Man imagine how hilarious this episode would have been is Adrian just started with all of exodia's pieces in his hand. "Alright let's DUEL! Aaand I win"
I like how Aster just has that Force of Four card for this one very specific scenario. It's a card that literally has no synergy with anything else he has, and has no actual use outside of preventing Exodia. On top of the fact that he just happens to have it in his hand the moment he realizes he's against an Exodia deck. I know the anime's no stranger to these weirdly niche cards, but this one just feels more blatant due to how specific Force of Four is, and the card not even being on theme with anything else Aster uses.
Sometimes I will read cards spell cards that are so busted if you’re fighting a niche deck like machines or water, that if someone really hard the foresight to do that cheating will definitely be debated 😂
It makes me so mad that Aster lost this duel, as I really wanted him to win. I love Aster but I believe that the GX writers really did him dirty after he beat Jaden. He did win duels offscreen, but every duel after his first match with Jaden, (with the exception of the D) resulted him in losing every onscreen duel after.
@@michaelkarimian7538 sometimes by making a mistake he wouldnt make as a professional duelist no less like constantly forgetting his opponents monster effects.
@@Chaosmarauder maybe in this case Aster never seen Exodios before and those effects including the automatic win effect after all five Exodia pieces are sent to the graveyard with Exodios' effect by sending a piece of Exodia to the graveyard everytime Exodios attacks. Aster did manage to stop Exodia from being complete in Adrian's hand but Exodios was definitely an unexpected yet fatal devastation that was too much for him to handle, but he would have won if the effects of Aster's facedown wasn't cancelled out; that last facedown of Aster's actually put Exodios on hold by stopping a battle phase and if it weren't for the Rage of the Forbidden One cancelling out every effect on the opponents field, Aster would have won.
Aster should have won, that spell card Adrian played "Rage of the Forbidden One" is BS. You can't go back a phase into the battle phase once it has ended and that spell card is not a quick-play spell card. Aster's Plasma Discharger trap has long resolved by the time Adrian thought of playing that spell.
@@rendezyt Granted it's not a Quick-Play Spell when it really ought to be, but Rage of the Forbidden One specifically states that it can only be activated during the Battle Phase (while controlling a face-up Exodius), and card effects trump rulings so chaining it to Plasma Discharger during the Battle Phase should be a legal activation.
@@dancostello4872 I don't know any other normal spell card that can be activated from the hand. Do you lol? Yeah they should have made it quick-play spell. Typical anime plot nonsense.
@@motodog242 That was just an aesthetic thing for the purpose of dramatic effect (and to show how Yubel would use the darkness to restore her power) - after Summoning herself, Yubel attacked Grinder Golem normally to reflect the damage to Amon (in the anime she didn't have to be attacked to inflict damage; that effect is actually what the card Nightmare Pain references), which would have happened regardless of whether or not Echo had sacrificed herself and manifested within Amon's deck. So that particular moment wasn't plot armour. There were plenty of plot contrivances during the duel - both players having perfectly crafted opening hands, Amon attacking Uria despite knowing it wouldn't be destroyed instead of crashing into Hamon (Exodius would've survived, and Battle Damage didn't matter because he was literally one turn away from fulfilling an alt-win con); Nightmare Shuffle etc. - but that specifically wasn't one of them.
Nope, he drew it, but it was never added to his hand. It'd be like having 3 pieces of exodia in your hand, using graceful charity, and then drawing 2 pieces of exodia and a random card. Despite having drawn all 5 pieces, it's auto win effect doesn't count until graceful charity effect ends. So like that, Exodia didn't count here because as soon as it was drawn it had to be sent to the graveyard. So it never counted as being part of his hand.
the spell doesn't work exactly the way the anime is describing it here. Adrian wouldn't actually draw the card, it would be sent directly from the top of his deck to the graveyard because he already has 4 cards in hand. he'd never have the head, and never be able to resolve the alt win condition.
Too bad he didn't have the RL version of Plasma/Bloo-D. That could negate any opposing Monster effect and leave Exodios a useless 0 ATK, and then absorb it for good measure.
the anime really made Exodius broken, especially for GX era. Not just immune from battle destruction, not just immune to traps or spells, immune to ALL your opponent's effects. Literally just switch him to defense mode and anyone without a Piercing effect is screwed. You barely need Exodia in the deck at all, in fact, give this version of Exodius to that guy with the Burn Deck this season. Unremovable defense feature.
You do know this is the anime(plot armor) obviously is the reason why Adrian won this duel because he didn't really need to duel Aster to begin with, he just wanted Echo. Aster definitely would've won if it weren't for plot armor.
He did indeed. Biggest nonsense and robbery in Yugioh GX ever. As you said they should have made it a negating quick-play spell or a trap that can be activated from the hand for cost in response to Aster's Plasma Discharger trap when Exodius is on the field (like paying your life points similar to "Red Reboot" or by discarding all the other non-Forbidden cards in your hand (or cards those that do not mention "Forbidden" in its text)) then it would would have made more sense.
Question: If Soul Release is used to banish all Exodia parts from the Graveyard, will Exodius' ATK points will be weakened? A.) Yes, because it is targeting the Graveyard and not Exodius. B.) No, because it is still technically targeting Exodius
![Was Atticus About To Defeat Yusuke? [The Invasion of Darkness! Stolen Memories]](/img/1.gif)
It didn't pay off, but props to Aster for seeing an abusive boyfriend and immediately stepping in.
HES DA GOAT
DA GOAT!!!!
Aster’s a pro-duelist, so he recognizes an exodia deck
Does that mean I'm a pro too? 😮
@@SKMedia252guess I’m also a pro
after all he did defeat Zane.
He didn’t even tell Exodia to obliterate? For shame!
Missed opportunity, smh my head
He got obliterated in the end for his kingly crime
I know! Every time you complete Exodia, you have to say the line! It’s an unspoken rule
Adding Soul Release to the list of cards to put in my deck if I’m ever isekai’d to Duel Academy.
Oh no! Not that one character that appeared in one episode! She was my favorite!
F this season.
Man imagine how hilarious this episode would have been is Adrian just started with all of exodia's pieces in his hand.
"Alright let's DUEL! Aaand I win"
There’s actually a 1/65,000 chance of that actually happening irl. I legit looked it up

Kinda like Nasch vs Quattro.
Dude had a card to *give his opponent an Xyz material.*
Pretty much only useful against Number C88.
This is a Kids show so of course it's coincidental.
Agreed, this cant be excused, the characters can not only cheat by picking their hand, but also pick cards from out of deck to draw
Sometimes I will read cards spell cards that are so busted if you’re fighting a niche deck like machines or water, that if someone really hard the foresight to do that cheating will definitely be debated 😂
Aster basically forgot twice about Exodio's effect.
Yeah he is like shocked when things dont work hahaha
I assume unlike irl they cant just pick up the card a re read it😂
When did he forget for a second time?
@@PokeLexgnzlz when he summoned plasma to try and have it absorb exodios
@@saiyanscaris6530 He didn't try, he only mentioned the ability, maybe trying to dissuade Adrian from Summoning more monsters.
its so cute crowler holding jaden''s shoulder while watching the duel XD.
Jaden was severely weakened after Axel defeated the Supreme King and got rid of his darkness. So he needed help standing
The fuckin roll to credits KILLED ME 😂
So that’s were the the term “cook” came from 😂
Wasn't the Rock who popularized it?
@ I’m not sure, probably?
2:29 "Now Destiny Dude" lol there were alot of flubbed lines this season from what I've noticed.
I wonder if exodia feels betrayed by yugi for trusting to let weevil look at the cards
i'm not sure. but yugi did tear up other copies of exodia later as well.
@@thanoseid2883 Oh so when Kaiba does it it's a crime, but when Yugi does it it's okay.
Those were fakes I'm pretty sure @@thanoseid2883
He got isekai’d to this dimension and was seen as overpowered and locked up, waiting for the king to release him… but adrien wasn’t the true king…
Exodios, no one’s ever been able to summon him!!!
For some reason I love how the monsters echo when they’re summoned.
Too bad you cut the part where Zane sets boundaries in winning Duels
_I would do anything to win a Duel, but I would never cross this line_
Should've used that typhoon on the facedown card.
In this duel, Aster was so close and he almost won. If it weren't for Exodios auto win effect, Aster would have won that duel.
It makes me so mad that Aster lost this duel, as I really wanted him to win. I love Aster but I believe that the GX writers really did him dirty after he beat Jaden.

The effect was nageted
@@ugochukwunyere3196 You don't really understand my comment; I know that it was negated; I'm saying the manner in which it was negated was wrong.

The double deezzz from aster 😂😂 3:15 nice one
Exodia couldn't even scratch Zorc, how is that going to "rule the world"?
The dub forgot to use the TCG version of Exodia
The dub kinda makes up the rules as it goes
the dub has a lot of mistakes. Their main goal is to market to kids, not for professionalism.
Different Dimension, different censorship rules.
17:08 why did they make that a normal spell? It’s supposed to be a quick play spell
Has Aster had a single duel where he didn't summon Diamond Dude and landed a hit?
9:45 Remember when destiny was Aster’s thing? My, my, how the tables have turned
Aster should have used mystical space typhoon to destroy adrians face down.
And after this whole song and dance, Adrian got slammed by Yubel. Thus rendering his sacrifice of Echo completely unnecessary
Which he lost due to plot armor of Yubel forcing Eco/Ecko/Ekko/Echo to command an attack. So… yea…
@@motodog242 That was just an aesthetic thing for the purpose of dramatic effect (and to show how Yubel would use the darkness to restore her power) - after Summoning herself, Yubel attacked Grinder Golem normally to reflect the damage to Amon (in the anime she didn't have to be attacked to inflict damage; that effect is actually what the card Nightmare Pain references), which would have happened regardless of whether or not Echo had sacrificed herself and manifested within Amon's deck.

@@dancostello4872yh the whole perfect opening hands thing got commented on in the very OG series when the anime decided to brick Joey's hand xd
6:20 technically he wins right here he has all five in hes hand

Adrian got exactly what he deserved for what he did to ecko
Even though echo willingly agreed
@ugochukwunyere3196i don’t think Echo knew she was gonna die afterwards.
@@redrazorx-23 they literally say that in this episode
So if Aster had held onto Dunker for one more turn, he might have been able to discard plasma for game
Yugioh GX predicted Call of Duty Black Ops (Again)
Jaden: Step 8, Aster... Freedom!
Aster: For you, Jaden, not for me!
Jaden: Aster!
Aster lost due to plot armor
Which can also be said about every duel in these shows.
if he could keep dunker on the field, he could have been able to keep dumping cards into the graveyard to burn him for game.
Adrian absolutely understood the assignment and was not playing around with Aster's bullshit
>I summon Clocktower Prison!
>HA! YOU THOUGHT!
But what would happen if he used MST to destroy dimensional prison
Aster Phoenix 😢
He got done so dirty
@@ScarletKuriboh Don't Worry he got retribution In Arc V
@@brandansmith-carter2369 The bar for retribution must be on the floor then.

Yeah after his loss to Jaden, he started to have losing streaks.
Shouldn’t plasma negated exodious effect plus
Just imagine. Alastor: I play soul release
Exodia deserved better.
Yeah. Yugi comes immediately to mind
Too bad he didn't have the RL version of Plasma/Bloo-D. That could negate any opposing Monster effect and leave Exodios a useless 0 ATK, and then absorb it for good measure.
Always wanted to see this duel
the anime really made Exodius broken, especially for GX era. Not just immune from battle destruction, not just immune to traps or spells, immune to ALL your opponent's effects.

GX plot armor is more broken then Atem
Indeed
Hard to believe, but it’s true
Bro? Rage of the forbidden one isnt a quick play, its MP2 how did gieco go back to BP? Dude Aster got hoed!
He did indeed. Biggest nonsense and robbery in Yugioh GX ever. As you said they should have made it a negating quick-play spell or a trap that can be activated from the hand for cost in response to Aster's Plasma Discharger trap when Exodius is on the field (like paying your life points similar to "Red Reboot" or by discarding all the other non-Forbidden cards in your hand (or cards those that do not mention "Forbidden" in its text)) then it would would have made more sense.
That had to have been an error
It's effect states it can only be activated during the battle phase
He shouldn't have destroyed clocktower. He practically had immunity
Exodia!!
15:33 you mean attack points
Question:
If Soul Release is used to banish all Exodia parts from the Graveyard, will Exodius' ATK points will be weakened?
A.) Yes, because it is targeting the Graveyard and not Exodius.
B.) No, because it is still technically targeting Exodius
A)
Exodia Obliterate.
👌
It’s an unspoken rule that you have to say the line upon completing Exodia
Axel used a spell car AFTER his battle phase. Aster should have won
Duel energy lol😂
