I through that was the end of the year tradition of people here following Rata, he uploads something at the end of the year, time to see how much he has grown.
I really like these archetypes that simply spawn into existance because of 1 or two cards from 15 years ago. Penguins, skull servants, All of these bring me great joy.
@@Zetact_ tbf - tri-horned is still missing his video game only ritual spell. So there's still hope that we might get a ritual retrain or series dedicated to him specifically
The funny thing about Fluffal Penguin is that since it technically qualifies as a Penguin, Fluffal players will play Royal Penguin Gardens. I've even used the lower level and discard a card function before to toss Edge Imp Chain, Toy Vendor, or Eldlich the Golden Lord for more setups. The looks on peoples faces when I play Royal Penguin Gardens...and the amount of people who've gone "I have no idea why you're playing that so I should Ash it." They fear the (Fluffal) Penguin.
@@luminous3558I kinda want to be that sicko. I tended to use Shaddolls (or before the ban, Brilliant. Or things like One for One and Glow-Up Bulb to tune Dog for Nat Beast before the Bulb ban), or build a little heavier on the Edge Imp side for the Turn 1, but it's been awhile since I last built a Fluffal deck and a Fluffal/Penguin deck sounds fun. And terrible. And fun
If I had a nickel for every Penguin monster who has a "when" trigger but not being modified by "you can" thus meaning they can't miss timing because they're mandatory effects... what the hell they have four of that specific thing
Nopenguin chain blocking is a godsend. Ash? Penguin says no. Savage? Penguin says no! Also, funny interaction is with Lancelot the R8nk monster. His negate is mandatory. However if you're the turn player, Nopenguin will activate first because you have priority. How that works out is over my head.
@@NanashiKokoro Damn, that's way more than I thought. I was only half-joking, but I expected there'd be about 80-100 of you guys out there. There's a ton more archetypes than people think, so something niche like Penguin having 300 fans is crazy
R.I.P. Ojama Lime. Your misadventures were entertaining bows to the packages that are the videos Rata makes. These end of credits segments will never be the same without you.
One last fact: In the original Japanese version of the anime, Tea (Anzu) mentioned that "Nightmare Penguin" was WIND-Attribute instead of WATER, as it was used for the Ritual Summon of "Five-Headed Dragon", whose Ritual Spell required 1 monster of each Attribute, except LIGHT.
Flufflal Penguin being a "Penguin" Monster is another on the list of "Stealth Archetype Members". We all remember the infamous NecROID Sharman Magical AndROID Dark JeROID FTK (especially it coming back with the release of Salad ZebROID X) but who _amoung us_ knows of all the others? >Stronghold the Moving Fortress being a HOLE Trap Card >Crystron Rosenix being a ROSE Card >Junk Sleep being a JUNK Card >Geargia Change being a CHANGE Quickplay Spell >Demise, The Supreme King Armaggedon being a SUPREME KING Monster Not to mention 50+ Prophecy, Guardian and Cyber cards.
I mean fluffal kinda appropriates most of the penguin support because fluffal penguin is just really good. So yes we take the RotA that is also a continuous spell for eldlich and magicians souls(yes these 2 are also fluffal cards). Or if you feel like tributing a monster in 2024 then you can run the great emperor penguin to summon 2 fluffal penguins and combo into the sun.
Penguin's are un-ironically the most successful series of cards to come out of the 'Virtual World' arc of the anime... and its the deck used by a comic relief character who loses to Anzu/Téa... who isn't even a duelist. It's weird that this joke deck has more support than anything played by Noah Kaiba, but it's funny, I guess.
*YOOOOOOOOO.* I remember back when Paleozoics were first being revealed and everyone was still calling 'em Burgesstomas, making a pretty decent Paleo-Penguin deck. I still have the decklist in a pastebin. I'm glad Rata is covering one of my favourite archetypes!
I love the very obvious way Puny Penguin's effect works on a semantics/imagination level: You flip the card over and your opponent expects some nasty surprise only for it to be 2 of the saddest little guys ever. Then your opponent curbstomps them into oblivion with whatever actually good cards they have. Then the game takes pity on you and lets you summon a better monster from your graveyard. Hilariously brilliant card design.
One guy at my locals plays nothing but Penguins. He’s been a Penguin one-trick since BODE. Lately he’s paired it with the Horus engine, and it cooks people pretty regularly.
One final gift before the year ends, let's go. I'm still waiting for the other two penguins in the Synchro's artwork, and now that Rata's made a video on them, hopefully we'll get them in the following 2 years.
Okay so uh...if anyone is also questioning with Rata about Penguin Torpedo's effect specifications, allow me to explain why it's an anime reference, in the Virtual World arc, one of the big 5 who used Nightmare Penguin as an avatar was dueling Tea, the duels here come with the rule that should any of the heroes lose a duel to one of the big 5 that person has their body taken over by the member who beat them. the lvl6 condition is in reference to Tea's Deck Master, Dark Magician Girl, who was lvl 6 and the take control effect is in reference to Crumb aiming to take over Tea's body and the reason it triggers when it attacks directly and deals damage is because had Tea not done an asspull to win, Crumb would have won the duel had he been able to do another direct attack with Penguin Torpedo which is why the effect triggers when it does damage.
Didn't even catch onto that. I should've suspected it's an anime reference given how specific it was, especially since I rewatched this episode a bunch on DVD lol.
@@rank10ygo no worries Rata ^_^ it honestly caught me off guard as well and I had to read the trivia page on yugipedia to learn it was a reference when this card came out back in the day. i definitely agree that it doesn't really make the card all that great but the snatch effect could be used to get a free body on your field for summon material like snatching your opponent's boss monster and use it as link 2 material
I have played pure penguins since before the new syncro support, you making this video makes me really happy. Thank you once again for the great content u make
I remember when I was a kid, and I was certain that if Penguin Soldier got attacked whole face down, he could choose himself as a bounce target before he got destroyed by the battle.
There is so much good quality editing and writing in this episode. Great job! Im also digging all the little references thrown in, like the Wizard ring and the NetWarrior cards 👌
Thanks, Rata, for getting us a Glacial Beast structure deck in the near future. Dark Scorpion is gonna have to wait 10 more years before recieving support, but it's gonna be worth the wait. -Teo
Using Penguins as a Synchro engine is a lot of fun! It's a good way to get out level 8s like Graydle Dragon and Risen Dragite, plus with a little extra level manipulation, Chengying too--who REALLY appreciates Nopenguin.
KR WIZARD REFERENCE! YES!!!!!!!! Also, yea, we need more penguins. Happy we did got a new Archetype Archive before the end of the year. Looking forward to the card upgrade videos.
It still cracks me up that literally the first Effect Penguin card ever printed is still the best one and one of the strongest spin effects in the game.
There are more penguin cards then I remember. It Makes me happy to see some of the cards I loved back in school have even a small place in the game still.
10/10 video as always. I grew up with Rata, and it is nice to see the evolution from a funny guy to a nice man. The idea of Special Set is solid; it would fit perfectly in a 2-axis design of: - Normal/Special Summon - Normal/Special Set See? 2 and 2, even newbies shouldn't have any problem understanding it. Though this brings up the idea of face-down attack, which is hilarious, and honestly, I don't see why not; nerf that S:P Little Night! The joke of Abaki is interesting too; some time ago, Rata said Burger King opened where he lives, and the burger was kinda mid, but this joke implies he either liked it after all, or spent money for a joke.
Not going to lie I kinda got really excited when I saw Abaki… same with seeing Ojama Lime. Watching a new Rata video is like seeing that good friend again after a long time!! 💙💜
It was thanks to the Penguin archetype that I got back into YGO properly. I really love these little guys. I genuinely wish they could get a Link-1 that could either activate the Equip or Continuous Spell from the Deck on summon, or an effect that would give you a second normal summon/set for the turn. If it let you do both, that would be amazing
Nopenguin is so funny the fact that he automatically chain blocks and if he chains to polar penguin suddenly it's banished instead. He is the embodiment of NOPE
Merry Belated Christmas RATA, and an Early Happy New Year! 2:59 To be fair, the TOAD is dead, so you could easily explain it while laughing over its grave 6:11 surprisingly, not a single surf's up reference (considering its protagonist Cody was that type of penguin) 9:26 Classic RATA's jab at ARC-V 13:55 hope for the day someone makes a list of "top 10 monsters that belong to multiple archetypes" 14:54 RATA's PSCT Idea 17:27 Grading time We got no single joke or reference to The Penguins of Madagascar (besides the tweet post announcing this video's release); OR that time a Penguin Deck defeated Eldlich in an official tournament, (or how Nightmare Penguin, or specifically Crump of the Big 5 is the equivalent of an ugly bastard in yugioh fanarts): but Ojama Lime finally died for good, so everything is forgiven.
Archetype Archive updates are always such a treat because there's no way to guess what the HELL is actually going to be covered. Today: penguins, why the fuck not. Join us next time for Interplanetarypurplythorny and the time after that for Spirit Board.
I find it interesting you went this route, the penguin deck my fiancé and I have is almost the opposite in terms of cards run. It's a trap-based penguin deck that uses Degenerate Circuit and other floodgates to banish all of the opponent's cards. Not a fast deck, but it tears through other boards built by slower decks.
Actually one of my favorite archetypes ever, mostly cause I always found penguins in almost every pack I opened, so they grew on me. I love these little penguins.
21:12 So this is what rata was referring when talking about Ojama Lime on his tweets, it’s because he forgot to feed it and it wants to go back in time to the moment they added him in ojama country’s artwork so he can remove his inclusion so that rata can prevent being sued for “Animal negligence”.
Honestly the deck is probably one of the most underestimated in the game right now, when it still had halq you could certainly turn it into a force to be reckoned with
THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT “FORM A NEW DECK” MEANT THAT YOU TREAT YOUR GRAVEYARD AS LIKE A SECOND DECK THAT YOU JUST HAVE ALONG WITH YOUR ORIGINAL DECK WHAT
I just want to mention that penguin support unironically gets played in Fluffals because Fluffal Penguin is a very good starter and the spells and monsters help get it out
Penguins are an odd duck, I mean penguin, of an archetype. They seem innocent but they have some really nasty effects beneath the surface. Really Penguina just need some extra cards and I see them turning out really good. Perhaps they could even get a Penguin XYZ or Penguin Link monster that helps their current gameplan. These little guys deserve something amazing. Plus when are we gonna get plushies of these guys? I wanna squeeze one
in Master Duel you can use vanilla Thunder Dragons to thin your deck since Penguins suck, and then special summon Bolt Penguin before using it to summon Thunder Dragon Colossus

early arc v will always hold a special place in my heart
Thank you for making this video so penguins can get their support in a few months.

These little guys deserve something amazing. Plus when are we gonna get plushies of these guys? I wanna squeeze one
Missed this format, ty
YES!!!! Finally, the greatest archetype
Thanks for your aid in making this masterpiece.
"Form a new deck" sounds most like it would be highly fucking illegal during any tournament
Penguin sword or as I like to call it , Antarctic designator
omg i've been trying to re-find funny european yugioh channel and YT finally recommends you back
10:48 After beating Dragon Quest Builders 1, I can enjoy hearing that tune!
The card art of this archetype brings me joy :D
I can't believe Ojama Lime is fucking dead
12:50 I feel like Rata specifically mentioned this card just so he can flex his impeccable rapping skills.
My boi Penguin Soldier finally gets his time in the sun.
I've been waiting for this for years...as you can tell
in Master Duel you can use vanilla Thunder Dragons to thin your deck since Penguins suck, and then special summon Bolt Penguin before using it to summon Thunder Dragon Colossus
Puny Penguin's art embodies "Excuse me, he asked for no pickles"
Cristron halqifibrax was almost a penguin, his combo with penguins was fire.
Unfortunately, his combo with _everything_ was fire, so Penguins got screwed. 🐧
Always a huge joy for me to see a new Archetype Archive pop up in my feed. You will always be my favourite Yugituber, 😄
Rata really picking up the pace on this new release schedule 👍
(And I wouldn't have it any other way)
For some reason, I could see this archetype being somewhat strong in Duel Links.
