True. And funny because a different field spell supporting the God cards was introduced in an earlier season of GX as well: Mound of the Bound Creator. "Support" even though it made Ra cry. (Thanks 4Kids)
Atticus, like many GX characters, was poorly used. First of all, Alexis should have dueled him in S1 when he was possessed by Nightshroud. He does absolutely nothing in S2, not even trying to save Alexis from the Society of Light, and his trauma from being possessed by Nightshroud isn't explored all that much until S4. If anything, S4 exists to try and repair the damage done by having the show be 100% Jaden focused, and so lots of characters got to have one final chance to shine.
Funny cause Blair was never given a chance to shine at all. If anything she was brought back and the show did nothing for her besides being used for very unfunny jokes. She also never wins a single on screen duel
@@soukenmarufwt5224 That's one of the biggest problems with GX. It doesn't use its time wisely with its characters because the show is 100 percent focused on Jaden doing all the work and being the only plot relevant character.

@@TGSAnime. Hey TGS, I love your videos. Keep up the great work. Also, could you please do a duel analysis of the duel between Don Thousand, Yuma, and Nasch please?
Having seen a solar eclipse earlier this year, i like how the "alternate" duel happens beneath the eclipse. It also melds with the inner darkness stuff, full of visual metaphor this one. Takahashi kept going on about our cards being our heart, and our duels being how we communicate those unsayable feelings so the other can understand. Good duel.
I love the direction this duel went. This is such a unique duel showing one possible future and ultimately the plot twist that the duel didn't end yet. Plus I loved Atticus duelling here. Shows how he is one of the best of the best in Duel Academia.
@@darkphoenix2745And not even gaslit, like Sam said, it was actual BS. They pull the "Bites the Dust" reverse 5 turns/illusion scenario nonsense to show "no but actually you lose" *even though Atticus wouldn't have lost* . They screwed over a cool moment for an underutilized character by showing us and then taking away the ending for an ending that wouldn't have even happened. Like playing out a nail biter 60 seconds of back and forth football/soccer only for the score to end in a tie...only for the refs to come out, reset the score and state of play to the 60 second mark, play it as sudden death, have one dude kick, completely whiff the goal into the stands, and it whistled a point and game over.
@@michaelkarimian7538 and even then, her victory against Joey was only because he never got a chance to recover from Valon literally beating the mess out of him.
@@Yojimbo16Exactly! It wasn’t a clean win, but extremely circumstantial. Mai deserved better in the later seasons of Yugioh, at least so she could redeem herself after season 4.
I'd like to see a review of Jack Leo and Luna vs Aporia, it's similar to the paradox duel and there were many wasted turns where the Twins were too afraid to do anything.
well, i wouldn’t say twins and more so luna whereas leo was trying to do too much and was costing the team life points and resources by not being thoughtful in his early plays
@@sunnienellyI wouldn't say leo wasn't thoughtful. That duel was just rigged against him. Like the baddie had a battle trick set. Not even a normal one that boosts his own bois. One that effects opponents monsters that already performed a battle trick. That like 3 levels of contrived. It comes across less like leo was being dumb. More like the guy had stupidly targeted plot armor
I'd say it was balanced out by Aporia purposely keeping them alive, because his goal was to make them see his point of view by having them succumb to despair, making them surrender and save their lives in the process, and he did this to the point of making purposely wasteful moves (such as giving his weakest monster piercing damage) to micro-manage their LP. Depleting their LP and killing them was only a plan B. If he had just focused on dueling and done the right thing in reducing their numbers, he easily would've won even if Leo hadn't skipped a turn (of course, I am saying this without knowledge of Luna's cards. She had so many unknown cards left in her hand...).
Yea these are so cool I've watched em all mutiple times and dis 1 jus what n da world was going on lol ive nvr seen season 4 of gx looks cool tho. Red eyes can't ever get a win lol
@@relicdad88 season 4 & the final episode of season 3 were never dubbed, but basically Jaden began distancing himself from his friends because he thought he was dangerous to them.
Even if it did get dubbed, 4kids will ruin all the important context explaining what’s really going on, as they always had when it comes to this franchise when they dive into serious topics (ie “sent to the shadow realm”)…
Is fun but Atticus' trump card was milled at the start of the duel, that winged dragon spell allows him to return a lv 7 or higher dragon to the hand to destroy all the oponnent's backrow. That would destroy clear world giving him way better odds.
Yes, Atticus Should've Forced the DRAW on Turn 7................ IF HE SET RED-EYES BURN ON HIS FIRST TURN! Turn 1: Yusuke plays Clear Phantom and sets Memory Snatcher. Turn 2: Atticus destroys it with Red-Eyes Wyvern (Yusuke's LP= 3600). Then he sets Offensive Guard. Atticus loses Red-Eyes Wyvern, A Wingbeat Of Giant Dragons, Dragon Heart and Red-Eyes Black Dragon from the top of his deck. Yusuke Activates Memory Snatcher. ATTICUS SETS RED-EYES BURN (The smart play because it is a Trap Card, and it can force a draw if needed). Turn 3: Yusuke plays clear rage Golem and attacks causing Atticus to play Offensive Guard and draw Dragon's Breath (Atticus now takes less damage because his hand has one less card in it. (Atticus's LP= 2000). --------------- Turn 4: Atticus draws Swing Of Memories. He normal Summons Hunter Dragon and plays Swing Of Memories to revive Red-Eyes Black Dragon. He attacks with both for 2700 Damage. (Yusuke's LP= 700). He sets Dragon's Breath. Turn 5: Yusuke draws Clear World. He plays Clear Vice Dragon, and attacks... Atticus plays Dragons Breath using Hunter Dragon. Clear Vice Dragon negates it (by discarding Attribute Mastery), resulting in Hunter Dragon getting destroyed and Atticus taking 1700 Damage (Atticus's LP= 300). Clear Vice Dragon changes to defence mode. He sets Nihilistic Summoning Method. Turn 6: Atticus draws a Mysterious card (I suppose, Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon). He uses Red-Eyes Wyvern to revive Red-Eyes Black Dragon in Defence Mode and passes turn. Turn 7: Yusuke is an idiot for activating both of his equip spells in the fake timeline because you have to destroy Red-Eyes by battle to inflict Burn damage through Attribute Bomb and the Attribute Mastery card destroys it without applying damage calculation, which means it was destroyed by card effect. Yusuke equips Attribute Bomb to Clear Vice Dragon, uses Nihilistic Summoning to bring out Clear Rage Golem, and destroys Red-Eyes.... Atticus activates Red-Eyes Burn to end the duel in a DRAW. Rulings: Because Red-Eyes Burn comes after Attribute Bomb in the chain, it resolves first, thus both players lose LP equal to Red-Eyes Black dragon's Attack (Clear Vice Dragon cannot negate this as Red-Eyes Burn does not threaten to destroy Clear Vice Dragon). So yeah... Atticus should've gotten his DRAW state whether the Mind Hax was involved or not!!!
Nice idea, but on turn 5, why would he attack Hunter Dragon over Red Eyes, Attacking RBD would have won him the duel also the way burst breath works is the target should still leave the field even though it was negated Edit, I forgot that swing of memories sends the monster to the graveyard at the end of the turn
I dont blame Atticus for not summoning Hunter Dragon in turn 4 at least, since he wanted to revive RedEyes. He could not have known his opponent would do more damage that way. (also Attribute Bomb clearly worked differently because it still inflicted the damage in the anime) No excuse for him not setting RedEyes Burn right away tho, even if he did not want a draw.
@@Amitlu Maybe he was scouting whether Yosuke had any back row removal, just guessing, but yeah he should have summoned Wyvern attacked Clear Phantom, Yosuke takes 600 damage, Ability is activated destroying Wyvern and milling the top 3 cards of his deck, Atticus I set 2 cards face down and end my turn, Sadly no he held onto Red Eyes Burn for some reason
@@The_Glazer no, I think he said something about why in his altered beast video. He's mainly doing game reviews. Quite interesting for the games he does cover
@@RodimusMinor1987 While Blue-Eyes, Dark Magician are a bunch of outdated Normal bricks but knows EXACTLY what they want to do during the duel: BE: Victory DM: Defense Red-Eyes on the other hand is the embodiment of being too experimental on too many game mechanics that doesn’t flow into one another for a proper synergy or have an end goal win condition. And it’s all due to it being “potentially playable”. But being “potentially playable” doesn’t help when your opponent already has a planned out endgame before the duel began…
@@markmorales7958 yeah most of the red eyes are either used as fusion material or do burn damage, and usually leave players saying "now what" after painfully did all Black eyes combo while they can do dragonlink instead.
10:30 personal opinion: I think thematically, I’m going to say it’s Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. It was a card he used while corrupted by Nightshroud/Darkness, with Yusuke now under the same effects. Since Atticus wanted a draw, summoning that card would not allow Inferno Fire Blast to activate. It needs the OG Red-Eyes to activate (fun fact: using Red Eyes Fusion to treat a Red Eyes Fusion Monster as the OG Red Eyes does work)
"Not summoning a monster is an option here" That depends. If Clear Rage Golems effect depends on dealing battle damage, then yes. If it activates when it attacks directly and the attack is not negated, it's burn effect would end the duel. Personally, I always thought that is why You's ke chose Rage Golem over Phantom. There are cards where the tribute is part of the effect, not the cost. Although in that case, the wording "when your opponent activates an effect that would destroy this card" becomes dubious since the effect only determines whether it would destroy Clear Vice after the sacrifice. Not sure about the official ruling in this case. So, the difference between how the vision went and how the duel would have continued if Red-Eyes had been sacrificed is that Clear Vice is still on the board. Yusuke could have summoned Rage Golem to attack directly if that does inflict damage as mentioned above. Other than that, if Red Eyes is in attack mode for the final play with Red-Eyes Burn, Yusuke would still win because Clear Vice would finish the life points through battle damage before Red-Eyes Burn could be activated (not that it would make any sense to summon Red Eyes in attack there). Fubuki's mysterious card? Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon. The unsummonable anime version.
Something of an off-topic tangent, but an associate pointed out, during Camula's run, that Zane seemed flabbergasted when confronted with Illusion Gate's effect, claiming that a card so powerful had to have drawbacks. But that had us wondering; Illusion Gate seems plainly an unofficial card, right? Its craving for souls reflected the Phantom Beast's, not the actual card game, insinuating they or their acolytes created it themselves. In that case, if they are creating cards for the Shadow Riders to wield, why enact any drawback? Why not just make it an instant win condition, or otherwise classically impossible to beat? Are they so hungry for souls they forget the easy solution- or have at least some sense of game integrity? I mean Ziegfried's deal was tricking the system into accepting Golden Castle despite how blatantly overpowered it was, so the Shadow Riders could've done something similar. Camula wouldn't need to play around soul hostages in that case, just toss the card out and easy win. Made an interesting muse.
Basically she needed the souls for personal motives which she explains in her duel against Jaden that she needs to them create an army to restore the vampires and you could say there is a cost for using Shadow Charms as they aren't as strong as the Millenium Items in enacting Shadow Duels.
I always assumed that duel energy only gets released during the play. Thus an instant win would be useless since their collection of soul crap requires duel energy to function. It also kinda tracks as to why they never play FTK or instant beat down, they always play decks that grind their opponents down slowly over time from my recollection.
@@ES-dp6tw That and the Shadow Charms used by later Shadow Riders after Camila are also anchors that lets them exist in reality let alone give them a physical human form to duel in. So in a sense the Shadow Riders also have their own rules to play by.
When Atticus activated his Burst Breath in the final turn, it should tribute Red-Eyes as cost, even when it negated, meaning Atticus wouldnt lose to Vice Dragon
The writers don't know anything about YGO. A meta player can write better duels. The writers think cost happens only if the card resolves, battle damage happens after monster is destroyed (it's why Jaden didn't lose the first duel with Crowler), and writers not understanding how cards works. They are literally incompetent and can't write a Duel that isn't caveman era beatdown strategy
@@negate-07 Well, in the anime, Kaiba used it against Gozaburo. His dragon was tributed, then the destruction effect was activated, so this duel is the odd one. It should've been a draw. But we won't have a dub version of the season, so everyone who cares is sad :)
Fujiwara was a very good villain and my favourite one from GX. The scene where it seemed like Atticus and Fujiwara both lost but it never really happened was insane
@@rainbowdragon168 Just that the dialogue of a nihilistic character is a lot less subtle and lacks much adversity against the heroes Just something that’s easy to be overcome and it doesn’t feel very satisfying to defeat such people
Love a trap card that keeps you from looking into people graveyards. The only card we have like that that I know of is question, and what you’re not allowed to check before you guess.
He's probably doing this because the Clear World cards were finally announced recently, but I still find it funny that I rewatched this duel and was hoping for TGS to make a video on it so he could say, "Shenanigans!"
I remember watching this duel a long while ago and that repeat thing always confused me, so thank you a million times for clearing that up. That Clear Vice Dragon is really op. It still burns me up that Yugioh gx season 4 was never dubbed. For a few future duels to analyze here’s a few: Atem and Kaiba vs Lumis and Umbra Kaiba vs Alister (both rounds if possible) Aster Phoenix vs Adrian Gecko Aster Phoenix vs Jaden (round 2) Jaden vs Darkness (Season 4) Yuma and Nash vs Don Thousand Again I can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into these videos. Infinite out of 10
Memory Snatcher has always intrigued me from the artwork to the effect. I'm not really sure how this would do in the actual game. Considering nowadays the GY is your second hand. Then again traps are too slow for most decks.
Me too, but it would just break the game in a playable perspective. How someone should take out a card without seeing other cards. And then the first "guess" would let you memorize it again and again. A possible way would be to say the order of the card ( 22th card / 3th last) but that would certainly to broken Powerbudget wise. I would see the actual effect be kinda balanced to remember what you play and why, that's the point that you know how to pilot the deck( of course checking is good because not everyone have a photo mind/is normal ) but I don't remember the order if I search, special, shuffle in the deck. BUT IF, only on master Duel/ online.
@@dommaster661 My guess is that it would either require a judge to be there (which would be a pain for them) or require the opponent to be honest (not likely), so the card would just be banned from tournaments.
I've seen all your duel analyses. I've watched the entire DM series, most of GX (not this duel), and small pieces of 5Ds and Zexal. This is the only time I've ever been stunned speechless, jaw-dropped from watching these. Both because of the duel itself, and your presentation. Amazing work! Also, is there any possibility of Yugi/Kaiba v Lumis/Umbra in Battle City? 2v2 duels tend to be real spectacles, after all! Same with Yugi/Joey v Big Five in Virtual World.
This duel still grinds my gears to this day, because Nasch straight up cheats twice to beat IV (chaining a card to an instant win condition, and then using C101 Dark Knight to attack the same turn it was brought back from the graveyard by its revive effect)
@@tyfellwind9398 Two things I'd like to point out that potentially dispel both cheating accusations: 1) In the matter of the instant win condition, Nasch can simply flip Overlay Award at the end of IV's Main Phase and use its effect to reattach a material to C88 before the End Phase occurs. Since C88 can only use its burn effect once per turn, Overlay Award is an effective safeguard against the former's win condition. 2) The restriction that prevents C101 from attacking the same turn it revives itself does not exist in its anime counterpart. See Nasch vs. Yuma on Turn 3 for proof, because Nasch does it there too and is legal in the anime.
@@cameraredeye3115 IV had already announced he ended his turn and the IK attack was already activated and in the process of resolving though. Nasch would have had to immediately use Award after the 4k burn to avoid it. But, anime has lots of shenanigans, been cheating since the DM era. This duel in particular just bugs me because IV deserved that win
The tradition of Konami always shafting Red-eyes players started all the way back then? What a surprise. (aside, I had no idea that red-eyes burn and wyvern were actually played on screen before, I always thought those support cards existed in a vacuum and added some random time after GX, so it was cool to see this for the first time)
Red-Eyes has always been shafted. Remember, its very first appearance involved it jobbing to _Time Wizard,_ and in the next few duels it got stomped by Dragon Zombie and then wasn't allowed to move in the Labyrinth Wall.
Oooo I was really hoping you'll do this duel, it is one of the biggest "WTF" moments in YGO history. I don't remember if there was a hint that Tusuke had the power to just show us an alterative play the duel could of gone
I'd love to still see some of Sartorius' duels, or the rematch between Jaden and Aster. But to keep rotating series, I'd like to see the duel between Team 5d's and Team Unicorn.
Just for the sake of argument, I will point out: The original printing of the Burst Breath card actually did not have tributing as a cost. It was erratad in 2005, which is still a while before this episode airs, but Ithey might have been worried about consistency issues since it was a card that Kaiba also used at one point. That might be the reasoning behind what happens if someone's a stickler for the shenanigans :p
I'm not so sure if the consistency was their worry, seeing as how they had fixed the Magic Cylinder issue by this point. When Yugi used Magic Cylinder in Battle City, it was treated as redirecting an attack back at the opponent's monster. When Cyrus used it in season 1, it was treated as the proper effect; negating the attack and causing effect damage.
Omg, finally another a season 4 duel! And this is probably the top 4 in season 4 of GX. GX season 4 is a rare treasure in society. I highly recommend watching it.
Right off the bat, I notice one similarity (or rather a few) between this duel and another (very memorable) duel from DM, given the respective end results: - Atticus uses Red-Eyes which is emblematic of (though not used by) Joey Wheeler. - The stakes are very high given the point in the story of the arcs during which the duels take place. - Shenanigans on the part of the antagonist (Yusuke manipulating memories; Marik messing around in the Shadow Realm) - The respective hero characters shoulda coulda woulda won were it not for certain circumstances. This duel in GX felt very much like the equivalent of the infamous DM duel where Joey got completely screwed over. Man, Atticus had it rough during what could be considered his path to full redemption (kinda). Now I want both Yusuke and Atticus in Duel Links....!
For the challenge in 3:50 It is as follows: Wingbeat of a Giant Dragon, Dragon heart, Red eyes black dragon, and Red Eyes Wyvern. The first three cards are from Clear phantom's effect in the reverse order of Atticus sending them to the graveyard (Red eyes Black Dragon, Dragon Heart, Wingbeat of a Giant Dragon.) then Red Eyes Wyvern is last because it is the monster that was destroyed via Clear phantom's effect since Wyvern destroyed it.
I'm just imaging all of the Clear related puns and jokes they'd make in the dub of this and now I want that even more. That should've been part of the anniversary.
So correct me if I'm worry, but couldn't Atticus has have drawn the duel the turn before Clear World was activated had he set Red-Eyes Burn the turn before? Burn says "when it's destroyed by battle or card effect" not "opponent's card effect", so if he had set it on the previous turn, Swing of Memories to bring it can then normal summon Hunter Dragon, attack with both then when Red-Eyes is destroyed by Swing of Memories, activate Red-Eyes Burn and draw the duel there.
19:07 Well checking the card Wikia where the text of this card is translated, it seems that tributing is part of the effect rather than a cost. That really screw Atticus :/
I have the flu, and haven’t seen this episode. So when you pulled the time-reverse; my sleep-deprived brain was just absolutely baffled, and your repeat-commentary just made it crazier haha
Now that the Clear archetype is finally getting printed in Animation Chronicle 2024, we just need those Attribute support cards and more Clear support cards to be printed in future packs 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This has been on my mind for so long. It’s about Arc-V where in the cooking duel S1, if someone had change the order in how they activated their cards, then they could have won
@@TGSAnime out of curiosity, how close are you in working on the number archetype? We got some more support announcements for it recently (rage of the abyss, and duelists of brilliance)
3:53 I’m unsure what you mean by reverse order, but earliest card should be wingbeat of giant dragon, then dragon heart, then red eyes black dragon, then red eyes wyvern. That or the reverse for the first 3 and then red eyes wyvern
for the question asked at 3:55 from top card to bottom card: Red-Eyes Wyvern Winged Beat of a Giant Dragon Dragon Heart Red-Eyes Black Dragon Reverse Order of Graveyard: Red-Eyes Black Dragon Dragon Heart Winged Beat of Giant Dragon Red-Eyes Wyvern Correct LEGAL Order from top to bottom: Red-Eyes Wyvern Red-Eyes Black Dragon Dragon Heart Winged Beat of Giant Dragon The reasoning for this is the duel disk cycled the cards from last one milled to the first one. This means even though legal order was Winged Beat, Dragon Heart and REBD.. The REBD will be cycled first due to how the duel disk takes the cards from the loading zone to the Graveyard, and does not load in the chronological order milled by the effects in question.
The whole nihilism vs individualism motif is basically what third impact from End Of Evangelion was conveying underneath all that mountain of symbolism
Yusuke or rather Nightshroud is basically a Persona villain, cast aside your individuality and live in bliss in my eternal world of darkness. This would've worked so much better if Darkness wasn't introduced as a complete walkover style villain from the moment he was introduced.
Here’s a possible suggestion. YGO 5D’s, Jack Atlus vs Dragan of Team Ragnarok. The idea is that this is a grudge match as we find out Dragan fought Jack and lost before the events of the start of the show. However, the duel was fixed so that Dragan had to lose so he could win some money for his dad’s hospital bills. What makes their rematch interesting is that it not only calls into play Jack’s legitimacy as a duelist, but both he and Dragan actually start with the exact same cards as before
At that point in the duel, the reverse order was: a wing beat of giant dragon, dragon heart, red eyes black dragon, and red eyes wyvern is at the bottom since it was sent first
I loved the speech Atticus gave where he apologised for not being there for Fujiwara and was willing to go into Darkness if they could spend time together again 😀😀
First, if Atticus ever played Red-Eyes in defense position, he could stall out without the risk. Inferno Fire Blast, Burst Breath, and Red-eyes Burn don’t need him in attack position. Should’ve used Swing of memories and hunter dragon on the same turn too. Second, I’m pretty sure Fujiwara did reverse time. You can tell by the reactions of Jaiden and Jessie when the field came back, and they were standing in different positions when Clear Vice Dragon attacked the second time. Also, what Fujiwara did to Atticus, 3:30 used the darkness to give him what he wanted in his heart. He resented his time as Nightshoud, and wanted to forget it, and because he associated Red-eyes with Nightshroud, both were erased from his memory. But that wasn’t the true darkness in his heart. At the end of the duel Atticus admitted that his biggest regret was that he couldn’t save Yusuke. with that in mind Fujiwara used that darkness to give Atticus what he really wanted, for Fujiwara to live, and for Atticus to be the one lost instead. Third, …bro the pronunciation of Yusuke killed me everytime😭
I felt so proud picking up on the burst breath misplay when watching. Learned a lot from these videos. BTW, at the final turn, the gy should have: Burst Breath Swing of Memories Offensive Guard A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon Dragon Heart

@@darkphoenix2745And not even gaslit, like Sam said, it was actual BS. They pull the "Bites the Dust" reverse 5 turns/illusion scenario nonsense to show "no but actually you lose" *even though Atticus wouldn't have lost* .
They screwed over a cool moment for an underutilized character by showing us and then taking away the ending for an ending that wouldn't have even happened. Like playing out a nail biter 60 seconds of back and forth football/soccer only for the score to end in a tie...only for the refs to come out, reset the score and state of play to the 60 second mark, play it as sudden death, have one dude kick, completely whiff the goal into the stands, and it whistled a point and game over.
@@Mrryn So true bro.
Atticus is the Mai Valentine of the GX Universe. A supposed top duelist that never wins.
She's a good duelist, only when she faces generic duelists! This why why most Shonen anime don't how how to write good females!
What about her duel against Jean-Claude Van Magnum?
@@Yojimbo16I believe that was her last clear victory until her duel with Joey in season 4. The writers really did her dirty in that season.
@@michaelkarimian7538 and even then, her victory against Joey was only because he never got a chance to recover from Valon literally beating the mess out of him.
@@Yojimbo16Exactly! It wasn’t a clean win, but extremely circumstantial. Mai deserved better in the later seasons of Yugioh, at least so she could redeem herself after season 4.
I'd like to see a review of Jack Leo and Luna vs Aporia, it's similar to the paradox duel and there were many wasted turns where the Twins were too afraid to do anything.
I agree
well, i wouldn’t say twins and more so luna whereas leo was trying to do too much and was costing the team life points and resources by not being thoughtful in his early plays
Ruka wasn’t afraid. She was in too much pain.
@@sunnienellyI wouldn't say leo wasn't thoughtful. That duel was just rigged against him. Like the baddie had a battle trick set. Not even a normal one that boosts his own bois. One that effects opponents monsters that already performed a battle trick. That like 3 levels of contrived.
It comes across less like leo was being dumb. More like the guy had stupidly targeted plot armor
I'd say it was balanced out by Aporia purposely keeping them alive, because his goal was to make them see his point of view by having them succumb to despair, making them surrender and save their lives in the process, and he did this to the point of making purposely wasteful moves (such as giving his weakest monster piercing damage) to micro-manage their LP. Depleting their LP and killing them was only a plan B. If he had just focused on dueling and done the right thing in reducing their numbers, he easily would've won even if Leo hadn't skipped a turn (of course, I am saying this without knowledge of Luna's cards. She had so many unknown cards left in her hand...).

If I have to guess then the mysterious card that Atticus drew is Cave Dragon.
The alternate timeline thing you did had no right being that good!! Thanks again for the awesome video!
Is fun but Atticus' trump card was milled at the start of the duel, that winged dragon spell allows him to return a lv 7 or higher dragon to the hand to destroy all the oponnent's backrow. That would destroy clear world giving him way better odds.
Yes, Atticus Should've Forced the DRAW on Turn 7................ IF HE SET RED-EYES BURN ON HIS FIRST TURN!
Turn 1: Yusuke plays Clear Phantom and sets Memory Snatcher.
Turn 2: Atticus destroys it with Red-Eyes Wyvern (Yusuke's LP= 3600). Then he sets Offensive Guard. Atticus loses Red-Eyes Wyvern, A Wingbeat Of Giant Dragons, Dragon Heart and Red-Eyes Black Dragon from the top of his deck. Yusuke Activates Memory Snatcher. ATTICUS SETS RED-EYES BURN (The smart play because it is a Trap Card, and it can force a draw if needed).
Turn 3: Yusuke plays clear rage Golem and attacks causing Atticus to play Offensive Guard and draw Dragon's Breath (Atticus now takes less damage because his hand has one less card in it. (Atticus's LP= 2000).
---------------
Turn 4: Atticus draws Swing Of Memories. He normal Summons Hunter Dragon and plays Swing Of Memories to revive Red-Eyes Black Dragon. He attacks with both for 2700 Damage. (Yusuke's LP= 700). He sets Dragon's Breath.
Turn 5: Yusuke draws Clear World. He plays Clear Vice Dragon, and attacks... Atticus plays Dragons Breath using Hunter Dragon. Clear Vice Dragon negates it (by discarding Attribute Mastery), resulting in Hunter Dragon getting destroyed and Atticus taking 1700 Damage (Atticus's LP= 300).
Clear Vice Dragon changes to defence mode. He sets Nihilistic Summoning Method.
Turn 6: Atticus draws a Mysterious card (I suppose, Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon). He uses Red-Eyes Wyvern to revive Red-Eyes Black Dragon in Defence Mode and passes turn.
Turn 7: Yusuke is an idiot for activating both of his equip spells in the fake timeline because you have to destroy Red-Eyes by battle to inflict Burn damage through Attribute Bomb and the Attribute Mastery card destroys it without applying damage calculation, which means it was destroyed by card effect.
Yusuke equips Attribute Bomb to Clear Vice Dragon, uses Nihilistic Summoning to bring out Clear Rage Golem, and destroys Red-Eyes....
Atticus activates Red-Eyes Burn to end the duel in a DRAW.
Rulings: Because Red-Eyes Burn comes after Attribute Bomb in the chain, it resolves first, thus both players lose LP equal to Red-Eyes Black dragon's Attack
(Clear Vice Dragon cannot negate this as Red-Eyes Burn does not threaten to destroy Clear Vice Dragon).
So yeah... Atticus should've gotten his DRAW state whether the Mind Hax was involved or not!!!
Nice idea, but on turn 5, why would he attack Hunter Dragon over Red Eyes, Attacking RBD would have won him the duel also the way burst breath works is the target should still leave the field even though it was negated
Edit, I forgot that swing of memories sends the monster to the graveyard at the end of the turn
Slight correction; Turn 5, Hunter dragon getting tributed would make Clear Vice's atk 0.
@@AnonEcho98 True, but because Red-Eyes wasn't tributed I didn't tribute Hunter Dragon either.
I dont blame Atticus for not summoning Hunter Dragon in turn 4 at least, since he wanted to revive RedEyes. He could not have known his opponent would do more damage that way.
(also Attribute Bomb clearly worked differently because it still inflicted the damage in the anime)
No excuse for him not setting RedEyes Burn right away tho, even if he did not want a draw.
@@Amitlu
Maybe he was scouting whether Yosuke had any back row removal, just guessing, but yeah he should have summoned Wyvern attacked Clear Phantom, Yosuke takes 600 damage, Ability is activated destroying Wyvern and milling the top 3 cards of his deck, Atticus I set 2 cards face down and end my turn, Sadly no he held onto Red Eyes Burn for some reason

@@RodimusMinor1987
While Blue-Eyes, Dark Magician are a bunch of outdated Normal bricks but knows EXACTLY what they want to do during the duel:
BE: Victory
DM: Defense
Red-Eyes on the other hand is the embodiment of being too experimental on too many game mechanics that doesn’t flow into one another for a proper synergy or have an end goal win condition. And it’s all due to it being “potentially playable”. But being “potentially playable” doesn’t help when your opponent already has a planned out endgame before the duel began…
@@markmorales7958 yeah most of the red eyes are either used as fusion material or do burn damage, and usually leave players saying "now what" after painfully did all Black eyes combo while they can do dragonlink instead.

@@dragoscristea7827 Apparently, you don't understand the joke!
@@tarikkash4282 No. because YuYu Hakusho and Yu-Gi-Oh are different anime
10:30 personal opinion: I think thematically, I’m going to say it’s Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. It was a card he used while corrupted by Nightshroud/Darkness, with Yusuke now under the same effects. Since Atticus wanted a draw, summoning that card would not allow Inferno Fire Blast to activate. It needs the OG Red-Eyes to activate (fun fact: using Red Eyes Fusion to treat a Red Eyes Fusion Monster as the OG Red Eyes does work)
You mean Inferno Fire Blast? Since Red-Eyes Burn activates if ANY Red-Eyes monster is destroyed
Lmao, yeah. Idk why that’s what came up as I typed… or did I activate the illusion of Clear World? 😈
Good point
3:51 - the cards, I think are:
A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon
Dragon Heart
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
Red-Eyes Wyvern
Hopefully Im correct
"Not summoning a monster is an option here" That depends. If Clear Rage Golems effect depends on dealing battle damage, then yes. If it activates when it attacks directly and the attack is not negated, it's burn effect would end the duel. Personally, I always thought that is why You's ke chose Rage Golem over Phantom.
There are cards where the tribute is part of the effect, not the cost. Although in that case, the wording "when your opponent activates an effect that would destroy this card" becomes dubious since the effect only determines whether it would destroy Clear Vice after the sacrifice. Not sure about the official ruling in this case.
So, the difference between how the vision went and how the duel would have continued if Red-Eyes had been sacrificed is that Clear Vice is still on the board. Yusuke could have summoned Rage Golem to attack directly if that does inflict damage as mentioned above. Other than that, if Red Eyes is in attack mode for the final play with Red-Eyes Burn, Yusuke would still win because Clear Vice would finish the life points through battle damage before Red-Eyes Burn could be activated (not that it would make any sense to summon Red Eyes in attack there).
Fubuki's mysterious card? Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon. The unsummonable anime version.
Something of an off-topic tangent, but an associate pointed out, during Camula's run, that Zane seemed flabbergasted when confronted with Illusion Gate's effect, claiming that a card so powerful had to have drawbacks. But that had us wondering; Illusion Gate seems plainly an unofficial card, right? Its craving for souls reflected the Phantom Beast's, not the actual card game, insinuating they or their acolytes created it themselves.
In that case, if they are creating cards for the Shadow Riders to wield, why enact any drawback? Why not just make it an instant win condition, or otherwise classically impossible to beat? Are they so hungry for souls they forget the easy solution- or have at least some sense of game integrity? I mean Ziegfried's deal was tricking the system into accepting Golden Castle despite how blatantly overpowered it was, so the Shadow Riders could've done something similar. Camula wouldn't need to play around soul hostages in that case, just toss the card out and easy win.
Made an interesting muse.
Basically she needed the souls for personal motives which she explains in her duel against Jaden that she needs to them create an army to restore the vampires and you could say there is a cost for using Shadow Charms as they aren't as strong as the Millenium Items in enacting Shadow Duels.
@@VanishEclipse4867 Interesting. Appreciate the response
I always assumed that duel energy only gets released during the play. Thus an instant win would be useless since their collection of soul crap requires duel energy to function. It also kinda tracks as to why they never play FTK or instant beat down, they always play decks that grind their opponents down slowly over time from my recollection.
@@zacheymczachface So akin to Marik drawing out games to savour the extra darkness? Interesting.
@@ES-dp6tw That and the Shadow Charms used by later Shadow Riders after Camila are also anchors that lets them exist in reality let alone give them a physical human form to duel in. So in a sense the Shadow Riders also have their own rules to play by.
When Atticus activated his Burst Breath in the final turn, it should tribute Red-Eyes as cost, even when it negated, meaning Atticus wouldnt lose to Vice Dragon
cards aren't 1:1 replicates from their anime counterparts
It moments like this that reminds me that GX duel writers sometimes didn’t know the more complex part of the game
Read the comment above yours@@Zeronigel332
The writers don't know anything about YGO.
A meta player can write better duels.
The writers think cost happens only if the card resolves, battle damage happens after monster is destroyed (it's why Jaden didn't lose the first duel with Crowler), and writers not understanding how cards works. They are literally incompetent and can't write a Duel that isn't caveman era beatdown strategy
@@negate-07 Well, in the anime, Kaiba used it against Gozaburo. His dragon was tributed, then the destruction effect was activated, so this duel is the odd one. It should've been a draw. But we won't have a dub version of the season, so everyone who cares is sad :)
3:52 My answer: From top to bottom: Wingbeat of Giant Dragon, Dragon heart, Red Eyes B. Dragon, Red Eyes Wyvern.
Fujiwara was a very good villain and my favourite one from GX. The scene where it seemed like Atticus and Fujiwara both lost but it never really happened was insane
I found him cringey and annoyingly cliche.
Especially in modern times as his archetype character is used as a straw man.
@@TheKpa11 What does the last part of your comment mean?

I literally just rewatched every analysis video.
Good work as always
Love a trap card that keeps you from looking into people graveyards. The only card we have like that that I know of is question, and what you’re not allowed to check before you guess.
The fact that this wasn't dubbed is a real buzz kill on many levels
He's probably doing this because the Clear World cards were finally announced recently, but I still find it funny that I rewatched this duel and was hoping for TGS to make a video on it so he could say, "Shenanigans!"
I remember watching this duel a long while ago and that repeat thing always confused me, so thank you a million times for clearing that up. That Clear Vice Dragon is really op. It still burns me up that Yugioh gx season 4 was never dubbed. For a few future duels to analyze here’s a few:
Atem and Kaiba vs Lumis and Umbra
Kaiba vs Alister (both rounds if possible)
Aster Phoenix vs Adrian Gecko
Aster Phoenix vs Jaden (round 2)
Jaden vs Darkness (Season 4)
Yuma and Nash vs Don Thousand
Again I can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into these videos. Infinite out of 10
Memory Snatcher has always intrigued me from the artwork to the effect. I'm not really sure how this would do in the actual game. Considering nowadays the GY is your second hand. Then again traps are too slow for most decks.
Me too, but it would just break the game in a playable perspective. How someone should take out a card without seeing other cards. And then the first "guess" would let you memorize it again and again. A possible way would be to say the order of the card ( 22th card / 3th last) but that would certainly to broken Powerbudget wise. I would see the actual effect be kinda balanced to remember what you play and why, that's the point that you know how to pilot the deck( of course checking is good because not everyone have a photo mind/is normal ) but I don't remember the order if I search, special, shuffle in the deck. BUT IF, only on master Duel/ online.
Basically it's going to reverse the order of the GY, then flip the GY like Convulsion of Nature, turning it into a second deck
@@ZenoDLC You know I don't hate that idea in practice like a fun duel at locals. At a YCS well that's a different story.
That bug looking thing on the artwork looks like that one mosquito guy from Yugioh Zexal.
The one that Yuma and Trey had to team up to beat
@@dommaster661 My guess is that it would either require a judge to be there (which would be a pain for them) or require the opponent to be honest (not likely), so the card would just be banned from tournaments.
I've seen all your duel analyses. I've watched the entire DM series, most of GX (not this duel), and small pieces of 5Ds and Zexal.
This is the only time I've ever been stunned speechless, jaw-dropped from watching these. Both because of the duel itself, and your presentation. Amazing work!
Also, is there any possibility of Yugi/Kaiba v Lumis/Umbra in Battle City? 2v2 duels tend to be real spectacles, after all!
Same with Yugi/Joey v Big Five in Virtual World.
Can there be a "Was team New World about to defeat Team 5D's" or "Was Aporia about to defeat Jack, Leo, and Luna" video please.

This duel still grinds my gears to this day, because Nasch straight up cheats twice to beat IV (chaining a card to an instant win condition, and then using C101 Dark Knight to attack the same turn it was brought back from the graveyard by its revive effect)
@@tyfellwind9398 Two things I'd like to point out that potentially dispel both cheating accusations:
1) In the matter of the instant win condition, Nasch can simply flip Overlay Award at the end of IV's Main Phase and use its effect to reattach a material to C88 before the End Phase occurs. Since C88 can only use its burn effect once per turn, Overlay Award is an effective safeguard against the former's win condition.
2) The restriction that prevents C101 from attacking the same turn it revives itself does not exist in its anime counterpart. See Nasch vs. Yuma on Turn 3 for proof, because Nasch does it there too and is legal in the anime.
@@cameraredeye3115 IV had already announced he ended his turn and the IK attack was already activated and in the process of resolving though. Nasch would have had to immediately use Award after the 4k burn to avoid it. But, anime has lots of shenanigans, been cheating since the DM era. This duel in particular just bugs me because IV deserved that win
Finally was waiting for this duel! One of my favorites from gx, blew my mind when I was watching this as a young kid

Hearing Impossible Victory in this duel is my favourite scene in this series.
The tradition of Konami always shafting Red-eyes players started all the way back then? What a surprise.
(aside, I had no idea that red-eyes burn and wyvern were actually played on screen before, I always thought those support cards existed in a vacuum and added some random time after GX, so it was cool to see this for the first time)
Red-Eyes has always been shafted. Remember, its very first appearance involved it jobbing to _Time Wizard,_ and in the next few duels it got stomped by Dragon Zombie and then wasn't allowed to move in the Labyrinth Wall.
Now that I know for a fact you’ll do undubbed duals, I can’t wait for Jaden vs Nightshroud and Yusei vs Z-ONE. Thanks Sam. Love these dual analysis!
GX season 4 was genuinely such a fantastic season. also looking at this...did Atticus ever win a duel in the series?
Only two one was against his sister in a flashback and the other was off screen when he was possessed by Nightshroud
Never on-screen 😅
Man, the writing and the editing on this video was top notch - I really felt I was living the story. Such an immersive experience! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oooo I was really hoping you'll do this duel, it is one of the biggest "WTF" moments in YGO history. I don't remember if there was a hint that Tusuke had the power to just show us an alterative play the duel could of gone
Super excited for this analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
I'd love to still see some of Sartorius' duels, or the rematch between Jaden and Aster. But to keep rotating series, I'd like to see the duel between Team 5d's and Team Unicorn.
3:44. All I remember is that Red Wyvern and A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon is in there. 😭
Just for the sake of argument, I will point out: The original printing of the Burst Breath card actually did not have tributing as a cost. It was erratad in 2005, which is still a while before this episode airs, but Ithey might have been worried about consistency issues since it was a card that Kaiba also used at one point.
That might be the reasoning behind what happens if someone's a stickler for the shenanigans :p
I'm not so sure if the consistency was their worry, seeing as how they had fixed the Magic Cylinder issue by this point.
When Yugi used Magic Cylinder in Battle City, it was treated as redirecting an attack back at the opponent's monster. When Cyrus used it in season 1, it was treated as the proper effect; negating the attack and causing effect damage.
3:56 bro i just remembered the wyvern (1/4)

I hope we see more 5ds and vrains duels,
Those are a bit easier to analyze then older Yu-Gi-Oh
Right off the bat, I notice one similarity (or rather a few) between this duel and another (very memorable) duel from DM, given the respective end results:
- Atticus uses Red-Eyes which is emblematic of (though not used by) Joey Wheeler.
- The stakes are very high given the point in the story of the arcs during which the duels take place.
- Shenanigans on the part of the antagonist (Yusuke manipulating memories; Marik messing around in the Shadow Realm)
- The respective hero characters shoulda coulda woulda won were it not for certain circumstances.
This duel in GX felt very much like the equivalent of the infamous DM duel where Joey got completely screwed over. Man, Atticus had it rough during what could be considered his path to full redemption (kinda). Now I want both Yusuke and Atticus in Duel Links....!
For the first ask about remembering the graveyard contents I can only recall Red Eye Wyvern and Red Eye black dragon. I already forgot the other two
For the challenge in 3:50 It is as follows: Wingbeat of a Giant Dragon, Dragon heart, Red eyes black dragon, and Red Eyes Wyvern.
The first three cards are from Clear phantom's effect in the reverse order of Atticus sending them to the graveyard (Red eyes Black Dragon, Dragon Heart, Wingbeat of a Giant Dragon.) then Red Eyes Wyvern is last because it is the monster that was destroyed via Clear phantom's effect since Wyvern destroyed it.
The twist at the end of this duel was brilliant. Chefs kiss.
I'm just imaging all of the Clear related puns and jokes they'd make in the dub of this and now I want that even more. That should've been part of the anniversary.
So correct me if I'm worry, but couldn't Atticus has have drawn the duel the turn before Clear World was activated had he set Red-Eyes Burn the turn before? Burn says "when it's destroyed by battle or card effect" not "opponent's card effect", so if he had set it on the previous turn, Swing of Memories to bring it can then normal summon Hunter Dragon, attack with both then when Red-Eyes is destroyed by Swing of Memories, activate Red-Eyes Burn and draw the duel there.
Yes but why go for a draw unless its absolutely necessary?

@@nicholasdaniel2778 I know
10:19 Yes I literally was asking that question.
Impressively slick editing for the memory effect.
for the question asked at 3:55
from top card to bottom card:
Red-Eyes Wyvern
Winged Beat of a Giant Dragon
Dragon Heart
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
Reverse Order of Graveyard:
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
Dragon Heart
Winged Beat of Giant Dragon
Red-Eyes Wyvern
Correct LEGAL Order from top to bottom:
Red-Eyes Wyvern
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
Dragon Heart
Winged Beat of Giant Dragon
The reasoning for this is the duel disk cycled the cards from last one milled to the first one. This means even though legal order was Winged Beat, Dragon Heart and REBD.. The REBD will be cycled first due to how the duel disk takes the cards from the loading zone to the Graveyard, and does not load in the chronological order milled by the effects in question.
3:55
Reverse order; Inferno Fire Blast, Dragon's Heart, Red Eyes Wyvern, REBD
The whole nihilism vs individualism motif is basically what third impact from End Of Evangelion was conveying underneath all that mountain of symbolism
Yusuke or rather Nightshroud is basically a Persona villain, cast aside your individuality and live in bliss in my eternal world of darkness. This would've worked so much better if Darkness wasn't introduced as a complete walkover style villain from the moment he was introduced.
Crazy timing, I just watched the season for the first time over Easter Weekend
Here’s a possible suggestion. YGO 5D’s, Jack Atlus vs Dragan of Team Ragnarok. The idea is that this is a grudge match as we find out Dragan fought Jack and lost before the events of the start of the show. However, the duel was fixed so that Dragan had to lose so he could win some money for his dad’s hospital bills. What makes their rematch interesting is that it not only calls into play Jack’s legitimacy as a duelist, but both he and Dragan actually start with the exact same cards as before
At that point in the duel, the reverse order was: a wing beat of giant dragon, dragon heart, red eyes black dragon, and red eyes wyvern is at the bottom since it was sent first
a “was aporia about to beat jack/leo/luna?” video could be pretty cool

4:04 something wingbeat, red eyes heart, red eyes black dragon, red eyes wyvern.
Great video as always 👍 also liked the hello kitty / yugioh McDonald’s toy in background i will admit I’ve got one too 😂
First, if Atticus ever played Red-Eyes in defense position, he could stall out without the risk. Inferno Fire Blast, Burst Breath, and Red-eyes Burn don’t need him in attack position. Should’ve used Swing of memories and hunter dragon on the same turn too.
Second, I’m pretty sure Fujiwara did reverse time. You can tell by the reactions of Jaiden and Jessie when the field came back, and they were standing in different positions when Clear Vice Dragon attacked the second time.
Also, what Fujiwara did to Atticus, 3:30 used the darkness to give him what he wanted in his heart. He resented his time as Nightshoud, and wanted to forget it, and because he associated Red-eyes with Nightshroud, both were erased from his memory. But that wasn’t the true darkness in his heart. At the end of the duel Atticus admitted that his biggest regret was that he couldn’t save Yusuke. with that in mind Fujiwara used that darkness to give Atticus what he really wanted, for Fujiwara to live, and for Atticus to be the one lost instead.
Third, …bro the pronunciation of Yusuke killed me everytime😭
Homie really said it sounds easy to play under memory snatcher. Kek
Whats this? Another duel analysis that Ill end up rewatching a million times along with all the others? Yes please!
By far the coolest video you created!
I felt so proud picking up on the burst breath misplay when watching. Learned a lot from these videos.
BTW, at the final turn, the gy should have:
Burst Breath
Swing of Memories
Offensive Guard
A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon
Dragon Heart
