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.
