Only polymerization master of all four elements and darkness can stop blue eyes white dragon but it vanished. 100 years a have we discovered a new card although rarely used I believe super polymerization can save the world
I would love an archetype based on 5 headed. Each head could be a main deck monster add some spells and traps that generally work with dragons and get cumulative effects for different attributes.
Would a Five-Headed Blue-Eyes White Dragon fit in this category? Like, it could be a fusion monster and its materials could be five blue-eyes dragon monsters.
Although a cool concept, I don't think blue eyes would fit with Kaiba's business rivals. I can see a new master of dragon knight though. Maybe any blue-eyes monster + any chaos monster.
Which is actually what I think is going to happen, so that Dark Magician of Chaos can fuse with Blue-Eyes, ***and we finally get Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes merging.
There are a few archetypes that already cover all elements too. Dragon maid would work nice. Though I'd prefer aromas or magical girls with a DNA surgery in play.
Five Headed Dragon also made an appearance in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters mini-series but was defeated by Yugi who used the power of blue eyes white dragon.
Considering that the link version of five headed dragon is unaffected by other card effects and is a massive beat stick that can ONLY die in battle to a light attribute monster, makes it worth the maintenance cost in my opinion
Until it gets a kaiju slapped on top of it lol, but you can say that about almost everything so still not bad, and when people run things like Fairy Tale Snow i dont think banishing 5 from grave is much of a cost for some decks lmao
Unless you bring out cards that can remove the cards from the GY, like rainbow neos and evigishki mind augis, and stall with other cards that will make FHLD unable to do anything... Or just put imperial iron wall and the dragon goes to the GY
@@thecheneytribe5439 wait, but don’t cards that are banished face down Act like there COMPLETELY gone? Like they aren’t gonna be able to be even mentioned in the game
Honestly the more I've gotten into DnD, the more I'm noticing all the references and inspirations in YGO, especially in the earlier years. Kind of surprised no one has made a TTRPG based on Duelist Kingdom or the game talked about here yet.
Because Konami, in all of their infinite greed, hasn't realized the lowest hanging fruit that people have been begging for. And yes I genuinely have heard people say they'd want some variant of Monster Quest to be made into a real game.
It's always stupid, short sighted greed that keeps us from having nice things... >:( Screw it, I'm gonna jot this down and see if I can't homebrew something unofficial when I get time lol
Another major issue is, in the U.S. at least, DnD is the largest and only reasonably respected TTRPG 'of the mind', and it's also owned by Wizards of the Coast, who own Magic: The Gathering. As much as I know we would all love to see an official yugioh module for DnD, it's like saying you want to see Kratos in Smash bros., it's just not happening. If Konami did strike a deal with another company to simulate ygo in ttrpg, it would be a massive risk on their part, as not only would it require development of a whole new system, which would take years, but it would *need* to be supported for multiple years afterward to see any profitable returns. At least, if we're being honest. While it sounds like greed, it's business basics, especially for a large corporation like Konami, a few bad moves and a failed risk could put the whole company on edge. Now, if somebody wanted to develop a basic system for the ttrpg, and then bring it up to konami executives, if they'll even listen to you, that would be the best way to go about it. You see, corporations require something tangible most of the time, before they're willing to put any of their own effort into it. Boards don't like fantasies, and that's what this would ultimately be for them. And now I have some ideas involving GURPS and my massive collection of cards...
i mean, the original concept by Takahashi himself in the Manga was a card game called like, Magic and Wizards or something. I forget the exact translation. But suffice to say i don't doubt there's some kind of DnD/MtG inspiration behind it. MtG did debut in 1993 after all, 3 years before the Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga.
@@lethalButters You're aware that figure you're quoting isn't annual revenue, but total revenue correct? Otherwise you're absolutely right. I make the same argument with Pokemon all the time. They can afford to make mistakes and misteps, because they have so much money that a normal person would be set for their entire life if they had that kind of cash. Even then being in the top 25 highest grossing IPs of all time, the vast majority above them being Disney, and Nintendo. Konami could easily splurge.
In our childhood, we used to believe that you must use Darkfire Dragon, Metal Dragon, Serpent Night Dragon/Red-Eyes and two other dragons like Curse of Dragon, Tri-Horned, Seiyaryu, Hyozanryu, Tyrant Dragon, Luster Dragon, Thousand Dragon etc. in order to summon it. We argued why a certain dragon can or can't be used lol
Ideally, the Link Monster would be used as a final push to deal with all the opponent’s remaining cards on the field. It could work in something like Dragonmaids or Dragon Link, assuming the latter has enough dragons of various Attributes. Ideally, the maintenance cost wouldn’t come into play as the duel would end the same turn it is summoned.
Looking at a video on Five Headed Dragon, it makes me think there’s potential for a “Was The Big Five about to defeat Yugi and Joey?”. One instance is when Nezbitt takes over from Johnson; had Johnson got another turn, used his deck master’s effect to banish all of their monster’s, destroy Mirror Force with Heavy Storm and attack Joey directly with Machine King defeating him. Yugi would be at a huge disadvantage at this point and would likely loss.
Yugi would definitely lose in that scenario, because he would not be able to summon the mirage knight or the dark magician knight without Joeys help, and he doesnt have Slifer in this duel, so I really dont know what he could possibly do against Five headed dragon on his own.
Just a fun fact I thought was worth mentioning, I always felt like FGDs design was based specifically on Tiamat's depiction in the anime Record of Lodoss war, if you look up the anime's OP it appears towards the end.
For a semi iconic boss monster from the DM Era, I’m suprised it doesn’t have an archetype yet. It could be seeing the individual dragons each with different effects. And hell, shove Red-Eyes in there since the dark head looks like it anyways
Honestly... I prefer to use Greater Polymerization when fusion summoning FHD. Giving it immunity to Edit (card effects) as well as inflicting piercing damage makes it extra deadly.
Five-Headed Link Dragon's summoning condition is very easy to meet, since it just requires any five monsters at minimum, so you can abuse token strats with him. He's the main monster on my kuriboh deck and I've had the chance to play two on the same turn on Master Duel. It's crazy seeing opponents try to remove it by any means and failing due to being unnafected.
I'd honestly love to see a Deck that could abuse it. It can kind of get stuck by Nibiru though pre-summoning (Nibiru won't work once it's out though since the mass-Tributing is an effect).
I’ve loved this series for a while now, but this is Egyptian God level of Divine timing. Yesterday my D&D group had our 4th to last session of what’s been a four-year long campaign where Tiamat was revealed as the final boss. Edit / Update: We defeated her!!! And fittingly enough, one of the contributing factors to our win was the arrival of a sorcerer / paladin of Bahamut NPC we’d befriended halfway through the campaign who happened to be a young platinum dragon in disguise!!!
Legendary Heroes, Virtual World, Grand Championship, and Capsule Monsters (Definitely counts) ...Nope, that's 1 head of filler appearances short, buddy.
I would love a fusion or ritual version that gained different effects for each element you use as material. Fire - added damage when destroying a monster Water - attack again after destroying something Dark - if target isn't destroyed by battle, banish it Wind - Piercing battle damage Earth - Can switch battle position at end of turn Something like that.
I remember five headed dragon also appearing in the animated version of capsule monster colloseum and yugi fusing together with blue eyes white dragon to defeat it :O
5-Headed Dragon was an incredibly strong monster when it first came out, but as the years followed, monsters evolved with crazy skills and other cards and archetypes also evolved. Some players can special summon 20 monsters on just 1 turn with no problem. Certainly, 5-Headed Dragon can’t compete with that.
Due to the massive summoning requirement and lack of protection for spell/traps it wasn’t really strong at all when it came out. It was too much investment for a card that could be stopped by mirror force, fissure, dark hole ect
You mentioned the Future Fusion/Dragon's Mirror combo, but you forgot to bring up another hilarious thing you could do with this: dump a bunch of fodder you could revive with Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, use for synchros and stuff, *then* Dragon's Mirror them once your combos were done.
or dump use future fusion to dump all of white stones of legends get 3 blue eyes and them easily fuse them into ultiamte dragon or ritual sumon chaos max dragon
When you see Toons being played and wanna see this dragon have a Toon version of itself and be the first ever Toon fusion card or be a toon version of the Link-summoned counterpart! That would be AWESOME AF!
if only we had that grass looks greener I'm sure the link retrain could be a really fun tech for dragon links and to be honest I kind of wanna see it now xD Still it really feels like the dragon rulers were kind of made for that card, idk it kind of fits the theme because we already had a lot of dark monster. Anyway to anyone that sees this comment, have a nice day
*The Headed/God Dragon Archetype* Make it like the A to Z series, Give it all 5 dragons and let it fuse with different combinations of said dragons. I think the sound of Hot Headed Dragon would be cool.
Hear this: 5 main deck dragons, one for each attribute, if they are used as fusion material for a dragon tipe fusion monster that monster gets an addictional effect from each one of them
Back in the day I used to include FHD and Dragon’s Mirror in basically all of my Dragon decks as a sort of emergency ace. As time has gone on I use it less and less, even in decks where I could conceivably use it with ease. I should make a deck for it, if for nothing else than for casual nostalgia.
@@benoliver5593 Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. It’s already a fusion focused archetype and is made up of dragons, so it can actually be used as a monster as opposed to an equip card like in the Cyberdark deck I last used it in.
During my high school days in 2006/2007, this was my alt win con. Thanks to it's massive attack and semi generic materials. It can act both as Graveyard setup and close out a game if the field is open at the drop of a Dragon's Mirror. And I loved it so.
I realized something, if Arc-V had a ritual dimension we could have had a new version of the 5-headed Dragon using the 5 dimensional dragons (Pendulum, Syncro, Xyz, Fusion and Ritual) as material, in fact, the Dragon of the Supreme King Z-Arc could have been a 5-headed dimensional dragon. Actually, even without the 5th, the Z-Arc Supreme King's Dragon could have been a 4-headed dimensional dragon and it would still be very interesting.
This brings back so many memories of me as a kid binge watching the original Yu-Gi-Oh series seeing this card on the TV screen I miss young version of me ,my childhood and so many things I really want to go back and fix
It's important to mention that each head of FHD are: - Serpent Night Dragon (Dark) - Aqua Dragon (Water) - Luster Dragon 2/Metal Dragon (Wind) - Meteor Dragon (Earth) - Darkfire Dragon / Tyrant Dragon (Fire)
yeah, for me, and most likely a lot of other people, 5 headed dragon was and still is a cool fusion monster. yes it has its downsides and the link dragon has a high maintenance cost, but at he end of the day, both are still really powerful cards that were at the pinnacle of power at their respective times of release given that a majority of the deck is dedicated to getting them out, helping them stay out, and protecting them from the many forms of destruction like Raigeki, banish effects, negate of their summon, etc. Overall, a great card to have for nostalgia's sake, but not much else considering how easy it is to get rid of it. Great video overall. By the way, can you please do archetype videos for the Nekroz and D/D/D's as well please. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would love to see those videos and get a ton of views. anyways keep up the great work and stay safe.
Fun fact, for those that don't know, the dragons that were used in Duel Monster Quest are: -Red Eyes Black Dragon -Curse of Dragon -Harpie's Pet Dragon .....and of course, the Big 5s Mythic Dragon. (Yes, Blue Eyes was also used, but it was later tributed for the fusion summon of Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon) Making these 8 dragons the perfect power boost for Dragon Master Knight, since it has base 5000 attack point, each of those dragons gave 500 additional attack points to the ultimate beast. 4000 points worth, giving Dragon Master Knight 9000 attack. Yes, Mythic Dragon is a combination of different types of dragons, each with their attributes, however their individual head forms had their power sucked into DMK, 500 points for each. Finally, its worth noting that although Curse of Dragon, along with Gaia the Fierece Knight, was used to Ritual Summon the OG Black Luster Soldier, it also had its power added to DMK.
3:48 if anyone is curious as to the movie from where this Bahamut comes from It's Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Complete One of my favourite films (visually! Story isn't super great)
@@CornaOnTheCob it's because I've seen that visually gorgeous movie endless amount of times because wow!!! That movie is amazing especially for 2006 Yeah it's that old
A DnD archetype styled around chromatic dragon's and dragon cultists focused on summoning Tiamat, the five-headed queen of evil dragons. Lots of dice rolling effects and cards that grand protection and extra effects to to five-headed dragon.
Five-Headed Dragon: AKA "You're watching filler when you see this boy!" Back in the day, this monster was decent for big stats, but it's not good at all due to power creep, but it's still memorable.
I wish there was a supporting archetype for five headed dragon, that would be "dragon of elements" like Singe, dragon of elements, Noir, dragon of elements, or other dragon of elements which if you use them for a monster that mentions at least two attributes on it with at least one being their attribute and the other being any other attribute besides light or devine, they give an additional effect to that monster with there being baby and adult versions of the "dragon of elements" and there wouldn't be a light one or a devine one to prevent unnecessary chaos support, and their spell and traps are similar to the Charmers but only can be used on cards that mention at least two non light or devine attributes, and they give the pseudo archetype element a boost as well as desert twister. That would be a fun deck to experiment with in my opinion
Funny thing about Blue eyes and Bahamut is that Bahamut is the father the metallic dragons of dnd which are typically order aligned and benevolent monsters as opposed to their chromatic brethren that are varying degrees of chaos/evil. Blue eyes often gets joked about looking more and more metallic/robotic over the years in new artworks but really it just cause that’s how the metal dragons of DnD are like with the platinum white dragon, Bahumut standing above all others; gold silver, bronze and copper (amongst many others)
Five Headed Dragon is such an awesome Dragon Fusion monster and it's so OP It makes its 1st debut in Duel Monsters Quest arc, then reappears in the Virtual World arc, Kaiba Land WC arc and later on Capsule Monsters arc in DM. And finally it makes its final appearance in Season 4 of GX
FGD also appeared during the Capsule Monsters arc, which was literally invincible except against the "White Dragon" i.e Blue-Eyes. It was also part of the Underworld Deck's Fusion Deck but it was never summoned.
The following text is from the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki page, "Card Storylines" Petit Dragon began his journey becoming the familiar of Wynn, gaining more power as they both grew stronger. One day he decided he wanted to be able to breath fire, so he sought out a plant to give him this power. However, once he ate the plant his body ignited, and he was turned into a vicious dragon. Bent on becoming a more threatening force, he combined powers with four other dragons, making them all become nearly invincible, until the day when they were defeated by a powerful foe. The knight sealed Darkfire Dragon's soul inside a sword. This sword was then wielded by the Flame Swordsman.
That’s really weird, I use Future Fusion-Five Headed Dragon combo but I didn’t know Trueman did too. But I’ve never used Dragon’s Mirror with it too. 🤔 have to give that a try
Do not try doing this is the more recent games as Future Fusion got an erotta where the first part of it’s effect happens on the turn after you first activate it. Otherwise, have fun summoning out the big dwagon
More fusion monsters that require 5 monsters of the same type, with a conditions on the fusion materials Five Headed Dragon for DRAGONS Quintet Magician for SPELLCASTERS (5 spellcasters with different names). for WARRIORS it would probably specify that the 5 materials have to be warriors with different attributes.
Nah, Warriors should be different levels and he equips his materials, gains their combined stats and an attack for each with a one turn immunity to card effects. You can easily win in one turn if you get him out but only if the enemy can't stop battle damage and lacks a monster with battle immunity.
any monster with machine looking parts got altered to look natural, tristans shovel crusher had its metal robot claws and metal head changed to have crab claws and a lions head.
5 Headed Dragon is such a fun Gimmick. It does deserve some support cards tbh, like: -Dragon Reborn: Banish 1 Dragon from your GY, to Summon 2 Dragon Monsters from your GY. -Dragon Energy Fusion: Summon any Dragon Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. You still must use the correct Fusion Materials (From the Field or Hand), but You can substitute materials by paying in Multiples of 1000 LP for each Fusion Material you don't have available (On Field and in Hand). -Multi Headed Spirit Dragon: 9 Stars. Dragon/Fusion/Effect. Attack ???? / Defense 2500. Fusion Materials; 3 or more Dragon's. Effect; This monsters Attack becomes the Total of All Attack Points of the Fusion Material. This monster can be tributed (Not on the turn it was Fusion Summoned) to Special Summon, 5 Headed Dragon. If 5 Headed Dragon is Summoned by this method, Half of Multi Headed Spirit Dragon's Attack Points get added to 5 Headed Dragon's Attack, and the other Half of Multi Headed Spirit Dragon's Attack will be deducted from your LP. Yes, I made these cards up... but 5 Headed Dragon is an Epic card, it deserves Powerful Support!
@@boyankovachev7982 Damn, I thought I had it balanced pretty well. That's why I tried to add negative effects of everything, especially given the context of 5 Headed Dragon in the Anime. Being on the Evil side. Like, using this great beast has great consequence.
I love using the FHD and Future Fusion mixed with Red Eyes Wyvern to summon Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon. Toss in Pot of Avarice and you get a nice set up.
When I was playing around with a Charmer's deck and had some pendulum mechanics in it, Link Dragon was it's finisher and actually got the 5 element effect to go off a few times. By no means a completive deck, but was still fun.
Man F.G.D. was my jam on the GBA game "Yu-Gi-Oh GX duel academy" Surprisingly easy to bring out after a few turns (games were often longer back then) through masked dragon recruiting more on death and a few 2k defense dragons...
i experimented with the link retrain a bit in Master Duel in a Dragonmaids deck as an emergency boardwipe, since the Dragonmaids themselves fulfill the attributes required of it, and can still be handy in the GY. Never really found myself in a situation where i needed it, though.
"Duel Monsters Quest" is a mix of DnD and Duel Monsters. Now if only there was a more specific inspiration for Duel Monsters Quest. Duel Monsters... Quest. With Dragons. A DnD-like game famous in Japan with... Dragons and Quest. Hmmmm. If only there was a game with Dragon... Quest.
These are amazing. Love your yugioh trivia so much. Very informative. I wonder if at some point the gusto archetype would come though. One of my favorites
If you wanted to create an archetype for Five Headed Dragon (ignoring the inevitable lawsuit from WotC), might I suggest the dragon masks for the 5th Edition module Hoard of the Dragon Queen (which I've heard was kinda bad, but it was the first full length campaign they were doing for 5e)? There were 5 different dragon masks, each giving their wearer a different power. They could combine, and combining all five created an artifact that was necessary for the ritual to summon Tiamat from her prison in Avernus (the first lair of Hell). How the archetype could work is the five different Dragon Masks could be Union Monsters which give a buff and effect to the monster equipped with them, as well as an additional effect to Five Headed Dragon should it be used as Fusion Material. If all five Dragon Masks are used as Fusion Material (with Dragon's Mirror, of course), Five Headed Dragon would be more or less immune to everything but battle.
this makes me think back to Paradox in Bonds Beyond Time. Paradox went getting the most powerful dragons possible and yet FGD was completely skipped over when Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes were taken. Especially when the computer had FGD so it was completely accessible to Paradox.
To answer your question about FHLD, yes, it is worth it. The only way to destroy it is to use a stronger light monster, or to empty your opponent's graveyard. It can easily turn the tide of a duel when you play it and your opponent doesn't know what to do about it. I've won several duels using FHLD in my Armed Dragon deck
4kids could absolutely not get enough of this five headed annoyance lol! the big five twice, and again in grand championship , then AGAIN in capsule monsters!
Dragonic Tyrant of Five Realms Can be summoned multiple ways Fusion: 5 dragon monsters Synchro: 1+ Tuners + 1+ Non-Tuners Xyz: 2 Xyz monsters with the same rank with at least 3 Xyz materials between them Link: 5 monsters Counts as the monster cardtype based on its summoning method. Gains effects depending on the summon method.
So FHD was a reference to Tiamat while Blue Eyes may be a reference to Bahamut. That sounds really cool but now I am imaging what would happened if Kaiba met Bahamut and HE became his ace or Taimat. What am I talking about Kaiba's soul would never allow any other dragon to steal his heart other then Kisara I mean Blue Eyes lol. Still very interesting trivia TGS!
Honestly, I have the Link version in my current Super Quant deck basically as a last resort, where the idea is to use Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus's graveyard trigger effect to summon back to the field three Super Quantal Mech Beast monsters from the graveyard, and the quick play spell card Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal to summon one Super Quantal Mech Beast from the Extra Deck and a corresponding Super Quantum monsters from the Main Deck on the field in the event of Great Magnus's destruction. That gives me the 5 material necessary to summon Five-Headed Link Dragon, although it doesn't get the bonus field clearing effect through this method, since it pretty much guarantees that it would only get the Fire, Water, and Wind attribute out of the five necessary, as there would basically always be a Light attribute in the mix.
7:30 it is worth if you run a skill drain deck and also it can be useful if you run any token deck cuz the cards say 5 monsters so tokens are allowed to summon it.
I still think it's a shame we never got the ritual version back in the day, largely because it was one of only a few cases back then and even now of ritual summoning that didn't depend on the sacrifice's levels. It took tributes of each attribute except for LIGHT and DIVINE, which would typically be 5 monsters (though some like Elemental Mistress Doriado could be all 5 at once), but didn't seem to have any level requirement, which for something that's usually a -6 is just as well tbf. I've probably forgotten something along the way, but to my knowledge we didn't get printed cards capable of ritual summoning using a property of the tributes other than total levels until Drytron with their ability to summon using ATK values instead. Rituals as a summoning method could've been way more versatile from the very start by having "different practises for conducting different rituals"; not just different spells for each monster but those spells using different processes. Some still care about levels, others requiring the tribute(s) have the appropriate attribute/ type, or potentially any other "material demand" we've seen on extra deck monsters. So in my mind Five Headed Dragon (Ritual) is like an old example representing what could've been, but what we ultimately didn't really get, and it'd have spiced up those old terrible ritual monsters so much if they actually had different summoning requirements. The Drytron ritual spell literally summons anything like it's trying to compensate for the fact they hadn't used the idea yet in the last 20 years. Even most Nomi/ Semi-Nomi monsters have built in summoning methods that make sense in the context of it being a ritualistic practise required to successfully summon this powerful monster; Sacred Beasts and their 3 sacrifices of specific types of cards, Masked Beast Des Gardius taking 2 tributes including a specific monster, Dark Necrofear needing 3 fiends to be banished from the grave (In the manga it fits even closer to the idea of conducting a ritual due to needing those monsters to have been destroyed by battle while in attack position). While it's fine that they aren't, a lot of them would have fit right in under the "Ritual" name even if they don't mesh with standard ritual mechanics as they've come to be known.
I would like an archetype explained on the despia, branded, tri brigade, springan and swordsoul as I think it is rather interesting but I can't get an explanation anywhere else. Thanks for all the work you put in I'm every thing you produce and I will always support your work
Fun fact tiamat and, Bahamut is also used in final fantasy. Both are espers/idelin, dragon type, while tiamat was wind evil, Bahamut was in some light as well as the most powerful of summons and, good. Also had access to a very powerful spell flare or nuke as translations before ff8 when they changed it.
I was looking for Tiamat and Bahamut allusion. Was not disappointed. 3:58 That's not Bahamut btw, that's a white dragon Icingdeath. 4:17 And that's Bahamut from Final Fantasy (it is based on D&D anyway).
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards...JESUS! How addicting the classic Game Boy game was, and inserting the 8 (9?) code numbers of the old school Yu-Gi-Oh! irl cards into the game by a Gameshop machine.
I remember owning the sacred cards, and having to use Slifer and trap cards in order to beat it. I even made Slifer an unstoppable beat stick using mountains and having as many cards as possible b4 summoning it. The next turn is was flipped as a 9000+ atk and def wall.
There were actually 3 warriors that defeated the 5 Headed Dragon in the Virtual World Arc between Yugi and Joey: -Dark Flare Knight -Mirage Knight -Dark Magician Knight
If Konami was to provide support for these two, here is what I recommend for each category (monster, spell, and trap): Monster: either retrained version of the dragons used to summon FHD in the Capsule Monsters Arc (forgot about that time, didn’t you) or a monster based off of each of its heads; as well as baby versions of each dragon with similar but less powerful effects! Spell: a non-ritual version of “Dragon Revival Ritual” that destroys all monsters on the field when FHD is summoned and inflicts 500 damage for each one but it can’t attack that turn! Trap: maybe a trap fusion card, or just attack negation against Light Monsters!
I have a (i think) bootlegged version of FHD, got it from along with the majority of my collection from a flea market for like 1 dollar....love it, which reminds me that I need to finish making/improving my FHD deck.
Hey, been bouncing this custom card idea around for a while on TH-cam, you think this would be good in the actual game?: _Seven-Headed Pendulum Dragon_ (DARK) Level 12 Pendulum effect: _During either turn, You may banish any number of Dragon or Wyrm monsters with different attributes from your hand, field or GY; activate the following effect(s) depending on the attribute(s) of the monster banished, you can then special summon this card from your pendulum zone, ignoring its summoning conditions, after this effect resolves (You may only use each of these effects once per turn, and you cannot attack this turn):_ ⚫️: FIRE Destroy 1 card on the field⚫️: WATER return 1 card from either GY to its owners hand, OR gain 4000 LP⚫️: WIND shuffle 1 card in either players hand into their deck⚫️ EARTH: Target 1 facedown card on the field; It cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect until the end of this turn⚫️ DARK: Negate the effects of 1 card on the field until the end of this turn⚫️ LIGHT: 1 card on the field gains original ATK and/or DEF equal to the ATK or DEF of the monster banished (your choice) ⚫️ DIVINE: Flip all other cards on the field facedown; immediately afterwards special summon 1 Divine-Beast monster from your hand, deck or GY, ignoring its summoning conditions. Pendulum Scale: *0* [Dragon/Pendulum/Fusion/Effect] 7+ Dragon or Wyrm Monsters _Must either be fusion summoned with the above cards or pendulum summoned. This card cannot be destroyed, except by DIVINE monsters and battle by LIGHT monsters. Once per turn (quick effect), you may place this card in your pendulum zone. Once per turn (quick effect), you can change the type and/or attribute of 1 or more monsters on the field or in your hand. You may banish up to 9 cards from your extra deck (quick effect); choose one of the following effects for every 3 cards you banish (until the beginning of the second turn after you activate this effect, cards placed/summoned/set onto the field by this effect have their effects negated and cannot attack):_ ⚫️Place any number of pendulum monsters from your hand or extra deck into your pendulum zone(s). You can only use this effect once per turn. ⚫️Special summon up to 3 pendulum monsters to your main monster zones from your hand or extra deck. You can only use this effect twice per turn _This card cannot attack the turn you use this effect._ ATK/5000 DEF/5000
Okay, don't get me wrong; I love this so much, but THIS IS STUPID BEYOND GAMEBREAKING. If I can, let me edit something. That extra deck banish 9 cards idea you have needs some work. For 1, maybe have it 7 cards (referencing how the name of your monster has 7 in it), and don't make it a quick-effect. 2, either maybe choose 1 monster's effect and not 3 (Imagine using this effect for Dragoon, Fleur, and Crusadia Avramax), or at least let it have a condition. Let's say the condition requires banishing Dragon-only monsters. I'm glad you have a "cannot attack" condition, but I have a feeling you can still FTK even with those effects.
@@CornaOnTheCob I figured since it was 7+ material fusion that can’t really be cheated out all that easy, I could get away with an otherwise incredibly powerful effect. Plus the mass extra deck banish is supposed to be even MORE resource intensive at full power. It’s a card that gets results, but I made this in mind considering how much meta players focus on “card advantage”. The phrase keeps coming up in Duel Logs, often as a main reason why otherwise good cards don’t see play. I’m busy at the moment, but when I get a chance I’ll tighten up the effects a bit.
@@CornaOnTheCob Oh, and before anyone asks (I get that question a lot), I specify Wyrm monsters as well as Dragons because Wyrms are basically dragon monsters anyway, but the type was made to make sure the actual dragon type wasn’t the most over saturated monster type in the game. I mean take a look at True King Of All Calamities and tell me that isn’t a straight up dragon. And if I’m going to have a 7+ fusion I may as well throw in a bone to make it halfway possible to fusion summon properly. I also considered real world things that dragons influenced or were influenced by: fairies, fiend’s, reptiles, dinosaurs, sea serpents, winged beasts and even fish were all also considered (_maybe_ beast-warriors too, regular beasts are more aligned with mammals or sometimes amphibians.)

Would a Five-Headed Blue-Eyes White Dragon fit in this category? Like, it could be a fusion monster and its materials could be five blue-eyes dragon monsters.
Although a cool concept, I don't think blue eyes would fit with Kaiba's business rivals. I can see a new master of dragon knight though. Maybe any blue-eyes monster + any chaos monster.
Which is actually what I think is going to happen, so that Dark Magician of Chaos can fuse with Blue-Eyes, ***and we finally get Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes merging.
@@s.plissken_91
Red-Eyes has Dark Dragoon.
Next can be Blue-Eyes Shining Paladin.
There are a few archetypes that already cover all elements too. Dragon maid would work nice. Though I'd prefer aromas or magical girls with a DNA surgery in play.
Five Headed Dragon also made an appearance in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters mini-series but was defeated by Yugi who used the power of blue eyes white dragon.
Came here to make this comment
Considering that the link version of five headed dragon is unaffected by other card effects and is a massive beat stick that can ONLY die in battle to a light attribute monster, makes it worth the maintenance cost in my opinion
Until it gets a kaiju slapped on top of it lol, but you can say that about almost everything so still not bad, and when people run things like Fairy Tale Snow i dont think banishing 5 from grave is much of a cost for some decks lmao
Even better in a Dino deck with tyrano infinity that gets stronger the more Dino’s are banished
@@thecheneytribe5439 Gren Maju Monkagiga
Unless you bring out cards that can remove the cards from the GY, like rainbow neos and evigishki mind augis, and stall with other cards that will make FHLD unable to do anything... Or just put imperial iron wall and the dragon goes to the GY

Five Headed Dragon is a cool monster and it’s Link retrain is good too. Could you please do the Nekroz archetype lore next?
Honestly the more I've gotten into DnD, the more I'm noticing all the references and inspirations in YGO, especially in the earlier years.
Kind of surprised no one has made a TTRPG based on Duelist Kingdom or the game talked about here yet.
Because Konami, in all of their infinite greed, hasn't realized the lowest hanging fruit that people have been begging for. And yes I genuinely have heard people say they'd want some variant of Monster Quest to be made into a real game.
It's always stupid, short sighted greed that keeps us from having nice things... >:( Screw it, I'm gonna jot this down and see if I can't homebrew something unofficial when I get time lol
Another major issue is, in the U.S. at least, DnD is the largest and only reasonably respected TTRPG 'of the mind', and it's also owned by Wizards of the Coast, who own Magic: The Gathering. As much as I know we would all love to see an official yugioh module for DnD, it's like saying you want to see Kratos in Smash bros., it's just not happening. If Konami did strike a deal with another company to simulate ygo in ttrpg, it would be a massive risk on their part, as not only would it require development of a whole new system, which would take years, but it would *need* to be supported for multiple years afterward to see any profitable returns. At least, if we're being honest. While it sounds like greed, it's business basics, especially for a large corporation like Konami, a few bad moves and a failed risk could put the whole company on edge.
Now, if somebody wanted to develop a basic system for the ttrpg, and then bring it up to konami executives, if they'll even listen to you, that would be the best way to go about it. You see, corporations require something tangible most of the time, before they're willing to put any of their own effort into it. Boards don't like fantasies, and that's what this would ultimately be for them.
And now I have some ideas involving GURPS and my massive collection of cards...
i mean, the original concept by Takahashi himself in the Manga was a card game called like, Magic and Wizards or something. I forget the exact translation. But suffice to say i don't doubt there's some kind of DnD/MtG inspiration behind it. MtG did debut in 1993 after all, 3 years before the Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga.
@@lethalButters You're aware that figure you're quoting isn't annual revenue, but total revenue correct? Otherwise you're absolutely right. I make the same argument with Pokemon all the time. They can afford to make mistakes and misteps, because they have so much money that a normal person would be set for their entire life if they had that kind of cash.
Even then being in the top 25 highest grossing IPs of all time, the vast majority above them being Disney, and Nintendo. Konami could easily splurge.
In our childhood, we used to believe that you must use Darkfire Dragon, Metal Dragon, Serpent Night Dragon/Red-Eyes and two other dragons like Curse of Dragon, Tri-Horned, Seiyaryu, Hyozanryu, Tyrant Dragon, Luster Dragon, Thousand Dragon etc. in order to summon it. We argued why a certain dragon can or can't be used lol
Ideally, the Link Monster would be used as a final push to deal with all the opponent’s remaining cards on the field. It could work in something like Dragonmaids or Dragon Link, assuming the latter has enough dragons of various Attributes. Ideally, the maintenance cost wouldn’t come into play as the duel would end the same turn it is summoned.
Dragon Link usually only runs dark and light attribute dragons
This could be used in a Fur Hire deck. They can get all these Attributes out relatively quickly with their summoning effects and trigger effects.
Looking at a video on Five Headed Dragon, it makes me think there’s potential for a “Was The Big Five about to defeat Yugi and Joey?”. One instance is when Nezbitt takes over from Johnson; had Johnson got another turn, used his deck master’s effect to banish all of their monster’s, destroy Mirror Force with Heavy Storm and attack Joey directly with Machine King defeating him. Yugi would be at a huge disadvantage at this point and would likely loss.
Yugi would definitely lose in that scenario, because he would not be able to summon the mirage knight or the dark magician knight without Joeys help, and he doesnt have Slifer in this duel, so I really dont know what he could possibly do against Five headed dragon on his own.

Just a fun fact I thought was worth mentioning, I always felt like FGDs design was based specifically on Tiamat's depiction in the anime Record of Lodoss war, if you look up the anime's OP it appears towards the end.
For a semi iconic boss monster from the DM Era, I’m suprised it doesn’t have an archetype yet. It could be seeing the individual dragons each with different effects. And hell, shove Red-Eyes in there since the dark head looks like it anyways
Honestly... I prefer to use Greater Polymerization when fusion summoning FHD. Giving it immunity to Edit (card effects) as well as inflicting piercing damage makes it extra deadly.
Now THAT is boss monster stats!
and the one effect that kills me *cannot be destroyed in battle*
Not bad, assuming it doesn’t get negated before you get it off
Five-Headed Link Dragon's summoning condition is very easy to meet, since it just requires any five monsters at minimum, so you can abuse token strats with him.
He's the main monster on my kuriboh deck and I've had the chance to play two on the same turn on Master Duel. It's crazy seeing opponents try to remove it by any means and failing due to being unnafected.
I'd honestly love to see a Deck that could abuse it. It can kind of get stuck by Nibiru though pre-summoning (Nibiru won't work once it's out though since the mass-Tributing is an effect).
The issue is his maintenance cost
Maintenance cost is a bitch tho
@@theclosecall4095 I've heard you can bypass it with majestys fiend

I’ve loved this series for a while now, but this is Egyptian God level of Divine timing. Yesterday my D&D group had our 4th to last session of what’s been a four-year long campaign where Tiamat was revealed as the final boss.
Edit / Update: We defeated her!!! And fittingly enough, one of the contributing factors to our win was the arrival of a sorcerer / paladin of Bahamut NPC we’d befriended halfway through the campaign who happened to be a young platinum dragon in disguise!!!
“Five …….Headed ……..Dragon”
5 Headed Dragon was my overkill card back in 2014 with Hieratic Dragons. Hehe
Yes! This!
based af
Same here! Only for me, my deck was my take on a variant of Disaster Dragon.
This was a DOPE episode and I love that you tied it into D&D and Tiamat/Bahamut!! Excellent!!! 😃😊
Watch out! It’s the FIVE FILLER DRAGON!!!
Legendary Heroes, Virtual World, Grand Championship, and Capsule Monsters (Definitely counts) ...Nope, that's 1 head of filler appearances short, buddy.
I would love a fusion or ritual version that gained different effects for each element you use as material.
Fire - added damage when destroying a monster
Water - attack again after destroying something
Dark - if target isn't destroyed by battle, banish it
Wind - Piercing battle damage
Earth - Can switch battle position at end of turn
Something like that.
I remember five headed dragon also appearing in the animated version of capsule monster colloseum and yugi fusing together with blue eyes white dragon to defeat it :O
5-Headed Dragon was an incredibly strong monster when it first came out, but as the years followed, monsters evolved with crazy skills and other cards and archetypes also evolved. Some players can special summon 20 monsters on just 1 turn with no problem. Certainly, 5-Headed Dragon can’t compete with that.
Due to the massive summoning requirement and lack of protection for spell/traps it wasn’t really strong at all when it came out. It was too much investment for a card that could be stopped by mirror force, fissure, dark hole ect
You mentioned the Future Fusion/Dragon's Mirror combo, but you forgot to bring up another hilarious thing you could do with this: dump a bunch of fodder you could revive with Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, use for synchros and stuff, *then* Dragon's Mirror them once your combos were done.
or dump use future fusion to dump all of white stones of legends get 3 blue eyes and them easily fuse them into ultiamte dragon or ritual sumon chaos max dragon
When you see Toons being played and wanna see this dragon have a Toon version of itself and be the first ever Toon fusion card or be a toon version of the Link-summoned counterpart! That would be AWESOME AF!
Five-Headed Dragon: Only a Light Knight can kill me.
Magical Musketeers: Hold my beer.
if only we had that grass looks greener I'm sure the link retrain could be a really fun tech for dragon links and to be honest I kind of wanna see it now xD
Still it really feels like the dragon rulers were kind of made for that card, idk it kind of fits the theme because we already had a lot of dark monster.
Anyway to anyone that sees this comment, have a nice day
*The Headed/God Dragon Archetype*
Make it like the A to Z series,
Give it all 5 dragons and let it fuse with different combinations of said dragons.
I think the sound of Hot Headed Dragon would be cool.
Hear this: 5 main deck dragons, one for each attribute, if they are used as fusion material for a dragon tipe fusion monster that monster gets an addictional effect from each one of them
Back in the day I used to include FHD and Dragon’s Mirror in basically all of my Dragon decks as a sort of emergency ace. As time has gone on I use it less and less, even in decks where I could conceivably use it with ease. I should make a deck for it, if for nothing else than for casual nostalgia.
There's a lot of decent fusion support spells and traps to kinda make it viable granted it's best to use Dragonmaid thar way you won't be hard locked
@@benoliver5593 Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. It’s already a fusion focused archetype and is made up of dragons, so it can actually be used as a monster as opposed to an equip card like in the Cyberdark deck I last used it in.
@@MasterArchfiend cyberdark decks don’t even use FHD as equips anymore. They instead use CED to get out CDED
One of my favorite cards to this day I never thought about it maybe getting an archetype but now that you've put that idea in my head I want it so bad
The monster world and 5 headed dragon's arc is a shining example of who Yu-Gi-Oh needs an open world RPG full of lore
During my high school days in 2006/2007, this was my alt win con. Thanks to it's massive attack and semi generic materials. It can act both as Graveyard setup and close out a game if the field is open at the drop of a Dragon's Mirror. And I loved it so.
I realized something, if Arc-V had a ritual dimension we could have had a new version of the 5-headed Dragon using the 5 dimensional dragons (Pendulum, Syncro, Xyz, Fusion and Ritual) as material, in fact, the Dragon of the Supreme King Z-Arc could have been a 5-headed dimensional dragon. Actually, even without the 5th, the Z-Arc Supreme King's Dragon could have been a 4-headed dimensional dragon and it would still be very interesting.
This brings back so many memories of me as a kid binge watching the original Yu-Gi-Oh series seeing this card on the TV screen I miss young version of me ,my childhood and so many things I really want to go back and fix
I'd argue the virtual arc is one of the most well remembered.
It's important to mention that each head of FHD are:
- Serpent Night Dragon (Dark)
- Aqua Dragon (Water)
- Luster Dragon 2/Metal Dragon (Wind)
- Meteor Dragon (Earth)
- Darkfire Dragon / Tyrant Dragon (Fire)
Are you sure about the earth one? Doesn’t look anything like meteor dragon and the others just sounds so random
@@TheKpa11 yeah, it's not made up, it's stuff that I watched from the anime and the wiki page states the same thing.
That 2006 card was couterfeited so much back then
yeah, for me, and most likely a lot of other people, 5 headed dragon was and still is a cool fusion monster. yes it has its downsides and the link dragon has a high maintenance cost, but at he end of the day, both are still really powerful cards that were at the pinnacle of power at their respective times of release given that a majority of the deck is dedicated to getting them out, helping them stay out, and protecting them from the many forms of destruction like Raigeki, banish effects, negate of their summon, etc. Overall, a great card to have for nostalgia's sake, but not much else considering how easy it is to get rid of it. Great video overall. By the way, can you please do archetype videos for the Nekroz and D/D/D's as well please. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would love to see those videos and get a ton of views. anyways keep up the great work and stay safe.
Fun fact, for those that don't know, the dragons that were used in Duel Monster Quest are:
-Red Eyes Black Dragon
-Curse of Dragon
-Harpie's Pet Dragon
.....and of course, the Big 5s Mythic Dragon. (Yes, Blue Eyes was also used, but it was later tributed for the fusion summon of Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon)
Making these 8 dragons the perfect power boost for Dragon Master Knight, since it has base 5000 attack point, each of those dragons gave 500 additional attack points to the ultimate beast. 4000 points worth, giving Dragon Master Knight 9000 attack.
Yes, Mythic Dragon is a combination of different types of dragons, each with their attributes, however their individual head forms had their power sucked into DMK, 500 points for each.
Finally, its worth noting that although Curse of Dragon, along with Gaia the Fierece Knight, was used to Ritual Summon the OG Black Luster Soldier, it also had its power added to DMK.
Oh god, its back. This thing showed up in damn near every filler arc of Duel Monsters era.
“Can only be destroyed in battle by a LIGHT monster…”
Or a DIVINE monster. Or, you know, Raigeki.
3:48 if anyone is curious as to the movie from where this Bahamut comes from
It's Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Complete

Thanks! I knew it looked familiar!
@@CornaOnTheCob it's because I've seen that visually gorgeous movie endless amount of times because wow!!!
That movie is amazing especially for 2006
Yeah it's that old
A DnD archetype styled around chromatic dragon's and dragon cultists focused on summoning Tiamat, the five-headed queen of evil dragons.
Lots of dice rolling effects and cards that grand protection and extra effects to to five-headed dragon.
Five-Headed Dragon: AKA "You're watching filler when you see this boy!"
Back in the day, this monster was decent for big stats, but it's not good at all due to power creep, but it's still memorable.
I wish there was a supporting archetype for five headed dragon, that would be "dragon of elements" like Singe, dragon of elements, Noir, dragon of elements, or other dragon of elements which if you use them for a monster that mentions at least two attributes on it with at least one being their attribute and the other being any other attribute besides light or devine, they give an additional effect to that monster with there being baby and adult versions of the "dragon of elements" and there wouldn't be a light one or a devine one to prevent unnecessary chaos support, and their spell and traps are similar to the Charmers but only can be used on cards that mention at least two non light or devine attributes, and they give the pseudo archetype element a boost as well as desert twister. That would be a fun deck to experiment with in my opinion
Funny thing about Blue eyes and Bahamut is that Bahamut is the father the metallic dragons of dnd which are typically order aligned and benevolent monsters as opposed to their chromatic brethren that are varying degrees of chaos/evil. Blue eyes often gets joked about looking more and more metallic/robotic over the years in new artworks but really it just cause that’s how the metal dragons of DnD are like with the platinum white dragon, Bahumut standing above all others; gold silver, bronze and copper (amongst many others)
Five Headed Dragon is such an awesome Dragon Fusion monster and it's so OP
It makes its 1st debut in Duel Monsters Quest arc, then reappears in the Virtual World arc, Kaiba Land WC arc and later on Capsule Monsters arc in DM. And finally it makes its final appearance in Season 4 of GX
0:08
Utopia the Lightning: Nice joke… Wait, you’re serious…?
I wonder why Kaiba never had a Five Headed Dragon in his deck....he had so many dragon cards
FGD also appeared during the Capsule Monsters arc, which was literally invincible except against the "White Dragon" i.e Blue-Eyes.
It was also part of the Underworld Deck's Fusion Deck but it was never summoned.
The following text is from the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki page, "Card Storylines"
Petit Dragon began his journey becoming the familiar of Wynn, gaining more power as they both grew stronger. One day he decided he wanted to be able to breath fire, so he sought out a plant to give him this power. However, once he ate the plant his body ignited, and he was turned into a vicious dragon.
Bent on becoming a more threatening force, he combined powers with four other dragons, making them all become nearly invincible, until the day when they were defeated by a powerful foe. The knight sealed Darkfire Dragon's soul inside a sword. This sword was then wielded by the Flame Swordsman.
That’s really weird, I use Future Fusion-Five Headed Dragon combo but I didn’t know Trueman did too.
But I’ve never used Dragon’s Mirror with it too.
🤔 have to give that a try
Do not try doing this is the more recent games as Future Fusion got an erotta where the first part of it’s effect happens on the turn after you first activate it.
Otherwise, have fun summoning out the big dwagon
More fusion monsters that require 5 monsters of the same type, with a conditions on the fusion materials
Five Headed Dragon for DRAGONS
Quintet Magician for SPELLCASTERS (5 spellcasters with different names).
for WARRIORS it would probably specify that the 5 materials have to be warriors with different attributes.
Nah, Warriors should be different levels and he equips his materials, gains their combined stats and an attack for each with a one turn immunity to card effects. You can easily win in one turn if you get him out but only if the enemy can't stop battle damage and lacks a monster with battle immunity.
It’s appearance in Capsule Monsters was a little strange from what I remember since it had a rocky earth head instead of the metal one
any monster with machine looking parts got altered to look natural, tristans shovel crusher had its metal robot claws and metal head changed to have crab claws and a lions head.
5 Headed Dragon is such a fun Gimmick. It does deserve some support cards tbh, like:
-Dragon Reborn: Banish 1 Dragon from your GY, to Summon 2 Dragon Monsters from your GY.
-Dragon Energy Fusion: Summon any Dragon Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. You still must use the correct Fusion Materials (From the Field or Hand), but You can substitute materials by paying in Multiples of 1000 LP for each Fusion Material you don't have available (On Field and in Hand).
-Multi Headed Spirit Dragon: 9 Stars. Dragon/Fusion/Effect. Attack ???? / Defense 2500. Fusion Materials; 3 or more Dragon's. Effect; This monsters Attack becomes the Total of All Attack Points of the Fusion Material. This monster can be tributed (Not on the turn it was Fusion Summoned) to Special Summon, 5 Headed Dragon. If 5 Headed Dragon is Summoned by this method, Half of Multi Headed Spirit Dragon's Attack Points get added to 5 Headed Dragon's Attack, and the other Half of Multi Headed Spirit Dragon's Attack will be deducted from your LP.
Yes, I made these cards up... but 5 Headed Dragon is an Epic card, it deserves Powerful Support!

These are amazing. Love your yugioh trivia so much. Very informative. I wonder if at some point the gusto archetype would come though. One of my favorites
If you wanted to create an archetype for Five Headed Dragon (ignoring the inevitable lawsuit from WotC), might I suggest the dragon masks for the 5th Edition module Hoard of the Dragon Queen (which I've heard was kinda bad, but it was the first full length campaign they were doing for 5e)? There were 5 different dragon masks, each giving their wearer a different power. They could combine, and combining all five created an artifact that was necessary for the ritual to summon Tiamat from her prison in Avernus (the first lair of Hell).
How the archetype could work is the five different Dragon Masks could be Union Monsters which give a buff and effect to the monster equipped with them, as well as an additional effect to Five Headed Dragon should it be used as Fusion Material. If all five Dragon Masks are used as Fusion Material (with Dragon's Mirror, of course), Five Headed Dragon would be more or less immune to everything but battle.
i know it would a hell of long video, but i would love to see one about the blackwing archetype, it's my main archetype
this makes me think back to Paradox in Bonds Beyond Time. Paradox went getting the most powerful dragons possible and yet FGD was completely skipped over when Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes were taken. Especially when the computer had FGD so it was completely accessible to Paradox.

This has actually been of my most favorite monsters from when I first played, simply because I thought it looked really cool, LOL.
To answer your question about FHLD, yes, it is worth it. The only way to destroy it is to use a stronger light monster, or to empty your opponent's graveyard. It can easily turn the tide of a duel when you play it and your opponent doesn't know what to do about it. I've won several duels using FHLD in my Armed Dragon deck
4:05 Of course Bahamut reminds me of Final Fantasy
I'm pretty sure the metal one is EARTH and the yellow one in the middle is WIND, not the other way around
4kids could absolutely not get enough of this five headed annoyance lol! the big five twice, and again in grand championship , then AGAIN in capsule monsters!
The dragon original series loved using in filler arcs. Virtual world arcs, Grand Championship and even Capsule Monsters
Dragonic Tyrant of Five Realms
Can be summoned multiple ways
Fusion: 5 dragon monsters
Synchro: 1+ Tuners + 1+ Non-Tuners
Xyz: 2 Xyz monsters with the same rank with at least 3 Xyz materials between them
Link: 5 monsters
Counts as the monster cardtype based on its summoning method.
Gains effects depending on the summon method.
So FHD was a reference to Tiamat while Blue Eyes may be a reference to Bahamut. That sounds really cool but now I am imaging what would happened if Kaiba met Bahamut and HE became his ace or Taimat. What am I talking about Kaiba's soul would never allow any other dragon to steal his heart other then Kisara I mean Blue Eyes lol. Still very interesting trivia TGS!
YES!! MORE VIDEOS FROM THIS CREATOR!! My dopamine levels are now through the roof.
I wish the yugioh monsters would come onto the field like they do in the anime, in the yugioh duel links game
Honestly, I have the Link version in my current Super Quant deck basically as a last resort, where the idea is to use Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus's graveyard trigger effect to summon back to the field three Super Quantal Mech Beast monsters from the graveyard, and the quick play spell card Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal to summon one Super Quantal Mech Beast from the Extra Deck and a corresponding Super Quantum monsters from the Main Deck on the field in the event of Great Magnus's destruction. That gives me the 5 material necessary to summon Five-Headed Link Dragon, although it doesn't get the bonus field clearing effect through this method, since it pretty much guarantees that it would only get the Fire, Water, and Wind attribute out of the five necessary, as there would basically always be a Light attribute in the mix.
7:30 it is worth if you run a skill drain deck and also it can be useful if you run any token deck cuz the cards say 5 monsters so tokens are allowed to summon it.
I still think it's a shame we never got the ritual version back in the day, largely because it was one of only a few cases back then and even now of ritual summoning that didn't depend on the sacrifice's levels. It took tributes of each attribute except for LIGHT and DIVINE, which would typically be 5 monsters (though some like Elemental Mistress Doriado could be all 5 at once), but didn't seem to have any level requirement, which for something that's usually a -6 is just as well tbf.
I've probably forgotten something along the way, but to my knowledge we didn't get printed cards capable of ritual summoning using a property of the tributes other than total levels until Drytron with their ability to summon using ATK values instead. Rituals as a summoning method could've been way more versatile from the very start by having "different practises for conducting different rituals"; not just different spells for each monster but those spells using different processes. Some still care about levels, others requiring the tribute(s) have the appropriate attribute/ type, or potentially any other "material demand" we've seen on extra deck monsters. So in my mind Five Headed Dragon (Ritual) is like an old example representing what could've been, but what we ultimately didn't really get, and it'd have spiced up those old terrible ritual monsters so much if they actually had different summoning requirements. The Drytron ritual spell literally summons anything like it's trying to compensate for the fact they hadn't used the idea yet in the last 20 years.
Even most Nomi/ Semi-Nomi monsters have built in summoning methods that make sense in the context of it being a ritualistic practise required to successfully summon this powerful monster; Sacred Beasts and their 3 sacrifices of specific types of cards, Masked Beast Des Gardius taking 2 tributes including a specific monster, Dark Necrofear needing 3 fiends to be banished from the grave (In the manga it fits even closer to the idea of conducting a ritual due to needing those monsters to have been destroyed by battle while in attack position). While it's fine that they aren't, a lot of them would have fit right in under the "Ritual" name even if they don't mesh with standard ritual mechanics as they've come to be known.
I would like an archetype explained on the despia, branded, tri brigade, springan and swordsoul as I think it is rather interesting but I can't get an explanation anywhere else. Thanks for all the work you put in I'm every thing you produce and I will always support your work
well on the topic of elemental dragons, it'd be cool if you covered the dragon rulers & true kings and the parallels between them as well as lore
Fun fact tiamat and, Bahamut is also used in final fantasy. Both are espers/idelin, dragon type, while tiamat was wind evil, Bahamut was in some light as well as the most powerful of summons and, good. Also had access to a very powerful spell flare or nuke as translations before ff8 when they changed it.
Iirc in BE (Brave Exvius), Bahamut was also the most powerful ester to exist and I think many still use him
I was looking for Tiamat and Bahamut allusion. Was not disappointed.

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards...JESUS! How addicting the classic Game Boy game was, and inserting the 8 (9?) code numbers of the old school Yu-Gi-Oh! irl cards into the game by a Gameshop machine.

-Dark Magician Knight
Love the dnd tie in! Both great games.
Really looking forward to the phantom knights video!!
with its full effect, it may be worth it as a game closer, but not a sustained duel once summoned.
I like Five headed dragon but Gotta admit, it's NOT a Well aged boss monster.
If Konami was to provide support for these two, here is what I recommend for each category (monster, spell, and trap):
Monster: either retrained version of the dragons used to summon FHD in the Capsule Monsters Arc (forgot about that time, didn’t you) or a monster based off of each of its heads; as well as baby versions of each dragon with similar but less powerful effects!
Spell: a non-ritual version of “Dragon Revival Ritual” that destroys all monsters on the field when FHD is summoned and inflicts 500 damage for each one but it can’t attack that turn!
Trap: maybe a trap fusion card, or just attack negation against Light Monsters!
I have a (i think) bootlegged version of FHD, got it from along with the majority of my collection from a flea market for like 1 dollar....love it, which reminds me that I need to finish making/improving my FHD deck.
can you do a yugioh trivia for supreme king? its my second favorite archetype and i love your videos
this bahamat connection has made blue eyes a arcatype I am actually willing to play, thank you
I wish they made each Dragonhead their own monster like they have a entire body to themselves
Some seriously though, I was expecting the 5 head God Dragon to has related to a Pendulum mechanic or maybe even having an Exceed Counterpart.
4:01 Hey it's Holywing Dragon from Shadowverse and funny enough Bahamut is there as well.
Hey, been bouncing this custom card idea around for a while on TH-cam, you think this would be good in the actual game?:
_Seven-Headed Pendulum Dragon_ (DARK)
Level 12
Pendulum effect: _During either turn, You may banish any number of Dragon or Wyrm monsters with different attributes from your hand, field or GY; activate the following effect(s) depending on the attribute(s) of the monster banished, you can then special summon this card from your pendulum zone, ignoring its summoning conditions, after this effect resolves (You may only use each of these effects once per turn, and you cannot attack this turn):_ ⚫️: FIRE Destroy 1 card on the field⚫️: WATER return 1 card from either GY to its owners hand, OR gain 4000 LP⚫️: WIND shuffle 1 card in either players hand into their deck⚫️ EARTH: Target 1 facedown card on the field; It cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect until the end of this turn⚫️ DARK: Negate the effects of 1 card on the field until the end of this turn⚫️ LIGHT: 1 card on the field gains original ATK and/or DEF equal to the ATK or DEF of the monster banished (your choice) ⚫️ DIVINE: Flip all other cards on the field facedown; immediately afterwards special summon 1 Divine-Beast monster from your hand, deck or GY, ignoring its summoning conditions.
Pendulum Scale: *0*
[Dragon/Pendulum/Fusion/Effect]
7+ Dragon or Wyrm Monsters
_Must either be fusion summoned with the above cards or pendulum summoned. This card cannot be destroyed, except by DIVINE monsters and battle by LIGHT monsters. Once per turn (quick effect), you may place this card in your pendulum zone. Once per turn (quick effect), you can change the type and/or attribute of 1 or more monsters on the field or in your hand. You may banish up to 9 cards from your extra deck (quick effect); choose one of the following effects for every 3 cards you banish (until the beginning of the second turn after you activate this effect, cards placed/summoned/set onto the field by this effect have their effects negated and cannot attack):_
⚫️Place any number of pendulum monsters from your hand or extra deck into your pendulum zone(s). You can only use this effect once per turn.
⚫️Special summon up to 3 pendulum monsters to your main monster zones from your hand or extra deck. You can only use this effect twice per turn
_This card cannot attack the turn you use this effect._
ATK/5000 DEF/5000
Okay, don't get me wrong; I love this so much, but THIS IS STUPID BEYOND GAMEBREAKING. If I can, let me edit something.
That extra deck banish 9 cards idea you have needs some work. For 1, maybe have it 7 cards (referencing how the name of your monster has 7 in it), and don't make it a quick-effect. 2, either maybe choose 1 monster's effect and not 3 (Imagine using this effect for Dragoon, Fleur, and Crusadia Avramax), or at least let it have a condition. Let's say the condition requires banishing Dragon-only monsters.
I'm glad you have a "cannot attack" condition, but I have a feeling you can still FTK even with those effects.

I figured since it was 7+ material fusion that can’t really be cheated out all that easy, I could get away with an otherwise incredibly powerful effect. Plus the mass extra deck banish is supposed to be even MORE resource intensive at full power. It’s a card that gets results, but I made this in mind considering how much meta players focus on “card advantage”. The phrase keeps coming up in Duel Logs, often as a main reason why otherwise good cards don’t see play. I’m busy at the moment, but when I get a chance I’ll tighten up the effects a bit.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire Ok. You've got a good thing going with Seven-Headed Pendulum Dragon :)
@@CornaOnTheCob
Oh, and before anyone asks (I get that question a lot), I specify Wyrm monsters as well as Dragons because Wyrms are basically dragon monsters anyway, but the type was made to make sure the actual dragon type wasn’t the most over saturated monster type in the game. I mean take a look at True King Of All Calamities and tell me that isn’t a straight up dragon. And if I’m going to have a 7+ fusion I may as well throw in a bone to make it halfway possible to fusion summon properly. I also considered real world things that dragons influenced or were influenced by: fairies, fiend’s, reptiles, dinosaurs, sea serpents, winged beasts and even fish were all also considered (_maybe_ beast-warriors too, regular beasts are more aligned with mammals or sometimes amphibians.)
there are no Divine wyrms or dragons in yugioh, so the devine effect will never go off.
