Yugioh Lore Discussion

[lean surge]

We'd have so many archetypes covered by now.

[maiden thicket]

IIRC the AI's have backups which include their emotional memory, but Karma's got destroyed during the attack from the opening chapters so Pylon had to start from scratch while Solferina basically picked up from when she died minus a few hours.

[lean surge]

I see.

In any case, Zard returning is very possible.

[maiden thicket]

Zard's still alive, just a half wrecked head

only "mostly dead"

[lean surge]

Azalea will prob destroy the head by next chapter, imo. Then Zard returns in a backup body or smthg is what I expect.

Not sure how they are going to connect this to Linkage LORE.

[maiden thicket]

I can also see her keeping Zard just to have someone to gloat to

[lean surge]

They already did the whole Kagari v Zeke thing with hearts calling out for help or whatever scene.

But Alt Kagari didn't happen.

Same with HAMP and on.

[maiden thicket]

technically we did get alt kagari at its debut

but yeah not really

[lean surge]

Eh, disagree.

Alt Kagari is her without her limiters or whatever.

I was confused when they did the Zeke fight/heart scene so early since shoving in HAMP to alt shizuku part in here when Azalea was watching them didn't seem feasible.

Now, reconnecting to another Zeke fight seems super awkward in story.

[maiden thicket]

I don't see linkage, but given that the chapter ended with Roze being attacked I can see Shizuku alt happening

[lean surge]

I guess they could completely retool the Alt Kagari -> HAMP -> Linkage -> Alt Shizuku to different story bits.

Say she becomes Alt Kagari in the future vs the 2 Clone Strikers, then Zard sends out a retooled Zeke as HAMP, then Raye's sword breaks, then she uses Roze's and then so on.

[maiden thicket]

who knows at this point

but I do agree the order is everything is probably gonna get shuffled

[foggy lotus]

Wait I don't remember this card from cyac

[halcyon crane]

This is Visas card?

[foggy lotus]

Yeah I just don't remember this

[halcyon crane]

By the wings alone you could be mistaken for Red-Eyes stuff

[foggy lotus]

Hah

[grim marten]

Ohhhh that’s cool

So it’s basically “do I become the good guy again or do I just use this new power to be an even stronger bad guy”

[foggy lotus]

The choice thing is pretty lore-friendly

YEAH

I dig that

[grim marten]

so this is probably where the story ends?

I guess they could answer which one he picks but stopping right here also works

[halcyon crane]

So because most, if not all his alts are baddies, he decided to reincarnated as Manadome instead?

[foggy lotus]

Yeah this is kind of surprising it doesn't leave that much room for a follow-up but who knows

[halcyon crane]

Is that what Im getting?

[foggy lotus]

He got overwhelmed by the amount of emotions is what I'm getting

And Manadome had to rider kick some balance back into him

I wish this person took photos of everything

I might just fucking preorder the book next year

So I can take pics myself

[lean surge]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fr4LGGQWYAIJ7ia?format=jpg&name=large

@foggy lotus Could you tl this part?

They seem unsure about it.

Also, where's the prologue tled by ygorg they mentioned at the start?

[devout hearth]

that's the clear new world bit

In a space where everything is enveloped in deep darkness, a glitter indescribable as a birth nor an ending burst open.
Green, blue, red…with the passage of time, among the various planets that increased this glitter, a small blue glitter became a planet and began pouring over the green planet.”

“Chapter 1: Primitive Planet Reichphobia
[REDACTED]”```

[lean surge]

Thank.

So, there are only these 3 colors/planets, even tho they refer to being the 4th and 6th planets?

I guess, there may be 3 inner planets and 3 outer.

Wonder why Visas is emotionless even tho, it looks his positive emotions are still inside him whereas the negative emotions are something he needs to go out and collect.

[foggy lotus]

Strangely, Primeheart attempted to restore the original Visas by merging himself with Vicious, just as Riseheart did. [Vicious'] rampage subsided, and as a result, the gentle guardian disappeared. Perhaps as a result of repeated stress, the world began to crack open and its colours began to fade. His entire consciousness began to break down. Amidst the crumbling world, Visas was confronted with a final choice.

Had to make some educated guesses as to the context but yeah

[lean surge]

Wait, this completely skipped over what the Kashtira cross archetype cards were.

[devout hearth]

[foggy lotus]

JUST GIVE US PICS OF THE PAGES REE

[long bison]

...so nothing on what happened to Kitkallos, huh?

I guess Konami just didn't care about anyone in the story except for the Visases.

[halcyon crane]

You know that meme of lore vs gameplay where the lore section is always the better of the two

I feel like Tear & Spright is exact opposite of that

[foggy lotus]

Ah they run the text through a JP dictionary that explains a lot

[lean surge]

So, is Visas Passport LORE like a metaphor for trauma.

Where he loses all emotion, and then seeks out worse emotions and then becomes destructive and it is only until he finds good emotios within that he gets better.

Then again, metaphor for trauma is like the easy mode for theories when emotions are embodied.

[celest storm]

When are we going to get an archetype equivalent of cells at work

[lean surge]

That does feel like an Yugioh archetype.

[halcyon crane]

[jade iron]

Another lore book release, another disappointed lore fan

[grim marten]

I really like that idea tbh

[long bison]

I hope we get a card showing him reawakening in the real world and moving on.

[grim marten]

@foggy lotus

[foggy lotus]

I am not reading that

Even if I wanted to

[grim marten]

Is it all too blurry?

[foggy lotus]

Yeah waaaay too blurry

[grim marten]

Is the mardel/hela one at least decent enough?

[foggy lotus]

It's also super late so I'll have to look at it tomorrow morning but uhhhh

[grim marten]

Okay! I’ll try to get better images by then

[foggy lotus]

These are unreadable or close to unreadable

[grim marten]

Got it!

[long bison]

Bruh moment

Some people don't deserve cameras.

Or at least take enough pictures to find a steady one.

[white depot]

People who take photos like that need their eyes checked if they think that’s readable

[viral orbit]

it's like someone took these while running...

[hollow wraith]

real leaks look like they were taken during an earthquake

[foggy lotus]

It happens sometimes you may not notice until you post it

[white depot]

Not me but then little things like that drive me crazy. I have some OCD with presentation

[grim marten]

This is all I got

They posted more of the blurry page but they’re just as bad if not worse

[foggy lotus]

[halcyon crane]

C'mon give us a bone

I'm fine with blurred image but blurred kanji is bane to non-native speakers I swear

[grim marten]

These are the other ones

Ngl I missed two of them being somewhat clear

[foggy lotus]

It's still kind of a trainwreck but I can at least do the Runick one

Befriend Runick sprites(fairies.. same thing) and fight together
Sprites provide you information about special items* scattered throughout the world and can assist you in battle by expending Runick light**. If you befriend them, your adventure will become even more exciting!

*アイテム　"item" is obviously just any old thing laying around so I added "special" to emphasise their specific status
**kind of like "mana" in this context

[frigid sigil]

Wow Ducky we have our work saved

I honestly think the small ones aren't all that interesting

[foggy lotus]

NO I'M NOT JEALOUS THEY GOT TO IT FIRST

[frigid sigil]

And what's the foreshadow? Lab sisters? Vaylantz earth fairy faction? We already know about them

[foggy lotus]

Yeah I think so

[frigid sigil]

Visa remaining worlds is more hype

[foggy lotus]

I'm wondering if the lore will continue

WE NEED MORE DUNE REVEALS

[frigid sigil]

Also Nini equip spells makes sense now in hindsight

Japanese theme Miko using rondo and abarasque moves?

[foggy lotus]

Yeah

[lean surge]

Wait, the Aria sisters refer to themselves as the youngest and talk about a middle sister.

[frigid sigil]

Yeah, the two shadows in big welcome

[lean surge]

Does this mean, it's like someone older than them, and there's a older sister above middle one?

[frigid sigil]

I think maybe lovely lab is the big sis

[lean surge]

Explains the 2 shadows in Big Welcome being the oldest and middle.

Lovely Lab is in the background of Big Welcome.

The evoked god selects the Mikanko with the most exemplary performance to serve as the vessel for their earthly manifestation.

Was thinking something closer to Megalith

Bethor was what I had in mind at first

[grim marten]

Damn those are nice

Also I saw the Reddit post of the other lores and it said Runick seems to be translated. Anyone got a link

[lean surge]

I can't seem to find it.

There are a couple of tiny screenshots going around but not much.

I just noticed the person who tled in the above post was Bioober.

[frigid pilot]

@verbal pewter @fallen plume

[primal spire]

Is the WL gate the remaining stuff?

[worldly jewel]

what is the meme of visas passport referring to

[lean surge]

I call him that because his name is Visas Starfrost and sounds like Visas Passport.

It mildly caught on when people meme about him/the LORE.

[lean surge]

Yes.

[long bison]

I find the "Hey Visas, Starfrost here" meme alot funnier tbh.

Like, is the Passport meme also alluding to him travelling around worlds or something?

[frigid pilot]

^

[lean surge]

It was quite literally me thinking Visa=Passport is funny. That's it.

Cly also really liked it and says it the same way when talking about those cards or LORE.

[foggy lotus]

Yeah I think it's a cute nickname

[long bison]

Ohh, now I get it.

[jade iron]

I do like that interpretation exists from something so simple

[lean surge]

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/125yk4m

[long bison]

Feels like we have way higher quality images than this somewhere.

Ohh...right. yugipedia's still recovering those, right?

[silver harbor]

Yup

[tacit patio]

Hey, so I did a quick lookover the Runick lore from VBEX3 pics posted here. It wasn't really enough to do good translation at all, but I did an attempt at translating some other readable things.

It's definitely treating the Runick/Generaider world as a game similar to the Vaylantz version.

Some of the Japanese I could pick up...

Generaider Boss Room/Runick Smiting Storm
広範囲に影響を及はず嵐の鉄槌による最大攻撃で、一気に女王の[***]まで駆け抜けてしまうのも手だ。

冥界の亡者は、「死の王」が放つ不死の呪いで何度でも封活を遂げ、、だんだんと数を増やして攻めてくれ。効果的なのは解呪で消滅させるこ事だが、練度がたりないとジリ貧に。

Loptr/Laevateinn
最後の「王」を倒すと。。。
９体の「王」をすべてたおしたあと、巨大な石の匣を訪れると仮面の魔道士が仮面を外し、恭しい一礼と共にてう述べる。「長旅で苦労だったね、キミのおかげで匣の封印は解かれた。」ここから追加の台だ。そこにはどんな「王」たちが待つのか？！
EXステージの「王」はキミの目で確かめように！

Loptr, Shadow of the Generaider Bosses
キミを助け、導いてくれた仮面の魔道士。その目的とは。。。

[I literally only cannot read one kanji out of those.]

[fading yarrow]

Could not resolve English data for searches: i literally only cannot read one kanji out of those.

[tacit patio]

...this is going to be annoying if it does that whenever brackets are used.

[silver harbor]

it does indeed respond to brackets

[tacit patio]

Well, I hope people use these to translate it properly.

[silver harbor]

I don't think brackets vs parentheses will make that big a difference

[tacit patio]

No, it's just that I use brackets instead of parentheses 90% of the time.

[silver harbor]

ah

[viral orbit]

wait ... hold up.. where have seen such forehead gems before...

[fading yarrow]

Knightmare Incarnation Idlee

[viral orbit]

down to the black + shape (at least on kosmochlor)

[fading yarrow]

Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth

Shaddoll Core

[viral orbit]

don't you dare turn aegirine into the catalyst of yet another wanna be Sophia callback

[silver harbor]

I mean forehead gems are just a really common design trope

[foggy lotus]

Bless you for your hard work

Runick Smiting Storm
You can also just run straight to the queen's ***(throne room/chamber maybe if I was to blind guess?) by using your hammer's powerful attack that catches everything around it in a tempest.

Generaider Boss Room
The spirits of the underworld will continue to revive thanks to a spell cast by the Generaider Boss and will attack you in rapidly-increasing numbers. The most effective way is destroy them by undoing the spell's effects, but if you're not proficient enough, then you will become overwhelmed.

Loptr/Laevateinn
When the final Generaider Boss is defeated...
After defeating the 9 Generaider Bosses and approach a giant stone casket, the masked mage removes his mask, bows respectfully, and says, "It was a long and arduous journey, but thanks to you the seal on the casket is undone." A bonus stage begins. What kind of Generaider Boss awaits you?! See for yourself who the Generaider Boss of the EX Stage is!

Loptr, Shadow of the Generaider Bosses
The masked mage that assisted and guided you [along your journey]. What is his goal...?

[viral orbit]

yeh but it's like shows up once each lore and never again until the next one.

i mean i'm just joking (since the gem color ain't the same) but who knows at this point.

i'm just keeping an eye on it.

Especially with the + shape being a recurring thing

[tacit patio]

So which lores do we still lack?

Just Runick?

[foggy lotus]

I've lost track at this point honestly

[viral orbit]

idk either

[tacit patio]

I can grab the text for another part...

[frigid sigil]

Besides Runick (if there's any more), everything else is done

[tacit patio]

There's more, it's just that it has the worst scans.

Generaider Boss Quest/Runick Flashing Fire
弾速の高い「神碑」で「王」の翼を撃ち抜け
序盤に訪れる「天界」ではスピードに優れる「剣の王」とその御使いが待つ。宙空を自由に飛び回るので、こちらも「神碑」からスピード重視の太陽の熱戦を放ち、御使いたちをたおしていこう。翼を打ち抜ければ大チャンスが訪れる。

This is obviously not a translation, but I think that, since there's no stamp on Golden Droplet as opposed to the others, it's not a weapon you use on Mardel, but rather, a reward for helping her. The goblet heals you when you die or something.

The others are clearly 'use weapon on boss'.

Also, to the right of this section I posted, it has the words **「王」攻略 ** legible.

Funny how there's no obvious strategy for Harr.

Anyway, I can't get any other text because it's all too blurry, so we'll need better pics.

...well, maybe one thing.

２体の強力な「王」

Nidhogg, Generaider Boss of Ice/Runick Dispelling
徒党で「王」に挑むと、思わぬ脅威に見舞われる。氷対策だけでなく、入念な準備をおすすめするぞ。

「光の王」を攻略すると、解呪の力を発揮できる[###]を手に入れられる。「氷の王」へ至る道中で出会う力なき[***]を解呪の力で助けてあげると、仲間として立ち上がれるぞ。

...due to the stipulations, here's my guess.

-you need to go to the dragon's lair and get the gold for the fairy queen
-fairy queen gives you special treasure which gives you a new power
-you can now dispel curses for the ice king
-you also can defeat the death queen then

I say this because Jormungandr and Mardel are on the same section, as are Nidhogg and Hela.

[tacit patio]

Oh, and Runick Allure's section is a column about "仮面の魔道士の力".

[foggy lotus]

WAIT

So they are the same lore?

aslkjdghkawehg

[tacit patio]

It's a strategy guide, isn't it?

[primal spire]

Uh ... yeah we knew that?

Like the Runick Fountain is literally Harr

The guy in Runick Allure is Loptr

[foggy lotus]

I'm not doubting other people knowing it

I didn't

I also know nothing of generaiders which is probably why

[frigid sigil]

Loptr being actual final boss is energy

[white depot]

I thought what’s in the casket is the final boss

[tacit patio]

What casket?

[silver harbor]

A coffin

[tacit patio]

I meant which card?

[silver harbor]

I don’t think it’s on any card, just referenced in the lore blurbs

[lean surge]

How did we end up so that Runick is the one VBEX entry that we have incomplete scans/tls for.

[halcyon crane]

Damn

[foggy lotus]

It might be power was sealed in the coffin/casket

And the masked mage needed it to be unsealed to become final boss

[grim marten]

I’m glad we’re at least getting pieces of it but yeah it is sad

I like that it mentions Generaider Boss EX Stage 👀
Maybe this is like Vaylantz & Laby where future support is being hinted at

[celest storm]

Isn’t the boss EX stage supposed to be the new xyz

At least that’s what I’m getting from it

[grim marten]

Yeah but it says stage so I’m coping that it means a new field

[lean surge]

It's talking about the new Xyz as the boss of the Extra stage.

Maybe we do get a new field, but it's not like each of the old Generaiders all had a field each.

Maybe one day we do get another field so their Metaverse trap letting you grab any Generaider field make more sense.

[viral orbit]

i mean the Fairy Xyz hints at more Xyz monsters coming.

since for whatever reason it can only summon non-fairy Xyz ... but there is only 1 other non-fairy xyz...

[lean surge]

But the blurb alone doesn't say much in terms of new support, imo.

Same with the fucking 12 Vaylantz cards blurb.

Konami has to be wanting to poison product if they want to make that many Vaylantz. And the newest Trap is another card, not in the 12 of the third faction.

Lab is the only one I feel is kinda guaranteed to happen from the blurb. But that's partly from already have them on the latest Trap art.

[viral orbit]

i mean effect wise. cuz like it literally could have listed jormungandr. but instead it leaves room for more Xyz monsters.

i guess the same with the trap that activates the field spell

[grim marten]

Specifically Fenrir

It’s based on Ragnarok which involves Jormungandr and Fenrir

[tacit patio]

This doesn't stop them from releasing both as one card either.

[tacit patio]

Hey so this is lore stuff.

OCGの長編ストーリーでありがちなイラストに写らなくなったキャラの安否不明問題は烙印でも起きているが、ヴァリュアブル・ブックEX3の開かれし大地の設定画にひっそりと載る部分によると、テオとアディンに純鈞は生きているらしい。こういうフォローは他の物語でも欲しいが、現行の話以外は難しいか。

軒轅剣は妖眼とは違ってちゃんと古代中国十大神剣の一つであるし、戦後に純鈞と合流している所からしても、テオとアディンはすっかり相剣の仲間になっている印象だ。承影もコスモクロアと並んで「散りゆく」と表現されていたので、主を失った者同士、大霊峰の復興を彼らがしていくのだろうか。

[viral orbit]

yah but Laevatein already takes creative liberties
after all it's named after the weapon that was meant to kill Víðópnir... and the weapon itself has nothing to do with Ragnarok other than the fact Loki made it...

[frigid sigil]

Was this actually in the book as some kind of commentary?

Oh he's just commenting on the book personally

Uhhh

Branded lore often leaves us wondering if a characters's dead or alive when they're no longer in the card art

But in boundless open land in vbex3 we can see characters in the background like Theo and Adin who are fine

He comments he kind of wants stories of other characters in the albaz lore but it might be kind of hard to get any

[tacit patio]

It's two posts in a row, so what about the second one?

[foggy lotus]

Looking at it now

So unlike Iris Swordsoul (thanks localisation), Golden Swordsoul (thanks again localisation) are one of the ten great swords in chinese mythos

Uhhh

And judging by the fact that they're with..

That swordsoul kirin, fuck these names

After the war, looks like theo and adin became allies of the swordsoul

And since both kosmochlor and chengying are gone

He wonders if the swordsoul kirin and adin/theo, both now without masters, would work together to rebuild/restore the great summit

There

It's the blue text.

[foggy lotus]

Ah hah thank you

WHY IS THERE A RUNICK GUN

[tacit patio]

There's a Runick harp too.

Also, because it's a game, so.

[devout hearth]

"i cast fireball" 🤮
"i cast gun" 😎

[foggy lotus]

Pierce the Wings of the Generaider Boss with your Runick high-velocity rounds
Waiting for you in the Heavenly Realm that you went through at the beginning of the game is the Generaider Boss of Swords who possesses exceptional speed, and their angels. As they fly freely in the air, fire your Runick weapon that shoots high velocity sun rays to defeat the angels. If you can hit the boss' wings, you will also get a big opening.

Yeah literally "just use your gun and shoot their wings lol"

This lore is adorable

[foggy lotus]

The two blurry words are "necklace" and "person"
「光の王」を攻略すると、解呪の力を発揮できる首飾りを手に入れられる。「氷の王」へ至る道中で出会う力なき者を解呪の力で助けてあげると、仲間として立ち上がれるぞ。

[tacit patio]

Alright.

[foggy lotus]

Two Powerful Generaider Bosses

Nidhogg, Generaider Boss of Ice/Runick Dispelling
If you face this boss with a party, you will come across unexpected threats. We recommend you plan carefully as well as bringing ice protection!

Once you defeat the Generaider Boss of Light, you will receive a necklace with dispelling powers. If you use this to assist people in need along your way to the Generaider Boss of Ice, they'll come assist you during the fight!

God the localisation sounds like such a mess

氷の王 "Generaider of Ice"

But we have to add in boss to emphasise their status as a game boss sort of thing WHICH MAKES SENSE but it's kind of awkward when you have to type it in full

[stone prism]

Now all Adin/Theo need to do is:

1. Get Aegirine out her Emo stage and convince her to work together with them.

2. Somehow get Iris her body back from Quem, or get her soul back and fuse her with Mo Ye's body (2nd plan is easier said than done).

[foggy lotus]

Fleur's gone with Cartesia

[silver harbor]

Both plans are easier said than done

And Iris is probably completely exhausted after wresting control of the Saint Amalgam from Quem, even for such a short time

[glacial dune]

I CAST FIST

I think that's what Runick Destruction does.

outside of it replicating arc-v's same face deal

The short of it: Visas is a broken man whose emotions literally took his form, and he's flying through space to find them.

[foggy lotus]

Now he's found some and some new hot dude's showed up

[halcyon crane]

It is Arc-V with bit of Vrains, in that Visas almost always emotionless looks is similar to Yusaku

1000 yard stare doesn't cut it anymore

[tacit patio]

Oh huh, didn't see that new Visas cards are coming.

[lean surge]

Wanted to mention some observations regarding new Visas stuff.

New statline of Lv 8 2500/2100 Warrior dropped.

Visas Synchro's name is Visas Amirtara. Seems to be a combo of Amrita Immortal and Tara Star.

Evil md counterpart is Vedas Kalantha. Kala is Time and Antha is End.

Vedas is the part that tipped me off on the search Hinduism/Sanskrit bit.

Tho not sure why they are repeating that, since Kash's Kshatriya was also of similar origin.

Unless Scareclaw and Tear was also same and we didn't notice, but I don't think that was the case.

The backrow has the same kanji as [New Clear World].

[fading yarrow]

Clear New World

Effect

Target 1 face-up monster you control; destroy it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 monster from your Deck in Defense Position, with a different original Type and Attribute, whose Level is lower than that monster's original Level, but negate its effects. You can only activate 1 "Clear New World" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[tacit patio]

I've been taking them as being related to the Buddhist reincarnation cycle, I admit, but it is hard to tell whether Tearlaments or Kashtira is supposed to be Heaven.

Also, no planet number, huh.

[primal spire]

Makes sense since

[Visas starfrost]

[fading yarrow]

Visas Starfrost

Level: 6
[ Warrior / Tuner / Effect ]

ATK 2100 / DEF 1500

Effect

If this card is in your hand: You can target 1 monster you control with a different Type and Attribute than this card; destroy that monster, and if you do, Special Summon this card. You can only use this effect of "Visas Starfrost" once per turn. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can make this card gain ATK equal to half the original ATK or DEF of that monster (whichever is higher, your choice if tied).

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[primal spire]

Its clearly related to him

So the spells that are also related to him keep thr naming convention

[tacit patio]

Alright.

...huh.

Fear, sorrow, fury, end...

Is this a Metal Gear Solid 3 reference now?

[lean surge]

The spell that doesn't have it reads as Destruction of Worlds or smthg, but the forced Reading is as Worlds together or smthg.

Kinda matches with the effects of popping, I guess.

Oh ye, New Visas and the Evil md have similar clothes.

Except the tips of Visas clothes are in diff colors repping each Heart he has met.

[tacit patio]

Orange, red, green, blue.

[primal spire]

I dont think he's evil

Thats just Reichheart

[lean surge]

True.

He does look like older Reichheart with all the green.

[viral orbit]

funny how of all the hearts .... the one that killed first is the one that lived...

[lean surge]

Ok, ignoring the Reichnotheart.

Rest of the cards seem to tell the story after Visas got kicked out his inner world or whatever.

Smthg smthg lead to the creation of a new world.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs7_T0LakAI03bI?format=jpg&name=large

This has 7 Planets on it. The New World S/Ts we got might be referencing this, tho not calling it a 7th world or smthg.

On that note, isn't Manadome smthg on the inside, so where is there a planet here with the rest of the outer worlds?

Anyway, Visas choice of become destructive again or accept the peace or whatever, seems to have gone the latter route. With him becoming a Synchro outside the Manadome world then descending back in.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs3EOkbacAIQCzt?format=jpg&name=large

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs7_enfaIAAmAZr?format=jpg&name=large

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs7_rbgakAEARZw?format=jpg&name=large

[candid pebble]

a better finale than ARC-V

nice

[lean surge]

Also, the Kashified mons have become normal. Not a new monster, smh. No Rulk retrain.

And now all three tribes or prob 4 including Manadome balls are under his control.

Since as they bow to him now.

Sadly don't have a HQ pic of this yet.

[tacit patio]

Or that's #5 descending.

[long bison]

Shame they didn't give him a multi color aura in his artwork.

To show he has mastered himself completely.

[tacit patio]

Maybe it's to imply he hasn't, since they added that new guy.

[long bison]

In any case, I do hope we get those new Scareclaw, Tearlaments and Kashtira monsters in the trap card.

At the very least, the Scareclaw looks pretty cool.

[lean surge]

They aren't new.

[long bison]

[viral orbit]

i really don't care about what's going on with Visas tbh. Reich's fate seems much more interested

[celest storm]

Ruler->Bitch->Damsel in Distress-> Final Fantasy cosplay?

[long bison]

Selfcest*

[candid pebble]

Yuya/Yuto/Yugo/Yuri

[halcyon crane]

Whoever make Visas lore really just here to rewrite Arc-V with better ending

[tacit patio]

By not having to make a baby smile?

[long bison]

Instead of keeping the worlds split, it's merging them together. All according to Leo's plan lmao

[halcyon crane]

With better method yeah

World of Boundless Consciousness is the turning point, like, in the anime, it's Leo forced Yu-boys to merge into Z-Arc against their will
But in this, he consciously making decision of his own

Hmm all of this can be avoided by good therapy

[viral orbit]

bitch
... don't make me imagine Visas doing it with a Funko Pop

[viral orbit]

the better ending: all of the hearts die but one...

[halcyon crane]

Punt the Funko Pop

[halcyon crane]

See, the main difference is the only bad Yu boy is Yuri while it's feels like almost every other Visas are baddies
That ought to tell you what kind of person Visas are if he has nothing but negative emotions

[viral orbit]

saying that the hearts are bad is... does not even scratch the surface

the dudes are more than Tyrants

still imo Reino is the worsrt..

puts locks on fish ppl and be like: cry for me bitches...

[hollow wraith]

tbf the fish people did ruin the meta for months on end

[halcyon crane]

Yeah but at that point it's just pedantry owo
You get the point across, Visas boys are bad people compared to Yu boys and at that point do you have better alternatives than kill all of your negative emotions and moved on to be better person?

[viral orbit]

Reino made them like that

we blame Reino

[long bison]

It's never the cute waifus fault! VISAS BAD!!! MAN BAD!!!1!

But ye, I do hope we get to now explore his more positive emotions in those new planets.

Has to be the next step, right?

[viral orbit]

i mean they were literally enslaved and brainwashed

they also lived in a runied world

Conspiracy theory: Tear were so op bc icejade were too shit

💀

The duality of lore water-ish waifu archetypes

[long bison]

They're also compensating for Ghoti's lackluster archetype.

:^)

Even though they have such banger artwork.

Giant Eldritch Fish creatures are my waifus.

[viral orbit]

i would wait for the ocg cope

before i say anything.

they are at least getting 1 card + whatever other stuff to crosspromo

don't forget how many insect stuff we got when the ocg got beetroopers

Honestly i just want fishborg blaster errata.

[halcyon crane]

Tear are weird, they mostly DARK Aqua, but then Reino is WATER warrior, Kaleido is DARK Fiend, and the Kashtira one is WATER Psychic

Not a single WATER Aqua one

[lean surge]

Rulkallos is WATER Aqua.

[halcyon crane]

Wait

For the longest time I swear I thought she's DARK Aqua like others

That changes everything

[celest storm]

Her being a water monster was one of the biggest reasons she was annoying af to play vs

Cause you cannot bystial it

Also Visas kind of just seems like a dick all around

It’s not surprise astrid is 3 versions of him melded into one

[viral orbit]

not really. the upgrade is water bc she absorbed some of Reino's powers.

she has the weird galaxy pattern and all

then again you can see it like Tear are dark bc they are under the effect of Reino's sorrow

but since rulkallos is no longer under any of that, she changes back to being water

[viral orbit]

no he just a baby

[long bison]

Sounds like a lot of adults these days.

[lean surge]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs8AEvGagAAKc5u?format=jpg&name=large

Finally got a HQ version of this art.

The doggo is Scareclaw Astra, right?

Maybe it's the center head of the cereberus that the Link 3 is riding.

Also noticed that Scareclaw Kash which would be the Kashified Cerebrus has double the stats as Astra.

The Kash mon above is Unicorn, right?

[devout hearth]

yea

[lean surge]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtAiAplagAERIrw?format=jpg&name=large

He is him.

[devout hearth]

also ye

[long bison]

Oh dang, Visas is finally smiling.

You can even see a hint of a smile in the trap card artwork.

[candid pebble]

"I am all of me"

Literally

Halfway through albaz lore

[tacit patio]

Where did you get the Runick Lore?

Early Game to Clearing Generaider Bosses in the Mid-Game
This is actually "Clearing Generaider Bosses in the Early to Mid-Game".

[grim marten]

The lore book pictured at the very bottom of the imgur link

VBEX3

[foggy lotus]

Ah you're right I derped on that title

[grim marten]

@foggy lotus I do have a question myself

In Runick slumber does it really say dragon? It appears to be Jorm that is being referenced but he’s a reptile

[foggy lotus]

"Evil dragon" but there's like two characters for dragon

It would not surprise me if it was jorm but it also doesn't call this dragon a "Generaider Boss" so

I dunno

Not exactly that versed in generaider lore myself

I thought this was hilarious though

[viral orbit]

it doesn't look like jorm tho

[foggy lotus]

That's kind of my general line of thought

They've named every generaider boss and referred to them as 王 ("Generaid") in the description

But there's no mention of that in Runick Slumber

[viral orbit]

it might be Fafnir (and bc it has not been printed yet, they didn't name it)

[foggy lotus]

I think that did get namedropped by someone else on twitter or in another discord

So you might be right too

[fading yarrow]

Runick Slumber

[viral orbit]

it has the ring after all

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fáfnir

[grim marten]

Yeah just discussed it in the server

That has to be Fafnir

Jorm doesn’t have 4 eyes

They’re just both black reptiles so a lot of people (even me) just said they were the same

[viral orbit]

"Fáfnir slays his father out of greed, taking the ring and hoard of the dwarf Andvari and becoming a worm or dragon."

[grim marten]

Yeah

[viral orbit]

i do wonder if it is in DUNE tho

[grim marten]

Pls

We got a Runick

Fenrir XYZ and Fafnir main deck

[grim marten]

Yeah that picture is funny af

Thanks again for translating the lore btw

[foggy lotus]

Oh Champion Sargas is Regulus combined with Sargas

I thought Irregular died or something Sargas just took his body parts to upgrade himself

[viral orbit]

they stacked!

[foggy lotus]

GATTAI

THEY SAID THE WORD

Oooooooooooooh

So I guess the red Splight is meant to represent the fires of the volcano

And blue is the blue lightning of Argyro system

lmao it's literally skyrim

i mean it was obvious already but this is just

runick/generaider x skyrim mod when

[long bison]

So when White Relic embraces Ecclesia, they "melded" together? Does that mean she also melded Fleur with her as well?

[tacit patio]

It doesn't seem like it.

Apparently Albaz yells Ecclesia really really loud and grabs her hand, and when he does it starts already purging her, so the rest of Cartesia/Granguignol splats to the ground and eventually reforms into the Synchro.

Ah wait, no. Yes, Fleur was melded then.

Every single Saint was in one body to form Cartesia.

[foggy lotus]

Yee Fleur was already in the saint soup™ before Quem and Ecclesia were dunked in it too

[lean surge]

Setup chapter mostly.

Looks like we'll start with the ending soon.

Finally.

[hollow wraith]

so what archetype do y'all think they'll do next

[lean surge]

Going by popularity.

Maybe Labyrnith. Has a lot of chars too to do a funny story or smthg.

[hollow wraith]

the dream choice would be albaz lore but maybe that would be too long

[lean surge]

They stretched out Striker to an Year.

[hollow wraith]

true

[lean surge]

Fucking Albaz or WL would go for fucking 20 at this rate of bloat.

[long bison]

LMAO. Imagine ||turning on an underground machine to play an old video game to alert old security bots.||

But ye, they're really stretching this story, and the content isn't really enough to warrant it imo.

[halcyon crane]

Draco would be better, in term of being finished lore that feels incomplete so they can expand it, but it's too late for that now

[long bison]

It's just artificially grown humans relearning their nature.

But ye, True Draco Lore would be pretty cool.

[lean surge]

They obv picked Striker because of popularity. But, I can't think of many more which are close in popularity and have deece story potential, which also not being super longfrom stories like DT or WL.

Like what can you even do for a DMaid story?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FuIVyoEaIAIc1A_?format=jpg&name=large

[long bison]

Seeing Laundrymaid antics would be a nice slice of life fun.

Probably wouldn't have some overarching story though.

[lean surge]

1-3 month stints of minor events is what I wanted out of these, so I'd be fine with some short stuff.

[halcyon crane]

DMaid could be like Kobayashi's Dmaid without all the creepy shit, just all that KyoAni wholesome stuff and Laundry shenanigans

[foggy lotus]

I'd rather they just do Albaz lore

Since there's more plot going on there

Than sky striker's poor wafer-thin plot they've had to hammer out into like 12+ months of releases

[halcyon crane]

They really should've been that before they decided to choose Striker

[hollow wraith]

i think visas lore would be a good fit

the actual plot is relatively simple so they could get through it in like a dozen or so chapters

[halcyon crane]

As long as it's not written by Arc-V writer

[hollow wraith]

[halcyon crane]

I don't want sick twist of Funko Pop turned out to be Visas mom

[foggy lotus]

Yeah I'd be okay with Visas lore too

[frigid pilot]

GOD DAMN THE ART IS SO HOT BUT ITS SUCH A BAD CARDS

DOGKBNDSKGNBDSKGHN

[stone prism]

Really I thought it was a decent card, a 2 of or 1 of at least.

[frigid pilot]

no

the card is complete ass

[tacit patio]

Regarding what may come next...

It's not like releasing a long, slow series hasn't resulted in more cards for the game, which is maybe a point against Albaz? If they put in new characters, it'll either create bloat from there being too many new cards they have to add with each volume release to the already finished lore archetypes, or people are going to be angry that the cards aren't good anyway, like they've been for all the Sky Striker support derived from the comic.

[silver harbor]

I’m assuming if we get Albaz series 2 it’ll be an entirely new cast not counting Albaz, Ecclesia, Rocky, and Saint 317, at least until shit starts hitting the fan

[tacit patio]

Assuming they're still the protagonists.

[silver harbor]

i imagine they would be, given [new frontier]'s art

[fading yarrow]

New Frontier

Effect

If your opponent Special Summons a Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and/or Link Monster(s) (except during the Damage Step): You can activate 1 of these effects;
● Add 1 "Fallen of Albaz", or 1 monster that mentions it, from your Deck to your hand.
● Special Summon 1 "Fallen of Albaz", or 1 monster that mentions it, from your hand.
You can only use each effect of "New Frontier" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG), Unlimited (OCG)

[halcyon crane]

Yeah I assume we gonna see more mature Albaz and Ecclessia (and prolly their child) down the line midway thru the squel

[silver harbor]

idunno about a kid, or how much of a timeskip it'll be, but I imagine they'll still be the protagonists

[grim marten]

I’m sure we will because they’re a huge time gap from what we see with the new quick play spell

Longyuan has rotted away

[young lynx]

Is the stupid albaz vbex3 lore finally translated or?

[foggy lotus]

Yeah it's all been done

I got mine up but other people have had theirs up go nuts

Spoiled for choice this time

[halcyon crane]

Whenever I see Gold Pride, I always reminded of this

[hollow wraith]

i'm pretty sure gold pride was directly based on redline

nitrohead is literally machinehead

[halcyon crane]

Yeah I love the wacky race aesthetic

[hollow wraith]

i think about the part where the leader of roboworld was like "we gotta unleash funky boy" all the time

they really did name that guy funky boy

[foggy lotus]

@glass blaze Here this one

[glass blaze]

thanks!

[foggy lotus]

I did Runick/Generaider and Visas too under #valuablebookex3 but I think everything's all been translated somewhere

[viral orbit]

anyone got that full art of Crusadia Arboria

[long bison]

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/4a/48/7b4a488b026e70e9617df63ae382df2f.jpg

Here.

[viral orbit]

thanks

[lean surge]

Looks like this is how the order of events are.

Veda goes full power. Not sure what his 12 0/4000 stats are referencing. Upanishads are also Hindu religious texts, seem to be the last addition to the Vedas. Reinforcing the whole final form thing.

[silver harbor]

This is rulk in mannadium armor

[lean surge]

Kit is now a Mannadium with her Visas' old Level and Tuner stats. The sum of her stats is also the same as 1500+2100 as Visas/Hearts except she has 2300 atk like original Kitkallos.

Not sure why she is a Fairy but all Mannadium Tuners have been Fairies.

Anyway, Veda atks new world.

Veda v Synchro Visas.

Visas loses and is sent thru space and time stripped off his new powers(/emotions).

Thus becoming this Visas, who is Light/Fairy instead of Light Warrior like the original and has Heart stats instead of Lv6 Inverted stats.

Veda seems to be observing all this and seeing the cycle restart. Thus the name Samsara.

Oh ye, theory on why new Veda is 4k flat. Previous Veda and Synchro Visas had 1k+ in atk, so 1500/2100 to 2500/2100.
This is the same but for Veda, i.e, Riech's heart's evolved form which was a Link with 3k atk. Inverted because reasons to 0/4k. Maybe Def cuz Scareclaw?

[celest storm]

So he spent 4 sets getting his emotions/powers back, has them for literally 1 set then loses them again lol?

[silver harbor]

It’s a cycle basically yes

[devout hearth]

they should do the funny and just end it here

no more visa lore

[long bison]

Damn, just like real life. You don't just live happily ever after after a conflict, you'll continue to be tested with new problems and trauma.

[viral orbit]

is that kit or is that meek tho. she got 1300 insteas of 1200

[tacit patio]

Scheiren has that weapon.

Scheiren + Meek = 6.

[viral orbit]

Scheiren does have 1300 def...

[lean surge]

Nah, head deffo looks like Kit.

Whom we've already seen in the new world last set whereas other Tear girls are still in their world in Tear's 2nd field spell.

[devout hearth]

it's kit + astra + unicorn

the three who appeared in New World Full of Stars

there isn't any kash that completely matches up with the armor but unicorn makes sense bc kit and astra are very clearly components of trilo

[tacit patio]

How many elements match the name?

[viral orbit]

i mean the fact she's called Trilo means it's made of 3 things i gues.. while also being a pun on trilobite

[viral orbit]

tbh i still have no idea wtf is going on tbh

is Veda Reich or not

[tacit patio]

Probably not, the stats don't match.

[grim marten]

Veda is Vishnu the god of time

Aka a new character

[foggy lotus]

Reichheart's already been absorbed into Visas

Veda is a new dude yeah

fsdjkkglsd

[halcyon crane]

This is really just ARC-V all over again

[long bison]

No, they didn't make Yuya go through his journey all over again.

Unless this is his Gauntlet match with old allies or something.

ATK 2400 / DEF 1000

I think the art's more just a reference to the monarch's main gimmick

[hushed dune]

Ah

[viral orbit]

i mean it got monarch stats too

[real flame]

is there a good resource to read an analysis of of tearlaments lore?

[fluid viper]

look for visas lore

since tear lore is a part of it

[fluid viper]

I cant remember, who is guiding quem

is it another form of white relic or is it ecclesia after she repent from being cartesia ?

[silver harbor]

Quem is what’s left of the 666 holy women sacrificed by maximus, excluding ecclesia and like, Saint 324,

[hushed dune]

Does anyone know why Daigusto Emeral and Gem Knight Pearl are Xyz?

Is there a lore reason for it or is it just gameplay?

[jade iron]

Pearl is an Xyz to be immune to Vylon Disigma

Daigusto Emeral is Gusto + Gem Knight, Evigishki Merrowgeist is Gishki + Gusto, and Lavalval Phoenix is Gusto + Laval

Against the continued rampage of the "Vylon", the four tribes awakened a new power called "Xyz" in order to oppose them. But "Disigma" analyzed and absorbed their negative emotions, allowing it to absorb many warriors in turn.

oh and Lavalval Ignis

[hushed dune]

Oh that's cool

[glacial dune]

SO

THE NEW CARDS

[halcyon crane]

owo wanted

[glacial dune]

Top right is "reward", bottom is "dead or alive".

The glyphs look enough like Latin letters that translating it is easy enough.

Still not sure about directly under the picture, though. I don't recognize enough of the letters.

"?ai?o??ari" is the best I can come up with.

Could be our Diabellestarr has a name in the future.

[hushed dune]

They should do what they did with Albaz and make her a center piece in the Story so I can have more cards about her

[fluid viper]

Weren't the 3 holy women left Fleur, white relic and ecclesia ?

[wild siren]

well saw the new cards, and assume Diabelle is the new lore thing, since she's like visas and albaz, but wow is she a bit overdesigned visually.

[hushed dune]

She kinda looks like a Monster Energy Mascot ngl

I would have probably left out the Scareclaw Pelt

"Wow that outfit is chuu2 as fuck"

I still like it but yes it's a fucking mess

[wild siren]

we don't even see her eye because the mask is OVER HER HAIR

you either wear a mask or have eye over hair, not BOTH

like why is her left sleeve one of those poofy dress sleeves

[foggy lotus]

You do but I get what you mean

It absolutely smells like gacha outfit

[wild siren]

I do however say

I like the wanted poster style

[wild siren]

like this actually really looks nice

[primal spire]

It does

[foggy lotus]

I love how they made her extra angry

[primal spire]

I like the shark teeth

[wild siren]

And the monsters in the other spells/traps are very fucking edgy and overdesigned, but in a kinda neat way

[foggy lotus]

Waiting for hi-rez art I guess

Wait we have it

[wild siren]

just damn girl, it's not the 90's you can go a bit simpler lmao

[wild siren]

but this is just my rambling as an edgelord on edgelord drip lmao

[foggy lotus]

OH I kind of see what you mean with the hair

[wild siren]

oh wait

no that's an eye

I thought she has like uh

this hairstyle

she just also has heterochromia

[foggy lotus]

It kind of does look like it

Like she's got eye-covering bangs under the mask took me a second to recognise it's probably just an eyepiece on the mask itself

[wild siren]

God edgelord heterochromia that's yeah

even more chuuni

[foggy lotus]

I still think the puffy sleeve is stupid

[wild siren]

I get what they're going for but

it's kinda silly it's just on one arm

It also works better for a character that is supposed to feel more noble like a vampire

and she feels more like an assassin or rogue

[foggy lotus]

Yeah

[primal spire]

I mean

Shes probably meant to be sorta both?

[wild siren]

eh remove the sleeve and maybe the rings and she loses the noble feeling entirely

[foggy lotus]

Are we certain this is a long-form lore archetype? Or just speculation?

[wild siren]

speculation

she's exactly like visas/albaz

[foggy lotus]

Because I'm going to laugh if we get VBEX4 next year and it's just like a two-page spread of this archetype with super basic story

[primal spire]

The slot is where lore archetypes would fit

[wild siren]

in that she's an archetype on her own supported by an unrelated archetype

[foggy lotus]

Like poor Drytron/Ursarctic

Ah hah

That's promising

[wild siren]

I'm sure that her lore will be neat though

[primal spire]

Inb4 this is in the hole

And its Albaz season 2

[wild siren]

Nah she has the scareclaw things, clearly visas 2

can't be worse than visas and dracolore tho tbh

Like Nobody cares for those 2

[primal spire]

Idk about that, Visas lore isnt even over yet lmao

[wild siren]

Yeah but like

who actually likes his lore

[primal spire]

Idk I like Visas lore actually

[wild siren]

You're almost always objectively wrong anyway

[primal spire]

Its kinda Phantasy Star

Oi

[wild siren]

||/jk||

[primal spire]

Thats very rude >:[

[wild siren]

also honestly I thought you were gonna defend dracolore instead lmao

Seriously though, lorewise people mostly just talk the Albaz lore, which I haven't really followed lmao

but I get parts of it

[primal spire]

Nah dracolore barely even exists tbh

I like the true dracos, but I dont even know how exactly theyre supposed to fit into the lore

But yeah Visas lore was kinda overshadowed

[wild siren]

also I think this is the first time that the lore protag actually got like

protag stats

[primal spire]

Doesnt help that its like, heavily based on either hinduism or buddhism or both, which most people arent super familiar?

[wild siren]

level 7 2500/2000

[primal spire]

Albaz lore is (for the most part) good yeah

[foggy lotus]

It's not Hinduism/Buddhism lore isn't uncommon in Japan

[wild siren]

It's only like thematically related in a very adaptational anime/jrpg way. Which is fine

[primal spire]

Its just Kiseki

[foggy lotus]

Albaz is far easier understood because there's no underlying themes people might be unfamiliar with

[primal spire]

You mean, besides the occultism around the Zoa?

[wild siren]

Visas has themes, but its story is like

whatever

[foggy lotus]

Yeah

[wild siren]

Albaz you don't need the themes to understand the story

[foggy lotus]

It's kind of fine

There's also far more attachment to the characters

[wild siren]

Yeah

[foggy lotus]

Since there's a varied cast and the protags are a couple

[primal spire]

True

[foggy lotus]

Visas is just like.. some dude

[primal spire]

Kitt is gender goals™️

[foggy lotus]

To put it bluntly

[primal spire]

I still want Kitts jacket

[wild siren]

Because we get to see shit like

which gives the protags just

personality

[foggy lotus]

Yeah

Booty is one of my personal favourites

[primal spire]

Plus there are villain(s) that actually function properly as villains

[foggy lotus]

Kitt just oozes so much character

Yeah

[primal spire]

Everybody loves Kitt

Best character

[silver harbor]

I love how ecclesia is just like
“I want this one”

[wild siren]

small girl big hammer

good trope

[silver harbor]

The best trope

[primal spire]

True!

[wild siren]

she's just a monster hunter player at heart

[primal spire]

Protect that smile

[foggy lotus]

MATCHING GOGGLES

[silver harbor]

Checks out given she’s seemingly strong enough to wield a hammer bigger than herself on her own

They share one brain cell

[wild siren]

I was literally

just about to post that

[foggy lotus]

[primal spire]

Except Kitt is smart

[wild siren]

Kitt is a smart dumbass

[primal spire]

Ah yes

[foggy lotus]

Ecclesia is pretty much a superhero though considering her power so it's not as farfetched she could lift a hammer three times her own size too

[primal spire]

Bunny-eared lawyer

[foggy lotus]

Oh I just realised Ecclesia's jacket is a hand-me-down from Ferrijitt

Oh shit it is

[wild siren]

Plus outside of funny

it has the dramatic shit like

a[Light of the Branded]

[fading yarrow]

Light of the Branded

[foggy lotus]

Yeah

And the whole ordeal with poor Fleur

[wild siren]

Visas is just some dude all things considered lmao

I think the only whatever part of the abyss storyline is like

icejade

Icejade's entire thing is uh

they killed a guy

who was bad

[primal spire]

Eh I like the Icejade

Id say the Therions/Spright

Theyre just

A random sidequest

That then barely features in the main resolution

[wild siren]

yeah but see

at the least spright

gave us drip

[primal spire]

True

But we already had [Springans Kitt]

[fading yarrow]

Springans Kitt

Level: 4
[ Beast / Effect ]

ATK 1700 / DEF 1000

Effect

If you have a Fusion Monster that mentions "Fallen of Albaz" as material on your field or in your GY: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add to your hand, 1 of your "Branded" Spells/Traps that is banished or in your Deck or GY, then place 1 card from your hand on the bottom of the Deck. You can only use each effect of "Springans Kitt" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[wild siren]

genuinely if Konami started selling the spright drip (including kitt's drip)

[primal spire]

Konami starting a fashion line

Thats a thought

[wild siren]

they'd make cash

[primal spire]

But yes if the jacket was good quality, Id spend good money on it

Hell I considered getting it tailor-made lmao

[wild siren]

I mean they could do like Pokémon or other franchises do, let others make it

I just want spright blue's jacket irl tbh

[primal spire]

Fair

Its nice and poofy

Though I have no idea how its supposed to close

[foggy lotus]

Icejade was just

Depressing upon depressing

Kosmo died

Aegerine consumed by hate and shut herself off forever

[hushed dune]

Looks like Scareclaw leftovers to me

[wild siren]

I mean you're right

[hushed dune]

They had some Ass looking Shoes that just slapped a PNG of a Monster on both sides without even flipping the image

[hushed dune]

What was that combination even about btw?

[devout hearth]

polaris is currently the pole star
thuban used to be the pole star

[jade iron]

The constellations Ursa and the constellation Draco are next to each other

[halcyon crane]

Y'know I've been playing Albaz.dek for prolly 2 years now, yet surprisingly haven't made a single Albaz lore fanarts

I prolly should now

Let's start with the bisexual icon himself, the boober of doober

[fluid viper]

They think of each other that they are super cool so they fused to make a fcking spacecraft carrier

Because super cool + super cool = giga cool

[foggy lotus]

Yeah constellation references aside I don't think there was really any explanation the whole thing was just like a toy ad WOW LOOK AT THESE COOL GUYS AND LOOK AT THESE COOL GUYS AND THEY COMBINE!

[hushed dune]

Oh lol

I allways thought they belong to some Storys lore

[jade iron]

Need a goblin card showing Drytron as action figures & the Ursa Bear as a plush

[glacial dune]

the next live twin support will have lilla and kisikil in ursa/tron cosplays

[hushed dune]

Oh yeah
They could use the Goblin Kid for that haha

[long bison]

Lucky Goblin kid gets the ears.

[hushed dune]

Oh man

[viral orbit]

something about her chibi ass form, buff arms and that hair feels really off

[hushed dune]

Pretty sure the Arm is just perspective
The other one doesn't look that big

Could be just a Mascot Costume
(Though Yugioh can be that weird that it isn't lol)

[halcyon crane]

It's funny how other archetype showing their boss monsters (at the time) on the left side

Then Mist Valley Thunderlord just vibing in bottom corner

[viral orbit]

so if snake-eye got its own theme. does this mean Luciela and  Silvia will too ?

it's kinda weird tbh. cuz unlike snake-eye, those are extra specific to diabellestarr

btw did she even win vs the dragon ?

it seems like it ends with her being face to face with it ?

[glacial dune]

I have a feeling they'll end up being Diabellestars themselves in a future set.

[viral orbit]

idk how would that work

cuz the gimmick to be "her getting new relics and using those relics to get even more new ones"

the weird thing is that Slivia and Luciela are name differently from Snake-Eye

cuz those to are "tainted treasure of insert something - female name with Latin inspiration"

well Slivia meaning forest and Luciela meaning light

they seem more Elemental themed than whatever going with Snake-Eye

unless we getting a specific version for Deiabellestar next set with the same naming scheme as the others.

maybe i'm looking too deep into it.

but you can actually see diabellestarr wearing Slivia

well i guess luciela too (tho not sure) scythe looks like the lower part of her dress

[tacit patio]

I think those are just the Tainted Treasure sub-archetype or how we define it.

[foggy lotus]

That was translated Mannadium was his last figurative shred of sanity who sacrificed itself to quell his berserk negative-emotion fuelled rampage

[tacit patio]

The Mannadium world is essentially Visas' internal self, which Astraloud was going to destroy by existing.

[fluid viper]

Why are we getting a new hell lady when we had the lady darklord ?

[fading yarrow]

Condemned Darklord

Rating: Link-2 (↙↘)
[ Fairy / Link / Effect ]

ATK 1600

Effect

2 Fairy monsters
You can Tribute Summon Fairy monsters that require 2 Tributes by banishing 2 monsters from your GY instead of Tributing (it is still treated as a Tribute Summon). You can discard 1 card; take 1 "Darklord" monster from your Deck, and either add it to your hand or send it to the GY. You can only use this effect of "Condemned Darklord" once per turn. Once per turn, during your End Phase: Gain 500 LP for each Fairy monster on the field.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[fluid viper]

She would have been perfect for the job

[hushed dune]

Because it's a different Story lol
I am curious if this is the ending of the Dark Lord Lore though or if she gets beaten later

[jade iron]

Archlord Jesus shows up

[fluid viper]

Idk what happens after The first Darklord rise

Or if the old solemn dude get beaten after some time

[fluid viper]

Aesir and generaider aren't related in the lore right ?

Some of the generaider monsters have the same name as other aesir cards

[foggy lotus]

Yeah in name only

No relation as far as I can tell

[glacial dune]

You think there'll be more Generaider-related archetypes besides Runick?

Nine different worlds invites a lot of potential.

[fluid viper]

There is Megalith already

Runick, Megalith & Generaider are related

[grim marten]

How’s megalith connected?

Runick and Generaider are the only two I know are 100% confirmed to be in lore

[fluid viper]

Isnt the runick fountain a megalith ?

[grim marten]

Nope

It’s just a fountain from Norse mythology

[fluid viper]

mb then

[hushed dune]

Runic is related to them?

[silver harbor]

Runick and generaider are the same video game

Runick is from the player’s perspective

[hushed dune]

Oh cool

Now I will try to shove them and Adventurer in to the same Deck

[fluid viper]

Playing as the villains >>>>>>>

It's up

[halcyon crane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaSlcPT7lCo&ab_channel=galzo

This got into my YT recommendation

1. I didn't know there's SEVENS dubs already
2. They are discussing Albaz & Visas lore owo

[silver harbor]

Yeah the sevens dub is pretty far along now

[stone prism]

I wonder when will we get a more serious Yugioh anime?

[long bison]

No, the anime scene is the kids' playground now.

Rush Duel forever. Rush Duel for life.

If they get a competent studio to create a Master Duel Anime with Takahashi's artstyle, it'd be ideal. 😭

[silver harbor]

Good

[fluid viper]

We just want a Sky Striker Anime, a Branded Anime and a Vsauce anime

Branded anime would be lit as fuck

[hushed dune]

Yes World Legacy Anime indeed

[fluid viper]

Yes that too

[glacial dune]

I'd suggest a Duel Terminal anime if I didn't think it'd be long as hell
