@@YugiohEverything Technically speaking, *Seto Kaiba* made a cameo in Arc-V on the *King's Synchro* Trap Card that *Jack Atlas* played. And Kaiba is hinted to be living in the Standard Dimension since we do see the original KC Duel Disk that he created in the OG series.
I still think is a shame Aki got robbed in 5Ds. Not only was her character forgotten, I can just imagine all the support Rose Dragons would have gotten specially to promote Arc-V. Sure, Rose Dragon became a full archetype, but just imagine a retrain Black Rose Dragon and more synchros and evolutions for Black Rose Dragon.
@@dreamerrdreams7804 Nah, she didn't have it that bad, it just took her 12 YEARS TO GET A SYNCHRO MONSTER?! Jesus fucking Christ, Konami! She was in the synchro anime! For fucks sake!
I would have liked to see Johan in Arc V, him showing Rainbow Overdragon and his pendulum abilities. Hell, imagine an epic Johan vs Zarc with Supreme King Zarc fightning against Rainbow Over Dragon.
If Axel Brodie appeared in Arc-V, I probably would not have to comment about needing New Volcanic Support in the comments... Day 371 of waiting for New Volcanic Support to arrive
From what I've heard from my contact Vector, Kaiba, Zane, Joey, Judai(as the Supreme King), Shark, Yuma, Yusie, and Aki where originally going to be apart of Arc V however Dark Side took a lot of the budget away from Arc V making it so that the team had to make hard choices as to what characters they could afford to have come back. Apparently there was a lot of executive medaling going on behind the scenes for Arc V which caused a lot of the story and plot lines to be forced to change because the higher ups just didnt like it
Shark-King-101 lol the movie just only affected the production schedule of ARC-V only not the choices also there wasn't meddling also the only thing the executives only did that to make sure the director don't ever chose the main characters because it's very risky to make alternative versions of them so he can chose whatever characters he wants except of the main ones (and from here we got shinji which was alternative character from yusei) also most of ARC-V's issues were originally from the main series writer since he was inefficient for ygo since his work on the franchise was only from episode 30 to 65 of ZEXAL and while the director made some mistakes but he even some mistakes on 5Ds he wasn't a great director as most people think but he still isn't a bad one he was just good. The only thing that makes his work on ygo great is having good writers since he don't everything by himself and ARC-V was having the opposite and let's not forget the director was working on symphogear S3 and 4 in most of ARC-V's season 3 run.
There is a reference to Zane being dead in the Fusion/Xyz war, a class studies Zane and his death. So the fusion dimension may have used Zane as a martyr to influence others in their universe to fight for the wrong side. It’s much easier to have people follow a dead person than one who’s alive, because those who are alive might see the error of their ways.
I would’ve liked to see V from Zexal for the following reasons: - Kaito was already there - I absolutely loved V but he didn’t feel as relevant in Zexal as I would’ve liked, this could’ve made up for that - I would’ve loved to see an entire “Dyson” archetype - The show is called Arc-V for fuck’s sake!
I feel Ana from zexal would have been the easiest to add. Hear me out. All gx characters had next to nothing to do with duel spirits, a common theme in gx early on. The bug thing of 5ds was the signer dragons. Well crow would be the best signer without his dragon because of the support. Blackwing have. I know we have starlight but that was a reference to red dragon being Jack's soul. As for zexal the theme was numbers and of all the main characters who could work without numbers, that is only kite given his aces were non numbers. Ana never had a number in the show yet we know her archetype has one now plus all the supports train have now, she would have made the most sense, plus another female role dueling which I dont think too many people would complain about
She def would have been Thomas! Also it seemed like her brother was in the show!? Allen Kozuki (same last name in JP version) who used Trains... Like?? Anna being in the show definitely would have made a lot of sense!
Just going to throw this out there. Kaiba is the leader of the fusion dimension, thus he uses a fusion deck. But Mokuba defected to the synchro dimension and uses a synchro Blue eyes deck with Blue Eyes Spirit Dragon as his ace.
@@YugiohEverything Anything to avoid what they did to Edo. I would have preferred to not have him there too if I had known what they were going to do (or maybe I should say not do) to Edo.
@Yugioh Everything @Raina the main series writer was the cause of his character being bad apparently since he wasn't have much knowledge about the characters also the director might didn't know what to do with him since he never worked on GX and did what he want since it was an alternative character from him afterall
I wish we got another crossover movie called “Bonds Beyond Space” (reference to Bonds Beyond Time) where we get Yugi (NOT Atem), Jaden, Yusei back together but this time they bring in Yuya.
@@Finnjah hell yeah. All Protagonists in one place maybe even dueling with or against each other for a reason or Two would be so amazing. I would love to See the simple personalitys interest as well x3 like i saw in a fanart Yugi and Yuya Jaiden and Yuma Yusei and Yusaku (even they might not talk alot x"3)
My personal wish characters to see in Arc-V are Joey (YGO), Jesse (YGO GX), Aki or Sherry (5ds), Shark (Zexal), Dark Zane (GX). Honestly tho IF we got those 5 from your list Arc-V would have been the best ygo series ever tbh. great choices btw 👌🔥👍
@@YugiohEverything I wouldn't want to see Kaiba to be the main villain because him showing up at the zarc battle would be a lot better I can literally see Kaiba dueling zarc with he's new blue eyes support deck. I would love to see Kaiba pull out a ritual monster against zarc. Blue Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon but we all have our opinions
GOD Just imagine Z-Arc vs Rainbow Dragon His Effects wouldn't work because Rainbow dragon is a main deck monster and he couldn't just crash into either
From what I've heard there where more characters planned to appear in Arc V however because of the movie, Dark side, they had to cut a lot of story ideas and plot lines just to keep the anime alive at that point. Its to bad to, from what I've heard the characters and story lines that they had planned would have turned Arc V from a great show to an amazing show.
@@ianr.navahuber2195 I got the information first hand from a buddy who was a intern at Nihon Ad Systems, they are a production and character merchandise company. I can share the ideas if you want but as for physical proof I cant provide anything
@@ianr.navahuber2195 There where a lot but some of the scrapped characters that where gonna appear in the Anime where Vector, Kaiba, Zane, Joey, Judai(as the Supreme King), Shark, Yuma, Rio, Kotori, Yusie, and Aki. Aki, and Kotori weren't planned to have any duels as far as I know.
Aki could have been cool to see but take away from Yuri who is like a judai Aki combination in thier most darker moments actually doing damage. Aki could have been made more into her manga version where she had friends But overall 5ds did have the best character growth of the whole cast as it's the best ending of the yugioh series for a whole collective of characters seeing everyone follow thier dreams rather than leave it open ended
@@ianr.navahuber2195 well better to make her a tops that got put in common after something happening. A lot of the new synchro cast were not so interesting in arc v and would have been nicer to see some more girls who can duel. Still surprised mieru didn't go as we had little to no girls in the later series actually be good duelist so Aki could have been a good addition to the cast. But arc v had a better cast than vrain on its best cast members like Yuri but lacked a lot in the later seasons. Season 1 was amazing but it fell quick aside the yu boy duels and funny how jack is a better rival than reiji
@@ivanbluecool Mieru was the ritual girl with the prediction princess right?, who Reiji even recurtied yet doesn't actually respond to the Lancers call. At least by keeping her you could keep asuka and have the ritual users actually give Zarc a good battle and at least give the "Ritual summon" method something during arc-v. ALSO, it would have been fu to have Akiza with the ARC-V cast, a very kind woman who has the same type of "explosive" and scary monsters in her deck, as a contrast to Yuya's "cartoonish Performapals tied to the world ender zarc" and jack atlas.
@@ianr.navahuber2195 yeah mieru has a good deck and while she is the fan girl character of the main she was actually well done and helped during the war in season 1. Plus another girl aside Selena could have been good. She can litteraly see he future and they needed every new style so she could have been great to bring along. Adding Aki too you could have the three girls the older one Aki. Middle Selena and Loli meiru with the guy cast that shafted Gon and sawatari. Ritual could have been cool with pendulum. Meiru probably could have been given a pendulum ritual deck where she summons from the extra deck to ritual and scale monsters that give her choices to get a ritual card instead of draw. Also with the yu boys and bracelet girls. I would have liked no mind control and instead Rin or Lulu choose to side with the professor as they want to see his daughter back could have been fun and Yuri only to see more destruction in thier true zarc form. Also yuzu not to become a princess and duel more. Take out Alexis and let yuzu duel more.
@@ivanbluecool ALSO: let the final duel against zarc be either a) yu-boys versus zarc figthning for their collective psyche and b) the bracelet girls fightning against zarc in a "mind-meld" scenario (and either eparate them or at least let them change control like atem and yugi did in duel monsters)
At this point any Yugioh DM character I would wished to appear in arc v even that Idiot weevil I would be happy to see there but I am doing a top 5 anyway 5 akiza 4 shark 3 Joey wheeler 2 Chazz Princeton 1 seto kaiba
I agree with u oresti chazz should have appear but it appears like they replace him for sawatori who is just a rip off of him and the major difference is chazz trash talks but he can backs it up And chazz it UP!
all I really wanted to be added was Joey and Kaiba tbh. Joey as a villain working for Fusion as a spy in XYZ would've been amazing. If Seto came in, I would've wanted to see him replace Sergey's role as an assistant to Roget and then turn on him. Imagine a Jack Atlas Vs Kaiba duel 🤤🤤🤤
And lastly my selection of Zexal characters that I wished appeared in Arc V Zexal Shark - I also agree with you Dylan that I would also like Shark to appear in Arc V. And I also agree with the role he could’ve played an Anti Hero role like Kite did but in a more different way and i’ll try to explain the way I would put him. If we had more Zexal characters in Arc V that would’ve expanded the whole first half of season 3. So I'm seeing Shark coming off as rude and cold like Kite was when he first met Yuya and co. and like him card any and all Academia soldiers and is infamous for taking out their strongest warriors. He could’ve also been friends with Yuto, Shay, and Ruri prior to the invasion but also a rival Yuto and went to the same school as Kite but similar to Kite the war changed him into a ruthless person. Now would he still have his sister Rio with him I would say yes and she could play two parts to his character which I will explain when I get to her. Would he duel Yuya? I would say yes and no cause 1….again explain more in Rio’s part (other reason cause I would love to see this duel animated as it used to be one YGO Epic Duels channel before he deleted it) 2 as you guys remember Yuya doesn’t duel all the legacy characters he’s dueled them all except Asuka. The part where he changes is when he watches Yuya and Shay’s duel against the Tyler sisters and watching Yuya’s Entertainment duel allies himself with him. I would also have him also going with the Lancers and Kite to the Fusion Dimension and whatever role he plays there onwards is left up to “imagination”. Also side note he would be wearing the Barian Emblem necklace just for style either the anime on or the golden one from the manga just throw that out there. Rio - So like I was saying in Shark’s part i’ll explain the role Rio could play if she appeared in Arc V. So backstory she was friends with Yuto, Shay, and Ruri especially Ruri and Sayaka and both still had their parents with them in this universe up until the invasion. Both were with the Resistance, both lost their parents not by car accident but both sacrifice themselves so they can survive. And this is where Rio’s role would be split: 1) They like Kite cut ties with the Resistance and striked out on their own and this is where Rio would take on her Marin (Merag) personality cold as ice vice versa. She would stay by her brother’s side through it all. Eventually they meet Yuya and the Lancers and would mistake them for Academia soldiers. Who would she duel? I would say either Yuya or Shay or maybe even one of the other legacy characters who would be with them if all appeared together. But regardless she would lose to either Shay or Yuya with both trying to offer her and even Shark to come back to the Resistance but Shark would smack it away before she could decide and just leaves with him. But would later show up to help against the Obelisk Force and other Academia soldiers. Now the major part to this is where the sibling Tag Duel against the Tyler Sisters siblings vs siblings i’m sure that would cool to see but unfortunately Grace and Gloria still lose. By the end of it Rio stays behind to help fix their home while her brother goes along with the group to the Fusion Dimension and the rest plays out like normal. 2) Now an alternative is that she stays with the Resistance while Shark strikes out on his own but worries about how her brother has changed. Then she would meet Yuya and the rest they would get along then there on not much would changed until they would encounter Shark again and try to convince him to come back to the Resistance and like Kite but declines and this where something similar happens to the Kite and Shay duel but it will be Rio vs Shark (yeah deja vu). Rio would try throughout the duel to get through to her brother but ultimately fails and ends with her loss. This lost hurted her badly and begged Yuya to bring her brother back. Now this is the part where the possibility of Yuya dueling Shark could happen. Who would win? Yuya, despite the win Shark still refuses to come back but Rio would be inspired by his dueling that he would come back. From here the story plays as normal with Rio being there but events would still play out like how I mentioned in the 1st. Her deck would be much the same with a few new support cards and duels not too many. Dextra (Droite) - So the next two are just gonna be characters who I don’t think will do much but have minor roles and appearances and Dextra is one of them. Role I mostly see her as being the same Dextra who is in love with Kite and worries about him and is happy when he does come back. Really can’t see her dueling unless it's through flashbacks or off-screen. Tron (Vetrix/Byron Arclight) - And here’s another character like Dextra don’t see doing much but just someone else who I would like to see appear in Arc V. Can’t say much about Tron other than being somewhat of a leader to the Resistance and watching over what’s left of his family. Side note I would also want him to have the appearance of a child cause he did much more like that maybe can rework his backstory and explain why and how it happen without elements from Zexal being involved. IV (Quattro/Thomas Arclight) - Now to the more meaningful characters of the Arclight Family IV. I would have to disagree with how you put it Dylan I wouldn’t have him go that insane, though insanity is kinda part of his character when looking at it in Zexal. The way I see it, yes I would also have him growing up with Yuto, Shay, and Ruri all being childhood friends and all. Then the war happened and for a while he fought with the Resistance until a tragic event led him down a path of vengeance which will also play into Trey’s character which I will explain when I get to him. With the war and loss of some of his family caused him to act like in Zexal sadistic, brutal, and vengeful and like you said driven to insanity but not in the ways you put it. The rest of his character I will try to explain in Trey’s but towards the end of the Xyz Dimension arc he would have been back to his old self somewhat and be one of the few who went with Yuya and co. to the Fusion Dimension and the rest plays out normally. Deck and duels I can see him having as many duels as Kite and he would still use Gimmick Puppets but without the Numbers. III (Trey/Michael Arclight) - Now down to the last character that I wished appeared in Arc V. Now I’ll explain parts that I didn’t explain in Quattro’s role. First off Trey like IV was good friends with Yuto, Shun, and Ruri and the….(you know happened). Now I mentioned before a tragic event happened to his family like many people they were hunted by Academia and carded duelist or not the Arclight Family were no different their mother was one of the victims “but” what really hit them hard was when their oldest brother V (Quinton/Christopher "Chris" Arclight) sacrifice himself to save his brothers, one of Academia’s elite (probably a high ranking soldier or a new character that could’ve been introduced or maybe even Barrett) and ends up being carded. This event hit the Arclight family hard especially IV which led down a path vengeance. Both took it pretty hard but both took it differently for Trey though sadden he took it like he sacrificed himself to ensure they both survive while IV took it hard and wanted to avenge his brother. Trey plays a bigger role as he also along with Yuto and Shay went to the Standard Dimension and his character still acts the same nice and gentle but on the inside his hurting from the loss of his family. It was through Yuya that Trey was regaining hope and also joins the Lancers and journeyed with them through the events all the way up to the Xyz Dimension. When getting back he was horrified at how much IV has changed. Through the events he tried to bring him back to his senses though failed to do so he does eventually turn around like Kite did. And he either doesn’t go with the group to the Fusion Dimension and his character arc ends there or he still goes with them alongside IV and Kite and the rest plays out normally. Sike when he gets to Academia along with the others he and IV will run into the guy who sealed their brother away (again either Barrett or another new character) which IV saw as an opportunity to avenge V which he managed to do so. And rest (for real) plays normally. Duels he would have a lot deck still Chronomaly’s. and with that this comes to a close. Whew this one took longer then the rest but glad I stuck through it all
I look at Arc V as Schrödinger's cat of the YGO universe. The different elements, characters and pacing of this series make it simultaneously the best and worst of the anime (at least IMO).
11:26 something interesting about that image with all the rivals is that it specifically show's dark side of dimension's Kaiba which makes me wonder if there was plans to tie Arc with the movie? .........Probably not but given were the movie ended off with the tech Kaiba had and if there ever were a cross over with all the different series it wouldn't surprise me if it was just him checking out other worlds to see how strong there duelist's are.
Carly > Aki still tbh I just want more Carly ;-; As for the whole thing you said about Quattro.. They could have pulled off the same with Kiryu. Maybe have him instead of Sergey somehow... Felt the same about Zane honestly.. was surprised he wasn't in there. And we also got robbed of shark and Kaiba. They should have went all in with the whole crossover thing tbh
3:17 Crow wasn't the final dark signer because that decision was stupid. Having Godwin sip coffee while Crow, a villain which would have no presence at all, fight Yusei, Jack and Aki. Also, Shin Yoshida would just find someone else to replace Aki, and then you would hate that character.
Dumont/Durbe:” Not many duelists would do what you did. Hmmm, I know someone like you. You remind me of him. Behind your wild words and reckless actions I sense true skill.” Shark’s personality, along with his unique style to dueling would have been a very strong addition to representing the xyz dimension at its fullest and its top. I think he could have easily solo’d a the great majority of fusion dimension’s academia at least.
Me: (Seeing Akiza wink to me in the videos thumbnail and how she's one of my many anime crushes, clicks the video regardless) Curse you Dylan, my one weakness: cute pics of YGO waifu's. Dylan: (Smirks with triumph) Your Welcome. See we have fine taste in anime women.
I feel as though the best characters to appear in Arc-V would be the ones who never really got their chance to shine much in their original series. It would've been a great opportunity to flesh characters out who were either robbed of their spotlight or not in one to begin with. And as much as I adore Jack, Kaito, Crow, and Edo they are already such great characters who have had multiple arcs, character growing moments, and important plot related relevance already going for them. I just want someone else to be able to shine, ya know? I guess that's why I was so excited when Asuka was announced to appear in Arc-V, and then subsequently so disappointed to see Arc-V's treatment of her. It would've been sooooo awesome to see her become more of an active and engaging character But yeah I've already gone on long enough-- great list! Aki is an amazing choice I love her she's best girl 10/10
A nice video, as usual! I wanted to share my personal opinion, specially about Aki and IV. My personal understanding about the characters from previous arcs, as they were displayed in arc V is, that they are presented as if they had their lives without the main protagonists of the series ever existed. Jack and Crow never got to become good friends, united by Yusei, and Crow considered Jack as a traitor, who rose from the commons to consider himself a Top. That thing is mind, I consider that the reason we didn't see Aki is, that if Yusei never existed, she would not have changed her personality, overcoming her issues and anger and becoming the person she was. That is why we didn't see her in ArcV (my personal consideration). And as for IV being a crazy bad-ass, carding anyone. I personally do not believe, that it is a really plausible scenario. He would most probably be something like Kito - hungry for vengeance. And that is why he was omitted as a character. Shark would have been a nice addition to the resistance, though.
That's one heck of a wishlist. You know, there's another reality out there where that exact situation happened, and it cemented Arc-V as the best yugioh anime of all time. lol I guess I'll throw in a wishlist of characters myself since I'm here. The only characters I would have begged to see are Akiza (because she's best girl), and Joey and/or Kaiba. Those three would've done a WHOLE lot if they appeared. In fact, if there was a DM arc where we went back to a time when Yugi would've been around, Joey and Kaiba would probably have been the reps. And it would've been awesome.
Here are some non-character things I WISH Arc-V had: Balanced genre; the first half of season 1, THE _FIRST HALF,_ had proper comedy that mends well to the story. Ever since this stupid war came into the picture, the comedy was reduced to only 15% while the other 85% is *dark, depressing, cruel, and many other negative descriptions.* Action Monsters bond; Action Duelling was a unique take because you can interact with your Monsters, I also assumed it works as "Spirit Partners". I was disappointed that the core Dragons got the glory (call me outdated, but Dragon Monsters are overrated). Where's the seasonal Kuriboh? JAM Project; I know this was a minor complaint, but JAM Project only did one ending from GX.
Tbf We had Masaki Endoh in 5ds, which is a member of the JAM Project band, but if the other yugioh shows (zexal, arc v, vrains) had another of the members of jam project it would've been cool. For example another member of Jam Project people forget was Rica Matsumoto (JP Voice actress of Ash/Satoshi) or even the legendary Hironobu Kageyama (singer of most of the openings/endings on DragonBall Z)
My Wish List: 1. Ryo is the no. 1 on my list to appear and no doubt why Nova appeared as a cameo and his name being mentioned. If he died of a heart attack in a century ago then it would give him a reason to appear in spinoffs where he would appear like Atem did in GX from the past. I don't really picture him in Arc V's story unless he were to face Yuya if Yuya somehow accessed some kind of an artifact showcasing all of the previous Academia's duelists and if he were to interact with Ryo, Ryo would be the type not to give into Academia's ideals but teach him that the Entertaining Dueling philosophy isn't as perfect as a way to lecture Yuya to be realistic. Ryo would rather win and that would be it since it would be a reference to him defeating Judai for one duel. I can't believe that the Fusion You Show Duel School didn't honor him if he did die as a way not to be ruled by Academia and use Ryo as a martyr to symbolize their freedom. Even Yuya dueled Kaito and never again after that when it was cancelled. It is understandable why Jack lost twice and won once to Yuya referring to Yusei while Edo draw and lost to Yuya referring to Judai. 2. Fubuki Tenjoin Darkness with the new Red Eyes support which would make sense for him to be Leo's top enforcers until when he is freed, he will seek to avenge his sister upon Yuri carding her. Even him being brainwashed with Zarc's fragments would be a great reference to when he was under Darkness. 3. Kyosuke Kiryu in his Shinigami phase with the new Infernity and Trishula since Trishula has yet to be animated while Infernity's are still on the banlist in need of a new support to make them playable again. I think he would follow straight with his manga counterpart with some from his Dark Signer and Shinigami versions making him the 2nd thing closest to Hell Kaiser Ryo in the Synchro arc. His history with Jack can be one from the manga as Jack sold him out to join the ranks of the Tops allowing Kiryu to settle a grudge against him can also be somewhat identical to when 3 of Team Satisfaction betrayed him due to how insane he was. From the depths of the Commons, Kiryu rose to become resurrected as Shinigami Kiryu topping all of the elite in the underground duels. There should also be a segment where he dueled Ryo and it ended in a draw when he visited the same artifact that traveled him to the past of Academia's history if this were to be the appropriate Ryo vs Kiryu. On the other note, Kiryu would show no interest in joining the Lancers and the Top's conflict with the Commons since all he wants is to beat Jack. He could have been interesting as deconstructed from his 5Ds version where all he wants is to seek atonement for his actions and duel Jack for his final duel before he passes so that Jack can atone for what he did to Kiryu. I wonder how this would fit in the Friendship Cup? Problem is he has to get past Yuya though I doubt he would make it since Yuya has plot armor. Once Academia becomes a threat, he along with Jack and Crow will form Team Satisfaction but with Yuya on their side only on a temporary basis bringing back the 5Ds nostalgia in the Crash Town arc reunion. If he were to have an extended role, he would be defeated by Yuri and brought to Academia where the Doktor infects him with a parasite to make him one of Leo's elite guard. 4. Titan because of providing more Archfiend supports and his character can get one redemption in this show as Leo's elite squadron. 5. Yusuke Fujiwara since like his GX counterpart, he is one of the ones who can seek happiness in the Arc Area Project after his family's death. With some of Zarc's fragments in him can he utilize a persona akin to his Darkness version utilizing Honest in a Lightsworn deck that has yet to be shown instead of relying on Clear. This time he would duel with Fubuki instead against each other. On the other hand Yusuke would be loyal to Academia and view Leo as a father figure with the Honest spirit at his side. If the concept of Dark Honest were to exist, this would make one great addition before the card is printed in the card games. 6. Kaibaman would be better than Kaiba since I feel like Kaiba would overshadow other characters. He would incorporate most of Kaiba's past but in a shadowy way that makes him the polar opposite of Kaiba with some of Noa and Amon's aspects where one is loyal to his father and the other will sacrifice a girl but this time a girl like Kisara to become his card Maiden of Blue Eyes. He like Yuri is Leo's right hand man and the leader of the anti Lancer squadron whose role is to protect Leo consisting of 8 elite Academia soldiers. He would utilize the new Blue Eyes support that Kaiba has in DSOD but with the ones from Shining Victories just to promote DSOD and the new set to give off the DM nostalgia. Like Yuri, he would have an undefeated record wiping out the majority of the Fusion You Show Duel School resistance becoming a huge threat to Kaito and Yugo on their way to rescue Ruri and Rin until reinforcements arrive if Arc V were to have a different scenario. On the other hand people have been dreaming of a Kaiba vs Reiji duel and why not have Kaibaman duel Reiji in Kaiba's stead? Due to the writing of Arc V, I can imagine seeing the duel ending a draw just to stall Kaibaman from guarding Leo. 7. Kagurazuka would no doubt be the redeeming factor from his GX departure in an Arc V setting having a new Dark Magician support up until Dark Illusions and DSOD. Like Kaibaman, he is part of the elite guard unit defending Leo at their service proving how much of a threat against the Lancers. If Yugi or Atem won't make it, he will making him the darker version of the two without a spirit at his side. He can use the Black Magician that Paradox used instead of the updated edition. 8. Brron since someone has yet to play Dark World and him being as one of the XYZ expedition conquest leaders can be a magnificent thing to behold since he was responsible for breaking down Judai in GX. I can't imagine him seeing breaking down Yuya, Yuto, Shun, Kaito, and other Resistance to fear to the point he would repeat what he started in GX. If a character like Brron is created as a human counterpart, go ahead because I would love to see Dark World getting more attention since their new support and if they were to continue the production can allow Dark World to be playable again. 9. Mizar as a reason to have a rematch with Kaito and like Quattro cause destruction of XYZ and Fusion to create casualties becoming a third party faction. 10. Quattro like you mentioned in the video
I think GX and 5Ds both need sequels to be honest. Like Gx could easily expand after season 4, like they can add a few archtype decks that were never in Gx, but where only in TCG format, such as Six Samurai, Lightsworns and Gladiator Beasts. And those archtype decks came out around the time Gx was still airing. GX could expand about for another season or 2, 1 being a high school Reunion and another season could be a gathering of both the Original and Gx cast coming together, but Atem would have to be excluded. A sequel for 5Ds, i wouldn't know how it could work, because all the 5Ds casts end up splitting up and its hard to tell how far their future is, because Aki is a Doctor or Nurse now, Jack still trying to be the top champion and I think Yusei stayed behind Neo Domino City, plus they dont have their Crimson Dragon Marks anymore. Like the only possible sequel for 5Ds would be the return of Divine / Sayer and some how the Crimson Dragon would have to call our crew mates back. And like i said about archtype deck for Gx they could do the same for 5Ds too like the Dragunity, i think the Flamvell is another one too.
my list: GX - Hell Kaiser (obviously), Blair, and Johan/Jesse 5D's - Aki, Leo and Luna (while thinking about it and while typing this maybe just Luna), Sherry, and Kalin Zexal - Shark, Rio, Dextra, Tron/Vetrix (child form), IV, and III/Trey my reasons it'll take me a while to write all of them
Ryou vs Yuya with the shock collars would've been awesome. Imagine Yuya trying to smile and do his Entertainment dueling with those. I think it could've been way cooler than the cage match.
I'm starting with GX there aren't too many but here are the characters that I wished appeared in Arc V GX Hell Kaiser (Zane) - The way I would want him in Arc V I would want him as Edo’s (Aster’s) right hand man and second in command of the leading forces of Academia also his loyal friend. He would make his debut when Edo was in his office after his duel against Yuya. He would appear once again when the attack of the Obelisk Force and are defeated by Kite and that’s where he steps up and duels Kite which would make for a titanic duel which would still result in Kite’s victory. He would still be there when Edo switches sides and would also side with him along with the Tyler sisters. From there I can see his role go to either a bare minimum where he hardly appears, shows up again along with Aster and Shay and play the same role as Aster duels but never wins or could’ve been the contributive factor into helping Yugo wins against Yuri thus expanding the story much longer as I envisioned, or he could’ve went with Yuya, Kite, and the other lancers and played a similar role like Sora might’ve also gave Yuya the backup he needed against Captain Solo. Maybe we might’ve seen him use the new Cyber Dragon upgraded archetype while still using some of the same cards he used in GX perhaps even using their own summoning methods against them like Cyber Dragon Nova and Infinity which would make the duel even more hype. But whichever way it went that would be the role I would want Zane to play if he actually physically appeared in Arc V. Blair - For her I feel like she was only just there to create drama between her, Jaden (Judai), and Alexis (Auska) or practically irrelevant like literally just there. But if she were to be in Arc V I picture her having a similar role Serena (Selena/Celina) had in season 1 coming to the Standard Dimension to hunt down xyz users or to be more precise those from the Xyz Dimension who escape to the Standard Dimension. Like I said she would play a similar role like Serena but when and where she would appear I say either season 1 but much earlier then Serena or in the Xyz Dimension regardless she would try to prove herself at first but then would be told what Academia really is doing and after being convinced sides with the Lancers. As for deck maybe the same, maybe something different have some Fusion monster doesn’t matter. If she were to appear in Arc V if season 1 her role could’ve been expanded as the show progressed or season 3 in the show where her role would’ve been small and just for one arc that’s how I see Blair would be. Johan (Jesse) - Similar to how Dennis started in the beginning of Championship arc y’know how he was initially a entertainment duelist but in actuality he was a spy from Academia. Well Johan I feel like would be similar but not the same if he were to be introduced in Arc V he would still come on as a friendly guy like he was in GX he would still use his Crystal Beast or maybe different kind of Crystal Beast (i’m more or likely thinking something from Steven Universe lol) and still have Rainbow Dragon but his strongest would be Rainbow Over Dragon he would also have the Crystal Pendulums. Like Dennis and sort of like Sora he would also be sent to the Standard Dimension but unlike them he preferred having having fun in duels rather then hurt and card people not to say may have done it before the show started but his time in the Standard Dimension might have changed him and would be more then willing to fight alongside the Lancers against Academia and I could see him forming a strong friendship with Yuya similar how he did with Jaden. And with that those are my ideas to the GX characters that I would've wished to see appear in Arc V if they did. 5D's characters are next
1) I honestly would’ve taken ANY DM series character at this point, even Bandit Keith! That series got the short end of the shtick here. They could’ve had a ritual dimension for them to be in which could give more meat to the story and a chance to have a female Yu- character (which would’ve been the closest we get to a female MC in this franchise)! 2) imagine if one of the characters on this list got pendulum support, that could’ve been so cool. 3) if they had done Quattro they could’ve had an awesome redemption episode for him, maybe even at the hands of Sylvio for once (the poor dude did not have a lot of good times in the spot light). 4) I think the reason why they didn’t do more Zexal characters was because then they would’ve had to include Numbers and if they had they would’ve had to explain how Duel Academy were able to beat the Numbers (who in the anime and manga, both Zexal and Number XX in the Arc V manga, could only be destroyed by other Numbers and CXyz in the anime) and it also meant there was a force as powerful as Zarc in that universe and I don’t think Zarc would’ve allowed that!
Great video, Dylan! For a moment I thought the title said "SEVENS" instead of Arc-V. You pretty much chose the best characters I would choose so my list is pretty similar. But I think Kaiba can't be a villain. I mean, it goes against how his character developed in the original YGO!, right? Maybe Kaiba before being Mind Crushed would work. I love Kaiba, but I would like to see him in the good guys' team to be honest. In my head, Yugi and Kaiba can't be defeated by anyone else. It's probably nostalgia talking but hey xD
Arc V was one of the best yugioh shows in my opinion. Many people looked at this and said: childish hippo card game. To me I say this show was criminally underrated.
It definitely had the most ambitious story any Yugioh has ever had IMO, took a lot of risks which I respect. The duel quality was really great too, minus the action cards xD
I think they should’ve added shark/nash that technically would’ve made the trio without the the protagonist which is what they did with the syncro characters and it would’ve made so much sense
2:05 agreed. also, as a bonus, Akiza was basically an X-Men Character in Yu-Gi-Oh 2:25 WELL in general the GX representatives got the shaft the most out of EVERYONE.they really got the shortest end of the stick. Sure Edo/Aster and Asuka/Alexis got nice support but apart of that .... yeah... 2:53 it would have been "appropiate" and ironic that akiza had been the one to appear in ARC-V instead of Crow. I mean, he took her role of importance in 5D's (and even if he had stayed a vilain as original plans he would have probably had been given a redemption arc and still made him a spotlight stealer). So she appearig instead of Crow wpuld have felt fair. ALSO it would have meant we would have had at leas 1 FEMALE fightning Zarc at the end (not counting ray)
tbh, I'd love to have seen Orbital 7. He has a deck, he never used numbers and I think it would have fit well, sort of a way to help explain the family thing. Bc we didn't get anything about that in Arc V, hell just a scene where we see Orbital 7 in heartland trying to protect Kaito and then Orbital 7 gets destroyed would make it so we get a better explanation for Kaito's actions, because all the other legacy characters got flashbacks/decent explanations (Or in Crow's case no effort for that was needed as it's practically the same as 5d's) and Kaito's is that his family was carded and yet after Zarc we never see any of his family? This is why I think at least having Orbital 7 in the show would have made some sense
If Zane Truesdale(Hell Kaiser) had been placed in yu gi oh arc v, he would probably have been one of the most feared and dangerous characters of all dimensions even from the same merging dimension. A character who would participate in the invasion of the xyz dimension (who would then have him learn xyz summoning and add Cyberdragon nova and Cyberdragon infinity to his deck) and who would then decide to go his own way (fighting for himself) by facing and by turning into cards, anyone who had the courage to go against him would probably have understood the crimes of Leo akaba and would have passed by Yuya's side to fight Leo himself. One thing that would have been incredible was that if Zane had dueled Zarc, I would probably have considered him one of the few characters from all of the yu gi oh who could have defeated him thanks to his extremely aggressive summoning methods. Respect for Zane, one of the strongest anti-heroes ever.💥✊
I’d have loved to have seen a slightly older, battle scarred version of Syrus Truesdale. That probably sounds odd I know, but hear me out here... Ever since I watched the video on the ‘’Why Zane Truesdale is dead in Yugioh Arc V Theory’’ it clicked with me that he could’ve been perfect for the Fusion war dynamic. Perhaps further empathising that war has hurt a lot of good people on both sides. I’ve always thought that a vengeful Syrus who witnessed the demise of his brother at the hands of Kite or even better Yuto would have been great. I imagine that while he’d been grieving the loss of his brother he might have even been visited by Leo Akaba and convinced to rejoin the war effort to avenge his fallen brothers death. I mean just imagine him getting mad every time he saw one of Yuto’s counterparts, also Syrus vs Yugo (Roids vs Speedroids)... now THAT would have been a cool duel to see. To give a clear idea I’m picturing a GX season 4 looking Syrus, but more battle hardened, with his glasses cracked on one side and a scar across one eye... I imagine he’d have been tirelessly hunting and carding duellists from the XYZ dimension in an attempt to bait Yuto/Kite out after what they did, so he’d look very worn down. It could show flashbacks of a sort of friendship between him and Yuri as a nice callback to his relationship with Jaden in GX. I imagine Alexis would probably mention how ‘’he used to be such a sweet kid before what happened to his brother’’ at some point as well. Perhaps he’d be dawning the same or a similar duel blazer to the one we saw Dark Zane wearing in GX after his fall from grace in the pro leagues. I know Syrus isn’t the most popular character in the Yugioh Anime, but I think this could’ve been a cool dynamic that they could have added into Arc V. Feel free to let me know what your thoughts and opinions of this idea and I’ve you’d like to have seen it too. Have a great day everyone! ✌️
I think aki would have fit very well teaching Yuya about power or things about responsibilities so he could go on. Like how Aki learned from Yusei because Yuya definitely needed it
I would like to see : Joey , seto , Zane , Luna and Leo (Adult), shark, but you know seto and shark... and ofc main characters , if main characters would be in Arc-V , Z-arc would lose more faster
5. Chazz Princeton. I know Zane would have been better, but Chazz has been shafted in the personality department. Plus the Ojamas would be perfect comic relief alongside Yuya’s dancing Hippos. 4. Raphael. I know he was a minor antagonist, but he beated freaking Psycho Atem. What else can I say? 3. Joey Wheeler. He is the first of the true best friend. Plus, Red Eyes Black Dragon hasn’t really been seen since GX. 2. Jesse Anderson. Rainbow Dragon. Enough said. 1. Kaiba. I agree Kaiba probably should have been there.
Here’s my list of characters I wanted for arc v: 1: Mizar, my reason being that he could’ve had a good connection with kite due to also being a galaxy eyes master, also another galaxy eyes would be cool, like a galaxy eyes heatdeath dragon. 2. Shark since he usually had that fighting spirit it would be cool if he was a memb or the resistance. Either that or he, like he did in zexal, betray’s his friends for new ones, that being fusion. Either way a new none number version of shark drake or any other shark would be cool. Joey Wheeler: this guy is definitely one I really want, but he’s too kind hearted for duel academy so I wanted him to go the same way as alexis. Also if he’s rocking more red eyes he could have had a good fight again yuri. Zane: I’ve always said that if yugioh wanted a gx representative, they should’ve picked zane. Alexis was robbed of character development too which is a bigger reason why they should’ve taken zane instead cus he has more personality behind him than alexis. It would be cool if he was also a commander like aster but then sees the light when yuya shoves smile world down his throat like usual. Akiza: Basically everything said in video but the fact that there was a possibility for new black rose dragons. Leo and Luna (5Ds) : these kids would’ve been cool if he went to the friendship cup on a duel board and if they got new ancient and power tool combo’s. Leo could’ve also been friends with yugo since yugo had no character besides hating yuri and loving rin. Seto and Mokuba: Same reason for seto as in video and he could’ve had more character development if our boy moki was there. Think of it. Instead of Leo existing at all, a man known as the president (as said in vid) runs academy. Mokuba travels dimensions to find yuya before the whole zarc thing to tell him that seto is losing control and is corrupt by power after bringing kaiba corp to the new multiverse (he was there when the stuff split) and he plans Toledo it by conquering everything dimension. Mokuba with an actual deck (preferably blue eyes) joins the lancers in their adventures and as they get to the academy Seto tells them about zarc and ending the yuboys is the only way to get rid of the only person capable of contesting his power. He then solo’s every lancer until Riley, Declan, Yuya and Mokuba remain. They almost beat him but yuri comes out of nowhere and finishes him off before blowing everyone but yuya away. They duel and the story proceeds as cannon, except with no epilogue
It would've been nice to see Aki, but I prefer it like this. And no it's not because I love Crow. If we look at the "era" in which lancers landed, she would've been in her unstable phase which might have been a little complicated to deal with. Also congrats on 66k!
True! An unstable Aki could have caused problems for them. But maybe that's why all three of them could have coexisted in that universe! And thank you!! 2/3 of the way there! xD
@@YugiohEverything I'm with you, Dylan. Alternate Universe Unstable Aki without Yusei around could have been an interesting idea for an anti-hero. A more menacing evolution to Black Rose Dragon and would have been cool evolution to the darker half of the monster's duality. I still prefer the story told by and character growth seen in the original 5D's but it'd be cool to see an alternate take at Aki where she's a powerhouse with an attitude.
Chazz. Chazz would have been a crazy character to have in the fusion dimension. I don't think he would use Ojamas though because I would think he would be even more unhinged and more like Hell Kaiser Zane. Maybe he would use an Xyz machine and Armored dragon hybrid style deck
I'd love to see him as a rival general to Edo/Aster. Also, we needed more characters to stay by Academia's side. Manjoume/Chazz could act like he did in season 1 of GX, but a little more professional.
Manjoume Thunder/The Chazz Instead of Asuka who didn't do anything, I'd love to see Manjoume as a fusion general and be Edo's rival. He could even stay by Academia's side only to betray Yuri so he would be the most powerful academian. Yuri would then defeat Manjoume and card him. Also, imagine seeing all academians cheering for Manjoume in the XYZ arc while Manjoume defeats Yuya and says that he is the best entermate duelist. Would've been amazing. I'd love to see Manjoume and Edo as rival commanders in ARC-V. Imagine their bickering. Would've been hilarious to see. Alit/Alito You may be wondering: Why not Shark? Or anyone else? Are you biased towards Alit? No. I just think he would be very useful to the plot in the XYZ arc. We could see a battle hungry Alit as a Resistance commander, imagine Alit and Shun interacting. Would be awesome. We could even get a flashback of him beating Sora, which led him to hate XYZ users. Also, we could have a Alit VS Edo duel, which would be amazing and the only legacy character VS legacy character duel as far as I remember, resulting in Edo getting the win, establishing him as the better general and building up his duel with Yuya.
Despite the backlash Arc-V got later in its run, I still rewatch the series today. For its flaws, there's many to love: return of all summon mechanics, Pendulum summon (they're cool IMO. They get to much hate nowadays and deserve a second chance in MR5), Reiji, Shun, the Yu boys, legacy characters, No Gil Bo animated episodes, return of old archetypes, Sora vs Shun, Yuya vs Yuri. When it got certain parts right, Arc V was an awesome YGO show. The ending was bad yes and could've been better, but I still like the series. Plus, the Zarc duel was a guilty pleasure of mine. It did try something different by having not just one person beat the final boss and showed more variety in the duel. Granted I would've loved just Reiji and Leo duel Zarc until Ray finishes him. That be better wouldn't it? So many missed opportunities. So much potential that wasn't utilised. Even Leo could've been great with better writing and more duels. He was built up well before hand anyway.
And here are my 5D's characters I wished appeared in Arc V 5D’s Aki (Akiza) - Akiza in my mind has to be one of the main wants and wished to have appeared in Arc V. Her backstory like Jack and Crow wouldn’t be all that different from her 5D’s counterpart similar life but slightly different. Akiza’s life would have a different turn she would have used to live with the Tops but when she discovered her psychic abilities which then got out of hand either ran away from home in fear of hurting them or anyone else and been living alone ever since or was thrown/cast aside by them because of her psychic abilities and has been vengeful and resentful ever since in the Commons spreading pain and destruction in anyway she can. An idea I had where it was when Yuya and co. were staying at Crow’s place still hiding from security then hear about a female duelist having powers to make duels more harmful (ik typical psychic powers). Yuya and the others would check it out but at the same time still keep a low profile. They would then witness her duel against some random opponent and she’s how she duels and were all horrified by the way she duels and Yuya being the way he is challenges her to show her the true way of dueling and vice versa. Now this where two outcomes can happen: Either he loses and gets severely hurt from her but while they were dueling Yuzu and Yugo would also get word of the duel and this would lead Yuzu and Yuya reunited much earlier being worried about his condition that would drift the story in all new direction but at some point duel again but they get a better understanding of each other. In their rematch Aki’s powers goes out of control but Yuya saves her showing her a sign of friendship blah blah blah and helps her open up and and smile their duel results in Yuya’s victory but gain not only a new friend but also a new ally for their upcoming battles against Academia. Or their first can go like any other last two episodes Yuya’s Entertainment duel leaves an impact on her and she changes for the better regardless she would still become a friend and help along the way like Crow has as one of the Lancers. Her deck would still consist of Plant type monsters and burn damage and like Jack and Crow she could have a new ace monster or have a dragon with a similar appearance to Black Rose Dragon. And that’s it for her. Leo & Luna (Rua/Lua & Luca/Ruka/Luka/Ruca) - This one was a bit tricky I say both of them but in all honesty I would just pick Luna. But first let me talk about the twins I can’t say much about how both of them would fit other than befriending Yuya and co. and acting like the big brother figure that they look up to. Now if I have to pick just one of them I pick Luna. So for Luna well after doing some research I think I would want her to take on her manga counterpart persona reserve and lonely until one day crosses paths with Yuya probably when he, Celina, Sawatari, and Reira arrive in the Synchro Dimension and started frequently following them until finally being noticed by Yuya or Reira with the latter taking her in to stay with Crow and the kids he watches. Luna and Reira would get along fine since both of them are quiet and don’t talk very much at first but start to open up to others due Yuya’s influence and being more self-aware. She would still look up to Yuya as a big brother and as her hero similar to how she sees Leo as her hero. But her role in the second season would be to a small extent cause I don’t see her doing much. In terms of dueling I don’t see her dueling much but her deck I don’t think she would have a dragon with a similar appearance to Ancient Fairy Dragon but more like Crow, a new deck with a new ace. And with that she’s done. Sherry - Sherry for her first we’ll dial her down a bit too probably 16 or 17. Now if she would appear in Arc V she would have a flirtatious side but at the same time a serious side to her. How Sherry would be introduced and her purpose and reason for appearing, well did some quick thinking and I would have Sherry appear at the Facility for some reason she would then witness Yuya’s duel with Chojiro and be intruge by his way of dueling and him. Now here’s where I would do something different with the story before the day (or night) of the exhibition match of the Friendship Cup there would be a sort of get together party for all the contestants competing Yuya would have brief interactions with the Lancers, even to Yugo face to face for the first time with getting teleported away by Yuzu’s bracelet, and even Yuzu reunited much earlier have a back to back chat then eventually meeting Sherry and would shown to have a little infatuation (sort of like Grace has if you want to look at it that way) with her even blowing him a kiss which angers a jealous Yuzu creating mini love triangle (lol). Sherry would also be in the Friendship Cup getting passed the first round, the second round I can see her either dueling Yuya or Yuzu. If Yuzu she would lose but also teases her about her feelings for Yuya which would spark a rivalry between the two for Yuya’s affections. If Yuya she still lose but kept using her French accent and charm to woo him and slightly throw him off a little but was still impacted on how his dueltaining was. And at the end of it gives him a kiss (not on the lips) which both awes the crowd and infuriates Yuzu. Deck well as I recall she uses a Warrior type deck so not different. Sherry I more or less feel like she would just be there to create drama between Yuya and Yuzu. Kalin (Kiryu) - The Death God himself, every legacy character needs a past badass to return and that’s our boy Kiryu. After looking into his background and personality in both the anime and manga I think Kalin should have a combination of both but I'm leaning more to the manga. Now how would he be introduced well I would have him be seen during the first duel between Shay and Dennis...well not there but as one of the contestants in the Friendship Cup where he witness Shay’s underground duels and sees him as someone who can satisfy him y’know the usual satisfaction term. So as much as I wished for Kalin to have more worth appearing appearances I can only see him as being a one-off character who only appears in a few episodes. Kalin would duel Shay in the first round due to how I mentioned more characters, both would be impressed with each other's skills but Kalin’s handless combo still pushes Shay. By the end Shay wins but Kalin would be satisfied because he dueled a worthy opponent. Deck well like other legacy characters some have a combination of their old cards and new ones he would still use Infernities and his ace would be a dragon based off of either the anime (Hundred-Eye Dragon or Infernity Doom Dragon) or manga (Void Ogre Dragon).
I agree Ryo would have been MUCH better than Edo... Imagine watching Edo's character in GX: he starts by trouncing Ryo (who was undefeated in a legitimate duel with no blackmail at this point), toyed with Judai the entire time then beat him so badly he lost his passion for dueling (which he was infamous for having) because he could no longer see his cards. I could stop there because this alone cements him as one of the best GX characters, but on top of this he beat the D (world champion at the time) and the broken D-Hero Plasma, which in turn helped him conquer his demons and made the arc of him searching for his father's killer and the final D card come full circle. Then his character goes downhill when he loses to Saiou; after the Judai-Johan duel in S3, he doesn't appear again until Johan duels Ryo, then once everyone gets absorbed into the next portal we don't see him again until Judai becomes the Supreme King. After that, he loses to Amon, and then Manjoume. At this point you think Edo's treatment couldn't actually get any worse, then we see his Arc-V iteration who doesn't win a single duel. TL;DR just when you think GX Edo got thrown to the wayside as went on, Arc-V Edo comes along and starts worse than he ended in GX.
I think they choose aster over chazz or even zane because they wanted a hero user but who isn't Jaden Zane presumely die before arc V really start For me zane is the sephiroth(final fantasy7 reference) of yugioh All his lost are due to plot I mean zane is too badass He is not jack atlas He is not a king *He is the emperor* Look in gx When you think of the best duelist of gx Zane truesdale(Ryo marufuji) i'm sure of that I think chazz was replace by sawatori The difference chazz trash talk but he can back it up

And also for seto kaiba they had to change plot because of DSOD And also it would have been cool Seeing seto using the synchros and the tuners and a match vs jack atlas
Agree completely. As much as Edo is my favorite, I don't understand why they put an alternate dimension version of him in Arc-V if they were just going to make it even worse than when he became thrown to the side in GX. Arc-V could have been a sort of chance to make up for the eventual shit treatment he got in GX, but they blew it. The GX manga sort of makes a good apology, but the only problem was that Aster was introduced far too late. Season 2 of GX was Edo's true time to shine and it ended there, sadly. His role in 3 was minimal and 4 was a joke with him not even being the cenral focus of the only two episodes he was in. I guess by then, they thought he didn't even deserve an episode arc to himself. And all those episodes with Sartorius and even Sarina making an appearance and they can't even be bothered to remember their best friend. Guess Edo/Aster was useless to Saio since he wasn't a savior with special powers to control the Gentle Darkness. They don't show how he fell to Trueman or even at the graduation for a visit. And yet they kept showing Edo in the opening theme for season 4 as if he was an important character in it... Zane could have been really entertaining with going all-out Hell Kaiser and ruthless on the battlefield in Arc-V. And what about his newer cyber dragon stuff and even Xyz cards? They could have come up with some interesting storyline behind how he got those despite being from Fusion dimension.
@@raina1848 i agree edo character development briefly ends in season 2 His lost against chazz in season 4 was chazz character development And yeah i think zane should have appear in arc V but then they got internal issues in the plot and organisation and they said we will only make a reference nothing more ARC-V was actually a chance to have dream matches and in a way to not spoil the real characters legacy And in a way to canonise the characters New supports cards I like how jack and crow were well treated For me i saw crow absolutely identical to his 5ds counter part But in the end they maked mostly every legend characters appear weak to yuya's version Even kite tenjo had a tough moment
I'd have liked that at the end of Season 1 right before all the lancer's teleport to the Synchro-Dimension Reiji tells them that he sent someone he considers a close friend ahead of them and it would turn out that its good old Joey Wheeler. Mostly because I really felt like Reiji really needed someone that completely believed in him (besides Riley) & would actually gives him constructive criticism (That possibly involved punching him) on how to actually lead the lancers. Plus Red-Eyes was getting more support around that time so it could have worked. The only problem is that the Synchro-Dimension arc was really bloated as is, so either Joey would have to replace someone like Shinji or Chojiro for it to work, or just have him leave to the Xyzs-Dimension before the tournament.
I like your list but I definitely would've wanted Rio to show up and be ally to Shun. Also, Noah could've been an amazing boss and Zane would've been a better GX win for Yuri.
5 Characters I would like to see in Arc-V is: -Aki Izayoi/Akiza Izinski -Ryo Marifuji/Hell Kaiser/Zane Truesdale -Fubuki Tenjoin/Atticus Rhode -Dextra/Droite -Nistro/Gauche And an add a bonus, I want to see Anna Kaboom in Arc-V as well
I feel like with regards to a second Zexal character in Arc-V, we got half a character out of Kozuki Allen and Sasayama Sayaka. Allen was a call-back to Kozuki Anna and Sayaka was a call-back to Kotori Mizuki. Because they were cheap references, I feel like together they only count as half a character, kind of like the 5 Yushou students that Yuri fights later that are references to Marufuji Shou, Hayato Maeda, and Manjoume Jun. It is almost like getting an extra character, but only through their deck references and none of the actual substance that would come with the name.
Technically speaking, *Seto Kaiba* made cameo in *Arc-V* on the *King's Synchro* Trap Card that Jack Atlas played. And Kaiba is hinted to be living in the Standard Dimension since we do see the original KC Duel Disk that he created in the OG series.
For me it would’ve been nice to see 5.IV 4.Rebecca 3.Ryo (GX) 2.Shark 1.Aki(I love Black Rose Dragon) But great list as always Dylan and I hope everyone has an amazing day
@@YugiohEverything It's just we really didn't see a lot from her and her duels were interesting plus she's a genius so like she could've liked hacked into Academy or something she's just someone who I thought had a lot of potential and we really didn't get to see it
For the sake of argument, in defense of having Shark, Arc-V's writers could have done similar as the writers for the Zexal manga, who kept Shark as human; or even just used the manga as the basis for all the Arc-V worlds being very different from the canon worlds we know. As someone who hates with a passion for everything was thrown away for the poor excuse of making Yuya the real big bad, I feel like things might have been slightly better if they had done something like that. But that's just my opinion.
I would have loved to have seen Seto Kaiba, Rio, and Akiza in Arc V. My pick for a Zexal character who be Dextra who would work with Kite and be a part of the Resistance in Heartland.
FUN FACT in jump force none of the yu gi oh extension were in the game but it would have been funny to see Quattro VS mista (from jojo bizarre aventure ) bc Quattro litteraly mean 4 lol 😂😂😂
I actually saw a really interesting theory on how Yuya is the embodiment of Yugi, Yuri is the embodiment of Judai, Yugo is the embodiment of Yusei and Yuto is the embodiment of Yuma - and the theory goes that Ray had a hand in bringing the previous Yu-Gi-Oh! characters back but used the previous protagonists to form with Zarc to calm Zarc down, which is why it kind of backfired with Yuri as the Supreme King from GX overpowered Judai and took control over most of Yuri which is why Yuri owns Super Polymerization. Ray brought back Jack, Crow, Kite etc to challenge Zarc if by any chance Zarc was to overpower the souls of the protagonists within the four Yu boys.
I would have loved to see Pegasus simply because the entire "carding concept" is from his character.
OMG. Pegasus would have been amazing
That would make a lot more sense to me as well

I still think is a shame Aki got robbed in 5Ds. Not only was her character forgotten, I can just imagine all the support Rose Dragons would have gotten specially to promote Arc-V. Sure, Rose Dragon became a full archetype, but just imagine a retrain Black Rose Dragon and more synchros and evolutions for Black Rose Dragon.

If Axel Brodie appeared in Arc-V, I probably would not have to comment about needing New Volcanic Support in the comments...
Day 371 of waiting for New Volcanic Support to arrive
Actually you still might have because Arc-V ended about 365 days ago xD
Volcanics got the blaze accelerater trap during the arc 5 era
@Mister Perfection You need to chill out.
Lol
@Mister Perfection ua-cam.com/video/qXZp9NGdUq0/v-deo.html
My personal picks would have been Zane, Vector, Kaiba just for the potential massive ham that would ensue
Vector is a great choice!
From what I've heard from my contact Vector, Kaiba, Zane, Joey, Judai(as the Supreme King), Shark, Yuma, Yusie, and Aki where originally going to be apart of Arc V however Dark Side took a lot of the budget away from Arc V making it so that the team had to make hard choices as to what characters they could afford to have come back. Apparently there was a lot of executive medaling going on behind the scenes for Arc V which caused a lot of the story and plot lines to be forced to change because the higher ups just didnt like it
Vector,IV, Yuri and Sora would be awesome
Shark-King-101 lol the movie just only affected the production schedule of ARC-V only not the choices also there wasn't meddling also the only thing the executives only did that to make sure the director don't ever chose the main characters because it's very risky to make alternative versions of them so he can chose whatever characters he wants except of the main ones (and from here we got shinji which was alternative character from yusei) also most of ARC-V's issues were originally from the main series writer since he was inefficient for ygo since his work on the franchise was only from episode 30 to 65 of ZEXAL and while the director made some mistakes but he even some mistakes on 5Ds he wasn't a great director as most people think but he still isn't a bad one he was just good. The only thing that makes his work on ygo great is having good writers since he don't everything by himself and ARC-V was having the opposite and let's not forget the director was working on symphogear S3 and 4 in most of ARC-V's season 3 run.
@@sharkmessiah1018 Interesting. What would the plot involving Judai? If you don't mind me asking.
I wish we saw a duel between Jack Atlas and Zane.
Ohhhh yeah
Or even a seto vs jack
Damm productions
HELL YES
Same here
I'd have liked to see Zane, Joey, Shark, Akiza, and Jesse in Arc V. We could have seen Joey use the new Red-Eyes cards that were being released.
There is a reference to Zane being dead in the Fusion/Xyz war, a class studies Zane and his death. So the fusion dimension may have used Zane as a martyr to influence others in their universe to fight for the wrong side. It’s much easier to have people follow a dead person than one who’s alive, because those who are alive might see the error of their ways.
Same
I would’ve liked to see V from Zexal for the following reasons:
- Kaito was already there
- I absolutely loved V but he didn’t feel as relevant in Zexal as I would’ve liked, this could’ve made up for that
- I would’ve loved to see an entire “Dyson” archetype
- The show is called Arc-V for fuck’s sake!
Yeah V is also another really good choice, definitely would be on my top 5 if I listed off solely from Zexal
IV
Shark
Vector
And then maybe V!
And Kaito will be the one who finish him off
Yugioh Everything they can’t add villains
Deathmare
why not?
@@Deathmare235 None of these characters stayed villains, i mean aster/edo and kaito were villains when they were introduced in gx/zexal too
I feel Ana from zexal would have been the easiest to add. Hear me out. All gx characters had next to nothing to do with duel spirits, a common theme in gx early on. The bug thing of 5ds was the signer dragons. Well crow would be the best signer without his dragon because of the support. Blackwing have. I know we have starlight but that was a reference to red dragon being Jack's soul. As for zexal the theme was numbers and of all the main characters who could work without numbers, that is only kite given his aces were non numbers. Ana never had a number in the show yet we know her archetype has one now plus all the supports train have now, she would have made the most sense, plus another female role dueling which I dont think too many people would complain about
She def would have been Thomas! Also it seemed like her brother was in the show!? Allen Kozuki (same last name in JP version) who used Trains... Like?? Anna being in the show definitely would have made a lot of sense!
Personally:
1. Seto Kaiba
2. Any of the Arclight brothers
3. Johan
4. Aki
5. A Barian Emperor
Just going to throw this out there. Kaiba is the leader of the fusion dimension, thus he uses a fusion deck. But Mokuba defected to the synchro dimension and uses a synchro Blue eyes deck with Blue Eyes Spirit Dragon as his ace.

Lol, joking, though 😜
xD xD I liked both of them, but you gotta admit man... Edo was written horribly in Arc-V :/
Atticus would've loved for him to come bqck
@@YugiohEverything Yeah I think he started well by then kinda got thrown aside. Maybe they could have introduced him earlier
@@YugiohEverything Anything to avoid what they did to Edo. I would have preferred to not have him there too if I had known what they were going to do (or maybe I should say not do) to Edo.
@Yugioh Everything @Raina the main series writer was the cause of his character being bad apparently since he wasn't have much knowledge about the characters also the director might didn't know what to do with him since he never worked on GX and did what he want since it was an alternative character from him afterall
I wish we got another crossover movie called “Bonds Beyond Space” (reference to Bonds Beyond Time) where we get Yugi (NOT Atem), Jaden, Yusei back together but this time they bring in Yuya.

No

My personal wish characters to see in Arc-V are Joey (YGO), Jesse (YGO GX), Aki or Sherry (5ds), Shark (Zexal), Dark Zane (GX).
Honestly tho IF we got those 5 from your list Arc-V would have been the best ygo series ever tbh. great choices btw 👌🔥👍
You too dude, Great picks man!!
@@YugiohEverything I wouldn't want to see Kaiba to be the main villain because him showing up at the zarc battle would be a lot better I can literally see Kaiba dueling zarc with he's new blue eyes support deck. I would love to see Kaiba pull out a ritual monster against zarc. Blue Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon but we all have our opinions
GOD Just imagine Z-Arc vs Rainbow Dragon His Effects wouldn't work because Rainbow dragon is a main deck monster and he couldn't just crash into either
From what I've heard there where more characters planned to appear in Arc V however because of the movie, Dark side, they had to cut a lot of story ideas and plot lines just to keep the anime alive at that point. Its to bad to, from what I've heard the characters and story lines that they had planned would have turned Arc V from a great show to an amazing show.
Do you have a link to see the scrapped ideas?
@@ianr.navahuber2195 I got the information first hand from a buddy who was a intern at Nihon Ad Systems, they are a production and character merchandise company. I can share the ideas if you want but as for physical proof I cant provide anything
@@sharkmessiah1018 yeah, please spoil me and share me all the ideas ARC-V scrapped.
Shark-King-101 please
@@ianr.navahuber2195 There where a lot but some of the scrapped characters that where gonna appear in the Anime where Vector, Kaiba, Zane, Joey, Judai(as the Supreme King), Shark, Yuma, Rio, Kotori, Yusie, and Aki. Aki, and Kotori weren't planned to have any duels as far as I know.
I wanted all the arclight brothers in ArcV. Trey, Quinton and Quattro!!
Aki could have been cool to see but take away from Yuri who is like a judai Aki combination in thier most darker moments actually doing damage. Aki could have been made more into her manga version where she had friends
But overall 5ds did have the best character growth of the whole cast as it's the best ending of the yugioh series for a whole collective of characters seeing everyone follow thier dreams rather than leave it open ended
that or make Akiza the opposite of Jack in ARC-V: A Top who became a Common supporter and tried to achieve coexistence between all groups.
@@ianr.navahuber2195 well better to make her a tops that got put in common after something happening. A lot of the new synchro cast were not so interesting in arc v and would have been nicer to see some more girls who can duel. Still surprised mieru didn't go as we had little to no girls in the later series actually be good duelist so Aki could have been a good addition to the cast.
But arc v had a better cast than vrain on its best cast members like Yuri but lacked a lot in the later seasons. Season 1 was amazing but it fell quick aside the yu boy duels and funny how jack is a better rival than reiji
@@ivanbluecool Mieru was the ritual girl with the prediction princess right?, who Reiji even recurtied yet doesn't actually respond to the Lancers call.
At least by keeping her you could keep asuka and have the ritual users actually give Zarc a good battle and at least give the "Ritual summon" method something during arc-v.
ALSO, it would have been fu to have Akiza with the ARC-V cast, a very kind woman who has the same type of "explosive" and scary monsters in her deck, as a contrast to Yuya's "cartoonish Performapals tied to the world ender zarc" and jack atlas.
@@ianr.navahuber2195 yeah mieru has a good deck and while she is the fan girl character of the main she was actually well done and helped during the war in season 1. Plus another girl aside Selena could have been good. She can litteraly see he future and they needed every new style so she could have been great to bring along.
Adding Aki too you could have the three girls the older one Aki. Middle Selena and Loli meiru with the guy cast that shafted Gon and sawatari.
Ritual could have been cool with pendulum. Meiru probably could have been given a pendulum ritual deck where she summons from the extra deck to ritual and scale monsters that give her choices to get a ritual card instead of draw.
Also with the yu boys and bracelet girls. I would have liked no mind control and instead Rin or Lulu choose to side with the professor as they want to see his daughter back could have been fun and Yuri only to see more destruction in thier true zarc form. Also yuzu not to become a princess and duel more. Take out Alexis and let yuzu duel more.
@@ivanbluecool ALSO: let the final duel against zarc be either a) yu-boys versus zarc figthning for their collective psyche and b) the bracelet girls fightning against zarc in a "mind-meld" scenario
(and either eparate them or at least let them change control like atem and yugi did in duel monsters)
At this point any Yugioh DM character I would wished to appear in arc v even that Idiot weevil I would be happy to see there but I am doing a top 5 anyway
5 akiza
4 shark
3 Joey wheeler
2 Chazz Princeton
1 seto kaiba
Yeah a DM cameo would have been incredible!
@@YugiohEverything I know right but we got nothing expect some dm cards like legendary fisherman
Mabye we could have seen a classic kiaba vs Joey?
because DM was a terrible show
I agree with u oresti chazz should have appear but it appears like they replace him for sawatori who is just a rip off of him and the major difference is chazz trash talks but he can backs it up
And chazz it UP!
all I really wanted to be added was Joey and Kaiba tbh. Joey as a villain working for Fusion as a spy in XYZ would've been amazing.
If Seto came in, I would've wanted to see him replace Sergey's role as an assistant to Roget and then turn on him. Imagine a Jack Atlas Vs Kaiba duel 🤤🤤🤤
Kaiba should've been the final antagonist
And lastly my selection of Zexal characters that I wished appeared in Arc V
Zexal
Shark - I also agree with you Dylan that I would also like Shark to appear in Arc V. And I also agree with the role he could’ve played an Anti Hero role like Kite did but in a more different way and i’ll try to explain the way I would put him. If we had more Zexal characters in Arc V that would’ve expanded the whole first half of season 3. So I'm seeing Shark coming off as rude and cold like Kite was when he first met Yuya and co. and like him card any and all Academia soldiers and is infamous for taking out their strongest warriors. He could’ve also been friends with Yuto, Shay, and Ruri prior to the invasion but also a rival Yuto and went to the same school as Kite but similar to Kite the war changed him into a ruthless person. Now would he still have his sister Rio with him I would say yes and she could play two parts to his character which I will explain when I get to her. Would he duel Yuya? I would say yes and no cause 1….again explain more in Rio’s part (other reason cause I would love to see this duel animated as it used to be one YGO Epic Duels channel before he deleted it) 2 as you guys remember Yuya doesn’t duel all the legacy characters he’s dueled them all except Asuka. The part where he changes is when he watches Yuya and Shay’s duel against the Tyler sisters and watching Yuya’s Entertainment duel allies himself with him. I would also have him also going with the Lancers and Kite to the Fusion Dimension and whatever role he plays there onwards is left up to “imagination”. Also side note he would be wearing the Barian Emblem necklace just for style either the anime on or the golden one from the manga just throw that out there.
Rio - So like I was saying in Shark’s part i’ll explain the role Rio could play if she appeared in Arc V. So backstory she was friends with Yuto, Shay, and Ruri especially Ruri and Sayaka and both still had their parents with them in this universe up until the invasion. Both were with the Resistance, both lost their parents not by car accident but both sacrifice themselves so they can survive. And this is where Rio’s role would be split:
1) They like Kite cut ties with the Resistance and striked out on their own and this is where Rio would take on her Marin (Merag) personality cold as ice vice versa. She would stay by her brother’s side through it all. Eventually they meet Yuya and the Lancers and would mistake them for Academia soldiers. Who would she duel? I would say either Yuya or Shay or maybe even one of the other legacy characters who would be with them if all appeared together. But regardless she would lose to either Shay or Yuya with both trying to offer her and even Shark to come back to the Resistance but Shark would smack it away before she could decide and just leaves with him. But would later show up to help against the Obelisk Force and other Academia soldiers. Now the major part to this is where the sibling Tag Duel against the Tyler Sisters siblings vs siblings i’m sure that would cool to see but unfortunately Grace and Gloria still lose. By the end of it Rio stays behind to help fix their home while her brother goes along with the group to the Fusion Dimension and the rest plays out like normal.
2) Now an alternative is that she stays with the Resistance while Shark strikes out on his own but worries about how her brother has changed. Then she would meet Yuya and the rest they would get along then there on not much would changed until they would encounter Shark again and try to convince him to come back to the Resistance and like Kite but declines and this where something similar happens to the Kite and Shay duel but it will be Rio vs Shark (yeah deja vu). Rio would try throughout the duel to get through to her brother but ultimately fails and ends with her loss. This lost hurted her badly and begged Yuya to bring her brother back. Now this is the part where the possibility of Yuya dueling Shark could happen. Who would win? Yuya, despite the win Shark still refuses to come back but Rio would be inspired by his dueling that he would come back. From here the story plays as normal with Rio being there but events would still play out like how I mentioned in the 1st. Her deck would be much the same with a few new support cards and duels not too many.
Dextra (Droite) - So the next two are just gonna be characters who I don’t think will do much but have minor roles and appearances and Dextra is one of them. Role I mostly see her as being the same Dextra who is in love with Kite and worries about him and is happy when he does come back. Really can’t see her dueling unless it's through flashbacks or off-screen.
Tron (Vetrix/Byron Arclight) - And here’s another character like Dextra don’t see doing much but just someone else who I would like to see appear in Arc V. Can’t say much about Tron other than being somewhat of a leader to the Resistance and watching over what’s left of his family.
Side note I would also want him to have the appearance of a child cause he did much more like that maybe can rework his backstory and explain why and how it happen without elements from Zexal being involved.
IV (Quattro/Thomas Arclight) - Now to the more meaningful characters of the Arclight Family IV. I would have to disagree with how you put it Dylan I wouldn’t have him go that insane, though insanity is kinda part of his character when looking at it in Zexal. The way I see it, yes I would also have him growing up with Yuto, Shay, and Ruri all being childhood friends and all. Then the war happened and for a while he fought with the Resistance until a tragic event led him down a path of vengeance which will also play into Trey’s character which I will explain when I get to him. With the war and loss of some of his family caused him to act like in Zexal sadistic, brutal, and vengeful and like you said driven to insanity but not in the ways you put it. The rest of his character I will try to explain in Trey’s but towards the end of the Xyz Dimension arc he would have been back to his old self somewhat and be one of the few who went with Yuya and co. to the Fusion Dimension and the rest plays out normally. Deck and duels I can see him having as many duels as Kite and he would still use Gimmick Puppets but without the Numbers.
III (Trey/Michael Arclight) - Now down to the last character that I wished appeared in Arc V. Now I’ll explain parts that I didn’t explain in Quattro’s role. First off Trey like IV was good friends with Yuto, Shun, and Ruri and the….(you know happened). Now I mentioned before a tragic event happened to his family like many people they were hunted by Academia and carded duelist or not the Arclight Family were no different their mother was one of the victims “but” what really hit them hard was when their oldest brother V (Quinton/Christopher "Chris" Arclight) sacrifice himself to save his brothers, one of Academia’s elite (probably a high ranking soldier or a new character that could’ve been introduced or maybe even Barrett) and ends up being carded. This event hit the Arclight family hard especially IV which led down a path vengeance. Both took it pretty hard but both took it differently for Trey though sadden he took it like he sacrificed himself to ensure they both survive while IV took it hard and wanted to avenge his brother. Trey plays a bigger role as he also along with Yuto and Shay went to the Standard Dimension and his character still acts the same nice and gentle but on the inside his hurting from the loss of his family. It was through Yuya that Trey was regaining hope and also joins the Lancers and journeyed with them through the events all the way up to the Xyz Dimension. When getting back he was horrified at how much IV has changed. Through the events he tried to bring him back to his senses though failed to do so he does eventually turn around like Kite did. And he either doesn’t go with the group to the Fusion Dimension and his character arc ends there or he still goes with them alongside IV and Kite and the rest plays out normally. Sike when he gets to Academia along with the others he and IV will run into the guy who sealed their brother away (again either Barrett or another new character) which IV saw as an opportunity to avenge V which he managed to do so. And rest (for real) plays normally. Duels he would have a lot deck still Chronomaly’s.
and with that this comes to a close. Whew this one took longer then the rest but glad I stuck through it all
Can you make my homework?
7:30 Huh...IV reminds me of Lelouch in that picture xD
xD Some of the stills of him are so unsettling xD
I look at Arc V as Schrödinger's cat of the YGO universe. The different elements, characters and pacing of this series make it simultaneously the best and worst of the anime (at least IMO).
I wish we saw Joey in Arc-V. He could've played a different Warrior deck or a Red Eyes deck!
Yeah and all the new red cards and a new jinzo
What if Akiza and Quattro in this version were thier first "versions" The Black rose and Tron's follower. Imagine a battle between them.
11:26 something interesting about that image with all the rivals is that it specifically show's dark side of dimension's Kaiba which makes me wonder if there was plans to tie Arc with the movie? .........Probably not but given were the movie ended off with the tech Kaiba had and if there ever were a cross over with all the different series it wouldn't surprise me if it was just him checking out other worlds to see how strong there duelist's are.
Love Aki! After watching different timeline videos I can get more of an understanding in Arc V.
No Order:
5) Aki
4) Mokuba
3) Shark
2) Kaiba
1) Zane
Carly > Aki still tbh
I just want more Carly ;-;
As for the whole thing you said about Quattro.. They could have pulled off the same with Kiryu.
Maybe have him instead of Sergey somehow...
Felt the same about Zane honestly.. was surprised he wasn't in there.
And we also got robbed of shark and Kaiba.
They should have went all in with the whole crossover thing tbh
3:17 Crow wasn't the final dark signer because that decision was stupid. Having Godwin sip coffee while Crow, a villain which would have no presence at all, fight Yusei, Jack and Aki. Also, Shin Yoshida would just find someone else to replace Aki, and then you would hate that character.
Dumont/Durbe:” Not many duelists would do what you did. Hmmm, I know someone like you. You remind me of him. Behind your wild words and reckless actions I sense true skill.” Shark’s personality, along with his unique style to dueling would have been a very strong addition to representing the xyz dimension at its fullest and its top. I think he could have easily solo’d a the great majority of fusion dimension’s academia at least.
Me: (Seeing Akiza wink to me in the videos thumbnail and how she's one of my many anime crushes, clicks the video regardless) Curse you Dylan, my one weakness: cute pics of YGO waifu's.
Dylan: (Smirks with triumph) Your Welcome. See we have fine taste in anime women.
xD xD xD

I see your a guy with culture 😁
She is my weakness too you know because she is my role model☺️
I feel as though the best characters to appear in Arc-V would be the ones who never really got their chance to shine much in their original series. It would've been a great opportunity to flesh characters out who were either robbed of their spotlight or not in one to begin with. And as much as I adore Jack, Kaito, Crow, and Edo they are already such great characters who have had multiple arcs, character growing moments, and important plot related relevance already going for them. I just want someone else to be able to shine, ya know?
I guess that's why I was so excited when Asuka was announced to appear in Arc-V, and then subsequently so disappointed to see Arc-V's treatment of her. It would've been sooooo awesome to see her become more of an active and engaging character
But yeah I've already gone on long enough-- great list! Aki is an amazing choice I love her she's best girl 10/10
A nice video, as usual! I wanted to share my personal opinion, specially about Aki and IV. My personal understanding about the characters from previous arcs, as they were displayed in arc V is, that they are presented as if they had their lives without the main protagonists of the series ever existed. Jack and Crow never got to become good friends, united by Yusei, and Crow considered Jack as a traitor, who rose from the commons to consider himself a Top. That thing is mind, I consider that the reason we didn't see Aki is, that if Yusei never existed, she would not have changed her personality, overcoming her issues and anger and becoming the person she was. That is why we didn't see her in ArcV (my personal consideration). And as for IV being a crazy bad-ass, carding anyone. I personally do not believe, that it is a really plausible scenario. He would most probably be something like Kito - hungry for vengeance. And that is why he was omitted as a character. Shark would have been a nice addition to the resistance, though.
"75% of them would tell you that Aki is their fav girl"
Nah fam, Aki is my fav Yu-Gi-Oh character period (tied with Yuto)
The fact that shark is not in arc v is a freaking crime at least tell us that he fell trying to protect heartland city
Divine exists in the Arc-V canon, so just imagine how it would be if Aki was there, too
I’m happy to see Jack, Crow, and Kite. The best one is Kite because he is the Strongest.
That's one heck of a wishlist. You know, there's another reality out there where that exact situation happened, and it cemented Arc-V as the best yugioh anime of all time. lol I guess I'll throw in a wishlist of characters myself since I'm here. The only characters I would have begged to see are Akiza (because she's best girl), and Joey and/or Kaiba. Those three would've done a WHOLE lot if they appeared. In fact, if there was a DM arc where we went back to a time when Yugi would've been around, Joey and Kaiba would probably have been the reps. And it would've been awesome.
Here are some non-character things I WISH Arc-V had:
Balanced genre; the first half of season 1, THE _FIRST HALF,_ had proper comedy that mends well to the story. Ever since this stupid war came into the picture, the comedy was reduced to only 15% while the other 85% is *dark, depressing, cruel, and many other negative descriptions.*
Action Monsters bond; Action Duelling was a unique take because you can interact with your Monsters, I also assumed it works as "Spirit Partners". I was disappointed that the core Dragons got the glory (call me outdated, but Dragon Monsters are overrated). Where's the seasonal Kuriboh?
JAM Project; I know this was a minor complaint, but JAM Project only did one ending from GX.
Tbf We had Masaki Endoh in 5ds, which is a member of the JAM Project band, but if the other yugioh shows (zexal, arc v, vrains) had another of the members of jam project it would've been cool.
For example another member of Jam Project people forget was Rica Matsumoto (JP Voice actress of Ash/Satoshi) or even the legendary Hironobu Kageyama (singer of most of the openings/endings on DragonBall Z)
Hironobu Kageyama should sing on Yu-Gi-Oh!
Your wish is my command in my Fanfic and I am so with you☺️✊️
My Wish List:
1. Ryo is the no. 1 on my list to appear and no doubt why Nova appeared as a cameo and his name being mentioned. If he died of a heart attack in a century ago then it would give him a reason to appear in spinoffs where he would appear like Atem did in GX from the past. I don't really picture him in Arc V's story unless he were to face Yuya if Yuya somehow accessed some kind of an artifact showcasing all of the previous Academia's duelists and if he were to interact with Ryo, Ryo would be the type not to give into Academia's ideals but teach him that the Entertaining Dueling philosophy isn't as perfect as a way to lecture Yuya to be realistic. Ryo would rather win and that would be it since it would be a reference to him defeating Judai for one duel. I can't believe that the Fusion You Show Duel School didn't honor him if he did die as a way not to be ruled by Academia and use Ryo as a martyr to symbolize their freedom. Even Yuya dueled Kaito and never again after that when it was cancelled. It is understandable why Jack lost twice and won once to Yuya referring to Yusei while Edo draw and lost to Yuya referring to Judai.
2. Fubuki Tenjoin Darkness with the new Red Eyes support which would make sense for him to be Leo's top enforcers until when he is freed, he will seek to avenge his sister upon Yuri carding her. Even him being brainwashed with Zarc's fragments would be a great reference to when he was under Darkness.
3. Kyosuke Kiryu in his Shinigami phase with the new Infernity and Trishula since Trishula has yet to be animated while Infernity's are still on the banlist in need of a new support to make them playable again. I think he would follow straight with his manga counterpart with some from his Dark Signer and Shinigami versions making him the 2nd thing closest to Hell Kaiser Ryo in the Synchro arc. His history with Jack can be one from the manga as Jack sold him out to join the ranks of the Tops allowing Kiryu to settle a grudge against him can also be somewhat identical to when 3 of Team Satisfaction betrayed him due to how insane he was. From the depths of the Commons, Kiryu rose to become resurrected as Shinigami Kiryu topping all of the elite in the underground duels. There should also be a segment where he dueled Ryo and it ended in a draw when he visited the same artifact that traveled him to the past of Academia's history if this were to be the appropriate Ryo vs Kiryu. On the other note, Kiryu would show no interest in joining the Lancers and the Top's conflict with the Commons since all he wants is to beat Jack. He could have been interesting as deconstructed from his 5Ds version where all he wants is to seek atonement for his actions and duel Jack for his final duel before he passes so that Jack can atone for what he did to Kiryu. I wonder how this would fit in the Friendship Cup? Problem is he has to get past Yuya though I doubt he would make it since Yuya has plot armor. Once Academia becomes a threat, he along with Jack and Crow will form Team Satisfaction but with Yuya on their side only on a temporary basis bringing back the 5Ds nostalgia in the Crash Town arc reunion. If he were to have an extended role, he would be defeated by Yuri and brought to Academia where the Doktor infects him with a parasite to make him one of Leo's elite guard.
4. Titan because of providing more Archfiend supports and his character can get one redemption in this show as Leo's elite squadron.
5. Yusuke Fujiwara since like his GX counterpart, he is one of the ones who can seek happiness in the Arc Area Project after his family's death. With some of Zarc's fragments in him can he utilize a persona akin to his Darkness version utilizing Honest in a Lightsworn deck that has yet to be shown instead of relying on Clear. This time he would duel with Fubuki instead against each other. On the other hand Yusuke would be loyal to Academia and view Leo as a father figure with the Honest spirit at his side. If the concept of Dark Honest were to exist, this would make one great addition before the card is printed in the card games.
6. Kaibaman would be better than Kaiba since I feel like Kaiba would overshadow other characters. He would incorporate most of Kaiba's past but in a shadowy way that makes him the polar opposite of Kaiba with some of Noa and Amon's aspects where one is loyal to his father and the other will sacrifice a girl but this time a girl like Kisara to become his card Maiden of Blue Eyes. He like Yuri is Leo's right hand man and the leader of the anti Lancer squadron whose role is to protect Leo consisting of 8 elite Academia soldiers. He would utilize the new Blue Eyes support that Kaiba has in DSOD but with the ones from Shining Victories just to promote DSOD and the new set to give off the DM nostalgia. Like Yuri, he would have an undefeated record wiping out the majority of the Fusion You Show Duel School resistance becoming a huge threat to Kaito and Yugo on their way to rescue Ruri and Rin until reinforcements arrive if Arc V were to have a different scenario. On the other hand people have been dreaming of a Kaiba vs Reiji duel and why not have Kaibaman duel Reiji in Kaiba's stead? Due to the writing of Arc V, I can imagine seeing the duel ending a draw just to stall Kaibaman from guarding Leo.
7. Kagurazuka would no doubt be the redeeming factor from his GX departure in an Arc V setting having a new Dark Magician support up until Dark Illusions and DSOD. Like Kaibaman, he is part of the elite guard unit defending Leo at their service proving how much of a threat against the Lancers. If Yugi or Atem won't make it, he will making him the darker version of the two without a spirit at his side. He can use the Black Magician that Paradox used instead of the updated edition.
8. Brron since someone has yet to play Dark World and him being as one of the XYZ expedition conquest leaders can be a magnificent thing to behold since he was responsible for breaking down Judai in GX. I can't imagine him seeing breaking down Yuya, Yuto, Shun, Kaito, and other Resistance to fear to the point he would repeat what he started in GX. If a character like Brron is created as a human counterpart, go ahead because I would love to see Dark World getting more attention since their new support and if they were to continue the production can allow Dark World to be playable again.
9. Mizar as a reason to have a rematch with Kaito and like Quattro cause destruction of XYZ and Fusion to create casualties becoming a third party faction.
10. Quattro like you mentioned in the video
I think GX and 5Ds both need sequels to be honest. Like Gx could easily expand after season 4, like they can add a few archtype decks that were never in Gx, but where only in TCG format, such as Six Samurai, Lightsworns and Gladiator Beasts. And those archtype decks came out around the time Gx was still airing. GX could expand about for another season or 2, 1 being a high school Reunion and another season could be a gathering of both the Original and Gx cast coming together, but Atem would have to be excluded.
A sequel for 5Ds, i wouldn't know how it could work, because all the 5Ds casts end up splitting up and its hard to tell how far their future is, because Aki is a Doctor or Nurse now, Jack still trying to be the top champion and I think Yusei stayed behind Neo Domino City, plus they dont have their Crimson Dragon Marks anymore. Like the only possible sequel for 5Ds would be the return of Divine / Sayer and some how the Crimson Dragon would have to call our crew mates back. And like i said about archtype deck for Gx they could do the same for 5Ds too like the Dragunity, i think the Flamvell is another one too.
5. Akiza
4. Any Zexal Character
3. Pegasus
2. Zane
1. Kaiba
My list: 5.Any character(Duel Monsters)
4. Akiza(5D's)
3.Shark/ or any of the Barians Emperors(Zexal)
2. Jesse (GX)
1. Carly(5D's)
my list:
GX - Hell Kaiser (obviously), Blair, and Johan/Jesse
5D's - Aki, Leo and Luna (while thinking about it and while typing this maybe just Luna), Sherry, and Kalin
Zexal - Shark, Rio, Dextra, Tron/Vetrix (child form), IV, and III/Trey
my reasons it'll take me a while to write all of them
Zane or Chazz definitely would have been very high on my list. And, also, amazing song choice at the end.
Ryou vs Yuya with the shock collars would've been awesome. Imagine Yuya trying to smile and do his Entertainment dueling with those. I think it could've been way cooler than the cage match.
I'm starting with GX there aren't too many but here are the characters that I wished appeared in Arc V
GX
Hell Kaiser (Zane) - The way I would want him in Arc V I would want him as Edo’s (Aster’s) right hand man and second in command of the leading forces of Academia also his loyal friend. He would make his debut when Edo was in his office after his duel against Yuya. He would appear once again when the attack of the Obelisk Force and are defeated by Kite and that’s where he steps up and duels Kite which would make for a titanic duel which would still result in Kite’s victory. He would still be there when Edo switches sides and would also side with him along with the Tyler sisters. From there I can see his role go to either a bare minimum where he hardly appears, shows up again along with Aster and Shay and play the same role as Aster duels but never wins or could’ve been the contributive factor into helping Yugo wins against Yuri thus expanding the story much longer as I envisioned, or he could’ve went with Yuya, Kite, and the other lancers and played a similar role like Sora might’ve also gave Yuya the backup he needed against Captain Solo. Maybe we might’ve seen him use the new Cyber Dragon upgraded archetype while still using some of the same cards he used in GX perhaps even using their own summoning methods against them like Cyber Dragon Nova and Infinity which would make the duel even more hype. But whichever way it went that would be the role I would want Zane to play if he actually physically appeared in Arc V.
Blair - For her I feel like she was only just there to create drama between her, Jaden (Judai), and Alexis (Auska) or practically irrelevant like literally just there. But if she were to be in Arc V I picture her having a similar role Serena (Selena/Celina) had in season 1 coming to the Standard Dimension to hunt down xyz users or to be more precise those from the Xyz Dimension who escape to the Standard Dimension. Like I said she would play a similar role like Serena but when and where she would appear I say either season 1 but much earlier then Serena or in the Xyz Dimension regardless she would try to prove herself at first but then would be told what Academia really is doing and after being convinced sides with the Lancers. As for deck maybe the same, maybe something different have some Fusion monster doesn’t matter. If she were to appear in Arc V if season 1 her role could’ve been expanded as the show progressed or season 3 in the show where her role would’ve been small and just for one arc that’s how I see Blair would be.
Johan (Jesse) - Similar to how Dennis started in the beginning of Championship arc y’know how he was initially a entertainment duelist but in actuality he was a spy from Academia. Well Johan I feel like would be similar but not the same if he were to be introduced in Arc V he would still come on as a friendly guy like he was in GX he would still use his Crystal Beast or maybe different kind of Crystal Beast (i’m more or likely thinking something from Steven Universe lol) and still have Rainbow Dragon but his strongest would be Rainbow Over Dragon he would also have the Crystal Pendulums. Like Dennis and sort of like Sora he would also be sent to the Standard Dimension but unlike them he preferred having having fun in duels rather then hurt and card people not to say may have done it before the show started but his time in the Standard Dimension might have changed him and would be more then willing to fight alongside the Lancers against Academia and I could see him forming a strong friendship with Yuya similar how he did with Jaden.
And with that those are my ideas to the GX characters that I would've wished to see appear in Arc V if they did. 5D's characters are next
Finally someone like me who wanted Blair in Arc-V and Jesse
Thank you so much❤😍
@@inesatt1313 your welcome
1) I honestly would’ve taken ANY DM series character at this point, even Bandit Keith! That series got the short end of the shtick here. They could’ve had a ritual dimension for them to be in which could give more meat to the story and a chance to have a female Yu- character (which would’ve been the closest we get to a female MC in this franchise)!
2) imagine if one of the characters on this list got pendulum support, that could’ve been so cool.
3) if they had done Quattro they could’ve had an awesome redemption episode for him, maybe even at the hands of Sylvio for once (the poor dude did not have a lot of good times in the spot light).
4) I think the reason why they didn’t do more Zexal characters was because then they would’ve had to include Numbers and if they had they would’ve had to explain how Duel Academy were able to beat the Numbers (who in the anime and manga, both Zexal and Number XX in the Arc V manga, could only be destroyed by other Numbers and CXyz in the anime) and it also meant there was a force as powerful as Zarc in that universe and I don’t think Zarc would’ve allowed that!
He used the Numeron code to change the past this is why the past characters have changed and due differently
I know that protags can't get shown but I wold love to see there Kaiba, Aki(like you) and normally Zane.
And a Easter egg. Rex Godwin's immortal monster was a bird maby cause crow was first thought asdark signer boss.
My list :
Seto Kaiba
Jaden Yuki
Aki Izaiyo
Shark
Yuma
Honestly I can’t complain much about Ark v cast for one reason and that is Jack Atles (my favorite character in the entirety of YGO)
Great video, Dylan! For a moment I thought the title said "SEVENS" instead of Arc-V.
You pretty much chose the best characters I would choose so my list is pretty similar.
But I think Kaiba can't be a villain. I mean, it goes against how his character developed in the original YGO!, right? Maybe Kaiba before being Mind Crushed would work. I love Kaiba, but I would like to see him in the good guys' team to be honest. In my head, Yugi and Kaiba can't be defeated by anyone else. It's probably nostalgia talking but hey xD
I would have wanted see mizael team up with kaito to take on academia
Or you can say mizzare and kite in the dub
Arc V was one of the best yugioh shows in my opinion.
Many people looked at this and said: childish hippo card game.
To me I say this show was criminally underrated.
It definitely had the most ambitious story any Yugioh has ever had IMO, took a lot of risks which I respect. The duel quality was really great too, minus the action cards xD
@@YugiohEverything i also liked the art direction.
I think they should’ve added shark/nash that technically would’ve made the trio without the the protagonist which is what they did with the syncro characters and it would’ve made so much sense
2:05 agreed. also, as a bonus, Akiza was basically an X-Men Character in Yu-Gi-Oh
2:25 WELL in general the GX representatives got the shaft the most out of EVERYONE.they really got the shortest end of the stick. Sure Edo/Aster and Asuka/Alexis got nice support but apart of that .... yeah...
2:53 it would have been "appropiate" and ironic that akiza had been the one to appear in ARC-V instead of Crow. I mean, he took her role of importance in 5D's (and even if he had stayed a vilain as original plans he would have probably had been given a redemption arc and still made him a spotlight stealer). So she appearig instead of Crow wpuld have felt fair. ALSO it would have meant we would have had at leas 1 FEMALE fightning Zarc at the end (not counting ray)
@ULGROTHA oNO WHO? WHOSE HIS WAIFU?
tbh, I'd love to have seen Orbital 7. He has a deck, he never used numbers and I think it would have fit well, sort of a way to help explain the family thing. Bc we didn't get anything about that in Arc V, hell just a scene where we see Orbital 7 in heartland trying to protect Kaito and then Orbital 7 gets destroyed would make it so we get a better explanation for Kaito's actions, because all the other legacy characters got flashbacks/decent explanations (Or in Crow's case no effort for that was needed as it's practically the same as 5d's) and Kaito's is that his family was carded and yet after Zarc we never see any of his family? This is why I think at least having Orbital 7 in the show would have made some sense
If Zane Truesdale(Hell Kaiser) had been placed in yu gi oh arc v, he would probably have been one of the most feared and dangerous characters of all dimensions even from the same merging dimension. A character who would participate in the invasion of the xyz dimension (who would then have him learn xyz summoning and add Cyberdragon nova and Cyberdragon infinity to his deck) and who would then decide to go his own way (fighting for himself) by facing and by turning into cards, anyone who had the courage to go against him would probably have understood the crimes of Leo akaba and would have passed by Yuya's side to fight Leo himself. One thing that would have been incredible was that if Zane had dueled Zarc, I would probably have considered him one of the few characters from all of the yu gi oh who could have defeated him thanks to his extremely aggressive summoning methods. Respect for Zane, one of the strongest anti-heroes ever.💥✊
I’d have loved to have seen a slightly older, battle scarred version of Syrus Truesdale. That probably sounds odd I know, but hear me out here...
Ever since I watched the video on the ‘’Why Zane Truesdale is dead in Yugioh Arc V Theory’’ it clicked with me that he could’ve been perfect for the Fusion war dynamic. Perhaps further empathising that war has hurt a lot of good people on both sides.
I’ve always thought that a vengeful Syrus who witnessed the demise of his brother at the hands of Kite or even better Yuto would have been great. I imagine that while he’d been grieving the loss of his brother he might have even been visited by Leo Akaba and convinced to rejoin the war effort to avenge his fallen brothers death. I mean just imagine him getting mad every time he saw one of Yuto’s counterparts, also Syrus vs Yugo (Roids vs Speedroids)... now THAT would have been a cool duel to see.
To give a clear idea I’m picturing a GX season 4 looking Syrus, but more battle hardened, with his glasses cracked on one side and a scar across one eye... I imagine he’d have been tirelessly hunting and carding duellists from the XYZ dimension in an attempt to bait Yuto/Kite out after what they did, so he’d look very worn down. It could show flashbacks of a sort of friendship between him and Yuri as a nice callback to his relationship with Jaden in GX. I imagine Alexis would probably mention how ‘’he used to be such a sweet kid before what happened to his brother’’ at some point as well.
Perhaps he’d be dawning the same or a similar duel blazer to the one we saw Dark Zane wearing in GX after his fall from grace in the pro leagues.
I know Syrus isn’t the most popular character in the Yugioh Anime, but I think this could’ve been a cool dynamic that they could have added into Arc V.
Feel free to let me know what your thoughts and opinions of this idea and I’ve you’d like to have seen it too.
Have a great day everyone! ✌️
I thought the show was fine but it just felt weird that none of the characters from Yugioh DM appeared.
I think aki would have fit very well teaching Yuya about power or things about responsibilities so he could go on. Like how Aki learned from Yusei because Yuya definitely needed it
I mean would getting other legacy characters save them from horrible writing? I think not. They would be also trashed.
I would like to see : Joey , seto , Zane , Luna and Leo (Adult), shark, but you know seto and shark... and ofc main characters , if main characters would be in Arc-V , Z-arc would lose more faster
Seto Kaiba or priest Seto?
5. Chazz Princeton. I know Zane would have been better, but Chazz has been shafted in the personality department. Plus the Ojamas would be perfect comic relief alongside Yuya’s dancing Hippos. 4. Raphael. I know he was a minor antagonist, but he beated freaking Psycho Atem. What else can I say? 3. Joey Wheeler. He is the first of the true best friend. Plus, Red Eyes Black Dragon hasn’t really been seen since GX. 2. Jesse Anderson. Rainbow Dragon. Enough said. 1. Kaiba. I agree Kaiba probably should have been there.
Sadly Chazz has been shafted in every possible department. I hope one day we get to see him again.
Here’s my list of characters I wanted for arc v: 1: Mizar, my reason being that he could’ve had a good connection with kite due to also being a galaxy eyes master, also another galaxy eyes would be cool, like a galaxy eyes heatdeath dragon.
2. Shark since he usually had that fighting spirit it would be cool if he was a memb or the resistance. Either that or he, like he did in zexal, betray’s his friends for new ones, that being fusion. Either way a new none number version of shark drake or any other shark would be cool.
Joey Wheeler: this guy is definitely one I really want, but he’s too kind hearted for duel academy so I wanted him to go the same way as alexis. Also if he’s rocking more red eyes he could have had a good fight again yuri.
Zane: I’ve always said that if yugioh wanted a gx representative, they should’ve picked zane. Alexis was robbed of character development too which is a bigger reason why they should’ve taken zane instead cus he has more personality behind him than alexis. It would be cool if he was also a commander like aster but then sees the light when yuya shoves smile world down his throat like usual.
Akiza: Basically everything said in video but the fact that there was a possibility for new black rose dragons.
Leo and Luna (5Ds) : these kids would’ve been cool if he went to the friendship cup on a duel board and if they got new ancient and power tool combo’s. Leo could’ve also been friends with yugo since yugo had no character besides hating yuri and loving rin.
Seto and Mokuba: Same reason for seto as in video and he could’ve had more character development if our boy moki was there. Think of it. Instead of Leo existing at all, a man known as the president (as said in vid) runs academy. Mokuba travels dimensions to find yuya before the whole zarc thing to tell him that seto is losing control and is corrupt by power after bringing kaiba corp to the new multiverse (he was there when the stuff split) and he plans Toledo it by conquering everything dimension. Mokuba with an actual deck (preferably blue eyes) joins the lancers in their adventures and as they get to the academy Seto tells them about zarc and ending the yuboys is the only way to get rid of the only person capable of contesting his power. He then solo’s every lancer until Riley, Declan, Yuya and Mokuba remain. They almost beat him but yuri comes out of nowhere and finishes him off before blowing everyone but yuya away. They duel and the story proceeds as cannon, except with no epilogue
It would've been nice to see Aki, but I prefer it like this. And no it's not because I love Crow. If we look at the "era" in which lancers landed, she would've been in her unstable phase which might have been a little complicated to deal with.
Also congrats on 66k!
True! An unstable Aki could have caused problems for them. But maybe that's why all three of them could have coexisted in that universe! And thank you!! 2/3 of the way there! xD
@@YugiohEverything I'm with you, Dylan. Alternate Universe Unstable Aki without Yusei around could have been an interesting idea for an anti-hero. A more menacing evolution to Black Rose Dragon and would have been cool evolution to the darker half of the monster's duality. I still prefer the story told by and character growth seen in the original 5D's but it'd be cool to see an alternate take at Aki where she's a powerhouse with an attitude.
Im 50/50 with Arc V but 100% respect for what it wanted to do
Chazz. Chazz would have been a crazy character to have in the fusion dimension. I don't think he would use Ojamas though because I would think he would be even more unhinged and more like Hell Kaiser Zane. Maybe he would use an Xyz machine and Armored dragon hybrid style deck
I'd love to see him as a rival general to Edo/Aster. Also, we needed more characters to stay by Academia's side. Manjoume/Chazz could act like he did in season 1 of GX, but a little more professional.
Manjoume Thunder/The Chazz
Instead of Asuka who didn't do anything, I'd love to see Manjoume as a fusion general and be Edo's rival. He could even stay by Academia's side only to betray Yuri so he would be the most powerful academian. Yuri would then defeat Manjoume and card him. Also, imagine seeing all academians cheering for Manjoume in the XYZ arc while Manjoume defeats Yuya and says that he is the best entermate duelist. Would've been amazing. I'd love to see Manjoume and Edo as rival commanders in ARC-V. Imagine their bickering. Would've been hilarious to see.
Alit/Alito
You may be wondering: Why not Shark? Or anyone else? Are you biased towards Alit? No. I just think he would be very useful to the plot in the XYZ arc. We could see a battle hungry Alit as a Resistance commander, imagine Alit and Shun interacting. Would be awesome. We could even get a flashback of him beating Sora, which led him to hate XYZ users.
Also, we could have a Alit VS Edo duel, which would be amazing and the only legacy character VS legacy character duel as far as I remember, resulting in Edo getting the win, establishing him as the better general and building up his duel with Yuya.
Despite the backlash Arc-V got later in its run, I still rewatch the series today. For its flaws, there's many to love: return of all summon mechanics, Pendulum summon (they're cool IMO. They get to much hate nowadays and deserve a second chance in MR5), Reiji, Shun, the Yu boys, legacy characters, No Gil Bo animated episodes, return of old archetypes, Sora vs Shun, Yuya vs Yuri. When it got certain parts right, Arc V was an awesome YGO show. The ending was bad yes and could've been better, but I still like the series. Plus, the Zarc duel was a guilty pleasure of mine. It did try something different by having not just one person beat the final boss and showed more variety in the duel. Granted I would've loved just Reiji and Leo duel Zarc until Ray finishes him. That be better wouldn't it? So many missed opportunities. So much potential that wasn't utilised. Even Leo could've been great with better writing and more duels. He was built up well before hand anyway.
bladersmosh arc v had the biggest potential but they completely screwed up the story.
And here are my 5D's characters I wished appeared in Arc V
5D’s
Aki (Akiza) - Akiza in my mind has to be one of the main wants and wished to have appeared in Arc V. Her backstory like Jack and Crow wouldn’t be all that different from her 5D’s counterpart similar life but slightly different. Akiza’s life would have a different turn she would have used to live with the Tops but when she discovered her psychic abilities which then got out of hand either ran away from home in fear of hurting them or anyone else and been living alone ever since or was thrown/cast aside by them because of her psychic abilities and has been vengeful and resentful ever since in the Commons spreading pain and destruction in anyway she can. An idea I had where it was when Yuya and co. were staying at Crow’s place still hiding from security then hear about a female duelist having powers to make duels more harmful (ik typical psychic powers). Yuya and the others would check it out but at the same time still keep a low profile. They would then witness her duel against some random opponent and she’s how she duels and were all horrified by the way she duels and Yuya being the way he is challenges her to show her the true way of dueling and vice versa. Now this where two outcomes can happen:
Either he loses and gets severely hurt from her but while they were dueling Yuzu and Yugo would also get word of the duel and this would lead Yuzu and Yuya reunited much earlier being worried about his condition that would drift the story in all new direction but at some point duel again but they get a better understanding of each other. In their rematch Aki’s powers goes out of control but Yuya saves her showing her a sign of friendship blah blah blah and helps her open up and and smile their duel results in Yuya’s victory but gain not only a new friend but also a new ally for their upcoming battles against Academia.
Or their first can go like any other last two episodes Yuya’s Entertainment duel leaves an impact on her and she changes for the better regardless she would still become a friend and help along the way like Crow has as one of the Lancers. Her deck would still consist of Plant type monsters and burn damage and like Jack and Crow she could have a new ace monster or have a dragon with a similar appearance to Black Rose Dragon. And that’s it for her.
Leo & Luna (Rua/Lua & Luca/Ruka/Luka/Ruca) - This one was a bit tricky I say both of them but in all honesty I would just pick Luna. But first let me talk about the twins I can’t say much about how both of them would fit other than befriending Yuya and co. and acting like the big brother figure that they look up to. Now if I have to pick just one of them I pick Luna. So for Luna well after doing some research I think I would want her to take on her manga counterpart persona reserve and lonely until one day crosses paths with Yuya probably when he, Celina, Sawatari, and Reira arrive in the Synchro Dimension and started frequently following them until finally being noticed by Yuya or Reira with the latter taking her in to stay with Crow and the kids he watches. Luna and Reira would get along fine since both of them are quiet and don’t talk very much at first but start to open up to others due Yuya’s influence and being more self-aware. She would still look up to Yuya as a big brother and as her hero similar to how she sees Leo as her hero. But her role in the second season would be to a small extent cause I don’t see her doing much. In terms of dueling I don’t see her dueling much but her deck I don’t think she would have a dragon with a similar appearance to Ancient Fairy Dragon but more like Crow, a new deck with a new ace. And with that she’s done.
Sherry - Sherry for her first we’ll dial her down a bit too probably 16 or 17. Now if she would appear in Arc V she would have a flirtatious side but at the same time a serious side to her. How Sherry would be introduced and her purpose and reason for appearing, well did some quick thinking and I would have Sherry appear at the Facility for some reason she would then witness Yuya’s duel with Chojiro and be intruge by his way of dueling and him. Now here’s where I would do something different with the story before the day (or night) of the exhibition match of the Friendship Cup there would be a sort of get together party for all the contestants competing Yuya would have brief interactions with the Lancers, even to Yugo face to face for the first time with getting teleported away by Yuzu’s bracelet, and even Yuzu reunited much earlier have a back to back chat then eventually meeting Sherry and would shown to have a little infatuation (sort of like Grace has if you want to look at it that way) with her even blowing him a kiss which angers a jealous Yuzu creating mini love triangle (lol). Sherry would also be in the Friendship Cup getting passed the first round, the second round I can see her either dueling Yuya or Yuzu. If Yuzu she would lose but also teases her about her feelings for Yuya which would spark a rivalry between the two for Yuya’s affections. If Yuya she still lose but kept using her French accent and charm to woo him and slightly throw him off a little but was still impacted on how his dueltaining was. And at the end of it gives him a kiss (not on the lips) which both awes the crowd and infuriates Yuzu. Deck well as I recall she uses a Warrior type deck so not different. Sherry I more or less feel like she would just be there to create drama between Yuya and Yuzu.
Kalin (Kiryu) - The Death God himself, every legacy character needs a past badass to return and that’s our boy Kiryu. After looking into his background and personality in both the anime and manga I think Kalin should have a combination of both but I'm leaning more to the manga. Now how would he be introduced well I would have him be seen during the first duel between Shay and Dennis...well not there but as one of the contestants in the Friendship Cup where he witness Shay’s underground duels and sees him as someone who can satisfy him y’know the usual satisfaction term. So as much as I wished for Kalin to have more worth appearing appearances I can only see him as being a one-off character who only appears in a few episodes. Kalin would duel Shay in the first round due to how I mentioned more characters, both would be impressed with each other's skills but Kalin’s handless combo still pushes Shay. By the end Shay wins but Kalin would be satisfied because he dueled a worthy opponent. Deck well like other legacy characters some have a combination of their old cards and new ones he would still use Infernities and his ace would be a dragon based off of either the anime (Hundred-Eye Dragon or Infernity Doom Dragon) or manga (Void Ogre Dragon).
I see. Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to come up with all of that?
@@christopherb501 each one took me a week or two depending on how much thought i put into it my Zexal list took the longest
@@kaievolutionzero7072 Ah, I see.
Do _you_ see, Gallop? HOW HARD WAS THAT?!?
Funny you mention Sherry as there's fanart portraying her, Antimony, and Yugo being a family with Yugo being their kid XD
I wanted to get Zane in arc v running against duel academy as a overlly zealous rebel that got kicked out of yusho duel school
I agree Ryo would have been MUCH better than Edo...
Imagine watching Edo's character in GX: he starts by trouncing Ryo (who was undefeated in a legitimate duel with no blackmail at this point), toyed with Judai the entire time then beat him so badly he lost his passion for dueling (which he was infamous for having) because he could no longer see his cards.
I could stop there because this alone cements him as one of the best GX characters, but on top of this he beat the D (world champion at the time) and the broken D-Hero Plasma, which in turn helped him conquer his demons and made the arc of him searching for his father's killer and the final D card come full circle.
Then his character goes downhill when he loses to Saiou; after the Judai-Johan duel in S3, he doesn't appear again until Johan duels Ryo, then once everyone gets absorbed into the next portal we don't see him again until Judai becomes the Supreme King. After that, he loses to Amon, and then Manjoume.
At this point you think Edo's treatment couldn't actually get any worse, then we see his Arc-V iteration who doesn't win a single duel.
TL;DR just when you think GX Edo got thrown to the wayside as went on, Arc-V Edo comes along and starts worse than he ended in GX.
I think they choose aster over chazz or even zane because they wanted a hero user but who isn't Jaden
Zane presumely die before arc V really start
For me zane is the sephiroth(final fantasy7 reference) of yugioh
All his lost are due to plot
I mean zane is too badass
He is not jack atlas
He is not a king
*He is the emperor*
Look in gx
When you think of the best duelist of gx
Zane truesdale(Ryo marufuji) i'm sure of that
I think chazz was replace by sawatori
The difference chazz trash talk but he can back it up

And also it would have been cool
Seeing seto using the synchros and the tuners and a match vs jack atlas
Agree completely. As much as Edo is my favorite, I don't understand why they put an alternate dimension version of him in Arc-V if they were just going to make it even worse than when he became thrown to the side in GX. Arc-V could have been a sort of chance to make up for the eventual shit treatment he got in GX, but they blew it. The GX manga sort of makes a good apology, but the only problem was that Aster was introduced far too late. Season 2 of GX was Edo's true time to shine and it ended there, sadly. His role in 3 was minimal and 4 was a joke with him not even being the cenral focus of the only two episodes he was in. I guess by then, they thought he didn't even deserve an episode arc to himself. And all those episodes with Sartorius and even Sarina making an appearance and they can't even be bothered to remember their best friend. Guess Edo/Aster was useless to Saio since he wasn't a savior with special powers to control the Gentle Darkness. They don't show how he fell to Trueman or even at the graduation for a visit. And yet they kept showing Edo in the opening theme for season 4 as if he was an important character in it...
Zane could have been really entertaining with going all-out Hell Kaiser and ruthless on the battlefield in Arc-V. And what about his newer cyber dragon stuff and even Xyz cards? They could have come up with some interesting storyline behind how he got those despite being from Fusion dimension.
@@raina1848 i agree edo character development briefly ends in season 2
His lost against chazz in season 4 was chazz character development
And yeah i think zane should have appear in arc V but then they got internal issues in the plot and organisation and they said we will only make a reference nothing more
ARC-V was actually a chance to have dream matches and in a way to not spoil the real characters legacy
And in a way to canonise the characters New supports cards
I like how jack and crow were well treated
For me i saw crow absolutely identical to his 5ds counter part
But in the end they maked mostly every legend characters appear weak to yuya's version
Even kite tenjo had a tough moment
I'd have liked that at the end of Season 1 right before all the lancer's teleport to the Synchro-Dimension Reiji tells them that he sent someone he considers a close friend ahead of them and it would turn out that its good old Joey Wheeler. Mostly because I really felt like Reiji really needed someone that completely believed in him (besides Riley) & would actually gives him constructive criticism (That possibly involved punching him) on how to actually lead the lancers. Plus Red-Eyes was getting more support around that time so it could have worked. The only problem is that the Synchro-Dimension arc was really bloated as is, so either Joey would have to replace someone like Shinji or Chojiro for it to work, or just have him leave to the Xyzs-Dimension before the tournament.
I feel like Yugo is basically Jounouchi. Luck based cards and very similar personality.
Tbh i would have replaced aster with chazz or crowler for the 2nd gx character
I like your list but I definitely would've wanted Rio to show up and be ally to Shun. Also, Noah could've been an amazing boss and Zane would've been a better GX win for Yuri.
5 Characters I would like to see in Arc-V is:
-Aki Izayoi/Akiza Izinski
-Ryo Marifuji/Hell Kaiser/Zane Truesdale
-Fubuki Tenjoin/Atticus Rhode
-Dextra/Droite
-Nistro/Gauche
And an add a bonus, I want to see Anna Kaboom in Arc-V as well
Great list! Atticus is an interesting one. I wonder if he still would have been the brother of Asuka had he showed up
@@YugiohEverything Yeah, I wonder that as well
I feel like with regards to a second Zexal character in Arc-V, we got half a character out of Kozuki Allen and Sasayama Sayaka. Allen was a call-back to Kozuki Anna and Sayaka was a call-back to Kotori Mizuki. Because they were cheap references, I feel like together they only count as half a character, kind of like the 5 Yushou students that Yuri fights later that are references to Marufuji Shou, Hayato Maeda, and Manjoume Jun. It is almost like getting an extra character, but only through their deck references and none of the actual substance that would come with the name.
Yugioh : marik ,Joey
GX: Zane ,aster,Jesse
5ds: kiryu (kalin),crow,jack
Zexal: quattro,kite
Yes
Yugioh Arc 5
Is my favorite
5th Yu-Gi-Oh series
especially my favorite protagonist
Yuya &
His 3 counterparts
AHHHHHH I totally wished IV or any of the other Arclights were in it.....they weren't
Same!! :)
When you say "a crazier version of himself", does that mean crazier than Death-T arc Seto Kaiba?
I'd like to see Mai Valentine, Tyranno Hassleberry, Leo and Luna, and Brock Stone.
5: Jim
4: Shark
3: Quattro
2: Akiza
1: Alito
Technically speaking, *Seto Kaiba* made cameo in *Arc-V* on the *King's Synchro* Trap Card that Jack Atlas played. And Kaiba is hinted to be living in the Standard Dimension since we do see the original KC Duel Disk that he created in the OG series.
For me it would’ve been nice to see
5.IV
4.Rebecca
3.Ryo (GX)
2.Shark
1.Aki(I love Black Rose Dragon)
But great list as always Dylan and I hope everyone has an amazing day
Great list Blue!! Rebecca Hawkins!? That's VERY unique! Would love to know your reasoning behind that!! And thanks Blue, you're the best!! :)
@@YugiohEverything It's just we really didn't see a lot from her and her duels were interesting plus she's a genius so like she could've liked hacked into Academy or something she's just someone who I thought had a lot of potential and we really didn't get to see it
For the sake of argument, in defense of having Shark, Arc-V's writers could have done similar as the writers for the Zexal manga, who kept Shark as human; or even just used the manga as the basis for all the Arc-V worlds being very different from the canon worlds we know. As someone who hates with a passion for everything was thrown away for the poor excuse of making Yuya the real big bad, I feel like things might have been slightly better if they had done something like that. But that's just my opinion.
I would have loved to have seen Seto Kaiba, Rio, and Akiza in Arc V. My pick for a Zexal character who be Dextra who would work with Kite and be a part of the Resistance in Heartland.
UHHHH, we needed the ultimate FANSERVICE in arc v
I would’ve loved to see Rebecca Hawkins all grown up and helping the resistance in the fusion dimension
FUN FACT in jump force none of the yu gi oh extension were in the game but it would have been funny to see Quattro VS mista (from jojo bizarre aventure ) bc Quattro litteraly mean 4 lol 😂😂😂
A Yuri vs Aki and Sora vs Four duel would have been awesome.
I actually saw a really interesting theory on how Yuya is the embodiment of Yugi, Yuri is the embodiment of Judai, Yugo is the embodiment of Yusei and Yuto is the embodiment of Yuma - and the theory goes that Ray had a hand in bringing the previous Yu-Gi-Oh! characters back but used the previous protagonists to form with Zarc to calm Zarc down, which is why it kind of backfired with Yuri as the Supreme King from GX overpowered Judai and took control over most of Yuri which is why Yuri owns Super Polymerization. Ray brought back Jack, Crow, Kite etc to challenge Zarc if by any chance Zarc was to overpower the souls of the protagonists within the four Yu boys.
Why is it that right beforw he said kaiba I did a kaiba pose and yelled SETO F****** KAIBA
I would like to see:
5.Leo and Luna,
4.Bastion,
3.Quatro,
2.Syrus and
1.Best of them all JOEY!
Astral Leo Luna & Joey
Idk how astral would work tho probably wearing human skin like vector did in zeXal
