Next gx episode: an in-depth analysis of Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin’s ass

Never stop talking about gx

One reason why Yubel is so important is that they represent a narrative obstacle that can’t be overcome with brute force- and that REALLY fits the “coming of age” theme that GX stands for. Yubel represents genuine darkness and twistedness- and we all have to learn as we mature that we can’t just overcome that by punching it in the face. It’s only by owning, confronting, and resolving that darkness that we can grow as people- and that’s one of the key themes of GX Season 3.

In terms of season 4, I think it's pretty clear that Judai and Yubel's relationship is not like Yugi and Atem. Judai and Yubel pretty much exists as one being rather than 2 distinct souls. It is also why we see such a great shift in Judai's personality which has become much similar to Yubel (ex. threatening Banner even if for comedic effect, using Atticus even if it would have caused him harm in the long run, etc.). What I like about their relationship in S4 is that Judai remains independent. We know it's him dueling and using his own skill. Even when Yubel appears in his duel it is only for moral support, mocking/teasing him, or to encourage him to find his way out of a tough spot.

Yubel can be your husbando and waifu at the same time. Now that's a quality character

Another fun fact with Yubel/Flame Wingman being Judai's favorite card, their card effects are also a bit similar. They both do damage based on an opponent's monster's attack points.

Yubel: The only yandere to actually get her senpai to notice and accept them.

Judai Yuki: Melon Honey, its 4pm. Time to get your game on. MelonThot:....yes dear... Sorry, not sorry

Yubel's reasoning and the way they expressed their "love" is actually pretty realistic. People often reciprocate love from how they experienced it, and that's why some would stay in abusive relationships even though they know it because that's the type they had growing up.

I wish we got a series about the adventures of judai after gx. Basically an amazing duelist who'd fight criminals with superpowers from yubel and supreme king

We're dragging u into gx world just like yubel dragged judai into dark world

#HATEJUDAISPARENTS

The GX hole is everlasting “Just remember, you’re here forever.”

I wish season 4 delved more into the ramifications of Jaden’s friends finding out Yubel is a part of him. None of them could have been cool with that given everything Yubel put them through.

I like to imagine Yubel was so overprotective because jaden was killed by someone the two trusted in his past life later on and they didn't want to make the same mistake twice.

'Mister Kaiba! We've found a card that might be possessed by a weird dangerous spirit!' *sigh* 'Fuck it off to space.' 'S-sir?' 'Here's a billion dollars, buy me a company that builds rocket and send that thing into outer space. I'm not dealing with this again.'

Judai's Parents are worse than Arc-V's ending

Human Yubel had no canon gender in the original guys, there's no "But they WERE a woman" like it literally says that nowhere at all. And btw if human Yubel did have a boy/girl gender not only are their eyes and hair the same colour as the male side of demon Yubel, they also refer to themselves in masculine speech. I didn't think I'd have to say that in the video but go back and check the original if you don't believe me.

Yubel: The insane Yandere who got multiple people killed and got everything she wanted. Jaden.

Two Thoughts 1. I’m pretty sure Yubel is asleep during most of S4 and then wakes up during Darkness’ duel with Judai. In his duel against Trueman (the one with Five Headed Dragon) he says “I can’t afford to lose now. For the sake of those who sleep in my soul as well.” Key word there being “sleep”. Plus once Yubel comes out the first time, they’re pretty chatty and come out quite a bit in those last few episodes plus BBT. Which makes me think that beforehand they probably couldn’t come out rather than chose not to. 2. When Yubel says that they’re both Yubel and Johan, I don’t think they were completely lying. Yubel then says right after that “this body desires to fight you”. Yubel controls people using the darkness in their heart. And Fujiwara reveals in S4 that the darkness in Johan’s heart is a desire to settle things in a duel with Judai. I thought it was really cool when I rewatched GX that Judai calls Yubel out for lying but they might have actually not been if we take Fujiwara’s words into account.

In defence of Yubel. What defense? A normal attack will be deflect you, and if you destroy her, she will simply evolve into more powerful form. twice! Anyway great video.

She talks in the intro like I’m gonna get tired of GX

5:53 well to quote Kaiba "If there is intelligent life out there then let's teach them how to duel"

When you’re a genderless dragon, well, you’re just superior

Good that we're still on GX

Yubel seems to me to be a symbol of the repression of part of one's self and how that destroys the ones close to you. Judai fusing with her is him learning to accept that part of himself

I didn't even know people didn't like yubel

I really love how Yubel encouraged and warned Judai when Judai duels Yugi. Those last episodes really led me to make comparisons about Judai and Yubel's relationship with Yugi and Atem's.

I had a dream where yubel told me my deck sucked and that I should "get gud". It was odd. Yet very convincing.

Imagine a world where firing a playing card out into space is not only affordable, but is also deemed completely reasonable.

I love when you go deep into GX, because it just makes me think "I'm not the only crazy GX obsessed person!" This was the whole reason I loved Yubel soooo much. They were a villain born out of pain and heartbreak, and just wanted to be loved by the one person they loved the most. I also agree that there should've been a bit more in the way of past life stuff, but I'm glad we at least got what we did. I liked seeing Judai realize that they had both been complete idiots, and needed to grow as individuals. I mean, killing lots of people is a pretty bad move, I must say. Love Yubel, and season 4 Judai is kick ass.

"You can never go wrong with more Yubel" This is a motto Duel Links devs live by

Is it possible that Yubel was inspired by Ryu from Devilman because there are so many similarities between the two characters. A reincarnated androgynous / hermaphrodite monster with a half-angel half-demon aesthetic who is in love with another reincarnated demon person (Judai Jaden Yuki). So in love with them, that they are willing to kill anybody who looks at their incarnated boyfriend

yubel was a very interesting concept as a vilain, but that flashback scene and the execution of the fusion was definetly writen in a way that left a lot to be desired

Guy's i might be crazy but i think yubel is a little crazy

Hears: the words "5Ds villains" Sees: Kalin/Kiryu Me: *Perfection in every way, shape, and form*

Mel: "You clicked on the video and I will now force you to stay here!!" Me: ok

Gx is love Gx is life

My new goal in life is to be a part of a big Yu-gi-oh argument/discussion without watching a single episode. So I need you to keep making these videos. I hope you’ll talk about other seasons too. And please make a video about why you hate the characters you hate!

I love how just, Jaden says "We have the strength of 100 men!" Then launches a laser beam into an open space seconds later.

The millisecond I saw Yubel I clicked

Never clicked on a video this quickly.

I wish they gave Yubel an archtype that combined yubel with creatures in jadens deck more then just neos wisemn. I would have loved seeing a yubel fusion of all 6 attributes.

The analysis of this anime actually makes it feel like one of the best out there. Yugioh is so harshly overlooked.

Honestly yubel to this day is one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! Villains and easily the creepiest out of all of them. Rip to their beautiful va

One thing that I thought about the whole Yubel/Jaden redemption is that the gentle darkness wasn't super gentle, revealing itself in a harsher form as the Supreme King, being the perfectly crafted counter to Yubel's light of destruction. I imagine that it was planned by Yubel so that they would be locked in eternal combat with the Supreme King, which was what Yubel had thought of Jaden's purest form of love was. Then, when Jaden rejects the Supreme King, he would never be able to stand up to Yubel, so instead he offers Yubel the choice of denying the light of destruction by fusing, and so they both become one, with the light of destruction and the gentle darkness balancing each other out, to create the perfect sort of ying yang harmony, which could be one of the reasons why s4 Jaden is always lazing around, even more so than before. He definitely seems more at peace and whole, and I believe that is in no small part due to Yubel.

Please never stop talking about GX. I love it and your videos too

Yubel holds a special place in my heart, being THE antagonist in season 3 who acually did some serious longlasting shit and, like Marik, acually had a good reason to do so. Not to mention being nonbinary, which is just amazing to see in your favorite anime!

I think Yubel represents the primary arc of Judai's character. He starts off the series feeling that "Children's Card Games are for Fun!" and deals with it a bit in Season 1, a good amount in Season 2, and shatters in Season 3 when he realizes "these card games aren't just for fun." I think that's why he spends so much of Season 4 in a PTSD retreat because he's too incomprehensible for him to duel for fun anymore. They help arrange the match with past Yugi (w/ Egyptian Gods), and after a turn where he gets his field wrecked by Yugi, they just both break down laughing, talking how fun it is to play with another powerful player. He's able to admit that part of growing up is to recognize that there are serious moments where death is on the line...but life is about being able to have fun too. To the point where Atem comes out to have fun too, and chucks Osiris/Slifer at Judai just to prove the point. Only then is he able to use his playful post-duel catchphrase again. Everything past the first season of GX is real good.

All-time favorite character in Yu-Gi-Oh. You can never go wrong with more Yubel. Thanks for the vid! Yubel got some much deserved justice.

Yooo I was waiting for this, good job!

Thank you for explaining and uploading this to my friends on my birthday. For years I tried to explain to them about Yubel and why I love Yubel so much and you explained all of my points in a well detailed video.

I feel like if season 4 had more time to develop, judai could talk to Yubel like how Yugi talks to Atem and Astral talks to Yuma

Ok, time to talk about everyone's favorite topic on the internet: abuse. Yubel checks most of the boxes found in a abusive person. Isolates their target from their other friends and family, costantly twist every sign of pain and discomfort from said target as positive reactions, acting shocked and hurt when said target doesn't see it that way, etc. The fact that you even used the classic" well it make since given the environment they wer in" argument just makes the parallels more unsettling. Now I'm no stranger to stories like yubel and Jayden'a ending with them together, but what makes this worse to me is the fact that unlike those other stories, gx clearly understands how terrible of person yubel was doing everything she did.

Epic as always Melon , you're my number 1 when it comes to Yu Gi Oh lore narration!

I adore these videos so much. Thank you

RIP to her seiyuu T_T she played a great characters ` ~~ `

Judai's voice in his head is easily the most interesting

I know this video it's kinda old but recently watched the whole series in Japanese for the first time, but I think Judai has an opposite journey that of Yugi, Yugi had to teach the pharaoh to accept kindness and they end parting ways learning from each other, while Judai has to accept the supreme king's power and that he cannot expect to help his friends just with good actions (like Misawa tells him before he battles possessed Johan) and at the end he merges with Yubel embracing each other and accepting that his dark side can also be used for good. I think it's a cool opposite way of mirroring Yugi's story in a way

Literally I have never tapped so fast on a video, flipping love you!

Yubel's previous actions still makes me sick to this day. I'd be real pissed if I was a friend of Jaden's when finding out that Yubel and Jaden are now one.

Another thing I think makes the past life reveal feel so out of nowhere is that there is hints early on in season 3 at Judai being a reincarnation, with Johan's 'I feel like we've met somewhere before' line and Judai agreeing. So season 3 is implying Judai is a reincarnation, but with a connection to a totally different character, and then that line with Johan is never brought up again. And now there's that Pendulum card implying Johan is a reincarnation so maybe they did know each other?

Im in love with your content, and in love with Gx now too 🙌 keep up the great work!!

Best Video about one of my favorite Cards ever. You really did a good Job on this one and totally nailed it.

Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!!!! Yubel has always been my favourite GX villain and you perfectly captured why. I'm gonna re-watch this when it isn't nearly 2 am and attempt to leave a more coherent comment. But yes. Many yesses. Well done, you are correct.

Honestly the world of yu-gi-oh is so dark and full of so many truths. For starters is probably seto. He is the must insane character I have seen. He has both intelligent and cunning. And is such a tragic story. Someone who wanted to be different then his father but becomes even more corrupted then him even maybe. He turns a card game into a art of war. Training the youth to fight in a facility designed on fighting monsters. He's teaching the young to be warriors and to be capable of fighting what will come ahead as he and his company drill deeper to find even stronger and more valued monsters. Could be wrong and love to hear your criticisms, just have actual things to counter my argument.

Being shot into space is not great for someone's mental health.

Honestly when they fused that became one of my favorite anime scenes of all time. Also must be noted I am Italian so I watched gx in Italian and not gonna lie it was so much better than the english version!

not only does flame wingman look similar to yubel, the monster's effect is similar to yubel's: dealing damage to the opponent based on the atk of the monsters it battles. a watered down version of the effect.

Another point in Yubel’s favor is that they dueled a lot and had a pretty solid record, scoring a number of solid wins and never actually lost to Judai in a proper duel. Their only actual loss was when Jesse self-destructed to take them down with him. Also unlike Darkness/Nightshroud later they do this without any major cheats or absurd abilities. Which made both of Judai’s duels with them very intense.

Yo that edit at the end fucking got me so hard. The Supreme king eyes doubled me over in laughter. Top teir stuff. XD

Love your Gx videos there opening my eyes to so much I didn’t see when I watched it

sure yubel is cool, but satorius uses za warudo

I'm glad to see someone likes Yubel as an antagonist as much as I do! Awesome analysis! GX is my fave but since you showed him in the video... Kallin/Kiryu video in the future? :o

I'm here for all of this GX content haha. Brilliant video!

Just got back into yugioh related things back In July. I'm not sure how I found this channel and your videos tbh, but it was such perfect timing. Love your videos, even if they aren't Yugioh related. Top tier, keep up the good work and good luck in uni

Let’s keep in mind that the resolution of the dub was worse since it ended with Jaden dying

"You can never go wrong with more Yubel" I tend to agree, honestly

So much love for my favorite card, this is amazing

Yubel is my favorite yughioh character I'm glad you made a video about them

I'm still waiting for a GX movie, but now i mostly want it so we can see Judai shooting lasers again.

As a kid it was really scary and disgusting seeing them fuse together, without Yubel going through any redemption

I love the GX content, or YGO in general. Keep it up! I subbed for this :D

I've got this video from youtube recommendations about a month ago, while I was watching Gx. Tried watching it 'cause I remembered some things from when I first watched on tv. I only knew the third season, and I loved everything I remembered. Seeing this video made me realize I was not the only one who liked it, and gave me the will to keep watching. Now I've just finished the anime, and this video made me like it even more. Really didn't want to write a text this long but ok. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work, loved the others aswell. -From a new sub.

yubel-jaden and kisara-seto parallels are so interesting too. since seto is a villain he gets a peaceful heroic spirit and since jaden is a hero he gets a villainous spirit. but theyre still so very similar in everything else.

Yubel is based on that toxic lover that want to be with you but only keeps hurting you. I know that in GX writing they helped Yubel. But Dam that's a good villain.

Yubel was like the dark reflection of of the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. Loyal spirits out to protect their charge for all time but Yubel was twisted into something destructive.

Awesome video!! Keep up the great work!

as I'm watching this right now it has 0 dislikes it better stay that way cuz this was some good video

Yubel was always my favorite and I loved their design but the story behind yubel could have been explained a little better in the story tho, but the motivations yubel had for what they did isn't to farfetched when you take a deeper look at everything they been through. I mean look at what happens when people can not socialise in extreme cases they break mentally and yubel was basically being tortured on top of that it's no wonder they willingly accepted the light of destructions words because no one wants to believe that the person you love would hurt you without reason.

I like how yubel also got now support cards. Mainly the one yubel fusion monster that looks like yubel and flame wingman fused and the eternal favorite card

i absolutely love your gx videos! please never stop lol

I mean, dartz was filler, he wasn't in the original manga, kinda makes sense that he wasn't very consistent to the series

Don't worry, never enough of gx , or any other YGO (especially 5D's which is my fav

I love you channel more than any other Yugioh channel and I’m in Australia so I love your accent cause it feels like I’m talking to a friend about something I actually wanna talk to a friend about. Thank you!!!

Love the editing : )

I recently re-watched GX Season 3. The Kaiba Corp Experiment was to see if they could strengthen cards by exposing them to Outer Space. Neos absorbed the Darkness and Yubel absorbed the Light.

Imagine being a futa Yugioh card, can't be me. *Wait*

love these videos!

Your commentary is likely responsible for likely making GX my favorite series now, and it was likely my third favorite before. Thanks.
