I love my boy JayJay, but for his own mental health I'd rather have him lose this duel. For so long he couldn't afford to lose a duel, or the world would be damned. By losing a duel and seeing that nothing bad happened and nothing of value was lost, he can finally relax and enjoy dueling again.
Bingo. It makes more sense for Jaden to lose
Yeah man! You got it! I personally love Jaden more than Yugi but what you're saying makes perfect sense
This is just the kaiba man duel in season one
The anime's "Dark Renewal" doesn't say it has to be in Attack Position, so Yugi could've summoned "Slifer the Sky 🐉" in Defense Position (forcing monsters to attack it if summoned that way).
Pretty much this. In the later half of GX, every single duel was either win or the world is destroyed. That's takes it toll on you. He needs to lose so that he can see that not every duel is a win or die situation and he can enjoy it. In a way, most of Yugi's duels were like that. That's probably why they both laughed at how serious they were taking the duel.
Added bonus: Slifer Red was the dorm Jaden was in for three years, so the final shot of the duel is Jaden's ace attacking a monster that represents his time at DA.
I think jaden would have won looking at it like that.
It would signify his moving on from Slifer Red and DA all together.
@@nearzero12 depends he might’ve lost but no way he didn’t support Neos
Also, Pharaoh/Yugi's main card was Slifer; after those 3 cards were presented to the serie. So, I'd expect him to summon Slifer The Executive Producer the most, other than Ra's Chicken or Obelisk.
@@nearzero12 I think him beating Slifer, but losing in the end, shows him both moving in from DA, and Slifer Red, but still acknowledging he can still move forward.
genius, i am satisfied
Just as a fun fact: In Duel Links, if you use Jaden Yubel against Yami Yugi and lose, Jaden will say the same phrase that he said at the end of GX, so... Technically that could explain how the duel ended
Dude that is awesome
I guess we know who won after all lol
Well if we talk about duel links jaden say after winning against yugi
Yugi .I'll never forget this duel !
Its was the best gift ever !

@@chimuoma390
tf is that kinda fanfic?
Althought we never see the conclusion of the duel, I love how it "ends" just because of how simbolic it is. During the entire series, Slifer Reds are underestimated and considered as inferiors by the rest of the Duel Academy. However, in this final duel, Jaden faces Slifer itself and sees how immensely powerful he is (let's not forget that, in the original series's final duel of Yugi vs Atem, Slifer is the key for defeating the other two gods).
You can thank Kaiba for that. Why Obelisk was top and Slifer was weak while Ra was second.
I never thought about it until now but why does yugi shot gun using thousand knives? He could have just destroyed bubble man with Celtic then attack with dark magic and saved thousand knives for main phase 2 if any new monsters showed up like how neos did

Lmao I feel like they actually have conversations like this😂😂😂
Lol wish I was😂😂but I love my son to much 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️😂😂
Lol very much in line with the abridged version
Pegasus: im still here yugi boy
It's pretty much implied that Chazz showed up and beat them both.
CHAZZ IT UP!
no it's Weevil, and he's gonna throw their cards to the sea.
@@newfacepaula SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR NEO SPACIANS
@@newfacepaula both chazz and weevil have trown someone else's deck to the sea
Well, Chazz beats Jaden in the manga, so it's plausible.
Yugi: "You're a duelist, aren't you?"
Jaden: "Yep, I'm going to try out for the Academy."
Yugi: "Hehe, you don't say."
Yugi already met Jaden and had to set him on the path to meet him in the past. It also explains how Jaden bumped into him. He *knew* that Jaden would come, so he came to greet him
We only have one one of saying hi
Bust out dual disk and deck and let's dual
ITS A GODAM PARADOX (not the character)
I feel like Jaden lost, but it was so close and against God cards that it just felt like a victory because of the knowledge and character gained.
And seeing as the world was fine would reinforce his confidence of dueling for fun
Yah maybe he beat the god but couldn't beat yugi and that's why he says gotcha. Who knows. It's sucks that didn't want to give an answer on who would of won. But whatever they had characters lose in dumb ways and win in dumb ways so whatever.
That's right. ❤
On Yugi's turn, Yugi activates his skill: Destiny Draw! Looking through his entire deck and picking anything he wants and adds it to his hand!
Duel links lol
He would need to lose 2000 lp to do that tho. And he has just lost 500. AND and he has kuriboh as a good destiny draw player xD
My thoughts precisely. Yugi's rogue strategy with D-draw would beat Jaden's Meta strategy with Ties that bind.
@@impieman10 Destiny Draw is more of a meta strategy than Ties that Bind though, if we're talking about Duel Links. If anything, Ties that Bind is a rogue strategy lol
@@clyden1685 Ties is played in Harpies if I'm not mistaken
Yugi has been known to be a staller. Magical hats + Sword of Revealing Light . Yata Yata Yata. Summon Obelisk + Ra.. Believe me, Yugi Muto is a hustler, he stacked cards amazingly
I really wished they let Yugi use at least Slifer
@@Deathmare235 at the time he couldn't they were all in Egypt
@@drakofox1362 still they let Kaiba use his in the movie and Yugi’s meant to be the best apparently
@@Deathmare235 that was because they where right above the burial grounds where they was still located
@Deathmare
@Drako fox13
Don't forget the movie is based on the manga, not the anime.
According to the the trivia page of Slifer on the wiki, a possible set of effects for the anime Slifer would not include the rule of coming back to the graveyard at the end of the turn, but that Slifer it is only affected by spells for one turn. Therefore, because Slifer was revived with a trap, not a spell, then it would have stayed on the field at the end of the turn. This would also explain why Slifer stayed on the field during the ceremonial duel, because it was summoned with a trap (Summoning Clock).
you mean that definetely yugi won that duel since he could have immedielay attaked slifer for game meaning no cliffhanger
If yugi would have lost Kiba would have lost his mind. Like then Kuba would just non stop go after Jaden
I like the end of GX so much for the ending. It’s left vague and it’s done on purpose. It’s the reason it’s so good. And it’s a fantastic duel overall too. The final cinematic shot is also a great symbol for jaden. It’s his ace going against the mascot for the dorm that housed him for three years. Symbolic of his end at the academy and onto new paths
Id most definitely argue that Jaden lost the duel. Cause he kept winning over and over again and lost the fun he had, the best way for him to regain the fun is for him to lose. This gives Jaden new heights to strive for, and a new path for his dueling journey to surpass the person who finally beat him.

hi
I feel like Jaden lost.
He's vague about it, but when a character - especially an anime character - says "I'm going to get stronger and fight you again...!" It's pretty much always after a loss.
Plus, his facial expression doesn't exactly read as "I just won a card game between friends," it looks more like he's thinking "I need to get better and set the standard higher for myself."
I think the main reason Yugi kinda yeeted Jaden into a pocket dimension wasn't necessarily because he was in his prime at that point in time, which I'm somewhat uncertain of what that would mean, but like...hm...
Think of it like this: he wanted Jaden to go back to dueling for fun.
So he prolly wanted a duel that had ridiculous scaling, yeah?
A duel that'd be comparable to a rollercoaster.
One that would have it's own twists and turns, which it absolutely does.
I mean, this is prolly one of the duels in Yugioh that have the most debates centered around it.
I'm going to phrase this kinda stupidly, but; my speculation is that after he lost to Yugi, Jaden went back to the present and Yugi told'im "YOU'RE the protag now!!"
Jaden says, "Awesome...!!!"
...and then his series ends.
Sounds perfect to me.
Also, uh-...
It's really funny for me to imagine an abridged series that gets to this ending and shows Jaden saying he'll get stronger, he'll challenge him again and that he'll never give up!
Then he says some shit like,
_"...Also...where the fuck am I...?"_
In the abridged he would probably say something like "I never really been to venice before" and then prof banner would remind us that he is asian.
"I think the main reason Yugi kinda yeeted Jaden into a pocket dimension wasn't necessarily because he was in his prime at that point in time", I agree with this. Yugi sent Jaden back to where the Pharaoh was still present. Yugi knew a duel with the best duelist ever would give Jaden the chills and make him regain what he has lost.
@@poloy7051 Well Jayden had the problem of not enjoying duels as much and Yugi came "looking for sonething" he "didnt know" he lost. I'm pretty sure he was there because he was in a rut with dueling too. He came to reminisce through the old days of his deck and ran into a soul m8ee in need.
He didn't go back in time to be "in his prime" as it was hinted that Yugi had grown better than Atem at strats, so his prime would probably be somewhere after Atem left him. He probably went back in time to be with Atem and duel alongside him vs a worthy opponent like in "the good old days". Maybe a card in his deck still had the Egyptian magic to help him do that? lols idk
We all know he took that L there's no explanation needed
Screw all of you I think Jaden won. Plus he is the one who is ment to surpass the last king of games. The is no way to prove that unless he beats the king of games Atem. Not Yugi, Nobody considers Yugi better than Atem so yes it has to be Jaden Yugi doesn't count we all know in our hearts Atem is always the better duelist and the only way be better is beating Atem.
I think Jaden loses the duel but that doesn’t mean he’s lost everything. The point of this duel was to heavily emphasize the fact that he regained his love for dueling which is why the full duel wasn’t shown, because it didn’t matter all that mattered was character development for Jaden. I would however, love to see the duel in a movie or something.
This, the duel wasn't meant to have a defined winner. Its just a proxy for Jaden to rediscover what he loves, much like meeting your childhood hero and them telling you not to quit when things get rough. The fact that he faced a god card adds to this more since its represents an obstacle at its peak in dueling.
Agreed
The anime's "Dark Renewal" doesn't say it has to be in Attack Position, so Yugi could've summon "Slifer the Sky 🐉" in Defense Position (as it forces monsters attacking to attack it if summoned that way).
@@jemd5766 Wow, that makes actually sense, given that Slifer stays only one round anyway and Yugi always plays safe.
@@jemd5766 it does not force them to atk, just he can redirect the attack to the Egyptian God if they attack other monsters
Jaden winning with Winged kuriboh would be poetic in a way, defeating Yugi with the card he himself gave to Jaden in the future.
Yugi has a track winning against someone after receiving one of his cards. Yes the time wizard thing was bs but against Seto and Atem was pretty sweet on baiting them to use monster reborn.
Yugi won easily
i actually completely agree with this analysis. Yugi probably pulled it out by bringing out obelisk at some point. And when he was sent back to the present he probably re-challenged current yugi and won against him.
If Jaden sumons Yubel ultimate nightmare after yugi brings out obelisk, which btw all of the cards he only used in this duel involved milling, he can take yugi out easily. I repeat, Obelisk is NOT AN AUTOMATIC WIN if Yugi summons it for this reason.
That’s probably why he gave it to him.
Much as I love this duel, just imagine getting to see a grown-up Yugi dueling on his own now. It’d be sick.
The ending to the GX series is actually deep. Basically... Jaden was turned into an adrenalin junkie due to him basically only playing and literally gambling with his life.
How could dueling regularly match that sort of thrill/terror?
This honestly gets weird when you consider Yugi didn't seem to lose that spark despite how much he had on the line in his show too. Same with Yusei (can't speak for the other shows, didn't watch them.)
@@perrytran9504 Yugi and Yusei had better relationship with their friends than Judai did, actually. Despite having so many high tension duels they noticably still has better life outside of just dueling and have friends that treat them equally and actually personally know them.
Judai is not really a jerk loner, but none of his friends seems to be very close to him. They either call him aniki, treat him as a rival, or only work together because of duty. The closest thing he has to equal friend is Johan, who he rarely meet. He has nothing outside of dueling, and eventually even the dueling that he loves so much become a stressful duty.
It's a surprisingly an interesting take of battle maniac happy guy stereotype.
@@perrytran9504 I mean, in most cases yami was the one who did the dangerous duels, so it makes sense that Yugi isn't that phycologically damaged
Yugi and Atem also got to share the mental load. Whether it’s their general relationship, or them swapping back and forth during the Pegasus duel, etc, they always had a peer in their corner.
@@RPGNoZero I think it was more circumstances there than anything else, but he did neglect a bit of his friendships later on, especially with Syrus.
So Yami just shows up to steal Yugi's game, after Yugi has done all the work, and claims that he's the "real" duel...
Ego of Kaiba proportions.
his name is atem btw but i agree he just steals yugi game lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this
@@mezasepkmn lol
I thought you right
Just like in the movie
Yugi: "Do I beat Jaden at the end of GX?"
Yusei: "Well duh"
Jaden: "Hey spoilers!!"
Yusei: "It's not a spoiler if it's obvious"
Yugioh the abridged movie!

Amazing how a almost decade old YT video is still relevant today

@@blacksarutobi7975 ygotas bbt
Option 1 jaden lost and takes it in his stride as a breakthrough that he can enjoy the game again after all he has been through, option 2 he wins and seeing one of his idols accept the loss with a smile on his face he realises you don't have to win them all
I always find myself coming back to this video, because it breaks down one of my favorite duels in such a great way. Excellent job on the video
When you realize Atem is "meta" spelled backwards.
Exposed
its also breath in german
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Duuuuude.
I hate to ruin your day but the pharaoh is spelled "Atemu" but the "u" at the end is silent so you don't day it...
Sry
Jaden regained his passion for dueling for fun, so in a sense he still won, even if he lost.
If we look at the facts, Jaden isn't shown to attack and I don't think he would choose to as that would cause him to lose. Jaden is a lot of things but bad at card games isn't one of them. He wouldn't make a play that would cause him to lose when there are better alternatives.
So Jaden ends his turn. Yugi loses Slifer. The only monster Yugi has in hand that can be played is Kuriboh. Jaden has double lethal on board. I don't see how Yugi can win. Certain draws could change things but based on what cards we know are in play, Yugi has no way of winning whereas Jaden does. I honestly don't know why anyone would think Yugi has a chance here. Literally everything points towards Jaden winning.
"But Jaden says he'll get stronger. Why would he say that if he won?"
Why would he say Gotcha if he lost? Both lines were likely written so as to not point to either result but if we're going off what cards are in play, Yugi cannot win the duel.
@@ZyrusSmith see here's the thing you forgot the most simple rule when it comes to atem and yugi: belive in the heart of the cards bitch lol
@@ZyrusSmith Facts 🔥
Judai said at the end, "I'll become much stronger and when the time comes .." he'll try his hand at that duel again. If he lost (which I assume he did based on what he says), it gives him something to shoot for, something to look forward to. If he won, what good would it do? He said all that mattered was he had fun and that was the point.
Agreed
Exactly. Well said.
Assuming Jaden ends his turn and Slifer goes back, the resources don't look that great for Atem. And since we don't see the end, we can only imagine what might have happened.
However, there is a card Atem hasn't used yet which I imagine would be the card on top of the deck: Pot of Greed.
Can you explain what that card do?
@@oojikarasuma1 With Pot Of Greed, that means he can draw two cards from the top of his deck.
@@Ozuburatoo confusing. Elaborate
@@oojikarasuma1he can summon pot of greed which lets him draw 3 cards from his deck.
I think Jaden loses this duel from purely a narrative standpoint. He has spent the last 3 years with life or death duels, and pretty much every duel in year 3 fit that category, he couldn't lose, or else. Not only does this duel get him to love duel monsters again, I think he lost in the past to help remind him that 99% of the time, losing is okay. I think this duel helped him with what I assume to be trauma from the past year of consistently saying, "I can't lose this or I lose my friends/life/only chance at...etc.

Honestly, his ending walk-off really only makes sense if he lost. Because it means his journey isn't over yet and he still has more to learn and grow from. Which would be nice because he had a feeling of stagnation in the final season. This gives him purpose again.
14:15 Yugi is in fact able to do this. Dark Renewal in the TCG might specify the summoning of a DARK Spellcaster, but the anime version's effect just says "Spellcaster", so yeah changing it to "Divine Beast" is indeed enough to summon Slifer.
Why can't rival characters ever do something like this
kiba only want to gain king of games ???don't know the rival.5ds did my research no rivals other the the king. Zexel same as 5ds. arc v war. vrain same as 5ds and Zexel

My interpretation of this is that the duel not only stopped for us viewers, but for Yugi and Jaden too so that this duel never really ended
Honestly, I'd love a self destruct button draw. Just because he pulled that against Zane who was Jaden's first big rival and it had a similar theme (though smaller scale) with Jaden not playing his usual way and through the duel rediscovering himself.

@@shiroiku9314 he be trying to save his favorite milk producer and the rest of the timestream
To me it was simplier: Jaden really attacked Slifer and that's when he lost.
Because that duel wasn't about winning as Jaden's previous duels were (causing him to become numb on playing). So, he simply brawled out with a *real* god, held by the real King, no matter the result; and that was the "ultimate moment" as Jaden himself stated.
I like this because it means the “real duel” that Yami referred to was life after duel academy
I agree it wasn’t about winning, it was about the feeling! Jaden grew numb and looked like he was on a path to not being interested in dueling. This duel fueled his drive and motivation. Jaden losing and promising Yugi he’d get stronger indicates he lost the duel but won something more valuable in return
It was so obviously implied yugi won by what jaden says, cmon!
But for real battle analysis, yes he can contact fusion flare neos but he goes back to the extra deck during the end phase (actually doesnt have to with the field spell) Which is actually GOOD as if he doesn't, atem can draw monster reborn, revive slifer with 5000 attack and attack either neos or the other weak monster for game. So by contact fusioning flare neos and it returning to the extra deck, slifer can only attack the 4600 flare wingman, which would mean jaden survives, slifer goes to grave and the duel continues. So this is jaden's only option unless u can contact fusion together neos + flare wingman? But even then slifer can still attack the weaker monster so I don't think that works. So jaden has to contact fusion flare neos so it can return to the extra deck. But then atem can choose to draw brain control instead, he can take flare wingman and attack jaden for game - th-cam.com/video/bHUX0PuAhD4/w-d-xo.html
Jaden is not stupid make attack for reason jayden win
@@nickmp516 No one is saying that Jaden is stupid; he knew he'd lose by attacking, but did so intentionally to prove to Yugi and himself that he no longer felt a need to win every single duel, and that he was back to playing just for fun.
I just found your channel and I must say that I love this type of analysis and content. Very entertaining greetings from Mx
Jaden and Yugi either draw, or Jaden loses. Jaden is supposed to symbolize fun in dueling (imo)
So having him lose, he can learn that being defeated isn’t going to ruin his life or kill him like he is used to. It’s really a beautiful moment
I kind of favor Yugi at this point too. It just makes more narrative sense for Jaden to lose. If he wins, he has accomplished the highest dueling achievement possible, but the purpose of the duel is to return his love of dueling. The most powerful way of doing that would be for him to lose, so he still has goals to strive for. It also thematically fits with him no longer needing to duel to survive. I actually think he straight up did attack into Slifer because he had already gotten what he needed from that duel and was ready to return to the present having regained what he had lost.
If we look at the facts, Jaden isn't shown to attack and I don't think he would choose to as that would cause him to lose. Jaden is a lot of things but bad at card games isn't one of them. He wouldn't make a play that would cause him to lose when there are better alternatives.
So Jaden ends his turn. Yugi loses Slifer. The only monster Yugi has in hand that can be played is Kuriboh. Jaden has double lethal on board. I don't see how Yugi can win. Certain draws could change things but based on what cards we know are in play, Yugi has no way of winning whereas Jaden does. I honestly don't know why anyone would think Yugi has a chance here.

@@ZyrusSmith since Millenium Puzzle lets Atem draws any card he wants from the deck, I would assume that he drew Monster Reborn, then used it to bring out Slifer and attacked for endgame (in a similar way that he did against Yugi at Ceremonial Duel).
@@ZyrusSmith Facts, sure. But since when was the show ever about facts? The give cards different effects on occasion, or just outright fabricate a card specifically for the Anime.
I highly doubt they would care if Yugi could win or not, simply speaking as a plot device: Jaden WOULD lose the duel.
From a strict narrative point, it gives Jaden the motivation to keep learning, evolving and restores his love for dueling.
If this was a genuine duel that happened either online, or at a tournament(with the sheer amount of luck they had to match)...then yes. Who was ever in Jaden's position would have 100% won UNLESS something wild happens and whoever is in Yugi's position just pops off because...."the heart of the cards" and some how just manages to whip put an insane combination out of no where with whatever cards he has and drew.
Also, nice copy/paste bud.
Didnt they already do that in Season 2 with the Kaiba Man duel tho? Kinda pointless to do it again isnt it?
Yugi will win
Man, season 4 of GX is one of the greatest seasons in all of Yu-Gi-Oh!.
I heard it got rushed and I'm very sad about that, because it could have been even better
@George112 both were great
Season 4 is literaly saying: Oh, you know that characters with nothing of development and forgotten well lets develop them but in just one episode and give more Spotlight to Jaden
I'm so annoyed by it tho cause it one of my childhood hero and yet they went and rushed it
I would say one of the greatest was the barian arc. That was amazing.
Could you possibly do a video on whether Atem could've beat Yugi in their final duel? I think it'd be interesting to see your opinion on how the duel could've gone differently.
Yes. He missed an opportunity in the beginning to win early and later on aswell, he should of won, especially knowing him as well as he does.. he lnows Yugi's every trick and playing style.
But Artem couldn't lose on purpose, if he tried he wouldn't of been able to go into the after life, it had to be a genuine loss. So his big mistakes weren't intentional but it was so blatantly obvious what he could of and should of done on multiple occasions to win the duel in atleast 2 different ways...how he missed them is plot armor for Yugi, or in this case, Artemis since he benefited from it lol.. I'm surprised Yugi didn't lose on purpose so Artem would ge forced to stay, that was like losing a piece of himself and his best friend.
Love the symbolism of Jaden (a slifer red) facing slifer
Jaden this is why you dont play 60 different cards in your deck
Yeah he should add 10 more
Eheh yugi s deck is worse
@@syckray but Yugi has heart of the cheat with him
@@syckray what are you saying, clearly Yugi Moto Tribute summon/Magnet warrior/Slifer/Fusion summon chimera/Ritual BLS hybrid deck is tier zero.
@@cbbblue8348 but what about Yugi Muto Dark Magician/Magician Girls/Gadget/Tribute Summon/Magnet Warrior/God Cards/Fusion summon Chimera/Watapon/Kuriboh/Silent Cards/Archfiend of Gilford/DESTROY THE MOOOOOON/Ritual BLS Hybrid? It’s way better
Funny thing about this duel is that Code Change could’ve been used to summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard instead but Atem really wanted to show Judai respect.
Bringing back my childhood memories making me remember I never could find the rest of the Yu-Gi-Oh GX anime online back then.
I was just rewatching this video, because I love to rewatch your Dual Analysis videos, and I just realized there was a moment when Jaden could have won the Duel and had a perfect game. When he summoned Sparkman, he could have Equipped it with Impact Flip, then after it destroyed Alpha Yugio would have been forced to send the top card of his Deck to GY, which would have been Gaia, then on his next turn he would have drawn his Beast of Gilford, which he couldn't summon, so he'd have to end his turn, then next turn Jaden would bust out Bladeedge and attack directly with both it and Sparkman for game and he'd win, without losing any of his LP.
Actually true
But present Yugi would have been the one who defeated even Atem right? So hypothetically, he may not be the most powerful Yugi, but he could be the most skilled.
@Tucker Also adult Yugi is more interested in making sure Jaden is at his best as a Duelist.
I love speculating what kind of deck present-Yugi would run
They did us dirty by not releasing the GX movie 🥺
Wasn't that movie sort of adapted for season 2 when they went to domino city for a few episodes? I would much preffer they do a Dark Side of Dimensions type of movie for GX so we can see how the characters progressed in the future
Where
They did us dirty by not releasing season 4 GX dubbed
Love the "Sonnenuntergang" instrumental in the background at the start
Hypothesis: Yugi giving Jaden the Winged Kurinoh is evidence that he won
"Yugi, I'll become much stronger and until that time comes... Thank you, Yugi! Gotcha! That was a fun duel."
Jaden lost and that's okay. He spent season 3 and 4 knee deep in death duels with life of his friends on the line. Once a hobby that he greatly loved turned into obligation with failure not being an option. He suffered from PTSD and clearly dueled like his life dependent on it in the last season. Yugi reaching out to him and awakening the long lost feeling of enjoying the game just for the sake of it worked much better for his character and the story than a victory ever could. Jaden was frustrated throughout the duel that Yugi managed to respond to his move, but as time went by his frustration turned into pure child-like glee. He lost, but in the end that clearly wasn't important to him since he loved that he got an opportunity to duel his childhood idol.
True!
I do see Jaden eventually defeating Yugi, one day; successor of him/next King of Games and all. But I see that happening in a later duel, where he's already reclaimed his love of dueling and a healthier emotional state in general.
@@ganoninthepit jaden could beat present yugi, but probably not prime yugi. He becomes king of games but he doesnt need to be the strongest ever.
Wonder how he’ll duel Yugi again I wish current Yugi was still good he even got the Atem build or at least show him duel
Lmao nope. Judai always uses Gotcha when he won the duel
@@ganoninthepit I know it’s just a game but Yusei’s win/lose quotes especially for Yugi & Judai are interesting overall and ensuing what if scenarios for everybody else.
I love this type of duel analysis.
Breaking down duels and the thought process behind the duelists is an awesome concept. This video got me to sub to you, definitely should make more like this.
I started watching GX about a week ago I think and I really like it!
this video really reminded me of my love for the show bro thank you.
The anime really focused on Yugi only using Slifer even though he had all 3 god cards to give another connection to Jaden due to him being a Slifer Red student
Funny enough,the manga is all about obelisk
I think the last part where Jaden attack Slifer is meant to symbolizes him moving on from Slifer Red as well
Yugi draws a single Exodia card and wins.
"But Yugi doesn't have Exodia or even the number of pieces in hand to win."
Heart of the Cards, bitch.
I honest could see this happen in Yu-Gi-Oh abridged
"Heart of the carda" more like "Heart of cheat mode on"
King of games bitch!
I’d be really interested in a part 2 of this where you just go full fanfic mode and flat out write the rest of the duel
Personally I think if The Duel have been allowed to play to completion we would find Our Heroes ending in a draw with perfectly choreographed coup-de-grace moves that can only happen in the show
Official Real Ending: Team Rocket shows up and steals Yugi's and Jaden's Deck, however, one card was unaffected by thievery. As team rocket attempted to flee, Yugi's Silfer attacked Team Rockets' balloon and sent them blasting off again. As the cards rained down, both Yugi and Jaden agreed the duel could not continue as the playing state has been altered.
Yes, I did more research than TGS Anime did.
Don't look at me like that.
the perfect crossover
Wasn’t this is the Pokémon show?
Nah you got it wrong team rocket wouldn’t be stopped by yugi and jaden they would be stopped by ash and everyone and then yugi, jaden, and ash would all become friends and fight with Pokémon and cards
I didn't know that Osiris's name was Arcanine!
I'm still in the yugi winning camp. It shows that jaiden has more to learn despite all he went through and its better than just him getting the crown and the show being over
Me to I thought Yugi Won because slifer had 5,000 attack points while jadens neos had 2500 he attacked slifer he would’ve taken more damage then the amount of life points he had I think Jaden lost
@@zaydsnaynay6736 remember even tgc said judai didn’t attack slifer with Neos just for a cinematic ending to the duel
If we look at the facts, Jaden isn't shown to attack and I don't think he would choose to as that would cause him to lose. Jaden is a lot of things but bad at card games isn't one of them. He wouldn't make a play that would cause him to lose when there are better alternatives.
So Jaden ends his turn. Yugi loses Slifer. The only monster Yugi has in hand that can be played is Kuriboh. Jaden has double lethal on board. I don't see how Yugi can win. Certain draws could change things but based on what cards we know are in play, Yugi has no way of winning whereas Jaden does. I honestly don't know why anyone would think Yugi has a chance here. Literally everything points towards Jaden winning.
"But Jaden says he'll get stronger. Why would he say that if he won?"
Why would he say Gotcha if he lost? Both lines were likely written so as to not point to either result but if we're going off what cards are in play, Yugi cannot win the duel.
@@ZyrusSmith he literally yelled Neos attack and yugi had 5 cards and they were good 5 cards so he can turn the dual around
@@zaydsnaynay6736 Yugi had 5 bricks and we never saw Neos attack. Jaden could have ended his turn which would be his best play which is why I think he didn't attack.
This was a great video, I haven't watched Yu Gi Oh in a long time, nor did I know some of these facts. Thank you for your passionate love of the game. Great Channel.
I love the analysis of this duel, valid points for both sides and very open to both sides not favoring one over the other. However I would like to just point some things out. Since this is the anime, Slifer has a lot more effects and basically no drawbacks. In the anime slifers second ability actually also reduces defense points and when a god card is summoned no monster can activate an effect. Just thought I’d mention it, amazing video overall mate! Well done!
Yugi didn't choose obelisk the tormentor to add to hand by the effect of jaden's magic card because it said "add three MONSTERS from deck..." and obelisk is not a monster... it's a GOD!
Mounsta de wanai… KAMI DA
My guy, you are awesome when it comes to the analytical side of Yu-Gi-Oh and should play off of that. You are also the only one who does the deep dive research needed to piece together the story of the cards. You are starting to turn out more content which is awesome because when you do turn out content it's always quality. Cheers mate
😃 thanks for the kind words Yokaido!
From a pure analysis POV, this duel is actually 50-50 in terms of how it could end.
Another thing about impact flip is that if Jaden equipped it to Sparkman when he attacked Alpha it would of caused Yugi to mill Gaia and be forced to draw Gilfer forcing Yugi to pass and then Jaden draws blade edge use necro grave effect to summon it and then he attacks Yugi for game.
Heres what happened, Yugi was about to draw but Jaden gets run over by Yusei who came to play a card game.
@Lokey Warrior XD it does in the rap
On motorcycles
TGS anime, would you consider doing duel breakdowns like this but for duels that we see completed as well? I love the detail and explainations and some games get really confusing with duel action taking the front focus and not game mechanics.
Yugi Vs. Dartz still confuses me at multiple stages, and yes I know that it's a filler arc full of ridiculous shenanigans and when you get to infinity points logic is gone.
I'm confused too as to why the knights attack the main shinurous monster to weaken it but then Yugi uses mirror force anyways but also only takes small amounts of life point damage attacked the biggest beat stick ever to that point
One duel which I just got reminded of was Kaiba vs. Ishizu. We know it ended with Kaiba winning because he tributed Obelisk for Blue Eyes... but what if Ishizu ignored her own prophecy before that?
Kaiba at some point has no monsters and sets Soul Exchange hoping Ishizu summons a third monster so he can get out Obelisk. Ishizu however could've just attacked him directly with her existing two monsters and killed him then without even using Blast Held by Tribute (BHbt). I guess Kaiba could've used Soul Exchange in response to tribute just her two monsters for Blue Eyes (also in his hand at the time), but then it would be targeted by BHbT and now he has no good way of getting out Obelisk... or does he?
We don't know what else Ishizu has in her hand or deck, but the wiki said Kaiba had Flute of Summoning Dragon, Silent Doom, Ring of Destruction, and Obelisk. His deck is also limited to whatever cards were previously in his graveyard, so we know it only has Kaiser Glider, Polymerization, Shrink, and Vorse Raider (Crush Card and Virus Cannon were also there but already dealt with.) From here I can see one way of winning. When his turn starts, Ishizu should have no cards on the field except BHbT targeting Blue Eyes, though she could've summoned something in main phase 2. I'll assume she either doesn't, or does in attack mode to bait Blue Eyes. If Kaiba draws Kaiser Glider (very good odds with only 4 cards in his deck), he could use Silent Doom to summon Lord of Dragons, Flute of Summoning Dragon to get out Kaiser Glider, and then tribute his three monsters for Obelisk, removing the threat from BHbT. Ishizu would not be ready and even with a monster to defend, she would probably lose from his attack with only 1400 life points remaining. If he draws anything else though he's probably fucked even with Blue Eyes as a wall if he chooses not to attack.
Edit: I'm a fool and forgot Kaiba drew Polymerization on his last turn. Unless he cheats to draw something not on the top he can't do the combo I just mentioned to get out Obelisk in one turn. He could however force a draw with Ring of Destruction as embarassing at that'd be.
Imagine during the activation of subspace battle, yugi reveals Ra and jaden reveals winged kuriboh and we could see Ra getting slayed by it
9:56
You could say that he's turned into a real *Wiseman*
Here's another idea for one of these Yu-Gi-Oh Analysis video, and it might be the most difficult one; the unseen duel between Yugi and Joey at the end of the Battle City Tournament.
Hot hott take indeed. But that was early in yugioh and joey was really rising the ranks I beleive it was a draw or a win for joey. If yugi let him win is another thing. But im certain of this. Atem is stubborn and would only want to see there best friend gain respect and there red eyes back in a legitimate way and not just hand it back to him. It goes against his character. Based on that alone it HAS to have been a draw or JOEY WON
I'm pretty sure yugi gave it to him. Explaining why he insisted. Joey wouldn't refuse like before
@@Jiron127 gave ?? Why he said joey must duel him for it at the end of battle city to see how far he has come. Yugi would not just give it back to him.
Please do more of these.
It's really fun to relive old duels like this
what an amazing season & ending, wow
TGS Anime: "(Archfiend of Gilfer is) The only graveyard effect monster in Yugi's deck."
Electromagnetic Turtle: "Dude, uncool. 😢"
Also, can confirm that Contact Out can negate Magic Cylinders. My own duel had Hela, Generaider Boss of Doom and Alghoul Mazera on my side, Mazera attacked, opponent uses Magic Cylinder, I activate Hela's quick effect to tribute Mazera and swap for a graveyard zombie monster, and the result was that Magic Cylinder fizzled. Cool trick.
Jaden regain his love of dueling while with yugi I am hoping jaden wins.
I hope yugi won
That’s why I think it makes more sense for him to lose. It’s a better story for him as a character to have still regained the loving of dueling through a loss than to win and to just love winning
I hope they conclude it and Yugi even remembers the duel
Thematically jaden had to lose and realize it’s ok to lose, he needed to understand that duels aren’t always “end of the world” type ordeals and sometimes it’s ok to just slow down and enjoy the game.
@@ShadowArabesque Wish Seto learned that too but he had to rip the fabric of space just to challenge a dead pharoah in the after life who probably has access to Exodia right now.
My dream duel has always been Joey vs Jaden. Battle of the underdogs.
Wouldn't Cyrus vs Joey be a much better fit? I don't think Jaden can be considered an underdog
@@SKR-97 That's because Jaden is not, nor was he ever, considered an "underdog". Underdog implies that he is not the favorite to win, that everyone has already counted him out. Jaden is the exact opposite of that, to the point where the entire universe functions only to give Jaden free wins left and right. Being in Slifer Red doesn't make Jaden an underdog, it's a flimsy plot device that tries to make him look like an underdog in order to make him more believable, relatable, and likable as a protagonist, when no one really believes that Jaden's dueling ability is reflective of his dorm color.
Man I wanted to see the rest of the fuel the idea of two protagonists dueling it out was a lot of fun.
I find it really interesting you considered Yugi of the past, with the 3 Egyptian god cards and Atemu by his side, to be his prime.
I mean, granted, he doesn't have the god cards anymore in present gx, which were powerful assets to his deck for sure, but the older Yugi of present gx was, after all, the one who managed to defeat Atemu with the 3 god cards in the ceremonial duel on his own.
So Yugi proved to be even stronger than Atemu and deserved the title of "king of games".
Despite being down 3 of his strongest cards, I personally think that his greater amount of experience and strategic knowledge would have made adult Yugi an even more dangerous opponent.
Now, I would have loved to see THAT duel!
Great video though, your detailed insights were so helpful and entertaining! I've always been curious about this specific duel and not knowing the outcome has irked me for years. Your video helped me scratch that itch :D
You forget that, during the ceremonial duel, Yugi made a deck SPECIALLY to counter Atem and the Egyptian Gods.
@@AzureRoxe Yugi beat the gods yes, but the team of yugi and atem together especially with the gods are stronger than yugi was individually
@@jj209th6 the POINT of the duel was that Yugi became stronger than Atem and the Egyptian Gods.
@@AzureRoxe okay, now give yugi a second person of pretty much equal skill, with both of them thinking of potential plays to make with their hands, and give him the gods, which at that point he had been the only person to counter successfully, and he's still objectively stronger than he is alone
“Atemu”- 🤓
Just say Atem like everyone else instead of trying be be special
Yugi pulls out graceful charity into pot of greed
Imagine Yugi playing against a modern deck lmao
Imagine an obelisk deck

Wanted to watch this one later but I was surprised and saddened to see my GX binge watch on Hulu end with Season 3, so figured I might as well just see this duel now.
Perfect video, good vibes 👌
Something about Yugi's unblinking eyes during some of the scenes here always bothered me. Maybe it is because his are rounded and bigger than Jaden's (and a decent number of GX characters).
Especially when he discards Gilford. That stare haunts me.
@@SWad250 yeah me too I was really bothered

Jaden is such a good protagonist, honestly my favorite
I think jaden and yusei are good protags
I honestly agree
He is a good protag but yugis my favourite protagonist
Juden's arch honestly a trip. He is your typical happy-go-lucky guy that is oblivious that people around him hating on him, and it is honestly very entertaining to watch people around him get pissed at how dense he is. Then the writer give him trauma, wow. Then he tried to recover his younger, happier day, like wow.
I do have to say...very underrated Yu-Gi-Oh! moment in the franchise. Yugi and Jaden - who have become so used to dueling for the fate of the world and all took a look at themselves and just...laughed. Honestly a really heartwarming moment that I think a lot of us missed out on initially. I'd argue that scene is in my top three moments in the franchise. Gotta be honest, tugged at my heartstrings to see my boys laughing and having fun.
Thank you so much for catching that the play to negate Magical Cylinder was 100% legal specifically because its a card that targets. It also won’t work against Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX for the same reason (I learned that the hard way).
I believe it would be a draw, with both realizing they just used their last cards after the kiribo ordeal tou suggested, only forgetting because of how much fun they were having, which is actually the best way to end it in all honesty, as it both keeps the ambiguity of who's better, doesn't involve exodia, and would really drive home the point of the duel, with both losing because of a simple mistake regarding how much fun they were having.
To me the fact that Jaden looks at the sky after the duel and says "I will get stronger" tells me that he lost. Also "successor" does not always mean someone becoming better than the former. It just means he takes over the title, as in maybe Yugi had a wife and some kids and retired...
That’s still a long ways away. Since GX only takes place 2-3 years after the events of DM.
@@supreme_king_obama1158 true good point
Judai also says “Gotcha” which he never said when he lost
It has been well established by YGOTAS that Yugi dies a virgin lol
A few minor corrections
yugi has 3 GY effects in his deck, not 1.
The 3 being: Eletrical manteic turtle , beast of Glifer and ( techincally ) Ra
2ndly jaden could not of summoned his neo's fusion in defense mode as slifer's second mouth effect takes 2000 from whatever postion it was summoned in and Since the fusion has 2000 defense points, it would of been destroyed meaning he would of had to summon it in attack mode if he decided to do your play you suggested meaning if we assume he top decks monster reborn he lost using this play. basically he would of either had to summon flare neos purely to get monsters off the field so he wouldn't lose summoning it in defense mode, or summoned it in attack and pray.
Also Osiris doesn't go back to graveyard because anime God cards don't have that limitations only real cards do.
@@duck20484 they do have it in the anime as well
@@duck20484 anime god cards deal with that problem a lot most notably shown with Yami Marik constantly using monster reborn on Ra for game or pain to win by forfeit

@@StigmaKRL He said in the video that Jaden's card in his hand when Neos was attacking was Winged Kuriboh.

Yugi has another card that has a graveyard effect. His electromagnetic Turtle. Although this is a card he seems to randomly side in and out
