"'''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'''", known as "'''Sealed'''" ({{Ruby|封|ふう}}{{Ruby|印|いん}}されし ''Fūinsareshi'') in Japanese, is one of the first five [[Effect Monster]]s ever to be released and the first card to have an alternative [[archetypevictory condition]] of five cards, each representing a body part of . The "Exodia the Forbidden One", which when gathered cards are some of the most iconic cards in the playerfranchise, being well known for their automatic win condition and Yugi's usage of them during [[handYami Yugi and Seto Kaiba's first Duel]], grant in the player an automatic win''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime.
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 [[Fixed Rarity]] Ultra Rares. "[[Exodia the Forbidden One (World Championship character)|Exodia the Forbidden One]]" appears , but as a character in ''[[Yupre-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007]]''constructed Deck its contents are fixed, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator]]'' and in ''[[Exodia (Duel Arena)|Duel Arena]]''meaning that any player that buys the product receives a full set.
==Lore==
[[File:ExodiaTablet.jpg|rightleft|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 chained and sealed away by magic from all the other monsters (hence "the Forbidden One"). That would have prevented This way, his power was prevented from ever being used again.
==Origin==

{{main|Exodia}}
While the primary purpose of "Exodia" is to declare an automatic win through having all five "Forbidden One" monsters, 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" as long as the actual "Forbidden One" pieces remain in the [[Graveyard]]. It gains 500 ATK during each of the player's [[Standby Phase]]s and cannot be destroyed by battle or by [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]] effects. 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 method of winning victory condition with "Exodia". "Exodius" can only be Summoned by returning all monsters in the Graveyard to the Deck. When "Exodius" it attacks, a monster must be [[Sendsend|sent]] from either the hand or Deck to the Graveyard. "Exodius" and it gains 1000 ATK for each [[Normal Monster]] in the Graveyard. Should all five pieces of "ExodiaForbidden One" exist in monsters be sent to the Graveyard as a result of being sent there via the effect of "Exodius", the player automatically wins the duelDuel. Since the "Forbidden One" limbs are Normal Monsters, they power up "Exodius" when sent to the Graveyard by its effect, allowing field presence to be maintained, while also contributing to the possibility of an automatic winvictory. 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" pieces monsters are sent to the Graveyard, and in fact makes it ''beneficial'' to send them there again.
In addition, there is "[[Exxod, Master of The Guard]]" which greatly resembles "Exodia", though without an automatic win effect. In the same vein as "Necross" being the Zombie counterpart of "Exodia", "Exxod" resembles a completed, though still sealed, "Exodia".
==Anime==
===''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! (anime)|second anime series]], the "Forbidden OneExodia" cards were notable for never 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 that duel when Yugi gathered all five pieces in his hand, after which it on the field and launched an attack, that was prompted by the line "Exodia, Obliterate" ("Hellfire's Rage, Exodo Flame!" in the original) from Yugi. The attack wiped powerful enough to simultaneously wipe out all three of Kaiba's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon(anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragons]]s" and , allowing Yugi won to win the Duel.
However, Yugi never used the "Exodia" cards again in the series because [[Weevil Underwood]] threw them overboard {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|003|ref}}, during the Yugi Muto's boat trip to [[Duelist Kingdom]] , [[Weevil Underwood]] threw them overboard to ensure that Yugi couldn't use them for the 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 made 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 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, a sole mortal, wasn't able to stand up to the power of Zorc, which thus allowed the Dark Demon to easily cleave "Exodia" in half, and killed Shimon in the processtwo separate Duelists.
Later in the season, Adrian discovered the 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 [[Echo]], whom he loved, but was opposed by [[Aster Phoenix]]. The two Dueled and Aster was able to block Adrian from achieving the [[victory condition]] of "Exodia" using "[[Force of Four]]." HoweverAdrian, however, Adrian was able to make made a comeback with using "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord (anime)|Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]". Echo willingly sacrificed herself to release "Exodia", and despite Aster coming close to victory, Adrian was able to Summon "Exodia" by using the victory condition of "Exodius".
Adrian 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. Adrian was defeated when his opponent Summoned "[[Yubel (anime)|Yubel]]", whose effect defeated him as she attacked "[[Grinder Torch Golem (anime)|Torch Golem]]". Had that not happened, Adrian would have wonduring 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 [[Effect Monster|Monster]], [[Spell Cards|Spell]] and [[Trap Cards|Trap]] 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.
===''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 Gamesgames==
===''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]]'', "The Legendary [[Summoned Lord Exodia Incarnate]]" 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]].
