Hey TGS, another great video. Keep up the amazing work. By the way, can you please do a duel analysis of the duel between Don Thousand, Yuma, and Nasch please? It's a really interesting duel that I think you would have a field day breaking down.
It was hilarious seeing you lose your mind over the pot of greed and graceful charity misplays. Personally, because of those I wouldn't even call Tea a decent duelist. I know she's new and all that, but there is litterally no downside to any of these effects. Blows my freaking mind. Also, Day 76 of asking for Team Taiyo vs Team 5ds. We gotta get that Zushin time!
The takeaway of Tea pitching Pot of Greed and never using Graceful is CLEARLY that- as an expert duelist with a perfect record- she's so strong she doesn't need it. She's clearly toying with Crump XD
I think she had intentions of activating Pot of Greed and/or Graceful Charity but I think she never used either since she was worried that Crump might have a Counter Trap against either Spell Card.
@@jasonmunozjr No, Tea's just not a good duelist. I've seen similar signs in IRL new players: misunderstanding the power level of an effect or the severity of a cost, making simple plays that ignore tempo or information concealment, and relying on the advice of more experienced players to do well. I'm not intending this as a slight to new or inexperienced players, they probably have a lot more fun than competitive players do in many formats. But it also means they should avoid staking their life on a duel if at all possible.
@@theglitch5386In general in the anime characters tend to play much more passively than irl players, probably to make the duels longer and more entertaining to watch.
18:00, what’s even funnier than the Japanese translation is that in the English Dub Dark Magician Girl says,and I shit you not, “The Sages Stone gives me the unique power to summon the Dark Magician from any nearby players deck”. Earlier in the duel, it cuts to Yugi who is in a maze of sorts that he has to use his cards to get through, at one point he goes to use the Dark Magician to beat a monster and the Pharaoh tells him to save it for later. He ends up stumbling upon Tèas duel and is therefor in range of her spell cards effect when she activates it.
It would’ve been nice since Ishizu gave Yugi her necklace, if he had used it and saw the future in which Tea needs that card available and that’s the reason Yugi chooses not to play it when he wanted to.
I expect "Don Thousand takes the first turn. He draws and his opening hand consists of Numeron Network, Numeron Calling, Numeron Wall, Numeron Chaos Ritual, Numeron Storm, and a mysterious card... already?"
@@djt08031996 Did he really have Numeron Network in his hand though? from what i understand until it was destroyed it was on the field before the duel even began
Crump: Has access to the entire card pool to build his deck from Also Crump: Chooses Drifting Snow and Gust for backrow removal instead of 2 MST or even 1 and a Dust Tornado
Yeah, it’s my belief that the big five do not know how to duel well, and base their decks around their deck Master Ability. They are, however decent strategists for running a large company and use that with dirty tricks to keep up with our protags: Grabgsley: constant summonings to punish Crump: Aqua monsters to attack directly and hide. Johnson: Countering Gamble strats Nezbit: targeting the weak to cheat a win Leitcher: complete lockdown,
@@Lucario1121 I'm pretty sure SOMEONE in the dubbed version tried insulting her by calling her Yugi's little girlfriend. Which just doesn't make sense but okay you do you lol
@@GSSAGE73 Times in total, though only 1 of those was actually his deck (the other two, his body was a possessed vessel). He, Duke, and Serenity face Nezbitt in a 3-on-one; Tristan loses but the pair end up winning.
I may not like Crump, character wise... But the way the animators go ham on his expressions and character animations, be it serious or comical, it can look really good.
Lesson 1: Tea is an ok duelist. Lesson 2: The Big Five are terrible duelists. Lesson 3: Pot of Greed allows you to draw two cards from your deck. Lesson 4: Graceful Charity allows you to draw three cards from your deck and then discard two from your hand. Truly difficult material, I know. Better study for when this is on the test.
2 out of 5 of the big five are decent duelists without bullshit deck master abilities (johnson and gansley come to mind as the most bullshit) nezbit and robo cosplayer are decent due to their deck master choices.....
Using one of the worst flip effects of all time and discarding pot of greed for it, instead of just activating pot of greed first to pay the cost does not make you an “ok duelist”.
That, combined with Marik appearing during this arc to casually kick Crump out of Tea's head was one of Little Kuriboh's best gags, and the fact that you thought it was in the actual anime makes it even better.
Now to be fair, if Tea played Pot, Graceful, Gemini Elf and beat Crump into the dirt in five minutes, people would rightfully ask why they don't just leave all the duels to Tea instead of Yugi, but to also be fair, pitching Pot of Greed for cost is a criminal offense in Domino City so playing it out as she did, Tea does go to jail now. Do not pass Go, do not collect your draw for turn.
Tea’s incompetent use of Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity are why Kaiba gets away with making it illegal to live in Domino City without owning a deck and having it registered in DSOD. I know that they are separate continuities, but I just imagine that this misplay was such a crime that it affected a different timeline.
Fun fact: The dub actually replaced the card Gust with Mirror Wall for some reason. It changes literally nothing, so I wonder what the reason was for the change.
There were lots of cases in the dub where cards weren’t portrayed correctly, one example being Mai’s duel against Yugi in DK, at one point we see she has two copies of Shadow of Eyes on her field when one of those is meant to be Cyber Shield
If you watch Casual Cooper he does A.I. Tournaments using a offline master duel mod. He calls it Master Era but Tea on there rarely lost, she was even ranked #2 under the K.o.G. in the Master Era Universe.
I like the special-ish relationship between Tea and Dark Magician girl, like the card reincarnation of Atem’s childhood friend and the girl who has a crush on Yugi/Atem despite never meeting each other need to work together
Was Johnson about to declare Joey Guilty? What Nezbitt about to get a Triple Win? Was Leichter about to defeat Kaiba? (This one I feel is a definite no)
Leicther was closer to beat Kabia if he didn't over extend. Plus I've done the math of the duel several times to catch a miscalculation or misplay. I thought he had higher life points before he attacked twin headed Behemoth
True. Didn’t have a choice at that moment. Though…should have used it right away. And also honestly questionable to include a card that enacts such a high cost for such minor burn damage.
It's shocking how bad a duelist Tea actually is portrayed in this duel. She was never an expert or dueling ace but like in her mock duel with Joey and even at times her duel with Mai she least is shown to be semi-competent. Still not good at all but least she can read cards and stuff. Here it seems like Tea doesn't even know how the game works or what half the cards do.
Battle city Yugioh and Duelist kingdom yugioh are very different games skill wise. All of that aside her duel with Mai was Mai letting her win. Her duel with Joey was before he actually learned from Yugi's grandfather. She understands the basics and can make simple plays. We see a similar level of skill from Tristian and Serenity. She also just literally made the deck, so she doesn't really know what she has in it. This doesn't excuse her not playing pot of greed or graceful charity but I get why she messed that up.
@@YvaanAvesna to be fair, it makes sense she'd use the cards she's familar with, and in her real deck she has combo plays with those monsters and she maybe was hoping to pull the same things off here.
Girl has the best record in the franchise, No losses, no ties, She clearly tossed pot of Greed and Graceful Charity because it was already too easy, she was forced to follow the script to make sure were all in suspense
Personally, i think Rex deserved more character development. Rex isn't a villain, he's just a guy who likes dinosaurs. It's because he associates with Weevil that he's considered a villain, and that's not fair.
@@scottiemoseley2116 He also got cheated in Battle City. He lost his locator card and rare to a cheat and as far as I can tell never gets either back. He was unfairly booted from the tournament. And arguably also Duelist Kingdom since Joey was an unofficial entry.
@@darksideofevil13 I legit forgot about Espa Roba and his brothers helping him. Kind of wish that Joey took Rex's Serpent Night Dragon from Roba along with Jinzo, and gave it back to Rex whenever they saw each other next. To kind of Mirror how Yugi won his Red-eyes from that Rare Hunter, who was also cheating. This very likely wouldn't work, but i kind of want a "What if" story where Joey surrenders to Rex to wake him up from the Seal's influence, like how he did for Mai, but on purpose instead of passing out during the duel. He throws his Red-Eyes and Claw of Hermos to Rex before the Seal takes him, telling him Red-Eyes is in good hands, and asks him to help Mai. Rex would then Duel Mai, use Hermos on one of his Dino cards, only because it senses Joey's respect for him and let's him use it's power and create a whole new fusion monster, and tell Mai that Joey wanted to apologize for not helping her when she needed him, because season 4 couldn't decide on her character motive. Seeing Rex use Hermos would hopefully snap Mai from the Seal's control, as contrived as that sounds. Unfortunately, he'd lose to Raphael right after, more or less the same way Mai ended up losing to him before his rematch with Atem, and then he usesHermos to beat Raphael, and the season plays out like normal. However, Joey and Rex meet up again, and Rex offer Joey the Red-Eyes, stating it isn't his anymore, and Joey offers him a rematch, without their lives at risk, to win Red-Eyes back. It would be a great way to show their growth as duelists and wrap up Rex's character arc, regardless of the results. Wouldn't have to be onscreen, but preferred so we can see it, unlike Yugi and Joey's duel at the end of season 3. Damn, that was a rant and a half, geez
Something funny I thought about in regards to the hypothetical posed at 10:50: I know Tea would be left with 50 LP and the plot probably wouldn't have allowed Tea to go out like this, but since taking LP damage in this duel causes the player to be encased in ice, taking all of that damage would probably have left Tea so encased in ice that she'd be unable to move so she'd still lose due to being unable to continue. Like I said, the plot DEFINITELY wouldn't have let her go out like this (since losing a duel due to being unable to continue is mainly a Joey thing), but it's still funny to think about
I feel like Noah, despite being a petty little shit, wouldn't allow that to happen. He's interrupted duels before when either party 'cheated' so I doubt he would have it so that Tea can't duel despite still being 'alive'.
I never saw season 3 before I watched the abridged so I genuinely thought Tea lost here and Crump was posing as her in the actual show for the longest time.
@@soukenmarufwt5224That's a dumb reason to hate something. LittleKuriboh knows the show. He just changed something for the sake of comedy. You know that Nail and Kami don't actually speak in Piccolo's head in Dragon Ball, right? That's just an abridged thing. But it's because it's a joke. Don't blame a lack of lore understanding on a parody. Blame it on the people that only watch the parody.
0:52 That was always something that bugged me, usually the Deck Master abilities were usually unique even if the Monster had an effect such as how when Leichter used Jinzo his Trap Destruction effect only worked on his opponent's traps as opposed to how the actual Card renders all Traps unplayable, yet Nightmare Penguin has the exact same effect as it's namesake without any alterations. Seems kind of lazy if you ask me.
Yugi:Wow Tea ya beat Crump. How did ya do it? Tea:Oh I didn't use any of those fancy cards like Pot of Greed or Graceful Charity. Just my spunk and girlish intuition. Yugi:*mortified*Tea remind me to give you some dueling lessons when we get home? Yami:Yugi remind me. Did I ever mind crush her? Cause that may explain something. Yugi:No...unfortunately
Without any volume on, 0:02-0:07 is a bit _sus…_ *_Hey TGS, This reminds me of that one time I saw that Penguin Publishing cutaway from Family Guy._* (cutaway plays).
8:42 Wdym "for me personally"??? This is OBJECIVELY correct! And I'm not even being a great expert on the topic, this is just YuGiOh 101. Even I know having cards in hand is more important than doing a little burn dmg.
Why is the animation in this duel done so well. I can't be the only one wondering thia right? Like everything is drawn on model, everythinv moves very fluidly and everything is really detailed. Why is this duel of all duels animated so well? XD
4:38. This is why I prefer the Dub way of showing the card as: atk, def, level, attribute, and artwork. That way if the effect is different in the show compared to real life, they won't accidentally put the real effect jnstead of the anime one.
Misplays and shenanigans aside, this was a fun duel to watch. I also didn't realize that the effect text of the spell card, Sage's Stone, in the original Japanese version of the show meant to place essentially what is a Dark Magician token on the field in lieu of the iconic monster card. I was lied to by the English dub lol.
0:04 Ok that clip taken out of context looks really bad to some people. The thing is both Tea and Tristan sadly are not competitive duelists like Bakura, Yugi, and Joey. Tea knows how to duel on a basic level but my guess is she has not dueled in a competitive sense and can't really duel under pressure. Then there is Tristan who outright admits he has not dueled for a long time so there is that and he was trying to cover for Serenity since it's her first time dueling. So the thing is barely any of the Big Five or the team ever bring out their Deckmasters knowing it's an immediate loss for them if things go south and so they just opt for using their effects. Nesbit is the only one of the Big Five who actually played big and brought out his Deckmaster and that was more because he used it to bring out his boss monster Perfect Machine King which became his new Deckmaster.
I want to see an alternate universe in which the penguin wins the duel and Tea walks around in a tuxedo and top hat eating raw fish for the rest of the show.
Even if Crump wanted to, he couldn't have won back when Tea had set Skelangel. In the anime, Flying Penguin is a Wind attribute monster, not Water, and the sub specifically stated that in the final part in the duel with Yugi & Joey vs the Big 5. Volt Penguin would have delt 1300 points of damage, Nightmare Penguin would have only delt 900, leaving Tea with 50 life points. Tea summons Maha Vilo, attacks and destroys Nightmare Penguin, and Tea would win due to destroying Crump's Deck Master/Himself. P.S. The next duel in this series should be Aster vs Jaden Rematch in Homecoming Duel.
Love it. Absolutely love it. I love you duel analysis videos. Here are a couple of other suggestions though for future videos DM: Yugi and Kaiba vs Lumis and Umbra Yugi and Joey vs The Big Five Yugi Muto vs Yami Bakura Dawn Of The Dual GX: Jaden vs Chazz Princeton when he was representing North Academy Jaden vs Lyman Banner Jaden vs Aster REMATCH Jaden vs Sartorius Hassleberry vs Jim Jaden vs Viper Jaden and Jessie vs Yasuke Jaden vs Nightshroud 5D’S: Jack vs Carly Yusei, Jack, and Crow vs Rex Goodwin Team 5D’S vs Team Ragnorok Yusei vs Z-ONE Zexal: Yuma vs Vetrix Kite vs Mizar Yuma vs Eliphas Yuma and Nash vs Don Thousand Yuma vs Nash Arc V: Sorra vs Shay Jack vs Sergei Yuya vs Jack Yusho vs Yuri Yuya vs Declan If anyone else also has suggestions, I would (and I’m sure Sam would) love to know them!
Two things I can point out here, for context. The spare cards in Tea's hand were likely not firmly plotted out. It's a mistake the 4Kids version made a lot too, leading to many card choices to seem quite odd. The animators likely just chose random cards they already knew how to draw already to save time and effort. However, 4Kids fixed the "Gust" issue, replacing it with "Mirror Wall" instead. Didn't change the "Pot of Greed," but hey, they tried.
Kind of a bummer Tea didn't have a bigger role in later arcs. She's practically Yugi's Girlfriend yet she does very little through most of the series and as mentioned in this video, does almost no dueling either. How cool would it've been to have Tea want to get into Duel Monsters and have Yugi actually help her learn the rules and build a deck. That could've been a fun way to develop her character and relationship with Yugi.
Tea won 3 duels -First against Joey when he was a newbie and didn't understand the game -Second against Mai who let Tea win the duel to help Yugi -this was the third
@@darkdragon7210 The fact Joey was more of a newbie than even HER. And he stock up his entire deck with all monster cards at first. Even all of us wanted to face palm as we know not to do that.
8:56 In the Anime, LP are also halved, so 800 LP for us is like 1600 damage for the anime. And this is more 1800 or 3600. So yeah, the damage was kinda useful in this scenario, even if the card economy isn't great.
@@roncerjani9063 As he suggested in the video, I'd be MUCH more likely to want to do that in reverse. Pay 1600 LP to banish 2 cards from the opponent's hand, I mean.
It'd be cool to see one of these Duel Analyses for the Team Taiyo vs Team 5Ds. It wasn't dubbed into English, but is still my favourite duel from any series. I imagine 5Ds could have won, or at least, made it impossible for Taiyo to win fairly early, but only with the foresight of knowing what Team Taiyo's plan was all along. Once Thud was summoned, though, I'm not sure 5Ds could have won. I'm pretty sure even the way they did win was by using a card on an illegal target.
Imagine that in this scenario, Marik faces one of the Big 5 and sends that person to the Shadow Realm without any salvation in eternal torment after their duel. 😂
Gotta say, great analysis as always! Here are a few future suggestions: Atem and Kaiba vs Lumis and Umbra Atem and Joey vs The Big 5 Kaiba vs Alister (both rounds if possible) Jaden vs Aster Phoenix (round 2) Aster Phoenix vs Adrian Gecko Jaden vs Darkness (season 4) Yuma and Nash vs Don Thousand Love this series so much! Thanks again!
Thank you for including the website in the description tgs. Yugioh has been fun to watch and play from as far back as I can remember so getting to show how much I like the franchise by wearing a gold plated card like how kiaba always wears a blue eyes around his neck just makes me feel like a top duelist. Glad you got sponsored
@@stinkyroadhog1347 Also helps us root for Tea , since she's a side character we always have an expectation that it doesn't matter if they lose since Yugi will save the day
I recently rewatched the 5ds grand Prix with Team Unicorn, Ragnarok and co., I didn't remember a lot but wow those duels are fire 🔥 Hope to see them analyzed by you some day 👍🏻
11:58 Yeah, but Crump had cards in his hand still. She must've been worried about over-committing by summoning her DMG and having him block the attack by discarding Kuriboh and then managing to destroy it somehow. Yeah...that must be it
This video just popped into my feed and I realized something that I can't unsee. The reason the English dub uses the name Crump is just for a pun of tea and crumpets.
This arc had me full on stressin' because of so many unfair dules because of these fckin weasels lol. Like not these grown men trying to gang up on poor Serenity and Tea who AREN'T DUELISTS because they couldn't handle the consequences of their actions. Then Noah taking out the Kaiba brothers RIGHT as they were about to reach each other? Oh nah if I were in that universe I'd have LAUNCHED myself at him.
I remember how messed up it was in Yugi’s duel with him when he told them, going forward every turn Yugi failed to beat him. He'd turn one of them to stone.
@darksideofevil13 I know people tend to defend Noah with "he was only a kid he didn't know better and was jealous of Yugi's support and the kaiba brothers being a family." That's no excuse to put the group through that kind of trauma. Yugi was also stressing about evil Marik hurting his friends and wanting his power and to take over the world, too, and knew he had to go back and face THAT.
to be fair that Skelegal might have been something with beefy defense like a Mystical Elf instead. summoning the Bolt Penguin to attack it could have caused unnecessary damage in an already back & forth pretty close duel. but he could have summoned it for another direct attack & probably won sooner with Torpedo Penguin's effect.
To be fair, there's that one time that Kaiba didn't activate Pot of Greed during the Battle City Semi Finals duel that's AFTER this arc, so don't be quick to judge
@@Flameblade102Kaiba's a guy, that's why people don't judge him for it. This isn't some social media BS thing, for some reason women are just expected to "prove" their talent/nerd cred in these situations and it's bogus.
Hey, a video focusing on a Big Five duel. All we need now are Yugi vs. Gansley, Joey vs. Johnson, Serenity, Duke, and Tristen vs. Nesbitt, Kaiba vs. Lecter, and Yugi and Joey vs. The Big Five.
Tea is a very underrated character in this series. I just wish she dueled a little bit more. Like maybe make her use like a dancing studio to represent her dream. Then, maybe have some powerful spellcaster monsters as her boss monsters.
The thing I dislike most about the virtual world arc is that all the duelists who had established strategies (which includes Tea since we saw her duel with Mai in Duelist Kingdom and she used a similar strategy), they didn't get a chance to truly experiment with new cards and strategies. They all basically built the decks they had in the regular world.
I love these duel analyses! I'd like to put in a vote for a whole bunch of duels to be analyzed: Jaden vs Atticus Zane vs Atticus Jaden vs Sartorius season 4 Goodwin vs Yusei, Jack, and Crow Team Unicorn vs Team 5ds Team Ragnarok vs Team 5ds Sherry vs Crow and Akiza Aporia vs Jack, Leo, and Luna Antimony vs Yusei Z-one vs Yusei Shark/Nasch vs Yuma all duels
Even if Crump decided to attack skelangel with flying penguin still, summoning bolt penguin would still put Tea down enough LP to where she would lose to the double torpedo penguin attack play. Flying penguin into the set monster from a game standpoint is the correct play since you don't know the stats of the monster, and bolt penguin's stats are low enough even with the nightmare buff that attacking with bolt could risk no damage at all. Crump could have done a slightly more aggressive play that was still safe enough that would have won him the game anyway.
Téa is an Undefeatable duelist. She did barely hang on to the other side and didn’t give up until the end of her. Téa faced her fear, her time has come and gone, Dark Magician Girl helping her carry on. Every duel she was thrown into, she was Undefeatable. The combo of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl is what Téa got when her and Yugi’s decks collided. Crump is just an enemy. He crossed the line, trying to possess her body. Téa almost ran out of time, but took what’s hers and won. Sonic Frontiers song references aside, despite the analyzed misplays, I really enjoyed this standout duel for Téa. I became a Téa fan from it and the duel solidified her as a favorite character of mine. I always come back to these two episodes to relive it and think of how much potential Téa could’ve had, with a few more standout duels of her own like her heroine successors, if she was more involved with the overall plot and was written better.
These are super fun as usual, thanks :) As frustrating as misplays can be when portraying duels between supposedly skilled players, it makes more sense in a duel between amateurs. Although even a total noob would play Pot of Greed 😅
I hope this means we're getting some more Big Five duels, 'cause there's some interesting ones! They have a lot of fun deck master abilities they all use to their advantage... and Crump, as the worst duelist of the lot, picks one that just increases all his monsters' attack by 200.
@@darkdragon7210 Nobody I know plays it anymore. You know how some people are competitive or for fun they play whatever is the popular trend, instead of doing their own deck and way to win. I thought some spellcaster decks without meta cards were great to play with. Like Allure Queen.

I may not like Crump, character wise... But the way the animators go ham on his expressions and character animations, be it serious or comical, it can look really good.
Lesson 1: Tea is an ok duelist.
Lesson 2: The Big Five are terrible duelists.
Lesson 3: Pot of Greed allows you to draw two cards from your deck.
Lesson 4: Graceful Charity allows you to draw three cards from your deck and then discard two from your hand.
Truly difficult material, I know. Better study for when this is on the test.
2 out of 5 of the big five are decent duelists without bullshit deck master abilities (johnson and gansley come to mind as the most bullshit) nezbit and robo cosplayer are decent due to their deck master choices.....
Using one of the worst flip effects of all time and discarding pot of greed for it, instead of just activating pot of greed first to pay the cost does not make you an “ok duelist”.
Lesson 3: Play invalid, I got Disqualified for using such a BROKEN Card during Tournament Play!
Jaden Yuki: THERE'S A TEST?!

One of my favourite duels!
Was Pegasus about to defeat Yugi will be wild if we ever get to that
I honestly remember crump actually winning/pretending to be tea but maybe I got the abridged mixed up with the show
that was 100% YGOTAS
The abridged series has done irreparable damage to the yugioh fanbase
@@number-qx1kw I haven't seen the abridged for years either, I just thought with how bad of an duelist she was, she lost like tristan, my bad
@@lulukomadori9651Actually, all things considered, Tea is a fairly decent duelist
That, combined with Marik appearing during this arc to casually kick Crump out of Tea's head was one of Little Kuriboh's best gags, and the fact that you thought it was in the actual anime makes it even better.
Now to be fair, if Tea played Pot, Graceful, Gemini Elf and beat Crump into the dirt in five minutes, people would rightfully ask why they don't just leave all the duels to Tea instead of Yugi, but to also be fair, pitching Pot of Greed for cost is a criminal offense in Domino City so playing it out as she did, Tea does go to jail now. Do not pass Go, do not collect your draw for turn.
Tea’s incompetent use of Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity are why Kaiba gets away with making it illegal to live in Domino City without owning a deck and having it registered in DSOD. I know that they are separate continuities, but I just imagine that this misplay was such a crime that it affected a different timeline.
being fair, it was a random set of cards, or at last that's how the on-screen one he showed works.
Fun fact: The dub actually replaced the card Gust with Mirror Wall for some reason. It changes literally nothing, so I wonder what the reason was for the change.
Maybe gust was too violent to show? Real human People getting blown away by essentially a tornado/hurricane?
At this point I thinks they just got off changing stuff.
There were lots of cases in the dub where cards weren’t portrayed correctly, one example being Mai’s duel against Yugi in DK, at one point we see she has two copies of Shadow of Eyes on her field when one of those is meant to be Cyber Shield
@@YvaanAvesna My favorite is Yugi vs Strings and there's a part where there's a Remove Trap card where Slifer should be.

3:02 Tea is clearly such a good duellist that she doesn't even need Pot of Greed!
She probably doesn’t know what it does. XD
She said I want a challenge 😂
This is one of the weirdest duels to me but hey it maintained Tea's 100% win rates. So it an automatic 10/10
Tea never loses!
@@tarikkash4282 The True Queen of Games!!!
If you watch Casual Cooper he does A.I. Tournaments using a offline master duel mod. He calls it Master Era but Tea on there rarely lost, she was even ranked #2 under the K.o.G. in the Master Era Universe.
When Tea uses Sage's Stone, the monster zone activates on her duel disk.
As a kid I never noticed that and just assumed Dark Magician cheated.
I always thought that the effect of summoning a Dark Magician from anywhere nearby was only possible in the virtual world.
I like the special-ish relationship between Tea and Dark Magician girl, like the card reincarnation of Atem’s childhood friend and the girl who has a crush on Yugi/Atem despite never meeting each other need to work together
Was Johnson about to declare Joey Guilty?
What Nezbitt about to get a Triple Win?
Was Leichter about to defeat Kaiba? (This one I feel is a definite no)
Did Kuriboh really help Yugi defeat Gansley?
@@MrChillaxin2010 technically yes. Blocked a game ending attack and then was able to be the rainbow bridge that allowed Yami to get the win.
Imagine if Sam does analysis based on YCS matches
"Was Mathew About to Defeat Jesse Kotton"
Leichter would have fared better if he hadn't wasted 2000 on attacking a weak monster, for no damage, that famously comes back anyway.
Leicther was closer to beat Kabia if he didn't over extend. Plus I've done the math of the duel several times to catch a miscalculation or misplay. I thought he had higher life points before he attacked twin headed Behemoth
To be Fair, Tea getting rid of Pot of greed was it being chosen at random but she really should have activated it before flip summoning Fire Sorceress
I mean regardless of random or not she can choose when to activate the flip monster...literally use it then activate the monster

@@samurexatlas7373 mimighoul
It's shocking how bad a duelist Tea actually is portrayed in this duel. She was never an expert or dueling ace but like in her mock duel with Joey and even at times her duel with Mai she least is shown to be semi-competent. Still not good at all but least she can read cards and stuff.
Here it seems like Tea doesn't even know how the game works or what half the cards do.
Battle city Yugioh and Duelist kingdom yugioh are very different games skill wise. All of that aside her duel with Mai was Mai letting her win. Her duel with Joey was before he actually learned from Yugi's grandfather.
She understands the basics and can make simple plays. We see a similar level of skill from Tristian and Serenity. She also just literally made the deck, so she doesn't really know what she has in it. This doesn't excuse her not playing pot of greed or graceful charity but I get why she messed that up.
@@RFDN0She put Petit Angel and Happy Lover in her deck, she’s not a good duelist 🤣
Keep in mind Tea doesn't duel unless it's for fun or she has to. She makes such mistakes because she's still a rookie level duelist.
@@YvaanAvesna to be fair, it makes sense she'd use the cards she's familar with, and in her real deck she has combo plays with those monsters and she maybe was hoping to pull the same things off here.
She's also in a life or death situation, so a lot of pressure. Plus physical discomfort from the cold providing further distraction.
It's funny that they are trying to show a penguin holds cars with his flippers
Tea playing the Sage's Stone and saying "What exactly it does?" will always be my favorite line in this season.
Girl has the best record in the franchise, No losses, no ties, She clearly tossed pot of Greed and Graceful Charity because it was already too easy, she was forced to follow the script to make sure were all in suspense
Tea: *sends pot of greed to the GY*
Also tea: Is not about winning is about sending a message
The ultimate level of disrespect not using graceful charity and pot of greed and still defeats you 😂, especially now that those two cards are banned
Was Rex About To Defeat Joey in the Oricalcos arc would be pretty cool
Before that I would like was Joey about to beat Zigfried?
Personally, i think Rex deserved more character development. Rex isn't a villain, he's just a guy who likes dinosaurs. It's because he associates with Weevil that he's considered a villain, and that's not fair.
@@scottiemoseley2116 Weevil is worse than Rex! WAY worse than Rex!
@@scottiemoseley2116 He also got cheated in Battle City. He lost his locator card and rare to a cheat and as far as I can tell never gets either back. He was unfairly booted from the tournament. And arguably also Duelist Kingdom since Joey was an unofficial entry.
@@darksideofevil13 I legit forgot about Espa Roba and his brothers helping him. Kind of wish that Joey took Rex's Serpent Night Dragon from Roba along with Jinzo, and gave it back to Rex whenever they saw each other next. To kind of Mirror how Yugi won his Red-eyes from that Rare Hunter, who was also cheating.
This very likely wouldn't work, but i kind of want a "What if" story where Joey surrenders to Rex to wake him up from the Seal's influence, like how he did for Mai, but on purpose instead of passing out during the duel.
He throws his Red-Eyes and Claw of Hermos to Rex before the Seal takes him, telling him Red-Eyes is in good hands, and asks him to help Mai.
Rex would then Duel Mai, use Hermos on one of his Dino cards, only because it senses Joey's respect for him and let's him use it's power and create a whole new fusion monster, and tell Mai that Joey wanted to apologize for not helping her when she needed him, because season 4 couldn't decide on her character motive. Seeing Rex use Hermos would hopefully snap Mai from the Seal's control, as contrived as that sounds.
Unfortunately, he'd lose to Raphael right after, more or less the same way Mai ended up losing to him before his rematch with Atem, and then he usesHermos to beat Raphael, and the season plays out like normal.
However, Joey and Rex meet up again, and Rex offer Joey the Red-Eyes, stating it isn't his anymore, and Joey offers him a rematch, without their lives at risk, to win Red-Eyes back.
It would be a great way to show their growth as duelists and wrap up Rex's character arc, regardless of the results. Wouldn't have to be onscreen, but preferred so we can see it, unlike Yugi and Joey's duel at the end of season 3.
Damn, that was a rant and a half, geez
Something funny I thought about in regards to the hypothetical posed at 10:50: I know Tea would be left with 50 LP and the plot probably wouldn't have allowed Tea to go out like this, but since taking LP damage in this duel causes the player to be encased in ice, taking all of that damage would probably have left Tea so encased in ice that she'd be unable to move so she'd still lose due to being unable to continue.
Like I said, the plot DEFINITELY wouldn't have let her go out like this (since losing a duel due to being unable to continue is mainly a Joey thing), but it's still funny to think about
I feel like Noah, despite being a petty little shit, wouldn't allow that to happen. He's interrupted duels before when either party 'cheated' so I doubt he would have it so that Tea can't duel despite still being 'alive'.
@@eriktheos6022 I 100% agree with you there. He's part of the "Plot wouldn't allow it to happen" portion

0:52 That was always something that bugged me, usually the Deck Master abilities were usually unique even if the Monster had an effect such as how when Leichter used Jinzo his Trap Destruction effect only worked on his opponent's traps as opposed to how the actual Card renders all Traps unplayable, yet Nightmare Penguin has the exact same effect as it's namesake without any alterations. Seems kind of lazy if you ask me.
Dark Magician girl had a better effect as a Deck Master than her normal card. They could have rereleased a Deck Master version.

Pot of Greed: Let me tell you what it do!
Tea: Nah, I don't follow the meme
4:38. This is why I prefer the Dub way of showing the card as: atk, def, level, attribute, and artwork. That way if the effect is different in the show compared to real life, they won't accidentally put the real effect jnstead of the anime one.
Misplays and shenanigans aside, this was a fun duel to watch. I also didn't realize that the effect text of the spell card, Sage's Stone, in the original Japanese version of the show meant to place essentially what is a Dark Magician token on the field in lieu of the iconic monster card. I was lied to by the English dub lol.
Hmm that would be a op support card if there was one to love added.
*PENGUUUUINS*
*Creep pleasuring noises
0:04 Ok that clip taken out of context looks really bad to some people. The thing is both Tea and Tristan sadly are not competitive duelists like Bakura, Yugi, and Joey. Tea knows how to duel on a basic level but my guess is she has not dueled in a competitive sense and can't really duel under pressure. Then there is Tristan who outright admits he has not dueled for a long time so there is that and he was trying to cover for Serenity since it's her first time dueling.
So the thing is barely any of the Big Five or the team ever bring out their Deckmasters knowing it's an immediate loss for them if things go south and so they just opt for using their effects. Nesbit is the only one of the Big Five who actually played big and brought out his Deckmaster and that was more because he used it to bring out his boss monster Perfect Machine King which became his new Deckmaster.
I want to see an alternate universe in which the penguin wins the duel and Tea walks around in a tuxedo and top hat eating raw fish for the rest of the show.

I have only one word about this duel....PENGUINS *makes slurping noises*
Even if Crump wanted to, he couldn't have won back when Tea had set Skelangel. In the anime, Flying Penguin is a Wind attribute monster, not Water, and the sub specifically stated that in the final part in the duel with Yugi & Joey vs the Big 5. Volt Penguin would have delt 1300 points of damage, Nightmare Penguin would have only delt 900, leaving Tea with 50 life points. Tea summons Maha Vilo, attacks and destroys Nightmare Penguin, and Tea would win due to destroying Crump's Deck Master/Himself.
P.S. The next duel in this series should be Aster vs Jaden Rematch in Homecoming Duel.
Nightmare Penguin is actually a Wind Attribute monster in the anime so the damage calculations for the first crump victory would be off by 50 LP.

Losing to a duelist who willingly skipped their next draw phase AND banished pot of greed in the same turn for 800 damage is insane.
And then proceeded to have no idea what to do when graceful charity is literally the only card in hand.
@@magicyber909 Hasn't she seen both Pot of Greed & Graceful Charity Played?
@@darkdragon7210she’s DEFINITELY seen pot of greed everyone runs in but graceful charity I’m not too sure
Two things I can point out here, for context. The spare cards in Tea's hand were likely not firmly plotted out. It's a mistake the 4Kids version made a lot too, leading to many card choices to seem quite odd. The animators likely just chose random cards they already knew how to draw already to save time and effort.
However, 4Kids fixed the "Gust" issue, replacing it with "Mirror Wall" instead. Didn't change the "Pot of Greed," but hey, they tried.
Also, "what do my cards do?" was a cop-out 4Kids would use for no reason with some characters (dunno why).
Kind of a bummer Tea didn't have a bigger role in later arcs. She's practically Yugi's Girlfriend yet she does very little through most of the series and as mentioned in this video, does almost no dueling either. How cool would it've been to have Tea want to get into Duel Monsters and have Yugi actually help her learn the rules and build a deck. That could've been a fun way to develop her character and relationship with Yugi.
Would LOVE that!!! Wonder what Rebbeca would say to that?
Better than Tristan. The guy was just there.
Its weird how useless Tea is, yet we had Mai. Mai would have embarrassed Crump if she was dueling him.
I think if the original characters were in a modern anime that is what would happen.

Missed opportunity to refer to Crump's opening hand as "opening Flipper."
8:56 In the Anime, LP are also halved, so 800 LP for us is like 1600 damage for the anime. And this is more 1800 or 3600. So yeah, the damage was kinda useful in this scenario, even if the card economy isn't great.
I still would be reluctant to banish a single card from my hand for 1600 damage in real world, let alone 2
@@roncerjani9063
As he suggested in the video, I'd be MUCH more likely to want to do that in reverse. Pay 1600 LP to banish 2 cards from the opponent's hand, I mean.
It'd be cool to see one of these Duel Analyses for the Team Taiyo vs Team 5Ds. It wasn't dubbed into English, but is still my favourite duel from any series. I imagine 5Ds could have won, or at least, made it impossible for Taiyo to win fairly early, but only with the foresight of knowing what Team Taiyo's plan was all along. Once Thud was summoned, though, I'm not sure 5Ds could have won. I'm pretty sure even the way they did win was by using a card on an illegal target.
I personally think the Virtual World Arc would’ve been better if Marik would’ve been brought with them

Except Team Unicorn, never forgave the duel choreographers for making Andre win 2 duels and give Aki no wins... and Jean for making that stupid play.
Never thought he discuss a duel on Téa VS one of the Big 5 members Crump the Nightmare Penguin.
I still remember how through the whole duel Yugi was at the other side screaming at Tea on how to play and, on this video, it feels extremely funny.
11:58
Yeah, but Crump had cards in his hand still. She must've been worried about over-committing by summoning her DMG and having him block the attack by discarding Kuriboh and then managing to destroy it somehow. Yeah...that must be it
This video just popped into my feed and I realized something that I can't unsee. The reason the English dub uses the name Crump is just for a pun of tea and crumpets.
This arc had me full on stressin' because of so many unfair dules because of these fckin weasels lol. Like not these grown men trying to gang up on poor Serenity and Tea who AREN'T DUELISTS because they couldn't handle the consequences of their actions. Then Noah taking out the Kaiba brothers RIGHT as they were about to reach each other? Oh nah if I were in that universe I'd have LAUNCHED myself at him.
I remember how messed up it was in Yugi’s duel with him when he told them, going forward every turn Yugi failed to beat him. He'd turn one of them to stone.
@darksideofevil13 I know people tend to defend Noah with "he was only a kid he didn't know better and was jealous of Yugi's support and the kaiba brothers being a family." That's no excuse to put the group through that kind of trauma.
Yugi was also stressing about evil Marik hurting his friends and wanting his power and to take over the world, too, and knew he had to go back and face THAT.
Very well said.
to be fair that Skelegal might have been something with beefy defense like a Mystical Elf instead. summoning the Bolt Penguin to attack it could have caused unnecessary damage in an already back & forth pretty close duel. but he could have summoned it for another direct attack & probably won sooner with Torpedo Penguin's effect.
To be fair, there's that one time that Kaiba didn't activate Pot of Greed during the Battle City Semi Finals duel that's AFTER this arc, so don't be quick to judge
They know how powerful it is, they try to save it but get too nervous to use it.

0:02 that penguin is eating good.
The thing I dislike most about the virtual world arc is that all the duelists who had established strategies (which includes Tea since we saw her duel with Mai in Duelist Kingdom and she used a similar strategy), they didn't get a chance to truly experiment with new cards and strategies. They all basically built the decks they had in the regular world.
I am convinced everyone needs to take at least 10 mins to understand pot of greed and 5 mins to explain it in the anime
Tea beat Joey before he learned the game, Mai because she felt bad and surrendered, and a penguin. I’m sorry haters, but she’s her.

The Animation quality in this Duel was off the charts.
Even if Crump decided to attack skelangel with flying penguin still, summoning bolt penguin would still put Tea down enough LP to where she would lose to the double torpedo penguin attack play. Flying penguin into the set monster from a game standpoint is the correct play since you don't know the stats of the monster, and bolt penguin's stats are low enough even with the nightmare buff that attacking with bolt could risk no damage at all. Crump could have done a slightly more aggressive play that was still safe enough that would have won him the game anyway.
The second duel review of the noah arc
Téa is an Undefeatable duelist.
She did barely hang on to the other side and didn’t give up until the end of her. Téa faced her fear, her time has come and gone, Dark Magician Girl helping her carry on. Every duel she was thrown into, she was Undefeatable. The combo of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl is what Téa got when her and Yugi’s decks collided. Crump is just an enemy. He crossed the line, trying to possess her body. Téa almost ran out of time, but took what’s hers and won.
Sonic Frontiers song references aside, despite the analyzed misplays, I really enjoyed this standout duel for Téa. I became a Téa fan from it and the duel solidified her as a favorite character of mine. I always come back to these two episodes to relive it and think of how much potential Téa could’ve had, with a few more standout duels of her own like her heroine successors, if she was more involved with the overall plot and was written better.
I'd say Crumps Mysterious Card Could Be Penguin soldier
That would of been a HORRIBLE misplay XD That penguin, back then, was a MONSTER to deal with XD
These are super fun as usual, thanks :)
As frustrating as misplays can be when portraying duels between supposedly skilled players, it makes more sense in a duel between amateurs. Although even a total noob would play Pot of Greed 😅
Something to remember is Tea could have picked any cards at all for her deck but willingly chose cards like happy lover and ancient elf
Same thing goes for crump. And he had a lot longer to prepare ahead of time.
@@magicyber909 He at least had a strategy and an archetype in the making. Tea just chose the trash cards she recognized with no synergy.
I hope this means we're getting some more Big Five duels, 'cause there's some interesting ones! They have a lot of fun deck master abilities they all use to their advantage... and Crump, as the worst duelist of the lot, picks one that just increases all his monsters' attack by 200.
Wished that real world effect of Magic formula applied to all spellcasters than just Dark Magician and Dark Magician girl.

@@darkdragon7210 maha valo was a good card in early yugioh.
@@the1magageneral323 Is it not good in today's game?
@@darkdragon7210 Nobody I know plays it anymore. You know how some people are competitive or for fun they play whatever is the popular trend, instead of doing their own deck and way to win. I thought some spellcaster decks without meta cards were great to play with. Like Allure Queen.
"Would you let a penguin take over your body?"
Like I'd make that mistake a third time.
