*Thanks for watching this UNAUTHORIZED Yu-Gi-Oh DVD with me guys! Don't tell Konami, though!* 🤫 They made also a sequel video to this one - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ6InJmWkszVc2Q.html

That video had no business being as interesting and good as it was

2003: explaining the game with a 33-turn duel.. 50 minutes 2021: explaining the game with a 2-turn duel... 7 hours

Ethan encompassed the perfect example of a friend getting you into yugioh, helpful but can't help being a smug bastard. This dvd was spot on.

I like how they essentially fix common misconceptions that the anime created. Sure 2000 life points seems fine at first, until you learn that you can attack directly.

At least they have sleeves, they already beat out the duel links commercial imo 😂

"Maybe we need this for 2021" Do it... You have the production value.

Ethan using a Kaiba deck: Beatdown through sheer force and dominates the duel Bradly using a Yugi deck: On the ropes the entire duel until it comes down to the wire, then busts out a game winning combo at the last second. Its like im watching the anime come to life before my very eyes

"I will level the playing field" Starts to pendulum summon

Ethan: Does anything. Paul: You little shit...

For pre-KZfaq this has really good production values.

Takes me back to the days when I had so many cards and no one to duel me that I made two decks and would vs myself at my dining room table lmao and I convinced myself that I could best Yugi Muto if he existed

I genuinely love this so much. It's oozing personality. The "How to draw manga" artstyle of the cover, the kids' acting, the super cheesy quotes like "this will level the playing field a little", breaking the 4th wall and looking at the healthbars, everything about this screams 'passion project of a couple kids from early 2000s' that you can't help but feel nostalgic about it even if you haven't seen it before.

This isn't that bad of a tutorial DVD. It's crazy to see one of these bring buying sleeves and singles online.

Ethan losing reaction face needs to be an emote

I clicked this expecting to laugh at the dvd but it was actually really well made, especially for the time.

Been playing card games all my life and just real talk that moment where he asks, “May I touch your cards?” was a moment of pure kindness and respect. Cannot tell you how many times I have been in tournaments where somebody is snatching and grabbing your cards! 😤

Did anyone else want to see Bradly win using Exodia?

Dude where the hell was this video when I was a kid? 😂 It genuinely does a good job teaching and it’s not as cringe as I thought it would be

Team APS needs to do their own 2021 version of this video (maybe even a video series)! It would definitely be entertaining and actually help newcomers to the game.

*18 years later* ethan : so want to play yugioh again ? it's been awhile since we played. i could teach you how to play again bradley : why though ? pretty sure i already learn the game good enough back then ethan : oh, so you know how to synchro summon, xyz summon, pendulum summon, link summon, maximum summon ? bradley : *the fucking what summon now ?*

Once again, the fans do a better job than konami, in both explaining, filming, and acting. Not nearly as cringy as that official dvd

"I lost 1000 lp on my own turn?" Hand traps and quick effects: you'll see lol

They should hire these kids again as adults teaching the newer yugioh rules with the premise that Bradley wants to go through a nostalgia trip, and Ethan is like a regular YGO competitive player or something. Same cool effects, same slow and easy to understand explanations, some old and new cheesy kind hearted rivalry.

Bradley pulling off a comeback that would make even Yugi blush XD.

That flashback xD. The face the kid made, he did have war flashbacks

“Cocky arrogant little shit” 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 there just kids bro don’t do em like that

This DVD is actually how my friend and I learned to play back in the day. Brings back memories.

Damn Bradley sent Ethan all the way to the shadow realm with that comeback

YESSS!!! The yugioh guide dvd starring Coconut Head from Ned's Declassified

2:01 when you saw todays yugioh after 12-15 years

21:34 that 4th wall breaking is harsh LOL I don't like it. DON'T BREAK MY IMMERSION!

If there was a duel guide now, itll just be 5 minutes of one guy taking one turn and summoning his whole deck with cards that have like 5 paragraphs of descriptions on each card

THIS is nostalgia, when it hits you right in your guts! Me and my best friend always used to play yugioh after school, eat dinner together and made countless sleepovers at weekends just to play even more yugioh past over our sleep time. I just love this video!

I enjoyed the fact the decks came with 50 back in the day. Remove 10 cards for consistency and everyone always picked different 40 (or just exchanged cards with previously owned cards) for a different experience.

That production is actually insane, its also from 2003. Impressive! Its ahead of its time!

Wow, that was actually a great DVD. I was expecting something bad and janky, but that was really fun and good to watch. It also takes me right back to the early days of the game. I forgot about the fifty card starters, too, that was cool to see.

Bradley pulled a Yu-Gi Moto with his last move Awesome :)

Forget yugioh, I would've loved to have seen a video like this when I started playing card games in general to understand the importance of sleeves, card value, and even the ability to buy singles off online sellers.

Man, at 22:40 Bradly really do be like: _My starter deck has no pathetic cards, Ethan!_

Now you know you gotta make an updated Yu-Gi-Oh training video for 2021... Team APS would do it justice (and make a positive impact on the community)!

I have a new catchphrase now, " Okay ETHAN." Lol

Honestly, Its a good DVD. It has a setting that works, and explains all the basics even to the formalities. The only things it really left out were fusions and rituals

Yoooo Team Bradley! I love when unofficial products go above and beyond to instruct people, this was dope as hell! The Yugioh tutorial Konami doesn't want you to see!

Poor kids, didnt even imagine that this simple game would become so complocated that you need a phd to play it

This was actually such a fun video! You should track down and do the other two videos it mentions on the back of the dvd, the advanced and master duelist ones!!! I gotta see how the story between Bradley and Ethan ends 👀

Bradley said: “you were foolish to teach me your ways. Now I am the master.”

Let's go Bradley! As an old school player, I'd love to see a Team APS video of a modern Yugioh tutorial!

The kids are much better actors then alot of adverts and even shows are nowadays

One day, I think it would be hilarious if you tried to successfully play a game duelist kingdom style, where anything goes so long as you can come up with a good reason why it works. It would be a mixture between Yu-Gi-Oh and an RPG game

I wish I would have saw this video 18 years ago when I first got into Yu-Gi-Oh. I didn’t know anything about card sleeves, buying singles, phases, combos, even booster packs, just structure decks and a rubber band to keep them together 😂

I'm slowly getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh and watching you guys makes me feel so much better like I'm not alone out here if it makes sense.

Go Brad! He had the heart of the cards on his side! Get wrecked Ethan! You were supposed to be a teacher and let the power go to your head!

Dark Magician and Blue Eyes White Dragon; working together at last.

Just watched this and I definitely think that was pretty fun and informative, the nostalgia man

I miss the Yugi and Kaiba starter deck so much. I loved those days. I wish they would reprint them. So I didnt have to spend a grand to re live my childhood.

Me: Meh they're just gonna teach the basics what's so crazy about that? Them: Alright kids here's how you can buy singles off Ebay and don't forget to sleeve your cards otherwise they'll be worthless.

YES! I was seriously hoping you guys would cover this someday, NOT disappointed.

I had this on vhs when I was a kid, must've watched the first half like 50 times, mostly just playing in the background while I put together these rudimentary decks with cards I just thought looked cool 😅 Don't play the game anymore (although I know what's it's become..), but this is hitting me right in the nostalgia bone 😌

I think the phone call and binder part shows how different 90's and early 2000's were from now. More trust between friends.

I think Ethan is just acting like an anime character. He’s just getting into it

Why is nobody talking about that 33 turn duel!!? Btw these kids mean serious business!

"I normally wouldn't tell you this, but I'm gonna set a trap card." Oh, so Yuma was just trying to teach Shark how to play the game during their first duel.

The sleeves and buying cards online was my best friend approach to the game. He still bought packs of cards.

Paul was not expecting to be shown up by the quality of this video. I hope to see an overlay like that in the future lol

Man, the amount of SDK Blue-eyes and SDY Dark Magicians that would have been saved if kids learned about sleeves back in the day Also, why didn't they mention how to ban your opponent's soul to the shadow realm? It's pretty useful sometimes. Well, you at least have to know how to protect yourself against it.

Imagine Bradley pulled a poly outta nowhere and fused red eyes in his hand with dark magician on the field...

I always try and ask my opponents "Can I read what that does?" and more things like that whenever I'm gonna check their cards

That DVD cover and the feature was so early to mid 2000’s that it hurts.

Yo team Bradley all the way. That man with the tv quality comeback

I wasn't expecting this to be so good and entertaining. Well I'd hope there was more content like this! Even in 2022, actually...

This video had me through a roller coaster of emotions. Better than most duels at my locals tbh

"There sure is a lotta math in this game" Bro, wait until you see Evilswarms

This is actually like way higher quality than I ever expected after seeing that tweet about this.

I even had those same mats from that time. Summoned skull was an Ultra rare card back then so it was hard to pull in the original packs from 2002.

Halfway threw the video and clearly the older methods from when I was a kid are deffinetly better than now I love the classic cards to and still use them to this day good job bringing this dvd up paul ur a good dude

Looks like the video team from brazzers made unofficial yugioh guides before realizing there true calling

My wife actually found a couple copies of the Advanced DVD at a pawn shop once years ago and picked them up for me. I don't know where they went, but I do know that the full videos for all three have been uploaded to KZfaq. They're surprisingly decent for the time, actually mostly accurately explaining the rules and even getting into some of the meta of the time. Granted, I think it was mostly playground meta, but they also got into stuff like old school beatdown and Exodia builds, staples like Raigeki, Feather Duster, and Jinzo. They used a lot of the jargon I remember from back in fifth grade when I played with my Dad and brother at the weekly Books A Million tournaments, constantly losing to the older kids and adults who could afford stuff like Mirror Force, Yata, and BLS, haha.

Imagine taking 4 or so years people who’ve never played yugioh ever, showing each one of these old guides, and seeing how they do

“Since you decided to go first...” YOU LOSE!

17:47 , Paul with the "uh oh" and his face expression really made me laugh

A proper tutorial + character arcs + a flashback Chefs kiss

I was with Paul rooting for Bradley the whole time. I literally got excited when he played Monster Reborn and then Change of Heart later on.

Honestly so well done, wish I'd seen this when I was a kid

Team APS unauthorized Yugioh guide coming soon?

The character development is phenomenal

I used to watch this trilogy rented from Netflix all the time.

23:08 - Yeah, ok Aizen! All according to plan. Lol, most excellent.

We need this whole series. I wanna see the master duelist one!

When you talked about getting up and leaving in the middle of a duel, that really brought me back to the first card shop I went to back in the day. that was such a nostalgia bomb.

Paul: Are you and Team APS going to do a remake of this?

Oh hey, I rememeber tweeting you about this. Hope you enjoyed it :) Day 753 of waiting for Good Pyro/Volcanic Support to arrive in the OCG/TCG..........

lmao, i love this video. Your reaction/commentary on everything, the fake video itself, man this is gold. Kuddos to the kids though, wish i had this in '03 when i was trying to learn. For the time, this video is really well done. Wonder if i can get a signed copy.....?

Greatings from Brazil! Please bring more of this!

lmao that flashback seen was great. It was just missing the sad naruto music

this was actually way ahead of its time, at the same time its period correct jeez lol

I was surprisingly invested in the story. Those boys did a great job!

Oh my you just pulled something deep from my thoughts that has long been forgotten. I thank you sir.

I remember getting this same DVD from Netflix when they still came in the mail😂 I really like these videos where you analyze old Yu-Gi-Oh media

If anyone else here pronounces the “C” in “Celtic” like an “S”, you are dead to me.
