7:32 ironically, Jaden's dueling style basically cemented modern Yu-Gi-Oh. He relied on lots of extra deck monsters by using main deck monsters as fodder, using lots of searching cards, special summoning more than normal summoning, and the use of needlessly convoluted gimmicks to add personality to the archetype Only thing he tried doing that never took off was having several spells and traps that worked specifically for one monster
GX's style I would call more of a prototype. The shift to Fusion was definitely a portent of what was to come, but extra deck mechanics never quite took off in that era because Fusion was still a remarkably cumbersome mechanic given the reliance on such specific cards to produce anything of value. The Synchro era I think was when extra deck dominance was cemented.

@@BrenoRanyere hell, the advent of contact fusing is the precursor to Synchro summoning and he, as well as Chazz and Kai through their alphabots, are the ones who really do it most
I love how convoluted the writing had to get so he could get neos out to contact fuse later on. My favorite being when he uses poly on 2 monsters in hand to then use defusion on the new monster to get the 2 fused monsters back just to sacrifice them for neos. His whole hand just for a 2500 vanilla cuz the deck revolved around it lmfao
After beating Abidos Jaden obtains the Shadow Charm Circlet, which when worn allows the wearer to return from the dead and assume physical form. This means that until someone takes it from him for the rest of time Jaden will run around telling people to get their game on.
I wish there was that cut 😂 Also, in the beginning episodes where Fonda Fountain is in, ye know the sports teacher, he could have inserted some sexual jokes. With that character, those stuff go really well
Oooh, I never noticed! But true, they tried so much. Well, one week with him I'm sure they give him back willingly. 😂 After he's eaten up everything that he can, of course.
@jackwitt7430 I mean Mokuba is a Kaiba, Seto is just... He's usually referred to by last name usually, Mokuba is (Relatively) much more approachable and doesn't outright demand as much respect to go by his last name
"Why isn't there a lo-fi version of the Yu-Gi-Oh soundtrack?" Someone did all the theme songs, plus a few of the original tracks on TH-cam - they're all top notch!
when LK says you got to keep your Gameboy plugged in the wall. I'm sure the pharaoh would have replied with "those can be plugged in now, no batteries?"
Why would he respond like that when it was always true? In fact, what you've said there was literally true of them, unlike, say, the Nintendo Switch. The Game Boy (and every Nintendo system up to and including the 3DS family) can be played with zero batteries anywhere near it off of an adapter. The Switch, however, has to have of a battery that can keep a certain amount of charge in it for it to work because it will not even turn on unless it has that amount of charge. We've gone technologically backwards in so many ways. Mostly thanks to the video game industry getting away with things no one should have been able to and making it seem "normal".
10:26: They're at least a semester into their special card-game-based curriculum, and none of them have learned about power creep? Those were meta-defining cards back in the day, Jaiden.
I think the implication of Abidos remembering the "gossiping" is that he *assumed* that they were annoyed cause they could never beat him, but were still forced to duel him. But now, after being handed his arse by Jaiden; who isn't even trying very hard, he understands that they all just LET him win.
Since your last video I got a kitten with similar markings to Pharaoh the cat. So now I guess what he’s thinking and imagine it in your Atem voice. It always ends with “Meow. I am a cat!”
@@auditect950 Atem had no children, and Seto inherited the title of Pharaoh after he sacrificed himself sealing Zorc. Abidos reigned some unknown amount of time after that and was presumably part of a different dynasty from either of them.
The vibe of GX really does directly reflect Jaden's vibe and that continues through the whole series, including the slow spiral into Jaden's depression arc
Just wanted to point out that in the japanese, Jaden gives a much more understandable response to Abidos request. "Do you mind waiting a 100 years?" Basically saying that he would be perfectly fine dueling Abidos day in and day out after he kicks the bucket. Abidos's response? "Well I already waitined 3000 years, whats another 100?"
Man, I love Judai in the original series. He's just so damn _genuine._ It's a shame that the GX series doesn't have a good dub alongside what is functionally a gag dub.
That Kamen Rider OOO joke was great... Probably won't retroactively have some weird connection to that possible change in enthusiasm. I mean, where would an arm that posseses people even fit in the story?
3:06 Foreshadowing Rider Good analysis of Abydos' role. I suppose Atem's skills have created the idea that *all* pharaohs are good at Duel Monsters. Next one is really good, hope to see it soon.
You are just enabling him. We all have lives to live if he wants views and to make money he needs a normal upload schedule I understand health issues but who doesn’t. LK is a grown man that can put his big boy pants on
I am just dumbfounded how you can explain the card games in a more entertaining way than the actual show, I guess minus the Chazz. Would love to have you voice something for us!
I really gotta rewatch GX, it's always been my favorite due to how crazy it is. It throws so much at the wall that is DM lore and I love it so much. It plays around so much and I will forever be in love with it. I wish I could experience it for the first time again lol.
Love you Martin, I hope you're doing well. Your comedy has saved me from the darkest times of my life and I will always be grateful for it. You will always be like a brother to me. Peace and love man!
Didn't ancient Egyptians put their souls up for grabs when they shadow-dueled? I guess Abidos was just doing it for fun considering all of his servants still have their souls despite losing all the time.
1. I think its implied that after Zorc was sealed away and the Milennium Items were scattered, the dark magic used to make them and to perform Shadow Duels was either forbidden or forgotten by most. (Hell, the origins of the Milennium Items were kept secret even from Atem's father) 2. Them not using Shadow Dules makes sense since I'm guessing that would put the servants in an evem worse position. Either they lose and get their souls sent to hell/die or they kill their own Pharaoh and are executed right after lol
@@filipvadas7602 Even with the millennium items, they could fight without putting their souls at risk. Atem's priests trained by fighting each other. They were using their souls to manifest the monster, but as long as they didn't go all-in it just made them a bit tired when the monster was destroyed. The loser losing their soul was just what most modern shadow duels set as the punishment, but they didn't need to do it.
I scrolled a long time, i might have missed it but i haven't seen a mention of how hilarious that William Defoe's house bit was. It took me a full second too i was like explaooooomg amazing.

10:26: They're at least a semester into their special card-game-based curriculum, and none of them have learned about power creep? Those were meta-defining cards back in the day, Jaiden.
The good days when OTKs and formulas weren't seemingly a requisite and the ban list didn't update EVERY tournament to try and limit whatever won?
"Wait, are you telling me that people print stronger cards as time goes on? Then I better create stronger heroes!"

"the tone of the show is like the tone of the character"

Still a true statement, but some definite whip
I honestly can’t wait for him to find out how “happy” the series gets in Season 3. I think he’ll be pleasantly surprised, I certainly was lol
And then Season 4 focuses on a guy who unalives the entire planet.
The real question is if he's going to stop at season 3 with the "4kids" ending or switch to sub for season 4.
