Also, “Until Noble Arms are Needed Once Again” is a reference to the ending of Arthur’s tale, in that, after being taken to Avalon, Arthur was healed, and there waits until Britain’s hour of need, when he will then return.
Yeaaahhh considering that he didn't show up both times Germany decided to be a bad girl, I doubt he'll return. Ever. Until all nations dissappear AND WE ALL JOIN TOGETHER AS THE GLORIOUS IMPERIUM OF MAN.
Britons after a whole year of Brexit: "Our king, please hear our pleas and come back immediately!!!" Arthur: lol, as if. I didn't come back when Germany declared war... twice, why would I come back now. You don't like Britain right now? Make it great again.
There were actually quite a few knights that survived the fall of Camelot. Also Excalibur is not the sword in the stone. Which everyone seems to get wrong. The sword in the stone is just a regular sword enchanted by Merlin, arthur doesnt get excalibur until he breaks his original in battle and Merlin takes him to the lady of the lake. Another thing no one mentions is that excalibur's scabbard was actually Arthur's most powerful item, as on the battle field as long as he has it he will never bleed. So it essentially made him unkillable (until morgana steals it and throws it in some random lake never to be seen again.)
Also lancelot comes back for the final battle of Camelot after Gawain Pens him a letter on his death bed asking lancelot to come back and fight for his king to regain his honor. I cant remember how he died though... 🤔
@@alexanderlowery1471Except Caliburn and Excalibur are the same sword. Both names are derived from the Welsh name Caledfwlch - which itself may borrow from a similarly named Irish sword Caladbog. The name Excalibur is English likely by way of common Britionic and Caliburn (Caliburnus) is a Latinization of the original Welsh name. Arthurian legend comes from multiple sources and traditions - it's sort of like how God creates man and women twice in Genesis - so there a multiple conflicting, even mutually exclusive, stories about how things happened depending on the author, the author's nationality - Welsh vs. English vs French - and the time period 800s to 1500s.
Fun fact: the name "Arthur" means "Bear" in old English, which is why he is represented with bear skin on his armour, and could be a pun of the fact that he was the Bearer of Excalibur. It's also my name, I always liked this archetype
I stopped playing the tcg a decade ago but kept playing some of the video games. I actually bought 3 knights of the round table when it came out just because I really like the lore of Arthur. Also gave it a go in a local shop and quickly lost interest in the tcg again, couldn't do much with noble knights at the time :D
If they weren't in Master Duel i wouldn't even be playing right now. I hope they get an official story at level of the World Legacy, they deserve that honor.
A thought occurred to me-Noble Arms Clarent is based off the sword Mordred used. I think that’s primarily why they gave it a direct attacking effect-it lets the equipped monster deal the finishing blow like he did to Arthur.
Very possible, though there’s also the ‘Fairy Tail’ Furry Spellcaster between that and this. Also, Sherry LeBlanc from 5Ds is associated with Noble Knight Joan and the monsters similar to it, Noble Knight’s Spearholder, Noble Knight’s Shield-Bearer, and the cards associated wirh Spearholder being ‘Horse of the Floral Knights’ and Centaur Mina. Not saying an older Leon can’t also use this deck, but we do indeed have a character with solid ties
Eh, Leo is from Germany. His fairy tale deck is based on German fairy tales. Noble Knights are british archetype. And Infernoble Knights are a French archetype.
Since it wasn’t mentioned, Tristan and Isolde also have zombie variants, who’s effects work with each other Also, I’d go with Excaliburn. Because along with the sword, there was supposed to be a sheath. Those two, when together, make you immortal. Arthur died because his sheath had been either lost or stolen, can’t remember which
@@kishinasura1504 that they do indeed. I have them both in my zombie deck currently. If I recall right, since I don’t have the deck next to me, Tristan gets power when isolde is out, and I think she gets special summoned when he is out. Something along those lines, I’ll grab the deck later to check
@@HedgieDaUmbrehog i remember those they're in Duel links I'm 99% sure Tristan takes Isolde out of the grave into your hand and Isolde can special summon itself if Tristan is out and can increase their levels by 1 (that goes for all zombies but you're supposed to do it with those two)
I mean the only difference between lost and stolen is that, if it's stolen, someone made you lose it, whereas if it's just lost then it's probably under the seat of your car
Actually the enchantress is really Morgana half sister to Merlin. According to legend she was a trusted adviser to Arthur. Merlin knew of their shared blood though which side is kinda vague as the story isn’t complete. Anyway Merlin believed her evil as she was more of an action type person not one to talk on subjects which he was. Merlin in anger dueled her to the death which he won though not without crippling himself in the fight (fairly common though Morgana hit Merlin’s leg severing the nerves leaving him unable to walk without his staff). She wasn’t at Arthur’s death as Morgana was technically dead at this time. It’s one of the tellings as there are many but it’s one of the originals.
@@markmagician2471 in later works Morgana was Arthur sister, earlier works she was Merlins half sister depending on exact edition or what year, but she was a magician or healer in those. Remember most of what we know as Arthurian legend is from early word of mouth not writings. So a few things might have changed over time.
I disagree. In a vacuum it's a very good action/adventure flick with some really cool fantasy sword fights. However if you compare it directly to the source materials they simply took the names of the most popular characters from the mythos and put them in there because making a new IP is too risky. Not to mention the whole movie desperately tries to set up it's own universe so most of the plot threads never get resolved. Its visually interesting and action is really cool looking but beyond that it didnt have much going for it. That's not to say I wasnt slightly dissapointed all the sequels were cancelled because I wouldve loved to see lancelot kick some ass.
@@travissmith9894 When you compare any version of the Autherian lore to the original, you find that the original is just as varied as every other version. Lol.

And Daniel Pemberton's score is phenomenal, especially given that it was his first major film. I can't think of any plot points that were relevant to the film that weren't resolved tho. What were some?
@@EmrysMerlin8807 True I get that. What kind of annoys me about most arthurian media is that it's always trying to 'modernize' the formula, even though the last accurate arthurian film was probably Excalibur from the 80s, and watching it today can be tough as it is very low budget (VERY low lol.). I personally just want to see someone translate the stories as accurately as possible to the screen because no one has really tried doing that especially not with a big budget behind it. The stories of lancelot and gawain alone are interesting enough for their own films.

Aaah yes my first archtype I used when getting back into Yugioh, great video sam! This deck is definitely obe that's close to my heart, plus the card artworks of the noble knights and noble arms are easily some of the most beautiful, also fun fact, the knights use their welsh names in the TCG
Fun fact: The trap card at the end is the horn in the Song of Roland...which is the down fall of Sir Roland. I would want to wield Joyuese. Reason being in the Song of Roland it states "...by his side hung Joyuese, and never was there a sword to match it; its color changed 30 times a day." I would absolutely love to try a figure out what the chemical makeup of that sword was.
Iyvanne's token summoning effect could also be a reference for him having a lion ally, and this lion will only follow if his master wields a noble blade.
Unfortunately it was always too little to late so they never made it beyond rogue status. (excluding Infernobles of course) At least now they got their moment to shine in duel links.
This was one of my first ever fully completed decks, from the box set. I loved this deck and archetype, and I still do. It's probably one of the main reasons I love the legends of the middle ages. It's just so goddamn cool! I also got from a pack, a Red Dragon Archfiend and added it to my Noble Knight deck, but it was never meant to be. I dropped and lost it in middle school and never saw it again. I have no choice but to continue that deck's legacy in the virtual world.... I still miss that deck to this day. Besides Heroes, the Noble Knights are my favorite archetype...... But are funnily enough, severely annoying to go against if you don't have a decent negation deck or something.
I would wield Infernoble Arms - Joyeuse, even through in the game it has one of the "weakest" effects, compared to other Noble Arms, I like its design and also it is Charlemagne's "Excalibur" and its name is literally means "joyous". Also in myth, Joyeuse was forged to contain the Lance of Longinus within its pommel, had the same durability as Durendal and changed colors thirty times a day.
29:03 Actually something really fun, joyeuse means in fact joyous but it's not meant as happiness, its name was given to it because a legend says that when Charle magne used it to fight the sword itself would make a bright and beautiful sound, as if it was singing, joyously. Definitely the one I would wield.
Gallatin. huge fan of Arthurian Legend, not my only reason for the love of these cards, I had been a huge fan of rescue rabbit and seeing Arthur and the one XYZ that could double its attack up to 4000 I started making a Noble Rabbits deck and as more support rolled out it became pure noble arms, so it was both the love of the legends and an established rock I evolved over time xD But yeah, I’d take Gallatin as the tale of the green knight is one of my favorites
This is the best archetype video I’ve seen from you so far. Listening to you recount the Tales of King Arthur Pendragon was very fun. You could be a real good story teller, just a thought.
I really liked the Noble knights cause I love the story of King Arthur and the knights of the round, side note morgana is the enchantress, half sister to Arthur’s advisor and best friend Merlin. And I’d also like to point out the original lion sin, a man who was considered the be one of the strongest people in Arthur’s time, was a man who aided King Arthur in his battle for England and one of the few people to survive battling Gawain as well as Gawains rival, going so far as to disrespect him to pick a fight and prove his strength again.
About your question at the end, I would also wield the caliburn because if I could wield it, then I can become a king. Also it is also the sword that King Arthur pulled so that’s why I like it.
Technically, Mordred is the son of Arthur and his half-sister in most version instead of his cousin, due to some magical bullshit in one of the 'side' stories.
If I would wield one of the Noble Arms, it would be Excaliburn because of the artwork shown that Excaliburn has 2 colors which is red and blue and it suits me because red is my favorite color and it's a sign of power and love and blue is a sign of calm, gentle, fast, swift, and peace
I love my noble knights. I think I would want the noble arms of destiny for it's protective abilities. On a side note Celestial sword Eatos is also treated as a noble arm. On another note who else wants a fusion noble knights? Maybe based on Sir Kay, the green knight, Uther, or even Morgan Lefey?
This deck reminds me of my embarrassing time, when I, was being a weeb myself, delivered a final direct attack with artorigus equipped it with Excalibur, but whether my tongue twisted, I said "excabulir" instead... Man, what a day back then!
Arthur didn't have mordred with his cousin. It was his sister. Same mother different father. Morgan is based on Morgana le Fey, which is the enchantress sister of King Arthur and mother of Medraut.
Also fun fact about the marvel comics character hellboy he is able to pull the sword from the stone when he did he had a crown of fire appeared above his head that was the second time that happened to the first time was in a vision of the destruction he would have brought along with him but this grimm future never came because he chose to be the world's savior and not it's destroyer
Oh my god, I am glad I am not a Welsh I can't even imagine how triggered I would be after god knows how many times Arthurian legends called ''English'' instead of Welsh. Dude, his whole legend is based on how he defended his lands against the ''English''.
It isn't necessarily Welsh since the main part of it being Welsh is merlin, who was a prophet in welsh legends. The knights of the round was created soon later with the focus upon giving Britain history cause the first info of the legend was in a fragmented poem that discuss Mordred and Arthur in battle and falling down a hill or a ravine with no context. I do see your point of view but in reality Arthur is a melting pot in everything from Britain to Ireland and everything in between (and France for... Reasons), honestly I say its perfect this way cause everyone countries have some purpose in it, except the Saxons, because no one likes the Saxons
I would love for these Archetype to get a other counterpart,maybe something like Winoble Knights based on the Roundtables and Paladins Counterparts known as the Ammelungs who included famous knights such as Siegfried the Dragonslayer,Dietrich von Bern and Hama Win in Winoble knight would stand for both Wind and Victory as all of their Archetype would be Wind types.
Dude I tried to make a deck with this archetype and its a real pain trying to fit them all in and still keep an acceptable margin of synergy. Seriously, its just like what's happening with performapals.
Just a minor nitpick, but Lancelot’s mother wasn’t the same lady of the lake who gave the sword to Arthur. Magical ladies of the lake were like a trope back then, even more appear during the other Arthurian stories. Lancelot was also French, or at least grew up in France, so it could not have been the same lady.
I been playing this archetype for 7 years, it makes me sad how much the new infernoble knights just overshadows my boys. Actually in one shop I heard someone actually say "They gave Isult a archetype finally!" and it made me want to cry
@@Lucias17 oh yes I did that. and let me just say that it really gets me POed when the new cards always say FIRE WARRIOR Its like they are ashamed of being noble knights!!! I strongly believe they were suppose to be a flame swordsman deck but made it Noble Knights just to get its support. Also no one uses Morgan and it makes me cry ;~;
Don't forget noble knight's spear holder, noble knight's shield-bearer, horse of the floral knight's, centaur Mina (a fusion monster requiring noble knight's spear holder and horse of the floral knight's), and celestial sword - Eatos (as it says it's always treated as a noble arms card) which technically makes Guardian Eatos and Guardian dreadscythe apart of the architype as well. Though they and celtic guard of noble arms don't really have anything to do with the noble knights beside a few have noble knight or noble arms in their names/how they're treated, I suppose.
You forgot Celestial Sword Eatos, while not in name, it is counted as a Noble Arm. And I would wield Caliburn or Destiny. This is my favorite archetype in Yu-Gi-Oh, also had some of my best wins using this deck.
I would really like some new "sub-archetypes" (to me, it's okay if they don't have in common effects with all the others but still share similarities in artwork/names) based on some other country with legends of knights, but i don't know which it should be
I kinda want a mordred fusion monsters. Like you can contact fuse a level five dark monster and a noble arms equip spell. We’ve got every other extra deck type except fusion
Don't know if you can consider Gawain's decision to side with his sworn king as turning his back on Lancelot, especially as at that point, he had just slain at least one of Gawain's brothers.
I made an argument A couple weeks ago about how the Paladinss of Charlemagne are nothing in comparison to the Knights of the Round Table as far as the Fate and Type Moon Universe goes
There is one thing the Knights of Charlemagne beat the knights of the round, which is how goofy they are in the fate verse. I'm not even joking, if you played Fate Extella 2 you would see how much of a goofball that group really is.
@@madambutterfly1997 well there's also the thing that the Charlemagne's Paladin is real and like a big inspiration for arthurian legend, tbf the paladins these days are mostly based on the song of roland which is a story written from Charlemagne's Daydreaming so its also kinda fictional stuff but not the level of arthurian legend stuff. For example while Excalibur is a sword with magic, healing, ultimate power, all that stuff and in fate the sword itself have the power to wreck/save the world, Joyeuse the thing Excalibur based on is just a normal sword Charlemagne use, and it got the beamy power in extella mostly because heroic spirit and throne weird shtick
I do not need any of those sword for I already have one. A sword that was bestowed to me by my father. A sword that I have trusted from the day I was given and when the dawn came, I raise it to the sky to honor my ancestor.
I'm a huge Arthurian legend nerd, so I jumped to get this deck as soon as I saw the first few cards on Duel Links. Still hoping that they give Lancelot his redemption card, or even a dark form of Mordred
Wonder if we'll get noble knights for the other three attributes in the future, there's probably other knights out there that can be used for water, wind, and earth
You know if they added cards to the archetype that reference the DC characters Etrigan and/or Jason Blood I would simultaneously marvel at how Konami managed to convince Warner to let them and laugh as most Yugioh fans would not know who the hell they are, nor the fact that they're related to the Arthur Mythos in the DC universe, because yes that actually happened in the comics. (As Etrigan was a demon that Merlin summoned to help protect Camelot while Jason Blood was a knight who betrayed Arthur to get down and dirty with Morgan and got cursed with immortality and turn into Etrigan with a specific rhyme.)
I feel like it would be cool if we got an archetype referencing Fate. It could have a whole gimmick of you needing a Master on the field to summon a Servant. Could even have cards that represented Archers or Assassins remain on the field even if no Master card is on the fields to represent their Independent Action skill.
Just checked my playlist "archetype trivia", and yep the og Noble Knight video was made private. Shame too, cause that one had the Knight of Loyalty Bedivere from Cardfight Vanguard (as an explanation of one of the noble knights) in it
@@TGSAnime the music's fun, i'm having a good time :). Also, you never answered my question: if i were to write a script for the Black Luster Soldier archetype, would you cover it in a future video?
Also, “Until Noble Arms are Needed Once Again” is a reference to the ending of Arthur’s tale, in that, after being taken to Avalon, Arthur was healed, and there waits until Britain’s hour of need, when he will then return.
@Martin Toledo fate stay night?
Britain could really use a second coming of Arthur.
Yeaaahhh considering that he didn't show up both times Germany decided to be a bad girl, I doubt he'll return. Ever. Until all nations dissappear AND WE ALL JOIN TOGETHER AS THE GLORIOUS IMPERIUM OF MAN.
Britain needs him right now.
Britons after a whole year of Brexit:
"Our king, please hear our pleas and come back immediately!!!"

Reason being in the Song of Roland it states "...by his side hung Joyuese, and never was there a sword to match it; its color changed 30 times a day."
I would absolutely love to try a figure out what the chemical makeup of that sword was.
Obviously it had a bismuth finish. Rainbow as fuck.
The knights are definitely noble to one another and King Arthur.
Except Mordred and Agravain
@@AlexaRobin21 I know
Iyvanne's token summoning effect could also be a reference for him having a lion ally, and this lion will only follow if his master wields a noble blade.
You can feel that sadness in the spell cards man. Truly amazing artwork there.
Even in another franchise, Astolfo still looks like a girl.
Didnt know alstolfo was related to king arthur lol
I was looking for this comment
Well, the original also was known for being very beautiful and to enchant men and women alike.
Felis😺?
@@BILOUUU59 Also has a huge penis and slept with nearly all the wives of the land to understand cheating with his bro after his wife? cheated on him.
Wow!!! From one knight card to an entire army of a deck with each booster pack, box, tin and ect.
That’s what call real reinforcements / boost...
Unfortunately it was always too little to late so they never made it beyond rogue status. (excluding Infernobles of course) At least now they got their moment to shine in duel links.
Reinforcements of the army...
@@TrueCyprien until Konami killed the skill to make them consistent
This was one of my first ever fully completed decks, from the box set. I loved this deck and archetype, and I still do. It's probably one of the main reasons I love the legends of the middle ages. It's just so goddamn cool! I also got from a pack, a Red Dragon Archfiend and added it to my Noble Knight deck, but it was never meant to be. I dropped and lost it in middle school and never saw it again. I have no choice but to continue that deck's legacy in the virtual world.... I still miss that deck to this day. Besides Heroes, the Noble Knights are my favorite archetype...... But are funnily enough, severely annoying to go against if you don't have a decent negation deck or something.
I think you missed one noble arm... A celtic guardian
I appreciate this comment.
2, for some reason, Celestial Sword of Eatos is treated as a Noble Arms.
@@walterlopez5054 You're totally right.
Eatos is a noble arm because how it's written in japanese
@@walterlopez5054 yh but there’s literally no reason to use it lol just a rip off version of caliburn
I would wield Infernoble Arms - Joyeuse, even through in the game it has one of the "weakest" effects, compared to other Noble Arms, I like its design and also it is Charlemagne's "Excalibur" and its name is literally means "joyous". Also in myth, Joyeuse was forged to contain the Lance of Longinus within its pommel, had the same durability as Durendal and changed colors thirty times a day.
So it had RGB? Damn Charlemagne was the original gamer
**Starts building a Noble Knight deck half way through the video**
Damn, for the 5:13 Merlin bit you coughed to UNclear your throat. Respect
Thank you for giving me a reason to absolutely love a deck I already favored amongst other fancier or even more powerful decks
Duel Links: Oh hey I see that everywhere.
13:03 I don't know why I always thought he was holding that sword behind his back...
Its just the angle its in
wait its not like that?
I can’t unsee it now...
Those artworks of this archetype and mechanics are literally brilliant, and the thing I actually love Yu-Gi-Oh! as TCG.
29:03 Actually something really fun, joyeuse means in fact joyous but it's not meant as happiness, its name was given to it because a legend says that when Charle magne used it to fight the sword itself would make a bright and beautiful sound, as if it was singing, joyously. Definitely the one I would wield.
Flaming knights?
Oh my, they’re getting dangerous.
It would explain their massive swords.
this comment made me laugh than what I expected
Is that a monster can reference?
I keep saying Konami needs to make an anime based on the lore of these cards
Love this video. Really good to see Noble Knights get more videos made on them
Gallatin. huge fan of Arthurian Legend, not my only reason for the love of these cards, I had been a huge fan of rescue rabbit and seeing Arthur and the one XYZ that could double its attack up to 4000 I started making a Noble Rabbits deck and as more support rolled out it became pure noble arms, so it was both the love of the legends and an established rock I evolved over time xD
But yeah, I’d take Gallatin as the tale of the green knight is one of my favorites
What’s a more Nobel than a Knight, How about a deck of knights?
This is the best archetype video I’ve seen from you so far. Listening to you recount the Tales of King Arthur Pendragon was very fun. You could be a real good story teller, just a thought.
Just has to work on his pronunciation...
I would take "Noble Arms - Clarent". I REALLY like the Design.
Noble arms of Destiny. Because they shield their wielder from destruction/death one per turn.
Can’t stand the amount of noble knights decks I get in duellinks everyday
ohhh be ready to face Galaxy eyes it's gonna be worse
I like the archetype lol
At least it's not Shiranui and Crystron
Can't wait for t.g. this late feb :3
Galaxy eyes , Blue Eyes , Noble knights , Dark Magician and Aroma . But at least Noble knights are fun to learn the history of .
OCG: Sir, how would you like to name the Magician guy?
TCG: I dont know man. I'm tired adding BS on their name at this point...
😅
I really liked the Noble knights cause I love the story of King Arthur and the knights of the round, side note morgana is the enchantress, half sister to Arthur’s advisor and best friend Merlin. And I’d also like to point out the original lion sin, a man who was considered the be one of the strongest people in Arthur’s time, was a man who aided King Arthur in his battle for England and one of the few people to survive battling Gawain as well as Gawains rival, going so far as to disrespect him to pick a fight and prove his strength again.
I always love these cards artwork especially Gwenavier the lady of the lake isolde and Morgan
About your question at the end, I would also wield the caliburn because if I could wield it, then I can become a king. Also it is also the sword that King Arthur pulled so that’s why I like it.
4:35 French lore* He was originaly from Britain and then shifted to go to "Great britain" which is the UK
Technically, Mordred is the son of Arthur and his half-sister in most version instead of his cousin, due to some magical bullshit in one of the 'side' stories.
If I would wield one of the Noble Arms, it would be Excaliburn because of the artwork shown that Excaliburn has 2 colors which is red and blue and it suits me because red is my favorite color and it's a sign of power and love and blue is a sign of calm, gentle, fast, swift, and peace
I love my noble knights. I think I would want the noble arms of destiny for it's protective abilities. On a side note Celestial sword Eatos is also treated as a noble arm. On another note who else wants a fusion noble knights? Maybe based on Sir Kay, the green knight, Uther, or even Morgan Lefey?
Can u play infernoble knight in master duel I love your video and can't wait for part 2 when the rest of the infernoble knight come out all 12
I have been waiting for this for a long time. Thanks 👍
Rebellion against my beautiful father, Clarent Blood Arthur!
This deck reminds me of my embarrassing time, when I, was being a weeb myself, delivered a final direct attack with artorigus equipped it with Excalibur, but whether my tongue twisted, I said "excabulir" instead...
Man, what a day back then!
Arthur didn't have mordred with his cousin. It was his sister. Same mother different father. Morgan is based on Morgana le Fey, which is the enchantress sister of King Arthur and mother of Medraut.
23:39 Roland. The French hyper-chad.
Also fun fact about the marvel comics character hellboy he is able to pull the sword from the stone when he did he had a crown of fire appeared above his head that was the second time that happened to the first time was in a vision of the destruction he would have brought along with him but this grimm future never came because he chose to be the world's savior and not it's destroyer
Oh my god, I am glad I am not a Welsh
I can't even imagine how triggered I would be after god knows how many times Arthurian legends called ''English'' instead of Welsh. Dude, his whole legend is based on how he defended his lands against the ''English''.
People outside of the landmass get confused because of everything that’s in ‘The UK’ now
It isn't necessarily Welsh since the main part of it being Welsh is merlin, who was a prophet in welsh legends. The knights of the round was created soon later with the focus upon giving Britain history cause the first info of the legend was in a fragmented poem that discuss Mordred and Arthur in battle and falling down a hill or a ravine with no context. I do see your point of view but in reality Arthur is a melting pot in everything from Britain to Ireland and everything in between (and France for... Reasons), honestly I say its perfect this way cause everyone countries have some purpose in it, except the Saxons, because no one likes the Saxons
Its a myth everybody adopted it. Its like how every countries royalty claimed to be a descendant of the romans.
@@OsirusHandle Or like how Romans and Greece had the same gods but one named them after planets
@@robertparkhurst4034 Sure.. well, the planets were named after the gods but same idea i guess...
I would love for these Archetype to get a other counterpart,maybe something like Winoble Knights based on the Roundtables and Paladins Counterparts known as the Ammelungs who included famous knights such as Siegfried the Dragonslayer,Dietrich von Bern and Hama
Win in Winoble knight would stand for both Wind and Victory as all of their Archetype would be Wind types.
KONAMIIIII!, hire my mans right now
I would love for Joey Wheeler to use this deck and beat kaiba and yugi, this would be super awesome for him
4 more "noble kights": Noble Knight's Spearholder, Noble Knight's Shieldbearer, Horse of the Floral Knights, And the fusion monster Centaur Mina
Also the Celtic Guard of Noble Arms.
Plus the Celestial Sword - Eatos (which is always treated as a "Noble Arms" card)
As a former NK player, this was appreciated and is my low my fav of the series.
Insert Sonic and the Black Knight reference.
That beast was their description of a giraffe since they hadn't seen them before...
That was a giraffe this whole time? That’s no fun.
Dude I tried to make a deck with this archetype and its a real pain trying to fit them all in and still keep an acceptable margin of synergy. Seriously, its just like what's happening with performapals.
I really wanna play this deck it's my third favorite archetype behind sky strikers and invoked (also I'm a big fan of the Knights of the Round Table)
Just a minor nitpick, but Lancelot’s mother wasn’t the same lady of the lake who gave the sword to Arthur. Magical ladies of the lake were like a trope back then, even more appear during the other Arthurian stories. Lancelot was also French, or at least grew up in France, so it could not have been the same lady.
i have been watching too much fate....i deadass read "noble arms" as "noble phantasm"
This deck is hard to use in Duel Links because of only 3 places allowed for Spell/Trap cards
i honestly was wondering when this architype would be covered
@king zaxa yep. This is a new better one
Waiting for the new version of six samurai video then.
De Ja Vu.
I been playing this archetype for 7 years, it makes me sad how much the new infernoble knights just overshadows my boys. Actually in one shop I heard someone actually say "They gave Isult a archetype finally!" and it made me want to cry
this makes me die inside, no matter what I'll keep on playing the orignal noboel knights no matter how trash they are
Isn't you can combine them in one deck?
I have fun making a 3k XYZ Artorugus that can't be destroyed by battle,card effect,and be targeted
@@Lucias17 oh yes I did that. and let me just say that it really gets me POed when the new cards always say FIRE WARRIOR Its like they are ashamed of being noble knights!!! I strongly believe they were suppose to be a flame swordsman deck but made it Noble Knights just to get its support. Also no one uses Morgan and it makes me cry ;~;
The fact your ye olde English voice makes this documentary even more epic!
But what about “Celtic Guard of Noble Arms?”
Don't forget noble knight's spear holder, noble knight's shield-bearer, horse of the floral knight's, centaur Mina (a fusion monster requiring noble knight's spear holder and horse of the floral knight's), and celestial sword - Eatos (as it says it's always treated as a noble arms card) which technically makes Guardian Eatos and Guardian dreadscythe apart of the architype as well. Though they and celtic guard of noble arms don't really have anything to do with the noble knights beside a few have noble knight or noble arms in their names/how they're treated, I suppose.
You forgot Celestial Sword Eatos, while not in name, it is counted as a Noble Arm. And I would wield Caliburn or Destiny. This is my favorite archetype in Yu-Gi-Oh, also had some of my best wins using this deck.
I would really like some new "sub-archetypes" (to me, it's okay if they don't have in common effects with all the others but still share similarities in artwork/names) based on some other country with legends of knights, but i don't know which it should be
China?
Japan?
Spain?
I don't know
(Maybe i'm a bit biased cause i was born there, Italy but they are Spellcasters cuz inventions?)
I would probably pick the noble arms of destiny. Fits well with my preferred fighting style to be honest.
I kinda want a mordred fusion monsters. Like you can contact fuse a level five dark monster and a noble arms equip spell. We’ve got every other extra deck type except fusion
You have to update this video now, new cards are out
1:03 Top 10 rappers eminem is too afraid to diss
Great vid as always :)
I just love the Noble Knights - they are awesome!
Does anybody know the name of the song playing at 3:55? Such a great score :)
Maybe future support cards will probably probably being the key word here will probably be released in the near future
if the Noble knight deck was in Arc-V, would it be in the Standard dimension or the XYZ dimension?
Don't know if you can consider Gawain's decision to side with his sworn king as turning his back on Lancelot, especially as at that point, he had just slain at least one of Gawain's brothers.
Is funny how I end up watching your 2 year old nobleknight like week ago and here you making new one
I made an argument A couple weeks ago about how the Paladinss of Charlemagne are nothing in comparison to the Knights of the Round Table as far as the Fate and Type Moon Universe goes
There is one thing the Knights of Charlemagne beat the knights of the round, which is how goofy they are in the fate verse.
I'm not even joking, if you played Fate Extella 2 you would see how much of a goofball that group really is.
@@Haseo123653 Yeah they win in terms of personality but in terms of Martial skill they pale in comparison
@@madambutterfly1997 well there's also the thing that the Charlemagne's Paladin is real and like a big inspiration for arthurian legend, tbf the paladins these days are mostly based on the song of roland which is a story written from Charlemagne's Daydreaming so its also kinda fictional stuff but not the level of arthurian legend stuff.
For example while Excalibur is a sword with magic, healing, ultimate power, all that stuff and in fate the sword itself have the power to wreck/save the world, Joyeuse the thing Excalibur based on is just a normal sword Charlemagne use, and it got the beamy power in extella mostly because heroic spirit and throne weird shtick
Lancelot would 1 vs 1 all 12 paladins of Charlemagne by himself
@@torking7813 debateable because Roland
I do not need any of those sword for I already have one. A sword that was bestowed to me by my father. A sword that I have trusted from the day I was given and when the dawn came, I raise it to the sky to honor my ancestor.
I'm a huge Arthurian legend nerd, so I jumped to get this deck as soon as I saw the first few cards on Duel Links. Still hoping that they give Lancelot his redemption card, or even a dark form of Mordred
So many sets ._.
Great job on the video!
Wonder if we'll get noble knights for the other three attributes in the future, there's probably other knights out there that can be used for water, wind, and earth
Id go with hauteclere' simply because I love duel blades and they look gorgeous to me
You know if they added cards to the archetype that reference the DC characters Etrigan and/or Jason Blood I would simultaneously marvel at how Konami managed to convince Warner to let them and laugh as most Yugioh fans would not know who the hell they are, nor the fact that they're related to the Arthur Mythos in the DC universe, because yes that actually happened in the comics. (As Etrigan was a demon that Merlin summoned to help protect Camelot while Jason Blood was a knight who betrayed Arthur to get down and dirty with Morgan and got cursed with immortality and turn into Etrigan with a specific rhyme.)
Sweet, one of my Favorite archetypes 👍👍 please Gusto, gishki, genex or Laval next
I find For Honor music in the background of a video on the Noble Knights to be very fitting, nice choice
I was hoping for a Fate reference, I'm not disappointed.
Can’t wait for infernoble knight bradamante , because she was trained by Merlin.
Little late, but it's here!
You know...
The Infernoble knight fighting side by side with another knight...
Giving me massive Sacred Band of Thebes vibes...
I feel like it would be cool if we got an archetype referencing Fate. It could have a whole gimmick of you needing a Master on the field to summon a Servant.
Could even have cards that represented Archers or Assassins remain on the field even if no Master card is on the fields to represent their Independent Action skill.
Head of sneake body of leopard and horze leg friend i think he slay a jirrafe 😂
Im so jealous XD you got all the prismatic noble knight cards
LOL. Gotta love a bed ridden sickly Tristan. 19:48
why does yugioh Astolfo look like the Fate Astolfo XD maybe they used the Fate one as a base for the yugioh one
What was the song used at 3:55 it’s driving me nuts
Caliburn. It's like me, nice and stable, doesn't give much power like Gallatin, but it keeps it. And gives you 500 LP. :D
for the final question i’d go with Caliburn because of that +500lp, imma be immortal
Just checked my playlist "archetype trivia", and yep the og Noble Knight video was made private.
Shame too, cause that one had the Knight of Loyalty Bedivere from Cardfight Vanguard (as an explanation of one of the noble knights) in it
Out with the old unfortunately, hope you enjoy the new Updated / Remaster Of the Archetype though
@@TGSAnime the music's fun, i'm having a good time :). Also, you never answered my question: if i were to write a script for the Black Luster Soldier archetype, would you cover it in a future video?
