![EVERY Yugioh Character Ranked Worst To Best! [Duel Monsters Tier List]](/img/tr.png)
I limited my choices to only 15 characters from each of the series.
Some of those characters where cut off due to some problems with “tierlistmaker”
Finally these are my personal choices, yours may differ and that’s fine!
I’d love to hear who you would move up or down.
Hope you all enjoyed regardless 😁
You're missing the combining form of Tori on that list too
You should put zark in s
Yusaku at S pls
Yami Yugi lost against Joey in an off screen duel
Yami/Yugi lost in the second episope to a video.
Tristan is S tier because he knows when the sun will rise
Also because his voice gives him super strength
Also, don't forget he's always The Blind and he can snap necks with his mind
Tristan survived a run with a scissor, i'ts definitely S tier
He also met Spiderman.
The abridged version>Zarc
Kaiba is S tier Mate, only 3rd rate duelists with 4th rate decks would say otherwise
I agree!
Kaiba has a 107th rate deck.
Anand Shirendev because kaiba‘s deck is to slow. He just normal summon, set a trap and pass. Everyone could counter that
@Nyndeed I mean you can't really say it's slow when all decks sorta followed that same formula back then, if they are all slow then wouldn't they all be balanced? I don't remember that many decks pre gx that would let you special summon like 2 to 3 monsters in 1 turn. That being said I would agree that while the strategy is basic you can't really fault the deck because the game was more primitive back when it started compared to present. Before you would build a deck with a balanced amount of spells traps and monsters, nowadays you could get away with playing very little back row if your monsters have the right synergy and appropriate effects to negate your opponent.
Sanlaitto Yero Ouberdoraivu My point is that a lot of the duelist in vrains or arcv could otk kaiba or yugi. Yugi and kaiba are just that high cause of nostalgia
Kaiba instantly summoned a destroyed a random guy in a back alley with obelisk. Instant SSS class
I did that in duel links links so
@@Deathmare235 No-one asked tho
@@obinoscopekenobi9450 no one asked about the other comment as well so
@@Deathmare235 No one asked you to tell him that tho
@@tygarner9142 no one asked you to say that tho
Don’t even have to watch. Tristan’s automatically S tier cuz he runs lava battle guard
Lmao 😂
He wins because he runs both Swamp Battleguard AND Lava Battleguard. When combined, they're almost unstoppable.
🐐
Cyber Commander and Rpboyaro
Lol
The fact that *THE CHAZZ* Is even on a tier list is insulting, *THE CHAZZ* is beyond such concepts
ItsJustSilver true
Manjoume THUNDER
@@simpsbelongtothegulags3702 MAJOUME-KING
RE FUCKING TWEET
CHAZ IT UP! CHAZ IT UP!
Kaiba Is S Tier. When someone creates an actual time machine just to duel a pharaoh then that man deserves mad clout
He launched cards to space so they can learn how to duel.
actually he built a machine to heaven
But Jack tho... my guy has the highest duel score and great win ratio and he dueled more people than usual characters
He literally tributes himself to summon Atem
Respect+
You can be a good scientist without being a good duelist. Kaiba's deck was actually crap, and he would get beaten by anyone for any later shows, like Zane, Yusei, Jack etc. Heck, even yuma could probably beat him. You gotta take your nostalgia goggles off man.
Imagine including tea in this tier but not adding Alexis from GX
Alexis is s tier Cathy is A tier
@@Serena69420 since when? cathy lose to a dog, Alexis don´t.
Exactly
Imagine caring that much about someone else’s opinion
Right ok I'm tripping. I was looking for her and couldn't find. She even appeared in arc v and won. A tier, if not S tier easily.
That incredibly awkward moment where you include Yuma’s classmates who do pretty much nothing but don’t include the Arclights or most of the Barian Emperors.
This guy clearly doesn't know yugioh very well. At least the series beyond 5DS :/
This guy hasn't a clue at all his rankings make no sense.
Did the emperors dirty
@@NAS_NE_DOGONYAT VECTOR
I was waiting for Sora from Arc-V and was kinda sad to realize he wasn't on the list lol
You've made joey a 3rd rated duelist with a 4th rated deck
I want to LIKE, but it's at a perfect number. So instead, I'll just comment lol Wheeler sucks.
your right
I mean, the guy beat Yugi. I'd say high B. To be fair, I lost interest so I haven't watched Yu-Gi-Oh beyond 5D's, and therefore, don't know anyone in Zexal, Arc V, or Vrains.
"NYEH"
Yeah by the way, he missed the guy who even said this to Joey
Kaiba pulled Obelisk out of the ground when it suppose to no longer be active - instant S class
Joseph Lamontagne wow he summons obelisk back in the day he sacrificed obelisk
Joseph Lamontagne .............it’s dueling skills.....not top 10 flexes in anime by Nux taku
the cloud server let him do it because it allowed him to use every card he used before
He also absorbed literal death into his wrist
Benjamin Ruiz That’s his skill lol. Not a flex if it’s what you do on the regular
"I'll be ranking these characters off their prime... Sike, let's look at their track record."
Jaden deserves S Tier easily
Destroyed by atem
@@athersyed7434 jaden won
Says he's judging the characters in their prime
Also counts every loss...
Yeah that got me too. I was very confused and conflicted a lot
Exactly. Then why not count all the losses from playmaker during the Lost Incident. This is basically a zero logic biased tier.
yeah, *THE CHAZZ* would most definitely be high A if we judged him based on his greatest accomplishments. If you look at his record, he managed to beat nearly the *entirety of the student body of duel academy* at least TWICE (also winning the GX tournament in the process), making him have the most wins of ANY CHARACTER IN ANY OF THE SERIES. His biggest failiures come from his losses against adrian Gekko and Sartorius.
i am gonna be honest
after looking at the b tier and above
he doesn’t know what he is fucking talking about
@@roboppi6368 He did in one video comparing the protagonists. I'm not kidding.
Seto Kaiba is most definitely an S class duelist. There is a reason why he is Yami Yugi's rival. It wasn't a walk in the park for the pharaoh to win against Seto. Every duel really went down to the last wire especially in the arena at Battle City. Even in their first duel, it took Exodia to win. He even beat Ishizu Ishtar and she was using magic. Kaiba also has the will to draw whatever card he needs and this has been stated in the series multiple times. Kaiba is an S class duelist.
Exactly😂
Kaiba's biggest problem is that he always loses to a big villain. He even lost to Noah, the antagonist of his family's arc, leaving Yugi to clean up the pieces again.
Music and Movies also Ishizu magic started to fail vs Kaiba
To be fair yugi litterally has kaiba beat every single time they dueled (the second time against kaiba counts since he has him beat but yugi didn’t wanna accidentally kill him)
Jack atlis
I kind of funny how the special ability of Yuma and Astral (Destiny Draw), is just something that Atem can do anytime he wants
Atem can do whatever he wants hes a Pharoah which means hes a god
@@Xxiz268 yep
Atem pull any card that he have in the deck, yuma and astral creates new cards from thin air to counter the enemy ace card
No yugi has to be desperate.
I am watching Zexal for the first time now, early on when Shark and Yuma tag dueled against those gangsters they called out their opponents for stacking their decks to draw the exact situational cards they needed at the right time. Knowing Yuma can do shining draw later (and the writer does this for practically every character except Brave Battler) makes this hilarious.
I say kite is a S tier simply for his impressive win ratio and the fact he never lose to yuma and astral
to be fair he would never lost if vetrix dueled fair
@@jirachijannikexactly I can't stand the fact he put him in A
The fact that the Chazz isn't in a tier above the rest is a crime punishable by graveyard.
you mean the GY
But he not in the graveyard yet
How dare you he's beyond a mere tier list
Thank you finally someone under stands
should be removed from play
I really do think Jaden should be S tier.
Jaden and Seto both should be there.
Yes
Kaiba ist better than Jaden
I dont think so but i dont think seto is better then him either
@@spoopybeta they arent good enough in my opion yugi would probably beat jaiden and yugi will obviously win against seto.
12:54 Pegasus had Aster Phoenix in his top 5 best duelist (as number 4 and Kaiba as #2) so yeah they're comparable, same tier probably. Also Zane is easily A tier, he rivaled Jaden, he beat him and then got a draw in their final duel. Peak Zane is easily protagonist tier he gives me a bit of Kaiba vibes with a better personality but overall he's A or high B because the writing fucked him over with his personal arc
Zane’s an S guaranteed he’s probably at the bottom
why do you say he got fucked over?
@@Deathmare235 zane is a tier but not better than kaiba bro no way
@@marcobelli6856Zane slams kaiba
@@Hollowthekingthat’s a massive L my guy… prime Kaiba would rape Zane in front of a crying Cyrus while Alexis sucks kaiba off
3:53 Yugi defeats Diva. Atem only comes back because Zork (the spirit of the Millennium Ring) corrupts Diva. So Yugi didn’t really lose to Diva, he lost to Zork
🖐️
My tier list:
S- The Chazz and every other girl
F- everybody else
Truly god speaks through you
Chazz it up!
@@kurovisuals4272 I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess
Chazz it up
Dark magician girl should be on here, she is basically a bigger mascot than kuribo, she's even the first magician yugi plays in the movie. She is also a duelist while still being a monster.
TGS: * hovers Zane over C tier *
Me: Don’t You do it
TGS: * puts him in A tier *
Me: whew
TGS:* reconsiders and puts him in B *
Me: *Internal Screaming*
Darkest I know man it killed me inside
Thicc Boi he says Zane is his favourite character but doesn’t put him S
Fucker threw his good deck away to play with Cyberdark Dragons.
The disrespect on Zane
Zane is tier B or A.
I have to say its absolutely hilarious with how yugioh designs go. Like when the list starts to get low on the bottom, you see normal looking Tristan with all these crazy other looking designed characters LOL
Me watching this whole video is just me going “No, don’t. You did. What the hell,”.
Yubel in B?? She literally went around and systematically beat 99% of all the GX characters using their own decks against them. Easy A class if not S. Yubel us incredibly strong and versatile.
@Forma do Chaos this isn't a tier list based on what cards are in the decks. It's just a ranking if the best duelist based on their abilities.
@Estrela Negra 😫🙄 please look at what the video is actually ranking before saying stupid stuff
@@crashboredom2 Yeah, a good deck doesnt matter if they cant use it right, a bad deck can be good if used well, I mean no one expects an awful deck to be used in a good way, so it would surprise someone more easily
@@kinglysander100 Nah I think you should watch the video again. Next time do your due diligence by being more deductive rather than typing nonsensical messages 😂
Yubel in general was pretty bad deck wise. She depended on using the sacred beast fusions. Which honestly is a pretty bad card where you can just put your card in defense position or negate the attack then the card will be 0 attack points.
Just saying, Tea had 2 duels over the course of the series and won them both
100% Win ratio, more than Kaiba
Kryenfer Rebirth and atem
Kaiba the best diva the best
Actually 3 she beat Joey in the 2nd episode
She had three.
tristan is an infinite tier cos he knows hat when lose the duel u lose ur soul, when the sun rises, his voice gives him powers, he can snap necks with his mind, he can change his skin colour through will and can say the N-word, he met spiderman, he met santa claus and even got a hug from him etc.
Tristan is F Tier.
@@kokucat SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS+*
@@kokucat Your F-tier :)
I think you needed an SS tier for the OP characters, this way yugi/kaiba can be s tier instead of being in the same tier as for example shay. Aster also deserves to be in a different tier than joey
Yes, Pegasus rated Joey as better than Aster after all
Joey should be A
He beat Marik with Anime Ra by himself without any God card
I don't care what people say,He won that game
Granted, Dark Marik wanted to win through torture, but underestimated Jounouchi's will power. Otherwise, Dark Marik wouldn't have brought back Ra for only one turn.
The thing I don't get is how was Joey able to withstand the force of ra???
YEAH
LET'S GIVE JOEY A TIER CAUSE
HE STAND AGAINST A F*CKING ILLUSION GRAPHIC...
Only imagine if my english is better
You will see the rost
@@KudoShinichii1412 it was in the shadow realm. All monsters played in a shadow duel come to life.
Yes and that would've ended the arc early, but Kazuki Takahashi wasn't having any of that.
But Yugi defeated all three Egyptian god cards without a god card!
Snipe Rider I agree Yugi and Atem should’ve switched places
But the Egyptian God cards suck so it all evens out
lucky sevens they didn’t suck in the anime
@@kingofgrim4761 or did they? If you watch yugi and kaiba's duel in battle city they spend more time trying to summon the damn things just for both of them to be immediately destroyed. Not to mention ra has some random summoning condition that requires the user to read Hyrogliphics. I'm convinced that yugi, kaiba and marik were only using them to flex on everyone.
@Anand Shirendev you could say the same for great moth in season 1. The show plays up boss monsters cuz it's a 22 minute commercial, cards with difficult summoning conditions that result in oversized beat sticks are terrible cards. The God cards, even with their anime effects are just flex cards.
I feel like this list should have been based on the characters at the end of the series, and while duel records should be looked at, I don’t think they’re that important. You emphasized losses a bit much.
You should've watched Zexal all the way through
It gets very interesting
Yes I did watch all zexal it dose get interesting but I don’t like the art style
@@ravnoorsingh4955 I can kinda agree to that statement
@@hikaruu4343 yeah I mean don’t get me wrong that zexal is bad it’s good but the art style ain’t my cup of tea
Oh yes very interesting with the multiple screw the rules I can pull whatever I want draws and a bunch of people without any mouth arguing with eachother and don thousand saying screw the rules u play what I say u play
Putting the Chazz in C tier despite the fact in season 4 he defeated Aster and could have defeated Jaden, but choose to not use the trap card that would have won him the game.
Why didn’t he
@@ARod3 because the plot of the episode was to get chazz to become a pro duelist so they made him duel jaden and aster but in a ojama uniform and act like a clown. He dueled jaden and lost on purpose because someone higher up told him to, and then dueled aster but he didn't want to be a clown anymore and enter the pro league because he was actually a great duelist so he didn't throw against aster and beat him
@@ARod3 because plot armor
Aster lost because plot! Lets be honest here Aster is a better duelist and the true rival of yugioh GX
@@soul24311 aster sucks as a character tho, he is the counterpart of jaden and his deck, but he never did anything meaningfull, chazzs deck sucks and his design too, but he is a great character, he is THE CHAZZ
>Yugioh Tier list
>The Chazz doesn’t have his own tier above the rest
Big wrong
Kazoo God YESSSSSS I AGRE
Yugi defeated Yami Yugi, Bakura, and held his own against Kaiba and Diva. On top of that Yami says before their final duel, that Yugi has the same skills as himself, he just lacked confidence.
I think this guy explains it perfectly, Yugi was the only one who could beat Atem because of his knowledge of him, but Yami was the better duelist between the two of them against any other opponent.
That was obviously plot armor. No way he would have in a more realistic story
@@RMor66 Other than Gold Sarcophagus Anime Effect, Yugi beat Atem who literally has the most powerful luck boost possible. But DSoD Yugi is way stronger than both Atem and his past self, able to pretty much defeat both DSoD Kaiba (who beats Atem btw,) and Regular Diva. And DSoD Kaiba DID lose, his facedown card was Polymerization as he had it in hand and never played it until his last turn.
@@amberxv4777exactly
No calm down
18:27 He only beat Chazz because he interupted the duel with an ad break… Gotta love the dub sometimes, he actually broke the fourth wall
Kaiba willed Obelisk into existence despite the gods literally not existing anymore. S tier my boi Kaiba dammit.
Dmitri Eriksson He also denied death by just sheer willpower, so that’s a thing
I believe, personally, that it was his magical ability, since he is the better reincarnation of priest Seto from the past, just like how Yugi is the better reincarnation of yami. He is able to do those things because it's his connection to obelisk. But is that s tier? Yes.
keith pate *Atem
Dmitri Eriksson lol you god damn right
he didnt willed it. It was coded in the last fckign second as it's kaibas network and his cards were all digital. So yea kaiba pro coder
Why did you use pictures of Atem and Yusei for The Chazz?
cpMetis i dont know CHAZZ can CHAZZ IT UP
chaz has been possesing them the whole time and thats how they always win
Nope moreso cause chazz is garbagio in diapers, he can't even ABC right, Zane, Jaden, and Jesse are all better duelists than manjoume/ princeton. "The Chazz" couldn't even handle Darkness let alone Kagemaru.
@@ANexus21smh do you seriously not understand that it's a joke?
Dark Link121 are u dumb😂
I think its sort of unfair how you ranked some of the characters. I dont think win- loss ratio is really a reflection on their skill, its not how much they have won or lost, it should be how they preformed and who they lost to who matters. Because a lot of the time they played flawlessly, but they lost because the person they were playing against pulled some bullcrap or they were just better, doesn't mean they were trash. I'd say a good example of this was Chazz and Bastion, they lost to main characters and villains, but were sti regarded as very skilled and talented duelists.
I know this is an old video, but if you ever do it again, there are some things to consider.
One thing to think of is where the characters end, not necessarily how well they did early on. Chazz starts as a C tiered character, but by the end of the series he was in the same league as Aster, even beating him once. Then there is Syrus who was in the same league as his brother by the end of the series, even though he was pretty weak during the beginning and middle.
If you are going strictly by skill, Zarc is probably only D-status since he was easily outplayed by almost every character he dualed against. What saved him was his near unstoppable deck. However, if you are including his deck, He's S-rank due to the anime boosting his card effects to godly levels, and him defeating a dozen dualists in a row. Same with Dartz considering he took both Yugi and Kaiba on at the same time.
Mai should be up a tier. She was going to beat Marik but Marik virtually cheated to win; and while Marik didn't win a single dual without cheating that I can think of, he did push Yugi to his utmost max despite Yugi being given a card to directly counter Marik's strategy. Therefore Mai is easily B-Tier
Yubel should also be higher, considering she beat Zane, and the only reason Jaden beat her was because he used Super-poly, which is a broken card. Same with Rafael, considering he did beat yugi in a fair dual, and Yugi needed two legendary dragons to beat him in a rematch.
Otherwise I'd say the placements are pretty well done.
I mean, he said he was going to rate them according to their peak... instead he went with W/L ratio...
But then the professor should also be A tier he took yuya and akaba on at the same time. Declan should be S tier he out dueled everybody it is that yuya beated him because of the fk irritating action cards
@@ramonvanesveld2558 To be fair, he put Declan at really high A tier, only behind Kaiba the Yugis, and Yusei, making Declan the 5th top duelist on the list. That's pretty high. I wouldn't quiet put him in the same class as Yugi or Yusei, those two are just OP and have unique abilities to draw cards they need when loosing. You are right about Declan's father though. Declan's father was a brutal dualist who was probably as good if not possibly better than Declan. It's hard to say how good he was with just a single dual as luck/plot armor may have helped in that one dual, but considering he probably taught many of the best dualist in the fusion realm, he's up their in ranks.
@@crazymallets ohh didn't know that in the ranks it goes by order but still kaiba and Declan should be 2 steps higher in the A tier above yuya and the other guy because yuya would have lost his last duel if action cards didn't exist. But still Dartz, yubel and Diva should also be A tier.
@@ramonvanesveld2558 I don’t know if you noticed it, but he reorganizes the specific tiers at the end and Kaiba and Declan are below Yugi so top 5. I’m assuming you just didn’t notice or stay long enough to see
The thing with Syrus is he wasn't necessarily a rubbish Duelist. He just had TERRIBLE self-esteem due to being Zane's younger brother.
Always living in the shadow of someone everyone respected
Exactly!😂
I agree with this a lot, it would be so hard for syrus to replicate Zane but what should be noted is that Zane applauded syrus after one of his duels as an obelisk blue student
Plus Zane kind of put a mental block onto Syrus. Syrus beat Jaden if he used power bond but didn't due to Zane. Personally I feel like Syrus was the character in GX with the most character growth.
Zane should be an S
akiza is at least B tier,she is a very talented duelist with a very powerful ace card that she uses very well
How dare you think she would be better than The Chazz
@@Cu_Za999 Because nobody liked ya before you went to North Academy.
@@michaelbainbridge7335 everyone loves chazz!!! CHAZZ IT UP CHAZZ IT UP CHAZZ IT UPPPP
Exactly. C Tier? She was literally on the verge of beating Yusei twice, he only ever won because of plot armor.
Yuma relies on astral so much he literally had a mental breakdown when they got separated during a duel
And Yugi was barely functional the first time he dueled without Atem.
At the end of s1 he goes toe to toe with kite. Astral barely helped. Shows how he developed from being bronks bitch to a good duelist
@@duckduckgoose2474 explain when he duelled tray
@@Missing-Ace yes in s1. After that he beat vetrix and faker. Theres something called character development moron
@@Missing-Ace
I honestly recommend watching Zexal subbed. Sure it starts off slow, but as soon as Kaito arrives the plot picks up and Zexal II, in my opinion, has some of the strongest and most coherent storytelling in the Yugioh franchise. Zexal dub sucks though.
Yusei and Jacks connection with the crimson dragon thing allowed them to create transformations for their dragons in the middle of Their duels. basically creating cards out of nowhere. and breaking the extra deck rule.
There’s no extra rule in the Anime and creating cards doesn’t matter it’s like if you already had the card to begin with
Jaden is S tier man season 4 Jaden was on par with Yugi so much that Yami felt his dueling strength was so strong he felt he needed slifer against him
I mean Yugi used Slifer against Bakura so
He uses Egyptian gods every time he duels lmao
@@rabihalawani7174 Atem wanted to fight Jaden personally he said "his strength is appealing to my duelist soul so i want to test it out ".
He then says after he summons Slifer that "You are a duelist worthy of having God as your opponent"
Goku Black That doesn’t make him on par lmao. He’s definitely not as good. However, he is good enough for S tier imo
@@UmmItsMJ shut up he could beat yugi I don't know what you talking about
Zane and Aster are definitely A tier with Zane being closer to the S tier threshold. And Kaiba is definitely S tier
Kiaba and zane are the best when it comes to being legit and not having any special cheat power's
As much as I'd like to disagree and say Joey is also one of them, I really can't. Even though he doesn't have any special powers, a lot of his deck is luck-based.
Crow on the other hand (as far as I know) is also the best when it comes to actual skill. Haven't watched 5D's all the way through, but the fact that he stood up to a God card with only 50 LP is impressive.
Kaiba not being in S when the few times he lost he was being cheated out of a win and zarc, the guy who bodied most of the people in A tier and didn't even lose because he got unfused being in B is a sin
@@MugenEclipse didn’t Kaiba literally got cheated out of a loss from Aigami and Yugi granted that’s in DSOD
I’d say Declan is actually the best in terms of skill without cheating. Declan to me is Kaiba if kaiba could synchro Xyz or pendulum summon. He literally developed his skills to master all the different summoning methods then made a school to specialize in different summoning methods to defend his dimension from future attack
@@247Lilboy what about Yuya he managed to beat everyone in his original form
My opinion
-Kaiba should be S tier
-Pegasus should be high A
-Antinomy (Bruno) should be A tier
-Bakura should be higher than Crow, and Marik should be right in front of Bakura
bakura wasn't that great of a duelist lost most of his duels
@@zozidedodo780 so did marik. i mean honestly out of the important duel he only won against bakura. Against Mai: Deus Ex Machina bullshit (you need to speak accient egyptian otherwise mai would have won).
Against Joey? Well Joey fell into a coma, otherwise he would have won. And in the 4-way duel he was the first to drop out.

Lol, 3 orichalcos field spells, infinite attack divine serpent, 20000 atk shunorous, it’s arms that are always 300 points stronger then any atk or def of a monster, mirror knight calling, kuytora that absorbs all damage like wtf, who made these cards? Lol
@@33dbz atlantis of course.
@@33dbz Watch your tongue or you will be food to the Great Leviathan
Jaden hasn't done anything too broken? Man's can literally read your mind, know your entire deck and know which order of cards his deck is in (telepathy, communication with card spirits, future vision) and has destiny draw yet still chooses not to use his powers unlike a certain nameless pharaoh who likes to cheat and draw any card he wants cause he can. The reason why they banned pot of greed was single handedly the fault of Atem.
If it came down to a brawl Jaden could enslave your entire deck + exodia and kill your ancestors let alone you.
The fuck are you talking about lol
Jaden lost the final duel against yami
@@marcobelli6856no he didn’t
Yes he did
Bakura should be S tier. Dude's strategies were flat out genius. Plot armor was the only thing he couldn't outduel.
Zarc defeated everyone in one duel, and he's B tier ? hahahaha
that bugged me really bad he put zarcs counter parts above him and like 3 people he defeated with ease above him
Yeah and zarc had all his cards nerfed and some banned after transitioning to the tcg AND servant is still abused today
Synthesis Strategies You can‘t really put anime effects like the one from Astrograph in the regular game without severely nerfing them. Honestly ZARC probably had the best deck of the entire series, beating about 6 incredibly strong duelists that brought out their aces without even getting 2 turns after the initial one.
@@chromegnj478 I know that I'm just saying even in the tcg with their nerfed effects they've managed to stay abusable with how good they are
That‘s true, but it basically only sees as much play as it does because it‘s generic for pendulum decks
Why say this is them in their prime but then take off points from when they're still growing? That makes no sense....
KINGD353 cough Zane
I can’t believe The Chazz didn’t get the S tier- Infact he deserves his own tier! Chazz it up!
Great video I know it’s old but I think it would have been better if you added either Alexis or Sartorius for GX and not Chumley as Chumley basically didn’t exist past mid season 1.
Glad to see Yusei as S class. He had some of the most technically intricate special summoning strategies in the whole anime imo. Like when he summoned Stardust Dragon against Team Taiyo. That shit was raw

Alanzin tell him he never lost

@@Phantica I agree they would
TGS doesn't mention the duel with Yugi which he almost won I'm talking about Jaden btw
Yuya is more like a real Yu-Gi-Oh player improving his deck everytime he lost and takes that as sort of "experience"
Almost winning doesnt mean anything. Joey almost won against Marik BUT since he technically didnt he didnt count it.
Also Yuya himself has a 100% winrate, right? Unless you count Yuto taking over and partially controlled by Zark
@@riskyworks Unfortunately no. He lost against Reiji in their second duel, against Sergey and Jack in the fortune cup exhibition match. Yuya did improve and beat Reiji later on and also beat Jack Atlas twice.
@@LS-qs9ju Zarc lost twice, his loses were only against Ray. He lose with the very same cards, seems to implied that Zarc only has 1 weakness and if you don’t have those 4 special cards you’re aren’t going to win, pretty OP if you ask me. Also it looks like it depends of the duelist as the Professor tried to use it and Zarc and counter it while he couldn’t against Ray (again lol).
Zarc is almost impossible to defeat and he defeated 11 duelist in a row, that makes him one of the best if not the strongest character in all Yugioh.
The fact that you put Jaden yugioh and yugioh moto on a fucking a teir list with kiba and jack is insane
How can you put Tristan Taylor to make the list but not alexis rhodes ??? ;0

Jaden should have been in S tier. And about his draw as Supreme King, if it hadn't been a screw the rules moment, he would've beaten Axel.
Yami screws the rules way more along with several other duelist
That's not even talking about his hacks, like CONTROLLING THE F-ING DUEL SPIRITS AKA He can literally see when and which monsters are going to come from his deck and the one of his opponent if he wanted to. He can also, just grade his opponents by looking at then, and saw just Yugi with the 3 God cards and knew that he was highest threat to date(Which was true) he had to face.
He is the only protagonist outside of playmaker that has not blatantly cheated.
Yami can stack the deck with his will.
Yusei can top deck majestic dragon.
Don't get me started on Yuma.
Yuya can add cards frond the 'Yu' boys to his deck, mainly Phantom Knights.
I don't count extra deck card creation unless it is explicitly stated that a character should not be able to do that.
Also he is the biggest hero out of the bunch. He has ended planetary, universal, and reality destroying threats along with whatever kind of threat Darkness was (I think planetary).
He also is the only one that has any real character development. He is best boi.
Franshesko Uruena h it's like endgame since he saved the world even when he lost (Nightshroud stole everyone) (probably not Kaiba and Yugi) but 3rd Yuma 2nd saving all 3 worlds and 1st Yuya saving 4 dimensions (debatable about 1st and 2nd)
Deathmare Judai is first. Yuya is second and Yuma is third.
Yuya saved four dimensions which were actually just one that was split into four by Zarc. Judai saved 12 WHOLE dimensions from Yubel by preventing her from summoning Super Fusion God using Chain Material. Judai saved all of reality.
Dimension is a plane of existence in terms of fiction, not just one earth.
Yuma saved Earth, Barian World, and Astral World. That's cute. Even disregarding the previous feat, Judai defeated the Light of Destruction, a universal threat(which has been stated in the show) that has both conquered and destroyed numerous worlds and species.
It is not even a contest in terms of who is the biggest hero of the bunch. I am not saying he is the best duelist of the bunch, but definitely the most developed protagonist.
Hold on axel brody had jadens number in every duel they had. Each time they fought axel eaither had to force the draw (which is harder) or he gave the win to Jaden since he got what he wanted.
My Tierlist:
S2- Atem

A- Zane Truesdale, Jack Atlas, Yuya Sakaki & His D.D Doppelgangers, Maximilian Pegasus, Declan Akaba

@@Cartimes1 Yeah, pretty much. Welcome to D tier.
@@Cartimes1 I dont even know why chumley is there instead of Alexis. He just sucks.
The duel Yami faced between Kaiba for Battle City semifinal is fair to say it was his most difficult duel. I believe outside of the arguably equal decks and talents it was because Kaiba had a heart the purest if not strongest Yami faced until that point, bearing in mind every other duelist that faced Yami was also having intent for greater forces outside of ego on some otherworldly power trip, but not Kaiba as, despite the intention, he accepted full responsibility towards his control in the duels and drive which the other main clear villains expressed more clearly. It's interesting when you view Kaiba as the agnostic of the ancient powers because his conflicted view for him believing in himself only as when he was able to beat Pegasus's draw watch for its own game drawing Blue-Eyes, that outside of plot armor, is an indicator of his own heart of the cards seeing as how Blue Eyes reflected both arrogance or justice over the years.
Jaden 100% S Tier, has the best win loss ratio of any duelist in the series for the amount of duels he’s had, and has beaten some top tier decks having to actually follow the rules in every setting.
Negative Jaden has some of the most on screen loses (Zane,kaibaman,syrus,aster, and most likely Yugi)
Jaden was also winning against yugi muto at his peak and it's not even 100% clear whether yami beat him or not.
Jaden not in S Tier is straight disrespect, people need to stop slacking on my boy. He can see spirits, he's combined with Yubel, he's got the flexible elemental heroes, he has amazing luck and he won against Darkness incarnate.
Judai from 4th season must be S tier like you said. He was a beast in terms of dueling. Add his natural ability plus the power of the supreme king and then the support of Yubel (Only villain in Ygo franchise that was never defeated).
Personal opinion: Yugi Muto should definitely be a High S-tier as Yami has stated a few times where Yugi is the better duelist and has proven it, albeit only in the end.
keith pate and he based his opinion on the latest version of Yugi too...definitely S tier. Yugi still has the king of games title
Atem clearly threw the game. Dark Side of Dimensions is a clear indication of who’s superior. Yugi is good, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Atem.
If you really think that yugi is better than atem then you should really get help. Nobody in their right mind would even consider little Yugioh anything above A tier he isn’t better than kaiba not even close.
keith pate Atem gave him everything
@@ExclusivePokeLife Actually he beat Kaiba fair and square with a deck of his design. He might not have mystical powers but as a duelist he is S tier. Atem has plot armor, Yugi actually beat him with logic and anticipating and countering his strategies.
Yugi Muto is a straight god never lost a game should be S tier
Yuya also never lost technically, He lost when controlled by Yuto or when partially controlled by Zarc, meaning he either wasnt in control, or wasnt able to fully control himself
Actually TGS I have to ask card scaricity in the anime is a much bigger thing than in RL... does a really unskilled duelist who still wins because their deck basically carries them still get a high tier or would you lower em for it?
I honestly think Judai should be S tier when taking into account feats he displayed in anime.
He defeated Deck out Duelist by a Deck Out in Season 2 by turning his strategy against him. In Season 3 he demolished Reficule Burn combo. In Season 4 he defeated Horus Degree Lockdown Deck with Neos even if he was sealed from using Spell and Traps. Against Saiou/Sartorious in Season 4 despite being sealed away from summoning a monster and getting his deck send to graveyard through Arcana Force Monsters, he still managed to turn it around and win the duel.
Yugi should also be S tier ad he defeated 3 Gods and Yami Bakura's Destiny Board. I really think their accimplishments are worthy as Atem or Yusei's, if not even more so.
Yusei had to win with a random-mixed deck / win against 1v3 twice against Named Opponents , Atem can control whatever card he desires , both of these duelists are too OP to be compared to the rest as far as I know
@@zettgundam6317 Agree 100%. Yusei had to win with a random assortment of cards & a deck that couldn't attack his opponents' monsters while Atem had to duel with half his deck rendered unusable by the crush card. They're leagues more skilled than the rest of the cast.
Jaden wouldn't stand a chance against Yugi or Yusei
@@zettgundam6317 Yusei and the Pharaoh displayed skills to overcome seemingly impossible odds multiple times. but we can't forget the pharaoh and muto yugi literally built their deck together (which means the strategies came from the both of them). This shows in the last duel, it appeared they took the cards in their shared deck with them separately. some of them even directly represent their fusion (metaphorical to Yugi and the pharaoh) like the Pharaoh took Gaia, Yugi took Curse of Dragon - Pharaoh took Dark Magician, Yugi took Buster Blader. in terms of skill, yugi gradually keeping up, until eventually even surpassed the pharaoh - their last duel can be up to debate tho. but on multiple occasions, yugi also showed the same ability to connect the dots just like the pharaoh. they both figured out something the other overlooked. this intelligence is also essential to deck and strategy building, as well as deciding moves in actual duels.
If we talk about overcoming seemingly impossible odds (which I 100% agree that it should be one of the criteria), the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and even Jaden, all had displayed it on screen. for argument's sake, Yugi Muto had a clear on-screen duel where he overcame the impossible in the Dark Side of Dimension, with his infinite loop. the duel after that was almost his (at least in my opinion), but he passed out before he made the final move, almost identical to how Joey passed out before he could defeat Marik. How he defeated all the 3 divine beasts together in just 1 turn should also count, but one could argue it was because he saw it coming. You still can't deny his strategy building skill tho. and even with fate in his hands, Yugi also overcame that.
Oh, and Jaden also overcame "seemingly" impossible odds sometimes. He also turned the unbreakable board against the opponent, same thing happened to all the 4 protagonists of the 3 series.
I will not say who is better than who. But i believe every one the 4 of these duelists, the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and Jaden, deserves a spot in S tier
Kaiba Seto is held back by his massive ego, sadly. he will never change and we love him for that. He is right where he belongs in A tier
@@bluebearie7230 now this, this is beautiful
Pegasus once said the strongest 5 duelists he ever met were Yugi, Kaiba, Jaden, Asta and Joey, don't sleep on the boys!
It was Yugi, Kaiba, Joey, Aster then Jesse Anderson
He didn't say strongest, at least he didn't in the dubbed idk about subbed. He said, in the dubbed, his top 5 favorite duelists. Yes, Yugi and Seto are 2 of the strongest duelists, and Joey presumably got better after the series because he continued dueling and is considered world class in GX. But im guessing Yugi is his #1 because he's the king of games and pretty much the savior of the world at this point in time when Pegasus said this, Seto is probably his #2 because of the brutality and just overall mastery of the game, not to mention Kaiba created a Duel academy. Joey i can see him being #3 because of his duel style, using luck to his advantage to boost his skill, making him recognized as world class, even though Kaiba will never admit it he probably recognizes Joey as at least A tier as well. And Jessie he made the list because of his connection to the Crystal Beasts.
There are some things that I would change.
1. Rafael is S Tier. He beats the Pharaoh fair.
2. Mai is absolute The best A Tier duelist. In the duel against Marik and Joey ( Orichalcos) we can see how aggressive she can duel. And She played so well against Marik. No matter what he did, she answered perfect.
3. Ishizu is A-Tier as well. She is a better duelist than Marik I guess. Because the evil Marik said that about her Tribute Explosion tactic that she defeats him with that multiple times.
4. Odion. He is at the top of A. We all know he beats Joey fair.
Rafael isn’t s low a at most
Lol if a deck is better, can you truly say a duelist is better?
@@gangstagummybear3432 ?
Kind of sad that the Arclight siblings aren't here, the fandom ignores them too much. They were some of the most interesting characters in Zexal. Certainly better duelist and more interesting characters than a lot of Yuma''s friends that's for sure. I honestly found the Tron family more interesting than a lot of the other villains in Zexal.
Even if the series and card games didn't due them justice by giving them and their archetypes pathetic dueling abilities. They were stated to be highly experienced duelist, but had very pathetic dueling records in the anime.
Joey Wheeler deserves to be the on the A tier. His whole story in the first yugioh series is about him being on par with Kaiba and Yugi. Also Takahashi says he’s the best duelist in that series as well.
I also recall Atem saying Joey is the real King of Games in the unseen duel they had before Atem left to the afterlife.
I agree that he should be A-tier but please don't suggest he's as good as Kaiba/Yugi. Kaiba consistently kicks his ass without being pushed too far and Joey has a far inferior track record (also GTFO with your luck-based deck).
@@Bragglord Aight, but he out-dueled Marik at the end of the battle city arc. The only reason he losed to him is because he collapsed mid duel and had to forfeit . So with that being said he's had his share of bad luck as well to compensate for his share of good luck.
Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling but Joey can put up somewhat of a formidable duel against them. (i.e. duelist kingdom (joey vs Yugi). Also in yugioh Gx Pegasus states that Joey Wheeler is in his top 5 duelist of all time based on pure raw talent, and he only rivals Yugi and Kaiba.
@@Diegoxo9 once again, no, he didn't 'out-duel' him because Marik was never trying to beat him in the first place in the conventional sense. He collapsed mid-duel because that was Marik's whole plan, to ruin his soul (but he underestimated Joey- he thought it would instantly drop him but Joey was even able to retain consciousness). So no, it wasn't 'bad luck'.
'Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling'. So...? They're better, end of. I'm not saying he's miles below them but he's not even on their level.
'Also in yugioh Gx Pegasus states that Joey Wheeler is in his top 5 duelist of all time based on pure raw talent, and he only rivals Yugi and Kaiba.'
OK:
1. Pegasus has never even seen a lot of the other characters on this list in action (e.g. Z-ONE, Yusei, Marik).
2. Luck =/= skill. Joey's deck is largely luck-based.
3. If Pegasus said that in GX, then it's possible (and likely) that Joey got much better in later years.
@@Bragglord Ok but I'm saying Joey is in that conversation. Of course Yugi and Kaiba are the legendary premiere duelist but he's in that conversation. You could compare this Michael Jordan vs LeBron vs Kobe. Joey would be Kobe in that sense. Also yeah joey had a luck-based deck,whatever, but thing is though he makes good decision and his gambles pay off. His high risk high reward style of dueling has helped him pull off some crazy duels. And some of it is plot armor but if that is you're main concern than you have to admit that Yugi and Kaiba are culprits of that too.
Jaden fused with Yubel should be S Tier easy.
And even S+
Chazz literally used a Zero Attack Deck. He will always have my utmost respect.
Kaiba said at dark demension that we need "him" (Atem) so I guess that he admitted that Atem is better
Reiji Akaba for me, he mastered every summon type and was made to look incredibly strong in the series.
He should be S tier. Didn’t he defeat an army of patrol man in the synchro single handily when they attempted to capture him. Plus he beat an impossible duel against Roget with his infinite loop, constantly defeating him over and over again.
Wish Jaden was S tier, he was beating people before they knew it in season 4
Jaden in S tier that simple
yami is so overrated all of the other protagonists would kick his ass lets be real because all the archetypes just got better
@@shrektheogre2853 a friendly reminder that Yami can summon the 3 Egyptian gods in one turn and can draw all 5 exodia cards in his starting hand.
@@jotarokujo2251 thats because plot armor and cheating
@@jotarokujo2251 just cause hes the original protagonist doesnt mean hes the strongest
I’d definitely put Joey a LOT higher than B tier. He managed to compete with the top duelist of his generation with some of the worst cards ever. Not to mention that in the off screen duel against Yugi he actually beat him and obtained Red-Eyes back (this is confirmed when we see him with Red-Eyes in DSOD).

No, it's still a theory. We do not know the winner. Yugi was able to give it back even after winning the fight.

Dblove I can relate
Sadly true... the rival of yugi is jaden in the manga. And yugi needed to rely on Pharao. In fact the Pharao struggled and also nearly lost. If Plot wouldn’t exist, Jaden would win
@@Christ_the_only_way ikr
I heavily relate
Just watch GX and 5D's those two along with the original are the best
I’d bump up both Raphael and Soulburner because they both had one incredible feat that is impossible to overlook Spulburner’s surprise upset defeating revolver and of course Raphael handing Pharaoh Atem his first and arguably only legit loss
My thoughts on this list:
Bastion was definitely higher than D tier
Zarc being on B tier is insulting. He wiped out basically every duelist in one duel and took only one loss
Chazz should be at least at the lower end of B tier and certainly above Sirus
Leo and Luna should be on seperate tiers. Leo's win against Aporia was big and he carried Luna in that Devac match
Kite should be far up on A tier. He barely too any losses in Zexal and Yuma never even beat him
Axel Brodie is high B tier in my opinion along with Zane and Jessie.
Yuma should be low B tier. He was terrible for a main protagonist...
I hate Adrian, but unfortunately he was better than C tier...
Trudge lost to Yusei 3 times in a row and never won any match period. Why again is he high D tier?! (And higher than the twins)
No alexis?
The Barians should be seperated
At the end of the Zexal, Yuma is a better duelist than Aster, Yuya and Zane
I think it’s funny how zark won against most of the people in A tier and is made up of two of the others yet he is in B
Straight up S I mean all the final villains should be at least A
He was kinda portrayed as the ultimate duelist, by a stupid margin he would have been in S
Also did he really lose at all? He got split into his 4 forms mid duel, surely that's a dnf
I Know and he only loses because 4 Cards were SPECIFICALY made to beat HIM; which is the only way they beat him
@@missingno.9532 I think it was as well
Jaden should be higher. He literally draws whatever he wants just like yumi (it's a big plot point in the manga but it's also true for the anime and it's how he draws his spells like bubble blaster). It's how he beats banner and there's an episode based around a sandwich (I know lol) and the grim reaper where his powers are a plot point in season one but gets way more powerful once he becomes the supreme king and merges with yubel. In the manga he hits top bs when facing the big bad. He outright guesses six draws
In season 4 he is basically unbeatable though. Since you're going off the end of the anime he should definitely be S tier. Yubel should probably be higher too. Yubel ruled whole dimensions and wills draws as well though it's never made a plot point like jaden's.
Mai: goes from harpies to amazons
Tgs: didnt change the deck much
This here is why I wish that in Duel Links, you just unlocked the whole deck when you beat a duelist. Like, that seems to be the premise of the game. I guess similar to Japanese WDC but with more duelists.
I feel that Jaden could definitely be considered an S tier duelist. Zarc should have been higher too imo, as he beat several of the people who were in the A tier.
Pikachu jaden technically beat yami when that kid stole his deck and yami played through the kid and jaden won
It's Creature Yami wasn’t playing through that guy (his name was Dimitri). Which is why Dimitri lost, as he was just copying Yugi. So he couldn’t use Yugi’s deck with the same ability that Yugi/Yami could.
Pikachu Ik the dude did act like the people who’s decks he was using but I thought he wasn’t actually copying him but yami was playing threw him in that episode although I could have misinterpreted that part
Didn’t zarc only lose against the cards specifically designed to defeat him?
@@REALCreature um, what? Implying that kid was as good as Yami, I don't think so.
Judai is definitely S tier based purely on character development and because he has overall swag alongside yusei from season 4 onwards.
I disagree
No way
Darkskin Gaming HD and that Boy with the pendel deck
What character development has Yusei ever gotten?
Let's not get delusional, o get liking Yusei as a character.
But he is the *MOST UNDEVELOPED* main characfer in Yugioh, he get's no development and is a below average character
BoltMix because Yusei is a flat character who’s Journey is centered around him changing the world and others around him through his beliefs.
Very true, Yugi was the only one who could beat Atem because of his knowledge of him, but Atem was the better duelist between the two of them against anyone else.
I think Dartz should be S tier, he dueled the 2 best duelists at once with no extra advantage and would easily defeat them in 1v1 duel even if Yugi had the Gods.
Triple yes.
with no extra advantage. huh i honestly thought the seal was way too busted but ok
Yugi in his prime should be S-tier, unless we are counting magic. He beat Yami Yugi and he beat Kaiba in DSoD before the duel was interrupted. A confident older Yugi (GX era) is unstoppable. Kaiba definitely has to be S-tier. Pegasus considers him the 2nd best duelist in the world in GX, and the only person to beat him without cheating is (Yami) Yugi. Dartz, just due to his massively overpowered deck, is also S-tier. He nearly beat Atem and Kaiba in a 1 vs 2 match!
Even when Atem used his magic bs Yugi was still able to best him. Definitely S tier.
There no proof he beat Kaiba in dsod he had 100 lp left and it was about to be kaibas move
Kaiba beat Yugi and atem dude. Heart of the cards is cheating. Ygi loses by default. Nobody ever beat kaiba. All his loses are by cheaters. Pegasus reads minds,dartz uses fake cards Pegasus never made,atem and Yugi use heart of the cards cheat and help each other strategize,Noah held mokuba hostage. Kaiba can't lose. Also Joey>marik.
