Being a Brazilian kid in the mid 2000s, I recognize basically all of these exclusive cards. Most of them through Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories and the rest of them through pirated cards (originals one were really expensive for low class families back then).
Chilean, here, and same thing, I remember my first booster pack of cards including at least one of these. Very flimsy, thin cards, on a paper packaging lmao. Good times.
I played a bunch of Eternal Duelist Soul and the other gba games around that time too. I didn't realize that lots of these cards didn't exist in English until much much later. I always assumed they were In early packs like LOB and MRL, but I just never pulled them.
Ah yes, I see many staples from my time playing forbidden memories and duelists of the roses. I do miss that unique grungy art design of the early cards.
I do like how a lot of retrains come from these old designs. Reshef of Destruction as a kid made me not realize some of these were OCG only. Akakieisu would probably be my favorite design to be brought back.
Air Eater was actually recently revived and retrained into “Aerial Eater”, a fusion monster that’s not only super cool to look at, but has a very meta relevant effect.
The funny thing is most of these missing cards are included in various character starter decks in Duel Links. Bat is in Bandit Keith's, Lucky Trinket is in Satorious Kumar's, and so on.
I won't lie, I do love the old way ocg cards would structure the attack points and flavor text. I don't know why but to me the way the cards were set up really helped exemplify these cards being ancient like how they are in the anime and manga.
i remember a bunch of those old ocg exclusive cards from The Sacred Cards game for the GBA, as many of them were in the deck you start the game with. Shoutout to Doron turning into an effect monster that can clone itself, and a much weaker Revival Jam who had the same effect in this game.
I haven't played Yugioh in years but I love the art on those old vanilla monsters . Even now I would buy something that had The Wandering Doomed or Solitude in it
If I had to choose 5 to get imported, I'd have to go with: - The Wandering Doomed for the Skull Servant rep -Gate Deeg because it reminds me of a prototype Il Blud -Boo Koo because funny and the name just rolls right off the tongue -Madjinn Gunn because it looks awesome -Dark Chimera because I don't feel too strongly about any others and you said you wanted it lol Honorable mentions go to: -Cyber Commander, Tristain's favorite card in the anime -The recolored scorpion counterparts, Nightmare Scoprion and Giant Scorpion of the Tundra which pair nicely as messed up arachnids with the other recolored counterparts, Kumootoko and Hunter Spider -Ancient Jar, Morphing Jar's long lost counterpart -Dokuroizo the Grim Reaper, though I do like Reaper of the Cards better
I love the old art style. These weird monsters are so much better and more creative than the endless stream of the same old girls we get now. Saying that, it is good to see some of these old cards getting retrains as Millennium and Illusion monsters. Some of them are also available in Duel Links too.
It's so weird that these haven't been made available, especially Horn Imp and Torike (Torike was in Yugi's deck in the manga in Duelist Kingdom) but even more so because I have such a strong nostalgic attachment to these because I spent a lot of time with the GBA Yu-Gi-Oh games, and other titles such as Dawn of Destiny.
I loved the artstyle of old-school Yu-Gi-Oh. Back when zombie cards ACTUALLY looked like zombies with rotting flesh and exposed skeletons like Bone Mouse and Corroding Shark. There were also other card artworks which looked pretty HARDCORE, like the OG artwork of Last Day of The Witch which was an obvious reference to the Salem Witch Trials, there’s also Resurrection of Chakra which featured a naked woman in the process of being sacrificed, which was a grim reminder that they are called “Ritual” Cards for a reason
It's funny that 3 of the cards that haven't been released yet have been turned into Memento's / Mementolan. If they would be imported to the TCG I could see them coming in speed duel and OTS's( they imported Normal monsters before)
i want dryad, i find it kind of weird that it remains unreleased in the TCG despite the rest of the doriado series having a few cards released over the year
The rest of Exodia was introduced before Vol.5. The Right Arm and the Left Arm were "Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories" promo cards, and the Head was in the Premium Pack.
@@wilkobadberg5272 I know right? It makes no sense. Konami was printing a bunch of old vanilla cards for speed duels. But apparently that’s canceled as well. So who knows if will ever get Horn imp, Torike and Cyber Commander 😢
It's strange to think there was a short period of time where there was two Yugioh card games at the same time. Because the movie also released with the last set of Bandai cards. Clearly there was a transition period. Early OCG cards even look similar to the Bandai cards in their layout, with the three boxes at the bottom for attack, defense and text.
I find it really interesting how there are differences between the countries. I remember growing up in the 2000s being a early 90s kid having yugi being my first big kid card game to get into at the time. not knowing the differences in each card no matter where ya got them from. Especially whenever I used to use my allowecne on those card machines at my local gameshops back when they were opened. I find it neat on learning about the differences to this day.
Great vid, I appreciate the effort to put this all together man. I have a soft spot for all those low-level normal monsters from tcg, their artwork is just something completly different from today's cards.
The thing is, Konami never wanted Yugioh OCG to be like Pokemon at all. Remember, both series aim at a different age demographic. For starters, Yugioh OCG (or Duel Monsters in lore) is based on MTG (Magic The Gathering) as confirmed by the late Kazuki Takahashi. R.I.P. 😇 And MTG is card game that mainly targets a teen player base (13+). And the Yugioh OCG is aimed at ages 12 and up. That’s a standard teen rating in most countries (including Japan). As “12 and older” is often associated with early teen groups. In fact, if you go to 11:56 on the bottom right corner on the back of the 1999 Starter Deck set, you will see the age range listed by Konami that says; “対象年齢12才以上” (Translation: “Target age 12 years and older”) Which implies it’s for at least early teen players. You can translate it on any translation app and it comes out the same. And I had some Japanese speaking friends of mine confirm it for me. Not only does this confirm that they’ve been targeting an early to late teen demographic since 1999, but even to this day they still do. As I even own modern OCG packs to prove it. Also the Yugioh manga and anime are Shonen. Shonen is often used as a demographic term for manga and anime that primarily target early to late teen boys roughly between 12 and 18. Which is why Yugioh was so dark in both the manga and Japanese version anime. Even Weekly Shonen Jump is confirmed to be for that age demographic since the beginning of it’s publication and this was confirmed by the former chief-editor Hiroyuki Nakano. He confirmed this back in 2017-2019. He just recently retired, but that doesn’t chance anything he said, of course. Why this matters, is because the Yugioh TCG and 4Kids entertainment, tried to market the series towards young children by censoring everything they could. Which in my opinion was completely stupid. They did the same thing to other anime as well. And thankfully, 4Kids aren’t a thing anymore. But I just feel many Western Yu-Gi-Oh fans completely aren’t aware of this because they’re so stuck in their nostalgia of the shitty 4kids dub and they ignore what the original Japanese Yugioh was really about. And given the game’s complexity back then and now, it’s obvious Konami made the OCG for a teen demographic. Even their official OCG tournaments are age restricted. Because their lowest bracket called “challenge” is for junior high students (12-15). Mid bracket called “regular” is for high school students (15-18) and the highest being “expert” which is mainly the adult bracket. That’s why Konami made Rush Duels as the only true adaptation for children. And the anime spin-offs that promote it.
I didn't realise just how much I played Forbiden Memories, and Duelest of the Roses until I realised I recognized every card on the list... I never realised we didn't get these. I just kinda... never thought ab it.
These cards need reprints in both the OCG and TCG just so that everyone can have access to them because OCD and collecting things do not mesh well with limited availability
Would love to see a video about all the cards in each of these packs and sets, not just the exclusives. It's super interesting to see how yugioh was in its earliest days, I'd love to see what types of effect monsters (if any) were around when the game got started
A lot of the normal monsters just need someone who love nostalgia in the office to push these to be imported in some way. In time the TCG will get the 151 normal monsters via a side set or core set import, or even if they return to Speed Duel some day which was a good way to import them which I loved. On top of that 100 Normal monsters have a recolor to make 200 different cards. I love normal monsters and these are the only ones I am missing for a special binder so I hope one day TCG imports them so I can complete it.
I wonder if any of these cards will make it into the Memento archetype. I could see cards like Ganigumo, Mammoth Graveyard, Dark Shade, Horn Imp, Torike, etc being good Memento cards. Also, Id love for Doron to make it to the TCG. In one of the GBA games, he had an effect where he lost half his atk/def to spawn another of him, meaning you got a free 2 tribute summon if you kept him and his clone on the field for a turn. He used to be an MVP for me and a Doron Memento could be used to help with bodies on the field for link summoning and the like.
Its crazy looking at the oldest cards of Yugioh. They all look like actual monsters where today they're basically just anime characters. I like both styles but its just insane how incredibly different they are.
When it comes to the collab cards, they have the issue with licensing agreements. Konami cant just ask Lays and call it a day, ignoring whatever agreements they had with Calbee. There also comes the issue of if they want to do the same style of distribution globally (Include them with chips), they also have deal with regional divisions. The Power Pros one might be tricky. Since while it was developed by Konami and published by them in Japan, the 1 out of the 2 games that were ever released outside of Japan was handled by 2K.
As a plant player, I would love to get those vanilla plants like Man Eating Plant. I don't care if they are worser Sunseed Genius Loci and Jerry Beans Man. Fun fact: Man Eating Plant shares the same attribute, attack, defense and level with Man Eater, Yashinoki and Mushroom Man.
A lot of these cards have English versions in the video games, including Duel Links so it would be easy to take them and print physical copies for both the TCG and OCG to satisfy all the people with OCD
If I had to pick 5 of these old school OCG cards to be imported into the TCG it would be these: Horn Imp, Torike, Cyber Commander, Black Dragon Jungle King, and Air Eater
Illusion was repurposed from the monster type Dreams from the game Dark Duel Stories. Weather Control was retrained to an effect monster that destroys Swords of Revealing Light, though. Pot the Trick was retrained to Dragon Piper. The Starter Box looks like what Yugi received from Pegasus.
Konami really messed up when they stopped releasing these ocg only cards during the ots packs in favor of meta related cards which lose they're value eventually being reprinted to death. It would be fun collecting the original duel monsters cards that never seen a print outside of Japan.
How many early monsters were just weird hands? Imagine if they retrained all of them, memento-style, and rolled them in with the Zexal Hands. I'm still waiting for Wandering Doomed and the Skull Servant fusions to be officially accepted into the Wight archetype.
Honestly, id buy yugioh cards again if they added a "legacy" bonus slot that contained a random normal monster, either including or exclusively from, these.
I remember White Dolphin cause it was one of the starter creatures you got in the playstation Capsule Monster game. Most of the Yugioh cards here were likely in the video games at some point
I would so love if Konami just dumped all of these useless Vanillas into 1 product. Make it its own thing so nobody who wouldn’t want these ever has to pull them.
These should all be treated as Tuners just to give you a reason to use them today... probably wouldn't be good enough but it would be something to make them not completely useless
LaLa Li-Oon probably didn't get ported because its acid rain makes it very dangerous. The very first set had no Tribute Summon. That rule lasted before the "first" Starter Decks.
For the record most of these cards, if not, all of them are not competitively viable, but the fact that they are nearly impossible to obtain even in the OCG because the only printing of them are ridiculously old is Ludacris and I think that there should be easier access to some of these older cards for all players of the game just so that the collectors Can scratch their OCD itches
They is some cards that only got TCG printings in US but nowhere else in TCG too such as. All the Mcdonalds Happy Meal promo cards and the Kakuzi Takahashi 10th Aniversary Redrawn artwork cards inluding the new card for that set Shiba warrior Taro. The card metal Shooter all of of its reprints was US only but US never got the rather Pointless DS game it was a card promo for either like rest of world making it one of hardest Super Rare game promos to find in English.
I'm curious where you got these translated names from. Some of these have different names then what the card says which makes sense, but if we never got these cards I wonder where the translation comes from. I love these old cards artwork
Great topic, where can I find the Japanese card images in good resolution, what website did you use for these beautiful card images ? I’m actually trying to make some prints for personal project!
Toad master hope get a new version as effect monster and act the same Lord of D. But as bonus card gonna have t"The rod of Frog" Do the same as dragon flute do or boost. If konami combined the idea of Lord of D and skeleton serpent gonna be a great deck
But, we got at least some of those cards eventually, right? I mean I recognised some of the artworks. Or was that just in the video games like "Link Evolution", where one starts with some of those cards?
A lot of cards that would have been included in this video, had I made it say 2 years ago, we're imported to the TCG through Speed Duel. Other than that, in the physical card game, these have all remained exclusive to Japan's OCG. And outside of Japan, most were able to use these cards in the video games, primarily the early NA adaptations of Japan's games.

Shame Duel Links cards are digital, and the game went to hell.
Hey if you ever want to do if you play the game still I'll send you my invite code
All these missing cards can be found in Master Duel too.

If I had to choose 5 to get imported, I'd have to go with:
- The Wandering Doomed for the Skull Servant rep
-Gate Deeg because it reminds me of a prototype Il Blud
-Boo Koo because funny and the name just rolls right off the tongue
-Madjinn Gunn because it looks awesome
-Dark Chimera because I don't feel too strongly about any others and you said you wanted it lol
Honorable mentions go to:
-Cyber Commander, Tristain's favorite card in the anime
-The recolored scorpion counterparts, Nightmare Scoprion and Giant Scorpion of the Tundra which pair nicely as messed up arachnids with the other recolored counterparts, Kumootoko and Hunter Spider
-Ancient Jar, Morphing Jar's long lost counterpart
-Dokuroizo the Grim Reaper, though I do like Reaper of the Cards better
These would make great pack filler for collectors
Especially for the collectors with OCD

I want Horn Imp, Torike and Cyber Commander :(
Is not cyber commander a little bit broken? I mean it is Tristin's ace card.
Those three in particular are iconic enough to have enough fan demand to require TCG printings

Pot the Trick was retrained to Dragon Piper.
The Starter Box looks like what Yugi received from Pegasus.
The illusion type was part of the manga
Old OCG yugioh designs are so badass and iconic.
I had a friend who had a few of these growing up. Makes me wonder how he got them. This would have been in the early 2000s in TN

I'm on the same train, these cards' artwork is crazy
Like ill witch, is a topless mermaid with a rather odd looking expression on her face
Glad to see the Dark Chimera love
Because im such as memento fanboy i quite like getting videos on old normal monsters.
Honestly, id buy yugioh cards again if they added a "legacy" bonus slot that contained a random normal monster, either including or exclusively from, these.
Air eater being retrained into aerial eater is cool
I feel like some Mementos weren't mentioned. Maybe I'm just an idiot. 👀

Very awesome. Truly classics

I think they all are in the games. Seeing as how I've seen them before, unaware they were OCG exclusive
Some of these finally were released as the Memento archetype.
I didnt even know that some of these were ocg exclusive because of the gba games I just assumed that they were released everywhere
Getting so much mandela effect here cause I thought those cards came into the TCG but apparently only in the video games
I wish they would slip these as commons into future sets
I would so love if Konami just dumped all of these useless Vanillas into 1 product. Make it its own thing so nobody who wouldn’t want these ever has to pull them.
Give this man a like for doing a thorough research ❤❤❤
These should all be treated as Tuners just to give you a reason to use them today... probably wouldn't be good enough but it would be something to make them not completely useless
I definitely miss the old artwork compared to what is released today.
LaLa Li-Oon probably didn't get ported because its acid rain makes it very dangerous.
The very first set had no Tribute Summon. That rule lasted before the "first" Starter Decks.
I picked the female deck in duelist of the roses game just cause beautiful beast trainer . It started my down bad mommy issues phase early on .

For the record most of these cards, if not, all of them are not competitively viable, but the fact that they are nearly impossible to obtain even in the OCG because the only printing of them are ridiculously old is Ludacris and I think that there should be easier access to some of these older cards for all players of the game just so that the collectors Can scratch their OCD itches
I actually like the these monsters. They're neat.
They is some cards that only got TCG printings in US but nowhere else in TCG too such as. All the Mcdonalds Happy Meal promo cards and the Kakuzi Takahashi 10th Aniversary Redrawn artwork cards inluding the new card for that set Shiba warrior Taro. The card metal Shooter all of of its reprints was US only but US never got the rather Pointless DS game it was a card promo for either like rest of world making it one of hardest Super Rare game promos to find in English.
I once got the original Dark Magician in a sticker machine
Great content brother!
Megirus Light is my guy
I don't know what it's supposed to be, I don't know what the hell is a megirus, but that only makes it cooler.
5:49 you can get it with YuGiOh legendary decks (vol 2 I think)
All I saw was fusion material for forbidden memories.
Your crappy joke made my day and a sub.
Were there any yugioh s0 anime cards that were never printed?
Some of these have be printed in Rush Duel or have cards inspired by some of these.
I really want the majority of these cards.
I'm curious where you got these translated names from. Some of these have different names then what the card says which makes sense, but if we never got these cards I wonder where the translation comes from. I love these old cards artwork
I remember all of these cards in english, from the gba games XD
I had no idea so many of the cards I knew are ocg only
Great topic, where can I find the Japanese card images in good resolution, what website did you use for these beautiful card images ? I’m actually trying to make some prints for personal project!
Yugioh Wiki and Deviantart
Some of these card are in duel links
"get that thing away from me"
Toad master hope get a new version as effect monster and act the same Lord of D. But as bonus card gonna have t"The rod of Frog" Do the same as dragon flute do or boost. If konami combined the idea of Lord of D and skeleton serpent gonna be a great deck
But, we got at least some of those cards eventually, right? I mean I recognised some of the artworks. Or was that just in the video games like "Link Evolution", where one starts with some of those cards?
A lot of cards that would have been included in this video, had I made it say 2 years ago, we're imported to the TCG through Speed Duel. Other than that, in the physical card game, these have all remained exclusive to Japan's OCG. And outside of Japan, most were able to use these cards in the video games, primarily the early NA adaptations of Japan's games.
on 12:17 "Ancient Tree of Enlightenment" is in the tcg as trent or do i remember wrong?
