"'''Maju'''", known as "'''Devil Beast'''" ({{Ruby|魔|ま}}{{Ruby|獣|じゅう}} ''Majū'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is a [[series]] of [[variable ATK]] monsters released in ''[[Dark Crisis]]'' and ''[[Invasion of Chaos]]''. They are all [[Fiend]]-[[Type]].

'''Maju''', known as '''Demon Beast''' ({{Ruby|魔|ま}}{{Ruby|獣|じゅう}} ''Majū'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is a [[series]] of [[variable ATK]] [[Fiend]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] released in ''[[Dark Crisis]]'' and ''[[Invasion of Chaos]]''.
  
"[[Maju Garzett]]" and "[[Great Maju Garzett]]" share the [[DARK]] [[Attribute]] and were both released in ''Dark Crisis'', the former being initially [[Short Print]] while the latter was [[Rare]], although they were reprinted as [[Common]]s in ''[[Dark Revelation 1]]''. Their [[ATK]] is based on the [[original ATK and DEF|original ATK]] of the monster(s) [[Tribute]]d to [[Normal Summon]] them.  
+
Members of the series take their Japanese names and elements of their designs from the various installments of ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazinger_Z Mazinger Z]'', with the Japanese pronunciation of the two names (''maju gazetto'' and ''majinga zetto'') being almost identical.
  
"[[Gren Maju Da Eiza]]" was released in the next [[Booster Pack]], ''Invasion of Chaos'', as [[Common]]. Its ATK and DEF are based on the number of both player's cards that are [[banish]]ed. It works better as a [[beatstick]] in Decks centered around banishing, late in the Duel.
+
==Members==
 +
===Garzett===
 +
All "Maju Garzett" monsters are [[DARK]] monsters. Their variable ATK effects are "becomes" effects, meaning that they are set upon being summoned. If they are applied with "ATK becomes" effects or effect negations, their ATK will be reset to 0 after the effects wear off.
  
"[[Legendary Maju Garzett]]" was released in ''[[Secrets of Eternity]]'', it can only be Special Summoned by Tributing all monsters you control, and its ATK becomes equal to the combined original ATK of the Tributed monsters.

===Gren Maju Da Eiza===
 +
"[[Gren Maju Da Eiza]]" has a simple effect: its ATK and DEF are both equal to the number of the player's banished cards times 400. Though most decks do not have the banishing capacity to take advantage of "Gren Maju", dedicated deck builds focusing on it can use mass self-banishing cards to rapidly banish 10, 20, or even more cards in a single turn, skyrocketing its ATK into the 4000-8000 range, turning it into a dangerous ultra-high ATK Normal Summonable monster with the capacity to perform [[OTK]]s.
  
==Playing Style==
+
A "Gren Maju" deck generally aims to simplify and control the game state through staple blowout cards, floodgates, and supportive engines, in order to draw into the unsearchable "Gren Maju", and then use rapid self-banishing cards to boost "Gren Maju"'s ATK to tremendously high levels and OTK with it. In 2021, the current key cards that facilitate the rapid banishing of cards are "[[Eater of Millions]]", "[[Pot of Desires]]", and "[[Gizmek Orochi, the Serpentron Sky Slasher]]", all of whom have effects that can rapidly banish cards from the player's Deck or Extra Deck face-down, while giving some additional advantage in the process.
  
"[[Gren Maju Da Eiza]]" works in most Decks that banishes cards.
+
The simplicity of the "Gren Maju" strategy means that the deck has large amounts of free space that can be used for supportive engines and/or staple cards. Some examples of cards that synergize with the "Gren Maju" playstyle include:
 +
 
 +
* Mass banishing floodgates such as "[[Macro Cosmos]]" and "[[Dimension Shifter]]", as the deck has little need for the GY and benefits from additional banished cards.
 +
* "[[Inspector Boarder]]", whose floodgate effect does not affect "Gren Maju" because its effect doesn't activate.
 +
* Level 8 monsters to take advantage of "Gizmek Orochi"'s status as an easily Special Summoned Level 8 monster for Rank 8 plays; examples include "[[Golden Castle of Stromberg]]" to summon "[[Hexe Trude]]", "[[Alpha, the Master of Beasts]]", the "[[Danger!]]" engine, and the "[[Kaiju]]" engine. They additionally synergize with "[[Trade-In]]", which provides more draw power and makes "Gren Maju" more likely to appear.

"[[Legendary Maju Garzett]]", "[[Great Maju Garzett]]" and "[[Maju Garzett]]" need easily-Summoned high [[ATK]] monsters so they can be used at their full potential. [[DARK]] monsters with 0 [[DEF]] are the most useful, since they can be recycled using "[[Recurring Nightmare]]", which can also return the "Majus" to the hand. "[[Goblin]]s" and "[[Giant Orc]]" suggest "[[Skill Drain]]", but it completely cripples the "Majus", so an alternative is "[[Final Attack Orders]]", which has the bonus of ensuring [[Battle Damage]] against [[face-down]] [[Defense Position]] monsters. "[[Forbidden Chalice]]" won't affect all your monsters like "[[Skill Drain]]", can negate the negative effect of your low [[Level]] monsters, or give them the extra ATK they might need. "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" aids other [[Fiend]]s by negating the effects of monsters they destroy. Too many high-Level monsters can be [[Dead Draw|dead draw]]s, a problem than can be solved with cards like "[[The Monarchs Stormforth]]". "[[Grave Squirmer]]", may be useless for the "Majus", but can destroy troublesome cards or be Tributed for another monster, and is an extra target for "[[Recurring Nightmare]]"; however, avoid using it with an active "[[Final Attack Orders]]". "[[Battle Mania]]" forces your opponent to attack an overpowered "Great Maju Garzett", and "[[Megamorph]]" can help [[OTK]] the opponent. "[[Vanity's Fiend]]" ensures your opponent is in the same situation as you. "[[Dark Necrofear]]", although collides with the last two, is a [[staple]] in Decks with lots of Fiends, and can be [[Tribute]]d right away to bring a 4400 ATK "Great Maju Garzett". "[[Ojama Trio]]" works with "[[Battle Mania]]" and/or "Final Attack Orders". [[Counter Trap]]s or [[Virus]] cards can either protect your monsters or give them another use if they are about to be destroyed anyway.
+
===Maju Garzett===
 +
The "Maju Garzett" monsters focus on gaining ATK when they are Tribute Summoned or Special Summoned by tributing friendly monsters. They are generally ineffective in the current metagame in 2021, as they don't have effects that provide strong field presence, requires a hefty cost for their own summons, and, aside from "[[Great Maju Garzett]]", doesn't actually increase the amount of net ATK the player has on field. Potential synergies include generic [[DARK]] and [[Fiend]] support and Tribute Summoning support (e.g. "[[Monarch]]" support).

Maju, known as Demon Beast (じゅう Majū) in the OCG, is a series of variable ATK Fiend monsters released in Dark Crisis and Invasion of Chaos.

Members of the series take their Japanese names and elements of their designs from the various installments of Mazinger Z, with the Japanese pronunciation of the two names (maju gazetto and majinga zetto) being almost identical.

All "Maju Garzett" monsters are DARK monsters. Their variable ATK effects are "becomes" effects, meaning that they are set upon being summoned. If they are applied with "ATK becomes" effects or effect negations, their ATK will be reset to 0 after the effects wear off.

Gren Maju Da Eiza[edit]

"Gren Maju Da Eiza" has a simple effect: its ATK and DEF are both equal to the number of the player's banished cards times 400. Though most decks do not have the banishing capacity to take advantage of "Gren Maju", dedicated deck builds focusing on it can use mass self-banishing cards to rapidly banish 10, 20, or even more cards in a single turn, skyrocketing its ATK into the 4000-8000 range, turning it into a dangerous ultra-high ATK Normal Summonable monster with the capacity to perform OTKs.

A "Gren Maju" deck generally aims to simplify and control the game state through staple blowout cards, floodgates, and supportive engines, in order to draw into the unsearchable "Gren Maju", and then use rapid self-banishing cards to boost "Gren Maju"'s ATK to tremendously high levels and OTK with it.

The simplicity of the "Gren Maju" strategy means that the deck has large amounts of free space that can be used for supportive engines and/or staple cards. Some examples of cards that synergize with the "Gren Maju" playstyle include:

  • Mass banishing floodgates such as "Macro Cosmos" and "Dimension Shifter", as the deck has little need for the GY and benefits from additional banished cards.
  • "Inspector Boarder", whose floodgate effect does not affect "Gren Maju" because its effect doesn't activate.
  • Level 8 monsters to take advantage of "Gizmek Orochi"'s status as an easily Special Summoned Level 8 monster for Rank 8 plays; examples include "Golden Castle of Stromberg" to summon "Hexe Trude", "Alpha, the Master of Beasts", the "Danger!" engine, and the "Kaiju" engine. They additionally synergize with "Trade-In", which provides more draw power and makes "Gren Maju" more likely to appear.

The "Maju Garzett" monsters focus on gaining ATK when they are Tribute Summoned or Special Summoned by tributing friendly monsters. They are generally ineffective in the current metagame in 2021, as they don't have effects that provide strong field presence, requires a hefty cost for their own summons, and, aside from "Great Maju Garzett", doesn't actually increase the amount of net ATK the player has on field. Potential synergies include generic DARK and Fiend support and Tribute Summoning support (e.g. "Monarch" support).
