      i totally love the duell it is one of my favorites!!!
      But what i never understood, was something what happened in the first Round (during Rukas turn). She played at the beginning two cards face down.
      -->One of these is (fairy breath)
      But what is the other card???
      I know that we never saw it because she didnt play it. But i never saw that in a Duell before, that someone played a face down card without using it. Wait!! I know you guys think "Wait this happened often before" but the difference is, when it happened it has a reason. (Something like, ok in my next turn i will play this trap card to win (but the enemy destroyed it or played something else that you can no longer activate your trap card.
      But it never happened before that on Charackter played a face down card (without thinking about the tactic or soemthing else and just dont use the face down card until the end...
      That is very confusing for me and for years i dont get a solution for that.
      I hope you understand my point and could maby explain why or make example where this happened in an other situation because i am sure this dont happened before ( i mean it never happened before in Yugioh or Yugioh 5ds)

    Rua’s theme is one of the best Yu Gi Oh themes of all time. It is a perfectly musical representation of hope and victory. Finally seeing my Life Stream Dragon after so long was just great. Out of all Signers, I feel Rua proves he deserves his the most out of everyone.

  • @runningoncylinders3829
    @runningoncylinders3829 10 месяцев назад +10

    For me it’s kinda what made Mark of the Monkey special.
    Leo has the resolve to keep getting up against an overwhelming opponent, his best supports with him, and it has the payoff here at long last with Life Stream coming to life. The heart shown here is what Aporia tried to cast away in folly, and it’s similar to someone as corrupted as a Dark Signer. These two duels are why I continue Leo the “Joey” of 5Ds instead of Crow.

Plus all 3 duelists working together to pull off a combo during the last turn to beat Aporia. Definitely my favorite of the 3 Arc Cradle duels prior to the Zone battle.

    This duel of Jack, Rua, and Ruca versus Aporia was definitely a great duel, with the life and death stakes for the protagonists, Rua doubting himself yet still maintaining hope to help protect Ruca as well as play his part in winning the duel, Rua's sacrifice which resulted in him becoming a signer, Rua's power tool dragon evolving into the true 5th signer dragon Lifestream Dragon, and how Jack, Rua, and Ruca worked together to defeat Aporia, and even restore his hope, which plays a role in stopping Z-one.

    Honestly, I think Luna suffered actual Heart Damage from the duel to the point that seeing Leo “die” in front of her actually caused her heart to fail physically, which was why she was losing life points. Not necessarily “despair”, but closer to a heart attack from shock and physical trauma.

      Her reaction and his "death" make this scene IMO the darkest in Yu-Gi-Oh history as Aporia literally tortured 2 young children to death.

Imagine when before the series started Leo and Luna had the wings, but due to luna’s declining health and Leo’s desire to give some of his life to his sister so she could be better he unknowingly gave his signer mark to his sister for her to get better so by the time the series began Luna had both wings.
    And by this point in the story where the roles are flipped and Leo gets his own revival the wing that was his given to his sister returns to him now that Luna wants to help her brother in turn.

    Perhaps for future duels you could go a little more in depth about the build up and aftermath of the duel to really showcase why it is so special. Unless you are trying to avoid spoilers outside the duel. For example, Aporia is using the anti-synchro strategy that he does because synchro summoning is what lead the world to ruin.
    As for the next duel you cover, I'm going to recommend a duel from each show through Vrains.
    DM - Yugi vs Joey Duelist Kingdom
    GX - Judai vs Yubel Final Duel of Season 3
    5D's - Yusei vs Aki Fortune Cup
    Zexal - Nash vs Vector
    Arc V - Yuya vs Reiji Round 2 (just before they go to Synchro)
    Vrains - Revolver vs Lightning

    I watched this duel month ago, just before sunrise after all night long maraton of final episodes of 5Ds (because I wanted to finish it in the same number day when I started it ;) ) and after earlier episodes (WRGP final) it's incredible I still had tears to shed, when I watched it. All this heartstoping moments, when they was losing life points, all of the pain when I saw Rua trying so hard and despite this making things worse was unbearable, I literally was gripping my crossed fingers and praying for our team to get up from kneels and after I saw Rua just fell down on the floor, I don't really remember if I cried, I screamed or just was sitting motionless from the shock. I know one - when Signer's marks started glowing (not just shining, literally glowing like glitter-made), and sign of Crimson Dragon appear on Rua and new part - the heart appear too, and this freaking amazing song hit my ears in headphones, I started crying from joy and relief, and I stayed like that for the rest of the duel.
    This duel, just like others duel in the final still staying vivid in my heart.

    As many pointed out, this was where Leo became the sixth signer and see the reveal of Life Stream Dragon. It was such a crazy duel... Jack, Leo and Luna's literal lives on the line and Leo having to watch his friend and sister suffer throughout. But this gave us a great time to see Leo shine, overcome despair and be a hero. Just everything about this duel, as dark and despairing as it was, it was great

    Leo, who fought so hard to be like his sister, his idol, and his inspiration (Luna, Jack, and Yusei respectively), realized he had limits and needed to break them, risking his actual life in the process without guaranteeing if he could succeed, and not only does so, but inspires his opponent to do the same.
    Leo faced himself in this duel as much as he faced Aporia.

    This duel is good, it makes me a little upset because it took this long for Leo to get some character focus after his duel with Devak. I wish Season 2 focused more on the other half of Team 5Ds, so that character moments like this didn't feel bittersweet.

    Revolver Vs Soulburner.
    This duel when I first watched the episode when I felt apart of the show had me gasp cause I’m like Revolver that’s dirty taking them to the location of the lost incident. The back and forth and the penultimate turn had me shook cause revolver sets up the amazing board.
    When flame dies a part of me did too. To have him deliver that final message was needed closure. Soulburner claims the hard fought win, and needed closure and much needed words from Revolver as well.

    I loved this duel
    Leo for a long time was essentially a comic relief character and hard to take seriously even though he had some skills as a duellist
    He was insecure over how he didn’t think he’d be able to protect his sister (as shown when he told Luna he wanted to stay behind when they went to fight the Dark Signers)
    In this duel , Leo essentially committed suicide to give Luna and Jack a fighting chance (I still question Luna’s points dropping when she never took damage when Leo died)
    Leo had his breakthrough moment how he was revived as a Signer
    Leo proved he could protect his sister and he’s more than the comic relief 😃😃

    I was hoping he go into more detail, specifically more about aporia ideals, he talk about the despair that he was force to endure throughout his life
    Leo: losing those who love you, referring to his parents
    Luna: losing those who you love, referring to losing his lover
    Jack: having no one left to love: referring to being the only human to survive the apocalypse (I’m referring to before he met zone & the other)
    Then we see his past again when aporia memories start to flood in, being hunted by the meklord as a kid, being in the army as an adult, being alone in a destroyed world in his elderly year!
    Those memories are the reason why aporia wanted to throw away his humanity and what cause him to go insane!
    Then we have Leo who at one part just skip his turn because he felt so bad for his previous mistake, so he decided to do nothing to avoid hurting his friends again only to immediately regret that decision cause he remember that he could have tried to protect his sister from being hurt
    And we have the flashback where we see him praying over his comatose sister when they was children, asking for any god or Devine being to bring his sister back!

    I would love for you to go over the jaden vs yubel duel, I think that would be a good duel to go over, seeing Jaden trying to figure out his feeling for yubel.
    Struggling between feeling guilty for what he did (unknowingly) to yubel and making her as crazy as she is. & resenting her for causing him and his friends so much pain.
    Learning about the promise that he made to yubel centuries ago in another life and how much she truly do love and care for him!
    Seeing yubel just go more and more crazy as the duel progressed as she is dueling the Person that she love, only to be force to accept that the person she love resent her, so instead of trying to be with said person. She goes for the ‘IF I CANT HAVE THEN NO ONE CAN’ Approach. Only to cry when Jaden decide to love her and be with her forever by fusing with her, ending his own life so they can mature together.
    Before anyone get mad at me about yubel gender, I am more familiar with the English dub, I grew up on the English as a kid, I watch it countless time. So while I am fully aware that yubel is bi-gender or whatever. I’m more use to her being a women and will refer to her as such, plus it’s still technically correct since she is both gender. If you want anyone to blame for that, blame 4kids

    1 thing I should say: Red Dragon Archfiend could not actually attack any of the Meklord Armies on the turn it was summoned, since duels like these always follow the rule that no player is allowed to attack on their first turn. So even without Power-Up Connector they were still pretty screwed as Aporia could just use Granel's effect to halve RDA's ATK and beat it over (and he'd still have Power Gravity face-down in case Rua would use that smarter moment to use Power-Up Connector). Of course, they'd take a lot less damage (or "just" less damage if Rua were to try and use Power-Up Connector to protect RDA), so it still would've opened up Ruka and/or Jack (depending on how Aporia would split his damage) to play more cards.

    Is it bad for this duel I wanted to see Ancient Fairy Dragon evolve along with Powertool and save Rua? Like he of course deserves Life Stream but I figured it would be cool if Life Stream still got overpowered by Aporia but then Ruk/Luna, determined to save her bro, gets Ancient Fairy Dragon to evolve further switching its defense power to offense and a new effect that can assist others/itself if possible. That would be cool seeing an evolved Ancient Fairy Dragon, Lifestream and Red Nova together against Aporia.

    i totally love the duell it is one of my favorites!!!
    But what i never understood, was something what happened in the first Round (during Rukas turn). She played at the beginning two cards face down.
    -->One of these is (fairy breath)
    But what is the other card???
    I know that we never saw it because she didnt play it. But i never saw that in a Duell before, that someone played a face down card without using it. Wait!! I know you guys think "Wait this happened often before" but the difference is, when it happened it has a reason. (Something like, ok in my next turn i will play this trap card to win (but the enemy destroyed it or played something else that you can no longer activate your trap card.
    But it never happened before that on Charackter played a face down card (without thinking about the tactic or soemthing else and just dont use the face down card until the end...
    That is very confusing for me and for years i dont get a solution for that.
    I hope you understand my point and could maby explain why or make example where this happened in an other situation because i am sure this dont happened before ( i mean it never happened before in Yugioh or Yugioh 5ds)
