"'''Malefic'''", known as "'''Sin'''" ({{Ruby|Sin|シン}} ''Shin'') in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|''OCG]]'']], is an [[archetype]] of cards which were introduced in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time]] ''movie. They , in which they are used by [[Paradox]], and are almost exclusively corrupted versions of existing monsters. Paradox, who plays the The "Malefic" Deck, claims that these cards monsters are are the most powerful cards in history, due to the fact that they aren't bound to all [[Normal SummonDARK]]ing rules. The only monsters known in this archetype are "[[Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", "[[Malefic Red-Eyes B. Dragon|Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]", "or [[Malefic Stardust DragonMachine]]", "-[[Malefic Cyber End DragonType]]", and "[[Malefic Rainbow Dragon]]", monsters. Most of them are corrupted versions of their non-"Malefic" the [[counterpartsignature card]]s; as well as 3 unique monsters, "[[Malefic Parallel Gear]]", "[[Malefic Paradox Dragon]]" and "[[Malefic Truth Dragon]]". The "Sin" part of the name is always written in English as Malefic. Almost all "Malefic" monsters are [[Special Summon]]ed by banishing their original form characters from the ''[[Main Deck|Deck]] or [[Extra Deck]] Yu-Gi-Oh! (in the movie, they are instead sent to the [[Graveyard]]anime). They share three aspects with the "[[Earthbound Immortal]]" archetype: Both archetypes consist of [[DARK|DARK AttributeYu-Gi-Oh!]] monsters'', only one of them can be on the ''[[Playing Field|fieldYu-Gi-Oh! GX]] at a time (in the movie'', more than one can be present) and ''[[destroyYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]] themselves if a [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] is not present. They also have an effect in common with the "[[Meklord Emperors]]" which prevents other monsters you control from attacking ('' anime; in the movieparticular, they don't have this effect either)are corrupted versions of dragons or mechanical dragons.==Anime==The first two "Malefic" monsters, "[[Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and "[[Malefic Red-Eyes B. Dragon]]", had no effects besides Paradox claims that they are the aforementioned ones. The thirdmost powerful cards in history, "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]", offers support due to the theme by protecting fact that they are not bound to [[Field Spell Card]] from destruction by card effects. The fourth, "[[Malefic Truth Dragon]]" is able to Special Normal Summon itself from the [[hand]] or [[Graveyard]] and allows other monsters you [[control]] to attack, as well as destroying all opponents monsters when it destroys something by battleing rules. In the movie, "[[Malefic Cyber End Dragon]]" retained its original formmonsters were much more flexible than their ''OCG''/''s [[Piercing]] effect, while in the [[TCG]]/[[OCG]] it has no effects besides the standard ones, as with the first two. "[[Malefic Parallel Gear]]" allows you to use 1 '' cards; multiple "Malefic" monster in your hand for a [[Synchro Summon]]monsters could exist on the field at once, they did not impose attack restrictions on their controller and "[[Malefic Paradox Dragon]]" when Summoned can Special Summon a [[Synchro Monster]] from either player's Graveyard. "[[Malefic Rainbow Dragon]]", is unique for allowing a player to banish "[[Rainbow Dragon]]" from the hand in addition original monsters were sent to the [[Main Deck|DeckGraveyard]]. The movie versions (instead of "being [[Malefic Paradox Dragonbanish]]" ed), thus allowing Paradox to easily and "[[Malefic Truth Dragon]]" both have their own effects as wellconstantly swarm the field with his powerful monsters. ==Design ==[[File:The Sin Archetype.jpg|thumb|leftright|300px|Designs of "Malefic" monsters]]===Etymology===The Japanese name for this archetype, "Sin", is meant as a pun on the words for "truth" ("shin") and "sin" ("tsumi"), alluding to the truth of human nature as seen by Paradox—that humanity's errors have led to the world's destruction.The English name "Malefic" means "having or asserting a negative influence", referring to how these cards are corrupted versions of existing cards.===Appearance ===
Many "Malefic" monsters have mechanical-looking pieces of their body which are made of a mix of white, grey and black metal, including wings and face-plates (and, in the case of "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]", knee and torso plates). Their faces have masks similar to that of Paradox, with the right side black, the left side white and line patterns that cover the eyes ("[[Malefic Cyber End Dragon]]" also has its far right head black and far left white). "[[Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and "[[Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" are the only "Malefic" monsters whose right eye is not covered by their masks.
===Origin===
Most of the monsters in this archetype are corrupted versions of other monsters (most of which are counterparts of well-known [[Dragon]]-Typess). The remaining three monsters look similar, but have no known non-Malefic counterparts.
