Capsule Monster Coliseum is probably one of the most underrated PS2 games there is. Lots of fun and challenging as it should be. Plus it had the voice actors from the DM anime too.
I remember being really daunted first time playing that game but after the first play through I couldn't get enough. Sure wish playstation had backwards compatibility.
I think that the guy wanting Miho was already creepy for having a huge crush on a highschool student... the capsule thing really seals the deal though 😅
Takahashi really had some great ideas for games, it's quite sad that only duel monsters became successful. The original idea of Yu-Gi-Oh to have the characters play a variety of games was something I didn't expect when I started watching the anime because I only heard about the card game. Sure, I do enjoy duel monsters, but what really got me into the series was Yugi's love for games and the plot revolving around it. I would definitely give capmon and DDM a try if I could.
I love that he was able to buck the trend for the final season, creating a D&D game of Bakura vs. Yami Yugi, my jaw hit the floor when Yami Yugi woke up at the game table the first time.
There was actually a Dungeon Dice Monsters game for the GameBoy Advance. It was pretty decent, though it didn't quite follow the rules of the anime/manga, if I recall correctly.
@@Insert_Bland_Name_Here There was a great video on that. Unfortunately while the setup and the system of the game was great, the AI was as dumb as bricks and couldn't respond well to players, they would just try to attack the main base of the player and nothing else, leaving themselves always vulnerable. A shame that programming incompetency ruined the potential of that game.
@@HighPriestFuneralo say nothing of the fact that whether the game could progress at all in either direction is up to the RNG deciding to grant either side the priviledge of Movement Crests, and it was impossible to save between battles in a tournament. I tried it just last week and my battery died halfway through the second battle. 10000% a game that demands emulators.
I think the PS2 Capsule Monster Coliseum really shows how the game would develop and is a pretty cheap, easier and yet fun alternative of the tabletop game
That Miho related Capmon duel in season 0 is a strange adaptation of the first Capsule monsters game played in the Manga, which was between Yugi and Mokuba.... that guy rigged the machine like Mokuba did and then make the same plays as Mokuba and lose the same way Mokuba did. In the Manga, that first game was setup for Death-T and their rematch that was adapted with less random changes.
Capsule Monsters concept is really fun and interesting but only appeared for two episodes in season zero. Though it was great that they made a spin-off mini series based off the Capsule Monsters game.
It was certainly interesting that the season 0 anime decided to have a filler Capmon duel involving Miho before the canonical one with Mokuba. A shame the game didn't take off as I always enjoyed the non-card games Yugi played like Capmon and Dungeon Dice Monsters. 🤔
Especially considering that the capsule duel with Miho was taken beat-for-beat from Mokuba's first duel in the manga. Right down to the trapping the guy inside a giant capsule pod.
Yeah, I really would've liked to play the first game in the Yugioh series, the one where he slides a deck of cards over a rooftop and where the objective of the game was not to let the opponent reach the summit and cut the rope keeping you from falling off and dying.
I prefer the manga introduction. This takes place well after some of the episodal game based storylines and Seto's first defeat at Yugi's hands. This actually coincided with Mokuba's introduction in the manga. He planned a setup to get vengeance on Yugi. He paid off some other kids to lure Yugi in and a store owner to stack the capsules in a machine just before Yugi would pass by so specific monsters would come out in specific order once the grift started. Yugi would be coerced into playing a game of capsule monster chess with Mokuba by the other kids. He flashily purchased the entire machine from the vendor for the duel, so they had it all to themselves. Of course, Mokuba sets the order so he and yugi get exactly the monsters he had planned ahead of time, and the battle goes as planned for a few turns. It appears that Mokuba had a checkmate when Yugi reveals this was the intention. Just like in real chess, he sacrificed his other pieces to lure his opponents into just the right positions. He only had one monster left, but it was one with a special ability that could go the entire length of the board diagonally and take all pieces in between automatically despite its low power. All of Mokuba's pieces were diagonally aligned in its path and thus taken out in one move. Yugi, of course, figured out what was really going on the entire time and the identity of his opponent. Mokuba is devastated as he was legitimately a Capsule Monster Chess Champion (in the manga he is following in his brother's footsteps but CMC is his preferred game over duel monsters) AND set up Yugi with what he felt was an impossible monster combination to win with. If this seems familiar, it's because they basically split this into two storylines in the English dubbed anime (and apparently did the same in the Japanese first season for some reason despite alos having the duel agaisnt Mokuba). This much stronger introduction and characterization of Mokuba would become his non duel with Yugi using a stolen deck as well as the Dungeon Dice Monster arc. Even though they had a capsule monster filler arc, it was closer to Pokemon and DDM was much closer to the origional CMC down to the randomization factor of the pieces and spaces on the board playing a big part. DDM is really just a fusion of Duel Monsters and CMC. This was simply the first interaction between Yugi and Mokuba, and unlike in the anime, it only led to more confrontations. Later, Yugi and Joey would be abducted by the Kaiba brothers and taken to their mansion. This was in the lead up to Death-T. While Kiaba was still in his room supposedly preparing emotionally for the big surprise "invitation" event (he was left emotionally traumatized by his last interaction with Yugi similar to the Englush dub except he had the blue eyes stolen, did not duel grandpa yet and was harassed by miniature visions of the monsters attacking him, hold a pin in that) Mokuba "hosted" the guest with a food fame. He called it dinner roulette. He had a lazy Susan with plates containing full meals. He claims he had them randomly prepared with one containing poison. He doesn't know which does so they will spin the Lazy Susan, eat what they get and deal with the result. The heroes have no choice, and Joey is poisoned. Mokuba reveals he has the antidote but will play Yugi for it. Yugi sees through him revealing that Mokuba both knows already what dish has the poison and has a button under the table at his spot that can stop the roulette exactly where he wants it. He purposely put Yugi in this position to first toy with his emotions over his best friend before killing the both of them. Yugi agrees to proceed but only under the original stated conditions of random chance. Of course, Mokuba gets poisoned food but has some warped sense of honor, so he still eats it. Joey is given the antidote, and Mokuba is rushed off by his service staff. After the preliminary Death-T games, Yugi is forced to face Mokuba in an official CMC match in front of a crowd as a Simi-finals. His grandfather is being terrorized in a hologram chamber by duel monster projections similar to what Yugi put Kaiba through. Kaiba recognizes he removed the trauma, but the much weaker grandfather will die of a heart attack before too long if Yugi doesn't get through the remaining challenges beforehand. The final match, an official duel agaisnt Kaiba in front of a sold out crowd (this is how everyone knew about Kaiba's defeat at Yugi's hands as and how it was recognized as official in the manga. The first duel was a private one at a table in the Kaiba mansion and Kaiba only had the Blue-Eyes he stole at that time.) Thsi match is what was replaced by the one in the forst English dubbed episode but took place in the Kaibaland Stadium in the manga. It was also revealed that the grandpa chamber was not the only use of holograms. The prior duel with yugi where miniture visions of the monsters battled then attacked Kaiba for cheating (since it wasn't his rightful Blue-Eyes it turned on him when played along with the other monsters, a concept recycled for the duel agaisn Yami Kaiba on Duelist island in the English dub) inspired him to weaponize them against his opponents by creating a version of the game with holograms. In the anime, Kaiba just already had this in the works, but in the manga, the Solid State Image Dueling technology was a direct result of Kaiba witnessing Yugis magic. At the them, he believed it was some for of technology Yugi inexplicably set up, so Kaiba simply decided to one-up him with a superior version. Yugi has to beat the Younger Kiaba first who gets his own rematch at HIS game, but Yugi smashed him again. Mokuba reveals that he saved Tristin (who was supposedly dead at this point) and requests Yugi help his brother as well. Yugi then faces Kaiba, who cruely reveals he knew it would happen. Despite the deadly odds the entire time, he KNEW yugi would pass them including his brother who had no chance. This whole set up was his vengeance for the card loss so it didn't make sense that he would want Yugi to lose before their duel. It was all just set dressing as he felt Yugi was worth Dueling and any duelist worth Dueling him would pass all the tests. Mokuba was just one of these and was never believed to actually have a shot at his own vengeance. Kaiba was even mad at Mokuba for the pulling the food roulette stunt so he had his brother saved but also felt the public humiliation of losing his CMC title was a fitting punishment for interfering with Kaiba's own grand design revenge plot. Yugi Technically becomes both an official CMC Master and Duel Monster Champion at the end of this arc. The manga but the CMC stuff just isn't really brought up again. The manga turned to the cards mostly (with a little Bakura RPG stuff) after this so Mokuba and CMC dropped ofconsiderably. This is sad as it gave Mokuba a lot more to his own character. It was also a traditional Chess game that Kaiba won their adoption through and had to cheat during to do so. This is significant when you realize Mokuba selected a type of chess as his signature game and rampently cheated without guilt early on, a justified means to meet his end. He was so much more complex than his watered-down anime counterpart and CMC played a big part of it. It also feels weird that character like Mokuba wouldn't play games but he really did and was a prodigy as well. He just preferred CMC and didn't want to step on the toes of his brother. It is also infered this was done out if self-preservation since the Elder Kaiba held no sentiment when it came to the game and would never allow Moku to take the Champion slot from him anyway.
We did manage to get a Video Game for Capsule Monsters. Colosseum is a nice strategy game where elements come into play and most Maps have secret events that changes how you play the board.
The duels in the manga/anime used gacha machines to "ensure fairness" (i.e. so the opponent could manipulate the draws). In regular duels, the players would choose monsters from their collections.
1:53 this duel is Mokuba and Yugi in the Manga. 3:35 So they adapted the story with Mokuba but had to write a whole new duel because they did the previous filler one.
Me and my buddy are still playing through the capsule monster collsiuem game and it's awesome. One of the best Yu-Gi-Oh games and capsule monsters itself is insanely fun
As everyone and their dog already stated, the first duel was different in the manga. As there was no Miho and the opponent was Mokuba who was revenging his brother and also was presented as some kind of kid Yakuza boss since he was with a bunch of kids armed with guns and stuff and he claimed that if he won he would do on Yugi that Yakuza thing where they chop off your pinky finger
I liked the Capsule Monsters video game way better. In the video game they even had fields that’ll either give a monster an advantage or damage them in certain areas.
The board is pretty much your enemy's super power. It's almost always to their advantage. What's even better though is the field has stages, so you can also wait out the enemy's advantageous board phase by playing defensively then attack on the phases that the enemy is more vulnerable.
But sometimes it's not their board advantage since you can play to your advantage like marik phase 1 board, and the Pegasus element board, then marik poison board, oh also Kaiba last board just make his unit going to the damage zone then voila easy win against blue eyes 😂
Reading the manga currently. It's interesting the adaptions would sort of splice stories with other stories to make their own narrative. In the manga Mokuba's introduction sort of starts off what I would call the Death T arc. As it's also the first time we hear Kaiba has a plan in store for Yugi. This would later lead into what would essentially be the 1st episode of the series we know now. Tho with a lot added in. Like Tea/Anzu working for Kaiba land, Tristan/Honda's little brother and the magic marker friendship art. Which hits a lot harder in the manga then it ever does in the anime. Especially Joey/Junochi's dialogue about as much as he's awful dad which we do see a bit in the manga, Run in with gangs and mostly powerless to change it. Being friends with Yugi/Yuugi in the manga was the first time he ever felt happy with he's life.
Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Thousand Eyes Restrict as Kings? Dark Magician Girl, Maiden with Eyes of Blue, Gilford the Lightning and Relinquished as Queens? I can see it, and I love it.
Is really a fun game, in fact you can take this further and make combinable boards, what do I mean, each player can have his own half board with a established pattern and obstacles, combining them for a full board, or if they add more players, you could use a standard 8 by 8 board as the center piece and everyone put their respective board for their side.
If you want some more ideas, you could cover some of the video games rules. Sure could have a lot of fun explaining duelist of the roses, falsebound kingdom, Destiny Board
Since you mentioned the Capsule Monsters Chess game, how about talking about the Spin-off series, Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters and discuss the rules and trials that happened in that series?
I took some ideas from this spin off game when my friends and I worked on creating Yugioh D&D. It became a board game where you move your character token along the board with a D10 and it became a survival duel where you duel against many enemies until you make it to the boss, or Dungeon Master. You get battle rewards when you beat an enemy in the form of cards in the ban list. Which you can store in a separate pile and draw from there instead of your deck during the draw phase. If a hero loses then they get mind controlled and fight for the boss. If all heroes get controlled then the game gets the Bad End. I was usually the Dungeon Master since I have over 200 decks and I'd choose the enemies at random. When there were too many heroes, a friend who was my usual sparing partner, who understood my decks almost as well as I do, would help me be the villain and he'd throw in a few of his own decks. It's a lot of fun. We also choose a card to be our avatar so we'd can know what we all look like. Usually a card in the extra deck or any card not in the main deck. That's where the D&D part comes in.
Fun fact: In the Manga the first and last Capmon player we see is Mokuba and only Mokuba, the 1st capmon duel is actually his introduction and first meeting with Yugi. His goal there was to get revenge after Yugi put Kaiba in a Coma. The 2nd Capmon duel was during the Death-T arc, but Mokuba's 2nd appearance however is when he invited Yugi and Jonouchi to their house and tried to kill them with poisoned food (No not food poisoning like actual poisoned food) unfortunately for Jonouchi he was the test subject so Mokuba can tell Yugi So in short: Capsule monsters was Mokuba's main thing in the manga
In the manga capumon is used more, but it's still not enough to fully understand it, it looks super interesting though And also yugi duels mokuba in capumon instead of the anime guy, and miho only appeared in one chapter instead of being a main character like in the anime
I'd love to see your opinion on Capsule Monster Coliseum the video game. It's basically the full version of this game in a video game, it's a great time and has a lot of bonus rules. It makes a very compelling strategy game.
Atem could literally pull nothing but max rarity monsters by using his ancient Egyptian dark magic, but decided to humiliate his opponent by using only commons. What a chad.
I loved Capsule Monsters, I maxed out the in-game timer of the PS2 game when I was little, I just played the crap out of it~ Shame it didn't last longer because it would've really been great during the GX era with all the fusions and monsters.
I think one of the problems with the irl capsule monsters game was that there were already mini figures released that were about the size that could be used. But the game was not compatible with them.
The capsule monsters spinoff was weird and awsome at the same time. Wish we got more stuff like this If you were in the capsule monsters world with 3 gen 1 monsters, who would you choose. You need 1 level 4 or lower, 1 level 5 or 6, and 1 level 7 or higher. I would want harpie lady, cosmo queen, and launcher spider
Then you've broken your own rules. Harpie Lady is level 4, yes. But Launcher Spider and Cosmo Queen are both level 7+. To answer your question, though... Level 4: Mystical Elf Level 6: Succubus Knight Level 8: Cosmo Queen
The PS2 game was the best implementation of these rules. Honestly I wish Yugioh made more games like this, or at least made sequels to the ones they did make.
Funnily enough, I never knew about season 0 until I found a chapter of Yugioh in the manga, and that had the capsule monster duel between Yami Yugi and Mokuba
This game never had a chance to be big but on the flip side, it did get a cool Yugioh game on the gamecube so that is something. Really, these yugioh spin off games like dungeon dice monsters and monster chess, could have been a great expansion to the world of yugioh, but no. Maybe another anime should do that but great look into this game!
The second Capumon game made more sense in the manga since it was actually Mokuba that Yugi faces as he and his delinquent classmates kidnap our hero to get Seto’s attention and praise. Basically Mokuba was to Capumon what Seto was to Duel Monsters and Yugi beat both of them. That’s why Mokuba comments on it not being the only game he knows how to play at the start of a duel in Duel Links. I don’t know why they went with the creep instead. I guess since they kept Miho as a character they felt the need to use her more. She was just a one off in the manga.
I feel like if you changed the boards a bit, simply by making it like play mats where each opponent brings a part of the board you could have some unique builds, with the board itself becoming apart of the strategy
I remember playing a ps2 game with this theme, I loved Yugioh and I received was a gift my father bought thinking was the card game he just saw in shop and buy it thinking was the card game . I didn't get happy at the 1st then ended up playing a lot , back then internet wasn't accessible for me so everything was discovered with time, I remember in a math against bakura I belive my dark Magician evolve to dark chaos Magician plus in a random match in discovered fusion I had exodia full body . Great memories from my childhood
Isnt the yugioh capsule monster ps2 game based off alot of these rules? I havent played it in years but I remember the king piece and movement patterns from that game mostly matching what was shown here
Honestly, that guy trying to capture Miho in a giant capsule by winning a game of Capsule Monster Chess doesn't even sound like the weirdest thing Yu-Gi-Oh! has gone with...
Find it funny they took the first duel of Yugi against Mokuba for his first revenge duel for Seto and made it be with a character barely in the manga, and with a random character
Long term I think you run into a problem with storage, you can fit several decks of cards in the space it would take to store just one team of capsule monster figures. This doesn't sound like a huge problem at first with the limited release of the game we got, but imagine trying to maintain a collection of, say, 100 different monsters, and maybe duplicates of a few since as you pointed out there's no limits on copies of a given monster. At a small scale the game seems pretty cute and fun, but long term this feels like it would be a nightmare to collect and play competitively.
Is it possible to do a rules breakdown of the roller coaster duels in Yugioh Zexal? It lasted for only about a few episodes Duel-wise (ep51-53) but the concept was pretty interesting and may have been a pseudo-prototype to how some rules in Action Duels in Arc V turned out. Thanks and keep up the great work!
So Capsule Monsters has a similar win rule to Dungeon Dice Monsters where you need to reduce hp to zero (heart points in ddm, hit points in capsule monsters). Edit: there's also a video game version of Capsule Monsters...don't know what game device it's for though
It's on PS2! Never tried it myself though, but if you have a PS2, a retro-compatible PS3, or a """PS2""", I say go for it! From what I've heard it's a rather fun game to play.
Oh the game is absolutely fire. You play as yugi and go through different areas as you climb the ladder to become King of Capsule Monsters. There are lots of different field that can boost or reduce pieces of certain factions that even change those boosts and effects as time goes on. It really is like Yugioh chess where monster movements, abilities and strategy are vital to win. If you or anyone gets the chance to play it do so as blind to the game as you can so you can feel satisfied with your own skills and then once beaten play with the knowledge of other players from the past so you can try out cool plays of your own. I cannot recommend this enough but older Yugioh games have a charm that is hard to nail down exactly but is charming while also challenging almost always.
There's also Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule: Breed and Battle for the PSX that seems more inline with the version from the Yugioh Season 0. It was also a monster raising sim where you could train and evolve your own monsters before using them in battle.
It’s interesting how you can talk for almost 5 minutes before actually getting into your main topic (the title of the video) and yet still have me enthralled and interested
I loved playing Capsule monsters coliseum Was pretty much the evolution of the OG game Kinda wished they made a new one since there’s more they can improve upon
I always hoped Konami would bring this or Dungeon Dice Monsters back. With D&D and other tabletops really taking off plus the advent of 3D printing making producing little figurines far cheaper than it was back in the day, I could see this being another avenue for them to sell YuGiOh.
I really loved the Capsule Monster stuff in the DM anime, even got my hands on the game for the ps2 back in the day :D But I wasn't aware that the game actually originated from season 0! :O
Omg! I had this game on the PS2! It was soo interesting and fun despite the fact I never fully beat the game (especially since I’d always play Duelist Of The Roses more)
Hear me out here. Say a Konami rep went over to Nintendo of Japan's HQ, the rep is a massive fan of Capsule Monsters. I'm sure you can tell where this is going. Nintendo partners with Konami to make Yu-Gi-Oh amiibos specifically tailored for a new and updated version of Capsule Monsters for the switch. The amiibos could be made in the image of the most famous monsters for the first wave to get nostalgia points and collectible potential. Each amiibo can hold a team of monster pieces up to 7. When you scan the amiibo in game you can either get into a match, or tweak your team comp. Think of the way Smash Bros Ultimate handles amiibo figures. In game, you can either generate or roll for monsters you want on your team. You can earn crafting materials to create your desired monster by playing, or spend in game currency you can also earn on monster packs to roll for the monster you want. If you get duplicates of monsters you already have, you can dismantle them for an equal amount of rarity points used for their crafting. Basically it's Master Duel's crafting system, but far more generous with crafting points. There's potential here for the hardcore collectors and fans.
Capsule Monster Coliseum is probably one of the most underrated PS2 games there is. Lots of fun and challenging as it should be. Plus it had the voice actors from the DM anime too.
Ikr? Watching this video made me want to power up my old ps2 to play the game :D
I loved Coliseum and played through it multiple times with multiple attributes
I'm glad someone else mentioned it.
Same exodia was op
I remember being really daunted first time playing that game but after the first play through I couldn't get enough. Sure wish playstation had backwards compatibility.
I think that the guy wanting Miho was already creepy for having a huge crush on a highschool student... the capsule thing really seals the deal though 😅
Just his appearance raised a lot of red flags for me.
It was like you are clearly a sicko for lusting after a schoolgirl...but then you show how unwell you truly are
God damn anime that didn't even strike until reading this comment!
Isn’t he in Highschool himself? Where tf did he get the saw like contraption to trap her inside a giant capsule lol
That creepy dude has limerence.

I have the game as well and enjoy jumping back in every now and then
Since we have cross dual it probly won't happen but this could have been a mobile game.
I agree, it has great fundamentals, I still play this game when working on turn based games
I play that game every year or 2 cause of nostalgia and cause how chill and fun it is.

It did take off tho, Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monster Colloseum exists
Except that wasn’t a filler duel, they reskinned the original mokuba game to that with miho in the anime. Everything else is a one to one otherwise.

It was also revealed that the grandpa chamber was not the only use of holograms. The prior duel with yugi where miniture visions of the monsters battled then attacked Kaiba for cheating (since it wasn't his rightful Blue-Eyes it turned on him when played along with the other monsters, a concept recycled for the duel agaisn Yami Kaiba on Duelist island in the English dub) inspired him to weaponize them against his opponents by creating a version of the game with holograms. In the anime, Kaiba just already had this in the works, but in the manga, the Solid State Image Dueling technology was a direct result of Kaiba witnessing Yugis magic. At the them, he believed it was some for of technology Yugi inexplicably set up, so Kaiba simply decided to one-up him with a superior version. Yugi has to beat the Younger Kiaba first who gets his own rematch at HIS game, but Yugi smashed him again. Mokuba reveals that he saved Tristin (who was supposedly dead at this point) and requests Yugi help his brother as well. Yugi then faces Kaiba, who cruely reveals he knew it would happen. Despite the deadly odds the entire time, he KNEW yugi would pass them including his brother who had no chance. This whole set up was his vengeance for the card loss so it didn't make sense that he would want Yugi to lose before their duel. It was all just set dressing as he felt Yugi was worth Dueling and any duelist worth Dueling him would pass all the tests. Mokuba was just one of these and was never believed to actually have a shot at his own vengeance. Kaiba was even mad at Mokuba for the pulling the food roulette stunt so he had his brother saved but also felt the public humiliation of losing his CMC title was a fitting punishment for interfering with Kaiba's own grand design revenge plot. Yugi Technically becomes both an official CMC Master and Duel Monster Champion at the end of this arc. The manga but the CMC stuff just isn't really brought up again. The manga turned to the cards mostly (with a little Bakura RPG stuff) after this so Mokuba and CMC dropped ofconsiderably. This is sad as it gave Mokuba a lot more to his own character. It was also a traditional Chess game that Kaiba won their adoption through and had to cheat during to do so. This is significant when you realize Mokuba selected a type of chess as his signature game and rampently cheated without guilt early on, a justified means to meet his end. He was so much more complex than his watered-down anime counterpart and CMC played a big part of it. It also feels weird that character like Mokuba wouldn't play games but he really did and was a prodigy as well. He just preferred CMC and didn't want to step on the toes of his brother. It is also infered this was done out if self-preservation since the Elder Kaiba held no sentiment when it came to the game and would never allow Moku to take the Champion slot from him anyway.
We did manage to get a Video Game for Capsule Monsters. Colosseum is a nice strategy game where elements come into play and most Maps have secret events that changes how you play the board.
The duels in the manga/anime used gacha machines to "ensure fairness" (i.e. so the opponent could manipulate the draws). In regular duels, the players would choose monsters from their collections.
1:53 this duel is Mokuba and Yugi in the Manga.
3:35 So they adapted the story with Mokuba but had to write a whole new duel because they did the previous filler one.
No.in the manga mokuba and Yugi dueled with capsule monsters twice. They just only show the 2nd time they dueled in the anime
Me and my buddy are still playing through the capsule monster collsiuem game and it's awesome. One of the best Yu-Gi-Oh games and capsule monsters itself is insanely fun
As everyone and their dog already stated, the first duel was different in the manga.
As there was no Miho and the opponent was Mokuba who was revenging his brother and also was presented as some kind of kid Yakuza boss since he was with a bunch of kids armed with guns and stuff and he claimed that if he won he would do on Yugi that Yakuza thing where they chop off your pinky finger
Mokuba and Kaiba is evil as fak in the manga ,suprise why Yugi don't send them to purple realm .
I liked the Capsule Monsters video game way better. In the video game they even had fields that’ll either give a monster an advantage or damage them in certain areas.
The board is pretty much your enemy's super power. It's almost always to their advantage. What's even better though is the field has stages, so you can also wait out the enemy's advantageous board phase by playing defensively then attack on the phases that the enemy is more vulnerable.
But sometimes it's not their board advantage since you can play to your advantage like marik phase 1 board, and the Pegasus element board, then marik poison board, oh also Kaiba last board just make his unit going to the damage zone then voila easy win against blue eyes 😂
Reading the manga currently. It's interesting the adaptions would sort of splice stories with other stories to make their own narrative. In the manga Mokuba's introduction sort of starts off what I would call the Death T arc. As it's also the first time we hear Kaiba has a plan in store for Yugi.
This would later lead into what would essentially be the 1st episode of the series we know now. Tho with a lot added in. Like Tea/Anzu working for Kaiba land, Tristan/Honda's little brother and the magic marker friendship art. Which hits a lot harder in the manga then it ever does in the anime. Especially Joey/Junochi's dialogue about as much as he's awful dad which we do see a bit in the manga, Run in with gangs and mostly powerless to change it. Being friends with Yugi/Yuugi in the manga was the first time he ever felt happy with he's life.
If they ever made a Yugioh-themed regular chess set I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Thousand Eyes Restrict as Kings? Dark Magician Girl, Maiden with Eyes of Blue, Gilford the Lightning and Relinquished as Queens? I can see it, and I love it.
Thank you for finally doing this. I love chess and I especially love tactical strategy games
Is really a fun game, in fact you can take this further and make combinable boards, what do I mean, each player can have his own half board with a established pattern and obstacles, combining them for a full board, or if they add more players, you could use a standard 8 by 8 board as the center piece and everyone put their respective board for their side.
You are so awesome for these rules! Your content is always appreciated! Thanks for making this franchise even cooler and more accessible!
If you want some more ideas, you could cover some of the video games rules. Sure could have a lot of fun explaining duelist of the roses, falsebound kingdom, Destiny Board
Since you mentioned the Capsule Monsters Chess game, how about talking about the Spin-off series, Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters and discuss the rules and trials that happened in that series?
I took some ideas from this spin off game when my friends and I worked on creating Yugioh D&D. It became a board game where you move your character token along the board with a D10 and it became a survival duel where you duel against many enemies until you make it to the boss, or Dungeon Master. You get battle rewards when you beat an enemy in the form of cards in the ban list. Which you can store in a separate pile and draw from there instead of your deck during the draw phase. If a hero loses then they get mind controlled and fight for the boss. If all heroes get controlled then the game gets the Bad End. I was usually the Dungeon Master since I have over 200 decks and I'd choose the enemies at random. When there were too many heroes, a friend who was my usual sparing partner, who understood my decks almost as well as I do, would help me be the villain and he'd throw in a few of his own decks. It's a lot of fun. We also choose a card to be our avatar so we'd can know what we all look like. Usually a card in the extra deck or any card not in the main deck. That's where the D&D part comes in.
Fun fact: In the Manga the first and last Capmon player we see is Mokuba and only Mokuba, the 1st capmon duel is actually his introduction and first meeting with Yugi. His goal there was to get revenge after Yugi put Kaiba in a Coma. The 2nd Capmon duel was during the Death-T arc, but Mokuba's 2nd appearance however is when he invited Yugi and Jonouchi to their house and tried to kill them with poisoned food (No not food poisoning like actual poisoned food) unfortunately for Jonouchi he was the test subject so Mokuba can tell Yugi
So in short: Capsule monsters was Mokuba's main thing in the manga
In the manga capumon is used more, but it's still not enough to fully understand it, it looks super interesting though
And also yugi duels mokuba in capumon instead of the anime guy, and miho only appeared in one chapter instead of being a main character like in the anime
Unironically this game would probably be HUGE as a mobile game with Gacha mechanics today
I still remember the Yugioh Capsule Monster videogame for the PS2. Excellent game, i absolutely loved it.
I'd love to see your opinion on Capsule Monster Coliseum the video game. It's basically the full version of this game in a video game, it's a great time and has a lot of bonus rules. It makes a very compelling strategy game.
Atem could literally pull nothing but max rarity monsters by using his ancient Egyptian dark magic, but decided to humiliate his opponent by using only commons. What a chad.
Capsule Monster Coliseum on the PS2 is still one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh! games I've ever played.
This just makes me want to play capsule monsters Colosseum again
I loved Capsule Monsters, I maxed out the in-game timer of the PS2 game when I was little, I just played the crap out of it~ Shame it didn't last longer because it would've really been great during the GX era with all the fusions and monsters.
This keeps reminding me of the Heroclix Yugioh sets that came out
I would love to see videos on the rules to more Season 1 games. A lot of them looked interesting.
Loading Capsule! And fire!
Come out, Dark Magician!
Capsule Monsters Coliseum was one of my favorite games as a kid and is probably my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh games
This is basically the Capsule Monster Colloseum PS2 Game and I'm crying that I didnt know this existed! I wouldve played the shit out of this!
I think one of the problems with the irl capsule monsters game was that there were already mini figures released that were about the size that could be used. But the game was not compatible with them.
7:12 “there are 6 different factions”
*proceeds to show AND read 8 factions
There also was a PS1 game for this in Japan
7:12
And thus, we learn that TGS can’t count.
Remember Capsule Monster Colusium? That game was amazing
The capsule monsters spinoff was weird and awsome at the same time. Wish we got more stuff like this
If you were in the capsule monsters world with 3 gen 1 monsters, who would you choose. You need 1 level 4 or lower, 1 level 5 or 6, and 1 level 7 or higher. I would want harpie lady, cosmo queen, and launcher spider
Then you've broken your own rules. Harpie Lady is level 4, yes. But Launcher Spider and Cosmo Queen are both level 7+. To answer your question, though...
Level 4: Mystical Elf
Level 6: Succubus Knight
Level 8: Cosmo Queen
@Snipergod1024 thanks, I thought the spider was level 6, then I will go with performer of swords
1-4: Giant Soldier of Stone
5-6: Summoned Skull
7+: Blue-Eyes White Dragon
The PS2 game was the best implementation of these rules. Honestly I wish Yugioh made more games like this, or at least made sequels to the ones they did make.
Funnily enough, I never knew about season 0 until I found a chapter of Yugioh in the manga, and that had the capsule monster duel between Yami Yugi and Mokuba
would play. surprised they haven't made a duel links style version of capsule or dungeon dice
Capsule Monster Coliseum (PS2)is one of my favorite games. I have many hours put into.
Yeah that game was so based the only problem I had with it was it was so hard
One thing that helps was trying each fight since some fights helped others
Decent analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
I wonder if Mokuba's duel with Yugi, or the monster properties are worth discussing.
This game never had a chance to be big but on the flip side, it did get a cool Yugioh game on the gamecube so that is something. Really, these yugioh spin off games like dungeon dice monsters and monster chess, could have been a great expansion to the world of yugioh, but no. Maybe another anime should do that but great look into this game!
Honestly i would only buy this now just to have something to put on my shelf
The second Capumon game made more sense in the manga since it was actually Mokuba that Yugi faces as he and his delinquent classmates kidnap our hero to get Seto’s attention and praise. Basically Mokuba was to Capumon what Seto was to Duel Monsters and Yugi beat both of them.
That’s why Mokuba comments on it not being the only game he knows how to play at the start of a duel in Duel Links. I don’t know why they went with the creep instead. I guess since they kept Miho as a character they felt the need to use her more. She was just a one off in the manga.
I feel like if you changed the boards a bit, simply by making it like play mats where each opponent brings a part of the board you could have some unique builds, with the board itself becoming apart of the strategy
I remember playing a ps2 game with this theme, I loved Yugioh and I received was a gift my father bought thinking was the card game he just saw in shop and buy it thinking was the card game .
I didn't get happy at the 1st then ended up playing a lot , back then internet wasn't accessible for me so everything was discovered with time, I remember in a math against bakura I belive my dark Magician evolve to dark chaos Magician plus in a random match in discovered fusion I had exodia full body . Great memories from my childhood
I didn't even know of the rl Capmon game. I did, however, know about the Dungeon Dice Monster one back in the day.
Shout out to the Capsule Monsters PS1 game for being the first ever Yugioh Video game! Yugi’s Ace monster was actually Zorc in that game
Man I loved the game on PS2 and I was so sad when I learned it stopped real life productions
Yugioh capsule monster Coliseum... Criminally underrated gam
Isnt the yugioh capsule monster ps2 game based off alot of these rules? I havent played it in years but I remember the king piece and movement patterns from that game mostly matching what was shown here
Honestly, that guy trying to capture Miho in a giant capsule by winning a game of Capsule Monster Chess doesn't even sound like the weirdest thing Yu-Gi-Oh! has gone with...
and it also made one of the best original spin off video games
I was fully expecting one or the capsules to have a bomb inside. Season 0 and the manga were wild.
Find it funny they took the first duel of Yugi against Mokuba for his first revenge duel for Seto and made it be with a character barely in the manga, and with a random character
Long term I think you run into a problem with storage, you can fit several decks of cards in the space it would take to store just one team of capsule monster figures. This doesn't sound like a huge problem at first with the limited release of the game we got, but imagine trying to maintain a collection of, say, 100 different monsters, and maybe duplicates of a few since as you pointed out there's no limits on copies of a given monster. At a small scale the game seems pretty cute and fun, but long term this feels like it would be a nightmare to collect and play competitively.
Is it possible to do a rules breakdown of the roller coaster duels in Yugioh Zexal? It lasted for only about a few episodes Duel-wise (ep51-53) but the concept was pretty interesting and may have been a pseudo-prototype to how some rules in Action Duels in Arc V turned out. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I always wanted dungeon dice monsters to really take off but sadly it never did
One day they should do a video game with a bunch of these extra games in it (Capsule Monster Chess, Dungeon Dice Monsters and any others.)
So Capsule Monsters has a similar win rule to Dungeon Dice Monsters where you need to reduce hp to zero (heart points in ddm, hit points in capsule monsters).
Edit: there's also a video game version of Capsule Monsters...don't know what game device it's for though
It's on PS2! Never tried it myself though, but if you have a PS2, a retro-compatible PS3, or a """PS2""", I say go for it! From what I've heard it's a rather fun game to play.
Oh the game is absolutely fire. You play as yugi and go through different areas as you climb the ladder to become King of Capsule Monsters. There are lots of different field that can boost or reduce pieces of certain factions that even change those boosts and effects as time goes on. It really is like Yugioh chess where monster movements, abilities and strategy are vital to win. If you or anyone gets the chance to play it do so as blind to the game as you can so you can feel satisfied with your own skills and then once beaten play with the knowledge of other players from the past so you can try out cool plays of your own. I cannot recommend this enough but older Yugioh games have a charm that is hard to nail down exactly but is charming while also challenging almost always.
There's also Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule: Breed and Battle for the PSX that seems more inline with the version from the Yugioh Season 0.
It was also a monster raising sim where you could train and evolve your own monsters before using them in battle.
@@LigraxeGabriel Plus Capsule Monsters GB. Both are Japan-exclusives, but have unofficial translations.
I remember playing Capsule monster Coliseum on the PS2
One of disappointing they didn’t bring Dungeon Dice Monsters back after the initial story arc.
I still think capsule monsters should make a comeback, the ps2 game was fire.
As someone who played a game pretty similar to this (krosmaster), you are indeed correct on the assumption of limitations
7:11 Even the number six is seeing inflation! Things have gone too far!
It’s interesting how you can talk for almost 5 minutes before actually getting into your main topic (the title of the video) and yet still have me enthralled and interested
Didn't even mention Capsule Monster Colliseum! I demand a follow up video! 😤🤣
I loved playing Capsule monsters coliseum
Was pretty much the evolution of the OG game
Kinda wished they made a new one since there’s more they can improve upon
Yugi: "So it just like duel monsters/dungeon dice monsters."
... no.. mine has action points...
I always hoped Konami would bring this or Dungeon Dice Monsters back. With D&D and other tabletops really taking off plus the advent of 3D printing making producing little figurines far cheaper than it was back in the day, I could see this being another avenue for them to sell YuGiOh.
It's like Dungeon Dice Monsters. There was potential, but not enough hype. Which is a dam shame.
Fun fact. In the Manga mokuba was the character who introduced this game.
7:12 - 7:20 I think Sam meant to say eight different factions instead of six
I did 😅
I wish dungeon dice monsters and capsule monsters Would've had spinoffs or more than their debut outings
Talking of Capsule Monsters, I would love a Video about the PS2 Game Capsule Monster Colliseum!
I need to tease you on this 7:10
"There are 6 different factions Dark,Earth,Fire,Wood,Light,Thunder, Water?, Wind?! "
“And here we see the proto-incel in its raw, natural environment.”
You should do 1 of these videos that cover the Shadow RPG from the Anime and Manga
The capsule monster movie is 🔥
There isn't a Capsule monsters movie
@@bigfish5544 I think Matt means the CM World arc.
@@ehx3419 yeah probably
If I remember correctly, there were two Mokuba Capsule Monster duels and no Capsule Queen duel in the manga. Weird that the anime changed that.
I really loved the Capsule Monster stuff in the DM anime, even got my hands on the game for the ps2 back in the day :D But I wasn't aware that the game actually originated from season 0! :O
Omg! I had this game on the PS2! It was soo interesting and fun despite the fact I never fully beat the game (especially since I’d always play Duelist Of The Roses more)
I just finished watching the Capsule Monster arc last night. I love divine timing
The real life rules were so similar yet so different to the rules in the ps2 game Capsule Monster Coliseum
I would like to see a video talking about all the shadow games and normal games in the season zero stuff for the manga and anime.
“There are six factions”. Then proceeds to show on-screen and name eight factions lol.😊
This game has basically moved itself into the Hero Clix game to keep itself alive.
I remember playing the PS2 game Yu-Gi-Oh capsule monster coliseum so i knew what this video would be about
Actually the Gacha machine pulling was just an effect of how they were doing it for those specific duels
I think there was also this weird Chinese elemental dragon card game that Yami Yugi played with against another guy in the og manga.
Hear me out here. Say a Konami rep went over to Nintendo of Japan's HQ, the rep is a massive fan of Capsule Monsters. I'm sure you can tell where this is going. Nintendo partners with Konami to make Yu-Gi-Oh amiibos specifically tailored for a new and updated version of Capsule Monsters for the switch. The amiibos could be made in the image of the most famous monsters for the first wave to get nostalgia points and collectible potential. Each amiibo can hold a team of monster pieces up to 7. When you scan the amiibo in game you can either get into a match, or tweak your team comp. Think of the way Smash Bros Ultimate handles amiibo figures. In game, you can either generate or roll for monsters you want on your team. You can earn crafting materials to create your desired monster by playing, or spend in game currency you can also earn on monster packs to roll for the monster you want. If you get duplicates of monsters you already have, you can dismantle them for an equal amount of rarity points used for their crafting. Basically it's Master Duel's crafting system, but far more generous with crafting points. There's potential here for the hardcore collectors and fans.
Weird that you covered this before Battle Royal Duels from Arc V.
Im actually watching Season 5 where they go into the Capsule Monster shadow game arc right now. Holy crap lol
That season of the anime was really BAD but Season 0 never got a Official English dub either.
