Its been awhile, but I remember laughing at how Jaden casually steamrolls through almost the entire season, outside of the last three duels. I loved that he was painfully aware that he was the main character and he ruined peoples lives by proxy.
I mean, even compared to the other 3 series of this show I've seen, I think GX might be the most chaotic. They all have their ancient magical BS to explain why card games decide the fate of the world, but GX feels like it has several different varieties that are barely connected to each other.
And gets you out of jail, which is why the prison guards are smart enough to confiscate your cards. And yet that somehow didn't stop prisoners from getting cards. Also the Zexal world literally revolves around a card that created it.
@@metanightmare4454not really gx was three cards that threatens the world like the god cards,a guy who wanted to make a cult,a yandere who wants to kill everyone to have the protag,and a manifestation of humanity demise 5ds had guys with giant duel monsters that threaten the world and machine gods that went to the past Zexal was more chaotic a guy wanting all the number cards because he was possessed by a evil emperor of aliens and a war between three dimensions to genocide each other with the fighting over a thing that made the universe
@AfifFarhati more of a joke than an actual comment. But Alexis suffers from being a female supporting character in early Yugioh syndrome. She's supposed to be this bad ass duelist on the level or close to Jaden and the other top teirs. But she has almost no duel feats and is usually a damsel for Jaden to save (but not always). My memory is vauge it's been a while since I've watched all of GX
@@optimus0 asuka(alexis) isn't so much a damsel aside from s2(when EVERYONE got mind controlled except judai(jaden) and sho(cyrus), and in s3, where literally all of judai's friends became damsels because he was rushing off to save his boyfriend and they forced themselves onto his quest and got captured as a result. Otherwise, she's just...kind of there.
"They didn't even try to translate this part" I like that the last duel was inconclusive, because it was the first duel in like 2 full seasons where the outcome very literally didn't matter
also, kind of funny that for everyone involved in that duel, it was just a fleeting dream due to the magic involved in it so when yugi and atem meet jaden again in bonds beyond time neither of them remember that they even had that duel doubling down on its insignificance. they do however remember the duel with paradox after its over, but thats more due to the time travel in that being done in a different way so they ended up remember the changes to the timeline that time for the same reason the rune eyes trio, the signers and the ones near the signers were not affected by the falsification of history; namely, yugi & atem where protected from the alteration by the millennium puzzle and judai was protected from it by "the gentle darkness"
Oh that’s not all. Another world filled with monsters(that Jaden conquers and use to genocide). Amazon Weretigers wanting nerds to fuck. Jaden having to fight a DIFFERENT Evil Darkness Incarnate! The cards he made as a kid became REAL ALIENS IN SPACE! So on and so forth!
One of my favorite things about this show is that there was literally a character who practiced drawing cards so much that he could draw any card he wanted from his deck. He wasn't cheating, and it wasn't the heart of the cards, he just practiced drawing cards so much that he could do that!
The funny or sad (depending on how you look at it) thing is that this is LITERALLY half the plot of the last season. Jaden stopped being able to have fun from playing the game because of the sheer amount of duels he, his friends or the ENTIRE WORLD was in danger if he didn't win. He literally had PTSD from PLAYING CARD GAMES
Also he rejected his main love interest in favor of Yubel, and let her inside him forever, then when Alexis was going to confess she just let him go away... Very fckd up.
@@coranbaker6401This was XTheDarkOne’s GX Abridged. It was very short lived but had some funnyass moments in it. It often dived into the insane plot points of some of the episodes
@@vickysterling3342 It was a large kid and a tiny that were bullied towards the start of S1. The tiny kid was smart duelist but no one took him seriously and the large kid was soft. At night, the big one would cover himself in jackets and defeat other opponents using the tiny guy’s strategies that he was telling him via radio
1:30 in the sub Jaden did not forget Yubel. His Parents had Jaden go though shock therapy to forget about her, so for all of Jaden's childhood he had no idea why his fellow kids did not want to hang out with him. Thats why he is so despite to join duel academy...... Jesus that's fucked up
Jesus christ, this is how they follow up their Egyptian magic monsters arc? And mind you the first season is just yugioh high school. Who hurt the writers?
I’m sorry is it for knowledge that Jaden‘s parents forced him to do that I feel like that’s something that they should’ve had CPS called on them for or at minimum Jaden should be furious with them

@@zacharyrollick6169 It doesn't help that 4Kids never dubbed the last season because it was too dark and weird. So you probably watched "the full thing" as it was available to you and the plot just...stopped before a conclusion.
Jaden: "There is no way i just FORGOT about a clingy demon that killed people for me." Crowler: "Oh of course not Jaden, you didnt forget." Jaden: "Oh. Okay then h-" Crowler: "Your parents submitted you to electric shock therapy to make you forget."

Imagine my sheer confusion as child with no cable TV, who used to only be able to watch reruns of this on my dentist's waiting room. One day Jaden and the boys were doing random shennanigans around the school, having duel lessons and stuff. On my next appointment I see Jayden is now an evil overlord in a castle and the new protagonist seems to be some dude who carries around AN ALIGATOR on his back
The episodes where the cult brainwash Jaden’s friends one by one haunted me for years because I never saw the episodes where they’re snapped out of it.
Yup, how most shows went for me as a kid with no cable too 😂 or when we had cable it be a few months and shows i return to things are seriously different and a bunch of weird stuff happened. For example in icarly they were all just friends and then suddenly freddy is dating sam and they got kidnapped for some reason and everything spencer makes catches on fire. Or for the avatar, aang was still searching for teachers then come back and he having nightmares about firelord ozai and is friends with zuko then suddenly there is airships and sokka may have accidentally murdered like 1k worth of men and aang took firelord ozais powers and he kissed katara who last i saw was pining for jet. And a ghost panda happened somewhere in there. But for the most part rarely had cable so i missed out on what happened in first yugioh, watched the start a lil bit and the whole pegasus thing and next thing i know we in yugioh zexal and then the one with motorcycles. But man i thought normal yugioh got weird with the forced puberty and the pharoh in me part and the battling to keep one soul, but this does sound extra crazy.
@@RandoGruntAh but it was too late! Jaden had launched Yubel into space thanks to Kaibacorp where the Evil Light drove her insane! Then she spent years having her being tortured sent psychically into Jadens head until his parents had his brain zapped so hard he doesn’t remember!

@@artemisfowldragon my brain has never recovered from watching every season and spin off of YGO ever since I was 9 but I’m gonna be honest it is the goofiest most silly series ever and if you never take it too seriously it becomes the coolest anime since cowboy bebop
I mean, technically he puts people to sleep by being around them, but that's the least messed up part about it. The most messed up part is the whole keeping a kid in an underground lab. The show is wild.
Wait what? So the GAYYYYYEEEST Man's childhood was underneath the Yu-Gi-Oh academy and possibly playing Yu-Gi-Oh? Disclaimer: when I said the Gayest Man, I am referring to an SCP number I don't remember since I barely remember three digits. And in SCP, the Gayest Man is basically what the comment said, a dude who can make people high with his very presence via something, idk maybe his pheromones was crack or something. He also referrers to himself as the Gayest Man alive, despite possibly not knowing what Gay actually meant. Oh and so you believe it's an SCP, he sometimes tells people to stop breathing because he had too many people following him, and they do it because they so far down the rabbit hole they will willingly stop breathing even when they pass out in an effort to please the Gayest Man.
Fun Fact: The vampire duelist had her own Castlevania-like theme, was a LEGIT vampire that appeared in a multiparter, was dueling to resurrect her kind, and when Jaden beat her, she turned to dust and died. The GX Sub was kind of effed up.
She did not just die she wagered her soul on Illusion Gate, a card that destroys all your opponents cards and then let you summon any card you want at the cost of you have to wager someone in the rooms soul so if you lose after playing Illusion gate that person has to go to hell. She beat Zane by wagering his brothers soul causing him to avoid winning to not send his brother to hell, but when she dueled Jaden he had been given half rock from the irl card Gravekeepers Assalient come to life (she was pretty hot) and the other half of the rock from the primary antagonist of season four that when combined protected Jaden and his friends from being wagered and then the rock was never seen or used again. Since she still wanted to play Illusion Gate despite Jaden and his friends being off limits she arrogantly wagered her own soul to pay the "cost" thinking she could win since she spied on Jaden to know every card in his deck however he plays a new never before seen monster to turn the tables and she claims he cheated but he just says he thought the monster would be good against her and added it to his deck before the duel and she had no counter play for it and loses and goes to hell.
Not even gonna mention the entire school having Mystery Sandwich Day where everyone gets random disgusting shit (allergies be damned) except theres one awesome sandwich and a kid is so unlucky he goes out in the jungle to learn to be luckier by drawing cards from a waterfall
Or how they straight up just keep a keep isolated in solitary confinement because his ESP or whatever is so powerful it puts everyone around him in a hypnotic trance in a radius. Also there's like at LEAST three different duel monster spirits just roaming the island and at least two of them are evil and have possessed students before
@@floricel_112Don’t forget that Jinzo is a real spirit that answers any and all calls by children looking to communicate with Duel Monster Spirits, and eats those children.
he is this friendly through season 3 and 4. One was overshadow by space hitler and eldrich horror love and the other was never dub . So Yeah, most people didn't see that.

That and Banner’s ghost is just, around, forever, inside of his cat. Like specifically inside of his cat’s stomach, pretty sure Jaden’s the only person that even knows Banner’s ghost was around at all frankly. Him and the cat, arguably not even the cat possibly, he just saw a glowing ball and ate it.
Also banner is a alchemist who made a homunculus body that falls apart after one duel so he hangs out as a ghost that's constantly getting eaten by his cat and in aformentioned duel, jaden debuts a fusion monster he uses all of three times because it sucks and after Banner dies, Jaden gets a Philosopher's Stone spell card (which banner was using as a bookmark in his Emerald Tablet which in this case was a book Banner was trapping everyone he defeats as a Shadow Rider in and it's his Shadow Charm) he uses all of once.
Jaden accidentally started New Game+ before finishing the story. This is why you double check the memory card currently in the system if you share it with family
Judai’s season 1-2 character becomes a lot different when you realize he was probably lonely since nobody would play with him after the whole yubel coma incidents, and the whole shock therapy as a kid.
It's entirely possible that the shock therapy is what caused his happy go lucky personality in the first place. He couldn't remember anything bad ever happening in his childhood so he kept that childlike innocence even after reaching high school. Once he does remember everything though he immediately changes and stays changes until the very end of the show.
1:07 I mean at least J didn’t get split into 4 then recombine himself and become one of the strongest duelist/dragon monster thing that almost destroyed the multiverse like ZARC
scrolled down here to bring up the electroshock therapy thing, glad to see the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom has not forgotten this very important lore. I do want to add that though the duel goes conveniently unresolved, the actual last scene of the series is Jaden in some desert (???) with his professor’s cat and his professor’s ghost, which is contained inside said cat. and yes, Yubel is still there as well. perfect set up for a wacky spin off series tbh.
Every YGO anime I've seen, in one sentence. Duel Monsters: Man dies in Egypt... becomes a twink. GX: Space Hitler regains memories lost to electricity by slaying vampires and beating up children. Arc-V: A dad gives his son TERRIBLE life advice-- the son proceeds to almost destroy the multiverse trying to live by it. VRAINS: Children are given PTSD via cardgame to spawn AI doppelgangers... main character uses his to cheat at Yu-Gi-Oh.
You're missing out by not seeing 5D's. Zexal is also surprisingly decent once you get past the annoying 10-15 episodes when Yuma is completely braindead.
5D's: Akira oops, no, gotta deal with Incan mythology and Illuminati oops, no, gotta waste time in anotjer tournament and time travel oops, no, gotta deal with cyborgs from the future that are *the worst* and messing with history. Also a western arc. Zexal: silly middle-schoolers love augmented reality, nonbinary ghostly twinks and extremely garish designs. Turns out heaven and hell are kinda sorta aliens, also life exists because a dragon cried. Also heterochromia in abundance. Sevens: in the not-too-distant future, a kid is fed up with stagnancy and fights back with house rules imposed on the system with a peculiar relic. Shenanigans happen constantly, eventually culminating in a giant robot fight in lunar orbit. Also lots of food. Go Rush: an alien soldier wants a path out of war, thinking card games could be the way to do it, despite not even knowing how to get cards _out_ of booster packs at first. Turns out all his people and those they fight were designed to fight forever, turning into T-shirts when they die, only to be recycled thru peculiar relics back to life. Also time loop? Also lots of cats.
You didn't even mention how Tyranno had one of his leg bones replaced by a dinosaur fossil Yeah, spaceosaurus wasn't the only weird thing about that guy
And *that’s* not only how he was immune to getting brainwashed by the Light, it’s also what lets him astral project into a spaceosaurus at the last possible minute. Dino DNA is a modern wonder.

Would you be surprised that there is a Yugioh series where angels and demons start a proxy war on earth in order to collect the pieces of the code that built the universe and that along the way, over 1 million people died including multiple children and main characters?
When Atem said "guess why I'm here right now" I'm surprised he didn't mention how they were only able to meet because the Pharaoh's children's trading cards sent Jaden back in time into a frozen-in-time pocket dimension and that's how he's able to able to meet and duel Yugi
Well you forgot bout the part where the embodiment of darkness shows up and captures the entire world expect for Jaden and they duel for the fate of the world
i mean considering an important thrust of s3 is how jaden/judai formed toxic friendships based on obligations of his strength, and how that leads to all his friends dying because of his crippling immaturity [and his obsessive attachment to the one friend, jesse/johan, until that point he didn't consider a burden in any sense], it is ironically probably the first actual relationship he forms [or rather repairs] in the series that actually features an equatable sense of give and take. which ya know, kinda goes to show how badly things in general have fucked up by that point. but hey, they get better!
@@overlordpichu5577It always gets me how GX actually recognized that Jaden's friendships were toxic and that having to constantly save them was emotionally draining, and then dealt with it in a mature way, it's something I really wasn't expecting while watching
i mean to be fair, season 1 also had a man trying to kill minors, said man also drugging minors with performance enhancers, attempted murder on an older man, a comatose 7 year old from being hit by a truck, and a boy coming back from america after his two previous friends thought he died in a car accident

Let’s not forget you and all your friends get trapped in another dimension that’s essentially hell, and Zane gets a heart attack because he became a masochist. This was brought on because he was played a card game with a buff preschooler in an iron cage deathmatch. Also a time traveler from a dystopian future tells you to follow him into the past so you can team up to fight masked maniac from a post-apocalyptic future who wants to destroy children’s card games, and who accomplishes this task by committing a terrorist attack in domino city and destroying Venice with a giant dragon.
why Venice specifically if they had the time and budget it would have been great if it was Duel Academy itself though at that point the main cast had graduated but they could have been having a reunion
In the undubbed season 4, Zane comes back. From having a heart attack. In another dimension. How? He washes up on the shore. No really, that's it. There's absolutely no further explanation or resolution. He's alive now and less evil, apparently. And the heart attack was due to his cards, not the electric shocks.

Honestly looking back the filler eps are so light hearted and fun I would have legit been happy if that was pretty much the whole show going into him becoming a pro dualist along the way that tried to overtake yugis legacy
About the cards from Outer Space: Let’s talk about the time Jaden somehow got his OC Yu-Gi-Oh cards sent into space by Seto Kaiba as a part of a contest. Cards which then manifested as actual fucking Duel Spirit Aliens. Duel Spirit Aliens which manifest as Force Ghosts that only he can see. Like some horrific schizophrenic episode. Which would be on brand considering the electroshock therapy his parents put him through. In order to erase the memories of Yubel. (Also, could be wrong. But I’m pretty sure Kaiba was doing that whole space thing to: 1. See if there’s alien life. 2. Teach them to Duel. 3. See how good they are at dueling.)
I think they only aired season 1 of Yugioh GX on Cartoon Network. It seemed like standard boarding school anime within the Yugioh universe at the time I watched it as a kid. Wtf is this really the plot? I thought it was going to just be about the new generation surpassing Yugi???

Also the before mentioned main character meets back up with her again later in the series and they end up getting married.
Eldritch horrors? Please, they’re just a 4 k beat stick that’s immune to card effects (that blue eyes ultimate dragon could beat by battle and is easier to get out) A gimmick card that gains power the more cards you have in your hand so bad to the point if you get him out at a decent time you literally have like 1 or no cards in your hand to do so so that a god damn beaver warrior could beat it And whatever the fuck ra is. (I’ve never figured out how exactly ra works) All of those “eldritch horrors” are so hard to get out that their counters are so easy to make so that if you go into any kind of official setting using the “Egyptian gods” you are not winning a single game.

Jokes aside, this is probably the best yugioh GX resume in youtube i have ever seen, and i say this with complete honesty, this is like the entire fucking show xD
Not the whole show. He left out Alexis’ brother, the Chazz’s whole arc, Bastion and his Amazonian tiger girlfriend he “duelled all night”, the *other* time Jaden shot his cards into space, the Duel Zombies, the Tarzan dude who could draw cards super well, Chumley and his totally not alcoholic dad, the stoner who’s imprisoned below the school or else his very presence gets everybody high, Crowler’s whole arc, Aster being raised by his father’s murderer known only as “The D”, Jesse and his celebrity impression cards, Axel and the Americans…
@@DuelaDent52 honestly out of that the ones that were truly important and were left out was only Jesse and nightshroud pretty much, but all of what you said were subplots, all the plot of the story was cramped and honestly shown here pretty well. (He also mentioned the cards in space briefly anyways) and most of what you said are minor stuff and very nitpicky, heck the fucking girl who wanted to bang zane and Jaden ends up having more relevancy than the stoner and I dont think she influences the story enough to be worth mentioning anyway
You forgot the part where the evil spirit was his boyfriend form another lifetime and how Jaden’s boyfriend from this life who used rainbow monsters got killed, AND all of Jaden’s friends get killed because he recklessly looking for boyfriend
That's not all. He missed the part where Jaden dueled the in-universe equivalent of a grim reaper that used his edgy bat wings as a duel disc and they had a card game with all of humanity at stake.
"Sounds pretty tight, dawg. Me? I come from a kickass school that teaches how to play card games. We sleep on warm, comfortable beds and have hot food served whenever we want. _Aaah._ It's a gooood life." "Well just look at all the f%♣︎◆s I give."
Iirc they also had a villain whose goal was "lemme just like.... Put everyone in the shadow realm cause y'all too fucking wild." Which Jaden had to once again beat the shit out of them in a card game
I was so pissed what happened to the vampires in this world. The lead villain received compassion, yet the vampire lady and her people got screwed over and recieved no compassion.
Don't forget the guy who can turn into a Spaceasaurus had an accident at an archaeological dig site and they had to replace the bone in his leg with a dinosaur fossil.
Nah Jaden's parents actually realized that their son was either CRAZY or something was actually putting his friends who beat him in a card game into a coma, so they put him into ELECTRO SHOCK THERAPY to force him to forget yubel
Yugioh GX was really the season they just went "Fuck it we're doing whatever" and just ran with it. Later seasons did some crazy stuff but tended to be more thematically grounded around a certain threat, series of threats, and such. But GX just had everything from evil vampires, to space aliens, to card genocide. shit was wild.
Don't forget about that one kid they have locked in the school's basement (to put it lightly), that they claim puts everyone to sleep if he plays card games. The ONE THING you come to this school to learn.
The best part, is it actually had nothing to do with playing card games. He just DID THAT SHIT, it was completely unrelated to any Dual Spirit stuff. Legit fucmifn SCP under the school.
@@zxshadowxz It may have been duel spirit related (it's unclear), but it's true he didn't have to actually play the game for the effect to kick in. His dialogue implies he's actually cool with it, which might explain why he's specifically imprisoned there: So long as he gets to duel occasionally, he doesn't try to escape.
I haven’t seen far enough into the show to meet him yet but from the comments I’ve seen above bro literally puts people to sleep by being near them. Dueling has nothing to do with it
Good on Yugi for not bringing up how that last duel is actually the 4th time they met after meeting outside the entry exams, then having Jaden fight an imposter Yugi and then time travel to fight younger Yugi. Also not bringing up Kaiba Man or the Evil but not Evil Ghost Cat Teacher
It's funny how tame the GX manga was compared to the anime. "Yep, there's this evil spirit from back during Atem's Pharoah days that's back again, he became the principal of the American dueling school, and he possesses people and can also possess people using these monster cards that represent the solar system." As strange as that might seem, that's completely feasible compared to the anime. (Also, the GX anime came first by the way. Basically all manga after Yugi's arc was created after their anime counterparts.)

@@gameuniverse5973 I'm kinda mixed on this. I see what you're saying with it being more its own thing, and frankly the retcon to the duel monsters being from a different dimension makes way more sense than Ancient Egypt.

@@darksideofevil13 I always saw that ancient Egypt just use magic to bind and pull the monsters from the other dimension to fight for them mainly the stone tabs and Millenium items We see that duel monsters can cross to the human dimension whatever they want so they always been around just that Egypt learn to use them for their own benefit
@@gameuniverse5973 That would make more sense. I thought they just magically created cyborgs and other things far beyond their comprehension and time....
I will always repeat it: Season 4 of GX was wild imagine a school student body isekai into a dark wasteland survival story as zombies plague spread thru everyone with the landmarks being the transported academia school frounds with the limited food resources and nothing. To then escape only to return to find that the isekai was actually a demonic ritual that summoned denizons across dimensions to use as sacrifice including humans, super humans, harpies, etc that feature in the card game. The best part is very person across dimensions are all similtaneously experiencing their own isekai survival narrative as everyone must traverse this vast barren land. Tags: isekai, zombie, survival, battle royal I need a series that does this without card games closest one i found is a manga: Mazumeshi Elf
In watching some of GX I think the bizarrest aspect is that no one seems to be phased by duel spirit, the out of place monsters in the world, traveling to the stars... the original series had everyone in shock and awe over anything that happened :P
If it helps, the current show has more credulity. It would kind of have to, with cat-people that are conflict-avoidant, 3-meter-tall women that are work-avoidant, floating hats that duel by just waving a deckbox at each other and then knowing who will win thru precognition, and Jersey Devil aliens from a Planet Jersey that are always dressed in jerseys. Also an immortal boy-king that turns whole planets to ice because he's that bad a mangaka.
My suggestion for a next video should be focused on Chazz. Namely that his brothers intended to rule the world through politics, business, and card games. Also the fact that he somehow survived being in the arctic by himself climbing glaciers, with nothing but his temperate-appropriate clothing, his wits, and an annoying yellow fucking goblin who refuses to wear anything but underwear in said arctic environment. And then proceeds to beat 50 fucking people in a row. And develops a sort of cult of personality in the process. And then in the next season where he literally joins a cult and proceeds to beat the entire academy... twice. And is still somehow not the best duelist at the academy next to Jaden.
Chazz is 1 of the 2 rival characters across every series to have 0 losses on screen. The only reason he isn't considered the best is because he was too busy being awesome, while Jaden was off saving the world for the 3rd time that week or something.

Don't forget that classic momment when the villian took the former of a character's father and took advantage of his survivor's guilt from the fact that he chose to save his dad instead of his mother in a car fire to leading him to realize he should have chose to die with both of them in the fire intends. Oh and the time chazz dressed up like an ojama
This is probably one of his many "kick Jaden out of Duel Academy" plans. He can't get Jaden expelled, but Crowler CAN make him leave of his own volition if he reveals his entire future to him. Jaden would be so thoroughly broken, that he'd never so much as pick up a trading card ever again!
Sad thing is the closest thing she had to a character arc (aside from her wanting to become a teacher in season 4) was missing her brother. And even then it's Jaden who duels and frees him. She also joined the society of light for a bit if that means anything.
Don’t forget that he saved the world from evil light by hiding and protecting an activation key for an ORBITAL LASER WEAPON. That’s like playing mtg for the nuclear launch codes
Yu-gi-oh: Started as a show about giving people PTSD and became a show about card games. Yu-gi-oh GX: Started as a show about card games and became a show about a guy getting PTSD.
This video gave me the idea of a series with really ludicrous lore which everyone takes seriously. Apart from one guy. That guy just randomly shows up sometimes and defeats people by pointing out how ludicrous everything is and then finishing them off by using a line like: "Go and defeat the light of evil and save mankind, Space Hitler." Which does so much psychic emotional damage they get knocked back like a bullet got shot through their head, while having one of those profuse anime nosebleeds.
Sounds like Ys. Adol Christin, the protag, is the chosen one. But not just the chosen one. He's the chosen one for multiple prophecies each located in a different continent. Stopped multiple potentially world ending calamities all within a mere seven years of traveling. Saves a blue haired girl every adventure. Can't pilot a boat without sinking it. Best friend punches hard and breaks walls like the Kool-Aid Man. It took like 7 games before one of his rivals breaks down and just shouts why HIM. AGAIN. WHY. No one even has an explanation and moves on to stop the next apocalypse beast of destruction. It's like if Link from Zelda was the same one dude in every game.
@@hyperweapon He just SHOWS UP, out of NOWHERE, slurping his CHOCCYMILK from his LITTLE MILK STIRRING TEASPOON, breaks your brain and then bloody LEAVES! Just like that!
I haven't seen RWBY, but from watchong hbomberguy's video, the character Crow looks like one of the nest characters because he's so bored and tired by of all the bullshit nonsense going on in the show in the most hilarious way
2:10 This is literally how the part against kaibaman who wanted jaden to chill because jaden was starting to get things to seriously went. Even though he has all the reasons to do so because he was currently in a war to prevent evil gods from being ressurected and a single mistake was basically a death sentence XD
Already imaging a 5Ds version of this. "Alright guys, we may have defeated the Dark Signers, but the battle against capitalism has just-" "Would you believe that we were just one bridge away from solving income inequality forever? Glad we never have to think about classism again!"
Okay, but all joking aside, the author of the Yu-Gi-Oh series died while trying to save someone from drowning. Whatever critique we may have about his work, the guy was a class act.
To be fair, Takahashi was only partially involved after Duel Monsters. And it shows, since unlike all the seasons from GX an onwards where the plot was secondary to the card game, the original manga put the story first. You could have replaced the cards with anything else and it would have worked just as well.
@@Justcallmeaqua420eh. 5ds is pretty consistently good. Zexal's first half is pretty bad but the second half is an absolute banger while Arc V has the opposite problem: very solid start but fumbles the ball really badly in the second half
@@floricel_112I think he meant by terrifying a league of guys who wanted to revive evil cards and machine gods Another dimension beings fight a war with each other with dragging earth into it A evil dragon god is split into four people then fused together to destroy all universes
For those of you who've never watched the show all of this is cannon btw, except the monkey working together with the vampire, the monkey was just preforming a prison break... also Kaiba named it Wheeler
Also these happend: - An episode where a student went into the wilderness and became Tarzan because he wanted to conquer RNG and always pick a good sandwich from the cafeteria, - An episode where Kaiba's Yu-gi-oh OC transported Jaden to the monster world and did have a duel with him, - Kaiba sent Duel Monster cards to space because he wanted aliens to learn Yu-gi-oh so he could beat them, - The entire school was stranded in another dimension where people were turned into Duel Zombies that infected other people by winning a children's card game, - The duel with the in-universe grim reaper called "Darkness" who used his bat wings as Duel Disc for the fate of humanity, Yeah, GX is crazy.

It's THE King of Games in the flesh!
My hero
Sup
Loved your stuff since I was in grade school!
Please remember Seto Kaiba launched a pack of cards into space so aliens can learn to play and spends his time dressed as a superhero call Kaibaman
I guess he really did screw the rules.
don't forget the cards were drawn by a 7 year old and gained life through the gentle darkness
@@DumbIdiotCombat He made his own rules.
And he, as Kaibaman, offs himself to summon his beloved white dragon with blue eyes.
And it fucking WORKED
Season 4 duels are a lot funnier when you realize Jaden is the equivalent of a war veteran playing football with grade schoolers.
I have killed so many people, everyones lives rest in my hands
Hey Jaden, wanna play go fish?
this has got to be the worst analogy of all time
“I’ve seen everyone die before me”
“Want play nerf”
@user-zn4sr1ll1cWell he did use Asuka's card...as fodder to power up his own lmao
Its been awhile, but I remember laughing at how Jaden casually steamrolls through almost the entire season, outside of the last three duels. I loved that he was painfully aware that he was the main character and he ruined peoples lives by proxy.
I mean, in a world where card games decide if you go to jail or not, most people have to learn to put up with random bullshit happening.
I mean, even compared to the other 3 series of this show I've seen, I think GX might be the most chaotic. They all have their ancient magical BS to explain why card games decide the fate of the world, but GX feels like it has several different varieties that are barely connected to each other.
And gets you out of jail, which is why the prison guards are smart enough to confiscate your cards. And yet that somehow didn't stop prisoners from getting cards.
Also the Zexal world literally revolves around a card that created it.
@@metanightmare4454 Nah my money on card game on motorcycle as number one entertainment in post apocalyptic anti utopian world
Not only that, in Zexal a guy stole a bank winning a duel against the alarm of the store
@@metanightmare4454not really gx was three cards that threatens the world like the god cards,a guy who wanted to make a cult,a yandere who wants to kill everyone to have the protag,and a manifestation of humanity demise
5ds had guys with giant duel monsters that threaten the world and machine gods that went to the past
Zexal was more chaotic a guy wanting all the number cards because he was possessed by a evil emperor of aliens and a war between three dimensions to genocide each other with the fighting over a thing that made the universe
The fact that Alexis is shown in multiple of Jaden's frames and isn't introduced is peak Alexis.
why? i forgot the show...
@AfifFarhati more of a joke than an actual comment. But Alexis suffers from being a female supporting character in early Yugioh syndrome. She's supposed to be this bad ass duelist on the level or close to Jaden and the other top teirs. But she has almost no duel feats and is usually a damsel for Jaden to save (but not always). My memory is vauge it's been a while since I've watched all of GX
better than misawa, who doesn't show up at ALL.
@@optimus0 asuka(alexis) isn't so much a damsel aside from s2(when EVERYONE got mind controlled except judai(jaden) and sho(cyrus), and in s3, where literally all of judai's friends became damsels because he was rushing off to save his boyfriend and they forced themselves onto his quest and got captured as a result.
Otherwise, she's just...kind of there.
@@optimus0 got it , thanks!
"They didn't even try to translate this part"
I like that the last duel was inconclusive, because it was the first duel in like 2 full seasons where the outcome very literally didn't matter
Even an abridged joke vid doesnt address the plot of the last season 🤣
@tvftw1 Agreed. The duel's significance came from its insignificance.
@@WHYvernmaster it's actually a pretty cool idea, in a way
also, kind of funny that for everyone involved in that duel, it was just a fleeting dream due to the magic involved in it so when yugi and atem meet jaden again in bonds beyond time neither of them remember that they even had that duel doubling down on its insignificance.
they do however remember the duel with paradox after its over, but thats more due to the time travel in that being done in a different way so they ended up remember the changes to the timeline that time for the same reason the rune eyes trio, the signers and the ones near the signers were not affected by the falsification of history; namely, yugi & atem where protected from the alteration by the millennium puzzle and judai was protected from it by "the gentle darkness"
@@WHYvernmaster which is also what the case was for the Kaibaman duel
Evil vampires, normal chimps, space dinosaurs, and a war criminal, wow they really got all their bases covered.
Just jojo
@@A_walking_contradictionoh my gosh it is
That was no normal chimp, it was trained to be the third best duelist and if it weren't for its forth rate deck it would've won!
Oh that’s not all. Another world filled with monsters(that Jaden conquers and use to genocide).
Amazon Weretigers wanting nerds to fuck.
Jaden having to fight a DIFFERENT Evil Darkness Incarnate!
The cards he made as a kid became REAL ALIENS IN SPACE!
So on and so forth!
@@GenesisAkaG Well Jojo's has a non normal orangutan who can control a dingy to be a huge ship. So I guess they're even
One of my favorite things about this show is that there was literally a character who practiced drawing cards so much that he could draw any card he wanted from his deck. He wasn't cheating, and it wasn't the heart of the cards, he just practiced drawing cards so much that he could do that!
That doesn't make any sense.
@@darksideofevil13Nothing in YuGiOh! makes sense.
"I can draw the card I want like a magician but it isn't cheating bro, I swear"
@@darksideofevil13 It's card muscles bro.
I've got abnormally good luck with dice, and I always like to tell people it is skill.
The funny or sad (depending on how you look at it) thing is that this is LITERALLY half the plot of the last season. Jaden stopped being able to have fun from playing the game because of the sheer amount of duels he, his friends or the ENTIRE WORLD was in danger if he didn't win. He literally had PTSD from PLAYING CARD GAMES
And said genocides.
Also he rejected his main love interest in favor of Yubel, and let her inside him forever, then when Alexis was going to confess she just let him go away... Very fckd up.
@@michellefernandez3155damn
PTSD from card games tends to happen to a lot of YuGiOh protagonists to be honest.

@@vickysterling3342 It was a large kid and a tiny that were bullied towards the start of S1. The tiny kid was smart duelist but no one took him seriously and the large kid was soft.
At night, the big one would cover himself in jackets and defeat other opponents using the tiny guy’s strategies that he was telling him via radio
1:30 in the sub Jaden did not forget Yubel. His Parents had Jaden go though shock therapy to forget about her, so for all of Jaden's childhood he had no idea why his fellow kids did not want to hang out with him. Thats why he is so despite to join duel academy...... Jesus that's fucked up

One day Jaden and the boys were doing random shennanigans around the school, having duel lessons and stuff. On my next appointment I see Jayden is now an evil overlord in a castle and the new protagonist seems to be some dude who carries around AN ALIGATOR on his back
He was Australian, thats why he had the Alligator.

@@VainerCactus0 Jim was the best. Also Shirley/Karen.
Yup, how most shows went for me as a kid with no cable too 😂 or when we had cable it be a few months and shows i return to things are seriously different and a bunch of weird stuff happened. For example in icarly they were all just friends and then suddenly freddy is dating sam and they got kidnapped for some reason and everything spencer makes catches on fire. Or for the avatar, aang was still searching for teachers then come back and he having nightmares about firelord ozai and is friends with zuko then suddenly there is airships and sokka may have accidentally murdered like 1k worth of men and aang took firelord ozais powers and he kissed katara who last i saw was pining for jet. And a ghost panda happened somewhere in there. But for the most part rarely had cable so i missed out on what happened in first yugioh, watched the start a lil bit and the whole pegasus thing and next thing i know we in yugioh zexal and then the one with motorcycles. But man i thought normal yugioh got weird with the forced puberty and the pharoh in me part and the battling to keep one soul, but this does sound extra crazy.

And in SCP, the Gayest Man is basically what the comment said, a dude who can make people high with his very presence via something, idk maybe his pheromones was crack or something.
He also referrers to himself as the Gayest Man alive, despite possibly not knowing what Gay actually meant.
Oh and so you believe it's an SCP, he sometimes tells people to stop breathing because he had too many people following him, and they do it because they so far down the rabbit hole they will willingly stop breathing even when they pass out in an effort to please the Gayest Man.
Fun Fact: The vampire duelist had her own Castlevania-like theme, was a LEGIT vampire that appeared in a multiparter, was dueling to resurrect her kind, and when Jaden beat her, she turned to dust and died. The GX Sub was kind of effed up.
She did not just die she wagered her soul on Illusion Gate, a card that destroys all your opponents cards and then let you summon any card you want at the cost of you have to wager someone in the rooms soul so if you lose after playing Illusion gate that person has to go to hell. She beat Zane by wagering his brothers soul causing him to avoid winning to not send his brother to hell, but when she dueled Jaden he had been given half rock from the irl card Gravekeepers Assalient come to life (she was pretty hot) and the other half of the rock from the primary antagonist of season four that when combined protected Jaden and his friends from being wagered and then the rock was never seen or used again. Since she still wanted to play Illusion Gate despite Jaden and his friends being off limits she arrogantly wagered her own soul to pay the "cost" thinking she could win since she spied on Jaden to know every card in his deck however he plays a new never before seen monster to turn the tables and she claims he cheated but he just says he thought the monster would be good against her and added it to his deck before the duel and she had no counter play for it and loses and goes to hell.

@@DarthWampa_ Shame season 4 never got dubbed
Not to mention that after Banner dies they never seem to replace him as the dorm head, so Jaden has to fish for his food.
That and Banner’s ghost is just, around, forever, inside of his cat. Like specifically inside of his cat’s stomach, pretty sure Jaden’s the only person that even knows Banner’s ghost was around at all frankly. Him and the cat, arguably not even the cat possibly, he just saw a glowing ball and ate it.
Also banner is a alchemist who made a homunculus body that falls apart after one duel so he hangs out as a ghost that's constantly getting eaten by his cat and in aformentioned duel, jaden debuts a fusion monster he uses all of three times because it sucks and after Banner dies, Jaden gets a Philosopher's Stone spell card (which banner was using as a bookmark in his Emerald Tablet which in this case was a book Banner was trapping everyone he defeats as a Shadow Rider in and it's his Shadow Charm) he uses all of once.
Bro wtf did the writers take while making the show
@@spyridon7109not the craziest thing in Yugioh at all
And that after Banner Dies, NO ONE but Jaden is in Slifer Red.
Jaden accidentally started New Game+ before finishing the story. This is why you double check the memory card currently in the system if you share it with family
Judai’s season 1-2 character becomes a lot different when you realize he was probably lonely since nobody would play with him after the whole yubel coma incidents, and the whole shock therapy as a kid.
It's entirely possible that the shock therapy is what caused his happy go lucky personality in the first place. He couldn't remember anything bad ever happening in his childhood so he kept that childlike innocence even after reaching high school. Once he does remember everything though he immediately changes and stays changes until the very end of the show.
Makes sense why he was so friendly

I do want to add that though the duel goes conveniently unresolved, the actual last scene of the series is Jaden in some desert (???) with his professor’s cat and his professor’s ghost, which is contained inside said cat. and yes, Yubel is still there as well. perfect set up for a wacky spin off series tbh.
Every YGO anime I've seen, in one sentence.
Duel Monsters: Man dies in Egypt... becomes a twink.
GX: Space Hitler regains memories lost to electricity by slaying vampires and beating up children.
Arc-V: A dad gives his son TERRIBLE life advice-- the son proceeds to almost destroy the multiverse trying to live by it.
VRAINS: Children are given PTSD via cardgame to spawn AI doppelgangers... main character uses his to cheat at Yu-Gi-Oh.
You're missing out by not seeing 5D's. Zexal is also surprisingly decent once you get past the annoying 10-15 episodes when Yuma is completely braindead.

5D's: Akira oops, no, gotta deal with Incan mythology and Illuminati oops, no, gotta waste time in anotjer tournament and time travel oops, no, gotta deal with cyborgs from the future that are *the worst* and messing with history. Also a western arc.
Zexal: silly middle-schoolers love augmented reality, nonbinary ghostly twinks and extremely garish designs. Turns out heaven and hell are kinda sorta aliens, also life exists because a dragon cried. Also heterochromia in abundance.
Sevens: in the not-too-distant future, a kid is fed up with stagnancy and fights back with house rules imposed on the system with a peculiar relic. Shenanigans happen constantly, eventually culminating in a giant robot fight in lunar orbit. Also lots of food.
Go Rush: an alien soldier wants a path out of war, thinking card games could be the way to do it, despite not even knowing how to get cards _out_ of booster packs at first. Turns out all his people and those they fight were designed to fight forever, turning into T-shirts when they die, only to be recycled thru peculiar relics back to life. Also time loop? Also lots of cats.

1:21 See this is why I LOVE this channel. Yubel's super quick "I love you" still features the double voice composed of both a male and a female one like in the actual show. It's _such_ a good attention to detail. XD
Would you be surprised that there is a Yugioh series where angels and demons start a proxy war on earth in order to collect the pieces of the code that built the universe and that along the way, over 1 million people died including multiple children and main characters?

When Atem said "guess why I'm here right now" I'm surprised he didn't mention how they were only able to meet because the Pharaoh's children's trading cards sent Jaden back in time into a frozen-in-time pocket dimension and that's how he's able to able to meet and duel Yugi
The last two eps of Gx S4 are a fever dream for me (in a good way). I cannot make heads or tails about how it fits into the cannon.

It's actually crazy how Jaden gets possessed by an insane card spirit and that's treated like a happy ending.
Yubel mellows out after it happens.
@TheAzulmagia that doesn't make it not a bit fucked up
Well you forgot bout the part where the embodiment of darkness shows up and captures the entire world expect for Jaden and they duel for the fate of the world
i mean considering an important thrust of s3 is how jaden/judai formed toxic friendships based on obligations of his strength, and how that leads to all his friends dying because of his crippling immaturity [and his obsessive attachment to the one friend, jesse/johan, until that point he didn't consider a burden in any sense], it is ironically probably the first actual relationship he forms [or rather repairs] in the series that actually features an equatable sense of give and take.
which ya know, kinda goes to show how badly things in general have fucked up by that point. but hey, they get better!
@@overlordpichu5577It always gets me how GX actually recognized that Jaden's friendships were toxic and that having to constantly save them was emotionally draining, and then dealt with it in a mature way, it's something I really wasn't expecting while watching
It's like Inazuma Eleven, you start good and adorable at the first episode and by season 2 you're exorcising demons in another dimension
i mean to be fair, season 1 also had a man trying to kill minors, said man also drugging minors with performance enhancers, attempted murder on an older man, a comatose 7 year old from being hit by a truck, and a boy coming back from america after his two previous friends thought he died in a car accident
Hey now, the exorcising of demons happened on season 3.
Season 2 was about using orphan Football players raised up as child soldiers drugged with a meteor to carry out terrorist attacks on schools through Japan while saying they were aliens and the protagonists getting increasing doses of PTSD.
Then everyone plays a football game and everyone is happy again. At least until a guy tries to start a war with football in season 3...

Let’s not forget you and all your friends get trapped in another dimension that’s essentially hell, and Zane gets a heart attack because he became a masochist. This was brought on because he was played a card game with a buff preschooler in an iron cage deathmatch. Also a time traveler from a dystopian future tells you to follow him into the past so you can team up to fight masked maniac from a post-apocalyptic future who wants to destroy children’s card games, and who accomplishes this task by committing a terrorist attack in domino city and destroying Venice with a giant dragon.
why Venice specifically if they had the time and budget it would have been great if it was Duel Academy itself though at that point the main cast had graduated but they could have been having a reunion
In the undubbed season 4, Zane comes back. From having a heart attack. In another dimension. How? He washes up on the shore. No really, that's it. There's absolutely no further explanation or resolution. He's alive now and less evil, apparently. And the heart attack was due to his cards, not the electric shocks.

"It's about playing the game and having fun...!
...Also you're card game hitler" is my favourite quote from anything ever now
About the cards from Outer Space:
Let’s talk about the time Jaden somehow got his OC Yu-Gi-Oh cards sent into space by Seto Kaiba as a part of a contest.
Cards which then manifested as actual fucking Duel Spirit Aliens.
Duel Spirit Aliens which manifest as Force Ghosts that only he can see. Like some horrific schizophrenic episode.
Which would be on brand considering the electroshock therapy his parents put him through. In order to erase the memories of Yubel.
(Also, could be wrong. But I’m pretty sure Kaiba was doing that whole space thing to:
1. See if there’s alien life.
2. Teach them to Duel.
3. See how good they are at dueling.)
In the end it lead to the development of anti-matter energy so you can't blame the guy for being ahead of his time amirite lmao.
After his boyfriend (technically) died, what else was there for Kaiba to do other than dare outer space to come kill him?

Second season: cult based around worshipping a light-diety threatens to take over the world. Jaden has existential crisis, meets with spaceman, and the cult is defeated.
Third season: Jaden gets a new bestie. Old bestie is not happy and tries to get Jaden all for them selves by removing everyone Jaden loves from his life. Oh and if you lose a duel you either become a zombie or die.
Fourth season: Darkness incarnate threatens to destroy the world. Jaden is on a "I don't give a fuck anymore"-spree and no longer duels for fun. But with the help of season 2 spaceman and session 3 old bestie (and a season 3 alternate genocide personally) they defeat the darkness. Jaden goes back in time, fights old protaganist.

Not the whole show. He left out Alexis’ brother, the Chazz’s whole arc, Bastion and his Amazonian tiger girlfriend he “duelled all night”, the *other* time Jaden shot his cards into space, the Duel Zombies, the Tarzan dude who could draw cards super well, Chumley and his totally not alcoholic dad, the stoner who’s imprisoned below the school or else his very presence gets everybody high, Crowler’s whole arc, Aster being raised by his father’s murderer known only as “The D”, Jesse and his celebrity impression cards, Axel and the Americans…
@@DuelaDent52 honestly out of that the ones that were truly important and were left out was only Jesse and nightshroud pretty much, but all of what you said were subplots, all the plot of the story was cramped and honestly shown here pretty well.
(He also mentioned the cards in space briefly anyways) and most of what you said are minor stuff and very nitpicky, heck the fucking girl who wanted to bang zane and Jaden ends up having more relevancy than the stoner and I dont think she influences the story enough to be worth mentioning anyway

Good on Yugi for not bringing up how that last duel is actually the 4th time they met after meeting outside the entry exams, then having Jaden fight an imposter Yugi and then time travel to fight younger Yugi. Also not bringing up Kaiba Man or the Evil but not Evil Ghost Cat Teacher
The imposter one really shouldn't count.
It's funny how tame the GX manga was compared to the anime. "Yep, there's this evil spirit from back during Atem's Pharoah days that's back again, he became the principal of the American dueling school, and he possesses people and can also possess people using these monster cards that represent the solar system." As strange as that might seem, that's completely feasible compared to the anime.
(Also, the GX anime came first by the way. Basically all manga after Yugi's arc was created after their anime counterparts.)
Honestly from everything I've heard. The GX Manga sounds way better. That feels more like a natural follow up to OG Yu-Gi-Oh.

@@gameuniverse5973 That would make more sense. I thought they just magically created cyborgs and other things far beyond their comprehension and time....
I will always repeat it: Season 4 of GX was wild imagine a school student body isekai into a dark wasteland survival story as zombies plague spread thru everyone with the landmarks being the transported academia school frounds with the limited food resources and nothing. To then escape only to return to find that the isekai was actually a demonic ritual that summoned denizons across dimensions to use as sacrifice including humans, super humans, harpies, etc that feature in the card game. The best part is very person across dimensions are all similtaneously experiencing their own isekai survival narrative as everyone must traverse this vast barren land.

In watching some of GX I think the bizarrest aspect is that no one seems to be phased by duel spirit, the out of place monsters in the world, traveling to the stars... the original series had everyone in shock and awe over anything that happened :P
If it helps, the current show has more credulity. It would kind of have to, with cat-people that are conflict-avoidant, 3-meter-tall women that are work-avoidant, floating hats that duel by just waving a deckbox at each other and then knowing who will win thru precognition, and Jersey Devil aliens from a Planet Jersey that are always dressed in jerseys.

My suggestion for a next video should be focused on Chazz.
Namely that his brothers intended to rule the world through politics, business, and card games.
Also the fact that he somehow survived being in the arctic by himself climbing glaciers, with nothing but his temperate-appropriate clothing, his wits, and an annoying yellow fucking goblin who refuses to wear anything but underwear in said arctic environment. And then proceeds to beat 50 fucking people in a row. And develops a sort of cult of personality in the process.
And then in the next season where he literally joins a cult and proceeds to beat the entire academy... twice.
And is still somehow not the best duelist at the academy next to Jaden.
Look on the bright side Chaz; it took 15+ years for his primary archetypes to get support for all of them all together.

Odd to see Crowley this nice from the start. It takes quite a number of episodes to see him like this. Especially towards Jaden.
This is probably one of his many "kick Jaden out of Duel Academy" plans. He can't get Jaden expelled, but Crowler CAN make him leave of his own volition if he reveals his entire future to him. Jaden would be so thoroughly broken, that he'd never so much as pick up a trading card ever again!
