Everything Wrong with Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 1

- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Join me on my journey to rant and complain about the stupid inconsistencies in a Saturday morning anime with a shitty translation from a company that was notoriously awful and went bankrupt for being awful. Yes this was a huge fucking waste of time but it was the only thing that kept me busy from hanging myself.
A lot of the points in this video are for comedy purposes and pointing out how bad the english translation was

This video is old and terrible, filled with mistakes and inaccuracies i made for fun and didn't expect it to blow up. If you have the strong urge to correct me thinking that no one has said it before you in the 9 months this has been up you are sadly mistaken. No one is more aware of this videos shittiness than me, have a nice day.
Hey, it's still funny as fuck and therefore amazing
Amazing video
Dude is still a really fun video.
Cvit What mistakes and inaccuracies? This seems perfectly solid to me
Why not just remake it? I'd watch it.
I can't blame Joey for not understanding the rules of Season 1
Wrong. The Rules, the real fucking rules, existed since Feb 4th 1999.
This show aired on April 18th.... 2000
Yes, but the anime was using things from the manga, and thus, they went most of how stupid the game was back then in the manga.
yeah but the anime first aired in Japan 1998
Your point? Everything we see in the anime, apart from filler, is essentially something that's derived from the manga. They wanted to be as dedicated to the manga, while throwing some stuff in to keep the duel interesting and such.
The series of episodes, dubbed Season 0, was the original Yugioh. Aka King of Games. That was the 1998 anime you speak of. After it was over and Japan began to make an actual card game, in 1999, this Yugioh:Duel Monsters was released, but it was just a gussied up version of the manga.
The amount of arguments as a kid when trying to play the actual card game... “but in the show that’s how it worked”
Bullying others is wrong. But mind crushing people and sending their souls to the shadow realm is a-okay!
so... kids cant see guns, but they CAN see(and HEAR) a person threatening people with SUICIDE?
4kids... thats just downright stupid.
The "rules" only happened in battle city, kaiba created the rules.
And, of course, screwed them when appropriate.
To screw the rules, you have to make the rules first.
Feb 4th 1999 Cards are a real thing children own... yes I mean real life.
April 18th, 2000. This show aired, not season 0 which is from 1998, THIS SHOW, the one where the rules were screwed harder than your Momma.
How ironic
Just so he could screw them
"Watch out kaiba, they're going to point their fingers at you!"
In the kids edition, the gym teacher trapped Tea Gardner and locked her with him in a room just to take her money
BANG BANG!!! BUDOW BUDOW BUDOW BANG!!!
Even as a kid, when Kaiba threaten to kill himself, I was like, 'wait. Uhm, aren't these monsters fake? How would the blast make you fall?' 😂😂
blackchickadee7 he said the shock wave from the blast would make him fall🤔😂😂 I grew up on the 4kids version because I'm here in the states but I get what he's saying now that I'm older
blackchickadee7 With
*Imaaaaaginattiooon*
Ok the whole Yugi not wanting Yami to help during the duel with Mai because he's afraid he might hurt someone, does not exist in the in the Sub version.That was just more plot fuckery by 4Kids.
In the sub version Yugi was more distracted about not losing to Pegasus that it was causing him to lose against Mai, it wasn't until he accepted his lost to Kaiba that when regains his ground. The episode was basically about having the strength acknowledge your weakness and learning how to deal with losing.
Also in the sub Yugi knows what Black Luster Ritual is, they make a point in the show that both Y.Yugi and Yugi build their decks together. So him not knowing is more 4Kids plot bs.
Technically Yu gi s deck doesn't belong to him it's his grandpa's so how did he beat kaiba and every body in duelist kingdom
captain deadpool The Power Of Plot Armor!
captain deadpool because his grandpa gave the deck to him yugi didnt steal it
The heart of the cards
0:55 finally got the Tristan's dead voice joke from LittleKuriboh
This is funny but you missed that Joey jumped off the cruise ship to get Yugi's cards from the ocean but when guard throws their star chips into the shallow water, No one thinks to jump in to grab them lol.. they just resign and walk off.
Fun fact: The first season has no rules because the creator wasn't planning on making a card game originally, but with the success they made one and he then worked with a card game creating team.
People have already said this, I'm sure, but the anime was based on the manga, and the manga was created before the rules for the TCG were, so none of them are breaking the rules: the rules did not exist yet
KUNAI WIT CHAIN
what the fuck is an accessory card? xDDDDD
it's what mai called spells/traps
Or 'magic spells' for that matter. Guessing he means 'Normal Spells' but if you're going to criticise the anime logic you should really learn the correct terminology of the games rules.
Your forgetting something, this was before Kaiba made battle city and changed the entire game forever.
hence why its everything wrong with season 1, aka pre battle city
It's not wrong if it's legal
I think you're forgetting something more crucial than that. Season 1 came out after the manga and before the card game so referencing burning lands card game effect makes no goddam sense. It's kinda hard to break rules that weren't invented yet. But yes there are times that they break their own rules sometimes which is totally fair to criticize.
the Rules that we use today for Yu-gi-oh today didn't exist in the first release of season 1 of the show in Japan in the beginning of the battle city ark Kaiba literally comes out with his "new rules" that included tributing. Another thing to point out is the Manga and Anime predate the show so you can't say theirs anything wrong with it. You just can't replicate what they do in the show using pieces of paper and a rule book.
Even after Battle City there was still a bunch of cheating and bullshit. Normal summoning in face-up defense mode, fusion monsters can't attack the turn they're summoned, playing trap cards from their hands, characters just making up rules as they go along. The TV show didn't start completely following actual rules until 5D's.
I remember as a kid when I first watched the anime, then getting the cards, and I being so dissapointed that they weren't nearly as good in real life. Like any of the toon monsters; Pegasus was almost unstoppable but they weren't all that powerful in a real deck
Jpg moon is my favorite card!
Dude let me say this was a really well put together video. The editing, the script and your narration were all on point and had me laughing quite a bit you really deserve more subs.
thanks ^~^
2:27 stop raging kid, the show existed before the tcg, so nothing is wrong with, but anything is wrong with the tcg who changed them, rendering it slow, less strategic and annoying (new cards been banned every year) so grow up !
actually the guy is way off on the season 1 thing as yugioh season 1 was a million percent different from season two as in the 1st season you wasnt required to tribute monster because of star level in fact i think star level wasnt really a thing until labyrinth came into the story. as back then the game was basically monster battle meaning you are suppose to build yr deck of powerful monsters and have spells and traps to support them. also season one cards mainly work of their or entirely different for example "Waboku" had an old version which had the effect of (all battle damage is reduce to zero.) which suited the og version because if the damage was reduced to zero then yr monster wasnt destroyed however now Waboku has a updated effect where not only do you not take damage but also none of your monsters cant be destroyed this turn. but also yugioh in the first season was owned by a different company which made those rules and card effects valid season 2 was a completely different company which they changed around the rules and actually did an all around overhaul and update to the entire card game including changing card effects for balancing the game. reason why toon monsters became trash after the 1st season as in season one you couldnt attack directly meaning back then the rules were if u had an face up offense monster card u have to attack yr opponent (reason why yami attacked mokuba during mokuba turn as mokuba monster was weaker than yami's meaning in truth the winged dragon was simply destroying the weaker monster.) what u could say is polymerization is a bull-ish card itself throughout the entire series as nobody in the yugioh universe has a extra deck as in truth they cud use poly on any and every card in the game and then they get to name and call the effects of those newly made monsters / cards as Dark Paladin never existed until after that episode. but as i was stating earlier the OG season used and took card names and effects for their face value or in this case name value so its extremely possible that before the new season or season 2 that all of them cards had those intended effects until the new company got a hold of them.
Cvit "What the fuck is an accessory card." 😂
holy shit tekking you watch videos like people I always thought you were extraterrestrial,please check my comments on your Hawkins video
I can explain everything with one meme.
4kids: SCREW THE RULES WE HAVE MONEY!!!!!!!!
then goes bankrupt LOL
Cvit yet their censoring practices live on
Someone on the internet complaining about Flame Swordsman never being fusion summoned
Someone agrees with me
I needed this
after 17 years I realize that I'm not alone
Tobias Pettersson It wasn't a fusion monster in the original manga that the anime is based off of, hell it was better in the manga since it was a 4 star monster too. 4kids just butchered it further for the dub.
Flameswordsman was better in the manga. AS a fusion card, it sucks major ass, lacking any effect, and being weaker than or as strong as some fairly common 4 stars these days. Like no offense, the game today is a horrid fucking mess, but at the very least fusions with power 2000 or less generally have some good effect or combo into something frightening, like needing a Fusion monster to syncho this or fuse into that, or is some god fucking scary OP combo deck like the GX crap.
Snow Day Gnar like you said „these days“. When game first come out, it was a strong monster even as a fusion monster. I‘d be more annoyed by those 1200ATK monsters with absolute no effect. Like wtf? But as i remember there‘s a non fusion flame swordsman with effects. I‘m not 100% sure
You know that during the period when the game came out 4* monsters with 1800-1900ATK weren't that uncommon. Heck 1700ATK ones were pretty common. So having 1800ATK fusion monster that requires 2 specific monster none of which was particularly good in time where searching engines were pretty limited wasn't the best choice.
If pegasus can make his own cards, why doesn't he make a spell card that makes you win any game
Gea Force
Toon World basically
Well if the spell just said "you win", there'd be no fun in it, and no way to beat it.
If people knew beating him was impossible, then nobody would come to his tournament for a shot at doing so.
Besides, that kind of thing would not only just not be his style, but also _incredibly_ boring.
Final countdown

Well all this nonsense and cheating just reflects MY reality as a child playing yu gi oh! Everybody just made up their rules and went with it lolololol
Same, since i'm from Denmark was the Danish dub of the 4kids dub the only reason some of us know any rules at all, with the exception of the fact that there always was this one kid and his brother from 6 grade whom was able to read some english. So more often then not would the brother take some random card, pretending to read it, and whatever he said was now the new law.
Oh you were that kid -_-
remember that I always won and I was a refferee and Yugioh God cause I could already read in kindergarten....:D
figuring out card effects was one of the first reasons to learn English for me :D
brag about it
I'm going to play lawyer here
Pegasus doesn't need to explain the rules because the event was invitational so it stands to reason that everyone he invited knew how to play the game.
Field power bonuses aren't exclusive to the show they were a thing in the original manga as well when the field even in duelist kingdom with the mat clearly showing the fields and were used for the standard rule set (Advance is when tribute summon, all spells being quickplay and being required to supply your own field spell and such comes into play so any time this is brought up here's the answer to that) , claiming it was a secret rule in the anime was to skip over with how they didn't show the original, other changes include the Kaiba vs Yugi rematch to be their first duel in the first episode with none of how yugi got to kaiba being shown.
Flame Swordsman in the manga the anime is adapting first appeared as a level 6 normal monster in August 4th 1998 (again standard rules so no single tribute)
while the card was made in the game as a fusion in a starter box in 1999 march 6th. This is blaming the anime for a change Konami made later on, same goes for times like great moth, the rulings in the media it's adapting were before Konami made it with their rulings on summon and effects, he said due to not having as many turns as needed it came out weaker but never claimed the summon of great moth was stopped entirely and it's not the manga or show adapting fault when Konami looks at them later they think "nah it works like this now".
With great moth attacking multiple times and dealing poison debuffs were again also established before it was made as a card, this was also an effect Ultimate dragon had originally to attack 3 times and had to die 3 times (Eventually even brought back with the attack 3 times with neo Blue-eyes Ultimate)
I can keep going on with these points as well for thousand dragon, time wizard (Which actually in the manga was a spell card which got reworked into another spell card Joey would use in yugiohR) Again it's not their fault Konami changes these later, it's like yelling at the person who made the original chess rules for cheating because later there will be different rules.
With Mako the mat clearly shown on Yugi's side to be a beach and on Mako's side being an oceon, standard rules allowed him with this to play water monsters set in attack mode, playing monsters face up defense was also originally allowed in the manga.
Magical hats is I think you get where his is going.
Again time wizard was meant to be a spell so this mistake probobly came from looking at pages 1/1 and animating based on that as it'd be a stretch to expect animators to know the ins and outs of the rules (Time Wizard original Pendulum boi)
Types beating types again was a manga ruling which this is an adaptation of, another being divine monsters are immune to all effects except by those of also divine which is never brought up when that also is clearly prevalent in the show.
For strengths of monsters the idea was pretty much cards were extremely rare, a girl pre duelist kingdom attempted to kill yugi for a 1600 witch monster which combed with 2 other 1600 witch monsters to make them all 2800 (Then Kaiba saves him with
3 Blue-eyes white privilege where :^) (That was also when it was established Kaiba vs Yugi one was maybe a fluke because he only used 1 Blue-eyes last time)
Battleguards had the effect in the manga but not in the game because Konami didn't give them it, not the writers fault it changed later outside their power.
Change of Heart (guess what the point here will be)
Shackles and flame throwers here are for added effect to show this dude means business since originally he was "Player Killer of Darkness" and he was hired to be a player killer by Pegasus to root out weaker players to make the later bracket much smaller so he'd make tools to ensure panic can hold them to take their chips. (Yugi gives him a punishment game that's him just being hung)
Panics cards and effects also come under it was written one way by the author and another way by konami later
Yugi taking damage comes from originally he forced it to be a shadow game where life points literally are tied to monsters you lose the life you put into them (Little yugi fainting vs pegasus originally from him not being able to maintain more then one monster in a shadow game) writers just seem this is how it worked in what we're adapting do that damage here too.
Manga Yugioh rules demand if able to summon a monster and if one's on the field to attack with it, that's why Joey kept attacking into Kaiba because the rules this show is following for it's adaptation work like that. (Also outside of illustrations for reader benefit this was the first time Joey would actually see monsters as holograms so seeing this lizard tank a hit and not immediately be declared dead would look like it took the hit initially)
Traps come down to standard rules and effect is konami changing it again.
Zombies and pumpking again it's a manga's ruling on cards being changed later by konami.
Labyrinth wall was meant to be an experimental new variant of the game that para and dox tested.
Poly in the show pretty much fused anything with anything, only difference between then and now if Konami makes the outcomes later on.
playing cards in labyrinth rules allows you to play where ever you want, even move spells to monster zones if you with.
Labyrinth tank is another flame swordsman rule.
Labyrinth made it like a tag duel where both teams had 1 share of LP between 2 people so it could be taken yugi's monsters could be treated as his, or the ruling is different, pick one.
Again Gate Guardian rulings original vs Konamis and the pieces weren't made get.
You can destroy sections of monsters if they're made of multiple in the manga and actually have to to destroy them (Again ultimate dragon needed to die 3 times to die)
Yami being a different size is only in the show so I guess that's wrong but it's wrong in every season of the show.
Pepe wasn't played after the emergency ban because monarchs playing a single card locked out every play they had consistently and the ban cards were their only recovery chance.
MST wasn't a thing yet.
For accessory card she means an equip, but lol she's a girl so it's an accessory.
Magic resistant armor is another case of attributes in the original manga being more impotent then konami in making the game.
Flame Swordsman is probobly them being informed they gave it the wrong colour before and use this one now.
Barrel dragon is again a monster who's later changed by Komani
One off cards come from it being a manga first and an actual card game second
Bakuyra makes monsters real the same way in the manga anyone with an item can, by making it a shadow game and tapping into the tablet the monster was made from through the cards.
Thousand eyes originally was absorb everything when relinquished was just one which is why it absorbs all the kuribohs.
I appreciate the amount of research you put into your counter argument, interesting read. Definitely marking some notes down for if and when i make a video on the next season
I also have a defense for the original "rules"
If you ask me this card game feels more like a table top RPG, when you stop and look at the duels by RPG game logic, some of the moves make more sense.
But still lets face it, its a lot of fun to poke fun at this first season
Based off how Kazuki introduced Capsule Monsters and Dungeon Dice Monsters, it's clear he had a love for Table Top RPG's(in the manga, when Yugi first faces off against the Evil Spirit of the Ring) it's straight up a Table Top RPG.
I know this is old but I remember a manga scan with the creator saying the real life game will play differently and the effects of cards he shows may be used differently to show the strength of characters compared to each other
As it is apparent the Deck represents the person, and only later in GX do others get to even know their tag partner's set cards, but overall everybody still needed to learn the effects aka research. That's why when a top player is surprised by an uncommon play, rest in peace of you're not meant to win
If this doesn't constitute a fully comprehensive explanation i don't now what is
Tristan just hit puberty
You know, even after knowing just how dumb this show gets, I still gotta give it some points for making me despise weavil's conniving little ass to this very day. That character really stuck with me as the definition of a total snake for some reason. Considering that was the show's intention, I'd say it deserves just a little credit there.
"where i come from, duel monsters is still a broken, exploitable mess of game, and i'm going to exploit the hell out of it"
-yugi motou, bonds beyond time abridged.
seen the entire first series, and was literally screaming internally at pretty much every point you mentioned.
my favorite is the panic fight though.
All of these mistakes are why I love the Abridged Series so much.
Little kuriboh ftw
Little kuriboh ftw
Lol. I remember being confused as hell by the rules when I started playing the game after watching the show.
The rules in this season are like friends playing a game they don't know, so they make up rules on the go.
"Black Skull Dragon can only move by flying" Ah, this is the rarest of rare monsters: The Red-Eyes Paraplegic Skull Dragon! I must have it!
Also, is that Joey on the official Doppelganger card?
In one of the Gameboy games, types mattered greatly...Weakness wasnt even a thing...It goes:
Pyro monster 2800 ATK 3500 DEF
Instantly wiped by any water monster regardless of attack power
No one understood what the hell was going on LMAO
Video is finally back up! Only took 3 weeks.... but none the less glad its finally back. Working on Season 2 you can get updates on video progress on my twitter twitter.com/Cvit_ See Ya Soon ;^)
Cvit i am glad that this came back and this is an amzing video cant wait for 2nd season video
Cvit also i just laughed at how you made fun of se1 man this was funny
Cvit I hope you mean how many things were wrong in the dubbed (and yes the sub has some flaws but the dub made them worse because stuff was cut out and changed )
Cvit yay!!! So glad it's back!! Can't wait for Season 2!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!! I can't get enough of this video. i loved this anime and still do, but your points reminds me how they completely pull shit out of their ass in this show xD
So if Yami says that you can´t win unless the deck is your . HOW YUGI WINS WITH IS OLD MAN DECK ???
Ulysses Moore watch the entire series and its pretty clear, actually. the fact is it is not Solomon muto or yugi muto's deck. it is a deck based off of the Pharoahs ancient Egyptian roots and connections. and if you didn't know or catch it while watching the series, Solomon Muto is the one who DISCOVERED the "tomb of the nameless pharoah" in which the millennium puzzle was hidden. it is essentially the pharoah's deck and wouldn't you know it seems to be the pharoah who is dueling most of the time.
Worth noting that when Yugi duels on his own (against Atem too!! As part of his afterlife ritual) for...pretty much the first time ever iirc, he uses pretty much all new cards.Yugi's new cards have only one allegiance, Yugi himself.
His Grandpa gave that deck to him, Yugi meant stealing cards.
Duel Monsters Rule Book
rule 1:
The duelists keep pulling rules out of their asses until one of them wins.
rule 2:
If the duelist’s name is Yugi Muto, he wins the duel by default.
rule 3:
If the duelist’s name is Yugi Muto and he loses the duel, he wins regardeless.
rule 4:
There aren’t really any rules.
and the 5 rule screw the rules i have money rule
im literally unable to rewatch the first season of yugioh because of how completely nonsensical the duels are, i mean jesus.
also thank god this video is something unique and original and not the overdone "cimemasins" formula which i fucking hate
glad you like the video format, this one was really rough. it had been a while since making a video
i really enjoyed this videos ^^ when you'll create one for season 3 & 4, i'll definitely check them out in a heartbeat ^^
its always great to see someone who does know his stuff about the real card game talk about the anime ^^
bocodamondo the nonsensical bit is the reason I like it xD its so bad its just fucking hilarious to watch. Like the room, or the star wars holiday special.
My thoughts exactly. I'm so happy that that's not what this video is
Wasnt early Yugioh before the game had rules..? I mean like, before the actual game existed..?
like yami said in the abridged movie : where im from yugioh is a broken exploitable game and im about to exploit the hell out of it.
If you did some simple research you'd know the 1st season of Yu-Gi-Oh! came out before the TCG and card rulings. Thus the show was actually just Anime based and not based on actual cards. Thus they can do anything they wanted.
That Pegasus imitation was amazing!
16:43 Yugi doesnt actually grow in size when he becomes yami, He stays as Yugi for everyone, he only changes physically for the viewer so they know who is in control at that point.
as if the deep voice and differently shaped eyes don't do it for themselves.
Actually there are some visual differences, in the manga some of the villains comment on him wearing some eye makeup in the yami phase. I don't remember there being any other visual remarks though
Also in the episode where Yami goes on a date with Tia she comments how Yami is taller and she likes that
Tia does mention he looks taller when Yami/Atem is active.
Tea mentions him looking differently while in yami state on the anime
The japanese version of the show explains the show much better. The reason for alot of the weird mechanics while they're dueling is the system created by kaiba corp. It's such an incredible invention because it makes the duel "come to life" and apply some realistic effects.
Pegasus is complaining that it's not fair that he can't cheat LOL
I know other people stated this before, but here's a tl;dr:
When season 1 was made the RL card game didn't exist yet so there were no rules to go off of.
TheMarshguy not really. The card game was first launched in 1998, the first japanese anime season aired in 2000. The reason the first season anime was still whack was because it was still based on the already serialized manga, which obviously came first before the TCG and the anime.
Regardless it doesn't follow its own rules. Like a spell card becoming trap a few episodes later.
That's kinda' the same as not existing, though. With how long shows like this are in development, the card game was as far removed from the show as Joey's deck is from real tournament play.
also, the first rule-set was quite different than the todays one!
actually as you watch any of the yugioh seasons there will be times where the cards do not match up with the real life counter part. example: Joey vs Espa Roba. That Fusion monster is still a normal monster and apparently if you misplay on your turn you lose your turn. I'm not 100% sure but I also believe Jinzo did not affect your own field in the show*.
In season 1 you didnt actually need to sacrifice monsters to summon lvl 5 and over. It was just in battle city that was introduced and it just stuck
"How does Bandit Keith lose when he has a 2400 Attack Monster on the field when the kid summons an 1850 Monster."
HOLY CRAP!! Even the first time I saw this, I couldn't understand that. I thought, "Ummm, that's simple Math. Keith's monster wins. Unless there's some hidden effect or spell? Care to explain? Nevermind then."
And why the hell isn't Pegasus called out for cheating? Like, "oh, I know exactly what move you're going to make next!" Oh, okay. Thanks for admitting that you're clearly looking at my cards somehow therefore cheating. Like, WHY doesn't anyone, especially Bandit Keith, point this out? "Hey, everyone. He cheated." If not cheating then why don't people think, "wow, Pegasus must be psychic... apparently."
DrRockso1987 Pegasus is psychic though
It's his Tournament he can cheat all he wants
THE DUMBEST THING IS A LOWER MONSTER SAY A 1700 ATTACK ONE CAN KILL A HIGHER DEFENCE ONE LIKE 2500 DEFENCE WTH IT MAKES NO SENCE
DrRockso1987
BoostZ I assume that was a reference to attributes beating each other
Ah, the memories, I remember way back in one of those YCS things when I opponent played Raigeki and I just yelled "No, my monsters, run away!" and they actually did and they avoided the Spell Card because that's what happens and monsters are real and are listening to what you say and totally aren't just a piece of plastic and paper...
It's real to me, goddamn it!
The thing about Season 1 is that the duels were based on, how the fight would go down logically. The game has different rules because of the environment, and the cards do different things because it's easy to imagine that something like Burning Land would physically burn the land.
Personally I like how different Duelist Kingdom was. You had to rely on logic to counter your opponent's strategy, not copy-and-paste combos.
Still a great video though.
"Screw the rules! I have money!"

*_YUGI DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S IN HIS DECK. HOW IS THIS KID THE KING OF GAMES??!_* possibly the funniest thing in a hilarious video
Actuall 4kids dialogue in yugi vs dartz
Dartz: ''Y-You cant!''
Yugi: ''I just did!''
"Time Wheezeen"
*Puts a monster face down in attack mode in the spell trap zone*
HOLY SHIT Joey has a Trap in deck!! Where the fuck did he get that?!
manga kaiba built a literal death tower for yugi and his friends after yugi beat him in a shadow game. So i'm not sure he would give a shit if he killed a building full of people.
At 12:46: Yugi sent someone to the Shadow Realm in the original? Where'd you get that information? The "Shadow Realm" isn't even really a thing in the original.
you do a marvelous Pegasus voice impression
thanks dad
np son
@12:51 Actually the Shadow Realm wasn't in the Japanese version at all. 4kids made it up.
David DeFratis it was just hell wasn’t it
Bruh, the anime was made before the card game. It was never certain it would become a card game in the first place. They indeed made shit up as they went along.
Apparently the card game was around when the anime got released but they based the anime on the manga which didn't have clear rules to it
nah the cards were '98 and the actual show wasnt out until 2000 ish but the manga WAS first. They were just confused af cause they never specified everything at that point
uh no, The show originally came out in 1998 before the card game. Yu-gi-oh! animated by toei animations was released in April of 1998 til October of that year and the card game released sometime in between then. But yes obviously the manga was first.
The manga coming out first would explain all the wrong colors like Magical Hats being a spell
Lets clarify some information.
THIS anime premiered, IN JAPAN, on April 18, 2000
The card game, yes the one they base all this on, is introduced....
FEBRUARY MOTHERFUCKING 4th 19-FUCKING-99!!
Now lets be clear, OCG vs TCG. The KEY difference... outside of the obvious language(& any censors,) is the backside of the card, thus sleeves are required if you think of making a deck of OCG and TCG.
ANYWAY, all these cards were in known over a year before THIS anime was released.
A huge difference from "Season 0" which played in 1998, and people are confusing for what we're making fun of right now, was the cards truly didn't exist when Season 0 was about. But they were a real thing by the time THIS anime, the one in the video we're commenting on came out.
Let me add, you'd be right in saying the cards came out after the original anime by TOEI ended on October 10 of 1998, AGAIN that anime I speak of is lovingly dubbed Season 0. This anime right here, is again from the year 2000, a full year and then some AFTER the OCG/TCG released.
Pegasus did explain a few rules during the DK orientation in Japan. He specifically said no direct attacking (horrible idea, nothing like 50 turn duels being the norm).
with that rule im surprised there wasnt at least one burn deck shown to take advantage of it
Zeromega159 Bakura almost beat Yugi with a single Just Desserts card.
The reason that stalling wasn't a problem is because, in the manga, you actually just lost the duel immediately if you had no monsters to summon.
TheCardTrooper Well that's good, but each duelist can just effectively keep defending if they have a monster in their hand each turn. And with no tributes needed, it's a pretty consistent sounding outcome.
TheCardTrooper it applied in the anime as well, so long as you had monsters in the deck
I think you forget that the tribute summoning method didn’t come in until Battle City. It was evident that Joey didn’t know this whilst battling Esper Roba. Also, the cards are different in real life than in the anime.
But I do admit, the anime messed up a lot with the spell/trap zone and monster zone thing.
Yeah, you definitely missed the point.
FINALLY Someone actually pointed that out.
The Millennium eye is the reason why the first season is so much BS 😂😂
Apparently Yugi turning into Yami is actually not ever talked about due to the fact in the manga, just his demeanor. The change is visual.
I agree with most of these, but regarding Pegasus's deck, it's OP and unfair because he's a villain who made his tournament for the purpose of winning Yugi's millenium item. This certainly shows something wrong with Pegasus's ethics, but it's not necessarily something wrong with Yu-Gi-Oh or the writing since it's an acceptable writing tool to have villains cheat or be bad people.
Great video though, especially the parts where you diss 4kids' edits!
Yet YXugi and his friends cheat all the time XD
22:25 actually there is. its called b-buster drake :v
bocodamondo i see you everywhere dude
And a creature swap card
For a second there I thought that you were type stuttering.
Series 1 was written before the game had any rules
The point was 'any rules'. Even if it was different rules, any rules is important.
Sam Copsey actually kaiba changed the rules in s3 because fuck pegasus
Yea before torument in aimne yugioh you can somun 4+ monster and fusion cards then when torumment start, kaiba changed rules i am so sry for bad english ( no kiddo)
Didn't the Yugioh anime exist before the card game?
26:26 Loved That impersonation 😂👌 100 pegasus
JP Gamer Omega ikr amazing
"Yugi places a monster face-up defense, you can't do that"
The only rule they've kept for the next 10 years.
tbh, i dont see the harm if that rule was real.
cLoud unDerWeather it used to be real. I once played a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX game which it had that rule, and I was able to face up my monsters in defense position... the good old days
22:13 "how the hell did bandit keith get a couch in there"
lmfao seriously what the fuck
How can Joey not get the rules to the game if you can make your own rules?
First season was like a pilot xD
Dragon Nails is in his Joey's deck because he won it from Rex Raptor along with the Red Eyes Black Dragon as a part of a wager in their duel. After all Rex used Dragon Nails to equip the Red Eyes.
Lmao! This was so good.
Plz make another if you can soon!
HILARIOUS! XD
Damn, can't y'all take a joke
Yugi doesn't actually grow in size when he changes from Yugi to yami, proof is that during one episode (don't remember which) Yugi transforms next to tea and he still was standing at the same height next to her
So... he just gets a lot skinnier?
MasterThanatos1301 Which arc was it?? Because by the end of the series Yugi has grown to be the same height as Yami. So it could be just that Yugi was taller when you saw that scene??
Sammy Dray im not sure because I found out from a friend
And i haven't looked at it myself in a very long time
MasterThanatos1301 Yugi never transformed physically. The reason why they had him transform in the TV show was so viewers can tell the difference between Yugi and Atem. When we see Atem on the screen, they still see Yugi. They also mention a few times that Yugi's demeanor changes a couple of times during his first duels prior to them discovering that Atem and Yugi shared a mind.
at least they got pot of greed correctly
Belive it or not but monster swap has been made in to a card
I watch this video at least once a day to keep myself young
Off the topic of Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon was huge influence on me. My brothers and I (age 7) were super into the show but our family moved house on the day the finale was supposed to air. So I asked my grandpa to record it on VHS and mail it to us. We waited 6 weeks for the tape to arrive.........
.....and he had recorded Pokémon instead.
It broke me. I sat down with my toys and invented a imaginary finale that involved demonic possession, death and a nihilistic universe (again age 7). I wrote the story down and showed it to my brothers who loved it, passed it around to their friends, who gave it to their parents, who told me mother haha. So Digimon helped me discover my talent for fiction and world building. Today I have 2 published novels and have won a dozen writing competitions.
I saw the actual finale many years later. It was meh.
Nice video, though comparing real life cards with their pre-tcg manga originals isn't really fair when the game didn't real come together structurally until battle city in the manga. Before that it had more of a borderline role-playing aspect to it where effects worked off on creating rpg scenarios and external interactions rather than raw mechanical card text like the real life tcg. Thats not even counting the manga rules differing greatly from the real tcg like forced effect damage on monster destruction in duelist kingdom, or 1 trap and spell can be set a turn and how any set spell could be quickplay at a phase's end.
Schuyler Schmadtke That sounds awful.
glswenson that's why the anime of season one made no sense
Yup totally not fair to bash on a season when it was based on a manga made in 1998. the card game was made irl one year later.
he gonna stab you
Still breaks it's own rules.
Yugi never stops cheating. Not even against Joey. Lol.
Friendly reminder to watch Yu-Gi-Oh in Japanese subs. The voice acting’s less forced, the scripting makes sense, *Jonouchi* isn’t a Brooklyn dummy that corporate assholes renamed Joey, the music is the best, there’s zero censorship, all the stupid shit added for comedic effect is now gone, Yugi doesn’t go from innocent schoolboy to balls dropped man in a heartbeat (Same voice, just different voice patterns), and entire character arcs are entirely streamlined (Jounochi gave Yugi Red-Eyes because he wanted to win it from him after becoming a true duelist which was Jounochi’s character arc in Battle City, not because he thought Yugi needed it more against the Ghouls).
Here’s an example: remember in Season 2 when Ishizu gives Kaiba Obelisk the Tormentor and Kaiba asks what if he just keeps the God Cards for himself?
Dub Ishizu: *You will return that card!*
Japanese Ishizu: I trust you.
One sounds like a snotty bitch that has zero respect for those around her, which was never her personality, and the other sounds endearing and knows that Kaiba will do the right thing, which is totally Ishizu’s personality.
There is no conceivable excuse to watch the dub over the original Japanese and if you defend the dub in any way, then I pity you for missing out on the true Yu-Gi-Oh experience.
mega sean 100% agree about the Japanese sub vs 4kids dub. They completely changed the personalities of several characters. Non more than Seto Kaiba, who was my favourite character in the Sub. He was a lot more accepting of the supernatural events/magic but in the dub he always said it’s just some “cheap trick” or hocus pocus mind trick. In the sub, he’s more respectful. But they made him such a douche in the dub. And why they needed to create “the shadow realm” instead of just including... oh I don’t know... DEATH!? Fuck you 4kids!
You’re like Cinema Sins but so much better. This was funny asf
cinema sins is shit right now.
Mećim “but so much better”
SanicThe Hedgehog Idk why your avatar/name amuses me so much but it does
Season one actually had me and my friends playing the game wrong, it wasn’t until we went to a small tournament hosted by toys R us where we were taught the actual rules back in 1999
" PEGASUS IS COMPLAINING ITS NOT FAIR THAT HE CANT CHEAT ANYMORE" lmao I love this vid
Two things you need to remember:
1. This is a childrens card game...
2. If you have money just say "SCREW THE RULES I HAVE MONEY" and you MIGHT win...
Season one does pull some pretty hacked plays, but there's also the fact that the rules in the anime aren't identical to IRL. You said Normal Summoning in defense mode isn't legal, but in the anime it's consistently shown as an accepted move. I actually think it should be legal in the real game as well.
16:32 The artwork for monster swap is actually from the card shift, which is a trap card that redirects spell and trap effects.
The Original Rules from Season One were not the Same rules like it was for Season 2, (Which was wwwwwaaaaayyyyyy better)! Also Yu-gi-oh! First season seem like it was on some Pokemon type level of Logic!!!
Also Thousand Dragon Requires Polymerization.
*A CARD JOEY DOESN'T HAVE IN HIS DECK*
I'm fucking dying hahaha!
"screw the rules i have money.." -Seto Kiaba
10:30 I think in the japanese version of the anime it's actually specified in the rules that you can't attack directly.
CaptainTechnicality so you could basically win by not playing monsters and just decking them out? :D those would be some stupid ass rules
Well technically the anime was somewhat of an adaptation of second arc of Yu-gi-oh manga and that happened before the "real" card game was created so there were no real estabilished rules. Wasn't till the battle city tournament when the rules etc were estabilished.
no i believe it was like Pokemon where not having a monster to do battle with caused you to lose.
It's almost like the manga was written before the card game was adapted from it
Really makes you think
Mokuba once referred to his brother by their last name. This show was beyond stupid.
SaiyaMan2011 People refer to eachother by their last names in Japan look it up
theres no fucking reason to call your SIBLING by their last name, nobody does that shit
Tin Man japan they do it 🙂
no they don't
I have not heard that once in a family context, except for when people are poking fun at each other and using it specifically to denote distance. You can see it in Japanese drama, and even in some anime, but it is not a "cultural thing that Japanese do", it is a very niche thing that could as well not be mentioned in this context, since it is not normal behavior, and nobody outside Japan even takes note of such things.
What about season 0, oh wait. There's nothing wrong with it.
GodzillaFreak it had the same rules tho
it wasnt even yugioh. duel monsters is the name and yugioh didnt exist.
Ladder Lappen wait what the heck?
Please read your sentence again, carefully.
lmao.there is everything right with it.
Ladder Lappen then you’re misunderstanding.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0 wasn’t even Duel Monsters. Yu-Gi-Oh! Was just its name all along because there was technically no Duel Monsters.
(Also, you surely don’t know what Yu-Gi-Oh actually mean right? Ps. It’s Japanese phase and have meaning for you Americans that never know about this.)
21:58 Best moment :D Anyway, i really enjoyed the whole video, well done :)
time wizard lands on skull twice in the entire series. two- f***ing-times!
Honestly, this is one of my favorite seasons because of its complete lack of rules. It's hilarious if you just laugh at the bullshit instead of taking it seriously. I am glad they implemented rules more seriously, but first season is great for poking fun.
IT WAS MADE THIS WAY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.
also the manga this part was based on was still early in the duel monsters stuff so the rules that we know today weren't figured out yet
strawberrybankai12 + I wonder if they know that or not?
You do not know that it is was before the OG rules for the game
bruh lmao this video is hilarious #HereBefore1millionViews
thanks glad you liked it
2 months later, still not 1 million.
LMAO this made me laugh oh my Lord
Sean Anderson damn you I was gonna say it lol
Still love this video though
InnovationYGO meh too
