About the we don't get to see the final fight, there is a one shot that I don't think is in the tankoban(or volumes). Judai gave his deck back to the man who I forgot his name while he uses a masked hero deck and the fight is really good imo.

Wanna read the manga now

@@emmemttc oh, shot. I read this manga, but not the main manga, so the spoiler is hitting me hard now.

I really enjoyed the manga and how it tied with the Egyptian lore but it was too short and the characters didn't have time to any significant development

The manga is what I even cared for anyway but after 5D’s is when Yugioh manga lost its spark for me.

Dilfosaur also talks about it

Pretty much yeah. I owe at least half my appreciation for GX to her

And we are indebted to her for it

Elliot Bailes Yeah, from memory I think I watched that dilfosaur GX video around when it came out and then looked around for other GX videos and found MelonTeee’s “GX is Good Actually” video.

That comment may be true to you (since it's your opinion), I have to strongly disagree

You'll always look good in red, Jaden!

You don’t need a deep reason to like a color :V

i thought jaden wore the jacket to show how he’s proud to be a slifer slacker, not just because it’s the color red

I mean most people wear clothe they find neat so ...

I'm here wishing Alligator was a full archetype. His ace, Dark Alligator only became a real card this year.

I just watched the Chazz video and now I understand why, I didn’t expect this comment to get a heart

So... The manga is where the non-specific material fusion heros came from? Yes that is all i gathered from that

Heh heh, sweat lord

The manga cards made E Hero so much playable for me I remember buying the manga for the free cards like Absolute Zero, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon etc

I do admit I like Bastion and Alexis' decks in the manga more than in the anime because I found them to be less...stereotypical. Anime Alexis is the girl so she gets the warrior girl cards with a ballet theme. Manga Alexis's monsters are all still girls but the theme is an ice lock-down deck, which is pretty cool (pun intended). Anime Bastion is the brain so he gets cards based around math and science. Manga Bastion has a Japanese zombie deck and it how he plays those cards that makes him the brain.

Technically speaking, Stratos' effect was drastically different in the Manga (instead of being Emergency Call and Righteous Justice stacked into one, it can halve its ATK to direct attack). Ocean had a completely different effect, as well as Woodsman/Shadow Mist not even having effects. But yes, I completely agree that I prefer pretty much every Manga iteration of the character's decks, except for Sho and Ryou. Masked Heroes especially are crazy strong for what they were at the time; there were times reading manga where I couldn't stomach seeing Masked Hero Bassols, a 1000 ATK monster, turn into the 2800 ATK Masked Hero Dian seemingly out of nowhere. The Manga cards are incredibly strong and it made the duels super fascinating.

GX got hate? I always saw people loving GX and more hate towards Zexal which is my fav series. I rewatched it recently too and it might not be on the same level as 5DS but Zexal really got me emotional, yet many people thought Zexal is the worst Yugioh series, probably because of how shitty the dub is.

@@kamiru2993 GX sorta got the..."Not like the Original in design therefore bad" label. But looking through GX, it's got some good connections to DM. The Dub kinda...destroyed GX into this joke, Jaden got the "I'm So COOL! RADICAL DUUUUUUDE!", too many comic reliefs...honestly the 4kids dubs may as well been abridged series/ Zexal I will give mass credit for the XYZ Summoning being actually easy to understand and being shown well in the anime and even works well with story, Zexal Morph is literally an XYz Transformation. Yuma isn't basically a pro duelist like the previous three protagonists. I think people don't like Yuma being terrible which I see as a fresh change...but kinda shoulda been something in an earlier anime than the FOURTH one. Thing is...the show takes time to get to the good stuff and there's a little too much and it turns people off. Season 2 GX was guilty of this too, like Chazz/Majoume got brainwashed and then he hangs around for way too many episodes then FINALLY recruits people then Jaden and co just chill with it then FINALLY Alexis/Asuka gets saved only after Satorious gets the key to Jaden. It sorta went like "Here's Society of light...now chill with the crew in the schoolyard for 10 episodes...Oh no these guys got bored waiting" I think that both GX and Zexal got this weird over-hate status which I don't agree with. Yuma has to improve as a duelist and much like Yugi, has to beat their better at the end of the Anime (Atem and Astral) to prove they've grown. Jaden/Judai gets into situations where he MUST grow up. He turns from happy slightly way too happy to someone who grew up, took thing seriously but at the end, the duel with Yugi is to remind him that not everything is serious and duelling can be passionate fun/ The thing I feel, is that that stuff isn't shown quick enough or they love DM and 5Ds and don't really feel GX and Zexal feel like "their" Yugioh which is wrong cause each show imo expresses Yugioh in their own way.

@@thedawsonator1628 Honestly I like the fact that Yuma was a novice at the start of the series. The fact that the first and last duel in the series happened on the same place reminds us how much Yuma has grown and matured. And we did need some change in pace, like...I love Yusei but he was good from the start to the end, you didn't really see him growing that much. But yeah, 4kids shouldn't even have the rights to any yugioh series, they just butcher everything. Overall I loved every series of yugioh, even Arc V which had its ending butchered. GX was pretty amazing as well,and the fusion summon was always the most renowed summoning method since it appeared in every series. Judai does remind me of Yuma in a way, altho he was better at dueling than Yuma, at least during the start of the series, but it's the way they duel that make me see them alike, both of them love dueling with a passion. I wish those 2 series would get more attention tbh.

I always liked Zexal but to me it felt like it was just copying some of the best parts from the previous series. Examples: having a spirit partern to help in duels (Yugi and Atem), watching as all his friends die only to come back later (Gx), dark zexal, (Supream king Jaden), one last duel to remind you deuls are meant to be fun (Jaden vs Yugi), final duel against Astral before saying good bye and even winning (Yugi vs Atem), the importance of his father (Yusei's dad). Stuff like this just bugged me about Zexal but i still loved many parts about like Kite as a whole and Shark turning into tge bad guy plenty of parts that hit me in the feels, its just my opinion and i still prefer Zexal over Arc V anyday

@@kamiru2993 Judai and Yuma have similar attitudes to dueling. Again,I like Yuma being kinda crap at the game, often forgetting about effects of his own monsters and being stubborn when Astral points out his mistakes. I feel Yugi can't be bad because his story is that he's really good at games, especially Duel Monsters, Judai is going to a school of elite duelists and Yusei can't be bad because of his situation and his backstory has ton of experience. However one thing I find weird about Yuma's duelling is that well, Number Duels seem to just get Yuma to win even if he's made like 60 million mistakes and the opponent is playing like a pro. But Any other duel and Yuma can lose, like flat out lose easily. I don't hate Yuma but I do understand there's some bad ways about how he gets handled in duels.

So much this!!

TRAGOEDIA!!

GX anime D A R K N E S S

@@NeroPiroman Fair enough

I think it's interesting that the anime has a villain whose name is borrowed from the german word for "cheer", while the manga has a villain whose name is borrowed from the german word for "tragedy"

@@JackOfen Well tragoedia is more or less the Greek word too, right?

Sure as shit true for vrains :P

Not only that but every single manga is also completely different in terms of storyline and characterization.

The main characters are usually relatively the same but that's true

The thing is the anime is a direct commerical for the cards and booster packs at the time, so it has to keep up with the time all the time. The manga can take its time (and is probably why the anime and manga go their separate ways after DM).

The Zexal Manga actually came first believe it or not.

@ULGROTHA Reggie and Midori are so much better than the usual females for Yugioh that I find it hard to complain. Sure I wish they hadn't been sidelined after that, but they still got to do more than most. (Especially Reggie) Would've been cool to have Midori duel Tragoedia alongside Judai though. I was always sad she didn't get an on-screen victory.

@ULGROTHA I keep hoping her (and Reggie) will pop up in Duel Links? Would be cool getting a voice for them, if nothing else.

WAit your that guy from crunchyroll

@@turtledramamc5136 Yep! 😛

Filler is an anime-only thing, no? I mean, I don't think the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga had any filler either.

@@deproissant I mean can we call Yu-gi-Oh R Filler as its was just a unrelated side story between battle City and Memory World that was written after the original manga concluded? Or lots of the early chapters that were just a random game of the week with only the Duels against Kaiba, Bakura and Shady mattering in the long rung (well and I guess the 2 that lead to Yugi's friend group originally forming)?

Then can you !? Pretty tell ; at egypt , doesn't anyone recognize priest seto if thts true ?

or Louisiana lol

Nor man him Australian in my mind and will also be

Unrelated to story elements, but I like how Light and Darkness Dragon handled omni-negates. It's all powerful, but in the process, it's also exploitative/destructive to it's user and even itself. Nowadays, there's no interesting catch or drawback to negating like that.

@@hamburg4034 Yep, nowadays you simply negate everything the opponent does because that's how Yugioh is played now. The one that goes first sets a full field of omni-negates, and if the opponent doesn't have enough Hand-Traps and/or Kaijus, then they lose. I miss the days of Light and Darkness...

@@reikolupus136 ladd frustrates me it's such a ridiculously perfect boss monster for a chaos dragon deck, even matching redmd in statline. but then it hits you with its inability to be special summoned, meaning you have to bend over backwards to bring it out, and by that point you've gone against the strengths of the deck so much that it's actively detrimental to run and is basically only worthwhile if you need to nerf the deck for a more casual format like for rp or something ... which probably isn't going to appreciate an omninegate on legs anyway i would be absolutely fine with it being special summon-locked while in the grave or banished ( although the latter would probably only be a problem if you're somehow allowed to run _chaos dragons_ in a format where return from the different dimension is legal ) because even though only being able to summon it from the hand with redmd would be a pretty major blow to it, it would still leave it _far_ more usable if nothing else, i guess this means that it gets to hang with mangajome's other signature dragons as being untouched by my dirty chaos dragon hands despite being perfect candidates for it, even if its reason for "wow i can barely summon this thing" is "this thing absolutely does not want me using it" instead of the end dragons' "this is neat, but where the hell am i finding a tuner for it?" ( in prism or raiden, prob, but ehhhhhhhhh )

Also while taking no damage at all, which was crazy

Yeah!! So true!! That is why I love the manag too.. The duels are more interesting and better.. It is just a shame it is not continued... But, if a miracle happens and it will be continued!! Hell yeah!! I will try my best to buy the physical copy

@Aarav Sardana to be fair, if his character were more iconic, bug deck would have something to talk about

It was so weird to see Jesse / Johan not using a crystal beast deck. Or aster not using destiny heros

Probably cause they gave "Monsters in the backrow" gimmick to Edo and his Vision HEROes.

My complaint is that his duel is too short. Granted, it's a duel against someone who's not Jaden and not plot relevant compared to Reggie, but it still goes by way too quick. We barely get to see his deck since he only gets to summon 3 and discards the rest to recycle Emergency Cyber.

MUSTACHE!

She won a tag duel with Misawa, I think, but she never won any 1v1 matches.

Like she had any importance in the anime :/

She was pretty much the one who won the Tag Duel with Misawa supporting her. Given that their opponents were strong, that's saying something.

@@matteo964 She had slightly more importance in season 1 of the anime but yes she was never a important character

@@4wheal she won the duel vs Titan, but given how terrible and forgettable the Shadow Riders were i would hardly consider that an inportant duel

@Roman Francis yeah, Yusei should lose at least once

Judai never actually beat Zane through the best he ever got was a tie with him. I prefer Chazz as a comic relief character as it makes him stand out compared with the rest if the "rival" characters. Also Chazz was only really a rival to Judai in season 1 afterwards he kind of lost that postion to a new character in both season 2 and 3.

@@tylercoon1791 I agree 110%

This is somewhat true. The cards are completely different from reality but they're still good at that time

I feel like the anime was pretty much used to sell cards. Afaik the manga was able to do it’s own thing and practically invent cards that help tell a better story. Plus there’s less filler in a manga chapter vs an episode, which has always told me what pot of greed does. I personally prefer the manga over the anime because there was more consistency for the characters.

@@Akuma07 What was anime Chazz like? I didn't see much of it since I started working at about the time the show was on, but he seemed to start off as a badass with a reputation but then seemed like he became a joke character if his "Spirit animal" was an Ojama monster.

@kyuubinaruto17 He started off as a serious rival to Jaden, but towards the middle of season 1, they went a different direction, where he was still a rival, but more of an underdog who switched from using overpowered expensive cards to weaker combo oriented cards (Ojama). I mean he still used xyz/vwxyz like Kaiba and had a 3000 atk dragon to draw comparisons, but he definitely became more of a comedy relief person, loving Alexis, pretty much falling victim to whatever the villain of the season did. He was definitely more consistent in the manga in terms of his deck and his personality, but i’d imagine that as far as the manga went, it would be equate to a full season. If I had to guess about chazz’s inconsistency in the anime, they probably didn’t want him to be another Kaiba and the anime didn’t truly give him any competitive cards, those were reserved for whoever was considered his rival for the season.

@@Akuma07 As a chazz fan, the anime pains me whn he and the others were replace by new characters n only function as a plot device at the later seasons. Lol.

I totally agree.

Pretty much. The manga's best strength in a nutshell is basically "Season 1 characters done right.". In the anime they're pretty much just goofy school friends of Judai who are irrelevant if he's not around. Proven by season 2 and 3 when they got brainwashed/yeeted and yet nothing of value was lost. The manga made them feel more equal to him, but just happened to rush the ending.
