You know what’s kinda upsetting? The fact that this kinda lore makes me wish there was a Yu-Gi-Oh spinoff series that focused on exploring the worlds of the archetypes and their monsters rather than one about duelists.
God, I love the design of Exblower, the archetype seems very cool and I really enjoy the new story telling from Konami and obviously your videos gathering all the infos
The more I learn about it, the more absolutely dope flavor and function of the Sprigguns design is. A ghost ship that uses nuclear hit-and-run tactics, only being at full power while their Field Spell is up since the ship is designed for the dessert (the +1000 attack), and the geurilla warfar flavor is just excellent. Feels almost like a Tag Duel archetype since it works well when able to tag out with another strategy.
I'm foreseeing in the future for Sprigguns... they will have a Rank 4 being the other ship and I'm still waiting for the Synchro Based archetype and more development for Albus and Ecclesia relationship.
Considering the Dogmatika hatred of his Fusions and the Tri-brigades utter lack of support for him, the Sprigguns seem like the best home for Albaz. I hope the poor guy gets some happiness after all that he has been through.
I do have a little nit-pick about the video. I don't think that the Sprigguns and Team Albaz ever fought. The main evidence presented here is the art of Sprigguns Blast, but the effect requiring the Sprigguns and Albaz to be on the same side of the board to increase in power implies that duing Blast Albaz is HELPING in the bombing run. If they were fighting, Blast would be more powerful if Albaz was on either side of the board.
I can see the logic of that. It's something I hadn't considered, but thinking about it in retrospect, it could also be that Albaz is capable of doing it themselves, but they have to be in the presence of a Spriggun to do it, which is why you can't just activate it with only a Splind on field. But I admit that that doesn't cleanly explain why you, as the player, would get to direct both attack if they're from opposing sides.
What People think when you say SPRIGGUN: WHAT?! What gamers think when you say SPRIGGUN: those Trent-like monsters from Elder's Scroll What anime fans think when you say SPRIGGUN: The show or the race from THAT season of SAO What Yugioh players think when you say SPRIGGUN: BIG MACHINES GO BRRRRRRRRRRR
They're so fun when it comes to their gameplay, but their lore is also really nice. It's the only archetype where their part of the story feels a lot lighter compared to every other one. They also are the only archetype in the main story that got their own side plot which I really like cause they're my favourite archetype in the entire game. Their designs are also so nice.
Good as the last one and I can understand putting both the lore and mechanics in one video since sprigguns don’t have a lot in that department right now. Also really liking the way the story is going so far
I feel that there's at least two more archetypes that are going to be released and that cover the rest of the extra deck summons (Fusion and Synchro although Albaz already covers the fusions) in order to have the complete story. My idea was maybe a direct contrast against Dogmatika, maybe an archetype that resembles a demonic cult or just straight up demons, and for a potential fifth archetype I was thinking some sort of group resistance against the Dogmatika, maybe a warrior archetype to make the contrast between spellcasters and warriors and make the resistance motif more notable. I don't know these are just some dumb ideas that I have don't mind me :)
Sounds cool! Although, Tribrigade already covers the "resistance" that fights the Dogmatika as seen in their artworks. I was also thinking that they would release an "Albaz" archetype centered around Fallen of Albaz, and that would be the last archetype of the story where Albaz gathers companions in order to fight Maximus in a last battle, kinda like the Crusadia from the World Legacy or the Zefra from the Duel Terminal. Also, did you notice how all the archetypes from this storyline use unconventional methods to Summon from the Extra Deck? Albaz uses materials from the opponent's side, the Tribrigade banishes from the GY and the Springguns uses a Field Spell.
@@BILOUUU59 Yeah. Maybe we can have an archetype that synchro summons in the opponent's turns, like crystrons, or that uses the hand as synchro material, like some tuners do.
Dark troubled cute anime boy and pure cute anime girl going through all sorts of peril with a colorful cast of characters (and fanservice)... someone on the design team would rather be doing something else with their career
@@slowlianglong4951 true, but these are more like separate archetypes with some support that is generic for all the archetypes. The fallen of albaz works with all of the archetypes for example.

Now I'm thinking of splashing cyberdragons in it so infinity will be on the field, things got a whole lot scaryer
Your lore explanation was perfect! I didn't even notice the ship battling Exblower in the artwork of Gold Golgonda! Apart from that, I also thought about most of your points. One little detail I'd like to add is that in the lore, they talked about how the Hole could bring forth various things (called "Grace Beyond Human Understanding") that included an "unknown form of black matter", which, you know, seems to be directly referring to the soot-based lifeforms that are the Springguns! They also talked about a "Relic from an Ancient Civilisation" which could be Dogmatika Nexus! It seems like every archetype in the storyline have a relation with The Hole, and Dogmatika seems to have full control on it as well. (i.e. Dogmatiscim)
Oh! Ooooooooh I totally did not make that connection about the 'unknown dark matter' thing with the soot forms, but it makes so much sense! Thank you so much for sharing!
I actually thought the Graces were references to the previous Master Guide arcs; the black matter possibly being the Steelswarm/Evilswarm virus, and the relic being related to the World Legacies.
That also sounds like a valid interpretation! If it ends up being true, it would be the first piece of strong evidence for the YGO Multiverse theory, and I would love that!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh ☆ Long reply ahead! : The World Legacy lore also hints to a similar point! It first references multiple "eras", with the one the W.L. lore took place in being called the "Mechanical Era". Meaning that what happens during that story (The Power of Destruction or Great Darkness coming from the ground, the World Heroes and the Key seal back the power of Destruction aided with the heralds of God) also happened before! And the Duel Terminal story follows a same pattern : - Power of Destruction = It was depicted mostly by the Krawlers in the W.L. lore, but there wasn't an actual incarnation of it shown = Tierra and her Infernoids, and the lswarm/Shaddoll viruses in D.L. - World Key = The Key that Ib bears, and then is given to Avramax = Naturia Sacred Tree. * (Note here that it is stated that the Key wasn't always in the form of an actual key. The key itself is a program given to the humans to seal the great darkness or power of destruction and can even allow them to become Gods themselves. Like what happens with Avram who becomes A-vida.) - World Heroes = Ib, Avram and Girsu in W.L. = Could be the Zefras, or those who beared the power of the goddesses (Sombre, Kerykeion or Winda) in D.L. - The Heralds of God = The Guardragons in W.L. = Again, the Zefras or any programs of the Naturia Tree (Qliphorts/Infernoids) in D.L. So there's seems to be a pattern here! There's also another *really* interesting detail to reinforce this connection : - The World Gears are a program that can allow any bearer of the World Key to become an actual God and was the place the first God resided in, but it was completely empty when Avram came in to strike Lee down. A God like the one that Avram becomes and Lee wanted to become. The Gears and Avida bear a striking resemblance to Apoqliphort Towers, and thus Tierra. So it's really safe to assume that all of this isn't a coincidence. Now, we don't know if Tierra and Sophia were humans who used the program or the original one, but the thesis of a world that had gone through multiple cycles of creation and destruction isn't too far fetched. The World Legacy lore seems to be the last iteration of that cycle though, since Lib seals the World Key after Avram resets the world, and thus no one can have access to the program again. How the Abyss storyline ties-in all of that? I don't really know! It could totally be another iteration of the cycle of the World, with the Hole being the Power of Destruction or Great Darkness. But we don't have enough to advance ourselves on that subject for now... Sorry if this was too long!
Don't gotta apologize for long posts to me, I love seeing that level of enthusiasm! And yeah, it would not be surprised if the recurring themes were meant to be a hint to tie everything together. I just hope they get more explicit with it someday. Like, Avida? Clearly has Qliphort arms. You can't just drop that on us and not explain that, Konami xD
@@GoldenNovaYugioh Well, it's safe to say whatever or whoever he fuses with dies in the process, or at the very least is severely fatigued after separation. And he fused at least 3 times; once during the his initial arrival at the Dogma Church, then during Tri-brigade Revolt, and lastly in the Goldgonda Desert. Maybe the Trap cards are more than they seem. I have a hunch and if I'm right, maybe King Alpha was there too, assisting with the revolt and Albaz fused with him. Glorydragon has the same mane and horns as King Alpha, maybe he was some sort of secret weapon for the Tribrigade.
You've somewhat mentioned this when referring to the dragons but is it more possible that it is decay or another form of energy born from the holes? With the newest fusion, despite the differences, one important note is how the eye (the other one is cut as shown in oath)is blue with the aura, a possible connection. Also, Fleur might've died and is similar to the TriBrigade (or absorbed others who died) with the implications of Brigand's material being Level 8 or higher instead of a monster of one of those types. Continuing his duty to protect the saint through Albaz. Each form of the dragon has served a purpose, surviving. Fighting, protecting, and fleeing. Transformation could also be based on the needs of the situation which is why he's able to adapt well. But that's more speculation.
Nothing wrong with speculation! (arguably that's how I reach half of my conclusions xD) If there is some kind of corruption, that could also be a factor. I brought up the possibility of Miasma being involved, but this segment didn't really confirm or deny anything like that, so that's up in the air. Your idea that Stigmavore/Brigrand is a fusion with Fleur has some merit. I'd always thought it needed to be associated with the archetype they supported in their card text, but because that requirement isn't part if their actual Fusion requirements, that does leave things up in the air. You've brought up a lot of good things to think about. Thank you for sharing!
I just started testing them after it looked like most there support was revealed. With Merry-Maker and Brothers it really rounds them out for basic combos. Booty gives a nice consistency boost to the field spell, and big snek helps with rank 8 xyz. They have a new trap too and while omni negate is good, losing your boss monster for it kinda sucks, so its kinda of a last resort. Basic combos is field spell + captain, gets you the pop destruction; + another springan gets you Albaz fusion and/or otk setup; + another springan gets you the pop and Albaz fusion. + Big snek gives a rank 8. Ding helps protect and can recycle Banger and/or remove Dragoons. Draglubion can cheese out Hope, Heart Earth, or Number 100. Sky Prison can lock down the grave. Or Castrum to attack the extra deck. If you used Captain as material, once you detach him you can bring him back out for a pop with Call. Big Snake can also bring himself back for a beefy 3k or go into another xyz, also can crash into a Dragoon if opponent doesnt negate it. Steel Star Regulator and Black Luster are pretty good L3 that can clear out the Merry Maker to summon the Exblowrer. Unfortunately this deck doesnt really play nice with other archetypes, the extra deck space is tight, and running Prosparity is a must because you NEED to see the field spell.
I don't think I realized that some of these videos were also the explained videos. Not to say I don't want as much Nova as possible, but it is nice that for someone like me trying to get caught up can just hop to the lore!
18:33 "And now that we're approaching the FINAL ACT of this segment of the story, I'm curious to see if THE MASK will come off, and we'll see the face of the church of Dogmatika". Despia: ... Despia: Listen here, no spoilers, alright ?!
Playing Master Duel, I couldn't help but be intrigued by the relationship between all these different archetypes. This shit is so interesting, how the fuck has Konami NOT capitalized on this kind of writing???
I have a theory or rather a coincidence that can be important. So far the archetypes that are against dogmatika have some form of cheat monsters from the Extra Deck, 2 possibilities: 1 these are done as a unifying that indicates that they are under the juice of dogmatika and will be something recurrent in all the archetypes that oppose to them. 2) this happens due to its high connection with kit so its mechanics are similar because tri brigade and springun are connected.
Those make a lot of sense. Something I didn't bring up that I should have was that Dogmatika and Sprigguns have a Field Spell but Tribrigade don't, but I hadn't considered the extra deck cheating, that's really cool! Thank you for sharing!
So apparently the red hair girl becomes White Relic of Dogmatika, I'm still going through this lore series so IDK if you'll bring that up later, but yeah, letting you know here just in case :)
mans didnt do much research tofigure all this out he got more than 40% of the card names wrong and didnt explain who alabaz initially was like common dude "sprind the steelexpress dragon" fr? or number 38 ill admit that one was funny but the sprind one got to me how you say you did research but not remember the names of what you researched
would it be a stretch to claim that this story and attached archetypes are based on FF because I'm seeing a LOT of FF14 with all these designs and story themes I mean Dogmatika is reverse ishgard if you really think about it and call me crazy but that was a Lalafel in one of the card designs
Love the video and while I hate to say it, Salamangreat could actually work decently with Sprigguns. So far from what I can tell they don't really need a normal summon or lock you into certain monsters so effectively the fire aspect could synergize well and make that control/grind match even stronger. All hypothetical but I'm gonna have to test it now. Again, awesome video though man! Keep it up!
Miragestallio is like an essential first turn play for Salads and it locks you into only using Fire effects for the rest of the turn when you use it’s effect.
My brain is too small to run too many archetypes at once so I'm just running 3 copies of albaz, 2 copies of super poly and a bunch of albaz fusions for my non springan cards
Glad you're looking forward to it, cause I do plan on it! Once the full Lightning Overdrive set list has been revealed, I'm gonna pour over all the details and see what I can divine from them!
This makes me wish the Machine/Dragon Cyber Archetype had a lore. I always thought of Cyberdark Dragon to resemble Trigon, the Union Dragon Monster. Meanwhile, Cyber Emergency has what looks like Jade Knight surrounded by Dragons. Delta-Tri would unionize with Trigon, A Machine Equipping a Dragon... Idk, I see potential and would love your take if there were a lore for Cyber Dragons. Or, The Cyber Legacy. Officially Subscribing. Love the Content!!
Sprind may not be as hard to summon as one might think When people start running Contact C to counter the Branded deck that'll be meta after the structure deck, Splind will be a crucial extra deck card to run to remove the contact C from your board
It is so interesting to see a Vorthos(lore-based) community in Duel Monsters/Yu-Gi-Oh. You guys get far less lore dumps and information than us MTG players, and yet you still work on piecing things together. If only Konami did lore articles/stories like WotC does...
11:29 I get the feeling The Tri-Brigade told Ecclesia and Albaz where they could take refugee and hide themselves fromthe Dogmatika. And sent them so they could meet a previous member of the Tri-Brigade: Tri-Brigade Kitt
I’m getting vehicroid vibes from the main deck spriggun monsters purely by how they look and how cartoonish their eyes are and the fact concept art shows they have quote on quote alternate modes that still look cartoony
The Explained Videos are meant to cover all the cards in an archetype at the time of release, while Shuffling Through History is purely about the lore that's available, plus speculation. However, the more recent Explained Videos about the Lore Archetypes (Dogmatika, Tri-Brigade, etc.) have been a mix of the two. The new information hasn't been enough to make it's own video, so I add them in with the Explained to hopefully make it more concise. I hope that helps, and I'm sorry for any confusion!
I'm just here for the Dogmas story explained. I liked it since the first chapter, and have been searching non stop this. Great videos and explainings you pull out, man
been playing almost exclusively sprigguns in Master duel and they're super fun and have good staying power too! thanks for the lore dump! the ecclesia/albaz stuff is super neat!
Sooo uh, am i the only one seeing parrellels between the void with this hole? Sure cits not the exact same but with what we have seen sofar we got a group of dragon woshipers, a amnisiac that gets powers from other things. some beast looking fancy weapon users, and a new group of mechonized humaniods. We still dont know a ton on the lore but any way this ties in to dracoslayer in a way? Cus im seein quite a few parrelles (Pardon the typos im on my phone rn)
@@GoldenNovaYugioh only the time gating of main sets will answer the question it seems. Arguably the worst method of anti progression in any game. Though ngl i recently found your channel from hardleg i always have been a sucker for yugioh lore so its the main thing i been watching in your back catalouge in the down time i got. That etele vid was prettt nice too The level of detail you put in your conenent is rather amazing im honestly suprized ya dont have more veiwership yet. Keep up the good info and good work!
So whats the next story for lore? I’m loving this, and I recently got back into yug cause of Tri-Brigade, and I always wanted to know what was going on beyond the cards.
Legit, one of the BEST things about having made this channel is hearing from all the LotD fans when they hear the music. If I can ever get to the point where I can make a second, video game oriented channel, you better BELIEVE I am talking about it.

It would be so nice to have a video with the full updated lore, now that the saga is ending.
Wow outstanding vid, you're really underrated I must say.
😭 Thank you! Compliments like that really raise my spirits. I hope I can keep providing you great videos!
Ok, I'll call Hope Harbinger how you call him from now on.
Also, yay more lore!
It's very fun and not at all a tongue twister :D
Maximus being used as a name reminds me of world legacy
Actually made the pog face when I saw this in my sub box, love these videos so much
Appropriate, cause I made the pog face after reading this comment! Thank you!
I wonder if Albaz's fusion condition means anything towards the lore?
I had a few ideas (in the Dragma/Tribrigade video) about that, but....this one just puzzles me. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh Well, it's safe to say whatever or whoever he fuses with dies in the process, or at the very least is severely fatigued after separation.
And he fused at least 3 times; once during the his initial arrival at the Dogma Church, then during Tri-brigade Revolt, and lastly in the Goldgonda Desert. Maybe the Trap cards are more than they seem.
I have a hunch and if I'm right, maybe King Alpha was there too, assisting with the revolt and Albaz fused with him. Glorydragon has the same mane and horns as King Alpha, maybe he was some sort of secret weapon for the Tribrigade.
You've somewhat mentioned this when referring to the dragons but is it more possible that it is decay or another form of energy born from the holes? With the newest fusion, despite the differences, one important note is how the eye (the other one is cut as shown in oath)is blue with the aura, a possible connection.
Also, Fleur might've died and is similar to the TriBrigade (or absorbed others who died) with the implications of Brigand's material being Level 8 or higher instead of a monster of one of those types. Continuing his duty to protect the saint through Albaz. Each form of the dragon has served a purpose, surviving. Fighting, protecting, and fleeing. Transformation could also be based on the needs of the situation which is why he's able to adapt well. But that's more speculation.
Nothing wrong with speculation! (arguably that's how I reach half of my conclusions xD)
If there is some kind of corruption, that could also be a factor. I brought up the possibility of Miasma being involved, but this segment didn't really confirm or deny anything like that, so that's up in the air.
Your idea that Stigmavore/Brigrand is a fusion with Fleur has some merit. I'd always thought it needed to be associated with the archetype they supported in their card text, but because that requirement isn't part if their actual Fusion requirements, that does leave things up in the air.
You've brought up a lot of good things to think about. Thank you for sharing!
From part 1 alone. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Who doesn't love a good fantasy story.
I also believe they took inspiration from Dune
I just started testing them after it looked like most there support was revealed. With Merry-Maker and Brothers it really rounds them out for basic combos. Booty gives a nice consistency boost to the field spell, and big snek helps with rank 8 xyz. They have a new trap too and while omni negate is good, losing your boss monster for it kinda sucks, so its kinda of a last resort.
Basic combos is field spell + captain, gets you the pop destruction; + another springan gets you Albaz fusion and/or otk setup; + another springan gets you the pop and Albaz fusion.
+ Big snek gives a rank 8. Ding helps protect and can recycle Banger and/or remove Dragoons. Draglubion can cheese out Hope, Heart Earth, or Number 100. Sky Prison can lock down the grave. Or Castrum to attack the extra deck. If you used Captain as material, once you detach him you can bring him back out for a pop with Call. Big Snake can also bring himself back for a beefy 3k or go into another xyz, also can crash into a Dragoon if opponent doesnt negate it.
Steel Star Regulator and Black Luster are pretty good L3 that can clear out the Merry Maker to summon the Exblowrer.
Unfortunately this deck doesnt really play nice with other archetypes, the extra deck space is tight, and running Prosparity is a must because you NEED to see the field spell.
I don't think I realized that some of these videos were also the explained videos. Not to say I don't want as much Nova as possible, but it is nice that for someone like me trying to get caught up can just hop to the lore!
18:33 "And now that we're approaching the FINAL ACT of this segment of the story, I'm curious to see if THE MASK will come off, and we'll see the face of the church of Dogmatika".
Despia: ...
Despia: Listen here, no spoilers, alright ?!
Bro I wanna see an albaz base form , eclisia with Maximus power boost and evil Maximus card
Ooooo, fingers crossed! I hope we get a lot more info drops for Lightning Overdrive in the next few days!
Playing Master Duel, I couldn't help but be intrigued by the relationship between all these different archetypes. This shit is so interesting, how the fuck has Konami NOT capitalized on this kind of writing???
Number 38: Hope Harbinger Super Duper King-Sized Double Dip Deluxe Dragon Titan Galaxy is my absolute favorite card !
I have a theory or rather a coincidence that can be important. So far the archetypes that are against dogmatika have some form of cheat monsters from the Extra Deck, 2 possibilities: 1 these are done as a unifying that indicates that they are under the juice of dogmatika and will be something recurrent in all the archetypes that oppose to them. 2) this happens due to its high connection with kit so its mechanics are similar because tri brigade and springun are connected.
Those make a lot of sense. Something I didn't bring up that I should have was that Dogmatika and Sprigguns have a Field Spell but Tribrigade don't, but I hadn't considered the extra deck cheating, that's really cool! Thank you for sharing!
You first the Dirk souls music in part 1 and now legend of dragoon music for part 2? I'm smiling wide just hearing it.
VOLCANO!
So apparently the red hair girl becomes White Relic of Dogmatika, I'm still going through this lore series so IDK if you'll bring that up later, but yeah, letting you know here just in case :)
Oh my god, the ExBlower shoots missiles at your opponent's field. They blow up wherever they hit and take stuff with them. I love it so much.
mans didnt do much research tofigure all this out he got more than 40% of the card names wrong and didnt explain who alabaz initially was like common dude "sprind the steelexpress dragon" fr? or number 38 ill admit that one was funny but the sprind one got to me how you say you did research but not remember the names of what you researched
would it be a stretch to claim that this story and attached archetypes are based on FF because I'm seeing a LOT of FF14 with all these designs and story themes I mean Dogmatika is reverse ishgard if you really think about it and call me crazy but that was a Lalafel in one of the card designs
Love the video and while I hate to say it, Salamangreat could actually work decently with Sprigguns. So far from what I can tell they don't really need a normal summon or lock you into certain monsters so effectively the fire aspect could synergize well and make that control/grind match even stronger. All hypothetical but I'm gonna have to test it now. Again, awesome video though man! Keep it up!
Oh goodness, Salamangreat grind AND constant destruction effects? If you get a deck list together, let me know!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh will do! Might be something to play around with on my next stream if you find the time to tune in!
👀👀👀👀👀
Any update on Salad springans??
Miragestallio is like an essential first turn play for Salads and it locks you into only using Fire effects for the rest of the turn when you use it’s effect.
My brain is too small to run too many archetypes at once so I'm just running 3 copies of albaz, 2 copies of super poly and a bunch of albaz fusions for my non springan cards
I used melffy as defense and they work so well. Sprigguns are the offense of my deck
That makes a lot of sense! I never considered how much self-bouncing you get from Melffys. Thank you for sharing!
Spriggans Madolche sounds crazy. Empty the grace onto exe or merry and then do madolche stuff
Konami making stuff about guns? MADNESS!
Next thing ya know, they're gonna let crosses be on cards! Or they'll just have a whole ass guillotine on one!
Magical muskets?
What? No, no, those are just, uh...Nerf...guns...right?
@@GoldenNovaYugioh haha i mean doc is a straight up sniper rifle.
I always watch videos like these to find what my next deck will be I'm excited to build this archetype
Was that rose duelist music I heard in the background? It IS; you have excellent taste
I love these lore videos. Also can we talk about the use of the Legend of Dragoon soundtrack as bgm
That's Legend of Dragoon music in the background!!!!
Sprjans? Sprggets? Sprigits? SPRIG-THEMS? Actually one of the cards is called brothers so we there is at least three SPRIGG-HES
"Are you a boy or a girl?"
"I'm a Spriggan."
"Yeah, but what's between your legs?"
"Xyz Material."
That Duelist of the Roses music in the background takes me back.
Please do a lore video on the new dragma ritual and stigmata stuff, I'd love to see where this story goes^_^
Glad you're looking forward to it, cause I do plan on it! Once the full Lightning Overdrive set list has been revealed, I'm gonna pour over all the details and see what I can divine from them!
So for each card I detach I can destroy a card in a particular area and do splash damage to the surrounding area?
...I came here for the lore, not for getting explained what the cards do.
Wonder if the new Rescue-Aces could work with them XD
bro!! I am binging these lore videos. Like and share for sure
This makes me wish the Machine/Dragon Cyber Archetype had a lore. I always thought of Cyberdark Dragon to resemble Trigon, the Union Dragon Monster. Meanwhile, Cyber Emergency has what looks like Jade Knight surrounded by Dragons. Delta-Tri would unionize with Trigon, A Machine Equipping a Dragon... Idk, I see potential and would love your take if there were a lore for Cyber Dragons. Or, The Cyber Legacy. Officially Subscribing. Love the Content!!
Sprind may not be as hard to summon as one might think
When people start running Contact C to counter the Branded deck that'll be meta after the structure deck, Splind will be a crucial extra deck card to run to remove the contact C from your board
Cornish floklore ? (research later) ... where is Cornwall?!
Do I hear forbidden land from Legend of dragoon? Amazing....
I think Kitt builds the shells for the spriggans
It is so interesting to see a Vorthos(lore-based) community in Duel Monsters/Yu-Gi-Oh. You guys get far less lore dumps and information than us MTG players, and yet you still work on piecing things together. If only Konami did lore articles/stories like WotC does...
hoping you do the next dogmatika lore chapter xiangjian
i dont know but i feel that maximus is despia dramaturge
11:29 I get the feeling The Tri-Brigade told Ecclesia and Albaz where they could take refugee and hide themselves fromthe Dogmatika. And sent them so they could meet a previous member of the Tri-Brigade: Tri-Brigade Kitt
So, was the giant ship a fusion or no?
I’m getting vehicroid vibes from the main deck spriggun monsters purely by how they look and how cartoonish their eyes are and the fact concept art shows they have quote on quote alternate modes that still look cartoony
14:40 love the use of The Legend of the Dragoon music
I play a sprigguns, dogmatika and tri- brigade deck... Lol
The BLE here is strong! (Big Lore Energy)
whats the difference between your playlist Archtype Analyses and Lore?
The Explained Videos are meant to cover all the cards in an archetype at the time of release, while Shuffling Through History is purely about the lore that's available, plus speculation.
However, the more recent Explained Videos about the Lore Archetypes (Dogmatika, Tri-Brigade, etc.) have been a mix of the two. The new information hasn't been enough to make it's own video, so I add them in with the Explained to hopefully make it more concise.
I hope that helps, and I'm sorry for any confusion!
I'm just here for the Dogmas story explained. I liked it since the first chapter, and have been searching non stop this. Great videos and explainings you pull out, man
So I never paid sprigguns any attention honestly. But after hearing your explanation of them, I might have to build their deck.
been playing almost exclusively sprigguns in Master duel and they're super fun and have good staying power too! thanks for the lore dump! the ecclesia/albaz stuff is super neat!
Flundereeze complete lore- "birb"
14:37 that’s…
LEGEND OF DRAGOON?!
was always wondering why the tribrigades had gloomy backgroumds and kitt was for some reason in a desert.
Can you make the video of Heraldry?
The duelist of roses soundtrack was lit
Legends of dragoon OST sounds pretty good
Man albaz could be its own isekai anime lol
10:54 cyber dragon are very much this
Sprigguns mirror match is just battleship the boardgame!
Change my mind
Rocky: Uh...A4?
Pede: We're playing YGO, you can see my board!
Rocky: ...so is that a yes?
😁😂😂😂
Sooo uh, am i the only one seeing parrellels between the void with this hole? Sure cits not the exact same but with what we have seen sofar we got a group of dragon woshipers, a amnisiac that gets powers from other things. some beast looking fancy weapon users, and a new group of mechonized humaniods.
We still dont know a ton on the lore but any way this ties in to dracoslayer in a way? Cus im seein quite a few parrelles
(Pardon the typos im on my phone rn)
I would not be surprised. Avida already proves the existence of some kind of multiverse, now it's just a matter of more confirmations.
@@GoldenNovaYugioh only the time gating of main sets will answer the question it seems. Arguably the worst method of anti progression in any game.
Though ngl i recently found your channel from hardleg i always have been a sucker for yugioh lore so its the main thing i been watching in your back catalouge in the down time i got. That etele vid was prettt nice too
The level of detail you put in your conenent is rather amazing im honestly suprized ya dont have more veiwership yet. Keep up the good info and good work!
Thank you so much, that means a lot!😭😭😭
Yo sprig fans are a lot better I thought
this guy just adds puns to every card
Did you use legend of dragoon music
Weird. This is like not lore at all.
The card overviews were cool, but the lore is where it’s at.
I plan on watching the whole series
I can't wait for the despia arc
Man i kinda wish this was a video game
new cards new lores have been released
seems like shit got real.
Ooooo yes can't wait to cover them!
Oooh he gave them Mercourier!
So whats the next story for lore? I’m loving this, and I recently got back into yug cause of Tri-Brigade, and I always wanted to know what was going on beyond the cards.
The next video lore wise is gonna be Stigmata Explained. I hope you'll enjoy!
God i love the legend of dragoon osts that you used, great video btw
Amazing video series!
That music is from legend of dragoon oh wow that's so cool that someone even remembers that amazing game lol
LotD is legit my favorite RPG, so I LOVE using the music!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh yooooo it's an awesome honor to finally meet another fan
Legit, one of the BEST things about having made this channel is hearing from all the LotD fans when they hear the music.
If I can ever get to the point where I can make a second, video game oriented channel, you better BELIEVE I am talking about it.
Dude, sprigguns busted
So you can play the little dragon boi and super polys as an interruption and then hit them harder with the fusions that replace themselves nice
It's pretty spicy 😎
