When you battle you negate the opponents effects if those effects affect the monster's attack points.

@AhmedMohammed-lq5pt Жыл бұрын

I think the reason they are playing cards that include "if the battled monster isn't destroyed in the battle" is because they are generally playing against Number holders. Maybe more in the case of Kite than Yuma since the latter already has an ace Number card, but it still works for both. They want to make the "Number protection" a disadvantage to the opponent.

I don't know if it's explained how he knows this, but I think that's the reason Kite was comfortable making plays Yuma could stop. He knows Yuma's rash, so in the first duel, he plays a more defensive game that invites Yuma to make mistakes (ironically, it's Astral that asks for offence in that duel, but it's out of character enough that it might as well have been him accounting for Yuma). He also knows astral is cautious, so he makes a brazen bluff in duel two that Astral isn't comfortable calling.

@@star14604 Yeah, ever since 5D's, quite a lot of anime cards that have come out in the OCG/TCG that could potentially be seen as "too strong" are usually nerfed into effects based on how they were literally used in the anime. A big 5D's example is Treasure Cards of Harmony / Cards of Consonance. In the 5D's anime, it was just a simple Destiny Draw for Tuners (discard a Tuner to draw 2 cards), but the OCG/TCG version specifically requires you to discard a Dragon-Type Tuner with 1000 ATK or less to draw 2 cards because Debris Dragon was the Tuner that Yusei discarded in the episode that he used it in. In this case, Photon Veil follows that same logic.

@@Abdullah_the_Palestinian however, after banishing his dragon, it would had lost all the buff in attack points (after being banned and returning, a creature would come in place in his "vanilla" form and without any sort of counter). But again, Kite could have attack Leviathan Dragon instead of Utopia, so after the ban and return, the +500 att for any xyz material would have triggered once, since Leviathan still had one material. And even if he didn't do that, Photon Dragon still was stronger than both Yuma numbers. Kite had the upper hand no matter what in those 2 last turns. In the end, the only way for Yuma and Astral to at least survive longer was to never attack, using Utopia to stop Photon dragon in attacking, and hoping to draw something that could destroy Photon Dragon, or at least stop his ability for at least 1 turn. But at this point thier deck have shown little to no traps and spells cards able to do that. And they were not able yet to fuse themself (something that seems a requirements for them to "spawn" a zexal weapon in the deck). They had a creature able to destroy Galaxy eyes without attacking, N.61 Volcasaurus, but it requires 2 "level 5" monsters to be summoned, and for what we have seen, most of the basic creatures in Yuma deck were level 4 or lower. In the end, they have very few resources to face Galaxy eyes. The last solution, and maybe the only one they could have used to at least hurt Kite's LP? Summon Baby Tyragon and attack directly!!

Vrains also has a lot of the latter cards. But in Zexal's case, either they already have the specific card that deals with a problem, or they literally manifest it out of nothing. I'd argue GX is like that as well. I don't know enough about Arc-V to say, but the original is actually surprisingly good about avoiding this issue. They pull specific cards for sure, but it's usually outright explained why they have the card in their deck and how they prepared to face their opponent.

I think the reason they did that is because the competition around Kite was stronger and more confident. Yuma, Astral and Shark had reason to worry about Kite given his reputation and they were put into situations that gave them reason to second guess themselves. But as stronger and more arrogant enemies like the Arclights and the Barians appeared, the mind games were less prevalent. It also doesn't help that some of these guys found ways around Galaxy Eyes.

@jackitrick4605 Жыл бұрын

The main thing I feel I should point out about them not using a Zexal morph, is I believe they mention that they can only do it in certain locations, they can’t do it wherever they want. As an example, when dueling Tron (Vetrix for the dubbies), Astral states that they can Zexal Morph in that duel due to the sphere field having a similar energy to the inside of the Emperor’s Key, implying that a certain energy needs to be in place for them to do so. So really, even if they wanted to Zexal Morph against Kite, I don’t think they could have managed. As for who I think would win if they rematches at the end of the series, I think it could go either way. However, given all the crap Yuma went through and all the duels he ended up winning by the end, I think Yuma could win.

Well Kite uses the effect shenanigans of Galaxy Zero AFTER Galaxy Eyes was targeted for the attack, but the anime made it out like GEPD was never targeted in the first place, so if the attack declaration has already passed, you can't just undeclare an attack (again, as far as my battle phase knowledge is concerned), so Yuma's attack on the 0 atk GEPD shoulld'be still happened, even with Zerozerock on the field, since that only prevents being targeted for an attack, and not being attacked at all. (Zerozerock:Your opponent cannot target face-up Attack Position monsters with 0 ATK for attacks.) So unless someone wants to correct me on something I'm wrong about, please, be my guest.

In hindsight in the first duel yuma could have not attacked galaxy eyes because of its effect and kept Utopia's materials but I guess he didn't know that beforehand so not really a misplay.

24:08 Fun fact: N-no. Anybody who’s played Ghostrick before will tell you that, if all monsters your opponent controls are unable to be attacked (for Ghostrick, multiple support cards make face-down cards unable to be attacked), then you can attack directly. This is why the Ghostrick archetype sees little use as a whole, since these effects hinder their best outside support, the Subterror monsters.

I think Zexal has a lot of "If a monster battles but it's not destroyed" kind of effects because of the Number rule, so all oponents will have monsters that will lose in attack dmg but wont be destroyed, makes it a bit not so situational, also, the "lowered attack" i see a ton of lower attack in everyone's decks, its like hard removal was banned in Zexal so they just have attack manipulation. (I mean it, theres so little removal in all Zexal I cant even remember 1 monster removal, and not even good backrow removal, hardest control I saw in the entire series was bouncing to hand, which is ok i guess but not that good)

Looking back at the first duel, Kite’s moves after Yuma summons Utopia are dependent on Yuma attacking. However if Yuma didn’t attack, Kite wouldn’t be able to do damage next turn as Yuma would use Utopia’s effect. Kite would chain Galaxy Eyes’ effect but it would only have 3500 ATK. Next turn, Yuma would successfully get his Cross Attack play off as Kite wouldn’t have drawn Lumenize as he couldn’t play Photon Wind. Kite would have 1500 LP left. On Kite’s nex turn, he would most likely set Lumenize and end his turn and then the duel is in speculation as we don’t know what Yuma would’ve drawn next. Given his field he might leave his monster’s in attack so he can use his Mirror Mail. But we know Kite will draw Photon Cerberus but the most damage Kite can do this turn is 1000 attacking Utopia with Galaxy Eyes meaning Yuma would still have 3000 LP.

I think their third duel was the best duel. Well despite losing Yuma won. After all Yuma goal in the duel was to make sure Kite would not give up dueling and thats what happend. And also Yuma was able to hold his own and almost beating Kite without Astrals advice or Zexal. This was legit the first duel in the series in which Astral while being beside Yuma did not help him but rather was only moral support as it was how Astral stated it was Yumas duel and with no stakes aside from if Kite would continue dueling or not there was no harm. After all Kite lost only 1 time in the whole series and that lost was only due to Ventrix using Hart against Kite, otherwise i think Kite would had also won that duel. So it shows how much better Yuma got in a short amount of time and well who knows if they dueled Offscreen for fun.

Notes from an Ancient Gear Pilot; Tbh, a lot of the XYZ player's in the anime played there deck's badly or didn't have enough general support card's in their Deck. Storyline-wise Yuma being as bad as he was in the beginning (due to his Older Sibling preventing him from learning from a professional) could be easy to forgive. THE OTHER'S (save for Shark being an ex-pro and Kite having spent the majority of his young life training non-stop for this), and I'm looking at YOU Kathy Katherine, have none. I'm honestly surprised Yuma lasted as long as he did against Kite in these duels.... Until next time, don't forget to burn the Link Heretics! Trevelyan of the Ancient Gears

Fun Fact: I saw this video in my recommended about a week or two ago so I saved it in watch later because at the time I only just started the duel carnival saga and did not want to spoil too much of the duel (Title does kinda spoil the result but there's something to be said for knowing where the duel is going and being pumped the entire time knowing the end result but not knowing how it will get there but that's neither here nor there) As for my thoughts on the duel I don't really understand at this point in the show the Zexal transformation I mean it is mentioned several times that shining draw in the hands of a powerful duelist can shape destiny I'll have to remember that as I continue down the series, that said I was reminded heavily of the Pharaoh vs Yugi duel at the end of the series that he too could do a similar thing, though I may be completely wrong about that assessment. As for knowing that Kite and Yuma wont duel again I am oddly okay with that kind of a spoiler up to this particular duel I was on the edge of my seat because in all previous duels Kite would have claimed Astral and his numbers but now with the stakes vanished and they could not worry about defeat and just duel with all their being, I mean hell I still remember Jaden's comment in the graduation duel when Zane revives Cyber End Dragon over and over and over again "I am getting really sick of dealing with this guy". XD As for future duels I think the writers purposely left that point open for the viewer to shape that how they want in their own mind, as a writer myself there's something to be said for revisiting plot points later if there's time. Note: I agree a lot of the card effects in Zexal are so ridiculously specific for situations I could not imagine building a deck around having X, Y, or Z (Ironic word choice on my part) though I imagine only just finishing the Kites Plight episode there's more insanity to come, and I am looking forward to this show giving me a brain anyerisum, (the Vetrix and Doctor Faker duel at a certain point there were so many effects to take into consideration each turn that I gave up keeping up with what was going on and just switched my brain into airplane mode).

A relevant thing to note as far as Yuma and Astral not using Zexal during the third duel is that they can only become Zexal in an atmosphere that mimics one from another dimension, or something along those lines, I don't remember the specifics. That's why Astral notes to Yuma that the Sphere Field from their duel against Tron is like that just before they become Zexal, and why they couldn't do it here. As far as whether they would or not, I'm not sure, but it wasn't an option.

@AxelWedstar411 Жыл бұрын

I have to wonder if another Yuma-Kite duel was planned at some point. ZeXal was subject to a lot of rewrites including one that saw a character mentioned in an episode synopsis ultimately going completely unused, so more inconsequential things like Yuma and Kite dueling again aren't much of a stretch. I think Kite did use all of the aces of his respective arctype that appeared in the OCG - which isn't true of characters like Varis - but duels in which no new cards appear while rare aren't unheard of so it's hard to call.

Great video as always. Do you have any plans to do one of these for the Scripted Duels? We’ve got 34 (33 events but 2017 was a double feature, technically more since one of the duels was Grand Prix rules) lined up as of last month, would be fun to mess with on the side. Plus, the implications of shenanigans like Pegasus and Marik meeting while they were still villains (but not doing villain things at the time), Jaden previously owning cards like Honest Neos, Neos Fusion, and Neo-Space Connector as far back as Season 4 at minimum (and apparently dueling a Konami employee to get advance copies form Power of the Elements), or Jack (from 5D’s) and Aster (from GX) fragrantly throwing around cards from the manga and ARC-V like cheap cigars are bafflingly hilarious. A fun little aside.

This is an interesting question you put upon us Sam. After watching this video, there are two different results that i came up with, if there was going to be a final duel I feel that it would end in a draw. Since those two pretty much know each others’ decks during those 3 duels, they are going to do the same moves with the same outcomes, albeit with some slight variations to those outcomes On the other hand, i feel Yuma would win the final duel between the two. Because he would have all of the Number cards and use the ones that would stop Kite in his tracks

@michaelle4031 Жыл бұрын

I thought you would talk about more about the not summoning utopia thing in the second game. Think about it. Instead of using double defender he used both gogogo to summon utopia and kill reverse buster. What does kite do now? Photon hurricane is useless. Photon circle is useless. Photon Leo can't be summoned. Photon spear is useless since he won't have time to tribute summon leo and spear plus circle is bad. I guess with armor back he can do smth but nothing to clear utopia. Even the cards he draws next or bad. He can't summon galaxy eyes. His galaxy storm is useless since utopia overlay units would never be used. Photon shock does nothing. Astral could have won. And the thing is that summoning utopia is a completely reasonable play to make in that instance. It's just 1 backrow and a one of monster he isn't even sure he has in his hand that prevented him from doing that.

One thing to consider about Double Bind is that it would work against Number monsters, which the majority of significant opponents have had, since not being destroyed by non-Numbers is an effect. However, by this point in the show, Yuma can already get Utopia out reliably and so shouldn't need to negate the protection that way. Personally, I'd guess Yuma has the card as an answer to people who try to reduce the attack of his Number monsters to hit over them, and chose a card that has a situational side benefit, rather than picking the card primarily for the second effect.
