วีดีโอ

I would like to see a comp with Rhymestyle roasting Sam instead of SeeReax, it’s nowhere near as much content but it’s still funny.

In the dub, they changed his father to "missing" instead of dead, but that actually works better because of what actually happened to him

It Didn't Stop Konami from Printing Tons of Cyber Support... Where is my Cyber Orge Support

A strong character makes me want to watch the show now

This is an interesting take on Ryo. And I like that he HAD the potential to be a completely arrogant jerk at the beginning, but was too grounded to go that route. He was competitive and sought power, but cared for his friends and his brother, even if we wasn't always so good with showing that to the latter. Judai only tied with him because he was psyched out. It's obvious that by the end of Season 1, he was stronger than Ryo. Now I almost wonder if his loss to Judai would have affected, or even PREVENTED his turn into Hell Kaiser in Season 2. On the one hand, he went dark (Somewhat, it's more like Robby joining Cobra Kai in S3 and S4 of Cobra Kai.) because he kept losing....but what if he would have had the prospect of facing Judai again keeping him from going dark? This would have been a loss to someone he RESPECTED, instead of a random pro duelist or a bad guy/girl like Tsubaki. IDK..... Samejima.....I partly blame him for how he turned out. He gave Ryo the wrong idea about what it means to be a duelist and put power and dominance before everything. And by proxy, he influenced the rift between the Marafuji brothers that was there for so long and was renewed for a while. I ALSO blame him for Judai's fall into darkness and Duel Academia being endangered in Season 3. He wanted to be the best and have the best and for the same for his students, but he was blind to the points where that becomes a detriment, and he always learned his lesson too late. You would at least almost think Ryo would have been a wake up call for him, and while Ryo DID choose to become Hell Kaiser in the end, (at least in the English Dub) he doesn't take a look at HIMSELF, and HIS contributions to the fall and simply writes it off as him choosing a/the bad path. He doesn't learn in time to stop Yubel, Martin, and Cobra from wreaking havoc on Duel Academia in Season 3. He doesn't even learn from BOTH the times his students go into the other dimension. It's just business as usual in Season 4. And in at least that way, he's worse than Chronos. Even HE in Season 1 knew power and prestige weren't everything. He put himself on the line for the sake of ALL of the Academia's students. INCLUDING the likes of Judai, Sho, and Hayato against Tsubaki. And Napoleon even quits the Academia to patch things up with Martin. But Ryo, as long and painful as the journey was, did what his master couldn't. Looked past their flawed philosophy and became better. On a side note, I wish Edo would have fought Johan that first time instead of Ryo. And they duel in the other dimension only.

Hell Kaiser is kinda like Nate from Ted Lasso. He made some bad decisions, but he was a fully fledged person with a good side and loved ones through all of it, and that allowed him to come back in a way that didn't undo the harsher person he became, but become a more mature version of it.

He was so used to being #1 at school. And when stepped into the real world 🌍, he fell apart and became pure evil, desperate, and heartless. Plus, he wasn't a good brother from the beginning. I never did like him. Then I started to HATE him! Now I like to see him lose.

Smedo smoenix

“somethings happening too me… i think im not giving a fxck” 😂😂😂😂

Tbh a lot of GX characters not named Jaden are failures.

Im i missing something rio is still alive his brother inherited cd deck is this filler? Lol

0:56 Slight correction. Atem didn't lose to Rafael because of the Orichalcos, the explanation of it controlling people who use it was something created by 4kids. In the Japanese dub Atem just lost, his first legitimate loss in the series up to that point. That's what made this loss such a powerful moment, not only did Atem succumb to his own fear of losing but he lost a major duel with real stakes. This arc is not officially canon that's true but I can't imagine Yu-Gi-Oh without it, Atems arc to me doesn't feel complete without it.

If I were stuck floating in a hopeless hellscape and JUDAI was the guy trying to pull me out of it? I’d jump I to the freaking void.

Now this should be renamed to Seereax cooks a YCS champion 😂

I don’t like Sam enough to watch him (can tell I’d find him insufferable just from this) but I love these vids lol

58:34 I’d say that hand is pretty 😅 bad.

6:11

Thanks for the edit on the Chronos duel, i started tearing up when i remember all my feelings watching that duel and how much i love these characters

This is a very informative retrospective look at Ryo Marufuji's character development throughout Yu-Gi-Oh GX. He really was considered the best duelist of Duel Academy. Even when graduating, Judai could only manage a tie after losing to Ryo in their first duel. It was when Ryo lost to Edo Phoenix that his status as the best in Duel Academy didn't matter. It sadly made sense for Ryo to go down his dark path during season 2. In season 3, Ryo even goes down a different path due to the consequences of the dark path he chose in season 2. He's slowly dying and wants one last duel to truly push his limits. His duel with Yubel will go down in GX as Ryo's best duel and his peak as a duelist. While I'm glad Ryo survived to reach season 4, and his desire to make his own pro league makes sense for his character arc, his best moment will always be his duel with Yubel.

Zane: " Don't you ever call me failure. If the show would of gave me far better cards I wouldn't of lost."

I don’t want to get nit picky for when it comes to a main character losing without shenanigans. Technically didn’t Atem lose to Yugi before the series end of Duelmonsters in a fair duel? Does that count?

He reminds me of those popular high school jocks who get told they're the best football player the school has ever seen but are set up for failure because as soon as they are in the national matches they flop because they're not truly the all stars

“As long as I feel the shine of this moment, I won’t go quietly into deaths darkness” is a crazy hard line

Still the darkest arc and best

so wonderful, just beautiful...

Top 10 strongest GX Duelists 1/2/3. - prime Hell Kaiser/Yubel/S4 Judai 4. Darkness 5. Fujiwara 6. Amon 7. O'Brian 8. Johan 9. Saiou 10. Trueman

Prime Hell Kaiser (late S2 and early S3) is arguably the strongest in Gx, he is in top 3 in any case. Only forced plot and nerfs could beat him..

He literally fell from grace

very well doen video my friend. Just so touching at the end,

I am saying it again Crow>zane Crow is the real Chad here he cares about different people than himself He rather dies for the poor to live and he has a great deck btw he was supposed to be a dark signer because of the final monster of rex goodwin Now if someone still thinks crow is the real g in arc v he sacrifices himself so that the rest of xuyas friends can continue to break trough crow was basically saving i think Jack was it or yuya or gong from getting turned into a card Wich is really great Let's not forget that he's the only one who wants to help the poor people of satilite Wich is why he wants to create the bridge

I really want to watch this but I don't think I can take a 15 minute loop of the Master Duel music in the background

Bro peaked too soon

One quick correction: Atem losing to Raphael was not due to the Seal of Orichalcos. In fact him playing the Seal was the only thing that allowed him to survive a few more turns, since he was about to lose cleanly if he DIDN'T play it. The entire point of that duel was adressing Atem's biggest flaw. The one that lead to him almost killing Kaiba: He'd rather use dark magic than actually accept a loss. Something the dub tried to whitewash into "The seal did it." As for it not being canon: It's not canon to the manga timeline, but it IS canon to the anime timeline which the GX anime follows (Pegasus is alive, Season 2 has them use the anime only Virtual World machine, ect)

I hate that Camula duel. Such a cheap way for the writers to bench Ryu and focus on Judai.

Leave that man alone, he was suffering chest pains due to card games

Zane 💙🖤

It's a shame we never got that Zane Aster rematch especially since he didn't even beat him with the destiny heros. Although if I appreciate they never went in the direction of a 'revenge duel'.

His arc is always one that resonated with me, and I also felt like I’d preferred the “old” Zane who played in Graduation Match up to when he had to face the underground duel. It was tough to see him being negative towards respect play, his brother, and his cards if it could get him closer to victory. It seemed like the show was never very good at thinking the best way to respect an opponent is to go all out. Cyber Dragons were sleek state of the art machines that broke the mold in a lot of ways that fought to keep up throughout the years to follow. Along with HERO, Zane support has understandably been some of the most prevalent after the series had ended. Like many I don’t love the addition of Zane in the fourth season when he could have succumbed to his heart situation, but I do wish he was in Arc-V besides a name written on a chalkboard.

remember when he straight up died in the 4kids version? and cause there is no final season he never came back? yeah very kid friendly

Why Adrian hasn’t been added to duel links is a crime to be honest.

lol none of GX characters accomplish anything great. Jaden didnt become the king of games but just a wanderer insterested in duel monster spirits, Zane wants to create a pro league but pretty sure it wont go anywhere, Bastion didnt even graduate and spends time in another dimension with his amazoness girlfriend, Alexis became the new Crowler. Only Chazz will become a pro (only because Aster offered him an internship) and Syrus will be slowed down by his failed big bro. The Duel academy is a scam 😢

OMG Shadow music. I just realized. Because Cyber-Cyberdark. rofl

It'd be more suitable to use duel links or GX video game osts in this than MD. Good nostalgic pairing you know.

That's why i hate those silly transfer students from season 3. They stole the time of main characters like sho (Syrus) who should have had development in season 3, to make season 4 (his duel against the Jinzo guy) more believable and not feel rushed. Screw jesse, Axel and Jim🤬

THE MOST MEMORABLE CHARACTER IS ACTUALLY DR CROWLER MY FRIEND zane was washed up, he started losing after he went out of the academy, that means that everyone on that academy was dogshit at the game (except judai) can you believe this shit? i wish they did a better job with him, the cyberdark cards are lame, the GIGACHAD CYBER DRAGON CARDS will never be replaced

Best character in the entire 6 generations.

zane's arc is such a mood 💀

... Okay, I don't get it. Ryo is a prodigy and undefeated in Duel Academy. Then he gets a 10-loss losing streak once he hits the pro leagues. He's ostensibly the best student Duel Academy has to offer. Is this, like, the Alola Region of the Dueling World where they just suck compared to the rest of the world? That doesn't exactly hold up, what with Kaiba being the founder. And then all the students beating the Pros during the GX tournament. Ryo's story is like the embodiment of the writers saying "So he was undefeated in Duel Academy and just loses nonstop once dueling anyone else outside of it?" "That's what we're going with, yeah."

Dude!!! He is no failure. HE IS MY HERO And my role model. Man took on a possessed dude possessing powers of rainbows and made the Femboy spirit shudder in fear. He once put a shock colour on his brother to prove a point and meant it. Then kindly gave his GX medal away. Man is a hero, My hero and no failure. His wilding of the machines to enhance dragon forms is soo elgant. his style is power and puts his entire soul. Discarding an entire deck worth if cards because. Why stop when you can go all the way. ZANE deserves better then TO BE TREATED THIS WAY!!! AND SO DOES HIS CARDS.
