I mean for each signer, their signer dragon is obviously either their ace or boss monster, especially considering they usually play them and support as a part of their deck/core strategy.
Ah 5D's. The one who introduced summoning chants to the yu-gi-oh franchise (yes, yes, I know DM did it first with the Winged Dragon of Ra, but it was 5D's that made it a main feature and a staple going forward). Still my favorite season of the franchise. Thanks for this. Trully.
I just realized a major coincidence Junk Warrior and Decode Talker have 2300atk, are considered their other Aces besides their 2500atk monster, and were used and got the win in the final duels of their respective series
..... Anyone remember one of Jaden's other frequently played monsters with that attack? Because I'd say Yugi's backup ace is Gaia and that also has 2300 attack. The closest I can think of is flame wing man and that's 200 atk short.... Okay I just checked and the closest are Thunder giant with 2400 and E hero Gaia with 2200. Which is funny because there's a performer pal I think I remember Yuya using and 3 number monsters that may have been used in zexal? I didn't watch it so I don't know. Unless there's an anime only list I have no idea why Jaden seems to be the exception to this.
@@TheDark4lightYou mean Yuma Tsukumo the main protagonist of zexal never had an ace and was an amateur player not knowing anything about the game making misplays. If you consider the final duel between them Yuma ace (Utopic Future) and Astral's ace is (Utopia) in the final duel its exactly like DM's ceremonial duel. Yuya Sakaki has 4 if you consider the other 3 as one each considering the dimensions then its the 4 dimension dragons Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon.
I was unironically realizing that about 4-8 hours ago while doing some character leveling in Duel Links. Such a random but cool parallel. Also Yusei and Junk Warrior were the origin to the audience of Synchro Summoning, and Decode Talker and Play Maker were the origin of Link Monsters also. And Synchro and Link monsters are the most common (alongside Pendulum) summoning methods called out for being why yugioh fell off (which is dumb imo), and both Synchro Summoning and Link Summoning were creations of eras in the TCG. Synchro was big because it was the first new summoning style. Link was different because of Master Duel 4 before they made it the version we have today (if you don't know, imagine summoning from the extra deck required either the Extra Monster Zone or a Link Monster's Link arrow. Really imo dumb and I'm honestly glad I wasn't a duelist at the time, probably would've felt rough)
@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan Synchros, Xyz, and Pendulum where either one of each mechanic was supposed to be the last mechanic of the game. But somehow didn't happen till links came becoming the last one if you don't include (Maximum) but I don't mind it at all because even I enjoyed all of the mechanics and characters from each eras pros and cons of course are included.
Junk Warrior represents Yusei picking himself up and relying on his friends who may be weaker than him to help move him forward and motivate him. Stardust Dragon represents Yusei’s willingness to help others even at risk to himself. Which is exactly how and why he lost Stardust Dragon to Jack in the first place. They are both Yusei’s ace monsters for different reasons.
The Crow originally as a villain thing turned out to be unlikely. There's a really interesting reddit post talking about the theory and debunking it, from the OCG release date of the cards compared to the anime's production, to the design philosophy and attitude of the 5D's producer.
@@ezrawyvern6795 it literally makes no sense for anyone else. Jack was already hashed out, kalin had a really good enough reason honestly, but crow still is good even through hardship and fights WITH the signers. I'm convinced ppl don't pay attention .
@@Diamondr11Blue These are the same people who believe Carly's role in the anime was reduced and the series taking on more sci-fi elements because her seiyuu was found to be part of a cult. Despite the fact that when this was discovered, the show had already wrapped up production.
I would argue Hundred Eyes Dragon is Kiryu's Ace as a Dark Signer/during his fall to evil. Since it also fits thematically with his original backstory of trying to conquer all of Satellite, absorbing everything around him to further his ambitions. Eventually doing away with all other options, much like how Infernity limits one's freedom by giving up their hand. And then Infernity Death Dragon is his ace following his revival. Which fits his state of mind during Crashtown, since in that arc he was constantly taking extreme risks to see if he deserves redemption or if he should die as atonement for his past sins. So a card whose effect while strong actively handicaps his abilities makes thematic sense.
Junk Warrior is just a cool Synchro Monster. The first time I saw it in the anime was a fun experience. Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Deagon, and Black-Winged Dragon are also my favorite ace monsters, too.
I love Junk warrior. It holds a special place in my heart along with Junk synchron as those two were the cards I really wanted when I was a kid. I still hope for a retrain/upgrade of Junk warrior as he was Yusei's ace for a good portion of the first season
For Crow it's definitely Armor master, since he worked to get it out as he was not a Signer at first. And the warrior aspect reflects that he fights for other's especially the Orphans in the slums.
@davidwhidden9337 I really liked his character arc. He knows he's not destined for the fight with the Dark Signers yet took on the Mantle because it was the right thing to do. Then, for his righteousness and sacrifice, he was rewarded with the Mark of the Signer. So he can fight alongside his friends to defend Huamnity. And he eventually got his Destined Dragon and the Truth about his Best friend/ mentor.
13:52 Similar to Alexis in the GX video, Kalin seemed to use Vorse Raider and before his first duel with Yusei, Kalin threw it at Yusei and Crow Yusei recognizes the card in season 1 ep 32 maybe as a familiar card from Kalin’s deck in the English Dub
The Signer Dragons are so cool and I'm so glad years later, we get evolutions for the rest of them. Though I'm still waiting for the Ancient Fairy Dragon one, Konami!
As much as I love the idea of his aces being his personality depicted on Junk Warrior and Stardust Dragon, I can't shake the feeling that Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior deserve a spot as well.
Yugioh 5ds is my favorite season of the franchise. It had great characters (jack atlas is a riot lol), an over the top story that only yugioh could make, best girl Akiza Izinski, and some of the best ace monster Hell when i got back into yugioh a few years ago the first thing i did was buy all of the signers ace monsters and as much of their variants as I could. And this just in, they made black wing dragon assault mode! That means pretty soon the rest of the aces will get more as well and I'm all here for it lol
I love that Stardust Dragon has a trap card that special summon him,but only if your oponent try to destroy 2 of your cards which could by seen as if you hurt Yusei he docent care,but if you hurt more people then just him which would make sense
It's interesting how you brought up the whole "Crow was suppose to be a dark singer" theory since there's tons of proof between both sides on whether or not that is true or not, with the biggest one being the lack of time between when Crow was introduced vs when the Blackwings came to the ocg
@@Diamondr11Blue him being a dark singer sure that can be possible, him being a good guy cause people thought Blackwings were cool, can't be the reason why they switch though
Reminder that the thing with Crow Hogan being a villan was a flase rumor that's been debunked heavily. I don't remember the details on the top of my head but theres details out there disproving this heavily
So tired of this crackthreory. He has no reason to be evil, we don't need kalin 2.0. The kids wouldn't be a trigger since he was angry but still fighting on the good side. Besides if he had to fight the Signers he would have to face kids, which he would never hurt!
@@Diamondr11Blue and then on top of that, the part that disproves it is based on time frame. I'm remembering it a bit more, but from what I remember, when Crow showed up in 5Ds in Japan, Black wings weren't even released yet, and one of the if not the main reason people "think they changed" it was because people liked Blackwings, and they were good in comp. Literally impossible to predict with the animation pipeline so they would've had to scrap mid animating a lot of hard work that also costed money, it's objectively a bad business decision. So they definitely didn't
@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan his cards came out a month after his debut and by that time infernities and synchron / plant archetype were popular. Besides on the concept arts we see the dark signers with no crow. Crow has his own art and there's one before it with resemblance to him is all
@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan seems to be a bunch of bitter akiza fans blaming him and making this weird shit up. Yusei's the one who truly stole thr spotlight from everyone
I remember while watching I also came up with a "Junk" theme deck but they had a more "Frankenstein" look as in being a patchwork creation made out of multiple parts. That deck had a slight Fantasy theme with monsters like Junkyard King, Queen, Knight and Dragon
The story about the spider is interesting, there is a Christian story that's exactly the same about an apple. There was a sinner in hell who was evil, but her guardian angel pleaded to God for mercy mentioning that she once gave an apple to a beggar. God said okay you can take an apple and tell her to hold onto it and pull her up. The angel rushed to hell reached out the apple and started pulling her up. Other sinners started grabbing on and was being pulled up with her, she got angry and started kicking them off saying this is my apple I did the good deed, and once she did that the apple broke and she was flung back to hell. I am curious to see which story came first between the Japanese one about the spider and the Christian one about the apple.
I definitely agree that each Signers Dragon monster is their Ace. However, many of the Signers run multiple archetypes in their decks, so I'd argue that they would have another Ace monster alongside their respective Dragon. For a few examples, Yusei has a Stardust Synchron Junk deck, so as you mention Stardust Dragon and Junk Warrior/Junk Synchron would likely be the Aces for his deck (alongside maybe like Junk Guardna or something as well), Jack has an Archfiend Resonator deck so alongside Red Dragon Archfiend I think one of the Resonators would probably be his other Ace, Crow has a Blackwing deck, so as you mention Armor Master and Black-Winged Dragon would both be his Aces, and Leo has a Morphtronic deck, so I feel like he'd have a Morphtronic Ace as well as his Power Tool Dragon/Life Stream Dragon. I also agree with the Dark Signer Aces, if you aren't going with the Earthbound Immortals (which I can see an argument for) then whatever their Dark Synchro is, like shown in the video for most of them, would probably count as their Ace, with some of them having other Aces in the Fortune Fairies/Fortune Ladies, Infernities, etc. as Aces alongside their Earthbound Immortal/Dark Synchro. Basically, I feel like each archetype/group in the characters deck would give them an Ace in addition to whatever Ace they would have if it wasn't already included.
Stardust: Protection Red Dragon Archfiend: Power Black Rose Dragon: Destruction Ancient Fairy Dragon: Spirit Guardian Lifestream Dragon: Life force Black Wing Dragon: Masochist?🤷♂️
I'd offer up Endurance. Black Wing Dragon's able to take on damaging effects onto itself to shield others, and hold out long enough to dish out that same pain back.
I think it's fun to think of Rex Goodwin's ace monsters as being his "Signer Dragon" and Dark Signer ace. Obviously putting Signer Dragon in quotes, as he wasn't actually chosen to be a Signer, he literally just put on his brother's arm. But it does fit in with the theme of Signers having Dragon ace monsters.
6:21 that's actually not true. It was never said so this misconception started from some fan's theory on an old blog and spread. Crow originally wasn't supposed to be a signer but he also wasn't supposed to be a dark signer. We know this because in a flashback to Crimson Dragon defeating the Earthbound Immortals you can see Life Stream there but not Black Winged Dragon.
Psychic School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has got to be the best thing I heard today haha. I remember from Day 1 my brother had Crow's booster/Starter deck and he had Blackwing Dragon, I believe I had the Junk Destroyer Booster/Starter deck at the time or the one with Stardust Dragon, sadly can't really remember too clearly as memory can be terrible at times but I definitely know my brother had Crow's deck and I had Yusei's deck
3:40 you actually want to know that they were not the only ones that got their megas, in digimon adventure tri, which is a continuation of the originals, we see the megaevolutions of every other character, and as a matter of fact, before this arc we actually can see that other 2 gets their megas, this being angemon and angewomon on a movie
In the manga - Yusei: Lightning Warrior, and then Flash-Karat Dragon - Stardust Jack: King of Divine Punishment - Black Highlander, and then Jeweled Demon Dragon - Red Daemon Aki: Gallant Angel - Queen of Rose and Great Gallant Demon Angel Rosarian, but then Moon Flower Dragon - Black Rose Crow: Black Feather Tamer - Hawk Joe the Jet Black, and of course Darkwing Dragon - Black Feather Lua and Luka: Machine Dragon - Power Tool and Fairy Dragon - Ancient Kiryu: Infernity General and Purgatory Dragon - Ogre Dragoon Rudger: Underworld Dragon - Dragonecro and its upgrade Underworld Corrupted Dragon - Dragocytus Rex: Heavenly Supreme Dragon - Dragoascension, Ultimaya Tzolkin and its counterpart Ultimate Phantasmal God Ultimitl Bishbaalkin
Crow summon armor master more than black wings dragon and use in important duel too. Plus you can see armed is the younger version of armor master to full armor master
Pretty cool that Yusei has two ace monsters that represent his different traits. Junk warrior represents his bond with his friends and Stardust dragon represents his need to protect them.
I just realized that out of all the Yu-Gi-Oh characters, we actually know definitively what is in 99% of Aporia's deck. Since in the anime, each of the three Meklord Emperors are actually five monster cards each, plus the three different core cards that gets them out, three Meklord Army cards, Meklord Astro Mekanikle, and Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk, that is 23 monster cards in total. And throughout his duels, we see him use 9 Spells, and 7 traps. In total, that is 39 cards, meaning there is at least 1 card in his deck we have never seen him use. It is fascinating to me that we practically have a complete deck profile for one of the main villains in the anime.
For Z-ONE, I'm thinking of his circle traps being his aces. I don't know why it would be metaion exactly since it is one of the 10 timelords and it's not necessarily one of the win conditions of the deck.
If/when you get to Vrains which monster are you going to use for Yusaku's ace monster? Firewall was originally intended to be the ace monster but because it got limited it was barely used in the show and when it got banned Yusaku never used it again during the final duel. Decode was used more than Firewall but it was only summoned on screen once during season 2 so it wasn't treated like his ace either, but he was used during the final duel. But Firewall has all the big ace monster evolutions like Stardust does so Idk...
Stardust is Yusei's primary ace, Junk Warrior would be like his DMG a weaker monster but they still use them all the time, because Stardust is what makes him plot relevant as a Signer, no plot dragon no Signer status Junk Warrior is probably the closest to being a full ace though and further support's my theory that if the protagonist ace's primary effect is to increase it's atk it will be lower than 2500 to retain it's underdog status 3:51 you kinda need to clarify "the original" because everyone gets Mega in the 2020 reboot
Man every time you talk about 5d, you make me wish that you will release video like you did for duel monsters and gx for the power of all the characters in the series😢🙌
Yusei’s ace should definitely count as both Junk Warrior and Stardust Dragon since until Yusei regained his Stardust Dragon Junk Warrior was definitely his ace card
Crow's ace is his blackwing card. He uses it the most and it fits his strategies. Black Winged Dragon appears AFTER the signer arc, doesn't really fit the deck after it's first appearence and fits better as his boss monster by those parameters.
I think for Z-ONE his Boss Monster is all the time lords. As each of them represent part of Z-ONE’s despair of his unsuccessful attempts to try and stop his catastrophe with no success results endlessly.
The other Digi-Destined's Digimon did get Mega level evolutions. Kari and TK got Seraphimon and Magnadramon in the first Digimon movie (Angewomon should still have digivolved in to Ophanimon because Ophanimon is in Gatomon's evolution line)
I think Carly's ace is Hikari since that's the "Super Happy" fortune card. For Fortune Ladies, I think the only real ace is Every, but that wasn't in the anime of course. For Kalin, I think Hundred-Eyes Dragon is his ace as a Dark Signer and Infernity Doom Dragon becomes his ace after the Dark Signers arc, since he no longer has Hundred-Eyes as it was a Dark Synchro monster.
Can we please put the whole 'Crow was gonna be a villain' and 'got promoted to signer due BW popularity' rumors to rest? They've been debunked for years and never withstood scrutiny. Same with many other rumors that seem to plague 5Ds for no reason. 5D's production has a whole history that's interesting without digging up actual nonsense. I recommend the fantastic 5D's retrospective video by Foxcade for people that want to delve into it
Kalin actually has 4 aces: Signer: hundred eyes dragon. His dark synchro. Reaper: infernity death dragon. His infernity archetype true ace synchro. Game: trishula dragon of the ice barrier. An ace of certain Tcg meta. Manga: void ogre dragon. His duel dragon (equivalent of signer dragon)
19:33 I'm sorry but I have to call you out, mate. I know it's not on purpose, but whoever told that the c in Leblanc can be pronounced doesn't know how to speak french. I'm clearly nitpicking on small details, but I couldn't hold back my rent on this Besides that, it's a fantastic video as usual
I got Stardust Dragon as my first Synchro back at the day in 1. Edition Super Rare. And guess what I got as 25. Year Edition? Stardust Dragon. I love him.
So to talk about that Crow thing: it’s not true. Blackwings were released in November 7th 2012 with the episode airing Crow aired in November 28th and knowing how animation works it wouldn’t be possible or realistic to change it within that timeframe. It’s fake that someone on Reddit made up. Same with Carly’s Va being in a cult causing her to be written out of the final arc of 5Ds
When you’re done with this particular series of videos, you should back through and do it again except for the mangas instead of the anime. Lazar and Rex gets better aces monster in the manga!
The way you pronounced Meklord Astro Mekanikle is great. "Mecha Nickle" (You just pronounce it like in real life if it was spelled correctly as 'mechanical') XD
6:13 We don't know that for sure, we don't know that for sure; I dislike him as much as the next sane person, but the theory is mere rumor, nothing confirmed beyond "not originally going to be Signer"; please stop, please stop.
@soukenmarufwt5224 Never said it was real. Only that with his character and how he was initially introduced, he would have been a very good dark signer character.
Nope. No motive, wouodve been a kalin ripoff. Can't say the kids since when he lost them he STILL fought for good. If he had to face the Signers he would have to hurt the kids, which he wouldn't do 🥱

Kalin's ace depends on which version of him. In anime, it is doom dragon for reaper kalin and hundred eyes for dark signer kalin.

@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan his cards came out a month after his debut and by that time infernities and synchron / plant archetype were popular. Besides on the concept arts we see the dark signers with no crow. Crow has his own art and there's one before it with resemblance to him is all
@@Diamondr11Blue hopefully some random people saw this an learned the truth
@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan seems to be a bunch of bitter akiza fans blaming him and making this weird shit up. Yusei's the one who truly stole thr spotlight from everyone
I thought Crow being a villain was a debunked theory.
It is literally debunked with two seconds of Googling, idk how large creators keep promoting it.
I remember while watching I also came up with a "Junk" theme deck but they had a more "Frankenstein" look as in being a patchwork creation made out of multiple parts. That deck had a slight Fantasy theme with monsters like Junkyard King, Queen, Knight and Dragon
Would have been great for Carly if they had the Fortune Lady Every Synchro Monster in the anime as that would have been her Ace.
What i learned from this video is that in order for a monster to be an ace monster its effect has to inflict between 400-800 damage to your opponent
The story about the spider is interesting, there is a Christian story that's exactly the same about an apple. There was a sinner in hell who was evil, but her guardian angel pleaded to God for mercy mentioning that she once gave an apple to a beggar. God said okay you can take an apple and tell her to hold onto it and pull her up. The angel rushed to hell reached out the apple and started pulling her up. Other sinners started grabbing on and was being pulled up with her, she got angry and started kicking them off saying this is my apple I did the good deed, and once she did that the apple broke and she was flung back to hell.
I am curious to see which story came first between the Japanese one about the spider and the Christian one about the apple.
I definitely agree that each Signers Dragon monster is their Ace. However, many of the Signers run multiple archetypes in their decks, so I'd argue that they would have another Ace monster alongside their respective Dragon. For a few examples, Yusei has a Stardust Synchron Junk deck, so as you mention Stardust Dragon and Junk Warrior/Junk Synchron would likely be the Aces for his deck (alongside maybe like Junk Guardna or something as well), Jack has an Archfiend Resonator deck so alongside Red Dragon Archfiend I think one of the Resonators would probably be his other Ace, Crow has a Blackwing deck, so as you mention Armor Master and Black-Winged Dragon would both be his Aces, and Leo has a Morphtronic deck, so I feel like he'd have a Morphtronic Ace as well as his Power Tool Dragon/Life Stream Dragon.
I also agree with the Dark Signer Aces, if you aren't going with the Earthbound Immortals (which I can see an argument for) then whatever their Dark Synchro is, like shown in the video for most of them, would probably count as their Ace, with some of them having other Aces in the Fortune Fairies/Fortune Ladies, Infernities, etc. as Aces alongside their Earthbound Immortal/Dark Synchro.
Basically, I feel like each archetype/group in the characters deck would give them an Ace in addition to whatever Ace they would have if it wasn't already included.
Stardust: Protection
Red Dragon Archfiend: Power
Black Rose Dragon: Destruction
Ancient Fairy Dragon: Spirit Guardian
Lifestream Dragon: Life force
Black Wing Dragon: Masochist?🤷♂️
Uh, camaraderie.
Gamble lol
I'd offer up Endurance. Black Wing Dragon's able to take on damaging effects onto itself to shield others, and hold out long enough to dish out that same pain back.
Damage drain is protection/ sacrifice w/o having to leave the field. Stardust does similar but you lose a monster in the process
@@Wolfboss7 sounds good
I think it's fun to think of Rex Goodwin's ace monsters as being his "Signer Dragon" and Dark Signer ace. Obviously putting Signer Dragon in quotes, as he wasn't actually chosen to be a Signer, he literally just put on his brother's arm. But it does fit in with the theme of Signers having Dragon ace monsters.
Yusei-Wind
Jack-Dark
Akiza-Fire
Luna-Light
Leo-Earth
Crow-Double Dark
Why is that funny
What? No love for Water? (If the Crimson Dragon card appeared in the anime, do you think it would’ve been Divine?)
I'd say between 5Ds and Arc V are my top series of Yu-Gi-Oh that I utterly enjoyed from start to finish
6:21 that's actually not true. It was never said so this misconception started from some fan's theory on an old blog and spread. Crow originally wasn't supposed to be a signer but he also wasn't supposed to be a dark signer. We know this because in a flashback to Crimson Dragon defeating the Earthbound Immortals you can see Life Stream there but not Black Winged Dragon.
I'm loving this series. Ngl though, it'll be hard to to top GX with just how.... insanely hard it is to nail down Jaden's Ace.
Psychic School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has got to be the best thing I heard today haha.
I remember from Day 1 my brother had Crow's booster/Starter deck and he had Blackwing Dragon, I believe I had the Junk Destroyer Booster/Starter deck at the time or the one with Stardust Dragon, sadly can't really remember too clearly as memory can be terrible at times but I definitely know my brother had Crow's deck and I had Yusei's deck
Letsgoooo I’ve been wanting for this video as I love Team 5ds. Thank you Tgs anime!
3:40 you actually want to know that they were not the only ones that got their megas, in digimon adventure tri, which is a continuation of the originals, we see the megaevolutions of every other character, and as a matter of fact, before this arc we actually can see that other 2 gets their megas, this being angemon and angewomon on a movie
In the manga -
Yusei: Lightning Warrior, and then Flash-Karat Dragon - Stardust
Jack: King of Divine Punishment - Black Highlander, and then Jeweled Demon Dragon - Red Daemon
Aki: Gallant Angel - Queen of Rose and Great Gallant Demon Angel Rosarian, but then Moon Flower Dragon - Black Rose
Crow: Black Feather Tamer - Hawk Joe the Jet Black, and of course Darkwing Dragon - Black Feather
Lua and Luka: Machine Dragon - Power Tool and Fairy Dragon - Ancient
Kiryu: Infernity General and Purgatory Dragon - Ogre Dragoon
Rudger: Underworld Dragon - Dragonecro and its upgrade Underworld Corrupted Dragon - Dragocytus
Rex: Heavenly Supreme Dragon - Dragoascension, Ultimaya Tzolkin and its counterpart Ultimate Phantasmal God Ultimitl Bishbaalkin
Red Dragon Archfiend is my favorite Ace card in 5Ds
I noticed in Yugioh that the ace monsters of main heroes usuallt have 2500 ATK whereas their friendly rivals have 3000 ATK
Crow summon armor master more than black wings dragon and use in important duel too. Plus you can see armed is the younger version of armor master to full armor master
It’s pretty cool that Yusei has a main ace in Stardust and a sub ace in Junk Warrior and all the other synchro warriors are his backup arsenal.
Ancient Fairy Dragon is the only one left to have an upgrade. Can't wait to see what it does.
Considering it was on the ban list for some time, what "upgrade" are you really expecting here?
Pretty cool that Yusei has two ace monsters that represent his different traits. Junk warrior represents his bond with his friends and Stardust dragon represents his need to protect them.
I just realized that out of all the Yu-Gi-Oh characters, we actually know definitively what is in 99% of Aporia's deck. Since in the anime, each of the three Meklord Emperors are actually five monster cards each, plus the three different core cards that gets them out, three Meklord Army cards, Meklord Astro Mekanikle, and Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk, that is 23 monster cards in total. And throughout his duels, we see him use 9 Spells, and 7 traps. In total, that is 39 cards, meaning there is at least 1 card in his deck we have never seen him use.
It is fascinating to me that we practically have a complete deck profile for one of the main villains in the anime.
Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh fan here. Loved the reference!
For Z-ONE, I'm thinking of his circle traps being his aces.
I don't know why it would be metaion exactly since it is one of the 10 timelords and it's not necessarily one of the win conditions of the deck.
Infinite machine? Empty machine? For aporia it would be astromachinikle maybe
If/when you get to Vrains which monster are you going to use for Yusaku's ace monster? Firewall was originally intended to be the ace monster but because it got limited it was barely used in the show and when it got banned Yusaku never used it again during the final duel. Decode was used more than Firewall but it was only summoned on screen once during season 2 so it wasn't treated like his ace either, but he was used during the final duel. But Firewall has all the big ace monster evolutions like Stardust does so Idk...
Hi TGS Anime I love this and I hope you have a good day and my favorite one out of the singer dragon is stardust dragon
Life stream Dragon is so painfully crap, it’s tear inducing.
Stardust is Yusei's primary ace, Junk Warrior would be like his DMG a weaker monster but they still use them all the time, because Stardust is what makes him plot relevant as a Signer, no plot dragon no Signer status
Junk Warrior is probably the closest to being a full ace though and further support's my theory that if the protagonist ace's primary effect is to increase it's atk it will be lower than 2500 to retain it's underdog status
3:51 you kinda need to clarify "the original" because everyone gets Mega in the 2020 reboot
Man every time you talk about 5d, you make me wish that you will release video like you did for duel monsters and gx for the power of all the characters in the series😢🙌
Yusei’s ace should definitely count as both Junk Warrior and Stardust Dragon since until Yusei regained his Stardust Dragon Junk Warrior was definitely his ace card
Crow's ace is his blackwing card. He uses it the most and it fits his strategies. Black Winged Dragon appears AFTER the signer arc, doesn't really fit the deck after it's first appearence and fits better as his boss monster by those parameters.
i am disappointed that yusei's ace card is not speed warrior due to the fact that he summons speed warrior all the freaking time
I think for Z-ONE his Boss Monster is all the time lords. As each of them represent part of Z-ONE’s despair of his unsuccessful attempts to try and stop his catastrophe with no success results endlessly.
Imo Crow's ace is Blacking Bora the spear. He pretty much opened it in every single duel he was in. I'd consider the dragon more of his boss.
Since it was released, Black Rose Dragon has been my favorite card
The other Digi-Destined's Digimon did get Mega level evolutions. Kari and TK got Seraphimon and Magnadramon in the first Digimon movie (Angewomon should still have digivolved in to Ophanimon because Ophanimon is in Gatomon's evolution line)
Actually they didn't get them until the third movie/third part of the Dub movie.
It was the third movie actually
crow hogan's blackwing deck was my absolute favourite deck in the series
Yusei's ace is his trusty speed warrior that is always in his opening hand.
Fun fact : moon and sun dragon are reference to sun and moon pyramids of the azrecs since 5Ds is inspired by the aztec mythology alot.
Dude, YGO 5Ds and Digimon season 1 are the same thing!
Yusei and Jack = Ty and Matt
Angelmon= Ancient Fairu Dragon.
Garudamon= Black Wing Dragon.
Etc.
When you do Zexal, please do III, IV, and V’s aces
Yo tg you ever thought about doing a vid on your own personal deck ? Can’t lie pretty curious to hear bout it 0:27
Finally, this was the video I was waiting for.
That’s a good point Armor Master is probably Crow Ace and Black Winged Dragon is more of his boss monster
For carlys ace, the mirroring is quite an argument.... in her good form, wonder stone came to my mind tbh
I think Carly's ace is Hikari since that's the "Super Happy" fortune card. For Fortune Ladies, I think the only real ace is Every, but that wasn't in the anime of course. For Kalin, I think Hundred-Eyes Dragon is his ace as a Dark Signer and Infernity Doom Dragon becomes his ace after the Dark Signers arc, since he no longer has Hundred-Eyes as it was a Dark Synchro monster.
*sees Akiza in the thumbnail *
Well, excuse me while I go "shuffle" my "deck"
Crow was meant to be dark singer was just rumor
Exactly
Can we please put the whole 'Crow was gonna be a villain' and 'got promoted to signer due BW popularity' rumors to rest? They've been debunked for years and never withstood scrutiny. Same with many other rumors that seem to plague 5Ds for no reason. 5D's production has a whole history that's interesting without digging up actual nonsense. I recommend the fantastic 5D's retrospective video by Foxcade for people that want to delve into it
Kalin actually has 4 aces:
Signer: hundred eyes dragon. His dark synchro.
Reaper: infernity death dragon. His infernity archetype true ace synchro.
Game: trishula dragon of the ice barrier. An ace of certain Tcg meta.
Manga: void ogre dragon. His duel dragon (equivalent of signer dragon)
19:33 I'm sorry but I have to call you out, mate. I know it's not on purpose, but whoever told that the c in Leblanc can be pronounced doesn't know how to speak french. I'm clearly nitpicking on small details, but I couldn't hold back my rent on this
Besides that, it's a fantastic video as usual
15:15 Life has many doors, Ed boy
You need to do a vidoe on the archetype weilded by Leon Wilson/ Von Schroeder, fairy tail cards.
Lord of D
D.D. DRAGON
D/D/D ARCHTYPE
D/D/D/D sub archtype
5 D's series
6 D's D stands for dragon and in 5D's there are 6 Dragons
Thanks Mr. Yugioh man you made my cardio way more fun
Imagine being Griga your cult friends have unique ace monster and he was like "ah yes my ace monster FTK machine"
I think I need to bring this up, so, when’s the next unboxing video? It’s been 6 months since your last one, and I was curious as to where they went.
Yo tg you ever thought about doing a vid on your own personal deck ? Can’t lie pretty curious to hear bout it
With Greiger you forgot dark flattop when he became a dark signer
I got Stardust Dragon as my first Synchro back at the day in 1. Edition Super Rare. And guess what I got as 25. Year Edition? Stardust Dragon. I love him.
So to talk about that Crow thing: it’s not true. Blackwings were released in November 7th 2012 with the episode airing Crow aired in November 28th and knowing how animation works it wouldn’t be possible or realistic to change it within that timeframe. It’s fake that someone on Reddit made up. Same with Carly’s Va being in a cult causing her to be written out of the final arc of 5Ds
When you’re done with this particular series of videos, you should back through and do it again except for the mangas instead of the anime. Lazar and Rex gets better aces monster in the manga!
For Kalin, I'd argue his Crashtown BOSS is Infernity Doom Dragon... but his Crashtown Ace is Infernity Zero
Its too bad we never got a yugioh gx season 4 dub and a yugioh season 3 dub. I still wish they would happen, cause it would wrap there seasons up.
I feel like dark synchro summoning is a mechanic konami wanted to imply but couldn't because it would be over complicated
The way you pronounced Meklord Astro Mekanikle is great. "Mecha Nickle" (You just pronounce it like in real life if it was spelled correctly as 'mechanical') XD
6:13 We don't know that for sure, we don't know that for sure; I dislike him as much as the next sane person, but the theory is mere rumor, nothing confirmed beyond "not originally going to be Signer"; please stop, please stop.
Why do you dislike him? Akiza?
Crow would have been an amazing dark signer.
This has been disproven multiple times.
That post was a troll post fan boys fell for years ago and still fall for it.
@soukenmarufwt5224 Never said it was real. Only that with his character and how he was initially introduced, he would have been a very good dark signer character.
now you provide proof @@soukenmarufwt5224
Nope. No motive, wouodve been a kalin ripoff. Can't say the kids since when he lost them he STILL fought for good. If he had to face the Signers he would have to hurt the kids, which he wouldn't do 🥱
@@RFDN0 how? Kalin already takes the cake
Can we get the Duel Analysis for Aporia Vs Jack, Leo and Luna?
great video love this series
0:42
No, no, not _that_ kind of Dark Synchro Monster, people. Keep up.
