"'''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)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' manga and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]], and [[Yubel (character)|Yubel]] (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]].
"Exodia the Forbidden One" is one of the first five [[Effect Monster]]s ever to be released and the first card to have an alternative [[victory condition]]. The "Forbidden One" cards are some of the most iconic cards in the franchise, being well known for their automatic win condition and Yugi's usage of them during [[Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba's first Duel]] in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime.
The archetype received their first support in the form of "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" as a [[Weekly Shōnen Jump promotional cards|Weekly Shōnen Jump promotional card]] [[Weekly Shōnen Jump 2007, Issue 35 promotional card|in 2007]]. While many people refer to the "Forbidden One" cards as "Exodia" cards, the "[[Exodia]]" [[archetype]] is a separate but related archetype, and the only "Forbidden One" card to be a part of it is "Exodia the Forbidden One".
The "Forbidden One" cards were the only monsters ever specifically mentioned in the rulebooks (other than as an example), due to "Exodia the Forbidden One" being the only card with an alternative victory condition at the time. "Exodia the Forbidden One" is no longer mentioned in the rulebook, as its [[card text]] suffices to clarify its effect.
Originally, the complete "Forbidden One" set was extremely hard to obtain, with all five pieces being [[Ultra Rare]]; they have since been reprinted in lesser rarities, making a complete set easy to obtain. Often "Exodia the Forbidden One" is printed as an Ultra Rare and the limbs as [[Common]]s. ''[[Yugi'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.
As a result, in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' card game, there are five distinct "Forbidden One" cards, each one symbolizing a part of the complete "Exodia". In order for "Exodia" 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" to come forth, his strength being so great that he guarantees the player an automatic win, regardless of the situation.
The effect of "Exodia" makes it one of the most unusual monsters in ''Duel Monsters''; its effect doesn't rely on ATK and DEF or even being on the field at all in order to activate, instead causing an immediate victory when all five cards are assembled in the hand. In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime, [[Shimon]] used Exodia against [[Zorc Necrophades]], against whom he was equal; however, "Exodia" was defeated because he drew his power from Shimon, a single mortal man, whereas Zorc had his own power source. ==Origin==Exodia's backstory and pharaoh-like appearance likely references the Egyptian legend of [[wikipedia:Osiris|Osiris]], god of death, rebirth, and judgment. In the legend, Osiris was the god Egyptians believed brought them civilization, such as the knowledge of architecture, farming, and establishing the line of pharaohs. However, Osiris was betrayed by his jealous brother [[wikipedia:Set (mythology)|Set]] and was cut into several pieces, 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 son, [[wikipedia:Horus|Horus]], before Osiris departed to the Land of the Dead where he became its ruler. =="Exodia " cards==

===''Yu-Gi-Oh!''===
====Duelist Kingdom arc====[[File:ANIME-Exodia-Cards.jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[Weevil Underwood]] holding all 5 pieces of Exodia, as given to him by Yugi during [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 003|episode 3]].]]In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|second anime series]], the "Forbidden OneExodia" cards were notable for never having been successfully being played until [[Yami Yugi Muto]] was able to assemble all five pieces during his duel Duel against [[Seto Kaiba]] during [[in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode |001|episode 1]]ref}}. Afterwards, "[[Exodia the Forbidden One (character)|Exodia]]" appeared in this duel when Yugi gathered all five pieces in his hand, after which it on the field and launched an attack, prompted by the line "Exodia, Obliterate" ("Hellfire's Rage, Exodo Flame!" in the original version) from Yugi. The attack wiped powerful enough to simultaneously wipe out all three of SetoKaiba's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon(anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragons]]s" and reduced his [[Life Points]] , allowing Yugi to zerowin the Duel.
However, in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|003|ref}}, during Yugi never used the "Exodia" cards again in the series because Muto's boat trip to [[Duelist Kingdom]], [[Weevil Underwood]] threw them overboard during to ensure that Yugi couldn't use them for the boat trip to [[Duelist Kingdom]] (while saying "This is my strategy!")tournament; despite the best efforts of [[Joey Wheeler]], only two pieces were recovered, but Yugi has never used the "Exodia" cards again.
====Battle City arc====Before the beginning of Kaiba's [[Battle City]] tournament, Seeker of the [[File:ANIME-Rare Hunters]] used "Exodia" to defeat Joey Wheeler and take his "[[Red-CardsEyes B.jpgDragon (anime)|thumb|left|300pxRed-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 "[[Weevil UnderwoodTime Seal (anime)|Time Seal]] holding all 5 pieces " Later, Seeker was defeated when Yugi destroyed every copy of "[[Exodia the Forbidden One (anime)|Exodia, as given to him by Yugi during the Forbidden One]]" in his Deck using "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 003Chain Destruction (anime)|episode 3Chain 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).
====Exodia vs Zorc Necrophades=''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX''===Exodia makes one final appearance during During the [[Dawn third season of the Duel]] arc, in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 216|episode 216GX]], as the [[Egyptian Spirit Monster|Ka]] spirit of [[Shimon Muran]]. Shimon had sealed "Exodia" a long time ago away due to its godly strength but released him now to engage in battle with [[Zorc Necrophades]]. Despite a strong effort'' anime, "Exodia" was defeated used by Zorc, because "Exodia" drew his power from Shimon, while Zorc used 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 to Shimon himself, and Shimon, being a sole mortal, wasn't able to stand up to the power of Zorc, thus allowing the Dark Demon to easily cleave "Exodia" in half, killing Shimon in the processtwo separate Duelists.
Later in the season, Adrian discovers discovered the seal of "Exodia" in the third alternate dimension and realizes realized that he must sacrifice the Duel Energy of someone close to him in order to free "Exodia". He decides Adrian decided to sacrifice [[Echo]], whom he loved, but he was opposed by [[Aster Phoenix]]. The two duel Dueled and Aster is was able to block Adrian's from achieving the victory condition of "Exodia" cards using "[[Force of Four]]." HoweverAdrian, Adrian is able to make however, made a comeback with using "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord (anime)|Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]". Echo willingly sacrifices sacrificed herself to release "Exodia" , and despite Aster coming close to victory, Adrian is was able to Summon "Exodia" by using the victory condition of "Exodius'" automatic victory rule and Aster is defeated.
Adrian uses later used his Exodia Deck against the Yubel-possessed [[Jesse Anderson]] (possessed by Yubel) in order to become King the king of the third alternate dimension. He is Adrian was defeated when his opponent summons Summoned "[[Yubel (anime)|Yubel]]", whose effect defeats Adrian defeated him as she attacks attacked "[[Grinder Torch Golem (anime)|Torch Golem]]". Had this not happened, Adrian would have wonduring his next turn, as he had four different "ExodiaForbidden One" pieces monsters in his hand and was about to draw the fifth, having which was placed it 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 "[[The Ultimate Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" and was immune to [[Effect Monsters|Monster]], [[Spell Cards|Spell]] and [[Trap Cards|Trap]] card effects controlled by the player's opponent. Rather than gaining attack ATK for Normal Monsters in the Graveyard, it gained attack ATK only for "ExodiaForbidden One" pieces monsters in the Graveyard , and it could only send "ExodiaForbidden One" pieces (not any monster) could be sent monsters from the Deck or hand to the Graveyard when it attacked. Its condition of granting an automatic victory should all "Exodia" pieces be sent to the Graveyard via its effect remained the same.
===''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's''===
In the dub 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 ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses]]'', "[[Summoned Lord Exodia]]" could be unlocked in the Library when the player successfully Summoned Exodia, but it was impossible to see him in 3D, and the only available statuses were his [[Type]], which is [[Spellcaster]], and his [[Attribute]], which is [[DARK]]. ==Recommended cards=={{main|Exodia OTK}}===Official Decks==={{Decklist|Changsha Local Tournament [[Forbidden One|Exodia]] Official Deck (1st Place)<ref>http://ygorganization.com/ocg-07132015-ocg-japan-and-china-decklists/</ref>|normal monsters =* [[Left Arm of the Forbidden One]]* [[Left Leg of the Forbidden One]]* [[Right Arm of the Forbidden One]]* [[Right Leg of the Forbidden One]]|effect monsters =* [[Exodia the Forbidden One]]* [[Cardcar D]] x3* [[Swift Scarecrow]] x3|xyz monsters =* [[Armored Kappa]]* [[Baby Tiragon]]* [[Daigusto Phoenix]]* [[Downerd Magician]]* [[Gachi Gachi Gantetsu]]* [[Ghostrick Angel of Mischief]]* [[Ghostrick Dullahan]]* [[Ghostrick Socuteboss]]* [[Herald of Pure Light]]* [[Mira the Star-Bearer]]* [[Number 56: Gold Rat]]* [[Number 63: Shamoji Soldier]]* [[Shining Elf]]* [[Sky Cavalry Centaurea]]* [[Slacker Magician]]|spells =* [[Chicken Game]] x3* [[Pot of Duality]] x3* [[Terraforming]] x2* [[Upstart Goblin]] x3|traps =* [[Accumulated Fortune]] x3* [[Gift Card]] x3* [[Hope for Escape]] x3* [[Jar of Greed]] x2* [[Legacy of Yata-Garasu]] x3* [[Threatening Roar]] x2* [[Torrential Tribute]]* [[Waboku]] x3}}{{Decklist|Changsha Local Tournament [[Forbidden One|Exodia]] Official Side Deck (1st Place)<ref>http://ygorganization.com/ocg-07132015-ocg-japan-and-china-decklists/</ref>|effect monsters =* [[Artifact Lancea]] x2* [[Maxx "C"]] x3* [[Night Dragolich]] x3|spells =* [[Galaxy Cyclone]] x3* [[Smashing Ground]]|traps =* [[Self-Destruct Button]] x3}}{{Decklist|“Silent Magician” + “Exodia” Deck<ref>[https://ygorganization.com/2girlsandasharkplace/ YGOrganization] Sleeve Winner Deck Recipes </ref>|normal monsters =* [[Left Arm of the Forbidden One]] x1* [[Left Leg of the Forbidden One]] x1* [[Right Arm of the Forbidden One]] x1* [[Right Leg of the Forbidden One]] x1|effect monsters =* [[Exodia the Forbidden One]] x1* [[Fairy Tail - Luna]] x3* [[Fairy Tail - Rella]] x3* [[Silent Magician]] x3* [[Silent Magician LV8]] x1* [[Spellbook Magician of Prophecy]] x1* [[The Legendary Exodia Incarnate]] x3|xyz monsters =* [[Abyss Dweller]] x1* [[Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer]] x1* [[Ghostrick Dullahan]] x1* [[Number 35: Ravenous Tarantula]] x1* [[Number 39: Utopia]] x1* [[Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir]] x1* [[Number 77: The Seven Sins]] x1* [[Number 84: Pain Gainer]] x1* [[Number S39: Utopia the Lightning]] x1* [[Performage Trapeze Magician]] x1* [[Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max]] x1* [[Sylvan Princessprite]] x2* [[Tornado Dragon]] x1|link monsters =* [[Linkuriboh]] x1|spells =* [[Burning Bamboo Sword]] x1* [[Cursed Bamboo Sword]] x3* [[Dark Magic Veil]] x3* [[Foolish Burial Goods]] x2* [[Golden Bamboo Sword]] x3* [[Monster Reborn]] x1* [[Moon Mirror Shield]] x1* [[Silent Burning]] x2* [[Spellbook of Knowledge]] x3* [[Spellbook of Secrets]] x1* [[Wonder Wand]] x1|traps =* [[Obliterate!!!]] x3}}
