Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Cards Based on Konami Video Games
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- With Konami being the company behind many video games and the distribution of Yu-Gi-Oh, there tends to be some crossover, all intentional. Konami loves to add our favorite characters and ships from iconic video games into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh. Sometimes it’s an archetype, and other times it’s a one-off reference with an average effect. Either way, we want to look at the most iconic of these Konami game references. Sometimes, the reference is more than meets the eye. Judgment Meter and A.T. from Software Agents TV joins me for this one. Footage provided by Common RAM Error, Dan from Japan, Toasty PC, and AT & Sam from Software Agents TV (specific games listed in credits), with help from Rebecca Rosenhaus, Rachel Marcel and Dark Battleship. Footage cut down by AT Gonzalez. Video edited by MrTopTenList.

Once again, it was a lot of fun to be a part of this video! Thank you to Justin, Dan, Toasty, Sam, Rebecca, Rae and Kyle for their contributions, as well-- A.T.
I'm so used to Yu-Gi-Oh that I would've just accepted that there's a fish that flies around in space with no extra backstory
Mmm Authentic Italian food
@ What is that a Sonic the hedgehog Movie reference? And they reference in Sonic movie 2 as well.
Waifu Meter!
You need to be a card. You all need your own references now
Too bad Darius isnt Konami
1:51 in the country I'm from , these games are called Nemesis . I thought Gradius was the name of the ship.
Also, Vampire Killer is the name of the song of the first level of the Castlevania game
So it's the name of the whip, theme song, and game (in some iterations). Wow, this name got around in Castlevania.
Funny thing with the Moai Interceptor Cannons: in the german version of the card, its name is missspelled as "Moai AbfangkanoNNen", with "Abfang" correctly translating the interceptor part, but the german word for cannon, "Kanone" is spelled with only one N whereas "Nonnen" with two N's refers to women of the clerus, making "Kanonnen" kind of an accidently (at least i hope xD) word pun of Cannon and Nun. So the german Card translated back to english would mean something like "Moai Interceptor Cannon Nuns". Another glorious example of Konami being absolutely horrible when it comes to german localization xD
Thanks for the language lesson!
Considering that Konami has the rights of Silent Hill, I found amazing that they prefer to make reference to the main competition, Resident Evil, in the Vendread Archetype.
By the way, the new support for Vendread is clearly Nemesis and it looks awesome.
I noticed that too.
And spawn too.
The Helpoemer monster definitely seems like he'd be right at home in Silent Hill though.
That's because Vendread originates from the TCG, not the OCG.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 How is that a reason?
I always like it when companies reference their stuff in other stuff.
That was always my favorite part of the super smash brothers series when they added trophies to the mix learning the history of video games
It's funny that in the past they have made references their other games now they make anime references in the cards.
I don't because I'm a socialist and I oppose captialism. I hate companies.
PRODUCT PLACEMENT !!!
@@SWAATSFan now? It’s nothing new
Never knew Koitsu and his boys were from a videogame, but this just makes me love that useless archetype even more.
We stan the itsu brother here
Would much rather eat and do yoga on a paper airplane naked.
Fun fact: Alex Mitchell topped twice with a Gradius deck in 2009 and 2010.
One of my favorite combos was 3 solar flare dragons dropped with ultimate offering and laugh.
Ryu Kokki from Ryu Kotsuki is probably a mistransliteration, or possibly the intended Japanese pronunciation: the character "tsu" in Japanese is used in a smaller form to denote that you pause for a syllable to duplicate the next consonant sound.
The best-known example where this happens is Tekken, where they combined the words tetsu (iron) and ken (fist.)
Fun fact: Moai and Brain Golem are also bosses that you fight in the Konami fighting game Monster Maulers (or Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn, in Japan). The Moai in that game now has arms and a body, and Brain Golem is just like in the cards and previous games (big flying brain with tentacle arms, and one big eye that you can actually hit it out of the monster).
13:57 Yae looks SO CUTE there. I miss those games. 17:32 did Elena write this?
Sasuke Samurai and Sasuke Samurai 4 have occasional use in goat format. Sasuke Samurai 3 also has a very niche use of swapping it to your opponent and then crashing into it to draw cards for yourself.
Sasuke 3 was great for one deck type. Using cards like "Greed" or, "appropriate". There are tons of cards that heavily punish the opponent for drawing , they are just never played anymore. But if your opponent draws their deck out you can make them discard down during end phase, or just make them discard by other effects. Or even make them shuffle and redraw, activating appropriate or greed even though they never technically increased hand size, adding more burn dmg.
I don't know if you take suggestions for lists but I had an idea for one after watching your Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho lists. (Top Ten anime characters that only appeared in video games.) Games based on popular animes that featured a character that was exclusive to that game.
The idea came when watching the before mentioned videos I got reminded of an Inuyasha game that was released on the Nintendo DS. The story involved Kagome's school getting a foreign exchange student from the US named Janis. And as it turns out Janis is also capable of going through the well back to Feudal Japan. So she ends up joining Kagome and the gang for a one-off adventure. So Janis could be a contender for this list.
Another contender for the list that I thought of off the top of my head could be Android 21 from Dragon Ball FighterZ.
I hope him an JM make more Inuyasha lists.
Hands down I like the Gradius references the most. Though the Goemon ones I never knew about until this video.
Something you forgot is that "Vampire Killer" is actually the name of the whip the Belmonts use. Further it was the lover of Leon Belmont, Sara Trantoul, who gave her live to empower the whip of alchemy and help Leon defeat vampires like the one that turned her. This was the whole kickoff of the series as thiet ordeal was revealed at the end to have been orchestrated by Mathias Cronqvist (aka Dracula) in his bid for power. The Vampire Killer whip having the soul of the Vampire Sara and loyal only to the family line of her ex lover, has been almost a character of itself in its whip form throughout the series. The Japanese name of this card makes A LOT more sense now. The included Belmont is a cameo as one is required to wield the whip, but the dark attribute and instadeath effect against other dark monsters with the name "Vampire Killer" makes it clear that THE WHIP is actually what the card is centered around. The whip is enhanced by the soul of a Vampire making it dark but since she was vengeful against other vampires and gave her eternal life to take a form that could be used to destroy them, the effect of destroying all other dark monsters it battles makes perfect sense to the in game story. This also explains why it would fit being part of the Vampire series instead of having the name slightly altered to act as pure antisupport. Sara WAS a vampire. There is no need to alter the name slightly the the word Vampire to exclude it from the archetype because she WAS a vampire so it still fits. She just happens to be a vampire who also allows her soul to be used to kill other vampires. With all this in mind, this might be the most clever and unexpected expressions of a Konami character in YuGiOh ever. People will mistakenly think it's referring to the clear Belmont weilding the whip but with the origional Japanese name of the card and its details in mind, the truth is revealed. In fact..look at the art. You gave the Belmont tight against the one side of the card and the castle way against the left, both references to the series as background cameos, but the whip ITSELF is what is focused on in the center art of the card. The art is balanced by the surrounding cameo references but the Vampire Killer is actually what takes center stage in this imagery, THE WHIP!
damn that's a great catch dude. what a cool reference by konami
Dude how you got time to post an essay 😆
Wow that's amazing
i had no idea there were so many old school games in yugioh, mind.blown.
In the early days of Duel Links i used to have a Victory Viper deck that would use its support cards to boost itself to big numbers and ocasionally create option tokens to overwhelm the CPU opponent... The good old days
Judgment meter needs to be in all your videos because thats why i watch them.
Mind-blowing. I recognize nearly all of these cards, but I only ever recognized that DDR and Gradius had anything to do with video games.
Surely Lord British is somehow also connected to video game designer/amateur astronaut Richard "Lord British" Gariot?
Vampire Killer is also the name of the Belmont family’s magic whip.
And the most well known Castlevania music track!
14:38 Oh no, Trend's brother is crying. He was probably at a birthday party and Sasuke just used him as part of a substitution jutsu. What a mean ninja. Ancient Tree didn't deserve this.
His name is Trent. I 'm so tired of this!
Xexex is actually the great villain of the Xexex games, he itself appears as a Prize card from 2005 Championship, called King of Destruction- Xexex (a match winner card that cannot be played )
The name of the final boss in Xexex is "Klaus," though. Xexex is a power up, but I don't recall what it does.
@@SoftwareAgentsTV it's not the boss, it's a lore thing. Like in Gradius, Bacterian is the lore villain but the final boss that mostly appears is Gofer (there's a card for him too, Ambitious Gofer, with a very coll art)
@@juanmarcelo589 So is Klaus a minion of Xexex in the way that Gofer is one for Bacterian? -- A.T.
A few things about the Arcade Game Xexex. The Flintlock (the player's ship) would wield the Flint pod (a front attachment) throughout the entire game alongside its main weapon (Proton Lasers). While attached, the Flint pod would protect the front of the ship from enemy projectiles. It could also be charged to have it fire a large array of tentacles. The Flint pod could also be fired forward (like a missile) using a special button (this detaches the Flint pod). The Flint pod would stop at the first enemy hit creating a small blast at that location. Afterwards, the Flint pod would float about in that location slowing/weakening enemies in said location (that were not already destroyed by the aforementioned blast). Using the special button again whilst the Flint pod was detached, would call the flint pod back to its original position in-front of the ship for reattachment. I don't know what game you were describing. Also, there is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Card named "King of Destruction - Xexex", that I thought you would go over.
Actually, the airplane men were very easy to play. I had a deck on them and it, actually whipped a ton of people lol. Ufo turtle, mothr grizzly, and flying kamikiri got them straight from the deck, and onto the field , ignoring any need to tribute. There was also discarding them and using monster reborn or call of the haunted back then, or premature burial. Once you equipped two airplane men to each other, they went to 2500 or 3000 atk and I believe your opponent couldn't activate anything in response to their attacks too, and they even did pierce damage ( I THINK, I could be wrong on this). But, yea they were REALLY strong for a total gimmick for a short time. Don't get me started on the Huge Revolution combo deck. If you managed to pull that off you basically won. Your opponent literally couldn't come back from it back then. It was obviously MUCH more challenging to do but, there are consistent ways to make it happen, especially now with all of the normal monster support
Konami also make movie based cards as well. Kozmo archetype is star wars
5:04 bro ....that's the battleship that serves as the final stage of the original gradius game
okay can you make a top ten list about Spyro now? and when are you fishing the Kirby streams?
I never actually grew up with the Spyro games, so I probably wouldn't be the best person to make that video. As for Kirby, I didn't realize my Kirby Superstar stream from 2020 was that popular since a few commenters have asked me about it. No plans to continue that for now. If I do stream again, I'd probably want to do another fighting game to ease back into it.
@@MrTopTenList Please do a bloody roar stream.there is only 1 character from that series in ur top 10s
Vampire Killer is the name of the whip weiled across the generations of Belmonts in the Castlevania games. The English card was changed from "Killer" to "Hunter" for no other reason than Konami's obsession with censoring tcg versions of cards.
I think it's funny that Getsu Fuhma and Ryu Kokki have effects that destroy each other while also having Vampire Hunter that can destroy both of them since they are both Dark type. It's like the bigger, more well known franchise stamping out the lower less known one.
This video blew my mind 😂 I just didn’t think about other Konami games but now I’m like dang. They knew exactly what they were doing this whole time 🤣.
That's what it was like for me when I first learned about them too! It's similar to when I noticed the intertwining backstories among card art that inspired my Yugioh backstory videos. Glad you enjoyed!
It was nice to see MTTL, AT and JM together in the same video
tbh w U, I think its a huge shame that you didnt use any music from Konami games in this video. Konami gaems have great music. . Is Konami music banned on UA-cam? And why didnt yuGiOh make a card about rocket Knight Adventures?
Video game music is very iffy when not used in it's game of origin. Even if it is, it could still get a video flagged as having copyrighted content. For example, my Darkstalkers streams cannot be monetized since I let the entire menu play all the way through without disruption.
Btw Parodius should be pronounced Pair - Oh- dee-us as its a series of games parodying the Gradius games! Also, doesn't Lekunga resemble. Marvels Shuma Gorath, right down to the pulsating eye?
That makes sense and I never considered that lol. ANd he does indeed look like Shuma! I probbaly would have brought that up if he got a full entry, in part because he has very little lore or usage in the game.
@@MrTopTenList I think Shuma Gorath will be in the 2nd Dr. Strange movie
I'll be totally honest, I had always thought Getsu Fuhma was a woman.
Funnily enough, I just made a "Gradius"-Deck the other Day.
Mainly because "Victory Viper XX03" can become stupidly powerful, with "United we stand" equipped it can get up to 4000 ATK with two "Option-Tokens" on the Field....
A funny little Deck.
I think all the Gradius themed effect cards should’ve had the effect text “This cards is always treated as Vic Viper”, but in the Cyberdragon way, not the Harpy Sister way.
Can you do a top 10 hammer wielders?
It would be insane if konami made a whole metal gear archetype.
Tactical Espionage feels like more a cameo for Raiden you know the protag from metalgear 2
Top 10 psychopaths in fighting games please🙏
I wish psycho mantis was in a fighting game he had psycho in his name
Beware of Scharlachrot...
B.B. Hood has to be in the list!
Bryan Fury from tekken,that laugh
What about power play lady sisters its characters from the power play games and was given out as a collab with a dark magician in the art style of power play
It makes me sad that no one remembers the very first Metal Gear game on the NES. All anyone ever thinks about is Solid. It is good, but the original Metal Gear needs some love and recognition too.
Besides that, I'm excited to find out that Koitsu, Aitsu, Soitsu, and Doitsu has their own video game. That's actually the reason why I clicked on this haha.
i remember it bro. MGS3 SUBSISTANCE on ps2 has mg1 mg2 and mgs3 on its dual disks.
good times....
I think it's a good idea for tactical espionage expert to have that effect because he looks lovely like a guy that would recenise a trap and evoyd it
I KNEW Vampire Hunter was Leon Belmont all along! Though I dunno about the various other vampire monsters being direct Castlevania references. Vampires are pretty generic monsters after all. Except Scarlet Scourge, he's definitely an Alucard reference.
Omg I love the Space Dandy reference at 1:30 😝
God it's like adam Ruins Everything but somehow worset
In *Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Spirit Caller* _Suitsu_ is a partner spirit in the game, meaning you have to run a deck with him in it, and win duels with one on the field to level him up, (he removes one false answer from every question in the weekly school test). Thankfully there are plenty of deck searchers and union support in that game, not to mention special summons for fairies/low attack monsters; the deck build is creative, but pretty weak with no reliable stand alone monsters; 3stars out of 5.
They are strong actually. Plenty of vanilla cards summon these guys, like giant rat, flying kamakiri #2, mother grizzly, and ufo turtle. I had this deck built a long time ago and I nearly won a good few locals with it because I could get those guys equipped so easily in that way. If you can pull it off, it was actually REALLY hard to overpower them. And if you blow them up well, plenty of goofy normal support exists and did exist back then that revived them in the same turn usually.
@@raijuko In *GX* I was thinking of making them a traditional Fairy support deck (Fairy deck, circa 2006) but the _Sanctuary In The Sky_ support cluttered the deck. So I made it an Ai/Koi/Doi/Soi with the XYZ (machine monsters) cards for actual versatile coverage.
Thanks for covering Konami's Video game library, especially on Goemon/ Castlevania!!!! (So much great coverage on Yae too! Thank you!!!) Also I agree Vampire Killer is probably Leon Belmont, but have you noticed Vampire Curse resembles Mier Link from Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust?
I got 2 Better Call Saul ad in a row for this video
I really like the paper plane guys very much, but they need searches.
Like a light-attribute version that searches Soitsu and Doitsu.
And a dark-attribute version that searches Aitsu and Koitsu.
They all need much love ❤️.
vampire hunter looks like hector, or soma when he's being controlled by dracula's dormant power within him. i seriously see why people think he's leon, nothing individually on him actually looks like the card enough to say they're the same person
Please tell me that the next Yu-Gi-Oh themed countdown will be the Top 10 Yu-Gi-Oh Monsters with weird Yu-Gi-Oh Typing.
Today I learned that some Yu-Gi-Oh monsters are based on video games.
Glad we could help!
Invasion of Flames AKA Explodia
Seto Kaiba: Explodia! It's not possible. Nobody ever managed to escape him.
When Vic Viper XX03 has its own support: Power Capsule.
Tactical espionage experts head is like Raidens
Vampire killer is the name of the whip the Belmont's(and Norris's) use. Also the name of the first bgm in original game. Awesome music to slaughter the undead.
Happy Easter! Speaking of Konami franchises, can you please make a what if scenario for a crossover fighting game with Konami characters with Marvel vs Capcom style gameplay?
In reference to Tactical Espionage Expert if they had made the other monsters reflect the members of Foxhound at least then there would’ve been some kind of link, rather than Eagle Eye you have Raven Eye, rather than Creeping Doom Manta you have Creeping Doom Mantis etc
Actually: the Vampire Sucker is a reference to Elizabeth Bathory from the Fate series. And also there is already "Vampire Dracula" which is directly the Dracula of the Castlevania saga
Top ten anime super heroes to be more precise supersentai type heroes or dc and marvel heroes type heroes. I really hope guyver is on this list
regarding castlevania, i am convinced some of the Ghosttrick archetype is based on the castlevania spinoff kid dracula
Top 10 one-off opponents in Ranma
Vampire Killer is actually the name of the sacred whip the Belmonts pass down from generation to generation.
One of the first sets of my Yugioh cards growing were bootlegs. So when I first saw Gradius I thought it wasn't a real card and something fakers just made.
Only when I finally have legit decks that I realized it's an actual card (I was too lazy to Google back then)
Top 10 best joke cards
Them not making Silent Hill cards is a huge waste and a shame
Spaceships got 2 YCS tops with a deck that focused on a bunch of traps and spells to control the opponent’s monsters position so lord British could reliably destroy them and gain advantage from it.
On top of that it used Honest to co trim the battle phase. Lord British could OTK with a well timed honest since it would keep the attack gain and attack again.
Great video!
The Ganbare Goemon series is one of my favorites, so it makes me happy that it was mentioned.
Kind of a bummer that not one mention of silent hill. Konami could've easily made a zombie type that resembles a monster from SH
Yes!
Judgement Meter's presence is always great in these videos 😍
Half surprised Vic Viper's Zone of the Enders iteration didn't get a card.
I had no idea about any of this. Good video.
Glad you enjoyed!
This video just made me realize Konami released WAY too many shoot em ups good lord
All these references haven't had new entries in their series in atleast 10 years, just goes to show Konami doesn't make games anymore lol
could have mentioned hand destruction when you did the rundown of the sasuke cards.
xexex isn't that hard to pronounce
Parodius segment made me lol.
Well I think I'm going to go rush out by all the Konami cards and build a deck and see if I can make a competitive
Capcom monsters next? Just wanna see Vendread Archetype
27:54 Isn't Metal Gear Rex based on this design? It kind of looks like an upgraded Ducker. Not to mention that Metal Gears as a concept are basically just mobile nuke launchers and the only reason they go so hard with their designs is Otacon is a mecha anime fan.
11:56 Sasuke Samurai is a decent Goat Format card!
Let's see...here's what ya missed on the Castlevainia References MrTopTen....
- Shadow Vampire is Scourge / Alucard in the Alucart Armor from Castlevainia: Symphony Of The Night
- Vampire Lady is Dracula's Niece in Csstlevainia: Bloodlines
- Voivode and The Zombie Vampire are Dracula himself and his Final Form, keeping with Scourge and Shadow Vampire are from Also Castlevainia: Symphony Of The Night
- The Rank 5 Is Alucard in his Family's Armor again but the Upgraded Armor he starts out with in the Start of Castlevainia: Symphony Of The Night called the "Alucard Armor"
- The First Vampire Field Spell used in the GX Anime is Castlevainia itself, Dracula's Home Turf
That's the details ya missed lad, good work regardless
Once again,Contra gets no live from Konami. They could've censored it by calling it Probotector,thats wat the series is called in Europe (along w/other changes)
Top Ten Based Konami games
Are penguin soldier a reference to Penguin Adventure the MSX game?
Wow a week ago I pointed out to someone on FB that Yugioh was based on other Konami games and blap You have it here
You manifested this video into existence!
Was waiting for a flint lockwood joke lmao
This sort of stuff is like when the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kamen Rider Ghost crossover movie and tie-in material had a trio of Namco references due to Ex-Aid being a love letter to classic video games and Bandai Namco owning the toy and video game rights to Kamen Rider, with there even being a giant Bugster Xevious fleet with a Bugster in the form of Andor Genesis as the flagship. Oddly there was no Tekken bugsters or gashats even though literally the first episode of Ex-Aid features a Tekken 7 tournament and Tekken 7 machines would make various appearances througout the series. Just Pac-Man, Xevious and an obscure baseball game called Famista. Just like how Yugioh has Metal Gear/Castlevania, Gradius and Power Pros
Vampire voivode and the zombie vampire also reference that everytime dracula in castlevania ressurects he brings his army from beyond. Not to mention crimson knight vampire bram along with vampire lord have refrences to dracula as everytime vampire hunter destroys them they come back.
talking about the 'vampire hunter' card
the 'vampire killer' name is also both the original name of the belmont whip and also the name of the first song in the series
unfortunately most people forget the whip name because they changed it 'morning star' in recent works
I thought Morning Star was the Grade Up for the whip in the CV games, though?
You can make the gradius archetype competitive. It’s just very difficult to do so if not almost impossible
I love how there's a miss Kobayashi dragon maid deck lol
C'mon... you did not even said anything about Power Capsule, this Victory Viper support card is so usefull, you can activate any of his effects without attacking
I believe it was on the list of cards I suggested to him but it didn't make the cut. -- A.T.
I love the female voice actress as she is the definition of the meaning "bimbo / air heard" which makes these videos heavily entertaining when I watch these videos, when it is recommended to me from my UA-cam feed.
Loved the video as usual. What about a Top 10 Fighting characters that fight using knives? Greetings!
I remember seeing something about the Xyz card Gold Rat was a jab at the usual Konami game obsession with using rats as the starting RPG minions. Kinda like a Zubat in Pokemon. But I can't remember where I saw it.
Cool video man and good job
After seeing Trent and his brother Ancient Tree I wonder, will we get a video on top 10 living trees?
That's actually where the Trent jokes started! We did that video in 2020, where we had some words with Yugioh's first(?) tree: ua-cam.com/video/-oYT6G6kzR0/v-deo.html
@@MrTopTenList seems like I missed a few videos this channel has to offer.
actually the vampire killer is the name of the whip used in the series.
Man i really wanted to watch this video and the main narrator was bearable, not great and pretty generic but fine. But the other cast of random people speaking are not. Couldnt stand the scratchy mics and unfunny quips. Shame too because this was a lot more interesting that a typical "top ten highest ATK monsters" list most people slap together quick and throw out.
Can't speak for JM, but sorry if my commentary wasn't great. Hopefully, the gameplay clips were fine, though, and added to the video. I had fun doing the lines, though I'm kind of uptight about my sound quality for the last few videos. Outside circumstances made it so I couldn't record on my usual set up. -- A.T.
@@SoftwareAgentsTV Honestly I have been through a few more videos and although I see the cast kind of rotates over time, the setup grew on me!
You guys are pretty alright.
Jinzo is a reference to Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear and the Vampire Killer is the name of the heirloom whip of the Belmont family.
