charmer's familiar people?

First we have Gagagigo, Eria's familiar that appear long time ago

Now in Cosmo Blazer, Inari fox appear

Does this means that Charmer's Familiar will arise along with themself????

P.S: I know its out-of-date, have been out of Yugioh's world for one year

There's a likely possibility it'll happen. It'll probably take many packs to do so, but they may end up all being released separately. Personally, I would love to see Wynn's dragon as a separate card with some broken ability  but I have a feeling that the next one to be made would be Aussa's Archfiend Marmot.

However, remember that Inari Fire is NOT the same fox as FP Hiita's familiar. Inari Fire has a beard and looks at most related to Fox Fire. In the same way that for a long time we thought that Winda, Priestess of Gusto was the same character as Wynn the Wind Charmer, but they later revealed that they were sisters, not the same person.

Still a big yes for me anyway, thought I'd like to see Meda Bat's next stage form, along with Lyna's new form, always save me in my Ally of Justice deck, she's my favorite card along with Catastor and the famous Core Destroyer

I made a thread about Lyna's new form speculation. You can reply to it here if you'd like:

And adding the the evolved familiars: Obese Marmot of Nefariousness, looks like something happened to Marmot like Gigobyte and Petit Dragon (through whom's lore we know eventually became a part of the five-headed dragon)
Wonder if all the familiars are going to have an evil form...

Nice try, but I don't think this is even Archfiend Marmot, much less his Familiar-Possessed form. This is more akin to the large amount of clones they made back when the game first started (example: Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 vs. Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #2, or Wynn could use the example Pale Beast vs. Synchar XD). Usually while they may be related they're not the same character.

Still, I suppose if you want, you could say that Marmot was nibbling on too many acorns one day...

I never said it was it's familiar possessed form. Gigobyte has five different versions of himself up to Gagagigo The Risen. I think Obese Marmot is one of those extra forms.

In the first place, if you read Gagagigo's card description - 'This young evildoer used to have an evil heart, but by meeting a special person, he discovered justice.' - it sounds as though Gagagigo actually came before Gigobyte, and when he came in contact with Eria, was purified down to Gigobyte, and later reconstructed his body into Giga Gagigigo, which became Gogiga, and finally became The Risen.

Obese Marmot could just be one of the steps Marmot takes in a very similar journey.

If that logic applied to Petit Dragon and Happy Lover that means they're the same monster as Fairy Dragon and Tenderness, which I think they're just merely clones of older cards in early YGO.

Also, fun fact:
Obese Marmot's original name (OCG) is Evil Rat. While Archfiend Marmot is Demon Beaver. Archfiend Marmot's TCG name in early YGO video games is Air Marmot of Nefariousness, but since all OCG cards that have "Demon" in their name is treated as Archfiend in TCG, when Marmot released in TCG they named it Archfiend Marmot instead.

If Obese Marmot is really Archfiend Marmot, the thing that comes to my mind is, it's Marmot that corrupted into it's evil form, since its OCG name is Evil Rat. Though my opinion about this is same like Hippocampus. We have a lot of card clones back then, most of them are just color swap with similar monster in different poses.

I wonder when FP Lyna appear XD

Well Gagagigo's story is pretty much set in stone though. Because he's depicted in so many card artworks, we know everything that happened to him. Unfortunately, the special person he meets is actually Marauding Captain, which occurs after he leaves Eria. While the story you posed is indeed imaginative, it contradicts with so much accepted canon. Take a look at this, for example. It shows Gagagigo being tested on by Kozaky, who then powers him up to become Giga Gagagigo. Eria finding him after this wouldn't make sense.

Obese Marmot could very well be another form of Archfiend Marmot in some journey. But unfortunately there's no proof of this. Here's something I did find though: the only other card art in which Marmot is featured in is this one, which... is very curious, to say the least. I wish dimensions were actually well-defined in the Spirit World
But we do know that this event occurred before him meeting Aussa, since he's not FP-form yet. So maybe his progression is Obese --> Archfiend --> FP-Form, and he loses his evilness when he returns from another dimension?
Dammit I wanna write a fanfic about this now

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Petit Dragon and Fairy Dragon look nothing alike...? I mean, the wikia page says they're alternate forms, but I don't see much of a resemblance at all there. At least the marmots look similar, and so do Happy Lover and Tenderness.

Lol I remember that! My Eternal Duelist Soul GBA game has the card named Air Marmot instead of Archfiend Marmot. It made so much more sense since, you know, it has wings XD

But yeah, there were a lot of monsters on that game that were OCG only at the time. Many of them that were imported later have altered names or descriptions, such as "Oscillo Hero #2" in OCG being converted to "Wattkid" in TCG. -_-

This is the biggest question on everyone's mind

Yes they are, you can analyze again their card art, also here's Fairy Dragon and Petit Dragon's appearance in Duelists of the Roses:





Only thing that makes them different is their color.

Oscillo Hero #2 was never the OCG card name, but the TCG card name before it got errata'd because of being a Watt monster.

Which quite frankly, the current name is far closer to the original OCG name (Elekids) than Oscillo Hero #2 ever was.

Oh wow, they do look exactly alike in those pics! That's really interesting.

Elekids!


...And this I just don't understand. Why does it need to be a Watt monster? It does nothing for the archetype. At least Archfiends were older, and the fix was in Marmot's first printing.

Also I believe there were was some pseudo-OTK involving Marmot and Falling Down or something.

[quote="Hippocampus"]While the story you posed is indeed imaginative, it contradicts with so much accepted canon.[/quote]Ah, I see. I'm not paying that much attention to the canon, so I didn't realize all the details of the story. I knew Gagagigo's story was greatly expanded into already, but wasn't aware of how much.

Hippocampus wrote:

Because it was always a Watt monster (エレキッズ) ever since the archetype was first introduced? So it had its name changed to reflect that?

I don't get why this is something terribly hard to comprehend.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Gagagigo is the most expanded-into monster in the whole game. An older user put a good summary in this thread. Even though Runo has told me he's not the most reliable of sources, the Gagagigo story doesn't really contradict anything I remember (except for maybe the Eisbahn bit at the end).

I understand why, I just don't like how they're always changing card names left and right. Pidgeonholding Books of Spell to Spellbook Organization was another one I thought was kinda stupid. At least with Summoned Skull, Beast of Talwar, Shadow Tamer, etc., they didn't actually change their names.

You're not seriously complaining about inherent problems with localization, are you?

ps original name was awful, good riddance

and they were also rereleased in the same set that was just recently released.

Granted this could be the way they do things from now on (likely to avoid having to deal with dumb "can run 3 of each because names are different even though art/effect/etc is exactly the same" players), but still

Yeah I guess you're right. Although it's not localization so much as lack of foresight (or censorship in the case of Demons/Archfiends lol). I do think that one of the biggest problems with the name changes is that noobs and/or cheaters will treat them as separate cards. Of course this doesn't stop them from abusing errata'd text either (I still play with 1st Edition Curse of Royal, which says it can negate ANY card, not just Spell/Trap XD), and it actually is better off to try it this way than to justify running 6 of the same useless vanilla, but you get my point.
But you know, apparently TCG and OCG are different games now. Apparently.

And what's wrong with Pidgeonholding? You expect there to be a pidgeon?

Hippocampus wrote:

But its entirely a problem in localization, and no amount of foresight could ever fix it. Simply because the problem has to do entirely with the Japanese and Western writing systems being vastly different. So unless America suddenly makes Japanese their native language and Konami USA just starts directly importing OCG cards over here, this will always be a problem.

They've always been weirdly different with different rulings and etc. Which honestly, this just needs to stop. Make a ruling and have it be effective for ALL territories, not just the territory the ruling was made.

Pretty sure you have the name wrong there.

Also what's wrong is its bad.

You mean, don't make up rules, Konami USA? I'll buy that.

Lol I guess that's how I memorized it when it first came out. "Holding" rolls off the tongue better than "holing" imo XD

Anyway... I'm pretty sure we've derailed this thread... so back to talking about marmots, anyone?
