It's funny how each members dueling style represents a business/work tactic Gansley-Having an overbearing work force that you can easily remove members Crump-Radical ideas that shape the mantra of the company Johnson-Shady business practices that are often swept under the rug Nezbit-Losing your self identity and becoming full time both in body and spirit, aka becoming a 9-5 robot. Lector-The endless pursuit of money.

Let's not forget that when they ritual summoned Mystic Dragon, they failed to meet the requirements. In the dub, it is stated that they needed five monsters of different attributes and used their Deck Masters as tribute. However, Nightmare Penguin and Deepsea Warrior are both water attributes.

Their dub names actually come from real life 4Kids Entertainment employees. Jamie Leitcher, Melanie Crump, Sarah C. Nesbitt, and John Gansley. That’s why LittleKuriboh called them “Team 4Kids” in the Abridged Series.

Even if the Big Five weren't deleted by Noah they would have died anyway when the missile destroyed the computer creating the virtual world.

PENGUINS! PENGUINS! *Pause* PENGUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!

I like how Nesbitt is the only one of the Big Five that actually succeeds in taking a body.

The duel with Nesbitt is one of my favorites.

Well, they at least used Tristan in the plot for once.

Hope you enjoyed! This episode felt like it took ages to make so please smash that like button!! Thank you to all the Patreons once again for supporting the channel! All the best!

These guys are so weirdly realistic looking for an anime like Yugioh. It’s just uncanny...

Not just because of jinzo, he also played a pretty sound strategy at the time could waves used in the early 2000's

Gainsley sounds like the embodiment of the "high IQ" meme.

Nesbitt:The reason they had that 5v2 duel at the end Also the reason Joey was able to help yugi win

Leichter was actually a pretty good duelist imo. Prob cause he just the best deck master

"taking turns to use his body" XD lol

Can you imagine if Judge Man had that deck master ability as its special effect? Would see alot more use in play.

I personally loved the big 5 as villains. And the virtual reality arc in general, it was the first time where we saw monsters dueling and it was awesome to watch! Nezbitt and Lector were always my favorites, maybe because they were the best duelists and the coolest looking.

Ahhh the Tea episode, for some reason they made that specific episode have really good art quality especially Tea's plot

Kaiba: and I think I'll fire that guy, that guy, that penguin, that other guy, and Lector

Adrian Randolph Crump III Surprisingly the only one of the Big Five (as of this writing) to have a full name in the dub. Also, the only one of the Big Five (as far as my knowledge goes) to have a middle name in any version of the series. I'm surprised to know that his father and grandfather share his name. Rather fitting for a higher-up business man.

the one thing that always intrigued me about the second arc is what would've happened if the big 5 had succeeded. does the whole thing turn into a slice of life show with a bunch middle aged to elderly japanese businessman in the bodies of teenagers? if yugi lost what would that mean for the pharoah? how would noah & the big 5 deal with marik?

One of the highlights for me that entire arc was Yugi's duel. In the sub, his opponent actually notes the differences in how Yugi himself approaches battle vs the spirit (tactical vs aggressive). It also doesn't hurt that little Kuriboh insists on nuzzling him affectionately :)

Oh no!! Its teamfour star...i mean team 4kids

LMAO, I was so mad when they cut from the Battle City Tournament to show this filler, but it end up being 1 of my favorite arc and pump up my favorite character in Kaiba as a True Threat to win the Battle City Tournament.

Good work mate. The "Lei" in "Leichter" is actually pronounced like "Lie". It's German for "easier". :)

It's the Penguin perv.

Ah Yes.... The old dudes who wanted teenage bodies to take over a company......

I was pretty surprised to see some of the big 5 use monsters seen in Yugi's, Joey's and Kaiba's deck

Leichter was my favorite Big Five member.

They were team 4 kids in yugioh the abridged version

Anyone remember when Crump possessed Tea in the abridged series?

The Big 5 pretty much depict real-life executives.

You forgot the two cards all 5 of these guys used during the 2v1 duel, A Deal with Darkness Ruler and Berserk Dragon

And Nezbitt was was the only one who lost his first duel by having his deck master destroyed.

Lector was easily the best duelist out of all of them

Hey, this is cheating, only 1 person per episode

4:41 Krump: PENGUINS!!!

Imagine if these five came back as the villains in a 4th season of VRAINS. Not only would it be hilarious to see them try and update their deck and duel properly, it would also be a good way to start easing Yusaku into dueling for fun again!

the big 5 virtually world arc was fucken hype

They appeared in the virtual world in cyberspace by Noah planning to get to earth as a disadvantage lead by the madness by the sins of the kaiba clan came before the big 5 who adopted seto and his bro.

Nesbitt was the only one in the Big Five to successfully to steal a body.

IT'S TEAM 4KIDS!

0:25 Wow. Kaiba have exodia and ouija board F card

Here's another idea for a Yu-Gi-Oh video; Discussing the cards used as a Deck Masters, and ranking them from worst to best.

5:39 i want that Revenge Sacrifise to be realised so bad

Is it just me or these Big Five's deck master skill sounds like a precursor to Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS' Skills in Speed Duel?

Sam I can't wait to see who you cover in the grand finale of Yu-Gi-Oh character profiles. I still think after that you should do character profiles for other card game anime. Because Yu-Gi-Oh is the tip of the iceberg for this genre and there's some other series I've heard that I would like to see you cover after the Yu-Gi-Oh character profiles series ends. For more information on what else you could cover I HIGHLY recommend you check out the What Happened To series by Negative Legend.

The big five were already working on duel links since the early 2000s. crazy

Five headed dragon!!! Hue hue hue

I love all of these suits in tristans eye to gether

Gansley's monsters were weird looking or just plain, I kind of like them

Would love more bio vids like these of other characters

You didn't mention the unique cards the Big Five used when they all control Tristan's body.

Penguins and great video Sam keep it up

4:01 i sure do love reading

okay so what is the name of the music you use when you tell a character's backstory cuz i want to know?

I think Darkness the wicked might be the knight referenced in the the flavor text of Serpent night dragon.

OH YOULL FIND OUT IM ABOUT TO SUMMON IT

Gansley was really interesting in the original Japanese version. Instead of being about business, he was all about ancient wars, constantly reciting proverbs from war generals about war tactics, and his dueling was based on those war tactics (particularly, about how defending is easier than attacking and that the best thing to do is to maintain the status quo, hence his whole strategy is just about playing weak monsters with nasty effects while he lets his opponent do the attacking until his opponent has nothing left anymore). Which makes sense, considering Kaiba Corporation used to be a producer of weapons of war.

I find it hilarious that the big 5 learned a children's card game to take over a business by force

Their duels were interesting (Johnson was the cheapest one)

Imagine a continuous card that lets young per turn for just 1000 lp nuke all your opponents monsters even during their turn, that’s cyber punk 2077 broken.

Oh yeah these guys were in the legendary heroes, and Noah Kabia saga

What is the name of the first background music playing?

Make a kaiba video please ❤

OH NO A WILD PINGUIN AS APEARD !

2:18 my inner 12 year old had to chuckle

I loved all of these guys, most of my friends thought they were boring old farts, but they were actually some of the most realistic people in the entire anime.

(8:22 & 8:28) We can assume one other fusion deck monster from these two: Labyrinth Tank, which requires Giga-Tech Wolf and Canon Soldier as material.

That was an abrupt start

They had every right to be made at Seto Kaiba as they did all the dirty work for him when he went against Gozaburo and then he simply betrayed them. This especially goes for Leichter, who practically helped raise Seto and Mokuba when they were children and was at one point the one of very few people actually close to them.

I subcribed!!

Who else realised when Kaiba showed his cards he had parts of exodia

hi I love your videos

THE big five hell yes! ❤❤❤ love them!

And the gx lick . Let's go 👁️😱

Oh Sam do Leon, Zigfried's brother, since his cards are getting printed.

We all know Slifer is the Executive Producer

Please do zarc next

hey sam wen u streaming also this is 1 of my fav character profiles #AllHailSam

8:32 Umm, that's an effect monster not a fusion. And if I remember correctly it was Duke who used Dimension Hole. Not Nesbitt.

These are the Big 5 who I nickname them with and to easily identify them through appearance: Gansley: chubby one Crump: creepy one (mustache guy) Johnson: cheater with the glasses Nezbit: Hot headed one Leichter: respectful one and uncle-like figure to Kaiba and Mokuba (bearded guy)

I wonder if they'll add the big five to duellinks

9:35 oh hey Norton

Amazing

Lecther sounded like Michael Rooker.

i used to think the art of dimension hole was just an eye.

Lecter is the only one of the big five that can actually duel

The control deck is basically FULL Counter

But the Robotic Knight guy is a awesome duelist

The Funfact about Leichter is, that he has the same German voice like Kogoro Mori from Detektiv Conan. 😁😁😃

Can u please do yugo or yuto next they where some of my favorite characters in yugioh arc v

Out of all the members of the big 5, i like Nezzbit's design the most

Whats the music

Here is my take... Chazz vs Ghansly Kromp vs Alexis Johnson vs Krowler Bastion, Cyrus and Hassleberry vs Nezbit Aster vs Lectier. Jaden and Jessie vs all of the big 5. Jaden vs Noha computer Adrian vs Gozaboru Kiba. Did I mention that the big 5 use the SEAL of orecalcoas?

There is 1 problem with using jinzo, you need amplifier, otherwise it will shut down your own traps

8:30 says fusion monster shows effect monster

Did anyone else realize seto has two exodia cards

These guys are my favorite yugioh characters

I don’t think this is the last time we see him in that I think he’s in gx
