    If Yu-Gi-Oh has taught us anything is that dark doesn’t necessarily mean “evil.” Light, however, that’s something you’ve got to watch out for, especially if it has a notebook.

    ACTUALLY Evilswam Exciton Knight was actually "evil in name only" and was actually an heroic version of Steelswarm Roach according to Duel Terminal Lore and the artwork of "Sacred Serpent's Wake".
    It even has an "even more heroic" counterpart in "Stellarknight Zefraxcition"

      Everyone so far is wrong. It's Nizzahon Magic. Why? Nizzahon does Top 10 lists for Magic: The Gathering that are based primarily on the competitive performance of the cards on the "Best _____ Cards" lists and a mix of feels and how little they see play in the super casual Commander Format for the "Worst _____ Cards" lists.
      This is in stark comparison to Duel Logs who's "Best _______ Cards" lists seem to take flavour and feels into account half the time, and the "Worst ______ Cards" lists seem to be based primarily on how objectively terrible and unplayable a card is.
      Then again, saying a card in a TCG is objectively good or objectively bad is nigh on impossible, since there's sometimes gonna be this one weird meta that springs into existence where a card that, say, makes you discard your entire hand can be a good sideboard choice. (Yes, that really happened in MtG once. The card was called One with Nothing and no. It didn't do anything other than make you discard your hand, and yes, there was a deck that made it a viable sideboard tech choice.)

      As a fan of dual terminal, this is surprising me a lot. At what point would the corruption have happened? I dont think they were alive at the same time so that checks out. Didn't the infernoids only appear until after the shadolls appeared? Wasn't el shadoll construct made with shadoll core?

    Lore-wise, Exciton Knight is actually a good guy that switched sides, as seen in Sacred Serpent's Wake. I think he's just an evilswarm bc the evilswarm monsters are the evolution of steelswarms. He ends up ascending later on and becomes Satellarknight Zefraxciton. It all goes a lot further than that, but if I start reading out all of the duel terminal lore, we'll be here all day
    Just know that steelswarms, evilswarms, cairngorgon, and shaddolls are all part of the same storyline and basically keep evoloving from each other in one way or another, hence why the good guy that betrayed the steelswarm is an "evilswarm"

    Exciton knight is actually a good guy in the duel terminal lore. It just happens to be in the "Evilswarm" archtype. another monster that also has the same traits is Evilswarm Kerykeion, though in the case of Kerykeion it became an Evilswarm because it absorbed the power of the corrupted Ice Barrier dragons while Exciton Knight started as Steelswarm Sentinel but is later "redeemed" or something. that's why Exciton Knight and Kerykeion don't have 50 in their atk points(though in Kerykeion's case it's to mirror Constellar Sombre).

    Fun fact Log, Exicton Knight is the counterpart to that Steelswarm Knight because Exicton was a purified revival of the latter, along side others for the... Zefra archetype? I think?
    The Duel Terminal lore was that it was a combined effort of all in the Zefra to put a stop to the world from burning into nothing by another archetype that continued to use Lapis’ soul. I can’t remember that last archetype’s name, but after they were defeated, so finally ended the Duel Terminal’s history.

    I had a few funny Yugioh shower thoughts even though I haven't played since early GX era. I blame your videos, so I'm gonna share them here.
    Funny things to do at a Yugioh tournament:
    1. Play vanilla monsters like their flavor text is actually an effect. For example, Flying Fish can instantly win the duel if you summon it because it grants three wishes and you can just wish to win the duel.
    2. Dress up as Yugi, Kaiba, etc. and play an appropriate deck.
    3. Use miniatures to represent your monsters and throw them at your opponent when you attack directly.
    4. While looking for examples for 3, I discovered a rather sizable Exodia toy that has a spring loaded fireball launcher. So like, play an Exodia deck and shoot the fireball at your opponent when you get all five pieces. Also, you have to shout "EXODIA! OBLITERATE!"
    5. When you sit down for your first match, just pull out a totally different card game.
    6. Dye your hair green, carry a stack of $20s, and blatantly break rules. When called out, say "Screw the rules! I have money!" and show off your $20s or say "Screw the rules! I have green hair!"

    About the lore behind why Lapis can become Construct, I’ll give a very brief summary of what happened, because this story is very long and involved many different archetypes. This is called Duel Terminal story.
    - Sophia and Tierra are 2 gods. Sophia beat Tiera and sealed it into the Tree of Life by using a “core”. This core was then broken into 10 pieces, which became the pyroxene of the Gem Knights.
    - During a war, many Gem Knights were slained, including Master Diamond and Lapis. Somehow, Master Diamond, with other Gem Knights, were reborned info Caingorgon the Antiluminescent Knight. It captured Evilswarm Kerykeion, use his power and became Shaddoll Core. Shaddoll Core then revive many species that were fallen in the previous war, and turned them into the Shaddoll.
    There isn’t a real reason why Lapis could become as massive as Construct, but it may due to the fact that Lapis is a Gem Knight that holds a core requires to release Tierra. So Tierra gave it a huge power to help with that goal.

    • @agitpolat1061
      @agitpolat1061 3 роки тому +1

      To give the reason as to "why Lapis", because Constellar Sombre exists. Sombre not only holds a piece of Sophia's Energy of Rebirth, but is also, at its Core, just Gem-Knight Lazuli. Lapis, being Lazuli's "Mirror-Image" inherently kind of reflects (no pun intended) that Level of Power, so the Shaddolls just had quite a lot of Energy to work with from the get-go. It even comes into play again later in the Storyline as to how Tierra finally revives itself
