Yo can you respond me? it has to be the 10th time that i'm asking what is the background sound that you are using in each of "Was about to defeat" series
Well, this was quite the High-Stakes Duel. Maybe the next one you go for could be something lighter, like the one between Jaden and the Dark Magician Girl?
Fun fact: the sacred beasts get destroyed an ammount of times that fit with each one of the school's dorms. Uria gets destroyed 3 times so third rate, Hamon twice so second rate, and then Raviel gets destroyed once at the end of the duel so he is Obelisk rate. Not sure if that was done on purpose.
@@silverwolf2676 I wouldn't be so sure, in the end, a Sleifer Red managed to beat an Obelisk, simultaneously winning the duel from that move. Kaiba hears that, he'd get PTSD flashbacks and would probably blow up another island.
You know... I just realised how impressive it is that the metal claw arm is able to so accurately pull cards from Kagemaru's deck without damaging the cards. Almost as impressive as the fact that Kagemaru's name wasn't changed in the English dub
@@ColeMeCrazy You can thank Seto Kaiba for that. The Iron Man/Batman of the Yugioh universe. Jaden is like Spiderman/The Flash of the Yugioh Universe.
Anime Egyptian gods would have wrecked the sacred beasts. Also it actually is possible. Remember, Kaiba summoned Obelisk out of literally nowhere in the DoD movie.
@@ryguyk9375 Eh eh eh It was from the pharaoh’s memories… or to be more precise, the memories of high priest Seto to whom he is bound. So not nowhere… just not here
I’d like to push for Kaiba vs Zigfried, Kaiba’s best duel in the series. Zigfried played quite cautiously throughout the duel, often raising his life points at cost, while Kaiba played quite a few risks that end up paying off (probably symbolic of their businesses). Could Zigfried have won if he took a few risks too?
i have another question here isn't it technically cheating for jaden not to declare the first three activations of sabatiel when it changes into other cards
The Bubbleman summon, double draw, metamorphosis, Neo Bubbleman, Bubble Blaster play and the sequence that followed is one of my favourite combos in a duel across the whole series. So so cool to watch
There actually was a massive misplay on Kagemaru's part: All he had to do was set Cemetery Bomb the turn he drew it and fired it in Jaden's draw phase. He had more than 6 cards in the Graveyard at the time, so if he flipped that against Jaden's empty board, that is game.
There was a misplay by Kagemaru in his first turn. If he set Jar of Greed facedown and activated it during Jaden’s turn, he would have drawn Chain Burst Early. This would allow him to draw one card deeper in his deck throughout the duel. It would also power up Uria to 4K immediately and shut down Tempest from attacking, leaving Kagemaru at full LP, and in control of the duel. One card can make all the difference.
@@filipvadas7602 He had no way of knowing if the next card would be a trap, so he hedged his bets to ensure he had a revive on his sacred beast. Its only a misplay for someone who can see the future.
@@rodhgaralto I'd say to make it "balanced", you'd have to add those restrictions : - Can ONLY copy Magic spells, and you HAVE to send it to the GY (gives a few counters) - the new effect HAVE to be resolved in order to get it back (means that if the new effect got negated, you won't get Sabatiel back) - after 3rd use, banish Sabatiel from the game - OFC, hard once per turn on Sabatiel - limited to 1 per deck
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 thing is, in the modern metagame, almost every borken card in the og anime could be printed as is and be fine, the few that wouldn't (sabtiel, ra, card of sanctity) could be fine with minor tweaks rather than gutting (card of sanctity id have made as "must have at least 2 cards in hand, can only be activated main phase two, opponent must have 3 or fewer cards in hand, hard once per turn" rather than "lol banish everything you own to draw two"
As much as I love this duel, I always wished that it was Jaden and Zane tagging against Kagemaru. It would have been really awesome to see them duel together.
@@demon2441 Given how easily he can bring out an 8000 attack Cyber End Dragon in a single turn, pretty sure he would have folded Uria on like the second turn of the duel if Kagemaru went first.
If zane his deck would probably send however many machines to his graveyard and then using whatever that spell cards name was to fusion summon whatever the name of that cyber dragon fusion monster was called that would have a huge attack
I would like to see "Was Team Unicorn about to defeat Team 5Ds" Theres a lot to the duel that I think could have gone differently, and its an interesting duel to begin with
Yes but most people over analyze the end and not the whole duel so it would be interesting to see if team 5ds could have won earlier if they did a different plan. Additionally because it’s a team duel, we could also consider what happens if the order was changed for the members of team 5ds as remember, the only reason Jack heads the team was because team unicorn baited them into going with Jack first.
I love watching these analyses of GX duels. I feel like that series especially liked to introduce story elements that we can claim had a role in the duel. In that same way, you know who else needs a chance to prove themselves? The Chazz! In “The School Duel” pt 1&2.
Its wild that Jar of Greed , ONE CARD, basically was the thing that cost Kagemaru the Duel. If he had set it on his first turn and activated it first chance he got, he would have gotten the perfect combo , controlled the duel and ended Jaden before he even got the chance to make a comeback. Granted, its not neccesarily a *missplay* per say since he probably wanted a safety net for Uria and he had no way of knowing the cards he'd draw later in the duel. But its still crazy that *one* card lost him the Duel.
Or ya know, playing Mispolymerization. He should have know better considering he must have known about Judai's HEAVY fusion deck. He could have returned Tempest to the extra deck and just nuked him with Uria.
Yeah. It's not a missplay. Assuming he had 10 traps and was playing around removal mathematically if Jaiden has removal and he sets jar he outright loses 2/3 games as he loses the sacred beast, can't get the op field spell running ext.
Assuming the writers were not in a hurry writing this duel, maybe what happens is that Kagemaru is not really a duelist, so he will naturally missplay a lot. If the sacred beasts where in hands of a competent duelist, Jaden would have lost in kagemaru's 2nd turn. All what kagemaru had to do was in his first turn also set jar of greed, tribute it instead of mispolymerization. Use mispoly to bounce Jaden's Tempest next turn, and without anything to protect Jaden and uria with 4000 ATK, it would have been game. Kagemaru would have won easily.
@@osaka_phong to be fair, Jaden also had *hacks* at the end of the duel with a card that basically let him play 3 cards directly from his deck. PS: Yeah, I think its safe to assume rhat this was one of the Duels the GX writers thought out pretty well, as there are no big dumb misplays for the sake of plot. The Duel feels like it progresses pretty naturally.
Kagemaru continues the trend of the season 1 main villain having broken cards but lackluster skills. On a side note, the duel should have ended with Kagemaru turning to dust due to backlash from the Sacred Beasts' power.
Not really. If he had set jar of greed he wouldn't have had a trap card in hand to special uria back. Plus jar only draws 1 card which means if it wasn't a trap he'd still be in the same position, no uria. Though if he did draw a trap uria wouldn't have been destroyed by neo bubbleman. But as we see he didn't draw a trap so discarding jar for uria was the best move
@@mrummgoat53 I did say cumulative misplays and the Jar of greed was one of them. The cards he drew would’ve been accelerated by at least a turn and that would’ve led to at least him having more at his disposal since if he activated it on jaden’s turn, he would’ve effectively drew 2 new cards so
@@GoldRichness it still would have only accelerated his draws by 1 (even if he activated it on jadens turn) which would not have been worth losing uria. He even says it at the end of the video, they both played the best possible game they could have
To be fair, I wouldn't call not putting down Jar of Greed a misplay per say since he had no clue what else he would draw, so it makes sense that he wanted a safety net for Uria in case Jaden pulled smth out of his arse which tbf ended up happening. Still, its wild that if he *had* done, he probably would have won as he would have one more trap in the GY, drawn Hamon a turn earlier and would have completely controlled the duel and ended Jaden before he got Flute of Summoning Kuriboh.
@@GoldRichness Why don't yugioh players know what the word "misplay" means. With the information he had, setting jar was statistically the wrong play, that it would have turned out better doesn't make it a misplay.
It happens more often that card effects change later on from anime effect to real-life effect. An example in GX would be Thunder Giant, which at first didn't require a discard but later it did.
Many times in early 5Ds, Yusei revives Speed Warrior to tune with Junk Synchron, but doesn't use Junk Synchron's effect to do it. Later in the series, it does have its effect though. It's kind of funny to see what would become such a well known card "misused" early on.
I really love this entire series of analyzing the anime battles. As someone who could never really grasp the rules of the game, this is a fun and analytical way of examining the fights and giving me a nostalgia hit along the way. Keep these coming!
Looking back at this duel review, it's funny that Elemental Hero Electrum was the one finished off Professor Banner & Kagemaru. Upon Banner's defeat, he gave a card to Jaden that would power up him and defeat Kagemaru. Also, I would like to see if Professor Banner could've beaten Jaden review.
I'm surprised you didn't make a bigger deal about Kagemaru drawing cemetery bomb. Now granted most of the traps he plays this duel in the context of the episode are just there for flavor, they only exist to summon and re-summon Uria. But had he waited and used it later, especially after Jaden halfs his own lp, I think he just wins right away by activating it.
It could be something similar to Marik with his Slifer deck in that he just wants to overpower through sheer force. Before Yugi's infinite draw play I believe Marik had 12 cards in hand. If none of those were a summonable monster or a monster destroyer then his deck must be awful outside of his God combo. Most likely he COULD have ended Yugi earlier, but he just wanted him to squirm helplessly against the inevitable by only relying on Slifer and his increasing attack points. Oh, yeah, and he also gains power specifically through having his sacred beasts deal damage right?
@@kyuubinaruto17He also constantly underestimates Judai, calling his monsters small fry and thinks he can't be beat Which is why he took the L at the end, he didn't believe he could be beaten least of all by Judai's Elemental Heroes
This is one of my favorite YGO anime content. I love the analysis and duel breakdowns in these videos, and I really don't see this anywhere else. Thank you so much for this series!
This was great. I recently did a binge watch of GX in it's entirety was a bit confused about the Sacred Beasts' abilities in the anime. Would love an Aster vs Adrian duel breakdown from S3, I feel like that's one of the more bizarre duels from that season
These are legitimately my favourite videos on RU-vid. Keep up the amazing work! Would also love to see an analysis of Kaiba vs Pegasus (Allister) and Kaiba vs Zigfried.
Can we see a Dr.Faker vs Yuma, Shark, and Kite duel analysis. Could Dr.Faker have won if not for facing plot armor? Could the ZEXAL trio have won sooner in the duel? Who was the MVP? I know the 1v3s may be harder to do, but this is a suggestion I came up with after watching the Bonds Beyond time, as this is Zexal’s 1v3 vs the main antagonist of the first season. Like this comment if you also want to see this duel analysis! Also would love for people to comment below more iconic Zexal duels as we currently only have the Astral vs Yuma, and Yuma vs Kite duel analysis.
Sabtials effect in real life is when Winged Kuriboh is destroyed you pay half you LPs and can grab a fusion spell card from your deck and what’s funny is that Judai actually used Sabtials effect to get Fusion Recovery, De Fusion, and Miracle Fusion
Just want to point out: Had Jaiden used Five Truths to banish _4_ traps and *Hamon,* he genuinely could have messed up Kage’s whole strat. He didn’t have any cards that un-banish, so without Hamon, one third of his aces are gone.
I would love to see you do Lunis/Umbra vs Yugi/Kaiba. It would be interesting to see you analyze a double duel and mention the differences between it and a regular one on one.
Had one of the cheapest anime-only cards imaginable. Think it was just called "hand swap." And you can play it with an empty hand. Luckily Lumus only used it on his partner to make a major gamble because he stopped trusting him. It's the exact type of overpowered no-cost card Kaiba would play, except he probably wouldn't because that would imply he needs help from his "weak" opposition even if it's OP.
They should’ve let Uria in the TCG/OCG Be special summoned by sending continuous traps on your field, regardless of its position to make it easier to summon. They could’ve added its anime effect to resurrect itself but probably by banishing a trap from his GY instead of discarding a trap.
Actually Uria's anime effect on the wiki page you showed us just states that Uria can't use it face down destruction effect on the turn it revives and due to Jaden constantly destroying it throughout the duel Uria doesn't spam it to instantly win Kagemaru the Duel.
I think that was the Wiki trying to justify why Kagemaru wants destroying Jadens set cards. There are a few turns in this duel where it’s effect is available but he still doesn’t destroy the set spell cards. Obviously I could be wrong, but from how the duel played out it’s the explanation that I personally think is correct.
@@TGSAnime Honestly if you want my opinion I think Kagemaru just went a bit mad with power here. He used Uria's effect when he was an old man but when he changed the power went to his head and he thought he didn't need it.
Actually Uria's effect does not destroy set spell cards at all according to Yugipedia. And Jaden never set any trap cards after the first turn. Thats why he had to play Bubble Illusion after all. I wonder if the wikis changed their text recently.
I was hoping the next Duel Analysis would be Yubel vs Adrian, and while this isn't that, I'm glad you at least referenced it here and how it relates to the Sacred Beasts. Plus, the Sacred Beasts are just so cool so even if it's not Yubel using them a Duel video involving them is still great. :)
It's cause Yusei is never allowed to lose silly. If he does, well, he just wouldn't be as cool you know! I enjoy 5Ds but Yusei might be the closest thing the Yu-Gi-Oh series had to an actual mary sue lead we've ever had.
I wish Banner used Sabatiel during his duel with Jaden since his deck is so spell reliant but it would have also been a good foreshadowing if Jaden was given Sabatiel at the end of that duel.
Considering how the Sacred Beasts are DIVINE/Divine-Beast in the anime, and recalling the inconsistencies of the Egyptian God Cards' effects, I'd be down for it being a matter of "user interpretation" for Uria's inconsistency. Your theory for the EGC effects a few years ago was that they were "incomplete" and "completed by their users", who's interpretation of the flavour text mascaraing as effect text was what defined their exact effects, e.g. Obelisk's "The opponent will be damaged" becoming 4000 effect damage in Kaiba's hands. With the anime Sacred Beasts also being Divines, I could see there being an element of this at play. It's not necessary but it would conveniently explain things like Kagemaru's Uria destroying all traps, but only traps, while Yubel's destroys both spells & traps, but one at a time. Yubel's Uria only growing with continuous traps in grave compared to Kagemaru's version working with any kind of trap would also fit into this.
That Philosopher's stone card sounds amazing. If it's just any spell card in your deck, then you can still get (if they weren't banned) Graceful Charity or Pot of Greed, any Ritual spell card, any fusion spell card, any field spell card, Moster Reborn/Reincarnation etc.
I bet there are multiple ways to OTK with a card like that. It's literally 3 of whatever card you want all in the same turn and then a damage boost that you can also play in the same turn. Whether it's something like summoning 5 attack position tokens and attacking one or destroying you opponent's board to prevent an OTK or just plain assembling any of the many OTK combos, it just makes it too easy.
I know that Armityle the Chaos Phantasm didn't exist back in this duel but let's say he did have that card in his deck he could summon him and use his anime effect (10000 of effect dmg) to win
Loved this duel, loved this arc in general! Have considered doing more rival duels. Live Chaz Vs. Jaden, Declan (Reiji) Vs. Yuya, or even Revolver Vs. Playmaker?
Also, since the miraculous event that is Volcanic getting new support, I would like to request the next GX Duel analysis be either Axel VS his Father or Jaden
I think Bubbleman also got an errata in the anime because I do believe it once allowed Jaden to just draw 2 cards upon summon, even when his field isn't empty or he has cards in his hands. I may be wrong tho, but I'm sure Thunder Giant once had an effect where it just destroy a monster on the field, then a monster with ATK equal or lower to it, then it finally required a discard. Also my DP is Electrum's chest symbol
This video is so amazing and this duel was outta this world. Jaden really pulled it off by defeating 3 Sacred Beasts for the 1st time. I would like to see a Duel Analysis video on "Was Zigfried about to Defeat Kaiba?".
2:17 I think it’s worth noting that, if Kagemaru had set his jar of greed face down on turn 1, and sent it instead of mis polymerization, he could have won on his second turn by using it against Jaiden. Alternatively, if he had set Jar of greed and activated it when Jaiden declared his attack with tempest, Uris would have 4k mid battle, and destroyed tempest, leaving Jaiden with nothing. So he had two ways he could have won from the very beginning
There was one thing Kagemaru could’ve don’t differently to win. Set Cemetery Bomb and activate it. It’s a card that hurts the opponent 100 LP times each card in their GY at activation. Judai had 600 LP at the point it was drawn and way more than six cards stocked.
10:22 Couldn't have Kagemaru won by setting Cemetary Bomb and activating it on Jaden's next turn? Surely, Jaden had more than 6 cards in his GY and he only had 600 LP left. Also, Kagemaru was rejuvenated already, so he didn't seem to have any reason to stretch the duel any further.
This duel should be in the dictionary description for plot armour. Jaden getting a card that activates 3x, gives him whatever he wants then multiplies his monsters attack to a level that would win most duels
Because the description says "used" or "resolved" I think it has to be an effect. It can't be a monster per se, but it could become an Effect monster, use the effect for the turn, and then goes back to its original card.
Considering Yusei's, Yusaku's and Luke's infamous indefatigability, perhaps evaluate more duels with them, particularly ones where Yusaku actually drew.
I'd love to see an analysis on the Jesse(Yubel) vs Adrian duel! I remember being shocked when they brought back the Sacred Beasts with Jesse seeing them. It was interesting to see!
The fact that they gave Jaden Atem-like power while he was fighting the sacred beasts, who are GX’s god cards, which were Atem’s strongest monsters is kinda funny to me
@@wititorac not even that, the fact that it stays in your hand after it has been used if far broken than atem’s power, but it’s only for 3 turns while atem’s was whenever he needed it
@@wititorac Yami’s ability is top decking Sabatiel is literally: Add whatever card you want from your deck to your hand up to three times total, not once per turn.
I haven’t touched the card game in a few months, but these videos are always ones I make sure to watch the day they come out. Keep up the good content!
Hey TGS I don't comment much but I wanted to just tell you how much I appreciate your videos. The amount of work that must go into these is insane, and they are always a 10/10. I will forever be looking forward to your videos with notifications on. Thank you for all you do!
If jaden had banished 4 traps and hamon, he would've taken 200 damage and destroyed uria via neo bubbleman's effect, and without hamon raviel can't be summoned this turn, so jaden would shining flare wingman for game next turn against the freshly revived uria
I do understand he didn't know about kagemaru's Spell, but he DOES know that kagemaru needs the sacred beasts out for his plan to absorb duel spirits to reach completion, and Uria had a revival effect related to its summon condition, so banishing hamon seems like a good idea
Since Animation Chronicle 2023 began revealing some cards from the anime as well as Colorless, the Chaos King of Dark World, you should make a Analysis video with one of these duels: - -Joey vs Rex Raptor (S4/Waking the Dragons)- - Jaden vs Byrron, the Mad King of Dark World - Jack Atlas (Arc-V) vs Sergey - Yusei vs Tanner - Jack Atlas (5Ds) vs Syd
Kagemaru playing pre errata Uria lol. A shame Pegasus dropped that errata and the new banlist (Sabatiel got banned) only after this duel ended so he could sell next season cards. GX most accurate Yu-Gi-Oh anime
Kagemaru should have set Jar of Greed before Jaden's Heated Heart turn. He would've been able to draw pot of Greed during the battle phase, then he would have drawn his later cards much sooner
True. But he didn't know that and was saving the trap for reviving Uria. If it was destroyed and had no Traps in his hand, he would have lost a Sacred Beast. I think he made the best move in his situation.
Remembering this duel makes me angry at how mistreated the Sacred Beasts were when they were first printed. If they had those effects, they would probably still be viable today. It also sucks that their support got power crept so fast.
I always just found it pretty weird they were hard knock off designs of the Egyptian gods? And yet far more detailed? Like this would have been fine if it was built into the lore they were like clones of them. But no one ever brings this up.
On Uria getting retconned with its real-life effect; this actually happens a decent bit in the GX anime. The anime writers make a new card, but being conscious of the bandits and the real-life game's mechanics, will often make it only as powerful as it needs to be for that duel's specific play-by-play, or add activation requirements that would make it impractical in the real world. Yet due to power creep or the real-world designers having a better handle on play testing before a new set, they would often add an extra effect. Uria is one such example, releasing in Japan just three-and-a-half months after this episode. Uria just caught you off guard because unlike the examples I list below, it's anime card wiki page wasn't split into two separate versions. Guess no contributor's caught that! Sometimes the reverse happens, like with Ancient Gear Golem's Normal Summoning-only restriction that wasn't in the anime at first (though it took until Season 2 for the update to be definitive in the anime). Or Future Fusion switching from its original instant-summon-yet-tribute-lock-and-equip-destruction-downside to the familiar real-life pre-errata effect. The anime writers largely only avoid these retcons when they know the card will be recurring and need its anime effect, like Skyscraper's two-way ATK boost or Bubbleman only needing your field to be empty (man, Jaden would have been screwed in so many duels if he had to have an empty hand for that! More notably, in Duel Monsters, going into Season 4/the Doma arc, the writers changed virtually every card they didn't need to keep the original effect of to match the real-world effect (also notable for the cards in the Japanese now matching the newer Series 3 layout we in the West know).
Do you guys like the artwork on that Sabatiel philosopher stone card? I think it looks cool, neat coloring for the stone and the swirls inside it. but in terms of the stone, centered around the importance of alchemy that lets you make gold without needing to adhere to equivalent exchange (Well you pay half your life points, so you’re still exchanging something, but perhaps not as much) I feel like there should be more to it
I'm doing a D&D Campaign based in the yugioh universe, where Dueling replaces combat, but it's gonna have Jaden in it, and Sabatiel. The only way I'm balancing it is that he can only use it once per turn and he has to banish the treated card from his deck to use it, AND it can be only spells
Awesome videos as always TGSanime. I hope to see an analysis video on Team 5ds vs Team Ragnarok in the future, as since alot was going during that duel and could potentially seeing it play out different should some card be played in different orders.
A Was Antinomy about to defeat Yusei? would be great. Also, I never thought of that retcon with Uria, I guess Adrian vs Yubel/Jesse was more memorable than this
Would really like to see axel vs jaden/supreme king. Volcanic is a really interesting deck which i wish had more attention and support, but in the anime Axel's first duel he through due to orders from viper and the second was a tie so did Axel never lose to jaden
So a little thing about kagemaru's first turn, as you said, in theory its a good play to send 3 traps and keep one in hand to keep uria in hand but this is the big bad of the first season there is no way he does not know the fact that most people in this world use fusion especially after seeing an elemental hero normal monster with weak stats. Thinking about it that way, it is like if he just gave up on a way to make jaiden at least go -3 against a guy who only had 4 cards in hand... that is just a ridiculous play even if he needed uria on the field. And even if he wanted to keep a trap in hand fir uria he could have just kept mispoly to set latter if he managed to keep uria and draw a new trap, I just feel like that decision was just pointless.
Just saying for vid idea Zone vs Yusei Cause there is one moment that really bugged me, Somewhere round the mid point in there duel Zone has 3 timelords on his field, including Zaphion which has the ability to get rid of one of Yusei’s key cards, Scrap iron scarecrow. So he declares an attack with Zaphion but for some reason tells Yusei exactly what she does so he can negate the attack with scrap iron scarecrow, this would be fine if it wasn’t for later in the duel when Yusei has a realisation that he should save scrap iron scarecrow till the second attack So basically if Zone hadn’t of told Yusei what Zaphion did, he wouldn’t have scrap iron Scarecrow to negate attack of Sandaion the Timelord later in the duel, meaning he would of taken 4k damage and could of potentially lost the duel EDIT: Just realised that Yusei had Synchro keeper but in hindsight it changes nothing since he would of had to use it to negate the effect damage of Raphion, otherwise he would of lost
