lore!
I know why we don't have the translations yet but I'm just so excited for them 
The lore implication of the cartesia one is fucked
Like when does she even takes that form.
Can't be post story because she's not a thing post story
Is this alt art or new card
@halcyon crane just alts. Cartia (about to tun unto the white Albion thing) and Despia alluber (he seems to have alba zoa/dis pater powers)
BTW, look at aluber, he has his gem still broken from when Albaz broke out from alba lengths chest orb.
Kitkallos is Luster Pendulum
But how do Ojamas connect to it
Well if we believe Master Duel, then-
Well see Scheiren obviously used to be a Harpie
And we know they hunt Ojamas

Born from the “Zefra” and ordered to exterminate all life forms, Tierra commences its attack. Protecting their friends from the onslaught, Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio and its tamer, Lara, both receive fatal wounds. In that moment, Gaiapelio decides to use the last of its power to grant its everything to Lara. Gaiapelio’s soul then merges into Lara. Given this power, Lara also inherits the power of the “Defender of the Sacred Tree”. As a result, Lara was able to obtain both the power of Creation and Destruction.

Lara "Never mentioned in the LORE" is also a holder of both Creation and Destruction.
Truly, Konmai storytelling is on a diff plane of existence.
Activation of [return 0;]
The rebirth of “Sophia” heralds the reactivation of [return 0;]. For the Genex, improvement of the world meant to destroy the world created by “Sophia” and to recreate it for “Tierra”. Having been acting as the Goddess of Rebirth, they return to the programming to create “Return Zero”. Mounted by “Repair”, the ultimate weapon heads to battle to return both the goddess and the world it created back to nothingness.
Lara decided she's god now after Komoney ignores her
Man why everyone wants to be Sophia
Next thing we get Ojama Sophia, Goddess of annoyance
And then it's just Ojama King with a Wig
I recently learned that Pearl killed Disigma
Funniest shit I have ever seen
he died of diligma
He tried to equipp Deck Destruction Virus
"Nice effect asshole, now check this out."
he hit him with a stand rush
Oh yeah
Pearl was on a lot of Xyz Backrow
I guess that's a pretty nice card for Pearl since theres no effect to detach them anyway
Holy shit
The rest aren't super relevant
Be not afraid they said
How does the Aether Numbers fit into DT?
He's being petrified

Isn't he already a rock??
the fucked up part is the green feathers are Falco's corpse
Pretty much all of the Absorbed ones are dead right?
yeah I just don't remember anyone else who got absorbed
Gustkraken judging by the tentacles
Get fucking got
They killed God
any idea when the new manga chapter will be translated?
theres raws out there, found a portugese translated one
Sorry, it was Indonesian
It's from a FB post
ill try to find the jp raws
Oh fuck's sake the raws are out?
Ugh
My usual place didn't have them reee
I'll have another look tomorrow morning
I couldnt find the raws either 😦
Chapter 5: Vahram is done! Sorry for the delay, took a while to find the raws. Poor Spoon, he just wanted the best for his buddy.

@foggy lotus so spoon is dead ?
Cool touch that they used the symbols from Theurgy for their combined move
Killing him offscreen in weird tho.
I'm thinking he got absorbed by Zoroa (maybe not even on purpose) and he'll show himself after Zoroa goes full out of control, lets a destroy the theurgy and flood the world with mana mode that he was at the start of the manga, to do the whole you still have good in you or whatever speech.
Kinda funny that the Manga turned dark for a ygo thing
Zoroa being like: yah I called ma mother...
I mean the dude killed his mother, he sure can do whatever.
Can't unsee
It looks like it
I like to imagine that Star Eater is somehow sealed to Flame Wingman arm, Nube/Zafina-style
Made you wonder what Burstinatrix actually is...
Yo what if it's a Raven & Trigon kinda shit.
Where burst has an evil thing sealed inside her and that's from where she gets her fire power.

Made sense, Star Eater has multiple set of eyes, but when Burst channeled it, only has one pair of eyes
To represent that she only tap the energy, not fully unleashed it
Makes since why burst is the one that gets the evil hero Fusion lol
That but also the eyes are green cuz of avian.
Burstinatrix is a warlock to Star Eater
Nah that's her evil dad sealed inside her
And one day will come out and eat the sun.

Like it has been prophesied
Infernal Sniper also Burst based fusion, even more than Rampart Blaster
It's not just Burst with Clayman armor, the armor are now fitted to her color
what would an Evil Hero Mudballman be?
Evil HERO Sludge something or Something Sludge
Evil HERO Sludge Ogre to go with Lightning Golem.
yeah I was thinking of pollution
Captain Pollution!
God damn, Burstinatrix, the Star Child? 
I still don't get wtf's going tbh
Satellarknight Unukalhai > turn into > Shaddoll Squamata.
Then Qliphort Genius > fuses with > Shaddoll Squamata > to make > Qliphort Genius... ?
Unuk -> Shadow Prison -> Squamata (to steal the power of connecting stars) -> corrupts Bixi into Jiatou -> Jiatou synchros with Taotie -> Yazi -> <MISSING ENTRY> - Taotie is purified & Lara rides him
The question is where does Nehshaddoll come in the timeline
Because if it exists before Squamata, that's easy
The problem is its first incarnation (as genius) is a Qliphort card
If it started out as Nehshaddoll, then it'd be a bit simpler
Yeh. But why a shaddoll has a Qlif Frame
I know what you're saying
It's a very confusing card
It makes much more sense that genius took over Squamata/fused with it somehow (or at least just the shell)
@lean surge
So that's just that Fairy ain't it?
It's Lee, yeah
JFC
WL sequel?
This looks like the cover for a metal album
Kt is pretty damn sick Artwork
Sadly the effect is just a potential Beatstick that dissapears during the End Phase
I mean maybe Link Material I guess
WL stands for Wa Luigi
@foggy lotus idk if you found it, but the manga raws are out somewhere
i couldnt find them myelf but a person on fb sent a pic of one of the chapters
Oh bb
That took a turn I didn't see coming.
Yeah 
No card found for “Magistus Zoroa”
[Magistus Zoroa]
Level: 4
[ Spellcaster / Tuner / Effect ]
ATK 1500 / DEF 1500
You can target 1 "Magistus" monster you control; equip it with 1 "Magistus" monster from your Extra Deck. If this card becomes equipped with a "Magistus" Monster Card: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 Spellcaster monster from your hand or GY in Defense Position, except "Zoroa, the Magistus of Flame", but its effects are negated. You can only use each effect of "Zoroa, the Magistus of Flame" once per turn.
If this card becomes equipped with a "Magistus" Monster Card: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 Spellcaster monster from your hand or GY in Defense Position, except "Zoroa, the Magistus of Flame", but its effects are negated.
this effect is to revive Spoon...

[Magistus vritra] [email protected]
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.
I still wonder wtf do they mean by Level 4 or lower
When all the stuff are Level 4 or higher/ or don't have a Level.
Newest manga chapter potential breaks card art canon and buries the gays.

I say potentially, because you can still pretend the pose in Vritra could've somehow happened offscreen, also ignore the ground peeking thru. Or you could with the even more cope reasoning of the Dragon returning and we'll get Vritra scene there.
Has to be a diff scene
All the markings on Zoroa came from absorbing Vahram
@lean surge tbf I don't think the Manga is going 1 to 1 with the card stuff
This one never happened in the Manga
Yeah got DM'd for it
nothing special he's just "Wow that's horrible, who did this to you?" and Zoroa's like "Me lol"
Zoroa is like "I'm hot, I can do anything"
Literally one of them Instagram gays

Right down to the toxicity
Yugioh is really evolving
I guess this is an alternate timeline.
Or they'll show those card arts in a flashback someday. I really don't know...
Zoroa be the kind of guy that goes "This is terrible, who keep this?" While putting back the spoiled cartoned milk back to fridge he just drank directly.
Got that right 
Why do I always gotta like the toxic f boy characters?
Wut
They are attracted to Zoroa, despite his shortcomings morally
In The Past: in Sinful Spoils Deception we see rcia and silve getting corrupted(?), presumably the consequence of whatever asteria and risette did stupid kids
In The Present: we see diabellze talking to regina (Azamina Hamartia), looks like she's carrying poplar. presumably this is the trigger for the other azamina showing up. 'hamartia' is a hero's fatal flaw, "to err", the reason for a character's downfall; what's the deal here? it seems likely that regina is the source of the corruption, maybe diabellze is trying to appease it in a "surely the big evil thing will keep its word"?
in the present, we have diabelle and the goblin bikers breaking out of prison (Grand Imprisonment) when elysictone shows up (Grand Crisis)
evil silvera and rciela show up and confront diabellestar (Azamina Ofeiletis) - 'ofeiletis' is greek for 'debtor' so this has some interesting implications
then evil silvera and rciela get offscreened by diabellestar (Sinful Spoils Offenders)
so
- what's the deal with diabell fiendess? she just didn't show up anywhere
- what the fuck is regina??????????? there's some parallels to fiendess with the illusion/lv8 to lv6s but visually i don't really see it
- does elysictone represent something if the other lv6s appear to be spoils-related?
- what happened with rcia and silve? if they were turned into azaminas, then where did the spoils rciela and silvera come from? is the illusion typing supposed to signify that they're thistle constructs or something?
- what even defines a spoils? is it possible that murcielago and rhea silvera are actually rcia and silve, and the spoils were created some other way?
oh shit hang on

Beware the White Woods presents diabell's symbol as being spooky and ominous
Legend of the White Woods has asteria risette silve rcia as solid silhouettes with the stick puppet things, whereas diabell is part of the background
The Fiend of the White Woods has diabell with the apple, and asteria + risette looking to get it. here, diabell has a lot of eye motifs hanging around - the same as those in sacred azamina - and her silhouette appears to be breaking apart near the bottom
Whispers of the Sinful Spoils shows asteria and risette with diabell's apple hanging off of what looks like it could be one of diabell's tendril things, given the gradient hue
Woes of the White Woods depicts monstrous versions of the bat and the wolf, with diabell's symbol in the back
so diabell is almost certainly regina wearing a less spooky face
what if making a deal with it is what creates a sinful spoils?
what if to do so, it separates a person's soul from their body or something similar? we know the silvera and rciela spoils have almost human-like personalities that would make sense if they were silve and rcia, so it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to say that they really became both azamina and spoils
if this is the case, then elysictone would be another spoils - its design seems reminiscent of snake-eye, but they don't have a fiend to make it with so it'd have to be something else
ok yeah the 6s are all "illusion + thing" regina assimilates them into the thistle

so Erysichthon was a Greek guy who in most variations of the myth cut down a sacred tree(s) and angered demeter
idt it's super close to the egle myth but I can see the resemblance if I squint, ig
so the jury's still out on whether we'll be getting a snake-eye fiend, it could always be morrian
but then again silve and rcia kept similar names so it could be a yet unrevealed spoil
plenty of interesting things to think about
@devout hearth Moa Regina is likely Morrian
We know from the concept art that Morrian is some kinda crow/bird thing.
oo nice catch
diabellze's reference art says morrian is an
“Assimilated Sinful Spoils without a self”
and then we have
This card is named after the Morrígan, an Irish goddess of war and death. The black feathered design of this "Sinful Spoils" artifact ("Diabellze's" right arm) is a reference to how the Morrígan is known to appear in the form of a crow.
so we're getting somewhere
My prediction on each Sinful Spoil getting a Fusion form was right.
But, everything surrounding the circumstances was wrong.

I was expecting mats that were Diabellestar + respective Sinful Spoil (or any but bonus eff if you use the correct one) and being a contact fusion by sending the above cards you control to grave. The S/Ts kinda emulate that but not really.
so back into it,
diabellze having morrian implies to me that she's probably more willingly working with moa rather than having just struck a deal; so maybe hamartia is just supposed to refer to sin in general and diabellze is just a bitch
i think it's pretty clear at this point that moa creates the spoils. silve and rcia get converted after the kids Commit Sin and eat the apple; morrian is in moa's image without a self and given to its lackey diabellze to do Evil Tasks like kidnapping cats and that seems like a bit much of a coincidence otherwise
morrian being without a self is also kinda fucked bc that means spoils don't have to be sentient and moa just does it for Classic Evil Reasons™️
oh yeah @white fox why sinful spoils of regret? that name fits into what i think the narrative is better than Offenders so i'm curious as to the process
Is he still muted?
Toga 咎 can translate to Mistake, Wrongdoing
Though I also mistook Subject and Object in the hurry 
nyaruhodo
Who
Okay...where are the eye of wdjats this time?
The bat has them in the red jewels
On the red orb things
This one?
Oh wait, the one in the artworks are yellow instead of black lined.
Shabriri looking lady
Hi
Has anyone here talked about Fiendsmith happening after the world ends?
@foggy lotus chapter 7 leaks are out on the internet
i have an indonesian translation here but idk where to find the japanese one
Found'em
@foggy lotus btw, can i ask what site you use to locate them?
I found a forum a while back that had the panels but I didn't say the link
Off bilibili now
since the forum dude no longer posts for whatever reason
New lore dropped
Neptabyss is now king of the mermails (and Atlanteans) bringing a new age of peace for the mermails and atlanteans
Eh we still don't know the timeline
He could either be the king himself of the son.
We have 0 idea where it takes place
What you mean?
I'm refering to the new link 3 that called neptabyss "the mermail royal" and the fact that the mermail and Atlantean cards are combined now
Again it does not give us a timeline.
It could be the future or the far past
How so?
Like I don't think Konami would make 2 characters named neptabyss when neptabyss was prince of the Atlanteans prior to this
And it's not like we don't know all of the timeline
We do know the timeline of the previous lore due to master duel
Idea A: Neptabyss is the Son of Abyssgaios and Abysstrite
Idea B: Neptabyss is Abyssgaios himself but younger (before he got reincarnated in Poseidra's body after he took the ring).
Neither are confirmed by any means
Also the mermails keep changing names anyway.
Abyssalacia and Abysstrite are one and the same. It's just one is the future, while the other is the past. But we don't know which is which
Abyssalacia has legs too just like the Main Deck version of Neptabyss.
While the Link 3 Neptabyss has Poseidra's Lower body, just like Abyssgaios.
Reminding myself of mermail lore
One thing is for sure
This was at least after the mermails had settled in lemuria as noted how you can see it behind king neptabyss
(Which means after abysstrite)
Tbf in the artwork of the link 3, lemuria does not seems to be fully underwater. So it can be after or before.
For all he knows, he used his power to make it inhabitable again. Or vice versa
The thing is the mermails weren't in lemuria before it sunk
That one was confirmed by master duel
If it isn't sunk and the mermails are there it would mean it had to be rerisen
Here's the thing tho. lore is mixed on that.
The old lore says it sunk. But master guide 4 said it actually resurfaced.
Lemuria resurfacing with which would make it inhabitable to the mermail makes way more sense imo.
Timeline is
Lemuria was built > seismic activitiy sinks it > nomadic mermails settle down in it with abysstrite as their only royal family member
So even there official lore can't make up it's mind on "if lemuria sunk down or resurfaced"
Either way one if those made it inhabitable
Okay I'm reading master 4
Also nothing says the mermail built it. It seems like they just found it's ruins underwater and lived in it. Until the tectonic shift incident in which case they left to live with the Atlanteans due to the lack of choice.
They didn't build it
I just said
They found it
Read the gagaga Academy lore too
Since like I said, the zexal era lore is a bit different
Also I'm reading the lore and you seem to be mistaken about something
It sunk and then resurfaced
This is why we need an updated version of the lore honestly
That factors neptabyss
Here's a weird thing tho. Link 3 Neptabyss has Poseidra's lower body. Which means it cannot be before Poseidra.
We know the only reason abyssgaios has poseidra's lower body is cuz he took over him.
But things start to make much less sense when you consider. Poseidra is also back and better than before.
And yet we see Garunix killing abyssgaios
I can't make sense of the events.
So
Reading up all the lore again
Here is what we know
Lemuria was built by an unknown civilization > seismic activity causes it to sink > the mermails, who are nomadic, find it and decide to settle down with their queen > war breaks out > lemuria resurfaces due to another seismic activity > Atlanteans manage to steal bracelet and poseidra puts it on > powerful bracelet stuff happens > poseidra gets taken over by abyssgaios, king of the mermails, who wipes the Atlantean army
From this point on we have no clue what happens
However
Because we can see the lemuria has resurfaced in neptabyss art
We know this happens AFTER this
Cause the mermails were not in lemuria before it sunk
Here's a funny thing. The Fandom thinks lemuria is the Lightsworn's field lol. ( similar architecture and all) but that's just a fan Theory
Ooo neat theory
Ooo I can see it
But I think it's a bit too different to be it
But I can see it being possible
I mean we don't know if the mermails added to it or not
Or how much time has passed
Or just another section we don't get to see
True
1 thing triggers me about the plot tho
fish ppl
wanna take over a fire island
Poseidra is dumb or some shit ?
Poseidra wants everything :x
He wants to be fish and chips
Just because you're WATER doesn't means you can't be grilled
If this was some greak myth... abyssgaios burning to death would birth a new race of cloud ppl. @halcyon crane
Cloudian Deep Lore
The Fire Island lore is big for no reason.
We got like 4 archetypes and still counting
So something to note about poseidra
Despite how it seems Konami does like giving cards lore based effects
And one big lore implication is that
Poseidra abyss is able to XYZ summon itself on top of a mermail (or Atlantean) XYZ card
This would imply that he likely came back after something happened to abyssgaios
So did he regain control after garunix eternity was burnt to crisp
Maybe
After all we still see the ring in his neck
maybe we were all wrong and neptabyss was the love child of abysstrite and poseidra actually
I mean be it Abyssgaios or Poseidra does not change much. They are the same thing in some ways.
They have the same lower body.
I mean if we going to talk genetically. Neptabyss would still inherit the atlantian characteristics from abyssgaios and be both Mermail and Atlantean royalty
Yeah true
I think they are just able to switch between them like some mermaids in media
Like the entirety of Bermuda triangle in vanguard
Do they ? Because the lore implies that once the ring got lost in lemuria when it resurfaced. abysstrite had no access to it or way of getting it. Until the Atlanteans found it (seems they can go on land just fine)@pearl obsidian
I mean
It's possible
Probable even that they are able to switch between legs and fins at will
But that just a theory
Yet they have been winning :x
That's why new pussydra bouncess
Even the recent fire vs water card pops lol

Fire kings having their own ring makes no sense
Also the rings seem about to merge
Inb4 this is how this thing was born
Mama fire bird and daddy sea dragon
When you fused but ended up vanilla
When a cock ring and an arm band like each other very much, they...
Now I want to know about Phantasm Spiral Dragon. Dude just popped up in the middle of that conflict to fight them both lmao.
We need more of their support. Vanillas need more love.
Go on 👀
See that’s what I’m thinking
What the heck is that thing even about?
They have some audacity to sneak Mad Hacker into the Malice cards and not reprint him in DBCB.
A[Mad Hacker]
[Mad hacker] if written by Vivziepop
Could not resolve English data for searches: madhacker
Level: 2
[ Cyberse / Effect ]
ATK 1000 / DEF 600
If a monster(s) is Special Summoned to your opponent's field (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. During the End Phase: You can banish this card you control; take control of 1 monster your opponent controls with the lowest ATK (your choice, if tied), but while it is face-up on your field, it cannot activate its effects also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Link Monsters. You can only use each effect of "Mad Hacker" once per turn.
If your bitch of an opponent decides to special summon a monster to their field, yes, even one of those asshole blue ones, you can slap this card onto the field from your hand. By Lucifer's smelly ballsack, you can also do this by summoning it there yourself, no questions fucking asked. When the End Phase rolls around and you finished sucking your own dick, you can banish this card you control and cuck them by stealing their weakest monster (you get your pick if there's a tie), I recommend the tuners, I heard they give a mean blow for some crack. But here's the fucking catch, while you have it, it's as good as a dead lay. I should know, I've been on both sides of that field, if you know what I mean, polebrother. Also, you can't summon anything from the Extra Deck except those Link assholes. And don’t even think about trying either effect more than once per turn, fuckface.
this is worse than any of the brainrot i have posted
+2
Wait he is speen now ?
YOU CAN SMIIIILE AGAIN
Yeah something something zoroastrian something something -_- I kind of hate it
god forbid we do different cultures
Rotate Crocodile
Speeeeeeeeeeeeeen
"I am speed" vs. "I am speen".
It's not a matter of different cultures it's a matter of readability vs spelling

Like I'm happy to call him Speen
But most people aren't going to read that "Spoon" at a glance
Which is why I left a note
Oh I just realized we got full lore context for the terminal world cards
So it confirms that lancea was the original dragon
Georgius and prior/mirror master were once enemies but united in trying to stop lancea, Georgius managed to split it into 3 but was gravely injured and then the 3 pieces came to life as the 3 dragons we know now
Mirror master/prior swears on his life that he will seal the 3 dragons in honor of Georgius and goes out on his journey
Oh and Georgius went and hid in mist valley after the battle which we was gravely injured
Lancea's lore kinda stinky
Why do you say that?
I dislike "this is where things came from" prequel-retcon thingos
And we never needed to
And them being one dragon had been a theory for a while
If Trishula alone can freeze the entire world
Are we supposed to believe anybody would stand a chance against 3x Trish
It's bad fanfic
Considering that it took 1 guy to seal away Trish prior to this
Yes
Supposedly georgius is as strong as prior/mirror mage at his prime
The same guy who managed to seal the 3 dragons by himself
So with them working together
They would be a force to be reckoned with
Next we'll learn Georgius is Avance's great grandfather
Probably not
Georgius is of the bird people of mist valley
So if he is the grandfather/father of any card it would be someone from mist valley
Probably Falcon
I guess I mostly don't dig the "these dragons were a fusion all along" type-thing
The Divine Lance was cool, Ascalon was less cool to me
Why does Cyber Valley have an organic zombie face in it?
Cyber drak dragon too
Ew, why are there zombies inside the machines lol? Are they captured dragons from Cyber Emergency that got reanimated into cyborgs?
That's a manga card, the art is just random
Shame.
I thought it was gonna be some good lore. 😭
So all we know is that these dragon machines are made in a facility and that's it.
Bc it looks sick
Rank 10 Yugioh?
headcanon for swordsouls: they have a code of modesty. That's why we hardly see any skin. Additionally, they only show their face to those they trust or when they absolutely need to.
Ok team, time to figure out more timeline stuff.
New Crystron tuner is the Metalfoes Vanisher equivalent, except they kept good by being a Level 2 Tuner instead of Level 9. Also -1k/-1k to the stats because we can't have a 3k def level 2.
So, this is after Parametalfoes Fusion and Quan gets hits with the Blue juice.
Tho, the question remains where does Halq fit into all this?
Either the 3 Tuners fused to Halq and then defused and Quan powered up via VFD juice or they combined to Halq after, and he just lost the Fathomer vibes somehow. Neither really click with me.
Another wild idea is Halq was the original and then split to three tuners or smthg. Tho, his clashing color scheme doesn't lend itself to him being an "original being that was split" over "random parts combination" machine.
Also, Quan was originally a Level 1. This being a Level 2, could just be a powerup or maybe its the avg of all the Tuners or maybe a Halq reference, kinda hard to tell since his stats reference Bahrastros over the original, but him being 500/500 like the original wouldn't help anyway, since all the tuners have those stats. 
Hmmmm.
Looking thru the stats, I never noticed but Crystron Phoenix is a Level with 9 with the same stat total as Bahrastros.
Wack.
Checked if MFoes had smthg similar but their Level 9 is a 3k/3k and Zoo obv doesn't have a 9.
Going back to this being the Crystron Fathomer. It not being a 9 like Bahrastros means Zoo getting a Level 9 in the future meme is dead.

Hmmm, what's the deal with Sulfdhole? Like it is meant to Sulfefnir retrain right, hence the similar look/Level 5. But why the odd statline of 1900/2250?
The only other 50 statlines in this storyline and Luster/Lector Pend and their various forms and the Amorphages.
what is the symbol on the shoulder pauldron?
https://cdn.ygorganization.com/2024/09/fathomerincarnate.jpg is the orb in its chest this one?
It's the Crystron logo, but its black now.
Wait, some mons already had it black, so that's not new.
Wait, I just realized smthg.
ah ok
Kinda hard to tell what the Synchro is made up of. It just looks like a grown up version of new Quan, rather than a combination of Tuner + Non Tuner.
Since, I don't think there's a White non-Tuner.
Ok, I figured it out.
It's the combined stats/2 thing again.
It's Sulfefnir 2000/1500 + Bahrostros 1900/3000 avg.
Hmmmm.
I guess, Bahrastros power was divied up between Quan and Sulfefnir.
Both picked up a reference to the atk/def but not the level. This is so sad.

a[parametalfoes fusion]
Hmmmm. I can't seem to find any orb that quite matches the one in the spell.
Closest is the armpit orbs on Bahrastros/VFD.
Why is Quan pondering on the orb instead of direct combining like Metalfoes Vanisher.
They really put orb on the weirdest spots do they
The fact that Crystron Prasiortle didn't get a Synchro is just fucked
Can't figure out the deal with new Synchro's stats.
Best I could come up is Sulfadhole or Sulfefnir + new Tuner levels and Sulfefnir stats + Quan stats + 100/100, which is forcing it a lot.
Ok, I think I figured out Halq as pre Quariongandrax. So, it goes Quan(and the other 2 Tuners) -> Halq -> Combine with Sulfefnir to become Quariongandrax, and then this becomes the base of Metaltron XII, and remnant Tuner stuff becomes new Tuner and ponders the orb, remnant Sulfefnir combines with the orb to become Sulfedhole. And.... uh.... new Tuner just goes Synchro mode for reasons.
Hmmmm. I'm not sure if this is meant to be Dhole over Doll.
Don't quite agree with this as Dhole feels like a random ass animal.
Also, Elecskeletals is just random shit.
Did they just defuse him
Dhole would make sense if it was Lithosagym rather than Bahrastos
I'm assuming they just drained his powers a bit.
Since they'd be a vague canid connection
Would be underwhelming if the story abruptly ended with them defusing the mainboss and combining with the parts wholesale.
VFD actually got stuck trying to leave the dimensional rift
Currently we know, the peeps on VFD's ass are Master Peace, Metaltron XII, then the baby True Dracos powered up as Dracoslayers/the old clans like Majespecter/Igknights/Dinomist of which Majesty Maiden further evolved as a full Majespecter Xyz. Prob same happens to the other two. Metalfoes Vanisher. The other 2 beings hit by the lights, tho in Crystron's case, it was both Quan and Sulfefenir gaining partial powers maybe, gotta wait and Zoo what Zoo ended up with.
Alternatively, Majesty Xyz form was actually a precusor to her Dracoslayer form, so the old clans are not in the war and the Majespecter support wave was just a training flashback. Would solve the issue of her going from human legs to horse legs than back to human riding a horse, maybe instead she just combined with Kirin to become Pegasus.
Hmmmm. Thinking on it, this does make more sense. And also explain her going from a 5 scale in Xyz form to fully inheriting Kirin's 2 scale as her Dracoslayer/Majespecter form.
No wait.
I remember the new Spell shows her with horse legs alongside Kirin.
She just gets them for a split second and then ditches them to ride Kirin, I guess.
Can't double up on horse legs, that'd be foolish
Btw are the new jurrac cards suggesting that astero was the one which entered the stratosphere via the volcano and combined with some of the other jurracs to make meteor?
Don’t think anyone doubted it but the lswarm linked to the Fabled confirmed
But what’s weird is card on the right is Steelswarm Origin but the Steelswarm were locked away while the Fabled are active in DT part 1. And the last Fabled support we got indicated that the new Synchro was possibly killed by Fabled Andwraith
Probably some time shit
Where the time in fabled world is not the same as the normal world
tfw Fabled only threatening when they dies
Yeah feels like heavy retcon too
There's no way they thinking fabled when first designed Steelswarm/Evilswarm
Nekroz Gungnir appearing after the Ice Barrier Dragons were absorbed by Devyaty
So this guy possessed his fellow dead Fabled brethren as a virus too? Hardcore.
Curious he's named after Beelzebub
I wonder if there's an art connection to Steelswarm Roach we're missing
I mean
Theyve been hinting at it since 2018 with [steelswarm origin]
Rating: Link-2 (⬆⬇)
[ Fiend / Link / Effect ]
ATK 2000
2 "lswarm" monsters
While this card is in the Extra Monster Zone, if a monster would be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck to the Main Monster Zone, it must be Summoned in the zone this card points to. While this card points to a monster, neither player can target it with card effects, also it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. Once per turn, when a monster(s) on the field is destroyed by battle or by card effect: You can Special Summon Level 4 or lower "lswarm" monsters from your Deck in Defense Position, up to the number destroyed.
That's link monster designed long after DT story has ended
Anything after that point might as well count as retcon
I mean I guess? But it's not like we ever really knew the origin of creeping darkness or even what it was other than some sort of evil entity
Honestly i think it's more so like this
Steelswarm Origin becomes Leviathan then Leverzebul
So like one of the Viruses just somehow evolved into the first fabled
Like I thought it was originally stated that the lswarm virus came from the dead bodies of the Steelswarm
Yup that's that the lore said
He could still be patient zero
If they don't call him Fablswarm I'll be disappointed
the fact that JP Fabled name is Magōshin, so it's easy to combine the two as Magōshinverz
We were robbed of Noblswarm
Making it sub-archetype like Steelswarm/Inverz, but since it Fabled part using kanji, it wont have card interaction with actual Steelswarm cards
Noblswarm is good name
The Smugglswarm are a group of Nimblswarm who snuck into the Fable's lands
Can we talk about the normal looking City lol
Also why Worm Zero (started as a Shaddoll thingy)~
The normal city is their home dimension
But who lives there, the tribes don't live in any place like that.
The Worms
Apparently, the Jurrac and Fabled went to that Home Dimension too in [Jurrac Impact]
We do have ancestor monsters from Ice Barrier, why not a city in between that time? 😉
I do hope we get to see who lived in that city before it became decrepit...
That's for in 5 years time when we get "Originators of the Terminal World"
And it turns out everyone owned the Ice Barrier mirror technology at some point
That would be cool actually. And then that technology ended their society because someone got too ambitious. 
Oh oh she got a new crown and a new dress
Also she made guards
imagine posting from within enion cradle
HOLY SHIT
Albaz LORE is so based, man.
Literally every DT retcon LORE they post makes my headache more but for Albaz it's the opposite.
Also, sick to see Aegir build on her empire as everyone expected.
It's actually nice when things happen for a reason instead of random backstory we never see. Tho, Albaz LORE isn't entirely immune to this as well.
Yeah I love how much more personality Albaz lore has
Bro, Ad Libitum is Bowmaxxing.
Has he been doing this shit since the Trap. Like non stop? 
Ecclesia being a foodie is like 2 lines in VBEX1. Then we got shit ton of memes from it in the OCG community and such. Now, it's canon.
It's peak.
Kitt being gremlin is mood
It wasn't even in VBEX. It's 1 line from her concept art.
What are Adin and Theo arguing about?
Like the mask is obv Aluber, but what about the scale?
Also, is that fucking the Shoulder Rockey soot on the pan?
He's just heating up the pan, right? Ecclesia didn't eat him up, right?

Don't reminds me that technically outside of what shown on card art, there's not many depth on DT characters
Granted, nowaday there's more leeway for artist to show the card concept art, and thus we can gather more of their personality thru small doodle like how Ecclesia is big eater and Diabellstar somehow can drunk by drinking mineral water?
If anything, I would love if DT got that treatment
I still find it funny how Diabellstar & Diabellze rivalry started because the latter tore the former beloved book apart as to force little Asteria to play with her
And the comment on the concept art even called Risette natural born liar
Probably who was worst (dogmatika or despia) (likely a meta joke too)

Pinning this til @jade iron has the time to compile and add them to the drive.
Holy shit, young Shuraig is so great.
Esp. love baby Kitt.
Why does she have a Omnitrix symbol bag tho?
Owo
Also, this is how young Kitt was when she banished along with her sister for being "Theiving cats"? Wack.
Both of them sprouting a wing each to make Sanctifire shows it is a proper combination fusion like Alba Lenatus was.
Also, man just love these two.
LMAO, you can even see Rockey soot on the image above just under Albaz' tail.
Never thought of this but Mirrorjade's blades being some sort of memory related stuff makes sense as how we see memories in the bubbles of one of the Icejade.
Tho, I wonder if the cracked one here somehow means Kosmochlor died as this happened. Not sure if that fully lines up with VBEX saying Kosmochlor and Chengying gave him their power as they died or smthg, but I have to double check. Could also just be just before Chengying dies to Longjohn.
I think it's a reference to using quartz as data storage. (Probably another life sim too)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage
5D optical data storage (also branded as Superman memory crystal, a reference to the Kryptonian memory crystals from the Superman franchise) is an experimental nanostructured glass for permanently recording digital data using a femtosecond laser writing process. Discs using this technology could be capable of storing up to 360 terabytes worth of...
It always bothered me that the four blades in the original art showed the previous 4 Albaz Dragons but one of them was just Albaz riding a ship so it always felt off, so it instead being memories of that time instead of say smthg like remnats of his previous dragonizations makes much more sense.
Kitt is actually a Magician, cuz how do you make this from that?
Kitt is god level scientist at this point
Kitt has got her hands on so much crazy tech, it ain't even funny
Just remember but we still don't have the Sargas/Therion/Spright that corresponds to Capricorn, right?
Why did they randomly skip it. They even included the 13th Zodiac but not this.
Wow Shuraig was kind of shat on for having just one wing huh
Feel like we were supposed to get another Fire Thunder md way back in their introduction or just next set, but Konami never delivered.
Also, Capricorn is a weird exclude.
a capricorn would be water tho
And as far as the sprights go.
We missing green
Spright Ghost
Upper-atmospheric lightning and ionospheric lightning are terms sometimes used by researchers to refer to a family of short-lived electrical-breakdown phenomena that occur well above the altitudes of normal lightning and storm clouds. Upper-atmospheric lightning is believed to be electrically induced forms of luminous plasma. The preferred usage...
Ghosts
Ghosts (greenish optical emission from sprite tops) are faint, green glows that appear within the footprint of a red sprite, remaining after the red has dissipated, and fading away in milliseconds.[37] Though possible examples of ghosts can be seen in historical images, ghosts were first noted as an exclusive phenomenon by storm chasers Hank Schyma and Paul M Smith in 2019.[38]
The first spectroscopy study to analyze the dynamics and chemistry of ghosts was led by the Atmospheric Electricity group of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA). This experimental campaign reported the main contributors to the greenish hue of a single event recorded in 2019 to be atomic iron and nickel, molecular nitrogen and ionic molecular oxygen. A weak -but certain- contribution of atomic oxygen, and atomic sodium and ionic silicon were also detected.[39]
Sprights are all Fire or Dark.
Ferrijit ran off with Kitt because Kitt was going to be fucking sacrificed as per their tribal customs
Oh I guess that's what she stole huh 
Dang the half animal tribes are no different than Dogmatika, no wonder Tri-Brig left
I mean't the therion's attribute. Not the spright. Ghost would be another dark logicly
Oh, fair fair.
Fallen of Argyros is kinda ... fucked tbh
Like i have no idea what the dude is doing
It's every spright in the shell of albalos + kitt's jacket
And it's trying to revive the therions ?
Hopefully Albaz 2 wont have heavy time skip to the point of Albaz-Ecclessia have kid(s)
Am not ready of Boruto treatment the same way Shurit is
Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you.
The boy glared at the monster before him.
His life with the Wing Tribe had been hell.
Considered a failure because he only had one wing. A child of misfortune that smeared mud on the pride they held in their wings.
Though many of his own people hurled abuse at him, the look in their eyes were all the same.
He was "impure".
His body was treated cruelly, his heart was rent, and in the end, he was simply thrown to the wayside.
Nowhere to go, nothing to live for, all he could hear were death's footsteps.
A miraculous encounter would save this boy, who had succumbed to despair.
A girl who kidnapped her younger sister, who was chosen as a sacrifice according to the ancient customs of the Claw Tribe.
Shackled by the bloodline of the Fang Tribe, a cursed boy who could revert to a beast.
They were not so different from him, unwanted children* loved by no one and abandoned by fate.
But that was exactly what would draw them to each other, to rely on each other.
They were his first friends, who did not define him by his "impurity" and gave him a name.
I will not let them die.
Those metal arms could squash him with ease.
Even so, I will protect them.
Those steel feet could crush him with ease.
Even so, I will protect them.
It would only be sometime later that the boy would come to learn that he had just had another miraculous encounter.
*落とし仔 pretty sure can mean bastard child too (just like Albaz teehee)
The top bits seem to be generic descriptions of tribs and springans too tired to look at it all
Oh I guess springans gained sentience from the constant metal on metal violence orgy they were having up there
With metal constantly being melted back down and reforged etc.
Argyro System's kanji here is like "Custodian of the Zodiac"
What artbook is this from? Or is this the albaz lore compilation collection thing
The latter
Neat
Bro imagine if kitt was actually sacrificed as a baby...
💀
This would be a very different story
SHE'S SO PRECIOUS
If kitt didn't exist, albaz would have died the same day he showed up lol
No kitt > no weapons for the Tri
The Tri might never face the dogmatika
And thus, they won't be there when albaz shows up
@foggy lotus ya know what's more precious, the fact that the Tri saw themeselfs in Albaz.
"Help him, he just like us"
he just like me fr
She's so precious.
Kitt fucking destroyed a giant god machine with her fucking bio-engineered jacket lightning laser

I'll sort it in a bit, are there any I've missed?
Uploaded, ping me again if you need any additionals adding
I'll probably do the fleur one next assuming someone else doesn't get to them first 
translation for fleur
peak
Sick
Oh there's a few little things
Hmm
God I need to reference swordsoul lore
Fucking hell
A deep, deep slumber.
The saint sank and became one with the brilliant, red abyss.
Hundreds of hands enveloped her, tearing at her, pulling her apart as they sought out and fought over her soul.
Her dignity as a proud saint, the days of training to uphold that image, and the admiration she received from the people.
Her victories, her growth, and her glory.
"That belongs to me." "That was mine." As hundreds of hands cried out, disgorging thousands of profanities, swarming about and trying to claim the bravest of souls, Fleurdelis slowly disintegrated with a great roar.A light pierced the abyss.
The light created shadows, and the shadows formed images.That form...
Illuminated by the warm light, a figure slowly but surely became to emerge from the great mass.
Ecclesia.
At that moment, the great mass began to writhe and thrash about.
The saints that were one with the mass regained their self and reached out with countless hands to claim Ecclesia.
However, holding all the hands back and restraining them, Fleurdelis reawakened.I will not allow a single finger, a single fingernail to touch her.
The one thing that no one could take from her, even after becoming one with the Blazing Saint, was her drive to protect Ecclesia.
She manifested her soul*, and began to bind all the scattered souls of the saints into her own sword.It was but a momentary awakening.
She bore witness to a wicked dragon, but a husk of its former self, chasing a white dragon.I said I will not allow you to touch her.
The bravest saint transformed the souls into countless bolts of crimson lightning, and hurled them at the wicked dragon, the source of all the ills.
All to protect the one most important to her, as it always has been.*Did my best here but this is in reference to the same powers wielded by the Swordsoul
What a fucking
BADASS

i gotta write a oneshot where she survives
The classics always go hard. 
So many filler characters
So this is how they gonna fluff up the story... we already doing filler arc
Fluff that may become real cards in the future lmao.
We all love that stuff in the Sky Striker manga. 
bro random fillery character spotted
Something, the Mgistus Random Girl
[Level 4/Spellcaster/Tuner]
Could not resolve English data for searches: level 4/spellcaster/tuner
we got to many tuners
peace please
lvl 4 non turner ples
Ah, hell naw.
3 more OCs dropped, with a potential 4th in the Dragon to be summoned.
We are gonna go the Striker route of bloating the story with filler chars and the story crumbles in its own weight to fit with existing canon.

I guess this means we're never gonna go to the post-Magistus timeline. 😭
Can't wait for "old man of the magistus"
We're gonna go the ARC-V route with that girl in the bubble and that dude in the cave somehow being everyone's mom and dad. D:
Why would u say that...
Because the ARC-V manga ending scarred us all and we should never forget that it did.
No i'm saying its not even the same case.
That's like comparing potatoes to giraffes
i have to agree, man were prob going to get only 1 card of support for their archetypes
this chapter could be better served as a better entry into crowley's back-story rather then this b plot
At the rate they are going, I don't think the other archetypes will get more cards.
It'll prob be another 2-4 Magistus cards.
Maybe another Endymion card, but that's just because it's literally his name and prob not even work well with Pendymions.
It would be cool if they tried to do cross archetype cards atleast, then you could have your cake of only Magistus era related stuff, while also supporting their future archetypes.
if Magistus got a way to add a lvl 4 spellcaster from deck, they might be able to work with all those archetypes
oh not spellbook thou
I don't have high hopes for that good of a design.
Best case scenario, is smthg like Verre, the Progenitor Witchcrafter. This is always treated as a "Magistus" monster and an effect that could work in both decks. Smthg like Zefras but actually good.
Now that I think about it, the newer Dracoslayer wave is a much better example.
[ignis phoenix dracoslayer]
Level: 4 |
Pendulum Scale: 7
[ Warrior / Pendulum / Effect ]
ATK 1700 / DEF 1900
During your Main Phase: You can shuffle 1 face-up Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck into the Deck, then add 1 non-Pendulum "Dracoslayer" or "Igknight" monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Ignis Phoenix, the Dracoslayer" once per turn.
(This card is always treated as an "Igknight" card.)
If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Dracoslayer" or "Igknight" monster from your Deck, except "Ignis Phoenix, the Dracoslayer", and if you do, it is treated as a Tuner. You can only use this effect of "Ignis Phoenix, the Dracoslayer" once per turn.
This is my vision on the best possible case.
Worst case scenario, is we get 6 Magistus only cards, half of which are well below rate like the Sky Striker Sages are.
Kinda hate how Zoroa does not even have his own Archetype
I liked it.
It gave us a sense of mystery on what happened for the Magistus to seperate into their own ways.
Tho, the manga's provided answers for that is so....

Would've been cool if he were like the heart of the party and died after he battled and fused with Vahram or smthg, and him no longer being there was the catalyst of their seperation.
Let's say Endy becomes scared of what Magic can do in the hands of the untrained and becomes the Tyrant emperor dedicated to keep Magic to Magicians only, which then goes on to wage war against the Spellbook Tower (who freely give Magic knowledge to commoners, perhaps he even knew of/atleast suspects of Aliester's involvement).
Aleister tries Summoning Magic as a coping mechanism and becomes corrupted as he summons more and more demons and/or under the influence of a specific Summoned Beast. Alternatively, this happens prior and is one of the causes of Zorua's disapperance/death.
Verre is kinda hard to do, but you could just say she wanted to get away from the violence and goes from that melancholic md -> enjoying herself Xyz -> (Devasted at what happened to Zorua and has a falling out with others) -> Now hides and immerses herself as a Magic Artisan and becomes a Lolibaba guild leader for other magicrafters.
There's like so much you could do with what we have, but instead we got another story with 28 filler character for no reason.
Atleast Spoon is a cool addition. I can't really say the same for most of the new Striker cast.
Making Zoroa, the big bad is also an odd choice.
Like how in the world would you even fit a[Magistus Theurgy] into the story.
Like, my first thoughts on this card was this is how Zoroa got his powers or had his powers massively upgraded. Which is referenced by Aruru's creation in a[witchcrafter masterpiece]
So, what is a[trimagistus] even supposed to be?
A sealing technique instead of a magic strengthening or creation one?
so, this is similar to when the broke theurgy, but why is zoroa in the middle?
no idea
we're likely going to see him being sealed in theurgy
so thats what i had to guess
and this is just writing of it
honestly just two more at the level of even chorozo
would be enough for the deck
i've been testing a list out for the past few days since we got spoon
its not amazing since the extender ratios are rough but it has 9 1cc's and 3 2cc's
12 starters in total
just the # of extenders is like 6

I don't expect any of the support stuff to actually be any good
But flavour-wise to the manga they're probably going to be on point
Like Spoon
we are so fucking back
"Guilt of the Sinful Spoils"
I thought he was the leader and the one who taught them about merging with their patron being
Endymion actually made the stones seen on Spell Counter monsters as a way for anyone to be able to use magic. He wants magic regulated and not absolutely free to study whatever you want about it
My b, my b. Thanks for correcting me on that. It's been a while since I read up on the first Endy/La Maison LORE entry.
Endy is not all that good tho
The dude has done experiments on animals
Bro beta tested pendulum on animals... and made a furry race of magical catdog Abominations
This thing ain't natural
Nor is this
Granted by the Nexus King, the embers of an ancient prosperity
Is it gospel, or is it malediction?
The embers shall become the spark that sets the new land ablaze
The knights of Dogmatika shall raise their swords
The beasts of iron shall cock their weapons
There a young boy and girl shall meet
Thus, the gate to the abyss shall open
The stage(Hole) explodes with thunderous joy and sorrow
A short-lived adventure
Yet the shadow of a scheme lurks behind the veil
A melody of love and hate lie hidden in the wings
Despair stirs in the depths of the abyss
Fate shines ominously on fools(Despians)
Thus the curtains to this deadly drama are raised
Guardians of the Sacred Summit
The one who answers their prayers
A dragon clad in blades of ice and fire
Yet the theatrical farce will not cease
The jester of god laughs mockingly in the sky
The innocent saint shall be dyed in red
Thence, the dragon's cries will not reach her
Erupting flames, roaring thunder, Land of Iron
There lies the ring of champions
He stands strong for his friends
The thunder god's bell rings
Come on you lot, raise your voice
Go go, Sargas!
Put the pressure on, Sargas!
The flames, so delicately connected, swirled across the desolation
So fleeting, yet blazingly bright1
There it shall light up the shadows2
Scorching thunder, iron wings, awakened sword3
Will awaken4 the flames of the king
Then the young boy and girl shall meet
Thus, a path to the great land of the divine flame5 will open6*1 A lot of purposely-selected kanji in this last passage. The kanji they chose to use for 赫く (kagayaku) is the same kanji they use for "Blazing" in the TCG, e.g. "Brightest, Blazing, Branded King", "Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous" and associated with the Brand/Cartesia in card names such as "Granguignol the Dusk Dragon" and Branded in Red"
*2 "落陰" is the word here, cheekily pronounced "rakuin" (i.e. 烙印 "Branded")
*3 The latter is in reference to the Swordsoul
*4 The kanji they use for "喚び" (yobi) here is for, e.g. awakening someone from a slumber, and "熾す" (okosu) is to start/light a fire
*5 "真炎" (shin-en) is conveniently a homonym for 深淵, the abyss and also the kanji used in the OCG name for "Albion the Sanctifire Dragon"
*6 The kanji they use here "拓く" is used geographically, e.g. open/clearing a path to a certain place
Fuck me that last one killed my brain a little
Goddamn discord formatting
Who is that monster in the middle at the top o.0
Has anyone noticed before ?
TIME FOR A BIG ONE
Dogmatic Nation Dogmatika
Seated in the northern parts of the continent known as the Abyss was the glorious nation of the faithful that boasted an absolute leader. By the hand of the glorious apostle of god, Maximus, holy stigmas are carved into peoples' bodies, proof that they are children of god. These stigmas bestow miraculous favours upon those who bear them, and those with strong powers become a member of the Dogmatic Knight Order, bestowed with the honour of fighting to protect their land against those who reject the stigma and holy teachings.
Side episode: Age of the three saints
The reign of Maximus the apostle was long. In his nation, children were born, raised, and died, passing the love and faith in god from one generation to the next. One day, Maximus bestowed three divine relics to three Saints of the time. These relics were brought to this world by the godlike Dogmatika Nexus, becoming instruments of god that built and symolised the nation. The Sword, Shield and Armour - each of them possessed incredible miracle powers and could not be wielded by those possessing an insignificant stigma.
From then on, the Saint of the Sword presided over rituals, the Saint of the Shield over governance, and the Saint of the Armour commanded the military. These would become the dominant factions. These relics were passed from Saint to Saint like their faith and as their roles became synonymous with power and authority, disputes between these factions became more frequent.
Thus, generations after the initial establishment of these three Saints, the nation no longer waged holy wars with outside factions, but continued to see bloodshed and tragedies due to internal power struggles.
Side episode: Child of miracles
On the eve of fulfilling his great desire, Maximus turns his mind to the past. During the time of the Three Saints, things had been a little rushed. Saints were anointed one another after, and the blood that flowed from them were so steeped in curses it was, while magnificent, ultimately insipid.
And then faith began to weaken, which led to traitors like Mina springing up.
The stigma could hardly become brands in those circumstances.
What foolishness.
I've been too focussed on quantity.
Such things must take time.
Slowly, carefully, one by one. Gently swathe them in red, sing them lullabies, ensure they are bathed in happiness, then send them out onto a stage of despair.
I must be the playwright.
I must be the director.
I will paint each of my children in a blazing light.
-Dogmatikalamity-
Now, the curtain rises on a new, wicked drama.
Child of miracles, Ecclesia. I have saved the best for last.
Be excited for your fleeting adventure, you will laugh, you will cry, lose your temper, and become a strong child.
That's when I will come fetch you.
Of course, along with your sister, Fleurdelis.
Oh I see so that whole adventure was her high before plunging her to despair

Oooh i recognise the style
It's the same Artist as for the Charmers right?
DEEPEST LORE
The portal now just grabs you with their demonic hand lmao
Is it like Nekroz where their ages fluctuate using certain armor and weapons?
Nope
Hmm I havent been following their lore since White Wood myself
● After ellzet eats the apple. The curse takes over her and turns her evil.
● Morrian comes from nowhere to "save the day" she manages to beat the curse out of her, but ends up dying.
Her "body" gets taking over by the azamina curse, tuning her into Moa Regina.
● Elzette is now feeling regret for what she did, and we see her trying to find away to fix it.
● Moa Regina attacked Diabell... in the past which made her split her power between the 2 girls.
● In the current events Elzette (as Diabellze) is about to face Moa Regina (with poplar)
@lean surge
Oh and diabellestar thought everyone in the forest was dead and left
so diabell and regina are two separate beings
hmm
OH SHIT
- so eating the apple transferred? diabell's power to the kiddos (sinful spoils of the white forest; the kids look similar, we can see diabell crying green and purple tears, the background is burning up signaling the end of that story)
- elz got thistled but aste didn't (what's up with that?)
- presumably elz is the one who thistled rcia and silvy, this is fucked up
- aste manages to grab the silvera and rciela spoils and leaves
- morrigan shows up an unknown amount of time later (elz looks noticeably older) and unthistles elz but gets thistled herself into moaregina + morrian
- elz does not seem to like what she did
so elz going to face regina in Determination/Hamartia is probably her trying to unthistle morrigan so that morrigan can free rcia and silvy
- we still don't have an explanation for
erysichthon orsnake-eye; even if elz was the one creating spoils i'd imagine everything to be relevant or expanded upon (also why is snake-eye the "original sinful spoil"?) - what is the azamina? why does diabell just not show up at all?
- how did aste not get thistled?
- why does morrian not have a self?
- where did morrigan come from lmao
i kinda fuck with the concept of Diabell being a title passed down through the apple/thistle/whatever

I like concept of legacy character
That's how you reintroduce same character every few years
which means ensuring Diabellstar support down in the future
ok yeah elz creating all the spoils and azamina we have works
she's the illusion half of all of them and does fusion summons
so morrigan will be a lv6+ fiend
oh we have vbex4 translated
shit
...Demons
They were the very definition of the calamities of this world
An inescapable absurdity
They deceived humans in all sorts of ways, and by extracting and disposing of their souls
They turned them into living puppets
The abandoned souls, having no place to go, had their engraved sins judged by the laws of this world. And this was how the "Sinful Spoils", cursed items that brought about all sorts of calamities, were born.
yep confirmation that getting thistled results in an azamina and a spoil
also diabell is a literal demon? ok
"Goblin's Crazy Beast"
Apparently it had swallowed the "Sinful Spoil Aethon", which Gabonga obtained at the end of his great adventure...
what the fuck alright then that's erysich accounted for
so was elz responsible for snake-eye or was that some other demon
oh and also another question
why did ilia and murcielago show up now of all times
were they following elz around? if they're connected to the demon then maybe it's been trying to get her back ever since morrigan freed her
...which would make Hamartia a really good name if she's trying to unthistle morrigan goddamn
ok yeah this has potential if they don't fumble the demon side of the lore
the kids fuck around and find out
I'm gonna wait for the VBEX.
The hand grapping diabell lookw in the same style as "Morrian Claw"/"Moa Reginia" Claws
So i think that takes place right after Morrian was killed and turned to Moa Regina
regina doesn't even have claws
She does, her "head and neck" make the shape of a hand.
@devout hearth yeh but Morrian's Signature thingy is her Claw
I mean it might as well be stylized.
It's just a shadow play after all
Not real flashbacks
damn they really had to get that SAMPLE right over the thing in the background
even if it were morrigan's claw, i don't think that really makes sense
like elzette gets possessed or whatever and astellar runs away
then, after elzette has visibly aged, morrigan shows up and de-thistles her, and diabell then distributes its power to aste and elz? it just doesn't read right
ah shit here we go again
Yooooo
so we actually got the demon
so then what's the fucked up dragon thing with elzamina?
queen's wings look similar to regina but i don't think they're quite the same, plus regina only had 2 and queen has 4
we still don't have a fiend to make regina or erysich
so this is probably right now that queen's showed up
it wants something to do with elz
looks like poplar ate morrian and then probably some of elz' magic too given the color scheme
since popler's still morrian'd asleep in Unleashing, i think damned was either planned as a Just In Case or queen did something so that elz no longer has control over morrian (but again given damned's color scheme and the lack of indication that saint absorbed elz i think it's probably the former)
Shiroki Mori no Youma Diaberu / Diabell, Apparition of the White Forest
Azamina no Youma / Apparition of the Azamina
and same stats inverted attribute etc etc
so diabell was probably just a disguise
OH
maybe they weren't following elz
maybe they were tracking their spoil
because we see erysichthon attacking the goblin bikers, who had spoil aethon
but then that again brings up "why didn't they show up before"
as well as "why is regina just sitting there waiting for elz"
- diabell (azamina demon) lives in the white forest
- elzette and astellar decide to go looking for it
- they find it and eat the apple
- diabell gives power to the kids
- elzette gets possessed and becomes an azamina
- elzette thistles silvy and rucia, astellar manages to grab their spoils and escape
an undisclosed amount of time later - morrigan shows up and unthistles elzette, but gets thistled in the process
- elzette presumably remembers everything she did while thistled and doesn't like it
- meanwhile astellar is living life
another undisclosed amount of time later but this one includes The Story So Far with snake-eye - diabellze steals poplar and goes to confront moa regina
- ilia silvera and murcielago show up and diabellstar fights them
- queen appears and captures diabellze
- poplar wakes up and transforms into damned
so
- what's the fucked up dragon fish thing hanging around with azamina elzette?
- how did astellar not get thistled?
- where did morrigan come from lmao
- why does morrian not have a self?
- where did snake-eye come from and why is it the original sinful spoil?
- what are the azamina actually doing? what's the end goal?
I think ppl are misinterpreting what "Play the Diabell" and "Like the Diabell" are meant to mean in context of the story honestly
By just dismissing them as a meta joke.
● Like in the case of "Play the Diabell" it's more of "Do what the Diabell Does" (e.g. Elzette being puppeteered by the Azamina curse, like some sort of possessed marionette in a puppet show).
● as for "Like the Diabell", it's from the perspective of Astellar. "Be Like Diabell" "You can Do it Just Like Diabell" type thing.
I wonder at what point in the timeline Gem-Knight Nepyrim is
I hope we get a Sombre/Kerykeion fusion sometime
Post-afterlife would make the most sense
But it should've been called Mokshadoll
Also, knowing the lore lately it'll probably be between Construct & Shekhinaga
Nah
It seems to be after this
See the string wings
But she has the orb of creation
All of the shadolls inside a tube gained new powers after breaking free
How does that relate to Sophia's orb of creation
Who tf knows. But some got her wings. So it's the same logic.
yeah that checks out
fuck metaltron all my homies hate metaltron
Since Nekroz can only cosplay the dead mons.
Nekroz of Subzero Trish is kinda wack, because Subzero is just a powerup, so this presumably happened offscreen before Shurit lost the powers.
While Nekroz of Metaltron happens way after because of no reason?
they'll probably pull a "metaltron was The Original Zefra"
and she puts on the metaltron suit to help fight tierra
idk metaltron still sucks
Metaltron has to be post Tierra, right.
zero trish makes devyaty mugging shurit a lot funnier
how does it keep getting better
Like it's prob whatever happened in the 1000 day battle, after Zefraath and Tierra go missing, the pilots are still alive as we see on the farewell card, tho "alive" since y'know walking towards the light. Presumably whatever is left of Zefraath (and maybe Tierra) creates Metaltron.
Tho, one thing of note is Nekroz of Metaltron has Sophia horns from Nekroz of Sophia.
Maybe, Metaltron is related to Sophia's creation powers, which it kinda already was but like it never had the horns/orbs before.
I think. Let me check.
a[zefra metaltron]
Ye, no creation orb. Just the Pyroxenes.
doesn't work
we see metaltron's residual aura or whatever you want to call it in the background of metaltronus which is where reirautari is "created" and that's at some point before ptole is created
Oh ye, I forgot we got another Metaltron callback recently.
It's so weird they keep doing this, after they shadow dropped Metaltron randomly years ago.
Now, it's like 17 hamfisted ways to connect it back to the LORE and going well this deffo happened guys, trust.
Verry funny tho, that we had 10 elements of the Sephiroth but 11 Pyroxenes, so they were like uh... stick one on the staff.
Good enough.
Wait.
I just noticed the staff of the Nekroz has the orb of creation on it instead.
the Original Zefra thing kinda works, i think
bc it has all the pyroxenes and a bunch of the weapons/armor you see on the new™️ zefras
so just say it was the first instance of the zefra system and then was split up afterwards
More thematic for sure, but like, so what happened to the Pyroxene, then?
shrug
they were part of unlocking the tree so you can shoehorn something in
man how did some random tribe end up with the set of keys to creation why did they decide to do that
Wait, I checked pedia. Apparently, the 11 Pyroxene are on its body. The thing on the staff is just random green orb.

incredible
This is the only one like this. Since everywhere else they don't include the 11th Sefiroth.
They reflect the positions of the 10 sefirots, including the position of the 11th sefirot Da'at.
This is thus the only card in the Duel Terminal lore to feature the 11th Pyroxene representing the Da'at in its art; the silver-colored orb located in the center of its chestplate.```
There is a second staff but it is being obscured by the Yugioh logo.
Can't even fully analyze this until the reveals drop.

Gotta say tho, Nekroz of Subzero Trish looks so sick.
Esp, him fitting on the main Trish head like Ichigo's hollow mask to the side, inside of dumb hat like the original.
Likely the orb of destruction.
After all, it's not regular Emilia. It's Nekroz of Sophia in Metaltron Armor.
This is easy
watch this
Nekroz of Sophia uses her power to create Zefra Metaltron as the admin account
then fucks off
Can't believe Mimikyu was a Springan all along.
So it really was just a tiny black Blob
I don't think that's really it
As much as it's a like "this is the shape under the clothes"
i remember when i first saw mimikyu i was sure that it was gonna have an evolved form that was it without the costume
to represent it becoming more confident in itself
Mega Mimikyu
Watch them do it.
Mimikyu Snom owo
He has gotta the Dragoon fit and is an omni negate.

On a side note, doesn't his wings remind you of Qlis?
Tower legs
There are actual feet at the end, the angle in the art just makes them difficult on impossible to see
he got them pointy shoes
I can see it
He's also got the ever-present Ally of Justice gold bits
Is she want to revive Gem Knight to old glory, hence she visioned Master Diamond? Because in what timeline Master Diamond and Lapis ever met?
Dude already husk by the time she was around, and for the entire DT3 story, they were never in this form
I mean Lapis is one of those "I swear she existed in DT2, we just never saw her"
Hmm that perhaps the case
You know what, fair.
Fusion power is stored in the balls gems
I mean not even perhaps the entire point is that she's already dead come duelist alliance lore
◆ Premium Pack 2025 ◆
Wew, its getting a little hot in here
#yugioh #遊戯王OCG https://t.co/5Kach224GX
Raws for new manga are out somewhere
Fuck it's that time already yeah I'll look later
Who dis
Man I wish we could just get a fusion of these two already
What are these Orange balls around him btw?
The Child of Codetalker and AI
IIRC they're from the evilswarm-infected ice barrier dragons
Heck, they could replace Sombre with Nepyrim
Where does Nepyrim come in the timeline & why isn't she called Mokshaddoll
Either directly before she becomes Construct or some time after Sombre rejoins the battle against Tierra. She basically copied Sombre's creation orb
Is Knightmare Apprentice part of the Dark Magician lore? I know it's like a remake of Illusion Apprentice Magician, so is it connected with the Dark Magicians?
Also, does the four types of magic in the early forms of yugioh, illusion magic, demonic magic, light magic and dark magic somehow play into the Dark Magician lore? There are illusion monsters based on illusion magic, and there are also dark magic and light magic monsters.
Also, are the Magistus or Endymion part of the Dark Magician world? I know Buster Blader is in the Dark Magician world, but what other archetypes exist and are connected with Dark Magician Lore?
It's simply
We don't know
Unless Dark magician or a related monster shows up in the magistus manga assume it's all just references and coincidences
Has nothing to do with dark magician. Her and Nightmare magician are just illusion variants but also siblings
It's the same logic of Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl.
Or Cyberse Magician and Cyberse Witch
As far as Endymion and Dark Magician go. Totally different continuity
Y'know
Since the origin of Lapis Lazuli word is Persian for gem, Lazuardi.
Am thinking if either Lapis or Lazuli ever tap the origin of gem-Knight power, and become its guardian, they better be called Lazuardian

I am going to name my children Lazuli and Construct
Nepyrim is such a good name I wish localization used that instead of construct
When I heard construct, I imagine huge building, that combined with original art perspective, and anything construct fusion with something far bigger than herself made me thing that she's bigger than she actually is
Construct is building sized?
Gotta be at least 25m
I depicted her as entire miles in height for the fanfic I put her in.
The reason being that the threads are going behind the mountains in the background.
It's hard to tell if Construct herself is behind them, too, but the length that the threads are drawn makes me think she is.
And that did mean Towers had to be described to match in the sequel, when it came time.
Yeah I still can't figure out her actual size
Some shot she feels hella big, but at same time, she fit on Noid tube?
but what if the noid tube was even bigger
The noid tube one is definitely a smaller version
Since you know, thd tubes kinda turn off magical power and rest the target.
After all Ariel is not Apkalone inside the tube.
We already know the size of a noid tube.
It's big but not that big.
So the Noids took her power that it shrunk her down to a manageable size?
I was under the impression Noid Tube Construct was before she was fully formed
Since there's no place in the timeline for her to be captured while the Noids are active
Like Lapis got caught by the Noid tube which prevented her from reincarnating properly
Would be weird if Infernoid Sjette of all things got credited with two major Shaddoll kills
More or less that's it works. Ths tubes neutralize the target to their base from (or very close to it)
Also note that she gains her "youthful appearance"
Also has a core
There are alot of details basically
Then this
It's kinda a mess honestly to know where these fit
Cuz Batlamyus/Tube Construct fuck the timeline
Batalamyus fits very neatly into the timeline wdym?
