- In this video, we're celebrating Yu-Gi-Oh's 25th Anniversary by taking a look at the franchise's heyday. From it's manga origins in the 90s, to it's global takeover in the early 2000s.
I'm a yu-gi-oh boomer and it was wild back then. No one knew the rules, you could make up rules and if you could convince your logic to your friends then it was legit. Seto and Brock are voiced by the same person. We can't forget the tin boxes that had about 60 cards in them.
I remember how excited I was for those tin boxes. Insect Queen was my holy grail card just from the artwork.
i played a guy who had 12 megamorphs in his side of the field and like 15 pot of greeds his deck was about the same height as a ps2 even then i thought something was a bit fishy
That's 100% the fault of the anime. As kids non of my friends knew the rules but in the anime it was like "I play a card that makes the area foggy and now your machine monsters start to rust and lose Attackpoints" it made sense while also being absolutely ridiculous 😂
I played someone who tried to say he could discard his draw and draw again if he didn't like his draw. I didn't want to argue so I just let him win. I didn't give him my rarest card afterwards since he clearly cheated
My decks didn't have power cards they had my favorite cards . Jerry bean man for the win !
When Flandrew said “world” I was waiting for him to say “but which one?” and start describing alternate universes
Also I’d share my memories… but they’re FORBIDDEN
I'm a Yugi Boomer from Australia. I remember being there when the Legend of Blue-Eyes pack first came to our shores, and I remember my very first starter deck was Joey's. Red-Eyes was always my favourite card from the anime, so owning my own was the greatest day of my life at the time. I still own that card to this very day ❤
My first card ever was the Dark Magician from the Yugi starter deck. I tried to start a game club at my school and one of my students stole it from me. I disbanded the club immediately.
I discovered and got into the series December last year. In january I went to my localcardshop and wanted to get a card for myself for decoration since year of the dragon. I too, got (Red Eyes) Flare Metal. I like the overall color scheme, especially in Gold Rare.
My first starter deck was Joey's too. But I really wish it was either Kaiba's or Pegasus's considering how good their cards were.
My 1st was Joeys to 😆💪
@@SharpyMC001 my man! 🙌
Oh man, this takes me back. Imputing the card number to get the card in game was such a fantastic idea at the time.
This was such a genuine tribute, I was not expecting to relate so much to someone 8 time zones away
Me still collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards today.
The first anime I watched was in the early 2000s, it’s between Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!
As a kid, i brought my deck with me everywhere i went 😂
Same 😂
Bro this is straight facts. I’d get on the school bus in 2002 and all my friends would be showing off their cards and or trading them. really miss those times!
You HAD to!!! You never knew what other kid, total stranger kids, might challenge you
Please, make more! That was an awesome video!
Also, fun fact: Seto's English VA doesn't just voice Brock, he's also James from Team Rocket. And considering the latter's flamboyent voice, he would've been a perfect Maximilian Pegasus.
I'd love to see more videos like this! A "When Bionicle ruled the World" in particular, as you hinted at in the end, would be much appreciated!
Agreed.
Agreed
SECONDED! THIRDED! INFINITY AGREED!
just they‘re ads did

Guess I'm a Yu Gi Oh boomer too. I started collecting, playing, and watching the anime around Pharaoh's Servant release, and was active until about the time Tuner monsters became a thing. I still have most of my old decks and just dug them out while ive been on summer break from work. I did a tournament and my Aqua deck won.
One of my students stole my Elemental Hero deck right out of my office. I seem to be missing a couple others, but still have some classics like Dark Magician, Blue eyes (no fusion), XYZ, Exodia milling, Dinosaur, etc. So nostalgic. I wouldnt want to play with todays metagame.
Oh man Yu-gi-oh was such a huge part of my life growing up, my friends and I made cards when the anime came out and there weren’t any official ones
This was back when Yu-Gi-Oh use to be simple & the games not relying so much on heavy combos & broken stuff like it was today. The original anime holds an special place in my heart; as well as GX and 5DS to some extent. Mainly because these were the shows that got me into anime and being an history geek that I am. I will always cherish this franchise no matter how better or worse from here. But at least it gets new people into the series.
I genuinely wish Yu-Gi-Oh would have continued the story the way it was in the early chapters. Those early chapters were so good.
YASSSS I want more! I love your combination of analytical approach with firsthand accounts from your childhood and your dry sense of humor to boot. Honestly, these videos are some of the funnest ways to relive my childhood memories
I was there Gandalf, 5000 years ago.
When Yu-Gi-Oh first came out, I bought some LOB packs and went to my friends house to open them. In one of the packs, I got the body of Exodia. My friend wanted to trade pretty much every card he had for it, but I refused. In an anime moment of rage, he threw my newly opened Exodia out of the window. Thankfully I retrieved it in one piece!
When you remember Dan Green used that voice in Hentai before using the voice for Yami Yugi. Smooth voice indeed.
Ex-fachen-scuse me?
@@MemesToa There’s quite a few USA based voice actors who eventually gave in and did some Hentai on the side because times were tough. I can’t remember te name, but I’m pretty sure google will have the answer.

Yu Gi Oh will always have a special place in my heart, great video man!
Slice GX came along Konami has forgotten about those classic games that I enjoyed years back such as duelists of the roses worldwide edition dark duel stories and capsule monsters coliseum. Those games where pure gold and had awesome music and 3d battle animations on the ps2
Because they actually realized they could make more money by making more straight-up adaptations of the card game that didn’t come with massive caveats.
That intro blew my mind. I had that Vegeta action figure as a kid!!! Man, I miss that toy :')
To be honest when me and the boys graduated from playing with our action figures and boinicles and legos we took up yugioh and video games. There was NOTHING like going over to my friends house on the weekend and playing the fattest game of yugioh. We also played that game with the cardboard ships you could build. That ship game was really fun
Loved this video, this was an awesome trip down memory lane. The battle city arc was such a core memory for me, the first time I got really infatuated with the lore of a show. Probably tied in nicely to my love of mythology.
Would love if you did more of these "ruled the world" vids!
I remember when my brother and I came home with our starter deck Yugi and Kaiba and were so confused when the rulebook said you had to tribute summon. Ah good times lol
7:10 To this day there are still people out there who think MST negates, even though that didn't even happen in the anime.
And it doesn't help when trying to explain this that MST can be chained to continuous S/T cards/effects and cause them to "resolve, without effect" (essentially negating them, without technically "negating" them)
Great vid! Would love to see more vids like this! Bionicle, Pokemon, all the ones you listed at the end!
Yo, I just found my old copy of The Eternal Duelist's Soul and started playing it again! Got a bunch of the DS games I never played lined up as result as well, like Dark Troubadour and the WCs. I think what makes Yu-gi-oh and Digimon so nostalgic were the rotating casts. Mind-boggling how many different responses you'll get on a favorite season/era.
Ash and Pikachu never really left us in comparison so even being a gen wunner doesn't feel like stepping into a new world every new generation. No shade, iykyk.
I need more videos like this one.
Great video I remember the anime,card game and playing the video games for yugioh. Good times.
5:34 Credit where it's due for going way harder on Barrel Dragon's edits than they really needed to. Wish that kind of dedication went into the Deputymon in Digimon Fusion who still clearly dropped bullets.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone describe a scorpion’s sting as being “bitten” by a scorpion. Is this a regional phrasing?
Eric Stuart is the guy who voiced both Brock and Seto Kaiba. I got to meet him at Metrotham Con back in early May. Really talented voice actor. He was the voice director for YuGiOh from 2001-2006. Only downside is that he didn't say "Screw the rules, I'm rich!" from the LittleKuriboh's Abridged Series.
Am I the only one who noticed all the new uh.. "other" Flandrews?
Nice, saw the previous Ruled the World vid for Phantom Menace and really wanted to see the proposed Yugioh vid. Glad to see it was one of the first ones out.
Great video. Really brought back some fond and wacky memories. Really wish you had mentioned takahashi passed away while saving someone from, I believe, a drowning. But maybe you didn’t know that. 👏🏻
Thank you for making this I love your channel and Yugioh it is the biggest part of my childhood, even more then anything star wars! Now all your viewers can know how awesome Yugioh was! And please feel free to make more Yugioh videos or videos in the series. I'm sure I'm not the only one (like my comment if you agree)!
I misread and I thought this video was about "When Yu-Gi-Oh ruined the world" 😂
Yooooo A Bionicle Ruled the World episode would be INSANE.
I freaking loved Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid! Just the original though since I stopped watching it after GX premiered. But man those days were crazy! I remember me and my friends would be at the playground dueling and trying to play by the rules but it was hard to do since the rules were so complicated. My very first Starter Deck was Joey's which I kind of regret since his cards were so goofy. Would've preferred Kaiba's or Pegasus's Starter Deck in hindsight. Also I remember getting fake Yu-Gi-Oh cards at one point and didn't realize they were fake until a few years later and then I threw them all away. And I remember getting some booster packs.
But man the anime itself was the best part of the whole franchise. It was so good!! Nothing will ever come close to that excitement of waking up on Saturday morning to catch the new episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh.
3:38 And in Zeal it's revealed the entire universe revolves around and was created by a card, the Numeron Code.
I was a Freshman in High School at the end of 02. I don't have the same yugi-boomer stories as many others because of that, but there was a time where it was kinda cool. Gravity Bind will always be my bae.
1:36 It was called Magic & Wizards (a reference to MTG, D&D and WotC all in one) at the time. I don't know how and why it changed.
Laws regarding advertising in cartoons is the reason why the localization had to simplify the cards' appearance, at least that's what I heard.
Funnily enough the “No tribute for monster” thing is actually how it worked under the first rule set in Japan. You could just drop Blue Eyes. The stars were basically just flavour. 😂
How forget when my friends and I went crazy collecting the cards, we never really learned the rules during our childhood but that didn't stop us from having a lot of fun, in a sense trying to find the best way to play was the most engaging part of the game.
And then there was fkg Steve, who only understood that with Exodia you would win for sure and had an Exodia-only deck. And yeah, he was right, since he always won in the end...😵
Would love a vid like this for all the franchises you showed
2:07 _Incorrectly_ know in the fandom as Season 0. Even though it's a completely different series.
1:24 This was actually adapted in the Duel Monsters anime except he's replaced with a mugger who wasn't established to be a jailbird, Atem challenged him to a game of Duel Monsters high and low (each of them draws one card from Yugi's deck whoever drew the monster with the highest attack points wins) and instead of burning to death, Atem mind crushed him. Sending his soul to the shadow realm. Also in the original Japanese version the episode he wasn't a mugger but a pervert, making the English dub actually closer to the original manga lol.
The purple yugioh card background 👩🍳💋
I was a huge harry potter fan back then and I almost buy a harry potter backpack from a kid in my neighborhood with my deck of cards haha. This video brought back some good memories
Nobody in my country was interested in YuGiOh, I don't even remember anyone selling card packs anywhere. But I do remember Spider-man cards, TMNT cards, and Bakugan's hysteria.
Even though i was born in 2008 and got introduce to Yugioh when it had pendulum cards. I still had fond memories of playing it with my friends at primary than playing pokemon tcg
10:56 BIONICLE, PLS!!!!
Rest in Peace, Takahashi
Great video, I was too into Pokémon to touch this, so it was nice to hear what all the hype was about. But those aren't 'Air Jordans' they are actually Air Max 95s 🙈
Awesome video, would love more of these!
Had to immediately leave to go watch that YuGiOh drug PSA before I could watch this any further - it's amazing
i love that i recognized all the cards in the thumbnail, the game today is impossible to get into. i miss the way the game used to be
Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon, Beyblade, and Digimon were the best monster anime franchise of all time.
This is fun, i was re-reading the Yu-Gi-Oh manga this week, and you come with this video.
A really nice video, btw.
I collected the cards back when the first few sets came out. Got back into the game out of curiosity in 2020/21 and was muddled by the new mechanics but I got the hang of it. Made the upper half top 10k cut for last year’s WCS Regional Qualifier in Master Duel and passed on this recent one due to time constraints(also I needed to sleep lol)
The Joey & Pegasus starter packs from 2002 are among my most prized possessions; I especially love the Pegasus deck for the Toon cards, plus Relinquished was probably my first introduction to, and what inspired my love of Lovecraftian style creatures
That being said, I’m bummed I never got the Yugi & Kaiba starter packs back then for whatever reason
Yu-gi-oh in the winter, Pokemon in the summer. that was mostly at the ages 12-17
The world would be a much more peaceful place if countries would wage war using card games
I love all ur videos, great job!
I remember watching the anime.
I only know Yu Gi Oh because of TheOdd1sout, so this is a learning experience for me. 1:10, 5:28, 10:56 I'd like to see you do Episode 2, Spider-Man, Bionicle and Harry Potter please.
I would like to see when Spider-Man ruled the world.
I was in 3rd grade when it aired. It was insane. They even banned yugioh cards in my elementary school that's how crazy it got
I hope you cover the games . I have fond memories of playing the capsule monsters and war of the roses on the ps2 . If only they got put onto the latest consoles
After GX, The game went into the shadow realm with the new mechanics
very good video, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
The video was great❤
But I was waiting for "when philsiopher's stone ruled the world" 😅
I hope it will be the next video.
I’d love to see more content like this from the channel! You’re not kidding about the classroom black market for these cards. As a kid it was truly like currency. I learned my first valuable lessons about economics and scams from trading YGO cards.
I still play Yu Gi Oh with my friends, but we only play the classic version, before GX, it's actually pretty enjoyable
New Flandrew video involving YuGiOh ! Best Sunday surprise !
Yu-Gi-Oh still rules the world. It's the people who don't see much of it since it ain't mainstream here other than in Japan
My introduction to the Yugioh anime was this UK kids show called 'Up on the Roof', which had a 4 or 5 episode Premiere. I remember the silly recaps where the presenter would dress up as all the characters. Pegasus was a Clothes Peg and when they mention rescuing Grandpa's soul,they would show an old man showing the bottom of his shoe.
I remember wanting a copy of Destiny Board so badly as a kid and one of my classmates had it and tried to scam me into trading my forbidden memories harpies pet dragon and magnet warrior set for it and being Gullible i almost did it until my instructor intervened and told me do not make that trade. Still love that teacher to this day and still have my Harpies Pet Dragon.
@4:20 it’s bc he got his soul taken by peagasus, they dueled for souls and peagasus wanted to use gramps soul as leverage to get yugi to duel him
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series still keeping it alive for me (a few times a year)!
Yu-Gi-Oh was technically after my time: I was already a teenager back then so while I was aware of it and watched the anime because I was an anime nerd who tried every show I could get on TV, my generation wasn't swept up in it. So it was fun to hear the kind of madness that those who were consumed by it got up to- makes me wonder how much money I'd have tried to spend if I was into it... or if my parents would have kept me in-line still, and I'd just have to enjoy it from the outside looking at those who DID get cards bought for them.
For sure a video on the different duel disks would be awesome. I've made 3 out of cardboard so far. No more needing to sit somewhere to duel. Also how about a videonon beyblade?
I started this series with the anime. This series is a giant hole that filled my heart. Me and my cousin would always go to this community warehouse every month to get the latest cards. Yes we were suckers to get the those Chinese fakes or those sticker in the sticker machines,but it was something close to the actual cards we get. The Games we played on the series was memorable. However we played a loose version of the anime (like allowing face up monsters in defense mode) and the actually tcg rules. Heck my reintroduction to the series started way back when we discovered the abridged series. I mostly am an old man with the card game and live for the days of the original rules,but I'd at least adapted with weekly Edison. Well I know I can't possibly lose at least with World Champ 2004 GBA.
Dian Keto the lunch lady 💀💀
Anytime i think about yugioh back in the day, i always come back to the same thought. "Man...i really wish i took better care of my old cards"
I remember binge watching the anime. My sister was obsessed with the game itself. We both LOVED the abridged series
(Which I'm hoping I caught a sneaky reference in the vid??)
Grew up with the 1st season of the anime and had the Yugi Starter Deck from about 2002~ or so. The old artwork was awesome and played into the horror aspects that got sanitized by 4kids. I 'grew out of it' by the time GX/5D's came around, so I missed how much the games morphed into the insane meta combofest it is now.
The Japanese card game came first and actually has slightly different card effects, to the point where officiated games of the TCG require you to have your country's localization of the cards only.
1:15 There is a nose on the lower panel, it's just unusually small.
Can we get a "When Magic the Gathering Ruled the World" video? They've been ruling for 30 years now
8:04 I have two decks like that 😂
Not only did those video games often have crazy rules, they were HARD. I remember playing Reshef of Destruction with an action replay cheat to replenish my life points and I STILL lost to the boss when he one shot me. Really cool story though, that and Sacred Cards
I would be interested in seeing a video of 'When Beyblade ruled the world'.
I lived somewhere in asia so I didn't have the same experiences when it comes to Yugioh but it was also pretty big here. Sadly, due to how expensive the cards are (they are imported to us after all), most of us ended up buying pirated ones (the bad spelling and grammar is a dead giveaway) but we didn't really have a choice as they were the also the most accessible as stores next to schools would be selling them.
My brother has two boxes filled with the cards and he used to play the game way back when he was younger. I didn't play and didn't understand the actual gameplay and only collected whatever cards I could get my hands on so my collection is really small. I loved the anime though and would watch it whenever it aired on tv. We didn't get the 4kids version so there was less censorship but the local dubbing still used the 4kids english names for the characters.
God, I had so many of those cards back in the day. Kept them in a photobook and would whip them out and duel. They’re probably rotting away in some attic nowadays.
What a great video, reminded me of my time sneaking behind my parents' backs to watch at least a few minutes of the anime back when I was little, they didn't let me watch it because it was "satanic" as Pokémon and basically the majority of cartoons and anime at the time.
Never got to experience the tcg until way later when I discovered the video games, now I love classic Yu Gi Oh although the other cards like XYZ, Link and things like that are way too confusing for me.
World Wide Edition is how I learned to play this game
That bit about Yugis grandad had me in stitches
I still love watching the animes every summer! Had a crush on bakura when I was little so watched with my brothers
