Neo-Spacian - Failed Cards n Mechanics

The Neo-Spacians are a very strange archetype originating from the GX era of the Yugioh anime. It centers around 6 low level monsters and their various fusions with Elemental HERO Neos, and they’re just awful, for a whole host of complicated reasons. The exact reasons and ways that this archetype fails are as num~erous as they are interesting, so today, we’re going to take a while going over the Neo-Spacian monsters and their various themes and discuss why they never translated into a competitive strategy, as well as the surprising number of times specific cards from the archetype actually have seen play.

NO DUELLOG DONT SHOW THAT ONE

For those wondering why the Neos Fusions had to shuffle themselves back to the Extra Deck: it's because Elemental HERO Neos is based around Ultraman.
Ultraman's known weakness is that he can’t stay on Earth for more than 3 minutes due to its atmosphere filtering out Solar Energy, which is what Ultraman needs.

Ah yes, the Level Four vanilla Neos

an archetype so bad that konami hasnt bothered making retrains despite belonging to a protagonist

I’ve always found it deeply ironic that the very archetype that saves the protagonist is also one of the worst archetypes ever created

Reminder that Glow Moss destroyed Winged Dragon of Ra

I’m not sure whether this counts as a fun fact, but I’ve always felt that there’s a deliberate reason why Neo-Spacian Dark Panther has the highest original ATK while Neo-Spacian Glow Moss has the lowest among all Neo-Spacians. They debuted during the arc where the Light of Destruction is the main antagonist, so it feels symbolic: the LIGHT-attribute Neo-Spacian is intentionally weakened, while the DARK-attribute one is emphasized as stronger, reflecting the narrative goal of overcoming the light. In that sense, Dark Panther’s unusually high original ATK may even foreshadow the idea that the true final antagonist is Darkness itself.

13:31 Funnily enough, Dark Neos is the only Neos Fusion Monster that can "Stay" without Neos Space because you can just simply negate his own effect so you can't activate the shuffling effect during the end phase. It basically makes Dark Neos a Normal E Hero Neos

You forgot about Elemental Hero Storm Neos

Finally a video that talks about Nex that actually brings up that Marine Dolphin also makes an upgraded Neos Fusion

Ravedactyl will always be my favorite neo spacian

2:15 i would appreciate if you add that black panther was playable during Dark Armed Dragon(Tele-Dad format) to copy the Dark Armed Dragon of the opponent. It wasnt a absolute staple but the niche was nice

3:03 even the opponent has 5 set backrow cards, that is the position you don't want to face, cause opponent has 5 cards to respond to any play you do, which could be solemn judgement, phoenix wing wing blast, sakuretsu armor, book of moon and etc.

Air Neos has had its first sighting since like 2011 🙃

9:22 huh? This is a level who?

@ZeroHero3d 9 months ago

Ah, Neo-Spacians. The first quintessential example of a protagonist deck that only works in magical anime land where perfect consistency exists in hands of the writers.

On that note, who was that red Neos guy? Seems familiar but I've never heard of him before.

Have you checked the mechanic in the rush duel version they added half the new spacien and made the contact fusion a Maine mechanic and they doesn't return to the extra at the end phase
