- ALMOST 6 YEARS LATER... The Yu-Gi-Oh Timeline has always been convoluted, but I propose we have a full-fledged multiverse on our hands when it comes to the many Yu-Gi-Oh anime, manga, and movies... I hope you all enjoy my Yu-Gi-Oh Multiverse theory AKA Timeline Part 2!! :)

THE YU-GI-OH MULTIVERSE THEORY (Timeline Part 2) - บันเทิง

Rest in peace kazuki Takahashi thank you for the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise we will all have u in our hearts forever.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
एऊ
You really want attention don't you huh
Great work on this Dylan!
But you missed one important manga: Transcend Game, the special two-chapter prequel manga that bridges the DM manga with DSOD. This manga shows Kaiba developing Duel Links, so the events in Duel Links can be considered canon to the manga timeline.
if it was then how wodo paradox eixst he not in manga timeline but is in duel links
@@ssjgotenks2009 because Trascend the Game states that there minds that are above others or trascends other and when those minds are linked to others they are able to reach the minds of other dimensions (which gave us a multiverse of dimensión) and enter new worlds (Kaiba's endgame to see the Atem whose soul is resting in a different dimensión).
Duel Link was created to link minds and create (or recreate) a world with them and the memories of the players (that's why dead characters can return)
Also Duel Links evolving into Link VRAINS is a really good theory that could back up his claim of VRAINS being in the manga timeline, i mean come on both have Link in their names and are virtual realities made for dueling
Kazuki Takahashi created something special with Yu-Gi-Oh. Yu-Gi-Oh has been such a big influence on my life with it's story, characters and art. While I may not play the card game anymore... I still love the Yu-Gi-Oh anime and manga a lot and I'm thankful for this series being apart of my life. Thank you Kazuki Takahashi, you're a real legend. Rest In power, king 👑
Im sure we'll get some answer about the multiverse when the Vrains World comes out at the end of september. Also It was confirmed that Kaiba created Duel Links (I got this information from Kaiba DSOD's character description and the manga preview of DSOD). And I think it's too soon to include Go Rush in the timeline/multiverse since we don't know much about the show
Great work of the new timeline/multiverse theory. You could also add Season 0 and the 1999 movie to the mix of it being a separate timeline as it has notable differences with the manga with the biggest difference being the inclusion of Miho Nosaka into the main cast.
I think the R Manga was forgotten, too.
I would like to share some informations I gathered throughout the years about some *official* dates and placement in the timeline. Because believe it or not, I do believe we actually have canon placements for most of them. In a very interesting fashion, every dates matches up quite nicely with one another.
First of all, Duel monsters starts in the beginning of the second Japanese school year of yugi. The year has been referred as being 1996 in Numerous newspapers in multiple chapters. Since the characters start wearing their summer uniform in chapter 41, we can deduce everything prior to that including death T must have taken place from April (beginning of Japanese school year) to June 1996. However, the year 1997 is printed on the yo-yos of the thugs in chapter 48, indicating there has been a large time gap between the two and we are now likely in winter 1997. Right after that comes Bakura's shadow RPG arc in chapter 51.
It is safe to assume Duelist kingdom takes place in the span of three days at some points during their spring vacation, meaning end of March to beginning of April, since not only do they not go to school, but also because the short arc that follows (the dungeon dice monsters arc), is the start of a new school Year seeing Ryuji Otogi as a new student.
In yugioh duelist chapter 87, when Yugi and Jonouchi are in the hospital following their encounter with Ryuji, we see a glimpse of a newspaper indicating an upcoming event to take place between August 23rd and August 25th, so during their summer holiday. Battle city then takes place a few days afterwards only, and lasts around 2 days. This then checks out, since the gang literally goes back to school on September 1st, one day later. They then wait for the end of their school week, so Friday 5th at night, to go to the museum and relive the Pharaoh's memories in the millenium world arc. We then know the ceremonial duel takes place a month after (as indicated at the end of chapter 337), in October.
Quite geniusly, everything matches up with the information of Dsod taking place six months later, in March 1998, where yugi and everyone are seen graduating high school.
Then, I do have a grip with GX's placement on your timeline, as I don't think the ten year gap has ever been officialized in any way in the original version. However, we actually do get a hindsight on Judai's school file during GX episode 156 (when the principal looks at the sheets of the missing students), and we are given the year in which Judai integrated Duel academy: 2004. Meaning GX takes place from 2004 to 2007. We also learn from episode 52 that school years at duel academia start in October.
Otherwise, that's a super interesting video! I never would have thought of Zexal taking place in a future where zone wins, or the arc v manga being canon to the Anime. As someone passionate by these kind of stuff, I cannot thank you enough for what you've done, and would love to see more of it (like a duel links timeline, it really does sound interesting)
Don’t forget when Yusei and Jaden time travel to Yugi’s time and defeat Paradox together. This all happens in the Bonds Beyond Times movie,between the year 1996 and 1998
@@amarsabedini that's the anime... I was mostly talking about the Manga, since there is no way to really tell when the Anime takes place
YES THANK YOU everyone seems to miss that tidbit for the GX timeline placement for the dates of enrollment and graduation
@@bigfish5544 oh ok I understand
That would actually make sense as in 5ds when team ragnarok is dueling team 5ds u can see a banner showing the year is 2022
As someone who's only seen DM, GX, and 5ds. these videos are my main exposure to the later sequel series, and by god this gets complex, huh. Props for making it all comprehensible. Who would have thought card game shows would require this much puzzling out to fit together
5Ds is 2021 in ep 74 their is a billboard that says it.
Well, all of this series require a little boy with 3-colored crazy hairstyle to fit all the pieces of millenium puzzle together
Zexal could be apart of the original timeline where Yusei finds something to replace the D energy which ends up being Anti Matter aka Xyz. We don't see synchros and thus don't see Stardust as a legendary monster because it reminds people of the terror synchros and the energy produced. At least that's my theory
Your comment is actually said in spellcommander91's yugioh timeline video, but in different way
Synchros never caused terror though because they prevented that future
Duel links is connected to many worlds and a lot of characters investigate this. Trey even brought up the fact that no one ever heard of Kaibacorp in his world. This also kind of shows that duel links is connected to other worlds even if Kaibacorp doesn’t develop it
Rest in peace, Takahashi. You created something amazing.
Duel Links is like a central hub for Yu-Gi-Oh past, present and future
Kaiba you genius madlad
Presen and future ;
Docto strange would read this comment one day
In Gx Episode 156 the Principal is going through some student files and it says that Zane graduated in 2004 and Jaden and Bastion started Duel Academy in 2004, so Gx is probably taking place from 2004 to 2007, Zero Reverse takes place 17 years before 5ds starts , so 5ds takes probably place in 2024
In japanesse I believe there is an episode where Judai/Jaden and Cyrus/Sho are watching a computer or tablet or something where they read a chat or news and the year 2003 appears, so maybe season 1 started in 2003.
GX ends on 2004, the files on that episode says all of them were lost on 2004 and their student status, obviously Zane is the only one of those that are shown that is a graduated student, so GX happends between 2001 and 2004 since that was already half of the last year of Judai. So if GX happens 10 years after DM (the begining of GX from the begining of DM) then DM starts about 1991, then we have the battle of Yusei vs Antinomy in 5Ds Episode 74 and there is shown a "Dairy" letter that says "2021", and this could mean nothing than just a name of milk but here's the trick, in Japanese they doesn't use the "L" word but the "R" to name somethings and I know that doesn't happens always but sometimes, so I believe this means "Daily" instead of "Dairy" and makes more sense because at this point in 5Ds had pased 6 months after the Dark Signers incident and all since the Fortune Cup arc could have happened in the same year then we could say 5Ds starts at the begining of 2021, and fits with GX because in 5Ds the Zero Reverse happened 17 years ago, so it was around 2004, probably by the end of 2004 just months after the end of GX...
Then we have DM should be from around 1991, GX from 2001 to 2004, 5Ds from around the start of 2021 and this fits logically with Ushio that is the same in DM and 5Ds, so doing some maths from his aperance at the start of DM when he was probably 15 years old to his aperance in 5Ds he would have around 45 years old and to me it fits very well... Until 5Ds introduces ancient Synchros like they where always a thing since ancient times but this could be the effects of the Illiaster time travels since they where there in the events of Zero Reverse so almost all of 5Ds time line past was a mess up because of Illiaster. Something similar I could say about ZEXAL but instead Illiaster the thing making the XYZ's to exist since the ancient times would be the Numeron Code used sometime before ZEXAL begins.
At least is what I believe that makes sense. I mean, even in the Arc-V manga and anime they could re-write the past with Zarc or Genesis Omega Dragon or what do you think?
16:26 your wrong, Ushio(officer trough) does apper in the 5ds manga. he is first seen in ride 09 page 2 next to aki, and sherry. he just doesn't duel
Yeah when i got to that point i was like wait a minute he does appear! I doubled checked and he does! Appeared next to the contestants plus he gets off screen dueled by a few players. So I think we can put this as he says the same time as the anime but ofc in the manga timeline. That's my thoughts on that though
Y'all need to rewatch ep 74 of 5Ds its 2021.
Kaiba actually created the duel links world, confirmed in Yu-Gi-Oh Transcend Game which was a manga that took place after the original manga and before DSOD, written by TK. It never got an official english translation so it's lesser known, but it's cool how you predicted the link between DSOD and Vrains.
13:54 According to the Yugioh Wiki, Bonds Beyond Time seems to come before the Crash Town arc. It also states that Bruno being present in Yusei's thoughts is evidence that it takes place after episode 82 of 5D's (since episodes 81 and 82 are almost immediate follow-ups from episode 80, where Yusei meets him for the first time).
Adding onto Dylan's theory: ArcV's Anime being its own universe is backed up by Duel Links, as it mainly pulls from the anime and builds upon it. Since Seto Kaiba canonically designed and built Duel Links in-universe, Duel Links itself can be considered canon. The Legacy Characters that appear in ArcV don't recognize Yuya when he duels them in Duel Links, basically confirming that ArcV's anime as a whole is an AU.
Reiji/Declan also mentioned in his Unlock Event that Duel Links is a world that connects to other worlds/dimensions, with his "and a world we know nothing about..." quote likely referring to the DM/DSOD worlds since he linked GX to Fusion, 5D's to Synchro, and Zexal to XYZ. Or it was placed there as foreshadowing to VRAINS world getting added next. If you feel like going for stretches, it could also imply that OUR world is also connected to Duel Links, supported by the fact that we can log in and play there like the characters can.
I know Dylan didn't touch on Duel Links much in the video, I just wanted to include some Duel Links Lore™ anyway since I figured it was relevant to the theory as a whole (I also just wanted to share some of my knowledge since I'm a long-term Duel Links player that still actively plays the game).
My personal theory as to why the Legacy Characters are the way they are in ArcV is: When Z-ARC split the worlds into the different dimensions, they took similar paths to their respective Main Timeline counterparts (DM for Standard, GX for Fusion, 5D's for Synchro and Zexal for XYZ), hence why they look the way they do. Their histories would also be similar except for 1 Key Factor: the respective protagonists and antagonists of those worlds NEVER EXISTED. Because of this, a butterfly effect happened where the friends and rivals of those protags ended up becoming different characters entirely, as well as the dimensions going somewhere unrecognizable to the Main Timeline.
Atem and Astral are directly linked to Yugi and Yuma respectively, so anything related to them also never existed by extension. That means Standard never had to deal with the Millennium Items and their Shadow Games. Fusion never had to deal with the Sacred Beasts, Yubel, or the Duel Spirit Dimension, so Duel Academy was just a normal duel school until Leo showed up. Zero Reverse never happens, so Synchro's equivalent to Satellite ended up being underneath what is effectively Neo Domino City instead. Xyz never had to deal with Numbers, so Heartland is just a normal city that focuses on XYZ Summoning. There's no direct confirmation to any of these last two paragraphs, it's just a theory based on existing knowledge.
Before duel links was released we had DSOD prequal chapters. Duel links was made by kaiba in there and this is why dsod is a world. It's world 0.
Actually, ArcV is the last chapter of OG YGO. Following the same timeline as its predecessors. ArcV happens about the end of Zexal, and Zexal happens at same time 5Ds does. That's why we don't have any mention to Yusei and Synchros in Roku's house. The Duel Links characters are mostly from another 'another' universe, that's shown during the last Paradox event, when Yugi says to Atem that they'd never seen Yusei or Jaden before, but their memories from other universes 'sync.' with the Duel Links universe, probably the manga one.
Edit: The legacy characters in ArcV are the same as their OG counterparts, but they're from post universe split/reboot by Rei and Zarc.
@@brenukkyyuukary3215 only hope tp see rirei ( ray ) and zOne there so declan goes to Kc on th past
The multiverse concept is perfect for any form of art. It really ties all the loose ends and can be a good tool for endless profit.
[Spoilers for Code Geass]
Code Geass was over 15 years ago, but because of the alternate timeline changing some of the events, now there could be more new sessions and movies for fans to enjoy.
Nice video all the way man.
I woke up to a flood of folk telling me this vid had dropped. Absolutely phenomenal work, man! Now I wanna go back and change parts of mine 😆
I still feel like your timeline is mostly correct and less complex than this one.
Man this was a long awaited video and it definitely delivered. The amount of work and time put innto it is evident and the hard work definitely paid off. Great Job Dylan and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Regarding GX's placement on the timeline, during the final episode of season 3 of GX we actually see on Chancellor Shepard's papers that Judai began studying at Duel Academy in 2004, meaning GX actually begins in 2004 and ends in 2007. Regardless, this is a great video; keep up the good work!
27:32 Yes, there is one. Duel Links is an actual virtual world Kaiba created, as shown in Transcend Game.
Actually GX only takes place across three years cause Asuka says during her graduation speech in season 4 that they arrived at the school three years ago. Sho also says in the first episode of season 4 that it’s only a month after they returned from the Yubel arc. Season 3 & 4 are in the same year.
Just to slim down some of the early timeline: GX officially starts in the year 2004. In one scene there is a computer with Zane and Jaden's files pulled up, and they confirm 2004 is Zane's graduation year as well as Jaden's first year, being Season 1. Placing GX 7or 8 years after Duel Monsters, depending hiw long the show went for. The file also confirms that Duel Academy is only the Japanese standard 3 years instead of the typical 4 years, meaning seasons 3 and 4 take place in the same year, 2007.
There is also no official date for the Zero Reverse Incident, for all we know it could have happened the same year as GXs ending, only that it had to be after, since Domino City is seen in GX and unscathed. Only note on the main events of 5Ds, is apparently there are some billboards that have the year 2021 on them, but I haven't found them, and that wouldn't quite track with Yusei's age, meaning its at least 17 years after 2007 at least. Unless Yusei was more than a year old by the time of Zero Reverse.
19:07 " I have a real issue putting up the ZeXal mangas on..."
I see what you did there 😆
You can really feel the passion Dylan poured into this video
Great job Dylan
It’s been a long time coming but it was definitely worth it!thank you dylan!
Glad to see to you work on this massive timeline after so long, it was a fun watch. few complaints:
You didnt mention the DSoD Animanga promo that takes place before the events of DSoD.
Pyramid of Light (according to the dub so honestly this could be argued) takes place 3 years after the events of yugioh. Characters constantly reference that kaiba has been losing to yugi for three years. While this is an innocuous detail, you could argue this story takes place on a branching path where lil yugi lost the ceremonial duel, and thus they were never separated. At the very least its more interesting that way.
I feel like if Zexal and 5Ds are on a timeline split, it would be after GX. In the anime, turbo dueling is completely absent, and in the manga the rules of it have completely changed to remove speed spells. So there are too many inconsistencies than just a lack of synchros for yliaster to be the cause there.
I honestly always missed the mention of 3 years. This is actually kinda scary because this idea for a timeline split is also what people theorize for the capsule monster arc, so it is possible these two things legit take place in the same timeline-split in the dub continuity.
What a great video Dylan!
The idea of the arc v manga being on the anime timeline is insane.
Glad the videos finally out, though sad the era of you getting roasted for the delays on talking yugioh podcasts may be over
It’s finally here! Great job man and happy birthday 🎉
Im glad it took you so long, cuz MA GOD i believe 98% of everything you said on this timeline theory. Amazing work Dylan!
Even though i've completely disconnected from the anime, manga and tcg/ocg community, but i'm glad i've stayed on your community to this day.
Hopefully i'll be able to catch one of your twitch streams again and check how's it going!
I love these videos, so much content and so much lore and I’m only half way through
Awesome work again Dyl. Loved the new Timeline/Multiverse Theory vid.
I think Sevens and Go Rush parallel universes tho GR seems to take place in the early late 70s to early 80's due to the technology we see used (Also London wears bellbottom pants which where popular in the 70's)
Ps. pls post or link a pic of your timeline (Preferably with a water mark)
Love the video Dylan keep up the great work man
FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE DAY YOU SAID YOU WERE WORKING ON IT
Bonds beyond time takes place POST Yusei meeting Sherry and PRE Crash Town arc, and this is a hill I’ll die on lol, in the movie Yusei thinks about everyone he knows and you can see Kiyu with his hair shorter meaning that’s how Yusei sees him which is different than his Crash Town look where he has the long hair, BUT Sherry is included in this scene
also wasn't Bruno present in that same scene?
Maybe he just remembers Kallen that way? Whenever I think about my brothers, I imagine their most iconic general look, not their current selves
OMG I loved it! Amazing job Dylan!
Thank you Dylan, you are the only one capable of making sense of the YGO timeline. It's a really good work you gave us.
Excellent video Dylan, that's some wild stuff!
Congratulations on finishing this!!
You should probably check the "TRANSCEND GAME" manga, it was basically a prequel to DSoD. Ironically it also showcases Kaiba working on VR system that is basically a prototype of Duel Links(the game)/Link Vrains, and coincidentally it was also called Duel Links.
Not coincidentally. Kaiba tubs duel links this has been cannon since day 1. Hence KC cup
I love the fact that someone is trying to theorize the timeline of the anime when the official writers don’t even bother with the timeline placement anymore.
Have any of those writers even take creative writing in college?
I like how after ArcV, they simply said "Ok, we are done trying to push in connections, we are just going to reuse the DsoD-background to save costs and make it selfcontained".(Because there is nothing concrete about it that confirms it being part of the same multiverse even.) And of course, Sevens is very out of bounds because they simply cut any ties to the Gallop anime entirely.
OMG I never thought we would get a sequel to this! I'm so happy right now :D
It's my headcannon that duelists from DM and GX have counterparts in the ZeXal-verse, but they were just ordinary ppl rather than having supernatural powers. They mostly had the same ace monsters, hence the statues.
Then how come old man with the statues had magic powers?
@@genyakozlov1316 I dunno maybe it's all smoke 'n' mirrors.
@@AxelWedstar411 Wasn't Yuma's contiousness temporarily in a monster? I doubt that is smoke and mirrors, unless it was a dub-bit somehow
Good job Dylan,
I saw the original video 5 years ago, it's nice to see you didn't forget about it after all these years and I must say it was worth the wait. Also I'm really interested in the story of the mangas, does anyone know where I can get the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas?
Awesome as always!!!
Hey Dylan,
nice to see the "second" part after waiting for years, and i liked it so much. I am not writing many comments, because of my bad english (i am from germany), but i will share my thoughts to your therory and give some hints to invalid points (not for critcism, but for polishment), never the less it was great so see this video (btw your videos are the only ones i watch in the english scene of Yu-Gi-Oh!-TH-cam-Videos):
- Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is confirmed to take place in 2004-2007 (and it was just three years, season 3 + 4 = year three)
- Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's takes place around 2021 (a sign in Episode 74, i guess, showed us the year 2021, Season 1 + 2 was about a few weeks to months, between Season 2 and 3 are 6 months, and during seasin 3 and 4 was a gpae of over a year, which was stated in episode 56 where the TDGP was tol to be held of next year, and the TDGP was about a few weeks, so without the future clips in the last episodes, 5D's is about 2020-2022)
- Here is the first problem: Zero Reverse was 18 years before 5D's, so 2002, so before even GX occured. Here is the/my solution for. Like you, with the multiverse (a concept from several comic books), i use a concept, the so called "Flash-Point" (for those, who don't know, "Flash-Point" is a comic book series, where The Flash created a new time line, where he saved his mother from being killed and so created a complete new timeline). I think, Zone's actions created a "Zone-Point", so Zone came from the original time line (the timeline, where Yusei created Shooting Blazar Dragon with his version of Delta Accel Synchro, which was shown through Antinomy and hinted with his "you will find your own way of delta accel"), which was set to be the new "orginal" timeline, where Yusei defeated Zone (your theory of a timeline where Zone defeated Yusei can't lead to Zexal, because even without Momentum Synchros still existed all over the world and the tecnology in Zexal has not enough time to be devolped; maybe you're referencing to the TLoZ-Timeline, where the Hero of Time loses to Ganon, but i dont think this is here the case.) So, because of Zero Reverse, GX has to be on differernt time line OR has happened under under circumstances (which MUST to be the right thing because 3Ds!)
- The next Flash-Point I create is "Zarc-Point", because during the duel Zarc vs. Ray, a Pseudo-Split leads to the foru dimensions and Zarc & Ray split into 4 seperate Versions BUT Leo Akaba was also sent to a dimension (the standard Dimension) and he was the only one with the knowledge of the occurings during his timeline (he was even confused by watching some kids dueling with the original KC Duel Disk but without Real Solid Vision). So "Zarc-POint" sets a new timeline after DM but before GX and compared to the technology in Zexal, Arc-V is more on level to DM/GX besides Dueling in form of Action Duel. Now the "Pseudo-Split": My theory resides on the Eisenstein-Theory of 12 dimenions in GX. Wee saw during all Anime-Series several dimensions and i theroize, that during Zarc-Point togehter with the dimensional crackings in gx (even stated by Satorius nad Kagemaru), in 5Ds (Zone-Point) and Zexal (Fusion of Human-World and Barian-World), some Dimensions were disintegrated and were newly created during Zarc-Point as Fusion/Synchro/Xyz-Dimension, while the Standard of "Pendulum"-Dimension is the Dimension, where ALL Animes during the timelines took place. There is even enough space to that theory, because we saw this dimension (1. Anime-Standard, 2. Monster-World #1 [with Timaeus etc. AND with Honest], 3. Dimension Yubel #1 [this with the Duel Zombies], 4. Dimension Yubel 2 [this where Tania reappears], 5. Dimension Yubel 3 [the Haou-Dimension], 6. Dimension Yubel 4 [the Tower of Yubel], 7. Monster-World #2 [the Ancient Fairy Dragon World], 11. Astral World, 9. Barian World, 10. Fusion, 11. Synchro, 12. Xyz; and no the Shadow Realm is just FICTION).
- VRains, Sevens, GO Rush may be set after Arc-V, but there a no confirmation spots to be set on a constant timeline, but there a several hints: VRAins has all summon-methods besides Pendulum, so it wil took place after Zexal, but in a no-Zarc-Point-TImeline. Sevens has the same Duel Monsters as all series before, because Polymerization exists (stated by Gakuto during the first fusion-summon), riding duels exists (stated thourgh the first goha sibling, i think yuo was his name), xyz summon exists (not because of the pseudo-utopia but of this one statement of Luke during the duel "Two Level 4 monsters, Romin, here it comes" which was always stated during Zexal, when a characte has 2+ Monsters with the same Level which leads to a Xyz-SUmmon.
- GO Rush, like you said, has to be in an other dimension, and there a more hints to that: Both of the Ohdo kids were not familiar with Sevens Road, so they could not be direct relatives to Yuga. Goha was the inventor of RUsh Duels, not Yuga. And (this is more a critiscm of GO Rush compared to Sevens, which makes it in my opinion a bad series): There a far behind the power level than every Sevens Character (even in Episode 20 Yudias only uses Normal Monsters, i mean WHAT?! Even Pegasus in Episode 2 of DM used Effect Monsters) and there is no proof of a non-Rush-DUel Era.
So, this is it. A lot of information, i know, but this is something i had to wrote, because i was waiting literally for years for this video after seeing your first one.
So, thanks to everyone who has read the whole days and like Dylan i hope all of you had an amazing day!
Bye
I totally love the 5Ds manga ending, yusei is so cool in both, his choice to be with his friends over exploring the potential of the mutiverse is one of those great “not a god, just a man” moments that i really like.
Kinda prefer the anime ending, cause of my bias of “man can surpass god, but still maintain humble men” kinda like how I like Gurren Lagann ending
Manga suck in the first place
and then there is our universe and timeline, full of omni-negates, floodgates and 20min turns.
Yes, Dyl was late on the timeline video part 2, but was it worth that wait. Another great video. R.I.P. Kazuki Takahashi.
Aye! Been waiting for this video
Oh shit I've been waiting for this theory to have a Second part. Awesome content as always Dylan
This is awesome you’re underrated, man!
Love the video, very interesting, I didn't know these interesting facts from the Yugioh mangas. Great work.
Thank you Dylan.
Really great video. Definitely would be interested in a video that fits Duel Links into all this. Especially since Kaiba invents Duel Links in Transcend Game + each series in the game seems to take place after their respective shows. For example, Yuto doesn't seem to realize he's a separate person from Yuya (as they fused in Arc-V's ending). Also, Trey explicitly brings up KaibaCorp but he and Quattro don't recognize the name. And with VRAINS world coming at the end of the month, it'll be interesting to see how they handle that show (since Playmaker went to investigate something at the end).
Amazing job dylan!! ❤️
Let's go baby! Timeline theory #2 hype
Multiverse would be common practice for this franchise. There was another video I'd seen that was spellcommander a year ago atalking about how Seto had created Synchro and how each summoning method was reltaed to a specific type of energy. Both interesting. I think as fans we want to be able to link all our heroes together however we can.
As it happens I just watched his video, and he tackles it from a tech/science perspective rather than lore directly. Which is an interesting take on it
Great video! Been waiting for this one for a while now haha. My only nitpick is placing the Yugioh Arc V Manga after Zexal on the most upper right line. You said the villain uses a dark Utopia monster right? That would mean Zexal would needed to have happened. Sure the villain can travel through time but it’s less complicated to travel on one branched timeline rather than traveling through different branches of the timeline.
Love the video, great work!
One thing though about Goha duels not being Master duels: I think there is a high chance they are identical since we know they had 5 zones, and that you could only normal summon once and draw one card per turn. Also, when Yuo did the first fusion of the show, Gakuto said it was "like Polymerization" referring to the Goha\Master duel Fusion spell with its original Japanese name (Yu-go).
So we don't have a reason to think they were very different, but we do have a few to think they were either very similar or the same.
This was worth the wait!!
This is pretty interesting compared to spellcomander91's. His timeline theory is more unified, and pieces the Anime together pretty well, but then just sticks all of the manga, vrains, and rush on the "ritual dimension" timeline. This one makes a lot more sense when examining the content of the actual anime and manga when looking at official statements on when they take place, but this one comes at the cost of being waay more fragmented. I suppose each has their pros and cons, and all we can really hope for is that some kind of official timeline will come into existence, which is extremely unlikely to happen.
Great vid! 👍
Makes me want to continue the fanfic storyline comic I’ve done on my channel.
But I wouldn’t know how to continue it 😐
Amazing work
You would change your mind if you saw the ARCV scrapped ideas then you would count them as cannon to the anime.
Along with Zexal Duel Carnival that hints the connection between 5DS and Zexal are one and the same just years ahead, except maybe Dr.Faker who created Heartland who learns the history of Synchros and how Yusei prevented the future disaster from happening,so instead of using Synchros he created XYZ based on his research on Yusei's and his dad's so that he won't repeat history,but did research on Fusion and Ritual as he heard about the Legendary Duelist and included them in his town but XYZ became more popular.
My Egyptian God Cards, Dylan, this is incredible. The sheer amount of work that this must've taken. I've had a theory for a long time that VRAINS was created by Kaiba. Furthermore, I think that SOL used to be Kaiba Corp, but they were bought out after his (and perhaps Mokuba's) death. Do I have evidence for this? Not really, but it seems distinctly possible.
IT BEEN 20 years, IT FINALLY HERE
First off great video glad it's finally here. As for what I think about the theory I like it and see where your coming from but I feel spellcommanders makes more sense.
Worth the wait!
A while back I decided to start theorising again about the ygo timeline and it's really cool to see that I have the same take on zexal as you.
Great video!
There's another timeline/multiverse video I watched from another channel (I think it was from SpellCommander) that said the mangas, dark side of dimensions, and vrains anime all take place on one single unbroken timeline. The reason they gave is because since Kaiba was not present for Atem vs Yugi he never acknowledges Yugi as King of Games. This causes himself throw himself into trying to beat Yugi at all costs instead of advancing dueling technology like Ener-D and whatever creates Zarc.
3:15 I remember tagging you in a post about the multiverse on Twitter 😂it is very interesting isn’t it
So what I’m hearing is, we’re never getting Bonds Beyond Dimensions, sad day. Still a great video though, but man did my head hurt after 😂
I'm only ten minutes in and damn the amount of work that went into this, Dyl!
Edit: Holy Blue-Eyes! Amazing work, man. Mad respect for coming up with this and all the research you must have done! Super interesting and to be honest, it all makes a lot of sense. We might never have a 100% confirmed answer but this was really cool and my new headcanon haha.
Love your videos aa always, Dyl!
You're impressed that he got so much wrong? Even the basic stuff he said in regards to the original series is wrong and all he had to do is watch the anime and read the manga. He got so much wrong in the 1st 5 1/2 minutes.
Great theory video for this timeline/multiverse
This is the first timeline video that includes YuGiOh Duel Links as a source, and that makes it way more valuable. Altough is a game, si you might not consider it canon, it is developed by Konami, so it's an OFFICIAL product, and practically the only videogame that has it's own storyline. Some of the most interesting dialogues, mayority of these actually pretty recent, are the following, for those who wonder why I say it's important:
a) The Paradox-Pegasus interaction shown in the video.
b) Yugi's dialogue in Paradox's event confirm that there are different versions of reality, and in DL characters have memories of ALL realities. This is why characters have dialogues with cards they never used, used in anime and used in manga.
c) Akaba Reiji confirming that, altough similar, ARC-V dimensions are fundamentally totally diferent from GX, 5Ds and Zexal, and the "Duel Monsters" dimension is a brand new one he had never seen, making it different from ARC-V's "Standard dimension".
Shiunin Sora alsp confirms this by saying that GX's Edo Phoenix is not the same as ARC-V's Edo Phoenix.
d) Trey investigates DL because he considers imposible that so many strong duelists exist and no one ever heard of them. His investigation leads to the conclusion that they are from different times and/or dimensions. Also, he states that "Kaiba Corp" doesn't exist and has never existed, because there is no info about such a company, and to have that level of advanced technology, there should be at least a trace of it in history, but he found nothing (confirming that Kaiba Corp does not exist in Zexal timeline).
d) Axel Brodie's event confirms that characters in-game come from different moments in time.
e) Blue angel's event confirms that DL appeared as an expansion to Vrains but, similar to Zexal, no one never has ever heard pf "Kaiba Corp", which also confirms that Vrains must occur in a timeline where it never existed.
The big thing I find interesting is the Neos statue. This is a card 100% exclusive to Judai/Jaden, except he never really seemed to go off to be that famous during GX. He was known about for the events of season 1 and was pretty recognised around the school but the wider world never really learned about anything he did during the later seasons and his ending implies he simply went off to travel the world rather than becoming famous in the pro leagues or anything. This would be backed up by the fact Yusei doesn’t know who he was in BBT but recognises Yugi immediately
Yuma however recognises Neos from the statue which to me implies there was some kind of a split in timeline much earlier that lead to a different GX we never saw
Jaden could have done a run in the pro leagues
He is graduate
And he should have take on the best that came during those 10 years
However you are indeed right
Zexal and 5ds seems to have been from a split timeline
In 5ds jaden isn't famous
In zexal he is
Potentially due to a different events happening
I think Dillion's previous theory about whether d-energy is discovered or not makes more sense for the split. Especially since I doubt Stardust wouldn't still be a legendary monster given how famous Yusei was.
As for the point that you brought up, I assume it's due to the Zero Reverse incident. Jaden could have been killed during it for the 5Ds timeline, so he never got as famous as Yugi.
I think that Judai became famous around Yusei's era (before the movie) cause if Ushio is 55 years old and still an active duelist, Judai who's significantly younger should still be active as well.
He's prob made a name for himself on other countries, not on the city Yusei was in.
@@christianmago7568 Judai would be in his mid-30s by that point so yeah he’s probably still very active but also if you’ve not made a name for yourself in 20 years after graduation in Domino City, the home of dueling, I kind of doubt he’d be especially well known at all
@@rueblie2627 idk bro, we can speculate all day all night on what Judai was doing in that 20 years
No one except the guys in Studio Gallop can answer that
He could have experienced another duel slump or something
Or he was on outer space
Or in other duel spirit dimensions again
Idk. The possibilities are endless.
Knowing what we know NOW about GO Rush, oh man the Rush section of the timeline is A LOT more messier than we thought
Keep the good work
GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS.
This is amazing and I applaud your dedication but it feels like we might as well consider every entry it's own parallel universe at this point
After so long of waiting finally we got the timeline video thanks dlyan yeah man I can agree with everything you said especially with arc v characters being different versions from the shows like 5ds mostly and Kaito to
Due link will explain it all someda if somehow eithe celina and yugo come
@@destinycybermic6930 I hope so
Bro, I just wanna movie with all the Yu-Gi-Oh main characters in it I mean while they’re at it they can just add all the characters like all the side characters and the villains. It will probably have to be a miniseries instead of a movie like 12 episodes against a really powerful villain and they all get together. It could be like for their 50th anniversary or some thing.
It's been 10,000 years... Happy birthday btw
You could probably tie Sevens into a branch of the main timeline, actually! Remember that in BBT that there is a timeline where Paradox kills Pegasus? Opening the video with Paradox being presented the idea that "nevertheless, Duel Monsters will always exist" would actually make sense if that ties into the Sevens timeline. You could definitely pinpoint the immense control that Goha Corporation has over Duel Monsters to the point of even overseeing trades that might be related to an idea of Yliaster taking control of the game. That might also explain why out of all the cards that appear in the anime, there are direct references to monsters from DM, GX (though GX is very hard to find, Daedalus is a GX card), Zexal, and even a reference to Arc-V with Odd-Eyes Twin Tail Cat but no 5D's reference. Closest I can find is a couple relatively obscure Tuner monsters appearing in cameos on some card arts.
GX should be 3 years, it follows Japanese high school structure and so two seasons (obvious choice being 3 and 4) would by design have to take place during the same year.
If you go by the logic of Arc-V manga being in the anime timeline then it would kind of need to be in the "Yliaster wins, Zexal timeline" as I see it, a Timelord being the link to 5D's would mean it would be the split where Timelords were more "historically relevant" than something like the Earthbound Immortals or Signer Dragons.
I also don't know where the source for the statement that it was 10 years after DM comes from so I'd try and dig into that. If the manga directly says 2004 that would honestly make more sense since returning characters in GX certainly don't seem to be 10 years older.
Appearently the 10 year statement was a dub-bit that just established itself in the public contiousness and the japanese season 1 does indeed take place in 2004.
Great video, awesome work
Regarding 5D's Manga being a separate universe. I don't know man, there are few cameos in it that can indicate that it is a sequel to the GX manga, those being Satellite when viewed from afar looks very similar to Duel Academy Island. The other hint is in the duel disks used, while almost all duels in 5D's manga were Riding Duels, the few shots that showed non-Riding Duels showed the duelist using the Duel Academy Duel Disk
Spell commander 91 has definitely got a different time line theory well worth a look if you haven't seen it. I do like his idea that Yusei created xyz summoning to replace synchro monsters with would explain why there are no synchro in zexal. With the first 4 series being on one timeline until Zarc splits the timeline befor arcV begins.
Love the work you put into this and so glad you mentioned the recent duel links information drop I believe it helps work some of this out, keep up the good work.
It's an interesting theory but if we count Duel Links canon as anime canon, Trey event tells us that he and his brother never heard of Kaiba Corp or the other legendary duelist, he even suggest that could be because Duel Links accessed another dimension/universe, so that kinda implies Zexal is a different universe to the first 3 shows.
Again that is if you count Duel Link as canon.
The long awaited continuation!!
This was enjoyable to watch.
Arc V manga being in the anime timeline does make sense. The anime Arc V can also make sense on the anime line, since Arc V takes place in a distant future. The original dimension or the united world, before it was split was the original setting of the Arc V world build. Leo En Cards and the after effect is what brought the 4 dimension, and even Yushou thought if it was Zarc who place his avatar (Yuya) as his “son” because he was the best duelist in Standard Dimension so that Yuya could learn and quickly lead on to his revival. This brought other possibility that it could be Zarc wills to choose the rest of the legacy character to battle against them as he had no challenge, except Ray. Though Zarc doesn’t sees Ray as a challenge, he only fears the En Cards, a natural enemy of his.
An interesting thing on Arc V anime is how literally no one had a backstory and they couldn’t remember anything from their past as stated by Yushou and Syuzo (Yuzu dad). This could be the same for young Jack Atlas (as he was shown in the anime).
The whole Arc V is an after effect of what happened in the united world, and the cast of character has no real backstory except the 4 Yuboys and the bracelet girl. It all happened after Zarc being corrupted, darkness taking over. I believe Darkness from GX is the entity that returned on Arc V as he did mentioned he would return and probably took the identity of the Supreme King or target the next Supreme King.
The Yu-Gi-Oh timeline makes the Zelda timeline look like a cakewalk.
I love your video.
The only thing is, there is a Monster in zexal in episode 95 which appears in both Yu Gi Oh and 5D's which is Lord Poison, it appears in episode 95 with Berserk Dragon, Worm Drake and Dark Jeroid.
Like the statues they are recognized as (duel) Monsters by the main cast which can be interpreted as implying a continuity.
duel links latest storylines kinda confirms this multiverse aspect
Great yugioh everything video 📹
Finaly i was waiting for this sinse you said that
I hope Konami makes a movie And also explain the timeline of all versions Yu gi oh that must be really fun
Fantastic work, Dylan! I'd love to see the corkboard with all of the notes that was taken for this.
Can't wait for Dr. Crowler 2: In the cardverse of madness to hit cinemas next year. Gonna be lit.
I mostly agree with your video except for one of your methods for splits. You always go "Lack of evidence= new timeline" which I think should be "same timeline unless contradictory evidence is present".
my theory is the time travel movie started the yugioh multiverse and arc v split it more than they thought . and i wouldnt be shocked if yuga helped make the go rush branch universe
17:45 I kinda needs that theory!! lol please make one about manga yusei could be Zone
