Did you forget the part when Gimmick Puppet Nightmare emerged out of the dreadful alba lenatus and saved the day by not allowing the despian forces to special summon monsters during the turn it was summoned, except "Gimmick Puppet" monsters? Really good summary still, though.
@@Fearthelogic I got gimmick puppet locked at YCS philly AND that was what knocked me out of the tournament entirely lol getting tilted at it is more then justifiable 🤣
Historical records aren't clear on that. Some say it was actually a decipel of the Winged Dragon of Ra and others still claim it was actually the legendary Ido, a Supremem Magical Force. The most interesting accounts are those that say Ido was actually destroyed by the Despia and tied it's magic to the heros' forces, crippling them and allowing the Despia to crush them once and for all. Perhaps they're all true and glimpses into alternate realities?
I had no idea that all these different archetypes shared lore! Especially sword soul, ice jade, and spright being intertwined with the story of dogmatika/branded
Omg Finally I found an explanation of the albaz stories, I've been confused seeing each other characters appears in each other archetype in despia, dogmatika, tribrigade, swordsoul, springans and many more ❤
No Marvel styled post-credit scene where *Fallen of Argyros* looks up at *Albaz* and *Ecclesia* flying away at the end? But seriously, 10/10 presentation. It's great having this all in a video.
With Konami establishing an animation studio, my expectations are high, and I hope they live up to them without any disappointment. On another note, thank you for sharing this fantastic story. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and hopefully, there will be an anime adaptation in the near future.
I really loved that you were able to compress the lore in a 15 min video, others take several videos of hours each trying to go into detail. One thing I noticed is that you missed the moment in that Maximus transforms into the monster with 3k attack and is unnafected by fusion monsters. I forgot the name
the sad moment is that it is this story that makes me love the Albaz deck more than the meta defining properties of it... Plus come on, all of Albaz's forms are freaking epic looking
You look at all the yugioh cards from the past, like dark magician you don't really think about the cards lore, but holy cow this should be it's own show
anyone else wonder what the characters would sound like ( eg kit like tau kaka or sargas sounding like allmight and the spriggans being the reds/blues)
I need to see the card order names of this summary. Makes me want to obsessively search each name. Overall, nice job in using the cards to exaplin the lore
Imagine if Konami stops making anime about children playing card games and instead made them based off of card lore like the Albaz and World Chalice storylines. I love the original 3 YGO series, but a anime derived from the materials a card game doesn’t have actually be about the playing the card game itself.
I really do hope so, if they make a new anime they could give this deck to someone important...that way the person can tell the story to someone else and we could actually see it in the anime
This video was sick! I'm currently a noob trying who didn't know at all what to pick, but after this and some more looking at card art, I reaaaally want to make some sort of albaz deck with the current available stuff in master duels. I've gotten everything in the alba secret pack except albaz the ashen and a couple of UR dragons - and don't really know where to go from here, since every website says different things. Any suggestions? It looks super fun and scratches my "need lore" itch (and I now want every card shown in this awesome video).
Great Video! I saw a video where the story was expanded to over an hour. And I still think that the story is so awesome, Konami should do an animated series or a videogame from it. Riot does the same with their characters from League, so why shouldn't Konami do that?
Great video mate. really enjoyed the narration, sound & graphical effects, I also really appreciate the captions, just a few notes though: @2:20 Sprind is not an Albaz transformation, instead it is a mechanical vechile created by Kitt & the springans, it's used to test Albaz & Ecclesia (who you can see inside the vechile), on their ability to join the Springans on their missions & salvages, eventually succeeding in finding lost treasures & what would be Ecclesia's new weapon in the art of Springans Booty @4:05 Albaz's Transformation is not voluntary, instead it's a result of Maximus's actions in Dogmatika, which activates his brand along with the ushering of the Thespians/Despians, also this dragon is an untamed beast, who is not in control, and casts a hazard, not only to the serpent, but also to his fellow allies, that's why he's struck by Iris/Fleur along with the serpent, he is finally tamed when he hears Ecclesia call out the name she gave him, Albaz, thus finally he is calmed, and transforms into his shrouded form
There are a few problems with this one tho : Quem is the first saint of dragon dogma/dogmatika, the girl in red hair are sacrificial children for her to be possessed, because quem was already dead before the start of the story, she then sacrificed for bystial creations, while quem possessed the defeated ecclesia. her effect specifically use other monster to buff herself, mirroring her power of control others and her sacrificial status since you can't kill the high level dogmatika without killing her first while she is on the field.
dogmatika/dragon dogma believe that become a a dragon is the ultimate form of enlightenment, maximus and quem sadly met aluber instead albaz prior to the beginning of the story, aluber is actually a demon not a dragon as you can see from his real form masquerade and his name in Japanese basically means false son of God while albaz is legitimate son of God, we can see that maximus is actually a decent man in the dogmatika token artwork.
@@r3zaful what dogmatika token? also what card that shows maximus met aluber first? the rest i agree. as the name implies ; he is masquerading a dragon, but in fact, his type is fiend. aluber original type is also fairy, not dragon. I purely believe aluber does this just out of boredom, as his token flavortext said : he mocked the light while deceiving the dark. He's his own alignment.
It's amazing how much lore can be told from the art alone. I was eager to get new support everytime just to get more of the lore. Hope we'll get to see them again someday! The art, the story, the cards, branded evolved each time and it was so fun. Probably the best thing konami has ever done.
konami needs to step up their game. Main series anime has been in decline since forever and the way netflix series are done nowadays they could make the amazing lore of some of the game archetypes like branded or world legacy into something like Arcane, Vox Machina, Castlevania, DOTA, etc... They could even go for an episodic take for the smaller arquetypes like one week Spyrals, the next Blackwings, the next Necroz, etc.. It has so much potential besides what they have been doing for the last 25 years, besides a hit series or movie on netflix would amp the momentum the franchise got with master duel the last couple of years introducing new people to the game also.
This is now the shortest, most concise way to explain to someone what the Albaz lore is. It must've taken you a while to draft the best script for this. Well done :D
this is some final fantasy shit right here... i just rejoined into yugioh and i didnt know so many achrtypes worked well together let alone connected story wise.
KONAMI if it was a smart company: _"We could hire an anime studio to make a series out of this"_ Actual KONAMI: _"Here, have a field center and a playmat. Take it or leave it"_ EDIT: Holy macarroni, they actually did it
Also actual KONAMI: "Here's a video with a lot of lore lessons in animation, and later we released a quiz to find out which lore you'd like to see in anime."
Did you forget the part when Gimmick Puppet Nightmare emerged out of the dreadful alba lenatus and saved the day by not allowing the despian forces to special summon monsters during the turn it was summoned, except "Gimmick Puppet" monsters? Really good summary still, though.
KEKW pinned.
someone loss to gimmick puppet at locals sheesh
@@Fearthelogic I got gimmick puppet locked at YCS philly AND that was what knocked me out of the tournament entirely lol getting tilted at it is more then justifiable 🤣
Ok now this is canon in my head.
Historical records aren't clear on that. Some say it was actually a decipel of the Winged Dragon of Ra and others still claim it was actually the legendary Ido, a Supremem Magical Force.

I had no idea that all these different archetypes shared lore! Especially sword soul, ice jade, and spright being intertwined with the story of dogmatika/branded
And bystials dont forget
And Gimmick Puppet Nightmare
There is a surprising amount of cut stuff like the importance of the hole, and other things that I'm not 100% sure are canon so I won't say them.
They couldve cut spright.. in general.. such a lame archetype
They are making an actual Yugioh anime beard on this lore entirely. Full on good art, no card games, like a regular anime series!
The main character of this Story are not Albaz, Aluber or Ecclesia, but Gimmick Puppet Nightmare
Dude so my whole deck are bad guys 😞
This is why I love branded, you make it feel like something bigger than any other deck (whether is real or not, it is for me).
Omg Finally I found an explanation of the albaz stories, I've been confused seeing each other characters appears in each other archetype in despia, dogmatika, tribrigade, swordsoul, springans and many more ❤
Imagine in the middle of the battle of good vs evil…BIG SPACE ROCK !
…and there where no survivors
I play dogmatika. This was an eye opener. Still will play it because its a pain in the ass for some of my friends.
No Marvel styled post-credit scene where *Fallen of Argyros* looks up at *Albaz* and *Ecclesia* flying away at the end?

The springans albaz fusion is when albaz and ecclesia move with kitt across the desert when the serpent is awakened
Not gonna lie, I would really like an anime of this entire story.
Aluber just wanted to be inside Albaz fr fr
I really loved that you were able to compress the lore in a 15 min video, others take several videos of hours each trying to go into detail. One thing I noticed is that you missed the moment in that Maximus transforms into the monster with 3k attack and is unnafected by fusion monsters. I forgot the name
You mean proskenion?
Thank you so much. I always wanted a short narrated story of the albaz lore and this is everything I wanted it to be
IT’S HERE!!!! Been more excited for this than any game or movie release this year no cap 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
sinse i started watching you ive almost got a full power branded deck now. i knew nothing about the lore so this is insane
This was EPIC. Wow. Best Albaz lore video I’ve ever seen. World legacy lore next??
I didn't know quaretis is a dragon or draconic in form.
Albaz and Albion are my two favorite cards of the Branded/Despia archetype.
They need to make this into a series honestly
This video was a banger! Keep it up
the sad moment is that it is this story that makes me love the Albaz deck more than the meta defining properties of it...
Plus come on, all of Albaz's forms are freaking epic looking
ah yes, the one and only protagonist in albaz's story
kitt
Amazing right there. I need more lol
This deserves an anime adaptation or a movie trilogy
bystiel, spright, dogmatika,swordsoul,despia,icejade,tri-brigade,springans,therion.
all these cards are 1 archetype. all because of albaz, damn
You look at all the yugioh cards from the past, like dark magician you don't really think about the cards lore, but holy cow this should be it's own show
I love the visuals! There are many mistakes though. Would have been cool to oversee with either Aura or Golden Nova
Kitt always come in clutch
amazing work, deserves much more views
Good work, thank you !
Super impressed by this and visas video, ❤ hope you do more and more in a fan now
EPIC!
Love hearing about one of my favorite archetypes
This could be an anime cool
If this would be an anime it would probbly be at the level of guran lagen. So epic
This is a 2-4 season anime by itself idk why Konami doesn’t pump these out with each few archetypes it would deff bump popularity for the game
That's why Fallen of Albaz is my favorite card and go to! Thanks for the lore, here's a sub.
hopefully 14:23 the new frontier they reach will be more ablaz support
anyone else wonder what the characters would sound like ( eg kit like tau kaka or sargas sounding like allmight and the spriggans being the reds/blues)
Wow great work, would it be ok if i used your video as a template to translate it in french on my channel, and giving you credit?
Please don’t reupload my content :)
wow I did not know there were like 12 different archetypes that were all connected in lore
Nice video but... what happened to Icejade Gymir Aegerine? I think she also played a key role in the last battle. Great narration for the best lore.
I love this!!!
Where is the part when the Dark Magician joins to the battle and fuse with Albaz into the Red Eyes Dark Dragoon to kicking everyones ass??? :v
Good headcanon, lol, did you see the pinned comment about puppet gimmick? Haha
Hahaha 🤣
All thanks to Aluber
Religion: **exists**
Japan: EVIIIIIIL!!!
You should keep doing videos like this one.
When the Shiranui story line gets finished, I may attempt something similar to this.
And it all sets up for a season 2
I. WANT. A. FALLEN. OF. ALBAZ. ANIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
T_T This is the best lore EVER created by Yugioh! I never want to play another deck outside of Branded T_T
Thanks for the story. As a Branded player, I like it even more!
Great video, but whats the song at 12:20 ? it sounds so familiar
I love how much my Tri-brigades were a part of this lore.
I need to see the card order names of this summary. Makes me want to obsessively search each name. Overall, nice job in using the cards to exaplin the lore
Bro damn this would make a great one-shot anime
thats why he's the GOAT, the GOAT!
THE GOAAAAT!
You need to do something like this but for World Legacy
This is going to tough when they make these in story mode on master duel
Men don't cry!
But duelists do....
This will make a great Anime !
Imagine if Konami stops making anime about children playing card games and instead made them based off of card lore like the Albaz and World Chalice storylines. I love the original 3 YGO series, but a anime derived from the materials a card game doesn’t have actually be about the playing the card game itself.
That's organized religion for ya!
Dude this is awesome!!
Love this so much!
So, Aluber is either from the same race like Albaz or he's a fragment of Albaz
Beautiful!! Subscribed 👌👌👌
Well this less burh burh lmao than the world legacy storyline
Icejades got the short end of the stck
Omg this is beautiful Ecclesia and Albaz in happy ending 🥹
A true masterpiece
You forgot the part where Albaz and Ecclessia declare their love for each other!
You should have told them he fell from the sanctuary in the sky
Can you do the Magician's lore? Endymion, Magistus, etc...
we still don't know what's that black ball entity thing on albaz shoulder/inside ecclesia's hammer! xD
amazing.
finally, some good lore in yugioh. whod have thonk
Now when can we have the anime haha
The bystials give hollow vibes
Did you forget the part about iris sword soul returning when despian luluwalilith hits the graveyard?
BRANDED BEST DECK LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Is there any source so we can check the story for ourselfs and read it like articel´s or a book?
This is amexing🎉
Wee need a albaz dogmatica despia anime it has so much potential and would boost the popularity of the tcg
i would pay money for someone to produce something like that
how is this archetypical story not an anime? This would be an epic show.
I really do hope so, if they make a new anime they could give this deck to someone important...that way the person can tell the story to someone else and we could actually see it in the anime
@@squishyking129 Give it to Joey. He told Gearfried's story to Rex.
@@squishyking129 Would be better if the stories themselves were the anime, rather than people playing a card game
@@squishyking129 hell, konami is apperently making a sky striker light novel... hopeful we'll get an albaz lighht novel too
@ruikirisame1744 u lie nah we have hope. God I hope they do it cause its a lot and I want details about despia and albz
This guy right here is one of the main reasons I play branded
Same :D
Take a shot every time albaz transform to a new fusion 😂
Jokes aside this video was sick
You sir owe me a kidney.
I mean, the man is a walking Polymerisation, what do you expect? More baffled it took him this frekin long to fuse with Ecclesia.
@@DerSisch Walking Super Polymerization, to be exact
@@f1r3hunt3rz5nah Aluber was a walking super-poly.
He is quite literally the CEO of sex.
Aleister the Invoker eating popcorn watching at sidelines from afar: “Everything goes according to my plan... Bwahahahaha!!”
This, Visas Starfrost, and _especially_ World Legacy deserve to have their own anime.
Man, this was absolutely amazing. You make playing branded feel like a community in its own way.
It really is though. Branded has left a lasting impression on the community overall. Still competes in meta too.
im a very superficial yugioh player but i play branded/despia and it will forever have a special place in my heart
@@blueblooddragons6986 Agreed. The deck just has a nostalgia feel to it due to being a fusion heavy deck.

Fuck he got me too 😂! Now I have to build every single archetype mentioned in the video haha
This was really well narrated over and really nice transitions all while the artwork was amazing!

I wish they do a movie for this story! Best lore ever and even more fun to play this deck with all the antagonists!
I want a manga!
I still have a soft spot for duel termina
Idk if a movie would be enough to cover the lore, I can see a two part maybe
