    It's wild to think this series is over. I remember first finding you guys and enjoying the content even tho I fell out of love with Yu-Gi-Oh over 10 years ago. When you started this series, a wave of great memories came back and even made me find my old cards and see what I still had after all theses years.
    Thank you both for this awesome series. I hope we see this series again in the future, but even if we don't I think we can all agree that you guys put out one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh content series the internet has ever seen!
    Also, shout out to Johnathan Todd for being a bro and doing that opening bit. 10/10, would use Pot of Greed again! If only I knew what it did...

      as u said, extermination only banishes cards from the main deck, not field/hand. and when he activates it, he already has sakaretsu armor face down next to swords, he says "i dont have any in my deck" he doesn't actually say "i'm not running it in this deck" what he said just implies that the only sakaretsu he had was already outside of the deck, and when u see it in his hand it's because he bounced it back to his hand with giant trunade.
      tldr: he already has sakaretsu on the field when nobleman is activated, it's only shown in his hand because he used giant trunade to bounce it back. and what he said doesn't mean he has 0 at all, it just means the sakaretsu he has was already outside of the deck

    My best memory, oddly enough, was the time during a locals tournament where I had my deck stolen. I was only an elementary school student at the time, and I was devastated after spending so much time opening packs and crafting that deck with my best friend. But the part that sticks with me to this day is what happened afterwards: A few of the older kids in the tournament, and even one of the employees of the shop we played at, gave me some of their own collected cards that matched cards from the deck I made. The owner of the shop even sold me an Invasion of Chaos "Dark Magician of Chaos" for $1, to replace the one I had lost. Even back then, the community was so great, and I have many fond memories of my times there. And, I still have that DMoC at home, under lock and key. Haha

    This series has been so fun to watch! Shame it's coming to an end, but I definitely second some of the comments I've seen asking to somehow continue or tweak this concept going into the GX era so something of the same spirit can continue. I think it'd be really fun to see!
    As for a favorite classic Yu-Gi-Oh memory, the first time Zane Truesdale brought out his Cyber End Dragon has taken up space in my brain for YEARS. That Duel in general is great, because it really established Zane as being just as strong and dangerous as he was hyped up to be, not to mention a solid way to show that, while Jaden is a great Duelist (and has a fair bit of protagonist plot armor), there's still quite a mountain for him to climb. But yeah, the Cyber End Dragon sequence is so cool, and the visual they used to illustrate its arrival were so iconic that it eventually became its own actual card! That's how you know a moment is legendary, when they immortalize it into a card for the actual game (and not too bad of a card, at that!).

    My all time favorite classic Yu-Gi-Oh memory has got to be playing before, after, and during school (recess). Those long winded duels that were such crazy back and forths, the total lack of synergy, the insane 200 card decks, making the worst trade deals in the history of card games because neither of you understood the cards, the genuine enjoyment of not caring how amazing or awful a card was because it looked so cool or was holographic! No one focused on a meta and regardless of a win or a loss we all just had a fun time. I miss just enjoying Yu-Gi-Oh for what it was.

My favorite Yu-Gi-Oh memory is a series of duels I had against a cousin of mine. He had spent a few hundred dollars for a gem-knight deck he found online, and throughout a week's worth of duels, he couldn't beat my scavenged up Dragon deck I had built with old cards. Goes to show you can't always pay to win!

    My favourite Yu-Gi-Oh memory has to be playing with my dad when I was a kid. We used to play pure structure decks like Dragons Roar vs Blaze of Destruction and my dad always got frustrated because he thought the card effects were too complicated. He'd always say things like "Well I was going to attack your monster but I'm guessing because you have 3 cards in your hand, it's the weekend and the wind is blowing from the north I'm not allowed to, so I'll just end my turn".

    The best part of the series is definitely the anime moments of the series. Paul would have his back to the wall and pull out some sick anime combo out of no where. Reminds me of the classroom duels that I would have in high school. We would find some way to play yugioh, whether we had to hide our decks in the drawers in our lab or finish the work so early that the teacher would just let us play. Loved the back and froths the 5ds era decks (non-competitive) had where duels could take the whole lunch break to finish.

I beat him and picked a single pack that contained an Injection Fairy Lily. He already had one, so he was pretty stoked for me too. Just one of many good Yu-Gi-Oh memories back in the day! Thank you guys so much for this series. It has literally been a trip down memory lane and has been a blast to watch!

    My favourite yugioh memory is when I was 6 years old, in school. The teacher made us a relax corner filled with some toys and books, and if the class was good we were allowed to spend 15 minutes at the end of the day there doing whatever we wanted. One day I was digging through the toy box and I found a strange thing I'd never seen. It was a yugioh card, a beat up waboku. I was instantly enthralled and asked her what it was. She had no idea but said I could keep it if I wanted too. That single moment has sparked a lifetime of love for card games and the anime. Thank you so much for this series, it was a joy to watch since I never was able to open these packs myself

    My favourite classic Yugioh moment was seeing the orginal Kaiba/Yugi decks for sale. I didnt know you could play the game in real life back then, and due to that one day, I've had a long and happy life filled with making new friends, being part of an awesome community, and having a hobby that has gotten me through the hardest parts of my life and always left me with a smile! 😊

    This series was a fantastic trip through memory lane. Loved seeing how the decks, and the game, evolved with each new set. Really looking forward to whatever comes next!
    My favorite Yu-Gi-Oh memory was getting my Duel Disk. It may have torn up cards like nothing else, but as a kid, I didn't care. Me and my friends would use those to duel outside all the time, without the cards blowing away in the wind.

    This being the 'final' episode feels insane to me(In a good way). You guys at APS got me back into keeping up with Yugioh and your videos are a lot of fun, but Rare Hunters is what got me back into the physical game and after like the 5th or so episode came out, finally gave me the push after all these years to try and get my friends into Yugioh too! And... we're doing it! A few conversations and a game of speed duels later we've all bought the recent structure decks and are meeting this Wednesday for our first real game! I love rare hunters so much and to me embodies that TRUE childhood yugioh feeling of improving your deck and fine tuning strategy over multiple games and booster purchases just like in the old days, for me anyway, that's what it was like. I hope we get to see a GX season of Rare Hunters, idk maybe you guys are the shadow riders or HEY maybe the rare hunters are just solo now and serve Kagemaru or Sartorious who knows! Either way, looking forward to it!

    So my favorite classic yugioh memory is actually related to the GBA game, “stairway to the destined duel”. I remember I grinder that game so hard, not knowing which packs give which cards, trying to get strong staples such as pot of greed, graceful charity, etc. and winning the type specific tournaments. One day I got back home and I saw my little brother with the game boy in hand, crying. So I asked him what’s wrong? He said he accidentally deleted my yugioh save and he felt so bad for that. He didn’t know much about how to play yugioh, but after raging a little bit (well, I was a kid as well haha), we restarted the game and tried getting all the cards back, along with me explaining to him how the game works : )

    I remember deciding to go to my first Regional tournament 17 years ago. I had only played "Kitchen Table" Yu-Gi-Oh, so I had no idea what I was walking into. I was eliminated first round by a guy with a 222 card deck. I stayed and watched the die hard players go at it for a while, but left a little wiser and continued playing a few more years before putting my cards into a binder and holding a place of honor on a collectable shelf. My favorite cards I took to the tournament were Neo Aqua Madoor, Enraged Muka Muka, and Gren Maju da Eiza. While not the best cards, they helped me win duels versus my friends so many years ago. Enjoyed the series, hope to see something similar in the future.

    My favorite memory was participating in my first ever local weekly/mini tournament. Back then, we only had one game store that held these meetups for kids & teens for every popular geeky franchise. It felt so surreal getting to meet so many new friends and to trade and battle with them. I didn't end up placing high in the tournament that day, but I did get a pack that had a super rare in it and just had a great time in general, so it was all good. I'll forever miss that game store...

    My favorite moment as a child was telling people that their cards were fake and when I won a duel, I told them they lost because you can't believe in the heart of the cards because fake cards have no hearts😂 Thanks for the nostalgia trip this series.

    Love the cameo of Marik at the start and LOVED the overall series fellas! It was refreshing to watch each week and was still straightforward enough for an older anime fan like myself to still follow (as I only got into the physical card game again once duel links came out).
    As for my favourite yugioh memory, honestly it’s ironically when Joey is attacked & withstands Ra’s attack in battle city. The art style during the attack while he’s being fried alongside the background Egyptian theme, was so cool to me as a kid. I rewound and re-watched that section of the vhs tape numerous times as I used to tape live cartoons via the VCR back then on Saturdays 😅. Such a simpler time. Thanks again for having so much fun with this series! The nostalgia was contagious 🙂

    My favorite YuGiOh memory can't be narrowed down to just a single moment because for me its the whole experience of growing up with it. Watching an episode in the morning while eating a poptart or some toast before going to school, getting to school and talking about the anime with friends, grouping up at recess to show off what cards you got and trading for what you thought looked cool. Hearing that beginning part of the original anime's theme still gives me chills and i will never not be hype when Yugi says ITS TIME TO DUEL. So whether its the time spent dueling in class and at recess with friends, the time spent in my room on the floor with my cards out watching the show and copying what Yugi did, to begging my mom to buy me a new pack while we were checking out at the grocery store. Yu-Gi-Oh! holds a special place in my heart and will always be able to bring out my inner child. And to Team APS, thank you for all the work you've put into this amazing series and channel, it's truly appreciated. It's always a blast to watch you guys and I look forward to what's next. Good luck to everyone trying to win the statue! Pass turn.

  • @alfredorodriguez-robles5681

    My favorite classic Yugioh memory is trading a neighborhood kid my calculator for a GAIA THE DRAGON CHAMPION. I would have to say Yugioh introduced me to the bartering system before I even knew what that was! Superb job, Alec and Paul! You guys put on quite the entertaining show. I always love seeing old school yugioh being brought back to the cultural zeitgeist. Nostalgia is one hell of a dopamine rush! And to see those cards being used in a format that was ever evolving was fascinating to see. Thank you guys for all the hard work you put in your videos! Can't wait to see what y'all do next!
