So if you would be interested in knowing more of the mythology on Orpheus and Orcust, it’s coming!!! Thank you guys so much for being here and watching, y’all mean the whole world to us! ❤️
As someone who is more of a collector then a player. I find these lore videos very interesting. I love how yugioh card art have stories hidden in them.
Ikr there is soo much lore and its really cool the way that they put a story with multiple archetypes interacting in different ways with eachother. I could seriously see this as a movie.
@@medievalmaxe well considering the current manga is more targetted to actual players, we might just see one based on the entire duel terminal/world legacy lore after this
@@eduardosantillan3048 inzektors are actually based on kamen rider, specifically kamen rider kabuto, with the insect theme and similar weapons(dragonfly using a gun, the hornet uses a weapon attatched to his arm, etc.), not power rangers. Heck, their name in inZECTors, and ZECT is the name of the main organization in kabuto, along with ZECTORS being the transformation items
@@e-tan3911 power rangers is western adaptation of kamen rider so its close enough to say they are power rangers imo. still cool trivia you shared i appreciate it
The reason Ib plays an important role and has the "key" is given to us through the OCG flavour text for Crowned by the World Chalice. Konami really couldn't be arsed to give TCG players the in-depth flavour text. "A priestess who offers requiem prayers to the celestial deity of the planet. The staff she has obtained is a ritual tool handed down through generations, used to guard the people of the forest from the rule of the Jack-Knights by converting energy into barriers. Though she hides a mystical power within herself linking her to the forest's guardian dragon, she is usually a kind girl who treasures her childhood friend and older brother. "
Random little theory. Maybe we don't see more of Longirsu because he dies. As you mentioned, Dingirsu is very large, and in Orcust Crescendo, we see that Dingirsu is coming up out of the ground, smashing it apart, right at Longirsu's feet. He could easily have been mortally wounded by something like that. But his story might not end there. Lib now has the World Key, an object made from Avida who was powerful enough to rebuild the world and stop it from ending. Keys themselves are used to open doors, like the saying meaning new opportunities. So maybe, as everything came to an end, Lib found Longirsu dying and was unable to save him. So he asked her, realizing all the mistakes he made along the way, to use the power of the Key to fuse him and Dingirsu so that he can protect the world as the Mekk-Knights are gone. She agrees and he gives her his scarf thing to remember him by. She fuses the two, rebuilding them into Mekk-Knight Orcust Girsu. The power of Avram helps to move his old friend to a new path that he was always meant to walk (maybe having been the one to inspire Avram to fight in the first place like it says on Beckoned and this being why he slightly resembles Blue Sky). Lib then ties her ribbon to Girsu's arm, not only for him to remember her by, but to help him hold on to his humanity as he is now fully machine. I think this would also be poetic as the world ended with the Morning Star and would then be protected forevermore by the Evening Star. This showing that while the morning is light and the evening is dark, these distinctions can't prove if something is good or not. Like Lee. Or like the World Legacies themselves, having been symbols of hope that the world could be saved, but eventually being the cause of it's near end. Also, I don't think that Lee suddenly has a change of heart in Bestowal. What I think may have happened is that Lee, having been one of the scientists that ended the world, felt like she had to do something to fix it. However, as Morning Star had just proved, their grasp on this technology wasn't sufficient. She then entered into the World Gear to gain more knowledge of the tech and the Legacies, but was then trapped within it. So she sent out the hologram of herself to lead heroes on what she thought was the right path. But the same problem with Morning Star began to arise in her hologram's AI and all she could do was watch as another of her creations brought about the end of the world.
It's kinda sad to see Avram sacrifice himself at the end. I was hoping for a moment where the original team could all just come back together in the end and just have a reunion. Team World Chalice back together again.
And in World Legacy Struggle, ningirsu isn't there, so he probably didn't see Ib kill herself, and assumed that Avram killed her. Also might explain why he took one of the swords (probably the one stained with her blood)
@@warriorofgod2700 It's either that or after Avram explains it, Ningirsu blames Avram for Ib's death. This is also likely why Maximus and Longirsu clash at Babel. If I had to guess it's that resentment that lead to a situation that that Maximus never wanted to happen in the first place.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how de-powered Ningirsu tanked all the Knightmares on his own? Talk about Auram all you want, but 'girsu was truly best boy; his only sin was that he cared too much.
Naaah, better just badly invest on a dumb series that is an insult to all the previous Yu-Gi-Oh! series (I'm talking about that cap of Sevens). 100% sure if they made anime series about card's lores, they would attract a lot of attention and interest
@@jamesgazeley Wait for people to realize how dumb is to waste 300€ of a waifu deck to then getting half of it banned 2 months later, to then switch to a new deck and get the same fate over and over
26:00 You mention the Knightmare tie-in to music, which I never noticed so I googled it and the fandom page came up with a nice table tying them together. It's not subtle; their faces are literally musical symbols (albeit not common ones): Cerberus - Dal segno Goblin - Double repetition mark Gryphon - Alla breve Mermaid - Fermata Phoenix - Coda Unicorn - Sustain pedal (up)
Orcustrated = orchestrated Orcust crescendo, crescendo means an increase of the intensity of the playing If you're a musician you can see the tie-ins in music in these cards Also, I really love how the poses in Ib transformations resembles one another
I'm pretty sure that Dingirsu came late to the battle after he fought the knightmares And so he found Ib impaled with Avram's sword and got the wrong idea which is why he's so mad

I loved your take on the lore, although, I have to say there's still some things worth thinking about : 1- A-Vida is litteraly this lore's version of Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth and Tierra, so there has to be a link with Duel Terminal. 2- There's also the fact that Vanilla Ib's original text mentions a dragon's spirit, which is more likely Justicia, yet they "discover" the Chalice. That could mean the guardragons spirits could have appeared on locations different from their World Legacy counterparts, which is weird. 3- How did the scientists obtain the key? And where is Morning Star? Did he just blow up the entire world and exploded? 4- We assume that World Legacy Ark just appeared after the other 6 came close to each other (Chalice who at this point is litteraly the body of Ib, Crown on the head of Maximus, Lance, Shield, Armor on Ningirsu [dat boy was OP as hell] and Wand on top of Babel) but we don't even know why they were even there. 5 - Blue Sky is most likely the Hero mentionned in Vanilla's Auram text. Which also makes a link with the number of Mekk-Knights he was leading, 6, and the number of allies Auram has at the very end (Ib, Ningirsu, Spatha, Regulex, Magius, Almarduke) which is also 6. 6 - What was Lee handling so dearly? In the art it really looked like she wanted to protect something really precious to her, almost as if it was a baby. There was this theory going around stating that Demiurgear wasn't Lee herself, but actually her baby who might have inherited the Legacies Power when Morning Star yeeted eveything, somehow. 7 - Because this story revolves around the number 7, here's probably the truest fact about this lore : Konami sucks at importing card's text from OCG.
My theory: The lab in World Legacy Memory is in Babel. Means that lab is the same lab in Orcustrated Return. After Ib died, Grisu took her back to where it all started. The facility is powered by World Wand. Its power is literally to Frankenstein people back to life, hence why the Orcust are all about banishing from grave and recycling. So the Core of Babel is where people are re-animated. Also, imagine if the disembodied voice of Lee whispered in Grisu's ear and told him to go to Babel.
I haven't seen much YuGi lore videos, 'cus everytime I try to watch one, is boring or not that interesting. You made this simple and entertaining, and that hour-long video felt like 10 minutes. Props to both of you! Keep making this amazing content and you'll grow fast and large in the YuGiTube community. Thank you so much for this amazing video!
Omg this is so sweet I can’t 😭😭💕 thank you SO much. We really loved making this, and we hope to do even more because it was so worth it! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and we hope to get even better! ❤️ we try to make content that we would enjoy, and I never want to watch a video back and feel bored-god what a nightmare! So this comment really just made my day!
Something to also note is that Galatea's weapon isn't actually a sword--it's a scythe, like what a reaper would use, and sort of foreshadows her later form. I'd also wager that Auram was more then a "childhood friend" and likely a love interest, though Ningirsu would never believe or accept it. And then for Avida to come in and "reset" the World (by putting every card back into the deck), and for Ib to carry Auram with her forever in the form of the Key, even thought it's got a Dark attribute...damn, I'd watch that series!
YES. I’ve been waiting so long for a well made depiction of World Legacy lore- world chalice has been my favorite archetype for a long time so seeing the characters finally get their story told in a video of this quality is a dream come true :))) Day 62 of waiting for Ib to be unbanned
Loved this. Great job you two! So the thing was that Ningirsu didn't arrive to Avram and Iblee's fight until she had already killed herself because he was stuck fighting the Knightmares. When he arrived it looked like Avram had killed his sister instead of saving her so that ignited his hatred for Avram. Ningirsu's corruption started either when he was fighting the Knightmares (no way his weakened self won that fight (maybe the just disappeared when she died)) or during his grief-stricken state where Lee's song of evil could inspire him to be able to create the Orcust and continue collecting the World Legacies and that's why the musical theme connects the Orcusts and the Knightmares.
I don't really play any Yugioh nowadays, but I became aware of the World Legacy lore through a Duel Logs video and thought it was super cool. So I searched for a full explanation and found your video. I legitimately watched this like a movie and was super enthralled the whole way. I got so invested in the story and your nearly feature-length re-telling that I shed a few tears towards the end. I think it's incredibly fascinating that Konami created this genuinely intriguing world and told its tale entirely through one of the most unorthodox formats I've ever seen (that being trading cards). I might start playing casually again just so I can try out some of these archetypes. Thanks a ton for putting this together! I'll be sure to also watch the follow-up, which seemingly turned out to be significantly longer than 10 minutes. But that'll have to wait for another day since I don't usually watch two movies back-to-back haha
I’m super happy you stumbled upon this and enjoyed it! This video is my baby, and what put the channel on the map back when we first started ❤️ so I hope you enjoy the follow up along with the Buster blader lore, etc.! I hardly have time to commit to these projects nowadays but I really do want to bring this back, so thank you for reminding me how rewarding it is. ❤️
I’m currently having to work from home because of the c word and this has made it so much better! This is one of my favourite videos on UA-cam. I love lore stuff and this was brilliant, you really should be proud of yourself on this. A noble knights one could be quite interesting too. Also... Naturia Beans needs a secret rare reprint.
I’ve wanted to do noble knights so that will definitely come in the future!! I’m so glad you like this!! I wanted to have one that was totally complete and I really am proud of it 😭😭❤️
It's also cool how Avram is all about adding things to himself at the beginning (I.e. Mekk pieces), and he ends up fixing the gears of the world. It's literally called a gear. He was literally chosen for this because of who he is as a person. This video blew my mind open. It resonated with me on so many levels.
So I was browsing the yugioh wikis to find some tech cards for deck building, and noticed that World Gears' Japanese name translates to "Star God Vessel, Dimiurgear". For those that weren't aware, "Star God" is the ocg series name for Avida, Rebuilder of Worlds; Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth; and Tierra, Source of Destruction. Which means that World Gears (or rather, the World Legacy artifacts themselves) are somehow also directly connected to Sophia and Tierra. Sophia has connections to both Nekroz and Zefra. The wiki says that Tierra is related to the Qli, and also mentions that Dimiurgear itself resembles a Qli monster. And we all know the Qli are one of the most notorious archetypes in the entire Yugioh lore and are connected to a bunch of other archetypes. It seems like the cycle in the Yugioh world keeps repeating itself: sh*t hits the fan, then a Star God has to be summoned/created to clean it up (Sophia, Avida), OR a Star God becomes The Big Bad(TM), and heroes need to team up to destroy it. When you realize how much everything inter-connects, it literally blows the mind. Konami really, really, REALLY need to consider making at least a book series for Yugioh. MTG has massive amount of lore, and the books do really well sales wise. I'm sure a Yugioh book series would be just as successful. And a sidenote, both Sophia and Tierra's Japanese names are "Creator Star God", while Avida's is "Dual Star God". So does Avida have both Sophia's and Tierra's powers? Since Dimiurgear is called a vessel, does it "store" the power of a Star God? Or maybe stole it? Maybe the World Legacy artifacts had collected it somehow? My brain hurts... lol
if you look at the card "oracle of zefra" it resembles the shining coloured orbs that each of the mekk-knights have. maybe... has connection to the mekk-knights in some timeline
also if you read "oracle of zefra" it has effects referring to each type of extra deck monster: Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, but not link monster of course.. and iblee controls these "linked monsters" she made from the original mekk knight crystal things that may be from the oracle of zefra , a new type of monster idk ;c but just a thought lol
Also lastly to note... Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth's card effect, to summon her you have to banish 1 of each extra deck monster type (ritual not extra deck but ya) Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz... so how you say it seems to always repeat itself, someone tries to take the original powers too far and need a creator god to come clean things up.. Its like every time theres a new special summon/extra monster type... the story repeats itself. so maybe if we get something again after links then all this will happen again and we need a huge star god to clean things up after people try to take powers in their own hands.. powers they shouldnt mess with. haha
I tried watching this lore a couple of times before but my brain would just get brainfarts along the way and I'd just loose the train of tought, but honestly 30mins into this I love the way you tell the story And even tho I'm a pretty new sub, you guys are really growing on me fast, love all the content you guys put out, and keep up the good work!!
4:09 Doesn't Beckoned have gears in his background? Also, in Orcustrated Release, Galatea's Avram sword is glowing yellow, just like when Ib sacrificed herself.
Here is other lore that i remembered : -duel terminal -true draco -spellbook vs Endymion -darklord rebellion -lightsworn vs darkworld -atlantean invasion (btw if you didn't know, this story is happened on the destroyed lightsworn base that was sunken into the sea) -zombie world -mayakashi vs shiranui -six samurai -sangan adventure Hope you guys have time to make those in the future. Keep it up guys, loving your content so far!!
Please absolutely do more lore videos!!! I love the lores behind our favorite archetypes and I love ur guys energy and the way u make yugioh even more fun than it already is. I personally would love a short video on the longirsu subject u didn't get to talk about. Love u guys!!! Crush Cards fam for life!!!
@@CrushCards i can't wait to see what u guys come up with. Btw if I were to get a field center or possibly have a card. Is there anyway I can go about getting u guys to sign it??
Kevin Gardner of course! We have the PayPal for our field centers in the description. If you put in a note asking us to sign it, we’d be more than happy to do so! :D shopping is always free also! 🤗
There's already videos about the duel terminal lore (all of them are connected so start with dt1) but they end with the tiera fight because of the distance between new cards (took like 2-3 years to get the new support that adds to the story)
It's really frustrating, cause it seems like the Knightmares all have effects that correspond to a Mekk-Knight, just not the one they share a colour with: - Mermaid and Purple both tutor cards from deck - Goblin and Orange both help summon monsters from hand - Phoenix and Yellow both pop backrow - Cerberus and Red both pop monsters - Gryphon and Green both recur cards from the GY - Unicorn and Indigo admittedly don't have that much in common, but I guess Indigo moves/shuffles around on the field? (Quite a stretch lol) Maybe I'm missing something, but it seriously feels like a major missed opportunity to switch the effects of the Knightmares to correspond to the Mekk-Knights.
I'm glad there is love for this lore from others just like how I grew to love it! Thanks for going through all of the journey's of the World Chalice gang!
@@EDantheNemesis Not really thou it connects many of the archtypes there are many flaws its the same thing with the zefra things to but what can you do
@@therealduelist8397 i think they will connect everything soon. But the card "Oracle of Zefra" is originally where the mekk-knights got their powers / came from. u can see their glowing orbs are in the oracle of zefra- i believe
I've watched this video like 12 times now. I love this lore and I really appreciate that you guys put so much effort into it instead of dumping it all out in like 10 minutes.
I feel like I just binged an emotional shonen anime with this LOL I was rooting for avram, I was sympathetic to ningrisu, I mourned draco. I have a mekknight deck i played because I enjoyed the jank column abuse that no one understood but I have a deeper appreciation for the deck and the monsters in it. I’m also torn between secrets at 3 now because on the one hand- it’s so good in the deck, but on the other hand I’m reliving Ib’s condemnation over and over and over LOL
YO so what if the new world they create is actually the duel terminal world, and the mekk knights are reincarnated as the gem knights, and Avida is actually sophia and tierra?
Genosis pretty sure the duel terminal all happens before this does, after sombre and kerykeion stole the power from Sophia and broke the cycle of reincarnation.
The reason for mekknight orcus is longirsu he became Dingi, and almost died in Orcust cresendo, he survived and custom himself the armor and took the meknight persona in remembers of his fallen friend. Remember Avram allways wanted to be a mekKnight from the vanilla text of Chosen
This is some Kingdom Hearts type lore. I also really want to make a Guard Dragon + Dragon Ruler deck, I see some synergy with the elements and the discard effects.
I have a newfound respect for World Chalice, Crusadia and even Orcust.... Thanks for making this video learned a lot and blew my mind honestly with how deep the lore is.
AND THERES SO MUCH MORE ITS CRAZY!! I cut so much from this video for time, I’m going to do a bonus video later this week to talk more about the orcust lore in depth! There’s so much mythology! ❤️
I think the "beef" between girsu and maximus stemmed from Ib killing herself. Girsu came in a little later seeing only his sister being stabbed with the blade, the blade maximus wielded. Now he thinks max killed his sister that is why he hated max whilst not knowing that Ib killed herself.
No matter how many times I look for people talking about the World Legacy lore, there's always something new to discover and something I question and disagree with. One thing I noticed others have mentioned that you did not is that, when you analyze the card art of certain cards carefully enough, you can connect the dots and conclude that the World Legacy storyline is a continuation of the Duel Terminal lore. One point that I always thought was interesting was that when Lee reached her final Knightmarish form, she bore a resemblance to Sophia, the Goddess of Rebirth, a (bad and often forgotten) Duel Terminal card that wields the powers of light and dark in order to both destroy and recreate worlds. That caused me to theorize that Sofia, once vanquished long ago when she attempted to purge Duel Terminal of life, never truly died and has been present pulling the strings behind all of this the whole time in order to fulfill her divine role of destroying and and rebuilding--that the rampage of Morning Star was no accident but rather the intentional sabotage of Sophia working through Lee. And wouldn't you know it, she sort of succeeded in the end: after the world had been decimated in the final battle, Avida the Rebuilder of Worlds recreates what had been destroyed. Another thing I've always wondered about is what Lee was clutching so fiercely to when Avramax found her in the World Gears. This is just my own romantic little headcanon theory, but the idea I concocted in my head was that Lee and Blue Sky were once lovers and what she is holding is what is left of Blue Sky's soul or at least a fragment of it. The story would go something like this: the Mekk-Knights (Psychics, not Machines) were once mortals like the other inhabitants of this world, but they were upgraded with experimental technology and the power of the World Legacies to be the defenders of the world. Yet they lost a portion of their souls--of who they were--in the process. Lee and the other scientists had already discovered the remnants of Sophia at this point and given her life again in the form of an AI hologram fashioned after Lee, and when Lee realized her lover was not entirely himself anymore--that the portion of his soul which had loved her back was dead and gone--she fell into a depression and made a deal with Sophia in order to reunite with that part of Blue Sky's soul within the World Chalice. In exchange, she gave Sophia the physical form needed to corrupt the experimental Morning Star and send it on a rampage, among all the other things Sophia did. Something like, "I don't care what happens to this cursed world anymore; you can use me to destroy it as long as I get to be with my beloved again." That comes full circle in the end when Avramax, who has Blue Star's power and legacy with him, reaches out to Lee after the World Legacies have merged together and offers her one more chance to let go of what is gone and do what is right, convincing Lee to use her connection to Sophia to bestow Avramax, now Avida, with the goddess's power of rebirth.
The story telling was nice. Also.. when you showed the pics of the cards on screen I was able to make a better perception of the story you were saying.. so maybe in the future you can add the pic as well as show the card... idk just a random idea
46:42 also it's worth noting that Guardragon Justicia and Ib share the same atk/def stats, not only the water attribute and the vanila condition. I find it really cool. Great video btw! I can't imagine the amount of work it took for you to piece this all together >< It's just amazing. Subscribed
One of the most entertaining stories I’ve ever heard can’t thank y’all enough!! 🙌 Definitely would love to see more lore videos (also True Draco up next would be dope but I’ll watch whatever y’all post next).
I am half way through the video and I have to say I appreciate the extreme detail and planning that went into the cards!😱 Also Logan the dedication and hard work you put into making this video is incredible! The insane amount of effort you put into this video really shows! Thank you!😎
Please make more videos like this one. I am currently trying to get (back) into Yu-Gi-Oh and honestly, videos like this one make me all the more excited to pick Yu-Gi-Oh up as a hobby again. Not even because it's impactful on the gameplay, but because it makes the gameplay more "meaningful" and you can pay more respect to both your and your opponent's cards, in a way. It makes the experience more "complete". So, again, keep it up, I can't wait for more lore videos. You presented it very nicely and easy to understand.
Awh omg thank you!! We definitely plan to! We just released a deeper dive into the lore of the world legacy yesterday too if you want to check it out!! ❤️ I’m glad this is motivating and entertaining for you, and we DEFINITELY are doing more!!!
as a fan of yugioh, my dream is to make a movie series of the different stories and lore in yugioh, starting with the most well known, duel terminal. movie series one will be about the events of sophia the goddess of rebirth with the steelswarm, vylon, and so on, but adding a few other archtypes into the mix, some new, some old (quite literally new, as in i made these cards for the story) series 2 will be a continuation of 1, where phase 2 of duel terminal happens following the qliphorts and so forth. after that it'd be a bunch of movies/shorts based on yugioh lore, such as buster, the forbidden items, zera, and so forth. i'm hoping the world chalice will be a full lengthed film of live action in the duel monster world, instead of cards, cause that's what movie series 1 and 2 would be in a sense
Yes!! I’m gonna talk about it in the orcust lore video that I’m putting up! I didn’t have enough time to devote everything I wanted to say to orcust in this video, so I’ll be making another short one soon
This is awesome, have never found out where to find it myself nor would I have the patience to do so but awesome video here Logan, also interesting in how there effects can be tied to their Lore. Here is an interesting thought as well, with the Mekk Knights maintaining the balance they can be used in Response to your opponent setting up a column. So your opponent takes an action that could upset the balance and a Mekk-Knight responds by Special Summoning
Something that I believe, is that Crusadia Equimax is the closest thing we get to a Knightmare version of Blue Sky. Think about it. Avram gains an ability that involves link monsters, all Knightmares are mythical creatures and Equimax is a Centaur, and that’s really all I’ve got
This is SO good. Had to watch in two sittings, but took in the whole thing and loved it. Started following you the first time that Lauren got an invite playing Paleo-Frogs and this channel is top-tier Yugituber realness. I love this.
Personally, I agree with 99% of this save for memory and morning star. While I'm still not sure where M.S. fits in I actually think Memory is the Crusadia team and Lee in the aftermath of the recreation discovering the truth of past events in their new lives
lmfao i cant care that this video is over an hour long this is my favourite lore of yugioh and i HAD to watch this when you put it up thanks for this!!
@@CrushCardsThanks! I would love to see more of this stuff! (edit) wow this is the first time a youtuber has replied to my comment whoo! my fav. lore on youtube AND a youtuber commenting on my comment?? made my day!
The quality of this video is insane, you guys picked up on so many little details and that theory about the Mekk Knights really helps to explain why Morning Star is a Machine while the rest are Psychic and why it doesn't have a color associated with it.
🤗🤗 yay!!! we’re so glad you enjoyed it!!! The buster blader lore is coming Thursday and I can’t WAIT! It won’t be as long but it’s definitely a journey!
Konami better pull an Arcane and make this a whole ducking series. Also, I rly liked the narration. It wasn't plain and just "this and that happened". It felt a lot more interesting with the delivery that you both offered. Awesome work on actually getting all these cards, it's cool to see all of them together with their counterparts
I love these archetypes and their surrounding lore so much, when I initially got more into yugioh (apart from being into it as a kid) these were just releasing, and it was so fascinating to me how awesome the worldbuilding and storytelling was via cards. Now getting back into yugioh again (just as Albaz lore is wrapping up, fitting timing) and I wanted to revisit my favorite story in the world of yugioh and you explained it very clearly and it was a pleasure to remind myself of this all!
@@CrushCards From what I already knew of the story, I'd grown a fondness for the World Chalice group, the Mekk-Knights, the Knightmares (It's really sad how they were all corrupted) and most recently (over the last few days) the Crusadia. . Seeing how everything falls into place beyond what I already knew was the icing on the cake. . I wonder if somewhere later down the road they'll do alternative story paths where maybe something like Longirsu gets Red Moon's Axe, Blue Sky gets turned into a Knightmare and Auram gets corrupted in some way too. There are several instances of choices as well so there could be instances of the opposite outcomes as well. . If they did, I wonder if you'd revisit the story and update the information.
This Story is actually so good. As many comments said, it would be worth to get a Movie.. or even in general. YuHiOh Archetypes have often pretty intresting Stories to tell... Its so sad that its more or less wasted to be left on imagination. If theyd release a Manga/Series for the Lores - even if they started at point Zero Dark Magicain and stuff. Id be mega hyped
1) just found you two and I gotta say: it’s so cool to see other couples playing yugioh together. 2) appreciate the lore vid. Crusadias have been one my favorite decks and I always wondered about the lore surrounding the cards. So thank you.
Awh thank you! ♥️ we really appreciate you coming and watching! ♥️ weve come a LOOOONG way from this video, and we’re grateful to make content for y’all. The world legacy has a special place in my heart and I’m glad I was able to make this for everyone
World legacy has to be my favorite lore, I really enjoyed this video, it felt like it was 15 minutes long, liked, fav and suscribed as soon as it finished, great job

BONUS: I will be covering the Orpheus lore as it pertains to Orcust in a short video this week! I had it filmed originally in the video, but had to cut for time’s sake (the video was 2 hours and I figured I could talk about it later) but I did not forget! So if you would be interested in knowing more of the mythology on Orpheus and Orcust, it’s coming!!! Thank you guys so much for being here and watching, y’all mean the whole world to us! ❤️
Noble knight
As someone who is more of a collector then a player. I find these lore videos very interesting. I love how yugioh card art have stories hidden in them.
Shadow Kin we do too!! We have a few more planned now that we know there are interests in them
Arent krawlers related too...?
you should do Nekroz,Shaddoll and Zefra that'd be awesome
World legacy archetype needs a movie for how cool it is
Edit: wow so many likes :)
Ikr there is soo much lore and its really cool the way that they put a story with multiple archetypes interacting in different ways with eachother. I could seriously see this as a movie.
You’re darn right it does sign me up!!
It would be like a series of movies like star wars
DimAura that would be amazing! But hopefully episodes 7, 8, & 9 aren’t as bad at star wars 😂😅🙏🏼
@@CrushCards lol, we have to hope.
I’d rather have the yugioh anime be based on lore like this than dueling on surfborts in cyberspace
A whole mood 😂
I'd settle for it in manga form even
@@medievalmaxe well considering the current manga is more targetted to actual players, we might just see one based on the entire duel terminal/world legacy lore after this
Jake Griffith Maybe have this play out in Duel form?
So true, man. The anime is so bad compared to card lores like World legacy, Different Dimension, six samurai and all that cool stuff
11:26 "Is essentially the power rangers of yugioh" *talks about Mekk-Knights*
Sad Super Quantum Noises....
😂😂 super quantums are power rangers too!!!
Γρηγόρης Αράπης power rangers are like kamen riders which are exactly what masked heroes are based off so mekk knights are actually e heroes 🦸♂️
I thought those were Inzektors, their art style is inspired by them
@@eduardosantillan3048 inzektors are actually based on kamen rider, specifically kamen rider kabuto, with the insect theme and similar weapons(dragonfly using a gun, the hornet uses a weapon attatched to his arm, etc.), not power rangers. Heck, their name in inZECTors, and ZECT is the name of the main organization in kabuto, along with ZECTORS being the transformation items
@@e-tan3911 power rangers is western adaptation of kamen rider so its close enough to say they are power rangers imo. still cool trivia you shared i appreciate it
I cannot tell you enough how much I love that you did this all in one video rather than splitting it up into parts
I did it for y’all!! ❤️ i know a lot of other people started it and forgot about it, but not me, I COMMIT!!
The reason Ib plays an important role and has the "key" is given to us through the OCG flavour text for Crowned by the World Chalice. Konami really couldn't be arsed to give TCG players the in-depth flavour text.
"A priestess who offers requiem prayers to the celestial deity of the planet.
The staff she has obtained is a ritual tool handed down through generations, used to guard the people of the forest from the rule of the Jack-Knights by converting energy into barriers. Though she hides a mystical power within herself linking her to the forest's guardian dragon, she is usually a kind girl who treasures her childhood friend and older brother.
"
Was auram her childhood friend ?
@@validity7256yep!
Really like how this mentions Jack-knights really like expanding the lore
30:17 "Mr. Avram…I don't feel so good…"
😂😂😂😂
Random little theory. Maybe we don't see more of Longirsu because he dies. As you mentioned, Dingirsu is very large, and in Orcust Crescendo, we see that Dingirsu is coming up out of the ground, smashing it apart, right at Longirsu's feet. He could easily have been mortally wounded by something like that. But his story might not end there. Lib now has the World Key, an object made from Avida who was powerful enough to rebuild the world and stop it from ending. Keys themselves are used to open doors, like the saying meaning new opportunities. So maybe, as everything came to an end, Lib found Longirsu dying and was unable to save him. So he asked her, realizing all the mistakes he made along the way, to use the power of the Key to fuse him and Dingirsu so that he can protect the world as the Mekk-Knights are gone. She agrees and he gives her his scarf thing to remember him by. She fuses the two, rebuilding them into Mekk-Knight Orcust Girsu. The power of Avram helps to move his old friend to a new path that he was always meant to walk (maybe having been the one to inspire Avram to fight in the first place like it says on Beckoned and this being why he slightly resembles Blue Sky). Lib then ties her ribbon to Girsu's arm, not only for him to remember her by, but to help him hold on to his humanity as he is now fully machine. I think this would also be poetic as the world ended with the Morning Star and would then be protected forevermore by the Evening Star. This showing that while the morning is light and the evening is dark, these distinctions can't prove if something is good or not. Like Lee. Or like the World Legacies themselves, having been symbols of hope that the world could be saved, but eventually being the cause of it's near end.
Also, I don't think that Lee suddenly has a change of heart in Bestowal. What I think may have happened is that Lee, having been one of the scientists that ended the world, felt like she had to do something to fix it. However, as Morning Star had just proved, their grasp on this technology wasn't sufficient. She then entered into the World Gear to gain more knowledge of the tech and the Legacies, but was then trapped within it. So she sent out the hologram of herself to lead heroes on what she thought was the right path. But the same problem with Morning Star began to arise in her hologram's AI and all she could do was watch as another of her creations brought about the end of the world.
Well, you can say that the ribbon "ties up" the whole story. I mean who doesn't like ending things with puns?
@@spirameowmeow I vigorously approve.
It's kinda sad to see Avram sacrifice himself at the end. I was hoping for a moment where the original team could all just come back together in the end and just have a reunion.
Team World Chalice back together again.
@@joshlegacy1101 There's still a chance that day will come. In fact that's what I'm really hoping for.
@Permix TG
Bruh that was beautifully written. You should write for real
Ib: Man I’m having a fun time with my friend and family on this adventure!
Lee: Hey kid, wanna get some power?
I think that ningirsu turns evil because he thinks ib was killed by avram (because she stabbed herself with his sword)
That makes a lot of sense!!! 10/10! ✨
And in World Legacy Struggle, ningirsu isn't there, so he probably didn't see Ib kill herself, and assumed that Avram killed her. Also might explain why he took one of the swords (probably the one stained with her blood)
@@warriorofgod2700 It's either that or after Avram explains it, Ningirsu blames Avram for Ib's death. This is also likely why Maximus and Longirsu clash at Babel. If I had to guess it's that resentment that lead to a situation that that Maximus never wanted to happen in the first place.
This would make a great anime
Say less
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how de-powered Ningirsu tanked all the Knightmares on his own?
Talk about Auram all you want, but 'girsu was truly best boy; his only sin was that he cared too much.
Girsu :gigachad:
My question is how tf did he tank stronger opponents WHILE being de-powered but couldnt beat mekk knights while being poweref 💀
@@Laki071 I think the nightmares are weaker than the Mekk-knights.
@@Laki071 Maybe he was a dodge-tank.
The mekk knights are physically stronger than the knightmares.
Does Konami realize how much money they could make if they turned this into a video game, movie, comic, etc.?
SOO many movies!
Like MCU levels of film money.
@@mad4song01 For real. They told a gripping story with just some pictures. Imagine what they could do with other media.
Nothing cause meta and waifus makes more
Naaah, better just badly invest on a dumb series that is an insult to all the previous Yu-Gi-Oh! series (I'm talking about that cap of Sevens).
100% sure if they made anime series about card's lores, they would attract a lot of attention and interest
@@jamesgazeley Wait for people to realize how dumb is to waste 300€ of a waifu deck to then getting half of it banned 2 months later, to then switch to a new deck and get the same fate over and over
26:00 You mention the Knightmare tie-in to music, which I never noticed so I googled it and the fandom page came up with a nice table tying them together. It's not subtle; their faces are literally musical symbols (albeit not common ones):
Cerberus - Dal segno
Goblin - Double repetition mark
Gryphon - Alla breve
Mermaid - Fermata
Phoenix - Coda
Unicorn - Sustain pedal (up)
Yeah I’m just not familiar with musical symbols so I didn’t know them well enough off hand, but I’m glad you looked them up!! 😊
Orcustrated = orchestrated
Orcust crescendo, crescendo means an increase of the intensity of the playing
If you're a musician you can see the tie-ins in music in these cards
Also, I really love how the poses in Ib transformations resembles one another
I'm pretty sure that Dingirsu came late to the battle after he fought the knightmares
And so he found Ib impaled with Avram's sword and got the wrong idea which is why he's so mad

I loved your take on the lore, although, I have to say there's still some things worth thinking about :
1- A-Vida is litteraly this lore's version of Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth and Tierra, so there has to be a link with Duel Terminal.
2- There's also the fact that Vanilla Ib's original text mentions a dragon's spirit, which is more likely Justicia, yet they "discover" the Chalice. That could mean the guardragons spirits could have appeared on locations different from their World Legacy counterparts, which is weird.
3- How did the scientists obtain the key? And where is Morning Star? Did he just blow up the entire world and exploded?
4- We assume that World Legacy Ark just appeared after the other 6 came close to each other (Chalice who at this point is litteraly the body of Ib, Crown on the head of Maximus, Lance, Shield, Armor on Ningirsu [dat boy was OP as hell] and Wand on top of Babel) but we don't even know why they were even there.
5 - Blue Sky is most likely the Hero mentionned in Vanilla's Auram text. Which also makes a link with the number of Mekk-Knights he was leading, 6, and the number of allies Auram has at the very end (Ib, Ningirsu, Spatha, Regulex, Magius, Almarduke) which is also 6.
6 - What was Lee handling so dearly? In the art it really looked like she wanted to protect something really precious to her, almost as if it was a baby. There was this theory going around stating that Demiurgear wasn't Lee herself, but actually her baby who might have inherited the Legacies Power when Morning Star yeeted eveything, somehow.
7 - Because this story revolves around the number 7, here's probably the truest fact about this lore : Konami sucks at importing card's text from OCG.
CHECK THIS OUT
My theory:
The lab in World Legacy Memory is in Babel. Means that lab is the same lab in Orcustrated Return. After Ib died, Grisu took her back to where it all started. The facility is powered by World Wand. Its power is literally to Frankenstein people back to life, hence why the Orcust are all about banishing from grave and recycling. So the Core of Babel is where people are re-animated.
Also, imagine if the disembodied voice of Lee whispered in Grisu's ear and told him to go to Babel.
but ALSO babel was made To see how far MAN could reach into HAVEN, Basically play god.
but ALSO babel was made To see how far MAN could reach into HAVEN, Basically play god.
Master duel has proven this wrong, it was ningirsu first lab lmao.
@@r3zaful that's the good and bad part about solidifying the lore.
I haven't seen much YuGi lore videos, 'cus everytime I try to watch one, is boring or not that interesting. You made this simple and entertaining, and that hour-long video felt like 10 minutes.
Props to both of you!
Keep making this amazing content and you'll grow fast and large in the YuGiTube community.
Thank you so much for this amazing video!
Omg this is so sweet I can’t 😭😭💕 thank you SO much. We really loved making this, and we hope to do even more because it was so worth it! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and we hope to get even better! ❤️ we try to make content that we would enjoy, and I never want to watch a video back and feel bored-god what a nightmare! So this comment really just made my day!
Gunsblazing yu-gi-oh lore videos are really good if you want some other lore videos that are not boring.
Something to also note is that Galatea's weapon isn't actually a sword--it's a scythe, like what a reaper would use, and sort of foreshadows her later form. I'd also wager that Auram was more then a "childhood friend" and likely a love interest, though Ningirsu would never believe or accept it. And then for Avida to come in and "reset" the World (by putting every card back into the deck), and for Ib to carry Auram with her forever in the form of the Key, even thought it's got a Dark attribute...damn, I'd watch that series!
Yeah, in japan, there is a trope for childhood friends becoming lover. I'm pretty sure that is what is going on
YES. I’ve been waiting so long for a well made depiction of World Legacy lore- world chalice has been my favorite archetype for a long time so seeing the characters finally get their story told in a video of this quality is a dream come true :)))
Day 62 of waiting for Ib to be unbanned
Darklord lore:
*READ THE BIBLE*
Hey that's Lightsworn lore, too!
I got confused and read Dante’s inferno trilogy....same result?
@@anthonyg5001 no that's burning abyss lore lol, close though
Instructions unclear. I read Dante's Inferno instead
... it says "The Bibble".
Loved this. Great job you two! So the thing was that Ningirsu didn't arrive to Avram and Iblee's fight until she had already killed herself because he was stuck fighting the Knightmares. When he arrived it looked like Avram had killed his sister instead of saving her so that ignited his hatred for Avram. Ningirsu's corruption started either when he was fighting the Knightmares (no way his weakened self won that fight (maybe the just disappeared when she died)) or during his grief-stricken state where Lee's song of evil could inspire him to be able to create the Orcust and continue collecting the World Legacies and that's why the musical theme connects the Orcusts and the Knightmares.
I don't really play any Yugioh nowadays, but I became aware of the World Legacy lore through a Duel Logs video and thought it was super cool. So I searched for a full explanation and found your video.
I legitimately watched this like a movie and was super enthralled the whole way. I got so invested in the story and your nearly feature-length re-telling that I shed a few tears towards the end. I think it's incredibly fascinating that Konami created this genuinely intriguing world and told its tale entirely through one of the most unorthodox formats I've ever seen (that being trading cards). I might start playing casually again just so I can try out some of these archetypes.
Thanks a ton for putting this together! I'll be sure to also watch the follow-up, which seemingly turned out to be significantly longer than 10 minutes. But that'll have to wait for another day since I don't usually watch two movies back-to-back haha
I’m super happy you stumbled upon this and enjoyed it! This video is my baby, and what put the channel on the map back when we first started ❤️ so I hope you enjoy the follow up along with the Buster blader lore, etc.! I hardly have time to commit to these projects nowadays but I really do want to bring this back, so thank you for reminding me how rewarding it is. ❤️
I’m currently having to work from home because of the c word and this has made it so much better!
This is one of my favourite videos on UA-cam. I love lore stuff and this was brilliant, you really should be proud of yourself on this. A noble knights one could be quite interesting too. Also... Naturia Beans needs a secret rare reprint.
I’ve wanted to do noble knights so that will definitely come in the future!! I’m so glad you like this!! I wanted to have one that was totally complete and I really am proud of it 😭😭❤️
What a fantastic video, love that you included the physical cards.
I was honestly surprised that we had most of the cards!!! Yay bulk!! 😂😂
And thank you, it means the world to us!! ❤️❤️
Love me some story time. World Legacy was the first one I discovered that had lore behind it. I’m definitely eager to see more card lore.
Yay!!! 🤗
It's also cool how Avram is all about adding things to himself at the beginning (I.e. Mekk pieces), and he ends up fixing the gears of the world. It's literally called a gear. He was literally chosen for this because of who he is as a person. This video blew my mind open. It resonated with me on so many levels.
So I was browsing the yugioh wikis to find some tech cards for deck building, and noticed that World Gears' Japanese name translates to "Star God Vessel, Dimiurgear". For those that weren't aware, "Star God" is the ocg series name for Avida, Rebuilder of Worlds; Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth; and Tierra, Source of Destruction. Which means that World Gears (or rather, the World Legacy artifacts themselves) are somehow also directly connected to Sophia and Tierra. Sophia has connections to both Nekroz and Zefra. The wiki says that Tierra is related to the Qli, and also mentions that Dimiurgear itself resembles a Qli monster. And we all know the Qli are one of the most notorious archetypes in the entire Yugioh lore and are connected to a bunch of other archetypes. It seems like the cycle in the Yugioh world keeps repeating itself: sh*t hits the fan, then a Star God has to be summoned/created to clean it up (Sophia, Avida), OR a Star God becomes The Big Bad(TM), and heroes need to team up to destroy it. When you realize how much everything inter-connects, it literally blows the mind. Konami really, really, REALLY need to consider making at least a book series for Yugioh. MTG has massive amount of lore, and the books do really well sales wise. I'm sure a Yugioh book series would be just as successful.
And a sidenote, both Sophia and Tierra's Japanese names are "Creator Star God", while Avida's is "Dual Star God". So does Avida have both Sophia's and Tierra's powers? Since Dimiurgear is called a vessel, does it "store" the power of a Star God? Or maybe stole it? Maybe the World Legacy artifacts had collected it somehow? My brain hurts... lol
if you look at the card "oracle of zefra" it resembles the shining coloured orbs that each of the mekk-knights have. maybe... has connection to the mekk-knights in some timeline
also if you read "oracle of zefra" it has effects referring to each type of extra deck monster: Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, but not link monster of course.. and iblee controls these "linked monsters" she made from the original mekk knight crystal things that may be from the oracle of zefra , a new type of monster idk ;c but just a thought lol
Also lastly to note... Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth's card effect, to summon her you have to banish 1 of each extra deck monster type (ritual not extra deck but ya) Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz... so how you say it seems to always repeat itself, someone tries to take the original powers too far and need a creator god to come clean things up.. Its like every time theres a new special summon/extra monster type... the story repeats itself. so maybe if we get something again after links then all this will happen again and we need a huge star god to clean things up after people try to take powers in their own hands.. powers they shouldnt mess with. haha
also, the thing World Chalice Guardragon is chewing looks like Ally Mind, which are the core of Ally of Justice monsters
I think all of the overarching stories are linked in some way.
After the Orpheus lore, I would love to see one specifically about Winda
Heck yeah!!!
I tried watching this lore a couple of times before but my brain would just get brainfarts along the way and I'd just loose the train of tought, but honestly 30mins into this I love the way you tell the story
And even tho I'm a pretty new sub, you guys are really growing on me fast, love all the content you guys put out, and keep up the good work!!
Thank you! I’m really glad you’re enjoying this video!! ❤️❤️ I wanted to go as in depth as possible for y’all! 💓
4:09 Doesn't Beckoned have gears in his background?
Also, in Orcustrated Release, Galatea's Avram sword is glowing yellow, just like when Ib sacrificed herself.
OOoOooHhhhhh snap! 😎

You guys did a PHENOMENAL job with this. The audio is great and the visual cards really show attention to detail. Keep up the great work.
🥺♥️ thank you so much!
This is the best YT video ive seen in a month. Thank you for this video. I play mekk knights because i love the lore. Dont win a lot, but so what?
Can you get into the lore of the Shaddolls? I believe they have a link with Ritual Beasts and Qli
Definitely!!! Planned to! :)
@@CrushCards do all the Duel Terminal timeline! It is awesome :)
Don’t forget gusto
Ritual beast is supposed to be the decendants of the gusto tribe
There's already videos about the duel terminal lore (all of them are connected so start with dt1) but they end with the tiera fight because of the distance between new cards (took like 2-3 years to get the new support that adds to the story)
Thank you! Terrific job, kinda like to collect all this cards! Keep it up. Maybe next time True Draco’s?
It's really frustrating, cause it seems like the Knightmares all have effects that correspond to a Mekk-Knight, just not the one they share a colour with:
- Mermaid and Purple both tutor cards from deck
- Goblin and Orange both help summon monsters from hand
- Phoenix and Yellow both pop backrow
- Cerberus and Red both pop monsters
- Gryphon and Green both recur cards from the GY
- Unicorn and Indigo admittedly don't have that much in common, but I guess Indigo moves/shuffles around on the field? (Quite a stretch lol)
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seriously feels like a major missed opportunity to switch the effects of the Knightmares to correspond to the Mekk-Knights.
Thank you so much for covering this! I’ve been waiting for someone to make this full video!
Of course! More is coming, too!! ❤️❤️
0:48 Dammit Alex (Alek? Still don't know all these TeamAPS guys entirely yet). YOU WERE GETTING TO THE GOOD PART
I'm surprised how closely yall were able to the actual lore in master duels. Nice job!
Thank you! Tried my best haha it’s been years! 💖🤣
I run mekk-knight /crusadia for this specific reason 💪 its a board breaking going second strat and has alot of synergy
I'm glad there is love for this lore from others just like how I grew to love it! Thanks for going through all of the journey's of the World Chalice gang!
Hell yeah!! It’s so good it’s crazy!! There’s literally so much to cover it’s nuts 😂
They should make one archtype that ties everything together like zefra did for all the duel terminal archtypes
World Legacy is kind of this archetype, and even if its not a really good deck itself it is really funny to build and play ;)
@@EDantheNemesis Not really thou it connects many of the archtypes there are many flaws its the same thing with the zefra things to but what can you do
I like the idea of it, if it was targeted at legacy decks, like time theif started messing with the time line and get smited by time wizard
@@therealduelist8397 i think they will connect everything soon. But the card "Oracle of Zefra" is originally where the mekk-knights got their powers / came from. u can see their glowing orbs are in the oracle of zefra- i believe
@@AndreGibsonBeatbox omg I never even concenceived that idea honestly I totally see it
I've watched this video like 12 times now. I love this lore and I really appreciate that you guys put so much effort into it instead of dumping it all out in like 10 minutes.
I feel like I just binged an emotional shonen anime with this LOL I was rooting for avram, I was sympathetic to ningrisu, I mourned draco. I have a mekknight deck i played because I enjoyed the jank column abuse that no one understood but I have a deeper appreciation for the deck and the monsters in it.
I’m also torn between secrets at 3 now because on the one hand- it’s so good in the deck, but on the other hand I’m reliving Ib’s condemnation over and over and over LOL
Been looking for this video for so long! Thank you!
Absolutely!! ❤️
YO so what if the new world they create is actually the duel terminal world, and the mekk knights are reincarnated as the gem knights, and Avida is actually sophia and tierra?
Genosis pretty sure the duel terminal all happens before this does, after sombre and kerykeion stole the power from Sophia and broke the cycle of reincarnation.
And the krawlers are like the worms because flip effects
The reason for mekknight orcus is longirsu he became Dingi, and almost died in Orcust cresendo, he survived and custom himself the armor and took the meknight persona in remembers of his fallen friend. Remember Avram allways wanted to be a mekKnight from the vanilla text of Chosen
Amazing vid you really explained what the artwork on the cards could mean in a great narrative which interested me. Keep up the awesome videos. ^_^
Awh thank you!! I tried my best and hope to do more lore soon!! ❤️❤️
You should do these kinds of these videos often ! Maybe do the Duel Terminal lore or something similar !
Imagine konami do a new yugioh anime with all the lore yugiohcards have ... would be so cool
That's what I'm saying!!
This entire story would make for an AWESOME anime. How cool. Thanks for taking the time to break all of this down and share with us!
Right??!! I completely agree! Thank you for watching, it means the world!!
This is some Kingdom Hearts type lore. I also really want to make a Guard Dragon + Dragon Ruler deck, I see some synergy with the elements and the discard effects.
I have a newfound respect for World Chalice, Crusadia and even Orcust.... Thanks for making this video learned a lot and blew my mind honestly with how deep the lore is.
AND THERES SO MUCH MORE ITS CRAZY!! I cut so much from this video for time, I’m going to do a bonus video later this week to talk more about the orcust lore in depth! There’s so much mythology! ❤️
I think the "beef" between girsu and maximus stemmed from Ib killing herself. Girsu came in a little later seeing only his sister being stabbed with the blade, the blade maximus wielded. Now he thinks max killed his sister that is why he hated max whilst not knowing that Ib killed herself.
No matter how many times I look for people talking about the World Legacy lore, there's always something new to discover and something I question and disagree with. One thing I noticed others have mentioned that you did not is that, when you analyze the card art of certain cards carefully enough, you can connect the dots and conclude that the World Legacy storyline is a continuation of the Duel Terminal lore.
One point that I always thought was interesting was that when Lee reached her final Knightmarish form, she bore a resemblance to Sophia, the Goddess of Rebirth, a (bad and often forgotten) Duel Terminal card that wields the powers of light and dark in order to both destroy and recreate worlds. That caused me to theorize that Sofia, once vanquished long ago when she attempted to purge Duel Terminal of life, never truly died and has been present pulling the strings behind all of this the whole time in order to fulfill her divine role of destroying and and rebuilding--that the rampage of Morning Star was no accident but rather the intentional sabotage of Sophia working through Lee. And wouldn't you know it, she sort of succeeded in the end: after the world had been decimated in the final battle, Avida the Rebuilder of Worlds recreates what had been destroyed.
Another thing I've always wondered about is what Lee was clutching so fiercely to when Avramax found her in the World Gears. This is just my own romantic little headcanon theory, but the idea I concocted in my head was that Lee and Blue Sky were once lovers and what she is holding is what is left of Blue Sky's soul or at least a fragment of it. The story would go something like this: the Mekk-Knights (Psychics, not Machines) were once mortals like the other inhabitants of this world, but they were upgraded with experimental technology and the power of the World Legacies to be the defenders of the world. Yet they lost a portion of their souls--of who they were--in the process. Lee and the other scientists had already discovered the remnants of Sophia at this point and given her life again in the form of an AI hologram fashioned after Lee, and when Lee realized her lover was not entirely himself anymore--that the portion of his soul which had loved her back was dead and gone--she fell into a depression and made a deal with Sophia in order to reunite with that part of Blue Sky's soul within the World Chalice. In exchange, she gave Sophia the physical form needed to corrupt the experimental Morning Star and send it on a rampage, among all the other things Sophia did. Something like, "I don't care what happens to this cursed world anymore; you can use me to destroy it as long as I get to be with my beloved again." That comes full circle in the end when Avramax, who has Blue Star's power and legacy with him, reaches out to Lee after the World Legacies have merged together and offers her one more chance to let go of what is gone and do what is right, convincing Lee to use her connection to Sophia to bestow Avramax, now Avida, with the goddess's power of rebirth.
The story telling was nice. Also.. when you showed the pics of the cards on screen I was able to make a better perception of the story you were saying.. so maybe in the future you can add the pic as well as show the card... idk just a random idea
46:42 also it's worth noting that Guardragon Justicia and Ib share the same atk/def stats, not only the water attribute and the vanila condition. I find it really cool. Great video btw! I can't imagine the amount of work it took for you to piece this all together ><
It's just amazing. Subscribed
One of the most entertaining stories I’ve ever heard can’t thank y’all enough!! 🙌 Definitely would love to see more lore videos (also True Draco up next would be dope but I’ll watch whatever y’all post next).
Omg thank you, you’re so kind!! I can’t wait to do more!
The best one hour I spent on UA-cam. Thank you, you really did an amazing job covering all the lores surrounding world legacy
Thank you! 🥹❤️💜
I am half way through the video and I have to say I appreciate the extreme detail and planning that went into the cards!😱 Also Logan the dedication and hard work you put into making this video is incredible! The insane amount of effort you put into this video really shows! Thank you!😎
❤️😭 thank you 😭 I worked really hard on this it’s my baby!!
Who else is back after Konami releasing half of the lore, just to check how close this video was?
I would love to see an Endymion lore video since we’re getting Selene in duel overload
Ooooh yes!
Please make more videos like this one. I am currently trying to get (back) into Yu-Gi-Oh and honestly, videos like this one make me all the more excited to pick Yu-Gi-Oh up as a hobby again. Not even because it's impactful on the gameplay, but because it makes the gameplay more "meaningful" and you can pay more respect to both your and your opponent's cards, in a way. It makes the experience more "complete". So, again, keep it up, I can't wait for more lore videos. You presented it very nicely and easy to understand.
Awh omg thank you!! We definitely plan to! We just released a deeper dive into the lore of the world legacy yesterday too if you want to check it out!! ❤️ I’m glad this is motivating and entertaining for you, and we DEFINITELY are doing more!!!
as a fan of yugioh, my dream is to make a movie series of the different stories and lore in yugioh, starting with the most well known, duel terminal. movie series one will be about the events of sophia the goddess of rebirth with the steelswarm, vylon, and so on, but adding a few other archtypes into the mix, some new, some old (quite literally new, as in i made these cards for the story) series 2 will be a continuation of 1, where phase 2 of duel terminal happens following the qliphorts and so forth. after that it'd be a bunch of movies/shorts based on yugioh lore, such as buster, the forbidden items, zera, and so forth. i'm hoping the world chalice will be a full lengthed film of live action in the duel monster world, instead of cards, cause that's what movie series 1 and 2 would be in a sense
I think this one hour youtube video about yugioh cards is the best movie I've ever seen.
What if at 54:19 dingrisu is not a separate entity but armor that longrisu puts on hence the using him as xyz material
Yes!! I’m gonna talk about it in the orcust lore video that I’m putting up! I didn’t have enough time to devote everything I wanted to say to orcust in this video, so I’ll be making another short one soon
This is awesome, have never found out where to find it myself nor would I have the patience to do so but awesome video here Logan, also interesting in how there effects can be tied to their Lore. Here is an interesting thought as well, with the Mekk Knights maintaining the balance they can be used in Response to your opponent setting up a column. So your opponent takes an action that could upset the balance and a Mekk-Knight responds by Special Summoning
Isn’t that WILD?! The thought that went into these designs is CRAZY.
Something that I believe, is that Crusadia Equimax is the closest thing we get to a Knightmare version of Blue Sky. Think about it. Avram gains an ability that involves link monsters, all Knightmares are mythical creatures and Equimax is a Centaur, and that’s really all I’ve got
Finally a great video about the World Legacy lore!
Awh shucks 😘❤️ thanks friend!!
Opening hour. “Have you heard of Orcust?!”
This is SO good. Had to watch in two sittings, but took in the whole thing and loved it. Started following you the first time that Lauren got an invite playing Paleo-Frogs and this channel is top-tier Yugituber realness. I love this.
Personally, I agree with 99% of this save for memory and morning star. While I'm still not sure where M.S. fits in I actually think Memory is the Crusadia team and Lee in the aftermath of the recreation discovering the truth of past events in their new lives
Great work you two! Good job on doing it in one whole vid! Much love! Can’t wait for more
Amazon sent me my Dual Overload early and now a hour long Crush Cards video. This is a good day so far.
Hell yeah what a day!
lmfao i cant care that this video is over an hour long
this is my favourite lore of yugioh and i HAD to watch this when you put it up
thanks for this!!
There will be more Monday! 🤗 I deep dive into the mythology of orcust and the overlaying themes of the lore!
@@CrushCardsThanks! I would love to see more of this stuff!
(edit) wow this is the first time a youtuber has replied to my comment
whoo! my fav. lore on youtube AND a youtuber commenting on my comment??
made my day!
Rodimus 22 , The SM64 Sans anytime my friend! That’s what we are here for! Building the community! That means interacting 🤗 we love y’all!
@@CrushCards you know, i think i would actually like to see the Duel Terminal Lore
ive been hunting for that lore for years, and you may be my answer
Please do more yugioh lores i would like a phantom knight lore thank you.
Pk fanservice
Love it. Very compelling story with these links.
You got to make Shaddoll!!
So far on what they released on Master Duel, you're almost everything correct until now. Can't wait now for them to drop the rest of the lore!
Would luv to see a buster blader , destruction sword lore
OoooOoH!!
Thank You So Much. I will never stop playing this deck and it was so fun to watch the lore!
Yay!!! I’m so happy!!
¿Did you catch the Avengers: Age of Ultron cameo in Orcustrated Return? nwn
Very interesting video, really enjoyable.
The quality of this video is insane, you guys picked up on so many little details and that theory about the Mekk Knights really helps to explain why Morning Star is a Machine while the rest are Psychic and why it doesn't have a color associated with it.
🤗🤗 yay!!! we’re so glad you enjoyed it!!! The buster blader lore is coming Thursday and I can’t WAIT! It won’t be as long but it’s definitely a journey!
Konami better pull an Arcane and make this a whole ducking series.
Also, I rly liked the narration. It wasn't plain and just "this and that happened". It felt a lot more interesting with the delivery that you both offered. Awesome work on actually getting all these cards, it's cool to see all of them together with their counterparts
Awe thank you so much!
Ningirsu is obito confirmed, he resembles him down to a T
I love these archetypes and their surrounding lore so much, when I initially got more into yugioh (apart from being into it as a kid) these were just releasing, and it was so fascinating to me how awesome the worldbuilding and storytelling was via cards.
Now getting back into yugioh again (just as Albaz lore is wrapping up, fitting timing) and I wanted to revisit my favorite story in the world of yugioh and you explained it very clearly and it was a pleasure to remind myself of this all!
I've wanted the whole story for so long.
I'm glad that you've made that hope a reality.
Thank you.
We are so glad you enjoyed this! We loved this lore and have another one coming Thursday! :)
@@CrushCards From what I already knew of the story, I'd grown a fondness for the World Chalice group, the Mekk-Knights, the Knightmares (It's really sad how they were all corrupted) and most recently (over the last few days) the Crusadia.
.
Seeing how everything falls into place beyond what I already knew was the icing on the cake.
.
I wonder if somewhere later down the road they'll do alternative story paths where maybe something like Longirsu gets Red Moon's Axe, Blue Sky gets turned into a Knightmare and Auram gets corrupted in some way too. There are several instances of choices as well so there could be instances of the opposite outcomes as well.
.
If they did, I wonder if you'd revisit the story and update the information.
This was amazing. Thank you so much for all the work!!
Thank you for watching you wonderful human!!!
Orcust is honestly my favorite deck ever, love the lore. Thanks a lot!
this is the best lore video I could find, nice work guys. i'd love to see a True Draco lore video too! :)
This Story is actually so good.
As many comments said, it would be worth to get a Movie.. or even in general. YuHiOh Archetypes have often pretty intresting Stories to tell...
Its so sad that its more or less wasted to be left on imagination.
If theyd release a Manga/Series for the Lores - even if they started at point Zero Dark Magicain and stuff.
Id be mega hyped
Amazing video !!! And yeah please do Duel Terminal and what comes after (Shaddoll, Infernoid and all that) next !
1) just found you two and I gotta say: it’s so cool to see other couples playing yugioh together. 2) appreciate the lore vid. Crusadias have been one my favorite decks and I always wondered about the lore surrounding the cards. So thank you.
Awh thank you! ♥️ we really appreciate you coming and watching! ♥️ weve come a LOOOONG way from this video, and we’re grateful to make content for y’all. The world legacy has a special place in my heart and I’m glad I was able to make this for everyone
World legacy has to be my favorite lore, I really enjoyed this video, it felt like it was 15 minutes long, liked, fav and suscribed as soon as it finished, great job
