I remember back in the day how the concept of Yugioh on motorcycles sounds absurd, which is saying something since we had an entire season about an academy dedicated to dueling. Little did we know that the concept is a lot more interesting thanks to the execution. Thanks for breaking down the rules for us, TGS Anime!

In one of the world championship games for the DS, they had the relay tournament. I cheesed those by making an Exodia deck, because as soon as you drew all five pieces in the first duel you would still have them in hand for all subsequent duels. It was hilariously cheap... though the duels themselves were kinda buggy, too.

I don't know if it counts as a rule or not, but a common thing that happens in 5Ds is that, if a player loses a turbo duel, their duel runner automatically hits the breaks and goes to a full stop....which, honestly, I found it to be one of the most dangerous parts of turbo dueling. You are driving on a highway at high speed and suddenly the bike jams because your life points hit 0.

An easy way to bring Turbo Duels to ‘life’ is to model it after a motorcycle arcade game. Something that was even shown in the anime. And there would pre constructed virtual decks in the system. But more crucially there would be a deck holder around the arm section or towards the front so that way players can use their own deck in turbo duels and see their cards come alive on screen.

As neat as it was to see turbo duels to return in Arc-V, it really was just an aesthetic. Speed World - Crossover Accel basically just functions as a no-effect field spell. Writers didn't want to go through the hassle of implementing how Action Spells would factor in to proper turbo duel rules, after all.

I like how something called "̶S̶p̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶D̶u̶e̶l̶"̶ "Turbo Duel" has mechanics, that would slow down today's meta-game considerably. Speed Counters could act as a natural floodgate or balance-mechanic, to avoid the meta to evolve into who can spam their deck into an unbreakable board first. Imagine, if Invocation would cost you a couple Speed Counters to active. The mana-comparison was very apt. Makes you wonder, if the game designers thought of this and at the time were trying to see, if it would catch on as a format. Edit: Thanks for pointing out the error of Speed Duels =/= Turbo Duels. I was aware of them, but Duel Links somehow slipped my mind.

"The reason why normal spell cards can't be used in a Turbo Duel is simply because they are just not fast enough to keep up with the pace of a duel." Ah yes, because when I think speed, my mind goes to a mechanic where I have to wait a couple or even several turns to use my spells by letting my speed counters build up.

agh yes the best yugioh series finally being acknowledged again the last time you did that was with yusei vs kalin

The visuals of a non-tuner tuning with a tuner while they float accelerating forward will never get old.

I now find myself wondering, why did the original Ener-D reactor have a giant red button specifically to cause it to reverse in rotation and explode?

I was introduced to Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds and turbo duels in the Nintendo DS games. There was a whole different kind of strategy when creating new decks in turbo duels

I remember in one of the world championship games for ds, I used to use an earthbound immortal deck for turbo duels. Felt great abusing the permanent field spell.

kinda wish that Konami would make a special duel type mode with turbo rules its legit sounds fun

When I played the 5ds DS games, the Acadia and Nexus games specifically. I notice two ‘oddities’ with the Acadia game, namely with turbo duels and even the story. Firstly, instead of the original speed world field spell, it’s Spell world 2. And secondly, when the crismon dragon markings are all shown, it includes the heart symbol. Something that is shown in the nexus game as well. What more is that you get to see Aki learning to turbo duel in the post game of Acadia. These are interesting to me because these games were released, I believe long before these concepts were used in the anime. I know the heart symbol fits this category, but spell world 2 may also fit. So another reason why I really appreciate those games is how they foreshadow certain concepts in the anime as a sort of major sneak peek.

I'm surprised that despite Turbo Dueling was the main gimmick in Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, besides Synchro Summoning of course, Konami decided to not create a OCG/TCG version of this duel game. I mean sure, it'd probably be impossible to duel on a motorcycle, but at the same time, they could've created both the Speed World and Speed World 2 Field Spells, and created the Speed Spell counterparts of the various Spell cards, and it might've worked. I mean, if Konami can create a real life Dungeon Dice Monsters game, (both as a board game and at least two video game versions,) of which DDM only appeared in 3 episodes in the original Yu-Gi-Oh series, then I don't see why they couldn't do the same thing with Turbo Dueling.

2:08 imagine dueling the insurance to get it to work. The amount of life points at the end of the duel is how much money you save (wait that’s a terrible idea. Marik (possessing someone else while playing Slyther) managed to get infinity life points somehow-)

Yusei must’ve been grandfathered through the license requirement, since people from Sattelite couldn’t have cards legally, safe to say riding a duel runner was probably illegal too…

This actually gave me an idea for a video: Can you do a tier list of all speed spells? Ignoring the speed counter requirement how good would their effects be in the IRL game?

I honestly would love for Master Duel to incorporate Turbo Duels into it. It would make Synchro and XYZ decks more fun to play without the opponent instantly ruining the field their first or second turn.

My friends who play Magic: Why doesn't Yu-Gi-Oh use a mana system? It's stupid. Me getting on a motorcycle: A'ight bitch...

0:18 In Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V, there is some Turbo Dueling Field Spells called “Speed World Neo” and “Crossover XLR8ion” shows that you don’t have to use Speed Spell cards like in 5Ds, but you can use Action Cards to make the Turbo Duel more interesting

Man it must suck playing something like Ancient Gears or Spellbooks in a Turbo Duel

I remember a case with a 3 v 3 relay duel in the anime, where Jack crashed his bike (I think due to sabotage) and lost, so he had to swap out to the next team member to carry on - but he couldn't actually swap to the next team mate until he crossed the finish line, so he had to physically push his broken bike the rest of the lap. Additionally, and this is perhaps the most important part because this could presumably apply outside of tournament settings as well: *every time he got lapped, his opponent gained a Speed Counter.* Not only that, but once his opponent hit 12 Speed Counters, further laps removed Speed Counters from Team 5Ds, and if they got lapped again with 0 counters, they would have lost the match entirely (so, naturally, Yusei was able to tag in at the last possible second before that final lapping would have occured)

I remember turbo duels being sick as hell in the 5Ds DS game. They were so much fun!

I actually always liked Turbo Duels, while almost everyone thought that is was absurd "dueling on a motorcycle"... like, instead of thinking that it was weird, I usually thought to myself how interesting and dangerous it is, which is what made me like it.

Actually you can have turbo tag duels one of the players sits on a side car while this is happening (it was shown in the anime with the machina sniper guy) and in the videogames there is an exploit, if you have exodia when and there is a next opponent (wrgp rules) you win the next duel too and so on.

On TCGs, the "mana" mehanic on Digimon TCG is really good, since its not only your actions, but your entire turn and even your oponents response The sistem is a 0 to 10 counter to both sides, all cards can theoretically be played, but you have to pay their cost, each turn, if the oponent ends their turn with "mana" left, the bar automatically moves to 3 on your side, there are effects to give you more of course, but here is the kicker, as I said, you can theoretically play any card, even if you dont have the mana to do so, so what happens is you go into the oponents mana side and inmediatly ends your turn and they keep that mana for their turn, yes, that means you can leave them with only 1 mana, but also miss count and end your turn early without attacking, and also, the player may play a card that they absolutely need to keep on, but is of high cost and give you more than 3 mana in your turn

Personally, i think a practical way to do turbo duels and regular duels with the duel disk system would be through arcade style machines. Think about it, a double sided acrade machine with equal real time display on the screen, a duel disk mount to place on for standing duels and a varriation with the same kinda motorcycle ride setup like at other arcades fixed with the duel disk display on it, and finally cards that can be read on the machines like how the injusitce arcade machine works. I’m kinda amazed konami hasent done this yet.

Speed Duel was an interesting concept in the 5Ds Era, and Yusei's friend, Crow, had my favorite Duel Runner and stupendous deck: The Blackwing.

Didn't mention Speed World Crossover field spell from Arc V, a blend of Turbo and Action dueling.

The card games on motorcycles joke at the start make me laugh more than I would like to admit lol

Hopefully we’ll see a Madolche Archetype video soon I love the way you cover the archetypes of cards. My favorites being the Elemental Hero, Evil Hero, Ghostrick, Cyber Dragon, and Red Eyes.

The thing I love about the concept of turbo duels was that it make the reliance on trap cards relevant and you had to work your way up to using spells The thing a hated was that it made many irl cards be traps cause they had to be traps in the anime when they are effects much better suited as spells

One thing you could have mentioned here would be the additional rules during the WGP tournamet e.g. if your opponent completes a lap and you are lagging behind then they gain 1 speed counter and that if the speed counter difference becomes too large then you would get disqualified

Hey love the videos and all these sorts of breakdowns!

I thought there was a rule that if your opponent lapped you, it also counted as a loss for you. It's been so long that I can't remember for sure, but I think it was in one of the tournament arcs.

So fun bit of trivia I learned from spellcommander. The idea behind 5ds perpetual motion machine is based off of scientific ideas even down to the idea of hard light gears solving that whole degradation problem. The concept of a zero reverse is more than the gears just start spinning in the opposite direction. The idea of a reverse is when the gears spin so fast they run into each other’s momentum it hits itself generating an explosion more powerful than a nuclear warhead.

It was fun back in the day playing Yugioh 5D's world champion 2011: Over the Nexus. A portion of the game forced you into turbo duels. You'd drive your customized wheel around a track for a lap to determine who went first and played a pretty unique duel right after. 5D's really had some unique/weird ideas and it makes me love it more for each..

Yo my man with a new cut and drop. Looking fresh

Can you do a "declen about to win against yuya" vid

in Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V, Speedworld Neo, and Crossover XLR8ion don't do speed spells, just Action cards

Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, the series that solved the energy crisis

Would love to hear you explain action duels and all the action cards that can be used.

Thank you so much! As great as 5D’s is I was pretty confused how the mechanics of turbo dueling were different from regular dueling and what the speed spell and speed counter stick was about.

The next set of rules is action duels, basically card games plus parkor. . Also action spells are garbage

i love how the reverse spin is basically the optical illusion you get from a fast moving object where your eyes cant see how fast its moving so you see it moving backwards instead.

Youre videos have been the reason why i got into Yu Gi Oh

great video, can you do one describing the true rules of Action Duels?

Regarding autopilot i doubt that it can be turned on or off at will, but rather needs to be set before the duel. 1) In the dark signer arc for example the big riding duels past kiryu are done with manual mode explicitly set in advance first noted instance being crow's duel against bomber. 2) in the instances where yusei dueled ushio couldn't he just turn autopilot off if he didn't want to duel him (notably in ep 12 and 3) although in these instances at the very least one could say that maybe because ushio forced the speed world that autopilot was forced on too as a police function Also auto pilot is NOT disabled just because of speed world 2 (as seen in ep65 where it says that the autopilot is on standby, as literally everytime manual mode isn't used) autopilot is only off because of a choice before the duel or by specific rules like the wrgp and iirc the driving school

0:40 Duelboards : Are we a joke to you ?

I saw that small Eye of Judgement clip, man that game was so cool back in the day!!

I didn't recognize you without the beard! Awesome content man. I'm definitely a fan.

I’ve actually done this with a friend. We went out to an empty field and hooked up a bunch of stuff: a card holster on our handle, a hand holder on our forearm, our phone was strapped onto the top of the gas cap so we could adjust life points and counters. It was ally of fun and proved a theory I had been working on when it comes to developing and auto pilot system and a duel runner itself. Granted the runner I’ve designed runs on electricity but it’s definitely viable if developed

One rule I like that could be fun in a turbo-dual is that you have two sets of spell cards. One set are your normal spell cards we know an love, while the others are the speed-spell. The mechanic would be that as the speed counters on speed world increase the time it takes for a normal-spell to take effect is increased causing them to be more of a delayed spell effect, while for me turbo/speed-spells would need you to expend speed counters to both cast them as a resource. I could even see it that some normal-spells could have additional effects that are triggered by spending speed-counters as a resource for the spell's use. Making it that normal spell effects are delayed by on how many speed-counters you have, but also that using speed/turbo-spells cost you speed counters to use them could be a interesting dynamic to have both being usable.

The villains totally didn't get there licenses

Imagine a VR turbo duel game. They can also make it a 3rd a person game where you control your motorcycle with your left joystick and set/play cards with your right, same goes with pc except you use wasd/mouse. Screw the cards, I'd pay money to customize my duel runner.

I miss playing turbo duels on the old World Championship video games. I hope Konami eventually brings them back in a future game.

"Would cause a catastrophic explosion " KZfaq: IMMEDIATELY GIVES ME AN ADD ABOUT INSURANCE 😂

Sam looking like the main character in The Matrix with the all black, I dig it😎👌🏿

Sam. I need that beard back. ASAP! Also, this was awesome to see. I never really had seen the entire 5D’s series so I always thought it was a cool mechanic but never understood it. So thanks!!! I love your videos!!!!!!! I love you too!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

I like for an fact that most people drop off this kind of Yu-Gi-Oh show due to involving " card games on motorcycle " thing that seems to be dumb idea, yet it later was an cult followers and became one of; if not, the best of the Yu-Gi-Oh shows. This & GX are tied for me as my favorites.

fun fact in the 5Ds Manga there's a Exclusive rule for Turbo dueling since "Speed World" does not exist in the Manga, it more so focus on the motor duelist driving skills and one of the rules is this the person who cross the finish line first automatically wins the duel.

I love Turbo Duels! I replay the 5ds World Championship games just to enjoy them, especially Over the Nexus since it has Speed Spell Ritual Spells! Two things I would like to point out. 1) Despite the whole “No one uses normal spells”, there are moments where they can be seen in player’s hands even though they go unused. 2) Turbo/Riding Duels in the manga are just normal dueling except on motorcycles or horses. The difference is that you lose if you stop or in some case your opponent crosses the finish line first on top of normal dueling conditions. In the manga players have something called sense/feel when they duel and this basically causes attacks to deal real damage based on how fast they are going. Players can use this to destroy the track to force their opponent to stop. Yeah…I really love this format. I once printed off all of the cards after making them legible via a card maker site, stuck them into sleeves with traditional playing cards and basically made my own turbo duel decks. Unfortunately I lost them years ago and just haven’t bothered to do it again. I do feel like Turbo Duels as shown in Duel Links can be fun and I do hope that method, along with Action Duels, get brought back in some form when Duel Links inevitably ends. I doubt Konami will ever actually print the cards and aside from cards that emulate the rules somewhat, video games are going to be the only official way to keep formats like this alive.

Talking about autopilot system, it reminds me about Yugo's case in Arc-V where he had to switch the autopilot off due to some malfinctioning in autopilot auto-tracking

Imagine if the 'take 2000 damage for activating a non speed spell' thing actually got used in the anime and someone just pulled out a regular ass field spell, destroying Speed World through game mechanics. Goodwin coulda done that, he had the LP to spare and he also wasn't actually racing, just kinda standing there :P actually kinda surprised no one ever pulled out something like 'Speed Spell - Speed World 3' mid-duel with brand new effects for speed counters, that could've been an interesting spin on the established rules (maybe using them to substitute for levels in a synchro? That'd be kinda fitting with the whole Accel Synchro thing, aka literally a synchro summon you do by going fast)

You forgot to mention that you can't use equip spells during a turbo but there is a loophole with that tactic with monster treating them as equip spells which armoury arm dose

Maybe in 10 years, we'll have the virtual reality capability needed to create a duel runner.

shame the turbo dules In arc v didn't follow these rules

You could’ve pointed out the YuGiOh games on Nintendo ds that had turbo dueling built in. They didn’t let you turn off auto pilot but they were pretty fun

nobody apsolutly nobody Jack atlas:CARD GAMES WHILE standing completely still on the ground Yusei:DAFUG

It's time to rev it up. Man I need to rewatch 5ds now.

If we get a format change to Turbo duels, it'll prevent a lot of OTK (and hilariously slow down the duel) I believe becuz of the Speed Counter restriction/condition.

Fun fact. Greiger (Bommer in the original) was the only duelist to possess a non speed spell in his deck during a turbo duel. He didn't actually play it, he used it as a discard cost for his Flying Fortress SKYFIRE.

2:20 with how ubiqitous dueling is in this universe, its probably covered by normal tax, like how the hospital visit i had 1 month ago (on the date actually) didnt cost me anything other than a fuckton of stress, but thats a different story.

Fun trivia. Yusei was seen having a non Speed-Spell spell card in his hand during a Riding Duel once. Needless to say, he never even played it.

Kinda a shame that Turbo Dueling never carried into the real world. Not the bit where you ride motor cycles, but just make the Speed World and Speed Spell cards in the real world so we can use the turbo duel rules on a regular play mat. Could have been another alternate way to play along with the speed duel and master duel formats.

Turbo Duels seem like the perfect type of game to be made into VR.

Why does my man look like Baron Zemo in this video?! Not a bad look though lol. Great video, always wanted to know the specifics cuz I was always confused watching the show

Fun fact a sudo turbo duel was kind of in the original series during S5E34 Atem and Bakura are dueling on horse back and apon seeing that scene I was like ancient turbo dueling

In the World Championship Games for DS you could play Speed Duels as Standard Duels with Speed Counters. That's where the 2000 LP Penalty from normal Spells comes into Play Also in 1 Duel of the WRGP a Rule is explained that if you are an entire Lab ahead of your Opponent you get 1 Speed Marker. If I remember correctly. Crow had a Problem with his D-Wheel that slowed him down. So he had to Tag out to Jack as quickly as he can while his Opponent Stacks this Effect

Also don't forget your -ridicolous- awesome summoning chant when summoning a boss monster ! P.s. I miss old DS Yu-Gi-Oh game so much... There's even actual 3v3 tournament in campaign .

Speaking of 5Ds, would love to see something about the Machine Emperor cards (which came to the tcg as the Meklord Emperor cards). The anime had them as these powerful 5-in-1 monsters, but they're just regular monsters in the tcg.

I wish Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds would have season 3 in English Dub and the Field Spell "Speed World 3"

If anyone ever wants to do turbo duels irl using the tcg/ocg, they can probably just use the Duel Links rules. The speed counters are accumulated by the player, meaning they have the field spell slot open for use. Then just pick what "duel runner" skill you want to use for the rest of the duel.

TGS Anime: Don't try it at home!! Don't Turbo Duel!! Me: *Buys a D-Wheel and goes to the Yu-Gi-Oh world and starts Turbo duel*

That button for the ener D reactor seems like a design flaw

I remember have this idea where their was sector security officer who Everytime he lose and his duel runner would stop, he would fall out and crash into somewhere and it would explode, which he come out only with minor damage

I really like your background music. Do you have a playlist or something with all of your background music?

Turbo Duels were interesting because of the fact you could extend the time to react through skilled driving. Action Duels were similar in their ability to make duels more interesting but, not as successful. Whether because of something in the concept itself or the series it appeared in is a different matter.

Ah, also don't forget that extensive use of the ener-d may cause an ancient robot race to go on earth and start blasting everyone

I have wanted this video for ever

You forgot neo speed world from arc-v. Ik its a completely different timeline but still they do have turbo duels however they are now allowed to activate regular spells speed spells dont exist in arc v nor do they have speed counters to use. Although now instead of speed spells there are action cards laying on the track that the duelists can pick up makes me think of the 5ds wheelie breakers videogame for the wii the cards would be on the track and you drive into them to draw them its technically a racing game and not so much dueling but that's what I loved about the game. But yeah absolutely love turbo duels both 5ds and arc v

Card games on motorcycles! I still remember when they first announced the idea of Turbo Duels and everyone was like “that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!”

I like the Duel Runner as F1, IMSA, IndyCar, and NASCAR

Fantastic video! Also too much Ener-D also summons forth giant machine terminators because "Synchro Summoning should never evolve" and wipes out all of humanity. YEA FOR CLEAN ENERGY? Also makes sense why the Manga of 5d's handle "Turbo Duels".

Actually speed world can be removed from the field by the effect of a card that affects the player like evenly matched. I’ve tested it on edopro and it did work.

I never thought I’d see the day when a yugioh related video came with a “don’t try this at home “ warning

When I was a kid, I thought turbo duels were kind of stupid but now I realize that are a very cool and unique way to duel. They make the duels very intense and interesting to watch and I was bummed that we can't mimic that type of dueling in the real world. Although I also understand that it would VERY dangerous to try that normally and that I can definitely see the Magic the gathering influence, which is interesting since I won one duel of Magic despite it being my first game lol. Awesome video TGS!

I remembered playing turbo duels against cpus where they abuse speed world by summoning Sin monsters. Such a pain to get rid of them when the field is indestructible.

You know in manga they added a little spice for turbo duel that will increase the impact of monster attack to your opponent the faster you drive
