Yugioh Everything what you said in this video makes alot of since. I wasn't sure at first but then you brought up BLS and the name change. And since Yugi was constantly badgered by people wanting to duel him, I believe it got to a point where he said "that's it no more".
ALDUIN SHADOW There may not be any solid evidence that Zexal is in the main timeline however just because Syrcho monsters aren't there doesn't mean they don't exist. The signer dragons aren't there because they aren't as old as the DM/GX monsters. Originally the first sneak peak of Zexal contained them...
To be fair, based on the way he seems to be balding, if we assume Yugi's Grandpa is balding under that cap (using it to hide the bald spot because being left with bangs and a top bald spot looks really awkward, obviously =P), there's almost a familiar resemblance to the hair there, since the younger Solomon Muto had similar 2 tone spikey hair (Gold and graying already in his middle years), and, if you cared to reach, you could totally consider the 3 gray spike on each side baldness as a trait inherited from his Grandpa. Shame about how much faster his baldness progressed by comparison, though. . . . Oh, huh, you sort of mention that at the end.

Something I've been wanting to say for awhile was that statement. I first thought about it about an hour after I had watched this video after it was uploaded, but always had my head on over thinking so much. Seeing this comment has made my spring/summer of this year. (2019)
@@sadpizza1786 Agreed, Yugi would look a lot more like Solomon as an old man. Like the only way, this would be possible is if Yugi got plastic surgery/facial reconstruction, cut off his hair, and such regularly. I like the theory tho. Don't get me wrong.
I honestly think Roku is actually Yugi’s protégé because it’s never been confirmed that he had the chance to marry Tea and have a kid. However, if Yugi were to teach someone who was truly devoted to Duel Monsters as they truly are that he would respect them by carving statues of them, then it may be feasible to think that he would inherit his teachers cards.

It seems they probobly had a long distance relationship for a while while She chased her dream in america and yugi devoted his life to making his own games. After that is kinda left up to interpretation.
MAN! Solomon muto and jaden talked to each other saying: -where is yugi now? -ah, you know, just to an another adventure....or something like that....... What if yugioh gx would start again but from yugi's perspective!??? Showing those adventures!? Wouldn't that be awesome? O_O
What would be awesome is to get the three kings back together again and make another series of them again facing bigger and tougher enemies the other 3 main character of the other series can be side characters but Yugi, Jaden and yusei should always outshine them

Good video! Random shower thought: ever realised how adding Yuma's and Kaito's numbers (39-utopia, 62-Kaito) you get Shark/Nasch's number-101. That's pretty cool having the connection between the three main characters.
I think it's Syrus Truesdale from Yu-Gi-Oh GX because there is some monsters from GX. Roku is short, Cyrus is short. Cyrus watched a duel between Dimitri and Jaden and he knows how to use Yugi's deck. Btw he lost from a barian.
Question: if you believe this to be true, does that mean for you that Yugi would not be in the 5ds timeline? Or just that there are two different yugis in the different timelines.
I think there would be two different Yugis! They are basically two timelines and universes that run parallel to each other. The only major difference is that something happened to Seto Kaiba in the Zexal one! Hence why there is no Kaiba Corp
Yugioh Everything awesome. Thanks for responding. I figured that would be the case, I don't study multiverse theory, lol. Still trying to figure out the other characters in arc v. Gotta rewatch your video about that. :)
It all happened when zorc was defeated it created a new timeline in wich yugi has no millenium puzzle so his wih for inding friends does not come true so kaiba does not hear about the rare card of yugi's grandpa as a result he never loses to yugi/atem. And after that he is killed by pegasus so we have kc.Yugi having no friends an being bulied decides to go somewhere that he can not be found
killer Duck he did talk about that a little bit in other videos, but I can answer that. He travelled back in time, even when a timeline splits, traveling back in time would still go back before a timeline splits. It's just going across timelines requires interdimensional travel as opposed to time travel.
This totally blows my mind! I really appreciate all the cannon research you do for every one of your theories and videos. I was wondering, if you would be interested in looking into the theory that Mokuba Kaiba is Yusei Fudo's father?
Roku is obviously somebody else, perhaps some kid that grew up watching duelist kingdom matches and thats the end of it, he looks nothing and 100% nothing like Yugi, the nose is wrong, the face shape is way off and the iconic hair...Yugi would look much closer to Grandpa
This is a fantastic theory 😉 The only problem I have with this theory is why Yugi would change his deck and the fact that he lost badly in Zexals final season (if he was Yugi he would've won)
Yugioh Everything I know!!! It's crazy!!! Thanks for commenting to me!!! You have the best yugioh videos on UA-cam. You go super in depth like I do in real life too. You are awesome and I watch every video.
@@asphirron in the episode where the number controls the photographist kid, one of the duelists he defeats uses at least polymerisation. on the ground you see them and why include polymerization if you can't use it.
Thats one possible answer. Yugi is more closer to Mokuba than his brother Seto, so maybe Yugi passed some of his cards along with Seto's including the facts and info about the millenium items and ancient egypt
It isn’t to hard to believe that someone was recording the final duel of darkside of dimensions an so knew yugi saved the world and leaked the footage forcing yugi to change his name P.S. there is a theory that yugi is the modern reincarnation of Atem
Yugi is the modern reincarnation of Atem, that's not a theory. Same goes for Priest/Pharaoh Seto -> Seto Kaiba, Priest Shada -> Shadi, and Isis -> Ishizu, among others.
I definitely agree that Roku and Yugi are connected in some way. (He looks like grandpa Muto.) BUT, Not technically related, since I've seen your OG timeline video, but pause the video at 11:28 and look closely at the jacket of the enemy. There are a few things I notice: 1. it's like the antagonists of the first season of 5Ds. 2. The birdlike design of the jacket seems similar to Crow. 3. (Not at the timestamp) Chaos' eyes are heterochromatic, which is what happens to Judai (Jaden in the ENG Dub) when he obtains the cool power. Just something I found interesting. Thanks for your videos. I know I'm late to the party.
this theory does make a lot of sense you made some really interesting points during the video and I could see yugi eventually growing up to be like Roku in terms of personality
I've got a theory for you. What would happen if Yugi lost the final battle (the one with Atem)? Would he (Atem) live like a normal people with yugi or be like his bigger brother (because Yugi means a lot for Atem and Atem for Yugi) ? Would Yugi take he's Muleniam Puzzle back and live like before? What do you think? Should this be a theory???
Elena Neagu I think they would have just moved forward. Stem still kickin it in the puzzle then coming out when needed or when Yugi would let him walk in around in public. This would continue until Yugi finally beat him.
But why would bastion have black luster solder one of yugi moto's signature cards!? IT MAKES NO SENSE! yeah the names are the same but there are no other similarities between them whatsoever their decks are completely different and one is clearly better than the other (it's roku seeing as he defeated the main character twice and is shown to have hold his own against a barian emperor granted he still lost ,but bastion wouldn't even last one turn against girag so...)
What's a bastion sounds like a character from yugioh gx who was a important character but also a useless forgettable character and was also kind of annoying and always said how smart he was even though he sucked and the only reason he never made it to obelisk because he decided that the only way he would is if the beat Judai even though he's the main character so we all know that never would've happened. Ehh I could be wrong
Either He is Yugi, or he is yugi's son.............Anyway that would finally make ZEXAL canon to the other tmain timeline....and leave ARC-V as its own alternate Universe where Zarc fucked things up. That just leaves VRAINS.................uhmmm eh tthats for another day
Kawaii Desu Perhaps Grandpa Mutou for some reason has a long life span or maybe he's a spirit himself remember he's the modern day reincarnation of one of Atem's Priest who once possessed the Millennium Key there has to be some theory about that
Yugi wouldn't be able to go into shadow realm or put people's spirits into monsters without the puzzle, so as fun as this theory is, I don't think it's true
Well who do u think has the puzzle, or other millennium item, that did it? Even if advanced tech transported him into the dm, what took them to the shadow realm or whatever realm they were in? I haven't watched this series yet, but seems to be too many obvious comparison to not be connected to someone from duel monsters. Seto, way too tall. Maybe Mokuba, he seemed to really admire and respect Yugi's way of handling situations. He even went to Yugi for help on multiple occasions, not too mention that he had a somewhat resentment of Seto for being so rude, egotistical and obsessed with beating Yugi. He says Seto has changed and he wants the old Seto back, the one that would smile. While always seeing Yugi put himself last, even losing a duel to a rival, to protect his friends. He even kinda yelled at Seto in one episode asking him if he was going to help them,, and went against Seto somewhat couple times to help the group himself.. If something did happen to Seto, or he helped bring things to be the way it was, might have made him realize how much he needed to pass down yugis beliefs and morals. Plus that would explain him changing his name as well, not wanting to be linked to Seto. Plus in flashbacks Seto not towering over him, but height dif average for older brother. But later Seto 6ft, and mokuba only grew what looked like about 6 or 7 inches. That would explain the shortness dilemma I've seen mentioned on here. And lastly, he did have the blue eyes white dragon. I don't see Yugi taking that over his dm. That was the major thing that kept me from 100% agreeing it's Yugi. I guess he might have wanted to put him in a human type figure. The other two reasons I have a small doubt are the eye color, and the fact he evidently lost to someone that Yugi wouldn't have lost to. (From the comments, like I said, haven't watched that far yet.) So I could see it being Mokuba because of those, but could also see it being Yugi. I mean there were shadow games in gx, and not with the millennium items. Maybe in DSOD, the Pharoah could have warned Yugi about what's to come, told him what to do or where to get something like the millennium item. Then Yugi could of used it himself or taught Mokuba. I hope it is Yugi, but hate thinking of him losing to someone he would have stomped in his younger years. Those are the only 2 from original series that seem plausible. And like I said, there's way to many obvious connections to duel monsters, particularly Yugi, and also Seto. But Setos height def excludes him. Yugi didn't get that much taller, to not be explained by the effects of aging. Also in that time period why is he so hard-core into Yugis error of cards and moral outlooks towards the cards and the game. I know that's long response, just wanted to explain my side. Thx
Great theory, I love it! I actually had the same theory I while back, but never really expanded on it... That being said however, I think that Roku isn't actually Yugi, just a huge fan. If your timeline is correct, he would have grown up during Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, and of course be deeply impressed by all of the duelists, especially Yugi. And hey, maybe he even met Yugi once and Yugi gave him the Black Luster Soldier card, and that's why it's his ace monster. I still prefer your theory, this is just an alternative.
11:03 One thing I would like to mention, Black Luster Soldier is not a mere coincidence. In GX, Black Luster Soldier was stated to be extremely rare (almost as a myth, like the Egyptian Gods), and Yugi apparently has the only copy. Also, the GX version of his deck (that Dimitri uses) was apparently made to match the TCG, so that's why BLS Envoy was used, instead of the original BLS, and also Dark Magician of Chaos (instead of Magician of Black Chaos).
Another point regarding putting the duelist in the shoes of the monster can be seen in the Duelist Kingdom art in Duel Monsters. When Yami/Yugi duels against Yami Bakura, Bakura puts Yugi & Co. into the through their favorite cards. Yugi being put in the shoes of the Dark Magician probably helped show him how his monsters felt during battle, and helped shape his philosophy regarding the Duel spirits.
Just start Yugi 7, return to Domino City with our favorite characters from DM. The millennium items are released unknown to us, 10 years after DM ends. A power hungry human, plans on ruling earth. Yugi duels as yugi and has a mental connection with Atem. Not the puzzle connection. Joey and Mai are married. And yeah Haha I can dream
Could it work if Yugi (non Atem) gained some magic powers after the events of Dm can't he have got like that body pull in ep11 or 12 on dm he pulled Bakura evil spirt into a monster something that Roku did but with Yuma to his ace also wouldn't dark magician/Black magician be his ace
I think it's mokuba, moku/roku. Being the youngest of the group he probably missed all of his friends after they all got old and passed away so he wanted to maintain their legacy. The atem stimulations that Kaiba made also might of taught him some valuable lessons.
With roku putting Yuma's soul in the dark magician, the only way you could do that is with a millennium item, as we see done in season one of yugioh when bakura makes everyone there favorite card
they have so many similarities its crazy and thats what i also thought when i watched him duel in the series but i thought of roku being somewhat a close person to yugi in the past before he passed away eventually rather than roku actually being yugi
This is a very interesting theory!! I tend to agree on the Black Luster Soldier. It's WAY too much of a coincidence that they would give such a powerful and prominent monster to a side character. Things like that can't just be done at random. There was a reason they gave him Black Luster Soldier in that scene. Also, I couldn't help but laugh along with you at that spoof of Game Theory's outro!! It was great!!
Fusion monsters are used throughout yugis timeline from blue eyes ultimate dragon to black skull dragon to thousand dragon to the dark paladin etc GX didn't add a new mechanic it revamped it
One question in the movie Yu-Gi-Oh! Bond Beyond Time yugi was dueling paradox but yugi is duel with jaden and yuesi and in your timeline zexal is spread with 5ds so if this is yugi would he remember yuesi at least and in the statue there was no synchro monsters but yugi say a synchro monsters so answer that.
Something you didn't point out about the first time Yuma and Roku faced off was the similarities it shared to the first duel between Yami Bakura and Yami Yugi. Yugi proper was embodying the dark magician card and was made to feel the fear and uncertainty of the monster by being on the field himself. This is exactly what Roku does to Yuma; even putting him into the dark magician's body and everything, making his spirit companion have to handle things from outside the action. While I'm not sure if this would actually be Yugi himself or simply some successor of his', Roku's connection to him can't be denied, especially the attention to detail to the specificities in Yugi's experience when dueling with others.
When Yuma is in the body of Dark Magician it could be a reference to Mahad where he sacrifices himself to fuse with his spirit monster Illusion Magician to become the Dark Magician to defeat Yami Bakura.
Your theory dosn't work. how do you explain it when zexal and arc v are each in totally different universe's? "Yugi appears in the first episode and last three episodes of GX. He also appears in the movie Bonds Beyond Time, which is canon in 5D's (Z-one stated that he was the one who sent Paradox back in time.)
@@asmylia9880 nope because yugi still look like yugi when he let the puzzle,and he is clearly looking like atem in gx,so we can say that a 40s year old yugi look premetto much just like regular yugi
Great video but I can't help myself seeing Yuma duels reminds me of Dragon ball Saiyan saga because that thing they use for dueling is a little bit similar to scouter.
But Yugi would know about Stardust Dragon because of BBT, so it doesnt make sense that he would carve legendary monsters from the DM-GX eras and not touch Stardust.
Eh...yes and no since BBT could be considered a different timeline split off from the main timeline. It is also possible the affects of time travel could have made him forget. Yugi in GX should have remembered seeing Jaden prior as well since he fought him. (would say he gave him winged kuriboh, but it's hard to tell if that was Older Yugi in the first episode or Yami- he didn't have the puzzle around his neck, but in the dub it was Dan's Yami voice). I'm not saying your wrong or right, but there are different possibilities. Then again Konami is never really consent with the anime.
Declan McKenna For me I'd say 5ds(Second half of the world grand prix) and ZeXaL happened at the same time but due to synchros being more popular, Xyz Summoning never stuck which caused Z-ONE's future. But the episode of ZeXaL may have happened during the WRPG or the preparation of the event which would explain why Stardust Dragon wasn't a stone monster, some people maybe have believed Yusei wasn't well known at the moment yet.
Yes but arch and sexual take place in different timelines where any set of events could have happened differently so there goes you whole fucking comment
Perhaps he changed his name and went into seclusion after the death of Kaiba as your timeline theory suggests. Guilt or remorse of being unable to save him or something
That was awesome! Especially because in my mind at least Zexal has the losest connections to all the other adventures we know of. This callback to the beginning manifests a continous interest in Yugioh. :D (I would REALLY like to see the older versions of everyone we know and love from the first trilogy. :3)
I think there was a very similar theory when zexal was still running and very early on. It’s still a very good theory! Arcana Knight Joker is also a Yugi card, however that one appears in the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga.
I don't think Bastion ever Fusion Summoned, neither did most/all of the shadow riders.... and neither Zone nor Aproia (nor any of Aporia's fragments) preformed Synchro.
I completely forgot about Zone/Aporia, especially since there whole goal was to destroy synchros xD And actually a good amount of characters in GX didnt use fusions, I just cant think on the spot for the life of me
Yeah, but at the same time, GX didn't introduce a new summoning method. They just decided to emphasize fusion an follow the rules. As for Aporia/Z-One, maybe they don't use Synchros cuz they will be affected by the abilities of anti-synchro effects from their other cards. I dunno too much about the anime effects of the Meklords or Timelords, though.
Apperently.... There were more that also didn't use Synchros that I didn't mention as well. Such as Bolt Tanner, Carly and Misty. But in Zexal it sure did seem like everyone and there mother had an Xyz monster for there ace.
Hunter Pace, Team Catastrophe and the Zushin Team (forgot their name) also didn't Synchro. Kagemaru, Saiou, Mizuchi, Jesse, O'Brien, Fujiwara, and Darkness didn't Fusion either. In Zexal though it is very difficult to find someone who didn't XYZ summon. Usually the ones that didn't are one off opponents anyway.
To counter your point about the egyptian gods: if I recall correctly when introduced in duel monsters it was stated that trying to draw those cards had a lot of casualties in Industrial Illusions, and only Pegasus was able to draw them. So I guess carving a statue of Ra would not be so simple as you make it sound..
I’ve seen ALOT of you guys say that Roku may also be Yugis son/disciple/student, which I also can completely see! I think there is definitely a connection between those two, maybe it’s not as strong as them being the same person, but to me it’s more than just a coincidence! :)

Holy shit u have a point lol imagine it’s him but I thinks it yugi
In yugioh dsod ,
Yugi is taller xD
But in Yugioh GX,
Yugi is taller and has Yami Yugi voice. But cannot see his eyes
Champ ThePhantomThief he looks like Atem I mean its 10 years
Champ ThePhantomThief it’s normal some people get somewhat shorter when they are really old
@@Deathmare235 If he was 16 and 10 years later, he looks like a old man and he's 26???
7:49 duel monsters had fusion too, Gx didn’t add that.
yeah but GX was much more into Fusion summons than the original series
@@axaros007 Blame the HERO Decks
Had to make sure someone else caught that
Ok fine fusion that actually followed the rules
True thea used polarmaryzation
Question: if you believe this to be true, does that mean for you that Yugi would not be in the 5ds timeline? Or just that there are two different yugis in the different timelines.
I think there would be two different Yugis! They are basically two timelines and universes that run parallel to each other. The only major difference is that something happened to Seto Kaiba in the Zexal one! Hence why there is no Kaiba Corp
Yugioh Everything awesome. Thanks for responding. I figured that would be the case, I don't study multiverse theory, lol. Still trying to figure out the other characters in arc v. Gotta rewatch your video about that. :)
It all happened when zorc was defeated it created a new timeline in wich yugi has no millenium puzzle so his wih for inding friends does not come true so kaiba does not hear about the rare card of yugi's grandpa as a result he never loses to yugi/atem. And after that he is killed by pegasus so we have kc.Yugi having no friends an being bulied decides to go somewhere that he can not be found
Yugioh Everything what do u thing?
killer Duck he did talk about that a little bit in other videos, but I can answer that. He travelled back in time, even when a timeline splits, traveling back in time would still go back before a timeline splits. It's just going across timelines requires interdimensional travel as opposed to time travel.
This totally blows my mind! I really appreciate all the cannon research you do for every one of your theories and videos. I was wondering, if you would be interested in looking into the theory that Mokuba Kaiba is Yusei Fudo's father?
What if instead of another, Yugi.. It's another Atem/Yami possession?
The dragons and warriors theme was always the Pharaoh's theme... not Yugi's.
Roku is obviously somebody else, perhaps some kid that grew up watching duelist kingdom matches and thats the end of it, he looks nothing and 100% nothing like Yugi, the nose is wrong, the face shape is way off and the iconic hair...Yugi would look much closer to Grandpa
He´s probably just Yugi´s son, student, or just a fan
This is a fantastic theory 😉
The only problem I have with this theory is why Yugi would change his deck and the fact that he lost badly in Zexals final season (if he was Yugi he would've won)
Yugi isn't the main protagonist In zexal so the protagonist Rule won't follow for him
But it he was Yugi he should have lost to Mizael who's second strongest barian
I just commented on your timeline theory like 20 minutes before you posted this. It's destiny!!!
Thats insane! Especially because I only do like 2-3 theory videos every year xD
Yugioh Everything I know!!! It's crazy!!! Thanks for commenting to me!!! You have the best yugioh videos on UA-cam. You go super in depth like I do in real life too. You are awesome and I watch every video.
Christopher Bouska *Edo and Saiyou screaming in the background*
ULGROTHA *Yami and Ishizu join in in the screaming*
Christopher Bouska Stop following me Chris, lol
This is ridiculous. Roku doesn't have Yugi's eyes (innocent, round, purple). So it can't be him
Dylan: Roku is the only one who uses fusion in Zexal.
Me: There is another.
Who?
@@asphirron in the episode where the number controls the photographist kid, one of the duelists he defeats uses at least polymerisation. on the ground you see them and why include polymerization if you can't use it.
L8Head kaito used fusion against shark
@@farhandewan2645 oh yeah
Kite...
Plot twist the real identity of Roku is actually none other than Mokuba!
Thats one possible answer.
Yugi is more closer to Mokuba than his brother Seto, so maybe Yugi passed some of his cards along with Seto's including the facts and info about the millenium items and ancient egypt
It isn’t to hard to believe that someone was recording the final duel of darkside of dimensions an so knew yugi saved the world and leaked the footage forcing yugi to change his name
P.S. there is a theory that yugi is the modern reincarnation of Atem
Nicknock Play's and reviews but he was okay in GX?
Yugi is the modern reincarnation of Atem, that's not a theory. Same goes for Priest/Pharaoh Seto -> Seto Kaiba, Priest Shada -> Shadi, and Isis -> Ishizu, among others.
Theory? Isn't that littered all over the show? Yugi is Atem from our time. He is descended from him. Same has Seto and his ancient self.
I definitely agree that Roku and Yugi are connected in some way. (He looks like grandpa Muto.) BUT, Not technically related, since I've seen your OG timeline video, but pause the video at 11:28 and look closely at the jacket of the enemy. There are a few things I notice: 1. it's like the antagonists of the first season of 5Ds. 2. The birdlike design of the jacket seems similar to Crow. 3. (Not at the timestamp) Chaos' eyes are heterochromatic, which is what happens to Judai (Jaden in the ENG Dub) when he obtains the cool power.
Just something I found interesting. Thanks for your videos. I know I'm late to the party.
this theory does make a lot of sense you made some really interesting points during the video and I could see yugi eventually growing up to be like Roku in terms of personality
I've got a theory for you. What would happen if Yugi lost the final battle (the one with Atem)? Would he (Atem) live like a normal people with yugi or be like his bigger brother (because Yugi means a lot for Atem and Atem for Yugi) ? Would Yugi take he's Muleniam Puzzle back and live like before? What do you think? Should this be a theory???
Elena Neagu I think they would have just moved forward. Stem still kickin it in the puzzle then coming out when needed or when Yugi would let him walk in around in public. This would continue until Yugi finally beat him.
Yugi it was you all along. Sneaky bastard.
xD It's just a theory! But yeah you never know
Uh... Roku Misawa. Bastion Misawa. COEINCIDENCE...😑 I'll let you be the Judge of that.
I mean he would be around 78/79
Well he would be 68/69 from his adjusted timeline
But why would bastion have black luster solder one of yugi moto's signature cards!? IT MAKES NO SENSE! yeah the names are the same but there are no other similarities between them whatsoever their decks are completely different and one is clearly better than the other (it's roku seeing as he defeated the main character twice and is shown to have hold his own against a barian emperor granted he still lost ,but bastion wouldn't even last one turn against girag so...)
What's a bastion sounds like a character from yugioh gx who was a important character but also a useless forgettable character and was also kind of annoying and always said how smart he was even though he sucked and the only reason he never made it to obelisk because he decided that the only way he would is if the beat Judai even though he's the main character so we all know that never would've happened.
Ehh I could be wrong
Misael Is Cool Bastion never sucked they just dropped him
Yugi would never lost that majestic hair of his so theory busted.......Hahahahaha
Now for real nice theory, great points. Keep the good work!
xD xD Thanks Marco!
Either He is Yugi, or he is yugi's son.............Anyway that would finally make ZEXAL canon to the other tmain timeline....and leave ARC-V as its own alternate Universe where Zarc fucked things up.
That just leaves VRAINS.................uhmmm eh tthats for another day
The ending of Zexal foreshadowed Arc-V
What are the odds we get an evil old bitter Yugi to be the main villain of a series? Fingers crossed.
HAHA yo that would be amazing
Yugi is to pure of a character to be evil as he was able to not be controlled by the seal of orichalchos so the odds are very low
Jessie Ward yugi is long dead by the time VRains came out
Kaiba would make more sense as an old, bitter person.
jaylon lackey these people are blind
It's more likely a descendant, that line that Yugi said in season 1 was passed down to him by his grandfather.
Also consider this, Roku looks similar to Yugi's Grandpa. Also what's Grandpa's real name? SugoROKU Motou / Solomon Motou
Thats true! They do look very similar, same height it seems
Kawaii Desu Perhaps Grandpa Mutou for some reason has a long life span or maybe he's a spirit himself remember he's the modern day reincarnation of one of Atem's Priest who once possessed the Millennium Key there has to be some theory about that
He’s like braveheart
BOOM! HE ISN'T YUGI
But Yugi never loses if he was that old he would have been extremely op and would need cards that support his dark magicians
It makes sense that he looks like grandpa, because its family. When yugi became older he just has a lot common to his grandpa.
C'mon Dylan. We all know Roku is a Past Avatar.
Joking aside, this seems plausible.
HAHA yeah you are probably right xD
Yugi wouldn't be able to go into shadow realm or put people's spirits into monsters without the puzzle, so as fun as this theory is, I don't think it's true
Well who do u think has the puzzle, or other millennium item, that did it? Even if advanced tech transported him into the dm, what took them to the shadow realm or whatever realm they were in? I haven't watched this series yet, but seems to be too many obvious comparison to not be connected to someone from duel monsters. Seto, way too tall. Maybe Mokuba, he seemed to really admire and respect Yugi's way of handling situations. He even went to Yugi for help on multiple occasions, not too mention that he had a somewhat resentment of Seto for being so rude, egotistical and obsessed with beating Yugi. He says Seto has changed and he wants the old Seto back, the one that would smile. While always seeing Yugi put himself last, even losing a duel to a rival, to protect his friends. He even kinda yelled at Seto in one episode asking him if he was going to help them,, and went against Seto somewhat couple times to help the group himself.. If something did happen to Seto, or he helped bring things to be the way it was, might have made him realize how much he needed to pass down yugis beliefs and morals. Plus that would explain him changing his name as well, not wanting to be linked to Seto. Plus in flashbacks Seto not towering over him, but height dif average for older brother. But later Seto 6ft, and mokuba only grew what looked like about 6 or 7 inches. That would explain the shortness dilemma I've seen mentioned on here. And lastly, he did have the blue eyes white dragon. I don't see Yugi taking that over his dm. That was the major thing that kept me from 100% agreeing it's Yugi. I guess he might have wanted to put him in a human type figure. The other two reasons I have a small doubt are the eye color, and the fact he evidently lost to someone that Yugi wouldn't have lost to. (From the comments, like I said, haven't watched that far yet.) So I could see it being Mokuba because of those, but could also see it being Yugi. I mean there were shadow games in gx, and not with the millennium items. Maybe in DSOD, the Pharoah could have warned Yugi about what's to come, told him what to do or where to get something like the millennium item. Then Yugi could of used it himself or taught Mokuba.
I hope it is Yugi, but hate thinking of him losing to someone he would have stomped in his younger years.
Those are the only 2 from original series that seem plausible. And like I said, there's way to many obvious connections to duel monsters, particularly Yugi, and also Seto. But Setos height def excludes him. Yugi didn't get that much taller, to not be explained by the effects of aging. Also in that time period why is he so hard-core into Yugis error of cards and moral outlooks towards the cards and the game.
I know that's long response, just wanted to explain my side. Thx
Great theory, I love it! I actually had the same theory I while back, but never really expanded on it... That being said however, I think that Roku isn't actually Yugi, just a huge fan. If your timeline is correct, he would have grown up during Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, and of course be deeply impressed by all of the duelists, especially Yugi. And hey, maybe he even met Yugi once and Yugi gave him the Black Luster Soldier card, and that's why it's his ace monster. I still prefer your theory, this is just an alternative.
11:03 One thing I would like to mention, Black Luster Soldier is not a mere coincidence. In GX, Black Luster Soldier was stated to be extremely rare (almost as a myth, like the Egyptian Gods), and Yugi apparently has the only copy. Also, the GX version of his deck (that Dimitri uses) was apparently made to match the TCG, so that's why BLS Envoy was used, instead of the original BLS, and also Dark Magician of Chaos (instead of Magician of Black Chaos).
Thank you! Yes I think to write it off as a mere coincidence would be a bit incorrect!
Also, I think Roku's full name Rokujuro could indicate that he is 66 years old.
If Roku is truly Yugi, he's probably around 90+.
In one timeline theory
DM happened in 2000s and Zexal iz 1200 years after, then If Roku is Yugi,he is already 1216 years old🤣🤣
Another point regarding putting the duelist in the shoes of the monster can be seen in the Duelist Kingdom art in Duel Monsters. When Yami/Yugi duels against Yami Bakura, Bakura puts Yugi & Co. into the through their favorite cards. Yugi being put in the shoes of the Dark Magician probably helped show him how his monsters felt during battle, and helped shape his philosophy regarding the Duel spirits.
7:49 Fusions weren't a new summoning method.
Just start Yugi 7, return to Domino City with our favorite characters from DM. The millennium items are released unknown to us, 10 years after DM ends. A power hungry human, plans on ruling earth. Yugi duels as yugi and has a mental connection with Atem. Not the puzzle connection. Joey and Mai are married. And yeah Haha I can dream
Yugi's hair were so heavy they fell off when he grew older
There's no way Yugi lived that long. Zexal is like 200 years into the future from the events of Duel Monsters.
Could it work if Yugi (non Atem) gained some magic powers after the events of Dm can't he have got like that body pull in ep11 or 12 on dm he pulled Bakura evil spirt into a monster something that Roku did but with Yuma to his ace also wouldn't dark magician/Black magician be his ace
I think it's mokuba, moku/roku. Being the youngest of the group he probably missed all of his friends after they all got old and passed away so he wanted to maintain their legacy. The atem stimulations that Kaiba made also might of taught him some valuable lessons.
Atem goes crazy and posses everyone now EVERYONE IS YUGI-OH XD
With roku putting Yuma's soul in the dark magician, the only way you could do that is with a millennium item, as we see done in season one of yugioh when bakura makes everyone there favorite card
they have so many similarities its crazy and thats what i also thought when i watched him duel in the series but i thought of roku being somewhat a close person to yugi in the past before he passed away eventually rather than roku actually being yugi
This is a very interesting theory!! I tend to agree on the Black Luster Soldier. It's WAY too much of a coincidence that they would give such a powerful and prominent monster to a side character. Things like that can't just be done at random. There was a reason they gave him Black Luster Soldier in that scene.
Also, I couldn't help but laugh along with you at that spoof of Game Theory's outro!! It was great!!
8:10 yugioh gx did not introduce fusion bc one of kaiba main card is a fusion,yugi summoned a bunch of fusion monsters in battle city
Besides from Dark Paladin, I don't remember another fusion being summoned by Yugi in that arc.
Johan Urdiales he summoned chimera.
Fusion monsters are used throughout yugis timeline from blue eyes ultimate dragon to black skull dragon to thousand dragon to the dark paladin etc GX didn't add a new mechanic it revamped it
One question in the movie Yu-Gi-Oh! Bond Beyond Time yugi was dueling paradox but yugi is duel with jaden and yuesi and in your timeline zexal is spread with 5ds so if this is yugi would he remember yuesi at least and in the statue there was no synchro monsters but yugi say a synchro monsters so answer that.
Love your videos there surprisingly relaxing to listen to and your voice sounds great to well done 😍😁😇
Fun fact: Roku shares the same last name as Bastion (Misawa), so maybe some relation him
if roku would have kuriboh i would say that he is yugi quz yugi was the first of multiple protaganists to run kuriboh but this is a fun theory
Something you didn't point out about the first time Yuma and Roku faced off was the similarities it shared to the first duel between Yami Bakura and Yami Yugi. Yugi proper was embodying the dark magician card and was made to feel the fear and uncertainty of the monster by being on the field himself. This is exactly what Roku does to Yuma; even putting him into the dark magician's body and everything, making his spirit companion have to handle things from outside the action. While I'm not sure if this would actually be Yugi himself or simply some successor of his', Roku's connection to him can't be denied, especially the attention to detail to the specificities in Yugi's experience when dueling with others.
Fools. Roku is obviously Tristan.
Then why didn't he snap Girag's neck with his mind.
L8Head haha, good one
@@Dojoslayer Thanks
Daniel Johnston if you watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged you’ll understand
he even played the Arkana Knight Joker, a card that Yugi played in the Yugioh R manga. Wonder if he has Gorz in his deck, lol
blue eyes ultimate dragon was also used in gx for judai to overcome his fears as i recall,even if its not really related this topic :D
Thats a great point! Kaiba did it in GX, Yugi did it in Zexal ;) xD
When Yuma is in the body of Dark Magician it could be a reference to Mahad where he sacrifices himself to fuse with his spirit monster Illusion Magician to become the Dark Magician to defeat Yami Bakura.
He's also vertically challenged
Luckero you mean short
Your theory dosn't work. how do you explain it when zexal and arc v are each in totally different universe's?
"Yugi appears in the first episode and last three episodes of GX. He also appears in the movie Bonds Beyond Time, which is canon in 5D's (Z-one stated that he was the one who sent Paradox back in time.)
'Decent amount of evidence' *cough* Kaiba is the real villain of Arc V *cough*
How could it be a older yugi when Pegasus and so on have been seen in the series i'd say only a few years had passed from after the last. Tournament
13:06 But hey!
That's just a reference...
a GT reference !!!!!
thanks for watching XD
Yugioh Everything, where do you watch the subbed videos? Idk where to find good and safe sites. Can you help a fan out??
But "grandpa" in the English dub looks almost exactly like yugi because genetics but how would "yugi" not look like yugi
Maybe the longtime side effects of using the millennium puzzle which somehow affected his genetics?
@@asmylia9880 nope because yugi still look like yugi when he let the puzzle,and he is clearly looking like atem in gx,so we can say that a 40s year old yugi look premetto much just like regular yugi
On another note, I had no idea that Dio was in Yugioh. (Arcana)
Remember that episode when Bukhara trapped yugi in side of his dark magican btw if the spelling was wrong i was rushing this comment
I don't remember him ever being trapped on the Dark Magician Girl, but the Dark Magician
What if he’s Yugi’s kid?
4:07 Woah woah woah...slifer has freaking legs???!!!
Small ones😂
Wait... it does????
Great video but I can't help myself seeing Yuma duels reminds me of Dragon ball Saiyan saga because that thing they use for dueling is a little bit similar to scouter.
But Yugi would know about Stardust Dragon because of BBT, so it doesnt make sense that he would carve legendary monsters from the DM-GX eras and not touch Stardust.
Eh...yes and no since BBT could be considered a different timeline split off from the main timeline. It is also possible the affects of time travel could have made him forget. Yugi in GX should have remembered seeing Jaden prior as well since he fought him. (would say he gave him winged kuriboh, but it's hard to tell if that was Older Yugi in the first episode or Yami- he didn't have the puzzle around his neck, but in the dub it was Dan's Yami voice). I'm not saying your wrong or right, but there are different possibilities. Then again Konami is never really consent with the anime.
Luckygirl too fucking bad they said its canon so there goes your entire comment
Declan McKenna For me I'd say 5ds(Second half of the world grand prix) and ZeXaL happened at the same time but due to synchros being more popular, Xyz Summoning never stuck which caused Z-ONE's future. But the episode of ZeXaL may have happened during the WRPG or the preparation of the event which would explain why Stardust Dragon wasn't a stone monster, some people maybe have believed Yusei wasn't well known at the moment yet.
Yes but arch and sexual take place in different timelines where any set of events could have happened differently so there goes you whole fucking comment
Perhaps he changed his name and went into seclusion after the death of Kaiba as your timeline theory suggests. Guilt
or remorse of being unable to save him or something
Gx brout arch Type monsters on duel monster had fusion already
GX introduced a new type of fusion, the contact fusion
@@jacobnelson4150 contact fusion is already in dm
Seto kaiba xyz dragon cannon
That was awesome! Especially because in my mind at least Zexal has the losest connections to all the other adventures we know of. This callback to the beginning manifests a continous interest in Yugioh. :D
(I would REALLY like to see the older versions of everyone we know and love from the first trilogy. :3)
Actually roku isn't yugi kasuki Takahashi himself confirmed this to me when I asked him at comic con
Welp
Can you prove this
I mean wasn’t the pharo Atem similar to yugi in terms of looks so wouldn’t roku look like Atem since yugi was Atems reincarnation
3 minutes later: copyright strike from game theory
And that's a theory, A UA-cam THEORY!
Konami needs to make an official statement on this, like yesterday.
I think there was a very similar theory when zexal was still running and very early on. It’s still a very good theory!
Arcana Knight Joker is also a Yugi card, however that one appears in the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga.
There’s also that his disciple is....Yamikawa.
Thats true! So even that fusion monster is a card both of them have used
How come it says YUGIMUTO
On the thumbnail
I think roku is the son of Tea and Yugi
Maybe
Oh god please no
Shit
*Rebecca Hawkins has left the chat*
Well. This left me speechless. You had me believing this theory by half way through the video.
Not true when ever Yugi believed in the heart of the cards he never lost
Anyone know the song at the end? I know it's a yugioh song I just don't remember from where
I don't think Bastion ever Fusion Summoned, neither did most/all of the shadow riders.... and neither Zone nor Aproia (nor any of Aporia's fragments) preformed Synchro.
I completely forgot about Zone/Aporia, especially since there whole goal was to destroy synchros xD And actually a good amount of characters in GX didnt use fusions, I just cant think on the spot for the life of me
Yeah, but at the same time, GX didn't introduce a new summoning method. They just decided to emphasize fusion an follow the rules. As for Aporia/Z-One, maybe they don't use Synchros cuz they will be affected by the abilities of anti-synchro effects from their other cards. I dunno too much about the anime effects of the Meklords or Timelords, though.
Apperently.... There were more that also didn't use Synchros that I didn't mention as well. Such as Bolt Tanner, Carly and Misty. But in Zexal it sure did seem like everyone and there mother had an Xyz monster for there ace.
Hunter Pace, Team Catastrophe and the Zushin Team (forgot their name) also didn't Synchro. Kagemaru, Saiou, Mizuchi, Jesse, O'Brien, Fujiwara, and Darkness didn't Fusion either.
In Zexal though it is very difficult to find someone who didn't XYZ summon. Usually the ones that didn't are one off opponents anyway.
Aporia as well as Yeager(Lazar) don't count because they both played anti syncro dekcs. Zone on the other hand counts
To counter your point about the egyptian gods: if I recall correctly when introduced in duel monsters it was stated that trying to draw those cards had a lot of casualties in Industrial Illusions, and only Pegasus was able to draw them. So I guess carving a statue of Ra would not be so simple as you make it sound..
