciate the support!
It seems Steelsworm traded the lore power shield but when it came for actually being cards that funktion they fell of the table and then got eaten by Maxx C to make sure only one roach excists in the game.
It's a shame, honestly. They're so cool in DT's lore but completely lackluster IRL. I'm hoping we get future support for them and or some sort of retrain as did Ritual Beasts, Noids, Ice Barrier, and Genex recently.
Duel terminal is the biggest yugioh lore series we have right now. Fell in love with the story when I heard that my noids were the final boss of the series😂
Thanks for including the name of the cards the artwork is from on the top right. It’s so interesting seeing both subtle & explicit connections within all the archetype illustrations!! One of my favorite parts about this game
It was Constellar Castor that knocked the evil out of Gishki Psychelone and took it into himself to become Evilswarm Castor. In the art of Constellar Meteor you see his attack dislodged the Steelswarm Spirit/ghost/corruption that Noellia got in the art of Creeping Darkness, and you can see Constellar Pollux trying to stop him in the foreground
Thank you for catching this! After double checking the DT Master Guide, it seems I missed that small detail. For a while now, I've incorrectly assumed Castor was a corrupted Pollux since there was no real "Constellar Castor" card. I knew that Castor and Pollux were brothers in Greek mythology, but assumed Konami was simply interpreting the tale uniquely. So, I didn't double check the matter in advance. I made a pinned comment.
Im a simple man. I see Gishki, i press like. Gishki is easily in my top 5 favorite archtypes of all time. Im glad the new support made them more playable. Thank you for this video
Talking about the lore has made me want to play the deck, so I'm looking into it. Definitely a classic ritual deck. Thanks for choosing to watch the video!
Yes! I didn't mention that part because I was more focused on Noellia and the Gishki archetype. But Avance grows old and becomes Great Sorc, overseeing the Nekroz. Emilia is a bit more interesting - it's clear she's Dance Princess in the Nekroz archetype, but she doesn't appear to age. Perhaps the ritual Noellia performed altered her soul or something, or maybe she's like part spirit still.
@@pk_tuneworld i think its more that great sorc got older for some reason, as ariel hasn't aged up anywhere near as much. she seems the same amount older as dance princess. granted the nekroz ages are all over the place when they use the armor so who knows if their unarmored forms are their real ages either
Finished the video, it was great! Now I understand why the characters in Winds Over the Ice Barrier didn't looked anything like Revealer or Judge. Awsome vid!
Dragunity is also apart of duel terminal they come from the dragon ravine located somewhere in the mist valley, they help fight the 3 ice barrier dragons. You can see Ascalon and Trishula fighting in the artwork of Ice Dragon's Prison.
They really managed to build such a comprehensive and dark story with just a bunch of cardboard. I wonder how much of the interconnectivity was planned ahead of time since Duel Terminal 1 is literally just an alien invasion tale.
Thank you for choosing to watch it! I'm definitely going to do more DT lore, though my next lore video isn't going to be DT. There are some short videos on my channel (not voiceovers) that do cover some smaller bits from DT.
Damnn.. One of my main deck Gishki, what a amazing lore they have, I keep staring on the cool artstyle of their cards, and knowing more about this videos really amaze me more.
Damn I started playing when the Freezing Chains SD came out on the TCG, needless to say IB is my favourite archetype... didn't knew they had this rich of a history! nice video.
See, this is a good point because I was trying to push the "tormented" narrative based on my interpretation of the Steelswarm's powers (and clickbait, shhhh). The Steelswarm "amplify negative emotions" as the DT guide states. You could interpret this at face value - the demons are able to deepen deviant feelings pre-existent in an individual to the point where they are willing to forgo normal social boundaries. If true, this would mean the Steelswarm would have amplified Noellia's already present prejudice against other tribes (maybe from the tribal conflict prior to the Worm's arrival), convincing her to commit those crimes. Hence your thought of her as a "tormentor" because, in this manner, she was acting in part due to her own ideals. Yet, I feel as though young Noellia's attempts to stop the Worms + her consoling children from various tribes after the Worms were gone speaks to her naturally good character. Also, when she is freed from the Steelswarm's influence, she immediately goes back on some of her wrongdoing - something that I don't think isn't always easily done if you had deep-seeded prejudices. Hence why I interpreted the "amplify negative emotions" as another way to say the Steelswarm were able to control victims' minds by infiltrating them through negative emotions. TLDR is that I want to call her "tormented" because I feel she was being controlled to commit crimes she didn't want to as opposed to her being pressured to do so.
Though I do want us to finally get that Nekroz trap card that Clausolas mentions (WHERE IS IT???), I feel as though the Duel Terminal story finished so nicely. The tribes of DT3 (Ritual Beast, Nekroz, Tellars, Yang Zing, Gem-Knights), at its conclusion, were able to finally vanquish all the gods that tried to control them and were given the chance to build their own future. If anything, more Nekroz cards would hopefully add on a sort of "epilogue" rather than a full-blown sequel as did the recently printed Ritual Beast cards.
The best part is we have a high chance of getting an anime after that anniversary animation. Only thing that sucks is the fact it'll most likely be rushed.
Duel terminal is full of tragedies, according to the master guide very few survived the fight with Sophia Infact it's still not confirmed if the ice barrier tribe still exist when Noellia made the Gishki tribe
Psychelone and Zielgigas are such good cards especially in DL where I have played them a lot, I also like to play 1 noellia skmetimes. Crazy that the lord matches the power a bit
Damn… I think I really like the Ice Barrier deck now. Like I was using it all throughout the Wind and Water event but wow. That story was honestly amazing.
Literally me LOL. At first I was like "this loaner deck looks kinda cool, wonder if it's good". Now you see me making this video + lowkey building Ice Barriers IRL (and maybe Gishki???)
Thanks for choosing to watch it! I was surprised myself how deep the cards went - I was like you before where I only knew bits and pieces about it until actually putting in the time to understand it.
6:12 neriamanas is the revived ariel nekroz that stuck inside the infernoid canister, ritual beast return is the card where she popped out from the infernoid shell with blue orbs, winda came from green orbs.she is at the moment is in the exact same state as winda and amelia, just walking in the fine line between dead and alive. her current mentor is rasahalgue, he teach her to combine both swarms power and the mirror to hunt the remaining ilswarms in the planet. , as we can see from zefra providence, both rasahalgue and sombre returns back to their original form, constellar rasahalgue and gem knight lapis.
I appreciate your comment, but if I recall (correct me if I'm wrong), the Infernoids don't appear until Duel Terminal 3 way after the Evilswarms are vanquished. DT3 is when Winda got trapped in a container (you see this in Nephe Shaddoll Fusion) and likely when Ariel did. We also see Neremanas fighting the Evilswarm (Duel Terminal 2 only) in "Focused Aquamirror" alongside Avance who is supposed to be Great Sorcerer during the Infernoid's time. I'm pretty confident Neremanas is just an upgraded version of Mind Augus - that the corruption of Ariel into Apkallone doesn't happen until much later. You are right, however, that Constellar Rasalhague likely helped Neremanas + Neremanas uses the powers of the Ice Barrier as seen, again, in Focused Aquamirror.
i knew that MD has already covered it but i wanna see World Legacy's animated lore and also it'd be badass if they somehow clash the Orcust's musical opera vs Despian's dramatic theater
who knew ice barrier lore is connected to that many other archetype yugioh has the chance of becoming one of the best animes if they used the cards lore
Tbf it's pretty expensive and likely Konami is led by the same kind of backwards thinking corp you see on the west, so they're really unlikely to see the potential easily Heck, Konami has kinda buried most of their games
@@christhiancosta1844 Yeah you gotta a GREAT point actually. I just had a flashback to the list of mess ups they made. Who knows they might do another manga. I know they finished one for sky striker (waifu tax).
@@galaxyvulture6649 The Magistus manga started a while ago and it's already 7 chapters in (it is possible that the Magistus story will lead to the beginning of the DT lore, as some card artworks connects the 2 stories together but it's also possible to be just a coincidence)
I suppose the question would be how long would a show take to make. Pokemon has its issue partly because they rush out games. Yugioh wouldn’t want to invest in a show that is based on old products.
Oh wow, I just noticed that Worm Zero has what can only be described as humanoid corpses mashed into it on top of the Worms. Konami really wanted us to see Legion/Granfaloon in their card game.
Steelswarm Roach is featured in that card art, yes. Though, in contrast to the rest of the archetype, Roach is actually a good guy. The gist is: a wounded Steelswarm Sentinel contacts a broken Vylon. The interaction would've killed any other Steelswarm, but Sentinel somehow manages to merge with the technology and transforms into Roach. Why he is good is arguable - it could be because of the Vylon's programming or it could be because the Steelswarm as a species preyed on their own kind at certain points (see "Infestation Tool"). Regardless, Roach aids the tribes to stop his own kind, the Evilswarm, Sophia, and more. Exciton and Zefraxciton are later versions of Roach.
Is Avance supposed to be dressed like Altair from Assassin's Creed? I know it's not all of them, but some card artist must of thought that when drawing the art for "Winds Over the Ice Barrier".
I wouldn't know unfortunately. It's entirely possible given this archetype came out after the first Assassin's Creed, but it could also just be coincidence.
Small correction: It wasn't Pollux who sacrificed himself to defeat Psychelone. It was his brother, the other representative of the Gemini constellation, Constellar Castor (a non-existent card, that would later be revived as an Evilswarm).
I wonder what Noellia as Revealer of the Ice Barrier's 3rd effect of banishing herself from the graveyard to be one of the discard cost of Ice Barriers. Is it because of the last part of her story against Zielgigas or was it because of the two Ice Barrier dragons needing a discard for their effects?
Damn, that's a really good theory! My logic is telling me that effect is just there to punch home the importance of the Ice Barrier dragons + Revealer's supposed importance in the tribe. But, it's so cool to speculate it might also be a sort of "foreshadowing" of what eventually happens to Noellia!
Noellia's also indirectly responsible for the third Duel Terminal war, since the Shaddolls were only made possible by by the lswarm virus in Gem Knight Crystal's body mutating further.
They do! Great Sorcerer is an older Avance, Dance Princess is Emilia, and Shurit is their son. I didn't mention this bit in the video because I was more focused on Noellia's story.
There’s this weird part of the story where Noellia is essentially MIA and the Gishki join the tribes to combat the Steelswarm + corrupted Vylon (not sure how many of them actually knew Noellia was the one to free the Steelswarm as mentioned in the video). A soldier from every group gets XYZ powers to help the matter (see Lavalval Ignis, Daigusto Phoenix). There are additional details below if you’re interested in reading: yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Duel_Terminal_Master_Guide_card_storylines
@@pk_tuneworld thanks for the reply! I love looking into the lore of yugioh so your channel is definitely one I’m going to continue watching! Awesome stuff!
IT WAS! Even though the shutter was used in that video for Weevil's degenerate antics + (from what I understand) is used in Monogatari for similar reasons, it felt like such a unique way to display information that I wanted to try it.
All the card's names should be in the top right hand corner of the video whenever their art is shown. In this case, The card is card "Aquamirror Cycle".
I could be wrong, but I don't believe Wynn is connected to Winda despite their resemblance. Wynn owes to the Charmers which aren't currently linked to the Duel Terminal world. They're in a separate universe.
@@pk_tuneworld technically yes, however given how prevalent interdimensional travel is in Duel monster's lore, it could be possible that Wynn was transported to the world where most of the charmers reside (I'm thinking the world where most Spellcasters reside). It's never really explained how Wynn got there, but there are I've seen somewhere that states the Wynn and Winda are sisters.
@Sugatara-p7h from what I know about the S-force lore is that those guys are just going around fighting everybody from different dimensions and that some of their members are either corrupt or evil. But also learned that I:p is an info broker that usually sells information to the Evil Twins, which would mean that the S-force, :P, and Evil Twins monsters are in the same world (the girl on you're finished might also be in the same world but I'm not sure). So Wynn might have been transported across dimensions by the mishaps caused by the D.D gate or the gate the S-force use to traverse worlds.
@@nashcifer5666 I think Wynn either somehow lost her path home or left the Gusto tribe willingly (but yeah either most likely the sisters never met eachother again)
Wasn’t Gishki Ariel the only true survivor of the Gishki archetype and actually performed the Gishki ritual correctly? As Neremanas was the only EviGishki that wasn’t a mutated amalgam of a monster but ariel riding atop of the whale, she was able to defeat Evilswarm Ouroboros
Also, I’m super glad I can motivate you to make these videos. I love the lore behind the cards and people like you fill me into a story that I have longed for. Thanks Tune for everything.
I do mean it, by the way. Like, you don't need to donate to my Patreon as I say whenever I bring the platform up in videos. Even though it's only a dollar, it's not like you necessarily gain a ton out of it. So the fact you were willing to leave something tells me that my content is genuinely worth the time and that I should definitely make more. I'm thankful you have that much faith in me and definitely will be doing more lore videos :D
Oo a race of demon chemical warfare sacrificing family sounds cool and all but are they dragons that rule over dimension if only arc-v had a better studio and wasn’t rushed it could’ve been peak still won’t stop me from loving the dragons also I have one heck of an imagination going off the cars art and your narration I can picture the scenes in my head I just need the voices and I can play an episode in my head of this imagination for the W
i do wanna see a mention of the shaddoll lore because even if el shaddoll winda is "evil" or "corrupted" i am legally married to her as the dice have told and the only regret i have is that we were enslaved by evil vampire space nerds for context a server im in did a small game where we got random archetypes and had to choose a monster to smooch, then we rolled a d20 to get the result. my archetypes were shaddoll and subterror, first roll was winda, which was a 20, and everyone agreed that meant marriage everyone else died by the end, except for the guy who got vampire and kozmo who ended up conquering the universe
Yes! Theres a short video on him on my channel. But, TLDR: one of the Steelswarms end up defecting and helping out the tribes. He becomes Roach > Exciton Knight > Zefraxciton and is honestly a really cool character for DT 2 and 3.
Duel Terminal 1's storyline covers the Worm invasion and the Fabled Invasion. Duel Terminal 2 covers the Steelswarm re-emergence, the Evilswarm infestation, and the rise and fall of Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth. Duel Terminal 3 is Shaddoll, Infernoids, etcetera.
Though I really want a lore-focused show, I feel like there's a massive benefit in having an anime tied to the game itself. The lore definitely gets you hooked on how cool specific archetypes are, but I feel like you're able to appreciate them more when you're already invested in Yugioh. Shows directly tied to the game are a nice way to flaunt how cool duels can be and inspire new players to give things a shot. Definitely only an opinion though - since we don't have an actual lore anime yet, it's hard to anticipate how many people that type of media might bring in statistically.
Unfortunately no :( You'd have to search online for translations of the Japanese Duel Terminal Guide. It tells the story but doesn't have illustrated panels that detail the matter like manga/ comic books.
Indeed! I didn't mention them because I was focused solely on Noellia and the Gishki tribe, but it is true that Avance and Emilia would go on to create the Nekroz tribe that appears in Duel Terminal 3.
I didn't include them in this video because I was focused mainly on Noellia's story + the Gishki's story. The Nekroz, however, occur several years after the events of this video. Great Sorcerer is an older Avance, Dance Princess is Emilia, and Shurit is the son of the two.

Thanks for including the name of the cards the artwork is from on the top right. It’s so interesting seeing both subtle & explicit connections within all the archetype illustrations!! One of my favorite parts about this game
It was Constellar Castor that knocked the evil out of Gishki Psychelone and took it into himself to become Evilswarm Castor. In the art of Constellar Meteor you see his attack dislodged the Steelswarm Spirit/ghost/corruption that Noellia got in the art of Creeping Darkness, and you can see Constellar Pollux trying to stop him in the foreground
Thank you for catching this! After double checking the DT Master Guide, it seems I missed that small detail. For a while now, I've incorrectly assumed Castor was a corrupted Pollux since there was no real "Constellar Castor" card. I knew that Castor and Pollux were brothers in Greek mythology, but assumed Konami was simply interpreting the tale uniquely. So, I didn't double check the matter in advance. I made a pinned comment.
@@Joebob31100 Pollux?
"BROTHER!?!?!"
Q_Q
Im a simple man. I see Gishki, i press like. Gishki is easily in my top 5 favorite archtypes of all time. Im glad the new support made them more playable. Thank you for this video
Talking about the lore has made me want to play the deck, so I'm looking into it. Definitely a classic ritual deck. Thanks for choosing to watch the video!
5:40 Leaving the Icy mountain for the sea keeps the WATER Attribute...
Later Emilia and Avance would become the founders of the Nekroz clan or something like that, right?
yeah they're great sorc and dance princess, shurit is their kid
Yes! I didn't mention that part because I was more focused on Noellia and the Gishki archetype. But Avance grows old and becomes Great Sorc, overseeing the Nekroz. Emilia is a bit more interesting - it's clear she's Dance Princess in the Nekroz archetype, but she doesn't appear to age. Perhaps the ritual Noellia performed altered her soul or something, or maybe she's like part spirit still.
@@pk_tuneworld i think its more that great sorc got older for some reason, as ariel hasn't aged up anywhere near as much. she seems the same amount older as dance princess. granted the nekroz ages are all over the place when they use the armor so who knows if their unarmored forms are their real ages either
Waifu characters aren't allowed to age, simple as that.
10:02 look! it is Evilswarm Exciton Knight/Steelswarm Roach! it is another cool chatacter and a very cool story
I won't lie this is my favorite story in yugioh so far
Finished the video, it was great! Now I understand why the characters in Winds Over the Ice Barrier didn't looked anything like Revealer or Judge. Awsome vid!
I like lore from Yugioh cards, this is such a well sum up video, thank you 😊
Wow. I had no idea that there was lore like this tied to ice barrier.
What about the dragunity’s though?
Dragunity is also apart of duel terminal they come from the dragon ravine located somewhere in the mist valley, they help fight the 3 ice barrier dragons. You can see Ascalon and Trishula fighting in the artwork of Ice Dragon's Prison.
I wish they make a Duel Terminal world in Duel Links since they'd soon run out of anime worlds (already added Sevens)
oh this one’s really good! I didn’t realize there we so many connections, I was checked out for duel terminal stuff.
What I love about dt lore,is how appealing it is for how long and how many characters involved.
Also,my girl mentioned!!
They really managed to build such a comprehensive and dark story with just a bunch of cardboard. I wonder how much of the interconnectivity was planned ahead of time since Duel Terminal 1 is literally just an alien invasion tale.
Your vid is so good! Best narrative. Can you consider to do more Duel Terminal lore😊
Thank you for choosing to watch it! I'm definitely going to do more DT lore, though my next lore video isn't going to be DT. There are some short videos on my channel (not voiceovers) that do cover some smaller bits from DT.
Oof hit me with the kiiroi frame in the first 30 seconds. I wasn’t ready for that.
Damnn.. One of my main deck Gishki, what a amazing lore they have, I keep staring on the cool artstyle of their cards, and knowing more about this videos really amaze me more.
Damn I started playing when the Freezing Chains SD came out on the TCG, needless to say IB is my favourite archetype... didn't knew they had this rich of a history! nice video.
Tormented? She was the Tormentor. She captured, enslaved, and sacrificed the Lavals all for her own ends.
See, this is a good point because I was trying to push the "tormented" narrative based on my interpretation of the Steelswarm's powers (and clickbait, shhhh). The Steelswarm "amplify negative emotions" as the DT guide states. You could interpret this at face value - the demons are able to deepen deviant feelings pre-existent in an individual to the point where they are willing to forgo normal social boundaries. If true, this would mean the Steelswarm would have amplified Noellia's already present prejudice against other tribes (maybe from the tribal conflict prior to the Worm's arrival), convincing her to commit those crimes. Hence your thought of her as a "tormentor" because, in this manner, she was acting in part due to her own ideals.
Yet, I feel as though young Noellia's attempts to stop the Worms + her consoling children from various tribes after the Worms were gone speaks to her naturally good character. Also, when she is freed from the Steelswarm's influence, she immediately goes back on some of her wrongdoing - something that I don't think isn't always easily done if you had deep-seeded prejudices. Hence why I interpreted the "amplify negative emotions" as another way to say the Steelswarm were able to control victims' minds by infiltrating them through negative emotions.
TLDR is that I want to call her "tormented" because I feel she was being controlled to commit crimes she didn't want to as opposed to her being pressured to do so.
Found the Laval
Now a Nekroz sequel would be cool
Though I do want us to finally get that Nekroz trap card that Clausolas mentions (WHERE IS IT???), I feel as though the Duel Terminal story finished so nicely. The tribes of DT3 (Ritual Beast, Nekroz, Tellars, Yang Zing, Gem-Knights), at its conclusion, were able to finally vanquish all the gods that tried to control them and were given the chance to build their own future. If anything, more Nekroz cards would hopefully add on a sort of "epilogue" rather than a full-blown sequel as did the recently printed Ritual Beast cards.
This is amazing!
The best part is we have a high chance of getting an anime after that anniversary animation. Only thing that sucks is the fact it'll most likely be rushed.
Hopefully it isn't rushed though! I think they'll treat some of these stories with the love and care that they were crafted with.
Never knew the Duel Terminal had such a tragic story. Interesting...
Duel terminal is full of tragedies, according to the master guide very few survived the fight with Sophia
Infact it's still not confirmed if the ice barrier tribe still exist when Noellia made the Gishki tribe
Psychelone and Zielgigas are such good cards especially in DL where I have played them a lot, I also like to play 1 noellia skmetimes. Crazy that the lord matches the power a bit
Damn…
I think I really like the Ice Barrier deck now.
Like I was using it all throughout the Wind and Water event but wow.
That story was honestly amazing.
Literally me LOL. At first I was like "this loaner deck looks kinda cool, wonder if it's good". Now you see me making this video + lowkey building Ice Barriers IRL (and maybe Gishki???)
Honestly amazing. I forget that some of these cards have lore
Bro this was insanely cool to watch! I only knew bits and pieces about the Gishki lore, but thanks to you i got a great story
Thanks for choosing to watch it! I was surprised myself how deep the cards went - I was like you before where I only knew bits and pieces about it until actually putting in the time to understand it.
Icejades would like a word
Definitely need to make a video on that archetype, actually such a beautiful (and yes, tormented) set of cards.
Is there proof they fight Sophia? She’s one of my favorite YGO cards so I’m interested
The lore behind YGO’s archetypes are very interesting and enjoyable to listen to!
Oh we’re talking about torment? I can’t even imagine how much torment I put duelists through with my ojamas lmao
The OG zone lock, none of this wannabe Kashtira combo
@@pk_tuneworld haha yessir. Jokes aside. This video is great. Didn’t have a single clue about any of it
love the gishiki, love the nekroz, love this video
good shit also ngl would for noellia
Thanks for choosing to watch and uhhh 🫡
Nuh uh she mine
6:12 neriamanas is the revived ariel nekroz that stuck inside the infernoid canister, ritual beast return is the card where she popped out from the infernoid shell with blue orbs, winda came from green orbs.she is at the moment is in the exact same state as winda and amelia, just walking in the fine line between dead and alive.
her current mentor is rasahalgue, he teach her to combine both swarms power and the mirror to hunt the remaining ilswarms in the planet.
, as we can see from zefra providence, both rasahalgue and sombre returns back to their original form, constellar rasahalgue and gem knight lapis.
I appreciate your comment, but if I recall (correct me if I'm wrong), the Infernoids don't appear until Duel Terminal 3 way after the Evilswarms are vanquished. DT3 is when Winda got trapped in a container (you see this in Nephe Shaddoll Fusion) and likely when Ariel did. We also see Neremanas fighting the Evilswarm (Duel Terminal 2 only) in "Focused Aquamirror" alongside Avance who is supposed to be Great Sorcerer during the Infernoid's time. I'm pretty confident Neremanas is just an upgraded version of Mind Augus - that the corruption of Ariel into Apkallone doesn't happen until much later.
You are right, however, that Constellar Rasalhague likely helped Neremanas + Neremanas uses the powers of the Ice Barrier as seen, again, in Focused Aquamirror.
I would love a full retelling of Duel terminal 1 in video form.
I have had a lot of trouble finding a good telling of the story.
i knew that MD has already covered it but i wanna see World Legacy's animated lore and also it'd be badass if they somehow clash the Orcust's musical opera vs Despian's dramatic theater
Hoping one day we get a video of the shaddolls, ritual beast and whatever was going on in that story
who knew ice barrier lore is connected to that many other archetype yugioh has the chance of becoming one of the best animes if they used the cards lore
need to make a Mist Valley, X-Saber, Flamvell, and Ice Barrier deck now (one of each)
We need an animated duel terminal series. It’s wild that the card lore is more interesting than the series that spawn them.
props for the DeS music
I never understood why archetypes never got an anime. The last few yugioh anime weren't even good. The cgi were even worse.
Tbf it's pretty expensive and likely Konami is led by the same kind of backwards thinking corp you see on the west, so they're really unlikely to see the potential easily
Heck, Konami has kinda buried most of their games
@@christhiancosta1844 Yeah you gotta a GREAT point actually. I just had a flashback to the list of mess ups they made. Who knows they might do another manga. I know they finished one for sky striker (waifu tax).
@@galaxyvulture6649
The Magistus manga started a while ago and it's already 7 chapters in (it is possible that the Magistus story will lead to the beginning of the DT lore, as some card artworks connects the 2 stories together but it's also possible to be just a coincidence)
@@omermohammad1336 Welp I know what I'm reading next. Thank you for telling me this.
I suppose the question would be how long would a show take to make. Pokemon has its issue partly because they rush out games. Yugioh wouldn’t want to invest in a show that is based on old products.
I AM THE NUMBER 1 GISHKI FAN AND I WAS CALLED
you have to do more 🎉🎉🎉
Oh wow, I just noticed that Worm Zero has what can only be described as humanoid corpses mashed into it on top of the Worms. Konami really wanted us to see Legion/Granfaloon in their card game.
Amazing
Was that a Steelswarm just chilling with the two of them at the end there?
Steelswarm Roach is featured in that card art, yes. Though, in contrast to the rest of the archetype, Roach is actually a good guy.
The gist is: a wounded Steelswarm Sentinel contacts a broken Vylon. The interaction would've killed any other Steelswarm, but Sentinel somehow manages to merge with the technology and transforms into Roach. Why he is good is arguable - it could be because of the Vylon's programming or it could be because the Steelswarm as a species preyed on their own kind at certain points (see "Infestation Tool"). Regardless, Roach aids the tribes to stop his own kind, the Evilswarm, Sophia, and more. Exciton and Zefraxciton are later versions of Roach.
@@pk_tuneworld oh that’s cool actually
Is Avance supposed to be dressed like Altair from Assassin's Creed? I know it's not all of them, but some card artist must of thought that when drawing the art for "Winds Over the Ice Barrier".
I wouldn't know unfortunately. It's entirely possible given this archetype came out after the first Assassin's Creed, but it could also just be coincidence.
Small correction:
It wasn't Pollux who sacrificed himself to defeat Psychelone. It was his brother, the other representative of the Gemini constellation, Constellar Castor (a non-existent card, that would later be revived as an Evilswarm).
Yes, a channel to listen to duel terminal stories on? Yes
Man, I really need to read more about Duel Terminal lore. I'm today year old learning about Gishki are connected to Steelswarm🤔
I wonder what Noellia as Revealer of the Ice Barrier's 3rd effect of banishing herself from the graveyard to be one of the discard cost of Ice Barriers.
Is it because of the last part of her story against Zielgigas or was it because of the two Ice Barrier dragons needing a discard for their effects?
Damn, that's a really good theory! My logic is telling me that effect is just there to punch home the importance of the Ice Barrier dragons + Revealer's supposed importance in the tribe. But, it's so cool to speculate it might also be a sort of "foreshadowing" of what eventually happens to Noellia!
Kinda why I like playing Shaddolls so much in the real game.
Revendread should be a literal movie
The Link story would be good though, especially since it has already finished. (World Legacy/Seiibutsu)
Noellia's also indirectly responsible for the third Duel Terminal war, since the Shaddolls were only made possible by by the lswarm virus in Gem Knight Crystal's body mutating further.
As a Gishki player, I never even knew the archetype had a lore to begin with.
I’d like to believe her children go on to create the nekroz archetype
They do! Great Sorcerer is an older Avance, Dance Princess is Emilia, and Shurit is their son. I didn't mention this bit in the video because I was more focused on Noellia's story.
Out of curiosity, how does Evigishki Merrowgeist fit into this? It’s the only Gishki XYZ & it always felt kind of unrelated to the rest.
There’s this weird part of the story where Noellia is essentially MIA and the Gishki join the tribes to combat the Steelswarm + corrupted Vylon (not sure how many of them actually knew Noellia was the one to free the Steelswarm as mentioned in the video). A soldier from every group gets XYZ powers to help the matter (see Lavalval Ignis, Daigusto Phoenix).

Also Noellia my pookie mentioned
That monogatari shutter has to have been caused by Joey Vs Weevil But It's Modern Yu-Gi-Oh.
IT WAS! Even though the shutter was used in that video for Weevil's degenerate antics + (from what I understand) is used in Monogatari for similar reasons, it felt like such a unique way to display information that I wanted to try it.
Great video thanks !
Could someone give the name of the card featuring noelia sacrificing herself to bring back emilia please ?
All the card's names should be in the top right hand corner of the video whenever their art is shown. In this case, The card is card "Aquamirror Cycle".
Watching on the phone, i had my finger on the name ...
Thank you for your answer !
this was a really sad story
There needs to be an anime done on all of the lores.
I've always wondered something when looking at the Duel Terminal lore, Were Wynn and Winda sisters, if so did they ever reuniunit ?
I could be wrong, but I don't believe Wynn is connected to Winda despite their resemblance. Wynn owes to the Charmers which aren't currently linked to the Duel Terminal world. They're in a separate universe.
@@pk_tuneworld technically yes, however given how prevalent interdimensional travel is in Duel monster's lore, it could be possible that Wynn was transported to the world where most of the charmers reside (I'm thinking the world where most Spellcasters reside).
It's never really explained how Wynn got there, but there are I've seen somewhere that states the Wynn and Winda are sisters.
@Sugatara-p7h from what I know about the S-force lore is that those guys are just going around fighting everybody from different dimensions and that some of their members are either corrupt or evil. But also learned that I:p is an info broker that usually sells information to the Evil Twins, which would mean that the S-force, :P, and Evil Twins monsters are in the same world (the girl on you're finished might also be in the same world but I'm not sure). So Wynn might have been transported across dimensions by the mishaps caused by the D.D gate or the gate the S-force use to traverse worlds.
@@nashcifer5666
I think Wynn either somehow lost her path home or left the Gusto tribe willingly (but yeah either most likely the sisters never met eachother again)
With the most recent reveal of Nocturne, can you do a lore of Zayn Malik video
MORE GISHKI SUPPORT
Wasn’t Gishki Ariel the only true survivor of the Gishki archetype and actually performed the Gishki ritual correctly? As Neremanas was the only EviGishki that wasn’t a mutated amalgam of a monster but ariel riding atop of the whale, she was able to defeat Evilswarm Ouroboros
Avance survives and becomes Great Sorcerer of the Nekroz; Emilia does too (in a sense) and becomes Dance Princess. Their son should be Shurit.
....Meanwhile Lancea just pooped out of nowhere. Unleashed by the unseen entities of Kohn-aami.
I believe I saw a daimax reference
Also, I’m super glad I can motivate you to make these videos. I love the lore behind the cards and people like you fill me into a story that I have longed for. Thanks Tune for everything.
I do mean it, by the way. Like, you don't need to donate to my Patreon as I say whenever I bring the platform up in videos. Even though it's only a dollar, it's not like you necessarily gain a ton out of it. So the fact you were willing to leave something tells me that my content is genuinely worth the time and that I should definitely make more. I'm thankful you have that much faith in me and definitely will be doing more lore videos :D
I bet Obelisk the Tormentor rolled up to them and said: "IT'S TORMENTIN TIME!"
Suffering in lore and after one hand trap. What a life
TRUE
Oo a race of demon chemical warfare sacrificing family sounds cool and all but are they dragons that rule over dimension if only arc-v had a better studio and wasn’t rushed it could’ve been peak still won’t stop me from loving the dragons also I have one heck of an imagination going off the cars art and your narration I can picture the scenes in my head I just need the voices and I can play an episode in my head of this imagination for the W
If by any measure of her legacy be considered good, is that she would ultimately end up with a grandson that seemed heroic, and noble.
Noellia treated the Geneva convention as a checklist.
i do wanna see a mention of the shaddoll lore because even if el shaddoll winda is "evil" or "corrupted" i am legally married to her as the dice have told and the only regret i have is that we were enslaved by evil vampire space nerds
for context a server im in did a small game where we got random archetypes and had to choose a monster to smooch, then we rolled a d20 to get the result. my archetypes were shaddoll and subterror, first roll was winda, which was a 20, and everyone agreed that meant marriage
everyone else died by the end, except for the guy who got vampire and kozmo who ended up conquering the universe
Gishki Emilia being a Spirit Monster was based on lore? 😔
Supposedly! Least, that's my interpretation of it.
@@pk_tuneworld
Didn't the master guide already confirm that?
Emmm .. do you know gem knights?
Wait so is Lswarm roach a good guy?
Yes! Theres a short video on him on my channel. But, TLDR: one of the Steelswarms end up defecting and helping out the tribes. He becomes Roach > Exciton Knight > Zefraxciton and is honestly a really cool character for DT 2 and 3.
So it's 3 or 4 ARC?
Worm, Steelswarm, zebra...?
Duel Terminal 1's storyline covers the Worm invasion and the Fabled Invasion. Duel Terminal 2 covers the Steelswarm re-emergence, the Evilswarm infestation, and the rise and fall of Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth. Duel Terminal 3 is Shaddoll, Infernoids, etcetera.
I would prefer if yugioh anime stopped being about the card game and focused on the lore, there’s so much of it sitting there it’s such a waste
Though I really want a lore-focused show, I feel like there's a massive benefit in having an anime tied to the game itself. The lore definitely gets you hooked on how cool specific archetypes are, but I feel like you're able to appreciate them more when you're already invested in Yugioh. Shows directly tied to the game are a nice way to flaunt how cool duels can be and inspire new players to give things a shot.
Definitely only an opinion though - since we don't have an actual lore anime yet, it's hard to anticipate how many people that type of media might bring in statistically.
man why don’t they give vylons some support?
There is a manga right?
Unfortunately no :(
You'd have to search online for translations of the Japanese Duel Terminal Guide. It tells the story but doesn't have illustrated panels that detail the matter like manga/ comic books.
So this is actual lore of the cards or whats up?
3:03 XD
….and then Nekroz happened.
Indeed! I didn't mention them because I was focused solely on Noellia and the Gishki tribe, but it is true that Avance and Emilia would go on to create the Nekroz tribe that appears in Duel Terminal 3.
Where are the nekroz in the timeline?
I didn't include them in this video because I was focused mainly on Noellia's story + the Gishki's story. The Nekroz, however, occur several years after the events of this video. Great Sorcerer is an older Avance, Dance Princess is Emilia, and Shurit is the son of the two.
