==StoryAppearances=====''Yu-Gi-Oh! R''===In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'', these cards are revealed to have been designed by [[Maximillion J. Pegasus (manga)|Maximillion J. Pegasus]] in secret some time after creating the [[Egyptian God|God cards]] cards. He made the rudimentary designs for the three cards in an attempt to keep the Egyptian Gods in check, but feared their immense power, and never completed their production. Like their Egyptian God counterparts, the cards were never released to the public.

The Wicked God cards, like their Egyptian God counterparts, were never released to the public. [[Yako Tenma]] later completed the cards based on what Pegasus left behind, and named them the "Wicked Gods", and used them to enact revenge on [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi Mutou]] for the death of Pegasus. Once he touched "[[The Wicked Avatar(manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]", the card possessed him, damaging his mind and giving him a need feeding that desire for revenge. Yako would spend some time 'testing' to the cards, including his first Duel against Yugi. He also possessed his brother, [[Gekko Tenma]] to test "The Wicked Dreadroot". Tenma would also revive [[Keith Howard]] and presented him with "[[The Wicked Eraser]]" exclusion of all else; in addition to use in his Deck. He used both "The Wicked Avatar," and the Wicked Dreadroot," at the same time against [[Seto Kaiba]]. During his final battle against Yugipossessing Yako, it allowed Yako used both "The Wicked Eraserto possess others," and "The Wicked Avatarsuch as his brother," in quick successionGekko.

The Wicked God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep spent some time 'testing' the Egyptian God cards in line. The Gods seemed to be able to revive the dead, since Yako was able including his first Duel against Yugi; he also possessed his brother, [[Gekko Tenma]], to revive Keith Howard using the cards. test "[[The Wicked Dreadroot (manga)|The three Wicked Gods were in fact primarily used in Dreadroot]]". Yako's attempt to revive Pegasus. By linking also revived [[Anzu Mazaki Keith Howard (manga)|Anzu MazakiKeith Howard]] to the Gods, and using presented him with "[[The Wicked Eraser (manga)|The Wicked AvatarEraser]]" as a medium, to use in his Deck; Yako would have revived Pegasus' spirit. This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the himself also used both "The Wicked Avatar" using an enhanced and "The Wicked Dreadroot" at the same time against [[Obelisk The ProgenitorSeto Kaiba (manga)|Seto Kaiba]], and during his final battle against Yugi, Yako used both ". In addition to The Wicked Eraser" and "The Wicked Avatar" possessing Yako, it allowed Yako to possess others, such as his brother, Gekkoin quick succession.

Unlike The Wicked God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, and are stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep the Egyptian God cardsin line; the Gods seemed to be able to revive the dead, since Yako was able to revive Keith Howard using the Wicked Gods were at least produced in duplicatescards, as both Gekko and they were a major component of Yako possessed one copy of "'s attempt to revive Pegasus by linking [[The Wicked DreadrootAnzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu Mazaki]]" each, while Keith to the Gods and Yako both possessed one copy of using "The Wicked EraserAvatar" each; this makes as a medium. This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the "Avatar" using an enhanced "[[Obelisk The Wicked AvatarProgenitor]]" the only Wicked God to be unique, specifically to Yako. After Gekko's defeat, he tore up his Wicked God, and after Yako lost, he tore up his. As such, presumably only Keith still has his Wicked God card.

==Comparison to Unlike the Egyptian Gods==These God cards share the Hierarchy System with their counterparts (e.g., among the [[Egyptian Wicked Gods|Egyptian God Cards]] "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" were at least produced in duplicates, as both Gekko and Yako possessed one copy of "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]The Wicked Dreadroot" were Hierarchy 1each, while Keith and Yako both possessed one copy of "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]Wicked Eraser" each; this makes " was Hierarchy 2), with [[The Wicked Avatar]] higher than the other two. It is also known that they share the remainder of the "[[Divine]]" traits with the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian only Wicked God Cards]]. Like the hierarchy of the Egyptian Gods in the manga, the Wicked Avatar (who is at the top) cannot to be destroyed by the other two godsunique, as well as being invincible against Obelisk the Tormentor specifically to Yako. Both Yako and Slifer the Sky Dragon.* [[The Wicked Dreadroot]] - A dark counterpart Gekko tore up their copies after their final defeats; Keith is not seen destroying his copy of [[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]. He looks human shaped with wings like Obelisk and the same [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] as Obelisk too.* [["The Wicked Eraser]] - A dark counterpart of ", but during his duel against [[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]. He looks like a twin-mouthed dragon, just like Slifer Katsuya Jonouchi (in the manga, both appear to have no hind limbs). He also shares a similar ATK-gaining effect.* [[The Wicked Avatar]] - A dark counterpart of [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]. He looks like [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (Sphere Mode)Katsuya Jonouchi]]. One key difference he would constantly complain that must be noted, however, is "Eraser" doesn't fit with his Machine deck and heavily implies that these are intended as the '''opposites''' of the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]]. Hence, while both are [[DIVINE]]-[[Attribute]], the kanji is placed against the [[LIGHT]]-Attribute symbol for the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]], but against the [[DARK]]-Attribute coloration for the Wicked God Cards. In order he only uses it because Yako has forced him to avoid a repetition of the unplayability issue which surrounds the [[DIVINE]]/[[Divine-Beast]]-[[Type]] [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]] however, Konami has made the "real world" cards [[DARK]]/[[Fiend]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Cards|monsters]].

====Comparison to the Egyptian Gods====In the manga, these cards were [[Divine-Beast|God]]-[[Type]]; they were released as [[DARK]] [[Fiend]]-Type monsters in the ''TCG''/''OCG''. Their manga versions share the [[Hierarchy]] System with their counterparts (e.g., among the Egyptian Gods "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" and "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (original)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" were Hierarchy 1, while "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" was Hierarchy 2), with "The Wicked Avatar" higher than the other two. It is also known that they share the remainder of the Divine traits with the Egyptian Gods. Like the hierarchy of the Egyptian Gods in the manga, the Wicked Avatar (who is at the top) cannot be destroyed by the other two gods, as well as being invincible against "Obelisk" and "Slifer". Unlike the "Egyptian God cards Gods" or "[[Sacred Beast]] cardss", there is no combined form of the "Wicked Gods do not have a fourth, combined member".

==Play Style=====Strategy===* "[[The Wicked Gods themselves possess high-unstoppable effects that can easily turn Dreadroot]]": It is a winged humanoid giant akin to "Obelisk the game in your favor, but Tormentor" and they are considerably harder to get out than their share the same [[Sacred Beasts|Sacred BeastATK]] Counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, they are not special summons. They also require 3 tributes each and cannot be used with [[Mausoleum of the EmperorDEF]]. Thus, Its effects are also the reverse of that of "Obelisk". The effect of "Obelisk" that Tributes the controller's own monsters who survive battlesto destroy the opponent's, ones with high def, or those who you can special summon/summon multiple copies while the effect of in a single turn should be used, or "Dreadroot" affects all other monsters that can not be destroyed by battleand instead lowers their ATK. * "[[Double CostonThe Wicked Eraser]]": It is a twin-mouthed dragon, just like "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (in the manga, both appear to have no hind limbs). It also has effects that are the reverse of that of "Slifer", while being neither of these"Slifer" gains points for every card in its controller's hand, counts as two tributes"Eraser, " gains points for every card on the opponent's field (a trait which is excellent as leads Seto Kaiba to insult it reduces in the Gods back down to two tributersmanga). Ideally you should use it In addition, the destruction effect of "Slifer" activates only when you can summon more than once in another monster is added to (the opponent's side of) to the field, and only targets a single turnmonster, such as with whereas the destruction effect of "Eraser" activates when it is destroyed and destroys all cards on the field. * "[[Double SummonThe Wicked Avatar]] or ": It closely resembles "[[Ultimate OfferingThe Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]], and have at least one other monster to tribute". Monsters that summon multiple copies The effect of "Avatar" is the reverse of the effect of "The Winged Dragon of themselvesRa", such as [[Nimble Momonga]] and [[Hyena]]which has several effects to gain ATK, are also good. Cards that summon tributable tokens and Trap monsters are especially usefulwhile "Avatar" only has one, as where the former can rapidly generate tribute fodder while ATK of this card was only one point higher than the latter can be strongest monster, and "Ra" used all but one of your Life Points for its effect, as well as both a surprise defense gaining ATK by sacrificing monsters (including its Tributes) in the anime and as readily accessible tribute fodder manga (this is even more useful if you have both were changed to 100 for the TCG/OCG). In other words, "Double CostonRa" needs monsters and Life Points sacrificed to be stronger, whereas "Double SummonAvatar", as the two cards can needs monsters alive to be used in conjunction with an already-set Trap Monster to instantly bring out the Wicked God)stronger.

==Gallery=====Card forms===<gallery>TheWickedDreadroot-EN-Manga-R.png | [[The Wicked Dreadroot (manga)|The Wicked Gods themselves lack Spell and Trap protection, thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent who uses a lot of monster removalDreadroot]]TheWickedEraser-EN-Manga-R. "Royal Decree" can help, as png | [[The Wicked Gods tend to be somewhat attack oriented and it would be devastating to run into "Sakuretsu Armor", "Mirror Force", or "Magic Cylinder"Eraser (manga)|The Wicked Eraser]]TheWickedAvatar-EN-Manga-R. However, "Royal Decree" will prevent you from using Trap Cards. In a pinch, however, you can use "png | [[Interdimensional Matter TransporterThe Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]" to momentarily save a Wicked God from destruction.</gallery>

As mentioned before, ===Monster forms===<gallery>TheWickedDreadroot-JP-Manga-R-NC.png | [[The Wicked Gods themselves are attack oriented Dreadroot ("manga)|The Wicked Eraser" being an exception). Since they already have exorbitant attacks, "[[Big Bang ShotDreadroot]]" and "TheWickedEraser-JP-Manga-R-NC.png | [[Fairy Meteor CrushThe Wicked Eraser (manga)|The Wicked Eraser]]" can help to inflict massive damageTheWickedAvatar-JP-Manga-R-NC. They are also excellent candidates for cards such as "png | [[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]]" and "[[Shooting Star Bow - Ceal]]", as their ATKs will be sufficiently high enough to not be hampered by the attack loss. Be aware of the effect of "The Wicked Avatar": its stats are based on the highest ATK on the field, not DEF. Thus do not run into random face-down monsters unless you have a reasonably high ATK, as their destruction will not be ensured otherwise.(manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]</gallery>

==Playing style==The "The Wicked EraserGods" is designed to punish themselves possess nigh-unstoppable effects that can easily turn the opponent for swarming and setting cardsgame in your favor, gaining [[ATK]] for each card under but they are considerably harder to get out than their control, and wiping the field if it's destroyed. This is especially effective against Crystal "Sacred Beasts, Zombies, and any other deck that requires either massive field presence or swarming" counterparts. If your opponent While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, they are not like to swarm, Special Summons. They also require 3 Tributes each and cannot be used with "[[Ojama TrioMausoleum of the Emperor]]". Thus, [[Nightmare Archfiends]]monsters who survive battles, ones with high DEF, and any other cards that summon monsters to your opponent's field or causes them to set many cards. "Gilasaurus" is particularly good for this, as three those who you can Special Summon/Summon multiple copies of them can give you exactly the amount for this card's summoningin a single turn should be used, as well as giving your opponent 3 or monsters, at least 3000 ATK for "Eraser". "Inferno Reckless Summon" that can do the samenot be destroyed by battle.

As you are likely to exhaust many resources with With the summoning exception of one God, "Pot of Avarice[[The Wicked Avatar]]" might be a good choice. This can be especially deadly combined with "Nimble Momonga" and any other searcher monsters, as their effects makes the drawback of deck thickening almost nonexistent. The Wicked Gods themselves cannot be special summonedlack Spell and Trap protection, so this is and thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent who uses a good way to recycle them back into lot of monster removal. "[[March of the Deck without having to use a dedicated card for Monarchs]]" and "[[Mound of the jobBound Creator]]" can help.

Another version of this deck "The Wicked Eraser" is designed to use your opponents cards against them. This version of punish the deck is very devastating as you can summon all of the [[Wicked God]]s using your opponent's monsters. It has one main lockdown combo combining "The Wicked Dreadroot" for swarming and "The Wicked Avatar" along with copies of "setting cards, gaining [[Stealth BirdATK]]" for each card under their control, and "[[Yata-Garasu]]"wiping the field if it's destroyed.

Yet another version of this Deck is [[Premium Pack 2021]] released support cards designed to integrate aid in the swarming effect Summoning of Zombies to make summoning the Wicked Gods even faster. With "[[Double CostonAngel O1]]" as can be Special Summoned by revealing a Level 4 Zombie that can benefit from 7 or higher monster in the hand, and also allows an extra Normal Summon/Set, while "[[MezukiTellus the Little Angel]]" and can quickly Summon multiple Tokens to aid in the revival effects Summoning of the Gods. "[[Zombie MasterDivine Evolution]]", you can summon fast, hit hard, and protect your be used with the three Wicked God from being destroyed by Synchro Summoning "Gods in addition to [[Stardust DragonDivine-Beast]]"monsters, providing them with additional ATK and preventing their effects from being negated.
