Exodia the Forbidden One is a series of cards first released in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon and were the first ever cards to permit an automatic win rather than to reduce your opponent's Life Points to 0. The main card, Exodia the Forbidden One (Often called Exodia's Head) is also one of the first ever 5 effect monsters to be released. They are perhaps some of the most iconic cards of the series, being well known for their Automatic Win effect and how, in the anime, Yugi was the first ever person to summon Exodia (and in the first episode). While many people simply refer to these cards as "Exodia" cards, only the head of Exodia actually contains the name, the other pieces are called "Forbidden One" in any card effect that refers to them.

While the original set of Exodia was extremely hard to obtain (all five pieces were Ultra Rare), they have since been reprinted in lesser rarities, with a common practice to only print the head of Exodia as an ultra rare and the remaining limbs as commons, making the set much easier to obtain. While the Exodia deck was perhaps one of the first decktypes, it still remains a popular one, being supported through several new cards (specifically, new draw engines and draw loops).

While Exodia's primary purpose is to declare an automatic win through having all five pieces, there have been other methods to using Exodia. The first of these was Exodia Necross, which is considered to be a zombie version of Exodia, and possessing the near-invulnerability of the Anime Exodia (in the anime, it is said that Exodia, once summoned, is unstoppable). The next such incarnation was Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord, which provided an alternate method of winning with Exodia.

Main Cards

If you have all five genitals of the Forbidden Slut in your hand you automatically fuck the card. By the way, if you even have these cards in your deck, your probably a lonely child pedofile. Ex: (Billyboi11(765): Bid- $875389679677 for: The Forbidden Slut Set.) :D Have a nice RAPE.

Other Cards

There are also the Exodia Necross cards:

"Exxod, Master of The Guard" and "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" are also considered Exodia cards.

Exodia is the only monster that wins the duel automatically without having to use a dangerous special effect like "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" or "Last Turn".

Notably, Exodia was the only monster ever specifically mentioned in the rulebooks, even having the rule that should the five pieces be in your hand at any time you win the duel. This was, however, prior to other cards being released with effects that declared an automatic win. Exodia has since been removed from the rulebooks, as the effects written on the head are sufficient enough.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Exodia is used by two separate duelists. First the Yubel-possessed Marcel uses an Exodia deck, which he discards after obtaining the three Sacred Beasts. He gives the five Exodia pieces to Adrian Gecko as part of a deal.

Later, after Jaden Yuki is released from being the Supreme King, Adrian discovers the seal of Exodia and realizes he must sacrifice the Duel Energy of someone close to him in order to free Exodia. He decides to sacrifice Echo, whom he loved, but he was opposed by Aster Phoenix. The two duel and Aster is able to block Adrian's Exodia cards using a card to limit the number of cards in each player's hand to four.

However, Adrian is able to make a comeback with "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord". Echo willingly sacrifices herself to release Exodia and despite Aster coming close to victory, Adrian is able to summon Exodia using Exodius's automatic victory rule and Aster is defeated.

Adrian uses his Exodia deck against the Yubel-possessed Jesse Anderson, but is defeated when Jesse plays Yubel and Echo, whose spirit remains a part of Adrian's deck, orders Adrian's Grinder Golem to attack Yubel in a fit of rage after Jesse threatens Adrian. The irony is that Jesse (speaking for Yubel) continually mocks Adrian for sacrificing the woman he loved, only to gain Exodia. In truth, if Grinder Golem hadn't attacked, Adrian would have won on his next turn, as he had the four regular Exodia pieces in his hand and he was about to draw Exodia the Forbidden One.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

In the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yusei compared the Earthbound Immortals to Exodia. No such comparison was made in the original.
