"'''Forbidden One'''", known as "'''Sealed'''" ({{Infobox/Archetype/EndRuby|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]].

In the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, '''"Exodia the Forbidden One''', known as '''Sealed Exodia''' in the OCG, " 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[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" was extremely hard to obtain (all five pieces were 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 "ExodiaForbidden One" is one of cards were the only monsters ever specifically mentioned in the few cards that can actually declare rulebooks (other than as an automatic win. Others include "[[Destiny Board]]"example), due to "[[Final Countdown]]", "[[Exodius Exodia the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]One", being the only card with an alternative victory condition at the time. "[[Last Turn]]", "[[Vennominaga Exodia the Deity of Poisonous Snakes]]Forbidden One" and is no longer mentioned in the rulebook, as its [[Match Winnercard text]]s archetypesuffices to clarify its effect.

NotablyOriginally, the complete "ExodiaForbidden 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 waslesser rarities, however, prior making a complete set easy to other cards being released with effects that declared an automatic winobtain. Often "Exodiathe Forbidden One" has since been removed from is printed as an Ultra Rare and the rulebookslimbs 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 effects written on the head are sufficient enoughproduct receives a full set.

==Lore==[[ImageFile: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"). This way, his power was prevented from ever being used again.

As a result, in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' card game, there are five distinct "ExodiaForbidden One" was, at firstcards, each one symbolizing a beast part of such incalculable and intimidating might that he was split up the complete "Exodia". In order for "Exodia" to be Summoned, the player must gather all the five parts into five distinctive their hand. This brings the parts - each one of them chained and sealed away by magic from all the other monsters (hence "The Forbidden One"). This would prevent together, allowing "Exodia" to come forth, his power from ever strength being used again. It was used by [[Shimon]] against Zorc Necrophades, against whom so great that he was equal-howeverguarantees the player an automatic win, Exodia was defeated due to regardless of the fact that Shimon is a mortal man whereas Zorc has his own power sourcesituation.

As a result, in the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, there are five distinctive The effect of "Exodia "cards, each makes it one symbolizing a part of the complete "Exodia". In 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 for "Exodia" to regain his tremendous poweractivate, instead causing an immediate victory when all of the five cards must be reunited are assembled 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.

The effect of The Forbidden One makes it one of In the most godlike monsters amid normal ones in Duel Monsters''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga and anime, [[Shimon]] used Exodia against [[Zorc Necrophades]], against whom he was equal; unlike the rest of the monsters used in duelshowever, "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 handwas defeated because he drew his power from Shimon, a single mortal man, the owner winswhereas Zorc had his own power source.

==Exodia cardsOrigin==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==[[ImageFile:Complete_Bandai_ExodiaComplete Bandai Exodia.jpg|thumb|300px|Complete Bandai version of "Exodia the Forbidden One"]]{{main|Exodia}}

* '''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 [[Exodia send|sent]] from either the hand or Deck to the Graveyard and it gains 1000 ATK for each [[Normal Monster]] in the Graveyard. Should all five "Forbidden One" monsters be sent to the Graveyard via the effect of "Exodius", the player automatically wins the Duel. 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 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 addition, there is "[[Right Arm Exxod, Master of the Forbidden OneThe 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".

* '''Finally, "[[Left Arm True Exodia]]" provides an alternate win condition for its controller's opponent, as long as the only monsters on the field are itself and 1 each of the 4 "Forbidden One" [[Normal Monster]]"'''s.

* ==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 "Exodia" cards were notable for never successfully being played until Yami Yugi was able to assemble all five pieces during his Duel against [[Seto Kaiba]] in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|001|ref}}. Afterwards, "[[Right Leg of Exodia the Forbidden One(character)|Exodia]]"appeared on the field and launched an attack powerful enough to simultaneously wipe out all of Kaiba'''s "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragons]]", allowing Yugi to win the Duel.

* However, in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|003|ref}}, during 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 [[Left Leg of the Forbidden OneJoey Wheeler]], only two pieces were recovered, but Yugi has never used the "'''Exodia" cards again.

===Other cards=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 the 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).

While "====Virtual World arc====Gozaburo Kaiba used an Exodia's" primary purpose is to declare an automatic win through having all five piecesDeck against Seto Kaiba, there have been other methods to using and believed that since Yugi had defeated Kaiba with "Exodia", Kaiba would fear it. The first Instead of these was collecting the various "Forbidden One" monsters in his hand, Gozaburo sent them to his Graveyard so he could Summon "[[Exodia Necross]]"; however, which had Kaiba was able to be summoned via overcome his fears and saw the weakness in "[[Contract with Exodia]]Necross". It is a , and so he [[zombiebanish]]fied version of "Exodia" ("Necro" is Greek for dead), and possessing the near-invulnerability of ed the anime version of "Exodia" as long as the actual Forbidden One"Exodia" pieces remain monsters in the [[Graveyard]]. It gains 500 ATK during each of the player's using "[[Standby Phase]]s and cannot be destroyed in battle or by [[Spell CardsSoul Demolition (anime)|SpellSoul Demolition]] ", and [[Trap Cards|Trap]] effects. It is automatically destroyed if any of the five thus rendered "ExodiaNecross" pieces do not exist in the Graveyard. Due to it's near-invincibility and increasing strength, it serves as either a trump card that cannot be defeated or as a backup plan if too many pieces of Exodia end up in the graveyardpowerless.

The next such incarnation was "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]", which provided an alternate method of winning with "ExodiaNecross'"effect was marginally different in the anime. It gained a different effect for each "ExodiusExodia" can only be Summoned by returning all monsters piece in your the Graveyard . It became immune to your Deck. When Spell and Trap Card effects when the "ExodiusLeft Leg" attacks, you are required to send a monster from either your hand or your Deck to the Graveyard. and "ExodiusRight Leg" gains 1000 ATK for were each in the Graveyard; it became immune to [[Normal MonsterCard]] in your Graveyard. Should all five pieces of effects if the "ExodiaLeft Arm" exist was in player's the Graveyard as a result of being sent there via "Exodius'" effect, the player automatically wins the duel. Since ; it gained 1000 [[ATK]] during [[damage calculation]] if the limbs of "ExodiaRight Arm" are Normal Monsters, being sent there via Exodius' effect powers up "Exodius", allowing you to maintain field presence, while also contributing to the possibility of an automatic win. Since its Summoning condition puts monsters from was in the Graveyard back into your Deck, ; and it allows the possibility of an automatic win even couldn't be destroyed by battle if "Exodia pieces are sent to the Forbidden One" was in the Graveyard, and in fact makes it ''beneficial'' to send them there again.

In addition, there is "====Dawn of the Duel arc====Exodia makes one final appearance in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|216|ref}} as the [[Exxod, Master Ka]] spirit of The Guard[[Shimon Muran]]. Shimon had sealed " who greatly resembles Exodia although he has no automatic win effect" a long time ago away due to its godly strength, but released him to engage in battle with [[Zorc Necrophades]]. In the same vein as Despite a strong effort, "Exodia"Necrosswas defeated by Zorc, because " being Exodia" drew his power from Shimon, while Zorc used the deceased version power of the darkness. Initially, both of them seemed imperishable, but as "Exodia's"life force was drawn from Shimon, any damage caused to "ExxodExodia" resembles was also caused to Shimon himself, and Shimon, a completed sole mortal, wasn't able to stand up to the power of Zorc. This allowed the demon to easily cleave "Exodia" while still sealedin half, killing Shimon in the process.

==Exodia in =''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX''===During the third season of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime series==, "Exodia" was used by two separate Duelists.

In 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 [[Yu-Gi-Oh! second series animeEcho]], the "Exodia" cards were notable for never having been played until whom he loved, but was opposed by [[Yugi MutoAster Phoenix]] . The two Dueled and Aster was able to assemble all five pieces during his duel against block Adrian from achieving the victory condition of "Exodia" using "[[Seto KaibaForce of Four]] during ." Adrian, however, made a comeback using "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 001Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord (anime)|episode 1Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]". Echo willingly sacrificed herself to release "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 attackdespite Aster coming close to victory, prompted by the line 'Hellfire's Rage, Exodo Flame!" (Adrian was able to Summon "Exodia, Obliterate" in by using the dub) from Yugi. The attack wiped out all three victory condition of Seto's "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]sExodius" and reduced his Life Points to zero.

However, Yugi never 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]]"Exodia, whose effect defeated him as she attacked " cards again in the series because [[Weevil UnderwoodTorch Golem (anime)|Torch Golem]] threw them overboard ". Adrian would have won during the boat trip to Duelist Kingdom (while saying his next turn, as he had four different "This is my strategy!Forbidden One") monsters in his hand and despite was about to draw the best efforts fifth, which was placed on top of his Deck by using "[[Joey WheelerA Feather of the Phoenix (anime)|A Feather of the Phoenix]] only two pieces were recovered".

[[File:ANIME-Exodia-CardsIn the anime, the effect of "Exodius" effect was marginally different.jpg|thumb|left|300px|It needed be Summoned via "[[Weevil UnderwoodRitual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]] holding all 5 pieces of Exodia" 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, as given and it could only send "Forbidden One" monsters from the Deck or hand to him by Yugi during [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 003|episode 3]]]]the Graveyard when it attacked.

===''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's''===In the English dubbed version of the ''[[Battle CityYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]] arc'' anime, [[SeekerYusei Fudo]] of compared the "[[Rare HuntersEarthbound Immortals]] uses " to "Exodia" to defeat Joey in a duel. In the duel against Yugi that follows, though he was likely using the Rare Hunter almost wins, but is defeated when Yugi is able to wipe out every single copy size and similar body shapes of "[[Exodia the Forbidden One]]" in his Deck using and "[[Chain DestructionEarthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu (anime)|Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu]]." Following this, Yugi rips up the Exodia cards (for different reasons between the original and dub. In the original, the cards were counterfeits. In the dub, the Exodia cards were real, but they were marked with invisible ink so the Rare Hunter knew when he would draw one)as his main comparison.

==Video games=====''Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum''===In the ''[[Virtual WorldYu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum]] 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 player could fuse the five pieces of "Exodia" in his hand, he sends them to his Graveyard so he can Summon "[[The Legendary Exodia NecrossIncarnate]]". Kaiba is able to overcome his fears and see , the weakness in "complete Exodia Necross" and removes , (but it will be only like a normal fusion piece) with an ability to cause massive damage on the "Exodia" parts monsters that was in the Graveyard [[Removed from play|from play]] using "[[Soul Demolition]]"range, thus rendering that was known by "NecrossObliterate" powerless.
