| − | The '''Egyptian God Cards''', also known in Japanese as the '''Three Legendary Gods''' ({{Ruby|三|さん}}{{Ruby|幻|げん}}{{Ruby|神|しん}}, ''Sangenshin''), are a series of powerful monster cards in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' that serve as a focal point in the series' manga, the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]], and numerous video games. They are all [[Level 10]] [[DIVINE]] [[Divine-Beast]] monsters, consisting of "[[Obelisk the Tormentor]]" (used by [[Seto Kaiba]]), "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" (used by [[Yami Yugi]]), and "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" (used by [[Yami Marik]]), and their fused form, "[[Holactie the Creator of Light]]" (used by [[Pharaoh Atem]]). The God cards are the only Divine-Beast cards and, along with "Holactie", are the only DIVINE cards in the ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]''.

Their names are derived from the deities or items featured in [[wikipedia:Egyptian mythology|Egyptian mythology]]. According to [[Ishizu Ishtar]], they are believed to represent the polarities of the universe, while [[Pharaoh Atem]] regards them by their respective titles.

| − | During [[Maximillion Pegasus]]'s second trip to Egypt to create the ''[[Duel Monsters]]'' game based on the ancient [[Shadow Game]]s, he is taken to an underground city by [[Shadi]] and discovers a tablet containing the carvings of the three Egyptian Gods. When Pegasus decided to make the Egyptian Gods into cards, everyone involved in the project were killed the angered spirits of the Egyptian Gods (disappeared in the dub), so Pegasus decided to create the cards on his own, under the protection of his [[Millennium Eye]]. When Pegasus finished the artwork of the prototypes, he had a nightmare of the Egyptian Gods attacking the world. Shadi warned Pegasus that he angered the Egyptian Gods before they attacked him. Pegasus woke up injured after this nightmare and decided the cards were too powerful and dangerous to be mass-produced, so he had Ishizu Ishtar, the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities bury them in the Pharaoh's tomb.
| + | }} |
| | | | |
| − | [[Marik Ishtar]], the leader of the [[Rare Hunters]], was able to acquire "The Winged Dragon of Ra" and "Slifer the Sky Dragon" using the power of the [[Millennium Rod]], but Ishizu was able to protect "Obelisk the Tormentor" from him. Marik and his Rare Hunters tested counterfeit counterfeited copies of "The Winged Dragon of Ra". Some ended up being crippled, some lost their minds, and some even died the moment the card was played. Marik came to the conclusion that the Gods respond to the strength of heart of the [[Duelist]]s, of which none of the members of the experimental group had. To this end, he gave his adoptive brother [[Odion]] a copy of "Ra", reasoning that he would be able to control it due to his past as a servant of the [[Tomb Keeper]]s.

| − | ====[[Battle City]]====
| + | }} |
| − | During Ishizu's trip to [[Domino City]], she invited Seto Kaiba to the [[Domino City Museum]] where she held [[The Art of Egypt]] exhibition. She explained the Egyptian God cards, which would grant anyone who wielded all three of them the title of "[[King of Games (title)|King of Games]]", the Rare Hunters, and requested he would organize and host a ''Duel Monsters'' tournament in the city to lure the Rare Hunters and bring the other Egyptian God cards with them. Kaiba, intent on claiming the cards for himself to secure his title as the strongest Duelist, agreed, accepted "Obelisk the Tormentor" given to him by Ishizu, and organized the [[Battle City]] tournament.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Before the start of the tournament, Kaiba arranged a Duel with a [[Duel Machine (manga)|Duel Machine]] ([[Duel Robot]] in the anime) to test out the power of "Obelisk the Tormentor". Despite the machine gaining an early advantage with quickly Summoning Kaiba's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]s", Kaiba Summons "Obelisk", destroys the machine's monsters, and quickly depletes its [[Life Point]]s to 0. During the Battle City tournament, Kaiba Summons "Obelisk" to defeat [[Koji Nagumo]], which alerted Marik and the Rare Hunters to the location and identity of the card's user. "Obelisk" is Summoned during his [[Tag-Team Duel]]s with Yami Yugi against the Rare Hunters, including [[Lumis]] and [[Umbra]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | After Yugi defeats [[Arkana]], Marik used the Millennium Rod to possess Arkana, revealing to [[Yugi Muto]] his plan to collect the Egyptian God cards and get revenge on the Pharaoh. He also explained the three God cards and the [[Millennium Puzzle]] were required to unlock the Pharaoh's hidden memories. Using his mind puppet [[Strings]], Marik used "Slifer the Sky Dragon" against Yami Yugi, but he was ultimately defeated via [[Deck out]] by using the effect of "Slifer" against him. Yami Yugi obtains "Slifer" in accordance with Battle City's [[ante rule]]s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the tournament quarter-finals, Yami Yugi used "Slifer" for the first time to defeat [[Yami Bakura]]. During Odion's Duel against [[Joey Wheeler]], the former discovers that Marik placed a copy of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" in his [[Deck]] without his knowledge, telling him that usage of the card against Joey was needed to prove to those watching that Odion was Marik, who used the pseudonym "Namu" to keep his true identity secret. After Odion was struck down by "Ra's" rage for using a counterfeit of its card, Marik was taken over by Yami Marik, who Dueled [[Mai Valentine]] in the next round.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mai successfully took "The Winged Dragon of Ra" from Yami Marik's Deck with "[[Amazoness Chain Master]]" and Summoned it, but was unable to read the hieratic text on the card needed to recite to control it and remained in its [[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode|Sphere Mode]]. Yami Marik successfully took bak control of "Ra" by reciting its text, transformed it into its [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (Battle Mode)|Battle Mode]], and used it to defeat Mai.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the final round of the quarter-finals, Kaiba Dueled Ishizu, who entered the tournament to save her brother and reclaim "Obelisk" from Kaiba. Using her [[Millennium Necklace]] to foresee Kaiba's moves, Ishizu allowed him to Summon "Obelisk" with the intent to destroy it with "[[Blast Held by a Tribute]]", but a vision from Yami Marik's Millennium Rod convined Kaiba to win by [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Obelisk" and "[[Gadget Soldier]]" to Summon "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", thwarting Ishizu's strategy.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In an unofficial fifth Duel later that night, Yami Bakura Dueled Yami Marik. Yami Bakura used a combination of "[[Dark Designator]]" and "[[Multiple Destruction]]" to place "Ra" in the [[Graveyard]], apparently eliminating it, but later Yami Marik revived it with "[[Monster Reborn]]" and revealed its secret abilities ([[Instant Attack]] and [[Point-to-Point Transfer]]) to win the Duel. In the anime, Yami Bakura used "[[Exchange]]" to seize "The Winged Dragon of Ra" instead, and with the help of the spirit of the original Marik, he was able to Summon and control "Ra", but this was thwarted when Yami Marik decreased the ATK of the monsters used to [[Tribute Summon]] it to 0 with "[[Joyful Doom]]", leaving "Ra" with 0 ATK. Yami Bakura is forced to abandon "Ra", allowing Yami Marik to revive it and win the Duel with its secret abilities.

| |
| − | Yami Marik and Joey Dueled in the semi-finals, where Yami Marik revealed "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (Phoenix Mode)|Phoenix Mode]] and burned Joey, wounding so badly that he fell unconscious before he could finish the Duel. In the next Duel, Kaiba and Yami Yugi battled each other and Summoned their respective Egyptian Gods. Eventually, both "Obelisk" and "Slifer" battled with an equal match of 4000 [[ATK]] and destroyed each other in a [[Double KO]], triggering a vision of the Duel between [[Seto|Priest Seto]] and Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt, and a vision of their two Gods petrified. Yami Yugi was eventually able to win the Duel with "[[Dark Paladin]]", claiming "Obelisk".
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the final Duel against Yami Marik, Yami Yugi was able to Summon "Slifer" and "Obelisk", but it was revealed that "Ra" was stronger than the other God cards and defeated "Slifer" with ease. Yami Yugi was forced to sacrifice "Obelisk" to survive. Using the combined forces of "[[Dark Magician]]" and "[[Dark Magician Girl]]", (via "[[Magical Dimension]]" in the manga and "[[Ragnarok]]" in the anime), Yami Yugi destroyed "Ra" while Yami Marik was infused to it via its Point-to-Point Transfer effect. The original Marik regains control from his darker half, destroys it by [[surrender]]ing the Duel, and gave "Ra" to Yami Yugi.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====[[World of Memories]]====
| |
| − | Yami Yugi presented the Egyptian God cards to the [[Tablet of Lost Memories]] and entered the world of the Pharaoh's memories. In this reality, Yami Yugi acts as the Pharaoh in what is actually a role-playing Shadow Game orchestrated by Yami Bakura, who served as [[Bandit King Bakura]]. During Yami Yugi's battle with Yami Bakura, he summons the Egyptian Gods against [[Diabound]], which destroys "Slifer" and gains its power, but is destroyed by "Ra". Since the Summoning of "Ra" was as a result of outside interference from Yugi, Yami Bakura used his ability as a player of the Shadow RPG to rewind time and prevent the Summoning of "Ra". Yami Yugi later Summons the Egyptian Gods to battle Yami Bakura's true identity, [[Zorc Necrophades]], who defeats them and badly injures the Pharaoh. Upon learning his name, Yami Yugi (whose true name is revealed to be "Atem") uses it to merge the Gods into "[[Holactie the Creator of Light (character)|Holactie the Creator of Light]]", destroying Zorc and winning the Shadow RPG.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the battle between Yami Yugi and Yugi Muto during the [[Battle Ritual]] inside the Pharaoh's tomb, Yami Yugi quickly Summons the Egyptian God cards against Yugi, who is able to weaken and defeat them. When Yami Yugi uses "Monster Reborn" to revive "Slifer" from the Graveyard, Yugi negates it with "[[Gold Sarcophagus]]", allowing him to win the Duel. As Atem passes into the afterlife, the tomb collapses, causing the Egyptian God cards to be destroyed.

| |
| − | ====''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]''====
| |
| − | Prior to the series, Maximillion Pegasus created the [[Wicked God]] cards sometime after creating the Egyptian God cards to keep them in check. They were used by Pegasus's protégé [[Yako Tenma]], who claimed them to be the twins of the three "Egyptian God" cards, and that Pegasus himself was too afraid to produce them, but Yako completed them based on Pegasus's designs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yami Yugi Summoned "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (manga)|Slifer]]" during his first Duel against Yako. Yako then Summons "[[The Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]" whose spherical appearance reminded Yami Yugi and his friends of "[[The Sun Dragon Ra|Ra's]]" [[The Sun Dragon Ra - Sphere Mode|Sphere Mode]] before it transformed into a darker version of "Slifer". Yami Yugi attempted to use "Slifer's" [[ATK]]-draining effect on it, but it failed, as "The Wicked Avatar" shared the same [[hierarchy]] as "Ra" before it destroyed "Slifer". He later uses "Slifer" to offhandedly dispatch [[Cedar Mill]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yami Yugi briefly Summoned "Ra" during his second Duel against Yako to destroy "[[The Wicked Dreadroot (manga)|The Wicked Dreadroot]]", but the Summoning was negated by Yako with "[[The Selection (manga)|The Selection]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yami Yugi later Summoned "[[The God of the Obelisk|Obelisk]]" during his final Duel with Yako. During the battle against "The Wicked Avatar", "Obelisk" gains ∞ ATK via its effect and the effect of "The Wicked Avatar" forcibly matches the ATK. He then uses "[[Divine Evolution (manga)|Divine Evolution]]" to match its hierarchy with "The Wicked Avatar", transforming it into "[[Obelisk The Progenitor]] before destroying both monsters in a Double KO.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]''====
| |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]'', "Slifer the Sky Dragon" briefly appears in a flashback when he remembers the Ceremonial Duel with Atem.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During his Duel against [[Aigami|Diva]], Kaiba pulls "Obelisk" out of the ground and used it to reduce his Life Points to 1000 before the Duel abruptly ends.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime===
| |
| − | ====[[Virtual World (arc)|Virtual World]]====
| |
| − | The Egyptian God cards did not appear during the Virtual World arc, since [[The Big Five]] had the cards forbidden from their database that was used to choose a player's Deck.

| − | ====''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light]]''====
| |
| − | [[File:MOV Obelisk x Slifer and Ra.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The three "Gods" combined.]]
| |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light]]'', Yami Yugi uses the effect of "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (anime)|Obelisk]]" to Tribute "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (anime)|Slifer]]" and "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|Ra]]" and defeat Kaiba with infinite strength in a computer simulation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After Yami Yugi Summons "Slifer", Kaiba used "[[Obligatory Summon]]" to [[Special Summon]] "Obelisk and "Ra" from his Deck before activating "[[Pyramid of Light (anime)|Pyramid of Light]]" to [[banish]] the Egyptian God cards. Yami Yugi used the effect of "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]" to destroy "Pyramid of Light" and Special Summoned the God cards with "[[Return from the Different Dimension (anime)|Return from the Different Dimension]]". Yami Yugi uses "Obelisk's" effect to destroy [[Anubis]]' "[[Theinen the Great Sphinx (anime)|Theinen the Great Sphinx]]" and win the Duel.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====[[Waking the Dragons]]====
| |
| − | Before the World of Memories arc, Yami Yugi attempted to unlock the Tablet of Lost Memories with the Egyptian God cards, but the tablet is frozen over by the power of [[Dartz]], preventing him from regaining his memories.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The God cards are later stolen by Dartz's henchmen while [[Solomon Muto]] is caring for them, which then materialize over Domino City. [[Gurimo]] briefly uses "Obelisk" against Yami Yugi, and while it was successfully controlled by "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]", the combination of both cards' power caused Gurimo to suffer discomfort. After Yami Yugi destroys "Obelisk" and wins the Duel, Dartz's henchmen take the God cards to his temple where their energies were drained to fuel the revival of the [[Great Leviathan]]. During the final battle, the Egyptian Gods are retrieved by Yami Yugi, empowered with the light of Dartz's captives, and defeat the Great Leviathan in physical form.

| − | ===''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX''===
| |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', the dorms of [[Duel Academy]] are named after the God cards: [[Slifer Red]], [[Ra Yellow]] and [[Obelisk Blue]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The series also introduced the [[Sacred Beasts]], the evil and twisted counterparts of the Egyptian God cards.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The disgruntled [[Industrial Illusions]] card designer [[Franz]] stole a copy of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" created for testing purposes, and used it during the [[Genex Tournament]] held at [[Duel Academy]] and tracked down by Maximillion Pegasus (who confirmed that the God cards were indeed destroyed after Yami Yugi departed for the afterlife). [[Jaden Yuki]] Duels Franz, who quickly Summons "Ra" and restrains it with "[[Mound of the Bound Creator (anime)|Mound of the Bound Creator]]", causing it to cry. Despite Franz using the known abilities of "Ra" to gain an advantage, Jaden Summons "Ra" to his field, uses its Point-to-Point Transfer effect to increase its ATK, and win the Duel. After Franz's defeat, "Ra" dematerializes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the climax of Jaden's Duel with Yugi Muto, Yami Yugi appears and takes over, who Special Summons "Slifer" from his Graveyard.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's''===
| |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', the Egyptian God cards make a cameo when [[Taro]] compared the power of "[[Zushin the Sleeping Giant]]" with the Egyptian Gods.<ref>[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 121]]</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V''===
| |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', the [[Fusion Dimension]] [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] has an elite squad of Duelists called the [[Obelisk Force]]. They wear helmets similar to the face of "Obelisk the Tormentor". The dubbed version also maintains the dorms seen in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX''. It is unknown why they are named after "Obelisk" in this series, as no mention of the Egyptian God cards' existence has been made.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Anime and manga effects==
| |
| − | In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime, the Egyptian God cards share similar effects. They are unaffected by card effects that would directly remove them from the side of the field of their controller (i.e. "[[Brain Control]]", "[[Mirror Force]]"), they cannot be Tributed by the opponent, [[activated]] cards and effects will only work on them for one turn (i.e. Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "[[Monster Reborn]]"), and their effects are treated as attacks (i.e. "Obelisk's" damaging effect, "Slifer's" ATK-decreasing effect, "Ra's" Phoenix Mode activated), which means activating their effects will fulfill cards like "[[Surprise Attack from Beyond]]", and their effects cannot be activated when they cannot declare an attack (i.e. "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]").
| |
| | | | |
| − | Cards that apply their own effect to other cards can bypass the Egyptian Gods' inherent protection, like "[[Blast Held by a Tribute]]", which became a part of "Obelisk" after it was Summoned by Tributing "[[Zolga (manga)|Zolga]]" chosen by the card. During [[Seto Kaiba and Ishizu Ishtar's Duel]], Ishizu had a vision from her Millennium Necklace that she would have been able to destroy "Obelisk" with its effect.

| − | In addition to their Divine-Beast Type, the Egyptian God cards are sometimes stated to be different Types: "Obelisk" is a [[Warrior]], "Slifer" is a [[Dragon]], and "Ra" is a [[Machine]]. The three are classified as these Types in various video games such as ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction]]''. In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime, Yami Yugi's "[[Buster Blader]]" gains 500 ATK due to "Slifer" being treated as a Dragon monster.<ref name="dm66">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|66|ref}}</ref><ref name="duel173">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|173|ref}}</ref>

| − | ===In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga===
| |
| − | In the manga, the Egyptian God cards' [[Summoning condition]] requires three monsters to be [[Tribute]]d to be [[Tribute Summon]]ed in accordance to the [[Battle City Rules]] regarding Level 10 monsters. Prior to this, Kaiba Normal Summoned "Obelisk" without Tributing monsters in accordance to the Duelist Kingdom rules to Normal Summon monsters from their hand regardless of their [[Level]].<ref name="duel148">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|148|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Egyptian God cards possess a [[Hierarchy]] amongst themselves.<ref name="duel275">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|275|ref}}</ref> In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'', [[Yako Tenma]] explains this Hierachy to like a pyramid, with "[[The Sun Dragon Ra|Ra]]" at the top, and "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (manga)|Slifer]]" and "[[The God of the Obelisk|Obelisk]]" at the bottom as equals.<ref name="r2">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|2|ref}}</ref> The [[Wicked God]] cards also belong to this same Hierarchy.<ref name="r2" /> Only monsters that have the same Hierarchy or higher can affect the Egyptian God cards in the manga. Because of this, the effects of non-Egyptian God monsters do not work on them, like "Slifer" being immune to the effect of "[[Dark Necrofear (manga)|Dark Necrofear]]", and the effects of "Slifer" do not work on "Ra" or "[[The Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]", while the effects of "Obelisk" and "Slifer" will work on each other for one turn.<ref name="duel208">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|208|ref}}</ref><ref name="r2" /><ref name="duel265">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|256|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hierarchy also grants the Egyptian Gods protection in battle from monsters with lower Hierarchy, and its controller takes no [[battle damage]], shown when the attack of "Obelisk the Tormentor" do not work on "Ra".<ref name="duel275" /> However, an Egyptian God's Hierarchy can be increased with "[[Divine Evolution (manga)|Divine Evolution]]", making "Obelisk" able to destroy "Avatar" by battle.<ref name="r43">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|43|ref}}</ref> However, they can be [[destroyed by battle]] by any other means, such as any non-Egyptian God monsters (they do not have a Hierarchy), or card effects that also treat it as an attack, shown when Dark Yugi used "[[Dimension Magic (manga)|Dimension Magic]]" to combine the power of his "[[Dark Magician (manga)|Dark Magician]]" and "[[Dark Magician Girl (manga)|Dark Magician Girl]]" to destroy "Ra" during the climax of [[Dark Yugi and Dark Marik's Battle City Duel (manga)|Dark Yugi and Dark Marik's Battle City Duel]].<ref name="mw d 62">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|340|ref}}</ref>
| |

| − | They are also unaffected by [[Trap Card]]s and [[Virus Card]]s.<ref name="duel236">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|236|ref}}</ref><ref name="r30">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|30|ref}}</ref> This also extends when said cards are already active on the field, such as when Kaiba Summoned "Obelisk" while Aigami controls "[[Cubic Mandala (anime)|Cubic Mandala]]", implying that their shared effects are their card properties as [[Divine]] [[Alignment]] monsters.<ref name="dsod">''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]''</ref> However, they can still be affected by Trap Cards with magical effects (which can be destroyed by "[[De-Spell (manga)|De-Spell]]"), shown when Yami Yugi used "[[Spellbinding Circle (manga)|Spellbinding Circle]]" to weaken "Slifer's" ATK by 700 during [[Dark Yugi and the Doll's Duel (manga)|Dark Yugi and the Doll's Duel]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime===
| |
| − | In the anime, the Egyptian God cards shared an effect that changes the opponent's attack to them when they are Special Summoned in [[Defense Position]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The anime removes Hierarchy, making "Ra" vulnerable to the attacks and effects of "Slifer" and "Obelisk", with Yami Marik using "[[Class System]]" to save "Ra" during [[Yami Yugi and Yami Marik's Battle City Duel]], and "Slifer" being able to destroy "Ra" during the [[Battle Ritual]], though "Obelisk" cannot destroy "Slifer" with its effect during [[Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba's Battle City Duel]]. In the anime, the Egyptian Gods also can be affected by other monsters' effects, such as "[[Sword of Soul]]" during Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba's Battle City Duel. During [[Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura's Battle City Duel]] in anime, "[[Dark Sanctuary (anime)|Dark Sanctuary]]" is used in place of "Dark Necrofear", where in the anime, the Egyptian Gods cannot be equipped by the opponent's cards instead.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Egyptian Gods in the anime are vulnerable to certain cards such as "[[Ragnarok]]" which destroyed "Ra", "[[Magnet Force (anime)|Magnet Force]]" which redirected "Slifer's" effect, and "[[Pyramid of Light (anime)|Pyramid of Light]]" which [[banish]]ed them.<ref name="dm142">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|142|ref}}</ref><ref name="dm222">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|222|ref}}</ref><ref name="pyramid">''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light]]''</ref> However, they are immune to "[[Mirror Force (anime)|Mirror Force]]", and Yugi claimed "[[Ground Erosion]]" was able to both reduce the ATK of and negate the effects of "Obelisk" because it affected the [[Monster Zone]] that "Obelisk" was Summoned to, rather than "Obelisk" itself.<ref name="dm68">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|68|ref}}</ref><ref name="dm221">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|221|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Egyptian Gods in the anime seem to stay on field when Special Summoned by Trap Card, such as "[[Summoning Clock]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | According to the anime, only Duelists linked to the Ancient Egyptian past can control an Egyptian God card.<ref name="dm92">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|92|ref}}</ref> The only exceptions to this is when Gurimo controlled "Obelisk" using "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]", albeit not without discomfort.<ref name="dm146">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|146|ref}}</ref>, and when Franz restrained the replica of "Ra" with "Mound of the Bound Creator".<ref name="gx85">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|85|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Individual effects===
| |
| − | "Obelisk" can Tribute two monsters during either player's turn to activate two different effects. The first effect can increase its ATK to ∞ while it is in Attack Position, but after the effect resolves, it must attack, though it's also allowed to attack during the opponent's turn. After it has attacked, the ATK of "Obelisk" returns to its original value. The second effect can destroy the opponent's monsters and inflict damage to the opponent equal to its ATK.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Slifer" can increase its ATK/DEF by the number of cards in the player's hand x 1000. When an opponent Summons a monster, it attacks that monster immediately, reducing that monster's ATK or DEF by 2000, depending on if it is in Attack or Defense Position. If that monster's ATK or DEF equals 0 as a result, it is destroyed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Ra", regardless of its Summoning methods, will remain in its Sphere Mode unless the player recites the hieratic text written on the card, which is printed in an ink that can only be seen under its light. While "Ra" is in its Sphere Mode, it cannot attack, use its effects, or be targeted for attacks, but it does not prevent the opponent from attacking directly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Ra's" power is divided into several effects. Its first effect, upon being Tribute Summoned, allows its ATK/DEF become the combined total of the Tributed monsters. Its second effect, [[Point-to-Point Transfer]], allows the player to pay all but 1 of their Life Points or Tribute any other monsters they control to increase its ATK/DEF by the same amount of Life Points paid or the monsters' combined ATK/DEF during either player's turn, and it could be done multiple times.<ref name="duel275" /> The player's body will then merge with "Ra" on its forehead jewel. The player can also use "[[De-Fusion]]" to undo the merge, reduce "Ra's" ATK/DEF to 0, and gain Life Points equal to the amount of ATK lost. Both effects cannot be used while "Ra" is in its Egyptian God Phoenix Mode. Its third effect, [[Instant Attack]], allows it to become unaffected by card effects and conditions that would prevent it from attacking. It can attack all of the opponent's monsters, followed by attacking the opponent directly. Its fourth effect allows it to transform into [[Egyptian God Phoenix]], which prevents it from being destroyed by battle and the player from taking battle damage, makes it immune to card effects, and it can attack and destroy a monster by paying 1000 Life Points.

| − | ==''OCG/TCG'' cards==
| |
| − | Each Egyptian God has two separate versions in the physical card game: an [[illegal]] version that cannot be used in official tournaments, and a [[legal]] version that can. Each version of the Egyptian God cards has seen [[reprint]]s.

| − | ===Legal prints===
| |
| − | All three of the Egyptian God cards have received legal prints as [[Effect Monster]]s. The legal "Obelisk" and "Slifer" possess effects virtually identical to their video game effects, while the legal version of "Ra" has its effects severely weakened (it cannot be Special Summoned, does not gain ATK equal to the total ATK of the monsters Tributed for its Tribute Summon, and its Point-to-Point Transfer effect can only be used upon its Normal Summoning, thus limiting the player's choice and making it incompatible with its "Phoenix" effect).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The only immunity of "Obelisk" was that it cannot be targeted by card effects, whereas the two other "God" Cards can be destroyed by anything. The immunity of the Egyptian Gods was later introduced as part of the effect of "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]".

| − | ==Playing style==
| |
| − | Egyptian Gods Decks focus on Tribute Summoning the three Egyptian God monsters and supporting them with their dedicated support cards. Egyptian God support cards either support the monsters individually, or support their DIVINE Attribute or Divine-Beast Typing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Egyptian God support cards focus on searching out the Egyptian Gods and providing Tribute for ther 3-Tribute requirement for Normal Summoning, and secondarily focus on providing powerful effects if the player controls the Egyptian God monsters. Key searchers for the Egyptian Gods include "[[Soul Energy MAX!!]]" (if it is in the GY, which can be done with "[[Foolish Burial Goods]]") for Obelisk, "[[Thunderspeed Summon]]" for Slifer and Ra (requires setup of [[Three Musketeers of Face Cards]]), and "[[Ancient Chant]]" for Ra.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Egyptian God support cards that provide Tribute include "[[Reactor Slime]]" and "[[Egyptian God Slime]]". "[[Soul Crossing]]" allows a Spell Speed 2 Tribute Summon of an Egyptian God using the opponent's monsters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once on the field, the Egyptian Gods have [[signature move]] cards, as well as other monster-specific support cards, that provide more powerful interactions beyond the monsters' individual effects. Slifer is supported by "[[Thunderforce Attack]]", Obelisk is supported by "[[Fist of Fate]]", and Ra is supported by "[[Blaze Cannon]]". Other general on-field support cards for Egyptian Gods include "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]" and "[[Divine Evolution]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Multiple Egyptian God support cards, including "[[Dark Spell Regeneration]]", "[[Magical Trick Mirror]]", "[[Ultimate Divine-Beast]]", and "[[Millennium Revelation]]", provide revival for Egyptian God monsters in the Graveyard. Notably, several of them specifically require interacting with "[[Monster Reborn]]" to function.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Typically, Egyptian God Decks focus on a single Egyptian God and its support, as their support are specific to themselves and lack synergy between them. Notably, Ra has a search card for its [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (series)|support cards]], "[[Guardian Slime]]", making its strategy relatively more consistent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Weaknesses===
| |
| − | * The Egyptian Gods have little [[field]] protection, and can be easily removed by removal cards like "[[Raigeki]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The Egyptian Gods require a hefty investment to consistently search out and summon, meaning that it is easy to disrupt their summoning process by removing their monster Tributes or by negating their searches with "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]".

| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3]]'', they can be obtained only if the player has ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 1'' and ''2''.

| − | In ''Spirit Caller'', the game must be connected with ''Nightmare Troubadour'' in order to obtain them. Since it is possible to "trade" between ''Nightmare Troubadour'', ''Spirit Caller'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007]]'' by buying cards from ''Nightmare Troubadour'', it is possible to have the "Egyptian God" cards in any of these games. Additionally, in ''Spirit Caller'', the player can see the "Egyptian God" Cards by unlocking [[Yami Yugi]].

| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2008]]'', they can only be obtained via the Card Download function, like with "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]".

| |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator]]'', "Obelisk" is an Effect Monster, but "Slifer" and "Ra" are their own individual Monster Card types, unseen in the game's navigational menus. They are all Level 10, DIVINE Attribute, Divine-Beast Type, and cannot be targeted by cards or effects. The Summon of an Egyptian God card cannot be negated, and cards cannot be activated in response to their Summon. Each Egyptian God card requires three Tributes to be Normal Summoned, and cannot be Set. If Special Summoned, they are destroyed during the End Phase.

| − | ==Trivia==
| |
| − | * In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga nd the Japanese version of the anime, the card text of the Egyptian Gods (except the Hieratic text of "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (manga)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]") is written in English, likely due to the one-of-a-kind cards being created by Maximillion Pegasus, who is from the United States of America.
| |
| − | ** However, they are still referred to their Japanese names, rather than the English names printed on the cards.
| |
| − | ** The anime uses a slightly different card layout as well, likely due to not being finished as a result of the curse associated with them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Each of the Egyptian God cards in the ''OCG''/''TCG'' are focused on a certain play-style:
| |
| − | ** "Obelisk" is offensive, using its 4000 ATK & DEF combined with its [[target]]ing immunity to destroy everything and overwhelm the opponent.
| |
| − | ** "Slifer" is defensive, using its effects to weaken and destroy Summoned monsters to compensate for its fluctuating ATK/DEF.
| |
| − | ** "Ra" is [[One Turn Kill|OTK]] based, using its effect to significantly increase it ATK to enormous Levels, and potentially defeat the opponent that turn. Alternatively, using its destruction effect can aid in allowing for other monsters to do so.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * In the manga, "Ra" is the only Egyptian God Card that was never Summoned by Yami Yugi.
| |
| − | ** In the anime, however, Yami Yugi Summons "Ra" during his Ceremonial Duel against Yugi Muto.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * The Egyptian Gods have spawned many trinities of powerful cards that tend to be important in the series they have been featured in. These include the following:

| |
| − | ** The [[Wicked God]]s from ''Yu-Gi-Oh! R''
| |
| − | ** The [[Sacred Beast]]s from the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' anime
| |
| − | ** The "[[Aesir]]" from the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds'' anime
| |
| − | ** [[Eve]]'s three boss monsters, "[[Phantasm Emperor Trilojig]]", "[[Timelord Progenitor Vorpgate]]", and "[[Number XX: Infinity Dark Utopic]]", as well as the [[G.O.D. (series)|G.O.D.]] series from the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'']] manga.

| |
| − | * The illegal prints of the Egyptian God cards once demanded high prices on the secondary market. This was prior to their current widespread availability. During this time, countless counterfeit copies were made and distributed primarily throughout East Asia.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * In the Filipino anime, "Ra's" name is changed to "[[wikipedia:Apollo|Apollo]]", the Greek equivalent of Ra.
| |

| |
| − | * The ranks of the dorms in the [[Duel Academy]], named after the Egyptian Gods, reflects how [[Seto Kaiba]] viewed the three cards:
| |
| − | ** Slifer Red is the lowest rank, as "Slifer" was owned by [[Yugi Muto]], his arch-rival.
| |
| − | ** Ra Yellow is the middle rank, as "Ra" was owned by [[Marik Ishtar]], whom Kaiba was neutral to.
| |
| − | ** Obelisk Blue is the top rank, as "Obelisk" was owned and prized by Kaiba himself.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * In the Basic Game Play FAQ on the [http://www.upperdeckentertainment.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/basicgameplay/default.aspx Former Official UDE Web Site] there was a question that asked "What do the Egyptian god cards do?" and it was answered with "Nothing. They're not legitimate Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game cards. They have no effects and can't be used in your Deck".
