The original was good But the focus on card games feel so much more justified in the future series Here, it comes across as the characters taking a card game too seriously lol The other justify it with cards either having Spirits, cards being used for warfare and cards being capable of warfare because they actually generate real bodies for monsters Also, have you noticed how half the characters don’t even know how to play the game lol
I actually played gx spirit caller for the nds a little while back and used a dark magician deck utilising dark magic curtain and magical dimension so I could possibly summon three dark magicians. I know that it's a longshot from the actual thing but every time I had all three on the board and attacked I shouted "TRIPLE BLACK MAGIC".
I think only original yugioh ( we can add GX too) only had all players to use all different monsters while in other series characters only would only use main monster in their deck and then play only spell/trap cards (not possible to play in real life like that). Zexal was all about Kibou Ou Hope on field. Yuma vs Nash, after Yuma summoned NO.39 he did not played any other monster... Yuya used other monsters bc he had action cards to protect him (Worst protagonist ever).
