"'''Bonding'''" (ボンディング ''Bondingu'') is an [[archetype]] of [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card|Trap Cards]] used by [[Bastion Misawa]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. It works in tandem with the so-called "Chemical" series, which consists of a small number of cards named after and formed from things like elements and minerals, like hydrogen. The trump card of the series is "[[Water Dragon]]" and its newer cousin "[[Water Dragon Cluster]]".
One member of the "Chemical" series, "[[Hyozanryu]]", was not first used by [[Bastion Misawa]], but instead by [[Seto Kaiba]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|second series anime]]. All [[Monster Card|monsters]] of this "Chemical" series are [[Effect Monster|Effect Monsters]]s, except for the [[Normal Monster]] "Hyozanryu".
==Members==
==Playing style==
The main goal of the "Bonding" archetype is to use the "Bonding" [[Spell Card|Spells]] in combination with "Hydrogeddon", "Oxygeddon" and "Duoterion" to Summon "[[Water Dragon]]" and "[[Water Dragon Cluster]]". While most of the cards of this archetype are pretty old, they can still be used to some effect, especially if some other tools are involved.
For a long time, this deck had almost no outside support worth running, but times have changed. While "Water Dragon" and "Water Dragon Cluster" are both Sea Serpents, they don't really need anything in terms of outside support, since they can only be summoned via "Bonding" Spells and will fetch themselves from almost anywhere themselves. The component monsters are actually the ones that need to be summoned and searched for, but this is not a problem anymore since all of the component monsters are Dinosaurs, and this certainly opens the door to a whole new world of support. "[[Babycerasaurus]]" can search for both "Hydrogeddon" and "Oxygeddon", while "[[Petiteranodon]]" can search for the two and, additionally, for "Duoterion". "[[Souleating Oviraptor]]" gives even more searching power and revive effects and "[[Miscellaneousaurus]]", while being FIRE attribute and therefore going to 0 ATK due to "Water Dragon", will work wonders from both hand and GY, therefore ignoring the drawback most of the time. "[[Ultimate Conductor Tyranno]]" is another option for an immensely powerful boss monster, that "Bonding" can access with relative ease. For even more searching use "[[Fossil Dig]]"; it can fetch any of the component monsters as well as any of the other play-enablers.

===Weaknesses===
* Since one of the main difficulties of a "Bonding" deck is the setup needed to make the "Bonding" Spells/Traps work, destruction effects can prove extremely helpful against this deck. "[[Raigeki]]", "[[Dark Hole]]", "[[Interrupted Kaiju Slumber]]" or "[[Torrential Tribute]]" can destroy any progress the "Bonding" player built up and might end the duel then and there.
* The deck needs to Special Summon most of the cards it plans to use, therefore "[[Archlord Kristya]]", "[[Vanity's Fiend]]" or "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" are able to halt the deck rather effectively.
