And then Superheavy Samurais got Monsters which can be placed in the Backrow instead of being destroyed! Oh and also one which doubles as a Field Spell (It's still a monster, but it can be placed in the zone reserved for Field Spells.). And a Level 11 Synchro.
Gongenzaka is a interesting character from the Standard Arc, after the Synchro Arc he was reduced to a side character along with Shingo (surprising, I know). At least he has a different dueling style that makes his deck unique and cool. I will warn you if you do watch Arc V, it will make you love it or hate it.
It's pretty good in Duel Links, especially since most of the defensive cards effect ATK or switch to defense position to protect from attacks and they aren't affected.
Gong is a character that basically stands out from everyone else in the entire series, possibly the entire ANIME in my opinion. He seems cold and intimidating at first, but once you get to know him and become friends, you know he'll always be there to have your back or cheer you up and even be the best goddamn friend you know. Not only is he willing to stand up for others and his friends, he's even willing to sacrifice his entire strategy, deck and beliefs to protect those he holds dear, even if it means defeat or possibly death. His character doesn't just separate him from the others, but his deck is what makes up what makes him stand out, normally you'd face players with spells, traps and monsters and sometimes without spells or traps, but his deck is what surprises me the most when I saw that he had only MONSTERS in his entire deck. At first I thought it was impossible to make a deck like that but he proved me wrong, SO wrong. But I can see one downside to this deck. Just one spell or trap is enough to throw the deck out of balance, and you'd almost a sitting duck if you do have one in your graveyard. Other than that, this deck is pretty powerful. Honestly, almost every time I see Gong use an action card to save his friend or sacrifice himself for others to get a chance, it makes me cry because there are hardly people in the world who are willing to just put themselves in the line of danger for a close friend or a complete stranger. I know I'm just saying things all around the place, but it's true. This is the reason why I love Gong, his personality and deck, and that's the truth. If I were lying and say Gong is trash, slap me sideways and call me Weevil Underwood.
His other weakness is Deck Devi since all his monsters have low attack... but i find funny how his deck is the only one making Honest ( which is still broken ) pretty useless
Agreed. I think that's because at first he came off a little snobby and a bit of a meathead. But over the series he shown compassion and humility. Heck, by time the Friendship Cup came around he was the most humble guy in the group. By time season 3 began he became very wise and the most level headed person in the series. His skills as a duelist was amazing too. His synchro are notably still very strong to this day, hard to summon but very strong....gong strong.
I know this is an old vid, but it's pretty bizarre to me that you didn't mention that the Superheavy Samurai monsters with "soul" in their name fuction as equip cards, allowing Gong's deck some versatility and further protection without undermining the no spells/traps clauses on his cards.
When I seen this part in season 1 episode 7 (2:35) it was like they were there frozen in time, they should’ve made the kids in the playground moving. Also to hear that Gong has no spell and trap in his deck reminded me of the original Yu-Gi-Oh Season 1 episode 2 when Joey Wheeler had his deck full of monsters.
Yep, the trouble of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad decks well Superheavy Samurais rather, is that their skills get shut down if in Tag Duels his partner ends up chucking S/T cards in the GY which lead to trouble in a hurry.
Gong is in in my top 5 favorite characters of arc V. Can you blame me? The guy sticks by what he believes in to the very end and is just a nice and lovable character all around.
I love this character and when I heard his deck was nothing but monsters the first thought through my head was this, "We have another Wheeler deck but it actually works."
Gong's deck is very unique and skilled, you could add other monsters into it. For example being Sangan and Kuriboh. Possibly Witch Of The Black Forest of your able to, but some Superheavy Samurais need you to reveal the tip card of your deck for something to happen. (I forget which cards it is).
I loved superheavy’s since their first appearance a deck of only monsters is a interesting choice but once I built the the deck I never stopped I still play them one of my best decks
I do like the designs of his monsters more than I did at the start of the series my favorite duel with him was when he dueled Dennis and my favorite monster was the Kyubi one he used against Crow
His duel against realistically played correctly still strong X Sabers themselves with new support and support was Amazing... sadly though his deck is kinda weak against Deck Devi, and you gotta be carefull which cards to use though 👑
Yugioh follows the trinity format for every series except for Sevens (I haven't go rush). The trinity the main protagonist, the main rival and the main dueteragonist. DM: Yugi, Kaiba and Joey GX: Jaden, Chazz and Syrus 5Ds: Yusei, Jack and Crow Zexal: Yuma, Kite and Shark Arc V: Yuya, Reiji and Gong V-rains: playmaker, revolver and soulburner (I only remember their handle names)
It's true on what people say, the a great defense is the best offense! (I am actually using a superheavy samurai deck in yugioh duel links and man... it is something.) I got all the way to Bronze Two using it and thinking about going all the way to King Of Games).
It's a shame that his archetype doesn't get any new support nowadays, can you just imagine how sick would a superheavy samurai fusion or xyz monster would be?( The fusion cards can exist by either contact fusion or a monster effect that fuses from hand or field, like hunting hound or d/d swirl slime) when ddd and entermates get literally *THEIR ANIME USERS* as fing scales
Y4RM and Gongenzaka, the manliest in all of YGO, fun fact tough, he's one of 2 chars ever on pulling a Draw in all the series to date, the other is Kaiba 👑
Superheavy samurai is probably the most MANLY deck ever put in the game. I mean, no spell, no traps, synchros only, Def position and most important... NO ACTION CARDS. This deck is forbabsolute units
To truly get the most out of the a Super Heavy Samurai deck you need more than the Samurai. To get Big Benkai out fast put 3 copies of Benkai in the deck and 3 copies of Giant Rat in the deck. Giant Rats ability to summon earth monsters with 1500 or less Atk works with Benkai because in defense position with zero spells and traps in the graveyard you can attack using its Def points. And having 1 spell card in the deck can be useful in emergencies with Berserker Soul, since it’s the only spell in the deck you’re guaranteed an unstoppable rampage with Defense position high Def monsters.
generally i think its a bad playstyle to just go defensive i mean it is a effective method if you have spell or trap cards but going all monsters means you base your strategy in hopes your opponent is stupid enough to attack your monster repeatedly
Yugi: But that's not how the game works; duel monsters is about supporting your monsters with magic cards, and with no magic in your deck your monsters will get beaten every time
Can you tell me where to find this scene, because I watched episode 114, in which they boarded the pirate ship and kidnapped Zuzu, then Yuya fought with the pirates, then he almost fell into the sea, but Crow and Declin came and pounced on him. 0:50
After Yuya was rescued, in episode 116, they were talking on Declin’s boat and they were sitting, but I did not watch this scene or from the other side, so can you tell me how long this scene existed?
If Gong had that one spell card Banner had used for his Alchemy deck making all cards that would be sent to the graveyard instead removed from the game, Gong's deck would benefit greatly
TheKpa11 That would actually cripple it in the worst way possible. First, he would lose all his graveyard effects and revivals. Second, the second that card was removed, the entire deck is rendered moot.
I always that he was in the later years of high school since some that I was a middle schooler do to me being so small at first but I in my last 2 years I finally got my growth spurt it hurt like hell and I drank a gallon of milk a week
If that's the case that going strong how do you spell or trap cards then what the hell was wrong with Joey's deck in the anime Yuki said that Joey's deck was in Balance because it didn't have any traps or spells if that's the case then Joey's deck would have been fine
At the time, none of the Monsters that make up the deck have effects that would support Joey's tendency to use luck to charge into things head on, so basically Joey's got alot more holes then just the ears, and mouth and eye sockets.
Wait... So Gong's Japanese name's parts INVERTED is a nod to his style? Ascend, Incarnation, Hill? Flip that and bring it up a notch. Hill, Incarnation, Ascend? The Hill's incarnation ascends? The Mountain's incarnation ascends.
"Backrow? The deck we're using Marty, we don't need--" *Puts on futuristic shades* "Backrow."
And then Superheavy Samurais got Monsters which can be placed in the Backrow instead of being destroyed!
Oh and also one which doubles as a Field Spell (It's still a monster, but it can be placed in the zone reserved for Field Spells.).
And a Level 11 Synchro.
@@asdrubalvect6328 what card is that cause i would love to see it
@@asdrubalvect6328 what are the cards?
Gongenzaka.
He Synchro
He Protecc
And most importantly
He Attacc. IN DEFENSE MODE
69 likes confirmed
XD
I always felt that Gong was Anti joey wheeler, Joey used spells and trap cards to win his duels, While Gong avoids Using spell and trap cards.
deadpoolio8 at first, Joey barley used Traps and Spells.
actualy in the first episode of yugioh joey HAD an deck wich had only monster cards. I see it as an reference to it.
Plus he doesn’t rely on luck.
Gong is my favourite character.
@@dylanf3108 hey Luck was a super power him and i think it was needed considering his best friend power was top decking what he needed to win
Who needs spell cards? Real men use only Monster Decks, and make them WORK!
*DAMN STRAIGHT WE DO.*
HELL YEA WE DO
Basically early season 1 Joey with more strategy
Oh no mythical beast he’s gonna plus off my spells........oh wait I don’t have any (joke courtosey of mr tichimon)
I do
Never seen arc v but this guy is one of my favs in all of yugioh
LOGIC
I'll just say it had a rushed ending.
Gongenzaka is a interesting character from the Standard Arc, after the Synchro Arc he was reduced to a side character along with Shingo (surprising, I know). At least he has a different dueling style that makes his deck unique and cool. I will warn you if you do watch Arc V, it will make you love it or hate it.
GREAT Beggining, but WEIRD Ending.... ARC V in a nutshell
Imagine if he had Berserker Soul in his deck
MONSTA CARDO
We need a series centered around Tag Duels
So Yuya Kraz can side deck it!
XD
That's a lotta dworros
Thats a lot of otks or even FTKS
I've been waiting for this video because I play this deck in real life. Keep up the good work
Kazkay LC I love this deck
I heard this deck is quite a fan favourite
It's pretty good in Duel Links, especially since most of the defensive cards effect ATK or switch to defense position to protect from attacks and they aren't affected.
Gongenzaka was one of my favorite characters and his deck is in my top ten favorite archetypes for sure.

@@VixXstazosJOB His deck's gimmick is that the good monsters use their absurdly high Defense to attack
@@TornadoZX825 I know, but Deck Devi washes away decks with Low printed Attack monsters, and this is the wekness i'm talking about
@@VixXstazosJOB Well... I guess this is another archetype that got fucked by the new meta
Yeah i agree
A big ol' softie with heart of gold, a true homie to the end
I didn't like him early anime, but then he grew on me to be a cool character
Agreed. I think that's because at first he came off a little snobby and a bit of a meathead.
But over the series he shown compassion and humility. Heck, by time the Friendship Cup came around he was the most humble guy in the group.

He's been added into Duel Links recently and his theme there convinced me to whale for SHS.
GONG STYLE STRONG

0:13 Yugi:*cries in the corner*
Zero 0
How about Syrus / Sho?
*HELLO MY FELLOW MEN.*
*HOW IS YOUR MANLY DAY PROGRESSING?*
When I seen this part in season 1 episode 7 (2:35) it was like they were there frozen in time, they should’ve made the kids in the playground moving.
Also to hear that Gong has no spell and trap in his deck reminded me of the original Yu-Gi-Oh Season 1 episode 2 when Joey Wheeler had his deck full of monsters.

I love this deck I even have a buddy who is like my own version of Gong
Super Heavy Trivia! Please!
by far my favorite deck. kinda like how Joey had his deck in the original. before he trained with Solomon
Since when was Elvis in Yu-Gi-Oh!?
Gong is in in my top 5 favorite characters of arc V. Can you blame me? The guy sticks by what he believes in to the very end and is just a nice and lovable character all around.
It's kinda hard to hate him
Arc V had so many great characters. It really needs more recognition.
I love this character and when I heard his deck was nothing but monsters the first thought through my head was this, "We have another Wheeler deck but it actually works."
Shoutout to this legend staying close to his super heavy style!
I absolutely love playing this deck
Really not a bad duel score for a character who was pretty quickly downgraded from a main character.
Gong's deck is very unique and skilled, you could add other monsters into it. For example being Sangan and Kuriboh. Possibly Witch Of The Black Forest of your able to, but some Superheavy Samurais need you to reveal the tip card of your deck for something to happen. (I forget which cards it is).
I loved superheavy’s since their first appearance a deck of only monsters is a interesting choice but once I built the the deck I never stopped I still play them one of my best decks
Just finished watching arc v today definitely in my top 3 of Yugioh now
Gong's sandals are metal. Literally. Sawatari confirms it in an episode.
I do like the designs of his monsters more than I did at the start of the series my favorite duel with him was when he dueled Dennis and my favorite monster was the Kyubi one he used against Crow
Gong didn’t get a growth spurt
HE GOT ALL OF THEM!
XD
Gong is a true duelist for not relying on action cards. I also like that he doesn't use spells and traps.
Great video Sam.
As a duelist and synchro summoner he fought like a Japanese samurai.
His duel against realistically played correctly still strong X Sabers themselves with new support and support was Amazing... sadly though his deck is kinda weak against Deck Devi, and you gotta be carefull which cards to use though 👑
Yugioh follows the trinity format for every series except for Sevens (I haven't go rush). The trinity the main protagonist, the main rival and the main dueteragonist.
DM: Yugi, Kaiba and Joey
GX: Jaden, Chazz and Syrus
5Ds: Yusei, Jack and Crow
Zexal: Yuma, Kite and Shark
Arc V: Yuya, Reiji and Gong
V-rains: playmaker, revolver and soulburner
(I only remember their handle names)
@TGS Anime Gong's ace Monster is "Super-heavy Samurai Big Benkei" pronounced as "Ben-kay"
Never understood why Superheavy Samurai's ultimate Synchro monster was a train
I always thought it was the level 9 one
It's true on what people say, the a great defense is the best offense! (I am actually using a superheavy samurai deck in yugioh duel links and man... it is something.) I got all the way to Bronze Two using it and thinking about going all the way to King Of Games).

No a superheavy samurai link does exist
Just look look up scarecrow
He is muscular similar to yugi, Adrian geko, viper, kagamaru, mako, Alito and girag they really been hitting the gym.
Y4RM and Gongenzaka, the manliest in all of YGO, fun fact tough, he's one of 2 chars ever on pulling a Draw in all the series to date, the other is Kaiba 👑
Tbh I like his style of dueling I even tried to make a strong defensive deck like his
Superheavy samurai is probably the most MANLY deck ever put in the game. I mean, no spell, no traps, synchros only, Def position and most important... NO ACTION CARDS. This deck is forbabsolute units
Can u do yugo or yuto nexts for a vid love ur stream yesterday bro
This deck is epic one of my favorites
To truly get the most out of the a Super Heavy Samurai deck you need more than the Samurai. To get Big Benkai out fast put 3 copies of Benkai in the deck and 3 copies of Giant Rat in the deck. Giant Rats ability to summon earth monsters with 1500 or less Atk works with Benkai because in defense position with zero spells and traps in the graveyard you can attack using its Def points. And having 1 spell card in the deck can be useful in emergencies with Berserker Soul, since it’s the only spell in the deck you’re guaranteed an unstoppable rampage with Defense position high Def monsters.
My absolute favorite deck, who needs speeds n traps, or big attack monsters? WE HAVE DEFENSE!
When you found a duelist who only use monster.
El macho
THE BEST CHARACTER IN ARC V.
THE MAN. GONGENZAKA.
the most manly deck... this is my 2nd option deck after Gravekeepers.
generally i think its a bad playstyle to just go defensive i mean it is a effective method if you have spell or trap cards but going all monsters means you base your strategy in hopes your opponent is stupid enough to attack your monster repeatedly
Super heavy samurai is super awesome in duel links.
He defeated grizelepike due to the arc league championship.
Yugi: But that's not how the game works; duel monsters is about supporting your monsters with magic cards, and with no magic in your deck your monsters will get beaten every time
Can you tell me where to find this scene, because I watched episode 114, in which they boarded the pirate ship and kidnapped Zuzu, then Yuya fought with the pirates, then he almost fell into the sea, but Crow and Declin came and pounced on him. 0:50

One of my favorite characters
you should do Yuya,Yuto, Yugo, Yuri in your next Arc v Character profile
the deck my most favorite of all of them it breaks the cycle of using spells or traps
I'm here.
Spell and Traps are overrated anyway.
Jaden: ..............................
TheKpa11 😂😂😂😂
They are, they can be always MST'ed
but the deck said you know what lets not use spells or traps
If Gong had that one spell card Banner had used for his Alchemy deck making all cards that would be sent to the graveyard instead removed from the game, Gong's deck would benefit greatly
TheKpa11
That would actually cripple it in the worst way possible. First, he would lose all his graveyard effects and revivals. Second, the second that card was removed, the entire deck is rendered moot.
If gong gets Berserkers soul he would clap everyone
He relies on his deck only and doesn't use the stupid action cards mechanic, suddenly is my favorite character
I hope you'll be doing profiles on the vrains characters.
Can't believe that he is only 14 tho
Yeah. I thought he was 18, at least.
@@jacobcrumpton4643 At this point the viewer must determine the age that fits the character. Dont believe anything anymore.
Same
Gong doesn't have superheavy samurai stealth ninja?
I use a super heavy samurai deck in legacy of the Duelist link evolution
Gong's turn! Gong draws! Gong ends Gong's turn.
But does it go against yugioh dule monsters episode 1 or something when joey had his full out monster deck changed
I really love gong!
Did anyone hear a discord notification at around 5:30?
I always that he was in the later years of high school since some that I was a middle schooler do to me being so small at first but I in my last 2 years I finally got my growth spurt it hurt like hell and I drank a gallon of milk a week
The MAN!
I really like this character
I love his deck and the new link he got is ok but I think it could have been made better
Gong greatness
He was in the junior arc league so I don’t know what you expect his age to be considering that
I thought that dude was in highschool lmao!
gongenzaka looks younger then a character from beyblade burst who looks like he's in his 20's but is 11
Now can you do a trivia episode on Superheavy Samurai Sam?
5:29 you got a discord message
This is what duelist kingdom joey wheeler wishes he could be
0:50 CHILDREN! Stop that!
XD
I like the sandals that he wears if I was a anime character I will wear the same thing
Can you please do super heavy samurais for your next card Trivia video
I thought Gong had Acromegaly or gigantism.
What happen to the backstory
How is there not a seto kaiba video? I neeeeed it
Got removed due to copyright :( however I may remake it in the future
TGS Anime holy crap you actually replied. You just earned yourself a subscriber my good sir
Nice monster you have there
Would be a shame if someone
‘Pull our Battleball’
Take it
Why do you always use the ocg version of the cards even tho most of the cards have been released in the tcg

Please do Yuya or Zarc next
can u do yuya and his other counter parts
Why did you say big benkai it's Big Benkei
Can u do the Yu boys that equal to Zarc?
TGS Anime no history of Gong Strong (Noboru Gongenzaka) because you usually do this on Characters Profile
Could you do a yuya character profile
Do Layra next
Wait... So Gong's Japanese name's parts INVERTED is a nod to his style? Ascend, Incarnation, Hill? Flip that and bring it up a notch. Hill, Incarnation, Ascend? The Hill's incarnation ascends? The Mountain's incarnation ascends.
