This is also true for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong>, the bid, bad, mean, green, machine himself! This iconic, classic boss monster was released in 2000 (OCG), and since then, it has been used in many different decks for its powerful Trap negation effect. But, who is Jinzo? What is Jinzo? What is his story? Let&#8217;s delve into the past of this cybertronic nightmare!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yugi.wiki\/assets\/card-images\/common\/35803249.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:243px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-card\"><em>The Card<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let&#8217;s look at the card itself. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> is a Level 6 DARK Machine monster with 2400 ATK and 1500 DEF. It&#8217;s effect is simple, yet deadly: &#8220;Trap Cards, and their effects on the field, cannot be activated. Negate all Trap effects on the field.&#8221; This one-line effect is a total floodgate for traps &#8211; both yours and your opponent&#8217;s. This effect can totally shut down entire strategies, and prevents your opponent from activating any Traps and Trap Effects. In the early days of Yugioh!, this was a very powerful effect, as Traps played a big part of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-archetype\"><em>The Archetype<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> was given additional support in the form of its own archetype. This archetype includes <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_-_Returner\">Jinzo &#8211; Returner<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_-_Lord\">Jinzo &#8211; Lord<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_-_Jector\">Jinzo &#8211; Jector<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_the_Machine_Menace\">Jinzo the Machine Menace<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_-_Layered\">Jinzo &#8211; Layered<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Psychic_Megacyber\">Psychic Megacyber<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Psychic_Bounder\">Psychic Bounder<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Psychic_Wave\">Psychic Wave<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Law_of_the_Cosmos\">Law of the Cosmos<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Everlasting_Alloy\">Everlasting Alloy<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Cyber_Energy_Shock\">Cyber Energy Shock<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Amplifier\">Amplifier<\/a><\/strong> and technically <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_7\">Jinzo #7<\/a><\/strong>. These cards all center around <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> himself, Trap negation, and even stealing your opponent&#8217;s monsters. These cards all blend machines and psychic energies into one theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-legend\"><em>The Legend<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong>, and who is he? <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> is a cybernetic being, part human, part machine who possesses great psychic powers. It is unclear whether <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> was created by an outside force, or if he was once a human who altered his own form by outfitting himself with cybernetic implants. Some argue that Jinzo was part of a larger project, one part of a line of machines. They site <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_7\">Jinzo # 7<\/a><\/strong> as a prototype version of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_7\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong>. However, I would argue that these two cards are not actually related. You see, Jinzo&#8217;s name in Japanese is Jinz\u014dningen &#8211; Saiko Shokk\u0101, or Android &#8211; Psycho Shocker. The name <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> is derived from that name. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo_7\">Jinzo # 7<\/a><\/strong>, which was actually released before <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong>, seems more like a &#8220;generic&#8221; android, whereas <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> himself seems to be a unique entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearances\"><em>Appearances<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yugi.wiki\/assets\/card-images\/common\/80681226.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6857016623405313;width:263px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> was used by Espa Roba in the Battle City arch, it being his ace monster. Espa was a self-proclaimed psychic, using machine monsters in his deck and mind controlling effects. He used <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> in a duel against Joey Wheeler. Roba claimed he could read Joey&#8217;s mind and see his cards, but he was actually using a radio to communicate with his brothers who were watching the duel with binoculars. Espa lost that duel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> appeared as a threatening card in Battle City, he appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX as a very real threat! In GX, we are introduced to Card Spirits, like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Yubel\">Yubel<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Winged_Kuriboh\">Winged Kuriboh<\/a><\/strong>, and the Ojama. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong>, too is a Card Spirit, but a malevolent one. His goal was to become fully part of the material world by stealing the souls of humans. Torrey, Isaka, and Mukouda wanted to summon the Spirit of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong>, and they did this with a Ouija Board. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> demanded three sacrifices to be called. The students assumed he meant cards as sacrifices, but he was actually have their souls. Torrey finally realized this and ran to the Slifer Red dorm, running into Jaden Yuki and Professor Lyman Banner. They hear Torrey&#8217;s story and help. After a massive power outage, they locate the partially materialized <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong>. Jaden challenges the machine menace to a duel, and after a long and arduous battle, Jaden came out on top and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/wiki\/Jinzo\">Jinzo<\/a><\/strong> was defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic Yugioh! monsters tend to gain new waves of support from time, so it is possible that we have not seen the last of this cyber psychic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of the most iconic cards in Yugioh! &#8211; Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Summoned Skull, Buster Blader &#8211; originated&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":52442,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[3235,92,1,171],"tags":[4112,4065,54,415,3236,300],"class_list":["post-52389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jinzo-decks","category-off-topic","category-uncategorized","category-yugioh-news","tag-anime","tag-card","tag-cards","tag-classic","tag-jinzo","tag-lore"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Who is Jinzo?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jinzo: A psychic, cybernetic, mechanical menace.
