    The opening duel in GX also sets up how massively bias the dorm assignments are given that Jaiden is placed in Slifer Red when a purely skill based ranking should have him in Obelisk Blue given that he was likely the ONLY one in the exam to win against a professional duelist using their personal deck and presumably dueling skill would be THE requirement to get a job teaching or even at all in a duel academy owned by Seto Kaiba of all people(Special exemption for Joey Wheeler because Kaiba would rather die than admit Joey isn't a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck).

      Seto recognise joey at the end of battle city
      For GX dorm assignment
      Crowler used his position to put jaden in the red dorm
      And also the duel academy assign their students not only on duel monsters but also other subjects
      Nonetheless jaden was technically a ra yellow in season 1
      He just refused to leave syrus and he preferred red
      I mean he could have kept the red jacket so the real reason was he felt bad to leave syrus
      Bastian also doesn't make too much sense to be in ra yellow
      He is possibly the best first year in term of grades
      He should have been in blue obelisk
      I think that many rich kids bribe to get to the blue dorm where as they should be in yellow
      This maked that many ra yellow who were suppose to be in blue were stuck in ra yellow

    Guess ending duels is next. Yugi vs atem was magical and really shows how far both have come and how yugi needs to beat atem and be his own duelist (until gx 5ds and movie ret con it)
    Gx blast from the past and Jaden Getting better after fighting a fully realized Yugi who he dueled ealry on with the mimic guy was wonderful. Jaden needed that duel to be happy again.
    5ds touched my heart the most. The group is leaving and the final duel is yusie vs jack. Both have grown so much throughout the series and the symbolism we see with yusie was something great. Music sad and growing up hit a lot more as this cast was my favorite. Yusie winning with junk warrior was the best ending to any duel as he used all his old cards compared to everyone else who changes card a lot more was something wonderful.
    Zexal had a good message in it and glad to see it.
    Arc v really felt rushed but seeing yuya get his best deck by learning to use all his cards was great. Wish it was better.
    Vrains did hit as yusaku was basically destroying a part of himself and basically ends like a hermit. Not as good as the others as many loose threads are left open

I never watched it as a kid so this was my first time, and the main plot at the end and main villain (intentionally not providing deats to not spoil) are legitimately some of my favorite of any anime I've watched.

    Before it went _really_ grim and depressing, Arc-V's introduction of Action Duels was a really unique way to include the franchise. Why? Because of how it allows the Duellist to interact with their Monsters physically and the environment of the surrounding Field, even moreso than the previous animes.

    The best thing about the Jaden vs. Crowler duel is that there is a nice flow to the season afterwards. Crowler pretty much spends the next half of Season 1 trying to get Jaden expelled or other duelists to battle him. His opinion is extremely low of Jaden until around Season 3 where he learns to respect him more. I think it was nice to have a first duel that has more of a rivarly impact where when Yugi and Kaiba dueled, after Yami in particular dispelled the evil out of Kaiba, Kaiba went into hiding and we're forced to deal with Pegasus and his cronies for awhile. After Crowler lost to Jaden, he made it his mission to try and get him expelled afterwards. I just love it that the duel between those two have much more of an impact antagonist wise rather than Yugi turning Kaiba into slightly more of a nicer person than he was before

    I agree with your list. I can't really rank them per say, they all sort of fall in the same net for me. The Yugi vs Kaiba duel is iconic but my favorite 2 opening duels are Yuya vs SledgeHammer and Jaden vs Crowler just because those are my 2 favorite yugioh shows.
    Jaden vs Crowler did a lot more for me than most people. Watching DM, I was like "this is good and interesting, but it was super serious, and Yugi was super perfect, whereas I'm just playing Yugioh after school to have fun with my friends". Then GX comes around and it is upbeat and Jaden is an actual character with actual flaws, but still does his best, and he actually acted like a mid-teen boy. I remember immediately after watching the first episode of GX on TV, I went out to the local card shop and bought as many of Jaden's cards as I could.

Also having Crowler's ancient gear golem hyped up to be a legendary monster, seeing it get taken down, also while being in front of a big audience which can easily resonate with the viewers, and just how on multiple levels this is one of the most important tests, it's a test for him to get into the academy, it's much harder for him than everyone else, it's a test not only for him to get into the school but to prove himself to Crowler, the audience, and most importantly the viewers. This is also a lot more grounded with it not involving taking down a champion with a broken card like exodia, but it's also so impactful because it sets up the stage for his life at duel academy and you just can't wait to see how him having such an amazing first impression will impact his relations throughout the series, that thought is what made me so invested early on to keep watching. This is also a duel that had little to no cheese, no exodia, no god tier dueling spirit come to backseat you, no cards magically turning into more op cards. If anything you could argue he wouldn't have won without winged kuriboh but given the story, it ends up being more of a good thing since Yugi felt like it belonged to him and if anything, winged kurioh saving him in this duel further boosts that connection. Absolutely everything about this duel was perfect making it not only one of the best opening duels but also introduction to a series

    Honestly, I remember all of the opening duels... except for the Vrains one.

  • @godsman00
    @godsman00 Před 3 lety +1

    I feel you Dylan, numbers 1 and 2 are super hard to call here, but I gotta agree that GX's is the top. Not just because of the phenomenal season 4 duel that calls back to it, but just because this duel more than any of the opening duels *completely* encompasses the feel and theme of its show. Jaden vs. Crowler simply screams GX and is so precious, not to mention that Yugi vs. Kaiba did mostly feel like a numbers game up until exodia. So yeah, all in all a great list, I simply love these ranking lists, maybe do one ranking the female leads in yugioh!

    I’m actually a mix of surprised and unsurprised DM got so high. Yeah it’s iconic but really it’s more a couple moments in it are iconic and it has memes on other parts. I couldn’t tell you jack about what happened before the three Blue Eyes were summoned, and it was kinda ultimately won by drawing cards.

  • @kratal122
    @kratal122 Před rokem +2

    Let’s be honest, the only reason Yugi vs Kaiba is even up at #2 is because Yugi drew Exodia. Which is also a testament to just how cool Exodia is, that his summoning alone brings the duel from the bottom to the near top of this list. I don’t care if he isn’t competitively viable, Exodia will always be cool.

    Gave up at the start of Sevens duel so I can't judge it really so it's top 6 for me
    6th I agree with you Dylan that Yusaku v Knight of Hanoi was lackluster it was just introduce speed duels and link summoning
    5th I LOVED 5ds but Yusei v Trudge was a bit meh. It felt a bit fast and it never hit the hype that 5ds hit.
    4th I didn't like Ark-v first duel it was the start of the I activate this spell from the air quite literally but if you try nah.
    3rd Yuma v Shark. I'm not a lover of Zexal I won't say I loved it but it grew on me. But this duel holds the fact that it was the duel that got me properly into Yu-Gi-Oh.
    2nd Yugi v Kaiba. Don't get me wrong it's not bad. It's just it went fast you blink and you miss it.
    1st. Jaden v Crowler. I'm 90% sure this was the first duel I watched for the whole of Yu-Gi-Oh it holds that for me and I enjoyed it it's just I missed basically the rest of gx and the whole of 5ds and it was the introduction to Yu-Gi-Oh for me. Not Zexal that got me into it. Not duel monsters which I never actually saw until this year. Gx. No matter what you say about Jaden you have to admit the duels he was in was badass

    For each.
    Original was good to show the rules(that are changed next season) but more so showing how the bonds like exodia can win even against 3 blue eyes.
    Gx I loved seeing Jaden win with flame wingman and really shows how fusion will be a major part of the story.
    5ds probably my favorite as yusie off the bat is a good duelist and shows how the new driving duels will go and overall my favorite first duel with trudge.
    Zexal kinda annoying but it was more real how someone would react to a ghost appearing in the duel. Duel was ok.
    Arc v a very flashy show of the new battle mechanic so it was cool. I don't like action cards but the colors were great.
    Vrains I didn't like much as it felt and showed yusaku would never lose a real duel as off the bat I knew he wouldn't be able to.
    Sevens was actually quite enjoyable seeing the new game style and how fast duels can become with yuga making his duels.
    Overall I probably like 5ds duels the most as synchro is my favorite duel type and starts pretty fast as yusie shows off his style and also two decks.

    Allow my bias to completely annihilate any hope of logical explanation for the ranking of these duels (and I still tried to bring in logic, just biased logic). I was initially judgmental of Zexal, but when I gave it a try, I really loved it. That's the experience I fell back on when going into Sevens' first episode as well.
    None of these duels are bad necessarily. I just ranked Yuya's debut duel last, because someone's duel has to be in last place and I wasn't the biggest fan of Yuya as a character. As VRAINS progressed, I grew appreciative of Yuya's desire to make people smile and entertain people with his dueling, but I was anything but entertained by the end of Arc-V.
    Meanwhile, I relate to Playmaker, so that's why his duel is 2nd. Yes, you read that right. I relate to Playmaker. I'm the mythical "can relate" person and it's nothing to brag about, really.
    Yami Yugi's duel is 3rd, because obligatory nostalgia and also because DM sort of saved my life. I can't say my life was ever in any serious danger, but I did contemplate suicide at one point and DM's on-going status convinced me to put down the knife.
    5D's didn't fully capture my attention until Aki was introduced and the early episodes of 5D's really weren't that great to me. It was at its best when the Signers/Dark Signers plot kicked in.
    Yuga and Judai's first duels are in neutral territory. I have no strong feelings toward either of them, but I also don't have any particular reason for their placements.
