@@garygao6072 Kaibaman beat a weaker, less experianced Jaden and Jaden had a worse deck then he did at the end of the series. Jaden at the end of GX would *DECIMATE* Kaiba and Kaiba man
Ur not alone. Just got into duel links and was curious about yugioh. Came across this video but I've only watched the original yugioh and a bit of gx. Have no idea about these other series. Im confused
I've watched the entire duel monster series, some of the first season of gx, little clips of zexal, season 1 and 2 of arc V and none of 5ds, vrains and sevens.
But, is still fan theory and without Konami giving any clear answers that's all it is. That been said, this guys with such a confident rhetoric that I'm never seeing Yu-Gi-Oh! the same again... Until I forget all of this in a couple of weeks.
Yeah i liked arc V and their cards and anime even with the characters i liked replaced it had a tiny bit of heart in it but the series went on for so many episodes making it boring in the later half of the plot with zarc The only anime I don't want to comprehend is Vrains because of how people abuse them in real life spamming 3 link monsters plus a Fused Dragoon as if konami hasn't done much about this So until they do I've lost their trust and the anime was not really my absolute favorite yet it was better than the cards
Yugi started pro dueling to save his Grandfather. Yusei started pro dueling the save himself and his friends from the satellite. Yuma started pro dueling for his dad and Aster. Yuya started pro dueling for his career. Jaden started pro dueling purely because he loved dueling. That's it. No world domination, no saving trapped souls, no visions of the future. Zip. Zilch. Nada. FUN. That's all she wrote. Everyone else had some semblance in their mind that they were going to face trials- Jaden just suddenly had his world turned upside down with no warning and was thrust headfirst into things no kid should have to experience.
Jaden does have bad experiences, like Yubel putting his opponents in a coma when he was a kid but Jaden's parents being neglectful as they were just sent Jaden to a doctor to give him brain operation to forget about Yubel's existence and sent Yubel to space where they met the gentle darkness.
@@UhOhDovah Not just that, everyone’s problems was weighting themselves on Judai’s shoulders since season 1, pushing him into a leadership position that he’s not suited for
I just thought: Maybe not only Jaden was a problem, but also (but to less extend) Yugi. I mean, he was famous for and used to being a VESSEL, let alone the one with the most morality problems (like when Kaiba threatenes suicide and such). So maybe, just maybe, he was the most unstable and THATS WHY it was none other than Yuya who combined all the others in the end - and became a Vessel for all the others. He was the one who was 'complete' in the end.
@@Emily12471 well if you say so but if you the last episode of yugioh 5ds series subs it shows that Yusei and Akiza kinda admits their feelings and plus they look each other while Yuma on the other hand he was blushing while holding to Tori’s hand when she admits she has feelings towards him
Jaden: Avian, Burstinatrix, Clayman, and Bubbleman into Electrum Syrus: Expressroid, Drillroid, Truckroid, and Stealthroid into Stealth Union. Zane: Activates "Overload Fusion" with SIX materials for Chimeratech Overdragon!
Dbz sees other anime using fusion Veget' what the hell Kakkarott they can do futiin without that stupid dance Goku watching Yu-Gi-Oh arc v I don't know Vegeta there doing weired dances in this one
So basically Rey knew of these Legendary Duelists and knew their public persona and thought it would be a good idea to fuse them into the fragments of the guy she sealed away without doing any background checks? I'm surprised it only back fired with ONE of them.
To be fair Yuya was going to be a good kid because he'd get Yugi and not Atem's soul Yusei is an incorruptible force so that explains Yugo Yuto is sketchy as even in the sun before the war he was described as fun loving but stoic Yuri is pretty much dead on as maybe fusing the quartered soul of the devil with the very essence of darkness might not have been the best plan Then again only Jaden had knowledge of what he was so there's no way Rey would know
Well, to be fair it wasn't like she had time to do background checks and just chose the best duelist she could think of. If she had time to pick and choose like this then I would be face-palming right now.
@@DioStandProud Tbf the Gentle Darkness was more of a benevolent force given the Neo-Spacians and Elemental HERO Neos were literally bathed in its power since their designs were launched into space when Jaden was a kid and were still benevolent beings wanting to save the universe hell the Supreme King was meant to save the world from the Light of Destruction which shows not all Light is good and not all Darkness is evil. The huge question and mystery is how did the Supreme King ever get corrupted in the first place!? For Yuto one would argue Ray took peak ZeXaL III thus Yuma and Astral as Astral is a pretty stoic character and in ZeXaL Yuma looks pretty stoic, but still be emotional
@@DioStandProud but yuya doesn’t need Atem’s soul for it to have backfired. Why? Oh yes, shadow magic would still be around considering without Yugi completing the puzzle and reuniting the mellenium items and resealing the shadows, it would still be around. Reason? Pegasus and Marik (I think, it could have been Bakura) had their items long before yugi first completed the puzzle. And even without Zorc, the shadow games almost destroyed the world the first time... and second time.
@@dragonsuper6195 exactly my point... I love the character development whetit's from being happy and good to dark or the other way around. He drastically changed and its great in my eyes
I mean yeah we could just assume that in jadens case he just never got reincarnated, yugi's a bit weird since his not a reincarnation and more of a descendent of atems yusei's pretty easy and yuma in the same boat as yusei.
@@maadtee6281 Yuki not so much since his just a part of the original and wasnt just born, yugi impossible because he and the atem where both around and due to were atem is at this point the two wouldnt be able two coexistence for yugioh to happen, jaden just awakened as the supreme king
@@ultimate9046 atem was more of a spirit then being alive he used yugi as a way to appear and after yuhi beat him he finally was able to go in his own timeline and die so yeah yugi is his reincarnation
@@maadtee6281 I understand where you're coming from, but yugi was in episode one of gx and typically people need to be dead in order to be reincarnated
Still informative since I didn't watched Arc-V but thinking about watching it cause Crow Hogan appears there lol (I know it's not the Crow from 5ds which makes me sad :(. )
True, 3 of the girls deck were meta. Windwitch (Invoked), Lunalight (with/without Orcust), and Lyrilusc (Tribrigade). While there are only 2 good Arc-V protagonist deck, PePe and PK. Speedroid and Predaplant are bad.
You know, the second you suggested the idea that Jaden was integrated into Yuri, the pieces all kinda fell into place. Cause Jaden definitely has an interesting relationship with his darkness.
To be fair though, The SupremeKing is "Evil" like a dictator(I think)(That's why he is called "The SupremeKing") until he got reincarnated to Yuki(Jaden)
@@Alexdestiny21 What do you want, come on throw me a bone, but your not gonna take my Pharaoh's Throne You can flip all the cards in your trap card zone but your not gonna take my Pharaoh's Throne
Another similarity between Yusei and Yugo: in a match, yugo draws an important tuner card and he sees a connected arc path exactly like yusei. That was really interesting since no one (If I recall correctly) in 5ds and arc V had that "vision path"
One thing that supports the Jaiden and Yuri theory is that Yuri actually has the most fun when actually dueling people, even though it's in a sick, demented way. Jaiden always had the time of his life when dueling, and clearly loved it more than any other protagonist, as time and again, he was having fun even when his or even his friends lives were on the line
*DM* Ray: Hey Yugi, you want to transform into another person who is part of an evil being? Yugi: I transform regulary, but no. Unless I get to keep the God Cards.

Ray: Cool, this is taking too long. *5D* Ray: Hey Yusei, do you want to become a new person? Yusei: Can I ride a motorcycle? Ray: Wha- Okay, sure. Yusei: Can I keep the Signer Dragons? Ray: Nope. Yusei: Why would I wan... Ray: Right, you don't have a choice. *Zexal* Ray: Hey Yuma, you want to become a darker duelist? Yuma: Why would I want that? Ray: Because you get some cool friends. Yuma: But I like my... Ray: Right, you don't have a... Yuma: Woah, wait. Can I at least keep the Numbers. Ray: Nope. *GX* Ray: Hey Jaden, do you want to become another being. Jaden: What? No, I have demons living inside of me, that could make me crazy. Ray: Come on. Jaden: Why the heck would I want that? Ray: You get to keep Super-Poly. Jaden: Okay sure, but I don't want... Ray: Yeah, I don't care. *all previous series* All protagonists except for Jaden: Wait, so Jaden gets to keep his overpowered card? Ray: Yes.
Alright, let's see if I can BS a reply to that astute observation: *takes a puff of inhaler and takes a pull of Red Bull* You see, OBVIOUSLY, it's cuz Super Polymerization is a card bonded with Jaden's soul, which is how it ended up in Yuri's deck. But the God cards were sealed away with Atem (who separated from Yugi) and the Numbers were bound to Astal, not Yuma (who likewise separated). So OBVIOUSLY Yuya and Yuto couldn't have things like god cards and Numbers! Now as for Yusei and the Crimson Dragon.................................. um........... *SMOKE BOMB*
The first season was about the same thing. Atem is a pharaoh who failed to become god because his name was scratched out of history and he was forgotten. The duel monsters system is based on the ba and ka magic system of Egypt so the whole game was literally magic. The strongest magic came from the millennium items which had the power of a dark but unknown god-like being behind them that was capable of possessing people. Etc etc.
@@blanktrigger8863 I thought it was cool how some items have an alter ego like the puzzle and the millennium ring and others don't like the key scale and necklace...the ring the eye and the puzzle got the most screentime though i don't remember seeing the other items too often nor were their powers shown
@@MrMutou They were actually all the same being if I'm remembering right. I think his name was Zorc. He was sealed up in the millennium tablet or something like that and his power sealed into the millennium items.
I remember hearing a theory that ZARC, because he was still a god-tier being, exerted some influence over this. He couldn't stop the split, but he could tweak it a little. So, the first thing he did was remove the four big threats to him trying to resurrect. He then poured as much influence as he could into Yuri with the goal being to have one that would find a way to reunite with it's component parts.
@@rdraken it explains partly to why there is an Alter world Alexis but no Alter World Akiza… nor Alter World Rebecca… Then again due to the Invasion, I suppose Kotori’s existence (and Agent related antics) didn’t matter, considering how troublesome Ancient Gears can get Edit: Worse implication being the other leading ladies have a seperate job involving gluing together that mess that Ray did. The Price to seperate Zarc by the powers of Nature itself is more then we thought
Here's a quick thing you missed, Yuri wasn't always sadistic cause he turned evil and sadistic when he was being treated badly for his talent for fusion
@@helmutotzoy3719 And Yubel got corrupted by the light of destruction. Also Jayden starts going mad and sadistic once Aster beats him and that sends him off into a state of mind of woe and self doubt before the neo spacians. I'm sorry if I messed up a bit of it. I haven't watched GX in a couple of years.
Well remember that jaiden got corrupted by the supreme king through his own unhealthy mental state so Yuri being treated bad probably awakened the supreme king
The piece of evidence that decided it for me was pointing out that Yuri uses Super Polymerization when nobody but Jaden should have that card. Initially, I wrote that off as the writers not caring about how they use legacy cards, but what if they were actually paying closer attention than we realized?
@@xiphos8219 it's a good consideration but I just finished watch the subbed version and apparently according to the 6th op, Yuri's actual name is spelt Joeri even though it's still pronounced the same 😅
@@phoenixgirl1012 That would have to be a translation issue, because if Yuri is supposed to be the fusion summon guy, and the two fusion summon dimension protagonists are Yuki, and Yugi while he's Yuri that's too much of a coincidence. Plus that wouldn't even make the same sounds in Japanese to sound like Yuri Joey's name in Japanese was Jounouchi and the J made the same sound a J wouldn't make a Y sound in Japanese
Remember when Jaden interrogated his ghost teacher by trapping him in a bag and threatening to flush him down the toilet if he didn't talk? It was in season 4 after the whole Yubel fusion thing and probably meant for comic relief, but still a pretty hardcore thing to do considering how if the ghost was trapped in a bag he probably cannot go through solid walls. So the teacher really could have gotten stuck in the dark sewer for a long time at least till he made his way to the surface somewhere.
Yeah. Even though I love Judai, his season 4 personality was just really cold. Also, you noticed the way he started dueling too. So violent and aggressive, and shows no mercy for his opponents whatsoever. That was proved during the couples duel (where his partner was Asuka). Yeah! Man’s completely ignored EVERYTHING about her and dueled his own way, etc. but yeah
@@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256 To be fair,he was winning every duel for both of them cause it was a tag duel. So if he wins then what's actually the problem?
@@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256 True but in the context of the tag duel,it was a good thing. But yeah,he was starting to act rude and stuff so overall it was a bad thing.
@@danieljuries9473 I mean. Our guy’s been through hell and back. Not to mention that was the cause of his evil 😈 half awakening, and so much shi happened during that time. No wonder it changed him drastically. But of course! I don’t blame Judai. It’s not like he wanted THAT to happen
So one thing that needs clarification. The Supreme king and his power of the gentle darkness were originally there to counter the light of destruction and yubel was supposed to be his guardian. But each were corrupted and turned into something twisted. Yubel was effected by the light of destruction and the Supreme King was corrupted because he was forcefully awakened while Jaiden was in a very stressful situation thinking his friends had died. Since Jaiden and the Supreme King are one in the same it warped the Supreme King into the cruel being we meet
@@SOM-v4o nah the light of destruction was it's own entity's and it sent a fragment of itself into a card that was given to him. Which lead to him being taken over.
@@SpellCommander91 I just thought: Maybe not only Jaden was a problem, but also (but to less extend) Yugi.

@ULGROTHA Tbh I never knew the origin of the millennium items and it's actually horrifying. I remember that all the series had their dark moments, but I've never looked that deep into them. Maybe I was mostly too young to actually understand the implications. Wow, your comment is eye-opening.
@ULGROTHA Even in the Japanese version, people were pointing guns at kids, the Shadow Realm was literally just hell, and Carly fell to her death before becoming a Dark Signer.
@@datguy5272 im not so sure, because yliaster was pretty culty. And am fairly certain it completely deroaded it, also carly dropped in screen time too afterwards
Dude, his childhood wasn't great either. Like, have all your friends be scared of you because of one card and having to straight out go to theory for because of it. That kinda bad.
Here's a cool similarity between yuto and Yuma that you missed. In the time before the fusion invasion, yuto's goal was to become the heartland city champion, a title that kite was favored to win. Yuma's goal in early Zexal was becoming the world duel carnival champion, a title that kite was favored to win. They were both rivals to kite in a sense.
babysinclairfan obviously the characters in each dimension were meant to reflect the past series protagonist in each respective city. Why else would they make the worlds unique to past shows? Nothing but pandering, and fusion/ritual came in the original do this dimension plot is complete nonsense.
Actually I think there are more similarities between Yuma's & Yuto's personalities. Remember that during Zexal, Yuma was forced to duel for survival for both himself and his friends. You see that by the end of the Baryon arc, Yuma forgot how to enjoy dueling and became much more serious. He was even about to quit dueling as he stated himself. I think Yuto is very similar to Baryon arc Yuma because he also maintains that drive for survival and protecting his friends. He also goes about it in a very similar manner to Yuma, being reckless and irrational and wanting to go it alone to not endanger anyone else.
Pendulum,xyz,fusion,synchron. Long ago the 4 dimensions live to get her in harmony then everything change when the fusion dimension attack. Only Yuya master of all 4 styles could stop them but when the 4 dimensions needed him most he didn't go. A few months pass and he finally goes to help the 4 dimensions. Although is pendulum skills were great he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But his friends believe he can save the world
According to Orichalcos season, monsters existed since Atlantis civilization 5k years befoee the Egyptians discovered rhem and exploited them with their magic
@@MegaNerdX That doesn't really take too much free time though. I've seen the yugioh marathon on twitch 3 times now. Literally only a few days of content.
Being from a dimension where Fusion, XYZ, Synchro and now Links exist, I can agree that separating them was the greatest choice to limit how strong people can get. Dudes be tripping in my dimension. Luckily, YGO is just a card game here and we ca't kill each other.
I’ve witnessed someone’s passion of dueling break in real time. Poor guy looked like his soul left his body after the duel and he wouldn’t move when the next round was announced. I think he was just tuckered out
Welcome to the should-be-a-simple-child's-card-game-but-is-a-WAY-heckuva-lot-underrated-and-in-reality-extremely-complecated-but-lovable-and-adorable World of YuGiOh. Hope you enjoy your stay! ;D
Yeah a better ending would be, Yuya able to escape out of zarc body battling him. And then some how was able to get Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri out, also freeing the dragons. All 4 of them having a last show down, Zarc and his evil version of the dragon VS yuya/yuto/yugo/yuri and their dragons. Defeat Zarc and turning him back into his good self, because don't forget he was just a talented duelist who became what he is because of the crowds malicious and thirst for violence.
I don't think its just Jaden's influence that made Yuri who he is, unlike the other fragments of Z-Arc Yuri was never raised to become like the other fragments where he was raised to be the opposite of them, not to mention he never grew a bond with Celina unlike the others too, Leo Akeba basically made the dark influence in Yuri grew over the years.
Gotta take into consideration of how they were brought up, Yuri especially. While 3 of them lived relatively normal lives before the war. Yuri was trained as a duel soldier, which Zarc could easily take advantage of. If it wasn't the Professor, Yuri could of ended up as a kinder boy. Though if your theory was right. It would of been cool if, instead of facing of against the Lancers. Yuya had to duel the previous protagonists. Still would be kinda cheap but, it would still be pretty cool. Having Yuya stick to his style and have face duellists he doesn't know with powerful decks.
Due to the Alter World nature, they might have party members who are considered close enough with more recent tactics and Cards to make this trial more fun, or painful
Oh shii- when you talked about yuri I started questioning why does he became corrupted, but then I remembered Jaden literally fuse himself with yubel so that's actually makes sense
Yeah me too I was like "ok but jf every zarc piece fused with a protagonist how did Yuri fused with Jaiden beco... OH THAT'S RIGHT YUBEL, NEVERMIND IT ALL MAKES SENSE"
Just something funny i noticed. If you look at Yuto's hair in the past. It's basically Astral's hair style. That also fits with the fact that he becomes Yuya's "spirit" and is the only person who can see him until later on where he becomes Yuya, similar to the Pharoah's possession of Yugi.
spinjutsu master is rigth; part 6 still follows jonathan's decendants. like pre ARC-5 following same timeline with og, GX, 5D'S, and ZEXAL. but ARC-5's timeline is broken into 4, like Pucci fucked over the universe
I actually think this is a REALLY GOOD hypothesis on the whole ARC-V storyline and really does make totally sense. In fact that’s how I’m viewing the show now because it really does fit so perfectly especially since ARC-V is an alternate reality. However I don’t believe their spirits or souls exist in the ARC-V protagonists, but rather Ray took the qualities of each of the hero’s when she made the new personalities. A “piece” of them exists in the sense that they were the template for which they were built but their actual souls, no. I always felt like after GX there’s a spilt, half goes of the timeline goes into the 5Ds timeline aka the main timeline and ZEXAL & ARC-V the other timeline aka alternate reality after the ARC-V split. But the souls of the past heroes definitely do NOT reside in Yuya. They were the template that is all. I don’t believe someone can “write” someone out of existence especially those of such importance. When Paradox tried to, the Crimson Dragon protected Yusei, and that was all about time jumping. So I believe their original souls belong to themselves just like everyone, however she may have used their likeness and personalities as a BASIS for what they would become. That’s all. Yuya became complete when all the pieces of his (Zarc’s) soul were put back together. And as a last side note, no one beats Yugi just saying except Atem and they kinda are the same so that’s moot lol.
Nah 5ds is cannon because neo domino city is just a rebuilt version of the OG and officer trudge was in Duel monsters and it was confirmed in a data book it’s the same character and yusei knows of Yugi and his king of games title Zexal is very tough To piece together due to the time being way too far apart and barely any reference to the past shows but That Dojo episode if it’s not complete filler Shows Yuma’s shock and delight at the legendary monsters and knows of Dark magician red eyes blue eyes and neos
So not sure why this showed up on my suggested, but I've watched through 5ds and as soon as you got to the explanation about Zarc being sealed within the protagonists my brain went: "Oh...she fucked uuuuuuuuuuup with Jayden"
There's still the bit of Zarc in them, so I think the Yu-Boys are like an exaggeration of the former leads going awry: Yuto is a colder battle-hardened Yuma, Yugo slips up sometimes by having less smarts or maturity than Yusei, keeping the societal rebel and speed-freak daredevil side, and Yuya plays off friendship into showiness, a cheaper way to get people to like you. Yuri doesn't seem to be a slacker like Jaden either, in fact a worthy student.
I think zarcs overwhelming personalities went into previous heroes with opposite personalities to balance them out. The showiness of zarc into the humble and shy yugi. The malice/ competitiveness of zarc into the seemingly carefree jaden. (Then yubel and the supreme king happened) The impulsivity and manic of zarc into the clear minded yusei. The intellect of zarc into the monkey boy who was dropped on the head as a kid
Remember that Yuma was also corrupted by Barrian energy making him evil. Yugo did not have the skills but he had the dragon. Now I don't what happened with the Crimson Dragon but you also have to remember that without the Mark of the Crimson Dragon, i am gonna say that Yusei victory streak wouldn't be so big.
I just thought: Maybe not only Jaden was a problem, but also (but to less extend) Yugi. I mean, he was famous for and used to being a VESSEL, let alone the one with the most morality problems (like when Kaiba threatenes suicide and such). So maybe, just maybe, he was the most unstable and THATS WHY it was none other than Yuya who combined all the others in the end - and became a Vessel for all the others. He was the one who was 'complete' in the end.
I just thought Zark sealed their them in the afterlife so that they couldn't interfere and kick his butt. They can't be a problem if they are not allowed back on this side.
Make sense since I love both Jaden and Yuri 😂, and don't forget that Duel academy was a place full of evil, from the sacred beasts, lunatic teachers to occult worshipping students 😅, it was Jaden who clean that place up
What an incredibly thought out and explained theory. I haven’t paid much attention to the anime since 5ds ended, but this video makes want to continue onto the later series
After rewatching whole Yugioh, I can really agree with that, they are all very similar, especially Yuri and Judai are fucking true, Yuri is basically crazy Judai, still has fun during the duel but psyopatic and sadistic like Yubel...cards are just the bonus proof in that case
I would love a big old crossover over movie with all six of the series's protagonists coming together to fight so big baddie threatening to destroy the multiverse and somehow yugi and atem are still separate people but it's like the last episode were they got separate bodys
Hmmm perhaps there could be one. Have the malnific boi go get all of the baddies. Then have a protagonist duel against a baddie that they would not be used to.
I'm gonna be that guy and say I want yugi to not have atem for that one if it happens. I want to see a grown up little yugi come into his own a bit more to show how much he learned from atem but that even separated he's able to move forward. So I other words I want to see confident possibly adult yugi for something like that.
They may never confirm something like this, but this is one hell of a good theory that has a great hypothesis and examples to back it up. Well worth the watch, I applaud this video 👏🏼
Imo, love the theory, it’s my headcanon now. Though, when Zarc was reformed, I think the four protagonists should have been free and the only ones who remember what life was supposed to be like. Then you proceed to get the four of them meeting and taking on Zarc like they did Paradox. Because that would have been awesome.
Yuya and yugi have more similarities: 1. They both have necklaces that players a part to the story. 2. They both have the letters y and u at the beggining of their name making the sound yu 3. Both are protagonists of their own series
Damn, this was awesome!!! I’m 100% convinced of this theory already. I’ve only gotten through a bit of 5Ds so far after rewatching duel monsters and GX, but when I get to arc-v, this’ll be my head canon for sure.
Steel Ball Run and Arc-V has basically the same plot: Thanks to an immensely powerful villain, the universe is reset and all pre-established characters are remade and fused with other characters. Cept' steel ball run is a horse race to find Jesus, and Arc-V is extra deck racism against the CEO of extra deck racism who's every extra deck monster combined.
I’d also like to briefly add that influence from Akaba in the fusion dimension tampered with Yuri and Serena’s relationship/ life. Yuri was kinda bred to be a ruthless soldier. But I still very much like this theory and agree with it.
One more thing people tend to forget about Yuri, people fear his deck and that's what attracted Akaba and what made Akaba push those negative traits to the light... It's very possible, that if Yuri had found friends, or was never found by Akaba, he could have avoid bring out all of these negative traits completely to the light, but being more of small personality defects instead of full on what make his personality, and allow for the more positive traits of Judai/Jaden, Yubel and the supreme king(Because these last 2 had/have positive traits) to come out to light in him.
People don't fear Yuri's deck, that was never implied in the show. People fear Yuri himself. Just as people feared Jaden when he was the Supreme King, it was never about fearing the Supreme Kings deck or even his super polymerization card. It was fearing the king himself. Its also the same with Zarc, people don't fear his deck, they fear him.
Another similarity between the yuma and yuto is that they're both willing to lose a duel in order to help people. In zexal, yuma duels and almost loses to shark in order to get shark to lose the hate in his heart. Yugo did something similar with sora in arc-v.
I totally agree especially how each of the heroes in Yu-Gi-Oh is similar to each other zarc counterparts but I must say yuri venom deck is based on Professor Viper from Yu-Gi-Oh GX since you yubel did work with him
It’s also based off how the supreme king has a dark attribute deck, also the predaplant archetype effects are based around super poly and how it effects their opponent
Jackson Almodobar the yuma one did feel like a stretch but the Jaden being Yuri one was just way too accurate to be pure coincidence especially both of them having Super Polymerization since only Jaden should have it.
The moment I heard that Zark was getting a chunk of himself merged with Jaden, I thought "Huh...that's, like, three whole Hitlers in one body at this point. There's no way that's a good idea." And, yeah. Totally not a good idea. Now he's Hitler^3 and an inter-dimensional threat...again. Anyways I guess I need to watch Arc V now. Also that one with Xyz summoning. Basically I need to catch up on everything past 5Ds.
If you haven’t started yet I’d recommend giving Yuma time to improve. His whole dueling arc is that he starts out playing like total garbage but gradually improves after meeting astral til he’s actually pretty capable.
Zexal gets better as time goes on. Around episode 48 onwards in my opinion. Arc V kind of falls a part after around the half way mark. But that is more because of the dark side of dimensions movie affecting the production. Which resulted in the following series Vrains having a lot of clip shows in the first 60 episode cause they didn't recover from it. Which is why Studio Gallop no longer animates yugioh anymore sadly.
I don't know Yuri all that well, but could Jaden's love of dueling be twisted in Yuri, so instead of just living to play, he loves the hurt others via dueling.
Did everyone suddenly forget that Yugi and Atem are different? And Jaden had to duel Atem in some time warp dimension instead of just fighting present day adult Yugi(who grew up to be similar to Atem due to influences) becuase Yugi doesn't see himself as the king of games?
11:19 if I recall correctly (it’s been four years since I watched Zexal so I could be wrong) Yuma lost Astral for a bit and a lot of his carefree attitude he used to cover his sadness. Overall this is an awesome video.
Solid theory. The twist with Super Polymerization is a great one. When I first saw that as a kid (mind you, this was before 5D's even came out), I seriously thought it was the ultimate card, so, lot of nostalgia there.
@@SpellCommander91 You did well on the other ones when you where giving your points for the other characters as well. Just the GX explanation & music choice seemed to really fit as of how the Jaden & Zarc merging went wrong because of the darkness of Yubel & the Surpreme King, as feeling very ominous & tragic at the same time. Like it's sad to think that Jaden's soul succumbed to Zarc's influence because of his ties to darkness, despite making mends with his darkness to be good, only to add the darkness of Zarc to erase it all.
... I thought I’d finished GX as a kid... I remember seeing Yubel once or twice, but everything else you said about Jaden was news to me... it’s been so many years that I’d probably have to start from the beginning of GX to understand the story at all, I thought it was just a light hearted story about working your way up through the somewhat unfair system of a gambling school.

To be fair
Yuya was going to be a good kid because he'd get Yugi and not Atem's soul
Yusei is an incorruptible force so that explains Yugo
Yuto is sketchy as even in the sun before the war he was described as fun loving but stoic
Yuri is pretty much dead on as maybe fusing the quartered soul of the devil with the very essence of darkness might not have been the best plan
Then again only Jaden had knowledge of what he was so there's no way Rey would know
Well, to be fair it wasn't like she had time to do background checks and just chose the best duelist she could think of. If she had time to pick and choose like this then I would be face-palming right now.
@@DioStandProud Tbf the Gentle Darkness was more of a benevolent force given the Neo-Spacians and Elemental HERO Neos were literally bathed in its power since their designs were launched into space when Jaden was a kid and were still benevolent beings wanting to save the universe hell the Supreme King was meant to save the world from the Light of Destruction which shows not all Light is good and not all Darkness is evil.
The huge question and mystery is how did the Supreme King ever get corrupted in the first place!?
For Yuto one would argue Ray took peak ZeXaL III thus Yuma and Astral as Astral is a pretty stoic character and in ZeXaL Yuma looks pretty stoic, but still be emotional
@@DioStandProud but yuya doesn’t need Atem’s soul for it to have backfired. Why? Oh yes, shadow magic would still be around considering without Yugi completing the puzzle and reuniting the mellenium items and resealing the shadows, it would still be around. Reason? Pegasus and Marik (I think, it could have been Bakura) had their items long before yugi first completed the puzzle.

Another similarity between Yusei and Yugo: in a match, yugo draws an important tuner card and he sees a connected arc path exactly like yusei. That was really interesting since no one (If I recall correctly) in 5ds and arc V had that "vision path"
Yes! I remember that! I remember Yusei did it during the Kalin duel and Yugo during the duel with the Police force guy.
I think Jack Atlas did it during Ep:94 of Arc-V
Yuya did it against shinji I believe so in the same way but he sees cards in his eventual combo
One thing that supports the Jaiden and Yuri theory is that Yuri actually has the most fun when actually dueling people, even though it's in a sick, demented way. Jaiden always had the time of his life when dueling, and clearly loved it more than any other protagonist, as time and again, he was having fun even when his or even his friends lives were on the line

Alright, let's see if I can BS a reply to that astute observation:
*takes a puff of inhaler and takes a pull of Red Bull*
You see, OBVIOUSLY, it's cuz Super Polymerization is a card bonded with Jaden's soul, which is how it ended up in Yuri's deck. But the God cards were sealed away with Atem (who separated from Yugi) and the Numbers were bound to Astal, not Yuma (who likewise separated). So OBVIOUSLY Yuya and Yuto couldn't have things like god cards and Numbers! Now as for Yusei and the Crimson Dragon.................................. um...........

Season 1: some ancient card game kids play
Season 5: people becoming god, splitting dimensons and wiping out humanity
Well to be fair the ancient version of the game was pretty intense too.
Went off the rails over the years😂
The first season was about the same thing. Atem is a pharaoh who failed to become god because his name was scratched out of history and he was forgotten. The duel monsters system is based on the ba and ka magic system of Egypt so the whole game was literally magic. The strongest magic came from the millennium items which had the power of a dark but unknown god-like being behind them that was capable of possessing people. Etc etc.
@@blanktrigger8863 I thought it was cool how some items have an alter ego like the puzzle and the millennium ring and others don't like the key scale and necklace...the ring the eye and the puzzle got the most screentime though i don't remember seeing the other items too often nor were their powers shown
@@MrMutou They were actually all the same being if I'm remembering right. I think his name was Zorc. He was sealed up in the millennium tablet or something like that and his power sealed into the millennium items.
I remember hearing a theory that ZARC, because he was still a god-tier being, exerted some influence over this. He couldn't stop the split, but he could tweak it a little. So, the first thing he did was remove the four big threats to him trying to resurrect. He then poured as much influence as he could into Yuri with the goal being to have one that would find a way to reunite with it's component parts.
Probably this.
Maybe both. Maybe ZARK saw the influence that he could have over Yuri due to Jayden's multiple host disorder and figured he was the best option.
@@rdraken oh shit I forgot Jaden has 3 souls in him and that’s not counting Jesse

Then again due to the Invasion, I suppose Kotori’s existence (and Agent related antics) didn’t matter, considering how troublesome Ancient Gears can get
Edit: Worse implication being the other leading ladies have a seperate job involving gluing together that mess that Ray did. The Price to seperate Zarc by the powers of Nature itself is more then we thought
It wouldn't matter if Leo Akiba didn't try to fuse all the dimensions together, because Yuri would've been the one to started it instead.
Here's a quick thing you missed, Yuri wasn't always sadistic cause he turned evil and sadistic when he was being treated badly for his talent for fusion
true, but it is like the supreme king, he was probably a great king until he got corrupted by the gentle darkness
Also, even though jaden was a great duelist people constantly kept treating him like he was trash for a good while.
@@helmutotzoy3719 And Yubel got corrupted by the light of destruction. Also Jayden starts going mad and sadistic once Aster beats him and that sends him off into a state of mind of woe and self doubt before the neo spacians. I'm sorry if I messed up a bit of it.

Joey's name in Japanese was Jounouchi and the J made the same sound a J wouldn't make a Y sound in Japanese
Remember when Jaden interrogated his ghost teacher by trapping him in a bag and threatening to flush him down the toilet if he didn't talk? It was in season 4 after the whole Yubel fusion thing and probably meant for comic relief, but still a pretty hardcore thing to do considering how if the ghost was trapped in a bag he probably cannot go through solid walls. So the teacher really could have gotten stuck in the dark sewer for a long time at least till he made his way to the surface somewhere.
Yeah. Even though I love Judai, his season 4 personality was just really cold. Also, you noticed the way he started dueling too. So violent and aggressive, and shows no mercy for his opponents whatsoever. That was proved during the couples duel (where his partner was Asuka). Yeah! Man’s completely ignored EVERYTHING about her and dueled his own way, etc. but yeah

So one thing that needs clarification. The Supreme king and his power of the gentle darkness were originally there to counter the light of destruction and yubel was supposed to be his guardian. But each were corrupted and turned into something twisted. Yubel was effected by the light of destruction and the Supreme King was corrupted because he was forcefully awakened while Jaiden was in a very stressful situation thinking his friends had died. Since Jaiden and the Supreme King are one in the same it warped the Supreme King into the cruel being we meet
Wait, so is the light of destruction. Satorious? It explains very well how he could alter Satorious predictions.

Here's a cool similarity between yuto and Yuma that you missed.
In the time before the fusion invasion, yuto's goal was to become the heartland city champion, a title that kite was favored to win. Yuma's goal in early Zexal was becoming the world duel carnival champion, a title that kite was favored to win. They were both rivals to kite in a sense.
GG
babysinclairfan obviously the characters in each dimension were meant to reflect the past series protagonist in each respective city. Why else would they make the worlds unique to past shows? Nothing but pandering, and fusion/ritual came in the original do this dimension plot is complete nonsense.

Yu-gi-oh arc-V: *fuses 1 person and 4 dragons*
Correction: Five people and 20 spirits.

When Kaiba’s done losing to the Pharaoh, I’m sure he’ll make sure none of that shit happens.
Amen brother... getting sick of these 3rd rate duelist with 4th rate decks.
Actually I think there are more similarities between Yuma's & Yuto's personalities. Remember that during Zexal, Yuma was forced to duel for survival for both himself and his friends. You see that by the end of the Baryon arc, Yuma forgot how to enjoy dueling and became much more serious. He was even about to quit dueling as he stated himself. I think Yuto is very similar to Baryon arc Yuma because he also maintains that drive for survival and protecting his friends. He also goes about it in a very similar manner to Yuma, being reckless and irrational and wanting to go it alone to not endanger anyone else.
Pendulum,xyz,fusion,synchron.
Long ago the 4 dimensions live to get her in harmony then everything change when the fusion dimension attack.
Only Yuya master of all 4 styles could stop them but when the 4 dimensions needed him most he didn't go.
A few months pass and he finally goes to help the 4 dimensions.
Although is pendulum skills were great he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
But his friends believe he can save the world

this makes me even angrier about the wasted potential of arc-v . imagine the protagonists teaming up against zarc instead of that bs we actually got.
I know right, I really wanted an arc where the Yuya's had to go into the dimensions to find the yuzu's
Yeah a better ending would be, Yuya able to escape out of zarc body battling him. And then some how was able to get Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri out, also freeing the dragons. All 4 of them having a last show down, Zarc and his evil version of the dragon VS yuya/yuto/yugo/yuri and their dragons.
Defeat Zarc and turning him back into his good self, because don't forget he was just a talented duelist who became what he is because of the crowds malicious and thirst for violence.

Heck I would’ve been happy just having Kaiba and Joey show up and fight against Zarc. Wasted potential not putting those two in the series
bruh i just finished the first yu-gi-oh and im hearing maths equations
I don't think its just Jaden's influence that made Yuri who he is, unlike the other fragments of Z-Arc Yuri was never raised to become like the other fragments where he was raised to be the opposite of them, not to mention he never grew a bond with Celina unlike the others too, Leo Akeba basically made the dark influence in Yuri grew over the years.
Now I imagine all the different duelists just vibing in reincarnated yuya
Yuya: *trying to sleep*
The other protagonist: *partying like hell*
@@lermoo1930 Yuma: where is astral and why am i hear i just got my family back
Gotta take into consideration of how they were brought up, Yuri especially. While 3 of them lived relatively normal lives before the war. Yuri was trained as a duel soldier, which Zarc could easily take advantage of. If it wasn't the Professor, Yuri could of ended up as a kinder boy.
Though if your theory was right. It would of been cool if, instead of facing of against the Lancers. Yuya had to duel the previous protagonists. Still would be kinda cheap but, it would still be pretty cool. Having Yuya stick to his style and have face duellists he doesn't know with powerful decks.
Due to the Alter World nature, they might have party members who are considered close enough with more recent tactics and Cards to make this trial more fun, or painful
Oh shii- when you talked about yuri I started questioning why does he became corrupted, but then I remembered Jaden literally fuse himself with yubel so that's actually makes sense
Yeah me too I was like "ok but jf every zarc piece fused with a protagonist how did Yuri fused with Jaiden beco... OH THAT'S RIGHT YUBEL, NEVERMIND IT ALL MAKES SENSE"
@@topino1262 So its the "Light of Destructions" fault then?
@@supervegito2277 ummmmmmm basically yea
Out of all the theories I’ve seen about where the others YUGIOH protagonists are in Arc - V, yours is the one who makes the most sense
Man this channel is underrated, a TH-cam video ad took me here.
Same
Just something funny i noticed. If you look at Yuto's hair in the past. It's basically Astral's hair style. That also fits with the fact that he becomes Yuya's "spirit" and is the only person who can see him until later on where he becomes Yuya, similar to the Pharoah's possession of Yugi.
So Arc V is basically part 6 of JoJo's?
Yu-Gi-Oh franchise : Yes, I Am!
More like part 7 lmao
spinjutsu master is rigth; part 6 still follows jonathan's decendants. like pre ARC-5 following same timeline with og, GX, 5D'S, and ZEXAL. but ARC-5's timeline is broken into 4, like Pucci fucked over the universe
Nani?! Is that a Jojo's reference?!
@@sanji29 It's funny cuz Yuya and Giorno have the same voice actor
I actually think this is a REALLY GOOD hypothesis on the whole ARC-V storyline and really does make totally sense. In fact that’s how I’m viewing the show now because it really does fit so perfectly especially since ARC-V is an alternate reality. However I don’t believe their spirits or souls exist in the ARC-V protagonists, but rather Ray took the qualities of each of the hero’s when she made the new personalities. A “piece” of them exists in the sense that they were the template for which they were built but their actual souls, no. I always felt like after GX there’s a spilt, half goes of the timeline goes into the 5Ds timeline aka the main timeline and ZEXAL & ARC-V the other timeline aka alternate reality after the ARC-V split. But the souls of the past heroes definitely do NOT reside in Yuya. They were the template that is all. I don’t believe someone can “write” someone out of existence especially those of such importance. When Paradox tried to, the Crimson Dragon protected Yusei, and that was all about time jumping. So I believe their original souls belong to themselves just like everyone, however she may have used their likeness and personalities as a BASIS for what they would become. That’s all. Yuya became complete when all the pieces of his (Zarc’s) soul were put back together. And as a last side note, no one beats Yugi just saying except Atem and they kinda are the same so that’s moot lol.
Nah 5ds is cannon because neo domino city is just a rebuilt version of the OG and officer trudge was in Duel monsters and it was confirmed in a data book it’s the same character and yusei knows of Yugi and his king of games title Zexal is very tough To piece together due to the time being way too far apart and barely any reference to the past shows but That Dojo episode if it’s not complete filler Shows Yuma’s shock and delight at the legendary monsters and knows of Dark magician red eyes blue eyes and neos
So not sure why this showed up on my suggested, but I've watched through 5ds and as soon as you got to the explanation about Zarc being sealed within the protagonists my brain went:
"Oh...she fucked uuuuuuuuuuup with Jayden"
same response i had. only protagonist with a darkside that is built in.
maybe she fused corrupted Yubel insted of Jayden?
@@lisaruhm6681 then where is Jaden?
@@pulsefel9210 gone, but only Yubel was fused, or more Yubal, than Jayden, since they too were fused together.
So we just going to act like ritual summoning doesn't exist
patrick ramsey HONESTLY, it's so over-looked but I love them ;-;
What the heck, yeah, we just not gonna talk about the iconic black luster soldier and relinquished
Yep. Konami even went ahead and made NEW blue-bordered monsters in their place. Tells you a lot doesn't it
I was like wait why is the standard dimension not the ritual dimension?
Ritual cards are played in the main deck, not the extra deck like xyz, fusion and synchro cards. That is the distinguishing factor.
Yugo is a reincarnated Yusei? With Yugo’s losses, I don’t buy it
There's still the bit of Zarc in them, so I think the Yu-Boys are like an exaggeration of the former leads going awry:
Yuto is a colder battle-hardened Yuma, Yugo slips up sometimes by having less smarts or maturity than Yusei, keeping the societal rebel and speed-freak daredevil side, and Yuya plays off friendship into showiness, a cheaper way to get people to like you. Yuri doesn't seem to be a slacker like Jaden either, in fact a worthy student.
I think zarcs overwhelming personalities went into previous heroes with opposite personalities to balance them out.
The showiness of zarc into the humble and shy yugi.
The malice/ competitiveness of zarc into the seemingly carefree jaden. (Then yubel and the supreme king happened)
The impulsivity and manic of zarc into the clear minded yusei.
The intellect of zarc into the monkey boy who was dropped on the head as a kid
Yea, the Yu-boys being the opposite of the previous protagonists personality seems likely.
Remember that Yuma was also corrupted by Barrian energy making him evil. Yugo did not have the skills but he had the dragon. Now I don't what happened with the Crimson Dragon but you also have to remember that without the Mark of the Crimson Dragon, i am gonna say that Yusei victory streak wouldn't be so big.

I love how you play the main themes behind talking about the different protagonists. Nice touch
"But hey: That's just a theory, a yu-gi-oh theory! Thanks for watching"
#MatPat
**double over laughing**
Lol
Matpat is the best I swear
I just thought:
Maybe not only Jaden was a problem, but also (but to less extend) Yugi.
I mean, he was famous for and used to being a VESSEL, let alone the one
with the most morality problems (like when Kaiba threatenes suicide and such).
So maybe, just maybe, he was the most unstable and THATS WHY it
was none other than Yuya who combined all the others in the end - and became a Vessel
for all the others. He was the one who was 'complete' in the end.
I just always assumed Arc-V was a parallel dimension story hence why none of the other protagonists appeared.
i agree
I just thought Zark sealed their them in the afterlife so that they couldn't interfere and kick his butt. They can't be a problem if they are not allowed back on this side.
Make sense since I love both Jaden and Yuri 😂, and don't forget that Duel academy was a place full of evil, from the sacred beasts, lunatic teachers to occult worshipping students 😅, it was Jaden who clean that place up
What an incredibly thought out and explained theory. I haven’t paid much attention to the anime since 5ds ended, but this video makes want to continue onto the later series
After rewatching whole Yugioh, I can really agree with that, they are all very similar, especially Yuri and Judai are fucking true, Yuri is basically crazy Judai, still has fun during the duel but psyopatic and sadistic like Yubel...cards are just the bonus proof in that case
I would love a big old crossover over movie with all six of the series's protagonists coming together to fight so big baddie threatening to destroy the multiverse and somehow yugi and atem are still separate people but it's like the last episode were they got separate bodys
Hmmm perhaps there could be one. Have the malnific boi go get all of the baddies. Then have a protagonist duel against a baddie that they would not be used to.
It was already done with yugi,yuse and jaden
I'm gonna be that guy and say I want yugi to not have atem for that one if it happens. I want to see a grown up little yugi come into his own a bit more to show how much he learned from atem but that even separated he's able to move forward. So I other words I want to see confident possibly adult yugi for something like that.
They may never confirm something like this, but this is one hell of a good theory that has a great hypothesis and examples to back it up. Well worth the watch, I applaud this video 👏🏼
Imo, love the theory, it’s my headcanon now. Though, when Zarc was reformed, I think the four protagonists should have been free and the only ones who remember what life was supposed to be like. Then you proceed to get the four of them meeting and taking on Zarc like they did Paradox. Because that would have been awesome.
Yuya and yugi have more similarities:
1. They both have necklaces that players a part to the story.
2. They both have the letters y and u at the beggining of their name making the sound yu
3. Both are protagonists of their own series

@@martinchristianaguilar5135 nice
I hate to break it to you, but all protagonists have yu in their first name, except Judai who is the best
@@A-Link his yu is in his last name instead
Damn, this was awesome!!! I’m 100% convinced of this theory already. I’ve only gotten through a bit of 5Ds so far after rewatching duel monsters and GX, but when I get to arc-v, this’ll be my head canon for sure.
For me the deal breaker is this is a different timeline to Duel monsters, GX, 5ds, and ZeXal
Well, I didn't see an Accel synchro.
Steel Ball Run and Arc-V has basically the same plot: Thanks to an immensely powerful villain, the universe is reset and all pre-established characters are remade and fused with other characters.
Cept' steel ball run is a horse race to find Jesus, and Arc-V is extra deck racism against the CEO of extra deck racism who's every extra deck monster combined.
What a time to be alive with series like these...
Your last part doesn't make much sense though
@@xm_heecka.laddder.job_mx5962 thats why ARC V is so weird...
I think you mean Part 6 because Steel Ball Run has nothing to do with the ending of Part 6, being its own universe and all that.
Giorno Giovanna is in both Golden Wind and Arc V
I’d also like to briefly add that influence from Akaba in the fusion dimension tampered with Yuri and Serena’s relationship/ life. Yuri was kinda bred to be a ruthless soldier. But I still very much like this theory and agree with it.
It all made sense the moment you said that the spirit of Yuri hosted the spirit of Jaden. I knew, oh that's why he's a psychopath.
Yeah same, reqatchineverything from DM on (just finished Vrains) confirmed this even more because really all of the are very similar
Especially Yuri and Jaden
Imagine jyudai banging asuka with psychopath mode while yubel and the supreme king joined
One more thing people tend to forget about Yuri, people fear his deck and that's what attracted Akaba and what made Akaba push those negative traits to the light... It's very possible, that if Yuri had found friends, or was never found by Akaba, he could have avoid bring out all of these negative traits completely to the light, but being more of small personality defects instead of full on what make his personality, and allow for the more positive traits of Judai/Jaden, Yubel and the supreme king(Because these last 2 had/have positive traits) to come out to light in him.
That's pretty similar to the fear Jayden had when he had yubel as his ace. Maybe this is what would have happened if he didn't send yubel away
People don't fear Yuri's deck, that was never implied in the show. People fear Yuri himself. Just as people feared Jaden when he was the Supreme King, it was never about fearing the Supreme Kings deck or even his super polymerization card. It was fearing the king himself. Its also the same with Zarc, people don't fear his deck, they fear him.
I've always wondered if zark was the zark. You know the God of evil that the Pharo atem defeated. You know resurrection and all that.
*Zork
Zarc
Zorc and no it's not the same character as zarc like these are different canons/universes
Besides Zorcs dead
Another similarity between the yuma and yuto is that they're both willing to lose a duel in order to help people. In zexal, yuma duels and almost loses to shark in order to get shark to lose the hate in his heart. Yugo did something similar with sora in arc-v.
Thats why i like GX, Jaiden is just special
A) Are you ok with the idea of Jaden fusing with Yubel?
B) Is Yubel Female or Male?
@@umergulmuhammad9756 A) im totally cool with it since Yubel is his fav card when he was young
B) probably a girl

C) Yusei is the only Protagonist to never turn evil, so how's that for being special
Lazar The Shinobi yessir
@@umergulmuhammad9756 B) both.
I totally agree especially how each of the heroes in Yu-Gi-Oh is similar to each other zarc counterparts but I must say yuri venom deck is based on Professor Viper from Yu-Gi-Oh GX since you yubel did work with him
It’s also based off how the supreme king has a dark attribute deck, also the predaplant archetype effects are based around super poly and how it effects their opponent
Jack Hero idk, I felt like a lot of the comparisons feel like way to big of a stretch with a conspiracy theory level logical leaps.
Jackson Almodobar the yuma one did feel like a stretch but the Jaden being Yuri one was just way too accurate to be pure coincidence especially both of them having Super Polymerization since only Jaden should have it.
I’m now realizing that yu-gi-oh have a lot of characters that start with “y”
Specifically, "Yu-" which, I THINK, means "game" in Japanese. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody who's more of a weeb than I am?

Seriously XD Only now?
The moment I heard that Zark was getting a chunk of himself merged with Jaden, I thought "Huh...that's, like, three whole Hitlers in one body at this point. There's no way that's a good idea."
And, yeah. Totally not a good idea. Now he's Hitler^3 and an inter-dimensional threat...again. Anyways I guess I need to watch Arc V now. Also that one with Xyz summoning.
Basically I need to catch up on everything past 5Ds.
If you haven’t started yet I’d recommend giving Yuma time to improve. His whole dueling arc is that he starts out playing like total garbage but gradually improves after meeting astral til he’s actually pretty capable.
Zexal gets better as time goes on. Around episode 48 onwards in my opinion. Arc V kind of falls a part after around the half way mark. But that is more because of the dark side of dimensions movie affecting the production. Which resulted in the following series Vrains having a lot of clip shows in the first 60 episode cause they didn't recover from it. Which is why Studio Gallop no longer animates yugioh anymore sadly.
I don't know Yuri all that well, but could Jaden's love of dueling be twisted in Yuri, so instead of just living to play, he loves the hurt others via dueling.
Okay, I was with you until until the last minute when you said that buffoon is the new King of Games.
Dra9ondemon ikr 😂😂
I mean there was no one else that he was inferior to.
If history is rewritten and the og protagonists don't exist anymore then Yuya is definitely the King of games.
Did everyone suddenly forget that Yugi and Atem are different? And Jaden had to duel Atem in some time warp dimension instead of just fighting present day adult Yugi(who grew up to be similar to Atem due to influences) becuase Yugi doesn't see himself as the king of games?
You're talking as if Yugi/Atem would beat even half of the other protagonists
Yugioh Arc V: what the hell are we doing!?!?
11:19 if I recall correctly (it’s been four years since I watched Zexal so I could be wrong) Yuma lost Astral for a bit and a lot of his carefree attitude he used to cover his sadness. Overall this is an awesome video.
Michael Segal yeah that’s right when he was against dark storm and dark storm corrupted his soul.
Solid theory. The twist with Super Polymerization is a great one. When I first saw that as a kid (mind you, this was before 5D's even came out), I seriously thought it was the ultimate card, so, lot of nostalgia there.
11:20 Man I love how you used the ost of GX through out this segment, so nostalgic and ominous and really fits.
Thank you! Seriously, it means a lot that someone appreciates the work that goes into the music mixing on these videos!
@@SpellCommander91 You did well on the other ones when you where giving your points for the other characters as well. Just the GX explanation & music choice seemed to really fit as of how the Jaden & Zarc merging went wrong because of the darkness of Yubel & the Surpreme King, as feeling very ominous & tragic at the same time. Like it's sad to think that Jaden's soul succumbed to Zarc's influence because of his ties to darkness, despite making mends with his darkness to be good, only to add the darkness of Zarc to erase it all.
And Yusaku was reincarnated from the future. His spirit lives on in Yuya’s duel runner. A.I is the duel disc.
I was skeptical until I remembered Super Poly, you got me there.
... I thought I’d finished GX as a kid... I remember seeing Yubel once or twice, but everything else you said about Jaden was news to me... it’s been so many years that I’d probably have to start from the beginning of GX to understand the story at all, I thought it was just a light hearted story about working your way up through the somewhat unfair system of a gambling school.
Yeah, it got pretty dark at times. Also, there was an entire season that wasn’t dubbed because they wanted to move on to 5D’s(which also didn’t have its final season dubbed either).
