Mokuba never dueled in the anime... but in the Manga he was introduced to us as the number 1 Capsule Monster's Chess player...... who then got beat by Yugi....... twice..... while rigging the machine to give him the strong monsters and Yugi the weak ones.
@@Pepesmall Thing is.... Yugi didn't cheat, magic or no... in fact, I'm not even sure he used magic to make the first game a shadow game. He definitely didn't do so for the second. Mokuba just kept underestimating the effects of the little guys, and thus kept getting caught off guard when one of them used their abilities at the perfect moment.
Whenever I play this game, and especially on my first playthrough, I always go for the monster kill win. I always just thought "Why run after the symbol way in the back when they just brung their monsters to me?" Plus, it just feels good wiping the board every time. XD
I think, worth mentioning as you brought up your surprise at Mokuba being a higher ranked enemy than Joey, that in the pre Duel-Monsters manga ("Season 0" era), Mokuba's game of choice was Capsule Monsters. I had this game when I was younger, though I didn't end up playing too far. I always thought the game had a really dark and ominous atmosphere for a Yu-Gi-Oh game.
Thanks for pointing this out! I learned this only and the last stages of editing this video, but it‘s cool to see how early this idea of capsule monsters came up in the manga.
Wow this brings back memories I don’t remember even paying attention to field effects but i did use few special abilities, i shocking this game wasn’t given sequel or remake the OS were phenomenal and game style is addictive, I would like to see female monsters only challenge as fan service cause there’s few enough for real challenge.
Yeah I feel you! A sequel would be nice, but at least we have the Libra Mod which provides a lot more challenging content. I like your idea with female monsters only, I‘ll try it out sometime in the future :)
Another spinoff where Kuriboh is surprisingly good. Fastest monster in the game. Stack three Multiply on it and then just spam its special move for massive AOE.
@@RedDragonForce2 Real glass cannon though. I paired it with illusionary gentleman and dark king of the abyss for their special moves that lower attack power. Keeps kuriboh alive and dealing insane damage.
For the longer explanation: As far as I understand Capsule Monsters were a thing IRL in Japan before Duel Monsters and on the PS1 they got also games about it.
My answer to that favorite villain question in Final Stage section goes to PaniK. Big guy was that menacing, the "messed up" ATK and DEF points on his monsters mirrors his messed up personality. Quite terrific to imagine what would happen to Mai if Yugi didn't come in time to save the day (or night) by that time. Agree though early YGO villains being batcrap crazy. Lots of them willing to kill just to win in children's trading card game while Season 0 villains were literal sickos. Edit: seriously lol'ing at the PP jokes. Kinda expecting to hear Dark Magician Girl or Dark Elf having bigger PP than Kuriboh.
This was a sick video. Don't know how many copies of an exodia limb you can use but if you could beat the opponent with just the left leg I'd find that hilarious
Got stuck on Tea as a kid when I last played this game. Lost and never played again sadly. Lost the disc too. Thanks for the playthrough! Nice to see all the maps for the first time!
I played this game very casually as a kid. As an adult playing it again, one monster I ended up really liking is Kurama. I did a Wind Monster Only run (thinking not having attribute diversity would make the game harder. Which I learned was the exact opposite) and Kurama ended up being the MVP of my run along with Harpie Lady. So if you do another challenge run, maybe try it with Kurama. Or maybe Petit Dragon.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, you are so legend. I literally have a ton of kuriboh cards coming in right now for a kuriboh deck for funsies. Your timing is so good it’s scary. XD Kuribohrn and Relinkuriboh were the cards I had finally get to me today. :D
Well, this was pretty neat, hopefully more people find your channel, and hopefully you continue making more rad vids like these~ Would love to see that exodia run for sure
Thank you so much! I have a lot of ideas and multiple videos already in work, so there is certainly more coming! I think I might actually try the Exodia challenge, it‘s probably way more difficult than this one but maybe doable, depending on the rules.
The Exodia pieces one is a great idea. Maybe one where you cant level up(or as little as possible) but get to use whatever monster you want? A regular Libra playthrough would be cool too No idea if thats even possible though
Cool video man ! Ngl sad nobody made a mod that would replace monsters in this game with 3d models of the ones from the og monster capsule breed and battle Or make them more chibi and cartoonissh like in that game I don't really like the statue look at monsters have in the this game Yeah ig they do looks better like this with the context of them being chess pieces But I really dig the concept and ascetic of simple gacha minifigures that Kazuki Takahashi cooked up for the manga and first game
Some challenge run sugestions its to limit your pieces based on a character? Like using Joey pieces in his battle(Or that its logical for him to use like Red Eyes)
With regards to the question about which villain to look at first I will recommend Pegasus. Reason being that his character is grand. It would be a swell viewing experience.
Capsule monsters has to be my favorite yugioh game produced its good to see content for it. If you need a challenge Im doing the campaign with only 2 capsules.
A exodia piece run does sound cool! Maybe even allow yourself to fuse them during the run if you can. Trading 5 pieces for one piece could make an interesting choice to make.
God this game was so amaziing back in the day. I wish they followed up on it, or the campaign was a bit longer. Maybe the NPCs get stronger like NewGame plus or something. Not just the player upgrading, since the base run is simple enough. Just realized while watching: the music hits different.
No idea why the elemental rock paper scisors keeps being drawn with Earth so far over. There's clearly just two cycles of 4 elements. Earth > Thunder > Light > Dark > Earth. Wind > Water > Fire > Wood > Wind. I guess if they just made the two cycles any more obvious people would not care, by putting Earth so far to the side it looks like the two cycles are interlinked it makes it seem more interesting.
I assume it might be a leftover from older titles. In Yugioh Duel Monsters 2 and 3, they had a similar system that included a few more elements. In that system, earth and Thunder were actually part of the „elemental“ cycle while Light and Dark were in a different cycle with „Fairy“ and „Demonic“ or something like that. Maybe in the early stages of development they assumed the elements would be aligned differently, but who knows. Either way, they should‘ve cleared it up for the 2 cycles to be easily visible!
I've found out about this game last year from gameboylad. I've been planning to give it a try with the libra remaster mod. I'd like to watch more challenge videos.
The libra mod is amazing, but also really punishing haha definitely check it out, it‘s also getting more content soon! I‘ll see if an Exodia challenge makes sense for this game and try it out. If you got any other ideas, make sure to drop them here :)
@@Din-Oh I'm further down the video, you see, capsule monsters were a thing in the manga, and Mokuba was the champion of that game, so if anything he should be even further on the ranks. In the manga, yugi and Kaiba had a duel before the exodia one(Kaiba had only one blueeyes which he stole from yugi). Mokuba had his goons(which were children his own age) kidnape yugi to challenge him to capsule monsters. Then the whole Kaiba land thing happened, were yugi and friends had to go through a series of deadly trials in order to reach the top of the tower and challenge Kaiba for the duel with exodia and the three blue eyes like in the anime. The second to last trial was a rematch with Mokuba in capsule monsters. Though it needs to be said that both Kaiba brothers were huge cheaters at that point.
I wish they included a few team blueprints with a fair balance of creatures to play against your friends. My friend picked red, and I chose blue. He loses. Surprise!
Ive been emulating this game and trying to give some monsters to fresh save files. But not every monster can be a ante/prize monster. Know why? Or the restrictions for it?
@Din-Oh could be fun. You got a penguin soldier that can evolve into Penguin knight, flying Penguin and bolt Penguin. Knight could be your boss, and the other 3 you could have 2 of each, not to make it absolutely impossibly hard. Or something like that!
Beat the game with the worst monsters (functionally) of whichever sign you chose. It should show off more unique monsters, and give a real challenge in the actual strategy. And do it with the libra mod.
I the Kuriboh King approves this comment. Kuriboh is in fact the best monster ever. I currently have a collection of alor of Kurobohs. I have a collection video on my channel.
You actually play individual pieces and fuse them way later into the campaign, if at all. The real challenge is the fact that you only get 1 single piece for the first 5 opponents. Let‘s how far I can get before I have to use additional save files haha definitely stay tuned for the next video!
21:43 yeah a playthrough with only exodia pieces would be a really cool watch
It‘s already in the works :)
I attack using...
The left leg! Followed by the right leg!
@@peanutsaber8837 Followed by the middle leg 🤣🤣 sorry I couldn't help myself I know I'm cringe 😂😂
@@kingmagikarp97gotta make sure he has big pp first 😅
Mokuba never dueled in the anime... but in the Manga he was introduced to us as the number 1 Capsule Monster's Chess player...... who then got beat by Yugi....... twice..... while rigging the machine to give him the strong monsters and Yugi the weak ones.
You can't beat the power of cheating with magic
And he tried to cut Yugi's finger in the manga.
@@Pepesmall No amount of cheating magic can lead you to defeat the protag whose name is literally the series itself.
@@Pepesmall Thing is.... Yugi didn't cheat, magic or no... in fact, I'm not even sure he used magic to make the first game a shadow game. He definitely didn't do so for the second.
Mokuba just kept underestimating the effects of the little guys, and thus kept getting caught off guard when one of them used their abilities at the perfect moment.
He did duel in Duelist Kingdom, but he just used a stolen deck and just tried to steal starchips in the end without completing the duel.
Kuriboh is my favourite Fire Emblem lord
I just fund out this game and now i wana see an exodia run 100%
Well if so many of you want it, I gotta go for it!
Also, the OST is FIRE! I often play it during long road trips
I gotta cover it on my OST channel at some point, it‘s just way too good!
Goated comment.
Agree bro, my favorite being Mai and Ishuzu stage OST
Mai and Ishitu 1 are absolutely goated! I also love Pegasus 1, Rex Raptor and Shadi 2!
Edit: spelling
one of the best in gaming imo
So apparently using the Water Symbol and maining White Dolphin is a more common occurrence than I thought.
That's how my first run went too
Yo same
Between this game, Duelists of the Roses and the first Tag Force game Yu-Gi-Oh! Games on the PS2 truly did not miss with the music
Whenever I play this game, and especially on my first playthrough, I always go for the monster kill win. I always just thought "Why run after the symbol way in the back when they just brung their monsters to me?" Plus, it just feels good wiping the board every time. XD

@@willstob outside of Harpies, it’s basically one of the strongest Monsters throughout the game, minus a few exceptions.

You can increase PP size with Big Evolution Pill... but if it lasts beyond 3 end phases, please call a doctor.

The soundtrack just unlocked a core memory. I used to play this so much as a kid, grinding out max levels and fusions to complete the collection.

6:43 Me, probably.
This game was a personal fav with me and a buddy when we were kids. Not well balanced, AT ALL, but a lot of fun
Finally, someone who is doing this challenge. I've been scouring theinternet for something like this.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, you are so legend. I literally have a ton of kuriboh cards coming in right now for a kuriboh deck for funsies. Your timing is so good it’s scary. XD
Kuribohrn and Relinkuriboh were the cards I had finally get to me today. :D
I am the Kuriboh King and this pleases me. The army of furballz will rise. I currently have a Kuriboh Deck and collection as well.
I love how you have rach duelist have a abridged line before each duel. Just adds that extra personality.
Never actually played this game, just wanted the cards that came inside it so thank you for allowing me to see a playthrough!
Well, this was pretty neat, hopefully more people find your channel, and hopefully you continue making more rad vids like these~ Would love to see that exodia run for sure
Thank you so much! I have a lot of ideas and multiple videos already in work, so there is certainly more coming!
I think I might actually try the Exodia challenge, it‘s probably way more difficult than this one but maybe doable, depending on the rules.
True~ I don't think there's many videos doing CMC challenge runs, so that'd be a neato niche to fill. Can't wait to see what comes next~
I loved this game as a kid, and I'm really excited to watch some other people play this!
Great Video! I loved this game as a child and still do. Please do more challenge runs!
CMC is one of my favorites in the yugioh game lineup! Game is so much fun, I’m probably gonna bust my copy out again and play it
As soon as I saw the title I thought you'd be fine. Perfect block is so OP
That‘s I chose a much more difficult challenge for the next video, wish me luck lol
@Din-Oh look forward to it being released! Subscribed!
I loved this game as a kid! I am here for any other challenge runs you can think up
Now this is exactly what I been looking for
There‘s more in the pipe, so stay tuned!
The Exodia pieces one is a great idea. Maybe one where you cant level up(or as little as possible) but get to use whatever monster you want? A regular Libra playthrough would be cool too
No idea if thats even possible though
Cool video man !
Ngl sad nobody made a mod that would replace monsters in this game with 3d models of the ones from the og monster capsule breed and battle
Or make them more chibi and cartoonissh like in that game
I don't really like the statue look at monsters have in the this game
Yeah ig they do looks better like this with the context of them being chess pieces
But I really dig the concept and ascetic of simple gacha minifigures that Kazuki Takahashi cooked up for the manga and first game
great content. i loved this.
Could love to see more cmc challenges!
41:00 The guy using Dark Castle with the big star chip glove is so weird I wonder what his day job looks like.
Loved this game. Played the hell out of it
To explain, Wood boosts power as it drinks the water.
It's a mix of Wu-Xing and science
Some challenge run sugestions its to limit your pieces based on a character? Like using Joey pieces in his battle(Or that its logical for him to use like Red Eyes)
I absolutely love this game. I played the ever living crap out of it as a child.
The Cut ins with the Yugioh abridged series is funny.
With regards to the question about which villain to look at first I will recommend Pegasus. Reason being that his character is grand. It would be a swell viewing experience.
Great choice, and superb choice of words haha
I‘ll keep your suggestion in mind once I tackle that topic :)
Capsule monsters has to be my favorite yugioh game produced its good to see content for it. If you need a challenge Im doing the campaign with only 2 capsules.
absolutely loved this game! wished they made a new more up to date version with all the new cards out now.
You should check out the Libra Mod! It might be what your looking for or as close as we’ll ever get.
A exodia piece run does sound cool! Maybe even allow yourself to fuse them during the run if you can. Trading 5 pieces for one piece could make an interesting choice to make.
Don‘t wanna spoil too much, but I think you will very much enjoy the next video :)
Mokuba being a decent duelist in CMC is likely a reference to the manga, where he was the strongest at Capsule Monsters.
0:07 Sorry to be that guy but Kuriboh was actually first released in 2002 in Metal Raiders, the second booster set.
i loved this game as a kid
Kurriboh is surprising good in this game. My army of fluffballs have killed many meteor dragons
"OH MY GOD, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY FACE!"
How about White Dolphin run? Truly rub it in Wevil's face!
I like this idea, I‘ll write it on the list for sure!
Would love to see a playthrough of the mod. Ether in long or short form. This is also my favorite spin-off game. 🎉
I am the Kuriboh King and I approve this video. Kuriboh is the best monster
The King has spoken 👑
@@Din-Oh Thank you my kind sir.

This is my favorite video game of all time. Fire + wind = too good
It‘s so much fun, isn‘t it? Have you tried the Libra Mod yet?
OMG! His monsters PP size has exceeded 9000!!!
Love this game. Really wish they'd remake it or at leasgt rerlease it on modern stuff.
What is it with you and those Richard jokes XD
I was just playing this game a few weeks ago 😂
Sadly I’m letting my brother borrow it so I can’t play it right now 😭
YEAAAHHHHHHH woooo
Why not do a wood run using the petite moth evolution line just for fun
That‘s a great idea, writing it down for sure!
I wish they included a few team blueprints with a fair balance of creatures to play against your friends. My friend picked red, and I chose blue. He loses. Surprise!
Do da la la la la
la la li o on
Water is a conductor for electricity and plants absorb water
Would you try the mod that makes the game harder? Where enemies actually use pieces matching the map and thier piece?
7:10 to be fair pegasus was listing his fav duelists their not the best
but joey is always the wrost at new games when he starts them
Actually in the yugioh season 0 anime mokuba did duel
Ive been emulating this game and trying to give some monsters to fresh save files. But not every monster can be a ante/prize monster. Know why? Or the restrictions for it?

Oh you would be surprised with how few monsters you can beat at least the first few opponents in this game. Stay tuned for the ne t challenge video ;)
Beat the game with the worst monsters (functionally) of whichever sign you chose. It should show off more unique monsters, and give a real challenge in the actual strategy.
And do it with the libra mod.
Kuriboh is the best monster of all time. How dare you call him weak.
I the Kuriboh King approves this comment. Kuriboh is in fact the best monster ever. I currently have a collection of alor of Kurobohs. I have a collection video on my channel.
One blow and he's finished...I mean😅

Should’ve at least went with a thunder symbol instead of a dark symbol 😢
Man I wish Konami remade this game or make a sequel 😞.
Is not surrendering to refresh pieces part of the challenge or did you just forget?
I‘m not entirely sure what you mean, can you elaborate?
@@Din-Oh If you go into a fight and surrender and select Try Again it will refresh all your dead units
Wait, you were using 5 Kuriboh, wasn't it supposed to be permadeath? Still, can't bring myself to unlike my fav spin-off ever
What did you change about the video?
I fixed a few transition mistakes and some sound issues that were bugging me. Thanks for commenting :)
9:09 AS THE INCREASE IN WHAT????
21:39 how does Exodia even work here tho?
Well, you will see very soon ;)
I would pay $70 for the cheapest ass port of this game to anything.
You can play it on your PC via an emulator. There is a mod called Libra mod for it with 50(?) unused monsters
I really liked this video, but you shouldn't rely on YGOTAS so much. Your writing doesn't need that crutch.
F-first?
I think so yes 🙌
