The duel had a reference to GX catchphrase, because the duel is a reference to GX episode 24. During the "north academy" arc, Chaz had a duel where he goes through multiple opponents then decides to duel 3 people at once. Like in this duel, they all had the same deck. Though in their case it was a marauding captain deck. This is the western version of that.
We've had cardgames on motorcycles, get ready for cardgames on revolvers! But seriously I love the Crash Town Arc. Surprised that this got even past 4kids.
I'm surprised they even went through with this arc. So much of it sets off their alarms, it must've been busy for their editors. Kalin just grabbing Lotten and not finishing their duel because he doesn't deserve it is kind of cool at least.
for april fools, you should do like shima vs knight of hanoi and spend like 5 mins depicting the odds that they BOTH got Brick hands in an ANIMEEEE DUEL
This reminds me a lot of a duel from season 1 of GX where Chazz faced 4 North Academy Students at the same time who all used a Marauding Captain swarm/lock strategy. Chazz won on like his second turn by summoning a super powered Gyaku-Gire Panda and using Kaiba's ring of destruction + ring of defense combo. Always struck me how awesome that duel was, even as a kid
Based AF combo LMAO. That's why og Yu-Gi-Oh is the goat. I love seeing random niche cards just in case the mains run into some BS combo. We all main decked tech against macro at some point
Chazz constantly being an example of "Give me ANY deck and I'll still win" was so ACE! Chazz was always given some disadvantage and mocked for using weak "Ojamas" and such, and yet he not once complained, he often schooled them about overconfidence and played the Ojamas perfectly. Chazz it UP cause that's my GOAT from GX.
@@MarioMastar Between Chazz and Kaiba equal ego, I have to give it to Chazz because he's adaptability to use different decks, and to have the versatility of using Ojamas, Armed Dragon, & VWXYZ Dragon Monsters not only were a mis mash of monsters but synergize with Chazz like the Magnet Warriors, Silent Swordsman & Magician, & Gadgets w/ Gandora to work with Yugi so well.
I’ll say that the unknown Trap in their hands is “Blasting Fuse”. It’s more of a reactive trap that requires all cards in its column to be occupied. That’s why I presume they wouldn’t have set them, as not knowing where all the cards would be played. And since they believed they had game next turn, they probably didn’t set them because of that reason too, not needing the reactive traps for it.
To be fair, this was meant to be a test for Yusei and presumably other recruits. It would make sense they would both stack the deck but also give Yusei a chance because, again, this is meant to be a test and they obviously want new members.
@@stephenford5661 I always think villains in general never shuffle their decks because their pure win condition is sitting on top. Especially since they're only using the game as a form of battle & to inflict harm. Although I remember in 5Ds, their runners would shuffle their decks before a Duel. But this was the perspective of the protagonists. I don't think the antagonist runners had that built in or disabled it to prevent their stacked Deck from getting shuffled.
@@thedarkspirit5084Marik had Yugi shuffle his deck before the Battle City Finals. He could have won if his "lighter" alter ego didn't forfeit.

@@greghanson2206 Yes. But I mean if the 2v1 continued. In the Japanese dub, it continued but as a 1v1 without Yusei. Also, if Lawton didn't try to blow up the mines to stop their first duel (which was a Turbo Duel), would Yusei have won?
Fun fact: The Crashtown arc was a protracted homage to Spaghetti Westerns with many, many, many callbacks and references. This 1v3 duel was one of them, as in A Fistful of Dollars, Clint Eastwood's character demonstrates his skill with a gun to two rival gangs fighting over a town by out-drawing four bandits that had previously been accosting him and killing all of them. It was this sequence that made me compelled to watch the Crashtown arc and I genuinely consider it one of the greatest filler arcs in anime as a result.
@@RenaldyCalixte I never said the Crashtown arc is the "best filler arc", just one of the best. And length is not an intrinsic measuring stick on quality either.
Considering the gun theme of the crash town storyline and almost all the antagonists use gun themed decks, I'd say the trap card in-hand is probably "Barrel Behind The Door" and the spell card might be some effect that targets the graveyard like Soul Release.
It can't be Barrel Behind the Door, as that would have allowed the thugs to win by sending Armory Arm/Junk Barrage's effect damage back to Yusei, preventing his OTK and in fact, killing Yusei with his own effects.
Lowkey love how convenient the Crash Town Duel Disk is and how awesome it looks. And at the same time, how off-the-wall it is haha. Never change Yugioh.

The trap could have been something like Backup Soldier. You can vaguely tell from the border it's a normal trap and not a continous or counter trap (same with the unknown spell btw) and the effect of Backup Soldier also restores lost cards in a similar vein to Avarice. Drawing only effect monsters also explains why no one bothered to set it.
This is one of my favorite duels in the series and crash town in my favorite filler arc. I hope you do a few more crash town duels in the future. Also the revolver duel disks are so cool looking. Also Leo vs dark signer
Did you know I met Yuseis english voice actor greg abbey? He was my personal favorite he gave me a free yusei duel runner poster for free and then he signed my stardust dragon from the 2010 promo tins, and because i said i waited 13 years at the time to meet him it was fun lol.
Wow I never expected to hear a timesplitters 2 soundtrack in one of your videos! I love it when CCs hit my nostalgic bgm button. "Mexican Mission" is a classic.
Revolver vs. Playmaker would be a lot of fun to analyze. Those guys duel 4 times throughout the series, and the last duel is quite literally the definition of "extreme".
I forget if you Covered the ZTK i believe it called done by Sartorius, i know its a super short thing but as you brought up the FTK done in this Yu-Gi-Oh series and the episode is covering a OTK, i figured it was worth bringing up because ima be honest when i first saw it i was shocked at wth i just watched lol
I'd love to see one of these for Team 5Ds vs Team Taiyo. Even though it wasn't dubbed, it's still one of the best duels from the series, and I'd love to see if it could've turned out any differently, especially as I'm pretty sure Yusei only won by cheating (using a Blackwing card on a non-Blackwing monster), or if Team 5Ds would have had to know the Zushin strategy to have been able to disrupt it.
Yusei didn't cheat. He used main character powers. 😅. Also is their fan fiction or a Master Duel on what would of happened if Team Ragnorak faced Team Taiyo?
I definitely want some more 5Ds duel analysis videos. I binged through the show last month, and it definitely makes me curious on the outcome of some duels. I would especially love ones on the Aporia duels, since when we get to his non-Turbo duels, we actually know 39 of the cards he uses in his deck, which means we have a pretty good idea of all the strategies he could have gone with.
Not sure if youve thought about this but I think it would be cool to analyze the Yugi vs Kaiba duel on Pegasus Castle balcony where they had the weird mechanics with the Duel disks and could activate traps from their hand iirc
Crash Town Arc was awesome. Yusei and Kalin being taken to the mines for slave work. Then they had the big escape from the mines. Then Jack and Crow showing up at the end to help protect the town, it was awesome! I think it is awesome that Greg Abbey went from voicing Tristan, a side character who knows nothing about the game of Duel Monsters to voicing a rising All-Star. In conclusion I Love Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
I still remember Tristan confessing to Serenity that he trained Joey on how to play duel monsters and he lost the only duel he ever competed in. Then he became a robot monkey. 😂 Whereas Yusei only lost once to Jack in a flashback. (He technically lost to Kiryu/Kalin but officially that duel ended with no result because Yusei's duel runner was destroyed). And Aki/Akiza falls in love with Yusei and says he's a great duelist. I wish Yusei and Tristan met one another. Cause they are opposites. Though both of them are great at fighting.
This was one of my favorite duels. It just showed how powerful and willing yusei was to help his friend. This duel alone elevates yusei in my list a lot lol
Regarding the mysterious trap fun silly guess would be Reckless Greed. Since a draw card would be pretty useful to help them grab their win condition, it pairs reasonably well with something like Pot of Avarice, and since they all have their copies of their monster already there's no immediate need to set Reckless face-down.
Alexis did a similar thing in her debut duel in arc v lol. Alexis was basically like "oops, you each have a monster special summoned from the extra deck and i opened cyber angel vrash tee hee"
Probably the greatest feat is from Sartorius in GX where he dueled the prince to get the satellite. Sartorius was able to do the impossible ZTK, zero turn kill.
I’ve been rewatching 5Ds yesterday and today on Prime, and I never noticed how many shenanigans yusei does and how many animation errors there are from the attack number aesthetic being replaced with the life points, or the life points visual not changing even as the number decreases. Still love it though
The goons likely had gunslinger type things. If such a person exists, likely based around the inspiration for Fuse Ray Blaster. As for effects, I can see the trap as a mass revive for FRB. Spell 2, add back and normal summon?
When I first saw this video dropped, I thought it was going to be a gag episode. However, since you explained why you were making this video, I knew that it had a purpose since OTKs are pretty common in modern-day Yu-Gi-Oh vs. FTKs. I never see them when I play the game. Thanks for another amazing video, Sam, and arguably one of my favorite adventures with Yusei.
The goons' trap could have been Blasting the Ruins. Would require way too many cards in the GY to make it matter, so no point in setting it early. Yet it is still a burn card which would work for them individually if they were playing 1v1 duels.
Lifeforce Harmonizer was also a hand trap that existed at this time period that shuts down Lotten's strategy. Ono and Yoshida really liked the idea of having a bunch of dudes whose only strategy is "normal summon a monster that burns the opponent in a battle royale, pass turn."
You know, the 3-on-1 one duel is since the it only happens twice in 5ds with the Aporial, and Paradox duel, with the Aporial duel having him state that it’s due to the disadvantageous position that he gets to go first.
Considering their entire game plan was simply to summon Fuse Ray Blaster over and over until they won, my guess is the trap card would have been something like Call of the Haunted. It's a relatively generic trap card that the animators would probably think about for adding but also, lore wise, it's probably something that they'd need if they were playing a one on one instead of a three on one duel. Because of the turn order, and that they all had the other Fuse Ray Blasters in hand, they likely felt it was pointless to put it on the field as they likely were too cocky thinking they were guaranteed to win.
So I’ve been dying to rewatch this duel so I’m glad you did this one Also thing about the goons having the same hands also takes place in Arc V with the Obelisk force soldiers p much always opening with the same cards as well
As someone else said this could’ve been a test which is why all 3 goons had the exact same hands and that second spell card could’ve been like monster reborn, like just in case the recruits they were going against somehow gained some life points or maybe destroyed one of the monsters they could bring one of them back Also IIRC judging by how 5D’s was the show for “activating random negate/counter card for any situation possible” the trap card could’ve been some sort of negate or counter, possibly a trap that could activate in the grave in case they lost they’re hands and it was still an on par card for monster reborn
Ive pulled off this feat one time totally unintentionally. I was playing lunalight and i had a 4800 atk cat dancer and there were 3 other people and just beat over eveything twice each while Burning for 100 points per attack.
I wonder what other OTK duels there are to analyze. Kaiba vs that guy from Battle City he tried Obelisk against? Rex & Weevil vs Ziegfried? Rebecca & Duke vs Valon? Orichalcos Mai vs Pegasus, lol? Anyway, fun analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Me: Yusei truly is the best protagonist with the best quote, "get your game on!"?, fantastic, rad, that's why he is the goat. Jaden: BUT THAT IS MY CATCHPHRASE!! Me: yes but he said it better.
You mentioned the OTK(one turn kill) and FTK (first turn kill) but you forgot the one above that. 0TK (zero turn kill) where the duel is over before the first turn such as the astronomical drawing of exodia as your opening hand.
This duel at the end of "Duelist For Hire" was manic for a short duel, but was awesome as to how Yusei took down the 3 stooges. To be fair though, if Yusei didn't have the cards to pull off that combination he needed, he would have lost because of Fuse-Ray Blaster's effect. But regardless, Nitro Warrior equipped with Armory Arm AND Junk Barrage was wickedly sweet! Don't forget the initial attack is also calculated alongside the effects as well.
I feel partially for the decks being so stacked... I mean at some point it feels more like duelists end up willing cards to appear, and in GX you had a guy training to "draw better" with results. Considering the gimmick of the 3 of them I imagine despite being grunts they eat, breathe, and sleep Fuse Ray Blaster and put their all into being the Fuse Ray Blaster guys.
In a battle royal duel, the one who is at a disadvantage can come up with a handicap to balance it out with. Yusei went with a mandatory 1st turn. Usually, the choices are life points x number of opponents, or starting hand of 5 cards x number of opponents. Or, with Paradox from the "Across Time" movie, the solo person goes every other turn.
This channel should make a video about the evolution of archetypes in the anime. In the classic series most characters didn’t have a pure archetype deck and Vrains almost everyone's deck is based on a archetype.
I think Archetype began in GX & Early 5Ds. Before then, most label their decks as a Power Deck like Kaiba, Strategy Deck like Yugi, or a Gamble Deck like Joey. Or Lockdown Deck, it basically has a gist of what the Deck was aiming for before giving them a name for their Decks. Because it's not right to call Yugi's Deck a Dark Magician Deck if the only cards he has for Dark Magician is like 1 monster & like 2-3 spells/traps and the rest are Celtic Guardian, Magnet Warriors and Buster Blader with a mix of Chimera.
I tried watching Zexal and couldn't get into it. But I'm starting to become more comfortable with watching XYZ Duels on Duel Master online so maybe I will give Zexal another chance.
I nearly forgot about this duel, until I watched the Crash Town arc a few days ago. Such an interesting arc. Would love to see a video on Jaden vs Dark Magician Girl.
If I had to guess I would say the mystery trap card in Goon1s hand is Call of the Haunted with the intention of only setting it if there is a Fuse Ray Blaster for his Goon buddies to imediately revive on their turns before normal summoning a Fuse Ray Blaster
Could you cover the two duel of Brave max vs Knight of Hanoi (Vrains ep27) and Ghost Girl(ep60) Since both duel are really short It could make for a good April fool episode.
A simple, but fun duel, with a set of rules not usually seen. We found some simple examples of OTK that makes us wonder if they could be made in real life. As for next time, I've been thinking about this duel: Maximillian Pegasus vs. Dr. Crowler vs. Prof. Bonaparte - A Triangle Duel between Toons, Gears and Toys. We all know that very few can defeat Pegasus, and during a part of the duel, Crowler and Bonaparte were fighting against each other. So here's my question: if they worked together since the very first draw, were they able to defeat Pegasus? What would have been their final Life Points before being defeated? This duel requires some calculations and especulations and I would love to see your analysis on this.
This duel was always in my opinion one of the best showcases of how skilled of a duelist Yusei was. The common of Nitro Warrior, Armoury Arm and Junk Barrage has always been one of my favourite combo’s

Did you know I met Yuseis english voice actor greg abbey? He was my personal favorite he gave me a free yusei duel runner poster for free and then he signed my stardust dragon from the 2010 promo tins, and because i said i waited 13 years at the time to meet him it was fun lol.
Wow I never expected to hear a timesplitters 2 soundtrack in one of your videos! I love it when CCs hit my nostalgic bgm button. "Mexican Mission" is a classic.
I think the crash town draw rule is only about the sunset duel.
The two deliveries of "final turn of the duel" were brilliant. Keep up the great work, Sam. These analyses are... a blast.
God dang, I love this series. Every time a new episode comes out I get sooo excited and have to watch it right away. Thank you for this
I love these duel analysis videos! I'd love to see some final duels (e.g. Yusei vs Jack) or some from VRAINS.
Revolver vs. Playmaker would be a lot of fun to analyze. Those guys duel 4 times throughout the series, and the last duel is quite literally the definition of "extreme".
The "you guessed it" was so funny to me 😂
Yeah, that made me laugh pretty hard, too 😅
Look at his face too, it was hilarious
"The duel begins, and it's the final turn of the duel."
That made me laugh so hard for some reason lol
people were going crazy about children's cards game on motorcycles back then but never children's cards game on firearms xD
I forget if you Covered the ZTK i believe it called done by Sartorius, i know its a super short thing but as you brought up the FTK done in this Yu-Gi-Oh series and the episode is covering a OTK, i figured it was worth bringing up because ima be honest when i first saw it i was shocked at wth i just watched lol
I'd love to see one of these for Team 5Ds vs Team Taiyo. Even though it wasn't dubbed, it's still one of the best duels from the series, and I'd love to see if it could've turned out any differently, especially as I'm pretty sure Yusei only won by cheating (using a Blackwing card on a non-Blackwing monster), or if Team 5Ds would have had to know the Zushin strategy to have been able to disrupt it.
Yusei didn't cheat. He used main character powers. 😅.
Also is their fan fiction or a Master Duel on what would of happened if Team Ragnorak faced Team Taiyo?
I agree. It is good!
Anime card effects may differ from their real world counterparts. See all elemental fusion heroes not having the 'must be fusion summoned' line.
I definitely want some more 5Ds duel analysis videos. I binged through the show last month, and it definitely makes me curious on the outcome of some duels. I would especially love ones on the Aporia duels, since when we get to his non-Turbo duels, we actually know 39 of the cards he uses in his deck, which means we have a pretty good idea of all the strategies he could have gone with.
Not sure if youve thought about this but I think it would be cool to analyze the Yugi vs Kaiba duel on Pegasus Castle balcony where they had the weird mechanics with the Duel disks and could activate traps from their hand iirc
Take a shot every time he says “fuse ray blaster”
😂 we're all going to the Shadow Realm.
That sentence was starting to lose its meaning to me lol.
@@jonathanwilson1539we're all like Chumley's dad from GX.
guess I'll put off going to bed for 13 minutes then!
Haha, I loved "the duel begins, and it's the final turn of the duel!"
Crash Town Arc was awesome. Yusei and Kalin being taken to the mines for slave work. Then they had the big escape from the mines. Then Jack and Crow showing up at the end to help protect the town, it was awesome! I think it is awesome that Greg Abbey went from voicing Tristan, a side character who knows nothing about the game of Duel Monsters to voicing a rising All-Star. In conclusion I Love Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
I still remember Tristan confessing to Serenity that he trained Joey on how to play duel monsters and he lost the only duel he ever competed in. Then he became a robot monkey. 😂
Whereas Yusei only lost once to Jack in a flashback. (He technically lost to Kiryu/Kalin but officially that duel ended with no result because Yusei's duel runner was destroyed). And Aki/Akiza falls in love with Yusei and says he's a great duelist.
I wish Yusei and Tristan met one another. Cause they are opposites. Though both of them are great at fighting.
This was one of my favorite duels.
It just showed how powerful and willing yusei was to help his friend.
This duel alone elevates yusei in my list a lot lol
1:48 yoooooo, did the sign in the bg say The Classy Ass in the dub too or did it only say that in the original version?!😂
3:42 I’m going to say that mysterious card was scrap iron scarecrow. It’s a card that Yusei had in his deck throughout the entire series
Regarding the mysterious trap fun silly guess would be Reckless Greed. Since a draw card would be pretty useful to help them grab their win condition, it pairs reasonably well with something like Pot of Avarice, and since they all have their copies of their monster already there's no immediate need to set Reckless face-down.
Alexis did a similar thing in her debut duel in arc v lol.
Alexis was basically like "oops, you each have a monster special summoned from the extra deck and i opened cyber angel vrash tee hee"
Probably the greatest feat is from Sartorius in GX where he dueled the prince to get the satellite. Sartorius was able to do the impossible ZTK, zero turn kill.
5:20 no way he was playing evenly matched
For Yusei, beating three opponents in one turn is a show of skill. For Shun, it's basically half his duels. It is his life's purpose.
I’ve been rewatching 5Ds yesterday and today on Prime, and I never noticed how many shenanigans yusei does and how many animation errors there are from the attack number aesthetic being replaced with the life points, or the life points visual not changing even as the number decreases. Still love it though
Japan sure loves putting random English words together. "Hey, wanna got to The Classy Ass? They're having a sale on cowgirl boots and denim skirts!"
The goons likely had gunslinger type things.
If such a person exists, likely based around the inspiration for Fuse Ray Blaster. As for effects, I can see the trap as a mass revive for FRB. Spell 2, add back and normal summon?
When I first saw this video dropped, I thought it was going to be a gag episode. However, since you explained why you were making this video, I knew that it had a purpose since OTKs are pretty common in modern-day Yu-Gi-Oh vs. FTKs. I never see them when I play the game. Thanks for another amazing video, Sam, and arguably one of my favorite adventures with Yusei.
The goons' trap could have been Blasting the Ruins. Would require way too many cards in the GY to make it matter, so no point in setting it early. Yet it is still a burn card which would work for them individually if they were playing 1v1 duels.
Oh yeah I think that would be a descent burn card that might make the deck work 1 vs 1.
8:26 hand destruction would work if he wanted to stall.
Lifeforce Harmonizer was also a hand trap that existed at this time period that shuts down Lotten's strategy.
Ono and Yoshida really liked the idea of having a bunch of dudes whose only strategy is "normal summon a monster that burns the opponent in a battle royale, pass turn."
6:38 I love Sam's face when he explains what Goon 4 had.
You know, the 3-on-1 one duel is since the it only happens twice in 5ds with the Aporial, and Paradox duel, with the Aporial duel having him state that it’s due to the disadvantageous position that he gets to go first.
I can't believe people didn't make it a drinking game for the whole Fuse Ray Blaster BS
this maybe the most intresting duel analysis yet!
Considering their entire game plan was simply to summon Fuse Ray Blaster over and over until they won, my guess is the trap card would have been something like Call of the Haunted. It's a relatively generic trap card that the animators would probably think about for adding but also, lore wise, it's probably something that they'd need if they were playing a one on one instead of a three on one duel. Because of the turn order, and that they all had the other Fuse Ray Blasters in hand, they likely felt it was pointless to put it on the field as they likely were too cocky thinking they were guaranteed to win.
So I’ve been dying to rewatch this duel so I’m glad you did this one
Also thing about the goons having the same hands also takes place in Arc V with the Obelisk force soldiers p much always opening with the same cards as well
As someone else said this could’ve been a test which is why all 3 goons had the exact same hands and that second spell card could’ve been like monster reborn, like just in case the recruits they were going against somehow gained some life points or maybe destroyed one of the monsters they could bring one of them back
Also IIRC judging by how 5D’s was the show for “activating random negate/counter card for any situation possible” the trap card could’ve been some sort of negate or counter, possibly a trap that could activate in the grave in case they lost they’re hands and it was still an on par card for monster reborn
I mean, there already were multiple "handtraps" that negate effect damage like wattapon at that time.
So the FKT could've ended differently.
Ive pulled off this feat one time totally unintentionally. I was playing lunalight and i had a 4800 atk cat dancer and there were 3 other people and just beat over eveything twice each while Burning for 100 points per attack.
When armoury arm was summoned I immediately got PTSD from the BLS OTK
This is reminisce of chazz achieving an OTK against 4 North academy students in GX. Had a western theme AND copies of a single monster as well
love the gun dueldisk stuff in the crash town era
yeas we had gun duel disk in GX but old wild feels relaly helps
I wonder what other OTK duels there are to analyze. Kaiba vs that guy from Battle City he tried Obelisk against? Rex & Weevil vs Ziegfried? Rebecca & Duke vs Valon? Orichalcos Mai vs Pegasus, lol?
Anyway, fun analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
This is one of my favorite yusei moments because he is a boss
Duels like this are the reason I love Cardfight anime. They usually only happen once and when they do it just has you like :o
I love how they got away putting guns in the show by making them turn into duel disk
Me: Yusei truly is the best protagonist with the best quote, "get your game on!"?, fantastic, rad, that's why he is the goat.
Jaden: BUT THAT IS MY CATCHPHRASE!!
Me: yes but he said it better.
You mentioned the OTK(one turn kill) and FTK (first turn kill) but you forgot the one above that. 0TK (zero turn kill) where the duel is over before the first turn such as the astronomical drawing of exodia as your opening hand.
ngl, from the thumbnail, it looked like 2 of the goons were some artist's interpretation of Beavis & Butthead.
2:48
Yeah IIRC, Lawton drew his cards way faster giving him the first turn.
Yusie even says get your game on in the dub
Nice little nod to jadan there
This duel at the end of "Duelist For Hire" was manic for a short duel, but was awesome as to how Yusei took down the 3 stooges. To be fair though, if Yusei didn't have the cards to pull off that combination he needed, he would have lost because of Fuse-Ray Blaster's effect. But regardless, Nitro Warrior equipped with Armory Arm AND Junk Barrage was wickedly sweet! Don't forget the initial attack is also calculated alongside the effects as well.
11:52 Revolver Yuselot
Ayo mgs reference
Will you analyze the Kalin vs Yusei rematch and their Crash Town Duel? You could do both in one video.
Yuseis prison duel would be a cool one
Yusei and Kalin vs Lawton would be a brilliant duel to do
I feel partially for the decks being so stacked... I mean at some point it feels more like duelists end up willing cards to appear, and in GX you had a guy training to "draw better" with results. Considering the gimmick of the 3 of them I imagine despite being grunts they eat, breathe, and sleep Fuse Ray Blaster and put their all into being the Fuse Ray Blaster guys.
In a battle royal duel, the one who is at a disadvantage can come up with a handicap to balance it out with. Yusei went with a mandatory 1st turn.
Usually, the choices are life points x number of opponents, or starting hand of 5 cards x number of opponents. Or, with Paradox from the "Across Time" movie, the solo person goes every other turn.
This channel should make a video about the evolution of archetypes in the anime. In the classic series most characters didn’t have a pure archetype deck and Vrains almost everyone's deck is based on a archetype.
I think Archetype began in GX & Early 5Ds. Before then, most label their decks as a Power Deck like Kaiba, Strategy Deck like Yugi, or a Gamble Deck like Joey. Or Lockdown Deck, it basically has a gist of what the Deck was aiming for before giving them a name for their Decks.
Because it's not right to call Yugi's Deck a Dark Magician Deck if the only cards he has for Dark Magician is like 1 monster & like 2-3 spells/traps and the rest are Celtic Guardian, Magnet Warriors and Buster Blader with a mix of Chimera.
_Sam's really trying his best to avoid Zexal Duel Analyses._
I tried watching Zexal and couldn't get into it. But I'm starting to become more comfortable with watching XYZ Duels on Duel Master online so maybe I will give Zexal another chance.
Hilarious idea for April first. Do the duel between Yuya and Zuzu where he hasn’t learned how to Pendulum summon yet
I nearly forgot about this duel, until I watched the Crash Town arc a few days ago. Such an interesting arc.
Would love to see a video on Jaden vs Dark Magician Girl.
I would love to see you do one of these on Kite vs Mizar, my favorite Zexal matchup
If I had to guess I would say the mystery trap card in Goon1s hand is Call of the Haunted with the intention of only setting it if there is a Fuse Ray Blaster for his Goon buddies to imediately revive on their turns before normal summoning a Fuse Ray Blaster
I just want to point out, the title should say “Were” not “Was” because the subject here is plural (3 no name thugs).
ONE TURN TRIPLE KILL!
Could you cover the two duel of Brave max
vs Knight of Hanoi (Vrains ep27) and Ghost Girl(ep60)
Since both duel are really short It could make for a good April fool episode.
I feel like nitro warrior is yusei ace in this mini arc
A simple, but fun duel, with a set of rules not usually seen. We found some simple examples of OTK that makes us wonder if they could be made in real life.
As for next time, I've been thinking about this duel: Maximillian Pegasus vs. Dr. Crowler vs. Prof. Bonaparte - A Triangle Duel between Toons, Gears and Toys.
We all know that very few can defeat Pegasus, and during a part of the duel, Crowler and Bonaparte were fighting against each other. So here's my question: if they worked together since the very first draw, were they able to defeat Pegasus? What would have been their final Life Points before being defeated?
This duel requires some calculations and especulations and I would love to see your analysis on this.
This duel was always in my opinion one of the best showcases of how skilled of a duelist Yusei was. The common of Nitro Warrior, Armoury Arm and Junk Barrage has always been one of my favourite combo’s
How about Yugi vs Arkana?
Yugi pulled some shenanigans during that duel.
In fairness, so did Arkana
Like what? Everything seemed legit
I've been asking for this for a while now.
Whaaaaaaat? Yugi? Neeeeverrr, hes the king of games, he doesn't skirt the rules and make up nonsense to ensure he wins.... dont be silly
@@thefonzpart oh just the fact Yugi's Dark Magician turned itself into Ectoplasm to shield Yugi from certain loss.
What a wonderful Video! Thanks!!
