I honestly don't see how people can despise judai's character. It had such a great development

5ds was so emotional.

its really sad how judai became so cold in season 4. Everytime he dueled someone would die or get hurt which is why he lost the joy of dueling. The ending was so satisfying because yugi teaches jaden that dueling is all about having fun and makes jaden come back to his old self.

Joey is actually a better duelist than we give him credit for. He doesn't have reality altering powers like Atem, or the money to get whatever card he want like Kaiba, he has to rely on his skill alone

Joey is almost dead and what does kaiba say? "If Joey (Jonuchi) dies here... i'll have to admit that he is a true duelist" That gave me some mix feelings

Season 4 of GX. It sad seeing all the characters grow up and find their way.

#5 ''I think this is the only other non-death scene on this list, it's the moment where Atem departs to the afterlife'' Umm...

When Atem left, I cried for 2 hours straight when I first saw it... I still cry for like half an hour

For me it will always be the 5Ds ending... I literally cannot watch those last 4 minutes without tearing up! 😢😢.

I would probably put Z-ONE's death in personally. He was a good guy, who sincerely tried his hardest to save as many people as he could. But after he realised his own powerlessness, he lost hope. He carried on trying to save people, but gave up his utopic ideals to despair and looked for a more logical solution. After losing to Yusei, he finally found hope again, but wasn't able to see it through because he sacrificed his life to save Yusei and everyone else and right his wrongs. He didn't get a lot of screen-time, but he was a good character and his ending was both emotional and heart warming at the same time.

Dang the moment when you realize that 5ds had a lot of deaths it has a lot of feels in it

10. Yusei losing to Kalin for the first time and being badly injured. 9. Carly's death scene. 8. Marik being abused and longing to have a good life away from his dad. 7. Yusei's adopted mother being abosrbed by an earthbound immortal. 6. Alito's death by Girag. 5. Yuto dying and being absorbed. 4. Astral dying after being stabbed by Number 96 in spear form. 3. Quattro's death after his duel with Nash. 2. Quinton and Trey's self sacrifice to stop the Barian's and the fact that they knew they were going to die. 1. Kite dying.

who wants to see top 10 BADASS MOMENTS in YuGiOh?

Not in a Special​ order •Zane's death •Atem depart last duel •Jaden & Alexis last night •Kaito's Death •Vector going inside Don thousand after taking off from Yuma •Kiryuu Death •Bruno's Death •Aporia Death •Zone Death •Ryo Death •Mind controled Joey vs Yugi •Jack & Carly confession •Team 5DS going their own ways to the future (like really, future colors didnt help at all, fkn nostalgia) •Jaden's voice reaching humanity in the darkness

I think the saddest thing about Carly's "death" is that it was her last big hurrah. She was a pretty good character; it pisses me off that she just went back to being comic relief after the Dark Signer arc.

The saddest scene for me in the entire series would be Bruno's death in 5DS 😢

The part about Bruno’s death that hurt the most was the reaction of the group finding out. Crow and Aki were visibly shook, Rua and Ruka were horrified, and Jack was so livid he ordered Yusei to defeat Z-ONE in revenge stating he couldn’t stand by and let someone use his friend as a shield.

I only ever watched Duel Monsters and GX, but to me, the GX ending killed me. How it was so obvious that Asuka (Alexis) was deeply in love with Judai (Jaden), and just her dejectedness as she realized that Judai just couldn't see her feelings. Having a happy ending where Judai and Asuka left to adventure the world together would've made the whole thing perfect to me

Bruno's death is definitely one of the saddest moments, not only for what happens leading up to and soon after. But right as 5D's was ending, on the final episode, right after watching everyone go their own ways, we get a shot of Bruno's visor sitting right by the WRGP trophy. Giving us a proper final goodbye to him as well. "Gone, but not forgotten" comes to mind, and it brings tears to my eyes when I see it.

Kinda funny (in an ironic way) how your Number 1 most saddest moment and death is the demise of an android. Come to think of it Bruno and Android 16 from DBZ have a lot in common. The most notable being that they where created and designed after someone the creator knew from the past and made to be enemy of the Protagonist but in the end went a against said functions and died permanently. Both in shows where "death" really isn't a consequence or permanent.

When I was a kid i thought the dub ending to Yu Gi Oh GX was the worst thing ever. Because they never continued it, and it ended with Cyrus implying the Jaden died, and he was my favorite character at the time so the fact that they supposedly ended it so terribly really crushed my child heart

10: Kaiba is captured by the seal 9: Yugi is captured by the seal 8: Joey near death scene 7: Kisara death. 6: Lua death 5: Amon death. 4: Atem leaves. 3: Carly death 2: Aporia death 1: ZONE death.

Atem's departure is #1 for Heartbreaking but so perfect.

#1 sawatari's W/L ratio.

1.Dennis carding himself 2.ignis seeing the destroyed 3.yugo’s dule runner being destroyed by Rin 4.bruno dieing at the end of 5D’s 5.jadens entire story 6.carly and Kalin’s dark signer deaths 7.leo dieing 8.all barian backstorys 9.atem leaves (also do you guys count this as a death scene because technically atem went to the afterlife) 10.yubel’s back story -how about top ten awsone scenes in yugioh-

One of the saddest scenes in my opinion is Bruno's death scene, Yuya breaking down in the duel against Yuri, Yami Yugi doing into the afterlife and Kito/Kite death in Zexal II.

aa for me the saddest moment(s?) in yugioh would be in zexal when astral dies and goes back to the astral world in a sort of coma because at the time we didnt kno that he was still alive somewhere all we saw was him reaching for yuuma one last time (after sacrificing himself for him !!) then dissolving into dust. what really gets to me is the episodes after this scene because its so obvious that yuuma is suffering from severe depression from seeing astral die right in front of him. then their reunion scene where yuuma hugs astral and says he wont let go ever again....... that always makes me tear up

I wouldn't be able to make that list without fitting in at least 7 scenes from Zexal, there were a lot of sad moments like the deaths of Shark, Alito, Vector, IV, III and V, Tron, Kaito, Astral, Mizael...and I mean, Challenge The GAME made a lot !

So the Original Yugioh is the only one that I've watched dubbed instead of subbed. I never knew that Joey actually died there. So after seeing this video, I went to watch it, and the episode is literally called ''Jounochi dies''. Wow. Now I really need to watch the entirety of the original series in Japanese.

Arc v when Dennis cards himself

The second duel between Jesse and Zane would likely be high on anyone's list of favorite GX duels.For me,it's number one for plenty of reasons.First,the background colors were beautiful.The mixture of purple and pink of the sunset was perfect,as the sunset represented Zane's life slowly but surely coming to an end.The x-ray shots of Zane's heart we see throughout the Duel made it clear that Zane was less than 22 minutes away from dying,that he was mere minutes from death.I love that,as Season 3 progressed,we see these x-ray shots of Zane's heart occasionally.And those back-and-forth counters made the Duel pretty suspenseful,because whenever Zane landed what seemed like a finishing blow,Jesse saved himself by countering what was thrown at him.

That duel with Aporia is easily my #1. Throughout all of 5Ds, I felt this weird protectiveness toward the twins, making any point when they were in danger the most impactful points in the show for me. When Rua sacrificed himself like that, there was so much emotion in the act, in the score, in the fact that it was an extremely painful pierce to the heart, that I really just felt probably more than I have in any story. Ruka's reaction to it just made it all the more agonizingly beautiful to watch. It's crazy just how much it impacted me. Absolutely beautiful moment.

Great list. Personally I would have put Hell Kaiser's death a little higher and replaced Rio's death with IV's death, but great list nonetheless.

For me top 3 is 3. When Yami Yugi (Atem) lost against Rafael and says :«It should have been me. Not him. It's not fair. Yugi... Came back!!!!» 2.When Yami Yugi (Atem) wins against Yugi and Yugi says :«I'm always with you...» and when Atem start crying 1.When Atem goes to the afterlife Ithink that this is the saddest moment in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

I thought that yuto first being absorbed into Yuma for the first time pretty sad because at the time, I thought he died and yuto is my favourite yugioh character, plus the music was sad sounding. It wasn't called yutos passionate soul for no reason...

Seeing my man Jaden beat everyone in one turn during the last tournament, it really put the past "three years" into perspective and showed how much his character changed and how he lost the passion and the worry his teammate (Alexis) had for him and the little regard he gave to any help be received Somber yet badass mood, hard feels

I love the duel of Rio and Dumon and Carley vs Jack I LOVE IT

Out of topic but two things I absolutely adore about Zexal episodes 134-135 (aside from Kaito’s awesome death scenes and his speech) are Mizael’s character development and Orbital 7’s death. Now before this episode Mizael made it pretty clear that he looked down on human in general; he pretty much had a hard time to accept that he was once human and there’s a lot of anger from him after he experienced his past. Thanks to Kaito’s kindness and action though Mizael saw the strength of humanity, he was moved by how far Kaito was willing to sacrifice himself and decided to place his trust in humanity. In the aftermath Kaito only told Mizael to “follow the path you believe in”; Mizael could have just helped Don Thousand and hold onto Number 100, instead Mizael believed in Kaito and Yuma, gave Yuma the key card to win against Don Thousand and accepted his “human side”. Orbital 7 was also treated pretty well. I honestly loved their relationship since the beginning, so I‘m glad much they had such a powerful scene in their last ‘moment’. It was heartbreaking to watch Orbital 7 risking his whole life to protect Kaito from any major harm. Sure Kaito did programme him that way, but still we all can tell that Orbital 7 truly loves Katio dearly. Orbital 7 is a gag character, but I do think he is perhaps the best robot character in Yu-gi-oh. It kinda made me a bit sad that hardly anyone mention Orbital 7’s death when episode 135 is brought up. Overall Zexal episode 134-135 are two of my favourite episodes in Yu-gi-oh. The only downside is the duel writing, but aside from that everything else is prefect.

When Alexis couldn’t confront her feelings to Jaden and she cried

I AGREE SOOO MUCH ON THE JUDAI YUKI ONE to think about it it's just depressing

I think the reason Jaden's story may not work for some is that most of the fans I talk to don't watch the subs, and therefore never got to see that hardened season 4 version. I also know people who never got past season 1 because they hated him and the writing that much. Seeing the transformation across all four seasons makes its place on this list very understandable.

I think what makes Kaito's death sadder is we were get subtle hints in episodes before this duel he was dying anyway and I think Kaito knew he was going to die soon anyway and fully accepted that, which is he why he continued the duel.

What was really sad for me was yugi leaving Yami's body cause of the Orichalchoas (idk how to spell it) Yami shows so much emotion in that scene

Wow this is really an emotional list and I absolutely love your choices, especially number one. That scene still makes me bawl every time I watch it. Also I appreciated how much you respect and love Judai's character development b/c I thought I was alone on that

I cried when Carly died at Yugioh 5DS and my parents was like its just anime and i cried even more

Nice reasoning for the number 1 spot. My personal saddest moment is Tron's death. I think it was quite heartwarming and I was happy to see Tron push aside revenge for the sake of his family.

The fact that you think Yudai is not annoying makes you better than other yugi-fans...

1. Zane's death in GX(Eng version) 2. Kite's death in Zexal 3. Atem loses Yugi after he was defeated by Rafael (DM) 4. Jaden says goodbye to Syrus and fuses with Yubel in GX(Eng version) 5. Atem leaves to Spirit world.(DM) 6. Carlys death in 5ds. My top 6 saddest moments

bruno death was sad.i remember watching this when it was new in japan and cried at the end when i saw his death

number 11, that everyone says Yugo's name wrong

Zexal has so many sad moments.

Love your work. Keep it up. Can't wait for Vrains!!!

I definitely agree that Bruno's death was the saddest. One sad moment for me was the battle with Zarc, where Sora tries to get through to Yuya and fails. Poor guy trying to save his best friend. Other deaths like Aporia and Zone are tragic and really tearjerkers. Especially when you find out about what They suffered in the future.

Atem's departure to the Afterlife has got to be my number one choice. It was so bittersweet!

I was expecting the scene where Yami has an emotional breakdown after Yugi was taken by the Seal of Orichalcos from Yugioh Duel Monsters to be on the list. I remember seeing it as a kid and feeling so bad for Yami because he stood and watched as someone he cared about so much was taken away by an evil force and he was responsible for it. This scene should've been on the list, not too high up on the list, maybe at the #7 or #8 spots, it was a sad scene but it wasn't that heartwrenching

Hold the phone, Rio and Kaito both make the list but Shark doesn't? That one gets me every time, it is a heartbreaking conclusion after everything the pair had been through.

As someone who only watched the original, gx, and like a third of season one from 5ds I'm fucking lost lol

My Top 5 5. Playmaker defeats Blue Angel (Vrains) 4. Aki Izayoi's backstory (5ds) 3. Zane's death (GX) 2. Rio and Dumon lose to Vector (Zexal) 1. Aoi and Miyu's friendship (Vrains)

Excellent top 10 as always mate. No matter how many Top 10's you do, the 'Number X' voice has to be my second favourite voice you do :/ I'd have to say the only scene that ever made me feel really emotional/sad was the end of Duel Monsters. No matter how many times I watch those final 4 episodes still gets me. I feel like that would be 100% different if Arc V wasn't the first show i'd watched subbed - missing out on so many episodes from GX, 5Ds and obviously the censorship and change in context the dub brings to fit that audience, and make events seem less impactful than the originally were intended. Might have to go back and watch the final arc of 5D's at some point :)

Excellent video as always! I could not make a list like this. So many great and sad moments in all YGO! I'll say that Jonouchi and Yugi's scenes always make me literally cry. Carly scene was really well done, too. I totally agree with most part of the list, and even when not, it's always really cool to hear you talk about the parts you liked. Probably I'll go with Atem in first place (that's what I tried to say before, Atem not Yugi). As a side not, if you're going to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, BEWARE OF THE FEELS. Obviously not going to spoil it, but there are really great and sad scenes in that anime too. In every part. Thanks again for the video, always makes the day better!

Damn, when Zayn (Kaiser) died i almost cried, he was my fave character in all of Yu Gi Oh series...

People: "aNiMe iS JuSt FoR kIdS!" Me, an intellectual:

#8 is the reason why I fell in love with Yu-Gi-oh and why I'm here commenting on this video at this very moment. So glad you included it in your list 😊

1 - Atem using the Seal of Orichalcos and losing plus losing Yugi is the saddest moment in Yugioh (even if he was able to save him later on) 2 - Atem Leaving

I'm gonna have to say, as an additional choice: -Nash/Shark's death in ZEXAL 143, since the music that played really set up the mood, as the fact that we really got to know Shark throughout the series, and see all the trouble he's been through. And when he finally admits to Yuma he's his best friend really struck me in the heart, followed by Yuma screaming his name. 😢

Jack also admitted he loved carly. You should of moved it up one

Thank you for this video Ive been dying for this

Hey, Dylan! Wow, from 40 to 10 :o. This is going to be a really good video! Ryo's death was really impactful! All of the dark singers Arc was really good, it Kiryu was one of the saddest storylines for the dark signers. Depression is really nothing to scoff at. And I think Judai was one of the best character types to tell that with. I do think that Ruka was part of the reason why Rua's death was so impactful. That along with Rua's lifeless eyes, including the fact that they were so young. I feel like Carly was dragged into this whole thing unfairly, which gave depth to her character, and made this even sadder. I just wish more could have been done with Carly. I really did feel bad for Bruno. It's unfortunate that someone's life was played with like that, just for Zone's plan, and Zone didn't even succeed.

you missed one... When atemu lost against Rafael and Muto pushed him away from the seal of orichalcos...:(

I think Atem's farewell from the original series is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the franchise.

When Rio died, it felt like a arrow hit me in the chest, I couldn't stop crying

yooooo looking forward to a part 2!!

The ending of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters is for me the saddest moment, but your list is very good.

That ONE episode of 5ds that killed off Martha (Yusei's foster mother) AND RALLY I cried for 30 minutes straight after that

the saddest scene for me was the berserker soul moment, cause when you think about it, when atem overkills weevil, he kills the ONLY source of info that could lead him to yugi, and just before that moment weevil made atem think that yugi had been erased, that is genuine, unfiltered, primal rage coming out of atem. which is an emotion that we had never truly seen from him before.

Who can definitely relate to Judai?Being a happy,friendly and positive person but something happens in your life and you become a different person whether you become a depressing person or a negative person.

this video should be completely covered with zexal deaths. like, Yuma is the one who lost pretty much everyone during season 2

Mr.Yusei I don't feel so good

Thank you or the recommendation of seeing Joey's in Sub! Also, for me, I can't do anything but cry every time I see the final part of Yusei vs Rudger(Roman - I think was in the dub). That speach Yusei has showing that "darkness" he hides. How much he blames his father or how much guilt he has. In my opinion, It's a really strong Yusei moment that make me love this character. When people tell me Yusei is a Gary Sue, I always put this moment to show them that he isn't and he's lack of character development is because he already is a complex person. Thank you very much! Greetings from Argentina. PD: I agree with the moments of this list. And appreciate that there are others who see Judai story the way I do.

As a Kaito fanboy his death is my saddest but hands down on Joeys and Brunos, the fact how Joey practicaly won the duel got me the most and Tristans reaction to all of it killed me, also what could have made Brunos even more tragic was if we had seen something like a flashback of little kid Bruno meeting Yusei or if at the end of 5ds the night before everyone went their own ways we would have seen little kid Bruno

I have a short answer: All of Zexal II. Who watched all of it will know what I mean.... :D To leave it with an example: Rio's situation in II near the end and Shark's reaction to it (to name one?)

Sadly I think Kisara’s death should be on this list. That was up there for me.

Great video Dylan, really interesting :)

Nice list!!! One moment i would add is crow's death in arc-v. Well arc-v did a lot of mistakes and ect but i think the moment bb carded crow was done pretty good. But none the less nice vid!!

Kaito death got me really bad. Saddest moment in my opinion

10. Judai leaving Duel Academy (GX) 9. Tron's death (Zexal) 8. Kiryuu's death (5D's) 7. Carly's death (5D's) 6. Rio's death (Zexal) 5. Shark's death (Zexal) 4. Ryo Marifuji's death (GX) 3. Kaito's death (Zexal) 2. Bruno's death (5D's) 1. Atem's goodbye (Duel Monsters)

I am glade you put Kaito's death on this list because that is one of the only few scenes in any show that i cryed

@Yugioh Everything what's the ost @ 6:45-7:45?? Is it from ZEXAL??

But Dylan I do believe Atem will come back one day haha great list dylan

now we need top 10 triumphant scenes in yugioh because the summoning of life stream dragon which was hype as shit

I'm writing a song about Yu-Gi-Oh and this has given me inspiration. Thank you!

Nice vid you should do a top 10 duelists of all time in all the shows and maybe even include villains that woule be class.

Arc V ending because it was so horribly sad 😭

My top 10 Saddest moments: 10 - Amelda and Valon past (japanese only) Not popular characters but I didn't know their real stories, different in french version. But I will never forget the church on fire or Amelda's brother death 9 - Aki past 8 - Zexal ending (I weep with joy when ALL DEAD CHARACTERS are back !!!!) Maybe it's ridiculous but I don't care. 7 - Shark death in his final duel 6 - Vector and Mizael deaths in ep 138 5 - Durbe death 4 - Mizael past (he was cute younger but I WISH KNOW MORE ABOUT HIS FAMILY !!!! With Lamenting Barian for OST, it's perfect to remember this scene ! And I cried Kaito death in the same episode) 3 - Yusei past (when he was a baby saved by his father before the destruction) 2 - 5D's ending (I weed with joy again for Yusei x Aki scene and say goodbye to everyone... Best end ever...) 1 - Alito death* *I know it's crazy, I just discover him in ep 130 with his past (sad story too) and duel with Yuma, I fall in love him and 3 episodes later... I LOOSE HIM ALREADY !! (tissues 💦) And no saddest moments in Arcv and for GX, I don't remember Haha. Rest In Peace.

I cried at: Kite's *(Dub)* Death Carly's *(Dub, obviously)* Death. And when Carly's like: "The Netherworld is calling me. I'd better get going", she's... innocent, yet *SO* brave in my opinion, and I just... I find myself wanting to: Take Vector from Zexal on, in a Seal of Orichalcos Shadow Duel, in the Holographic Colosseum where Yugi and Kaiba battled in Battle City Finals, equip Armed Samurai - Ben Kei, with Lightning Blade, Fusion Sword Murasame Blade, Divine Sword Phoenix Blade, and Mage Power, and slam him with 22,000 damage; 4,400 × 5 direct attacks, and just... *Incinerate* him - On Carly's behalf of course.

Here's mine and I'm only doing 5: Shark's death - I like Shark so much. Didn't deserve such a horrible death. Having to fight Yuma because Don Thousand basically possessed him. That feels so tragic. He was another caught in the crossfire. Carly's death - I hated her and all, but a completely innocent character dying is the tragic part for me. She didn't deserve being treated that badly. She was killed, brung back as a Dark Signer with so much confusion, and didn't want to kill Jack. Tragic Joey's death - I genuinely hate Joey, but WOW. That's a sad scene. Not as powerful as the next two, but... Idk what to say. At all. Bruno and Kaito - Tied for first btw. Bruno was a great character in 5D's and it felt like I died inside because... He was so prominent. You actually get to know the two sides of Bruno, and it's such a tragic scene because although it was instant, it was a moment that hit everyone hard, especially Yusei. And for Kaito... I have a massive bias for him and all but that's such a horrible way to go. Not only was so many people watching (Yuma, Astral and Tori, His younger brother and father, Mizar) it, but OH. MY. GOD. Everyone else at least had nice final moments without too much suffering, or just some pain. Imagine not being able to BREATHE. And everyone is watching it. INCLUDING YOUR FAMILY. It's tragic. Probably the worst way to go out of everyone (At least for main characters)

For me the saddest moment is when Yugi took Atems place after losing to Raphael during the Orichalchos arc. One of the only moments in yugioh that actually made me cry.

Noah’s death was sad, especially since we never saw him again. Atem’s departure was sad as hell. Shadi’s death was also sad.

Thank you for this list Dylan

This list just adds to the reasons why people get attached to anime. They see everyone grow and then they get killed for at least a bit of time and we just sit there wondering what went wrong and why things had to happen this way
