it simple they don't have enough hairspray for all the Previous Protagonists it would put them way over budget

Because they were afraid that any old protagonist could possibly shadow Yuya and decrease the new deck sales

Remember when the show was just about kids summoning monsters to fight in a tournament

When you haven't seen yugioh since 5d's and don't understand ALOT of what's going on in this theory

because putting that much detail in to the hair if they showed all up in one episode even 5 minutes would take years to animate, even if a single hair is out of place you know that the fan boys would go psycho

Yugi=card games in hell (shadow realm) Judai=card games at school Yusei=card games on motor cycles Yuma= Card games from a system Yuya=Card games on dragons

I was thinking the same thing. All Yugioh series took place in the original world. You can see the progression of the technology and summoning methods. If Zarc wanted to reunite his pieces he couldn't have the most powerful forces from the previous time line interfering. They weren't only the strongest/main characters, they were the ones with the most game changing magics. The Millennium items, Gentle Darkness, Crimson Dragon, Zexal. There's no way that he would be able to beat those powers if they came together.

I believe Zarc decided not to revive the main protagonists from the previous series because not only does he know that defeating them isn't certain but sending 4 avatars (Yu-boys) to take their place, i.e. Yuya instead of Yugi, Yuri instead of Judai, Yugo instead of Yusei and Yuto instead of Yuma, highly-guarantees his reinstatement back into the world without the interference of anyone who he knows is strong enough to prevent that, except for Ray but she hasn't been revived yet

They would steal the spotlight from Yuya

I just want Yugioh GX Season 5. I know its unlikely, but that's literally all I want.

Would be cool to see the previous 4 protagonists to face each Yu boy from their respective summoning methods, that to me would be very interesting

When Alexis showed up, I was hoping my Boi Jaden/Judai finally appear and confess and hit that

Yugi, Jaden, Yusai, and Yuma could have been manifested as fragments of Z-ARC in order to attempt to prevent Z-ARC from being reborn. Can you picture Z-ARC dueling Pharaoh Atem, Jaden/Yubel, Yusai, and Yuma within the minds of Yuya, Yugo, Yuto, and Yuri?

Can we get another season of *yu gi oh GX* after Jaden graduated that would be greaaaat thnx

There should have been more past characters in Arc-V including some classic Yugioh Protagonists. Here in my opinion who should've been in Arc-V. 1. Seto Kiaba (because of a certain theory) 2. Joey Wheeler (because I want to see his weird looking chin again) 3. Reginald Kastle (because Kaito wasn't enough) 4. Syrus or Chazz (because they only chose only 2 GX characters) 5. Yusei Fudo (because of a certain card!)

The simplest answer is that it would take away attention from Arc-V's protagonist Yuya by having previous show's protagonists playing an active role in the show.

Yu-Gi-Oh ince a show about card games, now a show about dimensional travel enough to make you get invested. Who would have guessed

question, why Yugi, Jaden, And Yuma turned into bad guys for while, And Yusei didn't?

So the way I saw it, was just that things were split up at random almost. A big thing to note is that The City never had the momentum malfunction. I don't think it's that Yusei doesn't exist in The City, but without that explosion, he would have never been orphaned, he would have never met Martha, Jack, and Crow, and he would have never become a Duelist (since he most likely would've followed his passion, science and machinery, just like his father). So it's not that these characters don't exist, just that the specific coincidences that lead to their rise never happened.

Yugioh dm- the oldest Yugioh gx- the darkest Yugioh 5ds- the only yugioh where the rival has more duels than the protagonist Yugioh zexal- the protagonist with the more loss Yugioh arc v- the protagonist to not duel the final boss Yugioh vrains- the newest

the reason and this is somewhat confirmed because one of the creators of arc-v sort of confirmed it is that the 4 dimensions are dimensions where the protagonists of each never existed and the events that transpired never happened. this is now from what i can tell a result of the original dimensions splitting into 4 new ones.

when yugi's grandpas soul being taken through a TV was enough to blow your mind never mind about this

Yugi is best protagonist. In my opinion

I still believe that the reason is because the other main characters would steal Yuya's spotlight and that's the reason that they gave us Asuka, Edo, Jack, Crow and Kaito just as fan service since they couldn't give us the main characters. But if Zarc manages to revive and no one can stop him i do hope that the main characters pop out of nowhere. And with your theory i guess it would make sense because it was Judai, Yusei and Yuma who united the other characters and with out them they couldn't meet or become friends.

i love how everyone says duel monsters was the best let me remind that duelist kingdom was the most broken one of them all.

Lmao what the fuck happened with yugioh I don't know shit anymore where my kuribohs at

This theory does make a lot of sense, and I agree with it. But for the people who have brains that can't comprehend this, you could just say the first 4 or 5 ( depending if Atem and Yugi count as one protagonist or two.) met Yuma before somehow and when the xyz dimension was attacked the protagonists other that Yuma, went there to help and got carded. ( but I doubt anyone would have the skills or even guts to card them)

“What did these theories have in common?” *”THEY BOTH HAD COPYRIGHT ISSUES.”*

Crisis On Infinite/Four Yu-Gi-Oh Worlds😆

as someone who only watched all of Yugi Moto series and like "partly" of GX I literally had no idea what you were saying at all xD.

Wow you've given me so much nostalgia. I remember watching Yugioh so much as a kid. Thank you for this. I appreciate you bringing back my love for Yugioh.

I'm sorry but with the amount of power imbued into yugi I just can't see anyone else beating the king of games (who was said to create the game in the first place). He had all 3 god cards and exodia. I'm sorry but it's a win

Maybe he revived Asuka in the hopes that his Fusion version could learn Rituals? XD

I hope Zarc gives us some exposition on that when he revives. And since Ray is gonna come back soon, she will probably do so aswell. I'm sure she knows something Leo doesn't.

See I thought they were all just busy in their own lives I mean like here Yugi:possibly going through school Judai:traveling the world to get better at dueling Yusei:running his dad's company Yuma:basically the end of zexal I could be wrong but I also agree with that

In other words, Zarc killed the other protagonists...

Guys guys, the most important thing is: what happened to the cubic deck of Aigami (Dark Side of Dimensions) at the end?

I haven't watched this show since GX. Man, it's gotten confusing.

when zexal came around I thought that I was done watching yugioh forever... but this video has made me think about giving arc-v a chance

This is a really great theory, props to you for coming up with something like this! I can really see this being the case~ c:

There's a flaw If yusie didn't exist after the split Then how does Jack have the dual runner that yusie made and he stole

I breathe in this theory!!! It makes perfect sense. My previous theory before the entire Zarc/Ray thing was revealed is that Akaba Leo is actually Kaiba Seto, but now that Ray and Zarc are introduced, I know better now. Now I was fiddling with this theory as well so I agree with you. But it would be nice to get explanation about why none of the original YGO series side chara such as Jounouchi/Joey or Anzu/Tea or even Bakura not mentioned....

sucks that your videos were taken down, anyway I love your videos dude and the way you tackle stuff

if Yugioh bring back the original Duelist from the Past that be awesome

After gx I tried to like 5ds its ok but after that everything is shit

Thank you for remembering in your imagery that was to be a 6th old character to be introduced in Arc V.

Can we all realize this started in Ancient Eygpt (5000 years before DM) with Pharaoh Atem in the first YuGiOh

Yugioh Duel Monsters is the best nuff said, after that I couldn't even watch it anymore...

Yugioh Duel Monsters for me is the best version.

Your's yu gi oh lore videos are amazing, and I truly feel that I need more of them

I came up with a filler series of the four (Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, and Yuma) getting their souls seperated from their bodies. Their souls would then be placed into an amulet which a new character would wear and have the four of them with him. (like Atem for Yugi) The characters goal would be to search for the bodies of the four and help them get their lives back. I thought it would be a good way to have the main characters meet and interact with each other better. But it is just a idea.

They all got shadow realmed thats y

I like how Yugi has Destiny Draw Probability, and Yuma has Xyz Change Manipulation thingy

Considering that the previous 4 protagonists all have some kind of power or magic involved, it’s possible that it protected them from being messed with.

Also as for the zarc resurrection theory it's likely that would have happened naturally if not for Ray's interference. From we saw of the bracelets, their primary function seems to be as a fail-safe preventing the Yu boys from meeting. If one of them enters the same area as another (providing one of the bracelet girls are near one of them) then the Yu boy who was originally there gets transported to another location. The fact that this system is the one used to stop Zarc's resurrection means that the way Zarc revives wouldn't be stopped by dueling. After all the way Zarc revives is by having all Yu boys in one place (and them dueling each other), so the theory that Zarc chose not to revive the four protagonist because they can stop his ressurrections doesn't hold a lot of weight. Also as Zarc aimed to be the strongest duelist by beating all others, preventing some of the strongest duelists from dueling doesn't make a lot of sense either. Finally, as I explained in the comment below at least Yusei is confirmed to exist in his dimension.

The answer is so simple: Yusei can't meet Yugi. Or Yuma, or Yuya. There was a 100-year time gap in between 5Ds and Duel Monsters, and them meeting would implode the world and destroy everything. Also, timelines imploding would cause the dimensions imploding, causing the revival of both Zarc and Ray. At the same time. Because mass cannot intersect mass, the original dimension would be GIGANTIC. And four identical earths? Yeah no. The four earths in the intro would not be able to exist. Even if they did exist within space, are the four dimensions on the same earths or on different earths? If they were on the same earth, how are they shown as four identical earths? Wouldn't the dimensions intersect, creating the United World in the first place? Arc-V never split, it just reset. All the dimensions are one, otherwise how would they be able to travel between them?

Lets de-prove that theory with this example : Kite should be good. Kite lost his memories? It has to be that, otherwise, its a different kite. YUMA has Astral, and guess what Astral has, thats right, you guessed it, the NUMERON CODE, which means he can play god, theres no way Zarc is ever touching him, but counter statement, at the end of *ZeXal*, they all had to stop a new (unshown) villan, and that villan could've been Zarc, and if all these universes are really together, then he probably beat them, yada yada....

Haven't watched Yugioh in a long time, but this caught my interest. Really makes me want to rewatch my favorite series, GX, and maybe even watch some of the later ones that I haven't watched.

Love these theories, I might have to keep coming back to this one to decide what I think about whether or not I agree with it

I just wanted Johan back! T_T

Zarc is a person I thought that he was a dragon because you see a dark shadow behind yuya in the duel against Selena and ruri

I think that synchro monsters did not appear in zexal because of the ener-d. Yusei became a scientist at the end of 5ds and found a way to stabilize the energy production of Synchro monsters. If his theory wasn't a permanent fix and/or his team needed more time to get the stabilization right and create a permanent fix, the use of synchros would have been banned to prevent a zero reverse. If zexal takes place in the main timeline, then it would explain the lack of synchros. By the time zarc rolled around we know that synchro monsters were a thing again. So thus they were unbanned due to their stabilization finally being completed.

I think to prove that 4 protags were in the same timeline and the summoning method complex can take a history book. We could say like this: years after the time of 5Ds (when Yusei was already dead),ppl discovered XYZ,and probably Astral and Barian world. Then we have the time of Zexal when ppl forsook all Fusion and Synchro summon to pursuit XYZ (while a few ppl still fusion during the time of 5Ds). U see in the end of Zexal Yuma and his friends were going to attack "sth strange" that was invading Astral,Barian and the Earth. It could be that Yuma won,died of old age and over time Barian and Astral world became irrelevant. Or it could be that a great war broke out that destroyed Astral and Barian,but the Earth managed to survive and win,some duelists died in battle while some died of old age. Maybe due to the aftermath of the war that ppl realized they needed more than XYZ,or they just rediscovered Fusion and Synchro. Anyways,we have a renaissance on Fusion and Synchro and finally 3 summoning methods coexist equally (although Ritual wasn't recovered much XD). So years (maybe hundreds of) after Yuma's death and the renaissance,we have a new star named Zarc who could use all 3 summoning methods then the story just goes like what Yugioh Everything said.

Massive spoilers up to 129???!?!?!? You do know that tomorrow 130 is coming out right? But over all good theory dylan

great video, u just proved why the other protagonists are not the protagonists of* arc v

the infamous kaiba theory mentioned at the beginning sounds fascinating. It was deleted but was it posted somewhere else? I need to see that video. I am extremely curious.

you are my first like and suscribe of 2017 love the vid keep up the good work

All of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series are one linear timeline? Huh.

The real reason is because MCs from the previous series would steal the show from current MC. Maybe not so much Judai and Yuma, but if Yugi or Yusei shows up, everyone is going to be more interested in them than Yuya. The audience's focus will shift away from the intended main protagonist to whoever else the audience likes best, which would ruin the intended story. Good writers know this and will avoid writing in old main characters other than giving them a few seconds of cameo.

Good theory Dylan I think if Zarc revived the protagnoist they would try to stop them especially Judai trying to stop Leo.

I am so happy I saw this on my recommendation list. Such an interesting video. I can really see this being a reason why the other 4 aren't here. Bloody amazing :)

Daaamn last time I watched Yu-Gi-Oh, niggas were going wild on motorcycles

I honestly agree with your theory

Since the original timeline was destroyed. The world was rewritten as certain things was wiped out so no strong person could appear whether if it’s for a good or bad reason. The four Zarc beings were embedded then with the righteousness of the four heroes. Each of the Zarc beings possess goodness in them as they show characteristics from the four original protagonist.

6:29:if I am in that school,I'm freaking taking composite summon course just for that freaking topdeck lesson.

30 seconds into what you are talking about and I'm confused

But Dylan!!!! Yugo and Rin are reading a book based off of Yusei's duel runner in a flashback!

the most badass ending i can think of for arc-v would be the worlds combining leading to the original 4 coming back from being sealed by some force/ revive and what not and supporting yuya into coming back or better yet defecting zarc themselves

YugiohEverything did you do about how the 4 parts of Zarc are the 4 main protagonists I remember watching but can't find it on your channel

I think they are hiding something for us, I think they will show the older protagonists and I hope that, or atleast they will show them at least smiling or just looking at the defeat of zarc. or maybe the protagonists are also split into 4. and I'm sure that every protagonist was in 1 of the 4 dimensions, because yugi mostly uses normal monsters, Judai uses fusion, Yusei uses synchro, yuma uses xyz. maybe before the split they were one?

I add just a couple extra, Why not revive Jonouichi and Kaiba, The Panda dude. I guess Kaiba could be bought and No one is Luckier than the God of Luck Himself. What I was getting at is it possible that he wanted to break friendships that transcended time, since they lead to powerful foes. I say the Army of Light is revealed; those forces mentioned and not shone are Leos forces trying to bring the worlds together.

The split egos of Zarc actually reminds me of past protagonists with slight personalities of them into all 4 of them. Like for example: Yusei and Yugo.

been wondering about this it makes so much sense, (i didnt know about them resurrecting people so seeing edo etc confused me) but this makes perfect sense especially with yusei and yugi no one would resurrect good hearted duelists that insanely good, and yuma and jaden are of nearly the same skill level so bringing them back would be just about as bad. You sir are a genius, got +1 subs

Im slightly confuse, So this zarc dude plan this whole out since the first Yugioh!? And Pick who would be the main MC on each series and plan his survival all the way to now??

What about rathie lazar and sayer who appeared in both 5ds and arc-v they wouldnt have a purpose for zarc

This actually blew my mind. Great job

I always like your theory videos!

I mean its fairly obvious why they are not. Because the events of DM to Zexal never took place

Kaiba and kaiser never appeared but kaito and jack did :3?

from where is the pic from 9:05? i love your theories by the way!!!

I think the question is how he was able to split the dimension into 4 different ones in the first place? It was never shown if he had superpowers or not in the beginning, used a magic item or something,in the anime. All we know is that he was the best duelist of his time and used his monsters to do so(let's be real, that doesn't make much sense)

I knew Zane is in this Show! Somewhere.............

So make it clearly: Duel Monsters, Duel Monsters GX and 5D's are a Universe. ZEXAL is another Universe, not a sequel. Arc-V is another Universe that was done in 5 others universes. And the protagonists are not in Arc-V because they are not the protagonists in those series, that's simple. And the other's appearance was made just for the show and for the new cards for old cards support.

When yuya defeats Dennis in the xyz dimension the dad says he won the duel tournament on top of the heart building and I was thinking that he might be yuma

I heard that the syncro dimension in the anime was a few years before The protag arrived or even the destruction of domino city and that all the dimensions are alternate timelines similar to the original series they are from

#freemyniggareiji just wanna see more DDD duelists as an IRL player of the deck

Because even the creators know that u can't taint the solid game/show that is Yugioh, with a pathetic excuse for a new gaming mechanic. The characters and show soully exist as a means of showing off a gaming mechanic.

I would love to know who Mr. Goha is and why he thinks Rush duels are evil. Why he’s taking his time to get Yuga. If he honestly thought Rush Dueling was or is evil. He most likely would go after him long from now. That’s why Im so excited to find out more about him. Can’t wait to find out why he’s doing all this, I’m soooo exited to find out. Mr. Goha is a Mr Mystery that’s for sure.

Literally over 4 years OK we are definitely in the future

So if this is correct and that the united dimensions connected to the main timeline. Then what if Ray's idea wasn't to split herself up. She only meant to seperata zarc and the dimensions to make it harder. But what if she right before she went to confront zarc she also wanted to bring back the the four legendary heroes in each and every dimensions. So that if Zarc does try to come back they would put a stop to him. But sometihng had to go wrong. Zarc must've saw what Ray was doing and quickly acted to stop her from bringing back the four legendary duelist from the dead. along with that she also might've wanted to bring back their friends and companions as back up against. So Zarc aborted the main 4 heores. So as of now they were never even born. So Zarc is evil. And being the main protage(Antag now) then this must means with his growing power when he becomes one. No one will be able to stand up to him. Unless Ray finds a way to bring back atleast TWO of the old heroes. And Reiji cant stop Zarc. Him and Akaba leo BARELY held their own once Zarc Began awakening. Ray is the only thing that can stand a chance now. But his power seperately countinues to grow. The monsters evolve and fusion and overlay with each other to further increase their power. Im sorry but this might end with everoyne losing. If Ray uses the bracelet cards again. She might can correctly bring back. Yusei, Judai, Yuma, and the god Atem. anyways I hope you read this, sorry it was so long.
