crystalbreaker947 To be fair, Yugioh protagonists had zero mention of their parents until 5DS, and that was in the later half of the series. Yuma and Yuya's parents were shown or at least mentioned from episode one. And as for the victims' parents: Yusaku: He's a protagonist so he kinda gets a free pass. Jin: Shoichi never mentions their parents, so...I don't know. Takeru: His grandparents told him that his parents died in a car accident. As if those 6 months of hell weren't bad enough, those were the some of the first news he got. Specter: He was an orphan, so he gets a pass. And that sadistic son of a bitch liked the Lost Incident, be was like: "OH GOD YES, ELECTROCUTE ME HARDER!"
The most we've had for Yugi is a 1 sec clip of his mom Jaden's parents were only shown in a photo on one of jaden's childhood flashbacks regarding the Yubel's backstory, and they only showed their bodies, not their faces (I think so it happened that way) Mr.Fudo made appeareances in 5DS as spirit form and Mrs.Fudo was only shown in a picture, holding Yusei as a baby Yuma's parents were supposed to be "traveling" around the world as paleonthologists or something like that, later it was revealed Mr.Tsukumo was "sent to the Astral world" implying he died in the expedition with Dr.Faker Yuya's parents were shown since the beginning. His mom appearing since the very beginning, and Yuusho being his.. "adoptive father"? Who knows with the whole Z-ARC thing, time-space travel paradoxes... just bad scripting from Kensho Ono (at the end of the series) We haven't had even a single clue from Yusaku's parents or relatives. Not even a photograph...
@@crystalbreaker947 We do see Yuma's parents physically in Astral World, but they never met Yuma while he was there for some reason. Given that Team Zexal can freely travel between worlds, Yuma would have probably met up with them again unless they traveled to another one.
@@mr.mimikyu2342 ikr in a Naruto list, they shamed him for exposing boruto and shamed him for giving forgiveness like the vids are rushed to make up to 5 vids daily
My Top 5 duels 1. Yugi vs Kaiba 2. Yugi Muto vs Seto Kaiba 3. Yugi Muto, the king of card games vs Second Rate duelist Seto Kaiba 4. The kid with the spikey hair, who is known to be the world's most greatist duelist vs the rich spoiled orphan dude who sucks at a children's card game. 5. A japanese boy living with his old grandpa, who loves his friends and who also has an egyptian spirit living in his body, who is also the world's greatist player at a game made by an older white gay dude, who copied egyptian ancient games vs another japanese boy, who was left an orphan with his little brother, only to become the world's most rich person and who is also weak at playing a game desined for 10 year olds.
I'd just like to point out that Kaiba's no joke. People like to downplay him because he constantly loses to Yugi, but the only time he ever lost fair and square was against Dartz. Every other opponent either had Millenium Item hax or in Noah's case just flat out cheated.
I almost cried when Trapeze Magician died and Dennis yelled "TRAPEZE MAGICIAN!"... OK not really, but still. He looked so sad when he realized the only way he could have a chance to win at that point was to reveal his true identity.
1:01 Yugi vs Pegasus 2:36 Yugi vs Jaden 3:56 Yuma and Shark vs Don 1,000 5:33 Jack, Leo, Luna vs Aporia 7:15 Yuma vs Shark 8:40 Yugi vs Yami 9:59 Zane vs Jessie 11:43 Yusei vs Kalin 13:48 Shun and Sora 15:49 HM: Yusaku vs Akira, Jaden vs Zane, Roman vs Yusei, Yuya vs Reiji 17:00 Yugi vs Kaiba, Battle City Finals
I may be biased since it’s my favourite deck but the Bakura vs Yugi to the end of the original series is and will probably always be my favourite. I felt that finally Bakura weren’t sidelined and truly showed how powerful he actually was, and even though he lost we got to see a creepy as hell deck which I loved. On top off that this duel truly showed us how good Yugi was without the help of Atem.
great duels that arent here: - Shark(Nasch) vs IV - Jim vs Supreme King - Judai vs prof.Cronos (season 4) - Jonochi vs Marik - Kite vs Mizael - Yuya vs Reiji
I feel like those 5ds WRGP duels arent getting enough credit , and that one of hem should ve made the list , either 5ds vs team unicorn , or 5ds vs team ragnarok .
I think my favorite duel had to be Hell Kaiser vs Johan or the Supreme King vs Jim. Season 3 was my favorite season out of gx and much darker with a lot of tension than season 4. I feel like season 3 characters that were introduced got the spotlight they deserved and season 4 tried to cope with the lack of screentime with the others ones. But regardless very nice list. I do love all of the duels you listed.
I feel like season 3 really made it for me and season 4 while it was short was pretty nice. I feel like a lot of people miss season 3 since the changes of tone and character are heavily cut out. if you rewatch season 3 i feel like people will like gx a lot more.
Season 3 was so dark and the characters were really developed. Yubel was such a great villain as well. Not to mention the badass Zane vs Evil Jesse which was by far one of the best duels of GX!
I think the best Arc - V duel was Yuuya vs Jack, second match. It was simply incredible, the best version of two rivals, a large fight and a very good end.
Nummber 3: Yuma vs Astral A great Duel showing how far Yuma has come and him relerning to have fun while Dueling. Nummber 2: Zane vs Jaiden (There 2 Rematch ) A action filled duel with multipile combos in it plus showing that Jaiden still has a long way to go. Nummber 1: Atem vs Yugi One of the best Duels in the Series history in my opinion. Not only did we see Yugi taking out all Egyptian Gods but also Dark Magican and a great finish to both of the Charakters arcs.
mine is definitely team 5ds v team ragnarok, i absolutly loved that match, from jack and dragon's past, crow and brave's similarities to yusei's use of both saver star and shooting star dragon to beat harald's three turn insta win, it was so good that and i love norse mythology
@@bleachisgoodforurhealth9946 Judai would've used Honest's effect to gain Slifer's attack points. They didn't show the ending purposely just to leave us to speculate.
Honestly i would have picked Yusey vs Z-ONE for the first place, for many things. It just gives me chills thinking of all that is at stake in that duel, all those lives endangered, the present and the future at risk, a fight for two radically different ideals, and not just that. The creepy vibe i get every time from the dramatic chorus in the background, the setting under the Arc Cradle. Yugi vs Kaiba was good, but it was just so that one of them could get the King of Games title
favourite from each show yugioh: yugi vs atem just a great duel over all showing yugis development over the entire show GX: Supreme king vs jim I always love when good characters turn evil it was great seeing judais new evil hero deck and see what hes become after what happened with bron 5Ds: Yusei vs jack a great duel to finish the first season and yusei finally beating jack this remach was hyped up so well throughout and after that 'draw' the two had in the 4th episode it was great to finally see yusei proving he was the better duelest and proving what jack did was wrong ZEXAL: Yuma and shark vs don thousand I agree I really love how obsurd and crazy this duel got with all the crazy atk point and life point vaues ARC V : didn't watch arc v but it would probabky be the duel where he summons odd eyes raging dragon hands down the best summon in any yugioh show VRAINS: yusaku vs revolver 4th round and revolver vs windy revolver is my favourite vrains character and how he almost beat playmaker extra linking him and just crippling his hand was amazing beating him down I really though playmaker was gona loose. revolver comes back after 25 episodes +, synchro summon, BEATS AN IGNUS and has a new look it was really great and the story in that duel was great learning what the ingnus were planning the destruction of the cyberse just great stuff.
Yugioh Everything what about Yusaku vs Revolver round 4 it's a amazing duel and but the only thing that annoyed me is decode talker, I still think firewall dragon is his ace but that monster pissed me off, yusaku vs spectre the duel was amazing and two victims of the lost incident battling, using akira as hostage is cheating, after his sacrifice this made yusaku angry and annihilated spectre, yuya vs yuri perhaps my opinion of the best duel in arc v, both English and Japanese version done a very good job for the duel, Yuri just cornered yuya, recklessly taunting him about Yusho and Yuzu, but he than obliterated Yuri, Yugi vs Marik this duel was really great all gods in the duel and a fantastic end of the best arcs, why didn't you add those four duels
@@YugiohEverything I don’t think there is a single top 10 list that doesn’t include this duel. It has so much going for it. Main rivals, showdown of the titans, incredible back and forth action, amazing dueling and an incredible ending. It truly deserves to be #1. The only thing about the list I would change is adding the second duel between soul burner and revolver to it.
#7 should have been higher, but maybe that's just me liking Rua's development in this single duel xD Did not expect #3 being that high either. In the manga, the #1 duel was much shorter but the anime adaptation was really nice, so I do think it is up there! Definitely see why you made these picks though! My #1 is still sora vs shun, it was the high point of Arc-V.
That's a completely understandable #1! And yeah 7 was great, I have always just LOVED the Kiryu VS Yusei Round 1, but I mean there are so many amazing duels, it's tough to separate them when they are all this high quality!
I’d say Yuma vs Astral was one of the best duels. It was a chance for Yuma to show what he’d learnt from the person who taught him. It was emotional as either way, Astral would have left Yuma after all the journeys they’d had together
Great list as always 👍🏻 mine : 10- Playmaker vs Akira 9- Yusie vs Zone 8- Yugi & Kaiba Vs Dartz 7- Yusie vs Jack (Fortune Cup) 6- Playmaker vs Revolver 43-46 5- Shun vs Sora 4- Yugi vs Kaiba the battle city 3- Zain vs Jesse ( Yubel) 2- Yuma & Astral & Nasch vs Don Thousand 1- Yuma vs Nasch Honorable mentions : Joey vs Marik - Jaden vs Aster round 1- Yusei vs kiryu- Kaito Vs Mizael the moon duel- Yuya Vs Yuri - Revolver vs Windy
Two of my favorites are from the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Show, which is Yugi VS Noah, and Marik VS Joey. Both were incredibly emotional and action-packed in my opinion.
Nice list! Off the top of my head, the few I have are: Aporia vs the twins and Jack Yusei vs Z-One Shun vs Sora Round 1 Shun vs Dennis Supreme King vs Jim (Jim was awesome and underrated af, I miss him) Jaden vs Zane Round 2 Joey vs Valon
My favorite duel of all time has to be the final duel between Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas; a duel we knew we might not ever see happen again. The duel was so action packed with everyone bringing out their older Synchro Monsters that we haven't seen for quite some time. The fighting animation between Shooting Star Dragon and Red Nova Dragon was perhaps my favorite fight animation from the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! series. And the way it ended was so amazing; finishing it off with Junk Warrior attacking into Red Dragon Archfiend, which we only ever saw happen in the first opening of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. Junk Warrior was the one to start it all, and he was the one to end it all.
This is by far the best duel imo. I love how yusei decides to stay in the city and everyone else also finds his own way, because yusei inspired them all
Really great video, Dylan! With so many great dues, I’m sure that it was extremely difficult to narrow it down to 10; you did a great job doing so! One duel that I really enjoyed that was not mentioned was Vector vs Durbe and Mirage. This was probably one of Vector’s most savage moments, while also showing how well Barian’s can work together, without self destruction.
The first time I saw Sora vs Shun, I thought the show was going in the best direction it possibly could and that ARC-V just might end up being the strongest entry to the series. Had it continued like this, it certainly had a shot. I actually had a dissociative experience with that duel and momentarily didn't realize it was a Yugioh episode; it's that good.
there a couple of my favorites, but I still love Jack vs Carly (5d's), Crow vs Shun (Arc-V), and just fro the meme... Yugi vs Weevil (DM-Waking the dragons)
So hard so I do top 20 ! Yes I can: 20 - Mizael VS III and V, I almost feel it the brothers won, one card can change the situation. This is similar when I almost won in Mario Party because of Destiny space ! But thank Mizael survive or we have no famous Duel best dragon master. 19 - Yusei VS Aki ep 40 & 41, a best transition when Aki can control hers powers, accept to join with Signers and forgive his parents. This is only moment we have exchange between Yusei and Aki and their last duel before work together. 18 - Yuya VS Hokuto, the only best duel for Hokuto for me, I feel it he is powerful with XYZ and Yuya been confused, I'm laughing for the end, Am I the only one sorry for Hokuto ? 17 - Yugi VS Marik Battle City, the first duel I remember in my childhood, so intense and see Marik beats the dark side. Wow. 16 - Alito VS Girag, the famous Sacrifice, I know it's to short because we have to follow Vector VS Merag duel but the big point is the famous saddest moment I loose my husband Alito. I really cry everytime i watch. Not in top 5 because I choose about "Duel" mean action and good cards. But still good in emotions. 15 - Shark VS Kaito, the only duel beetween our rivals (choose your side lol) but the best moment is Shark ready to protect for Yuma, redeem himself. 14 - Valon VS Jonouchi, I know he does for Mai and fight Jonouchi before her but I imagine how much he suffered after all the violence moments. I'm really sorry for Valon. 13 - Playmaker VS Revolver ep 44-46, So much intense between main characters, we know the truth about ignis, past and so many things. The only best duel in Vrains for the moment. 12 - Aki VS Misty 60 - 61, both deck are awesome, one of my favourites Girls duels. And with Misty flashbacks is so sad. And the only episode we saw monster can eat human, rip Divine. 11 - Kaiba VS Noah, very very very long but Noah changes him to a stone. Thanks Yugi won and save everyone ! YEAH ! And Noah has great monsters too. 10 - Yuma & Kaito & Shark VS Dr. Faker, one of the best 3 VS 1 duel ! Better LDS trio VS Shun because Shark has bleeding and Kaito almost done after Photon strengh they continue to fight with Yuma. A very good work team. 9 - Kaiba VS Amelda, the last Amelda's duel, the best point is the exchange between duelists. I'm really interesting when they talk each other. 8 - Yuma VS Alito ep 129 & 130, the first Zexal duel I saw, the first episode I saw Alito and the first time I learn his flash back. It's so symbolic for me, the original soundtrack is wonderful too. 7 - Yusei VS Z-One, the best final duel between hero and antagonist, sorry better than Yuma and Shark (and Kaito) VS Don Thousand because: Only Kotori is here to cheer up not better if we have all Dragons from each Signer. The end of Don Thousand is ridiculous he just say bye bye and we have Z-One last exchange and sacrafice for Yusei. 6 - Yugi VS Atem, how could I forget the saddest moment when Yugi cry even he win the duel, Atem leaving and everything ? Never forget. 5 - Yuzu VS Masumi ep 29, before we never see Masumi fighting again. So much actions and fun. A great evolution for Yuzu and a relationship is born with Masumi. Too bad LDS trio are not F***** back ! 4 - Yusei VS Kiryu ep 33-35, the only duel when Yusei loose the duel and almost dead. I know how he feels after the moment with the Giant monster. Sure now I'm scared to fight again. 3 - Yuma VS Shark ep 141 - 143, I'm really impressive to saw all Number 100, Barians appeared with Nash. So much good moments here. 2 - Yusei VS Jack ep 152 - 154 The best last duel in Yugioh series, they find their own way. The last exchange before the separate but they still have link. 1 - Kaito VS Mizael ep 134 & 135, the only duel the winner died. Mizael doesn't believe about his past, Kaito died and give the card to him and Mizael is crying to see his rival saved him from Don Thousand dying. Sorry for taking so long, it was difficult to choose the best of the best. Thanks for waiting.
@@aurumofcyberelius III is Trey, V is Quinton, IV is Quattro, and Girag is the Big, Muscular Barian that brainwashed a lot of people. (These would be correct if you watch the dub)
GX did a lot of behind curtains foreshadowing, with the idea of Judai having hazy memories of his childhood, and other stuff, but the majority of this was for Judai, or bad guys. Also one of the few series that in the end says that Darkness isn't evil, but gray and light also isn't evil but gray, it all depends on who is using it. A beautiful change of pace that, it's never brought back...
While I loved most of these duels as well, 2 of my all time favorite duels actualy include Joey and Marik. Both their actual individual vs duel (which only gets minor points for Joey not actualy winning, as that would have been a great twist. Final villain not defeated by main protagonist. While the duel did show how far (in a very short time withoud aide of money, magic, past lives and god monsters and what not) has come, it would have been even more powerfull if Joey had actualy won. And the duel with Posessed by Marik Joey vs Yugi. was one of the most emotionaly tense duels in all of yugioh so far for me (for reference I am currently watching Arc V so I haven't seen everything yet). That duel was not good for my heart. But man was it a good one. To me these 2 where def part of the very best the original yugioh had to offer. I also really loved the duel between Nash and vector. And I also have a bit of a soft spot for the 3rd/4th place battle city duel between Seto and Joey, because again it shows how far Joey has come in such a short time with such a scrapped together deck. See his first duel with Seto, then compare to that one. World of difference. Joey seriously gets underestimated by the community sometimes. People tend to focus on statistics to determine how good a duelist is (like how many of their matches did they win). Which is flawed, as those statistics say nothing about WHO the characters faced and where they come from. joey lost quite some duels this is true, but considering where he started from, who he faced, how he is one of the few main characters in any of the yugioh series that did not in any way shape or form had outside help/shit tons of money/sponsors/magical abilities or powerups/magical or supernatural or powerfull items and or help/past life help/any prior experience with the game what so ever / no super monsters like god cards or numbers or any of that sort, didn't even have a deck that was very in sync with itself because Joey simply worked with a deck that was pulled together from scratch, and every strong card he got he won fair and square from different play style decks.. and somehow he kept up with the best of them all. Somehow he skill wise beats Marik, makes Seto work for it by the end, and is implied to have beaten Yami (he got his red eyes back, and Yami respects joey to much to lose on purpose just to return a card.). Joey is a serious underdog, even in the fandom. Statistics wise he isn't very high up. But when looking a little closer he's one of the best duelists in all of yugioh.
I adored the build up to Kaito vs Mizael. Like Mizael is one of my favorites in Zexal and his introduction to the series (since Gilag and Alit had been reduced to being less serious antagonists at that point) was incredible. Plus their rivalry was always noble to to see their final duel end the way it did had a lot of weight to it. One of my favorites in Zexal, but I like a lot of Zexal duels (Mihael vs Yuma, the sargasso duels, Thomas vs Ryoga, plus the ones you mentioned). Also it doesn't make my top 10 but Yuzu's duels vs Masumi and her first d wheel duel were so fun to watch. I also wish we had gotten a proper fleshed out duel between Yuri and Yugo. It was too rushed for all the build up it had. At the very least Yuri vs Yuya was great because it was Kensho Ono vs Kensho Ono.
I think these are my top 10 dual for now: 10. Dr. Faker vs Yuma, Shark and Kite 9. Dennis vs Shun 8. Yugi vs Kaiba Battle City 7. Sora vs Shun 6. Jaden vs Aster rematch 5. Yusei vs Kalin rematch 4. Yusei vs Jack Fortune cup 3. Yuma vs Vetro 2. Tie between Yugo vs Serena and final dual Yuma vs Nash 1. Jaden vs Dimitri Honorable mention: Jaden vs Dr. Banner, Leo and Luna vs Devack, Noah vs Yugi, and Yuma vs Trey
I definitely agree with the top spot - the episode in particular where it’s essentially Slifer vs Obelisk is so fun to watch. The amount of back and forth they had with Slifer’s attack power was brilliant
You included a lot of duels with insane mechanics going on such as Aporia vs Jack/Luna/Leo and the Don Thousand duel and I really wasn't a fan of those. I preferred the smaller scale but still impactful duels. In no particular order: From Arc-V: Shun vs Sora because not only does it feel really technically good but also we go in thinking Sora is a good guy and rooting for him to beat Shun but at the end we're kinda glad Shun won or at least not sure who to root for. From Duel Monsters: Both of the Yugi/Yami vs Rafael duels, I felt the first one where Rafael revealed the darkness within was incredibly important because the protagonist lost that late into the show in such an important scene. Also we got the shocking revelation that the heart of the cards failed Yugi for once. Also from Duel Monsters I pick Valon vs Joey because it was so unique. From GX: Jaden and Jesse vs Fujiwara. Not really sure why but I just thought the teamwork they displayed was incredible and Jaden and Jesse were some of my favourite characters in yugioh. Also from GX I think in season 4, Cyrus vs the Jinzo player i forget the name of because it shows he is inheriting Zane's legacy and really growing into his own as a duellist and as a character. From 5Ds: Team Ragnarok vs Team 5Ds I thought was an incredible duel due to the sheer odds not just Yusei but the entire team managed to over come, every member of team 5Ds played exceptionally and it was brilliant. Also the Nordic Gods are some of my favourite boss monsters. From Zexal: IV vs Nasche/Shark in his barian emperor form. Purely because it was such a change from the first time we saw them, where IV was the antogonist and shark the hero we wanted to win changing over to becoming IV. But also because the hero lost, which is rare at that stage. Zexal in my opinion had some of the best side characters and this duel just exemplified this in my mind. The fact that IV felt they were in fact old friends in this game stood out to me. An honourable mention in this would also be any duel with Mizar, I thought he was an epic character. His duels with Kaito, III and V were incredible. From Vrains: Go vs Revolver because it showed me how skilled Go really was that he could stand up to revolver, but also in an almost nostalgic sense because it was the last time we see Go as a hero. Final duel was also from Vrains, Yusaku vs Spectre. First time we saw another lost incident child and it really hit home how good the lost children had become at the game, Spectre defeated Blue Angel with almost no difficulty and broke her mentally but he was in term broken by playmaker. His rage right at the end of the duel when his ace was destroyed ultimately caused him to lose the game. It also gave a completely different perspective on the lost incident from someone who viewed it as a salvation.
Here's my top 10 best duels in yu-gi-oh, but also the best battles/conflicts in anime so far: 10 - Judai Vs Tenis guy. This duel brings the topic of women being treated as objects by having the tennis guy putting her as the reward. It makes opens your eyes. 9 - Yuma Vs Tomato guy. This one also brings topics for debate, it talks about how people get so fixated over the things they love and this leads to them becoming blind to reallity and even becoming extremists. 8 - Asuka Vs 3 random fusion dimension guys. Oh, the dangers of patriotism and blindness towards the government. This almos feels like 1984. 7 - Crow Vs Yeager. Not every duel has to be smart to be good. This one brings what I like to call "cup noddle humor" something pretty similar to Monthy Python's humor. 6 - Yuya Vs Kachidoki round 2. The end of one of the greatest rivalries since Ash and Gary. The emotion of seeing Kachidoki's character arc coming to an end always breaks my heart and leaves me with a smile. 5 - Soulburner Vs Aoi. You see, at the end of the duel Aoi realizes that Takeru won because of his bond with an Ai and this really makes you think about how we relly way too much on technology, this message becomes clear the moment he uses a card that blocks 300 or less effect damage. This is really specific, and you what else is? Ai's! 4 - Judai Vs Monkey Wheeler. When talking about nostalgia in yu-gi-oh, people might think about legacy characters or old concepts being brought back, but this duel is what the fans want. It makes you feel like a kid watching Duel Monsters again. 3 - Lancers vs Trio of random guys using the same strategies. Arc-V has this meta narrative about how the tcg players start using the same decks and same combos over and over again, taking out the fun of the game. These 10 dusels encapsulate that message. 2 - George Gore duels. I... I can't bring myself to write about them. 1 - Dylan Vs Reiji. This one was a rolleclaster of emotions. The best moment was when Dylan turned evil, it made you question who was the actual hero. And Reiji's dialogues were full of emotion, every line could mean both nothing and everything at the same time. And the conclusion... oh, man, nothing will ever top that.
When I started reading this comment: This has got to be a meme. When I was reading the explanations: Okay, damn. This...actually sounds kinda deep. Maybe this comment is on to something. When I read the number one pick: Okay, nevermind. You have officially bamboozled me, good sir. *tips hat*
Watching this for the first time, four years after the upload, I'm surprised that you hadn't waited for VRAINS to conclude before making this list. I'm very curious to know where you would put Revolver vs Soulburner on this list, since you've said in past video that it is the best VRAINS duel and one of the best in Yu-Gi-Oh.
Been waiting on this one!! My top 10 are: Honorable mention: Joey vs Bonz (DM S1) 10. Crowler vs Camula (GX S1) 09. Yugi, Jaden & Yusei vs Paradox (BBT) 08. Marik vs Bakura (DM S2) 07. Kaiba vs Pegasus (DM S1) 06. Blue Angel vs Spectre (VR S1) 05. Yusei vs Kalin Rematch (5Ds S2) 04. Yusei vs Akiza Rematch (5Ds S2) 03. Signers vs Goodwin (5Ds S2) 02. Yugi vs Strings (DM S2) 01. Yugi vs Kaiba (Castle-top) (DM S1)
A personal favourite duel of mine is Judai vs Bronn, Mad King of Dark World. The sheer balls that duel had to kill 4 of Judai's friends and cause 3 more to abandon him was insane. Bronn, more than Yubel was responsible for the Supreme King, which got Judai to kill 2 more friends. Bronn lost that duel but went so hard that Judai basically never recovered, and that makes it so incredibly memorable
The only appropriate duel to be number 1 is yugi vs haga. (Cant remember his name in dub) even those who havent played yugioh for years. Remember this duel.
Can agree with this list! And that thumbnail is sick dude! As for me, I’m actually a little surprised that the final duel between Reiji and Yuya at the end of Arc-V wasn’t on the list. And Yugi vs Kaiba deservedly takes the number one spot!
I have to agree with you, Dylan, on your number one. My dad, sister, and I just watched this duel, as we're re-watching the Duel Monsters series. I had forgotten just how intense that duel was, until we re-watched it last night. For sure the best duel ever, along with Yugi vs. Atem, another favorite.
My most hated Yugioh characters are 1: Crow Hogan 2: Leo Akaba 3: Weevil Underwood 4: Chazz Princeton 5: Bronk 6: The Doctor 7: That idiot that used Abbys actors. 8: Jesse Anderson AND Soulburner 9: Don Thousand 10: Yuya Dishonorable mentions goes to Yuma, Specter, Tori Meadows, Bandit Keith, Zarc, Armstrong and Yugo.
Jack vs carly. that duel man... One of the few duels in all yugioh that you wish could be stopped and kurosaki vs sora is great and all, but I liked Kurosaki vs Crow way more.
Top 10 best duels in Yu-Gi-Oh history (Anime & Movies) 10. Joey vs Valon 9. Yugi vs Kaiba (DSOD) 8. Yugi vs Pegasus 7. Zane vs Jesse (Yubel) 6. Jaden vs Yugi 5. Yuma and Shark vs Don Thousand 4. Yugi vs Atem 3. Jaden vs Zane (Rounds 2) 2. Yugi vs Kaiba (Battle City) Honorable Mentions: Jaden vs Sartorius (Round 1 & 2) Yuma vs Shark (Final) Kite vs Mizar Joey vs Yami Marik Yusei vs Kalin (Round 1 & 2) Yuya vs Yuri Playmaker vs Revolver (Round 3) Yusei vs Roman Yuma vs Astral 1. Jack, Leo, & Luna vs Aporia Yeah...your right....this is NOT an easy list to make in the slightest.....cuz throughout Yu-Gi-Oh's history there has been a lot of fantastic duels in each series.
Nice choice for number # 1! I can’t make a top ten list for myself but some of my favorites were the fortune cup diuel in 5-d’s because it was just fun and intense and it had baclstory and showed development to Jack. I also liked the two duels between Kiryu and Yusei in season 1 because of the backstory and Kiryuwas a great character. I also liked Aki vs Yusei because you were rooting for Yusei to get through to Aki. I also liked the first are-match between Manjoume and Judai (after Manjoume returned to the school in his black get-up after being missing for weeks) because it was badass and gave good development to Manjoume. I also liked the rooftop duel between Kaiba and Yugi because it was badass and I liked the twist at the end. Some other great duels are the duels that Edo took part in. These duels handled his character development was amazing and the circumsfrom handing Zane his very first defeat, being one of the only three duelists to beat Jaden, an epic tag duel with Sartorious, and sacerficing himself to save a girl he hardly knew. Well, I hoped you enjoyed my long wall of text.
My persona top 3 are 1. Yusei vs Jack Final duel of 5DS - Yusei's finishing blow with his good old trusty Junk Warrior always gives me chills 2. Atem vs Yugi - This duel just had so many wow factors. All 3 Egyptian Gods were summoned and Yugi managed to defeat them all. And they didn't lose momentum and immediately kept dueling between Black Magician vs Silent level up deck. And finally the sealing of Monster Reborn in Gold Sarcophagus as an emotional farewell message saying that the dead should move onto the afterlife. 3. Judai vs Crowler Graduation duel of GX - absolutely amazing duel that ends the same way their first ever duel in the first episode ended. It showed not only Judai's growth but also Crowler's growth and development from mean ass teacher to really great mentor.
By far my favorite duel is the one between team 5D's and team Taiyo during the world prix in season 2. This is a duel thats usually forgotten since as far as story relevance goes its really just "that team they fought before ragnarok" but honestly it gets way to little credit. Team Taiyo were my favorite characters in the series because they were just some guys, not destined to save the world or wanting to destroy it or anything in between. They were just some guys with a dream that tried really hard to succeed, They dont get to much backstory but what we do get says enough. The duel itself was also unlike any other in the series because nothing happens for the most part. Taiyo does not but stall with some weak normal monsters and outdated trap cards, the reason being that they just dont have any good cards. It honestly gets kinda boring and the crowd even starts heckeling against them. Of course they were playing up to something which i wont spoil ( even if the show warns us before hand) but it ends in a really cool way and by the end seeing them being so happy despite losing is just an incredible sight. Its so sad that such a well done and unique duel ends up being forgotten due to a lack of story relevance and the characters just leaving as soon as they came. You can see it in 5D's episode 119-121 although i also recommend watching episode 118.
Honestly my personal favorites are Jaden and Jesse vs Yubel and fujiwara and most of crows duels seriously i think i luv crow to much i am FUSTRATED i dont have him in duel links yet 😠.But other favorites are the ending duels in each series like jaden vs darkness,yusei vs zone,yuma vs shark they just feel so emotional especially with the music the only one im not counting is arc v cause i dont even need to say anything about that ending Seriously Zexal pulled a dragonball why can't Arc V . Imma just say the my duels from each series. Yugi vs kaiba at the tournament especially seeing kaibas face 😱😨😰😂😂😂 for Gx :Jaden and Jesse vs Yubel it was a grand debut vs rainbow dragon and having jaden realize who yubel is,5ds:any duel that involves crow is automatically awesome,Zexal :the yuma vs shark end duel it was like a rivalry bromance duel,Arc V:yuya vs gong seriously i loved that duel we all need a gong as our friend,Vrains currently the duel where ai goes playmakers size to save him from falling seriously what episode was that again.Wow i really type a lot 😂
I would put the series finale of 5Ds, Yusei vs Jack, on the list, mainly because of the ending and how Yusei wins not with the evolutions of Stardust he acquired throughout the series, but with his cards that had been with him throughout the show. That on top of the emotional ride of it being the finale and it ending the way that it started with him vs Jack and figuring out what they wanna do going forward made it a duel I'll never forget. Yusei vs Z-one was also pretty epic with Yusei 1-by-1 summoning all the Signer Dragons. But that finale was something else.
Really good list! Don't agree with every position but still lots of good choices! As for my favorite duels in all Yu-Gi-Oh! 1. Yusei vs Z-ONE: The appearance of every Signer Dragon, Quasar's summon and the gorgeous animation and voicework make it in my opinion the greatest duel 2. Jack, Rua and Ruka vs Aporia: Very similar reasons to yours, Rua's development and the scene where he becomes a signer is still in my opinion the greatest scene in Yu-Gi-Oh! I also really like the fact, that going in you expect that Rua and Ruka would be tossed moreso to the side and for this duel to be a Jack showoff, but the opposite is the truth 3. Z-ARC Vs Everyone: Controversial choice I know, and in terms of story telling this duel was utter garbage, not going to deny that. The plot they try and force into this duel is extremely boring and makes little to no sense, but in terms of dueling action, seeing Z-ARC perfectly master and counterattack his enemies at every turn, being able to perfectly outdo every single person who faces him, with the corrupted versions of their friend's ace dragons was so entertaining to me. As you know I'm also a Pendulum Magician/Z-ARC player, so seeing one of my favorite cards along with the Servant Dragons facing some of my favorite YGO characters ever like Jack, Shun and Edo was just so cool to me. Again, loved the list! Can't wait for more as always!
1:44 I still love this duel 3:00 I have to watch this Duel. and GX. 5:04 I think top 8 Should be my only reason to watch ZEXAL. either on dub (english or latin american dub) or in japanese sub eng. 5:49 Maybe i should watch 5D's in Latin american dub until the dark signers and then in japanese eng sub to finish the rest. just to see this duel 7:23 ...2° reason to finally watch ZEXAL. 8:57. I have watched up to episode 145 and i need to really finish for good the series thanks for this duel. 11:30 this and the final duel ill be my reasons to watch GX. 11:52. i really need to watch this one again. 13:25 I remember just bits, but totally loved it the bits i remember. 13:56 My reason to watch ARC-V. Kinda sad their best duel happens so early. what should that tell me from the series? what episodes were the ones invovled in that duel? 16:00 yusaku vs Akira= I still consider that duel my favorite. it was so good. ALSO rudger vs Yusei was good. (the other runner ups i have yet to see them) (Why the duel between Yusei and Jack at the end of season 1 isn't mentioned as honorable mention?) 17:11 I can't argue that. I also loved the Latin American Dub. i have to see the japanese version though.
Honorable mention: Jounochi(Joey) v. Yami Marik. Battle City Semifinals. Compared to the other duels on this list, this one isn't too flashy or have a lot of well timed combos. No, I believe this duel deserves an honorable mention for it's symbolism and importance to the story. And it all stems from the two duelists. On the one hand, we have Joey. Right as the story begins, chapter 1 of the manga, we learn that Joey is a bully, picking on Yugi pretty openly. Going as far as taking one of the pieces of the Millenium Puzzle and throwing it into the waters. Joey, along with Tristan(Honda) could've easily been the stock bully characters of the series. That is until a bigger bully, Ushio, beats them up and uses that to try and extort money from little Yugi. Despite the pain, despite the threats, Yugi ends up completing the puzzle except for one piece. When all hope seemed lost, the final piece arrives, delivered to Yugi's Grandpa by none other that Joey. All after Yugi protected him and Tristan from Ushio. Choosing to stand by them and take a beating, as their friends, rather than kick them while their down. It was here that Yugi solved the Millenium Puzzle, he was granted dark powers, but his deepest wish was granted. Something that can be seen, but can never be seen: Friendship. Since that incident, Yugi and Joey were pretty inseparable. From dealing with the jerks in high school life, to escaped convicts to the entirety of Death-T and the Millenium Enemy Arc. During these moments, Joey risked his life several times for Yugi. Including, but not limited to: Fighting a Bruce Lee impersonator where each had a knife in their mouth, blade inward so that if one of them got punched in the face, they were dead, participating in a Russian roulette game with food with Yugi and Mokuba(when he was malicious) and fighting an actual serial killer in a death match. Of course, this is mutual as Yugi protected Joey several times during the original series as well. Joey never HAD to go through most of it, but he CHOSE to, because he's Yugi's friend. Of course, the events of Duelist Kingdom and Battle City should also cement that. On the other hand, we have Marik. Who, after obtaining the power of the Millenium Rod, would awaken to the darkness within himself and brutally, mercilessly attack his father, skinning him alive. However, he was led to believe that it was the Pharaoh, Atem, his spirit who committed the act. This spurred a deep-seeted hatred for him. A hated that would remain for years. During Battle City, there were several attempts to take the Pharaoh's life and they all failed, even going as far as to involve Tea(Anzu) and Joey. For Marik, it didn't matter as long as the Pharaoh was dead. When Odion fell in the duel against Joey and Marik's other self was released, the torture for the characters began and the true villian finally appears, but it's also why I consider the duel between Joey and Marik as one of the greatest. Joey, the man who from the beginning couldn't stand Yugi. But after seeing his kind and strong spirit had a change of heart. It was because of him that Yugi's greatest wish was granted and the Pharaoh's spirit reemerged. He was Yugi's strength and Yugi was his kindness. The two grew together and would not be as great without each other. Marik, the man who's own darkness would birth a lingering hatred for the Pharaoh. One that could not be calmed. He only sought vengeance, to right the wrong he committed to himself. But, once his loyalest soldier, Odion, fell at the hands of the Yugi's loyalest friend, the stage was set. The man who wished to kill Yugi vs the man who would die for Yugi. It was a duel of conviction, of inner strength, a duel of character. A duel Joey was poised to win. All he needed was his final soldier, Gearfried, to attack and the ultimate enemy would fall. A simple high school bully, maturing to be a savior and honorable protector of royalty. A kid who at one point knew nothing about games (and was honestly horrible at them) to being able to stand the very top, with only one victory away from the title "Champion". From a simple low to a real hero. A man worthy of wielding's Ra's divine power. The very God closest in relation to the Pharaoh. For a brief moment, the 3 that would stand at the top of everyone would be the Pharaoh reborn (commanding Osiris), the CEO of the largest corporation and descendant of the High Priest Seto, Kaiba (wielding Obelisk), and the underdog turned savior Joey (protected by Ra). What a perfect, poetic ending to lead into the final arc. ((I̶t̶’̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶b̶a̶d̶ ̶J̶o̶e̶y̶ ̶f̶a̶i̶n̶t̶s̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶n̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶S̶h̶a̶d̶o̶w̶ ̶G̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶P̶h̶a̶r̶a̶o̶h̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶A̶G̶A̶I̶N̶.̶ ̶W̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶u̶n̶i̶t̶y̶.̶.)) ...I also probably missed stuff or got details wrong. If so, I'll correct it.
Kaiba's line during the final duel after Yugi destroy's the Egyptian Gods and Joey's response to it were priceless. Joey, "What Did Kaiba just admit he was wrong." Kaiba after failing to figure out how to take them out to see that little Yugi take them out by not directly attacking them.
My favourite duel of each series DM:yugi Vs atem Gx:judai Vs darkness 5d's:yusei Vs kiryu Zexal:kite Vs mizar Arc-v:yuya Vs Yuri Vrains:soulburner Vs revolver
I agree its like nobody likes it. For me personally that was the best duel in the GX. It was sooo intense,Judai almost seemed hopeless against Yubel until he let the Supreme King inside of him take over. And the fact that he fused with Yubel instead of ending her was soo amazing and heart warming to see.
sometimes it feels like it, but i read a lot of comments how underappreciated arc v really is, so we arent completely lonely :^) a lot of people liked it, until the final fight with evil yuya, it ruined it for a lot of people but i loved it... i also really liked how yuya dueled everyone at the end, as a good bye to his friends and to us (i especially liked gongenzakas duel, because he improved AGAIN by learning to use tactics from his enemy) also, reiji, jack and kite in the same yugioh show? come ooon, how can this not be your favorite?
man no love for the Kite vs Mizal duel on the moon. the desperation that kite had and the overwhelming power of neo galaxy-eyes taceyon (sp) dragon was Beautiful
Surprised Bakura didn't make it to the list! Every duel with him was bizarre and twisted especially the one with the Dark Sanctuary vs Yu-gi! Another memorable fight was the one that Yu-gi gets corrupted by the Seal of Orichalcos and gets DESTROYED by guardian eatos.. I'm also an Aki fanboy, enjoyed all her duels :p Great list man!
Yugioh Everything that was one of the hypest and pretty back and forth duel and we got more insight on both playmakers and revolvers psych as well as there backstory
Honestly I was feeling really nervous because it didn’t look like you were going to mention the Shun vs Sora duel (or Arc V in general) so I ended up yelling when you thankfully put it at Number 2. This duel is my favourite in all of Yugioh and gave me serious chills when I first watched it.
A few of my favourite duels in Yugioh Vrains would definitely have to be (in order): 5. Yusaku vs Go (round 2) 4. Spectre vs Lightning 3. Revolver vs Soulburner 2. Yusaku vs Ai 1. Yusaku vs Revolver (round 4)
My top duel is easily Yami Marik vs Jounouchi. That entire duel was insane with the stakes on the line, the emotions throughout, and the fact that a sub-main/joke character almost defeated the main villain just took the cake for me.
I really feel the entire duel between yusei and team unicorn should be on here, unicorn outsmarted the team only for yusei to completely use the same strategy near the end of the game and the tension of the whole duel really was played well, especially given that yusei almost did lose and one wrong word would have cost them the duel
For the Yugi vs Kaiba rematch, I also have to bring attention to the use of Joey’s Red Eyes Black Dragon as it ends up playing a crucial part in the duel itself, with Yugi summoning it when Kaiba was about to directly attack with his Blue Eyes, destroying one of the Blue Eyes and then powering up Yugi’s Dark Paladin. Sure you can say the card was played for sentimental purposes (such as waking up Joey) but it still had a role in the duel itself.
I agree with number 1. Their proper rematch was really anticipated for over 100 episodes and dialogue, backstory and card game aspect itself was amazing.
#10 Yugi Vs Pegasus (Ok, I see we're starting off with a classic Boss Duel) #9 Judai/Jaden Vs Yugi (Even though it ends on a cliffhanger, but I'm glad it happened) #8 Yuma & Shark/Nasch Vs Don Thousand (Alright, Alright. One of the best duels in ZeXal as #8? Smh I can rock with that lol.) #7 Aporia Vs Jack, Leo, & Luna (One Of if not the only best duel i've seen in that arc. A shame It never got dubbed, then again It was for the best.) #6 Yuma Vs Shark/Nasch (ODMG YEEEEEEEEES! HANDS DOWN BEST DUEL OF ALL TIME IN ZEXAL! To Me that Is. JAW LITERALLY DROPPED AFTER KNOWING THAT NEGATING THE ATK WAS A GOOD THING OTHERWISE IT WOULD'VE BEEN A DRAW!!! REEEEEEEE!!!) #5 Yugi Vs Atem (A major test to see who was the true "King Of Games". Even though it was Atem doing most of the winning, this was the moment for Yugi to really show us what he could do against the spirit of the pharaoh. Really impressed me on how he got rid of all three of the God Cards. Sayonara...Yami Yugi.) #4 Zane Vs Jesse (Yubel Possesed) (I can see why this duel would be on the list. Hell Kaiser was basically on the end of his rope, so why not go out in a blaze of glory.) #3 Yusei Vs Kalin (Can't really say that i'm fond of this due cause first time watching that duel in the dub I couldn't grasps how this duel transpired, but rewatching it helped out a bit. It showed me Yusei's first L and not to mess with an Earthbound Immortal.) #2 Shun Vs Sora (Now i'm just a simple guy, who just wanted to some Arc-V. This duel without a doubt blew everyone's mind with Sora's mood change. From cute stuffed animals to Toys with dangerous objects was definitly a red flag.) #1 Yugi Vs Kaiba (BC Semi-Finals) (I sat here and said to myself "Knowing Dylan, I know #1 Is going to be a duel from DM or GX" And Lord Behold, I was dead on, but the duel choice was nothing but pure epicness, Both God Cards killed each other only for the both of the to rely on their Ace Monsters to settle their ancient rivalry between Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician. What a thrill!) Geez bro, you made a long video, but this was the longest comment I made Lol. Now for my List. #5 Jack Vs Carly #4 Kaito Vs Mizael (Final) #3 Joey Vs Marik #2 Jaden vs Yubel (Final) #1 Zorc vs The World (Literally the future helps the past)
I actually tought for a second you would say the no.1 spot was Yusei vs Z-ONE xD Honorable mentions that should have been there: Yusei vs Zone Yusaku vs Revolver Tower of Hanoi (S1 finale) Yuya and Shun vs Tyler Sisters Kaito vs Mizael on the Moon (with Mizael's backstory) Marik vs Joey... or Mai? (The one where Ra blasts someone and almost kills someone) Dude... That piercing heart artifact always makes me shiver..; Shun's raidraptors are always so freaken awesome!
When Zane (in the dub) died I honestly freaked out as a kid since my name is Zane too and he was the first character in anything to share the same name as me. It really was a profound heartbreaker then cause after that story arc I never saw any new episodes and thought he stayed dead forever. That why the duel with Yubel Jessie vs. Zane was my favorite.
I was expecting yugi vs joey would be an honerable mention because ik theres some rule breaking but it was the fact that they where both dueling for a loved one is what makes it one of my favourite duels
My personal favourite ever was probably the final duel of dark side of dimensions between Yugi and Kaiba vs *the villain who's name I can't remember*. And I know that the whole movie was about moving on from Atem but come ON. Atem showing up, the original theme playing in an orchestra in the background and the fact that the villain's design is actually pretty grotesque, which they've tried to before but failed, just made this amazing, that's if movies count though...
Yugi: Anger and hatred should never be used as motivation!
Yusaku: Hi, I"m the new protagonist...
HAHA that's actually a pretty incredible point xD
crystalbreaker947 To be fair, Yugioh protagonists had zero mention of their parents until 5DS, and that was in the later half of the series. Yuma and Yuya's parents were shown or at least mentioned from episode one. And as for the victims' parents:
Yusaku: He's a protagonist so he kinda gets a free pass.
Jin: Shoichi never mentions their parents, so...I don't know.
Takeru: His grandparents told him that his parents died in a car accident. As if those 6 months of hell weren't bad enough, those were the some of the first news he got.
Specter: He was an orphan, so he gets a pass. And that sadistic son of a bitch liked the Lost Incident, be was like: "OH GOD YES, ELECTROCUTE ME HARDER!"
The most we've had for Yugi is a 1 sec clip of his mom
Jaden's parents were only shown in a photo on one of jaden's childhood flashbacks regarding the Yubel's backstory, and they only showed their bodies, not their faces (I think so it happened that way)
Mr.Fudo made appeareances in 5DS as spirit form and Mrs.Fudo was only shown in a picture, holding Yusei as a baby
Yuma's parents were supposed to be "traveling" around the world as paleonthologists or something like that, later it was revealed Mr.Tsukumo was "sent to the Astral world" implying he died in the expedition with Dr.Faker
Yuya's parents were shown since the beginning. His mom appearing since the very beginning, and Yuusho being his.. "adoptive father"? Who knows with the whole Z-ARC thing, time-space travel paradoxes... just bad scripting from Kensho Ono (at the end of the series)
We haven't had even a single clue from Yusaku's parents or relatives. Not even a photograph...
@@crystalbreaker947 We do see Yuma's parents physically in Astral World, but they never met Yuma while he was there for some reason. Given that Team Zexal can freely travel between worlds, Yuma would have probably met up with them again unless they traveled to another one.
Yeah, that's the whole point of Yusaku. He's the antithesis of all the other protags.
Better list than watch mojo
Is that hard though?
Watchmojo suck when it comes to picking anime related things

Lol but they do such thorough research!
My Top 5 duels
1. Yugi vs Kaiba
2. Yugi Muto vs Seto Kaiba
3. Yugi Muto, the king of card games vs Second Rate duelist Seto Kaiba
4. The kid with the spikey hair, who is known to be the world's most greatist duelist vs the rich spoiled orphan dude who sucks at a children's card game.
5. A japanese boy living with his old grandpa, who loves his friends and who also has an egyptian spirit living in his body, who is also the world's greatist player at a game made by an older white gay dude, who copied egyptian ancient games vs another japanese boy, who was left an orphan with his little brother, only to become the world's most rich person and who is also weak at playing a game desined for 10 year olds.
HAHA that was good xD
If this is so fitting to be an " evolution meme"
Honorable mentions:
My grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards vs screw the rules, I have money!
I'd just like to point out that Kaiba's no joke. People like to downplay him because he constantly loses to Yugi, but the only time he ever lost fair and square was against Dartz. Every other opponent either had Millenium Item hax or in Noah's case just flat out cheated.
Someone make an expanding brain meme out of this
Shun vs Dennis was such an awesome duel! Shun just exposing spies!!
That's one of my fav ones in Arc-V! It was like a sequel to the Sora one xD
I almost cried when Trapeze Magician died and Dennis yelled "TRAPEZE MAGICIAN!"...
OK not really, but still. He looked so sad when he realized the only way he could have a chance to win at that point was to reveal his true identity.
Kurosaki is just the best fucking character in Arc V.
except for the man Gongenzaka of course XD. jk, but I do like the man Gongenzaka a lot
If Only they didn't make it clear that Dennis is a spy from Academia :/

I may be biased since it’s my favourite deck but the Bakura vs Yugi to the end of the original series is and will probably always be my favourite. I felt that finally Bakura weren’t sidelined and truly showed how powerful he actually was, and even though he lost we got to see a creepy as hell deck which I loved.
On top off that this duel truly showed us how good Yugi was without the help of Atem.
great duels that arent here:
- Shark(Nasch) vs IV
- Jim vs Supreme King
- Judai vs prof.Cronos (season 4)
- Jonochi vs Marik
- Kite vs Mizael
- Yuya vs Reiji
Nasch vs IV was so intense it's one of my favorites
I'm shocked that kite Vs mizael isn't there it's my favourite duel from zexal
Jim vs Supreme King was actually so good cus he was so close to winning
I even thought IV was gonna win it, damn zexal's last arc was pretty good and unpredictible at some point
I feel like those 5ds WRGP duels arent getting enough credit , and that one of hem should ve made the list , either 5ds vs team unicorn , or 5ds vs team ragnarok .
My favorite of all time is yugi vs strings. It blew my mind as a kid, I didn't even know you could win duels like that.
Same dude.
Yeah, pretty much the same here.
I think my favorite duel had to be Hell Kaiser vs Johan or the Supreme King vs Jim. Season 3 was my favorite season out of gx and much darker with a lot of tension than season 4. I feel like season 3 characters that were introduced got the spotlight they deserved and season 4 tried to cope with the lack of screentime with the others ones. But regardless very nice list. I do love all of the duels you listed.
It's too bad S4 wasn't more fleshed out, b/c the concept for S4 was really enjoyed by me, but it was very quick !
I feel like season 3 really made it for me and season 4 while it was short was pretty nice. I feel like a lot of people miss season 3 since the changes of tone and character are heavily cut out. if you rewatch season 3 i feel like people will like gx a lot more.
I actually rewatched the Supreme King vs Jim duel today, and can definitely agree on that one.
Jim is waaay underrated
Season 3 was so dark and the characters were really developed. Yubel was such a great villain as well. Not to mention the badass Zane vs Evil Jesse which was by far one of the best duels of GX!
I think the best Arc - V duel was Yuuya vs Jack, second match. It was simply incredible, the best version of two rivals, a large fight and a very good end.
Nummber 3: Yuma vs Astral
A great Duel showing how far Yuma has come and him relerning to have fun while Dueling.
Nummber 2: Zane vs Jaiden
(There 2 Rematch )
A action filled duel with multipile combos in it plus showing that Jaiden still has a long way to go.
Nummber 1: Atem vs Yugi
One of the best Duels in the Series history in my opinion.
Not only did we see Yugi taking out all Egyptian Gods but also Dark Magican and a great finish to both of the Charakters arcs.
Great list Jack! A very solid Top 3!
Yuma was awesome
mine is definitely team 5ds v team ragnarok, i absolutly loved that match, from jack and dragon's past, crow and brave's similarities to yusei's use of both saver star and shooting star dragon to beat harald's three turn insta win, it was so good
that and i love norse mythology
That is an amazing duel! One of my favs from 5Ds! The way Yusei wins is awesome
Yusei's duels are usually my favorites.
Yusei does have some incredible duels!
What about Yusaku's?
@Aporia Yakuza Aporia you're just saying that you're in 3 of them.
@@hack9210 yea i thought he will put playmaker vs A.I but he didnt put it what a sahme!
Lazar Stevanovic That wasn’t that good.
I hate how Atem always gets the credit for the play that "beat" Judai, because Yugi had made all the set up for it. ☺
I think Yugi did atems job. Like you know how atem did most of the work well in the Yugi vs Jaden duel. Yugi did most of the work
Poor yugi. He never gets any respect
@@bleachisgoodforurhealth9946 But Judai won the duel with Honest in his hand
@@mawile2468 I'm pretty much sure Atem won the duel
@@bleachisgoodforurhealth9946 Judai would've used Honest's effect to gain Slifer's attack points. They didn't show the ending purposely just to leave us to speculate.
The weakest card in yugi’s deck was mushroom man xD
I HAD FREAKING MUSHROOM MAN WHEN I BEAT YOU!
*YOU MEAN TO TELL ME HE WIELDED THE ALMIGHTY MUSHROOM MAN, A BEING MORE POWERFUL THAN EXODIA?*
*YOU WERE BEATEN BY SOMEONE WHO CHOSE TO PUT MUSHROOM MAN ON HIS DECK*
I beat a blue eyes deck with mushroom man lol
Honestly i would have picked Yusey vs Z-ONE for the first place, for many things. It just gives me chills thinking of all that is at stake in that duel, all those lives endangered, the present and the future at risk, a fight for two radically different ideals, and not just that. The creepy vibe i get every time from the dramatic chorus in the background, the setting under the Arc Cradle.
Yugi vs Kaiba was good, but it was just so that one of them could get the King of Games title
favourite from each show
yugioh: yugi vs atem
just a great duel over all showing yugis development over the entire show
GX: Supreme king vs jim
I always love when good characters turn evil it was great seeing judais new evil hero deck and see what hes become after what happened with bron
5Ds: Yusei vs jack
a great duel to finish the first season and yusei finally beating jack this remach was hyped up so well throughout and after that 'draw' the two had in the 4th episode it was great to finally see yusei proving he was the better duelest and proving what jack did was wrong
ZEXAL: Yuma and shark vs don thousand
I agree I really love how obsurd and crazy this duel got with all the crazy atk point and life point vaues
ARC V : didn't watch arc v
but it would probabky be the duel where he summons odd eyes raging dragon hands down the best summon in any yugioh show
VRAINS: yusaku vs revolver 4th round and revolver vs windy
revolver is my favourite vrains character and how he almost beat playmaker extra linking him and just crippling his hand was amazing beating him down I really though playmaker was gona loose.
revolver comes back after 25 episodes +, synchro summon, BEATS AN IGNUS and has a new look it was really great and the story in that duel was great learning what the ingnus were planning the destruction of the cyberse just great stuff.
please do best duelists except for protagonists, when vrains ends
I might do that list at some point! I think that would be fun, good suggestion!
Yugioh Everything what about Yusaku vs Revolver round 4 it's a amazing duel and but the only thing that annoyed me is decode talker, I still think firewall dragon is his ace but that monster pissed me off, yusaku vs spectre the duel was amazing and two victims of the lost incident battling, using akira as hostage is cheating, after his sacrifice this made yusaku angry and annihilated spectre, yuya vs yuri perhaps my opinion of the best duel in arc v, both English and Japanese version done a very good job for the duel, Yuri just cornered yuya, recklessly taunting him about Yusho and Yuzu, but he than obliterated Yuri, Yugi vs Marik this duel was really great all gods in the duel and a fantastic end of the best arcs, why didn't you add those four duels
Chaos of madness yeah decode talker really pissed it should have been firewall to have the finishing blow
yesss! do this
Gongenzaka for the win
Haha, #1, I called it!
Such a classic duel!
@@YugiohEverything I don’t think there is a single top 10 list that doesn’t include this duel. It has so much going for it. Main rivals, showdown of the titans, incredible back and forth action, amazing dueling and an incredible ending. It truly deserves to be #1. The only thing about the list I would change is adding the second duel between soul burner and revolver to it.
#7 should have been higher, but maybe that's just me liking Rua's development in this single duel xD Did not expect #3 being that high either. In the manga, the #1 duel was much shorter but the anime adaptation was really nice, so I do think it is up there! Definitely see why you made these picks though! My #1 is still sora vs shun, it was the high point of Arc-V.
That's a completely understandable #1! And yeah 7 was great, I have always just LOVED the Kiryu VS Yusei Round 1, but I mean there are so many amazing duels, it's tough to separate them when they are all this high quality!
Should i be worried ARC-V's highest point happens SOoooo early?
@@ianr.navahuber2195 Yes lol
I’d say Yuma vs Astral was one of the best duels. It was a chance for Yuma to show what he’d learnt from the person who taught him.
It was emotional as either way, Astral would have left Yuma after all the journeys they’d had together
Great list as always 👍🏻 mine :
10- Playmaker vs Akira
9- Yusie vs Zone
8- Yugi & Kaiba Vs Dartz
7- Yusie vs Jack (Fortune Cup)
6- Playmaker vs Revolver 43-46
5- Shun vs Sora
4- Yugi vs Kaiba the battle city
3- Zain vs Jesse ( Yubel)
2- Yuma & Astral & Nasch vs Don Thousand
1- Yuma vs Nasch
Honorable mentions :
Joey vs Marik - Jaden vs Aster round 1- Yusei vs kiryu- Kaito Vs Mizael the moon duel- Yuya Vs Yuri - Revolver vs Windy
Great list Mina!! We have a lot of similarities!
Yuma vs Nasch (final duel) right? Or which one, cause they dueled like 6 times
Super Saiyajin God King of Llamas yes the final
Two of my favorites are from the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Show, which is Yugi VS Noah, and Marik VS Joey. Both were incredibly emotional and action-packed in my opinion.
Nice list! Off the top of my head, the few I have are:
Aporia vs the twins and Jack
Yusei vs Z-One
Shun vs Sora Round 1
Shun vs Dennis
Supreme King vs Jim (Jim was awesome and underrated af, I miss him)
Jaden vs Zane Round 2
Joey vs Valon
Yugioh Everything: The number 1 best duel in all of Yugioh history is...
*Ad begins to play just before he says it*
Me: OH, YOU HACK! XD
I wasn’t the only one then
Great video!
Some of my favorites you didn’t mention are Jaden vs Yubel, Yuya vs Yuri, Playmaker vs Revolver round 4!
My favorite duel of all time has to be the final duel between Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas; a duel we knew we might not ever see happen again. The duel was so action packed with everyone bringing out their older Synchro Monsters that we haven't seen for quite some time. The fighting animation between Shooting Star Dragon and Red Nova Dragon was perhaps my favorite fight animation from the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! series. And the way it ended was so amazing; finishing it off with Junk Warrior attacking into Red Dragon Archfiend, which we only ever saw happen in the first opening of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. Junk Warrior was the one to start it all, and he was the one to end it all.
The_SynchroGuy you could argue junk warrior is his ace I mean it represents his deck perfectly
This is by far the best duel imo. I love how yusei decides to stay in the city and everyone else also finds his own way, because yusei inspired them all
Really great video, Dylan!
With so many great dues, I’m sure that it was extremely difficult to narrow it down to 10; you did a great job doing so!
One duel that I really enjoyed that was not mentioned was Vector vs Durbe and Mirage. This was probably one of Vector’s most savage moments, while also showing how well Barian’s can work together, without self destruction.
The first time I saw Sora vs Shun, I thought the show was going in the best direction it possibly could and that ARC-V just might end up being the strongest entry to the series. Had it continued like this, it certainly had a shot. I actually had a dissociative experience with that duel and momentarily didn't realize it was a Yugioh episode; it's that good.
there a couple of my favorites, but I still love Jack vs Carly (5d's), Crow vs Shun (Arc-V), and just fro the meme... Yugi vs Weevil (DM-Waking the dragons)
So hard so I do top 20 ! Yes I can:
20 - Mizael VS III and V, I almost feel it the brothers won, one card can change the situation. This is similar when I almost won in Mario Party because of Destiny space ! But thank Mizael survive or we have no famous Duel best dragon master.
19 - Yusei VS Aki ep 40 & 41, a best transition when Aki can control hers powers, accept to join with Signers and forgive his parents. This is only moment we have exchange between Yusei and Aki and their last duel before work together.
18 - Yuya VS Hokuto, the only best duel for Hokuto for me, I feel it he is powerful with XYZ and Yuya been confused, I'm laughing for the end, Am I the only one sorry for Hokuto ?
17 - Yugi VS Marik Battle City, the first duel I remember in my childhood, so intense and see Marik beats the dark side. Wow.
16 - Alito VS Girag, the famous Sacrifice, I know it's to short because we have to follow Vector VS Merag duel but the big point is the famous saddest moment I loose my husband Alito. I really cry everytime i watch. Not in top 5 because I choose about "Duel" mean action and good cards. But still good in emotions.
15 - Shark VS Kaito, the only duel beetween our rivals (choose your side lol) but the best moment is Shark ready to protect for Yuma, redeem himself.
14 - Valon VS Jonouchi, I know he does for Mai and fight Jonouchi before her but I imagine how much he suffered after all the violence moments. I'm really sorry for Valon.
13 - Playmaker VS Revolver ep 44-46, So much intense between main characters, we know the truth about ignis, past and so many things. The only best duel in Vrains for the moment.
12 - Aki VS Misty 60 - 61, both deck are awesome, one of my favourites Girls duels. And with Misty flashbacks is so sad. And the only episode we saw monster can eat human, rip Divine.
11 - Kaiba VS Noah, very very very long but Noah changes him to a stone. Thanks Yugi won and save everyone ! YEAH !
And Noah has great monsters too.
10 - Yuma & Kaito & Shark VS Dr. Faker, one of the best 3 VS 1 duel ! Better LDS trio VS Shun because Shark has bleeding and Kaito almost done after Photon strengh they continue to fight with Yuma. A very good work team.
9 - Kaiba VS Amelda, the last Amelda's duel, the best point is the exchange between duelists. I'm really interesting when they talk each other.
8 - Yuma VS Alito ep 129 & 130, the first Zexal duel I saw, the first episode I saw Alito and the first time I learn his flash back. It's so symbolic for me, the original soundtrack is wonderful too.
7 - Yusei VS Z-One, the best final duel between hero and antagonist, sorry better than Yuma and Shark (and Kaito) VS Don Thousand because: Only Kotori is here to cheer up not better if we have all Dragons from each Signer.
The end of Don Thousand is ridiculous he just say bye bye and we have Z-One last exchange and sacrafice for Yusei.
6 - Yugi VS Atem, how could I forget the saddest moment when Yugi cry even he win the duel, Atem leaving and everything ? Never forget.
5 - Yuzu VS Masumi ep 29, before we never see Masumi fighting again. So much actions and fun. A great evolution for Yuzu and a relationship is born with Masumi. Too bad LDS trio are not F***** back !
4 - Yusei VS Kiryu ep 33-35, the only duel when Yusei loose the duel and almost dead. I know how he feels after the moment with the Giant monster. Sure now I'm scared to fight again.
3 - Yuma VS Shark ep 141 - 143, I'm really impressive to saw all Number 100, Barians appeared with Nash. So much good moments here.
2 - Yusei VS Jack ep 152 - 154 The best last duel in Yugioh series, they find their own way. The last exchange before the separate but they still have link.
1 - Kaito VS Mizael ep 134 & 135, the only duel the winner died. Mizael doesn't believe about his past, Kaito died and give the card to him and Mizael is crying to see his rival saved him from Don Thousand dying.
Sorry for taking so long, it was difficult to choose the best of the best. Thanks for waiting.
Kirboo 97 good list 👍
Great list Kirboo! Really loved reading that!
Whos iii v and iv and girag
@@aurumofcyberelius III is Trey, V is Quinton, IV is Quattro, and Girag is the Big, Muscular Barian that brainwashed a lot of people. (These would be correct if you watch the dub)
We did see darkness in GX before. Seven stars, remember?
That's true, we saw him for a brief 3 second scene, but besides that he was always behind the scenes until he showed up at the very end
Yugioh Everything and we kept seeing him throughout the series, but in the background
Which epsiode??
GX did a lot of behind curtains foreshadowing, with the idea of Judai having hazy memories of his childhood, and other stuff, but the majority of this was for Judai, or bad guys. Also one of the few series that in the end says that Darkness isn't evil, but gray and light also isn't evil but gray, it all depends on who is using it. A beautiful change of pace that, it's never brought back...
While I loved most of these duels as well, 2 of my all time favorite duels actualy include Joey and Marik. Both their actual individual vs duel (which only gets minor points for Joey not actualy winning, as that would have been a great twist. Final villain not defeated by main protagonist. While the duel did show how far (in a very short time withoud aide of money, magic, past lives and god monsters and what not) has come, it would have been even more powerfull if Joey had actualy won. And the duel with Posessed by Marik Joey vs Yugi. was one of the most emotionaly tense duels in all of yugioh so far for me (for reference I am currently watching Arc V so I haven't seen everything yet). That duel was not good for my heart. But man was it a good one. To me these 2 where def part of the very best the original yugioh had to offer. I also really loved the duel between Nash and vector. And I also have a bit of a soft spot for the 3rd/4th place battle city duel between Seto and Joey, because again it shows how far Joey has come in such a short time with such a scrapped together deck. See his first duel with Seto, then compare to that one. World of difference. Joey seriously gets underestimated by the community sometimes. People tend to focus on statistics to determine how good a duelist is (like how many of their matches did they win). Which is flawed, as those statistics say nothing about WHO the characters faced and where they come from. joey lost quite some duels this is true, but considering where he started from, who he faced, how he is one of the few main characters in any of the yugioh series that did not in any way shape or form had outside help/shit tons of money/sponsors/magical abilities or powerups/magical or supernatural or powerfull items and or help/past life help/any prior experience with the game what so ever / no super monsters like god cards or numbers or any of that sort, didn't even have a deck that was very in sync with itself because Joey simply worked with a deck that was pulled together from scratch, and every strong card he got he won fair and square from different play style decks.. and somehow he kept up with the best of them all. Somehow he skill wise beats Marik, makes Seto work for it by the end, and is implied to have beaten Yami (he got his red eyes back, and Yami respects joey to much to lose on purpose just to return a card.). Joey is a serious underdog, even in the fandom. Statistics wise he isn't very high up. But when looking a little closer he's one of the best duelists in all of yugioh.
I adored the build up to Kaito vs Mizael. Like Mizael is one of my favorites in Zexal and his introduction to the series (since Gilag and Alit had been reduced to being less serious antagonists at that point) was incredible. Plus their rivalry was always noble to to see their final duel end the way it did had a lot of weight to it. One of my favorites in Zexal, but I like a lot of Zexal duels (Mihael vs Yuma, the sargasso duels, Thomas vs Ryoga, plus the ones you mentioned).
Also it doesn't make my top 10 but Yuzu's duels vs Masumi and her first d wheel duel were so fun to watch. I also wish we had gotten a proper fleshed out duel between Yuri and Yugo. It was too rushed for all the build up it had. At the very least Yuri vs Yuya was great because it was Kensho Ono vs Kensho Ono.
I think these are my top 10 dual for now:
10. Dr. Faker vs Yuma, Shark and Kite
9. Dennis vs Shun
8. Yugi vs Kaiba Battle City
7. Sora vs Shun
6. Jaden vs Aster rematch
5. Yusei vs Kalin rematch
4. Yusei vs Jack Fortune cup
3. Yuma vs Vetro
2. Tie between Yugo vs Serena and final dual Yuma vs Nash
1. Jaden vs Dimitri
Honorable mention: Jaden vs Dr. Banner, Leo and Luna vs Devack, Noah vs Yugi, and Yuma vs Trey
Nice list! Jaden VS Dimitri is def a really unique top duel! It was cool to see a Yugi impersonator xD
I definitely agree with the top spot - the episode in particular where it’s essentially Slifer vs Obelisk is so fun to watch. The amount of back and forth they had with Slifer’s attack power was brilliant
What about Yugi, Jayden & Yusei vs Paradox in the movie 'Bonds beyond Time'
You included a lot of duels with insane mechanics going on such as Aporia vs Jack/Luna/Leo and the Don Thousand duel and I really wasn't a fan of those. I preferred the smaller scale but still impactful duels. In no particular order:
From Arc-V: Shun vs Sora because not only does it feel really technically good but also we go in thinking Sora is a good guy and rooting for him to beat Shun but at the end we're kinda glad Shun won or at least not sure who to root for.
From Duel Monsters: Both of the Yugi/Yami vs Rafael duels, I felt the first one where Rafael revealed the darkness within was incredibly important because the protagonist lost that late into the show in such an important scene. Also we got the shocking revelation that the heart of the cards failed Yugi for once. Also from Duel Monsters I pick Valon vs Joey because it was so unique.
From GX: Jaden and Jesse vs Fujiwara. Not really sure why but I just thought the teamwork they displayed was incredible and Jaden and Jesse were some of my favourite characters in yugioh. Also from GX I think in season 4, Cyrus vs the Jinzo player i forget the name of because it shows he is inheriting Zane's legacy and really growing into his own as a duellist and as a character.
From 5Ds: Team Ragnarok vs Team 5Ds I thought was an incredible duel due to the sheer odds not just Yusei but the entire team managed to over come, every member of team 5Ds played exceptionally and it was brilliant. Also the Nordic Gods are some of my favourite boss monsters.
From Zexal: IV vs Nasche/Shark in his barian emperor form. Purely because it was such a change from the first time we saw them, where IV was the antogonist and shark the hero we wanted to win changing over to becoming IV. But also because the hero lost, which is rare at that stage. Zexal in my opinion had some of the best side characters and this duel just exemplified this in my mind. The fact that IV felt they were in fact old friends in this game stood out to me. An honourable mention in this would also be any duel with Mizar, I thought he was an epic character. His duels with Kaito, III and V were incredible.
From Vrains: Go vs Revolver because it showed me how skilled Go really was that he could stand up to revolver, but also in an almost nostalgic sense because it was the last time we see Go as a hero. Final duel was also from Vrains, Yusaku vs Spectre. First time we saw another lost incident child and it really hit home how good the lost children had become at the game, Spectre defeated Blue Angel with almost no difficulty and broke her mentally but he was in term broken by playmaker. His rage right at the end of the duel when his ace was destroyed ultimately caused him to lose the game. It also gave a completely different perspective on the lost incident from someone who viewed it as a salvation.
Here's my top 10 best duels in yu-gi-oh, but also the best battles/conflicts in anime so far:
10 - Judai Vs Tenis guy. This duel brings the topic of women being treated as objects by having the tennis guy putting her as the reward. It makes opens your eyes.
9 - Yuma Vs Tomato guy. This one also brings topics for debate, it talks about how people get so fixated over the things they love and this leads to them becoming blind to reallity and even becoming extremists.
8 - Asuka Vs 3 random fusion dimension guys. Oh, the dangers of patriotism and blindness towards the government. This almos feels like 1984.
7 - Crow Vs Yeager. Not every duel has to be smart to be good. This one brings what I like to call "cup noddle humor" something pretty similar to Monthy Python's humor.
6 - Yuya Vs Kachidoki round 2. The end of one of the greatest rivalries since Ash and Gary. The emotion of seeing Kachidoki's character arc coming to an end always breaks my heart and leaves me with a smile.
5 - Soulburner Vs Aoi. You see, at the end of the duel Aoi realizes that Takeru won because of his bond with an Ai and this really makes you think about how we relly way too much on technology, this message becomes clear the moment he uses a card that blocks 300 or less effect damage. This is really specific, and you what else is? Ai's!
4 - Judai Vs Monkey Wheeler. When talking about nostalgia in yu-gi-oh, people might think about legacy characters or old concepts being brought back, but this duel is what the fans want. It makes you feel like a kid watching Duel Monsters again.
3 - Lancers vs Trio of random guys using the same strategies. Arc-V has this meta narrative about how the tcg players start using the same decks and same combos over and over again, taking out the fun of the game. These 10 dusels encapsulate that message.
2 - George Gore duels. I... I can't bring myself to write about them.
1 - Dylan Vs Reiji. This one was a rolleclaster of emotions. The best moment was when Dylan turned evil, it made you question who was the actual hero. And Reiji's dialogues were full of emotion, every line could mean both nothing and everything at the same time. And the conclusion... oh, man, nothing will ever top that.
HAHAHA love the top one Vinicius! Great list!
When I started reading this comment: This has got to be a meme.
When I was reading the explanations: Okay, damn. This...actually sounds kinda deep. Maybe this comment is on to something.
When I read the number one pick: Okay, nevermind.
You have officially bamboozled me, good sir. *tips hat*
@@esteban8471
Hahahaha this kind of shitposting takes energy xD
Vinicius Walker Tennis guy? You mean Harrington Rosewood? The guy who went crazy jealous just because Jaden was talking to Alexis.
Watching this for the first time, four years after the upload, I'm surprised that you hadn't waited for VRAINS to conclude before making this list. I'm very curious to know where you would put Revolver vs Soulburner on this list, since you've said in past video that it is the best VRAINS duel and one of the best in Yu-Gi-Oh.
Been waiting on this one!! My top 10 are:
Honorable mention: Joey vs Bonz (DM S1)
10. Crowler vs Camula (GX S1)
09. Yugi, Jaden & Yusei vs Paradox (BBT)
08. Marik vs Bakura (DM S2)

05. Yusei vs Kalin Rematch (5Ds S2)
04. Yusei vs Akiza Rematch (5Ds S2)
03. Signers vs Goodwin (5Ds S2)
02. Yugi vs Strings (DM S2)
01. Yugi vs Kaiba (Castle-top) (DM S1)
Great list Ben!! Wow we have NONE in common! Goes to show how many good duels there are
Why Blue Angel vs Spectre?
I really like crowler ever since his duel with camula
@@cruz5531 Crowler stood up for someone he hates. Jaden!
A personal favourite duel of mine is Judai vs Bronn, Mad King of Dark World. The sheer balls that duel had to kill 4 of Judai's friends and cause 3 more to abandon him was insane. Bronn, more than Yubel was responsible for the Supreme King, which got Judai to kill 2 more friends. Bronn lost that duel but went so hard that Judai basically never recovered, and that makes it so incredibly memorable
Dylan vs Reiji isn’t Number 1? I’m disappointed. That was the best duel of ALL TIME!!
LOL I felt it would have been arrogant putting that on here xD
Right when he got to number one spot and add played really
@@YugiohEverything 10 spots aren't enough you should have done a 20 instead cause there are even more duels which disserve a place :) !!!!!
The only appropriate duel to be number 1 is yugi vs haga. (Cant remember his name in dub) even those who havent played yugioh for years. Remember this duel.
@@YugiohEverything are you ever gonna do a duel like that again.
Can agree with this list! And that thumbnail is sick dude! As for me, I’m actually a little surprised that the final duel between Reiji and Yuya at the end of Arc-V wasn’t on the list. And Yugi vs Kaiba deservedly takes the number one spot!
You did a great job with this list love listening to your voice awsome 😆 😇 😁 👍
I have to agree with you, Dylan, on your number one. My dad, sister, and I just watched this duel, as we're re-watching the Duel Monsters series. I had forgotten just how intense that duel was, until we re-watched it last night. For sure the best duel ever, along with Yugi vs. Atem, another favorite.

1. Jack, Leo, & Luna vs Aporia
Yeah...your right....this is NOT an easy list to make in the slightest.....cuz throughout Yu-Gi-Oh's history there has been a lot of fantastic duels in each series.
Nice choice for number # 1! I can’t make a top ten list for myself but some of my favorites were the fortune cup diuel in 5-d’s because it was just fun and intense and it had baclstory and showed development to Jack. I also liked the two duels between Kiryu and Yusei in season 1 because of the backstory and Kiryuwas a great character. I also liked Aki vs Yusei because you were rooting for Yusei to get through to Aki. I also liked the first are-match between Manjoume and Judai (after Manjoume returned to the school in his black get-up after being missing for weeks) because it was badass and gave good development to Manjoume. I also liked the rooftop duel between Kaiba and Yugi because it was badass and I liked the twist at the end. Some other great duels are the duels that Edo took part in. These duels handled his character development was amazing and the circumsfrom handing Zane his very first defeat, being one of the only three duelists to beat Jaden, an epic tag duel with Sartorious, and sacerficing himself to save a girl he hardly knew.
Well, I hoped you enjoyed my long wall of text.
Yuma vs vector > Yuma and shark vs don thousand
Dark Zexal was pretty awesome, that's def one of my more favorite Zexal duels
Yuma vs Vector was just spine tingling. From Vector's plot twist to Dark Zexal, ending with a new Zexal form and one of my favorite Utopia forms.
Red Archus and his Vector’s face was even creepier than Sora in Arc-V
My persona top 3 are
1. Yusei vs Jack Final duel of 5DS - Yusei's finishing blow with his good old trusty Junk Warrior always gives me chills
2. Atem vs Yugi - This duel just had so many wow factors. All 3 Egyptian Gods were summoned and Yugi managed to defeat them all. And they didn't lose momentum and immediately kept dueling between Black Magician vs Silent level up deck. And finally the sealing of Monster Reborn in Gold Sarcophagus as an emotional farewell message saying that the dead should move onto the afterlife.
3. Judai vs Crowler Graduation duel of GX - absolutely amazing duel that ends the same way their first ever duel in the first episode ended. It showed not only Judai's growth but also Crowler's growth and development from mean ass teacher to really great mentor.
My favorite duel was Yugi vs Strings
By far my favorite duel is the one between team 5D's and team Taiyo during the world prix in season 2.
This is a duel thats usually forgotten since as far as story relevance goes its really just "that team they fought before ragnarok" but honestly it gets way to little credit.
Team Taiyo were my favorite characters in the series because they were just some guys, not destined to save the world or wanting to destroy it or anything in between. They were just some guys with a dream that tried really hard to succeed, They dont get to much backstory but what we do get says enough.
The duel itself was also unlike any other in the series because nothing happens for the most part. Taiyo does not but stall with some weak normal monsters and outdated trap cards, the reason being that they just dont have any good cards. It honestly gets kinda boring and the crowd even starts heckeling against them. Of course they were playing up to something which i wont spoil ( even if the show warns us before hand) but it ends in a really cool way and by the end seeing them being so happy despite losing is just an incredible sight.
Its so sad that such a well done and unique duel ends up being forgotten due to a lack of story relevance and the characters just leaving as soon as they came.
You can see it in 5D's episode 119-121 although i also recommend watching episode 118.
1. Yu-gi vs yami yugi
2.yugi vs jaden
3. Yusei vs zone
4. Yusei vs jack the ending of five ds
5. Yuma vs Don 1000
you definitely got #1 correct. nicely done
i really loved Joey vs Valon in the orichalcos arc, second best duel in duel monsters imo
Honestly my personal favorites are Jaden and Jesse vs Yubel and fujiwara and most of crows duels seriously i think i luv crow to much i am FUSTRATED i dont have him in duel links yet 😠.But other favorites are the ending duels in each series like jaden vs darkness,yusei vs zone,yuma vs shark they just feel so emotional especially with the music the only one im not counting is arc v cause i dont even need to say anything about that ending Seriously Zexal pulled a dragonball why can't Arc V . Imma just say the my duels from each series. Yugi vs kaiba at the tournament especially seeing kaibas face 😱😨😰😂😂😂 for Gx :Jaden and Jesse vs Yubel it was a grand debut vs rainbow dragon and having jaden realize who yubel is,5ds:any duel that involves crow is automatically awesome,Zexal :the yuma vs shark end duel it was like a rivalry bromance duel,Arc V:yuya vs gong seriously i loved that duel we all need a gong as our friend,Vrains currently the duel where ai goes playmakers size to save him from falling seriously what episode was that again.Wow i really type a lot 😂
Video Game Fighter do u know how to get him
@@dantemitsoyu977 yep thats wjy its infurating
I would put the series finale of 5Ds, Yusei vs Jack, on the list, mainly because of the ending and how Yusei wins not with the evolutions of Stardust he acquired throughout the series, but with his cards that had been with him throughout the show. That on top of the emotional ride of it being the finale and it ending the way that it started with him vs Jack and figuring out what they wanna do going forward made it a duel I'll never forget.
Yusei vs Z-one was also pretty epic with Yusei 1-by-1 summoning all the Signer Dragons. But that finale was something else.
Really good list! Don't agree with every position but still lots of good choices! As for my favorite duels in all Yu-Gi-Oh!
1. Yusei vs Z-ONE: The appearance of every Signer Dragon, Quasar's summon and the gorgeous animation and voicework make it in my opinion the greatest duel
2. Jack, Rua and Ruka vs Aporia: Very similar reasons to yours, Rua's development and the scene where he becomes a signer is still in my opinion the greatest scene in Yu-Gi-Oh! I also really like the fact, that going in you expect that Rua and Ruka would be tossed moreso to the side and for this duel to be a Jack showoff, but the opposite is the truth
3. Z-ARC Vs Everyone: Controversial choice I know, and in terms of story telling this duel was utter garbage, not going to deny that. The plot they try and force into this duel is extremely boring and makes little to no sense, but in terms of dueling action, seeing Z-ARC perfectly master and counterattack his enemies at every turn, being able to perfectly outdo every single person who faces him, with the corrupted versions of their friend's ace dragons was so entertaining to me. As you know I'm also a Pendulum Magician/Z-ARC player, so seeing one of my favorite cards along with the Servant Dragons facing some of my favorite YGO characters ever like Jack, Shun and Edo was just so cool to me.
Again, loved the list! Can't wait for more as always!
Yusei Zone FUCKING BORING
This list through me for a loop with some unexpected picks fantastic video man
I may be in a minority with this, but I personally thought Jaden vs Crowler (The Rematch)
I really like kaito vs shun it just showed how strong kaito really is and when you think it’s all over kaito pulls of one of his best combos in arc v
1:44 I still love this duel
3:00 I have to watch this Duel. and GX.
5:04 I think top 8 Should be my only reason to watch ZEXAL. either on dub (english or latin american dub) or in japanese sub eng.
5:49 Maybe i should watch 5D's in Latin american dub until the dark signers and then in japanese eng sub to finish the rest. just to see this duel
7:23 ...2° reason to finally watch ZEXAL.
8:57. I have watched up to episode 145 and i need to really finish for good the series thanks for this duel.
11:30 this and the final duel ill be my reasons to watch GX.
11:52. i really need to watch this one again.
13:25 I remember just bits, but totally loved it the bits i remember.
13:56 My reason to watch ARC-V. Kinda sad their best duel happens so early. what should that tell me from the series? what episodes were the ones invovled in that duel?
16:00 yusaku vs Akira= I still consider that duel my favorite. it was so good.
ALSO rudger vs Yusei was good.
(the other runner ups i have yet to see them)
(Why the duel between Yusei and Jack at the end of season 1 isn't mentioned as honorable mention?)
17:11 I can't argue that. I also loved the Latin American Dub. i have to see the japanese version though.
Honorable mention: Jounochi(Joey) v. Yami Marik. Battle City Semifinals.
Compared to the other duels on this list, this one isn't too flashy or have a lot of well timed combos. No, I believe this duel deserves an honorable mention for it's symbolism and importance to the story. And it all stems from the two duelists.
On the one hand, we have Joey. Right as the story begins, chapter 1 of the manga, we learn that Joey is a bully, picking on Yugi pretty openly. Going as far as taking one of the pieces of the Millenium Puzzle and throwing it into the waters. Joey, along with Tristan(Honda) could've easily been the stock bully characters of the series. That is until a bigger bully, Ushio, beats them up and uses that to try and extort money from little Yugi. Despite the pain, despite the threats, Yugi ends up completing the puzzle except for one piece. When all hope seemed lost, the final piece arrives, delivered to Yugi's Grandpa by none other that Joey. All after Yugi protected him and Tristan from Ushio. Choosing to stand by them and take a beating, as their friends, rather than kick them while their down. It was here that Yugi solved the Millenium Puzzle, he was granted dark powers, but his deepest wish was granted. Something that can be seen, but can never be seen: Friendship.
Since that incident, Yugi and Joey were pretty inseparable. From dealing with the jerks in high school life, to escaped convicts to the entirety of Death-T and the Millenium Enemy Arc. During these moments, Joey risked his life several times for Yugi. Including, but not limited to: Fighting a Bruce Lee impersonator where each had a knife in their mouth, blade inward so that if one of them got punched in the face, they were dead, participating in a Russian roulette game with food with Yugi and Mokuba(when he was malicious) and fighting an actual serial killer in a death match. Of course, this is mutual as Yugi protected Joey several times during the original series as well. Joey never HAD to go through most of it, but he CHOSE to, because he's Yugi's friend. Of course, the events of Duelist Kingdom and Battle City should also cement that.
On the other hand, we have Marik. Who, after obtaining the power of the Millenium Rod, would awaken to the darkness within himself and brutally, mercilessly attack his father, skinning him alive. However, he was led to believe that it was the Pharaoh, Atem, his spirit who committed the act. This spurred a deep-seeted hatred for him. A hated that would remain for years. During Battle City, there were several attempts to take the Pharaoh's life and they all failed, even going as far as to involve Tea(Anzu) and Joey. For Marik, it didn't matter as long as the Pharaoh was dead. When Odion fell in the duel against Joey and Marik's other self was released, the torture for the characters began and the true villian finally appears, but it's also why I consider the duel between Joey and Marik as one of the greatest.
Joey, the man who from the beginning couldn't stand Yugi. But after seeing his kind and strong spirit had a change of heart. It was because of him that Yugi's greatest wish was granted and the Pharaoh's spirit reemerged. He was Yugi's strength and Yugi was his kindness. The two grew together and would not be as great without each other. Marik, the man who's own darkness would birth a lingering hatred for the Pharaoh. One that could not be calmed. He only sought vengeance, to right the wrong he committed to himself. But, once his loyalest soldier, Odion, fell at the hands of the Yugi's loyalest friend, the stage was set. The man who wished to kill Yugi vs the man who would die for Yugi. It was a duel of conviction, of inner strength, a duel of character. A duel Joey was poised to win. All he needed was his final soldier, Gearfried, to attack and the ultimate enemy would fall. A simple high school bully, maturing to be a savior and honorable protector of royalty. A kid who at one point knew nothing about games (and was honestly horrible at them) to being able to stand the very top, with only one victory away from the title "Champion". From a simple low to a real hero. A man worthy of wielding's Ra's divine power. The very God closest in relation to the Pharaoh. For a brief moment, the 3 that would stand at the top of everyone would be the Pharaoh reborn (commanding Osiris), the CEO of the largest corporation and descendant of the High Priest Seto, Kaiba (wielding Obelisk), and the underdog turned savior Joey (protected by Ra).
What a perfect, poetic ending to lead into the final arc.

...I also probably missed stuff or got details wrong. If so, I'll correct it.
Number 0: Thomas Rose wins regionals with burning abyss
LOL still can't believe that deck won, good for him!
@@YugiohEverything You mean he won nationals with burning abyss? Or did he win a regional?
Who?
Kaiba's line during the final duel after Yugi destroy's the Egyptian Gods and Joey's response to it were priceless. Joey, "What Did Kaiba just admit he was wrong." Kaiba after failing to figure out how to take them out to see that little Yugi take them out by not directly attacking them.
Zane vs Yubel controlled Jesse is so underrated
Interesting list. Wished to see Yuya VS Jack. That battle was so great. But great video overall.
no hanoi vs brave max? im disappointed
cx squad A man of culture, I see
I failed a lot of people by omitting that one
You're talking about a Knight Of Hanoi vs an imbecile!!!
@@hack9210 you do realize that the "imbecile" was the winner of the duel right?
@@jamesholden5587 And after that, he thought he was the greatest duelist of all, and Playmaker's sidekick. HE'S NEITHER!!!!
My favourite duel of each series
DM:yugi Vs atem
Gx:judai Vs darkness
5d's:yusei Vs kiryu
Zexal:kite Vs mizar
Arc-v:yuya Vs Yuri
Vrains:soulburner Vs revolver
How come the duel between Jaden and Yubel isn't on this?
I agree its like nobody likes it. For me personally that was the best duel in the GX. It was sooo intense,Judai almost seemed hopeless against Yubel until he let the Supreme King inside of him take over. And the fact that he fused with Yubel instead of ending her was soo amazing and heart warming to see.
Supreme KING it was so heartbreaking and it was the very best, I can't believe it hasn't made it onto the entire list
My top 5 (I havent watched anything past GX)
5. Joey vs Bandit Keith
4. Jaden vs Yugi
3. Syrus vs Zane
2. Yugi vs Kaiba (battle city)
1. Yugi vs Atem
wow... almost no love for arc v, not angry or disapointed, just kinda sad, bc arc v was my favorite :^]
You and me are the only ones who like Arc-V.
sometimes it feels like it, but i read a lot of comments how underappreciated arc v really is, so we arent completely lonely :^)
a lot of people liked it, until the final fight with evil yuya, it ruined it for a lot of people
but i loved it... i also really liked how yuya dueled everyone at the end, as a good bye to his friends and to us (i especially liked gongenzakas duel, because he improved AGAIN by learning to use tactics from his enemy)
also, reiji, jack and kite in the same yugioh show? come ooon, how can this not be your favorite?
@@tugaygunes4816 Who said Arc-V wasn't in my favorites?
Arc v is also my favourite
man no love for the Kite vs Mizal duel on the moon. the desperation that kite had and the overwhelming power of neo galaxy-eyes taceyon (sp) dragon was Beautiful
My third favorite duel in Zexal, definitely would make my Top 20! It's just hard cause there are so many good ones !
Where's Dartz vs Yugi and Kaiba?? That is my most favourite duel. He legit summons an infinite attack moster and you do him like that??
TheDiamondPro44 One of my favorite duels and my favorite arc right behind Battle City.
Surprised Bakura didn't make it to the list! Every duel with him was bizarre and twisted especially the one with the Dark Sanctuary vs Yu-gi!
Another memorable fight was the one that Yu-gi gets corrupted by the Seal of Orichalcos and gets DESTROYED by guardian eatos..
I'm also an Aki fanboy, enjoyed all her duels :p Great list man!
Playmaker vs Revolver 2 match deserve top 5
DECODO ENDO!
That was a really good duel! My 2nd favorite in VRAINS!
Yugioh Everything that was one of the hypest and pretty back and forth duel and we got more insight on both playmakers and revolvers psych as well as there backstory
i think round 4 is better but i like both alot
I totally agree. I cannot watch episode 41 and 42 without getting chills.
Filip Jovanovic That's Round 4. 2 is when he uses Firewall Dragon for the first time.
Honestly I was feeling really nervous because it didn’t look like you were going to mention the Shun vs Sora duel (or Arc V in general) so I ended up yelling when you thankfully put it at Number 2. This duel is my favourite in all of Yugioh and gave me serious chills when I first watched it.
LOL well I'm glad I came through for you! That duel is just incredible! =D
How can u not include Z-one duel :s
YAAAAAAAS! First duel between Shun VS Sora was really one of the best duels!!
I have a suggestion; worst draw spell cards.
Thats a topic not necessarily related to the series but here is your answer: happy coffin.
Definitely pot of greed many people say it's a draw card but nobody knows how it works!
Keyteck “what does pot of greed do?! Tell me!” Yugioh abridged
A few of my favourite duels in Yugioh Vrains would definitely have to be (in order):
5. Yusaku vs Go (round 2)
4. Spectre vs Lightning
3. Revolver vs Soulburner
2. Yusaku vs Ai
1. Yusaku vs Revolver (round 4)
My top duel is easily Yami Marik vs Jounouchi.
That entire duel was insane with the stakes on the line, the emotions throughout, and the fact that a sub-main/joke character almost defeated the main villain just took the cake for me.
Putting a mid roll ad right before #1. Well played
I really feel the entire duel between yusei and team unicorn should be on here, unicorn outsmarted the team only for yusei to completely use the same strategy near the end of the game and the tension of the whole duel really was played well, especially given that yusei almost did lose and one wrong word would have cost them the duel
Great list man. Yeah I loved Yugi vs Kaiba in battle City and to this day Kaiba’s my favorite Yugioh Rival, Jack comes close though.
For the Yugi vs Kaiba rematch, I also have to bring attention to the use of Joey’s Red Eyes Black Dragon as it ends up playing a crucial part in the duel itself, with Yugi summoning it when Kaiba was about to directly attack with his Blue Eyes, destroying one of the Blue Eyes and then powering up Yugi’s Dark Paladin.
Sure you can say the card was played for sentimental purposes (such as waking up Joey) but it still had a role in the duel itself.
I agree with number 1. Their proper rematch was really anticipated for over 100 episodes and dialogue, backstory and card game aspect itself was amazing.
It was an amazing duel! Glad you agree! :)
#10 Yugi Vs Pegasus (Ok, I see we're starting off with a classic Boss Duel)
#9 Judai/Jaden Vs Yugi (Even though it ends on a cliffhanger, but I'm glad it happened)
#8 Yuma & Shark/Nasch Vs Don Thousand (Alright, Alright. One of the best duels in ZeXal as #8? Smh I can rock with that lol.)
#7 Aporia Vs Jack, Leo, & Luna (One Of if not the only best duel i've seen in that arc. A shame It never got dubbed, then again It was for the best.)
#6 Yuma Vs Shark/Nasch (ODMG YEEEEEEEEES! HANDS DOWN BEST DUEL OF ALL TIME IN ZEXAL! To Me that Is. JAW LITERALLY DROPPED AFTER KNOWING THAT NEGATING THE ATK WAS A GOOD THING OTHERWISE IT WOULD'VE BEEN A DRAW!!! REEEEEEEE!!!)
#5 Yugi Vs Atem (A major test to see who was the true "King Of Games". Even though it was Atem doing most of the winning, this was the moment for Yugi to really show us what he could do against the spirit of the pharaoh. Really impressed me on how he got rid of all three of the God Cards. Sayonara...Yami Yugi.)
#4 Zane Vs Jesse (Yubel Possesed) (I can see why this duel would be on the list. Hell Kaiser was basically on the end of his rope, so why not go out in a blaze of glory.)
#3 Yusei Vs Kalin (Can't really say that i'm fond of this due cause first time watching that duel in the dub I couldn't grasps how this duel transpired, but rewatching it helped out a bit. It showed me Yusei's first L and not to mess with an Earthbound Immortal.)
#2 Shun Vs Sora (Now i'm just a simple guy, who just wanted to some Arc-V. This duel without a doubt blew everyone's mind with Sora's mood change. From cute stuffed animals to Toys with dangerous objects was definitly a red flag.)
#1 Yugi Vs Kaiba (BC Semi-Finals) (I sat here and said to myself "Knowing Dylan, I know #1 Is going to be a duel from DM or GX" And Lord Behold, I was dead on, but the duel choice was nothing but pure epicness, Both God Cards killed each other only for the both of the to rely on their Ace Monsters to settle their ancient rivalry between Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician. What a thrill!)
Geez bro, you made a long video, but this was the longest comment I made Lol. Now for my List.
#5 Jack Vs Carly
#4 Kaito Vs Mizael (Final)
#3 Joey Vs Marik
#2 Jaden vs Yubel (Final)
#1 Zorc vs The World (Literally the future helps the past)
best yugioh channel ever
I actually tought for a second you would say the no.1 spot was Yusei vs Z-ONE xD
Honorable mentions that should have been there:
Yusei vs Zone
Yusaku vs Revolver Tower of Hanoi (S1 finale)
Yuya and Shun vs Tyler Sisters
Kaito vs Mizael on the Moon (with Mizael's backstory)
Marik vs Joey... or Mai? (The one where Ra blasts someone and almost kills someone)
Dude... That piercing heart artifact always makes me shiver..; Shun's raidraptors are always so freaken awesome!
When Zane (in the dub) died I honestly freaked out as a kid since my name is Zane too and he was the first character in anything to share the same name as me. It really was a profound heartbreaker then cause after that story arc I never saw any new episodes and thought he stayed dead forever. That why the duel with Yubel Jessie vs. Zane was my favorite.
I was expecting Jack vs Yusei or Yusei vs Z-One, but the Duels you have listed are all good, so fair enough
No dartz v yugi? You left out the greatest duel ever bro!
That serpent with infinite attact points from darts.
The final duel in arc v between Declan and Yuya deserves a spot
I think the supreme king duel vs axel and jim should be here, it is so good :)
I was expecting yugi vs joey would be an honerable mention because ik theres some rule breaking but it was the fact that they where both dueling for a loved one is what makes it one of my favourite duels
My personal favourite ever was probably the final duel of dark side of dimensions between Yugi and Kaiba vs *the villain who's name I can't remember*. And I know that the whole movie was about moving on from Atem but come ON. Atem showing up, the original theme playing in an orchestra in the background and the fact that the villain's design is actually pretty grotesque, which they've tried to before but failed, just made this amazing, that's if movies count though...
I loved your poster of Death Parade, fantastic anime
Such a good anime!!! One of the best I have ever seen !
I'm surprised Marik vs Joey didn't get an honourable mention at the very least😂😂💔
