@Rypio_39 chazz used flame wingman against jaden episode 2 but if you want to be technical im referring to the the main 2500 atk ace monsters or in Yugas case 2100 Yugi faced dark magician in the ceremony duel (Atem faced in against Arkana) Yusei faced Stardust Dragon during Bonds Beyond Time and during his first duel with Jack Yuma faced Utopia when he dueled against Astral Yuya faced odd-eyes when he was dueling a member of sector security Yusaku/playmaker faced Firewall dragon when he did his first master duel against revolver Yuga faced sevens road magician during his final duel with Otes
Personally, I always liked that Yuma used Utopia all the time to win his major duels. I know people complain about Yuma using Utopia all the time, but that is what an "ace monster" is, a monster you use all the time in a duel, even if it's not the best one. My personal favorite moment is in Yuma and Asteral duel against 96 when Asteral choses Utopia over the other two numbers in his graveyard, as I love Yuma explaining that maybe Utopia wasn't the best choice, but it was still the right one as Utopia is their companion and has always protected and helped them in dire situation, and would like to use him even in these situations. To me, that is one of my favorite moment in all of Yugioh, a protagonist explaining why he would always choose his ace monster in his duels.
A lot of it is probably because Numbers Hunting and some of the intent of early Onomatopoeia cards (like Gagaga Magician being able to modulate his level from 1 to 8) gave an impression that Yuma was going to have a huge toolbox but it didn't really get utilized unless he was forced to. In context it does make sense why he used Utopia so much but it does make sense that it starts to feel repetitive.
It’s supposed to symbolize Hope, like the one that remained from Pandora’s box. That’s why he brought hope to everyone he fought, and why Utopia’s name in JP is Hope
I figured it would be Utopia since in order to get to the variants, Yuma had to Rank Up the original Utopia which would’ve boosted its number (pun intended) of appearances. 🤔
And plus to be honest. I could be wrong but I think utopia of all the ace monsters has the most "variants" of the ace monsters. I don't know for sure, correct me if I'm wrong but from every type of Deck i played it just seems like utopia has the most. Either him or Neos
@Servbot 40 To be fair, a lot of the numbers were situational, and by the time Zexal II came around, the power level of his opponents could only be matched by Barian and Astral World's powers, which meant Chaos Numbers and Beyond the Hope were the only way to beat his opponents, on top of the fact that the power of ZeXaL literally only makes Utopia support for some reason.
I would have added junk warrior to the list too. Dude did absolutely the most work of any early pre main monster and kept going even to the end where he finished the series not stardust. Can't say the same for the others yusei is just built different.
He’s also one of the only monsters to attack another monster so hard they are shown injured in their next card art. Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend from ARC-V has his right arm and horn in a cast because that’s where the finishing Scrap Fist hit RDA in the final duel of 5Ds.
I always love seeing Zexal gets super interesting stats and rankings in these vids, it's my favorite of the yugioh series and a good part of that was how willing the writers were to go wild with the show. Main character loses a lot, monsters with attack over 1 0 0 , 0 0 0, and now Ace summons. It's awesome to see.
Firewall and Decode being dead last actually fits with Yusaku's pragmatic style of duelling. He has no personal attachment to either monster unlike the other protagonists so he wouldn't go out of his way to summon them every chance he got when he could summon another monster that was more suited to the task, especially with how Link Monsters worked.
While I agree he sure as hell had no attachment to any of them, I think if VRAINS was longer (like it shouldve been damn it! We needed more explanation of Link Sense and if it was just Yusaku who had it or if Flame coming back was because Takeru/Soulburner had it!!!), just before Ai died, if he explained that he made the Code Talkers and put then into the Data Storm, then he would have some attachment to Decode. Also, if he had Heatsoul and Extended, with him already using extended, he wouldve developed some type of attachment to Decode.
I agree about Yusaku not having an attachment to Firewall and Decode Yugi/Atem calls Dark Magician his ever faithful companion, Jaden calls Flame Wingman his favorite hero and said that Neos is the reason he believes in his cards, Stardust Dragon effect mirrors Yusei's selflessness and willingness to themselves in harm's way to protect others. Yuma has stated 39 is his lucky number, Odd-Eyes represents Yuya's courage and entertaining spirt and Sevens Road inspired Yuga to start Rush duels
If we took a shot every time Yuma summoned Utopia , we’d all be dead from liver failure lol 😂😂😂 It was always a nice treat when he summoned different Numbers and it was quite impressive how he beat Astral without his usual Utopia 😃😃
@@guillermosierracuellar9812 I find it funny how people hate on yuma for spamming one boss monster, but know a days that's what people do in tournaments
I'm surprised Jaden's Neos didn't make the first spot (even if he appeared so late in the show) not only because Jaden had so many duels, but mainly because he was required to create all those fusions so even if he wasn't the main monster of the duel, he still had to be summoned.
This has been something i've been wondering for a long while. I knew Yusaku's aces would be at the bottom since he has some of the most extra deck variety among the protagonist and doesn't really stick to one gameplay strategy , and I knew Dark Magician would be on the lower end as well. But it's really freaky that Neos and Flame Wingman are tied, was not expecting that at all. Guess that solidifies that Neos is Jaden's main deck ace and Flame Wingman his fusion ace.
I think Junk Warrior is in a similar boat to Flare Wingman. Yusei didn't have Stardust Dragon at the beginning of the series, so Junk Warrior was really his only ace until Jack gave Stardust back to him.
For me Firewall will always be the main ace monster for Yusaku despite the banlist affecting his appearance in the anime. Even Konami originally intended for Firewall to be the ace before they had no choice but to limit and later ban it and write it out of the show, and now that it's unbanned it looks like they're slowly starting to confirm that Firewall is his ace or at least one of his ace monsters, like in Cross Duels for example.
I don't think that there's a legitimate argument that Firewall Dragon was ever the main ace outside of the argument of trying to say "but it has 2500 ATK". Like he wasn't even using it that much even before it was banned which was about halfway into season 2's airing. Decode Talker was also the one used in more of the promo material, including the very first announcement image and the 20th Anniversary Box that included alt artworks of all the main aces used Decode Talker. In the end of season 1 he even deliberately uses Firewall for nothing more than its arrows completing the O link and then immediately uses it as a Link Material to make Decode Talker.
7. I'm not surprised VRAINS is low on the list, that's why I hate when YuGiOh seasons make almost all their duels two partners. Poor Firewall. Wish we got a fusion/combo of Decode and Firewall. 6. Dark Magician doesn't surprise me, DM's duels were LOOONNGGGG 5. Sevens Road Magician being this low doesn't surprise me because say what you want about SEVENS, they balanced out the cast so Yuga wasn't stealing everyone's spotlight. If Sevens had the traditional length of a normal YuGiOh anime around 144-148 episodes, I could see it being second place. 4. Stardust Dragon had to be used later given the whole Five/Sixth Dragons, so yeah, no surprise. Out of curiosity, how often was Junk Warrior used? 3: Flame Wingman and Neos are tied?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA oh that's hilarious and wild. And it fits so well. I wish they got a fusion together. 2: Odd Eyes makes sense, Yuya's aces were either that or variants. 1: No surprise there. I agree that Utopia was a bit overused but to be fair, Yuma always made those duels fun. Thanks to Utopia and Double or Nothing, we've had some of the craziest high attack point levels and upgrades. 300400 atk points anyone. If he used more Numbers in tandem with Utopia, which he did at times, people wouldn't be too mad. It doesn't upset me, UTOPIA'S AWESOME. It's a mech gundam-dual sword wielding knight that represents hope and the power that ties Yuma and Astral's potential for greatness.
For number 3 you're really gonna like the cover card of the swiftly upcoming core set Power of The Elements, all I need to say is it's called Shining Neos Wingman.
I honestly think that this should have included percentages, since as you said some characters have MUCH higher duel counts than others, throwing off the balance by just sheer volume
I usually agree with the sentiment that the duels get stale when a protagonist summons their ace monster all the time, but I think the big exceptions ( at least for me personally) were Jaden and Yuma. This is because whenever they summoned their ace monsters, primarily later on in the show. I was always interested because of the shear variety of what they could summon. Yuma could go into almost any utopia from just one spell, let alone bust out a new one from nowhere, and if Jaden summoned neos and 2+ neo spacians, it makes me wonder what he's going to use to get out of a situation, since so many contact fusions work in various scenarios
This is one of those lists like when people compile Ash’s Pokemon’s batte records that when quantified always feel lower than you think, but then you start to account for the screen time for other iconic characters and then it starts to make sense. Still surprised Dark Magician was so low but there were a lot of exceptions in the original Yugioh series so that makes sense.
Yeah, Yugi's deck was one big mess. At any one point, dude was practically walking around with four different Boss Monsters and their respective archetypes in his deck. How that dude didn't brick - even with Protagonist Power - will always and forever be beyond me.
I still like how Joey is the only character to have ever bricked in the DM anime(That I can think of), even tho a lot of other decks have similar or even higher chances of bricking realistically. I guess at least Bonds Beyond Time made up for it by having Yami just...completely brick with his opening hand. Yusei was the only one to draw a workable start and Jaden at least could have protected himself for a turn, but the dude with the title of king would have been a sitting duck if it wasn't a co-op duel, lmao.
Hey Dylan,if you had to pick a secondary (or tertiary) ace for all main Protags (and villains/rivals (if you get stuck)) who would it be and why? My picks are: **Protag** Yugi - Buster Blader (That guy can kick butt and take names and still barely lift his sword) Jaden - Winged Kuriboh (That thing helped more times than it should have) Yusei - Junk Archer (seemed like Dimension shoot, his effect, would come in handy way more) Yuma - the Djinn Xyz (probably Temtempo specifically, seemed like he could do some fun tricks with the Gagagas to bring them out) Yuya - Dark Rebellion/Silver Claw (Dark Rebelllion being the second dimension dragon he got, and with the amount of level 4s he had, he could so bring it out 99 percent of the time. Silver claw because that good boi was used in Yuyas first Summon of 3 of his extra deck monsters: Beast-Eyes, Enlightenment, and Dark rebellion) Yusaku: Cyberse Wizard (has as many retains/evolved versions as Backup Secretary, also it's the closest he uses to a Spellcaster) Yuga: Sevens Road Witch (She seems like she could be a fun ace for him to use) **Villains** Dartz- Oricalchos Shunoros (can do stuff with the Seal) Nightshroud - Card Guard (could protect other things) Z-ONE: Michion (that thing burns to hell and back) Don Thousand: Number 104: Masquerade (I feel like hed do this just to spite vector) Z-ARC: Supreme king Dragon Odd-Eyes (come on, hes Yuya,and its Odd-Eyes.) Ai: Light Dragon @Ignister. (Ai wanted to keep the Ignis and Cyberse World safe, and Light dragon's first effect does just that)
You should make a list of how many times Yugi had Gazelle and Berfomet, Jayden had Avian and Burstinatrix, Yusei had speed warrior in their starting hand. They were the definition of overused in my opinion.
For Jaden, it was sorta the point, it's like saying XYZ in Zexal was overused. However, I sorta agree with Chimera. Like, that dumb thing ain't even that good, why does he even have fusion in his deck?
Even before the ranking started, I knew that Firewall was going to be at the bottom, due to it being broken right out of the gate and not given an errata until the show was over. Not surprised with Utopia being at No. 1 as he was needed for a lot of 'Upgraded' Utopias. Was surprised with how low Dark Magician was.
Playmaker never used his effect more than once per duel. The 2nd effect which is the broken effect was used only once in the entire show, and by once I literally mean one instant, so the errata would not make any difference
@@hieutrang3635 mm, firewall never actually meshed well with Playmakers deck or dueling, so many of his monsters recycled out of the grave & he dumped his whole hand into plays, & he played aggressive battle oriented duels not resource/control or ftk
Why do I feel its really Yuma as a automatic winner, his car is legit named hope and is the symbol of his dealing style, which is he always in a hopeless situation but than he summons number 39 Hope/Utopia. (most if not almost all his duals were done in this fashion that I can remember.
this was an interesting video, i'm wondering about these same stats on the rival characters. i know kaiba summoned blue eyes in almost every duel he was in
Just something for utopia, an extra deck monster who require 2 level 4 is one if not the easiest thing to pull off except normal summon. And at the beginning of zexal, he had no extra deck monster, next Utopia, a rang 3 and a rang 1... he take a long time before having a lot of options. And having a Yuma anime accurate deck, he can swam XYZ.
Something I would personally find interesting is how many times the separate parts of characters’ decks appeared. For example, how many times did the Magnet Warriors appear compared to Dark Magician, Gaia the Fierce Knight, and the Poker Knights? How many times did XYZ Dragon Cannon appear compared to Blue-Eyes, etc. The character pool is limited, mainly to Yugi, Kaiba, and Chazz but I would find it interesting
@@adaurysantos you mean all of them? lol. DM was the only series to go beyond 4 episodes a duel. Thank goodness they changed that, cause what hell that was waiting 2 months per duel to find out how it ends. DM was in the early internet era so finding out spoilers was not really a thing yet, making it much worse of a wait.
Awesome list and amazing work. I'm actually blown away and never would thought the result for a couple like Dark Magician and Stardust Dragon. Now we need another list with the Rivals and Antagonists
Junk Warrior would had probably scored low, but if Decode Talker and Flare Wingman are there, it should be too. It is the simbol of Tattered Glory that permiates Yusei's character. Anyway, the video is still really cool, and i appreciate the effort put in the research. 💪
Yeah this list makes sense, Utopia was clearly marketed as a card that you bring out for your first play with its effect and all the upgrades. Yusaku also makes sense because I think it’s even mention in Vrains by Aoi that many duelist had the Sun Tzu-like mentality of saving your strongest play for the end
People who say that Yuma summoned utopia a lot Are the same people who end on halq+dagada into scythe lock every single duel this format Or on set 5 pass into eldlich the golden lord Or mirror jade plus masquerade Who would have guessed that the same deck will end on a similar boss monster most of the time ? Edit: Yuma did use variety Yes used a bunch of rank 4s and rank 3s alongside utopia with each one having a unique use for its effect and sice utopia had a good battle protection effect it seemed logical to end on it in order to survive till next turn
to be honest Yusaku had a different ace in most duels like he had decode, excode, transcode, powercode, firewall dragon, cyberse quantam dragon, exceed dragon, decode talked extended, accescode talker and I probably missed some
I'm surprised Dark Magician wasn't dead last! I feel Yugi when it came to protagonists had a lot of miss mashed monsters in his deck. Several different archetypes where born from monsters in Yugi's deck alone. As for Utopia... I had a feeling it would be number 1, I mean there was even an episode where Yuma was challenged to duel without Utopia... and he summoned Utopia anyway because he felt like had nothing to prove... which made the entire point they where dueling pointless, but still gave Utopia another appearance.
When u think about about, it makes sense yuya would have the biggest ace summon since the plot in zexal was that a number monster had to defeat another number monster
How about comparing each appearance of Yusaku's aces? The 6 Code Talkers and aces from each summoning method (also Extended, Accesscode, and Darkfluid)
Utopia does make sense to be summoned the most. He's a Rank 4 Xyz Monster needing only two Level 4 Monsters, probably the easiest of the aces to get on the field, especially with Yuma's Level 4 -heavy deck. Might be lazy writing, but it's also just that Yuma had more opportunities to summon his guy than the others did. Odd-Eyes would be comparable, but Yuya would need both Odd-Eyes and monsters with a Pendulum Scale covering seven in his hand, a bit more specific than Utopia.
Some data for other iconic monsters from the protagonists Kuiboh was summoned in 15 duels Junk Warrior was summoned in 19-21 duels (two were in flashbacks and not shown in full) Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon was summoned in 13 duels
If your looking for ideas, I’d love a list of the most summoned monsters, either like a top ten for each protagonist or top 25 total across all the series
"Rush duels take much quicker to complete then your typical master duel" is the funniest line in history (obviously in the anime its different but irl oh boy)
For Dark Magician I was shocked that he wasn’t used more then like people said Yugi had way more options with DMG the god cards, Summon Skull Buster Blader and Valkryion so that’s expected Firewall probably would have been used more but it got banned and Decode Talker wasn’t use much because of the other code talkers and cyberse dragons. Yuga: That’s due to him not being in the spotlight as much due to sevens having great characters and the duels were short. Judai: Shocked that Wingman and Neos got equal screen time because Neos was used a lot after season 2 for the contact fusions.but it also shows how much Wing Man was used for most of season one. Yusei: Not shock with Stardust being in the middle he didn’t have it or used it much until his duel with Aki and he started to use it more in the dark signers arc and for the rest of 5ds. Yuma: Not shocking I didn’t finish Zexal but I remember him summoning Utopia a lot compared to the other numbers and I think I had a problem with it but then again Utopia was special to Yuma and he had to summon it to get into its upgraded forms so it make sense. Yuya: Not supursing since Odd Eyes can be easily be summoned with pendulums and he uses it to go to its upgraded forms.
I haven't watched Vrains yet so I couldn't have predicted either of Yusaku's ending at the bottom, but I'm not surprised Yugi was right next up. He was before the ace became basically the centerpiece of the protagonist's deck.
My tip before the results: It was Yusei's Stardust Dragon. Edit: I was so wrong, I forgot in the story of 5D's Yusei tries the first arc getting back the card. And then uses it like a card he doesn't bring out, at least until after the Dark Signers, unless he feels like he really needs it. He spends the whole Fortune Cup, before changing his mind when seeing Aki dueling, not bringing it out, because he wants to save until he goes up against Jack. After the Dark Signers arc his Deck becomes way more of a true Stardust-Synchron Deck.
I guess it's only matter of time for making a video about how many times a Kuriboh was used in a duelo either summoned or discarded via his own effect of the effect of another card (Super Polymerization in GX).
The real question is: how many duels did Yuya go without summoning Odd Eyes? Like seriously, he pulls it out like every single duel like it’s his life support or something.
I really love it when you do videos like this :3 might I suggest which protagonist dueled their rivals the most or which rival had the most wins in the series
I was gonna bring up the issue of Jaden using flame wingman then neos, but i'm glad to see you accounted for that fundamental shift in his deck. as a deck to play, Elemental Heroes have a soft spot for me since that's the deck i played in the lunch room in high school. but trying to weave the neospacians and the other E-Heroes wasn't very functional in my experience. As compared to just adding Stardust Dragon to Yusei's extra deck. plus, he got that card pretty quickly, i wanna say it was around episode 18 he got it back? less than halfway through season one, as opposed to halfway through season 2. arguably my favorite card to this day is still Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman. the Yubel trio is fairly high up there since i just like how the cards handle
Interestingly, since Yuga has been Go Rush, he has used Sevens Road Magician twice to date, tying him up with Yusei’s Stardust. However, Sevens Road was also used by Yuna Goha in her debut duel against Yudias, meaning Go Rush has upped Seven’s Road appearences to 28. Finally Yuga used Sevens Road in a mostly offscreen duel at the end of Go Rush S1, which if that counts, increasing to 29.
Dark Magician probably would’ve had a higher number if he had been used more in Battle City arc because it was only used once against Arkana and sat in the deck with the rest of the Rare Hunters, Joey, and Bakura. Then again Yugi’s deck was a situational strategy deck for his entire series and didn’t focus heavily on DM support and more as an anti-Blue Eyes/Beatdown Deck.
I expected Utopia to be the most consistent protagonist ace, when I watched the show when I was younger I used to always get annoyed when kept Yuma summoning Utopia because he collected so many number cards but never used any of them
Now I want to see a video where you analysis throughout the decades, which main ace monster got the most support from Konami. Along with a tier list of where you would rank modern day, full powered ace monster decks compared to the current format.
Naw this isn't pointless. I've actually had this thought myself and I'm sure others have as well! Definitely both this video and the other video you made that you mentioned are some very good video series/themes!
Idea for another video is I would be interested to see if the MCs ace monsters truly were their aces. Were their any other monsters they summoned more often than their aces and were there any monsters who got the killing blow more often than their aces.
Next video should be: which protagonist used the most variety of spells / trap cards in their respective decks / duels (it can be done two different videos one for spells and another for traps).
Yuma's over reliance on Utopia was a plot point in the anime where they basically said that Yuma can't win a duel without Utopia and they were proven right in the very next duel (I think it was with Shark) Yuma didn't use Utopia and he lost. Also out of all the ace monster from all the protagonists Utopia probably had the most upgrades with Neos in close second so it makes sense that Yuma would summon Utopia a lot.
I figured it would be either odd eyes or utopia Although I'm not 100% certain if you counted multiple summons I'm pretty sure odd-eyes would blow the rest out of the water because of the nature of the pendulum summon
If multiple summons counted, I would imagine stardust would be up there, since it technically gets summoned several times per duel, thanks to its ability.
@@kaiprice4991 It'd probably go Odd-Eyes, Utopia (who gets brought back and forth from the grave a lot despite the lack of an ability), then Stardust, yeah
I always saw Gagaga Magician as Yuma’s secondary ace like Junk Warrior before obtaining Utopia, don’t think he had any Xzys at the time. For Yuya, I see Dark Rebellion in that role for. For Yugi, it would be Dark Magician Girl.
When he said Odd-eyes was in second with 38 summons, I started freaking out. Imagine Number 39 - Utopia qas summoned exactly 39 times. That would've been crazier than both of Judai's aces having the same amount of summons.
I mean I know we don't count variations But since you can only get to utopia's variations by summoning utopia it had to be number 1 and it's a rank 4 xyz monster the easiest kind of monsters of the caliber of an ace that you could summon
When watching the show I felt Playmaker had the most protagonist syndrome. Dude toss out a link monster and said it did something and I was constantly wondering where it came from.
an interesting video idea might be which rival fought the main caracther the most times chazz will obviusly be no 1 but i think it would still be interesting
Fun fact Neos is the only ace monster that was never used against its owner
When was Flamewingman, Decode Talker and Firewall Dragon used against its owner?
Flame wingman stops being his ace and firewall was summoned to Revolver's field in it's debut
@Rypio_39 chazz used flame wingman against jaden episode 2 but if you want to be technical im referring to the the main 2500 atk ace monsters or in Yugas case 2100
Yugi faced dark magician in the ceremony duel (Atem faced in against Arkana)
Yusei faced Stardust Dragon during Bonds Beyond Time and during his first duel with Jack
Yuma faced Utopia when he dueled against Astral
Yuya faced odd-eyes when he was dueling a member of sector security
Yusaku/playmaker faced Firewall dragon when he did his first master duel against revolver
Yuga faced sevens road magician during his final duel with Otes
@@WINX2221also Yuma’s utopia got mind controlled by number 11 big eye, and from flip through some trap card early on in the show.
Hey now, that's not fair, Yuya clearly used his true ace: "Action Magic: Evasion" the most of any protagonist.
Let's also not forget his second ace as well: "Action Magic: Miracle"
But everyone else used it too.
The ace of everyone dueling him is Action Spell: Yeet
LOL Got me
😂

Strangely, a similar concept is actually applied to DMG instead of DM for second series.
A lot of it is probably because Numbers Hunting and some of the intent of early Onomatopoeia cards (like Gagaga Magician being able to modulate his level from 1 to 8) gave an impression that Yuma was going to have a huge toolbox but it didn't really get utilized unless he was forced to.
In context it does make sense why he used Utopia so much but it does make sense that it starts to feel repetitive.
It’s supposed to symbolize Hope, like the one that remained from Pandora’s box. That’s why he brought hope to everyone he fought, and why Utopia’s name in JP is Hope
It because it ALL he uses. 95% of his duels were summon it first turn and then the rest of his deck was spells/traps for it.
@@lightdragoon88 I mean that's just the style of Zexal's duel choreography for the most part.

Very informative! I never knew Flame Wingman and Neos had been used the same amount of time. I like Utopia so it never bothered me as much.
Would love to see this with the Rivals and the Secondary characters.
Ojama Yellow!
Blue Eyes White Dragon would take number one easily; Kaiba's entire deck and strategy was built primarily around it
@@matthewkuscienko4616 idk bro jack summoned archfiend all the time and omg the amount of times I heard galaxy eyes summoned
I'm surprised Jaden's Neos didn't make the first spot (even if he appeared so late in the show) not only because Jaden had so many duels, but mainly because he was required to create all those fusions so even if he wasn't the main monster of the duel, he still had to be summoned.
This has been something i've been wondering for a long while. I knew Yusaku's aces would be at the bottom since he has some of the most extra deck variety among the protagonist and doesn't really stick to one gameplay strategy , and I knew Dark Magician would be on the lower end as well. But it's really freaky that Neos and Flame Wingman are tied, was not expecting that at all. Guess that solidifies that Neos is Jaden's main deck ace and Flame Wingman his fusion ace.
One of the Main reasons Odd-Eyes showed up so much is because of his reliance on his pendulum power. He didn't Tribute summon much
I think Junk Warrior is in a similar boat to Flare Wingman. Yusei didn't have Stardust Dragon at the beginning of the series, so Junk Warrior was really his only ace until Jack gave Stardust back to him.
For me Firewall will always be the main ace monster for Yusaku despite the banlist affecting his appearance in the anime. Even Konami originally intended for Firewall to be the ace before they had no choice but to limit and later ban it and write it out of the show, and now that it's unbanned it looks like they're slowly starting to confirm that Firewall is his ace or at least one of his ace monsters, like in Cross Duels for example.
I don't think that there's a legitimate argument that Firewall Dragon was ever the main ace outside of the argument of trying to say "but it has 2500 ATK". Like he wasn't even using it that much even before it was banned which was about halfway into season 2's airing. Decode Talker was also the one used in more of the promo material, including the very first announcement image and the 20th Anniversary Box that included alt artworks of all the main aces used Decode Talker.
In the end of season 1 he even deliberately uses Firewall for nothing more than its arrows completing the O link and then immediately uses it as a Link Material to make Decode Talker.
7. I'm not surprised VRAINS is low on the list, that's why I hate when YuGiOh seasons make almost all their duels two partners. Poor Firewall. Wish we got a fusion/combo of Decode and Firewall.
6. Dark Magician doesn't surprise me, DM's duels were LOOONNGGGG
5. Sevens Road Magician being this low doesn't surprise me because say what you want about SEVENS, they balanced out the cast so Yuga wasn't stealing everyone's spotlight. If Sevens had the traditional length of a normal YuGiOh anime around 144-148 episodes, I could see it being second place.
4. Stardust Dragon had to be used later given the whole Five/Sixth Dragons, so yeah, no surprise. Out of curiosity, how often was Junk Warrior used?
3: Flame Wingman and Neos are tied?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA oh that's hilarious and wild. And it fits so well. I wish they got a fusion together.
2: Odd Eyes makes sense, Yuya's aces were either that or variants.
1: No surprise there. I agree that Utopia was a bit overused but to be fair, Yuma always made those duels fun. Thanks to Utopia and Double or Nothing, we've had some of the craziest high attack point levels and upgrades. 300400 atk points anyone. If he used more Numbers in tandem with Utopia, which he did at times, people wouldn't be too mad. It doesn't upset me, UTOPIA'S AWESOME. It's a mech gundam-dual sword wielding knight that represents hope and the power that ties Yuma and Astral's potential for greatness.
At least Neos and Flame Wingman just got a fusion in the TCG/OCG in the form of Elemental HERO Shining Neos Wingman
@@PyroBlitz. But no Evil HERO Neos, yet.
Neos and Flame Wingman do have a fusion now ! Well, it's Neos + any Wingman monster so I guess you could make him with Wild Wingman too lol
For number 3 you're really gonna like the cover card of the swiftly upcoming core set Power of The Elements, all I need to say is it's called Shining Neos Wingman.
So with Stardust, yusai did have him until after he me Leo and Luna.Jack had him up until then.
I honestly think that this should have included percentages, since as you said some characters have MUCH higher duel counts than others, throwing off the balance by just sheer volume
I usually agree with the sentiment that the duels get stale when a protagonist summons their ace monster all the time, but I think the big exceptions ( at least for me personally) were Jaden and Yuma. This is because whenever they summoned their ace monsters, primarily later on in the show. I was always interested because of the shear variety of what they could summon. Yuma could go into almost any utopia from just one spell, let alone bust out a new one from nowhere, and if Jaden summoned neos and 2+ neo spacians, it makes me wonder what he's going to use to get out of a situation, since so many contact fusions work in various scenarios
This is one of those lists like when people compile Ash’s Pokemon’s batte records that when quantified always feel lower than you think, but then you start to account for the screen time for other iconic characters and then it starts to make sense. Still surprised Dark Magician was so low but there were a lot of exceptions in the original Yugioh series so that makes sense.
Yeah, Yugi's deck was one big mess. At any one point, dude was practically walking around with four different Boss Monsters and their respective archetypes in his deck. How that dude didn't brick - even with Protagonist Power - will always and forever be beyond me.
I still like how Joey is the only character to have ever bricked in the DM anime(That I can think of), even tho a lot of other decks have similar or even higher chances of bricking realistically. I guess at least Bonds Beyond Time made up for it by having Yami just...completely brick with his opening hand. Yusei was the only one to draw a workable start and Jaden at least could have protected himself for a turn, but the dude with the title of king would have been a sitting duck if it wasn't a co-op duel, lmao.
@@lpfan4491 There was the duel in VRAINS where both of them bricked
@@rueblie2627 There was also one time Yuya bricked, iirc.
@AsinfulParadox later on the animanga it's choosing, before atem remembers it's just giving luck
Hey Dylan,if you had to pick a secondary (or tertiary) ace for all main Protags (and villains/rivals (if you get stuck)) who would it be and why? My picks are:
**Protag**
Yugi - Buster Blader (That guy can kick butt and take names and still barely lift his sword)
Jaden - Winged Kuriboh (That thing helped more times than it should have)
Yusei - Junk Archer (seemed like Dimension shoot, his effect, would come in handy way more)
Yuma - the Djinn Xyz (probably Temtempo specifically, seemed like he could do some fun tricks with the Gagagas to bring them out)
Yuya - Dark Rebellion/Silver Claw (Dark Rebelllion being the second dimension dragon he got, and with the amount of level 4s he had, he could so bring it out 99 percent of the time. Silver claw because that good boi was used in Yuyas first Summon of 3 of his extra deck monsters: Beast-Eyes, Enlightenment, and Dark rebellion)
Yusaku: Cyberse Wizard (has as many retains/evolved versions as Backup Secretary, also it's the closest he uses to a Spellcaster)
Yuga: Sevens Road Witch (She seems like she could be a fun ace for him to use)
**Villains**
Dartz- Oricalchos Shunoros (can do stuff with the Seal)
Nightshroud - Card Guard (could protect other things)
Z-ONE: Michion (that thing burns to hell and back)
Don Thousand: Number 104: Masquerade (I feel like hed do this just to spite vector)
Z-ARC: Supreme king Dragon Odd-Eyes (come on, hes Yuya,and its Odd-Eyes.)
Ai: Light Dragon @Ignister. (Ai wanted to keep the Ignis and Cyberse World safe, and Light dragon's first effect does just that)
You should make a list of how many times Yugi had Gazelle and Berfomet, Jayden had Avian and Burstinatrix, Yusei had speed warrior in their starting hand. They were the definition of overused in my opinion.
For Jaden, it was sorta the point, it's like saying XYZ in Zexal was overused. However, I sorta agree with Chimera. Like, that dumb thing ain't even that good, why does he even have fusion in his deck?
@@lpfan4491 I still felt that jaden having not only poly but also avian and burstinatrix in his starting hand happened way too often.
How many times did Yuya have Odd-Eyes in his starting hand? I feel like first move pendulum summoning Odd-Eyes happened SO often in Arc-V
If Kaiba was the protag, he’d be close to the top because he has summoned Blue Eyes in literally every single duel he’s been in
If kaiba has tuner for his blue eyes.
And dont forget his blue eyes ultimate dragon.
Synchro fusion..
Love the stats for Flame Wingman and Neos; it feels fitting
Even before the ranking started, I knew that Firewall was going to be at the bottom, due to it being broken right out of the gate and not given an errata until the show was over. Not surprised with Utopia being at No. 1 as he was needed for a lot of 'Upgraded' Utopias. Was surprised with how low Dark Magician was.
Playmaker never used his effect more than once per duel. The 2nd effect which is the broken effect was used only once in the entire show, and by once I literally mean one instant, so the errata would not make any difference
I think it's partiality matter of how often the other main characters dueled in DM, compared to Zexal devolving into the Yuma show almost immediately.
firewall was given an errata while the show was still running
@@hieutrang3635 mm, firewall never actually meshed well with Playmakers deck or dueling, so many of his monsters recycled out of the grave & he dumped his whole hand into plays, & he played aggressive battle oriented duels not resource/control or ftk
@@AxelWedstar411 I mean the guy was the main character and one of the biggest themes of the show was turning this garbage duelist into the best
Why do I feel its really Yuma as a automatic winner, his car is legit named hope and is the symbol of his dealing style, which is he always in a hopeless situation but than he summons number 39 Hope/Utopia. (most if not almost all his duals were done in this fashion that I can remember.
Dark Magician, dude was always putting in overtime hours.
it's one of the reasons i like playmaker, he didn't just rely on one ace he had several.
In the words of Jimbles in regards to Utopia:
"I remember that there's a loud little man in a yugioh show who talks about it all the time."
this was an interesting video, i'm wondering about these same stats on the rival characters. i know kaiba summoned blue eyes in almost every duel he was in
Just something for utopia, an extra deck monster who require 2 level 4 is one if not the easiest thing to pull off except normal summon.
And at the beginning of zexal, he had no extra deck monster, next Utopia, a rang 3 and a rang 1... he take a long time before having a lot of options.
And having a Yuma anime accurate deck, he can swam XYZ.
Something I would personally find interesting is how many times the separate parts of characters’ decks appeared. For example, how many times did the Magnet Warriors appear compared to Dark Magician, Gaia the Fierce Knight, and the Poker Knights? How many times did XYZ Dragon Cannon appear compared to Blue-Eyes, etc. The character pool is limited, mainly to Yugi, Kaiba, and Chazz but I would find it interesting
Ayyyeee Flame Wingman & Neos being used the exact same number of times is pretty crazy!
Xyz Summoning is my favorite style, so I am glad Utopia was the most summoned Ace monster.
I think a top 5 or top 10 longest duels by turn count would be super interesting, sounds like something right up your alley.
Most of them would probably be from duel monsters
@@adaurysantos you mean all of them? lol. DM was the only series to go beyond 4 episodes a duel. Thank goodness they changed that, cause what hell that was waiting 2 months per duel to find out how it ends. DM was in the early internet era so finding out spoilers was not really a thing yet, making it much worse of a wait.
Awesome list and amazing work.
I'm actually blown away and never would thought the result for a couple like Dark Magician and Stardust Dragon.
Now we need another list with the Rivals and Antagonists
Junk Warrior would had probably scored low, but if Decode Talker and Flare Wingman are there, it should be too.
It is the simbol of Tattered Glory that permiates Yusei's character.
Anyway, the video is still really cool, and i appreciate the effort put in the research. 💪
Yeah this list makes sense, Utopia was clearly marketed as a card that you bring out for your first play with its effect and all the upgrades. Yusaku also makes sense because I think it’s even mention in Vrains by Aoi that many duelist had the Sun Tzu-like mentality of saving your strongest play for the end
Not only Utopia appears the most, he also had the highest attack values on various occasions.
People who say that Yuma summoned utopia a lot
Are the same people who end on halq+dagada into scythe lock every single duel this format
Or on set 5 pass into eldlich the golden lord
Or mirror jade plus masquerade
Who would have guessed that the same deck will end on a similar boss monster most of the time ?
Edit: Yuma did use variety
Yes used a bunch of rank 4s and rank 3s alongside utopia with each one having a unique use for its effect and sice utopia had a good battle protection effect it seemed logical to end on it in order to survive till next turn
Really digging the thumbnail art on this vid 💕
to be honest Yusaku had a different ace in most duels like he had decode, excode, transcode, powercode, firewall dragon, cyberse quantam dragon, exceed dragon, decode talked extended, accescode talker and I probably missed some
I'm surprised Dark Magician wasn't dead last! I feel Yugi when it came to protagonists had a lot of miss mashed monsters in his deck. Several different archetypes where born from monsters in Yugi's deck alone.
As for Utopia... I had a feeling it would be number 1, I mean there was even an episode where Yuma was challenged to duel without Utopia... and he summoned Utopia anyway because he felt like had nothing to prove... which made the entire point they where dueling pointless, but still gave Utopia another appearance.
When u think about about, it makes sense yuya would have the biggest ace summon since the plot in zexal was that a number monster had to defeat another number monster
How about comparing each appearance of Yusaku's aces? The 6 Code Talkers and aces from each summoning method (also Extended, Accesscode, and Darkfluid)
Nah bro I love these funny statistic videos. Such a vibe
Most times a summoning method used through the series?
(Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, Pendulum, Link?)
Awesome vid
This genuinely interesting. My guess is xyz, link or maybe even fusion
If I recall Flip didn't summon Utopia, Yuma did and flip just stole it with a card effect in conjunction with Baby Tiragon if I recall
I actually enjoy this kind of video a lot. Would love to see more.
Utopia does make sense to be summoned the most. He's a Rank 4 Xyz Monster needing only two Level 4 Monsters, probably the easiest of the aces to get on the field, especially with Yuma's Level 4 -heavy deck. Might be lazy writing, but it's also just that Yuma had more opportunities to summon his guy than the others did. Odd-Eyes would be comparable, but Yuya would need both Odd-Eyes and monsters with a Pendulum Scale covering seven in his hand, a bit more specific than Utopia.
God damn right it's Utopia/Hope. Literally my favorite Ace monster and 2nd favorite card in general. I thought it was Neos at first
Amazing video and I enjoyed
Some data for other iconic monsters from the protagonists
Kuiboh was summoned in 15 duels
Junk Warrior was summoned in 19-21 duels (two were in flashbacks and not shown in full)
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon was summoned in 13 duels
If your looking for ideas, I’d love a list of the most summoned monsters, either like a top ten for each protagonist or top 25 total across all the series
*Firewall dragon cries in the corner*
My first thought when reading the video's title for the first time was: "The answer is going to be Yuma's Utopia."
"Rush duels take much quicker to complete then your typical master duel"
is the funniest line in history
(obviously in the anime its different but irl oh boy)
This is why I like playmaker, he doesn't focus on one monster all the time to get him out of trouble
Probably because majority of links focus on different attributes with link arrow based effects
For Dark Magician I was shocked that he wasn’t used more then like people said Yugi had way more options with DMG the god cards, Summon Skull Buster Blader and Valkryion so that’s expected
Firewall probably would have been used more but it got banned and Decode Talker wasn’t use much because of the other code talkers and cyberse dragons.
Yuga: That’s due to him not being in the spotlight as much due to sevens having great characters and the duels were short.
Judai: Shocked that Wingman and Neos got equal screen time because Neos was used a lot after season 2 for the contact fusions.but it also shows how much Wing Man was used for most of season one.
Yusei: Not shock with Stardust being in the middle he didn’t have it or used it much until his duel with Aki and he started to use it more in the dark signers arc and for the rest of 5ds.
Yuma: Not shocking I didn’t finish Zexal but I remember him summoning Utopia a lot compared to the other numbers and I think I had a problem with it but then again Utopia was special to Yuma and he had to summon it to get into its upgraded forms so it make sense.
Yuya: Not supursing since Odd Eyes can be easily be summoned with pendulums and he uses it to go to its upgraded forms.
Firewall wouldn't have been used more, it didn't fit Yusaku's narative or dueling style or deck
I need one of these for the antagonists :0
Greta video btw as always!
Zexal missed making Utopia spawn in 39 duels.
The only real gap for odd eyes pendulum was during the synchro dimension tournament. Even the duel where he used yuto's deck had odd eyes in it.
I haven't watched Vrains yet so I couldn't have predicted either of Yusaku's ending at the bottom, but I'm not surprised Yugi was right next up. He was before the ace became basically the centerpiece of the protagonist's deck.
Actually utopia was basically a base for any other utopia monsters so it makes sense
I love yugioh statistics and rankings too, especially if they compare all the shows! Please also do the statistics for all the rival's ace monsters!
Dark Magician being second to last is not surprising to me. Yugi has used a lot!! Of different monsters to win duels.
I think the only times utopia wasn't summoned by Yuma was when he fought Someone Who didn't have Number Monsters except for shark
My tip before the results: It was Yusei's Stardust Dragon.
Edit: I was so wrong, I forgot in the story of 5D's Yusei tries the first arc getting back the card. And then uses it like a card he doesn't bring out, at least until after the Dark Signers, unless he feels like he really needs it. He spends the whole Fortune Cup, before changing his mind when seeing Aki dueling, not bringing it out, because he wants to save until he goes up against Jack.
After the Dark Signers arc his Deck becomes way more of a true Stardust-Synchron Deck.
If Konami made a new fusion monster combining E.hero Neos and flame wingman the monster gonna be sick🔥
I guess it's only matter of time for making a video about how many times a Kuriboh was used in a duelo either summoned or discarded via his own effect of the effect of another card (Super Polymerization in GX).
The real question is: how many duels did Yuya go without summoning Odd Eyes?
Like seriously, he pulls it out like every single duel like it’s his life support or something.
I really love it when you do videos like this :3 might I suggest which protagonist dueled their rivals the most or which rival had the most wins in the series
I am curious how many appearances you cut from Dark Magician now, as it could have moved it up the list a bit.
Opponent: Summons a monster that automatically wins the duel if Yuma summons Utopia
Yuma: Summons Utopia
I was gonna bring up the issue of Jaden using flame wingman then neos, but i'm glad to see you accounted for that fundamental shift in his deck. as a deck to play, Elemental Heroes have a soft spot for me since that's the deck i played in the lunch room in high school. but trying to weave the neospacians and the other E-Heroes wasn't very functional in my experience. As compared to just adding Stardust Dragon to Yusei's extra deck. plus, he got that card pretty quickly, i wanna say it was around episode 18 he got it back? less than halfway through season one, as opposed to halfway through season 2.
arguably my favorite card to this day is still Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman. the Yubel trio is fairly high up there since i just like how the cards handle
Tbf Utopia’s variants are usually summoned using OG Utopia as a base so it kinda needed to come out so it can be Ranked-Up
Interestingly, since Yuga has been Go Rush, he has used Sevens Road Magician twice to date, tying him up with Yusei’s Stardust. However, Sevens Road was also used by Yuna Goha in her debut duel against Yudias, meaning Go Rush has upped Seven’s Road appearences to 28. Finally Yuga used Sevens Road in a mostly offscreen duel at the end of Go Rush S1, which if that counts, increasing to 29.
The fact that Yuma's Duel felt repetitive still make a special place in my heart since I like Utopia as well as their upgraded forms
Dark Magician probably would’ve had a higher number if he had been used more in Battle City arc because it was only used once against Arkana and sat in the deck with the rest of the Rare Hunters, Joey, and Bakura.
Then again Yugi’s deck was a situational strategy deck for his entire series and didn’t focus heavily on DM support and more as an anti-Blue Eyes/Beatdown Deck.
I expected Utopia to be the most consistent protagonist ace, when I watched the show when I was younger I used to always get annoyed when kept Yuma summoning Utopia because he collected so many number cards but never used any of them
Alternative way to put this list; how many times the protagonist used their main ace
Now I want to see a video where you analysis throughout the decades, which main ace monster got the most support from Konami. Along with a tier list of where you would rank modern day, full powered ace monster decks compared to the current format.
Never watched Zexal, but just seeing how many different Utopia cards there are made me pretty sure it was going to be on top.
Okay but have you heard of Number 39: Neo-Spacian Stardust Odd-Eyes Magician
Naw this isn't pointless. I've actually had this thought myself and I'm sure others have as well! Definitely both this video and the other video you made that you mentioned are some very good video series/themes!
Idea for another video is I would be interested to see if the MCs ace monsters truly were their aces. Were their any other monsters they summoned more often than their aces and were there any monsters who got the killing blow more often than their aces.
Next video should be: which protagonist used the most variety of spells / trap cards in their respective decks / duels (it can be done two different videos one for spells and another for traps).
Yuma's over reliance on Utopia was a plot point in the anime where they basically said that Yuma can't win a duel without Utopia and they were proven right in the very next duel (I think it was with Shark) Yuma didn't use Utopia and he lost. Also out of all the ace monster from all the protagonists Utopia probably had the most upgrades with Neos in close second so it makes sense that Yuma would summon Utopia a lot.
well he did learn to duel without him and even used the chad gauntlet launcher
I figured it would be either odd eyes or utopia
Although I'm not 100% certain if you counted multiple summons I'm pretty sure odd-eyes would blow the rest out of the water because of the nature of the pendulum summon
that's probably why they didn't count it as every time it was summoned
If multiple summons counted, I would imagine stardust would be up there, since it technically gets summoned several times per duel, thanks to its ability.
@@kaiprice4991 It'd probably go Odd-Eyes, Utopia (who gets brought back and forth from the grave a lot despite the lack of an ability), then Stardust, yeah
I always saw Gagaga Magician as Yuma’s secondary ace like Junk Warrior before obtaining Utopia, don’t think he had any Xzys at the time. For Yuya, I see Dark Rebellion in that role for. For Yugi, it would be Dark Magician Girl.
When he said Odd-eyes was in second with 38 summons, I started freaking out. Imagine Number 39 - Utopia qas summoned exactly 39 times. That would've been crazier than both of Judai's aces having the same amount of summons.
I mean I know we don't count variations
But since you can only get to utopia's variations by summoning utopia it had to be number 1 and it's a rank 4 xyz monster the easiest kind of monsters of the caliber of an ace that you could summon
When watching the show I felt Playmaker had the most protagonist syndrome. Dude toss out a link monster and said it did something and I was constantly wondering where it came from.
nambazu san jiu kyu: kibo'o hope
an interesting video idea might be which rival fought the main caracther the most times
chazz will obviusly be no 1 but i think it would still be interesting
I was thinking Utopia or Odd Eyes since I remember Yuma and Yuya loved spamming those cards in their duels
I actually think that Utopia is the truest definition af an ace.
Hi I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome
Pretty sure I saw dark magician more than my dad
I was thinking this same idea but I’d measure by how many turns the ace was on the field rather than how many times it was summoned
