Monsters, for some fucking reason
They do the same joke with the pirate captain from season 3 of Arc-V. I love the implication that these themed jobber Yugioh characters are all ordinary dudes doing a bit.
@kataphrut7740 Let's be honest, if the prizing is anything like real life, there is no way career duality are getting the bills paid from tournaments alone. 5 bucks says the acts and costumes are requests from sponsors/the yugioh equivalent to patreon or ways to attract sponsors
No one brought up the genetically modified chimp (made specifically for dueling, and had an ape based deck) that had robotic implants that kidnapped a student of duel academy in GX. He’s always the best
To explain how Jaiden resolved Solemn against Jinzo, I believe Jinzo was actually destroyed and sent to the graveyard so he wasn’t actually on field and tried to summon himself back with Call of the Haunted, which Jaiden negated.
@@majickmanNot sure if it's different in the anime, but because jinzo's effect is continuous, it's only applicable if it's on the field face up, meaning If you try to normal summon jinzo, solemn judgment can negate the summon since jinzo is not yet on the field. If you try to special summon jinzo with another card's effect, like call of the haunted, or monster reborn, solemn judgment can respond to these card's activation and negate them, stopping the attempt to special summon jinzo. Solemn judgment also can't respond to something like an activated monster effect that special summons a monster, but it can still negate an inherent special summon. Same with activated effects of spell and trap cards that are not being activated on the field but in the graveyard or banished zone, or effects of already active continuous traps, or spells, and field spells, since those are using their effects, but they're already past the initial activation. Sorry if you already know a lot of this, but i also figured i would explain it in depth in case anyone in general finds it useful.
MBT filmed this last night and sent it to Dire like, “Hey I need you to find clips of all the most obscure random 1 off forgettable YGO characters of all time.” And gave them a 24hr deadline. AND DIRE DID IT 👏👏👏
I will never forget that 1 High Ass Kid that played Mokey Mokey and the school had in containment liek he was a SCP for some reason, just to never appear again. Like,, did nobody thought that his power to make everyone fall asleep would come in handy when they all become zombies or something?
Belowski appeared twice in the show. The second time was during the 2nd season's tournament. He took down a Dancing Goblin duelist who was pretty much an Elvis impersonator.
There’s a fan theory going around the kid Belowski may have psychic energy but that energy had the power to turn monsters and people to sleep with affects similar to narcolepsy. Dude has to stay chill to not die including emotional triggers hence the prison like sphere their in some distance away from duel academy. It may relate to the Arcadia movement in 5DS which Akiza and Luna interest as they appear to have higher psychic energy and ability to connect to duel Spirits much easier. Not sure how true that is but it is a fun fan theory. And at least this about humans as channels for duel monsters is story consistency in the anime versions of yugioh.
The fact that the king jobber Bastion Misawa himself wasn't a part of this video amazes me. Dude didn't just get jobbed by Jaden, he got jobbed by other main characters, side characters, and espcially the writers. I'm pretty sure he's literally only remembered for his hot Duel Monster girlfriend who is *LITERALLY AMAZONESS TIGER* disguised as a human.
Hey now, Bastion has SOME wins under his belt. He beat the instructor at the entrance exams. He beat Chazz. He beat some random Obelisk Blue student who's claim to fame is having the only on-screen appearance of a Charmer-adjacent card (Familiar-Possessed Hiita).
Remember when he had a guaranteed win against Chazz and threw because he thought he'd be more accepted in the Society of Light? Writers definitely jobbed him more than any other character managed to.
5:38 Gill is from the Fortune Cup arc in 5Ds, episode 16. He's Aki's first opponent and just there to show how badass Aki is.

Let's see here... Teppei/Trout (guy whi gave us Fisherman III), Captain Solo from Arc-V who played that floodgate monsters Captain Lock, and the Tennis Guy from GX who was simping for Alexis are my favorites.
And Orbital has a crush on her. He picks a fight with Yuma because he thinks Lilybot is Yuma's servant and he needs to beat Yuma in order to ask her out I swear to God.
the most memorable for me is that one gambler guy from Zexal that plays Number 7: Lucky Straight with his level 7 turbo deck (not Kashtira). The most peak part is that he had an affair with Yuma's big sister. "Can't beat the protag? yea Imma swing on his sis"
This guy quintupled his LP twice but when he lost his luck he refused to accept it and decided to bet his 200000 for no reason and of course he fails and gets back to 4000
My all time favorite jobber is that dude who was voiced by fucking goku who fought zane in a cage match where every time you lose life points you take a fucking electric shock. Then zane summons like a 10k attack chimeratech overdragon and basically just fuckin murders him.
GX has so many of these guys. The guy who just cosplays Yugi, the stoner dude on Mokey Mokey, the genetically engineered dueling monkey, the Tarzan knockoff, the pirate captain, Don Zaloog (like the actual monster Don Zaloog and all his Dark Scorpion friends), the sea captain, the tennis guy, that guy in the cage match who randomly had a baby voice in the dub, the game show host...Like I love GX but sometimes it didn't even seem real.
5:57 As someone in chat pointed out, this guy doesn't disappear, he becomes a background character showing up in a couple future episodes. One in particular has him (100ish LP) beat Yuma (3800 LP) by nuking his monsters with Mirror Force and summoning Arcana Joker Knight for game.
The best part of the rush duel jobbers is that almost all of them appear multiple times. They don't just disappear after their first appearance. In GX characters like the noodle ninja or the talking massage chair would have been one-off characters, but in Sevens and Go Rush they're major recurring characters.
• Lucien Grimley from GX, a student who straight up made a pact with the Grim Reaper: dude was willing to sell his soul just to be have better luck and drawing power for his Slash Draw FTK deck • Radley/Ramon from 5Ds, the gang leader Kalin worked for during the Crash Town arc and who had a single duel... in which he got immediately defeated by Lawton's burn deck on the opening turn, therefore we didn't even get to see what he plays (but hey, at least he plays Hamon and the Crystal Beasts in the 2011 DS game for some reason) • The Triad of Terror from Zexal, three American duel mercenaries whose Magnet decks worked together as one and which were hired by the Arclight family to defeat Yuma during the Duel Carnival
Chief Armstrong from 5Ds. He's the warden at the Facility, a fat bully who picks and throws his nose hairs, he challenges yusei to a duel, tries to win by forefit because lol no cards until Yusei reveals every inmate gave him their one special card and through some weird synergies like Kick Man and Axe of Despair yusei was able to in the end beat him with Blasting the Ruins. So he tried to go back on the deal and have Yusei and his friend Alex thrown in the hole till Rex Goodwin who was watching comes in, fires his ass and lets Yusei, Alex, Bolt Tanner and Yanagi go free.
The zexal manga has a piece of sentient corn possessed by the soul of a pirate captain who’s heard the corn was stuck on in life This is why number 50: blackship of corn exists
Which is an actually very important monster in competitive YGO. I've used Cornship plenty of times in meadowlands, HAT and drafted formats because it is a better dire wolf quite often.
I think my favorite part of the bit with Lorenzo shuffling Jaden's Deck was that it was to prevent him from drawing Neos after Jaden had moved it to the top of his Deck with Hero Call, and then Jaden just ends up topdecking Neos on his next turn anyway and winning the whole game
Damon(the Tarzan guy from GX) is also notable because he introduces DRAWING THE OUT as a learnable skill, which people occasionally use to explain that Yugi wasnt cheating with Heart Of The Cards, he was just really good at drawing cards lmao
We also see young duelists doing draw drills every so often. Like, Judai and the gang got up early in the morning, and were just practicing drawing the out like they were doing kata. The headmaster's cyber archetype themed dojo up in the mountains also did this. Ryo drawing three cydras and a poly (the cards to summon Cyber End Dragon) proved his training was complete, marking him worthy to inherit the card.
@@Starmag99 i didnt remember thar but its funny that it works thematically, as YGO loves the whole "forge your destiny stuff", but is really really bizarre in the context of an actual card game.
"Yugi cheated! Get it guys? Cheated! I'm so funny" Drawing the out or rather changing your whole fate because you really want it has been part of the series from the veru begining.
My favorite random jobber is probably bob banter from gx, who is a play on bob barker and basically uses a jeopardy deck archetype. I honestly love the concept and how 1/3 of the deck is basically making the opponent do physical exercise challenges
1:35 this dude is like an entire ass character in the duel academy gba game 😭 like multiple of these gx guys are entire characters you can duel bc there was no one else
This video just reminded me of the guy in go rush with a sentient hat who claims he can see the future only for it to be revealed that he was saying shit that happened in a gag manga. And then its revealed that the sentient hat aliens actually CAN see the future and the antagonist of the arc has one I love rush so much lmao
I think you're talking about Nomura, the false prophet. Ironically, that character had more frequent appearances in other Arcs: being a member of MIK and then being a character that allowed the Main Group to have access to a secret meeting in another Arc. The Hat Aliens's power to see the future is also developed in another Arc.
the tomato guy has been seared into my brain because of the 3ds game where he's a duelable npc. i don't know why i dueled him this much, but from the amount of times i did, i probably have the mechanics of his entire archetype locked away in the back of my mind.
Go Rush is a head-trip and a half for the side characters they create and then allow to simply exist through multiple episodes. They have: - Badrap, the talking pigeon who serves as head secretary to the largest manufacturing company on the planet - Chupataro, a Chupacabra weeaboo who is obsessed with a sheep magical girl named Meeeg-chan and tricks the main cast into making an anime for him - Tremolo, the smarmy younger brother to a racist space dragon named Phaser and yet he somehow owns his own harem of anime waifus - Energy Copyco, a dominatrix police woman who owns a whip, can copy anyone she meets down to their deck, voice and personality, duels using a hand-puppet of the person she's copying, defeats 5 members of the main cast in one episode and then is never mentioned again - Ishida, a literal cave child who lives by the river in a house made of rocks, quoting the Flintstones and eating rocks - Goalko, sister to another side-character and a 3-meter tall alien woman who disguises herself as a basketball hoop to scare random passers into giving her free food because she is lazy and hates work
Can we all agree the character that deserves the title Jobber More then any is Sylvio Sawatari He appears in so many episodes and has so many listed duels. But he gets just schooled everytime. He’s even the first person to duel Yuto. And loses on turn 3 like a chump.
Shoutout to the guy in GX that sold his soul to the grim reaper (not the Death God in S4) so he could open Slash Draw FTK every single duel. But then lost to Jaden anyways.
Because Jaden managed to get him to realize that "....shit, doing this ain't fun at all", making the guy BREAK HIS CONTRACT AND SOMEHOW NOT GET PUNISHED, SWITCHED WHAT HANDS HE DUELED WITH SO THE REAPER COULDN'T INFLUENCE THE GAME ANY MORE AND ACTUALLY GOT CLOSE TO HIS FTK ANYWAY BEFORE JADEN WON
The duelist against the Hanoi guy is in Duel Links as an NPC and is even on a Tag Duel playmat. I even have ideas for good decks for him. I would like it if he were added as a playable character, along with the neko girl in VRAINS world and Saburamen in Sevens (FFS they give us Noodle Ninjas with TWO ideal pilots in the alien chica and him! I also love the voice of the English voice actor for the character. The dude deserves more work!), and OF COURSE, TOUR GUIDE. The devs even gave her a great deck!!! Rocking Speeder to turbo out Coral Dragon, while also getting out Djinn XYZ. It actually slaps for a mid-power deck!
That guy didn't just go Tarzan to learn drawing the out, he did that by practicing drawing cards from a cascade that had a bunch of cards on it, I love GX.
My favorite part about Johnny Steps is that he’s a one-panel NPC from the manga who they just randomly decided to give an entire character in the anime
my favorite is the mokey mokey player from gx whos such a massive stoner they literally locked him in his own special vault bcus his aura alone made people green out. godspeed.
My favourite was The guy from GX that had a pure luck deck and was supposed to be a great gambler with incredible luck but as it turns out, he was somehow cursed to always miss the first coin toss so he was unable to play without second coin toss
Mine is probably Freaky fish guy #2 and Reed Pepper from Arc V. I usually can't tell when characters are gay for each other but those 2 were loud and clear for me, so either them or Princess Rose. Unrelated but the "Spopovich's Yuzu" is crazy 😂😂
I'd argue quite a few of these guys aren't "jobbers" since quite a few of them haven't lost. Also yes sevens is so fucking good. Obviously for kids but very entertaining and with the best female sub protag Romin Kassidy. They even let her end the series with a positive win rate.
Fun Fact MBT: the duel with Larenzo from GX actually had a funny interaction involving Chains. Jaden had activated a trap card that would allow Neos to be put on top of his deck while also activating another Trap called Hero Climax which would let him draw his top card and if it's a monster, he can summon it to the field. Larenzo then activates a spell that lets him do his reshuffle of Jaden's deck, HOWEVER what is hilarious is that the scene plays up the drama as if him reshuffling forced Neos to be placed at random in the deck and the audience supposedly wouldn't be sure if Neos was on top of the deck anymore. but if you look at the chain sequence for which cards were activated and when, Jaden's trap that lets him put Neos on top of his resolves after Larenzo's spell to reshuffle, so Larenzo did all that reshuffling for absolutely NOTHING because Neos was always going to end up on the top of Jaden's deck because of how Chains work and thus allowed Heros Climax to resolve. i know this is a totally unimportant fact, but i just thought it was hilarious that this is the 2nd time since the Grand Prix where Chains actually mattered in a duel lol
6:01 correction. He shows up first as the dojo master when Yuma goes there, and then in a second episode faces Yuma in a duel when he’s in a funk. He shows up during a later episode of Zexal along with his student and a bunch of others during the start of the Barian invasion arc
Shout out to Mad Dog from GX, from the episode where Zane starts his Hell Kaiser phase. Not just for his voice (A Mike Tyson impresson, i think??) but for how much he clashes with the rest of the episode. Even in the dub, the tone is largely very serious with not many "haha" jokes, but of course this guy makes it *impossible* to take the episode completely seriously
It's supposed to be a Mike Tyson impression, but it's like, the goofiest cartoony mocking voice I've ever heard sustained for more than a single sentence
I legit wish we had Lorenzo join the main cast instead of Tyranno. Not only was he a gamer, but he was just way too entertaining to have him for just one-episode! X3 I loved T-Bone too! I wish we got to see him and Blaze return in the final season, having finally been able to enroll in Duel Academy with Sartorius convincing Kagemaru!
Gotta give shoutout to my favorite fodder character from the current show go rush Maguto Sogetsu (Aka the fish from rush) A LITERAL FISH who talks and walks like a human and only comes around to beat crap out of and knock some sense into one of the main characters manabu after he had a complete mental breakdown and went mad with power. Also they’re brothers… you figure that one out 🐟
It gets better. Manabu is the heir to a prestigious family with a long line of history (seen in Sevens with Gakuto/Gavin Sogetsu's arc) but the moment he runs away from them the current Sogetsu head says "Fuck it, buy the biggest tuna on the market and I'll make it the next heir to the Sogetsu style"
GODS I *NEED* the tennis cards from GX, I NEED to have a deck full of BALLS and also that fucking absurd alt-win card that couldn't possibly get out of hand!
sir Gil fought the rose queen the psychic duelist from 5ds and lost to her plus it turns out his brovodo act and gear is just a facade to get more money. Second the old man who uses the wooden cards that are replicas of yugioh cards also shows up later and uses king queen and jack night plus I think mirror force to beat yuma because he is running due to losing astral and feeling very depressed and talks to him and get him in a better mental state. Both of this is from the dubbed version of the anime that I saw on hula back when that was free except for like the newest eps.
7:52 Fun fact about Scott Irvine! He actually makes an appearance in The Dark Side of Dimensions Movie as well. I believe he was one of scientists working at Kaiba's space elevator.
Very crucial character information: he also has basically his bi awakening when he sees the main character cosplay as said magical girl sheep and goes he's kinda cute actually damn
Do you wanna know the worst part about 7:07? Dog girl literally never shows up again for the rest of the show _or tournament,_ meaning she immediately lost to someone else *off-screen* and Cathy threw the duel for no reason. She was robbed.
How about in GX, that one guy Jaden/Judai though was a Shadow Rider but just wanted to build an underwater Duel Academy, owned a submarine, and played Legendary Ocean and Levia-Dragon - Daedalus turbo, and Jaden wins by using Neo Bubbleman's equip with Bubble Blaster to destroy it with its effect.

The guy who just cosplays Yugi, the stoner dude on Mokey Mokey, the genetically engineered dueling monkey, the Tarzan knockoff, the pirate captain, Don Zaloog (like the actual monster Don Zaloog and all his Dark Scorpion friends), the sea captain, the tennis guy, that guy in the cage match who randomly had a baby voice in the dub, the game show host...Like I love GX but sometimes it didn't even seem real.
He doesn't *just* cosplay Yugi, he net-decks anyone to try and get a win.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 yep. He starts his episode copying Crowler’s ancient gear deck, and he’s so predictable that Syrus gets a rare win.
Wait, I thought the pirate and the submarine guy were the same guy. Were there 2 nautical duelists in GX?
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Am I remembering it wrong or doesn't he also method-act so hard, he eventually starts thinking he's actually the real Yugi?
@@Petsinwinter2 I didn't even realize I said him twice. You're right, they were the same guy.
5:57 As someone in chat pointed out, this guy doesn't disappear, he becomes a background character showing up in a couple future episodes. One in particular has him (100ish LP) beat Yuma (3800 LP) by nuking his monsters with Mirror Force and summoning Arcana Joker Knight for game.
That's amazing
Yeah, he would kinda try and fulfill father figure role for Yuma sometimes, because Yuma's father is too busy being stuck on between dimensions or sth
He also duels against one of the Barians while Yuma goes to Astral World
Didn't he also give Yuma some new cards for his deck? (I think the Melodic Djinn monsters)
Yeah I wanted to point it out too, he's actually kind of an important character
The best part of the rush duel jobbers is that almost all of them appear multiple times. They don't just disappear after their first appearance. In GX characters like the noodle ninja or the talking massage chair would have been one-off characters, but in Sevens and Go Rush they're major recurring characters.
• Lucien Grimley from GX, a student who straight up made a pact with the Grim Reaper: dude was willing to sell his soul just to be have better luck and drawing power for his Slash Draw FTK deck
• Radley/Ramon from 5Ds, the gang leader Kalin worked for during the Crash Town arc and who had a single duel... in which he got immediately defeated by Lawton's burn deck on the opening turn, therefore we didn't even get to see what he plays (but hey, at least he plays Hamon and the Crystal Beasts in the 2011 DS game for some reason)
• The Triad of Terror from Zexal, three American duel mercenaries whose Magnet decks worked together as one and which were hired by the Arclight family to defeat Yuma during the Duel Carnival
Rush character design is FAR closer to peak than I ever dared imagine
Mad Dog deserves a mention too, someone SO FUCKING IRRITATING that the lethal cocktail of him and electrocution led to Hell Kaiser being born
7:47 Téa also has a 100% win rate 😂😂
6:08 Omg it's Joshua Schmidt!
Chief Armstrong from 5Ds.
He's the warden at the Facility, a fat bully who picks and throws his nose hairs, he challenges yusei to a duel, tries to win by forefit because lol no cards until Yusei reveals every inmate gave him their one special card and through some weird synergies like Kick Man and Axe of Despair yusei was able to in the end beat him with Blasting the Ruins. So he tried to go back on the deal and have Yusei and his friend Alex thrown in the hole till Rex Goodwin who was watching comes in, fires his ass and lets Yusei, Alex, Bolt Tanner and Yanagi go free.
I know he's not a fodder character but shoutouts to Roboppi for being best boy.
The zexal manga has a piece of sentient corn possessed by the soul of a pirate captain who’s heard the corn was stuck on in life
This is why number 50: blackship of corn exists
AND a Sentient Doll that got thrown away because Cathy was an asshole.
*_This was how we got Zombiestein, btw_*
@@Set2Seth Oh, that doll is also Rank 4 tech in niche play.
Yu-Gi-Oh is so fucking peak
Which is an actually very important monster in competitive YGO. I've used Cornship plenty of times in meadowlands, HAT and drafted formats because it is a better dire wolf quite often.
The Hunder achertype came from a sentient _electron_ or eletricity, apropos enough, and these 3 jobbers were working for the same villain actually
I think my favorite part of the bit with Lorenzo shuffling Jaden's Deck was that it was to prevent him from drawing Neos after Jaden had moved it to the top of his Deck with Hero Call, and then Jaden just ends up topdecking Neos on his next turn anyway and winning the whole game
This has encouraged me to watch Season 4 of GX & the entirety of vrains
You forgot about sky scout, which played the OG Simorgh.
2:42 - No fucking way this particular hot fire design was *wasted* on a Yugioh Jobber character.
Damon(the Tarzan guy from GX) is also notable because he introduces DRAWING THE OUT as a learnable skill, which people occasionally use to explain that Yugi wasnt cheating with Heart Of The Cards, he was just really good at drawing cards lmao
There is even a scene where the cast is training drawing the out. In the YGO universe that is just a thing you can do at will.
Yugi was absolutely cheating but Jaden is just that good
We also see young duelists doing draw drills every so often. Like, Judai and the gang got up early in the morning, and were just practicing drawing the out like they were doing kata. The headmaster's cyber archetype themed dojo up in the mountains also did this. Ryo drawing three cydras and a poly (the cards to summon Cyber End Dragon) proved his training was complete, marking him worthy to inherit the card.
@@Starmag99 i didnt remember thar but its funny that it works thematically, as YGO loves the whole "forge your destiny stuff", but is really really bizarre in the context of an actual card game.
"Yugi cheated! Get it guys? Cheated! I'm so funny"
Drawing the out or rather changing your whole fate because you really want it has been part of the series from the veru begining.
My favorite has to be the Albert Einstein parody that says the famous quote "god doesn't play dice" only to lose to Judai's roll of a die
Professor Eisenstein. But he insists to be called Eisen-steen.
Table flip has a 100% win rate against his wife
Lorenzo is Italian-American representation. Him and Vinny Vinesauce keep the dream alive.
My favorite random jobber is probably bob banter from gx, who is a play on bob barker and basically uses a jeopardy deck archetype. I honestly love the concept and how 1/3 of the deck is basically making the opponent do physical exercise challenges
The Jersey Devil alien from Go Rush is voiced by Kazuma Kiryu's VA btw.
Big shout out to Kenny Jenkins from revelations duel arena in the thumbnail.
1:35 this dude is like an entire ass character in the duel academy gba game 😭 like multiple of these gx guys are entire characters you can duel bc there was no one else
This video just reminded me of the guy in go rush with a sentient hat who claims he can see the future only for it to be revealed that he was saying shit that happened in a gag manga. And then its revealed that the sentient hat aliens actually CAN see the future and the antagonist of the arc has one
I love rush so much lmao
I think you're talking about Nomura, the false prophet. Ironically, that character had more frequent appearances in other Arcs: being a member of MIK and then being a character that allowed the Main Group to have access to a secret meeting in another Arc.
The Hat Aliens's power to see the future is also developed in another Arc.
Even better is that the villain of the arc after that is the guy who wrote the gag manga that the hat alien was referencing.
the tomato guy has been seared into my brain because of the 3ds game where he's a duelable npc.
i don't know why i dueled him this much, but from the amount of times i did, i probably have the mechanics of his entire archetype locked away in the back of my mind.
7:31 Happens to the best of us
Go Rush is a head-trip and a half for the side characters they create and then allow to simply exist through multiple episodes. They have:
- Badrap, the talking pigeon who serves as head secretary to the largest manufacturing company on the planet
- Chupataro, a Chupacabra weeaboo who is obsessed with a sheep magical girl named Meeeg-chan and tricks the main cast into making an anime for him
- Tremolo, the smarmy younger brother to a racist space dragon named Phaser and yet he somehow owns his own harem of anime waifus
- Energy Copyco, a dominatrix police woman who owns a whip, can copy anyone she meets down to their deck, voice and personality, duels using a hand-puppet of the person she's copying, defeats 5 members of the main cast in one episode and then is never mentioned again
- Ishida, a literal cave child who lives by the river in a house made of rocks, quoting the Flintstones and eating rocks
- Goalko, sister to another side-character and a 3-meter tall alien woman who disguises herself as a basketball hoop to scare random passers into giving her free food because she is lazy and hates work
I think one of the first jobbers I remember was Panick from duelist kingdom arc
Bro I loved team Taiyo! They introduced budget players!
The vrains minion is simply known as Brickman
Can we all agree the character that deserves the title Jobber More then any is
Sylvio Sawatari
He appears in so many episodes and has so many listed duels. But he gets just schooled everytime. He’s even the first person to duel Yuto. And loses on turn 3 like a chump.
Shoutout to the guy in GX that sold his soul to the grim reaper (not the Death God in S4) so he could open Slash Draw FTK every single duel.
But then lost to Jaden anyways.
he shoulda taken lessons from Draw The Out guy and gone into the wilderness to train
Nightshroud isn't really a death god but he's definitely in the same aesthetic range.
@@halyoalex8942 He didn't have to. He sold his soul to the devil for topdecking powers that put Atem's to shame.
Because Jaden managed to get him to realize that "....shit, doing this ain't fun at all", making the guy BREAK HIS CONTRACT AND SOMEHOW NOT GET PUNISHED, SWITCHED WHAT HANDS HE DUELED WITH SO THE REAPER COULDN'T INFLUENCE THE GAME ANY MORE AND ACTUALLY GOT CLOSE TO HIS FTK ANYWAY BEFORE JADEN WON
You can Solemn the summon of Jinzo because technically his summon has to resolve first before his on field effect activates lol
The duelist against the Hanoi guy is in Duel Links as an NPC and is even on a Tag Duel playmat. I even have ideas for good decks for him. I would like it if he were added as a playable character, along with the neko girl in VRAINS world and Saburamen in Sevens (FFS they give us Noodle Ninjas with TWO ideal pilots in the alien chica and him! I also love the voice of the English voice actor for the character. The dude deserves more work!), and OF COURSE, TOUR GUIDE. The devs even gave her a great deck!!! Rocking Speeder to turbo out Coral Dragon, while also getting out Djinn XYZ. It actually slaps for a mid-power deck!
That guy didn't just go Tarzan to learn drawing the out, he did that by practicing drawing cards from a cascade that had a bunch of cards on it, I love GX.
8:44 WTF Can i go 1 day without Kidd catching strays in completely unrelated videos.
Funniest part is he doesn't even know what happened to Kidd and just put Kidd because he just finished Sabaody
I mean he did get FTKd by Shanks.
I do not understand this joke... I am 31 please help an old enby out
Kidd deserves it, he’s too cocky for his own good
@@gahbunga In One Piece, people meme on Captain Kidd a lot for being a lot weaker than the story wants him to be.
One of the funniest things about Arai is that he refers to Rush Duels as Wash Duels.
My favorite part about Johnny Steps is that he’s a one-panel NPC from the manga who they just randomly decided to give an entire character in the anime
Honorable mention to the guy in Zexal whose whole thing was Soccer
Or the guy in GX with Tennis
my favorite is the mokey mokey player from gx whos such a massive stoner they literally locked him in his own special vault bcus his aura alone made people green out. godspeed.
Demitri got a cameo on tag force special he has Jaden S1 Deck
I love the super intelligent monkey that tried to start a race war with humanity in GX.
My favourite was The guy from GX that had a pure luck deck and was supposed to be a great gambler with incredible luck but as it turns out, he was somehow cursed to always miss the first coin toss so he was unable to play without second coin toss
2:05 really a peak Ygo moment😂
4:30 What was 5D's about? Card games on motorcycles, of course.
Surprised nobody mentioned the ramen ninja guy from sevens whose catch phrase was "I love men."
Mine is probably Freaky fish guy #2 and Reed Pepper from Arc V. I usually can't tell when characters are gay for each other but those 2 were loud and clear for me, so either them or Princess Rose.
Unrelated but the "Spopovich's Yuzu" is crazy 😂😂
I'd argue quite a few of these guys aren't "jobbers" since quite a few of them haven't lost.
Also yes sevens is so fucking good. Obviously for kids but very entertaining and with the best female sub protag Romin Kassidy. They even let her end the series with a positive win rate.
I was so upset that Dire never played any audio for the clips of some of the characters but she redeemed it by playing THE Lorenzo clip
Fun Fact MBT: the duel with Larenzo from GX actually had a funny interaction involving Chains. Jaden had activated a trap card that would allow Neos to be put on top of his deck while also activating another Trap called Hero Climax which would let him draw his top card and if it's a monster, he can summon it to the field. Larenzo then activates a spell that lets him do his reshuffle of Jaden's deck, HOWEVER
what is hilarious is that the scene plays up the drama as if him reshuffling forced Neos to be placed at random in the deck and the audience supposedly wouldn't be sure if Neos was on top of the deck anymore.
but if you look at the chain sequence for which cards were activated and when, Jaden's trap that lets him put Neos on top of his resolves after Larenzo's spell to reshuffle, so Larenzo did all that reshuffling for absolutely NOTHING because Neos was always going to end up on the top of Jaden's deck because of how Chains work and thus allowed Heros Climax to resolve.
i know this is a totally unimportant fact, but i just thought it was hilarious that this is the 2nd time since the Grand Prix where Chains actually mattered in a duel lol
6:01 correction. He shows up first as the dojo master when Yuma goes there, and then in a second episode faces Yuma in a duel when he’s in a funk. He shows up during a later episode of Zexal along with his student and a bunch of others during the start of the Barian invasion arc
Shout out to Mad Dog from GX, from the episode where Zane starts his Hell Kaiser phase. Not just for his voice (A Mike Tyson impresson, i think??) but for how much he clashes with the rest of the episode. Even in the dub, the tone is largely very serious with not many "haha" jokes, but of course this guy makes it *impossible* to take the episode completely seriously
It's supposed to be a Mike Tyson impression, but it's like, the goofiest cartoony mocking voice I've ever heard sustained for more than a single sentence
@@ToxicAtom MAI MOMMY FINKS I'M WEAWWY STWONG!
What a choice for Sean Schemmel
@@ToxicAtom Same with Crystal Beef Arnold Mammoth
@@alexbaccaro8578
DAS RIGHT POOPY HEAD!
The ra dorm leaders deck heing just shoving ingredients into a pot to make soup is peak and should have been made an archetype
As someone who recently finished watching Zexal for the first time I can confirm that it is in fact peak.
I legit wish we had Lorenzo join the main cast instead of Tyranno. Not only was he a gamer, but he was just way too entertaining to have him for just one-episode! X3
I loved T-Bone too! I wish we got to see him and Blaze return in the final season, having finally been able to enroll in Duel Academy with Sartorius convincing Kagemaru!
Gotta give shoutout to my favorite fodder character from the current show go rush Maguto Sogetsu (Aka the fish from rush) A LITERAL FISH who talks and walks like a human and only comes around to beat crap out of and knock some sense into one of the main characters manabu after he had a complete mental breakdown and went mad with power. Also they’re brothers… you figure that one out 🐟
I gotta watch Rush now
It gets better. Manabu is the heir to a prestigious family with a long line of history (seen in Sevens with Gakuto/Gavin Sogetsu's arc) but the moment he runs away from them the current Sogetsu head says "Fuck it, buy the biggest tuna on the market and I'll make it the next heir to the Sogetsu style"
GODS I *NEED* the tennis cards from GX, I NEED to have a deck full of BALLS and also that fucking absurd alt-win card that couldn't possibly get out of hand!
Professor Stein was a legit death, no return falling into the abyss after his loss. Sad really, i liked him.
sir Gil fought the rose queen the psychic duelist from 5ds and lost to her plus it turns out his brovodo act and gear is just a facade to get more money. Second the old man who uses the wooden cards that are replicas of yugioh cards also shows up later and uses king queen and jack night plus I think mirror force to beat yuma because he is running due to losing astral and feeling very depressed and talks to him and get him in a better mental state. Both of this is from the dubbed version of the anime that I saw on hula back when that was free except for like the newest eps.
When I saw that thumbnail, I was so worried Tomato Tillbilly retired from the competitive scene. How could you do that
7:52 Fun fact about Scott Irvine! He actually makes an appearance in The Dark Side of Dimensions Movie as well.
I believe he was one of scientists working at Kaiba's space elevator.
4:40
Jaden could have won the duel sooner if he DIDN'T pop Ectoplasmer.
"He also plays another series of cards, I don't know if we can show in the video", proceeds to show Hermit Purple from JJBA: Stardust Crusader
Futurama intro is 👌
Go Rush's Chubacrbra guy who has a deck based around a sheep magical girl - Meg Chan. Its a running gag which grew on me.
Very crucial character information: he also has basically his bi awakening when he sees the main character cosplay as said magical girl sheep and goes he's kinda cute actually damn
Do you wanna know the worst part about 7:07? Dog girl literally never shows up again for the rest of the show _or tournament,_ meaning she immediately lost to someone else *off-screen* and Cathy threw the duel for no reason. She was robbed.
7:26 He’s right the man is absolutely right and i’m tired of pretending that Zexal isn’t fucking amazing
Real
How about in GX, that one guy Jaden/Judai though was a Shadow Rider but just wanted to build an underwater Duel Academy, owned a submarine, and played Legendary Ocean and Levia-Dragon - Daedalus turbo, and Jaden wins by using Neo Bubbleman's equip with Bubble Blaster to destroy it with its effect.
