I mean for each signer, their signer dragon is obviously either their ace or boss monster, especially considering they usually play them and support as a part of their deck/core strategy.

Ah 5D's. The one who introduced summoning chants to the yu-gi-oh franchise (yes, yes, I know DM did it first with the Winged Dragon of Ra, but it was 5D's that made it a main feature and a staple going forward). Still my favorite season of the franchise. Thanks for this. Trully.

I just realized a major coincidence Junk Warrior and Decode Talker have 2300atk, are considered their other Aces besides their 2500atk monster, and were used and got the win in the final duels of their respective series

Junk Warrior represents Yusei picking himself up and relying on his friends who may be weaker than him to help move him forward and motivate him. Stardust Dragon represents Yusei’s willingness to help others even at risk to himself. Which is exactly how and why he lost Stardust Dragon to Jack in the first place. They are both Yusei’s ace monsters for different reasons.

Yusei’s real ace monster: Speed warrior- stands up STARDUST DRAGON!! Speed warrior- sits back down

The Crow originally as a villain thing turned out to be unlikely. There's a really interesting reddit post talking about the theory and debunking it, from the OCG release date of the cards compared to the anime's production, to the design philosophy and attitude of the 5D's producer.

Akiza is my all-time favorite character in the series. So much in fact that I got to name my daughter after her and her ace card. Akiza Rose. ❤

I would argue Hundred Eyes Dragon is Kiryu's Ace as a Dark Signer/during his fall to evil. Since it also fits thematically with his original backstory of trying to conquer all of Satellite, absorbing everything around him to further his ambitions. Eventually doing away with all other options, much like how Infernity limits one's freedom by giving up their hand. And then Infernity Death Dragon is his ace following his revival. Which fits his state of mind during Crashtown, since in that arc he was constantly taking extreme risks to see if he deserves redemption or if he should die as atonement for his past sins. So a card whose effect while strong actively handicaps his abilities makes thematic sense.

Yusei-Wind Jack-Dark Akiza-Fire Luna-Light Leo-Earth Crow-Double Dark

For Crow it's definitely Armor master, since he worked to get it out as he was not a Signer at first. And the warrior aspect reflects that he fights for other's especially the Orphans in the slums.

Junk Warrior is just a cool Synchro Monster. The first time I saw it in the anime was a fun experience. Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Deagon, and Black-Winged Dragon are also my favorite ace monsters, too.

I love Junk warrior. It holds a special place in my heart along with Junk synchron as those two were the cards I really wanted when I was a kid. I still hope for a retrain/upgrade of Junk warrior as he was Yusei's ace for a good portion of the first season

I’d say that Carly’s ace card is actually Miracle Stone because this is the card that holds her strategy together

The Signer Dragons are so cool and I'm so glad years later, we get evolutions for the rest of them. Though I'm still waiting for the Ancient Fairy Dragon one, Konami!

I love that Stardust Dragon has a trap card that special summon him,but only if your oponent try to destroy 2 of your cards which could by seen as if you hurt Yusei he docent care,but if you hurt more people then just him which would make sense

I thought Crow being a villain was a debunked theory.

13:52 Similar to Alexis in the GX video, Kalin seemed to use Vorse Raider and before his first duel with Yusei, Kalin threw it at Yusei and Crow Yusei recognizes the card in season 1 ep 32 maybe as a familiar card from Kalin’s deck in the English Dub

As much as I love the idea of his aces being his personality depicted on Junk Warrior and Stardust Dragon, I can't shake the feeling that Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior deserve a spot as well.

Yusei using Stardust dragon, makes so much sense because yusei constantly sacrifices himself to try and save others.

wish we got Fortune Lady Every back in 5Ds, woulda been super cool

Red Dragon Archfiend summoning chant always give me chills, such a GOAT Jack

So to talk about that Crow thing: it’s not true. Blackwings were released in November 7th 2012 with the episode airing Crow aired in November 28th and knowing how animation works it wouldn’t be possible or realistic to change it within that timeframe. It’s fake that someone on Reddit made up. Same with Carly’s Va being in a cult causing her to be written out of the final arc of 5Ds

Stardust: Protection Red Dragon Archfiend: Power Black Rose Dragon: Destruction Ancient Fairy Dragon: Spirit Guardian Lifestream Dragon: Life force Black Wing Dragon: Masochist?🤷‍♂️

Stardust is my fav ace monster in yugioh😭❤

Crow’s real ace is black wing armor master. It was their since the start and I think that blackwing dragon is more of a boss monster for him

Letsgoooo I’ve been wanting for this video as I love Team 5ds. Thank you Tgs anime!

Yugioh 5ds is my favorite season of the franchise. It had great characters (jack atlas is a riot lol), an over the top story that only yugioh could make, best girl Akiza Izinski, and some of the best ace monster Hell when i got back into yugioh a few years ago the first thing i did was buy all of the signers ace monsters and as much of their variants as I could. And this just in, they made black wing dragon assault mode! That means pretty soon the rest of the aces will get more as well and I'm all here for it lol

great video love this series

Fun fact. We actually have no evidence crow would be a villain, and that reddit post has serious holes in it. Including the release of Black Wing monster and crow's introduction not being aligned, NOR. Popular enough for it to matter in the anime. If I recall correctly actually. People mocked the archetype for a long while.

I remember while watching I also came up with a "Junk" theme deck but they had a more "Frankenstein" look as in being a patchwork creation made out of multiple parts. That deck had a slight Fantasy theme with monsters like Junkyard King, Queen, Knight and Dragon

Would have been great for Carly if they had the Fortune Lady Every Synchro Monster in the anime as that would have been her Ace.

Psychic School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has got to be the best thing I heard today haha. I remember from Day 1 my brother had Crow's booster/Starter deck and he had Blackwing Dragon, I believe I had the Junk Destroyer Booster/Starter deck at the time or the one with Stardust Dragon, sadly can't really remember too clearly as memory can be terrible at times but I definitely know my brother had Crow's deck and I had Yusei's deck

It's interesting how you brought up the whole "Crow was suppose to be a dark singer" theory since there's tons of proof between both sides on whether or not that is true or not, with the biggest one being the lack of time between when Crow was introduced vs when the Blackwings came to the ocg

I definitely agree that each Signers Dragon monster is their Ace. However, many of the Signers run multiple archetypes in their decks, so I'd argue that they would have another Ace monster alongside their respective Dragon. For a few examples, Yusei has a Stardust Synchron Junk deck, so as you mention Stardust Dragon and Junk Warrior/Junk Synchron would likely be the Aces for his deck (alongside maybe like Junk Guardna or something as well), Jack has an Archfiend Resonator deck so alongside Red Dragon Archfiend I think one of the Resonators would probably be his other Ace, Crow has a Blackwing deck, so as you mention Armor Master and Black-Winged Dragon would both be his Aces, and Leo has a Morphtronic deck, so I feel like he'd have a Morphtronic Ace as well as his Power Tool Dragon/Life Stream Dragon. I also agree with the Dark Signer Aces, if you aren't going with the Earthbound Immortals (which I can see an argument for) then whatever their Dark Synchro is, like shown in the video for most of them, would probably count as their Ace, with some of them having other Aces in the Fortune Fairies/Fortune Ladies, Infernities, etc. as Aces alongside their Earthbound Immortal/Dark Synchro. Basically, I feel like each archetype/group in the characters deck would give them an Ace in addition to whatever Ace they would have if it wasn't already included.

I'm loving this series. Ngl though, it'll be hard to to top GX with just how.... insanely hard it is to nail down Jaden's Ace.

Finally, this was the video I was waiting for.

Reminder that the thing with Crow Hogan being a villan was a flase rumor that's been debunked heavily. I don't remember the details on the top of my head but theres details out there disproving this heavily

I noticed in Yugioh that the ace monsters of main heroes usuallt have 2500 ATK whereas their friendly rivals have 3000 ATK

Such a classic moment in the original Digimon series. "Go Metal Wolf Fucking Thing!"

3:40 you actually want to know that they were not the only ones that got their megas, in digimon adventure tri, which is a continuation of the originals, we see the megaevolutions of every other character, and as a matter of fact, before this arc we actually can see that other 2 gets their megas, this being angemon and angewomon on a movie

The story about the spider is interesting, there is a Christian story that's exactly the same about an apple. There was a sinner in hell who was evil, but her guardian angel pleaded to God for mercy mentioning that she once gave an apple to a beggar. God said okay you can take an apple and tell her to hold onto it and pull her up. The angel rushed to hell reached out the apple and started pulling her up. Other sinners started grabbing on and was being pulled up with her, she got angry and started kicking them off saying this is my apple I did the good deed, and once she did that the apple broke and she was flung back to hell. I am curious to see which story came first between the Japanese one about the spider and the Christian one about the apple.

I think it's fun to think of Rex Goodwin's ace monsters as being his "Signer Dragon" and Dark Signer ace. Obviously putting Signer Dragon in quotes, as he wasn't actually chosen to be a Signer, he literally just put on his brother's arm. But it does fit in with the theme of Signers having Dragon ace monsters.

I'd say between 5Ds and Arc V are my top series of Yu-Gi-Oh that I utterly enjoyed from start to finish

Crow summon armor master more than black wings dragon and use in important duel too. Plus you can see armed is the younger version of armor master to full armor master

Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh fan here. Loved the reference!

0:17 Yusei Fudo Best Ace Monster Junk Warrior & Stardust Dragon❤

I would say crow's ace is armor master primary, and blackwing ends as a boss monster. Blackwing keeps him in the game, the dragon is usually able to close a game with an attack burn combo.

What i learned from this video is that in order for a monster to be an ace monster its effect has to inflict between 400-800 damage to your opponent

Red Dragon Archfiend is my favorite Ace card in 5Ds

It’s pretty cool that Yusei has a main ace in Stardust and a sub ace in Junk Warrior and all the other synchro warriors are his backup arsenal.

Hi TGS Anime I love this and I hope you have a good day and my favorite one out of the singer dragon is stardust dragon

Yo tg you ever thought about doing a vid on your own personal deck ? Can’t lie pretty curious to hear bout it

If/when you get to Vrains which monster are you going to use for Yusaku's ace monster? Firewall was originally intended to be the ace monster but because it got limited it was barely used in the show and when it got banned Yusaku never used it again during the final duel. Decode was used more than Firewall but it was only summoned on screen once during season 2 so it wasn't treated like his ace either, but he was used during the final duel. But Firewall has all the big ace monster evolutions like Stardust does so Idk...

You need to do a vidoe on the archetype weilded by Leon Wilson/ Von Schroeder, fairy tail cards.

Man every time you talk about 5d, you make me wish that you will release video like you did for duel monsters and gx for the power of all the characters in the series😢🙌

Great video Sam Btw, it has been awhile since you did a box opening. Is there plans to do more or have you decided to pretty much stop cause of how much cards are in circulation?

Crow's ace is his blackwing card. He uses it the most and it fits his strategies. Black Winged Dragon appears AFTER the signer arc, doesn't really fit the deck after it's first appearence and fits better as his boss monster by those parameters.

6:21 that's actually not true. It was never said so this misconception started from some fan's theory on an old blog and spread. Crow originally wasn't supposed to be a signer but he also wasn't supposed to be a dark signer. We know this because in a flashback to Crimson Dragon defeating the Earthbound Immortals you can see Life Stream there but not Black Winged Dragon.

Yusei’s ace should definitely count as both Junk Warrior and Stardust Dragon since until Yusei regained his Stardust Dragon Junk Warrior was definitely his ace card

My prayers have been answered. Thank you!!!

Dude, YGO 5Ds and Digimon season 1 are the same thing! Yusei and Jack = Ty and Matt Angelmon= Ancient Fairu Dragon. Garudamon= Black Wing Dragon. Etc.

For Z-ONE, I'm thinking of his circle traps being his aces. I don't know why it would be metaion exactly since it is one of the 10 timelords and it's not necessarily one of the win conditions of the deck.

Yo tg you ever thought about doing a vid on your own personal deck ? Can’t lie pretty curious to hear bout it 0:27

I think I need to bring this up, so, when’s the next unboxing video? It’s been 6 months since your last one, and I was curious as to where they went.

Life stream Dragon is so painfully crap, it’s tear inducing.

I just realized that out of all the Yu-Gi-Oh characters, we actually know definitively what is in 99% of Aporia's deck. Since in the anime, each of the three Meklord Emperors are actually five monster cards each, plus the three different core cards that gets them out, three Meklord Army cards, Meklord Astro Mekanikle, and Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk, that is 23 monster cards in total. And throughout his duels, we see him use 9 Spells, and 7 traps. In total, that is 39 cards, meaning there is at least 1 card in his deck we have never seen him use. It is fascinating to me that we practically have a complete deck profile for one of the main villains in the anime.

Pretty cool that Yusei has two ace monsters that represent his different traits. Junk warrior represents his bond with his friends and Stardust dragon represents his need to protect them.

Thanks Mr. Yugioh man you made my cardio way more fun

Can we please put the whole 'Crow was gonna be a villain' and 'got promoted to signer due BW popularity' rumors to rest? They've been debunked for years and never withstood scrutiny. Same with many other rumors that seem to plague 5Ds for no reason. 5D's production has a whole history that's interesting without digging up actual nonsense. I recommend the fantastic 5D's retrospective video by Foxcade for people that want to delve into it

The other Digi-Destined's Digimon did get Mega level evolutions. Kari and TK got Seraphimon and Magnadramon in the first Digimon movie (Angewomon should still have digivolved in to Ophanimon because Ophanimon is in Gatomon's evolution line)

When you do Zexal, please do III, IV, and V’s aces

I think Carly's ace is Hikari since that's the "Super Happy" fortune card. For Fortune Ladies, I think the only real ace is Every, but that wasn't in the anime of course. For Kalin, I think Hundred-Eyes Dragon is his ace as a Dark Signer and Infernity Doom Dragon becomes his ace after the Dark Signers arc, since he no longer has Hundred-Eyes as it was a Dark Synchro monster.

Men I love your videos pls make a junk and resonator ach vid ❤

Ancient Fairy Dragon is the only one left to have an upgrade. Can't wait to see what it does.

lol, why is the video locked at 360p? Btw, amazing vid :D

Jack refers to Red Dragon Archfiend as his very soul, making it his ace monster. However, in the Zexal sub, Kite refers to Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon as his very soul, despite the original Galaxy-Eyes appearing more frequently. Would this make Neo Galaxy-Eyes Kite's true ace, or one of his bosses?

Can you make a video as to what happened to Kaiba Corp and Industrial Illusion. There not mentioned after GX. Thank you.

*sees Akiza in the thumbnail * Well, excuse me while I go "shuffle" my "deck"

I think for Z-ONE his Boss Monster is all the time lords. As each of them represent part of Z-ONE’s despair of his unsuccessful attempts to try and stop his catastrophe with no success results endlessly.

For carlys ace, the mirroring is quite an argument.... in her good form, wonder stone came to my mind tbh

Since it was released, Black Rose Dragon has been my favorite card

15:15 Life has many doors, Ed boy

i am disappointed that yusei's ace card is not speed warrior due to the fact that he summons speed warrior all the freaking time

Imo Crow's ace is Blacking Bora the spear. He pretty much opened it in every single duel he was in. I'd consider the dragon more of his boss.

Can we get the Duel Analysis for Aporia Vs Jack, Leo and Luna?

7:48 I'm gonna say no......and not because i have no idea how to pronounce half of their names 😂

I got Stardust Dragon as my first Synchro back at the day in 1. Edition Super Rare. And guess what I got as 25. Year Edition? Stardust Dragon. I love him.

That’s a good point Armor Master is probably Crow Ace and Black Winged Dragon is more of his boss monster

Stardust is Yusei's primary ace, Junk Warrior would be like his DMG a weaker monster but they still use them all the time, because Stardust is what makes him plot relevant as a Signer, no plot dragon no Signer status Junk Warrior is probably the closest to being a full ace though and further support's my theory that if the protagonist ace's primary effect is to increase it's atk it will be lower than 2500 to retain it's underdog status 3:51 you kinda need to clarify "the original" because everyone gets Mega in the 2020 reboot

3:45 oh my man haven't watch the original digimon series reboot 2020.

Fun fact : moon and sun dragon are reference to sun and moon pyramids of the azrecs since 5Ds is inspired by the aztec mythology alot.

Side note digimon adventure tri introduces the mega evolutions of the other digimon from the original series

The other digidestin get me gas in the canon sequel tri

hey next time you anylsis a duel can you please do yusei vs bruno(both duels) Or yusei and kalin vs lawton?

The way you pronounced Meklord Astro Mekanikle is great. "Mecha Nickle" (You just pronounce it like in real life if it was spelled correctly as 'mechanical') XD

With Greiger you forgot dark flattop when he became a dark signer

0:42 No, no, not _that_ kind of Dark Synchro Monster, people. Keep up.

"Crow was meant to be a villain. Source: trust me, bro."

Definitely liked how mythology was implemented in 5ds

What is the music used at 19:28 for the video?
