    Thanks to the comments we now know that;
    Joey could have attacked into Kaiser Sea Horse instead with Blue-Eyes [TURN 10]. This would force Kaiba during his turn to use monster reborn to bring back Kaiser Sea Horse, so that it could be sacrificed for Blue-Eyes. Kaiba then Crashes his Blue-Eyes into Joey's, then he attacks the defence position Hayabusa Knight with Blade Knight.
    Joey's turn and he draws Baby Dragon, he summons it into defence and Ends his turn.
    Finally back to Kaiba's turn he draws stop defence, he switches Baby Dragon to attack and then attacks with blade knight.
    Since Kaiba is dealing less than 2000 damage Joey cant use Nutrient Z and since joey only has 100 life points left then that means Kaiba Wins the duel even earlier.

    [REDACTED: SEE PINNED COMMENT] As the comments say, if Joey would have attacked Kaiser Sea Horse instead of Blade Knight toward the end of the duel. Then next turn Kaiba would have been forced to use monster reborn to bring a monster back so that he could tribute it and Blade knight to summon his second blue-eyes. Then when he crashes his blue-eyes into joeys blue eyes, Kaibas field is now completely empty. And Joey would be able to attack for game next turn.

      I think the points about Kaiser Sea Horse are right, and make it so Joey actually loses even earlier.
      Kaiba revives Kaiser Sea Horse, summons Blue Eyes, double KOs both Blue Eyes, and then has Blade Knight (1900) to take out Hayabusa Knight.
      Joey summons Baby Dragon in defense.
      Kaiba uses Stop Defense on Baby Dragon, Blade Knight attacks into Baby Dragon, and damage isn't high enough to activate Nutrient Z so Joey loses there without any options.

    You can see the difference between Kaiba and Marik when Joey faced them.
    Marik wanted to torture and play with Joey. Because of that, Joey almost pulled a win from right under Marik. Joey had a chance.
    Kaiba wanted to end it right then and there. He wasted no time eliminating almost all of Joey's options. Joey had no chance, but he managed to anger Kaiba by taking that Blue Eyes.

    There is one thing Joey could have done, if he had set Graverobber and his Nutrient Z earlier in the duel, waited till Kaiba activated Card of Demise, then, once his turn started, set Pot of greed before activating it; he could have activated Graverobber to steal Card of Demise and drawn 5 cards since Joey's hand would've been empty at that point in the duel. Then activated Jar of greed to draw 2, making Joey have 7 cards in his hand, we already know he would have had Monster Reborn, Hayabusa Knight, Baby dragon, and Time Wizard, so the other 3 cards could've helped him win or at least help him survive the next few turns. Hopefully I didn't miss anything.

      @@brysonreese3664 Yes, he wouldnt be able to draw a "stronger" monster, but there is one card in his deck that couldve won him the duel, or at least get him closer to victory - if he is lucky: Devil Dice. He also has Magical Arm Shield in his deck, which couldve also been able to turn the duel around. So in my opinion those 3 extra cards couldve been the difference between him losing or winning against Kaiba. Of course we will never know for sure, but there was definitely a possibilty for Joey to win if he played optimally.

    • @Silyon487

      The problem is hindsight bias. There's no way Joey could have known that Card of Demise was coming up, and therefore had no reason to NOT play pot of greed as normal to try and dig for one of his remaining answers to the inevitable Blue-Eyes. Joey doesn't play much direct removal in the first place and leans on combat-tricks like the Dice cards to get an edge, and after crush card none of his monsters had enough base attack to overpower one Blue-Eyes without both of them in play. Let alone the two others he knows Kaiba's got waiting in the wings. Kaiba was correct, Joey was wasting his time with a duel he couldn't win after running into the first-turn Crush card.

      Of course the duel wouldve played out differently from this point on since he wouldnt have been able to destroy Kaibas Blue Eyes with the graverobbed Enemy Controller, so it really just depends on what those 3 extra card wouldve been, which we will never know.

    I'll be honest, Jounochi/Joey was my favorite character, but I never wanted him to win massively important main antagonist duels. If he did, it would ruin his character.
    Think of it. Joey is the underdog, he's the everyman. He's the guy like you and me that's doing what is right, and always trying his best.
    He's the guy who did better against Marik than Yugi did, and Yugi beat him. Joey, a random nobody, had Marik *screaming* in fear and anger about how impossible it was to be pushed so far by a nobody. In the Japanese version, Marik throws up after his duel with Jounochi because he was at one moment so absolutely terrified of this underdog of a guy who made him a literal joke in front of everyone watching.
    Joey has Moral victories. He duels because it's the right thing to do. To many extents, even more than the Pharoah, Joey can be called a real hero. He doesn't get disheartened from losing, he always gets back up and he keeps going.
    When the chips are down I'll always bet on Joey. Even if he loses, he fought his best, and he holds zero regrets.

    Whats ironic about Kaiba is that he is one of the very few opponents Joey has faced (especially in span of battle city and virtual world) that plays fair.
    - The Rare Hunter who stole Red Eyes used counterfeits (or marked in the dub)
    - Esper Roba had someone spy on Joey's hand
    - Weevil hired someone to sneak a card in Joey's deck.
    - Odion tried to play fair but Marik blackmailed him into playing a fake Ra.
    - Johnston fixed all of Joey's luck cards so they would fall in his favour.
    - Marik used a shadow game to weaken Joey.

    One thing you missed was that Joey should have used Blue-Eyes to attack Kaiser Seahorse instead of Blade Knight. That way, if Kaiba wanted to summon his second Blue-Eyes, he would need to Monster Reborn something and then tribute it and Blade Knight. Regardless of if he crashed it into Joey's Blue-Eyes or not, he'd be wide open on Joey's next turn. If Blue-Eyes was still on the field, Joey could crash his into it, then attack directly with either Hayabusa Knight or Baby Dragon to win.
    Edit: I suddenly realized Kaiba could just Monster Reborn Kaiser Seahorse and then tribute it to summon Blue-Eyes, but then that means he couldn't bring it back after crashing it into Joey's. Then Blade Knight will attack and destroy Hayabusa Knight. On Joey's turn, he summons Baby Dragon in defense. On Kaiba's turn, he plays Stop Defense on Baby Dragon and attacks it with Blade Knight. Since it will only inflict 400 damage, he can't play Nutrient Z, so he'll lose.

Then Joey would’ve summoned Baby Dragon in defense, Kaiba would’ve played Stop Defense on Baby Dragon (or Hayabusa Knight if he didn’t destroy it earlier) and have Blade Knight attack for game.
      Since Nutrient Z only works when you’re about to take at least 2k points of damage, Joey couldn’t use it since Blade Knight would’ve done 700 points of damage when attacking Baby Dragon or 900 when attacking Hayabusa Knight and Joey still had 100 LP.

    The only move that would've possibly given Joey the win was instead of attacking Blade Knight, he should've attacked Kaiser Seahorse. Then on Kaibes turn he has no way sacrifice for his other blue eyes. Although I guess he could've used monster reborn on a random monster then sacrifced it and blade knight for blue eyes 2. He just would've been in a stalemate until his thunder dragons came into play. So I guess he still kinda wins? Unless Joey attacks with haybusa knight after crashing with blue eyes? Idk hard to tell but still a misplay TGS anime didn't mention.

He plays some sweet combos and has Kaiba sweating when he gets Blue Eyes. My kids love watching this duel. Thanks TGS Anime for doing this breakdowns of the duels! 🐐.

    The anime had this habit of making Joey look weaker than he actually was when he's dueling Kaiba or when kaiba's even present, and while it's much less present in this duel him falling for Crush card always seemed like one of those moments. Aside from that I really love this duel and especially Joey taking control of Blue eyes, I always wondered why he did'nt just take control of Blue eyes and then use monster reborn for one of his own high level monsters but your explenation cleared that up.

      I think that is dependent on what we classify as "irl", as if we're talking about in a tournament setting, I don't think any of the main characters' decks would be viable, as for the most part they tend to lack consistency. Any deck can score a few wins here and there, so if we're just talking a friendly duel with your friend at the kitchen table, then sure they would probably do fine, but to get consistent wins in competitive dueling they'd need to be adjusted with, for example, more searchers to avoid bricks. Even dedicated Blue-Eyes decks have trouble with brick hands, and Kaiba's deck contains a lot more cards that doesn't synergize with Blue-Eyes at all, like the XYZ Dragon Cannon cards.
      This isn't an issue in the anime, as the characters tend to draw cards that synergize with each other, but this will land you in hot water more times than not if you're playing in real life.

    • @kestrelraptorial689
      @kestrelraptorial689 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yugi's anime decks are just god awful. If you actually try to build them and test them against any deck that you could have built even as a casual player during the time when the Battle City arc was running, your own personal deck would probably destroy Yugi's main series deck almost every time. I remember I was trying to build a Dinosaur deck but there were almost no Dinosaur cards back then, so it was a Winged Beast and Dragon deck mostly, and Yugi's Battle City deck doesn't stand a chance. Its cards do not support each other, it has no main theme, and deck engines were almost nonexistent back then (short of a couple of monsters that could search others, but only a couple). Joey's deck at least has some Warrior synergy, Pegasus' has a bit of a control theme, and Kaiba's is the most playable. Marik's deck actually doesn't work well either, but Yugi's is by far the worst.

    This isn't about this duel, but... One that always bothered me was the Strings duel.
    I'm looking at all the card advantage that Strings has with that setup, the massive hand size he's got going on there, and all I can think is.
    "Summon another monster. Play another spell to destroy Yugi's monsters. Attack directly with something else."
    It wouldn't make an especially interesting video for this series, because the answer is pretty decisively - yes, Strings could have easily beat Yugi way before he worked out how to deck Strings out. Still, the series always makes me think of it.
    I suppose a more interesting question might have been, could Yugi have won any other way, sooner in the duel? Though I don't think he really could have, even if he'd known Slifer's effect.

    The thing that comes to my mind on something he could have done differently would be to have Blue-eyes attack Kaiser Sea Horse instead of Blade Knight...

Destroying Joey's strongest monsters in his deck is a move you use on a duelest who you know can crush you. After watching Joey's duel with marik, he made him realize that Joey isn't a weak duelist you think he is.
