Seriously. Even in "Duelist of the Roses", rituals are a nightmare. And you can run away from attacks in that game! Doesn't help that it's always three monsters with attacks rarely breaching 3000 when you could give an Unhappy Maiden 3000 attack in two turns in both games.
Endgame on this would be a nightmare, you'd have to topdeck swords of revealing light & get lucky with gate guardian components probably.. but it might be possible actually..
@@MariaYuri-qo8jy He placed 3rd in the Japanese national championship, though most anything about that tournament was omitted from the dub for various reasons, all we really saw about it in the dub was Rex vs Weevil.
Another trivia of Giant Scorpion of the Tundra based on its Japanese reading is that in the Tag Force series, a few of the characters who are tsundere run it as a random one-off in their decks, even if it makes zero sense for them to run. And often it's marked as one of their "Favorite" cards, which means when you unlock the ability to edit their decks you can't take it out.
I really appreciate your analysis, humor, and the amount of effort you put into these runs. Glad to see classic YuGiOh content doing well on UA-cam since I don't keep up with the new stuff. My only experience with this game as a kid was playing it one time at a friends house in 1st grade and being really confused. I'm suddenly interested in trying it myself thanks to your videos. Looking forward to your future runs, that ritual one sounds wild.
Wow Austin what an awesome message to wake up to! And a massive thank you for the Super Thanks ❤️🤜🤛! You seriously didn't have to my dude i'm just glad to be making something that people enjoy. Will definitely throw you a direct shoutout when i begin releasing my next video
@@God_of_RDA sorry, but i'm not a bootlicker i had a minor and valid critique, otherwise known as a "nitpick", so i voiced it and i really don't see how that makes me a baby
I got to be 100% honest. There is a WEIRD satisfaction to watch you sweep the final 6 with super powered insect cards. I am really thankful to see that
6:47 Yeah all of the Guardian Stars are assigned to a certain Element (Saturn is wind btw), with the 4 "inner" Stars being the weird one that was based from the 1st Yugi vs Pegasus duel weakness system (Sun is light/white magic, Moon is dark/evil, Mercury is shadow/black magic, and Venus is illusion). 38:20 judging from the glasses and hairstyle from the portrait, I think Duel Master K would look like Digimon World's Analogman 😅 Great content as always, I'm looking forward for the Fiend and Beast-Warriors, or the very hard mode Reptile lol.
While it's not much, you deserve so much more support! You pump out these high quality videos at such an astounding rate and pay your own money to make certain runs even possible. Much love from Germany, you're awesome!
Dude thank you! 😁 No extra donations necessary i'm just happy that people are enjoying the content! I'll be sure to throw you a shoutout when the next video goes live! 🤜🤛
The pocketstation cap is an excellent addition. Thank you so much for all your hard work! You improve with every episode and the effort you put in is incredible 😁
I totally understand, but at the same time I don’t think it’s unrealistic to use it to make the game more fun when you could literally grind for Meteor B. Dragon with no issues by that point anyways
Honestly im liking and subscribing just for doing both easy and hard. I respected you going hard but was so happy getting to see easy mode too. Great craftsmanship, fun video. Thanks!
43:32 Just putting this out for future runs, Nightmare has only monster cards in his deck. He'll never play spell or trap cards. So once you can run over Blue Eyes Ultimate, you're in the clear. Huh, and here I thought Fiends were the only archtype to have a fusion contained entirely within their own archtype (Job-Change Mirror + Fiend = Summon Skull). Good to know Insects have the same.
Dragons have one as well. I don't recall the exact combination, but I believe a Tyhone is involved. I digress, Atenza once created Red Eyes Black Dragon
Tyhone and Blackland Fire Deagon, Darkfire Deagon, or Black Dragon Jungle King. This series has me replaying and forgoing Twin Head to see what the other types can offer. Oh, and Dark Witch is a fairy exclusive, Dancing Elf + Dancing Elf, amongst other options.
@@jthecaffeinatedcrow6456 There is Meteor B. Dragon which is the red-eyes you mentioned and Meteor Dragon, literally the strongest fusion in general. Strongest generic fusion, which is the speedrunning meta, is Twin-headed thunder dragon, which its Thunder dragon base can be used in an all-out thunder deck like Kuwagata α in this run and Job-change mirror which can surprisingly be obtained from Duel Master K with the A-S POW
@@Zorãoi.2297 since he made a Zombie run, we get to see those aforementioned in-type fusions, on top of him displaying the 10 zombie fusion chain that spits out zombies, and 3 extra fuses resulting in non-zombies. Winged-Beast has Mavelus which has the Pyro Sub-type, enabling a Crimson Sunbird for that future run
I love the edits and comedic spins you throw on these videos. I know editing stuff in can be time consuming, but I really appreciate the effort you put into this. Also loved the little trivia stuff, did not know that there was that spider as a trap card.
That was really cool bonus round and the hard mode round! I would love to see ritual monsters! As I have never seen them ever used XD Good luck on your part
A Tec tends to be faster when farming for megamorph and bright castle since you just need 15 fusions, 4 effective attacks, use 1 trap, 1 magic, 1 equip, play 1 card facedown, have less than 7k LP, have 3 or less cards remaining in your deck and have 9 of your turns go by. You can use more fusions, equips, etc, if need be. Love the videos! Keep it up!
@Jon_Oh right on 👌 I suppose going for A tec with a deck that doesn't have a lot of fusion material would be extremely difficult hahaha but imo with other decks coming up that do have a lot of fusion materials this would be the fastest method since it's the way all speed runners use to farm megamorph. Thanks for the reply btw!
This series is so fun! The amount of work you put into this is incredible. Would it be possible to try a zombie run? That's the type I always play in any game. Great work, take care! :)
I'm a new sub but I have to say I really enjoy these trial runs. You have great presentation and knowledge about this game inside and out. Please don't stop these themed challenge runs anytime soon.
Fairies are actually very strong in this game since there are many Equip cards for them and many for female monsters, which many of the Fairy-type monsters are. And they are the easiest type for farming S-Tech drops
@@420mralucard I ran with the same issue with Mystical Sand, which lacked female rock card with less attack than said sand for an all-out girl powered deck (which some fusions can actually spit out men or E-whip incompatible genderless if players aren't careful with fusion priorities... ew XD)
This game was my first experience ever of YuGiOh, followed shortly after by Dualist of the Roses. So it's fantastic seeing challenge runs like this. Love the trivia and your commentary! There's definitely going to be a major variance in the difficulty with this kind of run. I imagine that Pyro and Fairy will probably be the worst.
Fun fact, Giant Ballpark Insects is a relatively common deck used in events in Master Duel since the parts are rarely banned. People are using it currently in the type restricted event (Beast-Warrior/Beast/Winged Beast/Insect/Reptile).
The most common insect decks I’ve seen in master duel now due to their recent new support is Beetrooper and traptrix, mix or insects and plants but use a lot of support that use both those types Inzectors got new support too
I was playing Beetrooper myself in the event, still saw way more Giant Ballpark stuff than Beetrooper on the other side, but that's just mostly a cost thing. Beetrooper's expensive if you weren't around to pull on the normal pack w/ it and are stuck pulling on the Secret.
I was literally looking for this exact video last night and was like “ahh mann, no one’s really done a bug deck only in a game like this” thanks for uploading this, what are the odds ?! 😂😂😂
@@Jon_Oh makes sense 😂 I just got into yugioh like a week ago, my brother was born in 1990 so he was heavily into it and just got back into it himself. So I thought I might as well try it out. I just bought this game off eBay because of your series, now I just need an adapter and some memory cards 😂 thanks for getting me interested 😂
@@Jon_Oh yea.... I mean the only way they do this is either a they have the japanese version or b just get the best insect ones without 99999 chips bs lol and spam equips lol
I was just looking at the last video thinking it's been a couple of weeks from the last video. Just checked and its been up for 30 minutes. Very nice work.
You madman, you're actually gonna try and do a ritual run at one point. I look forward to it! Also, this is only the third episode in your Forbidden Memories series, but the improvements over the first two episodes are insane. I like how you kinda gave the Egypt parts of the game their own little sorta story arc, about the bugs being fumigated, and you bringing them back (and feeding the man-eater bugs) and the "...tries to shove the millenium ant farm up his butt" made me burst out laughing. Also, teh fun facts between matches WERE indeed fun! You mentioned one card being worth a lot because it only had one printing, did you know the card "Bean Soldier" only had 1 printing and can go for roughly $17USD, despite having no effect or anything? I'm not sure if I said this whne I commented on the last video, but for some reason, I like it when you read out what cards you win from the fight. I mean, half of the time they're just potatos (cards of no real use to you or your runs), but for some reason, I just like it. No idea what the next run's gonna be, but looking forward to it!
@@Jon_Oh oh wow, that sounds like a nightmare... or should I say NITEMARE? :P but still, it'll be fascinating to watch! I'd also be curious to see how far through a save like that could make it/if the whole game would be possible! (although I can imagine it'd take a while, if you have a spare memory card, you can keep a Ritual save on the side and do it in little bits, while working on another run, to maybe try and save sanity a bit?... or would that kinda mess up/confuse recordings?)
Thanks to youtube "logarythm" I found this gem. The video is really entertaining, challenging and on top of that you're a natural comedian who throws in a lot of interesting trivia. really, really nice
Insects? Based. My first "working" deck was a great moth deck. And with working I mean that it could summon the bugger somewhat reliably... Better days.
@@Jon_Oh Lol. I'm pretty sure she's the worst team captain in FB too, befitting her genericness. Yugi's side must've really been hurting for help to bring her along. I forget if you've done this in your other Forbidden Memories videos but have you shown off the 3D card battles you get by pressing Square to initiate an attack instead of X? The models are PSX as all-get-out and I love them for it.
Aw hell yeah new FM solotype run. This series has already become a favourite of mine and this video was awesome fun to watch. Looking forward to that pain of the ritual only run.
Jon_Oh We just had a conversation(1youtube comment), couldn't let a fellow JonO know of the amazement you were hiding from us all. Thank you so much for your time and work. And I hope the blessings of "Jon with no H" follow you through all time
Unironically insect type has been one of my most favorites of all times, how i would love konami gave them more love, but well, hard to make decks that don't include "big titty waifu"
When I was a kid I found out about the PocketStation when Final Fantasy VIII mentioned it to play the Chocobo World minigame. They localized it to every region but never gave us the hardware to actually do it. Lol
I'm loving these challenge runs, as someone who never played the game and probably wont. learning so many cool new things you dont get to see in a standard THTD/MBD type of playthrough. Plus your storytelling and deadpan joke delivery is fantastic.
@@Jon_Oh I love how you pick a single joke theme off the bat and just keep it running through the whole game, and now editing the models makes it even better.
I always enjoy watching these videos. Heck, I’ve even started to use them as background noise between studying for my grad school exams, and when I rarely get a chance to paint some miniatures. I love your wit, and the bits of trivia you include in your videos. Plus, I find your voice to be rather relaxing as well. Hope you continue soon! PS: Hope Bandit Keith is next. If you had to deal with Weevil cheating with non-insects, you may as well become the king of cheaters, hahaha.
Wow! Thank you so much for the support! You seriously didn't have to do that my dude, i'm happy to have people just watching my videos 😁 Wishing you all the best in your exams, i applaud the effort and detail needed to paint miniatures. I for one do not have a steady hand for that. Machine has definitely moved up the list! The -500 atk drop on Umi fields will make for an interesting challenge against Ocean Mage and Secmeton. I'll be sure to drop you a shoutout in the next video. Keep being awesome 🤜🤛
Thx for the easy mode showcase, that *was* the deck I really wanted to see lmao. Im fully on board with whatever type comes next but afterwards my vote is on plants
Brother you are simply amazing! I was built in 90 and was 13 when I played the game. It's just complete nostalgia! I would love to see a run from you where you have to summon a ritual monster every second run! I hope this hasn't happened yet, but I'd like to see it. Greetings 😊
Great series so far - I agree with everyone acknowledging the effort you're putting into these! Learning Japanese to legitimately acquire the cards and transferring your saves to English via PS2 console commands is something else 🤯
I always love to see the algorithm working in someones favor who absolutely deserves it. These challenge videos are super interesting, and I can't wait to see more.
This might sound weird, but I have never seen Giant Scorpion of the Tundra before, first time ever. I might make it my personal bug card now. Amazing work!
Oh god ritual run feels like it'll be a nightmare. Forbidden memories rituals are just... My heart goes out to you when you do that run
+1 to rituals and your heart ❤️
Seriously. Even in "Duelist of the Roses", rituals are a nightmare. And you can run away from attacks in that game!
Doesn't help that it's always three monsters with attacks rarely breaching 3000 when you could give an Unhappy Maiden 3000 attack in two turns in both games.
@@tomforge614I'll never forget how obsessed i was with my first ritual monster in dor. It was chakra.

@@tomforge614 at least they get effects... some times
I laughed out loud when I saw Heishin's edit of him using the anti-bug spray. I wish you continue that trend with the following challenges.
Millennium Mortein is now canon 🤣 100% will keep it up
Coincidence or not, you basically roleplayed as Rex, Mako and now Weevil 😮 which were the top 3 duelist in Japan before duelist kingdom
Genuine coincidence! The voters decided that 😅
Mako was a top player? thought je was just that water duelist rando?
@@MariaYuri-qo8jy He placed 3rd in the Japanese national championship, though most anything about that tournament was omitted from the dub for various reasons, all we really saw about it in the dub was Rex vs Weevil.
Next should be Mai and that would be female subtype
Wasn’t Mako just a freaky fish guy?
Another trivia of Giant Scorpion of the Tundra based on its Japanese reading is that in the Tag Force series, a few of the characters who are tsundere run it as a random one-off in their decks, even if it makes zero sense for them to run. And often it's marked as one of their "Favorite" cards, which means when you unlock the ability to edit their decks you can't take it out.
I played the tagforce and i completely forgot that there were locked cards!
@@Jon_Ohdon't feel bad I also have forgot about that tidbit.
Bruh i saw this 42 seconds after posting and honestly loving thus series and i dont really comment on youtube but this is genuinely a good series
Thank you 😁 Enjoy!
Main reason why i subbed to him
Opponent:"My board is full of big beaters! Victory will be mine!"
Jon with Raigeki on his hand:"Anywho..."
🤣

"Oh no, anyway"
Sounds of 5 cards getting stuck by lightning

Great Moth was a beautiful shiny, can hardly blame you!
The generic palace girl is a named character in the Yu-Gi-Oh RTS game, Falsebound Kingdom. She's called Fizdis there.
I'll be sure to remember Fishsticks for the next video 👍 :)
@@Jon_Oh Lol. I'm pretty sure she's the worst team captain in FB too, befitting her genericness. Yugi's side must've really been hurting for help to bring her along.
I forget if you've done this in your other Forbidden Memories videos but have you shown off the 3D card battles you get by pressing Square to initiate an attack instead of X? The models are PSX as all-get-out and I love them for it.
Someone get this man more subscribers. Also do machines next!
😁
Aw hell yeah new FM solotype run. This series has already become a favourite of mine and this video was awesome fun to watch. Looking forward to that pain of the ritual only run.
Glad you enjoyed! Cant wait to start my next one
yes finally a another video !!!! how about trying a reptile only deck
The punishment!
The twist on the story you add is as entertaining to watch as the challenge, well done
Thank you! I never know where i end up with the script when i start blurting out nonsense😅
Oh boy, another one! This is bound to be good 🍿
Enjoy! 😅
Also I'm hyped for the eventual ritual-only run, that one's also gonna be a treat
It can be summed up as "10 minutes to beat Simon"
I have never and will never play this game but these are by far some of my favorite videos
For the record, Nitemares deck is exclusively monsters. No spells, no traps, only unga
I thought he had a small chance of Raigeki?
This might be the first time a pharaoh WANTS a locust swarm. I enjoy the trivia, plenty of fun details.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am really happy about the 2 new categories. Hope to see crimson sunbird soon!
And btw: please keep showing the cards unobtainable in original game
Was my go-to card before i learnt about twin head!
@@Jon_Oh same goes for me together with mystical sand. Absolute waifu
Jon_Oh
We just had a conversation(1youtube comment), couldn't let a fellow JonO know of the amazement you were hiding from us all.
Thank you so much for your time and work. And I hope the blessings of "Jon with no H" follow you through all time
Jon_Oh 🤜🤛 JonO
Waifu run confirmed!
LET'S DO IT!
The music in this game is truely top tier :) Amazing video btw cant wait to continue watching the rest of the series to come
Its a solid ost especially the 3d duel music
Win with exodia against everyone? lol
HELL YES!!!! I swear I find myself waiting for you to drop the next one of these and it was absolutely worth it great as always.
Glad you enjoyed it! I plan to keep em coming
Unironically insect type has been one of my most favorites of all times, how i would love konami gave them more love, but well, hard to make decks that don't include "big titty waifu"
Konami will give you big titty bugs
When I was a kid I found out about the PocketStation when Final Fantasy VIII mentioned it to play the Chocobo World minigame. They localized it to every region but never gave us the hardware to actually do it. Lol
Typical japan shenanigans
I thrill think zombies would be fun for the next run, but pyro wouldn't be bad either.
I'm loving these challenge runs, as someone who never played the game and probably wont. learning so many cool new things you dont get to see in a standard THTD/MBD type of playthrough. Plus your storytelling and deadpan joke delivery is fantastic.
🤣🤣 i completely wing it with the storyline! Thank you
@@Jon_Oh I love how you pick a single joke theme off the bat and just keep it running through the whole game, and now editing the models makes it even better.
The flavorful storylines for each creature type run are hilarious!
Aww glad you enjoy them!
This is one of my favorite series on youtube. Keep up the phenomenal content!
I always enjoy watching these videos. Heck, I’ve even started to use them as background noise between studying for my grad school exams, and when I rarely get a chance to paint some miniatures. I love your wit, and the bits of trivia you include in your videos. Plus, I find your voice to be rather relaxing as well. Hope you continue soon!
PS: Hope Bandit Keith is next. If you had to deal with Weevil cheating with non-insects, you may as well become the king of cheaters, hahaha.
Wow! Thank you so much for the support! You seriously didn't have to do that my dude, i'm happy to have people just watching my videos 😁
Wishing you all the best in your exams, i applaud the effort and detail needed to paint miniatures. I for one do not have a steady hand for that. Machine has definitely moved up the list! The -500 atk drop on Umi fields will make for an interesting challenge against Ocean Mage and Secmeton. I'll be sure to drop you a shoutout in the next video. Keep being awesome 🤜🤛
This Japanese adaptation of Moses and the plagues of Egypt is really out there, but the music is still pretty good.
I was struggling on whether to drop that reference or not. Intrusive thoughts won.
Haven’t even played this game and don’t play Yugioh but curiosity gets you to watching about 2 hours of Yugioh challenges
Welcome to the wormhole 🤣
oh my god,this is awesome, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FOREST DECK,MORE PLANTS,INSECTS,BEASTS,YOU KNOW,THANK YOU! LOVE YOU!
+1 to plants!
@@Jon_Oh please ,please, it could be really interesting, i would love to see plants deck too
Absolutely beautiful runs here, Jon_Oh, definitely lived up to the hype. I will say, a Rituals run is very alluring.
Couldn't agree more, simply because its seen as impossible. I need to try it
Thx for the easy mode showcase, that *was* the deck I really wanted to see lmao. Im fully on board with whatever type comes next but afterwards my vote is on plants
Bean soldier needs its spotlight!
Brother you are simply amazing! I was built in 90 and was 13 when I played the game. It's just complete nostalgia! I would love to see a run from you where you have to summon a ritual monster every second run! I hope this hasn't happened yet, but I'd like to see it. Greetings 😊
Ritual run is coming soon. Even im pumped for it
@@Jon_Oh Yeah thx Dude have a nice sunday 😊
I am a huge fan of this series, keep up the good work
Crazy how these Forbidden Memory Challenge runs have blown up so much! Looking forward to the Female and Ritual challenges.
Im just as stunned as you are. +1 to both types
Coming straight in to watch from the notification! Glad i subbed!
Absolute ledge 😁
Thanks for bringing back Raigeki for the win. I’ll never get tired of hearing that! I wish it was my ringtone. Hoping for that pyro run!
🤣🤣 your msg tone can be "Anywho"
you just got a new sub for maintaining your promise from the sea serpants video
I forgot what i promised 😅 thank you 😁
Great series so far - I agree with everyone acknowledging the effort you're putting into these! Learning Japanese to legitimately acquire the cards and transferring your saves to English via PS2 console commands is something else 🤯
Look truthfully the Japanese was trial and error 😅 rest was all true
Also I LOVE that you showed the easy route aswell :)
I had fun with it!
I always love to see the algorithm working in someones favor who absolutely deserves it. These challenge videos are super interesting, and I can't wait to see more.
Glad you like them! And thank you 😁 i'm just winging it at best and happy that people are enjoying the content
Watched all of it, have to say those insect edits were hilarious. Also gj for not going for great moth cards.
Loved the lore bits about bringing the insect plague to egypt, hyped for the next run!
Thanks 😁 im keen too! Lol
I look forward to the forthcoming installments of this series more than anything else on UA-cam currently. Keep it up man, this is quality viewing!
Thank you :)
Can’t wait to see what’s next! My vote is for machines.
This might sound weird, but I have never seen Giant Scorpion of the Tundra before, first time ever. I might make it my personal bug card now. Amazing work!
Fantastic vid bromigo! Never knew that cheeky metalmorph tech existed bravo
Thanks bromigo! ❤️🤜🤛
