the question of "how many fusion monsters can Jaden make?" can be answered by the japanese version of the graduation duel against Zane/Kaiser: "Judai, your potential is limitless" Also In Duel Monster and GX, without the context of the card game, the duels gives the impression that you can fuse cards as you want, and the duel disks generate the monsters based on what you used.

One thing that suprised me most in this video, is just how many of Jadens fusion cards were made into main deck cards in the actual game

I'd like to think that Jaden just put literally every HERO fusion card that he found in there just hording heroes in case he needs them for some weirdly specific tech

The thing is, Jaden doesn’t use an Extra Deck. He uses a Fusion Deck, which at the time had no limit to the number of cards you could play. We have also seen characters in 5D’s literally create new Synchros midgame, so chances are that Jaden might be doing the same and coming up with fusions on the spot.

@makairidah8354

5 ай бұрын

Personally I believe that Jaden does create his own fusion monsters, but only when he uses super poly, since it is the ultimate fusion spell it has been shown to create a new monster into existence depending of what the user requires and what materials are available. A good example is rainbow neos, when judai was fighting agaisnt the possesed Johan it was stated that in order to free him from yubel's control he needed to destroy the field spell and purify rainbow dragon, how did he do that? By using super poly and fusing the rainbow dark dragon with Neos into a monster that had its original abilities. It is very unlikely that Judai had the card in his fusion deck since Johan has the only copy in the world and it was made very recently, meaning that the monster literally came to be thanks to the power of super poly.

Technically jaiden has a infinite extra deck at least because in the anime super polymerization can just straight up create new cards

Jaden has an extra deck? I just thought he pulled them out of thin air.

It's pretty surprising that even after all these years, they still haven't created the missing fusions between the OG E-Heroes.

During the GX era, there is no restriction about the number of extra deck card. They put the restriction, only 15 cards in Extra deck, when Synhcro Monster introduced - 5D era.

4:43 Watching those E-HERO images attaching to each other is like those patterns in universe size videos that make it clear its larger than you think.

I’ve always considered Jaden’s extra deck to be the monsters he can get out consistently, so this means all the E•HERO and Neos Contact fusions + Divine Neos & Wiseman. I don’t usually consider rainbow neos as part of it because he doesn’t really get to use it unless Jesse is there. Same with evil heroes, since they’re supreme king exclusive

I'm a bit of a purist, so I would say the Masked HEROes should probably be counted separately? Or at least only counted alongside the Elemental HERO fusions, since manga Jaden is very different from anime Jaden in a lot of ways, including that he never created and later used Neo-Spacians. Manga Jaden did use a lot of anime E-HEROes though and, let's be honest, Anime Jaden would totally use Masked HEROes as well if he could. lol

I don't think anime Jaden's extra deck should be mixed in with manga Jaden's extra deck. The manga has a totally different story from the anime with plot elements such as: 1. Jaden's E-HERO deck was given to him by a manga exclusive character named Koyo Hibiki. And a lot of the cards in this deck didn't show up in the anime, opening the gate for new E-HERO fusions such as Terra Firma, Inferno, and the six omni-HERO fusions. 2. Jaden modified the deck throughout the story, mainly adding in the Masked HEROes. 3. Similar to the Jaden vs Yugi duel in the anime, the GX manga had an epilogue-like story involving Jaden with Masked HEROes dueling Koyo Hibiki with E-HEROes. The story ends with Jaden summoning Contrast HERO Chaos (the ultimate Masked HERO monster that's technically not a Masked HERO) and Koyo Hibiki summoning Elemental HERO Core (the upgraded version of Terra Firma). And just like what happened to Neos and Slifer in the anime, the story ends with Chaos and Core facing each other with no declared winner. Also, a little bit of trivia: Absolute Zero is said to be Koyo Hibiki's "ultimate HERO." That's probably why in the OCG/TCG, its summoning requirements are a bit different and it's actually a lot easier to summon compared to the other omni-HEROes.

Still kind of wish they made all four dimensions fight on equal ground and had the Yu boys find a way to unify them all than doing the whole "Fusion > XYZ and Synchro is the ref" and kind of pretend Zexal didn't exist cause it was destroyed. Don't get me wrong I love Yuto to death, but the plot focusing on which summoning mechanic was best by making one objectively evil for no reason was odd. (well they were manipulated by Declan's father but still felt like they were trying to make the players throw hands).

Jaden took "extra deck" literally.

You have scenes where both Yugi on DM and Jaden on GX look at their decks in a table,card for card,and we can see that the Fusions Cards exists.

oh, I would be curious to see how many fusion monsters Jaden could add to his current deck. I am still hoping for some missing fusions like Evil Hero Counterparts for Mariner or Steam Heater and misisng fusion combinations like Bladedge + Avian. Maybe Konami can make them worth using.

Jaden is a ruthless card printing machine. He is so strong that he can creat new cards in his duels as he see fit. Like in the movie bonds beyond time he also created a new fusion

Technically, it’s said that Jaden could use the fusion monsters Astro used when he fighted against Zane, so it could go to the possible extra deck cards

Every extra deck monsters in Yugioh anime since the start is basically tool for plot armors lol to activate the effect whatever needed to win the games. But worst one got to be Yuya, he created a whole type of summoning mechanic mid duel on the 1st eps

Yo @tcgrheory do you play RuneScape because that background in your video is an aura from RuneScape if I’m not mistaken

I'd likely consider his extra deck to be at least double what's stated in this video. In this video we cover only cards wek now exist, but that chart of fusions shows how many likely other fusions exist but simply were never needed for any duel.

And after 20 years I collected all of them in different rarity 😍

Back then it was in Yugioh and GX it was the fusion deck and it had no limit when Synchro Is when it became Extra Deck with a 15 limit

Dont forget about the Alternate Heros Aster played

Back when gx was on the air people used to play TONS of random fusions in the fusion deck for metamorphosis

In some old mechanics/rules in anime, primarily at Battle City, the Fusion Material would just stays on the field, just the hologram that got fused and becoming the Fusion monsters. Aside from that, maybe he just swapped some Fusions for others to try other Fusions with other E-HEROs or people called it "siding"

This video reminds me of the first time I saw a skill in duel links that adds a crap ton of fusions to Jaden’s extra deck. Freaking scared me

They did make a retrain of neos wiseman that IS fusion so it counts (look there are multiple cards in duel monsters and GX that became links in TCG including (for some reason) defender of the labyrinth so it’s fair game)

4 Fusions I wished we got in the anime 1 Avian + Sparkman 2 Avian + Clayman 3 Sparkman + Burstinatrix 4 Avian + Sparkman + Clayman + Burstinatrix = Elemental Hero Grandmerge ATK 4200 DEF 4200 and keep the ability when this card destroys a monster it can be a different Elemental Hero Fusion Monster we should have gotten him instead of Electrum who only makes 4 duel appearances. 1 against Banner Debut , 1 against Kagemaru and 2 against X.

This brings up one more importend thing. Where do they all store there extradecks? As we know a dueldisc has the 5 monster + 5 trap/spellcard + one fieldspell slot. At least the deckplace and the graveyard and thats it. Where ar the extra cards?

yes the do and when are we getting the yellow masked hero

I've always just thought there is no extra deck in the anime, a little like how forbidden memories works but with poly

That's why ppl liked fusion including me Polymerization+2+ monsters = strong

What is an air neos? Never heard about such a fanmade card

I think the first Tag Force Game and maybe the second too had a Fusion Deck of 30. Metamorphosis was not even at 0 in TF1 so you had extra options. In TF3 it was already called Extra Deck then because it has Synchro Monsters in it and this was still technically a GX Game covering the last season of GX.

The amazing thing about his deck is 2 key card. Super Poly and Neos,which is Neos can fusion with any GX ace card and Super Poly can create Omni Heroes.

So how would your pronounce Neo from The Matrix?

You forgot one, Avian + TF2 Soldier = The Perfect Avian Killing Machine

"Knegh-Ohs" That irked me when it really shouldn't have. Neos is "Nee-Ohs"

Also, he uses the ones that don't care about names in the manga like tornado, gaia, abso and the fire (heat + lady) one. I think he actually summons Escuiardo in the mage once too. That could also be part of part 2.

I'm of the opinion that at least at that point in the universe there were not specific separate cards for the fusion monsters. They would simply come into existence whenever you got a fusion combo that was valid

Heroes/neo space are still my favorite archetypes.

Burtinatrix and avian also does phoenix enforcer

Leaving out Nebula Neos which is probably the best Neos fusion outside of Neos Knight.

May I suggest doing yumas endless extra deck next

Wish I we seen a Burstinatrix/Sparkman fusion

In season 3 Jaden unveiled some cool fusion monsters but only used some once, plasma vice chaos neos marine neos storm neos etc

The extra deck didn't get the 15 card limit until Synchro summoning began. Before that, it was unrestricted in the TCG and 25 in the videogames.

In the first season, he only used around 14 to 15 fuaion monsters. Each had specific requirements. However, as later seasons happened, his extra deck exploded.

Jaden was sick.

As a kid I always assumed there weren't actually Fusion Cards in the anime. Like... the game just kind of fused shit and you got what you got (don't ask me how it works outside of the holograms, because I don't even think the creators of the anime know), and that's how we got that Mammoth Graveyard / Blue Eyes fusion. So Jaiden doesn't have an extra deck, he just has the Heroes and the Poly.
