i'm pretty sure it's still the only one to have ever had that. Also, it's yet another reason to hate the 4kids dub. They cut out the song AND butchered/cut the first summon for no reason. Wasn't the case in the german dub thankfully
He absolutely phoned this one in, chat was brainstorming during the entire saga react and couldn't come up with a single idea better than "steal chaoticmeatball's question"
Ahh, i watched back the vod for this stream and realized you forgot my "What monsters could be dual-type in the Yugioh TCG" idea I had for a Twitter thread. Maybe next week!
This is unironiclly one of my favorite series you do. Seeing your responses and insights to various opinions is always entertaining week to week because of your vast amount of knowledge about the game.
Looked back into Homestar Runner recently due to playing a bunch of Poker Night at the Inventory (ironically enough to ween me off of playing Master Duel). Then I looked up and saw Stinkoman 20X6 had its long-awaited level 10 finally added back in 2020. Shit's cosmic yo.
I love synchros so much, easily my favorite summoning mechanic! Crystal Wing, Psychic End Punisher, Stardust Dragon, Charge Warrior, Trishula, etc. Just amazing cards!
was gonna post Despian Luluawalilith and I had three reasons: - The lore (Fleurdelis, who meets a very uncertain fate in the art of Branded in Central Dogmatika, wakes up out of pure willpower, takes over Despian Quaeritis, and kills the fully-mutated-into-a-dragon Maximus, then promptly falls back into a coma.) - The artwork (again, it's Fleurdelis wearing Quaeritis as armor) - MBT once made a joke that the ultimate Branded card would be a Synchro Monster.
My favourite Synchro is Goyo Guardian but only because I have a very fond memory with it. Regionals, Im 2-0 so far, not a single loss and feeling good but the pressure is rising, competition is getting tougher. I sit down to my third match up and I roll to go first. I do my plays, good opening and I end with Goyo Guardian on the field and 2 backrow protection..nice! Upon seeing the Goyo Guardian I notice my opponents face drop and he gives me a piercing stare but I ignore it. He is playing Zombies and Goyo is a nightmare for him. He manages to remove Goyo with a Dark Hole and get some small play but on my next turn I revive Goyo, and this is where the fond memory comes from....my opponent just looses is and yells..'that fucking monster should be banned for eternity' before promptly getting up and walking away muttering to himself. Everyone around us just burst into laughter, it was amazing.
That power tool dragon at the end is in similar condition as the dark magician I’ve had since I was little. And I got to say my favorite synchro monster is junk warrior, he’s just a cool lookin’ guy.
My favorite's probably F.A. Dawn Dragster, and not even necessarily for it's negate. You never realize how much of a psychopath you might be until you enjoy the fear in an opponent's eye when you OTK them with it, Vylon Cube, and United We Stand.
@@eugenideddisI haven't played Yugioh for like 6 months at least so I actually had to look up for a moment what you meant. I forgot it actually had piercing damage! XD
It was mentioned in the video, but I have to include my story regarding it. My all-time favorite Synchro Monster is none other than Black Rose Dragon. Ever since I first saw it in the anime, I was absolutely floored by how beautiful it was, and its effect was busted as all hell. Ever since then, I've used it in nearly every deck I've had that could use Synchros. There's also a much more sentimental story here. Growing up, my mom actually supported my collection, and she was always a fan of roses in general, so I decided to show her Black Rose when I got a hold of my first copy. She even saw it as a beautiful card. Unfortunately, though, she passed away in December of 2020 (thankfully not Covid), and I still grieve her passing to this day. However, about a year later, I happened to show my fiancee this deck I had found online that was a somewhat expensive Black Rose deck, and they actually bought the deck for me for that Christmas. It wasn't a great deck, admittedly, but I was happy to have a deck based around Rose Dragons. Now, my Rose Dragon deck is probably the most competitive deck I have, and when I play the deck, I play it in memory of my mom, too. It's almost like having a little piece of her in my deck. I run 2 Black Rose in the deck; 1 Quarter Century Rare, one El Dorado alternate art version.
Wait no one picked Baronne De Fleur? I get she’s THE generic synchro but she looks dope, is large ATK wise for beating over stuff, and has awesome effects. Also the nickel bit is just chefs kiss from Dire.
Junk Warrior is by far my favorite monster card, not just synchros. He's the poster boy for the synchro mechanic in just about every way. Genuinely the most quintessential synchro of all time
Got to give it to my original Synchro Boss, Hi-Speedroid Chanbara. Made OTKing with True King Dinos before Cyberstorm Access easy to do. Plus, it made getting a Jurrac Aeolo worth it back then. Haven’t used it in ages, but I still have a lot of fond memories of it from my early days of playing.
Of all synchros I’ve played, which is admittedly not many, I don’t think there’s one with a bigger place in my heart than Battlewasp Ballista the Armageddon. On name alone he gets major points, but there’s also the fact he’s a level 12 synchro who’s only purpose is to be a beat stick. Unless 3500 is all that stands between you and game, there’s never a reason to summon him and I love him for that.
My favorite is Geomathmech Final Sigma. I started playing Mathmech on Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution and Final Sigma allowed me to clear the entirety of the challenge duels in an afternoon. Between it being a towers, using mathmech multiplication to make it a 6k beater and mathmech billion blade to regularly send something like division to absolutely merc them on their attacks
Theres no way theres been 100 of these. The passage of time makes me feel that my existence is fleeting and my impact of the world around me is minimal. I hate this. I love you. I love yugioh.
Ghoti of the deep beyond and final sigma, it's wild I been playing the game since it's TCG release and these two are the first syncro monsters that made me want to actually play a syncro deck and not just because it's what is needed at the time.
I have two: one serious, one jokey. The serious one is Vulcan the Divine. Such awesome card artwork, and a somewhat useful effect, to boot. The joking one is Thor, Lord of the Aesir, if only because as a furry I have to chuckle at the concept of a Beast-Warrior named Thor whose primary way of summoning himself is with a horse. If you know, you're lying to yourself about knowing, and if you don't know... hats off to you for being ignorant.
@@otterfire4712I'm a historian and a Nordic Runick enjoyer, I can confirm loki was a furry. The kind that turns himself into and actual animal, Fucks arounds, and then finds out himself 9 mouths later : )
My favorite Synchros have to be Flower Cardian Lightflare and Hundred Eyes Dragon. Having played a ton of Flower Cardian and Infernity, both archetypes being near and dear to my heart, I can’t help loving both of their boss monsters. Also, seeing Hundred Eyes summoned in the anime was such an impactful moment. Honorable mention to Ursarctic Septentrion because I love the design and the archetype as a whole, including the mechanic.
7:35 Man. Seeing such a beat up card makes me feel nostalgic. Back when we didn’t know how expensive a card was. Playing Yu-gi-oh at the lunch table or the blacktop. That really is one love piece of card board
Honestly the more beating up a card is the more likely he used it as a kid because it shows that you were definitely slamming that on the table or sliding it around or carrying it in your pocket with the rest of your dick in rubber bands. Honesty I truly amazing childhood joy
Arcanite Magician. Playing this, Assault Mode and Supreme in Duel Links for so long felt so good. The Necro Fusion into Quintet after the board wipe felt even better.
my favorite thing about the first #Synchro monster ever seen in the anime, the iconic #JunkWarrior, is that for the first several episodes there was no way to tell it wasn't just a #ContactFusion between Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior because Speed Warrior is just glued to Yusei's starting hand
Chaos Ruler is the GOAT. Mill 4/5 cards? Yes. Add a card to the hand? (often a extender or a handtrap), Yes. Revive on the same turn for no reason? Yes. Trigger a Thunder Dragon in the graveyard (or hand) while it revives? YES. While is completely understandable why it got banned, is the most fun card I have ever played. Close second is Psychic End Punisher, extremely easy to make in P.U.N.K. and often wins the game by itself.
Chaos Angel not needing Tuners at all and popping out spot Banishes every time it gets summoned does it for me. Synchro Summon? Spot banish. Outed and brought back? Spot banish. Zealantis loop? Spot banish. Yeah you're almost never going to spam it like that since that turns off your protections, but just knowing that you can if you need to is enough.
Junk Warrior is my favorite synchro. I was an actual child when 5ds came out and he was always my favorite card. I remember being excited when I finally got him and threw him into my 500 card pile I would use on the playground.
...so look... I KNOW it's not that great... But Scraps was my first deck in Master Duel... and Scrap Twin Dragon will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.
HOW DARE U DISRESPECT MY PREMIUM GOLD RARE TRISHULA!!!! But for real now, the duel terminal rarity trishula is the best rarity that thrishula ever received.
Mine would definitely have to be AFD, not for any of the FTK/wombo combo reasons, but because it made F.A. so much more playable. That shit was my Table 500 jam back in the day. Haven't tried it out with errata'd AFD, mainly because I don't play anymore due to the one+two punch of basically zero support at any of my local gamestores and disillusionment with the speed (and price) of the modern game. I mostly play MTG these days, primarily limited and getting my shit rocked by tryhards with too much money each commander night, but still follow you and a few other YGO channels because YGO has become just such an infinitely entertaining train wreck to watch continuously hurtle toward destruction.
I can't belive no one metion GOATyo guardian, literally the only synchro i had that i could consistently use, whats that? You got a stardust dragon? YOINK MINE NOW!!
I tried to find a better one than Stardust in my heart. I couldn't. Maybe Black Rose, but that's more a love of Aki. Edit: actually, unironically it miybe junk warrior. I remember being so sad that Yusei's Deck became almost all about stardust after he got it back instead if the syncro warriors i loved.
Well it isn't the Twitter thread, but I still want to pitch in with sayin my favourite Synchro Monster is Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, I just love it visually and it's effect while certainly showing it's age, is still pretty decent Second favourite is Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, I just mention that because I think he's neat
Suggestion idea for twitter thread since we're kinda in tier 0 snake eyes format. The deck, card or strategy ppl played during any tier 0 format that are used solely to counter the best deck.
Correct take on cards that look like they've been through hell. The older I get, the more I want to play cards unsleeved with a rubber band keeping the deck together inside a Ziploc bag.
Gem-knights may be my favorite archetype but Synchro monsters have been my favorite monster type ever since I first saw Junk Warrior scrap fisting Yusei’s enemies.
I've always been in love with infernobles, one of the decks that brought me back into yugioh, alongside Magical Musketeers and Phantom Knights, so my boy Charles it is
So I have no real childhood connection to this card, but Hama the conquering bow is a synchro card I’ve always just really liked. It’s got a dope design, a really neat effect, and I love having it as a gimmicky option in my beetrooper deck since the battlewasps and dragonbite work really well with them. Idk Hama’s just that one synchro I’ve always liked.
My favorite Synchro Monster is Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Personally, I think it has one of the best card artworks in the entire game, plus it's one of Jack Atlas's cards, and he's my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! character of all time. Honorable mention to Junk Destroyer, because the starter deck it came from was one I picked up and played casually back in the day when I initially got back into the game. I would love to see an upgraded version of Junk Destroyer in the modern game.
Any Yugioh 101 UA-camr only has 1 answer: TRISH CENA!!!! But my actual answer to this is Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. Crossed Souls was the first set I actually wanted to open cuz of this monster
Hi-speedroid clear wing rider. Its funny how the big board clear and damage push is just a remote control toy bike. It feels funny to see someone in shock seeing it and be like "DA FUCK THIS IS A LV11 WITH THAT GOOD OF AN EFFECT?!"
Easily Clear Wing and all his associated monsters Yes, even the motorcycle Great art Gain attack from negating is a cool effect Did I also mention the sick ass art?
I didn’t catch this one, but I gotta give it up to my buddy Ally of Justice Light Gazer. Objectively one of the worst Synchro Monsters ever printed, but it was also my first Synchro monster from the first pack I ever pulled, and it holds a special place in my heart for that alone
This is such a hard question with so many of my favorite archetypes being synchro-centric (Mannadium, Speedroids, and PUNKs specifically). I’d have to give that number one spot to High-Speedroid Clear Wing Rider. It’s honestly so fun to climb into it off of 1 Terrortop and nuke an opponent’s board with a freaking bike. Number 2 is probably Chaos Ruler. It’s just so cool looking! Honorable mentions to Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Dragite, Magikey Beast Transfurlmine, Junk Speeder, PEP, Cosmic Blazar Dragon, and the PUNK synchros for being really awesome as well.
God I love Clear Wing Rider. I love all the Speedroids really, they're my favorite archetype and I make no bones about it, but the dragon bike is probably my favorite of them. (Not counting the Synchro Dragons themselves of course!)

Shooting Star Dragon has its own dedicated soundtrack, completely sold it to the 13 year old me back and still is
SO TRUE
Any character with a fucking Masaaki Endoh insert song deserves a hall of fame consideration.
Clear mind!
i'm pretty sure it's still the only one to have ever had that. Also, it's yet another reason to hate the 4kids dub. They cut out the song AND butchered/cut the first summon for no reason. Wasn't the case in the german dub thankfully
That Powertool has the same energy as that fucked up but happy looking Garfield plushie. To be loved is to be changed indeed.

I cannot believe the SBEmail thread at the beginning. Unlocked a core memory
Looked back into Homestar Runner recently due to playing a bunch of Poker Night at the Inventory (ironically enough to ween me off of playing Master Duel). Then I looked up and saw Stinkoman 20X6 had its long-awaited level 10 finally added back in 2020.

I am wasting away to nothing realizing that it is entirely possible that is a reference too old for many of the younger viewers to recognize.
I love synchros so much, easily my favorite summoning mechanic! Crystal Wing, Psychic End Punisher, Stardust Dragon, Charge Warrior, Trishula, etc. Just amazing cards!
was gonna post Despian Luluawalilith and I had three reasons:
- The lore (Fleurdelis, who meets a very uncertain fate in the art of Branded in Central Dogmatika, wakes up out of pure willpower, takes over Despian Quaeritis, and kills the fully-mutated-into-a-dragon Maximus, then promptly falls back into a coma.)
- The artwork (again, it's Fleurdelis wearing Quaeritis as armor)
- MBT once made a joke that the ultimate Branded card would be a Synchro Monster.
Also kind of good in Swordsoul.
and most importantly: Luluwalilith is really fun to say

Genex Ally Triforce is my Favorite Synchro Monster. Don't care if the deck barely summoned it, I love that card
Triforce is easily one of my favourite card arts in all of YuGiOh, along with his brother Triarm of course.
That power tool dragon at the end is in similar condition as the dark magician I’ve had since I was little. And I got to say my favorite synchro monster is junk warrior, he’s just a cool lookin’ guy.

Stardust dragon being synchro summoned in the anime just had so much weight to it.
No one mentioned the true goat. "Star Eater" my original boss monster from duel links and now my favorite meme card in master duel. Feels good : )
Jurrac Meteor... It's not *good* but I think it's hilarious that the big boss monster shows up, blows up and leaves!

EXACTLY
Junk Warrior is my favorite synchro. I was an actual child when 5ds came out and he was always my favorite card. I remember being excited when I finally got him and threw him into my 500 card pile I would use on the playground.
My favorite synchro: Hi-Speedroid Cork Shooter; i love how it gives the deck the ability to go into almost any wind synchro.
As a Speedroid nut, Cork Shooter is easily my favorite synchro tuner!
...so look...
I KNOW it's not that great...
But Scraps was my first deck in Master Duel...
and Scrap Twin Dragon will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.

I tried to find a better one than Stardust in my heart. I couldn't. Maybe Black Rose, but that's more a love of Aki.

Superheavy Samurai
STEAM TRAIN KING, BABY!!!!
HEAVY STRONG STYLE!!!!
Gotta be Masterflare Hyperion for me; copying any Agent effect is based af.
The banish in response to activation is just the cherry on top.
Synchro Ib.
She's the epitome of the storytelling of the World Legacy storyline, and deserved her happy-ish ending.
Holy shit I'm early for a Twitter Thread
I'd have to go with Ursarctic Serpentrion
He may be part of a terrible archetype but goddamn is he just cool as hell aesthetically.
Suggestion idea for twitter thread since we're kinda in tier 0 snake eyes format.
The deck, card or strategy ppl played during any tier 0 format that are used solely to counter the best deck.
I'm not active on Twitter, but it's FAM. "Unaffected by other card effects" is my favorite monster effect.
Ruddy Rose Dragon
Ghoti of the Deep Beyond lowkey might replace that, though
Correct take on cards that look like they've been through hell. The older I get, the more I want to play cards unsleeved with a rubber band keeping the deck together inside a Ziploc bag.
I've clutched too many games with black rose dragon to say any other synchro lol. Hard carried my lightsworn deck
gotta agree with the blackrose dragon person. i loved all the rose dragon cards. really wish they were more of an actual deck. best signer dragon!
Number 100 huh. Surprised this topic took this long. Anyway my personal favourite is Red Nova Dragon (really all the RDA cards)
SWORDSOUL
SUPREME
SOVEREIGN
CHENGYING
some decks I've even board out baronne to play him.
My favorites just og Trishula, like the actual original copy from Hidden Arsenal 4.
Fortune Lady Every was the best Lightsworn monster I played in Grass Witchcrafter.
Gem-knights may be my favorite archetype but Synchro monsters have been my favorite monster type ever since I first saw Junk Warrior scrap fisting Yusei’s enemies.
I just put Brionic in my melffy synchro deck. I love that thing
Dire is so real for putting Xenoblade Chronicles music in the background. I see you, and you're valid as fuck.
The poster child of my favorite Deck: Scrap Dragon!
I've always been in love with infernobles, one of the decks that brought me back into yugioh, alongside Magical Musketeers and Phantom Knights, so my boy Charles it is
Now we just gotta wait for the 200th Twitter thread for the next summon mechanic in no particular order!
If Twitter is even around that long...
So I have no real childhood connection to this card, but Hama the conquering bow is a synchro card I’ve always just really liked. It’s got a dope design, a really neat effect, and I love having it as a gimmicky option in my beetrooper deck since the battlewasps and dragonbite work really well with them. Idk Hama’s just that one synchro I’ve always liked.
Hundred eye dragon
Edit: to loop infernity mirage ( :
wait hes not supposed to say mbt wheres the cartoon intro
Shoutout to Penguin Brave and Red Supernova Dragon. I have no idea how to connect those two but they're rad
Didn't dire get famous because of the twitter threads
My favorite Synchro Monster is Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Personally, I think it has one of the best card artworks in the entire game, plus it's one of Jack Atlas's cards, and he's my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! character of all time.
Honorable mention to Junk Destroyer, because the starter deck it came from was one I picked up and played casually back in the day when I initially got back into the game. I would love to see an upgraded version of Junk Destroyer in the modern game.
Any Yugioh 101 UA-camr only has 1 answer: TRISH CENA!!!!
But my actual answer to this is Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. Crossed Souls was the first set I actually wanted to open cuz of this monster
Based Clear Wing enjoyer
Hi-speedroid clear wing rider. Its funny how the big board clear and damage push is just a remote control toy bike. It feels funny to see someone in shock seeing it and be like "DA FUCK THIS IS A LV11 WITH THAT GOOD OF AN EFFECT?!"
Clear Wing Rider is one of the best cards ever made don't @ me
AFD
When support Konami?
MBT doing a Homestar Runner reference made me stop hating his opinions
That powertool dragon is living the retirement life, godspeed my favorite synchro machine.
If we ever get to favorite XYZ I hope someone mentions Magician of Hope in my stead. I won't make an X(formerly known as Twitter) for it.
I'd gladly give a shoutout! It's one of my favorites too
Easily Clear Wing and all his associated monsters
Yes, even the motorcycle
Great art
Gain attack from negating is a cool effect
Did I also mention the sick ass art?
Clear Wing is my favorite synchro monster, and I love everything associated with it!
I didn’t catch this one, but I gotta give it up to my buddy Ally of Justice Light Gazer. Objectively one of the worst Synchro Monsters ever printed, but it was also my first Synchro monster from the first pack I ever pulled, and it holds a special place in my heart for that alone
This is such a hard question with so many of my favorite archetypes being synchro-centric (Mannadium, Speedroids, and PUNKs specifically). I’d have to give that number one spot to High-Speedroid Clear Wing Rider. It’s honestly so fun to climb into it off of 1 Terrortop and nuke an opponent’s board with a freaking bike. Number 2 is probably Chaos Ruler. It’s just so cool looking!
Honorable mentions to Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Dragite, Magikey Beast Transfurlmine, Junk Speeder, PEP, Cosmic Blazar Dragon, and the PUNK synchros for being really awesome as well.
God I love Clear Wing Rider. I love all the Speedroids really, they're my favorite archetype and I make no bones about it, but the dragon bike is probably my favorite of them. (Not counting the Synchro Dragons themselves of course!)
Mine is still scarlet red dragon and Trisha
I wonder if anyone else loves Hundred-Eyes Dragon because of Kalin vs Yusei as much as I do
I love that card partially because of that duel, partially just because it's a wonderfully gnarly design. Good taste!
OUT OF IDEAS! OUT OF IDEAS! OUT OF IDEAS!
Power Tool Dragon, all the way
Mine's gotta be AFD.
