He also met Spiderman.

The abridged version>Zarc

I agree!

Kaiba has a 107th rate deck.

Anand Shirendev because kaiba‘s deck is to slow. He just normal summon, set a trap and pass. Everyone could counter that

@Nyndeed I mean you can't really say it's slow when all decks sorta followed that same formula back then, if they are all slow then wouldn't they all be balanced? I don't remember that many decks pre gx that would let you special summon like 2 to 3 monsters in 1 turn. That being said I would agree that while the strategy is basic you can't really fault the deck because the game was more primitive back when it started compared to present. Before you would build a deck with a balanced amount of spells traps and monsters, nowadays you could get away with playing very little back row if your monsters have the right synergy and appropriate effects to negate your opponent.

Sanlaitto Yero Ouberdoraivu My point is that a lot of the duelist in vrains or arcv could otk kaiba or yugi. Yugi and kaiba are just that high cause of nostalgia

I am watching Zexal for the first time now, early on when Shark and Yuma tag dueled against those gangsters they called out their opponents for stacking their decks to draw the exact situational cards they needed at the right time. Knowing Yuma can do shining draw later (and the writer does this for practically every character except Brave Battler) makes this hilarious.

Yeah that got me too. I was very confused and conflicted a lot

Exactly. Then why not count all the losses from playmaker during the Lost Incident. This is basically a zero logic biased tier.

yeah, *THE CHAZZ* would most definitely be high A if we judged him based on his greatest accomplishments. If you look at his record, he managed to beat nearly the *entirety of the student body of duel academy* at least TWICE (also winning the GX tournament in the process), making him have the most wins of ANY CHARACTER IN ANY OF THE SERIES. His biggest failiures come from his losses against adrian Gekko and Sartorius.

@@roboppi6368 He did in one video comparing the protagonists. I'm not kidding.

Kaiba's biggest problem is that he always loses to a big villain. He even lost to Noah, the antagonist of his family's arc, leaving Yugi to clean up the pieces again.

@@ramonvanesveld2558 To be fair, he put Declan at really high A tier, only behind Kaiba the Yugis, and Yusei, making Declan the 5th top duelist on the list. That's pretty high. I wouldn't quiet put him in the same class as Yugi or Yusei, those two are just OP and have unique abilities to draw cards they need when loosing. You are right about Declan's father though. Declan's father was a brutal dualist who was probably as good if not possibly better than Declan. It's hard to say how good he was with just a single dual as luck/plot armor may have helped in that one dual, but considering he probably taught many of the best dualist in the fusion realm, he's up their in ranks.

Dmitri Eriksson lol you god damn right

he didnt willed it. It was coded in the last fckign second as it's kaibas network and his cards were all digital. So yea kaiba pro coder

Yami screws the rules way more along with several other duelist

That's not even talking about his hacks, like CONTROLLING THE F-ING DUEL SPIRITS AKA He can literally see when and which monsters are going to come from his deck and the one of his opponent if he wanted to. He can also, just grade his opponents by looking at then, and saw just Yugi with the 3 God cards and knew that he was highest threat to date(Which was true) he had to face.

He is the only protagonist outside of playmaker that has not blatantly cheated. Yami can stack the deck with his will. Yusei can top deck majestic dragon. Don't get me started on Yuma. Yuya can add cards frond the 'Yu' boys to his deck, mainly Phantom Knights. I don't count extra deck card creation unless it is explicitly stated that a character should not be able to do that. Also he is the biggest hero out of the bunch. He has ended planetary, universal, and reality destroying threats along with whatever kind of threat Darkness was (I think planetary). He also is the only one that has any real character development. He is best boi.

Franshesko Uruena h it's like endgame since he saved the world even when he lost (Nightshroud stole everyone) (probably not Kaiba and Yugi) but 3rd Yuma 2nd saving all 3 worlds and 1st Yuya saving 4 dimensions (debatable about 1st and 2nd)

Deathmare Judai is first. Yuya is second and Yuma is third. Yuya saved four dimensions which were actually just one that was split into four by Zarc. Judai saved 12 WHOLE dimensions from Yubel by preventing her from summoning Super Fusion God using Chain Material. Judai saved all of reality. Dimension is a plane of existence in terms of fiction, not just one earth. Yuma saved Earth, Barian World, and Astral World. That's cute. Even disregarding the previous feat, Judai defeated the Light of Destruction, a universal threat(which has been stated in the show) that has both conquered and destroyed numerous worlds and species. It is not even a contest in terms of who is the biggest hero of the bunch. I am not saying he is the best duelist of the bunch, but definitely the most developed protagonist.

Yusei had to win with a random-mixed deck / win against 1v3 twice against Named Opponents , Atem can control whatever card he desires , both of these duelists are too OP to be compared to the rest as far as I know

@@zettgundam6317 Agree 100%. Yusei had to win with a random assortment of cards & a deck that couldn't attack his opponents' monsters while Atem had to duel with half his deck rendered unusable by the crush card. They're leagues more skilled than the rest of the cast.

Jaden wouldn't stand a chance against Yugi or Yusei

@@zettgundam6317 Yusei and the Pharaoh displayed skills to overcome seemingly impossible odds multiple times. but we can't forget the pharaoh and muto yugi literally built their deck together (which means the strategies came from the both of them). This shows in the last duel, it appeared they took the cards in their shared deck with them separately. some of them even directly represent their fusion (metaphorical to Yugi and the pharaoh) like the Pharaoh took Gaia, Yugi took Curse of Dragon - Pharaoh took Dark Magician, Yugi took Buster Blader. in terms of skill, yugi gradually keeping up, until eventually even surpassed the pharaoh - their last duel can be up to debate tho. but on multiple occasions, yugi also showed the same ability to connect the dots just like the pharaoh. they both figured out something the other overlooked. this intelligence is also essential to deck and strategy building, as well as deciding moves in actual duels. If we talk about overcoming seemingly impossible odds (which I 100% agree that it should be one of the criteria), the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and even Jaden, all had displayed it on screen. for argument's sake, Yugi Muto had a clear on-screen duel where he overcame the impossible in the Dark Side of Dimension, with his infinite loop. the duel after that was almost his (at least in my opinion), but he passed out before he made the final move, almost identical to how Joey passed out before he could defeat Marik. How he defeated all the 3 divine beasts together in just 1 turn should also count, but one could argue it was because he saw it coming. You still can't deny his strategy building skill tho. and even with fate in his hands, Yugi also overcame that. Oh, and Jaden also overcame "seemingly" impossible odds sometimes. He also turned the unbreakable board against the opponent, same thing happened to all the 4 protagonists of the 3 series. I will not say who is better than who. But i believe every one the 4 of these duelists, the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and Jaden, deserves a spot in S tier Kaiba Seto is held back by his massive ego, sadly. he will never change and we love him for that. He is right where he belongs in A tier

@@bluebearie7230 now this, this is beautiful

As much as I'd like to disagree and say Joey is also one of them, I really can't. Even though he doesn't have any special powers, a lot of his deck is luck-based. Crow on the other hand (as far as I know) is also the best when it comes to actual skill. Haven't watched 5D's all the way through, but the fact that he stood up to a God card with only 50 LP is impressive.

Kaiba not being in S when the few times he lost he was being cheated out of a win and zarc, the guy who bodied most of the people in A tier and didn't even lose because he got unfused being in B is a sin

@@MugenEclipse didn’t Kaiba literally got cheated out of a loss from Aigami and Yugi granted that’s in DSOD

@@Christ_the_only_way ikr

I heavily relate

Just watch GX and 5D's those two along with the original are the best

It was Yugi, Kaiba, Joey, Aster then Jesse Anderson

He didn't say strongest, at least he didn't in the dubbed idk about subbed. He said, in the dubbed, his top 5 favorite duelists. Yes, Yugi and Seto are 2 of the strongest duelists, and Joey presumably got better after the series because he continued dueling and is considered world class in GX. But im guessing Yugi is his #1 because he's the king of games and pretty much the savior of the world at this point in time when Pegasus said this, Seto is probably his #2 because of the brutality and just overall mastery of the game, not to mention Kaiba created a Duel academy. Joey i can see him being #3 because of his duel style, using luck to his advantage to boost his skill, making him recognized as world class, even though Kaiba will never admit it he probably recognizes Joey as at least A tier as well. And Jessie he made the list because of his connection to the Crystal Beasts.

He should be S tier. Didn’t he defeat an army of patrol man in the synchro single handily when they attempted to capture him. Plus he beat an impossible duel against Roget with his infinite loop, constantly defeating him over and over again.

Yuya also never lost technically, He lost when controlled by Yuto or when partially controlled by Zarc, meaning he either wasnt in control, or wasnt able to fully control himself

Judai from 4th season must be S tier like you said. He was a beast in terms of dueling. Add his natural ability plus the power of the supreme king and then the support of Yubel (Only villain in Ygo franchise that was never defeated).

I also recall Atem saying Joey is the real King of Games in the unseen duel they had before Atem left to the afterlife.

I agree that he should be A-tier but please don't suggest he's as good as Kaiba/Yugi. Kaiba consistently kicks his ass without being pushed too far and Joey has a far inferior track record (also GTFO with your luck-based deck).

@@Bragglord Aight, but he out-dueled Marik at the end of the battle city arc. The only reason he losed to him is because he collapsed mid duel and had to forfeit . So with that being said he's had his share of bad luck as well to compensate for his share of good luck. Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling but Joey can put up somewhat of a formidable duel against them. (i.e. duelist kingdom (joey vs Yugi). Also in yugioh Gx Pegasus states that Joey Wheeler is in his top 5 duelist of all time based on pure raw talent, and he only rivals Yugi and Kaiba.

@@Diegoxo9 once again, no, he didn't 'out-duel' him because Marik was never trying to beat him in the first place in the conventional sense. He collapsed mid-duel because that was Marik's whole plan, to ruin his soul (but he underestimated Joey- he thought it would instantly drop him but Joey was even able to retain consciousness). So no, it wasn't 'bad luck'. 'Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling'. So...? They're better, end of. I'm not saying he's miles below them but he's not even on their level.

Pegasus has never even seen a lot of the other characters on this list in action (e.g. Z-ONE, Yusei, Marik). 2. Luck =/= skill. Joey's deck is largely luck-based. 3. If Pegasus said that in GX, then it's possible (and likely) that Joey got much better in later years.

@@Bragglord Ok but I'm saying Joey is in that conversation. Of course Yugi and Kaiba are the legendary premiere duelist but he's in that conversation. You could compare this Michael Jordan vs LeBron vs Kobe. Joey would be Kobe in that sense. Also yeah joey had a luck-based deck,whatever, but thing is though he makes good decision and his gambles pay off. His high risk high reward style of dueling has helped him pull off some crazy duels. And some of it is plot armor but if that is you're main concern than you have to admit that Yugi and Kaiba are culprits of that too.

Straight up S I mean all the final villains should be at least A

He was kinda portrayed as the ultimate duelist, by a stupid margin he would have been in S

Also did he really lose at all? He got split into his 4 forms mid duel, surely that's a dnf

I Know and he only loses because 4 Cards were SPECIFICALY made to beat HIM; which is the only way they beat him

@@missingno.9532 I think it was as well

keith pate and he based his opinion on the latest version of Yugi too...definitely S tier. Yugi still has the king of games title

Atem clearly threw the game. Dark Side of Dimensions is a clear indication of who’s superior. Yugi is good, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Atem.

If you really think that yugi is better than atem then you should really get help. Nobody in their right mind would even consider little Yugioh anything above A tier he isn’t better than kaiba not even close.

keith pate Atem gave him everything

@@ExclusivePokeLife Actually he beat Kaiba fair and square with a deck of his design. He might not have mystical powers but as a duelist he is S tier. Atem has plot armor, Yugi actually beat him with logic and anticipating and countering his strategies.

Nope. They just say he believes in his deck and is lucky. While in Atem's case its an actual power.

Negative Jaden has some of the most on screen loses (Zane,kaibaman,syrus,aster, and most likely Yugi)

Jaden was also winning against yugi muto at his peak and it's not even 100% clear whether yami beat him or not.

And even S+

True. He did cheat,but so did pharoah so,yeah. He should be s minus tier. Only person to ever beat pharoah without cheating is kaiba

Worst filler character ever

@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 Yugi didn't cheat thoe. The heart of the cars isn't cheating and that is a fact

@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 So yeah, the pharoah never cheated, fact

Yu gi beat Rafael in the remacht

Jaden in S tier that simple

yami is so overrated all of the other protagonists would kick his ass lets be real because all the archetypes just got better

@@shrektheogre2853 a friendly reminder that Yami can summon the 3 Egyptian gods in one turn and can draw all 5 exodia cards in his starting hand.

@@jotarokujo2251 thats because plot armor and cheating

@@jotarokujo2251 just cause hes the original protagonist doesnt mean hes the strongest

In the anime, Kaiba acknowledges Yugi as being as strong as if not stronger than himself, as he was present during the Ceremonial Battle, instead of just appearing afterwards to stare at them over a sand dune after the battle was finished.

I was about to reply that too, I'm pretty sure I recall Kaiba declaring that little Yugi truly deserved the title King of Games during that duel.

Kaiba has actually admitted that not only atem but also yugi are better than him . their they only 2 duelist that he acknowledged specially atem his obsessed with him lol

@@lexbryant4564 Kaiba's declaration actually confuses a lot of people. Because, it differs between the manga and the anime. In the anime, he aknowledges little yugi as worthy of being king of games, but in the manga he doesn't, and in fact he leaves before the end of the final duel. In fact, Kaiba's obsession with bringing back the pharaoh in the movie is because the movie actually follows the manga storyline, not the anime. He was so obsessed because he thought he didn't have anyone as a rival, and he wanted to bring back Atem at all costs. If he had aknowledged yugi, the movie wouldn't make sense, because his actual rival from that point on would have been little yugi instead of Atem if it followed the anime.

Pikachu jaden technically beat yami when that kid stole his deck and yami played through the kid and jaden won

It's Creature Yami wasn’t playing through that guy (his name was Dimitri). Which is why Dimitri lost, as he was just copying Yugi. So he couldn’t use Yugi’s deck with the same ability that Yugi/Yami could.

Pikachu Ik the dude did act like the people who’s decks he was using but I thought he wasn’t actually copying him but yami was playing threw him in that episode although I could have misinterpreted that part

Didn’t zarc only lose against the cards specifically designed to defeat him?

@@REALCreature um, what? Implying that kid was as good as Yami, I don't think so.

I would put kaiba and kite in s tier

I can fix that problem he in C pretty strong by ZEXAL standards his deck revolves around XYZ so its pretty weak and his character development is garbage no lie like he put his sons in a coma then changes because Yuma grabbed his hands people can say it's more complex but nah it really ain't

I disagree

No way

Darkskin Gaming HD and that Boy with the pendel deck

What character development has Yusei ever gotten? Let's not get delusional, o get liking Yusei as a character. But he is the *MOST UNDEVELOPED* main characfer in Yugioh, he get's no development and is a below average character

BoltMix because Yusei is a flat character who’s Journey is centered around him changing the world and others around him through his beliefs.

Rafael isn’t s low a at most

Lol if a deck is better, can you truly say a duelist is better?
