** The first ten Infernoid monsters are named after one of the ten demons associated with the Qliphoth.

'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Junk Junk]]''' is an archetype of Warrior-Types that are primarily used by Yusei Fudo and Tetsuzo Kuzuyama/[[DubNameChange Bashford]] in ''5D's''. It is also connected to the Synchron archetype. The strategy is to swarm the field with low-Level Monsters with their effects and then going for a Synchro Summon. The Junk Synchro Monsters require a Junk Synchron as a Tuner for their Synchro Summon, and they are also of ascending Level: with Junk Warrior being 5, Junk Gardna 6, Junk Archer and Junk Berserker 7, and Junk Destroyer 8, showcasing this archetype's adaptability in that it can use either a Level 2, 3, 4, or 5 monster along with Junk Synchron as its Synchro Materials. The archetype is closely related to the '''Synchron''' archetype.

* MechanicalLifeform: They all look like machines, though, they are Warrior-Type Monsters.

* WhatAPieceOfJunk: The archetype is literally named "Junk." Most of the Main Deck monsters are individually weak and resemble discarded pieces of machinery. When they tune together, however, they become powerful mechanical warriors. They represent Yusei's upbringings in Satellite.

* DubNameChange: A point of [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment some contention]] among fans and players of the game.

* BackFromTheDead: The Xyz monsters all have the ability to revive themselves by tributing a Link monster. One of their Link monsters, Megaton Gale, also has the ability to revive an Xyz monster from the graveyard with the added bonus of attaching one of the opponent's card to it as Xyz Material. Trencher can also do this with any other Infinitrack monster by banishing itself from the graveyard.

* NoSell: Infinitrack Fortress Megaton Gale can only be affected by the effects of Xyz monsters and can only be destroyed by them as well.

* WorldsStrongestMan: With 4000 ATK, Megaton Gale is not only the strongest Link 3 Link monster in the game in terms of ATK but also the strongest Link monster.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: In this case, a malevolent, gold skinned humanoid with magic based around [NoSell no-selling]] things.

%%* RedEyesTakeWarning

** In his earliest form, Gaia was a monster with 2300 attack points that required two tributes to summon, making it an extremely inefficient card to play. Even in that state though, by fusing Gaia with the Curse of Dragon, you could get Gaia the Dragon Champion. Pretty much every copy of the card released since (Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight, Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth, Gaia Drake, the Universal Force, etc.) has had him take more levels each time and either made it easier for him to be summoned or granted additional abilities to compensate for his attack values, with some even doing both. He also [[TookALevelInBadass took another level]] as [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Gaia_Dragoon,_the_Force_of_Thunder Gaia Dragoon, the Force of Thunder]], who is the third Xyz Monster able to use Chaos Xyz Change.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Gaia, Knight in Brightest Night and Gaia, Knight in Blackest Night. They even have effects that support the other's Element.

[[folder:Inifinite Ignition]]
The '''[[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Infinite_Ignition Infinite Ignition]]''' archetype is comprised of EARTH Machine monsters and combine Xyz and Link summoning. Their overall playstyle is to replenish their Xyz monsters' materials in order to keep using their effects.

!!!Tropes associated with the Infinite Ignition:
* BackFromTheDead: The Xyz monsters all have the ability to revive themselves by tributing a Link monster. One of their Link monsters, Megaton Gale, also has the ability to revive an Xyz monster from the graveyard with the added bonus of attaching one of the opponent's card to it as Xyz Material.
* MeaningfulName: The Xyz monsters alls have effects classifed as Ignition ones which can be activated by detaching at least one of their materials with the goal of the archetype being to keep them supplied with materials so they can use those effects over and over.
* NoSell: Infinite Ignition Fortress Megaton Gale can only be affected by the effects of Xyz monsters and can only be destroyed by them as well.

* PerpetualMotionMachine: Given the name "Infinite Ignition", this may be the inspiration behind this archetype.

* TronLines: Infinite Ignition monsters have glowing blue lines on them.

* CoolGuns: All of the Igknights are modelled after one.

* GatlingGood: Igknight Avenger, as is only fitting for he is named after the GAU-8 Avenger.
* HotBlooded: Noted in the flavour texts of Magnum, Eagle, and Caliber. Basically all of them are hot-blooded.

-->'''Igknight Eagle:''' "A very action-oriented and impulsive “Igknight” warrior. His comrades call him “Bullet Eagle” while keeping a certain distance from him."
-->'''Igknight Riot:''' "A high-level “Igknight” warrior. He specializes in wide area attacks with his dual gunblades regardless of time and location, striking fear into not only his enemies by also his comrades."
* TheLeader: Implied with Igknight Caliber.

* MixAndMatchWeapon: The Igknights all wield melee weapons that use guns as bases. Igknight Magnum uses a short sword with a revolver grip, Igknight Avenger uses a Gatling gun with a lot of spears, and so on and so forth.
* NotSoDifferent: Igknight Dragnov feels this way about himself, as noted in his flavour text;
-->"A veteran Igknight warrior with a one-track mind who hates twisted things. Perhaps because of this, from time to time he questions his own weapon."
* NotSoStoic: Igknight Musket;

* RainbowMotif: The Igknight Pendulum Monsters are each colored in the colors of the rainbow. Riot is red, Dragnov is orange, Magnum is yellow, Caliber is green, Eagle is blue and Musket is purple. Stinger and Avenger are also colored yellow and orange. Of the Pendulum Monsters, the ones with high scales are the warmed colored ones and the ones with low scales have cool colors.
* RedOniBlueOni: Played with Cavalier and and Veteran. Cavalier has a blue background, but is described to be reckless and often attacks her own tropps. Veteran has a red background, but supervises her and gets annoyed with her recklessness.
* TheSmartGuy: Igknight Musket.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] with Igknight Derringer:
-->"The lone woman among the Igknights who is coddled by her colleagues. Even though her prized weapon take down her allies more often than her enemies, none of them complain about it."
* ThanatosGambit: Igknights Avenger and Stinger can be summoned by destroying "Igknight" cards you control and the Igknights have self-destructive Pendulum effects to search out other Igknights. This is hardly a detriment, since Pendulum Monsters don't go to the Graveyard. Rather, they go to the Extra Deck, and they can be Pendulum Summoned from there. Their self-destruct effects not only accumulate advantage but also set you up for later plays.

* TomboyishPonytail: Igknight Derringer.
* ZergRush: The Pendulum Igknights aren't too strong for their Levels and they can be Pendulum Summoned to make up for their destruction. They can be easily used for Xyz Summonings.

** On the more literal side of things, there is Almarduk the World Chalice Guardragon, a Fusion monster that can be summoned using

** [[spoiler:Ib]] fuses with Iustia the Guardragon to achieve a new Synchro evolution.
* GuardianEntity: Their collective name and color schemes imply that they are the protectors of the World Legacies.

* SealedEvilInACan: Iustia's flavor text suggests that the World Legacies and the Guardragons were serving to keep something sealed away:

** Red: Pisti
** Orange: Elpi
** Yellow: Prominesis

** Blue: Iustia

* ThemeNaming: Each Guardragon, except Imduk, is named after a Christian virtue, with the main deck monsters being named after the four cardinal virtues (Iustia after iustitia/Justice, Garmides after Charmides, a Plato dialogue on the subject of Temperance, Prominesis after a combination of prominence and phronesis/Prudence, and Andrake after a combination of andreia/Courage, and drake), and the Link monsters after the three theological virtues (Elpi after elpis/Hope, Pisti after pistis/Faith, and Agarpain after a combination of agape/Love, and pain).

[[folder:Inpachi]]
'''[[http://yugipedia.com/Inpachi_(series) Inpachi]]''' is an archetype of monsters based around the normal monster card [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Inpachi Inpachi]]. His story is told within his card series and other cards, where he fights numerous other monsters and changes forms.

* OddNameOut: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is the only one whose name does not incorporate the word "Ghost".

* NotTheIntendedUse: Ever wonder why [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Future_Fusion Future Fusion]] got banned? Well, you're looking at him. Five-Headed Dragon was obviously intended to be a game ending monster, and it ended up being one in more ways than just a high ATK beater. Because of its generic materials, and the sheer number of Dragon-Type monsters that can revive themselves from the Graveyard like Dragon Rulers and Chaos Dragons, Five-Headed Dragon Future Fusion ended up becoming the '''single best searcher in the ''entire game''''', able to pull out five Dragon-Type monsters from your deck whenever played ''and'' swarm the field with them even if Five-Headed Dragon couldn't be summoned. This resulted in a deck so powerful that it could throw out [=OTKs=] and easily turn any situation around no matter how bad, and as a result, Future Fusion has remained on the ban list since, and likely to never return.

* EvilKnockoff: Of [[spoiler:Imduk]], whose corrupted self is among their ranks. Although it's also implied that he might have been a TokenHeroicOrc the whole time.

* OneWingedAngel: Andrake eventually completely succumbs to its dark nature and evolves into Melodark.

* ThemeNaming: Each Guardragon, except [[spoiler:Imduk]], is named after a Christian virtue, with the main deck monsters being named after the four cardinal virtues (Iustia after iustitia/Justice, Garmides after Charmides, a Plato dialogue on the subject of Temperance, Prominesis after a combination of prominence and phronesis/Prudence, and Andrake after a combination of andreia/Courage, and drake), and the Link monsters after the three theological virtues (Elpi after elpis/Hope, Pisti after pistis/Faith, and Agarpain after a combination of agape/Love, and pain).

'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady Fortune Ladies]]''' are a series of elementally-attuned Fairy-Type monsters with the similar gimmick of gaining one Level each of your Standby Phases, and having ATK and DEF equal to their Level multiplied by a variable value. They rely on swarming the field and increasing their Levels to use effects, and also have some cards to banish and retrieve their members, particularly with the Field Spell Future Visions, which banishes all Normal Summoned monsters until the next turn.

** Green: Andrake

* ThemeNaming: Each Guardragon, except Imduk, is named after a Christian virtue, with the main deck monsters being named after the four cardinal virtues (Iustia after iustitia/Justice, Garmides after Charmides, a Plato dialogue on the subject of Temperance, Prominesis after a combination of prominence and phronesis/Prudence, and Andrake after a combination of andreia/Courage, and drake), and the Link monsters after the three theological virtues (Elpi after elpis/Hope, Pisti after pistis/Faith, and Agarpain after a combination of agape/Love, and pain).

The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Invoked Invoked]]''', known as '''Invoked Beast''' (召喚獣 ''Shōkanjū'') in the OCG, are an archetype of Fusion Monsters. All of them have similar requirements for their summoning, necessitating the use of [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Aleister_the_Invoker Aleister the Invoker]] and any one monster of their respective aAttribute. The sole exception is their ace, Elysium, which requires another Invoked as well as any monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

* TheCorruption[=/=]DemonOfHumanOrigin: The fact that Caliga shares the same ATK, DEF, Attribute, and Level as Aleister—plus the similar clothing—implies it is a mutated Aleister. And then Aleister the Meltdown Invoker's card art is showing him turning into Caliga.

** During the LINK era, Alister would join the Prophecy archetype as Crowley, the Origin of Prophecy. It's a nod to the Prophecy/Invoked hybrid decks.

* AGirlAndHerX: How the TCG names are structured, e.g. "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit".

* FusionDance: Gravekeeper's Supernaturalist is a fusion monster created with two Gravekeepers. It gains
