WELL Akiza was among the main trio BUT the cults thing happened so it was a "HOLY HOTCAKES WE HAVE TO ABORT THE STORY ARC WE HAD FOR HER AND REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING.....Hey Blackwings are popular, maybe they could fill the void.....". The rest is story
I can't believe no one mentioned Tea/Anzu's 100% win rate (only 3 duels, and 1 of them was off screen-Joey), same with Serenity, but that was her only duel
My top 10 Best Girls in Yu-Gi-Oh! 10. Sherry Leblanc - she was badass, i just wish she did alittle more. 9. Yuzu Hiragi - OH MY GOD.....What happened here.....? She was my #2 at one point....look at how far she's dropped.....she's gotten the worst treatment of ANY female in the series. 8. Luna - she got an interesting ability i thought was only given to protags, and she's cute, but she got treated alittle worse then Akiza honestly. 7. Emma (Ghost girl) - Didn't like her at first, but she's growing on me. 6. Rio Kastle - I wish she was our female lead, I REALLY do..... 5. Rebecca Hawkins - I like her, plus i ship her and Yugi, they look so cute together. 4. Ishizu Ishtar - I always loved her design, plus I think she's VERY underappreciated. She has the best design of any female character in my opinion. 3. Skye Zaizen - Best character in VRAINS (So far.) I hope I'm still saying this when VRAINS is over. 2. Alexis Rhodes - I always liked Alexis, especially in Season 1 but they kind of gave her the short end of the stick in season 2 onward. Honorable Mentions: Tea Gardner, Blair Flannigan, Carly Camine, Dextra, Mai Valentine 1. Akiza Izinski - This shouldn't be a surprise, but it can't be anyone else. She is our best female lead.
Rio is a villain and I like Tori since she’s one of the only females that is done well I’m pretty sure the only other one is Ishizu and I guess Rio though they weren’t top top tier Duelists Edit: they need to do another season of all the yugiohs but 5Ds especially with the epilogue
@@Deathmare235 People give 5Ds season 2 flak nowadays but I still really like that they showed both Yusei and Akiza moving on from dueling to do something more useful. For all the crazy world saving stuff they had to do it's nice to remember that there's more to life than just dueling.
@@Deathmare235 You mean foreshadowing. The idea of Akiza becoming a doctor seemed out of left field in execution but could've been used as the end of a "Do No Harm" character arc. And if Blood Rose Dragon was out back then, they could've used it as a sign that Akiza had grown past the grief and rage of her traumatic childhood.
@@Deathmare235 one of the few Yugioh characters that actually realized card games are dangerous. While her backstory was good, i still kinda laughed that out of Yugioh context they could have solved her problem by just simply not playing the game lol (since her physic power is tied to making card effect real), but oh well, everyone play card game in Yugioh world
Aki is the hottest and the best Yugioh girl, in terms of personality for me. I anticipate a lot of arguments in the comments with a box of popcorn in my hands XD Nice list Dylan!
Mai is hands down my favorite, mostly because of how they explain how she fell under Dartz's control during the waking the dragons arc and how much I related to how she felt. As someone who deals with depression I really related to how she lashed out at her friends and the world due to them (in her eyes) not recognizing how much pain she was in and just that overwhelming desire to feel nothing. My own personal experience looked a lot like hers, I always alone and felt like I had to hide how hurt I felt not over one single issue but just the totality of everything so it was really nice to see a character act out the way I would. While I was really disappointed with how she just suddenly "snapped out of it" and they just never gave her a real conclusion or showed her getting real help it was still one of the few times I could relate to a character in any show
@@hightidekraken You would've thought that either Emma or Aoi could've pulled thru, what with fewer characters to compete with, being well-liked in execution and in the competitiveness and aesthetics of their cards, and just coming off of a series _infamous_ for how much it wasted its characters...but no...as swept to the side as much as any other character that's female and/or not in a core three of protag/rival/best friend.
When you mentioned Carly I was like "OH MY GOD YES" because she was so good till the end of dark signers arc, and let's all be honest, 5ds was amazing till that too. I always will be left wondering what the show could have been like had the real life controversy not thrown everything out of whack.
I'd say read the manga for an example of that, but it only can go so far. It provides a better, actually fallible Yusei, a friend back in the Satellite that actually matters, the most epic of Riding Duels, and a far more complex take on Godwin. On the other points...it's about on the same level, tho I think that for what the women present were written for, it _is_ a little better. It at least doesn't lend hype to the likes of Aki and Ruca to similar levels as that of the protagonist, and then bottom it out for no good reason a short while into the overall series. Carly, I'm sorry to say, gets a one-panel cameo. We can't have everything, I guess.
I agree with Aki/Akiza. She mattered til the very end which is honestly very rare! Her character development is amazing! Intriguing background story, everything fits! It’s a shame that the Dub cut so much good content 😔
@@YugiohEverything Btw, why wasn't number 1 on this list? (S)he created duel monsters, the very game they play and helped saved their respective worlds :'(
I love the recap episode when she said that Yusaku generally struggled socializing with people and imagined a chibi Playmaker in a snow man. That was adorable.
Good list ! I'm glad to see Ishizu in it. Even if she's not my favourite, I always thought she was an interesting character. For Mai, it's true we never see her win but she wasn't a main character and DM only focused on Yuugi and Jonouchi so I think we should still consider that she was in the finals of both tournament (Duelist Kingdom and Battle City) and probably had a lot of unscreen wins. And of course, Aki is first. Her first three duels are just so cool!
The thing about Mai is that she's a genius (in my opinion, I am absolutely biased, I admire her since elementary school). Also, in between Battle City and the Dartz-season she won several tournaments as shown in flashbacks. Yes, I know that this techniqually does not count, but she is a better duelist than actually shown in the show and a better character than many people think (especially males in my experience).
Not to mention she basically almost won over Marik ... Not her fault that one can apparently summon Ra only if they're read Egyptian. If she knew how to read the card she would have literally ended that season in that duel lol
My top ten list: 10. Mai (in my opinion is she just fanserive) 9. Yuzu (as you said a damsell in distress) 8. Merag (is very strong and cool) 7. Anzu ( dueled like once(?) but is a very confidence woman and i liked her since the beginning) 6. Emma (i hope she doesn't end up like Mai and only be fanservice becausei like the vibes that she gives) 5. Yubel ( even though not much screentime i liked her duel with Judai and Amon at the end of season 3 and i think it evens her screentime out) 4. Aoi (Not much screentime but a very interesting character and her depression made her character reminds me of Aki and i loved that but currently we had 1 duel in this season that she lost i hope she gets better treatment in the next season) 3.Serena (I srsly never got bored of her i only wished she had much more screentime and they treated her like every other bracelet girl in the end. Her duel with Yuya and Yuto couldn't even it out but i still liked her) 2. Asuka (She had a great start and was strong but didn't get to duel as much as i hoped she would. I loved her and her character she is a great Female lead but they ruine her afterwards and her Tagduel with Judai was just awesome) 1. Aki (who else?) (i was stunned immediately as i saw her powers amd personality i fell sad for her because of her backstory (i stilll hate her parents) i fell in love with her personality and she's in my opinion the strongest female character in every spin-off and even the original female characters didn't stand a chance)
10: Luna got the shorter end of the stick than Akiza 9: Blame Quattro for Rio's pre-show injuries 8: Yuzu, the Rae Akaba variant from the Pendulum Dimension 7: Mai and her Harpies don't fare that well against stronger monsters, though Mai's purple high heel boots not being usable doesn't help 6: The Mai/Akiza hybrid from the sixth main series 5: Ishizu has only one Duel total, and Kaiba pulls a Future Trunks stunt to defeat her 4: Skye at 4? Bound to change later on 3: More Rae Akaba shenanigans, but now to Fusion 2: Lexi and her Cyber Angels managed to get quite a score, especially as she's statistically the best lead female (just missing perfection by win ratio to Anzu Mazaki) 1: And it's the Black Rose who comes out on top
10) Luna 9) Tori 8) Rio 7) Rin 6) Yuzu 5) Masumi 4) Ray 3) Akiza 2) Serena 1) Emma (I just love her so much) Some honarable mentions H1) Carly H2) Ruri H3) Teà (I don't care what everyone says. I still love her) H4) Mai H5) Alexis (Arc V)
I'm a girl so I don't really pay attention to ygo girls lol😂😂 but my fav is DM : Mai, GX : None, 5ds : Aki, Zexal : Merag, Arc-V : Serena, Vrains : Emma
I want the girl with the tokens deck to be important. ALSO what about Yubel? or tht would be getting into a trap because Yubel is either shown as a boy, a girl, or as as both or none?
Izayoi Aki is untouchable. Her character during the first two seasons of 5D's was insanely good; and it is very tragic how her character went to mediocrity after the dark signers arc. but such a moving story she comes with
Yugioh Everything the girl legitimately got abused by her parents, and it was shown in flashbacks. if you didn't feel for her after seeing that, you were deemed heartless. she's not only one of the most bad-ass protagonists, but antagonists too. an entire stadium full of people were terrified, on more than one occasion, from her dueling alone. *Q U E E N*
NOOOOOOO!!!! Putting Yuzu before Rio?!! I loved Rio!!! I think No.9 might be a little bit too low! Love your No.5!! Ishizu was very underrated!! I thought she was so cool and I was so sad that she lost to Kaiba when she couldn't predict the future anymore and I was so sure that she was going to win! Yeah! Go Serena!!! Loved Serena! Way better than Yuzu! If we're talking about the Bracelet Girls; I was a huge fan of Rin and Ruri, but Serena was really a highlight of Arc-V. Oh god, I loved Tea (Anzu) and loved Serenity too! Both were strong and brave girls!! Yeah man, Akiza!!! I loved Akiza and her Black Rose Dragon! Black Rose Dragon was amazing and I thought was one of the best monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! And yes, Akiza was very beautifully designed!
Akiza should have gotten Majestic Rose Dragon & done a lot more. Yuzu really should have been the lead protagonist instead of Yuya, just think how awesome it would have been if she absorbed Serena, Rin, & Ruri to take down Zarc. I loved Tea (Anzu) as well & Ishizu really was awesome. I loved Aoi too, although Yugioh has a serious problem of screwing over the female duelists as the series progress. How long is it going to take to get a girl that's waifu tier the lead protagonist role? We came so close to getting that with Arc V, maybe series 8 will give us what we want if we're lucky?
I know this might be veery unpopular but my fav girl from Arc V was Ruri. I loved her empatethic and soft-spoken personality and how she always knows how to get through to Yuto. Besides, she isn't that much of a damsel in distress to me.
I have to say Asuka, Aoi, and Aki are my favorite female characters. Asuka is what got me intp the TCG. Now I’m trying to find a way to combine her Cyber Angels with Aoi’s Trickstars to make a hybrid deck for my top two favs.
A very reasonable and good list Dylan. Here is mine 1. Akiza 2. Aoi (Skye) 3. Serena 4. Ema ( I love her and all, but I would be way too biased if I put her at 1) 5. Ishizu 6. Rio 7. Alexis 8. Tea 9. Yuzu 10. Luna
This is such a well done list. Loved Ancient Fairy. Super sad the treatment her master got. Alexis. So mad Kite dueled Dennis on that stupid boat episode. And GX really let her down.That was supposed to be for her 100% Number 5 got me but you’re hella right. Mai too tho, they only ever paired her to duel against people that she had no chance to win against. Like seriously... 1st duel is against the main Antagonist... sure... we all were surprised with that result 🌚 Aki.... yeah her liking Yusei was the downfall... in general everyone got fucked with the turbo duel since really only 2/5 of the beginning mains could duel on them. They should have switched it. Instead of Land Duels in the 1st half. That should have been the 2nd half rather than the heavy turbo duel on the 2nd because that immediately shut out the girls and Leo too 😪 Yuzu..... dear god... that’s still a Stake to the heart to think about. Like opening the door to a kid on Halloween with FULL SIZE CANDY BARS.... Smiling @ them... then FIRMLY SLAMMING THE DOOR IN THEIR FACE.
I mean she did get off to an amazing start, one of the best starts any Yugioh Girl has gotten off too, I just feel she crashed and burned very hard towards the end
Yugioh Everything Like you mentioned in this video, Arc-V had a crowded cast of characters and I feel that they simply couldn't get proper development in course of 148 episodes.
Really interesting video, Dylan! And this is even better since it includes girls that were important, but not the main female. Ruka was one of my favorite characters in 5Ds, and she was said to be a dueling genius at three years old. It’s just a shame that she was kinda put to the side in favor of her attention grabbing brother. Emma is a really interesting character to watch, and has a different spin on that character trope than Mai did. Emma taking losses to Revolver and Playmaker is not anything to be upset about either. I really hope that Aoi is handed well for the rest of VRAINS! She really is an interesting character, she is deep, and duels well. I really enjoy Asukas character as well, but I found it a bit odd that she was put so high after not living up the dueling level we thought she could be, like Mai (no disrespect intended , but it was just something I didn’t understand, lol). But then again, she did live up to it more than Mai did, so. I think it would be really difficult to argue Aki out of the top spot on this list. She was just a strong character, and was able to get relevancy again toward the end of the series with using her psychic power to heal (accepting the power that caused her pain) and becoming a doctor!
I actually liked Rua not being a signer dragon. It just really felt like the twins were sharing the mark and just how inseparable they were. Also for me who was born into a family of academics and my autism making a high education impossible his struggle to prove that he belongs in the group really resonated with me.
Bruh, Ishizu definitely earned her spot by being a cool character and actually important to the plot, don't apologize for your preference. Plus, and this might sound odd, but I love seeing a dark skinned girl on the list, feels good.
Just some quick thoughts on this list #10 Luka " Ok Understandable" #9 Rio "Noice" #8 Yuzu "What a shame, So much potential" #7 Mai "Having Mixed Feelings" #6 Ema "YES! But why? lol" #5 Ishizu "Best Girl!? I can rock with that." #4 Aoi "Meh. Not to good, but not to bad either" #3 Serena "Again Best Girl!? Not bad, not bad at all." #2 Asuka "Of course! lol" *Honorable Mentions* "I can see where you were going with this" #1 Aki "Mhm, Why am I not surprised? lmao" Minus the lack of Dark Magican Girl/Mana, I still enjoyed this video overall. AS FOR MY LIST THOUGH? 10. Tea (dsod) 9. Carly (without glasses) 8.Aoi 7.Blair 6.Kiku 5.Rio 4.Ruri 3.Gagaga Girl 2.Serena 1. Dark Magician Girl and Ema Beshou (Couldn't chose between the two)
I loved the play by play Crimson! xD DMG/Mana was someone who didn't really cross my mind while making this list, so I'll take the L on that. She was a good character, probably could have made honorable mentions at least!
Not gonna lie I was expecting her to be an honorable mention, because she's more than just a good lookin female monster. She's helped Atem/Yugi out of tight spots in certain duels and she's played major roles in Waking The Dragons and in Dawn Of The Duel as her past life Mana.
1Akiza/Aki (5ds) The Black Rose Queen /Witch changed the way people viewed female in yugioh smart and fierce personality and a excellent back story 2.Emma [Vrains) Ghost Girl steals 2nd place due to she skills as hacker and personality 3Masumi/ Julia Crystal takes 3rd spot for her mastery of fusion summoning and even tho she wasn't featured heavy in the show she still dominated 4.Rio ( zexal) the barin empress freezes the competition when she shines she doesn't disappoint 5. Sherry (5ds ) the French beauty rides in to fifth position due to her skills in synchro . / Selena ( Arc V) the lancers fusion duelist dances to a tie the main reason she's on here is for my love of LunaLights 6.Aoi ( Vrains) Links VrainsBlue Angel is charisma duelist who inspires hope and leaves us love struck 7. MaiValentine who doesn't love harpies 8.. Asuka the Queen of duel acdemey sides down to 8th place due to her lack luster performance in both gx and arc v While she is a formidable duelist she didn't do that much 9. Isuzu slides in to 9th place she had one of my favorite duels which was against kabia
Serenity will always be my #1, and honestly she's probably atleast 95% of the reason I even liked Joey at all, other than his comedic moments in the dub and some other things. I just love her sweet personality and courage. At one time, Alexis was my favorite, and still remains one of my favorites. truth be told, Akiza has never even scratched my top 10. I also hope, one day, that the anime can get a leading female hero.
Her saving Joey was one of the most iconic moments for me. Once a blind girl. First thing she sees is her big bro saving his best friend. Then saves him. Did not expect that.
I thought Yuzu had good synchro dimension moments. When she attacks Roget while he has her captured, as well as her duel with Sergey and getting flung through a building. I also really liked how she tried to cheer Yuya up by imitating his catchphrase and when Yuya and Yuzu embrace at the end of the Synchro dimension. I'd say after that, she went downhill. For me its a 3 way tie between Yuzu, Alexis, Carly and Emma (depending on how Vrains treats her the rest of the way). Blue Angel, Rio and Akiza would be second. And honestly, Tea would be third. For me, Emma is a very smart and witty girl, very independent and strong willed. Also when you talked about Ishizu getting screwed by Kaiba via the millennium rod, all I could picture is "screw the rules, I have a rod" xD I will also say Alexis is the only female to actually beat the rival. She duels and defeats Chazz in that love duel.
Other reasons why Aki is the best: first girl to actually rescue the main character, which was a nice change of pace, the Summoning of both Black Rose and Stardust against Team Unicorn and the first girl to beat the main character at something (in the manga; though it wasn't a duel in the usual sense, she at least beat Yusei at something).
Even though she was still downgraded in the second half of 5DS, she's still better than most of the girls on this list...... #AKIISFOREVERBABE #AKIISLIFE
Good list. I only would've placed Mai somewhere in the top 5, as she represents one of the stronger female duelists with some solid character development. I like that Ishizu got some recognition. I do love both Aki and Asuka but they have cut their characters short where they are both reduced to damsel in distressed and cheerleaders.
Good thing in Duel Links, She is gonna be in there soon! Since I used Black Rose Dragon like she did, I’m gonna unlock her and use Her Ace monster once again. Oh Dylan, if you play Duel links, 5Ds world is coming next week Tuesday for the world wide release.
18:37 Of Course. The pretty much everyone's favorite Aki Izayoi/Akiza Ishiki. It helps she is pretty much an X-Men character in the YuGiOh Franchise. I wonder how the series would have been had the writers had been left free to tell whatever story they had planned for Akiza (sadly due to that controversy of the cults, that never happened. And Blackwings popularity was the final nail in the coffin, like a "remate" or finsihing blow)
10. Rebecca Hawkins 9.Anzu 8. Alexis 7. Rin 6. Cathy 5. Tori 4. Aki 3. Blair 2. Yuzu 1. Rio Honorable Mention: Yubel Now where’s the top 10 husbandos In Yugioh?
A personal favorite is Anna from Zexal due her tomboyish and reckless personality, which immediately got my attention as well as infested to what her deal was than most of the girl that were either boring or did not show much at that point. But my favorite part about her, is her Deck which not only captured her personality perfectly but is vastly different than any other female used deck from before and even after. Rather than use a deck that are....typical for a girl to use (flowers, pixies, fairy tale based decks), Anna uses a Rank 10 train Deck, or Runaway Train if we want to go by the anime. Don’t know look it up and you will be amazed. Sadly, even though she is my favorite girl in Zexal, even more than Rio, I honestly make her an Honorable mention due to her impossibly short screen time and wasted potential. Seriously, could you imagine if Anna was the main female lead instead of Kotori, these two reckless and adventure filled character that would push each other to greater height, not just as duelist but as adventurers would have made a far more compelling dynamic between Yuma and the female lead. But nevertheless, Anna with her flaring personality and awesome design is a personal favorite. Here’s to hoping we get another (and actually relevant) female character like her.
Yess 100% this. Aside from her weird love towards Yuma, which I personally thought was unnecessary, she was such a fun character to watch. I do think the reason she didn't get enough screentime mainly because Konami had no interest in expanding her deck, At least now Konami is finally giving more love to train, I'm still surprised Konami created two number cards for her.
Matt Shen Oh man I wish that she at least used the Rank 10 number in the manga. That would have been awesome. Better yet, she made an appearance in manga and become a relevant character. Kinda like how Bastion from GX maintain importance in the manga.
I'm glad you gave Yuzu most of the credit she deserves. But I swear me and you remember the Yuri duel differently so one of us needs to rewatch that part. I think peaked later than you do. Her duel against Enjoy Tokumatsu could have just been filler but was actually a great duel. Her duel against Sergey ended poorly but parts of it developed her character more. Even when she was captured by Jean she shoved him against his table which was badass! But I understand most people ranking Serena higher than Yuzu, I am in the minority there. Ishizu is underrated. People often act like Anzu and Mai are the DM girls. I like her a lot too! You give Asuka so much credit. I just never cared for her. She just felt so bland and boring. Everything else I mostly agree with. Besides Rio being popular but a bit meh for me.
The girl who gets the same level of status as Yugi, Jaden Yuki, Yusei, etc? Yuzu could have been that although got royally screwed as the series progressed past Season 1. Yuzu would have been perfect for the lead protagonist role although instead of absorbing the other bracelet girls the way Yuya absorbed his counterparts to become the hero who would defeat Zarc, she ended up getting kidnapped. Maybe Series 8 we'll finally get the female lead we've waited so long for?
Aki also lost Andre (I think that’s his name) from Team Unicorn in the WRGP. Still, Aki rocks at the number one spot! I’d love to see an arc about her taking down the Arcadian Movement almost all by herself (Yusei could have helped her a little)
EXACTLY. Konami has 2 perfectly good characters with prominent META decks (Trickstars and Altergeist, both TCG and OCG), SO treat them the same way as you treated Crow due to his Blackwings, an we promise you this time, everyone would actually like the idea. ALSO please stop pushing us with Soulburner. It didn't work out with Johan/Jesse way back in GX, in won't work now. I don't know about Tindangles. In 68 episodes and counting, they have appeared in just 3 episodes. I like them, but i dont see them being shown again.
Weaklings altogether, and no actual relationsships ever. There's a serious sexism problem with the writers. Girls get even hypend and then they are incredible weak or annoying. It's incredible how the 4 Girls in Arc V got treated, just incredible.
Even in Naruto the female characters don't get mistreated this badly. Yuzu should have been the lead protagonist the entire time & absorbed the other bracelet girls similar to Yuya absorbing his counterparts to defeat Zarc instead of what actually happened. Great character who essentially got screwed over increasingly as the series progressed.
Me, after just finishing Dark Signers arc: “Carly is obviously number 1” Me after watching this and hearing how they dropped the character because of the cultist voice actress: “...number 3.”
Usually that comes to Major Villains followed by Major Rivals followed by Secondary Protagonists. And then the rest are mostly jobbers or one-off characters.
Akiza is my favorite girl as she had an interesting backstory, a great design and could kick some serious deck. In the WC10: Reverse of Arcadia game, you duel her pretty early on and while you can win and not affect the story, you'll likely get blasted into that wall. I was so intimidated by that duel and that scene that I actually backed away from the game for a week thinking that I might not be able to beat it. I eventually did and it is easily one of my favorite Yugioh games, but it really made me respect Akiza as a duelist and made her anime version seem even better. So disappointed that she didn't even get a cameo in Arc V. Lazar got one and find me one person that never got annoyed with him at some point.
I think Akiza didn't get any appearance because it's heavily implied she's with Yusei oc & the former main protagonists iirc don't appear at all in ARC V , so her not appearing seems fine in that it's consistent
1 Skye 2 Akiza 3 Emma 4 Mai 5 Alexis 6 Serenity 7 Serena 8 Tea 9 Sherry 10 Rio It’s kind of hard to do a top 10 because a lot of these characters don’t do much. There are some who are so annoying I couldn’t put them like most of the girls from Zexal. But Rio wasn’t nearly as bad as Tori, Anna, or Cathy so I put her at the bottom of the list. The top 5 I think are legitimately good characters though. Yeah, they didn’t win many duels, but you have to expect a lot of characters to be sacrificed to build up the enemies for the main character to ultimately beat. I do wish vrains had ended differently though. I would have preferred if Skye and Akira had been able to defeat AI. Akira would have been able to avenge Queen, and Skye would have been able to spare Yusaku the pain of having to delete AI himself. But ultimately it always has to come down to the hero versus his partner, like in the original and Zexal.
1. Akisa, Good duellist + sad backstory + charakter development = best girl 2. Aoi, interesting personality and was just as if not importent as go and has a nice relationship with ghost girl. 3. Ghost Girl, her beeing a bountyhunter is interesting + how she often has a plan 4. Yubel, Introduced late but had a interesting relationship with Jaden. 5. Serena, Strong fusion duellist + funny scenes with Yugo. 6. Ishizu, Dylen`s list remindet me that this chharakter existet (somehow didn`t thought about her.) 7. Carly, Was good during the dark signer arc, but was disapointing after that. 8. Roboopy, Her limitet personality is justefied + she starts to learn. 9. Luna, Nice character, but couldn`t show how capable she is. 10. Alexis, Not a good rekord for the best femal duellist in the academy.
I do agree with you on almost all of these girls. I personally would have probably picked Ishizu as number one. I just always loved her as a character and I loved how she would have almost beat kaiba if it wasn’t for the millennium rob or kisara she probably would have won. Also I liked how she was important to the plot because without her then yami wouldn’t have got the Egyptian god cards and the would never got the myestrys of his past. But that’s my opinion and I think this was a grate video
I think Blair is pretty good female character. Her duels are fun to watch and she is an elementary schooler taking on high school duelist trained for dueling. She gave both Judai and Manjome a hard time.
Aki is also my favourite, but Emma and Aoi could take the number one spot, depending on how they're treated in the future of the show. Aside from all the popular girls out there that have already been mentioned several times by every one, one I really like is Mana (like, the real Mana, not Dark Magician Girl), from Duel monsters. I just love her design and her cheerful personnality, I wish she had more screen time... but then again that's something that can be said about pretty much every female character in YGO. I used to really like Blair from GX too when I was younger.
I’m really glad you picked Carly as an honourable mention! She’s my favourite Yugioh girl, I really related to her and she was just a really fun character. it’s really sad that after season 2 she only appears a few times and they turned her personality into being a Jack Atlas fangirl
Honestly the way you described how you felt about Yuzu's character and how she was handled describes how ARC-V went as a whole overall for me. Things were going great and very smoothly up until right before the big final showdown duel against Z-ARC. I was pretty much ready to crown ARC-V as my all-time favorite Yugioh series above 5ds. Then that final showdown plus the final 10-15 episodes happened and it just ruined it for me. The show completely imploded in on itself. I still enjoy it, but that final stretch of the show really knocks it down on my lists of all my Yugioh rankings. Also Aki (Akiza) is best girl and I'm glad you see so as well lol.
In my opinion Akiza Izinski or Aki Izayoi is, logically the best yugioh girl in history. She had a lot of dimension to her character while every female lead is nice in the beginning, she’s really inspirational. But one thing I will disagree with is Luna at number ten because she was a heavy background character and her brother could also go into the spirit world if he called out to her.
Good Video! My favorites are: 1) Emma 2) Aoi 3) Akiza 4) Alexis 5) Serena 6) Sherry 7) Mai 8) Queen (She is terrifying and has the potential to be a very good female villain) 9) Yuzu 10) Téa
I’m sorry but Mai should be higher in rank. She forfeit duels for her friends and should’ve won against Marin if it wasn’t for that BS “I hope you know how to read ancient Egyptian” and has a strong character arc. We all know if the writers had more respect for women from the beginning of the series, she’d actually win duels.
Haven't watched yet, but I can already hear "sadly she wasn't treated well" being used to describe each one of them
You know these videos a little too well xD
to be fair if you aren't the main character or the main trio in Yugioh, you are going to get screwed on development and screen time.

Those characters could make it to the top 10 mistreated characters
WELL Akiza was among the main trio BUT the cults thing happened so it was a "HOLY HOTCAKES WE HAVE TO ABORT THE STORY ARC WE HAD FOR HER AND REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING.....Hey Blackwings are popular, maybe they could fill the void.....".
The rest is story
Best girl is obviously Princess Mokuba
HAHA yes!! xD
All joking aside, the princess was an interesting character. :)
How come 4Kids censors guns, but crossdressing princess are a-ok?
ALL Hail Princess MOKUBA!!!! And ALL Hail Princess TRUNKS!!!!
No best girl is obviously goes to Tristan Taylor because my voice gives me super strength😂
As an Aki/Akiza fangirl myself, she will always be my top girl !
Absolutely
I NEVER SAW NUMBER ONE COMING. Not in a million years.. ;)
Dammit Naoki Shima should be number one!
Lmao
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS
It obvious akiza is just akiza
Akiza will never lose she is queen of the black rose and the queen of yugioh
I can't believe no one mentioned Tea/Anzu's 100% win rate (only 3 duels, and 1 of them was off screen-Joey), same with Serenity, but that was her only duel

My top 10 Best Girls in Yu-Gi-Oh!
10. Sherry Leblanc - she was badass, i just wish she did alittle more.
9. Yuzu Hiragi - OH MY GOD.....What happened here.....? She was my #2 at one point....look at how far she's dropped.....she's gotten the worst treatment of ANY female in the series.
8. Luna - she got an interesting ability i thought was only given to protags, and she's cute, but she got treated alittle worse then Akiza honestly.
7. Emma (Ghost girl) - Didn't like her at first, but she's growing on me.
6. Rio Kastle - I wish she was our female lead, I REALLY do.....
5. Rebecca Hawkins - I like her, plus i ship her and Yugi, they look so cute together.
4. Ishizu Ishtar - I always loved her design, plus I think she's VERY underappreciated. She has the best design of any female character in my opinion.
3. Skye Zaizen - Best character in VRAINS (So far.) I hope I'm still saying this when VRAINS is over.
2. Alexis Rhodes - I always liked Alexis, especially in Season 1 but they kind of gave her the short end of the stick in season 2 onward.
Honorable Mentions:
Tea Gardner, Blair Flannigan, Carly Camine, Dextra, Mai Valentine
1. Akiza Izinski - This shouldn't be a surprise, but it can't be anyone else. She is our best female lead.
Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Teà
Where is Kotori you Skyshipping hater
@@Natalie66796 My favorite Anzu looks are the two where she pairs thigh-high socks with platform sandals
But like Rebecca is 12 and Yugi is 16
Rio is a villain and I like Tori since she’s one of the only females that is done well I’m pretty sure the only other one is Ishizu and I guess Rio though they weren’t top top tier Duelists
Edit: they need to do another season of all the yugiohs but 5Ds especially with the epilogue
"Becomes an accomplished doctor" And that, more than anything, is why Aki will always be the best Yugioh girl to me.
At least she’s one of the few yugioh characters who could actually make a living in our world
@@Deathmare235 People give 5Ds season 2 flak nowadays but I still really like that they showed both Yusei and Akiza moving on from dueling to do something more useful. For all the crazy world saving stuff they had to do it's nice to remember that there's more to life than just dueling.
@@limonbattery everyone liked the ending but it could really use a prologue
@@Deathmare235 You mean foreshadowing. The idea of Akiza becoming a doctor seemed out of left field in execution but could've been used as the end of a "Do No Harm" character arc. And if Blood Rose Dragon was out back then, they could've used it as a sign that Akiza had grown past the grief and rage of her traumatic childhood.
@@Deathmare235 one of the few Yugioh characters that actually realized card games are dangerous.
While her backstory was good, i still kinda laughed that out of Yugioh context they could have solved her problem by just simply not playing the game lol (since her physic power is tied to making card effect real), but oh well, everyone play card game in Yugioh world
Aki is the hottest and the best Yugioh girl, in terms of personality for me. I anticipate a lot of arguments in the comments with a box of popcorn in my hands XD Nice list Dylan!
I completely agree, she is my favoritely designed girl and I think the best in terms of character arc !
Mana wins in personality for me, but Aki is hotter and probably the hottest.
She is the best bro. No doubt. Followed by Alexis
No one can compete with my akiza
Asuka is the best female duelist in all of yugioh
Aki obviously the top Yugioh girl, but Im glad that Im not the only who really likes Ishizu soo underated...
I like to see Rebecca Hawkins on the list....top 5 if not 3
Top 5 hottest yugioh girls XD
5. Ishizu (DM)
4. Mai (DM)
3. Alexis Rhodes (GX)
2. Emma (Vrains)
1. Akiza or Aki (5ds)
I can definitely agree with that assessment Miguel!
I'd probably put Tania in 3rd, bump out Mai, and then leave the rest as-is.
She just does Mai's thing better. Misawa is a lucky dog.
'.' I can Definitely get behind that list, I'd put DMG as a 6th though, & flip Ishizu & Alexis around
Broadbull, Enabler of Uncounted Combos you can't really include DMG because she's a card/card spirit
Mana exists as the character , & DMG appears as a character herself iirc
Mai is hands down my favorite, mostly because of how they explain how she fell under Dartz's control during the waking the dragons arc and how much I related to how she felt. As someone who deals with depression I really related to how she lashed out at her friends and the world due to them (in her eyes) not recognizing how much pain she was in and just that overwhelming desire to feel nothing. My own personal experience looked a lot like hers, I always alone and felt like I had to hide how hurt I felt not over one single issue but just the totality of everything so it was really nice to see a character act out the way I would. While I was really disappointed with how she just suddenly "snapped out of it" and they just never gave her a real conclusion or showed her getting real help it was still one of the few times I could relate to a character in any show
Also i know she's a Manga exclusive, but Midori Hibiki from the gx manga was fantastic and would be my number 2
Mai: “Who, who are you?”
Emma: “I’m you but richer and more entertaining to watch.”
"And i also lose all my battles."
Ruby Tuesday that’s Mai
@@Deathmare235 About that...
ua-cam.com/video/58y2Q42czEM/v-deo.html
Blank Blanckersen ah I see u are a man of culture as well
@@hightidekraken You would've thought that either Emma or Aoi could've pulled thru, what with fewer characters to compete with, being well-liked in execution and in the competitiveness and aesthetics of their cards, and just coming off of a series _infamous_ for how much it wasted its characters...but no...as swept to the side as much as any other character that's female and/or not in a core three of protag/rival/best friend.
The end though, “The best Waifu, I mean Yugioh girl...”
HAHA I had to
Celina best waifu 😊😊😊
Ishuzu is underrated.
My favs are Dark magician girl and Aki
DMG is great! Admittedly I somehow forgot about her character sense when I created this list
everyone loves DMG
@@meatkirbo Because cute is justice.
Why does everyone forget dmg
Who doesn't like DMG
Best girl for me is Clear Wing Synchro Dragon.
OMG yasss xDDDDDDD
No best girl is obviously Kuriboh.
that's my sister dude
But Yugo is a boy.
But Clear Wing's spellcaster version is female. (Don't believe me?Watch TGS Anime's video about Clear Wing.)
When you mentioned Carly I was like "OH MY GOD YES" because she was so good till the end of dark signers arc, and let's all be honest, 5ds was amazing till that too. I always will be left wondering what the show could have been like had the real life controversy not thrown everything out of whack.
I'd say read the manga for an example of that, but it only can go so far. It provides a better, actually fallible Yusei, a friend back in the Satellite that actually matters, the most epic of Riding Duels, and a far more complex take on Godwin. On the other points...it's about on the same level, tho I think that for what the women present were written for, it _is_ a little better. It at least doesn't lend hype to the likes of Aki and Ruca to similar levels as that of the protagonist, and then bottom it out for no good reason a short while into the overall series.
Carly, I'm sorry to say, gets a one-panel cameo. We can't have everything, I guess.
By "real life controversy", do you mean the financial crisis of 2008?
I’m calling it now, number one is Aki
After watching video: I called it!!!!
I agree with Aki/Akiza. She mattered til the very end which is honestly very rare! Her character development is amazing! Intriguing background story, everything fits! It’s a shame that the Dub cut so much good content 😔

That is a fair alternate title!
@@YugiohEverything Btw, why wasn't number 1 on this list? (S)he created duel monsters, the very game they play and helped saved their respective worlds :'(
Who
Princess Mokuba?😆
You wanna use that considering who's Number 10? Answer carefully.
Roboppy is the true best girl
Yeah not including her was a mistake
that scene from 68
shame she wasn't in the honorable mentions, ~maybe next time
I love the recap episode when she said that Yusaku generally struggled socializing with people and imagined a chibi Playmaker in a snow man. That was adorable.
That wasn't known at the time they said that
Good list ! I'm glad to see Ishizu in it. Even if she's not my favourite, I always thought she was an interesting character.
For Mai, it's true we never see her win but she wasn't a main character and DM only focused on Yuugi and Jonouchi so I think we should still consider that she was in the finals of both tournament (Duelist Kingdom and Battle City) and probably had a lot of unscreen wins.
And of course, Aki is first. Her first three duels are just so cool!
The thing about Mai is that she's a genius (in my opinion, I am absolutely biased, I admire her since elementary school). Also, in between Battle City and the Dartz-season she won several tournaments as shown in flashbacks. Yes, I know that this techniqually does not count, but she is a better duelist than actually shown in the show and a better character than many people think (especially males in my experience).
Not to mention she basically almost won over Marik ... Not her fault that one can apparently summon Ra only if they're read Egyptian. If she knew how to read the card she would have literally ended that season in that duel lol
Mai is the best 🔥🔥🔥
She was freaking robbed by the writers
I immediately loved this list when I saw Ishizu at #5! She's my favorite female character in Duel Monsters and my second favorite overall!
Thought she was so cool as a kid. Weirdly ship her and Kaiba.
She reminds me of Katara from Avatar
@@ci7210 i still ship her with kaiba
My top ten list:
10. Mai (in my opinion is she just fanserive)
9. Yuzu (as you said a damsell in distress)
8. Merag (is very strong and cool)
7. Anzu ( dueled like once(?) but is a very confidence woman and i liked her since the beginning)
6. Emma (i hope she doesn't end up like Mai and only be fanservice becausei like the vibes that she gives)
5. Yubel ( even though not much screentime i liked her duel with Judai and Amon at the end of season 3 and i think it evens her screentime out)
4. Aoi (Not much screentime but a very interesting character and her depression made her character reminds me of Aki and i loved that but currently we had 1 duel in this season that she lost i hope she gets better treatment in the next season)
3.Serena (I srsly never got bored of her i only wished she had much more screentime and they treated her like every other bracelet girl in the end. Her duel with Yuya and Yuto couldn't even it out but i still liked her)
2. Asuka (She had a great start and was strong but didn't get to duel as much as i hoped she would. I loved her and her character she is a great Female lead but they ruine her afterwards and her Tagduel with Judai was just awesome)
1. Aki (who else?) (i was stunned immediately as i saw her powers amd personality i fell sad for her because of her backstory (i stilll hate her parents) i fell in love with her personality and she's in my opinion the strongest female character in every spin-off and even the original female characters didn't stand a chance)
10: Luna got the shorter end of the stick than Akiza
9: Blame Quattro for Rio's pre-show injuries
8: Yuzu, the Rae Akaba variant from the Pendulum Dimension
7: Mai and her Harpies don't fare that well against stronger monsters, though Mai's purple high heel boots not being usable doesn't help
6: The Mai/Akiza hybrid from the sixth main series
5: Ishizu has only one Duel total, and Kaiba pulls a Future Trunks stunt to defeat her
4: Skye at 4? Bound to change later on
3: More Rae Akaba shenanigans, but now to Fusion
2: Lexi and her Cyber Angels managed to get quite a score, especially as she's statistically the best lead female (just missing perfection by win ratio to Anzu Mazaki)
1: And it's the Black Rose who comes out on top
Asuka/Alexis has statistically the best dueling record of all yugioh females, she's the best female duelist.
10) Luna
9) Tori
8) Rio
7) Rin
6) Yuzu
5) Masumi
4) Ray
3) Akiza
2) Serena
1) Emma (I just love her so much)

H3) Teà (I don't care what everyone says. I still love her)
H4) Mai
H5) Alexis (Arc V)
Ik I’m very late but, Carly Carmine, Ishizu, and Yuzu are my favorites
I'm a girl so I don't really pay attention to ygo girls lol😂😂 but my fav is DM : Mai, GX : None, 5ds : Aki, Zexal : Merag, Arc-V : Serena, Vrains : Emma
GX "None" XD xD That made me laugh, nice list Stella!
I want the girl with the tokens deck to be important. ALSO what about Yubel? or tht would be getting into a trap because Yubel is either shown as a boy, a girl, or as as both or none?
@@ianr.navahuber2195 This list is for 'human girl'. I see yubel as monster, so yubel won't be at list😂😂
@@zabeildugilaivelgeardt Touche
stella glowee-san daisuki! For GX not ALEXIS/ASUKA???
Izayoi Aki is untouchable. Her character during the first two seasons of 5D's was insanely good; and it is very tragic how her character went to mediocrity after the dark signers arc. but such a moving story she comes with
Definitely! She is easily the best girl we have seen in Yugioh just cause of those first two seasons
Yugioh Everything
the girl legitimately got abused by her parents, and it was shown in flashbacks. if you didn't feel for her after seeing that, you were deemed heartless. she's not only one of the most bad-ass protagonists, but antagonists too. an entire stadium full of people were terrified, on more than one occasion, from her dueling alone.
*Q U E E N*
*I C O N I C*
NOOOOOOO!!!! Putting Yuzu before Rio?!! I loved Rio!!! I think No.9 might be a little bit too low!
Love your No.5!! Ishizu was very underrated!! I thought she was so cool and I was so sad that she lost to Kaiba when she couldn't predict the future anymore and I was so sure that she was going to win!
Yeah! Go Serena!!! Loved Serena! Way better than Yuzu! If we're talking about the Bracelet Girls; I was a huge fan of Rin and Ruri, but Serena was really a highlight of Arc-V.
Oh god, I loved Tea (Anzu) and loved Serenity too! Both were strong and brave girls!!
Yeah man, Akiza!!! I loved Akiza and her Black Rose Dragon! Black Rose Dragon was amazing and I thought was one of the best monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! And yes, Akiza was very beautifully designed!
Ruby Giraffes I agree! I didn’t like Shark until Rio came and told everyone about his Shark pajamas.😂
Tea and Serenity sucked and Ishizu could always predict the future it’s just that she was fighting against Kaiba
Akiza should have gotten Majestic Rose Dragon & done a lot more. Yuzu really should have been the lead protagonist instead of Yuya, just think how awesome it would have been if she absorbed Serena, Rin, & Ruri to take down Zarc. I loved Tea (Anzu) as well & Ishizu really was awesome. I loved Aoi too, although Yugioh has a serious problem of screwing over the female duelists as the series progress. How long is it going to take to get a girl that's waifu tier the lead protagonist role? We came so close to getting that with Arc V, maybe series 8 will give us what we want if we're lucky?
I know this might be veery unpopular but my fav girl from Arc V was Ruri. I loved her empatethic and soft-spoken personality and how she always knows how to get through to Yuto. Besides, she isn't that much of a damsel in distress to me.
Top 10 duels- 10 t0 15 minutes
Top 10 Girls- 23 minutes ;)
HAHA I like to go more in depth when discussing characters!
Yeah i get what ya mean dude and keep it up!
@@YugiohEverything no I know u want to be yusei to kiss aki so bad lmao
I have to say Asuka, Aoi, and Aki are my favorite female characters. Asuka is what got me intp the TCG. Now I’m trying to find a way to combine her Cyber Angels with Aoi’s Trickstars to make a hybrid deck for my top two favs.
A very reasonable and good list Dylan.
Here is mine
1. Akiza
2. Aoi (Skye)
3. Serena
4. Ema ( I love her and all, but I would be way too biased if I put her at 1)
5. Ishizu
6. Rio
7. Alexis
8. Tea
9. Yuzu
10. Luna
This is such a well done list. Loved Ancient Fairy. Super sad the treatment her master got. Alexis. So mad Kite dueled Dennis on that stupid boat episode. And GX really let her down.That was supposed to be for her 100% Number 5 got me but you’re hella right. Mai too tho, they only ever paired her to duel against people that she had no chance to win against. Like seriously... 1st duel is against the main Antagonist... sure... we all were surprised with that result 🌚 Aki.... yeah her liking Yusei was the downfall... in general everyone got fucked with the turbo duel since really only 2/5 of the beginning mains could duel on them. They should have switched it. Instead of Land Duels in the 1st half. That should have been the 2nd half rather than the heavy turbo duel on the 2nd because that immediately shut out the girls and Leo too 😪 Yuzu..... dear god... that’s still a Stake to the heart to think about. Like opening the door to a kid on Halloween with FULL SIZE CANDY BARS.... Smiling @ them... then FIRMLY SLAMMING THE DOOR IN THEIR FACE.
I've been reading too much fanfiction. I actually thought that Yuzu wasn't such wasted character until you mentioned it.
I mean she did get off to an amazing start, one of the best starts any Yugioh Girl has gotten off too, I just feel she crashed and burned very hard towards the end
Yugioh Everything Like you mentioned in this video, Arc-V had a crowded cast of characters and I feel that they simply couldn't get proper development in course of 148 episodes.
@@YugiohEverything Literally in a way as it started with her lost to Surgey
Fanfics can be scary (talking from personal experience)
I just read a few fanfic but i already forgot that yuri is evil 😅
Really interesting video, Dylan! And this is even better since it includes girls that were important, but not the main female.
Ruka was one of my favorite characters in 5Ds, and she was said to be a dueling genius at three years old. It’s just a shame that she was kinda put to the side in favor of her attention grabbing brother.
Emma is a really interesting character to watch, and has a different spin on that character trope than Mai did. Emma taking losses to Revolver and Playmaker is not anything to be upset about either.
I really hope that Aoi is handed well for the rest of VRAINS! She really is an interesting character, she is deep, and duels well.
I really enjoy Asukas character as well, but I found it a bit odd that she was put so high after not living up the dueling level we thought she could be, like Mai (no disrespect intended , but it was just something I didn’t understand, lol). But then again, she did live up to it more than Mai did, so.
I think it would be really difficult to argue Aki out of the top spot on this list. She was just a strong character, and was able to get relevancy again toward the end of the series with using her psychic power to heal (accepting the power that caused her pain) and becoming a doctor!
I actually liked Rua not being a signer dragon. It just really felt like the twins were sharing the mark and just how inseparable they were. Also for me who was born into a family of academics and my autism making a high education impossible his struggle to prove that he belongs in the group really resonated with me.

Bruh, Ishizu definitely earned her spot by being a cool character and actually important to the plot, don't apologize for your preference.
Plus, and this might sound odd, but I love seeing a dark skinned girl on the list, feels good.
Just some quick thoughts on this list
#10 Luka " Ok Understandable"
#9 Rio "Noice"
#8 Yuzu "What a shame, So much potential"
#7 Mai "Having Mixed Feelings"
#6 Ema "YES! But why? lol"
#5 Ishizu "Best Girl!? I can rock with that."
#4 Aoi "Meh. Not to good, but not to bad either"
#3 Serena "Again Best Girl!? Not bad, not bad at all."
#2 Asuka "Of course! lol"
*Honorable Mentions* "I can see where you were going with this"
#1 Aki "Mhm, Why am I not surprised? lmao"
Minus the lack of Dark Magican Girl/Mana, I still enjoyed this video overall.

8.Aoi
7.Blair
6.Kiku
5.Rio
4.Ruri
3.Gagaga Girl
2.Serena
1. Dark Magician Girl and Ema Beshou (Couldn't chose between the two)
I loved the play by play Crimson! xD DMG/Mana was someone who didn't really cross my mind while making this list, so I'll take the L on that. She was a good character, probably could have made honorable mentions at least!
UZXCrimsonAvenger OMG, Mana wasn't bad at all!
Not gonna lie I was expecting her to be an honorable mention, because she's more than just a good lookin female monster. She's helped Atem/Yugi out of tight spots in certain duels and she's played major roles in Waking The Dragons and in Dawn Of The Duel as her past life Mana.
Lol this seems like a “Most Attractive “ style list 😅
I love Emma in my opinion. She's best girl
1Akiza/Aki (5ds) The Black Rose Queen /Witch changed the way people viewed female in yugioh smart and fierce personality and a excellent back story
2.Emma [Vrains) Ghost Girl steals 2nd place due to she skills as hacker and personality
3Masumi/ Julia Crystal takes 3rd spot for her mastery of fusion summoning and even tho she wasn't featured heavy in the show she still dominated
4.Rio ( zexal) the barin empress freezes the competition when she shines she doesn't disappoint
5. Sherry (5ds ) the French beauty rides in to fifth position due to her skills in synchro . / Selena ( Arc V) the lancers fusion duelist dances to a tie the main reason she's on here is for my love of LunaLights
6.Aoi ( Vrains) Links VrainsBlue Angel is charisma duelist who inspires hope and leaves us love struck
7. MaiValentine who doesn't love harpies
8.. Asuka the Queen of duel acdemey sides down to 8th place due to her lack luster performance in both gx and arc v
While she is a formidable duelist she didn't do that much
9. Isuzu slides in to 9th place she had one of my favorite duels which was against kabia
10. Blair ( Gx )
Interesting list. I never payed attention to some of those characters at all.
Though i do have to say one last thing.
Hail Queen Luna!
Danger!
Serenity will always be my #1, and honestly she's probably atleast 95% of the reason I even liked Joey at all, other than his comedic moments in the dub and some other things. I just love her sweet personality and courage.
At one time, Alexis was my favorite, and still remains one of my favorites.
truth be told, Akiza has never even scratched my top 10.
I also hope, one day, that the anime can get a leading female hero.
Her saving Joey was one of the most iconic moments for me. Once a blind girl. First thing she sees is her big bro saving his best friend. Then saves him. Did not expect that.
I thought Yuzu had good synchro dimension moments. When she attacks Roget while he has her captured, as well as her duel with Sergey and getting flung through a building. I also really liked how she tried to cheer Yuya up by imitating his catchphrase and when Yuya and Yuzu embrace at the end of the Synchro dimension. I'd say after that, she went downhill. For me its a 3 way tie between Yuzu, Alexis, Carly and Emma (depending on how Vrains treats her the rest of the way). Blue Angel, Rio and Akiza would be second. And honestly, Tea would be third. For me, Emma is a very smart and witty girl, very independent and strong willed. Also when you talked about Ishizu getting screwed by Kaiba via the millennium rod, all I could picture is "screw the rules, I have a rod" xD I will also say Alexis is the only female to actually beat the rival. She duels and defeats Chazz in that love duel.
Ishizu's husband will be one lucky man.
I headcanon it as Kaiba. He could really use someone like her to be less of a self-centered douche.
I ship her and Kaiba
@@ci7210 same but i ship kaiba also with sera from dsod movie
As much as this list gives them a good light, it doesnt change the fact these girls are so poorly treated in the franchise
Other reasons why Aki is the best: first girl to actually rescue the main character, which was a nice change of pace, the Summoning of both Black Rose and Stardust against Team Unicorn and the first girl to beat the main character at something (in the manga; though it wasn't a duel in the usual sense, she at least beat Yusei at something).
Even though she was still downgraded in the second half of 5DS, she's still better than most of the girls on this list......

Came to see if best girl was number one. I was not disappointed.
Good list. I only would've placed Mai somewhere in the top 5, as she represents one of the stronger female duelists with some solid character development. I like that Ishizu got some recognition. I do love both Aki and Asuka but they have cut their characters short where they are both reduced to damsel in distressed and cheerleaders.
But the voice and or face is meh in comparison to the others

18:37 Of Course. The pretty much everyone's favorite Aki Izayoi/Akiza Ishiki. It helps she is pretty much an X-Men character in the YuGiOh Franchise. I wonder how the series would have been had the writers had been left free to tell whatever story they had planned for Akiza (sadly due to that controversy of the cults, that never happened. And Blackwings popularity was the final nail in the coffin, like a "remate" or finsihing blow)

What's a husbandos.
A personal favorite is Anna from Zexal due her tomboyish and reckless personality, which immediately got my attention as well as infested to what her deal was than most of the girl that were either boring or did not show much at that point. But my favorite part about her, is her Deck which not only captured her personality perfectly but is vastly different than any other female used deck from before and even after. Rather than use a deck that are....typical for a girl to use (flowers, pixies, fairy tale based decks), Anna uses a Rank 10 train Deck, or Runaway Train if we want to go by the anime. Don’t know look it up and you will be amazed. Sadly, even though she is my favorite girl in Zexal, even more than Rio, I honestly make her an Honorable mention due to her impossibly short screen time and wasted potential. Seriously, could you imagine if Anna was the main female lead instead of Kotori, these two reckless and adventure filled character that would push each other to greater height, not just as duelist but as adventurers would have made a far more compelling dynamic between Yuma and the female lead. But nevertheless, Anna with her flaring personality and awesome design is a personal favorite. Here’s to hoping we get another (and actually relevant) female character like her.
Yess 100% this. Aside from her weird love towards Yuma, which I personally thought was unnecessary, she was such a fun character to watch. I do think the reason she didn't get enough screentime mainly because Konami had no interest in expanding her deck, At least now Konami is finally giving more love to train, I'm still surprised Konami created two number cards for her.
Matt Shen Oh man I wish that she at least used the Rank 10 number in the manga. That would have been awesome. Better yet, she made an appearance in manga and become a relevant character. Kinda like how Bastion from GX maintain importance in the manga.
Hehe. Rank10 Traiiiiiiins
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH MY FAVORITE GIRL IS GETTING ACTUALLY SUPPORT IN THE UPCOMING LEGENDARY DUELIEST SET AAAAAAHHHH IM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you gave Yuzu most of the credit she deserves. But I swear me and you remember the Yuri duel differently so one of us needs to rewatch that part. I think peaked later than you do. Her duel against Enjoy Tokumatsu could have just been filler but was actually a great duel. Her duel against Sergey ended poorly but parts of it developed her character more. Even when she was captured by Jean she shoved him against his table which was badass! But I understand most people ranking Serena higher than Yuzu, I am in the minority there.
Ishizu is underrated. People often act like Anzu and Mai are the DM girls. I like her a lot too!
You give Asuka so much credit. I just never cared for her. She just felt so bland and boring.
Everything else I mostly agree with. Besides Rio being popular but a bit meh for me.
I hate when she started crying it made me cry
I like Serena, but honestly I do not seem as good a character as many paint it, it's just a rougher Yuzu and nothing more.
Aki Deserves that Rank!!!
Aki I mean come on. Who else would be deserving of the #1 spot.
The girl who gets the same level of status as Yugi, Jaden Yuki, Yusei, etc? Yuzu could have been that although got royally screwed as the series progressed past Season 1. Yuzu would have been perfect for the lead protagonist role although instead of absorbing the other bracelet girls the way Yuya absorbed his counterparts to become the hero who would defeat Zarc, she ended up getting kidnapped. Maybe Series 8 we'll finally get the female lead we've waited so long for?
Aki also lost Andre (I think that’s his name) from Team Unicorn in the WRGP. Still, Aki rocks at the number one spot!
I’d love to see an arc about her taking down the Arcadian Movement almost all by herself (Yusei could have helped her a little)
Great list! The first place is obvious, but who would have chosen someone else tbh xD
I hope Ema can climb a little higher as VRAINS progresses^^
One that I found to be underappreciated was Anna Kaboom. I always liked her, and love the fact that she always carries around a cannon.
Aye, Akiza is best girl in my list....
.....though Aoi maaaaay surpass her if she does something interesting by the end of Vrains.
Aoi has the chance! She also has the chance to really just plummet, so it's fair to be nervous about her in the future
Yugioh Everything that’s something I can most certainly agree with.
Yugioh Everything
It’s a wonder she’s managed to get this fair without her dialogue devolving to just saying Yusaku/Playmaker.
EXACTLY. Konami has 2 perfectly good characters with prominent META decks (Trickstars and Altergeist, both TCG and OCG), SO treat them the same way as you treated Crow due to his Blackwings, an we promise you this time, everyone would actually like the idea.
ALSO please stop pushing us with Soulburner. It didn't work out with Johan/Jesse way back in GX, in won't work now.
I don't know about Tindangles. In 68 episodes and counting, they have appeared in just 3 episodes. I like them, but i dont see them being shown again.
Yeah, So Far the Zaizens plus Ghost Girl have driven the narratvie a lot
Well,my own list would be
10 Ruri
9 Anna
8 Rio
7 Mai
6 Emma
5 Yuzu
4 Aoi
3 Dark Magician Girl should count as one
2 Serena
1 Aki
100% agree with that #5 choice! She’s one of my favorite of the series, thanks including her
Please do Top 10 Yugioh Boys next
Weaklings altogether, and no actual relationsships ever. There's a serious sexism problem with the writers. Girls get even hypend and then they are incredible weak or annoying. It's incredible how the 4 Girls in Arc V got treated, just incredible.
Slevin Channel the writers must be best friends with the Naruto guys
Even in Naruto the female characters don't get mistreated this badly. Yuzu should have been the lead protagonist the entire time & absorbed the other bracelet girls similar to Yuya absorbing his counterparts to defeat Zarc instead of what actually happened. Great character who essentially got screwed over increasingly as the series progressed.
Me, after just finishing Dark Signers arc: “Carly is obviously number 1”
Me after watching this and hearing how they dropped the character because of the cultist voice actress: “...number 3.”
when vrains is over please do a top 10 strongest duelist except the protagonists
I definitely will be doing a lot of Top 10 lists when VR ends!
Yugioh Everything great, but no protagonists because they're way too good duelists
Usually that comes to Major Villains followed by Major Rivals followed by Secondary Protagonists.
And then the rest are mostly jobbers or one-off characters.
Chaos of madness Yusei was invincible, but now I think Yusaku might be too
Reijo wrecks.
Akiza is my favorite girl as she had an interesting backstory, a great design and could kick some serious deck. In the WC10: Reverse of Arcadia game, you duel her pretty early on and while you can win and not affect the story, you'll likely get blasted into that wall. I was so intimidated by that duel and that scene that I actually backed away from the game for a week thinking that I might not be able to beat it. I eventually did and it is easily one of my favorite Yugioh games, but it really made me respect Akiza as a duelist and made her anime version seem even better. So disappointed that she didn't even get a cameo in Arc V. Lazar got one and find me one person that never got annoyed with him at some point.
I think Akiza didn't get any appearance because it's heavily implied she's with Yusei oc & the former main protagonists iirc don't appear at all in ARC V , so her not appearing seems fine in that it's consistent
1 Skye
2 Akiza
3 Emma
4 Mai
5 Alexis
6 Serenity
7 Serena
8 Tea
9 Sherry
10 Rio
It’s kind of hard to do a top 10 because a lot of these characters don’t do much. There are some who are so annoying I couldn’t put them like most of the girls from Zexal. But Rio wasn’t nearly as bad as Tori, Anna, or Cathy so I put her at the bottom of the list. The top 5 I think are legitimately good characters though. Yeah, they didn’t win many duels, but you have to expect a lot of characters to be sacrificed to build up the enemies for the main character to ultimately beat. I do wish vrains had ended differently though. I would have preferred if Skye and Akira had been able to defeat AI. Akira would have been able to avenge Queen, and Skye would have been able to spare Yusaku the pain of having to delete AI himself. But ultimately it always has to come down to the hero versus his partner, like in the original and Zexal.
Ishizu is amazing
Right!? She deserves more love/recognition!
Indeed. She is awesome.
1. Akisa, Good duellist + sad backstory + charakter development = best girl
2. Aoi, interesting personality and was just as if not importent as go and has a
nice relationship with ghost girl.
3. Ghost Girl, her beeing a bountyhunter is interesting + how she often has a plan
4. Yubel, Introduced late but had a interesting relationship with Jaden.
5. Serena, Strong fusion duellist + funny scenes with Yugo.
6. Ishizu, Dylen`s list remindet me that this chharakter existet (somehow didn`t thought about her.)
7. Carly, Was good during the dark signer arc, but was disapointing after that.
8. Roboopy, Her limitet personality is justefied + she starts to learn.
9. Luna, Nice character, but couldn`t show how capable she is.
10. Alexis, Not a good rekord for the best femal duellist in the academy.
My personal favorite main female protagonist of Yugioh is Anzu Mazaki aka Tea Gardner. 😍😀😁😂😃😄😅😆😉😊😎
She's good
Nice video. By the way, are you ever going to continue the 5ds episode reviews?
10. Misty Lola

@ULGROTHA She's the hottest and has good character development. Besides the fact she became a Dark Signer she seems really nice.
I really like playing with her deck.
Rebecca had some fun duels to watch
This wasan amaing list, great work
Top 5 girls from Yugioh Series
5:Serena
4:Alexis
3:Aoi
2: Yuzu
1:Aki
Thank you so much! Great list Nick!
I do agree with you on almost all of these girls. I personally would have probably picked Ishizu as number one. I just always loved her as a character and I loved how she would have almost beat kaiba if it wasn’t for the millennium rob or kisara she probably would have won. Also I liked how she was important to the plot because without her then yami wouldn’t have got the Egyptian god cards and the would never got the myestrys of his past. But that’s my opinion and I think this was a grate video
Last I checked, kaiba won because a robot from the future told him
I think Blair is pretty good female character. Her duels are fun to watch and she is an elementary schooler taking on high school duelist trained for dueling. She gave both Judai and Manjome a hard time.
My favorite top 5 yugioh girls are Shizu, zuzu, Serena, akiza, and Alexis
"The best waifu-I mean girl..." I laughed so hard at that,lol!
Aki is also my favourite, but Emma and Aoi could take the number one spot, depending on how they're treated in the future of the show. Aside from all the popular girls out there that have already been mentioned several times by every one, one I really like is Mana (like, the real Mana, not Dark Magician Girl), from Duel monsters. I just love her design and her cheerful personnality, I wish she had more screen time... but then again that's something that can be said about pretty much every female character in YGO. I used to really like Blair from GX too when I was younger.
My poor Carly. TT
I really like Serena Fusion Summoning scene. it have power to it.
I’m really glad you picked Carly as an honourable mention! She’s my favourite Yugioh girl, I really related to her and she was just a really fun character. it’s really sad that after season 2 she only appears a few times and they turned her personality into being a Jack Atlas fangirl
Honestly the way you described how you felt about Yuzu's character and how she was handled describes how ARC-V went as a whole overall for me. Things were going great and very smoothly up until right before the big final showdown duel against Z-ARC. I was pretty much ready to crown ARC-V as my all-time favorite Yugioh series above 5ds. Then that final showdown plus the final 10-15 episodes happened and it just ruined it for me. The show completely imploded in on itself. I still enjoy it, but that final stretch of the show really knocks it down on my lists of all my Yugioh rankings. Also Aki (Akiza) is best girl and I'm glad you see so as well lol.
You see his Anime vs. Manga video for her? _...damn_ was that depressing...
Awesome video, man. My list is: 1. Mai Kujaku
2. Ishizu Ishtar
3. Aki Izayoi
4. Asuka Tenjoin
5. Anzu Mazaki
6. Shizuka Kawai
7. Rei Saotome
Why serena, i mean come on, she didnt really do all that much....Also for me Carly and or Sherry do belong here.
She do much more then yuzu
Awesome list! I would to see your ten males in Yu-Gi-Oh! ✌️
In my opinion Akiza Izinski or Aki Izayoi is, logically the best yugioh girl in history. She had a lot of dimension to her character while every female lead is nice in the beginning, she’s really inspirational. But one thing I will disagree with is Luna at number ten because she was a heavy background character and her brother could also go into the spirit world if he called out to her.
Good Video! My favorites are:
1) Emma
2) Aoi
3) Akiza
4) Alexis
5) Serena
6) Sherry
7) Mai
8) Queen (She is terrifying and has the potential to be a very good female villain)
9) Yuzu
10) Téa
Great list Z-One! Queen def has the potential to shoot her way onto this list!
I’m sorry but Mai should be higher in rank. She forfeit duels for her friends and should’ve won against Marin if it wasn’t for that BS “I hope you know how to read ancient Egyptian” and has a strong character arc. We all know if the writers had more respect for women from the beginning of the series, she’d actually win duels.
Your video always being me joy. Keep up the awesome job.
