I limited my choices to only 15 characters from each of the series. Some of those characters where cut off due to some problems with “tierlistmaker” Finally these are my personal choices, yours may differ and that’s fine! I’d love to hear who you would move up or down. Hope you all enjoyed regardless 😁
@Nyndeed I mean you can't really say it's slow when all decks sorta followed that same formula back then, if they are all slow then wouldn't they all be balanced? I don't remember that many decks pre gx that would let you special summon like 2 to 3 monsters in 1 turn. That being said I would agree that while the strategy is basic you can't really fault the deck because the game was more primitive back when it started compared to present. Before you would build a deck with a balanced amount of spells traps and monsters, nowadays you could get away with playing very little back row if your monsters have the right synergy and appropriate effects to negate your opponent.
Sanlaitto Yero Ouberdoraivu My point is that a lot of the duelist in vrains or arcv could otk kaiba or yugi. Yugi and kaiba are just that high cause of nostalgia
I mean, the guy beat Yugi. I'd say high B. To be fair, I lost interest so I haven't watched Yu-Gi-Oh beyond 5D's, and therefore, don't know anyone in Zexal, Arc V, or Vrains.
You can be a good scientist without being a good duelist. Kaiba's deck was actually crap, and he would get beaten by anyone for any later shows, like Zane, Yusei, Jack etc. Heck, even yuma could probably beat him. You gotta take your nostalgia goggles off man.
yeah, *THE CHAZZ* would most definitely be high A if we judged him based on his greatest accomplishments. If you look at his record, he managed to beat nearly the *entirety of the student body of duel academy* at least TWICE (also winning the GX tournament in the process), making him have the most wins of ANY CHARACTER IN ANY OF THE SERIES. His biggest failiures come from his losses against adrian Gekko and Sartorius.
Seto Kaiba is most definitely an S class duelist. There is a reason why he is Yami Yugi's rival. It wasn't a walk in the park for the pharaoh to win against Seto. Every duel really went down to the last wire especially in the arena at Battle City. Even in their first duel, it took Exodia to win. He even beat Ishizu Ishtar and she was using magic. Kaiba also has the will to draw whatever card he needs and this has been stated in the series multiple times. Kaiba is an S class duelist.
Kaiba's biggest problem is that he always loses to a big villain. He even lost to Noah, the antagonist of his family's arc, leaving Yugi to clean up the pieces again.
To be fair yugi litterally has kaiba beat every single time they dueled (the second time against kaiba counts since he has him beat but yugi didn’t wanna accidentally kill him)
Nope moreso cause chazz is garbagio in diapers, he can't even ABC right, Zane, Jaden, and Jesse are all better duelists than manjoume/ princeton. "The Chazz" couldn't even handle Darkness let alone Kagemaru.
Yubel in B?? She literally went around and systematically beat 99% of all the GX characters using their own decks against them. Easy A class if not S. Yubel us incredibly strong and versatile.
@@crashboredom2 Yeah, a good deck doesnt matter if they cant use it right, a bad deck can be good if used well, I mean no one expects an awful deck to be used in a good way, so it would surprise someone more easily
@@kinglysander100 Nah I think you should watch the video again. Next time do your due diligence by being more deductive rather than typing nonsensical messages 😂
Yubel in general was pretty bad deck wise. She depended on using the sacred beast fusions. Which honestly is a pretty bad card where you can just put your card in defense position or negate the attack then the card will be 0 attack points.
That incredibly awkward moment where you include Yuma’s classmates who do pretty much nothing but don’t include the Arclights or most of the Barian Emperors.
TGS: * hovers Zane over C tier * Me: Don’t You do it TGS: * puts him in A tier * Me: whew TGS:* reconsiders and puts him in B * Me: *Internal Screaming*
Dark magician girl should be on here, she is basically a bigger mascot than kuribo, she's even the first magician yugi plays in the movie. She is also a duelist while still being a monster.
Putting the Chazz in C tier despite the fact in season 4 he defeated Aster and could have defeated Jaden, but choose to not use the trap card that would have won him the game.
@@ARod3 because the plot of the episode was to get chazz to become a pro duelist so they made him duel jaden and aster but in a ojama uniform and act like a clown. He dueled jaden and lost on purpose because someone higher up told him to, and then dueled aster but he didn't want to be a clown anymore and enter the pro league because he was actually a great duelist so he didn't throw against aster and beat him
@@soul24311 aster sucks as a character tho, he is the counterpart of jaden and his deck, but he never did anything meaningfull, chazzs deck sucks and his design too, but he is a great character, he is THE CHAZZ
I am watching Zexal for the first time now, early on when Shark and Yuma tag dueled against those gangsters they called out their opponents for stacking their decks to draw the exact situational cards they needed at the right time. Knowing Yuma can do shining draw later (and the writer does this for practically every character except Brave Battler) makes this hilarious.
@@kingofgrim4761 or did they? If you watch yugi and kaiba's duel in battle city they spend more time trying to summon the damn things just for both of them to be immediately destroyed. Not to mention ra has some random summoning condition that requires the user to read Hyrogliphics. I'm convinced that yugi, kaiba and marik were only using them to flex on everyone.
@Anand Shirendev you could say the same for great moth in season 1. The show plays up boss monsters cuz it's a 22 minute commercial, cards with difficult summoning conditions that result in oversized beat sticks are terrible cards. The God cards, even with their anime effects are just flex cards.
12:54 Pegasus had Aster Phoenix in his top 5 best duelist (as number 4 and Kaiba as #2) so yeah they're comparable, same tier probably. Also Zane is easily A tier, he rivaled Jaden, he beat him and then got a draw in their final duel. Peak Zane is easily protagonist tier he gives me a bit of Kaiba vibes with a better personality but overall he's A or high B because the writing fucked him over with his personal arc
Granted, Dark Marik wanted to win through torture, but underestimated Jounouchi's will power. Otherwise, Dark Marik wouldn't have brought back Ra for only one turn.
@@jadehurley5271 he is not a bad deck he has ojamas in that duel and is not boring alexis is the second best written female character in yugioh franchise after akiza and along with akiza the hottest :D and that he loves jaden: D and looking skill is the best female duelist because akiza had psychic powers and in gx counting only the main characters after jaden, zane and aster is the best duelist, as well statistically the best of female characters as the channel put in a video where it ranks 7th by watching all the characters.
My opinion -Kaiba should be S tier -Pegasus should be high A -Antinomy (Bruno) should be A tier -Bakura should be higher than Crow, and Marik should be right in front of Bakura
@@zozidedodo780 so did marik. i mean honestly out of the important duel he only won against bakura. Against Mai: Deus Ex Machina bullshit (you need to speak accient egyptian otherwise mai would have won). Against Joey? Well Joey fell into a coma, otherwise he would have won. And in the 4-way duel he was the first to drop out.
Lol, 3 orichalcos field spells, infinite attack divine serpent, 20000 atk shunorous, it’s arms that are always 300 points stronger then any atk or def of a monster, mirror knight calling, kuytora that absorbs all damage like wtf, who made these cards? Lol
I honestly think Judai should be S tier when taking into account feats he displayed in anime. He defeated Deck out Duelist by a Deck Out in Season 2 by turning his strategy against him. In Season 3 he demolished Reficule Burn combo. In Season 4 he defeated Horus Degree Lockdown Deck with Neos even if he was sealed from using Spell and Traps. Against Saiou/Sartorious in Season 4 despite being sealed away from summoning a monster and getting his deck send to graveyard through Arcana Force Monsters, he still managed to turn it around and win the duel. Yugi should also be S tier ad he defeated 3 Gods and Yami Bakura's Destiny Board. I really think their accimplishments are worthy as Atem or Yusei's, if not even more so.
Yusei had to win with a random-mixed deck / win against 1v3 twice against Named Opponents , Atem can control whatever card he desires , both of these duelists are too OP to be compared to the rest as far as I know
@@zettgundam6317 Agree 100%. Yusei had to win with a random assortment of cards & a deck that couldn't attack his opponents' monsters while Atem had to duel with half his deck rendered unusable by the crush card. They're leagues more skilled than the rest of the cast.
@@zettgundam6317 Yusei and the Pharaoh displayed skills to overcome seemingly impossible odds multiple times. but we can't forget the pharaoh and muto yugi literally built their deck together (which means the strategies came from the both of them). This shows in the last duel, it appeared they took the cards in their shared deck with them separately. some of them even directly represent their fusion (metaphorical to Yugi and the pharaoh) like the Pharaoh took Gaia, Yugi took Curse of Dragon - Pharaoh took Dark Magician, Yugi took Buster Blader. in terms of skill, yugi gradually keeping up, until eventually even surpassed the pharaoh - their last duel can be up to debate tho. but on multiple occasions, yugi also showed the same ability to connect the dots just like the pharaoh. they both figured out something the other overlooked. this intelligence is also essential to deck and strategy building, as well as deciding moves in actual duels. If we talk about overcoming seemingly impossible odds (which I 100% agree that it should be one of the criteria), the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and even Jaden, all had displayed it on screen. for argument's sake, Yugi Muto had a clear on-screen duel where he overcame the impossible in the Dark Side of Dimension, with his infinite loop. the duel after that was almost his (at least in my opinion), but he passed out before he made the final move, almost identical to how Joey passed out before he could defeat Marik. How he defeated all the 3 divine beasts together in just 1 turn should also count, but one could argue it was because he saw it coming. You still can't deny his strategy building skill tho. and even with fate in his hands, Yugi also overcame that. Oh, and Jaden also overcame "seemingly" impossible odds sometimes. He also turned the unbreakable board against the opponent, same thing happened to all the 4 protagonists of the 3 series. I will not say who is better than who. But i believe every one the 4 of these duelists, the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and Jaden, deserves a spot in S tier Kaiba Seto is held back by his massive ego, sadly. he will never change and we love him for that. He is right where he belongs in A tier
I believe, personally, that it was his magical ability, since he is the better reincarnation of priest Seto from the past, just like how Yugi is the better reincarnation of yami. He is able to do those things because it's his connection to obelisk. But is that s tier? Yes.
@@rabihalawani7174 Atem wanted to fight Jaden personally he said "his strength is appealing to my duelist soul so i want to test it out ". He then says after he summons Slifer that "You are a duelist worthy of having God as your opponent"
3:53 Yugi defeats Diva. Atem only comes back because Zork (the spirit of the Millennium Ring) corrupts Diva. So Yugi didn’t really lose to Diva, he lost to Zork
I agree with this a lot, it would be so hard for syrus to replicate Zane but what should be noted is that Zane applauded syrus after one of his duels as an obelisk blue student
Plus Zane kind of put a mental block onto Syrus. Syrus beat Jaden if he used power bond but didn't due to Zane. Personally I feel like Syrus was the character in GX with the most character growth.
Jaden should be higher. He literally draws whatever he wants just like yumi (it's a big plot point in the manga but it's also true for the anime and it's how he draws his spells like bubble blaster). It's how he beats banner and there's an episode based around a sandwich (I know lol) and the grim reaper where his powers are a plot point in season one but gets way more powerful once he becomes the supreme king and merges with yubel. In the manga he hits top bs when facing the big bad. He outright guesses six draws In season 4 he is basically unbeatable though. Since you're going off the end of the anime he should definitely be S tier. Yubel should probably be higher too. Yubel ruled whole dimensions and wills draws as well though it's never made a plot point like jaden's.
I have to say its absolutely hilarious with how yugioh designs go. Like when the list starts to get low on the bottom, you see normal looking Tristan with all these crazy other looking designed characters LOL
That's not even talking about his hacks, like CONTROLLING THE F-ING DUEL SPIRITS AKA He can literally see when and which monsters are going to come from his deck and the one of his opponent if he wanted to. He can also, just grade his opponents by looking at then, and saw just Yugi with the 3 God cards and knew that he was highest threat to date(Which was true) he had to face.
He is the only protagonist outside of playmaker that has not blatantly cheated. Yami can stack the deck with his will. Yusei can top deck majestic dragon. Don't get me started on Yuma. Yuya can add cards frond the 'Yu' boys to his deck, mainly Phantom Knights. I don't count extra deck card creation unless it is explicitly stated that a character should not be able to do that. Also he is the biggest hero out of the bunch. He has ended planetary, universal, and reality destroying threats along with whatever kind of threat Darkness was (I think planetary). He also is the only one that has any real character development. He is best boi.
Franshesko Uruena h it's like endgame since he saved the world even when he lost (Nightshroud stole everyone) (probably not Kaiba and Yugi) but 3rd Yuma 2nd saving all 3 worlds and 1st Yuya saving 4 dimensions (debatable about 1st and 2nd)
Deathmare Judai is first. Yuya is second and Yuma is third. Yuya saved four dimensions which were actually just one that was split into four by Zarc. Judai saved 12 WHOLE dimensions from Yubel by preventing her from summoning Super Fusion God using Chain Material. Judai saved all of reality. Dimension is a plane of existence in terms of fiction, not just one earth. Yuma saved Earth, Barian World, and Astral World. That's cute. Even disregarding the previous feat, Judai defeated the Light of Destruction, a universal threat(which has been stated in the show) that has both conquered and destroyed numerous worlds and species. It is not even a contest in terms of who is the biggest hero of the bunch. I am not saying he is the best duelist of the bunch, but definitely the most developed protagonist.
Synthesis Strategies You can‘t really put anime effects like the one from Astrograph in the regular game without severely nerfing them. Honestly ZARC probably had the best deck of the entire series, beating about 6 incredibly strong duelists that brought out their aces without even getting 2 turns after the initial one.
Jaden not in S Tier is straight disrespect, people need to stop slacking on my boy. He can see spirits, he's combined with Yubel, he's got the flexible elemental heroes, he has amazing luck and he won against Darkness incarnate.
Judai from 4th season must be S tier like you said. He was a beast in terms of dueling. Add his natural ability plus the power of the supreme king and then the support of Yubel (Only villain in Ygo franchise that was never defeated).
tristan is an infinite tier cos he knows hat when lose the duel u lose ur soul, when the sun rises, his voice gives him powers, he can snap necks with his mind, he can change his skin colour through will and can say the N-word, he met spiderman, he met santa claus and even got a hug from him etc.
Glad to see Yusei as S class. He had some of the most technically intricate special summoning strategies in the whole anime imo. Like when he summoned Stardust Dragon against Team Taiyo. That shit was raw
@@Deathmare235 they needed to give him Limiter removal instead of cybernetic hidden technology... He needed to win that but Judai is main character... But I agree that Yubel is the strongest gx character.
Honestly I think Chazz should be B tier at least, maybe even A tier. He’s an incredible pilot to his decks, especially considering that most of the decks he uses have inherent disadvantages to most other decks. Here are some of his feats: - He defeated everyone in north academy with a bunch of random cards he found while swimming around in the ice (while also otk-ing 4 duelists at once) - He defeated his older brother using a deck where all the monsters had 0 attack - He defeated everyone in the society of light and won the genex tournament - He lost to Jaden in season 4 only because Dave told him not to activate Chthonian Polymer, a card that would have given him the win had he activated it - He defeated Aster Phoenix, even when Aster had access to what was stated to be the strongest D card Imo Chazz should be higher. Dude’s got an insane win loss ratio and is able to pilot his many decks incredibly well
He simply is the best charater on gx, period. He has not the best design, or the best deck, but as a character that grows and matures from start to finish he takes the spotlight, it took jaden the dead of all his friends for him to stop acting like a child, the chazz is the best man for sure
I don't see Chazz making it to A Rank, though I do agree that he should be B Rank. See, Chazz has a really inconsistent deck, which severely hampers his skills as a duelist. It would be one thing if he had broken protagonist powers, but since he doesn't, I can't really put him on par with the other A Rankers.
Personal opinion: Yugi Muto should definitely be a High S-tier as Yami has stated a few times where Yugi is the better duelist and has proven it, albeit only in the end.
If you really think that yugi is better than atem then you should really get help. Nobody in their right mind would even consider little Yugioh anything above A tier he isn’t better than kaiba not even close.
@@ExclusivePokeLife Actually he beat Kaiba fair and square with a deck of his design. He might not have mystical powers but as a duelist he is S tier. Atem has plot armor, Yugi actually beat him with logic and anticipating and countering his strategies.
He should be S tier. Didn’t he defeat an army of patrol man in the synchro single handily when they attempted to capture him. Plus he beat an impossible duel against Roget with his infinite loop, constantly defeating him over and over again.
@@Seven-dt4rihe didn’t win that duel either yugi won or they didn’t show the ending. For sure they didn’t show Jaden winning that duel in no official material
Joey Wheeler deserves to be the on the A tier. His whole story in the first yugioh series is about him being on par with Kaiba and Yugi. Also Takahashi says he’s the best duelist in that series as well.
I agree that he should be A-tier but please don't suggest he's as good as Kaiba/Yugi. Kaiba consistently kicks his ass without being pushed too far and Joey has a far inferior track record (also GTFO with your luck-based deck).
@@Bragglord Aight, but he out-dueled Marik at the end of the battle city arc. The only reason he losed to him is because he collapsed mid duel and had to forfeit . So with that being said he's had his share of bad luck as well to compensate for his share of good luck. Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling but Joey can put up somewhat of a formidable duel against them. (i.e. duelist kingdom (joey vs Yugi). Also in yugioh Gx Pegasus states that Joey Wheeler is in his top 5 duelist of all time based on pure raw talent, and he only rivals Yugi and Kaiba.
@@Diegoxo9 once again, no, he didn't 'out-duel' him because Marik was never trying to beat him in the first place in the conventional sense. He collapsed mid-duel because that was Marik's whole plan, to ruin his soul (but he underestimated Joey- he thought it would instantly drop him but Joey was even able to retain consciousness). So no, it wasn't 'bad luck'. 'Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling'. So...? They're better, end of. I'm not saying he's miles below them but he's not even on their level. 'Also in yugioh Gx Pegasus states that Joey Wheeler is in his top 5 duelist of all time based on pure raw talent, and he only rivals Yugi and Kaiba.' OK: 1. Pegasus has never even seen a lot of the other characters on this list in action (e.g. Z-ONE, Yusei, Marik). 2. Luck =/= skill. Joey's deck is largely luck-based. 3. If Pegasus said that in GX, then it's possible (and likely) that Joey got much better in later years.
@@Bragglord Ok but I'm saying Joey is in that conversation. Of course Yugi and Kaiba are the legendary premiere duelist but he's in that conversation. You could compare this Michael Jordan vs LeBron vs Kobe. Joey would be Kobe in that sense. Also yeah joey had a luck-based deck,whatever, but thing is though he makes good decision and his gambles pay off. His high risk high reward style of dueling has helped him pull off some crazy duels. And some of it is plot armor but if that is you're main concern than you have to admit that Yugi and Kaiba are culprits of that too.
He didn't say strongest, at least he didn't in the dubbed idk about subbed. He said, in the dubbed, his top 5 favorite duelists. Yes, Yugi and Seto are 2 of the strongest duelists, and Joey presumably got better after the series because he continued dueling and is considered world class in GX. But im guessing Yugi is his #1 because he's the king of games and pretty much the savior of the world at this point in time when Pegasus said this, Seto is probably his #2 because of the brutality and just overall mastery of the game, not to mention Kaiba created a Duel academy. Joey i can see him being #3 because of his duel style, using luck to his advantage to boost his skill, making him recognized as world class, even though Kaiba will never admit it he probably recognizes Joey as at least A tier as well. And Jessie he made the list because of his connection to the Crystal Beasts.
Sadly true... the rival of yugi is jaden in the manga. And yugi needed to rely on Pharao. In fact the Pharao struggled and also nearly lost. If Plot wouldn’t exist, Jaden would win
I can fix that problem he in C pretty strong by ZEXAL standards his deck revolves around XYZ so its pretty weak and his character development is garbage no lie like he put his sons in a coma then changes because Yuma grabbed his hands people can say it's more complex but nah it really ain't
I think its sort of unfair how you ranked some of the characters. I dont think win- loss ratio is really a reflection on their skill, its not how much they have won or lost, it should be how they preformed and who they lost to who matters. Because a lot of the time they played flawlessly, but they lost because the person they were playing against pulled some bullcrap or they were just better, doesn't mean they were trash. I'd say a good example of this was Chazz and Bastion, they lost to main characters and villains, but were sti regarded as very skilled and talented duelists.
Yugi in his prime should be S-tier, unless we are counting magic. He beat Yami Yugi and he beat Kaiba in DSoD before the duel was interrupted. A confident older Yugi (GX era) is unstoppable. Kaiba definitely has to be S-tier. Pegasus considers him the 2nd best duelist in the world in GX, and the only person to beat him without cheating is (Yami) Yugi. Dartz, just due to his massively overpowered deck, is also S-tier. He nearly beat Atem and Kaiba in a 1 vs 2 match!
Kaiba beat Yugi and atem dude. Heart of the cards is cheating. Ygi loses by default. Nobody ever beat kaiba. All his loses are by cheaters. Pegasus reads minds,dartz uses fake cards Pegasus never made,atem and Yugi use heart of the cards cheat and help each other strategize,Noah held mokuba hostage. Kaiba can't lose. Also Joey>marik. Shadow realm torture is cheating. You can attack someone during a duel. Isn't legal.
@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 Mate heart of the cards isn't cheatimg. It doesn't fall in the definition of the word "cheat" that's a fact, not a matter of your opinion How about you think logically for a second? Take any sport into consideration, if a person has better reaction times, eyesight, strenght or genetics, it's completly and utterly fair because it's either a skill they gained throu training or they have it genetically. Heart of cards is in no way *EVER* cheating, it's a skill that Atem as a person poseses. He doesn't pre build the decks, he doesn't top deck, he has a simple skill that break's no rules of the game Skills that break no rules have and never will be considered cheating
@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 Also, Yugi and Atem helping each other strategy is in *NO WAY SHAPE NOR FORM CHEATING* They reside in the same body you complete and utter moron. You are an actual uninteligent moron
Bastion isn’t a D, Adrian Gecko literally almost beat Yubel, he deserves B, Chazz is clearly a B, Atlas is a B (5Ds version) ArcV he’s a A or B, Jaden, Yugi and Kaiba are definitely S.
Bastion: no character development. no deck growth. Bad deck Adrian Gecko: Completely agree tbh but he's not main character so he gets swept to side of course Chazz: Deck was bad but they made it so lowkey, Character development somewhat, Notable feat was off-screen my boi Atlas: Deserves that A bro... Highest duel score, Great win percentage and he's dueled many people making the duel percentage look even greater the only quality that brings him down is character development one day he was just like i miss friends Atlas (Arc-V): Great deck, No character development, Unsure of he even likes the city I'd say B Jaden :Deserves S because swag nothing more neeeded to be said Kaiba: One track mind that's why A ( I think the "he's the original mentality is clouding everyone's judgement of the original characters like Atem i like him but i don't believe he is S")
MadStatZ if you watch yugioh 5ds, some of Atlas wins were given to him. Calling into question if his past duels were legit or not. Also he didn’t beat any notable duelist except for Carly. Bastion had character growth in season two, when Jaden dueled that scientist, he found his purpose in dueling. Kaiba deserves a S rating because of his really slow, but actual character development in yugioh, the movie and GX. If Kaiba dueled Jaden or Yusei, with his updated deck, it’s a coin flip to whoever wins.
@@Phantica Bastion no character development?! WHAT? He was done bad by the writers but he found his purpose on dueling and he kicked Manjome's ass and would've done it twice had he not surrendered just cuz he wanted to be acknowledged. I don't get how Kaiba deserves an S when he lost against all the main antagonists but Chazz doesn't deserve at least A cuz he didn't get many on screens W
matteo g Jack (5ds version) is not better than Yubel, Yuma, Jesse, Zane and Shark. So Jack (5ds) is a B. Jack wasn’t feared by other duelist, and was treated as a joke. So he’s definitely a B.
I think you needed an SS tier for the OP characters, this way yugi/kaiba can be s tier instead of being in the same tier as for example shay. Aster also deserves to be in a different tier than joey
I feel that Jaden could definitely be considered an S tier duelist. Zarc should have been higher too imo, as he beat several of the people who were in the A tier.
It's Creature Yami wasn’t playing through that guy (his name was Dimitri). Which is why Dimitri lost, as he was just copying Yugi. So he couldn’t use Yugi’s deck with the same ability that Yugi/Yami could.
Pikachu Ik the dude did act like the people who’s decks he was using but I thought he wasn’t actually copying him but yami was playing threw him in that episode although I could have misinterpreted that part
What character development has Yusei ever gotten? Let's not get delusional, o get liking Yusei as a character. But he is the *MOST UNDEVELOPED* main characfer in Yugioh, he get's no development and is a below average character
I feel like this list should have been based on the characters at the end of the series, and while duel records should be looked at, I don’t think they’re that important. You emphasized losses a bit much.
I know this is an old video, but if you ever do it again, there are some things to consider. One thing to think of is where the characters end, not necessarily how well they did early on. Chazz starts as a C tiered character, but by the end of the series he was in the same league as Aster, even beating him once. Then there is Syrus who was in the same league as his brother by the end of the series, even though he was pretty weak during the beginning and middle. If you are going strictly by skill, Zarc is probably only D-status since he was easily outplayed by almost every character he dualed against. What saved him was his near unstoppable deck. However, if you are including his deck, He's S-rank due to the anime boosting his card effects to godly levels, and him defeating a dozen dualists in a row. Same with Dartz considering he took both Yugi and Kaiba on at the same time. Mai should be up a tier. She was going to beat Marik but Marik virtually cheated to win; and while Marik didn't win a single dual without cheating that I can think of, he did push Yugi to his utmost max despite Yugi being given a card to directly counter Marik's strategy. Therefore Mai is easily B-Tier Yubel should also be higher, considering she beat Zane, and the only reason Jaden beat her was because he used Super-poly, which is a broken card. Same with Rafael, considering he did beat yugi in a fair dual, and Yugi needed two legendary dragons to beat him in a rematch. Otherwise I'd say the placements are pretty well done.
But then the professor should also be A tier he took yuya and akaba on at the same time. Declan should be S tier he out dueled everybody it is that yuya beated him because of the fk irritating action cards
@@ramonvanesveld2558 To be fair, he put Declan at really high A tier, only behind Kaiba the Yugis, and Yusei, making Declan the 5th top duelist on the list. That's pretty high. I wouldn't quiet put him in the same class as Yugi or Yusei, those two are just OP and have unique abilities to draw cards they need when loosing. You are right about Declan's father though. Declan's father was a brutal dualist who was probably as good if not possibly better than Declan. It's hard to say how good he was with just a single dual as luck/plot armor may have helped in that one dual, but considering he probably taught many of the best dualist in the fusion realm, he's up their in ranks.
@@crazymallets ohh didn't know that in the ranks it goes by order but still kaiba and Declan should be 2 steps higher in the A tier above yuya and the other guy because yuya would have lost his last duel if action cards didn't exist. But still Dartz, yubel and Diva should also be A tier.
@@ramonvanesveld2558 I don’t know if you noticed it, but he reorganizes the specific tiers at the end and Kaiba and Declan are below Yugi so top 5. I’m assuming you just didn’t notice or stay long enough to see
B is perfect for Joey, he can’t compete with any character is A tier and would get destroyed by some of the other B tier characters. He relies way too much on luck. Soulburner, Shark, Crow, Zane, Aster, Jesse, Yuma, Zarc, Ai, Yubel, Bohman, and Z-one would all destroy Joey.
marlon green Jesse’s deck was able to hold its own against Zane without rainbow dragon. He would have also been able to beat Jaden in their first duel if rainbow dragon existed. I don’t see Joey accomplishing similar feats. However I could see Joey beating Aster.
idk about the anime but in the manga kaiba acknowledges Atem as basically his only "equal" wich is the closest he will ever get to admitting Atem's better
In the anime, Kaiba acknowledges Yugi as being as strong as if not stronger than himself, as he was present during the Ceremonial Battle, instead of just appearing afterwards to stare at them over a sand dune after the battle was finished.
Kaiba has actually admitted that not only atem but also yugi are better than him . their they only 2 duelist that he acknowledged specially atem his obsessed with him lol
@@lexbryant4564 Kaiba's declaration actually confuses a lot of people. Because, it differs between the manga and the anime. In the anime, he aknowledges little yugi as worthy of being king of games, but in the manga he doesn't, and in fact he leaves before the end of the final duel. In fact, Kaiba's obsession with bringing back the pharaoh in the movie is because the movie actually follows the manga storyline, not the anime. He was so obsessed because he thought he didn't have anyone as a rival, and he wanted to bring back Atem at all costs. If he had aknowledged yugi, the movie wouldn't make sense, because his actual rival from that point on would have been little yugi instead of Atem if it followed the anime.
Oh yes very interesting with the multiple screw the rules I can pull whatever I want draws and a bunch of people without any mouth arguing with eachother and don thousand saying screw the rules u play what I say u play
@@shadowrealm3245 This is all ultimately opinion, but just so you understand where my take is coming from, here's how I look at this. You're welcome to like whoever you like, I personally think all of the leads in 5D's were awesome and a much stronger cast than Duel Monsters and GX combined. Plants are a far better synchro engine than Resonators; especially at the time the series was airing. Cards like Black Garden, Dandylion (which is now banned by the way), Glow Up Bulb, Red Rose Dragon, and White Rose Dragon keep the deck moving fast. Pheonixian Cluster Amaryllis is the best card for burn damage in the entire TCG, so much so that it had to be banned due to loop abuse. In a deck that can steadily supply plants to the graveyard, Black Rose Dragon is a much better ace than Red Dragon Archfiend. There are also a lot of great plant synchro monsters Aki didn't use in the show like Moonlight Rose or Garden Rose Maiden (the latter coming later on). It wasn't really until Arc V provided Scarlight RDA and additional Resonator engine that Resonators could do much more than bring out Red Nova. Red Nova (and the newly released Red Supernova) are great cards but it's 90% due to the same protection effects that every upgraded or accel synchro monster got in 5D's. Beyond those, it is just a huge beatstick. If we ever got a Blazing Rose Dragon upgrade that followed the Black Rose theme with something like a field nuke that couldn't be negated or didn't destroy itself, it would have been way more generally useful. Aki also always played her deck to its full potential and only ever really lost when the plot demanded it. She only ever lost to Yusei because winning either duel would have messed with 5D's initial story arc. The only reason she "lost" against Team Unicorn was because Jack screwed that duel up so badly, and frankly she did an amazing job setting Yusei up for the 3v1 comeback victory. She was a big reason why Team 5D's didn't lose then and there. The rest of her non-wins were DNF's that were again plot driven, like the Arcadia building collapsing. One of the most notable duels in the series where Aki was not obligated to play slowly or lose in was her tag duel in Ark Cradle with Crow, where she carried him while he was playing a better archetype than her. Even when the duels were slow like with Misty, Aki never struggled against any opponent not named Yusei and even then both of her duels with Yusei were extremely close. She proved to be arguably just as skilled a strategist as Yusei on several occasions, the show was just a bit more subtle about her abilities and did not make as big a deal about them or put her in the limelight nearly as often as Yusei. Meanwhile Jack had some very flashy, fun, and engaging duels, but most of his strategy amounts to summoning tons of big beatsticks to win with powah. Jack is actually exactly the type of duelist Aki excelled at stomping most; often toying with them by utilizing negates and burn damage until they make the mistake of using up all of their deck's resources to bring out a huge monster. That is generally the point she would synchro into Black Rose, field nuke, and use some combination of card effects to revive BRD for the kill. I loved all of the duelists in 5D's: Jack, Yusei, Aki, and Crow all included. Any one of these characters could go head to head with the strongest duelists in previous seasons and win relatively easily.
Yugi defeated Yami Yugi, Bakura, and held his own against Kaiba and Diva. On top of that Yami says before their final duel, that Yugi has the same skills as himself, he just lacked confidence.
I think this guy explains it perfectly, Yugi was the only one who could beat Atem because of his knowledge of him, but Yami was the better duelist between the two of them against any other opponent.
@@RMor66 Other than Gold Sarcophagus Anime Effect, Yugi beat Atem who literally has the most powerful luck boost possible. But DSoD Yugi is way stronger than both Atem and his past self, able to pretty much defeat both DSoD Kaiba (who beats Atem btw,) and Regular Diva. And DSoD Kaiba DID lose, his facedown card was Polymerization as he had it in hand and never played it until his last turn.
In my opinion, you cannot place Atem in S tier without including Yugi. They couldn’t have done it without each other. Atem was using Yugi’s knowledge of Duel Monsters to duel. Yugi dueled Kaiba down to 100 LP in DSOD, before the duel was interrupted and never concluded due to Diva. The lack of conclusion, to me, implies that Yugi is strong enough to hold his own even after time has elapsed. He also beat Atem in the ceremonial duel. That was no fluke.
@@koraydemirci9729 It's not, He has a great deck, has great strategy and is great at critical thinking. I doubt that anyone in S tier can beat him. Soe he is *100%* S tier
@@Missing-Ace I honestly recommend watching Zexal subbed. Sure it starts off slow, but as soon as Kaito arrives the plot picks up and Zexal II, in my opinion, has some of the strongest and most coherent storytelling in the Yugioh franchise. Zexal dub sucks though.
Pretty sure yusaku hasn't lost a duel. The flashbacks are yusaku playing a simulation so it doesn't count as a loss. Needs an S Yuma should be an A if judai is also if astral is in A tier Yuma should be there.
@@TGSAnime playmaker is broken, he never lost in like 40 duels and has like 3 draws against bohman and revolver, also getting a random link monster that always wins you the game, you must admit, is broken
@Luke Ed Kaiba was passed down in history as the No.2 after Atem, the only reason he has so many defeats is so that Atem could shine out more and get the victory all the time. After Kaiba this changed and rivals were given a bit more respect
@Luke Ed I wouldn't say "overestimate", even though I do think he'd be able to reach that S-tier. But either way thats just my opinion, who knows maybe if Diva hadn't interrupted Kaiba's and Yugi's duel in Dark side of dimensions we could've seen more of what he can do (saying this because his LP suddenly stopped at 100 instead of going to 0, and im pretty sure he had one more facedown on the field). Im not mad or anything he didn't out him as S, everyone has their opinions
Speaking of female protagonist Alexis Rhodes AKA Asuka Tenjoin from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX We didn’t see to much of her and Idk how she would hold up but she does have an incredible Win/Lost record.
@@damiannova5207 also against those bad guys in GX S1 and Jaden was the last member with a special item. AND against those guys at season 4??? Only in English sub.
Jaden hasn't done anything too broken? Man's can literally read your mind, know your entire deck and know which order of cards his deck is in (telepathy, communication with card spirits, future vision) and has destiny draw yet still chooses not to use his powers unlike a certain nameless pharaoh who likes to cheat and draw any card he wants cause he can. The reason why they banned pot of greed was single handedly the fault of Atem. If it came down to a brawl Jaden could enslave your entire deck + exodia and kill your ancestors let alone you.
I fell like Yuma should be “A”at least and probably an “S” because most of his wins in the second part of zexal were done basically done by himself sense astral basically stoped helping him outside of them fusing plus he has the shinning draw which is basically heart of the cards but better sense he can not only draw whatever card he wants in his deck he can also make what ever card he wants
Digi Lord I was really surprised he put Yuma that low too. If he were going by how the duelist grows and develops throughout the series, like he said he was going to, Yuma should be at least A Class
Kinda wished that jaden was s tier since elemental hero’s are really flexible and could take on nearly anyone though only a portion was shown in anime since the e-hero archetype was extended even more after gx ended.
Zeronality I’m trying to say that although he is skillful his e-hero support/extended archetype cards he could’ve had would’ve help him a little more but A tier still pretty high.
Consider what the intros teach you about life zexal is about how believing and friendship go along way and 5d's main topic is Destiny plus teamwork. My opinion thou don't come @ me alright
As much as I'd like to disagree and say Joey is also one of them, I really can't. Even though he doesn't have any special powers, a lot of his deck is luck-based. Crow on the other hand (as far as I know) is also the best when it comes to actual skill. Haven't watched 5D's all the way through, but the fact that he stood up to a God card with only 50 LP is impressive.
Kaiba not being in S when the few times he lost he was being cheated out of a win and zarc, the guy who bodied most of the people in A tier and didn't even lose because he got unfused being in B is a sin
I’d say Declan is actually the best in terms of skill without cheating. Declan to me is Kaiba if kaiba could synchro Xyz or pendulum summon. He literally developed his skills to master all the different summoning methods then made a school to specialize in different summoning methods to defend his dimension from future attack
The Professor should've been at least B. He was actually really good against Reiji and Yuya until... well... Gatling Ghoul. But 2 on 1 against a reincarnation of Zarc and REIJI AKABA is a really difficult matchup.
Ok mate,some constructive critisism. Rafael as B is a bit ridiculous. The guy was capturing souls left right and center,beat Yami fair and square using card exchange. Yami was forced to play Seal,or else his monsters wouldnt have powered up and if I remember correctly he was holding 1-2 cards incl orichalcos,tough luck beating Rafaels guardian grarl without playing the card. It was an awesome strategy to take down the king of games and it happened as planned. After that,Rafael took down Mai,and in the second duel against Yami,lost purposely by using the effects of soul charge (because he understood that he wasnt fighting on the right side). Should be a very strong A or even S. He had heart. Second up,Aster at B is not very logical aswell,he was a champ,beat Zane,beat Jaden and multiple times in the 2nd season was identified as the best duelist,hardy tier B category,right?
TGS doesn't mention the duel with Yugi which he almost won I'm talking about Jaden btw Yuya is more like a real Yu-Gi-Oh player improving his deck everytime he lost and takes that as sort of "experience"
@@riskyworks Unfortunately no. He lost against Reiji in their second duel, against Sergey and Jack in the fortune cup exhibition match. Yuya did improve and beat Reiji later on and also beat Jack Atlas twice.
@@LS-qs9ju Zarc lost twice, his loses were only against Ray. He lose with the very same cards, seems to implied that Zarc only has 1 weakness and if you don’t have those 4 special cards you’re aren’t going to win, pretty OP if you ask me. Also it looks like it depends of the duelist as the Professor tried to use it and Zarc and counter it while he couldn’t against Ray (again lol). Zarc is almost impossible to defeat and he defeated 11 duelist in a row, that makes him one of the best if not the strongest character in all Yugioh.
The problem with the list is that you often would mix "being a good duelist" and "having a good deck". I think you should probably only focus on being a good duelist aka being able to use their decks to their fullest potential, disregarding the power of the decks themselves. So examples: Kaiba had the strongest deck in his series with the most amount of overpowered cards, but he still failed to beat yami (whose deck was much worse). So i wouldnt consider kaiba a high tier duelist. Chazz on the other hand had a terrible deck but he still managed to pull wins by exploiting his options to their max. So Chazz would be a higher tier duelist that kaiba. Akaba renji was a character that had both: a very strong deck and he could clearly use his deck to its full potential. A S tier character in my opinion, next to yami and yusei
The thing is you can't really say Yami is insanely good when he literally wills cards into existence with his millenium puzzle and still lost a couple times. So by your logic if u have the power to will cards into existence and still lose then you should be pretty low. That also puts people like dartz very low since he had the most OP cards anyone had ever seen and still lost. I personally think the tier list should've been a mixture of both.
i know this is old but to be fair Kaiba had strong cards but he always had to go against millenium item users and Atem's heart of the cards ability with the puzzle ability to draw the card he needed
@@erenyeager7967 When his organization steals 3 God cards. Of course, I think he should have a higher rank like A, not S. His deck isn't too strong to compare to new summon (synchro monsters, XYZ, ...) while Atem is stronger than in the past and Atem's deck (in the new movie) still be too dangerous for other duelists. I remembered Atem lose 1 time when he tries to use dark spell cards Orichalcos.
I agree with everything except Zark personally. He should definitely be High A tier or low S-tier. Nobody could take down his (bullshit) deck. It took some random ass SUPER situational cards to beat him.

Yami Yugi lost against Joey in an off screen duel
Yami/Yugi lost in the second episope to a video.
Kaiba is S tier Mate, only 3rd rate duelists with 4th rate decks would say otherwise
I agree!
Kaiba has a 107th rate deck.
Anand Shirendev because kaiba‘s deck is to slow. He just normal summon, set a trap and pass. Everyone could counter that
@Nyndeed I mean you can't really say it's slow when all decks sorta followed that same formula back then, if they are all slow then wouldn't they all be balanced? I don't remember that many decks pre gx that would let you special summon like 2 to 3 monsters in 1 turn. That being said I would agree that while the strategy is basic you can't really fault the deck because the game was more primitive back when it started compared to present. Before you would build a deck with a balanced amount of spells traps and monsters, nowadays you could get away with playing very little back row if your monsters have the right synergy and appropriate effects to negate your opponent.
Sanlaitto Yero Ouberdoraivu My point is that a lot of the duelist in vrains or arcv could otk kaiba or yugi. Yugi and kaiba are just that high cause of nostalgia
Tristan is S tier because he knows when the sun will rise
Also because his voice gives him super strength
Also, don't forget he's always The Blind and he can snap necks with his mind
Tristan survived a run with a scissor, i'ts definitely S tier
He also met Spiderman.

He launched cards to space so they can learn how to duel.
actually he built a machine to heaven
But Jack tho... my guy has the highest duel score and great win ratio and he dueled more people than usual characters
He literally tributes himself to summon Atem
Respect+
You can be a good scientist without being a good duelist. Kaiba's deck was actually crap, and he would get beaten by anyone for any later shows, like Zane, Yusei, Jack etc. Heck, even yuma could probably beat him. You gotta take your nostalgia goggles off man.
Says he's judging the characters in their prime
Also counts every loss...
Yeah that got me too. I was very confused and conflicted a lot
Exactly. Then why not count all the losses from playmaker during the Lost Incident. This is basically a zero logic biased tier.
yeah, *THE CHAZZ* would most definitely be high A if we judged him based on his greatest accomplishments. If you look at his record, he managed to beat nearly the *entirety of the student body of duel academy* at least TWICE (also winning the GX tournament in the process), making him have the most wins of ANY CHARACTER IN ANY OF THE SERIES. His biggest failiures come from his losses against adrian Gekko and Sartorius.

Benjamin Ruiz That’s his skill lol. Not a flex if it’s what you do on the regular
Seto Kaiba is most definitely an S class duelist. There is a reason why he is Yami Yugi's rival. It wasn't a walk in the park for the pharaoh to win against Seto. Every duel really went down to the last wire especially in the arena at Battle City. Even in their first duel, it took Exodia to win. He even beat Ishizu Ishtar and she was using magic. Kaiba also has the will to draw whatever card he needs and this has been stated in the series multiple times. Kaiba is an S class duelist.
Exactly😂
Kaiba's biggest problem is that he always loses to a big villain. He even lost to Noah, the antagonist of his family's arc, leaving Yugi to clean up the pieces again.
Music and Movies also Ishizu magic started to fail vs Kaiba
To be fair yugi litterally has kaiba beat every single time they dueled (the second time against kaiba counts since he has him beat but yugi didn’t wanna accidentally kill him)

Kaiba ist better than Jaden
I dont think so but i dont think seto is better then him either
@@spoopybeta they arent good enough in my opion yugi would probably beat jaiden and yugi will obviously win against seto.
Did he just put Dartz in B class?! He literally nearly defeated BOTH YAMI YUGI AND KAIBA in a single duel. He is at least a strong A-tier duelist.

He had bullshit cards lol
Lol, 3 orichalcos field spells, infinite attack divine serpent, 20000 atk shunorous, it’s arms that are always 300 points stronger then any atk or def of a monster, mirror knight calling, kuytora that absorbs all damage like wtf, who made these cards? Lol
@@33dbz atlantis of course.
@@33dbz Watch your tongue or you will be food to the Great Leviathan
I say kite is a S tier simply for his impressive win ratio and the fact he never lose to yuma and astral
to be fair he would never lost if vetrix dueled fair
@@jirachijannikexactly I can't stand the fact he put him in A
I honestly think Judai should be S tier when taking into account feats he displayed in anime.
He defeated Deck out Duelist by a Deck Out in Season 2 by turning his strategy against him. In Season 3 he demolished Reficule Burn combo. In Season 4 he defeated Horus Degree Lockdown Deck with Neos even if he was sealed from using Spell and Traps. Against Saiou/Sartorious in Season 4 despite being sealed away from summoning a monster and getting his deck send to graveyard through Arcana Force Monsters, he still managed to turn it around and win the duel.
Yugi should also be S tier ad he defeated 3 Gods and Yami Bakura's Destiny Board. I really think their accimplishments are worthy as Atem or Yusei's, if not even more so.
Yusei had to win with a random-mixed deck / win against 1v3 twice against Named Opponents , Atem can control whatever card he desires , both of these duelists are too OP to be compared to the rest as far as I know
@@zettgundam6317 Agree 100%. Yusei had to win with a random assortment of cards & a deck that couldn't attack his opponents' monsters while Atem had to duel with half his deck rendered unusable by the crush card. They're leagues more skilled than the rest of the cast.
Jaden wouldn't stand a chance against Yugi or Yusei
@@zettgundam6317 Yusei and the Pharaoh displayed skills to overcome seemingly impossible odds multiple times. but we can't forget the pharaoh and muto yugi literally built their deck together (which means the strategies came from the both of them). This shows in the last duel, it appeared they took the cards in their shared deck with them separately. some of them even directly represent their fusion (metaphorical to Yugi and the pharaoh) like the Pharaoh took Gaia, Yugi took Curse of Dragon - Pharaoh took Dark Magician, Yugi took Buster Blader. in terms of skill, yugi gradually keeping up, until eventually even surpassed the pharaoh - their last duel can be up to debate tho. but on multiple occasions, yugi also showed the same ability to connect the dots just like the pharaoh. they both figured out something the other overlooked. this intelligence is also essential to deck and strategy building, as well as deciding moves in actual duels.
If we talk about overcoming seemingly impossible odds (which I 100% agree that it should be one of the criteria), the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and even Jaden, all had displayed it on screen. for argument's sake, Yugi Muto had a clear on-screen duel where he overcame the impossible in the Dark Side of Dimension, with his infinite loop. the duel after that was almost his (at least in my opinion), but he passed out before he made the final move, almost identical to how Joey passed out before he could defeat Marik. How he defeated all the 3 divine beasts together in just 1 turn should also count, but one could argue it was because he saw it coming. You still can't deny his strategy building skill tho. and even with fate in his hands, Yugi also overcame that.
Oh, and Jaden also overcame "seemingly" impossible odds sometimes. He also turned the unbreakable board against the opponent, same thing happened to all the 4 protagonists of the 3 series.
I will not say who is better than who. But i believe every one the 4 of these duelists, the Pharaoh, Muto Yugi, Yusei and Jaden, deserves a spot in S tier
Kaiba Seto is held back by his massive ego, sadly. he will never change and we love him for that. He is right where he belongs in A tier
@@bluebearie7230 now this, this is beautiful
Kaiba willed Obelisk into existence despite the gods literally not existing anymore. S tier my boi Kaiba dammit.
Dmitri Eriksson He also denied death by just sheer willpower, so that’s a thing
I believe, personally, that it was his magical ability, since he is the better reincarnation of priest Seto from the past, just like how Yugi is the better reincarnation of yami. He is able to do those things because it's his connection to obelisk. But is that s tier? Yes.
keith pate *Atem
Dmitri Eriksson lol you god damn right
he didnt willed it. It was coded in the last fckign second as it's kaibas network and his cards were all digital. So yea kaiba pro coder
Jaden is S tier man season 4 Jaden was on par with Yugi so much that Yami felt his dueling strength was so strong he felt he needed slifer against him
I mean Yugi used Slifer against Bakura so
He uses Egyptian gods every time he duels lmao
@@rabihalawani7174 Atem wanted to fight Jaden personally he said "his strength is appealing to my duelist soul so i want to test it out ".
He then says after he summons Slifer that "You are a duelist worthy of having God as your opponent"
Goku Black That doesn’t make him on par lmao. He’s definitely not as good. However, he is good enough for S tier imo
@@UmmItsMJ shut up he could beat yugi I don't know what you talking about
3:53 Yugi defeats Diva. Atem only comes back because Zork (the spirit of the Millennium Ring) corrupts Diva. So Yugi didn’t really lose to Diva, he lost to Zork
🖐️
The thing with Syrus is he wasn't necessarily a rubbish Duelist. He just had TERRIBLE self-esteem due to being Zane's younger brother.
Always living in the shadow of someone everyone respected
Exactly!😂
I agree with this a lot, it would be so hard for syrus to replicate Zane but what should be noted is that Zane applauded syrus after one of his duels as an obelisk blue student
Plus Zane kind of put a mental block onto Syrus. Syrus beat Jaden if he used power bond but didn't due to Zane. Personally I feel like Syrus was the character in GX with the most character growth.
Zane should be an S
Jaden should be higher. He literally draws whatever he wants just like yumi (it's a big plot point in the manga but it's also true for the anime and it's how he draws his spells like bubble blaster). It's how he beats banner and there's an episode based around a sandwich (I know lol) and the grim reaper where his powers are a plot point in season one but gets way more powerful once he becomes the supreme king and merges with yubel. In the manga he hits top bs when facing the big bad. He outright guesses six draws
In season 4 he is basically unbeatable though. Since you're going off the end of the anime he should definitely be S tier. Yubel should probably be higher too. Yubel ruled whole dimensions and wills draws as well though it's never made a plot point like jaden's.
I have to say its absolutely hilarious with how yugioh designs go. Like when the list starts to get low on the bottom, you see normal looking Tristan with all these crazy other looking designed characters LOL
Jaden should have been in S tier. And about his draw as Supreme King, if it hadn't been a screw the rules moment, he would've beaten Axel.
Yami screws the rules way more along with several other duelist
That's not even talking about his hacks, like CONTROLLING THE F-ING DUEL SPIRITS AKA He can literally see when and which monsters are going to come from his deck and the one of his opponent if he wanted to. He can also, just grade his opponents by looking at then, and saw just Yugi with the 3 God cards and knew that he was highest threat to date(Which was true) he had to face.
He is the only protagonist outside of playmaker that has not blatantly cheated.
Yami can stack the deck with his will.
Yusei can top deck majestic dragon.
Don't get me started on Yuma.
Yuya can add cards frond the 'Yu' boys to his deck, mainly Phantom Knights.
I don't count extra deck card creation unless it is explicitly stated that a character should not be able to do that.
Also he is the biggest hero out of the bunch. He has ended planetary, universal, and reality destroying threats along with whatever kind of threat Darkness was (I think planetary).
He also is the only one that has any real character development. He is best boi.
Franshesko Uruena h it's like endgame since he saved the world even when he lost (Nightshroud stole everyone) (probably not Kaiba and Yugi) but 3rd Yuma 2nd saving all 3 worlds and 1st Yuya saving 4 dimensions (debatable about 1st and 2nd)
Deathmare Judai is first. Yuya is second and Yuma is third.
Yuya saved four dimensions which were actually just one that was split into four by Zarc. Judai saved 12 WHOLE dimensions from Yubel by preventing her from summoning Super Fusion God using Chain Material. Judai saved all of reality.
Dimension is a plane of existence in terms of fiction, not just one earth.
Yuma saved Earth, Barian World, and Astral World. That's cute. Even disregarding the previous feat, Judai defeated the Light of Destruction, a universal threat(which has been stated in the show) that has both conquered and destroyed numerous worlds and species.
It is not even a contest in terms of who is the biggest hero of the bunch. I am not saying he is the best duelist of the bunch, but definitely the most developed protagonist.
Zarc defeated everyone in one duel, and he's B tier ? hahahaha
that bugged me really bad he put zarcs counter parts above him and like 3 people he defeated with ease above him
Yeah and zarc had all his cards nerfed and some banned after transitioning to the tcg AND servant is still abused today
Synthesis Strategies You can‘t really put anime effects like the one from Astrograph in the regular game without severely nerfing them. Honestly ZARC probably had the best deck of the entire series, beating about 6 incredibly strong duelists that brought out their aces without even getting 2 turns after the initial one.
@@chromegnj478 I know that I'm just saying even in the tcg with their nerfed effects they've managed to stay abusable with how good they are
That‘s true, but it basically only sees as much play as it does because it‘s generic for pendulum decks
Jaden not in S Tier is straight disrespect, people need to stop slacking on my boy. He can see spirits, he's combined with Yubel, he's got the flexible elemental heroes, he has amazing luck and he won against Darkness incarnate.
Judai from 4th season must be S tier like you said. He was a beast in terms of dueling. Add his natural ability plus the power of the supreme king and then the support of Yubel (Only villain in Ygo franchise that was never defeated).
tristan is an infinite tier cos he knows hat when lose the duel u lose ur soul, when the sun rises, his voice gives him powers, he can snap necks with his mind, he can change his skin colour through will and can say the N-word, he met spiderman, he met santa claus and even got a hug from him etc.

Honestly I think Chazz should be B tier at least, maybe even A tier. He’s an incredible pilot to his decks, especially considering that most of the decks he uses have inherent disadvantages to most other decks. Here are some of his feats:
- He defeated everyone in north academy with a bunch of random cards he found while swimming around in the ice (while also otk-ing 4 duelists at once)
- He defeated his older brother using a deck where all the monsters had 0 attack
- He defeated everyone in the society of light and won the genex tournament
- He lost to Jaden in season 4 only because Dave told him not to activate Chthonian Polymer, a card that would have given him the win had he activated it
- He defeated Aster Phoenix, even when Aster had access to what was stated to be the strongest D card
Imo Chazz should be higher. Dude’s got an insane win loss ratio and is able to pilot his many decks incredibly well
He simply is the best charater on gx, period. He has not the best design, or the best deck, but as a character that grows and matures from start to finish he takes the spotlight, it took jaden the dead of all his friends for him to stop acting like a child, the chazz is the best man for sure
Marco Polo G. Chaz’s design is good wtf
@@greenlight8819 no, he ugly AF
@@ImPolonn why are you dissing his character design lmao
I don't see Chazz making it to A Rank, though I do agree that he should be B Rank. See, Chazz has a really inconsistent deck, which severely hampers his skills as a duelist. It would be one thing if he had broken protagonist powers, but since he doesn't, I can't really put him on par with the other A Rankers.
Personal opinion: Yugi Muto should definitely be a High S-tier as Yami has stated a few times where Yugi is the better duelist and has proven it, albeit only in the end.
keith pate and he based his opinion on the latest version of Yugi too...definitely S tier. Yugi still has the king of games title
Atem clearly threw the game. Dark Side of Dimensions is a clear indication of who’s superior. Yugi is good, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Atem.
If you really think that yugi is better than atem then you should really get help. Nobody in their right mind would even consider little Yugioh anything above A tier he isn’t better than kaiba not even close.
keith pate Atem gave him everything
@@ExclusivePokeLife Actually he beat Kaiba fair and square with a deck of his design. He might not have mystical powers but as a duelist he is S tier. Atem has plot armor, Yugi actually beat him with logic and anticipating and countering his strategies.
Reiji Akaba for me, he mastered every summon type and was made to look incredibly strong in the series.
He should be S tier. Didn’t he defeat an army of patrol man in the synchro single handily when they attempted to capture him. Plus he beat an impossible duel against Roget with his infinite loop, constantly defeating him over and over again.
Jaden deserves S Tier easily

Joey Wheeler deserves to be the on the A tier. His whole story in the first yugioh series is about him being on par with Kaiba and Yugi. Also Takahashi says he’s the best duelist in that series as well.
I also recall Atem saying Joey is the real King of Games in the unseen duel they had before Atem left to the afterlife.
I agree that he should be A-tier but please don't suggest he's as good as Kaiba/Yugi. Kaiba consistently kicks his ass without being pushed too far and Joey has a far inferior track record (also GTFO with your luck-based deck).
@@Bragglord Aight, but he out-dueled Marik at the end of the battle city arc. The only reason he losed to him is because he collapsed mid duel and had to forfeit . So with that being said he's had his share of bad luck as well to compensate for his share of good luck.
Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling but Joey can put up somewhat of a formidable duel against them. (i.e. duelist kingdom (joey vs Yugi). Also in yugioh Gx Pegasus states that Joey Wheeler is in his top 5 duelist of all time based on pure raw talent, and he only rivals Yugi and Kaiba.
@@Diegoxo9 once again, no, he didn't 'out-duel' him because Marik was never trying to beat him in the first place in the conventional sense. He collapsed mid-duel because that was Marik's whole plan, to ruin his soul (but he underestimated Joey- he thought it would instantly drop him but Joey was even able to retain consciousness). So no, it wasn't 'bad luck'.
'Furthermore, Yugi and Kaiba have ties to ancient egypt so of course they're in a different stratosphere when it comes to dueling'. So...? They're better, end of. I'm not saying he's miles below them but he's not even on their level.
'Also in yugioh Gx Pegasus states that Joey Wheeler is in his top 5 duelist of all time based on pure raw talent, and he only rivals Yugi and Kaiba.'
OK:
1. Pegasus has never even seen a lot of the other characters on this list in action (e.g. Z-ONE, Yusei, Marik).
2. Luck =/= skill. Joey's deck is largely luck-based.
3. If Pegasus said that in GX, then it's possible (and likely) that Joey got much better in later years.
@@Bragglord Ok but I'm saying Joey is in that conversation. Of course Yugi and Kaiba are the legendary premiere duelist but he's in that conversation. You could compare this Michael Jordan vs LeBron vs Kobe. Joey would be Kobe in that sense. Also yeah joey had a luck-based deck,whatever, but thing is though he makes good decision and his gambles pay off. His high risk high reward style of dueling has helped him pull off some crazy duels. And some of it is plot armor but if that is you're main concern than you have to admit that Yugi and Kaiba are culprits of that too.
Pegasus once said the strongest 5 duelists he ever met were Yugi, Kaiba, Jaden, Asta and Joey, don't sleep on the boys!
It was Yugi, Kaiba, Joey, Aster then Jesse Anderson
He didn't say strongest, at least he didn't in the dubbed idk about subbed. He said, in the dubbed, his top 5 favorite duelists. Yes, Yugi and Seto are 2 of the strongest duelists, and Joey presumably got better after the series because he continued dueling and is considered world class in GX. But im guessing Yugi is his #1 because he's the king of games and pretty much the savior of the world at this point in time when Pegasus said this, Seto is probably his #2 because of the brutality and just overall mastery of the game, not to mention Kaiba created a Duel academy. Joey i can see him being #3 because of his duel style, using luck to his advantage to boost his skill, making him recognized as world class, even though Kaiba will never admit it he probably recognizes Joey as at least A tier as well. And Jessie he made the list because of his connection to the Crystal Beasts.
My Tierlist:
S2- Atem
S- Seto Kaiba, Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Aster Phoenix, Yusei Fudo, Yubel,
A- Zane Truesdale, Jack Atlas, Yuya Sakaki & His D.D Doppelgangers, Maximilian Pegasus, Declan Akaba

@@jotarokujo2251 just cause hes the original protagonist doesnt mean hes the strongest
I think its sort of unfair how you ranked some of the characters. I dont think win- loss ratio is really a reflection on their skill, its not how much they have won or lost, it should be how they preformed and who they lost to who matters. Because a lot of the time they played flawlessly, but they lost because the person they were playing against pulled some bullcrap or they were just better, doesn't mean they were trash. I'd say a good example of this was Chazz and Bastion, they lost to main characters and villains, but were sti regarded as very skilled and talented duelists.
Yugi in his prime should be S-tier, unless we are counting magic. He beat Yami Yugi and he beat Kaiba in DSoD before the duel was interrupted. A confident older Yugi (GX era) is unstoppable. Kaiba definitely has to be S-tier. Pegasus considers him the 2nd best duelist in the world in GX, and the only person to beat him without cheating is (Yami) Yugi. Dartz, just due to his massively overpowered deck, is also S-tier. He nearly beat Atem and Kaiba in a 1 vs 2 match!
Even when Atem used his magic bs Yugi was still able to best him. Definitely S tier.
There no proof he beat Kaiba in dsod he had 100 lp left and it was about to be kaibas move
Kaiba beat Yugi and atem dude. Heart of the cards is cheating. Ygi loses by default. Nobody ever beat kaiba. All his loses are by cheaters. Pegasus reads minds,dartz uses fake cards Pegasus never made,atem and Yugi use heart of the cards cheat and help each other strategize,Noah held mokuba hostage. Kaiba can't lose. Also Joey>marik.

Bastion isn’t a D, Adrian Gecko literally almost beat Yubel, he deserves B, Chazz is clearly a B, Atlas is a B (5Ds version) ArcV he’s a A or B, Jaden, Yugi and Kaiba are definitely S.
Bastion: no character development. no deck growth. Bad deck
Adrian Gecko: Completely agree tbh but he's not main character so he gets swept to side of course
Chazz: Deck was bad but they made it so lowkey, Character development somewhat, Notable feat was off-screen my boi
Atlas: Deserves that A bro... Highest duel score, Great win percentage and he's dueled many people making the duel percentage look even greater the only quality that brings him down is character development one day he was just like i miss friends
Atlas (Arc-V): Great deck, No character development, Unsure of he even likes the city I'd say B
Jaden :Deserves S because swag nothing more neeeded to be said
Kaiba: One track mind that's why A ( I think the "he's the original mentality is clouding everyone's judgement of the original characters like Atem i like him but i don't believe he is S")
MadStatZ if you watch yugioh 5ds, some of Atlas wins were given to him. Calling into question if his past duels were legit or not. Also he didn’t beat any notable duelist except for Carly. Bastion had character growth in season two, when Jaden dueled that scientist, he found his purpose in dueling. Kaiba deserves a S rating because of his really slow, but actual character development in yugioh, the movie and GX. If Kaiba dueled Jaden or Yusei, with his updated deck, it’s a coin flip to whoever wins.
@@Phantica Bastion no character development?! WHAT? He was done bad by the writers but he found his purpose on dueling and he kicked Manjome's ass and would've done it twice had he not surrendered just cuz he wanted to be acknowledged.
I don't get how Kaiba deserves an S when he lost against all the main antagonists but Chazz doesn't deserve at least A cuz he didn't get many on screens W
Jack a b. Ahahahah
matteo g Jack (5ds version) is not better than Yubel, Yuma, Jesse, Zane and Shark. So Jack (5ds) is a B. Jack wasn’t feared by other duelist, and was treated as a joke. So he’s definitely a B.
I think you needed an SS tier for the OP characters, this way yugi/kaiba can be s tier instead of being in the same tier as for example shay. Aster also deserves to be in a different tier than joey
Yes, Pegasus rated Joey as better than Aster after all
I feel that Jaden could definitely be considered an S tier duelist. Zarc should have been higher too imo, as he beat several of the people who were in the A tier.
Pikachu jaden technically beat yami when that kid stole his deck and yami played through the kid and jaden won
It's Creature Yami wasn’t playing through that guy (his name was Dimitri). Which is why Dimitri lost, as he was just copying Yugi. So he couldn’t use Yugi’s deck with the same ability that Yugi/Yami could.
Pikachu Ik the dude did act like the people who’s decks he was using but I thought he wasn’t actually copying him but yami was playing threw him in that episode although I could have misinterpreted that part
Didn’t zarc only lose against the cards specifically designed to defeat him?
@@REALCreature um, what? Implying that kid was as good as Yami, I don't think so.
Judai is definitely S tier based purely on character development and because he has overall swag alongside yusei from season 4 onwards.
I disagree
No way
Darkskin Gaming HD and that Boy with the pendel deck
What character development has Yusei ever gotten?
Let's not get delusional, o get liking Yusei as a character.
But he is the *MOST UNDEVELOPED* main characfer in Yugioh, he get's no development and is a below average character
BoltMix because Yusei is a flat character who’s Journey is centered around him changing the world and others around him through his beliefs.
I feel like this list should have been based on the characters at the end of the series, and while duel records should be looked at, I don’t think they’re that important. You emphasized losses a bit much.
I know this is an old video, but if you ever do it again, there are some things to consider.
One thing to think of is where the characters end, not necessarily how well they did early on. Chazz starts as a C tiered character, but by the end of the series he was in the same league as Aster, even beating him once. Then there is Syrus who was in the same league as his brother by the end of the series, even though he was pretty weak during the beginning and middle.
If you are going strictly by skill, Zarc is probably only D-status since he was easily outplayed by almost every character he dualed against. What saved him was his near unstoppable deck. However, if you are including his deck, He's S-rank due to the anime boosting his card effects to godly levels, and him defeating a dozen dualists in a row. Same with Dartz considering he took both Yugi and Kaiba on at the same time.
Mai should be up a tier. She was going to beat Marik but Marik virtually cheated to win; and while Marik didn't win a single dual without cheating that I can think of, he did push Yugi to his utmost max despite Yugi being given a card to directly counter Marik's strategy. Therefore Mai is easily B-Tier
Yubel should also be higher, considering she beat Zane, and the only reason Jaden beat her was because he used Super-poly, which is a broken card. Same with Rafael, considering he did beat yugi in a fair dual, and Yugi needed two legendary dragons to beat him in a rematch.
Otherwise I'd say the placements are pretty well done.
I mean, he said he was going to rate them according to their peak... instead he went with W/L ratio...
But then the professor should also be A tier he took yuya and akaba on at the same time. Declan should be S tier he out dueled everybody it is that yuya beated him because of the fk irritating action cards
@@ramonvanesveld2558 To be fair, he put Declan at really high A tier, only behind Kaiba the Yugis, and Yusei, making Declan the 5th top duelist on the list. That's pretty high. I wouldn't quiet put him in the same class as Yugi or Yusei, those two are just OP and have unique abilities to draw cards they need when loosing. You are right about Declan's father though. Declan's father was a brutal dualist who was probably as good if not possibly better than Declan. It's hard to say how good he was with just a single dual as luck/plot armor may have helped in that one dual, but considering he probably taught many of the best dualist in the fusion realm, he's up their in ranks.
@@crazymallets ohh didn't know that in the ranks it goes by order but still kaiba and Declan should be 2 steps higher in the A tier above yuya and the other guy because yuya would have lost his last duel if action cards didn't exist. But still Dartz, yubel and Diva should also be A tier.
@@ramonvanesveld2558 I don’t know if you noticed it, but he reorganizes the specific tiers at the end and Kaiba and Declan are below Yugi so top 5. I’m assuming you just didn’t notice or stay long enough to see
me: i will respect anything he does
TGS: i think ill put joey in B
me: *jumps out of window*
Joey should be especially Waking The Dragons Joey.
Should be A
B is perfect for Joey, he can’t compete with any character is A tier and would get destroyed by some of the other B tier characters. He relies way too much on luck. Soulburner, Shark, Crow, Zane, Aster, Jesse, Yuma, Zarc, Ai, Yubel, Bohman, and Z-one would all destroy Joey.
@@aayusarin5547 I think Joey could take Jesse or Aster.
marlon green Jesse’s deck was able to hold its own against Zane without rainbow dragon. He would have also been able to beat Jaden in their first duel if rainbow dragon existed. I don’t see Joey accomplishing similar feats. However I could see Joey beating Aster.
What!? Kaiba is definitely a S rank Duelist and Character.
Jadyn should be Srank
Honestly.... I would redue this whole list lol
idk about the anime but in the manga kaiba acknowledges Atem as basically his only "equal" wich is the closest he will ever get to admitting Atem's better
In the anime, Kaiba acknowledges Yugi as being as strong as if not stronger than himself, as he was present during the Ceremonial Battle, instead of just appearing afterwards to stare at them over a sand dune after the battle was finished.
I was about to reply that too, I'm pretty sure I recall Kaiba declaring that little Yugi truly deserved the title King of Games during that duel.
Kaiba has actually admitted that not only atem but also yugi are better than him . their they only 2 duelist that he acknowledged specially atem his obsessed with him lol
@@lexbryant4564 Kaiba's declaration actually confuses a lot of people. Because, it differs between the manga and the anime. In the anime, he aknowledges little yugi as worthy of being king of games, but in the manga he doesn't, and in fact he leaves before the end of the final duel. In fact, Kaiba's obsession with bringing back the pharaoh in the movie is because the movie actually follows the manga storyline, not the anime. He was so obsessed because he thought he didn't have anyone as a rival, and he wanted to bring back Atem at all costs. If he had aknowledged yugi, the movie wouldn't make sense, because his actual rival from that point on would have been little yugi instead of Atem if it followed the anime.

He probably couldn't beat yusei. Yusei even has a magical time warping crimson dragon on his side
Try dueling Akiza in some of the games. You will not put her as low as C tier.
What makes even less sense to me is ranking Jack Atlas above her. Aki and Yusei were the two best duelists in 5D's.
Duel sartorius in duel links at lvl 40
@@ryanbarker3978 jack is way better than akisa
She'd be a s tier waifu ngl
@@shadowrealm3245 This is all ultimately opinion, but just so you understand where my take is coming from, here's how I look at this. You're welcome to like whoever you like, I personally think all of the leads in 5D's were awesome and a much stronger cast than Duel Monsters and GX combined.
Plants are a far better synchro engine than Resonators; especially at the time the series was airing. Cards like Black Garden, Dandylion (which is now banned by the way), Glow Up Bulb, Red Rose Dragon, and White Rose Dragon keep the deck moving fast. Pheonixian Cluster Amaryllis is the best card for burn damage in the entire TCG, so much so that it had to be banned due to loop abuse. In a deck that can steadily supply plants to the graveyard, Black Rose Dragon is a much better ace than Red Dragon Archfiend. There are also a lot of great plant synchro monsters Aki didn't use in the show like Moonlight Rose or Garden Rose Maiden (the latter coming later on). It wasn't really until Arc V provided Scarlight RDA and additional Resonator engine that Resonators could do much more than bring out Red Nova. Red Nova (and the newly released Red Supernova) are great cards but it's 90% due to the same protection effects that every upgraded or accel synchro monster got in 5D's. Beyond those, it is just a huge beatstick. If we ever got a Blazing Rose Dragon upgrade that followed the Black Rose theme with something like a field nuke that couldn't be negated or didn't destroy itself, it would have been way more generally useful.
Aki also always played her deck to its full potential and only ever really lost when the plot demanded it. She only ever lost to Yusei because winning either duel would have messed with 5D's initial story arc. The only reason she "lost" against Team Unicorn was because Jack screwed that duel up so badly, and frankly she did an amazing job setting Yusei up for the 3v1 comeback victory. She was a big reason why Team 5D's didn't lose then and there. The rest of her non-wins were DNF's that were again plot driven, like the Arcadia building collapsing. One of the most notable duels in the series where Aki was not obligated to play slowly or lose in was her tag duel in Ark Cradle with Crow, where she carried him while he was playing a better archetype than her. Even when the duels were slow like with Misty, Aki never struggled against any opponent not named Yusei and even then both of her duels with Yusei were extremely close. She proved to be arguably just as skilled a strategist as Yusei on several occasions, the show was just a bit more subtle about her abilities and did not make as big a deal about them or put her in the limelight nearly as often as Yusei.
Meanwhile Jack had some very flashy, fun, and engaging duels, but most of his strategy amounts to summoning tons of big beatsticks to win with powah. Jack is actually exactly the type of duelist Aki excelled at stomping most; often toying with them by utilizing negates and burn damage until they make the mistake of using up all of their deck's resources to bring out a huge monster. That is generally the point she would synchro into Black Rose, field nuke, and use some combination of card effects to revive BRD for the kill.
I loved all of the duelists in 5D's: Jack, Yusei, Aki, and Crow all included. Any one of these characters could go head to head with the strongest duelists in previous seasons and win relatively easily.
Yugi defeated Yami Yugi, Bakura, and held his own against Kaiba and Diva. On top of that Yami says before their final duel, that Yugi has the same skills as himself, he just lacked confidence.
I think this guy explains it perfectly, Yugi was the only one who could beat Atem because of his knowledge of him, but Yami was the better duelist between the two of them against any other opponent.
That was obviously plot armor. No way he would have in a more realistic story
@@RMor66 Other than Gold Sarcophagus Anime Effect, Yugi beat Atem who literally has the most powerful luck boost possible. But DSoD Yugi is way stronger than both Atem and his past self, able to pretty much defeat both DSoD Kaiba (who beats Atem btw,) and Regular Diva. And DSoD Kaiba DID lose, his facedown card was Polymerization as he had it in hand and never played it until his last turn.
@@amberxv4777exactly
No calm down
In my opinion, you cannot place Atem in S tier without including Yugi. They couldn’t have done it without each other. Atem was using Yugi’s knowledge of Duel Monsters to duel.
Yugi dueled Kaiba down to 100 LP in DSOD, before the duel was interrupted and never concluded due to Diva. The lack of conclusion, to me, implies that Yugi is strong enough to hold his own even after time has elapsed.
He also beat Atem in the ceremonial duel. That was no fluke.
I mean, the only reason why Yugi needed help in DSOD was due to magic that he can do nothing about without the millennium puzzle.
TGS Anime You forgot Tyranno Hasselberry, Alexis Rhodes, Atticus Rhodes,Sartorius Kumar,Ishizu,Odion,Yugo, Alister and Valon
Zane is definitely S tier, I mean, come on, the man can guaranteed draw his 5 or 6 card cyber end dragon combo on his first turn :'D
Indeed
He is strong but S would be too much for him
Teal season 1 is definitely S and we’re talking about their prime so he should be S
@@koraydemirci9729 It's not, He has a great deck, has great strategy and is great at critical thinking.
I doubt that anyone in S tier can beat him.
Soe he is *100%* S tier
BoltMix only problem is that he could possibly have a heart attack which is never a good thing
Yuma relies on astral so much he literally had a mental breakdown when they got separated during a duel
And Yugi was barely functional the first time he dueled without Atem.
At the end of s1 he goes toe to toe with kite. Astral barely helped. Shows how he developed from being bronks bitch to a good duelist
@@duckduckgoose2474 explain when he duelled tray
@@Missing-Ace yes in s1. After that he beat vetrix and faker. Theres something called character development moron
@@Missing-Ace
I honestly recommend watching Zexal subbed. Sure it starts off slow, but as soon as Kaito arrives the plot picks up and Zexal II, in my opinion, has some of the strongest and most coherent storytelling in the Yugioh franchise. Zexal dub sucks though.
Pretty sure yusaku hasn't lost a duel.
The flashbacks are yusaku playing a simulation so it doesn't count as a loss.
Needs an S
Yuma should be an A if judai is also if astral is in A tier Yuma should be there.
If we talking bout just dueling ability he Would be S but that personality is SSSSlacking my guy
Yuma would smoke Judai. And how dare he put Syrus's useless ass above Akiza
Jaden is on another level to yuma
Z-arc is the only character that beats like 10 duelists (Jack Atlas) in one Duel. He is S Rank
He doesn't have skill only op cards
Yet he still would rank high because of that. Higher than he is lmao.
Before he had that cheat card he was strong before that.
hhhhhhhhhhhhh zarc is nothing....his cards suck if they're not combined... the author just made that scenario to make him looks strong
@@Islam-bl2lr Yeah when you have 1 week to think about it i think it really is just op cards. (also you scared me just now i was playing games here).
Stopped watching after Z-ARC was placed in B tier
Zarc should be in s tier
Zane and Aster are definitely A tier with Zane being closer to the S tier threshold. And Kaiba is definitely S tier
Yusaku should be S tier
He never lost (execpt flashbacks)
He only tied of few duels
He is exactly like Yusei
Definitly S Tier
Yusei is a better character lmao. Yusasku has no type of character development.
Yusaku should be up there with Atem and yusei
Jason XInfinity question: have you seen the anime
Yusaku do have character development
I'm really hoping you putting Kaiba in A-tier is just for the thumbnail bruh
FoKo 😅 , in defence S-Tier on my list is O.P Broken. A-Tier is the best duellists of all time
@@TGSAnime playmaker is broken, he never lost in like 40 duels and has like 3 draws against bohman and revolver, also getting a random link monster that always wins you the game, you must admit, is broken
@Luke Ed
but he could definitely beat Yusei and a version of him beat jaden like he was nothing
@Luke Ed Kaiba was passed down in history as the No.2 after Atem, the only reason he has so many defeats is so that Atem could shine out more and get the victory all the time. After Kaiba this changed and rivals were given a bit more respect
@Luke Ed I wouldn't say "overestimate", even though I do think he'd be able to reach that S-tier. But either way thats just my opinion, who knows maybe if Diva hadn't interrupted Kaiba's and Yugi's duel in Dark side of dimensions we could've seen more of what he can do (saying this because his LP suddenly stopped at 100 instead of going to 0, and im pretty sure he had one more facedown on the field). Im not mad or anything he didn't out him as S, everyone has their opinions
Speaking of female protagonist Alexis Rhodes AKA Asuka Tenjoin from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
We didn’t see to much of her and Idk how she would hold up but she does have an incredible Win/Lost record.
TyChris94 and she came back in ARC-V
I was surprised he had Bastion and not Alexis; the ultimate insult lol
And Alexis is the best waifu, I loved her when I was a little boy.
Agreed. I think her only losses were Jaden, Chazz (corrupted by the light), and Yuri. That’s pretty good
@@damiannova5207 also against those bad guys in GX S1 and Jaden was the last member with a special item. AND against those guys at season 4??? Only in English sub.
Jaden hasn't done anything too broken? Man's can literally read your mind, know your entire deck and know which order of cards his deck is in (telepathy, communication with card spirits, future vision) and has destiny draw yet still chooses not to use his powers unlike a certain nameless pharaoh who likes to cheat and draw any card he wants cause he can. The reason why they banned pot of greed was single handedly the fault of Atem.
If it came down to a brawl Jaden could enslave your entire deck + exodia and kill your ancestors let alone you.
The fuck are you talking about lol
Jaden lost the final duel against yami
@@marcobelli6856no he didn’t
Yes he did
I fell like Yuma should be “A”at least and probably an “S” because most of his wins in the second part of zexal were done basically done by himself sense astral basically stoped helping him outside of them fusing plus he has the shinning draw which is basically heart of the cards but better sense he can not only draw whatever card he wants in his deck he can also make what ever card he wants
Digi Lord I was really surprised he put Yuma that low too. If he were going by how the duelist grows and develops throughout the series, like he said he was going to, Yuma should be at least A Class
Ariel Majarucon ya definitely
Jesse Quarnstrom just like heart of the cards
Kinda wished that jaden was s tier since elemental hero’s are really flexible and could take on nearly anyone though only a portion was shown in anime since the e-hero archetype was extended even more after gx ended.
Zeronality I’m trying to say that although he is skillful his e-hero support/extended archetype cards he could’ve had would’ve help him a little more but A tier still pretty high.
Arkamyolo Bys irl doesn’t have anything to do with the anime though
Arkamyolo Bys built he lost to kiba man
@@njrhea1881 kaibaman is the coolest. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's has the best intro don't @me
(@ me @TroydanGaming)
Stormy Weraf 5Ds is 2nd to GX but can we all agree that the original had the worst although it's the most iconic
Sorry but have you heard Zexal's intros? Go hear them but pay attention to the lyrics to see why I disagree
Consider what the intros teach you about life zexal is about how believing and friendship go along way and 5d's main topic is Destiny plus teamwork. My opinion thou don't come @ me alright
Kiaba and zane are the best when it comes to being legit and not having any special cheat power's
As much as I'd like to disagree and say Joey is also one of them, I really can't. Even though he doesn't have any special powers, a lot of his deck is luck-based.
Crow on the other hand (as far as I know) is also the best when it comes to actual skill. Haven't watched 5D's all the way through, but the fact that he stood up to a God card with only 50 LP is impressive.
Kaiba not being in S when the few times he lost he was being cheated out of a win and zarc, the guy who bodied most of the people in A tier and didn't even lose because he got unfused being in B is a sin
@@MugenEclipse didn’t Kaiba literally got cheated out of a loss from Aigami and Yugi granted that’s in DSOD
I’d say Declan is actually the best in terms of skill without cheating. Declan to me is Kaiba if kaiba could synchro Xyz or pendulum summon. He literally developed his skills to master all the different summoning methods then made a school to specialize in different summoning methods to defend his dimension from future attack
@@247Lilboy what about Yuya he managed to beat everyone in his original form
The Professor should've been at least B. He was actually really good against Reiji and Yuya until... well... Gatling Ghoul. But 2 on 1 against a reincarnation of Zarc and REIJI AKABA is a really difficult matchup.
Grace and gloria used amazoness not gladiator beast only 1 person uses gladiator beast in yugioh
The Gladiator Beast player's name is Battle Beast from ARC-V.
Battle Beast and his the teacher who trained him both used Gladiator Beast
Ok mate,some constructive critisism.
Rafael as B is a bit ridiculous. The guy was capturing souls left right and center,beat Yami fair and square using card exchange. Yami was forced to play Seal,or else his monsters wouldnt have powered up and if I remember correctly he was holding 1-2 cards incl orichalcos,tough luck beating Rafaels guardian grarl without playing the card. It was an awesome strategy to take down the king of games and it happened as planned. After that,Rafael took down Mai,and in the second duel against Yami,lost purposely by using the effects of soul charge (because he understood that he wasnt fighting on the right side). Should be a very strong A or even S. He had heart.
Second up,Aster at B is not very logical aswell,he was a champ,beat Zane,beat Jaden and multiple times in the 2nd season was identified as the best duelist,hardy tier B category,right?
Rafael S tier for sure
Also reminder that Chazz beat Aster
Also, Zarc should be higher on the list
@@silver_7734 Probably a strong S tier. Everyone sleeping on Z-arc.

-> Sylvio Sawatari
-> Leo Akaba (weak ass mofo)

Mako He isn’t that good without the oricalcous
TGS doesn't mention the duel with Yugi which he almost won I'm talking about Jaden btw
Yuya is more like a real Yu-Gi-Oh player improving his deck everytime he lost and takes that as sort of "experience"
Almost winning doesnt mean anything. Joey almost won against Marik BUT since he technically didnt he didnt count it.
Also Yuya himself has a 100% winrate, right? Unless you count Yuto taking over and partially controlled by Zark
@@riskyworks Unfortunately no. He lost against Reiji in their second duel, against Sergey and Jack in the fortune cup exhibition match. Yuya did improve and beat Reiji later on and also beat Jack Atlas twice.
@@LS-qs9ju Zarc lost twice, his loses were only against Ray. He lose with the very same cards, seems to implied that Zarc only has 1 weakness and if you don’t have those 4 special cards you’re aren’t going to win, pretty OP if you ask me. Also it looks like it depends of the duelist as the Professor tried to use it and Zarc and counter it while he couldn’t against Ray (again lol).
Zarc is almost impossible to defeat and he defeated 11 duelist in a row, that makes him one of the best if not the strongest character in all Yugioh.
S Tier should include The Chazz and The Tyler Sisters
Spunk yes
The problem with the list is that you often would mix "being a good duelist" and "having a good deck". I think you should probably only focus on being a good duelist aka being able to use their decks to their fullest potential, disregarding the power of the decks themselves. So examples: Kaiba had the strongest deck in his series with the most amount of overpowered cards, but he still failed to beat yami (whose deck was much worse). So i wouldnt consider kaiba a high tier duelist. Chazz on the other hand had a terrible deck but he still managed to pull wins by exploiting his options to their max. So Chazz would be a higher tier duelist that kaiba. Akaba renji was a character that had both: a very strong deck and he could clearly use his deck to its full potential. A S tier character in my opinion, next to yami and yusei
The thing is you can't really say Yami is insanely good when he literally wills cards into existence with his millenium puzzle and still lost a couple times. So by your logic if u have the power to will cards into existence and still lose then you should be pretty low. That also puts people like dartz very low since he had the most OP cards anyone had ever seen and still lost. I personally think the tier list should've been a mixture of both.
To be fair, everyone in Gx had a bad deck minus Zane, Jaden. So Chazz deck wasn't that bad.
i know this is old but to be fair Kaiba had strong cards but he always had to go against millenium item users and Atem's heart of the cards ability with the puzzle ability to draw the card he needed
Rafael should be A period, he beat Atem and almost beat him again in their rematch, no way he is B
Yeah Rafael is high a for sure.
I would say even S... how many times u saw Atem actually losing fair
Did you now that yu gi beat Rafael in the remacht
@@erenyeager7967 When his organization steals 3 God cards. Of course, I think he should have a higher rank like A, not S. His deck isn't too strong to compare to new summon (synchro monsters, XYZ, ...) while Atem is stronger than in the past and Atem's deck (in the new movie) still be too dangerous for other duelists.
I remembered Atem lose 1 time when he tries to use dark spell cards Orichalcos.
Rafael honestly is S tier for me
18:27 He only beat Chazz because he interupted the duel with an ad break… Gotta love the dub sometimes, he actually broke the fourth wall
I agree with everything except Zark personally. He should definitely be High A tier or low S-tier. Nobody could take down his (bullshit) deck. It took some random ass SUPER situational cards to beat him.
HE IS THE STRONGEST , NOT LOW S TIER
