Gem Knights are one of my top 3 favourite archetypes alongside Lightsworn and Dark World. I have so much fun playing with them because they are easy to use, have fast mechanics and are very open to creativity changes. Plus any deck that combines well with Earth attribute is going to be a handy ally to Gem Knights.
The Gem-Knight archetype is really good, too bad it's a bit undereated... People say that fusion deck aren't good, and that it's just a cheap tactic to make weak gems stronger, but I'm sure this deck would not go down at the hands of such people, because it's so much better. But they can go ahead and beat it if they're able... I think they're just mad cause they're single...
They just don't get enough love like other decks, and I feel like people should show respect for them. I like Masumi in Arc V, even though she got one win and got push to the side like Yaiba, she's still my favorite female character in Arc V. I wish that she and her deck got more credit than they were given. T_T
I love this archetype. I got it alongside my ghostricks from a friend who was selling competitive prebuilt decks around them and i didn't regret buying them. To this day im trying to improve them as it seems theyre going to get support
Compare the Gem-Knight Archetype to Steven Universe. Gem-Knight Amethyst = Amethyst Gem-Knight Pearl= Pearl Gem-Knight Garnet = Fusion of Ruby and Sapphire Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli = Lapis Lazuli Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond = Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond, Pink Diamond, White Diamond Gem-Knight Ruby = Ruby Gem-Knight Fusion = The way Gems fuse in Steven Universe by dancing. Gem-Knight Sardonyx = Fusion of Garnet and Pearl Gem-Knight Sapphire = Sapphire
Makes me also wonder if Gem Knights are meant to be a Deck based off the Elemental HEROES and Crystal Beasts together what if the Crystal Beasts became the equivalent of Neo-Spacians to Gem Knights and Konami made Crystal Fusions using the Knights and Beasts as Fusion material Interesting playstyle would be after fusing you can choose to have the Beasts go to the graveyard or to the Spell Trap Zone to be used as Fusion material later or power up the other Beasts
The Duel Terminal was some kind of game that introduced a bunch of archetypes who all participated in some kind of great story; archetypes include Worms, Ally of Justice and Genex. But there's also another story which may or may not be an extension of that same story; which involves a whole lot of other newer archetypes. Archetypes involve Shaddolls, Evilswarm, Qliphorts, Gishki and/or Nekroz, Gusto, etc. Basically, a lot of archetypes seem to have a lot of monsters who borrow from other monsters, like how the Shaddoll fusions are corrupted versions of other monsters. It's really cool how much lore is incorporated in these monsters, it's just hard to figure out which monsters connect in what ways, and I'm still not sure if there's more than one story than just Duel Terminal, or if it has a really long story.
@@iBenjamin1000 I'm a bit late, but yes, the Duel terminal stories are all connected. They all happen in the same world but certain things causes that world to start over such as when Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier froze the surface of the world, then later appearing as an Evilswarm during the battle between the 4 clans and the Steelswarm.
Fun Fact: it's pronounced "Kamen Rider Ohs" or "ozu" in its original Japanese annunciation. Sorry that sounds douchey but I can't think of a different way to word that. I just love Kamen Rider.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but at 00:51, when he said "Jesse Anderson's Crystal Beasts", there's Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon in the left side of Ruby Carbuncle. I guess you could say he's *puts on sunglasses* the 'odd' one out.YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH
there's so much research... i plan on making a yugioh movie based on the duel terminal story where the characters use the decks from the DT and it plays out like the actual story, but with a few added in stuff such as new decks making their way in to keep things interesting
Homage to their “Friendship”. Are you sure that’s all it is? I don’t recall any other friendship being deemed so close and iconic it got immortalized in a separate deck all together.
the Cairngorgon guy is actually shaddollified, not Evilswarmed. we see his helmet on shaddoll core, then later his full form is returned in El shaddoll grysta, and finally, a crumbling shell in saqlifice
Oh that's right i heard the story over and over again i'm so glad to finally meet your other gem animals (This is funny because they have non crystal beast gem animals and this is part of a song from steven universe the movie if you didn't get it
They are a fast and versatile deck. Easy to take opponent down a variety of ways. Fusions support each other in really good ways. Short strategy. Get Lady Diamond out first turn while tributing lazuli or obsidian. You'll get back a level 4 or lower normal monster. Play that monster. Effect it into Topaz. Attack. Win.
I fell in love with this archetype when I pulled a shatter foil prismaura and obsidian from the duel terminal. My mom's lunch money was totally worth it lol
I've been watching a lot of your videos, or at least I have them on in the background while I do things... So I figured I would subscribe. Thank you for your fantastic content!
Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, Crystal(Quartz) Lapis Lazuli, Sardonyx, Ruby&Sapphire and Gem fusion as well as diamonds being the boss (monsters). Yep they're the crystal gems
8:16 my head canon for obsidian is they were long ago a laval shaman who with old age there fire began fading but was healed by the obsidian soul and joined the gem knights acting as a medicine woman and mage on the team .and about her appearing male maybe it's the armor/she buff/she T H I C C (I'm so sorry)
6 fusion cards? Neat, as a shadoll player with 5 fusion cards and with a field spell which basically turns the fusion cards into superpolimerizations I can see the similarities
Simple Gem-Knight Combo: Fusion summon Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond Normal summon any gem knight Activate Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond’s effect to fusion summon Master Diamond by tributing the Gem-Knight monster you normal summoned. Stall time until you can fusion summon Gem-Knight Ruby, where you can activate their effect to tribute Gem-Knight Master Diamond and give Ruby it’s gained ATK points. Hope that was easy to understand
We are the crystal clods They always wreck my day By breaking all my stuff By getting in my way Thats why i contacted homeworld There leaving to come to earth to crush those gems, and Steven
15:08 since Crystal Rose appeared, how about a trivia on Melodious archetype some time later? In the anime, the gem knight girl (i forgot her name) gave this card to Yuzu and she used it well with her deck.
Gem-Knight is my favourite archetype, I have this cool combo I use a lot and it is simple, you need 2 Brilliant diamonds 2 Phantom Quartzes 1 Ruby 1 other 2 card fusion 3 Gem-Knight monsters in your hand* 1 fusion spell* *Brilliant Fusion And 1 Gem-Knight in your hand also Works 1.Summon your two card fusion and summon the other Gem Knight 2. Link them into Phantom Quartz and add a Gem-Knight monster to your hand 3. Use its other effect and summon Brilliant Diamond 4. Use Diamonds effect to tribute Quartz and summon Ruby 5. Use Ruby's Effect on Diamond to get 5900 ATK Next Turn 6. Summon a Gem-Knight monster from your hand and summon your other Quartz and add another monster to your hand 7. Use Quartz's effect and shuffle The Ruby, the diamond and the quartz to summon the Second Diamond 8. Repeat Steps 4-7 Thats it! It's Quite useful for Legacy of the duelist link evolution and all you need to do is spam Zuzu Packs
Jem Knight saconium is one of my favorite because of how big he is just like the Earth monarch but at the same time His weapon is his 2 giant fist Even without special abilities it's very difficult to be 2900 attack point monster
I feel like this archetype would have fit really well in the GX anime
Considering it represents Jesse and Jaden's bond it could fit in a GX sequel with let's say Jesse switching between Crystal Beasts and Gem Knights
Yeah
@@aozorahaou2643, yep, Judai and Johan are a possible couple.
imagine not understanding what a reference is
Also they’re possible romance to eachother
When you just want Ruby and Sapphire to fuse into Garnet.
What would you want that for?
@@emanuelstornello8009 you wouldn’t understand

"Fusion is a just cheap trick to make weak gem knights stronger!"-gem knight Jasper, probably

I have so much fun playing with them because they are easy to use, have fast mechanics and are very open to creativity changes. Plus any deck that combines well with Earth attribute is going to be a handy ally to Gem Knights.
I matched it with Adamancipator to search and place multiple monsters on the field for more materials.
I want to run a Gem Knight deck, but man the Cards are Expensive.
Try Duelingbook or Dueling Nexus.
That is why they’re called gem knights peridot
Another thing to note about Lady Diamond is that it seems to be "canonically" summoned via Brilliant Fusion, hence "Brilliant" in its name.
Amazing video. They need to make a series based on the monsters alone.
I agree it sounded amazing
Sardonyx is based off the sardonyx stone, not pure onyx....
Sardonyx... is a type of Onyx still... so.... what he said is still true...
No offense but I thought you're last name was seamen sorry
Jimmy Seaman wow your unfortunate sorry man
The Gem-Knight archetype is really good, too bad it's a bit undereated...

I think they're just mad cause they're single...
With Magnet Reverse and Foolish Burial with Belongings they have more of a fighting chance.
I see what you did there 😊
steven universe reference nice.
i see what you did there xD
They just don't get enough love like other decks, and I feel like people should show respect for them.

Wow... That's a very well thought out backstory and very inclusive to other archtypes... I wish others do this in the future.
I love this archetype. I got it alongside my ghostricks from a friend who was selling competitive prebuilt decks around them and i didn't regret buying them.
To this day im trying to improve them as it seems theyre going to get support
Man if Steven Universe ever played YGO we all know which Deck he's using
A random fairy archetype
@?BehindTheMask¿ Why? Steven universe is awesome
@?BehindTheMask¿ well I think Steven universe is awesome and you can't change my mind so don't even fucking try

Fusion summoning is a cheap tactic to make weak gem knights stronger
*pulls out a boom box*
This is gem knight garnet, back together…
“Fusion summoning is a cheap tactic to make weak gem knights stronger” the laval
“Cheap tactic”??
Idk how to say this but gem Knight deck gives me so much main character vibes deck , i could really see a yugioh protagonists with this deck.
OMG this archetype lore had sooo many different archetypes involved🤣
I never knew odd-eyes was a crystal beast or one of Jesse's cards
Well he hardly used odd-eyes but it was in his Deck.
??????
Thank you for this!!! Gem Knights and Crystal Beasts are my favorite decks!
Hope you enjoyed, don't forget to drop a like. Yugioh GX profile on Friday. Oh and Mob Psycho finale review later tonight.
Compare the Gem-Knight Archetype to Steven Universe.

Can you do the Six Samurai archetype?
TGS Anime who is best re:zero girl and why is it Rem?
crystal rose, the prisma for gem knights.
Gem Knight Sapphire seems like the kind of monster card who'd sacrifice his friends to become a God Hand
0:52 Ah yes, my favorite Crystal Beast, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon
Makes me also wonder if Gem Knights are meant to be a Deck based off the Elemental HEROES and Crystal Beasts together what if the Crystal Beasts became the equivalent of Neo-Spacians to Gem Knights and Konami made Crystal Fusions using the Knights and Beasts as Fusion material
Interesting playstyle would be after fusing you can choose to have the Beasts go to the graveyard or to the Spell Trap Zone to be used as Fusion material later or power up the other Beasts
that was a good trivia episode i never knew that there was a story about the gem knights , gusto, gishki , leval, and so many more

did anyone else notice tgs put constellar instead of vylon when he sayed the gishki's and gem knight might of teamed up?
Gem Knights are my second favorite kind of monster behind Red Eyes monsters

People saying that this is a reference to steven universe you forgot 1 thing, gem knights have more than 1 gender. ;)
Fun Fact: it's pronounced "Kamen Rider Ohs" or "ozu" in its original Japanese annunciation. Sorry that sounds douchey but I can't think of a different way to word that. I just love Kamen Rider.

Man gem-knights are one of my most favorite archetype I love their designs so much
Whenever I hear contact fusion, I always think of the fusion dance
They’re named after rare crystals?
They can fuse with one another?
They are fighters?
Why is no one else mentioning the Steven Universe parallels?
The gem-knights and gustos were my two favorite archetypes from the duel terminal.
"Kamen Rider Triple O"... ouch
*B I G O O F*
"kamen rider triple O"...that's funny
I'd like to hear u tell a more in depth version of this backstory. I found that really interesting. Love the content sir. Keep up the good work
Er, Great video, I LOVE your series, but... Sardonyx is it's own mineral in terms of classification. It's not just Onyx.
yooo I love how in depth the lore is in this!
So much trivia. Gishki, steel swarm, gusto, constellation, vylon. Just So Much TRIVIA
My favourite is Gem-Knight Ruby its helped me win so many duels
I can't be the only one seeing a possibility of a solid link with this between Steven Universe and Yu-Gi-Oh.
I love gem knight crystal his design and stance always makes me think of dark souls I think of him as a noble knight afraid of becoming hollow
Love his accent when pronouncing the gem names
The series is called Kamen Rider O's but it is spelt OOO
also Lazuli is pronounced Lazulee
a few tiny errors but besides that, awesome episode
Homage to their “Friendship”. Are you sure that’s all it is? I don’t recall any other friendship being deemed so close and iconic it got immortalized in a separate deck all together.
the Cairngorgon guy is actually shaddollified, not Evilswarmed. we see his helmet on shaddoll core, then later his full form is returned in El shaddoll grysta, and finally, a crumbling shell in saqlifice
This is probably one of my favorite archetypes in Yu-Gi-Oh
this was so cool. Great vid. You should do the fairytale cards that Leon uses in the anime. Not sure if they're an official archetype.
It hurt my heart every time he said lolite instead of iolite.
Gem Knights vs Crystal Gems from Steven Universe. MAKE THAT HAPPEN!
Oh that's right i heard the story over and over again i'm so glad to finally meet your other gem animals
(This is funny because they have non crystal beast gem animals and this is part of a song from steven universe the movie if you didn't get it
Every time I use Gem-Knight Fusion, Steven Universe's theme plays in my head.
Looking forward to using a few of these cards in duel links
Kade Ketterling I came to this video just to learn more about them for duel links. How many gems u got saved? I have 2500
6000 and a 15$ itunes gift gard, im going in for this box.
They are a fast and versatile deck. Easy to take opponent down a variety of ways. Fusions support each other in really good ways.
Short strategy. Get Lady Diamond out first turn while tributing lazuli or obsidian. You'll get back a level 4 or lower normal monster. Play that monster. Effect it into Topaz. Attack. Win.
been waiting for this video for a while, timing could not have been more perfect as I just got the deck. My favorite is crystal.
this is my favorite archetype
I fell in love with this archetype when I pulled a shatter foil prismaura and obsidian from the duel terminal. My mom's lunch money was totally worth it lol

“Crystal beasts” shows picture that has odd eyes and 2 other whatever’s
The backstory would make a fun spin-off series
gem knights will always be my favourite
we are the crystal gems

yeap Hey !! Where is Peridot
And Steven don't forget him.
+i want to be a hero
i LOVE your name
Crystal gems always save the day and if you think we can will always find a way that's why believe in grant amethyst and pearl and Steven
Out of all the Gem Knights the Gem Knight Crystal has to be my favorite
Damn that story at the beginning is DOPE!!! Where's the yugioh spin-off about this all-out war?
8:16 my head canon for obsidian is they were long ago a laval shaman who with old age there fire began fading but was healed by the obsidian soul and joined the gem knights acting as a medicine woman and mage on the team .and about her appearing male maybe it's the armor/she buff/she T H I C C (I'm so sorry)

Shoutouts to Gem Knight Garnet carrying Brilliant Fusion
I never knew you had heard of Kamen Rider
Did anyone else pop a blood vessel when he said Gem-Knight Sardonyx is based on onyx?
I knew the Gustos would have to mentioned here, the duel terminal story was pretty rough for my cards
Simple Gem-Knight Combo:
Fusion summon Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond
Normal summon any gem knight
Activate Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond’s effect to fusion summon Master Diamond by tributing the Gem-Knight monster you normal summoned.
Stall time until you can fusion summon Gem-Knight Ruby, where you can activate their effect to tribute Gem-Knight Master Diamond and give Ruby it’s gained ATK points.
Hope that was easy to understand
"He wields a slingblade"
Mmmmhhmmm.... Gem Knight taters
I always forget these things aren't in GX but instead in ARC-V
Someone has probably already pointed this out but it's pronounced i-o-lite, I'm fairly positive it's named for Io of greek mythology
the OOO is referred as O's in Kamen Rider OOO, also have you even done trivia on the monsters with a motor bike in the artwork?

3 Gem-Knight monsters in your hand*
1 fusion spell*
*Brilliant Fusion And 1 Gem-Knight in your hand also Works
1.Summon your two card fusion and summon the other Gem Knight

5. Use Ruby's Effect on Diamond to get 5900 ATK
