    Takahashi didn't cut World of Memories short due to waning popularity, he was hospitalised while writing it and a bag that contained story notes was stolen from him by a mugger. He regretted not getting to flesh it out more, particularly concerning Seto's connection to Blue-Eyes. He just had to make due to meet his deadline. Also the anime cuts out a lot of important context.

      It's some of the most childishly written characters I have ever seen, where you can predict what is going to happen and what they are going to say from a mile away and that doesn't mention how derivative it is of previous yugioh anime before it. It was eye-rolling cringe in so many parts. The only reason why I am even saying anything is the supposition that people only don't like it because they haven't seen it. I have from start to finish, and while there were characters I liked, it was not nearly as good as this guy made it out to be. It was like DM specifically remade but worse.

      @fxzzy__ 5Ds is my favorite series, and GX and Vrains have a special place in my heart
      But mannnnnn, Zexal II was so good, peak of the Yugioh anime in my opinion
      I feel like him having such a different view of Vrains and 5Ds compared to the fanbase comes from his taste in pacing. Most of us have no problems with the tournament arcs and think Vrains was super rushed. Meanwhile, he's tired of the tournament arcs and thinks Vrains was paced super well. To each their own!

  • @ajdinimsirovic2757
    @ajdinimsirovic2757 3 дні тому +16

    What i like from Zexal to Vrains is that the plot is set up from the start to end.
    In the previous series it always felt more like something out of nowhere happens (DM suffers the least from it but GX and 5DS very much do.).
    In Zexal the conflicts are established early Barians don't come out of nowhere, but the existence of the Astral and Barian Worlds is set up from the start.
    Arc V has all the dimensions and the whole mystery of the Yu-boys set up well, the payoff was the problem.
    In Vrains The Lost Incident is the reason everything in the series happens, season one is Yusaku trying to gain closure from it, season 2 is the Ignis taking the spotlight, and in season 3 is Ai's last stand.
    The biggest problem the latter 3 Yu-Gi-Oh series have is the lack of time, all of them suffer from being to short, Vrains especially.
    Zexal could have gone deeper into the Astral World and ther Chaos power equivalent, Cosmic, Chaos is, while having many definitions, is highly tied to the individual and emotions, Cosmic while we know that it exists and that it is the opposite of Chaos doesn't say much.
    Arc V has been talked to death but they wanted far to much with little to no time, the whole final battle with Zarc is the best case for it, the only one they care about getting back is Yuya and a little Yuto the other two aren't even mentioned.
    As for Vrains I don't need to say anything the, had only 120 episodes while it's predecessors had around 150 as a minimum.

  • @csween5793

    Putting WRGP in F is DIABOLICAL. Team Ragnarok vs Team 5D’s was literal PEAK yugioh.
    The nordic gods, the restoring of honor for Jack, the vengeance of Dragan, Crow and Brave realizing they are more similar than different, Yusei and Harald having the most twists and turns in a duel ever, not to mention Yusei dodging 10,800 DMG at the last second and using Harald’s card as HIS win con, I mean, come on.
    The beginning of season 2 (after Dark Signers) is majority filler trash I won’t lie. However this lasts only about 20ish episodes and then the ACTUAL wrgp arc begins. I know you don’t wish to spoil too much but the difference between pre-WRGP and once the tourney starts is night and day. Not to mention the tourney lasted much longer than the filler before it. Yusei’s evolution vs Placido is an iconic part of the series most look back on as one of the best parts of the series.
    This response is laughably long considering this show was made over a decade ago but I felt obliged to come here and defend what many feel is the peak of yugioh, clear mind. Good video overall, cheers.

    1. VRAINS is definitely the best as the card game complimenting the story instead of the other way around. Its detracting factors are some core cast not getting as much shine and being unfairly undercut in episodes as just where the Ignis War arc ended, you could tell they originally had greater plans for the 3rd arc that were forced to be scrapped. Though the skill level of the VRAINS main cast is the best Yugioh has ever been, they're like at the endgame level skill of the other series from the beginning.
    2. GX because it's one of the only Yugioh series to actually show growth and consequences of characters PLUS what happens after those things transpire. It's a full journey as opposed to just part of one. I think Season 3 or the dimensions arc is so good that it sets up the final arc and contrasts the beginning so well that it makes GX so unique and Jaden/Judai one of the more dynamic characters (he literally is counted as 2 characters in Duel Links due to how different he became). While most of the early seasons have that fun slice of life vibe to it, there are some complete nonsense moments (especially in the Society of Light arc). While the rest of the cast doesn't get too much spotlight in major duels, we do get a sense of growth with some of them (Syrus/Sho and Chazz/Manjoume in particular) by the time we reach the end. I also think Yubel is the best written villain in the franchise and the only one who essentially got what they wanted in the end and never having lost more than once (even then it was due to a kamikaze attack from Jesse/Johan where Jaden won by default not skill)
    [3 & 4 swap depending on my mood and opinions that day honestly because they're very close.]
    3. Zexal, but I don't agree with the breakdown of arcs as Number Hunting shouldn't be combined with the tournament because the pre-tournament stuff does not relate to the overall story within the tournament plus those duels aren't tournament duels with the same stakes; and the search for the Mythian Numbers should not be counted with the Barian Onslaught as the goals, motivations, and players involved change drastically between them. I think Yuma, Shark, and Kite/Kaito are great characters with very compelling arcs (and kinda Astral the times they let him be his own character, which they got better at as the story went on). However, the rest of the cast is just set dressing with very little follow-through or just cast aside once they've served their use with a good number of them not being very entertaining. There also didn't feel like there was much consistency with the Barians after they got introduced, and maybe there were plans that got changed part of the way through. Vector and Mizael are the only 2 that felt locked in, the others kinda changed with whatever was convenient for plot, and the reveal of that last 2 felt like it retconned a bit of what we learned about them already from season 1 and even the arc before it (seriously, the leader of the 7 has some wonky hostory and what we learned about Barians would contradict what we saw in Season 1, or bare minimum it should've happened differently or been foreshadowed for that Barian reveal). Also, those 1st few episodes are kinda trying your best to get through it to get to the good part, which does repeat in season 2.
    4. 5Ds is a good show, but mostly for the first half with only highlights in the second half of the show. I'm also biased against Yusei a little because he's so many of the fandom's "perfect child" and that they couldn't just let him have that legitimate loss against Kalin/Kiryu. I also feel like the elitist and classicism themes disappeared very quickly, which kinda makes those episodes stuck in the detention center feel like a waste. Dark Signers are fine, but it is pretty clear that Crow's involvement changed mid writing. It also doesn't make sense that the original owner of the Dragon Head Signer Mark didn't have a Signer Dragon at all. The WRGP wouldn't be so bad if it actually played like a team competition where Yusei wasn't responsible for 4 of the 5 wins Team 5D's got in the whole over 30 episode tournament. The other signers outside Yusei, Jack, and Crow (so the child twins and the girl) barely got anything in the second half. Again, timeline story, but the bad guys are using the ones that attacked them in the future too, just to add that in. I really think people put this show so highly because they think Yusei is best boy or they only watched through Dark Signers. The show isn't bad, and it does have some really good parts in the second half, it just isn't the best or "the last time Yugioh was good"
    4. DM, I know it's what started everything, but it did its job at laying the foundation for the future shows to succeed. It was the first shot and did well, but it walked and crawled, so the other shows could run. Battle City is still the best tournament arc in the franchise after watching everything. Pegasus, Marik, Joey, and Kaiba are always a delight to see on screen with the story of Yugi and the Pharoah being a fun one to follow. It's just the character out shine the story so much that you look past the mess that some of it is. It also doesn't help that Tristan and Tea don't contribute too much despite always being there, Kaiba and Joey aren't really allowed to get big wins off major imposing characters until Orichalcos, and Yugi (not the Pharoah) doesn't get to have that same level of development or even sense of agency shown that our other MCs do until the very end. He went through many trials, but it was with the Pharoah in the driver's seat and we don't always have a clear distinction of who's internal monologue we're hearing. Though nostalgia has me love it, objectively, it is one of the weaker shows from a writing standpoint. Also, the jump to the final arc was very jarring and I don't think it managed to recover the momentum until we're wrapping up against Bakura. I will also point out that I don't like how it ended Mai's arc as the only other character to be in most of the arcs, I really wanted her to be relevant to plot (like a descendant of Atlantis) or have that moment of being brought back in the friend group.
    5. Arc-V is not bad, in my opinion, but it is so much wasted potential and wracked with problems. On paper, the premise is interesting and the very beginning of it jas you curious where it'll go, especially with the unexpected turn that first tournament takes. But then you get to the Synchro Dimension and the cracks start to show with the pacing and the way this show uses it characters, realizing that the actual first red flag is what they did with Yuto. Characters have so much potential, but many don't achieve it and worse, it impacts your main cast because this show suffers from a bloated character roster. You have your new characters, you have characters from other dimensions, your 2 main protagonists have dimensional counterparts, and then you have legacy characters from past shows you have to give time to because they're fan favorites. It really shows when that final boss battle hits and you see how many people are involved and that's already subtracting 8 from that number. Going back to pacing, we spend so much time in Synchro Dimension that at first you just get a little bored with it, but then you see how little XYZ gets and you're a little annoyed, but then you get to Fusion and it's so much nothing burger/who cares that you get upset Synchro is the only one that any form of world building and special treatment (even more than Standard where you started). There are so many moving parts by the end, very little resolution is given, and then the final few episodes is extended epilogue that doesn't end in a completely satisfying resolution. It tries to take the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City parts of DM, the Dimension hopping and depression bit of GX, legitmately just reskins Fortune Cup of 5Ds, and the Barian Invasion of Zexal to mix them all into this 1 story that kinda forgets the overall picture at times. This is also the first Yugioh with so many named and important girl duelists and it really sabotages all of them by the end, even the boys aren't saved from this fate. The Rival of Arc-V, Declan/Reiji, only has 8 duels in the show, which sounds okay at first until you realize that Arc-V has 148 episodes and his duels count for only 14 of them (they're not even the sole focus sometimes of that episode). Arc-V is best explained as someone tried to do Avatar the Last Airbender but with Yugioh and Sci-fi, keyword being tried. It does have some really cool duels, legacy characters appearing with updated decks is awesome, and it has the best parent/family character in any of the Yugioh shows. Arc-V makes you want to know how they'll reach the end, but makes you doubt the choices taken to get their. (I would say the Action Duels were really a plus, but sadly, they don't stick through the whole season like riding and speed duels do in 5Ds and VRAINS respectively)

    I adore Arc-V but the Synchro Dimension arc is so long for no reason at all, and we have so many mistakes on that arc, which is such a shame at the end. I don't think Arc-V is bad (it's just too rushed at the final arc), however, I agree that it could be more consistent and it should had given more fanservice (in the other hand, I dispite the "legacy characters"; they were a mistake too, since the production didn't had plans to do it; Ren from the Arc-V manga should be Jack Atlas, for instance). Also, ZeXal has at least 4 arcs, bro: hunting numbers arc, Duel Carnival arc, Barians first arc and Nash & Barians arc. For last: the DM final arc should be a tier higher; it's not the greatest arc of DM, but it is not that bad either

      Regarding your point about Vrains, I don't undertstand the criticism. You can apply that logic to any of the series. Obviously the main characters and antagonists are much more impactful to the overall story than the side characters. I agree that Vrains handled the side characters poorly, but so does every yugioh series tbh.

      @luminessupremacy 2 дні тому +1

      ​@@fxzzy__ Vrains duels are the most boring by far. Every card has like a different effect for any place it finds itself in (they do something in the hand, then in the field, then in the graveyard, then when the are vanished...), so there's never any tension, you know any time someone is about to lose that they can invent an effect for whatever card they have in whatever place that prevents them fron losing.
      Also, the results are too predictable and the main cast is too pasive. Every season is: The main characters get locked in separate rooms (or the villains find another way to fight them 1 on 1 in their preferred order), then they duel them following the formula: Is the villain a sidekick? Then they lose when they fight literally anyone. Is the villain the main villain? Then they win unless they are fighting Playmaker. Yeah, there are some exceptions, but they are all also predictable. Its literally the only show when I could guess 100% (no exaggeretion) of the results. I don't think I need to explain how little tension is there.
      So, you can't enjoy the duels for the plays nor for seeing who wins and who loses. What's the point then? It is literally the only show where I considered skipping duels (I didn't, but I fell asleep many times). You can't even enjoy the story because the main cast is too pasive (with only few, very boring, exceptions) and because they fail to do anything interesting with all the interesting ideas they had. Like, who even wrote that?

Case in point: everyone is always exited to see a new Arc-V character getting added to Duel Links and see how the narrative progresses (since Duel Links' Arc-V world is an "epiloge" of the series). Ruri and Rin received so much justice by making them actual characters with personalities and Yuri was a delight seeing him still being a complete asshole and having no regrets of his actions.

      Season 1 is some of the best writing I've seen in YGO and it stories in general. Now no lectures about that but motivation rivalry was set up since episode 1 that Yusei needed to leave satellite to face Jack his old friend, Motivation, plot get ready to face off against a pro duelist ex friend who betrayed me, now characters we can see Jack is bored from dueling scrubs and needs excitement and everyone knows there's only one person whoever matched him in a duel it was Yusei now we spent sometime with Yusei before this knowing he cares about his friend's and what's better for them.
      It all culminates at episode 4/5 Yusei faces Jack after a couple of years ready for what's to come, then bang Crimson Dragon get introduced now pacing wise story goes hard we get intro after intro keeping you guessing whose going to he the side characters or part of the YGO crew now we get my favorite part the main signers we learn a little bit about them all as Yusei becomes attached to them from his chance encounters Akiza, Luna, Crow (much later) but still that Yusei grew up with Crow and then we find all their motivations then the character development Jesus this development is great Jack feels like a failure he seeks refuge with Carly and it hurts more when she becomes a dark signer, then they have their duel.

    >GX: A good variety of characters and arcs. It gets better later on but there are alot of individual filler duels. I enjoy fusion but I do think it wasn't best used in series, as several characters don't even use it.
    >5Ds: A very consistent first season where everything is topnotch but it stumbles, coasts and falls off a tad in the second season. It does have the best decks used by characters. DM & GX were very unbalanced between caveman Yugioh and OP blowout/plot device cards.

I was on a roll with 5Ds this year, until I ran into a boredom speed bump shortly after Akiza was benched by Crow for the second time. Haven't picked up a new yugioh anime since, but I've been tempted by Zexal ever since I watch this guy's hour long video on it. However, most people say the sub is what makes it good whereas the dub is as bad as people say it is, and I'm strictly a dub watcher for yugioh.

    Having seen all the series, which one would you say has the best duels? Ideally, they should have great duel choreography (fun to watch even if you don't know who the characters are and why they're dueling) in addition to a compelling setup.
    For me, I often go back to GX for this. I agree that GX has high highs and low lows (and a lot of low lows), but the highs are often accompanied by incredible duel choreography. Every now and then I'll rewatch Zane vs Yubel and Jaden vs Yugi, which stand out as the best two, but there are others worth rewatching, like the season 1 graduation duel, Jaden vs Aster round 2, Jaden vs Crowler in season 4, Jaden vs Bastian, Jaden vs Alexis (season 2).
    I love the original Duel Monsters to death, but because the rules are still kinda wonky, rewatching them just for the sake of good duel monsters rather than the plot just doesn't do it for me. Which ones stand out as the best for you, among all series?

    No Sevens and Go Rush just shows how much people want it to fail. But its actually a hit in Japan and I have really enjoyed it. And from the recent Go Rush episode it is clear that Yugioh 9 will be a rush anime. So haters can cry, but Go Rush is my favourite series with Zexal at Second and Sevens at third. Dont get me wrong, I love EVERY Yugioh anime unlike people who hate for fun but this is my personal opinion. I grew up with GX so this isnt recency bias and my age does not only have 1 digit.

      Listen, if they dont want to watch it, fine. But if they start complaining about it with no evidence that is where it crosses the line.
      Honestly people need to drop the obvious Agenda against the Rush shows it is disgusting to see now. If there is a new anime that will be rush like @NoOne thinks there will be I think a lot of Yugioh fans will have to suck it up and give Rush a chance. If not and they want to be stubborn and then complain then they can do one.

    Putting Dimension World in B might be the most baffling take I've seen in my entire life. Arguably the best written arc in the entire franchise, especially the relationship between Jaden and Yubel. This would be fine if you at the same didn't put the first Zexal arc into S. The arc that single-handedly made me and many others consider just not watching Zexal. I feel some massive bias going on, really feels like you picked out every minute flaw you could find in GX and 5DS but kind of waved away everything in Zexal and Vrains and only focused on the positives.

      I stopped watching 5Ds after Akiza was officially benched for a second time for Crow. The first time was whatever, but then they had it set up for some amazing character growing opportunities when benching Crow for Akiza, allowing Akiza to fully get into the turbo dueling thing, completely getting over her fears and being able to ride alongside the boys as equals, while also giving Crow a significant personal obstacle when it comes to getting over how he has to miss out on the tournament due to his recklessness. Don't get me wrong, I didn't intentionally stop watching immediately after she got benched, I fully intended to watch the whole thing, but I just kinda got bored a few episodes after Crow came back and never felt like watching it since. Akiza makes things way more compelling, and all of Crow's moments (like becoming a signer and summoning the black wing dragon from his bike) always felt so forced and unearned.

  • @zkace

    Considering they were androids, it's _possible_ Z-One intentionally built Paradox and Aporia (and by extension his 3 sub-personalities) to be more 'evil' than they should be in an attempt to foster more growth from Yusei since Z-One's favored goal was to get Yusei to evolve further and save the future in a more peaceful way; he just ended up pushing through with the Ark Cradle plan was because he was running out of time. It _is_ still admittedly weird, though, that Aporia and his sub-personas had this whole superiority complex, looking down on Yusei and co. for being "humans", when it was explicitly shown they remember who they were and their specific 'despair'. Aporia might've just been so consumed by it that he views the humans of the present era even lower since they started the path to the ruined future, but that's kinda stretching it. Also don't forget Z-One programmed the 3 sub-Aporias to call him "God", so there must've been _some_ kind of ego tripping there.
    As for my take on the Ark Cradle arc, I won't deny it had great moments like Rua's awakening, Yusei vs Antinomy, and of course Yusei vs Z-One, but those are almost all near the end, and honestly, the build-up and overall execution really brings it down, especially since it kind of detracts from the setting the first two seasons established. We can always connect the dots and fill some plot holes in hindsight, like Iliaster went through the trouble of causing Zero Reverse instead of just killing Yusei's dad to shut the Moment project down because they wanted to cause a tragedy so horrifying no one would ever try replicating it, and they didn't just kill Yusei because deep down Z-One still wanted him to evolve, but it really feels like it takes away from the ancient civilization cult theme they had going even if you can stretch a possible explanation for their motives and actions to make it "make sense".
    I think C is a fair tier for it, even with my strong bias for 5D's. For the rest of the arcs, Fortune Cup and Dark Signers were peak, though I'd honestly put Fortune Cup in S tier as well since its world building and characterization were so engaging, and the duels always felt meaningful even within the tournament; biggest example would be Yusei vs Aki, with Yusei trying to get Aki to open up and realize for herself that she doesn't really enjoy all the destruction she causes, conveyed through Stardust stopping Black Rose's self-destructive nature. F tier for the WRGP arc is also fair, but I'd personally put it in D tier just for Shooting Star's intro having Clear Mind.

    Incredible video! I truly feel like you gave each of these series honest takes despite the short explanations required for this video length.
    Here's my own personal list after finally finishing Vrains:
    Zexal - Absolutely amazing series with such interesting characters and an INCREDIBLE protagonist duo whose combined character arc remains my favorite out of the whole series. It also feels like I learn more about the characters and series the more I watch it.
    Vrains - Honestly love this series for the same reasons you listed and I don't really agree with most people's opinions on the final arc since I thoroughly enjoyed it a ton.
    Arc V (Before Synchro Dimension) - THEY STARTED OUT SOOO GOOD! Extremely well written characters with the best supporting cast in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! They also had one of the most gripping story concepts for combining war with Yu-Gi-Oh! elements. I won't get too deep into it, but after the first dimension, Arc V seemed to have gone through developmental hell with a series of unfortunate events that sealed its downfall.
    5DS (Before second tournament) - Incredible characters with amazing dynamics between said characters all put into one seamless story. It kept me hooked the entire way through and I didn't feel exhausted ONCE on my binge watch.
    Duel Monsters + Toei Season 0 - Such an incredible classic anime series that still holds up today with its great character writing and plot progression. I also loved the final arc and how it was able to bring back its original TTRPG and ancient Egyptian inspiration. I just wish we got to learn more about Yugi's family and Bandit Bakura's past since they both felt underbaked.
    5DS (Second Tournament onwards) - It just felt like they backtracked way too much on the Illiaster conspiracy and previous character dynamics that it doesn't feel like the same series (in a very bad way).
    GX - A story with a lot of interesting characters that really only got used after the third arc started. The series started picking up pace later on, but then it immediately undid most of the important character deaths with a last minute rug pull that was never established previously unlike Zexal which actually had a way of reviving allies established WAY early on. I know my suspension of disbelief is strong with this series, but this was just too much for me that it REALLY soured the final arc for me. It would be my least favorite if it weren't for...
    Arc V (Synchro Dimension onwards) - THEY MESSED IT UP! ALL OF IT! DOWN THE TOILET! Everything they did well was either completely undone or was flanderized into oblivion. I consider Duel Links to be canon purely because they at least had the decency to undo one of the most blatant and biggest mistake of the anime's ending. I have seen SEVERAL AMATEUR FANFIC WRITERS come up with better endings for this series. I am NOT exaggerating. It is THIS bad.

    Definitely some strong disagreements with the overall series rankings but I still respect your giving waking the dragon and zexal arcs their credit. My rankings overall are
    Dm
    5ds
    Vrains
    Gx
    Zexal
    Arc V
    Sevens I started but couldnt finish for how bad it was imo, and I would put season zero at around GX level. I definitely think 5ds will grow on you with time like Zexal and vrains did for me. Vrains to me though was cut way to short of its potential though which was a shame and lowers its score. I also think The arc cradle arc of 5ds and the dimension arc and the arc v synchro arcs should definitely be flipped around with season 4 of gx, crash town or season 1 of 5ds, and the Xyz arc of arc v respectively.
