 What in the world is going on with the Yu-Gi-Oh! 25th Anniversary? What's up guys, we're back with another epic video. At least I think it is. I guess we'll have to find out what you guys think about the 25th Anniversary announcements. But there has been a lot of 25th Anniversary coverage. I haven't covered any of it on the channel. Talked about it a little bit on Twitch, but that's about it. So let's just go through everything, the timeline of the 25th Anniversary, which is this current year. There's been a ton of 25th Anniversary stuff that I was not expecting to happen. So originally I thought the 25th Anniversary for Yu-Gi-Oh! would just be the legendary collection release, which we kind of heard about a while back. I think it was about six months ago. I can't keep track exactly when that release was, but it turns out there was a lot more than that. It feels like almost every set has had something to do with the 25th Anniversary. So if we look here, Maze of Memories had the 25th Anniversary logo. That was the only thing it had to do with. So I was like, okay, maybe they're gonna put the 25th Anniversary logo on everything this year. That's no big deal, you know, whatever. I mean, doesn't really change anything. It's just part of the artwork and the pack. That was a trick. They're doing a lot more than that. So then we go to the 25th Anniversary, which we have talked about a couple of times. So obviously this contains the 25th Anniversary rarity, aka the quarter century secret rare version, which there's only six of these and they appear to be promos because these are the six cards. And if these look familiar, we've talked about this before, but these are the six cards that you get in a promo pack of a legendary collection one. So it feels like you're gonna get one of these with your normal promos in your legendary collections, which I mean, to me it's like, that's kind of cool, but it's also a little bit boring. The six that we've been waiting for, you know, oh, what are the big quarter century rarities? Oh, it's the exact same promos as before, except they're in fake starlight rare, which may or may not be a good thing. If it's fake starlight rare, we need to talk about if you guys even like that or not. Do you like quarter century rarity? You think it's cool that it's a starlight with a stamp on it? I don't know. That's a question we have to answer in this video as well. That was what I thought everything was gonna be for the 25th Anniversary, but since then we've had tons of different little leaks and announcements and just stuff on the website for Konami that really changed my opinion of like, oh wow, they're actually gonna be doing more than this. So the next release that we see quarter century's in is Battles of Legend Monster Survenge, but they have moved back to a June release date. Like recently we've been doing it towards the end of the year for the Battles of Legends plus Brothers of Legends stuff, but it seems like this is gonna be coming out in June. And if you take a look at the text here, first of all, there's a lot of cool cards coming out, Dark Mission, Dragon Knight of Magic or whatever it's called, Dark Arm Nios, Assault Synchron, you know, a bunch of cool stuff in there. But if you get down to the bottom where it breaks down all the rarities, 40 secret rares, 62 ultra rares, more than 20 cards in the set also available as quarter century's secret rares. So this is pretty wild because that means 20 cards are gonna be quarter century's secret rares. So first we have quarter century's secret rares as promos, they look like star lights, but you get them in every box. So it's like a much different rarity. You know, one is like one in 25 boxes, one is one in every box, you know, a big, big difference there. So that's interesting. And then now you have them in the set, it appears. So you can open the packs and now pull them. So there are promos in one like product. And then now they are like pullable and another product, but there's 20 of them. So are they gonna be like one in every box? So they're gonna be like one in every, if they're one in every case, it's gonna be a possible to pull all of them. I mean, that's gonna be an insane amount of different like starlight rares. I also noticed they don't mention star lights here, but I checked on Darkwing Blast, another starlight set. They don't actually mention star lights either. So just because they don't say star lights here doesn't mean there's also not star lights. But I would be surprised if they had quarter century secrets which looked like star lights and then actual star lights, which also look like star lights. So I find this really interesting. I'm kind of excited about this. I think being able to pull them is really cool. I wish they were all pullable and not promos. I think being promos, especially of cards that we already have like a bunch of card like versions of them, like do we really need any more of these versions of the cards? Like this is the artwork people don't like. Artwork people don't like even I think it's cool. I mean, I think all of these are cool, but they're like the least favorite artwork of all these monsters. I mean, the God cards. I mean, we have the secret fairs where all that stuff, they could use star lights. I mean, that would be cool. I guess these are like the best options for the quarter century, but they're still like every pack, they're not gonna be worth a lot. It kind of reminds me of when they put ultimate rares in the 10, the Z10s for a little bit. And those cards are worth like 20 cents for an ultimate rare. They're like the cheapest ultimate rares on the planet. The big difference between this and that is obviously that God cards and blue eyes are like big cards and like the Z10 ultimate rares were not really, they were gaga-ga stuff. So which is like kind of, you know, niche-y like if you like gaga-ga or not. So that is a big difference. And also star light rare is a little bit different than ultimate rare. I think it can fit any card, but ultimate rare it just kind of depends on the artwork in my opinion, but a lot of people think it could fit anything, but that's just what I think about it. So very interesting, like what's happening here. So that's not it, by the way, there's still more stuff. Then we go on to the Duelist Nexus, which comes out in July. So the July Duelist Nexus set, first of all, they all have 25th on there. This one doesn't mention star lights, which this was a point before I realized that none of them mentioned star lights. This doesn't mean that there's no star lights. Does it say that there's quarter century? Yeah, 25 cards will be available for those quarter century secretaries, which is interesting because they put it up here instead of down here, like on the other one, but 25 cards, so to represent 25. So maybe that means there's 25 in the last set. Last time they said over 20, this one they say exactly 25 to represent 25 years. At this point, I feel like almost every card is gonna have a star light rarity. When you're doing 25 cards per set, it's gonna be insane, which this is kind of cool if you're like blinging out a deck and you want like the highest rarity, you got a bunch of really shiny cards. This will be really cool for that. But also then you're looking at how much it dilutes the star light market because right now there's not a lot of star lights out there. There's like four or five per core set for the last like four years, but now we're gonna have 25 per set. It's gonna be insane and not even core sets. Like the battles of legend, monsters, revenge or whatever it's called is not a core set and that has 20 plus of them in there. So I don't really know what to think about this. I'm assuming if you have 25 of the quarter century secretaries, there's not gonna be a regular star light in here. I mean, that would just be too much. So it looks like this set is gonna be a 25th anniversary special with only 25th anniversary quarter century secretaries or whatever they're called. That is a mouthful to say, but that's another thing. And then we finally have the most recent leaks. So we have a post by Yu-Gi-Oh organization that the 25th anniversary tin. So the big tins every year, the ones that everybody wants to see have come out. They're called the dueling heroes. So we kind of completed the set of 2020 through 2022. We have the matching tin artworks. They finished that. So now they've moved on. It looks like to a different one. We don't have a picture or an image or anything of what these are gonna look like yet, but we do have a lot of info about these. Probably the most we've had about anything. So originally they had this picture that was making people really confused. They thought they were getting some crazy old stuff, but no, that was just nothing. So celebrating the 25th anniversary with a double prismatic secret rare. So this year we have not only one prismatic secret rare, which by the way, a prismatic secret rare is the normal mega tin secret rare. So that is like the, like I would call it parallel secret or whatever, but the secret goes up and down kind of like a tic-tac-toe word. That's the normal thing we get, but we get one per tin. This year we're getting two per tin. This cost some confusion since they could said six tin's are the only place to find this exclusive and beautiful rarity that made people like, what, what does that mean? Yeah, that's just the normal thing that we get every year, but they're getting twice as many per tin. So you're getting two of those. I skipped over the important part. They're featuring double and then also a bonus, bonus, listen to that word, quarter century secret rare. So it's another promo. I think this is extremely awesome and also extremely questionable at the same time. First of all, it's very awesome because this seems like it's gonna be a promo. The 2019 promos were like the biggest thing ever. Like they were awesome. Everybody loved the promos from the 10s. They're bringing them back at seams. That's what bonus quarter century secret rare means. I assume that's what a promo is. It's a bonus. But also we're back to these are like, it's so good. So the rarity, it's confusing. What, is this a rarer rarity or is it not? So in the 25th anniversary and in this tin, we're getting them for free every single time we buy one. And then in our side sets and core sets, we have to pull them. And there's like 20 different versions. So it's impossible to get the one you want. So this rarity is the weirdest rarity ever. It's like if you had a common where in one pack, you get it every time. And then in another pack, you couldn't pull the common except if you open a case or something. So it's like, yeah, or a ghost rare. Like a ghost rare, you get every pack like Gold Series Haunted Mine. I guess like, oh, I guess that kind of works out like that. But the difference with Gold Series Haunted Mine is they only did one set of that. And when they first came out, they were dirt cheap. People didn't care about them. They're like, ah, you get them every time. Who cares? And there was only like six or seven different ones. And this starts like, you know, a million different ones. So I don't know how this is going to play out. It's really weird. Like you're getting a promo in some of them and some it's like pullable. And then I'm sure we're going to get some reprints of like starlights. So we know Zeus is going to get a starlight. So that's like a reprint of the starlight with like a stamp on it. I mean, it's basically the same thing, but it's not. So it looks exactly the same, but it costs way less. So I'm sure there's going to be an overlap of some of the current starlights. Like, I mean, Apollosa, IP Masquerain, are they going to get reprints? And then we're going to have to differentiate every time if it's the 25th or not. I don't know. I don't, how do you guys feel about this? Cause I feel like a lot of people are upset about it, like really diluting the starlight rarity. And some people were like, who cares, dude, shiny cardboard. So I need to know your opinion in the comments. I'm so confused. There's so many different things coming out for the 25th anniversary. It feels like every week there's a new release of some sort of leak about 25th anniversary rarities or a new set containing them. Or they have 45 different secret rares in them where they're giving out promos again. I don't know what to do. This is the craziest news all year. We've got the 25th anniversary coming out in a couple of weeks. This is going to be insane. Wow. I don't know what to do. I had to make a video cause there's been so many different things come out and we haven't talked about it. Let me know in the comments how you feel about it.
