Ohmygod I think I assumed Kaiser just dropped from a heart attack with his duel against Yubel before it ended I'm so sorry fuck

the ultimate d was the friends we made along the way

Can’t wait for the 5 hour Chazz documentary

"Not sure why a 3rd year student would be at the entrance exams" If I had to wager a guess, he was probably watching Sho's entrance exam.

It occurs to me that being electrocuted is probably a recurring thing in Yugioh not necessarily because it's the writer's kink, but because it's a way to visibly and even seriously hurt the characters physically without inflicting visible wounds or injuries, so they can show people suffering without having to worry about censoring for blood/ gore etc.

"Kaiser is Kaiba but if he won" *SAVAGE*

“Some characters (chazz) are done better than others (others)”

Kaiser is basically one of the most beloved characters in GX. A lot of people think he should have stayed dead though, which I can't blame them for thinking.

The only review where talking about BDSM and The D is both within context and not at all what you think.

Saio’s VA is DIO’s, and he also drops “the world” in the duel with judai. It was basically his jojo’s audition

Kaiser wasn't an asshole to his brother. Well, at least that wasn't his intention. He wanted Shou to understand what it means to respect his opponent, because Shou was the kind of player who talks shit about his opponent before pulling the win, and what's more, he did so in the name of his brother (by using his card). Shou never understood this, thinking the reasoning of his brother was a matter of dueling skills. In the early episodes, Shou even chooses not to wake up Judai so that he loses the chance to take his exam, only to have a better spot in the ranking for that test. Shou had the same mindset that Ryou would later develop as Hell Kaiser: seeing everything in terms of winning or losing. The only difference is that Shou was the one losing, and thus breaking all his self-steem.

Also during Kaisers duel against Camula (which confirmed vampires) he sacrificed himself and his key to save Sho. So even though he's presented as this very withdrawn and emotionless sort of character, in truth he does care for his younger brother so much so that he put his protection above himself and even the potential fate of the world

We all knows who is the best character in GX - and his name is 1...10....100....1000

Yugioh franchise in nutshell; Yugioh(1998): Psychopath pharaoh Yugioh(2000): Badass pharaoh Yugioh GX: Smaden Smuki Yugioh 5D’s: Riding Duel with disco musics Yugioh ZeXaL: Astral, the sado-mazo Yugioh Arc-V: *being confused with three another alterego* Yugioh Vrains: Main character with lot of pain Yugioh Sevens: Smaden Smuki in the future

I like them because they are the only recurring characters who actually beat Judai

Hell Kaiser is one of my favorite yugioh characters The word kaiser literally means *emperor* in German and that would mean that his name means hell's emperor which is super cool.

Personally, I think Zane should not have outright lost his deal with Jesse/Yubel. They should have done something similar to how Joey lost against Marik, where Zane is about to win BUT his heart gave out before he could attack, allowing Yubel to win not because she was better but because Zane physically could not continue. It just works better symbolically. Zane has finally remembered the joy he used to hold for dueling. He has cast aside the hate, the desire to win, and the savagery that overtook him. As such, the story should reward him by showing him to be superior to Yubel. Zane deserves to go out on top because he finally remembered what dueling is all about. That's the metaphysical way of saying that Zane is right and has regained his morality, but have him die anyway because of his heart giving out symbolizes how he still has a price to pay for his past sin. It works better for the plot too because Zane has always been this aspirational figure for Jaden. So when Jaden sees that Zane could have beaten Yubel, it should give him the motivation to face Yubel himself and pick up where Zane left off. Zane's heart given out just before he can declare victory just seem like the better move as it is both unexpected but carries symbolic weight.

Edo is one of the most goated Yugioh characters there is. He deserved his own light novel or spinoff manga. Same with Kaiser

'There's a reason Edo is one letter away from...' Me: PEDO? :o 'Ego' Me: Thank god.

8:43 Kaiser lost that duel because of Power Bond's life cost effect. Not because his heart gave up. So that duel did in-fact came to an end.

Zane (I like calling him by the English name) was such a badass and I enjoyed every minute of it. Aster was freaking bananas, I was shocked when he popped up and beat the shit out of Jaden then jumped out of a plane like a boss for no reason 😂 I know THE CHAZZ is next!

That schmaden schmuki line gets me every time

“Edo Phoenix is a cream faced business boy who thinks he’s a god amongst men” AND HE DON’T MISS

I'd imagine that this is how they decided on who is going to be the master and who the servant: Edo: I'm sick of sleeping in the woods, let's go take that guys mansion Kaiser: OK. Edo: One of us should probably play the servant to avoid suspicion. Kaiser: Fine, you do it. Edo: But... Kaiser: Do I need to get the shock corals out? Edo: .... What can this humble servant do for you my liege?

I'm so glad that people are finally doing video essays on the Yu-Gi-Oh animes. I feel like they're a form of media that often gets left out of analysis and it's great to finally have content geared around them

edo is so underrated finds his father murdered adopted by his dads murderer forced to kill his dad and a bunch of other shit

We will never have Bastion’s fire dragon as card

You know I always had the same impression, it's like Edo and Kaiser were super badass without intentionally being so and that made the show super appealing, the same with the exchange students from season 3

I'm a simple man, I see Japanese names I click. I SEE HELL KAISER I STOP DOING ANYTHING ELSE

I think Saio's Japanese VA being DIO's is way more funny when you remember that Saio's whole thing was tarot cards

The first thing that popped into my head when I watched the scene where Edo and Hell Kaiser were role playing was that Kaiser went up to Phoenix like "Hey, wanna steal that mansion and pretend we're a master and servant living alone together in the middle of nowhere. I'll be your master." and Phoenix was just like "fuck yes."

Aster/Edo Phoenix is my favorite. They should have done more with him, but after season 2, they shafted him. And Zane/Ryou, my second favorite, got it almost just as bad after 2.

I’m going to gush a little about Season 2 Edo/Aster Phoenix, since he is my favorite boi of GX :^) I love how Edo is literally unbeatable until after he defeats Judai, it establishes an air of “really though shit” and it happens to make Saio seem threatening as well, with it all apparently being predetermined. It’s only later we see this “perfection” start to break down, as Judai interferes with destiny more and more, Saio becomes much more interested in him and started to put his plan into motion, setting up the Society of Light, rising the suspicions of Edo. While he spends with the gang, he softens a little, even offering most of his medals to Kenzan just because he doesn’t need it. But when the hunt for the Ultimate D (hmm) starts again, he is desperate, and he becomes heartbroken when finding out that DD, his guardian, was the one who had Bloo-D all along, murdered his father and took custody of Edo because he wanted to know how the murder investigation was going. After beating DD and getting back Bloo-D, the strongest D-HERO his father designed, he goes to his childhood friend, Saio, to understand whatever the hell he is doing and why he closed off Edo. It’s in the fight against Saio we see the invincibility veil truly cast off, as he compares his best friend helping him in the hour that he needed the most with the monster currently threatening to destroy the world with a satellite laser. He chooses to bet the satellite key, a desperate action just so that Saio accepts the Duel, something even Judai, the carefree one, tells Edo not to do. Throughout the duel, the true soul of Saio goes to Edo’s body, helping him stand up and fight after he did the same to inspire this “good” side of Saio. When he loses to Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler, the only thing he cares for at this moment is Saio’s “good” soul, even as he is being bleached white with The Light of Destruction. Yeah, it’s Yu-Gi-Oh!, yeah it’s not even the best story of this spinoff, everything is alright at the end and it is badly paced at times, but it is the reason I love Edo, even when his invincible air was slowly teared apart, he remained cool af, he truly fought only for his goal and for his best friend, and he *embodies* Impossible Victory, the best song of the series and one of the best in all of Yu-Gi-Oh!. All of this atop on the fact that he is really fun to watch interacting with anyone, really, since he duels in professional duels, a completely different world from Duel Academia. *also D HEROes are the best HEROes don’t @ me*

(Possibly how Kaiser got Edo to be the Servant) Kaiser: Damnit, they're here. Alright, you know the plan. Edo: Yeah. You pretend to be my servant and I'll be ready with a sneak attack- Kaiser: Yeah, no. YOU'RE the servant. Edo: Screw you! YOU'RE the servant! Kaiser: You want ME to play YOUR servant? Edo: Yeah! Kaiser: With what I'm wearing right now? Edo: I don't follow. Kaiser: ... Edo: ... OH. Kaiser: Yeah. NOW GET TO IT!! Well what I think anyway. XD

I was so excited to see you made another GX video because I absolutely loved your previous one (thanks KZfaq algorithm) and it was what made me subscribe! Really love your writing and editing, you've convinced me to watch GX I just need to figure out if I want to watch the dub or sub first

Edo is just my favourite character in this franchise. His story is great from someone who thinks he better than everyone which he then proves by beating the main character and the big rival (who Jaden never defeats) back to back. To by season 3 sacrificing himself for his friends something that he dismisses Jaden for having in season 2. Hes the perfect antihero and he achieves his goal of finding his fathers killer without the main character.

It is unfortunate that Kaiser did not duel Ed again after getting the Cyber Dark cards. Or even Judai after he had the Neo Spacians.

Kaiba was my favourite character in the original series. He was fucking hilarious and beautifully overtop. The blue eyes white dragon jet is sheer perfection.

I literally just watched your gx video and now I see this! these two were indeed best boys

Came to this video after the gx one. I never knew other people liked it totally worth the time. You’ve earned a sub

Hell Kaiser Ryo "don't kinkshame me" Marufuji

We need a JadenxJessie romantic analysis video now :P

I looooooove your editing, you're so brilliant

Okay real talk I love your voice so much, and keep up the good work! Loving these essay styled videos

Zane Truesdale and Aster Phoenix are two of my favorite characters in the Yu-Gi-Oh GX series. I'm just waiting for you to do a video on their father figure a.k.a. Seto Kaiba. By the way, I loved the video.

3:53 So what? The Chazz ain't sexy? I think you'll find he is very semxy, because he is.... *The Chazz* Yes, I am the kind of person who uses the original names aside from The Chazz. Chazz it up, Chazz it up!

Please, I need so much more of this content. You're scratching a nostalgic itch in my brain that I never knew existed XD

I have never in my life been more excited to see someone post a video

Considering Cyber Dragons and D-Heroes are still getting consistent support, I'd say those two are pretty popular characters

All these GX videos give me life. And a whole video from Edo and Ryo *chef’s kiss* Wall of text coming I think Ryo and Edo were such interesting characters, they probably got more development than most of the original cast. I adored Edo because he starts out as an antagonist, easily beating Judai and Ryo (who both went through existential crisis because of it) and he wasn’t even fazed. He was a rich boy, too busy in his pro duel agenda to even go to Duel Academy. But then as S2 progressed and his friendship with Judai developed, we get to know his tragic background regarding his dad and DD, and you can’t help but love him. The Dark Dimension arc just made him even more likeable, after him and Ryo find out Judai is the Supreme King, they get their hands dirty and start recruiting people and he is the only genius who questions if Brron wasn’t lying and Johan wasn’t really dead since no one saw him actually die (THANKS EDO). And we went from this arrogant lil shit who though he was too good for them all, to him lecturing Ryo on how he could not care about what happened to Judai and his friends in this dimension (since Ryo was just after the ultimate opponent) and sacrificing himself for Echo and his friends. With Ryo I just loved how they trolled us all into thinking he became evil when he didn’t. He just used ‘evil’ cards to win because he realized that’s what he wanted. But even in his victory obsessed mind, he cared about his friends. He kept Darkness at bay in the duel vs Fubuki, he dueled Johan in the first arc of S3 to bring everyone back. He saved Sho from that insect monster, recruited duelists from the concentration camps to stand against the Supreme King. He showed Judai he couldn’t possibly face Yubel without coming to terms with what he had done as the Supreme King and overcome his fear of Polymerization. And even when he had just said he didn’t care about what happened to anyone and just wanted to duel, he still tried to separate Yubel from Johan so he wouldn’t die (Yubel then said it wasn’t possible but we didn’t know that). In the end I think I am fond of these two not only because of their starting personalities being all high and mighty and badass and bitchy (looking at Edo), but because they also got developed in s3 and even sacrificed themselves to help others.

Honestly your GX analysis videos are really helping me in my re-write of the series. I'm only in Season 1 of the rewrite and I have made a few story altering changes while keeping some things the same. It's a little hard to keep track and make sure I actually honour these characters, but also making them believable for the roles I put them in.

I honestly loved this video covering both Kaiser and Edo (who is my favorite character next to Judai). You explained everything well here and I can't wait for you to cover my all-time favorite YGO series in 5Ds.

This is definitely the best video I've seen because I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR THE LONGEST TIME Edo is my all time most favourite Yugioh, GX and just character of all time (if you couldn't guess). I literally wrote an entire character essay on his character explaining his character development and how much he means to me. He is a little bitch, but he has a heart and in Season 3 he becomes Hell Kaisers emotional support boyfriend (don't @ me, they're dating, the servant/master rp proves it). This is such a great and entertaining video about my top 2 favourite GX characters. All Hail, Shmaden Shmuki.

I have to know how many takes it took to get through “Ultimate D” without laughing. XD

Im so glad I got this channel recommended. Finally Im around my people of GX lovers. I enjoyed it as kid on the dub and rewatched the sub a few years ago it blew me away how good it is

Just stumbled across this channel and you are hilarious! Keep it up :)

Zane is the first character in the anime who used graveyard effects and acutally wanted cards in the gy to use with overload fusion and his power bond cybernetic fusion support combo I love the gy who is with me I love anime power wall and its animation in the anime

I know D stands for Destiny but it's hilarious shit when you have cards that are named: _D - Time_ _D - Tactics_ _D - Fusion_ And not to forget the original D. *The Lord of D.*

I'm extremely glad I found your channel The KZfaq recommendations aren't always stupid

I'm really enjoying these GX vids, keep em comin! There's one character we're all waiting for and we dont care how many videos it takes, 1, 10, 100, 10,000.. (Also pumped for your take on 5Ds)

Chazz is best duelist because he beat aster who beat Zane who beat jaden so chazz best duelist.

Yes, Kaiser is my favorite Yugioh character in general and is the reason where I always play using a cyber dragon deck

Wow, I love your humorous take on the series! I don't know how many times I laughed out loud and had to replay the jokes. 😂 We need more of this content, please! Good Yu-Gi-Oh GX is so rare!

Wow it must have been exhausting to find all the extracts,good job!

11:35 gx has some great animation

There are two types of people in this world: When it comes to rivals Beta : Chazz Princeston ALPHA :Kaiser and Edo

ok i discovered this channel today and i'm loving it.

It's nice to find a channel that acknowledges the greatness of gx and it's characters

Next up, Chazz: How Hype Can Exceed and Enhance Character

Zane and Aster are some of the coolest characters in the SERIES!!

The commentary and editing are amazing

I think i am in love with your channel :D.

Screw Aster and zane. Wheres my boy Chazz?! CHAZZ IT UP CHAZZ IT UP!

U forgot an epic line from the dub: the zaniacs

It is really fun watching your videos

Three years late to this, but I absolutely LOVED and still love Kaiser to this day. Man basically went through my entire life arc. Born a “gifted kid” in school and placed into the “gifted and talented” program in primary school. Constantly being told I should aspire to be the best and find a cure for cancer or some other crazy shit. Never actually learning how to tackle basic problems like, “how do I apply myself when something academically doesn’t come naturally to me?” that other kids are learning their whole lives. Like my wife who isn’t the smartest on the block and literally has dyslexia but has worked her ass off to overcome her shortcomings because that’s how she has always lived her life. She saw adversity and tackled it whereas I was told I was special and smart so if I ever ran into something that didn’t come naturally to me, I didn’t know what to do. I just thought i was a failure or not as smart or talented as these teachers had been telling me my whole life. I completely shattered and fell into a deep depression my senior year of high school because I wasn’t finding college level work to be free anymore. Kinda parallels the fall of Ryo into Hell Kaiser where he doesn’t handle losing well. He’s never faced adversity in the dueling academy, so he doesn’t know how to adapt and overcome this. Then he goes full emo for a bit and makes a massive return to form when he realizes his entire life is tenuous at best, and he wants to go out on his own terms with a blaze of glory instead of just resigning himself to a slow death. He finds the passion in something again and finds his way of winning AND I DUNNO MAN I HAVE ALWAYS PLAYED CYBER DRAGONS SINCE THEY CAME OUT. Every time a new card is released, I buy three copies of everything- good or bad. I love this man and his journey and his cards and he should have stayed dead :(

Omg I had a crush on Aster Phoenix and Zane. Cyber dragons were my favourite GX archetype. I'm glad to see that I wasn't alone :)

I LOVED ZANE'S CHARACTER ARC!!! Also I wish their whole relationship had more depth!

Can't wait to watch this after I finish the series!!

Thanks for this video I really needed the laugh

I think Kaiser didn't want Sho to play Power Bond to give him a lesson on how power has a cost.

I watched the entire GX series like 12 years ago... I'm starting to think that i should rewatch it. Aster(edo) was one of my favorites in the show. Maybe I should watch it in Japanese this time...

I’d say that Edo is pretty popular, as he appeared in ARC V as well (or at least a version of him). And the Kaiser was mentioned as well. Nice video as well!

A GX video, you say? That's all I needed to hear.

Pretty sure Aster was born with the ultimate D. Someone had to make this joke. (Someone probably did, but still)

12:26 Funny you mention Devilman since Destiny Hero - Malicious’s design is inspired by it.

Great content!

2 videos and I love it

11:41 **immediately pauses video to laugh hysterically for roughly 30 seconds** 😂

The episode where he becomes the hell kaiser is probably the best episode in the series. Unless you watch the English dub. If you havent seen it it's hilarious

Hey thanks :) but .....WE NEED MORE!! Great Job! :)

MelonThot uploads at 4 in the morning EST? Fuck sleep I'm bouta just stay awake and listen to someone besides me praise Kaiser and Edo

Can't really say anything about Edo, but the extent of Kaiser's love is MASSIVE. He is the Kaiba of GX, everyone loves him and looking at the vrains period, and how much support the cyber dragon deck gets, Konami loves him as well. EVERYONE LOVES HIM (well maybe not everyone, but it's very hard to find someone who outright hates him) definitely my favourite character. YUUGO SHOUKAN, CYBER END DRAGON!!!!

Okay this is nice and all BUT WHERE'S THE VIDEO ON THE CHAZZ!??!!?!?

Ah yes, the *quality content* I'll subscribe for.

8:57 Don't gloss over this scene. He told Judai a valuable lesson of never dueling for power, and never being obsessed with power. Hell Kaiser's demise came from that. It's a powerful message that few understand.
