Watching this and the history of Yugioh tcg is fascinating because there are obvious differences between the two

The main difference is that the TCG released tons of cards very quickly (in an effort to catch up to the OCG) so things progressed much faster. Many decks and cards had a chance to be viable in the OCG but never got the chance to shine in the TCG. This also means that some cards were missed and either never came out or took a long time to actually come out (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon being the most notable case). This is all stuff I'll touch on more in the future.

@@chaosmagician438 cool I can't wait to see it

This series makes the old cards make SO much more sense. I'd love to play with these rules and cards

I was so happy when I saw this uploaded. I watched the 1st video you made a few months ago but it already have been posted for 2 or 3 months. I thought you where one and done. This series is amazing please keep going.

Had a giant yugioh fixation again a few months back, that's where i found your channel and clicked the bell icon after subscribing, the thing that so many youtubers tell me too but i never do. My fixation is gone for now but i'll still keep on following this series :)

Woodstock ‘99: most chaotic event in summer 1999. First Yugioh event held at Tokyo Dome: hold my Promotional Pack you can never buy anywhere else ever again.

Goat format but allowing duel monsters cards that didn't come to tcg by then is actually the EXACT format me and a few friends have begun playing over webcam haha. Definitely always looking for more players who are down to play! We don't follow a list too strictly and none of us have really good decks.

That's cool!

Incidentally, I want it to be added that a lot of early cards came from the video games, which had a rudimentary fusion mechanic. I looked it up, and apparently Fusionist was made by fusing any Fairy with any Beast monster that had less ATK than it, and Rare Fish was made by fusing any Beast and any Fish/Aqua monster with less ATK than it. I guess that when they adapted those cards into the game, they just picked two monsters that _could_ be used to make them. And then they didn't check to see whether Fusionist was already a Fusion itself.

THIS, even if he spoke of the videogame, he just talked about it as a sidenote without realizing how important that was to the early card design. the early boosters are taken straight from the game. that's why fusions are so weak, why there are so many recolored monsters, and also why ritual summoning is so different in the games, as it came out months earlier than in paper.

I remember when the title said part 1 :)

YOU ARE BACK?! AND GREATER THAN EVER?! LETS GOOOO

This Yugioh history is incredible, it's so cool to see how things evolved. Great video!

It's worth noting that Crush Card Virus in the manga was even more complex, since you had to have the monster be destroyed by battle before the virus could activate. It seemed to be kind of like an equip card.

Which really plays into the 'virus' aspect a bit more; your opponent gets 'infected' by inadvertently coming into contact w/ a 'contagious' monster. And including that aspect of the card would have made it more balanced anyway! Goes to show that Konami has been poorly adapting anime/manga cards since the beginning (tho. this is hardly the 1st or best example of that).

Honestly, it's not that surprising that the Dark Duel Stories promos came out so early to those who played the video games. I remember Eternal Duelist Soul having all these cards, as well as stuff like Vorse Raider and Ring of Destruction, back when the main card pool only went up to half of TCG Pharaoh's Servant (i.e. OCG Curse of Anubis).

Literally first this time. Also this is an interesting topic, and I’m surprised you’re one of (if not The) only people to cover this

Thanks. I've got some great stuff coming up, and it should be coming out much faster now.

WOW! The scans for the tournament rules and entry passes are so kool to see! ty for researching this!

Your work is excellent and very underranted.

Good shit to see this back, can't wait for more man. Super interested to see this ocg history no one else is covering.

Really hoping for a new video, really interesting to hear all the changes in this game's history in general.

Thank you for making these videos. I will be watching your career with great interest!

Thank you! You rock!

Amazing video, its fun to hear all the stories and your research and narration skills are great, hope you make a part 3, would love to see it

Can you make something relevant to GOAT OCG as you have mentioned?Would be very interesting to learn about the card pool/ban lists or deck lists.

Amazing job. Cant wait for the next one!

Very interesting series of videos. I had no idea the Exodia card parts were not all released together in Japan. Looking forward to Part 3!

great videos man! keep it up :)

Looking forward to more of this

Amazing series!! Waiting for more!!

oh shit part two is here

I was waiting for this upload.

Thanks for the video

Man this series is really good! Great job man!

These are super interesting keep it up ^^

Holy crap! I just realized that when I hit subscribe, you had 199 subscribers! But when I clicked on your main page, it became 200! I'm subscriber number 200! WOOOO!

Love these videos so much I never knew.

This is an absolute gem of a channel

These videos are pure gold.

Fantastic dedication to the subject matter; encyclopedic and illuminating. Thank you for your work!

It was really fun to see! In fact, I checked the video once and I was at 10:00... then out of the blue when I checked again, it was over! Passed by like a train! Great work, keep it up.

These videos are super interesting, I'm really looking forward to future parts. Having only known how Yu-Gi-Oh is/was in the west, it's crazy to finally learn its actual origins.

In my head still history started in 2002 with Legend of the Blue Eyes White Dragon, so all this OCG prehistory is like first hearing about the stone age.

I am your 300th subscriber

Number of Dislikes=Number of Times Pot of Greed was unbaned.

I have the exact same OCG house rule for goat format :D we should play some time!

cool

Please make more

I'd probably play Yu-Gi-Oh more if the OGSB rules were still existent, perhaps with the addition of ritual cards. Nowadays it's too complex, with the myriad card types and microscopic text effects hurting my brain 🙈 i remember my first decks, the rulebook said "Ritual summoning coming soon" 😂

Do you think that Crush Card Virus existed to put a lid on players just stuffing their decks with the highest attack level 4 monsters?
