This lore alone could make an amazing anime it would be very cool to see

as long as my boy big Gabonga survives I am ok

Bro, you snapped! Great job compiling all the myths and legends and linking them into the lore.

I really hope that Yu-Gi-Oh! keeps creating stories like these. Terminal World, World Legacy, the Abyss, Visas Starfrost, and the Sinful Spoils were incredibly detailed and rich with lore.

THIS is why i play yugioh.

Yugioh single handedly has brought me to so many religions, stories, legends, myths, conspiracies, and more. 🎉

This is perfect 👍
And thank you from one super geek to another

The mix of real world lore and different tropes makes this one of the best new stories so far in modern YGO. I hope that eventually it also gets a promo like the Albaz's lore Complete File: Story of White!

They also somehow mimic Vergil and Dante in DMC regarding their decisions. Dante relies on his humanity and his trust in others in order to succeed, while Vergil will do anything in order to become strong enough to win. Dante and Diabellstar use weaponized Sinful Spoils but are not corrupted by it, while Vergil and Diabellstar both ate the forbidden fruit (Qlipoth and Azamina) in order to become more powerful.

Interested to see where this story goes!

Small correction: Erisychtion (or however he‘s spelled) was already defeated by Diabellstar and the Goblins. If you look closely at the art of Goblin Bikers gone wild, the goblins on top of the wild beast carry the Ax, the helmet and the flame of said Azamina, indicating that they already defeated it

I freaking love this lore, White Forest to Snake-Eyes to Azamina is so good

Love all the name origins you went into. “Diabellestar” also incorporates the word “Diablo” which means “Devil/demon” in Spanish.
A literal translation of her name would be “Beautiful Demon Star”

Lore is so cool that now i gotta start playing white forest as a main deck

Ive. played YGO since it broke into america! ive only had 3 major loves for archtypes DMG (of course), Gravekeeper, and now The White Forest Saga. Ive been playing the deck and I love it. I didnt realize the artwork was so in depth. I'd love to have prints of these.

Great storytelling. Fantastic work man! it'ss appreciated from a fan. Originally I thought this was a twist on the snow white story but this was way more intense and complex than I'd imagined

Shit man I never even noticed that Damned dragon was a fusion.

What I think happened in the white forest stuff is Susurrus happening first, with Elzette wanting to eat the apple, but Astellar telling her that they should take it to their master/teacher/mother figure, Diabell.

Diabell is a being in constant self-conflict, holding the power of good and evil, constantly trying to keep the power of the Azamina demons contained within the White Forest so that they don’t spread to the rest of the world, but she didn’t exactly know just how bad the spread of Azamina influence was until she took a bite of the apple, hoping it would have an answer of some kind, but nahhh. Demon possession time!

Astellar flees, but with Diabell losing control of herself, the Azamina demons are released all at once. With the most powerful one taking Diabell’s body, Silvy and Rucia are quickly conquered as well, as without physical forms, the only way Azamina demons can interact with the physical world is through the bodies of others.

For a time, Elzette is taken over by an Azamina demon, and during that time, the demon kills Morrian, Elzette desperately trying to stop the demon from killing someone she for some reason cared about. And in sinful spoils awakening, Elzette’s sheer grief purges herself of the Azamina demon, not that it minded now that there was a fresh, more powerful corpse to possess. Becoming Azamina Moa Regina as Elzette fled, the white forest becoming demon turf for the time being.

Azamina Sol Eryschithon doesn’t make a lot of sense to me because the other Azamina demons need a body to possess, but he just doesn’t? He takes the appearance of some kind of armor, so after Poplar consumed crazy beast, maybe the rusty, half-digested remains of the armor were what was possessed? Idk.

As for Azamina Debtors, I believe that it happens immediately after grand breakout and grand crisis, while the goblin bikers all have to work together to defeat Sol Erischython, Diabellstar is left to fight the possessed bodies of her mentors, Ilia Silvia and Mu Rcleiago, she eventually wins and teams up with the goblin bikers because she has a serious sense of urgency about what happened with Diabellze and KNOWS where she’s going with Poplar.

Diabellze does battle with Moa Regina, wins off-screen, into unleashing, she merges with Poplar and the Azamina Queen reveals her true form, St. Azamina.

Did.. this just get me back into Yugioh? After not playing it since the battle city era? I kinda want to run these cards 😭 they're so cool

This is incredibly beautiful. I enjoyed this lore video a lot, this has a greater story than some real anime lol

This is phenomenal bro, ive watched this multiple times. Hands down one of the best yugioh lore videos on youtube. I hope you continue covering the diabellstar lore as more cards come out. Thanks for this!!

I think moa Regina was able to save Elzette by sacrificing herself to the azamina. Diabellze was crying but also bonded with sinful spoil Morrian

If i remembered reading the Azamina are the soulless bodies of the white forest members that are animated by the hallowed azamina but the souls of the white forest are thought to survive in the form of the sinful spoils that Diabellstar and Diabellze has. If so, Rucia, Silvy and Regina has always protected the two sisters even after losing their bodies.

You just earned yourself a new subscriber. Lore video was fire.

Damn, this was amazing! I just found this, never knew there was so much lore behind all this. Wonderful work, great job!

WOW. Phenomenal video man!!

I love hearing someone explain the connection between ygo archetypes but holy hell brother this has to be one of the best I've seen for a breakdown of both the archetypal connections to each other, but also their origins to actual mythology and legends. Phenomenal job. Can't wait to see more from you ❤ subbed so I'm here for the ride.
