The entire first part of the real Yubel vs Jaden duel is an homage to historic Japanese wedding procedures. The rose, the tapestry, and the lotus... Considering how much Yubel "loves" him, it's excellent writing!
Wow, I never knew that. That's indeed very excellent writing. ^^ And to think GX gets so much hate over itself because a lot of the episodes are shitty. =(
Sorry if this turns out to be a double post saying the same thing considering it seems like RU-vid ate my first post to me, the duel actually takes a lot more inspiration from a Jewish wedding than a Japanese one, although it might be a mix of the two. I’ll try and see if I can post the link as a separate comment.
Jesse-Yubel: "I will hold onto Last Trick until Jaden gets Super Polymerization" Jaden on the first turn: " I normal summon Elemental Hero Avian and activate Super Polymerization!" Jesse-Yubel: "SHIT"
Yubel be like: *OOOOHHH NOOO!!!!* Wait a minute- you don't have a- Jayden: I fusion summon OMNI HERO GREAT TORNADO!!! Yubel: WHAT THE FCK IS AN OMNI HERO?!?!
@@dannybeane2069 No, that's its strength! It's jus too funny! I play it Red-Eyes and Destiny Hero, both cases going for Starving Venom Fusion Dragon! Again, it's jus too funny! It's better against Rokkets, though! Sorry, did I say "better"? I meant "jus too funny"! My opponent: *plays a load of DARK Dragons* Me: "I activate Super Polymerisation and Fusion Summon Five-Headed Dragon!" My opponent: "... I... but... that..."
@@CD-Gaming Oh yeah, in the actual game if used properly it can absolutely destroy boards in an instant. In the anime, Jaden/Judai's fusions all have named materials so unless his opponent runs the materials he needs or steals it, Super Poly ain't nearly as useful as when the Supreme King ran it.
7:53 In the anime, Winged Kuriboh does in fact stop piercing damage. This happened in the 1st episode of Yu-Gi-Oh GX when Dr. Crowler attacked Winged Kuriboh with his Ancient Gear Golem.
But they retconned it when jaden dueled that Darkworld night, power murder inflicted piercing and effect damage Edit: Nope I’m wrong, it wasn’t retconned there, I’m sorry
I think winged Kuribohs anime effect is when it’s destroyed you take no damage for the rest of the turn AND you take no battle damage from battles involving it
Love how the only thing super poly is bad at in the anime is actually being spell speed 4, since everone just pulls the schoolyard, "little did you know, i actually used my effect 1st"
The trap card Yubel activated just before Super poly was Chain Material, which has the effect to allow them to use any card in hand, field, grave and deck to fusion summon. Jaden chaining Spiritual Fusion off that makes 100% sense.
@@liamwhite3522 if she chained super poly to her trap, it will resolve b4 chain material, so she would need to be using super poly in a new chain which would then be done with unstoppable priority. If jaden chained to her trap, she could just set super poly & use on his turn. That effect of super poly was literally impeding the plot beat so they just forced the narrative around it. For his card to activate 1st, she had to pass priority after chain material resolves, either on resolution or during neutral main phase
In this example it can be argued that it doesn't really make much difference because it is very likely that Yubel would've activated Super Poly even if she knew about the trap. It still solves their main motivation that being their isolation, it just does it in a way that no one would've even conceived. The scene is played more for shock value than conscious character choice, which is a bit of a shame. I am curious to see how Super Poly is handled in other duels where the plot isn't so specifically guiding the duel. Even in the first duel, Jaden's goal was never to win the duel, it was simply to get Yubel to let go of his friend by giving her Super Poly and hoping that works out in the end
I also have a theory that the reason Yubel kept bricking is that she purposefully played in a way so that the only Monster to deal Jaden damage would be herself. Because no other monster could show him "love" like she could
Apparently, in the japanese text of Neospace Wave, it does not say anything about summoning monsters with specific ATK points, but instead, it reads that you summon a number of neospacian monsters equal to the number of monsters sent to the graveyard.
Well then the wiki one is stronger than the anime one, since it doesnt specify the number of monsters that you summon, just as many as you want as long as the atk is correct
I love Yubel's duels. They went beond "winning or losing". It was always all about the duel itself and in all but two cases, its objectives were reached through them.
I'm in agreement. Say what you will about her deck(personally think "she" needed to trim out a lot of the brick's and clutter), "her" objective was always met. Just thinking of who'd win between Yubel and Yami Bakura/Zorc keeps me up a night....
Even the duels they seem to be throwing there's a reveal of it having been the plan all along, which goes a long way to making Yubel seem a strong duellist without needing them to just stomp over everyone.
@@snowboundwhale6860 Agreed. Yubel plans her turns in advance, slowly moving Jaden into the position she wants. Its a much more interesting boss duel compared to one like Zarc who turbos out his 4000ATK custom OC card that has dozens of effects stapled on, then sits on it for the remainder of the duel.
I always considered this duel more about the Storyline than the actual duel itself. That whole 3rd season was a Master's Class in character backstory...
@@pn2294 that depends on if you're doing an Ensemble Storyline or an individual Storyline and, as much as I(and a LOT of other's) would've prefered the first, we unfortunately got the latter. Therefore, on just a character study of Judai/Jaden Yuki, it was well worth watching....
@@pn2294 that's true. But think about it from this way; what would the Season have been like if they'd incorporated it all into Jaden's character. Would he have done the same things as the Supreme King...
Jaden won basically at the start of the second duel. Had he used De-fusion right at the start, he would have killed the two 100 atk tokens, which means no tributes for regenating rose, which means it won't be killed to make the two rose tokens to summon Yubel. De-fusion literally would have been a domino effect!
Tbf, Yubel had a card in hand that would've forced "her" to discard a card. They toss Rose into Graveyard and it's effect will be online(I used to do it myself), as all it has to be is in the graveyard and doesn't state it had to be on the field first...
@@Blizz3112 Ok then lets look at another obvious moment. If Jaden didn't use fake hero and just used prisma's effect and Poly, Fake Hero would still be in his hand, which he could then set to use Rainbow Neos's effect to get rid of all her spells and traps, not only does this eliminate Fiend Rose which means she can't stop the 4k beatstick rainbow neos from ending game with rainbow veil, but also gets rid of spell chronicle, meaning super poly is forever lost to her.
If he had a way to destroy a spellcard he could just destroy Spell Chronicle at the beginning and inflict Yubel 500 points of damage for every card banished and that way she couldn't use Super Poly
The dub ending does seem bittersweet considering it seemed like Jaden gave his life to save his friends from their dimensional detentions (minus Syrus and Bastion who were lucky to escape that since they never dueled or were sacrificed by Brron) and make amends for causing it in the first place especially with Syrus’s reaction.
For the second duel Jaden's trap only lets him decide the fusion material but that doesn't mean he keeps the monster. Yubel activated the fusion card so the fusion monster would be on Yubel's side of the field making Yubel the winner after attacking Jaden for game.
7:55 This probably wouldn't have worked since in the first episode of gx when ancient gear golem attacks kuriboh, jaden didn't take any damage. I agree with the first one though.
@@Playmaker24 Or the anime just had a different effect like they've done loads of times. Just like how real bubbleman only get it's draw 2 if it's your only card period, field OR hand, and anime bubbleman only needs a clear field. It's how Winged Kuriboh should have worked in the first place, anyway.
Two ties, both deliberate. These two… so much against them and yet Jaden found a way to heal Yubel and begin preparations for their greatest challenge yet.
@@flyer3154Kaiba doesn’t duel anymore in GX. It was actually his own Spirit Monster, Kaibaman who dueled Jaden and won. It was to teach Jaden a lesson that defeat doesn’t mean death.
This was a pretty good duel, though it is annoying how this was basically the final duel for anyone who didn't knew a season four existed, so fans who didn't looked this up will just assumed Jaden died at the end of the duel
@@darksideofevil13 Yes I know but that episode was cut from the dub since it was basically a transition to the next season and showing Jaden 's new form
Jaden could’ve attacked Yubel’s tokens with Avian and Burstinatrix and since Yubel evidently wasn’t playing any other monsters, she would have lost earlier so technically misplay Jaden. A way for Jaden to win the first duel without Super Polymerization: Instead of summoning Chrysalis Dolphin, he should’ve summoned Chrysalis Pinny to summon Glow Moss. He could’ve then Contact summoned Glow Neos which could also destroy Advanced Dark through its effect which would’ve allowed Glow Neos to attack directly, winning Jaden the duel. I know Jaden was trying to save Jesse first, but he could’ve used this combo to threaten Yubel.
That depends on if Jaden was willing to risk keeping his Monster's in Attack position. He had no knowledge of what was in Yubel's back row, not to mention she could've just brought her Rose back out and knock his LP down lower...
@@johnnysizemore5797 he had de fusion in his hand which he decided to set in his first turn and yubel didn’t have any other back row and the seed token didn’t have any Atk/def
Yubel shows herself to be a very skilled duelist who relies on a deck that is more than the sum of its parts thanks to how she combines a number of cards that would otherwise appear useless, so it's hilarious to think that while Judai played an amazing game at the end of the season and could have won if he desired, a big contributor to his victory was that his opponent was getting so many awful draws. Regardless this is part of why I love Yubel's duels, she uses a lot more skill rather than broken cards like the last two big villains. Writing wise I find that since Yubel was using Spell Chronicle to get the cards she needed, the writers weren't thinking much about the cards she was drawing.
That’s the reason why Z-ARC in arc-V wasn’t an effective villain. He talked a big game about being the best duelist in the verse, when he wasn’t actually very skilled and just relied on overpowered cards throughout his duels. Half of the time, it seemed like he was making up the card effects as he went. Also his character design sucked.
@@HussainAkoumFilmit is also why Z- One was perfect. His deck was op but the cards weren't bullshit with 1377 effects. He had a perfect strategie and his game didn't seem like plot armor
I always wondered what possible outcomes the second duel would’ve gone to if Jaden changed the order of what cards to add to Yubel’s hand through Spell Chronicle. Say for example, Jaden choose Mystical Space Typhoon over Zero Sprite the first time? Jaden had no set cards and only Spark Blaster so even if she used MST on it, nothing of value would’ve been lost. Plus, not being able to attack twice through Zero Sprites effect would have saved Jaden some LP.
For the second duel, Jaden doesn't cheat. He summoned Twinkle Moss how he was supposed to, using Glow Moss and NEX. Neo Space Wave, from what I can tell, lets you summon Neo-Spacians who's attack do not exceed half of the attack of the monsters you sent to the graveyard from the effect. Glow Moss was still a legal choice as it was the only non-Extra Deck Neo-Spacian besides Flare Scarab that could have been picked, and it was the better choice as Flare Scarab's effect would be more detrimental against Yubel's. With Twinkle Moss Jaden has a chance to block the damage by switching it to defense mode(trap card), just ending the battle phase(monster card), or make Yubel's attack be a direct attack instead(spell card) based on what car Jaden draws from Twinkle Moss's effect. Thus Jaden didn't cheat and actually made the smartest play possible with Neo Space Wave.
@@Dash-lx4ng possibly a mistranslation. Priority goes to whatever Jaden/Judai says in JP; if he says “kogekiryokku hammbu-onaji-iika no Neo-Spacian-tachi wo Tokkushu Shokan” then it’s a legal play, since that translates to “Special Summon Neo-Spacians with equal or less than half the ATK.”
As a German, I just gotta give props to the Japanese names of Yubel in translation. The second stage, Terror Incarnate, is named "Das Abscheulich Ritter" in Japanese, which roughly translated means "The Foul/Disgusting Knight". The third stage, from memory, is "Das Extremer Traurig Drachen" which, again as a ROUGH translation barring grammar, is "The Extremely Sad Dragon", both names which play off of Yubel's emotions, where she asks Jaden if he thinks that she must be such a great monster (not the Duel Monster definition) to him.
In Jaden's duel with Crowler in episode 1 it is established that the Winged Kuriboh's effect does stop piercing battle damage when it is destroyed by a monster with said effect. Had it followed the real world card the entire series wouldn't have happened.
This duel with Yubel (and the revelation behind the Supreme King) awakened my love for the "Redeemed Demon" story troupe. So many seemingly "evil" forces on the surface spawned from good intention, albeit a bit on the evil extreme. The Gentle Darkness was corrupted later on but initially served as the force to stop The Light from annihilating everything (and resumed to do so when Jaden had control over it). Yubel was KIND OF on the same track but was consumed with anger by being separated from Jaden, so she kind of- sort of went on a path of vengence to both be with Jaden forever and stop The Light from achieving its goal (can't destroy anything if there's nothing to destroy). Irrational? Yes. Absolutely. But still~ Using the darkness as a force of 'good' (subjective) will be my forever weakness.
If you like a redeemed demon storyline, I cannot recommend Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous enough. There's a succubus companion called Arueshalae is best girl, you can recruit her and depending on choices either redeem her soul or corrupt her to embracing her demonic nature. Her romance is a strong point of the game but it's a ton of fun in all aspects :D
Yo if you love the redeemed darkness trope, Black Clovers entire overarching storyline for Asta and His Foster Brother (not Yuno) is exactly that. Except Asta is the incorruptible good with the foster bro being the evil redemptive character.
This has always been a running theme in the series, everybody has a light and dark side but the darkness isn't necessarily evil, and combining the two gives rise to a greater power. It's why the chaos cards were so powerful early on.
Keep in mind that Jaden's goal in both duels was never to win, but rather to free Jessie and the Crystal Beasts in the first duel and ultimately help Yubel in the second duel. Could he have won earlier? Yes absolutely, but Jessie was still under Yubel's control at the time and even if his spirit was in Rainbow Dark Dragon his body would've been sent to the stars should Yubel have lost which wasn't acceptable.
Being "sent to the stars" is a dubism like the Shadow Realm and Johan would have been just sent to the hell dimension. Just wanted to correct the dubism, nothing else
Jaden's goal is totally to win during the second duel though, since Jesse was no longer under Yubel's grasp and since he was told that defeating Yubel would bring things back to normal. It's only when the flashback happens right before the last turns that his goal shifts to helping Yubel
@@oxcare5 That’s not a thing you need to “correct.” There’s two different but extremely similar continuities. Not a problem. You clearly prefer the sub, and that’s cool. But you’re not making anyone’s life better by “correcting” use of terminology/names/etc. from the dub.
The best thing about the Yubel x Jaden arc is the fact it was set up & foreshadowed from as early as Episode 5, we just didn't know it at the time. Also to everyone saying Yubel would've won because Spiritual Fusion wouldn't have given Jaden possession of the Fusion Summoned monster, while you're correct about the latter part consider this: Super Polymerization was activated during her MP2 so she couldn't have gone for game that turn no matter what. Furthermore, please note that Jaden had already made his decision to try & save Yubel by merging their spirits via his Spiritual Fusion so he intentionally chose Super Polymerization to facilitate that (otherwise he'd have chosen Grinder Golem instead since he knew Yubel couldn't risk using it; the tokens come out in ATK Mode on her field). Obviously one could make the counter argument that Super Polymerization can't be responded to and he knows that (which is true) but here's the thing... he *also* knows her ultimate goal is to use their duel to fuse the 12 dimensions (by fusing 12 monsters together to make Super Fusion God) _and_ that Super Polymerization only fuses monsters on the field. Keep in mind the EMZ didn't exist yet so the field could only hold 10 monsters at this time; it was impossible for her to fulfil her plan without a card like Chain Material i.e something to loosen her fusion parameters so she could also use material from elsewhere. Given those facts, it's logical for Jaden to recognise she needs to use a setup card like that _first_ for her plan to work, which would also be the time for him to chain Spiritual Fusion without fear (he knows she won't chain Super Polymerization in response because of the whole 'chains resolve backwards' thing & she needs her setup card to have already resolved). Ultimately it doesn't matter because everything worked out in the end (unless you're a dub only guy lmao) but the point is it's not cut & dry like everyone else seems to think.
Yes, you are correct. I believe there was a line in the Jaiden/Jesse vs Yubel/Marcel duel when Yubel said that the Neo spacians replaced her as Jaiden talks to them the same way he used to talk to her.
this series has been an awesome thing to watch. as soon as I see them pop up I watch them cause I love your commentary on these duels. I actually really like analyzing these things myself but you really go into such great detail that it's much more enjoyable this way. great videos my dude!!
This is a pretty interesting series i really like a in depth look at some of my favorite anime i hope that you do more of stuff like these with other anime not just Yu-gi-oh! in general
Can we just stop and mention that EVERY SINGLE TIME Air Hummingbird used it's effect to regain life points, it's always either 1500 or 1000 and never higher.
@@androxtempest3913 yea that’s the ideal situation but in every duel he’s used Air Hummingbird did he ever go first, and even if he did he didn’t start with it in his hand
Small detail regarding winged kuriboh: while it is true that it doesn't stop piercing damage in real life, it does so in the anime - as shown in episode 1 against ancient gear golem
Throughout season 3 of GX, Yubel was just shown to be a better duelist than Jaden in all 3 duels they've been in. Their first duel, which wasn't part of this analysis, Jaden needed Jesse's help to defeat Yubel. Jaden's duel with the Yubel possessed Jesse ended with a tie, and Jaden's final duel with Yubel was never finished, and Jaden definitely needed the power of the supreme king to have a chance to win. Could your next duel analysis deal with the duels of the Tyler sisters?
I never got far in GX. What does the Supreme King power do? Is it something similar to what Atem did during the ceremonial duel with Yugi where he could just will whatever card he wanted to be drawn?
@@kyuubinaruto17 from what I remember (which may be wrong) the Gentle Darkness (supreme King) was meant to defeat the light of destruction that Jaden already deafeated in S2, and his last enemy was actually darkness so the power of SK was kinda pointless
7:44 actually, anime Winged Kuriboh protects for piercing battle damage too, that's shown on the first duel of this anime, so that's not an option. However, the first one with Zafire Pegasus is true. Could you make this kind of analisis with the second duel of Yuya vs Reiji (arc-V)? From what i remember, that's one of the few duels on that series were no one uses "Action Cards".
Love these series of videos! Have you ever considered having a Misplay Counter on them? That would be nice to see how many misplays were done by each person :)
7:50 you are explaining how the crystal beast tiger equipped with the M spell could do piercing battle damage . The rules in the animé don't work that way as in the very first episode Dr.Crowel attacked with ancient gear golem and didn't do piercing damage when it destroyed winged Kuriboh
The final Duel between Jaden and Yubel has always been like my personal favorite Duel, the emotions and the story behind it are great, and the Duel itself is a nice back and forth with both Duelists being about even. Also, on a side note, I've tried Spiritual Fusion on EDOPRO and it doesn't work like you think it would from the anime. It only lets you choose the Fusion Material, not change the Fusion Summon, so if you're opponent summons something with specific materials you can't really do anything, so for example, if your opponent plans to fusion summon Flame Wingman unless they have another copy of Avian or Burstinatrix in hand or a monster like Swamp King that can be used as a substitute, then you can't really alter which cards they use. But this is the anime, so assuming this worked, then Jaden could have fused Neos and Yubel to make Neos Wiseman like you said, but the question is would it go to Jaden's Feild or Yubel's? If Jaden then he wins the next turn probably, but if Yubel, then Jaden would be in trouble as he'd have no monsters or cards on the field, and assuming he was playing with a 40 card deck, maybe 41 if he just added Rainbow Dragon without taking anything else out, then he'd only have 11 or 12 cards left in his Deck, (with four of those cards being Avain, Burstinatrix, Sparkman, and Prisma) leaving him with few resources to deal with Neos Wiseman.
BTW, Sam. In your Yugi vs. Raphael video, you mentioned that Mako set his Umi before activating it, but I rewatched the episode recently and what he set was Torrential Tribute, which he used to destroy Joey's monsters. I think the person that told you he set Umi got confused because Torrential Tribute spouted a bunch of water when activated.
With Gate Guardian in her deck there's no way to tell what the hell she had in her deck. She might've pulled out Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth at any time, we never know
Jaden and Yubel duels were so amazing! It was a battle between partners and it really brings me emotional to see those two united as one to fight against the Light of Destruction
Judai vs Dark Johan/Yubel is one of my favorite duels in GX. I liked how the Crystal Beasts was used in this duel and Rainbow Neos was a huge great moment during the duel!
I'll say that it wouldn't have mattered if Jaden won or not in that first duel, since all Yubel wanted was Super Polymerization. Even if Jaden won the duel she'd still have the card, her last trap was just to cover her escape since she knew Jaden would save Jesse from the blast. When the opponent's only goal was to get a specific card and not whether they win or lost the duel, then there's not much reason to dissect and point out mistakes. The only thing that would matter is if Jaden would use Super Polymerization or not. If he does Yubel wins, and if he doesn't then he wins. That was the only choice in the first duel that actually would make a difference.
I love this, as I just rewatched all of GX, and only tonight found the 4th season on crunchyroll, best series in my opinion, Jaiden and Chazz are just immense personalities and possibly have the best character dynamics in the whole series', gotta love Jesse though, even though I only had him for like 20 odd episodes.
Even though jaden remember her years ago he soon found out while out of the dimensional world the light of destruction affected her blinded by revenge until she was free from it stopping the corruption.
I've just been been rewatching all of these again in a row and i was wondering when i was watching the Yugi vs Raphael duel if you cuz plz do the rematch duel next cuz it would be a shame to have one but not the other. Keep up the good work btw.
18:32 the Wiki translated wrong probably, in Yugipedia it doesnt include any matter of ATK but rather a random Neo-Spacian, since as we seen in Judai's duel against Saio (Episode 170), Judai tried to activate Neospace Wave to send Arcana Force 0 - The Fool to the GY (0 ATK) but it was unaffected. Also, let's not forget that the card's text was too small to read. Another thing I found, the set card that you thought was M Force was changed to be Prism Wall as it was a mistake in the Yugipedia that assumed it was M Force.
I so love this series! Any possibility of covering Strings vs. Yugi? or maybe even the 4-Way Battle City Placement Duel between Yugi, Kaiba, Marik and Joey? o.o
So glad I caught this notification. Thank you for what you do. I've been going through a really hard time in my life and yugioh and your videos have helped me so much. They bring me joy when I feel very little of it at the moment. So thank you very much. I enjoy your content and I look forward to more videos.
7:54 eh, that wont really work cause if we go back to Episode 1 of GX, Ancient Gear Golem, which had Piercing Damage Effect, attacked Winged Kuriboh, didn’t actually give Jaden any damage.
I see neospace wave as meaning up to the combined atk of the monsters on the field sent, like a ceiling. You could get 3 0 atk monsters, or a combo of taka equaling half the atk of the monsters sent
Yubel technically was the only villain (and yandre) to get what they wanted. Now Jaden can’t ever leave him/her; even in death. Jaden’s only way to “win” was by finally submitting to Yubel.
Technically, Jaden just chose the materials for Super Poly at the end, so Yubel would have still gotten Kluger/Wiseman herself and would have gone for game.
I would like to mention the thing you said at the end, how Jaden could have won with Wiseman. I personally don't believe that Wiseman would be summoned to his side of the field since it's Yubel who uses SuperPoly. On the card (at least on the wiki) it only says you can choose the Fusion Materials, not that you get the monster summoned, so what I believe is that Yubel got Wiseman but she didn't care and forfeited the duel instead of attacking Jaden.
32:22 I had always thought they were just playing Gate Guardian/other monsters of a variety of levels just as bricks/garnets for Super Poly. I don't doubt all 3 Sacred Beasts were in there as Yubel's deck is a decently well rounded mix of materials for those cards (wouldn't be surprised if Triangle Force was in the deck, that could have been one of the bricks in hand as the backrow was full), and they already had shown their ability to control the Sacred Beasts in the duel vs Amon (which I'd love to see a video about). I could see Yubel having them as a backup plan if everything didn't go right. Maybe a couple Sacred Beasts, Triangle Force, Delta Barrier, Gate Guardian, and two other bricky materials for the Super Fusion God. Just my thoughts.
There is something to say about the fact that the original name of Yubel's final form is actually "the extremely sad dragon", gives a very different interpretation to it.
Small correction about the ending: Yubel was the one who played Super Poly, so Neos Wiseman would have been Yubel's monster, not Jaden's. In which case Yubel probably won.
@@namesdontmattergaming2756 how? I don't remeber Jaden EVER playing a monster-stealing card in the ENTIRE SERIES. I think the only card he ever had that did anything like that was Super Poly. Which is unique and currently in Yubel's possession. And even if he had it, what would he do? Fuse another of his monster to Yubel's Neos Wiseman?
@@ToniBingi Actually Jaden did have a monster stealing trap card back in season 1 of GX when he dueled kagemaru, he just didnt play it. But even then, given how yugioh protagonist magic works and the fact super poly is a creation of the supreme king, I’m pretty sure he could control/create whatever effect for Neos/Yubel fusion would’ve resulted, taken it, and won the duel
@@namesdontmattergaming2756 I like how your argument is basically "W-well he is the protagonist, so he was gonna win!" which is not convincing dude. Yubel would've had Wiseman on the field and she already showed she plays backrow removal cards like Mystical Space Typhoon. Jaden would've needed to summon a monster (Which he didn't have) to use that trap he used on Kagemaru anyway.
@@jacobwilliams1223 1. He is the protagonist, so his chances are LITERALLY higher of winning. All of them have literal plot armor abilities that increase their dueling skills. 2. I was giving an example of a scenario similar to what Jaden COULD do, not exactly. They always give the protagonists made up cards that they play in duels to get favorable outcomes. 3. Get off my back lol 4. I doubt Yubel runs more copies of back removal cards cause this is the anime
A huge misplay by Jaden that kept him from outright winning the final duel against Yubel. During the turn when he summoned Rainbow Neos, he should not have put Neos on the field with Fake Hero (unless the anime requires both monsters be on the field for that Fusion Summon). Instead he should have done the fusion, then set Fake Hero and use it as fodder to activate Rainbow Neos' second effect. This would get rid of Spell Chronicle and Yubel's set Fiend Rose. Then he could use Rainbow Veil to attack for game.
Character: It's over, Opponent! I've activated Super Polymerization! I'll now conduct a Fusion Summon which you can't respond to, and the monster I bring forth shall destroy you! Opponent: K, but actually, before you did that, I played this card, allowing me to make use of your Super Polymerization in some way to benefit me and end the duel in my favor.
8:02 this isn't accurate, in the gx anime winged kuribohs effect has always blocked damage from effects related to the destroying attack, even before it was destroyed (examples including the pilot where crowlers gear golems piercing doesn't do anything). Given it ALWAYS works this way in the show we can assume that either the fundamental order of operations is different for such rulings or winged boi has a different effect.
Looking back I realize that Terror Incarnate's floating at 27:34 was illegal since cards returned face-down to the Deck or Extra Deck don't count as leaving the field (as the game state cannot verify their existence) unless specifically mentioned (like Serpentine Princess)
Awesome analysis and nice vid. Pardon my asking, but where did you get the clips for the anime in this one from? I don't recognize the subs, this from the Yu-Gi-Oh website or something? Mostly just curious.
I wish "Super Fusion God" was sorta summoned. For a 12 monster Fusion it would need to have a real good effect. Got any ideas for this one? ---- I think it would be like. This card can only be summoned using "Super Polymerization" using Monsters levels 1-12 as Material. 1. This cards ATK and DEF are the sum of the values of all its materials put together. 2. All Monsters with Levels cannot attack and have there effects negated. 3. When this card attacks a non-Fusion monster reduce it's ATK and DEF to 0 and if this monster's ATK is greater than the monsters DEF inflict the difference as damage.) (4. If this card has been on the field for 12 turns you win the Duel. Turn counting starts the turn its summoned.) - This is mostly due to the whole 12 aspect of the card. --- Pros: High attack ceiling, Effect negation and ATK-DEF reduction, Piercing damage. Cons: Ridiculous requirements to summon, (iffy... win condition.) Spell and Traps can still negate it. ---- Math for GX era ATK ceiling: Red-Eyes B.

@@sasir2013 Interesting but I am a little skeptical since we are shown like 3 Insta-Wins in GX; 1. Exodia Preformed by Marcel Bonapart. 2. Exodius, the Ultimate Forbidden Lord Preformed by Adrian Gecko and 3. Venominnaga, the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, shown by Thelonious Viper. Would "Super Fusion God" have a insta-win effect. Possible... I'd give it something like that at least.
