Hello Pojo Fans,
Angry Burger, always treated as the OG Hungry Burger, is a much better retrain, though that isn’t saying much since old school Ritual Monsters were almost vanilla-level most of the time (this one actually being a vanilla Ritual Monster).
Aside from normal Ritual Spells that are generic in their summoning, you can also use a “Recipe” card to Ritual Summon Angry Burger. Ring of Magnetism-style effect without the ATK drop, Angry Burger can at least force your opponent to play around its attack-force effect because of its 2800ATK holding strong against even several boss monsters.
The better use though for Angry Burger would be using it within the Nouvelles archetype as a Illusion of Chaos to search a Nouvelles monster and then cycling this back to the Deck from the hand. A simple search ability, but like Illusion of Chaos, quite effective for the archetype. Combine that with the ability to draw all attackers to it and you’ve got a decent Ritual Monster all things considered. The tributing any Attack Position monster on the field to Special Summon a Hungry Burger with 2000ATK from the hand or Deck requires you to run the OG Ritual Monster, and you are not doing that, even if you get to trade an opponent’s monster for a deck thin and a Special Summon of a 2000 vanilla. Even running one copy of it won’t make enough sense because that is one more spot taken up within the Nouvelles archetype that could be used for pretty much any other card.
Easily Ritual Summoned, can force weaker archetypes into a hard spot to get rid of itself before attacking, and is useful searcher for the Nouvelles archetype, Angry Burger didn’t have to do much to become better than Hungry Burger. It was a nice touch to add Hungry Burger into its effects somehow, but it isn’t really warranted, nor useful to run one just to get this part of Angry Burger’s effect to activate, even if it would give you a +2 field advantage.
Advanced- 3/5

The moment we got Nouvelles, I was shocked we didn’t get any Hungry Burger retrain, but here we are 2 years later with a new version finally, now Angry Burger.
Angry Burger is a Level 6 DARK Warrior Ritual with 2800 ATK and 1850 DEF. Very good ATK being a Level 6, DARK and Warrior is also great, though I still wonder how they look at an evil burger and come to the conclusion of Warrior instead of maybe Fiend. I digress, it’s always treated as Hungry Burger, meaning you can summon this from the Deck with Baelgrill now instead of the vanilla Hungry Burger. Also always being treated as Hungry Burger does mean you can Pre-Prep for this and Hamburger Recipe. Speaking of which, it can be Ritual Summoned with any Recipe card, which funny enough the two Recipe Ritual Spells in Nouvelles only let you Ritual Summon a Nouvelles monster, and no other card I can think of in that archetype does Ritual Summons, meaning if you were to actually Ritual Summon this, you’re stuck with Hamburger Recipe (which I don’t recommend, you probably don’t want to actually Ritual Summon this anyways). Monsters your opponent controls that can attack must attack this card, redirecting from your weaker Nouvelles Rituals and Pendulums to a 2800 body. The remaining effects are each a HOPT, first letting you reveal this card in your hand to add a Nouvelles monster from the Deck to the hand and then return this back to the Deck, putting itself back for Baelgrill while getting you a Ritual you would want to summon or one of the Pendulums to kickstart your plays. Finally, you get a Quick Effect to tribute an Attack Position monster on either field to Special Summon a Hungry Burger with 2000 ATK from the Deck. This being 2800 ATK means you can’t summon a 2nd copy, which means you must play the original Hungry Burger, and this always being treated as Hungry Burger will also mean you can’t play 3 of this with the original. It’s still a good retrain to the original Hungry Burger at least, feeling less like a brick than the original monster. If you want to get the most value out of this, play 2 of this and a copy of the original Hungry Burger, though you can also just get by on this alone potentially if you don’t want the extra brick.
As for Genesys, Nouvelles isn’t unplayable, but the Rituals have to do a lot of heavy lifting now that Chef de Nouvelles, Poissonniere de Nouvelles, and Patissciel Couverture are not legal in the format due to being Pendulums. This also requires you to give up on playing Concours de Cuisine (Culinary Confrontation), one of the better cards in the Deck. With Diviner of the Herald being 33 points, Preparation of Rites being 5 points, Pre-Preparation of Rites being 10 points, and Herald of the Arc Light being 50 points, you will have to make some big decisions to try and make something function, though classics like Manju, Senju, and Sonic Bird are free, and you could try and skip all those and try to dedicate all 100 points to Djinn Releaser of Rituals, but that’s probably the most unreliable way to play the archetype in the format.

Today’s card has gotten a bit of a spotlight on it this format, and not because of Nouvelles. Angry Burger continues our Duelist Advance coverage, a long-awaited retrain of Hungry Burger. It’s again a level 6 DARK Warrior Ritual monster, so you can search it with Preparation of Rites, though since it has a name clause to be treated as Hungry Burger, Baelgrill de Nouvelles can actually use it for its Quick Effect (note that you can only run 3 Hungry Burgers total at a time!). Surprisingly, Angry Burger gets a substantial attack boost, bringing its attack stat to a solid 2800, making it the deck’s strongest monster and, weirdly enough, tied with Infernal Incinerator for the strongest level 6 monster ever. Go figure! On the flipside, Angry Burger’s defense remains the same, a paltry 1850, but you can’t win them all.
Like I mentioned, Angry Burger has a name clause to always treat itself as Hungry Burger, so in practice you won’t be able to play 3 of these in Nouvelles-focused decks because you’ll want to at least run the original Hungry Burger for reasons we’ll get to. Unsurprisingly, its recommended Ritual Spell is a Recipe card (why do I keep mentioning this? Who knows, maybe they’ll print an inverse Pre-Prep someday…). Angry Burger will force your opponent’s monsters to attack it if able, which I guess lets you put that attack stat to work? Just kidding, it’s meant to enable Poeltis de Nouvelles and Foie Glasya de Nouvelles. Angry Burger comes with 2 hard once per turn effects, and the first one is the one we’re really looking at; it’ll let you reveal it in your hand to search any Nouvelles monster, then shuffle itself into the deck. This is an amazing ROTA, considering that it fishes for your main combo pieces, Poissonniere de Nouvelles and Chef de Nouvelles, the former being key for the now-infamous Nouvelles package in Yummy Mitsurugi hybrids. Obviously, in Nouvelles-focused builds, search what you need, but in Yummy Mitsurugi, you’ll search Poissonniere to access Ritual Raven, which not only protects you from Nibiru, the Primal Being, but also provides a convenient level 1 monster for Linkuriboh and thus enabling Yummy plays. It’s a bit more fascinating than I make it sound, but just know Angry Burger being searchable with Herald of the Arc Light and Preparation of Rites makes this more common than it looks. As for the shuffling effect, of course it’s meant to put itself back into the deck for Baelgrill and avoid becoming a hard garnet. Angry Burger’s other effect is a Quick Effect, letting you tribute any Attack Position monster on either field to Special Summon a Hungry Burger with 2000 attack directly from your deck. Yep, they couldn’t let us slide too easily, you’ll have to play the original Hungry Burger to use this effect. Stinks, but understandable; it’s solid disruption so you’ll want to take advantage of it. Pure builds will want to play 2 Angry and 1 Hungry, but the Ritual Raven package will only need 1.
+Solid consistency booster for Nouvelles and provides a superior alternative to Hungry Burger
+Enables Ritual Raven lines in many decks
-Forces you to run 1 Hungry Burger to make full use of it
-Still relies on your opponent having Attack Position monsters
