Absolutely... And that's happened quite a few times for sure

Yusei Kiryu Round 1 is absolutely incredible

*your debut

@@christopherb501 thanks

Thought you meant debit card at first

And a pretty elaborate combo to bring out two number monsters at his first turn

And the main characters were shitting bricks just thinking about him for the next 20 eps

@@timothyskidmore1554I think it’s rather interesting to make the Number Hunter treat the Numbers he has won as a means to an end. It showed that he wasn’t going to be like prior duelists Yuma won against, who relied on their Numbers to get them through. Top this off with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon being the perfect antithesis of most Xyz monsters, and you have a good opening duel to a new character. And this is further cemented by Astral and Yuma being shook by that duel for a good few episodes afterwards.

I remember being quiet excited to see galaxy eyes. Wish the same could be said about Yuma and astral

And then he still never lost the rest of the time only drew in his series

I want to get into it but I can rarely take Yuma’s hairstyle seriously which says a lot for Yugioh

I would say that the moment that the series became more serious was when IV almost killed tetsuo and class represent.

@@basik4439 Yuma's hairstyle isn't any worse than the rest. Especially when compared to Yuya and Yusaku

@@tsunax1400 The was it looked in the rain after losing to Kaito was nasty Yuya’s bair was a lot better than Yuma’s

I think Zexal's issue is it has an INVERSE problem of the other series. Where as other series start strong, and become mid. Zexal starts Mid and becomes better. that and Zexal (along with Sevens now) has no way to offically watch the subbed versions.

Shun is the second best character in Arc v besides Reiji

And be likely had the pendulum XYZ monster he used in their second duel because he talked about going beyond pendulum in that duel.

Imagine if Yuya had Maxx c in his hand

yeah very true, that duel debut should be rated very high aswell!

My favorite part of that duel was Vetrix saying “Yuma! Come and see how my life stinks! I am trapped in a horrible combo from which there is no escape!” 😆

His final duel with Shark was awesome

Yeah. Also, he defeated Todoroki who has defeated Yuma in the past.

Seeing IV just dismantled those two garbage over and over again was the best feeling ever

IDK if anything can beat out the whole presentation of Kaito. It was so freaking good

Kaito best rival and best character in zexal

@@AbsoluteZero-lv8js crying from Kaito’s death

​@fxzzy Ai death is the only thing made me heartbreaking

@@AbsoluteZero-lv8js yeah that death was tragic

Kaito had that win in the bag, no questions asked. Leaving early because of familial reasons added a LOT of depth to his character.

His whistle is Hart's theme actually and I love it

@@cameraredeye3115 Yeah but it would’ve been better if we saw him finish off Yuma in the duel though it was a awesome duel nonetheless

@@deckardshaw6696 Is it? How do you know?

@@rainbowdragon168 You can just listen to them

Unfortunately he died just a few episodes later

Very true!! But IDK if it would count for this list cause Yuga *technically* dueled before in Sevens! Either way though, it was an awesome moment to see!

@@YugiohEverything My apologies . I thought debuts in another show when they’d already been in one still counted By your criteria , I’d have to say Ai had the most badass debut duel Queen had a powerful field and Ai obliterated it by spamming the summoning methods . Really got Declan Akaba vibes from that 😃😃

Well Edo dueled once before his duel against Kaiser, which is a shame because this duel was absolutely shocking

Sorry about my other reply I didn't realize you were talking about Pegasus but I'd consider Pegasus first duel would be yugi through the vhs tape when he takes grampas soul

@@bigfish5544 what duel was that if you don’t mind?

@@madham4198 he dueled Judai in episode 53, where he only used random cards he had just bought out of a structure deck moments prior

@@bigfish5544 oh right, thought that was after zains duel

The Kaito whistle entrance...

​@@YugiohEverything Kaito is that badass

Kaito is the best rival ever

There are definitely a lot of great moments in rush anime. I think the accessibility is a huge turnoff for a lot of people, VRAINS was so easy to watch cause of Crunchyroll. Alot of people just refuse to use third party sites to watch anime. The style change and comedy focus certainly are a factor as well

@@YugiohEverything and on crunchyroll only Zexal dub exists sadly

Never ever. Those crap is hurting my IQ and ego. No matter how money you give me the result won't change.

I would only watched DM→Vrains

​​​​@@YugiohEverything I can watch without any caption help. I didn't use crunchyroll to Vrains

Reasons why sub is better smh

A true yugioh anime fans would never ever watched the dog shit dub

​@@AbsoluteZero-lv8js i watch both

​​@@AbsoluteZero-lv8js true fan wouldn't be so presumptuous as to assume they know what the definition of one even is.

@@AbsoluteZero-lv8js facts

I appreciate that very much. I'm trying to get back to uploading Top 10s every weekend! :)

@@YugiohEverything After watching everything, I agree with your top pick. Watching Shay (I watched dub) have a PTSD monologue and pull a win was one of the coolest moments in all of yugioh. Watching go the trio go from smug to panicking was super satisfying and cemented how dangerous he was. It set up the Shay vs Sora duel later in the season very well.

@@YugiohEverything Your vids are awesome, keep it up

Even crazier is that Jack did EXACTLY what he said he was gonna do. I'm surprised this one isn't Top 5 tbh.

Jack: "Listen up, Yuya. You call yourself a dueltainer? Well, here's my review: your performance was abysmal, mediocre at best. And I'm gonna bring the curtain down on you!" Also, I almost fainted when the dub brought back his duel and RDA theme.

@@thedragonknightvolga4194 I paraphrase it all the time, when I'm winning in Master duel with a synchro deck.

@@viktorzahariev2485 Yep. Such an awesome moment

Dextra is called Dolowa/Droite in the Japanese version.

Thank you, and have a great rest of your weekend!!

@@YugiohEverything Same!

Thanks so much man! And yes same!!

The Japanese version is such a great watch. Shame people's first impression was the awful English dub

Vrains is my favorite

​@@ak47dragunov English dub is for those garbage American crap to watch. Not us

​@Asher A true yugioh anime fans would never ever watched the dog shit dub

@@ak47dragunov I watched dub and I still liked it but man sub was something else. Quattro's introduction when he summoned number 15 was just so hype.

I'm glad you included Sevens and Go Rush

@@heatsflamesman5353 Thanks

1:Shun 2:Zexal Kaito 3:Ai 4:Kiryu 5:Yuto

Yuesi vs Kiryu Round 1 the best duel in 5ds.

@@AbsoluteZero-lv8js Agreed

Wasn’t that an FTK? Either way, winning a duel in one attack like that was a pretty big deal, especially with a Lv 4 monster.

His anime theme was incredible

Also he's the only one who able to push Playmaker to the absolute limit. Also almost beat him clean. He did defeat him in the original ending

His power in season 3 already surpassed all the characters in the show including Playmaker

Garbage

Kiryu vs Yusei

Ed VS Manjoume. But in a very bad way. Ed didn't get a single important win after Season 2. And I honestly completely forgot that Aoi hit her face in the floor but Ed's loss to Manjoume of all people was already humiliating, but losing to ojama yellow showed how the writers didn't care about Ed at all after Season 2. After that season, arguably one of the strongest duelists who beat Judai, Kaiser and DD became a bigger jobber than Aoi Zaizen.

Sadly does not qualify

They played ride of the Valkyries when Zigfried was trouncing rex and weevil in the Japanese version

Technically Ed/Aster's first duel was against Judai/Jaden, which he threw it just to test Judai's power, so it doesn't really count. But yeah. Seeing Ed beat Kaiser and then seeing the latter become the Hell Kaiser was amazing. Kaiser was kind of a mary sue in season 1 and I think him developing was amazing. And if it wasn't for that duel, that would never have happened.

@@x-mighty7602 Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot about that duel, since Aster really wasn't using his deck (just a deck he made with cards from the shop). So it literally was Aster's first duel in the series, but I consider his metaphorical first duel to be when he toyed with Zane. Such a memorable and impactful duel

That duel is perfect

Ai just obliterate Queen in one single turn

😊

My number 1 disappoint for arc-v was Yuto being klled off so early. I fuking wanted to see more of him, but no he died bc "dueling is for fun" and shit.

Kaito is also my favorite Yugioh Character of all time and also what kind of ideas for Yuto and the other Yu-boys did you have in mind? I always wanted things to be like this instead: Yuya: The Protagonist Yuto: The Deuteragonist/Main Rival Yugo: The Tritagonist Yuri: The Antagonist

​@@BlizzardLuinor In case, you still wanted to know my ideas for the Yu-boys in ARC-V, here they are: The first thing is I would've changed how the Yu-boys interacted/merged. How Yuya and Yuto were managed up to episode 37 was fine. After Yugo defeats Yuto, instead of physically merging, Yuya and Yuto should've just mentally/telepathically merged. I'd still have Yuto lose his duel disk but Yuto would still have his deck and be holding his Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Yuya and Yuto would have their moment but although we see Yuto give Dark Rebellion to Yuya, I’d still have them faint beside each other with their dragons touching. Yuzu would still show up and her bracelet would still teleport Yugo away but no one else. Now, Yuya and Yuto have telepathically merged so Yuto can't be teleported away now. The next episode would play out similarly with Yuya and Yuto asleep in Yuya's room. Maybe even have Yuto in Yuya's pyjamas and Yuzu would be attempting to explain who Yuto is to Yuya's mother. The same shenanigans with Aura would happen except Yuto remains asleep and after waking up and his mother leaves the room, Yuya explains the events of last night to Yuzu including the appearance of Yugo. While discussing, Yuto would wake up and the 3 of them would grow closer together. Yuya and Yuto's decks would be on Yuya's decks but Reiji still has Yuto's duel disk so Yuto is currently unable to communicate with Shun. Between Yuya, Yuzu and Yuto, I reckon the 3 of them could come to the theoretical idea that each dimension has doppelganger of each other (like in the CW Arrowverse) in order to explain why Yuya, Yuto and Yugo look alike. From this, they’d assume the same for Ruri and Yuzu and deduce that Yugo was referring to Rin in the duel from the previous night. I’d also reckon, they figure out/assume that their Fusion doppelganger is the one responsible for Ruri’s capture not Yugo which would give Yuzu more incentive to actually duel Yuri when he shows up during the battle royale. Yuya and Yuzu would head off for the Miami tournament but Yuto chooses to stay behind because he feels exhausted. During Yuya’s duel, I’d still have Yuya go berserk except the difference being he never actually took Dark Rebellion. Yuto would also go berserk except no-one would know as he’s home alone and Yuto would shrug it off as a dream. Yuya would still summon Dark Rebellion as it has now materialised in Yuya’s deck due to him going berserk and since Yuto is now a part of him, they both can use each other’s cards when/if they go berserk or when they’re in a pinch. However, after that moment, both would check their decks and Yuto seeing Dark Rebellion in his deck would be more convinced he was dreaming and Yuya would be confused as to how he did what he did. This would also leave Shun angry and suspicious of Yuya during the battle royale expect Yuya would confirm that Yuto is ok, unharmed, and even mention the duel against Yugo.

During the battle royale, as Yuya witnesses the Obelisk Force carding duellists, Yuya and Yuto would both simultaneously awaken and because Yuya can feel Yuto’s hatred for the Fusion dimension, he’d be more berserk, so much so that when Yuto awakens, he can see through Yuya’s eyes and moves and talks as if he’s duelling much like Yuya did when Yugo duelled during the Friendship Cup in the Synchro Dimension. This time after calming back down, Yuto would now be concerned for Yuya and get changed and head for the battle royale to check on hiem but would only reach Yuya moments before Yuya duelled Reiji. Whilst on the way, Yuto would see Yuya duelling Sora and telepathically reassure Yuya he’s doing the right thing. Shun would be glad to see Yuya and his trust in Yuya would grow. Looking back at Yuri, when he finally appears to Yuzu, I’d make sure to have him actually beat Yuzu rather than chase her because it really was pathetic. I can see the writers didn’t want to spoil Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, but Yuri could just duel Yuzu with his regular Predaplants to further prove his skills early on in the series. Back to Yuto, after Reiji defeats Yuya, Shun who vouches for Yuto’s skills, Yuto is also formally brought into the Lancers and Reiji returns Yuto’s duel disk meaning he can duel again. When the Lancers go to the Synchro Dimension, Yuto would be their with Shun and Dennis and Yuto would also be similarly suspicious of Dennis in their first Turbo Duel. Of course, Yuto would still end up in the facility like everyone else but when seeing Yuya dueltain, his respect for Yuya and even his outlook could slightly change to show some growth that started with Yuzu. The story would stay the same till the Friendship Cup. Yuto would also duel in the Cup but I’d have him duel Serena in the Round of 16 and would have her defeat, Yuto. One reason is because, I’d think Yuto would take the loss well and actually have fun but it would also be another good showcase of his skills and also so that we’d still get Yugo vs Serena later. Also, we could get more backstory for Yuto even with flashbacks to his assumed relationship with Ruri given he is duelling her Fusion counterpart.

When it comes to Yuya vs Crow, I’d have only Yuya and Yuto going berserk because it was overkill for all 4 counterpart to be going berserk simultaneously and also because we could’ve had more build up to the eventual Yugo vs Yuri duel. While Yuya is duelling Crow, you could have Yugo simultaneously duelling Yuri but they don’t use their dragons that they use their usual Speedroids and Predaplants, respectively. It always bothered me that the only Fusion monsters we saw Yuri use were Starving Venom and Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon which were so overpowered. Only until Yuya is duelling Sergey should Yugo and Yuri summon their dragons and that’s when they all start to awaken. I’d also have Yuto present for the duel and even make it a 2 v 2 (Yuya and Yuto vs Barret and Sergey). Of course, that’d mean both Yuya and Yuto would lose as Yuzu and Serena would be kidnapped. Yuya would still duel Jack and Yuto would be present when Yuya and Yuzu momentarily reunited. I’d also have Yuto join Yuya, Shun, Gongenzaka and Sawatari when they got sucked into the wormhole and sent to the Xyz dimension. The events involving Kite would remain the same but I’d have only Yuya start to duel against Edo but as Yuya is either getting pushed back or about to be defeated, that’s when Yuto’s hatred reaches his limit and he joins the duel and summons Dark Requiem - but the duel still ends in an overall draw. I’d only have Yuto and Shun duel the Tyler sisters later on and Yuya can still duel Edo in the rematch but I’d dial down on Yuya’s dueltaining but still have him defeat Edo. I don’t have much else to change from Yuto’s POV from this point till the duel against the Professor as I’d have to be a bit more creative given the mess with Battle Beast. However, when it comes to the duel with Ruri and Serena, this is when it gets more interesting. I’d have Yuto start the duel against Ruri with some more flashback etc and when Serena enters the duel, Yuya joins in immediately after and Yuya and Yuto both go berserk for Odd Eyes Raging Dragon. Yuya and Yuto would chase after either girl and get momentarily separated in separate cages but through a screen they both can still communicate with each other and see the main room with the Professor. After bursting out of their cages, they reunite and we have a 3 way duel against the Professor. Yuya and Yuto would once again go berserk but Yusho would pin both boys to the wall. I’d still have Yuri defeat Yugo but without the interruption Kaito and Edo but unlike with Yuya and Yuto, Yuri still physically merges with Yugo, Yuri would duel Yusho like normal but Yuya would forcibly absorb Yuto in his rage and would start to duel Yuri. Whilst duelling, I’d have Yuri and Yuya absorb Yuto/Yugo from each other when taking control of each other’s dragons. Not only could it look cool, but when Yuya goes fully Z-ARC after winning, it makes more sense since he was already 75% Z-ARC rather than just 50% Z-ARC. When it comes to Yuto here, my thoughts apply to more or less all 4 of the Yu-boys. Before Z-ARC summons Supreme King Z-ARC, his appearance should appear a bit blurry but once he does, he should expel the Yu-boys from his body as he no longer needs them and he has his demonic form from the Original Dimension. All 4 of the Yu-boys will have a brief moment with each other - Yuya apologise to Yuto for forcibly absorbing him and Yugo also apologising for jumping to the conclusion that Yuto was responsible for Rin’s capture. We could even have some form of redemption for Yuri where Yuri was never really in control of his actions and Z-ARC was using him to reach the rest of the counterparts in order to recombine. Regardless, all 4 agree they have the responsibility of stopping what they indirectly created so they make a run for the ARC-V reactor to retrieve Ray’s 4 Nature cards. While doing so, as Z-ARC summons the corrupted forms of each of their Dimension Dragons, the respective Yu-boy could feel the pain of their respective dragon which ends up slowing them down. Yuri could be the one to help the others as Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom wasn’t summoned until towards the end of the massive duel and it could further prove his redemption. Each Yu-boys collects the Nature card that correlates to their respective Bracelet Girl, join the duel and defeat/kill Z-ARC. (No Z-ARC turning Reira into a baby that needs to smile - that plot doesn’t exist here.)
