    In the first 2 seasons, Jaden was always smiling, to the point it was a shock whenever he didn't
    In season 4, he fakes smiles so people stop worrying.
    Also in the season 4 tag duel, I realized the reason he enjoys dueling AGAINST Alexis more than WITH her
    trauma.
    The last person he teamed up with was Jesse, who pretty much sacrificed himself.
    So when its someone he cares for that much, he fears a repeat, feeling the need to do everything in his power to protect them
    But when fighting said person, his brain just registers it as a duel between friends

    great video! we JUST watched GX for the first time through these past 2 months. we did seasons 1-2 dub, seasons 3-4 subbed.
    jaden's character progression is truly a beautiful, if sad, display of what is lost during the transition from childhood to adulthood. he goes from a carefree boy who only cares about his favorite game and hanging out with his friends, to becoming somewhat of a recluse, burdened by trauma, loss, and responsibility. it is bittersweet but incredibly relatable to anybody who has had to overcome traumas in their own lives.
    Jaden is a reminder that we are who we are *because* of the path we have walked; our actions and choices, but also the things that have happened to us, all make us who we are. we can't turn backwards, we can only ever keep moving forward in this life. old things lost but new things gained.
    for all of the chaotic, other-worldly, fantasy situations he falls into throughout the back half of that series, he feels like the most relatable protagonist of yu-gi-oh to me.

    • @LateNightStrawhat1
      @LateNightStrawhat1  28 дней назад +2

      I couldnt have said it better myself! Jaden represents the transition of kid to adult and its sad to see your childhood self die. But Jaden was able to rediscover his old self and carry that with him as he grows older. I think that is a beautiful message for kids transitioning to adulthood.

    Jaden growth was suppose to mirror the growth that their audience would have also lightly been goring thru in their lives. when you are young u r happy go lucky you know what's going on but not really. Season 3 showed that his actions had consequences and that he couldn't stubble his way thru life. also tackling depression. Season 4 shows a more mature jaden that understands he's responsibility to the world and and to stop the evils that only he can stop. He became a character he needed to be to save everyone. But part of being an adult is after you become the person you need to be then you can enjoy yourself and have fun again. But that fun comes after business. Jaden's journey parallels the experiences that all teenagers must go thru when learning to grow up.

    one thing i did sorta like about season 4 is that jaden just starts otking people because it feels like he's just fully out of patience and it honestly makes him feel like an actual threat rather than the sorta mary sue he felt like in the earlier seasons. the tag duel between tyranno/blair and jaden/alexis even shows this because he's with friends but ends up completely ignoring alexis outside of using her monster to help him otk tyranno and blair because that shows how done he is with it since season 1/2 jaden would never do that to his friends and it shows the effect that constantly being in life threatening situations would do to someone especially when they're just supposed to be a school kid

    Jaden is the greatest protagonist because, unlike any other protagonist he actually had to go through so much trauma without anyone helping him.
    His parents left him home alone all the time because of their jobs and since the people in his neighborhood were to afraid of him because of what Yubel did he didn’t have any friends either.
    So when he came to DA he was looking for a new start, with a happy-go-lucky personality and as the years in DA went and with all the threats he had to face and the way he handled the situations, no bat him a eye or thought about how he took all of this mentally.
    Season 3-4 and the best examples for that since it actually shows how much it did to his mental health and how little the friends he made really cared about how he took all of this.
    So yea Jaden is the best Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist, because of more than one reason, he went through more than any other protagonist, I mean he IS the only protagonist with NO loving parental figure.
    He is my fav😊😊😊😊💜💜💜

    Happy lated birthday and you're not the only one who loves Jaden as your favorite Yugioh Protagonist cuz Jaden is my all time #1 favorite Yugioh protagonist and character throughout the entire Yugioh franchise series. When I first saw him he reminded me of Sonic and Goku cuz of their nature and personality in the beginning but Kyo from the kof series because jaden had no interest in his studies like kyo who didn't had any interest in his studies. Fun fact Jaden's japanese voice actor KENN voiced Kronhen from KOF15. All honestly I love EVERYTHING about Jaden as a whole especially him developing in season 4 but it does hurts my hurt to see him suffer which he doesn't deserve it Jaden deserves happiness and love especially how he was in the beginning so I'm glad Yugi helped Jaden regain his love for dueling back and his purpose from the beginning I love him so much especially how hot handsome and attractive he is. I enjoy listening to Jaden and see him duel and all of these reasons why Jaden will forever be my all time #1 top favorite Yugioh protagonist and character

    My second favourite duel is jaden vs zane . Its kinda like yugi vs jaden first jaden trying to use his brain instead of his heart to duel also he was thinking so much that zane got upset and told him he is not himself then Jaden ate food and dueled with his heart and both had fun.🎉🎉
    First favourite duel is yugi vs jaden at series finale the fact that Jaden bumbed into him at he got his winged kuriboh and after three years see if he is worthy of it not only that it was also regain what he lost in these years the joy of dueling .
    Jaden has been up against world ending forces and not so fun duels also he lost his friend to yubel and tried to retrieve him only to lose his friends that have come along with him then to become the supreme king and do terrible things and fuse with yubel and think he was the cause of the unnatural activities so giving a resignation letter to Sheppard only to find evil. And batting with embodiment of darkness.also he was all alone at slifer red.
    So yeah Jaden has been through a lot hence he lost joy of dueling.
    Hence the duel with yugi was symbolic and needed. To go up against the king of games and not having pressure to win this duel or someone will die and have fun was something Jaden desperately wanted and he got it especially when Pharaoh came out and summoned slifer the sky dragon.
    Jaden going against the Egyptian god his dorm was based of on and yugi saying that Jaden was a duelist worthy of having a god as his opponent is just symbolic and beautiful. And jaden thanking yugi for helping him get back what he lost and final freeze frame of neos vs slifer is amazing.
    (Not to mention he excaped a falling building and threw the motorcycle into the ocean in season 4 jaden was a badass)

    I think I relate to Jaden the most out of any protagonist because I too was a fun loving, easy going kid when I was younger but later on life got hard and I went through a lot of stuff which traumatized me as a result my demeanor and my view on life changed. I suffered from depression a lot and still do to an extent and didn't feel the same enjoyment out of life as I used to.
    Jaden also went through all of that and the arc of him trying to find himself again was quite inspirational for me, that maybe I too can get the same joy out of life as I used to.
    I also liked that even though Jaden got his love of dueling back he didn't completely revert back to his old self because there are some things in life you never heal from which is why he left his friends without saying goodbye, didn't even attend the ceremony.
    I feel Jaden as a character and GX as a series are often overlooked and it deserves a lot more attention and praise. Thank you for making a video on my favorite protagonist.

    I agree but i feel like this is very hard to understand this point of GX just by having only the english dub. Even some comments here, show they dont either get gx or understand jaden. The sub without all the stupid jokes during the first 2 seasons make it very strong story wise. You can ask anyone and they will always say gx was only good during season 3, maybe 4, and season 1 and 2 are campy comedy trash. Season 1 is full of nonsense but it did carry some good moments like chazz proving himself to be jaden's rival, the message of how you can believe you have free will but no matter what if something is set by a higher power you cant run away from that outcome(something we actually challenged properly in season 2), which is why banner is sort of a failed version of jaden, they were both "alchemists" who could make miracles but he saw it in twisted way and after ruining himself he wanted to see if jaden would fall too. Thats why he tested him. And why after dying he stayed with him and he is sort of the deadbeat dad and jaden resents him but keeps him around. Season 2 also gets bad treatment but there is some great stuff, Jaden takes a back seat but everyone gets moments to grow, Syrus stands up to his brother which is wild considering he would crap himself thinking about talking to him, Phoenix also gets great moments from being the top guy to being nothing and trying to save his friend, and Chazz going from being the rebel clown to being the genex champ. Yes season 3 is goated and the best, but the duels and arguments of ideals i feel were better portrayed in the sub like the teacher with scar knight vs judai or amon vs edo(lowkey one of the best duels), and of course kaiser vs dark johan. But your analysis of Jaden was spot on, dont let the GX haters bring you down. Good stuff. You get a sub from me.

    Thank you whenever I hear people talk about the dubbed version of Jaden or GX in general it’s always just with a negative connotation attached to it. And I get the dubbed isn’t the best cause they did censor a lot and tone down or change quit a bit not to mention they never even finished dubbing the season but. The character development was there and it wasn’t bad. I feel like people often just disregard anything a dub does good because it’s not the subbed or it’s not the original so it’s therefore bad. But I love the dub for GX and I love Jaden it’s the version of the character I fell in love with and I’ve watched the sub and the differences people often point out are just so small and not picky.

    • @LateNightStrawhat1
      @LateNightStrawhat1  23 дня назад

      I couldnt agree more. The dub's script was hilarious, like watching it as an adult is shocking. I didnt notice all the jokes and adult humor when I was a kid. Its also 4th wall breaking which I think adds to the charm. I just think GX was the first yugioh series adults edited to be more appealing to adults and I love it.

    Whoa, does the dub treat The Supreme King as a diffwrent person than Jaden?? It's like, quite important that they're the same person, just diffsremt aapects. The Supreme King is the part of Jaden that sees the world in black and white, who is cold to everyone, as a way to shield himself. It's either O'brien or Jim who directly states (in the sub anyway) that he neefs to break through the Supreme King emotional shield to get throufh to Jaden.
    There are a few characters who talk as if they're different, but doing so upsets Jaden because they're *wrong*. What did the dub have Cyrus say in the final Yubel fight i have to wonder? Cause in Japanese, he says to Jaden that he needs to embracs both The Supreme King *and* his old self to become strong enough to beat Yubel!

    It took a "passionate duel" to restore his passion for dueling, I find this really iconic with Yugi despite his lack of screen time as the voice of reason to help those who reject their past or have conflict with it, it wouldn't surprise me if little Yugi, took up on archeology and came across artifacts that could aide in mending those who face difficulties with their past. Since his best friend, Atem was all about that, along with everyone he emcountered during his journey. Be they enemies to overcome or friends to win over.
    The match with Seto really highlighted this in battle city finals. As in Yugi's words he could have been better, but his constant neglect of his past holds him back.
