Here’s some suggestions. 1. Top 10 no result duels and how would you play them out had they continued? 2. Top 10 or 20 most situational cards in the anime (both printed and anime only) 3. Most seen rival aces 4. Top 10 or 20 dub moments 5. Top 10 Best animated episodes/scenes 6. Top 10 best animators 7. Ranking every maximum monster in Sevens 8. Most seen best friend aces 9. Ranking all Utopia evolutions 10. Ranking every tag duel/Battle Royales
Wonder how many of the situational cards slot would be taken up by Arc V? Seemingly a lot going by how often Actions Cards saved Yuya's ass. The duel writing outright seem to prevent him from having any trap or defensive options in his deck in the early parts of that show. Then again maybe they shouldn't count since they're technically "legal" in universe which would be BS in the real game otherwise.
Technically because of Yugi's Turn Jump, the Yugi vs Atem duel was 32 turns, which would put it at number 4. Even disregarding that, 'though, there were 26 turns of actual play, which would put it tied for last
It makes sense that the duels from the earlier seasons got in so many turns. There were barely any effects there so of course it took more time to win. After some seasons there were so many effects that the games ended earlier BUT since it takes time to announce the effects and activate them and counter them the duels still seem long.
to be fair, monsters did have effects, but the duelists all just made them up on the fly (attacking the flotation ring, weevil not needing to wait all the turns for cocoon, mai not being able to read egyptian and therefore not use ra, etc.)
@Safersephiroth777: I feel like it's because of what you said about games feeling long because of the time needed to announce the card effects is pretty spot-on, since even though a regular duel may resolve in fewer turns than they used to, the number of different effects being activated each turn makes the turns in and of themselves take longer to play out. This seems to be especially true in combo decks that aim to get a bunch of monsters on the field as quickly as possible, as you need many special summoning effects to accomplish such a feat
@@Namingway248 For the Weevil one, there actually is a version of Great Moth that you can summoned with the amount of turns Weevil had before Yugi destroyed the Cocoon of Evolution with Gaia.
@@retrogamer6403 The JP version did actually clarify that it counts as a diffrent monster. It was only the dub where it seems like "It's slightly weaker, but it is still the thing."
It’s funny because I distinctly remember the Frost/Thunder vs. Hassleberry/Syrus duel because when I was younger, I DVR’d it when it aired on TV. I also remember how it was a callback to Yugi/Kaiba’s tag duel against Umbra/Loomis since both duels take place on top of the same building
yea but shockingly was only 16 turns, not even the longest duel of the season. but thats because every single turn had importance and very crucial story parts were being told for the series.
The reason why Joeys duels last so much longer is partly because he is shown to be a rookie duelist but also he was Kazuki Takahashi's favourite character so when he could in the story he world make his duels stretch out because he loved the Joey character so much. Although he did prefer the Japanese voice actors portrayal rather than the dubs which is funny considering how he liked Setos dub actor better than the sub...I'm rambling
I feel like creators who make such popular rival characters (like Kaiba and Vegeta) often end up liking them far less than the audience likes said characters. It also seems like this is why Kaiba and Vegeta are never able to defeat a major arc villain on screen lol
3:20 ah yes, Duelist Kingdom and the invisible gun epidemic. Although I'd argue that the more infamous example is from earlier when 2 goons tried to kill Kaiba using their invisible guns, Kaiba kicks a chair at them, and then he jumps out the window.
i really hate this duel: team 5ds vs team unicorn represents everything wrong with season 2 of 5ds. Everybody lose and yusei defeats everybody, and it was the last time that akisa turbo duels agains.
@@silvernapper2797 Aki should have at least got a win over one of them before passing the baton to Yusei, spent all that time learning to ride only to loose, such a shame
I believe Team Unicorn are the best opponents in 5ds. A legitimate strategy (no spuernatural forces at work), planned and executed brilliantly and it felt like real stakes when it first aired. It just fell down a little due to the writers not really knowing how to effectively end the duel which made Jean's decision seem against his character. Also since the next episode with Team Catastrophe seemed to imply that a loss wouldn't hurt 5ds chances too much, it made that Yusei's win seem too convolulted imo.
This just really hit home to me how I could never do a modern yugioh duel. There's just too much to remember and keep track of for a single turn nowadays.
I was kinda surprised Strings vs Yugi wasn't up because that duel was based on a deck out when Strings was controlled by Marik and he used the grave + ameba combo to then get Slifer to infinity
Same, I thought that would be the 41 turns duel because Strings decks out, but I'm guessing the lock that Yugi did all happened in one turn, not multiple
Having just watched the Kaiba vs Yugi duel in the Coliseum, it does sort of make sense. Not only was there a lot of talking in that duel, but Joey's trip through the Shadow Realm took up a good portion as well... And the sheer amount of times we watched flashbacks of things we'd already seen flashbacks of was a bit ridiculous during tha, haha.
I personally love these sort of "niche" questions, cause I'm curious to find the answer whenever they pop up on recommended If I had to give my suggestion, what about a percentage breakdown of the types/attributes in every protagonist's deck? Obviously Yusaku and Jaden would lean toward Cyberse and Warrior respectively, but attributes could also be fun to see!
Honestly I love the long-turn duels as they were fun to watch even if they were so long. Anyways how about which Yugioh show has the most Easter eggs? Or which duelist cheated the most?
Right. For once Team 5Ds weren't the underdogs going up against insane odds. Instead it was Team Taiyo who had to really set up a nearly impossible bored for a nearly impossible monster
and yet for the English DUB of 5D's that ENTIRE duel is NOT in it at all in fact the English DUB of 5DS's only lasted for 125 OUT of the 154 episodes that Japan got.
THAAAAANK YOU finally im so glad someone is talking bout this duel. The premise n everything was great. Just like Joey Vs valon one of THE MOST underated duels like this had it all and my boys was legit fighting fist and all.
Tbh they should’ve lose that duel and they still could’ve dueled team catastrophe and had that mini arc to get back into the bracket had a rematch with Unicorn and then continued on to beat the rest from there
How the fuck did it teach them teamwork? Yusei had to carry after Aki and Jack lost and solo 3 duelists. Including one who is too braindead to just end his turn for an assured cause heaven forbid Yusei ever lose a duel even one with no stakes. I hate this duel. It is everything wrong with 5Ds summarized beautifully.
TGS Anime had a series of videos on who was the "best duelist" in various subcategories based on win rate and number of duels they're actually in (with the idea that a good duelist is willing to put their win streak on the line vs a lucky person who won 1 duel and never dueled again) I also wanted to call out that I appreciate that you took the time to focus on the longer duels in the spinoffs that didn't make the list, though you missed Sevens. I half figured it would make a surprise appearance due to how quick the turns were that maybe one would show up, but I guess not!
I think ELO score has been growing in competitive gaming circles fairly recently. Might be interesting to give that a whirl. Sevens has most of their longest duels reach like 6 turns, because they make plays really quickly. Rush Duel inherently can fit more actions into a single turn. And consider that if both players use 3 cards in their hand on average per turn that they would deck out by their 12th draw phase, and if they exhaust their hand each turn that would be their 7th.
3:35 it's funny that in Kaiba Battle City rules it is said that burn damage is not allowed but in 5Ds is all the time and I love it! Since I am a sucker for Burn Damage Strats
@@sirwolfy9372 I think it was Direct Damage which wasn't allowed. It always bothered me, that line, anyway. You can program it so that it's almost lifelike, but not to reject Direct Damage cards when players try them out?
@@sirwolfy9372 Ectoplasmer was allowed, because both players took turns to send their own monsters to the graveyard. Ring Of Destruction was allowed, because both you and your opponent lost the same amount of Life Points (unless you activated Ring Of Defense or other card similar to that effect). Meanwhile Hinotama is costless; therefore, it was prohibited.
The game with Noah was so long because of the lifepoints he had. You can make any game last that long if your opponent can't take your lifepoints away. Even Yugi basically had to 1 shot him or he would've never won lol. A interesting one to do is who says their catchphrase the most lol.
I really liked that the duel with Pegasus yugi just using his own cards no having some special ancient card just his own cards and whatever bs he made up
I forget what happened in the anime, but in the manga Joey vs Bonz might have been the longest. Because of Duelist Kingdom rules, Joey went through every single card in his deck before he drew his out. I believe Bandit Keith said in his duel against Joey, that he saw every card in his deck so he knows how to counter it
Am I the only person who actually like the Cyber World arc, it gave us some nice backstory for Kaiba, & it has some of the best duels in the first series, like Joey & Yugi vs. the Big 5 & Kaiba & Atem Vs Noah
You're not the only one. I think the only issue people have with it is obviously because it happens right in the middle of the Battle City arc. If it was its own arc that happened post Battle City, I think it would have been much better received and more beloved. But people remember it mainly as the filler arc that existed to create time for the Battle City arc to finish so they could finally wrap up Battle City. But I love the Virtual World arc. Kaiba gets great development. We learn more about his past. We see some great extra duels with characters who aren't Yugi, Kaiba or Joey (giving sone other characters more of the spotlight). Deck masters were fun breaks from Battle City. The animation was top tier in this arc. Kaiba may not have won against Noah but we see him get closure against Gozaburo instead. It's a great arc that deserved to be it's own separate season post Battle City.
Back in February I actually figured out the average length of duels depending on the series these were my results Original Series: 16 GX: 8 5D's: 8 ZEXAL: 7 ARC-V: 6 VRAINS: 5
I am not surprised at all that no GX games made this list. Unless it was like a big end of the season duel or a duel against a REALLY important character/villain every duel in that series was basically one episode long.
Was really surprised not to see Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz on here cause that duel felt like it lasted a millennium. The wiki says the duel was 29 turns though, so idk if it was just forgotten about or the wiki is wrong but it should be on here too
Can you go over ways duels were decided by means other than going to 0 LP? Winning through a specific effect, decking out the opponent, conceding, winning by disqualification, one player cannot physically continue...
And my axe! I will never forget that episode or YGOTAS haha. Crazy to think that duel lasted for 41 turns! Man, I miss those days! Duels are great now too, they're just different.
I don't think there's such a thing as useless information. The more info you know about something the better you understand it. So videos like this are really fascinating. At least to me
Here is some suggestions (didn't read the rest of the comments, and I may have missed some past top lists, so I apologize if some of these have already been suggested/already exist). -Most number of materials/tributes used in a single summon (whether ritual or extra deck). -Most number of monsters summoned during a single turn. -Most number of card activations during a duel (including spells, traps and monster effects activated from the field and graveyard) -Most number of turns passed without one/both duelists attacking. -Most number of turns where one/both duelists took no damage.
Sorry to be that guy, but you missed 2 duels. 1) Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz was 29 Turns. 2) Yugi vs Atem was 32 Turns (if you count the turns that were skipped due to Turn Jump).
When I used to play, we both were running exodia. we just played our hands on the table since we bother knew each others decks. I finally won with 5 cards left in my deck, his finally piece was 2nd to last. We had a huge crowd watching and they let out a big scream when it finally ended
This isn't really stat related, but it would be fun to hear your personal list of the top 10 most BS duels in the franchise. Like the Team Unicorn example, I can think of many instances where a character definitely should've lost but only pulled through due to plot armor.
Huh. I'm surprised Everyone vs Zarc wasn't that long. It sure sounded like it was given all the infamy I've heard behind it. But moreover, I'm shocked that that Yugi/Kaiba vs Dartz wasn't on the list. I thought for sure that duel had a lot more turns, it certainly felt long.
When you mentioned Joey's "set/pass"ing I assumed Joey vs Bones for the top spot since Joey went through near every monster in his deck at the time it seemed
13:43 FUN FACT!!! EVEN THAT THE NOA ARC WAS MADE TO LET TAKAHASHI BEEN ABLE TO FINISH THE BATTLE CITY ARC! EVEN WITH THOSE DRAGGED OUT DUELS! EVEN WITH ALL THOSE DUEL MECHANICS! EVEN WITH A RECAP EPISODE RIGHT AFTER THE END OF THE ARC! TAKAHASHI HAVE NOT FINISHED THE YUGI VS MARIK DUEL! FOR CONTEXT! TAKAHASHI WASN'T EVEN FINISHED THE YUGI VS KAIBA DUEL AT THE TIME OF THE FILLER ARC! AND I THEORIZE THAT DUE TO THAT! THE ACCLAIMED DUEL OF YUGI VS JOEY WAS NEVER MADE!!! AND THE LAST EPISODE WAS ANOTHER RECAP.
I actually remember the duel between Syrus/Hassleberry and Frost/Thunder! It happened during one of my favorite mini arcs of GX season 2 when Jaden (I use dub names as I'm a dub watcher!) and his friends traveled to Domino City and visited many of the locations of the Battle City duels that happened in Duel Monsters. I really liked this duel as it took place in the exact same spot where Yugi and Kaiba dueled Lumis and Umbra in the sky scraper duel (around episode 70 I believe). One of my favorite duels in Battle City where the stakes were extremely high (quite literally!). I was disappointed with the end result though because unlike the previous duel, no one falls through the building after losing, like Umbra did back in Battle City. But other than that, a really cool duel, paying homage to the original series. Great video, Dylan!
I predicted the Noah duel was gonna be the 41 turn duel you'd pick. Good choice! I remember watching this duel when it aired on tv and I remember thinking that it was taking forever!
The Syrus Hassleberry tag team duel I remember mainly because monarchs, it’s a tag duel which at least in GX didn’t happen a few times each season, super vehicroid stealth union, and it’s part of the Domino city arc which features another more famous tag duel
Rules to remember in Season 1 of DK You must summon a monster once per turn or you lose You can not attack directly Monsters destroyed by spell or trap effect , half of thier attack points are deducted from your life points No tributing monsters except Rituals and Fusions So season has alot of Summon and pass because if you didn't summon a monster you Immediately lose. Also monsters over 2500 ATK points and spell and trap cards was rare, so if an opponent summoned say a BEWD, you most likely didn't have an answer to it and had to set a monster and pass. And because you can't attack directly this was a decent strategy to draw out your deck for a card that can handle it.
As soon as you said “duels count if one player takes over for another” I knew Noah vs Yugi/Kaiba would be the #1 duel. There’s so many draw/set turns in that duel!
I was sort of surprised that the duel from the first Yu-Gi-Oh! movie wasn’t a thing until I remembered Kaiba had that one virus trap card with the tentacles that made Yugi discard so many cards from his deck
I have a video idea rank every never dub duel in yugioh. also does anyone feel like zarc duel was longer then 20 turns or is that just me. I know it 20 turns but to me it felt longer then that. Still one of my favorite duel.
Here's a list that I think would be fun: What are some of the best OTKs that we've seen in the Anime? There can be a number of factors in it, like the emotional weight of the OTK, how earned it felt, how cool was it, was it when the character had their back against the wall, etc.
@@christopherb501 Yuma does it like… all the time. Yugi also did it against Seeker, most of the Xyz Dimension Duelists pulled it off, and I'm sure Jaden did it at least once.
You should make a video on the longest duels of wach series, because there is just dm and 5ds featured here and on the most card played in a single turn
You think this is silly, I never thought about how long some of these duels are. I knew some like Yugi vs. Pegasus went on for eternity, but I didn't know how many of them were like this. Glad you made this video anyways.
I have a topic that has legitimately been keeping me up at night: What kind of decks do they teach at Communication Duel School? It’s one of the many schools we see advertising in Arc V, but it is really the only one that I just can’t figure out. Every other school has an obvious name, artwork in the advertisement or we actually see the school during that montage of Sora duels. This is just the name of the school with a super simple logo on a little billboard and I just can’t figure out what they teach there. Obviously dueling, but every school has a theme to their lessons except LDS which is basically everything. Also, I kind of expected that tag duel from GX to be on here. Yes, I remember it, but mostly because our heroes kind of cheat. They take advantage of a monster with a reflective surface so they can see each other’s hands and figure out how to set each other up without talking. It was a fun way to show that despite their rivalry for roll of Jaden’s best friend, they are indeed friends themselves.
Where did the subtitled footage for scenes in the last couple segments (like at 10:29) come from? I've seen poor quality HK-based English subs and the GX-ST subs, but nothing quite like that. Looks like a good translation, is that available?
KInda feels wierd having S1 duels when be compared of lenght with rest of yugioh duels, as they are playing completly different game there. But its suprising how many empty turns those had in general
I'm really shocked none of the duels in Zexal were more than 12. Some of them lasted for a couple episodes but then again a lot of zexal was reaction shots and mind-numbingly long parts where they would just talk
I need to say that the Duelist Kingdom rules were very wacky but I thought that was only wacky during the different field types that were provided by the arenas BUT NO! TAKAHASHI PUT VERY OTHER LAYERS KF STRATEGY INTO THE FINALS! And I actually like the duels from the castle more than those from the other areas, it's amazing. Also, is only me or should the "Shadow Realm" or "Dome of Darkness" should let Dark monsters have boost like the Yami Field Spell? Since the duel against Panic didn't have those boosts only Field manipulation? I could be wrong doh
I'm surprised the Yugi/Kaiba versus Dartz duel wasn't mentioned. I know someone in the comments keeps saying it lasted only 16 turns but according to the Yugioh wiki it lasted 29 turns. It's been away since I've watched the duel so I don't know if there is something that happens in it that disqualifies it as one of the longest duels. Like if Dylan counted Yugi/Kaiba vs Dartz as one duel and when Kaiba lost and it was Yugi vs Dartz as a separate duel or something.
well we can just rule out every duel not in duel monsters already because duels had more substance to them and they went far longer back then, episode wise its either yugi vs kaiba 3rd duel or yugi and kaiba vs dartz at 6 episodes. for turn wise its either yugi and kaiba vs noah at 41 turns or if you dont count that yugi vs pegasus 2nd duel at 37 turns, i lean towards the pegasus duel since it was a one on one(kinda lol). i knew all this before i even watched this video.
Basically I felt however many "To Be Continued..." duel episodes, the longer stretched it is the more likelihood it'll make it in the list. Kaiba vs Yugi Round 3, Marik vs Yugi, Joey vs Marik, Dartz vs Kaiba and Yugi...I felt Valon vs Joey was also long too
Team 5ds vs Team Unicorn was a really fun fight, prolly my second favourite in the 5ds series. Sure the ending of the fight was bad, but each turn had an important impact in the final outcome. I still love final yusei vs jack fight.
I kind of understand it though. One thing I like to do in duels is threaten my opponent with the possibility of decking out, making them do rash things to try and end it quicker because I’ve already milled their decks a bit. But in reality deck out isn’t my end game, I just wanna play mind games.
My pick for the longest would have been Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz. although I did correctly predict that Joey vs Odion would be here since I remember that early in the duel Odion was trying to bait Joey by just passing his turn over and over
I've been wanting to know this question's answer for so long, every time I tried looking it up it was just number of episodes the duel took, and god, that always pissed me off.
Rank the most times a person summoned monsters, this counts by all means: setting,flipping, normal, double, tributing, Special, ritual, Fusion, synchro, xyz, Pend which yes be counting each monster summoned in pendulum summon, and links
If Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains had a Duel that lasted more than 41 turns, it would be an whole Arc on its own
I mean, technically there is an easy way to get to 41 rounds in Vrains without needing more than 2 episodes.

@@FabiTheNoob Mine mirror wouldn't go that far maybe 30 turns at best.

TGS Anime had a series of videos on who was the "best duelist" in various subcategories based on win rate and number of duels they're actually in (with the idea that a good duelist is willing to put their win streak on the line vs a lucky person who won 1 duel and never dueled again)
I also wanted to call out that I appreciate that you took the time to focus on the longer duels in the spinoffs that didn't make the list, though you missed Sevens. I half figured it would make a surprise appearance due to how quick the turns were that maybe one would show up, but I guess not!
I think ELO score has been growing in competitive gaming circles fairly recently. Might be interesting to give that a whirl.
Sevens has most of their longest duels reach like 6 turns, because they make plays really quickly. Rush Duel inherently can fit more actions into a single turn. And consider that if both players use 3 cards in their hand on average per turn that they would deck out by their 12th draw phase, and if they exhaust their hand each turn that would be their 7th.
3:35 it's funny that in Kaiba Battle City rules it is said that burn damage is not allowed but in 5Ds is all the time and I love it! Since I am a sucker for Burn Damage Strats
burn damage is allowed in Battle City, but using cheap cards without cost like Hinotama is prohibited.
@@HonestFarmerLigue1Fan give me an example. Because since what I know. Kaiba only allowed MARIK using them bcz of the God Cards
@@sirwolfy9372 I think it was Direct Damage which wasn't allowed. It always bothered me, that line, anyway. You can program it so that it's almost lifelike, but not to reject Direct Damage cards when players try them out?
@@TheDanishGuyReviews burn damage is the (IN)Direct damage
@@sirwolfy9372 Ectoplasmer was allowed, because both players took turns to send their own monsters to the graveyard.
Ring Of Destruction was allowed, because both you and your opponent lost the same amount of Life Points (unless you activated Ring Of Defense or other card similar to that effect).
Meanwhile Hinotama is costless; therefore, it was prohibited.
One I thought for sure would make it was Yugi vs Marik. I was surprised to realize that the 5 episode duel only lasted 15 turns
3 Turns per episode? We are talking about Dragonball Z pacing here!
@@Safersephiroth777 the final episode only had like a turn and a half in it
@@Safersephiroth777 at least it’s not VRAINS pacing
The game with Noah was so long because of the lifepoints he had. You can make any game last that long if your opponent can't take your lifepoints away. Even Yugi basically had to 1 shot him or he would've never won lol.
A interesting one to do is who says their catchphrase the most lol.
Considering how Weevil always needs to stall for Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth it's not surprising that he shows up here.
I really liked that the duel with Pegasus yugi just using his own cards no having some special ancient card just his own cards and whatever bs he made up
Now I want to know the shortest duels. I know there have been some FTKs throughout the series.
I forget what happened in the anime, but in the manga Joey vs Bonz might have been the longest.
Because of Duelist Kingdom rules, Joey went through every single card in his deck before he drew his out. I believe Bandit Keith said in his duel against Joey, that he saw every card in his deck so he knows how to counter it
I've never seen 5D's, but I love how the win was basically a guy going "Come on. Caaahme aaahn. Ya chicken?" Very fun.
Am I the only person who actually like the Cyber World arc, it gave us some nice backstory for Kaiba, & it has some of the best duels in the first series, like Joey & Yugi vs. the Big 5 & Kaiba & Atem Vs Noah
You're not the only one. I think the only issue people have with it is obviously because it happens right in the middle of the Battle City arc. If it was its own arc that happened post Battle City, I think it would have been much better received and more beloved. But people remember it mainly as the filler arc that existed to create time for the Battle City arc to finish so they could finally wrap up Battle City.
But I love the Virtual World arc. Kaiba gets great development. We learn more about his past. We see some great extra duels with characters who aren't Yugi, Kaiba or Joey (giving sone other characters more of the spotlight). Deck masters were fun breaks from Battle City. The animation was top tier in this arc. Kaiba may not have won against Noah but we see him get closure against Gozaburo instead. It's a great arc that deserved to be it's own separate season post Battle City.
Vrains probably has fewest turns, but I bet it has most summons in a game/turn
Back in February I actually figured out the average length of duels depending on the series these were my results
Original Series: 16
GX: 8
5D's: 8
ZEXAL: 7
ARC-V: 6
VRAINS: 5
no other can even touch duel monsters in duel length
Well as the game gets faster, of course the anime would too
I am not surprised at all that no GX games made this list. Unless it was like a big end of the season duel or a duel against a REALLY important character/villain every duel in that series was basically one episode long.
Most of gx was literally random duels
Could you imagine being a side character just standing there for 41 turns, eesh lol
Love Team Taiyo's duel!! It's actually my 2nd favorite duel in the franchise
Here is a fun idea, top 10 weirdest opponents in duels. Some of my favorites are jinzo in gx, orbital 7 from zexal, and luke dueling himself in sevens
Was really surprised not to see Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz on here cause that duel felt like it lasted a millennium. The wiki says the duel was 29 turns though, so idk if it was just forgotten about or the wiki is wrong but it should be on here too
37 turns for a duel with the players starting with 2000 LP is nuts.
Can you go over ways duels were decided by means other than going to 0 LP? Winning through a specific effect, decking out the opponent, conceding, winning by disqualification, one player cannot physically continue...
And my axe! I will never forget that episode or YGOTAS haha.
Crazy to think that duel lasted for 41 turns! Man, I miss those days! Duels are great now too, they're just different.
I don't think there's such a thing as useless information. The more info you know about something the better you understand it. So videos like this are really fascinating. At least to me
Fun fact: The Paradox Brothers appeared in Yugioh Sevens (remember when Nanaho disguised herself as Romin? Thats where it was)
Here is some suggestions (didn't read the rest of the comments, and I may have missed some past top lists, so I apologize if some of these have already been suggested/already exist).
-Most number of materials/tributes used in a single summon (whether ritual or extra deck).
-Most number of monsters summoned during a single turn.
-Most number of card activations during a duel (including spells, traps and monster effects activated from the field and graveyard)
-Most number of turns passed without one/both duelists attacking.
-Most number of turns where one/both duelists took no damage.
I really loved the grand prix duels, they were so much fun to watch! So many awesome moments
Sorry to be that guy, but you missed 2 duels.
1) Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz was 29 Turns.
2) Yugi vs Atem was 32 Turns (if you count the turns that were skipped due to Turn Jump).
The moment you got on continuous duel I knew noah duel would last the longest
When I used to play, we both were running exodia. we just played our hands on the table since we bother knew each others decks. I finally won with 5 cards left in my deck, his finally piece was 2nd to last. We had a huge crowd watching and they let out a big scream when it finally ended
This isn't really stat related, but it would be fun to hear your personal list of the top 10 most BS duels in the franchise. Like the Team Unicorn example, I can think of many instances where a character definitely should've lost but only pulled through due to plot armor.
I guess I’m mis-remembering how long Yusei, Jack, and Crow vs Goodwin was because I thought it would make the list
I knew it! Duels in the virtual world are super underrated imo, it is my favorite arc of the anime. Wish we got a game based on the master duel rules.
Huh. I'm surprised Everyone vs Zarc wasn't that long. It sure sounded like it was given all the infamy I've heard behind it. But moreover, I'm shocked that that Yugi/Kaiba vs Dartz wasn't on the list. I thought for sure that duel had a lot more turns, it certainly felt long.
That’s because they spend soooo much time talking and depositing
When you mentioned Joey's "set/pass"ing I assumed Joey vs Bones for the top spot since Joey went through near every monster in his deck at the time it seemed
13:43
FUN FACT!!!
EVEN THAT THE NOA ARC WAS MADE TO LET TAKAHASHI BEEN ABLE TO FINISH THE BATTLE CITY ARC!
EVEN WITH THOSE DRAGGED OUT DUELS!
EVEN WITH ALL THOSE DUEL MECHANICS!
EVEN WITH A RECAP EPISODE RIGHT AFTER THE END OF THE ARC!
TAKAHASHI HAVE NOT FINISHED THE YUGI VS MARIK DUEL!
FOR CONTEXT! TAKAHASHI WASN'T EVEN FINISHED THE YUGI VS KAIBA DUEL AT THE TIME OF THE FILLER ARC!
AND I THEORIZE THAT DUE TO THAT! THE ACCLAIMED DUEL OF YUGI VS JOEY WAS NEVER MADE!!! AND THE LAST EPISODE WAS ANOTHER RECAP.
I actually remember the duel between Syrus/Hassleberry and Frost/Thunder! It happened during one of my favorite mini arcs of GX season 2 when Jaden (I use dub names as I'm a dub watcher!) and his friends traveled to Domino City and visited many of the locations of the Battle City duels that happened in Duel Monsters. I really liked this duel as it took place in the exact same spot where Yugi and Kaiba dueled Lumis and Umbra in the sky scraper duel (around episode 70 I believe). One of my favorite duels in Battle City where the stakes were extremely high (quite literally!). I was disappointed with the end result though because unlike the previous duel, no one falls through the building after losing, like Umbra did back in Battle City. But other than that, a really cool duel, paying homage to the original series. Great video, Dylan!
I predicted the Noah duel was gonna be the 41 turn duel you'd pick.
Good choice! I remember watching this duel when it aired on tv and I remember thinking that it was taking forever!
The Syrus Hassleberry tag team duel I remember mainly because monarchs, it’s a tag duel which at least in GX didn’t happen a few times each season, super vehicroid stealth union, and it’s part of the Domino city arc which features another more famous tag duel
Rules to remember in Season 1 of DK
You must summon a monster once per turn or you lose
You can not attack directly
Monsters destroyed by spell or trap effect , half of thier attack points are deducted from your life points
No tributing monsters except Rituals and Fusions
So season has alot of Summon and pass because if you didn't summon a monster you Immediately lose. Also monsters over 2500 ATK points and spell and trap cards was rare, so if an opponent summoned say a BEWD, you most likely didn't have an answer to it and had to set a monster and pass. And because you can't attack directly this was a decent strategy to draw out your deck for a card that can handle it.
How did I miss this when it came out! Great video 🤙🏽
Some of these duels are actually long enough for Goku to prepare a Spirit Bomb against Frieza!
The Paradox brothers and the Dungeon Dice Monsters episodes are my personal favorites.
That kaiba yugi vs Noah duel was nuts and especially the Last turn with yugi drawing everything he needed
Ah yes, the famous _"Heart of the cards..."_
As soon as you said “duels count if one player takes over for another” I knew Noah vs Yugi/Kaiba would be the #1 duel. There’s so many draw/set turns in that duel!
I was sort of surprised that the duel from the first Yu-Gi-Oh! movie wasn’t a thing until I remembered Kaiba had that one virus trap card with the tentacles that made Yugi discard so many cards from his deck
I have a video idea rank every never dub duel in yugioh. also does anyone feel like zarc duel was longer then 20 turns or is that just me. I know it 20 turns but to me it felt longer then that. Still one of my favorite duel.
12:58 That's a really cool transition. How did you do it?
Here's a list that I think would be fun: What are some of the best OTKs that we've seen in the Anime? There can be a number of factors in it, like the emotional weight of the OTK, how earned it felt, how cool was it, was it when the character had their back against the wall, etc.
Related: how many times does a protag (or other non-antagonist main) achieve an OTK?
@@christopherb501 Yuma does it like… all the time. Yugi also did it against Seeker, most of the Xyz Dimension Duelists pulled it off, and I'm sure Jaden did it at least once.
@@dudebladeX Was there a 0TK outside of that duel Saiou had against Prince Satellite?
@@christopherb501 that was ZTK
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
You should make a video on the longest duels of wach series, because there is just dm and 5ds featured here and on the most card played in a single turn
You think this is silly, I never thought about how long some of these duels are. I knew some like Yugi vs. Pegasus went on for eternity, but I didn't know how many of them were like this. Glad you made this video anyways.
Oh my gosh, I remember that Brothers Paradox duel. It felt like it went on forevvvver.
Great video keep up the good work.
The final duel of duel monsters had 29 turns. So it would have taken the number 9 spot. Due to turn Jump, the turn count goes up by 3.
I have a topic that has legitimately been keeping me up at night: What kind of decks do they teach at Communication Duel School? It’s one of the many schools we see advertising in Arc V, but it is really the only one that I just can’t figure out. Every other school has an obvious name, artwork in the advertisement or we actually see the school during that montage of Sora duels. This is just the name of the school with a super simple logo on a little billboard and I just can’t figure out what they teach there. Obviously dueling, but every school has a theme to their lessons except LDS which is basically everything.
Also, I kind of expected that tag duel from GX to be on here. Yes, I remember it, but mostly because our heroes kind of cheat. They take advantage of a monster with a reflective surface so they can see each other’s hands and figure out how to set each other up without talking. It was a fun way to show that despite their rivalry for roll of Jaden’s best friend, they are indeed friends themselves.
4:20 "You got no balls!" Moment.
I CALLED IT!!! I said either Kaiba & Yugi VS Noah or Kaiba & Yugi VS Dartz!!!!
I'd love to see you rank all OTK (One Turn Kill) duels, the shortest of them all
Zarc: *Duel Me* (proceeds to nuke everyone before the duel starts)
Where did the subtitled footage for scenes in the last couple segments (like at 10:29) come from? I've seen poor quality HK-based English subs and the GX-ST subs, but nothing quite like that. Looks like a good translation, is that available?
I'd love to see a Top 10 Best "Draw/No Result" list!
KInda feels wierd having S1 duels when be compared of lenght with rest of yugioh duels, as they are playing completly different game there. But its suprising how many empty turns those had in general
I feel like VRAINS turns were too bloated
How about which elemental attribute being summoned the most (and with that, the least as well)?
I'm really shocked none of the duels in Zexal were more than 12. Some of them lasted for a couple episodes but then again a lot of zexal was reaction shots and mind-numbingly long parts where they would just talk
It is not talk, zexal and vrains duels usually last 2 episodes but vrain have more effect
I need to say that the Duelist Kingdom rules were very wacky but I thought that was only wacky during the different field types that were provided by the arenas BUT NO! TAKAHASHI PUT VERY OTHER LAYERS KF STRATEGY INTO THE FINALS! And I actually like the duels from the castle more than those from the other areas, it's amazing.
Also, is only me or should the "Shadow Realm" or "Dome of Darkness" should let Dark monsters have boost like the Yami Field Spell? Since the duel against Panic didn't have those boosts only Field manipulation? I could be wrong doh
I'm surprised the Yugi/Kaiba versus Dartz duel wasn't mentioned. I know someone in the comments keeps saying it lasted only 16 turns but according to the Yugioh wiki it lasted 29 turns. It's been away since I've watched the duel so I don't know if there is something that happens in it that disqualifies it as one of the longest duels. Like if Dylan counted Yugi/Kaiba vs Dartz as one duel and when Kaiba lost and it was Yugi vs Dartz as a separate duel or something.
I have a suggestion what about top 10 worst duels throughout the yugioh history, top 10 season /arc in yugioh gx, the shortest duels in yugioh?
I haven't watched DM in a quite some time but I specifically remember the paradox brothers duel being painfully long.
Top 10 finish moves in Yugioh.
Like the combo that allows a character to win the duel and turn things around.
well we can just rule out every duel not in duel monsters already because duels had more substance to them and they went far longer back then, episode wise its either yugi vs kaiba 3rd duel or yugi and kaiba vs dartz at 6 episodes. for turn wise its either yugi and kaiba vs noah at 41 turns or if you dont count that yugi vs pegasus 2nd duel at 37 turns, i lean towards the pegasus duel since it was a one on one(kinda lol). i knew all this before i even watched this video.
Ruka Rio(Zexal) Aoi
These three is absolutely adorable
Basically I felt however many "To Be Continued..." duel episodes, the longer stretched it is the more likelihood it'll make it in the list.
Kaiba vs Yugi Round 3, Marik vs Yugi, Joey vs Marik, Dartz vs Kaiba and Yugi...I felt Valon vs Joey was also long too
This is actually a good question and a great video idea!
"Which are the most losingest characters?"
Ah yes my favorite word
now to find out which series has the most duels that don't involve the main protagonist
Wow, that would actually be difficult. Maybe ARC-V?
@@pn2294 i have no idea...
12:00 technically I remember it only for the fact that the two they fought used I think the two monarchs Zaborg and Mobius
I think a cool idea for a video(s) would be best/ worst character voices. You can separate them between dub and sub and for each series.
Team 5ds vs Team Unicorn was a really fun fight, prolly my second favourite in the 5ds series. Sure the ending of the fight was bad, but each turn had an important impact in the final outcome. I still love final yusei vs jack fight.
I honest to God believed Kaiba v Yugi, Battle City, would be top if not high on the list. God was that duel so long.
I kind of understand it though. One thing I like to do in duels is threaten my opponent with the possibility of decking out, making them do rash things to try and end it quicker because I’ve already milled their decks a bit. But in reality deck out isn’t my end game, I just wanna play mind games.
My pick for the longest would have been Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz.
although I did correctly predict that Joey vs Odion would be here since I remember that early in the duel Odion was trying to bait Joey by just passing his turn over and over
I've been wanting to know this question's answer for so long, every time I tried looking it up it was just number of episodes the duel took, and god, that always pissed me off.
Did expect so much dm duels haha. Definitely had changed so much yugioh
Rank the most times a person summoned monsters, this counts by all means: setting,flipping, normal, double, tributing, Special, ritual, Fusion, synchro, xyz, Pend which yes be counting each monster summoned in pendulum summon, and links
