Beyond the Impossible/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* In the Doma Arc of Yu-Gi-Oh, Dartz (being the [[Big Bad]]) naturally has a deck that is [[Superpower Lottery| ridiculously overpowered,]] culminating in the summoning of Divine Serpent Geh, whose ATK is infinite. But the Trope is expanded on a turn later, where Yami counters this with Knight of Destiny, whose attack Score is beyond infinite. Interestingly, these cards [https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Divine_Serpent_Geh do have][https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Timaeus_the_Knight_of_Destiny?so=search OCG counterparts], but their effects are at least understandable.

** The idea of “beyond infinite” is in fact contradicted in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'' (which is [[Loose Canon]] at best, but then, so is the [[Filler Arc| Doma Arc]]) where Yami uses [[Physical God| Obelisk the Tormentor]] to defeat [[Big Bad| Tenma]]’s [[The Devil| Wicked Avatar]]. The Avatar is [[Nigh Invulnerable]] because it is a top-tier Divine card, (which makes it impervious to the effects of all Spells and Traps, plus the effects monsters except Divine Beasts of the same Tier, which only includes itself and the Winged Dragon of Ra) and its own effect makes its ATK equal to the ATK of the opposing monster plus 1. Yami is able to defeat this by using a special Spell Card called Divine Evolution on Obelisk the Tormentor, causing it to evolve one Divine rank higher, and then using Obelisk’s own effect to make its ATK infinite. The Wicked Avatar cannot make its own ATK higher than that no matter how hard it tries, so the result of the battle is (as per the rules of Duel Monsters) a draw resulting in [[Mutual Kill]], and the Avatar’s defeat breaks the curse put upon Tenma.
