I love how Yugi's "destroy the moon" plan just randomly resurfaces. Like he's so proud that he won with it once, so it's always one of his backup plans.
@@PlebNC He does it in his duel against Mako Tsunami during Season 1, using one of his monsters to destroy the (holographic) moon, on the grounds that it would change the tides of the (holographic) ocean and let him win. Season 1 kind of had a long-distance relationship with logic that way.
@@lindt393 No, he didn't. He summoned them one turn at a time and under the Japanese rules at the time there was no tribute summoning so he didn't break that rule either (they added that rule in later to make the game a lot more balanced). YGO abridged had him summon them all in one turn for humor, but he didnt do that in the original anime lol
It’s like two brothers, one a teenager and one a child younger than 10, playing Yugioh. The younger brother makes up rules to try winning while the older brother tries to explain why you can’t make up your own rules. Eventually, the older brother gives up and uses the younger brother’s tricks against him, leading to a stalemate that will only end when their mum calls them for dinner.
The funnies part is that Yugi followed along what Kaiba was saying, so it wasn't Yugi making up stuff randomly just to deny Kaiba and win - he actually thinks this is how the game works
I mean that’s basically how Duelist Kingdom DID work. Also, Pharoh can’t exactly go back on the BS rules that HE invented. Kaiba gave up three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Summoning Flute, and Monster Reborn before he adapted and made his own BS rules
It's funny that the part that Yugi objects to is not "your monster has a secret weakness to peanuts that nobody knew about until now" but was "the Lord of D talked to a dragon to make it feel ok to ride" which is WAY less bullshit
@@colmecolwag Well hang on, when did he have enough time for that. We've been watching them on the field the whole time. But we have no way of knowing Gardner's allergies. Therefore, Kaiba is a stupid doodie head, and Yugi wins!
@@tokatstorm9270 I'd also argue that by the time that Lord of D pepped up the BEWD, Big Shield Gardena would have been launched to safety! Except.... Because you have created an *infinite* number of kuribohs there is no space for the Big Shield to be launched to! He'd only be launched into the back of the kuribohs! Also launching big Shield Gardena does like no damage he's got like no attack points lol
@@colmecolwag He launched Gardna to a different position on the game mat, preventing gardna from being destroyed. Not to attack. Unfortunately, Blue eyes can fly. And thus followed Gardna to his new map position beyond his wall of kuribohs. It's all very logical stuff here.
This is the real way we played Yugioh as kids. We made up stories and whoever had the cooler card won lmao. This is so hilariously relatable and nostalgic
This was actually close to how the very first duel to ever exist went. Blue-Eyes committed suicide because its loyalty was to Yugi's grandpa. Yugi then promptly used monster reborn on it and won.
That Season One logic was insane. I remember that floating castle just falling because Yugi broke the floatation ring. Like..that’s not how a card game works just cause they were using holograms.
Duelist Kingdom was written before any actual game existed, so aside from the VERY rough rules that Takahashi wrote out in the first Yugi vs Kaiba duel, it really was just made up on the fly. In the manga, some monsters have % based dodging, it's hilarious.
For people that actually followed the show...the skit is pretty spot on about how every duel is actually make believe and no one seems to follow the rules.
@@mrbubbles6468Yugi used catapult turtle to shoot a Monster at another monster, destroying its floatation ring so it would crush the monsters standing below that couldn't run away because of swords of revealing light. You telling me Pegasus added this very specific rule to his tournament?
@@Todo776 That's because your a fool you see I was able to let my Jerry Bean know his not a real bean but a jelly bean so he's not destroyed by his bean allergy. WHAT! Jerry Bean attack is dropping how? Wait damn it now that he know he's made of sugar he's giving himself Diabetes!
But it wouldn't make sense since logically, the infinite kuribohs would still make infinite noise. Fun fact: the match would have ended when the kuribohs started screaming, since a loud enough noise can create a black hole apparently.
@@jqobsidianthegoongod9452 I was gonna say, I think one duel in the anime legitimately comes down to "the card I have keeping you from attacking me is also the only thing keeping one of your monsters from falling on the rest of them and squishing them, because you played them too close together." I'd kind of love to see a show with actual card game strategy, sideboarding against the opponent, switching between decks every arc, and stuff like that.
@@bencarlson4300 Not necessarily. It could be infinitely long but only like 2 meters high. Or it could be infinitely high but only about half a meter wide, in which case they could just go around. Or it could be infinitely long AND infinitely high in which case that does indeed present issues.
@@celestialtree8602 From my recollection of infinity in math, the rules are extremely loose, so it's really up to whoever forms the infinite wall of kuribohs, in which case (I would argue) makes it more likely than not that the infinite wall would be both infinitely tall AND wide since that would be most beneficial to Yugi.
Tbf, the opponent was playing hacks as well, saying things like his monsters can't be attacked because they are underwater or that the amount of space for Yugi's monster shrunk with every turn.
to be fair, that was from the first arc where the cardgame had any significant role in the plot, and do at that point there were still no real rules. also it was apparently based on a cardgame where that was actually thing that might reasonably happen i guess, dont know for sure, just heard about it.
@@not_avaliable The cardgame had loads of role in the plot. The plot of DK was Pegasus, or a Representative of his, beating Yugi at cards so the Big 5 would gave him control of the company. The Dueling was rather important.
Not quite out of nowhere. In the very first season, Yugi actually DID destroy the moon, or rather, he ordered his monsters to attack someone's spell card, which was a full moon. Said spell was creating a high tide on the field, buffing aquatic monsters and allowing them to hide from sight. YuGiOh season 1 was weird and full of bullshit rules.
@@blam320 Perfectly enough, it was his own Moon...like that super-weak "give ONE beast 300 ATK&DEF"-equip card...which had no business even staying on the field...
I feel like the most logical thing is that the sword that can destroy anything should combine with the shield that can block anything if they clash. That way they both win. The shield stopped the sword from damaging, and the sword transformed the shield, thereby destroying it but not really.
If I'm not mistaken an earlier portion of the manga actually does have Yami Bakura trapping people in a D&D like game and Yugi and his friends end up playing it too.
@@digitaldritten It happens before the Death T arc which the DM anime's first episode is based on (Kaiba's kidnapping of Yugi's grandpa and loss to Exhodia); it definitely woudn't be in this show though it might have been in the Toei anime which I haven't seen personally.
In Battle City, Kaiba played a trap card against Yugi that emmited a sound wave that "prevented Slifer from hearing you call out your attack". Kaiba was using very SOUND logic.
Years later and I still remember that episode where yugi had his completey normal monster stone Soilder destroy the magic card mystic moon by simply having him just stab it. Like he just decided he can do that and stabbed the fricken moon.
Yugi’s “not so fast” and “that’s not all” were so accurate, holy shit I didn’t think people could still make funny original Yu-Gi-Oh parodies in 2022. Great stuff.
Fun fact: the people writing the show and the people making the card game did not work together, so in the show, a lot of the rules are vastly different from the card game. Or at least they were initially.
@@gabri-immortale incorrect, yugi used a lighter to kill him (the guy was pouring whiskey, or some high proof alcohol, and yugi dropped a lit lighting on his hand. when he went to shoot yugi it set off the alcohol and burnt him...well technically he only thought it burnt him, he failed the game because he used a finger other than his trigger finger to kill yugi thus he succumbed to the shadow game)
@@zwillscoopchannel9689 it's not, it's like episode 2 or 3 of season 0, the guy was holding up a diner that anzu (tea in the dub) was working at (burger world iirc, i can't remember if miho was working there too)
I mean, to be entirely fair, you probably can’t safely traverse an arena of that size to read your opponent’s card. It’s probably faster to just declare every card’s flavor text.
@@absentcoder4552 isn't that what the screens are for? I know the giant screens of the stationary dual stations aren't a thing anymore, but the Dual Disk has a screen on it. Although, I guess it'd destroy the flow of the fight if you had to look down every ten seconds to figure out what's on the field..
To be fair, if they were playing like real life pro YGO players, 95% of audience wouldn't understand wtf was just happening. And the battle would end in just a minute.
remember, Kaiba had no childhood friends, beat the crap out of the school bullies and made people terrified of him before he was even 13, and that's AFTER he and his brother were at an abusive orphanage with a psychotic business tycoon as their adoptive father
Hilariously, so much of this happened during Duelist Kingdom that Kaiba himself began Battle City by making people read and obey the actual Duel Monsters rulebook. What I'm saying is that this is canon.
Which is funny because this means he gave up the ability to summon his best monsters with zero sacrifices because he thought doing so was a worthy tradeoff to not fall victim to Yugi's plot nonsense powers again.
It wasn’t so much DK wasn’t obaying the rules. They were. Kaiba just imposed his own for Battle City. Probably because he did not want to have to deal with DK bs ever again. He literally wrote his own rules.
This video urged me to finally watch YGO. I was depressed at the time and watching it became a sort of emotional crutch for me. I'm in a better place now, and YGO means a lot to me. Thanks for everything.
The funniest thing is every since the Duelist Kingdom arc, Kaiba has been following all the rules while Yugi pulls out some sort of BS along with magical cheating in every duel. There are some exceptions but feels like Kaiba and Joey were the only ones really just playing the game lol
Kaiba had cards that were more powerful than they are in the actual game (compare Card of Demise), and Joey had insane luck. Just admit it's a Shonen show and move on.
To spoil the fun the shadow realm was just made up for the American dub. OG they just dead and in the manga….. yea you think it was a horror manga with the amount of death in it.
Season 1 best season and the first gen card game is the best now it's like. Have you passed Quantum Physics - No - Well your going to have no idea how Yugioh works now. Lol.
My headcanon is that the real rules of Duel Monsters (as created by Pegasus) were always those of the ancient wizard shadow-games. The rule books and card texts can't explain every possible interaction between all different Egyptian spells and monsters as they actually worked 4000 years ago, so they just tell you the effects that you can normally expect from each card. But Yami was there and played the real thing, so he knows all the secret obscure stuff that Kuriboh or Catapult Turtle or Dark Magician can _actually_ do. He is literally playing a different game with a secret ruleset that supersedes the one everybody else thought applied.
@@digitaldritten I guess. But that can be hand-waved in any number of ways. Like, he only forgot some things. Or he doesn't remember the ancient card-interactions but finds them anyway because they exist and he has a supernatural ability to win at games.
Well, that's not exactly playing in good faith, is it? Arguably he's just cheating, at the very least the game is not fair. Why take pride in winning an unfair game?
This makes sense, as every new villain who came later seemed to know card secrets or rules even Yami was unaware of which unlocked his memories throughout the series even further
The end with the heart-to-heart talk and Lord of D helping Gardna overcome his fear of heights was the most wholesome ending and Kaiba coming up with that part makes it even more funny AND wholesome! 😂 Loved every second of this! 💜🙏
Remember when Yugi used Polymerization to fuse that skeleton mammoth with magic arrow and used it to melt Kaiba's Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon? It was truly one of the moments in history.
Is that the fight that Kaiba won by standing on a ledge so that if he lost the Shockwave would send him plummeting to his doom, thus causing Yugi to forfeit?
Ah, Pegasus's Duelist Kingdom era, where you cannot attack a monster because it's too damn dark, or the monster is underwater and fowarding time actually aged your monster.
my favorite was how he used summon skull with mekiru (however you spell it) and it conducted lightning from summoned skull through the water to electrocute something. The TCG had to literally redesign summoned skull twice just to make it go along with Atem's narrative
This is the most realistic representation of my friends and me playing Yu-Gi-Oh! as kids. We had literaly no idea what we were doing 90% of the time. And the other 10% we got completely wrong. But it was a ton of fun, so there's that. XD
I remember that we played all the games we had in elementary school exactly like that. We just made up our own rules and it was fun. And when then someone came and knew the real rules, we still liked our own rules more. xD

I asked chatgpt to generate the therapy between blue eye and lord of dragon. Here's the therapy. Enjoy. Lord of Dragons: Hello Blue-Eyes, how are you feeling today? Blue-Eyes White Dragon: I am feeling nervous, Lord of Dragons. Lord of Dragons: Nervous about what? Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Physical contact. Ever since I was reborn, I have developed a fear of it. Lord of Dragons: I understand. That can be a difficult thing to overcome. But I am here to help. Can you tell me more about your fear? Blue-Eyes White Dragon: I am afraid that if I allow someone to touch me, I will be hurt or damaged in some way. Lord of Dragons: That is a common fear, but it's important to understand that physical contact can also bring comfort and security. Let's work on building your trust and confidence in physical touch. Blue-Eyes White Dragon: How do I do that? Lord of Dragons: We can start with small steps. Perhaps we can try holding a dragon scale or a feather together and gradually progress to more intimate touch. Blue-Eyes White Dragon: That sounds manageable. I am willing to try. Lord of Dragons: Excellent! I am proud of you for taking this step towards overcoming your fear. I have faith in you, Blue-Eyes. With time and practice, Blue-Eyes learned to trust and feel comfortable with physical contact. They no longer feared it and were able to enjoy the comfort and security that it brings. Lord of Dragons: Well done, Blue-Eyes. I am proud of your progress. You have overcome your fear and become stronger for it.
Plot twist: The reason Big Shield Gardna always switches to attack mode after he is attacked while in defense mode is because the front of his shield is brown...and peanuts are brown...and therefore Gardna is indirectly affected via his peanut allergy!

They got better about this in later arcs but yes in the first season especially they also treated dual monsters like a dungeons and dragons type of RPG so that’s why they were allowed to make up weird rules like that.
This is absolutely how every child played the game. Also, great use of the original soundtrack. I don't care how many people have seen the Japanese version, the ost is still underrated.
You know, as much of a cheater as he was in season 1 (like everyone else) I think Kaiba is one of the only characters to actually follow the rules, save for a few cards that never made it into print.
I was barely conscious of Yu-Gi-Oh even existing when I was younger but this had me laughing hysterically by the end. That's how you know someone's a good comedian.
It's a rare thing to make me genuine laugh these days, but here i am, coughing and crying from laughing of how stupidly awesomely accurate this is. This day just started good! Amazing job!
I love how this desended into childish imagination, as long as the idea slightly made sense it was allowed 😂 I would love to play am actually game like this
If you liked this you should take a look at Yugioh’s Duelist Kingdom Arc. It predates the rules, so the author was making some things up as he went along.
@@GrapeCheckerBoard yeah I know it, lol how young do you think I am to not have seen it? 😂 great arc thou. I mean to be fair most arcs don't reallt fellow the rules or at least are prone to plot armour
"Then I destroy the moon!" "What moon? There is no moon!" The worst part is, this is indeed a strategy Yugi used back in season one... he ordered his own monster to destroy his own spell card that placed a moon on the field to lower the tides and give him more room to summon his monsters... Man, season 1 was a fever dream! At least the whole point of season 0 is that the other Yugi made his own rules to screw people over, but you can't bring that to a card game!
I mean…Konami could have tried bringing that stuff to a card game. But that would require having had obvious abilities tied to Monster Type like the anime did.
I love how in the show kaiba was the one using those kind of rules all the time. The thing that is stuck in my mind is the moment someone couldnt attack kaibas monster, because his monster is flying and the attacker cant reach his monster.
This brings back so many memories of me who had JUST learned how to read three letter words playing with my older brother and his deck. I had no idea what the rules were, so when he said his pot of greed(? Can’t remember if that’s what it was for sure) could kill every monster in my hand and my deck so I would lose automatically I didn’t question it. The same thing happened with Pokémon cards. Of course Lugia is able to completely destroy every card I use as soon as I put it down. That’s just how the games work! I didn’t really mind either way though, I just liked the artwork. Edit: After talking with my brother he did confirm he never had pot of greed, I swear I remember him using some sort of ugly looking inanimate object but like I said that was twenty years ago so my memory is hazy. However he did remind me (and I remember his reaction) that the ultimate card I used was Relinquished because at the time the anime was making a big deal about it. It still immediately went down though because he had the ultimate cannot be defeated card.
The Duelist Kingdom rules and how it played were wild, man. Especially that duel with Yugi and Kaiba. Who essentially threatened to kill himself if he lost the duel. Which all so he could rescue his little brother.
Fun fact: he didn't "essentially" threaten to kill himself. He *actually* threatened to kill himself. In the 4kids dub, they make up the stuff about shockwaves, but in the original Japanese he says something along the lines of "if you kill my monster, I'm jumping"
Reminds me when me and my friends played Yugi Oh in Elementary school and somebody brought cards in Japanese and since no one knew any japanese we just guessed what the card did based on the illustration. Good old times
This is so accurate, sometimes I wish the old chaotic version of yugioh was how the game actually played, or was a seperate game entirely. It'd be so fun to play a game where the players just out bullshit each other to win.

Ironically, Kaiba actually had a card that canceled out an attack by Slifer the Sky Dragon by making it too loud for the god card to hear Yugi declare the attack.
I love how Kaiba gets into this and starts having fun Also, this is pretty much how Yugioh was during Duelist Kingdom. Then, during Battle City, Kaiba made new rules and fully established the structure of the game, which became the way everyone played from henceforth.

The original DnD style Yu Gi Oh was a lot of fun. I’d love to see something like that with VR or AR and have a DM style ref to determine what makes sense
1:14 this is unironically a plot point in the Manga. Grandpa's Blue Eyes doesn't listen to Kaiba (either it doesn't want to be summoned or doesn't want to attack, I can't remember). So Yugi uses it instead to win the Duel. This is why Kaiba rips it up later, so it can't be used against him.
I remember one moment from my childhood playing Yu-Gi-Oh, it was pain in the ass because exactly of situation like this. Where you just start to make up rules in your favor and betting on the dumbness of your opponent. Haja loved it
Original yugioh was supposed to be a mix out of cardgame and D&D-type games, so this might be more accurate to the original vision than the metagame of today
I will NEVER forget when kaiba summoned blue eyes ultimate dragon and yugi, in response, summons a zombie elephant, used polymerization to fuse it to KAIBA’S monster, and then goes “because the elephant is a zombie type, your blue eyes ultimate dragon’s body decays” and that shit happens 💀💀💀💀
ngl I'm actually almost surprised we didn't get the "infinite Kuribohs oohing drowns out the sound of the Flute of Summoning Dragon" play back in season 1 with the ttrpg rules
