Top Ten Weirdest Yu-Gi-Oh Flip Monsters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- One of the oldest types of monsters in Yugioh is the flip monster. These monsters have effects that only activate when they are flipped face up. They are slower effects that were initially designed to hold back more powerful effects early in the game’s life, but they slowly got phased out for effects that occurred without needing to be set then flipped. Now, these types of monsters are either extinct or part of an archetype that caters to flip effects to make them strong enough to justify being set (or just naturally speed them up). With them being around since the dawn of Yugioh, there were bound to be some weird ones in there, so we’re on a mission to find them. I’m joined by Judgment Meter, Corgian, Sam from Dungeon Dive Bar, Professor Oats, and SyzygySolo.

Here's a fun fact: Oats ran a deck with Parasite Paracide in it when we were younger. it was one of his main decks. He had a bad habit of leaving a copy or two in my deck. I would have to return it to him a week or two later.
To this day, I still have one of his old Parasite Paracides because of this.
ah, the good ol' forgetting that your own parasite paracide is in your opponents deck. a true classic
Happened to me when I was a kid... never got mine back though
Oats?! Who is THAT?! Of all yugioh players Of All Time, he is certainly one of them..
I’ve had the same problem back in the day with Exchange.
I legitimately laughed when he said, "Ah yes, Duelist Kingdom rules."
Rules during Duelist Kingdom... there aren't any
Except winning by dropping LP to 0 and claiming Star Chips.
How you accomplished either was a different topic

Top Ten reasons why Monsanto is the most hated in the WORLD! (more than Sony and Disney combined)
The reason for Castle of Dark Illusions' wonky stats: In the manga it had 1200 ATK and 2500 DEF. It was scaled down so that its stats would be approximately 1200/2500 with a 30% power bonus, so they took 1200 and 2500 and divided them by 1.3 and rounded them (they rounded the ATK down and the DEF up, not sure why though considering that the nearest ten for both was down). 920/1930 plus 30% is 1196/2509
This same scale down method was also applied to King of Yamimakai (2600/2000 in the manga, 2000/1530 IRL), Dark Chimera (2100/1900 manga, 1610/1460 IRL), Barox (1800/2000 manga, 1380/1530 IRL), and Metal Guardian (1500/2800 manga, 1150/2150 IRL). For Reaper of the Cards it bizarrely only applies to its ATK (1800 manga, 1380 IRL), as its 1930 DEF implies it had 2500 in the manga when it actually had 2000.
I heard that the japanese words for the ATK and DEF of those cards spell something out about death or something like that, but I cant remember exactly what it was about.
@@Aikisbest I've heard that theory too, but I'm pretty sure that's entirely made up.
@@Aikisbest I think Reaper of the Card stats has to do with goroawase but I don't think the other cards do
@@Leopoldshark That could be it, I definitely know that RotC does have some shenanigan like this though, indeed.
But why change the stats to begin with?
Early YGO was a mess
Fun fact: Parasite Paracide is the only card in the entire game that can be inserted into the opponent's deck, as well as the only card that can legally be inserted into the Main Deck face-up, and by extension, playing Convulsion of Nature causes it to be turned facedown again.
The second point is not true. There's another: Pharaoh's Treasure.
They said that in video, moron. Dont you watch it?
@@GaussianEntity came here to mention this card. Not surprising it isn't well known.
Grave lure can turn any card face up
Man eater bug is such a fun card to use in duel links. I accidentally made my oppenent rage quit since they set up a huge combo only for man eater to ruin it
ha !!
Imagine using an ur from a box when you can get an R card from a actually good box with the same effect
This post was made by magic vengeful old man
My spine pays their respect to the og man eater bug, without him, spine and the other krawlers prob wouldn't have been conceived maybe
The problem with D-Boyz is that it was printed as a secret rare so getting 3 copies was a hard challenge !
I forgot about that fact. Yeah, that adds to how bizarre it was that it was printed during the Xyz era.
@@MrTopTenList I got them for about $2 each many years ago because even though they were secret rares NOBODY wanted them.
@@DeepSubmergeRMM That sounds right to me, and I only just learned of the card from this video.
This video was so fun! The Jars are the coolest, but always what's in them...
I love Turtle jar, is not a flip jar but it had jar of greed in his arteork and seems so happy
I've always loved the jars, even way back in the early 2000s.
It's lutefisk from Oaken's shop in Frozen. Those are some pickled fish you don't want to mess with.
Sometimes a one eyes monster that hasn't brushed his teeth for a long time. So always have some colgate and brush ready for the worst of the worst.
Cyber Jar is my most favorite jar .
"Weird" cards are a great idea for any list. I'm fascinated by those weird cards from either the past or modern-day.
And we've got plenty more weird ideas to come!
@@MrTopTenList when will judgment meter return as DMG why is ancient jar on the cover of the video between man eater and parasite parasite. He ain't even a flip. You may got ancient jar confused with morphing jar
@@MrTopTenList Noty sure what "weird" meant here tbh.
@@MrTopTenList hopefully gemini monsters, because oh man those things are a trash fire from the ground up.
Weather Report is such an oddly specific counter. They had a few of those in the old days like Griffin Wing and White Hole and Anti raigeki.
Bolt Penguin was one of the first cards me, my sis and bro got back in 2001 when we imported YGO cards, so I have a soft spot for him.
Penguin Soldier is amazing and I will accept *NO* badmouthing of him whatsoever. Or Cobra Jar for that matter.
I used D-Boys in my first Xyz deck. They're funny.
I like the Penguin Synchro
I'm surprised Morphing Jar #2 didnt make the list.
Bite Shoes is actually a meta card in PSV-only duels that use the original rules at the time, because the monster could not change its battle position the same turn it had its position changed by an effect. That is a hyper specific type of game, though. lol
because there was no Enemy controller back then ,right?
During the time that Nobleman-Eater Bug was released, Insect Imitation could summon the monster in face-down defense position. (Why they changed this, I don't know). Even using this method, it still sucked. Needed higher DEF and the ability to choose to destroy only 1 monster.
Well i believe konami's thought process was that ghe nobleman-eater bug didnt target so that's why it was better than the og and hence why its worth the tribute...but yeh it's a shitty card
Love the commentary. It’s always humorous and informative
Thank you!
@@MrTopTenList why is ancient jar on the cover of the video between man eater and parasite parasite. He ain't even a flip. You may got ancient jar confused with morphing jar
Eternal Duelist Soul was one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh games, early Yu-Gi-Oh flip effects were almost game breaking since you could stock your deck with Hane-Hanes, Penguin Soldiers, Cyber Jars, Man-Eater Bugs, Morphing Jars, Mirror Force, Harpy's Feather Dusters, Mystical Space Typhoons, Swords of Revealing Light and basically wreck your opponent's every move and just bleed their life points with vanilla hitters
I do really enjoy the group top tens because having one person or even just two may have been why they fell out of style. Plus Judgment Meter is precious gift head pats.
I AM a precious gift who DOES deserve head pats
That Charmander conversation was incredible lol. The adorable laugh of Judgement Meter :D
What does byte Shows actually do, anyway? Was Big Eye that bad?
hey man I appreciate the hard work you and the MTTL crew has put into the recent YuGioh videos, thankz
"there's no such thing as flip toon monster"
Konami employee watching this video : NOTE GUYS, WE NEED TO MAKE FLIP TOON NEXT.
Tindangles are pretty awesome. It's a shame they still haven't gotten their other Link-Monster, because it was so useful in the anime.
Poor Judgement, she almost couldn't participate in this video 😕
Very fun commentary and great showcase of cards guys. Loved the vid :D
It's not specifically a flip monster, but I love Blast sphere.
“Red Shoes” actually references an old tale about magic shoes (they were red, yes) that, when someone wears them, make the user dance uncontrollably until they die.
Sounds like a creepy fairy tale (granted most of them were), so I think that's a pretty cool reference on their part.
Made me think of Iron Shoes. Iron Shoes were a punishment way back when. What they would do is put those iron shoes in a furnace or over a fire until they turned bright (from the heat) and they would quickly put those shoes on the criminal while still hot and the criminal would literally in a sense "Dance" bcus of the pain and Die from it.
What makes it more interesting is that the original Snow White story she woken up from the prince's kiss and they go off to his kingdom to celebrate. The evil queen catches wind and shows up to ruin the festivities and Snow reveals the truth as to what happened to her and why she was sleep so the Prince made the guards capture the Evil Queen and put those Iron Shoes on her until she died in the middle of the court room for everyone to see...
@@MrTopTenList Para Para dance
24:05 "lets not forget my favorite interaction with insect paracide" finishing the duel and leaving with it in my deck back when it was an "expensive "card
Actually regarding the nobleman eater bug section, I'm pretty sure shallow grave came out in Magician's Force which was before power of the duelist, and would've allowed you to special summon a monster from the graveyard facedown letting you special summon Nobleman eater bug. Also, and easily forgotten trap card that would've been applicable to this whole video (I believe from metal raiders) was light of intervention, which would allow you to trigger your flip effect monsters' effects without them being attacked. Unfortunately, it's a continuous trap card, preventing you from setting again until it's destroyed. There's also book of Taiyou (which I think was pharonic guardian) which did the same as a normal spell. I think this was the reason for weather report being designed the way he was to beat swords of revealing light, since the first thing it does is flip monsters face up, which would trigger weather report.
The reason why Castle of Dark Illusions (and all of PaniK's monsters, really) had such weird stat lines is that, after the field power bonus that Duelist Kingdom had, they would then be somewhat in line with the stats that their manga counterparts had, where the field power bonus mechanic wasn't a thing.
IE; Castle, after the 30% bonus, would be 1196 ATK and 2509 DEF, which would round out to it's manga counterpart's 1200 ATK and 2500 DEF.
15:51 wtf i had no idea axe of despair originally looked like that, that's so brutal o.o
Parasite Paracide was also one of my first cards I pulled. I had a insect deck, it was terrible but it was apart of my childhood. I know this is terrible but I had glasses and a bowl cut so I had a mild look of Underwood.
Needle Ball can actually be useful with spell and trap cards that turn effect damage into gains instead or ones that transfer effect damage from you to your opponent.
That wouldn't work, because needle ball doesn't do damage to its owner, the life points are a payment.
@@phiefer3 Life Absorbing Machine. It’s not a full zero state for you, but you’re basically paying 1,000 to do 1,000 of damage to your opponent. How many other cards do you know that do that that have a cost of 1,000 or less?
The Tindangle user looks like an anime version of a young HP Lovecraft. It actually fits.
Also you're misunderstanding how Parasite Paracide works. Its effect activates the moment it's flipped face up. It never goes to the graveyard when destroyed in battle, it goes straight into the opponent's deck.
Yeah. The guy who made the remark about where flip effects trigger from getting attack was mistaken or misinformed. It threw me off for a moment, honestly.
I actually still get screwed over with them sometimes

"Mr clean before the accident"
lool
Also Castle of Dark Illusions doesn't even benefit from its own effect, since it's not a Zombie-type itself.
You can fix that with the Zombie World Field Spell.
Its so lame that most flip monsters have to survive the BP for their effects to happen. I remember getting in a lot of arguments about the ruling of Brain Jacker, youll think it will avoid being destroyed and equip to an opponent monster, but no, it needs to survive for that to happen, so stupid.
30:43
OK, here’s some ways to buff CODI…
Have it give 300 ATK/DEF a turn instead of 200…
Shave off the limit it can go on for….
Allow it to effect both zombies and fiends….
And allow it to freely change its type between fiend (which it starts off as), Zombie (which it classically supports) and Rock (just to be cute, I mean it IS a floating stone castle) once a turn….
And maybe make it a pendulum monster too, that can search out spells/traps that specify Fiend/Zombie/Rock monsters in their text.
I remember using Cyber Jar in a combo on an Gameboy Game. I think it was to get Exodia out in a few turns.
These were downright nostalgic! Some of my favorites from back then were Morphing Jar #2 & Spear Cretin. Also, good thinking saving the honorable mentions for later lists... couldn't have said better myself & I look forward to those videos! Also also, great video y'all! 😎👍
perosnally I prefer Old Vindictive Magician to Man Eater bug because if Man Eater bug forceable gets flipps faced up by Swords of Revealing light or Desert Sunlight or something of that nature and he's the only monster on the field, he eats himself. Old Vindictive Magican will at least always hurt your opponents fielnd advantage.
Actually, speaking of Castle of Dark Illusions and Pumpking, I ran a deck like that for a Halloween duel where I used Zombie world to make Castle of Dark Illusion a zombie monster, so it's defense was a nice 2130 when it was flipped up, and used glow up bloom to summon pumpking straight from the deck, making the combo fairly easy. Ironically the hardest part about it was getting the game to go on long enough to actually do my combo, my partner would usually end up just conceding because he couldn't play around zombie world.
Thanks you and the crew for reminding me of simplier days. I absolutely do not stand the scales. That was the worst. It's like 3 scale here, 7 scale there it's like I'm weiging sliced deli meats. It's rediculous. and then you summon like 5 monsters at once. These Links don't make much sense, either. I don't have time for that. I don't care. Made me lost intrest in Yu-Gi-Oh forever. but the classics were not without their flaws. Cyber Jar and Old Vidndictive Magician are very cool.

Nobleman eater bug doesn't target....i mean that's actually a really powerful effect nowdays.
"ah yes duel kingdom rules"
Someone didn't read the manga
This channel is awesome, love all the quirky old card overviews
"The 20 something businessman" that plays tindangles is more than likely based off of Howard Phillips Lovecraft (HPL) the author who created the hounds of tindelos as they look very similar to each other
Castle of Dark illusions should have been, you can Normal summon monsters into face-down attack position. that monster is flipped face-up when it attack or is attacked.
All Dark Monsters on your field of the field Gain 500 atk and def points.
19:35 that deck and that picture should give you nightmares if you're a Yu-Gi-Oh player, if you started playing before 2008.

May I offer you a Sky Thunder AA=Zeus, Mr. Bug?
The strangest thing about Nobleman-Eater Bug to me is the name.
Like Man-Eater Bug is named this way because it eats man, so did it level 5 form just decided that it was now to powerful too just eat any old man and only wants to eat aristocrats now?
Or maybe it a nobleman now and it's actual name is Nobleman: Eater Bug?
Noble Man-Eater Bug: Eat the Rich!
If he was made today, I'm sure he'd have a name like Nobleman-Eater Bug - Man of Nobility. Of course, we just got a new Man-Eater Bug retrain, so it's not impossible!

Neat video made me think of 19 years ago. thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how you zoom in with a card while talking about it and then when you zoom back out the next card/reaction is on the screen
Very very cool idea for transitioning and a nice touch imo
Thank you! I don't like to stay on the same image for too long and I always thought it was a cool trick, so I'm glad others enjoy it, too!
I’m always up for more Yugioh related list, Mr.TopTenList! You and your friends always make them interesting with your commentary. I love how Parasite Paracide is so bad, Weevil had to cheat to actually use its effect and even then, it didn’t even work right. Isn’t Konami trying to advertise the card rather than underselling it? XD Anyway, thanks for another great list.
Thank you! It was one of those cards that was carried by its anime appearance. That's for sure.
FLIPs are okay, just competitively crippled.
Paradise Tart: funny, I got some flip monsters in my deck.
*Big Eye, Old Vendictive Magician , Poison Zombie, Scape Ghost*
My favorite part of nobleman-eater bug is that its name implies that it is not a Man-eater bug who is noble, but a bug that EXCLUSIVELY eats members of the nobility. He does not eat commoners.
Thanks now I can't un imagine needle ball with Frieza's voice XD
"none of this is useful for your video, we just got too complicated" *30 Minute Video*: YOU THINK??!!
4:14 I forgot the cards name in the background but when you added 2 copies mirroring each other, it started to look like the cloud is a monster. Look at the center of the cards mirroring. It has a millenium eye on the forehead. The cloud is a dragon.
Needleball reminds me on Rush Duels Amusi Performer. Only that Amusi Performer is a cute anime girl who has an awful singing voice making her band members suffer in the background. They recently released the last member of the trio Rhythmical Performer. Rush Duels sure have amazing artwork for their cards.
I thought Jigen means Dimension or something. Also its the name of a Boruto antagonist who is apparently someone else and forced Naruto to use a pretty good designed transformation. Also the apparently the ninetailed fox is apparent good in nuclear physics. Even I suck at that and I even study physics at collage. Someone give this demon fox his bacholor of science.
Will we get a video on Cards that "counter" or "need" specific cards to work like White Hole or that dude that has Pot of Greed on his head?
Counter cards is very interesting. Perhaps we could look at some of the weird types of counters that have appeared in the game over the years.
Tindangles is actually fitting if you take Lovecraftian horror into account, when it comes to the player who uses them. Since a big aspect of that... lets call it genre, since it is at this point, is that it a) can happen to anyone and b) hides in plain sight most of the time.
Oh man Blast Sphere. I remember that card from one of the DM era GBA games. It was the one card that i hated the most, but also wanted and could never get my hands on more than the one copy I figure out the code for
Babe wake up new Mrtoptenlist video
Flip effects activate b4 the monster is sent to grave. First atk then flip then flip effect if they have one. Then battle damage then grave
The guy with the Tindangles actually looks a bit like HP Lovecraft.
I had the same thought, he looks like one of those researchers from the stories that stumble into the Eldritch mess by sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
The Ludacris lyrics reference got me good
You know...if you have an opponent with a filled field. Then you could... possibly do this.
Set Man-Eater Bug. Then set Waboku (since it protects your monsters from destruction by battle). Someone slams into MEB. Triggers the effect and blows up a monster. Then next turn tribute set NMEB. Then when the opponent slams into Noble Bug, that's two more monsters down the drain
Convulsion of nature Plus ceremonial Bell equals learning how to play Yu-Gi-Oh because you're forced to play with your deck upside down and your hand revealed so both of you know exactly what the other one is doing
bite Shoe was one of those cards that made me go wtf when me and my friends had it back in 2002/2003 so we just plain didn't play it
Now now, I would argue that the late 1800s dressed business man perfectly matches the eldritchian horror deck. He looks like the proper man of noble British heritage that H.P. Lovecraft always made his main characters
So another thing to go with your parasite paracide segment, dummy golem also fails to work the same way when it's destroyed. Also Pharaoh's Treasure goes back in the deck face up similarly, making it also work counter-intuitively with conversion of nature.
I created some kind of Prediction Princess/Jar/ Pot/ and dijinn deck and somehow it was terrifying to see how effective it was able to stop some of the meta when the board was set up right as most fields were gone in an instant or others deck out for it can be powerful but it wouldn't work without prediction princess out on the field early sometimes.
Weather report has farts for days
32:01 It's like a Hearthstone battlecry buff
1:31 That would be because monsters can only have one "effect type"
There's also no spirit union monsters or gemini tuner monsters (Tuned Magician's gemini effect makes it a pseudo-tuner like the pseudo-flip monsters, it does not count).
25:19 Just like what they did with Diamond Dragon because UDE had a thing against letting the gem dragons keep their names (4kids was not though as Diamond Head Dragon and Ruby Dragon kept their names and Ruby Dragon would only become an actual card far later on while Diamond Head Dragon still doesn't have one) even though they were all spelled in borrowed English.
Anyone else remember when the anime showed Blast Sphere inexplicably having 2900 ATK?
I just realized, Bite Shoes is a popular reference to the Red Shoes story form Christian Andersen, it a popular trope in Japan
“Many years ago beasts called flip monsters walked across the gam. But thanks to the new modern support flips have become endangered and are on the brink of extinction. As a fliptologist it’s my job to study them.”
parasite paracide vs that grass looks greener was fun
Could not the Boys be useful in Links, Exceed strategies?
btw, I forgot that Man-Eater Bug got a retrain called Mimicking Man-Eater Bug. And nobody seemed to care because FLIP monsters are still disappointing.
I noticed that Sparks, Blue Medicine and Red Medicine have monsters supporting them. And they all happen to be cute anime girls. It appears Rush Duels really respect classic cards. Heck, even Cyber Falcon has a Fusion Monster now.
Ah yeah, flip monsters, you either had fiber jar which was broken or big eye which was a worse card advance
Plottwist: 'An unfortunate Report' is a bad Banlist.
The guy with the eldritch lovecraftian monsters looks like a vrains styled H.P. Lovecraft.

"Wants to watch the world burn" "But why Ragnarok?" Heehee
Judgment Meter being the cutest as usual
Ngl it gets even weirder for Castle of Dark Illusion is specifically a Fiend type but only affects Zombie monsters, I guess they didn't want it to boost itself but still very weird.
But funny enough, Duelist of the Roses has a very basic effect for this card where it boosts all Fiends on the field by 500 points while it is in Face up Defense. Actually doesn't sound that bad for the game in a proper deck. And ngl that sounds like a fun top ten idea, best cards that are bad in the irl tcg but cam be great in DOTR.
4:26 Wait, she didn't know what a teru teru bōzu is but when it was explained she immediately realized Castform was based on one? LOL
1:59 IS THAT A JOJO REFERANCE!
Castle of dark illusions anime-like retrain:
When summoned place a counter on this card. If attacked by a monster remove the counter. If this card has no counter, destroy this card. If this card is destroyed, destroy all fiend monsters you control. This card can not be destroyed by it's own effect for as long as the opponent affects this card, your side of the field or yourself with continuous or timed card effects.
If this card is on the field monsters you control can not be targeted or leave the field by effects or cost from your opponent's cards, except this card. This effect can be negated for one phase if the opponent attacks or uses effects that contain the words light, fire, bright, shining, luminous in their names or card description.
You can not control more than one Castle of dark illusions.
You somehow made it worse than it already is
