Yugi and Kaiba battle with cards, words, and financial reasoning. Sad Yu-Gi-Oh rendition: • Sad SoundTrack Yu Gi o... Second channel: @Solidusjj Patreon: / solidjj
@@christiana5453 Meta are the most hyper competitive aspects of any game like fighters but in this case Yugioh. It means their decks are the most optimal pairing of cards for the highest win rates against almost most match ups.
@@Thintech1 You forgot the option to trade. For example, my friend and I had little argument so he decided to give away all his property to my other friend so I could lose as I was about to win.
@@user-rizzwan Basically, unlike the simple original Yu Gi Oh with just monsters spells and traps, nothing that special to differentiate each monster type other than fusion monsters. But the current meta has all these weird as special monsters, such a synchro monsters and similar stuff.
Pretty sure KC isnt focused on cards as their main source of income, its just their side stuff that they do probably for advertising like red bull's street fighter invitational Correct if im wrong its been ages since i watched the show Edit: ok guys, KC is exclusively about yugioh stuff, y'all don't need to correct me any further
I like the implication that most people in the Duel Monsters world don't play meta decks, to the point where Yugi believes he could casually win Tournaments for the rest of his life, and even him and Kaiba don't play meta decks. Like running a meta deck is so looked down on that the only people who run them are people who literally have to.
I mean yugioh is built upon the concept that your deck is your entire personality, so it makes sense that anyone running meta would be looked at as something like a sell out or mindless sheep
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; equip this card to that target. It gains 300 ATK/DEF. If it attacks, it gains ATK equal to half the ATK of the attack target, during damage calculation only. From Yugioh wiki? That's what Kaiba did...kinda :P
"Yugi, you can't live off of card games." Kaiba, you literally re-structured your entire family business around selling trading cards and holographic monster projectors. Your entire life has been one long quest to make everyone in the world just as obsessed with trading cards as you are, so in a way, this is your fault.
They were just really good at addition & subtraction, measurement & geometric stuff for say building pyramids using a life size grid on the ground & using shadows to make sure it lined up 😳 LOL
I love the irony of Kaiba, the man who never got over duel monsters to the point of opening MULTIPLE schools around the world dedicated solely to the game and blowing millions of dollars blasting cards designed by a child into space, telling Yugi he can't make the game his entire life and he should focus on his education.
tbf to Kaiba, Kaiba still goes to school, and he runs the company that makes the holographic projectors for the monsters. So Kaiba managed to turn his obsession with dual monsters into a legitimate business and still make time for his education.
my man probably managed to become valedictorian in a matter of days so no one would ever bother him again and could go back to focussing on getting back his albino waifu something I respect
i think the difference is, he only intended for 1, maybe 3 schools. He eventually passed away and now the world is ruled by duel monsters. Meanwhile they were born outside the duel matrix so they had more opportunities. And yugi alledgedly isn't taking them.
The Joker, holding 10 years of tax returns and receipts while texting his ex(Harley) if he can claim Bud and Lou(their hyenas) as dependents as he got them for more then the partial custody he was allocated for them during the last tax year: "First time?"
"The police run meta!" "No way!" This makes complete sense in this world. Literally everything is solved with card games. If you want a bank loan and are denied you can probably challenge the banker to a duel.
I love the "police run meta" joke not because they play so scummily, but because it implied the Yu-Gi-Oh world is like a Pokemon world where literally every conflict is settled with card battles.
It makes more sense in pokemon, since we can assume that they're integrated as partners and tools at every level, and have real measurable effects. Your Lucario could absolutely swat bullets out of the air, and Protect might take some hits. Healing moves might let you ignore bullets and other weapons, so the only option is to have a stronger Pokémon. But what are you gonna do in Yu Gi Oh if someone pull out the blicky? Can Yugi challenge the bullet to a shadow game? Later on we see physical effects from duel spirits and such, but the original series is just a few jackasses with magic items running around, and none of them grant immunity to Samuel Colt.
@@Illegiblescream You say that but characters in Yu-Gi-Oh run across guys with guns somewhat regularly and they do pretty well for themselves. Bandit Keith tried mugging Pegasus and he just made Keith shoot himself in the head. Yugi was held at gunpoint and killed the man by challenging him to a penalty game. Bakura materialized a duel monster that proceeded to eat the armed guards chasing him. Marik not only has dozens of men with their own guns following his orders but can effortlessly control the mind of anyone who points a gun at him. Even Kaiba defeats opponents with guns by throwing chairs and fucking playing cards at them.
The funny thing about Kaiba saying the police run meta decks is especially funny when you remember that the police in 5D's specifically have decks meant to stop potential criminals from escaping from Turbo Duels, down to using Gate Blocker so they can't gain any more Speed Counters.
To be fair to Yugi, going to an unmarked island to save your grandpa's soul from a lunatic millionaire really should excuse a week of absence. Its not like crazy rich people are going to alter their schedules to be convenient for students, or that you can just let them get away with your relative's souls.
@@GrimmBones so? Riot games is solely revolving around lol and even turned into a franchise with lor and the upcoming fighting game. I am pretty sure at this point kaiba corp already swallowed pegasus' company and the official distributor for a world wide popular game. Don't forget kids, if you have something good going on always branch out and franchise it!
@@kasaix_yt I feel like you're missing the point here. I never acted like there was something negative about the fact that Kaiba's whole corporation was based solely around a card game. The entire point was just the joke I made. He tells Yugi that he can't just live off of card games, when that's exactly what Kaiba does. Like, none of that was even supposed to be taken seriously, what the fuck. It's just a dumb joke I made late at night.
Back in highschool a guy I knew was getting out of M:tG, just gave me boxes and boxes of his old cards. He had shit from Ice Age and Arabian Nights in those boxes, hyper rare first runs that never got reprinted. If those cards weren't later ruined in a hurricane I could have flipped them and never worked another day again.
@@weebjeez I get the feeling Yugi's humoring him. Normal Yugi aims to become a game designer (and is shown to be in school still around DSOD, I believe) and Yami Yugi (Atem) is an ancient pharaoh who's going to pass on soon (meaning he's rich and won't need to worry about the law as *he is the law)*
@@LordTyph except that's different. Designing a game is fundamentally different from making a living by *playing* a game. And having been rich, back when you were alive? Doesn't help in the current world, where your body has no claim to your fortune. Like what?
@@weebjeez I'm saying he's humoring him by playing along with this whole thing. Yugi already has his life in order and Kaiba will go on to obsess over the card game because he wants a salty runback.
@@LordTyph and I'm saying that what you said was incredibly unclear, and even at that point, he's not talking to Yugi here, only Atem. And Atem is the King of Games. Atem is the one who wants to just play games for a living. Because as a royal, he doesn't know anything different. It was literally how he spent his life. And this fact is the entire premise of the video: that Atem never once considered that his lifestyle was not sustainable.
"You can't live off card games"? This is coming from the guy literally transforming the world into a card-game based society and gotten rich beyond our wildest dreams from it.
But Kaiba was Rich before he changed the whole economy to center around his hobby. He got MORE rich because of that, but he never exactly "lived off of card games", not hi, not Seto Kaiba.
“And what if the banks get involved?” “I’ll challenge them to a duel!” “And what if the police get involved?” “I’ll challenge THEM to a duel!” Considering this LITERALLY happens in 5ds, that’s a legit strategy
@@DallySkyeAnims I'd imagine it's a budgetary thing, they can't afford to have every officer run the expensive meta cards. Gotta watch out for the Sheriffs that probably would though 😂
Ysee now Im just imagining off screen is Jaden and co taking all the important classes like science and history recontexualized as card games because Kaiba knows thats the only way kids are going to actually pay attention to it anymore
The idea that the police "runs meta" is hilarious... And kinda nostalgic in some mental gymanstic way, the cards and effects mentioned as well as their attitude, essentialy tell us its the same Yugi and Kaiba playing their OG decks that are outdated yet they challenge each other with them instead of seeking newer more powerful cards and newer rules. Added to that Kaibas concern for yugi, its just two friends playing their old decks having fun like the old days, but the world is still moving on, in the end yugi is still a cheating bastard and I think Kaiba will apreciate that, with yugi steping down from dueling until he gets hes life together Kaiba is left wanting a rematch, ensuring that he will still want to play with yugi in the future and that they wont both lose interest as their life moves on
Kaiba saying the Police runs meta sounds like a fat lie when you saw them run garbage like Iron Chains and Ally of Justice lol. Maybe they've gotten too lax and roleplay-ey by the time of 5D's?
I think we all know Kaiba saying all of this just to distract Yugi from the fact that Metalmorph second ability to add half of your opponent attack point only happened when you attack with it not when you get attacked
Huh yeah in 5ds you challenge the police in a duel and if you win their bikes go offline i mean it fair since they force those people too get those yellow lines on their face
The fact that the insane part of the Pharaoh's plan is not challenging the police to a duel period, but rather that he thinks he can win when he does, is hilarious.
Funny enough, challenging the Police to a duel to earn your freedom is exactly how the future of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's works. This long dead Egyptian pharaoh was- _and still is-_ *many millennias* ahead of his time!
Also not how the card actually works, lol. “Target 1 face-up monster on the field; equip this card to that target. It gains 300 ATK/DEF. *If it attacks*, it gains ATK equal to half the ATK of the attack target, during damage calculation only.”
Every single one of your videos the voice acting is perfect. It’s not 100% spot on with the characters voice but you capture the “essence” of everyone you voice and it really makes me happy
Love how Kaiba of all people even encouraged Yugi to be a better man and even accepted that friends matter and winning isn't everything. . . . Till Yugi just shut it down.
Kaiba saying “Yugi you can’t only live off card games.” After him saying the infamous… “If there is any intelligent life out there! Then let’s teach them how to duel!” On the dualities of kaiba
@@xuklysc Remember when he chained joey to a literal serial killer called chop man? Good times. Kaiba is still insane post mind crush but pre mind crush he's comically evil
@@thegoodoldays911 there was also that time on pegasus island where kaiba threatened to commit suicide if yugi doesn't forfeit the duel. He stood on the edge of the castle and stated that if yugi attacks him the shockwave from the "holographic" projection would push him off the castle.
"The police run meta" this is incorrect, the police would be running some kind of stall deck so they can wait around 40 minutes before taking any real action
This raises a sureal view of what the world of Yu-Gi-Oh could be like. If you are good enough (or rich enough to pay to win) you could duel your way out of a court room or even out of custody. But then if the cops run meta does that mean harden criminals run all the banned cards to get an edge?
Yugi runs Pot of Greed. It's pretty clear there's no enforceable banlist in this world. Though that does make me wonder if crimes committed via dueling (are there any other kind) would have amplified sentences if certain 'illegal' cards were used. That rabbit hole goes even deeper, though - what about bootleg/counterfeit cards? Since nobody seems at all familiar with what cards actually do at any point without being told or being the one using them, how hard would it be to get modified 'rare' cards printed with implausibly amazing stats or effects? What would the holographic system do when trying to read some crappy fleamarket-quality knockoff played by a kid that doesn't know any better?
Other than laughing my ass off, that sentimental version of the usually loud and energetic yu-gi-oh! bgm just brought back lots of memories ..from 2005-06... 🥺
Yugi: kaiba your company has made this card game literally part of everyday life, just yesterday a guy got out of being arrested for murder... by winning a duel
@@cannedcan9788 All I can think of is a confused boomer in a wig watching some weirdo kid with a toy duel disk slamming cards down on it while screaming like an anime character.
1:14 best joke ever! It's funny because they don't pay anything to the winner. They just give him some packs. Yes even in nationals and world's (there may be a mat and a trophy too, but that is it)
_"Well, what happens if the banks get involved?"_ "I'll challenge them to a duel" _"And if they bring the police?"_ "I'll challenge the POLICE TO A DUEL TOO" I don't watch this show so I'm just gonna have to assume this is what happens
In yugioh 5Ds theres an oppressive police state which confines thousands of people into living in poverty so that the ruling class can divert incoming magical disasters into the ghetto. They keep people there by defeating them in a card game, on a motorcycle.
@@catsndogs98 as in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Story in both the anime and manga. They actually have an economy based around the card game that surprisingly works for them.
The bizarre combination of the soundtrack from the japanese version, but still using impressions of the 4Kids dub for Kaiba and Yami Yugi was actually pretty charming!
Considering Kaiba's canonically known highest education level is middle school, this is even funnier. In theory if he went off to do Kaiba Corp business full time after Duelist Kingdom We'd have a president who never finished 10th grade.
@@someone_else2876 5ds reference. The cops played card games to keep the impoverished people in the slums while favoring the rich. It's really good, my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh series. Check it out if you have Hulu and time
Honestly I find the little laugh yugi does at the idea of going back to school too funny absolutely perfect - these videos are amazing I can’t stop watching them
Atem can charge Kaiba for every duel he loses against him. Kaiba’s pride would make sure he’d pay the price and be a repeat customer. Then he’d be set for life.
I remember summoning my Shining Flare Wingman against my little brother and then I told him he could use the spiderweb field spell to switch it to def. Aaaahhhh, good times
Kaiba is the same. He just has enough money to fix his mistakes. -An elevator to space. -A tournament and giving away high tech hologram projectors for free -Blowing up an island -An aerodynamically stupid dragon jet
kaiba had so much pride in himself, he dispel magic that banish other people to other dimension with pride alone.... not suprised he could do those things.
@@MB-yk1qk Yeah I’m jealous he gets to be shot down in airspace, because when that thing shows up, they’re going to think it’s a new weapon and shoot it down like racist cops. Shoot first, plead that it looked dangerous, and get cancelled
