Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Cards Based on Konami Video Games
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- With Konami being the company behind many video games and the distribution of Yu-Gi-Oh, there tends to be some crossover, all intentional. Konami loves to add our favorite characters and ships from iconic video games into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh. Sometimes it’s an archetype, and other times it’s a one-off reference with an average effect. Either way, we want to look at the most iconic of these Konami game references. Sometimes, the reference is more than meets the eye. Judgment Meter and A.T. from Software Agents TV joins me for this one. Footage provided by Common RAM Error, Dan from Japan, Toasty PC, and AT & Sam from Software Agents TV (specific games listed in credits), with help from Rebecca Rosenhaus, Rachel Marcel and Dark Battleship. Footage cut down by AT Gonzalez. Video edited by MrTopTenList.

I'm so used to Yu-Gi-Oh that I would've just accepted that there's a fish that flies around in space with no extra backstory
Mmm Authentic Italian food
@ What is that a Sonic the hedgehog Movie reference? And they reference in Sonic movie 2 as well.
Waifu Meter!
You need to be a card. You all need your own references now
Too bad Darius isnt Konami
Once again, it was a lot of fun to be a part of this video! Thank you to Justin, Dan, Toasty, Sam, Rebecca, Rae and Kyle for their contributions, as well-- A.T.

Two things about number 6: Castlevania
Vampire Killer is not only the Japanese name of the card, but also the official name of the whip that (almost) every Belmont uses. Named after its use, I guess.
Meanwhile, Vampire Lord and Vampire Genesis are technically a reference to Dracula himself, as he is always resurrecting from the dead and, when cornered, transforming into his monster form complete with horns, spiked bat wings, claws, and big muscles.
In Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, The whip is called Vampire Killer because it utilized the soul of Leon Belmont's spouse, Who was turning into a vampire. I guess because of how the whip used a soul of a vampire, That's probably why it's effective against Dracula.
@@jesuschristthefirstjojo.7565 Before that, it was known as the "Alchemy Whip", since it was basically a conduit for magic, and powerful enough to slay most any supernatural being
@@ThePlagueWarden That too.
Another neat bit of trivia, the artwork for Vampire Hunter is clearly based on the box art for Circle of the Moon on the GBA.
7:22
Despair from the Dark: "IDK guess I'll just die then..."
4:25 I love how he's talking about Lorenzo using fake cards when Jaden (and most of GX tbh) constantly uses fake cards!
1:51 in the country I'm from , these games are called Nemesis . I thought Gradius was the name of the ship.
I got 2 Better Call Saul ad in a row for this video
Never knew Koitsu and his boys were from a videogame, but this just makes me love that useless archetype even more.
We stan the itsu brother here
Would much rather eat and do yoga on a paper airplane naked.
I always like it when companies reference their stuff in other stuff.
That was always my favorite part of the super smash brothers series when they added trophies to the mix learning the history of video games
It's funny that in the past they have made references their other games now they make anime references in the cards.
I don't because I'm a socialist and I oppose captialism. I hate companies.
PRODUCT PLACEMENT !!!
@@SWAATSFan now? It’s nothing new
Tactical espionage experts head is like Raidens
except for that one time in the Kagome video when jUdgment meter was dubbing the scene when mistress centipede was liking kagomes face that WAS ANNOYING
Hey, it was fun to be a part of this video! Glad to see people seem to enjoy it! I'm especially happy with how the Parodius and Gradius Grunt enemies segment. For the record, I coordinated nearly all the gameplay footage, Sam was player 2 in the Lord British segments and he did the Gradius NES bits. -- A.T.
Also, Vampire Killer is the name of the song of the first level of the Castlevania game
So it's the name of the whip, theme song, and game (in some iterations). Wow, this name got around in Castlevania.
Considering that Konami has the rights of Silent Hill, I found amazing that they prefer to make reference to the main competition, Resident Evil, in the Vendread Archetype.
By the way, the new support for Vendread is clearly Nemesis and it looks awesome.
I noticed that too.
And spawn too.
The Helpoemer monster definitely seems like he'd be right at home in Silent Hill though.
That's because Vendread originates from the TCG, not the OCG.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 How is that a reason?
There was a mistake made when talking about Solar Flare Dragon: in this video, it was stated that you need to control another pyro type monster to use it's burn effect, which isn't actually how it works. You actually don't need to control another pyro monster to get it's burn effect during the end phase (or any other monster, for that matter), but it cannot be attacked if you do control another pyro monster, so you got it half right, Mr Top 10 List
yes, I noticed that too the video is full of inaccuracies and editing mistakes. this is what happens when you have to maintain a twice a week schedule. they dont care. it about attention and TH-cam adbux to them. they dont even use any of the Konami music from any of those Konami games in there.
@@lainebakins2466 they don't use Konami music because they don't want to get a copyright strike
Mabye use your brain before typing
Good correction! I still loved the video, regardless. I knew a lot of there references (as I collect Konami cards) but some, I didn't know, which made me smile seeing how many more I need to collect
@@pokemonlore4959 it's incredibly rare for video game music to be copyright claimed on TH-cam. Many YT creators use it by default.
Ryu Kokki from Ryu Kotsuki is probably a mistransliteration, or possibly the intended Japanese pronunciation: the character "tsu" in Japanese is used in a smaller form to denote that you pause for a syllable to duplicate the next consonant sound.
The best-known example where this happens is Tekken, where they combined the words tetsu (iron) and ken (fist.)
Funny thing with the Moai Interceptor Cannons: in the german version of the card, its name is missspelled as "Moai AbfangkanoNNen", with "Abfang" correctly translating the interceptor part, but the german word for cannon, "Kanone" is spelled with only one N whereas "Nonnen" with two N's refers to women of the clerus, making "Kanonnen" kind of an accidently (at least i hope xD) word pun of Cannon and Nun. So the german Card translated back to english would mean something like "Moai Interceptor Cannon Nuns". Another glorious example of Konami being absolutely horrible when it comes to german localization xD
Thanks for the language lesson!
I find hilarious how when AT says they were a Guinea Pig for Prof. Oats at 18:24 , Bubonic Vermin is in the background, very nice editing
I did that for him. I guess you would call that an in-joke.
Professor Oats used Bubonic Vermin in his main deck way back when. I couldn't give an exact recipe but cards he used were Buster Blader, DNA Surgery, Parasite Paracide, Insect Barrier, Flint, Bubonic Vermin x3... fill in some blanks
It would be amazing if he remembered. -- A.T.
Thank you! When I saw AT using Bubonic Vermin in the B roll he sent me and said "guinea pig," I was like "oh yeah, I'm going along with this wordplay."
@@MrTopTenList Beast of Talwar was another one!
I like it when those guys do stufff like that. their videos are layred and have rewatch value.
@@sneaky7339 Thanks
I seriosuly can't believe you omitted Ambitious Gofer
20:29 Hark, the Aitsu angels sing
Glory to Ojama King
Other honorable mentions:
- Roll Out! - its OCG name “Get Ride!” is based on the Konami anime “Get Ride! AMDriver”. Though it is based on the name of the anime, there is a video game based on that. Get Ride! AMDriver is about a young group of fighting force who could wield their own riding vehicles in battle to defeat their enemies (similar to how Red Rangers in Power Rangers use their Battlizer in battle), the concept of it is kinda similar to the effect of Roll Out! Where it equip union monster to one appropriate monster on the field.
Something you forgot is that "Vampire Killer" is actually the name of the whip the Belmonts use. Further it was the lover of Leon Belmont, Sara Trantoul, who gave her live to empower the whip of alchemy and help Leon defeat vampires like the one that turned her. This was the whole kickoff of the series as thiet ordeal was revealed at the end to have been orchestrated by Mathias Cronqvist (aka Dracula) in his bid for power. The Vampire Killer whip having the soul of the Vampire Sara and loyal only to the family line of her ex lover, has been almost a character of itself in its whip form throughout the series. The Japanese name of this card makes A LOT more sense now. The included Belmont is a cameo as one is required to wield the whip, but the dark attribute and instadeath effect against other dark monsters with the name "Vampire Killer" makes it clear that THE WHIP is actually what the card is centered around. The whip is enhanced by the soul of a Vampire making it dark but since she was vengeful against other vampires and gave her eternal life to take a form that could be used to destroy them, the effect of destroying all other dark monsters it battles makes perfect sense to the in game story. This also explains why it would fit being part of the Vampire series instead of having the name slightly altered to act as pure antisupport. Sara WAS a vampire. There is no need to alter the name slightly the the word Vampire to exclude it from the archetype because she WAS a vampire so it still fits. She just happens to be a vampire who also allows her soul to be used to kill other vampires. With all this in mind, this might be the most clever and unexpected expressions of a Konami character in YuGiOh ever. People will mistakenly think it's referring to the clear Belmont weilding the whip but with the origional Japanese name of the card and its details in mind, the truth is revealed. In fact..look at the art. You gave the Belmont tight against the one side of the card and the castle way against the left, both references to the series as background cameos, but the whip ITSELF is what is focused on in the center art of the card. The art is balanced by the surrounding cameo references but the Vampire Killer is actually what takes center stage in this imagery, THE WHIP!
damn that's a great catch dude. what a cool reference by konami
Dude how you got time to post an essay 😆
Wow that's amazing
About ninja sasuke, there's also "hand destruction" with his artwork (I know it thanks to Exodia players), enforcing the idea of destroying things
Hand destruction should have been mentioned omg i didn't think of that! That card is still VERY useful in the right hands, and it's also good support for any newbie that can't afford draw cards for their archetypes. Making your opponent discard 2 HURTS even if they draw first because, they have to ditch good cards usually. Playing it as a quick play, right when your opponent only has 2 cards left in hand, is really strong, and a dirty play that really forces your opponent to make very difficult choices
One of my favorite combos was 3 solar flare dragons dropped with ultimate offering and laugh.
I knew about the Gradius references, but as i don't know much about shoot'em ups the sheer ammount of references flew over my head. Amazing.
The Castlevania and Goemon references were pretty clear, i wish Konami made more of those.
Good to see someone in life seeing this. Almost makes you appreciate konami even more for keeping the hisorty alive in different ways.
P..S
Im sorry but homegirl didnt need to be involved in this at all. She isnt funny. Having "comedic relief" in a video like this is unnatural and forced. Best to avoid that in the future or blend it into the script to be within the dialog.
Solar Flare dragon can not be attacked if there is another pyro on the field. Not he burns if there is another pyro on the field. If you have two on the field, your opponent can not attack because they are both pyro and can not be targeted if there is another pyro setting up a lock so you can burn your opponent for a thousand. Also Sasuke Samurai show ups on the spell card Card Destruction.
6:47 small note: the small 'tsu' (つ) in Ryu Kokki's JP name is actually a special use of the character that is silent but emphasizes the following consonant. It's usually written in a smaller font size to distinguish it from the voiced 'tsu'. This is usually transliterated as a double-consonant in English, thus 'Ryu Kokki' is pronounced the same in Japanese as English.
Edit: also, i think 'Vampire Killer' is also the name of the Belmont Family Whip.
I was about to mention the small tsu. I could not tell the size of it but if Ryu Kokki has been reprinted multiple times without a name change, a small tsu must be canon.
13:57 Yae looks SO CUTE there. I miss those games. 17:32 did Elena write this?
I never caught the Spyral reference. That's cool. MGS remains my favorite game series of all time.
Fun fact: Moai and Brain Golem are also bosses that you fight in the Konami fighting game Monster Maulers (or Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn, in Japan). The Moai in that game now has arms and a body, and Brain Golem is just like in the cards and previous games (big flying brain with tentacle arms, and one big eye that you can actually hit it out of the monster).
Fun fact: Alex Mitchell topped twice with a Gradius deck in 2009 and 2010.
In BES archetype.
There are Tag Force exclusive support cards for BES.
BES Assault Core: If your opponent controls a monster and you don't, you can special summon this card from your hand. Basically the archetype Cyber Dragon for tribute fodder.
Sheild Recovery: A spell card. Place 3 counters on a BES monster you control.
You know these would be very helpful for BES. Not great but better.
Good effort, guys. There's a few mistakes, though. And I'm surprised you didn't mention Ambitious Gofer.
5:03 BEF Zelos is the final stage in OG Gradius.
5:47 This is segment is cool because even Famicom game collector me, didn't know this.
8:21 the guy in middle is Ryu Kokki?
10:44 Spyrals look cool
11:00 Ahhhh I wish you could have mentioned that the Sasuke Samurais all have had Goat Format play. The original was a popular flip monster kiler, #2 was a tech card that saw fringe play, #3 was a mill and Creature Swap set-up card and even #4 has seen play in a few strategies. Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke was used in Light beatdowns.
19:08 I don't think you did the best job explaining this. Flint is a general gameplay mechanic, not a power-up.
20:22 Itsu segment was tiiiiiiight JM and AT were hilarious.
26:32 Why didn't you mention Samba from Parodius?
28:16 you confabulated Solar Flare Dragon's effect and could have mentioned it was a popular Fire deck card in Chaos and Goat Formats
31:42 Gradius cards were a rogue deck about 12-10 years ago, although this data was mostly under-reported until recently.
35:33 no that's Vic Viper not Lord British
37:50 Safe Zone saw competitive play. you could have mentioned this.
Tryin' to be constructive, not negative.
24:08 hey we played this on the hardware at the expo. Why are you so mean to the fox?
We did!
You need to be mean to the fox to beat the game!
37:07
Maybe you should make a video on “pseudo archetypes” like this one at some point in time. That’d be interesting.
I don't know if you take suggestions for lists but I had an idea for one after watching your Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho lists. (Top Ten anime characters that only appeared in video games.) Games based on popular animes that featured a character that was exclusive to that game.
The idea came when watching the before mentioned videos I got reminded of an Inuyasha game that was released on the Nintendo DS. The story involved Kagome's school getting a foreign exchange student from the US named Janis. And as it turns out Janis is also capable of going through the well back to Feudal Japan. So she ends up joining Kagome and the gang for a one-off adventure. So Janis could be a contender for this list.
Another contender for the list that I thought of off the top of my head could be Android 21 from Dragon Ball FighterZ.
I hope him an JM make more Inuyasha lists.
In the early days of Duel Links i used to have a Victory Viper deck that would use its support cards to boost itself to big numbers and ocasionally create option tokens to overwhelm the CPU opponent... The good old days
Sasuke Samurai and Sasuke Samurai 4 have occasional use in goat format. Sasuke Samurai 3 also has a very niche use of swapping it to your opponent and then crashing into it to draw cards for yourself.
Sasuke 3 was great for one deck type. Using cards like "Greed" or, "appropriate". There are tons of cards that heavily punish the opponent for drawing , they are just never played anymore. But if your opponent draws their deck out you can make them discard down during end phase, or just make them discard by other effects. Or even make them shuffle and redraw, activating appropriate or greed even though they never technically increased hand size, adding more burn dmg.
Vic Viper T301's effect is actually another game reffrence.
In Gradius V there is a level where a Vic Viper comes from the future to help you out for half the stage. The level has the two Vic Vipers navigating parallel mazes and cleaning away dead ends for eachother.
It's actually a cool moment. Especially when you figure out the time displaced Vic Viper will become you after you get caught in a black hole on a later level
That's actually really cool! I never thought of it like that. Gradius V is one of my top 10 PS2 games and my favorite Gradius game.
I read the title wrong an thought that you were going to talk abut the most based Yu-gi-oh cards, that would had been epic .
The Aitsu brothers might be based
I mean, I guess it would make for an entertaining video to track down cards that look like they're crackheads... That's what "based" means, by the way, look it up.
Based Konami Hates Yu-Gi-Oh Cards
Hands down I like the Gradius references the most. Though the Goemon ones I never knew about until this video.
Judgment meter needs to be in all your videos because thats why i watch them.
so basically, everything was gradius all along
Still waiting for my Senator Armstrong card.
that would be wild
Space Mambo is one of the first cards i ever got and still one of my favorites.
Lord British itself is also a reference to the creator of Ultima, Richard "Lord British" Garriot.
Top 10 yugioh field spells you would want to live in
I'd probably like Sogen/Meadow. so peaceful, and from the way it looks in Duelists of the Roses... RENEWABLE WIND ENERGY!
i had no idea there were so many old school games in yugioh, mind.blown.
Vampire Killer is also the name of the Belmont family’s magic whip.
And the most well known Castlevania music track!
BES monsters losing a counter when they attack is a drawback nobody asked or needed
Mind-blowing. I recognize nearly all of these cards, but I only ever recognized that DDR and Gradius had anything to do with video games.
Surely Lord British is somehow also connected to video game designer/amateur astronaut Richard "Lord British" Gariot?
I think the cores would have been a lot better if they had a way to reliably add new counters on them.
There's more B.E.S. support and the new ones get counters on special summon
They would’ve been better if all of them added counters on Summon rather than normal or special Summon
yeah… that’s pretty much literally implied in the video lol
In the older yugioh games there was a lvl4 B.E.S card that could special summon itself and bring out a bigger ship and a spell that just gave them 3 counters. Idk why it never made it to the tcg or any other game.
I will say the original core monsters were REALLY powerful back in their day. Tons of people splashed them in random decks in locals because you couldn't easily destroy them by battle. They are definitely a LOT better than the video let's on
5:04 bro ....that's the battleship that serves as the final stage of the original gradius game
okay can you make a top ten list about Spyro now? and when are you fishing the Kirby streams?
I never actually grew up with the Spyro games, so I probably wouldn't be the best person to make that video. As for Kirby, I didn't realize my Kirby Superstar stream from 2020 was that popular since a few commenters have asked me about it. No plans to continue that for now. If I do stream again, I'd probably want to do another fighting game to ease back into it.
@@MrTopTenList Please do a bloody roar stream.there is only 1 character from that series in ur top 10s
Xexex is actually the great villain of the Xexex games, he itself appears as a Prize card from 2005 Championship, called King of Destruction- Xexex (a match winner card that cannot be played )
The name of the final boss in Xexex is "Klaus," though. Xexex is a power up, but I don't recall what it does.
@@SoftwareAgentsTV it's not the boss, it's a lore thing. Like in Gradius, Bacterian is the lore villain but the final boss that mostly appears is Gofer (there's a card for him too, Ambitious Gofer, with a very coll art)
@@juanmarcelo589 So is Klaus a minion of Xexex in the way that Gofer is one for Bacterian? -- A.T.
I played goemons great adventure for n64 as a kid and was playing yugioh when the sasuke and lady ninja cards came out. Never made the connection that it was a reference! haha, the more realistic depictions are so funny in context
I am dissapointed they didn't reference that game
@@danieltang7614 The N64 game cover art was the background for that segment when we didn't use gameplay from the Super Famicom game
Ultimate Baseball Kid is from another Konami game? I ran an amazing burn deck with him as the MVP of it in the 2005 edition and I had no idea :P
You might've missed Ben Kei out of the Goemon references by the way. Though he's based on a historical figure, his card matches his in-game appearance and references the fact he's a bit of a hoarder in that game.
Watching the *cover art* in the new *getsu fuma* game i notice the armor of the protagonist could be inspired in the card *mad archfiend* (im almost sure it is)
Actually, the airplane men were very easy to play. I had a deck on them and it, actually whipped a ton of people lol. Ufo turtle, mothr grizzly, and flying kamikiri got them straight from the deck, and onto the field , ignoring any need to tribute. There was also discarding them and using monster reborn or call of the haunted back then, or premature burial. Once you equipped two airplane men to each other, they went to 2500 or 3000 atk and I believe your opponent couldn't activate anything in response to their attacks too, and they even did pierce damage ( I THINK, I could be wrong on this). But, yea they were REALLY strong for a total gimmick for a short time. Don't get me started on the Huge Revolution combo deck. If you managed to pull that off you basically won. Your opponent literally couldn't come back from it back then. It was obviously MUCH more challenging to do but, there are consistent ways to make it happen, especially now with all of the normal monster support
Great video. But do you remember when you made videos if Yu-Gi-Oh was a fighting game. Could you make another one because it was so interesting and I would make some changes. Dark magician should be a strong fighter with a few long range attacks because in it's card text, it says that it's a powerful sorcerer because of it's physical strength and defense
Hey MrTopTenList. I’m so sorry for missing this list last week. After running my errand, I somehow missed it in my notification. But I love the fact you covered the Yugioh cards centered around Konami games, my favorite being Vampire Hunter since I love the Castlevania series. Really appreciate your ambitious lists!
It's all good! Glad you got a chance to see it regardless!
@@MrTopTenList this one didn't appear in my notifications for some strange reason. seriously I have a log of all the bell notifications on my phone and it's missing for this video and Top Ten electrical Fighters boogie woogie.
@@MrTopTenList You forgot hand destruction
A few things about the Arcade Game Xexex. The Flintlock (the player's ship) would wield the Flint pod (a front attachment) throughout the entire game alongside its main weapon (Proton Lasers). While attached, the Flint pod would protect the front of the ship from enemy projectiles. It could also be charged to have it fire a large array of tentacles. The Flint pod could also be fired forward (like a missile) using a special button (this detaches the Flint pod). The Flint pod would stop at the first enemy hit creating a small blast at that location. Afterwards, the Flint pod would float about in that location slowing/weakening enemies in said location (that were not already destroyed by the aforementioned blast). Using the special button again whilst the Flint pod was detached, would call the flint pod back to its original position in-front of the ship for reattachment. I don't know what game you were describing. Also, there is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Card named "King of Destruction - Xexex", that I thought you would go over.
It was nice to see MTTL, AT and JM together in the same video
tbh w U, I think its a huge shame that you didnt use any music from Konami games in this video. Konami gaems have great music. . Is Konami music banned on TH-cam? And why didnt yuGiOh make a card about rocket Knight Adventures?
Video game music is very iffy when not used in it's game of origin. Even if it is, it could still get a video flagged as having copyrighted content. For example, my Darkstalkers streams cannot be monetized since I let the entire menu play all the way through without disruption.
Main event time!
Konami also make movie based cards as well. Kozmo archetype is star wars
14:38 Oh no, Trend's brother is crying. He was probably at a birthday party and Sasuke just used him as part of a substitution jutsu. What a mean ninja. Ancient Tree didn't deserve this.
His name is Trent. I 'm so tired of this!
Btw Parodius should be pronounced Pair - Oh- dee-us as its a series of games parodying the Gradius games! Also, doesn't Lekunga resemble. Marvels Shuma Gorath, right down to the pulsating eye?
That makes sense and I never considered that lol. ANd he does indeed look like Shuma! I probbaly would have brought that up if he got a full entry, in part because he has very little lore or usage in the game.
@@MrTopTenList I think Shuma Gorath will be in the 2nd Dr. Strange movie
I'm gonna make a gradius deck now and none of you can stop me
Same,we'll see who has the better deck in yugioh master duel
I'll be totally honest, I had always thought Getsu Fuhma was a woman.
vampire lord and vampire hunter effects also its a reference to castlevania ,vampire hunter destroying and vampire lord by effect and triggering his revive like in castlevania when dracula keep coming back to be kill by bellmonts again.another reference to game its the vendread archtype to resident evil,they also have a story in theirs cards.
also a detail i forgot resident evil is from capcom not konami maybe you could make one list that not inspired by konami games.
Vampire Killer is the name of the whip weiled across the generations of Belmonts in the Castlevania games. The English card was changed from "Killer" to "Hunter" for no other reason than Konami's obsession with censoring tcg versions of cards.
I know that this is not from Konami game itself but my personal favorite references by Konami are the Inzektors and Masked Heroes. They all looked like Kamen Riders. Also my favorite XYZ card Evilswarm Exciton Knight looked like a cross between Shadowmoon and Kamen Rider 555's Orphnoch King.
Btw True Fact: Not one but two archetypes are based off of Castlevania, Vampires and Evil Eye.
The name "Vampire Killer" actually comes from the whip of the same name passed down through the Belmont and Morris lineage in the Castlevania series. Its wielders include Simon Belmont, Richter Belmont, Trevor Belmont, John Morris, and Johnathan Morris.
I think it's funny that Getsu Fuhma and Ryu Kokki have effects that destroy each other while also having Vampire Hunter that can destroy both of them since they are both Dark type. It's like the bigger, more well known franchise stamping out the lower less known one.
15:39 if you actually played Castlevania instead of bumming footage off of your friend or did 10 seconds of castlvania wiki research you'd know that VampireKiller is the name of the whip
Rude much?
There's also Star Drawing, which resembles Maxwell from Scribblenauts.
(Not a Konami game originally, but they did publish it in Japan.)
Damn, I really miss that old school Konami logo!
Very informative video. I didn't even know most of these were references. Another great one my friends!
Thank you!
I actually think it would have been fitting and funny if option hunter stole your opponent's equip cards
I like that concept! I guess if they ever want to retrain Tailor of the Fickle, they could make it Option Hunter-themed
Fun fact: Parodius is the origin of that one "wow" anime sound effect
B.E.S Covered core's effect was base on the core itself was covered by spinning impregnable armor
Tactical Episonage Expert's effect was base on Chaff grenade or Electromagnetic grenade
Brain Golem and Moai also appear in Konami arcade game called Monster Mauler
Gemini Scorpion also Castlevania's reference base on Hector and Issac from Curse of Darkness
This video blew my mind 😂 I just didn’t think about other Konami games but now I’m like dang. They knew exactly what they were doing this whole time 🤣.
That's what it was like for me when I first learned about them too! It's similar to when I noticed the intertwining backstories among card art that inspired my Yugioh backstory videos. Glad you enjoyed!
I love the reference of Metal Gear Solid Snake and Tactical Espionage Expert is a great reference. I love how Konami had many references to the games we all know and love. I hope Konami starts making amazing games again but unfortunately that's like saying Nintendo giving us a new F-Zero game. Cool video. ^_^
I was gonna mention this one too lol
@@EarthHero700 It sure is a great card. ^_^
Where it rumbled rose that could be a cool
What does F-Zer0 have to do with anything? lul Nintendo fanboys... sheesh
@@somebodyoncetoldmeshrek335 You clearly missed the point of what I was saying. Nintendo has't made a new F-Zero game in years and probably forgot about the series and there might not be a new one anytime soon. In the recent years Konami has been known for making bad decisions relating to their games and not giving their franchises new games. So what I meant was I hope Konami starts making amazing games again but that's similar to saying I hope Nintendo makes a new F-Zero game in other words that's most likely not going to happen anytime soon. Also I was comparing it to another game related thing and I'll be the first to say Nintendo tends to be lazy and do bad decisions as well for example the Nintendo should improve their online services and give us more for our hard working money and this one or two game a month thing that they do is cheap and most of the times it's a bad or boring game and there's other things also but I'll leave it there. I'm not a fanboy I have many games and consoles from other game companies not just Nintendo. ^_^
I think all the Gradius themed effect cards should’ve had the effect text “This cards is always treated as Vic Viper”, but in the Cyberdragon way, not the Harpy Sister way.
I believe the Castlevania card being called "Vampire Killer" in Japan is in reference to the whip, which is called the Vampire Killer.
For Number 6, there's also a reference to big bad Konami Drac, with Vampire Voivode (and Zombie Vampire) , who looks almost like SoTN Drac, minus the daddy beard. Vampire Genesis can be a reference to his Final form
Even the Grim Reaper, and Carmilla have references in Yugioh , with respectively Vampire Grimson and Vampire Vamp.
vamp doesn't much resemble castlevania carmilla(whose kinda distinct), or carmilla in general(who has her own card(fraulein) that fits better), but she does have a passing resemblance to alot of other female vampires(and succubi and werebats) throughout the series. lady could maybe be castlevania carmilla though.
also, lord was probably also dracula.
What about power play lady sisters its characters from the power play games and was given out as a collab with a dark magician in the art style of power play
21:34 nice ;)
also great vid MrTopTenList but Konami is NOT a vidyagaem company anymore. they are a PACHINKO company and the fact they havent ruined YGO will always leave me confused
Also: JudgementMeter is best girl. Period.
No Konami is "Whatever will make money" company

"Haven't ruined Yu-Gi-Oh!" They released Link monsters. They _have_ ruined Yu-Gi-Oh!. It happened like 5 years ago. Hell, they ruined it even _before_ that with Master Rules 3 Pendulums.
MrTopTenList you need to address that Lorenzo, the Three Time Videogame Champion, confirms that ITALY is canon in the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. This is important because it links the Yu-Gi-Oh! and JoJo universes and as such proves that the Kaiba's Solid Projection system is an extension of Stands by means of technological marvel. This is CONFIRMED on my wikipedia that I made, the FREE wikipedia for me to edit. I'm disappointed this hasn't been addressed in any of your videos.
BTW can we get Top Ten BUTTS on Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards? You'rte the brest!!!
His name is "Ryusei Gin". "Lorenzo" is a lie 4Kids made up to whitewash Japanese animation history and sell their toys.
But Yu-Gi-Oh! has always taken place in the real world. Also, Dr. Crowler is Italian in Japanese, his name being Cronos de Medici. Or... wait, were you under the impression that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure invented Italy?
Okay, definitely a joke, but Solid Vision was developed to be a technological reproduction of the "Experience of Death" Penalty Game Dark Yugi used on him in their first encounter in the manga.
I like this, I learned at lot. I hope they do more game references to cards in the future. Also more master monk support!
Thank you! Maybe Chu-Ske will get retrained one day too!
Solar Flare Dragon is also from Gradius.
It would be insane if konami made a whole metal gear archetype.
Funnily enough, I just made a "Gradius"-Deck the other Day.
Mainly because "Victory Viper XX03" can become stupidly powerful, with "United we stand" equipped it can get up to 4000 ATK with two "Option-Tokens" on the Field....
A funny little Deck.
I always have a Vic Viper deck on all Yugioh videogames, with Honest, united we stand and Limiter removal you can make some cool things with the tokens and extra attacks, i would never win a championship but i can defeat meta decks from time to time.
I believe there was one Spaceship deck that topped a big tournament in 2010, so it may be too slow for the modern game, but it definitely could work in some older formats.
Where's Gravity Blaster?

30:08 Konami (as of this comment's writing) even did a Collab with "Power Pro", releasing cards like "Power Pro Knight Sisters" and "Power Pro Lady Sisters" in both Master Duel and Duel Links
"I duke devlin summon my very phallic spaceship, but because it's summoned by me, it grows twice it's regular size. duke devlin always rises to the occasion"
Another shout out is Cyber Laser Dragon and Cyber Barrier dragon being obscure references to the power ups you get in the konami 2D shooters
Option Hunter would have been a great reference if it could take a spell or trap card from your opponent's field and add it to your hand, similar to how they steals the power-ups in Gradius...
