I think Andre from Team Unicorn should've appeared on the list. He took off 10,000 LP from Team 5Ds by himself, and no-resulted against Yusei when he was rapidly approaching invincibility levels.
For the record, while Andre is a skilled duelist, his 10,000 life point feat is mainly due to tricking team 5ds into using Jack first and countering his style of dueling, coupled with Aki's inexperience with turbo dueling, and using the rules of dueling as a team in the grand prix to his advantage. You could even argue that he technically lost to Yusei, even if it was deliberate.
@@StareachValcin still doesnt change the fact that he beats jack easily 1v1. Its not like Jack has multiple decks he changes based on who he duels. Imo Andre is better than every single person who had appeared in the show up to that point, although you can argue characters like Jack and Yusei got better than him later. He deserved to be on this list, and the fact that he isnt shows this thing was made in a rush
he's also a great strategist. like against aki he was thinking about what to do, and immediately had a new well prepped tactic based on his good topdeck for the moment, and later on.
I don't agree with this, I mean they did startigize well, but I kinda do wish Yusei lost a 2nd time in that duel. I say their win was deserved, and it was not even a single Elim tourney since team Unicorn goes to a losers bracket etc. Just imo would have been better writing I understand though, also now. I don't like Aki as duelist she's cute and probably the best girl duelist from the 4 series (Ghost girl lost every duel as well, but she was a formidle duelist. Sorry spoilers) but yeah 100% Aki should be lower.
Shoutout to the editor for this really good edit for Dyl’s channel. Really refreshing style, and I love the incorporation of memes and reaction faces. I think my only criticism is that it kinda reverts to becoming a clip show midway through, but I understand this style of rapid pace, in-your-face style edit is difficult to sustain for a longer video like this one. Perhaps it’d work better for something less than 10 (maybe even 5) minutes. Overall, I like it. Hope to see more from them in the future.
I'm honestly surprised Halldor/Harald wasnt on this list espesically since he should be stronger than Broder/Brave who dueled Crow equally and Dragan who could have actually beaten Jack but let him win, while Halldor himself actaully held his own against Yusei.
Jack actually could have countered the way Dragan would have won even if he played it. Also Halldor started with two immortal god cards and Yusei started with nothing, Yusei could have easily beaten Halldor if it was one on one.
How the hell was Andre (Andore) from Team Unicorn NOT on this list!? He literally beat Jack and Crow and it took a ridiculous effort by Yusei to finally take him out. He was shown to be highly skilled and would easily bump Lua off of this list.
@@namelessanonymous2913 I think it’s basically thinly of the perfect combo that you can make in the moment, we kinda get an idea of the ability when we get those scenes of Yusei going over a play he’s about to do in his head.
The only reason he beat Akiza was plot armor and everyone knows it. She was robbed a win to make Yusei look better. The Queen and Prince of Yugioh deserved better. (Sorry Yusei, but Atem will ALWAYS be the King and Seto Kaiba is the High Priest.)
Props to the editor fr. When I clicked on this video I wasn't expecting this level of editing with the cropped Dyl reactions nor the memes. In my eyes, this is a big improvement for an otherwise simple (not at all bad ofc) channel. Major W fr fr 💯
The editing was amazing and hilarious. (Bruno was done wrong by that foolish burial meme) I love the detail of adding each characters' Duel Links theme to them during Dylan's explanation.
It is so much harder to rank everyone in 5Ds compared to every other Yugioh show cause of how many of them are on the same level of too tier. I think Yusei is safely number 1 but after that, it is really hard to decide. Just from the main group alone I would have trouble ranking Aki, Crow and Jack. But then there are so many other chars like Kiryu, Aporia, Antinomy, Zone, so many who participated in WRGP etc. I feel like many of those could go either way.
Given how well Antimony did against late game Yusei, I would rank him as relative to Yusei and in the same ballpark as Jack Dark Signer Kiryu vs Crow Hogan would've been an amazing imo Oh yeah, Andre should be really high on this list, defeated Jack and Crow with relative ease Mmmm, yeah, I'm not confident that Jack would beat Z-one. It's probably possible, but I definitely think Z-one is favored in that matchup The editor needs a raise; they are making some BANGER edits
It’s actually pretty crazy in hindsight how many duels Yusei nearly lost. Kiryu would’ve beat him if his Duel Runner didn’t fail, Sherry could’ve beat him depending on the next card she drew, Antinomy would’ve beat him in their first duel if he’d gone all out, and Andre (I think that was his name) from Team Unicorn literally would’ve beat him if Yusei hadn’t psyched him out and he’d just ended his turn.
Yusei did lose he lost to Kalin and got out duel by him and Jack beat him in a flashback which is why Yusei wanted his stardust dragon back from him Sherry may or may not have won we honestly don’t know who would of won that duel just like the Yugi Jaden duel and Bruno/Antinomy wasn’t going to go all out on yusei he knew that yusei was the only one able to save everyone so to say that he would of beat Yusei is really stupid beating him wouldn’t have taught and shown Yusei how to accel synchro summon
To be fair , Crow threw the duel to make Lyndon (the clock guy) look good in front of his mother by refusing to activate his Mirror Force I was shocked as well to be fair 😃😃
3:20 Eyyyy it's Ageha!! Without doubt Aki and Ageha are the two best girls in all of Yugioh! I really want an anime adaptation of the OCG Structures Manga now xD
I was wondering if you could do ten duels that almost happened and didn’t happen (if this is possible) and what you think might’ve happened - for example Asuka was going to duel Edo but Judai has his rematch instead and Asuka never duelled Edo after this point.
That duel Yusei had in The Facility against Armstrong could be used on its own to demonstrate how strong of a duellist he is Not only did he duel with a deck of thrown together cards , his opponent made him discard many of them and he still won Side note , while I agree that Jack Atlas could potentially defeat Z-ONE (which to me would be an outside shot) , I think Akiza could potentially if off of a lucky move 😃😃
I recently watched the final arc of Vrains for the first time and loved Ai to death. Cant wait to see where he places when you get to Vrains. I'm predicting either #2 or #3
I'll do my own top 10 Zexal rating in advance: 10. Quinton 9. Quattro 8. Tron 7. Vector 6. Mizael 5. Astral 4. Kaito 3. Don Thousand 2. Nasch/Shark 1. Yuma
Top 10 strongest Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's duelist 10. Paradox (I dunno if this counts. But BBT is Canon to 5D's so I'm counting him.) 9. Akiza Izinski 8. Kalin Kessler 7. Rex Goodwin 6. Aporia 5. Antinomy/Vizor 4. Crow Hogan 3. Z-ONE 2. Jack Atlas 1. Yusei Fudo
Yeah, zexal top 4 is pretty much fixed because of the winner absorbed the loser rule: 1. End of season Yuma 2. Astral with all numbers 3. "Barian Hope" Shark 4. Don Thousand
number 0, paradox. it took yugi jaden and yusei to defeat him. he was also shown to have malefic versions of other iconic monsters meaning he defeated THOSE duelists too
Loved the editing in this, specially Jack's segment. While Dylan's talking about Jack's dueling ability we see how he went physical when the time called for it
Aki’s summoning of Stardust Dragon vs Team Unicorn was an incredible moment. Also, Andre and Halldor make a great case to be on this list, despite the stiff competition. This was an absolutely loaded top 10
It’s pretty undeniable that Yusei is top tier. In terms of actual power compared to others he’s not really as strong in terms of hax,unlike Jack who got faster regeneration and Aki who was an empowered stand user,at best the crimson dragon gave Yusei a cool tattoo,2 cards and time travel. What truly makes Yusei formidable is his knowledge which allowed him to acquire higher levels of power and speed coupled with a consistent deck with endless combos which made him unbeatable.
@@Deathmare235 I mean power as in exclusive abilities given by magic item’s like Yuma and his Super Saiyan forms letting him make any card or Jack regenerating a broken arm in one day due to his mark or both Yugis willing the cards they need through the puzzle. As explained in the show anyone can accel synchro you need a good engine and some faith as shown by Bruno and Yusei it’s only exclusive to them because they mastered it before everyone else like Master Roshi creating the Kamehameha many years before Son Goku and the others learned it.
@@Deathmare235Limit over accel synchro is a one time thing (combination of all signers). Any of the signers are actually capable of summoning Quasar just because the Crimson dragon can will them to do it (LOAS is not impressive for signers considering context).
For the record, while Andre is a skilled duelist, his 10,000 life point feat is mainly due to tricking team 5ds into using Jack first and countering his style of dueling, coupled with Aki's inexperience with turbo dueling, and using the rules of dueling as a team in the grand prix to his advantage. You could even argue that he technically lost to Yusei, even if it was deliberate.
I always had the feeling that Bruno was holding back against yusei. I felt as though he could have beaten yusei at any point. But had to lose for plot reasons.
He totally was. His duels were lessons for Yusei first and foremost. Also in the second duel it was obvious deep in his heart he wanted to lose so bad. Since he had hope on Yusei changing the future
With Aki, but summoning of Stardust Dragon vs Team Unicorn was an incredible moment. Also, Andre makes a strong case to make it on this list, though lack of appearances hurts him. Halldor too.
I think you did a really great job with the last two lists but I whole heartedly think this list is very very bad. Before I start my rant let me first say that I’m not trying to be mean, just want to give my opinion on the list. First there are duelist that should have definitely appeared evolve some characters Andre from team unicorn Outside of yusei and aporia he is the only duelist who managed to beat 2 or mores signers in the whole of 5ds, that alone is an insane feat since aporia started the duel with 12000 lp and the other duelist is yusei. He whopped the floor with jack who at the time was pretty much undefeated outside of main villain or yusei and his own clone. Then he defeated Aki easily even tho she had stardust and took him by surprise, lastly he still dealt with yusei. In his practice duel with yusei before the tournament he was defeating yusei, yusei who was on the brink of losing came back last second but even then Andre had a face down and yusei was scared that if he activated it he could have easily lost. I whole heartedly believe he would and could have defeated yusei in a 1v1 if team unicorn didn’t try to trap 5ds. He was also noted to 1v3 tournaments after tournaments with every type of deck ( even trap not decks and what not ). Team unicorn also would have defeated team 5ds all because he got rid of everyone except yusei. Sheryl blanc Idk if I need to say much, did insanely good against yusei and had like 3 tries to draw a spell but didn’t, she didn’t draw her last card but honestly deserved and would have probably won ( keep in mind yusei went full force because he was threatened with an explosive in his dwheel ) Also did very good in a 1v2 vs aki and crow who were at the end of the series aka full power. And also single handedly came very far during the tournament 1v3’ing every team she dueled against. Team ragnorok, specifically haldor. While they should have done better imo they still did great, pls owning a god in the anime honestly single handily makes you one of the strongest, dragan would have defeated jack in their original duel and only barely lost because jack acquired scar red nova ( still he was left so weakened he instantly lost the next turn ), border was pretty much joking around with crow until crow managed a last turn comeback to draw. Haldor is the only duelist to have defeated majestic star dragon plus was dominating yusei. Admittedly he still lost deposits starting with 2 gods but you know yusei is insane. Aki above Bruno is honestly an insult, Sure aki has won more but it’s because she dueled more, Bruno would pretty much defeat yusei in their first duel, yusei at the end of the show aka full powered yusei needed a last second comeback. Those duel bots he easily defeated had just easily defeated sherry prior. He also was going toe to toe against placido and looked like he would win if he didn’t crash or something. Plus everyone one from the future is insanely strong. Aki and Ruka have no business being on here, ruka had 1 good win and even then it was a 1v3 and he needed bs plot armor. I in no world see aki coming close to defeating anyone from team 5ds, ragnrorok, new world, unicorn, sherry, kiryu, Bruno, z-one, most of the dark signers and those are only from the top of my head, het best win is against misty or sherry in a 1v2. She isn’t good enough to be on the list and in no world better than Bruno. Jack above z-one is honestly also crazy. Z-one is busted and only yusei with all signers plus quasar plus bs anime luck constantly drawing 6+cards every turn and classic random anime only card that he can never activate in a normal duel ( clustering wishes ) barely managed to beat z-one. In no world does jack beat him and honestly I think aporia in a 1v1, haldor, rex and Bruno have a good shot at winning. I love jack but putting him in second is very crazy. And lastly I think the list lacks narrative, some characters like Bruno are out lower because they don’t have onscreen wins even tho you know they are better than most of the list, some characters like aki are on the list because they atleast have a few wins against very minor characters, some like z-one are put very high because they are obviously broken, some like jack are out in second because you think they are the only one with a chance against another character. And some like ruka have no real good reasoning. What qualifies to be on the list and where is vastly different per character, I mean if you used the reasoning for aki with a character like andre he would be one the list, if you used your reasoning with aporia on Bruno, he would be higher. It’s very difficult to follow a list if everyone is judged differently.
even before the final duel against Yusei, Jack went on a rampage and defeated lots of strong duelists from the show, Sherry and probably her butler at the same time, Kalin, Greigar and probably others just so he can prepare for his duel against Yusei
If we go by power scaling. Yusei isn't just the strogest duelist in 5ds. He's also the strongest duelist in all of the entirety of the first 3 series. Peak Yusei vs Z-one completely eclipses both EOS Atem and Yugi and EOS Judai. And it all comes from Paradox. Mid series Yusei, EOS Judai, and Atem needed to work together to beat Paradox, who should scale to Bruno and Aporia, maybe sronger. And Z-one's supposed to be stronger than ALL 3 of them. So Yusei didn't just match the powers of 3 Protagonists at their peak. He surpassed it more than 3 fold.
True Yusei didn't even learn Accel Synchro when he dueled Paradox and just by him learning Accel Synchro he's essentially stronger than himself pre accel Synchro, Yugi and Jaden combined when you think about it like that
@@Honest_Mids_Masher if we include the mass of promotional content and games to re-contextualize things, and the fact that in the anime continuity the yami yugi he paired with was before the doma arc and that paradox did not know the name atem on top of judai deeming pre-millenium world yugi his strongest opponent and unpredictable, while yusei is extremely powerful yami yugi has already beaten him at a wcs when he could accel synchro and has voicelines where he admits yugi is the king of games whereas if he loses to judai it's treated as him giving up/teetering out which is to say while judai is cursed due to time traveling as his end series self twice, both yusei and yugi have the advantage of future endeavors (aka extra arcs that further enhance their abilities, which is notable in how battle city seto is massively inferior to kc grand championship seto via his comfort facing atem with a god card let-alone three) with gx yugi not being counted since he was already confirmed to be on another adventure of his own throughout most of the gx series note: yusei does have a line for when he defeats atem but it's basically him comparing atem to him in terms of ability so they're more implied to be very comparable 2nd note: i wish they'd talk about how yusei is the turbo duel king in his plethora of game bios, but overall i'm just highlighting how they're constantly being presented in and out of universe, especially considering how both characters are the primary ones promoting new cards when we're in the buffer between series
Jack Atlas story: Not so good -> Get a sponsor and become king of the arena -> Turns out all/most opponents let Jack win for money -> Jack Atlas get a little more humble and put more effort into his duels -> That is pretty much it, he get some new cards along the way and it not some clever trap or use of cards in a new way but rather just new boss monsters that happen to have an effect that come handy in the next duel. But sure if only count their peak performance and results he might belong on the list but below the rest of the gang IMO (below Crow)
I don’t completely agree with your list but good video. Didn’t Z-One change his brain to be Yusei, so he thought the same way Yusei did, and if the only duelist Jack can’t beat is Yusei then I don’t think he can beat Z-one. My personal list would be: 10. Crow 9. Sherry 8. Kiryu 7. Paradox 6. Godwin 5. Antinomy 4. Aporia 3. Jack 2. Z-One 1. Yusei I think you can switch some people around and could consider putting Aki, Andre from team Unicorn, or Harald from Team Ragnarok.
Finally someone who remembers Paradox. What do you think about Lotton lmao I agree with Z-one over Jack but I wouldn’t say he is Yusei. I mean Yusei would have lost to him without unlocking Quasar. He’s more like an alternate Yusei, he ultimately still had his own mind he couldn’t perfectly copy Yusei. Like Yusei said he would never come to the conclusions he did. If Yusei traveled back in time it would be to warn humanity not sacrifice anyone
I would agree with the rest except for the Jack statement. In the last duel Jack dominated Yusei throughout most of the duel forcing him to topdeck 3 times. The Crimson Dragon made Yusei extremely lucky or else Yusei just can’t win aganist Jack w/o the Crimson dragon at this point especially after the timeskip where Jack most likely has Supernova (Supernova -> Blazar).
Tbh all 5ds main villain dueling record was absolutely dog shit. When you look at Vrains Bohman only lost to Playmaker Lightning undefeated Ai 9 wins in a single season also only lost to Playmaker in the finale.
After each top10 it would be cool to have a top100 master duel Yu-Gi-Oh (dm to vrains) I don't think WE Can compare rush duellist with master duellist.
This list is solid, but... 1. Yusei 2. Z-One 3. Aporia 4. Jack 5. Antinomy 6. Andre 7. Sherry 8. Crow 9. Rex Godwin 10. Kiryu Unfortunately, I don't think Aki or Lua are defeating any of these characters one on one.
Solid list but I think you put Andre way too high, as he only beat Aki because of the Speed counter advantage. Would have put Crow lower than Kiryu seeing how he actually beat Yusei and Crow never beat anyone of note by himself. I would put Jack above Aporia because last episode Jack is significantly stronger than Ark Cradle Jack, But there is a good argument for Aporia.
@@TheOtherGuy128 I put Andre that high because he was stated to have won several team tournaments by himself, on top of easily defeating Jack and Aki. Jack could be stronger than Aporia at the end. It's hard to tell, but you might be right. Lastly, I thought that Crow improved enough to surpass Dark Signer Kiryu, but maybe not.
Andre, Halldor and Broder didnt make the list? Are you serious? Kalin should’ve been higher. You should probably stop giving main characters credit because theyre main characters and give credit for actual dueling ability and lore. I could never see Leo or Akiza beating any of the players mentioned except maybe broder and even then it’s a tough out.
Ai probably had the best dueling record in terms of final boss. He had 9 wins in a single season. Then almost beating Playmaker clean in their Ultimate clash.
I disagree with Crow being better than Aki personally in Riding duels you can make somewhat of an argument but Crow wasn't smart enough to figure out Sherry's field spell unlike Aki.
So glad leo got his spotlight he really deserves it also let's be real leo was meant to be a signer so his win was less plot armor than the shot crow got for just having a popular deck after all we saw life stream but not black winged in the crimson dragon scene
Damn. A Duel Of Yami Yugi VS Yusei Would Be Beyond Insane. Yugi Is My Favorite Character Ever. But That's Because I Spent My Entire Childhood Watching The Original. But A Lose To Yusei, I Can Truly See Happening, And I Wouldn't Debate. Yusei Is Basically The Embodiment Of Evolution In Character. I Give Yusei A Perfect 10/10 In Everything. Because Unlike Every Other Main Character, Exept Yugi, Yusei Basically Saved Everyone And Pushed Them In The Right Direction. He Doesn't Believe In Failure, And He Knows And Believes That A Future Where Sacrifice Is Necessary Is Not One That Is Worth Fighting For. He Sees Everyone As Equals, And Shooting Quasar Dragon VS Slifer??? Yes Please🔥🔥🔥
I would go with Yusei Zone Jack Antinomy Kalin Crow Aporia Broder Akiza Taro I understand putting Jack above Zone but I feel Jack doesn't have the consistency needed to reach that Level. With Antinomy I see your argument about not getting to see his ability but I feel that simply possessing the skill needed to push Yusei to that level is telling of his skill. He is also able to perform Delta Accel Synchro which is regarded as a high level technique. Kalin shoots up the rankings for being the only Duelist that was able to defeat Yusei, a character that deserves the title of strongest Duelist in all of Yugioh. Broder was able to beat Jack and tie with Crow when they were both at a level beyond where they were in the Dark Signer arc. Taro might not be the tenth strongest Duelist but I felt he deserved recognition for being able to pull off Zushin.
the whole thing with Leo skill as a duelist is obvious to anyone that pays attention to his duels that he is a good duelist with a lot of potential but the problem Leo has is he is never allowed to show what he can really do in his duels because the stupid writers hold him back and force him to lose all of his duels in stupid ways and even in his duel with aporia the writers were still holding Leo back making his moves backfire in stupid ways for artificial tension so if the duel between Leo and Aporia was written like an actual duel then Leo might not have even needed Life stream Dragon to come out as plot armour to help them win the duel against Aporia in fact life stream dragon was more of a plot device for helping Yusei with summoning shooting quasar dragon with its custom made effect that lets yusei change the level of all the other signer dragons with crow I would not call him a good or bad duellist since he is just there and he is given way more screen time then the other characters and if Akiza, Leo or Luna were given just as much screen time as crow to improve and show what they can really do in a duel then they would be just as good as crow if not better than him and finally with Yusei he is just such an obvious choice for the number one spot for a list like this since yusei is practically a unbeatable god in the show that never loses his duels not because of his skill but because of his godly plot armour
Z-ONE literally obliterates everyone in 5DS with the exception of Yusei and even then I can't 100% say Yusei would win if he didn't have the Signer dragons. His combos were VERY specific in that duel and relied on the signer dragons for him to perform such combos. But hey, at least you didn't place Z-ONE as a low D like TGS anime did lmao
That doesn’t count because it’s before the main story. It would be like counting all the times they lost as kids or something. He lost to Kiryu. The idea that he didn’t is just the weird western fandom criteria for what’s a W or L. In the series it was treated as a loss with Yusei losing his morale, which in hindsight is one of the most interesting periods for his character
@@KurokamiNajimiYusei isn’t impressive imo. He gets too behind on the ropes in his duels and relies on his topdecks. The CD literally stacks this guy’s deck. The best thing the other signers got was a tattoo and Jack got BS, but only used it once. Remove the CD out of the mix and the topdecking stack it gives and this guy is prob only on Aporia’s level at best.
@@pkswordsaga3967 I never interpreted it as stacking the card has to already be in his deck of 40 I interpreted it was it starts to glow just as a sign the CD gave it to him at some point. Every protagonist has the general trend you’re describing so you just have to go by win loss ratio the CD stuff is ultimately just for entertainment appeal he’s gonna win the duels whether or not they include it. Yusei is described as a talented genius and showcases that multiple times. At the beginning Jack is the duel king after having beaten many pros and Yusei comes dethroning him. Then he beats a former pro without his own deck and the security guard who was cheating (and yes I remember someone blacked out the lights for him but it was a fair to counteract his dirty tactic). After he bounced back from his loss to Kiryu he defeats the leader of the group without even using Savior Star Dragon. He figured out the puzzle to that one dueling simulator that Jack got wrong claiming it was bc the others showed him the way but they picked him to do it on purpose It’s implied he beat Andrew because it was stated Jean greatly fears Yusei after witnessing that duel, Andrew was stated as a prodigy like him. Even though Jean got cold feet at the end and his pride wouldn’t let him be happy winning with the tactics they used it’s still very impressive Yusei won 2 duels in a row against great duelist while coming in handicapped by Andrew. In the Crash Town arc he did a 1 turn 3 kill and Lotten who has the cheapest FTK in the series praised him saying he’s one of the few strong enough to face him. His win against Herald another impressive victory. The victory against Zone has only one asterisk that he had the dragons from his friends but after seeing how Zone owned Aporia and narratively that Zone would rank above Paradox who went against 3 protagonist at the time a victory against Zone arguably portrays Yusei as the greatest duelist. Last duel against Jack who has a very powerful Ace monster another clean victory where he doesn’t even use Quasar Back to bonds beyond time you could argue he’s depicted as equal to Atem/Judai there which is a good thing because this was before he even got Shooting Star let alone all the way up to getting Quasar. But to steelman my new interpretation of the lore is Konami wants you to pick your own GOAT which is why they don’t show the conclusion of Judai vs Atem/Yugi
@@KurokamiNajimi You need to rewatch WRGP again: almost all his duels he was pushed back to the ropes and all of his wins were the result of one or multiple topdecks (even topdecks to make sure he survives). It isn’t a coincidence that he gets the card he needs all the time, thus it’s the CD. The last evident is Jack vs Yusei final duel. Jack forced Yusei to topdeck 4 times (if this doesn’t prove that the CD gives him the cards he needs everytime then I don’t know what will). I never said he wasn’t a skilled duelist. He’s certianly good which is why I’d rank him in Aporia’s level w/o the CDs assistance and yes all his duels are evident of that, but almost all of his professional duels are also evident of the fact that he’s not as close to the best (below antinomy). Going back to Jack vs Yusei duel. It’s pretty much implied that LO Accel Synchro is a one time time as he needs all the Signers to do it (doesn’t make sense that Yusei can summon a God comprised of the Signer Dragons with his ‘Junk’ cards) and even if he could, Jack was skilled enough to obviously not let him do it (Crimson blader prevented synchro summon for half the duel). Paradox fought the three protags and only Judai was in his prime. Any of the protags can smack this guy at their peak.the best he has is a monster with 5k not destruction. All of the protags dealt with a form of deck lockout before.
@@pkswordsaga3967 Yeah but again that’s how all protagonist are and it doesn’t really matter you’re using mental gymnastics no offense 👍🏻 a win is a win I could attack Atem saying he cheats which he literally does but fact is that he has only 1 legitimate loss in the “canon” and is portrayed as a goat. Yuma has a similar hax shining draw
My list would be: 10. Aki 9. Kiryu 8. Sherry (she may have defeated Yusei in their first duel) 7. Antinomy 6. Dark Signer Godwin 5. Crow 4. Jack 3. Aporia 2. Z-one 1. Yusei
I think the show also indicates that crow is still below yusei and jack. Also, maybe Aki in her prime is better than Kiryu; but I think it’s honestly quite close. Also can’t wait to see your zexal list; I think Yumas prime is not easy to beat at all. Also, ig it might depend on if you count Zexal differently; since that’s only possible from both Yuma and Astral together.
My prediction for Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal list 1-7 the seven barain emperors 8. Yuma 9. Kite 10. Don thousand Not in that order How many wanna bet that he would have honorable mentions or make it a top 15 so the list isn't so predictable!
One thing I will say about the inevitable zexal video is that I really do believe yuma should be if not the strongest duelist in zexal, then he's definitely in the top 3 with kite and shark. Especially when you do these lists by when the characters are at their strongest you could argue that yuma shark and kite are all at their strongest during the barian arc towards the end of the show. So really if you look at it like that you could easily put yuma 1st then kite 2nd and shark 3rd,or kite 1st shark 2nd and yuma 3rd,or shark 1st yuma 2nd kite 3rd ect and no matter what way you arrange the top 3 it will always hold merit because no matter what you are talking about 3 of the most powerful characters in the yugioh franchise and so no matter what order the 3 come in,no one can truly ever say the order is wrong or inaccurate because when you're talking about yuma shark and kite at their absolute strongest the order doesn't really matter what matters is that they're all present in the top 3 😁 😉. Now personally I'd rank it yuma 1st shark 2nd and kite 3rd but that's just me 🙂
Yuma improved over the series. However he is not number one. That has to go to someone else like Astral, Kite, Shark, Rio (No 101 Ragna Zero) Yuma is up there for sure but he fell short to me for number 1. There was a lot of great duelist in Zexal. Trey Quattro Quinton Dextra Anna there was a bunch in Zexal that stood out. 😅
@Michael A Burns I definitely agree that yuma wasn't the best at the start the only reason I would say yuma is number one for me is because his improvement was so great and you could see him getting stronger and better every episode slowly over time up until the start of the barian arc where he's at his peak and consistently gives incredible performances in his duels. So for me he's number 1 not just because of his dueling abilities but also because of his playstyle and dueling abilities grew and evolved over time in a way that was believable and so watching it all take place on screen was fun for me. So he's not just number 1 for abilities but also because I'm just very invested in his character as a whole.(and to be honest astral wouldn't even make my list. I never really did like his character to be honest)
@@michaelaburns734 Yuma beat Astral who had all of the number cards including all of the Utopics meanwhile Yuma had Onomats Yuma's definitely better than Astral
I think Andre from Team Unicorn should've appeared on the list. He took off 10,000 LP from Team 5Ds by himself, and no-resulted against Yusei when he was rapidly approaching invincibility levels.
For the record, while Andre is a skilled duelist, his 10,000 life point feat is mainly due to tricking team 5ds into using Jack first and countering his style of dueling, coupled with Aki's inexperience with turbo dueling, and using the rules of dueling as a team in the grand prix to his advantage. You could even argue that he technically lost to Yusei, even if it was deliberate.
This list is a joke I wouldn't take it serious, he has Aki above Bruno and Leo above guys like Andre. Jack over Z-One too etc.
@@StareachValcin still doesnt change the fact that he beats jack easily 1v1. Its not like Jack has multiple decks he changes based on who he duels. Imo Andre is better than every single person who had appeared in the show up to that point, although you can argue characters like Jack and Yusei got better than him later. He deserved to be on this list, and the fact that he isnt shows this thing was made in a rush
he's also a great strategist. like against aki he was thinking about what to do, and immediately had a new well prepped tactic based on his good topdeck for the moment, and later on.
I don't agree with this, I mean they did startigize well, but I kinda do wish Yusei lost a 2nd time in that duel. I say their win was deserved, and it was not even a single Elim tourney since team Unicorn goes to a losers bracket etc. Just imo would have been better writing I understand though, also now. I don't like Aki as duelist she's cute and probably the best girl duelist from the 4 series
(Ghost girl lost every duel as well, but she was a formidle duelist. Sorry spoilers) but yeah 100% Aki should be lower.
the later part of 5ds not being dubbed to this day is a crime
we might have a chance with AI voices :D
Shoutout to the editor for this really good edit for Dyl’s channel. Really refreshing style, and I love the incorporation of memes and reaction faces. I think my only criticism is that it kinda reverts to becoming a clip show midway through, but I understand this style of rapid pace, in-your-face style edit is difficult to sustain for a longer video like this one. Perhaps it’d work better for something less than 10 (maybe even 5) minutes.
Overall, I like it. Hope to see more from them in the future.
I was about to say the same thing. Props to the editor
Yeah yata (see description )
He is a cool guy
I'm honestly surprised Halldor/Harald wasnt on this list espesically since he should be stronger than Broder/Brave who dueled Crow equally and Dragan who could have actually beaten Jack but let him win, while Halldor himself actaully held his own against Yusei.
If Yuesi draw the Fourth Tuner it's game over for him
Jack actually could have countered the way Dragan would have won even if he played it. Also Halldor started with two immortal god cards and Yusei started with nothing, Yusei could have easily beaten Halldor if it was one on one.
Jack also could have saved Red Nova Dragon for Crow, by chaining it to Thors effect in his last turn.
Glad to see Leo make the list. That duel against Aporia is one of my favorite in the series
Agreed! That duel is GOATed in my opinion.
Yusei Antimony Round 2 STILL the best duel in that season
He’s not as good as andre though
I love the energy in the editing for this one, showing plenty of personality Dylan!
Yusei is a personal favorite of yours? So is he for me. He's my favorite character in Yugioh history, as well as the best Protagonist by far.
Yusaku still my favorite yuesi second
Yusaku is just like Yusei
He’s not even top 3 though
@@Deathmare235lmao yusei the best that’s why
Jack isn't only the King of Duels but he also is the King of ass woopings. It's funny to me how he took out many goons, seen in this video.
How the hell was Andre (Andore) from Team Unicorn NOT on this list!? He literally beat Jack and Crow and it took a ridiculous effort by Yusei to finally take him out. He was shown to be highly skilled and would easily bump Lua off of this list.
That and they said that he won a tournament or something with only trap cards
It was also mentioned in the show that he has "perfect card playing sense" just like Yusei, whatever that means lol
He doesn't have a duel links theme? (Its just a joke)
@@namelessanonymous2913 I think it’s basically thinly of the perfect combo that you can make in the moment, we kinda get an idea of the ability when we get those scenes of Yusei going over a play he’s about to do in his head.
The only reason he beat Akiza was plot armor and everyone knows it. She was robbed a win to make Yusei look better. The Queen and Prince of Yugioh deserved better. (Sorry Yusei, but Atem will ALWAYS be the King and Seto Kaiba is the High Priest.)
Dylan: views Jack as a strong duelist
Also Dylan: shows Jack punching a bunch of ppl xD
For some reason, I can picture Jack shouting, "I SUMMON MY RIGHT FIST IN ATTACK MODE" right before he decks someone, lol!
Props to the editor fr. When I clicked on this video I wasn't expecting this level of editing with the cropped Dyl reactions nor the memes. In my eyes, this is a big improvement for an otherwise simple (not at all bad ofc) channel.

This has the Best editing out of all these Strongest Duelist List.
I'm glad you made a yugioh 5ds video.
The editing was amazing and hilarious. (Bruno was done wrong by that foolish burial meme) I love the detail of adding each characters' Duel Links theme to them during Dylan's explanation.
The Editing is so sooth & new, what we need is Dylan’s Ai Voice & that will doom us all
It is so much harder to rank everyone in 5Ds compared to every other Yugioh show cause of how many of them are on the same level of too tier. I think Yusei is safely number 1 but after that, it is really hard to decide. Just from the main group alone I would have trouble ranking Aki, Crow and Jack. But then there are so many other chars like Kiryu, Aporia, Antinomy, Zone, so many who participated in WRGP etc. I feel like many of those could go either way.
Given how well Antimony did against late game Yusei, I would rank him as relative to Yusei and in the same ballpark as Jack
Dark Signer Kiryu vs Crow Hogan would've been an amazing imo
Oh yeah, Andre should be really high on this list, defeated Jack and Crow with relative ease
Mmmm, yeah, I'm not confident that Jack would beat Z-one. It's probably possible, but I definitely think Z-one is favored in that matchup
The editor needs a raise; they are making some BANGER edits
Loved the editing, made me laugh at some points 😂 major props to the editor 👏👏👏
The editing and memes in the video was really good. Made me laugh while watching the video 😂
I feel this isn't said enough, but damn the editing in the video kicks ass.
It’s actually pretty crazy in hindsight how many duels Yusei nearly lost. Kiryu would’ve beat him if his Duel Runner didn’t fail, Sherry could’ve beat him depending on the next card she drew, Antinomy would’ve beat him in their first duel if he’d gone all out, and Andre (I think that was his name) from Team Unicorn literally would’ve beat him if Yusei hadn’t psyched him out and he’d just ended his turn.
Would really like to know what the writers' allergy against him losing was based in.
that's wht i love him
@@memesThatDankyet he technically never lost
Yusei did lose he lost to Kalin and got out duel by him and Jack beat him in a flashback which is why Yusei wanted his stardust dragon back from him Sherry may or may not have won we honestly don’t know who would of won that duel just like the Yugi Jaden duel and Bruno/Antinomy wasn’t going to go all out on yusei he knew that yusei was the only one able to save everyone so to say that he would of beat Yusei is really stupid beating him wouldn’t have taught and shown Yusei how to accel synchro summon
@@raphaelwilkes97he did lose to Kalin but didn’t officially count as a loss only the one against Jack did
#1 better be the clock kid who Canonically beat crow. One of few times I was genuinely shocked.
Garbage
To be fair , Crow threw the duel to make Lyndon (the clock guy) look good in front of his mother by refusing to activate his Mirror Force
I was shocked as well to be fair 😃😃
He faked it lmao
Birdbrain shouldn't even be included.

😂 yusei a jack of all trades
I need more of these! Keep up the good work Dylan!
I was wondering if you could do ten duels that almost happened and didn’t happen (if this is possible) and what you think might’ve happened - for example Asuka was going to duel Edo but Judai has his rematch instead and Asuka never duelled Edo after this point.
That duel Yusei had in The Facility against Armstrong could be used on its own to demonstrate how strong of a duellist he is
Not only did he duel with a deck of thrown together cards , his opponent made him discard many of them and he still won
Side note , while I agree that Jack Atlas could potentially defeat Z-ONE (which to me would be an outside shot) , I think Akiza could potentially if off of a lucky move 😃😃
Yuesi and Yusaku my favorite
But Yusei cheated in that duel though

number 0, paradox. it took yugi jaden and yusei to defeat him. he was also shown to have malefic versions of other iconic monsters meaning he defeated THOSE duelists too
Yusei didn't know accel Synchro at the time and Paradox scales below Z-ONE who Yusei beat
That was pre WRGP Yusei, during that Arc Yusei made a massive jump.
Whims technically true, saying Yugi, Jaden and Yusei beat him is a wild statement
He doesn’t have to defeat the duelist to obtain the monster he never beat Yusei and he’s never beating Zane or Kaiba
@@lisaruhm6681oh crap so there was a massive power difference between him and the other protagonists
Them yatalock
Nice editing
SOOO SOOOO INSANE I LOVE THE EDTING, the meme, the other stuff
Konami really dropped the banlist after this video uh 💀
Anyways loved working with you Dylan
Loved the editing in this, specially Jack's segment. While Dylan's talking about Jack's dueling ability we see how he went physical when the time called for it
Aki’s summoning of Stardust Dragon vs Team Unicorn was an incredible moment. Also, Andre and Halldor make a great case to be on this list, despite the stiff competition. This was an absolutely loaded top 10
They easily could’ve beaten leo
It’s pretty undeniable that Yusei is top tier. In terms of actual power compared to others he’s not really as strong in terms of hax,unlike Jack who got faster regeneration and Aki who was an empowered stand user,at best the crimson dragon gave Yusei a cool tattoo,2 cards and time travel. What truly makes Yusei formidable is his knowledge which allowed him to acquire higher levels of power and speed coupled with a consistent deck with endless combos which made him unbeatable.
Tf Yusei has accel synchro and it’s evolutions he’s easily more powerful than Jack
@@Deathmare235 I mean power as in exclusive abilities given by magic item’s like Yuma and his Super Saiyan forms letting him make any card or Jack regenerating a broken arm in one day due to his mark or both Yugis willing the cards they need through the puzzle. As explained in the show anyone can accel synchro you need a good engine and some faith as shown by Bruno and Yusei it’s only exclusive to them because they mastered it before everyone else like Master Roshi creating the Kamehameha many years before Son Goku and the others learned it.
@@Deathmare235don't underestimate burning soul. Double or triple tuner Monsters are no joke.
@@starbound100 they’re no limit over accel though
@@Deathmare235Limit over accel synchro is a one time thing (combination of all signers). Any of the signers are actually capable of summoning Quasar just because the Crimson dragon can will them to do it (LOAS is not impressive for signers considering context).
Yusei the first protagonist to be undefeated no counting flashbacks
Ai beat him clean in the original ending
@@AbsoluteZero-lv8js sorry i mixed the names the subs got me
Yusaku is the true undefeated protagonist
Kalin wants a word with you
@DiamondR11 Blue Kiryu didn't actually beat Yuesi legitimately. Also don't use any dub name. Made your comments look disgusting
Amazing and can you do top video about protagonist ace monters or rival ace monsters
Reminder that Andre beat Jack, Aki and whittled down Yusei. He should be in the top 10
For the record, while Andre is a skilled duelist, his 10,000 life point feat is mainly due to tricking team 5ds into using Jack first and countering his style of dueling, coupled with Aki's inexperience with turbo dueling, and using the rules of dueling as a team in the grand prix to his advantage. You could even argue that he technically lost to Yusei, even if it was deliberate.
Lmao Andre only did that because his teammates did most of the work
Ummmm I think there were more instances of Jack’s duels being rigged than showing his own strength lol
other than his season finale duel, Goodwin also threw a game where we see he had 3 very strong counter traps he didn't set.
I always had the feeling that Bruno was holding back against yusei. I felt as though he could have beaten yusei at any point. But had to lose for plot reasons.
P.S. Jack is my favorite for his bombastic personality and his synchros can kick some serious keister.
Definitely, for whatever reason he used the banish effect of the level 10 TG, don't think he had to, and it (might've) caused Yusei to lose
The summon animation for halberd cannon was pretty spectacular
He totally was. His duels were lessons for Yusei first and foremost. Also in the second duel it was obvious deep in his heart he wanted to lose so bad. Since he had hope on Yusei changing the future
Love the edit of Jack beating people and reducing their LP to 0 🤣
With Aki, but summoning of Stardust Dragon vs Team Unicorn was an incredible moment. Also, Andre makes a strong case to make it on this list, though lack of appearances hurts him. Halldor too.
That one guy from team unicorn was insane I think his name was Andre he should definitely be on this list same with the Nordic beast people
Hi Yugioh Everything I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome
I think you did a really great job with the last two lists but I whole heartedly think this list is very very bad.
Before I start my rant let me first say that I’m not trying to be mean, just want to give my opinion on the list.
First there are duelist that should have definitely appeared evolve some characters
Andre from team unicorn
Outside of yusei and aporia he is the only duelist who managed to beat 2 or mores signers in the whole of 5ds, that alone is an insane feat since aporia started the duel with 12000 lp and the other duelist is yusei.
He whopped the floor with jack who at the time was pretty much undefeated outside of main villain or yusei and his own clone. Then he defeated Aki easily even tho she had stardust and took him by surprise, lastly he still dealt with yusei.
In his practice duel with yusei before the tournament he was defeating yusei, yusei who was on the brink of losing came back last second but even then Andre had a face down and yusei was scared that if he activated it he could have easily lost. I whole heartedly believe he would and could have defeated yusei in a 1v1 if team unicorn didn’t try to trap 5ds.
He was also noted to 1v3 tournaments after tournaments with every type of deck ( even trap not decks and what not ). Team unicorn also would have defeated team 5ds all because he got rid of everyone except yusei.
Sheryl blanc
Idk if I need to say much, did insanely good against yusei and had like 3 tries to draw a spell but didn’t, she didn’t draw her last card but honestly deserved and would have probably won ( keep in mind yusei went full force because he was threatened with an explosive in his dwheel )
Also did very good in a 1v2 vs aki and crow who were at the end of the series aka full power.
And also single handedly came very far during the tournament 1v3’ing every team she dueled against.
Team ragnorok, specifically haldor.
While they should have done better imo they still did great, pls owning a god in the anime honestly single handily makes you one of the strongest, dragan would have defeated jack in their original duel and only barely lost because jack acquired scar red nova ( still he was left so weakened he instantly lost the next turn ), border was pretty much joking around with crow until crow managed a last turn comeback to draw. Haldor is the only duelist to have defeated majestic star dragon plus was dominating yusei. Admittedly he still lost deposits starting with 2 gods but you know yusei is insane.
Aki above Bruno is honestly an insult, Sure aki has won more but it’s because she dueled more, Bruno would pretty much defeat yusei in their first duel, yusei at the end of the show aka full powered yusei needed a last second comeback. Those duel bots he easily defeated had just easily defeated sherry prior. He also was going toe to toe against placido and looked like he would win if he didn’t crash or something. Plus everyone one from the future is insanely strong.
Aki and Ruka have no business being on here, ruka had 1 good win and even then it was a 1v3 and he needed bs plot armor. I in no world see aki coming close to defeating anyone from team 5ds, ragnrorok, new world, unicorn, sherry, kiryu, Bruno, z-one, most of the dark signers and those are only from the top of my head, het best win is against misty or sherry in a 1v2. She isn’t good enough to be on the list and in no world better than Bruno.
Jack above z-one is honestly also crazy. Z-one is busted and only yusei with all signers plus quasar plus bs anime luck constantly drawing 6+cards every turn and classic random anime only card that he can never activate in a normal duel ( clustering wishes ) barely managed to beat z-one. In no world does jack beat him and honestly I think aporia in a 1v1, haldor, rex and Bruno have a good shot at winning. I love jack but putting him in second is very crazy.
And lastly I think the list lacks narrative, some characters like Bruno are out lower because they don’t have onscreen wins even tho you know they are better than most of the list, some characters like aki are on the list because they atleast have a few wins against very minor characters, some like z-one are put very high because they are obviously broken, some like jack are out in second because you think they are the only one with a chance against another character. And some like ruka have no real good reasoning.
What qualifies to be on the list and where is vastly different per character, I mean if you used the reasoning for aki with a character like andre he would be one the list, if you used your reasoning with aporia on Bruno, he would be higher.
It’s very difficult to follow a list if everyone is judged differently.
Yusei and Jack are the two strongest duelists in 5Ds
Ai Playmaker is the strongest
I mean Yusei NEVER lost other than flashbacks which doesn't count
@@markmagician2471 kalin is calling
even before the final duel against Yusei, Jack went on a rampage and defeated lots of strong duelists from the show, Sherry and probably her butler at the same time, Kalin, Greigar and probably others just so he can prepare for his duel against Yusei
If we go by power scaling. Yusei isn't just the strogest duelist in 5ds. He's also the strongest duelist in all of the entirety of the first 3 series. Peak Yusei vs Z-one completely eclipses both EOS Atem and Yugi and EOS Judai.
And it all comes from Paradox. Mid series Yusei, EOS Judai, and Atem needed to work together to beat Paradox, who should scale to Bruno and Aporia, maybe sronger. And Z-one's supposed to be stronger than ALL 3 of them. So Yusei didn't just match the powers of 3 Protagonists at their peak. He surpassed it more than 3 fold.
True Yusei didn't even learn Accel Synchro when he dueled Paradox and just by him learning Accel Synchro he's essentially stronger than himself pre accel Synchro, Yugi and Jaden combined when you think about it like that
@@Honest_Mids_Masher if we include the mass of promotional content and games to re-contextualize things, and the fact that in the anime continuity the yami yugi he paired with was before the doma arc and that paradox did not know the name atem on top of judai deeming pre-millenium world yugi his strongest opponent and unpredictable, while yusei is extremely powerful yami yugi has already beaten him at a wcs when he could accel synchro and has voicelines where he admits yugi is the king of games whereas if he loses to judai it's treated as him giving up/teetering out
which is to say while judai is cursed due to time traveling as his end series self twice, both yusei and yugi have the advantage of future endeavors (aka extra arcs that further enhance their abilities, which is notable in how battle city seto is massively inferior to kc grand championship seto via his comfort facing atem with a god card let-alone three) with gx yugi not being counted since he was already confirmed to be on another adventure of his own throughout most of the gx series
note: yusei does have a line for when he defeats atem but it's basically him comparing atem to him in terms of ability so they're more implied to be very comparable
2nd note: i wish they'd talk about how yusei is the turbo duel king in his plethora of game bios, but overall i'm just highlighting how they're constantly being presented in and out of universe, especially considering how both characters are the primary ones promoting new cards when we're in the buffer between series
@@MegaMachiOnline the lines and some is just konami loving atem a bit too much.
I feel like Ryo and Atem could beat Yusei maybe not Ryo but definitely Atem
Paradox doesn’t really a count Yusei was completely uneeded Yugi could’ve beat him 3 protagonists was just overkill
I'm glad that my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh antagonist made it to #3 on the list
There’s no way you put Z-one ahead of Jack hell I don’t even know if Jack should be ahead of Crow
Fun Fact: Luna was the only Signer not to make this list.
Jack Atlas story: Not so good -> Get a sponsor and become king of the arena -> Turns out all/most opponents let Jack win for money -> Jack Atlas get a little more humble and put more effort into his duels -> That is pretty much it, he get some new cards along the way and it not some clever trap or use of cards in a new way but rather just new boss monsters that happen to have an effect that come handy in the next duel. But sure if only count their peak performance and results he might belong on the list but below the rest of the gang IMO (below Crow)
I don’t completely agree with your list but good video. Didn’t Z-One change his brain to be Yusei, so he thought the same way Yusei did, and if the only duelist Jack can’t beat is Yusei then I don’t think he can beat Z-one. My personal list would be:
10. Crow
9. Sherry
8. Kiryu
7. Paradox
6. Godwin
5. Antinomy
4. Aporia
3. Jack
2. Z-One
1. Yusei
I think you can switch some people around and could consider putting Aki, Andre from team Unicorn, or Harald from Team Ragnarok.
Finally someone who remembers Paradox. What do you think about Lotton lmao I agree with Z-one over Jack but I wouldn’t say he is Yusei. I mean Yusei would have lost to him without unlocking Quasar. He’s more like an alternate Yusei, he ultimately still had his own mind he couldn’t perfectly copy Yusei. Like Yusei said he would never come to the conclusions he did. If Yusei traveled back in time it would be to warn humanity not sacrifice anyone
I would agree with the rest except for the Jack statement. In the last duel Jack dominated Yusei throughout most of the duel forcing him to topdeck 3 times. The Crimson Dragon made Yusei extremely lucky or else Yusei just can’t win aganist Jack w/o the Crimson dragon at this point especially after the timeskip where Jack most likely has Supernova (Supernova -> Blazar).
Tbh all 5ds main villain dueling record was absolutely dog shit. When you look at Vrains Bohman only lost to Playmaker Lightning undefeated Ai 9 wins in a single season also only lost to Playmaker in the finale.
I feel like when he makes the video for zexal kite might be the best duelist for that series
I got it bad with my love for Yugioh 5d’s. I could watch the same episode 4 times in a row for almost every 1.
I hate the fact that once aporia arrives & ur into his duel with yusei & jump to the next episode it takes u back to the very 1st episode
After each top10 it would be cool to have a top100 master duel Yu-Gi-Oh (dm to vrains)
I don't think WE Can compare rush duellist with master duellist.
Jack 5ds vs Jack Arc-V 🤣
When is zexal coming out?
Yusie was a great protagonist in my opinion
Shame about Leo tho I wish he had a few more dules and wins
This list is solid, but...
1. Yusei
2. Z-One
3. Aporia
4. Jack
5. Antinomy
6. Andre
7. Sherry
8. Crow
9. Rex Godwin
10. Kiryu
Unfortunately, I don't think Aki or Lua are defeating any of these characters one on one.
Solid list but I think you put Andre way too high, as he only beat Aki because of the Speed counter advantage. Would have put Crow lower than Kiryu seeing how he actually beat Yusei and Crow never beat anyone of note by himself. I would put Jack above Aporia because last episode Jack is significantly stronger than Ark Cradle Jack, But there is a good argument for Aporia.
@@TheOtherGuy128 I put Andre that high because he was stated to have won several team tournaments by himself, on top of easily defeating Jack and Aki. Jack could be stronger than Aporia at the end. It's hard to tell, but you might be right. Lastly, I thought that Crow improved enough to surpass Dark Signer Kiryu, but maybe not.
Great top, Sherry Leblac, Andre and the leader from the nordic god could appear too in my opinión jeje.
Jack beat Yusei at least once, and never lost a standing duel.
Andre, Halldor and Broder didnt make the list? Are you serious? Kalin should’ve been higher. You should probably stop giving main characters credit because theyre main characters and give credit for actual dueling ability and lore. I could never see Leo or Akiza beating any of the players mentioned except maybe broder and even then it’s a tough out.
I was surprised that Paradox wasn’t on this list
That’s wild 3:34
Don thousand is going to crush the ZeXal most strongest duelist tier I'm sure of it 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ai probably had the best dueling record in terms of final boss. He had 9 wins in a single season. Then almost beating Playmaker clean in their Ultimate clash.
I disagree with Crow being better than Aki personally in Riding duels you can make somewhat of an argument but Crow wasn't smart enough to figure out Sherry's field spell unlike Aki.
He took on grieger without plot and didn't lose. He's just better

Antinomy, 9? come on dude, he had such good control of the duels to show yusei Accel and Delta Accel Synchro. Totally toying with Yusei both times
How about ranking Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS
Playmaker no.1
Next do zexal Please
Give Kiryu x3 Trishula, x3 Infernity Launcher, x3 Infernity barrier - and he takes first place
So glad leo got his spotlight he really deserves it also let's be real leo was meant to be a signer so his win was less plot armor than the shot crow got for just having a popular deck after all we saw life stream but not black winged in the crimson dragon scene
Leo isn’t top 10 though
I kinda feel like Arc-V going to be interesting. Because Jack will be again one of the top duelists 🤣
Hes not even stronger than the battle beast
@@Deathmare235 but jack beat the battle beast together with Yuya.
Damn. A Duel Of Yami Yugi VS Yusei Would Be Beyond Insane. Yugi Is My Favorite Character Ever. But That's Because I Spent My Entire Childhood Watching The Original. But A Lose To Yusei, I Can Truly See Happening, And I Wouldn't Debate. Yusei Is Basically The Embodiment Of Evolution In Character. I Give Yusei A Perfect 10/10 In Everything. Because Unlike Every Other Main Character, Exept Yugi, Yusei Basically Saved Everyone And Pushed Them In The Right Direction. He Doesn't Believe In Failure, And He Knows And Believes That A Future Where Sacrifice Is Necessary Is Not One That Is Worth Fighting For. He Sees Everyone As Equals, And Shooting Quasar Dragon VS Slifer??? Yes Please🔥🔥🔥
GREAT YU-GI-OH EVERYTHING VIDEO, ❤
When he does for zexal I will be surprised to see Yuma ahead of Kitesince Kite neat him both times
I’m surprised came first when he hasn’t fought anyone strong
Yuesi vs Antimony Round 2 best duel in season 5
5ds and Vrains best series ever
Halldor is definitely top ten duelist in 5ds
I would go with
Yusei
Zone
Jack
Antinomy
Kalin
Crow
Aporia
Broder
Akiza
Taro
I understand putting Jack above Zone but I feel Jack doesn't have the consistency needed to reach that Level. With Antinomy I see your argument about not getting to see his ability but I feel that simply possessing the skill needed to push Yusei to that level is telling of his skill. He is also able to perform Delta Accel Synchro which is regarded as a high level technique. Kalin shoots up the rankings for being the only Duelist that was able to defeat Yusei, a character that deserves the title of strongest Duelist in all of Yugioh. Broder was able to beat Jack and tie with Crow when they were both at a level beyond where they were in the Dark Signer arc. Taro might not be the tenth strongest Duelist but I felt he deserved recognition for being able to pull off Zushin.
Bro how the hell is crow before Antinomy and kalin he’s Jack’s equal also I’d personally put Kalin over antimony
Andre from Team Unicorn and all 3 members of Team Ragnarok mop the floor with Leo, Aki and Crow. They deserve to be on the list instead.
the whole thing with Leo skill as a duelist is obvious to anyone that pays attention to his duels that he is a good duelist with a lot of potential but the problem Leo has is he is never allowed to show what he can really do in his duels because the stupid writers hold him back and force him to lose all of his duels in stupid ways and even in his duel with aporia the writers were still holding Leo back making his moves backfire in stupid ways for artificial tension so if the duel between Leo and Aporia was written like an actual duel then Leo might not have even needed Life stream Dragon to come out as plot armour to help them win the duel against Aporia in fact life stream dragon was more of a plot device for helping Yusei with summoning shooting quasar dragon with its custom made effect that lets yusei change the level of all the other signer dragons
with crow I would not call him a good or bad duellist since he is just there and he is given way more screen time then the other characters and if Akiza, Leo or Luna were given just as much screen time as crow to improve and show what they can really do in a duel then they would be just as good as crow if not better than him
and finally with Yusei he is just such an obvious choice for the number one spot for a list like this since yusei is practically a unbeatable god in the show that never loses his duels not because of his skill but because of his godly plot armour
Z-ONE literally obliterates everyone in 5DS with the exception of Yusei and even then I can't 100% say Yusei would win if he didn't have the Signer dragons. His combos were VERY specific in that duel and relied on the signer dragons for him to perform such combos. But hey, at least you didn't place Z-ONE as a low D like TGS anime did lmao
Yusei only has one lose, but we don't even get to see it happen because it is a flashback against Jack.
That doesn’t count because it’s before the main story. It would be like counting all the times they lost as kids or something. He lost to Kiryu. The idea that he didn’t is just the weird western fandom criteria for what’s a W or L. In the series it was treated as a loss with Yusei losing his morale, which in hindsight is one of the most interesting periods for his character
@@KurokamiNajimiYusei isn’t impressive imo. He gets too behind on the ropes in his duels and relies on his topdecks. The CD literally stacks this guy’s deck. The best thing the other signers got was a tattoo and Jack got BS, but only used it once. Remove the CD out of the mix and the topdecking stack it gives and this guy is prob only on Aporia’s level at best.
@@pkswordsaga3967 I never interpreted it as stacking the card has to already be in his deck of 40 I interpreted it was it starts to glow just as a sign the CD gave it to him at some point. Every protagonist has the general trend you’re describing so you just have to go by win loss ratio the CD stuff is ultimately just for entertainment appeal he’s gonna win the duels whether or not they include it. Yusei is described as a talented genius and showcases that multiple times. At the beginning Jack is the duel king after having beaten many pros and Yusei comes dethroning him. Then he beats a former pro without his own deck and the security guard who was cheating (and yes I remember someone blacked out the lights for him but it was a fair to counteract his dirty tactic). After he bounced back from his loss to Kiryu he defeats the leader of the group without even using Savior Star Dragon. He figured out the puzzle to that one dueling simulator that Jack got wrong claiming it was bc the others showed him the way but they picked him to do it on purpose
It’s implied he beat Andrew because it was stated Jean greatly fears Yusei after witnessing that duel, Andrew was stated as a prodigy like him. Even though Jean got cold feet at the end and his pride wouldn’t let him be happy winning with the tactics they used it’s still very impressive Yusei won 2 duels in a row against great duelist while coming in handicapped by Andrew. In the Crash Town arc he did a 1 turn 3 kill and Lotten who has the cheapest FTK in the series praised him saying he’s one of the few strong enough to face him. His win against Herald another impressive victory. The victory against Zone has only one asterisk that he had the dragons from his friends but after seeing how Zone owned Aporia and narratively that Zone would rank above Paradox who went against 3 protagonist at the time a victory against Zone arguably portrays Yusei as the greatest duelist. Last duel against Jack who has a very powerful Ace monster another clean victory where he doesn’t even use Quasar
Back to bonds beyond time you could argue he’s depicted as equal to Atem/Judai there which is a good thing because this was before he even got Shooting Star let alone all the way up to getting Quasar. But to steelman my new interpretation of the lore is Konami wants you to pick your own GOAT which is why they don’t show the conclusion of Judai vs Atem/Yugi
@@KurokamiNajimi
You need to rewatch WRGP again: almost all his duels he was pushed back to the ropes and all of his wins were the result of one or multiple topdecks (even topdecks to make sure he survives). It isn’t a coincidence that he gets the card he needs all the time, thus it’s the CD. The last evident is Jack vs Yusei final duel. Jack forced Yusei to topdeck 4 times (if this doesn’t prove that the CD gives him the cards he needs everytime then I don’t know what will).
I never said he wasn’t a skilled duelist. He’s certianly good which is why I’d rank him in Aporia’s level w/o the CDs assistance and yes all his duels are evident of that, but almost all of his professional duels are also evident of the fact that he’s not as close to the best (below antinomy). Going back to Jack vs Yusei duel. It’s pretty much implied that LO Accel Synchro is a one time time as he needs all the Signers to do it (doesn’t make sense that Yusei can summon a God comprised of the Signer Dragons with his ‘Junk’ cards) and even if he could, Jack was skilled enough to obviously not let him do it (Crimson blader prevented synchro summon for half the duel).
Paradox fought the three protags and only Judai was in his prime. Any of the protags can smack this guy at their peak.the best he has is a monster with 5k not destruction. All of the protags dealt with a form of deck lockout before.
@@pkswordsaga3967 Yeah but again that’s how all protagonist are and it doesn’t really matter you’re using mental gymnastics no offense 👍🏻 a win is a win I could attack Atem saying he cheats which he literally does but fact is that he has only 1 legitimate loss in the “canon” and is portrayed as a goat. Yuma has a similar hax shining draw
My list would be:
10. Aki
9. Kiryu
8. Sherry (she may have defeated Yusei in their first duel)
7. Antinomy
6. Dark Signer Godwin
5. Crow
4. Jack
3. Aporia
2. Z-one
1. Yusei
I think the show also indicates that crow is still below yusei and jack. Also, maybe Aki in her prime is better than Kiryu; but I think it’s honestly quite close.
Also can’t wait to see your zexal list; I think Yumas prime is not easy to beat at all. Also, ig it might depend on if you count Zexal differently; since that’s only possible from both Yuma and Astral together.
No way Akiza is even close to kiryu also the show indicates that crow is meant to be Jack’s equal
My prediction for Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal list
1-7 the seven barain emperors
8. Yuma
9. Kite
10. Don thousand
Not in that order
How many wanna bet that he would have honorable mentions or make it a top 15 so the list isn't so predictable!
Forgetting the arclight bros? Barians?
Brian's? Don't forget the mvp astral
One thing I will say about the inevitable zexal video is that I really do believe yuma should be if not the strongest duelist in zexal, then he's definitely in the top 3 with kite and shark. Especially when you do these lists by when the characters are at their strongest you could argue that yuma shark and kite are all at their strongest during the barian arc towards the end of the show. So really if you look at it like that you could easily put yuma 1st then kite 2nd and shark 3rd,or kite 1st shark 2nd and yuma 3rd,or shark 1st yuma 2nd kite 3rd ect and no matter what way you arrange the top 3 it will always hold merit because no matter what you are talking about 3 of the most powerful characters in the yugioh franchise and so no matter what order the 3 come in,no one can truly ever say the order is wrong or inaccurate because when you're talking about yuma shark and kite at their absolute strongest the order doesn't really matter what matters is that they're all present in the top 3 😁 😉. Now personally I'd rank it yuma 1st shark 2nd and kite 3rd but that's just me 🙂
Yuma improved over the series.
However he is not number one. That has to go to someone else like Astral, Kite, Shark, Rio (No 101 Ragna Zero) Yuma is up there for sure but he fell short to me for number 1. There was a lot of great duelist in Zexal. Trey Quattro Quinton Dextra Anna there was a bunch in Zexal that stood out. 😅
@Michael A Burns I definitely agree that yuma wasn't the best at the start the only reason I would say yuma is number one for me is because his improvement was so great and you could see him getting stronger and better every episode slowly over time up until the start of the barian arc where he's at his peak and consistently gives incredible performances in his duels. So for me he's number 1 not just because of his dueling abilities but also because of his playstyle and dueling abilities grew and evolved over time in a way that was believable and so watching it all take place on screen was fun for me. So he's not just number 1 for abilities but also because I'm just very invested in his character as a whole.(and to be honest astral wouldn't even make my list. I never really did like his character to be honest)
@@michaelaburns734 Yuma beat Astral who had all of the number cards including all of the Utopics meanwhile Yuma had Onomats Yuma's definitely better than Astral
@@nathanaelgann9894 Yep that's the Part II what stood out in Zexal to me more. When the Barriarns got introduced changed the list after Part I.
