Yugi's Dimension Trap Loop against Aigami is my personal favorite since it not only makes use of the cards involved in the loop, but also the rules of the duel mode itself to prevent lethal battle damage. I love the dimension traps so much despite them not being very good and I hope they get retrained and added to the Shining Sarcophagus deck!
I’m suprised there’s more than 2. I could only recall Reiji vs Rojet and Yugi vs Strings. Seeing all these loops immediately reminded of these duels/moments. What an interesting list to see!
Honestly, Yami Yugi VS String’s spot is deserved. Back when I was a kid watching, seeing Yami Yugi who’s always so confident , give into fear and hopelessness facing against God really settled in the same feeling, only to make a miracle turnaround of the situation with the first automated loop in the series was hella satisfying!
I feel like Reiji's was the best. As soon as I watched it for the first time it reminded me of Doctor Strange Vs Dormamu, but Reiji is Dormamu and Roget is Doctor Strange, BUT Dormamu having the upper hand. It was a joy to watch and is honestly just so cool to see Roget break I hated him lol.
Their is one other loop in 5ds this during episode 95 Crow vs Bolton. During Crow turn (this turn 10 the last turn and this from the wiki) : Crow draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Speed World 2" activates (Bolton's SPC: 8 → 9; Crow's SPC: 1 → 2). Crow then Normal Summons "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" in Attack Position. He then tunes "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" with "Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak" in order to Synchro Summon "Black-Winged Dragon"in Attack Position. Since Crow summoned a Synchro Monster, Bolton activates his face-down "Synchro Rivalry". Now monsters can't be destroyed by battle this turn. Crow activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton" to draw two cards ("Blackwing Anchor" and "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite") and send "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" from his hand to the Graveyard. "The loop begin here" Crow then Sets "Blackwing Anchor" ("Delta Crow - Anti Reverse" in the dub). This activates the effect of "Crimson Mefist", but the effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response, reducing the damage Crow would take to 0 and decreasing its own ATK by the damage nullified ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2800 → 2500 ATK). Crow then activates the effect of "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" to return "Blackwing Anchor" to his hand and Special Summon "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" from the Graveyard in Attack Position and take 400 damage. The effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" then applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2500 → 2100 ATK). Crow Sets "Blackwing Anchor", which destroys "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" due to its second effect and starts the loop all over again starting with the second effect of "Crimson Mefist". Crow continues the strategy loop over and over until the ATK of "Black-Winged Dragon" becomes 0 ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2100 → 1800 → 1400 → 1100 → 700 → 400 → 0 ATK). Crow then activates the second effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" to increase its ATK by the total damage its effect nullified, and decrease the ATK of "Crimson Mefist" by the exact same amount ("Black-Winged Dragon": 0 → 2800 ATK; "Crimson Mefist": 2800 → 0 ATK). "Black-Winged Dragon" attacks "Crimson Mefist", but the latter isn't destroyed due to "Synchro Rivalry" (Bolton: 2800 → 0 LP). This the effect of Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite in the anime : If this card is in your Graveyard, you can return 1 card you control to the hand to Special Summon this card and take 400 damage. If this card is Special Summoned with this effect while a card is Set on the field, destroy this card. (This why the real have a hard once per Duel). So Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite is totaly broken in the anime if you can just set a card and you got a free body. This look like the card Level Eater.
This was my personal favorite loop in the franchise, and such a creative way to use Black-Winged Dragon. I completely get why they changed the effect later on and forced Zephyrus to be once per duel, this would’ve been broken if you could set up for it properly.
I get how classic Yugi’s loop was, but I have to say that the loop with Yuri and Yusho really gave me chills. I mean I really felt the despair. Tributing your opponents cards to activate the spell? Also let’s not forget the LP and ATK continuous loss. Like as much as I like the Egoa (Smile) aspect of dueling there was literally nothing that could’ve saved him and that right there is what makes Yuri such a good villain.
Even if Hasselberry didn't have his trap... Sho's loop was still legal, as each part of the loop changes the game state in a way that one player get's closer to winning (by Tryanno taking damage)... If that didn't happen, Sho wouldn't have been allowed to use de-fusion to put out the guys that allowed the loop to happen.
My favourite loop has to be the Yuma vs Vector one where Yuma kept attacking Masquerade with Utopia Ray V each time and then once he managed to split from his Dark Zexal, Yuma stopped the last attack by ending his turn which would’ve made him lose the duel if the last attack had went through
@@rainbowdragon168 Yeah Can D Live is incredible also doing really well in DL too! Btw my original account is @NoOne-ks8tu its just sometimes my comments dont go through so I comment with this account
Hey Dylan! I’m glad you’re still making videos!!!!!!!! You should make a video of the most broken cards in duel monsters! But anyway I enjoyed this video like every video over the last 8 years!
Vector's loop vs Yuma was agonizing to watch mostly for history reasons (Zexal is on autopilot basically because of the internal turmoil). Reiji's loop was satisfying af and Yugi's is both iconic and satisfying to watch
Hounereble mentions to Jaden vs Viper Vipers field: Viper has Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes as the only monster on his field, a monster that can special summon itself on destruction by banishing a reptile monster from the graveyard, and because its atk is 500 times the number of reptile monsters in his graveyard, it had 2500 at the time the loop could have begun. Jadens field: Jaden has Wild heart on the field, a monster that has the effekt that it can atk all monsters on the field, and its atk is 2600. Now Jadens attaks Vennominin with Wild Hearth, with under normal surcumstanses would make it so Viper has to revive his monster in order to keep it (cant remember if the effekt is mandetory in the anime, im 50/50 on it) but because Vipers monster counts as a new card every time it revives, Wild heart is allowt to attak it again, and because of all this either Viper has no choice on if he wants to revive his monster or not, and thus Jaden can keep attaking it until there no Reptile left in Vipers graveyard thus we have a loop, or if Viper has a choice is forced to stop reviving his monster, lose it and be in a bad spot, of course this loop never started, because Viper had the trap Rise Of The Snake Deity, wich allows him to instead of reviving Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes on its destruction, special summon Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, wich also gains 500 atk fore every reptile in the graveyard, giving it 3000 atk so Wild Hearth couldent atk over any more monsters. This was among the first things that came to mind when explaining the video, and even thoug it never started, it almost did so it was worth a mention.
There was another "intended loop" in Gx Viper had Venominom on the field, then Jaden summoned Wildedge, and Jesse stated that Jaden's gameplan was to prevent Viper from using Venominom's revive effect by the threat of a potential loop: upon revival, venominom would count as a new monster, wildedge's effect would allow it to attack Venominom again, and venominom would get weaker by 500 points every time, allowing Jaden to deplete Viper's points Though you could say it was successful in preventing him from using the effect, Viper just summoned Venominaga next turn
I'm surprised that Luke's loop against Goha Yuga was not considered for the list. He was able to figure out how to pull off a loop with a deck he never used before to empty Goha Yuga's graveyard to get over his boss monsters high attack.
Kenzan's set card would certainly have ended the loop but it would only have resulted in a draw nonetheless. In exact rulings you would be able to use Jurassic Impact in between Ultimate Tyranno attacks (though only the anime version, the IRL version requires him to have a second monster on the field). Also Ultimate Tyranno had its effect re-worded that makes the loop no longer a thing - its wording throughout all but its most recent printing was that it MUST attack all monsters, but it was rewritten to say that as long as it can attack, other monsters cannot attack so there is no restriction stating that you couldn't simply end your battle phase when you spot the loop.
Fun fact: in the anime when a card owned by your oppenent but controlled by you is sent to the graveyard, the card is sent to your graveyard, this can be seen in the bakura vs marik duel with Ra and Yugi vs marik with monster reborn, thats why the revival jam loop is posibble in the anime
Imo Playmaker's loop is one of the best cs this also technically counts as one of the best final turns in all of YGO (up there Luke final's turns againts Yuga Goha where Luke went insane combo without even using his deck). Honestly, should take it as a suggestion for a Top 10 best final turns in all of YGO in a future lol
Personally I don't think you should count Yusei's potential loop vs. Antinomy since it didn't happen due to Halberd Cannon negating Wild Heart's summon twice. I would replace this with Bohman's Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch OTK loop vs. Blue Maiden. Here's how this worked: whenever Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch finished an attack and the opponent still had a monster on the field, the former's effect would activate, forcing the opponent to send one monster they control that shared an Attribute with Tesseract (which had EARTH, WATER, WIND, and FIRE as Attributes) to the GY. If successful, Tesseract can attack again. On the final turn, this loop repeated a total of five times, eventually overpowering the defenses of Marincess Wonder Heart and destroying it. Wonder Heart's destruction also caused Judgment Arrows to be live again, which meant Tesseract had double the ATK on the final blow. Blue Maiden's defenses were overpowered and her LP wiped out as a result.
The first fight between Blue Angel and Playmaker has a loop with trikstar , repeated a couple of times until Playmaker solved it or maybe he never solved it, I don't remember now, but in that episode there is a loop with the cards of the Zaizen girl. Season 1 ep 6 and 7
@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1873 what are you picks? I'd have to say for 5ds kalin vs yusei + rematch, ragnarok. Zexal Quinton vs kite, vetrix vs kite, for arc v declan vs yuya, and the final battle vs Z-ARC. VRAINS I'm not sure but anything with soul burner or ghost lady
Duel monsters Joey vs marik yugi vs Pegasus yugi vs Kiba gx yubel vs Zane Zane vs judia graduation match Jaden vs yubel 5ds yusei vs kallen r2 yusei vs aki r1 zexal Yuma vs Nash vector vs Nash arc v shun vs sora yuya vs Yuri yuya vs Declan r2 vrains playmaker vs Ai (lightning vs specter is my favorite duel of all time I love 2 duelist going all out)
Playmaker vs. Revolver R4 and Playmaker vs. Ai are two VERY good duels. I'd say they both qualify for the top 5. Another great contender is Yugi vs. Atem in the DM finale.
Since there are no Rush Duels ill add one from each show: Sevens- Yuga vs Luke R2, one of the greatest Yugioh Duels I have ever seen with you not knowing who is gonna win, both of them going all out, with their end board having each of their 3 aces. I thought Yuga was going to win for his loss to Luke early on but Luke clinched it incredibly. Go Rush- Yudias VS Zwijo R2, Honestly another abseloutely top class duel where both of them are using their spaceships and the scale of the duel is massive. Every Yudias vs Zwijo duel is incredible but this was the most unique and captivating one. Also shoutout to Phaser, Zwijo and Yuhi Vs Yudias/Kuaidul that duel was amazing and Intestellar Change is another one of my favourite Yugioh moments along Jointech Tri Dynabase!
I remember most of these but great video as a reminder to us! Was very good loved the dark zexal one and the yugi vs aigami should go over the top 2 as that really shows us just how great Yugi still is even as the pharaoh is no longer with him.
Rex Goodwin technically had a loop with his 2 Synchro monsters during his duel with Yusei, Jack, and Crow. During Yugi's duel with an Orichalcos Soldier, the Soldier used a monster that was a loop by itself (iirc Dartz also used that monster). Jaden Yuki's Grand Mole is another loop by itself and Jaden used it multiple times, most prominently to defeat Lorenzo in GX season 2.
While the infinite loop with Rex Goodwin was plausible, keep in mind Yusei had Scrubbed Raid ready to stop that on a dime, should Rex attack with either of his two Synchros. Using Wiraqocha Rasca to instead drop everybody to 1 LP one by one was honestly the better play.
It's definitely a classic, but sadly doesn't count. It has a clearly defined end point, aka when the top card isn't a monster card. Plus it's just 1 card's effect doing everything.
I believe Kenzans effect could only active when he has less LP. So he only could’ve used it before the last attack actually went through. There is actually another loop with Bohman. When he dueled Blue Maiden the effect of his hydradrive (monarch, I think?) would make aoi send a monster to the graveyard of the same attribute after attacking. This almost occurred twice;she used a trap to banish her monsters the first time. But the second time she was not able to
The tcg ruling is if a card is causing an infinite loop a judge decides what card is the biggest problem and the card is sent to grave. If its an optional loop like what the Six Samurai can do you can just say you are gonna do it X amount of times
Only if the infinite loop does not change the game state (ex. by forcing a player to draw cards, by dealing LP damage, etc.) in any way. Infinite loops that eventually cause a player to lose are 100% legal.
I'm kind of surprised that Yugi's play against Weevil using Berserker Soul isn't here even as a technicality. While it isn't a loop in terms of multiple cards being used in a repetitive combo, it is a set of repeated actions nonetheless. On top of that, it's pretty much iconic as the moment you say "Monsta Caddo", just about EVERY Yu-Gi-Oh fan knows exactly which moment you're talking about. Hell if you use it (or "monsta cardo"), in a search here on YT or literally any search engine, you get the video, you get memes referencing the clip... just really surprised it wasn't included.
in regards to Hassleberry vs Sho Ultimate Tyranno must attack all monsters the opponent controls once each, the player still has to take the action of declaring an attack, they just don't have the ability to leave the battle phase until Tyranno has attacked everything, giving hassleberry a window before he declares his next attack to use Jurrasic Impact.
Speaking of Strings, i actually tried to reverse engineer the duel in order to figure out how many cards he had in his Deck. Aside from the final cuts of him drawing during the infinite loop, if Strings started with a 40-card Deck, then he would only have around 8 cards left by the time the loop is triggered if my math is right. I'll recheck to be sure, but I'm positive that im right.
@@YugiohEverything does this only pertain to short or long loops ? -Rex goodwin with his sun and moon dragons -crow's BW returning to the field at the cost of 400 lp -Quinton's dyson sphere using OVL units to negate attacks
Off the top of my head, I can only think of Yami vs Strings, Declan vs Roget, Yugi vs Aigami, and Yuma vs Vector No idea if Kaito vs Mizael counts, cause technically Mizael could've kept attacking but he ran out of ATK points to halve
@@jayd.doubledubs it depends. Are we talking about short for a while or infinite loop? Like for example, Dyson Sphere can negate attacks and retrieve overlay units from GY
Mizael's loop had a cutoff point per the effect of Tachyon Downfall Cannon. That cutoff point was triggered when Neo Tachyon's ATK went below 500. Hence there was no chance for him to win that turn.
Funny how most famous loop in history isn't even legal. Once your Revival Jam that you took control of is destroyed it should be revived on String's side of the field given that he was the original owner of the card.
It's only technically legal in Battle City/Duelist Kingdom Rules because there if you took a card from your opponent and it is destroyed it goes to your graveyard
It's how the cards worked in the anime. Brain Control takes control of Revival Jam for the entire turn. It's the same monster indifferent of the location. So the revival happens on the field of the current owner as it's yours in grave also. For that turn the monster was Yugi's. We got something different where you don't get to put things in your deck, grave and it's not the same monster. We would need to mark monsters. X is mine, x2 is yours. It's to simplify it for us, though we also need to keep check of what monster got revived, specialed etc... Think monsters that can only be summoned and use effects once they got summoned properly.
A top 10 Yugioh cheaters in the entire anime series would be cool, there were a lot in DM but we also had some in GX 5Ds and Zexxal namely that Racoon and Flip
When you mentioned that infinite loops are illegal, technically that's not entirely true. I believe you were using IRL YGO for reference on what the two types of loops are, in which case I must mention that infinite loops were only ever illegal if they didn't result the end of the game, so things like deckout and burn infinite loops have always been legal. Also in IRL YGO, they have fixed the rules a few years back to make it to where an infinite loop that doesn't result in the end of the game and therefore serves no useful function will be stopped by the destruction of the card that is the most responsible for the loop happening.
Wasn’t there a loop in the Blue Maiden vs Bohman duel, where Aoi put herself into a corner by summoning her monsters in DEF as a buffer when simply not doing so or summoning in ATK would’ve given her an additional turn and stopped the loop preemptively?
The Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch OTK loop, you mean? Yeah, she wasn't surviving that turn regardless. Bohman had a card in hand that likely would've gotten him the win.
How about Yugi’s loop to defeat the God cards vs Atem. Destroy his own monsters. Then use magnetic reverse to summon Valkerian. Slifer’s second mouth attack. Magnetic reverse to redirect attack bSck at Atem’s monsters. Then split Valketian to summon 3 magnet warriors. Forcing Slifer to attack again. Triggering trap again. You realize if Slifer had more life points, Ygi could keep repeating thAt sequence by summoning Valketian/3 Magnet warriors.
I think Reiji would deserve first place, for two reasons. First, there is a meta vindication aspect to it: in the first season of Arc V, it seemed that the intrusion penalty was decided by Reiji and didn't apply to, say, the fusion dimension, which was heavily criticized for, so using it to his advantage against a fusion duelist was cathartic. And second, all other loops solved in-duel problems, this loop defeated an off-game CHEAT. However, I also lied. Because it would deserve first place on this list, true, but the actual first place would go to a loop that is not on the list, a more conditional and non-infinite loop (but to me, if we count Playmaker and Dark Side of Dimension, that are more combos, this counts too), and the one who actually defeated a God. Because Atem against Strings sidestepped a God, defeating the opponent instead of the monster, but Yugi merging a unmerging the magnet warriors against Atem actually managed to defeat and destroy not one, but three Egyptian Gods.
Anime effects only the REAL Card game is supposed to not have Infinite Loops work in game that's why cards like the Pole Position Trap card got banned in the actual card game since it could be used for a infinite loop turn.
A loop I was expecting to see didn't make the list. I had to double check to see if it was a loop. I thought of Yugi using Magnet Force against Slifer by summoning Valkyrion, then the magnet warrior pieces that made him in succession to destroy the 3 gods. However, upon rewatching the scene, I think calling it a loop would be incorrect since another card was activated to bring Valkyrion back to use the effect again. I misremembered the scene.
Hot Take: Yuya's Lame Loop should've been Number 9 while Yusei's Potential Loop should've been 10. Since it's only a Potential Loop that never actually happened, it should be at the lowest point on the list (or as a honorable mention if there were more actual loops)
I think everyone knew Yugi VS Slifer was going to be number 1, nothing else could beat that. I'd put Yugi VS Aigami as number 2 but Slifer is easily number 1.
I'm actually surprised that each master duel anime has at least one infinite loop ! By the way, in the Yusei vs Antinomy duel, I think he used a loop in the end to continuously burn antinomy, or am I remembering it wrong ?
Just double checked revival jam and number one is an illegal loop due to the fact yugi should have lost 1000 life points and revival jam would have returned during the next main phase on top of that it’s effect only activates when it’s destroyed in battle
Expected "Yugi vs Weevil- Berserker Soul" loop. Atem had ability to control what to draw with luck boost. Literally he "overkill" and kept going. Tea was the one who stopped him.
Hay guys maybe y'all can help me understand why my Harmonic Synchro Fusion (HSF) card wouldn't activate in Master Duel. I have 2 dark type Rose Dragons on the field. One a tuner and one a non-tuner. I met the condition for HSF by having those monsters on the field but Master Duel wouldn't let me activate it. I was gonna bring out Starving Venom Fusion Dragon and Black Rose MoonLight Dragon with HSF. 2 dark type monsters for the fusion and 2 compatible Synchro materials what gives????
For the same reason you cannot use Ultra Polymerization's GY effect on Starving Venom, Harmonic Synchro Fusion checks if the Fusion can be summoned using the monsters in the GY, however, Starving Venom can only be summoned using monsters on the field, which means it cannot be brought via HSF
Time to ruin the anime logic. Brain Control wouldn't apply after Revival Jam is destroyed. Revival Jam would special summon to Strings' field and Slifer's effect wouldn't activate.
Where is Beserker soul, played against Wevel? It has the potential to be a loop, and in the anime it was. "Draw... monster cardo. Draw ..... monster cardo!! Draw... monster cardo!!!!"
Yugi vs Dartz quite frankly bugged me with the absurd infinite +1, really felt like a cop out/plot armor nonsense. (Still my favorite of the Ygo anime series... but to be honest I am a bit of a boomer. xD) Also here is an idea for a new video: Top 10 momentum swings in a duel, where someone is losing, and they are able to turn it around and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. (Kind of like how kaiba walked to the edge to stop yugi from killing the blue eyes ultimate dragon, perhaps how joey is often able to use time wizard to age monsters and win.
Just a small correction, there's no Infinite +1, the fused Timaeus and Geh both destroyed themselves, however fused Timaeus floats into the 3 Knights after it's destroyed
@@jacksbrow182 Appreciate the correction, It is/was a confusing moment in the anime. That or it was a bad dub that I watched. lol Either way I was wrong. ^^
Even if it was infinite+1, you can theoretically compare 2 infinities, then declare the victor based on that comparison. If one is +1 for each iteration and one is x2 for each iteration, then the x2 is the victorious monster. A bit more complicated than declaring a draw because it's infinite and infinite or invalidity, but you can declare a winner. Heck, take an equip that is always +100 attack over the opponent's monster. Now the opponent has an infinite monster. Your monster can be the victor because yours is in every point x+100, where x is the value your opponent has at that point.
Yeah...I get it The Silent One is the most famous. But Reiji really should have been number 1. That wasn't just a brilliant play, it was also just a giant flex and dominance assertion that shows WHY Reiji is so strong. He didn't just beat Roget, he broke him And it was beautiful. I speak as a biased fanboy of Reiji who desperately wanted D/D/D to come to the tcg and waited in frustration as we were denied and it was pushed back so far it got Powercrept 2 weeks later.
Yugi's Dimension Trap Loop against Aigami is my personal favorite since it not only makes use of the cards involved in the loop, but also the rules of the duel mode itself to prevent lethal battle damage.
I love the dimension traps so much despite them not being very good and I hope they get retrained and added to the Shining Sarcophagus deck!
I just want my Blockman retrain because it's the only monster left from Millennium World arc (in the manga).
I’m suprised there’s more than 2. I could only recall Reiji vs Rojet and Yugi vs Strings. Seeing all these loops immediately reminded of these duels/moments. What an interesting list to see!
Hope you enjoy!!

Their is one other loop in 5ds this during episode 95 Crow vs Bolton. During Crow turn (this turn 10 the last turn and this from the wiki) :
Crow draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Speed World 2" activates (Bolton's SPC: 8 → 9; Crow's SPC: 1 → 2). Crow then Normal Summons "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" in Attack Position. He then tunes "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" with "Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak" in order to Synchro Summon "Black-Winged Dragon"in Attack Position. Since Crow summoned a Synchro Monster, Bolton activates his face-down "Synchro Rivalry". Now monsters can't be destroyed by battle this turn. Crow activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton" to draw two cards ("Blackwing Anchor" and "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite") and send "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" from his hand to the Graveyard.
"The loop begin here"
Crow then Sets "Blackwing Anchor" ("Delta Crow - Anti Reverse" in the dub). This activates the effect of "Crimson Mefist", but the effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" applies in response, reducing the damage Crow would take to 0 and decreasing its own ATK by the damage nullified ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2800 → 2500 ATK). Crow then activates the effect of "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" to return "Blackwing Anchor" to his hand and Special Summon "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" from the Graveyard in Attack Position and take 400 damage. The effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" then applies in response ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2500 → 2100 ATK). Crow Sets "Blackwing Anchor", which destroys "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" due to its second effect and starts the loop all over again starting with the second effect of "Crimson Mefist". Crow continues the strategy loop over and over until the ATK of "Black-Winged Dragon" becomes 0 ("Black-Winged Dragon": 2100 → 1800 → 1400 → 1100 → 700 → 400 → 0 ATK).
Crow then activates the second effect of "Black-Winged Dragon" to increase its ATK by the total damage its effect nullified, and decrease the ATK of "Crimson Mefist" by the exact same amount ("Black-Winged Dragon": 0 → 2800 ATK; "Crimson Mefist": 2800 → 0 ATK). "Black-Winged Dragon" attacks "Crimson Mefist", but the latter isn't destroyed due to "Synchro Rivalry" (Bolton: 2800 → 0 LP).
This the effect of Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite in the anime : If this card is in your Graveyard, you can return 1 card you control to the hand to Special Summon this card and take 400 damage. If this card is Special Summoned with this effect while a card is Set on the field, destroy this card. (This why the real have a hard once per Duel).
So Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite is totaly broken in the anime if you can just set a card and you got a free body. This look like the card Level Eater.

Vector's loop vs Yuma was agonizing to watch mostly for history reasons (Zexal is on autopilot basically because of the internal turmoil). Reiji's loop was satisfying af and Yugi's is both iconic and satisfying to watch
Hounereble mentions to Jaden vs Viper
Vipers field: Viper has Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes as the only monster on his field, a monster that can special summon itself on destruction by banishing a reptile monster from the graveyard, and because its atk is 500 times the number of reptile monsters in his graveyard, it had 2500 at the time the loop could have begun.
Jadens field: Jaden has Wild heart on the field, a monster that has the effekt that it can atk all monsters on the field, and its atk is 2600.
Now Jadens attaks Vennominin with Wild Hearth, with under normal surcumstanses would make it so Viper has to revive his monster in order to keep it (cant remember if the effekt is mandetory in the anime, im 50/50 on it) but because Vipers monster counts as a new card every time it revives, Wild heart is allowt to attak it again, and because of all this either Viper has no choice on if he wants to revive his monster or not, and thus Jaden can keep attaking it until there no Reptile left in Vipers graveyard thus we have a loop, or if Viper has a choice is forced to stop reviving his monster, lose it and be in a bad spot, of course this loop never started, because Viper had the trap Rise Of The Snake Deity, wich allows him to instead of reviving Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes on its destruction, special summon Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, wich also gains 500 atk fore every reptile in the graveyard, giving it 3000 atk so Wild Hearth couldent atk over any more monsters.
This was among the first things that came to mind when explaining the video, and even thoug it never started, it almost did so it was worth a mention.
There was another "intended loop" in Gx
Viper had Venominom on the field, then Jaden summoned Wildedge, and Jesse stated that Jaden's gameplan was to prevent Viper from using Venominom's revive effect by the threat of a potential loop: upon revival, venominom would count as a new monster, wildedge's effect would allow it to attack Venominom again, and venominom would get weaker by 500 points every time, allowing Jaden to deplete Viper's points
Though you could say it was successful in preventing him from using the effect, Viper just summoned Venominaga next turn
I'm surprised that Luke's loop against Goha Yuga was not considered for the list. He was able to figure out how to pull off a loop with a deck he never used before to empty Goha Yuga's graveyard to get over his boss monsters high attack.
6:28 Unusual combination of Japanese name + localized name.
Kenzan's set card would certainly have ended the loop but it would only have resulted in a draw nonetheless.
In exact rulings you would be able to use Jurassic Impact in between Ultimate Tyranno attacks (though only the anime version, the IRL version requires him to have a second monster on the field). Also Ultimate Tyranno had its effect re-worded that makes the loop no longer a thing - its wording throughout all but its most recent printing was that it MUST attack all monsters, but it was rewritten to say that as long as it can attack, other monsters cannot attack so there is no restriction stating that you couldn't simply end your battle phase when you spot the loop.
That one akaba reji from arc v did was really cool against that guy from the fusion dimension
Fun fact: in the anime when a card owned by your oppenent but controlled by you is sent to the graveyard, the card is sent to your graveyard, this can be seen in the bakura vs marik duel with Ra and Yugi vs marik with monster reborn, thats why the revival jam loop is posibble in the anime
Imo Playmaker's loop is one of the best cs this also technically counts as one of the best final turns in all of YGO (up there Luke final's turns againts Yuga Goha where Luke went insane combo without even using his deck). Honestly, should take it as a suggestion for a Top 10 best final turns in all of YGO in a future lol
Damn I forgot about Reiji's loop. What a scene.
I know the yugi vs haga berserk soul is not exactly a loop but it's still my favorite one
Yup, it's definitely a classic, but sadly doesn't count.
Personally I don't think you should count Yusei's potential loop vs. Antinomy since it didn't happen due to Halberd Cannon negating Wild Heart's summon twice. I would replace this with Bohman's Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch OTK loop vs. Blue Maiden.
Here's how this worked: whenever Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch finished an attack and the opponent still had a monster on the field, the former's effect would activate, forcing the opponent to send one monster they control that shared an Attribute with Tesseract (which had EARTH, WATER, WIND, and FIRE as Attributes) to the GY. If successful, Tesseract can attack again.
On the final turn, this loop repeated a total of five times, eventually overpowering the defenses of Marincess Wonder Heart and destroying it. Wonder Heart's destruction also caused Judgment Arrows to be live again, which meant Tesseract had double the ATK on the final blow. Blue Maiden's defenses were overpowered and her LP wiped out as a result.
The first fight between Blue Angel and Playmaker has a loop with trikstar , repeated a couple of times until Playmaker solved it or maybe he never solved it, I don't remember now, but in that episode there is a loop with the cards of the Zaizen girl. Season 1 ep 6 and 7
Top 25 duels of all time?
@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1873 what are you picks? I'd have to say for 5ds kalin vs yusei + rematch, ragnarok. Zexal Quinton vs kite, vetrix vs kite, for arc v declan vs yuya, and the final battle vs Z-ARC. VRAINS I'm not sure but anything with soul burner or ghost lady
Duel monsters Joey vs marik yugi vs Pegasus yugi vs Kiba gx yubel vs Zane Zane vs judia graduation match Jaden vs yubel 5ds yusei vs kallen r2 yusei vs aki r1 zexal Yuma vs Nash vector vs Nash arc v shun vs sora yuya vs Yuri yuya vs Declan r2 vrains playmaker vs Ai (lightning vs specter is my favorite duel of all time I love 2 duelist going all out)
Playmaker vs. Revolver R4 and Playmaker vs. Ai are two VERY good duels. I'd say they both qualify for the top 5.
Another great contender is Yugi vs. Atem in the DM finale.
Since there are no Rush Duels ill add one from each show:
Sevens- Yuga vs Luke R2, one of the greatest Yugioh Duels I have ever seen with you not knowing who is gonna win, both of them going all out, with their end board having each of their 3 aces. I thought Yuga was going to win for his loss to Luke early on but Luke clinched it incredibly.
Go Rush- Yudias VS Zwijo R2, Honestly another abseloutely top class duel where both of them are using their spaceships and the scale of the duel is massive. Every Yudias vs Zwijo duel is incredible but this was the most unique and captivating one.
Also shoutout to Phaser, Zwijo and Yuhi Vs Yudias/Kuaidul that duel was amazing and Intestellar Change is another one of my favourite Yugioh moments along Jointech Tri Dynabase!
I remember most of these but great video as a reminder to us! Was very good loved the dark zexal one and the yugi vs aigami should go over the top 2 as that really shows us just how great Yugi still is even as the pharaoh is no longer with him.
"You know what happens now."
"Revival Jam...revives itself again."
I really like the yugi vs strings that loop was very memorable to me also playmaker vs bohman was very similar to yusei vs zone which i liked
The best Yugioh loop is watching Yugioh Everything videos over and over and over and over and over.....
Rex Goodwin technically had a loop with his 2 Synchro monsters during his duel with Yusei, Jack, and Crow. During Yugi's duel with an Orichalcos Soldier, the Soldier used a monster that was a loop by itself (iirc Dartz also used that monster). Jaden Yuki's Grand Mole is another loop by itself and Jaden used it multiple times, most prominently to defeat Lorenzo in GX season 2.
While the infinite loop with Rex Goodwin was plausible, keep in mind Yusei had Scrubbed Raid ready to stop that on a dime, should Rex attack with either of his two Synchros. Using Wiraqocha Rasca to instead drop everybody to 1 LP one by one was honestly the better play.
@@mitchellslaughter2963 awesome
"Monster cardo" yugi vs weevil in the doma arc
It's definitely a classic, but sadly doesn't count. It has a clearly defined end point, aka when the top card isn't a monster card. Plus it's just 1 card's effect doing everything.
I believe Kenzans effect could only active when he has less LP. So he only could’ve used it before the last attack actually went through.
There is actually another loop with Bohman. When he dueled Blue Maiden the effect of his hydradrive (monarch, I think?) would make aoi send a monster to the graveyard of the same attribute after attacking. This almost occurred twice;she used a trap to banish her monsters the first time. But the second time she was not able to
Yep, the Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch OTK loop.
We not gonna talk about the loop yugi used to destroy 3 gods at once? Thats my favorite loop.
12:48 Like a true Yu-Gi-Oh player
The tcg ruling is if a card is causing an infinite loop a judge decides what card is the biggest problem and the card is sent to grave. If its an optional loop like what the Six Samurai can do you can just say you are gonna do it X amount of times
Only if the infinite loop does not change the game state (ex. by forcing a player to draw cards, by dealing LP damage, etc.) in any way. Infinite loops that eventually cause a player to lose are 100% legal.
@@cameraredeye3115 if they cause a player to loose, they ain't infinite.
Infinity plus one is hilarious
I fell into that Dark Zexal loop at Number 5 once
I'm kind of surprised that Yugi's play against Weevil using Berserker Soul isn't here even as a technicality. While it isn't a loop in terms of multiple cards being used in a repetitive combo, it is a set of repeated actions nonetheless. On top of that, it's pretty much iconic as the moment you say "Monsta Caddo", just about EVERY Yu-Gi-Oh fan knows exactly which moment you're talking about.
Hell if you use it (or "monsta cardo"), in a search here on YT or literally any search engine, you get the video, you get memes referencing the clip... just really surprised it wasn't included.
in regards to Hassleberry vs Sho
Ultimate Tyranno must attack all monsters the opponent controls once each, the player still has to take the action of declaring an attack, they just don't have the ability to leave the battle phase until Tyranno has attacked everything, giving hassleberry a window before he declares his next attack to use Jurrasic Impact.
Speaking of Strings, i actually tried to reverse engineer the duel in order to figure out how many cards he had in his Deck. Aside from the final cuts of him drawing during the infinite loop, if Strings started with a 40-card Deck, then he would only have around 8 cards left by the time the loop is triggered if my math is right. I'll recheck to be sure, but I'm positive that im right.
I love yuri loop alot.
Yugis controlled loop using Breaker the Magical Warrior and Berserker Soul against Weevil.
My favourite loop moment is the one in the duel of Yusei vs Yuri.
Declan Akaba W🗣🔥🔥
His loop is very high! One of my all time favorites
@@YugiohEverything does this only pertain to short or long loops ?
-Rex goodwin with his sun and moon dragons
-crow's BW returning to the field at the cost of 400 lp
-Quinton's dyson sphere using OVL units to negate attacks
The reason why we got these loop moments is that the cards in the loop aren’t a once per turn.
Off the top of my head, I can only think of Yami vs Strings, Declan vs Roget, Yugi vs Aigami, and Yuma vs Vector
No idea if Kaito vs Mizael counts, cause technically Mizael could've kept attacking but he ran out of ATK points to halve
@@jayd.doubledubs it depends. Are we talking about short for a while or infinite loop? Like for example, Dyson Sphere can negate attacks and retrieve overlay units from GY
Mizael's loop had a cutoff point per the effect of Tachyon Downfall Cannon. That cutoff point was triggered when Neo Tachyon's ATK went below 500. Hence there was no chance for him to win that turn.
Funny how most famous loop in history isn't even legal. Once your Revival Jam that you took control of is destroyed it should be revived on String's side of the field given that he was the original owner of the card.
It's only technically legal in Battle City/Duelist Kingdom Rules because there if you took a card from your opponent and it is destroyed it goes to your graveyard
It's how the cards worked in the anime. Brain Control takes control of Revival Jam for the entire turn. It's the same monster indifferent of the location. So the revival happens on the field of the current owner as it's yours in grave also. For that turn the monster was Yugi's. We got something different where you don't get to put things in your deck, grave and it's not the same monster. We would need to mark monsters. X is mine, x2 is yours. It's to simplify it for us, though we also need to keep check of what monster got revived, specialed etc... Think monsters that can only be summoned and use effects once they got summoned properly.
Top ten loops - on #1 Fruit Loops
A top 10 Yugioh cheaters in the entire anime series would be cool, there were a lot in DM but we also had some in GX 5Ds and Zexxal namely that Racoon and Flip
When you mentioned that infinite loops are illegal, technically that's not entirely true. I believe you were using IRL YGO for reference on what the two types of loops are, in which case I must mention that infinite loops were only ever illegal if they didn't result the end of the game, so things like deckout and burn infinite loops have always been legal.
Also in IRL YGO, they have fixed the rules a few years back to make it to where an infinite loop that doesn't result in the end of the game and therefore serves no useful function will be stopped by the destruction of the card that is the most responsible for the loop happening.
What about Yugi's loop against Atem in their final duel? The one he used to beat the 3 Egyptian god cards
Oh yeah i forgot about the one against Antinomy, probably because it never actually went off.
You should rank the premier of all of the protagonists ace monsters
How did Luke's combo against Goha Yuga not make it?
Oh it was sourced from Discord that makes sense
Wasn’t there a loop in the Blue Maiden vs Bohman duel, where Aoi put herself into a corner by summoning her monsters in DEF as a buffer when simply not doing so or summoning in ATK would’ve given her an additional turn and stopped the loop preemptively?
The Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch OTK loop, you mean? Yeah, she wasn't surviving that turn regardless. Bohman had a card in hand that likely would've gotten him the win.
@@cameraredeye3115 That’s the one.
Sho isn't a bad duelist, his W/L ratio is phenomenal.
Reiji’s loop is my favorite. Am I biased because D/D/Ds are one of my favorite decks and Reiji was my favorite character in Arc-V? Yes. Yes it is.
How about Yugi’s loop to defeat the God cards vs Atem. Destroy his own monsters. Then use magnetic reverse to summon Valkerian. Slifer’s second mouth attack. Magnetic reverse to redirect attack bSck at Atem’s monsters. Then split Valketian to summon 3 magnet warriors. Forcing Slifer to attack again. Triggering trap again. You realize if Slifer had more life points, Ygi could keep repeating thAt sequence by summoning Valketian/3 Magnet warriors.
I think Reiji would deserve first place, for two reasons.
First, there is a meta vindication aspect to it: in the first season of Arc V, it seemed that the intrusion penalty was decided by Reiji and didn't apply to, say, the fusion dimension, which was heavily criticized for, so using it to his advantage against a fusion duelist was cathartic. And second, all other loops solved in-duel problems, this loop defeated an off-game CHEAT.
However, I also lied. Because it would deserve first place on this list, true, but the actual first place would go to a loop that is not on the list, a more conditional and non-infinite loop (but to me, if we count Playmaker and Dark Side of Dimension, that are more combos, this counts too), and the one who actually defeated a God. Because Atem against Strings sidestepped a God, defeating the opponent instead of the monster, but Yugi merging a unmerging the magnet warriors against Atem actually managed to defeat and destroy not one, but three Egyptian Gods.
Anime effects only the REAL Card game is supposed to not have Infinite Loops work in game that's why cards like the Pole Position Trap card got banned in the actual card game since it could be used for a infinite loop turn.
A loop I was expecting to see didn't make the list. I had to double check to see if it was a loop. I thought of Yugi using Magnet Force against Slifer by summoning Valkyrion, then the magnet warrior pieces that made him in succession to destroy the 3 gods. However, upon rewatching the scene, I think calling it a loop would be incorrect since another card was activated to bring Valkyrion back to use the effect again. I misremembered the scene.
That would be a loop because a cycle of effects repeats itself.
Surprised you didn't use Judai's Glow Moss Draw loop from Episode 72 of Yugioh GX?
Yuri did the most busted loop of all time and it was insane
Hot Take: Yuya's Lame Loop should've been Number 9 while Yusei's Potential Loop should've been 10. Since it's only a Potential Loop that never actually happened, it should be at the lowest point on the list (or as a honorable mention if there were more actual loops)
There is no next turn🗣️🔥
Number 1 is also exta good cause its the first time someone won by deck out
by your logic, you should have included Monstaa Cardo as a loop as well
Can you do a video of the top deaths in yugioh
How dare you copy me? 😡😂
I think everyone knew Yugi VS Slifer was going to be number 1, nothing else could beat that. I'd put Yugi VS Aigami as number 2 but Slifer is easily number 1.
I'm actually surprised that each master duel anime has at least one infinite loop !
By the way, in the Yusei vs Antinomy duel, I think he used a loop in the end to continuously burn antinomy, or am I remembering it wrong ?
no Yugi's loop vs Athem?
Just double checked revival jam and number one is an illegal loop due to the fact yugi should have lost 1000 life points and revival jam would have returned during the next main phase on top of that it’s effect only activates when it’s destroyed in battle
You are forgetting the loop that crow did in 5ds
@@kingomar2011 PEAK! The 400 dmg. It's limited to once per duel in DL
What about Yugi vs Atem taking out the three Egyptian Gods?
Expected "Yugi vs Weevil- Berserker Soul" loop. Atem had ability to control what to draw with luck boost. Literally he "overkill" and kept going. Tea was the one who stopped him.
Would yugi versus weevil count as a loop or was he just very lucky to keep drawing monster cards?
I'll summoned a monster with infinite attack points
Well I summoned a monster with infinite an 1
Hay guys maybe y'all can help me understand why my Harmonic Synchro Fusion (HSF) card wouldn't activate in Master Duel.
I have 2 dark type Rose Dragons on the field. One a tuner and one a non-tuner. I met the condition for HSF by having those monsters on the field but Master Duel wouldn't let me activate it. I was gonna bring out Starving Venom Fusion Dragon and Black Rose MoonLight Dragon with HSF. 2 dark type monsters for the fusion and 2 compatible Synchro materials what gives????
For the same reason you cannot use Ultra Polymerization's GY effect on Starving Venom, Harmonic Synchro Fusion checks if the Fusion can be summoned using the monsters in the GY, however, Starving Venom can only be summoned using monsters on the field, which means it cannot be brought via HSF
My favorite loop is yugi vs weevil, draw monster cardo
OTES
Number 6: It's called cheating. Deal with it.
Bro where’s Lukes loop vs Goha
Yugi vs atem isnt a loop? When he destroyed the 3 god cards?
Time to ruin the anime logic. Brain Control wouldn't apply after Revival Jam is destroyed. Revival Jam would special summon to Strings' field and Slifer's effect wouldn't activate.
The Darfluid one isnt a loop
Hate to be that guy but ACTUALLY 🤓 revival jam would be summoned to string's field so the loop wouldn't work.
Battle City had different rules
Where is
Beserker soul, played against Wevel?
It has the potential to be a loop, and in the anime it was.
"Draw... monster cardo. Draw ..... monster cardo!! Draw... monster cardo!!!!"
Yugi vs Dartz quite frankly bugged me with the absurd infinite +1, really felt like a cop out/plot armor nonsense. (Still my favorite of the Ygo anime series... but to be honest I am a bit of a boomer. xD)
Also here is an idea for a new video:
Top 10 momentum swings in a duel, where someone is losing, and they are able to turn it around and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. (Kind of like how kaiba walked to the edge to stop yugi from killing the blue eyes ultimate dragon, perhaps how joey is often able to use time wizard to age monsters and win.
Just a small correction, there's no Infinite +1, the fused Timaeus and Geh both destroyed themselves, however fused Timaeus floats into the 3 Knights after it's destroyed
@@jacksbrow182 Appreciate the correction, It is/was a confusing moment in the anime. That or it was a bad dub that I watched. lol
Either way I was wrong. ^^
@spacebartoloud yeah, people point out that the dub makes some duels a bit confusing to say the least, they don't properly explain some effects
Even if it was infinite+1, you can theoretically compare 2 infinities, then declare the victor based on that comparison. If one is +1 for each iteration and one is x2 for each iteration, then the x2 is the victorious monster. A bit more complicated than declaring a draw because it's infinite and infinite or invalidity, but you can declare a winner. Heck, take an equip that is always +100 attack over the opponent's monster. Now the opponent has an infinite monster. Your monster can be the victor because yours is in every point x+100, where x is the value your opponent has at that point.
first in every thing
Appreciate the support!! :)
Yeah...I get it The Silent One is the most famous.
But Reiji really should have been number 1.
That wasn't just a brilliant play, it was also just a giant flex and dominance assertion that shows WHY Reiji is so strong. He didn't just beat Roget, he broke him
And it was beautiful.
I speak as a biased fanboy of Reiji who desperately wanted D/D/D to come to the tcg and waited in frustration as we were denied and it was pushed back so far it got Powercrept 2 weeks later.
Yuri's duels were really boring for me, honestly forgot about his loop.
