I swear my right wall isn't overrun with fungi. This place has a weird paint job that looks way worse on video than it does IRL. Don't worry, if I do eventually get a fungus infestation at my place I'll make sure to film a Naturia skit around it.

[shapesnatch]

I think the weakest part of the Jinzo archetype is that the original Jinzo just does the job better than the rest of the archetype. Just shuts down all Trap. All the retrains just never recapture the simplicity and effectiveness

6:23 the gx Jinzo duels ending is hillarious to me cause instead of Jaiden having some situational Hero card to counter Jinzos Call of the Haunted he just fucking Solemn Judgements that shit

[Sean_Bird]

Jinzo is not what I expected to see next. At least we’ll be safe from those Houses of Adhesive Tape.

[randomprotag]

the jinzo snatch steal loop is my favorite one. the idea of jinzo walking back and forth endlessly is funnier than the numerous pole position loops

[StevetheWizard]

Knowing what's known about the localization team circa Jinzo's release, we should count ourselves lucky he didn't get named "Arty", short for "Artificial".

[snowboundwhale]

I'm so glad you went off about the "Grotto" names because that's a tangent I used to think about a lot as a child.
I do think the Psychic Megacyber's effect to turn monsters into traps would be an interesting way to take future support; It incapacitates monsters, sets up face-up traps for the Jinzo variants that want those, and could eventually clog the backrow, thus preventing spell activations without needing a direct "spell hate" effect.

Hearing Lime has a degree in sociology finally connected all the pieces I needed to under him

[adambass]

Ah Jinzo, one of my favorite cards ever printed……and one of the most awkward archetypes ever.

Thank god they didn’t go down the “Jinzo, cyborg with Red-Eyes” route with this thing.

[dadocta]

If Jinzo was released during 5Ds, he would undoubtedly be psychic type.

[sator]

Rata remembered that he has a channel, time to binge archetype archive again

[Veryfreshveryflourish]

Jinzo gives of the "working out in the library energy"

[Mernom]

The ending skit implies that Ojama Lime knows how to write.
By Ojama standards, that indeed makes him a (self) certified genius.

[Darkflo]

The fact that a factory error made Jinzo 6 stars instead of 7 made the card a fan favorite and is even referanced in The Machine Menace effect is so funny to me.

[TheKpa]

In the anime they had Jinzo crossing his arms for his standing position so I wondered why the original card art didn’t having Jinzo crossing his arms to reflect that.

I think it's time Konami gave the fans what they want and finally make "Ogre Grotto" into an official archetype

[dylanbuchanan]

Jinzo having an identity crisis of not knowing where he belongs at 7:20 is definitely comedic genius. Bravo, Rata. Bravo

[MorePower]

4:40 agreed.
Jinzo - Lord feels like Konami realizing that “burn your opponent based on X thing” could be abused, then forgetting that and printing Blaze Fenix a year later.

[zyxaqc]

Imagine if they gave this archetype a field spell that treats all face-up backrow as trap cards as long as you control a "Jinzo" monster.

[JohnDayguy]

I remember being scared af as a kid when this guy appeared anywhere. The fact he just looks you directly, while having this appearance, was too much for younger me

Also man, I miss the early horror aspects of yugioh. Nowdays its just waifus, dragons, and the occasional gun.
