We dont know what happened to Sombre and Kerykeion
There is no implication they went to space, just that they vanished
The closest we have is that they become the new seeds of life on earth
At the end of the first arc we see them ascend as twin serpents
We don't know what happened to them now, yes, but the point is we know that previously they weren't bound to the earth
No we dont?
The closest we get is
- The Word for World Is TSEROF -
dead and alive swear annihilation of the terra
they shall cut the NEMESIS and shall become the
seed of the new terra
(Dead and Alive are Kerykeion and Sombre respectively)
Hence suggesting they just become part of the world
After defeating the "Planetforger", "Sombre" and "Kerykeion" bade farewell to those who remained. I don't know where they headed, but the fragments of the power of the "Planetforger" residing within them probably led them to watch over the Surface World somewhere out there.
Note: This article is an unofficial English translation of the official Japanese Master Guide 4 card storylines. The following information is presented in a format closely mimicking that of the Master Guide 4. The original linguistic conventions have been edited for coherence, but all meanings have been preserved as best as possible.
Sacred Serpent's Wake
They ascended to watch over
(And came back when Diamond/Cairngorgon started fucking shit up again)
Ascended is metaphorical here not literal
It lines up with them becoming the seeds of the new world
Thank you, Lady Gaga for the Melodious support 🙏
Melodious finally relevant?
I'd be surprised
I wonder if Kerykeion actually loses the power of destruction after separation from Cairngorgon
He no longer has the orb of destruction with him, which makes sense, if it ends up going to Tierra
And would also potentially set up Sombre deciding to seal the power of Destruction in the World Legacy core
This form has to happen at some point during the Tierra story, since he's fused with two tellarknights
With the gathering of "Tellarknight Ptolemaeus", "Nekroz of Sophia", "Dragunity Divine Lance", and "Evilswarm Kerykeion" inside of "El Shaddoll Anoyatyllis" in one place, the powers of the "Goddess of Rebirth", the power of 'creation' and 'destruction', and the 10 'Cores' were assembled. The aura pulsating from this gathering became the key to starting up the 'sefiroth' system, the counterpart to the 'qliphoth' system, from within the "Naturia Sacred Tree".
Zefranaga/Kerykeion's escape from Anoyatyllis seems to replace the orb of destruction with the purple pyroxene
Long legs Kerykeion jumpscare
Hidden within the remains of "El Shaddoll Anoyatyllis", was "Infernoid Decatron", the head of "Infernoid Devyaty", still active and functional. Using the power of the 'Cores' within its 10 vacuum tubes, "Decatron" managed to access the 'qliphoth' system within the "Sacred Tree" and awakened the true body of "Tierra, Source of Destruction". Revived as "Infernoid Tierra", it set out to do what "Sophia" once did – to wipe out all the life born from the 'sefiroth' system.
To fully revive into its divine form, "Infernoid Tierra" still needed the power of 'creation' that once belonged to "Sophia". To solve this problem, "Tierra" planned to revive "Gem-Knight Lapis", who had been sleeping inside "El Shaddoll Construct" – as she is the mirror image of "Tellarknight Ptolemaeus", including her power of 'creation' – and absorb the power this way.
Sounds like when Kerykeion was pulled out of Anoyatyllis by the Zefra system Anoyatyllis kept the power of destruction
Which then went to Infernoid Decatron, and was able to pass it to Infernoid Tierra, who then only needed the power of creation from Lapis
The one who stood to face "Tierra, Source of Destruction" was the protector of the "Naturia Sacred Tree", "Zefraath". The scale of their battle shook the entire planet, and lasted for one thousand days and one thousand nights. At the dawn of the 1000th day, the forms of "Tierra" and "Zefraath" were nowhere to be seen. The only things left were the charred remains of the "Sacred Tree", and two "Gem-Knights".
The "War" which shook the heavens and the earth had finally come to an end. With the vanquishment of "Tierra, Source of Destruction", those imprisoned in the vacuum tubes of the "Infernoid" remains were freed. "Ritual Beast Tamer Elder", upon seeing the return of "Gusto Falco", sobbed uncontrollably, as he did in his youth as "Kamui, Hope of Gusto". The other veterans of the previous great war, having lived on for decades without ever expecting to see their old friends again in this lifetime, reunited with comrades of their own.
With the "Naturia Sacred Tree" out of action, the surface lives had lost their god. While many were at a loss about what to do, "Crystal" saw light emanating from the "Sacred Tree", thought to be completely inactive. With their friends and comrades watching over them, "Crystal" disappeared into the light along with "Lapis". As the dead and as "Shaddolls", they have wandered the world, but they have finally reached their resting place. However, "Crystal" knows that his past friends and comrades are waiting just beyond that light. The future that they should head towards, that is a future in which life and death no longer endlessly repeat by the control of the "Sacred Tree". It is a world in which those living on the earth are promised tranquility, freed from the shackles of gods. To seek out that world, to create that promised land, he, just as those who were left behind by that light once did, embarks on a journey, to an unknown horizon.
I almost wonder if Lapis inherited that power then 
If so, it'd probably end up just shared between her and Sombre, since Sombre having the creation crystal gave Lapis that power too
They really should make a Videogame or Anime about the lore of the Cards at some point
(Sky Striker was a good start I guess but it is it's own little world)
A Duel Terminal anime would go hard
Then we could see Worms being a actual threat atleast and Alleyes of Justice being competent

The question is where do they start?
Just learned something dumb
Duel Terminal lore started with the Rise of Destiny set
Cause this exists
[Roc from the Valley of Haze]
They really didn't want this one to be good jeez
tbf it came out in like
several years before duel terminal
Just noticed Sophia's Creation/Destruction orbs look different from Tierra's
The Four Worlds (Hebrew: עולמות ʿOlamot, singular: ʿOlam עולם), sometimes counted with a prior stage to make Five Worlds, are the comprehensive categories of spiritual realms in Kabbalah in the descending chain of Existence.
The concept of "Worlds" denotes the emanation of creative lifeforce from the Ein Sof Divine Infinite, through progressive,...
visas...
Hm
Visas has 7 worlds though
And the 4 we've seen included the light world of calarium
Were lacking air/wind and have an unneeded light
i don't think the 6 world Theory holds up
I mean its not really a theory
The names literally show that there are that many worlds
Paraisos is six and Calarium 5
I thought it was already accepted that the Visas worlds were based on the realms of reincarnation in Hinduism.
sadly no you never NS him in Magistus
Magistus LORE is goated, and one of the best LOREs for the manga to get into.
Hopefully, it doesn't fall into the same trapping as the Striker arc did, with asinine amounts of bloat in terms of chars and plot, as well as, not fitting in with the actual cards storyline.

likely will
Only other gripe I have is Aleister is the one dude of the 4, I care the least about finding more info on, since it's prob just some variant of I wanted power/knowledge, so I made a deal with whatever creature or some shit.
they gotta have shit promos and imports in PP
TRUE.
tbf they said he is one of the protags, not the protag.
plus he is the closest fitting in for a main character.
On that note, having the scope expanded to general Magician stuff, basically Magistus and the related four archetypes ismuch better than being Stuck with giving smthg like Striker 12 cards.
Nah, Endy the goat protag.
My king the animal abuser tyrant fr fr
We even have a love interest in Artemis.
heck he even has his [white girl kisara clone]
Could not resolve English data for searches: white girl kisara clone
just like kaiba... in love with BEWD
I just hope i don't go to deep into Sex Magic...

that's what the real Aleister... did
all over the world... and weirdly once in algeria of all places
Wait Magistus is getting the next OCG stories spot?!
for sex magic?
YAMERO
Will they finally give Zoroa his own archetype?
Or he will forever become furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten

I wanna see the Aleister and Endymion's downfall
I wanna see Endymion's rizz to get with a goddess
i feel like a big reason for the bloat with sky strikers was because they had so little to work with
there were literally 2 characters in sky striker lore before they made the manga
magistus doesn't have this problem
Yeah, Sky Striker cards are, at least pre-manga, always Raye do stuff, showing off her gear and power up, aaand that's it
Prolly more suited for action figure ads than manga
But hey, they made comic about a single piece of toy and is actually great story (Rom the Space Knight) so what do I know
Here's a solution. Don't randomly make up a wild story.

Like that whole bit about Raye being the only human and rest of humanity has been wiped out by a huge Anti Human Satellite feels like it's out of nowhere and never implied in the first bit of her LORE.
Like no reason not to just do a generic, mecha suit girl in the military because reasons plot vs enemy nation who somehow replicate the same mecha suit system with Roze.
Still mad that the manga doesn't properly connect to the cards, mainly Alt Kagari and onward.
Even if you wanted a fully original story, I feel 5 chars on the good side and 3 on the bad sides (I'm not counting the pets or the clones), that we have to watch feels super unnecessary, you could prob easily compress them to like 2-3 and 1-2.
All I know is I can’t wait to see the new Magistus and other spellcaster archetype lore cards we get
Well atleast Magistus is a more fun Deck then Sky Strikers so there is that atleast
Hopefully we get only stuff for them though
Endymion is annoying as is
They got like, at least 5 canon characters to bounce off each other, compared to Sky Striker 2 from opposite side (so more interaction to OCs than each other)
Why does the Org say the story starts in January?
I'm glad Magistus is getting a manga as well, basically 4 archetypes in one story we can enjoy. Could span over the decades in this timeline beyond them eventually separating.
Hey, hold the phone-
Snoww became a Lightsworn?!
Owo
I forgor that Lightsworn and DW are in same world
So did she disguised herself as LS member, or she really turn herself in
She probably turned
I don't think the Yugioh World runs on Cartoon logic where they ignore how someone looks under a Hood
Kinda weird she traded her Dress in for Pants though
Imagine the DW LS storyline was just Grapha finding a lost doggo and having Snoww return it home. And saving doggos is a heroic act so she gets asked to join
I mean unlike the anime
lorewise Dark World is like
not evil
they're all nice and noble
also man I hope they don't fuck the Magistus lore up by adding shit that didn't need to be there
or poorly connecting whatever lore we do have
It's based on the lore book, tho I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be genuine, or DW own propaganda
DW being in this weird bubble where it has its own lore but also appear in anime with their own lore doesn't help the case
I believe GX also what bring misconception that Kozaky is part of DW
Magistus should have enough to wrok with
I didn't even know there is a lore Book
Damn I missed out hard apparently
[zure knight of dark world]
*Then from the dark, They came, and found the Guardian Deities within the Theurgy.
- Aleister, the First to go Mad
- The Witchcrafter of Verre and her Guild of Chaotic Craftwomen
- Endymion, the Master of Magic, and his loyal aides (+ dubious mythical creatures)
- And the Furtive Zoroa, so easily forgotten*
Zoroa is the Legendary Flame Lord, right?
It never mentioned in lore but I can see it
It absolutely reeks of propaganda language, ngl.
"Yes! There is no war in Dark World borders! Ignore the dead bodies and slaves around you!"
yeah it is kinda sus that they specify that zure doesn't oppress the commoners
it implies that the other knights do
so is mermail i think
their field spells i think are the same
I dunno I could be wrong but I thought I saw it starts serialisation in March
we'll see
Where’s this from?!
Dark Souls 1 opening narration owo
Oh
I made parody of it because Magistus manga Soon™️
[Magistus Vritra]
Target 1 Level 4 or lower "Magistus" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. If a "Magistus" card(s) in your Spell & Trap Zone would be destroyed by your opponent's card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only use each effect of "Magistus Vritra" once per turn.
Target 1 Level 4 or lower "Magistus" monster in your GY;
Soon the Level 3 or lower monater that's always treated as a magistus.
Anything new in the "not contained yugioh world"?
Anything with DM?
Or Darklords?
Or anything?
Are DW and LS now connected even more?
no
no no
no
they were always connected and the only 2 themes connected to each other
@glass blaze
no. Lightsworn and Dark World lore has only those 2 themes thus far
as far as the lore goes
Oh you meant that
But Kozaky and Mad Lobster and Dark Blade
Are all part of DW
Eveb if not in the deck, they are residents
And Kozaky ties it to Gagagigo
And Gagagigo to everything else
Tiras also connects thr Forbidden series due to him connecting Sanctuary
And so Darklords
RYKO CONNECTS TO GAGAGA
Dead end
That means Marauder is tied with him
Wich means Freed and the D.D. Cards are tied with it
Wich mean Muscle Medic tied with it
Wich also means Dai Grepher is tied with it
Then what else
Premature Return is also tied
/a Return from the Different Dimension
Ties with beast lore
Orca idk what that ties
Oh right live twin
And then into DMCircle
i wouldn't count those tho. cuz there is Monster World Lore (literally every monster interacting with each other) and then there is specific setting lore.
cuz by that logic Blackwing are a DT lore archetype, which is clearly not the case
[Gagagarush]
When a face-up "Gagaga" monster(s) you control is targeted by the effect of an opponent's monster: Negate the effect of that opponent's monster, and if you do, destroy it, then inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK or DEF in the Graveyard (whichever is higher).
again anime BS. Rather than depicting real lore, it likely just a depiction of a duel
like in blackwing return.
Still a card in this very game
heck there was an anime trap the eviswarm virus
that does not mean anything in the grand scheme of continuity...
why's the evilswarm virus trying to possess a copy knight...
well cuz the card is BS from DSoD
DSoD did not even have any of the summoning mechanics other than Fusion and Ritual...
so DT shit shouldn't even be a thinh there... not to mention the imagery associated with an Xyz archetype.
aka not every card art is lore.
some are just whatever. or meant to be player vs player duels.
You do realize that doesn't even look like Copy Knight besides the fact they are knights right?
The armors look nothing alike
Sea lore
Live Twins I think is a layer above
Stuff like Geargia & Scraps are TV show characters
Or at least merchandise exists
But it gets fuzzy when those that wear the merch, are related to characters related to DT
DT exists as a toy in the goblin world, where Upstart Goblin owned Dharc as a slave, who presumably met Wynn at some point
I just realzied
Kozaky made robots
But the rest of that scenery is medieval
So in theory is the world in the 1900s or even further
And that means everything is connected
Well almost
Not every archetype but a lot of old ones
Pretty sure if going after the arc v era many crossover
In vrains idk if we see this many big crossovers
This looks so damn violent jesus
Well they are dying
It's Luster Pendulum and the True Draco Majester
Btw what do the Igknights and Dinomist monsters have to do with anything?
Are they involved in the Lore overall or are they just used as Armor for some of the True Dracos at some point?
So again my theory on wtf is metaltron is
I'm guessing its Crystal (Zefracore) in the middle of transforming into Zefrath
it gotta be Crystal.
it looks like Crystal
luster pend meets igknight dinomist majespecter while he's wandering around and they teach him how to synchro/fusion/xyz
Ah ok
Would it be correct to assume that Salamandra, the Fighting Flame Dragon is actually supposed to be Darkfire Dragon?
Doesn’t seem to be
Ah
Whats with Dark Blade btw?
I have no Idea what his deal is
Is he good? Bad? What is he up to? Why does he have 2 Dragons and a Horse?
@wild siren
Thanks to Cartesia I can use card with Dark Blade artwork in my deck

All we know is he's a mysterious warrior who somehow has the ability to manipulate dragons.
Also likely a bad dude
He was mostly just there as another of the many monsters you can slap union monsters onto, like [Pitch Dark Dragon] and [Kiryu]
Level: 3
[ Dragon / Union / Effect ]
ATK 900 / DEF 600
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if you control this card on the field, you can equip it to your "Dark Blade" as an Equip Spell Card, OR unequip the Union equipment and Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. While equipped to a monster by this card's effect, increase the ATK/DEF of the equipped monster by 400 points. When it attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of a Defense Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points. (1 monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster is destroyed as a result of battle, destroy this card instead.)
Level: 5
[ Dragon / Union / Effect ]
ATK 2000 / DEF 1500
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if you control this card on the field, you can equip it to your "Dark Blade" as an Equip Spell Card, OR unequip the Union equipment and Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. While equipped to a monster by this card's effect, increase the ATK/DEF of the equipped monster by 900 points, and you can Tribute this card to allow the equipped monster to attack your opponent's Life Points directly this turn. (1 monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster is destroyed as a result of battle, destroy this card instead.)
Still can't get over Kiryu weird underbite
It doesnt even has upper teeth, just snout and that's it
what's the other monster ?
the black and red ond
also omg its kirby....
she got a kirby
There's no lore.
He just controls dragons, shows up and decided to work for a demon and seems to hold a high ish rank in the Yamimakai army
His art is just sick tho
I think it's [Goblins' Crazy Beast].
Rank: 6
[ Fiend / Xyz / Effect ]
ATK 2700 / DEF 0
2+ Level 6 monsters
Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; detach 2 materials from a monster(s) on the field, and if you do, attach that card to this card as material. If a monster(s) you control would be destroyed by card effect, you can detach 1 material from this card instead. If this card is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card, then you can attach 1 "Goblin" monster from your GY to it as material. You can only use this effect of "Goblins' Crazy Beast" once per Duel.
it looks way creepy from the side tbh
Do they clash or does the little Guy just obliberate him?
Bit hard to tell with the weird Zylinder explosion in the middle
Makes it kinda look like Beast fights back
It's def Goblin's Beast.
We know the little guy likes to eat energy, so it might be doing that here.
Considering the eff, it seems to have used the Goblin's sinful spoil against themselves.
So, maybe there's a spoil in the cylinder on it's next.
We still have 2 Trap slots, so that might be one.
Jesus christ
Neat unofficial link between Virus Traps and Kings.
Sadly, doesn't translate at all to English.
I remember when people try to connect Diabolos as true form of Dark King of the Abyss
Despite the OCG names states otherwise
here's a weird thing... that new spell implies the goblin's crazy beast is a sinful spoil.... but none of the goblin cards support those...
its odd
the spell cannot even be used vs pure goblins
have we got Quem Concpet art ( Guiding Quem i mean) ?
There's 2 Trap slots left for DiabelleLORE rn.
We could get a Sinful Spoil. My current theory is it has smthg to do with the cyclinder around it's next and maybe the Goblins are using it to control and/or power up the Beast or smthg.
yeh but it cannot be Goblin Support is what i mean
otherwise it would have been revealed
Could be indirect support.
Smthg that helps Xyzs in general or smthg.
What does [Goblin Beast] do again?
Rank: 6
[ Fiend / Xyz / Effect ]
ATK 2700 / DEF 0
2+ Level 6 monsters
Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; detach 2 materials from a monster(s) on the field, and if you do, attach that card to this card as material. If a monster(s) you control would be destroyed by card effect, you can detach 1 material from this card instead. If this card is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card, then you can attach 1 "Goblin" monster from your GY to it as material. You can only use this effect of "Goblins' Crazy Beast" once per Duel.
Hmmmm.
The other Goblin support we got already cheats this out and gets you extra mats for your md/ed effs.
Can't think what else could it be while being generic.
i mean the 3 cards gotta be for something unrevealed (new archetypre)
Specially that one main deck monster
it can't be either a snake-eye or diabellstarr
I doubt we have space for something new.
Plus wouldn't a new deck go above new Diabellestar?
IIRC, Goblins were above Snake Eye Pet last set.
well the setcodes are kinda messy this set
i think we gonna just introduce the antag/rival of diabellstarr
so it + 2 new traps for it.
I can see that.
But to me, the Spell indicates a new Sinful Spoil related to Beast that the Pet used to backfire on the Beast. Hence it's ungodly bad to read effect text.
[original sinful spoil snake-eye]
Send 1 other face-up card you control to the GY; Special Summon 1 Level 1 FIRE monster from your hand or Deck. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Snake-Eye" or "Diabellstar" monster in your GY; add 1 Level 1 FIRE monster from your Deck to your hand, then place the targeted monster on the bottom of the Deck. You can only use 1 "Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
Hmmmm. What stats do the new Goblin's share.
i think they just gonna do "but the new atang snatches it from diabellstarr.thing"
I could see another bounty hunter + Stealing Trap + A sinful spoil. Prob, the most likely scenario over 2 more Snake-Eye support that was unrevealed for no reason.
here's my guess tho. since Diabellstarr is a dark magician parody. i think the rival will be something based on dark necrofear. ( but the opposite gender) so some kinda mannequin dude that adds Sinful Spoils to its body to enhance it.
Could be REBD, no?
That was BEWD, tho. 
A Dragon doesn't really work as another bounty hunter, tho. So, maybe not.
and sorry i'm. kinda sleepy
here's my logic.
if diabellstar is playing yugi's role. then true antag gotta be bakura-type role.
also if this "antag" steals the snake-eye thing fro her, it would be fitting since bakura took the eye from pegasus
Ok, I dug up stat analysis on Goblins. They are all Level 3/4 Warrior/BW/Fiend (referencing the old ass atk and schmoove to def goblin of yore), and multi attribute except Light.
Tho, with the new Xyz, we have a Light now.
They also had 0 DEF.
So, a Sinful Spoil based on 0 DEF and maybe Level 3/4 only?
i mean joey kinda used a Gobin Force monster (this why i think these Goblins would be allies with diabellstarr in future)
Oh wait, they are all 3s. Why did I think they are 3-4?
i think they have a card that makes em level 4
Oh, we got another Goblin squad (with 0 atk instead) card around that time + Goblinbherg reprint, so I had my wires crossed.
Their Rota searches Level 4 or lower as well.
but yeh still hoping to see a creepy mannequin dude with sinful spoils fused into its body.
Insert name, the Dark Necromancer i guess ?
With the new Xyz, we have Level/R3 and 1 R6, and all 0 def, 2 Warrior, 2 Fiend, 2BW.
Level 3s with 0 Def deffo feels like a stats tribal worth supporting. Let me see if there's anything cool in that pool.
tbf they want you to play old goblins with these. but i could see em getting a rank 4.
They did have a spell that level modified, so people used it to get R4 and weirdly R7 access.
Tho, R8 is also possible, but you have to use all old Gobbos for that line, so it's like playing 2006 pile with searchers instead. 

The Level 3 0 DEF pool has Unizombie.
All 3 Mikanko mds fit. That's cute.
Interesting the only Level 3 Raika has 0 DEF. 
It's also the generic revive one. So, you can make a Raika link and revive itself as an engine, maybe with any other body since the links only need one including type.
Oh wait, it says except itself, so not really an engine.
Perhaps intentional cross archetype potential. Like the Goblin searcher last set also working with Memento Goblin.
Lab Chandlier is a spicy one. Same with Zefraxi.
Tho, a lot of lines in my head only work if it summons these shits, if it just searches or just foolishes, a lot of these are nonbos.
Banisher of Radiance is here. You know what, let it not be a E-Tele, thank.
God, Agent Venus too.
3/4 mds work in grave (1 in hand as well). 1 works only in hand.
Ok, this is my bold prediction. New Sinful spoil will foolish a Level 3 with 0 DEF.
Tho, Level 3 decks getting a foolish isn't too big, since Cherubini already exists.
Out of all more broad "archetypes" (Archfiend, Ninja, etc) Goblin is prolly the most unique one, for being featured in several lore story
Obv Goblin of Greed has his own storyline
Second Goblin (and Giant Orc by proxy) is part of D.D. Warrior Lady & Dai Grepher story and "how Sangan got banned in OCG"
Goblin Attack Force is in Gagagigo, amongst other things
WL has Knightmare Goblin
Now Goblin Biker owo
lol... called it...
so... the diabellstarr lore is just bayonetta and jeanne fighting over "the eyes of the world"...
Kinda sad they didn't do a Sinful Spoils that indiretly helped Goblins, both the Traps are Illusion support, tho only one seems to her weapon, unlike Starr's 2. Tho, we might get another next set, since this fight doesn't seem it'll be over just yet.
her other arm is definitely a Sinful Spoil
Ye, that's what I meant.
Only one of the Traps is a Weapon Spoil. So, the other one is prob due next set.
btw... she ia kinda based on a Bakura monster like i gussed
I don't see it except for the fact it's a White Mage
Looks more Witchcrafter then anything of these tbh
Yeah honestly thought it was Witchcrafter card at first
i mean Chronicle magician is based on white mage bakura
and she has the same Atk/def as Chronicle and also white just like him
This makes me realize that Visas card are almost never 2.5k/2k stats
It's always 2.1k/1.5k or 3k/3k or vice versa
Feels like a stretch, imo.
I also don't think Chronicle Magician is based on that either. It's just weird mix of DM and BE.
Why is she even a Illusion?
Also, just noticed the mouths design on the inside of her jacket. Looks so sick.
Eyes on the ouside... mouths on the inside....
This seems more convincing.
wait no there are eyes on the inside too
Tho, I should note the eye bit is common across nearly all the Illusions.
but not mouths
they wouldn't make it 1 to 1
Snake-Eyes Diabellstarr has MoBC/DMoC Stats after all
but their art is nothing like each other
Ancient Gear Golem is my Favorite Blue Eyes Reference
Y'know, I never knew Rush Duel also cover cards from lore archetype
don't think it has anything to with the master duel poseidra
it's a sea hons
So just happen to share a name and color scheme
So was perusing Yugipedia and quick question
does the Shiranui/Mayakashi storyline have an ending right now? Yugipedia leaves off with Mayakashi Yuki-Onna stealing Shiranui Squire/Skillsaga Supremacy's power
not yet
dang
Looks nothing like Poseidra, ye
tbh I like this Poseidra design
hons
I didnt notice the octopus, was it the hair?
I think the octopus is his shoulders
Dem shoulders has mind of their own owo
The Shoulder Guard/Cape
catgirl robot
Nightchaser is just really advanced Hierophant Green
It seems she only escaped due to Chiyomaru’s intervention
And now she also hunting both girls

ATK 800
1 non-Link "S-Force" monster
Each of your opponent's monsters in the same column as one of your "S-Force" monsters cannot target the monsters in its same column for attacks. During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can target 1 "S-Force" monster you control; shuffle it into the Deck, then you can Special Summon 1 of your banished "S-Force" monsters. You can only use this effect of "S-Force Nightchaser" once per turn.
Not escaping my Ass
I swear this entire story reminds me of Garudayana (or any preexisting story with similar formula, it just the one that come first to mind)
Main heroine found a mascot McGuffin wanted by all, and become their caretaker, then come rival female antagonist stealing said McGuffin
The fact that both story also involving mascot McGuffin enlarge themselves and consuming another large monster in the process
What do we expect from the next Magistus manga?
I want to see the story behind Normal Summon Aleister
Maybe even a lot of poetry exchanging between Endymion and Selene. I don't know why I thought that, but it sounds nice.
Racism
nah itll be your standard fantasy novel
Sadly, they seemed to have picked Aleister for the protag.
So, mostly prob just him in the shadow being devious and about to do illegal summons or some shit, while interesting chars like Endy or Verre are side chars. Atleast, we'll most likely get what's the deal with Zorua and what happened to him/caused the Magistus to split?
hopefully itll get good support so instead of using horus and dogmatika as a crutch i can play magistus pure lol
when does it start
tmmrw is chap 1
Let's go
https://imgur.com/a/CdHeoqx raws without translation if interested (hopefully this is allowed)
I know the focus mainly is on Aleister but hope they expand the other three as well
Does that mean we will be able to Special Summon Aleister?
nah im sorry, you'll have to now get used to flip summoning aleister only
Working on translation now 
Also the babby isn't Aleister like I thought at first super quick skim
dammit
Same tbh
And here we go again! OCG Stories Magistus saga chapter 1 is done! It's nice that they are continuing with this.

Oh you can really tell this is the Zexal mangaka
wasn't expecting Zoroa to be the bad guy tbh
i was so sure it would be endymion
OCG realized that Synchro Zoroa has Calamity in the name with floodgatey effect not unlike the last two that got banned
yeah right? Endymion was absolutely the one the lore has been setting up as the bad guy.
Also his wife is his legally distinct stand.
Which I just find funny
I really want to know how one married his own stand, while other build golem based on her stand (because apparently she can no longer summon it?), and whatever happened to Aleister and his
Calling it now Aruru gets portrayed as some great magical horror/abomination
Guess this explains why Zoroa is so easily forgotten (and dont have his own archetype)
[Aruru]
Level: 8
[ Spellcaster / Effect ]
ATK 2800 / DEF 0
When your opponent activates a card or effect that targets a Spellcaster monster(s) you control, or targets it for an attack (Quick Effect): You can target 1 card your opponent controls, or 1 "Witchcrafter" Spell in your GY; Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, return that targeted card to the hand. You can only use this effect of "Witchcrafter Golem Aruru" once per turn. Once per turn, during your opponent's Standby Phase: Return this card to the hand.
I'm guessing them mean Ninaruru, Aruru is just Rilliona's Fan Creation to Ninaruru
a[Ninaruru]
I'm the opposite. Endy in the LORE is described as a tyrant, warmonger and experiments on animals, etc etc. But to me, I could see that being a cover story and is secretly the good one in his conflict against the Spellbook peeps. Or atleast not as evil as he is made out to be.
And tbf, his apprehension with their ways is shown correct later along the timeline since we see Aleister powers(?) the Spellbook Tower or smthg, and then becomes the T pose Tower fusion.
My original theory was Aleister did a sneaky and fucked up some secret experiment/testing while doing a magic involving the other Magistus, such as the one in Theurgy and that lead to Zorua's death/disappearance, and thus the Magistus divided.
I mean one of the Spell Book dudes is this thing so there might be smth there lmao
[Prophecy Destroyer]
Zorua being Yugioh Aizen is wild tho.
Not sure about Destroyer.
But my theory is that Aleister was secretly involved in the first Endy v Spellbook war. The turning point of the war was Fool stumbling onto the forbidden Spellbook. So, maybe Aleister sneakily made that Spellbook appear before him, without the others knowing of their involvement.
Same with Endy's motivation for the war. Which is said to be, that he opposes the Spellbook Tower's view on Magic should be accessible to everyone. I believe, atleast another reason for it is, he knows that Aleister might be involved somehow and that's why he attacks. And when he comes back as Pends, Aleister's shows that he is actually in control of the Tower.
A third part of the theory extends to Verre's current whereabouts. Since she's last seen MIA in Witchcrafter Confusion. My guess is she's heading to the place of the second war between Endy and the Tower and will intervene somehow. Either alongside Endy to save/defeat Aleister or opposing both Rayquaza style.
I would be surprised if they even referenced Destroyer in here
Verre be like "boys, chill out" and both sides just agrees owo
Both Endy and Alister can be just awful people though, and this is the theme of how Magic corrupts.
Just for different reasons
But true, Endy's tyrant reputation could just be fabricated to keep people from trying to fight his society or something.
Bless you Ducky!!!
I see Endy’s absolute rule as a result of whatever situation is going on in Ch. 1. I don’t think the citizens of his kingdom mind. They still have access to magic, it’s just regulated.
Spellbook Tower is anyone can do whatever they want and Endy doesn’t trust that after what Zoroa did
I think that baby is Mat (Fool of Prophecy)
My current theory is Magister.
The rest of the Pendymions are chars in the larger Magical Citadel LORE.
And it kinda sounds like Magistus, and shares the same bit of the name in jp, albeit the ruby text. Compelling, I know.

Now I know the Ashened One might or might not be Dark Souls related...
But the concept of placing and destroying field spell (modern Triamid huh?) isn't that literally the entire story of DS3
Or Fromsoft storytelling in general
Basically civilization built atop of ruin of other civilization, again and again, till the end of the world
Heck, this dragon be shooting laser like Midir
we know Darkeater Midir's laser was designed after Shin Godzilla's
And this trap card has very... reminiscing imagery
(Also called it, it is DARK Pyro archetype)
This dude has arms on his head
He kinda reminds me of that one dragon from 5Ds era
it also has arms on their head
There we go
Upon close inspection, those things not arms... but definitely shaped like hands
From gameplay but lore wise, it only happens once. It’s Pompeii but a dragon caused it and the souls are the ash covered bodies but high fantasy
more like many
I wonder why she doesn't has battle-related effect
i think just so they can fit more text on her
it's like mekk-knights being psychic but not paying lp
but yeh i think only the filler illusions gonna have that effect.
So it's interesting how fast they branched out
Getting real tired of all Illusion mons having the same aesthetic element (The eye here) + Same battle eff.
The comparision to early Psychic is pretty correct, and to an extent even worse in these, in that it's the exact same effect, not even LP gain related varied effs, and Green Lightning over a specific Eye symbol.
The Normal and Diabelleze pave hope for Future Illusions to be more unique.

Early psychic at least had a good aesthetic
An entire type as Nostalgiabait?
Yeah, you know a monster is psychic just by the background alone and not on the monster design itself, it's nice
how could u hate her!
i mean she's gonna be a 3 of in every illusion deck ever
I think it's funny that she is just Apprentice Magician but searches a whole Type
I just put her in a shitty rank 6 Deck and see what happens
Made me remember the original discourse with DMG
Is she meant all DARK Spellcaster, or just Dark magician, in the manga
[apprentice illusion]
Level: 6
[ Spellcaster / Effect ]
ATK 2000 / DEF 1700
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by discarding 1 card. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Dark Magician" from your Deck to your hand. During damage calculation, if your other DARK Spellcaster monster battles an opponent's monster (Quick Effect): You can send this card from your hand or face-up field to the GY; that monster you control gains 2000 ATK/DEF during that damage calculation only.
It's this but the Illusion is in the type now, and the search made more generic. 
DMG would prolly still be used today as generic Spellcaster support if she had that kind of effect
wut ? og dmg just gained 200 atk for each spellcaster in the GY.
Exactly, that's why there's discourse of it
Wait, don't you mean 300
I'm talking manga here
It started with this friggin card
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dark_Magic_Curtain_(manga)
In original printing, it says "This turn, each player can Summon a Black Magician from their Deck by paying half their Life Points."
Yugi summon DMG with this
And as result it has this page
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Black_Magic
no i'm talking about the beta irl effect
Well then there's no relevancy with what I said since I mentioned the manga owo
Tho it originally said "Spellcaster" might have something to do with it
owowo
Gotta love how chimera is associated with it
Tho am gonna assume if they had one it could be one of Pegasus card
Come to think of it, Toon monsters could as well be Illusion-type huh
They should retrain Pegasus deck (again)
well they were not in the manga
They're not, but I could see the case why the two part of Pegasus deck are similar
Both are not confined to regular battle rule
I don't recall toon monster ever destroyed by battle in manga
Type icons have used Specific monsters before.
Like Wyrm being Baxia.
The one notable thing is that the Eye is still here. Not only is it pervasive on the card arts, even non-anime and LORE. It got into the icon.
They should have called them Eye type at that point @lean surge
Atleast the Relinquished stuff
I really want them to be great but they just neber are
The Link one they got is just a headscratcher and a half
Does it even work with Relis Support Cards?
Is there any info on this Guy?
As in if it is a Pet or just a random monster
Maybe even Harpie Sisters Father?
I know the answer is most likely just "Random Monster that has somehow a effect based around Harpie Lady" but it's funny to think about what that thing could imply
This is the 25th type in the game (not counting creator god).
My guess is they might have introduced it to coincide with all the 25th anni stuff they've been coming out and the Eye connects to both original DM/Pegasus etc, but also celebrating Yugioh in general by referencing the eye in the bottom corner of cards. 
All that Eye imagery makes me think it should have been called Millenium instead of Illusion
Reminds me of Millenium Shield
Card that definitely could become Illusion type despite never once used in manga
Millennium Shield might as well have the Illusion eff, cuz it is never destroying or being destroyed by battle.
There was [Millenuim Giant] too I think
Oh wait it was [Millennium golem]
Then there's [Sengenjin]
No eye motif, just random giant that vaguely carrying "millenium items"
Ah its name even translates to Millennium Primitive Man
He carries that Stone Tablet where they all slot in on his back
Pharaos weakest Soldier
Damn just few days ago we talked about this and here's them
Sengenjin, Millenium Golem, & Millenium Shield retrain
possibly Illusion-type
Sengenjin is beast-warrior, golem is rock, absoluter and maiden are illusion and shield is ||warrior|| as it should be
Oh they keep their original type

HOLY
Official YGO Card Lore Anime finally
(I know it's mostly just one-time-thing, for celebration, but hey, a little taste of what could've been)

God I know
Straight from the concept art
Damn wtf
I liked the part where Skystrikers weren't shown and we got Tour Guide from the Underworld for the last few Minutes showing of some cool monsters and being cute...
The fucking evil twin section was so good
The Sky Striker part tbh
made me immediately think about that Raye copypasta
Also the part where Fleur is the one taking Albaz’s eye is rad
The cut from melfys to zeus is so funny
Saw it while scrolling Twitter but
In the evil twins sequence Lil-la is doing all the fighting (destroying) while Ki-sikil is getting away with the goodies (drawing)
Just like their cards
People be quick this this
Would have been cool to see a Cutaway from Eldlich to her
Look how damn smug she is. She knows she's all that.

society would collapse without the power of smug anime girls
Imma make that my new PS5 Backround
That's really adorable
Poor Dracoslayer and World Legacy doesnt has reps
[EM:P Meowmine]
Level: 2
[ Cyberse / Effect ]
ATK 800 / DEF 0
If a Link Monster is on the field or in either GY, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "EM:P Meowmine" once per turn this way. If a Link-2 monster you control is sent to the GY or banished face-up (except during the Damage Step): You can banish this card from your GY (if it was there when the monster was sent or banished) or hand (even if not), then target 1 card your opponent controls; return it to the hand. You can only use this effect of "EM:P Meowmine" once per turn.
So what is the exact relation between this card and I:P and S:P
Seeing these three cards makes me want to see a full :P archetype
It is just a grenade, more than a character
Everyone wants S:P so much they made an archetype based on her if that happens LOL
They should first make a actual Archetype around Tour Guide if anything
Yeah
Then the "C"s, and finally this
I think we finally have confirmation that theyre not actually related
Theyre just girlfriends
Based
As I said to Ovven elswhere, I'm still skeptical
Is the Shork making the ~~Awwww~ noise or Lila?
Hello still skeptical, Im Ovven

i assume the shark
they are drinking out of the same milkshake looking drink in another one of the pics
so I myself am convinced they aren't actually twins
yeah this one
most siblings I know (including myself) wouldn't be caught dead sharing a drink like that
I think that's Ice Cream
the line between beverage and ice cream milkshakes create is thin enough as is
So I:P indeed related to the Twins
And they therefore relate to S Force wich bundles Time Thieves and Psi Frames too
Pretty neat
Always find it weird that Chiyo and robot doggo only chase 1 person instead of entire archetype like other member, but this put things in context
Helps that they do share an aesthetic
I guess that means she chased the Twins too while getting intel from Sunny
Thanks for the tease, Konami. 
We've been waiting for her dragon form for so long and still don't have it.
Soon ™️
the subreddit postin' these. 😮
Oh, found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/1avlp0p/some_more_pages_from_the_new_card_game_art_works/
Well, one chunk of it at least.
why randomly an xyz for a deck with so many random levels
We need a place to compile all of these.
Found a compilation of a lot of them.
Please ping me with anything's that is missing. I'll make a Google drive link out of all these to share later.
Dude needs a tank to breathe? Damn.
Konami artists on their mission creating gap moe of badass girl by making them relatable
Eepy Lovely.
i'm not used to aleister looking so smol
what attribute do you think it is
Yee I got up to page 10 before work this morning
Fucking corozo
It'll probably get a card
Is that beloved fan favorite character Malicevoros "Spoon" 's skinsona?
I was thinking the mascot was looking like a digimon.
And it fucking digivolved into NotAngemon.
Very likely to be made into a card later.
i would very much be okay with more invoked support
honestly, im biased bc im a magistus player but i would love if it supported both decks
something like astroloud but for crowley or aleister
would be fun
This is more likely to be Magistus rather than Invoked support no?
Since its young Aleister
Raflessia confirmed to have stanky ass feet
this current card is for baby aleister yea
but it doesnt mean its not invoked support
Sky Striker lore characters that came out of the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Stories manga are not included. Only stuff related to Raye and Roze are included.
Everyday, my theory of Striker manga might as well be not canon to rest of card LORE grows stronger.
When I say, Striker card LORE, I'm obv placing the chars that got made into cards like the Roze clones, Magi, and the new Link 2 etc into the manga timeline pile.
I made a Rank 7/8 Deck with it once
Pretty nifty
Video of a guy flipping thru the artbook. Starts at around 5:25.
I'd recommend downloading this before it gets taken down or smthg.
Hmmmm. Should I pin this?
Damn bilibili
Aiwas isn't an invoked, why would this be.
Is this vbex4 
Ooooo
I love her so much
What?
Is that gonna be Aleister's Kyubey?
The whole Live Twins & I:P feels like the weirdest double and half fates if I ever see one

Who the hell is Spoon in the latest chapter? 
Spoon is a Spoon
Spoon is our favorite piece of cutlery
The true Androgynous of all time.
Spoon, the Magistus of Cutlery
don't think he will be a magistus by name
the manga implies that only the trio and zoroa have that status
I really hope Corozo does not die
but knowing .... the lore, it likely will and set up Aleister on his dark path
They called him Spoon because he fed us exposition

any guess how the diabellstar story is gonna go this time
My guess is that Diabellze is gonna fuse with poplar, summon an army of illusion monsters and diabellstar somehow gotta win (even though she's at a disadvantage due to Spellcaster being weaker to illusion)
I just hope it will not be boring
Love these new Snake Eyes and Diabell stuff
It's neat and I love the Sleepy Big Sis
It's interesting disparity we have with Diabellstar/Snake-Eyes
Usually when Komoney starting their new lore, the first card/archetype made to left an impression without bending the meta their way too much (but they would shaped up nicely nearing the end of the story)
Leaving DT aside since they're initially more large-scale & not as character-driven as later lores
Dracoslayer begin more as engine in pendulum decks, only become true deck near the end
3 World Legacy Heroes doesn't leave much impression as introduction of Link deck/era, but they do became meta at later point... as different cards
Albaz begin as part of Dogmatika, become its own deck midway of the story
Visas is heccin useless but still interesting card, is now at better place with Manadium
Diabellestar/Snake-Eyes, unlike previous one, is already proven to be meta defining, and would only get stronger from here
Oh yeah, pre-poplar Snake-Eyes were suck
The Snek dog connected the whole deck a lot.
On the note of Diabelle LORE, tho. I'm not sure where's they'll go next.
From prev stuff, it should be a new deck.
Wonder if they'll make a whole deck that works with Diabeelze.
Must be heccin floodgate smh
Maybe smthg like Albaz LORE had Despia deck with Branded backrow which already existed (tho only one set before), so this will also have Sinful Spoil lineup like Diabellestar's, that work with new deck instead.
We already kinda got that with the Illusion supporting Sinful Spoils.
I wonder if Diabell theme is 7 deadly sins since we got lucifer/morningstar & beelzebub already owo
The star makes me think so
Could be wrong ofc
But the theming name of sinful spoil makes me think that way
Myra Maybelle Shirley Reed Starr (February 5, 1848 – February 3, 1889), better known as Belle Starr, was an American outlaw who gained national notoriety after her violent death.She associated with the James–Younger Gang and other outlaws. She was convicted of horse theft in 1883. She was fatally shot in 1889 in a case that is still officially u...
Two things can be true at the same time
Still nice to learn where the name come from
I always wondered how G.B. Hunter fits into the Gladiator Beasts lore. In the MD Solo mode, the Gladiator Beasts were just dudes that never stopped fighting in that colosseum even after the empire that built them died off. Does she prevent their spirits from returning?
nani
Yeah I never understand that either
Like I get that Konami used to create anti-deck card that could fit thematically like Vampire Hunter to the Vampire
But she's older card than him and I wonder the thought process of her inception
Where is anything pointing to her being connected in anyway?
It's all in the name really
And the fact that her effect directly counter GB strategy
So it's speculation at best
Good to know
I like to think the MD mode was not thought of before
And the Glad Beasts were like animals
Did this chat die? Ducky uploaded chapter 3
nothing really major happened that needed to discuss i guess
I mean people make some sorta comment. There was also Endymion background that explains why he created the Power Stones or whatever they are called
Yeah honestly not much has been going on it's kind of irritating the pace they're going at
Endy's backstory was kinda neat
And he really got to show off why he's big bitch
I kinda enjoy it more than Sky Strikers. Worried though it might become all gas later on though
And so far we’ve gotten backstories for Endymion and Crowley. Now we just need to know Rilliona’s and Zoroa’s
Rilliona was hinted at being royalty in this chapter
I don't know if we knew that before
honestly theres a couple of setups for some next chapters thou
we got whatever happened to Chorozu, the entrance to the other world, what makes zoroa turn to look forward to
Worse pacing + Bloating the cast.
Sadly the two criticisms I had for the Striker Saga. You really don't need the whole setup of the Brother plot. Him being royalty/handing his throne to his brother was already known.
If the brother plotline will be more relevant, you could have it start there instead of this preamble battle that doesn't add much.
it was known bc of the lore books but for first timers then its fine to mention
the sub plot is kinda lame for sure. chapter 1 is also very awkward in what we seen so far.
No, I meant it was mentioned last chapter.
anytthing about VBEX yet ?
We got a bunch of somewhat blurry but kinda readable photos
when the not the blurry stuff
we should donate better cameras to Japan with a free photography classes
When someone actually scans it sadkljhg
It's usually the chinese that do the photos/scans

I know I get my magistus scans from the chinese

nah jp ppl still can't take pics, haven't you seen their decklists ? it's 90% just reflection of a light source and the rest is just motion blur
or worse... when the card leaks... those look like a picture of a Cryptid

You mean like a Picture of "DANGER! BIGFOOT!"

important things about albaz lore from the art book
- commandment 334: thou shalt not wear pajamas with designs
- fraktall was born without eyebrows
- kitt has fluffy socks
- sargas' necklace is supposed to relieve stiff shoulders
- aluber's illustrator is afraid of clowns
- spright red has light-up sneakers
- argyro has personality traits from all the sprights
aluber's artist being afraid of clowns explains so much
new md dt gate means new lore yippee
so souza was the old leader of the xsabers and not a great person
gottoms admired his tenacity, joined up and worked his way up to become 2nd in command
then the xsabers started having an internal conflict bc gottoms actually tried to be considerate and not throw people's lives away
and this is all happening during the war with the worms so it's not really a good time
one day souza disappears without a trace and leaves one of his swords behind, so gottoms takes up the leadership
he turns the band of mercenaries into actual competent soldiers
they grow and apparently now have an entire region
then he picks some of the elite and they get to work with aoj to fight the worms and become xx-saber
bottom text
interesting
I didn't even realize Souza was the original leader. He looked like some generic mercenary dude than a leader.
Do we know what happened to Souza from other lorebooks?
wait... why tf is she in Egypt
i see pyramids.... wait is she meant to be a Sphinx despite the name
where does this even take place lol. there are 0 Egyptian themes in Draco Lore.
Yeah Souza was mentioned to be the previous leader. If I remember correctly, he did disappear but might have come back as one of the XX saber monsters
Came back as Invoker
Also Phoenixes are related to Egypt
not that phoenixes look like that lol
It's a dracophoenix, who knows what they're supposed to look like
Also, very tentative
Thought it was a funny oversight that the picture showing the fractured factions of Souza and Gottoms had Urbellum in the corner, even tho he is Souza.
But apparently he's not?
Unless Urbellum is supposed to be his double identity and became his defacto mode when he disappeared(/faked his death going by this theory), until he returned back as Invoker.
MD do be weird
Reminder that they use Executor to represent Mist Valley
Not, you know, Thunder Lord, or even Apex Avian
Okay, Thunder Lord prolly out of question because the art is kinda spoilery when it has Catastor being wrecked
And the other card featuring him is him being brainwashed by Fabled
And MD havent introduced Fabled to Solo mode yet
I don’t think they ever were the same monster. I looked over the lore and trivia on Yugipedia. Lore says they come from the same school of swordplay but the trivia section says they have the same beard. On closer inspection, Urbellum doesn’t have a beard. That’s a chin guard. So that piece of trivia is wrong
Their outfits are different with slight similarities (which isn’t odd for archetypical monsters), Urbellum has a smaller frame than Souza, and their effects are different. Yugipedia doesn’t even mention the connection between Invoker and Souza their trivia sections so I wouldn’t call it a reliable source
Not even the same Skin Tone
Also Souza has like 7 X's, Uruguay only has 3, that's just not the same level of commitment
I love you, OpenWorm, goddess of rebirth
we will get in 2075 trust.

you guys joke... until konami drops "3D Virtual Creature Evolution, Goddess of computer graphics"
Yo are these Kid Diabell and Diabellze?
very likely
They got card named Diabell, Silvera, and most importantly, Sinful Spoil
It is definitely an origin story
found Wally

Is it me, or does Ms.Guide look like a cardboard cutout here?
I think it's just because the Colors are a bit more saturated on her
Compared to the Laundries that is
I love the pendulum swings
We need a retrain for it and Slot Machine Asap
I can't live in a World where it isn't a Pendelum Monster
fr fr ? until now ?
I am not a slowpoke for no reason
What's the lore connection between Yu-Gi-Oh and Hello Kitty
Belgium
Purrely
Ironically there's no Noble Knight-esque archetype in Albaz lore
Here b4 Nobleknights of the Matik is a Archetype
huh so post Avida
and what seems to be Evil Guardragons ?
Albaz Eye reveal.

Also, Ecclesia still seems to have remnants of her time as Cartesia/Granguingnol.
New One Eyed race in Ecclesia bg.
I don't think she has horns in the Open Land or whatever its called now spell. So, are these Diegitic horn constructs she gets when she uses her powers.
Rockey Fire Punch is sick, tho.
Not sure if Albaz's sword is from that Mirrorblade spike or is just meant to be reminiscent of it.
We don't know what the Blade that Albaz broke/the Flame Lotus around Ecclesia are or come from. Could get more info from the other alts.
Now that I look at it, that just seem to be some fruit that got knocked into the air from the cart in bottom(somewhat leftish).
Saint 336 is nowhere on either card, right? The thing on Ecclesia's Hammer just seems to be a metal loop that looks darkened on the other side of the lightened parts.
Unique texture to the wind eff at the bottom, I noticed.

Inb4 a new Ecclesia for Ecclesia turbo Branded builds
Where are these images from?
The live stream
she has pink horns... you know what that means ?? she's a Zoa now.
the 2 other zoas, had pink horns. (Bystial Dis Pater/Icejade Gymir Aegirine)
that's cuz its the eye of the ship
Honestly there’s a non-0 chance she can just craft things out of guignol flesh now
Since the hammer head kinda looks like it
Thatd be sick
Ecclesia has the power of guignol’s body and Quem is left with the power of the souls that inhabited it
Would be rad
i mean the wings and horns do imply she gained new powers
S-Swordsoul....
Swordsoul.....
Swordsoul Support!
Please!!!!
Hopefully there are no side effects of having obtained this power.
The swordsoul as a whole are completely MIA aside from Longyuan being Aegirine’s personal war trophy
Also since these are alt arts that’s probably the best you can hope for until branded chapter 2 kicks in
oh no... knowing what konami does to lore girls..there will be.
I'm much worried about Aegirine, because she's few step away from becoming vilainess herself
oh she 100% will make army of evil crystal monsters
she likely blames "the outside world" for what happened
Including albaz and ecclesia
note, the girl was forced to age up in 1 day.
does not help that we see dead icejade allover the place.
The Last Icejade. If that happens, then her race is truly destined to be extinct. 
Hope that isn't the case and she focuses on rebuilding her kind...somehow.
extinct ? no. the the mountain isn't destroyed, she can make more.
but that does not mean she isn't fucked up.
or she even knows how to do it properly
i mean i don't think she does have to do anything. don't they Just emerge from the mountain.
i don't recall honestly
but i could absolutely see villain arc aegirine deciding to take more aggressive measures for rebuilding her people
Maybe she can turn living people into Icejade. 
So the fact we went from the Snake-Eye monsters being named after trees to Dia's childhood in a forest can't be a coincidence, right? 
They are probably the burned remains of the Forest
Still no scans
Scans?

why the cringe lol
It's not a cringe
it's suffering
