Even near the end where both summoned fusions of their ace monsters, showing crowler actually learned more from jaden then jaden learned from crowler, as crowler always relied on his ancient gear golem in every duel he's in, in their last duel together, crowler evolved to show he's grown thanks to jaden, and acknowledges him as a fantastic duelist ready for graduation

True that they show how much they've evolved from each other we also see a quick pause from crowler stating why he was skipping out on teaching the classes

Screw KZfaq for taking down that Noajenk video.

@@christopherb501 What video are you talking about?.

​@@toumabyakuya there were a series of videos called (what makes a duel) but was taken down by KZfaq.

I agree 👍

Heck yeah!! Make it happen, please!!

Absolutely

So true

We should also see some other duels from other series like VRaines or Zexal

Yeah we need this👏🏾👏🏾

Actually it’s Jaden Vs Aster round 3 since the first time they dueled Aster was using a bunch of Random cards. Also I’ve personally analyzed that duel play by play and oh boy TGS is gonna have a field day with that duel.

@@voltingmaster5458 the first duel with the random cards nobody counts

​@@HoffanheimJaden doesn't even count that duel because Aster was playing with random cards.

Misplay Jaden! Though I think he was playing poorly on purpose to let Syrus get the win because the whole point of the duel was to boost Syrus' confidence and let him figure out how to win an important duel with power bond. I think Zane even points out he's glad Jaden taught his brother how to duel better knowing that Jaden wasn't playing 100% so Syrus would get the win.

i came down to the comments to say the same thing. surprised tgs didnt notice

​@@otakuking9910 he did notice he told me

@@MarioMastar Yeah, pretty ballsy to use a battle against (kinda?) renowned duelists as a confidence booster to Syrus.

@@raze2012_ That's Jaden.

They weren’t there to teach. They were hired to get two students expelled.

@@Ramona122003Could still be the case they didn't want to tarnish their reputation as legendary duelists. Especially considering they were hired by Pegasus for a similar reason but when Pegasus turned good, they're still technically working with him. Either that or this would've been a public event to show thier skill but knowing the stakes, they wouldn't risk tarnishing thier social reputation by expelling two students. They did have to keep Crowler's bribe a secret so it would've looked really bad for them either way.

If they cared about that, they wouldn’t taken the job to begin with.

@@MarioMastar No I'm pretty sure they were there to get them expelled, remember Crowler wanted Jaden gone in the beginning of the anime, so instead of getting average duelists to duel them, he went out of his way to get opponents that even gave the "king of games" a run for his money

@@Lucario1121 My point was that Para and Dox wouldn't have taken the job if they were afraid of their reputation being damaged for helping to expelled kids. If anything, their reputations as 'legendary duelists' were hurt more losing to two freshmen.

He has poly, power bond and limiter removal that are great, also ambulanceroid has a pretty solid effect for fusions.

​@@dudono1744That is why he said 95% of his deck.

​@@lennythesatan7747That's being generous.

That’s not true, he has good cards, Power bond… wait this Zane’s, shit

@@dudono1744 Actually does he have limiter removal?

They were considered mercs for hire during the Duelist Kingdom and were also very skilled at the game. So if nobody hired them for a duel or something then they have no business interfering with whatever Yugi and his friends been doing or Jaden and his pals. Ngl, it would've been neat if Marik hired them as Rare Hunters as well. A rare appearance in the Grand Tournament Arc as a show before the semi finals a rare tag duel with duelist who lost in the bracket maybe. See Rebecca and that Asian girl team up so they could stay in the game.

They mostly just perform at parties. Their dueling is meh, but their tandem juggling is what REALLY put them on the map.

@@MrMovieMaker116Yeah they seem more like public entertainers who happened to be hired for malicious purposes due to the nature of Pegasus's game, but like any anti-villain, they still needed to maintain a reputation in the public eye. If they truly were meant to be malicious they wouldn't have kept up their twin performance with the "One always tells a truth, the other lies" as it wasn't like Yugi and Joey defeating them lead to thier demise and a school wouldn't have approved of them showing up if they had that strong of a reputation as mercenaries.

They showed up at the end of the final episode getting ready to duel Mai Valentine and Vivian Wong. And since GX stated Yugi and Joey was their only loss I guess they won.

Weren't they the tag team world champions?

But he already knew and saw from the brothers that you can use the cards of your teammate. If he isn‘t blind. That was just a dumb turn from Jaden and sacrificed a card for nothing.

@Hoffanheim I mean, yeah, he should already know, but Syrus isn't exactly shown to be the best duelist (especially this early in the series). Combined with the fact that this is a very stressful situation for him, the idea that he would tunnel isn't too out there, but yes, Jadens play is definitely stupid. I'm just trying to figure out a possible reason why he would make that play and what message he was trying to convey with it.

​@Hentai-and-Chill This is my guess. I think Jaden was trying to tell Syrus that even though they can't destroy Dark Guardian, that shouldn't stop him from trying to attack anyways. It took the second attack for Syrus to fully understand the message about dealing damage.

@@Hoffanheim And took unnecessary damage, instead of taking the damage due to sacrificing Skyscraper, there's drillroid over there, and for the defence of he didn't know what Syrus would draw, he's shown to have faith in Syrus already

Yes it was literally telling him dude use my card why so scared smh

Not the first time. Black Luster Soldier and Blue Eyes x3. Then again at least they looked like they fit well together...

It did! Finally! 🎉🥳🎊🍾

For the curious, the OCG is a bit ahead of the TCG, the format which most viewers of this channel (US/UK/Canada) will be playing. We will receive PHNI on February 24th of the upcoming year.

So because of this i can‘t find Dark Element and Dark Guardian in Master Duel because the TCG is behind?

@@Hoffanheim Master Duel is behind the TCG, which is behind the OCG. Dark Element is coming to the TCG in February, so the earliest you'd be likely to see it in Master Duel is April.

@@elijahpadilla5083 a thank you because all the retrained Guardian cards are already in Master Duel so i thought Dark Guardian because it belongs to this archetype would come in the same time.

I think early Yugioh was still trying to figure out exactly how to balance game mechanics with presentation. After all Pot of Greed is used EXTENSIVELY to speed up the duels because the pacing was a lot slower, and the summon effects were likely either because in the anime for a time, you had to summon the monsters to poly them (fusion was still being figured out in early days and I think they were testing the rules with them) or they were doing it to showcase the monsters and add some flair to the duel (since the spectacle of combos and difficult plays wouldn't really come until 5Ds when thanks to the nature of Synchros, combing was a larger part of making big plays so your tuners wouldn't be destroyed before you could use them).

@@MarioMastar Another annoying example of things speeding up duels was in ZEXAL where ALOT of the duelists in that series had monsters that "counted" as two materials since getting the same star levels was a bit tricky back then

Needs the Three Elemental gods to be summoned though

Imagine Gate Guardian balancing himself on that little UFO rail.

@@kingusernamelxixthemagnifi3488 likely why they didn't use him, too big

@@Master_E444 It was probably for that power of friendship theme.

@@kingusernamelxixthemagnifi3488 true but imagine Gate Guardian with a massive UFO Segway

I wish they done more appearances but they were considered legendary duelist in the GX era. Which is unfortunate because their prime was the DM era. It would've been cool to see a rematch with them against Yugi & Joey or Yugi & Kaiba. I wouldn't doubt the Paradox Brother's wouldn't deny attempting to take Kaiba's Blue Eyes.

@@thedarkspirit5084 They were just characters who were meant to have only a few appearances. That’s it

Word, I remember them appearing in commercials for GX when it was starting to come to statesides and I was like "YO WAS THAT JUST THE PARADOX BROTHERS?!"

If I had to guess Para deck has mostly monsters and Doxs is mostly spell and traps since para been summing most of the card and dox only had like four

@@crimsonflareumbreon1290 I doubt that like Lumis and Umbra did. I am glad they released playable verison of their cards.

@@the1magageneral323well if you look at the feild dox really only summon sea horse, Defense wall and Kazejin most of the duel he was defenseless

The deal was Syrus and Hassleberry lost and is trapped in a virtual world.

One of the cool part was when Dark Panther was berating Jaden😂

@@Hoffanheim And Hassleberry became a dinosaur (well more than he already was).

The English dub was written by people who speak American english and it was Awesome! Just loved the delivery so much as opposed to most anime dubs that just translate the Japanese directly but change the grammer. That's why GX was GOATED. Especially Chumlee's grumbling every time he was called out or ignored.

Do you happen to know why it was reuploaded? I know this one is longer, I never got a chance to finish watching the original video. I got through the practice duel and was on the first turn of the main duel but couldn’t watch any further as I got busy.

@@teamboobooseth1 From what I was told, the previous video got corrupted, so it got deleted. But you're not the only one who had a similar situation. I too was watching the original video. And right around the point where Para and Dox summoned Dark Guardian and Jaden protected Syrus with the Hero Barrier trap card, the video just stopped and the screen said "This video is unavailable."

@@OmnicidalClown1992 thanks! I was really confused when I saw it uploaded again.

@@teamboobooseth1 "last one" cut off right after Tempus got summoned

I would also like to see a duel analysis of the Kaiba vs. Allister duel. Their second duel is one of my favorites in the series, and Allister is my favorite of the trio. It always drove me mad that he chose a deck with a lower power ceiling for the rematch, which was his downfall. He chose flavor over power.

If syrus actually had more confidence and more composed in the beginning, he'd have been on the same level of at least bastion early on or even jaden, as it shows that in the first duel syrus actually had game on turn 4, but he was nervous and lacked confidence that he could win

That extra maile is why TGS Anime remains on the map while those "other youtubers" are practically unheard of. You get out what you put in and this guy goes out of his way to not only let us relive our favorite duels, but also explains the cards and character's feelings as they would affect the duel in a way that gives them a whole new spin. Especially factoring the cards we knew where in their deck, what kind of misplays are actual misplays and not just cases of "hindsight being 20/20" (as if anime characters don't draw from pre-determined decks anyway XD he called Zane OUT), and genuine strategies that real players could apply to thier duels as the Anime's purpose is to teach people how to play the game and use complex strategies to get out of bad situations. Does mean most battles are rigged in favor of the protagonist, but still nice to know whether the opponent really should've won, just got really (un)lucky, or deliberately played poorly so the protag would have a chance.

Syrus defeated Jaden in season 1 in a practice duel at their room

You are forgetting about dark guardian, hes is going to be released

The new Gate Guardian deck would absolutely kick Jaden's and Syrus' shit in, unless the writers give them the usual plot armor.

​@@vahlen5281 depends on what cards you'd give Jaden amd Syrus from the various support their archetypes got over the years. Elemental Heroes alone are insanely varied and have some really strong fusions even by today's standards, let alone back then

​@@filipvadas7602And roids are bad, so Para and Dox would just focus Syrus

Both reasons are equally just as likely; wouldn't be surprised if both were true. We do know that Konami isn't averse to making cards that reference the anime, no matter how good the card ends up being.

Its a good fix the deck itself needs to avoid giving said monsters spell/trap destruction. Also maybe make the effect a lil conditional. "If your opponent special summons a monster this card can only be targeted and/or destroyed by trap cards and thier effects." My only fear is people just wont play that deck. The decks that use this new line of text would need to be busted.

Zexal entered the chat with Yuma's cards that seem like "If the planets and stars are aligned so exactly these blades of grass are hit with exactly this number of lumens, negate the attack and summon a monster." He needed that luck though cause his deck building leaves a LOT to be desired... (granted that was the point of Yuma's character as he admits he doesn't have any XYZ monsters and because he comes from a low income situation he probably doesn't get as many chances to get booster packs so he had to use a ton of N tier cards.)

In the anime characters value attack points over effects even during Vrains era in some instances

hell, in this episode jaden uses fusion gate using a material on board, in hand, and in deck. so I think the writers were just schizos

Also, UFOroid fighter just looks a bit silly. It is literally just Tempest on a hovering segway.

@@michaelolynyk4319 Never been a fan fusions that are just monsters on top of each other unless it's something like a knight riding a dragon or horse or the XYZ fusions. Anything else just looks ridiculous.

The same way Yugi did against The Big Five when Joey's Life Points were at stake

Jaden was playing less than optimally to help Syrus make the big play and build his confidence, and it's likely the Paradox brothers saw that as well since they were dueling in a public school. TGS said that they could've attacked Jaden's empty board for game on the turn Syrus summoned cycroid but they attacked Syrus instead giving them an extra turn. and they also played unusually defensively with quickly ending their turns and not using the new cards they drew at all. so it really seemed like they were trying to give Syrus the chance. They don't want the boy expelled on thier necks.

I imagine he means "normal" monster since Gate Guardian is treated as a non-effect monster in the anime despite having an effect [although the effect is "can't be summoned unless you have the trio", so it may as well not have any] And although Dark Guardian does have an actual effect, it only has 50 more attack and is still treated as "Gate Guardian". Gate Guardian also has a fusion version, Gate Guardian Combined, which has the same stats, but an actual effect: "When your opponent activates a card or effect that targets a card(s) you control (Quick Effect): You can negate that effect, and if you do, destroy that card. You can only use this effect of "Gate Guardians Combined" thrice per turn. If this face-up Special Summoned card in its owner's control leaves the field because of an opponent's card: You can Special Summon 1 level 11 or lower "Gate Guardian" monster from your Deck or Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

It's the strongest main deck warrior monster in terms of atk points. But yeah, Dark Guardian will surpass it when it will be released.

TAIYO, TAIYO, TAIYO!!!!

If I remember right the sub explains it better, Jaden was essentially hinting to Cyrus that he should attack to do damage even if the opp's monster can't be destroyed by battle. It's alot more vague in the dub.

THey did NOT whole back on thier diss tracks! The best part of GX was always the dialogue!

me too

If he didn't use skyscraper at that moment, then they would've been down to only 200 life points at that moment, then when they get attacked next turn, they would've lost before Syrus could make his play.

@@Guy8288 I meant he would activate Skyscraper main phase 2. So they would not take damage next turn, since he would sac Sho's face-down on that turn.

@@brokendoll3368 Ah. Yeah, that would have been a better move.
