I think Andre from Team Unicorn should've appeared on the list. He took off 10,000 LP from Team 5Ds by himself, and no-resulted against Yusei when he was rapidly approaching invincibility levels.
For the record, while Andre is a skilled duelist, his 10,000 life point feat is mainly due to tricking team 5ds into using Jack first and countering his style of dueling, coupled with Aki's inexperience with turbo dueling, and using the rules of dueling as a team in the grand prix to his advantage. You could even argue that he technically lost to Yusei, even if it was deliberate.
@@StareachValcin still doesnt change the fact that he beats jack easily 1v1. Its not like Jack has multiple decks he changes based on who he duels. Imo Andre is better than every single person who had appeared in the show up to that point, although you can argue characters like Jack and Yusei got better than him later. He deserved to be on this list, and the fact that he isnt shows this thing was made in a rush
he's also a great strategist. like against aki he was thinking about what to do, and immediately had a new well prepped tactic based on his good topdeck for the moment, and later on.
I don't agree with this, I mean they did startigize well, but I kinda do wish Yusei lost a 2nd time in that duel. I say their win was deserved, and it was not even a single Elim tourney since team Unicorn goes to a losers bracket etc. Just imo would have been better writing I understand though, also now. I don't like Aki as duelist she's cute and probably the best girl duelist from the 4 series (Ghost girl lost every duel as well, but she was a formidle duelist. Sorry spoilers) but yeah 100% Aki should be lower.
Shoutout to the editor for this really good edit for Dyl’s channel. Really refreshing style, and I love the incorporation of memes and reaction faces. I think my only criticism is that it kinda reverts to becoming a clip show midway through, but I understand this style of rapid pace, in-your-face style edit is difficult to sustain for a longer video like this one. Perhaps it’d work better for something less than 10 (maybe even 5) minutes. Overall, I like it. Hope to see more from them in the future.
I'm honestly surprised Halldor/Harald wasnt on this list espesically since he should be stronger than Broder/Brave who dueled Crow equally and Dragan who could have actually beaten Jack but let him win, while Halldor himself actaully held his own against Yusei.
Jack actually could have countered the way Dragan would have won even if he played it. Also Halldor started with two immortal god cards and Yusei started with nothing, Yusei could have easily beaten Halldor if it was one on one.
How the hell was Andre (Andore) from Team Unicorn NOT on this list!? He literally beat Jack and Crow and it took a ridiculous effort by Yusei to finally take him out. He was shown to be highly skilled and would easily bump Lua off of this list.
@@namelessanonymous2913 I think it’s basically thinly of the perfect combo that you can make in the moment, we kinda get an idea of the ability when we get those scenes of Yusei going over a play he’s about to do in his head.
The only reason he beat Akiza was plot armor and everyone knows it. She was robbed a win to make Yusei look better. The Queen and Prince of Yugioh deserved better. (Sorry Yusei, but Atem will ALWAYS be the King and Seto Kaiba is the High Priest.)
Given how well Antimony did against late game Yusei, I would rank him as relative to Yusei and in the same ballpark as Jack Dark Signer Kiryu vs Crow Hogan would've been an amazing imo Oh yeah, Andre should be really high on this list, defeated Jack and Crow with relative ease Mmmm, yeah, I'm not confident that Jack would beat Z-one. It's probably possible, but I definitely think Z-one is favored in that matchup The editor needs a raise; they are making some BANGER edits
It is so much harder to rank everyone in 5Ds compared to every other Yugioh show cause of how many of them are on the same level of too tier. I think Yusei is safely number 1 but after that, it is really hard to decide. Just from the main group alone I would have trouble ranking Aki, Crow and Jack. But then there are so many other chars like Kiryu, Aporia, Antinomy, Zone, so many who participated in WRGP etc. I feel like many of those could go either way.
Props to the editor fr. When I clicked on this video I wasn't expecting this level of editing with the cropped Dyl reactions nor the memes. In my eyes, this is a big improvement for an otherwise simple (not at all bad ofc) channel. Major W fr fr 💯
To be fair , Crow threw the duel to make Lyndon (the clock guy) look good in front of his mother by refusing to activate his Mirror Force I was shocked as well to be fair 😃😃
That duel Yusei had in The Facility against Armstrong could be used on its own to demonstrate how strong of a duellist he is Not only did he duel with a deck of thrown together cards , his opponent made him discard many of them and he still won Side note , while I agree that Jack Atlas could potentially defeat Z-ONE (which to me would be an outside shot) , I think Akiza could potentially if off of a lucky move 😃😃
My list would be: 10. Aki 9. Kiryu 8. Sherry (she may have defeated Yusei in their first duel) 7. Antinomy 6. Dark Signer Godwin 5. Crow 4. Jack 3. Aporia 2. Z-one 1. Yusei
The editing was amazing and hilarious. (Bruno was done wrong by that foolish burial meme) I love the detail of adding each characters' Duel Links theme to them during Dylan's explanation.
I was wondering if you could do ten duels that almost happened and didn’t happen (if this is possible) and what you think might’ve happened - for example Asuka was going to duel Edo but Judai has his rematch instead and Asuka never duelled Edo after this point.
It’s actually pretty crazy in hindsight how many duels Yusei nearly lost. Kiryu would’ve beat him if his Duel Runner didn’t fail, Sherry could’ve beat him depending on the next card she drew, Antinomy would’ve beat him in their first duel if he’d gone all out, and Andre (I think that was his name) from Team Unicorn literally would’ve beat him if Yusei hadn’t psyched him out and he’d just ended his turn.
I'll do my own top 10 Zexal rating in advance: 10. Quinton 9. Quattro 8. Tron 7. Vector 6. Mizael 5. Astral 4. Kaito 3. Don Thousand 2. Nasch/Shark 1. Yuma
I recently watched the final arc of Vrains for the first time and loved Ai to death. Cant wait to see where he places when you get to Vrains. I'm predicting either #2 or #3
3:20 Eyyyy it's Ageha!! Without doubt Aki and Ageha are the two best girls in all of Yugioh! I really want an anime adaptation of the OCG Structures Manga now xD
Top 10 strongest Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's duelist 10. Paradox (I dunno if this counts. But BBT is Canon to 5D's so I'm counting him.) 9. Akiza Izinski 8. Kalin Kessler 7. Rex Goodwin 6. Aporia 5. Antinomy/Vizor 4. Crow Hogan 3. Z-ONE 2. Jack Atlas 1. Yusei Fudo
Loved the editing in this, specially Jack's segment. While Dylan's talking about Jack's dueling ability we see how he went physical when the time called for it
For the record, while Andre is a skilled duelist, his 10,000 life point feat is mainly due to tricking team 5ds into using Jack first and countering his style of dueling, coupled with Aki's inexperience with turbo dueling, and using the rules of dueling as a team in the grand prix to his advantage. You could even argue that he technically lost to Yusei, even if it was deliberate.
Yeah, zexal top 4 is pretty much fixed because of the winner absorbed the loser rule: 1. End of season Yuma 2. Astral with all numbers 3. "Barian Hope" Shark 4. Don Thousand
I always had the feeling that Bruno was holding back against yusei. I felt as though he could have beaten yusei at any point. But had to lose for plot reasons.
He totally was. His duels were lessons for Yusei first and foremost. Also in the second duel it was obvious deep in his heart he wanted to lose so bad. Since he had hope on Yusei changing the future
number 0, paradox. it took yugi jaden and yusei to defeat him. he was also shown to have malefic versions of other iconic monsters meaning he defeated THOSE duelists too
Aki’s summoning of Stardust Dragon vs Team Unicorn was an incredible moment. Also, Andre and Halldor make a great case to be on this list, despite the stiff competition. This was an absolutely loaded top 10
I think you did a really great job with the last two lists but I whole heartedly think this list is very very bad. Before I start my rant let me first say that I’m not trying to be mean, just want to give my opinion on the list. First there are duelist that should have definitely appeared evolve some characters Andre from team unicorn Outside of yusei and aporia he is the only duelist who managed to beat 2 or mores signers in the whole of 5ds, that alone is an insane feat since aporia started the duel with 12000 lp and the other duelist is yusei. He whopped the floor with jack who at the time was pretty much undefeated outside of main villain or yusei and his own clone. Then he defeated Aki easily even tho she had stardust and took him by surprise, lastly he still dealt with yusei. In his practice duel with yusei before the tournament he was defeating yusei, yusei who was on the brink of losing came back last second but even then Andre had a face down and yusei was scared that if he activated it he could have easily lost. I whole heartedly believe he would and could have defeated yusei in a 1v1 if team unicorn didn’t try to trap 5ds. He was also noted to 1v3 tournaments after tournaments with every type of deck ( even trap not decks and what not ). Team unicorn also would have defeated team 5ds all because he got rid of everyone except yusei. Sheryl blanc Idk if I need to say much, did insanely good against yusei and had like 3 tries to draw a spell but didn’t, she didn’t draw her last card but honestly deserved and would have probably won ( keep in mind yusei went full force because he was threatened with an explosive in his dwheel ) Also did very good in a 1v2 vs aki and crow who were at the end of the series aka full power. And also single handedly came very far during the tournament 1v3’ing every team she dueled against. Team ragnorok, specifically haldor. While they should have done better imo they still did great, pls owning a god in the anime honestly single handily makes you one of the strongest, dragan would have defeated jack in their original duel and only barely lost because jack acquired scar red nova ( still he was left so weakened he instantly lost the next turn ), border was pretty much joking around with crow until crow managed a last turn comeback to draw. Haldor is the only duelist to have defeated majestic star dragon plus was dominating yusei. Admittedly he still lost deposits starting with 2 gods but you know yusei is insane. Aki above Bruno is honestly an insult, Sure aki has won more but it’s because she dueled more, Bruno would pretty much defeat yusei in their first duel, yusei at the end of the show aka full powered yusei needed a last second comeback. Those duel bots he easily defeated had just easily defeated sherry prior. He also was going toe to toe against placido and looked like he would win if he didn’t crash or something. Plus everyone one from the future is insanely strong. Aki and Ruka have no business being on here, ruka had 1 good win and even then it was a 1v3 and he needed bs plot armor. I in no world see aki coming close to defeating anyone from team 5ds, ragnrorok, new world, unicorn, sherry, kiryu, Bruno, z-one, most of the dark signers and those are only from the top of my head, het best win is against misty or sherry in a 1v2. She isn’t good enough to be on the list and in no world better than Bruno. Jack above z-one is honestly also crazy. Z-one is busted and only yusei with all signers plus quasar plus bs anime luck constantly drawing 6+cards every turn and classic random anime only card that he can never activate in a normal duel ( clustering wishes ) barely managed to beat z-one. In no world does jack beat him and honestly I think aporia in a 1v1, haldor, rex and Bruno have a good shot at winning. I love jack but putting him in second is very crazy. And lastly I think the list lacks narrative, some characters like Bruno are out lower because they don’t have onscreen wins even tho you know they are better than most of the list, some characters like aki are on the list because they atleast have a few wins against very minor characters, some like z-one are put very high because they are obviously broken, some like jack are out in second because you think they are the only one with a chance against another character. And some like ruka have no real good reasoning. What qualifies to be on the list and where is vastly different per character, I mean if you used the reasoning for aki with a character like andre he would be one the list, if you used your reasoning with aporia on Bruno, he would be higher. It’s very difficult to follow a list if everyone is judged differently.
I don’t completely agree with your list but good video. Didn’t Z-One change his brain to be Yusei, so he thought the same way Yusei did, and if the only duelist Jack can’t beat is Yusei then I don’t think he can beat Z-one. My personal list would be: 10. Crow 9. Sherry 8. Kiryu 7. Paradox 6. Godwin 5. Antinomy 4. Aporia 3. Jack 2. Z-One 1. Yusei I think you can switch some people around and could consider putting Aki, Andre from team Unicorn, or Harald from Team Ragnarok.
Finally someone who remembers Paradox. What do you think about Lotton lmao I agree with Z-one over Jack but I wouldn’t say he is Yusei. I mean Yusei would have lost to him without unlocking Quasar. He’s more like an alternate Yusei, he ultimately still had his own mind he couldn’t perfectly copy Yusei. Like Yusei said he would never come to the conclusions he did. If Yusei traveled back in time it would be to warn humanity not sacrifice anyone
I would agree with the rest except for the Jack statement. In the last duel Jack dominated Yusei throughout most of the duel forcing him to topdeck 3 times. The Crimson Dragon made Yusei extremely lucky or else Yusei just can’t win aganist Jack w/o the Crimson dragon at this point especially after the timeskip where Jack most likely has Supernova (Supernova -> Blazar).
It’s pretty undeniable that Yusei is top tier. In terms of actual power compared to others he’s not really as strong in terms of hax,unlike Jack who got faster regeneration and Aki who was an empowered stand user,at best the crimson dragon gave Yusei a cool tattoo,2 cards and time travel. What truly makes Yusei formidable is his knowledge which allowed him to acquire higher levels of power and speed coupled with a consistent deck with endless combos which made him unbeatable.
@@Deathmare235 I mean power as in exclusive abilities given by magic item’s like Yuma and his Super Saiyan forms letting him make any card or Jack regenerating a broken arm in one day due to his mark or both Yugis willing the cards they need through the puzzle. As explained in the show anyone can accel synchro you need a good engine and some faith as shown by Bruno and Yusei it’s only exclusive to them because they mastered it before everyone else like Master Roshi creating the Kamehameha many years before Son Goku and the others learned it.
@@Deathmare235Limit over accel synchro is a one time thing (combination of all signers). Any of the signers are actually capable of summoning Quasar just because the Crimson dragon can will them to do it (LOAS is not impressive for signers considering context).
After each top10 it would be cool to have a top100 master duel Yu-Gi-Oh (dm to vrains) I don't think WE Can compare rush duellist with master duellist.
If we go by power scaling. Yusei isn't just the strogest duelist in 5ds. He's also the strongest duelist in all of the entirety of the first 3 series. Peak Yusei vs Z-one completely eclipses both EOS Atem and Yugi and EOS Judai. And it all comes from Paradox. Mid series Yusei, EOS Judai, and Atem needed to work together to beat Paradox, who should scale to Bruno and Aporia, maybe sronger. And Z-one's supposed to be stronger than ALL 3 of them. So Yusei didn't just match the powers of 3 Protagonists at their peak. He surpassed it more than 3 fold.
True Yusei didn't even learn Accel Synchro when he dueled Paradox and just by him learning Accel Synchro he's essentially stronger than himself pre accel Synchro, Yugi and Jaden combined when you think about it like that
@@Honest_Mids_Masher if we include the mass of promotional content and games to re-contextualize things, and the fact that in the anime continuity the yami yugi he paired with was before the doma arc and that paradox did not know the name atem on top of judai deeming pre-millenium world yugi his strongest opponent and unpredictable, while yusei is extremely powerful yami yugi has already beaten him at a wcs when he could accel synchro and has voicelines where he admits yugi is the king of games whereas if he loses to judai it's treated as him giving up/teetering out which is to say while judai is cursed due to time traveling as his end series self twice, both yusei and yugi have the advantage of future endeavors (aka extra arcs that further enhance their abilities, which is notable in how battle city seto is massively inferior to kc grand championship seto via his comfort facing atem with a god card let-alone three) with gx yugi not being counted since he was already confirmed to be on another adventure of his own throughout most of the gx series note: yusei does have a line for when he defeats atem but it's basically him comparing atem to him in terms of ability so they're more implied to be very comparable 2nd note: i wish they'd talk about how yusei is the turbo duel king in his plethora of game bios, but overall i'm just highlighting how they're constantly being presented in and out of universe, especially considering how both characters are the primary ones promoting new cards when we're in the buffer between series
Jack Atlas story: Not so good -> Get a sponsor and become king of the arena -> Turns out all/most opponents let Jack win for money -> Jack Atlas get a little more humble and put more effort into his duels -> That is pretty much it, he get some new cards along the way and it not some clever trap or use of cards in a new way but rather just new boss monsters that happen to have an effect that come handy in the next duel. But sure if only count their peak performance and results he might belong on the list but below the rest of the gang IMO (below Crow)
Ai probably had the best dueling record in terms of final boss. He had 9 wins in a single season. Then almost beating Playmaker clean in their Ultimate clash.
With Aki, but summoning of Stardust Dragon vs Team Unicorn was an incredible moment. Also, Andre makes a strong case to make it on this list, though lack of appearances hurts him. Halldor too.
Andre, Halldor and Broder didnt make the list? Are you serious? Kalin should’ve been higher. You should probably stop giving main characters credit because theyre main characters and give credit for actual dueling ability and lore. I could never see Leo or Akiza beating any of the players mentioned except maybe broder and even then it’s a tough out.
even before the final duel against Yusei, Jack went on a rampage and defeated lots of strong duelists from the show, Sherry and probably her butler at the same time, Kalin, Greigar and probably others just so he can prepare for his duel against Yusei
Tbh all 5ds main villain dueling record was absolutely dog shit. When you look at Vrains Bohman only lost to Playmaker Lightning undefeated Ai 9 wins in a single season also only lost to Playmaker in the finale.
I disagree with Crow being better than Aki personally in Riding duels you can make somewhat of an argument but Crow wasn't smart enough to figure out Sherry's field spell unlike Aki.
This list is solid, but... 1. Yusei 2. Z-One 3. Aporia 4. Jack 5. Antinomy 6. Andre 7. Sherry 8. Crow 9. Rex Godwin 10. Kiryu Unfortunately, I don't think Aki or Lua are defeating any of these characters one on one.
Solid list but I think you put Andre way too high, as he only beat Aki because of the Speed counter advantage. Would have put Crow lower than Kiryu seeing how he actually beat Yusei and Crow never beat anyone of note by himself. I would put Jack above Aporia because last episode Jack is significantly stronger than Ark Cradle Jack, But there is a good argument for Aporia.
@@TheOtherGuy128 I put Andre that high because he was stated to have won several team tournaments by himself, on top of easily defeating Jack and Aki. Jack could be stronger than Aporia at the end. It's hard to tell, but you might be right. Lastly, I thought that Crow improved enough to surpass Dark Signer Kiryu, but maybe not.
Damn. A Duel Of Yami Yugi VS Yusei Would Be Beyond Insane. Yugi Is My Favorite Character Ever. But That's Because I Spent My Entire Childhood Watching The Original. But A Lose To Yusei, I Can Truly See Happening, And I Wouldn't Debate. Yusei Is Basically The Embodiment Of Evolution In Character. I Give Yusei A Perfect 10/10 In Everything. Because Unlike Every Other Main Character, Exept Yugi, Yusei Basically Saved Everyone And Pushed Them In The Right Direction. He Doesn't Believe In Failure, And He Knows And Believes That A Future Where Sacrifice Is Necessary Is Not One That Is Worth Fighting For. He Sees Everyone As Equals, And Shooting Quasar Dragon VS Slifer??? Yes Please🔥🔥🔥
I think the show also indicates that crow is still below yusei and jack. Also, maybe Aki in her prime is better than Kiryu; but I think it’s honestly quite close. Also can’t wait to see your zexal list; I think Yumas prime is not easy to beat at all. Also, ig it might depend on if you count Zexal differently; since that’s only possible from both Yuma and Astral together.
My prediction for Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal list 1-7 the seven barain emperors 8. Yuma 9. Kite 10. Don thousand Not in that order How many wanna bet that he would have honorable mentions or make it a top 15 so the list isn't so predictable!
One thing I will say about the inevitable zexal video is that I really do believe yuma should be if not the strongest duelist in zexal, then he's definitely in the top 3 with kite and shark. Especially when you do these lists by when the characters are at their strongest you could argue that yuma shark and kite are all at their strongest during the barian arc towards the end of the show. So really if you look at it like that you could easily put yuma 1st then kite 2nd and shark 3rd,or kite 1st shark 2nd and yuma 3rd,or shark 1st yuma 2nd kite 3rd ect and no matter what way you arrange the top 3 it will always hold merit because no matter what you are talking about 3 of the most powerful characters in the yugioh franchise and so no matter what order the 3 come in,no one can truly ever say the order is wrong or inaccurate because when you're talking about yuma shark and kite at their absolute strongest the order doesn't really matter what matters is that they're all present in the top 3 😁 😉. Now personally I'd rank it yuma 1st shark 2nd and kite 3rd but that's just me 🙂
Yuma improved over the series. However he is not number one. That has to go to someone else like Astral, Kite, Shark, Rio (No 101 Ragna Zero) Yuma is up there for sure but he fell short to me for number 1. There was a lot of great duelist in Zexal. Trey Quattro Quinton Dextra Anna there was a bunch in Zexal that stood out. 😅
@Michael A Burns I definitely agree that yuma wasn't the best at the start the only reason I would say yuma is number one for me is because his improvement was so great and you could see him getting stronger and better every episode slowly over time up until the start of the barian arc where he's at his peak and consistently gives incredible performances in his duels. So for me he's number 1 not just because of his dueling abilities but also because of his playstyle and dueling abilities grew and evolved over time in a way that was believable and so watching it all take place on screen was fun for me. So he's not just number 1 for abilities but also because I'm just very invested in his character as a whole.(and to be honest astral wouldn't even make my list. I never really did like his character to be honest)
@@michaelaburns734 Yuma beat Astral who had all of the number cards including all of the Utopics meanwhile Yuma had Onomats Yuma's definitely better than Astral
I would have taken Leo off and put Andre from team unicorn there. Then take akiza off and shift Andre and Bruno each up one, then give the new last spot to Halldor maybe? So then in 10 we have Halldor, 9 we have Andre, and 8 we have Bruno. Preserve the rest of the list. Maybe you could argue to swap Kallen and Bruno for 8 and 7 if you wanted to, but definitely don’t touch the top 6. Tough list because 5Ds probably has the most number of good duelists, as well as the top 3 probably being in top 7 ever. Yugi, Kite, Yuma/Astral together, and Playmaker the only ones that could give them a run for their money tbh.
Z-ONE literally obliterates everyone in 5DS with the exception of Yusei and even then I can't 100% say Yusei would win if he didn't have the Signer dragons. His combos were VERY specific in that duel and relied on the signer dragons for him to perform such combos. But hey, at least you didn't place Z-ONE as a low D like TGS anime did lmao
I would go with Yusei Zone Jack Antinomy Kalin Crow Aporia Broder Akiza Taro I understand putting Jack above Zone but I feel Jack doesn't have the consistency needed to reach that Level. With Antinomy I see your argument about not getting to see his ability but I feel that simply possessing the skill needed to push Yusei to that level is telling of his skill. He is also able to perform Delta Accel Synchro which is regarded as a high level technique. Kalin shoots up the rankings for being the only Duelist that was able to defeat Yusei, a character that deserves the title of strongest Duelist in all of Yugioh. Broder was able to beat Jack and tie with Crow when they were both at a level beyond where they were in the Dark Signer arc. Taro might not be the tenth strongest Duelist but I felt he deserved recognition for being able to pull off Zushin.
the whole thing with Leo skill as a duelist is obvious to anyone that pays attention to his duels that he is a good duelist with a lot of potential but the problem Leo has is he is never allowed to show what he can really do in his duels because the stupid writers hold him back and force him to lose all of his duels in stupid ways and even in his duel with aporia the writers were still holding Leo back making his moves backfire in stupid ways for artificial tension so if the duel between Leo and Aporia was written like an actual duel then Leo might not have even needed Life stream Dragon to come out as plot armour to help them win the duel against Aporia in fact life stream dragon was more of a plot device for helping Yusei with summoning shooting quasar dragon with its custom made effect that lets yusei change the level of all the other signer dragons with crow I would not call him a good or bad duellist since he is just there and he is given way more screen time then the other characters and if Akiza, Leo or Luna were given just as much screen time as crow to improve and show what they can really do in a duel then they would be just as good as crow if not better than him and finally with Yusei he is just such an obvious choice for the number one spot for a list like this since yusei is practically a unbeatable god in the show that never loses his duels not because of his skill but because of his godly plot armour
