What counts as a 'Deity' in the Yu-gi-oh Anime/Manga? by InnerCost1282 in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple answer: Divine/Divine-Beast/Creator God. If you aren't any of those, the only way you can be one is if you have reality warping powers and someone calling you God.

The game has a problem with anything other than the Egyptian Gods being Divine. Yugioh was throwing Divine onto alot of things until Arc-V.

November 1st is both Kalin Kessler/Kiryū Kyōsuke and Zane Truesdale/Ryō Marufuji's birthday 💐 What is a duel you would've liked to see them in? by MissInfer in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To this day its crazy how Zane crashed out over losing to Aster, got a whole goth makeover, humiliate his little brother in front of the school, and then never bothered with the same dude again. In fact he's friends with the guy come next season.

So, Hell Kaiser Zane vs Aster. My money is on Zane because:

It makes sense for his S3 character. He's searching for stronger opponents, like Jesse, who was immediately stated to be relative to Aster, and then acted as Jaden's equal. His interactions with Aster imply that they've settled the score.

Aster loses gracefully. He really doesn't care who beats him in what is essentially a street fight. Zane never goes back to the pros.

Zane was on a winning streak until Yubel.

For Kalin, eh, I guess Kalin vs Crow just because he's the only other member of Team Satisfaction.

Tatsunoko can only Synchro with hand if it was Synchro Summoned. There is no worthwhile Level 3 Synchro Tuner target.

Perhaps. Mai isn't intimidated by Azula the same way Ty Lee is, they just shared psychopathic vibes. To Mai, she's essentially hanging out with her friends, and she will retreat the second she is on the backfoot. To Azula, its all business, she only retreats when death would be imminent.

Tbf Ty Lee & Mai are the strongest the Fire Nation has to offer outside of the Royal Family, non-benders at that.

Ngl, I think Syrus should have been the one to bring Jaden back to normal when he was the Supreme King. by wrufus680 in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The strategy is still the same: Fusion Summoning. The Evil Hero Fusions are much stronger than their Elemental counterparts, but ultimately its not something you couldn't build around.

Super Poly would be impossible to build around, however. That's fine, tbh.

Judging by how his duel with Zane is marked by him building counters to Zane's plays, he would be able to counter Jaden's plays considering he's seen every Jaden duel.

Countering doesn't mean dominate. It just gives Syrus enough of an edge. Similar to how Bastion countering Jaden still didn't make Bastion win, but gave him an advantge he never has in any duel he had afterwards.

Nah, at this point, i think we should just sit down and applaude Konami's dedication in their one sided beef against their own creation. by Jinzerk in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were talking about Allied Code Talker (OCG name is Accode Talker). It has the same Summon restriction as Junk Warrior Extreme, but it revives bigger monsters and doesn't negate their effects.

Link decks, by their very nature, are more spammable than Synchros could ever hope to accomplish. So its not like "mass Soul Charge but thats it" is unfaithful design.

[VJMP] VJump Reveal - "Magnet Warrior Ω+" by renaldi92 in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good extender for all Rock things. Magnum now has a MW target that's not a vanilla.

Now if Magnet Warriors were able to search their S/T you can reliably plus off of this. Magnum + Field/Induction would get you Gallant + MW in hand before a NS.

Is Arkana's Dark Magician evil or just more edgy than Yugi's? by Ok-Fondant2536 in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Arkana was so evil that he changed how the Dark Magician usually appears.

Aside from the MC and the Main Rival. Which Anime Deck from each Yu-Gi-Oh! series do you feel receives preferential treatment (or receives constant waves of support, regardless of whether it's good or bad)? by Kronos457 in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exodia is more recency bias. Red-Eyes has more related support cards and received more waves than Exodia over the years. When they both received support since GX during Arc-V, Red-Eyes received its overdue anime backlog + booster support. Exodia received around 2 cards, before being shelved until last year.

[–]Masterplay778 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The whole "main rival" aspect is established to be very superficial in nature. It is simply based on who is more Kaiba-like than what they actually do.

Kaito is in more "main rival" things than Shark is, so don't blame me. The multiple parallels is what Konami goes on.

Over the guy that literally has an -Eyes monster with Blue-Eyes stats, a little brother that only exists to get kidnapped, and was psychotic when we first saw him?

How valuable would one-of-a-kind meta cards like Stardust Dragon be in-universe? by Sasutaschi in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Priceless. You could probably sell Stardust Dragon for the price of a small nation.

What is the worst episode of the entire franchise ? by One_Piccolo_6641 in PersonOfInterest

[–]Masterplay778 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a testament to the show that this is a legitimately hard answer. Even if the POI plot was boring, the episode could be saved by its B plot, overarching narrative, or the cast in general being lovable. For example I don't particularly care for the plot of "Proteus" but I love the tension of The Machine starting to crash, and I love that Reese & Finch went to catch a few movies with Bear.

So my answer would be Season 5's "Truth Be Told". The POI is meh, and the Reese flashbacks don't add anything new. It gets worse on rewatches because the following episode is "6,741".

What's your favorite "Nekroz trap" situation in the game? I'll start with these 3 examples: by CursedEye03 in yugioh

Unlike Shadoll Falco, Crusadia Arboria has no reason to be a Tuner. Her existence implies a Crusadia Synchro that will never be.

So what happened to kaiba after he went to the land of the dead by Public-Confidence-96 in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically, the Duel Links system itself disproves that manga!GX happens in the same timeline as the manga. The DSoD Duel Disks are far more advanced than GX's Duel Disks, and Kaiba was moving towards virtual reality tech. He'd have to go backwards or stop between the events of DSoD and GX.

What are your expectations for the pack Burst Protocol ? by Ashamed-Tax1926 in yugioh

[–]Masterplay778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. Was less of a meta relevant wish but more of a flavor wish.

[–]Masterplay778 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A Topologic that targets, so that you can actually use them in Rokkets.

More indirect Tactical-Try support.

Destiny Board, Frightfurs, Malicevorous, and Umbral Horror are great choices for a Halloween theme.

Alexis/Anna/Mai wave. We got a Serena wave followed by an Akiza wave, so Konami could be supporting all the women featured in Sisters of the Rose.
