That feel when Yuma knows that a tomato is a fruit but Dylan doesn’t.

"She runs into the Judai buzzsaw" A quote I wasn't expecting, but it was amusing nonetheless

A real life story about my experience with Yuma VS Tomato dude: I had exactly the same problem as Yuma as a child when watching the episode for a very first time. I HATED tomatoes from the bottom of my soul. But seeing Yuma overcoming his fear of tomatoes and eating one gave me the courage to eat one myself. And ever since that day i eat tomatoes on the table. And just for that reason, i love the duel.

Bro imagine Syrus sneaking into the castle to duel Camula, his friends realizing he’s gone and rush to save him, only to get there and see Syrus winning the duel.

Its so bizarre how weirdly Luke was written in the early stretches of the series, like not taking duels seriously... Because in later arcs, he basically treats all duels a lot more seriously, even when he tries NOT to do so...

I think aki should’ve beaten at least 1 team unicorn member instead of yusei beating all 3. This could’ve been a good arc for aki and then she has a duel against sherry for their “rivalry”. I despise the tomato duel, how can you make your own rules for an official tournament?!

As a Zane Stan I hated his loss to the vampire duelist but it would’ve been so satisfying seeing Syrus avenge him. Also I love Soulburner but I absolutely agree that he didn’t need to beat Blue Girl

TLDR Akiza should have been "allowed" to beat Andre, and either Team 5D's should have lost their first match and the tournament should have been double elimination, or Yusei should have won with the last card in his deck. The end of that team 5D's vs Team Unicorn duel will never not annoy the hell out of me. They spent weeks studying and assembling the anti-power deck for a situation like this, watched tape on team 5D's for 3 weeks, setup the run-in on the practice track, all to get into a situation where they could outnumber team 5D's and deck Yusei out, even talking about how they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Then like a f'ing moron Jean just attacks when he has the win locked up if he just does nothing. If they wanted Yusei to win, they should have just had him win with his very last card like Yugi did against Leon when he had to get down to one card in deck to get rid of the Golden Castle of Stromberg. About the only thing they sort of got right is that Akiza beats Andrei to the first turn, possibly because the overboost system that he used to ensure he got the first turn of the duel also lowered his max speed, but of course the episode where Aki starts to duel doesn't mention that. Hell, they don't even let Aki beat Andrei, which they really should have, since she wasn't somebody that they had likely watched tape on or scouted in any way. They likely watched tape on Yusei, Jack, and Crow for obvious reasons. So Crow's last minute injury and subsequent replacement should have thrown a bit of a wrench in their preparation, in theory.

"Flip Turner on crack!" Hall of fame line right there Dylan, nice one!

One duel I really hate in the same reasons you mentioned for Jaden vs Camula is Jaden vs White Alexis. Really good duel, but I really feel that Chazz should've been the one to take care of that. Atticus and everyone else calling him out for being the one who brainwashed her is honestly really hypocritical when no one ever calls Atticus out for the things he did as Nightshroud.

The reason why kite and aster had to intervene was to waste Yugo’s backrow ughhhhh!!!

I REALLY hated that duel with team unicorn. It made Jack and Akiza look too reliant on Yusei.

Problem with Yuri vs Yugo was Kaito and Edo picking up the "wrong" opponent

What makes yugo vs yuri duel more annoying and I’m a huge yugo fan and have a speedroid deck is that aster and kaito made yugo lose so many resources. Like man he could have made a come back with those cards against yuri

One thing you forgot to mention in the soulburner duel is his total plot device card that stopped him taking burn damage. Specifically burn damage of 300 or less because I guess the writer's realized 200 or less would've been too obvious.

Petition for Johnny Steps to be the next Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist. He'll have his catch phrase "Step it up" and will randomly break dance throughout the duels (even when losing). It will be a 200 episode prequel leading up to his duel with Yugi.

I feel the Team Unicorn duel either should have ended in a loss or, if Team 5Ds win, should have played out entirely different. I get having Jack lose the first round to build tension, and the way Unicorn utilized the rules of the tournament to form a collective strategy and take advantage of the format was great (the whole arc did a good job of this), but was it really necessary to have Aki lose right after and make Yusei the complete breadwinner? I get it, Yusei is one of the best duelists in the franchise, and him taking on a whole team by himself is epic. But if that shouldn't be the premise of the FIRST team based duel, because it undermines the whole concept. Aki should have at least knocked off their first opponent and roughed up the second a bit.

I like the steps duel... for the simple reason that atem basically goes "bitch, read your cards" at one point

The team unicorn duel is even more infuriating because Yusei misplayed. He could have Synchro summoned Junk Archer and used it's banishment effect to clear Jean's field for game. But because me made a bad play they had to bs it.

I am so happy to hear that I'm not the only one who hates Soulburner vs Blue Girl, that single duel is what made me start to just hate Soulburner as a character because it just felt like now that they have Soulburner they do not care about anyone else, and then this duel having him pull a win out of no where when he was getting beaten and outskilled just nailed the coffin shut for me, I despise this duel.

The thing with the Camula duel is that Cyrus didn't have a Spirit Key, So why would Camula agree to duel him? Retrieving them was her whole mission.

For the Yugo vs Yuri duel I agree but what I also hated the most was that why tf are they trying to stop Yugo instead of teaming up and assaulting Yuri? Not only that! Starving Venom is supposed to have his materials on the field and in the Debut episode in the fusion dimension of him fighting 5 rebels he fusion summons it correctly but in this duel he can fusion summon it from the hand!? Talk about rushed. But I know for convient sake they would never take down Yuri because of the writing :/

Seeing VRAINS in a new Dylan video thumbnail: *happy* Reading the title: Hello darkness my old friend There's only one VRAINS duel on the list: *happy once more*

Yusei is truly a professional Gaslighter confirmed

I actually really liked your 9 and 10. For number 10, I loved the fact that Johnny just quit after he realized he was facing the king of games. It felt so real to me, haha. He was doing pretty well too, but the second he learned who his opponent was he just gave up and it was the kind of thing I always kinda wanted to see as a kid, yugi isn’t just an icon, but his reputation is intimidating and it was so cool to see it on screen for once. For number nine, it absolutely blew my mind to see shining flare wingman for the first time, it was the coolest moment for me. After seeing Camula being not only so threatening but so overpowered, she was one of the only people who could be a threat outside the confines of the game and beating not only crowler but Zane, who’s always felt like the strongest duelist in the franchise, made it so much more tense to see who would beat her. The way they brought up the medallion was such a shining moment to me, I thought it was such a great moment to me and then with the duel ending with even Camula being surprised at Jaden’s new monster who she didn’t even know existed despite spying on him, it’s always been a highlight for me.

The Battle Beast duel was really something else. On top of that: If that dude physically would have crippled me, then i would have quit entirely. Would i say if i was one of the participants in that duel.

"End your damn turn" I'm dying, hahahaha.

I don’t think Soulburner vs blue girl was completely unnecessary as a duel but sb winning was like he didn’t need it even if flame was at stake maybe sb could’ve said something like flame is my best friend please don’t take him which leads Aoi to remember Miyu and kinda start hee own journey to reunite with her and since she knows what’s it’s like to lose a dear friend she doesn’t take flame and grows more naturally into blue maiden

My biggest problem with the Team 5ds/Unicorn duel is that there were no cons to losing. We see Team Unicorn dueling Team Catastrophe in the next episode meaning there weren't any knockouts at that stage of the tournament. 5ds losing could've been a great learning experience for the team as a whole and would justify them winning the rest of the duels as they would need to in order to progress. That being said, I'm sure Yusei would have some out to deck destruction residing in his GY.

Team unicorn made a deck to specifically beat Jack, there is no reason why that deck should have beaten Aki. It’s fine that Jack lost to create drama for the duel and to make him doubt himself before he got scar red nova dragon to build his character but there was no reason for Aki to lose. They treated Aki as bad duelist that Team unicorn didn’t have to worry about and it would have been cool to see their plan to beat Team 5ds fail because they underestimated Aki. Considering this is her only WRGP duel she should’ve won at least one person if not two. The duel results should have been Andre beats Jack (Jack still gets the scene where he pushes the duel runner), Aki beats Andre, Aki beats Breo, Jean beats Aki, and Yusei beats Jean with dragon knight draco. I gave Aki two wins because this is her only WRGP duel and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t duel again til she and crow duel sherry in the final arc.

Ofc the Battle Beast duels would be number 1 lol. Soulburner vs Blue Girl could've easily ended in BG winning but without her taking Flame. I mean, Sevens also managed to give Roa the win when he dueled Asana even though Asana was in the right - and in the end, Roa apologizes to her and says the way he (and the others) acted wasn't okay. And speaking of Sevens: While I understand why you didn't like Luke vs Yuga r3 (it ended wholesome but overall, unnecessary loss for Yuga), I think you're too harsh on the situation at the end of the Luke vs Chevelle/Doverap duel. I'm not sure why you just point out Luke for acting kinda "douchy" when *nobody* cared to give any attention to Chevelle and Doverap then, not even Yuga. And I think those two having a touching moment wasn't for the others to witness anyway.

That review graph for Arc-V was really interesting. Now I'm curious if the other shows have an equivalent. Where can I find them?

The Johnny Steps duel was literally one of the best Abridged episodes of all time, so i’m really thankful for it 😁

I agree with the list. I would also add: Yugi vs Ghost Kaiba - The duel had way too many interferences with Kaiba hacking his own BEWD and lasted too long Jaden vs Tennis Guy - Aside from the humor this duel had nothing going for it and would have made more sense if Alexis dueled him instead Yusei vs School Teacher - Yusei doesn't even attend the school and yet they ask him to save the day. Why not have Aki duel him instead who is an actual student Alexis vs Yuri - This duel was showing off the Ancient Gear structure deck way too much and made Alexis look weak, and that while Alexis needed more duels and screen time

I actually can excuse the Team Unicorn duel, since it might be a matter of both pride and mind games, what I didn't like though was how Yusei basically carried the whole team duel though, anyway, for me... most of the duels I disliked was these duels where I felt like the MC had several duels/wins in a row (which is why I didn't like GX S2 and VRAINS S1 much), albeit I seriously disliked Aoi vs Specter, since it honestly felt like Aoi deserved the win, so havin' Specter do this complete unexpected move at S1 ruined it big times for me (and tbh, Specter's character development felt weird for me too), Yuri vs Yugo was also a big dislike for me, especially with how much they hyped it up

Looking back on it, a lot of Vrains Duels had the issue of a character going up against another character who you obviously know is just covered in Plot Armor, which I hate. Aoi vs Spectre and Go vs AI are two terrible duels to come to my mind, especially with the second one cause they build up how much Go has grown as a character since before by having him return to using his Gouki Deck... and he went up against AI, who you know couldn't lose cause that would end the whole arc right there.

Notes from an Ancient Gear Mechanic; Hey gang! Here's my hot take on these.... 10) I personally agree with you. Tea(or Anzu if you prefer) SHOULD have dueled him.... 9) GX had a bad habit of "Protag Stank" and Jaden is the prime example of it ... 8) meh. I unfortunately haven't watched Rush so I couldn't say anything.... 7) Again, 5D's still had that "Protag Stank" going on..... 6) I like the idea of the quiz deck, but I agree about the Character.... 5) Again, haven't seen Sevens so I can't say.... 4) I personally despise the Tomato guy. The Deck was weird and the Character was even weirder ... 3) I hated this game. Blue Girl HAD it and it tick's me off how they protected Soulburner.... 2) Now I actually LIKE the Predaplant Archetype and think it's a pretty decent Plant Fusion Deck. I Despise how they ignored this Duel... 1) TBF, I like the Gladiator Beasts. I just think the Battle Beast is a wasted character that could've been better used.... Pilot Trevelyan signing off, Game Over!

Great video! I had an idea if you want it. Top 10 one off duelists The most memorable duelists who after they lost they were gone Some examples PaniK, the Clock Guy from 5ds, the Tomato Guy from Zexal, Most of GX… Idk I think it could really fun.

What I personally hated about the duel between Soulburner and Blue Girl, is that it seemed like Takeru needed to show that he was strong BUT at the cost of throwing away the characters they developed in the first season. Go and Aoi were treated horribly in the rest of the Vrains, and that's why I don't like Soulburner's character, because unlike Crow or Shark he didn't have to work to earn his place. Crow against bohmer in 5ds knowing that he was not a signer, and Shark being able to control a number at will. Then both were "rewarded" Crow becoming a signer and Shark turning out to be a Barian. But Soulburner received a visit from Flame and was like: "I'm special, enjoy"

More rant type content!! I am still craving for more too

Yugi vs Kaiba in the semi finals of Battle City is my least favorite from Duel Monsters. It wasn’t bad, but it was SO DAMN LONG. Every time there’s some sort of advantage, some sort of leeway, the other immediately counters and then there’s just MORE. I know it’s important, but one of the longest duels in the franchise. The main villain of the arc doesn’t even get that!

Man, I was so obsessed with YuGiOh Arc V when it was airing, but Jesus, there are A LOT of duels from Arc V that would've made this list for me personally. Most filler duels I find inoffensive, but the ones that happen during a tense moment, where you know the focus should be somewhere else, or the duels where the MC gets the limelight when it should belong to the supporting cast are pretty frustrating. I think the duels I hate the most is when a character loses from a blatant misplay.

I think the only reason Jaden won against Camula was because his Shadow Charm negated hers. Otherwise, she would have kept trolling them with sacrificing their own.

The worst example of Judai getting undeserved wins, is season 2 building up Aster as the main character destined to save Sartorius, all throughout its run, only for Judai to take his win and spotlight at the last moment. Only reason I didn't drop GX after that, is the Yubel tease in the next episode.

For me, the most hated duel in the franchise is cat chan vs dog chan, because while tetsuo an class represent were eliminated by almost dying against IV, tokonusuke by being a cheatter, she lost to a dog,and he gave all her heart pieces for free.

I feel like Sho would never have dueled Camula because he wasn't a "key keeper" I'd have liked to have seen personally Zane win and then lose in a shortened on screen duel that hides Amnael's identity.

In defense of the Team Unicorn duel, Ithink the problem with it is, that everyone thinks of it in terms of real TCG. In real Yu-Gi-Oh, there are so many cards that can win you the duel in your opponents battle phase, but very few cards that can save you from decking out. But this is not the case in the anime. In the anime, everyone has plenty of very situational cards all the time. So the guy thinking Yusei might have a method to save himself from decking out (reshuffle graveyard cards to deck somehow etc) and attacking to make sure is not that far fetched. So if he ended his turn and Yusei used a card like that and got another turn, it would be a big come back chance. But if he attacks, even if Yusei stops the attack, he would still deck out. It is like attacking from two fronts. He just couldn't have known Yusei had a way to win with his attack. Plus I think Yusei kinda used a Poker strategy and bluffed, and Yusei's confidence made him think he could prevent the deckout.

The team unicorn duel is actually one of my favorites. It has one of the few moments in any of the anime that makes me tear up, that being aki's defeat and breakdown before being supported by her father and the crowd, it's genuinely touching. The ending doesn't bother me as much when you consider team 5d's handicap in jack's crash. I view the ending as unicorn sorta throwing them a bone out of respect.

My least favorite is definitely Yugo vs. Yuri, it’s actually amazing how they manage to do everything wrong in that duel. After all the hype, we don’t really see much action. Kaito and Edo interfere and effectively help Yuri win, making them look like idiots. The duel did nothing for Yugo or Yuri but made the other 2 look worse, kind of impressive actually.

The Team Unicorn duel was so untenably stupid because it highlights the major disconnect between the way the game is played in the anime vs real life. For the most part, the show relies more heavily on battle interactions to progress the duels. This made sense in the beginning, because options were very limited during the DM and GX eras, and you were almost always going to win by running down the opponent's field, and using backrow support to disrupt their heavy hitter. However, from 5D's onward, the game had begun changing dramatically, and the ways in which a person could achieve victory began to become more varied. The horned-beast deck that team Unicorn used was expressly designed to mill out the opponent, and punish decks that made aggressive plays, which was supposed to demonstrate that these guys were geniuses at counteractive deck building - similar to Bastion vs. Jaden, but on a bigger scale. Nobody would normally fault you for making a deck that not only goes against the grain, but actively tries to take advantage of common weaknesses in the most common pays those decks normally make. The key word being "normally." The problem is that the protagonist(s) hold on deeply to this philosophy that "the only way to win is with a clash of convictions," which doesn't make any sense when alternative win conditions are very valid. Even more ironic was that this duel also acted as a sort of microcosm of the season as a whole; the cast's normal way of dueling was ineffective in the face of their newest opponents, and they would have to adapt to survive... only for the solution to be doing what they were doing already, just... bigger. Can't synchro? Make bigger synchro! Battle causes the player more damage than the opponent? Then ask your technical opponent to commit to a battle strategy their deck wasn't made for, so that they hurt themselves and you can make the plays they were actively avoiding letting you make in the first place. It was such an odd moment where the writing really showed its shortcomings, and is the reason why it probably sits as the duel that I objectively hated the most in the series.

Team Unicorn defeating Team 5Ds would have not only taught them a lesson about Team cohesion, but them losing to Team Catastrophe later would have upped the stakes when 5Ds later duels them.

I actually do like the finale of Yusei vs. Team Unicorn because it shows Yusei being clever, it shows him being able to get into his opponents heads and I do like a protagonist that is tricky like this.

Looks like we'll get a slight bit of salt with our feast today, so I'll weigh in on how these duels can go sour real quick: I don't mind much if a result is predictable; sometimes a howdunnit is as fun as a whodunnit after all. But sometimes a result can favor someone who seems less deserving based on personal preference. Blue Angel snubbed here, and even fan-favorite Shun picking up an odd amount of defeats after his explosive debut. Other big red flags are when enemies seem to pull their ultra plot bias to the point of using supernatural abilities because plot-forbid the costars finishing off an arc baddie. That's Marik from Battle City in a nutshell. It can even make said character appear weaker if they do have to stoop to that. Lastly, there are some pretty filler duels here and there which might have good studio reasons behind their existence but don't add anything to the narrative, probably interrupted it tbh, and likely ended with the protag using their current ace against a total rando. GX early slice of life style is pretty sweet, but the duels can become hit or miss based on if you thought the 1-off was cool or funny. Sometimes my least favorite duels wouldn't be ones I'd change the results of if I could, but usually they are. That's just pretty much like it could've been something to get a bigger reaction which should help the whole promotional end too in the long run.

7:28 I'm actually surprised at that chart. For me, the Synchro Arc was the worst arc in Arc-V, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. I even stopped watching it because it became too unlikable. I'm also surprised the Fusion Arc received the most negative reviews. I heard it was bad, but not THAT bad. Yikes! And as for your Number 3 choice, I didn't exactly hate that duel, I just couldn't watch it. Their moves really messed with my anxiety, so I skipped the duel to see Blue Girl get defeated. Thanks for the details on what happened, it makes sense now

While the Gladiator Beast archetype is fairly popular and well-liked the same cannot be said for its user the Battle Beast, mainly due to wasting six episodes in the Fusion arc on completely pointless duels and not only unimportant character but being Unintentionally Unsympathetic despite being supposedly presented as a Tragic Villain the only things I like about duel between battle beast and yuya and jack atlas was the appearance and usage of GB deck an archetype that introduced in the GX era but they didn't get their anime until arc v anime debut 16:44

Yusei🤝Soulburner🤝Luke Being the best Duelists in their program and considered invincible (undefeated) for a long time.

On one hand I felt the fusion enemies needed more but battle beast wasn’t the best choice

i feel Like the Weakest Duels in GX Were the ones when Judai had to Fight for Asuka mainly the Gameshow and the Tanis Episodes.

I will defend the tomato duel for a few reasons, but the most important one is that back when this show was airing, I looked forward to people changing the subtitles for a very serious episode and replacing it with those from that episode. It was absolute chaos and I loved every bit of it.

Not even done with the video yet but I’m having a good time listening to Dylan rant and going into detail 😂

To be fair for SoulBurner vs Blue Girl. Salamangreats are just that good. In fact, I don’t remember where I heard this, but the writer of the duels whoever they are actually had struggle putting SoulBurner in a losing situation

While I understand the hatred for the blue girl duel, it is very realistic losing all of a sudden from your opponents ass pull 🤣

I personally hated Aoi vs Bohman. I get that he's the main villain and all, but I can't forgive A) her loss through misplay, B) getting so brutally smacked down after building herself up again, and C) not getting what could have been a pretty decent subversion of our expectations if she won.

‘Oh no. Johnny steps is losing…………. And that’s me!!!!,’ -Johnny steps

I would also have 1= Yami Yugi V Rebecca 2= Rebecca V Viviane 3= Sartorius V Aster 4= (Just About Any Fun Dual In GX Involving A Silly One Time Character Gimmicky Character)

Nothing like a Dylan rant to brighten my day

10. Yeah Tea/Anzu should've dueled, would've added too her 100% win streak. 9. I wouldn't have minded if Crowler had won but having Sho take this duel instead is great. 8. Yuga vs Luke 3 really should've been a draw. If you're going to do an arc between a hero losing to a protagonist, round 1 should be a loss, round 2 a draw, then round 3 is the victory. 7. I swear if this was Crow, Jack, and Aki/za and they had lost/win, that would've worked better. 6. Hey at least Flip had a point in Zexal, and yeah Gallop has some weird pacing issues in some of their shows, especially when things were stretched out to two episodes. 5. I prefer Luke vs Pigeon to Luke vs Schrodinger because a) dealing with traps sucks, and b) the jokes and Yuga's message to Luke were much better execute. I get why you don't like it but I kinda have a fondness for it. 4. I can't remember if Yuma earned a Heart Piece from this episode, but I felt for him. I completely forgot about this episode, but it's nice Yuma weren't using Numbers against normal opponents. 3. Yeah Blue Girl should've won that. Nothing against Soulburner though. 2. I remember this rant. Good times. 1. Anyone noticed Calabro in the thumbnail for the Battle Beast video. Huh, I was expecting Yudias vs Ishida , but to be fair that had some fun turns. You should make a list of duels that should be longer or more fleshed out.

Yugioh bombers: The worst duels are duels passed DM

I honestly think that the Jaden vs Camula duel was fine. I would have preferred if Zane defeated her though. Also, even if Syrus were allowed to have a revenge duel with Camula, he would most likely lose because he simply hadn't improved enough as a duelist yet. Plus Camula is after the spirit keys, so she wouldn't have any reason to duel Syrus.

We should go back in time and make Dylan the director of arcv lmao

Ooo this is a good list here I'll throw mine in Duel monsters: kaiba vs noah- this duel was one that personally irked me for it's ending they basically ripped kaibas time for Character development to feed yugi a duel that wasn't his to begin with because it's the big bad bs. Gx- Jaiden vs Dimitri - why bring back such an iconic deck and play with fans emotions by using a copy cat duelist and one that's simply insufferable 5ds- jack atlas vs Carly carmine- this wasn't even a duel it just felt like a long drawn out filler story within a plot just to kill time and not to mention the duel ends in such an unsatisfying way anyway Zexal- Yuma vs flip turner-this duel is straight joey vs weevil done bad and flip is such an annoying character how on earth he was even a threat is beyond me at least weevil played the scummy duelist with the looked down archetype focus more entertainingly Arc v-yuri vs the 5 unamed duelists- I get it yuri is strong but what's the point of this duel it's not plot and if anything it's not even that good of a showing to Yuri's abilities as a duelist Vrains-ai vs aoi and her brother - aoi got so strong went through so much character development and is even teaming with her brother only to be curbstomped in a duel that we all know she has to lose for plot waste of a characters potential Now I haven't watch the two new series so lll leave it there

Revolver Vs Lightning is the duel that I mostly hate in VRAINS series, I hate this BULL. "Lol, I, the biggest brain of all Ignis, I turned the memories of my Lost Child (especially the trumatic memories because he needs to get better in the next season with *magic* instead of therapy) in data and this data in Life Points to win the duel with 1 because I can't give my perfect winrate, even if I gonna to die some seconds later to the Man Bow (Bohman)"

Nitpick one, but Yuma vs Vector at the Sargasso Battlefield for similar reasons to the Team Unicorn duel. Vector was planning to make Yuma deck out and had him down to 1 card left. He ends his turn INSTEAD of using Number 104’s effect to send the top card of your opponent’s deck to the grave. Then boom, backfires on him.

Thankfully for Yuri vs Yugo a youtuber by the name of Yumers fixed that by showing what the Yugo vs Yuri duel should've been with all the build up the anime had, no interfering just both these guys in the zone. Sadly KZfaq screwed Yumers and other YugiTubers over so badly they moved to Odysee with thankfully a shared channel called YugiTuber Resistance almost ALL the fan duel videos that were on KZfaq.

I remember chat wanting to skip the quiz duel during Dylan's arc v watch along lmao

The one I hate the most is Blue Girl Vs. Soulburner. Such a kick in the face to Blue Angel and only exists to make Soulburner seem like the bestest duelist evar

What i hate just as much is that yuto became lart of yuya for the remainder of the seriese mid sesen 1 and yuto bearly got any duels on his own

11:38 didn't expect to get attacked this episode lol. Where's my Magic Cylinder when I need it?

I hate how the Vrains writters really need to make suffer Blue Angel/Girl/Maiden all time

My list is : Joey/Zigfried (felt like Joey was reduced to a novice during the duel and he wasn’t duelling at his best ) Yuma vs Chester Carlyle (Monsters returned to the hand due to not fitting school rules ??) Jaden/Tanya (hated the soul attack and how Jaden purposely took damage just to use it ) Joey/Valon (Actually hated how both duellists just kept hitting each other with their armour cards ) Otes vs Goha Yuga (not because of the actual duel , but the story . Later turned out Otes was the actual villain, yet he lost to GY and faked losing his memories ? . I seriously think the writers changed their mind on Goha Yuga partway through with how he was written beforehand ) 😃😃😃

I personally love Team 5ds vs Team Unicorn barring the ending. It has some really memorable moments like Jack doing all he can to pass to Aki, Aki summoning Stardust Dragon even seeing her turbo duel was great because it showed her character growth, Yusei summoning a fusion monster? In 5ds that was insanely cool. Team Unicorn had fantastic strategy throughout the duel and probably deserved to win but still they were fantastic nonetheless.

My personal pick for a list like this was sawatari vs Yugo. I knew the writing on the wall that sawatari was going to lose especially since he was in a way dueling against two protagonists with both Yugo and Yuya. But the inner actor in me wanted sawatari to win especially when the odds were stacked against him. and he at one point in the duel had the duel to rights but as he was going to play the finale to their duel Yugo ends up getting bailed out not through personal skill or some final card play from his own deck but by the only deus ex action card that was played throughout the entire duel. Same can be said for the gongenzaka vs crow duel on top of the fact that I was a massive fan of gongenzaka. At the very least when it comes to this duel gongenzaka doesn’t use action cards on principle unlike sawatari who never had the chance to use one at all in his duel.

One duel I thought was unnecessarily was Atticus vs Zane in season 2 of gx I thought I would have been cool if instead of him fighting Zane they did a episode or 2 of Atticus challenging Alexis using red eyes to try and save her from the society of light and in his desperation allows himself to be possessed by darkness again. That to me would have been much better

I absolutely hate the Battle Beasts duels because there was no point of them and they wasted an arc when they could’ve done something else.

You see, Sho defeating Camula would be better storywise, but the problem there is that Sho wasn't a Key Keeper so Camula had no reason to duel him!

There was little to hate in the duel against team unicorn. Deck destruction, Yusei against 10000 LP, and Aki's summon of Yusei's ace. It's one of my most favorite duels from 5Ds and im surprised its here. However 5Ds sets the standards high

10. Yeah definitely a duel Tea (yes I'm going with dub names) should do rather then Yugi. 9. While I agree Jaden shouldn't get most of the duels, we get get Shining Flare Wingman which is probably the part in this match that's forgiving. 8. I have not seen this match but I do know Monster Reborn blanked there memories so I think the loss was needed? 7. It wasn't for Yusei being undefeated though. It was so Team 5D's can stay in the WRGP cause if they lose New Domino is basically done. But yeah Jean shouldn't have attacked. 6. Oh yeag Pierre is just really annoying, and his Deck is probably one of the worst Decks I know. 5. It doesn't really bother me on Luke talking like a pidgeon but Pidgetrap shouldn't be a duelist for this match. 4. Oh yeah this match here is also annoying. Tombilly is a useless character, and I know a fanfic where the basket rule acted up everyone's allergies for allergeric reactions with Yuma suffering one from Tomatos. 3. Yeah it's Violet Chimera. I wouldn't call this match a waste but Blue Girl should have won as nothing would really happen had she won. Biggest problem would be Gate of Fire since it's a Trickstar Counter card itself. The studio had decided 'hey she's a girl she loses all the time cause we hate girls'. 2. Probably because Yugo was berserked is why they interrupted. I agree they should duel by themselves, Zarc was close to manifesting so they needed to snap Yugo out of it and we got Dusktopia with us. Though Aster should focus less on Dystopia rather then make it weaker, and also got Greedy Venom. Arc-V is the studio's second jumbled mess otherside VRAINS, and although I like it it does have lots of problems. 1. No one was killed off though. Sealed into cards is very different then committing actual murder. For this Battle Beast, I find him as okay but his Deck the Gladiator Beasts are a very cool, and interesting Deck to use as a homage towards Jaden's use of Contact Fusion with the Neo-Spacians. If the cast was becoming too much they could do better rather then have someone pick them off I agree but Battle Beast is an okay character but hia Deck is really interesting. The duel I hate the most on the entire series is a VRAINS duel between Varis, and Lightning. There both favorite characters of mine, and although itvwas solid at first it gotten botched at the end not cause of Lightning using Jin as a hostage but cause he gotten the idiot ball! Dude use Magnus Dux's effect on xCharge Dragon or not use Eques Flamma's effect when Gloria use it you survive that way!

I like the idea of Bastion taking that vampire lady down. I like the idea of writing Bastion as unstoppable with prep-time. I would've given Bastion a glory moment in which he tries to take down a major antagonist. He would lose to a henchmen but everyone watching it would realize that he had the main antagonists deck figured out. But he loses to a deck he wasn't ready to face. As for team unicorn. They could've made the tournament a double elimination. Its not like Unicorn doesn't lose to team calamity later.

To rub salt in the wound. The tomato guy is voice by DAN GREEN.

Johnny Steps summons The Guitar Her, now Guitar Hero attack using Hangar 18 on Expert Mode, nobody can survive that attack. I really hated that ending for 5D's VS Unicorn, that was so stupid. There was a quiz duel in GX that was pretty fun.

As a Yusei fan boy I have to say I don't like the team Unicorn duel either. Yusei should not have had to carry THAT HARD. I like the concept of them counter Jack and Taking him out. But Aki was the should have beaten the first guy and crippled the second for Yusei. The the final round would have been a relatively even field. I like the premise, I even have a head canon on why Yusei fusion summons. But the execution was very bad

At number 6 duel, only thing I remember that Yuya ask the question wrong and use that trap card to reflect damage to his opponent.

Altough I agree it's outrageous for Jean to make that kind of misplay in his last turn. On positive notes, duel is also about mental battle, and in this one, Jean lose to Yusei by falling to his bluff.

Can I ask, why you sometimes switch from sub and dub names like: Ryo - Zane Aster - edo It just confuses me

Amazing video

That Soulburner Vs Blue Girl duel nearly made me drop Vrains. I only kept watching because I enjoyed your weekly reviews of the show.

It’s funny how Yuma vs tomato is his worst duel but for me that was that got me into yugioh cuz the monster names Yuma summoned was funny lmao but I understand childish but I love Zexal now so it’s a special place for me

Anzu/tea already has the only 100% win rate of the main cast in Yu-Gi-Oh history (unless you don't count ties). She had no need to fight johnny. He had to fight yugi before fighting the real king of games.

Who's Johnny Steps? Exactly!
