The '''Wicked Gods''' ({{Ruby|邪|じゃ}}{{Ruby|神|しん}} ''Jashin'', lit. "Evil God"), also known as either the '''Evil Gods''' or '''Jashin''' in the English VIZ translationof ''Yu-Gi-Oh! R'', are a [[series]] of [[Level]] 10 [[DARK]]-[[Attribute]], [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] who were originally featured in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'' manga; these cards formed the dark counterparts of the [[Egyptian God]] Cards. All members of this series have ? [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] (except "[[The Wicked Dreadroot]]", who has 4000 ATK and DEF).

==Story==In Several other cards include ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]Jashin'', these cards are revealed to have been designed by [[Maximillion Pegasus]] in secret some time after creating the [[Egyptian God]] 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. The Wicked Gods, 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 GodsJapanese names (such as ", and used them to enact revenge on [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi Mutou]] for the death of Pegasus. Once he touched "The Wicked Avatar", the card possessed him, damaging his mind and giving him a need for revenge. Yako would spend some time 'testing' Nuvia 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]]" to use in his Deck. He used both "[[The Wicked Avatar]]" and the "[[Wicked Dreadroot]]" at the same time against [[Seto KaibaMalevolent Catastrophe]]. During his final battle against Yugi, Yako used both "The Wicked Eraser," and "The Wicked Avatar," in quick succession. The Wicked God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep the Egyptian God cards in line. The Gods seemed to be able to revive the dead, since Yako was able to revive Keith Howard using the cards. The three Wicked Gods were in fact primarily used in Yako's attempt to revive Pegasus. By linking [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu Mazaki]] to the Gods, and using "The Wicked Avatar" as a medium, Yako would have revived Pegasus' spirit. This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the "Avatar" using an enhanced "[[Obelisk The Progenitor]]". In addition but they are unrelated to "Avatar" possessing Yako, it allowed Yako to possess others, such as his brother, Gekko. Unlike the Egyptian God cards, the Wicked Gods were at least produced in duplicates, as both Gekko and Yako possessed one copy of "The Wicked Dreadroot" each, while Keith and Yako both possessed one copy of "The Wicked Eraser" each; this makes "The Wicked Avatar" 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. However, Keith constantly complains about how the Wicked Eraser doesn't go with his machine these cards and heavily implies that he only uses them because Yako has forced him to.

==Comparison to the Egyptian GodsAppearances=====''Yu-Gi-Oh! R''===These cards share the Hierarchy System with their counterparts (e.g., among the Egyptian Gods "In ''[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the TormentorYu-Gi-Oh! R]]" and "'', these cards are revealed to have been designed by [[Slifer the Sky Dragon Maximillion J. Pegasus (originalmanga)|Slifer the Sky DragonMaximillion J. Pegasus]]" were Hierarchy 1, while "in secret some time after creating the [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)Egyptian God|The Winged Dragon of RaGod cards]]" was Hierarchy 2), with "The Wicked Avatar" higher than the other two. It is also known that they share He made the remainder of rudimentary designs for the [[Divine]] traits with three cards in an attempt to keep the Egyptian Godsin check, but feared their immense power, and never completed their production. Like the hierarchy of the their Egyptian Gods in the mangaGod counterparts, the Wicked Avatar (who is at cards were never released to the top) cannot be destroyed by the other two gods, as well as being invincible against "Obelisk" and "Slifer"public.

*[[The Wicked DreadrootYako Tenma]] - A counterpart of later completed the cards based on what Pegasus left behind, and named them the "Obelisk the TormentorWicked Gods". He looks human shaped with wings like Obelisk , and the same used them to enact revenge on [[ATKYugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi Mutou]] and for the death of Pegasus. Once he touched "[[DEFThe Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]] as "Obelisk" too. His effects are also , the reverse of card possessed him, damaging his mind and feeding that desire for revenge to the exclusion of all else; in addition to "ObeliskAvatar". "Obelisk's" effect Tributes the controller's own monsters possessing Yako, it allowed Yako to destroy the opponentspossess others, such as his brother, while "Dreadroot's" effect affects all other monsters and instead lowers their attack pointsGekko.

*Yako spent some time 'testing' the cards, including his first Duel against Yugi; he also possessed his brother, [[Gekko Tenma]], to test "[[The Wicked EraserDreadroot (manga)|The Wicked Dreadroot]] - A counterpart of "Slifer the Sky Dragon". He looks like a twin-mouthed dragon, just like "SliferYako also revived [[Keith Howard (manga)|Keith Howard]] and presented him with " [[The Wicked Eraser (in the manga, both appear )|The Wicked Eraser]]" to have no hind limbs). He use in his Deck; Yako himself also has effects that are the reverse of that of used both "SliferThe Wicked Avatar", while and "Slifer" gains points for every card in its controller's hand, The Wicked Dreadroot"Eraser," gains points for every card on at the opponent's field (a trait which leads same time against [[Seto Kaiba to insult it in the (manga). Also, "Slifer's" destruction effect activates only when another monster is added to (the opponent's side of) to the field|Seto Kaiba]], and only targets a single monsterduring his final battle against Yugi, whereas Yako used both "The Wicked Eraser's" destruction effect activates when its own self is destroyed and destroys ''all'' cards on the field"The Wicked Avatar" in quick succession.

*[[The Wicked Avatar]] - A counterpart of "The Winged Dragon of Ra". He looks like "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]]". "Avatar's" effect is God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, and are stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep the Egyptian God cards in line; the reverse of "Ra's", which has several effects Gods seemed to be able to gain ATKrevive the dead, while "Avatar" only has one, where the ATK of this card since Yako was only one point higher than able to revive Keith Howard using the strongest monstercards, and "Ra" used all but one they were a major component of your Life Points for its effect, as well as gaining ATK Yako's attempt to revive Pegasus by sacrificing monsters linking [[Anzu Mazaki (including its Tributesmanga) in |Anzu Mazaki]] to the anime Gods and manga (both were changed to 100 for using "The Wicked Avatar" as a medium. This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the TCG/OCG). In other words, "RaAvatar" needs monsters and Life Points sacrificed to be stronger, whereas using an enhanced "Avatar[[Obelisk The Progenitor]]" needs monsters alive to be stronger.

One key difference that must be notedUnlike the Egyptian God cards, howeverthe Wicked Gods were at least produced in duplicates, is that these are intended as the '''opposites''' both Gekko and Yako possessed one copy of the "Egyptian GodThe Wicked Dreadroot" cards. Henceeach, while Keith and Yako both are [[DIVINE]]-[[Attribute]] in possessed one copy of "The Wicked Eraser" each; this makes "The Wicked Avatar" the mangaonly Wicked God to be unique, the kanji specifically to Yako. Both Yako and Gekko tore up their copies after their final defeats; Keith is placed against the [[LIGHT]]-Attribute symbol for the not seen destroying his copy of "Egyptian GodsThe Wicked Eraser", but during his duel against the [[DARKKatsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Katsuya Jonouchi]]-Attribute coloration for the he would constantly complain that "Wicked GodsEraser". When they were released in the doesn''TCG''/''OCG'', no DIVINE-Attribute or Divine-Beast-Type monsters had been released, so they were made [[DARK]]/[[Fiend]]-Typet fit with his Machine deck and heavily implies that he only uses it because Yako has forced him to.

====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 Gods" or "[[Sacred Beast]]s", there is no combined form of the "Wicked Gods" do not . * "[[The Wicked Dreadroot]]": It is a winged humanoid giant akin to "Obelisk the Tormentor" and they share the same [[ATK]] and [[DEF]]. Its effects are also the reverse of that of "Obelisk". The effect of "Obelisk" that Tributes the controller's own monsters to destroy the opponent's, while the effect of "Dreadroot" affects all other monsters and instead lowers their ATK.* "[[The 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 "Slifer" gains points for every card in its controller's hand, "Eraser," gains points for every card on the opponent's field (a fourthtrait which leads Seto Kaiba to insult it in the manga). In addition, combined memberthe destruction effect of "Slifer" activates only when another monster is added to (the opponent's side of) to the field, and only targets a single monster, whereas the destruction effect of "Eraser" activates when it is destroyed and destroys all cards on the field. * "[[The Wicked Avatar]]": It closely resembles "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]]". The effect of "Avatar" is the reverse of the effect of "The Winged Dragon of Ra", which has several effects to gain ATK, while "Avatar" only has one, where the ATK of this card was only one point higher than the strongest monster, and "Ra" used all but one of your Life Points for its effect, as well as gaining ATK by sacrificing monsters (including its Tributes) in the anime and manga (both were changed to 100 for the TCG/OCG). In other words, "Ra" needs monsters and Life Points sacrificed to be stronger, whereas "Avatar" needs monsters alive to be stronger.

The "Wicked Gods" themselves possess highnigh-unstoppable effects that can easily turn the game in your favor, but they are considerably harder to get out than their "Sacred Beasts" counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, they are not special summonsSpecial Summons. They also require 3 tributes Tributes each and cannot be used with "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]". Thus, monsters who survive battles, ones with high DEF, or those who you can special summonSpecial Summon/summon Summon multiple copies of in a single turn should be used, or monsters that can not be destroyed by battle. "[[Double Coston]]", while being neither of these, counts as two tributes, which is excellent as it reduces the Gods back down to two tributers. Ideally you should use it when you can summon more than once in a single turn, such as with "[[Double Summon]]", and have at least one other monster to tribute. Monsters that summon multiple copies of themselves, such as "[[Nimble Momonga]]" and "[[Hyena]]", are also good. Cards that summon tributable tokens and Trap monsters are especially useful, as the former can rapidly generate tribute fodder while the latter can be used as both a surprise defense and as readily accessible tribute fodder (this is even more useful if you have "Double Coston" and "Double Summon", as the two cards can be used in conjunction with an already-set Trap Monster to instantly bring out the Wicked God).

With the exception of "[[The Wicked Avatar]]", the Wicked Gods themselves lack Spell and Trap protection, and thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent who uses a lot of monster removal. "Royal Decree", "[[March of the Monarchs]]", and "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]" can help. However, "Royal Decree" will prevent you from using Trap Cards. In a pinch, however, you can use "[[Interdimensional Matter Transporter]]" to momentarily save a Wicked God from destruction.

As mentioned before, "Wicked Gods" themselves are attack oriented ("The Wicked Eraser" being an exception). Since they already have exorbitant attacks, "[[Big Bang Shot]]" and "[[Fairy Meteor Crush]]" can help is designed to inflict massive damage. They are also excellent candidates punish the opponent for swarming and setting cards such as ", gaining [[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - TryceATK]]" for each card under their control, 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 wiping 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 otherwiseif it's destroyed.

"The Wicked Eraser" is [[Premium Pack 2021]] released support cards designed to punish aid in the opponent for swarming and setting cards, gaining Summoning of the Wicked Gods. "[[ATKAngel O1]] for each card under their control, and wiping " can be Special Summoned by revealing a Level 7 or higher monster in the field if it's destroyed. This is especially effective against Crystal Beasts, Zombieshand, and any other deck that requires either massive field presence or swarming. If your opponent does not like to swarmalso allows an extra Normal Summon/Set, while "[[Ojama TrioTellus the Little Angel]]", can quickly Summon multiple Tokens to aid in the Summoning of the Gods. "[[Nightmare ArchfiendsDivine Evolution]]", 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 of them can give you exactly be used with the amount for this card's summoning, as well as giving your opponent 3 three Wicked Gods in addition to [[Divine-Beast]] monsters, at least 3000 providing them with additional ATK for "Eraser". "Inferno Reckless Summon" can do the sameand preventing their effects from being negated.

Another version of this Deck is to thoroughly abuse the swarming and resurrection abilities of the Zombies to make summoning the The Wicked Gods even faster. With "Double Coston" as a Level 4 Zombie that can benefit from "some [[MezukiEgyptian God]]" and the revival effects of support cards. "[[Zombie MasterReactor Slime]]", you can summon fast, hit hard, be used to search and protect your Wicked God from being destroyed by Synchro Summoning activate "[[Stardust DragonMetal Reflect Slime]]" or Spamming Rank 4s should a God not be availible. The during the player's turn, allowing them to summon "[[GogogoEgyptian God Slime]]" archetype , which can also be used for their quick chain summoning abilitiestreated as 3 Tributes to Tribute Summon a Wicked God.
