Lol yesh i thought so too ;) I love also how they don't forget the original characters of the anime,no matter how many parts still yugi and kaiba are the best
@@sandwicheman9772 most if his cards relied purely on luck. Cards mainly based on dice rolling or coin tossing. But him pulling out The Red Eyes armour out of nowhere sounds like pure magic bs
Kaiba knowledged that they were a great duelist during their duel towards the end of Battle City. Kaiba isn't anywhere near the obnoxious jerk he is in the 4Kids dub in the manga. 4Kids would make most of his dialogue somehow douchey and would even add entirely new lines where there were no lines at all just so Kaiba has more oppertunities to be a dick for no reason. For instance, when Kaiba passes by them on the Kaiba Corp Battle City Blimp, there were no lines, just Kaiba silently gliding by, but in the dub they add the line "Winners First!" to make him look obnoxious. It's funny because Kaiba didn't win any tournaments lately, including before or after his recent losses.
Pegasus is the creator of all that game, he opinion is really important. Leon and Rebecca lost to Yugi and unlike them, Joey had a match with Yugi which he canonically won (confirmed by the author). Joey grew so much in a year since he played Duel Monsters, it's not surprising that he got this far when he gained more experience. Zane and Jaiden are from another generation later, it is unknown if Pegasus was alive or not at that time.
Eternal Purposes But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you! -Matthew 16:22- Jesus knew exactly what was in His future. It came as no surprise to Him. He knew who would betray Him, He knew He would rise from the dead, and He knew exactly when these things would happen. And at Caesarea Philippi, He began to tell His disciples what He was facing. Matthew’s Gospel says, “From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead” (Matthew 16:21) In the original language, Jesus used a word for “killed” that could be translated “murdered.” Peter couldn’t believe that Jesus was saying this. In Peter’s mind, this simply couldn’t happen. It was commendable that Peter was truly concerned about the Lord. But he was missing what Jesus was trying to say. And he went too far when he took Jesus aside and “began to reprimand him,” saying, “Heaven forbid, Lord. . . . This will never happen to you!” (verse 22) Interestingly, the word translated “reprimand” in this verse carries the idea of someone in a position of authority rebuking a subordinate. That is the way Peter began to reprimand Jesus. And the language implies that he did this repeatedly. Imagine it for a moment. Jesus had just made a statement about His impending suffering and death. He obviously was in anguish over it. And then Peter took an authoritarian position and repeatedly began to reprimand Him. Peter had lost touch with reality. Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s” (verse 23) We have to love a guy like Peter, because he was so utterly human. He said what many of us probably would have said in such a situation. He was impulsive, impetuous, and hotheaded but also very honest, courageous, and intelligent. And perhaps he was the most accessible of all the followers of Jesus. May God help us to trust Him when He doesn’t do things the way we think He should and when we’re tempted to say, “Why, Lord?” God is thinking of His eternal purposes. We can only see what will benefit us in this moment. But God is looking at the big picture. And He knows what He’s doing. It is during these times that we must trust Him, cast ourselves at His feet, and say, “Lord, I admit to You that I don’t understand. I don’t know why. But I thank You that You are in control.” There are a lot of things that will happen in life that we won’t understand. It is during those times that we must fall back on what we do understand: God loves us. And He is looking out for our best interests.
Honestly though, I can't really think of a time Joey cheated, if you ignore things like summoning in face up defense which I think we can assume is just legal in the anime version of the game, Joey is probably one of the only good duelists that you can expect not to TRY and cheat, Atem and Yugi basically coach each other in every duel and Kaiba will absolutely duel you under duress if it's a day ending in y or even put HIMSELF under duress if things are dire enough.
Joey's deck was full of absolute dogshit and yet he still lucksacked his way up to the top. If he had a deck that was even halfway coherent it's likely that yes, he could have been King of Games.
Loved it how Aster didn't complain about being 4th in Pegasus list. Also loved the bit after how Pegasus told him to beware of mystic magic powers in the game of Duel Monsters, then tells him cheers and enjoy the party. Its like he is saying: "Enjoy these normal days while you can, because you are going to face some strange supernatural stuff I had to face in the original series"

Considering Joey didn’t have a card shop, Destiny Draw, or a whole corporation, he did pretty damn good. Especially considering one of the cards he had to rely on was an infinitely worse version of Negate Attack (Compensation Mediation).
Plus Yugi and his grandpa did give him some cards. Yugi gave him a time wizard and another card. While his grandpa gave him spells and traps though his probably did pay for some of them. the fact he could use a deck that is not compatible with itself speaks volumes . Joey is a great duelist with nearly insane luck, I wish he played the lotto at least once.

Joey is literally the best natural duelest in the series. No god cards, no magical egyptian artifacts, no destined superpowers like the supreme king or signers. Just pure skill and luck and he made his way to the top.
Joey was probably the one who worked the hardest to earn his spot. The man at the beginning of the series didnt even know the basics, but gave it his all and his strategies improved. Duelist City was probably his best arc
GX is supposed to be set 10 yrs after the OG series. By Gx's time, Joey probably retooled his deck and his play style. the gamble heavy deck was to compensate for Joey's limited access to rare, super rare, and ultra rare cards bar Red Eyes and Time Wizard.
@@PTMMasterDuel 5D’s is set sometime in future after GX since GX’s domino city hasn’t been split into Neo Domino and Satellite. GX is set 10 years after DM based on the canon timeline
@@PTMMasterDuel 5ds is Set way more than 10 years After The Original Series Due to the existence of the charecter Tetsuo Ushio since it was confirmed he was the same charecter that bullied Yugi and he was about Yugi's age (16) and in 5ds he seems much older and Mature so I would say he is about 40 something years so a 30 year time skip
@@PTMMasterDuel as for GX the person Judai meets is Definitely Yugi Muto (not Atem the pharoh) as it seems he doesn't wear the puzzle and he sounds like Yami so I can conclude it's a Grown up Yugi
@@brucewayne2184I think that being in Pegasus’ top 5 is enough to assume that Joey was top 5 at this point in the show. Let’s not forget he pulled off insane upsets time after time as an amateur, while also practically beating Marik had he not passed out.

Same here lol ... i was amazed when i saw this but it's good they didn't abandon him .at first he wasn't that great duelist but then he proved he is worthy.. i like Joey
To be fair, given how shitty Joey's deck was and how he never Paid2Win (Kaiba) and Cheated (Yugi) he was just lucky and rng based, but he still made the absolute most out of nothing. If some random kid walked into your locals and just started trashing world class duelists with a deck that runs Swordsman of Fucking Landstar got 3rd place. Then just decided to go to a regional and knock out people who have top 8'd at worlds with that same deck only to get to top 4 at the regional and fall asleep declaring your final attack against the person who is thought to win the whole tournament because you are a child and it's been a long day. I'd say that kid was something special and very smart at doing something card value wise with what he was given.
Mind you, this was a few years after the original series so I assume joey really stepped up his game in GX. I mean, Isnt he considered a pro duelist or something by GX?
I love how everyone else has either actual magic or more money than you can ever spend, and then joey is just REALLY good at the game. I know they clearly put the OG protags as the top 3 more for fan service than anything, but you gotta love seeing joey so high.

@@jersont.3339 Maybe but when Pegasus talk about him it's an image of Athem that is shown not Yugi. And if my memories are correct he is still connected in a way to ancient egypt so that kind of magical ?
At least he atone for his Bad deeds After losing his milenium eye he realized that nothing would bring his wife back So he decided it was time to move on
I am so happy to see Pegasus being mentioned in the anime. As much as they can sometimes, and they realize how popular he was, and didn't decide to kill him off like the manga
Not sure, Pegasus is iconic, but killing him feels like a more fitting conclusion for his character arc, now he could finally be with his beloved Cecelia.
@@thetombraiderfanYeah, but how he died in the manga wasn’t exactly a pleasant way to go out. Besides, the anime is a major reason why he’s so popular so it makes more sense for him to live in that continuity. At least until 5ds where he’s died and they hold a memorial tournament in his honor, but that’s only told via a poster in the sub.

@@thetombraiderfan Dying isn't a fitting conclusion to a character arc. For a former villain like Pegasus, the anime gave him the best conclusion to his character arc: aka fully reforming and becoming someone who helps out instead. He helped the heroes in the Orichalcos arc. And he gave a narration at the end of the ancient Egypt arc too. The anime actually improved on a lot from the manga in the ancient Egypt arc, most importantly, by including Kaiba in that arc.
People here have said it probably, but I was always amazed how Joey went from a joke, to being one of the best duelists of the world. Even Pegasus and Seto on different occasions admit he’s gotten to pro status.
Yes he sure became one of the top duelists.. he defeated odion ,valon Marik also except fot the fact that he fainted when he called for the final attack He is sure went for third rate duelist to third place duelist

@@Jojozzz_11 I love Joey as much as the next person. And while Joey definitely deserved to beat Marik, Joey never really won against Odion; Joey simply awoke from the coma and Odion didn't wake up during the duel.
Kaiba is an asshole and I hate how the anime tries to gaslight us into seeing him as a victim. ClassicManD says it best: "Just because someone has past trauma doesn't mean they get a pass to do horrible shit".
You can say that for real, and for everyone related to pro duel, Joey is in fact the third. Aster is a pro duelist, and is probably involved in the game in every single way. The fact that he didnt disagreed with the order given by Pegasus means that is generally acknowledged and accepted that Joey was at that very day, the top 3 of the world.

Everyone sleeping on joey when his deck in the last arc was stacked. Red eyes, gilford the lightning (true ace card IMHO), Claw of hermos (and all fusions), jinzo, rocket warrior, scapegoat, sixth sense( too op), graceful and skull dice (in the anime is multiplied so the effect is really awesome), marauding captain (fits well with his warrior theme deck), the fiend megacyber(not bad at the time, a bad version of cyber dragon), time wizard(not a fan on this card but with the luck of joey its a good one), gearfried the iron knight(gearfried the sword master and the combo with blast with chain). Bro joey at the end was really good with an stacked deck (well seto kaiba was paying 2 win and yugi is the main character lol)
I like people like you who understand and appreciate the strength of underrated characters like joey ..as you said maybe at first he wasn't that good but eventually his deck became very good even op you can say besides he almost beat marik if he didn't faint and he could take the power of raa too when he protected mai maan he deservs alot of credit..... i was laughing when u wrote (with Joey's luck) yeah it's very funny the gave him the best luck ever in the game lol
@@Jojozzz_11 of course, marik should have lost(joey won in my book). Mai lost also (joey didnt want to beat her). His defeats are with the main character and antagonist. Also joeys initial deck was from scrap of yugi and yugis grandpa then he won awesome cards and understood his strategy that suited him well. At last, everyone forgets about gilford and his effect was good at the time, too much disrepect to him. Joeys luck is that much that if he played sixth sense he would get 6 every time. Graverobber and foolish burial also two of his best cards, the latter is still meta today.
@@stevelleremy1685 back in the day was too risky but in the current meta almost all competitive cards have a graveyard effect so even discarding so many cards is beneficial to the player. At last if the person using sixth sense got it correct (5 or 6) is basically game over, that person already won
@ Gotcha. Didn’t get far enough in that series to meet him. From what I’ve seen of GX, the best duelist from there would probably be considered to be Zane.
I’m surprised Pegasus didn’t put himself on the list. Knowing his character, when he was asked who’s 5th, I’m shocked he didn’t say, “me of course”. Even though he is retired. He’s actually showing a lot of respect and not being biased. But if this kid asked Kaiba who was top 5, he would say: “Hmmm….. me, myself, I, Seto, Kaiba.”
Joey is literally the best normal duelist. Bro got zero Egyptian ties, no spirit inside him, no otherwordly influences, no none of that, plus, he had to make a gambling-based deck to compensate for the fact he had only TWO good cards. I assume at this point in the story he's probably got a way stronger and well-rounded deck.
ironically, the 'boy' suffix was one of the mannerisms of Pegasus they kept and he used that term specifically to drive the point that he was american in the japanese version. pegasus' flamboyant voice is not that different from the Japanese version if memory doesn't fail me.
@@alanchamberlain9902yea your right there was Exceptional duelist in the first Show, I’d point out Rafael who beat yugi fairly as well as Leon Zigfried also being one of the Best duelist in the world at the time getting to the Grand Final to duel yugi in season 5 that was no easy task since it was the biggest Tournament all around the world in that time period
joey as 3rd best duelist warms my heart. GX was really cool in that was so linked to DM that it felt like the yugioh universe was very big. also people forget that joey beat yugi off screen since they dueled to see who would keep red-eyes and joey has it next season. also the battle for 3rd place never happened in the manga which is why kaiba has more respect for joey in the manga than he ever did in the anime.
Nah. You don't actually believe Joey beat Yugi, do you? It's more of Yugi giving him for good sportsmanship (or true duelist in OG YGO lingo). Kaiba would have stroke if he ever heard Yugi lost to Jonouchi.
@@Kisamon I do because I don't think joey would except red-eyes until he beat him and it would be antithetical to joeys arc in battle city if he lost and was like "aw alright yuges, we had a good duel so i will except it even though i lost"
The only reason he was so strong was because he could read his opponent’s mind. Once he lost the Millennium Eye, he was merely the creator of the game, not necessarily one of its best players.
He was broken thanks to the Millennium Eye + toon cards. Without the eye it's still an excellent duelist as proved in his handicap match vs Cromwell and Bonaparte, but lack the skill to beat a duelist smart enough to counter his toon deck
@@TheUrobolosyugioh the movies xyz dragon cannon power crept toon world really badly. In the real card game you need the black stone of legend to get red-eyes toon dragon and toon bls to have a chance, or get lucky with toon page flip. Shame toon cyber dragon has summoning sickness and does not count as cyber dragon when on field/graveyard.
There is a largely unknown yugioh series that takes place a few months after the Battle City arc, known as Yu-Gi-Oh! R. By the end of that series, Joey is ranked as the best duelist in the Card Professor leaderboard after winning against a possessed Bandit Keith. If that is the peak of his skills back then, by the time GX comes around, it's no surprise he's legit one of the best. He DID mention he wanted to go pro someday, and i'm sure he finally did at some point.
@@troybrockmorales1444 a spinoff official manga. Its main antagonist, Yakou Tenma, is the user of The Wicked Gods, the counterpart of Yugi's Egyptian Gods. In the manga, Yakou took over KaibaCorp's Duel Server and kidnaps Tea to use her body as a temporary host to vessel the soul of Pegasus (he's dead in the manga). Thus, Yugi and his friends have to ascend to the top of the tower, fighting duelist mercenaries (known as Card Professors) along the way. There are quite a lot of archetypes introduced here. Most notably The Wicked Gods, Puppet Chess, Vampires, and Machina. This manga also serves as the first appearance of the Face Knights archetypal boss monster: Arcana Knight Joker.
That's more of a feat for Bandit Keith really. All Joey did was beat him and then he bacame HIM? Keith must have been well regarded as a dueslist at that point
I love this clip! One of my favourite scenes of GX. It shows just how powerful and skilled Aster is as a duelist! It definitely hypes up Jesse where we get to see more of his skills in the latter half of season 3! I would've loved it if more of the OG characters had cameos and mentioned their ranking of the GX characters, be interesting to see where Chazz, Zane, and Bastion would rank!
I honestly don’t think zane is that far behind aster. I’d say they’re even on par considering he nearly defeated yubel who was using Jesse’s deck. Take into the fact that Adrian defeated aster but yubel beat him
@@gammafrost I agree, I don't have a concrete spot for where I'd rank Zane, but given that Zane never actually lost to Jaden and almost defeated Yubel. Zane is definitely high on the list. I would've wanted to see Zane duel against Supreme King Jaden, rather than Yubel tho
@@LegitRUM that would’ve been epic and it seems like a missed opportunity looking back. Zane fighting the dark half of his close friend would have been much more symbolic
@@gammafrost Definitely! It would've been great to see Zane duel his close friends! And imagine if dark Zane duelled against Supreme King, Sartorius, Adrian, and even season 4 Chazz! I truly do wish that GX had a film or some type of extra holiday special, GX was peak Yugioh for me! The characters were perfect, the dub was too funny, and oh boy the archetypes featured were fantastic!!!
Joeys whole gameplan is based around luck. The fact that he made it from 0 to Top 3 on Pegasus’s list is incredible. In YGO 5Ds he also makes an appearance as a legendary duelist in one of the races. What a chad
I like how Jaden isn't even on Pegasus's radar at this time. The show had a bit of an issue with the main character becoming everything at the end, so it's refreshing to see that Jay still had to work his way up at the time.
I mean this scene takes places during a flashback, at the latest it’s early season 1. So Jaden would’ve just been a Silfer red that won a few duels, not really a top 5 person
@@Victor.1810 That’s what I said, we’re not sure exactly when this flashback takes place. If I had to guess it took place in between a few months of prior to the season to before the duel with Para and Dox.
Joey really deserves thqt title. He not only made it to the finals in every competition, but he gave both Yugi and Marak the edge of losing. Hes bold and always has a trick up his sleeve.
I think this makes more sense as the Pegasus Favorites list, not meant to be all-encompassing of every talented duelist in the world. He's clearly not going to be counting overpowered villains or tryhards (zane truesdale and others like him). He likes the players who take his game seriously but have a unique flair to their decks... which is why he likes seeing Aster and Jesse winning with the unique D-heros and crystal beasts
Zane lost to Edo so yeah I'd say he did take everyone into consideration. Jesse and Edo are both extremely strong in-universe, I'd put Saiou on top of them but he was only stronger because of the Light of Destruction manipulating fate.
@@sartouhou8349Judai beat both of them before he even unlocked his Supreme King powers. So it’s weird he’s not mentioned here despite Pegasus knowing about him since season 1 and him beating Edo ( or Aster) in season 2.
@@ssj4ssbgogeta957 This dialogue happened before Judai beat Jesse, and if happened after he beat Edo it's likely Pegasus simply didn't know about it since that duel happened in the school with like 10 people witness at best.
I don't think anyone would argue that. Every one loves a good underdog, and I haven't seen a single soul whose watched the original anime and hated Joey. Dude played with pure heart and a lot of luck. Sure, maybe it went a little TOO far in his favor, but I chalk that up to Joey being one lucky guy, which fits his character arc really well.
My top 5 (as of 2024) 1. That tearlaments player in the nationals 2. That tearlaments player in the regionals 3. That random tearlaments player I fought in a card shop 4. The shop owner who runs tearlament deck 5. Even the Janitor runs tearlaments.
I think that's a solid list everyone can agree with. Yugi is literally the King of Games and main character, Kaiba wins with his superior intellect and skills, and Joey is the ultimate underdog who shows the most growth out of all of them. Aster Phoenix and Jessie should be honored to be among them. And it's both interesting and very telling that Pegasus, the first big bad of the series and creator of the game, doesn't even bother to place himself in the top ten list.
Joey honestly feels like the true main character of Yu-Gi-Oh seeing as he had to climb such a steep curve compared to the other characters to learn, win, and get as good as he did
The choice to put Edo over Johan is so fascinating. I think it emphasizes that this isn't about power creep - Johan isn't "Edo but slightly stronger", but rather a duelist who can compete with Edo's skill, just like Jaden is. He isn't meant to be the new rival that Jaden defeats, he's meant to be the type of person he wants to know.
0:14 LMAO Joey became so obsessed with coin and dice cards that he ended up with a gambling addiction hahaha. Seriously, this guy needs more medical atention than his sister.
People here really think in the 10 years between the OG series & GX on the Anime Timeline, Joey couldn't have become one of the greatest duelists in the world? Especially the added Red-Eyes cards Pegasus makes & that we see with Addicus. It makes perfect sense that Pegasus made those cards to help Joey beat Kaiba as a way to piss off Kaiba.
he was already one during the OG Series. He was a finalist of Duelist kingdom(fighting pegasus was the price, so Yugi v Joey was the final), beat the Runner up of a regional championship, beat the runner up of the United states The King of Duelists tournament.(bandit keith) Became a Semi finalist in battle city Beat a GOD CARD(if not for shadow games shenanigans, granted if we did disqualifie shenanigans then he would "Only" have been a quarter finalist) canonicly beat yugi at least once do regain Red eyes. and so on
Deserved W for Joey. Bro was boutta beat Marik if magic bullshit didn’t put him in a coma, and I still believe he beat Yugi at the end of Battle City to get his Red-Eyes back.
Well minus Jaiden I guess. He basically dueled evenly with Yugi who is number 1. So Pegasus rankings would change to 1. Yugi/Jaiden 2. Jaiden/Yugi 3. Seto Kaiba 4. Joey Wheeler 5. Astor Phoenix
@@demonfoxnaruto95 We do not know if he beat Yugi. It could happend that was a tie and Yugo gave him tha card or even Joey lost but it was really good duel so Yugi dicided to give Red Eyes to Joey. Or it was all just luck on Joeys side and somehow he was so lucky he defeated plot armor and heart of the cards. And also if you beat someone that do not mean that you better overall duelist. Like Rafael beat Yugi but he is not better overall. Joey lost to Seeker, but i still thin Joey is better then Seeker
@@MightySuki I think that joey had to have beat Yugi to get it back due to the fact it was during kaibas tournament, It doesn't make joey better than yugi cause yugi does lose even if its rare, I also dont think yugi Would need to use his power to duel joey since he had no reason too.
I mean he got some respect. After all kaiba did invited him for the world cup. Wich is a tournament where kaiba decided who would participate. So at that point kaiba likely did admit that joey had some skill.
The fact that Pegasus recognises Joey is brilliant. It's just funny how Kaiba is in denial about Joey's Dueling prowess. I mean Joey did beat Yugi to get his Red Eyes back.
@@97z33 Takahashi did not confirm that yugi won that duel. Infact not only did he have Red eyes in DSOD(which is manga canon) Takahashi actually stated FAR before that that jonoichi won that duel and got red eyes back
Joey being third is an example of why Red eyes represents potential. Joey is able to compete amongs god card holders without owning any himself. He is also able to unlock "heart of the cards" hack by sheer willpower alone where as yami yugi does use the millennium puzzle to do it even unknowingly. With the right hax cards he could easily beat kaiba and maybe even yugi, but he was never given the right cards. The entire series he used the most trash decks possible and still almost beat marik. Im not a Joey fan or anything, but its still impressive. He is just held back by plot armor.
Considering Yugi is essentially two duelists in one and Kaiba has the backing of a multi million dollar corporation backing his skills, the fact Joey takes the bronze medal when he has nothing but his own gumption and luck is extremely impressive.
This really goes a long way to explain why all the duelists in Yugioh GX seamed to be such huge disappointment. Because after all. When your talking about the Top 5 Best Duelists in the World, The 5 Highest Mountains in the World of Dueling. When one of those 5 peaks is Joey Wheeler, everybody else in the world goes down hill fast.
The shots of yugi and kaiba are taken from the Japanese intro of season 4 of duel monsters. The shot of Joey is taken from the Japanese outro of season 4. This intro and outro was used for the later episodes of season 3 and early episodes of season 5, but was most prominent in season 4.
I mean assuming Joey got the Red Eyes upgrade like in Duel Links I think that makes him viable for Top 3. Cause after all GX does take place some time after Duel Monsters.
@@sasharyugazaki4400It's not an episode, he is talking about Duel Links (video game), in which they continue a lot of stuff from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime series. In duel links, Joey has voice lines with a lot of new support for the Red-Eyes archetype, so technically, his deck must have been upgraded just as Yugi's and Kaiba's were during the Dark side of Dimensions movie (even though Joey did not duel in that movie)
Top 5 duelist who use or used millennium items or other artifacts 1) Yami Yugi 2) Dartz 3) Yami Marik 4) Yami Bakura 5) Maximillion Pegasus --- Top 5 duelist who play relatively fair-play 1) Seto Kaiba 2) Ziegfried 3) Rafael 4) Joey Wheeler 5) Mai Valentine
Ishizu could probably beat Yami Marik, Yami Bakura, and she'd beat Pegasus for sure. I'd say for the duelists that don't use Millennium Items the best order would be 1. Kaiba, 2. Ziegfried, 3. Gozoboro, 4. Rafael, 5. Odion.
People Forget Joey Wheeler is the only guy on that list who made it too the top with pure dueling skills and with normal cards , In change from Yugi and Kaiba
I mean mai is good. But its proven time after time that if she really mettles with jugi, joey and kaiba she is out off her leaque. She is probably like top 10 but definitly not top 3-5
Probable Top 5 after the end of GX. 1. Yugi (Obviously) 2. Jaden (I know this one's gonna be controversial but I DO think end of GX Jaden IS better than Kaiba. He goes through a lot of growth and he's basically propped up as the next king of games. I know fans of the OG wouldn't like it though.) 3. Kaiba 4. Joey 5. Aster (It's either him or Zane but I do think Aster has a more consistent track record)
Yugi sort of quit duel monsters when Atem left, and he designed his own game (it's similar to Capsule Monsters). Seto Kaiba also sort of retired, focusing on his company and building Duel Academy. Joey, I have no idea what he could be doing. As someone who wanted to become a Pro, he never has to face people like Zane or Aster.
I think he speaks about Atem because the photo yes yugi is better than Atem but i think He mean Him or He thinks when me say that the one is are 3000 years Old Pharao and the Other one are child that Getting possesed by the Pharao Kaiba don't have any interest because no Pharao so yea Maybe He just dueling Good duelist or to op for gx i mean would you like See asta destory joey on are duel The point is no one can beat one of them so its would be are bad choice to make are Duell their can't win me mean would you belive that (no season 5 or 4 jaden ) can defeat seto or joey
@@MorebluethanblueeverycouldbeFrom what i heard, Dark side of dimensions is a sequel to the manga, being in a different continuity from the anime. Which makes sense, in the anime Kaiba aceptes Yugi as the best duelist after watching his duel with Atem. In the manga Kaiba was not there to watch the duel, which is why he was still obssessed with the Pharoh in the movie
Love how Yugi and Kaiba appear in traditional poses and Joey just lookin like he living the thug life
Lol yesh i thought so too ;)
I love also how they don't forget the original characters of the anime,no matter how many parts still yugi and kaiba are the best
@@Jojozzz_11 Joey the best he didn't need bs Pharoah magic and money to be the top
@@sandwicheman9772 most if his cards relied purely on luck. Cards mainly based on dice rolling or coin tossing.
But him pulling out The Red Eyes armour out of nowhere sounds like pure magic bs
@@connorwood9211 To be fair it is canon that joey switched to a red eyes centered deck like yugi and kaiba
Joey got the drip
If kaiba heard joey made pegasus's top 5 list he would be dying right now of laughter 😂
To be honest in manga and anime Kaiba *DID* respect Joey eventhough it is not as an equal.
@Paraone Ngatai I can really see that being the case and it really sucks that Joey didn’t make an appearance in gx.
Kaiba knowledged that they were a great duelist during their duel towards the end of Battle City. Kaiba isn't anywhere near the obnoxious jerk he is in the 4Kids dub in the manga. 4Kids would make most of his dialogue somehow douchey and would even add entirely new lines where there were no lines at all just so Kaiba has more oppertunities to be a dick for no reason. For instance, when Kaiba passes by them on the Kaiba Corp Battle City Blimp, there were no lines, just Kaiba silently gliding by, but in the dub they add the line "Winners First!" to make him look obnoxious. It's funny because Kaiba didn't win any tournaments lately, including before or after his recent losses.
I can hear him now lol
In the japanese dub Kaiba acknowledges Joey as an equal during the fight against yami marik
It's astonishing to see Joey become the third best duelist, it's amazes me how he evolved as a completely rookie to a legend
Yeah he sure deserved this place, joey is also underrated i am glad he got some credit.. he had a good development in the show like you said
Pegasus is the creator of all that game, he opinion is really important. Leon and Rebecca lost to Yugi and unlike them, Joey had a match with Yugi which he canonically won (confirmed by the author). Joey grew so much in a year since he played Duel Monsters, it's not surprising that he got this far when he gained more experience. Zane and Jaiden are from another generation later, it is unknown if Pegasus was alive or not at that time.
@Tiffany Roberts you do realize aster Phoenix beat Jayden right?
@Tiffany Roberts Joey is easily number 3, he's a legend and learned from yugi which is the nr 1
Stop hatin
@Tiffany Roberts U are really hating on a yugioh Charakter damn.
Every main character has plot armor
The duels are meant to be exciting
I love that Joey is literally a "third rate duelist" based on this list. Making Kiaba right😂
Third rate does not mean third top of the world.
@akashafofo7939 It does when Second Rate is calling you that.
Very clever observation

But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!
-Matthew 16:22-
Jesus knew exactly what was in His future. It came as no surprise to Him. He knew who would betray Him, He knew He would rise from the dead, and He knew exactly when these things would happen.
And at Caesarea Philippi, He began to tell His disciples what He was facing.
Matthew’s Gospel says, “From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead”
(Matthew 16:21)
In the original language, Jesus used a word for “killed” that could be translated “murdered.”
Peter couldn’t believe that Jesus was saying this. In Peter’s mind, this simply couldn’t happen. It was commendable that Peter was truly concerned about the Lord. But he was missing what Jesus was trying to say. And he went too far when he took Jesus aside and “began to reprimand him,” saying, “Heaven forbid, Lord. . . . This will never happen to you!”
(verse 22)
Interestingly, the word translated “reprimand” in this verse carries the idea of someone in a position of authority rebuking a subordinate. That is the way Peter began to reprimand Jesus. And the language implies that he did this repeatedly.
Imagine it for a moment. Jesus had just made a statement about His impending suffering and death. He obviously was in anguish over it. And then Peter took an authoritarian position and repeatedly began to reprimand Him. Peter had lost touch with reality.
Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s”
(verse 23)
We have to love a guy like Peter, because he was so utterly human. He said what many of us probably would have said in such a situation. He was impulsive, impetuous, and hotheaded but also very honest, courageous, and intelligent. And perhaps he was the most accessible of all the followers of Jesus.
May God help us to trust Him when He doesn’t do things the way we think He should and when we’re tempted to say, “Why, Lord?”
God is thinking of His eternal purposes. We can only see what will benefit us in this moment. But God is looking at the big picture. And He knows what He’s doing.
It is during these times that we must trust Him, cast ourselves at His feet, and say, “Lord, I admit to You that I don’t understand. I don’t know why. But I thank You that You are in control.”
There are a lot of things that will happen in life that we won’t understand. It is during those times that we must fall back on what we do understand: God loves us. And He is looking out for our best interests.
nope@@KopperNeoman
Joey is the true King Of Games. Look at how many duels he's been in where his opponent was blatantly cheating and he STILL won.
Joey cheated too
C' mon bro, everybody cheat in this anime
Honestly though, I can't really think of a time Joey cheated, if you ignore things like summoning in face up defense which I think we can assume is just legal in the anime version of the game, Joey is probably one of the only good duelists that you can expect not to TRY and cheat, Atem and Yugi basically coach each other in every duel and Kaiba will absolutely duel you under duress if it's a day ending in y or even put HIMSELF under duress if things are dire enough.
@@johnnytrejocorteshe still never slipped a card into his opponents deck to help him or stole something they needed for a forefit
Joey's deck was full of absolute dogshit and yet he still lucksacked his way up to the top. If he had a deck that was even halfway coherent it's likely that yes, he could have been King of Games.

Its like he is saying:
"Enjoy these normal days while you can, because you are going to face some strange supernatural stuff I had to face in the original series"

Fun fact: that image of Joey is from the 4th ending theme. Kinda interesting how they used that instead of some frame from the show itself

He looked badass thats why
Wish they used more up to date images. Really wanted to see older Yugi(not Yami).

Considering Joey didn’t have a card shop, Destiny Draw, or a whole corporation, he did pretty damn good. Especially considering one of the cards he had to rely on was an infinitely worse version of Negate Attack (Compensation Mediation).
My point exactly! Joey Wheeler rulez! 😎🤙🏻
Let not forget he also learned from the best, Yugi and his grandfather
Plus Yugi and his grandpa did give him some cards. Yugi gave him a time wizard and another card. While his grandpa gave him spells and traps though his probably did pay for some of them. the fact he could use a deck that is not compatible with itself speaks volumes . Joey is a great duelist with nearly insane luck, I wish he played the lotto at least once.

He was impulsive, impetuous, and hotheaded but also very honest, courageous, and intelligent. And perhaps he was the most accessible of all the followers of Jesus.
May God help us to trust Him when He doesn’t do things the way we think He should and when we’re tempted to say, “Why, Lord?”
God is thinking of His eternal purposes. We can only see what will benefit us in this moment. But God is looking at the big picture. And He knows what He’s doing.
It is during these times that we must trust Him, cast ourselves at His feet, and say, “Lord, I admit to You that I don’t understand. I don’t know why. But I thank You that You are in control.”
There are a lot of things that will happen in life that we won’t understand. It is during those times that we must fall back on what we do understand: God loves us. And He is looking out for our best interests.
Joey is literally the best natural duelest in the series. No god cards, no magical egyptian artifacts, no destined superpowers like the supreme king or signers. Just pure skill and luck and he made his way to the top.
Joey was probably the one who worked the hardest to earn his spot. The man at the beginning of the series didnt even know the basics, but gave it his all and his strategies improved. Duelist City was probably his best arc
@@seleviathan He had his moments in Waking the Dragons
duelist city is the best arc altogether for me, even across all yugioh generations.
*Battle City
@@lsw3364same difference lol
GX is supposed to be set 10 yrs after the OG series. By Gx's time, Joey probably retooled his deck and his play style. the gamble heavy deck was to compensate for Joey's limited access to rare, super rare, and ultra rare cards bar Red Eyes and Time Wizard.
Isn't that 5D's
@@PTMMasterDuel
5D’s is set sometime in future after GX since GX’s domino city hasn’t been split into Neo Domino and Satellite. GX is set 10 years after DM based on the canon timeline
@@PTMMasterDuel 5ds is Set way more than 10 years After The Original Series Due to the existence of the charecter Tetsuo Ushio since it was confirmed he was the same charecter that bullied Yugi and he was about Yugi's age (16) and in 5ds he seems much older and Mature so I would say he is about 40 something years so a 30 year time skip
@@PTMMasterDuel as for GX the person Judai meets is Definitely Yugi Muto (not Atem the pharoh) as it seems he doesn't wear the puzzle and he sounds like Yami so I can conclude it's a Grown up Yugi
Peggy probably made the red eyes support we see today and Joey was OTKing niggas off screen 😂
It’s nice to see Pegasus give Joey his respect. True underdog story
Yes, Joey in the first season of Duel Monsters was an amateur. But by Season 5, he is an expert Duelist. Joey Wheeler is the Rocky Balboa of Yu-gi-oh.
He said he's his favorite, not the best.
@@brucewayne2184I think that being in Pegasus’ top 5 is enough to assume that Joey was top 5 at this point in the show. Let’s not forget he pulled off insane upsets time after time as an amateur, while also practically beating Marik had he not passed out.

But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!
-Matthew 16:22-
Jesus knew exactly what was in His future. It came as no surprise to Him. He knew who would betray Him, He knew He would rise from the dead, and He knew exactly when these things would happen.
And at Caesarea Philippi, He began to tell His disciples what He was facing.
Matthew’s Gospel says, “From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead”
(Matthew 16:21)
In the original language, Jesus used a word for “killed” that could be translated “murdered.”
Peter couldn’t believe that Jesus was saying this. In Peter’s mind, this simply couldn’t happen. It was commendable that Peter was truly concerned about the Lord. But he was missing what Jesus was trying to say. And he went too far when he took Jesus aside and “began to reprimand him,” saying, “Heaven forbid, Lord. . . . This will never happen to you!”
(verse 22)
Interestingly, the word translated “reprimand” in this verse carries the idea of someone in a position of authority rebuking a subordinate. That is the way Peter began to reprimand Jesus. And the language implies that he did this repeatedly.
Imagine it for a moment. Jesus had just made a statement about His impending suffering and death. He obviously was in anguish over it. And then Peter took an authoritarian position and repeatedly began to reprimand Him. Peter had lost touch with reality.
Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s”

My jaw dropped when Pegasus ranked Joey #3. That is very generous of Pegasus to rank Joey his 3rd best.
Same here lol ... i was amazed when i saw this but it's good they didn't abandon him .at first he wasn't that great duelist but then he proved he is worthy.. i like Joey
To be fair, given how shitty Joey's deck was and how he never Paid2Win (Kaiba) and Cheated (Yugi) he was just lucky and rng based, but he still made the absolute most out of nothing.
If some random kid walked into your locals and just started trashing world class duelists with a deck that runs Swordsman of Fucking Landstar got 3rd place. Then just decided to go to a regional and knock out people who have top 8'd at worlds with that same deck only to get to top 4 at the regional and fall asleep declaring your final attack against the person who is thought to win the whole tournament because you are a child and it's been a long day.
I'd say that kid was something special and very smart at doing something card value wise with what he was given.
He's third since he's a THIRD rate duelist
Well joey whas top 3 in batle city if he had won marik and i think he won bigos marik had his plot armor
Mind you, this was a few years after the original series so I assume joey really stepped up his game in GX. I mean, Isnt he considered a pro duelist or something by GX?
I love how everyone else has either actual magic or more money than you can ever spend, and then joey is just REALLY good at the game. I know they clearly put the OG protags as the top 3 more for fan service than anything, but you gotta love seeing joey so high.

@@jersont.3339 Maybe but when Pegasus talk about him it's an image of Athem that is shown not Yugi. And if my memories are correct he is still connected in a way to ancient egypt so that kind of magical ?
It’s not fan service. Joey with Destiny Hero’s would mop the floor in GX
Claw of Hermoes: really? Right in front of my magical fucking appearance?
Pegasus acknowledging Joey Wheeler in such a way is actually mind blowing. Genuinely a cool moment.
I mean when u have cheap cards and a very unbalanced deck. and still wins yea lol

Yeah I prefer Pegasus alive too. The manga did him very dirty
Paegus was diabolical in the manga, lol he kidnapped and deleted people.
@@Nick2quickOfficial Yeah, in the english dub of the anime he just sent people to the shadow realm and had his goons use invisible guns. No killing.
At least he atone for his Bad deeds
After losing his milenium eye he realized that nothing would bring his wife back
So he decided it was time to move on
@@jaimeplaza7277 "At least he atone for his Bad deeds " rofl no he didn't, he just got away with everything.
I am so happy to see Pegasus being mentioned in the anime. As much as they can sometimes, and they realize how popular he was, and didn't decide to kill him off like the manga
Not sure, Pegasus is iconic, but killing him feels like a more fitting conclusion for his character arc, now he could finally be with his beloved Cecelia.
@@thetombraiderfanYeah, but how he died in the manga wasn’t exactly a pleasant way to go out. Besides, the anime is a major reason why he’s so popular so it makes more sense for him to live in that continuity.
At least until 5ds where he’s died and they hold a memorial tournament in his honor, but that’s only told via a poster in the sub.

@@thetombraiderfan
Dying isn't a fitting conclusion to a character arc. For a former villain like Pegasus, the anime gave him the best conclusion to his character arc: aka fully reforming and becoming someone who helps out instead. He helped the heroes in the Orichalcos arc. And he gave a narration at the end of the ancient Egypt arc too.
The anime actually improved on a lot from the manga in the ancient Egypt arc, most importantly, by including Kaiba in that arc.
People here have said it probably, but I was always amazed how Joey went from a joke, to being one of the best duelists of the world. Even Pegasus and Seto on different occasions admit he’s gotten to pro status.
Yes he sure became one of the top duelists.. he defeated odion ,valon
Marik also except fot the fact that he fainted when he called for the final attack
He is sure went for third rate duelist to third place duelist

Joey got approved by the creator of the card game
Joey is the epitome of an anime underdog character. Exceptional backstory throughout the decades. Kaiba still hates him tho lol
Kaiba is an asshole and I hate how the anime tries to gaslight us into seeing him as a victim.
ClassicManD says it best: "Just because someone has past trauma doesn't mean they get a pass to do horrible shit".
The number two spot goes to Seto Kaiba.

So you have choosen manga💀
If it was anyone but yugi he would be pissed 😂
Joey the only OG to not need that BS magic, money, or family support in any way. If anything joey provided support to his family and the money

You can say that for real, and for everyone related to pro duel, Joey is in fact the third. Aster is a pro duelist, and is probably involved in the game in every single way. The fact that he didnt disagreed with the order given by Pegasus means that is generally acknowledged and accepted that Joey was at that very day, the top 3 of the world.

I love how Pegasus acknowledges Joey's skills. I wish that the series did more of that
Everyone sleeping on joey when his deck in the last arc was stacked. Red eyes, gilford the lightning (true ace card IMHO), Claw of hermos (and all fusions), jinzo, rocket warrior, scapegoat, sixth sense( too op), graceful and skull dice (in the anime is multiplied so the effect is really awesome), marauding captain (fits well with his warrior theme deck), the fiend megacyber(not bad at the time, a bad version of cyber dragon), time wizard(not a fan on this card but with the luck of joey its a good one), gearfried the iron knight(gearfried the sword master and the combo with blast with chain). Bro joey at the end was really good with an stacked deck (well seto kaiba was paying 2 win and yugi is the main character lol)
I like people like you who understand and appreciate the strength of underrated characters like joey ..as you said maybe at first he wasn't that good but eventually his deck became very good even op you can say besides he almost beat marik if he didn't faint and he could take the power of raa too when he protected mai maan he deservs alot of credit..... i was laughing when u wrote (with Joey's luck) yeah it's very funny the gave him the best luck ever in the game lol
@@Jojozzz_11 of course, marik should have lost(joey won in my book). Mai lost also (joey didnt want to beat her). His defeats are with the main character and antagonist. Also joeys initial deck was from scrap of yugi and yugis grandpa then he won awesome cards and understood his strategy that suited him well. At last, everyone forgets about gilford and his effect was good at the time, too much disrepect to him. Joeys luck is that much that if he played sixth sense he would get 6 every time.
Graverobber and foolish burial also two of his best cards, the latter is still meta today.
Sorry why sixth sense is considerd OP? I see it too risky to play
@@stevelleremy1685 back in the day was too risky but in the current meta almost all competitive cards have a graveyard effect so even discarding so many cards is beneficial to the player. At last if the person using sixth sense got it correct (5 or 6) is basically game over, that person already won
I mean, Joey had Marik beat. Lol Kaiba would have probably lost to Joey, if it weren’t for his crush card virus.
Joey vs Jesse would’ve been amazing duel. With Joey skill and his warrior monsters, and Jesse crystal monsters
Which series is Jesse from?
@ Jesse is from Yugioh gx
@ Gotcha. Didn’t get far enough in that series to meet him. From what I’ve seen of GX, the best duelist from there would probably be considered to be Zane.
@@Skyblade12GX is good along with 5D’s, people heavily sleep on both

Nice to see Joey getting the praise he deserves
I’m surprised Pegasus didn’t put himself on the list. Knowing his character, when he was asked who’s 5th, I’m shocked he didn’t say, “me of course”. Even though he is retired. He’s actually showing a lot of respect and not being biased.
But if this kid asked Kaiba who was top 5, he would say: “Hmmm….. me, myself, I, Seto, Kaiba.”
Joey is literally the best normal duelist. Bro got zero Egyptian ties, no spirit inside him, no otherwordly influences, no none of that, plus, he had to make a gambling-based deck to compensate for the fact he had only TWO good cards. I assume at this point in the story he's probably got a way stronger and well-rounded deck.
He sounds like James' first voice actor in Pokémon. When he says Jesse...it just feels right....except with the "boy" of course.

joey as 3rd best duelist warms my heart. GX was really cool in that was so linked to DM that it felt like the yugioh universe was very big.
also people forget that joey beat yugi off screen since they dueled to see who would keep red-eyes and joey has it next season. also the battle for 3rd place never happened in the manga which is why kaiba has more respect for joey in the manga than he ever did in the anime.
The new generation respected the OG duelists, they kept talking about yugi and kaiba
Nah. You don't actually believe Joey beat Yugi, do you? It's more of Yugi giving him for good sportsmanship (or true duelist in OG YGO lingo). Kaiba would have stroke if he ever heard Yugi lost to Jonouchi.
@@Kisamon I do because I don't think joey would except red-eyes until he beat him and it would be antithetical to joeys arc in battle city if he lost and was like "aw alright yuges, we had a good duel so i will except it even though i lost"
Gotta admire Pegasus' honesty for basically admitting that he himself isn't even in the top 5 best duelists.
The only reason he was so strong was because he could read his opponent’s mind. Once he lost the Millennium Eye, he was merely the creator of the game, not necessarily one of its best players.
He was broken thanks to the Millennium Eye + toon cards. Without the eye it's still an excellent duelist as proved in his handicap match vs Cromwell and Bonaparte, but lack the skill to beat a duelist smart enough to counter his toon deck

After beating Bandit Keith, he earned a black duel disk which he gave to the girl he borrowed one from
That's more of a feat for Bandit Keith really. All Joey did was beat him and then he bacame HIM? Keith must have been well regarded as a dueslist at that point
I love this clip! One of my favourite scenes of GX. It shows just how powerful and skilled Aster is as a duelist! It definitely hypes up Jesse where we get to see more of his skills in the latter half of season 3! I would've loved it if more of the OG characters had cameos and mentioned their ranking of the GX characters, be interesting to see where Chazz, Zane, and Bastion would rank!
I honestly don’t think zane is that far behind aster. I’d say they’re even on par considering he nearly defeated yubel who was using Jesse’s deck. Take into the fact that Adrian defeated aster but yubel beat him
@@gammafrost I agree, I don't have a concrete spot for where I'd rank Zane, but given that Zane never actually lost to Jaden and almost defeated Yubel. Zane is definitely high on the list. I would've wanted to see Zane duel against Supreme King Jaden, rather than Yubel tho
@@LegitRUM that would’ve been epic and it seems like a missed opportunity looking back. Zane fighting the dark half of his close friend would have been much more symbolic
@@gammafrost Definitely! It would've been great to see Zane duel his close friends! And imagine if dark Zane duelled against Supreme King, Sartorius, Adrian, and even season 4 Chazz! I truly do wish that GX had a film or some type of extra holiday special, GX was peak Yugioh for me! The characters were perfect, the dub was too funny, and oh boy the archetypes featured were fantastic!!!
I don't listen nor watch the English dub of GX done by 4Kids.
Joeys whole gameplan is based around luck. The fact that he made it from 0 to Top 3 on Pegasus’s list is incredible. In YGO 5Ds he also makes an appearance as a legendary duelist in one of the races. What a chad
Ha you see, Wheeler is a third rate dualist!
Bruh 😂
Third rate duelist with fourth rate deck 🤣
Yet An underdog that managed to make Yami Marik Cripple in fear
@@jofx4051 He' ranked 3rd and his deck does SEEM 4th rate but he's lucky so its 3rd rate...but 3rd rate in the anime is 3rd in the world, which is OP.
@@cyriszx Marik still won tho.
Joey looks ready to drop the best Rap Album of the Millennium
I like how Jaden isn't even on Pegasus's radar at this time. The show had a bit of an issue with the main character becoming everything at the end, so it's refreshing to see that Jay still had to work his way up at the time.
I mean this scene takes places during a flashback, at the latest it’s early season 1. So Jaden would’ve just been a Silfer red that won a few duels, not really a top 5 person
@@BlueBlazeKingPegasus ranked the duelists he knows on the date of the flashback. He didn't know Jaden existed, he only met him in the 2nd season.
@@Victor.1810 That’s what I said, we’re not sure exactly when this flashback takes place. If I had to guess it took place in between a few months of prior to the season to before the duel with Para and Dox.
Joey was a F2P duelist and still managed to be in the top 3. Impressive!
Pegasus is probably my favorite Yugioh character due to the strong voice acting and consistent camp. So glad they kept him around in the anime.
Joey really deserves thqt title. He not only made it to the finals in every competition, but he gave both Yugi and Marak the edge of losing. Hes bold and always has a trick up his sleeve.
Too bad he still doesn't get any respect from Kaiba
@@Straightedgex34Kaiba does grow to respect Joey as a duelist after battle city. It’s only in the 4kids dub that he never acknowledges his skill
I think this makes more sense as the Pegasus Favorites list, not meant to be all-encompassing of every talented duelist in the world. He's clearly not going to be counting overpowered villains or tryhards (zane truesdale and others like him). He likes the players who take his game seriously but have a unique flair to their decks... which is why he likes seeing Aster and Jesse winning with the unique D-heros and crystal beasts
Zane lost to Edo so yeah I'd say he did take everyone into consideration. Jesse and Edo are both extremely strong in-universe, I'd put Saiou on top of them but he was only stronger because of the Light of Destruction manipulating fate.
@@sartouhou8349Judai beat both of them before he even unlocked his Supreme King powers. So it’s weird he’s not mentioned here despite Pegasus knowing about him since season 1 and him beating Edo ( or Aster) in season 2.
@@ssj4ssbgogeta957 This dialogue happened before Judai beat Jesse, and if happened after he beat Edo it's likely Pegasus simply didn't know about it since that duel happened in the school with like 10 people witness at best.
Mad props to Jesse Kotton to making it into Pegasus's Top 5.
You mean Jessie Wheeler.
@@somehuman1901jessie anderson
I couldn't care less how ppl feel, Joey EARNED that ranking. Thank goodness they quit faking on him
I don't think anyone would argue that. Every one loves a good underdog, and I haven't seen a single soul whose watched the original anime and hated Joey. Dude played with pure heart and a lot of luck. Sure, maybe it went a little TOO far in his favor, but I chalk that up to Joey being one lucky guy, which fits his character arc really well.
I half expected Pegasus to say Kaiba-boy
My top 5 (as of 2024)
1. That tearlaments player in the nationals
2. That tearlaments player in the regionals
3. That random tearlaments player I fought in a card shop
4. The shop owner who runs tearlament deck
5. Even the Janitor runs tearlaments.
@@tristanbartolome2840 How come Mai never made it to the ranks?
I’m so proud to see Joey at #3 just a normal guy with no powers and wasn’t rich he just learned the game and became great!
I think that's a solid list everyone can agree with. Yugi is literally the King of Games and main character, Kaiba wins with his superior intellect and skills, and Joey is the ultimate underdog who shows the most growth out of all of them.
Aster Phoenix and Jessie should be honored to be among them. And it's both interesting and very telling that Pegasus, the first big bad of the series and creator of the game, doesn't even bother to place himself in the top ten list.
Joey honestly feels like the true main character of Yu-Gi-Oh seeing as he had to climb such a steep curve compared to the other characters to learn, win, and get as good as he did
The choice to put Edo over Johan is so fascinating. I think it emphasizes that this isn't about power creep - Johan isn't "Edo but slightly stronger", but rather a duelist who can compete with Edo's skill, just like Jaden is. He isn't meant to be the new rival that Jaden defeats, he's meant to be the type of person he wants to know.
Edo was also a pro duelist with no lost in his pro career at this point
Jesse being in that list was astonishing since jesse was not even a pro yet
0:14 LMAO Joey became so obsessed with coin and dice cards that he ended up with a gambling addiction hahaha.
Seriously, this guy needs more medical atention than his sister.
By this time he switched to a red eyes/warrior deck type.
"her" sister? Did Joey switch his gender or something? 🐢
@@xdryan2.o572 No, I'm just dumb and somehow wrote that wrong, thanks for pointing out hahaha
@@maestradebobobo767 Np 😏👍
considering Jesse only has like 7 monsters, that’s more generous than Joey getting third
Seems like they made quite the impression with Pegasus, even though he was a former villain. He always did have respect for his opponents.
Joey evolved from a third rate duelist to third place ranking
People here really think in the 10 years between the OG series & GX on the Anime Timeline, Joey couldn't have become one of the greatest duelists in the world? Especially the added Red-Eyes cards Pegasus makes & that we see with Addicus. It makes perfect sense that Pegasus made those cards to help Joey beat Kaiba as a way to piss off Kaiba.
he was already one during the OG Series.
He was a finalist of Duelist kingdom(fighting pegasus was the price, so Yugi v Joey was the final),
beat the Runner up of a regional championship,
beat the runner up of the United states The King of Duelists tournament.(bandit keith)
Became a Semi finalist in battle city
Beat a GOD CARD(if not for shadow games shenanigans, granted if we did disqualifie shenanigans then he would "Only" have been a quarter finalist)
canonicly beat yugi at least once do regain Red eyes. and so on
Just goes to show that Joey was not a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck if he made the top 3 in Pegasus's list of duelists.
“Is that Joey Wheeler?!”
“No, that’s his cousin, Jesse Wheeler!”
this makes me want to rewatch the series but pay more attention to Joey progress
Deserved W for Joey.
Bro was boutta beat Marik if magic bullshit didn’t put him in a coma, and I still believe he beat Yugi at the end of Battle City to get his Red-Eyes back.
It's canon that Yugi won the duel, sadly
Gotta give props to Joey. 3rd place without millennium items or god cards and even without knowing the rules at the start
I actually never noticed how friggin' tall Pegasus was until now 😅
Started with him doing everything he could to afford his sister operation to then helping his friend save the world he has a very strong heart
I love the idea of a formal event that revolves around a card game.
I love how This implies that joey could just destroy any duelist in yugioh gx 😂
Well minus Jaiden I guess. He basically dueled evenly with Yugi who is number 1. So Pegasus rankings would change to
1. Yugi/Jaiden
2. Jaiden/Yugi
3. Seto Kaiba
4. Joey Wheeler
5. Astor Phoenix
@@genericwhitemale9566
I would say
1. Yugi
2. Kaiba
3. Jaden
4. Joey
5. Astor
woah woah are we going to forget that Joey beat yugi at some point to get his Red eyes back, so if anything Joey would be above jaden
@@demonfoxnaruto95 We do not know if he beat Yugi. It could happend that was a tie and Yugo gave him tha card or even Joey lost but it was really good duel so Yugi dicided to give Red Eyes to Joey. Or it was all just luck on Joeys side and somehow he was so lucky he defeated plot armor and heart of the cards. And also if you beat someone that do not mean that you better overall duelist. Like Rafael beat Yugi but he is not better overall. Joey lost to Seeker, but i still thin Joey is better then Seeker
@@MightySuki I think that joey had to have beat Yugi to get it back due to the fact it was during kaibas tournament, It doesn't make joey better than yugi cause yugi does lose even if its rare, I also dont think yugi Would need to use his power to duel joey since he had no reason too.
Funny how Joey earned Pegasus’s respect, but not Kaiba’s.
I mean he got some respect. After all kaiba did invited him for the world cup. Wich is a tournament where kaiba decided who would participate. So at that point kaiba likely did admit that joey had some skill.
@@jeltevl8868 He was seen as a equal by kaiba at the end of the marik duel in the japanese dub
The fact that Pegasus recognises Joey is brilliant. It's just funny how Kaiba is in denial about Joey's Dueling prowess.
I mean Joey did beat Yugi to get his Red Eyes back.
Actually Joey lost that duel (confirmed)
@@shinybreloom324 How come he got his Red Eyes back?
I could have sworn I heard it was confirmed he won.
Cause Joey's 0-2 vs Kaiba
@@HarryAyA It's confirmed by Takahashi himself that Yugi won the duel
@@97z33 Takahashi did not confirm that yugi won that duel.
Infact not only did he have Red eyes in DSOD(which is manga canon) Takahashi actually stated FAR before that that jonoichi won that duel and got red eyes back
This scene must be awkward in the manga because there Pegasus was stabbed to death by Bakura at the end of Duelist Kingdom.
Its awesome that he acknowledges just how good Joey is
Joey being third is an example of why Red eyes represents potential. Joey is able to compete amongs god card holders without owning any himself. He is also able to unlock "heart of the cards" hack by sheer willpower alone where as yami yugi does use the millennium puzzle to do it even unknowingly. With the right hax cards he could easily beat kaiba and maybe even yugi, but he was never given the right cards. The entire series he used the most trash decks possible and still almost beat marik.
Im not a Joey fan or anything, but its still impressive. He is just held back by plot armor.
Considering Yugi is essentially two duelists in one and Kaiba has the backing of a multi million dollar corporation backing his skills, the fact Joey takes the bronze medal when he has nothing but his own gumption and luck is extremely impressive.
Kaiba is a billionaire.
@@jonahv5149 billions of yen, maybe
@@randomfox12245 But his step father used to sell weapons to other countries,
Hey, at least Joey is put in the top 5 best duelist alive. And at least he was at the bottom of the list.
Jaden: " I'm a joke to you ? "
Joey looks like he's about to rob someone walking by.
Glad Joey got a spot on the Top 5. At least his duels were fun and exciting, despite the risky gambles.
Why are ppl surprised Joey is 3rd best. Yell underestimated him.joey learned because he has been through war by yugis side.
This really goes a long way to explain why all the duelists in Yugioh GX seamed to be such huge disappointment. Because after all. When your talking about the Top 5 Best Duelists in the World, The 5 Highest Mountains in the World of Dueling. When one of those 5 peaks is Joey Wheeler, everybody else in the world goes down hill fast.
Always happy to see my boi Kaiba is high up. Joey deserves to be high up too
Love the fact they showing my boy Joey some love he came a long way to get where he is 🔥🔥🔥
I like how Joey looks different here
I see we’re all here for Joey
Yeah
@@devineggins4 Serenity is so proud
I want you all to realize how much plot armor Aster has to have to be the #4 Duelist in the World with just Destiny Heroes.
😂
Have you seen Joeys deck tho lmao
That's why he's 4th 😂😂 destiny garbodeck paired with insane skills
@@RsChrisGoh you mean Luck plot armor lol
The shots of yugi and kaiba are taken from the Japanese intro of season 4 of duel monsters. The shot of Joey is taken from the Japanese outro of season 4. This intro and outro was used for the later episodes of season 3 and early episodes of season 5, but was most prominent in season 4.
The cutting of this vid after Aster asks who Jesse is with the fade to white makes it look like Pegasus set Aster up for a deez nuts joke
I mean assuming Joey got the Red Eyes upgrade like in Duel Links I think that makes him viable for Top 3. Cause after all GX does take place some time after Duel Monsters.
What episode is this?
@@sasharyugazaki4400 Check out season 3, in the beginning
@@sasharyugazaki4400It's not an episode, he is talking about Duel Links (video game), in which they continue a lot of stuff from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime series. In duel links, Joey has voice lines with a lot of new support for the Red-Eyes archetype, so technically, his deck must have been upgraded just as Yugi's and Kaiba's were during the Dark side of Dimensions movie (even though Joey did not duel in that movie)
Sadly we didn't saw most of Joey in the timeline of GX
Top 5 duelist who use or used millennium items or other artifacts
1) Yami Yugi
2) Dartz
3) Yami Marik
4) Yami Bakura
5) Maximillion Pegasus
---
Top 5 duelist who play relatively fair-play
1) Seto Kaiba
2) Ziegfried
3) Rafael
4) Joey Wheeler
5) Mai Valentine
Not true about Yugi. Probability luck is NOT considered cheating.
Marik is fucking week
Yami Bakura is terrible
@@medddy7Yami Bakura was like one of the only duelists in the original series with a real strategy.
Ishizu could probably beat Yami Marik, Yami Bakura, and she'd beat Pegasus for sure. I'd say for the duelists that don't use Millennium Items the best order would be 1. Kaiba, 2. Ziegfried, 3. Gozoboro, 4. Rafael, 5. Odion.
Kinda funny how Pegasus never aged but yugi is actually older
People Forget Joey Wheeler is the only guy on that list who made it too the top with pure dueling skills and with normal cards , In change from Yugi and Kaiba
Absolutely agree no Egyptian cards and technically beated raa
Pegasus would say joey. Joey saved the world and Pegasus from Dartz and wielded Hermos.
@@Djayscratcher98 And merged himself with Red Eyes Black Dragon
Mai not being mentioned was really a let down, i think Pegasus still resents the fact that she beated him 😂
I mean mai is good. But its proven time after time that if she really mettles with jugi, joey and kaiba she is out off her leaque.
She is probably like top 10 but definitly not top 3-5
mai never shows up again in canon arcs after battle city. she was gone for the rest of series. the dragon stuff was filler
Kinda funny how Aster is 4th when there's plenty of other duelists stronger than him in GX 😂
Pegasus dropping a top 5 list like he talking about the Goat Rappers or Goat NBA Players lmao.
Probable Top 5 after the end of GX.
1. Yugi (Obviously)
2. Jaden (I know this one's gonna be controversial but I DO think end of GX Jaden IS better than Kaiba. He goes through a lot of growth and he's basically propped up as the next king of games. I know fans of the OG wouldn't like it though.)
3. Kaiba
4. Joey
5. Aster (It's either him or Zane but I do think Aster has a more consistent track record)
What is with Joey's picture there? Is he an underground duelist?
Lol he may have became... it's from one of the Japanese openings actually
Y'all sleeping on Joey for real.... he is the one who invented the Premature Burial, Giant Trunade combo to summon 2 monsters.
JOEY IS A GOAT
Yugi sort of quit duel monsters when Atem left, and he designed his own game (it's similar to Capsule Monsters).
Seto Kaiba also sort of retired, focusing on his company and building Duel Academy.
Joey, I have no idea what he could be doing. As someone who wanted to become a Pro, he never has to face people like Zane or Aster.
I think he speaks about Atem because the photo yes yugi is better than Atem but i think He mean Him or He thinks when me say that the one is are 3000 years Old Pharao and the Other one are child that Getting possesed by the Pharao
Kaiba don't have any interest because no Pharao so yea
Maybe He just dueling Good duelist or to op for gx i mean would you like See asta destory joey on are duel
The point is no one can beat one of them so its would be are bad choice to make are Duell their can't win me mean would you belive that (no season 5 or 4 jaden ) can defeat seto or joey
Dark Side of Dimensions is an alternate timeline to GX/5DS/Zexal/Arc V
@@skybattler2624 oh really that would make much more sense
@@MorebluethanblueeverycouldbeFrom what i heard, Dark side of dimensions is a sequel to the manga, being in a different continuity from the anime.
Which makes sense, in the anime Kaiba aceptes Yugi as the best duelist after watching his duel with Atem. In the manga Kaiba was not there to watch the duel, which is why he was still obssessed with the Pharoh in the movie
Just a reminder that in the manga, Maximilian Pegasus dies after Deulist Kingdom
So glad that Pegasus has such a high opinion of Jesse Wheeler.
