One of the most memorable and passionate duels in Yugioh history was Shun VS Sora in the Maimi Championship tournament. What exactly made this duel an all-time favorite for so many of us? I try to answer that question in this video. I hope you all enjoy my breakdown!

@napsterking 3 года назад

You also got to recognize that before this duel, the viewer had no idea that Rank-Up-Magic would show up. The viewer had previous knowledge that RUM cards were a Barian/Astra power or a card created to fight against the Barians. The only RUM card Humans (Sans Yuma) could use was Argent Chaos Force, and it put a big strain on the humans body. When I first saw Shun activate a RUM, I remember me and the chat freaking out. It meant that anything from the previous series were on the table. And guess what, about 13-15 episodes later, D-Wheels show up. This was probably the start of the prologue for what was to come later in the series.

@seqka711 3 года назад

Yeah, when he used Rank-Up Magic I was SO surprised and delighted. It made me wonder if we'd even get accel synchro or super poly. And we did get super poly, as well as Jack doing a double tune which was cool. Arc-V had a lot of problems, but there's no doubt that it had a lot of good ideas.

@PathBeyondTheDark 3 года назад

The build up and framing add so much to it as well. Had these two characters not been previously introduced as suspicious without any hint of a connection, had there not been the twist heel turn, and had they not crafted the confrontation around the atrocities of war without pulling any punches (the symbolic destruction of the field, essentially collateral damage, is truly grisly and disturbing) then it wouldnt have the same impact.

@toony1232 Год назад

Tbh, Sora stays hedonistic but in his case it's kind of like a virtue? He values his entertainment way more than the institution that stole his childhood from him, no matter how much they drilled loyalty on him, which was the whole reason why he stayed a wild card even after it was made clear that he cared about Yuya and Yuzu more than he cared about whatever mission Academia gave him or his petty revenge against Kurosaki. And what Sora derives his entertainment the most is being with Yuya and Yuzu, because he had no friends in Academia due to the dog-eat-dog environment he was in. He still stays insufferably arrogant but his loyalty to Yuya and Yuzu healed most of his insanity as shown on that duel, it's probably the ONLY time Yuya brought someone over through the power of EGAO in a way that makes sense

The intensity of his Voice Actor when declaring basically anything angrily. The monsters and duel itself. That duel was simply amazing, no other way to describe it. To me, this was the 2nd best duel in all of YGO for me. Episode 24 made me a huge fan of Shun, but from episode 33 onward he became my favourite YGO character ever. Long Live the Raidraptor King! *Still salty at how the ending really screwed him and Yuto and Ruri over though*

@Wyrm7774 2 года назад

Yuya vs Sawatari prior is underrated as well, it nailed the whole entertainment and action duel idea, with two characters who pretty much became frivals by the end of it and oddly nothing on that scale was seen again?

You're probably right Darian, coming off the Yuya/Sawatari duel really helps this stand out more due to the huge atmosphere difference, you went from light hearted and fierce fun to simple anger and destruction, goes from one end of the scale to the other.

Great video! I don't know if it would be worth a whole discussion, but the duel in episode 27 of Vrains between Brave Max and the Knight of Hanoi was (in my opinion as a former competitive player) a brilliant commentary on the state of the yugioh game. Both players brick (open a bad hand), try to psych their opponent out with tough talk, and the Knight of Hanoi only loses because he invests all his resources just to end on a good board turn 1. It's not just a funny duel, but also a really interesting critique on how absurd the ygo metagame can get ^^

What made this fight so good for me is that the 2 decks i really like for this era of yugioh are played against each other. The story behind it adds to the spice. Then the characters wielding the respected deck were one of the best of the entire season.

@flameingo1 3 года назад

This was also so good because I think it’s fair to say shun was a lot of peoples favorite character or the one they were most interested in at that point already and the duel surprisingly (at that point) makes you side with him and most everyone wascompletely down to

@WeePinkGin 3 года назад

I remember fondly all the theories that came about with the hints the show writers had been gently dropping; if they were going to hint to GX Academia orZexals heartland, all to come to head with this duel. While the series had so many flaws, the first year of Arc-v still remains to be the most exciting year of yugioh i've ever experienced.

Yugituber Noajenk really made me appreciate these sort of analysis of the duels that took place over the yugioh franchise so seeing a video like this from you is an awesome treat

@phonepup06 3 года назад

Great video, Dylan! I totally agree with your points. I think the combination of the...lack of knowledge of these characters (they’re both pretty shrouded in mystery at this point) along with how we’re pretty much told to root for sora. These characters are pretty parallel to each other, so that adds to it also

@StarGazerTom1991 3 года назад

I think I speak for everyone when I say that exactly the duel covered in the video is the most intense a duel has ever been in the yugioh franchise. So much revealed, so much action. I hadn't been hyped like that since Yami Marik vs Joey in Battle City.

@sirknightjcb9310 3 года назад

Watching this video reminded me of how perfect this was. Granted, even though I was kind of spoiled concerning of Sora's true self, the action, performance, call backs, and story of the rest of this episode was so well mended! It made me love Shun's character and Sora's absolute psychotic ego. Thanks again for a fantastic video!

Arc V’s first arc was so good. It really build up the lore & mystery of the multiple dimensions. I was soo invested by this duel, the introduction of Dennis & yuya vs reiji. Only until halfway into the second season did my hype start to die down (that second arc felt so long). Man I love the start of arc v.

@gameking8809 3 года назад

Honestly one of the best duels in the franchise as a whole. The entire build up over several episode made this even better. The music, the plot, the action, its all just so perfect. Definitely in my top ten for the entire franchise.

@thegreatjackson6762 3 года назад

Action field interaction was at its peak as well. They should have kept using em in the show.

@ordinaldragoon 3 года назад

Ehhhhh, I’m not a big fan of the action fields myself. Actions cards just feel like a cheap cop out at times. Everyone getting cards like Miracle or Evasion 90% just made it a real turn off. But this duel I’d rather give it a pass due to the tension and action that it has.

The way Shun's and Sora's deck functioned was a reflection of their story: Rise Falcon dying, followed by the activation of Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force that summoned Blaze Falcon, symbolizing how no matter how many comrades fall, another will rise in his place, the resistance cannot be taken down. The activation of Revolution Force, taking the Blaze Falcon and using it for Revolution Falcon, as he said that they will always take their comrades back.

Something that's especially sad? This was written by the same guy who became the head writer from season 2 onward. Knowing how _that_ resulted in a wreck of all of the trains EVER, it's strange and tragic that so many good things turned into such a watered-down waste.

@andrewd.8560 3 года назад

I wont really defend season 2, but the show was supposed to get better for season 3 but all of the shows budget and time got cut to make dark side of dimensions hence why 2-3 seasons worth of content is condensed into 1 season and why I think that the Professor was never meant to be a twist hero but they just did it because they diddnt have time for his arc
