Legacy of the Worthless

    Nordics 
  • When reading out the effects for Garmr of the Nordic Beasts, Rata really grasps at straws to try and justify its existence:
    Rata: (long Beat) ... Okay, I'm gonna look on the positive side and point out that this card absolutely kicked ass in the... Cloudian matchup. (another Beat) Fuck it. Fuck it! Next monster!
  • Rata insisting on pronouncing Gotterdammerung in "the most American way possible".

    Ally of Justice 
  • His confusion at the existence of Flamvell Magician supporting this Archetype. Oh, sorry. I mean Flamvell LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREman.
  • The Flat "What" reaction to Ally of Justice Reverse Break's effect, and his deduction that it's named "Reverse Break" because it's "the reverse of all other Ally of Justice monsters... and it breaks."
  • Upon revealing the Japanese name of Ally of Justice Nullifier as being "Ally of Justice Blind Sucker", he pulls up an image of Lilly Satou.

    Genex 
  • His thoughts on Genex Furnace's name:
    Rata: I'm sorry, but you could have picked a more appealing name rather than fucking Furnace. Why don't we just add limbs onto other household devices and have Genex Fridge or Genex Air Conditioner or Genex Bear Trap? What, you don't keep bear traps in your house? Well, guess your life is easier than mine, isn't it?
  • He wonders about the discrepancy of the naming conventions of the first Genex wave's Synchro monsters, claiming that Hydro and Geo Genex should have been named "Water Pump Genex" and "BP Oil Spill Genex" respectively.
  • Rata's continued exasperation about the amount of spellcasters in an archetype that looks mostly mechanical.

    Neos 
  • The summary of Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab is simply a zoom-in on the card artwork with not-so-ominous Latin chanting in the background, a flame effect edited into the foreground, and the caption "TRULY THE BRINGER OF END TIMES".
  • Rata attempting to read off Chaos Neos' coin flip effect as various Arcana Force monsters flash on screen.
    "Once per turn during your Main Phase 1, you can... toss a coin? Oh no, no, God, no, please no, anything but that, no! I don't want to suffer again, I don't want to be in pain anymore!"
  • Rata reading the effect of Neos Force, and giving up at the end from how abysmal he finds the card.
    "During the End Phase, shuffle this card into the oh, Jesus Christ - alright alright, this card is proof: they were taking the piss. They played us like a piano and we didn't even realize it. "During the End Phase, shuffle the shitty Equip card into the deck"... More like 'Neos Farce', am I right?"

    Vehicroids 
  • Rata introduces Syrus Truesdale as "PUSSY DESTROYER". This gets followed up later with Zane Truesdale sliding across the screen as Crawling starts playing, while he is given the name "Dick Destroyer".
  • When discussing Patroid's reveal effect: "Say goodbye to the days of blind MSTing, Artifact format! Now I know exactly where to aim... and they're all Moralltach. I mean, why wouldn't it be?"
  • He introduces Steam Gyroid as a Fusion monster with effects (having a Quick Effect that allowed it to send a -roid monster to the Graveyard to take control of one of the opponent's monsters, and a floating effect that added a -roid monster back to the hand from the Graveyard) that were far ahead of its time and milks the joke for as long as possible before revealing (while barely holding back laughter) that it's actually a forgettable vanilla monster. And judging by the comment section, it actually got a few people.

    Amazoness 
  • His reaction to Amazoness Fighter's artwork:
    "Next up is Amazoness Figh— oh my god, lady, your anatomy, what did they do to you?! You look like a genderbent Pillar Man from JoJo, it's... everything I never knew I wanted!"
  • Rata cements his qualification as an Amazon Chaser.
    "(after going on at length at Amazoness Queen's underwhelming effect for an archetypal boss monster) Still though, PLEASE STEP ON ME"(one quick segue later) "ANYWAY, that degeneracy aside..."

    Dark Scorpions, Venoms, and B.E.S. 
  • Rata's summary of the Dark Scorpions' "Super Sentai" Stance in Mustering of the Dark Scorpions:
    "I mean, look at it: Don Zaloog seems to be the only one enjoying himself here, being the leader and all. But Gorg is having trouble hearing so he put his hands behind his ears, Cliff is trying to unjam his hand from somewhere (possibly a trap he fucked up removing), Meanae literally can't even right now, and Chick stepped on a Lego."
  • The Muppets joke with Vennominon's name. "Do doooo do do do..."
  • Without any clue on what "B.E.S." actually stands for, Rata proceeds to come up with a bunch of nonsensical backronyms each time he talks about one of the archetype's members.
  • Rata's rapid-fire grading scheme for B.E.S.
    "No, no, no, plenty but in a completely irrelevant place, and no."

    Reptiliannes, Reactors, and Phantom Beasts 
  • Rata focusing on Scylla's artwork and asking "Which one of these mouths leads to the anus?"

    Flamvell 
  • His description of Rekindling: "At first glance, a mediocre comeback enabler. At second glance, WILL THE FIRE FIST PLAYER PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO FINISH THEIR FUCKING TURN ALREADY."
  • And later, when discussing the card, he mentions that nowadays cards can do a lot more than Rekindling with a lot less setup ("I am going to murder this fucking rat..."), and muses about whether it can come back to 3 copies. The video then briefly displays the line "(let's not actually have this at 3)".
  • Flamvell Loreman makes his triumphant return!
  • Rata pointing out that Flamvell Firedog is able to Special Summon Aitsu.
    Rata: You hear that? That's the sound of Tier 1. [muffled screaming in the background]

     Guardians 
  • The introduction of "The One Whose Shape Was Snatched" following Rata's failure to think of an archetype to close off the series.
    • Rata's first reaction is to blink, then wonder "what the shit am I drinking?"
    • After Shape rattles off a few suggestions, Rata fires a well-aimed, tired shot at his viewers:
      Rata: Are you my comment section?
    • Shape eventually demonstrates one of his many rods, covering Rata's eyes so he receives "the answer you seek" in a horrific otherworldly epiphany.
      Shape: This one opened up the hearts of even the worst of men, like Kevin Tewart.
    • After Shape vanishes by suggesting he's not actually real, Rata begins the video proper... and glances at his bottle of alcohol.
      Rata: I'm gonna need a whoooole lot of this to get through this one. (lifts bottle to lips as gulping sound effects play)
  • The following line about why Butterfly Dagger - Elma was banned, the goofy music change with announcing that it's banned just further sells it:
    Rata: (After explaining the effect) Guess which part of the effect got it banned! Obviously it was the downright insane 300 attack boost which power creeped the poor Vile Germs out of existence.
  • Rata is so amazed that Guardian Grarl has an inherent Special Summoning condition he heralds it with Overwatch music. Immediately after? He points out the uselessness of Gravity Axe - Grarl, which is needed to even run the monster the first place.
    Rata: Run only if you want to beat people over with a poop-faced bara dinosaur.

    War of the Worthless 
  • The very first duel has one when the Meklord player destroyed Flamvell's Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon by attacking it with Silver Gadget, of all things.
    Rata: Yes, what you just witnessed was a 3100 ATK Silver Gadget boosted by double Solidarity punching the shit out of Crystal Wing. Only in War of the Worthless, people.
  • One of the opening matchups: Arcana Force vs. Ally of Justice — A LIGHT luck-based archetype has the absolute misfortune of being matched against an archetype designed to counter LIGHT monsters. It was an embarrassing wipeout.
  • His declaration before Vehicroids vs. Dark Scorpion:
    Rata: NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS IN THIS ONE
    • One notable thing that does happen is the Vehicroid player bricking hard by turn 5, allowing the Dark Scorpion player to completely walk all over him with a pair of Xyz cards. Cue Rata slowly fading in an image of a child looking concerned.
  • Every time the Nordic player summons Tanngjostr or it is sent to the graveyard, Rata added a goat bleat.
  • The infamous Neos vs B.E.S. duel in the War of the Worthless. Up to that point, all seven duels had fierce background songs, a fiery VS card to present the duel and overall good duels. When it comes down to the last one, the VS card is replaced by an MS Paint-drawn version, with the archtypes' names being replaced by mocking nicknames written in Comic Sans note , and Rata himself does sound effects with the mouth before announcing with complete disdain:
    • Then, the first duel ends with Neos absolutely thrashing the B.E.S. player, who bricked heavily. The second duel goes back and forth a bit, until it reaches a ridiculous point where the low-life Neos player has a Neo-Spacian Grand Mole equipped with Moon Mirror Shieldnote  and uses it to keep attacking his opponent... except that B.E.S. monsters protect themselves from battle destruction, leading to various turns of nothing happening but Grand Mole dishing 100 damage. Rata's rant caps it off:
      Rata: And now, with the assistance of the insurmountable Moon Mirror Shield, the duel turns into Grand Mole Beatdown. The B.E.S. player without an Extra Deck, for some reason, is... completely unable to get over this... somehow. You may be asking, "why he's not using an Extra Deck? Maybe he's using a Monarch engine to place his B.E.S. monsters on the field?" Well, no. He's not. So, the lack of an Extra Deck is merely a gigantic oversight. Don't worry, it's just an oversight. Admittedly a gigantic one. He also happens to not have any Spell or Trap removal whatsoever beyond Crystal Corenote , which he's... completely unable to summon now. I think it's safe to say that the things aren't looking the brightest for the B.E.S. player... or the Neos player as a matter of fact, because he's BORING THE AUDIENCE TO DEATH with his combination of arguably the two most annoying cards in this tournament! What message is there to be taken from all of this? What can be learnt from our hubris of letting Neos vs B.E.S. happen? How do we conclude this matchup made in hell? I guess I could share a few thoughts on the matter: Neos was a mistake and B.E.S. has no reason to exist. Farewell, until next time. Give me Patreon money.
  • Rata didn't believe Genex would be able to do anything of note to the extent that he bet if they won the whole thing, he'd pour hot glue all over a limited edition copy of Blue Eyes White Dragon. Cue the Genex player figuring out a surprisingly effective way to actually use Genexnote , and Rata's increased concern that he might actually have to do that, leading to an image of Genex Controller riding Trishula.
    Rata: (after Genex defeats Reactor, showing a screencap of his betnote ) You know, I'm still not doing this. They had a favorable matchup, it doesn't count, okay? I don't actually have to do this yet.
  • Round 2 has some great laughs from him as well; just from the sheer absurdity of the strategies in play.
    • The first fight had the Phantom Beast player activate Ojama Trio against a Genex Player... who had a Black Salvo (Tuner Monster) out on his side of the field.note  Rata cannot believe that he just essentially handed his opponent the keys to a Trishula.
      Rata: Wait, y-you just gave a Synchro player Ojama Trio while he had a Tuner on the field. Now there's a Trishula on the field because you gave him Ojama Trio. You know what Ojama Trio does? Why did you activate that? You had him. You gave him three Ojamas. Three free Level 2s for a Synchro Summon. Are you high?! Is this some kind of four dimensional chess you have going on? Now there's a Trishula and a Gear Gigant X. AND YOU SURRENDER?!
    • The duel between Dark Scorpions and Allies of Justice has Rata in disbelief over Soul Strike being a thing.
      Rata: Hey yo, hold up Wh-what the fuck is that? S..s...soul, SOUL STRIKE?!?! (While Jeopardy's think music plays) If your Life Points are 4000 or less, when an attack is declared involving a monster you control and an opponent's monster: pay half your LP, then target one monster you control; It gains attack points equal to the deficit between your LP and 4000 until the end of your opponent's turn. What fucking part of the Mariana's Trench did you dig up this shit from!?!?!"
    • After the Allies dropped Soul Strike, Rata sped up the next several turns due to nothing of interest happening, until the Duel hit an anticlimactic end when the Dark Scorpions player dropped a desperation Allure of Darkness, got no DARK monsters and was forced to discard his hand as a result, and thus opted to crash a D.D. Crow into his opponent's monster before conceding.
      Rata: MLG Allure into minus 3! Suicide with bird for game! A p— A pro strat!
    • Reptilianne vs. Flamvell had the Reptilianne player dropping a Reptilianne Servant while two other monsters were in play, resulting in the Servant immediately self-destructing with its own effect. Topped off by Rata editing in a clip of JonTron going "WHYYYY?!"
    • "What godforsaken universe have I been transported to that I see Ally of Justice versus Genex in the semi-finals of the primary bracket?"
    • Things don't get any better for Rata in the final match of the primary bracket.
      Rata: ...How did it come to this? Does this mean that humanity has failed as a species?
    • The final move of the final match sees both Clear Wing and Crystal Wing activating their effects to negate each other. It's punctuated with scenes from Akiba's Trip that deliberately parody the negation effects in the game.
    • Genex's victory subsequently sends Rata spiraling into despair.
      Rata: Huh. Um, it seems that by some devilish circumstance, Genex has won... the final match in the primary bracket. And now I think I need to go into hiding, before the angry mob comes for my head with torches and pitchforks. (the screenshot of his bet comes up again) T-this image is not real. G-genex can still lose, depending on who wins the loser's bracket! (whimpering) They're going to win the tournament aren't they?
  • The finale of War of the Worthless is largely notable for Meklord's triumphant come-from-behind win over Genex, but still has its moments.
    • "Neos wins by burn damage! ...It's 2017, anything can happen."
    • There's something hilarious about Rata going from dismissive of Meklords in their video as "an archetype that couldn't fight a Synchro deck if their life depended on it" now desperately begging the Meklords to save him from having to hot-glue a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
      Rata: Keep it going Meklords, SAVE US FROM THE SYNCHRO MENACE!
    • And when Meklords finally win over Genex, by using Meklord Emperor Wisel's effect to equip itself with the Genex player's Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon, then activating Limiter Removal before directly attacking the Genex player for a massive 10,000 damage.
      Rata: Is it... is it over? G-Genex... lost? I don't have to nut on a Blue-Eyes?! [triumphant music plays] Congratulations to Meklords for winning the War of the Worthless tournament, climbing their way out of the gutter of the losers bracket, and showing the world that Genex can [music begins to fade out] indeed, occasionally, not win a duel. Eh, small victories.

Archetype Archive

    Aliens 
  • The Archetype Archive on Aliens is probably one of the most hilarious pieces of content of the channel. It starts with Rata describing why aliens are definitively good as a source for a card game archetype... and asking "how did Konami fuck it up".
  • After complaining about reviewing five Aliens with 1600 ATK, Rata ends up claiming that the city of Zgorzelec is secretly an alien hivemind.
    Rata: Fucking "Zgorzelec", are you kidding me? At least try being subtle about it you... you Alpha Centauri motherfuckers! Oh my god, their buildings are green, the infestation has begun!
  • The entire rant about the constantly mocked Alien Infiltrator.
  • Toadally Awesome appearing as soon as a Level 4 WATER monster is mentioned. He's later seen in his dungeon cell.
    Rata: Alien Hypno is a Level 4 WATER- NO! NO, BAD! BAD FROG! BACK, B-BACK TO THE DUNGEON!
  • He dismisses Alien Mother as "definitely not a MILP, a Mother I'd Like to Play".
    Rata: Nekroz of Gungnir, on the other hand, ooh baby slap me with an icicle.
  • The effect of Corruption Cell - "A" is demonstrated by a graphic of an "A" Counter being thrown at Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier and immediately falling off the mildly annoyed BLS's face.
  • Besides throwing more burns at Neos even after the end of the Legacy of the Worthless series, his analysis of Otherworld - The "A" Zone has him describing the uselessness of a small ATK-reduction in a perfect way.
    Rata: What kind of game state is this supposed to induce? "Welcome to the Otherworld! Prepare to be slightly discomforted..."
  • He has a seizure after reading the bizarre conditions for Crop Circles' negative effect to be triggered.
  • At the end, he dances with an alien to Selfish High Heels.

    Cloudians 
  • The running gag through the first parts of the video about how easily they can summon Toadally Awesome.
    Rata: (grumpily, after unlocking Toadally Awesome's cell) Come on, let's go. ...It looks like you're toadally necessary right now.
  • Rata visualizes the effect of Poison Cloud using Obelisk the Tormentor, sarcastically pointing out how such a strategy involving the user taking huge amounts of damage just to destroy an opposing monster was okay "because you burned them for 800, too".

    Batterymen 
  • The initial skit has an unhinged Rata attempt a Batteryman AA beatdown on Shape, who calmly finishes Rata off with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon starter deck.
    • Shape admits that this was accomplished via the influence of one of his many rods "with a funny nose". When Rata calls Shape out on this, Shape dismisses him saying "it's not cheating, it's just me".
    Shape: (rapping, as he starts to fade away) I am the One Whose Shape Was Snatched, don't need a shape to get respect up in the snatch.
  • Instead of an ending skit, Shape explains that the original footage for it was lost, and describes the skit as Rata mimicking Batteryman Industrial Strength by madly flailing jumper cables before triggering Shape's Sakuretsu Armor. "So really, you aren't missing much."

    Gimmick Puppet 
  • The opening skit has Rata brightly announcing the advent of Link Monsters in the game while Shape has breakfast. Shape's idea of "trying to consume my delicious omelette" turns out to be pressing a raw egg to his face while making crunching noises. His concept of "having a cup of water" isn't any better as he simply pours the glass' contents onto his lap.
  • Rata gets the idea for the video when a baby doll falls from the ceiling and must be pacified with one of Shape's many rods, prompting Rata to rant about the "puppet, with a dumb gimmick?! A gimmick... puppet...?"
  • Rata summarizes his thoughts on Gimmick Puppet Egg Head with a live-action skit where he takes an egg with Egg Head's face drawn on it and whips it at a wall.
    "This bitch slow! YEET!"
  • Rata noticing a certain... feature on Giant Grinder's body:
    "Oh, so a forklift is an acceptable crotch, but a rocket salvo is not [pulls up artwork of Flying Fortress SKY FIRE before and after censorship]. Fine, I'll keep that in mind for future submissions."
    (shows a picture titled "Subterror Behemoth Cranecock" featuring a dragon with the aforementioned construction equipment)
  • Rata finally decides that the baby doll isn't so bad, up until Shape suggests that the baby be named "Heavy Armored Train Ironwolf", causing the Montenegrin to remove the baby's pacifier and bludgeon Shape in the face with the baby.
  • In 2019, Ironwolf gets referenced again when Konami releases a similarly themed card in Gimmick Puppet Terror Baby.
  • Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll is introduced as carrying the aesthetics of "waking up after a Friday night city crematorium house greet-and-beat mangalosmackdown with 8 Ball in the backyard of a- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I JUST SAID".

    Cyberdark 
  • The intro skit has this gem:
    Shape: Make a Cyberdark video.
    Rata: Oh, really? And how are you going to make me? With one of your "many rods"?
    Shape: (silently pulls out a gun)
    Rata: (panicked) OKAY!
  • Cyberdark Dragon is introduced with its three fusion material cards coming together to Transformers sound effects... only for the fusion itself to be heralded with a fart sound effect.
  • The way Rata differentiates "Cyberdark Impact" the set and "Cyberdark Impact!" the card pronunciation-wise — he puts a lot of emphasis on the last syllable for the card, making it sound like "Cyberdark Impac-TUH!" Rata then insists that you have to pronounce it this way, otherwise you'll be kicked out of any tournament you go to.
  • After Rata lists off some of the various ways Cyberdark Claw's Extra Deck mill effect can be taken advantage of:
    Rata: THE POSSIBILITIES ARE—fairly limited but offer a decent amount of variety for some interesting plays.
  • Rata likes to point out how the text specifies Cyberdark Effect Monsters when Cyberdark Normal Monsters don't exist, prompting Cyberdark Sprongy to show up twice throughout the video.
    Card Text: He's a very stingy boy
  • "For the love of rods. First you throw Ironwolf off a bridge. Then you steal buckets of paint from the kindergarten in order to eat it. And now you're talking to yourself. Those Genex victories have really gone to your head."

    Morphtronic 
  • Rata's critique on Morphtronic Vacuumen ends with a jab at its artwork until he realizes that the card was a fan submission, leading him to reference the events of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's third season.
    Rata: Who lets children make cards? Last time that happened people died...
  • This remark on Morphtronic Datatron:
    Rata: You know how they say, no Morphtronic burn is complete without a good 300 effect damage to cap it off! ... (through laughter) What the fuck is this?
  • Rata cannot believe how underwhelming Gadget Hauler is, which doesn't get better when he learns what the spinoff games did.
    Rata: (facepalm) Yes, I know, this is exactly what the archetype needed. Through this entire review I was just thinking, "But what if they had a Tribute Summoned monster that swallowed all of your resources just to become a shitty beatstick?" And dally ho, they did it. They wasted their whole resources and gave it a Summon and Attack animation in Tag Force, are you ACTUALLY KIDDING ME -

    Ice Barriers 
  • The intro skit has Shape badger Rata for a new video, after making disparaging remarks about Rata's widening waistline. To Rata's understandable confusion, Shape's idea for a video in time for October is going to be about Ice Barriers instead of Vampires or Ghostricks.
    Rata: I'm sorry, I just don't see what Ice Barriers have to do with anything.
    Shape: No back talk, or you get the rod! Off you go!
  • As is the case with archetypes focused on WATER monsters, Rata is forced to acknowledge Toadally Awesome.
    Rata: Well, it's that time of the year again. Time for the cursed boy to make his appearance... (unlocks door, shines a torch into the "dungeon") Come on, get out! If you don't get out there's no more back row for you to eat.
    Subtitles: (cursed croak.sfx)
    Rata: Oh, PETA can't save you now.
  • Upon Rata's fawning over Dance Princess of the Ice Barrier, the subtitle writer admits he's given up, addressing Rata as a madman.note 
  • Rata's rant-inducing slight upon discussing Royal Knight of the Ice Barrier in the Ice Barrier Archetype Archive.
    Rata: (inhales and takes a deep breath) Okay! So this entire effect would have been perfectly acceptable if the card was Level 4, but not only does this 2000 ATK Level 5 specifically have to be Tribute Summoned to make a Token (which is not optional by the way, this is your life now!) but the card was made during the Synchro era so if you didn't destroy the Token during the turn you Summoned it, you gave your opponent a free level for a Synchro. I would also say you gave him a free Link Material but I'm gonna be level-headed and assume nobody has attempted to Summon this in the last five years. The single solitary upside of this card is that in case your opponent has a monster you can't run over, you can Summon Royal Knight and ram into the Coffin for 1000 damage but ironically you just put yourself into a coffin because you wasted resources on summoning ROYAL KNIGHT OF THE FUCKING ICE BAR-

    Vampires 
  • Rata commenting on how Vampire Lord used to kick ass back in the day... emphasizing "back in the day", which prompts a picture of Vampire Lord in a wheelchair with Vampire Lady pushing him.
    Lord: i used to be meta you know
    Lady: okay grandpa
  • After The Reveal regarding Shape's backstory, Rata reaches into his pocket and looks at some cards he had there... to find they're all copies of Abaki. Cue Rata's horrified expression.

    Watt 

    Crystal Beasts 

    Ojamas 
  • In the Ojama video, he repeatedly notes that Ojama Blue can search for Ojamuscle, and also states that higher minds know that the card is the linchpin in the Ojama mirror match.
  • This quick comment about Ojama Red:
    Rata: ...And somewhere between the bloodshot eyes and look of barely restrained violence, you will find a fairly useful card.
    Rata, later: Fitting effect for a dude that looks like he swallows marbles.
  • Rata's initial impression regarding Ojama Knight:
    Rata: What do you say about someone who puts on a speedo outside a full suit of armor? Y'know, besides "I'm calling the police?"
  • Rata discussing the lore in Ojama Country, and the debut of Ojama Lime:
    (camera zooms in on Ojama Lime) "I wanted Ojama Orange, but they gave me Ojama Lime? (camera pans to an Ojama-like creature with wings) Is that thing in the air an Ojama? (the camera pans to Ojama Green before snapping somewhere else) SNAKES?! (the camera zooms in on another Ojama before fading out) Ojama Indigo..."
  • Rata reading off the "handy" OTK strategy centered around Ojama King.
    Rata: (deep breath) Use Ojama Trio, then summon all five Ojama cards to the field and fuse Ojama Yellow, Green, and Black — by the way, you need to use Polymerization — and then use (ahem) Unstable Evolution (sounds of screaming) to make the original ATK of Ojama King 2400, and then use Ojamuscle to destroy Ojama Red and Ojama Blue, along with the Ojama Tokens. This makes the ATK of King 7400, and then equip MEGAMORPH to Ojama King to double its ATK to 14800. (in the distance) THAT'S A TEN-CARD OTK, HOW IS IT NOT TEARING UP NATIONALS?!
  • When he's about to discuss Armed Dragons, and how they actually connect to Ojamas, the first thing he does is open a can of beer.
  • When discussing LV (Level) monsters, he presumes that LV stands for "Legendary Vagina".
  • At the end of the discussion for Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon, Rata threatens to quit the game forever over the card not being named Ojamegazord.
  • One of the best introductions to the character possible:
    Lime: Hi, YouTube. Unfortunately, I'm Ojama Lime...

    Malefics 
  • Malefic Rata. ALL OF IT. The best part is that with the exception of the mask and the Malefic House prop, that entire skit was improvised.
  • Rata is decently impressed with Malefic Paradox Dragon... barring its last effect.
    Rata: "If Malefic World is not face-up on the field, destroy this card." ... Y-You had it. You Male-fucking had it, and you kill the guy if the shitty Malefic Field Spell is not present in the game. What, is he homesick?
    Malefic Paradox Dragon: I miss my Malefic mother...

    Madolche 
  • Shape informs Rata that he's having a bake sale, and asks Rata to review Madolches to fit the theme. And just for good measure, one of his many rods puts Rata in crossdress.
    Rata: W-what just happened?
    Shape: (flatly) Madolches.
    Rata: (looks down, seeing what he's wearing) What the fuck?!
  • Madolche Chickolates' segment ends with a narration of the "Chocolate Bird" meme.
  • Rata completely gives up on trying to pronounce Madolche Chouxvalier's name and settles for calling the card "Cocklover".
  • After the ending skit, Rata asks how long he has to keep wearing his skirt before admitting that it's actually pretty good.

    Ancient Gear 
  • The introduction has Rata plagued not only by dreams of ancient gears, he ends up finding copies of Ancient Gear Golem in the most inconvenient of locations, due to The One insisting that he profile the card on orders from Konami.
    Rata: Okay, what is it with you and Ancient Gear Golems lately?! I wanted not to say anything and I tolerated having thirty of them in my bathtub, but I do draw the line at having them in my food!
  • Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's review starts with Rata making another Take That! at Arc-V, where Hunting Hound's usage mostly revolved around its burn damage instead of its Fusion synergy with the archetype.
    Rata: Someone was paid to write this...
    • After explaining how hopelessly outdated Ancient Gear Knight is, Rata openly wonder how Academia conquered the Xyz Dimension using decks based on him:
      Rata: Did they catch everyone while the meta was Unformed Void Turbo?
  • While discussing Chaos Ancient Gear Giant, Rata remarks he would complains how the design of the card skew away from the other Ancient Gear, but seeing how the monster looks like it could vaporize his country by farting, he is going to abstain.
  • This is the first of Rata's videos to use a five-point rating scale as opposed to a three-point scale, as he says a three-point scale should be reserved for "how many factual errors [he]'s allowed to make before you turn the video off". Made even better by the fact that he admits he would have given Ancient Gear a 10 in terms of sheer power later on.
  • The Stinger has Ojama Lime profiling Geartown as a tourist attraction, and it getting blown up by Ancient Gear Catapult.
    Ojama Lime: Here's Ancient Gear Golem! ...That, that's all there is. Why do you think this place keeps getting blown up? Nobody likes it here. Oh, and here comes the catapult...

    Magnet Warrior 

    Volcanic 
  • The archive opens with a parody of "Trainers hate him" memes, profiling Volcanic Scattershot for "nuking fields, and burning fifteen hundred, and basically you're stupid".
  • "I mean, that powercreeps ABAKI."
  • On Volcanic Rocket: "Ah, TCG exclusives. Sometimes you're wonderful like this, and sometimes you're..." (shows a picture of Moja) "... whatever the hell this is."
  • Rata's response to Volcanic Rat, the obligatory Normal Monster in the archetype:
    Rata: A level 1 Normal Monster with 500 ATK and DEF... hm... IS THAT SOME ZUSHIN SYNERGY-
  • The Stinger has Rata describe Montenegrin Christmas: it's the only holiday they celebrate, their tree decorations feature 1st Edition Dark Artists, and their presents include a "single square of chocolate placed evenly on the table".
    Rata: H-how was that? Am I going to get the upvotes, and the likes?
    Shape: (offscreen) I'm stuck in your fucking chimney!
    Rata: (thinking) We have a chimney?

    Toons 
  • The Archive begins with a parody of the "Are you upset?" skit from Pop Team Epic, except with Popuko and Pipimi being replaced with Rata and Shape respectively.
  • Toon Table of Contents being used in Royal Magical Library decks has Rata wondering if all of the books in Royal Magical Library's artwork are just copies of Toon World, which he concludes to be horrifying.
  • The artwork for Mimicat is initially the Smug Tom AKA "That fucking cat" face before Rata changes it out for the correct artwork.
    Rata: If I see that goddamn cat one more FUCKING TIME -
  • When going over Toon Mask, Rata ends up reciting "All Star".
  • The Stinger has Ojama Lime, still trapped in Dark Sanctuary, prank calling a clone of himself. Afterwards, he's approached by a Dark Jeroid as a Scare Chord plays. It then cuts to the Dark Jeroid giving Ojama Lime a ride across a grassy field.
    Ojama Lime: This guy's a handful, isn't he?

    Red-Eyes 
  • Rata ends up going on a mad rant at the beginning of the Red-Eyes Archetype Archive, which results in him spilling the soda he was holding, which doesn't impress Shape.
    Shape: You know what? Good for you, I'll leave you to it. (slams the door)
    • Rata later stated that banging his foot on the coffee table was a Throw It In! moment that he was able to stay in character for despite it really, really hurting.
  • Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon is such an hilarious Power Up Letdown, Rata is at a loss on why you would ever summon it when there's exactly one thing it does better than the materials required to bring it out: getting attacked by a monster with 2750 ATK. Of which there are only four.
    Rata: You know, if you're really panicking about that 2750 Sengenjin. (old vanilla monster fills up the screen with a DUN DUN DUUUUUN)
  • While reviewing Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon he goes into an aside of an infinite loop on its interaction with Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons. The loop is dubbed over by the Flame Hyenard's memetic voicelines.
  • Rata gets increasingly exasperated at the amount of Red-Eyes monsters that are nothing more than re-trains of various monsters Joey used.
    Rata: Get it? It's a thing that Joey used.
    Mike: I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!
    • He particularly loses it when he gets to Red-Eyes Fang with Chain.
      Rata: GET IT? JOEY USED IT!
      Mike: OH MY GOOOD!
  • On this video's installment of Ojama Lime's continuing adventures, he ends up doing a review of the first 46 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS while his vehicle, Dark Jeroid, is searched by Tour Guide From the Underworld. Ojama Lime's "Review" is actually just him stammering about the ending to the first season of the show. After this, he's approached by Tour Guide, who tells Lime that Jeroid isn't a vehicle, but rather a sextuple abomination.
    Ojama Lime: I-I don't know those words.
  • Not even two days after the upload of the Red-Eyes Archetype Archive, Konami reveals a link monster which looks like a new Red-Eyes monster which Rata lampshaded on his Twitter account.note 
    Rata: Okay. It's been TWO DAYS. It's been TWO. FUCKING. DAYS.

    Vylons 
  • The opening to the Vylon video has Rata go over various infamous shapes (Including the Squircle) before being chewed out by Shape for not talking about Vylons.
  • Rata alludes to another Tetra when talking about Vylon Tetra.
  • Konami banning Ancient Fairy Dragon while Rata was talking about how it can be summoned by Vylon Stella results in Rata's lifespan being cut by at least 5 seconds, all the while Central City's theme plays in the background.
  • Vylon Charger is apparently performing a T-Pose according to Rata.
  • His succinct analysis of Vylon Ohm:
    Rata: It's a card included in the first set ever released in Duel Links, I think that says more about its utility than I ever could. Use it to recover your Arfuedutyr! (as a GIF of Italian Spiderman plays) Have I fixed Noble Knights?!
  • After bringing up Rod of Silence - Kay'Est's ridiculous synergy with Vylon Element, he makes this little comment at the Guardian's expense:
    Rata: You hear that? For once in your life, you're not a dumpster fire.
  • This time in The Stinger, Ojama Lime is seemingly getting recognition for his deeds at long last by God, who takes the form of the bearded man on the Solemn series of cards (Who's referred to as Solemn Johnson by Lime). He quickly ejects Lime from Ancient Sanctuary for not being Airknight Parshath, resulting in the latter being reunited with Dark Jeroid.

    Blue-Eyes 
  • The opening to the Blue-Eyes video has Rata elbow-slamming a Yuya Sakaki beach towel, which in his own words is the meaning of catharsis. The best part is that you can even hear some loose change dropping on his floor after the impact.
    Rata: [Wheezes] Egao now, bitch!
    "Oregon Spirit" plays as "We'll Be Right Back" appears on the screen
  • "That's not a head, that's a bean..."
  • Rata explains that Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon will get a full in-depth dive later in the video, cuing it to fade in while it yells like it just declared it was wednesday, my dudes
  • Rata knocks on the wiki again when talking about Lord of D.
    Rata: "The 'D' in this card's name stands for 'Dragon'." Thanks, Yu-Gi-Oh Wiki, I was worried that it stood for "Dschlong".
  • His analysis on Maiden with Eyes of Blue states that you can run her if you want, but to watch out for Utopia the Lightning - accompanied by a split-second shot of a sketch showing Maiden getting punched in the gut by the aforementioned monster for 5000 damage (and the Roblox "oof" sound effect).
  • Priestess with Eyes of Blue being introduced with an echoing declaration of "BIG MILKY" before going into the card's effect.
  • Rata's description of Master with Eyes of Blue's appearance:
    Rata: Why does he look like he's about to tell me how quantum mechanics prove God is a woman?
  • Mausoleum of White's effects cause Rata to suggest that it should've been named "PLEASE use Maiden, for the love of FUCK just, PLEASE play Maiden JESUS chriST" because that's what it is.
  • Rata can't hold back his laughter as he explains how Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's effect was first revealed on the bottom of a ferris wheel passenger seat in Japan.
    Rata: Make sure to check under your neighbor's truck for some unreleased Exodia support.

    Lunalight 
  • Following Rata's vitriolic reaction to how "Fur Hire" was localized, the opening skit manages to top it off with this gem: Rata fusing his pets "Tired Cat" and "Vanilla Rabbit" to become "Lunalight Rat Dancer": Rata as a dancing fursona.
  • Lunalight Tiger is introduced with the misheard lyrics of "BANANA TIGER".
  • Rata initially remarks that Lunalight Wolf should be called "Lunalight Oof!" before hastily asking that his comment be cut from the script.
    • Later, when profiling Lunalight Panther Dancer:
      Rata: This design is targeting me as a person, specifically.

    Kaijus 
  • The opening skit for the Kaiju video has Rata initially talking via inaccurate subtitles with an old movie filter until Shape tells him to take it off.
  • When introducing Gameciel, Rata plays the clip of Gamera swinging on a pipe in Gamera vs. Guiron.
    "Man, look at him go! Spins better than Knightmare Unicorn."
  • After pointing out the questionable name of Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju and then getting to the equally-unfortunate Jizukiru, Rata quips that the next Kaiju might be named "Ejaculord".
  • Rata's ending narration is accompanied by a 3D model of Godzilla dancing.
  • There's technically no Ojama Lime skit this time. Instead, we're treated to a game on YGOPRO with every single one of the normal sound effects replaced by Ojama Lime voice clips.
    Ojama Lime: I just wanted to know where did you... netdeck this from. Now I know, Ojama Lime has no space to be critical... and it's your right to think that and it's your right to say that. But at the same time, I mean - come on, you didn't make this deck.

    Ghostricks 
  • The opening for the Ghostrick video has Shape (Who not only has a new Scottish voice but is also taking the form of a pumpkin) wishing Rata a happy Halloween only for the latter to point out that Halloween was 10 days ago.
  • After Ghostrick Mansion's effect is explained, we're treated to a quick skit between Armageddon Knight and Ghostrick Lantern where the latter sadly explains how his game plan is just him getting attacked a lot and hoping that everything works out from there.
    Ghostrick Lantern: [Sniff] Hard knock life!
  • Rata's attempt to introduce Ghostrick Specter starts with him corpsing at the ghost's appearance, zooming in on its appearance while a caption "I will eat your dog" appears underneath.
    Rata: Next up is Ghostrick Specter oh my god, look at him! (laughs) I can't keep going, he's - he's too scary, ha...
  • Ghostrick Nekomusume's name is introduced as Japanese as possible, with Rata mimicking a stereotypical accent and matching sound clip. The sound clip is reused every time the card is mentioned.
    Rata: Because the name "Catgirl" wasn't scary enough for the USA, or something?
  • Rata noticing the creature Ghostrick Yeti is holding in the midst of his closing thoughts on the card.
    Rata: "Yeti, my man, I appreciate that you care about your friends, but I think you should just stay home and take care of.. whatever these things are, w-why aren't these things real monsters? I love them. C'mon, let's get some of that Ghostrick Medjed.
  • Ghostrick Skeleton is initially introduced as Ghostrick Sans complete with it brandishing Sans's glowing blue eye from his boss fight along with the first few notes of Megalovania playing.
    Ghostrick Skeleton: my wife left me
  • Rata can barely hold back his laughter after profiling Ghostrick Warwolf, observing that with the right setup Warwolf's burn damage can "reach the sacred heights of ABAKI".
    Rata: (through laughter) Do I have to point it out, it's been a while?
  • The ending skit has a girl narrate the spooky phenomenon of "the photos with a scary man in them", which feature Ojama Lime Photoshopped into various pictures. Her dry, sardonic delivery is quickly interrupted after Ojama Lime enters her recording room, looking for the toilet, much to her chagrin.
    Narrator: That's it! You're going back in the septic tank!
    Ojama Lime: (as various cartoon sound effects play in the background) Ow. Stop that. Stop pulling that. That goes straight to my skull. Ow. (sound of a toilet flushing) Thanks for letting me hang ooooooooouuuut...

    Six Samurai 
  • The video starts with Rata giving a tutorial on how to be a Hardcore Samurai Spirits, which consists of having a hardcore samurai sword (Or an appropriate substitute) and a human sacrifice. Cue him menacingly walking towards the camera.
  • Rata freaks out at the design of Shien's Footsoldier and Shien's Squire. They're referred to as "monky" and "monky... 2!" for the rest of the video, and as "the apeshit gang" when they both appear in Kizaru's artwork.
    • After he introduces Squire, he questions whether samurai warlords were associated with monkeys somehownote , and goes on Yugipedia to see if he can find an answer. He clicks on the page for "Shien's Adopted Child"... which is a redirect to the page for Shien's Squire.
      Rata: Oh, now I understand... even less than before!
  • The Running Gag about Chamberlain of the Six Samurai's missing arm.
  • "And these are the ancient Japanese eye-beams, which they use to write the Yu-Gi-Oh rulebooks."
  • Rata initially calls the Legendary Six Samurai the At Least Six More Samurai.
  • The Six Shinobi summed up:
    Rata: I feel like if you manage to get your board to this state, there won't be a next turn. Like, there's playing win-more cards, and then there's leaving a smoking crater where your opponent's dignity used to be. This is the latter.
  • Ojama Lime finds himself in a Six Samurai owned dojo and promptly asks where the bathroom is in Japanese with mistranslated subtitles.
    Enishi (In perfect English): What the fuck is this gaijin even talking about?

    Gishki 
  • The entire opening skit between Emilia, Vision, and Zielgigas.
  • Flamvell Loreman makes a third appearance as "Ally of Justice Spellcaster".
  • Rata suddenly breaking out into a limerick when talking about Gishki Beast's effect.
    Rata: In addition to this,
    it re-triggers Abyss,
    so if you run one,
    or absolutely none,
    it's certainly better than piss.
    (laughs) Why did I do that?
  • Rata getting tripped up when referring to the deck's final non-Ritual, non-Xyz monster, and proposing that everyone call main deck Effect monsters "Pringles".
  • Rata explaining how Gishki Chain becomes Lavalval Chain in the Duel Terminal lore, "for the sick and twisted Sharkboy and Lavagirl sequel you never knew you needed."
  • After negatively comparing Gishki Psychelone's effect to that of Mind Crush, Rata admits even Mind Crush is not what it used to be after recent ruling changes.
    Lightning: Search Judgement Arrows.
    Varis: Mind Crush, Judgement Arrows.
    Lightning (angry): I don't have Judgement Arrows.
    Varis (dejectedly): Oh, OK...
  • When naming Extra Deck monsters to dump with Zaborg the Mega Monarch's effect, Rata can only refer to Toadally Awesome as "... motherfucker."
  • His introduction of Gishki Zielgigas has him point out the card's 0 Defense, because that's "pussy shit", accompanied with an edit of the card art that has Zielgigas dressed like a Chad.
  • Upon finding that Gishki's last Trap card isn't terrible enough to rip into, Rata rants about the archetype not giving him material to work with, getting in a final jab at Elemental HERO Divine Neos for good measure.
  • Ojama Lime seems to have found a desk job at some kind of tech support center... much to his surprise.
    Ojama Lime: Chess Archfiends? I think you've got the wrong game.

    Gem-Knight 
  • It starts with a Steven Universe title card simply saying "God damn it", setting the tone for the rest of the video.
  • Gem-Knight Garnet gets labelled as "the town bicycle" because of his tendency to end up in countless other decks as part of the Brilliant Fusion engine. Rata almost immediately points out how weird it is to describe Garnet like that.
  • Rata makes good on his suggestion from the previous video of calling main deck Effect monsters "Pringles".
  • Rata makes yet another dig at Arc V's second half by saying that it was hijacked by humanoid iguanas from the underworld.
  • While he feels that Gem-Turtle is outdated, he does give it points for being a turtle due to his love for them while showing off his own fun sized turtle resting in the palm of his hand.
  • Rata calls Gem-Knight Topaz and Flame Wingman's partially shared effects burst damage simply because it sounds cool.
  • After pointing out that Gem-Knight Zirconia is a Fusion monster with no effect, he focuses in on its stats, saying "DAMN BOI, HE THICC!"
  • The ending skit where Downerd Magician acts as the DM for a round of Dungeons & Dragons with Jester Confit and Embryonic Beast, with her not so subtly showing her contempt for the former. Where does Ojama Lime fit into all of this? He ends up burping up their dice. And he somehow snuck in undetected despite sitting at the same table as them.
    Ojama Lime: How's that for initiative?

    Signer Dragons 
  • Befitting Rata's disdain for how the 5Ds anime progressed, it's no surprise that a video discussing the 5Ds protagonists' ace monsters is filled with Rata dumping on cards he dislikes with acerbic wit.
    Rata: If I by any chance heavily insult your favorite Signer Dragon, keep in mind it was probably my full intention to do so.
  • Due to Shooting Star Dragon's first summoning in the anime being accompanied by a Masaki Endoh insert song, it gets a rating of 10 D's by default while chicken tenders rapidly spin onscreen.
    Rata: It's Crunchalicious!
  • When talking about Red Dragon Archfiend, Rata posits that someone in charge of the 5Ds manga localization was really horny for its RDA retrain, hence why it's named Hot Red Dragon Archfiend.
  • The ending of almost every segment of this video has Rata give his closing thoughts on each of the lineup of dragons, accompanied by fanart of the Signer Dragon in question and the character that used them. For Black-Winged Dragon, the only picture that comes up is a screenshot of the Arc-V anime with the subtitle "It's all your fault, Crow."
  • Rata hastily appending Black Rose Dragon's infamous nuke effect to the end of its description, as if he almost forgot it existed.
    Rata: Yeah, did you know that in addition to its handy battle position changing effect, Black Rose Dragon can also nuke the field on summon?
  • Every Signer Dragon's section kicks off with a heavily pixelated clip of said Dragon, a caption and Rata narrating the name in a clumsy groan. When he gets to Power Tool Dragon, he instead interrupts the clip, pointing out that he's already said everything he wanted to in the Morphtronic Archetype Archive.
  • After going over Ancient Fairy Dragon which was banned for enabling first turn kills, Rata is at a loss on how to grade her, and concludes by giving her a score of "Banned out of 5 D's".

    Frogs 
  • Rata's conclusion that "T.A.D.P.O.L.E." stands for "Terror, Agony, Death, Pain, Oppression, Loss, Evil".
  • Rata describing what sets Des Frog apart from a normal frog. Complete with a close up, creepy music, and menacing kana.
    Rata: He looks like a normal frog but his vibes are truly rancid.
  • Rata using the audio of the "it is wednesday my dudes" meme to cap off the segment on Des Croaking.
  • Rounding up the original set of Frog monsters, Rata absolutely loses it at the sight of their Fusion monster, dubbing it "Thanksgiving-aftermath-dry-land-Godzilla-looking-ass-Perfectly-Ultimate-Great-Overtoad-Goddamn-Froggy-Football-Dad D.3.S. Frog".
    • Upon analysis and pointing out that D.3.S. Frog has less ATK than the combined ATK of its materials, Rata makes a startling observation:
      Rata: But look, it's got protagonist ace monster stats! Maybe our next main character might be Yurgle, a quirky boy from the swamp with an affinity for crawly amphibians.
  • Rata's increasingly desperate attempts to not mention the infamous Frog the Jamnote , to the point the final card in the archetype triggers a national emergency message when its name comes up.
  • After Toadally Awesome escapes its prison, Rata journeys out into the night in order to find it. What follows is a good few minutes of Rata walking around Montenegro at night before he finally finds it at the Abyssal Pond (Which has a Dark Souls inspired logo pop up when he arrives). And then he gets its name wrong.
    Rata: Well, if it isn't Frogally Amazing.
    Toadally Awesome disappears, and the camera suddenly turns to the side
  • We're finally shown the reason why Ojama Lime was banished from Ojama Country by Ojama Emperor: Sand just kept pouring out of every hole in his body. All two of them.

    Vendread 
  • The One Whose Shape Was Snatched returns after nearly a year of being absent, with an incredibly spooky opening skit.
  • When Vendread Battlelord's OCG name is brought up (Vendread Bastard), Rata refers to it as Vendread Your Prom Date, You Ugly Sack Of Shit.
  • While the archetype gets props from Rata for the lore, he's not fond of how the cards try to hammer it home with the usage of closely named cards.
    Rata: (comparing Vendread Revolution and Revendread Evolution) Oh yeah, keep injecting that semantic theming!
  • Rata's reaction to the baffling effects of Vendread Nightmare; he concludes by telling viewers to run 3 of it in every deck, even if they have nothing to do with Vendreads, just so people can witness how bad it is.
  • For the ending skit, Ojama Lime's idea of procuring Hallowe'en decorations turns out to be graverobbing for corpses. After collecting twelve of them, he chooses to ignore rescuing The 13th Grave before coming across Ryu Kokki, who greets him with glitched graphical effects. As Ojama Lime proceeds to walk himself off a nearby cliff, Ryu Kokki admits he was trying to warn Lime about the cliff.

    Inzektor 
  • The opening skit poking fun at the series' Schedule Slip, with Shape having become nothing but the head and coat due to not getting any duel energy from Rata.
  • Rata wondering why they picked earwigs of all bugs to base one of the Inzektors off of, before pointing out that Inzektor Earwig looks like The Tick.
    Rata: Are you even sure that's an earwig?
  • Rata remarking that Ojamas have a better field nuke than Final Inzektion.
    Rata: That... that hurts to say.
  • The way Rata reacts to the Inzektor equip spells having "Zekt" in each of their names twice.
    Rata: Zekt this, Zekt that... I get it, you watched Kabuto! (imitating Souji Tendou) Grandmother said this: Shut up.
  • The ending skit this time is Ojama Lime doing a terrible stand-up routine in front of a frigid audience of Dark World monsters, which is already pretty funny in a Cringe Comedy way. But the kicker came the next day, when Konami unveiled their newest card preview: Ojama Pink, an Ojama with a discard effect (aka the Dark World trademark gimmick). Rata was... not happy about that.
    • The stinger features Jimbles breaking character as Ojama Lime.
      Jimbles/Ojama Lime: Hey, we got any Enraged Muka Mukas in the audience tonight? [cracking up] We got any Rush Duelists in the audience tonight? Course we don't... Nobody plays Rush Duels... Those things fucking suck! ...That's the joke!
    • Hilarious in Hindsight given Jimbles would come around to enjoying Rush Duels, while Rata still does not enjoy the format.

    Earthbound Immortal 
  • Shape tells the story about the haunted Lost Episode of Legacy of the Worthless that's in the box next to him, which Rata proceeds to obliviously take because he loves VHSes.
  • Upon reading on the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki's "Tips" page for Chacu Challhua that it can be used in Defense position to "stall the opponent while getting strategies together," Rata promptly breaks down into helpless laughter.
  • "So what you do is YOU TAKE THE MOON, AND YOU TAKE THE SUN - "
  • The ramble-y way Rata talks about the older Incan mythology support cards:
    Rata: There's also Apocate...quil? Quil? He also floats into some garbage... He's got a box for a head. There's Weeping Idol... (zooms in on its face) It's okay, buddy. Me too.

    Mecha Phantom Beast 
  • The opening skit has Rata musing why birds can fly and he can't, while Shape suggests a review on flying things, which would allow him to fly and give Shape review energy. His suggestion:
    Shape: What you'll wanna do is Blackw-
    Rata: Mecha Phantom Beasts!
    Shape: ... This might be the end of me.
  • The performance of pure MPB builds being described as "having fewer tops than a femboy gathering."
  • While first explaining the MPBs' mostly shared effect of spawning a token, the token for Megaraptor can be seen flying past in the background accompanied by fake plane noises.
  • Rata's rant towards Crystron Halqifibrax shortly after he discusses how Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion was banned along with every other good generic tuner monster because of its existence. He then says that the card was another unfortunate victim of the "Needle-Sneedle-Feedle of 2020".
  • All of his remarks on the MPBs' level-gain effect, which often leaves them with monsters that they can't properly use for Extra Deck plays and are often above level 12.
    Rata: While unique, this effect has a curious downside: it sucks ass.
    • He later notes that Coltwing's effect is nice for cleaning up spare Tokens, since it's not uncommon to leave yourself with a pair of Level 13 monsters... or you can get three more level 13's to "make Numeronia the chaddest way possible".
  • When Rata comes across Do A Barrel Roll he refrains from making a video game reference like he did with Sonic Boom on the grounds on how direct the former is, while showing the infamous Off-Model artwork from Star Fox Command.
  • Ojama Lime's attempts at fortune telling via old terrible Normal Monsters, ultimately resulting in his premonition of the viewer being accosted by a small green man immediately comes true as he runs across the table right at the camera.

    Ice Barrier Part 2 
  • While playing ULTRAKILL at the start of the video, Rata expresses joy over not having to talk about any new Ice Barrier Structure Deck seconds before his character drops into a level that has every single floor texture changed into the art for Frost Spirit of the Ice Barrier.
  • Rata takes every possible opportunity to rag on Royal Knight of the Ice Barrier, forcing a mention of it into nearly every card introduction.
  • His Cuteness Proximity response to Frost Spirit of the Ice Barrier:
    Rata: Frankly, this card could banish my entire deck facedown when Summoned and I would still love it because it looks like this. I refer to this phenomenon as "the Tsuchinoko effect."
  • After making a joke about it in the first Ice Barrier review about Prior of the Ice Barrier, Rata refers to Attendant as "Later of the Ice Barrier".
  • Like Royal Knight, Flamvell Magician also gets brought up a few times to complain about how crappy the new cards' stun effects are for the sake of lore over gameplay utility.
    Rata: I mean, I know why the stun effects are like this, and it's not a good reason, but I'll give you an image as a hint:
    (Flamvell Magician's face fills the screen with a fart sound effect)
  • He nicknames General Wayne of the Ice Barrier "Wayne 'The Ice' Johnson".
  • While mentioning the other two level 11 Synchros in the game in relation to the new Trishula monster, he offhandedly refers to Gashadokuro as High Lord Wolnir.
  • His Ice Barrier deck list at the end consists of 40 Royal Knights.
    Rata: Oh, wait. That's my personal one. You want the boring deck list. Well, here you go. (puts up an actually playable deck)

    Buster Blader 
  • The intro skit, in which Shape attempts to convince the viewer that Yu-Gi-Oh isn't real despite Rata walking around and picking up very real cards.
    Shape: Now I know you want the episode to start like normal, but it's not gonna solve any of your prob— what are you doing? What are you doing? ...I-is that fucking Buster Blader?
  • Rata's whole confession when going over how for years he though the art on Emblem of Dragon Destroyer was a boot instead of the upside down hilt of Buster Blader's sword. Punctuated by a lot of the comments of people suddenly finding out it's not a boot like they thought.
  • Rata poking fun at the new wave of Black Luster Soldier support and its naming scheme, referring to it as Soldier Luster Soldier Super Soldier Soldier.
  • Rata's disdain for Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon returns when talking about its precursor, Dark Paladin.
  • Dragon Buster Destruction Sword's return from being banned is accompanied by an animation of it doing the Fortnite default dance, set to Lonely Rolling Star.
  • Rata's exasperation at all the Spellcasters in the Genex episode carries over into this one when discussing Wizard Buster Destruction Sword.
    Rata: You know, the swords are a spellcaster... (a clip-art collage of two swords wearing a wizard hat and holding a wand pops up on screen)
  • When discussing how he appreciates that Protector Whelp Of The Destruction Swordsman continued the story of Buster Whelp beyond growing up, turning evil, and dying tragically, he sums it up with a quote from Girl Chan In Paradise
    Buster Whelp: "I am no longer dead!"
    Buster Blader: "That's nice!"

    Triamids/Chemicritters/Digital Bugs 
  • Archetype Archive's first triple feature starts with Rata writing off Shape as a dead husk... only for Shape to demand that Rata stop pretending he's dead. Rata's plan to kick Shape out of his house for good is to hurl a disc marked with "Emergency - 2016 YGO Pack Filler" at Shape.
    Shape: What - what did you just put in front of me? Looks like Hungry Burger at the end of the Damage Step!
  • Compared to other archetypes featured in the series, Rata finds Triamids, Chemicritters and Digital Bugs so woefully underwhelming and outclassed he deems them all unfit to be given a proper rating, respectively giving them a "Carolinian dirt mound", "solid carbon monoxide poisoning" and "digital shrug" out of 5.
  • When discussing Triamids, he notes that their three Field Spells have such underwhelming effects that they could have combined all 3 of them into one card and just barely have something worth playing. He then notes that since Konami hasn't yet made a Polymerization card for Field Spells, he should just move on from the topic, but not before showing a hypothetical "Field Spellemerization" card, which talks about "Fusion-activating" a Fusion Field Spell from the extra deck. About 1 month later, Konami revealed the card "Ursarctic Drytron", which banishes the Field Spells of 2 different archetypes to summon a Fusion Monster representing both archetypes. Rata was not amused by this coincidence.
    Rata: Next video will have zero jokes about hypothetical cards. I see now they're too dangerous.

    Harpie 
  • How does Rata start the Harpie video? Barge into his living room declaring, "I have no idea how many crickets you can fit inside a Pepsi can! From now on, I'm watching out for the SIGNS!" Said sign is a pair of chicken breasts on a plate that turn into a copy of the vanilla Harpie Lady after a jump cut.
  • Rata kicks off his introduction proper by empathizing with the uncredited and overworked Yu-Gi-Oh! card artists, suggesting that the one moment of joy they get is being able to work on "something as unapologetically horny as Harpie artwork."
  • He adds that he'll avoid commenting on the TCG censorship of the Harpie artwork unless it's relevant, if only because there's only so many jokes you can make about it, but he remains amused at the TCG's approach to giving all the Harpie Ladies colored bodysuits and suggests that the TCG gave them the flavor of "Willy Wonka's blueberry gum".
  • "You know speaking of Mai, where is she? How's she doing? Why'd she have more screen time in Pyramid of Light than in Dark Side of fucking Dimensions? Is she okay - "
  • Rata absolutely loses it when bringing up Birdface, barely able to finish its name without laughing.
  • On Harpies' Hunting Ground:
    Rata: I don't even have any jokes to make about the artwork depicting the systematic extermination of Ojamas. I just think it's very cathartic.
  • Rata constantly tripping over reading out Phoenix Wing Wind Blast.
  • Rata's confusion over why Cyber Slash Harpie Lady is a Synchro Monster given that it's made for a Duel Monsters-era archetype, then shrugging it off as "Nothing is sacred anymore."
  • For the ending skit, Ojama Lime takes the viewer through the old Ojama Country before the Harpies came and exterminated everyone. Said tour comprises of piles of rocks Lime tries to pass off as monuments with equally unimpressive backstories, punctuated by harpie attacks every so often... until the very end, where he shrugs off his own rock piles that actually look like museum-quality modern art. And for the final attack:
    Ojama Lime: ROBOT DRAGON. (Lime promptly gets dogpiled by several mechanical dragon Extra Deck monsters)

    Infernity 
  • Rata starts the video by barging into a room, confronting Shape's head for answers while brandishing a gun - namely when Hallowe'en is supposed to be. Shape cheerfully comments on the unspecialized body experience and how bodily pain is relativistic - which is a prelude of Shape's intentions to rip Rata limb from limb as soon as he gets an opportunity. Rata's response is to declare he's not afraid of Shape and fire his gun, only to find it's been replaced by a nerf replica.
  • As he introduces the archetype and explains how it was used in the anime, he compares Kiryu/Kalin to the Joker.
  • When he covers Infernity Beetle's ability to put two Tuners on the field, he goes into how situational this is, unless you happen to be into Double Tuning... or perhaps, Jacking off.
  • On the... questionable design for Infernity Doom Dragon:
    Rata: Also... no. I don't know why it looks like that. I understand this game draws design inspiration from a lot of obscure sources, but somewhere between "fiendish Wild West" and a googly-eyed crab-hand demon deer dragon with an exposed brain, there's a stunning gap of information!
  • Rata observes with amusement that Hundred Eyes Dragon had to be renamed from "Hundred-Eyes Dragon" in the TCG just to make sure it didn't give Earthbound Immortals access to Red-Eyes support.
  • On Infernity Barrier:
    Rata: "I don't know what the TCG was on with their exclusives back in that time, but if their new archetypes are anything to go by, they've been feeling very sorry for it ever since! Well, run three cuz, you know how they say - the more the Barrier! Ah ha ha ha ha - IT BROKE THE GAME."
  • Ojama Lime's segment has him taking the viewers on a tour of a haunted house, which he swears "has never been done before". It turns out to be actually haunted, but not the house he was looking for. Instead it's for failed Yu-Gi-Oh! archetypes.
    Spirit: This is the Archetype Mass Grave! There's a whoooooole room just for Pendulums down the hall!

    Super Quant 
  • With his body finally restored, Shape decides it's time to harass Rata into doing reviews of archetypes he actually wants (i.e. Elemental Heroes), only to stumble on Rata agonizing over old Fusion Monsters that don't make sense.
    Rata: "Great Mammoth of Goldfine! A golden mammoth! Two materials - NO MAMMOTH!"
  • Concerned, Shape recommends that Rata move onto Masked Heroes instead, which Rata accepts. Pleased at this turn of developments, Shape proceeds to look for an "expired can of Crystal Pepsi"... only to realize that Rata is being uncharacteristically smug. Sure enough, he turns back to see Rata decked out in a bootleg Power Rangers outfit.
    Shape: "Oh, you stupid fu-"
  • Rata wondering whether White Layer is from the same species as Alphan, or if he's just Alphan somehow growing into a bigger body Kiba Ranger-style. Cue a clip of Kiba Ranger suiting up but with Alphan's head on Kou's body.
  • When he covers the first part of the archetype members he caps off at Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus which is introduced with great fanfare. But when he gets to the second boss monster of the archetype, Neo Super Quantal Mech King Blaster Magna, its introductory fanfare is just a kazoo version that makes it look like a Shoddy Knockoff Product, on top of Lord Zedd's Dark Rangers being used as the background.
  • Rata laughing about the art of Super Quantal Alphan Spike.
    Rata: "More like: 'Have a ball'! You know if you miss, Alphan is just, dead."
  • He looks over Super Quntal Alphancall Appeal, which summons a Ranger and their Zord to the field as separate monsters. He compares the intent to the ranger swooping to the field and saving the day, but in practice it's more like the ranger drunkenly stumbling onto the battlefield and passing out trying to get into the Zord.
  • When talking about Magnaslayer he goes over how it's a "win-more" card — it's incredibly fantastic if you've put out Great Magnus, but when you're behind and struggling it's a very poor topdeck. As he puts it eloquently:
    Rata: I put a win-more card in my Deck but now I'm winning less? How can this be happening to me?
  • After reviewing the final card he doubles back with the realization that Alfan doesn't have a smiley face and instead just has a giant nose with no mouth. He apologizes for this "cannot be unseen" fact like the Buster Blader "shoe revelation".
  • Ojama Lime somehow manages to wander into the trash dump for Master Duel cards, much to the confusion and frustration of Super Defense Robot Lio and Monki - who Lime initially mistakes for Super Quantum Red and Green Layer. After realizing that Lime clearly isn't interested in leaving and insists on helping out, they ask him to pilot the Googly-Eyes Drum Dragon. It goes very badly, very quickly.

    Melodious 

    Jinzo 
  • He kicks off the archetype review with Jinzo... #7. Given how #7 is so pitiful, he wonders what #2 to #6 would be, theorizing that a prototype effect be a mandatory effect that attacks its owner directly.
  • While talking about the archetype's namesake, he also brings up the next best Level 6 Machine at the time, "Steel Ogre Grotto #2". He continues talking about Jinzo's history... but the weirdly-translated "Ogre Grotto" names proved to be annoying enough for him to rant about how those monsters have very little to do with a grotto.
  • After gushing over the aesthetic design, he goes back to the Keep It Foreign aspect about its name. He admits both the transliteration "Android Psycho Shocker" and the current "Jinzo" are still really cool, much unlike its counterpart "Spell Canceller"
  • Amplifier is determined to be superfluous, since if you're running Jinzo you're already building your Deck to be as minimally impacted by him. However, he showcases a really silly infinite loop that uses this card (and two banned cards) which leads to Jinzo constantly and uncontrollably switching sides.
  • When going into the retrain legacy support, he snarks over a couple of Non Indicative Names. Psychic Bounder is a Machine rather than a Psychic, and while the same is true for Psychic Megacyber, he also notes that its original incarnation The Fiend Megacyber is a Warrior rather than a Fiend.
    Rata: Is this a bad time to propose my pitch for the Pyro-type variant named "Sea Serpent Megacyber?"
  • "Psychic Wave" lists "Graveyard" so frequently that Rata punctuates each mention with a soundbite from "Spooky Scary Skeletons".
  • "Cosmos Channeling" has conditions that are meant to be an anime reference but the archetype is not built to facilitate it. Rata calls out such obtuse conditions but gets interrupted to sarcastically sing its praises over a very inefficient combo that would make the most of it.

    Entity 
  • The video begins with Rata in a bookstore, where he discovers the complete works of H. P. Lovecraft in the sports section, prompting this picture as a result.
  • Amidst the more serious research into the Cthulhu Mythos and subtle editing to mimic Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Rata spontaneously beatboxes the name of Elder Entity N'Tss.
  • Rata mentions that you can summon Old Entity Cthugua with Melffys, but adds that the locals might get concerned when the Lovecraft player pulls out a cat in the middle of the duel.
  • While most of the sanity effects are suitably spooky, some are... not, including a jumpscare by an Ordinary Sausage clip or Forbidden Apocrypha sending monsters to the yard. complete with picture of a normal garden.
  • After reviewing Old Entity Hastorr, Rata complains that the Lovecraft-themed deck could feature more entities created by H. P. Lovecraft himself rather than other contributors of the mythos only to get jumpscared by Old Entity Nyarla.
  • Since the narrator going insane in the ending of a Lovecraft-themed video is so predictable, Rata proceeds to completely phone it in in the goofiest way possible.
    Rata: and then I went to the fish market and went insaaaaaane at the fish market. goodbye.
  • Ojama Lime tries his hand at a demonic summoning ritual note  only to summon a Gorgon Egg instead. The monster then does nothing but slowly approach the camera as its eye turns hyper-realistic, while an angry Lime is complaining that there's supposed to be a punchline and that this was meant to be the episode where he would finally get to die horribly.
  • A different type of funny is that Rata in the comments tried to pass off his mention of N'tss being summonable by Instant Fusion as yet another sanity effect.

    Penguin 
  • He's personally amused by the Early Instalment Weirdness in the card text for Penguin Knight that didn't get get a PSCT update, so he interprets "form a new Deck" in as many ways as he can, including replacing it with a MegaMan NT Warrior TCG Deck.
  • Rata's most distinct memory with Nightmare Penguin as a kid was when one of his mother's co-workers walked into the living room while he was watching the anime on TV.
    Coworker: Did he just say fucking Nightmare Penguin? What's wrong with cartoons these days?!
  • When he reaches Nopenguin he milks the "Nope" joke as much as possible.
  • While covering Penguin Cleric he suggests shortening "Special Summon in face-down Defense Position" to "Special Set", justifying the suggestion with the TCG's choice of shortening "Graveyard" to "GY". Then, he exaggerates the decision to abbreviate by abbreviating all of Penguin Cleric's effect text, creating something almost unreadable.

     Support Report 
  • Rata in the first Support Report dubs the Dark Saviors set (includes Sky Striker/Brandish Maiden, Fur Hire/Skyfang Brigade, and Vampires) as a triple fetish pack of Mecha Musume, furries, and goths.
  • From the Support Report covering Ojamas/Malefic/Blue-Eyes among others:
    • Rata can't bring himself to make an Old Maid joke about Madolche Teacher Glassouffle, preferring to call her a really sweet old lady.
    • Ojama Emperor's segment starts with some words from the card himself (Taken directly from the Pathetic Aesthetic video on Ojamas, with his voice being provided by Jimbles, Ojama Lime's voice actor, spoken in a breathless wheeze) with Rata struggling to hide his laughter the whole time.
      Ojama Emperor: I need help. If you can lift me from this throne, you can become the new Ojama Emperor.
      Rata: But, it's not good!
      Ojama Emperor: It's not a good idea. So if you want to leave me here, I respect that.
    • Additionally, Ojama Lime makes a cameo at the end of the above segment, quietly asking if he can be in the video.
    • After talking about Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon, Rata remarks that Konami should've injected some more potential into it.
    • Rata makes fun of Mecha-Thunder-King's Overly Long Name by adding In-Birth Exe:Late[st] to the end of it.
  • Endgame is bookended by Stack Reviver, who sends in various support cards for Rata to review. At the end, it decides to play smooth jazz in the form of Tag Force music.
    • It starts with Stack Reviver immediately throwing Nucleus Infinity Core into a portal to begin...to get this:
      Rata: ...Is that a Meklord's Butthole?
    • Rata proposes that the Wisel retrain, Synchro Absorption, should've been named Synchro Already Absorbed, with the card's title being Wisel - Don't Ask Me For Shit.
    • After reviewing Meklord Assembly:
      Rata: Run three. You know what? Fuck it, run four. They'll never notice.
    • His incredulous reaction to Arcana Reading's negative effect.
      Rata: Flip tails to let your opponent search any card from their deck? Are you high?!
    • Reveals that he didn't know that Echidnas could also be a reptile, instead he figured they were just...Knuckles.
    • Gave Rainbow Dragon, Zenith of the Crystal Beasts a pass even if the deck didn't have a strict win condition on the grounds that older archetypes like them have to take what they can get...
      Rata: For instance, with Ice Barriers you get an entire structure deck because Deck Democracy has failed us.
    • States that he's a bit sick of the Madolche archetype, who got two incredible cards, probably due to all the sugar.
      • Also notices that in the artwork of Madolche Promenade had a bird taking a bath in a chocolate fountain... the exact joke he made in his own video about Madolches.
        Rata: I swear I had nothing to do with this, please don't put Madolche support on my conscience, I-I'm not responsible for this -
    • While talking about Toon Terror, the Meatball Man slowly flies in from the center of the card's artwork while its theme blares in the background, and no, Rata does not acknowledge this.
    • Laments for a moment that alls well that ends well...except it doesn't...it never did...as the background is suddenly caught on fire, as Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon slowly appears with "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" playing and panicked screaming.
    • Rata posits that whoever drew the art for Deep of Blue-Eyes wanted to be deep inside Blue-Eyes before breaking out into laughter.
    • To demonstrate Red Supernova Dragon's effect, Rata pretends to be Man-Eater Bug and activates the latter's effect. The screen immediately glitches out and cuts to red.
  • Support Report 2021:
    • In part 1, Rata hams up the pronunciation of Gullinbursti's name, who is also depicted as being a Laugh attribute monster, which Rata brings zero attention to.
    • Rata completely butchers the pronunciation of Nordic Relic Hildskjalf.
      Rata: Ah, you may laugh now, but just you wait until they pull out NORDIC RELIC MÖGLIGTBADRUMSHANDDUK!
    • While speaking of Dragonroidnote , Rata ask why they bothered printing him rather than any other Roid monsters. Notably Shuttleroid, leading Rata to ask if Konami somehow lost him in space.
    • At the beginning of part 2, Rata tells viewers to watch out for spoilers of part 1, before cracking himself up over the concept of spoiling a video like this.
      Rata: "Ooh, I bet he's gonna review some cards in this one, ohoho!"
    • Part 3 has him opening up with The Tyrant of D.note  Rata can barely get through the card's name.
      Rata: This has to stop.
    • Rata calls Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon "the thing that exists because Kaiba refuses to accept that he will never be able to be inside of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon." He then blames Konami for giving him easy material given that he made almost the same joke about Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon (Deep of Blue-Eyes) previously.
    • After the end of the video, Ojama Lime sneaks in while Rata is wandering around singing to himself to prop Ojama Pink up on-screen, as if to remind Rata that he forgot to mention it. Before Rata gets back to the computer, the card falls on top of Lime, and Rata fails to notice anything except the fact that he's still recording.
  • Support Report 2022:
    • When talking about Morphtronic Converter, he remarks how it puts the monster on top of the Deck so that you can resummon it off a Celfon... unless you fuck up and somehow roll a 0.
    • He closes off part 2 with the anime-based Infernity support "Return of the Reaper," praising it for being a solid card all-around. His optimism is interrupted as he learns the TCG localized the name as "That Creepy Little Punk", and dread sets in as he plays clips from the 5D's dub to confirm it.
      • What's funnier is that the proxy of the card Rata displays already has the TCG name in the effect text despite having the OCG name on top of the card, letting sharp eyed viewers learn about it a few seconds before Rata does.
    • When talking about Red-Eyes Soul he's a little confused at the art depicting the moment after Red-Eyes's arm was blown off by Rocket Warrior. He riffs on this decision by sarcastically predicting Konami printing "Shriveled Harpie Lady", after they were weakened by Time Wizard's effect in the anime.
    • He promises the audience "a cool picture" to get them to stick around the duration of part 3. By the end of the video, he fulfills his promise with a mishmash of card arts underscored with epic guitar.
  • Support Report 2023:
    • He goes over Earthbound Fusion which surprisingly isn't archetype-specific, so you can make any DARK Fusion monster as long as you have a Field Spell up, and can support a number of strategies such as "Barox beatdown!" The music immediately cuts out and the awkward silence hangs in the air for a bit before he proceeds.
    • He's a little irritated that the new Earthbound cards departed from the Nazca line aesthetics of the original Earthbound Immortals, stating "If they weren't in the ground, I don't want them around!"
    • He groans at the sight of yet another wave of Ice Barrier support, even though their story's already concluded, and wearily calls their tenacity "the only legitimate argument against global warming being real".
    • Georgius, Swordsman of the Ice Barrier, can Special Summon a Level 5 or lower Ice Barrier monster from the hand or GY, and a lot of monsters are valid for this effect, including Royal Knight of the Ice Barrier. Rata entertains that thought for a moment, before reminding himself that you need to Tribute Summon Royal Knight to make it actually do anything.
    • Part 3 ends on Principug, where Rata can only say "...doggy?" before he starts singing "Only Time" while silently revealing that it's Guardian support.
    • Rata's usual luck strikes again: even though he delayed the release just in case, the very next week after the Support Report, Konami unveiled another new Ancient Gear card (a retrain of Cyber Dragon, no less), apparently just to screw him over.

    The 60k Life Point Duel with HardLeg and DuelLogs 
  • The mere concept of a duel with more life points than several games put together and drawing five cards each turn is insane on its own, but add Rata and the voice of Ojama Lime to the mix? Utter chaos.
  • His first hand:
    Rata: Ok, wow, this is terrible.
  • Ojama Lime wasn't supposed to be there, but due to weather, time differences... and the fact he stole a car. Rata states he doesn't have one:
    Ojama Lime: Not anymore you don't. That's what happens when you fuck with me.
    • Made better when Rata points out that was the first time he said fuck, Ojama Lime panics because the kids can't hear him like this.
    Ojama Lime: I'm fucked up! I'm drunk!
  • Rata's first turn ends with him summoning Garbage Lord. AKA himself... and then created LANphorynchus because he didn't trust a 0/0 monster being on the field, which causes the entire group to lose it because of the sheer randomness of it, creating a Running Gag of nearly every monster they pick up or summon possibly being used for it.
    Jimbles, later: Here's LANphorynchus everybody, I hope you're happy to see him, because I sure am.
    Jimbles, even later: LANphorynchus! LANphorynchus! MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!
  • Rata's continued insistence on yelling "SICKO MODE", to the point that Jimbles is struggling to keep it together.
  • When the board gets wiped thanks to HardLeg, Jimbles lightly panics, and Hardleg just tells him all he needs is the heart of the cards. Jimbles proclaims that he banished it.
  • The story of Ancient Leaf's price spike that was based on a format changing rumor, which immediately involves asking how much Ojama Lime invested in Ancient Leaf.
    Ojama Lime: All the money I had... twelve cents.
    • HardLeg makes a "she took the kids" joke that Jimbles immediately capitalizes.
      Ojama Lime: I SOLD THE FUCKING KIDS.
  • During yet another boardwipe, Jimbles decides to take off the kid gloves and special summons Meklord Emperor Granel, which thanks to its effect gives it almost 26000 ATK and DEF.
    Ojama Lime: It's-a time for Ojama Lime to do Ojama Crime!
  • HardLeg and DuelLogs assumed that Granel's effect only applied when it was face up and lost it when it was changed... and then attacked into it, revealing it still very much had it, causing them to lose over 20000 LP.
  • Jimbles regails the group with how he OTK'd Rata with Meklord Astro Mekanikle with Limiter Removal on Turn 2.
  • When Rata summons Thousand-Eyes Restrict, he spends a couple seconds thinking of what card he's more worried about that he'd like Restrict to take: Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon... or Fairy Tail - Snow.
    HardLeg: What are you more worried about? One is a fucking dragon, and the other is the Furry Agenda.
    • Made even better by Rata stating that he decided on Overdragon because Yu-Gi-Oh taught him that fat number big.
  • Rata asks Jimbles blessing to do something stupid. Jimbles personally doesn't approve of it, but Ojama Lime does. Rata ends up taking Lime's blessing to summon Winged Dragon of Ra, paying all but 100 of his 48000 life points, and attacking for game.
    HardLeg, panicked: WHY DIDN'T YOU HAVE MAGIC CYLINDER!?
  • HardLeg wonders what losing to Lime makes him, and Ojama Lime explains that's how you become an Ojama: You lose faith in your own humanity.
  • When Rata says Jimbles shouldn't disappoint the people who clicked on the video because they saw the little green gremlin:
    Ojama Lime: BUT ALL I KNOW HOW TO DO IS DISAPPOINT!
  • When HardLeg plays Extinction on Schedule:
    Jimbles: During your main phase, Destroy Namek.
  • When Rata has three cards on the field, everyone assumes he's going to Summon Ra again. They're technically right... he summons Sphere Mode.
    Rata: It's a baaaaaall!
  • During the 2nd Duel, HardLeg gets rid of a trap card that he's sure is Magic Cylinder, only to reveal Wall of Revealing Light. HardLeg postulates that the plan was to pay 50,000 life points and then dare them to attack.
  • Rata asks Ojama Lime why his deck is so similar to his. Ojama Lime noted that he broke into his house, sleeping on his couch, and eating his cat litter. Rata says he doesn't have a cat.
    Ojama Lime: What have I been eating then? I don't wanna think about it.
    • The difference the deck has, according to Lime, is that he put birds in it. Rata counters by stating he put bigger birds in his.
  • DuelLogs, the guy whose decks are usually overly creative and ridiculous, ends up having the most competent and together strategy for this insane format.
  • After a pretty vicious turn in which Rata/Jimbles are able to do what amounts to Scratch Damage, they realize it's been three turns since Extinction On Schedule was played, and watch in horror as their well-built field is completely wiped.
  • HardLeg after he picks up a terrible draw:
    HardLeg, confused: How did I draw five cards and brick!?
    • Rata states that's him playing Destiny HEROs. Jimbles suggests putting that on his gravestone.
    • Immediately afterwards, HardLeg is staring at his hand trying to think of something to play... while the only card on Rata/Jimbles side of the field is Jester Confit. They laugh at the absurdity.
    Rata: Ominous clown music intensifies!
    • As their turn ends, Jimbles states he set the field up well by giving Rata a whole clown.
    • HardLeg postulates that clowns are the bottom of the social totem pole in Ojama Society, and that's saying something.
  • Rata attempts to activate Endless Decay's effect, he realizes too late that Doomking Balerdroch's effect goes off when another zombie's effect goes off.
    Jimbles: YOU WASTED A CLOWN, YOU DAMN FOOL!
    • Made slightly better by Jester Confit returning, and by doing so, re-activating the card ZeroZerock. Jimbles is impressed.
      Jimbles: You just did a very big brain play by complete accident!
  • Rata summons Number 61: Volcasaurus, which can destroy a monster and do battle damage. Of course...since everything's a Zombie, Balerdroch's effect goes off. Jimbles pleads Rata to not do this.
  • Halfway through the second duel, Jimbles commends DuelLogs for expecting anything by that point.
    HardLeg: I can't predict his movements, they're too erratic!
  • HardLeg finally finds a way around Jester Confit using Interrupted Kaiju Slumber, Rata quips that this is how the IT sequel ends — Godzilla just shows up and destroys the town.
  • HardLeg postulates that the amount of thinking they've had to do amounted to them underestimating their opponents, and then Rata/Jimbles dropping their weighted armor. Made worse by the fact that their decks basically work against each other instead of with each other.
  • Jimbles did not expect his opponents to have to play around ZeroZerock.
  • The group marvels at Big One Warrior having what looks like Pistachios on his shoulders, leading to Rata to point out Metalfoes have spoons all over them, while also calling back to his Did you Know video.
    Rata: Subscribe to Rank10YGO for more Metalfoes facts.
  • Jimbles summoning Recital Starling, boosting one of DuelLogs' monsters to 4800 ATK... and then immediately crashing into it with Recital Starling so they both take 4800 damage, leaving Jimbles with an empty field. Jimbles seems confused that he took damage.
    Jimbles: Wait, why didn't it work?
    HardLeg: (laughs)
    Rata: It did! You just kind of ignored that that was the entirety of the effect.
    Jimbles: Welp! Here we go, boys! We're going in raw!
    Rata: We did the best we could!
  • Immediately after that, HardLeg seems to brick for the second turn in a row, but he then plays Boogie Trap, to Jimbles' confusion. He uses it to get back Extinction on Schedule, and Jimbles begs him to reconsider.
  • Rata states that this series of games was the only time he's had fun playing Yu-Gi-Oh in six months. Lime chimes in that this is the first time he's ever had fun at all.
  • Jimbles's description of the Ojama Lime voice:
    Jimbles: You wanna be somewhere between Kermit and Jordan Peterson, that's called the lime zone.
    DuelLogs: (laughs) What?
    Rata: Don't go there.
    Jimbles: Don't... do not go there at all costs.
  • Jimbles has to make a 250 life point comeback. His opening play combined with his declaration of Let's Get Dangerous! makes the call crack up, especially Rata.
    Rata: Alright motherfucker, time to die! I summon Turquoise Warbler.
    HardLeg: I summon my warbler, and my prank-kid, and my Maldoche Cruffsant!
    Rata: Aren't they adorable?
  • Throughout the duels, Jimbles and Rata spend whole turns assuming they have Magic Cylinder waiting to happen... only for it to not show up once.
    DuelLogs: I thought that was a meme!
    • The one time it does show up in HardLeg's hand, Ojama Lime spins it back into the deck with Knightmare Unicorn. Lime thinks he's joking for a second when he says it actually was Magic Cylinder.
  • At the beginning of their final duel, HardLeg is trying to find a Patron to shoutout, and DuelLogs suggests the only patron he has who's also a yugituber (him). HardLeg chooses to shoutout the guy he did earlier.
  • Rata's first hand isn't very good, to which DuelLogs points out his whole deck special summons from the hand.
    Ojama Lime: Not the whole deck, you just summoned all the cards that don't!
  • DuelLogs notes that he's never seen Watch Cat in another person's deck prior to Ojama Lime's. HardLeg postulates they're of the same soul and wants to see the DuelLogs/Ojama Lime fan-fictions.
    • HardLeg's idea of how their first meeting would go.
      HardLeg: You have the same cards, wanna fuck?
      Ojama Lime, trying really hard not to laugh: NO! The answer is NO! I repudiate this!
  • While Ojama Lime is trying to come up with a decent plan, almost everyone calls him making an Extra Link, which of course in-character Lime has no clue what he's doing, and HardLeg suggests he somehow Extra Links to the other side of the field.
    Ojama Lime: Oh man! Oh this sucks! Why do people do this!?

    Pathetic Aesthetic 
The Pathetic Aesthetic streams, consisting of Rata and Jimbles riffing on card artwork, are full of hilarity. Highlights include:
  • Dimension Dragons:
    • The Running Gag of Rata playing the first few notes of Megalovania whenever one of them points out a dragon with a blue eye (or one with a skeletal motif).
    • The two of them completely lose it over Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon's crotch spike.
    • Jimbles' utter hatred for Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's line, particularly the alternative art for Starving Venom and Greedy Venom in general.
      • After he agrees with Rata that the original looks the best during the segment with Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon despite giving it a higher rating than Starving, note  this happens.
        Rata: No- you gave it a 1!
        Jimbles: Yeah.
        Rata: And you gave this a 2.
        Jimbles: Yep.
        Rata: Why- then why do you say the first one looks the best?
        Rata: I caught you red handed!
        Jimbles: I gave it a 2 before I saw it like this.
        Rata: So you don't like it then?
        Jimbles: Eh, it's.. I'll keep it a 2.
        Rata: ..But then you still like it more than the original.
        Jimbles: In theory.
        Rata: You're really confusing me right now..
        Jimbles: Don't worry about it.
    • Supreme King Odd-Eyes starts off with pointing out its Christmas color scheme, which ends up being the saving grace of the card as the "Konami orbs" finally make sense as Christmas ornaments.
      Jimbles: This is a 5 outta 5, this is a 5 outta 5, Merry Christmas!
    • On White Wing Magician:
      Rata: This is a Twitch girl who some dumb fuck donates to in hopes of getting to date her, while she goes out and has sex with her boyfriend Black Fang [Magician].
      Jimbles: Pretty much! She doesn't tell you that her boyfriend is Black Fang, so you go to all her streams and donate, and then eventually you have a falling out because Black Fang comes in, like, drunk with no pants on her stream.
    • Jimbles starts the Purple Poison Magician art off right.
      Jimbles: Now this is a gamer.
    • Rata goes into hysterics realizing that Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom has the same color scheme as The Joker, and then later losing it even harder over the voice Jimbles gives to Purple Poison Magician.
      Purple Poison Magician!Jimbles: Can I get your Discord now?...And now that we're talking...I NEED TO SEE YOUR FEET! Many nights have I dreamed of your toes! If you don't, I shall use my position as moderator to say the "N" word in your chat!
    • Rata's... admiration for Astrograph Sorcerer's artwork.
      Rata: I think the first time I saw this art, I became pregnant.
  • Assault Mode:
    • Jimbles has what is possibly the worst yet best criticism of card artwork yet.
      Jimbles (on Doomkaiser Dragon/Assault Mode): The original design looked like some kind of monster. This just looks like a fucking Yugioh card.
    • The whole section with Arcanite Magician, be it the revelation his Assault Mode version is essentially the original with his robes serving as a cape, or his skinny frame that contrasts his armor or the.. comments Rata made about him.
      Rata: This is a man I can imagine having a very formidable penis.
    • Jimbles losing his mind over Hyper Psychic Blaster/Assault Mode's boots.
    • Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode's design is made even funnier by this comment on the video:
      Matteo Alacran: So if all the assault modes float on destruction, this sort of means the armor goes away. However, in the case of Arcanite Magician, he just decides to put his robes back on upon destruction.
      Rata: thanks for the hysterical mental image
  • Koa'ki Meiru:
    • Every second of the part with Koa'ki Meiru Wall, from them realizing he's doing the "Well! What is it!" pose to them theorizing what the chains on him are for.
    • The duo riffing on Koa'ki Meiru Ice in a Mr. Freeze voice.
    • Jimbles immediately starts losing it over Koa'ki Meiru Crusader, who fittingly enough is used for the thumbnail of the video.
      Jimbles: He's got so much poise!
    • Using a model from a DS game, they discover Koa'ki Meiru Rooklord is actually a goofy-looking Chicken Walker. They already have a much harder time taking it seriously, and then all charisma the design might have left is annihilated once the words "Kentucky Meiru" send them both into a laughing fit.
  • Ojamas and Stuff
    • The comparisons of Ojama Red to Epitaph.
      Rata: I CAN SEE TEN SECONDS INTO THE FUTURE, AND IT ALWAYS SUCKS!
    • All of their ten-minute look at Ojama Country, complete with Ojama Lime giving a tour of the place after Rata and Jimbles go over the artwork themselves.
      Rata: I never knew I could feel so insulted by a field spell. Then again, I played against Chicken Game once.
    • While looking at Ojama Duo, Jimbles theorizes, much to Rata's horror, that Ojama Red and Blue are the results of Ojama Emperor reproducing (or "Ojamitosis", as they call it).
    • Rata starts off the "Stuff" portion of the stream by showing off Kattapillar, before using it as a segue to showcase the grotesque art of Parasite Discharge.
      Rata: I love Yu-Gi-Oh. It's fun for the whole family.
      Jimbles: Well, not fun for him!
    • While Rata has seen most of the cards that Jimbles presents during the second half of the stream, he is taken completely off-guard by Toad Master.
  • Numbers:
    • Rata and Jimbles completely lose it over the tiny man on Number 15: Giant Grinder's artwork, which neither of them had noticed before.
    • Them trying to figure out what Number 18: Heraldry Patriarch's name has to do with its appearance.
      Rata: (reading from the wiki's trivia page) "This card is part of the Heraldry archetype used by Vetrix. The name of this card comes from the fact that Vetrix is the male head of his family, which is why this card is called Heraldry Patriarch."
      Jimbles: As represented by the floating ice rocks.
      Rata: (laughing) You know, like a dad!
    • Rata goes to the toilet during their review of Number 20: Giga-Brilliant (a metallic insect) and tasks Jimbles with telling the viewers some ant-related story in the meantime. Jimbles ends up revealing that he used to, of all things, think up entire backstories for Desktop Destroyer's ants before he smashed them with the game's hammer.
      Rata: Whatever Jimbles talked about right now, I am sorry.
      Jimbles: We were talking about ants!
      Rata: How did that lead to "I did not have a normal childhood"!?
    • Everything during the segment on Number 26: Spaceway Octobypass. They're both absolutely baffled by the card, and the duo making jokes about its "space pussy" eventually results in Rata saying "Fuck this!" and moving onto the next card.
    • Their reaction to Number 44: Sky Pegasus lasts a total of 10 seconds, with Rata's only commentary being "HORSE."
    • Jimbles reading the backstory of Number 50: Blackship of Corn from the ZEXAL manga, and him subsequently saying it sounds like something he would have made up if he was asked to improvise a story to it.
    • Rata pointing out that Number 51: Finisher the Strong Arm looks like a One-Punch Man character who got as strong as he did by eating hands his entire life. Jimbles hears "hands" as hair, which they agree is funnier and more in line with ONE's writing.
    • After a roster of mostly "badass" designs, Rata unleashes the greatest of them all: Number 63, Shamoji Soldier. Hearing Jimbles slowly go from Stunned Silence to uproarious laughter is something to behold. By the end of the video he still considers it the best one.
    • The voice Rata gives to the head inside Number 67: Pair-a-Dice Smasher's hammer. Jimbles notes that it looks horrified, and also that the Smasher himself looks like he's about to smash someone into a pancake just to watch the head bounce around like a pinball.
    • This exchange on Number 87: Queen of the Night, after she's compared to Belle Delphine:
      Jimbles: Imagine walking through a garden at night, and she rises out of a flower and asks you to donate.
      Rata: Would you donate?
      Jimbles: No. I don't give money to plants.
      Rata: Oh, we're talking about money? Okay.
    • Rata referring to Number 100: Numeron Dragon as "Dragon Dragon, the Dragon of Dragons".
    • After realizing that Number C101: Silent Honor DARK is inside of Number 101: Silent Honor ARK, Jimbles jokes that there must be a "Silent Honor DARKEST" inside of him.
  • Kuriboh:
    • Rata's anger to why The Wretched Ghost of the Attic is described as a inoffensive monster despite being Wretched, Jimbles conclude it's probably because it smells like shit, seeing that it's a ball of hair living in the attic.
    • Because Multiply wasn't originally intended to be a Kuriboh-specific card, the art does not look like Kuriboh at all. They decide that the depicts something called "Kuromble". "This takes your Kuriboh and turns it into so many Kurombles."
    • Winged Kuriboh leaves them at a loss as to why it even exists when regular Kuriboh can already fly. The LV9 version goes even worse with what appear to be rocket thrusters strapped to its butt. As Jimbles puts it, "Where does he need to go!?"
    • Kurivolt, according to them, looks like a Kuriboh that fiddled with a Tokusatsu Transformation Trinket, accidentally triggered it, and promptly got choked by the summoned spandex suit. Rata is left actually wanting a "Tokuriboh" to be released.
    • As the Kuriphoton section goes on, they grow quickly convinced that it's just a sentient sex toy.
      Jimbles: Yuma found it in his mom's dresser and didn't know what it did, so he made a card out of it.
    • Sphere Kuriboh, or as they call it, "Toon Ra Sphere Mode". Jimbles later describes it as "how a blind machine god would look at Kuriboh and improve him"... unfortunately prompting the segue into Relinkuriboh.
      Rata: And what did your blind machine god have to do with this one?
      Jimbles: This is not the work of god, this is the work of men. The work of men with no moral compass and too much knowledge.
      Rata: And too much crack. Which they gave to the Kuriboh. Its eyes are red!
    • The Kuriboh Palette Swaps summoned by Five Star Twilight leads into a tangent about "Kuriboh NFTs", leaving them both in tears.
      Jimbles: I overlay these monsters to construct the blockchain!
    • Jimbles is outraged to realize Astral Kuriboh is just a recolor of Rainbow Kuriboh... or rather, an uncolored Rainbow Kuriboh.
    • They attempt to get Magikuriboh to take its Dark Magician costume off, because he clearly stole it.
      Rata: Mahad! There's a fucking... thing in your closet!
    • Jimbles voices Barokuriboh as an incredibly posh nobleman, and it's as ridiculous as it sounds.
    • Kuribottorero gets reinvented as a conquistador, complete with goofy spanish accent and the conclusion that the furball with a sword was the ultimate warrior that destroyed the Eldlich civilization.
    • Rata's exasperation to Jimbles wanting to look at cards only tangentially related to the Kuriboh, culminating with Rata doing a five second look to Voltage Summon:
      Rata:"Whoa, who cares!? It's only Kurivolt having a gamer moment!"
    • Jimbles reveal that his favorite part about The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh is that it attracts the Kuribohs without someone playing it, they just want to look at it. They conclude it must be the odor that attracts them before they get captivated by the sight of the flute.
    • Detonate concludes the live reaction and it doesn't disappoint, First, Rata describes the artwork as the Shadow Realm of Kuriboh where Kuriboh beats you while making cute noises. and then mocking the discrepancy between the name of the card and what the artwork represents:
      Rata:I just want to point out, If you imagine a card called Detonate, Would you expect to look like this !?

    Miscellaneous 
  • A Duel. In which Shapesnatch Turbo becomes the new meta.
    • Made even funnier in the comment section, where Rata admits that he threw this deck together at 2 in the morning and won with it on his first duel.
  • The Cubics Hallowe'en Special
    • The video starts with a skit where Rata ends up surprised by Skull Servant, much to his chagrin.
    • Rata expresses confusion at the archetype's dub name of "Cubics" when only two of the ten monsters have cubes in their design.
    • Rata concludes that the archetype's biggest strength comes from opponents failing to read the Cubic monsters' effect text due to the sheer length, then wondering why their own monster's effects failed to trigger after being negated by the Cubics.
  • The Malicevorous episode, if you can call it that, can only be described as Rata throwing around silverware and losing his sanity.
    Subtitles: [Rataâ„¢ loses his will to live (if he hadn't already)]
    Subtitles: [Rataâ„¢ attempts to free himself from our reality]
    Subtitles: AAAGGGHHHâ„¢
  • Effects Fur Hire, where Rata goes "all the way".
    Rata: Oh, fucking with PSCT for the memes! That is, that is a new one, Tewart... How long did it take for you to come up with this one, five minutes on a crack bender?
    Subtitles: Wiz, Sage Fuw Hiwe (kill me)
  • At the end of his video announcing a slight delay in his upcoming Kaiju video, he adapts a Tumblr post in which Aleister the Invoker opens up heaven and isn't responsible for what happens next. What ensues is Invoked Elysium floating above the earth while Smooth plays, along with the sound of people panicking and running for their lives.
  • The opening to his updated train video has plenty of great material:
    • The opening has Rata, barely hinged, walking outside to show an absolutely dreary day:
    Rata: North Korea ain't got nothin' on Montenegro, baby.
    • Every time his cats show up, a Cathy Katherine line plays.
    • When Rata "digs up" his framed copy of Super Dora and holds it up, he immediately lampshades how clean it stayed unlike his conscience.
    • Finally, he shows the copy of Super Dora the card art of Juggernaut Liebe.
      Rata: Come on, baby Jesus! You gotta see this! It's your dad! Back after five years!
    • Rata dubs Double Header Anger Knuckle "Choo Choo McFuckhands".
  • His Firewall Dragon video in its entirety, in three acts:
    • His Punctuated! For! Emphasis! way of showing that Firewall Dragon's been banned.
    • Him pointing to a google image search of Firewall, declaring no more of it or the protagonist will be part of the game anymore. Instead? They will be playing Mistar Boy. Cue Ocean Man.
    • Him finally capping it off with a succinct, but clear message, over weight gain art image of Firewall Dragon with DOOM music playing in the background:
      Rata: SEE YOU NEVER YOU GAME-KILLING BOZO
  • "Archetype" Archive - Sparrow Family
    • Beast-Warrior Puma sums up Rata's This Is Gonna Suck sentiment on the series, noting that Puma is the "archetype"'s only search option, tutors out a specific card which is immensely difficult to summon, and actively works against the effects of other members.
      Rata: We're off to a great start.
    • No sooner than he's finished naming Phoenix Beast Gairuda:
      Rata: Listen I know it feels like I'm jumping across random unrelated cards but I swear all of these are connected.
    • After going over Phoenix Beast Gairuda's effect (Level 6, 2500 ATK monster that has 2800 ATK during your Damage Step), he has this to say.
      Rata: Uh-oh. This one's dangerous. It can crash into your Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon with extreme prejudice! That is, unless you stock up on Dragon's Treasure, the world renowned counter to Phoenix Beast Gairuda.
    • Rata initially laughs at Ironhammer the Giant for having so much poise, then saying that with his very specific Summoning Condition, he should be Summoned from the other side of the planet.
    • Upon reading D.D. Jet Iron's effect (can be Tributed to Special Summon the monsters that were used for it's Special Summon (D.D. Esper Star Sparrow, Beast-Warrior Puma, Phoenix Beast Gairuda, and Ironhammer the Giant) from the Graveyard), he makes a realization and promptly rips into the card.
      Rata: It's... Valkyrion. It's the literal exact same effect as Valkyrion except released 12 years later and attached to a group of cards somehow equally as unimpressive as Magnet Warriors. How... who let this happen? It doesn't even look cool, it's like an anorexic Dark Destroyer. They didn't even give it a removal effect or anything, this i- this is sad! Oh, it's gone.
    • He grades the "archetype" with a zero in all categories, except versatility, which gets a -1, saying that they could lose to a deck of Uno cards.
    • The finale gives us Ojama Lime in space, which is Ojama Lime very slowly floating across space for 5 minutes straight with no dialogue at all... Except for the very end where he says, "I can't breathe".
  • A stream of Rata and Jimbles playing against each other on YGOPro culminated in an Ojama mirror match that must be seen (and heard!) to be believed. Highlights include:
    • The very beginning of the video has Rata surrendering on the first turn of a different duel because Jimbles played Ash Blossom, and then immediately realizing he could have stopped it with Called by the Grave.
    • Every instance of Angry Lime.
      Ojama Lime: What happens to him after this... Is no business of mine.
      Rata: No business of Lime.
      Ojama Lime: No business of Lime.
      (Pause.)
    • This exchange:
      Rata: Now I see, they're a horror movie.
    • Jimbles plays Ojama Country while Rata also has a copy of Ojama Country up... and doesn't realize that their ATK-changing effects cancel out until it's too late, leaving him with two 0 ATK monsters in attack position.
      Rata: (trying his hardest not to lose it) You know what happens to Ojama Country when it's matched up with another Ojama Country? It fucking sucks.
      Jimbles: Oh no... (breaking character) OH, NO! OH(wheeze laughing) What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck?
      Rata: Two minuses make a plus!
      Jimbles: I'm McFUCKING losing it!
    • Immediately after that, Rata makes a fuck-up of his own by using his Ojama Knight and Ojama Red — the only two Ojama monsters he has on his side of the field — to Link Summon another monster. However, because he just linked away his only Ojama monsters, Rata's Ojama Country no longer took effect, so Rata effectively gave Jimbles exactly what he wanted2 Ojama Kings with 3000 ATK each.
      Jimbles: (through laughter) You absolute fucking fool!
    • Rata perhaps sums it up best: "We're BOTH playing like Ojamas!"
  • Rata's "Reaction" video to the January 2020 TCG banlist, where he pokes fun at the trend of over-the-top banlist reaction videos by remaining completely stone faced and silent as he scrolls down the list, that is until the very end when he sees that Book of Moon is now unlimited.
    Rata: YO IS THAT TRIPLE BOOK OF MOON—
  • Brade, a 19 second long video that just consists of Rata slowly eating a loaf of bread while the video quality gets more and more distorted. It Makes Just As Much Sense In Context.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! April 2036 TOCG Banlist Analysis, a parody and deconstruction of not just banlist reaction videos in general, but observations on powercreep and how Konami handles Extra Deck summon balancing and new archetypes. Highlights include:
    • Elemental HERO Stratos being at "-2" on the banlist, which requires two people to stand behind you at all times to ensure that you do not have a copy in your deck.
    • The idea that in 15 years, Rata will STILL not be done with the HERO video is a horrifyingly funny one.
    • Pot of Greed back at 3, somewhat dampened by the fact that all archetypes now have a "draw 4 cards" effect somewhere.
    • "At the end of the day, come on, everything is a misplay. You ever actually sit down and read the rulebook? Technically, playing Artifacts should be illegal."
    • Konami banning all Tuner-related effects to allow players to run four copies of Crystron Halqifibrax in their Extra Decks.
    • The War Rock field spell and Jerry Beans Man being on the banlist despite their... Current status, implies something weird happened to the game's powercreep curve. The fact that we have no idea what it could be is what really makes it land.
    • Konami's hired team of scientists and mathematicians trying to create a new number to figure out just how many copies Malicious should be limited to.
    • Chuckle, Epic and Fury Summoning.
    • Konami's "response" to fans clamoring for an actually decent Reptile archetype:
      Rata: Eat shit, you spoiled little snakefuckers. I hope a viper bites down on your stupid tiny dick so hard that you die instantly and it looks like you got killed by a gay vampire.
    • "To wrap it up, Pendulums!" Which consists of a picture of Yuya Sakaki looking sad and Rata promptly bursting into laughter.
  • His video on the Top 10 Worst Blackwing Cards:
    • Rata describing 5Ds' monster designs as a "muscle fetish tragedy".
    • His succinct summary of how bad Blackboost is:
    Rata: Blackboost asks an important question. Would you break both your arms for $20? You can use those $20 to buy a nice stock photo of arms, so it's like you barely even lost anything!
  • Rata innocently tweeting IT'S MORBIN' TIME and inadvertently kicking off another wave of Memetic Mutation for an already memetic movie is funny enough on its own, but his reaction to the phenomenon over a month later is even funnier.
    Rata: I seem to have inadvertently started a cultural movement. Sorry
  • Rata's review of ULTRAKILL's first act:
    • The first line: "Wanna see a video game live up to its title?" followed by a short montage of hilariously violent explosions and demon deaths and a smash cut to the title screen.
    • When talking about the Hideous Mass, he also highlights a secret way to win the fight: a bar of soap, hidden away in a corner of the level. This instantly kills the Mass and a Mr. Clean jingle plays afterwards.
    • When fighting the Corpse of King Minos, there's a feature of the fight that leaves him completely awestruck (or, in his words, makes the fight go from cool to Mondo Cool):
      Rata: YOU CAN PARRY THE PUNCH!!
    • Rata applying a healthy amount of Nightmare Retardant to the game's first secret level, which starts with him describing Something Wicked as a "spooky stick man".
      Rata (While face-to-face with Something Wicked): I don't see what the big deal is. We have one of these at the local park.
    • His reaction to the sheer Mood Whiplash of Lust's secret level:
      Rata: Huh? Oh, this is pretty ominous. Shit, is this about a human survivor? Man, something's gonna happen... (the CG of Mirage appears) PFFFT AH I SEE, YES! IT'S ANIME SEX!
    • The long descent to the Superboss is silent but incredibly eerie, but Rata didn't want to break the atmosphere with a joke or commentary, so in the corner is he adds a Rat-A-Matic Distraction Cam for the squeamish.
    • It ends with a message to the developer, asking him to "never fix" a Good Bad Bug where several enemies are stuck in a loop of bouncing up and down while screaming.
  • During his stream of Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's: Wheelie Breakers:
    • He unlocks "Trap of Board Eraser", and searches it up to see what the actual card does. It's such an old card that the un-updated text still uses "his/her hand" instead of "their hand." Someone in chat jokes that it "doesn't affect nonbinary people." He also cracks up at the really silly artwork, featuring a demon kid getting pranked on by his peers, only that he's the only one in the room wearing clothes so Rata thinks that's the reason he's being pranked.
    • He goes into an aside over a moment in the anime where Jack's off to save Carly but Mina asks for him to spare a thought for her. In the Serbian dub of this scene, Jack says "who gives a shit about you?" which Rata can't stop laughing about.
    • The game was made during the early 5D's era and thus only features a small pool of characters and cards, the AI Trudge is seen summoning a Gonogo to the field. But as most monsters in the racing game are seen from behind, Rata (who completely forgot that card was a thing) briefly freaks out at the idea of a minor character somehow summoning The Wicked Avatar.
    • He also bursts out into a brief fit of giggles when the MC calls Yusei "The Indomitable Junk Rider." He then decides it's right, given how Yusei talks to Jack and Bruno.
  • While Rata was writing Support Report 2022 and making the "Shriveled Harpie Lady" joke, he encountered a "Decrepit Harpie Lady" that was the product of someone trying to fully emulate the Duelist Kingdom rules. It's a project that's been managed for almost a decade. So he and Jimbles gave it a go, leading to a truly bizarre gameplay experience.
    Rata: (looking at the ungodly Wall of Text on Time Magician) This is more like problem-causing card text.
    • As they outline how cards behave they note that you can play as certain anime characters and this gives you access to some exclusive cards. Every anime character in the Duelist Kingdom arc is included, even those with very limited duel screentime like Tristan and Mokuba, though they only get a tiny handful of cards to their name. Especially Tristan, who apparently only owns a single card (Cyber Commander).
      Rata: I wanna build a Tristan deck, so I'll have twenty Commanders! This is Commander format, in Yu-Gi-Oh!
      Jimbles: Damn it, you beat me to it! I'm so mad, I was diving for that joke!
    • The rules also have Grid Fields to emulate the one time the Paradox Brothers played with the monsters moving about a labyrinth. Rata and Jimbles start at "the grid is hypothetical" and they wisely choose not to bother.
    • Several cards were translated more directly than their TCG counterparts, so King of Yamimakai becomes Dark Supreme King of the Underworld, while Gokibore becomes Roach Ball, which gets Rata giggling.
    • While discussing the glorious mess that is the entire system around Castle of Dark Illusions, Rata eventually points out that Panik was running a deck based entirely on the honor system yet never tried to fudge values hidden from his opponents, meaning the "player killer" who tried to set Yugi on fire was actually one of the more fair-play duelists in the Kingdom arc.
    • For their third duel, they roleplay the Kaiba VS Pegasus duel... except Rata is actually playing the Kaiba impersonator Pegasus himself hired, who somehow beat Yugi and reached the finals instead of the real one. Hilarity ensues as Jimbles-as-Pegasus tries to pull off psychological attacks and take Mokuba hostage, on a guy who has no idea what he's talking about.
  • "Computer Time With Ojama Lime" sees Rata and Jimbles trying to get ChatGPT to set up a three-way duel between it, Rata and Ojama Lime. It already starts bad enough, with ChatGPT being massively insistent on following the rules to the exact letter despite opening the game by normal summoning a Dark Magician, but then Hilarity Ensues as the bot starts getting racist, claiming that YGO is a human-only game and that "a small green thing" lacks the sentience and capacity for reasoning required to play. Again, this is coming from an artificial text generator.
  • For April Fools' Day 2023, Rata made an Archetype Archive on Uno. You read that right, he reviewed every single Uno card as if it were part of an actual Yu-Gi-Oh! archetype, complete with accurate effect text (Except for Uno Wild Draw, which he just shortens because he admits that its actual effect would be too convoluted to read in full, which is accompanied by a fake proxy for the card dropping in accompanied by screaming).
  • Rata streams himself playing all three versions of the Power of Chaos games at once.
    • While he's preparing to launch all three games, in the background is a file named "hero video script" (for the anticipated HERO Archetype Archive but it's being put off due to the sheer size of the archetype). It eventually gets addressed... by Rata deciding to delve into the folder right next to it that has layers of layers of nested folders, culminating in a crudely drawn image of Bubbleman smirking over a drowning Clayman.
    • He compares the main menu music of the three games. Yugi the Destiny is majestic, but Kaiba the Revenge is an organ piece that makes him sound like a dastardly villain, and Joey the Passion is a funky hip-hop track that wouldn't sound out of place in The World Ends with You.
    • After Yugi takes his first turn, Rata riffs on the "Summon monster, Set backrow" opening play in the game's infancy... but much to his chagrin, it works, because his hand is filled with mediocre Normal Monsters that can't overpower Yugi's monster.
    • Rata cracks up at his opponents audibly flinching at taking a moderate amount of damage, or getting shocked at him using any Spell card.
    • He eats his words insulting Steel Ogre Grotto in the Jinzo video when he's using it to Tribute over a strong monster he's stolen.
    • During one game, Rata brings Joey to the brink of defeat, leading to an amusing sequence of scripted voice lines.
      Joey: Ahh! I'd better think of something quick, before I'm out of options!
      Joey takes his turn, and cues a summon cutscene
      Joey: I summon Panther Warrior! ...I end my turn!
    • He tells of an Urban Legend of Zelda around these games where you'd get the corresponding God Cards if you completed their game collections — Slifer for Yugi, Obelisk for Kaiba, and Ra for Joey. It didn't make a lot of sense for Ra to be tied to Joey, so young Rata started his own rumor, saying that you would randomly Duel Marik instead of Joey if your collection was almost complete, justifying this by the "possible side effects of playing the game" disclaimer on the package.
    • Yugi often summons Curse of Dragon to a lot of fanfare... but it's offset by the fact that it usually can't beat past a defender.
    • The 52-minute mark is the highlight of the stream — Kaiba Summons Blue-Eyes on him while Yugi is calling forth Exodia.
      Rata: Everyone's clowning on me at the same time! Jesus Christ! (Exodia obliterates him) BWAAAAAAARGH!
    • At the end of the video, Rata agrees to open the HERO script file, only for it to contain an ASCII drawing of Ojama Lime.
