Guys stop writing "the knight of haoi had card destruction is not really a brick". The brick was for Lonely Brave! I just show the scene where both show the hand so understand the situations. And besides even with card destruction Lonely brave STILL BRICK. Ah and I know there is a scene where Joey brick in the four way duel with marik, seto, yugi. I forgot it
Yeah when i watched that vrains episode it had me rolling both of them were like "this hand sucks" to themselves but were like "i have the perfect hand" to each other
One of the most unbelievable moments in the series isn’t the other worlds, the giant monsters, time travelling or being able to generate large holograms that do battle with one another, it’s that in 7 arcs of Yu-Gi-Oh, only four characters ever suffered a bricked hand.
One of the minor characters in GX lost his duel due to not drawing the right card on his turn. Aporia in 5Ds banked on drawing a specific card for a burn effect to OTK Z-ONE, which he didn't end up pulling. In Sevens, during his first duel with Luke, Yuga both had a weak opener and whiffed his boss monster's ability, missing the KO and losing on the crackback.
I mean, when you Brick and then see your opponent either playing a Strong deck where even when it "Bricks" can full combo, or the opponent is playing an Obnoxious control or Stun deck, yeah, I'd surrender to.
It still amazes me that Yuya was the ONLY protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh that bricked. Like, Yugi easily has one of the worst decks ever shown in the series with literally no synergy in it, with just a bunch of random monsters in it, and yet he never bricked. Now Yuya, he plays a Performapal Deck together with Odd-Eyes monsters and some magicians, which all support each other in a way with some monsters of those archetypes and yet he bricked!
You guys seem to be missing the point. Yugi’s deck sucked and had zero synergy and yet he never bricked. On the other hand, Odd-Eyes and Performapal is an archetype with good synergy and really shouldn’t have bricked. No one’s talking about Yugi vs Yuya’s skill.
@Galaxyfnaf And Dino no, that made him the most relatable character. He was poor, had no money to get them meta cards and had tonwork with what he got He lost many times and made many mistakes because he still has mich to learn. And he has a burning passion for the game and does not let hinself get demotivated by people that use money to get good cards like kaiba (even if that means he has to resort to... uhm Yugis tactics [cheating probably, lol])
@@Monaco114yap a Knight of Hanoi and...he kept changing his avatar name and I am tired at the moment so I think it was Brave Max at the time and I am not good at memorizing names.
Ok, but in Arc V, it happens like once every 10 episodes. Yuya alone bricked a couple times and many of the side characters just make due or make a weak play because of a bad draw. It happens way more often than any other series and it makes the duels feel more grounded and realistic. Especially near the middle when it starts getting serious and its like life and death duels, seeing someone not draw well, or get a bad hand and lose really builds up the stakes.
Yeah, you build a more compelling experience when the solid plays are few and far between. Not that Yu-Gi-Oh isn't a good show when everyone has bad hands. It's the character behind the bad hand, and indeed, the stakes of the duel. Seeing a bad hand and wondering what they will do if they lose everything, which happens to each protagonist at least once. They either go evil or get desperate to the point of overkill. Satisfying stuff you don't see in other anime.

There's Dennis in Arc-V who draws a Polymerization in the tournament arc. Interesting fact: If you look at his story deck in Legacy of the Duelist, you can see that along with his Performages, he has a single copy of Polymerization. And no fusion monsters. Meaning that he built his deck around XYZ summoning and chose to put in a Poly for... Some reason?
@@diarawisteria2218 Nah, Dennis definitely has an (unreleased) Performage fusion (Trapeze Witch), which he used like 2 times but only in the last season (once against Kite, and another against Yuya).

The last clip is relatable especially during tournaments, when you have the worst hand you can possibly have yet you still feel the need to intimidate your opponent
It's like when you have no idea what to do when playing chess, so you just random pieces with your best poker face imaginable so that your opponent would think you have some game plan.
In seven different series, dozens of different duelists, and hundreds of duels, the were FOUR bricked hands, with two in the same duel.

Fun fact... Jonouchi had TWO BRICKS. The actual first was Battle City Four-Way Duel which he drew nothing to summon and then the second was his duel against Zigfried. Good times!
@@MrVariant Yes because Joey summon Giltia and "forgot" the part in which Level 5 and 6 need a tribute which cause his summon to become illegal thus sending that monster to his Graveyard, ending his turn and letting Espa landing the first hit of the duel. Good one. I forgot because that was a illegal play and wasn't aware of it. Call it a brick, it should count.
@@MrVariant It is his last appearance unless you count the times he appears in a card's art. Also there's the Giltia retrain THAT WOULD summon itself and not be an illegal play. Ah thank goodness for Gilit-Gearfried
@@MrVariant Technically that wasn't a brick. He just forgot he can't summon lvl 5+ monsters, and his turn got skipped as a penalty for some reason. He still had lower lvl monsters in his hand.
This actually happend to me and my opponent, we both drew nothing and we both bluffed each other into thinking the other had a good hand, peak of my life
Nameless Anonymous: the only reason his hand did not brick was because they where in an action duel, so they can go after card that are layed down on the floor, without relying on that, he could not do mush with the hand he got.
Watched yugioh recently and noticed that Marik was supposed to lose every single duel he has been in. 1- His first duel was with Mai, Where Mai lets him win by not attacking with harpie lady sisters on his holding arms. She wanted to show off the RA and be stupid even though it was clear magic was real since she was in a shadow game. 2- Yami Bakura also let Marik win. Marik being the terrible duelist he is, used card of sanctity when Bakura had like 2 cards in hand allowing him to draw 4 while marik drew 2. Marik then doesn't use pot of greed for some reason. The biggest misplay and intentional feeding moment was when Yami Bakura doesn't set monster reborn facedown before using Exchange to take Ra. His second biggest misplay was sacrificing ra when he could have just monster reborn + sacrificed and kept ra in defense mod since the defense transferred over. Then Bakura could have just sat on Destiny board and Ra in defense mode until he won. 3- Joey, By no fault of his own passed out due to Marik cheating with ancient shadow magic and the judge just standing there being completely cool with it because hey, He has a rare card that my boss wants. I bet Seto Kaiba would have beaten Marik too even though Sacred Cards likes to pretend that Kaiba would actually lose to Marik.
Marik deck is actually really good, just watch his final duel with Yugi to see just how good he actually is if he didn't try to torture his opponent 24/7 with his Shadow Duel even if it puts him at a massive disadvantage. Heck he could've easily crushed Joey even before he summoned RA if he just attack instead of wasting time tryna torment Joey even further
In modern yugioh I’ve only ever seen someone brick 2 times. Now a days all decks have so much draw potential that some decks only have 15 of the 40 cards they use actually do anything while the others are just to draw what they need or want
Shoutout to Yusei for actually having a deck where it's believable that he didn't get a brick. Now those five tuner monsters in a row on the other hand.....
@@revolverkyosuke7049 You just called scrap-iron scarecrow a "bad card"? Like.... you can't watch his duels and just say "he uses a ton of bad cards" because it's just not true. JOEY used bad cards. Yusei just doesn't neccessarily have a min-maxed competitive deck because the show writers wanted their duels to be interesting instead of..... ya know, competitive duels.
@@gazelle_diamond9768 *sigh* I didn't say Scrap-Iron Scarecrow in particular was bad (well, it's really not great but there's worse) but I mean...just look at cards Yusei played. Shard of Hope, Card Defense, Stay Force, Converging Wishes, Hardship...You can't convince me those are good cards. I'm not askin for his Deck to be competitive but just not to have a bunch of random situational cards he gets at the right moment and that he will only use once or twice and that's it.
@@revolverkyosuke7049 Card Defense actually looks pretty decent, though I suppose there are better options out there. As for the rest, I'll be honest with you, I don't remember any of those. I only really watched the first 2 1/2 seasons of 5Ds so maybe he uses those later on?
@@gazelle_diamond9768 Card Defense sucks and Yusei has already 3 better options : Defense Draw (which basically is Card Defense but better), Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and Scrubbed Raid. Card Defense : You have to go -1 in order to negate a DIRECT attack.
Kaiba did brick against Dartz. He literally drawn all three of his Blue-Eyes in his opening hand and had to top deck Poly on his following turn to do anything.
He was playing Steelswarms which often needs a lot of high level monsters to do anything, and I think you need a specific one to do anything unless you have a spell, so chances are he probably would had bricked again anyway.
Didn't Joey also have a dud opening hand in the Duel Tower 4-way duel in Season 3? I remember him saying "Aw man, this hand is the pits!" and not summoning a monster on his first turn.
0:28 Yes you can Yuya. Set Odd-eyes pendulum dragon in your pendulum zone then use its pendulum effect to destroy it and add a pendulum monster with a pendulum scale of eight or higher to summon your monsters.
Jadens deck is almost too good he plays staples an extra deck full of "all your monsters are basically materials for this" and ...what 6 ~ 8 polymerization related cards ? Also lets never forget ...in gx there is no raigeki hero is basically tier 0 in gx
As someone who used to play E heroes and spacians I can confirm you really do have to pick and choose as I bricked trying to do both most of the time. I stayed with heroes as I had most of the E hero fusions and not many spacian fusions.
Alexis: "Luuuuck is a *loser's* excuse ...." **Proceeds to lose due to bad hands, and better cards ....* Welllll ..... She's *NOT* wronnng now ... is She ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yuma also got brick draw couple of times, and somehow the guy from Gx, who runs a BASIC HEROES Deck, with 5 normal monster that can do absolutely jackshit on their own, never get bricked.
That’s actually interesting, I was thinking about bad hands in the game when I don’t remember anyone bricking in the anime. People always had something to play, y’know?
0:10 looking at this I can't believe there was never fusion support for jinzo. Like it seems like every DM Era ace monster has some sort of fusion support but jinzo got nothin...
I like to think everytime Kaiba bricks when practicing he just creates a new blue eyes card to the point every hand can result in having a blue eye on the field I mean think about howbmany "blue eyes cards" there are now
Out of all anime deck , Judai/Jaden has the most easily deck to be brick , jesus have u even run that deck ? Elemental Heroes itself with so many specific equip card are already complex and he combined it with Neo Spacians making it even worse basically your hand should have been 5 spell cards that help elemental neos 90% of the time
Yusei deck is even worse. Other then 5 cards not counting his extra deck is random terrible cards just for that stupid mentality "No card is useless" and bs his duels with extremely terrible and circumstantial trap cards
@@zettgundam6317 If we're talking 5Ds. The only good Synchrons are Quickdraw and Junk Synchron. If I want to be generous Unknown Synchron (Not counting being One For One targets). Yusei runs everu single Synchron even ones no one sane uses like Turbo Nitro and Road Synchron. Many of his monsters are bad beaters or useless effects. Speed Warrior and Sonic Chick are terrible cards. Quilbolt is bad fodder. If you have to burn your entire hand for one synchro play the deck is not salvageable. Yusei plays so many terrible traps its not funny. Top 20 wont cover just how terrible trap cards Yusei plays. Spells are unusable cause dumb Turbo Duel gimmick 5Ds forced and Yusei very rarely duels standing. Traps include but not limited to. Scrap Iron Scarecrow. Stay Force. Split Stream. Hardship. High and Low(duel links having the balls to print this garbage.) Descending Lost Star. Graceful Revival. Converging Wishes(this trap is the biggest ass pull I ever seen in my entire life) the list goes on.
Yusei’s situation was more that he was on the shit end of society mirroring when friends buy packs and get nothing but shit cards but still play. Most of the decks Yusei fought were equally bad or worse but had synergies, and yusei even had his cards taken away at one point which forced him to use a cobbled deck made from donations to force a slug match with a cheating opponent, in a match where he also cheated. Yusei outright plays dirty sometimes too. That was the main appeal of the show initially.
@@soukenmarufwt5224 Quillbolt still sees use today, with shit like Junk Synchron, and Scrap-iron Scarecrow is fuckin funny, Graceful Revival ain't bad either The others? Yeaaahhh questionable decisions all around
I can think of at least 6 instances where 4/5 cards I had were dupes, several where I ended up drawing the same 3 in a row, and at least twice all 5 were dupes. To be realistic, this should be happening every single episode.
So in the GX manga, Judai topdecks Pot of Greed, draws into Graceful Charity and draws into a manga only draw 3 he bricks and just has a hand full of do nothing spells and loses a really important dule and changes to Masked Heros after
I still find it weird seeing steelswarms were used in anime while other Terminal archtypes were not .. besides gem knights which also were used by some girl ... weird

They Drew more bricks after he used it lol
Fun fact... Jonouchi had TWO BRICKS. The actual first was Battle City Four-Way Duel which he drew nothing to summon and then the second was his duel against Zigfried. Good times!
Didn't he brick vs espa roba when he erroneously summoned giltia without tribute?
@@MrVariant Yes because Joey summon Giltia and "forgot" the part in which Level 5 and 6 need a tribute which cause his summon to become illegal thus sending that monster to his Graveyard, ending his turn and letting Espa landing the first hit of the duel. Good one. I forgot because that was a illegal play and wasn't aware of it. Call it a brick, it should count.
@@dragonknight1560 oh sure. I figured as much as I believe that was Giltia's last appearance. At least in real life they made gilti gearfried fusion.
@@MrVariant It is his last appearance unless you count the times he appears in a card's art. Also there's the Giltia retrain THAT WOULD summon itself and not be an illegal play. Ah thank goodness for Gilit-Gearfried
@@MrVariant Technically that wasn't a brick. He just forgot he can't summon lvl 5+ monsters, and his turn got skipped as a penalty for some reason. He still had lower lvl monsters in his hand.
I never knew bricked hands existed in the anime. Such a rarity to see.
Bro it took four Yugioh series for a character to brick again, ain't no way😂😂
This actually happend to me and my opponent, we both drew nothing and we both bluffed each other into thinking the other had a good hand, peak of my life
getting bricked has got to be the most painful feeling in a duel
I play Duel Links. But I can relate
The episode where both hands brick but they both pretend to have a great hand is my favorite episode of Vrains.
You can call me a Yugioh protagonist if you considered this 58 seconds of bricking the entire anime
Yuya's hand wasn't brick. He had infinite supply of his ace card "action magic - evasion" to make play with.
Nameless Anonymous: the only reason his hand did not brick was because they where in an action duel, so they can go after card that are layed down on the floor, without relying on that, he could not do mush with the hand he got.
That was legitimately my favorite Vrains moment. It felt so relatable, to be honest.
Watched yugioh recently and noticed that Marik was supposed to lose every single duel he has been in.
1- His first duel was with Mai, Where Mai lets him win by not attacking with harpie lady sisters on his holding arms. She wanted to show off the RA and be stupid even though it was clear magic was real since she was in a shadow game.
2- Yami Bakura also let Marik win. Marik being the terrible duelist he is, used card of sanctity when Bakura had like 2 cards in hand allowing him to draw 4 while marik drew 2. Marik then doesn't use pot of greed for some reason. The biggest misplay and intentional feeding moment was when Yami Bakura doesn't set monster reborn facedown before using Exchange to take Ra. His second biggest misplay was sacrificing ra when he could have just monster reborn + sacrificed and kept ra in defense mod since the defense transferred over. Then Bakura could have just sat on Destiny board and Ra in defense mode until he won.
3- Joey, By no fault of his own passed out due to Marik cheating with ancient shadow magic and the judge just standing there being completely cool with it because hey, He has a rare card that my boss wants.
I bet Seto Kaiba would have beaten Marik too even though Sacred Cards likes to pretend that Kaiba would actually lose to Marik.
In yugioh sacred cards Marik deck is stronger than Seto and Yugi/Atem. In most yugioh video marik's deck is better than Seto
Marik deck is actually really good, just watch his final duel with Yugi to see just how good he actually is if he didn't try to torture his opponent 24/7 with his Shadow Duel even if it puts him at a massive disadvantage.
Heck he could've easily crushed Joey even before he summoned RA if he just attack instead of wasting time tryna torment Joey even further
Looks down at 5 copies of "Right Arm of the Forbidden One"
*Oh yeah, its all coming together*
It takes a special type of shit luck to not have any monsters to start with considering Jonouchi's deck.
Love that half thr brick hands in the show were in the same duel
In modern yugioh I’ve only ever seen someone brick 2 times. Now a days all decks have so much draw potential that some decks only have 15 of the 40 cards they use actually do anything while the others are just to draw what they need or want
Considering the MC decks in YGO & GX, this should have happened more often
Shoutout to Yusei for actually having a deck where it's believable that he didn't get a brick.
Now those five tuner monsters in a row on the other hand.....
it's actually weird because he runs so many bad cards, especially Traps.
@@revolverkyosuke7049 You just called scrap-iron scarecrow a "bad card"?
Like.... you can't watch his duels and just say "he uses a ton of bad cards" because it's just not true. JOEY used bad cards. Yusei just doesn't neccessarily have a min-maxed competitive deck because the show writers wanted their duels to be interesting instead of..... ya know, competitive duels.
@@gazelle_diamond9768 *sigh* I didn't say Scrap-Iron Scarecrow in particular was bad (well, it's really not great but there's worse) but I mean...just look at cards Yusei played. Shard of Hope, Card Defense, Stay Force, Converging Wishes, Hardship...You can't convince me those are good cards. I'm not askin for his Deck to be competitive but just not to have a bunch of random situational cards he gets at the right moment and that he will only use once or twice and that's it.
@@revolverkyosuke7049 Card Defense actually looks pretty decent, though I suppose there are better options out there.
As for the rest, I'll be honest with you, I don't remember any of those. I only really watched the first 2 1/2 seasons of 5Ds so maybe he uses those later on?
@@gazelle_diamond9768 Card Defense sucks and Yusei has already 3 better options : Defense Draw (which basically is Card Defense but better), Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and Scrubbed Raid.
Card Defense : You have to go -1 in order to negate a DIRECT attack.
This is what happens when you don't believe in the heart of the cards.
I use XYZ summons now so that I wouldn't get a bricky hand whenever I get a tribute monster on my hand even once.
It's so rare for someone to have a brick hand in Yugioh that I forgot that that even happened before
as an ancient gear player...this resonates with me
I'm more surprised by the fact that over 20 decades of yugioh, we only have this many bricked hands.
But what surprises me is that no one from GX, 5D’s and ZeXal even bricked at all. Like what
Unbelievable! Only 4 characters bricked in the entire show, and none of them was a Blue Eyes player
Looking at you koiba
How tf did Kaiba NOT bricked at all 🤔? I play that deck in Duel Links and I gotta say, I brick at least 10 times or more 😭
How Kaiba never bricks with blue eyes is beyond me.
Eh
Bullshit plotarmor
Cuz he's Seto Kaiba, he can do the impossible possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kaiba cheated his way with his deck by modifying his duel disc in a way that doesn't let him brick at all.
Kaiba did brick against Dartz. He literally drawn all three of his Blue-Eyes in his opening hand and had to top deck Poly on his following turn to do anything.
remember when going first starts you at 6 cards after draw phase? dark times.
Jonouchi bricked like 2 other times in the series I believe. In the 4 way duel and against Marik.
It astounds me that bricks aren't more of a cornerstone of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime
I like how he says he bricked and yet has hand destruction
He was playing Steelswarms which often needs a lot of high level monsters to do anything, and I think you need a specific one to do anything unless you have a spell, so chances are he probably would had bricked again anyway.
This is probably the most relatable video I've seen all year
Didn't Joey also have a dud opening hand in the Duel Tower 4-way duel in Season 3? I remember him saying "Aw man, this hand is the pits!" and not summoning a monster on his first turn.
tbh i need more scenes where the characters brick it's hilarious
If I’m not mistaken, Joey also bricked during the 4-Way duel in the Battle City finals. All he could do was set Graverobber or something
Also with Espa
The bluff at the end was perfect.
I had a game where I drew 3 ash double maxx C and my opponent drew double ash and triple maxx C, the heart of the cards was not on my side in the end
I'm always said My hand is perfect when I have 3 Blue-Eyes white dragon in my hand
We really do need more moments like these especially with brave max XD
Yugi over there like “Awe come on Joey- why didn’t you just draw all five pieces of Exodia like I taught you??”
I’m surprised Joey didn’t have a Red-Eyes Jinzo fusion
0:28 Yes you can Yuya. Set Odd-eyes pendulum dragon in your pendulum zone then use its pendulum effect to destroy it and add a pendulum monster with a pendulum scale of eight or higher to summon your monsters.
Anime odd eyea doent have the search effect
Jounouchi also bricked during the Four way duel
This is one of the most common scenario that you will eventually lose the duel.
One of the dudes at the end had Hand Destruction. Which lets both players discard 2 cards and draw 2. Very useful since they both got a bad hand
This is one of my top 10 moments of Vrains, sadly Fat Dab was cut completely by season 2.
I like how the thumbnail looked like yuya was about to throw the ryu-ran
Now, I may have only watched the bad GX dub, but you would have thought Jaden would have been dealt the most bricked hands.
Jadens deck is almost too good he plays staples an extra deck full of "all your monsters are basically materials for this" and ...what 6 ~ 8 polymerization related cards ? Also lets never forget ...in gx there is no raigeki hero is basically tier 0 in gx
As someone who used to play E heroes and spacians I can confirm you really do have to pick and choose as I bricked trying to do both most of the time. I stayed with heroes as I had most of the E hero fusions and not many spacian fusions.
That's what that Knight of Hanoi gets for running garbage like Steelswarm.
The Hanoi didn't brick as he have Hand Destruction. But Shima's hand is a cinder block.
Hard to believe there's only ever been 3 bricks in all of Yugioh
And none from GX OR ZeXal 😂. Guess all the characters had a good hand 🤚
Lol brick hands need to be a thing in Yu-Gi-Oh anime more often.
That end clip is me at my locals, always have had the worst luck with bricking so I have to just put on the poker face 🤣
This once again proves why yugioh is at time luck based
Yeeeeep
And all if us know it dam well
Alexis: "Luuuuck is a *loser's* excuse ...."
**Proceeds to lose due to bad hands, and better cards ....* Welllll .....
She's *NOT* wronnng now ... is She ???
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's funny how they both bluff like its poker
I lost it at the 5 level sevens 💀
That feeling when you draw a brick hand
When I get a bad draw I just try to psyche out the other guy by placing spells or traps that don't do nothing to make it seem that I have a plan.
In Yu-Gi-Oh when it comes to Duelling, nothing is worse than drawing a bad hand of five.
And having absolutely NOTHING to even be able to counter anything
Yuma also got brick draw couple of times, and somehow the guy from Gx, who runs a BASIC HEROES Deck, with 5 normal monster that can do absolutely jackshit on their own, never get bricked.
If he did, then Yuma should be on here too 😂
Only 4x whole yugioh up to that point? WOW.
That’s actually interesting, I was thinking about bad hands in the game when I don’t remember anyone bricking in the anime. People always had something to play, y’know?
Every Yu-Gi-Oh fans nightmare
Bruh they both bricked and try to play it off 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That last one is perfect.
0:10 looking at this I can't believe there was never fusion support for jinzo. Like it seems like every DM Era ace monster has some sort of fusion support but jinzo got nothin...
He has xyz forms!
But that's off the point
I was watching vrains at that time. Vrains was so serious then that duel happened... Every dude in 10 mile radius heard my laugh
Dude, it's already time we should had a Red-Eyes Jinzo fusion and Red-Eyes Fisherman fusion. Also maybe a Red-Eyes dino for Rex Raptor.
The best scene in the entire Vrains Anime.
I like to think everytime Kaiba bricks when practicing he just creates a new blue eyes card to the point every hand can result in having a blue eye on the field I mean think about howbmany "blue eyes cards" there are now
Lmao Yuya looks as if he was about to YEET Ryu-Ran at his opponent
Out of all anime deck , Judai/Jaden has the most easily deck to be brick , jesus have u even run that deck ? Elemental Heroes itself with so many specific equip card are already complex and he combined it with Neo Spacians making it even worse basically your hand should have been 5 spell cards that help elemental neos 90% of the time
Yusei deck is even worse. Other then 5 cards not counting his extra deck is random terrible cards just for that stupid mentality "No card is useless" and bs his duels with extremely terrible and circumstantial trap cards
@@soukenmarufwt5224 yusei deck isn't good but its way way better than judai since synchron of different level gives the deck more flexibility
@@zettgundam6317 If we're talking 5Ds. The only good Synchrons are Quickdraw and Junk Synchron. If I want to be generous Unknown Synchron (Not counting being One For One targets).
Yusei runs everu single Synchron even ones no one sane uses like Turbo Nitro and Road Synchron. Many of his monsters are bad beaters or useless effects.
Speed Warrior and Sonic Chick are terrible cards. Quilbolt is bad fodder. If you have to burn your entire hand for one synchro play the deck is not salvageable.
Yusei plays so many terrible traps its not funny. Top 20 wont cover just how terrible trap cards Yusei plays. Spells are unusable cause dumb Turbo Duel gimmick 5Ds forced and Yusei very rarely duels standing.
Traps include but not limited to. Scrap Iron Scarecrow. Stay Force. Split Stream. Hardship. High and Low(duel links having the balls to print this garbage.) Descending Lost Star. Graceful Revival. Converging Wishes(this trap is the biggest ass pull I ever seen in my entire life) the list goes on.
Yusei’s situation was more that he was on the shit end of society mirroring when friends buy packs and get nothing but shit cards but still play. Most of the decks Yusei fought were equally bad or worse but had synergies, and yusei even had his cards taken away at one point which forced him to use a cobbled deck made from donations to force a slug match with a cheating opponent, in a match where he also cheated. Yusei outright plays dirty sometimes too. That was the main appeal of the show initially.
@@soukenmarufwt5224 Quillbolt still sees use today, with shit like Junk Synchron, and Scrap-iron Scarecrow is fuckin funny, Graceful Revival ain't bad either
The others? Yeaaahhh questionable decisions all around
I can think of at least 6 instances where 4/5 cards I had were dupes, several where I ended up drawing the same 3 in a row, and at least twice all 5 were dupes. To be realistic, this should be happening every single episode.
0:27 He could still set the scales at least.
If memory serves, that was Joey’s landstar deck, he filled it level 3 landstar monsters and still bricked.
That's literally me as a young kid who doesn't know how to build a good deck. High Atk monster was my way to go. Regardless of the level.
So in the GX manga, Judai topdecks Pot of Greed, draws into Graceful Charity and draws into a manga only draw 3
he bricks and just has a hand full of do nothing spells and loses a really important dule and changes to Masked Heros after
I still find it weird seeing steelswarms were used in anime while other Terminal archtypes were not .. besides gem knights which also were used by some girl ... weird
