what i meant was more like what is the poin of knowing what you're gonna draw if it won't change what you're gonna draw, or the outcome of the game since there wasn't cards to work with guessing though
Yeah Mai wasn't really a cheater, she did that psych out thing although to be fair she wasn't really using the perfumes to change up the order of cards in her deck. She abandoned that trick after her duel with Joey & won tons of duels after that. Enough to make it among the Final 8 in Battle City, & the Semi Finals of Duelist Kingdom. Then even when she was playing with the Orichalcos Gang she still wasn't cheating. She doesn't even deserve to be on the list as a result. Panik tried to roast Yugi Alive, kidnapped Mai to force her into a duel for all 8 of her Starchips (when she only needed to bet 2 of them) with it being left to the viewers imagination what else he did to her. How was he not on the list?
Little side note for #7: In the original Japanese version; the cards the rare hunter uses were actually fake cards; that invisible ink thing was just something they put in the english dub.
Maaan, they are 2 entirely different anime. Both versions are fine though. The real one is the right one, of course, but 4 kids dub is hilarious as fuck and the dumb censorship is funny so i think its worth giving each version a chance. Or watch the original and some american episodes.
And in this case the dub is actually correct. Or rather, they're both correct. Quote from the manga: All our bootleg cards have SPECIAL INK which only these special contact lenses can see. So the cards are indeed fake, but they're also marked. It's not just something made up for the English dub.
In Zexal, Cheating went to a whole new Level. No, seriously, during the almost entire Series i was wondering two things: First, are these Kids alright in the Head? One sleeps in a tree, one walks over the street without looking, another one decides to ignore all Warning Signs and take a nice Walk over a Building Site... Its... Wow... And the other thing was the Extreme Amount of Cheating, that was always let though. It was crazy. I can't even list examples because my head starts spinning, thinking about it all. But let's just say, I've barely ever seen harder Cheating than erasing your opponents Memories so he becomes a complete Noob at the Game you're playing right now. That was insane, yet just an random Example. Just an Example i say!!
Lol I love how he posts another video talking about how yugi cheats like 5 times in that duel and talks about yugi cheating in a lot of the other duels too lol
Well Ra struck him down personally for using a fake version of his card. Thou Shalt Not Play Fake God Cards is probably 1 of the commandments for Duelists.
Fun fact: Pegasus actually has an additional method of cheating he did in the manga, where Yugi proved the tape they were dueling through was manipulating what cards he played through subliminal messaging.
@@reloadpsi It was both! Pegasus was using magic, but also subliminal messaging. They proved it by having Yugi secretly decide on a card, then have the others on the couch guess what kind of monster it was (since they were active observers in the manga Duel rather than being frozen out like in the anime), and two of the three guessed that it was a skeleton knight, which was exactly what Yugi had picked.
Jesus, in terms of cheating Atem had the only one that is in theory uncatchable UNLESS someone marked the cards like the Exodia Rare Hunter. Think of it, a card that can JUST HAPPEN to stop a game ending badly for him magically showing up top? I'm legit surprised no one ever accused Yugi of cheating with his absurdly high win rate. Only known losses I can recall is Raphael and the unseen duel where Joey wins his Red Eyes back after Domino City Edit: Wrong Arc
Also in the anime toon world is a card made only for him in the Japanese version and in the 4kids version it's a card never went to the stores because its OP. Both reasons I consider cheating
The judge : Um sir where is the translation for this card ? Marik : What ? The Judge: You need to have a translation if your using a foreign language card Marik: I don’t have any translation The Judge: Well sorry but you are disqualified Literally everyone: 🤯🥲😅😅😀
The purpose of the tournament was that kaiba wanted the 3 god cards. No way in hell he would disqualify Marik, he even allowed him to commit atrocities In shadow games just so he could get a chance to get Ra for himself.
The number one cheater(s) are the NPCs in duel links ... they always pull the same starting hand every single f**king time while the player's starting hand is RNG based
and Mystical Elf! We as players have the right to have monsters with good defense! Edit: And yeah, give us Darkflare Dragon and that little cute dragon(forgot name) as the biggest prizes, but not Alexandrite Dragon and Mystical Elf? those 2000 stats bro are where its at! Im not saying that the former dragons are bad, just okay in comparison with those awesome
In the anime Weevil also stole the tournament rules to get an advantage. Now, in the Manga he was told them ahead of time for being champion, but it’s still cheating in the anime.
I'd like to see Weevil vs Yugi without the help of the Pharaoh. I bet it would be a great duel. Without the Pharoah I'd say Kaiba and Joey would actually be the two best dualist with Weevil and Yugi being the next. I still think Yugi would beat Rex easily without the Pharaoh. Speaking of which it was interesting seeing how the Pharaoh struggled against Weevil without Yugi because Yugi is the more tactical one which you need against Weevil.
Zeafer Jones the only real thing I disagree with you on is the Pharaoh not being involved making Kaiba and Joey the two best duelist. Yugi as a duelist holds a lot of potential and skill, he mainly just lacks confidence. He’s also one of the only duelist to beat the Pharaoh legitimately. Kaiba’s bs win in duelist kingdom is cheating, as was Pegasus’ win via the tape recorded fight. I think Rafael was the only guy to beat the Pharaoh outside of Yugi.
@@zeaferjones1404 weevil sucks dude he onyl ever beocme champ by fighting week foes by time i fdark side mvoie yugi wood kill weevil in duel he that good
@@tinkerer3399 I mean, from my understanding nobody in the anime version of the tournament was supposed to know the rules beforehand, so yes, stealing the rules would be against the rules

Well he didn't actually use the card in question. But how his victory over Rex and Weevil was defiantly cheating. Based on what we saw of his Valkyries' effects in his next two duels, he wouldn't have been able to OTK two opponents at once. One he could certainly do, but not two. More proof he's a sucky villain. The people working on the anime realized his cards were too powerful when he first used them and had to nerf them to the point where it was actually possible for someone to survive his combo.
@@dragonstormx I know this sound's a bit of a stretch ... BUTT ... I was thinking that he actually doctored his own deck as well. I mean, I find it impossible to beat Rex, Weevil & Joey with just one card given they were pretty good on their own... then again, I doubt they'd win against Zigfried even on a fair duel....
@@primalregalia5184 Also his Wotan's Judgement trap. The text on the card says a monster has to be attacked for it to trigger. Zigfried used it when Joey launched a direct attack, so he shouldn't have been able to use it. Therefor Joey should beaten him since his attack would have gone through and done enough damage to win the duel. Zigfried is such a crappy villain that even with his broken cards and cards that were conveniently able to counter Joey's deck, he still needed to have the plot allow him to use a card in a way that ignored its requirements in order to beat Joey. Also his Valkyries just ending the duel with Rex & Weevil also counts as cheating in my book. Even if he summoned Valkyries for a proper double OTK, he still ended the duel without showing their effects. That is just unfair when everyone else has their card effects displayed for everyone to see.
I love how everyone is fine with Esper cheating when he's using "psychic ability," but as soon as they find out he has his siblings helping him it's suddenly not okay to be doing literally the same thing.
I found it annoying how he berated joey for trying to use his skull dice, what did I just get through telling you wheeler you can only activate 1 graceful dice per turn, Who said it was a Graceful Dice, reveals Skull Dice and esper calls him a cheater
I think it’s the difference is he is using supernatural abilities he was born with. Something that technically gives you an advantage but is not something that uses machines or hand trickery. Like Joey amazing luck. It’s not cheating he is just that lucky.
Losing his life he would lose any hope in ever rescuing his bro. This wasn't his only chance but the anime made it look that way. Even though Yugi was his other chance.
That is just Atem’s power since he did it in the final duel with Yugi despite not wearing the Puzzle. And if we go off GX, you can literally learn to top deck.
I like to think it's not actually the millennium puzzles' power, but rather, Yami is extremely good at cutting cards so much that he fools the audience. He's fine with cheating, just infuriated when people are dumb enough to get caught because he knows everyone does it.
Umm, to explain Yugi ripping apart the exodia cards... in the original, they wen't just marked, they were completely fake. Making that Rare hunter, a double cheater. Also, were there be other list featuring the other series... cause they cheated in those other series as well. Example 1: Scorch and Chillis in Zexal.... they stacked there decks by hacking there duel disks. Example 2: Roger from Arc-V... Uh, you know, the guy who was a total dosh with the endless hologram trick.
actually if it was zexal all number holders are cheaters he put anime rules in his yugi video ,so he'd say oh this this and this are cheaters because"numbers can only be destroyed by numbers"hell sat oh yeah they can be destroyed by any card
***** not IRL tho he tells,us,they are cheating but its in the anime they are anime rules so technically some that he mentioned never cheated like yugi for example
Roger did two cheating acts: 1-Alter the rails during Serena and Yugo's duel to give Serena the advantage to grab the Action Cards and Yugo disadvantage of not grabing them 2-Like you said, use holograms to defeat Akaba Leo The last one didn't work due that his dueling skills are a joke in comparation with Reiji anyway
@@missbartlett5527 Pegasus outright explains that one, if you were paying attention. Hiding a card in your sleeve means you can whip it out when you want/need it, at your best convenience, as opposed to having to work with the card(s) you actually have in hand or draw. That is cheating.
In the manga set before season 1 Yami literally put Kaiba through a shadow game where he felt his monsters' deaths the very first time they dueled. This didn't seem to have happened in the show (and it was cut from season 0) because if Kaiba already went through that I dunno why he thought a bluff would work. His mind crush after the Exodia win also left Kaiba in a coma iirc which was way more intense than just destroying his darker side.
I think it'a funny cause in episode 6 joey had a cold in the previous episode, and then suddenly it's cured to the point that he can super smell her perfumed cards all the way from the other side of the arena. lol
Roark The Half-Orc yeah, that was weird. At one point I was jokingly claiming Joey was related to Stella from Winx Club, who could identify Flora by the smell of her perfume. From across a room. After Flora showered. And Stella was asleep when she picked up on the scent. Holy shit, Joey and Stella had to be miserable whenever a heat wave struck, didn't they? All that b.o. . . .
4:22 - I can't fault Kaiba for doing this, but it still doesn't make it right. Remember, if Kaiba lost this duel, Mokuba was guaranteed to be stuck inside of the Shadow Realm for eternity, and Kaiba would have been stuck knowing that it was all his fault he wasn't able to save Mokuba. Imagine your little brother, the brother you've been bonded to your entire life, a pair of orphaned children adopted by a father who didn't truly love you and pushed you to the bring of physically breaking down... Now imagine the only person you had during this whole time was your little brother, and he is the only thing who is able to keep you from going insane or jumping off the deep end. Now, imagine that said brother was held hostage, and you had to win your next fight or your brother, the only thing truly keeping you alive, will be killed... Again, not right - but Kaiba wasn't doing it "just to win". He legit had nothing left if he lost.
in the manga when pegasus realises bandit kieth was cheating ge used his eye to turn kieths hand into a gun and made him shoot himself and it's a pretty brutal scene it's a shame it isn't in the anime
The CRIM-n-L technically no if you listen they said that kaiba and Solomon had to give up their best card, so kaiba has ownership of the card at that time
It was never used in Solomon’s deck(he did keep it in a case, after all), so it’s technically not tampering with an opponent’s deck, and it was also wagered, so Kaiba owned it when he tore it up.

with the foreign text thing, if marik had a translation it would be just plain dumb, it would probably go like this: mai: i steal the winged dragon of ra! i summon it to the field! marik: hello, i know i’m evil and i’m basically a leader of a cult and i control people and illegally change there name to steve but that card has text from a different language, so here’s a translation :)
9:20 Sort of a problem with this one, though... As unlikely as it is for her to be able to smell the fragrances of each individual card in her hand, being able to gauge what card is next in your deck would likely be impossible by this technique, alone. That's because of, well, what he said: the fragrances would overlap and mask each other. Especially if they are so faint an amount of perfume to prevent the overlap. If I'm correct in how she'd be able to do this, you'd functionally turn the cards into a form of "scratch 'n sniff," by dipping them in the perfume and allowing it to soak into the fibers. You'd then press on the card and squeeze the fibers from the center of the card to the edge, allowing the faint smell to waft out--at least that's the only way I can think of to make this possible... Of course, doing this would ruin such cards; because, the chemicals would likely do some nasty things to the ink on the cards. Furthermore, you can not use the perfume to gauge the next card while it's atop the deck; because, pressing down on the next card and then moving your fingers to the edge of the card means pressing down on your deck, and doing the same thing to the entire deck--which, in turn, means releasing the fragrance of multiple cards, which would also make the fragrance pretty strong, not only blocking you from reading the next card you draw, but also kicking up a STRONG stank aroma that would mask the deck, and perhaps even ruining the individual cards' fragrances. This could also explain how Joey ended up learning the truth to her mind games, if she got a little carried away with things, and pressed down against the deck... HOWEVER! You're still correct for including Mai as a cheater for using her cards in this way. Why? Because the use of markers of any kind on your cards is universally banned, no matter what kind of card game it is--from playing cards to trading cards; Poker to Yu-Gi-Oh! And as such, even if it's as a means of messing with people's heads, and not intended to be a cheating strategy of gauging your next card(s), it's still cheating.
Yeah , I remember an episode of CSI Miami ( I know not the most accurate show) but there was an episode where a lady marked her cards with an ink that she wore special lenses to see and that was the reason she an a bunch of people were shot because she ripped off the wrong dude
What about the time Siegfried hacked the Duel system to not only make legal a forbidden card to make Leonhart use it but also alterate its effect text to have an effect that it didn't originally have?
Honerable mention to bones and the rest of bandit Keith's old crew. They were using zombie masks to scare people's locator cards. May not have happened during the duel, but I could argue causing duress to make your opponant concede the duel
I agree, they gotten all their locator cards that way, so if they did get 6 Kaiba would say we have zero recorded duels from you during the tournament so how do you have 6 locator cards them Um well you see, Kaiba you stole them didn't you get out of my Tournament You lost to Wheeler in DK you don't belong here
Respawn YT cryngey? The video was really good and funny. And it is true though. Kaiba only win because he buy the op-nest cards he manage to get. And he nearly freaking lose to Joey in ss4.
I think all main characters are cheaters because they can create cards mid dual from nothing. one ex for each: yugi his fusion between his dragon and dark magician girl, jaden fusion between neos and rainbow dragon that thing wouldn't be created as neo was in space so no reason to create a fusion that is not self sestina in the deck to start, yusai all stardust dragon except the original because their was only one copy of stardust, Yuma all utopias excepted the original, yuya all odd eyes dragons except the plain one including saber, brave, ruin, and beast
Bandit Keith could actually be considered to have cheated 3 times as after Bones looses to Joey, he steals all of his goons' star chips violating tournament rules.
Oh, more times than that. Keith was never a contestant in the first place. He had like 20 decks in his vest when you were only supposed to have 40 cards, and thus allowed Bones to have a much better deck.
every time he broke a rule -intruded into duelist kingdon -smuggled atleast 12 decks extra in, at the bare minimum he had brought 520 cards if not more -smuggled a freaking GUN in -stole a bunch of stuff -did the sleeve thingy -tried shooting a man -did that AGAIN -took hostages im honestly surprised he didn't go "here's my ace card" and just shot the opponent with his gun
8:53 Something else about the perfume: how was Joey able to smell it from clear across the arena? Perfume and cologne aren’t made to be smelled a mile away, it’s meant as an accent (one spritz on each side is enough, gentlemen. don’t overdo it). He’d either have to be much closer to Mai, or the smell would be so overpowering, he would’ve noticed it from the get-go.
Also Weevil said he got the rules to Duelist Kingdom in advanced. But I completely agree with you that he’s a great example of what cheating will get you. You end up loosing anyways and no one will respect you
weevil: im going throw exodia of the boat and then later pretend to kill yugi I am a good person Internet: DRAW MONSTER CARDO 10,000 years later Internet: DRAW MONSTER CARDO ME: KEEP DRAWING MONSTER CARDS INTERNET MAKE HIM SUFFER
Joey relying on luck based cards is his way to even the playing field up against opponents such as Yugi or Kaiba because he does not have access to the rare and powerful cards that they do because the ones he has he wins and he just throws together cards to make a deck overtime he does do some maintenance to his deck but still Joey’s greatest strength is his ability to improvise.
The funny thing about Weevil cheating against Joey in Battle City is that Parasite Paracide already has the effect of shuffling itself into its opponent's deck in the actual game. Based on the rules of the TCG, he shouldn't have needed to sneak that into Joey's deck.
As someone who used to run Parasite Paracide many things could go wrong with it, the issue is unlike other flip effect cards, Parasite Paracide effect does not activate if the card is destroyed by battle. When you set it down you need to make sure it have some kind of protection
6: He was gonna kill himself cause mokuba would have been trapped forever. And he would have no reason to live. It wasn't cause he was gonna lose or he would have killed himself in episode 1 or in battle city, besides I don't really think that's cheating
+Daniotto La Anime/manga rules and irl rules are not the same. Look at the first season. There were no tributing rules. A Blue Eyes could be summoned without tributing any monsters. Card effects were also different. Do a search on the Yugioh wikia. You'll find that some cards have an irl version and an anime and/or manga version. The Egyptian God cards in the anime are OP compared to their irl counterparts.
Seto Kaiba, Episode 3 of the Toei series, he slips Solomon's Blue Eyes Dragon card, which he stole from Yugi, on top of his deck while in a drawing motion. You should see Season 0 if you haven't, it's fun.
Ah Season 0 aka the Season in which Yami/Atem is pretty much a pretty brutal anti-hero in the same vein as someone like Punisher, Berserker State Moon Knight, and Jason Todd after he first became Red Hood aka he puts bad-guys into Shadow Games and pretty much kills them in some pretty horrific ways when they lose via their cheating failing to help them beat Yami/Atem.
Couple of things: 1.) Pegasus did cheat besides his Millennium Eye. Though skipped in the dub, the video he sent to Yugi was edited to include frames of various cards while he watched the video, and then had to create a brand new deck for the duel. Those quick frames sent subliminal messages that influenced Yugi's new deck, giving Pegasus yet another advantage in the duel. 2.) Minor one this time, but must be said since you brought up the original version with Kaiba. Seeker/Rare Hunter had a deck of fake cards. The ink does in fact grant him the ability to know his next card, but the cards are as phony as Odion's Winged Dragon of Ra. 3.) Something else the dub changed that you should have included. Keith smashed the Millennium Puzzle under his own power. He believed the voices in his head were coming from the Puzzle. This is probably the lowest priority on the list, since the 4Kids edit to this episode actually brought the concept closer to the manga version than the Japanese anime.
no i watch the dub you made that up keyt never belvied the puzlze made the vocie come form has head it was marik who made ket smahs the puzzle ket neve did to do the vocie he made th epalce become on fire do to the vocies so your mskein gup tha tthat never happen int he dub
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the fact bandit keith stole the card joey needed to even take part in the finals. XD Oh, and le's not forget when he trapped everyone in a cave. Pretty low moves on his part. Otherwise, great video.
@Aaron Bouman That's technically cheater vs. cheater, though Pegasus used his Eye, which this video excluded from its cheat list because that's a Millennium Item.
Bandit Keith also was part of the group that basically kidnapped Joey forced him to play against "Bones" then trapped the others in cave taking the stars they all gathered for himself.
I prefer Anzu/Tea (same girl), Miho (girl from Season Zero), that Chess Girl from Yugioh R, & Mana (Dark Magician Girl's creator) over Mai personally. That's just the Original Series though 5Ds adds Akiza & Mina.
Seeing Kaiba threaten his own life against Yugi made me remember the abridged series. "Do it! Now's your chance!" "No, wait, there's a chance he may survive!"
I hated Kaiba's tactic of 'winning' that duel against Yugi, that was evil, even for him. Also, I _totally_ called it with Bandit Keith being number one, he literally has 'BANDIT' in his name!
Seto Kaiba had to do that to save his brother especially after the BS Yugioh pulled. Kaiba didn't cheat he call Yugioh Bluff or seen if Yugioh had the heart to kill him to win because Kaiba was showing he willing to die to save his brother. So Kaiba played his last card by calling Yugioh Bluff after Yugioh pull some B.S with fusing Kaiba Monster with a undead Monster (which isn't possible) and the writer not allowing Kaiba Ultimate White Dragon to die once it was attack because Kaiba couldn't bring back his Ultimate White Dragon with Monster Reborn.
@@fantasymangacomicvisionary5688 I get tired of people trying to punch holes in the first season of Yugioh. In my opinion I wish the actual game was more like the first season of Yugioh Duel Monsters. It's better than the real life adaptation, that's for sure. You do realize that the first season was created long before any real life adaptation of Duel Monsters was created? The only reason monster abilities, and cards work differently from their anime counterparts is because Bandai/Konami had to adapt the game of Duel Monsters to a real life setting where we lack interactive hologram's of monsters that react to everything. With real life adaptations come limitations, and more rules to balance the game. The first season of Duel Monsters is how the game was supposed to be imagined, because the writer of the manga intended for the game to be very multidimensional, whereas the real life adaptation is very set in stone. New cards, and combinations were being created on the spot for each episode to keep the anime interesting, even after the first season. The real life versions of those cards arrived after the fact, and had to somewhat loosely replicate their anime/manga capabilities. Technically we are the ones that play the game the wrong way, because the manga and anime came first. Fusing an undead monster to a living Blue Eyes causing it to rot is actually really cool for the anime, and it makes sense. Just because the real life adaptation of the card game doesn't work that way doesn't mean it's cheating, or B.S. It's just a completely different version of the game.
@@donavonhoward114 I wish the game was strategically like Battle City (the best arc) taking whatever card you choose after defeating someone and all. But my favorite Duel within season 1 was clearly Yugioh Vs Seto (top 5 overall) and I didn't have a problem with Yugioh using a Perfect Defense to stop Seto OP Monster or Yugioh using something to fuse with Seto Monster killing it slowly to attack and overcoming Seto Virus Card if it a plot hole or not (in fact it was Awesome). But them having Seto Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon not be killed after it was weaken enough to be killed, but instead just have Yugioh Monster just chop one of his heads off was ridiculous. They basically wanted to make sure Yugioh look like he allowed Seto Kaiba to win when in fact if Yugioh Monster would've destroyed Seto Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon like it was suppose to instead of just chop one of it's head off, then Kaiba would've won straight-up because he had a Monster Reborn to bring his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon back totally unfazed.
Is it evil though? He was doing it to save his young brother, knowing if he lost his brother was basically dead he didn't want to live knowing his younger brother would be gone forever. It's actually quite sad imo, he wasn't doing it because winning, he was doing it to save the only person at that point Kaiba actually deeply cared about.
Joey wasn’t invited either. But the guy at the boat said no star chips, no getting on the boat. So I guess it’s ok to join in as long as you have star chips
Don't forget Weevil cheated by reading the new rules for the Duelist Kingdom tournament before you were supposed to find out about it, and tried to use the knowledge of the field power bonus to beat Yugi. If you include Millenium Powers, Yugi is the biggest cheater. He is able to draw any card from his deck through sheer force of will as shown in many episodes, and confirmed in the final duel between yugi and big yugi.
4:58 I once gave myself a wicked paper cut with a Yugioh card. I was like 12. I’m sure there’s someone on this earth who can accidentally unalive themselves with a trading card.
One that should have been on this list is Zigfried from the grand championship. As a rival to Kaibas company, he entered the tournament in the hopes of winning the tournament and making his company over through Kaiba corp. And even worse, brought along his brother Leon as a tool for his scheme. The cheating part is when he gives Leon a card to use against Yugi in the final match, and the card is a field spell called "the golden castle of Stromberg". But this card was actually never fully developed, as it was considered too strong and overpowered for the game. It was an illegal card. But with some hacking skill, Zigfried was able to make the duel disk recognize it as a legal card, and if that wasn't bad enough, Zigfried also added his own sick twists to how the card works. ・ During each of your Standby Phases, send half the cards in your Deck to the Graveyard. If you cannot, destroy this card. ・ Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1, Special Summon 1 random Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position. ・ You cannot Normal Summon or Set monsters. ・ All monsters Special Summoned by this card's effect and all monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able. ・ When an opponent's monster declares an attack, destroy that monster, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of that monster's ATK. ・ This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of other Spells, Traps, or Effect Monsters. ・ Your opponent must pay this card's maintenance cost. But that's not all, it also released a virus into Kaiba corp systems to delete all its data. Yeah. It sounds pretty overwhelming and impossible to beat. It also didn't help that Leon was absolutely against cheating once he realized what the card does, and felt heartbroken knowing Zigfried was just using him for revenge. Luckily, working together with Yugi, they were able to destroy the castle, with a tactic no one could have ever expected. With only one card in Yugis deck, the castle gets destroyed, and ultimately, brings Zigfrieds revenge scheme to an end.
Nice list, but you actually left out a few instances of cheating for a number of characters, specifically Weevil and Bandit Keith. Weevil did discard Exodia and he did get that kid to sneak a card into Joey's deck, but he also abused his position as the Duel Monsters regional champion to access the Duelist Kingdom rulebook before anybody else, thereby giving himself an unfair advantage coming into the competition. Bandit Keith got Bonz and his friends to duel Joey and gave them pointers from the sidelines, trapped Yugi and his friends in a cave using a giant boulder, betrayed his associates by beating them up and stealing their star chips, and then snatched Joey's tournament card so that he could automatically win their scheduled match in the semi-finals (particularly as he didn't have a card of his own).
That thing about Weevil stealing the tournament rulebook was a dub-ism. In the manga that was simply a perk of being the champion. He got a sneak peak at the new rules.
4:00 Not to be pedantic, but this is explained better in the original Japanese cut and the manga: those three copies of Exodia were actually forgeries, setting the stage for later in the arc where Marik tries forging the Winged Dragon of Ra. I don't know why 4Kids dropped that detail, but it's the real reason Yami destroys the Exodia cards.
WRONG about Bandit Keith, heh, he cheated three times in a duel, if you read the manga Yugioh R, he has a rematch against Joey and tried to do the same tactic of a card in his wristband, however much to his (and not to mention the readers) surprise, the duel disk would not accept it and set out an alarm, the duel disk would only accept cards it registered as being draw, no idea how that works but hey LOL
Karina probably updated the system to sense the weight of the deck and know the phases as well as when a card effect activates that prevents/allows draws. Since the weight sensors didn't recgonize that the deck weight changed when Keith "drew", it activated the sensor.
Emre Ekinci No, he put a virus into the card's data that, when played it would start deleting all of Kaiba Corps files & data, so everyone would leave Kaiba & join his company.
the thing was, Zigfried was the one who edited the effect of it. The original effect was all of the power effects, but YOU had to pay for the effect, not your opponent.
No Bgs I agree he made it into the cards data witch made it op and since he didn't make shenigains like protagonist do in yugioh however it was illegal and he made it legal by hacking witch would be a form of cheating
I'm happy you didn't include Pegasus here. Majority of people call him a cheater, when he literally has the power to read mines thanks to the millennium eye of his. Esporoba (or whatever his name is) REALLY cheated by pretending he can read minds, and everyone around him was shocked and excited. Pegasus literally has this power, genuinely, yet people still call him a cheater I don't see people call Yugi, Bakura, or Marik cheaters when they are using THEIR millennium items powers to get better and win duels (And if they didn't pull out that big bs against his Relinquished and against his room world, he would also win against Yugi). Respect
I think Panik should've been in the list of Yugioh cheaters, or at least be a dishonourable mention, because he was psychologically messing with Mai by scaring her into defeat and tried doing the same to Yami Yugi, plus he basically kidnapped Mai, forced her into a duel (and who knows what else he did or tried to do to Mai), and tried to basically kill Yami Yugi by trying to literally roast him alive
Panik didn’t really cheat, he just taunted and tried to intimidate his opponents as well as went overboard with threatening to burn Yugi. He lost his cool when they no longer fear him, Panik wasn’t much of a cheater as he was actually just a brutal and sadistic psychopath.
+MariojoeyGaming I'm pretty sure that the rules in the first season of the second series anime were based on the prototype rules. Which didn't include tributes.
I'm not entirely sure, if Marick cheated with his duel with Mai, I mean, she took the card but unable to use it because of the text. But we must consider a few things as well: 1. Marick has the original God card in his deck, meaning it's the one and only 'Winged dragon of Ra' god card. 2. Pegasus himself, couldn't decipher the original text of the 'Winged Dragon of Ra' from the stone tablet into the card so he kept the text as is, so that only the REAL master of the card can release the power of the god card. 3. Marick also explained that the wordings on the card itself are Hieroglyphic text, which was used by ancient Egyptian priests. Also his clan are guardians of the Pharaoh's tomb, so technically they know how to read the text. 4. The God cards can ONLY be wielded by duelists that are seen by the gods as worthy ... given the anime point of view ... Even when Rex and Weevil stole the God cards, they'll just get roasted by the gods if they were dumb enough to even be thinking of using them. I was hoping to see other cheaters from other Yugioh animes but I guess that would be spoilers for people who've yet to watch the rest of the series..... BUTT ..... I 1000% agree that the #1 cheater spot belongs to ... 'Bandit Keith' ... no questions asked, RIP that guy where ever he is.... However: (Spoiler) I do question why 'Ziegfried' isn't even on this list. I think he was trying to use a card that has doctored effects changed on it's text during his duel with Kaiba but lost before he could even use it so he gave it to his brother during his duel with Yugi ... either way, his brother still lost due to the card's Hiccup on it's text restrictions.
About the Seto Kaiba one, in the manga at least, he didn't intend to threaten Yugi with suicide in order to win. He just didn't see the point of living anymore if he couldn't save Mokuba and actually encouraged Yugi to finish him off. Seto is a pretty extreme boy. I feel like the anime butchered most of the characters' stories and psychology.
At the very least 4Kids did, I mean look at what they’ve done to every other series they worked on: Winx Club had them remove that one solo fairy companions entire gimmick of referencing stuff like Spider-Man and renamed the actual concept of Magic and the groups name to actually be Winx (it’s JUST the girl groups name) In Pokémon they are SO afraid of using the actual culture the series hails from they renamed the obvious rice balls into…jelly donuts (whilst STILL leaving them look NOTHING like donuts) Then there’s their complete aversion to acknowledging any religion to the point of absurdity such as changing EVERY 6 pointed star sign into a 5 pointed one And yes this is a very old comment but I kinda wanna make my point ckear
Arkana was the best villain duelist. It sucks because the villain duelists start dropping off in skill after him. Marik's skill was overhyped and Yami Bakura always has some risky complexed scheme that sacrifices a bunch of life points. Arkana was one of the few dualists that flustered the Pharaoh. It was only when Arkana started sacrificing his own monsters recklessly did the Pharaoh gain extra motivation and also saw a flaw. Up to that point he was completely outwitted. Normally the dualist that the Pharaoh is facing has some grand plan and he figures out how to beat it. However Arkana sort of did random stuff and never really had one big strategy that the Pharoah could key in on.
I sooo agree. Plus, I love the way they interact with each other. Yami's comment about Arcana's shuffling style is cute. The 2 could've been friends for sure had things been different
Yami outright made up rule effects on the fly because this was planned to be an anime before someone got the big idea to make it into an actual game that actually is supposed to be fair and stuff.
To be fair everyone made up rules. "Oh your moon buff raises the tides to make my sea creatures stronger", "my harpys fly so they automatically beat monsters who cant", "my monsters are brought to life by call of the hunted so killing them just revives them to be even stronger"
Yeah like the duelist kingdom arc was more like an rpg battle thing where you used cards to battle each other, hence why stuff like fields and attributes had loads of effects
About number 7, the Exodia Rare Hunter, in the Japanese dub we learn that all the Exodia cards he's using, along with a lot of the other rare cards used by the Rare Hunters are fakes. They acquire the cards and make a ton of copies of them.
I’m extremely glad that Yugi/Yami wasn’t on this list. He never cheated, it only seems like he/they did because the opponent was the real cheater. Like in the battle between Pegasus, people say he wasn’t supposed to summon the magician of black chaos without sacrificing three monsters. This is incorrect. Pegasus had a cheat card in his deck that in the original, was to be used. Sadly, 4kids removed this extra dramatic scene, and made it to where Yugi/Yami had to cheat to win. (They overall deleted the scene in the original, so it’ll be hard to find it).This is technically cheating, but not at the same time. If in the original he didn’t cheat, but in the remake he did, what would that be? And before you say it’d NOT be cheating, then why don’t I add this bit of info: the scene never aired, it never happened. Would this be cheating? I’m struggling, please reply and tell me what you think. A large explanation would be nice....and great video!! I skipped through to look for Yugi, and was happy he wasn’t in.....great work!
I think you missed Duke Devlin. The trivia on the episode info for Dungeon Dice Monsters parts 2 and 3 say so. He conveniently withheld info of some key rules of the game from Yugi most importantly how the dungeon pathway plays out. Also you're forgetting the guys from Team Catastrophe in the World Racing Grand Prix in 5Ds. Their idea of taking down their opponents was using an illegal shadow card called Hook The Hidden Knight to look their opponents' back wheels and causing them to fall seriously injuring them.
@@jericmagnaye2705 don't forget Armstrong also rigged his duel disk so that it's static generator wouldn't shock him when he took damage. Good thing Alex snuck into the power room and levelled the playing field.
I would love to see "when yugioh players did illegal things", like actual illegal stuff, attempted murder, theif, gambling, assault. Stuff like that time in season 1 with the flamethrowers and the, I think they called him, star hunters
That video would just be events from season 0/before Duelist Kingdom since Yami used to just kill criminals via penalty games. In his first duel with Kaiba he actually put him through a shadow game similar to the stuff Marik later did with Joey where he felt his monsters' deaths.
@@limonbattery yeah I’ve seen season 0, I really like it to be honest. Did you know there was a couple movies made during that era? Last one I saw was about a kid finding Red eyes black dragon, great movie. I actually have some of the cards. Exodia set and 3 blue eyes white dragons I use in my casual deck. (Old exodia turn 1 deck using the blue eyes engine). I always have to ask permission every time I use since the cards are technically legal lol)
@@austinwilburn1772 I only know of that one with Meteor Black Dragon. This stuff was before I was born and I obviously wasn't exposed to the Japanese side of Yugioh growing up. Cool that you have old cards like that still.
In the dub I believe they were just called Eliminators, and due to Pegasus being so powerful, even if he did set someone on fire (like he tried to do to Yugi) it'd only be arguably illegal. Unless death occurs as a result, bodily harm could be considered part of the tournament's risks you consent to
My guess is that they can play cards if they have them while cards like black skull dragon they dont have so it just polys it together. Also Pegasus Crawford explained that there is no tribute summon, and no direct attacks so if that was true then fusions wouldnt matter so long as they have the card
For #5, I feel an exception could be made for the foreign language cards as presumably ALL of the God cards are in Egyptian, and since Kaiba is using one, it could be seen as not being against the rules in his tournament. Also for #3, you wouldn't need 40 different types of perfume, just one for each different card. And presumably, like you said, all the smells would mix when in her deck, so it probably wouldn't give as much of an advantage, if any.
![Was Weevil About To Defeat Yugi? [On The Wrong Track]](/img/n.gif)
if someone is able to know 40 different cards just by their smell I wouldn't even be mad. I mean that's just impressive
N.Free I know right
that... and tbf it wouldn't alter the cards you draw at all, to the point there's almost no difference to playing normally XD
what i meant was more like what is the poin of knowing what you're gonna draw if it won't change what you're gonna draw, or the outcome of the game since there wasn't cards to work with guessing though
how do you do that and not have it smell like skunk or so or go nose blind.
Yeah Mai wasn't really a cheater, she did that psych out thing although to be fair she wasn't really using the perfumes to change up the order of cards in her deck. She abandoned that trick after her duel with Joey & won tons of duels after that. Enough to make it among the Final 8 in Battle City, & the Semi Finals of Duelist Kingdom. Then even when she was playing with the Orichalcos Gang she still wasn't cheating.
She doesn't even deserve to be on the list as a result. Panik tried to roast Yugi Alive, kidnapped Mai to force her into a duel for all 8 of her Starchips (when she only needed to bet 2 of them) with it being left to the viewers imagination what else he did to her. How was he not on the list?
Mokaba: "Steo, Marik's summoning the forces of Satan again."
Seto: "Eh, I'll allow it."
Its invoking the power of Satan. If you're going to quote little kuriboh at least do it right

Little side note for #7: In the original Japanese version; the cards the rare hunter uses were actually fake cards; that invisible ink thing was just something they put in the english dub.
I thought i remembered something like that
Maaan, they are 2 entirely different anime. Both versions are fine though.
The real one is the right one, of course, but 4 kids dub is hilarious as fuck and the dumb censorship is funny so i think its worth giving each version a chance.
Or watch the original and some american episodes.
It wasnt ink by they changed the buttom of the cards so they would know which card is it by looking at it
And in this case the dub is actually correct. Or rather, they're both correct.
Quote from the manga: All our bootleg cards have SPECIAL INK which only these special contact lenses can see.
So the cards are indeed fake, but they're also marked. It's not just something made up for the English dub.
In Zexal, Cheating went to a whole new Level. No, seriously, during the almost entire Series i was wondering two things: First, are these Kids alright in the Head? One sleeps in a tree, one walks over the street without looking, another one decides to ignore all Warning Signs and take a nice Walk over a Building Site... Its... Wow...
And the other thing was the Extreme Amount of Cheating, that was always let though. It was crazy.
I can't even list examples because my head starts spinning, thinking about it all.
But let's just say, I've barely ever seen harder Cheating than erasing your opponents Memories so he becomes a complete Noob at the Game you're playing right now. That was insane, yet just an random Example. Just an Example i say!!

Kaiba in that one duelist kingdom episode:suicide is badass
Lol I love how he posts another video talking about how yugi cheats like 5 times in that duel and talks about yugi cheating in a lot of the other duels too lol
Playing a fake card is okay as long as you get struck by lightning, good to know
Well Ra struck him down personally for using a fake version of his card. Thou Shalt Not Play Fake God Cards is probably 1 of the commandments for Duelists.
I'ma make sure there's a bunch of lightning rods near my opponent and the crowd. Problem solved.
WaterKirby1994 u mean ultra mega chicken
Just so you guys know, the world record is of a guy who got hit by lightning 7 times during his life
Just duel inside a safe place
Biggest cheater is Yami. He uses his powers to draw the card he wants when he's cornered.
Isn’t that the case for all the main characters?
Doesn't the Millennium Puzzle up your luck?
He used stone soldier to destroy the moon and won the duel because fuck the rules.
It’s the “Heart of the cards” lol.
That makes it worse, he lost to Yugi even though he was drawing whatever card using his “Will”
Fun fact: Pegasus actually has an additional method of cheating he did in the manga, where Yugi proved the tape they were dueling through was manipulating what cards he played through subliminal messaging.
I thought that was just speculation they made because they didn't know there was literal magic at play, but it's years since I read it.
@@reloadpsi It was both! Pegasus was using magic, but also subliminal messaging. They proved it by having Yugi secretly decide on a card, then have the others on the couch guess what kind of monster it was (since they were active observers in the manga Duel rather than being frozen out like in the anime), and two of the three guessed that it was a skeleton knight, which was exactly what Yugi had picked.
Jesus, in terms of cheating Atem had the only one that is in theory uncatchable UNLESS someone marked the cards like the Exodia Rare Hunter. Think of it, a card that can JUST HAPPEN to stop a game ending badly for him magically showing up top? I'm legit surprised no one ever accused Yugi of cheating with his absurdly high win rate. Only known losses I can recall is Raphael and the unseen duel where Joey wins his Red Eyes back after Domino City
Edit: Wrong Arc
Also in the anime toon world is a card made only for him in the Japanese version and in the 4kids version it's a card never went to the stores because its OP.
Both reasons I consider cheating
And abridged kinda points something out with the tape that the duel was timed and he monologues to run time out
If Weevil was smart he would have stolen the Exodia cards instead of throwing them off the boat
Private room on the boat?
That doesnt work, they would just call the security
+RisenGuide Yeah you're right.

but then Joey is gonna punch him so hard he would regret he didn't take kuribo instead
Panik: tried to murder yugi with flamethrowers

Panik duels, ergo he is a duelist.
Also, White Night Dragon > Blue Eyes :P
That's not cheating: he didn't used the flamethrower in the middle of the duel
I like the idea of Marik being stopped and disqualified by TO’s for using a foreign language card. That’d be hilarious.
The judge : Um sir where is the translation for this card ?
Marik : What ?
The Judge: You need to have a translation if your using a foreign language card
Marik: I don’t have any translation
The Judge: Well sorry but you are disqualified
Literally everyone: 🤯🥲😅😅😀
Then battle city will need a new tournament organizer
The purpose of the tournament was that kaiba wanted the 3 god cards. No way in hell he would disqualify Marik, he even allowed him to commit atrocities In shadow games just so he could get a chance to get Ra for himself.
@@BCC-cc8lzMokuba: Marik is invoking the powers of Satan again

The number one cheater(s) are the NPCs in duel links ... they always pull the same starting hand every single f**king time while the player's starting hand is RNG based
ssj99lucario Nope it's the vagabond...
ssj99lucario or how they have amazing luck I have never seen anyone other then bandit Keith fail a coin flip and Keith has failed like 3
ssj99lucario lvl 40 Kaiba definitely cheats too by using cards that the player can't even get like Vorse Raider and D.D. Warrior
Skylar Polek Mokuba lv 40 is pretty much the same thing, only worse. HE HAS ALEXANDRITE DRAGON
and Mystical Elf! We as players have the right to have monsters with good defense!

Atem: “You cheater!! You marked the Exodia cards with invisible pen !!!!”
Also Atem, *Activates Lightforce Sword trap card from the hand*
screw the rules i have handtraps
"You were so busy playing cards on your turn, Weevil, you didn't notice that I snuck cards of my own onto the field."
Also he didn't tear up Joey's card that now had the invisible ink on it.
To be fair in the Japanese dub it was actually a quick play spell
It was originally a quick-play spell before its official release
In the anime Weevil also stole the tournament rules to get an advantage. Now, in the Manga he was told them ahead of time for being champion, but it’s still cheating in the anime.
I'd like to see Weevil vs Yugi without the help of the Pharaoh. I bet it would be a great duel. Without the Pharoah I'd say Kaiba and Joey would actually be the two best dualist with Weevil and Yugi being the next. I still think Yugi would beat Rex easily without the Pharaoh. Speaking of which it was interesting seeing how the Pharaoh struggled against Weevil without Yugi because Yugi is the more tactical one which you need against Weevil.
Zeafer Jones the only real thing I disagree with you on is the Pharaoh not being involved making Kaiba and Joey the two best duelist. Yugi as a duelist holds a lot of potential and skill, he mainly just lacks confidence. He’s also one of the only duelist to beat the Pharaoh legitimately. Kaiba’s bs win in duelist kingdom is cheating, as was Pegasus’ win via the tape recorded fight. I think Rafael was the only guy to beat the Pharaoh outside of Yugi.

i mean, he's gotta be the world champ at SOMETHING, with that ego
Keith is just a scumbag! Good this that bastard was caught red handed
Zigfried should have been on here
He literally made up the effects of a non released card
EXACTLY
Well he didn't actually use the card in question. But how his victory over Rex and Weevil was defiantly cheating. Based on what we saw of his Valkyries' effects in his next two duels, he wouldn't have been able to OTK two opponents at once. One he could certainly do, but not two.
More proof he's a sucky villain. The people working on the anime realized his cards were too powerful when he first used them and had to nerf them to the point where it was actually possible for someone to survive his combo.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that.
@@dragonstormx I know this sound's a bit of a stretch ... BUTT ... I was thinking that he actually doctored his own deck as well. I mean, I find it impossible to beat Rex, Weevil & Joey with just one card given they were pretty good on their own... then again, I doubt they'd win against Zigfried even on a fair duel....
@@primalregalia5184 Also his Wotan's Judgement trap. The text on the card says a monster has to be attacked for it to trigger. Zigfried used it when Joey launched a direct attack, so he shouldn't have been able to use it. Therefor Joey should beaten him since his attack would have gone through and done enough damage to win the duel.
Zigfried is such a crappy villain that even with his broken cards and cards that were conveniently able to counter Joey's deck, he still needed to have the plot allow him to use a card in a way that ignored its requirements in order to beat Joey.
Also his Valkyries just ending the duel with Rex & Weevil also counts as cheating in my book. Even if he summoned Valkyries for a proper double OTK, he still ended the duel without showing their effects. That is just unfair when everyone else has their card effects displayed for everyone to see.
I love how everyone is fine with Esper cheating when he's using "psychic ability," but as soon as they find out he has his siblings helping him it's suddenly not okay to be doing literally the same thing.
I found it annoying how he berated joey for trying to use his skull dice, what did I just get through telling you wheeler you can only activate 1 graceful dice per turn, Who said it was a Graceful Dice, reveals Skull Dice and esper calls him a cheater
Psychic powers are only fine if they're real. Nobody likes liars. 🙃😂
I think it’s the difference is he is using supernatural abilities he was born with. Something that technically gives you an advantage but is not something that uses machines or hand trickery. Like Joey amazing luck. It’s not cheating he is just that lucky.
To be fair, Seto's little brother was being held hostage. That game was more important than his life to him, but not because he really wanted on win.
nah it was either win or lose and if he lost he saw no point in living so he decided to make an ultimatum
Losing his life he would lose any hope in ever rescuing his bro. This wasn't his only chance but the anime made it look that way. Even though Yugi was his other chance.
+Mysterychessplayer X i dont think kaiba had faith in yugis abilities at that point
+PokemonChambers And for Ra's sake, if there's someone who is cheating that's absolutely yugi... Thry should stop blaming Seto..
Batuhan Bozal lol true
in the Japanese version the exodia cards were discovered to be fake, which is why Atem ripped them up
Oh in the dub they were real
Oh, that's lame... What a waste
Gold Zenith no in the dub it’s stated as a rare hunter they can illegally copy as many copies of cards as they want
Stephen Betcher If I cant have Exodia no one can
Yeah Exodia are banned in Yugioh cards battles.
Yami/Atem: You cheaters have no dignity
Also Atem: *Uses millenium item powers to draw the card he needs through the whole anime*
That is just Atem’s power since he did it in the final duel with Yugi despite not wearing the Puzzle. And if we go off GX, you can literally learn to top deck.
To be fair, how aware is Yami of this ability given his amnesia?
I like to think it's not actually the millennium puzzles' power, but rather, Yami is extremely good at cutting cards so much that he fools the audience. He's fine with cheating, just infuriated when people are dumb enough to get caught because he knows everyone does it.
@@winslowwidd79 Ooh I like that~
Nope that’s called plot armour
Umm, to explain Yugi ripping apart the exodia cards... in the original, they wen't just marked, they were completely fake. Making that Rare hunter, a double cheater.
Also, were there be other list featuring the other series... cause they cheated in those other series as well.
Example 1: Scorch and Chillis in Zexal.... they stacked there decks by hacking there duel disks.
Example 2: Roger from Arc-V... Uh, you know, the guy who was a total dosh with the endless hologram trick.
he seems to do only the original series
actually if it was zexal all number holders are cheaters he put anime rules in his yugi video ,so he'd say oh this this and this are cheaters because"numbers can only be destroyed by numbers"hell sat oh yeah they can be destroyed by any card
***** not IRL tho he tells,us,they are cheating but its in the anime they are anime rules so technically some that he mentioned never cheated like yugi for example
13KuriMaster
Roger did two cheating acts:
1-Alter the rails during Serena and Yugo's duel to give Serena the advantage to grab the Action Cards and Yugo disadvantage of not grabing them
2-Like you said, use holograms to defeat Akaba Leo
The last one didn't work due that his dueling skills are a joke in comparation with Reiji anyway
What about Keith trapping his opponent in a cave to stop them from participating in a tournament?
Or beating up his goons and stealing their star chips?
What about when Keith took Joey’s card to enter the tournament?
Why do you guys think he steals stuff he’s a bandit
Why would someone put a card up there leave
@@missbartlett5527 Pegasus outright explains that one, if you were paying attention. Hiding a card in your sleeve means you can whip it out when you want/need it, at your best convenience, as opposed to having to work with the card(s) you actually have in hand or draw. That is cheating.
With Bandit Keith, you forgot that he stole Joey's special card for the Duelist Kingdom thing so that Joey would be disqualified
Because only people who got INVITES get the prize cards to wager, Keith didn't get invited, he snuck on the boat.

In the manga set before season 1 Yami literally put Kaiba through a shadow game where he felt his monsters' deaths the very first time they dueled. This didn't seem to have happened in the show (and it was cut from season 0) because if Kaiba already went through that I dunno why he thought a bluff would work.
His mind crush after the Exodia win also left Kaiba in a coma iirc which was way more intense than just destroying his darker side.
I think it'a funny cause in episode 6 joey had a cold in the previous episode, and then suddenly it's cured to the point that he can super smell her perfumed cards all the way from the other side of the arena. lol
Roark The Half-Orc yeah, that was weird. At one point I was jokingly claiming Joey was related to Stella from Winx Club, who could identify Flora by the smell of her perfume. From across a room. After Flora showered. And Stella was asleep when she picked up on the scent.

@@nicholasfarrell5981 Man I love Winx Club lmao
4:22 - I can't fault Kaiba for doing this, but it still doesn't make it right. Remember, if Kaiba lost this duel, Mokuba was guaranteed to be stuck inside of the Shadow Realm for eternity, and Kaiba would have been stuck knowing that it was all his fault he wasn't able to save Mokuba. Imagine your little brother, the brother you've been bonded to your entire life, a pair of orphaned children adopted by a father who didn't truly love you and pushed you to the bring of physically breaking down... Now imagine the only person you had during this whole time was your little brother, and he is the only thing who is able to keep you from going insane or jumping off the deep end. Now, imagine that said brother was held hostage, and you had to win your next fight or your brother, the only thing truly keeping you alive, will be killed...
Again, not right - but Kaiba wasn't doing it "just to win". He legit had nothing left if he lost.
Aaaand then Kaiba was all like "Haha Yugi Moto you lost I am better now" and you stop feeling sympathy for him
Mokuba wouldn’t have suffered that fate because Yami/Yugi would’ve freed him. Kaiba just has trouble trusting other people.
Pegasus sent a child to the shadow realm for eternity lmao
"and he is the only thing who is able to keep you from going insane or jumping off the deep end"
Interesting choice of words
What was his plan to defeat Pegasus if he even cannot beat Yugi? Besides, Yugi was informed about Pegasus' abilities and Kaiba did not.
in the manga when pegasus realises bandit kieth was cheating ge used his eye to turn kieths hand into a gun and made him shoot himself and it's a pretty brutal scene
it's a shame it isn't in the anime
In the anime Bandit Keith steals the bodyguards gun and Pegasus acts like an armed gunman is nothing.
Of course not. The states is ran by a bunch of pussy politics that blame the mass shootings they make on tv shows and video games.

The CRIM-n-L technically no if you listen they said that kaiba and Solomon had to give up their best card, so kaiba has ownership of the card at that time
It was never used in Solomon’s deck(he did keep it in a case, after all), so it’s technically not tampering with an opponent’s deck, and it was also wagered, so Kaiba owned it when he tore it up.
No because he won the cards respect I guess besides Solomon NEVER uesed the card only had a token frome provester aurther
In Zexal, Cheating went to a whole new Level. No, seriously, during the almost entire Series i was wondering two things: First, are these Kids alright in the Head? One sleeps in a tree, one walks over the street without looking, another one decides to ignore all Warning Signs and take a nice Walk over a Building Site... Its... Wow...
And the other thing was the Extreme Amount of Cheating, that was always let though. It was crazy.
I can't even list examples because my head starts spinning, thinking about it all.
But let's just say, I've barely ever seen harder Cheating than erasing your opponents Memories so he becomes a complete Noob at the Game you're playing right now. That was insane, yet just an random Example. Just an Example i say!!
@@nathantran9564 Kaiba kidnapped Solomon into a forced duel so it was cheating.
It would've been hilarious if after Marik said the incantation, Ra stayed on Mai's side of the field and she used it to crush him.
Or just:
Mai: hey Marik
Marik: what
Mai: WTF does this say
What if the wind blew Ra out of her hand and off the blimp
Mai got a bit cocky stealing Ra only descendants of the Egyptians can use them
It would be funny if Mark was waitting for Mai to summon Ra and she was just attacked him with her Harpy Lady
I thought you said that everyone on this list had lost, but Kaiba beat Yugi and HE won
I completely forgot about Kaiba XD
+TGS Anime lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
So, Kaiba's the best Yugioh cheater ever, heh
+Silvia Akemi nah it's Yugi
+Silvia Akemi money.
with the foreign text thing, if marik had a translation it would be just plain dumb, it would probably go like this:
mai: i steal the winged dragon of ra! i summon it to the field!
marik: hello, i know i’m evil and i’m basically a leader of a cult and i control people and illegally change there name to steve but that card has text from a different language, so here’s a translation :)

Imagine if Mai released it but it wouldn't obey her
9:20 Sort of a problem with this one, though... As unlikely as it is for her to be able to smell the fragrances of each individual card in her hand, being able to gauge what card is next in your deck would likely be impossible by this technique, alone. That's because of, well, what he said: the fragrances would overlap and mask each other. Especially if they are so faint an amount of perfume to prevent the overlap. If I'm correct in how she'd be able to do this, you'd functionally turn the cards into a form of "scratch 'n sniff," by dipping them in the perfume and allowing it to soak into the fibers. You'd then press on the card and squeeze the fibers from the center of the card to the edge, allowing the faint smell to waft out--at least that's the only way I can think of to make this possible... Of course, doing this would ruin such cards; because, the chemicals would likely do some nasty things to the ink on the cards. Furthermore, you can not use the perfume to gauge the next card while it's atop the deck; because, pressing down on the next card and then moving your fingers to the edge of the card means pressing down on your deck, and doing the same thing to the entire deck--which, in turn, means releasing the fragrance of multiple cards, which would also make the fragrance pretty strong, not only blocking you from reading the next card you draw, but also kicking up a STRONG stank aroma that would mask the deck, and perhaps even ruining the individual cards' fragrances. This could also explain how Joey ended up learning the truth to her mind games, if she got a little carried away with things, and pressed down against the deck...
HOWEVER! You're still correct for including Mai as a cheater for using her cards in this way.
Why? Because the use of markers of any kind on your cards is universally banned, no matter what kind of card game it is--from playing cards to trading cards; Poker to Yu-Gi-Oh! And as such, even if it's as a means of messing with people's heads, and not intended to be a cheating strategy of gauging your next card(s), it's still cheating.
Yeah , I remember an episode of CSI Miami ( I know not the most accurate show) but there was an episode where a lady marked her cards with an ink that she wore special lenses to see and that was the reason she an a bunch of people were shot because she ripped off the wrong dude
Ziegfried literally made a card indestructible just so he could destroy Kaiba Corp.
the card's effects were doctored from it's original text
Yugi beat it by having his deck have only 1 card left so he couldn't have discarded half
What about the time Siegfried hacked the Duel system to not only make legal a forbidden card to make Leonhart use it but also alterate its effect text to have an effect that it didn't originally have?
Yes!
It is Ziegfried.Hello?
Honerable mention to bones and the rest of bandit Keith's old crew. They were using zombie masks to scare people's locator cards. May not have happened during the duel, but I could argue causing duress to make your opponant concede the duel
I agree, they gotten all their locator cards that way, so if they did get 6 Kaiba would say we have zero recorded duels from you during the tournament so how do you have 6 locator cards them Um well you see, Kaiba you stole them didn't you get out of my Tournament You lost to Wheeler in DK you don't belong here
Or kidnapping people and luring them to a graveyard
He did let Baraka in, despite having one duel. So he would’ve let them in.
kaiba is the only one on this list who wins the duel because "screw the rules he has money"
You watched that one cringey video,didnt you?

The video was really good and funny.
And it is true though. Kaiba only win because he buy the op-nest cards he manage to get.

Yugi was the #1 cheater
Yuma was worse. Literally creating cards out of nowhere
Yuya is also kinda bad, remember episode 1?
Yuya is worse he created a summoning method out his Anus.
I think all main characters are cheaters because they can create cards mid dual from nothing. one ex for each: yugi his fusion between his dragon and dark magician girl, jaden fusion between neos and rainbow dragon that thing wouldn't be created as neo was in space so no reason to create a fusion that is not self sestina in the deck to start, yusai all stardust dragon except the original because their was only one copy of stardust, Yuma all utopias excepted the original, yuya all odd eyes dragons except the plain one including saber, brave, ruin, and beast
heart of the cards my ass lol
Bandit Keith could actually be considered to have cheated 3 times as after Bones looses to Joey, he steals all of his goons' star chips violating tournament rules.
Oh, more times than that. Keith was never a contestant in the first place. He had like 20 decks in his vest when you were only supposed to have 40 cards, and thus allowed Bones to have a much better deck.
@@kyuubinaruto17
And he stole Joey’s qualification card, too. Bandit Keith was a massive cheater.
He also stole Joey's entry card
He ain't called bandit for nothing
every time he broke a rule
-intruded into duelist kingdon
-smuggled atleast 12 decks extra in, at the bare minimum he had brought 520 cards if not more
-smuggled a freaking GUN in
-stole a bunch of stuff
-did the sleeve thingy
-tried shooting a man
-did that AGAIN
-took hostages
im honestly surprised he didn't go "here's my ace card" and just shot the opponent with his gun
8:53 Something else about the perfume: how was Joey able to smell it from clear across the arena? Perfume and cologne aren’t made to be smelled a mile away, it’s meant as an accent (one spritz on each side is enough, gentlemen. don’t overdo it). He’d either have to be much closer to Mai, or the smell would be so overpowering, he would’ve noticed it from the get-go.

Joey relying on luck based cards is his way to even the playing field up against opponents such as Yugi or Kaiba because he does not have access to the rare and powerful cards that they do because the ones he has he wins and he just throws together cards to make a deck overtime he does do some maintenance to his deck but still Joey’s greatest strength is his ability to improvise.
Odion cheated at a children’s card game and got struck by lightning…
6:46 so I guess that’s fair 😂

That was marik’s fault
The funny thing about Weevil cheating against Joey in Battle City is that Parasite Paracide already has the effect of shuffling itself into its opponent's deck in the actual game. Based on the rules of the TCG, he shouldn't have needed to sneak that into Joey's deck.
As someone who used to run Parasite Paracide many things could go wrong with it, the issue is unlike other flip effect cards, Parasite Paracide effect does not activate if the card is destroyed by battle.

Anime/manga rules and irl rules are not the same. Look at the first season. There were no tributing rules. A Blue Eyes could be summoned without tributing any monsters. Card effects were also different. Do a search on the Yugioh wikia. You'll find that some cards have an irl version and an anime and/or manga version. The Egyptian God cards in the anime are OP compared to their irl counterparts.
If Joey summoned Time Wizard in his Duel with Johnson and it landed on the time warp, Johnson probably would've made the arrow move to a skull.
Seto Kaiba, Episode 3 of the Toei series, he slips Solomon's Blue Eyes Dragon card, which he stole from Yugi, on top of his deck while in a drawing motion. You should see Season 0 if you haven't, it's fun.
Ah Season 0 aka the Season in which Yami/Atem is pretty much a pretty brutal anti-hero in the same vein as someone like Punisher, Berserker State Moon Knight, and Jason Todd after he first became Red Hood aka he puts bad-guys into Shadow Games and pretty much kills them in some pretty horrific ways when they lose via their cheating failing to help them beat Yami/Atem.
Couple of things:
1.) Pegasus did cheat besides his Millennium Eye. Though skipped in the dub, the video he sent to Yugi was edited to include frames of various cards while he watched the video, and then had to create a brand new deck for the duel. Those quick frames sent subliminal messages that influenced Yugi's new deck, giving Pegasus yet another advantage in the duel.
2.) Minor one this time, but must be said since you brought up the original version with Kaiba. Seeker/Rare Hunter had a deck of fake cards. The ink does in fact grant him the ability to know his next card, but the cards are as phony as Odion's Winged Dragon of Ra.
3.) Something else the dub changed that you should have included. Keith smashed the Millennium Puzzle under his own power. He believed the voices in his head were coming from the Puzzle. This is probably the lowest priority on the list, since the 4Kids edit to this episode actually brought the concept closer to the manga version than the Japanese anime.
nice observation
Ooo
no i watch the dub you made that up keyt never belvied the puzlze made the vocie come form has head it was marik who made ket smahs the puzzle ket neve did to do the vocie he made th epalce become on fire do to the vocies so your mskein gup tha tthat never happen int he dub

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the fact bandit keith stole the card joey needed to even take part in the finals. XD Oh, and le's not forget when he trapped everyone in a cave. Pretty low moves on his part. Otherwise, great video.
Not to mention he stole the stars to get to the finals in the first place from his goons
yeah agreed
@Aaron Bouman
That's technically cheater vs. cheater, though Pegasus used his Eye, which this video excluded from its cheat list because that's a Millennium Item.
Kieth wasn't dueling though
Bandit Keith also was part of the group that basically kidnapped Joey forced him to play against "Bones" then trapped the others in cave taking the stars they all gathered for himself.
Yeah Kidnapping him and bullying him into dueling and he loses everything and then traps him in cave with no escape
Mai is the best grill
I prefer Anzu/Tea (same girl), Miho (girl from Season Zero), that Chess Girl from Yugioh R, & Mana (Dark Magician Girl's creator) over Mai personally. That's just the Original Series though 5Ds adds Akiza & Mina.
What chess girl
yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Reiko_Kitamori
Got it,but I still like mai.
Seeing Kaiba threaten his own life against Yugi made me remember the abridged series. "Do it! Now's your chance!" "No, wait, there's a chance he may survive!"
I hated Kaiba's tactic of 'winning' that duel against Yugi, that was evil, even for him.
Also, I _totally_ called it with Bandit Keith being number one, he literally has 'BANDIT' in his name!
Seto Kaiba had to do that to save his brother especially after the BS Yugioh pulled.
Kaiba didn't cheat he call Yugioh Bluff or seen if Yugioh had the heart to kill him to win because Kaiba was showing he willing to die to save his brother.
So Kaiba played his last card by calling Yugioh Bluff after Yugioh pull some B.S with fusing Kaiba Monster with a undead Monster (which isn't possible) and the writer not allowing Kaiba Ultimate White Dragon to die once it was attack because Kaiba couldn't bring back his Ultimate White Dragon with Monster Reborn.
@@fantasymangacomicvisionary5688 I get tired of people trying to punch holes in the first season of Yugioh. In my opinion I wish the actual game was more like the first season of Yugioh Duel Monsters. It's better than the real life adaptation, that's for sure. You do realize that the first season was created long before any real life adaptation of Duel Monsters was created? The only reason monster abilities, and cards work differently from their anime counterparts is because Bandai/Konami had to adapt the game of Duel Monsters to a real life setting where we lack interactive hologram's of monsters that react to everything. With real life adaptations come limitations, and more rules to balance the game. The first season of Duel Monsters is how the game was supposed to be imagined, because the writer of the manga intended for the game to be very multidimensional, whereas the real life adaptation is very set in stone. New cards, and combinations were being created on the spot for each episode to keep the anime interesting, even after the first season. The real life versions of those cards arrived after the fact, and had to somewhat loosely replicate their anime/manga capabilities. Technically we are the ones that play the game the wrong way, because the manga and anime came first. Fusing an undead monster to a living Blue Eyes causing it to rot is actually really cool for the anime, and it makes sense. Just because the real life adaptation of the card game doesn't work that way doesn't mean it's cheating, or B.S. It's just a completely different version of the game.
@@donavonhoward114 I wish the game was strategically like Battle City (the best arc) taking whatever card you choose after defeating someone and all.
But my favorite Duel within season 1 was clearly Yugioh Vs Seto (top 5 overall) and I didn't have a problem with Yugioh using a Perfect Defense to stop Seto OP Monster or Yugioh using something to fuse with Seto Monster killing it slowly to attack and overcoming Seto Virus Card if it a plot hole or not (in fact it was Awesome). But them having Seto Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon not be killed after it was weaken enough to be killed, but instead just have Yugioh Monster just chop one of his heads off was ridiculous. They basically wanted to make sure Yugioh look like he allowed Seto Kaiba to win when in fact if Yugioh Monster would've destroyed Seto Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon like it was suppose to instead of just chop one of it's head off, then Kaiba would've won straight-up because he had a Monster Reborn to bring his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon back totally unfazed.
Is it evil though? He was doing it to save his young brother, knowing if he lost his brother was basically dead he didn't want to live knowing his younger brother would be gone forever. It's actually quite sad imo, he wasn't doing it because winning, he was doing it to save the only person at that point Kaiba actually deeply cared about.
You didn't point that Bandit Keith wasn't invinited and he stole star chips from his lackeys and he stole Joey's fortune card.
Joey wasn’t invited either. But the guy at the boat said no star chips, no getting on the boat. So I guess it’s ok to join in as long as you have star chips
@Aaron Bouman he's Canadian
Don't forget Weevil cheated by reading the new rules for the Duelist Kingdom tournament before you were supposed to find out about it, and tried to use the knowledge of the field power bonus to beat Yugi.
If you include Millenium Powers, Yugi is the biggest cheater. He is able to draw any card from his deck through sheer force of will as shown in many episodes, and confirmed in the final duel between yugi and big yugi.
There weren't any rules 🤣
4:58 I once gave myself a wicked paper cut with a Yugioh card. I was like 12. I’m sure there’s someone on this earth who can accidentally unalive themselves with a trading card.
Atem: "I AM the rules."
anyone else think this vid was about actual tourney cheaters?
Madwizard145 yeah
i did
I might've if I hadn't seen Bandit Keith in the thumbnail
I didn't know Yugi could fly but he straight up flew over to where Arcana was lol. Great video! I'm happy to be subbed.
4:05 If I remember right in the sub the cards were not only marked, they were also fakes and that's why Yugi rips them up.
Yeah they changed in the dubbed. It’s actually counterfeit. So technically it’s only yugi have use the real exodia cards.
5:29 honestly it just proves how complex but in a way noble seto is since he is basically proving that mokuba means more to him than his own life.
Lol if you tell that to a girl that if you dont go out with him you would kill yourself then she would probably say "okay good luck"
yeah lol
One that should have been on this list is Zigfried from the grand championship.
As a rival to Kaibas company, he entered the tournament in the hopes of winning the tournament and making his company over through Kaiba corp. And even worse, brought along his brother Leon as a tool for his scheme.
The cheating part is when he gives Leon a card to use against Yugi in the final match, and the card is a field spell called "the golden castle of Stromberg". But this card was actually never fully developed, as it was considered too strong and overpowered for the game. It was an illegal card. But with some hacking skill, Zigfried was able to make the duel disk recognize it as a legal card, and if that wasn't bad enough, Zigfried also added his own sick twists to how the card works.
・ During each of your Standby Phases, send half the cards in your Deck to the Graveyard. If you cannot, destroy this card.
・ Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1, Special Summon 1 random Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position.
・ You cannot Normal Summon or Set monsters.
・ All monsters Special Summoned by this card's effect and all monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able.
・ When an opponent's monster declares an attack, destroy that monster, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of that monster's ATK.
・ This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of other Spells, Traps, or Effect Monsters.
・ Your opponent must pay this card's maintenance cost.
But that's not all, it also released a virus into Kaiba corp systems to delete all its data.
Yeah. It sounds pretty overwhelming and impossible to beat. It also didn't help that Leon was absolutely against cheating once he realized what the card does, and felt heartbroken knowing Zigfried was just using him for revenge.
Luckily, working together with Yugi, they were able to destroy the castle, with a tactic no one could have ever expected. With only one card in Yugis deck, the castle gets destroyed, and ultimately, brings Zigfrieds revenge scheme to an end.
wow what a dick. thanks 4 the info.
Every main character:” no card is useless”
Yugi:”Rips up whole deck anyways”
They were marked.
Nice list, but you actually left out a few instances of cheating for a number of characters, specifically Weevil and Bandit Keith.
Weevil did discard Exodia and he did get that kid to sneak a card into Joey's deck, but he also abused his position as the Duel Monsters regional champion to access the Duelist Kingdom rulebook before anybody else, thereby giving himself an unfair advantage coming into the competition. Bandit Keith got Bonz and his friends to duel Joey and gave them pointers from the sidelines, trapped Yugi and his friends in a cave using a giant boulder, betrayed his associates by beating them up and stealing their star chips, and then snatched Joey's tournament card so that he could automatically win their scheduled match in the semi-finals (particularly as he didn't have a card of his own).
That thing about Weevil stealing the tournament rulebook was a dub-ism. In the manga that was simply a perk of being the champion. He got a sneak peak at the new rules.
4:00 Not to be pedantic, but this is explained better in the original Japanese cut and the manga: those three copies of Exodia were actually forgeries, setting the stage for later in the arc where Marik tries forging the Winged Dragon of Ra. I don't know why 4Kids dropped that detail, but it's the real reason Yami destroys the Exodia cards.
WRONG about Bandit Keith, heh, he cheated three times in a duel, if you read the manga Yugioh R, he has a rematch against Joey and tried to do the same tactic of a card in his wristband, however much to his (and not to mention the readers) surprise, the duel disk would not accept it and set out an alarm, the duel disk would only accept cards it registered as being draw, no idea how that works but hey LOL
Karina probably updated the system to sense the weight of the deck and know the phases as well as when a card effect activates that prevents/allows draws. Since the weight sensors didn't recgonize that the deck weight changed when Keith "drew", it activated the sensor.
wait, zigfried is not on this list? he actually made the biggest cheat with golden castle of stromberg which was a card like if you play it you win
Same but Leon played the golden castle of strombeg
Emre Ekinci No, he put a virus into the card's data that, when played it would start deleting all of Kaiba Corps files & data, so everyone would leave Kaiba & join his company.
the thing was, Zigfried was the one who edited the effect of it. The original effect was all of the power effects, but YOU had to pay for the effect, not your opponent.
No Bgs I agree he made it into the cards data witch made it op and since he didn't make shenigains like protagonist do in yugioh however it was illegal and he made it legal by hacking witch would be a form of cheating
I'm happy you didn't include Pegasus here.
Majority of people call him a cheater, when he literally has the power to read mines thanks to the millennium eye of his.
Esporoba (or whatever his name is) REALLY cheated by pretending he can read minds, and everyone around him was shocked and excited.
Pegasus literally has this power, genuinely, yet people still call him a cheater
I don't see people call Yugi, Bakura, or Marik cheaters when they are using THEIR millennium items powers to get better and win duels (And if they didn't pull out that big bs against his Relinquished and against his room world, he would also win against Yugi).
Respect
People call Marik a cheater. Though he also more tangibly cheated by using banned cards and not just magic shenanigans
I think Panik should've been in the list of Yugioh cheaters, or at least be a dishonourable mention, because he was psychologically messing with Mai by scaring her into defeat and tried doing the same to Yami Yugi, plus he basically kidnapped Mai, forced her into a duel (and who knows what else he did or tried to do to Mai), and tried to basically kill Yami Yugi by trying to literally roast him alive
Panik didn’t really cheat, he just taunted and tried to intimidate his opponents as well as went overboard with threatening to burn Yugi. He lost his cool when they no longer fear him, Panik wasn’t much of a cheater as he was actually just a brutal and sadistic psychopath.
who else noticed in the first episode, that seto kaiba summoned 3 blue eyes without tributing any monster cards
+MariojoeyGaming I'm pretty sure that the rules in the first season of the second series anime were based on the prototype rules. Which didn't include tributes.
Kaiba: Screw the rules! I got money!
MarioJoey Exodia wins you the duel when all 5 are in the hand. Yugi summons all 5 in the monster zone in the same turn. Just saying.
That was before battle city rules.
I'm not entirely sure, if Marick cheated with his duel with Mai, I mean, she took the card but unable to use it because of the text.
But we must consider a few things as well:
1. Marick has the original God card in his deck, meaning it's the one and only 'Winged dragon of Ra' god card.
2. Pegasus himself, couldn't decipher the original text of the 'Winged Dragon of Ra' from the stone tablet into the card so he kept the text as is, so that only the REAL master of the card can release the power of the god card.
3. Marick also explained that the wordings on the card itself are Hieroglyphic text, which was used by ancient Egyptian priests. Also his clan are guardians of the Pharaoh's tomb, so technically they know how to read the text.
4. The God cards can ONLY be wielded by duelists that are seen by the gods as worthy ... given the anime point of view ...
Even when Rex and Weevil stole the God cards, they'll just get roasted by the gods if they were dumb enough to even be thinking of using them. I was hoping to see other cheaters from other Yugioh animes but I guess that would be spoilers for people who've yet to watch the rest of the series..... BUTT ..... I 1000% agree that the #1 cheater spot belongs to ... 'Bandit Keith' ... no questions asked, RIP that guy where ever he is....
However: (Spoiler)
I do question why 'Ziegfried' isn't even on this list. I think he was trying to use a card that has doctored effects changed on it's text during his duel with Kaiba but lost before he could even use it so he gave it to his brother during his duel with Yugi ... either way, his brother still lost due to the card's Hiccup on it's text restrictions.
In the manga kiba literally says "go ahead yugi, slit my throat"
About the Seto Kaiba one, in the manga at least, he didn't intend to threaten Yugi with suicide in order to win. He just didn't see the point of living anymore if he couldn't save Mokuba and actually encouraged Yugi to finish him off. Seto is a pretty extreme boy.
I feel like the anime butchered most of the characters' stories and psychology.
At the very least 4Kids did, I mean look at what they’ve done to every other series they worked on:
Winx Club had them remove that one solo fairy companions entire gimmick of referencing stuff like Spider-Man and renamed the actual concept of Magic and the groups name to actually be Winx (it’s JUST the girl groups name)
In Pokémon they are SO afraid of using the actual culture the series hails from they renamed the obvious rice balls into…jelly donuts (whilst STILL leaving them look NOTHING like donuts)
Then there’s their complete aversion to acknowledging any religion to the point of absurdity such as changing EVERY 6 pointed star sign into a 5 pointed one
And yes this is a very old comment but I kinda wanna make my point ckear
Arkana was the best villain duelist. It sucks because the villain duelists start dropping off in skill after him. Marik's skill was overhyped and Yami Bakura always has some risky complexed scheme that sacrifices a bunch of life points. Arkana was one of the few dualists that flustered the Pharaoh. It was only when Arkana started sacrificing his own monsters recklessly did the Pharaoh gain extra motivation and also saw a flaw. Up to that point he was completely outwitted. Normally the dualist that the Pharaoh is facing has some grand plan and he figures out how to beat it. However Arkana sort of did random stuff and never really had one big strategy that the Pharoah could key in on.
I sooo agree. Plus, I love the way they interact with each other. Yami's comment about Arcana's shuffling style is cute. The 2 could've been friends for sure had things been different
Yami outright made up rule effects on the fly because this was planned to be an anime before someone got the big idea to make it into an actual game that actually is supposed to be fair and stuff.
To be fair everyone made up rules. "Oh your moon buff raises the tides to make my sea creatures stronger", "my harpys fly so they automatically beat monsters who cant", "my monsters are brought to life by call of the hunted so killing them just revives them to be even stronger"
Yeah like the duelist kingdom arc was more like an rpg battle thing where you used cards to battle each other, hence why stuff like fields and attributes had loads of effects
That "someone" is kazuki takahashi himself bud
@@Rurike Love how these speeches sound like love confessions🤣
Bandit Keith. The best cheater in the entire series!
Only in American.
in America
Every country in the world belongs to America!
I don't understand you can you speak american
Bandit Keith, the secret Canadian named Steve
I'm surprised that this countdown hasn't been revisited yet. I'd loved to see countdowns focusing on the cheaters in every Yu-Gi-Oh series.
*Weevil throws Exodia cards*
Weevil: Goodbye Exodia hehe!!
*Atem comes out*
Atem: Am I a Joke to you!!
I dont get the joke
@@shirogwyn5952 Yami yugi can draw any card he wants with his powers so he is more op then exodia.
About number 7, the Exodia Rare Hunter, in the Japanese dub we learn that all the Exodia cards he's using, along with a lot of the other rare cards used by the Rare Hunters are fakes. They acquire the cards and make a ton of copies of them.
"She could smell which card she'd get next" is something I didn't expect to hear today.
Mai’s Perfume is just her using the skill Aroma Strategy
I’m extremely glad that Yugi/Yami wasn’t on this list. He never cheated, it only seems like he/they did because the opponent was the real cheater. Like in the battle between Pegasus, people say he wasn’t supposed to summon the magician of black chaos without sacrificing three monsters. This is incorrect. Pegasus had a cheat card in his deck that in the original, was to be used. Sadly, 4kids removed this extra dramatic scene, and made it to where Yugi/Yami had to cheat to win. (They overall deleted the scene in the original, so it’ll be hard to find it).This is technically cheating, but not at the same time. If in the original he didn’t cheat, but in the remake he did, what would that be? And before you say it’d NOT be cheating, then why don’t I add this bit of info: the scene never aired, it never happened. Would this be cheating? I’m struggling, please reply and tell me what you think. A large explanation would be nice....and great video!! I skipped through to look for Yugi, and was happy he wasn’t in.....great work!
I think you missed Duke Devlin. The trivia on the episode info for Dungeon Dice Monsters parts 2 and 3 say so. He conveniently withheld info of some key rules of the game from Yugi most importantly how the dungeon pathway plays out. Also you're forgetting the guys from Team Catastrophe in the World Racing Grand Prix in 5Ds. Their idea of taking down their opponents was using an illegal shadow card called Hook The Hidden Knight to look their opponents' back wheels and causing them to fall seriously injuring them.
speaking of 5ds, z-one was also a cheater because he activated traps from his hand (or maybe it was part of his traps' effects)
You forgot Takasu(Mr. Armstrong) who uses surveillance cameras to spy on Yusei's hand
@@jericmagnaye2705 don't forget Armstrong also rigged his duel disk so that it's static generator wouldn't shock him when he took damage. Good thing Alex snuck into the power room and levelled the playing field.
@@mattbartels also the members of team catastrophe who uses cards of darkness to crash their opponents
FYI, on #10 the saw was kill him. The "sent to the Shadow Realm" thing was just 4kids censoring in that instance.
Yeah, I have to agree. The Shadow Realm is more or less Heaven/Hell/Purgatory, huh?
No. The Shadow Realm was an actual thing in the Japanese version still, but in this case the saw was just being used to murder.
+NDogg15 the manga came first and therefore trumps the anime where the saw would have cut off his leg
Its really more of a purple realm.
Nintendofan_92 Uh...
Bandit keith also stole his starchips to get into the duelist kingdom finals. He also stole Joey's qualication card.
“My Valentine”. I see you.
I would love to see "when yugioh players did illegal things", like actual illegal stuff, attempted murder, theif, gambling, assault. Stuff like that time in season 1 with the flamethrowers and the, I think they called him, star hunters
That video would just be events from season 0/before Duelist Kingdom since Yami used to just kill criminals via penalty games. In his first duel with Kaiba he actually put him through a shadow game similar to the stuff Marik later did with Joey where he felt his monsters' deaths.
@@limonbattery yeah I’ve seen season 0, I really like it to be honest. Did you know there was a couple movies made during that era? Last one I saw was about a kid finding Red eyes black dragon, great movie. I actually have some of the cards. Exodia set and 3 blue eyes white dragons I use in my casual deck. (Old exodia turn 1 deck using the blue eyes engine). I always have to ask permission every time I use since the cards are technically legal lol)
@@austinwilburn1772 I only know of that one with Meteor Black Dragon. This stuff was before I was born and I obviously wasn't exposed to the Japanese side of Yugioh growing up. Cool that you have old cards like that still.
In the dub I believe they were just called Eliminators, and due to Pegasus being so powerful, even if he did set someone on fire (like he tried to do to Yugi) it'd only be arguably illegal. Unless death occurs as a result, bodily harm could be considered part of the tournament's risks you consent to
What about Joey summoning the faming swordsman as a regular monster
Adrian Ramirez Thats probally for plot
Adrian Ramirez actually if you watch the show it is a normal monster in the anime
My guess is that they can play cards if they have them while cards like black skull dragon they dont have so it just polys it together.
Also Pegasus Crawford explained that there is no tribute summon, and no direct attacks so if that was true then fusions wouldnt matter so long as they have the card
Back then you could do that
doesn't count... another case of an old card being printed different later.
Early Yugi : manipulate the rules to advance the plot
Later Yugi : insanely specific card scenarios to advance the plot
For #5, I feel an exception could be made for the foreign language cards as presumably ALL of the God cards are in Egyptian, and since Kaiba is using one, it could be seen as not being against the rules in his tournament.
Also for #3, you wouldn't need 40 different types of perfume, just one for each different card. And presumably, like you said, all the smells would mix when in her deck, so it probably wouldn't give as much of an advantage, if any.
Actually, only Ra is in Egyptian.
