Wolfox Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Today I learned that Neos was not the first idea for Judai's final Boss Monster. No, in fact, it was gonna be this guy: Honestly, I don't even know what to say about this. Yes, it's just a big beater that just gets bigger and burns your opponent, but that by itself is better than all but one Neos card (Rainbow neos btw). It also helps that Flare Wingman was Judai's favorite card (and at the end might still be). As for why they decided that this wasn't good enough... I can think of a big 0 reasons. While being outshined (pun intended) by other E-Heroes, for it's time this was a damn good Boss Monster for Judai's deck (even if it also gets outshined by its counterpart, Shining Fenix Enforcer) mainly due to the fact that you're not gonna get past this without spot removal, and that wasn't too common yet iirc. So, what do you all think? Do you know the reason for this that led to the mistake of the Neos archetype? Which do you think fits Judai's deck better as an ace?

FairFamily Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think they introduced neos as a 2500 vanilla that the main character could use. Basically they wanted a dark magician for Jaden with all the cool specific neos spells. The neo spacians followed this theme since all contact fusions are just different forms of neos. Also for some reason the anime especially gx had this obsession with merged archetypes : (cyber angels with the cyber females, cyber dragons + cyberdarks, roids+cyber dragons+cyberdarks, ojama+armed dragon+vwxyz) on their main cast. I do think that shining flare wingman would have been the better ace. I think it would be a cool reference to the childishness he had. Flame wingman was his favorite and he would never stop playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think what I dislike about Neos most is that even in season 4 those cards just feel shoehorned into Judai's deck. like, he has a perrfectly fine Hero deck, and the NEOS! It also (to me at least) feels way to off in the series. Like, imagin Yusei's Stardust being a Ritual Monster. or Yusaku's a Synchro. 0 synergy with the rest but it's okay cuz it's a spiritual succesor (not like Shing Flare couldn;t have done that.)
