@@slevinchannel7589 yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Mai_Valentine Here is a list. I only see 8, unless he is counting the Para and Dox duel (which had no result).
I have watched only the first 4 series and I think the only useful one was Akita (despite losing a lot of duels, which is a waste of potential honestly). Alexis had some screen time in season 1, but later in season 2 she became a side character the moment she joined those hypnotized students and in season 3 she didn’t do anything (well this season focused a lot on the students from other academies so it makes sense). She later had screen time in season 4, which I appreciated it a lot because of her relationship development with jaden, but still I would not say she was the best female protagonist after season 1
Anzu/Téa actually dueled Jounouchi/Joey 5 times in a row, and won all 5, 4 of which were off-screen. This brings her total duels to 7, and her win ratio remains at 100%.

@@slevinchannel7589 what do you mean tea is not hated and zexal wasn't bad after season 1 it just got better all the female characters are great and in fact Tori was the worst female character not saying she's bad she's just the worst one
Alexis was a badass all throughout the series. She was a respectable duelist. Not the damsel in distress type. And wasn't oversexualized. For me, her overall character just screams Best Girl.
I feel like Aki’s loss to Team Unicorn should be a win based on your rules for tag duels. If someone’s life hits 0, but their partner wins, you count it as a win. Similarly, this was a team duel against Team Unicorn. Team 5Ds won as a whole.
Not only that but the only reason she lost said duel was some Yusei could finish it. There were about 8 different ways for her to win with the cards in her hand but the writers didn't want to utilize them because Yusei didn't get his screentime yet. Pretty much everyone not named Yusei had that problem in this arc. 5D's is easily my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh spin off and I loved nearly all of the characters but the mechanics behind the WRGP tournament were dumb as hell.
At least there’s the D-Team ZEXAL manga. Tori got exactly one duel to herself... mostly. She won. Against a Litterbot. Kinda. Yuma took over her hand and deck on her final turn and won the whole thing.
@@omrizubary Honestly she was more of a cheer leader put in situations she shouldn't be in rather than a damsel in distress. Like seriously Tori was present during a lot of Yuma's major duels. Namely against Dr. Faker, Don Thousand, and Nasch.
@@krizwatcher Too bad when forming the Rey fragment for Fusion, Yubel pushed Alexis out of the mix and RIGHT into the Ancient Gear grinder but hey, can't win everything Edit: In context, it's more of the thought of why Alexis has a second self that exist but how the other female protags in Arc-V seem non-existant (in Kotori's case, it didn't really matter, but the idea's there)
@@kitelanford Honestly, this opens up the floodgates for all kinds of YGO fanfics that are set in alternate universes where some of the various characters are more awesome than in canon (I'm thinking Serenity and/or Tristan actually being able to competently duel).
@@krizwatcher There's a few Arc-V based fics around that, alternate worlds are nothing new... just the matter of terms, like the Rey v Zarc unfolding the way they did... The fact Ritual users are so few could be it's own plot point and a set-up for example... and me? Post-series Zarc being a bit of a dork
Never going to happen for marketing reasons. It’s like he said in this video: Yu-Gi-Oh! is kind of a boy’s club. Head down to your local tourneys and see how many girls are participating. In my neighborhood, just one. Since fans identify more with characters who are more like them, it’s likely that the main will always be a boy in order to pander to the majority male audience. I personally wouldn’t have a problem with a female lead. I always wished Aki got more duels, but it is what it is.
Nope. it's a fact women cant reach the same level of competition of men. Dont dulude yourself into thinking otherwise. Leave the childrens card games to the pros.
Speaking of female characters, I loved Ishizu in DM. I wish she had a greater role in the story. I like Marik as a villain but it could have been nice to see Ishizu so willing to protect her brother that she would stole his Milennium Rod to stop his connection with dark spirit and take on the role herself, becoming the main villain in the process. Also she looked really cool and the Gravekeepers are a fun archetype to play in Duel Links.
Thing is, Ishizu never played Gravekeepers in the series. None of the Ishtars did. Ishizu's deck was Earth-Attribute Fairy-Type monsters of very strange appearances, and her strategy was a sort of bait-and-switch decks and graveyards. It was a different type of strategy than anyone else had, and if she'd been a bit more featured dueling (she was a Battle City finalist, after all, but we never saw her duels prior to the Battle City finals), her stats could've been more fleshed out. The only duel Ishizu ever actually played on-screen was her Battle City Semi-Final match against Seto Kaiba, which she lost. She only had one featured duel, therefore a 0% win ratio on-screen, though that was only because Kaiba was saved by the plot armor of his connection to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon spirit warning him of Ishizu's trap, which counts in-universe because it's heavily relevant to his character and the plot. The story's narration and Ishizu's reputation (even Yami Marik was somewhat wary of her, until she gave away her Millennium Necklace) strongly suggests she's a very potent duelist. However, on screen, yeah, she has a 0% win stat. Her voice actor's YCS duel against Joey's voice actor and Red-Eyes Deck with a Gravekeeper's Deck was a lot of fun to watch, though.
I just gotta say: Yuzu got shafted in the storyline. Started off so good, as you say, being an active protagonist but then when the whole brainwash thing came into play it just fell hard. Really wish there were a female main protagonist at some point.
Akiza will always be my favorite of the female characters. She was so cool and badass, and I really liked her story. She also seemed like the least "damsel in distress" character.
To be fair, it's kind of easy to overlook her. She's typically overshadowed by Tea (being the main female lead, and getting the most screen time) and Mai, who was a pretty prominent character in a couple of seasons in the series. Rebecca was mostly sidelined during the waking the dragons arc, and the bulk of her duels were in the grand championship tournament arc just before the last arc of the series.
@@sargentjacob1 Yeah, she honestly didn't do much. Like I said, Mai and Tea were both seen far more often (even if the later barely dueled once in the series), so I can see why Rebecca would be a bit more forgettable by comparison.
@@sargentjacob1 Yeah, that was her. Their duel was supposedly the exact same one as their grandfathers had played out turn for turn; Yugi surrendered to teach her about friendship (the last card he would've drawn was Soul Release, which would've won him the game if he chose to play it). She would later develop a crush on Yugi as a result of this.
Let’s be fair. ALL of the main characters in Arc V got Shafted. The villains ended up being the best part of that show because they got more screentime then the heroes.
I think it’s kind of fitting that Celina and Alexis who are both Duel Academy representatives who are basically in school to LEARN to duel are the ones who have the better win ratio. I guess Duel Academy just proving that going to school furthers your career goals in dueling.
Wow GX is doing really good, 2 first places and 1 second place. Love it! I still really love your lists, and the addition with the -1 for losses is very smart and enjoy that a lot I would love a main female character, surprised here hasn’t been one yet Also a “bestfriend” list would be cool. With Joey Wheeler, Jesse Anderson, Crow Hogan, haven’t watched Zexal, Arc V and Vrains so I’m not sure who fits the bill for that, but that list would be cool
This man went the extra mile and considered not the normal female protagonists, but also the *_edgy_* female protagonists. Now that's what I call quality content!
I love that title but the statistics here are misleading at face value. Due to Yu-Gi-Oh being a Shonen each female lead had varying opportunity to duel and a large amount of their wins/losses were plot driven. For example Tea had to beat Joey and Crump, Asuka/Alexis had to lose to Judai/Jaden while she was in the society of light, and Aki/Akiza had to lose to Yusei both times and Andre. You'd need to put each character into a tournament with no influencing outside factors to get real workable data for this video.
So? The Statistics shows us literally nothing. Tea has 100% and Tori 0%?! Yeah, ok. And weirdly, i dont know where these 9 Wins of Mai are meant to come from, i cannot for my life remember her winning that often. But more importantly: Tea is hated by most Fans, and most important: Tori dragged me though Zexal. It was such an amazingly bad show after Season 1 ended, it was ridiculous. The Plot Holes gave me Pain in my Head and the bad Writing made my Heart hurt. But Tori was surely the best female Character in the FRANCHISE! She dragged me though the Show, till the end, no kidding. Yugioh is just wasting it's potential since decades now, it's sad. And the Females are probably the BEST Example for that. It really shows a lot.
Téa had so much potential when she pummeled Joey in the beginning of the DM series, then the show runners turned about and made her and Tristan both Yugi's personal cheerleaders instead.
Its more like because Tea is not supposed to be a duelist, thats why she was sidelined on the show, in season 0, she had more role when the show wasnt just about the card game
You Can Technically Make a Statment That Alexis or Zuzu Are Better Than Tea,Because Her Duel Against Joey in Episode 2 Wasn't Really and Official Duel,Because They Weren't Using Any Hologram System or Anything(Seriously,How Does Their Teacher Let Them Duel Right in the Middle of Class)Her Duel Against Mai,In My Opinion,Doesn't Count Because Mai Could've Won If She Didn't Forfeit.Her Duel Against Crump WAS In Fact,and Actual Duel,With the Hologram System and the Advanced Rules at the Time,So If Your Doing the Math,Besides Her Win Against Crump,In My Opinion,the Other 2 Duels Are Technically DNF's. So Tea's Duel Score Now Is: Total Duels:3 Win:1 Loss:0 Draw:0 DNF:2 Win Percentage:33.33% You Can Also Make a Case That Because Sam Doesn't Count DNF's as a Change to Their Win Percentage,So Tea's Score Would Still Be 100%,But Thta Was My Own Opinion. I Don't Think That Tea is the Best Duelist.
I thought yubel technically only had 1 duel. The others from when Jesse was possessed were like a corruption thing if I remember correctly. Like he didn't act like Yubel, he acted like evil Jesse, so I would count those as separate. Although I could be completely wrong, I only watched GX once and it was like over a decade ago.
The saddest realization for the fanbase is that Tea was best known for being a burn deck in Duel Links, which even that got taken away from her through Weevil’s Parasite/Golem deck. RIP Tea.
@@herbcruz4697 Nah, seasons 1 and 2 were great. Partially lacking direction, but hey, it's a fucking school. Every day is both the same and not the same.
Can we really count teas wins though Joey was off screen minus the last turn Mai let her win plus minus Tori the other female characters in the first list dueled more times
Anzu's only "legit" win, in the Noah Arc, came against Crump via Dark Magician Girl - and my favorite part about it is the fact Anzu had on her white-and-blue version of my favorite look of hers (white thigh-high socks with blue platform sandals)
@@Mike_Ka-Chowski On the flipside Serenity also has a perfect w/l record like Tea... even with only 1 duel. Ishizu also probably would've beaten Kaiba if she ignored her prophecy and just direct attacked him vs. summoning a third monster (no joke the different sting of events makes it extremely hard for him to come back from.)
Téa actually has nine offscreen duels in Episode Two. It's specifically mentioned that the duel we see her win in the episode is the tenth(!) in a row that she's beaten Joey.

@@givecamichips I said they ruined the pattern ( n/(n+1) ) not that they weren't simple fractions. But I guess Tea could follow the pattern if n->∞ but that breaks simplicity.
Yeah like getting hit by mirror force shouldn't have worked very well on her but its Ema's fault for not using the absolute stupid control her deck is capable of😅
As soon as I saw this I thought, Tea is the only undefeated character in the series that I can think of - it's actually a long-standing meme that she's statistically the best duelist in the franchise 😂
Another note about Yuzu! She is the only female character who tag team with a male character, the male character lost, and then she went on to win 2 VS 1. Also typically when a male and female tag team the male often seen as the offensive while the female is the support duelist. This was not the case with Yuzu.
Akiza is my favorite. Blue angel aoi I thought had potential but nothing really as time went on. Tori didn't like much. Tea first girl and series one I always give passes on Alexis was fun but arc v messed her up Yuzu could have bee better if she was Serena
@@michaelsegal7443 yeah I didn't like that much but that gives her and aoi something in common as blue angel died a few times and mind controll as well but Alexis was better handled even back then same as aki being able to duel a ton Also funny is I made the joke blue angel lost every second duel see played And i was right as she always lost. But yeah tea tori I didn't like much. Yuzu had potential and blue angel should have been better. Alexis did well enough but arc v messed her up even then as she lost a lot and Aki while losing her spot to crow still did very well end game against that blonde girl who made more issues that solve.
I would love more female representation in Yu-Gi-Oh. I know it's a Shonen series, which is more geared towards boys, but a female main character would be cool to see.
Makes sense with the first list when you think about how active the characters were in the story and how kinda realistic they were in their ability to improve. They're the most realistic win percentages. Tea didn't do much but narrate, Alexis was an obelisk blue for a good reason, Akiza was a strong duelist and was kicking people's tails before protag interruption then went downhill, Tori didn't do much besides cheerlead for Yuma, and Yuzu was very willing to learn and change her deck to make it better. Didn't watch Vrains so can't comment on that, but that's the impression each female lead gave me so the list fits what I expected. I don't think Yugioh will ever do a female main protagonist because they know their target audience is mostly males, but having a female secondary protagonist with a significant part would be nice. Or a female rival.
The fact that you compared your scoring to how someone in a game is "losing platinum" or something like that means to me that anyone with a positive (more than 50%) win rate is actually really amazing. I mean, it makes Alexis (and obv the queen of supreme, the undefeated champion herself, Tea Gardner) absolutely bonkers, but the "awful" 56.25% winrate Mai has is nuts. Like imagine if a yugioh card had a 56.25% play rate..that shit would find itself on the banned/limited list so fast. Mind you, Yugioh has utter nonsense like pot of greed that would have a 100% playright, but still lol
Akiza has always been my favorite yugioh female duelist. Between her awesome lore and black rose I couldn’t help but fall in love with her and her deck
I think the Sevens and Go Rush series of Yu-Gi-Oh have better female characters in terms of active participation in dueling and the plot...Yuamu and Yuuhi are twins and are main characters alongsode Yudias and have been helping him so yeah....I need to finish watching both these series at some point since I fell out of watching them due to being busy with life and other projects. Out of the Gallop run of Yu-Gi-Oh shows, my favorite female protagonist probably has to be Yuzu or Serena. Serena because she was the most badass one at the time of her debut (in my opinion). And even tho Mai's win record ain't the best, I still like her along with Anzu/Tea and Blue Angel/Aoi. I really wish Aoi was treated better in Vrains. Oh well. And Asuna/Alexis is awesome too..I liked her a lot as well in GX.
I would LOVE to have a female protagonist just for one series! ❤ That would be awesome! Also, it would be nice if she had less female and more male cards or maybe even no human like monsters at all! 😊
@@MahouKat The few exceptions to "girl uses girl monsters because nobody else can use them" I can think of are Ishizu using Egyptian fairies, Akiza using plants, and Siegfried using valkyries and fates. It's actually fitting since Ishizu and Akiza are fairly serious characters while Siegfried is a massive fop.
Tea actually had a nice basic understanding of the game, she knew the rules and some basic combos but lacked any practice and any confidence in herself. She was definitely better than Tori

Yugioh is just wasting it's potential since decades now, it's sad. And the Females are probably the BEST Example for that. It really shows a lot.
@@slevinchannel7589 yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Mai_Valentine

Wow.
Just Wow.
No wonder i dont remember this nonsensical win-streak.
@@Dragonite43 don't try to explain to this guy he spams everywhere
Obviously Alexis. She's the only non-Arc V female character in the series who's actually taken seriously.
I have watched only the first 4 series and I think the only useful one was Akita (despite losing a lot of duels, which is a waste of potential honestly). Alexis had some screen time in season 1, but later in season 2 she became a side character the moment she joined those hypnotized students and in season 3 she didn’t do anything (well this season focused a lot on the students from other academies so it makes sense). She later had screen time in season 4, which I appreciated it a lot because of her relationship development with jaden, but still I would not say she was the best female protagonist after season 1

I’m glad you expanded on your “honorable mentions” section from the rivals video to go into a full on second round of scoring for the ladies. Good female representation is sparse in the series, so it’s nice to get some stats on those ladies too. Great job!
Sammme my first is akiza then alexis then Rio, then serena and at 5th is luna
Aki's losses are against the main character where she loses by a hair and 1 riding duel which she isn't as skilled at as traditional duels.
@Dyrect Lynk Nah man, Alexis all they way!
@Dyrect Lynk true
@ULGROTHA We're talking about the anime though
Akiza will always be my favorite female character. Her voice in the English dub gives me chills.

Definitely
The main villains of the ZEXAL and ARC-V mangas are females: E'Rah and Eve, respectively.
Main protag as a girl I'm coo with that
Arc-V showed 16 female duelists actively dueling throughout the series including Yuya's mother. Arc-V provided the most female representation out of all the series.
@@ScionStorm1 Too bad they didn't do squat with it much like everything else about Arc-V.
I need a storyline where a mysterious female duelist is making her way up the ranks. Only after she wins king of games is it revealed to be Tea who wanted to take her dueling more seriously but didn't want her friends to go easy on her.
YES that's the AU movie/ series I need.
Would be cool if her deck was monsters related to music and dancing since that's her true goal
All of her monsters are fairy xyz. Because of friendship

@@RivanEXT99 yea the higher grade Kotori decks also focus basically what happens when she goes unchained with Agents…

Teas decks are the new version of dark magician girl and witchcrafter in duel links. Her decks are good tbh
They are, her witchcrafter combos can get pretty long too! Lol
Lol at least they fixed her AI so she didn't deck herself constantly.
Tea actually runs both engines in her deck, she doesn't have two decks.
Tea is too broken man, the real queen of duels!

Alexis was a badass all throughout the series. She was a respectable duelist. Not the damsel in distress type. And wasn't oversexualized. For me, her overall character just screams Best Girl.
Plus she got tig ‘ol bitties.
I completely agree, but it was annoying whenever they kept using her for filler episodes of some random dude that is in love with her and duels her.
I dunno, they made sure to give her a giant chest every time and her Arc-V self was subtly more "fit" than her GX original.
Tea is undefeatable. Tori dueling is meh. Asuka, Alexis and Zuzu are Best Girls.
@kayl6470 kayl6470 this is correct.
Asuka is alexis. Just Japanese sub
@RewindBobo she literally has a talent for playing yu-gi-oh(she beat joey 40 times after just learning how to play)..
@RewindBobo in the novel it states fourty.
@RewindBobo and so was tea Gardner's deck.
I feel like Aki’s loss to Team Unicorn should be a win based on your rules for tag duels. If someone’s life hits 0, but their partner wins, you count it as a win. Similarly, this was a team duel against Team Unicorn. Team 5Ds won as a whole.
DanelerH i agree. that‘s a main point of crow being a undefeated side character
Not only that but the only reason she lost said duel was some Yusei could finish it. There were about 8 different ways for her to win with the cards in her hand but the writers didn't want to utilize them because Yusei didn't get his screentime yet. Pretty much everyone not named Yusei had that problem in this arc.
5D's is easily my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh spin off and I loved nearly all of the characters but the mechanics behind the WRGP tournament were dumb as hell.
Tori's scores literally hurt my eyes man... poor girl...
Tori was designed to be the densel in distress of the Show for Yuma to save😪 but when he try his best she scolds him
At least there’s the D-Team ZEXAL manga. Tori got exactly one duel to herself... mostly. She won. Against a Litterbot. Kinda.
Yuma took over her hand and deck on her final turn and won the whole thing.
@@omrizubary Honestly she was more of a cheer leader put in situations she shouldn't be in rather than a damsel in distress. Like seriously Tori was present during a lot of Yuma's major duels. Namely against Dr. Faker, Don Thousand, and Nasch.
Yeah they should've put more effort to her character other than just to be Yuma's private cheerer
You forgot about teas offscreen duels where she beat Joey seven times in a row when they where walking to grandpa sololomons shop
I like how Alexis and Jaden have the same ranking of 1st for # of duels, 2nd for Duel %, 1st for Duel Score, and Overall as 1st. True Power Couple.
They should have gotten together IMHO.
@@krizwatcher Too bad when forming the Rey fragment for Fusion, Yubel pushed Alexis out of the mix and RIGHT into the Ancient Gear grinder but hey, can't win everything

Never going to happen for marketing reasons. It’s like he said in this video: Yu-Gi-Oh! is kind of a boy’s club. Head down to your local tourneys and see how many girls are participating. In my neighborhood, just one. Since fans identify more with characters who are more like them, it’s likely that the main will always be a boy in order to pander to the majority male audience.
I personally wouldn’t have a problem with a female lead. I always wished Aki got more duels, but it is what it is.

Nope. it's a fact women cant reach the same level of competition of men. Dont dulude yourself into thinking otherwise. Leave the childrens card games to the pros.
Speaking of female characters, I loved Ishizu in DM. I wish she had a greater role in the story. I like Marik as a villain but it could have been nice to see Ishizu so willing to protect her brother that she would stole his Milennium Rod to stop his connection with dark spirit and take on the role herself, becoming the main villain in the process. Also she looked really cool and the Gravekeepers are a fun archetype to play in Duel Links.
Yesss
That actually sounds awesome.
Thing is, Ishizu never played Gravekeepers in the series. None of the Ishtars did. Ishizu's deck was Earth-Attribute Fairy-Type monsters of very strange appearances, and her strategy was a sort of bait-and-switch decks and graveyards. It was a different type of strategy than anyone else had, and if she'd been a bit more featured dueling (she was a Battle City finalist, after all, but we never saw her duels prior to the Battle City finals), her stats could've been more fleshed out. The only duel Ishizu ever actually played on-screen was her Battle City Semi-Final match against Seto Kaiba, which she lost. She only had one featured duel, therefore a 0% win ratio on-screen, though that was only because Kaiba was saved by the plot armor of his connection to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon spirit warning him of Ishizu's trap, which counts in-universe because it's heavily relevant to his character and the plot. The story's narration and Ishizu's reputation (even Yami Marik was somewhat wary of her, until she gave away her Millennium Necklace) strongly suggests she's a very potent duelist. However, on screen, yeah, she has a 0% win stat. Her voice actor's YCS duel against Joey's voice actor and Red-Eyes Deck with a Gravekeeper's Deck was a lot of fun to watch, though.
Did you know she goes on to become Kiaba’s wife
I really like her to! Would love to have seen her duel more!
I just gotta say: Yuzu got shafted in the storyline. Started off so good, as you say, being an active protagonist but then when the whole brainwash thing came into play it just fell hard. Really wish there were a female main protagonist at some point.
Yo Yukari when?
Akiza will always be my favorite of the female characters. She was so cool and badass, and I really liked her story. She also seemed like the least "damsel in distress" character.
Mai, Alexis and Akiza are the best girls. End of discussion.
U crazy they don't stand a chance against Celina
Glad to have an agreement. Tea Gardner is the best indeed.
Nevermind it was Rei Saotome/Blair Flannigan
I agree they are the best apart from akiza
*Mai and Alexis
Tgs anime: we’re going with mai bc there’s no other female in duel monsters
Rebecca Hawkins: am I a joke to you?
To be fair, it's kind of easy to overlook her. She's typically overshadowed by Tea (being the main female lead, and getting the most screen time) and Mai, who was a pretty prominent character in a couple of seasons in the series. Rebecca was mostly sidelined during the waking the dragons arc, and the bulk of her duels were in the grand championship tournament arc just before the last arc of the series.
I honestly don't remember this character...
@@sargentjacob1 Yeah, she honestly didn't do much. Like I said, Mai and Tea were both seen far more often (even if the later barely dueled once in the series), so I can see why Rebecca would be a bit more forgettable by comparison.
@@matthewkuscienko4616 Oh! Was she the child who Duelled Yugi but he surrendered to avoid totally crushing her?
@@sargentjacob1 Yeah, that was her. Their duel was supposedly the exact same one as their grandfathers had played out turn for turn; Yugi surrendered to teach her about friendship (the last card he would've drawn was Soul Release, which would've won him the game if he chose to play it). She would later develop a crush on Yugi as a result of this.
Akiza has to be my most favorite female character in all of Yu-Gi-Oh
Yuzu started off well and then became great before getting shafted.
Alexis was really good too even through the ending.
Let’s be fair. ALL of the main characters in Arc V got Shafted. The villains ended up being the best part of that show because they got more screentime then the heroes.
Fuck Arc V's second half tbh
I think it’s kind of fitting that Celina and Alexis who are both Duel Academy representatives who are basically in school to LEARN to duel are the ones who have the better win ratio. I guess Duel Academy just proving that going to school furthers your career goals in dueling.
Wow GX is doing really good, 2 first places and 1 second place. Love it!
I still really love your lists, and the addition with the -1 for losses is very smart and enjoy that a lot
I would love a main female character, surprised here hasn’t been one yet
Also a “bestfriend” list would be cool. With Joey Wheeler, Jesse Anderson, Crow Hogan, haven’t watched Zexal, Arc V and Vrains so I’m not sure who fits the bill for that, but that list would be cool
I'm proud to watch GX as a kid.
I genuinely forgot Kotori had even dueled at all.
Alexis best girl though, closely followed by aki in my opinion.
“I find it very hard to call Tori Meadows a duelist with these scores”
Wells terrible duelist is still a duelist😅
Alexis: Luck. Is loser's exuse
Joey: I have feeling like I got dissed
During GX Joey isn't just luck but also skill, he becomes a very skillful duelist being at rank 3 best duelist from Pegasus.

Missed a *huge* opportunity to call this, "Statistically, Who is Best Girl?"
Dylan took care of that one already so it's fine.
I love that title but the statistics here are misleading at face value. Due to Yu-Gi-Oh being a Shonen each female lead had varying opportunity to duel and a large amount of their wins/losses were plot driven. For example Tea had to beat Joey and Crump, Asuka/Alexis had to lose to Judai/Jaden while she was in the society of light, and Aki/Akiza had to lose to Yusei both times and Andre. You'd need to put each character into a tournament with no influencing outside factors to get real workable data for this video.
There's gonna be a war in the comments section with that
@@Ahloveyafuhso Akiza hands down
So? The Statistics shows us literally nothing.
Tea has 100% and Tori 0%?! Yeah, ok.
And weirdly, i dont know where these 9 Wins of Mai are meant to come from, i cannot for my life remember her winning that often.
But more importantly: Tea is hated by most Fans, and most important:
Tori dragged me though Zexal. It was such an amazingly bad show after Season 1 ended, it was ridiculous.
The Plot Holes gave me Pain in my Head and the bad Writing made my Heart hurt.

Yugioh is just wasting it's potential since decades now, it's sad. And the Females are probably the BEST Example for that. It really shows a lot.
Téa had so much potential when she pummeled Joey in the beginning of the DM series, then the show runners turned about and made her and Tristan both Yugi's personal cheerleaders instead.
Its more like because Tea is not supposed to be a duelist, thats why she was sidelined on the show, in season 0, she had more role when the show wasnt just about the card game
Let's face it, the real heroine of DM is Dark Magician Girl.
The virtual arc though shown that Tea is more than capable of dueling whenever she needs to when at a high steak that can't be avoided.
Me after Tea's 100% win ratio: Shocked
Me after Tori's 0% win ratio: Laughs because it's so bad
Tea best girl, Tori worst girl confirmed
Well...we should _technically_ count Yubel as "best" considering she did duel _more,_ and on less shaky grounds...
You Can Technically Make a Statment That Alexis or Zuzu Are Better Than Tea,Because Her Duel Against Joey in Episode 2 Wasn't Really and Official Duel,Because They Weren't Using Any Hologram System or Anything(Seriously,How Does Their Teacher Let Them Duel Right in the Middle of Class)Her Duel Against Mai,In My Opinion,Doesn't Count Because Mai Could've Won If She Didn't Forfeit.Her Duel Against Crump WAS In Fact,and Actual Duel,With the Hologram System and the Advanced Rules at the Time,So If Your Doing the Math,Besides Her Win Against Crump,In My Opinion,the Other 2 Duels Are Technically DNF's.
So Tea's Duel Score Now Is:
Total Duels:3
Win:1
Loss:0
Draw:0
DNF:2
Win Percentage:33.33%
You Can Also Make a Case That Because Sam Doesn't Count DNF's as a Change to Their Win Percentage,So Tea's Score Would Still Be 100%,But Thta Was My Own Opinion. I Don't Think That Tea is the Best Duelist.
I thought yubel technically only had 1 duel. The others from when Jesse was possessed were like a corruption thing if I remember correctly. Like he didn't act like Yubel, he acted like evil Jesse, so I would count those as separate. Although I could be completely wrong, I only watched GX once and it was like over a decade ago.
Shit pfp
I love Alexis Rhodes ( Gx, Arc V, Manga )
The saddest realization for the fanbase is that Tea was best known for being a burn deck in Duel Links, which even that got taken away from her through Weevil’s Parasite/Golem deck. RIP Tea.
Yuzu and Selena both in the TOP 5
Me: I can get behind that idea
*lifts a can of beer*
CHEERS!
100% down with a female protagonist this next series
Totally
Sounds like you want a Yuko, then.
Female being main protagonist while male being rival and duelist friend would be great to see.
My girl Alexis out here proving GX is still one of the best, if not the best, series 😤
Nope, 5ds has duels on motocycles, cant comoare with that some fusions, even if i liked the cyber dragon deck a lot XD
SKRILL_ 2O but what about sexy masochist goth Zane?
GX was garbage until Season 3 (Jaden's third/final year at Duel Academy).
@@herbcruz4697 Nah, seasons 1 and 2 were great. Partially lacking direction, but hey, it's a fucking school. Every day is both the same and not the same.
@@darknessknows1235 The filler ruined GX, for me.
Tori: You mean who to lose to today?
Me: Look who’s talking.
Can we really count teas wins though
Joey was off screen minus the last turn
Mai let her win plus minus Tori the other female characters in the first list dueled more times
Team FM Reborn Alexis got 31 off screen wins
Also he said in the first episode of the series if it’s a win it’s a win and if it’s a loss it’s a loss regardless of the circumstances.
You're Pfp lol
Anzu's only "legit" win, in the Noah Arc, came against Crump via Dark Magician Girl - and my favorite part about it is the fact Anzu had on her white-and-blue version of my favorite look of hers (white thigh-high socks with blue platform sandals)
@@vegetalover9297 what
"... only one other person for DM." shows Mai
Me, as a Serenity fan: :'(
Me, as an Ishizu fan :(
Rebecca in a filler was more involved than Serenity and Ishizu combined
@@Mike_Ka-Chowski On the flipside Serenity also has a perfect w/l record like Tea... even with only 1 duel.
Ishizu also probably would've beaten Kaiba if she ignored her prophecy and just direct attacked him vs. summoning a third monster (no joke the different sting of events makes it extremely hard for him to come back from.)
Téa actually has nine offscreen duels in Episode Two. It's specifically mentioned that the duel we see her win in the episode is the tenth(!) in a row that she's beaten Joey.
"Ghost Girl, no..."
So? The Statistics shows us literally nothing.
Tea has 100% and Tori 0%?! Yeah, ok.
And weirdly, i dont know where these 9 Wins of Mai are meant to come from, i cannot for my life remember her winning that often.
But more importantly: Tea is hated by most Fans, and most important:
Tori dragged me though Zexal. It was such an amazingly bad show after Season 1 ended, it was ridiculous.
The Plot Holes gave me Pain in my Head and the bad Writing made my Heart hurt.
But Tori was surely the best female Character in the FRANCHISE!
She dragged me though the Show, till the end, no kidding.
Yugioh is just wasting it's potential since decades now, it's sad. And the Females are probably the BEST Example for that. It really shows a lot.
@@slevinchannel7589 dude stop spamming this for the love of God
@@slevinchannel7589 and dude this literally has nothing to do with what you're saying
The win ratios are simple fractions:
Yuzu is 3/4
Aki is 2/3
Aoi is 1/2
Tori is 0/1
Tea and Alexis ruin the pattern
>implying 1/1 isn't a simple fraction
Tea is 4/4
@@givecamichips I said they ruined the pattern ( n/(n+1) ) not that they weren't simple fractions. But I guess Tea could follow the pattern if n->∞ but that breaks simplicity.
Tea 100% win rate! Remember that time..... I never lost?
I agree with you, I would like to see a more active female character or main character. It's different.
15:12 "She's playing altergeists by the way" The fact that you specified that makes it so funny and so sad.
Yeah like getting hit by mirror force shouldn't have worked very well on her but its Ema's fault for not using the absolute stupid control her deck is capable of😅
As soon as I saw this I thought, Tea is the only undefeated character in the series that I can think of - it's actually a long-standing meme that she's statistically the best duelist in the franchise 😂
Well, too bad for Alexis, Jaden is already taken. You can thank some yandere monster spirit for that.
Zexal Manga had female main rival!!!
She was so mysterious and hot.
im reading the Zexal Manga (Currently) how good is she?
Another note about Yuzu! She is the only female character who tag team with a male character, the male character lost, and then she went on to win 2 VS 1. Also typically when a male and female tag team the male often seen as the offensive while the female is the support duelist. This was not the case with Yuzu.
Jaden is the best male protagonist
Alexis is the best female protagonist
Coincidence? I think NOT!!!
and Chaze is CHAZE
CHAZE IT UP brah.
OCL 73150 CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP!
@@vice2792ocl Not Chazz. THE Chazz!
didn't jaden end up commiting to the yubel tho
@@zozidedodo780
Your comment:omea wa mo shendiru
Me trying to ship Jaden X Alexis:NANI
I'd love to see statistically who the best villain in each season of each series is!
I'm just gonna guess here but ZARC would probably be #1
Akiza is my favorite.
Blue angel aoi I thought had potential but nothing really as time went on.
Tori didn't like much.
Tea first girl and series one I always give passes on
Alexis was fun but arc v messed her up
Yuzu could have bee better if she was Serena
ivanbluecool honestly Alexis had problems in GX as well. She was killed off twice in seasons 3 and 4 while in season 2 she was brainwashed
@@michaelsegal7443 yeah I didn't like that much but that gives her and aoi something in common as blue angel died a few times and mind controll as well but Alexis was better handled even back then same as aki being able to duel a ton
Also funny is I made the joke blue angel lost every second duel see played And i was right as she always lost.
But yeah tea tori I didn't like much. Yuzu had potential and blue angel should have been better. Alexis did well enough but arc v messed her up even then as she lost a lot and Aki while losing her spot to crow still did very well end game against that blonde girl who made more issues that solve.
Akiza is my favourite for a *couple* of reasons.
@@conormurphy4328 "big personality" right. But serious she probably did the most even with major cuts to her story
ivanbluecool yea, definitely one of my favourite characters.
I would love more female representation in Yu-Gi-Oh. I know it's a Shonen series, which is more geared towards boys, but a female main character would be cool to see.
You know gx is the best when both protagonist and female lead are at the top asserting dominance
"Just do something different!"
Alexis: Luck is a loser's excuse
Joey: *Sad Brooklyn noises*
Makes sense with the first list when you think about how active the characters were in the story and how kinda realistic they were in their ability to improve. They're the most realistic win percentages. Tea didn't do much but narrate, Alexis was an obelisk blue for a good reason, Akiza was a strong duelist and was kicking people's tails before protag interruption then went downhill, Tori didn't do much besides cheerlead for Yuma, and Yuzu was very willing to learn and change her deck to make it better. Didn't watch Vrains so can't comment on that, but that's the impression each female lead gave me so the list fits what I expected. I don't think Yugioh will ever do a female main protagonist because they know their target audience is mostly males, but having a female secondary protagonist with a significant part would be nice. Or a female rival.
The fact that you compared your scoring to how someone in a game is "losing platinum" or something like that means to me that anyone with a positive (more than 50%) win rate is actually really amazing. I mean, it makes Alexis (and obv the queen of supreme, the undefeated champion herself, Tea Gardner) absolutely bonkers, but the "awful" 56.25% winrate Mai has is nuts.
Like imagine if a yugioh card had a 56.25% play rate..that shit would find itself on the banned/limited list so fast. Mind you, Yugioh has utter nonsense like pot of greed that would have a 100% playright, but still lol
Tea did duel more off screen, she beat Joey like 7 times i think. So her stats are even better
Never doubted my girl Alexis for a second. This was awesome!!!
Statistaclly The Best Villain
Trueman from GX with 7 billion win.
Riqua 27 please give him his proper name of “Mr.T”
@@conormurphy4328 I think the more proper name will be Agent T.
Mad Dog
Yuuri
Akiza has always been my favorite yugioh female duelist. Between her awesome lore and black rose I couldn’t help but fall in love with her and her deck
I think the Sevens and Go Rush series of Yu-Gi-Oh have better female characters in terms of active participation in dueling and the plot...Yuamu and Yuuhi are twins and are main characters alongsode Yudias and have been helping him so yeah....I need to finish watching both these series at some point since I fell out of watching them due to being busy with life and other projects.
Out of the Gallop run of Yu-Gi-Oh shows, my favorite female protagonist probably has to be Yuzu or Serena. Serena because she was the most badass one at the time of her debut (in my opinion). And even tho Mai's win record ain't the best, I still like her along with Anzu/Tea and Blue Angel/Aoi. I really wish Aoi was treated better in Vrains. Oh well. And Asuna/Alexis is awesome too..I liked her a lot as well in GX.
I would LOVE to have a female protagonist just for one series! ❤ That would be awesome! Also, it would be nice if she had less female and more male cards or maybe even no human like monsters at all! 😊
I always found that trope so strange tbh
@@MahouKat The few exceptions to "girl uses girl monsters because nobody else can use them" I can think of are Ishizu using Egyptian fairies, Akiza using plants, and Siegfried using valkyries and fates. It's actually fitting since Ishizu and Akiza are fairly serious characters while Siegfried is a massive fop.
At some point, you have to make a video on the statistically best best friend in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Tea beat
A main character
A professional duelist
And a serious antagonist.
For only three battles total.... that's very impressive you gotta admit.
Tea actually had a nice basic understanding of the game, she knew the rules and some basic combos but lacked any practice and any confidence in herself. She was definitely better than Tori
@@emanueleciralli7559 she actually paid attention to strategy and had a few moments where she figured out strategies before the more 'Experienced' players did.
