Now for the preliminary duels, meaning everything from Joey vs Seeker up until Bakura vs Bonz

I've been meaning to ask but what are the songs you used in these videos

@@anonluxor470 There's a post in his community tab where it lists the songs he uses, they're all from the KZfaq library

Great job!

Appreciate it sam! Gonna watch this while playing Yugioh on my ps4

Had a feeling the new footage so far is the beginning explaining how the Finals Duel pairs were determined. Mind you I'm on Bakura Vs Yugi right now, so I don't know if there's nothing else new.

I forgot who won the tournament so I need to rewatch

🙏 🙏

Literally 😂😂 I rewatch these all the time anyway lol

@@tyquil825 I won the tournament!

@IliasAngel22 Pretty sure he meant the first duel with Joey specifically

The main thing with battle city is Joey should have beaten Marik. That would’ve been a ridiculous plot twist. I know you’d have the issue of Ra in his deck

@@sun332s7 I was kinda referring in general how when there are better and faster plays to win a duel, that has to be abandoned for the plot, in order to have suspenseful and exciting scenes. What Battle city has shown are the following: 1: Marik and Bakura (particulary Bakura) are not very good duelist due to them wanting to torture their opponents too much, rather than quickly winning. 2: Kaiba, Mai, Ishizu wanted a perfect victory and humiliate their opponents with God cards. (Ok Ishizu not that much, because she was following a prediction, but sorta counts) that would've cost them the duel. In this case Mai. 3: Rules are not always consistent. Like the example with XYZ dragon cannon being able to attack the turn it is summoned. Whereas Thousand dragon is not allowed due to them being fusion monsters that don't require polymerization. 4: Plot and exciting action scenes dictates all. But going back to your comment about Joey winning against Marik. We all as viewers wanted that and were gutted when he passed out. But also if Joey did managed to land the attack and got Ra. Can you imagine how funny that would've been. I mean Joey attempting to recite the ancient text, but he can't remember it and is constantly thinking and pondering during a duel or scenario 2: he does recite it and we seen that glowing gold aura around him with closed serious eyes, but Ra doesn't show up, because he pronounced 1 word wrong and good Marik (if he is saved) facepalming himself in the face.

@@Animating_Andy I thought up a scenario that fixes that: Joey wins, but still passes out. Yami Marik goes crazy and disappears until after Yugi and Kaiba finish their duel, with Ra still in his possession. Things go normally until just before the final, when Yami Marik reappears and challenges Yugi. Kaiba allows the duel and, after being coaxed by Ishizu and Mokuba, gives Yugi Fiend's Sanctuary. After the duel, Marik gives the Millenium Rod to Yugi and Ra to Joey as his rightful prize. Joey, knowing he can't use Ra, offers it to Yugi, who counters by giving back Red Eyes in exchange, saying that Joey has more than proven himself. The finals take place, and the arc ends as close to the original as possible from that point.

@@petersimpson4648 to be fair in the normal scenario joey is implied to have beat yugi off screen for his red eyes back.

@@petersimpson4648 I like this but I'd merge it with another fan idea that was posited on another of TGS's videos: Joey puts Ra in his deck for the final duel and, having survived Ra's wrath TWICE (once in the duel with Odion and once against Marik), has earned Ra's respect and is able to summon it by tributing his other three prize cards (Legendary Fisherman, Insect Queen, Jinzo) and win. When Yugi offers up his god cards as per the rules of Battle City, Joey says he wants his Red-Eyes back, as it's the best card for *him*.

God bless and stay safe!

Yo wtf im here in tucson watching the same thing

This is the most fellow Tucson people I've run into on the internet outside of AZ specific sites/pages.

Or when joey wins, ra respects him enough to listen to him even without the ancient ancestor.

I agree with every duel you listed

Seconding this! :D

The Yliaster team is called Team New World.

Me too! ☺️

Same, 4 in the morning n half way thru lol

Yugioh GX needs to learn this lesson. Judai gave so many homie turns to his opponent.

These are already in the description

Still helpful on versions of KZfaq that doesn't let you see/read the description?

​@@johnnymarencobullshit you still can read that yet but you guys are LAZY

​@@johnnymarenco and what versions would that be

@@johnnymarenco what version of youtube doesnt let you see descriptions but can see comments? Mobile allows for description, the only thing I can think of that doesnt show descriptions are videos embedded into websites, but you cant see comments on those either

Actually, he's 33% of the way done with Dawn of the Duel. There's the duel with Bakura vs Kaiba at the start of the arc which Bakura stopped after he'd powered up Diabound enough.

I admit to being curious to see what an 'analysis' of the Duelist Kingdom duels would be like, when either player can just pull out an "attack the moon" move whenever it suits them

Still waiting on a Was Pegasus About to Defeat Yugi

@@hugz4genestealers Yeah. There are a lot of weird ones. I think Mai vs Tea might be one of the more normal duals. Maybe Kaiba vs Pegasus is normal.

Fair, but in the anime they can summon monsters in face up defense.

@@chronowolf4734 That and it likely followed the manga in which Bakura needed 3 zombie/fiend attack mode monsters destroyed within the first 5 turns to summon Necrofear then trigger Dark Sanctuary to also play Destiny Board. Supposedly, you can't play your letters if Necrofear isn't in your GY.

You know what, I had never thought of the implications tou are mentioning. I wholeheartedly agree. Plus, her millenium eye not being able to see thw future since she would be battling a "ghost of the past" that had no place in the present/future would make way much more sense than Kaiba "changing the future" due to plot armor.

Additionally, while I understand the point, it's a bit of a pity that no God cards was summoned in the four-way duel. Seeing everyone but Joey summon a God card would have been hylarious.

Equip spells don't work on Gearfried.

@@mystery8820 sure-but in one duel it says shrink it doesnt affect him but in the other we clearly see it does

@@Userth1609 Remember the battle royale to determine the brackets? Shrink worked on Gearfried.

@@mystery8820 correct-in the battle for the bronze with kaiba I believe he says shrink doesnt affect gearfielr

@@Userth1609 Yeah, that is a plot inconsistency there. It would have been better for the plot's dialogue if Kaiba played Shrink, Joey assumed it's on Gearfried... then did a fake out using Shrink on Ryu-Kishin to destroy Joey's deck with Crush Card.

Looking forward to the Battle City death matches, I'm partial to Yugi v. Joey. And, I'd love a version of this for The seals of Oricalcos, you can't have many more of those to make, right?

Makes me think of Sapphires from Steven Universe A member of a race of alien inorganic life, Sapphires are made to be able to see the future accurately. However, due to that, they only see futures where they take no actions themselves(and also only the most likely of occurrences, people who dont think before they act really can interfere with the prophesied senario). To be clear, they absolutely can make choices that would change the things they see, but their nature makes such actions unthinkable without outside interference.

Bad writing indeed, with so many cards in Yusei's GY, he coukd have played his new fusion differently and go for game sooner.

Raigeki was banned. Marik just didnt give a damn. Out of context it was just the manga writer telling everyone he knows these cards exist, but he does not like using them in his duels.
