Duelist]]}}"'''Forbidden One'''", known as "'''Sealed'''" ({{Ruby|封|ふう}}{{Ruby|印|いん}}されし ''Fūinsareshi'') in Japanese, is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Spellcaster]] monsters used by [[Yugi Muto]], [[Yami Yugi]], [[Seeker]], and [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|thumbYu-Gi-Oh!]]'' manga and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|leftanime]], and [[Yubel (character)|300pxYubel]] (while possessing [[Marcel Bonaparte]]) and [[Adrian Gecko]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. This archetype consists of five monsters, each representing a body part of "[[Exodia the Forbidden One]]", which can grant the player an automatic [[victory condition]]when gathered in the player's [[hand]].

In the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, '''"Exodia the Forbidden One''' " is a series one of cards the first released in five [[Legend of Blue Eyes White DragonEffect Monster]] s ever to be released and were the first ever cards card to permit have an automatic win, rather than to reduce your opponent's alternative [[Life Pointsvictory condition]] to 0. The main card, "[[Exodia the Forbidden One]]" (often referred to as Exodia's head) is also one of the first five [[Effect Monsters]] ever to be released. They cards are perhaps some of the most iconic cards of in the seriesfranchise, being well known for their Automatic Win effect automatic win condition and how, in the anime, Yugi was the 's usage of them during [[Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba's first person to ever summon Exodia (and Duel]] in the [[''Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 001|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'' manga and anime.

While The archetype received their first support in the original set form of Exodia was extremely hard to obtain (all five pieces were "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" as a [[Ultra RareWeekly Shōnen Jump promotional cards|Weekly Shōnen Jump promotional card]])[[Weekly Shōnen Jump 2007, they have since been reprinted Issue 35 promotional card|in lesser rarities, with a common practice 2007]]. While many people refer to only print the head of "Forbidden One" cards as "Exodia as an ultra rare and " cards, the remaining limbs as "[[Exodia]]" [[commonarchetype]]sis a separate but related archetype, making and the set much easier only "Forbidden One" card to obtain. While the be a part of it is "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)Forbidden One".

The "Forbidden One" cards were the only monsters ever specifically mentioned in the rulebooks (other than as an example), due to "Exodia is one of the few Forbidden One" being the only card that can actually declare with an automatic winalternative victory condition at the time. Others include "[[Destiny Board]]", "[[Final Countdown]]", "[[Exodius Exodia the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]One"is no longer mentioned in the rulebook, "as its [[Last Turncard text]]", "[[Victory Dragon]]" and "[[Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes]]"suffices to clarify its effect.

NotablyOriginally, Exodia the complete "Forbidden One" set was the only monster ever specifically mentioned in the rulebooksextremely hard to obtain, even having the rule that should the with all five pieces be being [[Ultra Rare]]; they have since been reprinted in your hand at any time you win the duel. This was, howeverlesser rarities, prior making a complete set easy to other cards being released with effects that declared an automatic winobtain. Often "Exodia has since been removed from the rulebooks, Forbidden One" is printed as an Ultra Rare and the effects written on the head are sufficient enoughlimbs as [[Common]]s.''[[Image:ExodiaTablet.jpg||right|thumb|300pxYugi's Legendary Decks]]'' prints all five pieces as Ultra Rares, but as a pre-constructed Deck its contents are fixed, meaning that any player that buys the product receives a full set.

==Lore==[[File:ExodiaTablet.jpg|left|thumb|300px]]"Exodia " was, at first, a beast of such incalculable and intimidating might, that he was split up into five distinctive parts - , each one of them being chained and then sealed away by magic, from all the other monsters (hence "The the Forbidden One"). This would prevent way, his power was prevented from ever being used again. As a result, in the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, there are five different Exodia cards, each one symbolizing a part of the complete Exodia. In order for Exodia to regain his ginormous power, all of the five cards must be reuinted in the player's hand. This brings the parts of The Forbidden One together, allowing Exodia to break free, his strength being so great that he guarantees the summoner an automatic win, regardless of the situation. It's the effect of The Forbidden One that makes it one of the most godlike monsters amid normal ones in Duel Monsters; unlike the rest of the monsters used in duels, Exodia doesn't rely on attack and defense - it declares an immediate victory whenever complete & uncut - every time that all five cards are assembled in hand, the owner wins.

==Exodia Cards==[[Image:Complete_Bandai_Exodia.jpg|thumb|300px|Complete Bandai version of Exodia As a result, in the Forbidden One]]===Main cards===* ''Yu-Gi-Oh''card game, there are five distinct "[[Exodia the Forbidden One]]"'''* '''"[[Right Arm cards, each one symbolizing a part of the Forbidden One]]complete "'''* '''Exodia"[[Left Arm of the Forbidden One]]. In order for "'''* '''Exodia"[[Right Leg to be Summoned, the player must gather all the five parts into their hand. This brings the parts of the "Forbidden One]]"'''* '''together, allowing "Exodia"[[Left Leg to come forth, his strength being so great that he guarantees the player an automatic win, regardless of the Forbidden One]]"'''situation.

===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 effect of these was [["Exodia Necross]], which had to be summoned via [[Contract with Exodia]]. It is considered to be a [[zombie]] version " makes it one of Exodia, and possessing the near-invulnerability of the anime version of Exodia (most unusual monsters in the anime, it is said that Exodia, once summoned, is unstoppable) as long as the actual Exodia pieces remain in the [[Graveyard]]. It gains 500 ''Duel Monsters''; its effect doesn't rely on ATK during each of the player's [[Standby Phase]]s and cannot be destroyed in battle DEF or by [[Spell Cards|Spell]] and [[Trap Cards|Trap]] effects. It is automatically destroyed if any of even being on the field at all in order to activate, instead causing an immediate victory when all five Exodia pieces do not exist cards are assembled in the Graveyardhand.

The next such incarnation was "In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime, [[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden LordShimon]]", which provided an alternate method of winning with used Exodia. Exodius can only be summoned by returning all monsters in your Graveyard to your deck. When Exodius attacks, you are required to send a monster from either your hand or your deck to the Graveyard. Exodius gains 1000 ATK for each against [[Normal MonsterZorc Necrophades]] in your Graveyard. Should all five pieces of Exodia exist in player's Graveyard as a result of being sent there via Exodius's effect, the player automatically wins the duel. Since the limbs of against whom he was equal; however, "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. Since it's summoning condition puts monsters " was defeated because he drew his power from the Graveyard back into your deckShimon, it allows the possibility of an automatic win to persist even if Exodia pieces are sent to the Graveyarda single mortal man, and in fact makes it ''beneficial'' to send them there againwhereas Zorc had his own power source.

In addition, there is "==Origin==Exodia's backstory and pharaoh-like appearance likely references the Egyptian legend of [[Exxodwikipedia:Osiris|Osiris]], Master god of The Guard]]" who greatly resembles Exodia though has no automatic win effectdeath, rebirth, and judgment. In the same vein legend, Osiris was the god Egyptians believed brought them civilization, such as Necross being the deceased version knowledge of architecture, farming, and establishing the line of Exodiapharaohs. However, Osiris was betrayed by his jealous brother [[wikipedia:Set (mythology)|Set]] and was cut into several pieces, Exxod resembles which were then scattered across Egypt. Osiris' wife [[wikipedia:Isis|Isis]] recovered the pieces and brought Osiris back to life long enough for them to bear a completed Exodia while still sealedson, [[wikipedia:Horus|Horus]], before Osiris departed to the Land of the Dead where he became its ruler.

=="Exodia in the anime series" cards=====Yu-Gi-Oh!===In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime]], the File:Complete Bandai Exodia cards were notable for never being played until [[Yugi Muto]] was able to assemble all five pieces during his duel against [[Seto Kaiba]] during [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 001.jpg|thumb|300px|episode 1]]. Exodia appeared in this duel when Yugi gathered all five pieces in his hand. Then, the complete Exodia appeared on the field and launched one attack, prompted by the line 'Hellfire's Rage, Exodo Flame!" (Complete Bandai version of "Exodia, Obliterate" in the dub) from Yugi. The attack wiped out all three of Seto's Forbidden One"[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]s" and reduced his Life Points to zero.{{main|Exodia}}

HoweverWhile the primary purpose of "Exodia" is to declare an automatic win through having all five "Forbidden One" monsters, Yugi never used there have been other methods to using those pieces. The first of these was "[[Exodia Necross]]", which must be summoned via the effect of "[[Contract with Exodia]]", which possesses the near-invulnerability of the anime version of "Exodia cards again " as long as the actual "Forbidden One" pieces remain in the series, as [[Weevil UnderwoodGraveyard]] threw them overboard . It gains 500 ATK during each of the boat trip to Duelist Kingdom player's [[Standby Phase]]s and cannot be destroyed by battle or by [[Spell Card|Spell]] and despite the best efforts of [[Joey WheelerTrap Card]] only two pieces were recoveredeffects. If any of the five "Forbidden One" monsters are not in the Graveyard, it is automatically destroyed. Due to its near-invincibility and increasing strength, it serves as either a trump card that cannot be defeated, or as a backup plan if too many "Forbidden One" monsters end up in the Graveyard.

The next such incarnation was "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", which provided an alternate victory condition with "Exodia". "Exodius" can only be Summoned by returning all monsters in the Graveyard to the Deck. When it attacks, a monster must be [[File:ANIME-Exodia-Cards.jpg|thumb|left|300pxsend|sent]] from either the hand or Deck to the Graveyard and it gains 1000 ATK for each [[Weevil UnderwoodNormal Monster]] holding in the Graveyard. Should all 5 pieces five "Forbidden One" monsters be sent to the Graveyard via the effect of Exodia"Exodius", the player automatically wins the Duel. Since the "Forbidden One" limbs are Normal Monsters, as given they power up "Exodius" when sent to him the Graveyard by Yugi during [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 003|episode 003]]]]its effect, allowing field presence to be maintained, while also contributing to the possibility of an automatic victory. Since its Summoning condition puts monsters from the Graveyard back into the Deck, it allows the possibility of an automatic win even if "Forbidden One" monsters are sent to the Graveyard, and in fact makes it ''beneficial'' to send them there again.

In the addition, there is "[[Battle City]] arcExxod, [[Seeker]] Master of the [[Rare HuntersThe Guard]] uses " which greatly resembles "Exodia to defeat Joey in a duel", though without an automatic win effect. In the duel against Yugi that follows, same vein as "Necross" being the Rare Hunter almost wins, but is defeated when Yugi is able to wipe out every single copy Zombie counterpart of [["Exodia the Forbidden One]] in his deck", using "[[Chain Destruction]].Exxod" Following this, Yugi rips up the Exodia cards (for different reasons between the original and dub. In the originalresembles a completed, the cards were counterfeits. In the dubthough still sealed, the "Exodia cards were real, but they were marked with invisible ink so the Rare Hunter knew when he would draw one)".

In the [[Virtual World]] arc, [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] uses an Exodia Deck against [[Seto Kaiba]] believing that since Yugi defeated Kaiba with Exodia that Kaiba would fear it. Instead of collecting the parts of Exodia in his handFinally, he sends them to his graveyard so he can summon "[[True Exodia Necross]]". Kaiba is able to overcome his fears and see provides an alternate win condition for its controller's opponent, as long as the only monsters on the weakness in Exodia Necross field are itself and removes 1 each of the Exodia parts in the graveyard [[Removed from play|from play]] using 4 "Forbidden One"[[Soul DemolitionNormal Monster]]", thus rendering Necross powerlesss.

Exodia Necross==Anime=====''Yu-Gi-Oh!''s effect was marginally different in the anime.

== ==Battle City arc====Before the beginning of Kaiba'''s [[Battle City]] tournament, Seeker of the [[Rare Hunters]] used "Exodia" to defeat Joey Wheeler and take his "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon (anime)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]". In the Duel against Yami Yugi that followed the beginning of the tournament, Seeker was about to draw the "[[Left Arm of the Forbidden One (anime)|Left Arm of the Forbidden One]]" when Yugi prevented his draw by using "[[Time Seal (anime)|Time Seal]]" Later, Seeker was defeated when Yugi destroyed every copy of "[[Exodia the Forbidden One (anime)|Exodia vsthe Forbidden One]]" in his Deck using "[[Chain Destruction (anime)|Chain Destruction]]." Following that, Yugi ripped up the "Forbidden One" cards as they were [[counterfeit]]s (in the English dub, he did that since the "Forbidden One" cards were marked with invisible ink so the Rare Hunter knew when he would draw one). Dark Master Zorc''' ==

====Virtual World arc====Gozaburo Kaiba used an Exodia makes one final appearanceDeck against Seto Kaiba, during the [[Dawn and believed that since Yugi had defeated Kaiba with "Exodia", Kaiba would fear it. Instead of collecting the Duel]] (Millennium World) arc, on episode 216, various "The Dark Forbidden One Cometh" monsters in his hand, Part IIGozaburo sent them to his Graveyard so he could Summon ", as the Ka spirit of [[Shimon MuranExodia Necross]]. Shimon had long time ago sealed Exodia away due to its godly strength"; however, but released him now Kaiba was able to engage overcome his fears and saw the weakness in battle with the all-powerful "Exodia Necross", and so he [[Zorc Necrophadesbanish]]. Despite a strong effort, Exodia was defeated by Zorc, because Exodia drew his power from Shimon, while Zorc used ed the power of the darkness. Initially, though, both of them seemed imperishable, but as The "Forbidden One's life force was drawn from a single human, any damage caused to Exodia was also caused Shimon himself" monsters in the Graveyard using "[[Soul Demolition (anime)|Soul Demolition]]", and Shimon, being a sole mortal, wasn't able to stand up to the omnipotent power of Zorc, thus allowing the Dark Master to easily cleave rendered "Exodia in half, killing Shimon in the processNecross" powerless.

===Yu-Gi-Oh! GX===In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]], "Exodia Necross'" effect was marginally different in the anime. It gained a different effect for each "Exodia is used by two separate duelists" piece in the Graveyard. First It became immune to Spell and Trap Card effects when the "Left Leg" and "Right Leg" were each in the Graveyard; it became immune to [[Yubel (character)|YubelMonster Card]]-possessed effects if the "Left Arm" was in the Graveyard; it gained 1000 [[Marcel BonaparteATK]] uses an Exodia deck, which he discards after obtaining the three during [[Sacred Beastsdamage calculation]]. He gives if the "Right Arm" was in the five Graveyard; and it couldn't be destroyed by battle if "Exodia pieces to [[Adrian Gecko]] as part of a dealthe Forbidden One" was in the Graveyard.

Later in ====Dawn of the season, Adrian discovers the seal of Duel arc====Exodia makes one final appearance in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|216|ref}} as the third alternate dimension and realizes he must sacrifice the Duel Energy of someone close to him in order to free Exodia. He decides to sacrifice [[EchoKa]], whom he loved, but he was opposed by spirit of [[Aster PhoenixShimon Muran]]. The two duel and Aster is able to block Adrian's Shimon had sealed "Exodia cards using "a long time ago away due to its godly strength, but released him to engage in battle with [[Force of FourZorc Necrophades]].Despite a strong effort, "Exodia" Howeverwas defeated by Zorc, Adrian is able to make a comeback with because "Exodia"[[Exodius drew his power from Shimon, while Zorc used the power of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]darkness. Initially, both of them seemed imperishable, but as "Exodia's". Echo willingly sacrifices herself life force was drawn from Shimon, any damage caused to release "Exodia " was also caused to Shimon himself, and despite Aster coming close to victoryShimon, a sole mortal, Adrian is wasn't able to summon stand up to the power of Zorc. This allowed the demon to easily cleave "Exodia using Exodius's automatic victory rule and Aster is defeated" in half, killing Shimon in the process.

Adrian uses his Exodia deck against the Yubel===''Yu-Gi-possessed [[Jesse Anderson]] in order to become King of Oh! GX''===During the third alternate dimension. He is defeated when his opponent summons "[[Yubel]]" and [[Echo]] (whose spirit remains a part season of Adrianthe 's deck in the form of Exodia), orders Adrian's "[[Grinder GolemYu-Gi-Oh! GX]]" to attack "Yubel" in a fit of rage after Jesse threatens Adrian. The irony is that Yubel continually mocks Adrian for sacrificing the woman he loved, only to gain Exodia. In truth, if "Grinder Golem" hadn't attacked' anime, 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" after previously placing it on top of his deck with "[[A Feather of the Phoenix]]was used by two separate Duelists."

In The first was Marcel Bonaparte, who was possessed by the animespirit of Yubel, Exodius's which he used during his Duel against Adrian Gecko. Using the effect was marginally different. It needed be summoned via "[[The Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord]]" and was immune to [[Effect MonstersMad Reloader (anime)|MonsterMad Reloader]]", he drew the "Forbidden One" Normal Monsters. He intended to the effect of two "[[Spell Cards|SpellBreak the Seal]] and [[Trap Cards|Trap]] effects controlled by the player's opponent. Rather than gaining attack for Normal Monsters in the Graveyard, it gained attack only for Exodia pieces in " to send them to the Graveyard and only add "Exodia pieces (not any monster) could be sent from the deck or Forbidden One" to his hand to , but at that time, the Graveyard when it attacked. It'[[Sacred Beast]]s condition of granting an automatic victory should all Exodia pieces be sent awakened, forcing them to end the Graveyard via it's effect remained the sameDuel.

===Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's===In Later in the season, Adrian discovered the dub seal of "Exodia" in the third alternate dimension and realized that he must sacrifice the Duel Energy of someone close to him in order to free "Exodia". Adrian decided to sacrifice [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'sEcho]], whom he loved, but was opposed by [[Yusei FudoAster Phoenix]] compared . The two Dueled and Aster was able to block Adrian from achieving the victory condition of "Exodia" using "[[Earthbound ImmortalsForce of Four]] ." Adrian, however, made a comeback using "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord (anime)|Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]". Echo willingly sacrificed herself to release "Exodia. No such comparison ", and despite Aster coming close to victory, Adrian was made in able to Summon "Exodia" by using the originalvictory condition of "Exodius".

Adrian later used his Exodia Deck against [[Jesse Anderson]] (possessed by Yubel) in order to become the king of the third alternate dimension. Adrian was defeated when his opponent Summoned "[[Yubel (anime)|Yubel]]", whose effect defeated him as she attacked "[[Torch Golem (anime)|Torch Golem]]". Adrian would have won during his next turn, as he had four different "Forbidden One" monsters in his hand and was about to draw the fifth, which was placed on top of his Deck by using "[[A Feather of the Phoenix (anime)|A Feather of the Phoenix]]". In the anime, the effect of "Exodius" effect was marginally different. It needed be Summoned via "[[Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" and was immune to card effects controlled by the player's opponent. Rather than gaining ATK for Normal Monsters in the Graveyard, it gained ATK only for "Forbidden One" monsters in the Graveyard, and it could only send "Forbidden One" monsters from the Deck or hand to the Graveyard when it attacked. ==Deck Types=''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's''===In the English dubbed version of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, [[Yusei Fudo]] compared the "[[Earthbound Immortals]]" to "Exodia", though he was likely using the size and similar body shapes of "Exodia" and "[[Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu (anime)|Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu]]" as his main comparison. ==Video games=====''Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum''===In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum]]'', the player could fuse the five pieces of "Exodia" to Summon "[[The Legendary Exodia Incarnate]]", the complete Exodia, (but it will be only like a normal fusion piece) with an ability to cause massive damage on the monsters that was in range, that was known by "Obliterate". ===''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses''===In ''See also:[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
