- "Alright Joey. You asked for my best, and I intend to gvie it." - "Yugi, I wont insult you by giving you anything less than my all. I'm gonna come att you hard right from the start." The beginning of a masterpiece from the Yu-Gi-Oh series.
No lie, I got choked up when Atem had tears in his eyes and said “you played a valiant duel my friend, and this is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make”
"I use Reborn the Monster to call the Blackskull Dragon back from the Graveyard..." "...Then... it's over... ...you know what, Yug, it's cool... go on buddy..."
Now that I finally found this song I can make this memorial dedication to my childhood best friend Eddie 1984- 2001 we ran together in life and I swore we'd meet again in death. I will see you again my brother, no matter what.

+Juwan Giddens From MCDONALDS?! My sister had to place fifth in a yugioh tournament to get this thing! and we could just have gotten it from mcdonalds?! I feel cheated.
@@lyledrake6879 Actually, if the CD your sister won was 'Songs to Duel by', and had 15 tracks, then it wasn't the same as the mcdonalds one, lol. Those only had like 3 or 4 songs? Anyway, I think I bought the CD from Toys R Us or something back then, 2002 give or take.

iSango5050 looks like friendship isn't so stupid after all in the world of yugioh im just saying for all the people who thought friendship in yugioh was so stupid
Its that right kind of anime corny ..for a kids show its pretty good ...its dramatic heartfelt and positive ...its harmless ...but yeah its lame and meh
20 years later and I can still see Yugi attacking Joey with Dark Sage with tears in his eyes. “You fought valiantly my friend, and this is the hardest move I’ve ever had to make”
@@zzskyninjazz1821 I just went back and watched the episode, you are absolutely right :) my bad, it’s been a while :) Thanks for being that guy though, that episode was an emotional rollercoaster
@@niaedmonds3342yea man good times jus playing cards on the floor as kid staying up all nite running same duel sometimes we'd switch decks my lil bros friend loved yugioh jus care free kids playing cards mainly structure decks wish I still had those decks bet those cards are in bad condition lol
I stated crying when they said "We will be best friends for ever" because i had a friend and we knew each other for a very long time and we were seriously like brothers. We had known each other since when were both 3 and we promised we would always be there for each other. We would always listen to this song and play yugioh and 2 years ago he passed away......... Rest in peace
Friendship like that goes past life and death, Joey and yogis friendship in this series proves it I know it. My condolences may he rest in peace. Tell him I said hi when u see him again
It also showed how much was on the line: yugi's grandpa's and the kaiba brothers souls and the prize money that could save joey's sister from going blind
Used to watch this with my younger siblings on saturday mornings, We are no longer on speaking terms, Life happens, No matter where you guys are I carry you guys In my heart, No matter where I go or what I must do, I love you guys, No matter what. Love endures, People do not.
Man died an absolute hero. I’ve found in the last 18 months that every emotional moment in this series has become more so because the man who gifted it to us was such a good person
what a great song. yugioh is my favorite anime and i miss it so much. joey is my favorite character, he was so funny and ignorant but with the heart of gold. his bromance with yugi was something special especially considering how they started, i wish i had a friend like him. i wish they would go back and continue the original yugioh.
Totally man He's an adorable dufus. Clumsy at the mouth, but loyal to a fault and with a heart of gold. Even having his own moment or two to shine as both a duelist and as a person. Joey and Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho will always be top tier to me for these exact reasons.
Yugi,i once was at a ycs and a guy had a pc hooked up to a few amps i went up to him and told him to play this half of the people dueling started crying and started singing along ,i was dressed like you and there was a guy dressed up like joey and we both a duel disks and dueled with your decks (true story)
What I loved about the original yugioh is that the final villain didn't come out of nowhere. Bakura was scene as a minor villain through out the series.
Honestly, this song fits me and one of my real life friends, We have known each other since elementary school and are closer to each other than with our own siblings, so this song really hits me in the feels.
When Yami-Yugi and Joey Duel each other i cried after their battle because their friendship never got broken apart they always had each back and they dueled with honor and respect and for their families like yugi saving his grandfather Solomon Muto and joey dueled for his sister serenity wheeler
This song speaks to me cause I broke off a friendship with someone who I was friends with since middle school because of a REALLY stupid argument over Super Smash Bros.
I never watched Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid, but this song is just too perfect. I don't care, they literally put effort into making a random cheesy montage flashback song and it's too perfect.
I love how No Matter What can be used in fun ways when dueling my friends IRL. I love how it speaks to an inner conflict within Yugi and Atem. Neither of them *wants* to hurt Joey. They hold back and give everything to save him from Marik whilst also grappling with the weight of having to save the world and "do what must be done". I loved the entire "Screw everything Yugi if we go down we go down but at least we'll go down swinging" mentality. Takahashi was truly beyond his time when it comes to writing.
I watch alot of anime, and even though this is done by 4kids it still has alot of emotions in this anime like when yugi gets his soul taken by the orichalcos. Such a great anime this song always makes me have those feels ;c
RIP to my big brother. I’m now older than you ended up in your life. I love you more than anyone, Mike. Thank you so much for being my best friend. I will never forget you
When I was little i had older brother with who i played yugioh and listend to this song.Unfortunatly he passed away before 3 years and i sang this song on his funeral.
You really need to see the shop in sub to understand the bond between yugi and joey. I only saw a few episodes. Must watch the whole thing someday. Rip Kazuki Takahashi ❤
this will always be my favorite episode of all time. yugioh was huge reason got into anime kinda save my life plus this song made it possiable. those days mcdonalds had kid meals with two mystery yugioh cards and cd played songs from show. i reapeat this song over and over. miss those days.
I have been trying to find if this song is available on iTunes. Amazing music and songs like this, I do have an amazing reason why I try to find it and listen to it. It’s because I try my best all the time to live my life in the right directions,plus to remind myself of who my amazing best friends are in my life…Forever!
of coarse not!! keep the friends who you love, trust, and count on close to you as long as you can and enjoy the times you've had or will have with them. Never take them for granted or else they'll disappear!
DaNileChannel basically every time i ask my friend to hang out with me and my other mates he always bails on me and on our graduation night he bailed on me and my girlfriend to stay home and get drunk :( so unfortunately i had to cut him loose
Bullet-Sky O'Connor that's unfortunate..:( I am sorry to hear that. drugs, alcohol, or whatever you call it - can have that affect on ones mind and bring them to the state of thinking that, "nothing matters" or "who cares"... it can be a dangerous mind set but I cannot say for certain if your friend is facing this. Maybe he needs help even though it may seem that he is perfectly fine and that's just the person he is.
- "Alright Joey. You asked for my best, and I intend to gvie it."
- "Yugi, I wont insult you by giving you anything less than my all. I'm gonna come att you hard right from the start."
The beginning of a masterpiece from the Yu-Gi-Oh series.
Ayoooooooo pause

Yet have no friend
Well say goodbye to 3000 puppies.
XD Same
DukeDarkshadow lol
NO MATTER WHAT
Yugi wished on the puzzle for a best friend and he got Joey...
Jordan Meadows lol that shade and he got Joey...
Spat my drink out lmao
Buy Yugi thought that it was the pharaoh xD
XxAsh KetchumxX// Roblox and games it was the gang tbh
I wonder if yugi knew hed b getting joey as a friend he wouldve wished for something else
20 years later and I can still see Yugi attacking Joey with Dark Sage with tears in his eyes.
“You fought valiantly my friend, and this is the hardest move I’ve ever had to make”
Not to be that guy but he didn’t attack with dark sage, he used monster reborn to bring back black skull dragon from the graveyard

I remember the first time they showed this song, right before they had to duel eachother in Duelist Kingdom. Their bond of friendship
It also showed how much was on the line: yugi's grandpa's and the kaiba brothers souls and the prize money that could save joey's sister from going blind
+silver12sonic heh we all knew tht yugi wa going to give joey the money

i kinda did too
The friendship between Yugi and Joey/Jonouchi was the literal heart of the original series.
Wish the original creator of Yu-Gi-Oh was still alive RIP thanks for the memories

Anyone else think this song would've worked well during the duel between Yugi and Atem?
Definitely
The stakes were a little different for their duel though, they both wanted the same outcome.
No because this song was made about Joey and yugi best friend
hmm that or another song i mean why didnt they have a song for atems last duel
Yes
1:34
"Let the final match of the Duelist Kingdom Tournament begin!"
"Let's duel!"
what a great song. yugioh is my favorite anime and i miss it so much. joey is my favorite character, he was so funny and ignorant but with the heart of gold. his bromance with yugi was something special especially considering how they started, i wish i had a friend like him. i wish they would go back and continue the original yugioh.
Hell yes
Totally man
He's an adorable dufus. Clumsy at the mouth, but loyal to a fault and with a heart of gold. Even having his own moment or two to shine as both a duelist and as a person.
Joey and Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho will always be top tier to me for these exact reasons.
2015 and I'm still watching this show. I love this show. No matter what!!!
2019.
2020 jist watch it all on netflix lol
2020. Still watch it.
2020 dec 1
2021
A MUST HAVE IN YOUR WORKOUT PLAYLIST
I am addicted to the anime
Shadowgames
hey Yu-Gi-Oh is a real good show
I remember this song it shows how Yu gi feels about dueling against his best friend Joey, I just miss duelists kingdom it was the best season ever.
Whoever performed this channeled some serious crush 40 energy and it’s flawless
TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I recently began a rewatch of Yugioh, and I just finished Duelist Kingdom last week. This fight was as hyped as I remember it being 20 years ago
I love this song!! A tribute to Yugi and Joey!!
Anyone came back to listen to this masterpiece in 2022?
I love this song.
Yugi,i once was at a ycs and a guy had a pc hooked up to a few amps i went up to him and told him to play this half of the people dueling started crying and started singing along ,i was dressed like you and there was a guy dressed up like joey and we both a duel disks and dueled with your decks (true story)
Oh Yugi, this brings me back, remember....friends forever
I remember tearing up when I first watched this episode. Loved waking up every Saturday morning to watch yugioh.
We all came to see Yugi save his grandfather, we stayed to watch Joey kick Bandit Keith's ass
What I loved about the original yugioh is that the final villain didn't come out of nowhere. Bakura was scene as a minor villain through out the series.
Out of all the things that don't make me cry, why does this make me cry so much???
THIS SONG IS BOSSSSSS YUGIOH FOREVER
I hear you
this song symbolizes how much shit that Joey and Yugi been through
And they been through a lot of shit
too true
I'm 26
dude, I prefer the first season over the latest one
the original crew was good enough for me
“We were closer than brothers..
.. and now we gotta fight each other..!”
There’s no way this man didn’t freestyle this song while on HARD drugs 😭😭😭
TRUE
2024 who’s still here with the heart of the cards?
Honestly, this song fits me and one of my real life friends, We have known each other since elementary school and are closer to each other than with our own siblings, so this song really hits me in the feels.
My friend and I, that I knew since middle school and too this day, we would enter tourneys, get to finals, and split the prize lmao. Good times.
I feel this song would do well to pay respect to mr takahasi and to bring us together as a community, new and old, for him
This was, is n will always b my favorite duel of the series n it came with an awesome song
When you think about Saturday Mornings, when you think about Kids WB.
Thank you and goodbye good sir 🙏. May you rest in peace!.
When Yami-Yugi and Joey Duel each other i cried after their battle because their friendship never got broken apart they always had each back and they dueled with honor and respect and for their families like yugi saving his grandfather Solomon Muto and joey dueled for his sister serenity wheeler
This song speaks to me cause I broke off a friendship with someone who I was friends with since middle school because of a REALLY stupid argument over Super Smash Bros.
I started to cry when Yugi and Joey started to duel and when they started to play this song
I never watched Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid, but this song is just too perfect. I don't care, they literally put effort into making a random cheesy montage flashback song and it's too perfect.
The Nostalgia! This scene and this song always makes me choke up.
I still have childhood memories of watching YuGiOh on Saturday mornings. Life was so much better and simpler back then.
Yugi hat Glück so gute Freunde zu haben. Die immer ihn unterstützen, egal was auch passiert. Ihre Freundschaft ist stärker als alles andere.
Did anyone else cry while listening to this?
No I was just cutting onions 😭
It was the onions, I swear
me
i did
No but I wanted to
I play this song in my head when I feel like giving up on my grown up goals but need a push
I saw the final part where the episode decided the winner. lol, it was great, I loved it when I was in junior high and I still like it even now.
Rip Senpie
Let the match begin.
Let's duel!

is this an actual song or is this really from yugioh
+Faraz Tahir this is purely from yugioh. hence the line "and we trust our fate to the heart of the cards"
+Faraz Tahir both lol this is the full version
+Faraz Tahir It's a song off of the Music To Duel By album. A short version was used in the show and was the first time the song was broadcasted

Sin duda uno de los mejores duelos de Yugioh

Arc v is best
GX is best
Theghost5678 Nope, ZEXAL is the best.

I agree, they should make another with yugi and atem do much better than the others
It brings me back good memories, Yugi vs Joey!
This song is so damn good. 🙌
yugioh truly was a masterpiece. one of a kind.
*Sighs* Kinda wish I had a close friend like Yugi and Joey. Would be quite entertaining.
I'll be ya close friend man!! :D Game on! ^__^
Wonderful I have a friend! :3
Sup dude!! :D nice to meet ya ^__^

Maybe he needs help even though it may seem that he is perfectly fine and that's just the person he is.
This is the synthesis of beauty and cruelty, vivacity and decay, the ephemeral and the eternal. Truly inspiring.

Hey remember when they used to promote their shows with soundtracks like that? Kind of miss those days...
is this on spotify? if not where can i download it?
This is the song that got me hyped to go out there, make friends, and duel like crazy.
