That is very true lol

That happened to me 😂

Except irl players don't have anyone to remind them fun exists

Kinda makes no sense cause a lot of meta players have fun while playing the game, and the “good ones” usually always end up having a tight friend group-look at most the yugitubers. They have healthy friendships with people in their own community are play the game to a competitive level, and still have fun.

Even funnier. In Tag Force 2/3 in the character profiles. For Jesse it states Arctic Academy. A loose reference to Academy of the North. The Tag Force 2 character profile doesn't even mention North Academy at all. So yes. It's a translation error.

This honestly helped me a lot. Thank you

Actually, the North Academy that Chazz repped in Season 1 is Duel Academy North Branch.

What you're s saying is that Kaiba didn't make just one Duel Academy, he made five?

@@Lucario1121 I imagine he made the first, then someone else made the second, and he just said “Well I’ll make ALL THE REST, THEN!”

Oh my god, he’s just Blair.

The duality of man

Also the erasure of Blairs obsession with Jaden and crush on Chazz upsets me

Who’s bastion?

When you realise Bastion had the chops to stop the YGO's biggest cult dead in its tracks (assuming Saiou would've kept his word & disbanded it) _singlehandedly,_ & you look at what he got reduced to by the end of the show, you realise just how much potential he had, and thus how dirty his character ultimately got done.

​@@dancostello4872 That's a fact

​@@dancostello4872 I will say that Bastian's character arc SOMEWHAT works in that regard. It'd be a picture to see him tornado the entire SoL. But we see poor guy was lonely. And was that honestly fixed? Yeah, maybe the waste of potential WAS the point.

@@dancostello4872 He like barley even speaks later 😭

Also that his external traveling companion is a cat with an alchemist's ghost within it.

Or the fact that he is seen in Venise outside of academia so in the middle of his travel

@@christopherb501 (Insert joke about why Jaden was at Venice here)

I don't get why some people think that bonds beyond time isnt after S4,like what do they not understand?????

@@danieljuries9473 It makes perfect sense for it to happen after season 4 and the events of GX since Jaden basically left Duel Academy at the end of the series and no one really knows where he went from there

The only one who managed to deal with Skill Drain😂

He also beats basically the entire Ra Dorm minus Syrus & Hassleberry (they were living in Slifer - he'd have manhandled them both had he dueled them) considering how empty it is by the time Bastion loses. In fact I'm pretty sure he beats basically everyone twice lol - the second time was to un-convert/free them after Jaden saves him; he's credited with being the one who 'saved' Obelisk Blue (despite being the one also responsible for its downfall). Chazz was lowkey smacking the 'strongest dorms' for fun lmao.

@@dancostello4872 he has technically beaten three schools' worth of opponents. Only character that has more wins than him is Jack Atlas.

Yeah chazz is so underrated without beeing prota level he's not so far behind like kaiba and Yugi, Chazz and judai is a really close one

This is ignoring the context. If Chazz won, he would not have learned. Since it personally effect him he then started to care. If it didn't effect him, he would not have cared if Aster got fired. Only proves Chazz takes the easy way out. That's what he would have done if he beat Jaden. So no, Chazz deserved to lose

@@soukenmarufwt5224 I’m not saying it’s wrong that he lost. I don’t know where you got that idea lol, I’m just saying he has the strength to win against high tier duelists since that’s relevant to the video.

@@soukenmarufwt5224 that‘s only for S2. In S4 there‘s another duel where Chazz would‘ve beaten Judai but he lost intentionally, but this time because he was forced to, not out of moral obligation.

Hope he does a video on this topic, cause most people ignore it.

Actually all three of when the protaginist duels paradox are pretty clear if you pay close attention to the sub, in 5ds its clear it takes place somewhere in between about episode 100 to 130ish (I don't remember the exact episode) it shows paradox in Yuseis mind when he thinks of all his friends or some crap. In gx the general consensus is its right after because the last scene seems to be where bbt is. It isn't exactly clear in dm but it seems to take place some time after battle city but before wda because the relation with peagus isn't on relitive good terms

@@patrickreville4978 I'm pretty sure BBT has to be before Crash Town in 5D's, which is Epiaode 86. And yeah, for Yugi it has to be after Battle City since he has a duel disk. Although it's not clear if it's before or after Waking the Dragons (since the movie is in the anime continuity).

​@@chronokeep Yeah you're right. In 5Ds it's between Bruno's introduction (Ep.80) & the start of the WRGP (Ep.100) but that's as accurate as we can best guess; it's almost certainly either just before or just after Crash Town (I'd estimate after personally) but I doubt we'll ever get official confirmation to know for certain. GX is post S4, which is pretty cut & dry. DM is post Battle City for the reason you stated, but it's worth noting there's a frame where Pegasus has his Millennium Eye; most likely it was just an animation error not picked up on in production, but if it was kept in intentionally then it messes up the timeline completely lmao.

@@chronokeep its been quite a long while since I watched 5ds but yeah it probably does take place sometime then, I was just saying the world cup ( I think) because his duel with primo at the end has him think back and you can see him if I recall correctly.

🤣

Zane is a liar

​@@TeenPerspektivaZane was proud of his little brother in the final season. He took his Cyberdark deck put his own cards into it and made it his own still winning.

@@ChaosArchives667 if he was, he had no reason to

People rather zane stayed dead then admit syrus surpassed him

​@@TeenPerspektivawhat makes you say that

He's also in Venice, aka travelling like he sets out to do at the end of GX. Sure he has a slightly weird movie-deck, but it's very much a sequel to GX (like DSOD is to DM).

@@OneWingedRoseea and his combos are kinda carrying the trio throughout the duel so he definitely should be the best

he's also got that pep in his step that he only regained after dueling yugi, so yeah definitely after all of GX

Hell fucking yeah 💯💯💯 My favorite YGO protag by far

Jaded Yuki

The Mary Sue protagonist is gonna be SSSSSSSSS

I imagine Yusei is gonna be SS right off the bat.

​@@cyberdarkturtle6971 he is not a Mary Sue. Being good at what you do, while having so many story elements, issues, weaknesses to overcome, traumas, things to learn and improve on... These don't make someone a Mary Sue.

@Just a prince with a mustache character development? What's that? Do ANY of the protagonists ever have a problem with him? Does he undo decades worth of conflict in a matter of hours?

​@@SasukeTurkey let's see... flaws that barely inconvenience him, is pretty much excellent at everything he does, barely struggles to achieve his goals... he is a Mary sue character. He never loses, never struggles, gets the girl at the end, is able to "talk-no-justu" pretty much anyone he wants to.

@nickpiccolo9106 It's on KZfaq if you'd like to check it out

You should check it out! 10/10 would recommend. If you decide to watch it I hope you enjoy it, my friend

If you watched it as a kid you will like it, otherwise its pretty mid and full of lame stuff.

@@TeenPerspektiva It is not lame.

Even Mrs Crowler was impressed with Chumley's progress. Wait, isn't Crowler a guy?

My favorite part was that crowler was extremely tempted to throw the duel because he showed so much progress that he legit was extremely proud of him. But he couldn't do that as a duelist. It showed layers to crowler, he clearly cares and loves his student, but it is because he is a duelist himself that he has to fight at his best.

and yet he still lost a tag duel to a wannabe rapper and his bland partner.

Context. In the sub, Syrus thought he was about to win and he started talking shit and acting like an unlikable jacka$$ to his opponent and wanting to do something humiliating. Do not feel sorry fir Syrus in either version. He's a spineless coward and an arrogant price if he gets his way. also you're forgetting he plays Roids. The worst archetype of all time.

@@lilsunny7399 The "rapper" was against "Jaden"; "Syrus" didn't duel him.

Get off the copium, Syrus is bad he is barely part of the main cast. In fact his only purpose is to be bad in contrast to Jaden

@@TeenPerspektiva a lot of Syrus’s issues is his confidence. Once he found it, he started doing a lot better. He had to learn his brother’s lesson to him about “use” and “play”. He learned that and improved.

Wow darkness isn’t able to beat Kaiba? Omg! Also, does Darkness beat Yugi or?

DSOD is canon to the manga, not the anime.

⁠@@kal-eldritchTbf, even if it was in the anime timeline, GX Yugi calls BBT/BC Yugi the strongest duelist so in terms of power scale it goes: BBT Jaden = BBT/BC Yugi >= S4 Jaden (w/ Yubel) > S4 Jaden (w/o Yubel) > Darkness ~ GX Kaiba > DSoD Kaiba < DSoD Yugi < GX Yugi < S4 Jaden (w/ Yubel) S4 Jaden is > GX Yugi since Yugi only wanted to teach Jaden that dueling is still fun, win or lose, so there’s no need to have Jaden duel BC/BBT Yugi to learn this lesson if GX Yugi could do it. The first episode is also called “The Next King of Games” or smth to that extent so Jaden having surpassed GX Yugi at the end of his series makes narrative sense.

@@Zong_Cheng Except we know that isn't true since it was stated several times at the end of DM that Yugi surpassed Atem and he fought Atem when he was at full power since he got his memories back. Also "The Next King of Games” is the dub name. The JP's title was "Yugi's Heir".

@@Ramona122003 Yugi surpassed Atem as a duelist because he is simply better at dueling. That wouldn’t change the fact that Atem has a better deck and the ability to legally cheat in the game with magic. The “ultimate duelist” Yugi is referring to is the past him who combines both Atem and Yugi’s pros in one person. Yugi’s skill + God Cards + top decking anything he wants >>> Yugi’s skill. Like … the Yugi you seem to be implying is the strongest version directly concedes his own inferiority to a previous version who had Atem, the god cards, magic etc. As the only person who could beat Atem (specifically because of how intimately he knew him) and whose whole narrative was about knowing himself and surpassing his “ideal self”, Yugi is the best person to judge when he was at his best short of the writers. Your disagreement simply doesn’t hold any weight in the face of that. Did you miss the “or smth to that extent” part? An heir is someone who succeeds a person/position. Yugi is synonymous with the “King of Games” title so “Yugi’s heir” literally translates to “the person who succeeds Yugi” … aka “the next King of Games”. I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to disagree with here since nothing you’ve said contradicts anything that I posted previously or is just splitting hairs for reasons?

Also to add to this Atticus, after regaining his memory, said Fujiwara was a far better duelist than Zane.

Not to mention how Yubel finally used their own card version against Adrian, which is treated as their true "ace" monster rather than Rainbow Dark Dragon or the Sacred Beasts. In fact since the monsters' strength outside of duels translates to in-duel strength in the anime, Yubel as a severed arm is as strong as Rainbow Dragon and the Sacred Beasts put together since it took those two clashing with each other to replicate Yubel's feat of teleporting Duel Academy to another dimension. Let alone after Yubel fully recovered.

I noticed this too, and it is definitely unusual. He seems to know his stuff fairly well on the sidelines, even recognising when optimal plays had been made like Jaden vs Amnael, but during his first duel he was absolutely ass lmao. I preferred him as a spectator because either he actually looked like someone who'd studied at DA for 3 years, or he'd come out with something really funny & definitely memeable. By far my favourite sideline moment from him is when Jaden destroys Uria for the first time against Kagemaru and Syrus celebrates, Chumley says "yeah but I woulda got rid of it last round Sy" because it wasn't on the field during Jaden's previous turn. Another great moment was when Jaden activated Special Hurricane during the School Duel & Chumley goes "totally what I'd have done... y'know if I had those cards... and if Jaden were walking me through it step-by-step," and Bastion says "That's all? Maybe he should hold your hand as well"

Because he was the most recent duelist to beat Jaden and established as one of the best pros on the circuit, Aster made for the perfect worf, which is sadly what he basically got relegated to for the rest of the series.

​@Dan Costello That's so awful! And then when they made that version of him in Arc-V, he didn't even win once despite having better destiny hero support even! The only thing post-GX that did him some justice was the manga.

I remember watching it too when I was younger and the way it was so dark! Especially with Axel’s parents. Whew that was so dark.

The Clear especially.

Yugi should be in there right or was he removed? Yugi should be able to beat him.

@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 I think that list were people who worked at Kaiba Corp.

Only lasted a few episodes and only two duels, technically.

Another one: Blair should've beaten Chazz in Genex and become a prominent character when Alexis got erased by Bronn.

2nd take I can somewhat agree. 1st one. No way in hell.

Hot take bastion should have ended this arc early and just choose to beat chazz

@kaison12205 That is the coldest take you could have said. Bastion had that duel in the bag, and he only lost because the antagonist said “No, please don’t win.” Bastion is almost the perfect duelist in the series. He comes up with a deck that will counter his opponent and win… if the plot didn’t say otherwise. If Bastion was a real person, he would probably be undefeated.

​@@theomnigamer9177 Bastion is the closest thing to Batman we'll get in YGO - with enough prep time he manhandles everyone in the series who isn't protected by plot lmao

Also, Tyranno did place top honors in a high school prep exam. But because he did at high school age, he can only go up to Yellow. If he placed top honors in a prep school at middle school age, he’d be Blue in no time.

Or buy your way in since some obelisk duelist are wealthy

@@timothyskidmore1554 Also, if you’re a female student, it doesn’t matter, you’re headed straight to Obelisk Blue. If only there was an AU where a Red boy and a Blue girl were actually BFFs in middle school, fell in love, and it was something like a Romeo and Juliet story.

It was, but not at the same time as everyone else's when we see all the KC names but his disappear - before their duel, Darkness deadass tells Jaden he's the last person alive/not in Darkness, so it's pretty ominously hinted at that even Kaiba got assimilated (and let's be honest, we _know_ what his darkness would've been lmao). Unless you believe his name wasn't erased because he wasn't actually on Earth anymore i.e he killed himself at the end of DSOD for that salty runback 😂

When was this? Was this during a scene in there??

@@dancostello4872 Does that mean even Yugi lost? That makes the scene even more scary!

Season 4 is really good.

I’d argue season 1 is top of A and everything after is S

I mean, he was the only one who dueled in the anime, so i expected him to have so many wins, if you take the amount of duels from everyone in the main cast and add them together, it doesn't even reach half of Jaden's numbers, GX was overly focused on him, only him dueled and defeated the villains. In the Shadow Riders arc more than half of them whre defeated by Jaden, even in duels he had nothing to do with, like the duel against Atticus that should belong to Alexis, the duel against Camula that should belong to Syrus

@@seiyajin8151 I mean it’s who you beat not how many total wins you have

"He was the only one dueled in the anime." Exactly why he's S Tier or higher in every season. He was the show. My tier list in my opinion, goes like this. Jaden SS Tier , Zane, Aster, Jessie, Axel, the main villain's are S Tier. Everyone else is C Tier or lower. lol

@@kaison12205 Well, Chazz beat Aster and Jaden in season 4, so should he be higher in the tier list?

To be honest, they didn't do anything with most of the characters, most of the main cast barely dueled or were important to the story, only Jaden dueled and defeated the villains, even in duels that should belong to other characters due to their emotional weight, they put Jaden in, like the duel against Nightshroud that should have been Alexis's, the duel against Camula that should have been Syrus's, Chazz that was used as a guinea pig to show how strong the villain of the arc was and so on, and it only got worse when the new characters came along and they had to focus on them. I mean, Atticus was said to be as good as Zane, if not better, and we never saw him in a serious duel and the few he had, he lost.

Tag Force 3 Blair with lightsworns carries hard

Oop.

You're right. Everyone got consumed by nightshroud.

@@phantomknight0015 would that mean then that darkness should be above Yugi?
