* '''"[[Left Leg of the Forbidden One]]"'''
Lets get ===Other cards===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 had to be summoned via [[Contract with Exodia]]. It is considered to be a [[zombie]] version of Exodia, and possessing the near-invulnerability of the anime version of Exodia (in the anime, it nice is said that Exodia, once summoned, is unstoppable) as long as the actual Exodia pieces remain in the [[Graveyard]]. It gains 500 ATK during each of the player's [[Standby Phase]]s and easy cannot be destroyed in battle or by [[Spell Cards|Spell]] and [[Trap Cards|Trap]] effects. It is automatically destroyed if any of the five Exodia pieces do not exist in the Graveyard. The next such incarnation was "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]", which provided an alternate method of winning with Exodia. Exodius can only be summoned by returning all monsters in your Graveyard to your deck. When Exodius attacks, you have are required to send a monster from either your hand or your deck to the Graveyard. Exodius gains 1000 ATK for each [[Normal Monster]] in your Graveyard. Should all five pieces like of Exodia exist in player's Graveyard as a result of being sent there via Exodius's effect, the ones listed above player automatically wins the duel. Since the limbs of Exodia are Normal Monsters, being sent there via Exodius's effect powers up Exodius, allowing you to maintain field presence, while also contributing to the possibility of an automatic win you either have all . Since it's summoning condition puts monsters from the Graveyard back into your deck, it allows the possibility of an automatic win to persist even if Exodia pieces are sent to the Graveyard, and in fact makes it ''beneficial'' to send them in your hand OR on there again. In addition, there is "[[Exxod, Master of The Guard]]" who greatly resembles Exodia though has no automatic win effect. In the same vein as Necross being the fielddeceased version of Exodia, Exxod resembles a completed Exodia while still sealed.
