#Dogmatika Fleurdelis the Knighted

[anthurak]

So I’ve finally read up/through the Abyss/Albaz/Branded/White Yu-Gi-Oh Card Lore series in preparation for the anime mini-series coming out in April.

And HOLY SHIT, it is so fucking FUNNY what they do with story ‘protagonist’, Fallen of Albaz.

Like on paper, Albaz looks like your pretty standard fantasy-hero-protagonist. A cool-looking, brooding dragon boy with amnesia who meets a cute girl and the pair go off on this big, grand adventure together.

Plus he’s got a really cool, special and very ‘main-character’ power in that he can transform into a number of awesome, badass dragon forms. Again, pretty standard ‘fantasy-hero’ with a sides of ‘self-insert power-fantasy’ stuff.

Except that in practice, this whole setup turns out to have a bit of a wrinkle in that Albaz just CANNOT win a fight to save his life. As in, this guy is just CONSTANTLY needing help from others to win fights, or just getting his shit wrecked.

Seriously, across all of the Abyss Lore we’ve gotten so far, EVERY fight Albaz is involved in has him getting/needing a powerup/help from friends and allies, and then getting a brutal ass-kicking.

Note that I didn’t use ‘or’ there. Because even with powerups from allies, Albaz still just CANNOT actually win a fight himself and is constantly getting his shit wrecked, generally smacked around, losing his girlfriend, and/or getting all his power stolen by his evil theater-kid clone/brother/possible ex-boyfriend.

It’s fucking HILARIOUS.

Like the only real, actual ‘win’ Albaz gets across the entire story is when he’s able to save his corrupted, mind-controlled girlfriend Ecclesia via their mutual bond and fusing into their new ultimate dragon form and go off to fight the final boss of the arc together. Which you know is actually legitimately pretty interesting, poignant and cute.

That for as much as Albaz might get smacked around and just generally can’t win ‘traditional’ fights, the actual victory that is truly his is when he SAVES someone he cares about.

It’s still REALLY fucking funny looking at it through the hypothetical lens of anyone going in hoping for some standard power-fantasy shonen-protag and getting someone who just constantly gets their ass handed to them.

In fact, it gets even funnier when considering anyone expecting Albaz to be some standard shonen-protag self-insert power-fantasy guy, because he’s also kind of being constantly upstaged by some seriously BADASS ladies in both plot relevance or just generally ‘doing awesome shit’.

For example, this is Fleurdelis, aka The Iris Swordsoul, the mentor and older-sister-figure of Ecclesia, the other main character of the story and Albaz’s partner.

This is her kicking Albaz’s ass in his first dragon form at the start of the story.

This is her utterly OBLITERATING a city-sized sandworm and also smacking Albaz around again in the crossfire. For reference, that little winged-guy in the lower left getting zapped by one of the smaller lightning bolts is Albaz in one of his dragon forms.

This is her and two of her buddies taking on the entire evil cult/religion that she and Ecclesia used to serve and 1v1ing the evil pope and utterly wrecking his shit. Though sadly it didn’t stick and she ended up getting captured, corrupted, mind-controlled and implanted with the 663 souls of her and Ecclesia’s predecessor ‘saints’ of this cult.

This is Fleur after overpowering that corruption and mind-control through sheer willpower and drive to protect her sister.

And then wresting control from all 663 of those souls and channeling their power along with her own in order to absolutely annihilate the evil pope in his new godlike, dimension-warping dragon form.

Yeah, Fleur is kind of the biggest badass in the entire setting XD

And this is Tri-brigade/Springans Kitt, who ends up being kind of the real hero of the story thanks to spending the entire B-plot of the narrative assembling and recruiting an army of various technology and explosive-possessing fae and mecha space gladiators and a shitload of magitek weaponry before showing up to save the day at the final battle.

So yeah, all in all Albaz actually feels like this fun little subversive take on the typical ‘fantasy-hero self-insert power-fantasy shonen-protagonist’ mold where the hero actually loses all the fights he takes on alone and has to get help from others and all the real victories are won through teamwork and the power of love and friendship and also there are some seriously badass ladies kicking ass.

And I am REALLY looking forward to seeing it all animated XD

The last cards I order finally arrived, so I thought I'd take a moment to share my completed Yu-Gi-Oh! deck. This is my

Theseus Toolbox V11

Named as such because this deck is seventeen years old. It's my old Utopia ZeXal Weapon deck I built back in high school, and I've just slowly replaced cards, chunks, and engines over the years until we've gotten to this point here. The Ship of Theseus and all that.

The previous version of the deck (V10.1.2) ran 3 Rescue Rabbit, 3 Magicalibra, and 2 Aqua Madoor, which were mainstays of the deck for a long time, but I finally dropped them, and since I dropped all the cards that required dupes, it allowed me to make a deck where every Monster is single-copy, which is something I've wanted to do for a while. It's probably my favorite version of the deck I've had for a few years. And to list off what's in it, we have:

(Main Deck) 1X Albaz the Ashen 1X Bystial Magnamhut 1X Carnot the Eternal Machine 1X Centur-Ion Atrii 1X Centur-Ion Gargoyle II 1X Centur-Ion Primera 1X Centur-Ion Trudea 1X Dark Hole Dragon 1X Diabellstar the Black Witch 1X Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous 1X Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous 1X Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous 1X Guiding Quem, the Virtuous 1X Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted 1X The Iris Swordsoul 1X Dogmatika Maximus 1X Dream Absorber 1X Summoner Monk 3X Dark Hole 1X Harpie's Feather Duster 3X Nadir Servant 1X Sinful Spoils Deception 1X That's 10! 1X Azamina Ofeiletis 1X Called by the Grave 1X Double or Nothing! 3X Emblema Oath 3X Spell Card "Monster Reborn" 1X WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils 1X Stand Up Centur-Ion! 1X You're Finished 1X Centur-Ion True Awakening

(Extra Deck) 1X Azamina Rhea Silvera 1X Garura, Wings of Resonant Life 1X Granguignol the Dusk Dragon 1X Titaniklad the Ash Dragon 1X Centur-Ion Legatia 1X Despian Luluwalilith 1X Draco Berserker of the Tenyi 1X Superheavy Samurai Brave Masurawo 1X Number 1: Infection Buzzking 1X Number 4: Stealth Kragen 1X Number 39: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy 1X Number 39: Utopia 1X Number 39: Utopia Double 1X Number 99: Utopia Dragonar 1X Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis

(Sideboard) 3X Mulcharmy Fuwaross 3X Mulcharmy Purulia 3X Triple Tactics Talent 1X Centur-Ion Primera Primus 1X Crimson Blader 1X Enigmaster Packbit 1X Abyss Dweller 1X Number S39: Utopia the Lightning 1X Tornado Dragon

Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted

“During your Main Phase, if a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck is on the field (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then, if you control another ‘Dogmatika’ monster, you can negate the effects of 1 face-up monster on the field, until the end of this turn. When your ‘Dogmatika’ monster declares an attack: You can make all ‘Dogmatika’ monsters you currently control gain 500 ATK. You can only use each effect of ‘Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted’ once per turn.”

Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted

[bradsmindbrain]

Ok, so in this world there’s these things called Holes, which are known to swallow things up, sometimes entire nations, but sometimes these Holes spit things out.

Which leads us to the nation of Dogmatika, a very thinly veiled Catholic Church stand-in.

Through the use of an artifact called the Nexus, their leader, Maximus is able to give people special brands, called Stigmatas, which grant people incredibly powerful abilities. They follow 666 commandments created by Maximus, and await for the induction of their 666th Saint for their Day of Gospel.

This generation has given them Saints 664 and 665, Fleurdelis the Knighted and Ecclesia the Virtuous.

(Fleur is a woman btw)

Other cast members here include Theo the Iron Punch, Adin the Enlightened, and Ashiyan, who’s basically the head of the nation’s police.

Now, as the name suggests, they are incredibly zealous in their beliefs, many of their commandments forbid walking in front of Maximus, looking at Maximus, touching Maximus, pointing at Maximus, refusing a blessing from Maximus, speak Maximus’s name, or turn their backs on his teachings. It also has extremely harsh punishments for heretics.

Initially, it seems like a normal day for Fleur and Ecclesia, who are basically sisters, and have known each other for about 10 years since Ecclesia was chosen as Fleur’s squire.

Things get out of hand when a Hole opens above the nation, and something comes barreling out of it.

They go to confront it, and encounter Titaniklad the Ash Dragon, which had absorbed some of the Nexus’s power.

With a single blow, Fleurdelis sends Titaniklad crashing down to the ground below, where Ecclesia rushes to finish it off.

But when she gets there, Titaniklad is nowhere to be seen, and in its place is a boy around her age…

I’m Begging Y’all to Ask me About the Abyss Lore, you Don’t Even Need to Know Anything About Yu-Gi-Oh! For it
