The True Rules of Action Duels: bit.ly/3vJu6xb

"You'll still lose next turn!" "There won't be a 'next turn'..." Man, whenever a character says something to that effect in any Yugioh anime, it's such a boss move. 😊

You know you're screwed when the holograms are afraid of your opponents

I love how during his turn with Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon, Yuya was just making up effects Serena: “Our Trap protects our monsters” Yuya: “Raging Dragon negates the effects of all other cards and destroys them” Serena: “You can only defeat one of us” Yuya: “Raging Dragon can attack twice” Serena: “….” Yuya: “Say something else. I dare you”

"How dare you act like mighty beasts when you are only just insects" Perhaps the coldest line in the entirety of Yu-Gi-Oh.

There's one thing I love about odd eyes raging dragons summon. It's not just about yuya being mad that Ruri and Serena are keeping him from Yuzu, or Yuto being mad that Ruri is being mind controlled. This is also 2 incarnations of Rei once again standing in Zarc's way Odd eyes raging dragon is the embodiment of Yuya, Yuto's and Zarc's rage.

Even before any breakdown of the duel occurs, just hearing the plot setup of how this duel is even possible really just makes me go "Yup, that's a Yu-Gi-Oh plot alright"

Actually, it was shown that you can read your opponent's cards in episode 108 in which Gloria activates the Continuous Spell Card, "Quiet Life" and on Yuya's turn, he looks at a reading of Quiet Life and read aloud its effect.

When yuya says "battle" before completely and utterly obliterating his opponents in this duel will always give me chills bro I swear. Such a good moment

Could we get "Could Yuto have defeated Yugo" or "Could The Dimension Duelists defeat Zarc"?

9:50 Unfortunately, it's a misplay on Yuya's part. In episode 108, during the battle against the Tyler sisters, Yuya pulls up the card 'Slow Life'/'Quiet Life', one of the Tyler sisters' floodgates, to examine its effects (Yuto commenting about it in ghost form behind him). He can 100% see the effects of the cards - the text is visible on the Disk's screens, and while the Tyler sisters explained ift beforehand, Yuya double-checked using his disk. Why everybody else fails to do that, including Yuya in this duel, is beyond me.

Doktor: *places a singular finger on Yuzu's face* The entire fandom: Oh yeah, it's Berserk time.

"There won't be a next turn" still gives me chills

It's a shame that the detrimental action traps just ceased to exist after that one episode they were featured

Yes! My favourite Arc V duel! Seriously, for all of Arc V’s fault at the of its run, there’s always a diamond to be found and this is one of them. The summoning of Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon is to me one of the most iconic moments of YGO ever. Terrific in every way from the music, animation, Kensho Ono’s performance (who fun fact also voices Yuri), the atmosphere, tone and the famous line, “No matter how many you gather, they’re mere bugs!” or in other translations, “You try to act like mighty animals, but insects are insects!”.

I loved the smirks on Ruri and Salena when they said you can only beat one of us then the other will finish you, then Yuya said I can attack twice

this duel is the perfect overkill. As much as i love atem's overkill on weevil, this truly felt more terrifying to the point even the monsters who are suppost to be truly evil shake and cower away before zarc just comes in and wins with 2 cards

I just realize something really weird, Zarc didn't do anything evil while possessing the Yu boys. Yes he was very brutal and when he finally manifested he attempted to destroy the school of child soldiers, but until then he's directly helpful for the heroes.

21:17 when holograms get terrified you know shit is about to go down

There is a theory out there that in the case of "Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon" and why Yuya never used him in the final duel against Declan Akabi/Akaba Reiji, but did use "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" instead. That theory was, as this duel analysis pretty much confirmed: Yuya actually couldn't use "Raging Dragon" after the whole thing with Zarc, or even fully when he was dueling Yuri, because "Raging Dragon" was born purely out of rage, and only appeared when Yuya was at his most rage-filled state - such as against Mind Controlled Serena and Ruri, and then again against Leo Akabi/Akaba Leo, whereas Yuya was still able to use "Rebellion Dragon" even when he wasn't in a Berserk state. It's a shame really, but kind of makes sense really.

Doctor: *runs his hand on Yuzus face* Yuya: *So you have chosen death*

I still remember that: "There won't be next turn ...... BATTLE!" Kensho Ono way to make that tranquil fury voice really make that scene better too. No wonder why he landed the role as Giorno Giovana for Part 5.

BTW, in Arc V during Shun and Yuya Vs the Amazoness Sisters, Yuya was able to tap an "Enemy" Icon on his duel disk to check the opponent's field and read their continuous spell's effect. So in Arc V at least, players can read opponent's field if they want, but not everyone will read it unless they have a cool head and time to do so.

9:36. Fun Fact, in Episode 108 Yuya (along with Shay) duels the Tyler Sisters Grace and Gloria. During the duel, one of the twins activates a Continuous Spell called Quiet Life and Yuya (in a rare moment of intelligence) uses his duel disk display to check what the card's effect(s) are. So Arc V Duel Disks can check what your opponent's face-up cards can do so Duelists in this series have no excuse for being surprised by their opponent's face-up card effects

This duel always felt like one of those duels that, while never directly foreshadowed, was always going to happen from the moment Yuya first lost to Yuzu. Like Crowler vs Jaden's (in GX's final season), Vector vs Nash or Soulburner vs Revolver.

I'm actually so excited for this one. This is definitely top 3 Duels in ARC V, and imo top 10 of all time. Just so much emotion, beautiful animation, and great writing in general.

I'm surprised this was the first Arc-V duel rather than Shun vs Sora, given how popular that one is. I'm not complaining, though! That's an obvious recommendation, but if I had to recommend another Arc-V duel it would be Dennis vs Shun. Both duels, though it was quite obvious Shun had the first one cinched. I would like to recommend Yuto vs Yugo too, but that has so many cards that were never shown it would probably be a pain to analyse.

This is one of the best duels in the entire show

The anime only Phantom Knight cards seen in this duel would be great in the real game. I’d love Possession, Round Blaze, Double Badge and Phantom Knight’s Rank Up Magic Burial printed.

After witnessing what the doctor did to Yuzu in front of Yuya, all I can say was: “You pressed the Yuzu button, doc. You shouldn’t have done that…..” Thanks for covering one of my favorite moments in Yugioh history!

The moment when Yuya summoned Raging Dragon was extremely similar to when Issei Hyodou turned into Juggernaut Drive.

The fusion parasite got a bit too comfortable 😂 3:58

Yuyas play with the in advance type of play actually makes sense when you consider they've fought duel academy for awhile now and are used to people jumping into duels against them So it's like just in case

Arc-V duels are so interesting and entertaining, but I guess they'd be hard to analyse cause of the action cards. Despite that, I hope we get more. Great video!

Serena: we still hav- Yuya: SoREwa DoKAnA

Fun fact about anime Fusion Parasite and connected monsters: The fusions actually took the Parasite as material, and Parasite didn't have to take a name to fuse. If it had, a silhouette of the monster it replaced would appear.

Hearing Yuya say "There is no next turn!" Just sends chills down my spine.

Yes!!! Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon 😆 the one card that really got me into the Odd-Eyes archetype and by extension Yu Gi Oh! in general. I play it in Master Duel and it's always very satisfying whenever the combo works, despite its effect being nerfed in the TCG.

I think my favorite thing about this duel is the subversion of our expectations. Whenever a character gets mind controlled, and the protag uses some cards that they're meant to recognize, it usually ends up awakening the person beneath then. However, in this duel, not only would Yuya have fallen to the mind control if not for zarc, but he loses his shit and obliterates them regardless of the fact that they're not in control of themselves. The moment being so ruthless really caps it off.

Another awesome video. I always look forwards to these recaps battle break downs.

For those wondering what if Yuya summoned Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon instead. It would have not gone well, as all the parasites are immune to destruction thanks to Parasite Generator (19:57) so Odd-Eyes Rebellion's effect wouldn't have been able to destroy them. However they might not have needed to summon Odd-Eyes Rebellion, well at first. Since it appears the two summoned their parasites in Atk Mode (look at 19:53 & the fact that they aren't dyed blue), so Yuya could have: 1) Attacked a Parasite with Odd-Eyes & deal 2500 Damage, & maybe defeat Serena if it was her monster. BUT for the plot of the duel lets say it was Ruri's parasite. 2) Then attack with Rebellion & deal 2500 Damage, this time to Serena so that its once again Yuya & Yuto facing off against Ruri, as (to remind) the point of the duel is to bring back out the real Ruri. 3) Finally, Yuya would switch to his 2nd Main Phase, activates Phantom Knight's Possession to summon Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon in Def mode. And thanks to Parasite Generator's trade-off cost (20:27) Parasite Queen wouldn't be strong enough to destroy Odd-Eyes Rebellion. Which also they could have done anyways, because even if only that one Parasite (at 19:53) in in Atk mode, they'd all still leave the field at the end of the turn anyway. AND even if Ruri did draw a Parasite card that somehow let Queen destroy Odd-Eyes Rebellion, it would go to Yuya's Pendulum Zone & its OP Pendulum effect would basically let Yuya use any pendulum card from his deck to the other Pendulum Zone once its his turn... which makes me think back TGS' point at 6:29. As at that point, the Doctor would probably (or defiantly should) send in Rin to take an extra turn & just finish Yuya off with a band new hand of parasite cards... *But* keeping in mind, if Yuya's "goal" of the duel is to have Ruri break free of mind control, I could also see the mind control Ruri about to watch a defenseless Yuya, be reminded of a child Yuto getting beaten up (or something anime-like that) & basically pull off a Ray version of what Yuya does at the end this duel. But with Yuya (or even more thematic Yuto) basically running as Ruri's support. BUT all this ramble aside, *why* *didn't* *Rin* *&* *Serena* just activate their Parasite Magic combo (19:38) when Yuya attacked Parasite Queen? He would have ran into +3600 Atk Monster & lost the duel. Maybe a replay would have occurred & Yuya could have just changed targets? IDK. Also yes, I believe, Yuya was planning on attacking with Odd-eyes since he could have gotten its effect to deal double damage, then attack with Rebellion directly.

I feel the action duals are fine because they’re really no different than “believing in the heart of the cards” and getting the exact card you needed in that moment

Still mad that Yuto was plot forced to merge with Yuya early. I’d loved to see them work together as partners in the lancers.

"There will be no next turn"... KO! DRAMATIC FINISH

What a crazy pick to debut an Arc-V rundown of this. Man, Arc-V, ran me through the wringer and back but will always be my favorite mess ever.

Even though Arc V had its ups and downs, I still love it because of duels like this. Easily some of the most hype moments in all of Yugioh.

"There will be no next turn." I don't know about you, but I get chills when I hear that line. Like, seriously, how vicious can you get?

I was just binging your "About to defeat" videos, didn't expect a new one in my recommendations.

I'd like to see a video about Yuto vs Yugo. Had Yuya not interrupted the duel it could have gone completely differently.

You said it best with Jaden “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man”

Oh my goodness I love this duel!! Thank you for doing this

Fun analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

Since you mentioned the whole intrusion thing and how broken it is, it made me realize that if everyone waited until the end phase of the previous person's turn, Zarc could have been locked out of draws, and would not have the chance to destroy monsters for that bs protection thing against Sylvio

Barring the usual Arc-V problems (mostly just Action Cards being deus ex machinas to let Yuya survive turns he would otherwise lose to), Yuya and Yuto vs Ruri and Serena is one of the best duels of the show. It is a pity that getting the duel required the Bracelet Girls to all become fashion accessories though.

20:53 Note to the doctor: wait until after your opponent is defeated before you taunt them. They might get angry enough to make a comeback

I remember watching this duel as an AMV with the songs Hurry Up and Save Me by Tiffany Giardina and Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace.

What about a review of all the Jack vs Yusei duels? Including that weird Assault Mode special.

I love this duel It was really good and I love dark rebellion and xyzs monsters

This duel was more intense than I remembered. Enlightening coverage!

This is my favorite duel of Arc-V. Just the sheer ferocity at the end and how even the nicest, goody 2 shoes character can have the darkest rage.

I love Arc 5 it’s my favourite series of Yu-Gi-Oh but my god the number of card asspulls is nuts

What about an analysis of the Jaden v Jessie v Fujiwara duel that would then lead into the Jaden vs Darkness Duel?

Love this duel! Would also love to see a breakdown of Revolver vs Soulburner. Truly my favorite duel to be honest.

19:15 is that battlin' boxer cheat commissioner? Damn what a blast from the past!

What about a review of the Galaxy-Eyes rivals of Kaito vs Mizael duels to see who was the better dragon master?

I love every time Yuya snaps, they are always amazing moments

9:48 except, during the duel of yuya and shun vs the tyler sisters, you can see yuya checking a card they used and was reading it on his duel disk

Easily one of the best duel Yu Gi Oh History. The ending sends shiver down my spine

For the intrusion rule, I would have added these: 1. When you intrude, declare one side to ally yourself with. Each opponent splits the penalty LP between them. 2. You cannot attack on the turn you intrude. 3. If you inflict effect damage during this turn, the damage is halved. Each time you deal a total of 800 damage to a single opposing player (even across multiple effects), the target draws 1 card.

I always love duels like this where the nicest and fun loving guy just snaps and let everyone know why they shouldn't piss them off

Another great video A Duel analysis of any of the WRGP duels would be tough analyze but cool to see mainly "was Team Unicorn gonna beat Team 5ds" or "Was Team Ragnorok gonna beat Team 5ds"

I really love your review of duels. The best type of videos you make

Once again I am asking: Would Zarc have won against everyone or would someone have won against him before it happened?

Odd Eyes Raging Dragon was the most destructive attack in the history of duel monsters

Can you make these in the future? Was Dennis about to defeat Shun (Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V) Was Dennis about to defeat Kaito (Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V) Was Yugo about to defeat Rin (Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V) Was Bastion about to defeat Tania (Yu-Gi-Oh GX) Was Soulburner About to Defeat Bohman (Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains)

That’s cool to see some arc v duels, though I wanna see a shay vs Dennis duel. That’s one of my favorite arc v duels

Now you have done atlease one duel from all the main series, time for sevens

What I want to know is why does the penalty thing still exist on duel disk from alternate dimensions like standard ok they did it to make the sport more fair but fusion is going to war with everyone why would you implement a penalty into your own strategy

I'd love to see you analyze the final duel in Vrains between Playmaker vs Ai

Would love to see a video on 5D's Machine Emperor cards and duels since those didn't really translate into the tcg as the "5 in 1" monsters they appear to be in the anime. Pretty much just a one-and-done Meklord Emperor boss for each one.

This is gonna be a treat :) Could we get Team 5D's vs Team Unicorn? If you want misplays galore, this is one to consider

Can we get “could Yugo have beaten Yuri” or “could Yuri/Yugo have beaten Yuya/Yuto”

correction, in arc-v they CAN check opponents cards, yuya demonstrated this in his tag duel with shay against the tyler twins, aka gloria and grace (the amazoness players), where he checked the "quiet life" coninuous spell on gloria's backrow, which prevents him from normal and special summoning on the same turn

Phantom Knights, Lunalights, Predaplants, and also Speedriods also all need and really deserve to see Structure Deck's for their own Deck's!

Some of the most memorable moments of the Yugioh series is always the overkill moment, or just the moment where the protagonist has had enough and just decides to win

“Those are pretty neat bugs you got there but tell me something can they feel fear?” -Vegeta probably

Watching these without having watched half of 5D's and every show after really makes me wanna go back and watch all the series.

luv deez vids fr sum i look forward 2 weekly

I have an idea how to make action duels a little less weird: Replace the action cards with "action zones". Sort of like how in Duelist Kingdom the fields seemed to have built-in terrain effects, action zones could have special effects as long as you're in them. These effects would be defined in advance and could allow counterplay, keeping both duelists moving as they try to get to an action zone that best counters the opponent's.

Also...i'm going to say this: I hate the intrusion penalty since it was used in that tournament in Standard, it shouldn't be happening anywhere else, yet it does, and i *hate* it

I would love to see some more Arc 5 duels a lot of them are awesome

This duels and all of the duels where Yuya was consumed gave me so much shivers

Was Allister about to defeat Kaiba? Was Zigfried about to defeat Kaiba? Was Bakura about to defeat Kaiba?

Ah, one of my personal favorite Duels from Arc V. Glad it was the first. But like many Arc V Duels, it's tough to know who could have actually won because of the fact that we don't know what Action Cards are available so anything could have happened. If you do Arc V again, which I hope you do, I suggest either a none-Action Duel or an Action Duel where no one even used Action Cards like Yuya and Shay(Shun) vs the Tyler Sisters(Gloria and Grace) or Yuya's second Duel against Declan(Reiji), those are also Arc V Duels I love and once that despite being Action Duels none of the players actually used Action Cards.

Kinda wished they'd print some of the parasite monsters/support cards as well as some custom ones. I know it's another fusion archetype, but it's just a fun thought. Maybe an Odd-Eyes Parasite Dragon fusion monster

23:15. True, but notice they're unconscious -- as opposed to dead, since the castle wall behind them was obliterated... after they bled off their own shares of force. Outer walls of castles are typically a minimum of 2.5m and as much as 6m thick (did a quick Google search). The force required to do this would kill squishy humans... unless Yuya pulled some MGLN 'spells are stun-only period unless you toggle that option off' bullshit

I would love to see you cover the zarc duel!

love this series. please do dimitri vs jaden!! would love to see your break down!!

when you hear the word " there will never be a next turn" in yugioh anime,,, you know that an overkill is coming up

"I have the heart of the cards!" "But can you parkour?" "Nani?!!!"
