so, why does everyone hate GX anyway?
It had better character development than any other arc, by far.
It didn't jump the shark like card games on motorcycles.
Alexis is best girl too, big boobs and fit body.
Personally I just fucking hate every character design that isn't Asuka. The actually writing and story was pretty good.
>>156631173
>It had better character development than any other arc, by far.
>Kill off all your main cast for a season after replacing them with new characters
>Good character develoment
...what
>It didn't jump the shark like card games on motorcycles.
>GX didn't jump the shark
Okay, now I know you're just shitposting
The story was dumb and made no sense half the time. It was like the writers threw darts at the wall.
>>156631341
I find Jaden more tolerable than Yugi. He loses clean to Zane fairly early, while Yugi's first loss is against Kaiba threatening to kill himself, which makes Kaiba a whimp.
The descent into darkness and return is far better than anything they came up with the entire series. Chazz is decent too. Zane is cool and his obsession with winning driving him insane feels real.
>>156631173
>gx didn't jump the shark
Wait, so CARDS GAMES FROM OUTER SPACE wasn't ridiculous to you but CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES was?
>>156631173
I liked it till the actual plot kicked in, then it became a cringefest.
>>156631479
They probably were making it up as they go. Thats why theres plenty of stuff that got introduced and then never expanded on.
>>156631173
>It didn't jump the shark like card games on motorcycles.
Card games
in space
super powered cards
by space rays
that turned Jaden's ace
into a
yandere slut
Don't get me started on the dino power.
>>156631173
>GX didn't jump the shark
Requesting that image. You know the one.
>>156631514
as opposed to card games from ancient Egypt and Atlantis?
It's tolerable as long as it doesn't actually fucking require to ride a motorcycle to be on it. That's fucking stupid.
I don't care about the crazy origin, but you need a bike to play?
>>156631705
This one?
>>156631173
Only reddit and youtube comments hate it. Anyone with taste knows it's the best, the same as anyone with taste knows Digimon Tamers is the best.
>>156631619
>Mfw just remembered Dino DNA
>>156632739
Thats the one
The Tag Force games were great, as well as Spirit Caller for the DS. It was a subpar season but it had potential for good character stuff that was explored in games.
Plus all them cute side character girls, especially the male (female) who turned busty later on.
>>156632739
>A Satellite powering up to wipe out all life on earth
>The spirit of the main character's card flying to space to stop it, while the duel is still going on
>Aided by the spirit of one of his friends, who is a dinosaur because he had his tibia replaced with a dinosaur bone, giving him "dino DNA"
>While the satellite is held back the spirit of the sister of the big bad
And this is only the second arc of this series.
>>156632929
5Ds Tag Force games were better.
>>156632089
You say that like turbo duels were the norm
Who fucking cares about "development", all the characters were downright obnoxious, nobody was actually likeable.
I will admit that Asuka is fucking best girl though, but her jobbing is just another proof of GX sucking
And the plot was fucking shit too, the first seasons were just season 1 copypastes and then the supposedly "good" later half is nothing but asspulled shit about Judai is literally a dark version of Jesus Christ and he BTFOs literal cosmic entities, completely going against the idea of the card games being based on the fucking ancient egypt shit
>>156633874
But you can mindbreak people in them.
>>156634100
>completely going against the idea of the card games being based on the fucking ancient egypt shit
The first anime already did that in the Orichalcos arc by introducing the Duel Monsters Spirit World.
>B-BUT MUH NOT CANON
Canon to the anime, and thus GX. The DOMA arc established Pegasus as alive, when he died in the manga. Pegasus appears in GX on multiple occasions, so DOMA is canon to GX.
Why did they kick the math&logic guy out of the show to replace him with some dino DNA nigger?
Never made sense to me.
>>156634347
Kids like DINOSAURS more than math, and it's easier to sell DINOSAUR-based cards than math-based cards.
>>156631173
I liked it a lot, much better than 5ds.
A lot of it because its basically Devilman: the cardgame.
>>156634347
>>156634442
No, Dino DNA was only there to replace the fat kid from the first arc.
Misawa was still around even when Kanzan got introduced, while Hayato got written out before his introduction.
>no Kaiba
>no Kaiba replacement character
Into the trash it goes
GX is the third worst YGO with Zexal as 2nd worst as ARC-V miles in the dirt as shittest.
Prove me wrong
pro tip:you cant
>>156634442
Also, it wasn't a math deck, it was Science period.
His first monsters were all molecule themed, with Hydrogen and Oxygen monsters making Water. Then he got dragons based on minerals(Carbon and diamond) and a lithmus test. And one math guy. Then he got magnetism.
>>156634700
But it had two Kaiba replacements
>>156635009
Not saying it isn't.
Just saying that his deck isn't just math based. He only had one math monster.
Hes rumored to get new support in the Duelist Pack: Battle Legend which is brand new cards based off of select DM and now GX characters with Cyberdarkness Dragon
Though the "Mai" support is really based on and for the Tyler sisters from Arc-V.
>>156631173
I like GX.
It's got flaws but it has Manjoume.
>>156634347
His gimmick (six different decks for different situations) was too hard to do, and he never recovered from being beaten by the Amazon.
Season 2 looked like it was going to do something interesting with him when he joined the Society of Light, but then the writers stopped giving a fuck about him.
>>156632929
I dled Spirit Caller and played it nonstop for the last 2 weeks. Best yugioh game out there. Only the post game spirits felt dumb. The starting is slow, but it gives you a chance to have fun with those cards you can't play later due to the fast pace of the game (eg Ultimate Great Perfect Moth).
It has a shit ton of opponents with different decks each too, which is great for variety. Underrated game due to its lack of success and Konami flooding the market with 2 games a year.
>>156635023
Left was arrogant but a shitter
Right was a good duelist but an emo faggot who turned out far more irrelevant to the story than anyone could have expected
A proper Kaiba clone is both arrogant and good, like Jack
>>156633160
well clearly more insane that magic jewelry containing ancient egyptian spirits that somehow are great at playing card games and child billionaires who turn a weapons company into a one that produces expensive holographs for said videogames
>>156633574
Again, I can pass on weird backstories, weird powers, but at the end of the day, none of that made an actual difference to the card game.
Fucking motorcycles? Why? Why would you ever play a fucking card game on it?
CHAZ IT UP
>>156635537
Because Kazuki Takahashi had the idea that it would be cool to duel on motorcycles riding on the Nazca Lines.
And it was from that idea that the Dark Signers were born too.
>>156634100
>completely going against the idea of the card games being based on the fucking ancient egypt shit
That ended in the same exact moment they also became based on ancient Atlantis for no good reason.
>I will admit that Asuka is fucking best girl though, but her jobbing is just another proof of GX sucking
Yeah her deck is shit and her duels are shit. She's pretty strong in Spirit Caller though. Shame she's such a sidekick. But Mai jobbed way more than her in the first card, despite having better cards and a rather fun deck.
>>156634347
Dinosaur deck with Hydrogeddon, Oxygeddon and the 2 3000 tyrannos is fun.
>>156634700
Kaiba's in it, hello Kaibaman.
Zane is a great character. Top duelist, stomps Jaden in their first match, the graduation match is still one of the best in the series, eventually becomes too used to winning, goes pro and faces the harsh reality which turns him ''dark''. One of the best character development the series had.
Chazz from snob cunt to ethernally seeking redemption is predictable but acceptable.
>>156635649
Well it's one of the worst shark jumping I have seen. Most series eventually do it, but noone was as bad as this one.
Then LittleKuriboh turned it into a meme and that sealed it.
>>156635846
>hurr i'm so bored of winning
>oh fuck i actually lost
>welp, time to become a literal sociopath, that will fix everything
And Aster Phoenix was a shitter who shouldn't have been able to beat Zane
>>156636025
If you have ever been at the top in something, like sports or school and eventually leave your familiar environment to realize you are no longer at the top, you'll understand the internal drama. Clearly you haven't. Identity crisis derived from sudden failure after regular success are rather common.
They go to school to learn how to play a card game. That's a stupid premise.
GX had its "quirky" moments, and I won't lie there was some pretty dumb shit. However, much of the character progression and development was extremely solid, and the duels were almost always at least enjoyable. The characters were also extremely memorable (except Misawa) giving us the dramatic edgelord known as Hellkaiser, the ultimate tsundere Yubel, DINO DNA, that black guy with the duel disk gun who played volcanics, The King before THE KINGU was ever a thing, the always lovable Manjoume, fan service in the the form of Asuka, and many more (if I listed them all here it'd take even longer.
However, that's not to say it had its issues. The first 2 seasons were extremely slow, its the ygo anime with the longest running opening theme (albeit a good one but it lasted way too long before being changed), and some of the cards it spat out were just God awful (see Arcana force, cyberdarks, roids, and neospacians)
>>156631173
GX embraced being weird and or goofy even in its darker arcs.
Arc-V tried to have a serious plot and fell on its face halfway through, then forced a bunch of out of place goofy GX references in the GX arc.
>>156635325
>>156632929
I had Spirit Caller and even through it was fun, it got boring pretty fast. All the NPC used similar cards and important duelist like the villains used generic cards not used in the Anime. Also the story mode only got to the beginning of Season 2. Overall a mediocre game that i gift a friend later
>>156631173
Jaden has by far the dumbest hair in Yu-Gi-Oh, simple as that
>>156634331
I remember some anon telling me you can get into Sherry's pants, am going to play it only for that I have the biggest hard-on for Oscar and her clones.
>>156638762
You end up fugging almost every girl you partner with in the Tag Force games.
One of the few exceptions is Rei, where you're just helping her.get with Judai, but she has an alternate story where she likes you instead.
>>156638944
>Rei
Also niiiice
The best girl in Tag Force 6 was Pearl due to her riduclously OP Wind-Up/Ancient Gear deck
But Tasha with her Six Samurais is always a close second. It got to the point where I spent more time dueling the NPCs than the actual characters
>>156631173
I would have liked it more if it didn't take place with the retarded school backdrop.
Also
>duel school
>not jumping the shark
If they had all just been local competitors that saw each other often and were trying to go pro, it would have been 10x better and could have had the exact same plot.
>>156640759
>duel school is jumping the shark
How? A children's card game is the most popular sport in the first series where egyptian magic people battled each other.
Motorcylces is full retard.
>>156640926
How is it not? Do we have video game, football or baseball school? No, you do that shit on your own goddam time and if you're good enough you'll get scouted (or maybe you won't at all). It's full retard that a popular game with minimal chance of going pro has a fucking academy with thousands of students who are more than likely wasting their time. It could have been a series about the harsh reality of trying to go pro in the dueling world, whereas in the first series the characters were almost always drawn in to tournaments because a) they made them or b) shadow games, a less over the top/mystic version would be cool. but they had to fuck it up with jaden not studying for duel tests. why not him just messing up his NORMAL school life because he's too busy playing card games or ditching school for tournaments?
I'd believe motorcycles more because an insanely popular game that's played for people's viewing pleasure might one day have to ramp shit up/throw in curveballs in order for people to stay interested. Why watch a track meet when you can watch ninja warrior? I'd watch people play chess on motorcycles on a death trap of a track. I wouldn't go to chess school.
>>156640759
>not going to duel college
Shiggy diggy
It's kinda ironic this is posted now, cause I just started rewatching GX. Everything about is so weird, and I love it. The characters are all great to me and their little arcs are just icing on the cake. It helps that, while not the best deck, Jaden had the coolest deck archetypes with his superheroes.
>>156631173
bcuz is the season 2 of digimon, shit
>>156641365
>Do we have video game, football or baseball school?
Those arent worldwide, everyone plays games like duel monsters.
>>156633534
>Seeing all those summon cutscenes for the first time.
Good shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDQ8hu26aXU
Still wish we had gotten the anime versions of the Meklords
>>156631173
it was much better than 5d
fuck synchros and fuck turbo duels
>>156631173
First two arcs were pretty dull but the 3rd and 4th arcs while good completely sidelined all the old cast members apart from Judai and they felt completely irrelevant powerwise apart from Kaiser. I saw a lot of the GX flaws in Arc V, particularly how they just kept introducing more and more new characters instead of developing old ones.
5Ds > DM > GX > Zexal > Arc-V
Ironic af, that i wanted to download zexal for the sake of cringe, and noticed that nyaa went allahu akbar, then a yugioh post when i enter /a/, fuck my life
>>156642442
switch 5ds and DM and you are gold
>>156634471
Yubel's final form is Nagai as fuck
>>156642606
>All this nostalgia support lately.
>No Yubel support
Disappointed.
>>156631173
I keep going back and watching the episodes, filler aside it's actually fairly good. The worst of it has to be Johan replacing Sho, and a lot of the duels later shifting away from Judai's original friends and towards the others that get introduced. That aside, I enjoy it a lot.
>>156631173
Judai was easily best MC
>not an intolerable beta
>didn't leave dueling to proxies
>proper character growth
>least asspulls made by a main character
>grew out of an edgy phase
>great set of rivals
>>156642973
>least asspulls made by a main character
As a Judai lover, i can whole heatedly say that is 100% incorrect.
granted in the more important duels he usually kept it fair, but in sheer number he outclasses everyone.
>>156642442
Wait, there's something worse than zexal?
>>156631341
You like titties, don't you?
>>156634471
This is not unintentional, it's been said that the idea for Saiou and his arc came from the writer disliking Devilman vs Mazinger, some movie crossover or whatever.
>>156643807
Arc-V, the epitome of wasted potential. It had so much promise but then they left standard dimension and everything started going downhill and never recovered.
>>156643273
I don't think it's possible to outclass my man Yuma. Like, the dude is cool, but he will literally create and rewrite a card.
>>156642811
Replacing sho was a good thing, who the fuck liked that obnoxious loser?
>>156642811
At least the ones introduced are likable. Speaking of which FOSSILS WHEN
>>156644178
>Replacing sho was a good thing
Look, I like Crystal Beasts a lot, but Johan is gigantic Gary Stu.
Plus, Sho had a lot of character development.
PRECIOUS TIME
>>156635662
>But Mai jobbed way more than her
All of Mai's losses except her duel against Yugi were straight up horse shit.
>coin flip
>you can't use Ra unless you can read and speak some obscure dialect of Ancient Egyptian that only appears once you summon the card
>off-screened by Orichalcos guardian faggot
>>156645334
GLORIOUS DAYS
>>156635662
At least her ace card was cool
>>156646379
But thats not her ace, other than what she used in the Society of Light.
Her real aces are Cyber Blader, Cyber Prima and Rituals.
>>156631173
GX is one of the most popular series though
The only series people hate is ARCV
season 4 was prime yugioh if you ask me. the plot was meh but the characters and the final duel vs yugi made up for it.
the chronos and manjoume episodes in particularly were lovely.
>>156631173
I fucking loved GX. Even the S1/2 filler. There was a shit ton of it but at least the duels were fun to watch unlike say, the Zexal filler (*COUGH TOMATO) or all the Arc-V filler
>>156645601
Lost to Panik.
Lost to fucking Tea.
That's how her character is introduced.
>>156637201
The entire premise of the show is that the fate of the world depends on card games.
How is a school that teaches something the fate of the world depends on stupid?
>>156638720
Oh yeah, Yugi and Yusei totally don't.
>>156631619
That Dino shit was cool as a kid though. The different and ridiculous archtypes is what made the anime fun.
>>156631619
>>156650995
Oh wait my bad, I thought you were talking about the deck, not the Dino power in space shit. Yeah that was fucking weird.
>>156651036
As weird as it was awesome.
Seriously, I didn't care about it or gave it more thought than "Holy shit Dino in space!".
>>156635649
What's funny is that Kaz's idea for 5D's predates the original Yu-Gi-Oh manga itself. It's based on one of his reject manga.
GX was the last season I watched.
Has there been any protagonist so far gayer than Judai or is he still the biggest faggot?
>>156651244
Nope. Judai is still the gayest.
>>156633160
If it wasn't for that pic I'd swear you made all that up.
>>156652900
It should be telling that someone just requests "that" image and everyone knows what he means.
>>156650910
Their hairstyles work
Oh yes, "DINO DNA" was SO much worse then, say, "I fuse my arrow and my skull monster and equip it to your BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!" or "ATTACK THE MOON" or "I SHOOT THE SWORDS OF REVEALING LIGHT AND MAKE IT KILL YOUR MONSTER!" or "My card stops your gun from firing"
>>156653264
So, Jaden's haircut isn't crazy enough for the standard of the show? That's his fault
>>156650765
Off-screened
Had out the entire time
>>156631173
I honestly fucking hated Jaden's deck and it only got worse midway. No duel felt interesting to watch and it went full edgy, shitting on its cast. The only good scene is that kid getting killed by track-kun while he was chasing his cards carried by the wind.
>>156631173
I love Judai, yandere hermaphrodites and titties!
>>156631173
The manga wasn't bad.
>>156657140
it was rushed as shit though, other than that everything else was better.
>>156635429
Considering Egyptian Mythology and the worship of people at godhood levels such as child pharaohs where their baby game could result in the massacre of slaves.
The holographic shit to empower mummy magic has some sway.
>>156635229
>>156634853
>>156634347
Misawa is so pathetic, it used to be a meme on Arc-V threads to pretend he didn't exist and act like any images of him were blank.
>>156632854
I'm glad that DINO DNA is meta now.
>>156631173
Fuck yeah Judai thread
I don't care what anyone says, GX is my favorite YGO series.
I actually like GX, am I retarded?
>>156658599
No, the only people who don't like GX are the ones who can't handle pure FUN and take card games cartoons too seriously.
Judai is a faggot
>>156658850
Everyone's a faggot. What's your point?
>>156658850
Judai is definitely the least heterosexual protagonist

>Arc-v is so bad Yuto and Yugo seiyuu ragequit forever
>>156631173
Didn't all the mcs minus Jaden become pretty much fucking useless? Like say what you will about some Yugioh shows, but they didn't completely shit on all the characters. Like making Alexis useless was perhaps one of the biggest sins of this show
>have female duelist
>her deck is just complete garbage.
>>156658058
Why is he so best?
>>156659357
At least he got together with his waifu.
Has any other YGO protagonist managed to do that? I think not.
>>156635023
What was the left guy's name again? Was it Manjoume?
>>156659511
>attacking slifer with neos

Best boy got the best ending.
I unironically liked GX the most. There were plenty of nonsensical things here and there, but I just really liked the characters and the decks as well as other things. DM is a close second. I hated 5D's though, because that entire series was basically a Yusei wankfest. I think my biggest gripe was that I just couldn't stand that Mary Sue faggot and everyone in the show constantly reminding me of how amazing he is, made me hate him even more.
I didn't watch Zexal and Arc-V, but I haven't heard a lot of positive stuff from those two.
>>156660179
Zexal is trash, don't watch it. Arc-V is great at the start but then starts going downhill even if it's still enjoyable.
>>156660221
Arc-V ends like shit though.
Say, how are the MC in popularity polls?
>>156660179
I compare GX to Final Fantasy V in terms of tone and plot. It's wacky shit but everyone knows it so it feels fun rather than weird most of the time.
>>156659222
Yusei wasn't one
>>156660722
Why would you care about polls? Its just some fujo and nostalgia fags voting.
Judai=Yuya>Yusei>Atem>Yugi>Yuma. In term of personality
Remind me what was this character's gender again?
>>156660722
Maybe someone has the image but IIRC there was a poll in Japan for the release of Dark Side of Dimensions and Judai was third place after Kaiba and Atem.
>>156661150
I droppe Arc-V a long time ago, what did Yuya do to deserve such a high place?
>>156661158
Italian-na no ne
>>156660722
They get less popular each series.
So Yugi/Atem>Judai>Yusei>Yuma>Yuya.
It'll be tough for Yusaku to be less popular than Yuya.
>>156661477
Is that how nips see Italian people?As an actual Italian I find that hilarious.
>>156661477
>he's actually Italian
The dub lied to us!
>>156662020
Did they give Chronos specific Italian hand gestures as well?
>>156642279
>Constantly partnered with Placido and Jose just to see Granel and Wisel animations
I enjoyed their Stories a lot until Placido touched upon the Origin of the Tag Force Player upon why the MC was the same age in every Game.
>>156660722
Thread Polls had
Best MC: Yusei
Best Rival: Kaiba
Best Show: 5Ds
>>156662519
>implying /a/'s opinion matters
>>156662082
No, though hearing him spouting random Italian words was funny as hell.
>>156662764
I never saw the whole series, but I really liked Jaden's hero monsters. Which Tag Force game has them at their strongest? I want to build a hero deck like his and defeat evil with my fusion-powered brand of justice.
>>156631173

>Best girl in Tag Force
>A N Y O N E but Yuma

>>156631173
I liked the dark heroes and the support cards it had
>>156663307
Judai's deck was just awful. The only E-Hero decks that were good have been Bubble Beat, Masked Heroes and Awesome Heroes. None of which centers around Polymerization fusion.
>>156663350
>yugioh's mc never ends with anybody at the end

Oh. Well, how would I go about making one of those decks?
>>156664753
Meet your new God
>>156664167
Judai/Jaden gets undeservedly shit on in Bonds Beyond Time abridged. I wouldn't be surprised if much of his negative reputation in the West comes from the abridged version.
>>156664826
So I'll need Bubbleboys and Tin Goldfishes to get this guy out quick. What else aside from the usual Spells and Traps?

5 "Cyberdark" Effect Monsters
Must first be Fusion Summoned. If this card is Special Summoned: You can equip 1 Dragon or Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard to this card. This card gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the monster equipped to it by this effect. During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect: You can send 1 Equip Card you control to the Graveyard; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
I wish it could just equip any monster instead of it still being limited to types.
>>156636286
It made me wonder, if he lost to Judai in the graduation duel would he still be just as triggered?
>>156637201
Have you played some of the duel puzzles on ygopro? As stupid as it sounds, you could definitely teach a class on yugioh.
>>156664951
All Lists
>Bubbleman
>Tin Goldfish
>Summoner Monk
>Emergency Call
>Rota
Bubble Beat
>Miracle Fusion
>Hero Blast
>Gemini Spark
>Neos Alius
This is the most fusion friendly list. You won't be using polymerization but can fuse via Miracle. Absolute Zero, Shining, Gaia and the Vision Heroes will be your go to's. You have access to rank 4s here and can run Heroic Champion Excalibur. Easy to fit in flood gate cards, antimeta cards like Thunder King, Doomcaliber and even Dyna.
Masked Heroes
>A Hero Lives
>Mask Change
>Shadow Mist
>Goblindbergh
Throw in atleast 2 Dark Laws and 1 Acid. You can use Anki if you want as well. You could try to merge this list with Bubble Beat but it'll probably be less consistent. If you attempt this cut the Gemini Sparks and Hero Blasts. Uses rank 4 xyz much more than bubble beat
Awesome Heroes
Take Masked Heroes and add Bahamut Shark and Toadally Awesome. Most modern incarnation of the deck. Not advisable to combine with bubble beat
>>156665752
Thanks, anon. Dark Law looks pretty cool.

You can find more optimized lists for Awesome Heroes elsewhere. I have a lot more experience with bubble beat since it was sorta my main deck during it's hayday when Stratos was still legal
>>156659641
Yubel is female(both), best yandere.
>>156665578
Probably.
>>156631173
5Ds Dark Signer arc > all
>>156663350
Yugi didn't end with anyone. Rebecca doesn't count because filler
>>156659222
You can say a lot of things about Yuya, but you can't say he isn't the most heterosexual MC
>>156643273
He was just playing with a padded extra deck at a time when it was basicaslly unlimited.
>>156637201
I could teach a year's worth of college content about YGO.
Game's deep.
GX was freaking hilarious before it decided that no, we need a bigger plot than kids attending a card game school. Later seasons just scream "No please watch our show, it's dark and interesting! Come back kids, shit is about to go down!" it's no wonder 4kids never dubbed the rest of the series, it's such a badly done mood whiplash overall.
And who the heck thought making Judai into this was a good idea
>>156670849
Its a Devilman homage pretty much.
>>156670849
Speak for yourself, I thought it was overall pretty well done and with a believable character and plot progression. It didn't suddenly go completely grim-dark but it happened slowly over the course of the season.
Also I liked the fact that they actually had the balls of exploring the consequences of the "protagonist becoming evil" trope instead of just resolving everything within the episode like many other series.
>>156645218
And he's still better than a shit character like Sho.
Judai's original friends were shit.
>tfw want to build Hero
>tfw don't want to play links
>>156666341
I think he meant originally. The GX dub even hilarious had Yubels human form be voiced by a guy originally.
>>156670849
The later two seasons were still hilarious because of how shit went down. The final villain was just plain goofy looking.
And he was still better written than fucking Zarc and his own atrocious thunderthighs design.
>>156660722
In Japan its DM > GX > Zexal > 5Ds>arcv
>>156660179
Zexal is the best imo, plus the MC gets the girl in the end
>>156672459
Even Kenzan is a better character than Johan.
And all of Judai's other friends were much better friends than Johan. While Judai was actually the shitty friend to them.
>>156673424
>plus the MC gets the girl in the end
Too bad Kotori is worst girl.
>>156673472
What are you, gay?
>>156673428
No they were pretty shit friends with Judai. Especially Sho. We're not going to agree on this.
>>156673554
No, I just have good taste
>>156673554
I don't fuck parrots.
>>156673590
>Leaves them all behind without saying hes leaving after his loss to Edo, leaving them when the Osiris dorm is in danger of being torn down
>Judai lets 3 friends get brainwashed and proceeds to not give a fuck for a very long time. No effort made to free them.
>Treats Misawa like shit. Just straight up ignore him and forgets hes there.
>Gives no fucks about dragging them into danger
>Doesn't even pay attention to them as he leaves them in the dust in said danger
I can go on. The basis of the third season is everyone, Judai included, realizing Judai was a really shitty friend.
>>156673660
birds are best tho
>>156673889
Trains are better
>>156673778
Everyone forgets about Misawa.
Jun's not even a friend. Hell I'd barely consider Asuka one either.
>>156650765
>Tea technically has a 100% win rate
>>156674096
Misawa was my favorite. I'm still mad he became irrelevant for no good reason.
>>156631173
Yugioh is a stylish show. Terrible looking characters like this are an insult, only Yuma is worse.
>>156674348
At least he got someone who actually loves him in the end and stayed with her.
>>156674631I bet she fucks like a tiger
>>156634700
Kaiba was in it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMkZIEMX-dU
>>156675956
And Pegasus.
Stopped watched after 5Ds dark signers arc. Zexal and arcv looked like absolute dogshit and I'm surprised they both had consistent generals.
>>156676329
Arc V started out great and had a heroine who got to do shit.
Then less at half of the stories point they FUCKED IT UP
GX started out really wacky and comedy focused, yet as the series went on, they were trying to make it really dark and grim.
HERO were the best archetype.
I'm surprised the dub didn't turn Crowler into a woman.
>>156631173
>mc is a generic pleaseinsertyourself happy go lucky normal hair dude.
>main girl is a female joey.
>sidekick is a beta weevil.
>the yellow dude couldn't be more plain.
>>156676514
The dub turned Yubel into a dude who became a girl (dragon)
>>156653968
It's really crazy when you realize it's a Kuriboh
>>156676740
I thought it was a jellyfish.
>>156676618
Asuka is a female Kaiba.
Not in personality thoughI wish she was
Asuka 's brother reminds me of Mettaton, because of his bishie appearance, quite vain personality, popularity and wanting to entertain.
I always hear complaints about no one liking GX but the only times I see it mentioned aside from that is just talking about the batshit second half.
This will help you appreciate GX
>>156633160
Isn't the the part where that one guy gets written out too? The one who joined the society of light for getting forgotten about and then he just wanders off into the sunset because literally nobody cared.
God that guy was great. GX is my favorite season, but mostly because of shit like thisand I might have had a crush on Yubel as a kid.
>>156670849
>4Kids literally ended with Judai's death and left it at that.
For a company that hates implying anything even close to death happening it was kind of a shock.
>>156679067
I liked Koyasu ZA WARUDO and the whole white dorm.
>>156638762
>I remember some anon telling me you can get into Sherry's pants
Yes, yes you can. You better be up for becoming her husband and continuing the Leblanc blood line.
>Oscar and her clones.
Yes but Oscar-sama would never join forces with the people who ruined her life.
>>156638944
You can't get Carly, Mai, Kotori, Yuzu, and Aki depending on how hung up on Yusei she is. But Aki can be yours if you show her enough attention.
>>156676677
Wasn't like that on the origonal too? Yubel looked like a boy before his human-to-dragon surgery
>>156644022
Just like 5D's after the DS arc. Any Yu-Gi-Oh with "5" in it's title and has Ono as a director is doomed.
>>156659397
Damn can't this day get any worse?
>>156661339
He dropped down in the ranking in my opinion for his eago preaching and never finding his own entertainment and just being closed minded. Also he didn't let Yugo, Yuto, and Yuri out to return to being their own persons.
>>156676088
That was hos ghost. No one knows how to tell him he's dead so they just play alone and act like he's still alive.
>>156682912
5Ds had the sex cult excuse.
Nothing can excuse Arc-V.
>>156682163
In the 4kids dub he died?
I remember in the original he just left with Yubel for a while, presumably to defeat the Light of Destruction for good.
We still ded?
>>156641365
we do actually have schools focussed around sports. like if you're part of big clubs like feyenoord or ajax you have to go to a special school
>>156666027
Bubble Beat and Alive Hero were dank. I played Alive Hero until Stratos got banned, the deck was explosive as hell, you could reliably OTK from most hand openings
wait does tag force really have dating sim elements or at least somewhat of a romantic story to it? if so it might be time to put some of those iso's on my psp
>>156634750
>GX
>Third worse
>Worse than 5Ds.
I like 5Ds but you can't just critically pretend the second half doesn't exist. It disqualifies your criticism and your opinion. GX gets steadily better and 5Ds gets steadily worse.
>>156683744
It's been quite some time since I watched the Dub, so I could be mistaken, but I believe they left it intentionally ambiguous.
I believe Judai whips out Super Polymerization with the intend of destroying his and Yubel's soul by fusing them together. I think either Judai says that or someone observing warns that's what would happen.
After the card is activated it cuts to everyone back at school, and Sho looks up towards the heavens and says something that could be taken as a short eulogy. Like a "He was my best friend." kind of thing.
>Arc-V was so bad it made Yuto and Yugo's VAs quit the industry
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-05-01/twin-actors-manpei-takagi-shinpei-takagi-leave-entertainment-industry/.115574
>>156685055
First Baka goes private then Nyaa is kill now the twins rage quit? Is 2017 the worst year for anime?
>>156660179
You should give ZEXAL a try. It has its problems, but it's definitely not as bad as Arc-V.
Arc-V has better (in the sense that they're more palatable) character designs and the overall tone is much more down to earth than ZEXAL, but it fails terrifically on a fundamental level. It's not just a bad Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, it's a bad anime in general. ZEXAL at least knows what it is. It's a Saturday morning cartoon show, and both ZEXAL and ZEXAL II are wonderfully executed in lieu of that. The reason people laud the Barian arc as the pinnacle of ZEXAL is because you wouldn't expect that from something that presented itself like ZEXAL did.
But I find that, generally, it's more believable and makes me feel more than Arc-V does. Arc-V just feels like one long stretch of supplementary material to Yu-Gi-Oh! As in, the franchise as a whole. It's an anniversary series that feels like a Side Story, but not a good one.
>>156685055
No one give a shit. Fuck off already.
>>156682830
>But Aki can be yours if you show her enough >attention.
yes, only in tag 4, and 6 (I think)if you know japanese...
in tag 5 at the end, not really..
>>156676456
Honestly that's growing up. It's not all fun and games forever, but it's not all bad times either. That's the point of the show.
I see lots of fags talking about arc v here. This is arc v thread now? Okay.

GX was worst than Arc-V, you can't tell I'm wrong.
Also, last season was shit because it was a GX reference.
>>156686124
It's Judai desu
>>156686569
sorry, Judai
>>156685054
I see, that's completely different than what Judai said in the original but
>4kids
I'm so glad I never watched the dub.
>has great redemption arc
>single handedly defeats the White dudes in season 2
>has best moments of the end of season 2
Why aren't you Chazzing it up /a/?
>>156687429
He should've fucked Alexia and beat Jaden once, if he did that he would've been GOAT
>>156682830
>>156682830
Dayum
>>156687763
Why we don't have more titty monster heroines in YGO?
>>156687925
Asuka was pretty well endowed.
>>156687925
Because we actually have plenty of them?
Tea, Alexis, and Aki are all titty monsters. It's only after 5ds that the cup size starts to go down because of Japanese sex cults.
>>156686706
That helmet would be so much cooler if it actually covered his fucking face.
>>156684793
Do it. I liked 3 and 4 the most.
5 has worse character stories than 4 imo, 6 is untranslated, and Special is shit with a shitty fantranslation but has more up to date cards (up to end of 2014).
>>156688378
it did
>>156688476
at least I liked the yusei ending from tag special, and the aki story indeed is shit.. but I played only them...
>>156686432
>GX
>worse than Arc-V
Nigga what?
>>156688056
Anzu was more of a leg girl and a tits girl.
>>156674348
Wasn't he like the only Ra Yellow guy in the series? Should've been more of them.
>>156690226
Sho gets promoted to Ra Yellow in season 3 if I'm not mistaken.
>>156690226
>Wasn't he like the only Ra Yellow guy in the series?
Dino DNA
>>156689062
I vaguely remembered a faceplate when I first watched it. Glad to see I wasn't misremembering, Fuck man he might as well as removed the whole helmet once the SK revealed, or at least put the face plate back on when dueling.
Which dorm had the best girls?
Slifer Red, Ra Yellow or Obelisk Blue?
>>156691345
Only Blue had girls.
>>156691744
You sure?
>>156691345
Didn't only blue have girls until Rei showed up?
ICHI
>>156692016
JYU
>>156692136
HYAKU
>>156692198
SEN
>>156691345
Thought all the girls were put into blue regardless of skill.
>>156692255
>>156691345
Only Chads in Obelisk Blue like Chazz and Zane were getting pussy.
>>156631341
Ah yes, GX, with my three favorite characters, Jaden, blonde hair Jaden with boobs, and Norwegian Jaden
I wonder what Judai's parents (yes, they exist and are actually mentioned in the anime) think of all the shit their son has gone through.
>>156693007
I always figured he was adopted. Like shit who has a slide in their house besides an orphanage
>>156635560
CHAZZ IT UP
>>156692332
SANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>156693007
According to the wiki it was Judai's parents who gave him Yubel's card as a kid, and then made him "undergo a medical procedure" to make him forget about her after she was sent into space.
Typical GX stuff.
>>156694276
They lobotomized him and thats why he's all TANOSHI n shit
I thought the series was spot on about silver age comics with the wackyness. I love GX because of that reason.
